text: You might think that getting natural stone from a quarry to your home's floor is a fairly simple process. Something like just slice and ship. But like all pieces of art, which natural stone should be considered, there's also a real art to its production. Part art, creativity and passion, part science, system and technology.

Round 2 is underwayPosted by on April 27, 2012 – 6:09 pm
WR Brian Quick of Appalachian State is the first pick of the second round, going to the Rams at No. 33. Right after that, the Colts took TE Coby Fleener from Stanford, so the first two picks on Day 2 are offensive players.
There are still a number of attractive defensive players, particularly defensive linemen, on the board. Alabama's Courtney Upshaw is an OLB candidate, while interior guys remaining include UConn's Kendall Reyes, Michigan State's Jerel Worthy, Penn State's Devon Still, and a few others.
It will be interesting to see if the Packers have targeted one of those names and whether or not they'll look into trading up if one of them hangs around for a few picks or toward the middle of the second round.

Packers need a lot of assistance on defense. However, Ted Thompson has said all along that they do not target anyone, but take the best person available that will meet their needs. This doesn't mean they are going to take a QB in the 2nd round but it people are not a value pick in that round they will look at trading down.

In anticipation of next week's High Line Honey Day, we sat down with one of our favorite beekeepers to talk about honey (what else?). We invite you to join us on Wednesday, July 31, for a fun afternoon with artisanal beekeepers and special honey-infused offerings from the High Line' s food vendors. Until then, Chase Emmons, managing partner & apiary director at Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farm, tells us the "buzz" about urban beekeeping. He shares how he shed his corporate suit—preferring jeans and a tee—to spend his days beekeeping.

These Adventure Narrative poems are examples of Narrative poems about Adventure. These are the best examples of Adventure Narrative poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Riding an elephant
Down the narrow trail looking triumphant
Scanning the golden landscape
Like Hannibal with enemies in flight
Sight from a lofty height
King of the jungle moving
With lioness by his side
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro
Guides by my side with packs on their backs
Some paths steep with rocks
Boots slipping below our tired feet
Beautiful birds in unison flight
Moving with terrestrial light
Stunning sunlight summit on the peak
Praying in an Ethiopian Church
Preserved in rocks built by humans' hands
Never touched by conquest plans
Protected from the invaders' footsteps
Queen of Sheba and Solomon's nest
Touched by Arch of the Covenant
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus once slept
Eating yam, sipping palm wine, and tasting milk
Freshly squeezed by experienced hands
Taste of life in the mosaic grassland
Sustaining and soul refreshing
Cradle of humankind adorning
Invaded for its gold, riches, and human capacity
Birth of life on earth with tenacity
Respecting its living and arduous journey
Essence of life once was and is again to come
Riding a camel across the hot Sahara sand
Once wet now dried, exported gold from Mali…
Treasures from the hearts of once African empires
That which was, is, and shall forever be
Africa the birthing Motherland
We still love and respect thee!

Lemme tell ya' about a
*ding-bat skit-zo
bee-hotch* tranny
named Annie...
I met her one night
under disco lights
up at Candies
She was
starin' at me
grittin' her teeth
aimin' ta' see
if I wanted a piece
of he
of she
by way of flashin' granny panties
She was
shootin' pool
actin' a fool
so I
took a shot
and one tiny glance
but got caught
So I
lit up a smoke
and tried to play it off cool
but it was too late
she had pulled up a stool
She slurred,
"Hey young felluh, where ya' been all my life!"
I replied,
"Sorry to burst yir' bubble, but I got a wife!"
"That don't matter kid, what she don't know won't hurt the girl"
as she fisted my collar and yelled, "I'LL ROCK YIR' WORLD! Annie the Tranny is what they call me. Bet you been wanted ta' bone me since you first saw me!"
Fear and frustration danced on my face
I begged the bouncer to
"Get this he/she outta the place!"
My pleas were to no avail,
and that sea donkey lurked hot on my trail
flailin' it's arms and grindin' bar stools with it's tail
Speakin' of tails...
a shiny blue wale tail crept up her back
Her jeans were mean, but couldn't hold her underwear's elastic slack
but at least it beat feastin' eyes upon her crack
then she...
wrapped her grimy hands around my neck and asked,
"You n' me, boy, what the heck!?!"
I screamed,
"Look here lady, you seem real nice for a tranny;
ya' see...
ya' need
to hit the bricks,
and yir' Granny Panties!"
At that point the joint started to really heat up
people were glarin' like they really wanted me beat up
I can't recall how the hell I got out of there
alive and free
it was like a big manly freight train
headin' dead at me
I'm pretty sure I owe the good Lord a big favor
that beast was the devil
and Jesus was my Savior!
It's a night I thought would never end...
the night at Candies Bar n' Grill
Granny Panty Annie got a thrill
tryin' to make me her sexy friend!!!
Tea Leaves On The Bosphorus
Seated at a table by the stirring water,
My eyes absorb the shore of Asia.
Minerets and aged worn stone
Stand haphazardly along the banks.
Istanbul is a lady with secrets
She'll lure you with her unrevealed virgin beauty,
Then seduce you with her ancient lovers.
Grilled sardines filled my charger
Fish pulled from the strait just minutes before,
Lay garnished with parsley and mint .
Red pickled turnips and warm flat bread
Are the implements that help feed me
And scoop up the humus,
Turkish nourishment for my soul.
The empty plates are cleared by a handsome waiter
With dubious intentions I feared,
But I was flattered none the less.
A bowl of yogurt was placed before me,
And my admirer arrived with a comb of honey.
He held it high above the creamy cloud and let the heavy ochre
languidly pour atop the milky whiteness of delight.
After his seduction,he left me alone to my pleasure
As I lapped at the sweet and sour heavenly temptation,
that parted my lips and elevated my being.
As I recovered from my rapture, two eyes caught mine.
The heathen that destroyed my diet approached the table uninvited.
He pulled up a chair and sat down across from me.
In his hands, a cup.
He offered to tell me my future.
White, small, as fragile as an eggshell with the top lopped off.
Within was a dark tea with floating leaves.
In a chivalrous attempt at English conversation,
He handed me the libation and the offer to read the remains.
I, alone in a man's world, unmarried, and of a certain age,
Did not need encouragement and I accepted his offer.
I drained the tea in one gulp and returned it to his hands.
He placed the cup in one palm , then turned it upside down,
Allowing the remaining fluid to drip out around the cup and onto the table.
Once the cup was upright again he studied the leaves, then he spoke.
His voice was soft, at times , unintelligible
His reading was honest, and truthful, and painful.
His prophecy, amusing, and entertaining
His vision and it's accuracy were astounding.
Fifteen years later, the leaves delivered on their promise.
Long fluid lines inside the cup foretold of a marriage,
To a man who would cross a sea to find me.
Two shorter drippings were the children that now delight me.
The tea ring that he was able to complete around the cup ,
Was the warmth of a love that would soon envelop me.
Tea, anyone?
I looked up at a silver moon
Peering through a cloud of misty gloom
As we sailed across the Atlantic Sea
That fateful night in June
And as I stood upon the bow
A furrow crossed my troubled brow
When I saw a dying star fall from the sky
As the wind out of the north
Began to cry
'Twas then with fearful heart
I came at last to realize
That we were sailing
On a wave of ill-tidings
Known as 'The Devil's Tide'
For no omen of the sea
Brought more fear than thee
A fallen star - a silver moon
Together in the month of June
If legend true would surely bring us doom
So with no trace of land in sight
We sailed onward through the night
I - the Captain 'Louie Lou'
With my faithful crew
Aboard the 3 mast schooner 'Angel - of the Blue'
On canvas wings we flew
Upon the wailing wind that blew
Then suddenly a hush of malaise
Crushed the summer night
Filling all the crew with dreadful fright
As all the stars in heaven lost their light
And the silver moon dipped completely out of sight
Leaving us to drift without guidance
To our unknown plight
An eerie sound began to roll out of the west
Growing louder and louder as we held our breath
Until it was upon us and the ship began rise
As we looked in horror into the Devil's eye
As the Angel of the Blue began to fly
Up the Devil's breast she climbed 20 fathoms high
One by one the Angel's wings were torn away
As she fought to save us from the Devil's rage
Screams of horror falling from her timber sides
As the crew fell into the Devil's tide
And I - tethered to the helm - watched them die
As we climbed even higher into the Devil's eye
And as the Angel's body creaked and cracked
We finally scaled the crest and rode upon the Devil's back
Just before I fainted and my world went black
I woke up in the morning high on a mountain side
Never knowing just how I had survived
knowing only that my Angel and my crew had died
Many years have come and gone since then
And I am forever haunted by each and every one of them
My faithful crew and my mighty 'Angel of the Blue'
I see their faces in my dreams
As I awaken to their screams
Wishing, too - that I had died
But someone had to live
To tell the tale of the 'Devil's Tide'.

