"The things is, Haywood County is becoming a place that when people are in the area they may go to Waynesville or wherever because there is this restaurant they have to try," he said. "There are a lot of people planning their trips around what places there are to eat at here."
Over the past decade, there has been a food revolution in the county. Whether it is local mainstay establishments incorporating different dishes into their menus or culinary artisans relocating to the area to start a new and unique restaurant of their own, the vision is clear.
"I think a lot of people can be afraid of growth, and they think if another restaurant comes to town they'll put them out of business," Weaver said. "But, it's not like that. If we can encourage growth, healthy growth, then that'll lead to us having a scene."
And residents of Haywood are starting to take note. Go to any restaurant on a weekend evening or during the summer tourist season and you'll find tables and bellies full from a made-from-scratch or farm-to-table meal. The key is to begin to make those busy nights properly transition into the workweek and winter off-season.
"Local restaurants need the support of the community in the winter months and the tourist in the summer months in order to survive," said CeCe Hips, president of the Haywood Chamber of Commerce. "We have many excellent restaurants that can go head to head with any restaurant across the country, and we want to make sure that we continue to have the variety we have."
From the ground up
Haywood County wasn't always so enthusiastic about eclectic food and ambiance. Weaver remembers first stepping foot into the region years back, when all it seemed you could find was a burger and fries. Though those items are still immensely popular today, tastes are slowly shifting.
"In January, we're selling cheeseburgers and Bud Light, in July we're selling cherry pork belly and bottles of wine," he chuckled. "But, the tide is turning. We're trying to draw tourists in to make it a culinary scene year-round. We're not there yet, but things like Mélange are here to cater to the idea that Haywood is a culinary destination."
Originally from England, Michelle Briggs is a French trained chef who came to Western North Carolina a few years ago to open the Herren House, a bed and breakfast in downtown Waynesville. For her, the town is one that supports each other, which in turn fosters a proud and friendly relationship between all the different restaurant styles and themes.
"We have such an array of restaurants that whoever comes to town will be pleased," she said. "I can send my guests to a farm-to-table place, a brewery with good food, a Thai restaurant or a great pizzeria. When people come here, they leave saying how much fun they had and how great the food was."
Only in their second year of existence, Frogs Leap Public House knew from the start that though breaking into the Haywood food business would provide some challenges, the initial intent and purpose of the restaurant would ultimately win out. With a philosophy of offering fresh, local farm ingredients, Frogs Leap makes sure to always serve what's in season or what's on the market that can fit perfectly with their farm-to-table cuisines.
"My whole goal is to feature Waynesville and Western North Carolina through art, food, music and culture," said Kaighn Raymond, head chef at Frogs Leap. "Everything we do here at the restaurant is about trying to showcase the qualities and great life we live here in Western North Carolina. I love it all, which is why I moved here."
Raymond believes the restaurant scene in Haywood and beyond will continue to grow, with more and more talented chefs and business owners coming into the area, tapping into the vast and rich culture of Southern Appalachia.
"I do see a lot of potential in the next decade, and I want to be part of it. It's time for a real turnover around here," he said. "The restaurant scene is so different today. It's entertainment. You used to go out to eat to get food, but now you go out to eat instead of going to a show. It's an experience, and a specific one here in Western North Carolina."
Coming together
In an effort to harness the creative energy of local chefs and nurture a sense of camaraderie, the chamber is once again holding its MĂ©lange of the Mountains event on Thursday, April 11, at Laurel Ridge Country Club in Waynesville. The culinary gala, filled with food competitions and entertainment, has become a lauded evening for the county to not only celebrate its food culture but also further set the platform for more growth within a Haywood industry quickly finding its identity.
"Mélange is the ideal venue for locals and visitors alike to sample the local culinary talent during the gala and further become acquainted with their favorite restaurants," said Katy McLean Gould, marketing and communications manager for the chamber.
Though in years past MĂ©lange was a one-day affair, it has now expanded into a weekend-long event filled with specialized dinners, drinks and demonstrations around Haywood. With the gala kicking things off, the weekend itself is shaping up to be one of culinary passion and curiosity.
"Personally, it's a chance for me to take what I do best and put it out there," said Art O'Neil, head chef/co-owner at The Gateway Club. "But more importantly, it's for Haywood County to see what we have to offer. Locals supporting local."
Started eight years ago between O'Neil and the chamber, the annual fundraiser has become a much-anticipated gathering. Add in the craft beer component, with three breweries now in Waynesville alone, and patrons truly get to be exposed to the essence of their surroundings.
"It's not about being exclusive and not wanting to play with each other, it's about camaraderie between the local restaurants," he said. "This was created with the idea that you don't have to go to Buncombe County to find something good to eat."
That camaraderie is important for the health of the county's entire food industry. For many chefs, Mélange may be the only time during the year they can get out of a hectic kitchen and rub shoulders with their peers. It's about putting a face to the name of the business and realizing you're all in it together.
"I've got friends that are my Mélange friends, where I don't see them the entire year and that one night at the gala we're all next to each other having a good time," Weaver said. "It's important for us to do this with the community. We've been able to see this really grow, and there's an eclectic mix if you look at it."
Categories at the gala are meat (red, pork), poultry, seafood, soup, salad and dessert. While some of the head chefs specifically focus on a certain category that expresses their forte, many look forward to letting their assistants loose and allowing the creative juices to flow.
"Everyone gets to experiment and do something you might not do on a regular basis," Weaver said. "You have these restaurants that come to Mélange to do these crazy extravagant plates that are completely different and it blows people's minds."
Participants this year include Sunburst on Montgomery, The Gateway Club, The Sweet Onion, Herren House, Frogs Leap Public House, Waynesville Inn, Laurel Ridge County Club, Harrah's Cherokee, City Bakery, Lake Junaluska, Bocelli's, Frog Level Brewing, Bear Waters Brewing and Tipping Point Brewing.
"Making Mélange into a weekend to showcase what I can do here excites me so much," Briggs said. "I get to shine doing what I do best. It gives everybody in the community that little extra edge to express themselves during this weekend."
But, above all, the weekend is about getting the word out that the local culinary scene is emerging, and the only way it can go is up.
"The main thing with this weekend of events is that it's a great way to show what's going on in this area just as the tourist season is starting," Raymond said. "It gives people in the county a chance to see and taste things they might not realize are here."
"We're trying to keep one foot in the past and one in the future," Weaver added. "We're definitely focused on the future and what needs to change, for the better. But, at the same time, we're championing our past and the heritage of this area."

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has warned about Iran's 'increasing willingness to contemplate' terrorism around the world. He cited an attempt to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the US, plus alleged involvement in recent attacks in New Delhi, Georgia and Bangkok.
Increasing willingness to contemplate – is that what they call it nowadays?
What about all the opponents assassinated over all these years whilst they went about their business as usual. Any serious opponent of the regime will have stories to tell you – from phone calls we have received threatening us with death to our loved ones being interrogated, threatened and imprisoned in Iran due to our activities as a way of exerting pressure.
The well known cases of assassinations abroad are that of Shahpour Bakhtiar in Paris and the Mykonos four in Greece where a German court found the regime directly responsible for the murders. But there have dozens more. Most will not know of the assassinations of Gholam Keshavarz in Cyprus or Fereydoun Farokhzad in Germany because of the cosy relationship western governments have had with Iran. And it continues to this day.
In 2010, Daryush Shokof was abducted in Germany and beaten and threatened for 13 days by the regime's agents. Of course nothing was done.
That same year, Babak Shadidi, a member of the Worker-communist Party of Iran, confessed and thereby foiled an assassination attempt on my party's leadership. Again nothing was done. [Read more…]

