New York City -- Safeway will combat an aggressive crop of new rivals with an expansion that includes nine stores in the West, of which six will be in the San Francisco Bay area, according to the Oakland Tribune.
The chain plans to open stores in Pleasanton, Castro Valley, El Cerrito, Campbell, Los Gatos and Burlingame. It also is working to obtain city approvals for stores in Pleasant Hill, Emeryville and Berkeley, the report said, and is eyeing a new store in the Oakland hills.
"We are clearly opening more new stores in 2011 than we have opened in any one year over the last four or five years," said Karl Schroeder, president of Safeway's Northern California Division, in the article.
In recent months, various Safeway rivals, including Fresh & Easy and Sprouts Farmers Market, have disclosed plans for new stores in numerous spots in the Bay Area.

Alum leads purposeful life mentoring, preserving civil rights legacies
Gregory J. Reed's clients include icons of civil rights, entertainment, politics, sports
Detroit attorney Gregory J. Reed has represented civil rights icons, written award-winning books and preserved and exhibited priceless artifacts and legacies of African-American history — all part of his goal to lead a purposeful life.
"A man of strong faith, I have actively sought to keep my mind and heart open , and, as a result, I found many mentors, people I call angels, who have been willing to guide me from time to time or to pass on the baton of life that has allowed me to run in the race of life," he said.
Reed is accomplished in a variety of fields, and has long served as a mentor himself through his preservation efforts, his book writing and his life's actions, starting even before he earned his law degree from Wayne State University Law School in 1974 and his master of laws degree from Wayne in 1978.
He is the author of 16 books, including his latest — Obama Talks Back: Global Lessons – A Dialogue with America's Young Leaders, which was awarded the 2013 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Children's Literature and is nominated for a Phillis Wheatley 2013 book Award. He was honored by President Obama and Michelle Obama with a private inscribed commendation for his support in engaging youth in meaningful dialogue. His 1994 book, Economic Empowerment through the Church, won a 1994 American Book Award.
A specialist in entertainment law, intellectual property law and tax law, Reed has served as attorney for civil rights icon Rosa Parks; Dr. Charles H. Wright, a noted obstetrician and civil rights activist for whom the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History in Detroit is named; former Detroit Mayor Coleman Young; and famous sports figures including six world boxing champions. He also has helped many A-list singers, including Kid Rock, Aretha Franklin and Anita Baker, with their careers.
Along the way, he has collected and preserved artifacts and legacies of African-American historical significance, including slave papers, Motown memorabilia and the handwritten notations of Malcolm X's autobiography. Reed founded the nonprofit Keeper of the Word Foundation in 1996 to ensure that his collection will be passed on to future generations.
He also has produced exhibits of his collection in major museums, including (with Tavis Smiley) "America I Am: The African-American Imprint," which premiered at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia in 2009; a 2008 exhibit, "Dear Mr. Mandela … Dear Mrs. Parks: Children's Letters, Global Lessons," which premiered at the Michigan State University Museum and Nelson Mandela Museum in South Africa in the first international exhibit of its kind; and a traveling music exhibit, "100 Plus One … Before Motown and Beyond, Celebrating America's Music," which premiered at Chicago's Dusable Museum of African American History and set attendance records there.
On Detroit
"The greatest strength of Detroit is its blue-collar mindset and its resiliency."
Reed has traveled the world and forged friendships with the rich and famous, but his heart has always been in Detroit, where he grew up and still has a law office in a restored firehouse on Bagley Street in Corktown.
"The city has so much to offer African-Americans and others of diverse backgrounds when we give life a chance and get involved, despite the obstacles every human will encounter due to the small mindedness that exists in all races of people," he said. "The greatest strength of Detroit is its blue-collar mindset and its resiliency. To keep the city going in a positive direction will require an open mindset and unification with inclusiveness for all people sharing ideas with a can-do, entrepreneurial spirit, knowing that we are all in this together. There is something we all can do, and it starts with each and every one of us.
"We must all be more open-minded to advance the region, the state and America. This is one of the reasons why I launched in 2009 the Detroit Entertainment Commission to promote and create an economic stimulus and employment base for Detroit."
On early education
"Dr. Green molded me in a way that taught me to enter the race of life as a participant and not as a spectator."
The first "angel" in Reed's life was his mother, who taught him to value education and work. And then there was a high school counselor — Alma Whitley — at Southwestern High School. She was a strict disciplinarian, who was feared by some students, including him, before he got to know her.
"By her guidance, I became one of Detroit Public Schools' first National Merit Scholars and class president," Reed said. "She became my angel of guidance. She helped many others to realize their life's goals, as well."
He went on to Michigan State University, where he met new mentors, including Professor Harry Stephens and civil rights activist Dr. Robert Green.
"Dr. Green molded me in a way that taught me to enter the race of life as a participant and not as a spectator," Reed said. "Because of Dr. Green's encouragement, I have made many friendships from around the country, including Dr. Clifton Wharton Jr., the first African-American president of a major U.S. university (MSU)."
Green also advised Reed to meet Coleman Young, then serving as a Michigan senator.
"Dr. Green stated that Coleman Young would one day be a great leader and that he would need supporters like me," Reed said.
He met Young and was inspired by his goal of becoming Detroit's first African-American mayor.
"I got on board as one of his campaign researchers, never knowing history was in the making," Reed said.
On Wayne Law
"They were good role models."
With a degree in packaging engineering from MSU under his belt, Reed found himself limited in his ability to help others advance. So, he decided to go to law school, and chose Wayne, where he gained more mentors, including professors Edward Littlejohn, Fredrica Lombard., John Mogk and Alan Schenk.
"They were good role models," Reed said. "The environment was tough. There were only 15 African-Americans in the class, and only two of us graduated on time. Then, I decided to distinguish my degree from the other lawyers. I got a master of laws in taxation and was the first to achieve the degree in this state. There were less than 12 African-Americans in the United States with the degree. There were only 10 schools that issued the degree in the United States at the time, and WSU was one of them."
As a child, Reed collected international stamps. As a law student, Reed started collecting slave papers.
"It dawned on me about preserving culture and legacies and how important it was to preserve art, culture and history in order to help others understand the importance of advancing humanity," he said.
On the rise to influence
"Detroit has had so many angels, leaders and supporters who were great warriors and doers."
About the same time, Reed began representing athletes as an agent. He drew the interest of law firm Goodman Eden Millender and Bedrosian.
"I met attorney Robert Millender, the Detroit political kingmaker at the firm," Reed said. "Mr. Millender became a mentor of mine. I never knew he was the angel who would guide Coleman Young, Erma Henderson (the first African-American woman to serve on Detroit's City Council), Congressman John Conyers, Secretary of State Richard Austin and many others destined to be prominent or the first in their professional positions."
Detroit's Millender Center is named in honor of Millender, a civil rights activist who was the driving force behind early African-American political power in Detroit and beyond. The Robert L. and Louise Millender Memorial Lecture series at Wayne State also honors his memory.
"Detroit has had so many angels, leaders and supporters who were great warriors and doers," Reed said. "The city and its people prepared many of the nation's leaders. I have learned that if you are sincere and want to do something worthwhile, Detroit has angels who will help you."
As a newly minted attorney, Reed became an agent for professional athletes and entertainers. In 1980, he was hired to help work out some tax planning for the Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman boxing event in Zaire. Then, he was drafted to resolve tax problems holding up a Detroit match featuring Thomas Hearns and Pepino Cuevas. Thereafter, Reed was appointed to negotiate the $30 million fight between Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard. That was a key point in Reed's legal career. His reputation made, he went on to represent athletes and entertainers of the highest echelon for three decades, all the while maintaining his interest in collecting and preserving history.
In 1990, another key event in his life took place, seemingly out of the blue.
"Mrs. Rosa Parks walked into my office and asked me to be her attorney," Reed said. "She was one of the most notable great persons I ever met, a saint above all who prepared me to be more humble in all of my affairs."
Reed created a plan to resurrect her legacy, which was largely overlooked at the time, he said. With his guidance and promotion, Parks was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal. A U.S. postage stamp was created in her honor, as was a museum in Montgomery, Ala. And as a result, her "quiet strength" — a term coined by Reed — lives on to inspire new generations.
Two years later, Reed was appointed to serve as the attorney for Nelson Mandela's Detroit committee in preparation for the South African icon's first visit to the city. But he didn't actually met Mandela until 2008, when Reed served as his personal escort to the South African exhibit of "Dear Mr. Mandela … Dear Mrs. Parks: Children's Letters, Global Lessons." That exhibit will be shown in 2014 at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Ky.
"The irony of it is that I was chosen to be a part of the original planning committee f or that center to have it built," Reed said. "Now the center will have one of my exhibits. I was also once selected as the co-chairman to host Muhammad Ali's Detroit visit and accompanied him during his visit."
On his own legacy
"We cannot allow the gains we have made to erode."
Reed, who has helped to preserve the legacy of so many people, hopes his own legacy is one that helps to inspire all people, despite their circumstances.
"I have used the scarce resources of what I had to advance humanity despite the odds that were against me and so many others," he said.
"My message to Detroit and to the world is that we must come together and live as one. We cannot allow the gains we have made to erode. Although we have a long way to go, I do believe that we can achieve Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream for a better world. From time to time, I catch a glimpse of that world. I can see a world where children do not learn hatred in their homes. I can see a world where mothers and fathers have the last and most important word. I can see a world in which all adults protect the innocence of child ren. I can see a world in which people do not call each other names based on skin color. I can see a world free of acts of violence.
"I can see a world in which people of all races and all religions work together to improve the quality of life for everyone. If we will look to God and work together — not only here but everywhere — then others will see this world, too, and help to make it a reality."

