>Earl Watson played 10 minutes in his return to the Jazz Friday night, which, he said, was by design.
And on a night the Jazz lost starter Mo Williams to a sprained right ankle, the veteran point guard felt like he had more to give.
"It's not my call not to play extended minutes," he said. "I don't know who it's coming from. I was just got told my minutes would be 10 minutes. As far as physically, I feel like I can play more because I practice. "
The Jazz beat Sacramento 104-102 and certainly weren't hurting for more productivity from their point guards. In 31 minutes, Jamaal Tinsley finished with 2 points and 12 assists (his third double-digit assist performance of the season). However, there were encouraging signs from Watson, as well, including a fourth-quarter lob to Gordon Hayward who dunked on the finish.
"That was me just trying to make a play," Watson said. "It was a tough catch. I threw the pass really high, Gordon did a good job of going to get it. That was when I really felt comfortable, but at that time my 10 minutes was up. So I was out."
Coach Tyrone Corbin said before the game that he would limit Watson's minutes as he eases back into the rotation. Of course, it doesn't help Corbin that his other two point guards have performed well through 13 games.
"We'll try to get him on the floor tonight for a few minutes," Corbin said before the game, "and see how he responds with the flight and then the game tomorrow night in Sacramento and see how things go. All the guys are playing well so we just have to try to make it work."
Watson was unable to walk for the first three months following April knee surgery, but said he has "been working as hard as you can work. I'm not sure there's anyone who works as hard as me. I think I'm prepared for whatever, whatever minutes I get I'm prepared."
• Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette scored 10 points off the bench for the Kings, including a 3-pointer with about 7 minutes left that gave Sacramento a 12-point lead. The second-year point guard was booed every time he touched the ball, and said after the game that he was "was grateful that they still follow my career."
"I didn't really notice it," Hayward said of the booing. "I couldn't tell if it was booing or what it was. He hasn't actually played recently I don't think, so for him to come in and play the way he did I thought was pretty good effort by him."
Games in Salt Lake City have been a totally different experience for Fredette than Hayward's returns to Indianapolis, his hometown.
"There might have been more Hayward jerseys the first time I went back than Pacer jerseys," he said.
Of course, it's not a totally perfect comparison: Fredette is from Glens Falls, N.Y., and that BYU-Utah rivalry is, well, unique.
• Mo Williams hobbled off the floor with 5:41 remaining in the first quarter. He fell over defending a 3-point basket by Aaron Brooks, and sprained his right ankle. He returned with 9:57 left in the second quarter but was replaced by Earl Watson little more than a minute later.
"I was going to give it a go, and just play through the pain," Willams said in the locker room following the game, wearing a walking boot. No word on whether Williams will be available for the Jazz Saturday night in Sacramento.
"I'm just [going to] ice the hell out of it tonight, get a laser on it, see how it responds tomorrow," he said.

Re: Retirement
I would carry all 300 connected all the time, as moving 100ft of chain around would be very difficult. As Mark pointed out, rope rode is vulnerable to being abraded or cut.
In our fortunate case, 300 ft is a factory option, so she's designed to carry it.
Re: Retirement
Hi Minnewaska- Wondering how are you going to carry the 300'. Hooked up and ready to deploy always or 200' and another 100" ready to shackle together. See people buying Spade anchors to get weight off the bow then put huge weight in chain up there. Agree to get 5:1 or better in some places 300' is necessary. ( Have 200' of 5/16 HiTest now-it's alot of weight plus the weight of the chain/line secondary anchor set up). Also, it's sometimes scary to be anywhere near some of the bareboaters.
Re: Retirement
The point about moorings taking up anchorage space is true near popular landings. However, even in the BVI there are plenty of anchorages available, with essentially nothing ashore nearby and, therefore, not very popular.
When we get to our 6 mo per year Caribbean plan, 300 ft of chain is absolutely a requirement (200 ft of 1/2" now). There are several mooring fields in the BVI, for example, with 40 - 50 ft of protected water behind them where one can anchor. You just need the proper tackle. Bareboaters do not want to deal with 50 ft of depth.
Re: Retirement

It is pretty crowded and moorings now fill some (many) of the best anchorages. In some places like parts of the USVI, moorings have been installed to protect the coral. These are relatively inexpensive compared to BVI which are really expensive. When we go through the Eastern Caribbean next year we are just going to skip the BVI. There are not a huge number of marinas considering how many boats there are. You rarely see 'ordinary' sailboats in marinas. We never spent a night in a marina anywhere in the Caribbean.
The OP is from Britain. He is likely used to honking winds ... and they won't be warm like in the Caribbean. You can pick your windows and rarely have more than 25 knots and you will be reaching. Generally great sailing, although Bequia to St Vincent (8 miles) was quite miserable.
I'm just trying to highlight that Caribbean sailing/cruising is going to involve more time spent in marinas than you'd imagine.

