We all know that one of the most important elements of job satisfaction is a positive relationship between a supervisor and an employee. At Randstad, we refer to this as Boss Fit. As we approach International Boss Day (Tuesday October 16th 2012) I've put together a list, in no particular order, of behaviours and qualities I think make a great boss. Here are 12 simple steps on how to be a great boss.
1. Have a vision and knows how to communicate it, paint a picture with words. 2. Have passion and knows how to get you excited and connected to the vision. 3. Acts as a resource. Help employees succeed at their job. 4. Make employees feel valued. Explaining how their work is contributing to the big picture.5. Provide opportunities for growth and development within the company. Have faith in your employees' abilities and know how to push them to accomplish great things. 6. Foster a positive work atmosphere where their team will work collaboratively towards the company's goals. 7. Provide positive and constructive feedback to help you grow and develop professionally. 8. Acknowledge your employees' work. You need to recognize performance in order to maintain motivatation on your team. 9. Be a good decision maker. They are quick but not impulsive and once a decision is made they are committed to it. 10. Trust. Delegate tasks and projects and believe in your employees' abilities while remaining available for guidance. When something goes wrong don't point your finger,be a part of the solution. 11. keeps promises and follows through on commitments. 12. Show compassion. Treat your employees like people. If there is a death in the family or even if they are having a bad day, be empathetic.

Endurance, commitment and relentless drive, does this describe your ideal employee? If so, consider the fact that athletes master many great skills which are transferable to the world of work. Their life skills are qualities of a good employee that can be applied to any field of career and are often sought after by hiring managers. Living in a country that offers four seasons is a treat (most of the year) but it can be difficult for people whose careers and livelihood depend on the seasons and Mother Nature! In response, Randstad Canada has partnered with PGA of Canada in order to provide golf pros with the opportunity to gain off-season employment through an 'Athletes Placement Program'. With a short golf season in Canada this initiative allows us to help the PGA of Canada members ensure a better living during off season months.In case you're wondering, here are 6 of the most common transferable skills for athletes:
1. Setting Targets: Serious athletes practice daily. They know their current times, their capacities and what they need to do to win the game. If a runner wants to decrease his time by 1 second by their next race then he or she has a deadline. They need to be rigorous in their training to reach their goal and overcome any challenges that arise.
2. Reaching goals: Athletes understand that goal setting is one of the most important skills they learn as it helps them achieve optimal performance. The process of goal setting helps athletes understand where they are at the moment and where they want to be.
3. Commitment: Athletes demonstrate determination and perseverance in achieving their dreams. They continue to play even after a tough loss, they understand that if you fail the first time you need to persevere and keep trying.
4. Performing under pressure: Do you get 'butterflies' in your stomach before a big presentation or meeting? An athlete goes through similar emotions. They get nervous and jittery before a big game and many learn to channel this pressure into positive intensity to boost their performance.
5. Problem Solving: Athletes learn this so that when situations change, game plans fail, opponents change tactics, or other problems arise, they can modify their strategies and techniques.
6. Interpersonal Skills: Athletes acquire team-related and interpersonal skills, such as the ability to deal with people and work together towards a common goal. Athletes who participate in team sports have to learn to get along with their teammates and coaches if they want to reach optimal performance. How often have we seen great players have bad seasons because they weren't well paired with their teammates?
Sounds like the type of person I'd want on my team. Don't you agree?

Every company needs student recruitment strategies to put into play in order to hire the best talent and to gain a competitive edge over their competition. Face it - one of the most effective methods for recruiting and connecting with Canada's brightest undergraduate and graduate students is to develop and maintain a strategic and visible presence on campuses across the country.
Still don't see the value? Here are 5 reasons why your company needs effective student recruitment strategies now:
The war on talent. An aging population, the first baby boomers turning 65 and the declining birth rate point to a serious talent shortage in the coming years. A good campus recruiting strategy will certify a steady flow of new grads into your company year after year will ensure that you build a pipeline of future leaders. If you have gaps in your intake you'll have gaps in your supply!
Your competitive edge. Recruiting is becoming more competitive. Top campus employers have a strong offering and get to the top students first, while they are still at school. Don't let your competitor snag the best ones, a good campus recruiting strategy will keep your company 'top of mind' when it comes time for those students to think about work.
Increase diversity of generations in your workforce. There are numerous benefits to multigenerational teams when they work well together. An inclusive work environment will lead to business success by enhancing a company's business results. For example your company will gain from stronger decision making because they'll be broad-based with multiple perspectives and the team will be more innovative and creative.
Groom and promote from within. Hiring your employees straight out of university will allow you to mold them to your ideal. These new hires are coached and mentored from within then promoted, enabling higher employee retention and engagement rates.
Ensure the transfer of knowledge. You want to make sure knowledge is shared among your employees. You want to make sure it stays within your company and isn't lost when older workers retire.
Does your company have a great strategy in place? What hurdles have you encountered? What are your best practices? Post a comment below and share your thoughts.

Administrative jobs include a wide range of responsibilities - making travel arrangements, screening calls, planning meetings, taking minutes, and maintaining schedules, just to name a few! Professionals in this industry are able to work well and efficiently without supervision and maintain the highest level of confidentiality. They are invaluable to companies – not unlike an engine to a car!
And did you know that this year marks the 60th anniversary of Administrative Professionals' Day?
With the evolution of technology and an even bigger change in corporate cultures, the job of an Administrative Professional has changed dramatically over the course of the last 6 decades. However, through all of this progress and change, one thing remains constant - the valuable role an Administrative Professional plays within the company or department they work for.
According to the International Association of Administrative Professionals, there are more than 475,000 admin professionals employed in Canada and millions more who work in offices all over the world. With exceptional organizational abilities, great attention to detail and strong writing skills, the people who work in administrative jobs occupy key positions on teams throughout companies everywhere. In fact, their contribution to a company is so considerable, I would go so far as to say they ensure the daily functioning of the teams they support!
That has certainly been the case in my experience and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Administrative Professionals that I've had the opportunity to work with over the years. It has always been a pleasure to work with you. Thanks for your commitment, dedication and enthusiasm with which you completed your work every day.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the hundreds other professionals in administrative jobs that walk through our doors every day. Thank you for choosing to work with Randstad and for the instrumental role you play in the success of companies across Canada with your great work.
Administrative Professionals' Day is April 25. Do you work with an outstanding Administrative Professional? Tell us about them!
The landscape of today's business world is diverse and constantly changing. Staying competitive in the global marketplace not only means diversifying your products and/or services, but also your most important asset – your people!
Successful companies in today's global market are learning to attract and retain the very best employees available in order to get ahead of their competition regardless of background or life experiences.
Here are just a few of the benefits of diversity and some great reasons why companies should take the time to foster a diverse workforce:
It's the socially responsible thing to do. Many of the people who benefit from companies creating diversity practices in the workplace are from groups who are often at risk of social exclusion. So by building policies that support and foster a diverse workforce we are actively helping these individuals by reducing some of the barriers they face in the workplace.
It gives you access to a larger pool of qualified candidates. Changing demographics in the workforce means that today's labour pool is very different from those of the past. Today's crops of highly skilled and available applicants are made up of a diverse range of people from a vast array of backgrounds and with varying life experiences.
It puts you in touch with your customers. Buying power today is represented by people of various races, ethnicities, ages, abilities, genders, etc. Smart companies ensure their workforce represents their client base.
It allows you to build a strong strategy. In order to succeed, companies must be on the ball; solving problems, quickly adapting to new situations and identifying new opportunities. Organizations need to rely on their employees' abilities to bring value and different perspectives to the table. And a diverse workforce will do just that – by bringing people together to work on projects from various backgrounds, you will give your company the competitive edge it needs to achieve business success.
Is your company a diversity champion? What are your best practices do you have in place? We'd love to know!