Supplementing with vitamins has become big business. Americans spend an average of $17 billion per year on their supplements. I have been among them until recently. I took a break from my vitamin regimen after I learned that I was not properly absorbing my nutrients and was deficient in several areas. I wondered how that could be…
It seems that those of us with Leaky Gut Syndrome, a condition in which the lining of the intestines becomes more permeable than it should be, tend to be malnourished. Food molecules that normally wouldn't pass through the intestinal wall, slip by and alarm our immune system. Consequently, microphages come to the rescue and attack the foreign invader and we develop antibodies as a result. The next time that same food passes through our system, whether it slips through the intestinal wall or not, our body says, "There's that foreign invader again!" and goes in for the attack. More and antibodies develop until we have a whole slew of food sensitivities—but that is a subject for another day.
I have been wondering how a foodie like me, who eats whole grains, beans, greens, fresh fruits and vegetables could become malnourished. Ironic, huh? Well, after much reading and discussion with my functional medicine and osteopathic physicians, I have a few answers.
When people with Leaky Gut take supplements, their digestive systems work about as well with vitamins as they do with food. Some of the nutrients get metabolized and reach their intended destination and some fail. According to my doctor, it is the metabolic pathway that is to blame. If that isn't functioning properly, we seem to get stuck in a rut of compromised health. He explained that going after the resulting food sensitivities and allergies is like trying to catch the fragments once a bomb has gone off. You may get some, but many more will elude you and you will go around and around chasing after them.
The key is healing the underlying malfunction of the system. That takes probiotics, targeted supplements to heal specific areas in the metabolic pathway, and an increase in certain vitamins. Most of us don't get nearly enough of the nutrients our bodies' desire from our food or multi-vitamins. Years of single crop farming, pesticides and synthetic fertilizer have left our crops fairly malnourished as well. And, like us, in their compromised state, they require intervention to keep them from dying. Fortunately, we can get tested for our nutritional deficiencies and specifically target them with the correct supplements.
It seems that the quickest way for someone with food sensitivities to get their fair share of nutrients is by juicing. Max Gerson, MD, discovered after World War II a regimen that could literally cure cancer. Of course everyone is different, and it can't cure all forms and all people, but it seems to have prolonged the life of many patients. Gerson's daughter, Charlotte, has continued his work both in the US and in Mexico. I decided to take a page from their nutritional book and began juicing carrots and apples every day during the holidays. My husband and I continue to drink a delicious, 8-ounce glass of organic juice to raise our level of nutrients every day. Next, we will add in a daily greens juice with an apple to make it more palatable.
As for the vitamins, I'll take my C, B, minerals, magnesium, calcium, and fish oil, as well as a multivitamin. I need whatever nourishment can get through my system. I won't rely solely on any one source, though. I am also careful to make sure I know what is in each supplement I take, so I don't get lots of synthetic fillers that my body doesn't recognize or use.
The bottom line is that we are an undernourished overweight society. Convenience and easy access has cost us much more than our dollar. It has long-term health costs and consequences we are only beginning to understand. We would probably all do well to take a page from Gerson's book and nourish ourselves back to health through whole fresh foods, juicing and targeted nutritional supplements.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Jul 5, 2010.
Very Interesting article. What's Up With JD? NorthJersey.com: Talk with Dumars
I guess all GMs or potential GMS will wait til dust settles in FA. for Dumars: a glimpse to new organization - who is this Prokhorov?? ...or rats are running from sinking ship, right?
With Dumars record as GM, the Russian will probably scoop Joe in a New York minute. Rather than talk about free agents, we need to be discussing who would make a good GM for the Pistons. All the folks who wanted Joe D gone, you may finally get your wish. Just be careful what you wish for. I think I am gonna be sick.
I'd join you if it comes to pass, but you never turn down an interview.... you always listen, but I hope he's just doing that... But if your a GM, I think you just once would want to work for an owner with pockets that never end, I'd have to wish him the best. I am not giving up before the story even has a chance to get legs though.
I am with you Round, also just read another article which states that if Joe does not get the Nets job, the NO Hornets will make a strong push for him. I wish him the best, but I would hate like heck to see him go.
While Joe has his critics among fans, the Detroit media treats him like a demi-god. That will not be the case in NY/NJ. That said, a chance to be the GM that leads the team into Brooklyn, be the highest paid exec in the league, plus inherit the cap situation without having to live through several crappy seasons. Very tempting.
I hear ya Tally. Don't forget, Joe's predecessor inherits a cash strapped team with several horrible contracts yeeeesh.
I sure hope this isn't true.
Vince Ellis reporting Dumars says he didn't interview with the Nets.
Which means he just left the interview...lol
Chris Iott of Mlive also reporting via text message from Joe, he answered "No" when asked whether or not he interviewed. News outlets are reporting it, it grew legs from somewhere.
Time to bring back Dick Vitale...
i am guessing they talked about things, but Joe didn't consider it an interview for the job, just talking shop with a new owner.... He didn't say he didn't talk, and didn't take a followup question.
It would probably be nice for Joe to be able to spend freely. I doubt the Russian guy says things like, 'We are spending a lot of money now!'.
When offered an interview, you have to listen to the offer, especially if Beyonce has her office next to yours..... Hate to see Joe go, but all good things must eventually come to an end..
If this is true, then we'll find out how much of a risk-taker JD is. If he's ambitious and willing to take some risk, then a wide open playing field in a major market with an owner willing to spend money is the best ticket he could write.
yes and no, by the time he'd take over all that money would be spent for this year... I think its pretty unfair to any incoming GM that there getting the job after free agency is all but over. I don't care when your contract is over, your job should be done the day your team finishes playing for the year. If they were making a change the guy should have been in the fold for the draft.
More true than not. All this does not surprise me. Actually there have been clues dropped for some time. AG wonders about legs. Here are some:The ownership situation is the point of no return for JD. The Illitch team will work differently. Could be up or down...hard to say. For sure, Wilson is the center of the enterprise merry-go-round and will not run the Pistons. However, this current mess is going to take some serious over-sight. I have always been impressed with Rich Cho (Seattle to OLK) and it will take that type of good mind to steer the right course.You can bet that A.Johnson is tweaking the ear of Mikhail Prokhorov. The former not only likes the money, but keeps a soft spot toward control. It certainly was one factor in his denial against coaching the pistons. Prokhorov might be giving Johnson a wide birth.Interesting group that the Nets are concentrating on. Sam Presti is probably somewhere in the mix. Dumars and Bower are peas out of the same pod. Not the most effervescent type of personalities, but then again, that main course is supplied by Johnson.This is a great opportunity for JD. I hope he is selected. New ownership, new organization, new stadium, and lots of money. Regardless, JD has made himself available. More of these things to come.
Well, this isn't your typical tea-time break over a glass table situation. There will be some heavy chaos over the next few years in the NBA. A lot of these dumb contracts will come back to haunt owners and their representatives. A few teams might not make it. For sure, certainly the Nets owner will survive. He has that 6-10 inch view...yes?
Can't blame Joe D. for keeping his options open. With all the chaos going on at the Palace he has to look out for himself. Maybe he didn't interiview with the Nets, but that doesn't mean he didn't sit down and talk with them informally about their opening. Davidson's widow is slowly running Mr. D's empire into the ground. Just goes to show that she is not business savy. The team is certainly worth less than it was last year and worth even less with Wilson and his crew gone. You can even say with Joe D. gone it further dimishes the value of the franchise. The stabiltity is gone. Hopefully someone will step up to buy the Pistons soon. We might end up being the Midwest version of the ownership in Memphis.

