How Lansing Community College Buys
Competitive Bidding/Competitive Proposals
A competitive sealed bidding process shall be used for all acquisitions that exceed $25,000 and will be advertised in the appropriate media. IFB/RFP's will be posted online at Bid 4 Michigan. Certain solicitations of goods or services that are of a specialized nature will be advertised in other appropriate media.
The acquisition process will permit sufficient time to prepare the solicitation, advertise, determine the qualifications of bidders, availability of plans and specifications, hold pre-bid meetings, obtain deposits of bidders, receive and open sealed bids and withdrawal of bids.
Communicating Requirements to the Vendor
The Buyer will prepare the IFB/RFP communicating the customers requirements. This may consist of product specifications, Statement of Work or construction bid documents as needed. These requirements will be referenced, or provided in full text in the final purchasing document as appropriate.
Specialized Personnel
IFB/RFP specifications and/or Statement of Work will stipulate whether or not specialized personnel are required. If so, training and documentation requirements will be provided, and required to be submitted prior to the initiation of work by the vendor.
Quality System Requirements
Special Quality System and Product, Process Testing and other validation requirements (ASTM, ISO, JIS, and like standards) are to be established on the purchase order or within purchasing documents prior to the initiation of work by the vendor. The documentation required (personnel certifications et al) are to be documented for the vendor at this time.
Prevailing Wage Requirement
Work for renovation and construction bids for projects which exceed $30,000 shall be subject to prevailing wage unless otherwise prohibited by law.
When competitive sealed bids/competitive proposals are used, the College may specify that bids are for the entire project or for specified parts of the project, and it may request bids, optional alternates or additional construction. Compliance with applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations will be required. The College reserves the right to reject all bids.
Maintenance agreements purchased from the manufacturer or vendor of the specific equipment to be serviced may be made with or without competitive bidding.
Sealed bids are not required for purchases under contracts established by the College, a public agency or cooperative agreements. Purchases in case of emergency involving safety of persons, protection of property or the prompt restoration of service to minimize interruption of College activities are also exempt.
The Purchasing Director and/or Buyer(s), along with a representative from the requesting department, shall conduct negotiations as appropriate. Written documentation shall be included in the purchase order file.
All contracts for goods and services are subject to a periodic cycle of review for quality and cost, including an assessment of the market through a formalized bid process.
Sole Source Purchases
Sole source purchases are allowable only when obtaining competitive bids is impractical or when substitutes have been ascertained to be unacceptable, and after conducting a good faith review of applicable sources. Sole source purchases over $4,999 must include proper justification detailing why competitive bids would not be appropriate and that there is only one source for supplying the requested supply, service or construction item. The sole source justification does not relieve Purchasing of the responsibility to obtain a fair and reasonable price.
A purchase over $5,000 may be awarded without competition upon written
request and certification from a requesting official of at least the level of
dean that no other responsible source is available, and when Purchasing
determines in writing after conducting a good faith review of available sources,
that there is only one source for the required supply, service or construction
item. Purchasing will conduct negotiations, as appropriate, as to price,
delivery and terms.
Notice of intended sole source purchase shall be posted on the LCC purchasing website for three business days prior to execution.
A record of sole source purchases will be maintained as a public record and will list each vendor name, the amount, a listing of item(s) purchased, the purchase order number. For items $10,000 and over a rationale will and be provided to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees on a monthly basis.
Request for Quotation
A Request For Quotation will be used for acquisitions that are greater than $5,000 and less than $25,000. The buyer will seek a minimum of three written quotations. Award will be made to the vendor whose quotation is most advantageous to the College, price, quality and other factors considered.
Buyer's may exceed requisition dollar total by ten percent (10%) without seeking approval from the requisitioner. Purchases that exceed ten percent (10%) of requisition total must be approved by the requisitioner prior to award.
Advance Payment - Advance Payment is required when a vendor will not invoice, or requires payment prior to shipping good(s) and/or providing services.
Simplified Purchases -- Purchases less than $5,000
A Request for Quotation will be used for acquisitions that are greater than $5,000 and less than $25,000. The buyer will seek a minimum of three written quotations and award will be made to the Vendor whose quotation is most advantageous to the College, where price, quality and other factors are considered.
- For acquisitions less than $5,000 the buyer may go to the source recommended by the requester.
- Purchasing may delegate authority through the issuance of a LCC Card. Users of an LCC Card shall be responsible for complying with the requirements of this policy.
- Pyramiding of purchases which would result in avoiding the requirements for competitive bidding is prohibited.

Interesting that a beat reporter like Brian Costello would write this but he has a point.

Those beat reporters get 90% of their ideas from this message board.
If Brian Costello or the New York Post would like to send me a check for $275, I'll be more than happy to tailgate on Sunday and leave the parking lot at 12, 12:15 to get to a bar and watch the game there as opposed to going inside the stadium. Otherwise, I'll be there because even though I may criticize and boo the team, I'm a true fan who has already paid for his seats and won't take less for them/eat them.
Enough of this ****! This is being written in the newspapers now??? Well it is the post, but still.
I have a better idea. Pack the stadium and start a "Woody sucks" chant. Maybe by embarrassing him Woody might just get his head out of his a$$ and do something about this mess.
Yeah, everyone just give Woody their money for free and stay home. That'll show him!
Flag burning at High Noon on Sunday.
I personally won't go to a game until we see real management. I am OK with losing. the Texans loss for example. We showed up. I can live with that.
but what we see herenisnnot a player issue as much as a management issue.
Why? You paid for the tickets, go to the game.
Woody will not receive any message. Get over it.
The guy knows the situation. Did he make a change after 08'? Yes.
If a change needs to be made, it will be done.
Stop with the kindergarten hysteria.
Why stay home if you have tix??? Its going to be 50 degrees and its a 1PM game. Great day for a tailgate!
The way to stage a protest is to not watch on TV and don't buy Jets gear for Xmas.
I am staying home the last two JET home games my last JET game will be out in Tenn. for 1 last roadtrip.
To ask the most invested fns to take a hit of hundreds of dollars not to go to a game is unreasonable. The only fan who would think of that is a fan without tickets.
The only protest is a white out or paper bags.
It's all well and good to write this rubbish when it's not your dough that was spent on the tickets. I wish the NHL lockout would end so I can focus on the RANGERS.
Go to the game. Make a bunch of signs. Chant. But please be respectful to fellow fans. The team is the problem, not the fans.
I am hoping the SD game does not get flexed. That will be a huge opportunity for the fans to be heard on national TV.
I really don't understand the point to all of this... Do people think Woody isn't trying? Do they really think he doesn't care?
1. He's spending to the cap. He's not holding back significantly like other owners do.
2. He's shown more than a willingness to fire coaches. Probably fired Mangini a year too early.
3. He's at every damn game...
4. Pretty much whenever he's not at games, he's still walking around wearing a Jets hat or tie because he's proud to be the owner. I've seen him in the city during the week and he's doing exactly that.

