INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 25, 2012)—A reunion with jockey Rafael Bejarano and a waiting ride led to a victory for Donner Wasser in the $54,700 turf feature Friday night (video) at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Making her second start for trainer Mike Mitchell, the 5-year-old Thunder Gulch mare was up in the final yards for her third lifetime victory. She completed the mile in 1:36.48 while winning by a half-length.
The 6-1 fourth choice in a field of seven California bred fillies and mares – reduced after the scratch of Grasp – Donner Wasser paid $15.60, $6.40 and $3.20. Out of the Chequer mare Test the Waters, the chestnut has earned $120,404 in 13 starts.
Third against a similar group April 29 in her return to Southern California after two races at Turf Paradise in Arizona, Donner Wasser was reserved early by the meet's leading rider while Shewhomustbeobeyed set the pace tracked by 2-1 favorite Unusual Hottie.
Owned by a partnership that includes Thomas Noone and Joe, Bill and Bernice Thomas, Donner Wasser rallied in the center of the course for her second win under Bejarano. The two had teamed for a maiden victory Aug. 13, 2010 at Del Mar.
After encountering some traffic with about a quarter of a mile to run, Elana Mar came through along the inside to gain second, a nose in front of Unusual Hottie, who had a clear advantage with a furlong to go.
Elana Mar returned $5.20 and $3.40. The show price on Unusual Hottie, who hasn't missed the board in four races on turf, was $2.60. Carrie Rose, who is also trained by Mitchell, was fourth as the 2-1 second choice.
The win was the second of the evening for Bejarano, enabling him to increase his lead in the jockey standings to five (22-17) over Joe Talamo through 18 days of the Spring/Summer season.
Racing resumes Saturday. Post time is 1 p.m. Track gates open at 9:55 a.m. for simulcasts.
One hour before the first race, Doug O'Neill, the trainer of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I'll Have Another, will be the special guest of Kurt Hoover on the Inside Scoop. The Inside Scoop is held at the Paddock Tote Board.
The feature attraction is the $150,000 American Handicap, a Grade II at 1 1/8 miles on turf. Mr. Commons is the 8-5 favorite on Russ Hudak's morning line.

So, I have always been fascinated with USGS Bench Markers that can be found at the summits of many mountains. I have done a few searches, but really can't find much logistical information on them. I'm hoping someone on this forum may have some knowledge of these and may be able to help. This is purely for my own curiosity (and maybe other forum members).
1. What makes a mountain worthy of one of these markers? I see many mountains that have them and many that do not, but there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to them that I can tell. For instance, I believe Washington, Lafayette and Liberty all of have them, but Osceola and Lincoln do not, why? I've even seen smaller peaks with no real popularity, such as Iron Mountain have them too (although, I think this mountain used to more popular back in the day when it was a ski mountain).
2. Where can I find a list of USGS markers that exist? Is there a database some place that can be accessed on line? I'm wondering more specifically for New Hampshire.
Again, just questions out of curiosity...hoping someone has some insight!

Tractor trailer driver crashes truck slides down embankment
MOUNT ULLA — After nearly two hours trapped inside the cab of his tractor-trailer, Elmer Cook, 47, of Morganton, was freed Friday following a single-vehicle crash on N.C. 801 not far from Centenary Church Road in Mount Ulla, near the Iredell County line.
N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper C.J. Doty said Cook was traveling south on N.C. 801, in the western part of the county, to deliver a load of paper to a Mooresville business. He ran off the road around 11:25 a.m. and down an embankment. The cab hit a tree, split open and separated from its chassis. The load in the trailer overturned onto its side and the truck slid 316 feet from where it hit the road, Doty said.
Cook was hauling five large rolls of paper, each weighing 6,000 pounds, Doty said.
He said it was unclear if the load shifted, causing the truck to leave the road and overturn.
West Rowan Assistant Fire Chief Andy Russell, who was also incident commander, said the rescue operations were lengthy because of the amount of debris and the way the truck was positioned. With the rising temperatures, rescuers had to be switched often.
The temperature during the crash was in the high 70s, but the heat index was around 86 degrees.
Rescuers used the Jaws of Life to cut a path through the cab to get to Cook, who was pinned underneath the steering wheel. Rescuers also had to stabilize the tractor and the cab before attempting to get Cook out safely. The teams relied on pulleys, ropes and a ladder to securely get rescuers down the 30 foot embankment.
It took one hour and 45 minutes to get Cook free of the cab and inside a waiting ambulance.
Russell said Cook was coherent throughout the entire ordeal and never lost consciousness. Cook did complain of not being able to feel his legs. Russell said he believed Cook was the one who made the initial call to emergency dispatchers.
Cook later said he had pain in his shoulder and head. The trooper said Cook had a possible hip fracture. He was taken to Lake Norman Regional Medical Center in Mooresville.
The following agencies aided in the rescue: West Rowan Volunteer Fire, West Rowan Rescue, Locke Fire, Rowan Rescue Squad, Shepherds Volunteer Fire, Atwell Fire, Mooresville Fire and Mooresville Rescue.
Cook was wearing a seat belt. He was cited for driving left of center. The trooper also believes speed was a factor in the crash. Cook is with Stephen Craig Transport Inc., of Hickory.

Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself as a new member to the forum. I reside in southeast Tennessee and would like to plan a Mt. Washington trip soon. I just finished Not Without Peril, quite a few amazing stories.
I would like to try and make a trip in late spring of 09. Couple of questions I need answers to before I start planning my trip. Which would be the best airport to fly into? What are my transportation options from the airport to the mtn? And are there campground accommodations for me at the base of the mountain?
Many thanks.

The EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater (AP14001HS) is quick to cool large rooms up to 525 sq. ft. using its powerful dual hose design that cools 40% quicker than single hosed models. Doubling as a heater, this versatile portable AC provides you with year-round comfort, no matter what the season.
Confident in the quality of their products, EdgeStar sets itself apart from other manufacturers by backing their portable air conditioners with an industry-leading three (3) year limited warranty.
Durable Construction:With a stainless steel element and quality construction, this powerful unit is as durable as it is attractive
Dual Hose Design:Separate intake and exhaust hoses allow for more air intake, more cooling power, and a more stable air pressure, which all contribute to a 40% faster cooling rate than similar single-hosed units (can be used as single hose as well)
Energy Efficiency Ratio:This portable air conditioner has an impressively high 11.2 EER, meaning it consumes significantly less energy than others in its class
Self-Evaporative System:Equipped with an auto-drain system that exhausts all condensate, the need to manually drain water from the unit is eliminated**
Easy-to-Use Window Kit:Venting your portable air conditioner is a simple three step process, and your purchase includes all the necessary materials-- Simply connect the vent hoses to the back of the unit, remove the caps from the window vent kit and connect it to the exhaust hoses
Eco-Friendly:Designed to be an environmentally friendly product, this portable air conditioner uses non ozone-depleting R410A refrigerant and is made with all RoHS compliant components that are free of harmful chemicals

Three Year Limited Warranty:This portable air conditioner is backed by an industry-leading three (3) year limited warranty
Learn from the Experts: Comparing Dual vs Single Hose Portable A/C's
- There is no pressure lost within the room because all indoor air is cooled and ventilated.
- The second hose allows outdoor air to be brought in to cool the unit during operation.
- Warmer air from adjacent areas (under doorways & other unsealed areas) enters the room to equalize air pressure. Because of this, it takes more energy and time to cool down a room.
* This portable air conditioner has achieved our 5 star product rating based on independent testing of its BTU class cooling capacity, durability, and quality of components.
** In high humidity environments there may be some water accumulation. This unit is equipped with a direct drain option for continuous use in this type of environment.
*** All portable air conditioners require that the exhaust hose be vented outside of the room you are trying to cool.
****This portable air conditioner heats through the use of a heat pump process. It is not recommended for use in environments where the ambient temperature falls below 50°F.

Martinez, who Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Anthony Bejaran said is believed to be a Sureño gang member, was reportedly driving an unidentified SUV with three other men when they passed a quinceañera party at a house on the 400 block of Briggs Avenue at about 7:30 p.m.
A quinceañera is a special birthday party for young women who reach the age of 15. In Latin America, it is considered to mark the transition from childhood to a young woman.
The Patterson man allegedly yelled the word "buster" from the driver's seat to Norteño gang members at the party, Bejaran said. The term is commonly used by Sureños to insult members of the rival gang.
Partygoers allegedly shouted gang slogans in return, Bejaran said.
Martinez then allegedly drove a quarter-mile to Martin Luther King Drive before returning to the party. This time, Bejaran said, he got out of the SUV and challenged the partygoers to a fight before allegedly pulling out a handgun and running into the crowd while firing.
One shot hit a man thought to be a 18-year-old Norteño gang member, who was taken to a Modesto hospital for treatment. His injuries were not life-threatening, according to Bejaran.
An unidentified partygoer allegedly fired back at Martinez, striking him at least once, the sergeant said. Bejaran would not say where the man was shot, but said he collapsed in the driveway of the home where the party was taking place.
The other men in the SUV reportedly picked up Martinez and drove off, according to Bejaran.
A party attendee had called 911, Bejaran said, and a Modesto police officer pulled over the vehicle thought to be involved in the incident near Martin Luther King Drive and California Avenue, about a half-mile from the shooting.
Martinez was taken to a Modesto hospital, where he died Saturday, Bejaran said.
Detectives believe people left the party before deputies arrived, Bejaran said, and investigators hope to speak with anyone who saw the incident.
Bejaran said detectives also want to speak with the person who shot Martinez, as they do not know that person's identity.
Anyone with information about the investigation can contact Detective Darwin Hatfield at 525-7100. People can also leave an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 521-4636; email tips at www.modestopolice.com/CrimeStoppers; or text them to 274637 by typing "Tip704" plus the message and be eligible for a cash reward.

