Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
extremely tough, made of plywood covered in fabric, flat-sided all around so they stack well, lifetime warranty
Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
Gator makes good stuff, but this bag is awkward and not efficient. While you can store 2 pieces of gear on the inner rails...the bag itself is clunky. I'm almost at the point of cutting off the handles and slicing the zipper pouch so it would be flush.
this is a nice idea, a canvas bag with zipper pouch...but...
I like Gator gear ..
this begins to touch on the instability of the case itself...doesn't want to stand up by itself, nor can you stack anything on top..
Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
I have the 4U unit. Sturdy construction but still very portable.
Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
In my previous review I said a lot a great things about this bag. It IS a great bag for the right gear. I have encountered a problem, however. The fabric enclosure and reduced size at the back because of the zipper design reduces the air flow and creates a build up of heat inside....I had to remove my amp head from the bag during a gig to allow it to cool down. I never had this problem with a molded rack case. This is something to consider if you are going to use this bag with any gear that tends to run HOT.
Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
If you look at all the photos of this item you should realize that you MUST measure your gear carefully before buying this bag. As other reviewers have stated, there is not a lot of leeway, and this is a SHORT DEPTH rack case with limited room in front too. My Eden 405-WT fits perfectly, but keep in mind that the slanted design of the front of the amp places the control knobs flush with the front of the ears. Also -first I bought a 2 space. The amp fit, but the 2 space bag was a bit unstable....picture sliding the strap off your shoulder and putting this down upright on its feet when you get to your van or first bring it inside to your gig.... well, you don't want it falling over, right? The 2 space bag is narrow, and the Eden is heavy, sitting at the top when standing in the bag. Bad combination....and even worse if you start loading up the side pocket. Even in the bag, you don't want your amp head falling over...this is not a flight case! Maybe for a wireless transmitter or something light the narrowness of the 2 space bag wouldn't be an issue, but for me it was a problem. So I sent the two space back and got a three. I stuck a rack tuner in the extra space, and the 3 space bag is significantly more stable while standing prior to set up or being loaded....and it still is a LOT easier to carry than a molded full size rack case. One other thing to remember is that you probably can't stack heavy gear on top of this bag, like speaker cabs or other amps. My old molded rack case used to sit on top of my 4x10, then my keyboard player would drop his heavy amp on top of my rack case. Well, I didn't even try that with this bag....it's not as strong vertically and by design it's not as deep as a Gator or SKB molded case. It's very well made with good zippers and padded strap. For me, the tradeoff of the strength and size of the molded case for portability and ease of carry of this fabric case was worth it.
Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
I got this bag a year ago for taking my rack mounted vocal FX to gigs. It's exactly what it looks like; a small rack (I got the 2-space one) surrounded by vinyl and a little bit of padding for the occasional bump while carrying. It has pockets all over, which is a plus for carrying cords. The biggest surprise is that the stitching & outside material is still good - none of the stitching is frayed, and the vinyl is not torn (without good reason).
Comments about Gator GRB Rack Bag:
A sturdy, good looking piece, but with its flat cover, the racks on this unit are much too far forward. If your rack gear protrudes at all - with tall knobs, for instance - it's useless. You'll never be able to zip it closed.

The family of Eric Carr had nothing to do with a recently reported lawsuit filed against KISS , supposedly by the estate of the late KISS drummer. This word comes in reaction to news earlier this week that that Caravello family -- the birth surname of Eric Carr -- initiated legal action against the band for unpaid royalties on four songs Carr had written and recorded for the band.
According to the family's attorney Mark Abbattista , that is simply not true. He tells ABC News Radio, "There's another that filed that paperwork and [misrepresented] to their lawyer that they represented everyone, and it gave the illusion that the family had instigated the lawsuit. That's not true. They were never involved. They had no knowledge of it."
A Caravello family member tells ABC News Radio, "We're friends with KISS. We have a great relationship with them."
Carr replaced original KISS drummer Peter Criss in 1981, and was with the band until his untimely death in 1991, from brain cancer.

Topic - Expedition in Scotland
smuffy on 22 Jun 2012
Planning on a week of winter climbing in Scotland early 2013 but with flexibility and hopefully a mini expedition sort of event .Would ideally like to pick a fairly remote area, have a good long walk in, set up for a wild camp (with all suitable equipment of course) and then hopefully spend a couple of days exploring and playing on ridges, gullys and ice up to grade iv.
I fully appreciate that trying to pick a week and a location is going to be difficult to say the least but due to work committments I have to pre-book the weeks holiday in advance.Any ideas as to the the area and the time of year where I am most likely to get the better conditions?
I will keep the plan flexible and have a fairly large vehicle to move about at will so West coast, cairngorms and Torridon are all areas that I could move around in dependent upon weather. Not knowing Scotland that well I'm really after a little advice and help with my plan. All ideas welcome.
Having wild camped in Snowdonia on multi day trips in winter in some terrible weather I think I'm prepared for anything but am I going to encounter anything in Scotland that I haven't envisaged. If the weather or conditions aren't great then I would accept hill walking in the rain as second best and be happy to retire to a local pub/B&B.

