Crazy Vaclav: She'll do 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.It was cheap, it was easy to buy, or the only thing you could afford. Charitably, it can be called a car. Unfortunately, it tops out at about 40 miles per hour (45 if you're going downhill), it breaks down a lot, you get parking tickets while in motion and you probably have to special-order replacement parts since you're the only one around who was sucker enough to buy one and the dealer, manufacturer, or country it came from is no longer in business. The only parts that aren't about to fall off are the ones firmly rusted in place. Often it bears some kind of cute or derogatory nickname. Sometimes, a car like this is referred to as a Rolls-Canardley: rolls down one hill, can 'ardly get up the next, and that ticket you got for "attempted speeding" still rankles. The polar opposite of the Cool Car. Often found in Injun Country and Ruritanias, or in the parking lot of Honest John's Dealership. Expect My Car Hates Me to happen a lot. While this can be Truth in Television, it's largely the ghost of tropes past: it plays off old pre -1980's notions of notoriously unreliable used cars and low-quality imports that tend not to be true today. Back then owning a car built in a foreign country could be a joke in and of itself and anyone buying a used car was understood to either be barely above poverty or a major cheapskate. Lemon Laws and lawsuits have since driven most of the truly decrepit jalopies out of the market. Also worth noting, cars that degrade to the state of disrepair often depicted in an Alleged Car would simply not be street-legal in any modern industrial country with an established vehicle safety code. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't people who still drive them anyway, and, as anyone who has owned one can tell you, there are plenty of shady garages that will happily slap an inspection sticker on any old piece of junk or even just sell you the sticker outright, "twenty dollars with an inspection or fifty dollars without one" as the old joke goes. Paradoxically, in both fiction and sometimes in real life, a person who operates any such alleged vehicle for any length of time can often become quite emotionally attached to it. Sometimes a person gets in touch with all the car's little quirks, such that only s/he can keep the heap running. Other times, it's just Stockholm Syndrome. But hey, anybody can drive a new car: keeping one of these babies running requires talent! Ironically, this trope was codified by none other than the Ford Model T. Yes, the very car that put the world on wheels was considered obsolete and faintly ridiculous by the height of the silent film era and quickly became the Alleged Car in the hands of comedians like the Keystone Kops, Harold Lloyd, and Laurel and Hardy. They were cheap, disposable, intrinsically funny, and ironically enough the quirky brake, throttle, and transmission controls that made them seem so obsolete just happened to make them excellent stunt cars. note If it's a horse or a computer that gets this treatment, then you're respectively dealing with either The Alleged Steed or The Alleged Computer. If the car looks like this but is secretly a Cool Car, see What a Piece of Junk. A Chronically Crashed Car may become one of these if it gets repaired one too many times. Either this or a bicycle will be part of a Real Vehicle Reveal. Real Life examples have their own page.
Homer: (fiddling with Cyrillic gear display) What country is this car from?
Vaclav: It no longer exists, but take her for a test drive and you'll agree: Zagreverbdnem zlotig dief. (push-starts the car) Put it in "H!"

Starting pitcher Mark Mulder has been out of Major League Baseball since the 2008 season, but that changed Wednesday night when the Anaheim Angels signed the veteran arm to a one-year deal.
Mulder had worked out for multiple teams and reportedly looked very good – though his inability to stay healthy likely forced many teams to shy away.
Not the Angels though, who offered up a deal worth $6 million dollars – assuming incentives are met:
Mulder agreed to minor league deal with angels. Can make 1 mill guarantee on Ml deal and up to 6 mill in incentives
Of course, the likelihood of Mulder reaching such incentives are unlikely, despite the numbers not being released. It's likely the deal includes multiple caveats, something like 200+ innings, 15 wins, etc. Obtainable statistics in theory but extremely unlikely in reality.
The base deal, which will pay Mulder one million dollars in guaranteed money is a drop in the bucket to the Angels, who will most certainly get their money out of the veteran starter. He is expected to slide into their starting rotation.

