I lost all respect for King as an artist after he claimed The Dark Tower would be his last book and tie everything together, then it didn't, then he went back on his word and started churning out crap again. (Is there a Green Mile or Rita Hayworth & The Shawshank Redemption anywhere in his post-DT work? I rest my case.)
That's my jacket!
Just finished the book tonight....I don't know if I was let down at the end...I really enjoyed it, just kind of eh at the end I guess.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
A few hours ago I finished A Perfect Mile. Its about Sir Rodger Banniser, Wes Santee and John Landy and the quest to be the first man to break the 4 minute barrier in the mile.
I finished Secret Missions: Breakout Squad the other day. Not bad; it's no Jude Watson YA story, but it got better as it progressed, unlike some that taper off. But the subtitle of book #2, "The Curse of the Black Hole Pirates" just sounds too creepy.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
A friend lent me several of the Jedi Quest and Jedi Apprentice books to read. These books are out of print and hard to find. Quick reads but I enjoy them.
Rogue Warrior: Dictator's Ransom. Richard Marcinko is an ex-Navy SEAL who's written fictional accounts of his adventures. They're pretty interesting. Dictator's Ransom has him working for the North Korean leader on trying to locate the NK dictator's missing son.
I started reading Valkyerie, about the July 1944 Hitler assassination. It's written by the last-living conspirator.
A colleague at work (the same one who lent me Don Felder's book) plopped Chuck Negron's Three Dog Nightmare on my desk last night. Another woeful tale of a rocker who had everything implodes. First few pages have been good. After tonight, I'm on vacation, so I've got some reading material right off the bat!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Finished Valkyrie. It was good. I know there are several WWII buffs out there, and I recommend it to them.
My Christmas present to myself was a copy of the Art of CW. Between a coupon and some Borders Rewards points, I got it for a good price.

Ain't this fun? The unionistas score again. Just another case of getting what the nation deserves. Thank God I no longer need to travel by air. But you unionistas must be so proud of your brothers. Can a strike be far off?
Dear William,
President Barack Obama will leave no stone unturned when it comes to forcing workers under union-boss control.
Last week, for the first time ever, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport screeners ratified a monopoly bargaining agreement -- despite the inherent danger of subjecting our national security interests to union monopoly control and the crippling work rules and bureaucracy it brings.
You see, the executive branch has the authority to exempt federal workers from monopoly bargaining rules if the workers are part of national security or intelligence programs.
Current law automatically excludes employees of the FBI and CIA from union monopoly bargaining due to the extremely sensitive nature of work they do.
But in the rush to create the TSA in the months after the 9/11 terrorism attacks, the Bush Administration failed to extend that automatic policy to airport screeners despite warnings from your National Right to Work Committee.
Your Committee is also working to ensure that legislation to end monopoly bargaining at the TSA is introduced in the next session of Congress.
The Obama Administration took advantage of its discretionary authority as soon as it could -- all to pump yet more money into Big Labor's coffers.
TSA officials insist that airport screeners can't strike, and union bosses can't negotiate over vital security interests.
But American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) union bosses now yield monopoly bargaining powers over disciplinary actions, shift schedules, and other rules, which could prevent the TSA from making personnel adjustments when necessary.
Not only that, illegal strikes are all too common in the government sector -- union bosses know they can frequently demand and obtain amnesty from thin-skinned bureaucrats.
And as pro-Right to Work Senator Jim DeMint has warned, the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency provides a roadmap for what we can expect from the unionized TSA.
Biased arbitrators have forced the CBP to obtain union bosses' permission when reassigning personnel, and union bosses have fought tooth-and-nail against merely letting the CBP investigate officers accused of violence.
I'm sure you can predict how union bosses will react when passengers complain about harassment by TSA airport screeners abusing their authority.
Hidden payoffs to Big Labor in Obamacare. A radical federal labor board. And now a unionized TSA.
What other stones will Barack Obama turn over in the next four years?

Australia has a lot of "big" tourist attractions... this is one of many.... :-)
LOVE this page, Jode! Your wonderful use of white space and how you stetched your elements across the page really shows off your great pics! I really like your Larry-the-Lobster photos - how funny and unique! Sure would like to meet him one day. I love seeing YOU and like how you turned one background a bit with the orange paper peeking from behind. I also really like how you put together your background pieces and beautiful embellishment clusters and especially the smiley face! I like the giltter-like "bubbles" too! Great work and wonderful layout.
That looks like one big lobster! What a fun layout. I really like the background papers and the placement of your photos and journaling. Thanks for joining the challenge today!
I love how you have everything across the centre of your page, and the colours are great with your photos.
Larry the lobster is perfect for today's challenge! I always enjoy your ribbons and here I love how they festively tie the photos together. I also like the happy face and the shiny bubbles... but this whole page is total fun!
I like what you done with the minimal space usage. Nice work!
The giant lobster is kinda freaking me out, but your layout is lovely! You have some kind of wonderful talent here. Love the layout!!!
Love the lobster! Nice border created with the background and tilted white paper. Great cluster strip behind Larry. I'd look behind you, he appears to be on the attack!
Larry is indeed quite fun! Love the negative space on this and the great orange elements you found. Makes a very interesting and well done layout.
Larry the Lobster is a site to see! I love those types of oversized attractions and your layout is a fun tribute to it. Love the background papers and your beautiful ribbon work. Great to see you in the picture too!
Another beautiful layout Jody, I love your restraint with space, the lovely floating look of the papers and once again your wonderful clusters. Larry looks delicious and would have been decorating my plate, if I'd been ther!

