Three Owen County residents are now in jail after a fisherman recently discovered an abandoned meth lab. Kentucky State Police Post 5 Public Affairs Officer Brad Arterburn said the lab was discovered May 4 near the intersection of Hwy. 355 and JN Lee Road in Perry Park. Arterburn said the fisherman reported the lab to state police and Trooper David Staubach was able to determine who the alleged suspects were after finding receipts and trash in the lab. Warrants were issued for the suspects arrests.
A final reading on five ordinances that will annex several roads into the City of Owenton was given May 7 and approved by the Owenton City Council. The council held a first round of readings on the ordinances that gave the state, which is considered the property owner, 60 days to oppose the move. No objection was raised and the city became free to adopt the measure following the second round of readings.
A rookie and a veteran of the Kentucky General Assembly looked back at this year's regular session. At a meeting of the Owen County Chamber of Commerce Thursday, State Rep. Brian Linder, R-Dry Ridge, and State Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, reflected on a session that will be memorable for each man. Linder was entering his first year in the Kentucky House of Representatives after succeeding long-time Owen County representative Royce Adams, D-Dry Ridge, while Thayer became majority floor leader in the Kentucky State Senate.
An Owen County man is expected to be sentenced in Owen County Circuit Court next month after he was found guilty of multiple drug charges May 1. James R. Thomas, 53, was found guilty of manufacturing methamphetamine; possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine; possession of drug paraphernalia; possession of marijuana; and first-degree persistent felony offender. According to court documents, Thomas was ordered to vacate the home he shared with his wife Brenda Thomas at 1675 Hwy. 35 on April 20 by Owen County District Court Judge Thomas Funk.
A fourth person was indicted May 7 on a drug trafficking charge following arrests made by the Owenton City Police last month. The arrests were part of a three-month investigation into illegal drug dealers and took place on April 17. Linda Oakley Taylor, 61, was indicted on the charge of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, hydrocodone. The arrests were part of a continued effort to clamp down on illegal drug dealers within the City of Owenton.
Charity truck pull to be held Saturday The Billy Tuggle memorial and benefit will be held Saturday at the Owen County Fairgrounds. A dead weight tractor pull will begin at noon and a truck tug at 7 p.m. Gate admission is $8. Kids 3 and under will be admitted for free. Concessions will be provided by the Heritage Power Club. All proceeds will go to the Tuggle family. For more information call 502-525-3044 or 859-576-7380. Visoneers to share "Living the Dream"
Summer is upon us, and for many, the season means at least one family vacation or weekend getaway. According to a 2011 TripAdvisor survey, 90 percent of Americans were planning to take two or more leisure trips within the next year and 24 percent were planning five or more trips. Of those surveyed, 79 percent said they plan to spend at least $3,000 on these vacations. As you start planning your next vacation, you can take precautions to keep yourself, your family, and your finances safe when you travel.

So does that mean we're going to be toggling between characters ala Heroes then? Some of the clips (like the swimming and flying parts) seemed like mandatory areas to pass with tails only...
Also, I guess that means the special stages are gonna be as rage inducing as Sonic 2's.
This is not an attack on you, but is there any reason people in general are too retarded to control two characters at once with mild combo moves? If it plays good (which it might not!) there should be no problem.
And how much autism do you need to absolutely lust for playing as Sonic or Tails alone? This is a game, not wank time to Sonic or Tails being your eye-dazzling, singular delight. If it pains someone so much that they have to stare at Sonic or Tails during a Sonic game, then they need to find something else to do.
Personally I want to play Sonic 4, rather than Sonic Heroes. I'm hoping the use of Tails is optional, and not required to get around obstacles -- though, it's surely going to be required to use him in the game.

4dr Sdn Man quattro 2.0T Prestige
Starting at $35,050 | Starting at 22 MPG City - 30 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Revised in 2008, the 2011 Audi A4 is a compact executive sport sedan and is also available in a wagon body style. Both versions are powered by a 2.0-liter, 211-hp Turbo I4, with your choice of a 6-speed manual, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic or continuously variable transmission. Power is put to the ground with standard front-wheel drive or optional Quattro all-wheel drive. Fuel economy with the CVT is up to 23/30 mpg city/hwy while 5-passengers are treated to a sophisticated and luxurious interior, optional Bang & Olufsen audio, Bluetooth, integrated music, NAV, vehicle controls and a comprehensive airbag system. All of these qualities make the A4 a high-value sport sedan with a fun-to-drive personality. Competitors include BMW 3-series and Mercedes C-class.
