BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - Drilling of the observation well at the giant sinkhole in Assumption Parish is expected to enter the abandoned salt cavern Thursday afternoon.
The Office of Conservation says Texas Brine, the company which owns the salt dome, reported the progress Wednesday.
Officials hope the well can help give clues as to what is causing that sinkhole in the Bayou Corne Area.
A map released by the Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness puts in perspective how close the sinkhole is to nearby communities.
Some homes are just 2,000 feet away.
A town meeting is scheduled for concerned residents at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at St. Joseph the Worker Church in Pierre Part.

'Natural Selection': Meanie 'Hangover' actress plays nice
Rachael Harris can play mean, and in the 2009 smash hit Hangover, she plays really mean as Melissa, the girlfriend of Ed Helms' character, Stu.
"My agent was getting calls for me to play the shrew," says Harris. "You can get pigeon-holed."
She's already been a bit pigeon-holed into comedy ever since joining the Groundlings, the legendary Los Angeles improv troupe, and over the past decade she's appeared in sitcoms such as Reno 911, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Desperate Housewives.
"As much as I love sitcoms, can we try to branch out?" asks Harris in a chat about her upcoming visit to Charlottesville and her role in Natural Selection. That's the new indie film that scored big at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, and which she describes as a "coming of age" movie about a woman in her 40s.
"You don't see scripts like that," says Harris, who plays Linda White, a devout Christian in a childless marriage whose husband has a stroke in a sperm bank, to which he's been a regular depositor for the past 25 years.
"I really connected with Linda," says Harris. "She journeys from a very small town and has a trusting personality. I grew up in a small town, and I know what it's like to want to believe there's something good in everyone."
Her upcoming appearance at the Virginia Film Festival is not her first in Charlottesville. In Harris' lengthy filmography, there's a part as a journalist in Evan Almighty, the Tom Shadyac film that had Charlottesville star-struck when it filmed here in 2006.
"I was here for six weeks," she says. "We loved it. The campus is outrageous."
And she has a family connection. "My aunt and cousin live in Charlottesville," she says. "My family lives in Ohio, and I'm having them come."
Harris has one other local connection. "I worked with [Film Festival director] Jody Kielbasa about 15 years ago in L.A. He ran the Tamarind Theatre, and he went by Jody Kiel," she says.
The actress has been making the rounds of such film festivals as the Tacoma Film Festival and Ebertfest in Champaign, Illinois.
"I didn't realize there were so many," she says. "For independent films looking for distribution, I'm so grateful we have this opportunity.
"It's a great feeling to be part of a festival and to meet other filmmakers," she continues. "Independents with low budgets– you really appreciate what they went through. You have a lot of camaraderie– and eating bad food." She seems to fondly remember the hot dogs grabbed before heading into another film.
Harris has played at least two reporters, including one in Evan Almighty. Here's an annoying reporter question she says she often gets:
"Wow, it's so shocking; you play all these bitches in all these films. How do you do it?" She pauses a beat. "Well, I'm an actress."
Rachael Harris will discuss Natural Selection with director Robbie Pickering at 6pm Saturday, November 5, at Culbreth Theatre.Read more on: natural selectionrachael harrisvirginia film festival

"Grounds." Ahem...
.....in your coffee maker.......
it's a public school, and I help to fund it and I will call it what I want!
I wonder what she looks like naked
Rachael is really, really funny in the Wimpy Kid movies. The material is funny, but the success of a funny line depends on its delivery, and she sort of knocks it out of the park.
I'd love to see her in a serious role. I have a hunch she'd be really convincing in a wide range of roles.
I think she looks like you see here without the makeup and airbrush

Oct. 26, 2012
By Bob Thomas, Seminoles.com
BLACKSBURG, Va.– The fall foliage is just past its peak here in Southwest Virginia, with the bright reds, yellows and oranges giving way to shades of brown. It's something of an ironic twist that the nationally-ranked Florida State cross country teams are here to begin their gradual, season-ending crescendo, which culminates with the NCAA Championships on Nov. 17.
"It's time to light the fuse here, get after it, find out how good we are, walk away from it and see what we have to do for the bigger goal," Florida State men's coach Bob Braman said. "It doesn't matter if I play it down. They're going to go after this thing like its Florida-Florida State [football]."
Saturday morning's Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, at Virginia Tech's Smithfield Plantation course, mark the beginning of what is essentially a four-week championship season. In recent seasons, it is the place where the Seminoles have come to shine.
The top-ranked Seminole women, who have not lost an ACC team title since 2006, are once again the heavy favorites to repeat. Coach Karen Harvey's team returns five All-ACC performers from last year's team, which matched a conference record for the lowest winning total (20 points).
Veterans Amanda Winslow, the ACC individual runner-up in 2011, and Violah Lagat – the senior Seminole co-captains – are among a group of four individuals that Harvey believes can challenge for the overall title. Senior Kayleigh Tyerman and sophomore Colleen Quigley have consistently been at the front of the race pack this season. Senior Jessica Parry, a two-time All-ACC honoree who was fourth last season, has the fitness level and history of success to also be in that mix.
They are a veteran group that should be ready to handle the challenges presented by 11th-ranked Duke, No. 26 Boston College, as well as perennial challengers NC State and Virginia.
Harvey would like to see her top five finishers a little more closely bunched, which would bode well for the team's long-term NCAA Championship aspirations. She is also using the meet to help her determine which runners will be on the starting line when FSU plays host to the NCAA South Regional meet on Nov. 9.
"There's a lot of things going on, but our No. 1 goal is to win and it's ACC week," Harvey said. "I'm trying not to let them think about Nationals too much right now, but at the same time, we can't use this as a stepping stone if we don't look to be better than we were at Pre-Nationals."
And Harvey is quick to mention that her team cannot take the competition for granted, despite its recent run of success, because Duke looms as a legitimate threat.
"If our girls don't have a good day and focus the way they did at Pre-Nats, at the bare minimum, oh, yeah," Harvey said. "It's a smaller race. The mistakes cannot be big for us to win. Duke is a very good team and they are lead by a very good runner [Juliet Bottorf] and also have a great freshman [Megan Deakins]."
Braman's men are facing a bit more uncertainty. The Seminoles enter the meet as the ACC's highest-ranked team, checking in at No. 14 nationally, but figure to face stiff challenges from No. 18 Duke, No. 21 Virginia Tech, defending champion NC State and Virginia.
The FSU men, who won the school's first team title in 2010 and came up four points shy of repeating last season, have only finished outside the top two three times in the last nine years.
"It is about as close as you can get," Braman said, sizing up the field. "If you just had to go off actual performance, to this point, you'd have to say us, Virginia Tech, Virginia and Duke. …
"We have a chance to put the pieces together and win this thing. If we're healthy and running to our potential – everybody at their best – vs. everybody else at their best, we should win. But everybody has got a little ding."
FSU seniors David Forrester and Wes Rickman, All-ACC performers on the 2010 championship team, have been training their way back into shape throughout the season after suffering spring injuries. Fortunately, junior Jakub Zivec and senior Breandan O Neill have provided rock-solid leadership at the front of the pack all season.
The Seminoles' depth, perhaps as good as it has been since Braman took over the program in 2000, could well be a key.
"Everybody seems to have a key guy out, except Virginia Tech," he added. " So everybody is kind of missing one piece. What do you have at the back end? How can you make it happen? …
"It's not too bizarre to think [Josh] Gracia and [Will] Bridges are good enough to beat a scorer from the teams that we're chasing."
Zivec and O Neill figure to be in the thick of a lead pack that will likely include Virginia Tech's Will Mulherin, Virginia's Mark Amirault and Zach Gates, along with 2011 runner-up Andrew Colley from NC State.
On the women's side, Harvey has issued a challenge to her lead runners: Run for the individual victory.
"The race for the individual title is going to be awesome; maybe the best it has been for a while," Harvey said. "We haven't won that individual title for three years and that really bugs me. I really feel like this is our year to take it back." Susan Kuijken strong together three consecutive individual titles for the `Noles (2007-2009)
"There are at least three other individuals from other schools that could win the individual title, other than our four," said Harvey, identifying Duke's Bottorf, Virginia's Catherine White, North Carolina's Lianne Farber and NC State's Joanna Thompson.
The action begins Saturday at 10 a.m. when the gun sounds to start the women's 6-kilometer race over the rolling Smithfield Plantation course. The men, who will race 8 kilometers, follow at 10:50 a.m. You can follow the action via Twitter @FSU_XCountry, or at the following:

�We fouled too much, didn�t rebound and shot way too many jump shots,� Fort Osage coach Dawn Williams said of the fourth after her team fell to 9-6 overall, 3-1 in the league. �It was a bad combination for our team.�
Asia Cole and Paige Bunn led Fort Osage with 13 points apiece. Siera Glassford added 12 and Raven Bunn 11. Selena Salas� 21 paced the victorious Hornets.

�We shot 18 percent in the first half � that won�t get you anywhere � and 24 for the game,� said North coach Tricia Lillygren, whose team won Saturday�s meeting 64-52. �Liberty played really well � got to hand it to them.�
Erica Nelson netted 14 points and Imani Johnson 11 for the Broncos (11-4 overall). Sydney Offield scored 13 and Jessica Rawie and Taylor Wetzel 12 apiece for Liberty.

CORBIN, Ky. (WKYT) - A shoplifting suspect in southern Kentucky faces more charges after police say he ordered pizza to the police station as a prank.
Corbin police arrested Michael Harp, 29, Tuesday afternoon for shoplifting and alcohol intoxication in public. While being booked at the police station, officers say Harp asked to make a phone call on his cell phone.
A little later, police say five pizzas from Domino's were delivered to the station under the name of Officer Wilson, who is the same officer that arrested Harp. Police say they linked the call to Harp by tracking his cell phone number. Harp tells us it's all a misunderstanding.
"I'm wrongfully accused on this here. They've charged me with two felonies over this pizza deal because I had my phone inside the holding cell," Harp says. "There was about 10 people who probably used the phone, so it's hard to say. Like I said, I never heard anyone say a word about Domino's pizzas. Any of it."
Harp now faces additional charges including theft of identity, theft by deception, and impersonating a police officer.
Harp says he's getting a lawyer to try and move past this.
"I guess take it to court and see what happens. There's not much I can do at the current moment," says Harp.
Harp is expected to make bail at the Whitley County Detention Center before Thursday.

Good Morning Beautiful. I know this isn't the usual way that I post outfits to the blog, but I couldn't leave this one out.
Today I had not intended on sharing this outfit with you until I saw it in a picture at work, so sadly, this is the only shot I have to show you.
I have always LOVED this top. I love the blue and the sparkles that are throughout (It matches my sparkling personality!). I always feel very good when I have this top on. . .probably because I always seem to get compliments when I wear it.
My gray pants are also a favorite of mine. They are one of the most comfortable pair of pants that I own, and as such I seem to wear them all the time.
Although this was the only shot of me wearing this top today, here are a few pictures taken a while back with this same top on. What do you think of it?

