Reader supports current Cannon Township Board
Dear Editor,
I noticed that a group is running against the Cannon Township Board. I looked into why they are running and found that one of them has never attended a board meeting. The person running for supervisor had only been to one before he filed his petition, and that was to introduce himself to the board when he ran for state representative in 2010. The slate also touts their integrity, which is interesting because Mr. Nelson, who is running for trustee, implies that he was endorsed by the Grand Rapids Press in 2010, when he too ran for state representative. The Press endorsed Pete MacGregor—not Mr. Nelson. This is misleading at best, like Mr. Carozza's lengthy list of endorsements. He doesn't disclose that only a few of them live in Cannon. That's integrity?

Readers appreciate school, arts coverage
To the Editor,
We want to extend a heartfelt thank-you for your continuing support of school and arts coverage in your paper. For many students in the Rockford Public Schools, music, drama and the visual arts are the primary means of expression, and we are glad that their accomplishments are recognized as just as vital and worthwhile as their on-field classmates' successes.
Specifically, we want to thank Cliff and Nancy Hill, who went above and beyond covering the Rockford High School Women's Chorus performance at the Michigan Music Conference, and Cindy Cranmer, who stayed for hours with her son at the Rockford Aces impromptu concert and get-together on July 9 to make sure she had the story of their trip to the World Choir Games.
Thank you again for your commitment to the arts and to reporting the successes of our students.
Mandy and Jed Scott

Notice to voters in Comstock Park, RPS district in Plainfield Township, Precincts 1, 2, 9 only
Dear Editor,
Effective January 1, 2012 school districts are required to hold their school board elections during the general election in November of even-numbered years.
There are currently four school districts in Plainfield Township: Comstock Park, Kenowa Hills, Northview, and Rockford Public Schools, with some of these school districts falling into multiple election precincts. For example, Precinct 2 currently has three different school districts within its boundaries, therefore during an election we must provide three different ballots in order to accommodate each school district in that precinct.
In our continued effort to cut costs and simplify the election process for both the voters and the Township election administrators, we have rearranged three of our 11 precincts in order to consolidate school districts into single precincts, with the exception of Kenowa Hills (where there are less than 20 registered voters). Those precincts affected by the consolidation will be Precincts 1, 2 and 9 only. See changes below:
PREVIOUS Precinct Arrangements:
Precinct 1—Plainfield Township Offices
• Comstock Park Schools
• Rockford Schools
Precinct 2—Plainfield Christian Church
• Comstock Park Schools
• Rockford Schools
• Kenowa Hills Schools
Precinct 9—Grace Fellowship Church
• Comstock Park Schools
• Rockford Schools
NEW Precinct Arrangements:
Precinct 1—Plainfield Township Offices
• Rockford Schools
Precinct 2—Plainfield Christian Church
• Comstock Park Schools
• Kenowa Hills
Precinct 9—Grace Fellowship Church
• Comstock Park Schools
This change will be effective as of March 1, 2012. This will remain your precinct location for ALL federal, state and local elections from this point forward.

SLIDESHOW: Sealth JV Squad falls to Ingraham 7-4 at the SWAC
by Greg McCorkle
The advent of spring brings many things. Birds sing their wonderful songs, the sky has a blue pale not seen for a while, plants and trees begin the process of blooming, and the crack of a baseball bat can be heard coming from diamonds all over the community. So was it on Friday at the SWAC when the Ingraham Rams JV baseball squad took the field against the Chief Sealth Seahawks Junior crew.
Ingraham jumped out early to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, tagging Sealth starter Flora for 2 earned runs. Sealth would cut the score to make it 2-1 with an RBI single off the bat of First baseman Stott. The lanky starter would settle down over the next several innings to keep his team in the game.
But Sealth couldn't quiet put Ingraham away and a four run seventh inning by the Rams was too much to quickly and the Seahawks lost at home 7-4.
That said the junior Hawks showed that they had a relaxed "let's have fun" attitude that allowed them to learn as they played, and enjoy and trust their teammates.
The JV squads at the high school level are about developing young players to move up to the varsity unit. One thing that didn't escape Sealth Coach Alex's attention was the four lefties he had on his squad and the possibility of one or more of them taking the field for Coach Policarpio next season. Left handed batters pose inurement amounts of problems for right handed pitchers. That makes putting the batting order together more fun when it comes to challenging opposing pitchers. But the players have to show development to advance to the top squad. Some of those steps were taken Friday afternoon and wins will come for the JV squad.

Actually, Ferrari spends around $450m-$500m on their F1 team. They also pull in the same amount in sponsorship, prize money, TV money, etc. Ferrari AFAIK operates their F1 team at a small profit.
BMW's target was to win the F1 championship this year. They're not even close to doing it, so they called it quits. BMW won't be pulling in the dollars like Ferrari, so they're probably operating at a loss of under $50m. Their board never mentioned the economy in the press conference, just poor performance, and realigning BMW's image towards "sustainability and environmental compatibility", whatever that means.
Honda's pullout last year was a mix of poor performance and $. Honda had no sponsors, so they were probably losing $250m-$300m a year!