Entry for contest: Legends
Awarded: First Place
Early one morning a group of rookie's and veteran's ballplayers emerge onto the prac-
tice field destine to began an grueling season of hardwork and a dedication to an common-
goal of Superiority. They come out of the locker room after the coach has given assign-
ment's and now everyone minds are on one accord, one agenda and together they all say to
themselve's. "The road to a Championship began when the priority to be the best", "is know
from one and all roads to success is gear towards teamwork and passionate loyalty to suc-
ceed at any means there is". Loyalty to push on through the inclimate weather, hardwork off
the field as well on the field is approachable only when a championship atmosphere surrounds
itself with ballplayer's and not attitude's disrespectful to the cause of the challenge's to be-
come the best at what you do, and do the best at what not to do. Teamwork is a do-able part
of the puzzle, but there's more to it then that. There is hunger, and then all the pieces falls
together when that hunger is fed an astronomical desire that fill-up the body and your minds
with offensive and defensive individual's that love's victory and enjoy's a desire to not finish
the race in last place. So out emerge's a champion in his relationship to his fellow ballplayers
and to his family as that of maturity and that of unlimited resources of the uncoachable en-
tangable fortitude that seperate the advantage's over the disadvantages that make his or her
teammate's reach the level of sportsmenship unseen and redeem as the fans come to see a
player that value's himself and value the diffucult task of Sunday to Sunday ability to be not
only a scholar athelete but also The road of a Champion is what make's him love to compete:
I wonder if my false smile fools anyone at all?
Perhaps I am pulling it off!
Do I look like someone who does this every day?
Do I seem self assured and confident?
No one seems to pay me notice...
I purposely chose an aisle seat
Yes....I'm ashamed to admit it...
I'm one of those you hear about,!...Go ahead...laugh if you like...
Yes, hate to tell you, but I'm cursed with a fear of flying!
Oh I know....you'll tell me all that nonsense about aeronautics
How it's safer than driving the freeways...yeah...right...
Sorry....I can't hear you....my heart is pounding too loudly
My head is throbbing...my hands are shaky, my knees are trembling...
Ahhh.... a deep breath, ...ahh...another....wheww....
Oh-oh!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH this is it!!!!!
Ohhhh...ohhh....oooooo ....here we go!!!......
I'll just look at the floor, ...
O.K. O.K. come on..!! ....Try to think of pleasant thoughts!
Ummmm...green grass, ....uhh, butterflies,.. flowers, ...dirt,...wonderful wonderful dirt! ...
What are those for?? Oh yes, I remember,...the small lights beneath our feet
Leading us (HOPEFULLY!!)...( just in case...you know...)
Oh, God...for escaping in the dark!! ....IF escape were necessary (or even possible!!)
Oh Lord!
Little lights that lead ...to..to...where is it??? Oh, there....the exit!!
That's the nearest exit...(must remember....closest one I count is five rows ahead)....
Hmm...better count again....five rows...
Count them again...yes...one, two, three, four, five...
Do NOT listen to the deafening noise of the engines...
What was that??!! I said... "DON'T LISTEN!!"....
Deep breath.....ahhh
The couple next to me
So animated in their conversation
They seem deeply enthralled by the landscape below them
Just sitting there...joking, and enjoying and pointing.....
Hmm..just a peek....WOW!...Look at that world...it's shrinking in size so rapidly!
Deep breath....
Hmm....well now, ....this isn't so hard...
Actually, well, maybe just another quick look....hmmm.....
If I crane my neck a bit....wow...I can see the ocean in the distance
I can see the patchwork of man's mark on the earth
Wow! Wow !! ...would ya look at that???!
Wow, beautiful !! .... Gotta get a window seat for the flight home !!!...
Wow!.....Amazing..........! That view.....................incredible!!!!
What's that....?? "Oh...yes..a coke would be nice..thank you!"
Hey...this isn't so bad.... Wow....look!! I can see the curvature of the earth....Wow!!!
Hey.....this is AWESOME!!!!
The clouds are now fading,
as the rainbow of life breaks through,
once my tears fell heavy,
but now only a trace of misty blue.
Sometimes we have no reason,
answers can't be found,
but we still stand on our Faith,
praying for stable ground.
Many pathways are given,
that's where common sense can't be blind,
for what we choose today,
can push us forward, or leave us behind.
Years are a blessing,
if we learn from where we've been,
but if we never humble our self,
the clouds will come again.
Everyone has a story,
our journey of tears, and smiles,
we are the keepers of the memories,
and all those lifetime miles.
We bound down the stairs, out into the light-of-day, and into the blue of the
misty breezes, heavily laden with the smell of wild sea salt roses that grow in
perfusion along the winding road, that bends and turns in gentle lifts and dips to
the other side of the bay, where it crosses the bridge and rises up and winds
away, over the hill.
Overhead the seagulls screech and glide over the ocean spray that washes on
the rocks on the lower banks behind our house along the Fundy Bay, where we
run like the wind through the fields of fresh cut hay and make our way to the
rocky mantle below .
There in the volcanic plateau, worn smooth as glass by the constant rolling
weight of the ocean, is our pool, known by all in our village, as 'Lizza's Bathtub',
created by the eruption of the earth's inner core, millennia's ago.
We slip into the still, salty water that has been warmed beneath the blazing sun,
and float with the perry winkles and tiny crabs and listen to the sound of the
ocean, that roars beneath us as it leaves in the receding tide, while we drift
away, in our minds, my little brother the 'King' and I, the 'Queen' for a day on
the 'Fundy Bay'.
Hello friend, Do you see that man on the corner by the street?
He is holding the cardboard saying "homeless and I need to eat."
If you're not too busy, come with me on a journey back to 1969.
It will help you to look past his appearence and beyond his homemade sign.
This is the 1960's, where they thrived on the American Dream.
The women were real ladies, or at least in public thats what it seems.
Today is High School graduation, So much happiness is in the air,
But, These young men have recieved papers, and Uncle Sam expects them there.
Do you recognize the bone structure of this boy standing on our right?
He is the one from the future corner, he was Valedictorian tonight.
So well dressed, and raised up right, his sweetheart by his side.
He has no reason to be fearful of the draft, he is filled with American Pride.
Fast foward, Just a few weeks, to him and his young new wife,
Kissing so passionately, pressing pause on their future, and their life.
He is dropped down in the jungle, amist the sounds of live fire.
He sees injured men being lifted out, as the SGT's on the wire.
Just a young boy of 19, he is scared beyond his witts,
Yet, he completes every mission he is given, he never quits.
He holds the hands of friends, who was cut down in their prime.
Yes, this is the same man, the one you wouldn't give a dime.
He arrives back home, in the year of 1972.
His tour earned him a purple heart, he took bullets for you.
once at home, he is expecting affection from his lover,
but, he has been gone for so long she already found another.
So at 21 years old, this veteran is now a man,
He drinks his memories away, everynight if he can.
He gave an eye, and two of the best friends he has ever known.
He never was told "thank you", and he has nothing to call his own.
If you pay close attention to the newspapers of '72
you will see in the protest, they blamed the drafted soilders too.
so here is this man, young, and broken, yet, still not ashamed.
He proudly answered the call, when the draft listed his name.
Only a fellow Veteran, could even try to understand,
That there are no surviving Vets, a part of them died in Vietnam.
When they returned they expected welcome parties and smiles.
Instead they were placed in a new war, but, it was their uniform on trial.
If you still feel the same as you did before our walk.
Go on about your day, forget about our talk.
But, if you have decided, you can look beyond his sign.
Maybe understand his pain, and give our hero a dime.
Little Bee, Deaamoo, grandmother of the Crane Clan, lies staring. The light of
winter's first full moon falls into the room. Through a ghostly haze of tobacco and
sage smoke, she sees her loved ones. One withered hand clasps a cowrie shell,
mee-ghis, tightly to her heart and in the other she holds a small dreamcatcher for
her youngest granddaughter Little Aamoo. Strands of gray white hair escape from
her braids which trail down beside her bird-frail form touching the fringe of her
parting dress. Her clan has been in the sweat lodge praying for her safe journey
home, some appear red-cheeked; others are a pale as the shades of her
ancestors. It is the end of her days, a time for passing on.
Outside of the house near the fringe of balsam pine a circle of stones are laid, each
one blessed and bringing an anchoring comfort to man, lodged between earth, and
sky. The four directions are marked and her way west is clear for her. Soon, she will
ask loved ones to lay here amongst the gifts laid for Pacugu, The Great horned Owl,
near the spirit house.
The veil is thin now between this world and the next. The smoke branches upward,
showing the way to sky world where Gichi Manidoo waits. The songs are being sung
for her now. The Shaman's rattle is crisp and clear. All about her is beauty. Drums
keep the beat of her heart. They wait. Remembering one last story, she calls her
family to her, she must leave them with all the knowledge she has. "Ah, what was
that story? Well, that is not for you."