Brownouts could be coming to an end in Lexington.
The Urban County Council will vote on a proposal tomorrow that the Fire Department said would keep them fully staffed and could bring an end to the brownouts.
Brownouts are when fire stations close for a day at a time to save money. This means longer response times and can threaten public safety.
The proposal would approve paying more than one million dollars in overtime for firefighters.
It would also add two additional recruit classes to the department that would start training this summer. The Lexington Fire Department said with new firefighters, they will be fully staffed and won't have to shut down.
The council's Budget and Finance Committee unanimously approved the proposal at a meeting yesterday afternoon.
Council will vote during their Urban County Council Meeting tomorrow at 6 p.m.

Howe and Why
Finding Hot Teams with PDO
by Robert Vollman
Team PDO
Vancouver 102.6
Boston 102.5
Minnesota 102.2
Philadelphia 101.8
Dallas 101.4
Toronto 99.2
St. Louis 99.2
Tampa Bay 99.0
Ottawa 97.8
New Jersey 97.8
As of March 3, 2011
Three of the top four teams in the league in points are also three of the top four teams in PDO, and four of the five teams with the worst PDO can all currently be found in the league's basement. There's obviously something that can be learned from PDO, so what is it?
PDO was introduced by Vic Ferrari a few years ago and while nobody remembers what it stands for, everyone knows how it's calculated. Simply add save percentage to shooting percentage, and you should wind up with a number relatively close to 100.0 (or 1000, as some people prefer to present it). And technically you're supposed to use even-strength numbers only, something we'll skip for simplicity.
While further description of PDO is outside the scope of this article (but can be gained from either Tyler Dellow or Corey Pronman),it's clear to see why PDO is so closely associated with the standings. When we're talking about upwards of 5000 shots for and against per season, even a fluctuation of 1.0 means 50 goals, which is easily enough to knock a strong team out of the playoffs or to push a weak team in.
While it's been previously established that team PDO has a strong tendency to 100.0 due largely to the heavy dependency that shooting percentage has on luck (about 75%), Gabriel Desjardins discovered that the presence/absence of skilled players can sustain a team at a significantly different level for several consecutive seasons. Therefore, it is probably best to compare each team to their established PDO levels instead of 100.0 before predicting jumps or slides.
Comparing each team's PDO to their previous season, here are the biggest jumps in PDO since the Lockout.
Largest increases in PDO since the Lockout
Team Season PDO (change)
Colorado 2009-10 +4.3
Philadelphia 2007-08 +3.7
Boston 2008-09 +3.2
Four other teams had jumps of at least 2.0, and for all seven, PDO dropped an average of 1.7 the following season. So instead of predicting a slide based on having a PDO over a certain level, it may be more appropriate to predict slides for teams who suddenly jumped to that level.
Only two of the seven teams sustained their high PDO the next season, the 2008-09 Philadelphia Flyers, who went up a further 0.2 and the 2007-08 Pittsburgh Penguins, who went up 0.4. Why was the improvement in the Flyers and Penguins more permanent? The Flyers had Mike Richards and Jeff Carter coming on to the scene, and the Penguins had Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal and Marc-Andre Fleury. It stands to reason that their increase in PDO was a genuine and explicable improvement in skill as opposed to a luck-based fluctuation.
Today, there are only three teams riding high with increases over 2.0: Philadelphia, Minnesota and Boston, all three of whom are simply bouncing back from seasons where their PDO dropped by at least 2.0. Boston is one of only two teams since the Lockout to suffer drops in PDO greater than 3.0.
Largest decreases in PDO since the Lockout
Team Season PDO (change)
Boston 2009-10 -3.8
Nashville 2007-08 -3.5
Both Boston and Nashville were victims of a rather nasty regression to the mean. Boston was regressing from the third-biggest jump since the Lockout, and Nashville was sliding back from a season where their team shooting percentage was 11.8%, the second highest of any team in the new NHL, and over 3.0% higher than anything they've achieved since 2007-08.
Apart from these two teams, there have been twelve teams to have their PDO drop by at least 2.0. In the fourteen combined cases, they averaged a PDO bounce back of 1.1 the following season, and only two continued to drop, the 2008-09 Calgary Flames and the aforementioned Predators.
In Calgary's case, it could very well have been the coaching style of Mike Keenan, under whom Miikka Kiprusoff and other Flames netminders managed to stop only 90.1-90.6% of the shots, despite stopping 91.5-91.7% under Darryl Sutter and Jim Playfair previously, and 91.6% under Brent Sutter afterwards.
Right now, there are four teams with a PDO lower than last season's by at least 2.0. In the case of Washington (which was explored in more detail by Neil Greeberg), Colorado and possibly San Jose, they are just regressing to the mean after a big jump, but this is probably good news for the New Jersey Devils, whose PDO has never changed by more than 0.6 until this season's streak of bad luck.
Anyone who would like to study this further, send me an email for a spreadsheet of every team's shooting percentage, save percentage and PDO since the Lockout, and keep me posted on anything you discover.

