Looking back, when I was first exposed to our industry as a climber and foreman in the late 1950s, it was an industry that had little or no training. The industry also lacked mechanization except the introduction of the one-man chain saw, which was so heavy that calling it one-man was a real stretch.
There was no question, we were tree trimmers — not line-clearance workers, not vegetation management specialists. The days of telephone trimming were just ending with the telephone companies going into a reactive-trimming mode, and the electric companies moving in a preventative mode.
I moved to New England where the first bucket trucks had been in use since the early 1950s. We used Sky-Worker lifts until we started to manufacture our own lifts, which revolutionized the work of roadside crews. The utility inspectors in charge of the crews generally were linemen who, for one reason or another, had moved into overseeing the tree crews. Town lines determined what was to be trimmed and almost all the work done in the United States, certainly in New England, was contracted by time and material, or hourly rate work.
Generally, most contractors were very small and most did some private work in one form or another. Large regional companies began to develop around the country. However, even with these larger companies, it seemed that every day we went out and trimmed trees based on bare-minimum specifications that varied from "whatever you could get" to "keep the lines cleared."
Then a strange thing happened. In the 1960s, the environmental movement began and focused not only on hazardous material or clean water, but also on the visuals involved with plant growth and re-growth. There was a movement afoot that the utility companies needed to upgrade their tree-trimming practices. This was the beginning of professional foresters, not only foresters that were trained academically, but also foresters or utility managers who focused on vegetation management problems. We began to see widespread use of ground-applied herbicides, mostly 24D and 245T. Aerial applications were still in their infancy and results varied.
The 1970s and 1980s saw the growing sophistication of the small chain saw, hydraulic stick saws, bucket trucks and the chipper. With herbicides, new chemicals and driftless materials were introduced and there was pressure to move away from aerial application. Contractors also progressed by acquiring modern equipment and materials to adhere to the utilities' more centralized programs.
Utility forestry managers began to bring administration to the line-clearance industry. Standards were developed for circuit trimming, area trimming and grid trimming, and for the first time, productivity was evaluated. Ancillary businesses developed in the consulting arena and centralized forestry managers began to add district and division managers to their systems. They began to look for contractors who had never worked in their area before.
This progressed into the 1990s when the utilities began to manage their crews more judiciously, and specifications became very detailed and voluminous. Utility forestry departments became large and worked proactively to serve governmental agencies, the individual customer, the contractor and other employees within that utility.
Then came the threat of deregulation: Money was king. Cost per mile of maintaining a line became a driving force. Cost per tree became a standard, and lump-sum pricing was commonplace. Utility companies throughout the United States moved quickly towards a market price for their vegetation management programs. Although computer technology affected line-clearance management in subtle forms (including easier payroll, more effective cost evaluation and electronic billing), its net effect on the cost of trimming trees was minor.
As deregulation became a reality in some cases, and the threat of reality in others, the natural next steps were taken. Utilities knew they had to be "best in class" to be competitive in the market. They followed the lessons of the finest companies in the world. General Electric and many other great corporations were used as models. Utilities realized that the market price did not always mean the right price because market price did not always mean better reliability.
In the last five or six years, there has been a strong movement toward benchmarking and using only "world class" contractors who are willing to focus on the individual needs of the utility. Utilities sought out suppliers who would be willing to risk something along with their customers.
Today, many contractors now are required to take on the responsibility that the utility company traditionally had provided in terms of supervision through district and division forester support. Utilities now want their vegetation management departments to audit, evaluate and motivate their contractors to provide the level of reliability their customers demand.
For the first time, this did not necessarily mean throwing more money at the vegetation management budget. All contractors now have to look very carefully at the specifications to see if they can provide what is being asked of them, and whether the line-clearance market is one in which they can maintain profitability. As a result, there has been a shakeout in the number of contractors providing utility vegetation management in the United States.
Where does this all lead us, and where will the vegetation management industry be 10 years from now? I believe the events of the energy shortage in California and the Enron collapse have put deregulation on a serious hold. Regardless of this fact, I believe the vegetation management programs will continue to be a focal point of every utility company in the United States. Providing reliable service is a requirement, not an option, for utility companies in this country. I also believe most utility companies now find that just throwing money at the vegetation management program will not necessarily provide better reliability. Our industry is at a point where best practices are developed through the collaboration of contractors and clients, and they must reflect the most acceptable methods for providing this reliability within a region.
Because of the judicious practices utilities have used regarding herbicides, it is my belief that the use of herbicides will increase not decrease. Unfortunately, I feel vegetation management will remain a labor-intensive industry. I do not believe there is a magical method or piece of equipment that will dramatically change how this work is done in the next 10 years. The mechanical trimmers and large mowing machines available today will increase in use and better "backyard" equipment will become more readily available. However, I do not think that these innovations will have a major effect on the cost of managing vegetation along utility lines. Fortunately, I believe vegetation management will stay at a high professional level simply because it is such a large expense for the utility that they must interface with the best people available.
Our dependence on energy, and particularly on cheap energy, will not change. We soon may be at the point where automobiles will depend on the reliability of electricity. The humble tree trimmer may be the person we all depend on to make sure our car gets refueled/recharged when and where we want it to be.
The quality of vegetation management work will be maintained at a high level because of the public's awareness of tree value, and production will continue to be a major issue. I see production incentives as a common practice and not as an occasional use.
The focus will be more intense on finding "best in class" contractors, particularly in regards to safety, because the utility's reputation may be at stake depending on the quality of the contractor it uses. I see a very active and professional industry for the near future, particularly for those who can perform in a world of many demands.
Christopher B. Asplundh, CEO and chairman of the board of the Asplundh Tree Expert Co., has almost 40 years of field and management experience in the utility line-clearance industry. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps and earned a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Pennsylvania before joining the company full-time in 1963. Asplundh gained field experience with operations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New England before being elected a vice president in 1967. From 1992 through 2000, he served as company president and sponsor for up to 12 field management regions, plus the safety department. Asplundh is a second-generation family member of the 74-year-old family-owned and managed company, which now has more than 26,000 employees in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and has diversified into 15 subsidiaries and special services divisions.