Emilio Estevez on new film: 'It was the divine'
Writer/director says 'The Way,' starring father Martin Sheen, had providence on its side
When asked after a recent screening about the making of The Way, which stars his father in the lead role, writer-director Emilio Estevez told Catholic New Service, "I've stopped using the word coincidence" to describe the process. "It was providence. ... It was the divine."
The film, slated for limited theatrical release this fall, stars Martin Sheen in the story of four Westerners who walk the 500-mile pilgrimage route from the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where tradition says the remains of the apostle St. James are buried. It is named after what is known as The Way of St. James.
I've heard good things about this film, including from CT critic Ken Morefield, who saw it at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall.

Families and unemployment, 2003
April 21, 2004
In 2003, 8.1 percent of families had an unemployed member, an increase of 0.3 percentage point from the prior year. This was the third consecutive year this measure rose.
In an average week in 2003, 6.1 million families had at least one unemployed member, up from 5.8 million families the year before. The proportion of black families with an unemployed member (13.7 percent) was higher than the proportion of white families (7.1 percent), Asian families (9.4 percent), and Hispanic families (11.1 percent).
Of the 6.1 million families with at least one unemployed member, 70.5 percent also had an employed family member. Asian families with unemployment were most likely to have at least one member employed (82.7 percent), followed by white families (73.6 percent), Hispanic families (70.1 percent), and black families (57.3 percent).
These estimates are based on annual average data from the Current Population Survey. See Employment Characteristics of Families in 2003 (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-719, for more information. Data for 2003 reflect revised population controls used in the Current Population Survey. Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.

Fat Blast Factor – What is it?
The Fat Blast Factor is a unique fat loss system where the traditional diet and exercise advise is combined so that the diet increases the effectiveness of the exercise and vice versa. This helps Fat Blast Factor create a snowball effect to accelerate your fat loss to the point where you'll get the body you deserve in no time.
Fat Blast Factor – How does it work?
There are two core elements to Fat Blast Factor, diet, and exercise. The diet portion of Fat Blast Factor forces your body to shed as many toxins from itself as possible and boost your own natural metabolism. It's sort of like rebooting your body back to when you were a kid and full of energy. The Fat Blast Factor diet focuses on keeping your body guessing what nutrients are being sent down. The more nutrients that are sent down in as varied forms as possible, the more your body has to work in order to unpackage those nutrients to get what it needs to keep up with your sometimes relentless workouts.
The second core element of the Fat Blast Factor is the exercise component. Muscle consumes more calories than fat, that's a long proven point. All you need to do is increase not necessarily the size of your muscles, but increase the amount of calories that your muscles consume. That means you need to focus your exercise not on bulking up your muscles, but rather on building up your muscles to consume more calories per day. That's what Fat Blast Factor does for you, it helps increase your body's consumption of fat, while simultaneously increasing your muscle's consumption of fat to the point where you have to eat large meals to maintain your muscle needs.

The next big disaster could strike anywhere, anytime and a growing number of people are getting prepared. They are the preppers next door stocking up on food, supplies and all the tools needed to survive.
In the past few years, we've seen superstorms, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns and meteor strikes around the globe. Few could have predicted the devastation from these deadly disaster.
"Since the year 2000, more than a million people have died in catastrophic events," said Jay Blevins, an ex-law enforcement officer and self-identified prepper.
These catastrophic threats have led to an explosion of people like him who are preparing for the unthinkable. He and his family have created a self-sustaining fortress in their Virginia neighborhood.
As he walks into the garage, Blevins points to his stockpile of tools, guns, medical supplies, bottled water and food. He points out his hunting rifle and 308 rounds. As he goes around the garage, you can see an array of knives, axes and machetes on the wall. Each one has a different purpose -- some for hunting, some to cut down trees, others for self-defense.
"We've got sleeping bags, tents things like that," he also pointed out.
In the corner is a generator for power outages. He keeps dozens of gallons of gas in a shed out back to keep it running if needed for weeks or days. If the family has to leave in a hurry, each person has a "bug out bag" stocked with food and emergency supplies. But the garage is only a sampling of their supplies. For the rest, you have to go down into the basement.
"We've got about eight months worth of food," Blevins said.
As he opens the pantry, the lights come on to reveal shelves full of food: cans of fruits and vegetables, powdered drink mixes, vitamins and more medical supplies. That's only half of it. He walks across to another closet.
"This is the long-term storage food," he explained. "A lot of this stuff lasts between 10 and 25 years. It's mostly freeze dried. It's everything from carrots to macaroni, different vegetables, fruits."
Together with a network of 15-other prepper families, the Blevins also run emergency preparedness drills.
"We're preparing for the breakdown of social order caused by an economic collapse," he proclaimed in an episode of the National Geographic television's hit series "Doomsday Preppers."
In the episode, he shows how to make homemade pepper spray using large squirt guns. The group runs through a scenario to defend the home from people trying to break in.
"Let's get the house secured, let's get the windows locked," someone yells as people outside try to bang down the doors.
It's reality TV that goes to extremes. That's what stuck out to Charlie Parsons, Vice President of Global Development and Production for National Geographic television. He describes the show's viewers as two different types.
"I think there is an emotional reaction you have when you watch this show and that's what makes it so appealing and it's 'I can't believe I'm watching what I'm seeing' or 'That's cool. I want to know more,'" he said.
Parsons had a gut instinct from the start that the show had potential. What he had to do was figure out how to make it work.
The economy wasn't doing well, and it was only a few years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina. The timing was right as people wondered who would take care of them in a disaster if the government couldn't.
"Doomsday Preppers" was the answer, teaching people to take care of themselves.
"Some people do believe an asteroid is coming. Some people are worried about solar flares, the economy collapsing, and some people, it's an earthquake or a tornado," Parsons said describing the wide range of people featured on the show.
After two seasons, "Doomsday Preppers" is one of National Geographic television's highest rated shows. More episodes are set to air this summer.
Once considered on the fringe, preppers are now going mainstream. It's estimated there are three million preppers in the U.S.
Dr. Carl Lejuez, a psychologist and Director of Clinical Training at the University of Maryland, believes much of it is triggered by fear.
"As the world becomes more dangerous and things feel more difficult to control, it becomes for many people a way to have a little bit of control over something in their lives," said Lejuez.
It's a fine line between prepping and paranoia when every minute of every day is thinking about impending doom. In a 24/7 news cycle, Lejuez says the barrage of disasters can also feed anxieties.
"As you start doing this, it can become an obsession in its own right and you start to think you need to do more. You can always be safer," he said.
If people start to isolate themselves from friends and family, avoid going places and spend all their time and energy prepping, that's when he says it crosses the line.
At first, Holly Blevins didn't share her husband's passion. But she is proud to call herself a prepper now. In one episode, as they run a drill, the mother of three declares, "My only thought is to make sure none of these men get past me to my kids."
Becoming a mom is what now motivates her. She calls it her "momma bear instinct." She can survive with much less, but knows her children need her to protect them.
"They know mommy and daddy are preppers," she said.
The Blevins teach their kids survival skills in everyday activities such as camping. They learn how to fish, make a fire and how to use an emergency blanket if needed. In many ways, they are very much a normal family.
On this night, they sat around the table sharing cookies and milk before bedtime. They talked about school, sports and their day.
"They go on with their lives," Holly said. "They play with their friends, go to their soccer games. They don't put too much stock into it."
They have a large garden in the back, which provides fruits and vegetables for canning. All of the trees and shrubs are edible, producing fruits and berries. They have rain barrels which collect fresh water.
Prepping is just a way of life, but it can also be a large financial investment. The Blevins estimate they've spent $15,000 to $20,000 amassing all the supplies they need to be prepared. They've acquired it gradually over time, and now cycle through their food as it expires and restock.
Jay Blevins has now written a book about it, titled "Survival and Emergency Preparedness Skills."
"We're living in a time where there are a lot of uncertainties," he said. "There's uncertainty in the economy. There's uncertainty in politics, there's uncertainty in natural disasters."
One of the main things he says people can do is keep a "get home bag" in their car or at their desk should something happen and they need food or supplies to get home.
Consider what happened on 9/11 when people got stuck trying to escape the city. Blevins has got home bags for everyone stocked in the car. It's come in handy on occasion, when the kids are stuck in traffic and need something to eat and drink.
If something more serious really does happen, preppers know they'll also have what it takes to survive.

