The Detroit Branch NAACP says U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will deliver the keynote address at the civil rights organization's 58th annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner.
The dinner will be held April 28 at Cobo Center in downtown Detroit.
Pelosi is the House Democratic leader. She has represented San Francisco in Congress for a quarter of a century and became the first female speaker of the House.
Attorney General Eric Holder gave last year's keynote. Other recent speakers have included civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and former President Bill Clinton.
The Detroit chapter says the dinner draws 10,000 people each year. For more information on buying tickets, tables and sponsorships call 313-871-2087.
Police: Gas station employee shoots 2 men
Two men were shot by a gas station employee in Detroit on Friday, Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens said.
She said the men, ages 25 and 26, entered the gas station in the 7500 block of West Davison about 4:15 a.m. The 20-year-old employee left from behind the cashier counter and fired shots, hitting both men.
The employee was arrested. The victims were listed Friday in temporary serious condition, she said.
Stephens did not name the victims or employee or give a motive for the shooting.
Sentence given for dog neglect
A Sterling Heights woman who pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty after two dogs in her care were found to be emaciated was sentenced Friday to 24 months of probation and to pay more than $5,000 in restitution.
Lisa Precourt, 19, also was sentenced to 10 days of community service, random inspections by animal control and is not allowed to own dogs or harbor an animal, according to 41A District Court in Sterling Heights.
One of the dogs died four days after being taken from her home in November by supporters of Detroit Bully Corps, an Ann Arbor-based organization that rescues and rehabilitates pit bulls and other dogs called bully breeds.
Precourt told authorities that she lost her job and wasn't able to care for the two dogs. She told authorities that she feared the dogs would be put down if she took them to an animal shelter.
Teacher denied reduced bond
The Farmington Public Schools substitute teacher who has been charged in the sexual assault of a 7-year-old student will remain in the Oakland County Jail on a $1-million bond.
Judge Marla Parker of the 47th District Court denied a request Friday from defense attorney Mitch Ribitwer to decrease bond to $25,000 cash or surety and have Andrew Montgomery Howell, 58, on a GPS tether to control and monitor his whereabouts.
Howell was arraigned on a charge of second-degree criminal sexual conduct March 29 in the alleged sexual assault of a student at Hillside Elementary School, where he had been working as a substitute teacher.
Rep. sues Snyder over bridge deal
State Rep. Fred Durhal, D-Detroit, has filed a lawsuit in Ingham County against Gov. Rick Snyder over the deal Snyder made with Canada to build a second span over the Detroit River, connecting Detroit and Windsor.
His lawsuit claims that Snyder can't enter into an agreement with a foreign government without legislative approval. Snyder has been pushing for a second bridge across the river as an economic boom for the state. He signed the agreement with Canada last May, which entails Canada picking up the cost of the bridge and being repaid through collected tolls.
Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel (Matty) Moroun spent $33 million to push an ultimately unsuccessful ballot proposal in November that would have required a statewide vote on the bridge.
Durhal, who is running for Detroit mayor, has received $7,000 in campaign contributions from Moroun's family.

She's got an awfully big nursery to break in!
Blue Ivy Carter went home from the hospital with her famous mom and dad early on Tuesday, Lenox Hill Hospital officials confirmed to the Daily News and E! News.
PHOTOS: Her fabulous pregnancy
The Daily News reports that Beyonce, 30, and Jay-Z, 42, dodged photographers by exiting via the uptown New York hospital's side gate around 1:30 a.m. Two SUVs with tinted windows blocked traffic on East 76th street to allow the passage of a van. (No word yet on which vehicle held the famous family, or whether the procession was a decoy for an alternate departure.)

Fans worldwide are celebrating the birth of the superstar couple's very first child -- who even made her vocal debut, crying in Jay-Z's new song "Glory," -- but other new parents at Lenox Hill reportedly complained of the turmoil Blue Ivy's birth caused.

ALEXANDRIA, La. — Alex Carpenter of Little Rock, Ark., fired a final-round 4-under-par 68 to win the Medicus Postseason Junior at Alexandria by one shot over Henry Plager of Indianapolis.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Medicus Postseason Junior at Alexandria was held at OakWing Golf Club. Part of the Medicus Preseason/Postseason Junior Series, the tournament was a 36-hole stroke play event and consisted of 75 boys, ages 12-18, from 18 states, including 11 players from Louisiana. The par-72 golf course was playing to 6,745 yards.
Carpenter entered the final round three shots off the lead. Carpenter, 15, made a birdie on the sixth hole, and shot a 1-under-par 35 on the front nine. Carpenter made birdies on three of his first five holes on the back nine, finishing that side with a 3-under-par 33 to shoot 4-under-par 68 for the round and 143 for the tournament. Carpenter, who only had 25 putts during the final round, said that his putting was the key to his good play.
"I have been hitting the ball well, but I have not been able to get any putts to drop," Carpenter said. "Today, the putts were falling, so it was a really fun day."
Carpenter, who was playing in his first career AJGA event, said he was thrilled to win the tournament.
"It feels really great to win the event," Carpenter said. "I have heard about how prestigious the AJGA is and to win a tournament feels really good."
Plager recorded two consecutive birdies on hole Nos. 3 and 4, and finished the front nine with an even-par 36. He added two more birdies on the back nine to shoot an even-par 36 on the back nine as well. The Indianapolis native finished the event with a two-day total of 144. Plager said that even though he did not win, he was happy with the way he played during the tournament.
"I feel like I played two good rounds," Plager said. "I did not leave anything out on the course. I would have loved to win, but I'm happy with the way I played."
Ethan Savoy of Broussard, La., shot a final-round 71 to finish the event in third place, four shots behind the winner. Brian Hwang of Hauppauge, N.Y., Cory Crump of Peachtree City, Ga., and Sean Keller of Babylon, N.Y., each finished the event at 4-over-par 148. Parham Booker of Pace, Fla., Dan Kellermann of Jacksonville, Fla., Kevin Garbizo of Coral Springs, Fla., Robert Schmidt, also of Coral Springs, and Nicholas Deaver of Waco, Texas, finished the event tied for seventh with a two-day total of 149. Each of the top-10 finishers earned one tournament exemption to be used in a future AJGA event.