After seven weeks of excavation we can look back to a very successful season in the cemetery at Amara West. In total, the two field school members (Åshild Vagene and Mohamed Saad), Laurel Engbring, Milena Grybowska and I were able to excavate and document 11 graves.
All of them proved to be complex features with one or two burial chambers used for the interment of several individuals – up to 15 in the case of G314. But even though the general outline of the graves appears similar, they differ from each other considerably in terms of size, shape and orientation. The results of this season confirm our picture of a mixed culture combining elements of Nubian and Egyptian funerary customs.
G309, the newly discovered pyramid tomb, attests to the wealth of some individuals living at Amara West. The use of a pyramid superstructure, the decorated coffin and a copper alloy mirror, only discovered on the very last day of the season, show that the people buried in this grave chose to be buried surrounded by recognisably Pharaonic objects and architecture. However, this does not prove they were Egyptians – they could also have been acculturated Nubians, or descendants of intermarriage between Egyptians and Nubians.
The discovery of an Early or Middle Kerma tumulus, dug by Åshild and Mohamed, shows that the area of Amara West had already been occupied long before the establishment of the Egyptian town. Even though the site of settlement changed, the inhabitants of the Pharaonic settlement chose to use the same burial grounds, which would have been demarcated by the prominent Kerma tumuli back then just as they are today. Was the cemetery placed here, over a Kerma burial ground, to underline Egyptian domination of the area perhaps?
The preservation of organic remains allows for more refined insights into funerary customs during the New Kingdom and post-New Kingdom period. As an example, we can differentiate different types of funerary containers such as coffins, different mats, textiles and burial beds.
The coming months will see work on the large amount of drawings, notes and context sheets, while the human remains excavated this season are already on their way to London where I will again spend a few months studying them. This time I will be joined by Åshild and Mohamed for two weeks as part of the field school project.
Many thanks to the excavators, workmen and everyone else who helped make 2012 a very successful season.

Let's get immigration reform right
WASHINGTON Immigration reform is coming. Let's get it right. What counts as getting it wrong? The 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Act, signed by President Reagan. It granted amnesty to the then 3 million illegal immigrants and promised border enforcement.
Amnesty came. Enforcement never did. Reagan was swindled.
Americans are a generous people. They don't want 11 million souls living in fear among them. They would willingly, indeed overwhelmingly, support amnesty – as long as it is the last. They don't want another Simpson-Mazzoli, another bait-and-switch that lets in another 11 million illegal immigrants – and brings us back where we began.
There is an obvious solution: enforcement first. Hence the attraction of the bipartisan Senate deal reached by the Gang of Eight, led by Democrat Chuck Schumer and Republicans John McCain and Marco Rubio. It is said to feature border enforcement first, then legalization.
Not quite.
It is true that only after some commission deems the border under control do illegal immigrants become eligible for green cards and, ultimately, citizenship.
But this is misleading because on the day the president signs the reform – long before enforcement even begins – the 11 million are immediately subject to instant legalization.
It is cleverly called "probationary" legal status. But the adjective is meaningless. It grants the right to live and work here openly. Once granted, it will never be revoked. Consider:
Imagine that the border-control commission reports at some point that the border is not yet secure. Do you think for a moment that the 11 million will have their "probationary" legalization revoked? These are people who, in good faith, would have come out of the shadows, registered with the feds and disclosed their domicile and place of work. Do you think the authorities will have them fired, arrested and deported?
Inconceivable. "Probationary" in this context means, in reality, "forever." (Unless, of course, you commit some crime.) It means they can stay and work here freely for the rest of their lives.
True, they must await the "enforcement trigger" before they can apply for green cards. But they already have the functional equivalent of a green card. They got that on Day One. That matters more than anything to those living here illegally: the right to continue living here without fear. Forever. That's the very essence of amnesty.
And all this happens before the first scintilla of extra enforcement takes place. Which brings us to the second problem. What does this extra enforcement consist of?
When I heard McCain talk about (among other measures) new high-tech border control with advanced radar and drones, my heart sank. We've been here. In 2006, Congress threw a ton of money at a high-tech fence. Five years, $1 billion and a pathetic 53 (out of 2,000) miles later, Janet Napolitano canceled the program as a complete failure.
That was predictable. And some of us predicting it were pleading for something infinitely cheaper and simpler: a prosaic, low-tech fence. Of the kind built near San Diego (triple-layered) that resulted in an astounding 92 percent drop in apprehensions. Like the Israeli fence built along the West Bank that has reduced terrorist infiltration to practically zero.
There's a reason people have been building fences for, oh, 5,000 years. They work.
The current Senate proposal must be improved, either in the Senate or by the House. It's not complicated. Build the damn fence. And give "probationary legal status" to the 11 million – not on the day the bill is signed but on the day the fence is completed.
Have the president drive in the golden fence post at Promontory Point II and sign the amnesty right there. Great photo op.
With the sequencing – and thus the incentives – so properly aligned, I assure you the fence will go up with amazing alacrity. As it should. The point is not to punish anyone or to make things harder, but to ensure we don't have to do this again – agonizing over the next 11 million cruelly living here in the shadows.
I know many Republicans are coming over to immigration reform because of the 2012 election results. Fine. I've been advocating this for seven years ("First a wall – then amnesty," April 7, 2006). Welcome aboard.
But remember: Enforcement followed by legalization is not just the political thing to do. It is the right thing to do – an act both of national generosity and national interest. It has long been the best answer to the immigration conundrum. It remains so.