Its not personal, its just biology.Posted: July 12th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Advanced Placement Biology, Biology, blessing, curse, Education, Human, Nature, number one, Species, Teaching Resources, Technology, transcend | No Comments »
Number one took AP Biology this year and at one point he had a startling revelation: from a biological perspective the only point of existence is to reproduce, thus perpetuating the species. Think about it, from birth to death, every action of every creature can be indirectly traced back to this genetically hard-wired imperative.
Don't argue with science, selfishness is just part of our programming. The same can be said for lying, stealing and even killing, its our nature. Its who we are. But why stop there, when competing for scarce resources that may insure the survival of the species, war and genocide are just 2 more tools in our collective belts. Its not personal, its just biology.
As extreme and absurd as the above sounds, in actuality, it is unfortunately reflective of our shared history. That said, are we also willing to allow it to become our destiny? Science can only define what can be defined with in conventional means and as such, if we don't have the technology to repeatedly observe something, for all intents and purposes, it does not exist until we actually acquire the requisite capabilities. The true blessing of being human is that the potential exists within all of us to transcend our biology, intellectually, spiritually and physically. Our curse however, is that generation after generation, as a species, we have repeatedly, collectively failed to fully recognize this blessing. And as the Red Sox have demonstrated, one day all curses come to an end.