A former Navy explosive ordnance disposal technician and Iraq war veteran has been unexpectedly hit with $50,000 in law school costs because he has fallen through a tiny loophole in the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Garen Marshall, who left service in 2008 as a petty officer second class, is one of the thousands of veterans attending private colleges and universities who were supposed to be protected by a grandfather clause for GI Bill reimbursement rates when the veterans' education program shifted Aug. 1 from state-by-state tuition limits to a national cap.
Marshall meets the most of the criteria for rate protection. He had enrolled in New York University's School of Law before Jan. 4, 2011, still has GI Bill entitlement remaining on his 36 months of benefits and intended to be a full-time student.
But after consulting with the Veterans Affairs Department, university officials told him Aug. 25 that he missed one small thing: Rate protection applies only to students who are continuing their education at the same school. Marshall was finishing up his final semester at Baruch College in New York when he was accepted into New York University, and was still attending Baruch until he graduated in June.
Now the university is warning him that he'll have to find alternative financing for his almost $50,000 annual tuition and fee charges. He will be receiving just $17,500 while facing $48,950 in tuition and $1,306 in fees this year.
Marshall said he believed he was going to be grandfathered because he had been accepted into law school well before the Jan. 4 deadline.
"I was accepted to NYU on December 21, 2010," he said. "Since I had applied through the early decision program, I was legally bound to attend NYU from that point on. I received no scholarships, as expected, and was responsible for three years of tuition, approximately $150,000."
The 26-year-old said he will still attend law school, covering the extra tuition cost with money he had saved while in the Navy which he had planned to use for a down payment on a home.
The loophole doesn't seem fair, he said.
"It seems to me that it would be a strange technicality not to be covered because I was at Baruch. That would seem to imply that because I was attending college, I will not be covered, but had I instead been sitting around doing nothing, I would be covered," he said.
"I was expecting my tuition to be covered in full, between the GI Bill, Yellow Ribbon Program and New York State Veterans Tuition Award," Marshall said.
He said that's why he applied for early acceptance, which he knew could reduce the chances of getting scholarships.
The valedictorian at his June graduation, Marshall said it was "a big shock" when he learned details of the GI Bill revision. If he had known about the change, he would have applied to law school under a nonbinding program that would have left open the possibility of getting scholarships.
Marshall's problems are the result of a change, effective Aug. 1, intended to simplify Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits by establishing a worldwide cap on tuition and fees paid for private and foreign colleges and universities that replaces state-by-state caps used in the first two year of the program.
The new cap, $17,500 in annual benefits, meets or exceeds the old caps in most states. Seven states, including New York, had higher tuition and fee payments under the old state-by-state calculation, which is why special grandfather rules were created so that people already attending school on the Post-9/11 GI Bill in those states would not be hurt.
The others states where students also protected from cuts in benefits are Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas.

Art Nouveau has wonderful rhythmic lines, asymmetry and a stylized organic content incorporated into its basic forms. This turn of the 20th century example shows how a pendant can display simultaneously both a lyrical harmonious balance and asymmetry. Note the overall sense of a budding flower with leaves portrayed as scrolling elements. Sinuous curved lines show a free-flowing sense of whimsy and an underlying dynamic movement creating a mood which seems almost alive with energy.
A flowerhead pendant drop completes the balance as white gold of 18k tops 18k yellow gold studded with thirty-five (35) rose cut diamonds of an estimated total .21 carats, seven (7) channel set natural rubies and one round faceted natural ruby. A modern silver chain accompanies the Art Nouveau pendant.

Looks like the warriors are interested in Steve Nash.
Any potential Nash deal you figure would have to involve Ellis, otherwise they would be the worst defensive backcourt in the NBA.
still, i'd be willing to part with Monta for Nash, as long as Randolph is not part of the deal.
Nash needs a big 2 to help out on D, just like Monta. Jack could move to the 2, with kelenna and mags splitting time at the 3.
still, i think it's smoke and mirrors to sell tickets. i'll believe it when i see it.
Dubs Pursuing Nash?

i think most would agree that nash only has 2-3 more good years in him, and his position is the toughest to play. still, he seems to be healthier than baron and he's 5 years older.
even at his age, and despite his slower footspeed and notoriously bad D, i'd love to land nash. he's smart, and most importantly, he can be trusted to run the floor and make his team mates better. the warriors have plenty of youth, they need someone experienced that the young players can learn from, and that ain't jack and his terrible habits. steve nash would be huge, despite his limitations. and nelly would give him free reign like he did with baron. he's definitely a much smarter player than baron, and he's a class act all the way.
sigh. wishful thinking.

heh, after you make the link, you have to manually set the font color blue by highlighting the text for the link and changing it from default to blue.
yeah, not sure why links don't automatically show up as a different color...

About Me Midrange Shopper
I love these garden helpers. Although I wear gloves during yard work, I still fear spiders snakes, and other critters. These claws are big enough to scoop a lot of debris without touching it. These claws help me scoop up piles fast without a lot of spill.
Great Product
By Posty
from Michigan
These little helpers are better than sliced bread! I use them all the time to pick up debris in my yard, the leaves in the spring and fall cleanup, and I have several neighbors hooked on them now. I had knee surgery this year and had to hire someone to clean up my yard this spring. The guys were struggling so I brought out these little gems. At first they just laughed until they actually tried them and found out what a help they were. Asked where I got them!! See, old ladies do know something useful!
This is the second time I bought them .