The search giant offers a hazy view at how consumers are interacting on Google+.
By nearly any account, the growth of Google Inc.'s Google+ has been impressive. The fledgling social network, which launched in June as an invitation-only site and didn't open up to all consumers until late September, already has 90 million users, Google CEO Larry Page told analysts yesterday when discussing the search giant's fourth quarter financial results.
That pales in comparison to Facebook, which has 800 million active users—that is consumers who have logged on to the social network within the past month. But it represents substantial growth from the 40 million Google+ users the search giant said it had at the end of the third quarter.
Google has never publicly noted how many of its users are actively using the social network. And its spokespeople decline to comment on Google+ users' engagement rate.
However, Page yesterday offered up a nugget aimed at those seeking to hear about Google+ engagement. "Engagement on Google+ is also growing tremendously," he said. "I have some amazing data to share there for the first time: Google+ users are very engaged with our products—over 60% of them engage daily and over 80% weekly."
Yet, that tells only a portion of the story. A user who has both a Google+ and Gmail account, but who has used only his Gmail account in the past few months, is counted in that tally.
That's because Google views Google+ as a sort of social operating system that it is increasingly weaving into its various products. For instance, it recently added Google+ data into its search results.
"If you look at some of the things we've done, I think that if you look at in search, you can do a search now and get somebody's name and have that name really appear as a chip in the search," said Page. "And that means that it's no longer a string that you're searching for, it's actually a real person. That notion of identity is really a deep, deep part of what we're doing. And it's an example of how we can make all of our products better by really understanding people."
One reason Google dubbed its social network Google+, Page said, was that it enhances Google's various other entities. "Other big companies that work on social data and so on, I think we've seen very much a general tendency to wall that data up and not make the data available, where we have publicly been able to access the data."
By tying its Google+ into its other properties it will surely boost the gross numbers on the social network that it shares in its quarterly financial results. But it won't necessarily spur people to use the social network.

Emery Town Council held a public hearing on the issuance of bonds for their new fire station. The bond is for $100,000 which is a zero percent interest loan from the community impact board. Emery Town will have 30 years to pay back the bond. The public hearing is required by law.
One Emery resident spoke to the matter. He advised Emery Town Council not to get into debt because, "Going into debt is one of the worst things, I believe, which we can lead our little town into at this time. It constitutes a deep disservice to the constituents who have elected the mayor and council to preserve and protect their homes. Indebtedness places every home in our town squarely in the way of economic harm."
Council person Eric Anderson said the old fire station is falling down and Emery Town is in need of a new fire station.
Council person Corrine Dalton said she was recently in a wreck and she appreciates the EMT services the town has and a fire station is needed for the protection of town members and their homes. The EMTs and ambulance service is needed to help keep the families of Emery safe. Dalton said she doesn't believe the bond will be a hardship on the town.
The bond is at zero percent which makes a big difference and monthly payments will cost the town $228 a month.
It was mentioned that Emery Town went into debt to provide the sewer and water services now available to town residents. "To go in debt to build a fire station is worthwhile," said city employees, "The bills we pay now for propane to heat the old building will go away with the new building. If we don't construct a new building then we could lose these services. The ambulance needs a warm building to be housed. If we can't have the facilities to take care of the fire trucks and the ambulance then the county will take the ambulance back."
The town pays $7,000 a year for heat for the old building. It isn't known what the heating costs will be on the new building. The ambulance needs to be kept at 70 degrees and the fire trucks must be kept above freezing. In the new building the ambulance will have its own space which will be kept heated and the fire trucks will be kept at a lower temperature to save on heating costs.
Right now with the old building the entire building is heated.
Mayor Mistie Christiansen said the issue has been addressed for the past year and the majority of the town's residents are in favor of the new fire station.
The original building has been scaled down from original plans. The payments do not begin for two years and in the interim time, payments will be put into a savings account set up for this purpose. "This is not a frivolous expenditure, but we appreciate your point of view" said the mayor.
The council voted to approve the bond and it passed. Bids will be accepted for the fire station/town hall project until 1 p.m. on June 4 at which time the bids will be opened. A pre-bid conference will be held on May 27 at 1 p.m. at the Emery Town Hall.
The town council took care of other city business. Dalton reported on the group home ordinance.
She said if there aren't any changes then the ordinance should be adopted into the developmental code after a public hearing which will be in the next meeting in June.
She is still working with residents to ensure they have the proper building permits for their projects. She reported they are still looking for volunteers to be part of the planning and zoning commission. The council elected to forgive an overage on a water bill where a leak went undetected during the months the city doesn't read the meters. If it happens again it will not be forgiven a second time. The resident has fixed the leak.
The rocks are being engraved at Bunderson's for the beautification project and the town had a clean-up where a lot was accomplished. The young men and young women of the town will be awarded a prize for the most work done. The planters along Main Street are almost ready to plant.
For the historical committee, Alisha is still looking for historic pictures to put in the calendar to sell at the 24th of July celebration. Gary Jensen reported the passing lane is back on the list for UDOT. This lane will extend from the Consol Road to the top of the hill.
Mayor Christiansen passed out a tentative budget for 2010 and asked everyone to review it and bring back comments to the next meeting.
The council approved a $25 donation to the Miss Emery pageant to be held on July 11.
It was mentioned the savings account for the repayment of the fire station bond must be listed as a line item on the new budget.
The town has an insurance policy where the statement of values must be prepared. The town hall will be added to this policy along with the roadshop and all its supplies and equipment.
Mayor Christiansen said the town council would like to hold a ground breaking ceremony the end of June for the fire station. The time and date will be announced at a later time.
The youth council went on a hike for an activity and they will visit the pool the first week of June. Their July activity will be planning and hosting the dance for the July 24 celebration.
Mayor Christiansen told the council of the public lands council meeting decision where they will gather public input this month and be prepared to vote on whether Emery County should start the process for a public lands use bill.
The bill could be patterned after the Washington County lands bill which recently passed Congress. She said the bill could include some wilderness. She wants the people to become involved and voice their opinions. "Get educated on what's happening," encouraged the mayor.
Emery is still having trouble with dogs that are running the streets unlicensed. The city can charge a fine of $10 if dogs aren't licensed. Residents are encouraged to license their dogs.
New concrete will be poured for a basketball court to replace the one which was sacrificed for the new fire station.
The town will advertise for someone to do mowing for the city. You must be 18 years of age to work for the city. The next council meeting will be on June 9 at 6 p.m.