The entire GOP machine is built around deception, fraud, and lies.
This is just Exhibit Z in a long line of dirty tricks.Hide replies
Fraud and deception is on oth sides. How quickly we forget about Mr Demit from Racine
It - are you really taking the approach that there are no Dem's trying to game the election? Did it even for a moment cross your mind that their could have been a legitimate mistake?
Further and most importantly, both side will have "concerned citizens" watching this election, but ultimately, the final calls in any place of voting will be made by the government officials, not poll watchers from either side.
This guy is running for President. It is a very stupid sloppy mistake.
Pony - Romney had nothing to do with writting the materials!
MillerMan, according to the story, the Romney campaign said "we stand by the accuracy of our training materials".
If the Romney campaign (and, by extension, Mittens himself) has nothing to do with this stuff, why does the Romney campaign call it "OUR training materials" (emphasis mine)?
Miller: If his campaign does it, he is ultimately responsible. You'd say the same about the President.
I am so sick of this need for republicans to to suppress voting. We need some people at the polls watching for voter suppressors.Hide replies
You don't think the DNC will have people at the polls
Dig up proof, while you are at it dig up poof that they are telling lies like your fine upstanding fundamentalists.
Actually there is a link to it in the article... They have proof already. Romney/Ryan square on the front.
@Forward: No, I don't. You don't Sykes or any of the other right-wing mouthpieces wouldn't be bawling if that wasn't the case? No. This is desperation.
Yes make sure there are no peple from the RNC there so you can vote early and vote often and try not getting caught
So says the old Republican couple who got off with a slap on the wrist. Gotta love Charlie Sykes stirring up fear and prejudice.
Then, Ponyup - I'm sure you are just outraged over the hundreds of people in Florida who received letters in the mail questioning their citizenship and eligibility to vote, indicating they needed to complete paperwork, etc. to be eligible. All but 1 registered republicans who received the letters....hmmmmm, nope the other side never trys anything...cmon, man.
Burbs, you're right, both sides are likely to try some things, but here in Wisconsin there's much more likely to be GOP trouble-makers. Forward is partly correct, the Dems will have some people at the polling stations. In 2008 my mother was one of them (an elderly lady), and all she was doing was watching to see if there were any GOP suppression tactics at the station she was observing, with the idea that if she saw any she would report it. I believe the Obama people will be training some folks for this again this year, but I would also encourage others who are worried about GOP suppression that they could observe their local stations and report trouble immediately to the police. I would also strongly urge Dems to resist the temptation to stoop to the kind of tactics we are expecting from the Romney folks.
That's just like the Obama team...consult with proper statewide authorities to address inaccuracies spurned from malcontented Republican actors who disseminate misinformation to our state's residents. AG Van Holland should take action to protect the legitimacy of the vote.Hide replies
What? This sounds as if you drank some bad gin. You keep talking but you're not saying anything. Buck up, Beet. Reality is your friend.
I believe AG Van Hollen is busy washing his hair this week. He will get to this next Wednesday.
Speaking of voter fraud, these Republican volunteers are urged not to identify themselves as Republicans. They're supposed to call themselves "concerned citizens." The word "Republican" might cause "animosity" says the GOP lawyer. Yeah, animosity. And vomiting.
Really the GOP is suppressing voting...how quick you are to forget the knife wheeling liberals who slashed tires. Don't forget the liberal comments of vote early and vote often. Oh yeah...Superstorm Sandy was caused by George Bush and global warming...where is Al Gore these days inventing the internet again...LOL You people are sick!!!!Hide replies
What exactly does this have to do with the Romney campaign training poll workers to disseminate false information on election day?
The fact that you don't know the difference between "wheeling" and "wielding" is very telling
Nice that you can admit you were busted for trying to suppress vote by slashing tires
Oh I forgot all the information that comes from Obama and Biden is the truth....You must believe everything on the internet is true also. Keep drinking the cool-aid. How much Obama money did you get? Did you get your IPhone too?
Sorry but Romney doesn't deserve a benefit of the doubt.
Wow...just fell off the turnip truck, did we BBQer?
I don't know if they can expect much from Van Hollen. He is part of the appeal for more voter suppression. If the voter ID law only contained the requirement for an ID that would be benign, but they have made so many changes to access. They have increased residency requirement, decreased the amount time for early votes, etc, etc. If they could actually get rid of the constitution and rewrite it, they would. And believe me only the affluent would have the right to vote.
Watch this short debate Biden vs. Biden
then tell us you're OK with this guy a heartbeat away from the presidency for another 4 years.Hide replies
Defending lies to get your guy elected, where is that responsibility you fundies are always talking about?
As opposed to Ryan? This guy can't even clean a dirty dish, he has to have one that's already clean, and all the diners at the soup kitchen have to already be gone.
And by the way, Biden has been involved in foreign policy for decades on the senate foreign relations committee under presidents of both parties, and as a former chair of that committee. Few Americans have more foreign policy experience than Joe Biden.
I guess if you don't need a photo to vote then you are out of luck for putting anything on layaway at Walmart, KMart, Target or picking up a site to store package because THEY REQUIRE A PHOTO ID!!!! How dare they prove who you are. Ever try cashing a check anywhere? They ask for your ID.Hide replies
Is your right to put a product on layaway at Walmart guaranteed by the constitution?
That is how seriously republicans take the rights of others. They figure if you aren't doing it their way, the constitution doesn't cover you. Obtuse is what they call it.
youre gonna need an id to be treated with Obammacare...
You act like Obamacare is a insurance company. I could talk to a thousand republicans and they'd use the same old talking points from the last 4 years. You aren't half as clever as your mother tells you. Keep that in mind.
That's the GOP way, if you can't convince them then create fear......Hide replies
What fear.....why would someone who has nothing to hide fear voting?
You must don't know your own history. These tactics really aren't new. They have come in many forms.
Again you can't answer what fear... I have nothing to hide when I vote, so no matter who is there checking for anything I don't care
Someone who has NOTHING to hide will have no fear regardless of who's checking what
Why are you defending these obvious lies, Forward?
I'm not defending them. The statement is correct with the added line that some may be able to vote.
However you have not answered why would anyone who is able to legally vote fear suppression
Why does the Romney campaign feel the need to lie? Here is the packet http://www.scribd.com/doc/111511311/Romney-Volunteer-Observer-Training
Hey jams. Any answer as to why you would be concerned about someone who has nothing to hide will feel threaten
I would like all eligible voters to be able to vote and I would also like these criminals to be punished.
What criminals? Do you have mental illness?
I don't think I understand your question, who is hiding anything?
Okay Jams I misunderstood your question. I frankly think they will be shamed, but as far as criminal charges, they probably won't stick.
Forward, lots of people fear all kinds of things they don't need to, and they act on those fears. For example, lots of people are afraid of Obama because of something superficial or false (he's black, a socialist, etc) and vote for the other guy because of that irrational fear. The tactics the GOP plans to employ play on the irrational fears of some people, but the bigger thing they play on is people's lack of self-confidence that they know their own rights. If someone authoritative-looking strongly suggests that people in category X or category Y can't vote and that trying to vote would be a felony, a lot of people will be affected by that. If you don't believe this, just watch it sometime, it's something happening at a lot of polling stations.
To me ThinkProgress is nothing but an al-Qaeda front group. ThinkProgress is an enemy of America.