I was most impressed with the machine that does all the work. It's not a lot of machines and equipment, but just one, great, big machine with ramps and belts and pumps and blowers and crushers and pokers and magnets. Everything, except for cardboard and newspaper, is pushed onto the belt and comes out separated and bailed and ready to ship to whomever is buying the material.
One question from the group, "What is the worst (or most mis-understood) material to be recycled"? Without hesitation, Jesse said "The plastic grocery bags. They are not recyclable and need to be hand picked off the conveyor belt". He also asked if we could "please wash out the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, and ragu from the empty bottles. It really starts to smell when the glass is crushed".
So that's what happens to that stuff. I'm now curios to know what happens after it arrives in Oklahoma, China, Arizona and Texas after it's purchased. I see another field trip in our future.
Thanks to our tour guide and everyone from the Antlers at Vail condos that took some time away from their busy day to join us. (And thanks for the photos Kate)

Dispelling Some Myths about Adding Salt to FW Aquariums
Recently there have been a number of threads arise regarding the use of salt in freshwater aquariums. Unfortunately, there are some myths out there regarding the use of salt and exactly what it will do. There are still many that use salt and sing its praises, it is just one more thing that does not need to be used all the time and I'd like to clear up a few of the myths surrounding it. The following statements are not merely the opinion of this hobbyist, they are founded in scientific fact.
1. The first idea that I'd like to deal with is the ideal of "Relief of Osmotic stress." This is an idea that is not entirely a myth, however it is often presented as a blanket statement and that is where the myth arrives. For fish that come from environments that have 0 salt (aka, most captive bred fish) the addition of salt does nothing to relieve osmotic stress, it creates it. For wild caught fish that come from brackish environments or environments where there a trace amount of salt can be found, the addition of a very small amount of salt will help with osmotic stress.
2. Myth number 2 deals specifically with livebearers. Mollies, Platies, Swordtails, and Guppies are often presented as being brackish fish or fish that require salt. This is a completely false idea. Platies, Swordtails, and Guppies are all completely freshwater species. Mollies are not a brackish fish, they are however a euryhaline species. This simply means they can adapt to a wide range of salinities. They key word there is adapt, they do not require salt at all but they can adapt to levels ranging from none all the way to full marine.
3 and 4. The third myth deals with disease prevention and the fourth does right along with it; stress reduction. Again, this is not entirely false but it is still entirely unecessary. Salt allows the fish keeper to keep lower than ideal water quality and it reduces the chances of diesase as a result. However, the idea that it will prevent Ich is not true at all. The logic seems to be, since salt kills free swimming Ich, it will keep it from forming. This is not true, and it has in fact lead to a strain of Ich that is entirely resistant to salt. Ich is a parasite and a very adaptable one at that. Maintaining salt in your system all the time simply allows the Ich to adapt to it and develop an immunity to it. Also in this area, the logic seems to be that salt helps create a thicker slime coat which in turn makes them more disease resistant. This reason has to be the most pointless of all the reasons for using salt. While it is true salt does cause a fish to develop a thicker slimecoat, the development of the thicker slimecoat is a reaction to an irritant in the water, and that irritant is the salt. Irritants in the water are a source of stress, and stress is a cause of disease in fish. So, here is what the addition of salt boils down to in this case: salt irritates fish and creates stress -> fish develops thicker slimecoat in reaction to irritant -> fish becomes more resistant to diesase that results from a stressful situation. At this point, the fishkeeper would be just as far ahead without the addition of salt, because with out the salt, there would be no creation of a stressful situation that the fish needed a defense against. Completely self defeating reason.
5. Another reason some people site for using salt is the addition of electrolytes to the water. While this may be true, the exact same thing is accomplished by simply doing a water change. Again, the addition of salt is a redundant and pointless act in this case. The salt concentration of fish blood is 15-17 parts per thousand. In freshwater the surrounding environment has a much lower salt concentration and therefore the tendency for equilibrium causes the water to diffuse into the bloodstream through the thin gill walls through osmosis. As you raise the salinity of the surrounding environment the rate of osmosis slows down. When you reach concentrations that are equal, osmosis completely stops because equilibrium has been reached. That cessation or slowing down of osmosis slows down the electrolyte intake as well. So, the introduction of extra electrolytes via salt simply makes up for the slower rate of osmosis caused by the salt. Again, self defeating.
6. The final thing I want to deal with here is the idea that Salt allows fish to diffuse more oxygen from the water. This is a completely false idea that simply proves that the advocates of this myth simply do not understand fish physiology. There is evidence that things like copper sulfate, salt, and other slime coat boosters can all cause the exact same problem. A good indication of the oxygen content of your water is the ventilation rate of your fish. If a fish is ventilating very quickly then it is attempting to get extra oxygen, and this happens when there is not enough oxygen in the water, the fish is stressed, or it cannot extract enough oxygen from the water. (Edit: author's amendment).

Good post and very useful information.
One little point though, regarding #6. The rate of osmosis to maintain salt balance has little or nothing to do with the rate of oxygen uptake. The oxygen isn't taken up with the water.
That being said, increased salt could reduce oxygen uptake, but it has more to do with #4. The increased slime coat thickness on the gills increases the distance over which the oxygen has to diffuse and this diffusion is the slowest part of oxygen uptake. A thicker slime coat could therefore lead to lower oxygen uptake.My AC Fish Gallery:

Nicely written and great explanations, ILuvMyGoldBarb.
Now, I have seen some other threads recently about using salt in a fresh water aquarium and I suspect that there are different opinions to what ILuvMyGoldBarb has shared. We welcome debate here to challenge each other and to learn from each other. If you have counter-arguments, feel free to attack the argument, not the poster. And when you attack the argument, you should have some interesting thought provoking ideas and information besides "but I have always done it like this" or "my lfs does this in their tanks". This hobby, like every thing else in the world, is evolving and dynamic. New ideas are challenged and tested before being accepted. It is how we learn. Please respect each other.
Woo! Great post GB!
As usual, very informative!As I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

