HOLLAND, MI (WHTC News) - Holland's Signature Event will have an operational leader at the helm this spring.
Officials of the Tulip Time Festival announced yesterday that Gwen Auwerda will begin her duties as the new Executive Director of the event on Monday. The 51-year-old Hope College graduate has more than two decades of experience in human resources at JCI and, for the past three years, at parts maker AEES' facility in Mattawan. She has also been involved in a number of local civic organizations, including the Lakeshore Athena Award Program, where she is currently chairing that effort, as well as the Holland Area Chamber of Commerce and the Leadership Holland program.
Auwerda emerged from over 180 candidates who applied for the position when Tamra Bouman was sacked by the festival board in June following eight years at the helm. The board conducted a nationwide search while Sara VanderZee handled operational leadership duties in preparing for this year's event, which begins on May 7th.

North Judson, Ind. A North Judson man has been formally charged after a standoff earlier this week.
It started around 5:30 Wednesday night at a home in the 400 block of SR10, also known as Talmer Avenue.
Warren Chapman, 48, barricaded himself inside his home with a gun.
Police say Chapman fired three shots into his living room floor, while his brother in law was inside the home.
He got out before the police arrived.
According to our reporting partners at WKVI, Chapman has been charged with criminal recklessness and resisting law enforcement, both felonies.
He is in the Starke County Jail on $50,000 bond.

The South Australian Cricket Association has this week provided a series of grants to a total of 66 community cricket clubs and associations across the State.
Grants of up to $5,000 have been confirmed, boosting both regional and metropolitan cricket networks. New centre wickets, artificial turf surfaces, and the upgrading of major training and practice facilities were the focus of this round of funding, with the number of applications increasing substantially this season.
The funding is part of SACA's Club Facilities Grant program, which is being made available following the $535 million redevelopment of Adelaide Oval. Some clubs have also sought funding through the State Government's Office for Recreation and Sport, and are working with their Association or Local Council on larger projects to improve facilities.
The South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) are partnering with the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in a project aimed at developing a Strategic Facilities Plan for community cricket and football in South Australia.
The SA Community Football League (SACFL) has secured state government funding to conduct the project and the SACA has been invited to be part of the strategy, given the close connection between the sports and the use of predominantly the same facilities around the state. One Eighty Sport & Leisure Solutions (180 SLS) were engaged to conduct the project.
One of the key issues confronting both football and cricket administrators is ensuring their facilities meet the required standards to enable safe and enjoyable competition to occur regardless of the age, ability level or experience of those participating. Quality facilities are essential for community clubs to be a viable and strong part of their local community. Both sports need to develop a coordinated and cohesive approach to future facility development in order that the sports continue to prosper and provide high quality playing environments.
The project has commenced under the guidance of a reference group including representatives from the Community Football League, SACA and 180SLS and it is anticipated the project will be completed in mid-2014. To gather the relevant data for this project it will require an extensive consultation process with the key stakeholders responsible for administering and conducting football and cricket.
The survey links below have been designed to capture an extensive database of cricket facilities across the state whilst at the same time identifying some key issues facing cricket administrators.
Your responses to these surveys will be used to guide the SACA's Club Facility Grant Program, and to plan the development and upgrade of shared cricket facilities in the future.
This survey is being distributed to every metropolitan and regional cricket association and club and provides a great opportunity for SACA to gather relevant data on cricket facilities from across the state.

ASSOCIATIONS: To access the survey, click or follow the attached link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VMPR73V
Once you have completed all the questions please click DONE and your responses will be saved and your contribution acknowledged.
On behalf of the SACA, we thank you for taking part in the survey and your contribution to the consultation process is greatly appreciated.

Kuhn/Kamm moved to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 2-0.

Susan Judkins Josten, MSA Professional Services, Inc, Kurt Hoeft, Mary Beth Zelle, and Rick Juchems, Cedar Valley RC&D representatives, presented a proposal for Watershed Management Authority Consultant services for the Upper Cedar River Watershed Management Improvement Authority creation. MSA and CVRC&D proposed to work jointly for the consultation efforts. Joe Myhre, NIACOG Executive Director, presented a proposal for the same with a joint proposal between NIACOG and INRCOG, including expertise with creating 28E agreements, work with CDBG projects, and a relationship with all entities in the defined authority area. Both proposals for the creation of the authority came in at $21,500. Kuhn/Kamm moved to accept the proposal from MSA/Cedar Valley RC&D for $21,500. Motion carried 2-0.

Single-page websites (Single Page Website Design) are one of major trends in the modern website design. A single-page layout minimizes navigation and design elements to retain focus of visitors to content of the website. Besides, it significantly improves efficiency of the website and allows you to bring your core content to the center stage. Developing a single-page website design has become quite easy especially since scripting techniques like AJAX and jQuery have become stable, mature and widely applied.