Finished my table and want to do some Vac pulls of armor and a mask. What would be the best type material and thickness? Easiest to find and cheapest. Dont really care about quality at this point just want to give it a test run and see how it pulls.
Styrene sheet is the usual weopon of choice for vacuum forming. you can get various sizes and thicknesses at www.usplastic.com if you order any thing big , have them cut it down to size so you dont pay an arm and a leg for shipping. I was ordering a 4'x8' sheet of ABS plastic and it was only around 40 bucks, but then when they gave me a shipping quote of $195 I cancelled my order and found out later on that they can cut it down.
wow how about using other sources of plastic? I have heard of plastic being boiled such as trash cans. is that cheaper? how about white bucket abs plastic?
alternatively I had the exact same thing happen as zombierepellent.
what thickness plastic would be suff. ?
which ever you prefer. a lot of people use around .090 thichness which is about the thickness of 2 credit cards. other things like jason masks and what not about 1/8" I'm too lazy to convert into a decimal tho
I get my plastic locally at a sign shop. Look in the yellow pages for either sign shops or plastics places and they may have styrene,ABS or whatever. If not they should be able to order it for you so you don't have to pay big shipping prices. I usually use .060,.080 and sometimes .090 for sturdy not so detailed pieces. If you have something small and detailed you can go to like .040.
go practice with "for sale" signs... they are styrene and usually cheap!
For armor , I use .100 styrene on average.. If you need something with lots of details.. then drop down to a .080 thickness
.060 will come out beautiful, but will be thin...
It all depends on he application for the final product..
Styrene is fun and easy to use. I had a huge piece from a damaged shower surround that I bought off of a hardware store a few years ago. Here's how it went:
Hmm I saw Phantom at the Magestic in NYC this summer.
Whats up Tim.
I'm using .90 styrene (High Impact) from GEPolymershapes in Mira Mesa and its pulling well on a 4.5HP vac. A 8'x4' ran about 25.00-30.00, and they will cut it down to (4) 4'x2's for free. I am curious to try .60 on some pieces, but as others have said, it could get quite thin.
You could always try .60 and back it with fiberglass. Of course, I've never vacformed or worked with fiberglass before, so I'm not the best person to take advice from. :lol
lol, is it really that hard for a beginner, I'm working on a secret film project, and I need to make a few things of armor and helmets for it.
Im probable going to try 60. becauses its alot cheaper on USplatics. I need it in sheets of 22" by 22". Can they cut it down to that size when i order?


text: I would not re-sign Rodney Stuckey to anything other than his Qualifying offer. Has nothing to do with talent but he is indeed Marvin Williams. If you look at Atlanta Marvin Williams doesn't have a bad contract, he's not a bad player, but he's clearly the weak link in their talent chain and they're paying him money that would be better spent elsewhere. I think Det needs to focus on (A) Getting Ben Gordon back to being being Ben Gordon, and as a starter he has returned form. (B) Get JJ, Daye, Monroe all playing & working together. (C) Clear space and get a low post scorer (*cough*Z-Bo*cough) (D) Clear more space and get a PG (*cough*Deron Williams*cough). Do you really think Miami started preparing to sign Bosh and James last year? A starting lineup of T-Mac/Bengo/Daye-or JJ/GM/Z-Bo can compete next year and if you can clear CV, Rip and Max, we can make a real run at D-Will, BTW, I'd trade Tay right now for an expiring as long they the other team will take back Jason Maxiel.

