Etowah, Horse Shoe chart community growth
Published: Friday, February 20, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.

The Henderson County Planning Board unanimously accepted the small area plan for Etowah and Horse Shoe on Thursday.
Henderson County is doing small area plans for nine sections of the county. The Etowah and Horse Shoe communities were the first. Over a year ago, the board of commissioners chose seven members from the community to study major issues in Etowah and Horse Shoe and create a planning document.
The Etowah and Horse Shoe Communities Small Area Planning Committee held a public meeting a year ago and solicited input from the community. The group took that input and fleshed out a plan for the communities.
There was a lot of discussion, there was a lot of give and take, Henderson County Planning Director Anthony Starr said.
The committee then held a meeting last year and let the community review the plan. Over the last couple months, they have finalized the plan.
Committee Chairman Ken Allison said the process was difficult and the committee worked hard. The area has seen significant growth in recent years, Allison said, and the community must plan for the future.
One thing that we kept hearing was maintain the rural character of my area, Allison said.
The document, he said, covers more subjects than land use, but our committee spent the most amount of time on the subject.
The committee recommended that the county not extend waterlines into the rural and agricultural areas of the county. The county comprehensive plan made a similar recommendation, but the county commissioners have approved waterline extensions into rural areas to serve two major developments over the last two years.
The committee also addressed agriculture, which encompasses 24 percent of the land in the study area.
It recommended that the county encourage agriculture education and open a small farmers market.
A major recommendation by the committee was the creation of a Main Street along Brickyard Road. Biltmore Farms is planning a 600-unit development at the end of Brickyard Road. The committee recommended buying out residents along the road and creating a commercial area.
Many residents on Brickyard Road opposed the idea, Allison said, but the committee believes the idea makes sense. The development is on hold, but if it is built, the street will see a major increase in traffic.
It is probably not going to be the quiet, residential street it is now, Allison said.
The committee also recommended rezoning several sections of Etowah and Horse Shoe, proposed a connector road between McKinney Road and Morgan Street, and suggested studying the possibility of a sewer treatment plant.
On sewers, we recognize we have a problem, and it was a concern of residents, Allison said.
Planning Board Chairman Tedd Pearce said the group created a quality plan and believed the planning board should support the effort.
Its a good representation of how the people want to the see the area in the future, Pearce said.
But he stressed that the plan was just recommendations and had no legal authority.
This is not creating new regulations, Pearce said.
Around 20 people attended the meeting and listened to the plan. Most supported the plan, saying it tries to preserve the rural character of the community.
This is probably going to be a model for subsequent (plans), Richard Freudenberger said.
Resident Eva Ritchey said the county needs to preserve the rural areas of the county where food is grown. The county should look to enhance the green space in the county because it is one of the most valuable resources in the county, she said
Her main critique of the plan was that it contained no recommendation on clear cutting.
Trees are the front line soldiers against global warming, Ritchey said.
Etowah resident Angela Fernandini said she liked the emphasis on agriculture and keeping the area rural. She wanted to see the number of lots in a subdivision limited to 30 units to prevent major development in rural areas.
The plan next moves to the Board of Commissioners, where it can be adopted as a planning document.