No arrests have been made, police said
By Amanda Anderson
Staff writer
COCOA -- As dozens of local vendors try to pick up the pieces of their one-of-a-kind possessions, investigators are still trying to determine the exact cause of a fire last week that brought a Brevard County staple to ashes.
In the wee hours of the morning on June 11, crews from throughout Brevard County were already battling a three-alarm commercial structure fire.
Around 2:30 a.m., Brevard County Fire Rescue dispatchers received a 911 call from a witness, who saw flames devouring the Space Coast Flea Market in Cocoa.
Multiple crews arrived at the scene minutes after the call to battle the massive structure fire.
In a release from Brevard County Fire Rescue, crews used a "defensive strategy" to combat the blaze because of the intensity of the flames.
Lt. Don Slayman, public information officer for Brevard County Fire Rescue explained what a three-alarm fire is.
"When a fire is reported, we send a first-alarm response," he said. "BCFR typically sends four fire engines, two ladder trucks, two district chiefs and two rescues for a first-alarm assignment. With each additional alarm, we send an additional four engines, two ladder trucks, one rescue and one district chief. A three-alarm fire means two additional alarms were requested, beyond the first-alarm. This is done on large incidents, when additional personnel or apparatus are needed."
According to the release, the two additional alarms were needed because of the "intense heat and potential for further fire spread."
Crews from BCFR, the Cocoa Fire Department, Rockledge Fire Department, Merritt Island Volunteer Fire Department and Titusville Fire Department were dispatched to the scene; roughly 70 firefighters battled the blaze.
The historic Space Coast Flea Market, which was operational prior to the fire, is now destroyed, with an estimated $200,000 in damages, officials said.
"There were lots of goods in the building at the time of the fire," Lt. Slayman said. "The building had many items sold by vendors. An example of some of the items included jewelry, clothes, computers and books."
While many of the flea market's vendors are left sorting through the ashes, with thousands of dollars in merchandise lost, the investigation is still ongoing.
"The state fire marshal's office has determined the fire to be arson," Lt. Slayman said.
As of press time, there were no arrests made in connection with the incident.
If you have information about the fire, call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS (8477).

I've tested the new (pre-)version 1.1 with SS 2.4.0 and SS 4.4.5 - seems, there are no real errors at the moment.
There's one issue with the dataObjectManager and the first receipt field in the configuration. Nothing too heavy.
So the release will be today or tomorrow ;)
DataObjectManager -> Ok, I should always use the latest version ;)
Release done ;)
Have fun with the latest version. Also keep in mind that there's a bugtracker: http://bug.aschmann.org

Good morning all
I was just wondering if there are any more needs for additional features for the guestbook module.
Since the current module works fine for me, there might be a lot of things missing for people having it in daily use.
Because of this, I'd like to open discussion on features and changes that, in your opinion, should be added to the module.
Please feel free to post your wishes
Kind regards,

He Marc,
Just installed the new version of the guestbook.. after some hiccups it now works. (there's a little mistake in the _config file, on line 14 there missing some //, plus i didn't have the spam protection module installed)
The spam protection with http:// block works very well, and it's nice to have emoticons to use now.
Some little questions still,
1) Can i add emoticons myself (just adding the img-file and add the code in the list, haven't tested it yet)
2) The Emoticons map "link" doesn't work in firefox (it works @ your site, what can be wrong)
3) I still don't have the color difference in -IE8 and that is really a pain in the ass..
Still very nice work,
Re: Simple Guestbook module
6 September 2011 at 7:34pm Last edited: 7 September 2011 2:03am
Hi Gijs,
right - the config still has PHPCaptcha enabled.
You can add Smilies just by adding the codes:
'' => '<smilie_name>',
Then use the smilie name as image name:
And place it into the image folder where the other smilies are.
I'm not sure what could go wrong with the link on your site. I've built it like this:
<a href="{$Link}doAction?do=showSmilies" title="<% _t('Guestbook.ss.SHOWSMILIESCODE', 'emoticon map') %>" class="popForm">
<% _t('Guestbook.ss.SHOWSMILIESCODE', 'emoticon map') %>
This is also really basic: I'd have to add a clickable link for the map to place the appropriate code into the text, maybe.
Did you flush your browser-cache and also the complete SS Cache (?flush=all)?
@ colors: It is quite difficult to debug this, since the styles are correct and I couldn't find a simple solution, yet. And I don't like CSS-Hacks ;-)
The CSS Problem in IE <9 is caused by a change in the templates. I used a HTML5

 element instead of a div container as wrapper for the guestbook. IE does not understand this and therefore kills all styles with #guestbook ID.
Did I mention that I hate IE?
Since all other browsers handle such elements just as normal HTML elements and therefore accept styling *sigh*
I'll switch back to a simple div. Since blocklevel elements aren't allowed within spans. The whole #guestbook is just a wrapper for my styles, to keep the CSS overall clean. This is just ridiculous to need an additional div there -.-
Did I also mention that I don't like tons of elements when all you need is just one?
By the way I also removed the div around comments - now the list has the class and the headline is a <lh></lh>. Semantically more correct than my previous attempt. Still I think there's too much overhead.
Will be available as preview version, soon - http://ssmaint.aschmann.org is my development playground ;-)
I also added a small piece of code with conditional comments to the main template (guestbook.ss) where IE6 to IE8 are identified and set classes for the #guestbook container.
This helps dealing with those browsers in CSS without hacks. I strongly suggest for everybody to base new templates on html5boilerplate know-how
For better visibility, I added borders fir IE < 9 and for >9 and the others there's some eyecandy included.
Re: Simple Guestbook module
7 September 2011 at 6:34pm
He Marc.
Another question. My website where I use the guestbook is on a subdomain of my real domain (but the website has it's own internet adres www...nl). When I want to keep that adres in the adres bar (frame forwarding) the guestbook doesn't work, it shows but I can't post a message, I get this error:
"SecurityID doesn't match, possible CSRF attack."
Any idea where this comes from.
Re: Simple Guestbook module
7 September 2011 at 7:22pm
Hi Gijs,
this is an internal Silverstripe security mechanism. Nothing to do about this, I fear.
btw. it's not really good to do things like loading pages in frames. Why not link the guestbook's subdomain and open in a new window?
Kind regards,

