Merry Snowy Christmas

Though its not supposed to be released till next month on DVD, a friend of mine was able to get me a copy of Arthur Christmas .. shhhhh
I was gonna wait a couple weeks to watch it with my son but neither of us had seen it and he was really excited when he found the box. We watched it last night and I have to say that it was pretty fantastic, a great kids movie and fun for us grown ups too.
The idea, for those who haven't seen it, is that Santa isn't an immortal being (though he presumably lives very long) and the role is passed father to son going back generations. There is the Cold and Calculated heir apparent who is eager to take the red suit and the quirky goof, Arthur, who just loves Christmas and his family. Santa misses a single child on Christmas eve and Arthur takes it upon himself (with the help of his grandfather and a black sheep elf) to get the gift to the child.
Worth a buy or rent for those with kids -- or the kids at heart.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
I just watched all 3 of the Charlie Brown holiday specials!! My boys can't get enough!!
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!

Has anyone played around with printing on wood? I tried but it didn't turn out so well. I did, however, come across a company called Plak That which takes your photos and prints them directly onto the wood. Pretty cool looking stuff and their prices are reasonable. Thoughts?

CmdTab is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer coffeejay, which is an attempt at bringing a Mac OS X-like quick switcher to iOS. You can see screenshots of the tweak in action above. If you own a Mac, then you know tapping Command+Tab opens up a menu like the one below:
The current version of CmdTab has a total of seven different buttons. The first six of them yields an application in iOS, however the last option that looks like a Mac OS X Terminal icon opens up an iOS dialog box with the options to Respring, Power off, or Reboot the device:
The rest of the buttons do the following:
- System Preferences icon --> Opens the Settings application
- iTunes icon --> Opens the stock iOS Music application
- Twitter icon --> Opens the Twitter application
- Messages icon --> Opens the stock iOS Messages application
- Airport Utility icon --> Opens the Settings application and loads up Wi-Fi preferences pane
- Package icon --> Opens the Cydia application
Launching CmdTab can be done any way you want to it takes use of Activator to allow you to choose an action to invoke. There are no preferences to configure for CmdTab, simply launch, scroll around to find the application you want to open, and tap on it. If you launch CmdTab by mistake, you can press the home button to dismiss it. Coming in the future is the ability to tap somewhere on the screen not occupied by CmdTab to dismiss it.
More future updates include a theme picker for choosing between the Mac OS X style appearance and other appearances, the ability to set your own music application for launching with CmdTab such as Spotify, Pandora, or Grooveshark instead of the stock iOS Music application, and of course, more application or option shortcuts for CmdTab.
We took the tweak for a spin for ourselves and it is pretty useful for what we would expect from a free jailbreak tweak and it even looks good. Opening applications is quick and launching the shortcut menu doesn't cause any lag for iOS. This tweak should not be confused with the multitasking App Switcher, as it doesnt keep a history of your backgrounded applications, instead it is a list of pre-loaded application shortcuts.
CmdTab will launch anywhere in iOS assuming you have access to the Activator action wherever you are. It works within applications, on the home screen, and on the lock screen. If you have been looking for a quick way to get around useful applications in iOS, then give CmdTab a try!
Name: CmdTab
Price: FREE
Version: 1.0

Arsenal Football Club announced in July 2011 that it had chosen Save the Children as its first ever global charity partner.
Over the forthcoming season, Arsenal will support the charity on a range of education projects in the UK and overseas, helping the poorest children get a better start in life and giving them the chance to grow and fulfil their potential. Through this work, the Club will help Save the Children towards its vision of transforming the lives of over three million children a year through education by 2013.
The partnership was officially launched to supporters at the pre-season Emirates Cup, when Nor-Anne, one of many youngsters in the UK to benefit from Save the Children's Families and Schools Together (FAST) programme – a project which will be supported by Arsenal during the partnership - carried the match ball out onto the pitch ahead of the game between Arsenal and New York Red Bulls. The FAST programme helps increase parents' engagement in their children's education by encouraging them to perform everyday tasks and develop their skills together.
Arsenal will also support Save the Children's Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play! (ESLP) initiative, a programme that assists children living in the most desperate need by providing household essentials like a child's bed, a family cooker or educational books and toys.
The partnership will support Arsenal's drive to build its name around the world. Chief Executive, Ivan Gazidis said: "We are extremely proud and excited to partner with Save the Children. We have a tradition on and off the pitch of bringing the best out of young people and know the Arsenal badge can open the door to youngsters who may otherwise not be reached. By working with Save the Children we will provide more young people around the world with the skills and opportunities they need to be the best they can."
Justin Forsyth, Chief Executive of Save the Children added: "We are absolutely thrilled to be joining with Arsenal Football Club on this exciting new partnership. With our combined local and global reach we can make a huge difference to children's lives in the UK and overseas. Indeed, it seems that everywhere I travel children tell me they support Arsenal! This partnership is built on our common belief that every child is born to fulfill their potential. By working together on education we can help thousands of children do just that."
Throughout the partnership, familiar fundraising activities such as the Club's dedicated Matchday and 'Be a Gunner. Be a Runner' will return alongside additional activities supporting community work in the UK and overseas. The Club will also continue to back Save the Children's disaster relief work, having made donations to the Japan Appeal and more recently, the charity's East Africa Appeal to support thousands of children facing starvation.

I just bought these used from another member and decided I am going to stay stock for awhile. They are still packaged and in the box (they just arrived today). According to him they are in excellent condition, no leaks, clunks, etc.. here are a couple of HIS pix.
They will fit 02-07 wrx and 04 STi.
I can take them out of the box tonight, but they are all wrapped up in bubble wrap and I don't want to undo all of it and then re-tape and what not. I prefer local pick up, but will ship. (the box is pretty heavy).
Shipped: $618 (includes paypal fee)
Local: $580 cash (or $597 includes paypal fee)
im located in long beach, ca and would consider meeting up as long as its not too far.

