TITLE:Morehouse Police Beat Up Civil Rights Leader!
TIME FRAME: 1 Month
Contact Morehouse College and Morehouse Police Department and demand that an act of police brutality perpetrated against civil rights icon Mukasa Dada (Willie Ricks) are corrected and that he is compensated for his injuries.
Protest Police Brutality!
Rectify an act of police brutality against Mukasa Dada, formerly named Willie Ricks, creator of the term "Black Power" and pioneering civil rights activist.
Morehouse police beat up Civil Rights Leader and Elder, Mukasa Dada former known as Willie Ricks of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), on Thursday, November 10, 2005 at Morehouse College. As a Field Secretary for SNCC and overall freedom fighter for Black people in general, we feel this attack by Morehouse Police is dishonorable, appallingly contradictory, and a slap in the face to all Black Leadership past, present, and future. Mukasa Dadas history in the civil rights movement, Black power movement, and all Black progressive movements is impeccable. Not only did Mukasa Dada popularize the chant of Black Power but he also is highly spoken of by other civil rights leaders.

Loved the space themed elevators, sleekness of the lobby,?super comfy beds, Texas shaped lazy river, glass wall in pool overlooking park, how the tv said my name when I walked into my room The shampoo, conditioner & soap products were not to my liking. Didn't like the 'woody' scent they had. Found some random m&ms on the floor near the our window, shades were hard to shut, expensive $22 breakfast buffet downstairs, the $5 Fiji water
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The service from the front desk was fantastic!
The hotel was clean and had the best pool facility that I have ever seen in a hotel. The room was very spacious. There were many places to eat, so the hotel was in a great location. I did not like that I had to leave at the end of my stay.
Location and cleaniness Enjoyed everything
It was very clean and all the staff were very welcoming and made my stay enjoyable. The room was very clean and the beds where amazingly soft and very comfortable.
Very nice and beautiful and the staff where amazing They charge you to use internet
The pool area was excellent.
Cleanliness and location N/A
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
We enjoyed the proximity to Minute Maid park, the short walks to most downtown destinations and the hotel bar No microwaves in the rooms
The showers. Room overall was nice. Everything was enjoyable. That their is no self park. U have no choice but to pay $30 plus tax for valet a day.

Who will play Mr Grey in the 50 Shades Movie?
So apparently it's down to 3 guys to play the leading role in the 50 Shades of Grey Movie. First of all, I have to say I'm glad there is going to be a movie because with my working 2 jobs and being a single mom I only have time to read about the news, celebrity dirt and topic ideas for the show.
These are the 3 guys they say are in the running according to www.policymic.com :
Ryan Gosling
Henry Cavil
Aleksander Skarsgard
It also says that runners up are Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer. MATT BOMBER! Why is he not in the Top 3???? HE by far beats out the other guys in acting skills and HOTNESS!!!! I don't get it!
So by looking at the canidates I would have to say my vote is for Henry Cavil, I googled him and he will do just fine!
I'm curious who you think should play Christian, so please comment!

thanks for the kind words guys. I'll pass the credit onto Whistle8mp who bailed me out of a tricky situation. thanks my friend, I owe you one.
thanks for the kind words guys. I'll pass the credit onto Whistle8mp who bailed me out of a tricky situation. thanks my friend, I owe you one.
You know what? Based on that info I better get a 38" belt. Forgot that this sits low on the hips and has to fit over the cod, and that it shrinks a bit. Hope it is not too late to change that - sorry.
Hey Ben...any news when you will start a new list? #1 ESB
are the threads that tie the strands together mohair or are they nylon like most of the girthbelts being sold now a days? If there mohair I might be interested in one.
The ESB belts look wicked! I'm going to have to try a few.
I think you nailed it Bounty!!!!!!!! Best looking esb girths I've ever seen offered!!!!!
thanks Damian, that means a lot bro espeacially what we went through to get em done. I can't say enough to you guys for your continuing support. I know you've all been waiting for these and I'm just sorry I couldn't get them to you before Halloween. the first batch were left outside for a week in the harsh enviroment like smoke and ash and had to be done again but they turned out pretty good considering. thanks to Whistle8mp (Mike) for the advise on saving the damaged belts. his idea to use the Latex Stain was brilliant! these belts are better than ever and unlike the Rit and any other dye we're used to using, his method is by far the best. the colors were easier to match the movie stills and took out most of the guess work in trying to create the desired color. so thanks again Mike. I need a few days for these bad boys to dry fellas then they will be shipped out asap.
many thanks,
Anytime Ben, I'm just glad your going to have all happy customers and to see that you got out of a jam. Thanks for the kind words bro.
Great lookin ESB belts there Ben...
Thanks MF, got you down for a size 34" ESB mate. I'm just waiting on the black nylon strapping to start shipping these. PP $63 to firstname.lastname@example.com
thanks again.
I have included the black nylon straps (2) but did not attach them. people have there own ideas on how they should be attached but I did put holes in them so you won't have to. the last belts I did last weekend, I used a different method than the "Acid" dye. these belts were left out in the smoke and ash for a week during the fires here in San Diego and had to be redone. the weather here has been overcast,damp and moist for the past week although we did have some sun the past couple of days but I was'nt about to leave the belts outside while were at work all day. the ESB belts are around 98% dry. when you get them, put them in the sun for a few hours and they will be good to go. below is the only photo I know of that kinda shows you how to attach the straps. if you have better ideas, please share them with us.
Many thanks again guys,

