if the Jets win Sunday I will not mind if you pass me in the JI pick 'em pools!!!!
as multiple past winner of Jets Insider confidence pools and pickem pools....winning again this year as of last week (currently 2nd).....i have been known to give out my 100% gaurantee wins on the jets.....i have NEVER...I REPEAT NEVER...lost on of my 100% gaurantees. keep in mind all of these gaurantees have been jet VICTORIES when we are underdogs or close to it.
Cro has come out and gauranteed the playoffs....
i picked them to win 11 at beginning of year(post Revis)....
this is a must win to stay alive......
the main reason for zero faith in this one is SUCKCHEZ!!! i have said from day one this sissy does not have the mental makeup to play the tough game of NFL football!!! Seattles fierce pass rush will make him look like a little girl as he throws int after int and takes at least 6 sacks as he crouches down to avoid taking the hit!!! its over before it starts.
hawks 27- jets 13.
please draft me a qb in april.
if the Jets win Sunday I will not mind if you pass me in the JI pick 'em pools!!!!
Nice thread.
It absolutely kills me to say this but it probably benefits us in the long run to have the Jets crash and burn starting on Sunday. Another middle of the pack season may not bring about the radical change needed.
The Jets need to get a football GM in there to run this organization..a guy who can evaluate and select talent.
Predicting one of the worst QBs in the league will struggle against one of the best pass defenses? Way to go out on a limb....
I always notice TX complimenting DBAKE on his posts. Is there something going on here?
i take a lot of $hit on here for calling it like it is....can u imagine 3 years ago the grief i got for telling the suckchez lovers their golden boy was never going to amount to hill of beans!! i got banned a year for it!!!!
how bout when i told them jimmy leaonard was a awful pickup....how could i say that about such a "smart" "gritty" "hardnosed" "qb of the defense"!!!
tex just compliments when i go negative....which does and will continue to happen, when their are bums on my team!!!!
Oh please, the J-E-T-S don't have a single chance of losing this game. It'll be a blowout.
After last seasons finale (DEN & MIA) i went back and started deciphering your hidden text via posts. You were really on to something. I also remember the bashing you took during the playoff runs of a few years back.
I commend you on staying the course, and not caving to the Sanchites, and their ProSanchite agenda. You saw the donkey through the mist. This year there can be no denying the Donkey has reared its ugly head again, and has damned this team to the cellar of the AFCEAST.
As for the game, its very winnable if 2 things can happen.
Rex's Defense finally decides to play a complete game of football. We have seen great series from this D, as well as putrid ones. WIlson hasnt come across a Rex Ryan defense hitting on all cylinders, and if Rex can make this happen, Wilson and Skittles will have a tough day of it.
Mark Sanchez can not throw more than 2 int's or 1 pick 6. Either of these, and he will crumble like a fortune cookie dipped in green tea. He has the moxie of a 2nd string HS qb.
i want to continue to have hope...i really do. jets are done without a win on sunday....but everything...and i mean EVERYTHING that kill the jets is coming on sunday.....a tough running back, a fearless qb, a loud crowd....and especially a fierce pass rush....for suckchezs sake...I HOPE WE ARE NOT WEARING OUR WHITE PANTS!!!!!

I had no idea how easy it was to print out our own labels and the money we have saved from printing in-house. Thank you LabelTac.com for providing top quality printers and supplies!
Lake Oswego, OR (PRWEB) December 11, 2012
Manufacturing plants or production facilities require an industrial label printer that will print out quality labels for all types of needs. It is crucial to have a label maker that can be accessed by many departments and usable with different Windows-based compatible software programs. The LabelTac series of printers is compatible with so many different kinds of software that it makes it almost too easy to create professional quality labels. If MS Word, Excel, PhotoShop or OpenOffice suite are not currently one of the programs utilized, printing template software is included with every machine offered through LabelTac.com.
LabelTac 9 Printer, a new product offered through LabelTac.com, is considered a great affordable and easy-to-use printer. The wide format printer is ideally suited for compliance labeling (such as OSHA or ANSI), brand marketing featuring graphics, logos and texts, pallet labeling, inventory control labeling, drum labeling, warning signs and a host of other signage solutions. LabelTac.com also offers labels, ribbons and printing supplies to help any business get started with making labels in-house. A business owner will start to see after a short period of time the money saved by printing labels in house rather than outsourcing and waiting for labels to arrive by mail. A new business owner commented, "I had no idea how easy it was to print out our own labels and the money we have saved from printing in-house. Thank you LabelTac.com for providing top quality printers and supplies!"

Tennis team drops close match to Capital
By Dan Crider, SID Intern
March 13, 2004
BLUFFTON, OHIO - The Bluffton College men's tennis team (1-1) were defeated by Capital University in their home opener on Saturday afternoon. The match came down to the wire with Bluffton falling by the final score of 4-5.
The Beavers were able to win three of the six singles matches, but dropped two of the three doubles matches to come up short by one game. Leading the way for the Beavers was senior Kyle Sprunger (Berne, Ind./ South Adam's) who won his singles match in shutout fashion 6-0, 6-0. Sprunger also teamed up with fellow senior Brad Boyles (Berne, Ind./ South Adam's) to win the #2 doubles match 8-1. Senior Dan Wott (Clyde/ Saint Mary's) kept his #3 singles record unblemished so far this year with a 6-2, 7-5 victory, and sophomore Pete Martin (Berne, Ind./ South Adam's) chipped in with a 6-4, 6-3 victory to round out the Bluffton scoring.
The team will be back into action on Tuesday when they host Baldwin Wallace. The match is scheduled to start at 3 pm.