Clearlake Oaks"
Clearlake Oaks In The News
Clearlake Oaks has been in the news lately and you can read a selection of
the stories below.
Progress in the Oaks community
By Denise Rockenstein
A progress update on the Lake County Community Recovery
Task Force (CRTF) was provided to the public on Wednesday at the Clearlake
Oaks Moose Lodge. Leading agents were on hand to offer information about
the project as well as provide statistics resulting directly from the
implementation of the task force.
CRTF is an innovative new program that combines the
efforts of several county agencies as they work together to enforce laws
and increase public safety in various Lake County communities.
The program is county-funded and will continue over a two-year span with
the initial "pilot" project covering the greater Clearlake Oaks area from
Spring Valley to Glenhaven.
The CRTF combines the efforts of the Lake County Sheriff's Department,
Animal Care and Control, Code Enforcement and Probation. The program also
receives assistance from the California Highway Patrol, Lake County
Narcotics Task Force and Lake County Department of Social Services.
All agencies involved with the CRTF work together to promote a team
approach to solving community problems with the ultimate goal of
generating community pride and improving economic growth and development.
"It's a pretty unique project; I don't know of any other counties doing
the same," said CRTF Coordinator Sheriff's Sgt. Rob Howe. "We started this
thing the beginning of the year, January. But to actually get things off
the ground, get the man power, it took a few months."
Howe reported that since January, more than 100 arrests have been made,
stemming from minor citations all the way to felony drug possession
arrests. More than 20 citations have been issued for such offenses as
traffic violations while approximately 100 probation searches have been
conducted. "These guys are out there contacting the probationers," he
said, adding that more than 150 probation code caseload contacts have been
made as well.
Probation Officer Dean Thornquist later reiterated the success of the task
force from his standpoint. "Rest assure that the people here, the Oaks,
Spring Valley, Glenhaven, are basically on intensive supervision. The
program has really intensified what probation does.
"As a general rule, a person on probation is required to be seen once a
month." he explained. "In this area, because of this task force, everybody
is probably being seen here at least twice a week."
According to Thornquist, there are more than 1,000 adults in Lake County
currently on probation, 28 of which reside in the Oaks. Juvenile
probationers total 450 countywide with 15 on informal probation and 10 on
formal living in Clearlake Oaks.
"When we first started in January, we averaged nine (probation) arrests a
month for warrants, violation of probation. And now, actually because of
the compliance with probationers, I'm lucky to get an arrest in any given
month which is a good thing. That's what we want from intensive
supervision probation," Thornquist concluded.
Sgt. Howe also reported that Animal Care and Control has issued 20
citations; Lake County Code Enforcement has tagged more than 80 vehicles,
40 of which have actually been removed. Code Enforcement has also
red-tagged 13 homes and has conducted well more than 500 site visits.
"(We've had) a couple of demolishes which is not something we're really
shooting for," Howe continued. "No one wants to take someone's house
unless it's a serious safety issue and it has to be done, and sometimes it
Code Enforcement Officer Allison Garrett was also on hand to field
questions from the public. She began with an overview explaining the
lengthy process of abatement and the workload of the area. "Before I got
on the Task Force I had 286 cases in Clearlake Oaks, Spring Valley and
Glenhaven," she said. "That's a big case load for one person. Now I get to
concentrate on the Task Force issues and work with them. And with the Task
Force, it seems that things get done a lot quicker."
Also on hand were Sheriff Deputy Ed Bean as well as Deputy Jim Samples,
representing the Lake County Narcotics Task Force. Bean introduced himself
and described his position on the CRTF as a proactive enforcement agent
while Samples gave specific examples of crime activity in the area. "There
are a lot of different aspects we deal with besides drugs," said Samples,
citing his involvement in a recent murder case conviction.
The CRTF is a "pilot" project that will operate in a two-year span prior
to being brought back before the Lake County Board of Supervisors for
analysis. "We'll be looking at everything collectively with the community
to see if it works," said county administrator Kelly Cox from his seat in
the audience.
Third District Supervisor Gary Lewis, who represents the Clearlake Oaks,
Spring Valley and Glenhaven areas, was also present for the meeting. Lewis
said if the project is successful, he would like to see it introduced to
all communities in Lake County.
It is suspected that the CRTF will transform into a mobile unit operating
in other areas of the county in need of attention, after the initial
Clearlake Oaks project ends in 2005
Oaks residents discuss site for community park
By Denise Rockenstein
Residents of Clearlake Oaks gathered at the Eastlake Grange hall on
Thursday, Oct. 14 to discuss a possible site for a community park. A
12-acre parcel located near Orchard Shores is obtainable and could be the
ideal site the community has been looking for.
Third District Supervisor Gary Lewis and Lake County Administrator Kelly
Cox were on hand to field questions and receive citizen input on the
potential park site.
"We have an individual that has a big piece of property who would like to
offer part of that property to Lake County for a park," explained Lewis
beginning the meeting. "Before we decide to do that, it was necessary to
come to you and say Is this where you would like to see a park built?"'
Ideally, the park will consist of a ball field, soccer field, benches and
other standard park amenities such as playground equipment and drinking
fountains. In order to accommodate such requests, the County of Lake has
been searching for land between eight to 10 acres.
"I want you to know it's been tough finding acreage," said Cox. "There is
just not a lot of acreage around here for a large-scale park."
Cox indicated that the county is still looking at an area near Red & White
grocery store on Highway 20 for use as a town center-type of park. Cox
reported that the project, which is being conducted under a separate
source of funding, is continuing and that the funds are still secured. "We
are still working with Mr. Nylander and he is considering selling it to
(Lake County) for a downtown, town center- type of park. But we also
needed a park with acreage, which is what was promised to the community
several years ago."
The land proposed to the residents for a community park is situated on a
32-acre parcel that is currently on the market. The area stands as a
walnut orchard at present and does not house any native vegetation. The
land is flat and has sewer and potable water lines running through it. It
also has three-phase power as well as a 500-gallon per minute well.
"I don't know of any other options that are so perfect for a park," said
Richard Kuehn, the developer considering purchase of the property who in
turn has offered to sell the 12 acres to the county.
The most notable concerns cited during the meeting included accessibility
to the park and impact that would be absorbed by residents of Orchard
Shores. Several residents voiced a concern for noise generated by visitors
to the park that could disturb a residential area made up primarily of
retired, elderly people. However, a lady who recently purchased a home in
Orchard Shores stated that it was never disclosed as a retirement
community and she and her young family would love to have a park in the
Another resident of Orchard Shores also voiced her support of a park near
the residential community. "Sometimes you have to compromise," said Sabina
Hue De Laroque. "The park will be there for my children and my
grandchildren and I think it is our responsibility to pave the way for
Other concerns included safety and security, park hours and use, and law
enforcement patrol.
"If we have certain provisions in place and it's done properly, this could
be such a boom to our community and something we could be so proud of,"
said Margaret Medeiros, who is an active community member. "I think it's
terrible we don't have Little league here; we don't have soccer. We've got
kids. We need a place to do it. We need this very badly.
Lewis indicated, closing the meeting, that the county will continue to
pursue this option given the support received. He further informed the
group that the county will be looking to the community prior to
construction. The county will seek input for design and amenities to be
included in the park's development.
Oaks residents to meet to discuss Housing Element
By Staff Reports
CLEARLAKE OAKS Residents of this lakeside community will meet next week to
discuss their concerns regarding the county's new Housing Element and its
possible impacts on Clearlake Oaks. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, Aug. 25 at the Clearlake Oaks Grange, located at the corner of
Highway 20 and High Valley Road.
At a public hearing on Aug. 3, the Lake County Board of Supervisors
discussed and approved a new Housing Element which includes potential
sites for low and low-low income housing.
A total of 972 units have been designated for Clearlake Oaks, with 891 of
those units slated for two empty parcels located between the Clearlake
Oaks Keys/Old Keys Landing Building and Shoreline Realty/Orchard Shores on
Highway 20.
The need for affordable housing in Lake County is critical, but some
residents believe the density of the proposed units for Clearlake Oaks at
up to 19 units per acre would have a detrimental impact on the community.
While the population of Clearlake Oaks comprises roughly 5 percent of the
county, over 50 percent of the low and low-low income units have been
designated for Clearlake Oaks, which could potentially double its
Currently the Housing Element is with the California Department of Housing
for final approval. If approved, this becomes part of the General Plan and
would be very difficult to change in the future.
While Clearlake Oaks needs to shoulder its share of affordable housing,
residents believe that it should be equitably spread throughout the
county. Currently there are no building plans to start a project there,
but there could be in the future.
Residents are encouraged to attend this important community meeting to
voice their concerns. Supervisor Gary Lewis and a member of the Planning
Department will be available to answer questions.
A copy of the final Housing Element sent to the State is available at the
Clearlake Oaks Senior Center, the Planning Department, and online at
www.rummaging.com/lakecounty. For more information e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