By Chris Harris
Aaron Ramsey's attitude has been "first-class" throughout his rehabilitation, according to the man who oversaw his comeback match.
Neil Banfield's Reserve team featured Ramsey for the first half of Tuesday's 2-1 win over Wolves and the Wales midfielder emerged unscathed - if understandably tired - from his first appearance since suffering a double leg fracture at Stoke nine months ago.
Banfield has seen Ramsey at close quarters since the 19-year-old was hurt in February and the second-string manager has nothing but praise for the way he has conducted himself on the long road back to fitness.
"He's been first class," Banfield told Arsenal.com. "His application and attitude in getting back to training and getting fit has been outstanding.
"It's always extremely pleasing when someone comes back after such a horrific injury. Breaking your leg is obviously one of the worst ones you can get. To see him running around freely is a testament to the medical staff at the Club and his attitude to getting fit. It's fantastic to see him playing again.
"I think he had a good run out [against Wolves]. He was obviously puffing a little bit but we used the game for what we wanted him to do and hopefully the next game will be 60 minutes and we will go from there."
On the evidence of Tuesday's game Ramsey's touch is still intact. Just as importantly, given what happened in February, he did not shy away from the physical side of the game.
"I think obviously there were going to be a few nerves for his first game and his first tackle, he wants to get through and he's going to be a bit wary of things," said Banfield. "But he's got through fine and we can go from there.
"When he first received the injury a lot of people spoke to him but it's always in the back of your mind until you play. You think 'it's my injury and how am I going to be when I put the boots on and go through that first tackle and first challenge?' But he came through very well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by DickButtonFan, Jun 28, 2010.
Happy Birthday Maria!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday, Maria!
Happy Birthday Masha! Still one of my all-time favourites.
Happy Birthday to DickButtonFan, as well!
Happy 38th!
38 ... and she is gorgeous. There's hope for any of us !
Happy b-day Masha !
Happy Birthday Maria!
I miss the subtle drama and maturity she brought to the ice.
С Днем Рождения, Маша! Вы и Ваша семья так прекрасны!
happy bday to this beautiful bombshell! the only Russian lady skater I truly loved to watch...how i miss her dearly
I had a dream about her yesterday!!
Happy 30s to this Russian zaznoba.
Happy 50th Maria! You look great!
Is she really 38?? time flies
Happy birthday! I had to double take when I saw she was 38.
Is she still with her boy toy hockey playing hubby? I love that Maria is a cougar.
Happy belated birthday to my favorite skater ever! I first watched her while randomly watching 97 Worlds and was intrigued by the pissed off redheaded Russian with the cracked out green costume. It was love at first sight.
And I don't care what anyone says, this is the best ladies short program since Baiul's 1994 SP.
I was surprised she didnt get any 6.0s when she skated last. She was clearly the winner of the SP so it is not like they had to hold back her marks.
Masha was always judged unfairly. From the '98 Olympic bronze she lost to Chen Lu, to the '01 World bronze she lost to Sarah Hughes, and to being placed below Hughes in the SLC Olympic SP. She certainly wasn't a judges' pet. The only time I thought she got help from the judges was at the 1998 Worlds SP.
I agree. She should have gotten all those placings you refer to. She was also undermarked in the 95-96 and 96-97 seasons before she became somewhat of a "name".
Ladies skating has never been the same since she quit.
She was the real "lady," so feminine and elegant. Such amazing personality on the ice. A real diva.
There isn't really anyone quite like her.
So at the age of 28, I find myself a groupie, stalking the "Champions on Ice" skaters at Madison Square Garden.
When I asked Maria for her autograph, right after she won Worlds, she looked shocked that anyone in the States knew who she was.
Me: "I'm so happy you won!"
Maria: "I am too!"
Then later she mentions somewhere (FS International? Blades?) about getting asked for an autograph in NYC and how surprised she was to be famous.
LOVE her! Happy Birthday, girl!
This SP was one of the BEST! Love watching this even today.. AHH!!! Happy BDAY Maria!!!!
Wow, that short program. Thank you for reminding me of this.
I remember being totally blown away by it, I wasn't expecting it at all.
I remember watching her when I was a kid. I really looked up to her because she was skating still at 26+, I thought that was so amazing because my coaches would tell me I'd never do triple jumps because I started so late ( I prooved them wrong btw ha ). Maria was my proof you could still skate when you're older. I just love her for never giving up. And of course she was so gorgeous I wanted to look like her. Does anyone know if she still skates or coaches. It'd be such a shame if she didn't.
I actually got to see her skate live and took a bunch of pics. Unfortunately I was in the nose bleed seats so the photos didn't turn out so good lol.
She coaches Emma Hagieva who is a Russian skater representing Azerbeijan and has been with her at 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy.
She looked really rough, with massive roots, and we could not believe it was actually her, until we made a picture and took a close up.
Oh Maria!
I would imagine she must have a lot of younger students who aren't competetive internationally yet.
Good to know she is coaching. Yeah she looks like maybe she was trying to grow her hair out there. Maybe she didn't want to damage her hair from the dye? I noticed back when she was 20 something she was starting to lose her hair it's too bad but it's just part of the aging process plus she had a baby.
Sorry for the late one.Happy birthday,Maria!One of my favourite skaters 4ever!
Looking back at Maria's career there are 2 things I wonder:
1. If she had won the Olympic bronze in 1998 would she have been content turning pro after 1999 or 2000 and have had a much better pro career than she ended up having?
2. If she had skated better in the LP and defended her World title in 2000, making her a back to back World Champion, would she have been more of a force and threat heading into the 2002 Olympics than she ended up being?
3. If judges hadn't been marking her unfairly all the way through her career, wouldn't she have been much more of a threat than she was?
(Rhetorical question )
Honestly, placing her SP below Kwan (huge cheat on 3flip and slight flutz) and Hughes (don't even get me started on that joke of a skater) at 2002 Olympics was just beyond .
Belated happy birthday Maria. One of my all time favourite skaters. She had many great performances.
Winning worlds in 1999
1998 Olympics Short
2001 Worlds
I thought she was robbed in the SLC short programme. It would be great to see her students have success on the international stage in the future.
Unfortunately her 2002 Olympics SP was not one of her best. I did think she was undermarked all the same but it also wasnt a great performance.
On top of the bland music, Butyrskaya chose to do her two worst elements to close to program, and with no speed at all: a circular spiral sequence that really didn't do any favors for her lack of flexibility (something she was able to mask in other programs with different patterns), and the layback spin. I was obviously a huge Maria fan, but this short program was 1000 times worse than her three prior programs (Fever, St. James Infirmary, and Scene d'Amour).
In any event, she should have beaten Hughes. Then again, Sebestyen, Suguri, Robinson, Meier, and Gusmeroli all might have also deserved to beat Sarah.

Ken Burns joins benefit for Monadnock film festival
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | March 25. 2014 10:09PM
"An Evening with Ken Burns" is planned from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Main Street chocolate shop and café.
"This is our first real public fundraiser," said MonIFF Executive Director Laina Barakat. "We just have $15,000 more to raise. We would love to be able to walk away with all of that on Sunday, but I think our goal is we would like to make a minimum of $5,000 at the event."
Filmmakers this year hail from Kosovo, Spain, France, Austria, Germany and Brazil.
"This year we have a ton more international filmmakers," Barakat said.
"We featured his film last year and gave him the Jonathan Daniels award, that was his first contact with the festival," Barakat said of Burns.