So your almost ready for a new run then?
I've been waiting for that to happen
Sorry you will not be doing another run for a while Ben, but totally understandable. Well, these turned out great. Think I will try the paint method on mine - that seems to work pretty well.
BTW - the strap attachment pic is not showing up for me.
Any Update here ???
belts have been mailed out. thank you guys.
Ops, my mistake, sorry, I must be blind ...
Thanks again .
Got my belt today. I figured these were gonna be good judging by the pics, but now that I have one in my hands, IMO it confirms what I posted earlier. I gotta say, that in all my years at TDH, this is definately the best girth belt I have ever seen offered for an ESB suit!!!! He nailed it!!!! Thanx Bounty!!
I have got it today
It is such a great item you have done !!!!!!!
It will look terrific on my boba suit.
thanks a lot
Is everything ok now? ( because of the fire and all that...)
Best regards
Hi bountyone:
ESB belt is here. Just what I wanted. Thank you!
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Got my belt this week.
Gotta say, I'm very happy and impressed with the quality.
Hope everything is good with you and your family now.
Thanks again dude.

My husband was in the Navy for approximately 5 years and 11 months and was part of the Gulf War. He has since then developed psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis at a rapid pace. We are trying to file a claim with the VA but understand that it is hard to prove medical conditions happened while in the military, well psoriasis. We have traced back his family line and found no one that has either of these conditions. We have researched the disease and found that it could be triggered by exposure to multiple different things. My question is, does anyone have experience with this? The condition has not been clearly researched and no one really knows what causes it. Has anyone developed this condition after being in the military?
Thanks for your help.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/2/2014 (1237 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brandon Wheat Kings can score goals as well as just about any team in the Western Hockey League.
They just go about it a little differently than most.
Heading into Tuesday's slate of games, the Wheat Kings were fourth in the WHL with 199 goals in 52 contests, an average of 3.8 a night. Remarkably, the Wheat Kings have done that without having a player among the league's top 50 scorers, with team leader Jayce Hawryluk tied for 51st with 46 points, including 15 goals, in 46 games. The only other teams with no one in the top 50 are the Lethbridge Hurricanes, who are second-last in the WHL in scoring this season, and the Tri-City Americans, who have outscored only two teams.
Brandon's secret is spreading the wealth. While the team doesn't have a go-to gunner like the Spokane Chiefs, who have 20 fewer goals despite boasting the WHL's top sniper in Mitch Holmberg (47 goals, 92 points), an impressive seven Wheat Kings have hit the 40-point barrier this season, tying the Edmonton Oil Kings for the most of any team in the league.
While that includes Ryan Pulock, who leads one of the league's more dangerous blue-line corps with 44 points, the Wheat Kings have six forwards with 40-something points, meaning when fully healthy they can trot out strong first and second lines in addition to having rookies like Tyler Coulter and Jesse Gabrielle who have displayed the ability to produce when playing in the top six.
Now all that scoring is no guarantee of success when it comes to the tight checking of the playoffs, particularly for a team in the bottom third of the WHL in goals against. It's probably enough, though, to put the Wheat Kings low on most teams' lists of opponents they'd like to face with their seasons on the line.
GOALIE-SCORER: On Saturday, Calgary Hitmen goalie Chris Driedger became the first WHLer since Jordan McLaughlin of the Prince George Cougars in 2003 to be credited with a goal. Driedger was the last Calgary player to touch the puck before Kootenay's Zach Franko sent an errant pass into his own net while the Ice had their goalie pulled for a delayed penalty in Cranbrook, B.C.
"I talked to (Franko) after the game and he couldn't believe it," Driedger told Jefferson Hagen of the Calgary Herald. "He said 'the D-man moved out of the way and the next thing I know, I'm giving you goals, Driedgs.' I was laughing."
Driedger is the sixth WHL goalie to score, joining McLaughlin, Olaf Kolzig (Tri-City, 1989), Chris Osgood (Medicine Hat, 1991), Jeff Calvert (Tacoma, 1992) and Jason Clague (Red Deer, 1994).
Clague's son, Wheat Kings prospect Kale Clague, responded to a list of the scorers posted by Twitter user @WHLFacts by tweeting "only difference is Clague's was a game winner. In the playoffs."
AROUND THE WHL: Wheat Kings RW Peter Quenneville is on an eight-game point-scoring streak (five goals, eight assists), the team's longest of the season. LW Rihards Bukarts, meanwhile, has points in six straight games (six goals, two assists) … Portland is on a 10-game winning streak, the third-longest in the WHL this season behind their own 11-gamer and a 16-game streak by the Kelowna Rockets. The Winterhawks have points in 12 straight, trailing only the Rockets' 16-game streak … Prince George LW Todd Fiddler is the WHL player of the month for January, having posted 16 goals and 29 points in 14 games. The goalie of the month was Tri-City's Eric Comrie, who went 8-2-0-1 with a 1.35 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage … Kelowna RW Myles Bell was last week's WHL player of the week, notching six goals and nine points in three games … Brendan Burke of Portland was the Canadian Hockey League goalie of the week, earning shutouts in both of his games.
Western Hockey League teams with the most 40-point scorers going into Tuesday's games:
GP GF No.
Brandon 52 199 7
Edmonton 51 213 7
Portland 53 239 6
Swift Current 53 178 6
Kelowna 52 227 5
Kootenay 52 165 5