"My feet size ranges from size 7 to 7.5 depending on brand. For New Balance, all my shoes are a size 7.5 so I ordered these in a size 7.5 but they ran long. I am going to have to exchange these. As for my feet, I have wide feet and these aren't completely narrow nor wide, just perfect/regular. The outside of these shoes are not soft, they're quite hard compared to my other shoes but these feel comfortable on but not very comfy just regular for the price. These shoes feel more bulky but it's workable. Why I purchased these shoes was because of the color scheme I am not good with keeping shoes clean and since these are majority black in color they serve my purpose. Overall, not a bad pair."

Love New Balance - But not these
"I used to be a big advocate for New Balance's after getting a pair of their running shoes, which were absolutely perfect.But since I do P90x & insanity styled workouts, I heard that i should be wearing cross-training shoes because they offer more support for high-impact multi-directional movement.These shoes, however, weren't very supportive. The cushioning was dense, but very hard and the arch was too high-- it made my feet ache. Also, the toe are didn't have enough padding or it was just too roomy so my feet would slide around in the shoe when I would be doing lunges and most other exercises.Maybe I should have went a size smaller, but I'm on my way to DSW to find a better pair of sneakers. I'm going to try a different brand now."

Did You Know? Countdown to Easter (04/16)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore About Easter
April 16 : 08 days till Easter
Did you know that Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of wearing ashes (in the sign of a cross) on the forehead as a sign of repentance?
The movable holiday, which falls anytime between February 4 and March 10, is the first day of the Lenten Period. The ashes are saved from the burning of the previous year's Palm Sunday palm branches.
Easter is the time of springtime festivals, a time to welcome back the Tulips, Crocuses and Daffodils. A time for Christians to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Christ. And a time of chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, and colored eggs! Join our Easter festivities as we present a new "Did You Know?" fact each day and countdown to Easter on April 24th!

Skip to comments.Ted Kennedy FBI file reveals threats (Minutemen threats?)
Posted on 06/14/2010 8:04:19 AM PDT by pillut48
NEW YORK - After the violent deaths of his brothers, the youngest Kennedy, Teddy, lived under constant threat that he too would meet an assassin's bullet. As he put it bluntly, They're going to shoot my ass off the way they shot off Bobby's.
We are learning more about these files, as the FBI has released 2,352 pages from its file on the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
The FBI has posted the file on its hot topics page. If you see new information in the files, please send us an e-mail.
The new file is dominated by investigations of threats against Ted Kennedy, who died Aug. 25 at age 77. "These threats originated from multiple sources, including individuals, anonymous persons, and members of radical groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, 'Minutemen'organizations, and the National Socialist White Peoples Party," the FBI said. "The file also contains threats from individuals angered by Kennedys stance on politics in Northern Ireland and allegations of an alleged Mafia plot to kill President Kennedy and Senators Robert and Edward Kennedy."
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
That creep thought mighty highly of himself.
Well, he WAS "American royalty", wasn't he?
< gags >
Bobby Kennedy - killed by a muslim to further islam
John Kennedy - killed by a communist to further communism
I am not seeing the connection to the tea party...
Ted Kennedy is dead.
Ted was his own worse enemy. He lead a life of sin and deceit and that left scars on his family and this country.
...guess they just stopped short of his contacts with the Russians during Bush's years eh?
I suppose he was also at inadvertent risk from the Japanese commercial whaling fleet...
Waitress Sandwich —that's what Teddy called it, when he humped a waitress along with some other important democrat, back there in Massachusetts. I think it was at The Black Dog, but I could be mistaken.
The man felt he was subject to a different set of rules.
I think we have NOTHING to do with the people who offed his brothers.
The comparison is totally unfair.
Waitress Sandwich —the humping was on the floor in the middle of the bar.
Sorry I didn't make that clear.
I think there was more of a threat to the people who rode in cars and planes with him, than his losing his life to an assassin.
They're going to shoot my ass off the way they shot off Bobby's.
It would take a rather large clip with a high caliber round to shoot the ass off.. that ass.
LOL....I stand corrected....
All garbage.
REAL threats don't make threatening calls or send letters.
They try to kill you.
And he is a baaaad driver and swimmer. Oh thats right he swam across the Chappaquiddick channel while MJ was drowning
Lee Harvey Oswald?
It has been PROVEN that Lee Harvey Oswald did not and could not have fired the shot that killed President Kennedy.
If he was so concerned about being assassinated, he should have just retired from public office and public life. He was a political whore who enjoyed the limelight and milking the taxpayer's of every last dime they had.
Ted Kennedy's greatest threat was Chivas Regal!
Well, his brothers and his father came up a little short in the morals catagory too.
GREAT photo - I love it!
***It has been PROVEN that Lee Harvey Oswald did not and could not have fired the shot that killed President Kennedy.***
On the contrary! It was proven that Oswald DID nc could do the shot, on the Discovery or History channel a couple of years ago.
Using artificial cadavers, placed EXACTLY as the limo was set up, with Conally in a special "jump seat", using ammo from the lot used by Oswald, and at the hight of his firing position.
Upon firing the rifle the bullet hit, bounced, twisted and landed in EXACTLY the same positions with the same "wounds" on the artificial cadavers as Kennedy and Conally received.
A target that size...well, at least we now know the real reason for the ammo shortage last year.
The other senator was none other than Chris Dodd. The event occuredin 1985 at La Brasserie, a restaurant near Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
It has been PROVEN that Lee Harvey Oswald did not and could not have fired the shot that killed President Kennedy.
Yeah, I am sure Richard Nixon did it.
Ted got death threats. So does every other person in the public eye. It's part of the price they pay.
***Bobby Kennedy - killed by a muslim to further islam***
Unfortunatly, Sirhan was a Palestinian Christian.
Red Dwarf fans know exactly who killed JFK.
Ted was a waste of time, space, and money. I thought he would drink himself to death long before he died.
The Minuteman organizations referred to here have no relation to the current Tea Party organizations and the border related Minuteman organization. The Minuteman organizations referred to here were groups in the 50s and 60s that (correctly) thought the government was infiltrated with communists and were generally opposed to the civil rights movement. They were never very numerous and died out in the 70s.
Let's look at the scoreboard, shall we:
People Killed By the Minutemen: 0
People Killed By Ted Kennedy: 1
Ted was obviously off his rocker, and I'm not just thinking of his wannabe KGB connect. Robert Kennedy was shot by a palestinian who had nothing to do with "minutemen", and I think his a** was completely unhurt. Guess Teddy's head was full of what Teddy's head was full of.
Oh...don't even start on this....
Actually, some crazy woman tried to fight her way into Kennedy's office with a knife, but a Secret Service, who was guarding the Senator at the time, stopped her.
Me either.
And Elephant hunting safaris.
Man murders a woman, gets away with it, and then plays the victim. He even met privately with the KGB to thwart President Reagan's agenda.
He had a lot of balls.
Chris Dodd. He had a menage a tois with Chris Dodd.
I fully expect old Teddy to become a 'Saint'!
Becoming a saint costs more than buying annulments.
He had a lot of balls
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Don't really know about that, but it is quite obvious he did have a big A$$.
History would show that Ted put a bootle to his head (actually it was his liver) and pulled the trigger.
Regarding an assassination plot, I have no doubt that some, probably most of the threats were staged, Ted trying to play the victim card.
Ted was a drunk and a coward.
I'd call him a murderer but he didn't actually kill Mary Jo, he just let drown.
Check this out...
Where the heck did that come from?