The Tycho Conventions clearly and without quibbling point out and ban the use of combat robots in the Cosmic Era. The world powers signed and went on making their battle bots without giving the treaty a second thought. Some nations made a show that their robots were in logistics, or support positions, not out mowing down insurgents and combatants. Some nations made efforts to make their combat robots look humanoid, often creating human appearing androids for military use. Then there are the Skeletrons, the sort of robot that the Conventions set about to make sure didn't show up.
The Skeletron is a minimally designed robot, it is human sized and shaped, but this is simply because the vast majority of weapons and vehicles used in warfare are designed for humans. Skeletrons are as their name implies, very skeleton looking, with exposed servos and pistons wrapped under light armor carapacing. Their heads are very skull like, with exposed teeth, glowing red eyes, and the sort of organic aesthetic to their design that keeps luddites and technophobes awake at night with cold sweats.
Skeletrons have a minimalist construction pattern, making them relatively cheap and easy to manufacture. Rather than creating heavy armored Skeletrons, the corps that make them instead will put skeletrons into power armor suits made for human soldiers. While there is more maintenance required on both systems, a destroyed power armor will often protect the soldier or skeletron inside, whereas a heavy combat robot is much more likely to be damaged to the point of being scrapped.
Skeletrons are found across the world and are manufactured by a variety of corporations. Rather than representing a single specific robot, the term skeletron covers a variety of machines that share common aesthetic designs and combat usage, such us using human designed weapons and armor rather than integrated systems.
The largest Skeletron producer is Coltan Technologies of South Africa, and it produces tens of thousands of their C-600 series heavy skeletrons to augment the SAUR Heavy Infantry and SAUR Iron Grenadiers units. These large skeletrons carry infantry support weapons, and work as fire support units for power armor squads, defensive support units, and in peacetime can be used for rescue and repair operations. The C-600 has been copied and is limited production in the Republic of California and Nippon.
UAC in the Commonwealth of New England produces the successful T7 TechnoTrooper. The T7 has a very limited cognitive function and the vast majority are slaved to controllers through encrypted CogNet connections. While this makes them incredibly effective in combat, it also makes them vulnerable to being cut off from Command and Control, and they can be remote hacked or ghosted by elite cybersecurity ops. T7s do double duty in hazardous industries and in military operations. The T7 is mostly used in the Atlantic Federation Afrika Corps, and the European DMZ.
Amerikka Command has been a long time supporter of Skeletrons, with the relatively sophisticated but cheap Mobile Battle Armor Trooper (MoBAT). The MoBAT is largely made of inexpensive plastics and then clad in SLAB armors or standard power armor suits. MoBATs provide the bulk of AC infantry forces and were effective enough in combat that the Atlantic Federation created the Wolfhound Power Armor suit for the sole purpose of anti-robot warfare. Likewise, the Federation T7 is often armed for exclusive anti-robot warfare.
The Skeletron is a pragmatic answer to the need for cheap and expendable soldiers. History has proven repeatedly that despite their awesome firepower, battlemechs, aerospace craft and flying warships don't win wars, boots on the ground win wars. The Tycho Convention was drafted in the early days of the Second Renaissance, and the Ban against Combat Robots was grounded in centuries of literature and media that portrayed robots as the destroyers of mankind. The fear of the Terminator Robot was strong enough at that point to prompt most nations into signing onto the ban.
As years went by, attempts to bolster the population met with mixed results. The constant low level war that occurred first within the nascent superstates, and then later between them, sapped the efforts of growing the population. While there was a military shift away from unlimited warfare to a more medieval sort of chivalrous combat between mecha and greater importance placed on special forces, there was still that basic need for the soldier with a rifle, and lots of them. Clones work to an extent, but the time and resources required to grow and train a clone are high, plus clone rights along with media coverage of clone troopers being butchered limited their relative value.
Early combat robots were designed as specific purpose machines; Squad support robots, artillery robots, laser and plasma weapon mobility systems, and the like. These machines did their work as well as they could with their purposely limited intelligence, but they proved expensive, required large amounts of maintenance and there were serious contractor issues. Contracts were floated and different companies were building robots for a cohesive federal military, and the machines had limited to no compatability. A German manufactured Koensayr-Krupp Bruno Mortar-bot and a Confederate Rocketdyne Laser Lancer robot were incompatible to the point that the only thing the two machines could share was paint. This was a common problem across almost all of the superstates.
It would be Amerikka Command that broke the mold with their first and second generation MoBATs. These cheap mass produced robots were specifically designed to use human weapons, human armor, and human vehicles, creating a readily replaceable military force. Other nations at the time were developing specialized integrated weapon systems, and manned vehicles to move the robots around on the field. The MoBATs picked up fallen weapons, worked with battlefield salvage operations, and when not being used for combat, the MoBATs could be used in industrial applications.
Amerikka Command disseminated their MoBAT technology around the world through their allies, Armas, the Python Patrol, and Shadow-Law. This sharing of technology saw the utilitarian design fall into superstate hands, where it was doled out to the federal military contractors who immediately started 'improving' the initial MoBAT concept. Some designs have done well, with better LAI cortices, or improvements in basic manufacturing. The majority are 'improved' to the point that they become expensive to make, or time consuming.
Strength - The typical skeletron is stronger than a human being, but not massively so. They are able to move heavy objects, heft large weapons, and control vehicles lacking power assistance. But they are not peeling back armor plating with their bare hands. They can fairly quickly rip apart SLAB armor and other assembled armor but this is more violent removal than defeating the armor.
Agility - As low end cortex users, Skeletrons are more deliberate than agile. While they can move quickly, they don't duck, dodge and feint in combat. This is typically how one on one encounters against skeletrons can be swung in a human's favor.
Endurance - Most production model skeletrons use a long duration dimensional cell battery giving them a stand-by time of 3-6 months, passive low power operations of 1 month, and 5-7 days of high intensity activity. Most have energy regeneration systems built into the legs so that movement power can be recaptured.
Intelligence - Low, skeletron cortices are made on the cheap, and they can be fooled by clever disguises, traps, and so forth. They are unable to speak, other than acknowledging commands or reporting back easily answered questions. Skeletrons are accurate shooters, and rather than spewing out barrages of firepower, they tend to conserve ammo. Unless the machine is fairly certain it will hit what it aims at, it won't fire. While not a function of intelligence, most skeletrons have enhanced optics, and many have low light, thermographic and other advanced but relatively common upgrades.
Wisdom - Rather counter-intuitively, Skeletrons have a fair degree of wisdom. While they can be fooled by cleverness and cunning, they cannot be argued into logic loops, or tricked into things like marching off cliffs. Soldiers working with skeletrons in field liken them to working with mules or other pack animals. Not the smartest of creatures, but they know how to avoid doing stupid things.
Charisma - None, they look like mechanical skeletons. Skeletrons are not able to perform social interactions beyond the most basic. Contrary to the holovids, they don't pause for dramatic effect, laugh, take pleasure in killing, or show fear when outclassed.
Speed - Same as human. Military equipment, strategy, and doctrines are built around the fact that a human being moves at a set pace. Skeletrons have the same overland movement rate as humans. They can move in quick bursts, but such movement drains their power supplies much more quickly than walking at a moderate pace.
Hit Points/Health - High, Skeletrons are made of durable materials, and their vulnerable components are often individually armored. Taking one out requires destroying the power pack buried in the torso (the heaviest constructed part) or the cortex. Unfortunately, the cortex sits under and behind the power pack inside the torso. The head has the primary sensor systems, but does not contain the robot brain. A headless skeletron linked in a network with other bots can provide fire support via triangulation.
Why Does Any of This Matter?
In the 80s Saturday morning cartoon genre there was a need for easily smashed foes that could be destroyed in such a manner as to not offend the censors. I've read articles that discuss how what was acceptable changed from week to week. One week it was okay to punch someone in the head, other weeks it wasn't. But if the foes weren't human, if they were robots, then the censors didn't have much to say about it. GI Joe had Cobra fielding battle android troopers, TMNT had the Foot Clan soldiers inexplicably turning into peanut headed robots, and so forth. The Skeletron is a light robot designed on a meta level to be the easily smashed foe, like the battle droids from the Phantom Menace.
Skeletrons are the diet version of Terminators.
I am also amused by saying Skeletrons. Skeletrons.
Plot Hooks
Charge of the Light Brigade - The PCs are doing a mission, likely armed to the teeth. They are accosted by a large number of skeletrons, firefight ensues while the PCs start comparing their kill counts on the 'clankers'.
Skeletron Sabotage - The PCs are hired to shadowrun a skeletron factory, which is heavily defended by skeletrons. They can be there to steal new plans for the next gen bots, test the defenses or just inflict as much damage on the facility as possible.
Skeletron NPCs - Skeletrons can be purchased as demilitarized models, which are popular for highly expendable bodyguards, parts of entourages and other public uses.