Meet the Class OF 2015
Kristi HanleyFlower Mound, Texas
1. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Flower Mound, Texas,just north of Dallas.
2. Where did you attend undergrad?
I attended the University of Oklahoma.
3. What degree(s) have you earned?
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with minors in International Studies and European Studies.
4. Why did you choose to attend OU Law?
I chose to attend OU Law because of their unique joint JD/Master's of International and Area Studies program. I met with their representatives a few times at law school fairs and was so impressed with how knowledgeable and welcoming they were. After looking at many other schools, this proved to be the best fit for my interests.
5. What is your favorite thing about OU?
My favorite thing about OU is the sense of community and camaraderie that you get attending school with students that have so much school pride. While walking down the beach in New Jersey a few years ago, I heard "Boomer!" and knew that, as an OU alum, I was part of the Sooner family for life!
6. What (or who) inspired you to pursue a legal education?
During the summer of 2009, I took a class on the European Union. As part of that class we travelled to Brussels, Belgium, to visit the European Union headquarters and meet with various representatives to get an in-depth understanding of how the EU works as a global actor. It was so interesting and eye-opening that I knew at that point I wanted to learn as much as I could about law so that I could hopefully one day bring about as much change in the world as those EU representatives.
7. What is an interesting fact about you?
I was a Percussion Performance major for my first two years at the University of Oklahoma and was in the Pride of Oklahoma Drumline!

Written by By Morven Westfield
Published by Harvest Shadows Publications, 2003
336 pages
Alicia Anderson is a hardworking, underpaid, and often overlooked computer operator who works third shift at Theoretic. After a recent breakup during which her boyfriend tells her she's too emotionless, and despite her best friend Susie's attempts to get her out into the party scene, Alicia's private life is on the critical list. Not to mention the fact that she's just been passed over for a promotion at work for a job she's more than capable of doing. And that's just the beginning of her problems.
At the same time, Matricaria, a mystical and mysterious novice witch whom we only know by her magical name, is learning the ropes from her new coven when she begins to get disturbing visions and dreams that seem to be harbingers of a coming evil. While Matricaria and the other members of her coven struggle to interpret the meaning of the warnings, strange things begin to happen at Theoretic during the long nights of Alicia's shifts: power outages, unscheduled naps from which she awakes with memories of strange "dreams," and visits from a piercing eyed stranger who can read her mind. Is he really a vampire? And if so, will Alicia succumb to his allure, or will she withstand his dark desire?
It is clear from the outset of Darksome Thirst that Ms. Westfield knows her characters well … so well that even the smallest details are given. She possesses the talent and ability to paint vivid portraits with an economy of words, allowing us to feel as if we know these people too. Alicia, Matricaria, and Vincent are all life-like. They walk and talk. And so are the secondary characters, down to the absent Kurt, whom we only know through a recounting of past events. Ms. Westfield has a passion for these people and their stories and conveys that to the reader remarkably well.
At first, what's going on with Alicia at work and what's happening to Matricaria and her coven seem completely unrelated except by the most tenuous bond of shared danger from the same source. But the author manages to cleverly weave them together slowly but surely until the reader reaches a "Eureka" point of understanding exactly where and how the two connect, a fact which Ms. Westfield rightly gives the reader just enough confirmation to be sure of without an abundance of over-explanation.
While somewhat awkward and occasionally stumbling, Ms. Westfield's writing does, at times, soar and shine – never more so than during her descriptions of the coven activity. The characters, alive before, seem to leap off the page in these instances. The prose that previously came across as slightly clumsy and dry bursts with richness and vivid description. It felt as if within the coven is where the story truly wanted to lie, and the rest of the time was a departure from its natural course. It's very rare to encounter pagan activities being so delicately and expertly portrayed; thus, that part of the story was pure pleasure to read and experience. Hopefully the author will continue down this path, which she seems amazingly adept at traversing, in her future work.
Unfortunately, this delicate braid of lively characters and fine storytelling begins to unravel toward the end. Matricaria and her coven fade out of the spotlight in favor of Alicia and her endeavors to discover if Vincent is for real while struggling not to surrender to her work chaos. This turmoil translates to the reader, quite often leaving a feeling of confusion as to what is important and what is not. It continues up to the final battle, which feels rushed and anti-climactic and eschews the vibrant world of mysticism for the cold world of science. In the end readers are left feeling that not only were they themselves robbed of closure and explanation, but these characters they've come to know and care for were cheated as well.
But there is hope. We are assured after Alicia's final tantalizing words that the story will be continued in Ms. Westfield's next novel The Old Power Returns. Despite some shortcomings apparent throughout Darksome Thirst, there was definitely enough meat there, enough passion in the prose, to bring the reader back for more.