Adding Return Vent - what kind of boot/box?
Hi all -
I'm planning on adding a return vent in my media room to help vent the warm air from a newly installed ceiling-mounted projector. My system currently has two return vents (a 30x24 and a 12x12), and I figured adding another 12x12 return (or 18x12) won't adversely affect things. At least I keep reading that it's very difficult to oversize returns.
I've been doing research online and at Lowe's/HD to see exactly what I'll need to get, and the part I'm still unclear on is the boot or box (or whatever it's called), where the flexible duct terminates right behind the grille. Is there a name for this? Is it the same as a register box/boot? Or is it something different? All I could find were register boxes at Lowe's/HD, and nothing called a return box.
Is this something I'll have to order online?
end boot ..... angle boot.... universal boot.....:) sounds like you need something custom made....
Aha, an end boot! Makes sense. Why do you think I might need something custom made? At least to me, it doesn't sound like I'm doing anything unusual.
I also still think it's strange Lowe's/HD don't carry these things. Or are register boots the same as the end boots?

Almost to 120,000 in my 03 WRX. It was stage II when I got it (cobb AP, 3" Turboback). Bout due for a clutch but running strong.

Update guys. 307,000 miles now and running strong. The 05 trans I put in feels great! About to put a new AC compressor on since mine locked up last fall and put in a new thermostat. But the car is solid. Very few squeaks or rattles and still pulls hard. Should be good for another 100K!

I just joined this forum. I'm driving a 02 wrb bugeye nearing 190K, stage2 with cobb ap base map, erz uppipe and downpipe, magnaflow catback, lightweight crank pulley, cobb sf intake and shield, upgraded intercooler hoses and after maf hose. I do have a question, would I benefit from getting my car tuned(protuned) since it has so many miles on? Or should I save my money for a future trade. I do love my ride, she's running strong day after day. Thanks for any input and replies.

I expect to hit 200k early next year as I am going to start driving across country a lot again. Driving from Connecticut to Los Angeles in 2 weeks. Going to see if I can make it in 3 days. Made it in 2 1/2 last time, but I stopped in Texas to see some friends for a few days in the middle.

As to the poll: On the list, I voted for the GT2; what an amazing car! Otherwise, a cost unlimited, but somewhat usable car (as opposed to an Enzo or a 29 Duesenburg SJ, which I could sell and buy at least 50 WRXs!) would be something along the lines of a Ferarri SWB or Porsche 550 or Spedster ('50s, not the later ugly thing)

Many Christians wonder how anyone could doubt the existence of God, but it turns out it's right in the bible. If you read between the lines, it tells you there's no God
1) The bible claims that God sacrificed Jesus for our sins. (John 3:16, Romans 3:25, Ephesians 5:2, Hebrews 9:26) (This is ignoring Deuteronomy 24:16 and Ezekiel 18:20, which state that everyone is to be responsible for their own transgressions without anyone else dying for their sins, thus undermining the primary basis of Christianity.)
2) Since Jesus is God (2 Peter 1:1, John 10:30-33, and other verses), premise 1 means that God sacrificed himself.
3) A sacrifice involves the destruction of the entire being, including the spirit. This seems intuitively obvious especially for a self-sacrifice, since it's not much of a sacrifice if the martyr is guaranteed an eternity in heaven.

Thai temple offers Buddhist funerals for pets

BANGKOK (Reuters Life!) - An orange-robed monk chanted as a teary-eyed, black-clad family prayed quietly in front of a crematorium. A normal Buddhist funeral service in Thailand except for one thing -- the deceased was canine.
Bereaved pet lovers in Bangkok come to Klong Toey Nai temple by the Chao Phraya river to mark the passing of their animal friends with full funeral rites which begin with short prayers by monks, a two-hour cremation, and a trip down the river to spread the ashes.
"She is part of our family. In life, we took her to a grooming salon and a swimming pool. In death, we want to give her the best too," said Jiraporn Wongwanna, 35, who just lost her 14-year-old terrier-poodle mix, Bai Toey, to liver failure.
In a crowded capital of 15 million people with few owning enough land for burial, many people are opting for cremation for their departed pets, said Sampao Yampradit, a 79-year-old animal lover and undertaker who has performed the service for pets for more than 7 years.
The temple started to cremate stray dogs and cats nearly a decade ago, before they began offering funeral services for pets. Now they perform five to 15 funerals a day.
While most are dogs and cats, the pets have included turtles, fish, rabbits and monkeys.
"It's a Buddhist belief that cremation sends you forward into the next life while a burial might not do that," Sampao said, dropping chips of fragrant wood and flowers into the incinerator.
Jiraporn, her father, and two cousins attended the ceremony, watching Bai Toey's furry body gently pushed into the pyre. Continued...