WFUV Pop Quiz: Steve Earle
For more than three decades, Texas-born Steve Earle has been one of the most respected songwriters of country and folk music, first in Nashville and for the past few years in New York City, where he lives with his wife, Allison Moorer, and their son John Henry Earle. He's never been shy about expressing his opinions, so it was natural to ask him to take the WFUV Pop Quiz. True to form, his answers were anything but predictable.
Aside from gear, instruments, your band, you don't go on the road without…?
My computer.
You're an Apple-head right?
Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, there's all kinds of other stuff, but a computer has got to go. At least some form a of a computer.
What song do you wish you had written and why?
Oh there's a bunch of songs I wish I had written. Let's see, "If I Needed You" by Townes Van Zandt - just because it's so simple.
Who do you wish recorded one of your songs, dead or alive?
Townes. Guy Clark recorded one of my songs. Very, very big deal, you know, when one of your teachers records one of your songs.
What song would you sing in the shower but never in public?
Oh, I sing lots of songs in the shower but never in public. Probably "A Change is Gonna Come." Allison sings that song, and at a show she tried to get everyone to sing along with her. They didn't, and she didn't understand why, and on the bus I said, "Honey, you're one of about three people on the planet who can sing that song. They're not singing along because they can't." So that might be one that I would try to sing in the shower but never in public.
Do you remember the first album you bought?
Absolutely. Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the first one I bought with my own money. I had a lot of hand-me-downs from my uncle before that, but that was the very first one that I bought.
If someone finds your iPod and hits shuffle, is there a certain song you hope doesn't come up?
You know, I don't have any shame about that when it gets right down to it. The stuff that might surprise people is that you might find Hanson on my iPod and Fine Young Cannibals. There's a lot of pop music like that that I really, really love. I think "MmmBop" is a masterpiece. I think it's a great pop record. I think it was on the very first iPod I ever owned.
What's your favorite Dylan song?
"She Belongs to Me."
Actually a couple of your love songs recently have that feel to me.
Yeah, he was really good with that when he finally caught the wave. It begins with love songs that maybe quite weren't really love songs but personal songs, like, "Positively 4th Street"- you know, that kind of stuff. If you asked me on another day, I might have said "If You See Her Say Hello." Those are my favorite Dylan songs.
What job would you have if you weren't a musician?
Well, I might just write books. I didn't think I could do it because I had an 8th grade education. I finally in my 40s starting doing it, and I probably could make a living out of the thing.
Do you have any hidden talents?
Probably not. All the stuff I'm good at, I kind of do pretty publicly. I paint, but it's really more therapeutic than anything else. I haven't done it in a while. It was mainly Terry Allen that got me into it. He asked me what I been doing, and I said all the books are getting ready to come out and the records coming and he said, "Cool man. Don't you do any visual arts?" I started painting the next day.
Do you cook?
I do, but I'm not allowed to very often, because I wreck the entire kitchen. I cook mostly manly stuff. I actually attempted and pulled off a cassoulet last year, so I do cook.
Do you have a signature dish?
Chili. A really good Texas chili with no beans in it.
What's the biggest misconception that your fans or media have about you?
I don't think my real fans have any misconceptions about me. I think our relationship is pretty wide open, and I think there might be just be fans of "Guitar Town" or "Copperhead Road," but the people that have stayed with me through the whole thing - I'm really proud of them, because they let me be me and I let them be them, and it's an audience that's really stuck with me. In general, there might be an idea that I'm narrower in my focus than I am, that I'm harder to get along with than I am. I will say stuff that maybe other people won't say in a given situation, but for the most part I'm pretty approachable. Occasionally I realize I have trouble communicating with people because they're afraid of me and I don't understand that.
And the last one, what wacky thing would you do if you had the time, the guts, or money?
The Orient Express. Just go to Istanbul on the Orient Express.

Rumors that Continental Cement is having trouble getting barges to and from its Hannibal plant on the drought-starved Mississippi River are apparently just that ... rumors.
Rumors that Continental Cement is having trouble getting barges to and from its Hannibal plant on the drought-starved Mississippi River are apparently just that ... rumors.
"As of yet we're doing OK," said Mark Strieker, the company's vice president of finance and administration.
Part of the reason that Continental is not being impacted is because of where it's shipping to and from.
"We do move a lot of it (product) by barge, but we head up to the Quad Cities area and down to St. Louis. Most of the problems you hear about are St. Louis and south," said Strieker.
On Friday, Army Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard officials said they believe that efforts being taken to keep a key stretch of the river channel open about 150 miles south of St. Louis will be sufficient.
Shipping groups warned last week that the waterway in that area could drop to a point - 3 feet on the river gauge - in which barge weight restrictions would have to be further tightened, effectively halting shipping.
Drafts, or the portion of each barge that is submerged, already are limited to 9 feet in the middle Mississippi. Officials with a river shipping trade group say that if drafts are restricted to 8 feet or lower, many operators will shut down.
According to Strieker, some shipping challenges were seen by Continental Cement in 2012.
"We had some problems this summer when they were doing dredging at different points where the settling got bad," he said. "I guess we're not anticipating bad, bad problems yet, but we're watching it.
"Our problems are not as bad as people that are trying to move grain all the way down to New Orleans for example."
The Courier-Post contacted St. Louis-based Bunge, which has a grain terminal in East Hannibal, Ill. However, a spokesperson with the company declined to discuss how the low river levels are impacting its shipping.
While Bunge is mum on the drought's impact on its operations, Continental Cement acknowledges that it has formulated a backup plan should river levels continue to drop.
"Alternatives are you would have to truck, but I don't see that. If it's shut down for long durations it does become a problem moving that much product by truck," said Strieker. "The most economical way for most companies there on the river is to move by barge."
(The Associated Press contributed to this story.)

I like yaoi so...yea. Couldn't think of a better name at the time -shrug-
Hey everyone :D
BebopHitchhiker: The Birth of a Screenname...
!. Take the title of my all-time favorite anime series (Cowboy Bebop)
2. Take the title of my all-time favorite book series (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy)
3. Take a dull machete to all those extra letters hanging around to form a nice, friendly, and especially, MUCH shorter, screenname.
I used the name in some online game that wouldn't allow me to put just Shrapnel since it was already taken, so I added 893. Now, I use it for almost every site I go to.
[No information available]
NJ stands for New Jersey, and ZanDatsu is a saying used in the Metal Gear Rising trailer.
(Zan) cut
(Datsu) take.
first initial of my first name and my last name.
Gamers anyone?
Something i came up with on a whim i guess. It doesn't really stand for anything either. Just some random words mixed together.
This place is so deeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaad. Like wow. Death death DEATH.
there was a time when i had way too many different internet usernames on different sites. so i decided to come up with what would be the one most awesome username ever that i would use on most future sites i create profiles on.
so then i started out with the name of the most badass pokemon, darkrai. then i needed to change it around a little. so then i came up with a word similar to dark (shadow) and swapped that with dark. i left the "w" off of shadow in my username though because it looks way cooler without it.
thus, the most awesome internet username ever, shadorai, was born.
I'm hardly active.
well a friend said i can be like L due to using logic and such and then i watched deathnote and liked it so i decided to make it so why not now i just keep it because it reminds me of things and ect and why throw away a good account for ?
Once during my travels through the orient I happened across a loli, a rare find to be sure, but nothing too amazing. Then something happened. Said loli proceeded to fall backwards onto a bed and *pomf* I heard the voice of what I think was God. That moment has stuck with me since then and I meditate on it every day, and when I meditate on it I feel the power of the loli flowing through me.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.
Saki is the nickname I've been stuck with for ten years (even though I've tried to get rid of it). Aiza comes from my last name, to which I removed a letter.

