Stop pondering and book it!! We're going to both nights, prolly with John & Linda (whom you met at Rothbury). Call me to coordinate if you do come. We're most likely staying downtown at least one of the nights, and, as icing on the cake, 3/3 (second show) is Karen's Birthday!

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

Halr salon gives back this holiday season
Updated: December 6, 2012
"We haven't turned away any coat, we haven't turned away any need," said Kim Ingram.
She came up with the idea of the coat drive turning the salon into a temporary coat rack.
"Beth can't do pedicures right now because, as you see, we have no place for pedicures right now,"said Ingram.
The women simply asked for coats on Facebook.
"I would say by the end of the first week we had 30 new coats in the salon," said Ingram.
Since then they've gotten hundreds more.
"We had no idea what was going to happen," said Stahl.
"Our clients have been amazing," said Ingram.
Now they are looking to do some "winter" cleaning but they need your help first.
"As you can see we can help a lot more people," said Stahl. "We were called angels the other day and that's kind of neat."
"This has just been awesome and we're gonna do it again next year. We might have to get a bigger salon but we're gonna do it," said Ingram.
Anyone in need of an item should contact:

And the task isn't the easiest as the defending Class AA state champions open up the second half of their regular season.
The Jackets (5-0, 2-0) host Pepperell on Friday night at Phil Reeve Stadium. The Dragons (2-3, 2-0), the team Calhoun defeated last November in the 7-AA Region Championship Game, is expected by many to be the toughest opponent on the region schedule.
Calhoun coach Hal Lamb doesn't disagree with the talent and capabilities of Pepperell.
"They scare you," said Lamb. "They are bigger than any team we've played so far this year. And they're big up front on both sides of the ball.
"They're also well-coached, sound and disciplined so this will be a really good test for us."
The Jackets come into the showdown after a bye week in which Lamb said his team accomplished exactly what they wanted to coming into the week and got a head start on preparing for Pepperell.
"We had a good week," said Lamb. "We got some good conditioning in, but at the same time, we got some much needed rest. We also got some kids healthy that's been banged up over the last few weeks."
Calhoun should have offensive lineman Nathan Walraven, receiver Logan Walraven and linebacker Justin Harrison back for Friday's game after they were able to get back to close to 100 percent during the bye week.
The Jackets will be glad to have those guys back as they will need all hands on deck against Pepperell who looks to play a tough brand of football where they come at teams with wave after wave of physical, brute force.
It's been a battle of different styles the last few years in the series between the two teams as Calhoun has used their spread offense and up-tempo pace while Pepperell has tried to eat up the clock and shorten the game. Either way, the Dragons have been Calhoun's toughest challenger in the region for the last five or six years, developing a little bit of a rivalry between the two teams and fan bases.
Even with that being the case, Lamb said his team has to be focused on this game alone because of its importance in the region standings.
"I told the kids on Monday that this is the biggest game we've played so far this year, and that's the truth," said Lamb. "It has a lot of implications at the top of the region, and we can't afford to lose a region game, especially to Pepperell because I expect them to win their remaining games.
"The winner of this one will have the inside track on that No. 1 spot so it's a really big game."
Lamb said his team will have to get back to how they were playing earlier in the season in order to come out on the winning side of Friday's game.
"We've got to execute," said Lamb. "We can't play like we have our last two games. We have to execute better on both sides, especially on offense. And on defense, we've got to gang tackle. We've had too much one-on-one tackling the last few weeks, and we can't have that."
Lamb is right. This is the best team his Jackets will face in the region schedule.
Unfortunately for the Dragons, the drop-off between No. 1 and No. 2 in 7-AA is pretty big. Calhoun simply has way too much firepower for a Pepperell team that has struggled to put points on the board and keep opposing teams off it this season.
The Jackets should improve to 3-0 in the region and take one more step toward that 12th straight region title.
Calhoun 35, Pepperell 14

The promoterless vectors are available with three varieties of engineered firefly luciferase genes: luc2, luc2P or luc2CP. The luc2 gene is engineered to remove most cryptic transcription factor binding sites and improve mammalian expression through codon optimization. The luc2P and luc2CP and RapidResponse™ genes are luc2 genes appended with degradation sequences to influence the cellular half-life of the luc2 gene. The RapidResponse™ genes respond more rapidly to stimuli but at the expense of signal intensity. The luc2P (1-hour half-life) gene responds more rapidly than luc2 (3-hour half-life) with moderate signal intensity, and the luc2CP (0.4-hour half-life) responds more quickly with the lowest signal intensity. The promoterless vectors are available with or without selectable markers (hygromycin, neomycin or puromycin).