I love my Garden hands. I rake leaves every day just to use them. My neighbors love them also. They do the job that raking makes a mess of the leaves. I have nothing bad to say about these fantastic Garden Hands. Wish I had them years ago.
These things are better than sliced bread! I have a set that I bought many years ago. All the neighbors chuckled when they saw them but after seeing what a great job they did, no one was laughing anymore and they all got themselves a pair! They are very durable and saves you a lot of work.
Neighbors don't laugh now!
My neighbors poo-hooed these when they saw me using them. But when I got sick and couldn't do my yard work, I hired the guy next door to do my leaves. He fiddled with the rakes and wrestled with his technique until I brought out my EXTRA hands. Once he got the hang of them, he was impressed and asked where I got them, he wanted a et. Saves your time, your nerves and a headache by trying to scoop up debris in your yard. I won't do yard work without them! A great product.
great !

Marines kneel beside the battlefield cross to pay their final respects to Sgt. Bradley Atwell during a memorial ceremony Sept. 20, 2012. Atwell was killed in action while engaging insurgents during an attack on Camp Bastion. (Cpl. Mark Garcia / Marine Corps)
- Filed Under
The dozen insurgents responsible for the attack last year on Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, that killed two Marines and caused tens of millions of dollars in destruction to aircraft and infrastructure made a long, complicated journey to spring their rampage.
The work began with them undertaking military training across the border in Pakistan. One day before the Sept. 14, 2012, attack, the insurgents moved across the border in groups of twos, and then regrouped in Kandahar. They hopped in a truck and traveled west to Helmand province, where they hid in a safe house in Washer district, which surrounds Bastion and adjacent Camp Leatherneck, the largest Marine base in Afghanistan.
Those are among the details outlined in a 32-page U.S. Central Command memo released this week by the military as Commandant Gen. Jim Amos announced that two of his general officers had been found at fault for allowing the attack to occur. Lt. Col. Christopher Raible, the commanding officer of Marine Attack Squadron 211, and Sgt. Bradley Atwell were killed in the attack. Eight other U.S. troops, eight British forces and one civilian were wounded.
Most of the initial media coverage focused on the commandants decision, announced Sept. 30, to ask for the retirement of Maj. Gens. Charles Mark Gurganus and Gregg Sturdevant. Gurganus was the commanding general of I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) and Regional Command Southwest at the time, overseeing all coalition forces in Helmand and Nimroz provinces. Sturdevant led 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Fwd.), the Corps aviation element downrange.
The CENTCOM memo was signed Aug. 19 by Army Lt. Gen. William Garrett and Marine Maj. Gen. Thomas Murray, who oversaw the investigation. It includes a number of remarkable, relatively unknown details about the attack.
1. Previous would-be attackers blew themselves up
The one insurgent who survived the attack told investigators he was recruited for a big, important mission about four months before it occurred. It was necessary because several insurgents who had been trained for the mission previously were killed. Their improvised explosive device detonated prematurely during the final staging for their attack, according to the generals memo.
That group planned to attack in July 2012, and was depicted in a propaganda video released by the Taliban that showed insurgents preparing for the mission, the memo said.
2. No RPGs
It was widely reported after the attack that six AV-8B Harrier jets in VMA-211 were destroyed by insurgents using rocket-propelled grenades. That is unlikely, investigators found. Instead, attackers were likely equipped with F-1 hand grenades, and either rolled or placed them underneath aircraft on the flightline, Garrett and Murray found.
That assessment was based on the concrete cratering underneath the aircraft, fragmentation patterns on the aircraft coupled with computer modeling of the F-1 fragmentation pattern, and multiple F-1 grenades found on the enemy bodies closest to the aircraft, their memo said.
3. Low-crawl to Bastion
The surviving insurgent told interrogators it took between 90 minutes and two hours for the attackers to reach the fence of Camp Bastion after they were dropped off. They initially traveled toward the base through a small wadi from the east, and low-crawled as they got closer.
After cutting the fence with wire cutters, the attackers moved through the fence, and crossed the boundary road one at a time until forming a defensive perimeter on the west side of the road, the generals CENTCOM memo said. Tower 16, which is approximately 150 [meters] southwest of the breach point, was unmanned based upon the tower manning rotation set by the UK commander responsible for force protection on Camp Bastion.
4. Torching of tents planned
The bodies of some of the attackers were found with spray-paint cans and lighters, the memo said. The detainee said during an interrogation that the insurgents planned to use them as mini-blow torches to light tents on fire in an effort to kill as many troops inside as possible.
5. Base security forces detailed
At the time of the attack, the base security force for the military complex that includes Bastion and Leatherneck consisted of 110 members of 2nd Battalion 10th Marines, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., 134 personnel from the British military, 288 troops from the Jordanian Armed Forces and 255 contractors with the company Triple Canopy.
Combined, the Marines and British forces could generate three or four squad-size foot patrols around the base per day. At the time of the attack, a single Marine squad was outside the wire on the Leatherneck side of the base, conducting surveillance on the point of origin of recent rocket attacks.
6. Guard tower problems
There were 24 concrete guard towers at Camp Bastion at the time of the attack, set anywhere from 50 to 250 meters away from the perimeter fence. Eleven of them were occupied at the time of the attack common, Garrett and Murray found.
Tower manning rotated in an attempt to avoid a pattern, and town manning selection was also based on the external terrain and interlocking fields of fire and observation, the generals memo said.
Tower 17, the one nearest to the breach point that had guards, did not have a good vantage point of it. It would have been difficult to observe an approaching attacker who was attempting to conceal his movement, even on a night with better illumination, and even if the guard was constantly scanning back and forth with a night-vision device, the generals found.
7. Tongans on point
Marines were angered by allegations first published in The Washington Post in April that troops from the Pacific island of Tonga were known to fall asleep while on post in the towers at Bastion. However, Garrett and Murray found that there was no evidence to suggest that was the case the night of the attack.
The Tongan guards had different guard procedures than the Marines, and they stayed in the towers for longer periods of time, Garrett and Murray said in an executive summary of their investigation.
Typically, two Tongans were on duty in the top of the tower, and two Tongans were off-duty in the bottom of the tower, which also served as their living and sleeping area, they continued. Marines typically ran on the gravel road near the Camp Bastion towers, so Marines without knowledge of the living and working arrangement in the guard towers may have misinterpreted and misreported what they observed the Tongans doing in and around the lower level of the towers.
The investigation found that top commanders at Bastion and Leatherneck knew of the concerns about the Tongans but were not concerned because they were aware of their working arrangements in the towers.
8. Previous fence breaches
The attack was not the first time that individuals had breached the perimeter of Camp Bastion or Camp Leatherneck without permission. In one example, an intruder sneaked into Leatherneck in June 2012, fleeing after guards began to close in on him. The base had a problem with scrappers, individuals who would take or steal metal to sell for cash.
Garrett and Murray also found that there was surveillance video previously recorded of two other breaches at Bastion. In one case, two people breached the fence near the airfield but left through the same hole without incident.
Many people throughout the RC(SW) chain of command, including MajGen Gurganus, expressed concern about the fence breaches, but accepted them as related to scrapping or theft activity, the generals memo said.
9. Limited security for Harriers
Marine units on Camp Leatherneck were required to provide their own local security, posting barriers and guards as they saw fit. That wasnt the case on Camp Bastion, however, the investigation found. Sturdevant left it up to individual squadron commanders to determine how they conducted local security, and they did not all do so the same way.
Two of the squadrons on the airfield, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 and Marine Light Attack Squadron 469, maintained their own security, Garrett and Murray found. The Harrier unit, which sustained the majority of U.S. casualties, did not. It sustained the majority of the U.S. casualties, including the death of Raible, the squadron commander.
Garrett and Murray said that many Marines in VMA-211 believed they did not have enough manpower to post local security, but Sturdevant required it after the Bastion attack occurred.
10. Prince Harry rumors
The British media perpetuated one story line that the Taliban attacked Bastion in part because Prince Harry known in the military as Capt. Harry Wales was deployed there at the time as a helicopter co-pilot. Garrett and Murray found no evidence that that was the case.
It is highly unlikely the Taliban attacked Camp Bastion to target Captain Wales, as planning for this attack began as far back as 2011, and primarily focused on destroying or damaging aircraft and [base] infrastructure, the memo said.