The C. Milton Wright Mustangs picked up an important win on Monday night, beating the visiting Fallston Cougars 2-0 with the help of a two-goal performance from junior Megan Frailer.
With the victory, the Mustangs improved to 9-1 overall, and 5-0 in Chesapeake (upper) Division play, while the Cougars fell to 6-3-1 on the season, and 3-2-1 in Chesapeake play.
CMW has one upper-division contest left, that being a Thursday matchup with the Bel Air Bobcats (8-1-1 overall, 4-0-1 Chesapeake). The winner of the game will take the Chesapeake crown, and move on to play in next Tuesday's conference title game against Susquehanna (lower) Division champ Rising Sun. That game will be played at 5 p.m. on Bel Air's home field.
The first half of Monday's matchup was largely a midfield battle, with neither side seeing a good scoring opportunity materialize, and at the halftime whistle the two teams were still knotted 0-0.
It would not take the Mustangs long to score the winning goal in the second half, however, as they needed just 20 seconds to find the Fallston net. Directly after the opening kick, Frailer took a pass near the top of the box from teammate Sarah Piazza, touched the ball once toward the end line, then fired a left-footed shot that curled into the bottom right side of the Cougars goal.
With 13 minutes remaining, Frailer put the nail in Fallston's coffin, scoring on shot to the low, left-hand corner of the opposing goal after taking another pass from Piazza, who collected the ball after a CMW shot ricocheted off the cross bar and back into the penalty box.
Bobcats top Eagles
The Bel Air girls topped the Aberdeen Eagles at home on Monday night, 3-1.
Aberdeen led the game 1-0 at halftime.
Sarah McKinney scored twice to lead the Bobcats, while Brooke Lorber had one goal in the victory.
Teresa Berg and Shannon Williams each dished out one assist for Bel Air.
Aberdeen's lone tally came from Morgan Tildon off an assist by Jasmyn McLeod.
Emily Rosenberger had 5 saves in goal for the Bobcats, while Chelsea Thomas racked up 16 saves tending to the Aberdeen net.
Pats over Eastern Tech
The John Carroll girls, playing at Cedar Lane Park on Friday night, topped the visiting Eastern Tech squad 3-0, with Nicole Wojcik scoring all three of her team's goals.
At halftime, the Patriots led 1-0.
Gina Maiorana had three saves in goal for John Carroll.
Hawks drop Garrison Forest
Playing at home on Monday, the North Harford Hawks dealt the visiting Garrison Forest squad a 2-1 loss.
Scoring first for the Hawks was Alicia Greene, who headed a ball into the guests' net off a cross from teammate Madison Ferrara.

This is an idea I had tried on red lentils a while back: Make patties or balls of red lentils and bulgur similar to a falafel and stuff them with cheese; then I saw that Beth had done a similar job with some pumpkin kibbeh (she stuffed them with a feta mixture); these kibbeh are usually stuffed with chickpeas, onions and greens.
It is more fun to eat when they are hot and the cheese is oozing out!
- 1 pound of kabocha squash (any squash will do, just make sure it is thoroughly drained)
- 4 ounces of extra-fine bulgur #1, soaked in water for 5 minutes and drained thoroughly (squeeze out the water)
- small white onions, sprinkled with salt and sumac
- 1/4 cup of minced herbs (parsley, other)
- Spices: 1/2 tsp. white pepper, 1/2 tsp. allspice, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. hot Aleppo pepper
- 1/2 cup of fine semolina flour
- 1/4 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces of goat cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup of walnuts
- 1/4 cup of whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon of mashed garlic (with salt in a mortar)
- Spices: 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of seven-spice, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme or wild zaatar, 1/2 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper
- 1/4 cup of minced parsley
- 1/4 cup of minced dill (or other herb)
- Lemons, quartered
- Oil, to fry the kibbeh in
To make it easier: shape the cheese mixture into teaspoon-sized balls and freeze for 15 minutes before starting.
- Make the kibbeh shell and refrigerate: place the drained squash, chopped onion, herbs and spices, bulgur, flour and semolina in the bowl of a food processor. Process into a homogenous paste. Transfer to a bowl and into the fridge, covered.
- Make the cheese filling by combining all the ingredients. Shape into little teaspoon-sized balls and place on a piece of foil into the freezer for 15 minutes to make using them easier.
- Take balls of dough (can use a cookie dough scooper) and fill with the cheese. Place in the fridge until ready to fry.
- Heat several cups of oil to 375F and fry the balls of kibbeh, a few at a time. Serve warm with extra lemons.

First, some notes from Tech's 86-81 win over Clemson in the ACC tournament:
It was the third time in four years that the No. 12 seed beat No. 5.
Lewis Clinch's 32 points were the third-most by a Yellow Jacket in an ACC tournament game, behind Will Bynum's 35 in 2005 and Mark Price's 33 in 1983. Clinch had scored a total of 14 points in his three previous ACC tourney games.
Gani Lawal's 7 offensive rebounds were one short of Malcolm Mackey's Tech record, set in 1991.
Clemson is 7-8 since its 16-0 start.
Tech had 18 assists against 17 turnovers, one of the few times this season the Jackets posted more assists than turnovers.
Clinch, Iman Shumpert and Gani Lawal played 35, 33 and 32 minutes respectively. We'll see how fresh they are against FSU. Clinch rolled his right ankle when he came down on Tanner Smith's foot. He called it a "light roll" and said it didn't hamper him after he got it taped up.
Lawal, who was unstoppable after a bad start, said the Jackets won because they got loose balls and came up with tough rebounds down the stretch.
"In many games this year…other teams made defining plays. If it was a 50-50 ball, they'd come up with it," he said. "Every time Clemson came with a punch we came with a punch of our own. We really kept our intensity up and withstood their runs to make the big plays."
Lawal (20 points, 14 rebounds) reiterated that the tournament is a "whole new season. Two and 14? We're going to try to forget about that and have four one-game seasons in the ACC tournament."
Looking ahead to Florida State, Lawal said the gameplan is simple: contain Toney Douglas.
"I feel he should have been player of the year," Lawal said. "Contain Toney Douglas and attack their length and athleticism and have a real aggressive mindset."
In the only regular-season meeting, FSU won 62-58 in Tallahassee as Douglas scored 10 of his game-high 21 in the final 5:09. The Jackets shot 34.4 percent for the game, with 18 turnovers. Lawal shot 5-for-16, Clinch shot 2-for-11, and Shumpert and Lance Storrs each went 1-for-6. Tech was 2-for-15 from beyond the arc.
Lawal recalled that a bunch of "dumb turnovers and ill-advised shots" cost Tech.
"We very well should have won that game — that's another one" that got away, he said.
But now Clinch is hot, and the rest of the team is getting better looks because opponents are concentrating on him. Plus, Tech should have a homecourt advantage.
So what's your prediction for Tech-FSU?