Woven in a tapestry of rich history, Penang encompasses both an island and a mainland. It also holds a glamorous moniker as Malaysia's 'Pearl of the Orient' for being among the most profitable of ports during the period of colonisation. The famous author Somerset Maugham is also known to have stayed on the island and spun tales about the romance of the white planter in Southeast Asia. Today, the island retains much of its old-world charm and is revered for its amazing food culture.
Board a flight into Penang to experience this premier beach destination in Malaysia. Two of the most popular spots, Tanjung Bungah and Batu Feringghi are well developed 'island paradises' featuring top range accommodations and some natural attractions. The most unique aspect of the island is perhaps how cultures combine seamlessly so don't be surprised to find a mosque, Chinese or Indian temple a few hundred metres away from each other. Georgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracts many visitors for its many sights, sounds and endless array of food, while others prefer to kick back and enjoy at the beach.


text: You may be right. I wouldn't feel 100% confident betting against that, but I would definitely feel > 50% confident. You seem to be going to an extreme to emphasize the point that he isn't as good as others claim. I've seen the opposite tactic when certain people state that a player will end up in the HOF. But imagine if you had to put real money on a prediction like that. Odds are that no matter how badly he plays this year, he will get another contract and he will get another chance. Look at Stromile Swift or Darko. Big men tend to stick around.

The ultimate in cross-over ski technology, skis designed to deliver maximum performance with unparalleled efficiency. The all-new 2016 Cross-Over Collection marries the high performance design of a Syndicate ski, with the ultra-efficient Clean Edge technology of a Freeride ski. The all new 2016 HO design team began with a record-breaking Syndicate ski design, increased the surface area of the ski by one ski size from the tip of the ski to the just behind the heel of the rear foot. Behind the rear foot the skis transition from traditional to futuristic, as the sidewalls rotate inward like a wakeboard edge and ski bevels disappear in the tail section of the ski. The combination of these two features allows the water to release cleanly off the bottom of the ski, as opposed to the traditional ski design in which water wraps around the bevel of the ski, up the sidewall and releases of the upper edge of the ski, thereby reducing the drag associated with this portion of the ski by 50%. Clean Edge technology is a step into the modern age of ski design and the lack of physical effort required to ride these skis will forever change a skier's perception of what is possible. Imagine riding a Syndicate ski designed to rip off 60 turns instead of 6 and you will begin to understand the powerful combination of performance and efficiency skiers are tapping into on HO Cross-Over Collection skis.

There will be lot of structures, evidence for intelligent life, but they will not find any intelligent beings.
I would like to see Buddhism leading us to a better life, one with less suffering, where people can live life after life and enjoy it. So who ever want to attain Nirvan can do so and who ever want to stay enjoying life also can do so. Is there any chance for that?

Then there would still be animals (in this hypothetical). Eventually another intelligent species might evolve after several million years.
But why would you want to live life after life? Why not reach Nibbana in this life, live free of suffering, and then simply not arise any longer? People who want to just stay in Samsara can if they want to, but they'll be happier if they strive for Nibbana.

Hi C J,
If you're still interested in that view, you might find the Mahayana appealing. They have the bodhisattva vow where they choose to remain in samsara and make it a better place and help other sentient beings along on the Path.
It is not too appealing to me (and probably not too many others here on this Theravada forum) since it sounds apocalyptic (that there can be an "end" time); but if it is something that really appeals to you, you might want to check out some Mahayana traditions, such as Zen, Vajrayana, etc.
I see you are from Sri Lanka, where most everyone is Theravada, but I know of at least one Sri Lankan monk who switched to Mahayana.
C J wrote:Thanks for the input.
Yes, you are right, I'm a Theravada Buddhist. I believe Mahayana has changed from Buddhas real teaching, and Theravada to be most pure. What do you think? If that is the case I'd rather not follow Mahayana. I'll practice Theravada Buddhism until my wisdom matures to understand real truth. May be this is the kind of thinking that lead to Mahayana, don't you think.

Amputee pushes disabled athletes to aspire for more
Achilles International, the nonprofit Dick Traum started almost 30 years ago provides free athletic training, support and a sense of community to more than 10,000 disabled athletes in 70 countries worldwide. For more than 30 years, Dick Traum's nonprofit has been providing free training and support for disabled athletes.
The idea is relatively simple. At weekly runs, able-bodied volunteers are matched with disabled runners who have a variety of physical and mental challenges.
"Amputees, strokes, autism, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy -- you probably can't think of a disability that's not represented," Traum said.
Running side by side, the athletes get in shape, build confidence and make friends.

He has 4 banty hens that are laying eggs and I am going to incubate them soon, been gathering them. There is another banty hen that he was the sire, (is that what they are called in chicky language, hee, hee) to. She is pretty, she looks like the other bantys except that she has the fluffy neck feathers and a darker head. Her eggs are light beige though. I know she was hatched from him because of the neck. The other banties were hatched out from another banty rooster we had, they look just like him, sleek, we don't have him anymore.It is funny, this banty rooster is quite friendly as is his 1/2 daughter. The other three banty hens are freaks!!! I have never seen more skittery birds and I really am not impressed with them, they bug me because they are so skittery.
JP, you wouldn't believe this. Remember that post of Brian's where he spoke about "when animals talk" and he can decipher what they are saying. Whoppo was hissing that he would have rather gone to your great big roaster bag with the spices and onions than go to this new place where he will be with other drakes. He won't be king of their yard, he was an amazing bird, hee, hee. Have this wonderful and awesome day, enjoy.....dream of that Whoppo dinner!!! Cindi

Hey Kliminati,
I've seen your thread before and have been following it! I think I've given up the idea of the V8 grill swap...it does indeed look like a ton of work. I'm still planning on putting the V8-style all-red tails on my 91 avant though. I'd also like to do clear-corners up front.
My car needs a repaint, and was debating whether to go with a more "shocking" blue, like the car above.
I'll keep an eye on your project build!