No one should hesitate from buying from Luke. His work is AMAZING! I just had him do some great work for me and it turned out better then anything I've seen done on this forum. He's definatly the new dealer to turn to when you need that custom job done in a hurry and at a professional level. I've never been as happy with a purchase as I was when I recieved my package from Luke. He even included a custom pair of his grip panels with rubber inserts as a special gift. His amazing work was good enough for me, but he went the extra step in creating some amazing pieces of paintball art that is both functional and stylish. I suport Luke and the work he does. Thank you.
Here are some pictures of some of the work he did for me:
He will be working on a few more projects for me very soon and I'll post pictures when they are done. Thanks again.

LITCHFIELD >> In a brief meeting Tuesday evening, the Litchfield Borough Board of Warden and Burgesses approved the endorsement of a letter on the isssue of yellow ribbons on the green that borough Warden Lee Losee sent to town officials and members of the press in September, and the board separately endorsed aspects of the letter that call for non-enforcement of the yellow ribbons tied around trees by military families and residents, and for all parties to be treated equally when it comes to displays.
"If one looked at the 169 towns and cities in the state, I think you would find the overwhelming majority have no ribbons on their Green or Park. It seems that they just don't allow them. One primary reason for this is that they understand the concept of unintended and unanticipated consequences," said Borough Warden Lee Losee in the letter to town officials and members of the press.
According to Mr. Losee's letter, a search on the Web site Wikipedia under "ribbons for a cause" will produce some 39 variations on ribbon colors covering over 160 causes.
"If we were to allow ribbons on public property for just such 'causes' it would be difficult for anyone to fairly select one worthy cause over another," said Mr. Losee in the letter. "A single ribbon, used as a symbol of expression and support for a specific cause or opinion, may open the door for the placement of other symbols of expression on the Green, including other colored ribbons, banners and message flags. Soon we would no longer have the ability to deny any sort of symbol of expression including temporary signs on our Green. Hence, the unintended consequences mentioned earlier."
Resident Laurie Parmentier, whose son Marine Sgt. Liam Dwyer was severely injured by an IED (improvised explosive device) while serving in Afghanistan last year, said it sounded like the borough board is opening the green up to allow anybody and everybody that wants to put ribbons up.
"It's for our military, and it would very easy to say, 'We limit the Memorial Green to the yellow ribbons and we can close the door to anybody else, whatever color,'" said Ms. Parmentier. "We say the Memorial Green is for our military and there is a way to say there are no other ribbons that could go up there and deteriorate the appearance of the green."
The board's attorney, James Stedronsky ,who entertained public comment during the meeting, told Ms. Parmentier that the board may be considering whether to pass some type of ordinance on this issue.
Mr. Losee said in the letter the use of yellow ribbons on Center Green is certainly not universally accepted.
"We have actually heard from a few veterans who feel they are not an appropriate symbol and therefore think they should not be flown," Mr. Losee wrote in his letter.
"I do think that the green is a very great part of our community, and I do like the idea that they have the yellow ribbons up, that they are not terribly detrimental to it and I hope that they would be allowed to stay," said resident Tom Gillman. Continued...
Resident Ann Combs questioned the procedures and the transparency of the borough board.
"I am concerned about transparency and how these decisions come about, when apparently there is no meeting in between the actions," said Ms. Combs. "How did these things happen under [Freedom of Information] legally?"
Resident Pat Thomas asked the board why the town's officials can't be leaders instead of followers.
"Why do we have to do what everybody else does? Why can't we decide for our own people that live here?" said Ms. Thomas.
Resident Gary Gillman said that there doesn't seem to be a lot of transparency, and that people suspect that there is a lot of business going on outside of the meetings.
"I would hope that the board would make a decision one way or the other so it's clear what's going on," said Mr. Gillman. "I don't think that the brown ribbons and the purple ribbons and the rainbow ribbons are an issue. ... This hasn't been pleasant for anyone, so let's close the door nicely."
No action was taken based on the comments offered Tuesday, nor did the borough board have any comment after the meeting.
The latest round of controversy over the display of ribbons on the green—echoing a similar one a couple of years ago that drew national press attention—began when families of some servicemen and women attended a meeting of the board in September, questioning why four of the five yellow ribbons were removed from trees on the green.
Eventually, those who championed the display of ribbons put new ones up, and after that Mr. Losee sent the letter that was discussed Tuesday.
"I am all for Freedom of Speech, I'm all for supporting the troops," said Mr. Losee on Tuesday morning. "I have a nephew in the service."