Re: Retirement
Thank you all and so good to read nothing but positive comments:
So here's the plan. Spend at least one winter bareboat chartering in the Caribbean, try to figure it out and get legals etc. sorted.
We are a British couple and my daughter is going to sponsor us into the US, got that figured.
The issue now is do I buy my next boat in the US and try to sell my current one here (French Mediterranean) or do what Ancasta have suggested buy the boat in the UK with mine as a PX and then sail the new one across the pond with one of the rallies; target date Christmas 2014. Only I can figure that one. Thinking of the Beneteau Sense 50 with Dock 'n Go. Lots of room, simple to sail, not too big, comfortable with roller reefing to the main. My Hunter gonna be an issue with the mainsail in my dotage, my wife already needs an electric winch to get the main up.
So thanks again for the encouragement a great project for us let's hope the house sells quickly. Anyone want a beautiful home in France? Just a thought
Re: Retirement
Have the same dream and working it through. Selling current boat and new boat comes in April. Have gone down to Carribean looking at various islands to "home port". ( just got back from USVIs- sailed with a liveaboard couple on a Skye 51 for a day and learned some). Have worked through budget/insurance/mail/residency/taxes/communications/legal etc. Selling house but buying small pied a terre in states so still have a "home" on land. Still working out options for hurricane season. Only advise is go step wise if you can and listen closely to folks who are already "living the dream". Look at your next boat as the boat you BOTH can single in any weather and you can sail when you are 80. Think if you are going to go coastal then Bahamas then eastern carib. or ARC to BVIs or the ditch or one shot to Carib. Think if you may ever want to do the pond or other blue water. Every time you buy and sell a boat it's a PIA and from what you say like me this is your "last boat". Best of luck.

Re: Retirement
Good input from Killarney, who is halfway around a circumnavigation so knows a bit about this.
It sounds like the sailing part is reasonable and even two straight weeks is enough to have some idea what would be getting into. We have many first time posters who have never been on a sailboat and plan to set off on incredible adventures. Glad to see you're more grounded.
You nationality is going to have some impact on what will be easiest for you and what it will cost. Before I set off on anything permanent, why don't you take a holiday and rent a bareboat somewhere to see what its all about. You just can't lose.
Good luck with your planning and your retirement. Before deciding to go to the Caribbean you need to do a lot more research and probably should think about going for a winter season to see how you like it. I will start you off with a few things to consider.
There is the whole question of hurricane season - roughly June to October. Most, but certainly not all, cruisers try to out of the Caribbean for this time (it is also very hot). People tend to go at least as far south as Grenada and many will have their boats hauled and return to their home countries for several months.
There are fascinating cultural differences to enjoy with islands having English, French, Spanish, and Dutch backgrounds. In the Eastern Caribbean most islands are a daysail apart.
Some cruisers move around a lot while others stay put, you will discover which you are.
We are monohull sailors but could see the advantages of a cat for Caribbean cruising/living.
When thinking about getting to the Caribbean and moving around while there it is all about wind direction. The trades will be both your best friend and worst enemy.
Have fun.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS2378335
This kit comes with the wheels, bumpers, fold down tine and flexrow retainer.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Jenn-Air.
This part works with the following products: Dishwasher, Dryer, Range, Range Hood.
I ordered the part and was hoping to just take out one rack and put in the other, there were NO instructions or even a diagram of the rack. There was a fold down rack that was not attached and a few parts that I have no idea what they are. This was very discouraging. The main thing is that the rack is quite a bit lighter than the original one so I doubt it will last very long. The price was more than I wanted to pay but I didn't have any options in replacement parts.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
The dishrack came in one box I opened the box snapped on the rollers and the bumpers and put it in the dishwasher, could not have been easier Thank you partselect
I pulled off the old clips and easily replaced them with the new clips and popped on the wheels. I replaced 8 clips and 8 wheels in less than 15mins
There were no instructions with the part, but looking at the old rack it was simple to see how the parts should be assembled. Took the center part from the old rack, twisted off, and applied it to the center of the new rack. Snapped on the wheels and was done. Very simple assembly.
Repair went OK but there were no instructions at all. Just boxes full of parts. Otherwise,assembly went smoothly. The dishwasher works like new. ( I feel that the parts were way over priced)
This is the second time I have replaced a rack. You just pop on the new rollers and you're good to go!
We took the rollers off the old one (new ones came with the dishrack also) and put them on the dishrack (they snapped on). There was also an extra piece that we figured out how to put on. Then slid it in place and it was fine.
It was a piece of cake, just slapped together and slid it into place!
First, I checked the ripped box for damage to the dishrack. Fortunately, there was none. Then I looked for the instruction booklet. Unfortunately, there was none. And the parts bag was ripped and I did not know what was supposed to be in it. So, I rechecked the photo of the dishrack on the website and found that either parts were missing or the dishrack was different than illistrated. After a few moments of thought, I realized the latter was the case. I then figured I would have to use some deep thought to do the installation since neither the missing instruction booklet nor the unzoomable photo would help. So, I pulled out the tall thin thingamabob from the old dishrack and put it in the new one though it did not secure as tightly. Then I put the wheel units on just like the old one. What I could not immediately figure out was where the collapsible rack row was mounted. I eventually realized that the rod went into a hole in the wheel units and the latch mounted above one unit. I still have no idea where the two other tan clips go. Though the dishrack is different and thus requires different science to fill it, it appears to do the job.Thanks for asking.By the way, it was not blue.
The lower dish rack rolls directly out of the dishwasher without problem - there is no permanent attachment. The new rack comes as a kit, which includes the 4 required dish rack wheels (Part # 6 in the diagram). One part (only) from the original dish rack needs to be removed and re-installed on the new rack - the upper spray arm tower (Part #5 in the diagram). That is easily removed from the original rack with a 1/8 counterclockwise turn, to disengage the 'feet', and installed on the new rack with a 1/8 clockwise turn. The kit is designed to allow for use on multiple models, so there are 'extra' parts left over, after it is used for the DU8500XX-2 dishwasher. These can be discarded.
Kit didn't have the center conical piece. Easy to switch tho. I am impressed at the speed of which the part arrived.
Since there were no printed instructions, we looked at the photo schematic.Reassembly using the photo was easy by putting the old rack alongside the new one and adjusting the new rack spacing to match the old one.We also had new wheels which snapped on.We were delighted to repair and replace this good, older dishwasher rather than purchase a new one!
installed a new rack
The rack came with pictorial instructions which were fairly veg, however they were to the point. The wheels snapped into place easily, and the center water transfer tube twisted off the old one and twisted on the new one just fine. It is a very good idea to keep the old one out to look at as a guide. There were no instructions on how to remove the transfer tube, I was lucky to have already worked on these before. After that it fits and works just peachy.
Assemblies snap on, no tools needed