Two unannounced LG Android smartphones have been found, which look to be bound for Sprint and MetroPCS sometime this year. The devices, the LG Cayenne and LG Motion 4G aren't high-end devices but should be welcomed additions into the carrier's mid-range portfolios.
LG Cayenne
While not pictured, one of the Cayenne's biggest features is that it's rocking a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. You thought those were dead, did you? Think again, as I know plenty of people who still prefer the tactile feel of a physical keyboard, and I for one would like to see more released by manufacturers.
The Cayenne is also said to have a 4 inch WVGA display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, five megapixel camera, and LTE support. The picture also shows what looks to a be a front-facing camera and a notification LED. That said, what looks to be the front-facing camera could end up being a proximity or ambient light sensor, and the possible LED notification light could just be some trickery of light.
The device is said to be running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and while it may look like the device has software keys, we're going to say that these are definitely capacitive buttons. It looks as it the display itself ends in the middle of the @evleaks watermark, and it would be too much unused space to say they are on-screen. Plus, we haven't seen LG launch a device with on-screen buttons yet, so we have our doubts the company would switch it up for this handset. We supposed we'll just have to wait and see until we get the Cayenne in our hands.
LG Motion 4G
The LG Motion 4G MS770 is lacking in even more details than the aforementioned Android device, but there are a few specs it's said to have that we do know. One-upping the Cayenne, the Motion 4G will sport a qHD display of unknown size and a Qualcomm processor of an unknown clock speed. Other than that, you can expect the Motion 4G to have LTE support, 5 megapixel camera, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich when it arrives, which apparently isn't a long time from now.
There's also a possibility that AT&T will possibly pick this handset up, which could be dubbed the LG P870. Again, we'll believe it when we see it.
No, neither of these handsets are going to rock your socks, but the LG Cayenne sounds like a solid mid-range handset and the Motion 4G certainly will find a nice amount of homes for MetroPCS customers.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Terrorists operating out of the Egyptian Sinai fired at least one Grad missile into the southern Israel resort town of Eilat early Thursday morning. The missile landed in a residential neighborhood, but miraculously did not cause any injuries or damage.
Local residents reported hearing three explosions at the time of the attack, but so far security forces have only found the remains of one missile.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the Sinai is increasingly becoming a base for terrorist activity following the takeover of the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamic groups in Egypt.
Last August, a team of terrorists infiltrated southern Israel from the Sinai and killed seven Israelis on the highway just north of Eilat.
The last missile attack on Eilat occurred in August 2010, when Sinai-based terrorists fired five Katyusha missiles at the city.

He was the first big-time football recruit to come out of South High School, and one of the first to emerge from Lake County.
He played for Woody Hayes on the 1968 Ohio State national championship team, and for the last 44 years he has been prowling the sidelines as one of the most accomplished college football coaches in the country.
Today in the Rose Bowl, Randy Hart will be on the sidelines again, doing what he does best.
Coaching football.
Hart, 65, is in his fourth season as the defensive line coach at Stanford, which will play Michigan State in today�s Rose Bowl.
During the course of his coaching career, Hart has been an assistant coach at some of the nation�s top programs and he has worked under some of the biggest names in the sport, including Hayes, Earle Bruce, Don James and Charlie Weis.
Four years ago, he was hired at Stanford by Jim Harbaugh.
Hart has coached for so long, in so many different places, with so many different coaches he�s constantly reminded of the tracks he�s left. Today in the Rose Bowl, for example, he can gaze across the field at Michigan State coach Mark D�Antonio, who from 1983 to 1984 was a graduate assistant on the Ohio State staff on which Hart was the defensive line coach.
That�s not to be confused with two other grad assistants who worked on the staff at Ohio State with Hart in the mid-1980s. Their names are Urban Meyer and Nick Saban.
Perhaps you�ve heard of them.
�It�s been a great run,� Hart said. �Coaching is all I�ve ever wanted to do. I get to work with a bunch of 18 to 24 year olds. I feel like I�m still 24.�
He acts like it, too.
�He�s got more energy than just about anyone out here, and he�s the oldest guy here,� Stanford defensive end Ben Gardner said. �That tells you how much he loves the game and how passionate he is about it.�
His love of the game began in Willoughby, in the mid-1960s, when Hart surfaced as a five-star recruit � though there were no such designations or scouting services then � at South, as a fullback/linebacker.
One of the offensive linemen for South at the time was Frank Platzar, Hart�s brother-in-law and now the athletic director at Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin.
�I blocked for him, and he was twice my size,� Platzar said. �He was also stronger and faster than I was.�
Hart was a must-have recruit for Ohio State, so that led to a visit from Woody Hayes, on Thanksgiving Day, 1965.
�He was in Cleveland for the high school city championship game, and after the game he called me and asked if we minded if he stopped by,� Hart said. �I said, �Sure, come on over.� We had about 20 or 30 people at the house, and they all took off yelling, �Woody�s coming!� �
Wendy Platzar, Frank�s wife and Randy�s sister, remembers the day well.
�One of my cousins ran to our neighbor�s house and told them, �Willie Mays is coming to our house!� � she said.
The visit from Hayes � not Mays � went well, and Hart committed to Ohio State.
�It was really a big deal that a guy from South was going to Ohio State,� said Bob Quirk, who played on Hart�s team at South.
For the Buckeyes, Hart was an offensive lineman on the 1968 national championship team that went 10-0, including a 27-16 win over USC in the Rose Bowl.
�Playing for Woody was the greatest experience of my life,� Hart said. �He was a great people manager. For me he was a coach, a teacher and a mentor. He was always about the academics. Once you got your degree he�d say, �Go get your masters.� When you got that he�d say, �Now go get your Ph.D.� He really cared about his players. That�s why he coached. It wasn�t for the money. He never asked for a raise in 28 years at Ohio State. Some coaches resented that, because they figured if Woody wasn�t asking for a raise, how could they?�
After his playing career, Hart immediately went into coaching. In 1970 and 1971, he was a graduate assistant at Ohio State. In 1972, he was the offensive line coach at the University of Tampa, under Earle Bruce, who later succeeded Hayes at Ohio State.
�Earle was like a father figure to me. To this day I still talk to him regularly,� Hart said.
When Bruce got the head coaching job at Iowa State in 1973, he took Hart with him. From 1977 to 1981, Hart was an assistant at Purdue under head coach Jim Young. Then it was back to Ohio State from 1982 to 1987, where Hart was an assistant under Bruce again.
Then Hart went west, to the University of Washington. From 1988 to 2008 he was the defensive line coach, defensive coordinator and assistant head coach under Don James. In 1991, the Huskies won the national championship, and in his 21 years at Washington, Hart coached 14 first-team All-Pac 10 players, four All-Americans and 11 players selected in the NFL draft, including defensive end Steve Emtman, who was the first overall pick in the 1992 NFL draft.
In 2009, Hart coached for a year at Notre Dame under Weis, and the next year Harbaugh hired him at Stanford.
In his 44 years of coaching Hart has been a member of 26 bowl teams, including nine Rose Bowl appearances. He was named Footballscoop.com�s defensive line coach of the year in 2012, when his Stanford line led the NCAA and set a school record with 57 sacks.
Along the way, he�s also had to adapt to the changes in the culture, habits and personalities of the football players he coaches and helps recruit.
�The kids today are all looking for quick entertainment, the video games and that stuff,� he said. �So to coach them, you have to be constantly entertaining. You can�t grind them anymore. They still are good kids, and they still like to compete. But some of them come here feeling entitled. I tell them there is no BS in the weight room.�
Recruiting and coaching at Stanford, which has higher academic requirements for its athletes than do many schools, also has its challenges.
�It can be hard at times. You�ve really got to dig under the rocks to find guys who can play but also have the academics,� Hart said. �Stanford kids like to be called tough because not many of them are called tough when they come here. They are called smart.�
Another challenge for college coaches is keeping the players focused on college and not the pros.
�So many games are on TV now, and the money thing is always talked about,� Hart said. �There is no major in college that you can get a degree in that, when you come out of school, you�ll make anything close to what the NFL minimum salary is.�
Hart and Linda, his wife of 42 years, have two sons. John is an insurance man in Seattle, and Jay is a policeman in Bellingham, Wash.
His family has been a part of most of Hart�s 44-year football odyssey.
�Families are the victims, as I call them, of a coaching career,� Hart said. �They are the ones who take the hits when you�re constantly moving around the country. Fortunately we spent 21 years in Seattle, when I was at Washington, so it wasn�t quite as bad for us.�
Hart has been an assistant coach for all of his 44 years in the business.
�When you�re younger, you do think about maybe trying to be a head coach,� he said, �but I realized I wouldn�t be a good head coach. Sometimes my people skills slip me.�
Hart prefers the lunch-pail existence and mentality of the under-the-radar assistant coach, and why not? He�s proven to be one of the best in the country.
�He really has a passion, a knack and a talent for it,� sister Wendy Platzar said. �And he has the integrity to do it the right way. He�s taking boys and turning them into men. Whenever I talk to his former players they tell me he taught them a lot, about football and about life. We�re very proud of what he�s done.�
Today, all the Hart relatives in Willoughby will gather around the TV for the Rose Bowl, wearing their Stanford gear, and hoping for the best.
Two thousand miles away, one of the best football players and certainly the best college coach to ever come out of South High will be doing what he does best � coaching football, in the trenches, the same way he�s coached it for nearly half a century.
�I don�t know how much longer I�ll do it,� he said. �I guess until it�s not fun anymore, or until I�m not as good as I used to be.�

CHICAGO – Would you go over the edge to bring awareness to a cause you care about? What if it meant holding onto a rope and lowering yourself down 278 feet on the side of a Chicago building?
Sandra Hensley, of Itasca, did just that on
May 5.
Hensley was one of 67 daredevil participants who were strapped in and then rappelled down 27 floors of the Wit Hotel in Chicago recently during Skyline Plunge! Chicago. The event was sponsored by Respiratory Health Association to raise funds and awareness for local lung disease research and programs.
According to the association, over half of the plunge participants made the long trip down because they have been affected by lung disease. Others were there simply for the thrill of descending down nearly 300 feet as friends and family cheered them on. Plus, what a view!
"Skyline Plunge! Chicago is [the] Respiratory Health Association's most unique event because it is the city's only urban rappel," said Gina Schwieger, Respiratory Health Association's senior director of special events. "It is truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm of our rappellers, so many of whom are participating to support loved ones who have been affected by lung diseases such as asthma ... and lung cancer."
Want to try it out yourself? The Respiratory Health Association will hold another plunge event on Sept. 8.

Not to nit, but:
more beginners decreasing the signal to noise ratio
This isn't quite correct; beginners have the potental to bring the signal-to-noise down, particularly if they don't use resources already available to them (such as Search, Super Search, the FAQs, and other resources). However, beginners that at least try to scan these resources and ask reasonable questions are the ones that help to maintain high signal-to-noise.
PM should continue to strive for the addition of more new perl programmers, as that is one aspect of this community that makes it great.

Resident Asks About Pool Heater
NEW BREMEN — Members of an area swim team packed the New Bremen Village Council chambers during council's meeting to discuss the temperature of the pool.
Donna Schmitmeyer with the New Bremen Swim and Dive Team questioned councilors on the apparent low temperatures of the pool water during the council meeting Tuesday evening.
"I know we can't control the outside temperature, but our biggest question was if we have a heated pool, why aren't we heating it," she asked, noting she had been "told by many people different things." "One big thing we were told was that it was too expensive to heat, and so we were not going to use it."
Schmitmeyer said she brought up the issue to Mayor Jeff Pape who said that it "absolutely should not be an issue." She noted with the leak the pool had in the past, it was expensive and it was difficult to control, but the leak should be fixed and the water temperature should be maintained at a certain level of comfort.
"The biggest thing is just that we thought we weren't going to use the heater because we've been told it was too expensive to use the heater, and we wondered why we had a heated pool if we're not going to use the heater," Schmitmeyer said. "Since then, we've been told it was a mistake and it was supposed to be on and it wasn't turned on. I don't know."
Council President Don Kuck noted after he spoke with Schmitmeyer earlier this month, he went and checked the pool and consulted with Water Treatment Superintendent Greg Dennings.
"The heater out there is set at 80 degrees, it does work, and it has been on," he said, noting the heater is on from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the times the heater is on can be changed. "When I saw the gauge, the water is coming out at 90 degrees, and that's a big area of water ... It depends on the weather, that's the issue."
Pool Manager Molly Burnell noted there is an LCD screen in the pump room that shows the water temperature, which is usually in the 70-degree range.
"That's not saying there may be a cooler spot, but that's the average for the entire pool," Kuck added. "Where Molly takes a reading is accurate to the water flow."
After more discussion, councilors decided on contacting Dennings to move up the start time for the heater for 5 a.m. or 6 a.m., depending on the weather.
"All we can do is try and see what it does and move from there," Councilor John Schwartz said.
Sandy Meyer with the team also presented a list of suggestions relating to the pool to councilors.
The suggestions included adding umbrellas in the grassy area, having the pool open until 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. the Saturday of Bremenfest, updating the check-in/entry system so there aren't as many people at the pool getting in without paying, questioning why the pool closes at 5 p.m. on Sundays and painting the twisty slide. Councilors said they would look into the issues.
The councilors also told the members of the team they are purchasing a new speaker system for the pool.
Also relating to the pool, Burnell gave a list of all the updates at the grounds and a list of what would need work in the near future.
In other business, Kuck also noted the Rotary Sunshine Playground dedication will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Bremenfest Park.
Schwartz stressed the village yard waste facility is for yard waste only.
In other business, councilors
• Approved the use of the Crown Pavilion and liquor permits for the Fireman's Picnic and Bremenfest.
• Voted down the third reading of an ordinance establishing no parking on the north side of Monroe Street between Washington and Water streets. Councilor Dennis Burnell noted council wanted to wait until construction on the former Fireside Pub to be finished before revisiting the issue.
• Passed a resolution to accept and award the bids for the 2012 street resurfacing program.
• Passed the first reading of an ordinance to amend Section 93.5 of the New Bremen Code of Ordinances to exclude properties in the A-1 Agricultural Zone.
The next meeting of the New Bremen Village Council will be at 6:30 p.m. June 26 at the municipal center.

why don't you move out of Sherwood forest and into Nottingham village.
looked on my porch this morning and a weasel was looking at me with a dead chipmunk in it's mouth. wife then saw the weasel sticking it's head out of one of the chipmunk holes this morning.
i've been considering getting rid of the chipmunks since they carry lyme ticks-
but i'm not sure i'm digging a weasel living in the yard.
would consider a trap - but we have a million red and gray squirrels too.
it's always something
(don't say throw water on it)
why don't you move out of Sherwood forest and into Nottingham village.
Get yourself a small box trap, that way you can let the squirrels loose if you catch one by mistake.
Use sardines as bait and it won't attract any thing but meat eaters, weasel, possum, skunks or raccoons.
Can you ask him if he's available early next week and how much he charges by the hour? I've been looking for a lawyer for a couple days now.
are they afraid of chickens?
oh btw - I ahve a weasel problem at work. let me know how you get rid of them...
Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
- Matt Groening "Love is Hell"
throw some peaches at it.
weasels hate peaches.
Get yourself a large mallet. When weasel pops his head out of the squirrel hole: BAM!
Repeat as necessary.