County accepts updated housing element
Elizabeth Larson - Record-Bee staff
LAKE COUNTY The board of supervisors last week accepted an update of the
county's housing element, but critics said the document doesn't make
provisions to ensure for the necessary ratio of affordable and
handicap-accessible housing.
Per state law, the county needs to assess its housing needs and inventory
of restraints, which is the purpose the housing element serves. Among its
requirements, the element must analyze the population and employment
trends of an area; look at special housing needs; document and analyze
household characteristics; and look at opportunities for energy
conservation in residential development.
The last housing element for Lake County dates from 1995.
Larry Mintier of Mintier and Associates the consultants who have worked on
the element with the county for a year and a half joined Rick Coel of the
Planning Department to discuss the plan with the board.
The revised element has gone through several rounds of review, said
Mintier. It includes a discussion of what was learned from 1995's housing
element; identifies sites or zones where permanent and seasonal farmworker
housing is allowed; and considers potential governmental restraints on
development for people with disabilities.
"We feel really good about this housing element," said Mintier.
Santa Rosa-based attorney David Grabill submitted a letter to the board
that morning that was greeted with annoyance by Board Chair Rob Brown, who
felt the letter wasn't submitted with enough time to let the board
consider the concerns it outlined.
Grabill, who said in his letter that he represents several farmworkers who
live in Lake County, stated he believes the updated housing element does
not comply with state requirements, and added, "The county has a poor
record in meeting its regional need for lower income housing over the past
According to Grabill, the draft element is "ambiguous about how many units
affordable to lower income households were actually built in the
unincorporated areas of Lake County during the previous planning period."
During the portion of the meeting devoted to a public hearing about the
element, Lakeport attorney Andy Rossoff spoke extensively about his
concerns regarding the document.
Rossoff is an advocate for seniors and the disabled through his work for
the Senior Law Project and Legal Services of Northern California. He also
works with Clearlake Housing Now, a housing advocacy organization whose
mission is to improve housing possibilities for the disabled.
Rossoff defended the letter from Grabill, who he said is a colleague of
Rossoff also said said he felt the public hasn't been actively brought
into the process of updating the element.
And the process itself, Rossoff suggested, has been "unfathomable."
The element is suppose to analyze the previous element's success or
failure, said Rossoff. "I can't tell from the new draft housing element
just how we did over the last nine years," he said.
"Over the last nine years, the need for affordable housing in this county,
I think, has reached crisis level," said Rossoff.
That need, he said, affects seniors, farmworkers, the disabled and
low-income residents.
Rossoff said measurable standards needed to be inserted into the housing
element to go with the policies stating support for affordable housing.
But Brown said the private sector is responsible for actually creating
affordable housing, "Not us."
"There's only so much that can be done by us," he said.
Brown pressed Rossoff for examples of measurable goals. In turn, Rossoff
suggested counting how many homes are accessible for the disabled.
But Brown questioned the value of those numbers. "You can't force people
to make their homes handicap accessible," said Brown.
"You can educate people," replied Rossoff. "Common sense doesn't fit into
this discussion too often."
Rossoff also suggested the county give incentives to developers who met
the goals of making homes handicap accessible.
Brown said he understood where Rossoff was coming from, but "warm and
fuzzy goals" don't accomplish anything, he said.
As the discussion progressed, Rossoff also stated that he perceived a
"lack of reality" relating to plans to expand the low-income housing
As an example, he cited plans for 972 low-income housing units to be built
in Clearlake Oaks,
"Is that appropriate?" he asked, pointing to concerns of density and
resources. "Is that suitable planning for the county?"
If a developer were to propose the plan, "is there any possible reality
for that being approved?" Rossoff asked.
Brown agreed the plan had problems.
Rossoff asked the board not to approve the element at this point in the
process, citing the many flaws he believes the document possesses. He said
he understood the board's desire to get things done, but "it's important
to get it right," he said, adding, "getting it approved is not necessarily
getting it right."
To that he added a concern that the document could be legally challenged
if it's not correct.
Supervisor Anthony Farrington asked Rossoff about setting target goals for
meeting housing needs.
"I would like to set the numbers at the need level," said Rossoff.
"This housing element is a guide, the way I look at it," said Supervisor
Gary Lewis, adding that he thinks "it's a good plan."
The board eventually approved the document 5-0.
With the county's approval secured, the housing element will go to the
state for a final 90-day review process, said Mintier.
Southern Comfort Band appears at chili
Attendees at the Clearlake Oaks Community Support