Patch Call
Patch Call
The Clinton, Connecticut, Police Department patch prominently displays the town's official seal, which includes an eagle, an anchor, two flintlock rifles, and a military drum. In the center of the seal, two small images highlight the industries that first supported the town's early population: a plow, symbolizing agriculture, and a fish, illustrating the fishing community. The year 1939 indicates the date when the Connecticut General Assembly passed legislation to establish the town's police department.
The patch of the Hoonah, Alaska, Police Department honors many natural wonders of the city and surrounding areas. Hoonah and nearby Chicagof Island have the highest per-capita grizzly bear population of any city in the world, hence the one in the center. Eagle and raven totem poles honor the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes. The snow-capped mountains capture the scenic landscape of Chicagof Island, and the water beneath them depicts the inland passage to the Pacific Ocean. The fishing boat at the bottom recognizes the importance of the local fishing industry.

I feel like ranting so let's talk about this scene and why it's the most terrible thing ever.
And no, I don't mean terrible as in sad or tragic, I mean terrible as in being the worst thing Usagi does in the entire manga.
Okay, let's just sum up what's going on here. Sailor Moon and all the inners are fighting Queen Metalia and Endymion. They've figured out that the Silver Crystal is controlled by Usagi's heart, and that they need to find a way for her to be able to draw out the missing part of it that was absorbed by Mamoru, and then use the complete Silver Crystal with the Holy Sword to defeat Metalia. Luna makes it very clear that all this can only be done by Usagi. Not only that, but Usagi's crying also shows to have some effect on Mamoru, throwing him into momentarily confusion, hinting that he might not beyond help after all. So what does the girl do? She stabs Mamoru and then herself. Boom, the Silver Crystal goes out of control and starts growing around her and Mamoru's fallen bodies, only to be absorbed by Metalia. Luna, FREAKING LUNA, has to protect the inners, something that almost drains all her strenght. And later the inners have no choice but to sacrifice their lives in order to send their power to Sailor Moon so that she'll reawaken again and can use the Silver Crystal.
I mean… wow, this is… scratch the part about this being the worst thing Usagi does in the manga, it's probably the worst thing she does in any version of the series. She acted completely selfishly, hoping that by killing Mamoru and herself they could both be reborn again and live happily together.
I never thought I'd ever get a scene in Sailor Moon that can be described like this, but… what we see here is Sailor Moon selfishly abandoning her friends in the middle of their biggest battle yet, even while knowing that they need her in order to save the world.
I see a lot of people praising Usagi in the manga for being much stronger and more mature than Usagi in the anime, but you know what? That crybaby Usagi in the anime witnessed Mamoru AND the inners die in front of her very eyes, and she still didn't give up and abandon them, but rather pushed through and held out until the very end. Don't give me that "she was so lost in despair!" crap, that is one horrible, horrible thing to do, and for someone like me who is much more used to the anime and the kind of person Usagi is there, this choice of hers feels as out of character as she could possibly get.
I agree that it was a bad plan, but I think what Naoko might have been trying to do is set her up for us. I'd like to think that Naoko isn't writing her own main character "out of character" and instead, was planning the story around her development.
Usagi is weak and controlled by strong emotions at the beginning of the story and this is really clear example of that weakness. We see her sacrifice others and herself here for her own self interest, but later she develops into the girl who is sacrificing herself for everyone (literally everyone, ever). It's more impressive to see where she's come from in terms of her own personal weaknesses when the whole story is taken in context. ^_^

My living room is also black , I added white to it and a small amount silver decor(small peices]. I love your curtains, however to make my living room come alive, I use different black and white prints, I made throw pillows all different prints and my drapes are with print of black and white, I painted wall pics with a black and white abstract of diff shapes as well. If you can't paint you can print and frame. also I painted little wall shelves for some old family pics that I printed out black and white. I painted some of the shelves black and then painted the frame mirrors one black and one white. Lamps I redecorated to fit my theme. To top it all off, I put two black area rugs on the carpet. I have one round long coffee table with glass top and two end tables that match the coffee table with glass tops. White scented candles gave it that home feeling. . The mirrors are large and that brings in more light through the french doors. Just a thought you may like to try. I live in an apartment , that gets no direct sunlight. Daylight but no sun. The mirrors are large and that brings in more light through the french doors. Im a full beliver in designing on a dime. So ask friends and family for items you may not have, also get that can of paint out, your gonna need it. giggling. Hope this helps.

Yes like those in picture, also geometric shapes as well. Poka Dots really work and circles as well. Fabric doesn't matter. and at least one black pillow and one white pillow to your liking. You can find these at thrift shops and or garage sales for little as nothing, Sorry that design on a dime thinking kicks in again. giggling.

hey !!! :D
i think the aim yahoo thing might work ! we should try!
YAY :) ! that face is soo funny! ><
do you have yahoo messenger ? or something along thoes lines?
Thank you! YOU ARE SO AWESOME AS WELL!!
We should be best friends on the internet!!
Loving someones soul not their gender/ orientation.
To me it doesnt really matter what others call me. At times i get flustered that they consider me a girl but i also get flustered that i want to be considered a boy. So why does gender matter? If we all had the mind set that we are who we are and everyone is unique then there wouldnt really be a need or gender, or even categories for that matter. But we all dont have this mind set. very few do. and my question is why? Can you . yes you . can you accept that you are you and the person next door to you is totaly and completely not you so it doesnt matter what they think of you. I can accept it .but can you ? If you cant . then why? why cant you accept that the person next door is different ? Why cant you accpet that they dont understand you gayness/striaghtness/ genderqueerness/ whatever you are ness.
Acceptance is a power so amazing. Self acceptance can cure .
Out of all the people in know there are not many like me. With feelings of male and female. Always in the middle. Wanting answers. Confused. Always confused. Most of the people i know are sure of their gender. Male or Female. Girl or Boy. There arent many were i live who are like me. androgynous. well not that i know of…
Well said !!
They preach love, acceptance, & non-judging but they are the worst. They hate. they say your going to hell. they say i cant be with you because your not christian. You dont know if im chirstian or not! You have no say in what i am or where im going. You are the one thats going to hell. Hypocrisy is a sin. lying is a sin. Im not the one thats afraid of everyone in the world.
Practice what you preach Dick
Im so sick of trying to fight it. I want to be a boy . I want to be a girl but in society there is no in between. I cant be both and I will never be accepted. I want to be me without hate without criticism. but they cant mind their own business and hate on themselves. So screw their hate. screw their criticism. I will accept myself and be happy with it.
Your welcome ! i love all your posts :) i only got halfway threw it ><
1 / Girls are fucking crazy. Not all of them. But most of them.
2 / Distance is nothing. Literally nothing.
3 / Feelings go away, they really do. You may love someone and think the sun shines where ever they step foot. You may walk away from them, or be pushed away. And when you finally get a chance back in, you may come back and have lost those feelings and have realized that the sun shines where ever it isn't blocked. But if you still see the light? And if you still have those feelings? Don't let go. Ever.
4 / The girls who swear and have piercings can be just as sweet and affectionate as the religious clean cut natural ones.
5 / Seeing the person you like, like someone else, is the worst most gut-wrenching feeling on this planet.
6 / Not everyone who smokes weed pressures everyone else into it. And odds are, if you rant and rave about how stupid drugs will make you, you've probably never tried them.
7 / Sometimes mirrors don't accurately show what we look like.
8 / You aren't always in control, even when you think you are.
I agree with most of this.
Although, I don't necessarily think distance is nothing.