A final report from a Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority consultant that found California American Water's proposed desalination plant would be considerably more expensive than two other proposals has sparked a debate over how the relative costs were calculated and the relevance of the finding.
The final report, issued by Carlsbad-based Separation Processes, Inc. and released by Carmel mayor and water authority vice president Jason Burnett on Tuesday, employed a considerably higher interest rate of about 8.5 percent for financing for Cal Am's proposal than had been used in an earlier draft report. That resulted in a much wider difference in cost between the projects.
As a result, the report found that Cal Am's project would cost about $3,300 per acre-foot per year, while competing proposals from DeepWater Desal and the People's Moss Landing Project would cost about $2,205 and $2,320, respectively.
Burnett said Wednesday the final report underscored the need for local public financing capable of lowering the Cal Am proposal's overall debt cost. Speaking at a state Public Utilities Commission project cost workshop last week, Burnett said public financing could save ratepayers more than $100 million over the life of the project.
"It illustrates the importance of getting low-cost financing," Burnett said. "That's why I'm so focused on public financing.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie challenged the SPI report's use of a higher interest rate to reach its conclusion, though she said company officials are in talks with the authority on alternative financing plans.
Burnett said the authority is pushing to require Cal Am to include a public contribution in its project financing plan to save ratepayers money, and pointed out that the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and the county have also recommended a public financing requirement. He proposed requiring Cal Am to accept about $90 million in local funding in place of its own equity, and also to count a low-interest state loan as a public contribution rather than company equity. The local funding would likely have to be raised through a surcharge on water bills or some other fee, Burnett said.
That kind of public financing plan, he argued, would save ratepayers about $112 million over 30 years and make Cal Am's project more competitive with the others, improving its chances of ultimately earning the authority's recommendation.
WaterPlus President Ron Weitzman questioned whether ratepayers would be willing to pay a surcharge or make some other upfront contribution to the project cost for a desal plant Cal Am would own, pointing out that the ratepayers would be assuming all the risk in case the project failed.
Cal Am is already in the process of collecting about $32 million from Peninsula ratepayers on the failed regional desal project.
The authority's technical advisory committee is set to meet Jan. 7 and is expected to consider the final SPI report.
Meanwhile, the authority board is expected to make a formal recommendation on which of the three projects it will support in time to submit it as part of official testimony before the CPUC on Feb. 22. An updated report from SPI, expected next month, will help inform that decision, according to Burnett.
Bowie suggested it was misleading for the SPI report to apply the higher interest rate to the company's proposal and pointed out that Cal Am's plan calls for employing both a no-interest $99 million surcharge and low-interest state revolving fund loans, which would lower the overall cost of the project debt to about 4 percent. By that measure, she said, Cal Am's project would end up costing ratepayers about the same as the other two proposals.
Burnett said the surcharge was left out of SPI's analysis of the Cal Am proposal's cost because it isn't guaranteed and wasn't included in either of the other two proposals, and including it would have offered Cal Am an unfair advantage by setting up an "apples-to-oranges" comparison.
He pointed out that SPI was not asked to do a detailed financial analysis, and there was room for more discussion about the findings. He said the authority would rely on the water management district's expertise, or hire a financial consultant, to take a more in-depth look at financing.
Bowie said that Cal Am officials continue to discuss alternative project financing proposals with the authority, and said they share the authority's goals of lowering costs to customers and are committed to an "open dialogue" on the issue.

Both the San Lorenzo Valley and Scotts Valley High School football teams ran into stout opposition in Week 2 and hope to turn the tide in Week 3.
Scotts Valley
Scotts Valley High will travel to Le Grand to face the Bulldogs of Le Grand High at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14.
The Falcons are coming off a 40-7 loss to Central High School in Texas during their annual out-of-state preseason trip.
In that game, Central opened with a 99-yard return touchdown on its way to scoring three touchdowns in each of the first two quarters. The home team took a 40-0 lead into halftime.
The Falcons got on the board when Garrett Johnston plunged into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter.
Ari Wargon led the way with 17 carries for 87 yards for the Falcons, while Johnston was 7-for-17 passing for 83 yards with two interceptions.
Friday's game pits Scotts Valley against the 1-1 Bulldogs, who fell 25-10 to Livingston High of Livingston last weekend.
San Lorenzo Valley
The Cougars hope to improve on offense on Saturday, Sept. 15, against the Knights of Hillsdale High after falling a week earlier, 27-12, to visiting Edison High of Stockton.
In last week's game, the Cougars scored all their points on two interception returns for touchdowns in the first half, among their six interceptions on the day.
Edison opened the scoring by returning an errant throw from sophomore quarterback Isaac Newberry 25 yards for a touchdown. The visitors muffed the extra point. On the following Edison possession, SLV's Trevor Patterson returned a Julian Garcia pass 30 yards for a touchdown.
A short time later, the Cougar linebacker Robby Biagiotti intercepted Garcia for a 40-yard touchdown return. SLV was unable to convert either extra point and took a 12-6 lead into halftime.
"Our defense started out really strong," Biagiotti said after the game. "We were able to net their fast players. After halftime, we weren't able to stop their quick guys. We weren't getting their cutbacks."
In the second half, SLV missed a field goal on its opening possession, followed by Patterson's third interception of the contest. However, the drive stalled when Edison intercepted a Newberry pass near the end zone.
After a scoreless third quarter, Edison ran in three touchdowns as the Cougar defense seemed to tire in the fourth, taking a 27-12 lead that they would not relinquish.
"We played good, hard defense," said Doug Morris, the SLV head coach. "If we could have gotten our offense going, it might have been a different outcome."
The Cougars forced seven turnovers in all, including Patterson's three interceptions and single interceptions by Biagiotti, Duncan Mackie and Ben Knudson. Mackie also recovered a fumble in the first half.
Kjell Johnson rushed for 51 yards on 11 carries, and Jayson Bryson provided a spark with six carries for 36 yards.
Newberry finished 9-for-27 with 99 yards and three interceptions. However, he found a rhythm with Lucas Sinnott, who had eight catches for 87 yards, often catching short passes and gaining yardage after breaking the first tackle.
SLV will travel to Hillsdale High School in San Mateo at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15. Hillsdale is 0-2 on the season.