The Salt Lake City heat broke parking meters and an Interstate 15 onramp on its way to shattering the big one: Hottest summer ever.
June started the sizzle, then July turned into the hottest for the city since record-keeping started in 1874.And although Tropical Depression Ivo brought rain and cooled the air, August still managed to join July in the sun and basked in the honor of hottest August on record.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"This [is] far and away the warmest summer," said Eric Schoening, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, having just calculated the average temperature for all three months. Though the season does not end until the fall equinox on Sept. 22, meteorologists define the summer months strictly as the entirety of June, July and August.
The previous record holder was 2007.
Schoening points to the persistent high pressure over the western United States that kept the heat in place, with "very few" breaks.
Salt Lake City even broke a couple smaller records on its way to the top this year, and came just short of another.
More subtlety, climbing to victory in the dark, the city took home the "hottest summer nights" crown. Temperatures refused to plunge much after the sun set. The average nighttime lows in June came within half a degree of beating the month's record, then ramped up and topped the records for July and August, said Simon Wang of the Utah Climate Center.
"If you plot two lines, and you see a slope for [highs] climbing, the [lows] climb twice or three times as fast," Wang said. "This is actually the first year when [I watched] Independence Day fireworks without pulling on a blanket."
Schoening and Wang pointed out two factors for the warm nights — factors that contributed to the daytime heat as well: the humidity and the "urban heat island effect." Basically, streets, sidewalks and other man-made structures absorb and retain a lot of heat. In this case, even after dark, machines like cars and air conditioners kept adding more heat, particularly as more people ran their air conditioners.
It also was a historic summer for Rocky Mountain Power.
Dave Eskelsen, spokesman for Rocky Mountain Power, said the electric company set a new system peak record on July 1, a day when temperatures reached a daily record 104 degrees. That power-consumption record topped a record in 2012, which itself exceeded a record in 2011.
The heat also got to downtown parking meters, which broke down in late June. The estimated loss of revenue during the outage, which lasted 12 days, was $90,000.
The baking heat also buckled the 600 North onramp to southbound I-15, as well as portions of I-15 near Point of the Mountain, I-15 in Clearfield, and on U.S. 40 in Summit County and a lane of Interstate 215 near 3400 South.
On Friday, Salt Lake City also beat the record for amount of 95-degree days during the season. The old record was 51.
However, one record got away, and one Schoening does not expect the city to clinch even in overtime: the amount of triple-digit highs. There have been 20 so far this summer. The record is 21. Even if you stretch summer to the fall equinox, only once in the history books has Salt Lake City ever hit at least 100 degrees in September (that was Sept. 8, 1979).
It is doable, but Jim Steenburgh, a University of Utah atmospheric sciences professor and head blogger for Wasatch Weather Weenies, says time is running out.
"The latest that the airport has reached 100 is [Sept. 8]. On the other hand, we've hit 99 as late as [Sept. 14] and the way this year is going we probably can't rule out a possible 100 until mid [September]," Steenburgh wrote in a Tuesday blog post. "We'll see if Mother Nature can bring it."
People, including Steenburgh, started speculating weeks ago that this summer could go down as the hottest ever.
As for the immediate future, meteorologists expect it could be a rainy, hot Labor Day.Next Page >

General Questions
Who qualifies to complete Georgia defensive driving?
Georgia Drivers who qualify for insurance reduction can complete the defensive driving course. Occasionally, a judge will order a defendant who has received traffic ticket to take a defensive driving course to prevent the ticket from appearing on your Georgia driving record. (NOTE: The GA Department of Driver Services does not allow online courses to be used for an action against the driver license.) Many employers are required to send their employees to a certified defensive driving class. Now you can complete your defensive driving course requirements online. An increasing number of Georgia drivers are finding Improv Traffic School to be a better choice than attending driving school in a classroom. The Georgia defensive driving school is 100% online and self-paced – you can log in and out whenever you want. REMEMBER: It is always the responsibility of the student to ensure the state/court/insurance company approves of the online defensive driving/traffic safety course before enrolling and completing the course.
How Do I Get my Georgia Defensive Driving Certificate of Completion?
As soon as you finish the online defensive driving program your Georgia certificate of completion will automatically be generated. We will mail to you at no additional charge by next business day. However, if you are in a hurry we offer a number of expedited delivery options ranging from Priority Mail to Overnight FedEx Delivery.
What if I don't pass the final quiz?
Quiz questions are entirely based on the chapter material covered, and are multiple choice or true/false. Most courses allow multiple attempts at completing the final quiz.
Can I use any browser?
Yes. Our course works on any of the standard PC and Mac browsers, and even on smart phones, netbooks and other internet devices.
What is my login?
Your login is your driver license number and should be entered from your actual Georgia driver license. When returning to the course, you need to enter your driver license number the same way you did when you first registered, and both your login and your password are case sensitive.
Do you report my traffic school completion?
No, Georgia courts require that you submit a copy of your certificate of completion to the court by the due date ordered by the court in order for your completion to be processed through the court system.
How Do I Get my Georgia Defensive Driving Certificate of Completion?
As soon as you finish the online defensive driving program your Georgia certificate of completion will automatically be generated within 30 minutes. Simply log back into the course 30 minutes after course completion, and click on "Print my Certificate." Your certificate will open in pdf format and you can save and/or print your certificate.
About the Course
How does driving school in Georgia work?
Now that Georgia drivers can take defensive driving online, more and more people are staying at home and achieving the same result. After you sign up and pay for the course, you immediately start the online defensive driving program. You can finish the traffic school program in one evening or you can start and stop whenever you want because it's a self-paced, online defensive driving course.
How is Improv Traffic School online in Georgia different?
The two most obvious difference between Improv Traffic School Online and other providers is that a. Our Course is 100% Online and b. We are the only school offering humorous and fun approach to teaching traffic Safety. After all there is a reason why we were voted "Best Traffic School"