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, dogged for the third day by charges that he is homophobic, tried with his brother to shift the focus back to his fiscal record, claiming to have "spendaphobia."
The term, floated first by the mayor's brother and campaign manager, Councillor Doug Ford, on Friday morning, was repeated about an hour later by the mayor.
"I got spendaphobia. I got spendaphobia," the mayor said after a ceremony at Nathan Phillips Square to mark the one-year countdown to the start of the Pan Am Games.
"Let's talk about how much money I've saved the taxpayers and I got subways built. And I contracted out garbage. You don't want to talk about that, do you?" the mayor said when asked why he did not stand up with other councillors earlier this week in recognition of the organizers of the WorldPride event.
"People are concerned about their pocket books and the taxes I've saved," he said.
Mr. Ford took the unusual step of wearing his chain of office, usually reserved for formal occasions such as Remembrance Day, to two events on Friday. He also posed for pictures in the square after his Pan Am address while about a dozen City Hall security officers and members of his staff looked on.
As well as staying in his seat during the WorldPride ovation, Mr. Ford provoked charges of homophobia this week after he cast the only vote against a study into a possible shelter for LGBT youth.
The mayor said he is not homophobic.
On Friday morning, Councillor Ford was asked to explain the reasons for his brother's actions.
"Rob's a spendaphobic, not a homophobic," he told reporters, explaining that he was opposed to spending money on a separate shelter for LGBT youth as well as staff training.
"There are so many groups that need special attention out there. We can't fund every group or we wouldn't have any money left," the Etobicoke councillor said.
When it was pointed out that standing up during the ovation would not have cost money, Doug Ford said the mayor was acting on principle.
"He'd be criticized for not being principled and either way if you stand, you don't stand," he said.
He later elaborated: "Rob Ford has decided not to go to the gay Pride Parade and all of a sudden he's going to get up and he's going to be applauding the Pride Parade. You can't speak out of both sides of your mouth. If you aren't going to go to the gay Pride Parade, … I think it's a little bit of hypocrisy if you decide to stand up, that's my opinion," he said.
Councillor Shelley Carroll had a different take, noting that the shelter item council voted for this week was only directing staff to do a study. The mayor is "read-the-report-o-phobic," she said.
The city's controversial leader, who returned from a two-month stay in rehab the day after WorldPride ended, delivered his Pan Am remarks from the main stage at Nathan Phillips Square. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne addressed the crowd from the other corner of the square. A spokeswoman for the TO2015 organizers would not say who decided that the Premier would speak at the other location near the new countdown clock.Report Typo/Error

To keep all this in one thread instead of spamming the mentor forum I am just going to update this thread so to keep it all in one place:
Critique my mug handles : Jump to post: http://community.cer...2-mugs/?p=70661
Original Post
Critique my Bowl
I am not sure if this is the right place to put this post or not. Here we go.
I have been potting for about 6 months now. I am basically self taught. I watch a lot of videos and took four 3 hour classes. Most of my training comes from throwing 4-5 hours a day in my garage. I am a stay at home dad battling Chronic GVHD so I have plenty of time to practice.
I want to send a bowl to someone or a few people who are interested in a bowl of my next firing, and then I would like for you to break it open or do what ever you want with it to tell me what I need to improve on. I have been working on throwing a good bowl, smooth bottom, nice walls, and good feet for a while and I am wondering if I am making any progress. If you like the bowl you can keep it, blow it up or trash it I don't care. I just want to know your quick thoughts on my work. Do what ever you have to do to examine it.
Is this a viable thing to ask of someone? I don't want to put anyone off, but I just don't know anyone who I can take the bowl to and get an honest opinion about how bad or good it is, and what I need to improve on.
If your interested in helping me please PM me or reply here.
I would truly appreciate it. I want to become a great potter one day!

|MC auto tech students gain hands-on training at the ATC's automotive technology lab
|Jack L. Sherman
For 18 years (1985-2003), Sherman owned Jack Sherman Chevrolet in Midland and served in various civic organizations. After his retirement, Sherman moved to Michigan; however, Midlanders still fondly remember Jack's charismatic personality and his pride in Midland.
MC and MISD students are still reaping the benefits of his sage advice for renovating the old Sears Building located at 3200 W. Cuthbert in Midland into the state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Center. Sherman was also instrumental in helping to secure funds and equipment for the ATC's automotive technology lab.
Rebecca Bell, former director of the ATC, recalled, "On several occasions during the ATC's first few years of operation, Jack would stop by to visit with students and offer practical tips for skills preparation. Current and future MC and MISD students will continue to be able to acquire hands-on training at the ATC because of Jack's generosity and advocacy."

Need more of these. FINALLY something to keep ribbon for Scrapbooking organized. Will be getting more for myself & as gifts for scrapbook buddies
|by SnowflakeQueen
|Date Added: Monday 17 December, 2012
This set works great for putting yarn on on the bar and letting it unroll as you pull on it. It keeps the Skein from getting messy as you use it for crocheting or knitting. Although you can only use each bar container for one skein at a time. But i plan to get more of them so i can stack them and pull from each color as i need to. and the smaller container i use for imy hooks and needles or snow flakes that i finish.

I bought one of these items to try for ribbon storage and absolutely love it. I have purchased two additional sets with the plans to order at least 1-2 more. It is a great way to see what ribbons you have when planning any type of crafting without digging through other type of storage containers I have tried in the past. Also, the convenience of snapping and inter changing is a super feature. I have 3 of the ribbon dispenser sets along with an additional 3 layer set.