Al Gore has issued a lot of challenges to us in the buy cialis in canada last few years. In recent months, he's made speeches calling for us to go carbon neutral in 10 years. In September, he encouraged civil disobedience and how do i get cialis just last Friday at the Web 2.0 Summit, he asked us to use the web to organize a social movement to cheap cialis canada save the planet (we're already on it, Al!).
But in yesterday's op-ed piece in The New York Times, his challenge was to just one person: President-elect Obama. He again called for clean electricity by 2018, but this time he presented a five-part plan, the cornerstone of davenportinstitute.com which is a $400 billion federal investment in a smart grid. He notes that the way out of the climate crisis also carries a solution to the the economic crisis, citing how government funding of new infrastructure projects brought us out of the Great Depression.
Here are the five steps in Gore's plan:
- Large-scale investments in incentives for solar thermal plants in the Southwest, wind farms stretching from Texas to the Dakotas and advanced geothermal plants in known hot spots.
- $400 billion over 10 years for a unified national smart grid that would transport renewable energy from the propecia without perscription rural areas where it's generated to the cities where it's needed. It should include smart features that would allow consumers to conserve electricity and reduce bills.
- Help the automobile industry (the large automakers and new start-ups) to convert to plug-in hybrids that utilize the smart grid.
- A nationwide initiative to retrofit buildings with better insulation and energy-efficient windows and lighting. He asks that the initiative be coupled with the proposal in Congress to help Americans with mortgages that are more expensive than the value of their homes.
- Put a price on carbon and lead world efforts to come up with a more effective replacement to the Kyoto treaty.

The list looks like it came from the CliffNotes of this site (or any other green sites/articles for that matter).
Don't get me wrong, the ideas are great, but they're no different than comments made every day on sites like this.

If Al Gore actually layed out a detailed project (of how to actually achieve the goals, and not just what they are, and having reasearched the discount viagra pharmacy ideas fully, to see if they really are beneficial), and invested a lot of his own money in to the project, then I'd be impressed, and think it'll work, but as it is now, it's as effective as some crazy nut off the street going up to the president, and telling the president the changes he thinks the government need to take.

One thing related to this. Steel Production is a very carbon intensive process. There really is no substitute for coke for turning iron ore into iron/steel Do we really want to forbid steel production?
# Put a price on carbon and lead world efforts to come up with a more effective replacement to the Kyoto treaty.
As to a replacement for Kyoto, if you are going to do it, you do not tax countries by 'production' of CO2, but by 'consumption' of CO2 producing products. Currently, under Kyoto, if a country produced 10 Billion tons of carbon and cut their own production to 9 Billion tons, they are fine. But lets say they did that by exporting their factories to a country that has no requirements to reduce CO2 under Kyoto. China, for instance, has much less efficient factories and essentially non existent environmental laws. Lets say that country now imports products that require 2 Billion tons to produce. The country has actually increased their carbon footprint by 10%, not decreased it by 10%. This was the major flaw in Kyoto that effectively neutered the entire idea and, in fact, probably made Kyoto worse than no Kyoto at all.

Long distance DC transmission involves raising the voltage (a conversion) to several hundred thousand volts. It is generally worthwhile to do this only in area where you have long 'straight' runs. The capacitance in the lines would cause a sufficiently large decrease in the power in an AC system so DC is used in it's place. So far, this is the only time that DC has been found to be more efficient than AC.
The 'high loss' in DC came from using low voltage DC transmission. This required massive amounts of current that had large losses in the power lines. A power plant would have been required every few miles to run the grid at 120VDC. AC, on the other hand, was easily converted to higher voltage. Higher voltage=lower current=lower losses=higher efficiency. However, today we have the capability of performing fairly efficient high voltage AC/DC and DC/DC conversion that did not exist 120 years ago. However, the DC/DC conversions are still less efficient than the AC/AC conversions.
There are only two reasons why DC transmission should be use, efficiency is not one of them. The first is that the grid will be more stable with a DC grid. The 2003 blackout was caused by the buy levitra low price voltage sin wave getting out of sync in Ohio. Going to a DC grid will eliminate that problem and reduce large scale blackouts. The second reason is for very long distance transmission where the line loss due to capacitance would be prohibitive as mentioned above. Either way, a DC grid would still have to convert to AC at the household as just about every appliance is designed to run on AC from the outlet.

I am a bit disappointed in Al Gore. Yes, he has studied energy and for the most part understands the issues. That said, he still misses one of the most powerful strategies.
We must diversify in an overwhelming fashion. The energy battle will not be won without Oil, Clean Coal, or more Nuclear Energy.
We need it all. If it can produce energy, then we need it. Natural Gas, More Oil, Solar, Wind, Geo, Bio, Nuke, Clean Coal, Algae, Hydro, Hydrogen, etc. Nothing should be taken off of link for you lowest viagra price the table. Additionally, our elected leaders need to force Detroit to market products relevant to 2008.