Lens the name. Protagonists my game.
Mine was from when I was a kid and learned to ask if I could have an Asahi beer in Japanese... So yeah... my username is pretty much a retarted spelling of Asahi Beeru.... (Biru)
がっかり (-。-;)
Ra's al Ghul is my favorite Batman villian. He calls Bruce, his eventual protege, detective. He rarely addresses him as Batman. Alex is a name I like.
Brainstormed 5 or 6 "unique" usernames that I could use for all the accounts I needed. Surprisingly, only 3 of them worked on all the sites, and this one was my favorite at the time. The origin of this name came from a joke that my friend made a lot. Whenever his girlfriend did something stupid he'd just say "god-damn double X's." I don't really put much stock into stereotypes, and I should be clear that there are women that are much smarter, better, and more enjoyable to chill with than I am. However, as a guy, it is HILARIOUS to see girls that perfectly fit into stereotypes that describe how dumb women are.
Sakura Kaede from Kampfer, wasn't thinking much when i made this account

A new community foundation aims to improve life in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
A new community foundation aims to improve life in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
The Bayou Community Foundation was launched by residents of both parishes in an effort to establish a large community nonprofit organization that can attract and manage donations for education, coastal, and health and human service projects in the region.
"The Bayou Community Foundation will allow us to do great things for our communities," said Charlotte Bollinger, one of the founding members of the foundation. "We will be able to attract critical resources needed to improve the quality of life for all."
The board members of the Bayou Community Foundation include Chair Alexis Duval, Vice Chair J.J. Buquet III, Secretary Danna E. Schwab and Treasurer Edward Bouterie. Other board members include Bollinger, Al Danos, Jr., Berwick Duval, Felicia Frederick, Stephen Peltier and Koti Sangisetty.
Berwick Duval, a Houma attorney, said he saw the need for a community foundation when he served on the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Many other communities around the state had foundations that made it easier for them to gain grants and other donations to help with recovery.
"During that process, although Terrebonne and Lafourche did receive some grants, it was more difficult to get funds than communities that had community foundations," Alexis Duval said.
The Houma-Thibodaux area is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the state but doesn't have one of these community foundations, Berwick Duval said.
A collection of residents with similar ambitions came together to launch the foundation, and after hurricanes Gustav and Ike and the BP oil spill, they knew it was time to get it done.
Restore or Retreat Executive Director Simone Maloz loaned some of her experience to help get the project off the ground. She approached the Greater New Orleans Foundation, which had helped to launch similar community foundations in St. Bernard, Plaquemines and Jefferson parishes.
The Greater New Orleans Foundation helped set up the Bayou Community Foundation as a donor-advised fund, an affiliate to the Greater New Orleans Foundation under its nonprofit umbrella. The Bayou Community Foundation has access to its expertise but makes independent decisions about its projects.
Local nonprofit groups such as the Lafourche Education Foundation and the Terrebonne Foundation for Academic Excellence are also run this way.
"Leadership like this strengthens the entire region," said Albert Ruesga, president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation. "We are proud to partner with the founding members of the Bayou Community Foundation because they understand how the power of philanthropy can transform communities."
The foundation is getting down to business, Alexis Duval said. The board elected officers last week and are outlining their governing rules. The first order of business for the newly formed Bayou Community Foundation is to contract with a coordinator who will report to the board.
They've begun raising money to begin philanthropic work. The group has received a $500,000 grant from the Gheens Foundation in Lafourche to begin launching its work over the next five years and will be raising $1 million in matching dollars.
The foundation has committed to putting at least 90 percent of its first $100,000 from the Gheens Foundation back into the community, so Alexis Duval said it plans to get to work quickly accepting grant applications. The foundation hopes to get to work around the new year.
"The coastal communities are facing some tough challenges," Bollinger said. "We will use the Bayou Community Foundation to attract national and local philanthropic dollars to invest in our sustainability. Together with our philanthropic partners we can create a place that will be enjoyed for generations to come."

Had Leslie West done nothing more than record "Mississippi Queen" – one of rock guitar's finest moments -- his place in music history would be assured. Fact is, however, that classic, which West recorded with the legendary trio Mountain, is just one chapter in a vast body of work that attests to his monumental skills. In the summer of 2011, West underwent an amputation of his lower leg due to complications from Type 2 diabetes. Just three months later, he released Unusual Suspects, a guitarist's dream album featuring an A-list of fellow six-string greats. Such is the fortitude of the man. In the quotes below, he talks about playing with Jimi Hendrix, how he gets his unique tone and the "coolest rock star" with whom he's ever jammed.
On his setup for "Mississippi Queen," as told to Guitar World:
It was a Les Paul Junior, and I was using a Sun Coliseum 100-watt PA head. It had four mic inputs and a master volume. At Mountain's first gig out in San Francisco at the Fillmore, these Suns showed up, and I said, "What am I going to do with this? This is a PA, you know?" There were 4 X 12's in the cabinets into two heads.... I just used the head and the cabinet by plugging the guitar into the mic input, which is the only choice I had. We had to play that night for the first time. I turned it up and got a nice tone out of it and then I turned the master up. I said, "Wow this sounds great," and it became my amp.
On how the Les Paul Junior became his go-to guitar, as told to Premier Guitar:
I was in the studio with Felix Pappalardi one day, and the guitar I had wouldn't stay in tune. So Felix handed me a Les Paul Junior and said, "Play this; it'll stay in tune." He was right. After that, I was hooked on Juniors. I could never understand why people complained that it only had one pickup. I could roll off some treble and get that nice "woman tone" out of it, or I could play it full on. It's more versatile than people think.
On seeing Elvis in person as a kid, as told to Premier Guitar:
My uncle, Will Glickman, wrote for television, including The Jackie Gleason Show and The Phil Silvers Show. I wanted to see Jackie Gleason live, so my grandmother took me to the TV studio. When we got there, we found out that the Dorsey Brothers were filling in for Jackie Gleason. So I was upset I started to cry, but we stayed anyway, and there was this singer appearing that night with a guitar and a band. His name was Elvis Presley. Once I saw Elvis, I knew I had to have a guitar.
On how "Mississippi Queen" was written, as told to Gibson.com:
[Mountain drummer] Corky Laing came up with the lyric when he was in his previous band, Energy. He was playing the drums at some club, and the power went out. He saw a girl dancing, and he wanted to keep her dancing, so he started shouting out this stuff. When we got together, he showed me the lyric. I already had the music, and we constructed the song in about 20 minutes.
On playing with Pete Townshend during the Who's Next sessions, as told to Gibson.com:
I got a call from The Who's manager, asking if I wanted to play on the album. I was like, "Well, they have a guitar player." But he said Pete didn't want to play lead guitar, that he wanted me to play. It was really funny, those sessions. [Producer] Kit Lambert ran around holding up signs, whenever we would be getting good take. He did that during "Won't Get Fooled Again," holding a sign up that said, "GOOD JOB. KEEP IT UP." Later, of course, they re-did the album with Glyn Johns producing. But Pete did release the original sessions, many years later. I gave him a Les Paul Junior, at those sessions.
On meeting Slash for the first time, as told to Geeks of Doom:
His tour manager sent me a request on Facebook. He wanted me to come see Slash playing in New York. I couldn't make the show because I had surgery on my leg, but I said, "I have this track, 'Mud Flap Momma.' You could send it to Slash, let him listen to it, see if he would be so kind to play on it." About a week later he writes me back and says Slash loves the track, but he doesn't see where I would need him to play. [laughs] I said I know exactly where I want him to play. I rented a studio in Hollywood and … there's Slash with his guitar… and he played "Mud Flap Momma."
On how he gets his great tone, as told to Guitar World:
When you play a little slower, like I play, you give the notes a chance to use the sound that comes out of an amp. The sound of the amp really is movement of air. And I work on the tone a lot. I use full bass on the amp and have the treble set to 5, and I put the mid-range on maybe 2 or 3. Then it's actually the attack of my right hand on whether I want soft or loud, but I play pretty much with my finger on the volume control, rolling it off the back and I'm really happy with it. I really do work on the tone.
On playing with Jimi Hendrix, as told to Goldmine:
We jammed together over at Ungano's [a small club in Manhattan]. He came in late one night and I said hello to him, and asked if he wanted to play. He said yeah, but he didn't have any equipment. So we went in his limo down to our loft on 36th Street and picked up some equipment. I remember my road manager was sleeping when I woke him up, and there we were, me and Jimi Hendrix, standing right over him. He [couldn't believe it]. We put some amps into the limo and went back to the club and jammed. This happened two or three weeks before he died.
On how he developed his signature vibrato, as told to Goldmine:
It came to me over time. I listened to Clapton's vibrato and Hendrix's vibrato and Mick Taylor. Those guys had it. Everybody else didn't have very good vibratos. It's like a voice. You've got to have full control over it at all times, like an opera singer. To me that's the first sign of an excellent musician: what his vibrato is like. Once you've got that down, to me, that's the beginnings of a really great player.
On the "coolest rock star he ever jammed with," as told to MusicRadar:
[It's] Slash. Actually, it's a tie between Slash and Zakk Wylde. Slash is a total rock star. The minute he opens his eyes in the morning, he's a rock star, whereas Zakk looks like Paul Bunyan. It takes [Zakk] a while to become a rock star. But Slash, he's the all rock star. I love his playing. I love Zakk's playing, too.