2011-12 Women's Basketball
Transylvania 73, Bluffton 69
Bluffton's 2011-12 campaign comes to end with 73-69 loss to Transy
February 18, 2012
By: Keisha Holtsberry, sports information asssistant
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University women fell to Transylvania University on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012. The Beavers outscored Transy in the second half (43-39) but it was not enough to make up for an 11-0 spurt by the visitors early in the first period. The Beavers fell to 8-17 overall and 6-12 in the HCAC, while Transylvania improved to 13-12 overall and 11-7 in the HCAC. The loss, coupled with Mount St. Joseph's win over Anderson, ended the Beavers' 2011-12 campaign.
At the start of their final contest in Founders Hall, three Bluffton seniors opened the game with a 9-2 run. Seniors Rachel Daman (Defiance/Tinora), Beth Yoder (Marshallville/Smithville) and Brittany Stegmaier (Garfield/Trinity) each hit from downtown during the first three minutes. However, the Pioneers quickly caught up to the Beavers and went ahead by four at the 15:24 mark thanks to an 11-0 jag.
Another three-pointer by Daman at the 13:50 mark pulled the Beavers within one. Over the next three minutes the Pioneers used a 6-0 run to go up 21-14 midway through the period.
At the 5:40 mark Stegmaier again hit from distance, cutting the Pioneers' lead to just five. Transylvania took control of the game over the last five minutes of the frame, extending its lead to 13. Freshman Rachel DeBord (Lebanon) connected on a jumper with 36 seconds left in the half, making the score 37-26 at the break.
The Beavers opened the second half with a 15-4 scoring binge to tie the game at 41. Senior Brittany Lewis (Springfield/Shawnee) put the Beavers up for the first time in the second stanza with 15-foot jumper at the 15:38 mark.
At the 12:09 mark, Stegmaier connected on her fourth three-ball of the night to put the Beavers up by two. Two minutes later freshman Mikayla Coburn (McGuffey/Upper Scioto Valley) got to the rack following a slick pass from Lewis. The Pioneers battled, but the Beavers kept their lead until the 7:16 mark when the Transy tied the game up at 56.
Transylvania opened up a six-point spread with 16 seconds left in the game. Two layups, one by Lewis and one from junior Francena Tate (Fostoria/St. Wendelin), cut the Pioneers' lead to two with three seconds left. The visitors took advantage of two fouls shots for the final 73-69 margin.
The Beavers were led by Lauren Hutton (New Riegel) with 15 points and nine rebounds. Stegamaier and Daman each contributed 12 points for the Beavers. Lewis went out with a career-high eight assists to go along with her seven rebounds.
The Beavers went 25-of 64 (39.1 percent) from the field, while Transylvania hit 20-of-48 (41.7 percent). From behind the arc, the Beavers were 9-of-26 (34.6 percent) compared to the Pioneers 3-of-10 (30.0 percent) shooting from distance. Transylvania won the game at the free throw line, going 30-for-37 (81.1 percent), while the Beavers were 10-of-14 (71.4 percent).
Bluffton bids adieu to an outstanding group of five senior women who will graduate in May: Alicia Amis, Rachel Daman, Brittany Lewis, Brittany Stegmaier and Beth Yoder.

(Syndicated Columnist & Summit Speaker) Some wives don't want their husbands to run for president—Alma Powell (Colin Powell) and Cheri Daniels (Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels). Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry doesn't have that problem.
In an interview with me following a well-received address to the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Perry said, "My wife is a nurse and the daughter of a country doctor. She sees Obamacare with the potential to devastate this country … She basically said, 'Listen, I know you love your job and you're comfortable there, but your country is in trouble and you need to get off the sideline and get in this game, serve your country and do your duty.'
"When someone you've known and been married to for 42-plus years
If Anita Perry is onboard, can her husband be far behind?
The "reluctant" candidate sounds like he's all but in: "Seventy days ago this was not on my radar screen. I was happy and comfortable being governor of the state of Texas, one of the greater economies there is in this country. I will let the record speak for itself on job creation and what we've done."
Perry's job creation record is formidable. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 32,000 new jobs were created in Texas in June, more than in any other state. Proving his policies were not a one-off, between June 2010 and June 2011 Texas added 220,000 new jobs, again more than the other "57 states," as President Obama might say.
Perry sees the momentum that put the House back in Republican control and also narrowed the Senate Democratic majority carrying over into the 2012 election: "I don't see it out of the realm of possibility to pick up another 20 to 30 House seats and a majority of 60 Republican senators and a consistent conservative president to really make a difference."
He doesn't make the connection, but this sounds like a criticism of fellow Texan George W. Bush for not being consistently conservative enough as president when he enjoyed a Republican congressional majority.
Perry is no "Let's all get along" conservative. He wants to make a political difference, mentioning the revival of the 10th Amendment, which guarantees states' rights, as the way to reduce encroaching federal power:
"America is not going to move forward until we remove restrictions of over-taxation, over-regulation and over-litigation on the job creators and free them so the jobs can be created.
"This president is trying to engage in class warfare and shooting high-powered bullets at people who have corporate jets, but the bullets pass through those wealthy people and hit blue-collar workers who rely upon those wealthy individuals who risk the capital to create the jobs."
Supreme Court justices are Perry's preferred way for re-routing the wrong direction he sees the country taking under Obama. As president, he promises to name "strict constructionists" like Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas.
Conservatives are nervous about whether any of the announced GOP candidates can defeat Obama, who continues to slip in the polls (the latest Gallup Poll shows his approval has fallen to 40 percent).
Are they fearful of repeating the Fred Thompson effect? Thompson, the former Tennessee senator, who was a late addition to the 2008 presidential race, never seemed to have the stomach for it, nor did his wife.
Perry tells me, "I wouldn't get in if I didn't have the stomach for it. Running three times for governor of Texas, six times statewide, if I step in, they can bet it will be all-in. There will be plenty of vinegar and whatever else needs to be in the recipe."
In a presidential straw poll conducted at the Western Conservative Summit, Perry came in second to Herman Cain, but since the politically inexperienced Cain won't win the nomination, Perry's finish demonstrates strength among at least some conservatives.
Perry says he'll announce something "by the end of summer." Meteorologically, that's Sept. 23. Politically, it sounds as if he's already decided to run.