text: Criticism of Dutch 'Black Pete' tradition grows Share this story email Share this story «Previous 6 of 8 Photos Next » Read the story « » Netherlands Black Pete In this photo taken Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012 persons dressed as "Zwarte Piet" or "Black Pete" attend a parade after St. Nicholas, or Sinterklaas, arrived by boat in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Foreigners visiting the Netherlands in winter are often surprised to see that the Dutch version of St. Nicholas' little helpers resemble a racist caricature of a black person. The overwhelming majority of Dutch, who pride themselves on tolerance, are fiercely devoted to their holiday tradition and say "Zwarte Piet", whose name means "Black Pete", is absolutely harmless, a fictional figure who does not represent any race. But now a growing group of Dutch natives are questioning whether this particular part of the tradition should be changed. (AP Photo/ Margriet Faber)

|Appalachian School of Law Shootings
You can see the part of each story below that mentions how Peter O. was captured here, while an index is here
Fri, 18 Jan 2002
A man shot his ex-girlfriend to death Friday at the community college she attended, then killed himself, authorities said.
Moriah Ann Pierce, 20, was studying to become an elementary school teacher, according to a statement from Broward Community College, southwest of Fort Lauderdale.
Michael Holness, 23, of Miramar, shot her, then himself, because of a domestic dispute, police Lt. Gary Killam said.
Several students witnessed the late-morning shooting, but no one else was injured.
"I turned around and I saw the girl was shot," student Joe Fazio said. "It looks like she was shot in the back of the neck. Then I heard the second gunshot. I turned around and the guy was laying on the ground."
It was the third shooting at schools nationwide in the past week.
On Wednesday, the dean, a professor and a student were shot and killed at Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Va. A student who had recently flunked out was arrested.
Two students were shot and wounded Tuesday at Martin Luther King Jr. High School on New York City's Upper West Side. A teen-ager was arrested Friday.

Okay, we get it.
We're talking about grants, and they are going for some of the most mundane, unsexy things in the world, from computer software to road-salt spreaders.
So why should you care? Why on Earth should this hold your interest? Because it's your money and because when it comes to bringing more efficiency to government, the public has to take the gains that it can get - and push for so much more.
To that former end, Dutchess County has unveiled the funding awards in Executive Marc Molinaro's initiative to get municipalities to find ways to consolidate and share services. The executive sought $1 million for the program and the Legislature opted to double down, adding another $1 million before approving the 2013 budget. (The county also took sales tax money away from localities, it should be noted.)
As a result of these grants, 12 Dutchess County municipalities are teaming up for "cloud-based" software for permitting, code enforcement and planning purposes, allowing workers in these areas to provide and share information instantaneously. The public will directly benefit from the software, which will make it easier for residents to submit online permit applications, track what is going on and be given status updates.
As other examples, the towns of Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park are collaborating on purchasing automated spreaders that reduce the amount of salt used on roads, which has both financial and environmental benefits, and the towns of Beekman and Dover will use a $25,000 grant to consolidate assessor responsibilities between the towns, bringing considerable savings over time.
Yes, these are small steps, compared with the consolidation of services that should occur on the government level throughout New York. Mergers are part of life in the private sector. But even nonprofit organizations have seen the benefits over the years, including the Dutchess and Orange County chapters of the United Way becoming one and Dutchess County's two largest chambers of commerce joining forces.
The public has a right to expect far more from government, and that includes school and fire districts.
In reality, though, getting government to share services is much easier than, say, dissolving a village and having a town take over or seeing two school districts merge. Not only government officials but residents of those places tend to resist such efforts for a variety of reasons, from wishing to retain more control and hometown pride, to being concerned about losing school identity, etc.
The public must speak out about these issues and make clear what the priorities are. Lowering the cost of government can take many forms, some more comfortable than others. But the goal is absolutely crucial to the financial well-being of the area and the state. Of that there should be no argument.