I would like to make a Skirata costume and was wondering if anyone else has pictures of there's and if they had any advice on how to and what would be easier cause im a rookie at this.
I would like to make a Skirata costume and was wondering if anyone else has pictures of there's and if they had any advice on how to and what would be easier cause im a rookie at this.
First of you want to make your armour. Kal's armour is what Karen calls "Classic" which is Jango style full leg armour and armoured spats etc. I spoke to her a while back regarding a Skirata that one of the KOTE Mandos was doing and she told me that Kal's tri-bladed knife is based on a knife her father brought back from Egypt after serving there. It resembles something akin to this:
It's concealed in the housing of the left gauntlet with the blade pointing up, so that it could be drawn and used or thrown with the right hand (out of armour it is kept up his right sleeve, blade pointed down). At the time she hadn't decided for certain if it replaced the flame unit box or not, but thought it the most likely place for it.
Most of the KOTE Mandos info is here:
Thanx OrtharRrith
The knife looks a bit long though. It's only "15 centimeter = 5.905 511 811 inch" So roughly, 6 inches over all.
It's sandy gold, not shiny gold. Think of literal gold sand color. Jsut as long as it isn't al lthat glossy..non-glossy if you can find it. "Order 66" made it clear about that.
"Triple Zero" describes claws marks on the face of the helmet.
Should i make this a clean version armor and say it's a younger version of Kal skirata or go with the claw marks and weathered...What do u all think
it also mentioned red trim and unreadable symbols on the helmet. My own skirata project is on hold until my funds recoup.
clean mandalorians are not nearly as much fun to look at. Go dirty
It looks like the jumpsuit is also dark grey. It's shown in the full picture of your avatar.
Hasbro's Mil Gilimar figure was originally going to be Skirata, but Karan thought the head mold was too young, and got Hasbro to change the name. It doesn't have the claw marks on the helmet, but that's not surprising since it's a small figurine.
Is the jet pack normally the last thing ppl buy to top off there costumes?...I got to start managing my money better and quit buyin action figures everytime i go to town
From what I've seen, yes. Genreally it's the suit, then the jet pack. But it differs from person to person. I'd reccomend doing the jet pack last.
I honestly just checked here every day on the cargo hold and got the jet pack when I found one that I wanted. The best way is your own way. Go at your own pace, and find the parts you want, never settle. It may take longer, but hey....if something is worth having, it should be worth waiting for, right? (I also understand impatience lol)
I haven't read Order 66 yet so my info MAY be out of date (it's on order - am in the UK ) but Skirata doesn't wear a jet pack.
I just always pictured each mando with a jet pack with the hopes that atleast some point in there life they more than likely had one...plus they look cool
Karen once said to me that relatively few Mandos have them, most of them consider jet packs a little insane, even for a bunch of insanely psychopathic warriors.
well that would be one less piece I'd have to worry about ....Thanx to everyone who has been kind enough to give some input
I can not get past the fact the artwork for Kal(the picture for "Kals" avatar) looks amazingly like the actor Ed Harris
yeah she must have fell in love with him or something...Seen the abyss on today while i was walking through the house...Skirata ftw
you are right skirata has No jet pack. See the star wars games minature Republic Commando Training seargeant. source 1 the pic that you are using as an avatar source 2 and the same pic with the helmet source 3. though I know some may argue due to the lack of available detail on mthe mini, lack of costume detailes in the 2 pics.
Mij gilamar minus the jet pack is what im thinkin of and adding some weathering
You'd also need to lose the Deece 15a and have the verp shatter gun (that's a pistol) and a custom Westar 34, not to mention the afore mentioned gouges across the T visor trim which should be red as well as what are probably Mandalorian glyphs on the helmet.
As to the artwork, don't forget that Karen isn't the artist, it would be very easy for her to have said to the artist "I see Kal as looking a little like an Ed Harris type character" for the artist to have run with that. Alternatively, and just as likely; the artist could have had the idea all on his own. Infact I'm sure I have read somewhere that she actually visualised Kal as looking like someone else... my memory for the exact details is currently eluding me.
The Verpine shatter gun is a pistol, looks a bit like a weird electric whisk according to the only picture I've found! The Verpine sniper rifle on the other hand is bigger and more the size of a shotgun.
Has anyone ever made any custom thermal detonators and if so any pics
You might even be able to make a verpine sniper rifle with an airsoft shotgun. Would ahve to mod the hell out of it, but it would work.
I think at that point you're probably better off starting from scratch with some wood and pvc for the sniper rifle

Grateful Londonderry High School teens invite veterans to breakfast
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | October 22. 2013 10:09PM
Londonderry High School's community service group, the Pay It Forward Club, will host a free breakfast for area veterans in the school cafeteria Nov. 9. Pictured from left to right are club members Nick Flanders, Marissa Roger, Colby Austin, Chantal Reid and Eric Kinnison, with club adviser Assistant Principal Katie Sullivan. (APRIL GUILMET PHOTO)
On Nov. 9, Londonderry High School's Pay It Forward Club will host a free breakfast for area veterans.
Club adviser Katie Sullivan said members held a similar event two years ago but were unable to do so last year due to lack of funding.
"One of my fondest memories is seeing my kids chatting with World War II veterans and hearing their stories," Sullivan said. "You just can't put a price on those moments."
New Hampshire First Bank, one of the club's longtime sponsors, will also be lending a hand with the event, while the family of former club member Jackie Geisler also donated money.
Sullivan said she and the teens have been working closely with the local American Legion to spread word of the upcoming breakfast. Immediately following the meal, club members plan on escorting the veterans to the parade's starting point, with golf carts available for those who have difficulty walking.
Club members also will be baking muffins and tea breads to share with their guests.The veterans breakfast will take place Nov. 9 from 8 to 10 a.m. in the Londonderry High School cafeteria. Breakfast is free to all veterans, and each veteran may bring one guest. Additional guests are welcome for a small donation.