- State of the Registered Nurse Workforce in the United States
Published in the March 2006 issue of Nursing Economic$, this comprehensive analysis of several national surveys of the nursing workforce found that majority of nurses reported that the RN shortage is negatively impacting patient care and undermining the quality of care goals set by the Institute of Medicine and the National Quality Forum. Though many nurses have reported an easing of the nursing shortage over the past few years, the shortage is expected to grow to eight times the current size by the year 2020.
- Act Now for Your Tomorrow
In May 2005, the National Commission on Nursing Workforce for Long-Term Care released this report which found that there are nearly 100,000 vacant nursing positions in long-term care facilities on any given day, and the nurse turnover rate exceeds 50%. The shortage is costing long-term care facilities an estimated $4 billion a year in recruitment and training expenses.
- New Signs of a Strengthening U.S. Nurse Labor Market?
According to a report published in November 2004 as a Web exclusive for Health Affairs, Dr. Peter Buerhaus and colleagues found that "despite the increase in employment of nearly 185,000 hospital RNs since 2001, there is no empirical evidence that the nursing shortage has ended. To the contrary, national surveys of RNs and physicians conducted in 2004 found that a clear majority of RNs (82%) and doctors (81%) perceived shortages where they worked."
- Is the Current Shortage of Hospital Nurses Ending?
In the November/December 2003 issue of Health Affairs, Dr. Peter Buerhaus from Vanderbilt University and his colleagues found that over 100,000 new RNs were hired in 2002; the majority of which were foreign-born nurses and nurses over age 50 returning to the workforce in tough economic times. Though the new hires and a sharp increase in RN salaries are having a positive effect on the current workforce supply, Dr. Buerhaus cautions that the current nursing shortage is far from over and called for immediate federal attention to address the growing crisis, including setting national goals for annual nursing school enrollment increases.
- Health Care at the Crossroads: Strategies for Addressing the Evolving Nursing Crisis
Released in August 2002 by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, this report illustrates how the growing shortage of nurses in America's hospitals is putting patient lives in danger. The solutions proposed by a special Joint Commission Expert Roundtable focus on transforming the nursing workplace; creating a clinical foundation for nursing educational preparation and advancement; and providing financial incentives for health care organizations to invest in high quality nursing care.
- Health Care's Human Crisis: The American Nursing Shortage
This report, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, offers recommendations for turning around the critical nursing shortage. Findings from the study, released in May 2002, also illustrate why the current situation is fundamentally different from nursing shortages in the past.
- Better Late Than Never: Workforce Supply Implications of Late Entry into Nursing
In the January/February 2007 issue of Health Affairs, Dr. David I. Auerbach and colleagues estimated that the U.S. shortage of registered nurses (RNs) will increase to 340,000 by the year 2020. Though this is significantly less than earlier projections for a shortfall of 800,000 RNs which was made back in 2000, the study authors note that the nursing shortage is still expected to increase by three times the current rate over the next 13 years.
- Projected Supply, Demand, and Shortages of Registered Nurses: 2000-2020
Released in July 2002, this HRSA report found that the nursing shortage will deepen because increasing numbers of nurses are retiring while too few are entering the profession. Though 30 states experienced nursing shortages in 2000, the report indicates that the crisis will intensify with 44 states plus the District of Columbia expected to have RN shortages by the year 2020.
- Nursing's Agenda for the Future
Released in April 2002, Nursing's Agenda for the Future is a strategic action plan developed by more than 60 national nursing organizations united around a shared vision for the future of the profession. Strategies featured in the plan address the complex, interrelated factors that have created a growing shortage of nurses.
- Health Care Metrics Survey
In January 2004, the Bernard Hodes Group released the results of a recent poll of 151 health care recruiters to determine turnover rates, cost-per-hire and vacancy rates for a range of health care professionals, including registered nurses. The survey found that the average RN turnover rate was 15.5%, the vacancy rate was 13.9% and the average RN cost-per-hire was $2,651, which is approximately 11% higher than the average cost for recruiting allied health workers.

Minnesota's wetland law should go, agency suggests
Doug Smith, Star Tribune
September 25, 2004 DOUG0925
A proposal to repeal Minnesota's Wetland Conservation Act -- one of the most sweeping wetland protection laws in the nation -- underscores the depths of continued budget cuts on state agencies.
A Board of Water and Soil Resources committee recently suggested the dramatic action as an option, saying the agency simply can't absorb any more budget reductions without repealing core programs.
"We've cut and we've cut," said Jerome Deal, chairman of the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), an agency charged with protecting and enhancing the state's soil and water resources. It works closely with soil and water conservation districts, watershed districts, metropolitan watersheds and county water management organizations.
The small agency already has cut 21 percent from its budget the past three years, and Gov. Tim Pawlenty's administration has asked the agency to prepare for another 7.5 to 15 percent cut.
But Pawlenty told BWSR officials Wednesday that he won't allow the wetland law to be repealed. "He sent a clear message that's not on the table," Deal said Thursday at an agency meeting in St. Paul.
"That speaks to the governor's continued commitment to wetlands as a resource," said Doug Thomas, assistant director of the board.
It also leaves the board between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
"We're in a difficult position," Deal said.
"This is ridiculous," said board member Lisa Thorvig of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, one of five state agencies represented on the 17-member board.
"I don't think BWSR should take any more budget cuts. I think you need more money, not less money."
She said without wetlands to sustain water quality, the state will be facing more problems. The agency budgets about $3 million to administer the Wetland Conservation Act.
The 1992 law reduces and mitigates wetland drainage, which benefits wildlife and water quality. Conservation and environmental groups have long supported the law as integral to preventing the continued drainage of the state's wetlands.
"It's the backbone of wetland conservation in Minnesota," said Gary Botzek of the Minnesota Conservation Federation. "Sportsmen's groups have worked hard for it. Ducks and wetlands go hand in glove. Without it, we'd become a dry Omaha."
Jan Goldman-Carter, environmental lawyer and Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy board member, attended Thursday's meeting, as did Botzek, after hearing about the proposal to kill the wetlands act.
"BWSR already has been cut to the bone," she said. "If you cut further, it's dysfunctional. They can't oversee wetland conservation without adequate funding."
Deal said the suggestion to repeal the wetlands law wasn't offered for shock effect. The committee said such drastic action would save $3 million yearly but result in a loss of wetlands. It also suggested that, as an alternative, the state assume some federal wetland protection responsibilities now handled by the U.S. Corps of Engineers.
Those, combined with existing Department of Natural Resources programs, would provide a "safety net" of wetland regulation. But there would be "significant gaps" without the wetland act, the committee said.
Deal said the state already is missing conservation opportunities because the board doesn't have enough staff members to provide technical assistance to landowners interested in signing up for conservation programs.
State agencies are wrestling with funding issues now as the Pawlenty administration prepares its budget, which will be presented to the Legislature in January.
The state faces a $441 million deficit projected for 2006-07, or about $1 billion counting inflation.
Doug Smith is at email@example.com.
This royally bites! Cut cut cut that is all I heard for the last several years about the various agencies pertaining to wildlife and environment. Enough cuts! We should be ADDING revenue to their budgets to help protect what is left of the wetlands.

