I Just GOTTA Get This Out-Sorry!!!September 9, 2008 at 9:49 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 4 Comments
I just HATE the Jonas Brothers SOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people say OMJ, like EWWWWWWW! OMJ stands for Oh MY Jonas!!!!!!!!
See, I don't even know why people that are HORRIBLE singers like them have a career!!!!!!
They're the WORSE band EVER!!!!!!!! They shouldn't even be a band!!!!!!
The only people that like the Jonas BRothers are girls ONLY because they're cute, which they aren't at ALL!!!!!!!!!
They don't deserve all the fame when all their songs are like the song, always having Hey in them and the same beat!!!!!!
And I swear, barely any boys like the Jonas Brothers, the only boys that do are gay or whatever!!!!!!
Sorry, I just had to like vent my feelings cause everyone things they're "so good" even though they're terrible!
It's just my strong opinion obviously!
It's just:
Nick's voice is too high pitch, Kevin's voice is too low, and JOE, OMG, JOE breathes after EVERY single word he "sings"! Which makes it sound soooooo bad!
the end!

I like them both, and it would brake my heart to see what you might say about them! NOT SAYING AT ALL that you would be this harsh, but still, some people like those bands.

I didn't get on the treadmill after work yesterday as planned, but what I did do was run up 3 flights of stairs several times during my work day. I believe that I am going to incorporate this practice into my daily work routine by trying to do it once each hour of the day. I stayed true to my planned diet and did not over eat at each meal. The results showed up this morning with an excellent morning glucose reading and lower body weight.
We may not all have a set up stairs in our work place, but if we do it is an excellent way to get up from the desk and get our motors running. Even without the stairs there are still other strategies like taking a quick paced walk for just a couple of minutes. It may not only be good for our health as many workforce specialists have agreed that breaking away from the task at hand every so often is good for mental clarity with whatever task we are working on. After sitting for so long it is good to get your blood flowing throughout your body and pushes extra oxygen to not only the brain, but all organs and systems of the body.
Just the same way I believe that success will measured in my workout routine through consistency rather than overall effort, I also believe that incorporating a daily routine of getting up and moving once an hour will prove to be extremely beneficial over the long run. So let's Rock It in the workplace!

Citizens discuss effectiveness of youth programs, future of local kids
Though it's been months since Dover has seen a serious gang-related violent crime splashed across the headlines, concern about the issue is still percolating in the city.
Those in attendance at a public issues forum held Feb. 23 by the Dover Human Relations Commission expressed their worries for the future of the city's youth, and the creeping local gang problem's impact on children of all ages.
Gerald Rocha, a Magnolia resident, told the commission that the community needs to do something to divert kids' interests away from what can seem like a glamorous gang lifestyle.
As president of the local alumni chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Rocha volunteers and mentors at William Henry Middle School in Dover, where he said students have to be watched closely while they use computers in class.
Frequently, Rocha said, he'll see kids Googling gang signs, graffiti, and pictures of the clothes and accessories gang members wear.
For Rocha, what he's witnessed is more than enough evidence to prove Dover's gang problem is serious and growing, even though others may argue that the issue still is just a budding nuisance in the area.
"It looks like it's being revered in the community," Rocha said. "When are we going to throw the cards on the table and admit it? We have a problem."
Rocha and others who attended the forum agreed that children in Dover need early intervention to keep them from being attracted to gangs, which often serve as a surrogate family and provide a sense of belonging to young people facing uncertain futures.
For Human Relations Commissioner member Dawn Allen-Pyne, tackling the problem means cutting through the blame that's often leveled on parents and teachers. While strong parenting certainly helps, and good teachers can definitely impact their students' lives in positive ways, it's the children themselves who need to be forced to step up, she said.
"When are they going to be responsible for themselves?" Allen-Pyne said. "When are they going to hold the students responsible for the students' actions?"
Rocha said that kind of personal responsibility needs to be developed at a young age.
"We have to come up with something in early development, childhood," he said. "Teach them to want to learn."
Dover resident Jeremy Kopp agreed with Allen-Pyne's observation, but said it appears many schools are being counterproductive by expelling at-risk students for behavior problems, which only makes them more likely to end up in the streets.
"They don't allow teachers to teach anymore, you are a babysitter," he said. "They'd rather expel somebody."
Kopp also said after-school programs like those run by the Boys and Girls clubs are productive outlets for kids outside of school, but they have to avoid becoming "babysitters" as well, and do more to emphasize family involvement.
"If you have a program after school, bring your dad, bring your mom," he said.
A pair of Dover City Council members also attended the forum and shared information about ongoing work in the city that may help provide the kind of productive, engaging youth programs that the community is asking for.
At-Large Councilman Tom Leary said the Dover Boys and Girls Clubs are moving forward with a plan to build a new activity center on city-owned land at Schutte Park, west of downtown.
The 10-acre plot, Leary said, is being donated by a landowner in conjunction with a state project to realign Wyoming Mill and Hazlettville roads. Money to build the new center will include funds raised by the Boys and Girls Clubs as well as federal stimulus dollars.
Councilman Gene Ruane gave a brief description of the new Dover library project, which currently is under construction.
Ruane said the library's expanded children's section and new teen loft will provide a safe gathering place to socialize, work on school projects and participate in programs.
"We recognize that they need a place to go," he said. "I think [the library] is a refuge."
Rocha said whatever strategies are employed to direct kids away from gangs, the community has the ability to band together and make the effort.
"Dover's small enough where we should be able to fight back," he said.

