Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, inserted an amendment into the fourth substitute of HB228, the comprehensive liquor reform bill that would give the state auditor the authority to conduct financial audits of the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control.
Seems benign enough, right?
But that would be the same John Valentine who last year sponsored a bill that would have taken the authority for overseeing financial audits of the DABC away from the state auditor and would have given it instead to an independent CPA who would have answered to a commission, not to the auditor.
So what changed?
Last year, the auditor was Auston Johnson, who had rankled a number of legislators for conducting some stinging audits that, shall we say, hit a little close to home.
One audit castigated the Utah Center for Applied Technology for inappropriately using state resources to build a float for the Utah County Republican Party to display in the Provo Independence Day Parade.
Legislators showed their displeasure in various ways. When they voted to give pay raises to the statewide elected office holders like auditor, treasurer, and attorney general, Johnson got less of a raise than the others.
But Johnson is no longer there.
Last year, he was defeated in the Republican primary by John Dougall, a member of the House of Representatives who enjoyed generous campaign contributions from Republican legislative PACs.
Valentine said the amendment to restore the auditor's authority was pushed by House members during a conference committee to work out differences between the House and Senate. He said that last year, it was felt the auditor was not well-equipped to do financial audits of the DABC because the auditor usually conducts audits of government agencies, and the DABC is run more like a business. Its operations are funded by revenue from liquor sales, not tax money.
He said Dougall this year made a good case for his ability to do the audits.
But then again, perhaps it's not what you know, but who you know.
Speaking of the DABC • Bar licenses are so scare that 16 applicants vied for two liquor permits during the meeting of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission this week. Some applicants have been waiting for more than two years to get a so-called club permit allowing bartenders to mix drinks in public view rather than behind a Zion curtain or in a back room and for customers to get an alcoholic beverage without also ordering food.
When Commissioner Richard Sperry advocated for one bar to get one of those scarce permits, he said he was a little sheepish about his wife finding out the name of the Salt Lake City establishment that got a permit, based largely on his spirited recommendation. The place: Sin City.
Gun logic • When physician Ellen Brady wrote emails to legislators urging them to sustain Gov. Gary Herbert's veto of the bill that would allow gun owners to carry their concealed weapons without a permit, one of her arguments was that a permit requires safety training, which is a good thing.
This is the response she got from Rep. Curt Oda, R-Clearfield, the most rabid gun advocate in the Legislature:
"Thank you for your anti-liberty, anti-constitution comments. Perhaps we need to push for training upon physicians since medical errors cause more than 195,000 deaths each year in America."
Push for training upon physicians? Isn't that called medical school, plus the four to eight years in residency training, depending on your specialty?

As the U.S. economy tilted away from manufacturing in the last quarter century, it didn't take long for architects and developers to convert factory floors to loft apartments. Another building type which is just as ubiquitous has proven more difficult to reimagine, however. Prisons—both urban and rural—carry a much stronger moral charge than factories in terms of what they represent and their function in society. Prison-reform politics aside, states increasingly face oversized prison systems. "New York just closed seven; Colorado's closing two; Michigan in the last decade has closed 22," says Tracy Huling, a Soros Justice Fellow who helps governments, justice advocates, and rural community leaders identify and spread best practices in closing and repurposing prisons. "Stricter sentencing and other policies made us too quick to lock people up," says Liz Minnis, AIA, a Massachusetts deputy commissioner for planning and design, and chair of the AIA's Academy of Architecture for Justice (AAJ).
Despite the closings, there are currently more than 2 million Americans behind bars, on parole, or on probation. As prison populations grew in the last decade (Bureau of Justice Statistics notes an average annual increase of the federal prison population of 1.6 percent), larger prisons came along.
"So now," says Minnis, "as the rate of incarceration is decreasing in many states and the federal government, we have these sites that are hard to redevelop."
"For the first time in 40 years, the population in prisons has leveled off," says Stephen Carter, a city planner and president of the CGL Companies Development Services Division, a justice facilities consultancy. Carter, who writes a column for Correctional News, says these massive facilities may stay "less crowded" as economic straits and smaller police forces mean fewer arrests. He also points out that the notion that prison is an effective deterrent for crime has slowly shifted. "There has been a gradual adjustment in the attitude of Americans to conclude that incarceration alone has not worked."
The sites of old prisons are unforgiving. "Supermax prisons," so-called for their high level of security and 5,000 or more beds, have lost traction in state budgeting over the past few years as governors reassess their costs and scholars reappraise their effects. The culture of crime and punishment now in the U.S. is about re-evaluating the idea of locking up convicts for life in huge rural prisons.