I just tried the ORVW 10/107, and to me it is fantastic. It's also in your price range. The ORVW 10/90 is good, but as I said, the 10/107 is great. Good Luck, Joe
" I never met a Weller I didn't like"
Your purchase solution is to just hold off for a month or two and then splurge with $60-90 to spend.
Add some rye...you won't be disappointed....for cost and excellent taste the Rittenhouse BIB cannot be beat.
The WT Rye is good also........
I agree with most of what's been said. Go with the ORVW 10/107 it is a great bourbon at the price point. If you can get the Centennial then grab this months and next months purchase right now as it will be gone gone gone.
I can also suggest the Weller Antique 107 although it isn't that much different from the special reserve (which I sometimes like better) but man are they inexpensive (so you can drink 2 bottles in a month!)
Given your deal with the wife, you also might want to check out the following thread....some tips on stealth bourbon collecting
Crouching Husband, Hidden Bourbon- Becoming a Whiskey Ninja
Whisk(e)y - a bargain at any price !!!
To keep with the deal you have going with the wife I would buy ETL for this month, ORVW 107 next and ODG the month after. Being the sneaky one I would try to slide a Baker's, or WT Rare Breed past as it is just outside of your range. One other bourbon I haven't seen mentioned is Weller 12 yr. I have edited this post to make sure it gets on your radar.
Now for the cool part. Since the deal with your wife is 1 Bourbon a month you are free to buy all the straight rye you want. So I would pick up WT Rye 101, Baby Saz, Rittenhouse BIB 100 with that 1 bottle of Bourbon. And if it is your birthday month then you gotta pickup a bottle of VWFRR. It is $47 or so but it would be a b-day present to yourself and the wife cannot possibly say no to that.

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough". Mark Twain
I went with the Elmer T. Lee and I could not have been more pleased. It really hit the spot. I went back over my tasting notes and have realized that I really have a thing for Buffalo Trace bourbons so I think I will be going with a Van Winkle next. Hopefully I can sneak the 12yo in.
If anything, by trying a wheat-recipe bourbon of the highest caliber, such as the Van Winkle bottlings, you may be expanding your experience in an interesting and highly enjoyable direction. I know you've already tried Maker's Mark, another wheat-recipe bourbon, but IMO it's not in the same league as the VWs.
Yours truly,
Dave Morefield

Yours truly,
Dave Morefield
Dog Lover, Euphonium Player, Campfire Guitarist, Marksman,
Great advice so far, and the ETL is a good choice. From your list (and building on what others have mentioned) I'd say that you're ready to try a better wheater and some more Heaven Hill products -- based on that I'd go with the OVRW 10/107 (you'll probably find the 10/90 too simple) and definitely an EWSB. Several Weller expressions would also fit the bill for a better-than-Makers wheat recipe -- I'd skip the Special Reserve as too light.
Since you liked the Basil Hayden, OGD 114 (or BIB) will give you a younger, kickier version of that mashbill.
I recommend EC18 (especially if you can get it under $30) but it's a love/hate bourbon -- get a few more under your belt before trying it. It's not just an older version of EC12! If you can find Old Heaven Hill around your parts, I'd put one on the list first (but after the EWSB.)
The next BT bourbon to try would be Ancient Ancient Age (10yo, not 10 Star, if you can find it.)
Finally, I agree with your assessment of Knob Creek but I'm still a big fan of Jim Beam Black, and it should be well within your price range. (I'd do that the month after the OGD and before AAA or EC18.)

Mother's Day weekend is upon us, and you know what that means: flowers, gifts, quality time with Mom, fondly remembering precious memories of her ... and thousands of cyclists pedaling their way through the streets of Chillicothe and on the roads of southern Ohio.
The annual Tour of Scioto River Valley takes place this weekend with as many as 3,000 cyclists of all ages winding their way from Columbus to Portsmouth today before making the return trek north after an overnight stay.
It's an annual pilgrimage that invariably results in frustrated riders and drivers.
Most riders will average less than 15 mph. Motorists following a rider, or group of riders, down Ohio 104 probably would swear speeds feel more like 5 mph. Frustrated motorists, when finally seeing an opportunity to pass, might do so in an overly aggressive manner or at an unsafe distance. That aggression can blind motorists to other bikers farther up the road or oncoming traffic.
Motorists - for everyone's safety, including their own - need to take a deep breath and understand bicycles have the same right to the road as cars do.
And cyclists, that saying goes both ways.
The law gives riders the same rights to the road, but also asks they ride as far to the right as safely possible. Riders should be considerate of the motorists being delayed by their comparatively slow pace, and motorists should be considerate of riders' rights.
It also means riders need to follow the laws that apply to motorists. Red lights mean stop.
They do not mean yield, nor that it's OK to run the red because the previous five riders did just that.
Following traffic laws and respecting others on the road could save your life and will invoke goodwill from passing motorists, pedestrians and spectators watching as you pass through our community.
Remember it's Mother's Day weekend and that many of the riders - under those colorful helmets, jerseys and spandex shorts - are mothers. They also are sons and daughters.
Maybe the best rule of thumb is this: Behave like Mom is watching you.