Does anyone else feel at a loss now the games are over? Sure, I have other things to occupy my time, but I miss chatting to strangers about Mo Farah's victories and seeing 'Go Team GB' painted across foreheads as Union Jack flags hang out of ears.
It's in times like these I turn to food. I not only cook and eat it, I reflect on recent meals that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. My dinner at Daphne's is a case in point.
Daphne's is a smart, white tableclothed Italian in Brompton Cross, between Chelsea and South Kensington. The area sets off price alarm bells. It's not somewhere to go if you're not prepared to pay a small food fortune.
When faced with prices like these, The Boyfriend and I share where we can. The menu was divided the Italian way into Antipasti, Paste e Risotti (Primi), Secondi and Dolci.
With our 'pre-holiday' sharing hat on, we picked one Antipasti – Beef Carpaccio with Rocket & Artichoke. I knew the flavours would go well together, so there were no surprises with this dish. The portion was perfect for sharers and the effect was delicately simple, which is what you're after from carpaccio.
The mains were an exception to the sharing rule. We both picked our favourites, which for me was Linguine Alla Vongole and for The Boyfriend was Pappardelle con Ragu di Cinghiale.
You could tell the pasta was made fresh that day as it wasn't used as a vehicle to carry the sauce. My Linguine was generously doused in clams that flavoured the garlicky sauce perfectly. The Boyfriend also had an ample serving, this time of sweet, tender shredded wild boar.
Before Sicily, I didn't see how Italians could eat a meat or fish dish after so much pasta and Antipasti. Now I'm back with a stretched stomach, it seems more understandable. Obviously Daphne's was pre-Sicily, so we skipped Secondi and launched straight into Dolci, sharing Torta al Fromaggio con Frutti di Bosco – a prettier way to say cheesecake.
Pudding really stood out for me. The Boyfriend preferred the traditional set up, but I loved the way the cheesecake had been mixed together a la Eton Mess. The sweet fruity sauce stopped it being dry and the biscuit remained crunchy despite mixing it with the soft creamy goodness.
Daphne's gets a LLE Rating of 7.5/10. I would have given it more if it weren't for the prices – our meal with one bottle of wine was nearly £100 – and slightly outdated decor – white tablecloths really aren't my cup of tea.

Civic Memorial Eagles
EAGLES SET NEW BENCHMARK FOR WINS — The Civic Memorial Eagles set a new benchmark for their program on Wednesday at Spencer T. Olin Golf Course.
The Eagles shot a 168 to beat Granite City's 185 and set a school record in wins, improving to 23-2. The previous best was 22-6 in the 1987 season.
Alec Hilliard garnered medalist honors for CM with a 3-over par 39. J. Ryan Waters (40), Konnar Loewen (43), Eric Howes (46) and Parker Calvin (46) rounded out the scoring for the Eagles.
CM was supposed to play in the Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament today at Belk Park Golf Course in Wood River, but due to rain the tournament has been pushed back to Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9 a.m. at Belk.
The Eagles will participate in the Class 2A Roxana Regional at Belk on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
CM TAKES THIRD IN MVC TOURNEY — The Civic Memorial Eagles finished third in the Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament on Wednesday at Belk Park Golf Course in Wood River.
The Eagles fired a 387 as a team, trailing only Highland (353) and Waterloo (376). The rest of the field rounded out with: Mascoutah (405), Triad (411) and Jersey, which only entered three golfers, not figuring into the team scores.
Highland's Emily VonderHaar was the overall medalist with a 77. CM was led by Sara Gwillim with an 87. Gwillim's score was third overall individually. The remainder of the CM lineup saw Kayla Slavens shoot 95 — 11th overall individually — Izzy Roberts fire a 97 and Angelina Bailey and Lisa Logterman both card 108s.
CM will be a part of the Class A Marquette Regional on Oct. 8 at Spencer T. Olin Golf Course inside Alton's Gordon Moore Park.
ROXANA WINS THREE — The Roxana Shells compiled an impressive first day at the Morrisonville Tournament on Wednesday.
The Shells defeated Bunker Hill 27-25, 25-23, Mulberry Grove 25-6, 25-14 and Edinburg 25-11, 25-14 to go 3-0 on the tournament's opening day.
Roxana elevated its season mark to 14-8 with the trio of victories and will compete in the championship bracket of the tourney on Saturday.