It's a set of social questions as well as architectural ones. How do new models of prisoner rehabilitation inform the physical form of correctional facilities and their landscapes? If states mothball some of their prisons, can those vast, fortress-like facilities have a new life?
Good Bones
Incarceration is not a new idea. But the architectural forms it has taken have shifted in the last 200 years. Facilities such as Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia (based on Jeremy Bentham's "Panopticon"), Sing Sing in Ossining, N.Y. (based on the Auburn system, which favored prisoner isolation), and through the efforts of social reformers like Alexander Paterson (who favored open, community-based arrangements), the dual concepts of punishment and rehabilitation became inextricably linked.
Across the board, architects have strong feelings about the ethics of incarceration, and a majority opposes involving their profession in the design of prisons. But what about the design of prisons for new uses?
Older urban lockups have retained enough of their grandeur to be adapted for today's downtowns. The handsome granite walls of Boston's Charles Street Jail, designed by Gridley J.F. Bryant and completed in 1851, now contain the luxe Liberty Hotel (ironically named) with—among other amenities—a bar called Clink. But most of today's budget-minded prisons—urban or otherwise, built over the last 25 years—are designed with less nobility, Spartan finishes, and humble (if expensive) materials. Carter notes that the biggest conundrum is the often steel-reinforced concrete wall systems, which are not really designed for anything beyond containing bodies securely. Of course, Gridley Bryant might not have envisioned a future hotel space when he designed the Charles Street Jail, but if you start with good bones you have a better chance of adapting them.
If newer supermax prisons go the way of the Liberty Hotel, however, their reuse is more fraught than it might be for historic structures such as San Francisco's Alcatraz and Philadelphia's Eastern Penitentiary. Carter suggests their most obvious adaptation is as a storage facility—as U-Haul and other companies have done with industrial buildings across the country. Another possibility is data-storage or data-processing centers, given the high degree of environmental control that prisons offer. Other options include community colleges (once cells are removed) and artist studios (in which individual cells may be an asset).
Before a programmatic reorientation, though, prisons are subject to economic and social reorientation. Identifying the best possible use of a former prison (in terms of everything from job creation to environmental impact) is a multiyear process that centers on larger questions about private enterprise and the public good.
Tracy Huling speaks admiringly of the mayor of Warwick, N.Y., for creating a citizens' advisory panel that interviewed everybody from local merchants to police to find a path forward for the Mid-Orange Correctional Facility, which closed in 2011. The closure was part of the state's $50 million reinvestment initiative to stoke development around obsolete prison sites. "It's important to demonstrate that prisons can be closed without destroying communities," says Huling, noting research showing that—while the presence of prisons does long-term harm—in the short-term, communities are concerned about the loss of jobs and benefits. "In some states, that concern has led to bringing public prisons back on line or selling closed public facilities to for-profit prison corporations, instead of carefully considering non-prison options."
To date, private prison companies, including Corrections Corporation of America and the GEO Group, operate upwards of 250 facilities across the United States, including existing structures and new buildings. While these for-profit companies can be cheaper alternatives for cash-strapped states, Huling notes that they complicate the question of long-term good for communities. Through her Soros Fellowship, Huling has begun championing a deliberative process for deciding what to do with decommissioned prison property in terms of producing the best possible outcomes for communities economically, socially, physically, and spiritually. She points to the redevelopment of former military bases, and to the work of architects like Raphael Sperry, AIA, another new Soros fellow and principal at San Francisco–based Simon and Associates, as well as of the New Orleans–based planning and design firm Concordia.
Still, there seems to be a new opportunity somewhere between privatizing a prison (and conjuring a more robust model of incarceration that centers on rehabilitation) and redeveloping a prison site for other uses. "There are benefits to prerelease counseling and re-entry training," says Minnis. "And when this is the focus, you want to build more-normative environments, such as storefronts and halfway houses, which is very different from most of what was built in the expansion." Minnis and her colleagues in the AAJ will take up this theme in next month's "Community Dialogue," a conference to be held in Toronto that will focus on how justice facilities hold up a mirror to the societies that build them.
But in the long view for prisons, adaptive reuse is going to be about social reform as much as it will be about planning reform. Just as most people have the capacity to shift gears, most building types—including prisons—have the potential for reinvention. -Alec Appelbaum

Location: Vegetable Crops ResearchTitle: Potato, viruses, and seed certification in the USA to provide healthy propagated tubers Author

|Halterman, Dennis
Submitted to: Pest Technology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/14/2011
Publication Date: 8/13/2012
Citation: Verchot-Lubicz, J., Charkowski, A., Halterman, D.A. 2012. Potato, viruses, and seed certification in the USA to provide healthy propagated tubers . Pest Technology. 6(1):1-14. Interpretive Summary: Viruses are debatably the most important class of pathogens of potato and can limit marketable yield by up to 80% in some cases. Breeding for resistance to viruses is an important part of combating these diseases. There is currently a large body of information on the subject of potato viruses and we decided it would be beneficial to summarize this information and make it available for researchers interested in potato virus diseases and the resistance traits that are available. Potato researchers and breeders will benefit from this review article through a better understanding of the basis of potato virus diseases and resistance.