The University of St. Thomas Psychology Department was well represented at the 59th Southwestern Psychological Association Annual Meeting on April 5-7 in Fort Worth, Texas. Sixteen students and three faculty members presented research that addressed important health and societal issues.
Among the many presentations, SWPA's annual meeting offered many opportunities for continuing education sessions, workshops, symposia and invited talks. SWPA prides itself on serving the psychological community by providing access to scientific advances and professional development within a collegial atmosphere.
UST student participants included Nick Boras, Maria Castenell, Lindsey Cortner, Jessica Davenport, Stephen Dickerman, Justo Garcia, Lindsey Holton, Clayton Humphrey, Ronald Key, Miriam Lagos, Makenzie Maupin, Madeleine Patton, Melissa Perez, Meredith Rimkus, Addison Roy and Rachel Trejo.
The students were supervised by psychology faculty members Dr. Jo Meier-Marquis, associate professor and chair, Dr. Carl Scott, associate professor, and Dr. Srijana Shrestha, assistant professor.
Overall, students considered the conference a unique opportunity where they could present their research and receive feedback on their work. Many had an opportunity to respond to questions addressed to them and network with like-minded professionals.
The undergraduate psychology program is an integration of research, methodology, social justice, a liberal arts curriculum, the study of human nature and mental processes. Psychology students will graduate with the skills and strong scientific foundation essential for graduate studies and successful careers in psychology.

Three Big Questions | Banned Drinkers, Tony's Vision and Drugs in sport
Feb 08, 2013 , 2:42 PM by Mick Murdoch
The Territory has been under the federal spotlight this week; first it was the Prime Minister Julia Gillard calling on the Country Liberals to reinstate the Banned Drinker Register while Opposition Leader,Tony Abbott gave us his vision for the future of North Australia.
Our Three Big questions panel of Wendy Morton (NTCOSS), Sylvia Wolf (Tourism Consultant) and Drew Wagner (Minerals Council NT) tackled those issues and gave us their thoughts on smoking during pregnancy and the bombshell that drug use was wide spread in professional sport in Australia.

Mama May i strives to reduce the impact of our products on the environment and your little one. We avoid the use of harsh chemicals and varnishes and instead, use plant based pigments, and organic beeswax to finish our wooden playthings. We use mostly untreated Poplar, Maple, and Oak that is locally sourced. We know how important your little one's safety is and we won't sell anything we wouldn't let our own little ones enjoy.

Right? Where are the close up pictures, features, and what does it say?
Feature writer's day off? Love this list of features for the "Gettin' Around" and "Jungle Jingle" toy chests:
• Feature 1
• Feature 2
• Feature 3
Okay, it's actually about half of the chests that have no features listed. C'mon, Woot writers, how are we supposed to be tempted to spend money we probably shouldn't with no features?
All star sports is $190 at BJs. This is a great price.
I found what it says on the Jungle Jingle Bench!
From the manufacturer's website:

I even went to the website. What are the product details? What kind of wood? I wouldn't feel comfortable buying from this manufacturer if they can't even give materials information.

Lukas Podolski says Arsenal fans can expect to see many more goals like his superb second strike against Cologne on Sunday.
The Germany international started the move at the RheinEnergieStadion with a raking pass to the onrushing Kieran Gibbs, who cut it back for the 27-year-old to fire home powerfully from the edge of the area.
It was quite a way to introduce himself to his new supporters, and Podolski says there is plenty more where that came from.
"That is the kind of goal Arsenal fans can expect from me," he said. "It was a good goal. We played very well with good combinations and it was fun.
"The passing and the movement of the team is very good - it is a good match. This is what I want and what I like. I like to pass quickly and, without the ball, to play and go. This is my style of football and we play this style.
"For me it has been very easy to settle. It's a very good team and the guys are very good - it was easy to be one of the guys. It's a great atmosphere."
Podolski has been encouraged by his impressive start to life at Arsenal, and believes it bodes well for the future.
"The Premier League has five or six teams who can play for the title and we are one of them," he said.
"We really want to win this trophy and I hope I can score a lot of goals and make some assists to help the club in the Premier League.
"When you are a footballer you must be ready - you're on the pitch to win. Whether it is against Cologne or against Sunderland, you are a footballer and you must be ready to win matches."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Junior Cari Blalock set a school record in the women's 400-yard individual medley to highlight a second day of competition for North Carolina swimming at the Ohio State Invitational being held at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
After two days of competition the men are in third place and the women in fourth place in the team standings. Stanford leads the women's standings with 559 followed by Florida with 534, Ohio State with 412, North Carolina with 402, Notre Dame with 314, Wisconsin with 260, Indiana with 103, Purdue with 63 and Texas with 53.
On the men's side, host Ohio State leads with 894 followed by Florida with 640.5, North Carolina with 407.5, Wisconsin with 289, Indiana with 208, Stanford with 65 and Purdue with 44.
"We are enjoying the great competition at the OSU Invitational and learning more about our team. Both teams are racing tough and learning a great deal about how their preparation impacts their performances," said UNC head coach Rich DeSelm. "This is proving to be a great setting for us to work together as a team, swim a lot of events and find out more about our strengths and weaknesses. We are looking forward to racing more tomorrow and getting home, doing a fantastic job with exams and working on what we are learning here this weekend."
The Tar Heel men started the evening in fine fettle as Carolina recorded a season best time in the 200-yard medley relay to claim fifth place. The UNC quartet of freshmen Nic Graesser, Kurt Wohlrab, Sam Lewis and All-America junior Kyle Ficker was clocked in 1:29.66. That was more than a second faster than UNC's previous season best of 1:30.84 recorded against Virginia Tech.
UNC junior Cari Blalock eclipsed the Tar Heel school record in the 400-yard individual medley as she placed third in a time of 4:07.51. Carolina's previous record was 4:07.66 set by Laura Moriarty in 2010. Blalock's time took exactly 1.5 seconds off her previous career best of 4:09.01 and it was also just .22 of a seconds shy of Claire Crippen's ACC record time of 4:07.29. Carolina freshman Emma Nunn was also in the championship final of the event, placing ninth in 4:17.54.
In the men's 400-yard individual medley, the Tar Heels had a cadre of six individuals place in the Top 20 of the event led by senior Tom Luchsigner in seventh place with a clocking of 3:52.29.