Unite for Freedom
From The Ghost Breakers. A 1940 classic with Bob Hope
oh...I was to comment on the comment Bob Hope said...lol...yes...I am a Democratic Patriot sticking close to the Constitution of the United States as it was originaly written and over the years I have seen and talked tio so many retired folks that had "Get the US OUT of the UN" stickers on their rear bumpers...these were such fine Americans..I am retired now and I have been so fortunate to have served such fine free thinkers as those of the WW2 era...and beyond...I spoke at UCR for a Socialogy Class and was
I used to work in Palm Springs area out of Cathedral City and I saw Bob Hope driving his powder blue Ford Taurus wagon...his covert ride...same style golf hat etc...what gave it away was he was coming out of his driveway of the mansion on the mountain side...yup it was he...lol...Sparky...
Loved it! So accurate. Seems democrats had a reputation even back than! Reminds me of the current Capital One commercial where the man is sitting on the bench next to the donkey and says"so you're a dumacrat". Love that commercial!.
Bod Hope, a true Patriot and accurately funny.

Working with fisherwomen in Xuan Thuy National Park
Every day, hundreds of local fisherwomen enter the mangrove forest in Xuan Thuy National Park to collect shells, mollusks, crabs, and other aquatic products. Although the law prohibits any kind of resource extraction in the core zone, the poor women who depend on these natural resources have no other choice. Up to six hours a day, they wade through the mud and water and end up earning less than US$3 a day. The overexploitation of aquatic products has resulted in increased scarcity and growing competition between the fisherwomen. … | Vietnamese

MOUNT PLEASANT – Several big hits last week resulted in Pedro Hernandez (Sr.-Quebradillas, Puerto Rico) winning the Midwest Collegiate Conference Baseball Player of the Week award, which was announced Monday by the conference.
Hernandez received the conference honor after a pair of game-winning hits last week led the Tigers to two home wins. He won the award for the first time in his career and is the first IWC baseball player to win the award this year.
The senior catcher/first baseman hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning on March 16 in the second game of a doubleheader against Hannibal-LaGrange (Mo.) College, giving the Tigers a 6-5 win in extra innings. Two nights later Hernandez again came up with the game-winning hit, smacking a bases-loaded two-run double in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Wesleyan a come-from-behind 8-7 win over Clarke College.
For the week Hernandez finished hitting .316 over five games with six hits and three runs scored. He finished with two home runs and six RBIs, and also hit a solo homer in the opening game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Hannibal-LaGrange.
In IWC's first 22 games, Hernandez is hitting .333 and leads the team with four home runs. He also has scored six runs and has 10 runs batted in.
For more information regarding the IWC basketball programs or any of the Tiger athletic teams, contact sports information director Adam Glatczak (319-385-6306 phone; 319-385-6384 FAX; email@example.com e-mail) or log on to IWC's athletics web site at www.iwc.edu/athletics.

SUMMERSVILLE, W.Va. — After dropping 10 consecutive decisions, the Hannan boys basketball team has now won two of its last three contests after claiming a 53-47 victory over Union in the third place game of the West Virginia Hometown Invitational Tournament held Friday night at Nicholas County High School.
The visiting Wildcats (4-16) picked up their first win of the season against a team not named Van, and Hannan did so with an impressive third quarter charge that turned a five-point halftime deficit into a two-possession advantage headed into the finale.
The host Tigers (12-5) jumped out to a 13-9 lead after eight minutes of play, then made a small 13-12 second quarter run to secure a 26-21 edge headed into the intermission.
The Wildcats, however, went on a 17-6 surge out of halftime, allowing HHS to claim a 38-32 lead headed into the fourth. Both teams traded 15 points apiece down the stretch, which gave Hannan its second win in five days and third place overall in the WVHIT.
Paul Holley led HHS with a game-high 18 points, followed by Brad Fannin with 13 points and Tyler Burns with eight markers. Kade McCoy and Ty Paige were next with six points apiece, while Tyler Jenkins rounded out the scoring with two markers.
Hannan hit four trifectas in the triumph and also went 11-of-16 at the free throw line for 69 percent.
Travis Murphy paced Union with 16 points, followed by Nathaniel Evans with seven points and Brandon Streets with six markers.