Technical Abstract: In general, potato is an intensively managed crop, requiring irrigation, fertilization, and frequent pesticide applications in order to obtain the highest yields possible. In the past, breeding programs focused primarily on improving yield and ignored the many diseases that can afflict potatoes, especially viral diseases. Viral diseases of potato can cause severe yield losses, effect tuber quality in a manner that prevents marketability, and are easily transmitted through tubers and vegetative propagation of the plants. Tubers play an important role in the spread of virus disease and this has led many regions to develop seed certification programs. The most important viruses in the USA include Potato virus Y (PVY) Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus S (PVS), tobacco rattle virus (TRV), and alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV). The purpose of this review is to discuss the recent findings related to potato virus characterization and identification of resistance traits in potato germplasm.

Robin van Persie is ready for the Arsenal captaincy.
The Dutch forward has been appointed as successor to Cesc Fabregas, who left Emirates Stadium for Barcelona this week. Van Persie will not lead Arsenal out against Udinese - he serves a UEFA one-match suspension on Tuesday night - but will reclaim the armband when Liverpool visit north London on Saturday.
Van Persie has been at Arsenal for seven years and is approaching his peak. The Dutch international has 'grown up' since he joined the Club and is now relishing the extra responsibility that captaincy brings.
"As captain you are an ambassador for the Club and I'm ready for that," Van Persie told the Official Matchday Programme. "I've been in the game now for more than ten years, so I know how this world works.
"When I was 18 I didn't have a clue! Every day I was always surprised by something, when I went to training or when I had a game, every day was just one big surprise for me. How people reacted after the game – the fans, players, media – it was all a surprise to me, I was just thinking about playing football.
"But now I know how things work and I understand that certain actions have consequences. I know that quite well, I feel experienced, so I feel ready for this. I know that every single player represents their club anyway, everywhere you are, 24/7. I've been dealing with it for a few years now, so I know what my part is.
"You should always try to show respect, and this is just basic stuff that all human beings should have in their life – just being nice to people. It's the little things, like giving people a minute of your time in the street, you show them respect, and live with your principles on life."

Your craftmanship is beyond reproach. But you counting skills may lack. 60 come before 61.
Great. Now I'm in trouble with the missus. :(
When I saw this I let out a w00t in my outside voice and woke the baby.
It wouldn't be so bad but the baby is still inside her. ;)
Amazing work Terry. Thank you so much.
I can't wait to get it in my hands.
I'm going to slobber on it like a drunk pirate. Adds to the weathering.
At least you know people are paying attention to your work. I always check out your show off threads, and for some reason on these two I paid attention to the numbers.
Just so you know when I start my Boba one of your ammo belts will be at the top of my must have pieces.
Ah man. I just posted in the sale thread that your belt is ready, and left a link to this thread for you to see it. I see you already found it.
I'm glad you like the belt. It ships out in the morning.
Terry, your work is absolutely amazing! :thumbsup cant wait to get my hands on one of these babies! :love:love these belts are certainly top notch, and amoung the best, if not THE best out there...:cheers they just keep getting better and better! well, maybe i just love this one so much cause it's ESB...;):p:thumbsup
I received my belt today.
It may be some time before I can comment.
It's just that good.
If you were holding back on one of these then stop. Click on the Boo Boo Fett PM button thingy and open up a dialogue with Terry (he's probably the best communicator I've ever had the pleasure to deal with) and get your order going.
Thank you so much Mr Boo Boo.
And he stands behind his work 100% well worth the $

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Proustable, Jan 20, 2013.
Maybe just a little sitting ovation .. polite applause and a smile. Nothing fancy.
I noticed some new interesting things in Carmen. First of all, I finally realized what has always been hitting me in the very opening pose: Scott is in the same position of a gunfighter of Western movies, aka Spaghetti Western ( it is as though a deathly duel is starting, which makes my imagination run wild since the most celebrated and melodramatic love story set in the Old West is "Duel in the sun", with the unforgettable finale where Jennifer Jones and Gregory Peck kills each other and then passionately kiss while dying ( love = death. yep, there is a little bit of this in Carmen. And, oh, Im not sure if its a new addition, but have you seen the way her blink when his hand caress her leg, wow, it is so sensual. Tiny details like this are even more impressive then the more explicit moves (i.e. sex is born from the eyes)
Second, Im happy to see that the Habanera is really danced here, its a dark rendition of course, but you still get the impression that its a dance, which never happens in your typical Carmen program. Even if we know that this opening dancing is basically the beginning of the end for them, you can feel the excitement and wild happiness of a Spanish folk feast, and in this respect her dress is perfect. Im glad she hasnt changed it. Dressed like that, she reminds me of the dark female figures in Goyas paintings. Actually, the whole program has a Goyan vibration.