Inflation Expectations
Keeping inflation expectations "contained" seems to be an important preoccupation for central bankers. This is because the expectation of higher inflation induces changes in economic behavior that impose costs on the economy, which, over time, are detrimental to long-term prosperity. For example, when people anticipate an increase in inflation—and the corresponding decline in the purchasing power of their money—they are more likely to invest their wealth in real assets, such as land or commodities. This reallocation is a less efficient use of resources than what may have occured if people didn't have to seek this inflation-protected form of saving. Rising inflation expectations may also help to perpetuate an otherwise temporary rise in prices, making the job of maintaining price stability more difficult to achieve.
To gauge inflation expectations, economists turn to a number of sources, including surveys of consumers, financial market data, and economists' predictions. A recent look at each of these sources shows inflation expectations are running anywhere from 2 to 3-1/2 percent, depending on the source and the period over which inflation expectations are projected (1 to 10 years).
Consumers' year-ahead inflation expectations were elevated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and geopolitical issues that drove up the price of oil through last summer but have since tumbled downward. Consumers now anticipate that prices will rise about 3-1/2 percent over the next year. Long-term inflation expectations—which have been slightly higher, on average, over the past couple of years—indicate that consumers anticipate that prices will rise about 3-1/2 percent over the next 5 to 10 years as well.
Household Inflation Expectations*

One source of data from financial markets that can be used to gauge inflation expectations is a comparison of the returns on Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) and regular (nominal) Treasury securities (click here for data and an overview and here for more detail). TIPS-derived inflation expectations have come down a bit in recent months: Investors now expect prices to rise between 2 and 2 ¼ percent over the next 10 years.

Meanwhile, the Blue Chip panel of economists anticipates that quarterly inflation will fall dramatically in the fourth quarter of 2006 and average about 2-1/2 percent over the next two years. In light of the relatively sanguine inflation report for November, the distribution of 2007 forecasts has shifted downward a bit. In December, the consensus forecast was for a 2.1 percent annual growth rate in the CPI in 2007, with a majority of forecasters predicting a 2 to 2-1/2 percent rise in the CPI. In January, the consensus forecast ticked down to 2 percent, with a majority of forecasters predicting a 1-1/2 to 2 percent rise in the CPI in 2007.