Ferhan Patel
Ferhan Patel is a FinTech Executive based in Montreal. With nearly 15 years of experience in the world of tech-based payment solutions, Ferhan has simultaneously established himself as highly specialized and well-rounded within the field. Currently, Ferhan applies his unique blend of talents and experiences to other companies in various stages of development through his work as a consultant.
Taking a cursory glance at the career that Ferhan Patel has built for himself, it would be easy to classify him as a shrewd businessman with an entrepreneurial spirit and a profound understanding of both strategy and operations. As the former Chief Compliance Officer and Director of Risk and Compliance at Payza, Ferhan scrutinized every aspect of the product and company in relation to compliance standards. However, Ferhan also has a wealth of experience and talent with regard to marketing and product design.
For over ten years, Ferhan Patel has demonstrated a substantial, in-depth knowledge of risk management best practices and financial technology. He is capable of developing strategic tactics for rolling out new product designs and implementing marketing campaigns. With his specialty being the payable solutions industry, Ferhan has an unrivaled set of skills that are pertinent to his life and business.
Prior to his tenure at Payza, Ferhan served as the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at AlertPay. There Ferhan relied heavily on his deft ability to problem solve across verticals and departments.
Ferhan's experience as the COO of a start-up proved to be a fertile environment for him to put his problem solving skills to the test. However, long-before AlertPay, Ferhan was primed to have a passion for technology, creating viable solutions and a penchant for entrepreneurship. Ferhan attributes these interests and talents to both his home life and academic interest areas.
Growing up in a suburb of Montreal, Ferhan was exposed to the hard work required of an entrepreneur. Additionally, Ferhan received encouragement both at school and at home to pursue his ever-growing interest in computer science and technology.
Once Ferhan Patel graduated from Centennial Regional High School, his childhood fascination with computers dictated the course of his undergraduate career. During his time at the prestigious Concordia University, Ferhan acted as a teaching assistant and lab instructor while studying computer science. He also assisted on graduate level courses on Linux, C programming and Oracle among others.
In 2003, Ferhan earned a Bachelor of Computer Science and Information Systems Degree from Concordia University. Concordia University, a Christian liberal arts college, was established in 1905. Steering the helm from Portland, Oregon, Concordia has made itself known for transforming the world through its students, encouraging potential students to attend from all backgrounds, faiths, and walks of life. The three driving principles behind the university are as follows: Rigor, servant leadership, and the Lutheran faith.
He then began his career as a business systems analyst marrying his dual passions for problem solving and computer science. For the next four years, Ferhan would develop a slew of skills built out of these two interests, but by 2004, he was ready for a change.
Through a lot of sweat, hard-work and a solution-based approach, Ferhan Patel co-founded what would eventually become the award-winning payment platform startup, "AlertPay". Although the company started small (with just 6 employees), over the next 8 years this number would grow to 150 with a membership base of 7.5 million internationally. Ferhan's focus remained as a product manager for the internal system used to monitor for fraud, as well as providing complete oversight of the operational health of the company. In 2012, AlertPay underwent restructuring and Ferhan transitioned first to the role of EVP for Corporate and Product Marketing and then transitioned to the role of Chief Compliance Officer at Payza.
Ferhan Patel has enjoyed the dynamic nature of his work and career. He thrives under the constant challenges presented by his clients and past jobs, and believes that his natural inclination for problem-solving has been the key element of his success as an entrepreneur. Furthermore, Ferhan's perennial thirst for knowledge has led him to pursuing four designations. In 2013, Ferhan became a Certified Financial Crime Specialist, an Anti-Money Laundering Certified Associate, a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist, and a Certified Fraud Examiner.

WoW World of Warcraft Subscribe
World of Warcraft will require you to pay a monthly fee; this cost is to pay for servers and staff which costs Blizzard a lot of money. There will be many ways to subscribe to World of Warcraft, mainly through different credit cards.
How large the fee will be has not yet been revealed but it is estimated that the subscription fee will be somewhere between 10-20 USD per month. There will most probably be discounts if you choose to pay for example a full year instead of per month.

