YouTube finally announced this week that it would allow channels to charge monthly fees to access content on YouTube. Some have predicted that YouTube's subscription model would undercut its ad model in an echo of the infamous pay-wall problem that has bedeviled online newspapers as they shifted from ad-supported to paid. Others have suggested that this shows that YouTube is up against an advertising wall of its own making — advertisers will only pay so much to advertise against this amateur and semi-pro content (and to be fair, I am in this camp even though I don't think this fact is dire). And still others gleefully wait to watch as YouTube learns how hard it is to get people to pay for things online.
In fact, all three of these things are minor asides in YouTube's decision-making, as I see it. Instead of reacting to these and other constraints, YouTube is proacting on imminent opportunity. YouTube is basically making a grab for more of everything that matters:


text: For $350 you may want to go used, and if that is not a problem for you there are a lot of great choices for that. I would suggest a 9mm, the least expensive to shoot next to a .22 and is plenty large to do the job. Like is said there will be a lot of great choices but one suggestion on the gun itself I would recommend a Ruger P89. I am sure others will give you their choices. I no longer have one but it is a great reliable and accurate gun with soft recoil and is not much more than $350 new.

Last week I was thrilled to attend and present at the annual Shop.org event in the great city of Chicago. I attended many great presentations, talked at length with the vendor community, and broke bread with some of my old eComm friends. One observation that was more apparent to me this year is the massive transformation happening in retail. It feels more dynamic than it did at the peak of the dot com boom of the late 90's. For me there were clear trends emerging:

Wigan have already made one trip to Emirates Stadium this season, when they went down 2-0 in the Carling Cup in November.
But can Roberto Martinez's side improve on that result in the Premier League on Saturday? We spoke to Paul Kendrick of the Wigan Observer to get a Wigan perspective on the weekend's game.
On one hand, you could look at all these games unbeaten and say they are in good form. But, unfortunately, there have been too many draws and not enough victories. The win against Wolves was one of the few they have had in the last couple of months. It's a massive game this weekend and Emirates Stadium is not the ideal place to go when you're trying to get back to winning ways.
Most Wigan fans were realistic enough to accept that this season was probably going to be a struggle with a lot of fresh players coming in and a lot of players going out. Wigan fans have never expected a top-half finish and it has been a struggle this season. On the positive side, Wigan have been able to stay up and show enough fight to stay in the Premier League.
They generally tend to play away like they do at home by keeping possession, creating chances and trying to play as much football as possible. Sometimes it obviously doesn't work but on the off-chance everything comes together, as they showed at Tottenham, they are capable of getting a result.
It's not just the away matches, they are struggling for home goals as well. I think there is a reliance on Hugo Rodallega at the moment. The general thinking is that if he doesn't score then you are looking around to see who will. Franco di Santo came back last weekend after injury and that is a massive plus because he has barely played since joining from Chelsea in the summer. Goals are a concern.
Roberto Martinez will set up as he did in the Carling Cup and as he did at DW Stadium. It's a strict 4-5-1 formation and he tends not to deviate from that. You won't see Wigan parking the bus in front of the goal, they will try and play their football like they did in the home game and hopefully they will get the rub of the green like they did last month at the DW Stadium and maybe steal a point again.

Norah Jones
Although she fully intended to return to college that fall, the lure of the folk coffeehouses and jazz clubs proved too strong and she was soon inspired to write her own songs. Jones appeared regularly with the trip-hop-electronica band Wax Poetic and assembled her own group around songwriters Jesse Harris (guitar) and Lee Alexander (bass), with Dan Rieser on drums. In October of 2000, the group recorded a handful of demos for Blue Note Records and on the strength of these recordings, Jones signed to the jazz label in early 2001. Following an appearance on Charlie Hunter's Songs from the Analog Playground, Jones spent much of 2001 performing live with Hunter's group and working on material for her debut.
Come Away with Me, recorded by Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, Manhattan Transfer, k.d. lang) and legendary producer Arif Mardin (Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, the Bee Gees), was released in early 2002 and garnered much public attention. The combination of her striking beauty and the fact that she was the daughter of an internationally renowned musician placed Jones in the awkward position of defending her music from those who dismissed her as another pretty face (the same argument used by those opposed to Diana Krall) and/or another riding the coattails of her musical royal heritage (see Natalie Cole, Miki Coltrane, Corey Parker). Although not by any stretch a "jazz" album (the label chose to call it "jazz-informed"), it featured jazz guitarist Bill Frisell and session drummer Brian Blade, and indicated a new direction for Blue Note combining jazz aesthetics and talent with a pop sensibility. Come Away with Me eventually went multi-platinum, selling 18 million copies worldwide and winning Jones eight Grammy Awards.
In 2004, Jones released her highly anticipated follow-up album, Feels Like Home. Pairing once again with producer Arif Mardin, Jones pursued a similar approach to Come Away with Me, mixing '70s singer/songwriter-style tracks with blues, country, and her own mellow take on piano jazz. In 2003, Jones played in a group called the Little Willies along with Lee Alexander (bass), Richard Julian (guitar/vocals), Dan Rieser (drums), and Jim Campilongo (guitar), playing covers of classic American music like Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. This one-off performance ultimately turned into sporadic shows at the venue whenever their individual schedules would allow, slowly incorporating original songs into their set along the way. In time, the Little Willies began considering the release of a live album, but instead wound up documenting their sound in the recording studio. Milking Bull Records issued the resultant self-titled album in March 2006.
Late in 2006, the single "Thinking About You" announced a return to her solo career. It landed on the album Not Too Late, released in early 2007. The Fall arrived in 2009, followed in 2010 by ...Featuring Norah Jones, a collection of musical collaborations. The following year Jones was asked to provide some vocals for Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and Italian composer Daniele Luppi's spaghetti Western project Rome. Burton returned the favor in 2012 by producing and co-writing the songs on Jones' fifth studio album, Little Broken Hearts. She next teamed with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong in a project to re-create the classic 1958 Everly Brothers album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us. Recorded in nine days with bassist Tim Luntzel and drummer Dan Rieser, Foreverly was released in 2013. She returned in October of 2016 with her sixth solo record, Day Breaks, an album that reconnected Jones with the jazzy pop of her 2002 debut Come Away with Me. ~ Zac Johnson