Jill Lester, Fall Event 2009
It's Time: Scaling Up The Hunger Project to Achieve a Hunger-Free Future
Remarks delivered by
Jill Lester, President and CEO, The Hunger Project
New York, NY
"We are each other's harvest. We are each other's business. We are each other's magnitude and bond." Those are the words of American poet Gwendolyn Brooks.
For those engaged in the fight against hunger and poverty, this is both a critical and promising moment. And it is particularly so for The Hunger Project family.
This family includes thousands of investors from dozens of countries; this family that includes every single one of us gathered here, in this room, tonight.
This is a family that includes elected women representatives like Rami Devi Nai in India, who uses her position in local government to improve her community's access to education and health. And there is Fazilatun and Zahurul from Bangladesh, husband and wife, who together work to stop child marriage and keep girls in school.
It is a family that includes the HIV positive women, men and children I met recently at Malawi's Champiti Epicenter. These are people who no longer dwell in shame's shadow, but, like all members of our Hunger Project family, are treated with grace, compassion and respect. It was heart-warming, moving and inspiring to see the vibrancy and vitality with which this group of women, men, and children were invited to dance before 2,000 of their fellow community members. They were proud, confident and valued as they held high in their hands, for all to see, their containers of anti-retroviral medicine-life-saving drugs now given, not at a hospital tens of miles away, but now given at the epicenter clinic.
Friends, all these people, and thousands more just like them-just like you-are all part of our Hunger Project family. We are all united in our mission to create a world where all can live a life of dignity, opportunity, and choice.
And now, right now, together, we are bearing witness to an historic moment-a unique confluence of circumstances, an alignment of the stars, which calls on us-indeed, obliges us- to step up and out with confidence and with pride.
Today's global crises are pulling more and more people into hunger's stranglehold. But, at long last, global leaders are responding to these crises by making unprecedented commitments to end hunger in a sustainable way.
And The Hunger Project has never been in a better, nor a stronger place to respond. Our internal readiness is extraordinary.
So, on all counts, the necessary ingredients are in place: a growing global awareness and commitment; The Hunger Project's unique and proven approach; and the wisdom, dreams and hopes of our village partners.
We must not waste another moment-it is time! It is now time for The Hunger Project to scale-up and to grow from "the world's best kept secret" to the forefront and the mainstream of development thinking.
Why is it time? We are on the homestretch to 2015
Now, I should explain-why is it time?
Right now, the world is on the homestretch to 2015, the year when the global community is to have met its promise to achieve the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These goals seek to address poverty in its many dimensions. Too often poverty is defined as lack of income. But it is also lack of education, lack of health, lack of control over one's destiny, lack of agency for women, powerlessness.
And as the MDG finishing line looms ever closer, we should be clear-sighted about the challenges ahead, such as the global recession, which has slowed previous progress towards achieving the MDGs and is causing appalling set backs.
It is estimated that this, together with last year's food price crisis, has pushed the number of the world's undernourished people to over one billion. One in every six people on this planet wake up every morning, and go to bed every evening, hungry.
Here is how The Hunger Project is clearly making a difference:
MDG one-to end poverty and hunger-aspires to reduce the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by half. Right now, this is the most threatened Millennium Development Goal. But, did you know that in Africa, The Hunger Project's Epicenter communities are well on the road to being food secure? Did you know that our food banks at Epicenters across Africa are stocked? Indeed, some are literally overflowing, as I saw myself just a month ago in that desperately poor country of Malawi.
The fourth MDG seeks to reduce, by two-thirds, the child mortality rate. Yet, every single day, 25,000 children under the age of five die from preventable causes. That is one child every three seconds. But, did you know that in the past six months alone, The Hunger Project provided access to vaccinations to nearly 40,000 girls and boys?
Improving maternal health is the fifth goal. Every year, more than a half-million women die from complications during pregnancy or childbirth. But were you aware that just since April, through The Hunger Project, thousands and thousands of pregnant women received pre-natal care and got the opportunity to have medical care close at hand for a safe delivery?
If the world is to come close to achieving its promises, then it is now time for The Hunger Project to urgently scale up and shine its light on more and more people.
There is no time to waste.
Why is it time? World leaders are making unprecedented commitments
The Hunger Project is a beacon of light in the darkness. And at forums, such as the G20, world leaders are beginning to take action to end hunger. Just this year, they have pledged 20 billion dollars to support local farmers-as we know, mostly women-to empower their growth and build their self-reliance. Sound like The Hunger Project's approach, doesn't it?
That's what's so exciting-these commitments are at last consistent with what we have known and practiced over many years: that to end hunger and poverty, people at the grassroots, particularly women, need to be supported and empowered.
On this, I am sure we can all agree it's about time!
Why is it time? The Hunger Project is ready to scale-up
The Hunger Project is a shining beacon, showing that when communities are mobilized, when women are empowered, and when effective partnerships with government are built people can and do build lives of self-reliance in a sustainable and lasting way.
We have broadened our reach, deepened our influence and increased our impact, as we drive towards the achievement of our mission-the end of hunger and poverty!
I've often been asked: "How is it The Hunger Project can achieve so much of what others can not?" I'd like to offer two key reasons. The first reason is plainly obvious-it's you, our committed investors, who number in the thousands. We could never have the impact we have on so many lives throughout the world, without you, without your partnership.