Not only a true Habanera, they also convey the feeling of the Corrida (that is part of the original story as we all now) but here were not sure which of the two is the bull and who is the matador. Now, I detest the Corrida, but here the violence, the blood, the sacrifice of the bull is elevated into a symbolic (and erothic) sphere.
Last little remark, they added piano sounds to the end of the flower song. Its a little bit bizzarre because it doesnt sound very in tune with the last echoes of the piece (
nicer than the audience at nice (because IIRC i think they booed v/m?)
After reading the above, it saddens me to learn that's how you feel, PDeb. I understand that you take a lot of pride in the skaters from your country (as do most skating fans), but I was under the impression that you were a fan of figure skating as a sport, and that you could and would show appreciation for well-skated programs, regardless of the skater's/team's nationality.
That type of planned display in the audience (the one in your post quoted above) is the kind of classless behavior I would expect from someone like Lissa, who seizes any opportunity to make one venomous post after another about Davis and White. Although you don't engage in that level of hatred and spewing of bile, if you're seriously intending to engage in the above behavior at the upcoming World Championships, I apparently was wrong regarding my opinion of you, and that's a disappointment -- I thought you were a better person than that.
tbh if i had to watch ND live, i'd prolly need a stiff drink as well.
Dont take this too serious/ It was just joke. From what i see on TV there is very warm audience in Canada - they support good skating and give standing ovations often. When in some other countries (like in USA) they gave standing ovations only for skaters from there country.
This alwayse will be people who will made crazy things. But in Nice some fans from USA (old ladies) didnt gave any applauds to V-M. Isnt this werid?
So I wonder if Eurosport will cover the Nationals & we can hear what they have to say about the changes......
I didn't notice the audience in Nice too much because it has no bearing on how I view V/M, although it's always nice to hear/see their work being appreciated.
And on another note, it's always easy to judge people when you're just an anonymous person behind a computer screen. It's like Scott and Tessa have said about people making assumptions about them based on the programs they skate. Let's try to reserve judgment on others based on something they've written (probably with tongue in cheek) on a figure skating forum.
I think people get too upset too easily about silly tongue in cheek remarks. We will be fortunate indeed to have all these teams competing in London, and I'm sure there will be SO's for everyone who deserves it
I am sure you will Not like at last season at 4CC americans just ignore VM
We've been practicing for months.
This old ladies tongues and cheeks are bad with other things Who care if you sit or stand or sleep when give ovation or not give ovaton? there is lot off people in arena. You not only one celebritis in stand. if you sit and someone in front of you stand the views is bloked but your seat will be hot. You can stand if you will feel hot with Carmen then cool air will come and cool old ladys seats
After watching the fd a couple more times I have to say that I don't like the music change they've made in the middle of the program... I think it sounds weird
Wow this thread is a mess.
Marikat when I first realized what they did with the music I didn't really like it either (I wonder what made them do that cuz it was better before), but now it's kinda growing on me.
I have a really stupid question. How Tessa and Scott's spin could even be level 4 if there is no change of direction, or change of foot? I hadn't noticed this before, but I reread the rules, and, according to them, if there's no change of direction in the spin, it must have "4 different difficult variations from 3 different basic positions" (with at least 2 rotations in each variation) to be considered level 4. If there are just 3 different difficult variations from 3 different basic positions (with at least 2 rotations in each variation), then it must have a change of direction. Otherwise, if there are 3 different difficult variations without change of direction, it's level 3. And a combination spin must have both a change of foot (obviously, otherwise it's not a combination spin), and a change of direction (plus, at least 3 rotations in each variation) to get level 4 if there are just 3 different difficult variations. Again, without change of direction, it's level 3. So, honestly, I don't understand this. Or am I totally missing something?
Nationals are usually only broadcast in their own country. I doubt they will be broadcast outside of Canada. I've never heard of Eurosport showing any nationals from any country. They sometimes broadcast 4CC, so maybe we will get their opinions on the changes then.
I tried to post earlier but my session timed out and my post was lost. Aargh.