Sampling new ethnic foods can be a culinary adventure. If you look close enough in the Salt Lake Valley, you can usually find a small store, deli or restaurant that fits such a niche.
But, using a recommendation from a longtime friend, I had to search a bit harder than normal to find the Luybochka Cafe and Deli at 949 E. 3300 South.
The building that houses the establishment that specializes in Russian ethnic foods looks almost abandoned, with the storefronts on the first floor empty. A small sign points upstairs to a nail shop and deli next to each other. They are owned and operated by Naum and Luypochka Shkrab.
It was worth the search.
"People find us by the Internet," Naum explained.
Naum, a friendly man with a closely trimmed mustache and thick accent who migrated to the United States from Moldova in the 1990s shortly after the Soviet Union broke up, took time to patiently explain the different products he carries. He has been at this location for 12 years.
It was a bit early for the lunch crowd, so he had time to bring out some of the specialties he serves in the small, spotless seating area. These included borscht, a traditional Russian soup; pirogis, a pastry stuffed with meat; blintzes with meat or cheese; pemeni, a dumpling with meat; and vareniki, a dumpling with potato.
Then there are sandwiches, made with special Russian mayo on dark rye bread imported from New York that often include freshly sliced Russian cheese that tastes a bit like Havarti and different types of meat including Russian bologna, knockwurst and a garlic-infused meat that was delicious.
So where did Naum learn to make these delicacies? He almost laughed when I asked him.
"Of course, my mom made me some," he said. "My grandma. Everybody in Russia made them. People make a lot of pelmeni. In Russia, that's number one. It's easy to cook. You don't need to spend a lot of time."
My friend Nancy Melich, who told me about Luybochka, said she discovered a homemade farmer's cheese she vaguely remembered from her youth. When I mentioned this, Shkrab smiled, went to a refrigerated case and pulled out a container of the cheese, offering a sample. It tasted like a rich cream cheese.
That got me looking at some of the other items in the store, including imported Russian juice, tarragon- or pear-flavored carbonated drinks, kefir that is like buttermilk, cream cheese from Finland, and special Russian butter and sour cream. Kvas, a Russian drink that comes in a large bottle, is made from rye.
"It tastes like root beer, only a little different," Naum said.
Do you carry caviar?
"Of course!" he said with a laugh, grabbing a $70 4-ounce bottle of black caviar but saying a red variety is available for only $8.
He also offered a sample of halva, a delicacy that came in a huge block. It is made from crushed sunflower seeds with a slight touch of sugar. It was so delicious I bought some to take home.
I loved looking at the different types of teas, coffees, candy and Russian versions of Jell-O, ketchup and mayonnaise.
There were Russian books, traditional wooden toys, greeting cards and CDs for sale. A dried fish and garlic hung from the ceiling.
I left amazed at the different tastes I had sampled, looking forward to eating the wonderful-tasting sandwich I took to work.
Most important, Naum made me feel like a welcomed friend, though we had just met. Since the little store and deli is near my mom's house in my old neighborhood, I suspect I will be returning soon.

text: By their nature, it's often hard to integrate spins into the choreography of a program instead of just sticking them in as technical feats. This is probably more true under IJS, since the rewards for adding higher levels are more obvious and reliable than rewards for originality or matching the spins to the music or program theme. Can we use this thread to celebrate some examples where the spins are used for those purposes? How else can spins contribute to the choreography? Examples? I'll try to come back later with some of my own.