Hey all you losers that post here…..Paul Hewitt is a great coach and recruiter. Jackets win!!! I predicted a 10 point Tech win, sorry I was wrong. Can't wait for next year. Tech basketball is in good hands!!!
Rock on……..

Why do you want all of us Dawg fans to post here?? We have our own page to post on.

Tech wins. Mutts lose. Good day.
Is there any chance that Favors plays? I'd hate for him to lose his redshirt, but we may need him. He'll be in the NBA in four years (maybe three). Mark it down!!
March 12th, 2009
9:20 pm
My prediction? Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!
March 12th, 2009
9:50 pm
Yes, Dadgum, we won today. Let's give Hewitt a big raise and add 3 more years to his rollover contract.
I'm happy for Hewitt and the team. I hope they can keep it going.
Atlanta Jackets, your schtick is already getting old.
March 12th, 2009
11:02 pm
Hewitt never ceases to amaze! He's got his guys playing great just at the right time as always. After we win the ACC tourney, expect us to make a run as a 14th seed in the big dance. Elite 8 or maybe even Final Four. Man this team is hot! With Favors coming next year and Hewitt as coach…preseason #1 without a doubt……somebody wake me when football season starts.

Hey man, Check out this realization – You are a Dawg fan posting on a Tech board at 7:23AM! Are you kidding me? Obsess much loser? 45-42 was months ago…we've moved on…why haven't you? Time to try to talk to your fellow fans instead of us now ok lil' fella? There's no need to talk trash when you're the losing team. This is a basketball blog by the way…another sport you lost to your rival in this year 67-62. Go ahead and throw another gay or nerd joke this way…only shows how sad and desperate you really are….We get it dude…you like UGA….now move along with the rest of the herd….you're getting in the way of the ACC tournament….you know the ACC right? where REAL basketball teams play.

Atlanta Jacket: Favors will be in the NBA in one year. Thats the problem. How can any of us get excited about this guy coming to Tech ?
He's at Tech because other coaches did not want a one year player. The best way to recuit (unless you're Roy Williams) is to get a bunch of 4A players who will stay instead of a group of 5 A players that won't.
March 13th, 2009
10:07 am
U-G-A…U-G-A! WE BEAT LSU and LSU beat TECH so therefore we BEAT TECH! HAHAHA…losers! Matthew Stafford threw for 400 yards against y'all. What do you gotta say about that? Joe Cox will make you beg for mercy.
March 13th, 2009
10:22 am
Tech wrecked, you are an idiot and the reason that Tech fans constantly insult our intelligence as Georgia fans….. dont bring up football in basketball season, its irrelevant…. also, Atlanta Jackets you are an idiot too if you think favors will be here for years (or even three years)….. he will do the same thing that thaddeus young, javaris crittenton, and chris bosh all did….. he will leave after one year…..wreckmaniac is right, if tech doesnt change its recruiting ways, they will not win championships… they cant afford to keep recruiting top notch players who are on the fast track to the nba

Oh yea that's right TECH Wrecked….Again, there is a statistical category for that: we beat this team and you didn't…LOL. Good for you beating LSU, you still LOST to us (football, men's basketball, derick favors, women's basketball, volleyball, football recruiting…etc.) You and the rest of your trailor park brothering had our number this year! Isn't it time for you to get off the computer at SEARS and go pick up your free cheese and stamps for this month?
March 13th, 2009
10:35 am
Favors is a great recruit for Tech. He may be the talent that gets us over the 7-9 hump quickly. The big difference in his (most likely) one and done is that we have 4 other solid 2+ year players coming in with him. Completely different situation than the Crit/Young fiasco. Don't abandon recruiting the best players available.
March 13th, 2009
10:37 am
laxdawg….I hope you are joking. Right? Can't you see it now a blue chip player wants to come to Tech or would consider Tech but Tech has changed it's recruiting ways and not going after those type players. The kid ends up at NC State or somewhere and is a phenom. No thanks, always give me the blue chippers.
No, the problem is the NCAA/NBA for allowing these kids to leave after one year. Stop that and you have a better NCAA and NBA. Think about this, MLB either takes a kid after high school or after his junior college year minimum. In either case he is probably still 3 years away from being in the bigs (if ever). But somehow, the NBA thinks that a kid can go straight from high school or freshman year into the pros. Sure LaBron did and there are exceptions but few. For every LaBron and Garnett there is a Kwami Brown too. Ya'll think about it.
Rock on….Paul Hewitt is a great recruiter and coach and I hope he stays many more years.
March 13th, 2009
10:42 am
I like our chances
March 13th, 2009
10:46 am
Oh yeah, and for what it is worth. Thaddeus Young and Javaris Crittenton were never considered one and done by anybody when they were being recruited. Sure, solid recruits and good for building a few years of good basketball on the flats, but NEVER one-and-done players. Not by anyone in scouting or anywhere. So, if you don't think the system is at fault you are wrong. Sorry.
Rock on……GO HOKIES!!!!!!