text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted September 24, 2012 By Carah Ong Myth and Reality in the Life of Obama David Maraniss, associate editor at the Washington Post and author of Barack Obama: The Story, spoke to a standing-room only crowd at the Miller Center's Forum this morning. Maraniss explored some of the myth's surrounding Barack Obama, the roots of who he is as a person and implications of his biography for his governing style. Maraniss exposed two particular myths that have been exploited for political purposes. First, according to Maranniss' research on the ground in Kenya, it was evangelical Christians that made the rise of the Obamas possible. Barack Obama, Sr. was trained in Anglican school. Furthermore, Obama Sr.'s mentor, Betty Mooney, was an evangelical Christian who was part of a faith-based literacy movement and whose grandfather was one of the founders of Texas Christian University. Muslims have nothing to with Mr. Obama's existence. The revelation of the family's relationship to the evangelical Christian movement undermines the credibility of those who employ the claim that the President is a Muslim as a political scare tactic. The story that Obama's grandfather was tortured by the British is another myth the president himself innocently perpetrates in his own book, Dreams of My Father. There's a sliver of possibility that it happened. However, there are no documents to prove it and Maraniss interviewed six people who said it didn't happen. Maraniss referred to a "sick American culture" that has exploited this myth as means to portray the president as basing policies and governance on an anti-colonialist victimhood worldview.

Some sound bars, like Polk's SurroundBar and ZVOX's Z-Base 550,
contain carefully aligned speaker drivers that can direct localized sound to
specific parts of your home theater room. That's how they're able to deliver believable,
pinpointed surround sound from a single speaker. Others use digital processing to produce virtual surround sound. You can
shop for sound bar speaker solutions
here. We recommend using a subwoofer included with some models.
Today's home theater receivers all offer HDMI switching so you can connect multiple high-def sources.
If you'd like a really simple, one-cable connection from your receiver to your HDTV, look for a model with
HDMI conversion or upconversion. These receivers can take video signals from any source and send them to
your TV via one HDMI cable. Receivers with HDMI upconversion can even scale those signals to a higher
resolution, like 1080p. If you've got a 3D-ready TV, you should also look for a 3D-capable home theater

Brent Bookwalter will represent the BMC Racing Team at this weekend's USA Cycling national championships in Chattanooga, Tenn., and is the only returning medalist from last year's individual time trial.
Time Trial Saturday; Road Race Monday
Last year, Bookwalter finished third behind winner David Zabriskie (Garmin-Sharp) and teammate Tejay van Garderen. Van Garderen opted to rest after his victory at the Amgen Tour of California Sunday while Zabriskie crashed and broke his collarbone during time trial warm-up at the Amgen Tour. Bookwalter said the course for Saturday's 30.9-kilometer race against the clock doesn't exactly play to his strengths but he is feeling good about his form. "We did a great week in California and it breeds confidence going into nationals," Bookwalter said. "I feel really good and strong, not too fatigued or weathered. I wish I had a couple teammates there, but I'm excited and motivated to race in my home region of the country." The Asheville, N.C., resident said he will take a wait-and-see approach in Mondays' 161.9-kilometer road race. "The race can definitely be won without a big, powerful team," he said.

Cast and yet mostly hand-crafted from silver into a most exuberant configuration, the foliate and Baroque design features a dazzling array of clear white pastes. Please note the large cushion shaped central pastes; shaped pastes all but disappeared after around this time being replaced by round simply faceted pastes only. The three articulated elements encourage a lovely fluidity of movement and display a rich ornamentation.