Rack it up: Storage systems for your car
Photo: Thule
Too much junk for your car's trunk? Try a rack. Here are the basics.
You've downsized your vehicle, but not your lifestyle. Now you have a new problem: where to put all your gear. If you've got too much junk for your car's trunk, the best place for it might be on the roof. No joke.
While roof racks have been the obvious solution for years for toting large gear such as bikes and boats, you might be surprised to hear that modern rack systems are designed to accommodate a much wider variety of other cargo, including everyday items such as clothes and groceries. European drivers, who have been thinking small for generations, long ago adopted rooftop cargo boxes as auxiliary trunks. My friend in Finland calls his a "mother-in-law box." (That's a joke.) Consequently, today's racks have transformed into base stations, designed to haul everything from surfboards to an extra spare tire.
But racking up your gear, and getting down the road safely with a load on the roof, is easier said than done. It requires a little planning. You don't want to look like Jed Clampett headed to Beverly Hills, do you?
Here, we run down the rack basics so that you know what's available and how to use it.

Best vehicles for summer sports
The modern rack
The gear rack has come a long way in just 30 years. It used to be that if you needed to carry a canoe, for example, you would pick up a pair of cast aluminum brackets designed to clamp onto the rain gutters of any car, and then you'd bolt on a length of two-by-four lumber cut to span the roof. Add some eye bolts for tie-downs and you were in business. The same makeshift rack could carry lumber, ladders, skis and even a Christmas tree.
In the late 1960s, Yakima Products added to its line of metal hardware a roof rack designed to carry orchard ladders. In 1979, the company was purchased by two kayakers who struck on the idea of creating a modular roof rack for boats, with other accessories designed to carry different types of gear. Thus was born the modern "rack system" concept, along with an industry that today is dominated by Yakima and Sweden-based Thule.
Growth in the rack industry has been fueled by the boom in gear-intensive adventure sports, and by modern vehicle design. Cars no longer have rain gutters at the roof seam, and the shorter and curved rooflines of today's aerodynamic vehicles mean that the rack bases have become more specialized. Some still clamp to the roof above the door, but others are designed to work with the factory-installed roof rails or tracks that come on many SUVs and vans. Others bolt directly to "hard points" on those vehicles.

No matter the vehicle, there's probably a rack for it.
Both the Yakima and Thule websites offer guides that sort out the mounting options for specific vehicles. The rack feet support crossbars, which also come in various styles and lengths to fit different vehicles and loads. Wider bars, for example, can be used to combine outboard bike racks with a center-mounted cargo box, or be wide enough to carry two canoes. On the feet and bars are mounted gear-specific accessories, or a cargo box or basket can be changed out quickly to suit the weekend's mission.
The complexity of fitting a rack means that it can be a good idea to get advice from an experienced retailer. "Assembling some of these racks for the first time can be a bit of an engineering project," says Peter Coons, manager of the Wheel & Sprocket bicycle store in Appleton, Wis. "The rack also needs to be located correctly on the vehicle. The rack manufacturer has critical mounting specs for each vehicle on the road, measured down to the millimeter. If the rack is not installed correctly, it can void the warranty. We install all the racks we sell for no charge, but other retailers may charge for that service."

Work ona $3.2 million water project in Berthold and Carpio is one step closer tobeginning its second phase.
Latelast year, North Central Rural Water Consortium completed phase one of theproject, which provides a water system to about 220 new customers in bothtowns.
But,with such an overwhelming response from the community, North Central ran out offunding before they could sign people up for the program.
That'swhen they asked the state Water Commission for more money to move forward with itsproject.
Withfunding now secured, North Central is holding a public meeting Wednesday nightat the Carpio Senior Citizens Center to get people in the area signed up forthe program.
"Wedon't want to miss anybody because these projects don't come along very often," says general manager Teresa Sundsbak of North Central Rural Water Consortium. "We want to make sure that everybody get [signed up] who's interested inhaving rural water."
Themeeting starts at 7 p.m. Bids for the project will open by the end ofApril. And, Sundsbak says weather permitting; work on the project willstart as soon as possible. For more information visit www.northprairie.com.