Andy Murray (GB) v Rafael Nadal (Sp), Centre Court
Andy Murray, today is all about you, boy. I don't just mean in the sense that the whole of Britain will be watching the biggest match of your life. I mean it needs to be all about you in your own head. About what you can do. About your strengths. Not about the other guy. We don't need to dwell on him just yet, and if I were your coach we wouldn't dwell on him at all. In my final pre-match pep talk I would not even mention his name.
He is getting enough of the hoodoo on players without anyone reminding you. Before they face him they arrive on court with a head full of poop and a one-set mental deficit at least. But he's just another opponent. Forget for a moment that you know anything about him at all. He is not of interest to us at this time. From Portugal isn't he? Small, blond right-hander?
I'm not you're coach, of course, although I have met you a few times. You have used the facilities at my academy on occasion and trained there. You've had assistance from top-level physical conditioners in our gym, also known as the International Performance Institute, where some of the biggest stars of the NFL and NBA come to get in shape.
I liked what I saw of your personality back then, and increasingly like what I see of your play, also how you are developing – and your game with it. When your mind is totally focused, that is. When you are not letting any crap bother you. When you are fully fit. And I think you're fine in all those departments right now.
Not being your coach, I can advise you to speak to your team, let them each tell you what they think about today. Absorb it – and then make up your own mind about how to play Rafael Nadal. You're the captain, you're in charge. I'm guessing that you're not into conventional game-plans because you're not a conventional young man. I support that, and I'll explain why.
In yesterday's paper, after you had beaten Richard Gasquet on Monday night, I wrote that your stated belief that you could beat Nadal – crucially different from being merely hopeful – was an attitude I liked. You think you're a winner, kid. So most important of all is to say, that's right. You can win this. See how easy it is to start believing when you're told. Most importantly, you've told yourself.
How do you win? You move as well as anyone on the Tour these days, when you're in the zone. Your serve is getting better – and needs to be better than against Gasquet. You've got great hands, believe in them.
You return serve superbly. One of Nadal's inherent left-handed advantages is the slice serve that curves low out wide. But we know that your gangling limbs can reach balls in Row A these days.
You need to be offensive. You need to attack from the start. Go in there pumped up and tap into that crowd support. They like Nadal for sure. But he's not theirs and you are, and since that tie-break on Monday you have them behind you, not on your back. Use them. Channel their energy. That could even start to get inside the Spaniard's head at some point, as surely as it got to Gasquet.
Start fast and hard and sure. Try to catch Nadal cold. Pressure his backhand side with deep forehands and then, if you can upset his rhythm just a little bit, that would be the right time to try one of your fancy drop-shot gems. Just do not expect them to work all the time against such a ferocious competitor. And if they don't, then mix it up and try to stamp your authority in a different way.
I'm not your coach so I'm saying this more for the benefit of The Independent's readers. If I was your coach, I would actually avoid any specific game-plan at all. Why? Because, boy, you're an instinctive player and instinct players fly by the seat of their pants. You do your thing.
We don't need to complicate it with instructions. Andre Agassi was the same. When he won Wimbledon in 1992 with me in his coaching box, he won because that was the year he let all his preconceptions about hating grass fall away. He just came to play ball, man, and he ended up winning.
I've called you a street fighter. You're also a fighter pilot. Those guys make adjustments that until they have to make them in a dogfight they didn't even realise they were going to have to make. You'll have to do the same today. You're in for a tough ride.
Nadal is a monster of a competitor. His forte is getting the ball over the net one more time than you. His experience will be in his favour. He's deservedly strong favourite. But today is about you, Andy. You.

Nick's tips to improve your game
Tip No8: Use fresh junk
Whether you're a recreational player at your local club or a pro on the elite tours, the chances are you'll come up against the same bunch of opponents time and again, either your tennis friends or your ATP/WTA rivals. Get an edge by doing something they're not expecting. That might be serve-volley; it might be more spin; it might be using a different base-court position; it might be drop shots or lobs. Mix it up. Amateurs should also remember to chase every last ball. Every single one, whether you initially think it's gettable or not. It helps your fitness and in time you'll end up getting balls you never thought possible.

Novelty Hill Stillwater Creek Chardonnay 2010
Chardonnay from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
Rich and mouth-filling with a lively core of fresh pear and ripe apple that repeat on the lush middle palate and linger across a creamy finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Ripe and fresh, with a woody scent and flavors that border on the tropical, this is a simple white for chilling on the porch."
Novelty Hill Winery
Novelty Hill is a small, independent winery crafting limited quantities of elegant wines from Washington State's finest vineyards. Committed to delivering consistent, high quality wines through careful nurturing from vine to bottle, they are dedicated to using innovative clonal selection, sound viticultural practices and gentle, artisan winemaking to produce wines of uncompromising character.

About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Tens of thousands of mainline rail commuters suffered a bad start today with three separate instances of late finish to night engineering work causing long delays.
Fog added to the morning's problems with some flights cancelled and delayed at London City Airport.
All South West Trains (SWT) routes to and from mainline Waterloo station were delayed due to engineering work over-running.
This knocked out platforms 1-4 causing a huge bottleneck for trains which stacked up behind one another trying to get in.
Trains crawled between Clapham Junction and Waterloo -among the busiest stretches of track in the UK. Many commuters took to the Tube at Vauxhall trying to reach their destinations.
There were no SWT trains between Chessington South and Motspur Park, also due to late finish of engineering work. Passengers were advised to use buses instead.
Late finish to engineering work was again blamed for delays of up to 30 minutes on First Capital Connect (FCC) services from Bedford to London St Pancras.
Signal failure at Ingatestone caused delays of up to 20 minutes for Greater Anglia passengers on the Chelmsford route into Liverpool Street.
A second signal failure at Gidea Park caused delays for commuters coming in from Colchester.
Southern trains between East Croydon and London Bridge were delayed by a signal failure at New Cross Gate.
At London City Airport the first flight of the day, the 6.30 am to Zurich, was cancelled. Early flights to Rotterdam, Antwerp, Amsterdam and Luxembourg were delayed. The situation improved as the day progressed.Reuse content

does anyone know how to remove rear view mirror cover? on a wk2 GC
does anyone know how to remover a rear view mirror cover on a 2011 GC
i have the chrome one which i dont like and i would like to exchange them for a dark charcoal ones if anyone is interestes
Re: does anyone know how to remove rear view mirror cover? on a wk2 GC
move the power mirror glass all the way towards the outside.(meaning move from its current position away from the Jeep. Thiswill expose a little of the interior of the mirror. With your fingers and some force...pull the mirror glass off the housing. The glass just clips to the mirror. Once the glass is loose...unplug any wires leading to the glass. You will have the inside of the mirror exposed now. You will see the 4 clips that hold the chrome cover to the housing. Use a flat blade screwdriver or trim stick and pop the clips off the mirror housing while slowly pushig the chrome mirror cover off. One of the clips is hard toi get to unless you remove a single screw. To remove that screw...fold the mirror in and it will expose the screw in the bend of the fold. This will allow you to move the housing around to reach the final clip. To install the [painted housing just push it on till all four clips...clip in. Reverese the above. very easy....I promise.
Re: does anyone know how to remove rear view mirror cover? on a wk2 GC
I just did this on Sat. Exactly as Scott says. Easy peasy!
Thank you!!