A trading friend of mine asked my opinion of CME here at the current levels …
CME – Monthly Chart
The monthly chart shows what a nice run CME has been on … however, you always have to be aware of obvious pivot lows/highs as all traders would surely also be aware of these levels and be willing to trade against them.
The monthly chart's relative strength vs the SPY ETF indicator (upper-right chart) shows that while price is making new monthly highs on this current run, relative strength is lagging. R/S momentum is also flagging.
Overall, the monthly chart highlights the fact that this swing trade is long-in-the-tooth.
CME – Weekly Chart
The weekly chart shows how price is making new highs after a several week consolidation pattern … one of the key factors that determine how profitable a trader can potentially become is how good of entry points is that trader taking in his swing/positional trades. I don't really care to take swing trades on momentum break-outs … I will definitely take intra-day trades and possibly smaller positional trades on break-outs, but generally I like to take swing/positional trades in support on completed wave structures, and on consolidations that appear near completion during strong/trending moves.
CME – Daily Chart
The daily chart shows the finer detail of this weekly break-out. Look at the numbered daily candles 1-7 that made that weekly resistance level break. Candle #1 made a clean break and close above an obvious resistance level of the weekly chart/daily consolidation pattern. Candle #2 was the short-term traders testing the conviction of that break-out … they actually opened the stock slightly lower and pushed all of the way below candle #1's prior low. Most retail traders playing the break-out would have placed their stops below that break's daily candle – the machines and algo's always are testing price patterns for weakness!!
Instead of really putting the boots to the weak longs break-out traders, the sellers actually lost control on candle #3 when price pushed back up and actually closed higher above the prior break level. Candle #4 saw an even bigger gap to test the strength/willingness to fight in the sellers.
Candles #5-#7 was just a good old fashioned short-squeeze … I think that taking into consideration the weekly/monthly charts and the declining volume on the daily chart during this squeeze higher, I think CME is bound to find a pivot high soon that will then see price trade back below the breakout level of that weekly chart ($127.96).
Bottom Line – the longer term charts for CME are pointing to a trend that is long-in-the-tooth and bound to find resistance near the current levels. The daily chart's push higher looks more like a squeeze of the shorts that were testing the resolve of break-out traders.
Cheers … Leaf_West

Oh Lord,
I am so quick to find fault. Criticism springs to my lips every day. Please help me to pause, to pass the words through a test of time.
"Will this matter in a week? In a month? In a decade?"
Help me to let those words fall to the floor and remain unspoken.

Eighty-one agree to new contracts, avoid arbitration
NEW YORK — Eighty-one baseball players reached agreements on a busy Friday as players and teams swapped figures in salary arbitration, leaving only 36 headed toward hearings next month in Phoenix from among the 133 who filed for arbitration Tuesday.
NL MVP Buster Posey agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants, teammate Hunter Pence got a $13.8 million deal and Jacoby Ellsbury settled with the Boston Red Sox for $9 million.
Also avoiding salary arbitration was Yankees left-hander Boone Logan, an O'Connor High School graduate. Logan and the Yankees agreed to a $3.15 million, one-year contract, a raise of $1.25 million.
The 28-year-old reliever was 7-2 with a 3.74 ERA and one save in 80 games. He can become a free agent after this season.
Among the Houston Astros agreeing to deals were shortstop Jed Lowrie, right-handed pitcher Bud Norris and left-handed reliever Wesley Wright.
In his first season with Houston, Lowrie hit .244 with 16 home runs and 42 RBIs in 97 games. His .980 fielding was best among National League shortstops with at least 90 games played. He will earn $2.4 million.
Norris, who will receive $3 million, led the club in strikeouts last year with 165 in 1682/3 innings. He was 7-13 with a 4.65 ERA.
Wright was 2-2 with a 3.27 ERA and a save in a career-high 77 appearances out of the bullpen. He'll earn $1,025,000.
San Diego third baseman Chase Headley had the largest request and the biggest spread, asking for $10.3 million while the Padres offered $7,075,000.
Boston reliever Craig Breslow had the slimmest gap. He sought $2,375,000 — $50,000 more than Boston offered.
Teams won five of seven cases decided by three-arbitrator panels last winter, their 14th winning record in 16 years. Overall, owners lead 291-214 since arbitration began in 1974.
Among those left in arbitration, Cincinnati has a major league-high six players left. Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, acquired from Cleveland last month, asked for a raise from $4.9 million to $8 million, while the Reds offered $6.75 million. Right-hander Homer Bailey asked to be increased from $2.5 million to $5.8 million and was offered $4.75 million.
Mat Latos, eligible for arbitration for the first time, asked for a raise from $550,000 to $4.7 million after going 14-4 in his first season. Cincinnati offered $4.15 million. The other Reds still in arbitration are pitchers Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon and outfielder Chris Heisey.