The Stereo Vinyl Cruiser 78a Green Swirl Wheels were inspired by three things: music, skateboarding, and fun. Stereo's creative roots trace back one of its original inspirations: American Jazz & Blues music and the rich style, design, and culture that went with it. Stereo owners Jason Lee and Chris Pastras started out riding what are affectionately called "Banana Boards" as early as 1979 and now, after professional skateboarding careers spanning two decades, they still enjoy riding their collectible versions, which inspired the "Vinyl Series" wheels today. Anyone who loves to skateboard, will find them just plain fun to roll on. At Stereo Skateboards, they want you to feel what they've been experiencing for the past 20 years... a cruiser board under your feet, music, skateboarding, and having fun the whole time. Stereo Vinyl Cruiser 78a Wheels come with 608zz ABEC7 bearings. Bearings included. Available in colorways as seen below. Sizes available as seen below.
- 78a
- Cruiser wheel
- 608zz ABEC7 bearings

Springfield officials say the city is about to be bolstered by Massachusetts state police patrols to help combat gun-related violence.
Mayor Domenic Sarno has formally requested the assistance of a specialized state police unit called CAT or Community Action Team. Sarno spokesperson James Leydon says the request is in response to multiple shootings, an armed robbery and a stabbing in just the past few days – though none of the incidents have resulted in fatalities.
Leydon says the mayor wants to deploy the CAT team in certain neighborhoods like Mason Square and lower Forest Park, as well as the entertainment district downtown, especially during late night hours.
"A lot of these are hot-spot areas. A lot seem to be either domestic-related or drug and gang-related. It's not widespread; it's not all over the city," Leydon said. "But it's, you know, it's giving us a bad rap, and he really wants to deploy all resources that are available to try to suppress it."
The added patrols are being paid for through a $100,000 appropriation from the state legislature. Springfield Police spokesperson Sergeant John Delaney says the CAT team has helped patrol the city in past years, and the plan to have them again has long been in the works. And Delaney stresses that for a city its size, Springfield is still safe to live and visit.
"When we look at our statistics over the last year, you know, crime is down in Springfield. But when you watch the news, people have the perception that crime is up because there's a shooting here, there's a shooting there," Delaney said.
Delaney says Police Commissioner William Fitchett is scheduled to meet Tuesday with State Police officials to coordinate deploying the CAT team in Springfield, who could be on patrol as early as this weekend.

Forgive my spelling. This was sent from my phone.
I just ordered 6 jerseys from www.supejersey.com. I know they are not real, but I prefer the sizing of these compared to the real ones, as they don't fit as loose. It's a good site, and jerseys are around 22 bucks a piece.
---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
Also, they have a great women selection if you have a wife that needs a nice jersey
Got to love the fat black guy they always show at dolphins games wearing a new fake player every game, but mostly 91 wake. You think the guy with such good seats would just invest in a real jersey. Sheesh if your shown on T.V every game get your merchandise up. The organization should give him a free gamer of Soliai so it fits him, this way people watching on T.V don't think that fools jerseys are real and go out and buy a cheap flaux like he does.
The sad part is you can find gem type steals on eBay of 100% authentic jerseys from Marino-Wake. I'm talking top quality non knock offs. I bought many 100% authentic jerseys on eBay and sites like gameuseduniverse, Jersey central for under 50$ shipped. Heck I got a 100% authentic joey porter, and jr Seau on eBay for 20$ shipped lol. Its all about putting in a little bit of work guys. You don't need to be lazy and result to buying a peice of **** that is closer to miami university colorways than it is Dolphins . Its like people who buy fake jordans. When they fall apart in 1 week, you get what you pay for.
Tannehill 17
I actually appreciate stumbling upon this thread (before it got moved, deleted or otherwise molested). I am a dirt poor fan who buys most of his clothes from the Salvation Army store and I'd actually like to buy a Ryan Tannehill jersey - without breaking the bank - prior to knowing whether or not he'll even be here in two years (I think he'll be an All-Pro, but who really knows?).
which site is it?
Seems the only problem with those sites is that they charge $20(!) for shipping! So not any kind of a deal, after all.
I have seen some good fakes, as long as they get the colors right.