County Wines Featured In Mercury News
25, 2003 - A story about Lake county and the
wines produced here were featured in the San Jose Mercury News recently.
You can read the story on the Mercury News site by clicking here.
To Start Community Patrol Soon
26, 2003 - The Clearlake Oaks Community Service Network
(CLOCSN) will be starting community patrol soon.

Laroque. "We are trying to get it ready, fixing the logo and the lights. After that, we will start patrolling."
Aggressive plan for marketing, economic growth
15, 2003 - The county has appropriated close to $4 million for its marketing and economic development program in the new fiscal year.
This amount represents a significant increase over the $2.4 million used for those programs in fiscal year 2002/03.
Vibrant Vision For The Community
8, 2003 - In almost every community, there is a downtown where most people gather. In Clearlake Oaks, residents there would tell you it is the Clearlake Oaks Town Plaza.
But don't be mistaken; it is not a shopping mall. It is a big parking lot surrounded by homes on three sides and the Clearlake Oaks United Methodist Church on the fourth.
Oaks Gets Ready To Go
17, 2003 - Close to 120 people from Clearlake Oaks gathered at that northshore community's first town hall meeting to see how they can improve the image of their area.

'Hell on Wheels' Season 3 Spoilers: First Six Episode Descriptions Released
It's been a good long while since we've heard anything concrete from AMC period drama 'Hell on Wheels,' which since overcame its behind-the-scenes struggles to begin production, but most recently endured a minor setback due to flooding on the Canadian set. The premiere has since been moved to Saturday, Aug. 10, so what spoilers from the new season have we already gleamed in the first six episode descriptions?
The first two episodes, "Big Bad Wolf" and "Eminent Domain," appear to double up on the same description, which likely suggests a two-hour premiere for the Aug. 10 debut. Meanwhile, it looks like Cullen (Anson Mount) and Elam (Common) will be spending plenty of time together across the first six episodes, while Durant encounters his own obstacles in getting the railway built.
From SpoilerTV:
Episode 3.01 – Big Bad Wolf
Cullen and Elam secure their railroad positions in New York; Durant fights for his legacy from prison
Episode 3.02 – Eminent Domain
Cullen and Elam secure their railroad positions in New York; Durant fights for his legacy from prison.
Episode 3.03 – Range War
Cullen and Elam search for their stolen food on the prairie; a stranger's arrival threatens Elam's family.
Episode 3.04 – The Game
Cullen and Elam try to secure a new lumber source following a railroad accident; Durant tells Louise a secret about Cullen.
Episode 3.05 – Searchers
Cullen helps Elam track down a dangerous criminal; the town prepares to move down the tracks.
Episode 3.06 – One Less Mule
Durant files an injunction against Union Pacific, threatening Cullen's position; Elam deals with a dangerous newcomer.
Little has been revealed of the third season of 'Hell on Wheels,' other than a meaty new role for 'The Following' star Jennifer Ferrin, and the fact that Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) will leave behind his mission of revenge to focus on the railroad expansion. President Ulysses S. Grant has been said to appear as a recurring character, but no actor has yet been announced to take the role.
Well, what say you? Are you excited for the debut of 'Hell on Wheels' season 3, even if AMC airs the drama on Saturdays? What do you hope to see from the new season of the Western drama?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Officials say a number of mostly elderly residents have been stranded inside the Maley Apartments on Daytona Beach because of broken elevators.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://thesent.nl/PfLS2n ) reports the 13-floor building run by the Daytona Beach Housing Authority houses 150 apartments. Residents say the elevators have been out since Friday, when a storm from the passing Hurricane Sandy hit the area.
Jesse Jane Marsden told the newspaper that she's been stuck in her 11th floor apartment all weekend. She says she's disabled due to severe varicose veins in her legs. She's had to rely on a neighbor to take her 15-year-old Chihuahua down the stairs to be walked.
Residents received letters apologizing for any inconvenience and promising that the elevators would be repaired on Monday.