I AM the King of Kindling
By Cam Mather
I find a lot of stupid ways to waste my time, and kindling is one of them. Kindling is small scrap wood that you use to start a fire. If you were to just crumple up newspaper and toss a big round log in to your woodstove, you'd be really disappointed. You'll have much better luck starting your fire if you build a layer of kindling on top of your newspaper, and then start with small pieces of split wood that have lots of edges that will catch fire nicely.
Our neighbors Don and Debbie Garrett operate a mill where they produce hardwood flooring, trim, and all sorts of other wood products. I put together their catalog and their website for them at http://ddgarrettmillwork.com/. For all your millwork needs, call Don & Deb. How's that for a non-subliminal endorsement? Needless to say, they end up with a lot of scrap that they pile up in their yard until it looks like this;
I started grabbing scrap wood from them many years ago. Some if it is great stuff and I've built lots of neat things with it like shelves, chicken coops … you name it. Some of it is too small to build anything with but it's great for kindling.
Originally I just used to cut it by hand, with a handsaw. This was stupid, but it's what a "cidiot" like me does before I figured out that there had to be a better way. A few times I tried cutting it with the chainsaw while it was hanging off the back of the pickup truck, but loose wood like this jumps all over the place and it made it really dangerous to cut that way.
Eventually I built a jig made out of T-steel bars that I bought from the feed mill in town. I put old logs at the bottom so that I don't have to cut right to the ground which saves saw blades. Once I've got it filled up, I cinch it all down with ratchet tie downs that make it really tight. I'm currently patenting this design and was hesitant to release these images to the internet for fear that it will be copied.
Then it's just a matter of cranking up the chainsaw and running it down between the steel and straps to cut the pieces so that they are the right length for a woodstove. Then we package the kindling into boxes. It sounds effortless! Well, it's pretty nifty, but it takes an enormous amount of time. But I just can't stand to see Don's scrap go to waste. Eventually if no one takes it, he burns it because the pile would get unmanageable. I cannot deal with waste like that. I must have been deprived of kindling in a previous life, and now I must make up for it.
Eventually I realized that I had about a two-year's supply of kindling stored in my barn. I decided to try selling it this summer in town at our produce stand. Of course, I started schlepping it into town about July the 1st, just when no one's thinking about fires. I thought maybe the cottagers might have campfires at night, but no one seemed to notice it so I gave up.
Then on one of the last Saturdays in September when I went into town to sell vegetables I took two boxes of kindling. And someone bought them! That's right, they just walked over and bought them! I think I charged $5/box. And it was the best $10 I had ever made. No really! Best day ever!
Kuhlwant, who runs the hardware store in Tamworth, also took a few boxes. And she sold them. So she asked for 10 more! Woo hoo! Don't look now, but guess who hit the big time!
So I decided it was time to go big. I came up with a label and called it "Tamworth Brand" Kindling. Then I decided if I were going to be huge, I'd need a slogan. Or slogans! So here are few I've been using.
"Unlike Billy Joel, we DID start the fire!"
"Like Jim Morrison of 'The Doors' said… 'Come on baby light my fire."
And then I decided I'd better sex it up and tried:
"Let us rekindle the fire in more than just your woodstove!"
Are these brilliant or what?!? Really … what could be sexier than a box of kindling! I'm confident that the readers of my blog will help me to come up with more great slogans.
CBC used to have a TV show called the "King of Kensington" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrP8mjsmy8U
So I decided I was going to become "The King of Kindling" and build an empire on kindling. It was going to huge. And imposing.
Then in the midst of transplanting raspberries and planting garlic last week, Kuhlwant called and wanted another 10 boxes. By the time I scrounge the boxes from the grocery store, get the scrap loaded into my cutting frame, cut it, gather it up and put it in boxes, and then deliver it to the hardware store, well, I don't think it's worth it. Not for $5/box. But I'm not even sure if it would be for $8/box. And at a certain point I would price myself out of the market.
So I've had to rethink the whole dominating the world kindling market plan. I think I may just pull back a bit and cut enough for us and some friends. Not much of legacy to leave I suppose. But as with so many things I find myself doing these days, it's just a tremendous amount of work for little payback.
But then again, it's incredibly gratifying to save such wonderful stuff from being wasted. People rave about my kindling. I'm kind of waffling here. I think what I'll do is go upscale. I'll call it "Tamworth Brand Organic Free-Range Kindling." That's the ticket. I'll charge $20/box, and I might take your order for next winter, if I feel like it. That's the trick. You've got to treat people like you're doing them a favor letting them buy it from you. Move over Warren Buffet. Building my empire is back on track.