With its 2009 redesign, Audi upped the luxury performance-car ante with the A4. Its fresh face and benchmark interior distinguished it from its Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3-Series competitors, while its new dimensions made it the largest car in its class. Technological refinements for 2011 include an impressive 8-speed automatic transmission, and with the sure-footedness of Audi's world-class quattro all-wheel-drive system, a powerful engine, the availability of a wagon and the always-addictive performance of the S4 model, the lineup has a little something for everyone.
High-tech changes make their way into the Audi A4 for 2011. Among them is the introduction of a new 8-speed automatic transmission in the turbocharged 2.0-liter A4 quattro sedan and wagon, replacing the old 6-speed. Audi claims the new, compact gearbox is smoother and returns improved fuel economy.
The A4 is available as a 4-door sedan or as a 5-door station wagon, dubbed the Avant. Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which delivers 211 horsepower and 258 ft-lb of torque. A new 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission are available on quattro models, while front-drive models receive a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as standard equipment. Audi claims the new compact 8-speed is smoother and more precise than the outgoing 6-speed auto while returning better fuel economy.

Enterprises with software systems that fail to provide uncompromising support of their business processes cannot execute their business plans, causing them to fall short of their potential or fail altogether. Rogue Method is focused on helping enterprises solve these issues, so that systems once considered liabilities can be transformed into valuable assets that support business process and efficient operations. Correcting flawed systems or implementing new BPA systems help enterprises do more in less time and with fewer resources, improving revenue and profitability, and allowing your business to differentiate itself from the competition and compete more favorably.
Similarly, enterprises that have not adopted Mobile Applications can limit their reach and interaction with customers, vendors and employees. They are perceived publicly and internally as stagnant, dated and find themselves standing idly by while their competitors realize opportunities and achieve success. Enterprises who embark on strategic, focused and well-executed use of mobile applications strengthen their brand, realize tangible value and ROI and can have nearly limitless reach and interaction by redefining the where and how of their business model and operations.
The ongoing challenges of the global economic environment and shortcomings of ERP systems have fueled the adoption of BPA systems.
The universal mandate from management is to identify and resolve inefficiencies, discover new ways via process and systems to do more with less and to implement these solutions without losing focus on their core business. We recognize that ERP systems, such as SAP and Oracle, are the necessary data and transactional backbones of enterprises. However, management has realized, often quite painfully, that ERP systems have significant shortcomings that can hinder the enterprises business plan.
Recognizing these issues, management and IT teams have retooled their expectations of ERP systems and are increasingly looking to BPA solutions to fill in process or efficiency gaps that deliver tailored solutions that mirror their business process. Most importantly, they understand the strategic and competitive importance of having software systems tailored to support their business, rather than having the business adapt to support the system. Rogue Method builds BPA systems that work in coordination with ERP systems to help overcome these issues and ensure all systems work together seamlessly on behalf of the enterprise. We recognize that, in addition to functionality, features and user experience, the time and cost to implement can be critical factors in the success of a BPA initiative. As a result, we offer a number of ways to approach projects that address concerns over scope, integration, time to implement and budget.
Although mobile enterprise applications have not experienced the same rapid adoption curve of consumer applications, we believe that we're entering a golden age for enterprise mobile applications. In recent years, we've seen significant advances in tablet and smartphone performance, increases in broadband Internet connectivity, widespread Wi-Fi availability and 4G cellular networks. These advances, coupled with the availability of enterprise-class security and mobile device management suites, have brought about the right environment for enterprises to integrate mobile applications into their operations. And the rapid adoption of the Android platform and supporting hardware have given enterprises a formidable alternative to Apple devices and the iOS platform for those enterprises hesitant to adopt Apple products for competitive reasons.
Enterprises should look to mobile applications to help increase efficiency, expand the range and reach of their business and redefine how they interact with customers, vendors and employees.
For our mobile application development, we specialize in iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android platforms allowing us to leverage nearly all mobile devices used by enterprises and consumers.

A fatal shooting in Madera claims the life of a man, and family members are left mourning the loss.
One man was killed last night in what appears to be a gang related shooting in. Two others were injured, including an 8-year-old girl.
Three men have been arrested in connection to the shooting. Two of the men in custody are underage, and police say that makes this crime even more disturbing.
The reality is hard to grasp for 14-year-old Soccoro Vasquez.
"I was in shock, I didn't know what to do. I thought it was just like a joke or something," says Socorro Vasquez.