Vernon County Jail Inmate Trash Cleanup
By: Melanie Huonker
Updated: January 25, 2013
NEVADA, MO.---- "I know I've done some pretty bad things and it feels nice to give back to the community that I've taken away from," states Charles Stewart, Vernon Co. Inmate.
With trash bags in hand, inmates from the Vernon County Jail got out and about in Nevada. Charles Stewart didn't think twice about joining the program.
"I volunteered right away. I signed the papers as fast I could, to come out here and help the community," says Stewart.
The public cleanup isn't mandatory. Dereck Page also volunteered because he wanted to pitch in.
"It just boosts your self-esteem a little bit to be able to give back and help people for all the wrongs that you've done," states Dereck Page, Vernon Co. Inmate.
Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher initiated the work day for inmates. In recent years, inmates haven't been allowed to get out to clean up.
"Most of them are charged with a crime or have committed a crime, and they're sitting in jail. So we've given them the opportunity to get outside, pick up some trash and do a little work," states Sheriff Jason Mosher, Vernon County.
Last week, several inmates picked up trash along Highway 54, this week it's the Vernon County Recycling Center.
"Go through the timber, pick up all the trash there towards the railroad tracks," says Page.
Mosher says getting the inmates out in the public is a way for them to take action.
"Jail shouldn't be a spot where you can lay around and not work. We want the inmates to be able to get out there and give back to the community for committing the crimes that they've done," says Sheriff Mosher.
The sheriff says the inmates have even thanked him for allowing them to do service.
"I'm just grateful to have the opportunity to come out here and give back to the community," states Stewart.
Next, the sheriff wants to clean up parks throughout the county. If you live in Vernon County and would like a public area cleaned, contact the sheriff's office.

One guest on Katie even commented "You sure have a colorful audience!" It just looks a little weird to me, because if you ever go to a movie or concert, notice that more people dress in DARK clothing, or prints.

Legislation to pay state employees the back wages they are owed under the previous contract has been introduced. Make a call today to ensure it gets passed!
A union-backed plan to address the state's pension funding crisis could quickly become law if members of the state House press for its adoption.
In a second round of voting on a new union contract with the State of Illinois, AFSCME members resoundingly affirmed the ratification of the tentative agreement reached in late February.
Illinois House Democratic Leader Lou Lang ripped the extreme Chicago Tribune editorial board that backs pension-slashing Senate Bill 1, and the State Journal-Register editorialized for the union-supported compromise Senate Bill 2404.
More than 100 direct-support workers and allies lobbied lawmakers in Springfield to raise wages and improve care for those with developmental disabilities. See inside for photos and news coverage.
AFSCME and other unions are speaking out against Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to eliminate subsidized health care for most city retirees.
Efforts to put the brakes on privatization in the City of Chicago have run into a major obstacle – the City Council's Rules Committee. Call Committee Chair Dick Mell at 312-744-6825.
SB 2404, pension legislation endorsed by the We Are One Illinois union coalition, passed the Senate with overwhelming, bipartisan support on Thursday – calls are now needed to the House.
Pension-slashing legislation passed the state House, but hope remains for a fair, constitutional solution out of the Senate.
The AFSCME State Bargaining Committee has initiated an immediate re-vote on the newly-negotiated state of Illinois union contract because a condition of the settlement has not been completely met.
One of the biggest tax loopholes in Illinois allows multinational corporations to avoid taxes on money they make overseas – some $386 million annually.
Thanks to obstruction by Republicans in Congress, massive federal spending cuts are going into effect – and the impact on state and local government employees in Illinois could be substantial.
Workers killed or injured on the job will be remembered this weekend at events throughout the state in observance of Workers' Memorial Day.
School paraprofessionals in Rockford are speaking out to secure a contract that will help lift them all out of poverty.
Legislation that would close $445 million in wasteful corporate tax loopholes has been introduced with the backing of a dozen lawmakers in the House and Senate.
President Obama has announced a bipartisan group of nominations aimed at allowing the National Labor Relations Board to resume its work – but GOP obstruction threatens to derail the plan.
Attorneys in an AFSCME-backed lawsuit on retiree health care have filed an appeal in the Fourth District Appellate Court seeking to overturn a Circuit Court ruling that dismissed the suit.
Charles and David Koch – the wealthy brothers who have spent millions supporting anti-union candidates and causes – are out to establish a beachhead in state capitols, including in Illinois.
AFSCME members can save money by going with AT&T Wireless and support a company employing 45,000 unionized workers.
In Illinois retailers reap big rewards-- over $160 million in tax breaks – for merely obeying the law.