I think we are seeing the fatal flaw of the scale first, monetize later model of internet startups. Instagram has been embroiled this week in an uproar about its new, and very broad, terms of service. Kevin Systrom, Instagram's co-founder wrote a blog post yesterday trying to diffuse the outcry by saying that its intentions have been misunderstood and that, "Legal documents are easy to misinterpret."
But whether or not Instagram or Facebook intend to sell member's photos to advertisers or merely allow photos by members who like a given brand to be presented adjacent to images from that brand, the point is that in order to benefit from Facebook's scale for legitimately usefult things like spam filtering, Instagram needs to create data that is interoperable with Facebook's. And here lies the rub.
What does this have to do with SnapChat, the self-destructing photo (and now video) sharing app for iOS and Android that is growing on an Instagram-like trajectory—particularly among teens and young adults? To put it bluntly, a big reason why SnapChat is cool for kids is because it is not Facebook. It's not only that the idea of ephemeral images is relevant to young people's rate of change, which is even greater than adults' experience of our hyper-accelerated culture. It's that giving users control over the duration of their data is a new idea—and one that is completely at odds with Facebook's underlying design paradigm.
Briefly, SnapChat allows you to find or invite friends from your address book and then send one or more friends a picture (and now 10 second videos, as well) and set the duration (between one and ten seconds) that it will be visible on your friend's screen before it disappears, ostensibly forever. But what about screenshots? You can capture the images, if you are quick, but the sender is informed immediately if you do. Although widely considered a "sexting" app, most of the 50 million photos evaporating through SnapChats servers are likely #LOL funny faces, #AWW cuteness, #FAILs and other hashtag genres.
No doubt, some of what goes on with SnapChat may in hindsight be regrettable, but (other than the screenshot trail) these indiscretions have no digital afterlife. Instead of focusing on the unseemly part, what I think is more significant is the little bit of control (1-10 seconds and who to send to for each image) that the app gives its users over their data. It is a trend worth following because it runs counter to the ways most tech companies are trying to monetize social media.
Which brings us back to Facebook. When I read on Monday that the one billion strong social network was working on its own version of a SnapChat-like app, I had a moment of cognitive dissonance. Is Facebook really going to embrace user data volatility when it runs counter to its whole business model? Like Google with its Street View payload data debacle, Facebook seems to simply be incapable of resisting the siren song of warehousing more data. And I would contend that Instagram's current jam is the result of it trying to fit into Facebook's data paradigm—and it's a stretch.
When I got co-founder Mike Krieger to talk about how Instagram would handle monetization while maintaining the user-centric focus that fueled their growth, he said that it would approach revenue opportunities like any other feature to test and refine. Looking at it from this perspective, Instagram's new terms of service (TOS) were written to give the company the maximum flexibility to try out monetization schemes. But, of course, once you have 100 million users, you are subject to intense external scrutiny for everything you do. Even if, as Systrom writes, "it is not our intention to sell your photos," the TOS were easily interpreted to make that possible. And although in terms of Instagram photos being used in ads, Systrom clarified, "We do not have plans for anything like this," if the TOS do not specifically limit such usage we can assume that, at some point, it could happen.
And this is where we get back to SnapChat. The upstart app run by four 20-something Stanford grads operating out of founder Evan Spiegel's Dad's house in LA, clearly does not have the infrastructure to reuse of its users' data. Once they take that rumored $8 million from Benchmark Capital, that could all change, of course. The question for SnapChat, and this really is a big money question, is if they can find a means of monetization that preserves user control over rapid data decay as a core design principle of their product. That would open the way for thinking about user data differently than Facebook and the other large social networks have.
On the most obvious level, SnapChat could be monetized through cell phone carriers as a means of increasing data usage fees. The problem, of course, would be that then SnapChat would have an incentive counter to the interest of its users (i.e. users want faster and cheaper.) But at least that would be tied to the amount of the data, not the content of the data.
Mathew Ingram wrote in a very intelligent post on the Instagram flap this morning on GigaOm that, "In the vast majority of cases, if you are using a service provided for free on the internet, you are paying for that product or service with your attention, and that attention is going to be monetized in a variety of ways." He continues that he believes, "this is a fair trade—I get a free service that has a lot of value, and I pay for it by looking at (and possibly even participating in) some advertising. If you don't like this bargain, then you have other choices." So we shouldn't expect something for nothing, but the corollary is that we should be active in deciding if we like the bargain.
Forbes' Parmy Olson writes in a recent post that, "Before it was assumed that anything we created should be stored and categorized for some future, as-yet-unknown circumstance. Now it's becoming clear that most of us have simply too much content to adequately handle." What's missing in Olson's analysis is that it is social networks, preeminently Facebook, that have made those assumptions, not users. SnapChat has now raised the issue in a big way and users, it seems, have use for non-reusable data.
So Facebook can start its own standalone SnapChat clone tied into its massive infrastructure, and people will use it. But I would not expect it to be a runaway success like SnapChat—precisely because of that massive infrastructure. How can users trust Facebook with their volatile data? The entire grain of the Facebook service is designed to trigger sharing, to motivate storage and to increase the ability to generate social data. Unfortunately for Instagram, despite the best of intentions, it now finds itself in the same position.
The other, more disruptive way Facebook could respond to the fact of SnapChat (other than copying them or buying them) would be to learn from their example. Facebook could, through a wrenching realignment, become the fine grain means through which users could gain control over their data. It could provide easy-to-use tools that would encourage that control and sense of ownership. It could become a privacy platform instead of a privacy liability, and perhaps users would pay for that service. If not Facebook, then Google or someone. The next generation of users are voting with their Snaps—and they want more control.

Corn and turnips are not planted together. Not in the same field, not in the same row, not even at the same time of year.
In the same way, different things that are going on in our lives are like different plants, and your "life veggies" will rarely look the same as mine. They probably taste quite different, too.
Corn is a big deal veggie in Kentucky. Corn is usually planted around here in April or May. It grows for a few months, then the garden-lovers pluck the ears off and voila, corn! Turnips, however, are not that big of a deal, and they are typically planted in June or July. To harvest those, the nice gardener people pull the purple and white goodies out of the soil by hand. Carefully.
Turnips and corn aren't tended in the same way, don't grow the same speed, and most certainly don't have the same taste! In the same way, "life veggies" do not grow the same way, need the same tending, get harvested at the same time, and do not taste the same. Maybe for your "life veggies," right now, you are learning about God's perfect peace and cultivating that in your heart. At the same time, your good friend is focused more on trusting God's solutions for a particular circumstance. Your understanding of God's perfect peace likely will take years to mature, and once it reaches a mature stage, it will produce a crop all the time, the way full-grown oak trees produce acorns every year. Your friend may quickly reach that place of trusting God in a particular circumstance, and not need years of growth and cultivation. Their "life veggies" would certainly look different than yours, and benefit different areas of life, bringing unique favors that taste perfect in the right situations.
Being different doesn't mean either of us is wrong in what veggies we cultivate. Also, no "veggie" is superior to another. All are food, all are life-giving. These different "veggies" show us that God knows what He is doing in each of us, in each family, and in each community, and we should not try to make people around us plant and cultivate the exact same things we are, at the same time.
In addition, we don't want to assume that just because God brought someone else through a process in one way, we will go that exact same way. However, if we have insight into that thing the other person is trying to grow, we can encourage and help them through the process.
So, what are your "life veggies" right now, and how are they being cultivated?