$3M grant transforms Binghamton University's undergraduate engineering curriculum
UGS PLM Solutions, the product lifecycle management subsidiary company of EDS, has awarded a grant of more than $3 million in computer-aided design (CAD) software to support undergraduate engineering students at Binghamton University's Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science.
The 600 seats of Solid Edge software is the largest single gift-in-kind contribution in Watson School history and is a capstone to events marking the school's 20th anniversary year. EDS is the world's most experienced outsourcing services company with revenues in 2002 of $21.5 billion.
"This grant will have a transformational impact on our undergraduate engineering curriculum," said University President Lois B. DeFleur. "The support of corporate friends such as UGS enables us to enhance the Watson School's excellent programs, faculty, staff and students."
Binghamton University is among a number of institutions that has received multimillion-dollar software grants from UGS PLM Solutions. The grants provide leading-edge technology to enhance the talent and skills of university graduates who, in turn, will help their future employers become more competitive in an increasingly complex global economic environment.
"UGS PLM Solutions is pleased to provide this grant to Binghamton University," said Stephen Brown, vice president of channel sales in the Americas for UGS PLM Solutions. "Today's leading manufacturing and technology companies compete on the basis of time to market, production cost, quality and innovation. Students must have the opportunity to gain experience with technology that supports these objectives. We hope that our support for Binghamton's excellent engineering programs will add value for both its students and the manufacturing community."
The Solid Edge CAD software donated to the University will be introduced to students during their mandatory freshman engineering design course. Students will continue to use the software throughout their studies in electrical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, and mechanical engineering. It will also be the primary CAD software used in the students' senior year capstone design project.
"Today's engineers need to understand and apply computer-aided design in myriad applications," said Charles R. Westgate, dean of the Watson School. "With the support of UGS, our students will be exposed to the cutting-edge software from their freshman year through their graduation, preparing them for success in their careers."
"With this software, we can assign more complex projects and give students a real feel for the intricacies of design," said Roy McGrann, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Watson School's engineering design division.

I have been writing about and watching wrestling for 16 years now. Ever since I knew what it was, I loved it. The molding of athletics and entertainment was just so interesting to me. As I said, I know about NWA, TNA, WWE, WCW, ROH, ECW, you name it, I probably know something about it.

For me, anything taking less than a week of planning and preparation is a spur-of-the-moment thing. So when I decided to take off for an overnight of camping & star gazing (what I call a "Star Trekâ€) last Saturday morning, that was a real spur of the moment decision.
First order of business was the essentials: the telescope, mount, eyepieces, laptop, cables and other astro-items. Next, the food: a quick look in the fridge for easy leftovers. A couple of hot dogs, a chicken breast, some bread, drinks, eggs, hash. I'm all set.
My trusty FJ40, Rocinante, and trailer are always ready; they just had to be hooked up and I was off. Except…dang! I had a show to attend. No getting out of it. It was a Christmas gift for a friend, after all.
So right after the show ended at 4 PM, I headed home, hooked up and hit the road. You might say I blasted out of there, but then, this IS my FJ40 with trailer. Blasting is relative, so a mighty quick pace is 60 to 65 mph.
I was headed to southeast Arizona about 75 miles away from home, where I could count on some nice dark skies. Celestial objects don't take kindly to all the light pollution around major cities, and I am afraid Tucson has become just that.
My timing was only fair, as I arrived after sunset and my first two choices for campsites were already occupied. So I set off along another little used track, finally finding a nice flat area about a half-mile away.
No problem. I set up camp very quickly (the Horizon Adventure Trailer with RTT makes that really easy), then set up the telescope and laptop. An hour or so after sunset the stars were out in force, and I was rolling. My scope is an 11†Schmidt-Cassegrain, which gathers a lot of light and allows me to see some very faint objects. Right now my particular favorites are galaxies and galaxy clusters.
This night though, I was on the hunt for the Messier objects (see: http://www.seds.org/messier/). I had a list I wanted to see and was making steady progress for a couple of hours until the night temperatures dropped below 45Ëš. Then my laptop battery pooped out and shutdown.
Not to be deterred I pressed on using the onboard computer within the scope base and managed to knock off a few more. As the temp dropped, I called it quits for a few hours and crawled into a nice warm sleeping bag.
At 4 AM I was up again and observed for another hour and a half before crawling back into bed until after sunrise. What a crazy feeling to not be up well before sunrise!
I spent the day sitting in the sun, reading an old Sci-Fi novel by Heinlein. I was planning on a second night star gazing but the wind started to pick up, actually lifting my awning off the ground at one point. The very fine powder dust that was swirling about is no friend to an optical instrument so I simply packed it up and headed home around sunset.
It was a most excellent Star Trek.
Now to start planning for an extended Star Trek to southern Utah later this year…