Hey Atlanta Jackets, I had a wonderful time last night you beast! Give me a call ASAP so we can arrange are rendevous for tonight. I can't wait big boy!

well my daughter goes to VT for one, for another if VT wins they are in the dance which is good for the ACC, for another it knocks UNC out of the tourney and if we are lucky enough to continue playing we would play VT and not UNC. Every GT fan should be pulling for VT today. Thought it wa sobvious but I explained it anyway.
Rock on…..
March 13th, 2009

Hey TECH,
It doesn't matter what happens today if you don't win the whole thing you will be going home for a long summer. By the way, you are not going to win the whole thing.

Why are you posting on a TECH Message board? Why are Dawg fans talking trash about basketball(67-62)? Dawg Basketball will NOT WIN Anything of any importance EVER….So you telling us it's "going to be a long summer" doesn't really compare…THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP THOUGH LOSER!

hey dadgum…. take your tired and slow witted soap box crap elswhere.
clue… the vast majority of gt fans do NOT want paul hewitt here. the guy is a slacker. he has slacked ever since he signed his 7 million forever contract.
he admitted that he sleeps well even though our program is in the tank. he said last week that he has never rcruited so hard. say what? it took him 3 years of losing to finally recruit harder??????
he has lowered his bar to where a year like this year isnt so bad. and it shows!
personally the crap you spew sounds more like what a dawg would do. pretend to be a nitwit acting tech fan who takes a contrary position to everybody else and makes inane posts just to irate us ….
and as most real tech fans would say. viginia is a poly not a tech. there is only one 'tech' on the national scene and it aint from virginia.
March 13th, 2009

Did you want to hold Stafford like this before he left?
March 13th, 2009
12:45 pm
What a difference a win makes. Last night's Tickle Pile was the best since we beat the thugs in Athens. I thought everyone had a huge release especially some of the football team that was there.THWG!!!
March 13th, 2009
12:47 pm
Let's just ignore these U[sic]GA "fans" instead of stooping to their level. We're just encouraging them…
For what it's worth. Hewitt obviously knows how to coach, or he wouldn't have taken a team of mostly nobodies to the Final Four. it seems the issue is he doesn't know how to integrate top tier talent into his rotation and get the most out of the team.
March 13th, 2009
12:49 pm
is this a good tickle pile?
March 13th, 2009
12:54 pm
tickle piles are awesome. matthew stafford is hot. i miss him dearly.
March 13th, 2009
12:56 pm
I tend to ignore most of them. But I laugh at the others. Mutts can be funny, but mostly when they don't intend it.
I'd take Favors even if he only stays one year, but that's crazy. I'd expect him to at least stay two or three. He can work himself into a top ten pick by that point. And if he works hard, he'll graduate too.
UGA = Jim Crammer
Tech = John Stewart
Burn! LOL!
March 13th, 2009
1:12 pm
Go Jackets!!!
March 13th, 2009
1:36 pm
I'm a gay dawg fan, so what of it. I rule
March 13th, 2009
1:50 pm
Atlanta Jacket: i dont think you understand how good Favors is. He will probably be a top 2 pick in the 2011 NBA draft. And Lawal (if he stays) will be a top 10 pick. We WILL have the BEST frontcourt in the NATION!! GO GT!!
March 13th, 2009
1:57 pm
I ment the 2010 Draft. And this is why college basketball is SO much better than college football! Any sport where a team can go UNDEFEATED and still have NO shot at a title…. ISNT a sport! Its a dog and pony show.,,,a beauty pagent. Hoops = real sport! which of course uga sucks at so yall are jelous……
btw…im a GT and UGA fan, just a bigger gt fan!
March 13th, 2009
2:23 pm
favors and lawal are both black….doesn't it make it hard to root for them since you're racist?
March 13th, 2009

quit talking trash about my dawgs! i named myself after godsey….he sucks…wait…he beat the dawgs…damn i'm dumb.

Written by Jagat Bali Author
Jagat Bali News - Art
In addition to the dance off, since around 1960 the creators of the dance in Bali also has produced a number of Dramatic Arts Dance (Ballet). Ballet is essentially the result of the creativity of modern artists through re-processing elements of art and cultural forms that already exist. As is the case in Java where the ballet was formed by elements of the Wayang Wayang Wong and skin, in Balinese dance-drama in shape by combining elements of Puppets, Pegambuhan, pelegongan and Kekebyaran. Experts and observers agree that the arts in Bali was the first choreographer I Wayan Beratha, dance and percussion teacher at the Conservatory Karawitan (Kokar) in Denpasar Bali (later changed ISMS and is now the SMK Negeri 3 Stanger).
The growth of ballet in Bali, featuring the work begins with the play of Balinese folklore - Jayaprana. Several years later, came the ballet-ballet that melakonkan chronicle / history of Bali, as well as folktales from the outside but was well known among the people of Bali. The birth of modern dance perform in a play or dramatari received a warm welcome among the general public. This fact is encouraging, I Wayan Beratha to create another ballet.
The second ballet was created Ramayana which was first staged in 1965 on the anniversary of V Kokar to Bali in Denpasar. In both this ballet (Jayaprana and Ramayana), I Wayan Beratha still remain consistent with the original concept, which presents a story or a story through dance and musical. Although Antawacana or narrative ballet was introduced into the second, the role of narrative is limited to give emphasis to the dramatic scenes that happen on stage. Delivered by a puppeteer, from offstage, Antawacana still be supporting a less dominant. Antawacana domination in Bali starting to look less ballet since mid 1970.
In 1978, organizers Festival Bali Gang Kebyar se requires that each district a representative from Bali to show a ballet is no longer than 60 minutes. When it was born eight short ballet with the main actors between 10 to 15 dancers. What is interesting is that in all of ballet that is displayed on this festival mastermind appears dominant role, even more than what happens at earlier times.
Based on the number of dancers, the ballet is in Bali would be divided into two types, namely a small ballet (usually performed by dancers from 10 to 25 people, as happened between 1960 to 1970) and ballet colossal or large (generally involve between 50 to 150 dancers, as happened in the ballet-ballet that featured in the arena PKB). By source lakonnya, ballet can be split into three Bali group of Ramayana, Mahabharata, Babad and folklore.