Socorro's older brother, 18-year-old Alejandro Vasquez, was murdered last night. Police say the crime was gang-related.
"I don't even know why they had to do that to him, like they wouldn't even care if he would die or not, they wouldn't even care," says Vasquez.
It happened on Wessmith Way, right around the corner from the victim's home. Vasquez was walking with some friends and arguing with a group of five people inside a car.
Madera Police Chief Steve Frazier says, "Words were exchanged, gang signs were thrown by both parties and we know that there were challenges to fight and the suspect produced a hand gun and fired off several rounds."
Yessica Alvarez watched it all go down.
"The people just came up to him and they started shooting at him. He told me to run," says Alvarez.
Vasquez was shot in the chest. Police say his brother was shot in the foot. The bullets also hit a third person; an innocent 8-year-old girl who was walking with her uncle some 40 yards away.
"She got shot that was a tragic event but she's home and we're very pleased with that. That she wasn't seriously injured or killed," says Chief Frazier.
Cecilia Lugo doesn't know the victims, but she still offered condolences to the family. Her teenage son was injured in a shooting just a couple of weeks ago.
Cecilia Lugo says, "It seriously has to stop. I'm really speechless about everything because this is a continuous thing, as though it's the thing to do nowadays."
Police say Luis Gonzalez, 18, was in the car where the shots were fired. He was arrested on probation violation. Two minors were also arrested in connection with the shooting.
Police say they don't believe the men in custody actually shot Vasquez. Chief Frazier says investigators are following strong leads and expect another arrest to come soon.

LITCHFIELD >> The winter storm budgets of two of Connecticut's largest towns – Litchfield and New Milford – were hit hard by this month's blizzard, especially the overtime budgets.
Nearly a quarter of Litchfield's overtime budget and a third of New Milford's were depleted, mostly during a three-day span.
Cleanup of the 16 inches of snow that Litchfield received cost the town between $30,000 to $32,000, according to public works director Jack Healy, with $14,000 of that accounting for overtime.
"This took up a big chunk of (the budget) right off the bat," Healy said. "It has implications, but you had to do it."
At 57.3 square miles in total, Litchfield is the seventh largest town in Connecticut. For this year, the town has a $60,000 overtime budget, according to Healy, and an $180,000 budget for salt and sand.
Healy said that from here on out, they'll have to watch the budget to make sure that they don't overspend. Exceeding the salt budget especially would mean that they would have to do less on other projects.
While Litchfield is the seventh largest town in the state, New Milford is the largest, coming in at 64.4 square miles total. Through last Sunday, overtime spending totaled $34,000, a number that has gone up to around $40,000 in the week since. New Milford's snow cleanup was originally budgeted $125,000 for the year.
"It is a vast area and we do need quite a bit of equipment out to save manpower to cover the area," New Milford public works director Michael Zarba said.
Zarba said that, like Litchfield, a sizable portion of the overtime budget in New Milford was eaten up, but the material costs were very manageable, given how successful they were at keeping people off the roads. The overtime costs, he said, were excessive given the length of the storm.
New Milford Mayor Pat Murphy said that the town will use a contingency account and make a request to have overtime money transferred into the winter overtime account. Continued...
Murphy also spoke about how New Milford's public works department coordinates with the town's hospitals during storms like these. If a doctor or nurse is needed, the snow plows will actually pick them up when plowing their streets and transport them to the hospital if the road conditions are bad enough to warrant it.
"I think that probably is one of the better things that we do during a big storm," Murphy said.
Murphy commended the public works department on the job that they did.
"I got so many compliments," she said. "I didn't even get one complaint. I'd have to say, that's pretty good for a municipality today."

Purchased an 'approved used' 2.7 V6 Automatic (3 ½ years old) from the Main Dealer complete with six month warranty (I guess this should have set the alarm bells ringing). Well impressed, lovely car to drive with stunning looks. Took it to the dealer for the mot; suspension problem £1'500.00. I later checked the DVLA website for the past mot; issued by the same dealer and noted the suspension problem as an advisory; I'd been sold a lemon. The electronic parking brake failed soon after £750 at independent garage. The suspension continued to be a problem, bearing failed, tyres endlessly replaced (worn on one edge). Lots of niggling electrical issues then catastrophy; turned key engine sounded strange, (no warning lights) engine off; car recovered to main dealer. Oil casing needs replacement £720 followed by sorry sir engine broken £10'000.00 (reconditioned unit), not impressed! Independent garage £7'600.00 can do the work once I've finished replacing the engine on the Landrover Sport. This is a common problem! Asked Landrover for a contribution, three days later Sorry Sir NO. Marvellous £23'000.00 worth of vehicle reduced to scrap in two years! Wish I'd never walked into their showroom.