We are all citizens of a global community. Trade, telecommunications, migrations, languages, music, politics and scores of other ties link distant places ever more tightly. The 21st Century provides opportunities for those who are prepared for this global arena.
Each of us belongs to several diverse communities whether at work, at school, at home or at leisure. In the decades ahead we will interact with even more people as our society becomes more complex. The range of cultural diversity in American society and the world beyond demands that people in an ever-growing range of careers possess the knowledge, understanding, intercultural sensitivity, and analytical tools to perform effectively.
The Cultural and Global Studies curriculum draws from disciplines across the University to give students the knowledge and the theoretical and methodological skills necessary to understand our complex and rapidly changing world.
The program offers a major and minor intended to equip students with a broad understanding of the contemporary global context and its implications for human experience and action. It will help students gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of at least one culture other than their own, and will also equip students with critical tools in analysis, criticism, and communication that they can use to assess and navigate cultural differences.
Both the major and the minor require students to choose among several certificate programs aimed at providing a study in depth of a particular cultural or global area. The Cultural and Global Studies certificates range from 16-18 credit hours and can also complement other majors across the university.

Career opportunitiesUpon graduation, numerous career opportunities can be enhanced by the cultural and global studies program, including:
The cultural and global studies program also is an excellent preparation for graduate studies in many fields.
The Cultural and Global Studies Paper Award will be given to students through an annual undergraduate paper prize. Students must have a Cultural and Global Studies (CGL) signed major, minor or certificate to apply. Papers must be research-oriented and related to the area of the students' signed CGL certificate, must critically discuss some of the key or central ideas of the field, be at least 2500 words in length, and have a faculty sponsor who is a CGL certificate advisor. The Award is intended to help students gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of at least one culture other than their own, and equip students with critical tools in analysis, criticism, and communication that they can use to assess and navigate cultural differences. Furthermore, it is the hope this knowledge will result in a greater understanding and tolerance of the lifestyles and beliefs of others.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The No. 1 Salisbury University men's lacrosse team capped off the program's seventh undefeated season and 10th National Championship on Sunday by defeating the State University of New York at Cortland in the 2012 NCAA Division III National Championship game, 14-10, at Gillette Stadium.
The team finished the season with a 23-0 record and ends the year riding a 30-game winning streak. Twenty-three wins matches the program record for most in a season and the national title is the 16th team title in Salisbury University history.
"We've had some pretty special teams at Salisbury," Head Coach Jim Berkman said. "I can honestly say that this team is right there with some of those other teams. When we talk about the best teams, this is definitely right there in the same breath."
Senior attackman Sam Bradman became the first Division III men's lacrosse player to win the Most Outstanding Player award in a National Championship game in back-to-back years. Bradman led the Sea Gulls with seven points on six goals and one assist in the game.
"I've loved big competition, big games ever since high school," Bradman said. "Getting into the big games, my intensity goes up, and I just like to give it my all."
Bradman and senior attackmen Matt Cannone and Lantz Carter led Salisbury to victory, completing the championship repeat. Cannone led the team with three assists and netted two goals for five points. Carter chipped in with four points on three goals and one assist.
Bradman put Salisbury on the board first with an unassisted goal just 29 seconds into the game. Two Cortland goals gave the Red Dragons the lead before Carter netted his first score to tie the game, 2-2.
Bradman scored his second with 16 seconds left in the first and the Gulls went into the second quarter tied with Cortland, 3-3.
Goals by Bradman and Cannone to start the second quarter gave Salisbury a 5-3 lead. After Cortland scored two to tie the game, senior midfielder Jeff McGuire and Carter netted scores to regain the two-goal lead. Carter's goal came with two seconds left, and Salisbury took the 7-5 lead into halftime.
The Sea Gull offense came to life in the second quarter to outshoot the Red Dragons 14-7. In the first half, Salisbury outshot Cortland 19-16, won 8-of-13 faceoffs and was successful on 6-of-7 clears.
Salisbury started the second half slowly, as the Red Dragons netted two quick scores in the first five minutes of the third quarter. However, two more goals from Bradman and a man-up score from senior attackman Erik Krum gave the Gulls a 10-9 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Salisbury held the lead despite being outscored 4-3 in the third period.
The Sea Gulls rebounded in the fourth quarter to outscore Cortland 4-1, and solidify the win. Bradman, Cannone, Carter and junior midfielder Ryan Clarke all scored in the quarter.
"We had a great senior class, 18 kids who contributed a great deal over a four-year period," Berkman said. "I'm very fortunate to be able to coach those 18 seniors."
Throughout its time at Salisbury University, the senior class has amassed a record of 81-7, made it to four NCAA tournaments, advanced to three National Championship games and won two National Championships.

Samsung's shown itself to be entirely unafraid when it comes to smartwatches. It's willing to try any size, any spec, any combination of features in an attempt to figure out what consumers want in a wearable. Its latest try, the Gear S, is a combination of Samsung's newest and best ideas - and a couple of ideas it'll soon leave by the roadside as well.
Once the Moto360, the round LG G Watch R, and Apple's supposed entry come out, we will look at these ridiculous Samsung contraptions in the same way we look at these now.
My favourite moment in the video: when the full QWERTY keyboard pops up. Samsung just has no taste.