Often I take something apart and when I go to reassemble it, I don't remember which side the washer was on. When there's only one washer, does it generally go on the nut side (pressed up against the nut) or the bolt side (pressed up against the bolt)?
If there was only one washer, it generally will go on the nut side as the nut has less surface area in contact with the thing being connected than the bolt side.
Washers are used for multiple purposes when mechanical parts are assembled using bolts and nuts. Here are some usages and as you can see it is not likely that a generalized answer can be devised to directly answer your question!
Many times washers will play a role that is a combination of the above usages. One common example is to see a lock washer used along with a larger diameter flat washer.
If there is only one washer used with a nut/bolt, it usually goes on the nut side.
The nut in most circumstances is more movable, and is more commonly turned to tighten the assembly. The washer helps prevent damage to the surface of the object being fastened. In most cases where the bolt is easier to turn, the bolt has a round head that will cause less damage anyway.
For the same reason, lock washers always go on the nut side to stop the nut moving. Lock washers are almost always used with a flat washer as well.
The nut is also often smaller in profile than the bolt head. Not always, but often. The washer helps distribute the pressure that the nut places on the surface of the fastened objects.
Triple use (as I saw after years of mechanics) :
1) Washers are ofter used to avoid grinding of the support when you screw the nut.
2) Washers avoid the bolt head or the nut to penetrate/damage the support.
3) Washers help things moving in boltened assemblies if you oil them a bit (eg. articulations).
Following Niall C comment : observation and a bit of logic will make you put the washer on the right place, now you know what it can do.
If you are fastening pieces of lumber together you will want to put washers on both the nut and bolt head sides. Otherwise as was pointed out it generally goes inside of the nut, outside of and against the fastened piece.
Generally when bolting up you insert the bolt through the various components that are being bolted together, place a washer over the thread and then secure the nut. Normally you do not want to rotate the bolt inside the components being held together. The washer provides a smooth relatively friction free surface on which the nut can rotate. If you are interested in a torque value to set the bolt, it is not possible to allow for the friction of the bolt shank rotating inside the components being bolted together as this is a vastly varying value whereas the nut on its thread up against a washer gives reasonably consistent torque values. If the member under the head of the bolt is badly corroded or the hole is worn large then you may consider a washer under the bolt head to provide a better distribution of the load.
I generally agree with the consensus that the lock washer should butt against the nut. I have had times where this was not practical (inadequate space on the nut end, for one), and I did not hesitate to use the lock washer on the bolt side. This is no sin, and functions almost as well as the other way. Consider: What you have is a steel ring, cut in one place. Then, the two ends are bent so they are not in the same plane, then tempered to form a basic spring. Therefore, when the nut is threaded against the lock washer, it takes substantial force to flatten the lock washer back to a single plane. Because it is spring steel, it does not simply bend the washer back to flat; the force applied is retained as potential energy stored in the washer. pushing back against the nut, hence discouraging the nut from coming loose. It will not allow the nut to vibrate loose, as this counter force prevents any space developing where physical vibration can occur. The same affects apply, if one puts the lock washer against the bolt. I think it is safe to say that the control of vibration (loosening) would be slightly better on the nut side, because the same spring force need constrain a somewhat smaller mass of the nut. I posit that the difference in effectiveness would be hard to measure, whatever side one puts the lock washer on. Usually, if there is only one flat washer, it too, will go on the nut end. Besides applying a more even fastening pressure, this practice provides a nice flat surface for the lock washer to contract against.
When there's only one washer, that could be due to someone forgetting to put on a second washer during initial assembly, or when the item in question was last taken apart and reassembled - there's no absolute guarantee that where the washer was, before you took it off, is where it's supposed to go.
While the odds favor putting the washer under the nut, rather than under the head, there are so many variables to consider that a simple 'always under the nut' answer is more misleading than useful.
Best thing to do is look at the situation, and decide where it seems to make the most sense to put the washer. Some trial & error might be necessary, and/or the addition of a second washer, and/or a lock washer, etc.
Chances are that you wouldn't be taking the thing apart in the first place, if it had been working perfectly, so making changes might be an improvement.

In a time when everything from artificial tans to calf implants has become culturally acceptable, for some reason genitals usually get left out of the body-decoration process. The only real option until recently was choosing between carpet or hardwood floors.
Not anymore! Now you have exciting options like ...
#7. Vajazzling
Originally a high-end spa treatment where a wax job was finished by attaching Swarovski crystals in decorative patterns to the waxed area, vajazzling was introduced to the mainstream by Jennifer Love Hewitt, who is apparently something of a matron saint of this and a huge aficionado herself.
Have fun with that mental image, folks.
The Drawbacks:
We're talking about gluing sharp and pointy objects to your crotch. There's no way any of these could come loose and wind up in, uh, an uncomfortable place, right? After all, the crotch-bedazzling process is done only by professionals, so ... oh, wait -- no. Here's VDIY vajazzling kits right here!
The art of pimping the poontang by gluing glittery stones to it could -- and should -- have remained an exclusive and expensive form of madness reserved for the rich, jaded and unnecessarily masochistic. But apparently after the lovely Miss Hewitt broke the news to the public, someone smelled money and brought it to the masses.
And because everything apparently needs to be horribly, horribly unisex, there are also male versions of this called, no shit, penazzling ...
It may seem absurd but we guarantee that right now there's one misguided individual out there who is grabbing the nearest bottle of glue and rhinestones right now.
#6. Bulge-Enhancing Underwear
Where most women make every effort to be discreet about the whole crotch area (more on that in a moment), men seem to be decidedly more gung-ho about reminding the world they have genitals. Bulge-enhancing underwear is easily the most mainstream item on this list, with large store chains and big-name designers fighting to sell you their particular brands of synthetic testicular elephantiasis. You can even get dick-enhancing swimwear, to make everyone at the pool party extremely uncomfortable.
Yeah guy, you're cool now.
The Drawbacks:
While bulge-enhancing underwear is the equivalent of your balls moving into a mansion, there is surprisingly no room in there for anatomical accuracy. Most of the packages on these briefs look less like actual dongs and more like one of your ass cheeks got lost on the front of your body. They are such absurd and ill-defined lumps that any woman with rudimentary knowledge of male genitalia should absolutely be concerned for the health of the wearer. At the risk of getting too graphic, some of these brands either forgot or don't care that the base of most wangs isn't directly below the belly button.
#5. The Cuchini Cameltoe-Hiding Apparatus
As we alluded to, women have the opposite problem of the crotch-enhancing males. Thus we have the Cuchini, a device for the ladies designed to hide cameltoe when they're wearing bathing suits.
According to the manufacturers, the Cuchini is meant to cover the ridges of the mons pubis area, providing a smooth and camouflaged appearance. So, yeah, basically a pillow you stick in your bikini bottom in order to spare yourself from the supposed crippling embarrassment of owning a vagina.
The Drawbacks:
The Cuchini uses adhesive to stay in place, and you're going to be using it in water. We're going to say that either they're using an adhesive so strong you wouldn't want it anywhere near your lady parts, or that this thing is going to slip around. Maybe it'll roll up and make the wearer look like she's hiding way more than a cameltoe.
The mascot for Cuchini is also worth mentioning because it, like the product itself, hides the taboo tools of human sexuality behind something exponentially more bizarre. We're fairly certain the mascot is supposed to be an anthropomorphized camel, but it looks more like a woman with a shaved giraffe's head, mangled fingers and a snapped neck.
One that can also, evidently, fart stars.
#4. The BibHanger Genital Weighting System
When we say that devices like this are intended to make your penis bigger, let's make it clear that they are purely cosmetic. Penis lengtheners and even surgeries can make your junk look bigger, perhaps, but their effect on the actual boner is questionable and, at worst, horrifying.
And so we arrive at the subject of the BibHanger. Behold:
You may not know what you're looking at there, until you see the "weight attachment" hook at the bottom. That torture trap is just the commercial version of a trend in the penis-enlargement community. "Hanging" is just what it sounds like: You hang weights from your penis to make it look bigger. Knowingly taking countless actual, horrible health risks ranging from simple to "oh God this can never be undone."
"Yeah, I'm sitting pretty at 11 inches right now. I can't ever have another erection, but whatevs. Totally worth it."
The Drawbacks:
Some active hangers might want to make the argument that unlike most training programs, the BibHanger actually has a chance of increasing their penile length and even girth. And while they're quick to point out that the process is very similar to bodybuilding, what they leave out is that achieving any visible results at all will take years. Years of dangling junk from your junk. Years of maintaining a risky workout program where one little mistake can and will incapacitate your dick, forever.
In other words, hanging is for life. This seems a bit redundant, as women -- even those impressed by penis size alone -- tend to become uncomfortable when their man periodically hangs stuff from his junk in their living room.
An actual BibHanger training program.
Another scary thing: The BibHanger is the safest option. The Internet is full of instructions for building your very own dick rack from scratch, like this one made from tube socks, shoelaces, empty milk bottles and the subliminal whispering of Castratia, the goddess of severance.