Have you ever wished you weren't what you are. I sometimes wish i didn't want to be a boy. I have no clue why. Sometimes i find secret guilt in my heart . I sometimes find myself wishing that i wasn't me. I want to dress like a boy. i want to act like a boy. but the rejection i would receive from my own flesh and blood would tear me apart. It hurts to have to hide even though it would be only for one more year. They already question and tease. " are you a lesbian ?" " are you into that gay shit" those words they say stab into my chest. Sometimes i want to say kinda but its different.
Apart of me wouldn't be accepted .

Have you every felt so alone. It doesnt matter the location . Its this sadness in your heart. That screams need . That screams i need to be held . that screams for a someone. its a stupid and pathetic desire. am i the only one who feels the need?
Acceptance is an awkward subject to me. In my life there has been a need to be accepted by my family. When i was younger in school I also wanted to be accepted in a group. In any group. But now I feel no need to be accepted by my peers. Nor do i want to be accepted by them. But i still feel that need to be accepted by my family. Mainly my parents. Having gender identity issues doesn't help ! Acceptance is a very fragile subject because with acceptance comes love/ some type of care. If i am not accepted i feel like they don't care. And everyone wants to be cared for. Since my parents don't know that i'm androgynous/ gender-queer (whatever you want to call it) i feel like they have a fake image of me and they dont love ME they love the person who hasnt told them. its a very complicated matter.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
September marks the observance of National Preparedness Month and the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) is leading a statewide campaign with a diverse group of national, state and local partners to highlight the importance of emergency preparedness and to promote community involvement.
National Preparedness Month 2009 is focusing on changing perceptions about emergency preparedness to help Ohioans understand what it truly means to be Ready. Each week during National Preparedness Month, ODPS will be sending a press release or providing information on different areas of preparedness most likely to impact Ohioans.
In 2008, according to the State Fire Marshal's Office, Ohio had more than 48,000 fires and 150 deaths as a result of fires, many of which could have been prevented. It is important to learn about fires and how your family will respond to a fire in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Before she became the pastor at Faith Lutheran Church in South Toledo, Cindy Getzinger worked as a paralegal for 25 years.
"Different events happened, and the attorney I was with retired," Getzinger recalled. "God was calling me into the ministry and I pursued it. It took me five years to do seminary. Usually it's four. I started out at Winebrenner Seminary in Findlay. I did the slow-boat road."
Eighteen years ago, Cindy Hansen was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease that involves ongoing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
"That was truly the reason I was able to go back to school," Hansen said. "I had lost my job because of my illness. I went back to the University of Toledo and got my degree in social work, and I entered the seminary the following summer, in 2004."
Calling it a "trifecta of injustice," Trent Dougherty, attorney for the Ohio Environmental Council, said the OEC plans to appeal a decision by the 11th District Court of Appeals that said property owners along Ohio's portion of Lake Erie own the land above the water's edge and the land beneath the water is open to the public.
The ruling in August largely upholds a decision by the Lake County Common Pleas Court in 2007 that established a moving boundary.
Dougherty, who is also Legal Director of the OEC Environmental Law Center, said a point of law beside the public access issue is at stake in the case.
He said the appeals court's ruling, in effect, deprives the office of attorney general of legal standing in the case.
The Northwest Ohio Carpenter's Union has lent a hand for a charity project in
Stony Ridge.
Apprentices helped with a house that has been taken on as a rehab project by the community and nearby churches. The union is based in Rossford.
The "Stony Ridge Community Rehab Project" was developed to help a woman in the village who needed major renovations done for her home. The home belongs to Natalie St. Arnaud, a shut-in member of St. John's Lutheran Church and lifelong resident of Stony Ridge.
Joining in the forces are church members from St. John's Lutheran Church in Stony Ridge, Stony Ridge Methodist Church and Zion Lutheran Church in Latcha.
St. John's Lutheran Church and members of the community formed a steering committee that met with the St. Arnaud's family, toured the house, assessed the needs and came up with the projected amount of money needed for the project, said Nancy Gerwin, a volunteer overseeing the project. Gerwin called the union coordinator, Mike Ball, to offer the opportunity for carpentry apprentices to get involved.
The Lake Township trustees may ask the Ohio Department of Transportation to reconsider its proposal to lower the speed limit on State Route 51 to 50 MPH and instead lower the limit to 45 MPH, a trustee said last week.
At the request of the trustees, ODOT recently conducted a speed study of the stretch of Rt. 51 in the township and came up with several proposals for enhancing safety, including establishing a no-passing zone between Cason Street and Millbury Road and lowering the speed limit to 50 MPH from Pemberville Road east to the township limits at Fostoria Road.
The current speed limit is 55 MPH.
Trustee Richard Welling said he and the other trustees will be monitoring the frequency of accidents on Route 51 and make an additional request to lower the speed limit if there isn't a decline.