I love this. I read your blog every time it shows in my inbox. I love what you're doing with the scrap. I hope you find a way to make it pay. It's one of the problems with small producers – we loose the effects of the economy of scale. Taking ten boxes to the store is costly per box. If you took 20 or fifty, then the cost per box is far less. That makes the trip worthwhile. I had to learn that with my egg business. Delivering one dozen eggs to a house five miles away isn't cost effective. Neither is paying $25 a week for a booth to sell ten dozen eggs at $3 per doz. at the local farmer's market. The home baker that sells her pastries at the farmer's market is far more profitable for me. I deliver five dozen eggs to her house five miles away near my grocery store, bank and other shops. I combine errands with the trip and make it pay me. She in turn distributes flyers for me and advertizes me as one of her suppliers. I do the same for her, and we both profit. Next year I can add smoked chicken and turkey to my products. Maybe then it would be worth paying for a booth.
If you un box, I would suggest still tagging as a way of introducing these confirmed customers to your other ventures. They already have a relationship with you and see you as a supplier of a needed, useful and effective product. I would expect that these people would be more likely than your average bear to buy something else from you. Out here you could double the price for sure. Cutting kindling is a slow boring job no one wants to do and $10 a box of the size you're offering is whole lot cheaper than bribing the kids to do it and is whine free :-). I hope you find a way to make it work as it's a great use of a waste product, if you dont do it yourself, is their anyone else you could put onto it, for whom it would be worthwhile?
I agree with two comments. Lose the box. When you place the long pieces in your contraption bundle them with plastic quick ties or twine in lengths that you want the kindling to be and in the thickness of one bundle so the ties end up in the center of the cut bundle. Then cut. After that just fix a tag on them and you can carry them around by the ties. I've seen kindling that has two ties about 4 or 5 inches apart that has a piece connecting them together like a handle too. Keeps the pieces from sliding out and its easier to carry. You could become the next thousand-aire!
How about "Sticking it to you since 2011" or "We sweat the small stuff" as a slogans?
It's always a treat Cam to read of your adventures.
Kill the kindling idea…rent a shredder and make wood chips.
Go to fungiperfecti.com and buy trifecta mushroom spores, put it all into building healthy soil as part of your organic garden plan and add mushrooms to your CSA products…. your a farmer, not a lumber jack. FungiPerfecti is the epacenter of ecomycoloy too.
You need more tie-downs, so that when it's cut to length, it's not a mess but an easily picked up bunch of parallel short pieces, ready to be put into a box.
If you had a different way to bundle them, you wouldn't need to run and procure boxes. How about hay twine?
With this kindling you've found a niche. That's where money for really small businesses comes from. You have the land to do it, free material as input, and a market that's asking for the product. All you have to do is solve the 'how' with a simple process. You're most of the way there already. Come on, you can do it!!
Very clever setup.
Thanks Cam, for my morning chuckle. I can always count on you.
Just a thought, but what if you banded the long sections securely (and to the dimensions of the box) before you cut them. Then when you cut off a block it's ready for delivery – no collecting, no boxing, and stackable in your pickup.

Perhaps the most original and technically striking films I saw at Rotterdam was Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno's Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait. A truly original style of documentary, the filmmakers trained 17 cameras of various type on one man during a football (soccer) match between Spanish giants Real Madrid and their league opponents Villareal. That man was Zinédine Zidane, the French maestro of the midfield who is one of, if not the greatest players of his generation.
An integral part of the French triumph in the 1998 World Cup, 'Zizou,' as he is known, retired under somewhat ignominious circumstances following France's loss in the final match of the 2006 Cup but that hardly dulls what was an extraordinary career on the pitch and by isolating the man Zidane attempts to capture something of what it is to be Zidane. For the 80-odd minutes he is on the pitch (Zidane gets ejected for a red card foul before the end of the match), the film does exactly that.
Lest the non-sports minded of you begin to glaze over at this point, let me make it perfectly clear that this is by no means a sports documentary. This is a portrait of a man at work and in his element; one of the best in the world at his job and it is a job that billions (yes, I said billions) of people in the world would give their eye teeth to have. While there is no dialog in the film, there are occasionally words on the screen that indicate thoughts that Zidane has during a match, thoughts about every day life that in this setting seem surreal and full of a deeper meaning.
That said, I will not claim that it is completely incidental that the filmmakers chose this particular sport to film. Football is unique among team sports in that there are great periods of time when the "team" aspect is not apparent. Unlike the frantic pace of basketball or hockey or the constant contact of American football, soccer has quite a bit of downtime followed by intense bursts of activity. In this way it is somewhat akin to baseball, but that's a matter for another, longer post!
Zinédine Zidane is a Professional of the first order. After watching him play this game, watching his eyes as they follow the action, him seemingly standing about idly when suddenly he's exactly where the ball lands, watching his feet as they control the ball with precision, it's impossible not to be even more frustrated with the lazy and indifferent play that seems all to often to permeate the pitch these days. There is no joking with other players, no chatter, no trash talking to the opponent. Through the nearly hour and a half of game-time, Zidane utters but one word: "Hey." This he does repeatedly to admittedly comic effect, but it just goes to illustrate that when you're 'Zizou,' that's enough.
Technically, this film is a marvel. The opening credits begin with the camera zooming in towards a television and the screen eventually becoming full of pixels and eventually the word "ZIDANE" appears, with each letter laying over the previous one and forming an odd symbol, resembling in some odd way Michelangelo's Vitruvian Man. The remainder of the film is a mix of formats, from a shot of a television playing the game to an aerial shot of the stadium, Madrid's Bernabau, to everything in between, never before has there been a film like this and it is a completely engrossing experience.