2003 Acura NSX -- Introduction
The intention in creating the Acura NSX, first introduced for the 1991 model year, was to produce a hand-built, exotic, mid-engine sports car that would establish entirely new levels of prestige, performance, refinement, drivability and reliability. The aluminum-bodied NSX defined a new interpretation of the exotic sports car through state-of-the-art, lightweight technology.
As the NSX evolved during the 1990s, it was continually hailed as a technological showcase.
The NSX-T model introduced during the 1995 model year, which featured a removable roof panel, broadened the appeal of the NSX. It also succeeded in maintaining the extremely high levels of performance and sophistication established by the NSX coupe. Technological achievements included an optional Formula One-inspired Sequential SportShift' automatic transmission with a unique steering column-mounted electronic shifter; a drive-by-wire throttle system and standard variable, electric power-assisted steering (EPS), a compact and efficient system pioneered in the first-year NSX equipped with automatic transmission.
The 1997 NSX/NSX-T took a giant step forward in performance with several major enhancements - most notably a larger, more powerful 3.2-liter, 290 hp, V-6 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. Other significant engineering updates included larger brakes and an improved Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), refinement to the electric power steering system, application of new aluminum alloys for lighter-weight, high-rigidity body panels, adoption of special heat-reflecting window glass and an anti-theft vehicle immobilizer feature.
Beginning in 2002, all NSXs feature a removable aluminum roof panel that can be easily stowed under the rear glass hatch. Also, in 2002, the NSX received a variety of styling enhancements to modernize the car's looks and refinements to the chassis to ensure its competitiveness as a world class sports car. The front fascia of the NSX was updated with a higher hood, and a redesigned front bumper and spoiler. The front headlights changed from pop-up halogen units to fixed position Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. Other external styling refinements for 2002 included new mesh side air intakes, a trunk lip spoiler, more aggressive exhaust tips and a redesigned taillight configuration. Chassis refinements included a larger diameter rear stabilizer bar, firmer front springs and bigger wheels and tires to enhance the car's dynamic handling characteristics. The enhancements together combined to reduce the car's coefficient of drag from 0.32 to 0.30 and raise the top speed from 168 to 175 mph.
In designing the NSX, achieving a light overall weight was chosen as the best way to attain the following attributes:
- Top-rank performance comparable to existing exotics
- Excellent livability - the NSX is as easy to live with as any other Acura
- Outstanding handling whether in the city or on the highway
- A high level of comfort and ergonomic design and low ambient-noise level
- Reliability and durability equal to mass-produced automobiles
- Extremely high levels of fit, finish and materials
- Excellent climate control system to keep the occupants comfortable in any weather condition
While providing the excitement of open-air motoring, the NSX also set new benchmarks for exotic sports cars in the following areas:
- Excellent body rigidity for precise handling
- Outstanding levels of noise isolation
- Minimizing wind buffeting at speed
- Providing a security system that functions with the top removed
The 2003 mid engine NSX offers two distinct powerplants. The first is an all-aluminum 3.2-liter V-6 that produces 290 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The second is an all-aluminum, 3.0-liter V-6 that produces 252 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque mated to an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission with Formula One-inspired Sequential SportShift.
Both engines are normally aspirated and are equipped with dual overhead cams, 4 valves-per-cylinder, a Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTECTM) system, and a Variable Volume Induction system. They also feature Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) and a direct-ignition system that uses six individual coils, one mounted atop each spark plug, instead of a single coil for all six cylinders.
The chassis features all-aluminum construction for light weight. The 4-wheel, independent double-wishbone suspension features aluminum-alloy control arms and hub carriers front and rear to minimize unsprung weight for optimum handling.
Aluminum subframes for the suspension further reduce suspension mass. The braking system features large-diameter, ventilated 4-wheel discs and an advanced 4-channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). The sophisticated Traction Control System (TCS) has been designed to help limit wheel-spin and enhance control.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned While Getting My BFA
One of the issues raised again and again during #class was how much it cost to get an MFA, yet how little that education (unlike if you get a JD or MBA) guaranteed any promises of a certain level of income. Now, of course, there's chatter about PhD programs becoming the new baseline, but not much yet in the way of widespread offerings for such. It's certainly not an uncontroversial issue, given the record of return on investment. Moreover, as plenty of artists only have a BFA (not sure how they stack up against artists with MFAs successwise...anyone?), and a few I know of do quite well, I began to wonder : is there a parallel in being a good artist to being a good citizen? Can the case be made that all one really needs to know you can get from a BFA program.
Robert Fulghum outlined in his wildly popular book "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" the basic tenants of being a good citizen and a successful person that apply all the way through life and indeed beyond individuals into societies and up through nation states and multinational corporations. He admits that living well within these guidelines...applying these notions...remains quite a trick, but that we don't really need to understand many more concepts than:
Share everything.So I thought, in wondering how valuable post-graduate study is to becoming a successful studio artist, I'd see if the same idea applied? Are there things that you get in post-graduate courses you can't get by extrapolating the things you learned in a BFA program, in the context of being prepared for a career as a professional artist?
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Dont' take things that aren't yours.
Say your sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in to the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together
Wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or shy, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and eent he little seed in the Styrofoam cup---they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you leaned---the biggest word of all--LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your wold and it holds true and clear and firm.
It's tempting to take Fulghum's list and see whether that alone provides some answers here. After all, the biggest word of all --LOOK--certainly still applies. But to make this exercise more useful, I figured it's perhaps better to use the goals and lessons of a BFA course as the standard and extrapolate from there. It's a little tricky though, as many art schools state up front that their programs are designed "as a preparation for graduate study." Still, Kindergarten is also designed as preparation for grade school and beyond, yet we learn the basics of good citizenship there, so...let's venture forward. The following list is likely not complete (I'll ask that you fill in any obvious blanks or point out items that are not universal), but it's edited down from the stated guidelines of a popular BFA program.
- Understand the liberal arts context (understanding visual arts as it relates to other arts)
- Know your art history
- Expose yourself to interdisciplinary concepts and a wide range of media
- Understand art as an intellectual activity
- Learn about interaction between theory and practice
- Spend time in your studio
- Learn how to listen to (as well as offer) criticism
- Meet and learn from visiting artists
- Spending time learning about professional practices

Forgot to add the still photo from the video I took with a bow mounted camera; using a Playsport with an Insane Archery mount. He strutted right up to my DSD hen at 8 yds.
Thanks everyone. I really like hunting turkeys with a bow in the woods; I try to set up areas where they will come by within range, kind of like hunting funnels for deer. Oddly, I've had much better success since I slowed down and let the birds come to me when calling from the blind. I think I was blundering(and educating) too many birds while running and gunning.
These were both on private land but I do hunt some public, lots of State Land around here with oak forests. Spent 5 days on public land in Ohio, first two were rainy; callled in 2 birds but not close enough for the bow.
congrats, nice looking birds. outfitter or private land
That is awesome! Congrats on a great turkey season!
Big Congrads.....The only thing better then getting one with a bow is getting two with a bow...
Congrats on the two turkey's,as said before nice lookin area.................
Two more than I've ever gotten. Good shooting.