Confession: Family Feud is one of my all-time favourite game shows. I haven't watched a full episode in ages, but when I flick past the Game channel and it's on I stop until someone complains. I feel validated when my response is on the board, (even more so if it was the most popular answer), and get excited when the families get to 180 on the bonus round, two questions left, will they make 200!?! I am literally on the edge of my seat. I shout out the answers, I get exasperated when they aren't on the board, I am fully invested for them. I think it has to be one of the greatest game shows ever.
Often I wonder who the 100 random people are, (especially when the answers are ridiculous), and where/how they're being surveyed. Is there someone in a shopping mall with a laptop asking seemingly random questions to accumulate this data? Do people reply to email messages? Is that why the phone is ringing at dinner time?
It would really upset me and burst my bubble if 100 random people aren't actually asked. So if you know that's how it happens, (like if you know what's really in Chicken Nuggets), don't tell me. I wish to remain blissfully unaware.
Oftentimes the answers to the questions on Family Feud make me shake my head. Did someone really say that? How did Ketchup not make the list of 5 most popular hot-dog toppings? Who thinks Arbor Day is one of the most important National holidays? Really people, just who are you surveying?
Surveys also make me think about listening. Who are you listening to? How well are you listening? Did you clarify what you were hearing? How limited were the options for opinions? Did you really hear what was being said?
Listening is hard work. Listening well is exhausting. Listening well to children is… whatever is after exhausting.
But when you listen, when you really hear what people are saying, you have a lot of excited, edified people. And since DisneyWorld is the 'Happiest Place on Earth' you gotta know that Disney listens well.
I was surprised to read in Inside the Magic Kingdom that Disney uses a lot of surveys to ask their guests for feedback. I was surprised because surveys are boring, they take up time and, let's be honest-I only fill out a survey when I have something negative to say. (Anyone else?)
But I also expected Disney to use several types of surveys to get their data. So many companies do it. I imagine Disney surveys are even very colourful and maybe Tinkerbell flies across the screen every now and then. Really though I don't really want to delve into their surveying techniques.
The book touches on a second way that Disney Executives/Decision Makers gain feedback: through their employees. They really value the feedback of their employees because the employees are on the front lines, interacting directly with guests. They know how annoyed people are when an entire building of restrooms are shut down for cleaning at the same time, or the most inconvenient place to store cups in a restaurant. Anyone who has worked for anyone else has been reminded that employees are the 'face' of the company, but how many employees feel like they are the 'ears'?
This got me thinking to how I gain feedback from my own 'employees'. All that crying and carrying on from my Terrible Two Year Old is a form of feedback. The attitude from my almost-tweens is another form of feedback. I love it when the feedback comes in the form of hugs, kisses, giggles, high-fives and 'best-day-ever's.
How well do I listen? How well do I hear? How many opportunities do I give for feedback?
At the end of each day in our house we ask the kids what their favourite part of the day was. Many nights it's simply the last thing they did before bed, but there are days when something important sticks out and they coin it 'favourite' hours after it's happened. By listening to those simple sentences I've learned who their favourite babysitters are, what friends are important to them, why they didn't enjoy an outing, things that make them angry or sad.
I can watch what they carry around the house. Recently they received pictures from their pen-pals and they have carried them all over the house, tucked them into books to stay safe, one was even taken for show and tell. Likewise with certain stuffed animals, shirts and mementos of special outings. By watching I hear what is important to them.
Even temper tantrums are an attempt at being heard. They aren't tolerated here and I don't listen until you can tell me what you want to say while you are still and not screeching, but a temper tantrum tips me off to the fact that someone isn't being heard, someone isn't being understood, someone is frustrated. I can learn lots if I take the time to listen to temper tantrums; like the fact that people don't like to be rushed at our house, or if I just gave so-and-so a chance I would learn that they really can put on their shoes/squeeze the toothpaste/spell their name without my help.
Listening is so very important. Listening is so very hard. Listening is a skill to be learned and taught.
I think we can hear a lot indirectly. We can hear what people are feeling and thinking by watching their actions and attitudes. But I also think we should ask more. I think we should invite more opportunities for feedback. Simple things, like what kind of dinners would you like to eat? More in-depth questions like; how did that make you feel? Even the hard to ask questions like: What can I do better?
I think we all know what it's like to feel unheard, to feel misunderstood. I think we all long to have someone hear and understand us. No matter our age, gender or roles. And I think if I asked 100 random people what they could do better….
SURVEY SAYS: Listen.