Topic: Shower Scene
My girlfriend just told me that when she was 6 she was flipping through Cable stations (around 1984) and saw a scene that to this day makes it difficult for her to take showers in tiled bathrooms.
I'm trying to track the movie down. I've gone through this thread: http://www.horror-movies.ca/Forum/viewtopic.php?id=8051 but didn't find it.
She describes it as a shower scene where a young woman with light colored hair is standing in a tiled shower when hands burst through the walls.
This is all she can remember, but people here seem very knowledgeable so I've no doubt someone will be able to help.

5-Button Optical Laser Gaming Mouse - Black
Get the edge on the competition with this 5-Button Laser Gaming Mouse from Monoprice!
Unlike normal optical mice, which use LEDs for illuminating the sensor, this mouse uses a laser diode for improved sensitivity and accurate tracking on all surfaces. The 5-button design includes the standard left/right/wheel buttons, plus an additional pair on the left side of the mouse. By default these two extra buttons perform "forward" and "backward" functions in browsers, but they can be custom configured within individual games.
The mouse also features a soft-touch, silky-smooth, rubber coated upper surface and an etched side for improved grip. The left-side of the mouse includes a small protrusion on which you can rest your thumb. A pair of buttons on the upper surface of the mouse allow you to adjust the sensitivity/dpi setting of the mouse on the fly (800, 1600, 2400, or 3400 dpi), so you can have it fast when you want need better response and slow it down when you need more precision.
The weight of the mouse can be custom configured by removing one or more of the five 4-gram metal discs inside the removable weight tower. A white LED inside the mouse cycles through various colors, which emit from the transparent plastic ring around the weight tower.
No installation or drivers are required. Just plug it in and it works!

Looking for open-source billing & invoice software
This post may belong to the request section. I am not sure.
I am looking for a simple open source software to write invoices and especially keep track of payments. Something in between accounting software (GNUCash) and a spreadsheet. Not a personal finance manager.
In Windows I used to use Easy Invoice but for (Puppy) linux I am not sure yet what the right choice would be. I think Argentum would be a good choice. It is open source and looks very small:
does a pet or sfs exist?

I don't know if your interested in Cloud stuff or not bot over at:
you can pick up this little .pet program, install it on your current puppy version and in ther are a few things thay may interest you... ZoHo has a nice site with invoicing, spreadsheets etc. There are also more on the little .pet of course, you might want to check them out also?
Hope this helps some!

I researched and asked about this type of package a ?year or so ago and was pointed at a couple that were to involved against what i wanted, there just doesn't seem to be something simple around.
EDIT: What I asked for was a basic 3column accounting system with address keeping, invoice creating, and a basic stockkeeping component.
The best I found that was linux was unfortunately german only.
As an alternate I was considering building my own and I had considered using 'citrusdb'.
. It ws somewhat overkill, but had already all the components I wanted, however my mageia puppy building got in the way and I never proceeded.
However, just having a look on freecode, maybe you could have a look at callisto
and report back, I seems of more use. Otherwise you need to consider something like 'the freerP project' and that is a 'bit' on the heavy side.

Same with Template Billing. They may require modification, but that's easier than reinventing the wheel.

Hello, Dromeno.
Perhaps by now you already know this.
In LO itself (or AOO), there are already 4-5 invoice and billing templates.
You create them this way:
Open LO Base
Click on Use Wizard to Create a Table
Now you will see 2 broad categories : professional and personal. Choose "Professional".
Now you see a button entitled Categories. Click on that button and a menu appears : it will show you various templates for invoice, time billed, etc.
Click on the one most suited for you, and follow the prompts.
When finished you will have a database you can use to register your orders and invoices.
From that database, you can create a pdf-printable
that you send or hand to your customer.
There is a good general summary here of how to do it :
Best regards.

I wrote TradieTrakka, what does it lack that you need?
If what you want still fits with our "vision", then I may be able to make some changes.
Also, I wonder how many people realise in the quote and invoices you right click the table to add predefined materials and labour. Thinking how I can make that a bit nicer.
The other thing people seem to miss is that you need to press enter on an item line or it is not added, ie a new empty line appears. otherwise it is not added.

Hi Tuxta,
thanks for you attention.
By now I'm afraid that there are too many changes to make, to fit my needs. The main problem, I live in another country with another language
So I need:
* another order of adress items
* net prices instead of gross prices
* € instead of $
* VAT instead of GSM, better if 2 different VATs possible
* translating of all items (at least in invoices and quotes, done by myself, but must be possible)
* maybe another order of items in "Materials Charges" and "Labour Charges". For me there's no need to differentiate between this two items in your way, also I don't need "Name" AND "Brand" or "Name" AND "Desc". One is enough for me.
For better understanding, I'll send you an original invoice from me by PM.
tuxta wrote:
We obviously wrote this software for our own country, but we did plan to eventually make it useful else where with VAT etc.
I really don't expect that you'll do so many changes for me, but if you really want to make it useful in other countries, I'd be glad to help and test (in this case, better in the
other thread
Btw., ages ago I tried to create something similar with Nantucket Clipper Summer'87 (known only by dinosaurs or mummies
). Basically it worked, but too many faults in too many modules and it was never ready
. To make a long story short, I changed completely my job and forgot nearly everything about programming. Since I came to Puppy, I do only a little bash scripting, just for fun

Your proposed changes are pretty straight forward, keep in mind that a number of fields are optional, only there for your records, if you don't need them generally you can just leave them out.
The part that will take some thought would be the VAT, but even then I could just simply have customized taxes.
There would of course be no ETA on any of this, but I would be interested in seeing how we go implementing your requests.