Chad Hurley And Steve Chen's AVOS Closes Its Series A Funding
Hey, wake up! It may be 3 a.m. where most of our readership lives, but that doesn't mean the news cycle stops. AVOS, the one-year-old company led by YouTube co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, has just announced that they've closed their Series A round.
The news comes out of The Next Web conference in Amsterdam, where Hurley made the announcement in an on-stage chat with my old colleague (and good buddy) Robin Wauters.
The round is led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Google Ventures, with participation from Madrone Capital and Kai-Fu Lee's Chinese incubator Innovation Works. (And for today's bit of 3 a.m trivia: Steve Chen was actually one of the first investors in Innovation Works, which is now in turn helping to fund AVOS)
Alas, Chad and Steve are keeping mum on the exact terms of the deal, saying it's really more about the non-monetary resources that their new investors bring to the table than it is about a need for money.
"We've been funding this more or less by ourselves for the last 18 months," Steve Chen tells me. "Its not so much about the funding as it is that in starting from scratch again there are a lot of challenges. From building out the infrastructural stacks to hiring in both the Bay Area and China, we wanted to be able to have access to the advanced resources and experience that these investors bring that we don't have ourselves."
NEA's Alex Kinnier will join Hurley and Chen on AVOS' board, along with ex-YouTube/Facebook CFO Gideon Yu whenever he's not too busy being the president of the San Francisco 49ers.
Now, as for what the heck AVOS is actually doing…
You might recall that AVOS saved Delicious from Yahoo's flailing hands back in April of 2011 — one year to the day, in fact, before this Series A announcement. Since then, they've also acquired the social network monitoring tool tap11, launched Delicious' almost identical Chinese twin Mei.fm, and most recently began to tinker with a digital magazine creation/discovery service they call Zeen.
At a deeper level, Steve and Chad seem to view AVOS as a lab of sorts. They're building a number of projects "quickly and nimbly" to discover which "building blocks" they find themselves reaching for most often, so that they can standardize these common components across all of their social-centric projects and avoid constantly reinventing the wheel in the future.
Whatever that leads to in the long run, I'm just happy that they saved Delicious.

Travis Buck Hits For Cycle In Baseball's 19-0 Win Over Southern Utah
March 7, 2003
TEMPE, Ariz. (www.TheSunDevils.com) -- Arizona State freshman outfielder Travis Buck went 5-for-5 with seven RBI and hit for the cycle as the No. 3/4 Sun Devils defeated Southern Utah 19-0 in seven innings in the third game of the second annual Bob Schaefer Memorial Classic Friday night at Packard Stadium.
Buck, a freshman from Richland, Wash., capped his perfect night with a grand slam home run as part of an eight-run sixth inning to become ASU's first player to hit for the elusive cycle since Mitch Jones recorded the rare feat on May 21, 2000 at Arizona. Buck, ASU's normal starting left fielder who was making only his second start in right field, had a single in the first, a double in the third and a triple in the fifth before connecting on his second home run of the year for the cycle. He also added a run-scoring single in the fourth and tied a career high with two stolen bases.
ASU's most decisive win of the year extended the current winning streak to 17 games (ASU's longest since a 23-game streak in 1990) and improved the Sun Devils to 26-1 overall, extending the best start in school history. Now 0-21 all-time vs. ASU, Southern Utah dropped to 2-3 on the year with the loss.
Posting ASU's fifth shutout of the year (fourth combined shutout), sophomore starter Mark Sopko (Joliet, Ill.) scattered five hits in five innings and struck out four to improve to 3-0. Senior Carlos Arguello (Albuquerque, N.M.) contributed a scoreless inning of relief (two strikeouts) and redshirt freshman Matt Leaf (Peoria) closed out the win with one strikeout in the seventh.
In addition to the big game from Buck, the Devils wrapped out a season-high 21 hits en route to the 19-0 win. Sophomore shortstop Dustin Pedroia (Woodland, Calif.) recorded his 18th multi-hit game of the year by going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. The 2002 Team USA member drilled his Pac-10 leading 16th double of the year and extended his current hitting streak to 15 games.
Junior second baseman Steve Garrabrants (Phoenix) was 3-for-3 with three RBI and equaled his season high with two stolen bases. Sophomore third baseman Frank Mesa (Yuma) also continued his torrid streak at the plate going 3-for-4 with three runs scored to increase his season batting average to .414 (24-for-58). Andre Ethier (Phoenix) was also 2-for-4 and junior Rod Allen (Culver City, Calif.) knocked in two runs on a 2-for-5 performance.
The Thunderbirds were led by the two hits from leadoff hitter Ryan Duvall (2-for-4). Starting pitcher Matt Shepherd was saddled with the loss giving up five runs (four earned) in three and two-thirds innings. He struck out five and did not walk a batter.
Arizona State (26-1) returns to action tomorrow night with a 7 p.m. game against Utah (7-6). Southern Utah faces Cal State Northridge at 1 p.m. tomorrow to continue the annual Bob Schaefer Memorial Classic. CS Northridge beat Utah 9-8 in Friday's first game. Senior right-hander Jered Liebeck (4-0, 2.11 ERA) will start for ASU against the Utes.
Game Highlights:� Travis Buck goes 5-for-5 with seven RBI and hits for cycle. Grand slam in sixth caps cycle.� The cycle is ASU's first since Mitch Jones hit for the cycle on May 21, 2000 vs. Arizona.� ASU improves to 26-1 overall and has won 17 straight games dating back to loss to Long Beach State on Jan. 31.� Dustin Pedroia goes 3-for-4 for his 18th multi-hit game of the year. He is 7-for-9 (.778) on the weekend with four doubles.� Pedroia is now hitting .447 with hits in 26 of ASU's 27 games this year and has a current 15-game hitting streak.� ASU has now scored in double-digits in nine straight games and 16 games overall in 2003.� ASU scored in its 460th straight game to extend its NCAA record.� The Sun Devils now lead the all-time series with Southern Utah 21-0.� Buck's slam was ASU's eighth grand slam of the year. (NCAA record is 12 by Oklahoma State in 1996)� Franks Mesa goes 3-for-4 with three runs scored.� Steve Garrabrants goes 3-for-3 with two SB and three RBI.� ASU registers fifth combined shutout of the year.