Night Court (1984)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Charles Robinson, Harry Anderson, John Larroquette, Richard Moll
Genres: Comedy
Dan's Boss - S3-E7
Corrected entry: Approximately seven and a half minutes into the episode, Dan's new boss, Vincent, corrects Christine on a precedent she cited, then says it was overturned "On August 17, 1977. I believe it was a Thursday." Harry jokes, "It was a Tuesday." According to The World Almanac and Book of Facts, it was actually a Wednesday.
Correction: It's entirely possible that he was just mistaken, not necessarily a mistake on the researchers' behalf. Also, as you've pointed out, Harry was making a joke...

Hello Friends,
Today was such a fun day!! I worked on this piece the almost the entire day. I really made sure to savor each moment because as I have learned good art days don't come easy. The past few days have been so hard that today felt like a gift.
I started by sketching the figures on white wood. I used by 6B graphite pencil to shade in some values and then went over her face and hands with white gesso. Once that was dry I went over the complete panel with clear gesso.
Then I took my acrylic paint and started painting in the values of her face and hands.
Then I took my Neo Colors II and started on their shirts. I also gave them both the first layer of hair. I used blending white to blend the Neos.
.After that I took more acrylic paint and went over the blue of the shirt and blended everything together. I also painted the back of his neck, and her arms and hand.
I painted the background a mixture, of black, white and the blue I used in his shirt. Then I started work on her hand. The hand is what took me the longest. I spent hours working on it. I even had to redo it at one point. I have never painted a hand before so it took me some time to figure it out. After I started over on the hand I realized that the Neo Color II would give me the look I was trying to achieve.
Here they are completed. They are not perfect but I love them very much. This is my new favorite peace. This piece was inspired in part by one of my favorite poets Gerhard E. Frost
"I've Missed You"
I knocked today at my friend's door;
he answered, and I went in.
"I've the best possible reason for coming," I said.
"What's that?" said he.
"I've missed you.
I had no other reason.
I just wanted to stand up close,
shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart,
with this, my friend.
We found it reason enough.

Route 66 in the News
Promoting Route 66 Attractions
2010-06-26 11:42:52
GALENA, Kan. - When international visitors traveling Route 66 stop at Four Women on the Route, they often ask the location of the nearest pub.
There isn't one in Galena, but there will be. Its target market is those international and domestic Route 66 roadies.
A handful of convention-goers to the Tri-State Route 66 International Adventure recently helped Danny Charles and T.J. Davis clean up the 1895 building that will become their pub and pizzeria on historic Route 66 in downtown Galena.
It's an example of how towns and businesses are leveraging their connection to the Mother Road.
Charles, 27, is the son of Renee Charles, and Davis, 30, is the son of Melba Rigg, two of the Four Women on the Route. Four Women on the Route, at First and Main streets in Galena, sells Route 66 souvenirs and has a restaurant in a restored Route 66 gas station. It has become a regular stop for Route 66 roadies.
Davis said they were grateful for the help from the Route 66 convention-goers.
"These people are passionate about the route," he said. He said they hope to open the business in the fall.
Area businesses, towns, counties and states market their Route 66 attractions, but an important aspect of the marketing is word-of-mouth among roadies.
Sue Stringer, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation, and Kelli Hillard, assistant tourism marketing manager with the Kansas Department of Commerce, recently made a presentation at the summit meeting. They promoted the Kansas Scenic Byways and said a Route 66 Historic Byway would be a natural fit and intersect with the Frontier Military Scenic Byway along the eastern border of Kansas. Kansas received about $5 million from the federal byways program last year, Stringer said.
Stringer said Kansas would like to coordinate with Missouri on a Route 66 Historic Byway. Oklahoma already has designated its section of Route 66 under the federal byways program.
A transportation consulting firm hired by the Route 66 Association of Missouri met in March with the Joplin Area Transportation Study Organization about getting the federal byway designation for the historic highway in Missouri.
Hillard also stressed the importance of Route 66 promoters staying in touch with their state tourism offices about events and using social media, including Facebook and Twitter, to promote their businesses.
She said her agency also works with travel writers in identifying stories.
Chuck Surface, city administrator in Webb City, Mo., said the town hopes to launch its Route 66 Welcome Center in August. Housed in a restored gas station, the project has received grants from the Missouri Department of Transportation and the Jasper County Industrial Development Authority.
Surface said when it opens, it will include literature about businesses and places to visit in Webb City and Jasper County. He said Mayor John Biggs will paint a mural with a Route 66 theme inside the building.
He said land also is being set aside for use as a park for Route 66 travelers. Surface said when a location is established, word gets around to roadies within a year or so. Then they are placed on maps for overseas visitors.
"We're marketing Route 66," Surface said. "We're excited."
The Mother Road Marathon on Oct. 10, with a route stretching from Commerce, Okla., to Joplin, Mo., is another effort to spotlight the area's Route 66 link. Vince Lindstrom, director of the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau, informed convention-goers about the marathon.
Jasper County Commissioner Jim Honey said part of the reason behind the Route 66 display at the courthouse in Carthage is to get visitors to linger and visit some other spots on the square and nearby.
The historic Coleman Theatre in Miami, Okla., also is a common stop for Route 66 travelers, said Barbara Smith, theater executive director. She said some roadies stay for a few hours, some stay for a show and some stay overnight.
Smith said the theater advertises its shows in a 150-mile radius of Miami, but the advertising is wider for the building. She said she sometimes goes with Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau director Amanda Davis to conventions of bus tour promoters. The effort is funded by a hotel and motel tax.
Smith said work is progressing on a Route 66 publication that will include sites along the route from Miami, Okla., to Carthage, Mo.
Jim Conkle, of Phelan, Calif., co-director of the Route 66 Alliance, a national group, said Route 66 is an international icon, and states and towns must find ways to take advantage of that.
"We do a good job of promoting it," Conkle said. "We've got to continue to promote it."
He said some towns would die if not for the newfound attention to Route 66.
"We're helping the national economy," he said.
Conkle and the alliance's other co-director Rick Freeland at the summit also highlighted another marketing effort for the historic road, as an environmentally friendly highway.
Freeland said Route 66 enthusiasts are encouraging people to travel the highway in alternative-fuel vehicles, including those powered by electricity, hydrogen and natural gas.
"Alternative-fuel vehicles is the future," Conkle said. "Forget fossil fuel. We're going to marry Route 66 with this new technology."
Federal Express debuted its all-electric delivery truck in April on a Route 66 road trip, which included local stops.
George Game, with the Canadian Route 66 Association, was at the convention and was one of those on the crew in Galena. He said the Canadian association's membership of 100 includes people from as far away as Switzerland and Germany.
"That's our job," he said of marketing Route 66. "That's what we do." He said he and his wife promote their enthusiasm for Route 66 at every opportunity, including on the plane ride to the convention.
Renee Charles, with Four Women on the Route and a convention organizer, said she doesn't think local residents necessarily appreciate Route 66, or the international attraction of the Mother Road.
"I don't think locals realize how many people are into Route 66," Charles said.