It was a great weekend of skating, lots of highs (and a few lows, like P/I's fall in the FD and Amelie's struggles). I won't make any comments about the judging or judging system, because it's kind of immaterial to my enjoyment of the skating itself in this case. Re: Carmen, I found it thrilling to watch because they've captured some of the things I most appreciate in contemporary and classical dance off the ice – superb technique supporting physical movement that tells a fundamental story, expressing the emotions of the story in a visceral way. The movements have meaning, they have great detail, and they work in tandem with the music all the way. So difficult, and so beautifully done. Very happy they've gone this route.
Off the ice? IDK, Marina has a little dog that she carries in a designer bag which has a small plastic inset for the doggie to see out. She walked by me as I was standing in line in the concourse and I wondered what that odd pattern was on the end of her very chic bag, then when she stopped a few feet away I saw that it was the dog's face pressed up against the plastic. The dance practice at the community rink seemed very friendly. Before practice, Scott was joking around with Patrice Lauzon and Aaron Lowe, and Marina likewise with Carol Lane. After Tessa and Scott took their FD starting position Tessa broke character and skated off behind Scott to pick up something from the ice leaving him standing there, causing Carol Lane to call out teasingly to Scott; they both laughed. Asher Hill struggled with a couple of elements in his runthrough, including a twizzle fall IIRC, and Scott stopped to speak with him and pat him on the back. (After Asher's SD error, and remembering those earlier problems I wondered if he was sick this week. Hope that wasn't the case.) Paul MacIntosh sat with the Virtues and Moirs to watch the junior free dance, nice to see. Watching Igor with Barova/Stoll (new junior pairing), then Marina with the Hasegawas was interesting to say the least. Wonder how that went backstage.
Guess I should have added an additional icon -- the winky one. I presumed (incorrectly apparently) that the smiley one was enough for people to know my post wasn't meant to be taken seriously. It was meant to be a "funny" back at pani who had made a comment about Canadians giving a standing O to Meryl and Charlie. Apparently she understood that I was just "funning" and that it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Once again, the written word wasn't taken in the vein that it was meant and if you are offended, then I'm sorry to hear such.
As for being at World's -- well that won't be happening even though I live quite close to London. I will have to make do watching it either on my TV or the computer.
brb sobbing
Not a surprise but I would've liked to see them try for 4 world titles. I don't want them to retire at all though.
I'm not surprised either, but I'm not ready yet at all. This may be worse for me than U/Z's retirement from eligible skating in 1994. At least with them, I was able to continue to watch them on the pro-circuit. We only had about 4 tv channels, and I still got to watch them what felt like 2 or 3 times a week there for awhile!
Even though I get nervous when they compete, I've decided I'm going to go to Canadian Nationals in Ottawa next year. I think I'll regret it if I don't.
Well they didn't quite come out and say they definitely won't compete in 2014 Worlds but it does sound pretty close to being final. Drats! I understand that they need to begin the next part of their lives sooner than later but I will definitely miss them when they do leave the sport. It will be a bit less sunny in the sport for me -- at least for a while. All the more reason that I'm thankful so have seen them a few times live and here's to hoping I can get at least one more live glimpse of them next season.
I had the exact opposite reaction. The part with the music change is one of my favorite little bits of the program now.
Even though I know it coming I'm not prepared at all for it
I will sure miss seeing them skate competitively. They are by far and away my favorite skaters.
me too- I love the changes- it seems to flow better- you know I forget its ice dance- and there are elements- i just see them and the music.... i LOve this program- I actually think it really highlights scott- he just shines - with his lines and such-i usually watch tessa but with this dance i cant take my eyes off him!
I can't, I'm not ready to face this reality. How do I start preparing for the retirement of the team that basically introduced me to figure skating. Like who do I root for after they're gone (well I like more skaters now, but it's just not going to be the same). I have to find a way to travel to Canada next season to see them, even though my family will think I've lost my mind lol.
Anyways, they got made Canadian athletes of the weekend http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2013/01/21/sp-cbc-sports-canadian-athlete-of-the-weekend-tessa-virtue-scott-moir.html
Wow, what is this, our weekly lecture in morality? This is a personal attack to both Lissa and Professordeb. If you have a remark on a post please take off your preachy mask first, and I politely suggest you to take a look into the outside world to see what a "good" or a "bad" person really is.
Sorry for the unpleasant interruption. Carry on.
Me three. Love that transitional bit now. I never really ^noticed^ the transition between these segments before, but this time I went back and watched it three times. The flow in this dance is becoming superb.
I *think* theirs is not combination spin? Or am I missing something too
V/M's spin is not a combination spin. During the first three competetions this season, it was called a spin. For some reason, at this competetion, it was called a combination spin.

Women's Basketball Opens Conference Play Against UIC
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's basketball team opens up the 2014 Horizon League season, welcoming UIC to the Kress Center for a 7 p.m. tip on Wednesday.