Jeung Bloodrose
|Jeung Bloodrose
|Blood Roses
|Lilith Bloodrose
|Michael Simeone
Jeung is a Blood Roses Contact, and can be found in the Waterfront district.
Jeung was always the first kid into anything new on the scene. First to dye his hair, first to get a lip piercing, first to get into (and then out of, as others picked up on the trend) a series of increasingly bewilderingly-named Euro dance trends.
He was also the first to murder someone - some junkie bum that he had found in one the old warehouses down at the Waterfront, and stabbed him to death with a ceremonial dagger that he bought on an internet auction site. He was fifteen at the time.
Afterwards, to commemorate the act, he took his girlfriend Charlotte down there and used the same knife to carve the outline of a flower design - a rose - into both their arms.
And that's how the Blood Roses were born.
Jeung always knew he was meant for something a lot more interesting than the safe, cosseted existence he had lived so far, growing up surrounded by the Old Money world of The Concession. He thought he was going to be a rock star, maybe. Or a DJ or fashion designer. Instead, sealed in that blood pact he had made with Charlotte, he became a criminal.
Jeung became the dark star around which like-minded souls soon orbited. Most of them were kids like him and Charlotte, from The Concession or Virginia Gardens, but looking for something different - their own scene - away from the traditional gangs that ran in those districts. They congregated together in the VIP suite of the Beltane Club, ironically converted from the warehouse building where Jeung had murdered that bum just a few short years earlier. There were plenty of drugs around in the scene down there, but that wasn't what Jeung and his crew were into, not if they wanted to stay sharp and focused, mentally and physically. Where Jeung led, the others quickly followed.
The first job they pulled was late night club talk made real, done almost on a dare among each other. They went in scared, even Jeung, who already had blood on his hands. They came out exhilarated, on a high better than anything you could buy in any of the clubs. The money they made from it didn't hurt, either.
They pulled more jobs, getting a name for themselves. Jeung meets Tyron Sennet, recognizes him for the type he is - hangs around money and success, looking to feed off any crumbs that come his way - but recognizes that he has his uses. Then Michael Simeone makes his presence known and hits Jeung with a few harsh home truths.
The Blood Roses are good at what they do, and he admires professionalism in others, but if they're going to move up to the next level - out of the clubs and into onto the streets of the Waterfront to make a big chunk of the city their own - then they're going to need some representation and professional management when it comes to dealing with people who have been doing this a whole lot longer than them.
Jeung thinks about it, thinks about this old teenage dreams of being a rock star, and then signs up. Simeone's management, but he's still the front man, the one the rest of the crew listen to and follow. He'll go along with Simeone's arrangement. At least for the moment.

According to Ohio Prison officials two guards have been placed on paid administrative leave while authorities investigate the death of Ariel Castro.
The guards on leave were in charge of the housing unit Castro was assigned to when he committed suicide.
Castro was housed at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient when he was found hanging in his cell September 3. He had been there one month.
The convicted kidnapper and rapist was serving a life sentence, plus 1,000 years, for kidnapping and sexually assaulting Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus while holding them captive in his Seymour Avenue house for over a decade.

Classic Fit Easton Pull-On Bootcut Pants 3 3
Love the Fit but NOT to Sit I was skeptical of these pants and then I pulled them on and wow they look nice. Then I wore them all day. Every time I sat down I had to hold my pants up to prevent my tush from showing. They are great when standing but when sitting the waistband isn't strong enough to hold them in place. I am keeping them but I will only be wearing them in situations when I won't be doing a lot of bending and sitting frequently. I am curious now if others have had the same problem as the jeans like this get rave reviews. March 8, 2014
comfortable Attractive style and fabric. I had to shorten them but I always do. November 18, 2013
Great buy The pants are wonderful. Living up to all Travel Smith's promises. Comfortalbe, stylish and look very slimming on. November 9, 2013