Last week, the Emery High Lady Spartans lost two region volleyball contests as they continue struggling to put a complete game together. Emery was never really in the North Sanpete game as they lost quickly in three matches 25-14, 25-10 and 25-8. It was a different story against Juab but the end result was the same.
Against Juab, Emery got off to a very quick start as they played with confidence and executed properly. It appeared at the beginning that the other Spartan team had shown up and that victory was at hand but alas, it was not to be. Emery won the first two matches 25-20 and 25-18 to take a commanding lead in the best of three series.
In the third match, Emery reverted back to the other team and lost the match 25-16. Emery never recovered and lost the next match 25-21 and the final 15-9 to let a golden opportunity slip away.
Coach Kris Bell spoke about the game, "Against Juab, we came out and looked really good after that bad loss to North Sanpete. After winning the first two and looking good, we gave away the third match and then looked awful in the final game. We needed to have stayed focused and not have allowed ourselves to get distracted with our mistakes."
Coach Bell believes that the school has a good team with good players but sometimes they allow themselves to forget the basics of the game. "We will work on our passing, we will work on a our serving, we will work on our basics this week at practice. We can be successful if we but do the fundamentals."
Emery hosts Richfield this Tuesday night and then will travel to Manti this Thursday night as they try to grab their first region victory of the season. Good luck Lady Spartans.

Hi Ms. Blackwell, thank you for the blog entry,
TCF internships are in "Technical Career Fields"
and are a VA program.
Check the VA Careers website for more information
at http://www.vacareers.va.gov/va-you/students/tcf-program.asp
I hope this helps.
Hi Mrs. Marashi, thank you for your blog entry.
The USAJOBS site is wonderful place to begin your search: http://www.usajobs.gov/
I hope this helps and, good luck.
Hi Jarred,
Thank you for your interest and excitement about Hiring Reform.
Hiring Reform was officially launched with the President's Memorandum "Improving the Federal Recruitment and Hiring Process" of May 2010 with implementation continuing successfully throughout the federal government.
Hello Vibha,
I'll direct you to the USAJOB Student Programs site, it has all the information you'll need to understand what Pathways is and what it is not.
Good luck in your endeavor.
Thank you for the blog entry.
As indicated in the proposed Pathways Programs regulations, to be eligible for the Recent Graduates Program, applicants must apply within two years of degree or certificate completion (except for Veterans precluded from doing so due to their military service obligation, who will have up to six years after degree completion). At this time, there is no provision to account for individuals who have received their degree or certificate over two years prior to the implementation date of the Pathways Programs. Please note: the Pathways Programs regulations have not been finalized, and are subject to change until published.
While some Recent Graduates could be affected by the two-year application time frame, they are still able to apply to entry-level positions via the competitive process or other hiring authorities as applicable, including those for Veterans and individuals with disabilities.
Ms. Rogers,
As indicated in the proposed Pathways Programs regulations, OPM will provide written guidance for the orderly transition of employees currently appointed as students under E.O. 13562 (Student Educational Employment Program) to the Pathways Program under E.O. 13562 and may revise that guidance as necessary.
Contact your HR department for details about your current eligibility.
Mr. Cee,
Thank you for the blog entry and thank you sir for your service.
The federal government has a long and proud history of hiring Veterans and while you didn't get this position, we encourage you to continue to apply for the positions that interest you.
Of note, as it relates to your concerns about specialized experience, in all federal hiring any applicant for any position must first meet the qualifications for that position and once an applicant has been determined to be qualified, any hiring preferences (Vets, etc.) he/she may have are then applied.
I hope this has been helpful.

Hello Ms. Mallia,
Unfortunately I can't provide an answer or a remedy to your question because the Priority Placement Program (PPP) is a DoD administered program governed by statutes that do not fall within the purview of OPM.
The problem you've described can only be addressed by the DoD component that you're seeking a position with.
Hello Mr. Caverly,
Thanks for the question, it is an interesting one.
There are currently within the Federal government, two types of laws that govern Military Spousal Preference in hiring:
1. Laws administered by the DoD
2. Laws administered by OPM
If your concern is about DoD's implementation of their military spouse preference, then your concerns would need to be addressed by DoD.
If your concern is about the application of veterans' preference, specifically the derivative preference granted to certain spouses, mothers, and widows, then we can address your concern.
Based on your e-mail, it appears you are asking about the veterans' preference laws administered by OPM.
As far as the veterans' preference (including preference granted to certain spouses) laws administered by OPM are concerned, you are correct.
In general, the order of consideration is preference eligible (veterans) and then non-preference (non-veterans) eligible.
However, just as disabled veterans can receive 10 points added to their scores or can be placed ahead of non-veterans within a quality category, certain spouses/mothers/widows/ are treated the same. Based on their derivative preference, they are also given 10 points or placed ahead of non-veterans within a quality category.
I hope this answers your concern.

- Illustrations: Illustrations
Him & Me is a hugely entertaining and irreverent account of a unique relationship between a father and son. Written in two distinctive styles, it reflects the larger-than-life personalities of its authors, Jack and Michael Whitehall. This book is a portrait of the pretty odd relationship I have with my elderly father. It's given me an opportunity to share memories of him losing his temper with foreigners on holidays, being rude to my mother's family at Christmas and failing epically during the fathers' race at my prep school. He's also written some stories about me, but can I just say, before you read anything, that I recall being a calm, well-behaved and learned child, not the intellectually subnormal, mal-coordinated dipshit that he paints me as. Nor am I, as he suggests inside, a sex addict, a flasher or a Scientologist. (Jack). How dare Jack refer to me as elderly! People always tell me how young I look for my age. In this book, I have at last been able to recount the many occasions when I have been let down by my only son. He failed on the stage, the sports field and he even screwed up the interview for his first boarding school by pretending he had mental health issues. Despite being practically illiterate, he tells stories about me, strewn with grammatical errors and peppered with endless exaggerations and lies. I was a kind, doting father, who guided his son through his formative years with love, care and respect. (Michael). 'I'm not your only son, what about Barnaby?' 'Oh yes, I forgot about Barnaby.' Packed with anecdotes, some embarrassing and indiscreet, many warm and touching, Him & Me is lavishly illustrated with family photographs and Jack's original illustrations. Friends, relatives, neighbours, teachers, actors, none are safe once Jack and Michael have opened up the Whitehall archives and shared their hilarious memories with us.