Google Calendar – Can Only Share Calendar In See Only Free/Busy (Hide Details) Mode
This morning I was attempting to share one of my Google Apps Google Calendars with my default Gmail account with full access rights however it kept changing the sharing mode from Manage Changes and Manage Sharing to See Only Free/Busy (Hide Details). At first I thought it had to do with the calendar I was sharing too already being shared back to this calendar with lower calendar event rights however after I deleted all traces of the calendar I was still running into the same issue. Turns out the issue was in the Google Apps dashboard for the Google Apps Calendar I was attempting to share to the normal Google account. Below I describe the issue in more detail and what settings need to be modified in the Google Apps dashboard to allow you to share Google Apps Calendars with full admin privileges.

Hi Folks,
It's been a couple of months since you've heard from me. I attempted my first NaNoWriMo in November, but only got to about four thousand words. To be honest, I became overwhelmed, stressed, and depressed. I began looking at all of my efforts in a negative light.
Exhaustive participation on social media sites did not translate into book sales. I made many friendships with fellow authors for which I treasure, however; the time spent tweeting and posting to Facebook had taken my imagination hostage. When I sat down to write, I had nothing. Nada. Zilch. This went on for weeks.
I decided to step away from it all for a bit. No Twitter; no Facebook; no writing; instead, I baked and cooked and read and hung out with my family and my animals. I spent a lot of time working outside in the fresh air, appreciating the antics of my three pet goats and the nine adorably funny Guinea Hens that have newly adopted my front yard as their home. I rested. I remembered how grateful I am for my life and the wonderful people and experiences that fill it.
My children's story, LUCCI-The No Smoochie Poochie was published on Amazon exactly one year-ago today, and I also embarked on building my author platform, so I thought it fitted that I claim my imagination back on this special anniversary. I'm up on the horse!
I followed constructive criticism and am having some of the illustrations in LUCCI revised, and I opened my NaNo story and went to work on it this morning.
Now, I'm posting to my blog. Whoopee! I'm still scared as hell, but quitting is not an option!
Jeff Goins wrote a similar post about stepping away from it all. Try it; you'll be surprised. The nicest surprise I received was knowing that there were folks out there still supporting me, although it was not reciprocated for a bit.
Thank you friends, see ya'll on Twitter and Facebook pronto!

CPP's New Dropped Axle And Springs For '57-60 F-100s
Believe it or not, it snows here in Southern California just as much as anywhere else, enough to make snowballs. Too bad most of this arctic weather happens in the garage–you know, when a project starts to snowball. Not to say it gets out of control, just that it's taking a bit of a different course than you planned. Sometimes, no matter how bad you want to just get one thing done, you wind up having to jump around and put the puzzle together differently.
We were hoping to show you how to lower a '57-60 F-100's backside while retaining a good ride that would wrap up the new Currie rearend story nicely, but we might have been putting the cart before the horse, so to speak, taking into consideration the truck's stance at the end of said alterations. It was deemed that the front should have a slight rake while sitting low or at least level. The rear suspension is easy to deal with in a few different ways and shouldn't be a problem, but up front we decided to stick with a solid axle of the dropped variety from Classic Performance Products, or CPP, instead of trying to hassle with an IFS. Granted, the IFS would get the truck lower in the long run, but it isn't an option for everyone, so we needed to see where the front was going to wind up, as it will dictate where the rear will come to rest.
CPP has been trying to branch out and provide products to those outside the mainstay '53-56 F-100s, and in doing so they have had to do some R&D work to make great new products for the "other" makes, models, and years out there. What you see here being done to this '60 F-100 will be available as a kit or individual pieces by the time this prints. In the past many people have had to make do and fit parts from earlier trucks since they are readily available new, but that can lead to more work than necessary, like retrofitting different leaf springs because there were little to none available for the '57-60 models. Well, thanks to knowledgeable help from area legends Deaver Spring, CPP now offers dropped bolt-in versions of the stock parallel leaf springs that ride better than OEM thanks to Teflon sliders.
After all is said and done, this swap could be done in less than a day by a first-timer, with the only holdup being if you need to have a machine shop install and ream the new kingpin bushings, which is generally inexpensive. CPP will be setting in the motor and trans soon to make way for more new products, and next month we'll be able to get this sucker back down on the ground where it belongs! Call, click or stop by CPP for more info, and keep reading Classic Trucks for the latest and greatest.

Anyone hear his interview on ESPN? He admitted to intentionally missing blocks so that Scott Mitchell would get hurt. He went on to say that this is nothing strange and it happens in the NFL today. He said there are unwritten rules and players take things into their own hands when things go wrong within an orginization.
I'm not saying this happened Sunday with the 11 sacks but it sure makes you wonder. Jets are a mess and the players are undisciplined. Rex seems to have little control so it sure wouldn't shock me.
Anyhow I found what Lomas was saying very interesting.
Wasn't it the same Jets team and OL who everyone sensed got a big surge when McElroy replaced Sanchez against the Cards. So did they decide in two weeks of practice that he really sucks and want him to get punished.
Or is this just another the MAN is against Tim Tebow conspiracy theory,
I sure hope we have five guys with Lomas Brown's attitude on Sunday afternoon. First play of the game just stand up and let them all in. Just pummel his ass.
Has Sanchez been horrible - yes - way too many turnovers, but in this offense and with the current skill position players Tom Brady would have gone fetal so many times he would have crawled up into his mother's womb.
Peyton Manning would be retired with a fused neck and spinal column.
The offense is setup to fail , starting with the desire to run a ground and pound offense to the ragtag wr's who need a garmin to run the correct routes.
It would actually be pretty awesome if Rex snapped last week and the Tebow leak coincided with telling the O-line to let little Greggy know what happens to locker room snitches.
Why would he ever admit to it? Fargin eejit.
God forbid it was a black QB and white OL. This would be getting major play.

SHALLOTTE—Aldermen once again tabled annexing more than 78 acres off Gray Bridge Road and an amendment to the development's Phase II master plan at the request of Wakefield Coastal, developers of San Rio.
The developers say they are in the middle of working out an infrastructure agreement with the town that should be ready by the March 25 pre-agenda meeting. The agreement will focus on the size of the sewer pump station and sewer fee reimbursement terms, both of which were the subject of much debate between the town and the developers last month.