The game will be televised locally on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel 32/1332 HD and will also be available through the Horizon League Network online.
Fans can listen live to the game on Green Bay's new radio partner, WNFL 1440 AM. The live audio with Bruce VandenPlas on the call will also be available for free via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices.
Wednesday's contest marks the 66th all-time meeting between the Phoenix and Flames, with Green Bay leading the all-time series 59-6. The Phoenix has won the last eight meetings, and has never lost a game to UIC at home (32-0).
Since joining the Horizon League in 1994 (then-Midwestern Collegiate Conference), the Phoenix is a perfect 19-0 in conference openers, including 10-0 under Head Coach Kevin Borseth. Green Bay has faced UIC in the opener on four occasions, emerging victorious during the 2001-02, 2002-03, 2006-07 and 2011-12 seasons.
Green Bay enters the game with an overall record of 7-5, recently ending a four-game skid with a commanding 72-49 win over Maine on New Year Day. The Phoenix have five different players leading the top five statistical categories, including sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) in points (10.4), senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) in rebounding (7.5), junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) in assists (4.3), freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) in steals (2.1) and freshman Mariah Monke (Fergus Falls, Minn.) in blocks (1.0).
UIC comes into Wednesday's contest atop the Horizon League standings with an overall record of 11-2. After dropping its first two games of the season, the Flames have gone on to rattle off 11 consecutive wins. UIC is off to its best 13-game start in program history, and the 11 wins is a program record for consecutive victories. UIC has three players averaging double-digit points, led by Rachel Story (19.6), Ruvanna Campbell (15.3) and Katie Hannemann (12.8). Campbell has a team-leading 10.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, while Terri Bender averages a team-best 3.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game.
1. For Starters: Green Bay opens conference action as it welcomes UIC to the Kress Center on Wednesday. Since joining the Horizon League in 1994 (then-Midwestern Collegiate Conference), the Phoenix is a perfect 19-0 in conference openers, including 10-0 under Head Coach Kevin Borseth. Green Bay has faced UIC in the opener on four occasions, emerging victorious during the 2001-02, 2002-03, 2006-07 and 2011-12 seasons. The Phoenix has also never lost a home game to UIC in program history (32-0).
2. Dish it Out: Against Maine on Jan. 1, junior Megan Lukan tied a Green Bay Division I program record with 13 assists while also not committing a turnover. Currently leading the team in assists, she has had at least one helper in all but one game this season, and four or more assists in seven of the 12 games thus far.
3. Out of the Gates: Green Bay has set the tone early in its games, outscoring the opposition by a combined 110 points (388-278) in the first half. Having been outscored by an opponent in the first half on just two occasions this season (at Duquesne and vs. Wichita State), the Phoenix is 1-1 in those contests.
4. Turnover Totals: Strong defensive play while taking care of the ball has been one of the keys to the Phoenix success this season. Green Bay currently averages 13.7 turnovers per game while forcing its competition into 20.8 turnovers per game, a differential of +7.1, good for 12th in the nation. The Phoenix received a season-high 41 points off 25 turnovers against Maine on January 1.
5. Share the Wealth: The Phoenix has seen a lot of diversity when it comes to its offensive production this season. Four of Green Bay's five starters currently rank in the top 30 in Horizon League scoring (K. Lukan, Ranger, M. Lukan, Buck), and Green Bay is one of just two teams to have four starters make the list (Cleveland State). In total, seven Phoenix have had double digit scoring games during this season and six different players have led the team in scoring.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
SBC first start up
I would prime the oil system again before start up. Here is some info to read about installing a distributor. http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w..._a_distributor
|I had the caps off for about a week or so. Still have not made final hook ups to the dryer and such. I think it would be best to remove, empty and refill. Will there be any issue with PAG 100. i was told to use PAG 120, what is the difference?
|How long was the A/C system left open? was it sealed during repairs?Disconnect the power to the compressor.There is no way of measuring oil still in the system that I am aware of. receiver/drier may need to be replaced.when you take the car for evacuation and recharge explain what happened.
sbc first start up
So I have this newly rebuilt sbc350. Getting ready to fire for the first time. Added the fluids last night. Kind of had a bear of a time getting the distributor to drop in and have it point at cylinder #1. Finally got it! I cant seem to tell if it is at TDC or not. No way I can get a wrench on the cam to turn by hand. Simply not enough room. Heck I can't even see the harmonic balancer to get an idea of were the mark is. If I take off the first spark plug and have someone turn the key with my finger over the hole will I be able to get the piston to TDC in cylinder one? Is there an easier way? Will I have to take that darn distributor off again after finding TDC? I did prime the pump before dropping the distributor down. Should I do it again today before firing? Lastly during the process of assembly the oil in the air conditioning compressor spilled out on the floor. I was told by Vintage Air that I should use PAG 120 and put in 7.2 ounces. I was only able to find PAG 100, how will I know that I have 7.2 ounces in it. Do I have to take off the compressor and dump out the oil and then refill? What a pain.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
A place for distro owners to discuss all things distro running and prospective distro owners to get advice :)
Members: 147

Started by Axe and Hammer Dec 11, 2015.