Great for Zumba
"I found these shoes to be true to size. They are just supportive enough for all the jumping in Zumba, while still being light enough for all the dancing. They are great for the side-side movements in Zumba that some shoes have too much traction for.There seemed to be no "break-in" time either! Love them!"

15 Best Beauty Tips
As beauty editors we hear tons of beauty tips, but these are the genius ones we swear by
Skip to see the best beauty tips we have ever heard now.
To be honest though, we hear so many beauty tips through our constant interviewing and testing of tools and products, that some fall by the wayside or never make it into a story. That's fine for the lackluster tips (i.e. wash your face twice a day), but it is not fine for the really smart tips. The beauty tips that are so great, they deserve to be mined out and brought to their proper light -- those diamond-in-the-rough type beauty tips.
Some of these tips are classic and have been imparted upon us from generations of women past, friends, and even through the celebrity grapevine. Though many are from the glorious beauty experts mentioned above, and some are even tried and true things we have learned ourselves over the many years of primping and prodding our way through our own beauty careers (some spanning more than 10 years). They come from being on the front lines of it all (well, of the runway and red carpet, that is). They are the ah-ha tricks we swear by.
Now, check out the best beauty tips we have ever heard.

For pregnant ladies or women who are trying to have a baby, plase be careful with retinoids! It can induce congenital malformations. Dont believe me? Google it. Better yet, look for medical journals concerning topical retinoids and pregnancy :-)

Delivering a whole new level of versatility, the Tylure Buzzbommer functions like a floating buzzbait. Featuring a large wooden head with huge eyes that rattle and move on the retrieve, a small single-blade prop on its nose, and a three-bladed prop extending from the rear of the bait, the Buzzbommer generates the characteristic buzzbait surface disturbance, while also allowing you to vary your retrieve with stops-and-starts. Solving the age-old problem of a buzzbait's proclivity to sink on the pause, the Tylure Buzzbommer is an innovative and eye-catching lure destined to be a topwater favorite.
Looking for a smaller, bite-size version? Don't forget to check out the Tylure Buzzbommer Jr.

Comments: This is a sweet night time bait. Everyone is always throwing traditional buzzbaits and i fish right beind them and stick lots o bass. It's a different sound and profile which is what these highly pressured fish want, somethin different. Thanks Tylure.
From: Jimmy: CA
Comments: Tylure products are terrible! Especially this one! Most of their baits fall apart, and usually have some sord of issue, don't track straight, hooks off, or they flat out don't function as well as they say they do.
Comments: IT IS HUGE. I ordered one and almost laughed when I opened it up. HUGE. I would never throw it as I would not have confidence based on its size. The JR, however I am very excited to toss. It seems to be a nice tasty size, can't wait to tie it on.
From: Peter: Cleveland, OH
Comments: Really great looking lure and made with nice hardware. Haven't fished it yet but it's sure to get hammered. I know as I have made lures of similar finish and character and the fish will love this stuff. The paintjob is multi-layered and very detailed. There is many colors used on the bait. The eyes are big and flexible and recessed into the bait. You can push them inward. They are neato! I have used smaller "googly" eyes such as these on home made balsa baits before and they get hammered too. I must say the giant eyes were a great idea! They have enticing action themselves. The spitting mouth and flapping tail seal the deal. I know I can catch fish on this.

Man With 100-Pound Scrotum Can't Afford $1 Million Surgery
Whether you're seeking a new source of inspiration or just in need of some perspective, Wesley Warren Jr. has got what probably got what you need. But do you have what Wesley Warren Jr. needs? Uh, that would be $1 million to purchase the corrective procedure he needs to make his scrotum normal-sized again.
Since 2008 Warren, a 47-year-old Las Vegas resident, has been suffering from scrotal lymphedema—a condition that has made his scrotum swell up with watery fluid to weigh more than 100 pounds. He carries around a milk crate and pillow to rest his oversize body part upon, and because of the extra weight has trouble breathing and walking. He can't work, deals with uncontrollable urination, gets strange looks from passersby, suffers from depression (related in large part to his condition), and stays at home most of the time. He feels like "a freak." Yet he soldiers on, fighting off suicidal thoughts ("I'm too strong for that," he says) and laughing, however uneasily, at his predicament.
Nobody's really sure what caused Warren's scrotum to swell, which adds an extra element of horror to his situation. Warren believes a traumatic incident is to blame, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports:
What Warren attributes his condition to is an accidental striking of his testicles by his own leg as he twisted and turned upon awakening from a sleep in late 2008.
"I never felt such pain," he said. "It was like a shooting pain through my entire body. When it stopped, it was like a huge tractor trailer went off the top of me. I think it ruined my lymph nodes down there."
The pain quickly went away but he said the next morning when he awoke his scrotum was "the size of a soccer ball."
Warren's been on antibiotics and medications but needs surgery to resolve his problem. Doctors at UCLA say they can perform the "seven-figure" operation, but Warren's state Medicaid won't cover it—so he's got to pay for the surgery himself. Doctors can't even predict that the surgery will be successful; castration ultimately might be necessary. But Warren wants to see if the surgery will work before losing his testicles and penis forever, so he's set up an email address to collect donations and has begun publicizing his condition.
America's health care system is still the best in the world.

|In response to Re: Question for Plumbers/Drain Guys???????
First how did the closet auger scratch it? All the ones I have seen have a rubber/plastic head to prevent scratching. But, you might try a pumice stone used to clean swimming pool walls.
: Hello, I run a 1 man,1 truck sewer and drain business here in Texas. I have been in business for 2 years and ran across a "CLIENT FRON HELL" who is threatening to sue me because the inside of her toilet is scratched where I inserted the closet auger to unstop her dam toilet. I only charged her $50.00 and the dam toilet was'nt scratched that much, just a little. Unstopping toilets this wat since the age of 12, I've never encountered a customer or ever had my Dad's customers( he is a master plumber)threatening to sue over a few scratches in which occured while I was unstopping their shitter!!!!...Well the question is "What would you do???"..the lady wants me to buy aother toilet....i don't think so...Should I spray some paint over the scratches?it has a porcelin finish...or what???!!