And, I thank you for that partnership and for your boldness. I thank you for your humanity.
And the second key reason for The Hunger Project's success?
Our global staff! Would all Hunger Project staff members from throughout our global organization, please stand and let us recognize you!
And, I would like to introduce our Country Directors-men and women, who work, day in and day out, directly, with our grassroots partners.
They are: from Bangladesh, Dr. Badiul Majumdar; from Benin, Pascal Djohossou; from Burkina Faso, Dr. Idrissa Ousmane Dicko; from Ethiopia, Dr. W.A. Gubaie; from Ghana, Dr. Naana Agyemang-Mensah; from India, Rita Sarin; from Malawi, Rowlands Kaotcha; from Mexico, Lorena Vázquez; from Mozambique, Ofélia Santos Simão; from Senegal, Madeleine Cisse ; and from Uganda, Irene Wasike Muwanguzi.
Please carry with you-home to your countries and our grassroots partners-the love, admiration and respect of everyone in this room.
I also want to take this opportunity to recognize a man who has a deep love and unflagging devotion to the African people; a leader as comfortable advising villagers on what trees to plant, as he is conversing in easy but persuasive terms with heads of state.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Fitigu Tadesse, the architect of our Epicenter Strategy, has just celebrated his twentieth anniversary with us and has indicated his intention to retire. Fitigu, congratulations and thank you from us all!
The Hunger Project can take pride in the many creative innovations consistently being introduced, and I would like to treat you to a tiny sample. This is not to pat ourselves on the back, but rather to actively push back on the pessimisms that we sometimes encounter-the attitudes that tell us that the problems of hunger and poverty are too big to be solved.
Take for example, Meliya Mwambucha, one of our partners in Malawi.
She has invented a portable food warmer, using a cane basket, a cloth and some straw. With this invention she transports cooked rice from her home to the market. The rice stays hot, and her customers love it! In effect, she has a Malawian fast food stand!
Even more remarkable is that Meliay has created and expanded her business through a special microfinance loan from The Hunger Project for people living with HIV/AIDS. This itself is a unique Hunger Project innovation. Other microfinance organizations say: "Why provide people living with HIV/AIDS loans when they may pass away before paying back them back?"
The Hunger Project is different. We believe all people have the right to dignity and independence. With that in mind, our Malawi team created a microfinance program specifically for HIV positive people, so that women like Meliya have the opportunity to innovate, create and contribute.
With increased incomes, they have more money to buy nutritious food and life-saving drugs. In Meliya's words: "I have now put on weight. I used to weigh 38 kilograms..."
That's a gaunt 84 pounds.
"Now," she says "I am 70 kilograms."
That's a robust 154 pounds!
Thousands of miles away, in Bangladesh, an entirely different sort of innovative success is underway. Through a partnership with the British Council, The Hunger Project is seeking to inspire thousands of young people in that country to empower them to create and implement social action projects-innovative solutions to address their country's most pressing issues.
And, in Uganda, we have achieved a phenomenal breakthrough-one that may result in the greatest impact in achieving our mission on a wide scale. The government of Uganda is so impressed by our results, by what we have achieved with so little money, so convinced that we have the most effective strategy to end hunger and poverty on a sustainable basis, that the President has personally suggested our Epicenter Strategy be used in his country's new five year plan.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is relationships like this that will bring us ever closer to achieving our mission.
I hope that all this extraordinary evidence has enabled you to share my view, that it really is time. With every passing moment, more of our fellow human beings unnecessarily succumb to hunger's deadly grip. World leaders, at last, are making commitments consistent with The Hunger Project's proven approach. And we, The Hunger Project, we know how to truly make this a hunger-free world.
Call to Action
There is a Chinese proverb: "If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want a hundred years of prosperity, grow people."
As did their mothers and grandmothers before them, our partners in villages around the world, are doing the hard work of ending their own hunger. They are planting seeds. Some will yield vegetables and grains to provide much needed nourishment. But with The Hunger Project's partnership they are planting other seeds-a different kind of seed-that will bear fruit of a more lasting nature. Seeds that will yield not just 100 years of prosperity-I would venture to say centuries.
Our partners are indeed "growing people." They are growing themselves. They are growing self-sufficient futures for their children.
What greater harvest could there be than communities achieving self-reliance?!
With The Hunger Project's partnership, there's increasing equality between women and men; lasting and effective relationships with local governments; food security and nutrition; women in leadership positions; more children in school; access to healthcare, particularly for women and children; safe drinking water; and so very much more.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time!
The factors are aligned, here and now. World attention is at last on solving hunger. There is an urgent and imperative need that this be done in a sustainable way, and The Hunger Project knows how to do this.
This synergy has never happened before. We cannot let this moment pass. Seize it. We owe it to the hungry. They are counting on us.
This is my call to action to you, tonight.
Let us recognize that wherever we are in the world, we are, indeed, one another's harvest. Recognize that, together, we can yield a more plentiful and abundant harvest for the future. Recognize, in the words of Gandhi, that we must be the change we wish to see in the world. If we do that-if we live that commitment-we will have our lasting legacy, lasting for centuries.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time!

Should social media be taught in school?
More and more kids are being bullied on social media, few even losing their lives. Also a lot of them spoil their future job possibilities by posting something stupid online because they don't understand future employers must be watching.