In Hindu Calendar, the day starts with local sunrise and ends with next day local sunrise. As sunrise time is different for all cities, Hindu Calendar made for one city is not valid for any other city. Hence it is important to use location based Hindu Calendar, like this website. Further, each Hindu day consists of five elements, which are called angas. These five elements are -
In Hindu Calendar, all five elements together are called Panchang. (In Sanskrit: Panchang = Pancha (five) + Ang (part)). Hence Hindu Calendar which shows all five elements for each day is called Panchang. In South India Panchang is known as Panchangam.
When Hindu Calendar includes Muslims, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist and Jain festivals, including national holidays, it is called as Indian Calendar.

Suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth every day between Monday's bombing and the Thursday night shootout in which his older brother died.
Suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth every day between Monday's bombing and the Thursday night shootout in which his older brother died.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a university official confirmed Saturday that Tsarnaev had been seen on campus during that period.
"We have witnesses," the source said, adding that information about Tsarnaev's appearance on campus has been passed on to law enforcement.
The campus remained closed Saturday, and a lone campus security officer manned a barricade, turning away all traffic. The university will reopen Sunday, according to a press release.
Students will be able to return to campus Sunday to access their cars or participate in athletics starting at 9 a.m., and residence halls and campus dining will reopen at noon, the press release said. Transportation for students staying at the Best Western Hotel will begin at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Authorities evacuated the school Friday morning after reports confirmed that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, now in police custody, is a registered student. Tsarnaev's brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed during a shootout with police early Friday morning.
Links between Tsarnaev and this area continue to grow in number.
Police closed off streets in a west-end New Bedford neighborhood Friday night after reports of activity connected Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to the city.
Calls to the New Bedford Police Department for confirmation were referred to the FBI, but a source within the department confirmed that the three people were taken into custody to be questioned by the FBI.
UMass Dartmouth spokesman John Hoey said he did not know if the three people taken into custody were UMass Dartmouth students and did not know if any other students have been questioned or detained.
"That's a question for law enforcement," Hoey said.
The college will have a call center open Sunday from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. to answer any questions or concerns about returning to campus. The number of the call center is 508-999-8000.
Campus clergy will be available in the Religious Resource Center and the Counseling Center staff will be available in the Counseling Center on Sunday.

With very innovative style, All Things Beautiful is challenging the Blogosphere to blog about their Top 10 Worst Americans, and it appears to be taking the blog world by storm.
The post itself is a challenge, not a list. From within the post and comments are numerous links to bloggers not only listing their top 10 worst Americans, but doing it with zeal, style, and, well, bloggermania.
If you want a look at those bloggers feel are the worst Americans, looking back across over 200 years not just the past few years, then you are in for some surprises and fun. If you want to accept their challenge, then head on over and blog about your favorite bad US Citizens and make sure you include a link so a trackback will appear on the blog, or comment on the blog with a link to your list if your blog doesn't have trackback features.
I'm wondering if they will have some kind of popularity contest and actually list the top 10 worst Americans from all the top ten lists created so we can really get a better evaluation on who is really the worst of the worst.