I've been reminded recently how precious life really is and how important children are to many people. Some of you may have read this on my other blog, but this is an update of sorts too. After posting the original two-and-a-half years ago, another woman in our area has decided to become a surrogate mother and help a couple bring a child into this world. That is awesome. Now, here's our story.
My wife Lisa and I have been blessed with three (relatively) happy and healthy children. With the exception of a blighted ovum, all of Lisa�s pregnancies have been wonderful experiences. I know that is not the case for everyone. We have friends and family members who have and continue to struggle with infertility. In fact, that�s how we ended up where we are today.
In 2005, our daughter (and third child) was born. Lisa and I both wanted a third baby, and I was quite honestly hoping for a baby girl. My wish was granted. After that, we both felt like our family was truly complete. About 18 months later I got a vasectomy to �seal the deal� among other things. All the while, Lisa and I had talked about her one day carrying a child for another couple.
At first, I thought it was simply talk and it wouldn�t go much further than that. In the fall of 2007 Lisa had contacted an agency in the Chicago area that matches woman who want to be surrogates with couples looking to have a baby. We met with the woman who runs the agency in St. Louis on a Friday night in October. By November, we were meeting a couple looking to have a child.
I�ve blogged about that experience in the past. So here�s the Cliff�s notes version. Lisa carried and delivered a healthy baby boy in January 2009, providing that couple with a second child. This little one has no biological connection to Lisa. She was �just the oven�, as we explained it to our kids.
Because she has had four successful, problem free pregnancies, Lisa was sure she wanted to do another surrogacy. Besides providing a couple with a child, the compensation for doing so is a bonus, I�m not going to lie.
Once she made the decision to carry again official, the agency contacted Lisa about another couple that was eager to meet us (yes, I�m part of the equation too, however I pretty much just sit back and help when I�m needed) Anyway, in April 2009 we met the couple for lunch in Springfield, the half point for each of us. Immediately we knew these people were loving and caring and wanted so much to be a mommy and a daddy. They must have liked us too, because Lisa still had a couple of months before the doctor would even clear her for the transfer and they wanted her to be their �belly mama.�
The process itself is quite complex. The surrogate (and her husband) speak with a psychologist, so do the IPs (intended parents). Then there�s a battery of blood work and other tests that are run to make sure everyone (even the �belly daddy�) are healthy. Because the couple in this case lives up north, this required travel to Chicago for the transfer and testings.
The first transfer this time around was not successful. It broke our hearts (yes, I�m invested emotionally in this too) to tell the IPs that Lisa wasn�t pregnant. But everyone in this process was determined, and a short time later doctors did another transfer. And this time it worked! Very well, I might add. Lisa was carrying twins. Soon this wonderful couple would be blessed with two bundles of joy.
Again, Lisa�s pregnancy was going well. The twins had nice, strong heartbeats and were active. Things were pretty much flawless until about 30 weeks into the pregnancy. Baby boy apparently wasn�t content with where he was sitting and decided to do some moving around. Little did we know at the time, but that�s the move that sent Lisa into labor.
She was about 9 1/2 weeks (cue the Mickey Rourke jokes) out from delivering, but these babies didn�t seem to care. Also, the IPs were bound for Europe when I called and told them Lisa was at the hospital, but the doctor said it could be weeks before the babies arrived. Long story short, 3 1/2 hours later, the babies were here.
Lisa delivered via C section, something new for her. I was in there with her and can�t tell you how good it was to hear baby boy come out screaming and crying. A minute or two later, his sister arrived, but she wasn�t making any noise. That worried me, but in a matter of seconds, she too was crying.
The IPs landed in London, and literally turned around and got back on a plane for another 8 hour flight. They arrived safely and have been enjoying their babies ever since. The twins are still in NICU, but they are getting stronger every day.
: Both families remain in contact with us. The first family still sends flowers on each birthday of their child. We just got the four year bouquet a couple of weeks ago. We also get a Christmas
arrangement from the second family and photos of their family each year.
I am so very proud of my wife. Over the course of 18 months she provided two wonderful families with three children, and her sacrifices have also helped our family. I love her.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- Some Wausau City Council members felt the city should not rush to fill the Director of Public Works & Utilities post vacated by Bradley Marquardt.
Finance Committee Chairman Keene Winters was one that wanted to make sure Mayor Jim Tipple's executive branch didn't rush to hire Marquardt's replacement. He says that's why their Tuesday agenda had an item to delete funding for the Director of Public Works. Winters says, "We found that the administration was moving ahead very quickly to fill that position, and we are at a time when we need to pause, look at our organizational structure, see what's going on, and then decide who we're going to hire, if we're going to bring in an interim administrator, or someone to help us decide what our organizational structure should be."
Winters says in order to give the city time to evaluate the operations and what is really needed, they were prepared to pull funds from the budget. "We had had a discussion, and the executive branch said well, it's in the budget, we'll fill it anyhow, and so we had to threaten to take it out of the budget to get a gentleman's agreement that we could all sit down and have a strategic planning session before the position is filled."
Winters agreed to pull the budget cut from the Finance Committee agenda when Council President Romy Wagner agreed to call a Committee of the Whole meeting yet this month to allow for full City Council consideration of the funding, and the future direction of the Public Works department."We need to take a look at whether we need to bring in an interim administrator, and make the Department of Public Works Director reportable to the administrator, rather than have someone in that position again who can only be fired by a three-quarters vote of the council. That's created an accountability problem that we need to explore."
Mayor Jim Tipple and Council member Lisa Rasmussen spoke out against defunding the position. All agreed the city's operations need to be reviewed.
Wausau's Public Works Director position has not yet been posted.

What happens to your data when you die?
What will happen to your email, digital docs, music, photos, Facebook, Twitter and other online accounts when you go to your final reward? You need a plan for this.
This post comes from Karen Datko at partner site Money Talks News.
Estate planning has gotten a bit more complicated, so I recently made this mental update:
- Have a will: Check.
- Have a durable power of attorney: Check
- Have a health care power of attorney: Check
- What about all of digital stuff, like photos, Facebook page, Twitter account? Uh-oh.
I bet I'm like many of you in that I have made no post-death plans for my digital life and possessions.
Money Talks News founder Stacy Johnson has some advice to help people plan for the disposal or distribution of these items. Watch it, then read on for more details:Passwords
I do have this one covered. I recently made a copy of all of my passwords and put them in the special place the executor of my will knows to look upon my expiration. Don't put them in your will, which becomes a public document. Your passwords should be shared at the end only with a trusted friend or family member who has been instructed on what to do with these accounts.
Note: Having the passwords is essential. With some digital assets, your survivors won't be able to access your accounts without them.
But what do I want done with all of my online accounts? You need to spell this out in a detailed memo to the executor of your will or to your heirs. Make sure someone is in charge of handling this.
In fact, USA.gov suggests you create a separate "social media will" with an executor, and provide that executor with your user names and passwords, and specific instructions about what you want done with each account. We're guessing the government means an informal document that won't be filed at the county courthouse for everyone to see.
Online accounts
In general, you need to read the terms and conditions of each site you deal with to find out what can be done with your online presence after you die. But here are some of the major ones.
Google. This is the coolest solution by far. Google's Inactive Account Manager feature lets you decide whether to pass your Google data -- including YouTube -- to your designated heirs or to kill it out after a preset period of inactivity. A warning is sent out so you can stop the deletion if you're still alive.
Yahoo. Your heirs have no rights here. Its terms say: You agree that your Yahoo! account is non-transferable and any rights to your Yahoo! ID or contents within your account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate, your account may be terminated and all contents therein permanently deleted.
Microsoft. We found this information on a Microsoft forum post from last year, before Hotmail was retired from service.
The Microsoft Next of Kin process allows for the release of Hotmail contents, including all emails and their attachments, address book, and Messenger contact list, to the next of kin of a deceased or incapacitated account holder and/or closure of the Hotmail account, following a short authentication process. We cannot provide you with the password to the account or change the password on the account, and we cannot transfer ownership of the account to the next of kin. Account contents are released by way of a data DVD which is shipped to you. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)
Facebook. You can have your account memorialized, which allows your Facebook friends to share their remembrances, or you can have the account deleted. The person making the request must provide proof of their relationship to you and proof of your death. Facebook, by the way, has an If I Die app that will posthumously post a video or post, sharing your final thoughts. Does that sound appealing to you?
Twitter says, "In the event of the death of a Twitter user, we can work with a person authorized to act on the behalf of the estate or with a verified immediate family member of the deceased to have an account deactivated."
There are services that are willing to store your user names and passwords and also your important documents. Among them:
- Legacy Locker. This paid service allows you to store your passwords all in one place and pass them on to your designated beneficiary after you take a dirt nap. You can also store important digitized documents there. There's a very limited free trial account. The full service costs $30 or a one-time $300 fee.
- SecureSafe. This company, which acquired Entrustet, includes data inheritance among its services. The price ranges from free to $12.50 a month.
- Another one is AfterSteps.