Next to Browns fans, Bolts fans have it easy
I worry about the mental health of football fans in San Diego.
Four decades gone by, people, yet when has a Super Bowl victory rewarded your fevered support?
If the money tree's bigger elsewhere, your team just may pack up and move, giving you the foam finger.
It's time. Time for you find something better to do with your Sundays.
We in San Diego just can't handle all the stress and angst that oozes from you Browns fans.
"I would look my age if I didn't spend 16 weeks watching this team, and my liver would be happier, too," Cleveland transplant Bryan Gard, 36, was telling NFL Insider this week.
Gard, a past president of the San Diego Browns Backers fan club, will continue to watch the telecasts, however, and make his pilgrimages to Cleveland Browns Stadium, because that's what Browns fans do.
They're the Tex Cobb of fan bases, hands low, always leading with the chin.
From its Lake Erie source, the masochism virus has spread far and wide, the team boasting 360 Browns Backers clubs across this land and dotting nine other countries. San Diego's Browns backers, said to number 185 unfortunate souls, gather every week at a La Jolla brew spot to share in the misery.
At least they know they'll have Januarys off.
Gard, a software sales engineer who moved to New York last October, said the La Jolla spot "teems" with Browns fans, creating an overflow that "spills" out of the place.
By midseason every year, he reports, there's not so much teeming or spilling.
A check of the San Diego chapter's Web site shows photos of shiny happy people in Browns garb, pre-kickoff no doubt.
NFL Insider noticed that almost all of the fans photographed are young adults, as over-40 Browns fans have kicked off or are too worn out to get to La Jolla.
Chargers fans worry about their team moving to Los Angeles.
Browns fans already lost their team to Baltimore, and, five years later, saw the team win a Super Bowl.
A new Browns era dawned in 1999, since rewarding the faithful with zero playoff victories, 11 losing seasons and a 1-6 mark this year.
The head coach, Cleveland's fifth in seven years at the time of his hire, hadn't been a head coach anywhere else.
But when the Chargers show up on Sunday, some 70,000 fans will fill Cleveland's stadium.
Gard has broken bread with Browns Backers in La Jolla, New York, Miami, Richmond and Cleveland.
"It's the same crew of people, no matter where you go," he said.
Prideful. Resilient.
"Gluttons for punishment," he added.
With the team 1-5, one Browns fans drew up a sign. It read "11-5 starts here."
Any land sharks looking for easy marks, go to La Jolla on Sundays.

AbstractColorado Engineering, Inc (CEI) is a woman owned business with a wealth of engineering expertise in the development of ASICs, boards, software and systems for DOD radar sensor systems. In recent years a lot of signal processing applications have been implemented with a homogeneous general purpose processor environment. The driving forces for utilizing these technologies in radar signal processing architectures have been programmability and I/O flexibility. These systems lack the processing speed and latency generated by hardware specific systems that utilize FPGAs and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). These technologies execute signal processing functions on data in pipelined fashion analogous to an analog receiver. This yields the lowest latency system, which is a critical requirement in real-time radars. In most cases, this is by far is the best implementation for performance, cost, power and size. While historic FPGAs systems have programmability, they haven't had flexible I/O. The Radar Advanced Receiver/ Exciter architecture designed in this proposal satisfies the need for programmability, I/O configuration, power, and size, while maintaining the highest performance and the lowest latency.

Markets reacted positively to news yesterday the United
States Federal Reserve was planning to stop buying bonds in
The New Zealand and Australian dollars and the euro all rose
against the US dollar, putting further pressure on exporters.
The Federal Reserve's minutes for the June 17-18 meeting
indicated the Fed envisioned using overnight repurchase
agreements in tandem with the interest it pays banks on
excess reserves to set a ceiling and floor for its target
interest rates.
Craigs Investment Partners broker Chris Timms said the
minutes showed the Fed participants generally agreed its
monthly bond purchases would end in October, with a final
reduction of $US15 billion ($NZ17 billion) in the amount
bought each month of US treasury bonds and mortgage-backed
The Fed had been tapering its quantitative easing programme
by $US10 billion at each meeting this year, bringing monthly
bond purchases from $US85 billion to $US35 billion in June.
''Fed officials expressed overall confidence moderate
economic growth will continue and unemployment and inflation
will gradually move towards the central bank's targets. If
anything, there was concern recent low volatility in
financial markets showed investors were not factoring in
sufficient uncertainty,'' Mr Timms said.
Analysts found little in the minutes to suggest the Fed would
move forward its first interest rate increase, expected in
the middle of next year.
By removing the uncertainty of higher interest rates in the
near term, investors felt more comfortable investing in
sharemarkets, he said.
Higher interest rates were generally seen as bad for markets.
The Fed's exit strategy was complicated by the fact its
massive stimulus programmes had flooded financial markets
with cash and stifled daily participation in the Fed funds
market traditionally used to manage interest rates, he said.
The new reverse repurchasing facility and the interest on
overnight reserves were meant to give the Fed new tools to
influence rates once policymakers agreed they should start to
rise again.
Raising or lowering the interest on excess reserves could
encourage or discourage banks from holding money at the Fed,
Mr Timms said.