Speakers raise awareness about the importance of integrating art and design into the national innovation
On Wednesday, June 22, RISD will present a Congressional briefing on
the need to integrate art and design with STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math) education as an essential component of the national
innovation agenda.
RISD President John Maeda will emphasize the importance of adding Art to STEM
education (thereby making STEAM) to teach the flexible thinking and risk-taking
that is needed in today's complex and dynamic world. To realize this potential, he says, scientists, artists and designers need to develop new ways of working
together and new modes of research and education. A resolution sponsored
by Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI) speaks to the importance of
art and design in the national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education
and research agenda.
Other speakers at the briefing include leaders in education and business: Adam
Bly, CEO of Seed Media Group; Randy Cohen, vice president of Research and Policy,
Americans for the Arts; Martin Storksdieck, director of
the Board on Science Education, National Research Council; and Brian
K. Smith, dean of Continuing Education at RISD.
In January RISD hosted Bridging STEM to STEAM: Developing New
Frameworks for Art-Science-Design Pedagogy,
a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation. In March the school
organized Make It Better,
a symposium focused on ways in which artists and designers can help improve
public health and the healthcare delivery system in the U.S.
"The tools and methods of design offer
new models for creative problem-solving and interdisciplinary
partnership," says President Maeda. "Artists and
designers humanize technology, making it understandable and capable of bringing
about societal change."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Please keep your fingers crossed and say a little puppy prayer, Ms. Angel went to the home I was talking about in the above post today. She really did want her and just had some terrible work related issues. The good news is that I found out that her children aren't small at all (our conversation at Home Depot was rushed) but are actually 15, 14 and 8 and all of them love dogs. I haven't heard anything negative yet, so I'm going to assume that all is well in the home. We had long talks about Angel's feelings and issues. By the time she left today she had become very intensely bonded to me. She looked so hurt when I put her in the car and closed the door. It broke my heart in little pieces. I know she felt abandoned by me and I hate that. BUT...she will bond to her new family soon and forgt all about me and that's the way it should be.
|It sounds like this is a dog that might have done just fine loose in the house rather than plonked in a different area or confined in a crate without, it seems, any gradual introduction to it. Just suddenly plopping a new dog in a new confinement when she is already in a very new environment..... eh, well, expect problems.
Dang. I am sad to report that Angel has been back with us for the last week. Her new mom came back by the adoptathon event on Sunday and borrowed a large crate from us because Angel tore up the garage and managed to get out on Saturday when mom went to Lowes to find out about getting some new fencing installed. She didn't leave her again until Monday when she put her in the crate and was gone for about 45 minutes. She walked back in just as Angel was finished dismantling the wire crate. She was worried about her safety so I met her in Asheville last Monday and picked her up.
She and I have been best buds since. She rides like a champ. I even offered her some Zaxbys on the way home but she refused me. Go figure.
She and I spent about an hour at Home Depot and she was perfectly behaved. Friendly withe everyone. A lady that worked there talked to me about adopting her and even after I told her about Angel's seperation anxiety and what I am referring to as "confinement anxiety" she was still interested. She has been in constant contact with me since then and has made plans to come get her what seems like everyday and then something comes up and she can't come. I can't figure it out. She even told me about all the things she had bought for her....
So I have about given up on her. And she had a good situation which makes it even sadder. Someone home at all times because her husband is a mininster and stays home with their 3 children while she works...13 acres of land that backs up to the national forest...good fencing...everything sounded great.
So anyway..we are back to needing a placement for this special older lady. And do any of you agree with me about the simple act of confinement being a serious issue for her? She was always a "free range" dog until now. She tolerates the outside kennel here at the shelter but begs to be out of it. If I take her out in the yard she is perfectly content. Also the adopter that changed her mind said she was absolutely perfect as long as she was home with her. She was definitley "velcro" even sleeping beside her bed the two nights she was there.
I have considered some sort of homeopathic calming treats for her. What do you think? Are they really any good? Maybe if they could just be given until she bonds with a new family and then maybe each time when they have to leave her. I feel like if someone had an outside area (strong fence) to leave her in she would be OK.
|I am SO happy for her...and for you. These dogs' stories, especially the elders, can reduce me to tears in mere seconds. The tears today are happy ones. Bless your heart Angel, good girl. Another one safe and loved!
I am thrilled to report that Angle is spending the night tonight in her new home!!!!!!! My shelter attended the Petsmart Mega Adoptathon today and Angel was the second dog adopted. She went to a perfect home. I could not have drawn it up any better. Her new owner is a retired (but young and healthy) lady that lives alone and has a large fenced in yard. She lost a 15 year old border collie (who was a championship Frisbee and agility dog) a few months back and was finally thinking about a new dog. She said she almost turned around and didn't come to the event but her heart told her she needed to go Angel took to her immediately and she spent a good long time making up her mind. She took Angel into the store and all around the to the other participants tents.
I am so happy but I really miss her already. She was so bonded to me and gave me more physical affection than even my own two dogs. I cried happy tears when she left in the back of that Suburban, but there were a few sad one too.
Goodbye my sweet Angel....be a good girl.
|Daisy&Lucky's Mom
|I wish I could take home and let her be a princess however three and some health problems are my limit. If there is anyway I can help I will unfortunately i have nocontacts w/ a rescue.
|She seems so sweet it breaks my heart someone hasn't scooped her up yet.
|I keep refreshing this in case anyone out there has yet to see it. Here is my girl Angel and myself from last Saturday's Rabies Clinic at the shelter. I purposely brought her out and kept her with me for a good bit of time. Hundreds of people and dogs for her to be around. She is doing so great now!!! She is like a different dog. When I open her kennel gate and walk away from her she runs to me! She loves being handled and rubbed. She has become a dog that acts as if she wants to literally crawl into my body I love her so much. I really hope for her to be in a home soon. She is becoming very bonded to me and I don't want her to suffer another loss Oh how I wish I could bring her home with me.
I know three of the owners from Tar's litter and.none.of.them are in the position to take her. It really breaks my heart. But I will NOT give up on her.