My goodness, how terribly important. What happens to your online stuff when you die?
Email - people who know that you died won't email you anymore. People who did not know you died will not get an answer to their emails.
Facebook - you will no longer be required to comment on the photos that your acquaintances post of their babies every five seconds. [Isn't that what 85% of Facebook really is?] Since you will no longer be posting updates ["I just had a ham sandwich"; "I just went to the bathroom"], your ten million acquaintances will forget you. Win-win situation!
You wouldn't believe how many people don't plan for the truly important things before they die. Passwords and Facebook pages are not essential. Grow up or at least hire a grownup.
"What happens to your data when you die?"
Facebook picks it clean and then sells it to the highest bidder in order to try to boost their collapsed stock price. They then keep sending you friend requests because as we all know, Facebook isn't about making billions of dollars selling your most personal information, it's about social connectivity.
Now...why would I (or anyone, for that matter) give a flying fuque about what happens to the digital "me" when I croak? All my *important* stuff (my bank & credit union) have my next of kin's/beneficiary's information. As far as FB, Twitter, et al, they can kiss my ashes
Like my momma says, "IDGAF...I'll be dead."
Yahoo accounts will self-destruct after a period of non-use. I have had a couple do that when I quit using them. Actually I believe most on-line social accounts will do so...you need to check with the providers.
But it is a good idea to keep a written list of user-names and passwords in a safe place so that someone you trust can get in and delete then close all on-line accounts. Other wise, you just really never know what may be out there that would affect your heirs in the future.

An eastern Iowa woman is heading to Little Rock, Arkansas Friday to help in disaster relief with the American Red Cross. Gail Howatt has been volunteering with the American Red Cross for 9 years. This will be her 6th national deployment to help those affected by a disaster.
"When you see the devastation, especially the tornados, you just can't imagine how the people had gotten through that. You know, how would I do that? If that was my house laying there in timbers, I don't know if i could do it." Howatt said.
Howatt, a nurse, said she is not sure what she will be doing when she arrives in Arkansas, but she believes it will be something health related.
She said she is both excited and nervous to head to Arkansas, but she is looking forward to helping those in need.
"It's a wonderful feeling. It's emotional, it's tiring, but in the end it just warms your heart." Howatt said Thursday.
Howatt isn't the only Iowan helping out. Thursday morning two officers based in the Des Moines office left to help with recovery efforts in Baxter Springs, Kansas.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The cards were incredibly easy to customize and I loved the selection offered. I live in the UK now, so it was key for me to have fast and reliable international delivery, which is exactly what I got. I was stunned at how quickly the cards came and was impressed by the quality, especially given what a great price they were. Will definitely use them again to order Thank You cards and will recommend to all my friends."
"I love these save the date cards. The design is simple but gorgeous! Fits perfectly with our beach themed wedding. I was able to customize the color of the font, But I wish the color of the star could be changed as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this product!!"
"This save the date is beautiful, especially in person. The sample card I ordered shows the text aligned to the left of the card. I decided to center the text which I personally think looks better. I really like that aligning or moving the text is an option we can choose to do, along with don't and colors however I kept those the same as the sample. The printing and paper quality is up to my expectations. The paper is just thick enough to give it quality without being too thick. We have not sent out our save the dates yet but I have gotten great feedback from friends who have seen them already. The sketched leaves designs is perfect for our fall wedding!"
"I am very happy with these Save the Date cards. It was everything we wanted for our fall wedding. I ended up getting the Azalea and Apricot color with our engagement photo printed on the back of the card. The design team was also exceptional and very helpful as well. We were able to move things around on the card such as the butterfly. I can't wait to purchase the matching invitations!"
"I used this for my Save the dates. The postcard came very quickly and it looks exactly as it does online. It's simple and I don't know much about paper quality but it doesn't feel cheap. I chose not to have any words on the back so I can't speak for how they come out."