More from Jason Isaacs "Deathly Hallows" and Malfoy's Wig in New Interview
Mar 03, 2010
Isaacs Interviews
A bit of an interview with Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) has come online care of MTV, which continues to release clips from recent interviews with the cast of the Potter films. In this latest clip, Mr. Isaacs expands on earlier comments about finishing his part of the film by saying, "It's been nearly 10 years for me. It was very difficult saying goodbye to the entire thing." The actor continues, tongue planted squarely in cheek, by saying:
"Mostly saying goodbye to the wig was a very emotional experience… I don't get to keep the wig. I don't know, it might be on a traveling exhibit. I think it's got a very good agent who's got some more work lined up."
The full interview clip can seen below, or via this link.

If I were you, I'd start "forgetting" your extra suit.
Hmm. While I think she is incorrect, I do understand where she is coming from. It sounds like you're lending her the same suit every single time she takes the class. From her perspective, it's probably a case of "She's letting me use this swimsuit every time I want it, why doesn't she just give it to me?" or something like that. Because she sees that you have and use a different suit, and you always have this other suit available for her, she probably assumes that you don't need/use the spare. I think your tactic of making plans that don't involve the class is the best way to go here.
"Sorry, Friend, I don't have an extra suit right now. I let a friend borrow it and she never gave it back, can you believe it? We You can go walk the track instead, if you don't have a suit."
lol. That would convey both that she has to provide her own suit and also that the "extra" suit is not used by her exclusively (if she didn't already know). Might make her rethink wanting to use it altogether.
A decent swimsuit is not cheap. It isn't like borrowing a pair of gym shorts and not returning them. Even glomming onto something like that would be a bit much.If the OP's friend doesn't bring her own work-out gear, she doesn't work out. It's as simple as that. She needs to be told firmly but politely that this is not going to continue.
You made it clear you were lendin it to her. It is rude of her to keep insisting you let her have it. Due to that, I wouldn't let her borrow it at all anymore. She can buy her own.

The lights are on
What do you think of the PS4? Do you think Sony will prevail? or do you think he will fail? Do you think the PS4 will deliver greatly or poorly? Will the PS4 kick ass or be second place again like the PS3? (even though for me PS3 was better) what are your expectations of the PS4? Leave your answer in the comments!!!
I dont believe the ps3 was ever in second place. failure rate on Xbox was ridiculous. It also caught up on sales with xbox. that being said ive always been a playstation man and i believe it will exceed all of our expectations.
If the price is 350 and below it will sell like crazy if not people will wait until a price drop
it would probably be good for people who don't have a playstation yet. but for people who have a ps3 then no.
I grew up playing the Super Nintendo and Playstation one. For me, it isn't about the price or whether or not the system is going to be popular. Sony has given me rich adventures that I can't find on any other platform. Nintendo has great games like Mario, Donkey Kong and Pokemon, but that's the extent they give me. Sony gave me Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, etc. Because of this, many people are going to be purchasing the PS4. A lot of Playstation owners have fond childhood memories with the Playstation brand. Will the next PS4 be a success? It'll definitely be greater than how the PS3 was first perceived. Will it surpass the Next X-Box in terms of sales numbers? Well, I honestly don't care about sales numbers. What it'll come down to is the customer and game support. If Microsoft doesn't deliver their fans games, then they will fall.

Frank Gehry yesterday unveiled conceptual designs that will transform Toronto's King Street Entertainment District and radically change the city's skyline. The multi-phase, multi-year project is the largest and most significant urban project for the Toronto-born architect, bringing new cultural, residential and retail spaces to a site adjacent to the Royal Alexandra Theatre, creating a new visual identity for the city's premiere arts district. It is a special project for Gehry who grew up in the King Street West neighborhood.
The project is the vision of David Mirvish, the founder of Mirvish Productions, who through his family's support of the arts has helped make Toronto a major international arts destination. The project, which is bordered by many of Toronto's leading cultural institutions, will have as its center the new Mirvish Collection museum, a 60,000 sq ft gallery dedicated to abstract art and a new facility for OCAD University.
The design creates a new profile of the arts district both at the streetscape and on the skyline. The conceptual design, which will continue to evolve, consists of two six-storey stepped podiums, which relate in scale and articulation to the neighboring buildings, topped by three iconic residential towers, ranging in size from 80 to 85 storeys. The trio of towers works together to form a dynamic still life on the skyline.
The west block of the plan, oriented to King Street West, features a stepped podium with the Mirvish Collection in the atrium and planted terraces that create a green silhouette overlooking King Street and Metro Square. The east block of the plan includes the preservation of the Royal Alexandra Theatre and another stepped podium housing the OCAD University facility that fronts onto King Street West.
The project incorporates a new multi-floor facility for the OCAD University Public Learning Centre for Visual Art, Curatorial Studies and Art History, including exhibition galleries, studios, seminar rooms, and a public lecture hall. The galleries will feature curatorial programming drawn from OCAD University faculty, the OCAD University Art Collection, the OCAD University Archives and the Printmaking and Publications Research and Production Centre.
"Urban universities such as OCAD University contribute to and benefit from their situation within a creative city," said Dr. Sara Diamond, OCAD University President and Vice-Chancellor. "We are a hub for art, design, media, research, innovation and the business of creativity, and this new facility, in the heart of a transforming cultural district, is a perfect setting for OCAD University."
As part of the plan, the Princess of Wales Theatre, owned and operated by Mirvish Productions, will be replaced along with adjacent warehouses. The artist Frank Stella, whose commissioned murals are part of the Princess of Wales Theatre, will partner with Frank Gehry to develop new work for the project, integrating art and architecture. "The Princess of Wales Theatre is a wonderful space to experience theatre, but the next step for the future of this neighborhood is providing new kinds of cultural spaces," said David Mirvish. "We are dedicated to providing more theatre in Toronto, not less, and through our other theatres, we will continue to provide world-class theatre experiences."