Hi, just linked to this thread from the other senior owner relinquish, my goodness I hope I never ever am in that kind of situation. I'm glad you're there to help! Anyway, I was wondering if there was any way to get in touch with other people who have her puppies? That kind of link might prompt someone to adopt her.
Good luck!

It's like a car, the second you drive it off the lot it devalues. Similarly, the second you open the box, the marker devalues. I don't understand why people here and especially on nation have this delusion that their gear does not lose any value. It's like people are angry at themselves because their $1000 didn't make them happy, so they think they are entitled to $950 of what they paid.
I saw a guy selling a beat to shit Axe for 600 because it was "pro owned" I don't give a fuck if Jesus played ball with that gun, I'll pay what the marker is worth, not for any sentimental attachments you have to it.
but whatever that's enough ranting for tonight
anybody else feel this way?

got a 1982 jetta with about 300k on chassis and 100k on motor. less than 200 miles ago i put a Giles Super pump, metal headgasket, timing belt/tensioner, ARP head studs and boost controller and the GTD injectors. The only thing left to do to the motor is an intercooler so you can take advantage of the 30psi of boost. Compression is great, oil pressure great.
The previous owner of this car kept service records including MPG readings at every point he filled up the tank. The engine is meticulously maintained. Never been run on veggie oil or any of that crap. I put raceland coilovers and wheel spacers on when I got the OG snowflakes less than 2k miles ago, closer to 1k but Im not positive. Sits flush and handles like a gokart. Ive also got a lower and upper brace Ill throw in if the price is right.
Ive bled the brakes and put drilled rotors and race pads on it and new rear wheel cylinders and new wheel bearings. The drums and shoes have plenty of life left in them so I left them alone.
The paint on the car still has some shine to it. its definitely not show perfect but its really in great shape. The interior is surprisingly clean for how old it is. The radio is currently not installed, I have a tape deck unit I can throw in but I suggest just buying a nicer one and putting it in there. The rear view mirror needs to be reattached and the turn signals work but dont return back after a turn unless its hot out. I have a stalk sitting in the car to fix it but I havent had the chance to install it. it also needs glow plugs and the timing to be fine tuned, but I should be able to get that done this weekend, I have the tools just not the time! runs great, just smokey on start up. has a new battery as well.
I really dont want to sell this car, but its kind of come to it. ideally I would swap this motor into my caddy and the motor from my caddy into this car, but I just dont have the time to do this. if you would be willing to help me do this, I could work out a killer deal on the jetta with the caddy motor on it. also a 1.6td but not built for power like this one, the caddy gets around 50mpg. Please feel free to ask questions. current reg and clean title.

I see "MOA" used to describe firearm accuracy quite a bit, mostly from manufacturers. I searched and can't find what it stands for.
Anyone know?
Just think 1"@ 100 yards is close enough. Here's a U-Tube deal that will help you.:smt1099
Understanding Minute of Angle (MOA) - Rifle Shooting Technique - NSSF Shooting Sportscast - YouTube
Minute of Arc (arcminute) or Minute of Angle (some even refer to it as minute of "accuracy" but that is a more slang term in the gun world, and technically inaccurate)
while a very technical term the following is an introductory explanation
The arcminute is commonly found in the firearms industry and literature, particularly concerning the accuracy of rifles, though the industry tends to refer to it as minute of angle. It is especially popular with shooters familiar with the Imperial measurement system because 1 MOA subtends approximately one inch at 100 yards, a traditional distance on target ranges. Since most modern rifle scopes are adjustable in half (1⁄2), quarter (1⁄4), or eighth (1⁄8) MOA increments, also known as clicks, this makes zeroing and adjustments much easier. For example, if the point of impact is 3" high and 1.5" left of the point of aim at 100 yards, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 MOA down, and 1.5 MOA right. Such adjustments are trivial when the scope's adjustment dials have an MOA scale printed on them, and even figuring the right number of clicks is relatively easy on scopes that click in fractions of MOA.
so.. Imagine a circle bisecting your body, think about how a circle has 360 degrees... now think of every one of those degree's having 60 minutes within them.
ONE minute of one degree is One inch at 100 yards. multiply that One inch by 60 and you have (obviously) 60 inches, or one degree of a full circle with a radius of 100 yards, diameter of 200 yards and a circumference of (approx) 628 yards.
now if you go and check the math one degree of 60 inches multiplied by 360 and divided by 12 (for feet) and 3 (for yards) comes to 600. one minute at 100 yards is an approximation and when you multiply one by 60 by 360 the relatively minute difference ultimately becomes 28 yards.
as you can tell it's a very deep subject in firearms, however generally applied to Rifles. This, however, is handgun forums and therefor MOA does not compute...
most pistols would (exaggerating slightly) be measured in degrees of angle, not minutes at 100 yards, lol.