Hi all, I'm Tali and recently moved back from London to my hometown of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In London I got to experience an exciting local zine scene and I'm still in the process of finding out more about the zine community in Rio/Brazil. However, it is not hard to tell there aren't nearly as many distros here and I really, really think we could benefit particularly from a distro that imports (and exports) zines not just from the UK-US-Europe-Australia usual suspects but from all over the world, and has a declared mission to make the worldwide zine community more integrated & diverse & to facilitate cooperation between zinesters, zine librarians & zine distro owners from around the globe! I have a lot of thoughts about international exchange of zines, including translated zines, using zines to teach foreign languages etc.
HOWEVER --- I haven't got the slightest idea of where to start in setting up a distro, let alone such an ambitious one. I'm wondering if there are any networks such as a Facebook group for distro owners to exchange their experiences (well, other than this very group here!), and if not, do you think it would be beneficial to set up one? I'm hoping to make distros in different countries more visible to others outside their local communities, and to encourage collaboration between distros.
Anyway if anyone resonates with these thoughts or has anything to contribute, please drop me a line :)
Started a new distro out of Jersey City, NJ. If anybody is interested in anything let me know.
Hey Distro owners! I know some of you have carried my book, Stolen Sharpie Revolution in the past. I'm running a kickstarer campaign to fund the 5th printing. One of the rewards is a 10 pack for stores and distros. Maybe you might want to pick that up?
Stolen Sharpie Revolution: a DIY Resource for zines and zine culture (5th Edition) Kickstarter
Since 2002 Stolen Sharpie Revolution has been the go-to resource for zines and zine culture. With over 21,000 copies in print, this book is poised to break the quarter-hundred-thousand copy barrier at least BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!
I am 15 days and half way through the Stolen Sharpie revolution Kickstater, but we don't quite have half the funds yet! Please consider backing this kickstarter. if not for you, for the next generation of zine kids that are just as excited and a little bit confuse as you were when you trying to do your first layout.
Back the Stolen Sharpie Revolution: a DIY Resource for zines and zine culture (5th Edition) Kickstarter
I'm about to relaunch my website/blog that is focusing on education, holistic living, and DIY lifestyles. Also traveling/non-conformist lifestyles. And when it relaunches I'm opening up my online shop with classes, zines, books, and resources for people that are curious about the DIY lifestyle.
I'm looking for zinesters that may be interested in sending a few zines my way e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I am starting a small distro in southern california called Paper Doll Distro. I have several locations owned by great people where I have a space to put the zines I have in stock. I am extremely open to any/all content. I like punk, traveling, anarchism, DIY, humorous, etc. zines. At this point, due to my small size, I am literally excepting anything that comes my way. SO HAVE FUN!
If this intrigues you, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com to add YOUR zine(s) to my stock list. Its up to all you guys (including myself) to make the community thrive.
Check out our distro -Booklyn Art Gallery. Zines, prints, and artworks available coinciding with each exhibition we host, dedicated to providing an exhibition platform for artists books, zines, prints and ephemera.
Hello! We are new to being a distro but not new to zines but any any stretch! We are an online store as well as a brick and mortar store in Portland, Oregon filled with buttons and zines! Please check out Portland Button Works.
I'm Sky Cosby, and I represent a small, independent empire of booksellers and printers in the Northwest. Just wanted to say hello and point ya'll toward our projects, thanks for hanging out on We Make Zines! We can currently offer the Last Earth Distro catalog at 30% off retail for orders over $250.00, and the Last Word Press catalog at 50% off retail for orders of just about any size. Let me know how we may be of service.
We are a radical book selling organism loosely affiliated with several Pacific Northwest Independent booksellers, publishers, and organizations. Our story began in 2005 when the respected Northwest radical publisher Loompanics Unlimited closed their doors after 30+ years, and we acquired much of their inventory. But our roots run three decades deep in underground books, and we have formed a rogue entity, Last Earth Distro, to better serve the needs of our audiences in Cascadia and our customers across the globe.
Although you may not agree with some of the subject matter we offer, rest assured that you're supporting a good organization. We value individual rights and freedoms, we champion the environment and Earth's remaining natural resources, and we believe in homegrown food, politics, and principles.