The City of Lakeland will be purging approximately 7 miles of natural gas pipeline so that a qualified gas pipeline contractor can install a new valve. The venting process will take place on December 3, 2013 at 3200 Old Polk City Road. There could be a very loud high pitched noise that may last up to one hour as the system is purged.
When pipeline segments are taken out of service for maintenance purposes, it is standard practice to depressurize the pipeline and vent the system. An inert gas (nitrogen) is used to purge any residual natural gas contained within the pipeline to make it safe for the maintenance work to occur.
After the new valve is installed, natural gas will be allowed to flow back into the pipeline at the McIntosh Power Plant located at 3030 East Lake Parker Drive.
The recharging of the natural gas pipeline is scheduled to occur between December the 4-6 depending on how the work progresses. When the inert gas is purged there will be a loud high pitched noise once again at 3200 Old Polk City Road.
LAKELAND, FL (November 25, 2013) – The annual Lakeland Christmas Parade is scheduled for Thursday, December 5, 2013. The parade begins at The Lakeland Center at 7:00 p.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m. at The Lakeland Center. The downtown area streets along the parade route will close at 5:00 p.m. Lime Street between Sykes Boulevard and Lake Beulah will close at noon.
For all parade events citizens are encouraged to use the Orange Street parking garage. The Orange Street garage is not on the parade route and visitors can enter or leave during the parade. All other parking garages are on the parade route, and vehicles will not be permitted to leave the garage until the conclusion of the parade.
The theme for the 2013 Christmas parade is "I'm Dreaming of…" and there are over 120 participants in this year's parade including floats, marching bands and a jolly fellow in a sleigh.
A fireworks display that officially starts the parade will take place on Lake Mirror at 7:00 p.m. The fireworks will last approximately 15 minutes. The parade route begins at The Lakeland Center, travels along Lemon Street, turns left on Tennessee, proceeds right onto Main Street, goes around Lake Mirror and then heads back to The Lakeland Center via Orange Street (View Parade Map ).
The Lakeland City Commission asked me to schedule a private meeting with State Attorney Jerry Hill to discuss the status of Sergeant Brian McNabb and to explore ways to improve the relationship between the State Attorney's Office and the Lakeland Police Department. I believe the City of Lakeland and the State Attorney's Office share a common interest in protecting our citizens and trust we can find an acceptable path to achieve that end.
It was and continues to be my expectation based upon the direction that I received from the Lakeland City Commission, that I would be meeting with Mr. Hill in private in the spirit of trying to resolve outstanding issues. I was surprised when I found out late this afternoon that instead of a private meeting between the two of us, the media was also invited to attend without my knowledge.
I was under the impression that the meeting would between the two of us in an effort to explore options regarding Sergeant McNabb as well as other ways to improve relationships between the two agencies. Similar to challenging collective bargaining negotiations, acceptable solutions often are achieved in less formal settings between parties. My experience is that such an approach allows the principals the opportunity to frankly explore potential common ground as opposed to what is said in the formal trappings of a very public session.
Sergeant McNabb was issued a letter from the State Attorney stating that his office would no longer accept his testimony, which essentially is a career ending letter for a Police Officer. Based on the results of the LPD's Internal Investigation on Sgt. McNabb, the City desired the opportunity to discuss his status and the possibility of him testifying in the future.
It was not my intent nor do I believe the intent of the Lakeland City Commission to have me meet with State Attorney Jerry Hill in a public environment. Accordingly, I believe I that it would be prudent to seek further direction from the City Commission on how to proceed. We agreed that tomorrow's meeting would be postponed and I have reiterated to Mr. Hill the City's desire to have me meet with him at least initially in private to find solutions to our challenges. To that end, I am fully prepared to meet with Mr. Hill at our earliest convenience and have asked him to reconsider his position on the format of such a meeting.
Beginning December 2nd City of Lakeland crews will be constructing a new storm drain system in the Shore Acres neighborhood. The construction will primarily be contained to Interlachen Pkwy; however Main Street, Elm Road, and Fern Road will be affected with construction activities and temporary road closures. Minor delays can be expected. This work will last approximately 3 months weather permitting.

Green Bay Nordic Skiers Finish Strong at CCSA Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
HOUGHTON, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's Nordic skiing squads wrapped up a solid weekend at the Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) Championships on Sunday at the Michigan Tech Trails in Houghton, Mich. The Phoenix men finished in fifth place at the annual conference meet, while the women's squad placed seventh.
In a change of format from last year's conference championships, this year's crowns were decided by taking the team scores from three events: the classic sprint from the Hilltop Invitational on Jan. 15, Saturday's distance classic races and Sunday's relays at the Michigan Tech Nordic Training Center.
The Phoenix men's A-squad turned in Green Bay's top performance on Sunday, earning a ninth-place finish in the 3 x 5K freestyle relay race. The trio of Anders Nyquist (Kenai, Alaska), Matt Nistler (Bemidji, Minn.) and Matt Nichols (Wausau, Wis.) combined to finish in 40:21.4, with Nistler posting the team's fastest time of 12:42.6 in the race's second leg.
In the women's 3 x 5K relay, the Green Bay team of Hanne Guthrie (Chanhassen, Minn.), Joelle Wightman (West Allis, Wis.) and Krista White (Waukesha, Wis.) raced to a 10th-place finish in 49:38.6. Wightman posted the A-team's fastest time in the second leg, cruising the 5K course in 15:54.3.
On Saturday the Phoenix skiers faced challenging course conditions, which included heavy snow and high winds during the classical races.
Pacing the Green Bay men in the 20K event was sophomore Eddie Gurney (Brookfield, Wis.), who placed 13th with a time of 1:05:46.9. Nichols was close behind in 17th (1:06:02.8), while Nistler placed 22nd (1:07:43.1) in the field of nearly 50 competitors.
Guthrie led the Phoenix women on Saturday, finishing the 15K classic competition in 1:02:10.4, good for 28th place. Freshman Kaila Carpenter (Duluth, Minn.) was the next Green Bay skier to cross the line, placing 34th in 1:05:37.8.
In the first of the three CCSA Championship events - the classic sprints at the Hilltop Invite on Jan. 15 in Coleraine, Minn. - Guthrie once again led the Phoenix women by placing 21st (4:35.1) in the 1.4K race. Nistler and Nichols paced the Green Bay men last month, finishing 28th (3:51.8) and 29th (3:52.1), respectively.
Alaska Fairbanks accumulated the most points in the men's competition, winning the CCSA title with a score of 248. Northern Michigan prevailed on the women's side, totaling 250 points.