It's the first day of fall, anyone else sort of sad?
Don't get me wrong, I actually love fall, the leaves changing, the cooler weather, going to the festivals...but I am really going to miss summer. It feels like it came and went way too fast. And moving in to fall only means winter is right around the corner.
22 Answers answer
Since I live in central Florida, I'm not sad. ;-) All "Fall" means here is, perhaps, a lowering of the humidity & temps going down below the 90's. And that is a 'bit' refreshing.
Though there are trees here that lose their leaves, the vast majority of trees, bushes, shrubs, grass etc. stay green year round. Grew up in & lived in 4 season climates; don't miss that. Always hated the barren trees...the freezing temps, the snow, sleet..... I AM sad for those who live in cold climates and don't like it. Okay, I'll shut up now. :-|
TL;DR No. :-D
Nope, I'm making a pot of soup and baking a pie :)
We've had sun for 3 straight months here in Seattle so I'm sure as the weeks of clouds and rain roll in it will get old quick. But for now its OK.
As a person who hates hot weather and loves football, I have a two word answer for you: hell no
Sad? Not at all. I love fall! And, especially since I live in Texas, I don't mind winter. It gets a bit cold at times and there's usually an ice storm or two that make driving a bit tricky for a couple of days (or sometimes just a couple of hours). But it's sooooo much better than "I can't go outside without my bucket in case I start melting" summer weather.
I'm a little sad. Summer is my favorite time of the year because I love baseball and all the festivals, fairs and events. It doesn't get hot here and this summer was very mild. I am bummed because it's already cool enough to turn on the heater in the morning.
Fall is pretty, though, and I do like that crisp feeling in the air. I just don't like to be cold :(
Fall is my favorite season. Not sad at all.
Summer is hot and humid... has its advantages but also a PITA (electricity and thus A/C is very expensive).
Winter is cold and bleak, but overall is probably better than summer and certainly no worse.
Spring is pretty nice also, but I think I like Fall better overall.
WooooooHoooooo......FALL IS HERE!
...in case that was too subtle. Nope!
Fall is my favorite season, and I just finished up a fantastic summer, so today is actually a pretty great day.
only if the Great Pumpkin is a no show this year
Is the weather today so drastically different than yesterday that it makes you sad? That's kind of weird.
Decide for yourself that it will be summer for two more weeks. Why not? It's just a label applied to a list of days. The transitions between the seasons don't happen overnight. They happen over a period of months.
Be happy that you have the health to enjoy Summer and just ignore the calendar!
The Bleakwinox wont hit Texas until like mid - late October.
thumbs through old Farmers Almanac
Are you kidding? I LOVE the cool weather. Especially now that I have a job that involves standing outside all day and running around. The Summer nearly killed me! Here's to Fall and Winter!
Love the fall colors, football, and the harvest fresh off the farm food but....not ready for the nights so cool already, short days and I have not finished (or even close) my summer to do list. I love the great warm days we had this summer!
Yes and no, I miss the hours of daylight, but love the cooler weather and rustle of the falling leaves.
God no. Phoenix is nasty until fall. It's still 105 and I'm waiting for that crap to break.
No sadness here....fall is a welcome break from +100° temps and approximately the same humidity.
If fall didn't lead to winter, I would probably enjoy it. As it is I spend most of fall dreading the approach of winter. I will probably enjoy fall for another couple weeks (as it feels like it has been fall here for two weeks already) and make all of my cold-weather food favorites. After that, it will be all missing the sun and the ability to go outside without bundling up, and regretting having to have the heat on in the house. So yes, I am sort of sad.
Fall is my favorite time of the year! Love the change of colors, and crispness in the air...the leaves on the ground -- it's beautiful!
Not to mention bonfires and pumpkin patches!
This situation always happen during the time of changing seasons, it's normal.
It always makes me very sad to see my trees putting their leaves away and battening down for winter. Very few leaves turn colors here, they just get brownish and drop, so we don't get the beautiful autumns like in cooler parts of the country. Even though it doesn't get very cold here, I still much prefer summer over winter. Keep a good thought for my mulberry tree. We had two rare freezes in the past two winters, and the one two years ago was catastrophic and killed probably half the plants in the city. The mulberry which dominates my back yard seemed to be okay last year, but started failing this summer and had to be pruned back to almost nothing. The tree service said to pray for it, because if we have another hard winter I am going to lose it. I lost three smaller trees already to the freeze, I can't stand to lose this one. It is literally the #2 reason why I bought this house.
@sunnyx0r: And the windows closed! I hate having to close the windows for months.
Interesting. I grew up in NY City with hard freezes just about every winter. Never seemed to hurt our mullberry trees. I wonder if it is a different variety or what.
Pulling for your tree though. Hope it survives.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A collegiate baseball team is back in Junction City and officials say the presence of a new team is not only good news for local baseball fans but will also help boost the economy.
Members of the Junction City Community Baseball Club revealed at a press conference Tuesday morning that a summer collegiate team called the "Junction City Brigade" is coming to town.
Club president Cecil Aska says he thinks the team will "re-energize the whole sport of baseball in the area."
"The first thing we wanted to do was bring baseball to Junction City. The second thing that we wanted to do is provide affordable, quality family entertainment for our community. We also want to strive to enhance all efforts for our local baseball youth programs. We truly believe that we can make Junction City a destination place where people can come to see quality baseball played in a fantastic atmosphere.," Aska added during the press conference.
The team will play their games at the historic Rathert Stadium on West 13th Street and it is attracting players from Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Central Missouri, Southern Arkansas University and students from junior colleges across the area.
"There is no doubt in our mind that people will come from throughout the region to watch baseball here," said Rick Dykstra with the Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
General Manager Mike Heldstab added: "Not only will we have a direct impact for the sales tax here from Rathert Stadium and the Junction City Brigade but we'll have a lot of folks coming in, whether it be teams, their families, their fans, siblings- everybody will be coming here from these other towns such as Hayes, Topeka, Rossville, Wichita, El Dorado, and even a team from Oklahoma is coming up. We'll have a lot of money spent in the community at restaurants, gas stations, hotels, motels. It will be pretty much an all-around good economic boost for the community…. We love baseball and we love to come out and watch a good game but this was something bigger than that. This was something about our community and making the whole place better."
Heldstab says for the players, it's a great way to hone their skills and be seen by scouts.
A collegiate team called "The Generals" played in Junction City from 2005-2010 and members of the community as well as businesses and agencies worked together for two years and with the help of private donations, they are bringing baseball back to the area.
"This is a great baseball community. The support that we had at games was fantastic. The community really rallies behind these kids and the kids love it here," said Coach Shane Sieben, who also helped coach the Generals team.
Opening day will be June 1, 2013 at 7 PM against the Rossville Rattlers.