Community and social computing
with Tags: social_networks X
A continuum of social models
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  books social_networks community_building community_models 3,419 Views
In my earlier view, I only identified two stages: social networks, and communities. The former describes a loose network of people who generally keep in touch with each other for a common purpose, whether purely social or for business purposes. The people within the network usually know the others, and have some degree of strong ties with each other, but they don't really define themselves in detail as a group, have well-defined goals or ideology. This contrasts against the next level of networks, the community, which do have a common identity and purpose, and where the network of people generally work together for the direction of the community. Beyond the community is the organization, a very strongly oriented group of people, often with defined objectives, budgets and even some level of hierarchy as to how they should work together.
Somewhere in between the social network and the community are other social models. What Howard Rheingold keeps describing as "smart mobs", a loose social network of folks who gather on an "instant" basis for a specific purpose. This is slightly different than the pure social network since folks in a smart mob have a (vaguely) defined purpose: anyone who is interested in X, let's meet up to do something. Other descriptions for this are often used in events as Birds-of-Feather (BOF) sessions, and Meetups. Unlike the more personal connection of a pure social network, the members do not necessarily know each other from prior contact and simply have a common interest. This can also be a transitional idea; one the meetup is over, the members disperse taking the knowledge gained from the event. Sometimes, they do keep in contact and evolve into a longer running community of interest, where membes return to keep working on that interest.
Another model that is described aptly in The Starfish and the Spider (see my book list). Groups like the Apaches of North America (circa 1800s); Alcoholics Anonymous, a peer-group organization, etc. These have some of the characteristics of a social network in that each group is fairly independent with no overall leader. However, they also go the next step along where there is an organizing principle or ideology, and there are local leaders on a decentralized basis. I call this as something different--some will say I'm just splitting hairs--because the overall larger picture of the group is never centrally coordinated. For that matter, something like this is hard to converge into a realistic distributed model, unless there is a strong need for and common belief amongst the members that the goals and purpose are what they share. Otherwise, it tends to be a localized organized that never grows beyond it's domain.
On the other end, the centralized community, seems like a good idea to try out at the beginning but over time this can grow into an inherent bureaucracy instilled in trying to centralize activities. It has some advantages in that there is less tendency to deviate from the mission of the community across the distributed organization. The Starfish model on the other hand has resilience, but truly works on a decentralized basis if the core goals and beliefs are truly of common interest on a distributed scale, and has been tested over time. Otherwise, it can break down into separate factions as each group goes its own way.
The key to group involvement in any of these types of people networks is still strong leadership and influencers. There are good practices and models for each level that can help people work faster or better, but the idea still depends on a having an interest in being a leader and keeping that interest and momentum going over time. I'm surprised by how many folks keep imagining that they can instantly grow a network from complete zero to success in a very short time. Such situations are pretty rare, and usually, new ideas that work in this vein really leverage existing relationships, population moods or past history to get there, rather than truly working from zero.

Hi this is my first formal post on this site, so first of all hi, my name is Jeffrey and i am a special effects artist. Anyways i have been working with two part silicone, alginate, and plaster for years now, but in my freelance work i know that theaters and other groups doesn't have the money to spend on these items.
I have been experimenting with 100% silicone caulk, and trying to get it to form solid pieces and still cure. So fare i have been able to use Glycerin to help the curing process.
so i guess my question is do you know of any chemicals to add to silicone caulk to get it to pore like two part silicone?
I was hoping to be able to get some useful information from you guys, what are your thoughts?

As the City of Roses, Portland, Ore., began like any typical garden: full of promise and mud. Well-watered by two rivers, this fur-trapper's station gradually blossomed into a major Northwest port. If your ancestors transplanted themselves to Portland, it's not difficult to find out more about them in one of America's greenest cities.
A city blooms
Portland sprouted in the shade of several half-grown towns. A declining Chinook village to the north had been claimed by the British as Fort Vancouver in 1824. Several towns grew in the fertile Willamette Valley to the south, including Oregon City, the French-Canadian Catholic colony of French Prairie and several Methodist missions in the 1830s and 1840s.

The cafeteria ladies at Cedar Key School may be the some of the proudest ladies you have never met.
With student enrollment at Cedar Key School expected to be on the rise this year, Principal Sue Ice was under even more pressure to make sure students were clear about what's expected of them.
Teachers are planning for the students to be back in many ways. They are getting their rooms and materials ready; making instructional plans and schedules, based on assessment scores and student needs.
Something new this year is the theme of SHARK PRIDE that involves characteristics that we would like everyone to exhibit.
Cedar Key Police Chief Virgil Sandlin reported this week the breakdown for both local and state citations, for the month of July.
Local citations included: three for speeding, 14 for "Failure to pay launch pass," 13 parking violations, five moving violations and three curfew violations (minors out after 11 p.m. without an adult).
Near the end of a meeting in which the School Board of Levy County approved, among other things, a tentative millage and budget for 2011-12, board member Cameron Asbell of Bronson offered up a cost-savings idea.
Savannah Beckham Clark graduated from the College of Central Florida Adult Education Program on July 14. She was one of 21 who received their Florida High School Diploma in ceremonies at Usher Center in Chiefland.
Her instructors said she is a fast-track student who took the GED almost immediately upon entering.
She hopes to attend college soon.
Concerns were raised last week by a Levy County School Board member regarding a high percentage of the budget going to salaries but the explanation seemed to satisfy the board.
Robert Philpot, a former Williston Ag teacher and the newest member, said that almost 70 percent for salaries seemed disproportionate to him and asked for an explanation of that line item in the 2011/2012 proposed budget.
Academic Year in America (AYA) is looking for Cedar Key families to host high school exchange students from all over the world.
Who can host a student through AYA? According to AYA Director Melanie French, an important aspect of the AYA program is that there are many types of people who can host.
Levy schools Finance Director Bob Clemmons says dealing with the 2011-12 budget is a bit "like standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and looking down."
A non-agenda item highlighted Tuesday's School Board of Levy County meeting.

Thought I'd post this here for any input as I pursue an Ohio CCW...Gander Mountain had this org posted in the lobby. After reviewing the 'normal' local classes required to submit a permit to the local (or adjacent) Sheriff's office I looked at these guys for classwork also.
If I read it right...looks like a loophole type class. Not necessarily bad, but a loophole path nonetheless.
Any thoughts from ya'll? Be great to get done in one day but if there's problems/delays/short comings associated with it...would love to know what you think. I really don't need the range time but....