The Concept
The Boards
Starboard iSonic 107 Wood – Windsurf UK
The results
Now I'm sure what everyone wants to know is which is the fastest? We spent hours racing these boards up and down in all conditions, we also used GPS systems to log our speeds and our final results were that they are all very fast! It was extremely difficult to call a winner whereas there are so many variables involved. Including the rider that will affect the performance and I'm afraid there isn't one particular board that I can promise will win you automatically every race. If I had to rank the boards for top straight-line speed then it would be as follows: Starboard first, closely followed by the JP, followed even closer by the Fanatic and the RRD tight on their heels but for fastest round the bends then the order would be flipped on its head, so at the end of a race it would be very close indeed. For more individual info on how these boards performed please read on.
You'll like... A straight line rocket machine.
You wont like... Slightly more technical than last year's model.
This is the sixth generation of Starboard's iSonic Slalom line, designed and developed by Starboard's race team, which includes ex-world champions Bjorn Dunkerbeck and Kevin Pritchard. The range consists of ten boards and boasts six upgrades from last year, as well as an all-new full carbon construction in the larger sizes.
Replacing the 111, the 107 is a new design for 2011. It has a much deeper deck concave, which further lowers the rig into the board, and the deck around the straps is more raised to give the rider more control and comfort. The overall dimension and shape are very similar to last year's model but the tail cut-outs have been tweaked and the mast track has been moved slightly further back for improved top speed performance. The iSonic's are not supplied with fins but Starboard recommends a Deboichet SL4 40cm.
At rest the iSonic is not the most stable, with very little volume in the nose and the deep deck concave around the mast track. Fortunately it lifts very quick up onto the plane, so you can get quickly back into the straps where it is a lot more comfortable. The elevated position allows you to really drive the board hard and it rides very low and flat to the water. The iSonic points higher than any other board and also carries a lot more speed upwind, this enables you to position yourself well amongst the racing fleet for clean wind and easier overtaking manoeuvres. Round the corners it requires full commitment and will reward you with lightning fast exits when you get it right. You need to be able to fast-tack as there's very little volume up front. This iSonic is more technical to ride but once you have it dialled, blistering top speeds are easy to unlock.
Extremely fast in a straight line, especially on flat water, this year's iSonic has gone a bit more tech, aimed more at the higher level of rider. This sets it a bit further away from the Futura.

Where I stayed
Wal-Mart (Ellsworth, ME)
My first stop upon entering the park was to the beach which was creatively named, Sandy Beach. It seemed to be a popular stop and had quite a few visitors, but most stuck to the sand. On either side of the beach there were trails that led along the narrow fingers of rocky land that stretched further out into the sea and created the barrier that allows the beach to form. After wandering the trails a bit and taking a few photos from the rocks at the edge of the beach, I decided it was about time to go for a dip.
So far on my trip, I've had the wonderful luck of encountering terrible weather every time I'm near a beach on the Atlantic
I continued on the road leading through Acadia, stopping occasionally to check out various scenic points or wander a short way onto a trail (it was too hot for me to fully commit to a longer hike). Eventually, I came to a point where the park road had been closed for construction, which seems to happen to me a lot. At that point, the sun was beginning to make its descent and I decided to head over to another end of the park to try and photograph the Bass Harbor Lighthouse during the sunset. I arrived at the lighthouse and made my way out onto the precarious-looking rocks, using my tripod as a makeshift hiking pole for balance and an extra point of contact while crossing the jagged and unforgiving landscape. I set up on a cramped rock towards the water's edge and waited for the ideal light to come along, wishing I had chosen a spot where there was room to sit down. A lot of clouds had started to move in towards the evening, but the sun broke through a few times and let me get a few pictures I liked. After taking my shots, I quickly made my way back across the rocks and up to the trail before darkness set in
My next stop was to find some dinner. My plan had been to find a lobster shack, but after three strikes of driving to restaurants and finding them closed for the season, I decided to throw in the towel on that. I'm pretty sure lobster would have been just as exciting as crab for me. I think I'm just not a fan of crustaceans, and I find exoskeletons to be a very disgusting way to design a creature. With thoughts of dinner staring back at me from its eye-stalks fading in my mind, I drove onward to the small town of Millinocket for the night, and since they had no Wal-Marts within an hour's drive, I parked in the lot of a motel that was connected to a Chinese buffet.

Yesterday I spent 6 hours with 5 Scouts at the Portland International Airport. Horizon Airlines sent a plea for help during what was to be a pretty busy day at PDX with all the holiday travelers heading home.
Horizon Airlines wanted to provide an opportunity for the Scouts to "Do a Good Turn", and the plan worked.
We assisted passengers that needed help with wheel chairs, young children, and other special needs. It turned out to be a good day for the Boy Scouts of America.
Dressed in our full uniforms we pushed wheel chairs with grateful passengers to baggage claim, helped them up the stairs into the aircraft, and even kept a few children flying unaccompanied entertained for a few hours. I am sure they will remember the time spent with a few Scouts that made their travel a little easier.
At the end of the day we all felt like we had done a good thing, it was not hard work, but it was work that really helped other people.
I have traveled a lot, and luckily I have never needed assistants, but seeing the folks that needed it yesterday, I can appreciate the difficulty of those travelers with needs.
Simple things like getting from one flight to the next in a wheel chair now becomes a task. A task that required coordination, planning, communication, and then someone to assist.
Horizon Airlines really provides a great service to those with special needs, we saw that in their plan yesterday. I am glad that we could help them out.
During this holiday season, lets not forget those that have extra or special needs. Something as simple as holding a door open could make the day of someone else.
Remember.. DO A GOOD TURN DAILY… that's EVERY DAY.. not just days you are in your Scout uniform.
Happy Scouting!

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: All you're looking at here is a block of brick storefronts with apartments above them. The title Early Sunday Morning may explain the emptiness of the street, but it can't explain the emotional pull of the painting. Take a closer look. When Edward Hopper made this image in l930, he based it on a real street he knew—Seventh Avenue South in Greenwich Village. But he's made it look like any main street in any small town anywhere in America. Notice the storefront windows. They have lettering on them, yet Hopper doesn't let you make out what the letters say. Hopper is an artist of universals, not particulars; he doesn't want to be that specific. Now look up at the windows on the second floor. Begin at the left. A yellow shade is drawn; another is half raised; further along, some of the windows are covered with darker window coverings; to the right, a few more have decorative curtains. Each is slightly different, hinting at a life being lived beyond our view. In this small detail, Hopper makes us acutely aware that the people are missing from the picture. As a result, the painting communicates a sense of loneliness. At the upper right corner of the canvas, a small dark rectangle rises above the building—the suggestion of a skyscraper in the background. It doesn't catch your eye at first, but once you notice it, the tall building changes the whole picture. A threat overshadows the otherwise quiet street. Sooner or later the juggernaut of commerce and technology will eradicate a small-town way of life.