Everyone on the crash scene the night of May 14, 1988, believed anyone who was still alive was off the bus. And then Carey Aurentz emerged from the wreckage.
Carey Aurentz Cummins' thoughts often return to that May night, to a church bus returning home to Radcliff after a day at King's Island in Ohio. She remembers sitting in the front row aisle seat, door side, talking with Phillip Morgan, Billy Nichols and Emillie Thompson, who invited her on the trip.
Seconds later, her familiar life came to an end as a new one began.
Morgan and Nichols died in the bus crash that killed 27 people, including 24 children, when a drunken Larry Mahoney rammed a black pickup truck into the Radcliff First Assembly of God bus while going the wrong way on Interstate 71 four miles from Carrollton.
Thompson, who had been sitting near the back when the trip home began, moved near the front when the bus stopped for gas along its journey. She was among the 27.
Cummins was 65 percent covered in third-degree burns, especially on the back of her body, and second-degree burns to her face. She underwent more surgeries than she can recall — Cummins figures it was more than 30 — and spent two months in what was then Humana Hospital University of Louisville.
Her right leg was so badly burned it had to be amputated mid-calf 12 days after the crash. She now wears a prosthesis.
Of the 40 people who managed a way out of the bus that night, Cummins was the last.
Twenty-five years is a long time to think back on your life. Jason Booher and Cheryl Pearman were tending to Pearman's cousin, Christy, in the grassy median on that Saturday night on Interstate 71 when for some reason, Booher happened to look back over a shoulder at the charred bus.
Out of the back, a body slumped onto the road.
There was another possible survivor.
Then 14, Aurentz had the longest path to freedom. To this day, she still isn't sure how she escaped when almost everyone around her didn't.
She had been resting on the trip home, not quite asleep because she was able to hear her friends' conversation, she said. Then came the collision and the ensuing whoosh of fire. The chaos on I-71 had begun.
She tried to get into the aisle after being jarred from her seat.
"I knew it was fire because I could feel the fire," she said. "I had a voice in my head tell me not to turn around. Everybody was in the aisle; it was chaos."
She remembers passing out and dreaming about roller coasters.
"When I woke up, I remembered thinking, 'Oh my God, I am going to die,'" she said.
Now a married mother of a 4-year-old son, Cummins doesn't completely recall how she was able to go from the front of the bus to the back. She believes she pulled herself up from one seat and fell over it, and then started her journey again. Over and over again. It became an unimaginable trek inside the bus.
Finally, she had made it to the end of the bus and collapsed outside.
Booher said once the back of the bus was clear, everyone believed anyone still alive was off the bus.
"I told Cheryl to come on and help me move the person over to the grass median with the other injured survivors," Booher recalled. "We ran over there to Carey, who was lifeless on the pavement at the back of the bus. We couldn't tell who it was laying there because they were covered in black smoke and burnt severely. Cheryl and I started to pick her up by her feet and hands, but Cheryl said her legs were too hot and (it) burned to pick her up by her legs. So, I picked her up in my arms and carried her over to the rest of the victims in the grass median."
Cummins remembers being desperate to find a way out, despite her injuries.
"I'm not sure if I just got mad, but I wasn't going to die on that bus," she said. "I knew my legs weren't working right and there was no one around and I fell onto the pavement ... I remember looking up into the sky. I was saying, "Please help me, someone help me."
The first few years after the crash, Cummins desperately sought a sense of normalcy for life as a teenager, she said.
"I acclimated myself back in school to feel as much as I could as a normal teenager," she said. "I didn't, but I tried."
As part of a military family, she moved from the area in 1990 and graduated from high school in Virginia. She attended college and around her junior year, when panic attacks became severe, she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
She has worked in the medical field and now spends most of her time as a mother to Aiden. She is married to Jason Cummins and has lived in Yorktown, Va., since 2009.
She said Aiden can be a lot like her: spunky, stubborn and persistent. Those traits, she said, helped her 25 years ago.
"I don't think if I was not that way, I would have made it out of the bus," she said.
She said she has reservations about her son one day riding in a school bus.
"I see a school bus and I think of the incident," she said.
Cummins said it was a very difficult stretch of her life after the bus crash. "And if I think about it now, it's still very difficult."
The scars — physical and emotional — remain. Every day she sees what that night took from her.
But it also gave her something.
She tries to live life with no regrets. She went scuba diving and saw a shark.
"And I haven't been scuba diving since," she said.
"If there is something that I want to do, I ask myself "Will I regret it if I don't do it?"' she said.
"... I am unbelievably fortunate that I survived and was able to get out," she added. "...I treasure what I have. There were 27 that weren't able to finish their lives."

Philip Lieberman, Aristotle of the IT Age declares war on greedy outsourcers and prying-eyed IT Administrators
| 21 May 2012
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
-Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797).
Before we had met this 'Aristotle' of our time at the just concluded InfoSecurity Europe 2012, it was our reading of an article written by Mr Philip Lieberman, President of Lieberman Software Corporation which enabled us to place him above his contemporaries as the scholars' scholar, then writing for Vigilance as its Guest Columnist.
Before Lieberman, many other Chief Executive Officers in the global IT community had written for us, in as much as we valued their contributions to our magazine and still do, just one article stood him out of the other CEOs as the column is exclusively for the MDs/CEOs of the global IT companies, often on invitation or by recommendation for articles of any top notch in the IT world to appear on the column.
The first article of Lieberman on our magazine was later to open the floodgate for other articles to gush out of this enigmatic, charismatic and pragmatic IT philosopher, who by our reckoning is an IT evangelist crusading for best practice and a high level integrity for the IT practitioners.
Lieberman's articles are not only scholarly, but highly insightful; not only highly insightful, but highly profound; not only highly profound, but highly philosophical and offer perspectives into his heartbeat for best practice, order and commonsensical practice in the seeming chaotic terrain of the IT world.
Having listened to him speak, what we could glean from this crusader and evangelist was that Lieberman is to the IT world what St. Paul was to the gospel for he is out to bring order to the prevailing chaos within the global IT industry. "We follow industry's best practice…what controls do you have in place?" He asserted and raised a query at the same time.
In the current IT jungle, a sort of no man's land, where everybody now tends to do whatever they like Lieberman said when asked by Vigilance: "I'm not a pastor in the evangelical sense, but I believe in shining the light, so others can follow."
His lithe frame and cool mien remind one of diminutive Paul of Tarsus, although he is averagely tall and handsomer than the Tarsus evangelist. His natural tendency for deep thoughts into things recalls in a kaleidoscopic manner philosophers such as Thales, Anaximander, Anaxagoras, Heraclitus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, etc.
Of all these great philosophers of antiquity, we find more parallels in Lieberman and Aristotle, whose name means "the best purpose", than any other as a noticeable mantra that he kept emphasising was "best practice" and accountability which was the preoccupation of Aristotelian Virtue Ethics.
Lieberman wants to sanitise the IT world and bring it the much needed order and harmony. But how is he waging this war? Blasting RSA last year for what he then referred to as their "greed" and "neglect" he said the data taken during the security breach against RSA's networks might have led to an attempt on Lockheed Martin. This IT Oracle who then went to town with a 'horse whip' over the RSA saga chided: "By my estimates this breach is going to cost RSA a minimum of $400M to replace 40 million tokens. This is not just bad news for RSA Security – it paints the rest of the IT security industry in a bad light."
Putting the blame squarely on the senior management of EMC, the parent company of RSA, the lack of investment in SecurID was viewed by him as one of the root causes for the breach.
Said Lieberman: "A quick review of the SecurID products show that the SecurID product line has languished in innovation and development investment since the takeover. EMC is guilty of milking the RSA cow dry, neglecting it, getting it sick, and then selling the tainted beef. The tragedy is that had they provided just a little bit of food and care to the cow, they could still be receiving milk and have a healthy cow today."
Not a man to beat about the bush on issues, whatever the issues may be, Lieberman opened his cannonade and fusillade on the RSA once more saying the SecurID incident, "is a testament to the consequences of greed and outsourcing exhibited by EMC senior management, who, in their single minded wish to maximize profitability, neglected to provide sufficient resources and domestic talent to keep their company healthy and competitive."
At the just concluded InfoSecurity Europe 2012, held between the 24th and 26th of April, 2012 Aristo (short form for Aristotle) went with his quiver loaded with arrows, his targets this time round were IT Administrators whom he thinks play their bosses monkey tricks because as he argued in his presentation at the earthshaking event held at Earl's Court in London entitled: The Five Security Secrets Your IT Administrators Don't want You to Know, IT Administrators often take more shortcuts than upper management might expect, especially regarding security.
Holding his audience spell bound as he sought to expose the ITAs, Lieberman said: "As valued members of any organization, IT administrators work every day to keep the infrastructure up and available," Lieberman said. "But with demands to reduce operational costs, IT administrators often take more shortcuts than upper management might expect - especially regarding security."
His presentation revealed hitherto little known facts about the state of today's IT which included:
- Many IT professionals can still access critical systems on the network, even long after leaving the organization;
- Rank and file IT staff often have the same access to sensitive financial data as the CFO;
- Most organizations likely don't know precisely who on the staff have the right credentials to read, copy and alter data;
- IT auditors don't necessarily know everywhere to look to discover security holes.
"Fundamentally, the security of an organization hinges on how well IT balances convenience with controls and accountability," Lieberman said. "All too often IT is granted free reign to operate under its own rules when it comes to security."
During the interactive half hour session, the Oracle of the IT Age provided recommendations on how organizations could improve IT accountability through segregation of duties and auditing controls. The presentation also described potential solutions, such as privileged identity management software, which could automatically track privileged logins, delegate access and change credentials for each account after use.
Also, at the just concluded trade show, Lieberman showed his UK audience for the first time his companies Enterprise Random Manager which helps to protect against unauthorised access of built-in passwords. Although this security vulnerability is very well known by hackers and inside fraudsters to sneak into the network, he said Lieberman's software would detect and secure default passwords, preventing unauthorised persons and malware gaining control of sensitive data.
Philip Lieberman, Aristotle of our time appears to have assigned himself the onerous task of leading the IT 'Evangelicals' to wage war against greed and all dubious tendencies in the IT world, but will he succeed? Time, time, only time will tell. In the main time, the Oracle has spoken, hear ye him!