AbstractThe US Navy seeks improved capabilities to generate automatically 3-D target template data in support of the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Program. Our collective approach herein is divided between: (1) feature generation using enhancements to the IAVO TrueDEM DEM extraction tool and (2) a new high-level system called TrueTemplate that automatically builds 3-D target templates from the TrueDEM feature sets and any available a-priori knowledge about the targets and/or environment. Of prime importance for an automated solution are: - A capability to define man-made structural objects and connect these accurately to a ground DEM; - A capability to create a template with few false points; - A capability to infer building material(s) as per the modeling output; - A method for quantifying the reliability of the output; and - Emphasis on leveraging existing capabilities from both Government and Commercial off-the-shelf packages whenever possible. These 3-D data are critical for missile support; and this includes generation of reference content as well as advanced target and site modeling. Generally, commercial and DoD 3-D marketplaces are demanding robust modeling solutions of this type, which suggests an eventual commercialized solution should do well within the spirit and intent of the SBIR program.

Newly Elected Smithville Aldermen Take Office
The three recently elected Smithville Aldermen were sworn into office during a brief ceremony held following Tuesday night's special city council meeting.
Judge Bratten Cook II administered the oath of office to W.J. (Dub) White, Aaron Meeks, and Shawn Jacobs. Their terms of office officially begin at midnight and expire in two years.
The new city council is made up of Shawn Jacobs, W.J. (Dub) White, Aaron Meeks, Stephen White, and Cecil Burger. The mayor is Taft Hendrixson. The terms of Aldermen Stephen White, Burger, and Mayor Hendrixson expire in 2010.
During the special meeting, plaques of appreciation were presented to the three aldermen, Tonya Sullivan, Jerry Hutchins, Sr., and Willie Thomas whose terms are expiring.
Mayor Taft Hendrixson, reading from the plaques, said "These plaques are presented in appreciation of two years of service to the Smithville City Council, the Smithville Mayor and Board of Aldermen would like to thank you for your years of dedicated service as alderman for the City of Smithville. We appreciate the years of service that you have given to the citizens of Smithville."
Alderman Sullivan, in response said "I appreciate this board and the citizens for their support and I wish the new people good luck."
Alderman Hutchins added, " I also would like to wish the new ones coming in good luck, and congratulations to them. I hope they do a good job, and I know they will. I thank everyone who supported us."
The special meeting was held to adopt the new six million dollar budget on second and final reading and it passed unanimously following a public hearing, in which there were no public comments made from the audience.
Under the new budget, which takes effect July 1st, water and sewer rates will remain the same with no increases. Water and sewer tap fees will also remain at the same levels and property taxes will not be increased.
The budget includes a two percent pay raise for city employees and a five dollar increase per call for the volunteer firefighters, going from $15 to $20 per call.

Market Road Map
The market Road Map Service is for traders and investors who are seeking to identify the direction in which the markets are trading. This service is good for the professional player who has his or her own list of stocks and can identify which sectors are going to be the next winners. In essence, its the market update, minus the stock and option portfolios and any other analysis that does not fall under the market commentary section of the market update. ....... Once again, this service is designed for the trader who has experience and knows exactly what stocks he wants to buy or sell, and is only looking for help in terms of market direction.
We look at the markets closely here, and we examine the direction the markets are headed. Our timing is not based on trying to identify the exact top or bottom, which we feel is like trying to catch a falling dagger. It is almost impossible to predict the exact top or bottom and when one is successful one has to attribute this to luck. We have done this on occasion, but we are smart enough to state luck was involved in the exact targets being hit. What we look for is topping and bottoming signs, and to do this, we employ our highly accurate Trend Indicator, which has not let us down since its inception. The ideology is simple here, if the trend is up, we buy, if it is neutral, we sit out, though aggressive players can open long positions for until it turns negative, the outlook remains bullish, and when it is down, aggressive traders are advised to short the markets, while conservative players are advised to go into cash. This service is meant for experienced traders who are only looking for a service that helps them determine market direction. Two main updates are sent out every month and as many interim updates as necessary are sent out in between if there is any change in outlook.
Join our free newsletter to be notified when this service is ready to launch.