Feb 28 2013: Will an hour lesson have enough of an impact? I think parents and schools need to be a team in teaching kids the do and don'ts of internet use, especially social media. But we have to remember the technology divide as well. Many kids have parents who just aren't up to speed with technology. It takes a village.

Did this come out this week? I forgot to pick it up. Oh well, I'm broke anyway.
I've only read the Bendis & Mays story thus far, but damn, I think this helps piece together some things, huh? It also leaves us with more questions. Gotta love that "To be continued in New Avengers" bit at the end.
So, was this mystery dude in Jessica's apartment the one she was working with at the beginning of New Avengers? He has something to do with it at least I think.
Did this come out this week? I forgot to pick it up. Oh well, I'm broke anyway.
Knowledge is power; power corrupts. Therefore, knowledge corrupts. Ignorance is bliss.
Marvel please give Jessica back her own series again.
I picked it up, looked at it and then put it back. I should have at least read the Bendis story but I didn't really care.

Cho would be good, but damn would I love to see Mays on it. Seeing the short by him and Bendis made me want these two on an on-going.Originally Posted by thatguylobo
I'd rather see Terry and Rachel Dodson than Frank Cho. But I'd take Frank Cho too.
Of course, as I just mentioned, I'm short on funds right now and having to look at decreasing my monthly comics purchases as it is, so I'd probably not pick it up either way.

ATLANTA — A bill with the backing of House Republican leadership would give the General Assembly the authority to decide whether the state should expand Medicaid under the federal health care law.
It was filed earlier this month with little fanfare but it has considerable political ramifications. Gov. Nathan Deal has already refused to expand Medicaid, and the Republican-controlled House and Senate are unlikely to vote in favor of expansion.
Supporters of the bill, including Deal, say lawmakers should have a say over a policy decision with a significant effect on the state budget. They argue the bill isn't political, although Republicans have sought to put Democrats on the defensive by having to explain why they would oppose giving themselves a vote on whether to expand Medicaid.

As most of you know, Cliff turned three last Sunday! And we had a Monster Truck bash! Here is a glimpse of his party!
This is the banner I made last year. (It used to say "Cliff is Two." I took the "Two" off and made a new "3!")
Here is a shot of the treat table:
Cliff's Monster Truck Cupcakes! (Note: red icing NOT recommended... I'll never make THAT mistake again!)
Cliff's riding toys that all of the children played on!
Family shot with the birthday boy!
It's almost official, He really IS Three!
I'd say Cliff's Monster Truck Party was a hit!
Now I gotta start planning Harper's first birthday party... they REALLY do grow up waaaaay too fast...

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
That leaves Lee, Randolph, and Aldridge for two spots. All three rank as average or worse defenders, and Lee is probably at the bottom, even though he's worked harder on that end — and on the boards — this season. He's always going to be undersized and slow, with a short wingspan that limits his ability to protect the rim and contest shots in the post; opponents have shot a robust 48 percent against him in post-ups this season, per Synergy Sports, and the Warriors often have to send him help.
The Blazers don't have to send Aldridge help, and his head-to-head assignments are just 20-of-70 against him in the post, per Synergy. Aldridge's defense has probably regressed or plateaued since his breakout 2010-11 season, but he's still pretty quick, comfortable defending the pick-and-roll in several different ways, and tall/long enough to be a factor down low even when his effort and positioning wane.
Aldridge's jumper-happy start to the season hurt his efficiency, but he has found a bit more balance in his shot selection during the last month or so as he and Terry Stotts develop their player-coach chemistry. Aldridge can be a Randolph-style post bulwark when he wants to be, and he's shooting only two percentage points worse than Z-Bo for the season. He's a better/longer defender in space, though not in Randolph's league on the glass.
Basically: This is an impossible choice. But since I have to make one, I'll reward Lee for his 52 percent shooting — easily the best among three offense-first players — and ability to work as an efficient cog in just about every way the Warriors' offensive system could ask. Aldridge gets the nod over Randolph for working as the clear no. 1 guy on his team, even if Damian Lillard has seized that mantle in crunch time. But if you want Randolph, that's absolutely fine.

Training Tip #1 - Awareness
Before we talk about actual objects we can use as defensive weapons, we must train ourselves to increase our level of, what the military and law enforcement sometimes call, 'situational awareness'.
This simply means look and see in an active, engaged way. Obviously different situations require different levels of awareness. Entering a poorly lit car park or hallway at night requires a different level of awareness than say, sitting at home in an easy chair reading.
Training Tip #2 – Shielding Objects
Let's now talk about the importance of using stationary shielding and barrier type objects such as walls, posts, columns, trees, fences etc. These can all be used to create a barrier between you and a threat.
By their nature, in most cases we have to maneuver behind these objects. Most times, provided the attacker is not using a weapon that fires a projectile, distance and some type of barrier will defeat the attack.
Training Tip #3 – Common Objects
Common Objects exist all around us in almost any environment we work, live and move in. If you are in an outside/inside environment such as a bus stop, walking to your car, jogging in a park, eating at a restaurant or coffee shop you will almost always find sticks, rocks, sand or dirt, trees (for shielding) park benches (for shielding) trash cans, chairs and tables.
You must start identifying these types of objects, NOW. You must make it apart of your training when you leave your Krav Maga class or studio.

PEÑITAS—The City of Peñitas met at a special meeting on Feb. 19, approving a resolution to begin planning another round of annexations in 2013. In December 2012 Peñitas annexed 1,300 acres, including 457.9 acres of voluntary annexations.
Finance Director Oscar Cuellar said the city is allowed to annex just under 500 acres for the year 2013.
"We were looking at extending up to 4 Mile Line, and maybe past that to include Corina Peña Elementary," Cuellar said. "There are some areas to the north of us and a little to the west."
Cuellar added if those are the only areas annexed, it leaves some room for more annexations later in the year. He said the city is on a plan to eventually move further north, and a draft map will be ready for the next regular meeting.
The proposed area of annexation is estimated to have a little over four people per household, totaling 800-900 people in the area.
City Manager Noe Cavazos explained the approval authorizes the members of their staff to prepare service plans and set public hearing dates.
"We are looking into how much we can annex," Cavazos said. "We are also meeting with Mission Mayor (Norberto) Salinas to discuss ETJs (extraterritorial jurisdictions) to see if we are in our jurisdiction."
The commission also approved assigning of judges and clerks for the early voting and the May 2013 General Election.