A break from textingWednesday, July 29th, 2009
Cell phones cause distractions. This is obvious from the state laws against talking on them while driving cars. It's more obvious if you read the CNN article about the teenage girl who fell into an open sewer hole while walking down the street because she was trying to text her friends.
While both of these things could be potentially dangerous, I saw something that seemed ever more dangerous the other day. As I was walking through Norwich, I saw a teen texting while riding his bike down the road. That was almost a week ago, and I swear, I've seen several more doing the same since then.
To me the problem with this scenario seems obvious, but maybe I'm just becoming judgmental in my old age. Once you pass 25, it's all downhill, right?
I'm decent at texting. I don't particularly like the texting vocab or the lack of punctuation, but I can do it fairly quickly. But for even the quickest of texters it would seem that looking down and reading the screen is a must. There in lies the problem. How exactly are you supposed to watch where you're going and text your friends at the same time. While this is dangerous when done behind the wheel, at least in a car you're surrounded by steel and secured with a seat belt. What's going to happen if you veer into oncoming traffic while riding a bike? The answer isn't pleasant.
Being able to talk to your friends any time and anywhere you go can be fun, but no one needs to be so accessible that they can't take a five minute break from the digital world.

Position papers: New Franklin mayor
10/24/2013 - South Side Leader
Al Bollas (incumbent) vs. Terry Harget vs. Bob Lockhart
Voters living in New Franklin will vote for one candidate for mayor in the Nov. 5 General Election. The race is nonpartisan. The information provided below was submitted by the candidates, with their responses to our questions printed as submitted.
Al Bollas (incumbent)
Why are you running for mayor?
"Because I enjoy helping people and making our community the best it can be."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
"a) Find a grocery company to open a store.
"b) Find senior housing for those residents who want to stay in New Franklin but can't maintain a house any longer.
"c) Continue to find solutions for our flooding problems."
Terry Harget
Why are you running for mayor?
"I am the current Ward 2 Councilman for the City of New Franklin, two years ago several of our citizens asked me why I was not running for Mayor, I explained to all that they had to wait two years until we elect a Mayor. It has been two years and I am running for Mayor at this time."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"So many of the fine Citizens of our great City has told me that it is time for a change. I asked them if they would like to give me a chance and they said where do I sign. I asked what would you like to see changed? Less taxation, we need to try for some new business in the City, It just is not that easy without sewer and water I told them, it would be great to increase the employment rate and bring in more tax money. I am encouraging more citizens to come to the meetings and give us suggestions and let us know what they want. These meeting that are held on the first and third Wednesday of the month are open to all I want them to come and let us know what they need, what they care about or what they dislike. If I am elected Mayor I will have an open door policy, stop in and ask your questions and let us know what it is that you have to say. This is your City and you put us in office tell so tell me or the Council your ideas or worries or we can help."
Bob Lockhart
Why are you running for mayor?
"I am running for mayor because I have the expertise and know-how to grow the City of New Franklin. My years of experience as a business owner and former elected official make me the most qualified among the candidates. I have the flexibility to commit the time needed to run the city as well as the key skills required to consult on many areas of the city's administrative and operational functions.
"After a career in the private sector as a construction company owner, I understand that our city, like a business, needs to run in an effective and efficient manner. Because of my professional experience, I have a keen understanding of New Franklin's infrastructure and economy. My livelihood is built on accurately running jobs that improve our area's landscapes, highways and utilities. These are the very improvements as a city we are charged with implementing in a meaningful and cost effective way.
"In addition, I served as a township trustee for the former Franklin Township for 21 years. During that time, I did contract negotiation with vendors and the labor force, city planning, and much more to improve our community. I also worked to procure grants and facilitated partnerships with local corporations and surrounding municipalities as well as Summit County, saving resources and tax dollars. Additionally, I served as the mayor of the Village of New Franklin for 7 years before we became a city. I helped plan our city charter, worked with emergency services and much more."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"As a lifetime resident of this area, I have worked with many different stakeholders in the community. Whether it was 10, 20 or 30 years ago, the players may have changed but the principles behind running a municipality have not. I will be a responsible, trustworthy and prudent steward of our city's resources.
"The money in our city's budget is not imaginary. It belongs to hardworking families who take pride in our schools, the retired couples who worked hard to pay off their home so they could adjust to a fixed income, and the business owners who continue to stay committed to New Franklin, no matter the curve ball that come from our tough economy. All of these stakeholders must be considered and heard.
"Specifically, my top three priorities when entering office would be to examine all areas of our budget and look for places to increase efficiencies and save tax dollars. New Franklin is not the cheapest place to live, and we need ensure we are not coming back to residents for new tax money ever. I would also review our city's maintenance programs. From the flooding issues residents are facing to the way we repair our roads — my expertise will help us design the best solutions possible. Lastly, I would work to enhance our tax base with strategic partnerships with businesses that either do business in our community or use our highways to move their business through Summit County."

Very nice apartment near Alexander Platz. The property owner was very helpful, and all the indications for the reservation very clear.
Very nice apartment near trains in a nice part of Berlin. Really helpful landlords
Nice an tidy appartment, close to communication just 5 minutes walk. Recommend this place !
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice apartment in a decent location
strategic location close to the metro station sudkreuz.Quartiere quiet and hot servito.Appartamento and accogliente.Grazie Ben x having us
This Loft was great. Very spacious and well appointed. Nice quiet building easy check in. The kitchen was adequately equipped but bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The neighborhood had lots to offer and was really close to shopping and the U Ban. I highly recommend this place.
My experience with Windu was less than straightforward. The web site said your credit card would be billed upon check in. Not true, it was billed at the time of the booking. A notice after booking tells you of additional taxes that are assessed. I assumed this is what would be billed upon check-in but evidently one is suppose to leave cash behind to cover it. Attempts to resolve this with the owner were complicated by the web site which refused to send my messages because it would not recognize my phone number.
Found this apartment very disappointing in comparision with others we have rented in the city. It was very dark and gloomy and extremely meagre in terms of towels, and kitchen equipment provided. The nearest shops for basic supplies were at least 10 minutes walk away, unusual for Berlin.
Very nice apartment. Easy to get access to by the information via E-mail. Clean and well equipped. Big up for being on the groundfloor.
The apartment was gorgeous, very spacious, kid friendly and conveniently located! I would definitely recommend. If you want the baby cot you should notify Ben in advance.