Cream Cheese Brownies
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 25 mins
These are my mom's creation--kind of. The brownies are Marcia Adams's "Very Best Brownies" from her Heartland cookbook. The cream cheese filling is my mom's concoction. I like that the cream cheese layer doesn't overwhelm the brownies.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 7 tablespoons cocoa (not quite 1/2 c)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1⁄2 cup pecans (optional)
Cream Cheese Layer
- 1 egg
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine butter, sugar, and cocoa in large mixing bowl.
- Add eggs, one at a time. Blend after each addition.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix until just combined.
- In another bowl, combine ingredients for cream cheese layer. Mix until smooth.
- In 9 x 13 greased baking dish, pour half of brownie batter. Smooth to even.
- Spoon the cream cheese layer into the baking dish. This shouldn't be an easily spreadable layer--we just dollop and try to smooth it out for a more even distribution.
- Use butter knife to slightly marble into bottom layer.
- Top with remaining brownie mixture. Spread as evenly as you can, then tap pan lightly on counter to level batter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes (some ovens require a full 30 to completely bake), until the top is firm to the touch. Baking too long will result in dry brownies.
- Allow to stand 15 minutes before cutting.

Wow, a rare miss for me. The cooking temp and time in this recipe was way off for me. It was too low of heat and even after 45 minutes of cooking time, the brownies were still undercooked. So I increased the heat to 400 and let it cook for 20 minutes, and it cooked perfectly. Not the best cream cheese brownies I've had, my husband likes them though. I had to pour caramel sauce over them to make them sweet, as the brownies weren't really sweet, not sure why, I followed the recipe exactly.
Yummy! I made a reduced fat version of this recipe and it turned out GREAT! I substituted the eggs with egg beaters and I used reduced fat cream cheese. I also used 1/2 the butter and replaced the other 1/2 with unsweetened applesauce.
Ah-Mazing! ;-) I really liked these. They were fudgey just like a brownie should be, and yummy!! I was looking for a recipe that used coca powder instead of bakers chocolate, and the Betty Crocker version used both bakers choc. and an entire package of cream cheese! Thanks for this recipe! :)

Some months ago we announced a professional gift to the medical department of the University of Chicago—Rush Medical College—by Mr. Rockefeller. Representations had been made to Rockefeller of the needs of the institution if it is to carry out the ideals in medical education that its friends desired, the necessary amount being put at $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. Mr. Rockefeller then made his offer to give the required amount provided $1,000,000 was raised by Chicago. July 1, 1903, was set as the date at which the money should be raised. On Tuesday the committee having the matter in charge unofficially represented that the million dollars had been raised. Few realize what this means to medical education of the United States. It is of national interest, for it means a long step forward, and one that will affect the medical education of the United States. It is not Chicago only, but the

What is the difference between nouns "size" and "dimension". When I want to set dimensions/sizes of an object which noun should I use?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

You can find both words in most of dictionaries. As a physicist I would not use the word "dimension" in daily life. For me, this is a mathematical term designated a property of space. The noun "size" refers to geometrical properties of surrounding us objects. Below are some daily meanings of the noun "dimension" fom dictionary.com.
Dimension means size for engineering, formally or informally, and has a vector property associated with it. One can refer to the dimension "length" of a couch when buying furniture or on a mechanical drawing designing it. "Size" is more general. The words are synonyms; it is the usage which differs. I must disagree with our physicist friend regarding the use of the word dimension in ordinary speech. People use it all the time when they are specifying the length property of day-to-day objects, especially how they will fit into a given space.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (June 19, 2013)--Celebrity cook Paula Deen says in a lawsuit deposition that she has used racial slurs in the past, but she insists that she and her brother, who are accused of racial and sexual discrimination in the suit filed by a former manager of their restaurant, don't tolerate hateful behavior.
In the court deposition filed Monday in federal court, an attorney for former restaurant manager Lisa Jackson presses Deen, 66, about her racial views and those of her brother, Bubba Hiers.
Deen was asked if she's ever used "the N-word."
"Yes, of course," she responded.
Deen said she likely used the slur in the 1980s after a black man held her at gunpoint at the Georgia bank where she worked.
Deen insists she and her brother object to slurs being used in "any cruel or mean behavior."