Romney-Ryan: GOP wants smaller government, except in abortion politics
I have a healthy suspicion of all forms of government and politicians and therefore advocate for small government and giving politicians as little power as we possibly can. Here is one reason why.
The same politicians who say they want small government — many who claim to be conservatives — also want government to ban abortion in all its forms. Now that this has clearly come to light, Romney is refusing to answer questions about this issue. The Republicans are running scared and have demanded that a Republican Senate candidate, Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri, who made outrageous comments about "legitimate rape," withdraw from his race.

Katherine Lacy '15 spent her summer conducting hands-on scientific research through the Amgen Scholars Program at the University of Washington.
More than 3,600 people from across the nation applied to the program, but only 255 — including Lacy — were accepted.
"It was definitely a very valuable experience because of the connections I made and the people I met," says Lacy, a math major. "I took away a new confidence that I could do research and I could contribute."
The Amgen Scholars Program provides fully funded scientific research experiences to undergraduate students at 10 universities in the United States and three in Europe. The program launched seven years ago.
For her project, Lacy engaged in research titled, "Excited State Trans-Cis Isomerization of Azobenzene: A New ab initio Molecular Dynamics Approach."
Under the guidance of professor Xiaosong Li, Lacy examined how the azobenzene molecule changed shapes when hit with light.
"It has a ton of different applications as a photo switch," says Lacy, a native of Bothell, Wash. "(The research) has different biological applications to open and close ion channels and to control the nature of surfaces."
In addition to her work in the lab, Lacy attended the annual Amgen Scholars U.S. Symposium, where students learned about biotechnology and drug discovery development, met and networked with other Amgen Scholars and talked with leading scientists.
"Last year, I was trying to decide if I should major in math or science. Through this experience, I learned there's an intersection between the two. That's where a lot of exciting research is happening," Lacy says.
"This opened my eyes to even more possibilities. It has helped me to solidify the next step to take."

The Sioux Falls saturation patrol will run from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. through Friday.
Lt. Miller says four to six additional officers will work each day during the saturation patrols.

Legend of Galactic Heroes
Hey, with this nickname, I thought I'd kick off a thread for discussion of the greatest anime SF epic ever, Legend of the Galactic Heroes! (Now if only I could figure out how to set an appropriate avatar pic!)
Here's a list of links to resources on the series:
If you want to learn more about this show, the best English language web resource is http://www.logh.net
There is a subsection of the above page containing the LoGH pages that used to be maintained by "Ming" at Stony Brook, but which no longer exist there. I felt these were some of the nicest looking LoGH pages around, and had a great list of quick links. Check out http://www.logh.net/minglogh/LoGH.html
For info on the LoGH mailing list, the oldest and most clued-in community of LoGH fans on the net, check http://www.logh.net/loghlist/info.html
Also if you are interested in seeing an English language DVD release of this series, be sure to check out the AnimeOnDVD discussion at http://forums.animeondvd.com/showthr...b=5&o=&fpart=1

When I saw it I knew that it was probably a loooooooong running series... plus the song "Bolero" is now permanently associated in my mind with huge white spaceships.
I was thrilled when someone digitized the old 40 ep fansub and put it up here on animesuki. I seeded it for quite a while, but few people were interested in watching it. Maybe the VHS quality was too bad for people to want to stick with it. Has there been any change in someone fansubbing past ep 40?

I've seen like 42 episodes and a short OVA about Reindhardt and Kircheise ('On Golden Wings' I think it was) on VHS years ago, then the digitized 40 episodes and the two movies...then someone did a sub using DVD source, and it was absolutely gorgeous. They only did that one episode though, to my knowledge.
This is an excellent series, and I'm suprised that it doesn't have a much more prominent place in the anime community, especially among those that like really character and plot heavy stories.
I really hope the english release works out, I have no clue how many signatures they've gotten on the official request list. I know several people that have signed it. Last I'd heard they were about halfway to the minimum signatures required for them to commit to a North American english release.

I have maintained for many years, though, that the true audience for this series in the USA is not to be found so much among anime fans as it is among literary and serious science fiction fans (people who like the works of Isaac Asimov, and enjoyed Babylon 5 for example). This was why I made an effort to promote the show at the 2001 World Science Fiction Convention in Philadelphia. Of course, I was helped by the fact the Mr. Yukio Kikukawa, producer of the LoGH anime, was also in attendance because he is a part of the "Worldcon in Japan 2007" bid committee! Man, what a great bid party they threw! I think a lot of anime fans would have kicked themselves for not attending Worldcon, since among the committee members hosting their party was the producer of Tenchi Muyo!, the producer of Galactic Heroes, and more! And you could just hang and chat with them! At an anime con these people would have a GoH panel and then be shuffled off so the regular fans wouldn't have a chance to mingle with them.

Honestly after watching this series ... it has changed my way of thinking about this world.
e.g. Yang's ideal and prospective about life
As far as I am concerned LoGH will always be my favorite series. The plot is just huge. The space battles were done very nicely.
I have finished the entire TV series and the OVA
and 3 of the sidestories ... (I think I still miss one or two of them)

err ... sorry about it guys ...
Spoiler tag is now in place ...
Is that really a spoiler for LoGH ???
If you watch the OVA or a partial of the TV series ... you already know there is alot of death involved ...
A Fleet of 15,000 ships with at least 2 million troops going to battle for both side ... if there is no death then what is it that you expect?

Also, does having a previous subtitled set help?

All kidding aside, though, it's really nice to know we'll be seeing more high quality rips in the future. It's a series I'm definitely keeping an eye on, even as I'm forced to download the others out of desperation.

Here's one humble fan paying respects to the best and greatest anime series ever.
From the timeles theme of war and peace to the huge cast, the grandiose battles, the politics, the detailed characterization, the sense of history being molded by the individuals, and the sense of history repeating itself; the solid dialog, the sheer genius of the most gifted characters; the vast, vaaaast, vaaaaaaaaast scenarios; the interesting and often sharp ideas about government, democracy, loyalty, courage, pacifism, nation-building and character-building; the all-Classical soundtrack, to the thrill of knowing that war makes no exceptions and favorite characters may die any moment, even in the most ignoble way; I have never enjoyed a story so much.
The first movie, with thousands and thousands of ships engaged in gracile and lethal combat at the rythm of Bolero, is my most unforgettable anime memory.
One is also hoping that somebody picks the novels. I read a couple of chapters available a long ago, and the anime is very faithful. I think they would be a hit with science fiction fans.

"To close, I just have one question for you Kail -- how did you set such a perfect avatar pic? I tried to edit my profile to use my standard self-icon (the drawing of me in my LoGH Admiral uniform by Sachiko Kamimura after Anime Expo in the October 99 issue of Animage) but couldn't set the avatar to anything save the standard list..."

I believe the 1st movie is not based on the original novels, can anybody confirm? I read the first chapters of the first novel a long time ago, and AFAI remember, they covered the events in the second movie.
Is Golden Wings based on the novels?

If im remembering the first movie right it is basicly the same as the first cople episodes of the main serries. Where as the second movie covers what happened before the fist episode.

Chuck Wagon Burgers Recipe
5 1
Howdy, pardner! When our son requested a cowboy theme for his birthday party, I planned a Western-style meal including these savory burgers. In the spirit of true chuck wagon fare, I served them on large biscuits rather than buns.