Question concerning eBay??
When I am watching an item on ebay, I sometimes have a strange problem. When the item is "counting down"--- time left, although it is in red print, less then One hour left, and I am logged in, it does not count down.:confused: I have to constantly refresh to get accurate time left.:(
This doesn't happen all the time, just most of the time.
are you viewing the item ? or are you in your "watched" items.
mine doesnt count down unless im actually the highest bidder and on the items page.
Are you using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or something else?
Older browsers wont support more advanced features such as the count down.

It sounds wimpy, but I have to say it: Can't we all just get along? The fight between enterprise IT and Mozilla over Firefox 5 is a classic culture clash in which neither side is capable of listening to the other. And both sides will lose if they don't cut it out.
The Web needs to move fast. It's as simple as that. If it weren't for the Mozilla Foundation and the competitive juice it injected into the Web, we'd all still be running an elderly version of IE -- and none of the innovations we've come to expect would exist. Indeed, we're still hampered by legacy browsers. How many websites still avoid new technologies because IE6 remains so common? IT needs to understand that.
[ Keep up with the key tech news and analysis with the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Mozilla isn't blameless. It wants to pretend that Firefox is just a consumer product, ignoring the fact that enterprises like IBM (with 500,000 users) have made it their default browser and have real concerns about compatibility and security. Telling IT to go bleep itself, as Firefox director Asa Dotzler did last week, is arrogant and really, really stupid.
It didn't help that Mozilla failed to signal in advance that the release of Firefox 5 also meant an end to security updates of the three-month-old Firefox 4. Caught flat-footed and feeling dissed, IT hands were furious.
Whose Web is it?
The Web is a shared resource. It's not just for consumers, it's not just for business, and it's not just for government. It's for everyone, and that's why browser technology -- which of course dictates what can be implemented on the Web -- is so critical.
As Peter Bright over at Ars Technica put it, the Web is like a network slowed down by an 802.11b device; it won't move faster than its slowest component. That's not an exact analogy, but the lingering presence of older browsers acts that way. It took forever for IE6 to fade away (it has a share of about 5 percent now), and while it was prevalent, huge numbers of websites marched to its excruciatingly slow beat.
Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome (also on a very fast cycle) are pushing innovation, and there ought to be a way to keep those browsers inside the enterprise. Can testing be modified to recognize that whatever the version number, only limited functions have changed in the new version of the browser?

Buying a 4x4 in Managua
Hello, I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Toyota Hilux of a Toyota Tundra, both with the extended cab. My GF and I (with our dog) will be moving to Nica (SJDS area) on Nov 1st.
I'm a bit worried that a brand new truck might attract unwanted attention, what do you think?
Although when I read about how difficult it is to find a good used 4x4 that won't break down all the time, I'm inclined to buy new. We will be living about 20min outside of SJDS so the last thing I want are car problems.
Any opinions on what I should do? Any ideas of what either of these two vehicles new will cost?
Thanks, Shawn
I like them but check on line re the transfer box problems
They have failed on both of the K2700 4 x 4's I know of in SJdS. Mauricio (Pizza San Juan) is one of them, he is selling his for $8,500.
Transfer case problems K2700
Couldn't find any mention of them on line. Still, that would be a red flag. Do you know if these were fairly new vehicles? Were they bearing failures? Cracked cases?
I'll ask Mauricio
Give me a day or two. I like them, the big double cab and payload area is useful if you are building of taking a few surfers to the beach. There is a K2900 now, single cab but heavier payload and bigger engine.
It could be matter of hitting rocks on the dirt roads? Perhaps a simple add on protection plate would work.
OK, here are some scant details on the problem
The transfer case has some kind of "membrane" which is part of the actuator!! Sounds like a diaphragm for the fluid or vacuum operated system that lets you shift on the fly. With this part failed, when you try to shift the lever in the cab to 4 x 4, there is no pressure in the transfer case.
Doesn't sound that bad but seems a removal and partial strip down of the transfer case is required.
That's the best I got from an Italian with Spanish as his second and English as his third language!!
Be prepared to pay a lot
Be prepared to pay a lot more for a vehicle here than 1 would in the USA. 1 does see a lot of Toyota's, but pay attention to where it was made! I was looking at a RAV4 that came from the USA---AutoNica, the Managua dealership, told me they could not get a lot of parts for it, because it came from the USA!! They were more than happy if I bought the parts, then they do the install. Labor is super cheap here. You see a Lot of the Helix's, Mitshibushi L200,, fair amount of Hyundia's, bought Toyota would rank #1.
Go for the Hilux. They are
Go for the Hilux. They are actually common and you will see them around. You won't stand out or draw attention to yourself. My friends in Nagarote bought one within the last couple of years and paid $26K for his. I assume he purchased it in Managua. If you decide on used just buy something that is common to the area and you won't have a problem finding parts or mechanics. Motorcycles are very cheap to purchase in Nica in case that interests you. Florida&Nagarote
Hilux 100% agree
My advice is Hilux, Tundra is beautiful but is not for SJDS area, specially non paving roads, and you must take in consideration:
1. If you buy locally a Hilux you will find any kind of repair parts,... not for Tundra. 2. Mechanics are not familiar in Rivas area with Tundra technology. 3. If some day you have an accident no there are parts for Tundra... in Hilux you can find everything. 4. Gas consumption, any vehicle has an absolutely different gas rate or average than in Nicaragua; Roads and gas quality probably. A relative of mine has the same Toyota Camry I had and the gas consumption is different; in USA are more efficient. A Tundra for this area need 4x4 the average will be 18 - 20 gallons per kilometer; a Hilux use Diesel, a bit less expensive than gas, and will do 35 gallons approximately per kilometer. 5. Re sell price.. .. a Hilux easily you will sell for a good price in two weeks... Tundra will be harder.
The only one advantage of Tundra, in my opinion is comfort in side of the vehicle.
If you are coming as a retiree I remind you, you can have a tax exemption over $ 25,000.00.- http://www.nicaliving.com/node/15617