Down At The Golden CoinHow would your life change if you met your Messiah at the Laundromat?
During the horrible economic downturn, former airline pilot, Annie Mullard, feels she's sunk to a new low when she's forced to go to a run-down Laundromat, The Golden Coin, after her washing machine breaks, but it's here she meets a Messiah. Twenty-something, blue-haired Violet isn't anyone's idea of a Messiah and even though she can levitate Tide with Bleach Alternative, read minds and send Annie into past lives, Annie's still not entirely convinced. But when Violet deposits thousands of dollars into Annie's bank account, Annie doesn't care who she is; she's thrilled. At least her money troubles are over.
It doesn't take long before Violet has Annie's quiet morning at the Laundromat spinning as out of control as the rest of her life, forcing her to question everything she's ever held important and in turn, Annie becomes more desperate for change. As they spar over the idea we each have the power to create our own realities, Annie begins to see money is not the key to happiness she'd thought it was.
Wish Club
An average women's book club takes a turn for the supernatural!
At first their book club was like any other: Five women talking, drinking wine and maybe even discussing the book they've read. But when Claudia, Lindsay, Gail, Mara, and Jill read a novel about witchcraft, they jokingly try one of the spells for fun, only to find it actually works. Maybe they have a gift! At first the women are a little freaked out - and they don't want to think of themselves as witches. A coven? No way. But what if, instead of casting spells, they just made wishes? Doesn't everyone have wishes?
For clumsy, self-doubting Claudia, her wish - besides fixing a bad case of writer's block - is to get pregnant. Lindsay, heiress to a drugstore fortune, yearns to lose weight and gain acceptance into Chicago society. Party-girl-turned-supermom Gail craves more time - for herself, and in the spotlight. Friendly, frumpy Mara wants money and a chance to be heard. Then there's Jill, the gorgeous, icy artist, who waits for pick-up lines at the hippest clubs just to reject them. Before her highly publicized exhibition opening, she wants some inspiration, and finding the perfect man wouldn't hurt either.
When their book club morphs into Wish Club, the ladies find their real gift is for conjuring trouble. With their well-intentioned wishes gone awry and their lives spinning out of control - in some cases dangerously - they need major help. As they search for someone to restore balance, to help them untangle the chilling, life-altering, and hilarious predicaments they find themselves in - each of the women begins to discover for herself the true enchantresses within, the one with the ability to make all of her wishes come true.
Wish Club was a finalist in the 2006 Pacific Northwest Writers Assocation literary contest.

Dexter-Russell, Inc. has been a leading manufacturer in the finest cutlery products since 1818. They are still the largest and oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States. They are the successor of the two oldest cutlery manufacturers in America.
Henry Harrington, a New England craftsman and inventor, started his company in Southbridge, MA in 1818. The Harrington Cutlery Co. made surgical equipment and shoe knives, as well as finely made firearms. In 1884, the company introduced the Dexter line of kitchen and table cutlery which swiftly gained prominence for its quality and dependability in America's homes and restaurants.
In 1834, another New Englander, John Russell, started the Green River Works on March 1, 1834. A wealthy industrialist, Russell made his fortune in the cotton industry and turned his efforts to manufacturing cutlery products. The factory was built along the banks of the Green River in Greenfield, MA. The company started by making handcrafted chisels and ax heads. As the company gained popularity they expanded to include knives.
On May 1st, 1933, the Harrington Cutlery Company and the John Russell Cutlery Company merged and formed the company Dexter and Russell. The cutlery products ranged from knives that "won the West" to other innovative cutlery products. In 2001, the company changed its name to Dexter-Russell, Inc.
Today Dexter-Russell still provides the finest quality cutlery products for a various uses in hotels, restaurants, and residential kitchens. The Connoisseur® series, like the DEXT50-10N, is a stain-free, high-carbon steel blades with stone-ground edges that are hand sharpened. The handles are crafted of laminated rosewood that are also stain-free.
The butcher steels, such as the DEXT112-12GE-PCP or the DEXT112-10GE-PCP, are great for any purpose ranging from high-carbon tool steel to space-age, aluminum-oxide ceramic and diamond impregnated. Every blade is heat-treated and hardened for a longer lifespan and effective sharpening. Handles are either made from hardwood or Grip-Tex or Sani-Safe® polypropylene handles.
The Sofgrip™ brand, like the DEXTSG104-PCP or the DEXTSG163-9SC-PCP, is the ultimate in non-slip professional cutlery. The first handle that molds to your hand and becomes its extension.

High Fuel Price Problem Solved!
Please read this: Candidate calls for a national independence initiative at rally
Here are some excerpts:
The presumed Democratic nominee said authorizing oil companies to drill for more domestic oil and gas in Alaska and off coastal shores will not solve the country's energy crisis.
So Obama says no drilling. Getting more oil won't solve the demand on oil. What kind of logic is that?
"We can either choose a new direction or we can keep on doing the same things we've been doing," he told the crowd of cheering supporters.
Right. So the plan on the table by Republicans is to drill now while other alternatives are also found. Obama seems to be an extremist saying things are all one way or another. How about a little creativity to solve problems? No?
While speaking about the need to conserve energy, Obama told supporters they need to have regular tuneups on their car and check their tire pressure in order to ensure they're not wasting energy.
Oh, here's the solution! He did it! Wow!
I like how on Rush, he went and got his car tuned up and tire pressure checked and the price of gas was the same before and after he had this done. Ok, that's not what Barack Hussein Obama said, but it illustrates the point that Obama thinks he has a plan but really doesn't have a practical plan. Yes, doing those things helps but not enough. It's not a real solution. Don't we want a real solution? All of his solutions to this problem are just that: not enough.
I don't get how by becoming President you need to solve every possible problem that could come up by yourself. Ok, like with my job – yes, I know a lot about website design and development but I don't know everything and that's fine. But if someone comes up with a question that I don't have the answer to, I'll tell them that I'll find out and I might, after prefacing that, say what I think the answer could be – still with the promise of finding out the real answer. That's ok to do, we do that all the time and I'm just talking something small (in the greater scope of running the world) like website design.
But if you've had time to think, research and come up with a plan for a particular problem (as any good Presidential candidate would definitely do), then you better have the right plan. You better have consulted with experts and others that know more about this than you do. After gathering information and seeking expert advice, you would then make a decision on what the plan should be, right?
So assuming a guy running for the office of President of the United States has done at least as much work to solve a problem as I, a lowly website developer, would do – then why is his solution to not drill and for us to check our tire pressure? THAT is my point here.
When you hire someone for a job, you check their resume and references, right? WE are the voters. The President works for US. WE are hiring the next President of the United States. We owe it to ourselves to look each candidate over well and see what their solutions are to the problems we have. Based on what they say (not just how they make us feel) is how we need to vote. If you think of the U.S. as a business and we are the shareholders (since we definitely are – our futures, our childrens' futures are at stake), then that is how we need to act. That's simple to understand.
And don't even get me started on the whole checking references thing with Obama – yikes. That alone would make anyone skip him and move on to the next candidate. As we're finding out more and more about Obama, the scarier he is. That's fine. Keep it up, big media!
There is NOTHING in the Obama energy plan to reduce gas prices or expand supply to help the economy. He has no plan for the problem at hand. This is a good test of a Presidential candidate and Obama is failing.
Ok, so we're 3% of the world's population and use 25% of the world's oil. What's wrong with that? Why is oil evil? Our culture is more advanced than some others and who is out there always helping other countries when there's a need? The U.S. We're not a bad country. We're not bad people. There is plenty of oil out there. I've heard lately about oil being found everywhere and even in soil (Canada is getting rich, by the way) – we just can't drill for it anymore so yeah, that's why we need so much. How much oil does it cost to get that oil to us since we can't drill?
This country runs on oil. That's not going to change tomorrow. How to products get to stores? Who makes those items? Who drives them there? Who needs them? Americans! This is OUR economy. We (Americans) run it – not the government. WE make things happen. Once you hinder the American people, the whole thing collapses.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Congress took a 5 week vacation instead of taking a vote on energy. Absolutely unacceptable! The Democratic Party is all talk. The American people need some relief and when there are plans on the table, the Democrats refuse to take action on them. They're not listening to people. What is "democratic" about that? Tell me.
Obama is SO going to lose. This will shock a lot of people. The Democratic Party is in disarray. Obama couldn't beat Hillary like he needed to, he make John Kerry look like he's stable on issues with all the flip-flopping he's doing. And the Democrats running away from solving the main issue with the country right now is not just shooting themselves in the foot, it's shooting themselves in the heart. People are getting sick of this.
I like how Rush explained oil today. I had this in my head but couldn't get it out. Let me try again now…
Buying oil isn't a transfer of wealth, it's an exchange of wealth if anything. It works just like buying food or anything else we need. I have a car that needs gas. I'm not addicted to buying gas – I don't rob people for gas money or steal things. I buy something that I need and exchange my money for it. It's much more worth it for me to buy gas than to push my car. Buying gas for the car gets me where I need to go and thus saves me time and is worth the expense – up to a point. I'm not sure at which point I'd completely have to stop buying gas personally but we're seeing how higher oil costs and pushing the cost of other items up, so in that regard, we're taking quite a hit already.
And we're not funding terrorists. We mainly buy gas from Canada and Mexico. Saudi Arabia is third. I'm not sure where Osama bin Laden appears on that list. Is he listed?
The bad part is when we know that doing more drilling will help with the price and then Congress and Environmentalists hold us back. If drilling is bad, then there should be no drilling, right? No drilling would cease the supply, prices would go up to over $100 per gallon and everything would grint to a halt. No food in the stores, etc. That is what Obama and the Democrats in Congress truly want. They should just keep it up because the American people are getting sick of it – like I said.
Oh, and I'll never buy or subscribe to Time Magazine anymore because of this idiotic article (and the pop-up ad I got from their site):
The Tire-Gauge Solution: No Joke
Michael Grunwald, you've completely sold out. We can clearly see who you work for here. Obama is right? What? Obama said checking tire pressure would completely offset high gas prices. Do the math a second… it'll save me 3% on gas prices if I have my tires properly inflated (which I do anyway, so this doesn't even pertain to me – nobody's bringing up that point… this logic assumes that the entire nation's tires are under inflated, which is not the case by a long shot since most people visit a Jiffy Lube or Valvoline Instant Oil Change place every 3-4 months where they check that for you).
So I get 33 MPG in my 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual transmission Acura RSX. My tires are properly inflated, but let's just say they're not properly inflated and I do get the full, whopping 3% gas mileage savings. So 3% of 33 MPG is 0.99%, so let's just say 1 more mile per gallon. With a 13 gallon tank, at 32 MPG, I'd get 416 miles. At 33 MPG, I'd get 429 miles. That's a gain of 13 miles, which is not bad but how much of a savings is that?
So a 13 mile gain on a car that gets 33 MPG is a 39% of 1 gallon of gas. Stay with me here. If gas is $3.80 per gallon, then that's a savings of $1.48 on a whole tank of gas or $0.11 per gallon. This brings the cost of gas down from $3.80 to $3.69 if I don't have my tires inflated – but I do, so I don't get this savings, actually.
Or actually, someone that does not have their tires inflated is overpaying for gas at $3.91 when the price for people with their tires inflated is $3.80. What?? Someone please explain how that's helping me.
This Obama plan and Time Magazine article are useless. If even a generous 25% of the people out there do not have their tires inflated correctly, that has virtually no effect on gas prices. It would mean that 25% of the people out there are not overpaying $0.11 per gallon. There's easily a $0.05 cent different in gas prices in any normal, medium sized city. This amount is negligible. Oil prices come from the speculators, not tire pressure gauges!
Rush mentions my point today about how most people aren't driving around with flat or underinflated tires.
Please do NOT over inflate your tires, people. That's dangerous. You could have a blowout or not get good traction. Obama's making it sound like the more you inflate your tires, the better gas mileage you get. That's not true and very dangerous. Another good reason to not listen to this guy, he's very dangerous.