Over the past decade investors have poured billions into exchange-traded funds that track the price of gold. Now with gold prices falling, many are yanking some of that money back out — a move investing pros say misses the whole point of owning the shiny metal in the first place.
Gold's recent slump — down 4% so far this year — has turned many former gold bulls into bears. In the first two weeks of March, investors pulled $1.6 billion from gold ETFs, according to data compiled by BlackRock, the largest ETF provider. That follows outflows of more than $5.6 billion from the funds in February, the largest monthly outflow ever.
Many of these investors are simply seeking better returns: The decade-long gold rally may have stalled (or be over), but stocks are on a tear. So far this year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has returned 11% and is hovering near an all-time high. "Some people chase momentum," says Russ Koesterich, BlackRock's global chief investment strategist.
But some advisers say that strategy could backfire. For starters, they point out that gold could bounce back if there's a sudden jump in inflation, a flare-up of the European debt crisis (perhaps tied to the Cyprus crisis) or a stock-market correction at home. But more importantly, they say owning gold isn't about buying low and selling high, but about owning an insurance policy for the long term: Investors that aren't willing to swallow losses in good times won't be in a position to reap the offsetting profits gold can deliver during a crisis, says Herb Morgan, chief executive of Efficient Market Advisors, an investment firm that specializes in ETFs. "Nine times out of 10 you should lose money" on gold, he says. "It's like any other form of insurance."
In recent years, however, gold investors have been able to have their cake and eat it, too, in large part because the financial crisis sent investors scrambling to safe havens. The SPDR Gold Shares—the oldest and largest U.S. gold ETF, with $63 billion in assets—posted gains in each of its first eight years on the market, including 2008, when it returned 3% while stocks lost more than a third of their value. An investor who bought $10,000 worth of SPDR Gold Shares in late 2004, when it first appeared, would have a stake worth nearly $34,800 today. In contrast, an investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to just $15,200.
It wasn't necessarily supposed to be this way. Investing in gold was once the province of speculators and conspiracy theorists, but gold ETFs came with a seductive sales pitch that broadened the customer base. Fund marketers pointed to academic studies showing that a small amount of commodities like gold can smooth returns of a stock-and-bond portfolio over time. "It's the ultimate diversifier," says Jason Toussaint, managing director at the World Gold Council, the gold industry trade group behind SPDR Gold Shares.
And this year's gold slump shouldn't alter that thesis, say advisers. After all, an investor who owned a small amount of gold alongside a larger portfolio of stocks would still see overall returns smoothed, just as advertised. But it remains to be seen whether investors will stick around when gold provides a drag, rather than a boost, to performance. "It's easier to buy into the story when you see an asset go up every year," says BlackRock's Koesterich.

Research Spotlight: White House Chiefs of Staff: Make or Break the Presidency?
Professor Dave Cohen has been studying White House organization and staffing, and the White House chief of staff position in particular, since his doctoral student days at the University of South Carolina. He is driven by the question: what makes some chiefs of staff successful while others fail? The implications of the question are great: successful chiefs of staff have a positive influence on a president and his administration; those that fail, harm the president and the administration they serve.
As part of his dissertation project, and later as part of the Chief of Staff Project, Cohen has created a unique database by surveying former White House and administration personnel from the Reagan through Clinton administrations about their experiences in the executive branch and their observations of the performance of the president and chief of staff. This dataset has provided the basis for several published articles about the office. As part of a book project about the chief of staff, Cohen has made several trips to Washington and the White House to interview current and former staffers including chiefs and deputy chiefs from the Clinton and Bush 43 years. The project is ongoing and Cohen looks forward to interviewing members of the Obama administration and previous administrations as work on the book continues.

The owner of some collector's edition bottles of whisky was recently charged for illegal possession and careless driving on Interstate 59 in Clarke County by a state trooper.
He pleaded guilty to careless driving, but the possession charge was dropped in justice court. Now he wants the whisky back and has a signed affidavit from a judge.
But Clarke County is dry.
"The situation that I'm faced with, that I'd be in violation of the prohibition law of Clarke County, Mississippi, if I release any evidence or illegal whisky, beer, drugs, or anything else, to anybody," said Sheriff Todd Kemp.
Justice Court Judge Tobey Bartee presided over the case Tuesday morning and signed an affidavit that was brought to him, he said, after the sheriff declined to release the whisky.
"I signed the warrant which was served and at this point that's what led us to where we are right now," said Judge Bartee. "As for making comments on the case I'd rather not because I feel personally that it's all a political campaign that didn't have to come to this point."
But Kemp, who was joined by several dozen supporters at the Clarke County Courthouse, said he sees the law as cut-and-dried. Plus Kemp said it could set a precedent for other cases involving confiscation of illegal items, if the cases are dismissed in a plea bargain or for other reasons.
Apparently, the law does not specifically address the transport of even sealed liquor from a wet county into or through a dry county. Kemp requested a hearing before another judge, but that hearing was not immediately scheduled.

Nothing can be done to prevent earthquakes from occurring, and researchers are limited in forecasting when and where they will strike and how strong they might be. Fortunately, a great deal of progress is being made to ensure that buildings throughout Europe are designed and built to withstand major earthquakes when they strike.
A critical element of ongoing efforts to make our society safer against earthquakes is the European Union (EU)-funded SHARE project, or Seismic Hazard Harmonisation in Europe. This first-of-its-kind initiative aimed to develop a common methodology, tools and models to evaluate earthquake hazard in Europe. The project will also provide a harmonised input for the implementation of the European unified building code (EuroCode 8) that factors in the probability of an earthquake hitting anywhere in Europe.
EuroCode 8 is the EU standard that determines how buildings and other structures must be built in order to make them resistant to earthquakes. Eurocode 8 is being implemented to guide architects and engineers in designing buildings for a common level of earthquake risk.
The goal is for standard buildings to be designed and constructed in such a way that they could survive the strongest earthquake expected to strike at any given location in Europe within a 500-year period. In addition to new constructions, efforts are also being made to retrofit existing buildings to be more resistant to earthquakes.
"The final goal of the SHARE project is to ensure that we build safer houses and cities in Europe," said SHARE coordinator Domenico Giardini of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
The fundamental concept of SHARE, Giardini said, is to assess the seismic hazard in a unified, harmonised manner, so that buildings across Europe are designed, constructed and protected in a consistent way. Buildings in higher-risk earthquake countries such as Greece and Turkey have to be built stronger than those in lower-risk countries like Germany and the UK. "The way we define 'strong' has to be different," Giardini said, "but there needs to be consistency in how we design buildings in order to withstand earthquakes."
SHARE's researchers established this common level of risk by combining the location and strength of past earthquakes, the damage caused by earthquakes throughout Europe and the surrounding region, including parts of western Asia and northern Africa, the geological setting and active faults as well as the style and rate of deformation of the Earth's crust measured by GPS. By funneling all of this information into one system, the SHARE team developed what is known as a "probabilistic seismic hazard assessment" or PSHA, which takes the best available knowledge to form the baseline for informed decision-making regarding building codes and insurance coverage.
"We have taken the inherited knowledge from the national, regional and local levels and strived to harmonise data across the entire Europe," Giardini said. "Our work is the end result of science and engineering efforts carried out over many decades," he added.
The SHARE partners included 18 universities, institutes and other research partners from 13 European countries and had a budget of €4.1 million, of which the EU contributed €3.2 million. In total, over three hundred experts from various fields collaborated to develop the SHARE model.