We have an 11 plate Disco (so have had it 2 years now) and it is, hands downs, the best car we've ever had. It is luxurious, powerful, practical and has never missed a beat on snow, mud, sand, you name it...! Our local dealers have been very helpful every step of the way (although the car has only ever been in for its scheduled service), but that said, there is no denying it costs a lot to run (£365 for each snow tyre! Which we never bought and never needed). We have friends who have (more expensive) X5s, Merc MLs etc. but they are just not the car the Disco is. The extra seats can be put up and down in 20 seconds and there is still enough room behind them for a couple of small cases or a large-ish weekly shop (we have two growing boys!). If you have the money I really wouldn't think twice, whatever you have heard about older Discos does not apply to this car - it's fantastic!
I've had the SDV6 XS for just over a week and cranked out a 100 miles per day since I've had it. I had a 2009 Disco 4 XS before that. Sadly I sold that and spent a year driving a "regular" car and missed my Disco the whole time.
The old Disco 4 was no slouch, but the new power plant is so much better. Getting out at busy junctions or nipping past a slow moving vehicle on a twisting country lane is no problem at all.
As before, motorway cruising is sublimely comfortable and utterly effortless. I drove from Lincoln to Holyhead and then from Dublin to Cork in my old XS and was sad when I had to get out. The new XS feels every bit as comfortable and just as wonderful to drive. I'm 6' tall and not a small man in other ways too, but the seats are superbly comfortable. Add to that the huge windows and high up driving position making visibility second to none. It also makes a huge difference when driving at night too. No more being dazzled.
I had a couple of minor niggles on the older car but nothing major and they were sorted out quickly and without fuss by the dealer. Touch wood nothing on he new one.However the old car took a lot of punishment, through Irish bogs, moors and mountains. I know everyone moans at running costs and I know they are not cheap but quite frankly you are getting 3 cars for the price of 1. Executive cruiser. Unstoppable 4x4. Superb family wagon and work horse. Landy got it absolutely right. Why drive a car when you can drive a Land Rover?
Update. Car is now almost 3 years old and covered 66k miles. A couple of problems arisen since the last review but all dealt with vey quickly and efficiently by LR. The first was a total fail to start one afternoon - a simple reset of the ECU sorted that one and it hadn't happened since. The other was a turbo failure which resulted in a long journey (in time, not miles) in a very slow limp- home mode. 10days in a brand new rr sport courtesy car and a repair under warranty resolved that one. The vehicle is otherwise perfect- everything still works nothing has fallen off ( except the extremely poorly thought out cover for the towing electrics sockets) and it drives just as it did on day one. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Both of our other local newspapers had a story yesterday about the fact that Liz Kniss misused her credit card while a county supervisor.
Web Link
this was uncovered during an audit coming because of the Shirikawa scandal. The above article states:
"Kniss reimbursed the county for five credit-card charges totaling $569 that were not related to county business, and $150 for a dinner event hosted by the Bay Area Municipal Elections Committee, which is a political action committee and is not an allowable expense. "
The question is did Kniss reimburse beforehand or did she reimburse after the misuse was uncovered by the audit.
The big question is why the Weekly has not done a story on this matter. Given the close ties between the Weekly and our local political establishment (i.e. Kniss bought advertising space on this website during her recent council election campaign and received an endorsement from the Weekly), it is not surprising that they have chosen not to do an investigation into this matter. Or perhaps Gennady was too busy writing fluff pieces on our other council members.
Either way, Kniss should resign from her seat on the council.
Posted by Hmmm, a resident of East Palo Alto, on Jan 12, 2013 at 1:42 pm
You'd think that nowadays, officials would be paranoid about allegations of misuse, so that they'd be scrupulously careful NOT to misuse. Given Kniss's experience in politics, you'd think she'd have avoided such a freshman "mistake." I understand sometimes there might be some gray area in her job re who's responsible for a bill, but is that what happened here?
I recall a decade or so ago when members of the Ravenswood School District misused their District-issued credit cards as well. I don't think the DA charged any of them, but I especially recall Chester Palesoo doing this & he'd also just been charged w/a misdemeanor sex crime.
Posted by Not surprised, a resident of the Southgate neighborhood, on Jan 13, 2013 at 1:53 pm
The only thing that surprises me is that she was allowed to run for office again, and worse, that she was actually elected. She has too many conflicts of interest and too many other vocations to do a good job now.