Iman Shumpert said today if he's projected to be a second-round pick in the NBA draft he will likely return to Georgia Tech.
Most NBA mock drafts have Shumpert as a second-round pick at best. Though he's an avid social media participant, Shumpert said he doesn't put much stock in mock drafts on the internet. He was a second-team All-ACC player after averaging 17.3 points and 5.9 rebounds last season. A junior, he led Tech in almost every significant offensive category. He also made the conference's defensive team.
He reached his decision after spending spring break with his family in their hometown near Chicago. He said his father, mother, brothers, high school coach, teammates and former Tech coach Paul Hewitt helped him. However, he hasn't hired an agent, which means he can remove his name from the eligibility list.He said he's known for a while that he was going to make himself eligible, whether or not he had a good year.
The news of his decision broke yesterday when Shumpert tweeted it during the press conference to introduce new coach Brian Gregory. Shumpert said he only tweeted because he was receiving a lot of tweets and facebook messages asking him if was leaving school. His father submitted the form earlier in the day so he thought the news was already out. He said he doesn't regret sending the tweet because he didn't mean the timing as a shot at Gregory or the program.
Gregory will help Shumpert set up workouts for teams around his class schedule. Former teammate Gani Lawal, who put his name after his sophomore season only to return, advised Shumpert to stay in school and finish the semester. Remaining in good academic standing will also ensure that Tech isn't doubly penalized when the NCAA's next Academic Progress Rate comes out.
He said he's going to work to improve his long-range jump shot before auditioning for NBA teams. He hit 40.6 percent of his field goals, but 27.8 percent of his 3-pointers last season.
If he returns, Shumpert said he's excited about playing Gregory's up-tempo offense.The two met Monday and again today before Shumpert practiced his free-throw shooting.
"I think I would fit great," he said. "Coach was talking about guards making plays. I don't feel uncomfortable in any offense. As long as you trust the offense and guys around trust the offense guys will make plays."