Do a search on RBCD ammo, we have had a lengthy discussion about this ammo, I use to carry it also, no longer trust it with my life.
This is a discussion on Ammo concerns within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Ok, First off I am a NEWB to the site. Lets the hazing begin. I have a concern that has me really puzzled. I carry ...
Ok, First off I am a NEWB to the site. Lets the hazing begin. I have a concern that has me really puzzled.
I carry one of 3 weapons. S&W mod 910, 9mm (15+1) 4" barrell, a Sig mod 239, .40 cal, (7+1), or my STI Spartan .45 Cal, 8+1 5" barrell.
Up until reciently I was carrying RBCD ammunitions because of the Velocity and over all stopping power. I purchased this specific ammunitions because, at the time they were the RAVE of defence ammunitions, of their design and test results. Now I have reciently been warned by several law enforcement friends of mine that I could be subject to several law suits because of carrying such a radical round in my carry weapons.
This brings me to my questions.
1. Do I just shoot up the several boxes of $45 per box of 20 and look for a different carry ammo?
2. Is there anything similar out on the market that produces similar stopping power?
3. Should I just carry a solid ball ammo because I shoot very often and im very comfortable with my shot placement in not only in a competitive but casual scene? 3.152" grouping at 8 meters with 50 rounds.
My overall concern is that if I ever had to draw down and use my fire arm I am confident that I can rapidly place 1-3 rounds in a Kill area of a target, but if I am carrying an "Aggressive" defence ammunition would that play against me?
Law enforcement says that if you carry what we carry then you should be fine.
Also I took of my "Punisher" grips off my STI for the same reason, didnt want to be concidered an aggressive gun freak that was looking for someone to "Neturalize". Any comments on that action too??
Thank you all,
Do a search on RBCD ammo, we have had a lengthy discussion about this ammo, I use to carry it also, no longer trust it with my life.
"defence" - "meters" - are you sure you're from Utah?
No real comment on the ammo, other than I carry SD hollow points for SAFETY - for those in another room or in the vicinity.
Here's where I stand on the other issues you raised.
First rule - LEOs ain't lawyers. Never confuse the two. A LEO's opinion about what a judge and jury would/may do is worth everything you pay for it. If you want an informed opinion, seek out an experienced lawyer, and pay him/her for their services.
To make sure I am in the best possible stance in the aftermath of a rare, but entirely possible SD shooting, I want to:
1. make sure I understand the local/state laws about SD cold,
2. ALWAYS say I was in fear of my life, then zip up my pie-hole until my lawyer shows up, and most importantly,
3. do everything possible to come across to potential jurors as a sane, responsible citizen who was genuinely in fear for his or his family's lives.
I purchase good quality handguns that I don't need to modify in order for them to work for me. I avoid all the bad-azz, tough guy, vigilante, gun-nut affectations. No skulls and crossbones, no tough-guy t-shirts, and absolutely no camo unless I am in the woods hunting. In any case, it's a real fashion faux pas.
I don't wear any gun logo wear, don't brag about my stance on the Second Amendment, nor do I share with others any such sentiments.
Your "Punisher" grips are perfectly legal, and you have every right to have them on your gun. However, I think you are smart to adopt a more low-key persona in the event of that sad day that one day may come.
MadMac said it well. Why give the impression of gangsta high school sophmore? Perception IS important.
I had never heard of the stuff until you posted it here. Check out the 'Box O Truth' to see what they said about it.
Box O' Truth - RCBD Ammo
It looks like just another exotic ammo, that makes great claims but doesn't really have anything to back it up.
I'll stick to tried and true brands of SD ammo... Hornady, Federal, Remington... that are known stoppers.

First, we don't haze around here. That's just not our style.
Second, carry what you shoot well. In addition to practicing with FMJ rounds, practice with your carry rounds. If questioned why you carry XYZ rounds, you truthfully answer it's what I've practiced with and am the most accurate.

The general rule of thumb is that a good shoot is a good shoot.
Having said that it is also a pretty good idea to mimic what LE carries as it's vetted by extensive testing and documentation.

Thank you all for your fast replies. I agree with you MAD MAC about the Lawyer issue. My attourney/close friend, is the one who suggested to remove my novality looking grips because he said tha tmost likely that the weapon would be secured by LEO's and thats one less fire to explain and defend if you do not have to.
TX-JB, I no longer carry the RBCD ammo because of friends who have reciently purchased a box and had 4-5 misfires in a box of 20. Their earlier batches were porven tried and true, the more recient batches are not worth the risk IMHO.
I have a few boxes of Remington 230gr Jacketed-Hollow Points in my .45, and I am using Gold Dot 115 gr Jacketed Hollow Points in my 9mm. The .40 is empty at the moment.
Any ideas or suggestions?
The day you left it at home is the day you wish you wouldnt have.
Every one has their tried and true SD ammo. Mine is Hydro Shocks, they've been around forever, and there is nothing exotic about them. They're in my .40 and .45'a. JMO
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!

I think you will like the gold dots. They should function fine in all your guns. I think you LEO friends told you not to carry the others rounds was because it shows intent, thats the reason most people do not carry there reloads as defense rounds. I personally keep it simple and low key. Stay safe. BTW welcome to the forums.
Federal HSTs in 40S&W are working well in my G27. they're +P and cause my right hand to hurt if I shoot too much at one time. I've got an old right hand injury from 30 some years ago.
Bigdave, welcome!
You may be interested by our ballistics testing (see my sig.) Or not. While there is enough difference from brand to brand to encourage discussion about favorites, I'm of the opinion that most of the premium SD ammo by trusted manufacturers is all pretty good, and shot placement is a much more critical factor.
Me, I like Speer Gold Dots and the different CorBon ammos. But that's just personal preference. Find one your gun likes, and stick with it.