Pacu Jawi Bull Run, near Padang Sumatra Indonesia, yesterday.1Dx 200-400f/4, shot @ 200mm f/8, 1/800th ISO 1000Incredible day.
Stunning images Edward! The speed, sound, splash, mud and excitement can really be felt. Poor Chinese though. But I suppose, when you provoke the bulls with a Nikon rig, you only have yourself to blame ...
However, given how I sometimes worry about my gear, shooting with expensive stuff like 1Dx & 200-400f/4, D4 & 800f/5.6... in Sumatran mud and water, with bulls running around... must be an adrenaline sport on its own
Superb ! I love the subtle colours you're getting.
Quote from: gary samples on March 08, 2014, 10:33:32 PM BULL RACING you have to love it. wonderful shot !Thanks Gary, it was different that's for sure, getting in the final few frames and getting out of the way quickly was the order of the day.A Chinese Photographer miss timed it, his D4 + 800f/5.6 Lens went under the hooves, fortunately the Photographer was only bruised, his gear was a write off, what didn't get flattened ended up in a foot of mud & water, I guess the Bulls didn't like Nikons.The attached Portrait was the days winner, he more than any of the others ran the bulls right to the end, when I spoke to him later he laughed and said his whole day was about seeing which Photographer would run last, he thought it was funny that the locals had more sense, they ran first.
BULL RACING you have to love it. wonderful shot !
Excellent pictures Edward!
Great pictures EML. But one thing I do not understand. The guy who had crushed D4 and 800mm was so close to the bulls, and could fit even two huge animals in the camera viewfinder, or he attempted a portrait "head and shoulders" of the animal and did not realize the actual distance? Should he have used a 1200mm?

Should he have used a 1200mm?Hi ajfotofilmagem, with my 200-400, I was set at 400 when they started the run, to get them full frame at this Point you needed a 600-800 (I tried 560 f/5.6 but it was taking too long to flip out the 1.4x so I stuck with 400 back to 200), waited until they filled the frame at the half way point then started to zoom back to 200, most of my Images were taken at 300-200 as this allowed most of the background to disappear among the flying mud ( a load of people & tents in the background), of course at that point the Bulls are 3 seconds from you. The Chinese chap was with a small group behind us on a slight muddy rise that should have been safer & mostly was. Because the animals often took a while to get into the wooden harness,so unfortunately they released 2 & even 3 "runners" at the same time or quite close, that meant you pretty well had to do a runner immediately because with 6 Bulls coming down the patch at one time, your feet in a foot of the mud made escape a priority decision made sooner rather than later.The Chinese chap just wrong footed himself, he ran Ok, but ran into a deeper muddy patch to one side where he was steamrollered by a Nikon hating Black Bull. He had a Nikon 200-400 & a D800 as a back up set up and was using the 800f/5.6 to get long shots of the riders from the start. The damage to his rig was mostly where the D4 Body parted company with the 800, the Tripod was fine, albeit a bit muddy, but the Body was missing the Lens Flange so a done deal, the 800 was slightly bent in the middle so you could possibly have saved it & shot around corners.Within 10 minutes the guy was set back up & shooting, they make them tough in China.The event is arranged once a year at the village level, there's not a lot of organisation that goes into the event, but the locals are very careful to try and reduce accidents, the nearest Hospital is at Padang a 2 hour drive away. This year apparently had the least amount of Photographers willing to set up at the end of the bull Run, and there was only the one semi casualty, last year they had to get a Malaysian Photographer to Hospital, and another Malaysian Photographer won the Sony World Photography award 2013 with an Image shot at this event in 2012 (Chen Wei Seng).
I think the prize winning photo you refer to is the one above. Now better understand the combination of factors that led to the accident. I thought about how it was dangerous for the "runners", but now I think it is even more dangerous to unsuspecting photographers. It is ironic that poisonous snakes and lions kill fewer photographers that hippos "cute". Should I put the bulls on my list of danger from now.

Do you bake by feel or recipe?
Just the other day i was watching a video of a baker making bread.
He mentioned that due to the differences in temperature, humidity, flour absorption etc, the same recipe will give you different 'true' hydration every time you bake.
That is why he no longer measures anything, and instead adds water till the exact consistency he desires and proceeds from there.
Personally, at this point, i still prefer to scale everything, but which method do you guys do?
I'm not trying to start a discussion on which method is better, just curious how many people get to that stage.

PLANNING to work until you reach 100? Professor Emeritus Henry Atkinson says it might just be a good way to prolong your life.
Despite turning 100 today, the former surgeon, academic and historian continues to work one day a week at Melbourne University's dental museum. His employment there as an honorary curator is a two-way deal. The university gets the benefit of his rare, encyclopaedic knowledge of old dental instruments, while he enjoys cataloguing them to share with students and others.
''I'm always learning,'' says the British expat who served as a facial surgeon in World War II before moving to Australia in 1953. ''The beauty of being an academic is that, every year, you get new students moving up from one year to the next. They've always got new ideas, so it doesn't give you much time to get old.''
While Professor Atkinson is likely to be the only 100-year-old worker in Australia, experts say he is part of a trend towards more elderly people working into old age. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 102,000 people were working in their 70s, 80s or 90s last year, up from 59,000 a decade earlier.
With the number of 100-year-olds expected to soar from about 2800 now to 78,000 by 2050, professor of ageing at Monash University Colette Browning said Australians should expect to see more people like Professor Atkinson in their workplace.
''I think as a society we need to realise that older people have a lot of expertise and wisdom that is very valuable. A lot of people make assumptions that everything is down hill from about the age of 60, when that's not the case. Many people will age well and want to contribute to society like this man is.''
While most Australians retire in their 60s, Professor Browning said continuing to work in some capacity may help people age well, too. Although genetic factors and lifestyle choices were the greatest predictors of a long and healthy life, she said using your mind and staying social were likely to play a role.
''We know that people who keep their brains active have the potential to age better, but there is also the psychological aspect of feeling like you're needed in the workforce and that you have something to give.''
Professor Atkinson, or ''Atki'', as he is known, said he thought a number of things had contributed to his longevity: playing soccer in his youth and not AFL, ''which is too rough'', growing his own vegetables, keeping a wide range of interests, and remaining socially and intellectually stimulated. ''There's an old saying that if you don't use it, you lose it, and I think that's very true, particularly in relation to your brain power.''
In recent weeks, he has had some interesting reactions to his age, including a bank worker who burst out laughing when she discovered his birth date, but he said he had no plans to retire from the museum, which was named after him in 2006.
''It's been a tremendous amount of fun,'' he told his colleagues at an early birthday party last week.