VISIT is a great Undergraduate Business Council event that gives students first-hand experience with what it's like being a part of the workforce. The Business Council chooses a company to visit for half a day, during which time students have the opportunity to tour the company and speak with executives and employees to better understand their experiences at the company and the career path they took. VISIT is an incredibly beneficial program, particularly for students who are interested in working in the Austin area after graduation, or interning in Austin during school or in the summer.

Lucky Hall, left, chats with Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence, in Indianapolis. For more on Pence, click this story at jconline.
- Filed Under
Mike Pence was willing to take the government to the brink of shutdown last year as he crusaded to defund Planned Parenthood.
Staunchly anti-abortion, the six-term Republican believes no taxpayer money in the federal budget should support an organization that offers abortions, even if that money is used for other services.
Pence lost that fight. Washington continued funding Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider of sexual and reproductive health care for women. But the 53-year-old congressman's eagerness to champion anti-abortion and other social issues, to talk openly ...

Passover, which began at sundown Monday, has ancient roots in the Exodus of Jewish slaves from Egypt, but faith leaders say it remains relevant for contemporary worshippers.
Passover today is a modern-day story, said Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel of Chabad of Nashville. Were all slaves to different things in our lives.
Passover and the ritualistic Seder meal that marks its beginning is a time to gather, free from those distractions and recount the Exodus, he said.
Chabad of Nashville held a community Seder meal Monday and will hold another today.
Each attendee will be called to consider the personal exodus he or she must make, Tiechtel said.
The Exodus story remembered at Passover helps reconnect local Jews to their commitment to social justice, according to Abbie Wolf, spokeswoman for the Jewish Federation of Nashville.
It renews our call every year to remember that once we were slaves, she said. The Jewish community at Passover and all year round focuses on social justice, knowing that once we were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Rackspace Launches OpenStack-Based Cloud Storage
Rackspace today announced the availability of a new storage service, Cloud Block Storage. The service, which complements the company's existing Cloud Files offering, specifically targets databases and other applications that require fast I/O. Customers can choose between traditional spinning disk or more expensive SSD drives that offer higher performance.
Customers can provision a single volume starting at 1 Gbyte and expand up to 1 Tbyte. Multiple volumes can be connected to the company's Cloud Servers. Note that while volumes can be provisioned as a single gigabyte, customers must purchase the storage in blocks of 100 Gbytes. As mentioned, customers can choose between traditional disk and higher-performance SSDs. The pricing difference between the two is stark: Spinning disk starts at 15 cents per gigabyte, while SSD is 70 cents per gigabyte. The company says that unlike some competitors, such as Amazon, there are no additional charges based on IOPS. Snapshots can be stored on the Cloud Files service for10 cents per gigabyte per month.
While Rackspace touts its SSD option, Amazon also provides a high-performance storage option, though without the use of SSDs. Amazon's Elastic Block Store (EBS) service lets customers provision two types of volumes: standard and provisioned IOPS. In the provisioned IOPS option, the customer sets an IOPS rate for the volume. Amazon says it can support up to 1,000 IOPS per provisioned volume. Rackspace did not specify the IOPS performance of its SSD tier.
Rackspace's new service is built on top of OpenStack's Cinder APIs. OpenStack is an open-source platform for building public and private cloud services, with automation and orchestration controls for compute, storage and networking. Originally conceived by RackSpace and NASA, the OpenStack code base is now overseen by the OpenStack Foundation.
By building on OpenStack, "customers aren't locked in to a particular vendor," says John Engates, CTO of Rackspace. "If they decide to go to another OpenStack cloud, whether a private cloud or competitor's cloud, if they adhere to Cinder APIs, they have no switching costs because the product is provisioned the same across clouds."
Engates said the new service's most prominent competitor is Amazon's EBS, but the market is full of providers offering similar products. InformationWeek recently published an IaaS buyer's guide that profiles nine vendors, including Amazon, GoGrid, Google and Terremark. The guide provides a detailed breakdown of services. Many of the vendors profiled in the buyer's guide offer block storage, with prices ranging from 10 cents to 80 cents per gigabyte per month.
Rackspace says the Cloud Block Storage service is available immediately in its two U.S. data centers and its London-based data center. Drew is formerly editor of Network Computing and currently director of content and community for Interop. View Full Bio

Oxford, OH -- Demetrius Treadwell and Brian Walsh each had 13 points, and the Mid-American Conference-leading Akron Zips earned a 54-50 victory over the Miami-Ohio RedHawks at Millett Hall.
The victory extended the Zips' (19-4, 10-0 MAC) winning streak to 15 in a row, the longest active streak in the nation.
Allen Roberts scored 11 points off the bench to pace the RedHawks (8-14, 3-7), who have lost six of their last seven contests. Reggie Johnson and Drew McGhee scored 10 apiece in the loss.
Akron got off to a dismal start, as the Zips shot just 6-of-25 from the floor (.240) in the first half and trailed, 25-16 at intermission.
However, the Zips scored the first six points of the second stanza, and they eventually took the lead on Alex Abreu's layup with just under eight minutes to play in regulation. Akron went on to shoot 56.5 percent from the floor over the final 20 minutes to complete the comeback.
The Zips forced 18 turnovers for the game en route to their fifth straight win in the head-to-head series.

I Remember the Old Gas Stations
5 comments:
- Apple said...
I don't remember ones like the top picture but I do remember full service stations. I also remember pumps out in the middle of nowhere where you fed a dollar in and then could pump that much gas. The stations around here still have kerosene pumps for those of us that heat with it.

This was a good subject that you chose to write about, Dad! Young people would have no idea what it used to be like. I'm glad I'm old enough to remember sitting in my car while Mike Peschka took care of everything for me!

My father-in-law always ad a story about pumping the gas up the then filling the car, thanks for reminding me! I remember shortly after a group of us got driver's licenses, we went from station to station asking for 10 or 15 cents worth of gas. At that time, a gallon was 20 or so cents, so we weren't buying much. Then we rated the service: did we get our oil check? Windshield washed? and so on. It really didn't take much to entertain us in a small northern Michigan town.