Ballistics by the inch: "Four guys, two chronographs, and 8,500 rounds of ammo."
Like Science Fiction? Read *or listen to* my novel, Communion of Dreams, for free.
Welcome to DC, good folks and good info.
I've never heard of the rounds you mentioned. I think the #s are impressive, but JMO, for me bullet weight is just as important for penetration. Looks like it would be fun to shoot though, it's gotta make a nasty wound cavity. I use the Gold Dot +p in my 9mm and GD JHP's in my .40's. Cheers.
Welcome aboard.
The exotics get a rather bad rap. Could hijack the thread.
Like said previously carry what works best for you, research laws, and question with boldness.
Remember, it is better to be judged by twelve versus being carried by six.

So this will be sort of a piggyback off of the previous forum dicussion concerning this topic. I am considering a career as a compositor, but I need someone to help me understand what is really takes.
First off, Do you need to learn how to light and do FX work? I understand a more generalist approach is good, but are these other fields just an absolute necessary for this line of work? I mean, is would sounds like it would make sense to learn lighting right? And if you do, how deep do you need to take it?
Secondly, and this is a big one, do you need to be able to write scripts and have working knowledge of python or mel? Or anyting scripting language to be a successful compositor?(I believe nuke has its own scripting language?) And if so, how much expression writing/scripting? Are you using that knowledge everyday or just every so often?
Third, Matchmoving. Is this skill essential to everyday done as a comper?
When I see these VFX demo reels, it seems everyone has a knowledge of freaking everything. Please, anyone who could help me understand this field more thoroughly, or any links to good articles on this would be very much appreciated.

Ron Paul as a third-party ticket? Nah.
Here's a VERY interesting take on this…and other things.
(so far, you will have to copy and paste this link onto your browser).
A split field may be Obama's only hope, but don't count on it. Ron Paul is a lunatic; increased exposure on the national stage will only serve to solidify that view among the voters. He could wind up with less than 2% of the vote. More importantly, those who do wind up pulling a lever for him in November are just as likely to be disaffected left-nuts who think Obama hasn't been aggressive enough in punishing the banks or legalizing hemp or cutting the military, or any of many other wacky left pipe dreams. In other words, a Ron Paul candidacy could draw as heavily against would-have-been Obama supporters as against those who would have voted for Romney.

Janes Ammunition Handbook- 7.62mm NATO
There were some questions regarding the 7.62mm NATO manufactured by various countries. I was surfing Janes Ammunition Handbook at work this morning and this is what they have listed;

7.62 × 51 mm cartridge
7.62 mm NATO; 0.308 Winchester
All weapons chambered to Stanag dimensions; notably FN Fal, G3, M14, BM59 rifles, FN mag, L4, MG3, M60 machine guns.
The 7.62 × 51 mm cartridge was devised in the US in the early 1950s as a compromise between the full-sized 0.30-06 and a proposed British 7 mm round; it is little more than the 0.30-06 with a shortened case. Improvements in powder technology allowed the new round to retain the same ballistics as the 0.30-06. Nevertheless, many of its competitors were far more advanced. The US used its considerable influence to override all allied objections, and the 7.62 × 51 mm became international standard. The 7.62 mm international cartridge is too powerful to be a practical assault-rifle round, resulting in the development of the 5.56 × 45 mm cartridge only a few years after its adoption. The 7.62 mm international cartridge remains in wide distribution for use in general-purpose machine guns and sniper rifles.
The case is rimless and bottlenecked, brass or lacquered steel, Berdan or Boxer primed. Cartridges manufactured to the relevant international specification are marked with a cross-in-circle symbol on the head, forming part of the national pattern of headstamp. The standard ball bullet has a lead-antimony core in a jacket of steel coated with gilding metal.

Practice KB: This uses a special short-range bullet composed of a light-alloy body with a plastic pointed nose cap; during firing, the nose cap is ejected from the body of the bullet and falls to the ground shortly after leaving the muzzle; the bullet body, now flat-nosed, is strongly retarded by air resistance and therefore has a maximum range approximating 50 per cent of that of a service bullet; bullet weight 5.55 g; MV 870 m/s; maximum training range 150 m; maximum flight range 1,150 m
PT: This is a one-piece plastic-case bullet with a metal extraction rim; the `bullet' portion is weakened so as to detach from the `case' on firing and to be ejected from the muzzle; the bullet has a maximum flight range of about 300 m and a maximum training range of 50 m; bullet weight 0.70 g; MV 1,100 m/s

what's excellent about it? Only an idiot would shoot at what he can't see, post shtf. When the enemy has cover, YOU better have cover. You donlt have to take or hold any ground, and mobility and remaining undetected are your main "weapons. Nothing about being in the open, or firing lots of noisy rds, at too great ranges or at what you can't see makes any sense at all for the survivalist. The militaries of the world long ago abandoned the 308 rifle, for good reason. It just doesn't get enough more hits to be worth the penalties of wt, and not having a can.