In recent years, many of Utah's government-subsidized apartment complexes have adopted indoor smoking prohibitions. However, in Layton, one housing manager intends to install the nicotine ban across the entire property.
"We made a policy of 25 feet off our grounds, and our property ends one inch inside the sidewalk," Randy Banks, manager of the 111-unit Skyline View Apartments, told The Tribune.
In an April 29 notice, Banks informed his low-income renters that they can either quit smoking by Nov. 1 or find somewhere else to live.
"What smoke free means is that you can't smoke within 25 feet of the apartment property, which means sidewalks are not 25 feet away and the middle of the road won't work either!" the notice warned.
If both parties agree, the landlord-tenant contract that Banks proposes would be binding, said Layton City Attorney Gary Crane. However, the city would not cite someone for smoking on the sidewalk or street in front of the complex, Crane said.
Banks, who has managed the complex for 37 years, still mourns the recent death of one resident from lung cancer. And he vividly remembers the cigarette-caused fire that wiped out eight units several years ago.
With the backing of the Davis County Health Department and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Banks is moving forward to clear the air at Skyline View.
However, some view the all-out ban as a heavy-handed ultimatum.
"It's a bunch of BS," said 32-year-old Randy Batchelor, who has lived at Skyline View for eight years. Batchelor took up smoking at age 14 and acknowledged that he'd like to quit but lacks the willpower.
"You can't force someone to do something that they're not ready to do," Batchelor said, noting that he plans to start looking for other housing for himself, his fiancee and their two teenage children.
As early as 2009, HUD "strongly encouraged" public housing authorities to implement smoke-free policies. In Utah, several have done so.
"We've been transitioning to this for several years," Doug Carlson, executive director of the Provo City Housing Authority, said of the clean-air policies now in place within his city's 350 units.
To accommodate the smoking minority, Carlson said he installed sheds or gazebos on some properties where people could smoke and be protected from the weather.
"We've evolved from no policy to a semi-liberal policy to a very strict policy," Carlson said of the changes that started in 2001. Carlson said he never asks applicants if they smoke and he's never evicted anyone for smoking inside.
"We establish the policy, and if they choose to live here, they must comply," Carlson said. "Some of our properties have designated gazebos for smoking, some do not" based on spatial limitations and affordability.
According to Kerry Bate, director of Salt Lake County's Housing Authority, several properties have gone smoke-free, including the new 134-unit Bud Bailey Apartments for low-income refugees, homeless families and youth and people with disabilities.
"We have an area outside that is comfortable for smoking and is far away from the building," Bate said, adding that they met with tenants to make sure "they were in the driver's seat on these discussions."
Some winter-time infractions are expected, Bate said, and will not be grounds for terminating a lease. By significantly reducing indoor smoking, Bate said he anticipates saving about $1,500 in cleanup costs when a unit is readied for the next tenant.
The Utah Indoor Clean Air Act currently bans smoking within 25 feet of any entrance-way, exit, open window or air intake of buildings where smoking is prohibited. It also establishes the rights of owners, agents or proprietors to bar smoking anywhere on their premises.
Davis County's Health Department and board of directors wholeheartedly support such efforts to curb the impacts of secondhand smoke, said Community Health Educator Gloria Sawyer, adding that help is available for those smokers who are trying to quit."We've got about 64 percent of our communities that are smoke-free to one degree or another," Sawyer said. "But even within that percent, there are a variety of different interpretations."
Davis County also has enacted a law prohibiting smoking within 50 feet of outdoor amenities for apartment complexes such as tennis courts, swimming pools and playgrounds. Layton has its own ordinance against lighting up in parks and other public places, Crane said.
The notice that Banks sent to tenants gave them six months to "either change your habits or find another place to reside" and warned that apartment inspections will begin Nov. 1. In September, tenants will be asked to accept or reject the contractual change.
We hope everyone will come on board with this program and enjoy a fresher lifestyle," Banks said in the notice. "We will support those that have to quit in any way we can."
Skyline View tenant Pat Pearson, a smoker for about 40 years, recently wrote to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan to voice her concerns.
"However well-intentioned, it will not make resident smokers quit," Pearson said. "They will more than likely have to find another complex, which directly places additional hardship on low-income people, who, if they had resources of their own, wouldn't require subsidized housing in the first place."
Andrew McCullough, an attorney from Utah County and former Libertarian candidate for state attorney general, balked at the ban.
" When the government tells us how big a soft drink we can have, and we can't smoke out in our yard, it seems to me it's gone too far in terms of Big Brother ," McCullough said. " We really need to take a deep breath and say that we can't be our brother's keeper we can't make all the moral decisions for them."

Passat: 9,500 +199.1% (I know, slightly unfair )
Camry: 34,252 +37.8%
Prius: 18,932 +103%
And while everyone else has big gains, the Altima stagnated with 24,448 (+0.4%). And the Jetta outsold the Mazda 3. This is nationwide - you bet this looks yet more skewed on the West Coast. So, yes, relatively speaking, there are lot fewer new Mazda and Nissan family sedans on the road now, and this is even more the case on the West Coast.