Thank you for choosing to perform a unique Grumpy Sheep Musical! We create each musical with great love and care, and we very much hope that you will enjoy your performances as much as we enjoy composing and writing the works. If you are producing a programme please acknowledge in print that the musical is published by Grumpy Sheep Music. Similarly, if you are making an introductory or concluding speech, please let your audience know that we are the publishers.
Below are the general legal guidelines to the most usual licensing and copyright topics. Please read them through and if you have any further queries, please call Grumpy Sheep Music on 0191 239 9229 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. We are always glad to give advice.
For teaching purposes, the use of the material in our musicals or songbooks is freely allowed. However, if you intend to perform our musicals or songs to anyone other then staff and schoolchildren, or reproduce the lyrics of our songs, the following legal requirements need to be observed:
To Perform our Musicals...
Whether or not you charge for admission, if you perform a work which involves spoken dialogue/narrative, movement and drama, a Performing Rights Licence (PRL) is needed from the publisher. The PRL will be issued for the performance of a specific work on the dates specified only. It protects your school/organisation against any infringement of copyright. Grumpy Sheep Music offers two ways of obtaining Performing Rights Licences:-
a) Traditional Licence
Grumpy Sheep Music licences are amongst the most reasonable available and begin at £15. The back page of each of our musicals incorporates the PRL application form. Please photocopy and complete this form and email (firstname.lastname@example.com) fax (0191 2475740) or post it to us at Grumpy Sheep Music, PO Box 152, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE7 7WB. We will then assess it according to the information supplied and invoice. Do give us an email address and we'll email the licence back to you asap! If you need a PRL form in a hurry please go to Performance Rights Licences on our How to Order page and download a form.
You can apply for this licence at any time before you intend to perform the work. It covers the performance of the work in question on the specified dates only.
b) Advance Licence
This licence can only be purchased at the same time as ordering the Book & CD of the same title. It can't be bought separately or at a later date. The Advance Licence costs £12.50 for our Simply Special mini-musical, £15 for each of the Early Years musicals and £17.50 for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 1/2 musicals. The option to buy the Advance Licence online appears when you select a quantity from the Book & CD drop down menu in the 'Buy now' table.
The Advance Licence is useful if you know that you will be performing a specific musical in the near future. It can be ordered at the same time as the musical and may be cheaper to buy than the traditional licence.
Grumpy Sheep Music advance licences allow up to six performances of a specific musical only, within a 6 month specified period. (This licence is intended only for use by playgroups, schools, church groups etc. It is not intended for use, for example, by theatre and stage schools who need to apply for our traditional Performing Rights Licence.)
Please note, that if you intend to make video or audio recordings of our material, you must contact us to arrange a separate licence in order to do this. This audio/video licence can be arranged after the purchase of the advance licence.
To Perform our Songs...
If you want to perform any of our songs in public, to anyone other than schoolchildren and staff, royalty payments apply. Schools generally have an agreement, via the LEA, with the Performing Rights Society (PRS) for this purpose. If you have such an agreement, please inform the PRS about the performance of any of our songs. If your organisation does not have a PRS agreement, please contact Grumpy Sheep Music directly.
To Reproduce our Lyrics...
If you intend to reproduce our song lyrics for any reason, for example for the incorporation of lyrics into a programme, or overhead transparencies, a licence will be needed. Please contact Grumpy Sheep Music to arrange this.
Video & Audio Recordings
Please contact us if you want to make any audio or video recordings of any of our material. The traditional licence form incorporates this information. The advance licence does not, and if any recordings are to be made a separate licence is required. Please let us know the total number of recordings ultimately being duplicated, not just the one original recording you will be making.

Yes, it is a good pistol. Everyone had their own choice and preference, and as usual, I have mine.
But, that is a nice pistol. Before U buy anything, U should try to rent some handguns to see how U like them. Also, try to find people online in your area. You'd be surprised how easy it is to work out a meet and try out their guns.
I did that for my PS90 before I dropped $1500 for the thing. I wanted to try it out for that amount of cash. Look at all the gun forums and post a message on each. You will probably meet someone. I've made a couple of friends in person from meeting people on the websites.
Be aware that the Sig is DA/SA. Do U want that, or a constant trigger that is the same on every shot (like the M&P, Glock, XD, etc).

Monday November 18th, 2013 1:28pm
MISENHEIMER, NC - The Pfeiffer men's lacrosse team has announced its 2014 schedule after a successful 13-4 campaign a season ago. This year will be the first season for Head Coach Jason Lange as he takes over a program that has increased its win total each of the last four seasons.
The Falcons will take on four teams that represented the South Region in the NCAA Tournament last season, including Mercyhurst, last year's National Runner Up. Mercyhurst fell in the championship game to LeMoyne by one goal, 11-10. Pfeiffer will look to avenge last season's 9-8 loss to the Lakers when they travel to Erie, PA on March 1.
Pfeiffer opens the season on Feb. 8 as they host Florida Southern at noon. A week later, Pfeiffer will travel to Mars Hill, where Lange was an assistant coach prior to joining the Falcons, to take on the Lions at 2 p.m.
Conference play starts on Feb. 23 when Pfeiffer travels to Banner Elk, NC to take on Lees-McRae at 2 p.m.
The Falcons will have a six-game home stand from March 11-April 2, including conference games against Belmont Abbey and Mount Olive. The regular season wraps up with trips to St. Leo and Limestone leading to the Conference Carolinas Tournament.
"We are excited about the upcoming season," said Lange. "I think our practice schedule will prepare us for our ultimate goal of a conference championship and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament."

Anyone know if Under Armour (or anyone else) makes a white, lightweight hood? All I can find is black and olive. They have a white Cold Gear hood, but that might be too hot inside a helmet.
For long troops it would be nice to have a hood that could wick away the sweat.