Baseball slugger Barry Bonds will serve 30 days in house arrest for his obstruction of justice conviction back in April.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
"Bonds sat stoically as U.S. District Judge Susan Illston told baseball's home run king that he had avoided prison but must spend one month in his two-acre Beverly Hills estate, two years on probation, serve 250 hours of community service and pay a $4,000 fine.
"Today's sentencing ends an 8-year battle with Bonds, baseball's home run record holder."
Bonds was tried on three counts of lying to a grand jury in 2003 during an investigation into his use of steroids and human growth hormone. The jury convicted him on one count of obstruction and deadlocked on the other charges.
Bonds could have received a sentence of up to 21 months in prison. Bonds has 14 days to appeal his conviction.

March 17, 2010 > "May I Be Frank"
Independent documentary screening
The Essanay Silent Film Museum/Edison Theater will be the screening of a film by remarkable young men whose mission to help someone in need led them to the production of their first film. The film was the official selection of the Sausalito Film Festival 2009 and will be entered in future film festivals around the country.It is an amazing story of the transformation of one man's life - from a life of addiction, depression, obesity, ill health, and pain to reclaiming his life again. "May I Be Frank" is about Frank Ferrante, a 54 year old Sicilian from Brooklyn living in San Francisco. A lover of life, great food, beautiful women and a good laugh, Frank is also a drug addict, morbidly obese, pre-diabetic, and fighting Hepatitis C. He's estranged from his daughter, single, and struggling with depression. Frank knows that life can be better than this and is looking for a way out."May I Be Frank" documents the transformation of Frank Ferrante's life. He unknowingly stumbles into a local restaurant in San Francisco, Cafe Gratitude, a raw, organic and vegan cafe. As he becomes friends with the staff, he keeps returning to the cafe where he feels welcome and free from his collapsing personal life. On one such visit, Frank is asked by Ryland, one of the servers, "What is one thing you want to do before you die?" Frank replies "I want to fall in love one more time, but no one will love me looking the way I do."Inspired by the possibility of helping Frank, Ryland invites him to come into the cafe every day for the next month. Armed with a camera and a wide open heart, Ryland soon enrolls his brother Cary, and Conor, his best friend, to participate in supporting Frank's transformation.The final agreement is made that for the next 42 days, Frank will turn his life over to three twenty-something young men committed to his healing and prepared to coach him physically, emotionally and spiritually. Frank will eat only raw food, practice gratitude, visit local holistic practitioners, and get a weekly colonic. Ryland, Conor, and Cary support and witness Frank's miraculous transformation. Frank gets a new body, a clearer mind, and most importantly, a soaring spirit.Over those 42 days, the four men go on the ride of their lives. Setting out to help Frank lose weight and get healthy, no one anticipated the profound impact this journey would have on the lives of countless others. Through Frank's story of love, redemption, and transformation, viewers witness the power of change for themselves and the world. "May I Be Frank" documents the essence of the human condition and what it truly means to fall in love again.My involvement in wanting to bring Frank's story to the Fremont/Tri-City community, or the Fremont connection, came from the fact that my daughter, Bettina de Sousa (born and raised in Fremont), manages a Cafe Gratitude in Healdsburg and knows the producers, who are also in the management of the restaurants. We attended a screening of the film at the Lucas Studios in San Rafael in December and were so touched by the film's message and the transformation of Frank (who together with the producers will be present for a "Q & A" following the screening), that we wanted to do whatever we could to bring Frank's story to our community.Following the film and the Q & A, there will be a very special Farmer's Market Dinner at the Essanay Cafe down the street at approximately 6:30 p.m.Reservations should be made for one or both parts of the event, as space is limited. Movie tickets will be available at the door, if there is space available.

I have said it time and again that I am always surprised when a new season begins or a holiday is looming. When I saw the first signs posted for the Davidson County Agricultural Fair, it registered in my brain but didn't make much of an impression. So I'm sitting at work, when all of a sudden I am reminded that the fair starts — Monday. What happened?
I have said it time and again that I am always surprised when a new season begins or a holiday is looming. When I saw the first signs posted for the Davidson County Agricultural Fair, it registered in my brain but didn't make much of an impression. So I'm sitting at work, when all of a sudden I am reminded that the fair starts — Monday. What happened?
It can't possibly be so soon! I haven't saved up. My sugar levels are not ready for the endurance run it is preparing to take. How did I let something like this sneak up on me?
I'm sure some people are saying, "What's the big deal? It's just the fair." If you have children, you should understand. For me it is like preparing for a battle and not something you approach casually. Because if you don't prepare you will find yourself dirty, broke and suffering from indigestion, chained to a hyped-up, overtired child who has gone into full-blown hysterics when you tell them it is time to leave.
The secret is to have everything planned out ahead of time. Rule number one, eat as much as you can before you leave the house. Many people skip dinner and go directly to the fair after work. Although there are many options and some fairly decent prices, you won't find a place to sit unless you get as close as you can to another diner and stand directly beside them with a look of pitifulness that will hopefully spur them to finish eating and give you their seat.
Even if you do find a seat, the food is not very filling, and pretty soon you find yourself eating some fudge, roasted corn or an elephant ear. And you can't come to the fair without having some cotton candy or candied apple. All the walking around makes you thirsty, so you can wash it down with a sugary soda or a sugary lemonade. Diet is not only a four-letter word in this place, it is totally nonexistent.
A word of caution here: Obviously do your rides before you ever attempt to eat or you will have another disgusting issue with which to deal.
Rule number two: Have a set time of departure. Many people seem unconcerned with the fact that the fair takes place during the weeknights, but many of us have small children who have to attend school the next day. Luckily many of the teachers recognize this fact and hold off on the homework during this week and give us parents a bit of a reprieve. But this doesn't change the fact that you still have to pry them out of the bed in the morning and send them to school. We try to time it so that we are on the highway about the same time that the fireworks start. Not only are we beating much of the traffic and taking the children home at a decent hour, but we also have a great view.
Rule number three: Have a set budget. I have seen people spend over $100 at the fair without blinking an eye. Maybe it is my self-proclaimed stinginess or my disbelief that someone would actually continue to pay those rigged games, but that seems a bit excessive to me. But then again, I have never been one for playing games. My better half though loves them. He looks forward to the games more than the rides and the food (WHAT?). So to satisfy his urge for high-risk gaming and to pacify my need to pinch every penny, we set aside a set amount for him and each of the children. Then I go check out the exhibits until my daughter appears carrying yet another stuffed animal.
But the most important rule is knowing which night to obtain the wrist bands to get the best bang for your buck. This year they are selling them Monday and Wednesday for $15 and Tuesday and Thursday (with two cans of food) for $10. Of course if you have a real young child or you don't care for the rides, then buying individual tickets might be the best option. Either way, this is the biggest expense you will have at the fair.
So maybe I'm being a "Debbie Downer," but someone has to steer the ship. The rest of you people are hopped up on funnel cakes and dizzy from The Scrambler. But most importantly, you can have fun at the fair and still have the money to pay your mortgage for the month.