An Adoption Conversation

This was a REAL conversation you had???? I am in shock right now that someone would have the audacity (sorry if I spelled that wrong) to say those things!!!ReplyDelete
You handled yourself with grace though... good for you!!
It was a real conversation. Amazing, right? I don't think it is so much grace as it is shock.ReplyDelete
Oh boy. Sounds like you showed excellent restraint.ReplyDelete
You are so nice, kind and merciful. You are lovely. seriously. I strive to carry off the beautiful bits of self. I want to be more like you. yet i know myself well. my faults and I are well acquainted.ReplyDelete
I feel compelled to tell you, because we've actually met, and there is real possibility of that happening again, you should know this in advance: If I am within spitting distance and overhearing this conversation, my reaction would likely be somewhere between Fingerwaggingbacktalkingallupinherbusinessbackoffmissywatchutalkingaboutwoman and a pre-epmpting call to 911 that someone's about to get their butt whooped.
WOW! I would have gone off on her!ReplyDelete
Great job keeping your cool! I don't know if I could have done it.ReplyDelete
It is not so much that I show restraint, rather I just can't believe it when it is happening. I think, 'Whoa, she doesn't mean this, or she does but doesn't mean to be saying it to me.' By the time it's over and realize how insulting the conversation really is, it is much to late to say what I should have. Luckily, it is never to late to write a blog post and get the last word in.ReplyDelete
Alison, I am in shock after reading this! I have had situations where I was in shock and unable to truly answer the way I wanted to at the time, too!! Good thing you did get to blog about her. URG. People are just plain stupid. :(ReplyDelete
Woah! I have to echo others and give major kudos to you for keeping calm during that conversation. I'm a little fired up after just reading that conversation! Can't imagine.ReplyDelete
Oh lordy. I first read your post assuming it was an online conversation you had and thought you are way better than me, I'd have wanted to reach through the screen and pull a Three Stooges move on her. Then I realized this was a face to face talk, how you remained calm and collective is amazing to me.ReplyDelete
for real? !!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, just found your blog today and I am reading one incredible story after another.... WHAT kind of acquaintances do you have, anyway??? lol. Sure makes for interesting blog fodder, but man! The gall people have.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep! For real! Luckily most people are great. Thanks for reading :)Delete
Oh my gosh. That is horrible...and yet am I the only one wondering how that lady is going to feel seeing your 'conversation' on the blog? I cannot imagine what your next encounter with her will be like! LOLReplyDelete
Hopefully she will apologize.
Hi Karin,ReplyDelete
Funny thing....I have yet to have another conversation with this person again! Thanks for commenting and for reading :)

By Giuseppe Muro
Tony Roberts believes Dagenham & Redbridge is the ideal place for James Shea to continue his promising development this season.
The young goalkeeper has moved to Victoria Road for the duration of the 2011/12 campaign where, ironically, he will challenge for the vacant No 1 spot left by the recently retired Roberts.
The 41-year-old, who is Dagenham's all-time record appearance holder and has nurtured Shea's talent during his time coaching the Academy, knows both parties well. He feels the move will be hugely beneficial for the Arsenal youngster.
"I know the manager at Dagenham very well and I know how they play," Roberts told Arsenal.com.
"It will be a completely different game for him. There will be balls thrown into the box and there will be decisions he will have to make.
"That is what stands out with good goalkeepers - the amount of good decisions they make. We've got every confidence in him.
"I've been with him for four years now and I think, personally, he is going to be a very good goalkeeper. For his career now, he is ready [for a loan] and he knows the game."
The 20-year-old was given a taste of life on loan during a short spell with Southampton last season and Roberts is confident Shea will have no problems getting to grips with the demands of League football.
"I've showed him things that I have done for Dagenham and my experiences but he needs to go and get his experience now.
"I took Wojciech and James to watch me play a game a couple of years ago to explain to them that everything is not like it is at Arsenal.
"There are small grounds, the pitches are different, the style of football is different and I try and teach them to learn everything.
"He will be fine, we saw with Wojciech when he went out. I think James can do just as well."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

The evolution of the Wave Rider
19 Years of Wave Rider
Mizuno, true to its 'never stop pushing' manifesto has worked tirelessly for the past 19 years to develop the Wave Rider into the shoe that it is today. The Wave Rider 19 is the culmination of improvements, some big and some small, in material, design and technology. From its humble origins in 1997 and the very first introduction of Wave technology to today's Wave Rider, Mizuno's restless pursuit of perfection is obvious. There remains some semblance from the original design but ultimately the Wave Rider has improved year on year and continues to impress even the purest of runners.
The evolution of the Wave Rider
Changes to the Wave Rider
You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great. When originally conceived the Wave Rider was but a shadow of today's contemporary industry leading shoe. Weighing in at 363g it paved the way for its descendants to adhere to the Wave Rider's principle development strategy of "just what you need and nothing more". The very first Wave Rider struggled to gain a following but it was exactly this that lead Mizuno to make the changes that have sculpted the latest incredibly successful model. Mizuno's most recent Wave Rider weighs just 260g and is a far cry from the original, it has been developed and improved year on year and continues to receive great reviews.
The technology in the Wave Rider
Within the Wave Rider series there have been a number of models that have revolutionised not just this particular shoe but also running shoes across the industry. Mizuno's Intercool system, first introduced on the Wave Rider 4 originated a design used across all generations to come. The ventilation system channeled humidity down through the shoe and out the bottom to regulate temperature and reduce exposure to potential blisters caused by trapped moisture. A prime example of Mizuno's quest for cutting edge, innovative design. The Wide Rider 6 similarly evolved the series when the plastic Wave design was replaced by a softer composite resulting in a smoother heel strike. Not satisfied with just improving the design of the shoe, Mizuno's Wave Rider 12 was made from Castor Oil which significantly reduced Mizuno's carbon footprint helping benefit the planet.
Adapting the Wave Rider to customer feedback
Part of the research and developmental process for the Wave Rider was listening to the feedback from the athletes and customers who competed in the shoe. The most significant example of this was when developing the Wave Rider 10; Mizuno conducted a consumer study known as Kansei Engineering, which is a Japanese product philosophy that simulates the buying experience for runners. The ultimate result of this was finding out exactly what athletes were looking for when purchasing their next running shoe. The Wave Rider 10 was designed to have a faster, sleeker look and was greeted with great success. Mizuno also quickly redesigned the Wave Rider 15 after realising that the tighter fit of the predecessor wasn't what customers were looking for in a neutral running shoe. The ability to embrace innovation and also adapt to feedback is what has made Mizuno's Wave Rider the success that it is today.
Limited editions of the Wave Rider
Over time, the Wave Rider has seen some exciting developments in both technological design and also aesthetics. Mizuno has created various limited editions to this model. One to celebrate the Amsterdam marathon for example, which incorporates ornamental Dutch details into the sleek upper design. Another of these limited edition shoes was for the Osaka marathon which took the creative design one step further by incorporating 7 different colours into the sole to represent the 7 different charities that the Osaka marathon happily supports. Mizuno's way to promote the cohesive union of charities in their Japanese hometown marathon. Mizuno love connecting with athletes and producing limited edition shoes is just one way to say a big thank you to all those who run with us.
Wave Rider 19
Building on the legacy of the Wave Rider line this is our best model yet. With more resilience and cushioning that delivers a superb ride sensation and a more harmonious fit that works with the runner at every stride.