Transcript: I'm Dan Fanelli with a little bit of common sense for you. Does this [motions toward older thin white man in a white shirt and tie] look like a terrorist, or this? [motions to a heavily muscled young man of color in a black shirt] It's time to stop this political correctness nonsense and the invasion of our privacy. Let's face it. If a good-looking, ripped guy without much hair flies an airplane into the Twin Towers, I'd have no problem getting pulled out of line at the airport. I'm Dan Fanelli, and I approved this message.
An older white man is totally fine to get on a plane. A younger Arab-American man is not. There is no other reason other than race that Fanelli thinks people of Arab descent are terrorists – because terrorism is very far from unique to the Middle East. These are racist scare tactics at their worst and most blatant, posing as "humor". I'm not sure what privacy has to do with it – I guess he is saying that white folks deserve it at the airport, but people of color don't?
This is what the recent changes to Arizona law have brought to political discourse. It is now officially okay to advocate racism – straight up, blatant, racism, there is no other word for it – in order to get elected.
He is saying that if you get him to Congress, he will make sure that white men are given legal privileges over folks of Arab descent.
He is saying that equal treatment under the law – as provided for in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution – is silly.
He is saying that the security theater is more important than the rights of American citizens whose skin is not white.
He is saying that racism is common sense. He is saying that preferential treatment for one race should be just a simple fact.
I'm editing to include the Council on American-Islamic Relations' reply to this advertisement:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on national Republican leaders to repudiate the ad. From their release (via the Washington Post blog):
Fanelli is arguing that voters should choose him over Congressman Alan Greyson, a Democrat who is in his first term, because of Greyson's unwillingness to promulgate racial profiling. Grayson's reticence to perpetuate legal racism makes him a "bum" (which is, by the way, a rather classist slur.)
"These outrageously racist and Islamophobic political appeals indicate that Mr. Fanelli falsely believes his constituents are as bigoted and intolerant as he obviously is," said CAIR Legislative Director Corey Saylor. "Local, state and national GOP leaders must speak out strongly against such racist and un-American campaign tactics."
Saylor said a number of recent terror incidents -- including the suicide plane attack on an IRS facility in Texas, the shooting of Pentagon guards and the alleged Christian militia plot to kill police officers -- disprove the crude stereotypes promoted by Fanelli's ads.
He said the anti-Islam hostility generated by the ads could result in ordinary Florida Muslims being targets for discrimination or even hate crimes.
I talked to Greyson's press secretary on the phone and through e-mail earlier today. He alerted me to Fanelli's regular participation in Tea Party demonstrations, and offers this rebuke from Grayson's campaign ads:
Scratch a teabagger, find a racist.As Grayson points out, Fanelli's ad and involvement in the Tea Party movement are unapologetic. His pride in racism is indicative of the kind of rhetorical racist nonsense that's endemic to the Tea Party movement. As Monica of TransGriot puts it:
[T]hey have views and have acted in ways that put them in alignment with people who like to wear white pointed hoods on the weekends or play domestic terrorist soldier while spouting pseudo christian rhetoric or anti government slogans.After reading Greyson's response, I read up on his record. He's pro-choice, voted for the Lily Ledbetter Pay Act, supports hate crime laws, and has fought tooth and nail for a more equitable health care system – he was the one who said "The Republican health care plan is this: 'Don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.". He started a website remember those who died because they lacked health insurance. He has also continued to press for a public healthcare option, refusing to be content with Obama's compromise.
I doubt he has a perfect record, and if you let me know about his more problematic attitudes and actions, I'll be happy to edit this post to include them. But he's working harder for people than many Democrats, and he's got a lot more common sense about racism than his opponent.
Today, I donated $5 to Grayson's campaign. I rarely give money to political candidates, and I don't live in Florida, but I think fighting racism in public discourse and supporting worthwhile candidates is worth a little pocket change. If you feel the same way, click on over here.
(I also wrote to Fanelli's campaign to register my disgust. The contact email is: firstname.lastname@example.com.)

yes. I'm 43 and i read comics.
past that, we are three weeks into DC's reboot: The New 52.
It's awful. generally. Everything that happened in Batman is cannon... well, most everything. Selina doesn't know he is Bruce, but other than that... all cannon. The continuity is all wonkythe JLA is just now forming. Superman is both just starting out and is an established hero. The Legion seems completely unaffected... and worse they seem to still have a complete history with Superman/boy.
Deadman looks good as does Gotham Knights (Vandal Savage is a good guy... kinda) The ramped up the sex in batman while turning Guy Gardner into a shell of his former self in JLI... He's still Guy in GLC though.
This reboot has succeded in getting me to look at BOOM!, Dynamite, Image, Dark Horse and TopCow. I mean if I have to learn new characters all over they might as well be interesting.