P.S. I went to Rancho Santana this year, I went a Four Runner 2005, a friend went in a Tundra 4x2, 2007, when we return to Managua and he stop the Tundra the horn fall down!
Tundra MPG
Paul. Your miles per Kilometer on the TUNDRA are off,I own a TUNDRA 5.7 V8 4x4 6 Sped Crew Max and I get 19 MPG (Miles not KMs per gallon ) on the hgw,and about 17 city,I love my truck, comfy as hell,TRD package help,I may bring mine to Nica towards the end of the year,I've had it for 4 years trouble FREE barely 56K miles on it :-).
45 was mentioned in the new pensionado act.
Send Paul Tiffer a message he will know for sure.
There are many cross platform "Yotas" these days
The FJ in north america is actually built on the Prado frame. A Prado in Nica is the current SUV (LX470?) Lexus in the US and Canada
Going back to you original question the defining difference for a Hilux over a Tundra is a solid front Axle. If you do any off roading you will quickly find how advantageous a SFA is for angle of attack of hills and potholes.
I do not know if the current Hilux models have a SFA.
Also the D4D is a sweet engine... I've seen it pull from a full stop, in 3rd, to 70kmh before the owner shifted to 4th (Poor mistreated Yota)
The Tundra is Front independent coil spring, and while that is good for paved and dirt roads with moderate bumps. Also that 5.7L will KILL you at the pump. You see since a Diesel makes almost all of its torque before 3000rpm it is just perfect sot stop, start and slow driving. Most Gas engines do not make most of theit torque past 3000 RPM and stop start and slow bumpy roads will be where all of your dollars go out the tail pipe.
WRT Mazda and Mitz they are close but you will see the difference in fit and finish (better) and also look at a 7 yr old Yota vs a 7 Yr old Mitz or Mazda you will see how they hold up. I have a 25 yr old Mitz RHD Pajero/Montero and I can say that it is just as tough as an 88 Hilux or 4 Runner but as stated by others.. YMMV. Myself I love the Mid 2000's Mazda Diesels... There is a new body style called the BT-50 .. not sure it is sold in nica though.
Toyota is king for a reason.
If you've got the money, buy the Hilux. There is no perfect vehicle in Nicaragua but the Hilux is darn close.
The talk about parts...stick with Toyota. Spare parts are never very easy to get your hands on without paying a premium no matter what model but if you buy something other than Toyota you're screwing yourself even more. You may think you're saving some bucks but you will pay for that penny-wise-pound-foolish logic later on. Bank on it.
When I first moved to Nicaragua in '96 I brought an Isuzu Trooper from Miami. I was so proud because I found a diesel model in Miami. Then discovered that spare parts were nowhere to be found in Nicaragua. The models they sell in the US were designed differently than those sold in Central America. My hard lesson learned.
Do NOT buy an American model vehicle! They may look nice on the show room floor but they fall apart quickly and don't come close to the durability of TOYOTA.
Don't be such a Toyotona :) ...
point being for skdoyle is that a moderate looking mid-range white double cabin 4x4 is as near a non-descript vehicle as exists here in Nicaragua...we hardly get pulled over now for that reason I believe. I would look for a less than a year old HiLux if you're set on that and have a good mechanic really give it a once-over before you buy it. That is still very much a target for carjacking though...
I think it would be less likely for a nearly new vehicle but buying used is tricky as they will use the wrong parts, do obviously temporary fixes, literally gluing things together, painting parts to look new, you name it.
also... you may want to consider looking at other brands, to me you get more for your money. I got a 2002 Mazda B2900 and I think it has every bit the quality of the HiLux but the Mazda was $5-6k cheaper than a comparable Toyota.
This country is loco for toyotas "toyotonas" I've heard it called and I just don't see paying that much more for a vehicle I can easily get parts for, made in Japan, a world-proven vehicle, etc.
And yes roger, on Carretera a Masaya I see more and more high-end BMWs, Mercedes, aforesaid Land / Range Rover in addition to the everpresent Prado's and HiLux.
I do like the look of the HiLux that have snorkels. I figure you must really mean business when your truck is sporting a snorkel :)

you're a funny guy
Mazda every bit of quality as a hilux???? ROTFLMAO NOTTTT. not the mazda,not the mitzu, NONE came close to the DURABILITY/DEPENDABILIT of the hilux.
And I've had/used plenty of models in Nica in rough terrains,due to my hobby :-) .
thanks! like I say, YMMV...