I don't remember what I said out loud, but
He replied, "I'm down with that."
He's reading The Hobbit.
A book I always found too dense
With history.
He likes it like one of those
War documentaries he always plays but I
Never watch.
The novel,
With its cover's corners pulled apart,
Revealing its paper white insides like,
An eye looking up,
Exhales in time with his slow blinks.
The page turns.
He wears his shoes in bed.
That's why I sit in the chair.

MEDINA, Ohio – The people were hot, the animals were hot and the bidding was hot during the 2007 Medina County Junior Fair Livestock Auction.
Contributing Writer The name of Ohio's farmland preservation program, the Ohio Agricultural Easement Purchase Program, is very misleading and often keeps farm families from even considering the benefits.
Editor's note: This is the second installment in our four-part look at Ohio's farmland preservation efforts.
MARSHALLVILLE, Ohio – The annual Wayne County Dairy Tour July 10 was hosted at L & R Farm near Marshallville.
(Editor's note: This week, we begin a four-part look at Ohio's farmland preservation efforts.) Each year in the United States, more than 1 million acres of land are converted from agriculture to other uses – never to be reclaimed.
Many people, when they finish their day's work, like to kick off their shoes, stretch out in front of the TV and relax.
NEWBURG, Pa. – After a few disappointments in other farm ventures, Sandra Miller and her partner, Ralph Jones, are developing a successful meat goat operation.
SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Barry and Linda Singley or Bearlin Acres Farm opened their farm June 20 for a Pennsylvania Association of Sustainable Agriculture field day.
SALEM, Ohio – Synergy is the best way to describe the strategy behind the fledgling National Association of Spotted Haflingers breeding program and registry.
CANFIELD, Ohio – The smell of fresh hay mingled with the humid early summer air as drivers hooked driving harnesses to their young horses in preparation of tackling the half-mile dirt track of the Canfield Fairgrounds.
JAMESTOWN, Pa. – In 1987, high school teacher Richard "Rick" Feicht decided that after six years of announcing tractor pulls for the Pennsylvania Tractor Pullers Association, he would strike out on his own and create an independent pulling company.
NEW ORLEANS – This is the story of a rose. A nameless rose. A rose that has no thorns – not one. It came to Peggy Martin as a little cutting from a friend, who had gotten a cutting from a relative, who had in turn gotten it from another relative.
ASHLAND, Ohio – Cold, raining and muddy. It was not a good day for farming. But the atmosphere was warm and cheerful for those attending the first Women in Agriculture Conference, hosted March 23 by OSU Extension in Ashland County.
NEWBURY, Ohio – Paul Taylor has found his niche. It's in his pants. Founder and self-proclaimed "Head Monkey" of Arborwear, Taylor, 37, leads a staff of seven to imagine, research, design, test and market a fairly new line of outdoor clothing best known for its trousers.
HOWARD, Ohio – Most of my Amish neighbors have icehouses constructed of 24-by-48 inch pieces of Styrofoam 16 feet long.
HUDSON, Ohio – Hundreds of area maple syrup producers will fire up their sugar houses in the next week and process tanks of maple sap.
BURTON, Ohio – When there is little to do except plow snow, fix equipment or work on income taxes, the sugar bush beckons.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Farmers sharing insights on their successes have become hallmarks of the annual Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture conference.
WOOSTER, Ohio – Melissa Arko and Neil Topovski were recently recognized by the Wayne Soil and Water Conservation District for their efforts in introducing science and conservation to students at Parkview Elementary School in the Wooster City School District.
LOUDONVILLE, Ohio – The air was crisp and the bids were hot during the 2006 Loudonville Livestock Club Auction held in conjunction with the Loudonville Street Fair, Oct.

Believe it or not, I haven't always found the country beautiful.
click image to zoomModern Farm WifeModern Farm Wife blogger Jessica Folkema and her husband, "Dairy Man." The wide open spaces of this place used to make me feel twinges of agoraphobia (the opposite of claustrophobic). I feared the wide open spaces.
I still remember my first few drives out to Smalltown to visit the Dairy Man when we were dating. I would feel twinges of panic as sidewalks and Starbucks were replaced by cornfields and endless country roads. The openness crushed me. I felt unmoored and lost.
While DM marveled at a beautiful starry sky, I couldn't stop looking around for streetlights.
Modern Farm Wife
It was like being on an alien planet a million miles from earth. But instead of extraterrestrial life, I was surrounded by cows and F-150s.
I desperately missed the city. I felt most at home when surrounded by tall buildings, a crush of humanity, and the perpetual cacophony of traffic. I preferred my experiences with nature to be within walking distance of a tapas restaurant or the John Hancock Center.
Modern Farm Wife
I'm still getting used to life out in the boonies. The difference three years makes, however, is that I'm starting to see the beauty.
We had a brief thunderstorm this week. After the noise (including the incessant whining of one very high-strung border collie) died down and the rain puttered out, I took a look out our front window and my breath caught in my throat.
Modern Farm Wife
Let's face it, people. Skies like this don't happen very often between apartment buildings.
Modern Farm Wife
I finally appreciate the beauty of this rural wilderness. Here, I can be quiet, deliberate, and still. With skies this big, it's impossible not to feel closer to heaven.
I miss the bustle of the urban jungle, but this country is home.