Why bother trying to attribute extreme events?
Nature has an interesting editorial this week on the state of the science for attributing extreme events. This was prompted by a workshop in Oxford last week where, presumably, strategies, observations and results were discussed by a collection of scientists interested in the topic (including Myles Allen, Peter Stott and other familiar names). Rather less usual was a discussion, referred to in the Nature piece, on whether the whole endeavour was scientifically worthwhile, and even if it was, whether it was of any use to anyone. The proponents of the 'unscientific and pointless' school of thought were not named and so one can't immediately engage with them directly, but nonetheless the question is worthy of a discussion.
This workshop was a follow-up to one held in 2009, which took place in a very different environment. The meeting report was typical of a project that was just getting off the ground – lots of potential, some hints of success. Today, there is a much richer literature on the topic, and multiple approaches have been tried to generate the statistical sample required for statements of fractional attribution.
But rather than focus on the mechanics for doing this attribution, the Nature editorial raises more fundamental questions:
One critic argued that, given the insufficient observational data and the coarse and mathematically far-from-perfect climate models used to generate attribution claims, they are unjustifiably speculative, basically unverifiable and better not made at all. And even if event attribution were reliable, another speaker added, the notion that it is useful for any section of society is unproven.
Both critics have a point, but their pessimistic conclusion — that climate attribution is a non-starter — is too harsh.
Nature goes on to say:
It is more difficult to make the case for 'usefulness'. None of the industry and government experts at the workshop could think of any concrete example in which an attribution might inform business or political decision-making. Especially in poor countries, the losses arising from extreme weather have often as much to do with poverty, poor health and government corruption as with a change in climate.
Do the critics (and Nature sort-of) have a point? Let's take the utility argument first (since if there is no utility in doing something, the potentially speculative nature of the analysis is moot). It is obviously the case that people are curious about this issue: I never get as many media calls as in the wake of an extreme weather event of some sort. And the argument for science merely as a response to human curiosity about the world is a strong one. But I think one can easily do better. We discussed a few weeks ago how extreme event attribution via threshold analysis or absolute metrics reflected a view of what was most impactful. Given that impacts generally increase very non-linearly with the size/magnitude of an event, changes in extremes frequency or intensity have an oversized influence on costs. And if these changes can be laid at the feet of specific climate drivers, then they can certainly add to the costs of business-as-usual scenarios which are then often compared to the cost of mitigation. Therefore improved attribution of shifts in extremes (in whatever direction) have the potential to change cost-benefit calculations and thus policy directions.
Additionally, since we are committed to certain amount of additional warming regardless of future trends in emissions, knowing what is likely in store in terms of changing extremes and their impacts, feeds in directly to what investments in adaptation are sensible. Of course, if cost-effective investments in resilience are not being made even for the climate that we have (as in many parts of the developing world), changes to calculations for a climate changed world are of lesser impact. But there are many places where investments are being made to hedge against climate changes, and the utility is clearer there.

David Melchar has worn a lot of hats at Roger Williams University. He has been a student, alumnus ('76) and faculty member. He is also the father of Dana ('94) and Carl ('01) and the husband of Roberta ('98). And while he has seen the University transformed over the past 38 years, he has remained impressed by the student-centeredness and how supportive the community is.
After retiring from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1986, Professor Melchar stepped down from his teaching position at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., and brought his family back to Rhode Island. It was luck and good timing, he says, that landed him a position as a professor of business management at his alma mater.
"Being a teacher means valuing every one of your students unconditionally, regardless of how they may or may not be performing in the classroom," Professor Melchar says. "The faculty members I had when I was a student at Roger Williams sincerely cared about me, and I strive to be the same way. I truly care about my students' welfare." "My family, without question, has benefitted from Roger Williams – more than I can ever give back."

First, let me say that I'm new to all this and a bit overwhelmed at the complexity of it all. As I understand it, it's almost impossible for an American to get a position as an ESL teacher employed by some kind of school or org. in the primary countries of Europe. That being the case, I'm seeking suggestions for the best country to combine the following: nearness to Italy or Greece; generally good employment opps.; generally decent living/working conditions.
Anyone care to put forward a candidate?
Thanks in advance for your consideration with this.

Paleo vs Keto
Carbohydrates are a hot topic in the Paleo world. Although not strictly defined as such, the relatively low-carb nature of the Paleo diet provides a plethora of health benefits. How many carbs should your Paleo diet include for optimal health? The answer depends on many things including your gender, health status, stress level, activity level and your goals. Some find greater benefits from going very low-carb in order to create and maintain a state of ketosis. Ketosis can occur as … Continue reading

Hi, I hope you don't mind me posting for advice here and sorry if what I have to say is long winded!
I am a native english speaker from London living permanantly in Denmark (danish husband and a child) with basic danish language skills myself. I have done a weekend only TEFL course about 5 years ago before I moved here but as of yet have not completed the extra 20 hours for a full certificate I am constantly asked why I don't consider teaching english as there is a big market here and there is even an international department in a nearby school where children are regularly monitered to see if they can keep up doing half their high school education in english, so probably many a parent would pay to have their children get some extra help! I would love to start but I just have no idea how! Most danes already have a good grasp of english so I would not be teaching novices but if I advertise and ask what their needs are where do i go from there? Do people generally bring along work they want help with or do I provide structured lessons? My DH said students will probably like help with grammar and conversation. Are there any must have books I should have on my shelf? Is it appropriate to ask them to email me information on what they would like to do in their lessons beforehand so I can prepare?
Sorry if I sound clueless, I am lol but I also feel very enthusiastic to get started.
Thanks in advance, Katt.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - University of Richmond head football coach Danny Rocco announced the signing of 13 student-athletes on Wednesday. The student-athletes submitted National Letters of Intent to play for the Spiders beginning in the 2013 season. The 13-member signing class includes seven offensive and six defensive recruits.
"We are all very excited about our signing class of 2013," Rocco remarked. "We set out to upgrade our overall team speed with a focus on our skilled positions, as well as targeting an overall group that is taller, longer and more athletic. The versatility of this class is most evidenced in the fact that 11 of the 13 signees offer legitimate position flexibility. The vast majority of this year's class was able to make an early decision to attend the University of Richmond."
The 2013 recruiting class will join a highly-talented Spider Football team that returns 17 starters from a 2012 squad that went 8-3 and earned a share of the CAA Football conference title. The Spiders had numerous quality wins in 2012, defeating Villanova in Philadelphia, while also taking down then No. 2-ranked James Madison. Richmond also defeated perennial CAA power Delaware at Robins Stadium and long-time rival William & Mary to claim the Capital Cup.
Head coach Danny Rocco will discuss the 2013 Richmond Football recruiting class at the Richmond Marriott West from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Coach Rocco will be joined by members of his staff and video highlights of the 2013 recruiting class will be shown. The event, which includes light refreshments, is free and open to the public and media. No RSVP is required.
Below fans can see a chart of all of the Spiders signees, with a full biography of each player underneath the chart.