The 1908 line continued from the 1907 with but minor changes. The Model S,
introduced about August 1907, replaced the Model R. Added to the line was a roadster version
of the Model K, called the "6-40 Gentleman's Roadster."
Ford 4-cylinder 15-18 H.P. Runabout---Model "N"
Ford Model "N"
It is a little over two years since the Ford four-cylinder, 15 horse-power
runabout (Model "N") was first announced. We have made automobile history rapidly since.
Then, a mere conjecture in the minds of many-now, the most potent influence in the industry.
Then, a promise---now, the most notable fulfillment of all Ford promises, every one of which
has been fulfilled to the letter. Then, a butt for jest or ridicule by competitors-now, the
one car to duplicate, or copy, or to compete with which other makers are most concerned.
We had learned no less from the mistakes we had seen others make than from the
uniform success of all former Ford models, that the most delusive thing in the building of
motor cars is the seeming cheapness of cheap materials. A car made from such shows a big
gross profit. But the replacement of defective parts, the repairs that must be made gratis
if the maker would have customers recommend his car, cuts the big gross down to a small
net---or a deficit by the end of the year.
"Eliminate the guess; let certainty, accuracy, take the place of perhaps. See
that the quality of work and materials are such that there shall be no culls---no seconds---no
loss of materials or time in assembling the complete car." These were Mr. Ford's axioms in
working out his plans. The result is a system, an organization, and a car of such quality
and ability---such powers of performance and endurance---as has commanded the admiration
of our strongest competitors. And, now that nearly 10,000 of this model are on the road---we
can say there have been less troubles, less repairs and less replacements of defective parts
for these 10,000 cars than for any 500 cars ever built before. In other words, Mr. Ford has
attained his ambition and if this Ford model is "more hated by competitors than any other
car ever built," it is also true that it is more prized by its owners than any other of
any make.
Model "N"---four-cylinder, vertical; located longitudinally under hood at the
front. Cylinders cast in pairs. Bore, 3-3/4 inch; stroke, 3-3/8 inch; rated horse power at
normal speed, 15. (Under series of tests connected with and driving dynamo develops
18.4 h. p.) Aluminum crank base. Crank shaft bearings, highest grade babbitt metal;
exceptionally long. Cam shaft bearings, bronze.
FORCE FEED OILER---A faultless lubrication system is afforded by a
force feed oiler with sight feeds for regulating the flow. One tube serves to maintain a
uniform level in the engine base and the other leads to the ball housing which encloses the
universal joint in the cardon shaft. All engine parts---crank shaft and connecting-rod
bearings, piston pins, cylinders, cams, and valve lifters, are lubricated by the "splash"
system. Owing to the fact that the stroke in this engine is shorter than the bore and that
the pistons project into the base at the end of each stroke the splash system of lubrication
leaves nothing to be desired. It is certain and simple. The oil begins to flow when the
engine starts and while it is running the supply is in direct proportion to speed of the
motor---in other words, to exactly meet its requirements. When the motor stops the oil
ceases to run so that once the feed is regulated a constant level can be maintained in the
engine base regardless of variation of speeds. A partition mid-way between front and rear
of the engine base prevents the oil flooding the rear cylinders when climbing steep grades
and keeps the two pairs equally lubricated. Oil cups are provided at every bearing point
throughout the car---even at the spring connections. Provision is made both in the
transmission gear and in the differential and bevel gear housing of the rear axle, to pack
these parts with heavy grease, one supply of which will last for several weeks.
Perfect cooling under all conditions is afforded by a most efficient vertical tube radiator which forms the front of the hood and in which the centrifugal pump is incorporated. The circulation system has been carefully worked out so that the water is constantly in motion and it is impossible for the engine to overheat no matter bow hot the weather or how long it may run idle or on the low gear.
The transmission is of the Ford spur-planetary type, nearly ten thousand of which are now in use and which have proven so wonderfully efficient and durable. Low speed and reverse clutches are of the fiber-lined, steel band type, which take hold smoothly and which spring away from the drums when disengaged so as to prevent "dragging" and the consequent waste of power. The high-speed clutch is of the multiple disc type with fiber discs interposed between smooth cast iron discs. A transmission gear is almost unnecessary o n this Model "N" car as the excessive power of the engine enables the car to climb almost any hill or negotiate the muddiest or sandiest roads on the high gear---and at a slow speed if the driver so desires. The low gear is seldom or never used except for the first twenty or thirty feet when starting from a stand-still. It will be seen, therefore, that this transmission should outwear almost any other part of the car.
|Final Drive
The Ford triangular drive system is patented in every country in the world. It is the only system in which all driving shafts, universal joints, gears and other moving parts are enclosed in a dust proof and oil tight housing from transmission gear to the hub caps of the wheels. The drive is direct to the center of the chassis regardless of whether the car is running straight or turning corners; and only one universal joint is necessary. A ball-and-socket connection between the tubular torsion member of the transmission frame allows the axle to oscillate in any direction and thereby relieves the passengers of all strains and shocks due to unevenness of the road. It also permits of the use of full elliptic springs, flexibly connected to the frame brackets instead of the rigid connection necessary when the driving strain must be transmitted through the medium of the springs. This system is broadly covered by letters patent in all countries. The universal joint comprises four members---the two drop-forged steel sections and the halves of the split bronze retaining ring. It is, at the same time, the simplest, most efficient and most durable universal joint ever devised, and as it is automatically lubricated at all times, the owner "never knows it is in the car." The drive shaft bearings are of babbitt, carefully reamed and fitted and the oil from the universal joint flows constantly down through these bearings and into the differential housing.
The rear axle proper is the well known Ford design, the driving members being enclosed in a tubular steel housing, press-fitted and riveted to the cast steel sections of the differential case. Hyatt roller bearings of the indestructible type are fitted at both ends of the live members. The differential gear is of the three driving pinion and main bevel gear are drop-forged from Ford special Vanadium steel, teeth accurately planed and case hardened. The axle may be taken apart in a few minutes, differential gear and other parts removed and examined.
Front Axle
The front axle of the Model "N" is a marvel of the drop-forging art. The entire axle is drop forged in one piece from Vanadium-chrome steel and is specially treated after forging. It is in "I"-beam section-the form which gives the maximum of strength with the minimum of weight. The worst that can happen to this axle, even in a collision with a telegraph pole, is to bend it; and even if bent double, it can be heated in a blacksmith's forge and straightened or straightened cold without having suffered any actual injury. Steering knuckles and spindles, are drop-forged from special steel, in one piece. Front wheels are carried on large ball-bearings-balls being more suitable for supporting the end-thrusts occasioned by steering.
Steering Gear
The Ford Reduction-Gear is the only really new thing has been developed in several years. Like the rear axle, it is being patented in all countries and we believe it is the most satisfactory solution of the steering problem that has yet appeared. It is just sufficiently irreversible to relieve the driver of all road worries and at the same time yields enough to irregularity of the ruts to save the car from the many shocks and twists from which it would otherwise suffer. The gears, instead of being located below the frame where they become clogged with mud and cut by grit and dust, are placed at the top of the post and just within the hub of the steering wheel. Ball joints connect the steering arm with the transverse steering rod.
Full elliptic springs are the only satisfactory type for rough American roads
and the imperfect block pavements of our cities---and Ford cars are built for hard service
over such roads.
While we are on the subject, it might be well to note that the "three-point suspension" idea has been carried to what might be termed, its "logical conclusion" in this car. The driving forces are transmitted through tubular radius members from the outer ends of the rear axle, at a point just below the spring blocks, to a common center at the ball joint previously described; then, from a point almost directly below this ball joint is another from which diagonal tubular radius members convey the driving forces again to the ends of the front axle; the engine and transmission are supported at three points; and the frame also has a three-point suspension on the two rear springs and the single transverse front spring as previously outlined. The wonderment which everyone after his first ride in a Ford runabout expresses, is induced by the constructional factors above outlined.
The frame is of the approved steel type, in channel section, and is made from the highest grade of material procurable. It is cold-pressed and tapered toward the front and rear. The frame has a factor of safety many times the load which it will ever be called upon to sustain. This is also true of the axles and every other part.
The neatly designed Model "N" runabout is such a familiar sight on the streets of every city in America---and even in Europe now---it seems almost unnecessary to describe it. Briefly, then: two semi-individual seats, standard width and height, handsomely upholstered in dark green M. B. Leather and curled hair. "Torpedo-back" for carrying tools, rain coats, rugs and extra tires. Highly finished, neatly striped and trimmed.
The Model "N" car is splendidly equipped with brakes. For service use, there is a contracting fiber-lined band brake operating on a special drum on the transmission shaft. For emergency use there are a pair of internal expanding, bronze rings contained within dust proof, pressed steel drums attached to the rear hubs. Then the reverse clutch band, operated as it is by a foot lever, may be used as a brake if desired. The service and emergency brakes, being also operated by foot levers, there are three foot levers, any one of which will slide the wheels on any kind of road surface.
The Model "N" is equipped with 28x3 inch clincher tires. Owing to the fact that no one tire concern can supply us with our full requirements, it is impossible for us to give customers an option on make of tire---we must equip each day's output with whatever tires we have in stock. It is sufficient to say we buy the best there is and since the tire pool went to pieces, we have no difficulty in getting any brand we desire---in fact the scramble for the Ford tire business today is in sharp contrast to the attitude of some tire concerns a year ago when a concerted effort was made to prevent Ford carrying out his plans for a four-cylinder runabout at a reasonable price.
The gasoline tank is located under the seats and has a capacity of eight gallons. As this car averages about twenty-five miles per gallon of gasoline, this is sufficient for about two hundred miles of running over ordinary roads.
Consists of tools and tire repair kit only-lamps, tops, etc., extra. Catalogue and prices on request.
Operation and Control
We believe we are justified in saying no other car in the world is so simple to master and easy to control as are the Ford Runabouts, Models "N", "R" and" S". Hundreds of these cars are driven constantly by ladies and misses, not to mention the youths of fourteen to eighteen years of age who use them. So far as we know there has never been an accident which was in any way due to the inexperience of the driver or to any other cause, even remotely associated with the control of the machine. A single lever at the side operates the low speed and the high, the movement being the simple backward and forward one with neutral position midway. The reverse is operated by a foot lever as before indicated. Spark and throttle levers are located at the right and left side, respectively, of the steering post just below the wheel, so that both can be operated by the index fingers without removing the hands from the steering wheel or releasing the hold on it even for a second. Having excess of power to meet all conditions the car may be driven at any speed from four miles per hour to its maximum speed of about forty miles per hour by simple throttle and spark control alone. Even for driving in congested city streets it is seldom necessary to use the brake or to disengage the clutch. The spark lever may be "slowed down" to a point beyond center and the throttle to the last notch, at which position the car will travel at a very slow pace and yet with plenty of power so that the engine will not labor nor jerk. The motor is easy to start, so that a lady has no difficulty in this regard, whereas to start a single or even a two-cylinder motor of anything like the same horse power would be an almost impossible task for a woman.
Model "N"-$600 F.0.B. Detroit.
Mr. Ford's original aim in designing his now world-famous four-cylinder
runabout was to build a stock model two passenger car that should combine the qualities
of strength, lightness, power, speed and hill-climbing ability with those of endurance
and economy of up-keep, and to clothe it in a body that should be "neat but not gaudy" and
one which should meet as nearly as that is possible, the tastes of average buyers.
It seemed as if 2500 of these would be ample for this season's needs, but we
fell short of the mark. Every Model R has now left the factory and the only ones to be had
are those which may be found here and there in the hands of agents and branches. It is too
late to build more---we cannot make and finish bodies and wheels in time.
Model "S" Specifications
MOTOR---4 cylinder, vertical, 4 cycle.
Vanadium Steel
For the past two years American motor cars have led the world in originality of
design, simplicity of construction and control; and Ford cars have always led the
American contingent.
So, while we used nickel alloys for want of something more adequate to our
special needs we were diligently searching for the ideal. At the same time we were widening
our market by means of prices that appealed to reasoning men. By thus enlarging our
market---increasing the demand for Ford cars---we made possible our plans for theretofore
undreamed-of quantity production of motor cars. Our steel consumption grew until now our
requirements amount to 280 tons per month. This placed us in a position to manufacture our
own steel and to make it from such formulae as will best meet the requirements in each
particular part---springs, axles, crank-shafts, gears, frames, etc.