Quite, Rolley. That's how Italy was removed from contention in WWII. Don Mussolini's capos recieved an offer it was in their interest not to refuse.
That was also how Operation Torch went so smoothly when they arranged Admiral Darlan's defection. For some reason everbody seemed to pick on Vichyites then, for being in the way. As they were more zealous about picking on Jews then some, I suppose that was poetic justice. It is even more ironic that Moshe Dayan recieved his eyepatch helping to conquer Syria from them; and more ironic still that his allies included the Jordanians.
Smiling at Jason
Done unto a nefarious enemy, that would constitute "poetic justice" of the most delectable sort.
Most of the citadels that have been taken were done so by bribing a guard.
Vive la Résistance!
These statements in particular resonated with me:
"It is my belief that passions as strong as his are more likely to be countered by the unexpected force of poetry, which can ambush the human heart at any time."
"Beyond that, I can only add that those who choose to argue in prose, even if it is very good prose, are unlikely to be receptive to a case which is most effectively couched in poetry."
It's been said the citadel to take is not so much the mind as the heart. The mind is the army outside the gate marshaled to keep the citadel secure. Poetry gives us wings to fly above the host.
Poetry as a spiritual assault weapon
I have always, always delighted in the verse that Rolley has published at The Point, but I'd also only thought of them as strengthening the faith of the faithful. Thanks to Mr. Hitchens, I can now also see them as challenging the most hardened unbelievers to reconsider. And that increases my delight all the more.
Going to get this book
I will get this book! I was living in Europe at the time he was trotting around there in his atheistic phase and I talked with many like him. Thrilling to see how God has brought him around and the revelations he has had.
The link is to a particularly well-written column (The British do seem to manage with written English!) Great excerpts above.
Sorry, I thought I'd fixed that. Try it now.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Attorneys have filed legal briefs for-and-against the latest effort to halt a John Doe investigation into the state's recall election campaigns from 2011-and-'12. Three unnamed petitioners are trying to stop prosecutors from taking secret testimony about the allegations in the case. Special interest groups are suspected of illegally coordinating their campaigns with those of G-O-P candidates in the recall votes -- including Republican Governor Scott Walker.
The Fourth District Appellate Court in Madison recently declined to halt the probe, but it asked the special prosecutor and the judges in the John Doe to file responses. They did so this month, with the state Justice Department representing the judges. The filings are sealed, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says parts of the documents could be made public if the courts find that they don't interfere with the ongoing John Doe.
Walker recently said that he encouraged those who wanted to help him in the 2012 recall vote to work directly with his campaign, and not with outside groups. That's because he had no limits on campaign fund-raising for the recall vote, unlike other elections.

Before the match, Mohamed Zidan told PUMAFootball he felt just one mistake would decide the result. And he was right. In the 85th minute, Gedo dashed into Ghana's box, played a neat one-two with Zizou and smashed the ball into the far corner.
There was just enough time for Ghana to have one last close call. A last gasp free-kick saw seven Black Stars pile into the area in the hope of forcing the draw. But it wasn't to be. Nevertheless, the team is clearly bursting with young talent and are an exciting prospect for FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
No one could come close to Egypt though. Throughout CAN 2010 they were the best team by far. The only side to win every one of their games, they scored 15 goals and conceded only two. The fact that this team will now go down in history is a fitting tribute, not just to their winning mentality, but to the thrilling football they've played - as Zidan also showed on his head (!) - with equal skill and love.
Of course, Egypt haven't been the only stars of the tournament. Angola would have been nothing without the fans. And they too raised their game for the final. Just getting to our seats in the stadium today, PUMAFootball encountered a plethora of nutters: the 'Angolan pope' who insisted on blessing all and sundry with a stale bread roll, two Pharaohs with pyramids on their heads and, lastly, a goat wearing sunglasses.
Of course, having seen what we have over the last month, this kind of silliness was to be expected, but even we were surprised when two spacemen jet-packed into the stadium with the trophy. A fitting end, we think, to a tournament that has been truly out of this world.

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia speaks on the politics of abortion for Catholics.
Archbishop Chaput says, "We are Catholics before we're Democrats, we're Catholics before we're Republicans, we're even Catholics before we're Americans, because we know that God has a demand on us prior to any government demand on us."
He concludes, "You can't let any [political] party take your vote for granted."

We have had quite the winter in North Dakota. Thought I would post some pics of Daddy, Grace & me playing in the snow. (This is especially for you--Texas Cousins....)
Here's Me Standing on a massive snow "hill".....
Here's Grace & Daddy sledding in the street:
Silly Grace! Just don't stick that tongue on a metal pole!
MMMMMMMM.....Back inside, by our fireplace, with hot chocolate and ESPN in the background.....This is the life! (according to Kevin, that is....)
The HUGE miracle in the little body :o)

Michael Nechyba and J. Andrew (Drew) Bagnell
April, 1999.
|In attempting to build advanced robots with sophisticated in- telligent behaviors, the modern roboticist does not have to look far to find examples of such behavior. Humans are, and for the foreseeable future remain our best and only example of true intel- ligence. In comparison, even advanced robots are still embar- rassingly stupid. Consequently, one popular approach for imparting intelligent behaviors to robots and other machines ab- stracts models of human control strategy (HCS), learned directly from human control data. This type of approach can be broadly classified as "learning through observation." A competing ap- proach, which builds up complex behaviors through exploration and optimization over time, is reinforcement learning. We seek to unite these two approaches, previously considered disparate, and show that each approach, in fact, complements the other. Specif- ically, we propose a new algorithm, rooted in reinforcement learning, for stabilizing learned models of human control strate- gy. In this paper, we first describe the real-time driving simulator which we have developed for investigating human control strate- gies. Next, we motivate and describe our framework for modeling human control strategies. We then illustrate how the resulting HCS models can be stabilized through reinforcement learning and finally report some positive experimental results with the pro- posed algorithm.