By Chris Harris
Jack Wilshere admitted he fully deserved his red card against Birmingham on Saturday but Arsène Wenger wants his player's 'crime' to be put into perspective.
The 18-year-old was dismissed for a clumsy lunge on Nikola Zigic in stoppage time that left the Serbian striker with a bruised ankle and reduced Arsenal to ten men for the closing moments of their 2-1 victory.
Wenger and Wilshere had no complaints about Martin Atkinson's decision to show a red card but, as the debate over dangerous tackling raged after the game, the Arsenal manager insisted that a distinction must be drawn between one mistimed tackle and the systematic fouling deployed by others.
"You have to make a difference between an accidental red card and a team who tries to kick you from the first to the last minute," Wenger told reporters. "There is no comparison.
"Jack made one tackle on Saturday. Do you want me to show you some tackles on my players? I am always available for the Press but let's be serious a little bit.
"No matter what we do, it is wrong. If we get kicked the whole game and do not reply, people say we are too soft. But I don't believe we are too soft. We showed that at Chelsea where we were not dominated physically at all.
"I tell my players to play football. I can influence my players with the vision I have of the game but I cannot influence what people say about us. If you respond every time to the judgement of others you go one day north, the next day south, then east and then west and players don't know where you're going any more. So you try to focus on the way you want to play football."
Wenger was also asked whether he thought Wilshere had been seeking retribution after a clash with Zigic in the centre circle that left the teenager with a split lip.
"I don't think Jack saw the player he was tackling," replied the Frenchman. "He just thought I lost the ball, there's a minute to go, I must chase and win this ball back, but he mistimed his tackle.
"He just said to me: 'I mistimed the tackle I got a red card and that's it'."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Interesting thoughts, Marfig!
I personally agree that we have been patching the old tech for far too long. IPv4 and SSL are perfect examples.
But what amazes me is how WELL some of the old security protocols still hold up, like SSH and Kerberos. The majority of security holes are created by people assuming that things set up in a default install ARE secure...and not knowing differently to fix it.
I really can't believe I'm saying this, but one of the BEST things a small office can do is to buy Microsoft Small Business Server, and initialize ActiveDirectory. There will be a write-up of AD coming soon, but it's one of the most powerful tools you can use to control your network.
The biggest problem with small businesses approach to security is the lack of technical know-how. Big corporations tend to hire the best professionals on the field. And tend to hire them in good enough numbers so that all collaborate towards the same goal. Small businesses however can usually only afford to hire professionals with limited resumes. This when they actually hire anyone with the IT acronym somewhere in their resume. Often it ends up being instead the tech savy guy in the office that does it. Other times, they simply go for small companies providing some manner of IT services, with questionable maintenance contracts and even more questionable quality of service.
Seems contradictory that the smaller you are, in terms of computer infrastructure, the more likely you are to be less secure. And it is contradictory, in fact. In a technical perspective this doesn't make sense. After all, it's exactly the complexity of your networking services that increase the complexity of the security requirements.
What this goes to show is that we are in desperate need of some sort of technological jump. The things that can be done today with a computer and a cable are simply awesome. We can sell stuff to people on the other side of the planet, we can communicate over text, voice and video. We can track information in real time. We can remotely store information at a fraction of the cost it would take to store it locally. We can guarantee data isn't going to ever be lost (short of a global society breakdown event). However we are doing it still on top of very old communication protocols which offer little to no defense against intrusion, theft, or corruption. As we keep adding layers over layers of innovation to how we use these communication protocols, we will in fact increase the paradox described in this article for the simple reason that the defensive mechanisms become increasingly more complex and, above all, more expensive.
What has actually evolved over the years is how we use old communication protocols. The protocols themselves have evolved little. Like with cars, we have been building better, faster and feature richer cars, but they all still run on the same highly inefficient combustion engines of over a century ago. Granted some sort of positive changes have been happening to TCP/IP for instance (engines are better today too than they were 30 years ago). But in no way this progress constitute a technological advancement the likes of which could change the current IT security landscape.
We need new technology, not stretching old technology until one day it finally breaks.
Of course, easier said than done. The problem is not coming up with higher security protocols nearly impossible to fool with. They exist. The problem is shifting an entire global infrastructure to these new protocols. We moved to fast and before we noticed we had an entire world built of straw houses. People are living in them and it's very complicated now to just build brick houses for everyone.
It's a sad state of affairs. But one that no one can really be blamed. It's just how it happened and it was inevitable. The 8th security F-Up small offices make is trying to use the internet to provide or access services they don't have the ability to secure.

|Yea WPS sucks. It was the first thing I disabled on my router. Also not running the default info is obvious (IMO) I did however on this lame switch/router that claimed to have a dumb switch mode but it never worked right. So much easier with a true switch running gigabit to the gigabit router

SysAdmin Corner: 7 Network Security F-Ups Small Offices Make
It's easy to overlook that huge corporations are far less dangerous than the small business you deal with each and every day with regards to information theft. Some institutions have treasure troves of information on you that can far exceed the "big fish". If you work in a SMB, you can't afford to have your info stolen, so read on for some important tips.
Is your office secure? Is it really? Find out for sure by reading through Brett's in-depth look at common mistakes made in small and medium businesses all over, and then discuss it here.
Have other tips and suggestions? We'd love to hear them!

I have 4 Blackhawks in .45 Colt. I really like mine. Have you checked things to make sure everything is right, like the throats and forcing cone? Mine all needed a little work.
As for grips, they are a very personal thing. I like Eagle Gunfighter grips. Smooth for high recoil guns, and checkered for low recoil guns. But like I said, very personal.


text: Dear Pistons, Please keep moving yourselves and the ball on offense. When you look at the tape, you'll agree, I think, that you get much easier shots when you do this. Plus, the movement on offense seems often to translate to movement on defense. Plus, when you aren't throwing up early out of rhythm jump shots there are fewer long rebounds that allow Cleveland to get down court before you've set up your defense. It's okay to set up for isolation post-ups, and even for the guys posting up to dribble himself into position. But please, the other four guys, can you not just stand around, can you at least pretend to make a cut or something, or even switch places around the perimeter. thanks. me oh, and pass this on to Chauncey and Rip. I don't know where they are.