Better get that degree son..NBA is not in your future..Overseas, perhaps.
March 29th, 2011
5:33 pm
Iman needs to speak with Javaris Crittenton before he makes his final decision…
March 29th, 2011
5:37 pm
DOUG! Teach me how to DOUGIE!
March 29th, 2011
5:46 pm
I think he will be back, and Royal will be here as well.
March 29th, 2011
5:48 pm
It seems as if Shumpert's coming back, given his 1st round or GT attitude. But it doesn't hurt to test the waters at all. Come on back to Tech and see if you can make yourself a 1st rounder next year. After last season, the Jackets need all hands on deck!
March 29th, 2011
5:49 pm
I think the best thing for him to do is forgo his senior season, if he doesn't see himself as the 'go-to-guy' for Tech. Personally, I think his style of play has limited the progression of players like Udofia, Rice and Oliver.
March 29th, 2011
5:53 pm
Jacket Man…lol i was thinking the same thing!
this has "javaris Crittenton 2″ written all over it
Stay in school…pretty please!
March 29th, 2011
5:56 pm
Travis Leslie > Iman Shumpert x 10!!!! Keep thinking otherwise!
March 29th, 2011
6:14 pm
@Jacket Fan
Shumpert didn't limit anyone's progression.
Once Oliver started hiting his shots, Iman got Tech's only triple-double ever in SEC play.
Oliver really impressed me with how he worked at other areas of his game until his shot came around. Unfortunately the flu and an injury prevented a different end to his and Tech's season.
The only addition by subtraction we need has already been made.
March 29th, 2011
6:20 pm
ACC instead of SEC.
I'm reading "Dodd's Luck" and how we got cheated out of the national championship in 1952 when we were 12-0 with a point differential of 325-59. Only Florida scored in double figures and we won the Sugar Bowl over Ole Miss 24-7.
Michigan State won both the AP and UPI NCs simply because there were more northern voters and no sense of fair play evidently.
Then the NCAA cheated us a second time by scaping the two platoon system Dodd was obviously the master of for the Nearderthal one platoon.
The coaches and ADs jealous of Dodd changed the rule and I think it stayed that way for about 8 years or so.
March 29th, 2011
6:34 pm
Whether he returns depends on who else declares, and how far he gets bumped down the totem pole by others. Declaring but no agent is the right move. Hope to see him back. Would love to see what some real coaching would do for his game.
@Jacket Fan — the only thing that held Udofia back is him not Iman.
March 29th, 2011
6:40 pm
Shumpert has a pretty high opinion of himself. Truth is, he ain't that good. He goes into the draft, he'll gethis feeling hurt. He stays and listens to a real coach, he might could raise his stock.
March 29th, 2011
6:42 pm
Someone needs to ask Shumpert how he is going to improve his game (and his financial oportunities) by not playing in 2011-12 after the NBA owners lock the players out for the season.
Lottery picks will be OK, but guys like Shumpert, who really need to work on some aspects of their game (such as, what position he is best suited to), will have problems.
March 29th, 2011
6:51 pm
We need you big boy! You can have a great year AND a better draft by staying, plus that degree will mean an awful lot in the future. NBA and a Tech diploma is pretty good stuff!
March 29th, 2011
7:01 pm
He played this exactly how he plays basketball- without a clue. How can he say he didn't mean it as a shot towards Gregory. To announce on the same day is an insult to Gregory. But, its always been all about Iman. Sometimes, I wonder if he knows he has teammates or if he thinks its 1 on 5. Tremendous talent. Shame its been wasted.
March 29th, 2011
7:02 pm
In my opinion Shumpert is not that good at absketball. he is an unbelievable athlete! But in the NBA all he will see is great athletes.
I believe Jacket Man is correct, Crittenton all over again.
March 29th, 2011
7:36 pm
Anybody notice in the spring football photo gallery the shot of Tevin Washington, a B-back and a tailback in I-formation?
March 29th, 2011
7:46 pm
Shumpert needs to learn to dribble first-he palms the ball all the time-oop
the NBA allows that!! Needs to come back- he will have Miller,Holsey and Royal as
big men in the lineup next year along with Rice instead of one big man and four
March 29th, 2011
7:47 pm
Unexpected GOOD advice from Gani Lawal.
March 29th, 2011
7:49 pm
Shumperts biggest selling point is that he is one of the best defenders in the country. He is a decent offensive player as well but would probably need to improve his shot some before being coveted at the next level.
March 29th, 2011
7:52 pm
He'll be back. He's 3rd round or lower.
March 29th, 2011
7:56 pm
Man, I can;t believe how many people who get on these sites are such piece's of ish for the way they talk about a guy they don;t even know. If you are Tech Fans…..please, we will be better off without you..so just pick another team.
Shump, you the man..you dowhatever you feel is in your best interests..I would love to see you come back..your a great player and you know we would have a great team next year if you came back..but hey, if you can get a first roundy, go for it man!!!!
March 29th, 2011
8:10 pm
If Shumpert improves his deep shot he is a first round pack. As it stands now, I think he falls to the second round. He is a great defender with good size and nice ball handling skills. All he needs is the right coach to help him put it all together. Stay in school Shump and your a sure first round pick next year.
March 29th, 2011
8:22 pm
What kind of person announces they're leaving when the new coach is hired?
And them hems and haws about it afterwards?
No one cares that he's going to the NBA to "get his". Right on. Get yours, especially if you're legit. Get paid. Come back and finish your degree later.
But the way he's handled this screams "immature", "not on the same page with anyone" , and/or knuckleheaded.
I think he needs to stay and grow up, it's just will him doing so be a detriment to the team? Team first should be expected from "Tech Men"
March 29th, 2011
8:46 pm
Shumpert will be a great pro eventually. The reason it looked like his game isn't as good as it should have been at times is because of coaching. He probably won't make it as a point guard but he's tall enough to play 2. With NBA lockout looming, he'll make a wise decision and come back. It never hurts to test his status. He has to have a tremendous workout to get drafted in 1st round. Right now, he's a mid to late 2nd rounder. It's not worth going this year.
March 29th, 2011
8:55 pm
It could be a great senior year for you. With your leadership and excellent defensive skills already a part of your game, improving on your offensive skills can be one of the main things that you could focus on leading up to and during your senior year. Plus the added year in school will get you on track for your diploma. I look forward to seeing you in white and gold this next year…
March 29th, 2011
9:01 pm
Shump, come on back man and work on your range and you will certainly be a guaranteed first round choice. I know you are getting good advice, but that wild card about the potential lockout is not to be ignored. It would be a great resume builder to be ACC POY. Whatever your decision, we wish you all the best. Go Jackets!!!
March 29th, 2011
9:27 pm
I doubt Shump is a 1st rounder. Its a shame, this kid was a top 10 recruit out of high school, but hasn't gotten a chance to get any better because he had no one coaching him. Hopefully BG can actually teach him something but from what a lot of people are saying his players don't get any better under him either. Like Chris Wright, who was the best recruit ever to go to Dayton and his numbers have been the same the last 3 seasons, a big disappointment…Lets hope Shump comes back and gets his diploma cause ultimately that will be the best thing for him.
March 29th, 2011
10:10 pm
i noticed that, delbert. come back, shump!
March 29th, 2011
11:50 pm
LOL at these comments. I think if Shumpert comes back and becomes a more consistant perimeter shooter he will be a top 20 pick possibly lottery. Come back Shumpert!!
March 30th, 2011
12:08 am
Some of you severely overrate Iman. He shot a pitiful 40% from the floor this year for cryin out loud! The only reason he averaged 17 PPG is because he shot 15 times a game. He was wildly inconsistent but I blame most of it on Hewitt.
Stay for your senior year, Iman. I wanna see what you can do with a real coach. You have all the tools to be a solid NBA player. You need one more year.
March 30th, 2011
1:24 am
Iman Shumpert is a solid player who needs to work on his shot. His game is "pro" in every other way. That being said, if he returns to Tech, he will be GT's leader. He'll be All-ACC. If GT improves significantly (which I think they will,) he'll get a lot of the credit and his stock will rise. Contrast that with being at the end-of-the-bench for some pro team. Yes, there is the money and $ is important. Not knowing his family's situation, I would never question his testing the waters. I will say that there really are some things more important than money as long as your family isn't starving. Those VCU kids will remember these past weeks for the rest of their lives. And, the money will come.
March 30th, 2011
6:33 am
I really think he's gonna come back…….
March 30th, 2011
6:55 am
Iman needs to come back. He will get his chance in the NBA.
March 30th, 2011
8:04 am
He is not NBA ready. He does have an NBA game but his long range shot needs to improve.
March 30th, 2011
8:13 am
I'm one of your biggest fans. You're not ready…not yet. Come back, get some good coaching. Work hard in class. You made a lot of good impressions on scouts last year. Keep it up and you will be a mid-first rounder next year.
March 30th, 2011
8:25 am
Iman is a very good player and there is a good chance he will benefit from a new coach and system. I personally would love to see it and wish him well either way. He gives it his all – I just think the offense was rudderless before. And for being Crittenton2 – no way – Crittenton was a cry baby and I don't see that in Iman.
March 30th, 2011
8:33 am
Byrddawg, I really hope you are right. With Iman back and adding Royal, I think we could be pretty good next year. I don't know much about our other signee. We could use some more bigs, we were undersized this year, still great athleticism.
March 30th, 2011
9:09 am
Shump, the NBA will always be there. You can only improve your stock by coming back and playing for the Jackets.
March 30th, 2011
9:30 am
I think Iman is making a good move. He needs to get a true evaluation from the NBA scouts. He needs to remember that their projection is probably be biased a few picks higher than actual.
I think he could really improve his game with another year. He made a great improvement last season and I'm sure he could get that much better with another. There's a big difference playing 30-35 games in a season vs 80-85.
March 30th, 2011
9:59 am
Why does everybody think Royal is good??? He scored 4 POINTS in his H.S. championship game!!! Do you really think he can contribute alot next year and Iman take the cash if its there, if not come back for another year!!! Remember James Forrest came back and got injured never played in the NBA!!!!
March 30th, 2011
11:19 am
I'm a big Ga. fan and I think Shumpert is a much better pro prospect
than Leslie.
March 30th, 2011
3:07 pm
Even with Iman, Tech was #11. New coach probably is good for a spot or two. You just know WF is gonna grab last again. NC, Duke, Fl State and MD are prolly going to all be good again so hopefully Tech fans will give the new guy a pass the first time around. Hope Iman stays and get some different coaching. (Tech would have been #13 in a 12 team league last year w/out Iman)
March 30th, 2011
4:35 pm
Earlier this week some so called Tech fans were doggin Ole Shumpert. Now we decide to play nice. Real fans stick by all Tech players past or present. If he jumps for the NBA don't turn on him or if he comes back showering him with praises. Support him whatever he does.
March 30th, 2011
4:52 pm
Every junior should get evaluated so he can make an intelligent decision, and if projected second round, know what to work on for his senior year.
March 30th, 2011
6:36 pm
I don't have much faith in Royal helping. He was really soft in the State tourneyl. Didn't score well, didn't defend the paint well…his team got beat because of that. Shumpert had better come back, Gregory's system fits him to a Tee.
March 31st, 2011
2:15 pm
HAHAHAHA tek has hundreds of regular student seniors unsure of whether they want to waste another year at tek also. This guy is smart and he needs to go pro ASAP
April 2nd, 2011
9:21 pm
Iman is a fine young man with NBA level defensive skills, but he needs another year at Tech to polish his offensive skills. If everyone sticks, I feel that it will be an exciting season next year, with GT finishing in the top eschelon of the ACC. I think that everyone will be suprised at the improvement of our big men. They will shoot & score.