Posted by Henry, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on Jan 14, 2013 at 11:17 am
The voters of Palo Alto time and again elect City Council Members that are attractive, well spoken, politically savy, and financially connected to developers, Stanford, labor unions, and other local big money interests. This list of so called desirable traits does not include loyalty to the voters. The only exceptions on the current Council are Holman and Schmid.
We the people, need representatives who conduct the business of the city in the best interest of the city and ALL the people who live and work here. They represent ALL of us, not just the elite few who wield the power in their own best interest.
Posted by Princess Liz?, a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Jan 23, 2013 at 10:55 pm
Really now, you can't expect someone who is that rich to keep track of whose money she is spending. Princess Liz handed out flowers to her campaign supporters on the night of her installation as a council member earlier this month. Self importance is her style in everything she does.
She has bought off a lot of people along the way. They voted for her.
Posted by Princess Liz is right, a resident of the Palo Alto Hills neighborhood, on Jan 24, 2013 at 3:19 pm
Well said, Princess Liz?, still waiting for the Weekly to do a story on it--probably will never happen--she has spent plenty on ads in the Weekly last election season and the weekly will not bite the hand that feeds them. Or maybe gennady is too busy still paying homage to greg scharff ("oh, greg, you are such a wonderful council member. You have such a wonderul smile. when I grow up, I want to be a reporter")

I was a passenger on AA Sunday June7 flight 4462 when the pilot announced before takeoff that the air conditioner was broken but he felt quite sure that once we got up the temperature would cool down a bit Well, it didn't so we rode in very warm cabin air for 2 hours. I then got up to go to the laveratory and after using the commode found a hand written sign at the sink saying the water was not working -please use a wipe. I find both these services unhealthy and unsafe. It left you with the feeling what else is going to go wrong next. As an owner of a multimillion dollar international manufacturing business I feel I am due some sort of compensation. If there were mechanical problems before takeoff another aircraft should have been brought in or this one reapired before take-off. Quite unexceptable for major airlines. The passenger by me was also voicing concern. Linda 2 free tickets anwhere in US on airlines of my choice
Oh my goodness... what a self righteous reply. I too have had really horrible experiences on AA... hell with prettymuch any carrier nowadays. But I never thought I was *privileged* enough to expect suchcompensation for what you show to be a minor inconvenience. I'd rather be a few degrees warmer during the flight, than 3-4 hoursdelayed. And as another person said, if you are truly the owner of such abusiness, you should have elite status which lets you have theseupgraded rights anyhow. Or go rent a private jet, ;) then you don'thave these things to worry about.
If you own such a company, why don't you have a private jet?
The alternative would have been to cancel the flight or a several hourdelay. Which would you rather have?
because you are an owner of anything? The situation should dictate what you are owed, if anything, not howself important someone thinks they are.
I hardly belive that a non working A/C and a non working sink is asafety hazzard. Inconvience yes. I also dont see it being unhealthy. I dont use the water to wash my hands on a airplane anyways, I usehand sanitizer. I mean where does the water come from that is beingpumped into the sink?
Oh my goodness gracious! Do I feel for you! This is totally, totally*unacceptable*. 2 free tickets to anywhere in the US is the least theycould do for you. Absolutely!
Linda, if you were flying by yourself when this happened (you didn'tmention a companion) why are you asking for 2 free tickets?
This flight was actually operated by American Eagle Airlines, notAmerican Airlines. AA simply sold you the ticket as a code-shareagreement. I disagree that there were any safety risks. AC and running water arenot necessary. "what else is going to go wrong next." The airframe and powerplant mechanical issues are completely separateof cabin mechanical issues. Anything about the airplane itself or the engines related to flyingand handled by certified mechanics, and everything is checked offbefore each flight. In-Cabin maintenance and PM issues are likely handled by a completelydifferent department separate of the critical skilled aircraftmechanics.
Many people (not all) who have "acheived" "elite" or "elevated" statusin our society feel entitled to things, or try to make it seem thatthey know more than you do about your job. If I had a dollar for thetimes I have heard "I'm a Doctor/Lawyer/Professor or I manage acompany/I'm in customer service/I own my own business I swear I'd berich. For me specifically, I manage a car rental company-so unless you own acar rental company yourself, got your Doctorate in Car Rental, orpassed the State Car Rental-Bar exam, chances are I know my job andbusiness a whole lot better than the customer does. I'm the president of the Northeast Book Readers and Bagel club, do Iget something for free? If not, I'll take our business elsewhere. :) Seriously though, and off the soapbox-what you described are not"mechanical" problems-but minor issues. Yes, they were a pain to dealwith, I'll agree with that. I think American owes you an apology,which will come in the manner of a standardized form, I am sure. Idon't think they will give you anything more-and I agree with them onthat-maybe if you have FF miles they will add some to your bank.