What is the correct word to use here and why:
I will get there quicker [than you]
I will get there faster [than you]
There must be similar adverbs for "slower".
What is the correct word to use here and why:
There must be similar adverbs for "slower".
The definition of the two words makes them synonymous in virtually all cases. However, they do have slightly different connotations that lead to preference in usage. I generally think of something as "fast" if it can achieve a high speed. I think of something as "quick" if it responds rapidly to input. This generally leads to preference of one word over the other in context; "fast" is used in context of speed, while "quick" is used in context of time. So, you would travel fast to get somewhere quickly.
In the same vein, "quick" is used to describe the quality of an action that is short and powerful, e.g. a "quick head-fake". "Fast" is generally used to describe actions that are more sustained, e.g. "a fast sprint down the field".
None of this is concrete; you hear of someone, say in a race, having "the fastest time" much more often than "the quickest time". Clearly, the context is time, not speed, but use of "fast" is preferred anyway.
In sports, fast typically refers to speed and quick is more likely to refer to reflexes.
Faster is a comparison of speed. (100mph v 120mph) Quicker is a comparison of time. (10min v 20min)
In modern conversation they are often used interchangeably.
According to the entries in Dictionary.com for fast and quick, they are almost exact synonyms, and neither is incorrect.
If you want a quick answer, read no further than this: choose whichever you have heard most or whichever sounds right to you. If you're not sure, remember that you can't go far wrong when you are choosing between fast and quick.
To expound, from my experience, I would say that "getting somewhere quicker" is less commonly used than "getting somewhere faster", and if I were to choose between your examples, I would tend toward the more common word faster. A good general rule for colloquial or casual speech or writing is: use the word that is most readily known and understood.
The difference between quick and fast is very slight. In your examples, I believe faster is the more usual word; hence I would use it. However, in the sentence "A humane death is quick and painless", fast would not be my choice, because "fast death" is much less common than "quick death". Also, as you have already read, I used the word quick when referring to my shorter answer (higher up). That is because a "fast answer" did not sound as usual to me.
In cases like this, in which there are two synonyms being decided between, you have a lot of freedom, and ultimately you ought to choose which, from your experience, is more common, and more readily understood.
Quicker means in a smaller amount of time.
Faster means at a higher rate of speed.
Compare walking to the local store with flying an B1 Bomber to Afghanistan.
The first would be quick, it might only take five minutes, but it would be slow because only walk at 3mph.
The second would not be quick, it would take 30 hours of flight time, but it would be fast, because you flew near the speed of sound.
In a 'scientific' context:
A real-life example would be as follows:
A car that could travel at 200 mph, but took an hour to get to that speed and had a 0-60mph time of 3 minutes would very fast, but not quick at all.
A car that could only travel at a top speed of 60mph, but could go from 0-60mph in half a second would be extremely quick, but not very fast.
To more directly answer your question... both are correct grammatically, and simply have slightly different connotations. The person who got there 'quicker' may have spent last time traveling. The person who got there 'faster' was traveling at a higher speed. In general, the first one is probably would people MEAN to say, though the second isn't necessarily wrong.
Most of the time, there is no difference between
In sports, one often will say that Person A is
In speech related to decisions,
I personally hear a distinct difference.
I could get there faster than you—I will be travelling using a faster method than you - taking a plane instead of a bus for example.
I could get there quicker than you—I know a short cut that you do not
UPDATE: If I get there faster than you, I will arrive before you. If I get there quicker than you, I may be there at the same time as you, but I spent less time travelling. Again this is my subjective, unsubstantiated feelings on this.
In that context, they mean the same, but in general fast refers to getting somewhere in the shortest amount of time, whereas quick refers to the ability to change direction in a small amount of time, or to accelerate/decelerate in a small amount of time.
from the Online Etymological Dictionary:
"fast may apply to rapid motion of any duration, while in quick (in accordance with its original sense of 'live, lively') there is a notion of 'sudden'"
Generally quick refers to time, fast refers to speed.
In common usage, such as basketball, "quick" refers to acceleration while "speed" refers to velocity.
In general usage, there is no difference in meaning. In this context, both words are referring to arriving at a place in a shorter amount of time.
However, to be completely correct, the first sentence should say
While faster is and can be used as both an adverb and and adjective, quicker can be used only as an adjective.

I've casually proved, as application of some ideas that I am developing, a result that might be of interest in itself. I am completely new in this field and then I would like to ask your help to understand: 1) might it be of interest? 2) Is it trivial, in the sense that it can be proved directly? 3) is it well-known?
Let me fix a planar and regular setting, even if I could state the result in more general settings: let $n\geq1$ be a fixed integer and $P=[-n,n]^2\subseteq\mathbb Z^2$. Let me fix the following notation: given $(x,y)\in P$, I will denote by $A(x,y)$ the set formed by the following at most five points: $(x-1,y),(x,y),(x+1,y),(x,y-1),(x,y+1)$, where at most means that if one of those points does not belong to $P$, then I will not consider it.
Now, the situation is the following: for any point $p\in P$, let $\gamma_p$ a walk starting on $p$ and ending on $p^+$. I suppose that: if a walk hits the boundary, then it ends. In particular, if $p\in\partial P$, then $p^+=p$.
Definition: A flow is a family of walks $\gamma_p$, one for each $p\in P$, such that: for all $p\in P$, whenever $q\in A(p)$, then $q^+\in A(p^+)$.
My result would be: Given a flow of walks, there is at least one walk which does not hit the boundary.
I was thinking that it might be useful to prove that some walks are bounded, but I repeat that I am really new in this field.
Every comment is welcome and also references are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Which is best? WD TV Live, Boxee, Apple TV, or Roku?
Wondering which home media streaming appliance is the best. I want to use it for streaming video on my network, Netflix, Pandora, etc.
16 Answers answer
Good luck on getting a definitive answer on this. All I can say is that I have a Roku. I love it and because of it, I got rid of cable. I have several D-Link products that all perform well, so the Boxee Box (not actually developed by D-Link) does intrest me. I haven't picked one up yet, but I probably will sometime over the next year. I've heard that they may have rushed it out into the marketplace (something that happens all too often) and that they are still refining it. All I can say is that the Roku work for me.
I have both an Apple TV and a Roku and I love them both. They each add something a little different to the media streaming experience. Both do Netflix, and I like the access to Amazon Video on the Roku better than the prices for renting on iTunes from the Apple TV. However, the ability to link and stream from your computer's iTunes account and your iPad/iPhone/iPod with Apple TV is awesome. Roku also has the ability to add channels like Crackle, Hulu Plus, etc, that you can't add to an Apple TV. I'm glad that I have both for their different capabilities.
Thanks for your input! I have a WD TV Live right now but I'm actually less than impressed by it. It does ok, but the interface is not great. I'm thinking of trying out the Roku and see how it goes. Thanks again!
I've used both the Roku XD and the WD TV Live Plus.
If you just want to do online instant streaming and want to get up as quickly as possible, get the Roku (I would recommend the XD because the USB port on the XDS is useless almost). The problem with the Roku is, sometimes the wireless can be a bit unstable. I do love my Roku though, it does almost every instant streaming service provided you find a plugin (Vimeo, MLB.TV, Hulu Plus, Netflix, Pandora, etc).
If you want some instant streaming capability, but want to play video off of other computers and mostly offline files, then get the WD TV Live Plus. It is more difficult to set up though and doesn't have wireless built in.
I've used Boxee and XBMC on my computers and I didn't like the interface.
@hackman2007 is right about the the flaky wireless of the Roku. Even with my 'N' set-up I had issues. I eventually hard-wired via an ethernet cable and it works like a champ. I realize some peolpe have aesthetic issues with wires, but it was not a problem for me because mine are in the walls.
@hackman2007: Good to know about the wireless issues. I do have the WD TV Live setup via a wired ethernet cable, so I could just swap it for the Roku without much hassle, I think...
I initially had a problem with the wireless on my Roku, but I did a firmware update for my wireless router and have never had any issues since
@weemdog: You can.
@3dgraphics: I tried that and nothing changed, but honestly, I was running wires/cables in my walls anyway at that time for a home theater set-up, so I never tried anything else but the ethernet cable after the firmware update failed help me.
@weemdog: Then you should be fine. I do have mine on wireless and it works fine. I just thought I would let you know in case you find yourself cursing at your router and the Roku :) .
After researching them all...I bought my first Roku about 7 months ago. Loved it so much, I bought my second one last month. I come from a family that never really saw the point of paying for cable, so this is a great solution for us. We run the Roku's to supplement OTA TV. The Roku is simple, not very expensive, and allows for people to write the own channels if they chose. In addition to the internet fee (which I was going to buy anyhow), I do pay for Netflix, some movies from Amazon VOD, and also have a lifetime Playon subscription. Super inexpensive way to watch movies, hgtv, food network, hulu (through playon...paying for plus is a waste in my mind) more movies, check the weather, play my own media etc. There is also a private channel to check the woot deals. And for the pervs, there are adult stations. LOL
The best deal I've seen to purchase a Roku is at BJ's wholesale club...$99 for the XDS, HDMI cable, new remote.
I've only seen/used the Roku option, but decided on it after reseatching the various offerings. I am very happy with the Roku XDS. Netflix is the channel we watch most of the time. My son loves Thomas the Tank Engine, and he can watch episodes back-to-back (with no choppiness or buffering timeouts) until his medula ruptures. Roku works great.
Thanks again for all of your input everyone! I think I will give the Roku a try and see how I like it.
Apparently Roku's are now on sale in Walmarts: Roku XD for $78.00.
I have an Apple TV (3rd gen) and a Boxee Box. While the AppleTV can do some cool stuff with pushing iTunes content to iPads, the Boxee gets used 95% of the time. It has an incredible amount of free content, and lots of extensible options for apps that bring in more content. With AppleTV, you are pretty much locked into Netflix or iTunes store for content, although anything you have on your Mac can pretty much be played, too.
The Boxee can also play essentially any media type, and can stream from your Mac and to your iPad (with a free app)
Take it from someone who has had the WD for a week, and the Roku for about 6 months, there is no comparison. I thought "well, they make decent HDD's, so I'll try one. It cost more, but it probably is better."
No, I've spent 20-25 minutes waiting for the WD media player to find stuff on my Wi-Fi, thinking that it would be a one-time deal. I've had it for a week and have gone through the process 3 times. It loses the connection and then has to go through the same process.
Then, you hit the remote, and think, "did I hit the remote?" About 1 minute of waiting and then a couple more watching an orange arrow chase its tail, and you have complete frustration.
The Roku JUST WORKS. No waiting, no wondering if you hit a button.
I'm taking the WD back.
I personally prefer WD TV. For those who live outside US like me, you can access Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Spotify and similar media stations on your WD TV by using UnoTelly or similar tools.