Vanderbilt Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy presents "Promoting Professionalism: Addressing Behaviors that Undermine a Culture of Safety, Reliability and Accountability"
Leaders of health care institutions often do not have training in, or strategies for, dealing with disruptive behavior. Without the proper tools, health care professionals seemingly tolerate a certain amount of unprofessional behavior in their institutions, threatening quality of care and patient safety, affecting staff morale, and increasing cost burdens. This program will give medical center leaders the needed tools and strategies to address disruptive conduct, providing a comprehensive plan adaptable to all healthcare organizations.

Feral hogs are also rampant throughout Texas. They're mean and nasty and quite destructive to farms and ranches. Local ranchers shoot and trap them regularly to keep their numbers down.

Listen to the band play "Fall in Line" (Suffrage March) composed by Zena S. Hawn. This tune was at the top of the program at a special tea held on February 9, 1915 to celebrate the birthdays of Susan B. Anthony and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. My grandmother was one of about 30 women on the planning committee for the event at the Hotel Biltmore in New York City. I used the 1915 program as a guide for planning a Susan B. Anthony party in Santa Fe during February. Birthday parties and elegant teas in honor of suffrage leaders were common during the women's suffrage movement, and we're falling in line by carrying on the tradition. Celebrate Women's History Month by having a party with your friends and organization. A teapot, some tea and cookies. That's all it takes. If you're looking for a program, rent "Not For Ourselves Alone" which is about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It's also available on Netflix instant play. Screen it in advance. Roll out the tea and sweets and have a great time!

CINCINNATI – An Arizona man who alleges he was sexually abused by his Boy Scout leader on a vacation to southwest Ohio years ago has filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America, accusing the organization of negligence and fraud.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Lebanon, alleges 24-year-old Thomas Abner's scout leader abused him on a trip with the boy and his family to the Warren County area north of Cincinnati when Abner was about 11.
The lawsuit alleges the former scout leader, Steven Woodard, sexually abused the former Indiana resident multiple times in Warren County and other locations.
Woodard, who was convicted in 2002 of molesting three brothers, two of whom had been members of Woodard's scout troop in Delaware County, died in 2005.
The Associated Press generally doesn't identify people who allege they were sexually abused, but Abner's lawyer, Konrad Kircher, said his client agreed to go public with the allegations.
The Boy Scouts knew or should have known that Woodard was spending substantial time alone with Abner and his family outside of scouting, the suit said. It also alleges the organization negligently failed to discipline Woodard or warn Abner and his mother of the risk of molestation.
The lawsuit said Abner and his family would not have allowed Woodard into their lives if the Boy Scouts had not failed to disclose that scout leaders had posed a known danger to scouts for over eight decades.
Deron Smith, a spokesman for the Irving, Texas-based organization, said in an email that Boy Scouts of America officials hadn't seen the lawsuit, but deeply regret that there have been times when scouts were abused, and for that we are very sorry and extend our deepest sympathies to the victims.
The lawsuit said Abner suffered severe emotional injuries and will continue to suffer, including lost earning capability and medical expenses. The lawsuit seeks more than $25,000 in compensatory damages.

Rocky Spin-off Creed In The Works.
- Written by Juan Cena on Wednesday, July 24 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Yahoo
Who's ready for another Rocky sequel? Well, too bad, because MGM is working on a deal to produce one anyway; and yes, Sylvester Stallone will be in it as Rocky Balboa. Though it's actually more of a spin-off, and Stallone won't be fighting in the ring. "Rocky" isn't planned to be in the title of the film, either, as it focuses on the grandson of Apollo Creed.
Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler is getting the nod from MGM for Creed, a film where Rocky Balboa is asked by the grandson of his late rival-turned-friend Apollo Creed to train him for the boxing ring. The unnamed grandson (whom is in negotiations to be played by Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan) comes from a wealthy background (as Apollo apparently managed his money better than most real-life boxers), but wants to follow in the footsteps of his granddad. His family isn't too happy with his dreams of the squared circle, though.
Creed is reportedly described as being a "dream project" of Codger, who came up with the film's concept. He was able to sell the idea to Stallone, who is busy developing a Rocky musical on Broadway (be afraid, be very afraid). Given the fact that Fruitvale Station has garnered a lot critical raves, along with the Sundance Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize, makes the project more intriguing and less eye-rolling than it probably would have done otherwise.