For high impact activities such as running, tennis, gym workouts and high intensity training, you will need maximum support that reduces vertical and lateral bounce but allows for freedom in upper body movement.

" Was generally attracted to these headphones by the wooden look and the odd buds at the end. Fifteen minutes later I was fairly shocked at the big package I got in such a small one. While these are great for portability, they are annoying when they get tangles (but that happens to all of them unless they are self retractable). All in all, great earbuds. " --thatnewguy15

Mmm! Warm spicy homemade scones are kissed with a lemon glaze! Treat yourself to easy-to-make sweets.
If you like, you can omit the glaze. Before baking, brush the dough with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Instead of the glaze, make a tangy Lemon Butter to serve with the Gingerbread Wedges. Stir together 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened, 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until well blended. Sprinkle with chopped crystallized ginger or lemon peel.

The cornea is the clear covering of the eye over the colored iris and the pupil.
Corneal transplantation is recommended for:
Corneal transplant is done with the patient awake and pain-free (local anesthesia). An incision is made around the outer edge of the cornea.
The damaged cornea is removed and the corneal graft is stitched in place. The corneal graft is a transplant from a brain dead donor maintained on life support.
Transplanted corneas have a long life expectancy. The benefits of corneal transplant are significant, and include significant improvement in vision.

SF activists mark Katrina anniversary with Big Oil protest
After playing dead on top of oil-black plastic sheets outside a Chevron office, protesters marched through downtown San Francisco on Monday to denounce "oil addiction" on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, as the U.S. Gulf Coast recovers from its more recent disaster. About 100 marchers, drawn from activist groups ranging from Code Pink to the Rainforest Action Network, took part in the "Climate Justice" protest to demand that BP pay to clean up the mess in the Gulf and that the industry clean up its act in general. (BP has agreed to set aside $20 billion for spill damage claims and to pay all legitimate losses related to the spill.) Protestors also called for "real solutions" after briefly blocking the entrance to the headquarters of Chevron Energy Solutions, the oil giant's solar power arm. "Let's get power from the sun: oil is over, oil is done," the marchers chanted, on their way to the local branch of the Environmental Protection Agency and then to a BP office.
Some of them wore bright white jumpsuits splattered with molasses to simulate oil stains. At first, half a dozen motorcycle cops tried in vain to herd the marchers on to the sidewalk amid busy lunchtime traffic, before agreeing on a route and escorting them to the EPA. Many tourists, out enjoying the mild sunny weather, snapped photos for posterity as the march passed by world-famous cable cars at the end of California Street, with one declaring excitedly: "Oh, a San Francisco protest — I got to get this."

Quoting StormW:
I meant I was for some disagreeing, so that we can see different viewpoints, and so the blog wouuldn't be boring.
Member Since: Posts: Comments:
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:18 PM GMT on August 04, 2009
A tropical disturbance embedded in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), near 9N 35W, is moving west at about 15 mph. The heavy thunderstorm activity associated with this tropical wave has changed little over the past 24 hours, and remains disorganized. This morning's QuikSCAT pass showed a moderate wind shift, but nothing resembling an organized surface circulation. Top winds were in the 20 - 30 mph range. Strong easterly winds are creating about 20 knots of wind shear over the wave, which is marginally conducive for development. The disturbance is about 300 miles south of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), so dust and dry air should not hinder development over the next few days.
Given the disturbance's current lack of organization, combined with the presence of 20 knots of wind shear, any development should be slow to occur. The forecast wind shear along the storm's path over the next five days is predicted to remain at or below 20 knots, which should allow some slow development. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) will warm from about 28°C to 29°C as the storm progresses westward. The GFS model has been indicating some development is possible in several of its runs over the past few days, but has not been consistent with this prediction. None of the other models show any development of the system. NHC is giving the disturbance a low (less than 30% chance) of developing into a tropical depression over the next two days, which is a good forecast. The GFS and ECMWF models predict the system will be approaching the northern Lesser Antilles Islands by Sunday. Both models forecast the development of a band of very high wind shear just to the north of the islands at that time, so the long-range survival of anything that might manage to develop is in doubt.
CSU forecast team continues to predict an average hurricane season
A near-average Atlantic hurricane season is on tap for 2009, according to the seasonal hurricane forecast issued August 4 by Dr. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray of Colorado State University (CSU). The CSU team is calling for 10 named storms, 4 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) 83% of average. Between 1950 - 2000, the average season had 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. But since 1995, the beginning of an active hurricane period in the Atlantic, we've averaged 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 intense hurricanes per year. The new forecast is a step down from their June forecast, which called for 11 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. Their April forecast called for 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. The new forecast calls for a near-average chance of a major hurricane hitting the U.S., both along the East Coast (27% chance, 31% chance is average) and the Gulf Coast (26% chance, 30% chance is average). The Caribbean is also forecast to have an average risk of a major hurricane (37%; 42% is average).
The forecasters noted that while sea surface temperature anomalies have increased in the tropical Atlantic and surface pressures have fallen in recent weeks, which normally would favor higher hurricane activity, the presence of El Niño conditions in the Eastern Pacific should counteract these influences. They forecast that the current weak El Niño event will strengthen to a moderate event by September:
El Niño events tend to be associated with increased levels of vertical wind shear and decreased levels of Atlantic hurricane activity. Tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures anomalies have warmed somewhat since our early June prediction and surface pressures have fallen somewhat. But, the negative influences of El Niño-induced strong Caribbean Basin and Main Development Region vertical wind shear typically dominate over surface pressure and sea surface temperature in the tropical Atlantic.