The $270,000 ribbon
Developing the Station District into a thriving hub has been near the top of Warwick's to-do list for some time. Now with the Interlink and rail service in full swing, the city is hopeful that Jefferson Boulevard and the surrounding areas will be transformed from a concrete strip of warehouses and industrial parks into a bustling place for small businesses, residential developments and arts organizations.
A new art project is set to be installed on the southwest side of the Interlink garage, but since it's going to be such a focal piece of the Station District, the decision about what the art should be is not something that should have been done without second thought.
The installation is meant to be a showpiece that sets the tone for the type of city center Warwick is trying to develop. Should it be something historical in nature that gives a nod to the industrial days of yore? Should it be modern and glitzy, Warwick's own Times Square? Or should it be practical yet beautiful, something that welcomes those to the city and the Ocean State with hints of nautical and maritime themes?
What a seven-member panel chose to be the piece de resistance of the Station District is a proposal by Miami team Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquard. The state will dole out $270,000 to the team for their work.
The winning art installation will feature multiple colored ribbons installed vertically down the southwest side of the Interlink parking garage's exterior wall. The ribbons will illuminate at night.
State law mandates that 1 percent of the cost of a public project must be allocated for art, but choosing the appropriate type for the location can be tricky. To some, the installation is a way to add some spice to the otherwise gray, concrete stretch that's commonly called Jefferson Boulevard. The multi-colored, glowing ribbons will be a display piece that injects the area with culture and creativity in an attempt to move it away from the doldrums of large warehouses and industrial parks. We get the point: adding art to a location can instantly raise its appeal, and when you're attempting to revitalize an area, appeal is key.
But others see the proposal as being out of place. The Technicolor ribbons have no significance or meaning to Rhode Island, and have no particular message. Some say they might even detract from the historical mill feeling that the Station District currently possesses.
Mayor Avedisian said he would have rather seen an aquarium take up residence inside the Interlink, but that idea, although considered, was tossed aside. Instead, the Miami pair will bring their $270,000 winning design to the Ocean State. Whether we'll grow to love it or learn to tolerate it remains to be seen.
what a waste of money... not to mention light pollution will increase..... waste of energy
I would have liked to have seen a group of Rhode Island artists win this competition.

First, MadisonMan's syntax makes me see a joke I don't think he intended. "Now that Tampa is out of harm's way, mostly from Isaac..." Didn't he only mean to say "Now that Tampa is mostly out of harm's way from Isaac"? Or did he mean to say that Tampa is still in harm's way? The major harm aimed its way was Isaac, and that's now going elsewhere, but Tampa is nevertheless in the path of the approaching the GOP convention.
But, anyway, let's move on to those people who have thought it was acceptable and funny to joke about God taking aim at the Republican convention. For example, at the Isthmus forum, which I linked to in the Crist thread, a commenter using the pseudonym Henry Vilas said "I wonder if Pat Robinson will claim that God is sending a hurricane to Tampa in order to punish the GOP."
Notice that Vilas is himself thinking of the hurricane as God's punishment, but he dredges up "Robinson"[sic-- it's Robertson] to put the vile observation into the mouth of someone who is not a liberal. But liberals were not refraining from joking about God's wrath aimed at the GOP. Remember that Dana Milbank's column.
Of course, the liberals are only joking about God. God is a joke. Robertson was (presumably) genuinely wondering about the things a God he believes in might do to punish sinful human beings. I don't know which is worse, but if you care about sin — or good and evil — you should give priority to the things you do, not to whether other people are offending God (and how God is assessing and reacting to these various offenses). If a hurricane is coming, that's a serious matter, and real people are in danger. That's not great material for your political jokes, even though it just seems so delicious that a hurricane
And, I know, I'm violating my own principle in saying that you should look to your own sins. So let me slink away and contemplate my own offenses against The Creator.

The history of transportation is the history of America itself. Restless adventurers pushing the boundaries of the new world, business tycoons striving to link together points of trade and families yearning to set down roots in far away, prosperous locales all contributed to the infrastructure supporting train, automobile and boat travel. They ultimately created the lattice work of American transportation. The symbiotic relationship between man and machine can be experienced in these unique New York State museums, devoted to the passion and romance of rail, sea and road.
New York Museum of Transportation
6393 E. River Rd.
West Henrietta, NY 14586
(585) 533-1113
A perfect destination for a trip back in time, the New York Museum of Transportation is open all year round on Sundays only. The museum features a collection of antique fire trucks, trolley cars, ambulances and a steam locomotive. There is also an operating model railroad that will fascinate collectors of miniature trains and delight children. Memorabilia and artifacts tell the story of the local transportation history of Western New York and the individuals who forged its early beginnings. Miniature exhibits crafted by local historian Donovan Shilling, featuring early Victorian cityscapes and an Erie Canal lock as it appeared 150 years ago are a must-see, as is the railway art of local engineer Harold Russell. Don't miss out on the one-hour trolley rides, which feature a bonus, guided tour of the nearby Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, dedicated to preserving the story of the early railroad era of Western New York. The trolley ride transports you to another era at local Midway Station, where you can board an authentic railroad track car and enjoy the scenic splendor of Genesee Valley as it swirls by.
Champlain Valley Transportation Museum & Kid's Station
12 Museum Way
Plattsburgh, NY 12903
(518) 566-7575
The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum was originally founded to tell the story of Lozier Motors, a luxury car manufacturer of high reputation during the Brass Era of automobile manufacturing. The museum slowly broadened its scope to include the fascinating story of land and sea travel in the Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence Seaway, as well as Plattsburgh's extensive transportation history. Built on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base, the museum includes the Bill Gates Diner, a café nestled inside a trolley car which was originally owned and operated by Bill and Dawn Gates, the parents of business mogul Bill Gates, Jr. Within the museum is also the experiential, hands-on Kids' Station, a dedicated children's museum chock-full of interactive environments, extending beyond the scope of transportation history. The Hot Wheels Exhibit is a favorite among the under 12 crowd. Keep an eye on the special event roster for programs including Tractor Day, Family Movie Night and Making Boats when you plan your trip.
The Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum
263 Michigan Ave.
Buffalo, NY 14203
(716) 853-0084
The Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum is housed in a former Mack Truck dealership and showroom. The home to a unique and wide array of antique vehicles, historic memorabilia and Pierce-Arrow artifacts, the jewel in this delightful museum's crown is the Frank Lloyd Wright Filling Station, a one-of-a-kind, fuel filling station designed by the world-renowned architect. The Filling Station was originally slated to be built on a street corner in Buffalo, but construction never took place. In 2002, it was finally built for the first time, as a historical installation for the museum. Wright's genius can now be witnessed within a glass enclosure adjacent to the museum's main hall. The museum's main focus, however, is on the lovingly maintained Pierce-Arrow automobile collection and the stories associated with them. The collection includes the 1919 Pierce-Arrow Intercity Coach and the 1903 Pierce Stanhope.
Medina Railroad Museum
530 West Avenue
Medina, NY 14103
(585) 798-6106
An ode to the rails, the Medina Railroad Museum is one of the largest and most colorful freight depot museums you will find anywhere in the country. Equal parts experiential and informational, the museum houses the most extensive collection of railroad-related artifacts and memorabilia available, but also offers access to a two hour train ride along the magnificent and historic Erie Canal and a whimsical, pajamas-preferred Polar Express Train Ride to Santa's workshop and the magical North Pole from November through December. Always on view is the ever-in-progress construction of the largest, prototypical HO scale, miniature train exhibit currently in existence.
Antique Boat Museum
750 Mary St.
Clayton, NY 13624
(315) 686-4104
Considered by many to be the seminal, fresh water nautical museum in North America, the Antique Boat Museum located in the 1000 Islands on the St. Lawrence River is surrounded by a 4.5 acre waterfront campus, filled with boats representative of multiple eras of this area's development. The Museum boasts an astonishing collection of boats and boating artifacts and features boat rides, shows and educational programs for both children and adults, centering on the history of the St. Lawrence River. Representing the River Lifestyle of long ago is glamorous, 106 foot long houseboat La Duchesse, built in 1903 and available for a once-in-a-lifetime guided tour.