* Strong U.S. quarterly earnings drive up risk appetite * Colombia peso ends flat after finance minister comments * Brazil real gains 0.5 pct, Mexican peso 0.6 pct higher By Walter Brandimarte RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 4 The Brazilian real and the Mexican peso rose on Tuesday after strong U.S. corporate earnings encouraged investors to buy higher-risk assets such as stocks and emerging market currencies. The Mexican peso gained 0.5 percent, recovering part of Monday's selloff, as key U.S. stock indexes rallied around 1 percent. The optimism was based on data showing that, with results in for more than half of the S&P 500 companies, 69 percent of them had beaten profit expectations. The numbers are particularly encouraging for Mexico, whose economy deeply relies on the performance of its northern neighbor. In Brazil, the real ended 0.5 percent stronger at 1.9845 per dollar. Analysts say the Brazilian currency is likely to remain around the 2-per-dollar mark at least in the short term, as the Finance Ministry and the central bank appear to disagree on the ideal level for the exchange rate. While the Finance Ministry appears to favor a weaker real in order to boost exports, the central bank seems to prefer a stronger currency to help anchor inflation expectations, analysts say. "For the Finance Ministry to win the currency war, a real at 2 per dollar won't be enough. But for the central bank to control inflation expectations, a real at 2 per dollar won't do either," said Andre Perfeito, chief economist at Gradual Investimentos in Sao Paulo. "That behind-the-curtains dispute between the Finance Ministry and the central bank remains on investors' radar and has been bringing a certain stability to the exchange rate," he added. Other Latin American currencies have been more aggressive in curbing currency gains to protect their domestic industry. The Colombian peso ended little changed after Finance Minister Mauricio Cardenas said the government would use every tool in its arsenal to weaken the currency, including buying dollars on the spot market to prepay external debt. In Peru, the sol also ended unchanged after the central bank bought $180 million in its foreign exchange market, offsetting the increase in global appetite for risk.

8 Healthy & Delicious Power Breakfasts For Kids
filed under: cooking, food, green family, healthy recipe, kid friendly, recipe, vegan cooking, vegetarian
5. Raw blueberry tartlet
Does dessert for breakfast sounds crazy? Not if your dessert is a healthy fat-and-protein-packed treat like these raw blueberry tartlets. They are a definite step up from my high school days eating cheesecake for breakfast. Another easy dessert for breakfast idea: make a modified banana split. Plop on some yogurt instead of ice cream and let kids add a little maple syrup or agave on top (sprinkles optional!)
6. Carob or Chocolate Avocado Pudding (aka Chocomole)
Every raw food lover I know has a basic chocomole recipe in their back pocket. The essentials come down to this: a few avocados blended with a drizzle of agave or a few softened chopped dates, a dash of vanilla extract, and some cacao powder. I like to swap out the cacao for carob since it doesn't contain any caffeine and still has that chocolate-y, caramel-y flavor. Kids who have refused their green fruits and veggies have still gone gaga for this breakfast pudding so give it a try. It also makes a nice, healthy dessert for adults with some fresh berries and mint.
7. Breakfast Pizzas
The Lebanese restaurant near us serves all types of flatbreads (known as manakeesh) for breakfast, including savory and sweet. While breakfast is often associated with sugary cereals and sweet pastries in the U.S., it is often a savory meal in other countries (think beans and rice). Make your own savory style flatbread or pizza and top with scrambled, organic free-range eggs or scrambled tofu, sliced veggies, and a little sauce or ketchup. We also like sauteeing some seitan with onions and tomatoes to top our breakfast pizzas.
8. Power muffins
It's tempting to buy muffins en route to school or work, but the huge amount of sugar and white flour inside of them (not to mention their oversized portions) are reasons enough to make your own. Most muffins will stay good for a few days, so make a big batch on Sunday night and you've got breakfast for that beginning whirlwind start to the week. You can experiment with replacing some of the regular flour with whole wheat, whole wheat pastry, spelt, coconut, soy, brown rice or some gluten-free blends. Refined white sugar can be reduced and/or replaced with sucanat, coconut sugar, or other healthier sweeteners. Throw in some dried fruit and nuts, and you've got a breakfast winner!