Landowner Liability & Hunting
Legal liability has been identified as a major concern among landowners when considering whether or not to grant access to hunters to hunt their property. Legal liability has also been offered as a reason some landowners have stopped allowing hunter access to their property. This is an important issue of concern with the increasing need of sound deer management and hunting access.
To encourage landowners to make their lands available to the public for recreational purposes, including hunting and fishing, Georgia law (OCGA 51-3-20 through 51-3-26) explicitly shields landowners from civil liability for injuries to persons who use their land for recreational purposes without charge unless the landowner willfully or maliciously fails to guard against or warn of a dangerous condition, use, structure, or activity. Landowners will not be liable unless they violate this standard of care. Georgia Courts have interpreted this standard of care as the duty of slight care, which is lower than that of ordinary care.
Georgia law (OCGA 27-3-1) further extends this same protection to landowners, lessees of land, or lessees of hunting or fishing rights who give permission to another to hunt or fish on their property with or without charge.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thank you for the advice!
|School soccer games are great for this!
I doubt she's trying to herd if she's jumping on them. If it was herding behavior, she'd probably be nipping them and/or blocking them with her body.
You're going to have to teach her how to play with them. This means that you're going to have to be committed to only leaving her out in the yard with them when a parent is there to train the dog, at least for the time being. It isn't something that's going to fix itself without adult help.
How I'd probably start is teaching her to ignore them when they're running around. Sit outside with her on a leash while they play, and reward her for paying attention to you and ignoring them. It's best if you do this after a long walk or play session, where she's nice and tired--if she's under-exercised and bursting with energy, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle.
Basically, that stage just teaches her that kids running around isn't anything to get too excited about. Sure it's fun, but it happens a lot and she gets all kinds of one-on-one attention and yummy treats from Mom or Dad if she ignores them.
Once she's staying calm on the leash while the kids are playing nearby, you can try letting her off leash. Watch her like a hawk, though. If she starts getting over-excited and especially if she jumps on the child, immediately remove her from the situation and give her a time-out in a quiet area where no one is paying attention to her. A laundry room or bathroom is good for this. Don't talk to her or scold her, just silently take her there and put her up. Leave her there for 5 minutes or so, then let her out again. Repeat until your kids are tired of playing or she gets the idea.
Herding breeds are very intelligent and she will probably get the idea pretty quickly if you're consistent about it. The only other thing is to make sure she's getting plenty of exercise away from the kids. If she's not, she may be getting so excited she can't really control herself. Those are two very high energy breeds.
|10 months. She is a rescue dog so getting a late start. In full disclosure she is a Border Collie/Kelpie mix. I know this is a GSD forum. It relates b/c I get my GSD pup in April and I need to correct this problem before then! She is doing it out of play I think. Maybe trying to herd but it seems like she is just excited.

|How old is your puppy?
Quit jumping on the kids!
My current puppy loves everyone, but when my kids are running around in the yard she comes up behind them and jumps up on their backs. It is not anything aggressive but it hurts them because it knocks them down. Any suggestions on how to break this since it is happening when we are not there? Kids are 5 and six. Thanks

Not as old as Whiterhino
Vermont Supreme Court CO2 ruling
Court Roils Auto-Rules Debate
The Wall Street Journal
By Mike Spector and Jeffrey Ball
Sept. 13, 2007
A federal judge's ruling that Vermont can limit greenhouse-gas emissions from cars and trucks will have national implications in the intensifying debate over fuel economy and global warming.
Federal District Judge William K. Sessions III rejected automakers' arguments that Vermont's auto-emissions law amounts to a backdoor state attempt to regulate automotive fuel economy a power that under federal law is reserved for Washington. The judge's reasoning: The Vermont law's impact goes beyond fuel economy to cover other areas, making it more than a fuel-economy mandate.
The ruling could have repercussions nationally, but is likely to draw an industry appeal.
California , a national environmental bellwether, is in similar litigation over its attempt to require cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles sold there. The ruling in the federal district of Vermont would appear to give California momentum. Judge Sessions wrote he "remains unconvinced automakers cannot meet the challenges of Vermont's and California's" greenhouse-gas rules. Still, a federal judge in California could decide that case differently.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the Vermont ruling "marks another important victory in the fight against global warming. California and other states that want to take aggressive action will no longer be blocked by those who stand in our way."
More broadly, the ruling is likely to increase pressure on Congress to toughen federal fuel-efficiency rules, known as the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards and to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from sectors beyond autos. The auto industry argues against sharp changes in those rules, saying they would hurt the industry. But a potential patchwork of differing state rules bearing on fuel economy could prove even costlier for the industry, and could push it to soften its stance in Washington.
California has special dispensation under federal law to enact emissions rules that are tougher than the federal government's, a nod to California's record of dirty air. Other states can replicate California's standards. But California first must get a federal waiver, and its latest request is pending. Because Vermont's effort is an extension of California's, the Vermont court decision could be rendered moot if California doesn't get its waiver. Meanwhile, other states are hoping to follow California's lead all told, about a third of the nation's auto market.
Automakers argue that overly aggressive mileage rules would force them to build smaller vehicles that consumers won't buy. The industry is considering appealing the Vermont decision, said Dave McCurdy, head of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the industry's main Washington lobbying group. "Federal law is designed to ensure a consistent fuel-economy program across the country."
Kevin Holewinski, a lawyer at Jones Day in Washington who defends companies in global-warming suits but isn't involved in the auto-related litigation, took issue with the ruling and predicted the industry will appeal it. "The state's overstepping its authority," he said, agreeing with the automakers' argument that the Vermont law amounts to a state fuel-economy mandate even if it also has other environmental effects. "Suggesting that there are these collateral consequences, I think, quite frankly, is wholly beside the point," he said.
A spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality said the Bush administration's "relevant agencies are reviewing this decision." She cited recent moves by the administration to curb automotive gasoline use.
Matt Pawa, a lawyer for environmental groups that joined Vermont in defending against the industry's lawsuit, said the ruling represented a "great victory for global warming, Vermont, the planet, California and the auto industry."
Governors of 13 states that plan to implement the California greenhouse-gas rules issued a letter yesterday to the chief executives of the top six automakers by sales in the U.S., calling on them to stop suing to block regulations.
The Vermont regulations would increase mileage steeper and faster than measures that are being considered in Congress. Regulating tailpipe emissions effectively forces automakers to improve mileage, since greenhouse gases are produced when vehicles burn fossil fuels such as gasoline.
Congress, meanwhile, is considering legislation that would force automakers to achieve an average of 35 miles a gallon for their fleets of cars and trucks over the next decade or so, as much as a 40 percent increase over current standards but less aggressive than the rules states are pursuing. The Bush administration is fast-tracking similar new rules for year end.
At the heart of the Vermont and California disputes is whether a state law limiting greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles is tantamount to a fuel-economy standard.
Judge Sessions ruled that though carbon dioxide, which is produced by burning fuel, "represents the bulk" of greenhouse-gas emissions from autos, Vermont's rules "embrace much more than a simple requirement to improve fuel economy, cloaked in the rhetoric of reducing carbon dioxide emissions." He explained that automotive air conditioners also produce greenhouse gases that would be regulated by the Vermont law. He also rejected automakers' arguments that the Vermont law would cost too much. "History suggests that the ingenuity of the industry, once put in gear, responds admirably to most technological challenges," he wrote.

Thank a tree hugger... If they force car makers to produce smaller vehicles, people will just revert to buying more used older cars vs. new. That defeats the purpose by having older cars on the road longer, spewing even more crap into the air.