Nothing says summer like a pair of cut-off shorts that you can wear from the beach to brunch and beyond, but let's face it: not everyone wants to drop their hard-earned money on designer jeans. If you've got a pair of cheap old jeans that are unloved in the back of your wardrobe, pull them out and find the nearest pair of scissors. Refinery29's stylish staff experimented with 7 pairs of jeans and 7 different styles of diy cut-off shorts. We're loving the wide leg cropped trend, among others. Which is your fav?

Making Pictures
Childrens Gallery
13 March – 30 May 2004
Introduction | Essay | Education | Exhibited works
Have you ever visited an artist's studio?
Making pictures recreates an artist's studio from 100 years ago – complete with paintings, drawings, an original easel, smock and paintbox and several artists' sketchbooks. In this exhibition you can see works of art by Australian artists George Lambert, Hugh Ramsay, Thea Proctor and Rupert Bunny. These artists left Australia to live, study and work in Europe during the Edwardian era, around 1900-1914. They all had a traditional artistic training, learning drawing skills as a foundation for making pictures. Like many artists they found inspiration in the works of their peers and in the great works of art shown in museums of London and Paris. They also found inspiration in the excitement of modern life, in the theatre and fashion of the day.
The National Gallery of Australia would like to thank Canberra Repertory Theatre, The Teddy Bear Shop, Fyshwick Antique Centre and Antoni Rudnicki for their generous support of Making pictures.

Ever wonder how to contour? Thanks to the billions of ace makeup artists on YouTube, everyone's becoming a bit more of a beauty expert these days. This is great news—pro techniques are now available to everyone, which means we can all look Instagram-ready at every opportunity. But on the other hand, if you're not paying careful attention (or you're watching the wrong tutorial), things can go from pretty to pretty scary in a flash.
Contouring, a technique previously reserved for runway models and fancy photo shoots, is now becoming part of many girls' daily routines. Soooo what is it, exactly? "Contouring is giving shape to an area of the face and enhancing the facial structure through makeup," says Beau Nelson, Kristen Stewart's longtime makeup artist. "It's not supposed to be noticeable—just a subtle definition." Did you hear the man? He said subtle. In other words, this is not the time to go dipping your blush brush into some bronzer and adding a brown stripe under your cheeks. It's all about the artistry—and illusion!
Before we get into technique, there are a few things to keep in mind for your shopping list.
Stick with matte: "Always avoid shimmery products," says celebrity makeup pro Pati Dubroff. "Contours are meant to be matte, while highlight is meant to have shimmer. Texture is key."
Don't be tone deaf: "A lot of people contour with their bronzer," says Nelson. "But I'm against that unless you have tanned skin. You need to find something that creates the illusion of an actual shadow, which typically has tones of beige, brown, taupe, and grey." For ultra-light skin tones, YouTube pro Lisa Eldridge recommends using a darker pressed powder (like MAC's), while Nelson suggests MAC Omega. Darker skin tones would do well to try the ultra-lu Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate; also give the Bobbi Brown bronzers a go for that just-right color.
Customize your complexion: "If you're using powders to contour, you'll get a more matte finish. If you use creams, the result will be more dewy." It's best for beginners to start with creamy products, since they're easy to blend and build. "I love Chanel's Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Base," says Dubroff. "Get an angled cream brush to hit under the cheekbone and jaw bone."
Brushes matter—a lot: "It's all about the brush," Nelson says. "Start with a smaller, fluffy eyeshadow brush so you have more precision. You should buy two, one for contouring and one for highlighting." Just about every makeup artist in the world swears by MAC #217. Another great trick is to adapt a fan brush into your routine—E.L.F Cosmetics has a fantastic, low-priced one that's great for feathering products into the hairline, under the jawline, and around the cheekbone for a precise, airbrushed finish.
It's all about the blur: Hard lines are never chic. "Use a regular foundation brush or a damp egg sponge and tap it into the contour to make sure there's no demarcation," Dubroff advises. In other words? You absolutely need to blend it in. "Don't forget to add some happy color to the apple of the cheek and a bit of sheen to the cheekbones to further enhance the complexion." Opt for a peachy-pink for a natural-looking flush (we like Tarte's long-wearing blush in Peaceful), then add luminizer just at the top of the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, and a hint on the chin for super-fresh skin. Our longstanding favorite is RMS Living Luminizer, and all three makeup artists we talked to suggested Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight.
Now, on to the technique of how to contour! This video by Lisa Eldridge is the absolute best on YouTube for a really natural, pretty-looking contour technique. Also? So, so easy. Click to watch it above, but pay special attention to these three key pointers.
Start soft: Eldridge builds her pigment along as she goes, so she can follow the shape clearly. Watch as she uses circular motions to sweep under the jawlines, the sides of the temples, and under the cheekbones. (Think of this area as a "3" shape, and it makes a whole lot more sense.)
Build, then buff: There's a lot of sharp-looking lines towards the middle of the tutorial, but watch as Eldridge softens them with a clean cotton pad to remove excess. (Remember when Dubroff said to blend out with a damp sponge or foundation brush? Same idea.)
Less is more: Eldridge goes to work contouring the lips, the nose, and the eyes, but Dubroff warns that all-over contouring can be a bit much for a fresh young face. Skip those steps at first, then add them at your discretion. If you're nervous that any of it is too much, Dubroff offers an easy solution: "Get two different shades of foundation," she suggests. "Focus the lighter shade in the center of the face, and the darker along the perimeter and under the cheekbones and jawline." Blend with a damp sponge to make sure there are no harsh lines, and voila—you just mastered contouring!

Chapter 31
The Philistines defeat Israel—Saul and his three sons are slain—Their bodies are retrieved by the Gileadites and burned.
1 Now the
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and