Erin Donaghue is a native New Englander and a resident of downtown Bethesda. She graduated from Emerson College in 2004 with a bachelor's in writing, literature and publishing and from American University in 2007 with a master's degree in journalism. She first caught the writing bug at 11, when she won a short story contest for American Girl Magazine. Since then, her work has appeared in Boston's Weekly Dig, The Gazette, The Washington Post and USA Today. She's been covering Montgomery County for three years as a local news reporter and is looking forward to tackling online journalism and delving into the issues in Bethesda with Patch. Her role model is girl reporter extraordinaire April O'Neil from the classic 1990s cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible and human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal certain key beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
This disclosure is not a license for our editors to inject these beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will force us to be ever mindful to write, report, and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you, the user, ever think you see evidence that we failed in this mission, we wholeheartedly invite you to let us know.
▪ How would you describe your political beliefs?
I'm not registered with a political party but I'm left-leaning in most of my thinking. I consider myself open-minded and am always willing to look at all sides of an issue.
▪ How religious would you say you are? Casual, observant, devout, non-religious?
I come from a Catholic background, but religion doesn't play a role in my life.
Local Hot Button Issues
▪ What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
To name just a few, education is always huge in this county. We're dealing with overcrowding issues in the B-CC cluster, as neighborhoods turn over and more families are attracted to Bethesda for its vibrant cultural opportunities, excellent public school system and proximity to the Metro. Traffic congestion is a way of life here, and the quality of our public transportation system is another hot-button issue as officials try to urge residents out of their cars. And the relocation of a portion of Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the National Naval Medical Center in 2011 is something that will affect everyone who lives or works in Bethesda.
▪ Where do you stand on each of these issues?
Though overcrowding does affect education, I think MCPS is doing a great job not only trying to work through the overcrowding issues but engaging stakeholders in planning for modernizations and boundary changes. I'm a big supporter of making investments in our public transportation infrastructure, and yes, I support the Purple Line. And in the heat of BRAC, I don't think we should lose sight of what a great honor it is for Bethesda to be home to a state-of-the-art facility treating our wounded warriors. That said, we're not ready for the kind of congestion that this move will bring, and I will be keeping a close eye on this issue as the move nears.

Connacht boss Eric Elwood believes Saturday's PRO12 clash with Munster is the perfect opportunity for his side to bounce back from their Heineken Cup loss at Biarritz..
The French outfit were 17-0 victors at Stade Aguilera, avenging their loss at the Sportsground a week previously.
Now Elwood, who made 168 appearances for the Irish region, is urging his squad to raise their game for the visit of Munster, a team they have beaten just once since 1986.
But he believes the fixture has come at the perfect time for his 10th-placed men who are all eager to return to winning ways.
"We want to bounce back in this big derby match," Elwood told the Irish Examiner. "When you play Munster you have to go toe-to-toe, and for us to do that we need to be able to choose from a near full squad.
"We know what is coming and what to expect so it's a good fixture for us to get, especially at home.
"We are looking forward to improving again on our intensity levels from last week because when you are playing a powerhouse like Munster, you certainly need to match them physically and have a level of intensity to your game."
As well as a poor record in past meetings with Munster, Connacht will be looking to arrest a run of just one win in their last five PRO12 games.
And having endured a long journey back from Biarritz, Elwood hopes returning to familiar home surroundings will boost his team.
"We went to Biarritz with high hopes but it was a long journey home," he said.
"We went over there hoping to play, but weather conditions dictated what we could and could not do and it just became a bit of an arm wrestle.
"We made a pretty bad error in defence and I thought their kicking game was very good.
"It was also pretty miserable weather when they played Zebre, so it's something they are used to and they have the artillery to be able to play in those conditions."