I have decided to try my hand at painting a helmet so will use my spare fg (which I was not overly keen on) so it won't matter if I mess things up.
I've only ever painted pvc armour and did not do a very good job so my skills are basically zilch. I plan on using rub 'n buff which I think is straight forward enough but I want a slight Boba look to it as far as silver appearing underneath the blue goes. After doing some rubbing down I liked the effect it gave so will go the liquid mask route. Hope that makes sense.
The problem I'm having is getting rid of the pin stripes. Should I just keep sanding them or get a knife and pick it off?
After it's completed would laquer/clear coat be used on the rub 'n buff?
Thanks in advance guys.

Town Square
Alamo Town Council Candidates, who are they?
Original post made by Diablo Vista, another community, on Aug 16, 2008
In morning e-exchanges, neighbors throughout our Diablo Vista region were considering who would be candidates for Alamo Town Council in any incorporation election. Many names among the current more public proponents for incorporation were eliminated, but few names could be suggested as potential candidates that would be trusted with the first four years of creating and defining our government.
It was an exceptional discussion that should be considered by your broader readership. Within the AIM boundaries, it would appear, the choice of candidates will determine the outcome of an incorporation election.

Posted from Diablo Vista region e-exchanges:
At 4PM, on Thursday, September 18, 2008, neighbors that originated liaison with the Alamo Incorporation Movement (AIM, May 30, 2007) will be attending a meeting of Contra Costa Local Area Formation Commission (CCLAFCO) as commissioners decide if AIM's Town of Alamo incorporation proposal and application will be approved for an incorporation election. We would suggest that neighbors throughout our region attend this commissioners' meeting and consider public comment on incorporation issues that remain unanswered.
We additionally suggest that you contact www.alamoinc.org (AIM) or www.alamocommunity.org (ACF), and post your questions and concerns to be addressed by commissioners, AIM and ACF at that meeting during the public commentary portion of the proceedings.
As you continue your consideration of the defined incorporation proposal and candidates you would support for potential incorporation of AIM's Town of Alamo, please include such considerations in your contact with AIM and ACF.

"Hello darkness, my old friend," it might be said, "I've come to call on you again."
We are asked to prepare for September 18 in silence as the LAFCO staff, commission and AIM committee reject explanation of incorporation considerations.
And who does this meeting belong to, one might ask?
Ultimately, we are bringing our employed staff to Alamo, give or take a boundary or three, to address the definition of incorporation so an intelligent and savvy majority of residents can VOTE yes or no in a subsequent incorporation election.
So, we ask those that serve us to address that definition and understand that nothing less is acceptable.

Dear Editor,
The website below provides study reference for neighbors considering petition to LAFCO for definition of an incorporation proposal subject to election. In the absence of such requested definition, this information provides the results of court cases challenging LAFCO and the nature of those court cases.

Dear Editor,
Today I received a listing of candidates that our region's neighborhoods would support as committed to defined government with citizens' immediate oversight of such definition and establishment of government. At issue, these candidates will not agree to run under the current incorporation proposal or appear to support current incorporation definitions.
Thus, a dilemma exists that needs your editorial expertise. Ask proponents of the proposed town of Alamo, and LAFCO, how they intend to present candidates that can achieve broad acceptance in an incorporation election that does not include definition of a government rational voters should consider.
Extremely capable, savvy candidates have been drafted and refuse to run or serve. At the same time, neighbors expect a slate of the same self-appointed leadership, from among proponents, as candidates that are not acceptable to a majority of voters.
It is an extremely complex "catch-22" that will continue unless answered by your journalism.

looks too shiny
You're kidding.... right?Zeever Fett said:
Yeah, its a bit too shiny without weathering, but after some misting of greys & blacks with an airbrush, then hitting it with dull coat, it turned out perfectly. Although I do beleive that the ESB vest is slightly more grey than the ROTJ vest, I'm convinced this stuff is the correct fabric to use....just gotta weather it plenty. Below are before & after pics. In the first pic, my vest is only very lightly weathered, in the second pic, it is weathered heavily with an airbrush as I described. My neckseal is the same fabric with very little weathering, so you can see the difference that the weathering makes...takes the shine right out of it. Hope that helps guys BTW: thanx everybody who gave me weathering advice on this

As already mentioned, it is shiney. But, just like all parts of Boba's suit, it needs to be weathered to give it that worn, aged look. I dulled mine up with misting taupe (dark tan), gray and black spray paint. The real clincher is to then hit it will Dull Cote which knocks a lot of the 'shine' out of it.Zeever Fett said:
Yes, it is still available. All the details, including the cut-off date to submit payment, is in my first post.Fosterkeri said:

Hey bobafettish can I have my material shipped to batninja as well?
If one were to make a vest with this material, and then COMBINE it with the TK409 Neckseal? Would the neckseal not match and look completely out of place?

Thanks PuppyChow,I'm wondering that also.