So if it was me (who is not an "owner of a multimillion dollarcompany" - I wouldn't be entitled to anything???? As the owner ofthis company-wouldn't you have a private plane?
An owner of a "multi million dollar company" would surely be happy toultimately arrive safe and on time. Sounds like a tyrant (oops tirade)to me.
Sorry to hear about your uncomfortable flight. From your letter it sounds like it was a short flight. The kindtypically taken by business commuters with strict deadlines to meet.The switch to a 2nd plane would have taken quite a bit of time, it'snot like they have a 2nd empty backup plane just behind yours in casesomething is slightly amiss. Air travel is highly regulated and the government requiresinspections. I highly doubt there were other more serious mechanicaltroubles you didn't know about. But, I see how it could feel that way.Sink water and AC are creature comforts that don't effect safe timelyair travel (I think they are even completely independent from anyother operation on the plane). How other passengers do you think formally complained about this? Howmany more do you think would have complained if the flight was delayedover this and they missed their meetings? Two free tickets on an airline of your choice seems a bit much. Moreappropriate compensation would be something like airline miles, apartial discount on this flight, or maybe a discount on a futureflight. Best of luck in reaching an amicable resolution.
Just curious, what do you feel someone who DOESN'T own a multi milliondollar business is entitled to? Anything?
that they would even take off with multiple mechanical issues likethis! I was delayed on a flight from Chicago/O'Hare to Clevelandbecause of a burned out landing gear light. Seriously! A light bulbwas out and we waited in the terminal for 2 additional hours! Makesme wonder what else was wrong with the plane that they DIDN'T tellthem about! But I think most people are taking issue with your suggestion that youare somehow so valuable that you are due compensation for theinconvenience. American's only responsibility is to give you safetransport to your destination. Nothing more. While there are almost always glitches and inconveniences whentravelling, none of them entitles you to anything, no matter WHO youare.
General Motors.
Do you feel you are entitled to special benefits that the rest of usaren't? I mean, I don't own anything but a sub-million dollar homeand some vehicles, sadly none collectable. But I thought that eachpassenger was afforded the same rights. Those rights don't includemuch free for broken air conditioning and a broken sink. Maybe freebeverages. Free tickets, no. Very warm is a lot different than"hot". I don't know where the "free tickets on an airline of my choice"requests originated, but I would think a person would be thrilled justto get free tickets on *any* airline. As the owner of multimillion dollar whatever, I would think you wouldhave your own, meticulously maintained company jet. I was alsosurprised that your company is international, but you wanted onlydomestic tickets.
Hum, I'm not sure an uncomfortable 2 hour flight is worth 2 ticketsanywhere in the US. Maybe a partial refund on your ticket at best. From what I read,there weren't any actual damages, other then your feeling that thingswere't right. You don't mention getting sick from the lack ofhandwashing, nor from the warm cabin. Nothing else did go wrong, inspite of your concern. I can imagine a letter from one of your fellow passengers if they haddelayed the flight, talking about how bad the airline was for delayinga 2 hour flight for such minor things...
1. I don't think your owning a large company entitles you tocompensation -- if you are owed compensation, it's for theinconveniences you encountered during your flight. 2. Sounds like it was a two-hour flight. I suppose they figured fewpeople would use the restrooms, especially considering that there'd bea chunk of time at the beginning and end of the flight where bathroomusage would not be allowed (since there'd be no walking around thecabin at those times). 3. I don't think passenger jets use air conditioning. In fact, I'mquite sure of it. They simply bring in the *very* cold air from theoutside atmosphere. Something seemed to have been wrong with thatsystem. 4. What if you and other passengers had been given an option: "Wehave a plane ready to go, but it will be warm as the air circulationsystem is malfunctioning, and there will be no water for washing yourhands. If that is acceptable, this flight will take off in 30minutes. If that is not acceptable, another plane will be readied atthe soonest opportunity, which could be anywhere from two hours fromnow, at a minimum." Wouldn't most people be willing to put up with acouple of minor inconveniences in order to reach their destinationsthat much sooner? I know I would. I don't think you're owed two free roundtrip tickets, but you'resurely free to ask for anything you want.