I ordered 'print at home' tickets from Greyhound (Binghamton to NYC), but I do not have printer at home. My university library, where I usually print, closed earlier than expected due to some reasons. What should I do now?

If you can, try an internet cafe - they usually have printers available. Alternatively, another student? If you have time, even walking into a nearby office and explaining yourself may get you a pity print ;)
Alternatively, go to the Greyhound terminal early and ask (or better call their help line). But do ask first before buying another ticket - you lose nothing by asking, and they may solve it for you easily. However, note that on their website, it says:
so you'd be lucky if you got a generous counter agent willing to do so.
What they suggest doing online is:
Why don't you just take it to a neighbour, friend, colleague who lives near you (surely someone you know must have a printer) and let them print it for you !

I work in the call centre industry and quite often find myself working with proprietary software/hardware that isn't well documented, either from the manufacturers or online.
In my downtime I would like to write about this work, both to help others who need to work with the same hardware/software in the future and also to understand things better myself.
I was thinking of starting a blog but then noticed the
Answer your own question checkbox and my question is - Is it OK to liberally use this feature any time I find myself in what I would consider to be a unique situation?
I think that this would help other people who find themselves in the same situation in the future and also myself as I am sure that I would get a lot of constructive criticism regarding how I went about solving various problems from the community.
Would using the feature in this way be considered abusive or would it be accepted?

(Cal Sport Media)Leon Hall did not have to do much besides turn and wait for Nick Foles' painfully underthrown pass to land in his hands. It was as uncomplicated an interception as you'll see, and yet it may go down as one of the most important plays during this Cincinnati Bengals season.Up until that point, about nine minutes into the third quarter of Cincinnati's 34-13 win over Philadelphia Thursday night, it was hard to distinguish the team fighting for a playoff spot from the one spiraling toward a potential coaching change this offseason.The Bengals grabbed a 10-0 lead early, but the Eagles stormed back to take a 13-10 halftime edge and had flipped field position in their favor to start the third quarter.Then, Hall's play changed everything.PETER KING'S WEEK 15 PICKSOver the next eight minutes, the Eagles coughed the ball up three more times, Cincinnati tossed 24 points on the board and that was all she wrote."We came out kind of flat; we jumped out to a big lead and got ahead of ourselves," Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis told the NFL Network. "In the second half, we buckled down and played ball."The Bengals badly needed a win in Philadelphia, just four days after letting one slip away against Dallas.That Week 14 setback kept the Bengals outside of playoff positioning in the AFC, behind division rival Pittsburgh. Thursday night's come-from-behind win, no matter how it came about, keeps Cincinnati in control of its own destiny -- beat the Steelers in Week 16 and the Ravens in Week 17, and the Bengals will be in the playoffs, possibly as AFC North champions.Cincinnati started well, forcing the first of five Eagles' turnovers on the game's second snap and cashing it in for a Green-Ellis touchdown. A blocked punt four plays later set up a Josh Brown field goal.At that point, it looked for all the world like the Bengals would coast to a blowout victory.They did, eventually, but not before Eagles quarterback Nick Foles hit Riley Cooper for a TD and Alex Henery booted a pair of field goals to flip the scoreboard.MUST-WIN WATCH: TEAMS THAT NEED A WEEK 15 VICTORYIt took Cincinnati until Hall's interception to right the ship again. Andy Dalton turned that key play into six points, shooting up the middle on an 11-yard touchdown scramble, which gave Cincinnati the lead again -- this time, for good."We just weren't clicking on all cylinders," said Dalton of Cincinnati's second-quarter drought. "We started off fast, we got great field position, we scored on our first two drives and then we kind of just came to a halt."You stay the course of the game ... that's why you play four quarters."Once Dalton put the Bengals back on top, their defense tightened the vise on Foles and the Eagles. A mere 49 seconds after Dalton's rushing TD, defensive end Wallace Gilberry scooped up a Bryce Brown fumble and took it to the house.The Eagles also fumbled the next two times they touched the football -- Clay Harbor after catching a quick pass from Foles, and Cedric Thornton trying to reel in a short kickoff.By the time Philadelphia even ran another play successfully, the Bengals led by 21, a spurt capped off by a touchdown pass from Dalton to A.J. Green."All we can control is right now," said Green of the now 8-6 Bengals. "That's the biggest thing we're doing is getting better each week. We keep making the plays, our defense keeps playing, we can take a shot at this thing."Philadelphia's implosion, both Thursday night and this season, has been difficult to watch at times. The Eagles finally showed some life last Sunday in a last-second win over Tampa Bay, then appeared headed for another upset in this one.As has been the case so often, though, the wheels fell off in a hurry.They won't receive any sympathy from Cincinnati, not with the Bengals fighting for their postseason lives. And certainly not after Cincinnati fell apart against the Cowboys, a multitude of dropped passes and late defensive breakdowns leading to a one-point loss."We definitely had our chances last week," Dalton said, "and if we could've pulled out a win in that one, it could've helped us out."Fortunately, nothing changed in the playoff race, we still control our destiny and these next two are important."The Bengals may not get quite as much help in Weeks 16 and 17 -- neither the Steelers nor the Ravens, both in need of wins themselves, figure to come unglued as Philadelphia did Thursday night. Cincinnati, however, probably figures it can avoid the mid-game trap it fell into against Philadelphia.But this one could have turned out much, much worse for Cincinnati. That hot start aside, the Bengals looked the part of a team ready to toss away an opportunity. That is, until Hall nabbed Foles' errant throw and changed the complexion of the entire game -- and, possibly, Cincinnati's season. More Audibles