Analogue years
The CSU team picked four previous years when atmospheric and oceanic conditions were similar to what we are seeing this year: weak to moderate El Niño conditions, and average tropical Atlantic and far northern Atlantic SSTs. Those four years were 2002, which featured Hurricane Lili that hit Louisiana as a Category 1 storm; 1965, which had Category 3 Betsy that hit New Orleans; 1963, which had Category 4 Hurricane Flora that devastated Cuba; and 1957, which didn't have any hurricanes that hit hit land during the peak part of hurricane season. The mean activity for these four years was 9 named storms, 4 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes--almost the same as the 2009 CSU forecast.
How accurate are the August forecasts?
The August forecasts by the CSU team have historically offered a skill of 45 -62% higher than a "no-skill" forecast using climatology (Figure 2). However, they are using a new forecast scheme this year, so it is difficult to judge how skillful this year's forecast might be.
Figure 2. Accuracy of long-range forecasts of Atlantic hurricane season activity performed at Colorado State University (CSU) by Dr. Bill Gray's team (colored squares) and Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. (TSR, colored lines). The skill is measured by the Mean Square Skill Score (MSSS), which looks at the error and squares it, then compares the percent improvement the forecast has over a climatological forecast of 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. TS=Tropical Storms, H=Hurricanes, IH=Intense Hurricanes, ACE=Accumulated Cyclone Energy, NTC=Net Tropical Cyclone Activity. Image credit: TSR.
August 2009 Atlantic hurricane season forecast from Tropical Storm Risk, Inc.
The British private forecasting firm Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. (TSR) also issued a new forecast today, and have increased their numbers by 20% from their June and July forecasts. TSR is also calling for a near-average season, predicting 12.6 named storms, 6.5 hurricanes, 2.8 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) 103% of average. Their June forecast called for 10.9 named storms, 5.2 hurricanes, 2.2 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) 72% of average. The storm numbers are slightly above the 50-year average of 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. TSR predicts a 40% chance of an above-average season, 44% chance of a near-average season, and a 19% chance of a below-average season, as defined by ACE index. TSR rates their skill level as 51% above chance at forecasting the number of named storms, 60% skill for hurricanes, and 44% skill for intense hurricanes. These are far higher skill numbers than the June ones: 26% above chance at forecasting the number of named storms, 15% skill for hurricanes, and 19% skill for intense hurricanes.
TSR projects that 3.8 named storms will hit the U.S., with 1.6 of these being hurricanes. The averages from the 1950-2008 climatology are 3.2 named storms and 1.5 hurricanes. Their skill in making these August forecasts for U.S. landfalls is 25% above chance. In the Lesser Antilles Islands of the Caribbean, TSR projects 1.1 named storms, 0.5 of these being hurricanes. Climatology is 1.1 named storms and 0.5 hurricanes.
TSR cites one main factor for their increased forecast: higher sea surface temperatures than expected over the tropical Atlantic, due to the fact that the trade winds over the Atlantic should be slower than originally anticipated. Faster than average trade winds create less spin for developing storms, and allow the oceans to cool down, due to increased mixing of cold water from the depths and enhanced evaporational cooling.
The CSU and TSR groups are done making forecasts for the coming hurricane season, but NOAA is still due to put out an August update.
I'll have an update on Wednesday.

What he actually said was that there was a section of the electorate that was not going to vote for him no matter what and that he couldn't waste resources trying to get their vote. Of course it was spun that he didn't care about those people, but much of his personal history would indicate that he might actually care about his fellow man. If you want to know what I'm referencing, look up his charitable donations, and his other personal good works.

What does Obama have in common with the middle class working man? Obama ran on the fact that he would only raise taxes on those making over 250K, but now everyone will pay the price. Thats something he knew all along, never once while he was running did he say, if we dont get the fiscal cliff issue resolved middle class taxes will be going up, in fact at the debate his words were "the fiscal cliff wont happen". So he can skip his $40K Xmas trip to Hawaii, stay here and come up with a solution.

There is far more in Romney's work history to indicate that he is probably more in touch with working class people than Obama will ever be or ever has been.
I can agree that Romney was not effective in getting that message to the electorate.
You might say that the 47% voted as anticipated; and another 3% of the electorate voted for the belief that they should support re-distribution of wealth because it was the right thing to do or because they have special interests that will stand to profit from the expansion of govt. It's no secret that some socialists and some communists are taxpayers. Some of them are actually quite wealthy ... just look at how many of them are in Obama's cabinet posts or czars on his staff.