NC home offers haven to drug addicts, alcoholics
EAST BEND (AP) — The six-acre farm Randy and Paula Borton moved to in 2007 looks a lot like those belonging to their neighbors in eastern Yadkin County.
The living space inside the rambling, five-bedroom farmhouse is tidy and neatly kept. The kitchen is spacious, well-used and inviting; the adjacent dining room holds a large table more than adequate for feeding a large family.
Outside, the Bortons keep an assortment of animals — chickens, goats and alpacas (small llamas) — and a good-sized vegetable garden. The grass stays mowed and the flower beds weeded. Leaves, as soon as they fall, are blown into neat piles.
Picnic tables, a swing hanging from a large tree near the road and a hand-crafted sign announcing the name of the farm, Solus Christus, round out an idyllic scene worthy of a postcard.
There is one thing that distinguishes the Bortons' farm from others. They're not raising a family, not in the traditional sense. Nor are they terribly interested in growing crops.
They're trying to save the lost souls of drug addicts and alcoholics.
There was no one bolt of lightning, no road to Damascus moment that caused the Bortons to dedicate their lives to what some might think is a losing proposition.
Rather, it was a gradual process, a persistent calling that led them to plunk down $220,000 at a real-estate auction in 2007.
"Paula always had the heart for mission work," said Randy Borton, 60, one recent afternoon while sitting under a shade tree at Solus Christus. "Me, my heart was always after doing business. I wanted to build my kingdom here on earth."
And build he did. Randy Borton left his native Michigan in 1979, headed to Florida with $13,000 — his life's savings — and a plan to open a doughnut shop. A little more than three years later, he had six stores selling doughnuts and pizza to snowbirds.
"It just shows you how driven I was to succeed in business," he said. "I worked night and day to accomplish that."
He sold them in 1983, and decided the next year to move to Winston-Salem to be closer to Paula's relatives. They moved into in a seven-bedroom, four-bath home in the West End neighborhood, and Randy Borton set about looking for his next business opportunity. Eventually he decided to manufacture and market snack cakes, a business he still runs in Winston-Salem. "In my late 40s or early 50s, I started to feel God's pull in my heart," Randy Borton said. "I continued to live my life the way I had before but I knew my time was running out."
At some point, a verse from Matthew 13 caught his eye.
Making a decision
"The kingdom of heaven is life treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."
"Let me put it this way," he said. "I was not running in my joy to sell what I had."
But he was thinking. And that was a start.
About 10 years ago, Randy Borton made a decision. He would listen to that internal pull and do something different.
"I asked God to change my life so I didn't die with regrets," he said.
The next day, he says, he met a man on the street and struck up a conversation. The man was a cocaine addict; he'd been living in a rooming house for years, surrounded by others caught in the same cycle.
Randy Borton was touched by the man's persistence and offered him a room in his house in the West End to help remove him from temptation. Soon, a second man — this one a heroin addict looking for a place to stay until a spot opened in a rehabilitation center — moved in, too.
"I tell people that Noah built the ark and took in his charges two by two," he said. "At one point we had 20 sleeping on floors in our house."
For five years, the Bortons opened their home. They learned the ins and outs of the legal system, and learned much about the world of clinics and rehab centers. There is almost always a wait to get a bed in rehab; finding a serene, safe place to stay until then is difficult.
"If they want help, there is a short window of time to find it," said Paula Borton. "The wait can be three or four months."
Throughout the learning process, the Bortons figured out that women almost always have it tougher than men and that fewer resources targeted females with addiction problems.
At that point, the mission became clear. The Bortons needed to open a safe place for women who want help with their addictions and combine it with their deep Christian faith.
A bridge
"We wanted it to serve as a sort of bridge until we can find them a spot in a Christian rehab center," Paula Borton said.
The next step for the Bortons was expanding. They learned about the property in Yadkin County and decided to attend the auction in fall 2007.
"We showed up with the $220,000 figure in mind," Randy Borton said. "We got within $2,000 (at $218,000) and I said, 'This is my last bid."'
The Bortons offered the $220,000. No one matched, and the gavel came down. Sold to the couple from Winston-Salem.
What happened over the next few weeks defies conventional explanation. Paula Borton incorporated Solus Christus as a nonprofit and they started to work transforming the house and grounds.
Little by little, things started happening. Furnishings showed up. A 12-passenger van and a pickup truck were donated. Church groups started coming by to offer help; a new roof, front porch and a sidewalk were added. Fencing for the animals was built.
One afternoon while the Bortons were painting inside, a man pulled up in a large truck and started pouring a new gravel driveway.
"He said he'd been clean for 20 years and had heard about what we were doing," Randy Borton said. "We never asked for a thing. Everything we needed showed up in two weeks. It just happened."
The next summer, a group from Pinedale Christian Church in Winston-Salem came by to see what could be done. The members wound up constructing a 1,500-square foot activity building complete with offices, restrooms and meeting space.
All the while, the Bortons were taking in women seeking to help themselves. Soon their contacts in Christian rehab centers began referring women on their waiting lists. The project snowballed.
Since 2007, more than 450 women have come through Solus Christus.
While they're waiting for a place in rehab, the women at the farm do chores for three hours a day. They take classes taught by volunteers and study their Bibles. They support and encourage one another.
"Until I got here, I didn't have peace in my heart," said Sandra Butler, 45, a recovering alcoholic from Bladen County, who has since joined the staff. "This means everything to me. This ministry is my heart. When I saw how they'd given up their lives, I knew this was real."
In exchange, the Bortons ask that the women (or their loved ones) come up with $50 a week. But that's no deal-breaker; no one truly seeking help is turned away. Donations are always welcome, and the Bortons opened a thrift store by the same name in downtown Winston-Salem to help raise money to support the farm. There are still obstacles. Fuel and food are expensive. And the tranquility of the farm is occasionally broken by dust-ups caused by women burdened by the stress of detoxification and making wholesale changes to their lives.
But whatever the difficulties, the payoff is well worth it.
"To see the change in these women's lives is incredible," said Paula Borton.
"This is a wonderful thing to be part of," said Randy Borton, finishing the thought for his wife. "Christ is walking among the least of us, women who are dealing with the biggest struggle of their lives. God shows up fastest for them."