What's even more assinine is people who think the auto companies have this magic 100 mpg fuel system out there that they just don't want consumers to have.
Shit, If any manufacturer had a fuel system that got that fuel economy don't you think they would have buyers from everywhere clammoring for it? They could sell 10000000000000000X of them, and make buko $$$$$$$$$.

I don't thin that they would have buyers clamoring for them. case in point, VW TDi, they get 50 mpg, but they are rarer than hell.
But if they were required to meet standard on fuel efficiency, then, I guess the public will get what they get.

No, you aren't goin got get 40mpg and tow your jeep, but you can have light trucks and SUVs in the mid 20s that could tow a reasonble load.
I see the legistation as inevitable, and not necessarily a bad thing.
1)curb the unnecessary creeping weight gain and capacity gain of each successive launch.
2)Increase the number of diesels
Thats really all thats needed. The rest of the world does it.
2 liter diesels can make 150+ hp and 230+ ft-lbs of torque
3 liter diesels can make 250+ hp and 450+ ft-lbs of torque

Public hearing on Woodmont development delayed again
The public hearing, which had been continued from Oct. 10 to this week, will now take place next month, town officials said on Wednesday.
A reason for the most recent delay wasn't immediately given, but it's the latest in what's been a long series of setbacks over the past year.
The Woodmont Commons Planned Unit Development (PUD) master plan was originally dated and submitted in October 2011, but after a preliminary evaluation by town staff, developers requested a continuance. Last month, staff members at Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates, the third-party review consultants hired by the town to offer an outside opinion on the plans for Woodmont Commons, submitted their updated evaluation to the town, which the planning board accepted as complete on Oct. 11.
In a public discussion hosted by the town council earlier this month, residents had many unanswered questions about the project's infrastructure specifics, including the possible need for expanded public safety and the future maintenance of the site's roadways.
The $1 billion development, to be located on 625 acres of former apple orchard land near Route 102 and I-93, calls for several phases of construction, with plans to build 1,300 homes, offices, retail areas, hotels and more. The public hearing will now take place on Wednesday, Dec. 12. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Moose Hill Council Chambers at Londonderry Town Hall.

Bat Conservation in Georgia
WNS Winter Monitoring and Surveillance
We are urging cavers and others in the outdoors to be on the lookout for bats infected with white-nose syndrome (WNS) this winter. Follow the instructions below to help the Georgia DNR with WNS monitoring and surveillance.
What to Report:
It is not unusual to see bats flying during the winter months. They may emerge during warmer periods at night to eat, drink or just stretch their wings. However, bats infected with WNS have been seen flying outside during the day during very cold periods in the winter. You may also find dead bats on the landscape that are infected with WNS. Signs of WNS include white, fuzzy growth on the muzzle and wings and possible deterioration of the wing membranes. See the pictures below for examples.
If you see unusual bats on the landscape or have a WNS-suspect bat to send in for testing, please report it by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
If you collect WNS suspect bats, always use gloves and place bats in double ziploc bags. Put the bat in the refrigerator as soon as possible and follow the instructions on the form below for submission to the lab for testing.

Arsenal is delighted to welcome Katie Chapman back to the Club.
Katie, 28, rejoins Arsenal Ladies after a short stint with the Chicago Red Stars, for whom she has played since February of this year.
In her last spell at the Club, the tough-tackling midfielder was a pivotal part of the team, making 103 appearances and scoring 43 goals in four years.
She has been instrumental to the Gunners' incredible success in recent times, netting in the 2009 FA Cup Final and helping drive the team on to UEFA Women's Cup glory in 2007. In total, she helped the side to eight major pieces of silverware.
Katie brings tremendous experience to the side. She can now add 21 appearances in the States to a career that started at just 14 with Millwall Lionesses, subsequently taking in spells at Fulham and Charlton Athletic as well as Arsenal. She has also been a mainstay of the England side for more than a decade and has 82 caps to her name.
Arsenal Ladies General Manager Vic Akers said: "This is obviously a big signing for us and we are delighted to have Katie back.
"I was really pleased to sign her first time around, and she was immense for us. Katie settled straight in and gave us an incredible energy level. She plays every game like it's her last and her work rate is quite exceptional. She's technically a very good player too and can get forward and score goals. She's just a terrific player and we couldn't be happier to have her back."
Katie Chapman said: "I'm so excited to be coming back to Arsenal. I've got loads of great memories from my time here and I look forward to creating some more now I've returned. Arsenal Ladies is one of the best teams in the game, and it's a privilege to have the chance to play for them once again."
Katie will be back in action for the Gunners next month. Everyone at the Club looks forward to more outstanding service from her in the seasons ahead.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I got the extractor that comes with that kit from mannlake.
QuoteI got the extractor that comes with that kit from mannlake.I also got this kit and for the money it was well worth it. Unfortunately my bee yard is going to be expanded considerably this year and I suspect that this 3 frame extractor is going to be too small very soon. With that in mind, for you guys and gals with 20-40 hives, what size extractor are you using? I believe with my lofty goal of 800+ hives I will outgrow a few extractors in time, so eventually I want to get a 40 frame or larger. For now I don't think that is necessary though.
Don't skimp on equiptment,buy cheap and you will relent it a long time.Having the right equiptment will save you time and time equals money.An extractor that will hold 1 super takes about 15-20 minutes to dry the frame,so how many supers will you expect to harvest?Personally I would rather spend my time working in the bee yards than extracting.bob evans
I have been reading all the many posts pertaining to extractors...I don't want to spend tons of $$...but I would like more bang for my buck...Any suggestions on an extractor that can do the job with having to wait days for frames to clear...etc...can't crush and strain as I am pretty certain I will be using PF 120's...

It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
Goal No 28 in our list was a chink of light on a dark night for Arsenal.
The Gunners went into this League Cup semi-final second leg with a proud record against their north London rivals. Tottenham had not beaten Arsène Wenger's team in 21 attempts but, for once, they were celebrating at the final whistle.
Spurs were four up on the night - and 5-1 up on aggregate - when Adebayor scored the goal which earns him a second appearance in our countdown. It was a fine move which started with Justin Hoyte on the left and involved a slick exchange between Eduardo and Cesc Fabregas.
The Croatian striker eventually found Adebayor lurking on the edge of the Spurs box and he let the ball roll between his legs to wrongfoot Ledley King before setting himself for a venomous strike which whistled into the top corner. It silenced the home fans - at least temporarily.
With 20 minutes left Adebayor's goal was too little, too late on the night but it showed the Togolese striker at his best. He went on to net 30 times that season.

REVIEW: the Lego Movie
By Derek Sante - Review Nation
follow Derek
Open the box and let your imagination run free, the Legos are here! A full world is created before your eyes as the toy we grew up with brings a positive and hilarious tale to the 3D big screen.
We follow Emmet (Chris Pratt), an everyday Lego construction guy that wants to be happy by following the manual. An easy proposition until he crosses paths with a rough and tumble builder by the name of WyldStyle (Elizabeth Banks). She is in search of the one, the special one, that can save the world of Lego by giving back its imagination. Unfortunately, the key to overcoming evil's army, led by Lord Business (Will Ferrell), is stuck on the back of the very unimaginative Emmet.
With no other option, she rescues him and drags him to his destiny.
This movie is 100% positive and filled with messages and humor for the whole family. The best children's movie of 2014 (so far) has arrived! Assembly and imagination is definitely required for this ages 4 - 100 adventure!