A motorcyclist who graduated from Lake Highlands High in 2014 died several days after a hit-and-run last week in Plano.
The victim has been identified as 21-year old Braxton Brock of Dallas, police said.
"His first job was with AAA Tree Service working alongside his Papa," according to his obituary. "He worked at Albertsons in High School where he formed many friendships. At the time of his death he was employed by Lattimore Materials Company as a diesel mechanic."
Officers were dispatched about 9:15 p.m. Aug. 10 to East Plano Parkway and F Avenue, near Central Expressway and the Bush Turnpike. They found Brock lying unconscious in the street, Plano police spokesman David Tilley said.
Plano Fire-Rescue rushed him to the hospital, where he died Aug. 12.
Investigators found that Brock was traveling west on Plano Parkway when the driver of a white pickup traveling east failed to yield the right of way while turning left onto F Avenue. Unable to avoid the truck, the motorcycle struck its right passenger side, which ejected Brock, Tilley said.
The suspect vehicle fled north onto F Avenue.
Plano police are asking for help identifying and locating the driver of the white truck, which may have been damaged on the passenger side, from front to back.
Tipsters are asked to call police at 972-941-2445.

HOK-Designed Oregon State Hospital Wins IIDA Northern California Merit Award
HOK's interior design of the Oregon State Hospital in Junction City, Oregon, won an award of merit in the "Heal" category of the International Interior Design Association's Northern California Chapter Honor Awards 2016.
The annual awards competition "aims to encourage new ideas and techniques in the design and furnishing of interior spaces."
The new 219,000-sq.-ft. Oregon State Hospital is located on a 92-acre greenfield site south of Junction City amidst agricultural vegetation, pastures and wetlands. The program for this psychiatric hospital encompasses 174 beds to accommodate both civil and forensic adult patients. In addition to housing units, the facility maintains space for treatment, administration and support services.
The interior design is based on a vision of the "journey of recovery," creating healing, organic and light-filled spaces. A layered design approach embraces the healing power of nature by providing visual connections to the outdoors and use of colors found in the surrounding landscape. Color gradation throughout the facility, featuring soft, calm colors in the private patient areas and invigorating, empowering colors in treatment and public spaces, helps define the building program while providing clear wayfinding.
Designed by a regional artist, a 30-foot by 10-foot glass etched window wall in the main entry is a poignant reminder and dedication to the hospital's mission and the journey of the patients. Titled "Wall of Words," the glass features large-scale inscriptions of patients' poems, statements and memories. The intent is to provide inspiration, calm, encouragement, optimism and affirmation to help visitors overcome what often can be a difficult experience.