text: Pop art places consumer culture in the domain of fine art creating an effect that is both playful and ironic, whilst also asking important questions about what constitutes art. Most prominent of these artists is Andy Warhol who reached superstar status in the 1960s when he began to reproduce popular images from American life such as Campell's soup cans, Elvis Presley and the electric chair. Reflecting the mechanical process in which his art was produced his studio was aptly named The Factory. This hub of bohemia became a home for New York's weird and wonderful, whilst the artist himself continued to explore ideas around celebrity, mass culture and repetition. Moreover, despite the scale of his output, his work continues to sell for staggering prices, reflecting his status as one of the most important figures in modern art. In a similar vein Roy Lichtenstein used the familiarity of comic strip to produce images that were visually striking and immediately appealing. The styles and techniques of pop art continue to be used, seen in both galleries and billboards.

MICHAEL WESLEY UTTERBACK, ) Case No. 10-13443
) Chapter 7
Debtor. )
Plaintiff, )
vs. ) Adversary No. 12-5004
Defendant. )
Defendant Michael Utterback is entitled to have Don Clevenger's complaint for a determination
of dischargeability under § 523 and for denial of discharge under § 727 dismissed only if all of the
Case 12-05004 Doc# 30 Filed 08/23/12 Page 1 of 6
material factual issues raised in it can be resolved merely by reading the pleadings in Clevenger's best
light, and, taking Clevenger's factual allegations as true, the Court must be certain that Clevenger could
not obtain relief on the facts alleged. If Clevenger has alleged facts that support his standing ability to
recover on these claims, Utterback's motions for judgment and to dismiss must be denied. To have
standing to bring these actions, Clevenger must be a creditor of Utterback. But, as the pleadings show,
Clevenger relies exclusively upon a state court lawsuit and default judgment against Utterback's former
construction company, Cobblestone Builders, Inc. as the basis for his claims in this court against
Utterback as an individual. Clevenger has no claim against Utterback and no debt that he can except
from Utterback's discharge, meaning that he lacks standing to bring this adversary proceeding. The
motions should be granted and the proceeding dismissed.
Procedural Setting
Utterback filed two motions, one for partial judgment on the pleadings on Clevenger's §
523(a)(2) and (a)(6) exceptions to his discharge and one to dismiss the balance of Clevenger's complaint
because Clevenger lacked standing to bring a general objection to discharge under § 727(c).1 Both
motions require analysis of the same pleadings that were filed here and in state court and involve
common legal elements. They may be addressed together in this combined order.
The Parties' Relationship and Litigation
In the adversary complaint, Clevenger pleads that Utterback is "an individual formerly doing
business as Cobblestone Builders, Inc."2 He incorporates by reference his petition and a journal entry
of default judgment filed in Sedgwick County District Court against Cobblestone and relies on the facts
alleged in those papers as the predicate for his § 523(a) claims against Utterback. Indeed, he alleges that
1 Adv. Dkt. 15 and 25.
2 Adv. Dkt. 1
Case 12-05004 Doc# 30 Filed 08/23/12 Page 2 of 6
"Utterback's debt to Clevenger pursuant to the judgment" should be excepted form discharge under
§ 523(a)(2) and (a)(6).3 He also alleges that Utterback's conduct in filing the bankruptcy offended several
subsections of § 727(a) and that Utterback is barred from receiving a chapter 7 discharge.
The state court petition alleges that on December 3, 2007, Cobblestone contracted with
Clevenger to remodel his home and erect a pole shed on his property. On February 5, 2008,
Cobblestone and Clevenger signed an addendum that expanded the scope of the work to include an
addition to Clevenger's house. Clevenger paid Cobblestone $36,000. After Cobblestone completed the
home remodel, it stopped work, leading Clevenger to terminate the agreement by letter on April 9, 2008,
demanding the return of $26,000 for the work he paid for that had not been done. In the letter, which
is attached to the state court petition, Clevenger stated that Cobblestone's failure to timely complete the
work was the basis for termination.4 Clevenger sued Cobblestone (but not Utterback) on December
9, 2009 for breach of contract and for promising work that it did not intend to do, a deceptive act that
he claimed violated KAN. STAT.ANN. § 50-624 of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. In the petition,
Clevenger set out that Cobblestone had breached the written contract but the only facts pleaded in
support of the KCPA claim were that Cobblestone "committed deceptive acts and practices by offering
property or services without intent to sell them."
Also attached to the adversary compliant is a state court journal entry of judgment against
Cobblestone entered May 21, 2010. The journal entry recites the same facts and allegations contained
in the petition and adds a "finding" that Cobblestone's deceptive acts "caused willful and malicious
injury to Plaintiff and his property within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6)." No such allegation was

4 Adv. Dkt. 1-2, p. 9.
Case 12-05004 Doc# 30 Filed 08/23/12 Page 3 of 6
pled in the state court petition and is accordingly disregarded.5
Utterback filed his bankruptcy petition on October 7, 2010. After Clevenger received several
extensions of time in which to file objections to Utterback's discharge, he filed this complaint on
January 6, 2012. In it, he alleged that Utterback omitted assets, misstated facts in his schedules and
statement of financial affairs and that Utterback had withheld documents from Clevenger in Rule 2004
examinations. Those allegations are the basis of plaintiff's § 727(b) general objections to discharge in
Count I. In Count II, plaintiff alleges that "Utterback's debt to Clevenger pursuant to the judgment shown
in Exhibit B [the default judgment], and Utterback's statements and actions found true therein" represent
a debt that should be excepted from Utterback's discharge for fraud under § 523(a)(2) and willful and
malicious damage under § 523(a)(6).6 Defendant answered timely and now seeks to dismiss the § 727
claims for lack of standing and the § 523 claims because they are time-barred. In his response, plaintiff
says, for the first time, that Cobblestone's acts should be imputed to Utterback because he is the alter
ego of the company and that Utterback is liable for Cobblestone's debt to plaintiff.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) allows the court to dismiss a complaint for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction.7 Without standing to sue, plaintiff cannot invoke the subject matter jurisdiction of this
court. Motions for judgment on the pleadings are governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) and may be filed
at any time after the pleadings are closed. In deciding a motion for judgment, the Court must determine
whether all the material issues in the case can be resolved by recourse to the pleadings alone, but if the
5 See KAN. STAT. ANN. § 60-254(c) (prohibiting the taking of a default judgment different in
kind from that pled); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(c). It should also be noted that a corporate entity is not in
any event granted a chapter 7 discharge in bankruptcy. See 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(1).
6 Adv. Dkt. 1, ¶¶ 21 & 22.
7 Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7012 incorporates Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)-(i) in adversary proceedings.
Case 12-05004 Doc# 30 Filed 08/23/12 Page 4 of 6
non-moving party's pleadings contain facts that would support a recovery, the motion must be denied.8
At issue is whether any material issue of fact is presented and only if the movant can establish that it is
entitled to judgment as a matter of law can the court enter judgment under Rule 12(c).9
Clevenger lacks standing to bring either of the claims alleged in the complaint against Utterback.
First, he made no claim and holds no judgment against Utterback; his only judgment is against
Cobblestone. The only claim asserted against Utterback in the complaint is that "Utterback's debt to
Clevenger pursuant to the judgment shown in Exhibit B [the default judgment], and Utterback's statements and
actions found true therein" support exceptions to Utterback's discharge.10 He alleges no conduct of
Utterback, only that the corporate judgment is Utterback's obligation. He alleges no facts that would
support a finding that Utterback intentionally deceived him, only that Utterback's company breached
its agreement. In the state case, Clevenger made no claim against Utterback personally and the state
court made no findings concerning Utterback's conduct whatsoever. All Clevenger does here is make
the bald allegation that the judgment against the corporation is "Utterback's debt." The absence of any
economic or legal relationship between Utterback and Clevenger is fatal to Clevenger's standing.
As Utterback shows, only a creditor, a trustee or the United States Trustee may assert a general
objection to discharge under § 727.11 Likewise, only the "creditor to whom such debt is owed," may
seek to have the debt excepted from the debtor's discharge under § 523.12 The term "creditor" is defined
8 See 5C Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. § 1368.