Thinking of installing a solar or photovoltaic (PV) system to generate electricity? Columbia Water & Light encourages you to review this basic information and also conduct detailed research to see if this renewable energy technology is right for you. Watch our video for an overview of how a photovoltaic system installed in Columbia and how it is set up for net metering. In Missouri, residents' solar rights are protected in the state statutes.
NOTE: Photovoltaic rebate funding has been allocated for the year (Oct. 2016 - Sept. 2017). Please submit your rebate and net metering application to be placed on the rebate waiting list in case additional funding becomes available.
How does a solar system work?
Photovoltaic (PV) systems capture the electric current created by the interaction between sunlight and a semiconductor.
Solar energy systems usually don't produce enough electricity for the average home or business in the Midwest so a back-up source of electricity is generally required. In Columbia, a customer can sign up for net metering which allows the solar producer to sell any excess electricity generated from the PV system and buy electricity when it is needed.
The diagram on the right shows how a solar energy system can be hooked into the utility's electric distribution system.
Consider replacing your roof it is nearing the end of its life span before installing a solar energy system.
Until 2020, the Federal government offers a tax credit for installing a solar system for up to 30% of the cost. Consult with your accountant or check the Energy Star website for more information.
Columbia Water & Light offers a one-time $500 per kilowatt rebate for qualifying solar energy systems. There is a 10 kilowatt cap on Columbia Water & Light's solar energy system rebate. If you are planning to install a larger system, please contact us about the possibility of a special arrangement. Columbia Water & Light also offers low-interest loans to help you finance your project.
Net Metering
Columbia Water & Light will pay the customer's current applicable electric rate for the electricity generated by the customer's solar energy system that is delivered to Columbia Water & Light. This arrangement offers the customer more than what the Missouri Statutes for net metering require. An Interconnection & Net Metering agreement must be approved by the utility for the customer to receive a credit for the energy they generate. There is a 100 kilowatt capacity cap on the net metering arrangement and the utility retains the renewable energy credits for the project. If a customer wants to retain the renewable energy credits for a solar energy system, the electric generating rate credit will be based on the avoided average energy market price at the Columbia pricing node.
Costs of PV equipment are dependent on the type of system, where it is installed, the efficiency rating, the manufacturer/retailer and labor costs. Equipment costs make solar produced electricity more expensive than electricity purchased from Columbia Water & Light. A two kilowatt system installed in Columbia is estimated to cost around $7,000. After deducting a $1,800 federal tax credit and a $1,000 Columbia Water & Light rebate the final cost would be $4,200. A one kilowatt rated solar energy system in Columbia generally produces between 1,200 and 1,400 kilowatt hours in one year. In this example, a two kilowatt system would produce between 2,400 and 2,800 kilowatt hours a year for the $4,600 investment.
It is best to place PV modules where they receive exposure to the sun most of the day, all year long. Check your roof throughout the day to see if it is clear of any obstructions that might cause shading. Your contractor can also help evaluate your location.
If the space or the solar exposure for a PV system is limited, consider going to a system with a higher efficiency rating. They are more expensive but make more energy with less square footage of module space.
Columbia Water & Light can not endorse any PV system contractors. There are a number of national agencies that keep lists of solar contractors that can be obtained through the Internet or over the phone. It is important to ask the contractor for references, licenses and certifications.
Listed below is the order in which you need to proceed with your PV project to receive a rebate and enter into a net metering agreement. Please review the Interconnection & Net Metering Agreement for a detailed list of requirements for PV systems that are attached to the Columbia Water & Light electric distribution system.
This information taken from Columbia Ordinance - Chapter 27, Section 27-164

Hi Lainy and Ted.....Wonderful poem; how I can relate as the New Year comes upon us. Hoping all is well in Arizona.
Bless you,
Hello Jeff!!!!! We are so happy that you had a good Christmas!!!!!!!!!! One prayer was answered! Now lets aim for New Years!!! We are doing fine. Teddy went through the CK and only got tired. Not even as bad as the radiation tired. Next step is ONC Jan 9th and the new Urologist Jan 15th. We are breathing easier now even though we know surprises lie around the corner. We have to take advantage of the here and now! So good, our friend, to see you on line!
Hi Lainy, New Years Eve will be some what comfortable and quiet, unless Valerie has made some secret plans for the Grand Children. Ha! You just never know with her? Well I bought on line a special made rib/sternum support vest today. Nothing like the ace bandage that slips and rolls. Well I hope so any how. It is measured to fit, padded/velcro, not one of those twenty foot things that get you dizzy buy the time you get wrapped Ha!
Hope all goes well at the urologist on the 9th.

I watched this hive again this afternoon. Several drones were coming out of the correct entrance and flying off, but I saw several come back and land under the hive on the SBB. There may be about 300 bees, 2-3 deep here now. I'll check tonight and see if they go in, but I doubt it. Does this (drones) signal any dire consequences such as swarming??? I can not really suit up and address this until Friday Afternoon. Also, I have been feeding them with a Miller feeder.
Should I make a little "Entrance" sign?
Brian,Do you have any pics of your bottomless hives? Also, I don't know how often you move your hives around, but what is the practicability of bottomless hives if you have to move your hives once or twice a year?
I move them stand and all.
QuoteI move them stand and all. Sorry, I should have been more specific. In moving, I mean vehicular transport. Still works with this application?

I had an oiled filter, won't name brand and it ended up coating my MAF with oil and it did not work. My engine ran rough. I cleaned the MAF and installed an AEM filter and it runs terrific. This is a great product, I even bought another one for my Roushcharged Mustang CAI, it came with an oiled air filter too.

I had a short ram on my 323 already but i did need to get one with a carb sticker. This is good if you need one with a carb sticker otherwise i recomend otherwise finding something a little cheaper.