Controls iron staining and scale formation. Dissolves metals and minerals (such as iron, calcium, manganese and magnesium) in pool water and corrosion of metal pool fittings will often cause staining and/or scaling. Metal Out Plus is an aqueous solution of hydroxyethylidene-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) that is best used for metallic stain removal and prevention of hard water scaling. This product is used in swimming pools to reduce scale formation in pumps and pool heaters, to eliminate plugging of filters and to reduce iron staining.
Soluble metals can be inhibited from precipitation by sequestering/chelating agents that bind with the colored metal ion to keep it in solution. Metal Out Plus sequesters the material causing stains and scale and holds them in solution. Regular use of this product helps keep pool water clear and the pool walls and plumbing in good condition. Use of Metal Out Plus as part of the pool maintenance program will result not only in the control of scale, but also in the removal of existing deposits. This product is also highly effective as a rust-control agent.

This only form of if having legalized access the land, with absolute certainty, if also configures as a great mechanism of social exclusion to the agricultural property. One knows that the main attention of the present study is not a boarding historicista technique and on the Land Law, but, had main the thematic relevance of the boarded one in the research, such analysis, it contributes sufficiently for a bigger reflection on the present agrarian question in the history of Brazil, having as the related law as a mantenedora of the historical latifundium reality and exclusivista Brazilian. Joo Peter Stdile mentions the Land Law to it: This Law discriminated the poor persons and hindered that the libertos slaves if became proprietors, therefore nor one nor others possuam resources to acquire land parcels of the Crown or to legalize the ones that possuam. Therefore, after the release of the slaves, most of them opted to migrar for cities as Rio De Janeiro, Salvador and Recife, instead of remaining in the farms or the small villages of the interior. A time in the cities, without work and housing option, they had formed villages pauprrimas, surviving to the cost of under employment or the beggary (1997, P. 11). The social consequence of this law was the biggest consolidation of the large state as basic structure of the land distribution in Brazil. Those that had received the sesmarias had regularized its ownerships and had transformed them into private property, assuring, thus, the domain of the main wealth of the country: its terras.3.MODERNIZAO AND EXCLUSION IN BRASILEIRASAo LANDS to continue on this briefing study on the Brazilian agrarian reality, we arrive at century XX, breaking of a reading based at the effective moment capitalist modernization inside of the Brazilian agricultural areas. Then, in the debate on the country property in this period we find a notable social paradox due to the model of production modernized by means of the penetration of the capital in agriculture, leading inexorably the separation of the direct producer of the land and the fruits of its work.

In the conception of Gramsci the education must take the people of the common sense to the good-sense. The good-sense is the capacity of agreement of the reality, of the knowledge of the requirements of the action in such way that acting of the man in such a way in the individual scope, how much collective, either clarified for philosophical conscience, that is, this maximum of explanation of the directions that guide practical ours, so that it is not one practical mechanics, instinctive or one practical total conditional one as it occurs, for example, of the too much beings livings creature. Its to act is not lead by intellectually elaborated significaes. In accordance with MORIN, 2004.p.47 As the objective of the education said Durkheim magnificently is not to transmit always more numerous knowledge to the pupil, but ' ' to create in it an interior and deep state a species of spirit polarity that has guided in a direction defined, not during infancy, but for all via' '. The education fits to cultivate common-sense, the philosophical conscience and consequentemente the exercise of the critical reflection. When it is looked at to the education, in general way, as formative process, is always this idea, that is of tradition of the philosophy occidental person. It is when the individual I left the daily pay-conscience for conscience in the case of the expression of the common sense for the philosophical conscience, that is the formative paper of the intellectual development of all human being. The questioning, that is, the investigation, however, is that the common sense does not obtain to see pra that the philosophy serves. No longer necessary good-sense of the philosophical investigations has intention to sharpen the desire of correction search and accumulates to know: this is not science and yes philosophical questions. The formative process as if of the one in the school that is the ideology and eventually an ideology that if opposes to another one, that is what it is asked for of the school.