Lerner: Abusive use of stats
November 5, 2012
Re: "The real unemployment rate," by Tom Clancy, letters, Nov. 5
Dear tom clancy, wow, that was the most abusive use of statistics i've ever read. 7.9 percent minus 4 percent unemployment? You have assumed that the number of 7.9% includes that 4%. However, your facts are wrong. that 7.9 percent number does not include that 4 percent who have stopped looking for work or are underemployed. So you must actually add the 4 percent back into the 7.9 percent for an actual total of 11.9 percent. The man in the white house has succeeded in his plan to have more people on the dole or completely dependent upon government thereby increasing the size of government. Government dependence is slavery. Period. Nice try.


text: I still don't like the treatment he gets from the referees, or how he's become accustomed to it - but that's not really HIS fault (it's that SOB David Stern's). I still don't like him as a person, and I'm probably never going to - but he has become much more mature. In dealing with the media too... he's definitely more of a team / winning-oriented person now. (e.g. Michael Jordan tries to get into the news this week by starting some sh*t with him..."I'd take Kobe over him"...and instead of responding how I would've..."Who in the hell cares what the worst GM in NBA history thinks"...he had a very professional response). Maybe it's just because we're not contenders right now, but damnit, I love watching him play. I love his game. He plays so damn smart now. And he's become such a great outside shooter. Play him up and he'll drive right past you. Play him off and he'll sink a J. Double him and he'll find the wide-open teammate. He's such a complete player!? He's in his prime right now, and the question is - is it better than MJ's prime? I was born in 1987, so most of what I remember of MJ were his last three championship runs. Based on that, the compare/contrast is as follows.. 1) LeBron is a better teammate. I've hated him in the past. But I've never heard one teammate say a bad word about him. From what I can remember of MJ, there was pretty much constantly a teammate b*tching about him throughout his entire career. 2) LeBron is a better passer. No question about it. 3) LeBron is, at least, as good of an outside shooter. He might be better.. 4) LeBron is, at least, as good on the drive. Not as quick as MJ, but so much bigger and stronger that it doesn't matter. Again, might be better. 5) LeBron has a MUCH better inside game. The man is Karl Malone-sized. 6) LeBron is a MUCH better rebounder, shot-blocker, interior defender, etc. Again, Malone-sized. 7) LeBron is almost, perhaps as, good of a perimeter defender. He doesn't get steals like MJ, and he's not quite as quick. But his size and strength more than makes up for the difference. It's rare to see anyone get by him. 8) MJ still has intangibles on him, but that's about it, and for how long? we shall see. MJ was clutch. Six for six in NBA finals. He wanted the ball in, and at the end of, big games. He was going to be the guy that won or lost it. And he usually won it. It's hard to quantify the importance of that. But I'd say that whatever team LeBron is on in the next five seasons - that's going to be the championship front-runner. So, we'll see what he does with it. If he wins a few more, I think I'd be comfortable giving him the edge over MJ..

There are times when religion makes individuals decide to become atheists. Violent attacks by infuriated Muslims against Christians in Malaysia continued on Sunday with fire bombs thrown at churches and Christian schools. The madness of religion emerged when a court ruled the law which forbids Christians from using the word, "Allah" since the word was resolved only for Muslims made absolutely no sense. This resulted in burning of churches and attacks on Christians by those who regard themselves as peaceful Muslims who are merely carrying out the words of Allah.
A Catholic priest put it succinctly when he said; "we don't blame any people, any quarter, any religion. We are peaceful." Prime Minister Najib Razak called for calm even as he supported this idiotic law which makes absolutely no sense. I assume if someone who is not Muslim wants to convert they are allowed to inquire into the teaching of Allah? Or, do they say, "I would like to know all about that guy, the one whose name I can not say."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mtns2Lakes Great Pattern and comfortable Under Foot Do to a flood, we had to replace about 500sqft of mixed flooring on short notice across three rooms (utility room, Family Room, & Kitchen). The flooring contractor recommending Armstrong products and, after looking though over a hundred samples, we picked Logan Falls - Still Water. It was a good mix of neutral colors, pleasing pattern, and great feel under foot. May 18, 2015

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by detteam, Jun 25, 2009.
Cavs land Shaq for Wallace, Pavlovic - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
Guess Joe will need to find some beef in that draft or FA to throw at Shaq since we will see him again at least 4 times... We know Amir could not handle Shaq so Joe anticipated that match up and disposed of Amir and his 5 fouls... Poor Ben is now being tossed around like a rag doll since he bolted from here....
They can't be any worse, but i don't see them getting any better.
I wonder how having a large immobile big like Shaq is going to affect the Cavs' (read: Lebron's) offensive flow.
Just like last year with Z. Except this year Z will get 24 and so will Shaq so it's slow-footed center all the time.
But Z has way more range than Shaq ever did. It seems to me like Shaq is going to clog the lane for Lebron. But maybe I don't understand basketball X's and O's. I am just a casual internet fan.
Snaq a Cav? Holy Moly. Go Snaq! Go Snaq! Go Snaq!
I wonder, between Shaq and Z, who would win a 50 yard footrace. I bet Shaq would dust him. P.S. Welcome to the club.
Crazy move by the Cavs. I don't see why they don't just return with the same team year after year and add someone like Ron Dupree to spice things up?
Yeah, I'm confused - I thought they were trying to copy us.
I was thinking that Jarvis Hayes would have been the difference maker against the Magic.
Saw something on the ESPN ticker that said Ben might retire. I hope he does and gets hired as a Pistons assistant. Defense wins championships, after all.
Why leave all of that $$$ on the table? Not like he's going out on the top anyway.
Money isn't everything, mik, unless you live in Santa Clara, CA, and you have a huge mortgage.
I'm not so sure Ben is coaching material. Think maybe he is a little too quiet and nonconfrontational.
I was lookin like huh?? I wanna see how this is going to get the Cavs over the hump. I'm guessing he'll play in the must-win games for the Cavs.
Rumor has it that Rasheed may sign with them for a two year MLE type deal. If this happens look out. Dwight Howard won't get many double teams with that front line.
The biggest phony in professional sports......Shaquille O'Neal. He actually said "I am here to win a ring for the king". Just shoot me.
We can't shoot you. You're our friend. Just laugh at Shaq. He is very funny.
This trade does not make the Cavs a better team.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team will make up its postponed series against Cleveland State on Monday, April 22, head coach Jean Rivett announced on Thursday. The series, originally slated as a three-game home series April 6-7, will be played as a doubleheader in Cleveland. Green Bay will act as the home team with games scheduled to start at 10 a.m. and noon central standard time.
With the relocation of the series, the Phoenix has just one home series remaining on the 2013 schedule—a three-game stint against Detroit on May 4-5. The games of the series will serve as the team's home opener, parents' day, senior day and regular-season home finale.
This weekend Green Bay travels to Youngstown, Ohio, for a three-game series against the Penguins on Saturday and Sunday before playing Monday's doubleheader in Cleveland.