Thanks PuppyChow,I'm wondering that also.
guess we don't rate an answer..............
There have been some problems with all the gun shows on television, And these are due to the violence that have occurred in the public schools. But the red herring is Sandy Hook Elementary. these people are so grief stricken that they want to hold all gun owners responsible by banning whatever they can.
Now lets just take a little trip down memory Lane,, Gabby Gifford suffered a tragic brain Injury during the attack by a lone gunman. But yet she still owns a firearm and was a self admitted believer in the 2nd amendment. And now she changes her mind due to the influence of the democratic party to gain votes to ban firearms. Now lets look at her Husband he purchased a weapon for his wife. This makes Mr. Gifford's guilty of purchasing a weapon ( straw purchase if you will which is a federal crime in itself, and now you place the weapon in the hands of a person who has mental problems. what is to keep her from going off the deep end due to a flash back of that tragic day. What Id like to know is how come Mr. ,Gifford's wasn't arrested by ATF for a straw purchase of a weapon for his wife, whom clearly has problems, And for one to go from a pro second amendment stance , to we have to get guns off the street.
Yes I suppose its possible to change ones mind about ownership of firearms and their views on ownership, But not bloody Likely1. She is just another tool in the democratic party to ban weapons, weather she is a willing participant or not! and shame on her husband for allowing this to happen, Or in fact is part of the Problem as well to achieve the objective of the democratic gun grabbers. One thing is for certain folks we have to watch each others backs and vote these morons right out of office no matter what they promise, Impeachment proceedings should be started against the President at once, and all members of Congress and the Senate should be replaced at once for those whom believe in this countries values and our Constitution and not waiver from it and what it stands for! And the Current government no longer works! its time for them to be fired ! and replaced with American's who care about this country, the only reason these jokers are still in office is that they have the ability to lie and bullshit the American people. We are now headed for a recession that is to be considered worse than in 2008. so Merry Christmas from the Obama Administration! his health care plan is a joke much like he is, Never trust a politician whom speaks out of the side of his mouth. And now we ae about to find out that all this government shut down shit did not affect the higher archery of the Political system. they still received money while on furlough so who suffers? certainly not the government! but the average citizen, How many people knew that these politician's and other staffers collected unemployment Insurance, and to boot they will collect their government paychecks retroactive, and the Government will pay the unemployment bill. I'm sorry you cannot work and collect unemployment that us a crime. No matter what the Circumstances are even when the government is the one to screw up the records and not file correctly remember there are two sets of rules the ones for the government and the ones for the common citizen, to wit we wind up picking up the tab for politician's collection unemployment while working now that's a bunch of political bullshit...Doc
filming now , airing in January .
That's Great, Looking forward to the new season.
Thanks for the update, I'll keep an eye out for it
Thanks for the info. Will and good to hear from you .

The total length with approaches is 7,200 feet. The original configuration included 6 rail tracks, four lanes of vehicular traffic and two pedestrian walkways. The current configuration includes six lanes of traffic, the J/M/Z subway lines and a single pedestrian walkway. The original design was by Leffert L. Buck and Henry Hornbostel, supervised by Gustav Lindenthal. The bridge opened to traffic on December 19, 1903.

Tottenham may be in the top three and five points ahead of Arsenal - but Theo Walcott is not concerned.
Harry Redknapp's side have won eight of their last 10 league fixtures to take a hold on a Champions League spot and most recently beat Norwich City 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Walcott insists the points will look after themselves if Arsenal concentrate on their own results, no matter who is above them in the Premier League.
"We don't have to worry about anyone else, we have to concentrate on each game," he told Arsenal Player. "Maybe we are thinking too far ahead, or thinking too much about Tottenham potentially finishing above us.
"Hopefully we can make sure that doesn't happen, but we have to take things on a game-by-game basis.
"I think that can be a problem, we cannot worry about wanting teams to drop points when we should just be concentrating on ourselves."

The Canisius softball team saw its losing streak reach six straight as the Golden Griffins fell twice on the road to Fairfield Sunday afternoon in MAAC action. The Stags took game one by the score of 3-1 and then the host squad won the nightcap by a 5-1 count. Fairfield is now 24-18 overall and 10-4 in MAAC play while Canisius slipped to 21-22 overall and 6-8 in league play.
GAME ONE - Fairfield 3, Canisius 1
Fairfield scored three times in the bottom of the third and starting pitcher Rae Ball scattered five hits over seven innings to go with three strikeouts as Fairfield defeated Canisius 3-1 in the first game of the day. Canisius advanced just one runner to third base through the game's first six innings, but the Blue and Gold ended Ball's bid at a shutout when freshman Meghan Cuda doubled in the seventh to knock fellow freshman Alexis Roman across the plate. Canisius had runners at second and third with one out in the seventh, but Ball locked in and got the two final outs to secure the win.
Roman had two hits in the loss and scored a run, while Cuda posted a double and an RBI for Canisius. Canisius senior Amanda Baun took the loss after she allowed three runs on three hits, while fanning six.
GAME TWO - Fairfield 5, Canisius 1
Fairfield scored three times in the home half of the third inning and pitcher Rebecca Trott allowed one run on three hits in seven innings as Fairfield extended its home regular-season win streak to 12 straight with a 5-1 win in game two of the MAAC twinbill.
Canisius trailed 3-0 in the fifth before pinch-runner Chloe Contreras crossed the plate on a Fairfield error to make the score 3-1. The Stags answered with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to push the score to 5-1. Those runs were enough for Trott, who earned her 10th win of the season for Fairfield.
Valorie Nappo, Robin Kennery and Bethany DeMarco all picked up hits in the loss, while Fairfield's Kristen Filicia went 3-for-4 in the win. Canisius junior pitcher Jen Consaul took the loss after she allowed five runs, two earned, on eight hits with four walks.
Canisius will return to action May 1, at Colgate. The non-league doubleheader is set to begin at 3 p.m., in Hamilton, N.Y.

Dashwood wines bring the luscious, clean fruit characters of the Wairau Valley into harmony with the flinty, or mineral, characters of the Awatere (resulting from the comparatively cooler but drier temperatures and slightly less fertile soils). Created by long-standing winemaker, Glenn Thomas, who joined Vavasour in 1988, Dashwood wines are made in an earlier drinking style than those carrying the Vavasour brand and are considered outstanding value for money by wine buyers across the globe.

Can anyone help me with teaching down?
It has to be one if the hardest obedience commands to teach. My pup teal has sit, stay, here, and HEEL drilled into her head pretty good. I would say she is perform sit and stay @ 100%. Heel is about 70% right now. However, down is at a whopping 0%. The only thing I have seen is the treat to the nose and down, putting your hand with the treat to the ground.
The only other one is while walking the pup with the lead in your right hand, pup at a heel on your left, stopping and commanding the sit. Then with your left foot stepping on the lead and saying down. In turn pulling her to the ground. The other is enforcing the down with your thumb in between her shoulder blades.
Anyone have any suggestions?