Critical Rating: AAA

Ethnic filler.
Four average scenes of ethnic fucking (well, call it interracial 'cause whiteboy Dave Hardman appears twice). The standout stars Byron Long and a big, light-skinned girl with lots of tattoos. She's identified as Fantazja on the box cover (but that doesn't necessarily mean much, since Paris and Diamund are identified incorrectly). Long fucks her doggie-style, frigging her jiggling ass with a finger before blowing all over her large, natural breasts. Also noteworthy is the opener between Long and Brazilia. The barely-thick cutie shows off her shortie nightgown, explaining, "I'm trying to entice you." It works, in nearly every position.

When removing my graphics card I accidentally snapped the clip off the pci-e slot. I've got an R9-280X graphics card on an ASUS® Z87M-PLUS: m-ATX motherboard.
I've put the graphics card back in and it works fine. I haven't noticed any difference in performance. Is there anything I should be worried about?
On the user manual for the motherboard it says
- 1x PCI Express 3.0/2.0 x16 slot (at x16 mode)
- 1x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (run at x4 mode, compaticle with PCIe x1 anc x4 devices)
- 2x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots
(* The PCIe x16_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIe x1_2 slot. The default setting is x2 mode. Go to BIOS setup to change the settings.)
Would I be able to use a different PCI slot instead. Is there any BIOS change necessary (re what is on the user manual) if I decide to use a different slot.

Inquiry-Based Learning: Is it feasible in our current Standards Movement?
|Cheryl E. Powell
I have been hearing a lot of buzz lately about inquiry based learning being instituted in classes at the college level. While in INST202, I chose to write a paper on the definition and background of inquiry-based learning in the educational arena. Interestingly enough, I found that inquiry-based learning actually dates back to Socrates. The new term simply affords a new twist and perhaps a new following. When INST482 gave me the opportunity to take the found information one step further, I decided to research whether or not today teachers believe inquiry-based learning methods can be employed in their own classrooms despite the demands and time constraints of a standards-dictated curriculum. Research read from theorists, critics, and promoters have taught me that educational practices are cyclical. An educational method is implemented, studied, and improved. Then, another method comes along that catches the attention of politicians and parents, and it is implemented, studied, and improved. All this, unfortunately, takes place at the expense of our children. The purpose of my project is to survey current elementary-level teachers to gauge the level of interest in inquiry-based learning and the feasibility of implementing inquiry-based learning in a standards-based environment.

Flashy car rims and tires can certainly be attention grabbers.
In Mill Island, thieves have apparently started to take notice.
At least four recent incidents have locals pining for more police patrols.
"They jacked up the cars and stripped them bare," said Saul Needle, the president of the Mill Island Civic Association.
Needle, who is also the chair of Community Board 18, said the 63rd Precinct has been notified about the problem and is "well aware" of it.
"Deputy Inspector Frank Cangiarella promised he would pay more attention to this crime," Needle said.
At press time, Cangiarella was unavailable for comment.
Officials said that between April 6 and April 17 at least four car owners in Mill Island and Bergen Beach left their homes to find their vehicles sitting on blocks.
On April 10, a 51-year-old resident of Whitman Drive told police that someone took the tires and rims off of his 2008 Mercedes Benz as it was parked in front of his home. The car strippers went about their work sometime after 10:30 p.m., cops were told.
On the next night, thieves stripped a 2007 Cadillac Escalade of its shoes as it was parked on East 64th Street between Strickland Avenue and Mayfair Drive North.
The thieves were a little more brazen about a week later, when they robbed a 2008 Chevy Tahoe of all four of its tires and rims as the car sat in its driveway on Royce Street between Avenue W and Avenue X.
The same night, thieves removed four tires and rims from a 2006 Cadillac parked on Bergen Avenue near Avenue T.
District Manager Dorothy Turano, the district manager of the community board, said the incidents could be indicative of a slowdown in the economy