Guy Fieri strikes back at critic
New York Times review goes viral
Over the past two days, the now-infamous New York Times review of Guy Fieri's new 500 seat Times Square restaurant Guy's American Kitchen & Bar caught fire across the Twittersphere, blogs, morning shows and even David Letterman's Top 10, but the boisterous, spike-coiffed chef remained uncharacteristically silent, until now.
Fieri said in a statement released by his PR reps:
"I wholeheartedly disagree with The New York Times' Review of Guy's American Kitchen & Bar. My philosophy on life is what drives my attitude towards food. As a kid, I used to make four-course sushi meals for my parents and our family friends. I got hooked on food because I saw the way people reacted; the atmosphere around a family dinner, dining out with friends and family -- it was contagious."
"At my restaurants, we always try to live by a very simple notion: that food brings people together. I've learned that not everyone agrees with my style. The Times' critic, Pete Wells, clearly did not enjoy his experience. I normally do not respond to reviews or critics, however, given the tone of Pete's piece, it's clear to me that he went into my restaurant with his mind already made up. That's unfortunate. I take comments from patrons, fans and visitors very seriously, and if there is ever a problem with our service, I'll fix it."
"We've only been open a short while, but I've seen countless people come to my restaurant -- families, fans, tourists, and yes, even New Yorkers -- looking to get away for an hour or two, and they've had a great experience and a meal that they enjoyed. Like the hundreds of diners, drive-ins and dives I've featured on my show, I've incorporated my passion and love for food into my restaurants. I'm proud of the food we put out, and always will be."

I recently had a discussion with a friend about our love for meals in bowls. You can put any combination of ingredients in a bowl and make a delicious, healthy, filling meal (just like tacos and burritos!). For a long time I was hooked on the Greenie Tahini Bowl (recipe acquired from a blog no longer in existence called VegTriathlete), which consisted of brown rice, broccoli, kale, and pan-fried tofu with the most amazing tahini sauce. It was my go-to meal when I didn't feel like being adventurous in the kitchen. Since then, I have made/enjoyed an abundance of meals in bowls:
Thai Peanut Noodles with Stir-Fried Veggies from Voluptuous Vegan
Grilled Pineapple Tofu with Greens and Rice from Vegan Yum Yum
Original Yumm Bowl, customized from Cafe Yumm!
Carrot & Burdock Kinpira from The Kind Diet
Simple Rice Bowl from my kitchen
Kittee's Mac-n-Cheese with Kale Chips from Kittee
Southwest Bowl from Blossoming Lotus
Can you tell that I use the same white bowl (and lots of chopsticks) a lot?! I'm not one to stockpile a bunch of dishes in my kitchen, so the white bowl gets plenty of love.
What are your favorite meals in bowls?
P.S. I'm heading out of town in a few days for a very exciting job/project (!) so blogging may come to a slow trickle… More on that when I return :)