I have been kinda busy lately getting this all together but i i fell as if i should keep you informed, basically something else to read instead of working (quick look was that your boss you just heard clearing his throat?)
A long few months of reading, research, and several hundred newbie questions later i have come to this point. I finally bought my first bolt action.
I went with the Savage BVSS w/accutrigger in .223 26 heavy free floated fluted barrel. rate of twist? not exactly sure the website and almost all somewhat credible info on the web says 1in9 but when i bought it i decided to be a dick and ask the box store gun shop guy what the rate of twist was, and he looked it up by part number and he said 1in7 so now im a little confused but more on that later. O price 850 out of the door i know i got a little screwed but what the hell its only money.
For optics i went with the Bushnell 4200 series elite in 6-24X40 with the mil dot reticle. 24 may be a bit much but o well ill use it as a spotting scope at the range.
Im having a guy put it all together on Thursday ill try and get some pics up Friday. a bipod is soon to follow.
Now all i need to do is buy some reloading equipment figure out how to use it, and start my long gradual decay into gun lunacy.
But seriously any suggestions on how to figure out my rate of twist would be helpful, as would favorite heavy 223 loads.
Thanks Dudes and possibly samples

All barrels are different but generally with a fast twist of 1:7 through 1:9" you should get good accuracy with 69gr. Sierra BTHP Matchking bullets. The 75 gr. bullets are used for long range competitions in AR's but must be loaded singly due to their OAL. You shouldn't have this problem with the Savage.
1/9 with a 26"er? Heavies should be good to go. The proof is in the pudding though. That is the best part of handloading, experimentation. Play with it and find out what it likes.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
62 gr & up SHOULD prove to be winning weight in regards to accuracy with 1-9.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!

'Wish I Was Here' Trailer: Zach Braff Is Back and He Brought The Shins With Him
The 'Wish I Was Here' trailer arrives approximately one decade since Zach Braff's feature directorial debut, 'Garden State,' and, for better or worse, it looks like time hasn't changed him very much. Braff's second effort looks very much like a spiritual sequel to his previous film, all the way down to the indie rock soundtrack.
Although plenty of critics and movie fans took Braff to task for his sentimentality, there's definitely an audience for 'Wish I Was Here,' which was partially funded as part of a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. People like Braff and they apparently want to see him in another movie where he listens to The Shins, ponders what he's doing with his life and hangs out with a really strong supporting cast (including Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad and former 'Scrubs' co-star Donald Faison).
And you know what? More power to him. The 'Wish I Was Here' trailer sells the film's hip, slightly off-kilter tone more than its plot (which includes fantasy sequences set in a sci-fi universe) and it will surely please those already initiated into the Braff cult. The rest of us will tread with a little more caution.
Here's the official synopsis:
Director Zach Braff's follow-up to his indie breakout hit 'Garden State' is a comedy telling the story of a thirtysomething man who finds himself at major crossroads, which forces him to examine his life, his career, and his family.
'Wish I Was Here' is slated to arrive in theaters on July 25.

Ask AfterEllen.com (May 5, 2009)
Question: Can you answer the following questions about A Woman of No Importance?
When will filming begin? Will it be delayed due to the death of Natasha Richardson? (Her husband, Liam Neeson, stopped filming Chloe, so there will be a delay. But Amanda Seyfried first has to finish Chloe, before she can take part in A Woman of No Importance.) Will it really be filmed in Australia?
― Susanne, Hannover, Germany
Amanda Seyfried
Answer: It sounds like you already know more about this movie than I do!
Director Atom Egoyan told WENN.com that Neeson returned to the set of Chloe soon after his wife's death and finished his work on the film (which is now listed as being in post-production on IMDB.com).
As far as A Woman of No Importance is concerned, it's currently listed as being in pre-production on IMDB, which also reports that the shooting locations will include Australia and the U.S. (specifically, New Orleans, LA). So far, there is no official word on when shooting might begin.
Seyfried will co-star along with Annette Bening in this updated version of Oscar Wilde's "class comedy, playing a young woman who falls victim to the mischievous games of a group of upper-crust members of British society." The release date for the film is still listed as "2009," but considering the fact that we're almost halfway through the year and they're still in pre-production, that date may change.
If you're in a hurry to get a Seyfried fix, Jennifer's Body (written by Diablo Cody and co-starring Megan Fox) is in post-production and currently slated for a September 19, 2009 release.