RISD Dining is as exciting and rewarding a career as you can find in the food service industry. Operating four on-campus eateries, a mobile food truck and a full-service catering company, RISD Dining is always pushing the creative limit. Flexible scheduling makes RISD Dining an ideal part-time position for students and other busy people. Teamwork, diversity and creativity make RISD Dining a rewarding experience for everyone.
Our mission: To provide an exceptional dining experience
Are you warm and optimistic? Do you possess a strong work ethic and commitment to growth, integrity and thoughtfulness? If so, RISD Dining is looking for you!
Some of our positions include:
RISD Dining is always on the lookout for student help for the various venues on campus. At the beginning of the year, there are usually positions available at every facility on campus. Eligible students should email the managers at these venues and submit their resume or schedule an interview.
Students work for a variety of reasons. Some need their earnings to meet the basic costs of a RISD education or provide for social activities. Some recognize that the skills and work habits gained on the job will benefit them when they seek full-time employment. While non-financial aid students are able to participate in employment at RISD, it is RISD's policy to give priority in hiring to Federal Work Study (FWS) students or RISD Work Study (RWS) students for work on campus. Many times there are occasions when a student who has not received FWS or RWS possesses a special skill that is essential to the operation of a department or office. Or, sometimes, a supervisor is unable to find a work study student to work at a specific time. In such cases, the supervisor may request that a certain non-work-study student work on a regular basis.
In order to work on campus at RISD, a student must meet the following requirements:
A student's employment status is temporary and part-time, does not contain any provisions for fringe benefits, holiday pay, does not qualify for unemployment insurance and is contingent upon available funds. Once a student withdraws or graduates from RISD, he/she may no longer work in a student job on campus. International students may work a maximum of 20 hours per week (Sunday through Saturday) during periods of enrollment and not more than 40 hours per week during periods of non-enrollment (i.e. summers and holidays). Brown University students taking courses at RISD may not be employed in student jobs at RISD.
First preference for all jobs on campus will be given to students who have received a Federal Work Study or RISD Work Study award from the Financial Aid Office. Students seeking student employment awards for an academic year must submit a RISD Financial Aid Application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) no later than February 15th of the preceding academic year. These forms are available in the Financial Aid Office or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and must be re-filed each year. Late applications will be considered only if there are available resources. A student must demonstrate financial need in order to receive an employment award, which is part of a student's total financial aid package. Written notification will be sent to each applicant.
In order to qualify for a Federal Work Study or RISD Work Study award, a student must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, or must be residing in the United States with the intention and purpose of becoming a citizen.
Available job opportunities are posted on the work study job website at studentemployment.risd.edu. Contact information for supervisors is listed with each job. Preference will be given to Federal or RISD work study students.