This hotel was booked seperately from the flight, and on reccomendation,
it was excellent in every way and the bar prices much cheaper than
anywhere else locally.
Highly reccomended for a quiet holiday.
Myself and my partner stayed in Illetas at the Barcelo Albatros on 01 June 2007 for two weeks. We found the hotel very clean and they swimming pool area was excellent there were always sunbeds available whatever time of the day. They also have a indoor swimming pool and Jacuzi which was nice. The gym was on the small side it only had a treadmill, crosstrainer and a bike. The rooms seemed a little dated but the sea view made up for that. I would definatley request a sea view for anyone staying their we was on the 6th floor and the view was magnificent. The hotel was also in an ideal location the bus no 3 takes you into Palma and takes around 20 minutes and is 1.10euros. Its definaltey not a place to go if you want nightlife the hotel lacks in evening entertainment and the bar area always seemed quite with not much atmosphere. We where bed and breakfast and the breakfasts where buffet style which were nice and the waiting staff seemed friendly. I would recommend the Playa Illetas for dinner the food was good and very reasonable. Overall we had a nice relaxing stay and the weather was fantastic.
southend on sea
We chose this hotel as we had stayed in a Barcelo hotel in the Canaries and were impressed with that. We stayed here for a week and apart from our first night, when two chaps in the room next to ours spent most of the early hours swearing loudly from the balcony, we had a wonderful time. Thankfully, these chaps checked out on our second day, so peace and quiet ensued. The hotel is located on the shoreline of Palma Bay and I still reckon it to be a prettier bay than Sorrento and Key Largo. The views were great. The standard of accommodation was good. There was little entertainment, but this didn't bother us as we make our own fun. It was easy to get into Palma, which we did a few times as the bus stops close to the hotel, and runs regularly. The food was plentiful, with much variety. The waiting staff were attentive, and responded well if you tried a little Spanish, even poor Spanish!! Will definitely return to this hotel when we next go to Mallorca.

This is a beautiful hotel, of a high standard, in a lovely quiet location on its own small beach. The food was excellent, the champagne breakfasts especially so! (Lanarkshire)

It seems that a few people finally noticed that Kristy was way ahead of Martha and the other followers when she made me a wii cake. Of course followers are always welcome, especially when they bring cake.
Compasses - Moral or Otherwise
My friend Gregory Collins will soon be starting production on his first feature film The Melvin Mills Document and I'm incredibly excited by the news. Gregory is one of the most interesting and determined people I know and I'm sure his efforts will be fruitful. If you'd like to be part of the harvest, the project is still hoping to find some additional funding so don't hesitate to follow up with him.
Spot Check
It has been an exciting week for F-Spot. Andrzej Wytyczak-Partyka had his proposal for Face Detection and Tagging accepted in the Google Summer of Code program. Stephane Delcroix helped him get his proposal ready and I'd like to congratulate them both. Stephane also committed his work to start integrating Mono.Addins into the F-Spot core which once completed will make extending and experimenting with F-Spot much easier.
For my part I've been working on a new design for the import process that will hopefully solve some of the long standing issues I (and many, many others) have with the current system. A good week.
Kristy has finally started documenting the various things she's been making. If you want to see beautiful eggs or get the inside story on the Wii cake it is well worth the visit.
Time goes by
In what I choose to view as an homage to my purity of essence Christian reminded me today that I've been doing this GNOME thing for a frighteningly long time. I wonder what the next decade will bring.

I released F-Spot 0.2.2 today. It's better than ever so drop everything and give it a whirl.
So much has been happening the world of F-Spot that I won't try to cover everything now. I do however want to touch on a few highlights. Most visibly, the work Gabriel Burt has been doing on a new query interface has finally become part of F-Spot. You can find a good description of the new interface at his blog and if you were lucky enough to be at the Boston summit you may have seen his demo. The new interface is major improvement over the old but expect several revisions as we try to streamline and polish it.
The query interface is hardly the only thing new in 0.2.2, Stephane has been fixing so many problems large and small that it is hard to keep up with him. This includes doing the work to move F-Spot to the new managed dbus-sharp bindings. So if you were having dbus related problems before it would be a good time to try things out again. Of course if you start having problems please speak up.
That's all I have time to cover for now but there is much more I'll go over in the future. Until then enjoy the new release and a little bit of fall.
In a fit of whimsy I released f-spot 0.2.1 today it includes support for exporting to Picasa web albums written by Gonzalo and Stephane and much more.
Robert finally annouced his new position. Are you ready?
Red letter day
This is the best news I've heard in a while. It's very nice to have F-Spot and the other mono apps gain new users and see the gnome desktop move a little closer to a shared vision. On a personal level it also feels good when you can convince yourself that your vote counts.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Ole Miss celebrated Black Friday with a 91-45 men's basketball thrashing of Lipscomb before a crowd of 4,591 at Tad Smith Coliseum.
In retail terms, the Rebels' skill, athleticism and depth has purchased them five straight wins – and now a rest, before what may be a stronger test a week from today against Rutgers in the Big East-SEC Challenge.
The Rebels' five wins have come by an average victory margin of 33.2 points.
tough games ahead
"We have two very difficult games upcoming. We have to take our best moments and some of the things we've seen both offensively and defensively and be able to sustain it," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "I'm anxious to see who we are. I think Rutgers will be an opportunity for us to see that."
After facing Rutgers, the Rebels are off for another week before their first road game at Middle Tennessee State.
Ole Miss was plagued by a slow start earlier in the week against McNeese State, but that wasn't the case after Thanksgiving.
Junior college transfer guard Marshall Henderson hit his first 3-pointer, and the Rebels sprinted to leads of 17-2 and 30-7.
One thing that was similar to the McNeese game is that it wasn't a high-percentage 3-point night for Henderson, who missed his next four 3-point attempts and finished 2 for 12 behind the arc.
There was more than enough production, however. Ole Miss was the superior team in the post and played like it with Murphy Holloway going strong to the rim, and Reggie Buckner blocking and altering shots.
Holloway had game-highs of 23 points and eight rebounds; Buckner contributed 10 points, seven rebounds and five blocks.
Nick Williams was 3 for 4 from 3-point range and finished with 14 points.
While Henderson wasn't knocking down 3s, he still filled up a stat line with 10 points, seven rebounds, five assists and no turnovers in 23 minutes.
The Rebels forced 26 turnovers and collected 20 steals, six by freshman Martavious Newby.
"I was really pleased with the way we came out of the gate," Kennedy said. "We established ourselves early, and it was with our upperclassmen, which is what I'm most proud of."