I'm using an embedded tigase server for testing an embedded tigase client.
sometimes when the client closes it prints an ugly "Socket closed" exception.
This time, two minutes after the client closed, the server reported an infinite loop and hanged.
TLSIO.writeBuff() WARNING: Infinite loop detected in writeBuff(buff) TLS code, tlsWrapper.getStatus(): NEED_READ
I closed the process more than an hour later.
since I updated to the trunk it seems an error has been introduced. I'm not sure when it appeared since I didn't update for some time.
I had a look at the way the server is initializing and it appears the bootstrap is affected by component names. If the MessageRouter is initialized before the Configurator, then the configuration of the server is totaly wrong (my instance doesn't even start).
In my case, I used a custom UserRepository / AuthRepository, and all components appeared to use the default server config instead of my "--user-db" and "--auth-db" parameters.
it seems there are a few issues with the MUC components when the room are locked (not configured) :
I join an unexisting room, it will be created and send back a "201" status (configuration required).
1 ) A user trying to join this room should receive an error (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#enter-locked), the server is not sending anything. Some clients will end up hanging, because they expect an answer, be it an error or a confirmation.
2 ) I don't configure the room, and leave it or disconnect (send an unavailable presence), the room is not destroyed.
Hey !
I was playing with my XMPP client, and I noticed there is an error when a user is connected to the same room with multiple resources.
If a user connects to a room with different resources AND different nicknames, when one of this resources turns "unavailable", the presence is not broadcasted to other MUC users.
If the user connects to a room with different resources but is using a single nickname, the behavior is ok. Since the presence should only be broadcasted when the last resource becomes unavailable.