I am profoundly saddened to hear of the passing of my long time friend. I remember John from the first days of Fenestration magazine, when he was the heart and soul of that magazine. When he left, we went with him with our advertising support, knowing full well that no one could follow in his footsteps.
More than a journalist, John was the heart and soul of our industry. He was the consummate documentarian... asking questions, probing the answers, always looking and definitely always listening. I often commented to him that he had a gift rare among journalists: the ability to listen without agenda, and accurately communicate what he saw and heard.
They say you die twice, once when you stop breathing, and again when someone says your name for the last time. I like this philosophy, for it means that John will still be with us for many, many, many years.
God bless you, Lee, Ellen, Harry, Anne, Joy and Gail. We all loved and admired John, something rarely seen and even more rarely acknowledged in business today. You can all be as proud of John's professional respect, which runs as deep as your personal loss.
We are sadden by the news of John's passing. Being a newcomer to the fenestration industry with a new product is hard enough. We felt fortunate John spotted us a couple of years ago when we introduced EnsoGlass and his kind, supportive words of encouragement. Although only having met John a couple of times, we felt his passion for the industry and those trying to introduce new things. We still light up every time we walk by our Crystal Achievement Award that was only made possible by the difference John made to us.
With Respect and Admiration,
Jesse Villarreal, Jr. Bella Fleur Corporation
My condolences to the Swanson Family. John gave companies like Window - Fix a voice and connected us to the industry on a national scale. He will be missed.
I had the privilege of knowing John for 20+ years. I, as well as the industry, will miss his insight.
I am truly saddened by the loss of John. He always carried himself in a professional manner and he single handedly shaped the image of our industry.
He was always very supportive of VEKA and myself to help contribute to our growth by sharing with the industry the news of the day.
On behalf of the entire VEKA family, we offer our sincere condolences to John's family, peers and friends. May peace be with all of you.
With Respect
Steve Dillon
VEKA inc.
We will miss you John. Condolences to your immediate family, and to your Fenestration family in general. You will be greatly missed, but what your legacy in the window and door industry will live on and you will always be remembered.
Sherif ElDibani
OpenJanela Software.
John was a great and kind person. He will be missed by me and I am sure everyone else that had the good fortune to know him.
I first met John when Fenestration World was the show for our industry in 198?. He was a big part of making sure the show was a success. Fenestration Magazine was his baby, and he nursed it into the top trade magazine in our industry. He was always a pleasure to talk to, and was always so humble even though he probably knew more than anyone about the inner workings and layers of our extremely complex industry. His integrity was unmatched and if you told him something "confidentially," it stayed that way. John will be missed by all of us that grew to like, trust and depend on him.
Chuck Gilderman
Having known John for over 25 years, I can honestly say that he not only has been a wonderful business associate of mine, but even more so, someone I truly count on as one of my better friends in this industry. John's knowledge of the industry, and relationships he has built was something that all of us truly admired & aspired to. John's insightful way of sharing a story with his audience was done in a manner that showed not only his professionalism, but also his passion for this industry. To me, John's legacy will be that of quiet, caring, and professional leader who, through his gifts, helped keep an industry informed and engaged.
Matt Kottke, Truth Hardware
Twelve years ago, as a relative youngster in the fenestration industry, John was one of the key people who influenced my growth in the industry. At the time, I was the new marketing coordinator with a changing and growing distribution & manufacturing hardware company. John took the time to help me understand the best ways to promote and brand the company through the NGA and Window & Door magazine, and became a trusted confidant, mentor and friend. In 2008, when the industry was feeling the worst of the economic pain, and my position was eliminated, John encouraged me to stay in the industry and was a source of great encouragement as I figured out where my path would lead. I got emails from John letting me know of openings in the industry and he always kept in touch, even when he knew that I wasn't contributing to his bottom line. When I decided to start my Mfrs. Rep. agency, John was among the first calls I made to get his advice. John's encouragement, mentoring, openness, kindness, inquisitiveness, patience and gentle nature make his early departure especially sad for this industry friend, and so many others for whom he provided the same kindnesses and courtesies. I thank him for his support and belief in me, and share in the grief his family and friends must now bear.
With highest regard for a truly honorable man,
Amber Grayson, Grayson Group Sales & Marketing LLC