We represent an extended community of Activists across the spectrum: parents, teachers, craftspeople, blue-collar workers, students, republican farm wives, and small dogs. Our proceeds fuel our future endeavors, put locally grown and organic food in our children's tummies, and fight for common causes in our communities. We try to support local communities wherever we travel, and we hope you'll consider supporting ours.
Our fine literature is also available at the following Independent Pacific Northwest Bookstores: Earthlight Books in Walla Walla, WA & Last Word Books & Press in Olympia, WA. Please drop in to either of these fine establishments to request our titles, someone there will be able to point you in the right direction.
I want to start carrying other people's zines in my distro. I'm looking for perzines, compilation zines, humor zines, and literary zines. I wont carry zines that include any forms of bigotry.
If you want to submit your zine for consideration please email: email@example.com or message me on here.

Salmon Teriyaki
Salmon is a Japanese staple, but this easy-to-make teriyaki sauce also can be used to marinate beef, chicken, or pork.
Four salmon fillets (3 to 4 ounces each)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
2 ½ tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ground ginger
Combine the liquids, sugar, and ginger in a bowl. Put salmon fillets in mixture and marinate for about 30 minutes. Transfer the fillets to a baking sheet and the liquid to a small saucepan. Bake fillets at 325°F for about 10 minutes or to desired doneness, while simmering the marinade on the stove to a syrupy consistency (do not boil). When the salmon is cooked, spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve.
Servings: Serves four
Daikon Salad
This traditional Japanese radish salad can be served as a snack with sake or to accompany a main dish, such as salmon teriyaki.
1/2 pound daikon (Japanese radish)
2 large carrots
1/2 cucumber
5 shiso (aka "beefsteak plant") leaves
1/2 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
Black pepper to taste
About 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
Optional: katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
Julienne the large vegetables, and place them in ice water for 15-20 minutes to crisp them. Thinly slice shiso leaves. Combine the remaining ingredients to create the dressing. Toss the chilled vegetables, sliced shiso leaves, and dressing together. Garnish with katsuobushi.
Servings: Serve family-style
Miso Shiru (Miso Soup)
Soup in Japan is served alongside other dishes, not before. Japanese custom is not to use a spoon but instead to sip the soup directly from the bowl, using your chopsticks to stir it. First timers should try shiro (white) miso paste (actually tan in color).
4-1/2 cups cold water
2-inch slice of dried konbu (kelp)
1/3 cup katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
4 tablespoons of miso paste
5 ounces tofu
2 green onions
Optional: bean sprouts (about 1/2 cup)
Add cold water and konbu to the pot. Let sit for ten minutes. Slice the tofu into dice-size cubes, and finely chop the green onions into rings (scissors work well). Bring the water to a boil for about five minutes. Add the katsuobushi and bring to boil again. Strain the konbu and katsuobushi through cheese cloth and return the broth to the pot. Add miso paste to the broth, stir until it dissolves, then add tofu and (optional) bean sprouts and simmer for a few minutes.
Divide the chopped onions between four bowls and ladle the soup over them.
Servings: Serves four

text: I started keeping bees this year and I built all of my wooden ware. I started with the standard Langstroth 2 deeps and 3 mediums. I then came across Micheal Bush's site and built 2 deep horizontal hives for my splits. They are 48" long and use a standard deep frame.I divided the inter cover into 3 pieces that are basically 3 standard inter covers. I did this for easier access to the section of the hive I need access to. The top cover of the 1st one, I made in 3 pieces again so I wouldn't have to uncover the whole hive to access it. The 2nd hive I made a one piece cover which I like better. I also mounted legs on them so they are at counter top height much (easier on the back). I can interchange frames with all my hives. Where as if I built KTBH I wouldn't be able to do this. I don't kill as many bees moving boxes around but if I need to I can put a super on if I the bees need more space. I'll post pictures when I can.Mark

As President Bush concluded his Middle Eastern voyage with a short stay in Kuwait, he used the occasion to make another of his continual claims that Iran is "the world's leading state supporter of terrorism." His Kuwait hosts were polite and may even have nodded a head to give the president some encouragement they actually listened carefully to his words. But, within days of Bush's departure, Kuwait's foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed, visited Iran where he made it clear to the world, "My country knows who is our friend, and who is our enemy and Iran is our friend." He is currently working with Iranian diplomats to resolve several issues between the two nations related to the continental shelf boundary.
One can only wonder if George Bush pays any attention to people when he visits another country. Didn't anyone on his staff alert the president to the fact his hosts had favorable relations with Iran? Did he discuss with Kuwait officials the gist of his tirade against Iran prior to making the speech? Does George Bush have any grasp on what other nations think about issues of concern to him? Just asking a few questions.