There's a lot of transition going on in my life right now, and it's putting me in an "in between" place that can be hard to get out of. When in between, it can be hard to move from what's ending to something new. It's actually a bit of a frustrating space for me since I prefer to be "doing", but at the same time, I find it hard to kick myself into gear to actually DO anything.
It's annoying on so many levels.
Some of the transitions I'm dealing with right now are actually a bit more disruptive than usual. My son is done with school and now needs me to find ways other than TV to keep him occupied. This is tough on him because he liked school and it gave structure to his day, and if there's one thing I have difficulty with, it's structure. Yes, I have my to do lists, but I do whatever I want from those lists when I feel like doing them. This approach won't work so well with a kid who needs more guidance and oversight than a checklist provides. And it's tough on me because I no longer have the hours when he's gone to do whatever. I have to be aware of what he's doing and be ready to step in and nudge him to other activities. This isn't easy with a kid who has very few activities he likes.
Then there's the husband's new work schedule, which works for him, but has disrupted our cleaning routine. While that may sound a little silly, if there's one thing that works to get things done (from writing to cleaning), it's routine.
And seasonal changes are happening. The problem with this year's seasonal changes is that there was almost no transition from the really cold winter to the now really hot summer plus hurricane season is starting. Me and heat and humidity and storms do not get along. I've been having trouble with being sluggish and too hot to do anything...and we're just getting started.
As for the writing, it's suffering. With Tirs set aside for the moment, and A.C. not being published as originally planned (thus taking the pressure off to get Quest done), I'm looking at other projects. That leaves Shades, which is still giving me trouble on the ending, and Chosen. Now Chosen isn't so much being problem as...honestly, I don't know. I feel a bit disconnected. And the usual routines aren't helping. I've had this problem before, but not usually for as long as I've been dealing with it this time around. I suspect that the weather has been part of it, but I can't keep letting it get int he way. Once the storms start to hit, there will be down days because of the headaches, so I've got to get back to taking advantage of the good days as soon as I can.
And I'll freely admit, the waiting for word back on submissions isn't really helping. And maybe this is the biggest problem of all for me right now: I'm not feeling any motivation to do anything because I'm hitting a place where it's hard to be hopeful. This is when I should be working with new projects. The problem is my new projects, the stuff I like to read and write, isn't in the areas of fantasy that are being sold right now, so it's hard to be motivated to write anything. I will get out of this space, it's just harder to ignore when already in a slump elsewhere.
The space in between things isn't necessarily a bad place to be: we all need down time and transition time. I'm just not good at either one of those. It's actually irritating me that I can't seem to get out of this "slump." I know I will eventually, but right now I'm in that space where it irritates me that I can't get the brain and keyboard going, but apparently doesn't irritate me enough to give me a kick in the butt when it's my writing time. That in between space is a good time to recharge, I'm just not good at taking advantage of it.
With all the transitions going on at the moment, it's going to be an interesting summer. Writing will be a part of it, even if it continues to be in the little splats that it's become lately. It just would be nice if I could get back to the daily dose of writing that I was doing before the trouble with Tirs started.
And, yea, I'm going to blame the book.

How are you spending your Fourth of July?
Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher is visiting Iraq with three other current and former NFL head coaches. I have to give the Chin credit, he's a braver man than I. I'm sure the security surrounding guest celebrities is ultra-tight but it's still a war zone. Not to mention if they were to come under sniper fire, Cowher's blindingly white teeth would reveal his position immediately.
While over in Iraq, the honor and loyalty of our troops has evidently rubbed off on Benedict Bill. The whistle-cranker was so moved by the sea of Terrible Towels which greeted him at every stop that he declared Iraq officially a part of Steeler Nation.
While I agree with the sentiment, Carolina Cowher evidently forget he no longer represents Steeler Nation. He forfeited that right when he sided against the Pittsburgh Penguins during the Stanley Cup playoffs. But I'll put aside my petty grievances for today, it being a holiday and all. Happy Independence Day to everyone and especially to all my readers in the military. I hope this blog provides you with a little entertainment and a little piece of home while you're stationed overseas. We appreciate all you do to serve and protect our cowardly asses back home.
Now let's all celebrate like true yinzers and shoot off a truckload of fireworks.

Speech Team Successes
Brian Klosa, Communication Instructor & Speech Team Director at South Central College shared the following update with staff and faculty about the success of the speech team:
This past weekend the SCC speech team competed in two tournaments in one weekend. On Saturday we were at MSU to compete in the Larry Schnoor Invitational and then on Sunday we were at Gustavus to compete in the Bill Robertz Invitational. Both of these tournaments were well attended and in fact a total of eight out of the top 20 teams in the nation last year were in attendance. It was a bloodbath but we did quite well.
On Saturday at MSU, Hailey Woolverton finished in 4th place in Prose Interpretation. On Sunday at Gustavus Hailey finished in 4th place again in Prose and then she also finished in 3rd place in Drama Interpretation. I am very proud of Hailey and for my novices that competed and survived these seriously competitive tournaments and still want to compete again!

Eric Gryba was a much maligned member of the Ottawa Senators blueline corps. His size and lack of mobility drew criticism, but he continually got the confidence of coach Paul MacLean in many situations.
He played the 5th most games of all the Senators defensemen (57) , and was the only one above even in the +/- rating, with a +9. In just his second full season in the NHL (well if you count the lockout shortened 2013 season) he recorded 2 goals and 9 assists
- Set career highs in assists (9) and points (11) while tying last season's goal total with 2.
- Averaged 17 minutes per game
- Added a physical element to the blue line
- Mobility and lack of puck moving ability limit his overall effectiveness
Eric Gryba will be a restricted free agent in July, and the Senators will have to tender a qualifying offer of at least $660,000 to retain his rights.
Gryba is never going to be an offensive, or even considered a two way, defenseman. He is still learning how to play in his own end, but making strides and will become a solid defensive defenseman who won't break the bank. The question is whether or not there is room for both him and Mark Borowiecki on the same blue line? Borowiecki's one way contract kicks in next season so there will be competition for that tough stay at home ice time.
GRADE – C : To use a bit of a cliche, Eric Gryba is what he is. Although he will improve in the aspects of what he does, he won't be much more and his ceiling is limited. But on the flipside, unlike some other defensemen on this team you know what you can expect out of him every night.