BALTIMORE, Md. - Junior forward Nichole Schiro scored late in the first overtime, giving the Loyola University Maryland women's soccer team a dramatic, 1-0, win over Saint Peter's on Sunday afternoon at Ridley Athletic Complex and sending the Greyhounds to the 2011 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Championship.
The victory moved the Greyhounds to 7-11-1 overall and 5-3-1 in the MAAC, giving them a total of 16 points and the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament that begins Friday, November 4 at Ridley. Loyola will play the No. 2 seed Niagara at 7 p.m.
With Fairfield and Niagara tying in the early game on Sunday, the Greyhounds needed a victory in order to qualify for their 17th MAAC Championship appearance and did it in thrilling fashion with their first overtime win of the year.
Neither side was able to get on the board during regulation, despite the Greyhounds outshooting the visiting Peahens 23-0 during the first 90 minutes of action.
The Greyhound defense was outstanding, not allowing a single shot throughout the game and allowing very few scoring opportunities. The back four of Kelsey Rene, Kelly Santangelo, Jenny Thornton and Joie McLaughlin anchored the defensive effort, while Didi Haracic and Danielle Ippolito combined for the fourth team shutout of the season.
McLaughlin, along with managers Maggie Ebner and Kim Byrnes were honored in a pregame ceremony as Loyola honored the seniors after four years with the program.
Offensively, Loyola controlled the game, generating numerous opportunities throughout regulation but were not able to beat Saint Peter's keeper Caitlin Hoffer.
Hoffer made seven saves in the game and was helped once by a teammate and once by the post to send the game into an extra session.
Rene, Tessa McLenahan and Schiro each had quality chances in the first half, but were not able to capitalize. Rene had a header on a corner kick go off the crossbar in the 26th minute, while McLenahan had a shot of her own stopped by a Peahen defender just moments later.
Schiro had the best opportunity of the first half, breaking down the left sideline late in the frame and taking a shot from eight-yards out that was denied by a diving Hoffer.
Saint Peter's played strong defense throughout the contest and was forced to play a player down for most of the second half and overtime after Maria Tommasini was sent off in the 49th minute with a red card.
Loyola continued to control the game with the player advantage, but was unable to get on the board in the second half while taking seven shots and putting two on net.
The game would head to overtime, sending the Greyhounds into an extra session for the fourth time in the last five games.
After recording a hat-trick and breaking the Loyola career goals record on Friday night against Manhattan, Schiro played hero once again for the Greyhounds as she has done so often in her two-plus seasons in Baltimore.
Katelyn McFadden started the play, sending a ball down the left sideline to a sprinting Gigi Mangione. Mangione sent a cross with her left foot into the penalty area that was touched into the net by Schiro for her 11th goal of the season and second game-winner in the 97th minute of play.
The 11 goals are the fourth-most in a single season in Loyola program history and gives the junior 35 for her career.
The win sends the Greyhounds to their 17th MAAC Championship that will be hosted at Ridley Athletic Complex beginning on Friday, November 4. No. 1 seed Marist will play No. 4 seed Fairfield at 4 p.m., followed by Greyhounds and No. 2 seed Niagara at 7 p.m.

The New Boolim Hotel is conveniently located near the Cheongnyangni train station and the corresponding subway station. The Airport Limousine also stops at this station.
-The staff is helpful and speaks some English.
-It is clean, modern, and convenient.
-There is a free internet access in the lobby.
-It has its own restaurant, but we didn't try it.
-It has a convenience store just in front of the hotel entrance, and a cafe next door.
-There are loads of food stands at Cheongnyangni station square, which sell a whole range of good and cheap Korean snacks.
The only problem of that hotel: the price.
Let me mention 2 points about that:
- It's not that the hotel rate is really high, but there are loads of other accommodation possibilities in Seoul, which can be as clean and as convenient as the New Boolim Hotel, but at a better rate.
- The displayed price is a bit too high (109'000 Won = 117 US$), and it is a much better bargain to book through an agency or a website.
We booked through HotelClub and only paid 49 US$ (= 45'000 Won).
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Expedia, Hotwire, Hotels.com, Travelocity, Ctrip TA, TripOnline SA, Priceline and Cancelon so you can book your New Boolim Tourist Hotel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Budgeted expenditure on government capital
projects for 2012–13 was $8.5 billion. The community expects
that this investment is well managed to deliver assets that are
needed, on time and on budget.
The Gateway Review Process (GRP) was
introduced in 2003 to improve project selection, management and
delivery. The GRP involves short, intensive, independent reviews at
six critical points or 'Gates' in the project life cycle. The GRP
is a valuable concept capable of assisting better performance in
project delivery and has been mandatory for all high-risk projects
since 2003.
However, the implementation of the GRP in
Victoria reflects a number of missed opportunities. The audit
identified 62 projects valued at $4.3 billion that were not
included in the GRP between 2005 and 2012. The GRP was largely
applied on an opt in decision by agencies and not all high-risk
projects were subject to review. As a result, the fundamental
objective for the GRP to improve the management and delivery of
significant projects has not been fully met. The Department of
Treasury and Finance (DTF) has demonstrated a more rigorous
approach to project identification since late 2010 under the
government's 'High Value High Risk' process, although shortcomings
Further missed opportunities resulted from
projects commencing the GRP, only to drop out after completing a
few Gates, meaning that the benefits from applying the GRP have not
been fully realised. DTF has also missed opportunities to use the
GRP to build public sector project management and review
In addition, DTF has not measured the impact of the GRP on
projects. As a result, it cannot make an informed assessment of the
overall contribution of the GRP to improving project delivery by

text: My 99 cent sale for Twenty-Five Years Ago Today and Sink or Swim is ending May 30, then the books will be going back up to $2.99. I just wrote a blog post, explaining the results of the two-month sale (selling over 3000 Kindle books during that time-frame) and discussing the pros and cons of authors pricing their books at 99 cents. On one hand, it can boost sales, on the other hand, it can devalue books. Stop by to share your opinion on this controversial issue.