UNDEVELOPED SEASHORE AREAS IN OREGON (Southern Portion)
Sea Lion Caves-Oregon Dunes Area
LOCATION: The sand dunes extend for a distance of 23 miles south of Florence. The Sea Lion Caves area is 12 miles north of Florence.
ACCESSIBILITY: The Coast Highway (U.S. 101) passes through or is adjacent to the entire area.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: The area comprises 24 miles of shoreline with over 33,000 acres of upland. This includes three distinct types of land forms. Fronting the ocean is an attractive, clean, fine-textured, wide sandy beach. Second is a vast, desert-like expanse of moving sand that has been swept up from the shore by the wind and subsequently deposited and formed into attractive dunes. The third and easternmost type of land form is ancient, forest-covered dunes which reach a maximum height of 450 feet above the sea. Also included are three irregular, freshwater lakes which possess high scenic and recreation values. They vary greatly in size, ranging from 130-acre Cleawox Lake, the smallest, to Woahink Lake with slightly less than 800 acres, and Siltcoos Lake, which covers some 3,200 acres. Vegetative cover is comprised of a dense, picturesque coniferous forest with an understory of varied shrubs and a fine rhododendron display. The Sea Lion Caves site is a notable rookery for Steller sea lions, California sea lions, and bird life of outstanding interest.
PRESENT USE: Present use consists almost solely of recreation. The area includes one 522-acre State park, and there are several developed Forest Service campgrounds and picnic areas. A considerable number of homes and cottages exist around the lakes. The Sea Lion Caves section is managed on a private commercial basis.
ANALYSIS: The area is adjudged to be of national importance, not only for the manifold opportunities for seashore recreation but also for the inspirational worth of the resources to the American citizen. The many superlative values found here are of such high importance as to warrant permanent preservation for the nation as a whole.
Coos Bay Sandspit
LOCATION: Three miles west of North Bend.
ACCESSIBILITY: By vehicles capable of traveling over soft sand, or by boat.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: This area, which is the north spit of Coos Bay, extends from the Siuslaw National Forest boundary south to the end of the sandspit. It includes approximately eight miles of ocean frontage. The spit is composed mainly of stabilized or drifting sand. Approximately 80 percent is covered with grass, but only a very small portion supports trees and shrubs. The terrain is flat to gently rolling. The sandy beach along the ocean is very wide, and relatively little sea debris has been deposited above hightide. Razor clams thrive along the beaches on both the bay and ocean side of the sandspit. At the northern limit, and adjacent to the Siuslaw National Forest is a small marsh of approximately one square mile.
PRESENT USE: About 90 percent of the sandspit is public land withdrawn in 1898 for use by the War Department. The remainder is undeveloped private land.
ANALYSIS: This area possesses some fine seashore values, and should be retained in public ownership for recreation and conservation of its natural values. These values will become increasingly important as the nearby towns of North Bend, Coos Bay, Empire, Charleston, and Bayview increase in population.
Coquille Beach
LOCATION: Two miles north of Bandon.
ACCESSIBILITY: By automobile over hard surfaced and dirt spur roads from Bandon.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: The area extends from the southern extremity of the Coquille Sandspit north to Cut Creek. It includes approximately four miles of the seashore of which two miles are public lands. The immediate shoreline is a wide sandy beach with a gently sloping foreshore. Above high tide the beach is approximately 150 feet wide. A considerable amount of sea debris has been deposited upon it. North of the sandspit, second-growth pine and fir occur a distance of from one-half to three-quarters mile inland from the beach. The intervening area is composed of drifting sand and grass-covered dunes.
PRESENT USE: Present use of the area consists mainly of lumbering and ranching, with very limited development. At the southern end of the Coquille Sandspit is an abandoned Coast Guard lighthouse.
ANALYSIS: This area merits consideration as a possible reserve to meet future needs for seashore recreation. The public lands should be retained in public ownership to aid in the accomplishment of this goal when future recreation demands warrant it.
Langlois Beach
LOCATION: Four miles north of Cape Blanco and three miles south of Bandon.
ACCESSIBILITY: Portions of the area are accessible by automobile on spur roads from U.S. Highway 101. The shoreline is quite inaccessible.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: The area includes 12 miles of the Oregon Coast. Approximately six miles are in public ownership. The remainder is privately owned. The inland section varies from 1 to 2 miles in width. At the immediate shoreline, and extending along the entire 12 miles, is a wide sandy recreation beach, with a large amount of logs and driftwood above high tide. Within this area are extensive scenic sand dunes ranging in height from 5 to 40 feet. They intrude into a dense forest growth of spruce, alder, fir, and myrtle, occurring in association with pine which predominates the forest. Associated with the woodland are dense thickets of blackberry, salal, rhododendron, and madrone. Gorse is the most conspicuous plant form of the sandy, upper beach area. Many bogs and marshes exist in slight depressions on this relatively flat and low terrain. Also within the area are several scenic but shallow lakes. Some of these are known to possess good salmon and steelhead trout fishing.
PRESENT USE: Portions of the area are lightly-used public lands, while the remainder is privately owned. With the exception of a few small residences, the latter portion is used for ranching.
ANALYSIS: This is a potentially valuable public use area, and should be considered for acquisition as a seashore reserve. The public lands should be retained in public ownership until this can be accomplished.
Sisters Rocks Area
LOCATION: Twelve miles south of Port Orford.
ACCESSIBILITY: Directly off U.S. Highway 101.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: Three and three-fourths miles of bold and rugged, scenic shoreline are composed of many offshore rocks, precipitous coastal bluffs, vistas, wooded hills and valleys with occasional small sandy beaches. Fire, logging and road cuts have taken their toll of the natural scene, although enough yet remains to give the area individual character. Included are two prominent points on the shoreline; Sisters Rocks, approximately 395 feet in height, and Lookout Rock, 568 feet.
PRESENT USE: One small commercial development featuring unusual exhibits including objects of natural history is within the area. All of the remaining land is undeveloped. Portions of the tidelands are privately owned.
ANALYSIS: This interesting and scenic portion of the Oregon Coast merits consideration for acquisition for public seashore recreation purposes and for conservation of its remaining natural values.
Hubbard Mound-Otter Point Area
LOCATION: Three miles north of Gold Beach and 28 miles south of Port Orford.
ACCESSIBILITY: U. S. Highway 101 is adjacent to the area.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: The Hubbard Mound-Otter Point Area possesses many unusually high scenic qualities. The immediate shoreline has numerous exposed offshore rocks and a narrow but attractive sandy beach at low tide. Above the high tide line is a coastal bluff 50-75 feet high. Further inland, the terrain becomes gently rolling with intermittent flat areas. The area supports a dense growth of hemlock, fir, spruce and pine which extends close to the shoreline. Salal predominates the understory. Both Otter Point and Hubbard Mound serve as excellent seashore vista points.
PRESENT USE: Existing developments are limited to two private residences, and one four-acre State monument. A portion of the tidelands is in private holdings.
ANALYSIS: The area is easily accessible and is adaptable for public recreation use. It possesses many excellent features necessary for this purpose. It is important that It be considered for meeting the needs of the public for areas of this type. The State of Oregon is endeavoring to acquire a portion of the area as a park site.
Myers Creek Beach
LOCATION: Seven miles south of Gold Beach and immediately south of Cape Sebastian.
ACCESSIBILITY: U. S. Highway 101 traverses the Myers Creek Canyon near the shoreline.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: The area includes a mile-long section of the Oregon Coast, in conjunction with a scenic, narrow, precipitous and heavily wooded canyon in which Myers Creek meanders to the ocean. This portion of the shoreline has a very gently sloping foreshore, and an unusually wide, attractive sandy beach is available for various seashore activities at low tide. Many rocks of various sizes and shapes are found offshore. Some are accessible by sandbars at low tide.
PRESENT USE: The area is totally undeveloped, but there has been considerable logging in the upper portion of the canyon.
ANALYSIS: Because of the fine beach, interesting offshore rocks, and the undeveloped wooded canyon, the area should be considered for public recreation purposes and for conservation of the natural scene.
Crooks Point
LOCATION: Fourteen miles south of Gold Beach, and 27 miles north of the Oregon-California state line.
ACCESSIBILITY: The area is adjacent to U. S. Highway 101, although no roads give Immediate access to the shoreline.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA: This is a four-mile stretch of the Pacific shoreline, possessing a variety of interesting features. From Crooks Point north to Pistol Creek lies an area of large sand dunes adjacent to a wide attractive sandy beach, portions of which are in public domain. Crooks Point itself is a seashore vista for viewing the coast 5 miles north to Cape Sebastian and 10 miles south to Cape Ferrelo. It also overlooks an unusually scenic cluster of protruding rocks immediately offshore. South of Crooks Point to the existing Samuel H. Boardman Wayside State Park, the terrain is relatively gentle in character and supports a dense forest of fir, hemlock, pine, and lesser vegetative ground covers.
PRESENT USE: The sand area is undeveloped except for a few private residences adjacent to the highway. The wooded portion is being used for ranching in addition to the growing and harvesting of timber.
ANALYSIS: The area offers an excellent opportunity to protect unusual scenic qualities and recreation potentialities if acquired for public purposes. Observations indicate that it would be most desirable to acquire certain relatively undisturbed forest-covered slopes and canyons which are inland and adjacent to the existing State Park for preservation of the remaining natural values.