Hi Trinity!
I read a post about how you beat two kinds of cancer with raw (congrats!) My mom just got finished a horrible chemo for hodgekins, and now has to do radiation. She is really not looking forward to it, but is too scared to trust raw 100%. So she was going to try and do both. Her doctor told her not too eat healthfully because the antioxidants will counteract the radiation (I know. I know)
Did radiation + raw work for you???? If it did, great! Thats what she wants to know!!!

My uncles '66 autocar is pretty rough but for $2000 with new cables, blocks and alot of lift hardware you cant complain.
That's a pretty cool and cheap way to load an old Cat. That looks like an old oilfield rig? I usually try and source a big loader or a tractor-mounted crane for dead Cats. Here's a long-dead RD-4 that I picked up for parts this week .. the big Kobelco loader didn't have any problem lifting the RD-4 carcass onto the truck ..
The farmers lent me the Kobelco to load the Cat .. but I never got any pics of loading it, 'cos I was the only one there .. the farmers were busy with sheep-handling, and only turned up after I had it all loaded and chained down.

You have a nice truck to haul your Cats around it. It looks like a Barnum and Bailey Circus wagon driving into town with it's wild Cat caged up. Nice find.
SSsssteamer - LOL! .. yeah, nice little truck .. but it ain't mine .. .. For AU$85 a day, plus AU$0.27c a km, I could have it as long as I wanted ..
It was almost new, it had 7600 km (4700 miles) on the clock .. and it ran like a scalded cat. Turbo diesel, 4 litre, auto, bullbar, gates, driving lights, and disc brakes all round, it could do 130 kmh (80 mph) easy .. but don't tell any lawmen that .. .. I even passed a Big Hino, up a hill, at 110kmh (68 mph).
He was empty, and I was loaded .. and I think he got a surprise ..
It was a shame I had to take it back the next day .. I could have enjoyed a few more days, with that nice cold A/C, good stereo, and the "D for Drag" transmission ..
The RD-4 nearly went to China .. but thanks to an ole fella, he stopped the fools, and advertised it instead .. so I grabbed it.
It will be parted out this week, and I have several people waiting on parts from it.
The head, pony and fuel injection equipment is gone .. but all the rest of the drivetrain is still there, and there's a lot of useful parts there for other Aussie Cat restorers.
The little undercarriage that is left, is the most worn out undercarriage I have ever seen .. I reckon I could shave with the rails, and every second pin is welded in. Those guys sure got their $$$'s worth out of her ..
Rental Hino .. http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/4085/woodyrd44.jpg
Nice Rigging Truck!
At times I wish I still had my old one!
What is that screen at the base of the windshield for?
Bug screen? LOL!
GWH - That's a stone screen. We use crushed 3/8"-1/2" bluestone rolled on top of a thick coat of bitumen (asphalt) for 90% of our roads, to keep costs down .. rather than a fully-coated Hot Mix. This results in the bluestone initially being held in position, less firmly, than in a full-coat, Hot Mix surface.
As a result, there's usually a moderate amount of loose stone, particularly after road surfacing .. and flying stones from vehicles travelling in the opposite direction, are always a cracked or broken windshield hazard.
We have hardly any divided roads in Australia, so passing is close .. and often people travel too close to the sealed road edges. In addition, there are still sizeable amounts of Aussie sealed roads that are only "1 and half lanes" of seal .. meaning that passing involves pulling one set of wheels off the sealed section, and onto the ironstone gravel shoulder.
In all these cases, flying stones are a windshield hazard, and these aluminum stone guards have been proven effective in reducing windshield cracking, chipping (in the case of laminated glass), and broken glass, in the case of safety glass.
Fortunately, safety glass is rarely used nowadays in windshields, as laminated is far superior, longer lasting, and allows you to keep driving comfortably even after a large stone strike.
Add many road trains to the above (double trailer and triple trailer road trains are common in Australia), and you have an increased chance of stones being flung up. I was passing an average of probably 20-30 road trains an hour, on my return trip of 500 kms (300 miles) from the city to the wheatbelt.
Australian road surface .. http://karencheng.com.au/images/camp07_02.jpg
They do a similar thing with the secondary/town roads here, but the stone aggregate is fine, I forget the sieve size, but have worked with these companies installing that type of asphalt paving, used to run the stone truck, spreading the stone onto the bituminous material, takes awhile before the loose material has settled out, never saw it done with larger aggregate, especially any higher speed road types, those screens would certainly be a necessity.