Mullaney, 197 B.R. 942, 945 (D. Colo. 1995).
10 Adv. Dkt. 1 [emphasis added].
11 See § 727(c).
12 Section 523(c)(1).
Case 12-05004 Doc# 30 Filed 08/23/12 Page 5 of 6
in the Bankruptcy Code at § 101(10) as an entity that has a claim against the debtor. A "claim" is a right
to payment or a right to an equitable remedy for failure of performance. A "debt" is the liability on a
claim. Clevenger has not filed a claim against the debtor Utterback in the bankruptcy case, nor did he
assert any such claim in state court.13 Clevenger is a state court creditor of Cobblestone, but he is not
a creditor here.
In reaching this conclusion, I disregard plaintiff's reference in the briefs to the alter ego theory
being a basis for his having a cause of action against Utterback in this court. All that I consider are the
complaint, the answer, and their attachments. Nothing in them even hints of any the well-known
elements that a creditor must establish to render an individual responsible for the debts of a corporation
in which he has an ownership interest.14 Not being a creditor, Clevenger lacks standing to proceed
against Utterback on either count of his complaint, thereby depriving the court of subject matter
jurisdiction of this adversary proceeding.
Having concluded that this complaint should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction under Rule
12(b)(1), I need not reach the issue of whether any action against Utterback is barred by the state law
statute of limitations or any other matters raised in the motion papers. The defendant's motions for
judgment and to dismiss are therefore GRANTED and the adversary proceeding is DISMISSED.

BetFred and William Hill have reportedly declared bankruptcy after losing an unprecedented 100 million pounds on the recent AC Milan Under-20s vs. Triestina Under-20s Under-20s Cup Final.
The Triestina Under-20s were given silly odds despite being:
- Under-20s Cup winners for around 6 seasons in a row
- Winners of their Under-20s league for over 10 consecutive seasons
- Habitual scorers of over 120 goals in the Under-20s league alone per season, with a goal difference always above +100, with 120 goals alone scored this season
I'm curious to know how these odds were calculated!
Alright, I did put my best striker in (he was recovering from injury) but Milan fielded their second-choice goalkeeper and third-choice centre-back (one of my former players, actually - bet he wished he'd stayed with me!).
The Stranraer Football Gazette really keen to get the exclusive here.
A bit unusual. lol
I won the Premier League and the Champs. League and Arsenal won the UEFA Cup, came 3rd.
I also won Euro '08 with the Serbs but it was a fluke and I did really bad in World Cup Quals, resigned and now I am Manager of Australia.
Glad to hear that Arsenal aren't dominating everything.
This is on FM08 though
Lovers of good defending, look away.
What I find most bothersome is that a goalkeeper that concedes 8 can get a rating of 6, and one who concedes 5 get a rating of 7.
There's also some rather disturbingly generous ratings for the defenders...
Noticed that it was 10 minutes away from this so waited whilst watching Liverpool get my hopes up:
Ha ha, need to be spot on to get that one!
Dick Advocaat
He's been around for years.
Isn't he managing Zenit now?
Can you find the odd one out?
Maybe the odd thing is that 10 everton lads are in team of the week
yeah they beat us 2-0 and got 10 players in lol
Is that due to something like it being the only game of the week, or if a single midweek game is played the best XI turns out like that or something?
Edit - it's happened to someone else as well:

With a few of my closest friends being Spurs fans, I happen to know that if this happened, the reception for him would be far from warm.
Chelsea signed Wright-Phillips again too!
i find this result quite funny

this is a weird coaching choice
Mexico actually have a selection of world-class potential players in their side. Not totally surprising, could easily be done in the game with a kind draw.
"For the Fans !? :confused: "
Valon plays hor himself and nobody else.
or Perhaps you had some crowd violence and the match was a lockout. so I could understand his anger at the coaches comment to do it for the fans when the stadium is empty.
Hardly hilarious, but I thought it was amusing.
Not traditionally funny, but you'd hope to get more support than this.
Guess where my money, won't be coming from
Does anyone watch Family Guy around here?
LOL Ajax. that just made me think of Surfin' Bird from last weeks family guy on bbc3
Dos Santos suggested I sign Marquez. A Mexican. With Flu.
Sell him to Tottenham
The Marquez one was bloody brilliant
Anyone care to guess how many goals my Under-20s will score in their next league game?
I'm also insulted that they are still second behind a near-flawless Juventus. My goal difference is obviously much higher than theirs! Ugh...
http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?ima...moftheweek.jpg Found this very funny when it popped up in my inbox :P
loved the marquez one!
Jogo Bonito!
A goal on average every 4 minutes. Not much more you could ask for in this game.
Swine flu has made it to Blyth Spartans
I sent him home as you can see
Never seen that before, a player suffering from that sort of injury :o
wouldnt want the specalist to catch swine flu
I remember seeing a screenshot of that before in FM07, and everybody said Kolo Toure must have bird flu
I love the Marquez one, I was actually beginning to worry for Andres Guardado last night
Oh come on, stop making fun of the word kok! It's only Dutch for "chef" you know
this isn't as painful as it sounds?
its nice to see that my fans have all but given up on raising some money for their club
I think I have a confused regen coming through the ranks
Haha, that is a good one
maybe the euro got devalued due to some sort of crisis that would put zimbabwe to shame
or someone in accounts made a terrible miscalculation and never carried the 1.....
Defending was an option in this game, and neither side decided to take it.
Mind you, I'd love to see a game where there's a goal every 4 minutes on average!
My young goalkeeper also managed to get a rating of 7 in this match somehow.
Retiring at 19. Got fed up quickly.
Lol. maybe he was not able to buy his kits ... poor Ghanaian pay!
The FYR Macedonia manager on my game has a very short attention span.
Ilija Jovanov is one of my backup goalkeepers. FYR Macedonia is full of grey players, but for some reason, the manager picked him to play in central midfield. 8 minutes later, he realised his mistake and put on a defender (presumably switching positions around).
So now my poor goalkeeper will forever be tarnished with this outfield position.
What I do find irritating is that they hang around, unsignable, until they retire. Why don't they just... Disappear?
I'm intrigued as to how this guy's surname is pronounced. I really hope it's how I think..
Edit: Well, actually I think it's pronouced kinda like "Kuckoozcha", but I hope it isn't.

It's "Kokoshka".
About the kids retiring early, in my career game, every few months, I go to the retirements page, click on every kid under 30 retiring, and if they have a PA above 100, I delete the retirement, as they do have potential. if not, I let them retire.
I think my player got the swine Flu :confused:
lol wouldn't you send them home because seeing a specialist costs money and they will be out for longer?