You don't get to much attention with a simple Toyota Pick Up truck in the 25.000 range, that spot is already taken by the 100.000$ land cruisers passing you on the road. Be live me, it's plenty of them, throw in a few Range Rovers and Mercedes SUV and you know what i am saying.
You want attention, drive what I drive, beaten up old Chevy, scars the shit out of people when it's coming.
$500,000 wrapped around Mauricio's Pizzería
A handful of vehicles last long weekend July 19th! (Some revolution that was!!) A Range Rover HSE, Audi Q5, a couple of BMW SUV's, a nice pewter colored 7 series sedan and a couple of token Prados.
Mind the ox cart when you leave!!
there are many
good choices. I currently have a 2000 hilux pickup, the old school version and I love that truck. We use it mainly on the farm and as long as I don't get the front wheels totally off the ground that truck will pull whatever I ask it to. Also own a 2002 Prado, it's alright but honestly it's a gutless dog. We were afraid to buy anything else because of what everyone says "Nicaragua is Toyota country" well it's true there are lots of Toyotas here, I like mine, but they are by no means any less expensive to maintain or repair. We have since picked up a 2008 Nissan patrol and I really like that truck. It's built much tuffer than the prado, much heavier guaged steel under the truck, bigger springs, just a better built vehicle in my opinion. You have to be good about oil changes and filter changes, keep your air filter clean on those diesels, keep some good tires all the way around and get your front end alignment done regularly to save on wear and tear. Automaster does a great job for $23. I work on the rio coco in the north of Nicaragua and we rent trucks to take to Wiwili, we often have a Mazda in the mix and while it keeps up just fine it guzzles diesel. The new hilux can make it to wiwili and back to Managua on a tank take the mazda a tank and a half.
Other 4x4's
Anybody got anything good or bad to say about a Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, or Nissan Xterra?
Just don't buy them. Nicaragua is a "Toyota country". The good news is that Toyota makes excellent vehicles. The reality is that if you have anything else, parts and service outside Managua get hard to find with the possible exception of the Kia Pride.
Fact is
Toyota part and service are also hard to find...even at "ultra-premium" prices. Toyota is OK, but the the be and end all. Plenty of other good choices here, part and mechs that can work on them are around. You'll have part problems in some remote vill anyplace here with anything, even a horse cart. Don't be constrained by the "you cannot do it naysayers". ZZT
Hilux or Tundra
I went through the same thought process and decided to go with a new Hilux Double Cab 4x4. Buying slightly used just didn't save me enough money. So as a gringo, I opted to go with new one because I just didn't want to take any chances with used. I don't think routine maintenance of a vehicle really fits in the Nica vocabulary. A tundra is a bit big for some rural roads you might find yourself in not to mention the fuel economy issue. I really like the way the Isuzu looked but here in Nica, Hilux is King.
If ever there was a controversial truck, its the Hilux. Some rave, others say its junk. I believe its made in Brazil if that matters. If you are going to a pickup take a look at the Izusu F ... my friends hee who live on the really bad roads who have them rave. Its smaller, quick and dependable. I would actually lean toward a Nissan Frontier since it's the only one that has a truly lockable four wheel drive (as you know most other four wheel drives are NOT). This is the truck you see farmers here buy.
If you don't really need a pickup, think of options. Theft out of the backs of pickups are legendary, especially in cities ... even at intersections.
I really like the comment about the Nissan Patrol ... its tough. I would lean toward the Patrol or Mitsubishi Montero. If I went to a Prado / Landcruiser I wouldn't buy anything newer than 2005, the last year the finance guys were not running Toyota.
Just my two cents. Sure hope I haven't offended anyone.
MN Hacienda Iguana, Tola, Rivas SKYPE: QWLCrew
Agree on the 2005
After 2005 the hilux seem weaker and look older/ beaten up faster. The newer engines are expensive to maintain and you cannot use the run of the mill local mechanic, so you would have to go to main centers to have any work done. I would buy a 2005 Hilux in good shape , get the Engine overhauled and some other maintenance done on the shocks etc. all for under 16K and be worry free for as at least as much time i would be with a brand new Hilux. for less than 1/2 the cost over the same period. Diesel Engines are EXPENSIVE to fix, and doing 1 overhaul will usually cost about 2K on older engines (3L etc.) and more on newer ones, so you will probably loose all that savings you made paying for diesel at the pump with your first overhaul. Sometimes I think a gasoline engine is more economical in the long run, since the repairs are MUCH cheaper.
Agree on the 2005
May I ask are the prices of Nica online sites shown in Dollars? It seems if Cordobas were intended cars are beyond cheap in NI; they're a steal!
A horse! A kingdom for a horse! Goran Bockman
Foretuners look really nice, but are very expensive new ... more than $50,000 with taxes. I've read that they are not a good off road vehicle. I've been driving a 2001 Suzuki Gran Vatara here since 2005 on VERY bad, muddy, potholed roads and have been delighted. Its small enough to dart around in the cities without any problems finding parking, doesn't attract attention, best smaller 4-wheel drive for off road rating ...I've had to do some front end work after five years. Only problem is that this is one is made in USA, not Japan. Parts for Japanese made vehicles are much lower than US made vehicles. Mechanics here are good and can work on ANYTHING ... its the parts that have to be bought from Pellas or other retailers that's the problem
MN Hacienda Iguana, Tola, Rivas SKYPE: QWLCrew
The accused local Narco had Tundra....may be bad luck!!
Its a little big for around town but nice. My vote would be a slightly used Hi Lux and then you aren't going to freak when you get your first dent and scrape or bits stolen from it. 20 minutes south you may be on alequines all the way pretty soon, north not so lucky yet. Shocks, springs front ends a wear about the same except I would think the Tundra parts are more $ and not as common. The Kms on those roads count at least double on certain parts of the car so expect front end repairs on any joints and rubber/metal bushes etc. Lots of muddy gritty (some salty) water working its way into things too.
I am a "when in Rome" sort of guy so the Hi Lux would win but look at the big 'Ambulance style' Landcruiser if you were thinking of the Tundra. Lots of passenger room and space for the dog in the back, safe and secure.
Just a few thoughts on what I see around here.