Therefore we can say that Daath is a place where there is no hope, where there is no tomorrow. This pseudo-Sefira is the point of revolution of consciousness that so well reflects the noose hung in taro. This property connects Sefira with Libra and, among other things, Daath sometimes identified with Janus, god of doorways. The colors correspond to Daath transparent or gray, because the color is very discreet, he lost among the others. There is a belief that you can not stand "in the doorway, the threshold did not pass, it all echoes of the human fear of the unknown, which is beyond Daath as the portal to infinity. Daath – the balance point between Chokmah and Bina-left and right hemispheres of the brain. In this as Daath is the cerebellum. The Aztecs cerebellum was considered a magical zone, the concentration on the basis of the skull allowed Aztec magicians travel to the fiery caves quite comparable with the tunnel Seta, .
Travel on these caves began to dream and here it is worth noting that Drimhakery found in their studies of sleep a funnel located in the northwest dream card. This education could transported in a deep plane of the second attention and report the state of gnosis. Itself suggests a parallel-Grant said that Daath strange way associated with Yesod-Sephirah dreams, out of body experience and the trans- "Abyss of Daath and very in tune, because the Abyss is a limit to what can be 'apprehended' under it, and Daath is a funnel, into which we fall into when trying to explore beyond.
Tuning In To Happiness
People tend to trust their feelings. All that can not be touched or seen being questioned and requires evidence. For example, mathematics and its derivatives have been difficult to understand most people in antiquity equated with magic, magic. This went on for some time, until a complex mathematical formula began to bear fruit, suitable for use. Mathematics has become a tool in the hands of man. Remember how you childhood taught the basics of mathematics. Own figures were mystical flourishes that with apples, diggers and trains got you a physical content. You believed took math, algebra, geometry.
In our daily life (for most of us) on this and ended acquaintance with the mystery of numbers, but there are people who with the help of these magical zakoryuchek, all familiar from childhood, can work wonders, build a future for us and our descendants. Happiness need to tune in, as each of us bathed in the glow of his childhood in absolute happiness, and therefore faith, the recognition of happiness resides in each person. On the principle of conservation of good memories built work catalysts of Happiness. Happiness catalysts run at full capacity of your joy and fond memories. How to raise your spirits favorite song.
Tune in, turn your attention to happiness, it is necessary to the appearance of happiness shine in your life. Try to read the text in the book, not focusing his gaze and attention on it. For this approach the window with a book in your hands (magazines, newspapers), apply in expanded form to the glass (the text to itself).
Chile Students
Our quandary if imposes: or of the chaos we make to shine new routes creating cosmo, or dive in the hell, of which already we are in the door. the first ones to wave for ' ' star danante' ' desirous of being born, they can be the students, or other workers who take serious its syndical organization or of category. Let us notice that recently, in Chile, students had mobilized the opinions, in Rondnia, had been more than two months of strike, in the federal university of Rondnia and several other examples could be mentioned the students had called the attention for the installed chaos. But the owners of the hell teimam in not allowing that the rejuvenecedora light of ' ' star danante' ' if it propagates. However the estudantil movement assassinated in tenebrous times of dictatorship starts to renascer, done Fenix; still half capenga, but socode leached ashes It is for that it serves the philosophy. It does not stop feeding the ranos of the repetitions in repetitive, laudatrios texts to the great icons of the thought, but to place the daily one in discuso.
It does not stop if closing in the academy, speaking to the walls, in a dialogue of deaf people, but if for in the streets by the way as in the times of its origins considering the doubt, or placing in xeque the establecido power. But it is good for not forgetting that this has a price: those that they desire to keep its privileges sucking the blood of the new things, is the same one that they desire to hinder that the new man retese the ropes of its arc; in the same way that they had killed Socrates tantam to disqualify everything that is new, as the new faces of the estudantil movement and to desestabilizar the union of organized workers as they would have to be the professors. The fact is that as much the chaos, nietzscheano, as critical, the marxist one, they have one same intention: to make to sprout the new with the explosion of ranozo. Exactly that the newness is frightful for that they had installed the chaos. In these heights it is not excessively to remember that it only has fear of the newness who has privilgios to lose!

Connecticut construction workers who work in tunnels with compressed air and high pressure levels may suffer from various health complications. Decompression-induced illness may include nitrogen narcosis, known as the "bends," bone lesions and joint pain. More serious ailments that affect critical organs, such as the spinal cord and brain, may also result. An individual that suffers from an occupational illness resulting from executing a job in an unsafe environment is deserving of compensation under workers' compensation laws.
Connecticut construction worker dies after a fall
Despite explicit and stringent Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines concerning workers functioning at tall heights, falls continue to be one of the leading causes of worker deaths. Construction industry workers are undoubtedly at higher risk of falls than workers in other industries, given the nature of their jobs.
Connecticut construction accident -- worker struck by I-beam
Workplace accidents are very common at construction sites and serious injuries are often involved. Falls, crane accidents, scaffolding accidents and forklift accidents are common types of construction accidents. Despite stringent Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines governing the construction industry, failure to take adequate precautions, wear proper safety equipment and provide adequate training to workers are frequently reported.

When the sad news broke this morning of Leslie Nielsen's death, three generations of film fans started planning their movie tributes to the spoof legend. His early days as a dramatic actor held him in good stead as he maintained the straightest of faces while madness ensued around him in a series of classic comedies. Roger Ebert called him "the Olivier of spoofs", and from Airplane! to Police Squad to Scary Movie 3 and the Naked Gun trilogy, who are we to disagree?
Click below to see DS's gallery of just a smattering of Leslie Nielsen's time in the movies.