The Gorman Group video, showing the "chip seal" sealing method .. is precisely the same method, as used on the sealing of most country Australian roads .. where distances are vast, traffic levels are relatively low .. and roadbuilding costs need to be kept down.
In the Australian cities, thick layers of the Hot Mix emulsions (typically 1½"-2" thick) are used, because of the heavier volumes of traffic, and the higher funding levels available for these roads.

Hi There!
First, congratulations! How exciting! Half way there is great. I hope you are eating healthy and getting planty of rest. Your body is working hard at this baby growing stuff:)
I have had horror stories about nurses as well. I have also heard wonderful nurse stories too. I have three children and all of my birth experiences were different. The first time I was there for three nights and the help from the nurses was great. I often wondered how I would have done it without them.
The second and third time I was there one night. I asked my doctor to let me go home asap.
I have learned that with anyone, not just nurses, you can kill them with kindness. If you find that a nurse is a little hard on you, look her in the eyes and tell her how much you apreciate her helping you and how nice it is that she shared this experience with you. There is always a bad apple rolling around somewhere, but for the most part, nurses love their job and they are happy to be there for you.
I happy to hear that you are educating yourself about breast feeding. You can make a good choice for you and your baby once you are educated.
Let me know if you have any questions. I breast fed all three of my kids. I am no expert but I will tell you this. I didn't like breast feeding to begin with and my goal started at six weeks, then I moved it to three months, then six months and before you know it I had breast fed my baby for a full year. I actually felt guilty trying formula. I just wanted what I believed to be the best for baby.
Make sure you are doing what is best for you and your baby. Either way, your choice :)
Look forward to seeing you around the community.
Hi Laurie! Welcome! Tammy had some great advice for you. There is also an article on Parents.com titled 14 Things You Didn't Know About Breastfeeding that you may want to check out. I've included the link below.
One thing I was told and am a firm believer in, is the nurses are not always up to date on breast feeding techniques or new info. I'm not saying they don't know what their doing. The training they've had was generally the info they learned when went through nursing school and depending on how old your nurse is that may have been awhile. And breast feeding information is constantly changing.
Breast feeding unfortunately is a missed category in the medical field. Every time I had a question my dr obgyn was clueless the peds dr didn't know. And I'd get conflicting answers from the nurses. But the lactation consultants are the most knowledgable and up to date. Check to see when or if your hospital has one and make sure to make a requests to see her as soon as baby is born. I requested one to come by every day just to double check. If you get home and still have questions. Look into a birth to three program usually they have great lactation consultant contacts and sometimes have breast feeding clinics. Also the la lecha league is an awesome support for questions. I called several times.
I would look into a breast feeding class before baby is born. My dh took it with me and he was a great help because of it. I also had one nurse or lactation consultant can't remember which recommend to put that lotermine (nipple cream) on about 3/4 months before giving birth to help toughen up your nipples. I'm going to try that as well this time around. And if you get cracked nipples in the hospital and they just give you lotermine ask if you can get some meds for the cracks the lotermine doesn't help heal those.
If you hadn't noticed Im pro nursing. I had a goal to nurse my son until he was at least 1 but would go as long as 2. And at 2 1/2 I finally got that boy off of me. Lol. It's not always the easiest task but stick with it. Don't be afraid to ask for help no matter how many times they've helped you. Make sure you are comfortable, it will eventually get easier.

I'm sure you will be a great mom! I have heard horror stories about breast feeding as well, but it's going to be well worth it! Breast feeding provides so many benefits to the baby that formula doesn't. I think I'm going to breast feed, as well.
hello all
I have a quick question on breast feeding. I will be a new mommy in April and am planning on breast feeding. My husband is concerned that if I breast feed heI will not beable to feed. I told him that I will pump so he can be apart of it all as well. I just need some recommendations on when it's ok to start to pump so my husbandcan feed. Also any recommendations on good bottles that are good to switch from breast to bottle feeding.
Hi Shannon,
Congratulations! It's great that your husband wants to participate in feeding baby. Even if you strictly breast fed, there are so many ways dad can be an active part of caring for baby.
I breast fed and pumped at times as well. My husband would feed when I had a bottle ready but most of the time he would do the burping and then baby would sleep in his arms. Dads just need to be reminded that there is plenty of love to go around :)
As far as bottles go, it's trial and error as well as personal preference.
I have three children. One never took to a bottle. The other two did fine with any bottle.
Here is some more information about breastfeeding that may be helpful.
Thanks Tammy. Those are some good suggestions. He will totally like that.