Has anyone mastered the sprinkler ? I definitely lack the rhythm for this move. Bres and Colly look the masters to me.

Lol, Bresnan was actually class.
So long as he doesn't video what he and Broad do in private.
Then again, that's a matter for them.

This is awesome.
Great fun and shows they are a happy camp.Be great if one of the bowlers used the sprinkler as a celebration when they got a wicket.
Edit: I've been reflecting on this today. Quite apart from the quality of the video diary - and the sprinkler in particular - I really reckon it's an incredibly positive thing. The team has great people in it, and great staff around it - Saker, Mushy, Flower - and the spirit within the team seems excellent. And as for Swanny himself, this video gives an idea of the positive effect he has on the team. Can bat, can field, will be an enormously influential and positive team player - and is the best spinner in the world. I just can't believe our luck at his emergence.

Seahawks' Michael Bowie Prefers Chocolate, Boxers…And Miley Cyrus?!?
Everyone has a preference.
Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Michael Bowie let his be known during an intense game of "Either Or" at Super Bowl media day Tuesday. The Seahawks and Broncos took over the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey to answer questions — mostly about the Super Bowl — from the media.
Here are a few of his answers:
Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus?
"Miley…She's just my type of girl you know what I mean? Taylor Swift, you know she's too innocent for me."
Soda or pop?
"What's the difference?"
Truck or car?
Manual or automatic?
Black or white?
Chocolate or peanut butter?
"Tighty whities" or boxers?
Biggie or Tupac?
"I gotta go with Tupac."
Soccer or Football?
Really hairy or completely bald?
"Completely bald."
Bowie also weighed in on why he thinks football players don't wear cups.
"Those are overrated, they don't really protect nothing," he said. "You get hit hard enough, you're gonna feel it either way."
Listen to audio of Bowie playing "Either Or" here:

9 To 5 (1980) DVD
9 To 5 (1980) Director: Colin Higgins Writers: Patricia Resnick (story), Colin Higgins (screenplay) Stars: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda), a housewife whose husband has left her for his secretary, begins her own secretarial career at a huge corporation. Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin), a feisty, veteran office manager, instructs her on the perils and procedures of office life -- and of working for Franklin Hart Jr. (Dabney Coleman), their chauvinistic, sleazy boss, and his right-hand woman, the crisp, nosy Roz (Elizabeth Wilson). Meanwhile, Hart's endless attempts to seduce his happily married secretary, Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton), lead the entire office to think she's a trollop. When Hart unfairly passes Violet over for a promotion, she drowns her sorrows at a local bar with Judy and Doralee, who regales the others with tales of Hart's epic advances. Later, at Doralee's house, the women smoke pot, eat barbecue, and concoct hilarious revenge fantasies -- a rodeo hog-tie, a Wild West shootout, and a gothic Snow White scenario -- about killing their boss. When a mix-up leads the women to think they have accidentally poisoned Hart's coffee, they hatch a scheme to protect themselves by stealing Hart's body from the morgue. When he turns up alive, never having drunk the coffee, they must kidnap him to prevent him from blackmailing them or calling the police. The women then use the occasion of their boss' absence to effect some changes around the office.