Oh, I remember something about the old gas stations. Many of the gas stations in small-town Texas were still like this when my mom and I lived there in the late 60s and early 70s. My dad had a friend who owned a gas station and when I was a little girl he used to take me with him when he went to visit. So I got to be good friends with the soda machine at the station....

|Version 3 (modified by szabgab, 7 years ago) (diff)
We are using Subversion for version control. The main development is in the trunk http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk. There is a separate directory for plug-ins and spin-off projects: http://svn.perlide.org/padre/projects
- see Download for installation information
see the http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/Padre/HACKING.txt file
See TranslationIntro
Release and Distribution
Release of Padre
As of release 0.21 we started a rotation of release managers for Padre.
- Obtain co-maintenance permissions for all of the namespaces in the Padre distribution. Talk to Gábor Szabó (szabgab), Adam Kennedy (Alias), or Steffen Müller (tsee) about this.
- cd to trunk/Padre
- Make sure the Changes file is up to date and manually update if necessary, add the vX.XX Date string at the top (commit)
- run perl ../tools/update_version_number.pl VERSION that will update the version number in every module and report if there was no VERSION entry in a module. Those need to be fixed. (commit)
- run perl ../tools/release.pl REV VERSION [--tag] will try to create a distribution using a temporary directory and copy the resulting Padre-X.XX.tar.gz in the current directory. The optional --tag flag will also create a tag in SVN. So the release manager first can run it dry and when she is sure it creates a good release can run it again to also tag it in SVN.
- Upload to PAUSE
- Send announcement to padre-dev mailing list
- Send announcement to padre-news mailing list (Gabor needs to approve the message)
- Submit announcement to http://use.perl.org/
- Update the Release History
- Add the version number to the list of versions in Trac (Gabor needs to do this)
- Important: Assign primary maintainer status to Gabor (PAUSE ID 'SZABGAB') for all namespaces that are new in the current release.
- Log into your PAUSE account
- Click "View Permissions" in the menu
- Note all Padre::* classes for which you are listed as "first-come" (as opposed to "co-maint").
- Click "Change Permissions" in the menu
- Under "2. You are primary maintainer:" select any one or all of the Padre::* namespaces that appear in the list view.
- Click Select for "2.1 Pass primary maintainership status to somebody else (giving it up at the same time)"
- Make sure all Padre::* namespaces are selected in the new listbox.
- Enter "SZABGAB" in the text field.
- Click "Pass Maintainership Status".
- You will automatically become co-maintainer instead of primary maintainer of the classes in question.
Distribution of Padre
The primary distribution channel of Padre is CPAN. Hence for every release first we create a CPAN distribution of Padre. (See above).
Based on the CPAN package Gabor release Padre on Portable Strawberry.
Later, based on the CPAN package the downstream distributors create their .deb and .rpm etc.
- we should fix the stand-alone executable creation for Linux.
- we should make sure we can create stand-alone executable for Windows as well.
- The Padre on Portable Strawberry should contain several plug-ins.
- We probably should also create a source package (that looks like a CPAN package) that includes many plug-ins in order to make it easier for the downstream packagers to add a bigger chunk of Padre. We might also let then user install those packages using pip directly from the perlide.org server.

Hayford on Chiverton: "Collin is a winner and has played on highly-successful teams -- he has been a key player on all of those squads. He is an extremely athletic player and has a great dribble-drive game. He has extreme range in his outside shooting ability, and is a very strong offensive player. It addresses a need that we had on our roster, and we're really excited that a player from the City College of San Francisco state championship team is now at Eastern. All you have to do is get online and look at some of the highlights of Collin and you'll see how athletic he is. Where he helps us most is providing size on the perimeter. He has great scoring ability, especially scoring in bursts. We've added a great player to our roster."
Career: In the four seasons he has played since his junior year in high school, teams that Chiverton has played on have won 114 of 131 games for an 87 percent winning rate.

He made 39 percent of his shots from the field (153-of-392), 34 percent from the three-point arc (74-of-216) and 83 percent from the free throw line (89-of-107). The Bruins finished 24-8, including a 14-6 record in the Scenic West.

There may not be much behind the sparkling tinsel curtain of David O. Russell's extraordinarily entertaining American Hustle. But what a curtain! Christian Bale in an endearingly artificial hairpiece, Amy Adams in a series of slippery '70s dresses cut down to there, Jennifer Lawrence in a tousled blond updo, two parts Ellen Barkin to one part Angie Dickinson: There's tons of artifice in American Hustle, but it's not the special-effects kind. Bale plays Bronx–born con artist Irving Rosenfeld: In the opening, he carefully spirit-glues fake hair onto his cue ball pate. His main squeeze, Sydney Prosser (Adams), is a vixen who speaks with a pinkie-up British accent -- though she's really from Albuquerque -- and she's Irving's partner in a number of naughty little schemes. They're in love and desperately happy, but for two complications: They've attracted the attention of loose-cannon FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper, in a decidedly unsexiest-man-alive man-perm), who offers a deal if they'll help snare a few baddies. Plus, Irving has a wife and a kid, and he's principled enough to want to stick by them. And so he does, even after wife Rosalyn, played by Lawrence, nearly sets the family home aflame by falling asleep under a sunlamp: Lawrence makes her entrance like a harlequin, her face half crimson. Russell, hardly the most sensual of filmmakers, delights in Lawrence, which may be one reason the movie works so well. You'd never credit him with a light touch, but American Hustle cruises along like a line of wedding guests doing the Electric Slide. Its plot mechanics are impossible to take seriously and yet deeply pleasurable to parse, right up to the who's-screwing-whom ending.Stephanie Zacharek