Samsung's New Galaxy Note: Top That Phablet, AppleBy
While the competition between Samsung Electronics and Apple on smartphones has been fierce, Samsung has had one corner of the mobile market to itself: the phablet. On Wednesday the company took advantage of its last chance to show off its latest 5.7-inch Galaxy Note before its supersize phones face direct competition from Apple, which is expected to introduce several iPhones with larger screens on Tuesday.
The Galaxy Note 4, which Samsung unveiled at the IFA trade show in Berlin and in coordinated events in New York and Beijing, comes in two versions. The standard Note 4 is an upgraded version of the Note's most recent model, with upgrades to the camera, screen, battery, and stylus.
A separate version, the Note Edge, has a very Samsungian twist: A narrow, curved screen runs lengthwise along one side of the phone. This screen can be used to receive notifications without interrupting a video on the main screen, and it turns into an alarm clock display when the phone's screen is turned off. Samsung also released a specialized software kit so developers can tailor apps to the side screen.
Samsung says its Note 4 will be available in October and the Edge will go on sale in select markets later this year. It didn't immediately release information on pricing.
Samsung has a lot riding on this one. Like Apple's, its tablet business has slowed. Unlike at Apple, executives have increasing concern about the health of its smartphone business, whose sales have been slowing and profit declining. Previous iterations of the Note have been popular: Samsung sold 5 million units in a month after it released the Galaxy Note 3 last year. But even if the new Notes are even more popular, they won't quite solve Samsung's smartphone problems, which reflect pressure from Chinese manufacturers selling phones for less.
Instead, the Note's main competition will be Apple's new supersize iPhones. Samsung took several tacit swipes at Apple throughout the event, repeatedly mentioning that it was the first smartphone maker to go big-screen and noting that skeptics and cynics mocked it relentlessly for its phablets. It even said that it holds more patents than any other smartphone manufacturer. Its invited guests at the New York event, two members of the rock band Maroon 5, enthusiastically said they'd be holding an iPhone-burning party immediately following the event. Samsung executives onstage didn't say they'd join in, but they didn't look unhappy about the idea, either.

Phil Grant: Gretsch's Greatest Percussion Innovator, Drum Salesman, and Ambassador.
Phil Grant was the "complete package" during his 26-year career with Gretsch that spanned from 1946 to 1972. A superb percussionist, Phil is considered by many as the Gretsch Company's finest drum salesman, inventor, innovator, drum ambassador, and company friend to countless musicians. Grant literally redefined the Artist Relations role within the music industry and led Gretsch drums through a "Golden Era" in the late 1940's through the 1960's.
Master Percussionist and Brilliant Drummer Born Philip Osborne Grant in 1914 to naturally gifted musical parents, Phil attended Penn State and graduated in 1935 with a degree in music education. Upon hearing him play, the Juilliard Conservatory offered Phil a postgraduate scholarship to study the timpani. Grant was a master percussionist and could play any part on any percussion instrument (including the mechanical wind machine he played during performances of "The Flying Dutchman Overture.") Phil played for the Pittsburgh Symphony during the winter season and for the Goldman Band in New York during the summer. He was such an accomplished musician that he made it a personal policy to never audition for a job. (more…)

Re: That can't be good..... right?
Med- I'd drill a small hole in the bottom of the keel directly under the hinge to see if more water comes out. If it does then there must be a void in that area. You might be able to figure it out by tapping with a small hammer to determine the size and then drill holes and fill with epoxy, at least that's what I've done on rudders that had water in them. Good luck, wet day to be working under the boat.
Re: That can't be good..... right?

Re: That can't be good..... right?
I had an issue with a boat that had a crack near the front of the keel. every time it was pulled and set on stands water would come from that spot. Turns out the keel had water in it around the ballast.. There was a hole inside the boat down in the keel area behind the ballast. The damage from the outside had let water in and the hole inside was small and so low in the bilge it went unnoticed. Well It had to be drained and patched. Water leaked out for months till I used a Shop -vac and sucked out a bunch. Epoxy wont set up when water is present unless it was made to be used in water. . My question to you would be why wasnt the zinc screwed directly to the hinge ?
Re: That can't be good..... right?
Skywalker, nail on head, has hit. Force not enough to intrusion find. Drill and fill, one must.
Re: That can't be good..... right?
I agree with Paul. Over drill to get some more information.
I would over drill the size anyway so I could fill it with thickened epoxy and make a new hole. It will be stronger and water tight.
Good luck.
Re: That can't be good..... right?
I'm not familiar with the innards of your boat, but many boats with an encapsulated keel also have a "false keel" - this is a void typically behind the lead. Clearly it needs to be filled with something, but filling it with solid epoxy is expensive, so boatyards have been known to fill it with all sorts of low-density high-volume fillers.
Personally I would see if the water continues to drain out. If not, drill an oversize hole, fill with thickened epoxy; then re-drill to the correct size, and don't worry about it.
If water continues to leak out, you may need to remove some of the glass around the hole to expose the saturated area. This happened with me; the fiberglass "skin" had actually "rotted", and a 3'x3' area had to be removed to expose the core and allow it to dry out, then refill and refinish. If you are on the hard, this is not so intimidating as it appears, as fiberglass is a lot easier in many ways to work with than wood, in that the new epoxy chemically bonds to the old, leaving the repair as strong as the original (I hope).
It'll be interesting to see what others think....
That can't be good..... right?
Today I was in the yard, trying to re-arrange the overly-exotic zinc arrangement I have for all my bronze rudder hinges. The lowest hinge on the hull has a zinc that is drilled into the hull with a wire that goes to the hinge. Today I pulled out the 1/4" stainless fasteners that went through the hull at the bottom of the full keel and some water came out.
That can't be good.....
For reference, we're talking about a full keel boat, where the bottom portion is supposed to be solid, thick glass, with lead (and metal stuff) encapsulated into the keel. The bit that these bolts came out of is supposed to be solid glass and lead, yet a few tsb of water came out when the fasteners came out.
Is it possible that this was just the water trapped along the length of the bolt itself? Or.... by drilling through the gelcoat on the outside, did the previous owner expose non-waterproof fiberglass to water that has now soaked it up? (please excuse my lack of fiberglass knowledge, I'm a recovering wooden boat owner).