A unique plea deal offered to businessman Marc Sessions Jenson came directly from then-Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who took a particular interest in the case for more than a year despite resistance from the head of his criminal division, recently released records show.
Hundreds of pages of emails also chart the tortuous path of the Jenson prosecution, complete with claims of attempted bribes, an FBI sting and behind-the-scenes grousing about a plea deal, which a judge tossed as too lenient.
Jenson, who is now doing time for securities violations, has accused Shurtleff and his handpicked successor, former Attorney General John Swallow, of extorting gifts and perks from him while the businessman was free as a result of a later plea deal cut with the Utah attorney general's office.
Receipts show Shurtleff and Swallow stayed at Jenson's posh Southern California villa and played golf, took shopping trips and got massages on the businessman's dime. Jenson said he couldn't say no for fear they would revoke the deal.
The emails verify at least part of Jenson's story that his plea negotiations were handled with Shurtleff's direct involvement.
The then-attorney general's entanglements in the case had become so deep that the office took the unusual step in June 2011 of walling off Shurtleff and Swallow from any involvement or access to information about the Jenson matter.
Earlier this year, the attorney general's office, with Swallow then at the helm, recused itself from the case, turning it over to the Utah County attorney's office to avoid any perceived conflicts of interest. By this time, Jenson had become a main accuser in the scandal that prompted Swallow to step down as attorney general last week.
The emails, obtained through an open-records request, represent a portion of the thousands of pages that the attorney general's office produced in response to a federal grand jury subpoena issued in July. Initially, the office refused The Salt Lake Tribune's request, but the State Records Committee ordered the release.
Shurtleff's attorney, Max Wheeler, said federal investigators had all of the information and that his client was interviewed by them. Federal prosecutors decided in September not to pursue charges against Shurtleff or Swallow though two county prosecutors are still investigating the duo.
"We are not going to comment publicly or try this matter in the press until everything is resolved," Wheeler said. "If questions remain, Mark will address those with the appropriate authorities as he has consistently done in the past."
Wheels and deals • The Jenson saga dates to 2000 and 2001, when he and a friend, Mark Robbins, rounded up millions of dollars from investors with the goal of buying the Mongoose bicycle company and making bridge loans. But when the bike deal fell through and investors didn't receive their promised return, they demanded action.
From the start, Shurtleff was intimately involved in the Jenson case. A previously released email from a state investigator to Jenson's then-attorney said Shurtleff launched the probe.
In 2005, the Utah attorney general's office charged Jenson with selling unregistered securities and securities fraud.
The case moved slowly, and Shurtleff became the focus of intense lobbying by Jenson allies, including a threat to publicly portray the investigation as a personal vendetta because Jenson had once dated Shurtleff's wife, complete with a mocked-up Tribune headline stating "Jealous A.G. Prosecutes Wife's Old Boyfriend."
These aggressive efforts appeared to grate on Shurtleff, who pushed for a probe of possible witness tampering. In a May 31, 2007, email, he asked his prosecutors, "When is Jensen [sic] set for trial? Can't be too soon as far as I'm concerned. I'm up to HERE with this guy and his goons!"
By December of that year, Shurtleff had cooled on the case.
"I am intent on accepting a no-contest plea in abeyance to three third-degree felonies," Shurtleff wrote to Scott Reed, head of the office's criminal division. "I'm sure this email will be viewed as a capitulation on my part. ... Please know I am not succumbing to bribes or threats."
Rather, Shurtleff wrote, it was based on concerns about the believability of witnesses, "my own conversations with Jensen [sic] and my conclusion that he will be very believable to a jury."
The boss's directive displeased Reed.
"I have to respectfully disagree with this approach," Reed wrote, "and suggest that this case could be a benchmark for the future in terms of how defendants and their attorney negotiate with this office."
Reed said he understood Shurtleff's "open door" policy of being willing to meet with anyone, "but in this case, [it] has become a runaway freight train as a result, and I think we can expect more of the same in the future if we as an office don't resist these tactics."
But Shurtleff's plea plan went ahead and other parties became involved, including Rob Stahura, a major campaign fundraiser for the attorney general, and Tim Lawson, a Shurtleff friend often described as his "fixer," whose intervention in cases and exploitation of his ties to the attorney general prompted top deputies to launch a criminal probe of Lawson.
The emails show that Lawson, who is not an attorney, gained direct access to details of the plea negotiations. In February 2008, Lawson emailed Shurtleff with the latest plea proposal.
"All I would like you to do, bro, is review this," Lawson wrote to Shurtleff, who forwarded it to Reed and Kirk Torgensen, a chief deputy attorney general.
"Why are we dealing with this guy [Lawson]?" Torgensen wrote back. "We cannot ethically deal with this guy outside of Jenson's counsel. This is inappropriate for Lawson to be doing this."
Shurtleff continued to email Reed about the status of the plea negotiations. Eventually, Reed urged him to back off.
"Look, boss, the deal is almost done," Reed wrote in a March 19, 2008, email. "I would prefer you stay out of it at this point."
Lawson and Jenson's attorneys pushed for a deal in which Jenson would plead guilty to reduced charges, serve no jail time and face no restitution. Reed, in an April 2008 email to Torgensen, expressed his frustration with the direction of the plea negotiations.
"People are asking me, 'Why are you doing this?' " Reed wrote. "And I have a hard time coming up with an answer without telling the truth or telling a lie."
Weeks later, Reed stood in front of 3rd District Judge Robin Reese, trying to justify the deal which was almost exactly as Shurtleff had proposed six months earlier in the face of opposition from victims demanding restitution.
Reese rejected the deal, deeming it too lenient, setting off a scramble to salvage a plea. Jenson has said Swallow and Lawson took part in those negotiations.
On May 29, 2008, Reese accepted a new deal, which required Jenson to pay $4.1 million in restitution over three years. If he did that and didn't break any other laws, the offense would be wiped away.
California, here they come • Jenson relocated to California, moving into a villa in Pelican Hill, a lavish resort near Newport Beach whose guests included the likes of comedian Chris Rock, baseball slugger Alex Rodriguez and boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard.
When the resort's owner learned of Jenson's legal issues, he asked the general manager, Paul Ruffino, to check him out. One of the references Ruffino said Jenson gave him was Shurtleff.
"Mark Shurtleff went out of his way to reassure me," Ruffino said in an interview. "[Shurtleff said], 'When I was first involved with Marc, I thought he was a pretty bad guy and the more investigating, the more I talked to people and did things, not only do I think Marc is not a bad guy, I think he's a pretty good guy.' And a lot of the things that were done to Marc prosecution-wise in Utah were because people in his office believed people they should not believe, and he was going to do everything in his power to clear his name."
A short time later, on May 5, 2009, Shurtleff and Swallow stayed in Jenson's guest villa. Receipts show they played golf and Swallow charged several purchases to Jenson's account.
Later that month, Shurtleff asked his prosecutors to look at another Jenson case one in which Jenson claimed a partner had swindled the businessman out of his interest in Mount Holly, a $3.5 billion ski and golf resort development planned near Beaver in southern Utah.
In a Sept. 23, 2009, email, Reed asked Torgensen if Shurtleff had been in California around Cinco de Mayo.
"This coincides with Mark's directive to put a bunch of Mounty [sic] Holly complaints on a fast track, involving Steve Jenson [Marc's brother] and others, who were claiming to have been bilked by some very bad men out of New York," Reed wrote. "Mark put out those complaints on May 8, arguably after having his meeting with Jenson and Lawson and getting an earful about Mt. Holly."
Lawyers in the attorney general's office had reviewed the complaints and agreed they amounted to nothing criminal just a business deal gone bad.
Jenson alleges that during Shurtleff's May trip and subsequent visits to Pelican Hill, Utah's then-attorney general shook him down, seeking connections with Jenson's wealthy friends to raise campaign money, pitching an investment in a book Shurtleff wrote, and prodding him to cough up $2 million to help settle a debt for one of Jenson's former business associates.
Shurtleff has denied Jenson's claims.
By March 2010, Shurtleff's attitude toward Jenson appears to have soured. In a curt email to Reed, Shurtleff demanded an update on a supposed earlier request to haul Jenson into court for failing to pay restitution. Reed wrote to Torgensen that he'd never seen the request.
"Where is this sudden interest coming from?" Reed asked.
Torgensen responded: "Swallow advised him to cover you-know-what."
"What does Swallow know?" Reed wondered. "Weird."
In June 2011, Shurtleff and Swallow agreed to be walled off from the Jenson case.
About two months later, a judge sent Jenson to prison after the businessman had burned through millions of dollars, but had not paid a nickel in restitution. The Utah attorney general's office later charged Jenson with a new string of felonies, alleging he had defrauded investors in the Mount Holly project. He remains in the Davis County Jail awaiting trial.
In a November 2011 email, Shurtleff insisted there was never a quid pro quo with Jenson. Shurtleff alleges Jenson's top employee tried three times to bribe him in 2007, offering to help raise Shurtleff $1 million if he dropped the case.
"I reported it to the FBI and they opened an investigation and set up a sting operation and recorded on video and audio the second two bribes," Shurtleff wrote. "This experience has made me particularly sensitive to any potential contributions from Jenson or anyone associated with him."
No bribery charges were filed.