Conrad Smith out for up to six weeks with broken thumb
All Blacks centre Conrad Smith has been ruled out of the third Test against England and is likely to miss the remainder of the Super Rugby season after he broke his thumb in the 28-27 victory over Stuart Lancaster's side in Dunedin on Saturday.
The 32-year-old is likely to be out of rugby for up to six weeks, local media reported, also effectively ruling him out of the remainder of the Wellington Hurricanes season when Super Rugby resumes next week.
The Hurricanes are in playoffs contention but only have two games remaining, while most of the other teams still in the hunt have three matches left in their season. The playoffs start on July 18, with the final scheduled for August 2.
Smith's starting place in the All Blacks for the third test in Hamilton on Saturday is likely to be filled by rookie Malakai Fekitoa with New Zealand having already wrapped up the three-match series 2-0 following their win in Dunedin.
The annual southern hemisphere Rugby Championship tournament involving Argentina, Australia and South Africa begins on August 16.

Would Fusion Flare or Searing Shot be better overall? Would him using a T-room set be worth it for using V-create? v-create asked Nov 24, 2011 by Speed freak how 'bout with a white herb? commented Nov 24, 2011 by Pwnyta Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 0 votes Best answer Okay............. V-Create 180 base power and 95 acc which would make it 100 with Victory star(ability). But it lowers both defenses and speed. Seriously, with groudon sunlight support and choice scarf, this thing WRECKS! The only problem is the stat drops. Best used with choice move sets to maximize potential. Other options Searing shot and fusion flare make great choices instead of V-Create. Searing shot is usually the best option for non-choice sets but Flamethrower is better for doubles and triples. Fusion flare is beaten by flamethrower for the PP. Basically, Searing shot for singles and non-choice sets, V-Create for choice sets, and flamethrower for doubles and triples. answered Nov 25, 2011 by Halcyonic Falcon selected Dec 18, 2012 by Shining Yin After usina V-create, if you defeat your for in a battle, you can swich Victini and bring it back to battle so it's stats will be normal again. I probably used the preposition incorrectly commented May 12, 2013 by Quilava x Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes While, as far as i know, Searing shot hits everyone in the field, making it not so good in a double or triple. Fusion flare has the same pp, power, and accuracy, but without the 30% burn and the multi hit, making it an option. I would actually prefer flamethrower, but between these moves i would choose searing shot as Doubles/triples are not common. Conclusion V-Create might have an awesome Base Power, but the drawbacks are too great for it to be considered a move(unless using it then switching out the next turn). EDIT: V-Create lowers its defenses and speed to 123-219 Base at lv100, so V-create is not worth it. PS. Victini can be considered for a T-Room team, but the lowered defenses will make it vulnerable due to it's 4 weaknesses. answered Nov 24, 2011 by Pwnyta Fusion flare has 100 bp while V-Create has 180 bp. Fusion flare is does NOT have the same power commented Nov 25, 2011 by Halcyonic Falcon i mean same as searing shot... commented Nov 26, 2011 by Pwnyta Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes using a brave victini in trick room makes it all worth while......specially since it lowers your speed just watch out for priority answered Nov 29, 2011 by gio1991 Please log in or register to add a comment.

The iconic Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego has consistently ranked as one of the best hotels in the world, and it also sits on an equally lauded stretch of beach.
Since May 1, the legendary property has taken the Coronado Beach experience to a whole new level with the introduction of the full-service package titled "Del Beach." It won't be long before Del Beach's fringed red beach umbrellas are just as recognizable as the hotel's signature red roof.
Something for EveryoneIn addition to cushioned lounge chairs, half-moon "cabanettes" and plush day beds, Del Beach offers food (such as salads and sandwiches) and full bar service right on the sand. Beach seating options and fare are an additional cost, with full-day lounge chair rentals starting at $18 during high season.
What's more, Del Beach has introduced recreational activities for everyone in the family, including rentals of bikes, surreys, boogie boards, surfboards, stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, as well as an interactive beach playground just for kids. Sand toys, Frisbees, beach balls and sun care products are available for purchase.
Guests can also partake in a variety of classes, from Hatha yoga (seasonal and free for overnight guests) to surfing or paddleboarding (prices range from $90-120 per lesson).
Roast at the DelDel Beach is the first West Coast operation to be managed by the Miami-based Boucher Brothers, a hospitality management company responsible for setting up and overseeing the beach from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
But the beach fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Guests can enjoy "Roast - S'mores on the Beach" under the stars; prices start at $135. The offer includes all of the graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows one can eat, plus beach chairs and expert bonfire tending by the Del's helpful staff of "s'mores technicians." Guests who want to enhance the already sweet experience can add extra ingredients, such as peanut butter cups, Nutella or cinnamon graham crackers (prices start at an additional $10 per person for a selection of five ingredients).
Ever since its opening date in 1888, Coronado Beach has been a mecca for fun and relaxation.
"Even then, vacationers understood that salt water and sea air are inherently healthy, and believed that ocean retreats could restore mind, body and soul — so 19th century travelers gravitated toward oceanside locales," said Christine Donovan, the resort's historian.

SACRAMENTO – Dozens of educators from Sacramento and around the state lobbied lawmakers today against unnecessary legislation that would have eroded their rights during dismissal proceedings. They stressed that current laws are adequate to protect students and teachers – and called on a state agency to probe why Superintendent John Deasy of the Los Angeles Unified School District did not follow the current law in a serious incident at Miramonte Elementary earlier this year that sparked the flawed SB 1530 by Senator Alex Padilla, D-Van Nuys.
After hearing testimony against SB 1530 from United Teachers Los Angeles President Warren Fletcher, CTA Board of Directors member Michael Stone of Orange County and numerous other educators, the Assembly Education Committee failed to get the six votes needed to move the bill out of committee and it died. However, the committee then voted to reconsider the bill at a later date. If no hearing is held by July 6, the bill will die in committee. As of now, no hearing is on the legislative calendar.
"As currently written, SB 1530 solves nothing, places teachers at unfair risk, and diverts attention from the real accountability issues at LAUSD," said Fletcher of UTLA, the union representing the district's educators. In his testimony today, Fletcher cited incidents where Deasy and the LAUSD administration failed to fulfill the legal requirements of current California teacher oversight laws.
CTA President Dean E. Vogel, Fletcher, CTA Board member Stone and numerous educators have signed declarations asking the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to investigate Deasy's handling of teacher misconduct allegations in LAUSD.
Stone said SB 1530 would gut teacher due process rights by removing the accused employee's ability to be heard before a neutral panel and replacing it with an advisory-only hearing before a single administrative law judge. "The school board then would have the authority to accept the judge's decision, or reject it and hold a new hearing where they will determine the outcome," said Stone, a middle school teacher in Capistrano Unified School District in Orange County. "Why should management be given new authority to ignore an administrative law judge? This legislation is political grandstanding that would only hurt the teaching profession."
It was wrong that the bill would remove teachers from the state Commission on Professional Competence when other similar panels that regulate doctors or lawyers have members of those professions, said James Harper, who teaches Advanced Placement government at a high school in the Elk Grove Unified School District.
"The concept that you would not have teacher membership on a panel that reviews professional conduct flies in the face of what's done for every other licensed profession in California," Harper said. "We go into this profession because we care about people, we care about students. Because of that, we don't want teachers in our profession who are not in that mind-set, either."
Senator Padilla had refused to accept CTA amendments to streamline the dismissal process. Linda Ortega, a second-grade teacher in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District in Concord, said, "Our voices must be heard. This attack on due process rights of teachers ignores what current law does. Current law keeps students safe, safeguards the integrity of the teaching profession and protects our rights."
Groups opposing SB 1530 include the California Teachers Association, the California Federation of Teachers, the California School Employees Association, the California Labor Federation, the California Professional Firefighters and the Peace Officers Research Association of California group. CTA members statewide have asked lawmakers for weeks to oppose the faulty bill.
The 325,000-member California Teachers Association is affiliated with the 3.2 million-member National Education Association.