Public Safety Communications Advisory Commission (PSCC) annual report fiscal year 2009
|1 of 15
This page
JANICE K. BREWER GOVERNOR CHAD KIRKPATRICK DIRECTOR STATE OF ARIZONA GOVERNMENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AGENCY 100 N. 15th Avenue, Suite 440 Phoenix AZ 85007 Phone: (602) 364-4483 Fax: (602) 364-4799 Web: http://www.azgita.gov December 16, 2009 Honorable Jan Brewer Governor, State of Arizona 1700 West Washington Street Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Dear Governor Brewer: As Chairman of the Public Safety Communications Advisory Commission (PSCC), I am pleased to present our 2009 Annual Report covering Fiscal Year 2009 (FY2009: July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2009) pursuant to A.R.S. 41-3542. The PSCC works to ensure that Arizona's public safety personnel, at all levels of government and within non-governmental organizations, have access to quality interoperable communication systems, are adequately trained, and utilize such systems effectively in multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional incident response. In July 2008, the Legislature moved the PSCC to the Arizona Government Information Technology Agency from its prior home at the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The transition was completed on October 2, 2008. Following the transition, the Commission focused its efforts on a number of key areas, including assessing the current state of interoperable communications within the State; soliciting feedback and input in public forums from all major stakeholders and subject matter experts regarding the issues around interoperability; and re-framing the dialogue around progress and possible directions for the State in the context of the Arizona Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP). Based on those efforts, the PSCC approved a revised set of SCIP strategic initiatives on May 19, 2009. Attached you will find the 2009 SCIP Implementation Report. Submitted annually to the Federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Emergency Communications (OEC), the report is a summary of progress made against the State of Arizona's SCIP. The report details the efforts of the Commission in five key interoperability areas: Governance; Standard Operating Procedures; Technology; Training and Exercise; Usage and Outreach. The revised SCIP strategic initiatives can be found on page 18 of the report. This report, combined with the four quarterly reports submitted to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) covering FY2009, provide a comprehensive view of statewide interoperability as well as a roadmap for continuing to advance communications interoperability in Arizona. Governor Brewer December 16, 2009 Page 2 When our first responders can not talk to one another, lives and property are at risk. We will continue to tirelessly advance efforts in this important area for all Arizonans. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the people of Arizona in advancing public safety communications interoperability. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have. Sincerely, Chad Kirkpatrick Chairman, Public Safety Communications Advisory Commission (PSCC) State CIO & GITA Director Cc: Representative Kirk Adams, Speaker of the House Senator Robert "Bob" Burns, President of the Senate Ken Bennett, Secretary of State GladysAnn Wells, Director, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records Matt Morales, Director of Communications & Intergovernmental Affairs, GITA Lisa Dee Meyerson, Manager, PSIC Office, GITA

The BMC Racing Team put all of its efforts Friday into protecting Cadel Evans's second place on the general classification as the longest stage of this year's Giro d'Italia ended in a bunch sprint.
'A Great Job For Cadel'
That meant many of the 254 kilometers were spent riding in the wind, BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said. "It was not hard, but there was a strong wind all day," he said. "The race was nervous for the GC riders. I'm satisfied because the riders did a great job for Cadel. We saw Taylor Phinney, Daniel Oss, Danilo Wyss and Steve Cummings all day in the wind to keep Cadel in the front. For the final climb, it was Ivan Santaromita and Steve Morabito who stayed with him. For sure, they spent a lot of energy just to keep Cadel safe to the finish." With a pair of mountain-top finishes ahead this weekend, Evans is 41 seconds off the lead of Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team). Rigoberto Uran (Sky Procycling) is third, 2:04 behind. Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) earned his fourth stage win of the race by winning the field sprint ahead of Giacomo Nizzolo (RadioShack Leopard).

In 2008, during Barack Obama's first bid for president, turnout rates were strong nationwide, including Bartow County, which saw a 71.3 percent turnout — just 0.02 percent above that of Tuesday's election.
"This year, we had a 71.28 percent turnout. So we're talking almost exactly the same turnout as four years ago," said Bartow County Elections Supervisor Joseph Kirk. "For the turnout we had, it was a very smooth day. Any time you're dealing with that many people in one day, it's going to be a little problematic, but all in all it was a good day."
The Center Road voting precinct registered the highest turnout rate in Bartow this election cycle with 77.19 percent. Cartersville West, Pine Log and Taylorsville all came in close behind Center Road, each with a turnout in the 76 percent range.
Turnout was high at precincts across Bartow, with the county's lowest turnout rate for the general election seen in the Allatoona polling precinct with 65.46 percent. Turnout was not strong, however, for Emerson's special election. Emerson city residents were asked to go to the polls twice, once at their regular polling place for the general election ballot, which returned a 70.42 percent turnout, and again at Emerson City Hall for a vote on freeport tax exemption and alcohol sales. The Emerson special election drew only a 31.54 percent turnout.
Although turnout was relatively even throughout precincts, Kirk did note a trend of when people got out to vote. Those in precincts with higher populations, tended to have higher advance turnout and those with smaller populations tended to have higher day-of turnout.
"Overall, everyone was hitting fairly similar turnout numbers, mostly within 10 percent, but there was a difference between small precincts and large precincts in when they voted," Kirk said. "The interesting trend we noticed right off the bat [Wednesday] morning, is the larger the poll the higher their advance turnout and smaller the poll, the higher their day-of turnout."
Countywide, this year's election showed a higher day-of turnout than that of 2008, while 2008 saw a higher advance turnout. Kirk attributes this to a shortened advance-voting period. The early voting period in Georgia has been shortened since the 2008 election with the addition of a Saturday for early weekend voting.
"In 2008, we had 36 percent of the county in person before election day and about 4 and a half [percent] in the mail before election day. This time, we had 28 percent vote in person before election day, only 3 percent through the mail and hit almost a 40 percent turnout on election day at the polls," Kirk said.
For information on election day results, including votes by precinct, visit www.sos.georgia.gov, click on the Georgia Elections Results link in the center of the page and follow the link below the tutorial video on the next page.
All results are unofficial and incomplete until the Bartow County Board of Elections verifies results Friday at 5:05 p.m. at 10 Elizabeth St. in Cartersville. The verification process is open to the public.