Was this post edited at all? It started off pretty histrionic and then ended on a pretty moderate note.
Yeah, that's what Stoli does to you...
Dan, weren't you balls deep in havarti and Carlsberg last year during the Danish cartoon controversy? One thing that that clusterfuck proved is that, if you're upset about something going down in a specific country, boycotting private industries in those countries is pointless.
Besides, pouring vodka into the gutter is a little too reminiscent of those asinine right-wing boycotts of French products in 2003.
yea. i am a little confused by how stoli is somehow responsible for the actions of its government.
either way, im poor now and rarely buy my favored raspberry stolis any longer. sad.
You should be careful, i am sure that not everyone reads the entirety of long posts, and the gist of the first 95% is BOYCOTT,
I suppose we are just lucky the end wasn't stuffed beneath a break
I dunno, buy American? Isn't Russia a Third World country anyway? Don't Third World countries always do stupid things? Isn't that why they are Third World countries?
Hmmm...let me see. An economic boycott that would hurt Russia. Let's see. First off, you're going to need to transform the energy economies of most of Europe, since they depend heavily on Russian oil and natural gas. You could convince Germany to forget about getting off nuclear power and have them mandate electric cars.
Next, you need to bring about world peace. Russia is the world's top arms dealer, and they'll sell to fucking anybody. I mean, their officers sell arms to the Chechen rebels they're supposed to be killing.
That about wraps up the ways to directly harm the Russian government.
BUT, we should be attempting to harm the Russian people economically. Yes, it was the government of Moscow that denied permits, but it was the people of Moscow that assaulted the activists, and they did so with not only tacit approval, but outright encouragement from the Russian people. So fuck them. Boycott the Stoli. It may be bottled in Latvia, but it's produced in Tambov, a city in the Crimea. Besides, Latvia isn't exactly a gay haven either. They have an ENDA type law, but only added it because as EU members, they have to, and they also passed their very own DOMA, and Riga banned a pride parade just last year.
Let's face it. A massive trade deficit has many, many downsides, such as the eventual total economic control of our nation by others, but the fact that we're the world's number one consumer nation means that we can flex our economic muscles, and yeah, it's a terrible problem that so many gay men are fucking drunks, but if we all switch brands of booze, we can certainly have an impact. It worked with Coors.
I remember my father supporting a boycott of English products to protest Britain's unholy war against the Irish in the eighties. I was too young to understand anything except, "No Baskin Robbins?!"
Long story short: the boycott didn't work. There are upwards of 34 million Irish Americans in the U.S., and fewer than 20 million LGBT Americans. Even when you account for the Protestant Irish in the US, we just don't have the power to affect a country's policies by leading half-hearted boycotts of ONE of its products. All we have the power to do is hurt Stoli, which would be a kick in the face to a company who spends a lot of money sponsoring our Pride parades here in the States.
What an inflammatory gesture, really. Want to help? Send some money to a gay group fighting their government's policies in Russia. If you must, stay away from the bar a few nights this month and send a whopping check.
Besides, Stoli's a good mid-priced vodka that mixes well. Sounds like a good idea about now.
shouldnt we boycott bigger, more dangerous, russian products like authoritarianism?
Stoli: NOT RUSSIAN.
Read to the end of the post, peeps.
While you are at it why don't you protest Piroshky Piroshky down in the Pike Place Market too? Oh wait, they are from Estonia, but it makes about the same amount of sense.
This is just purely reactionary bullshit. I understand the desire to help the cause, I saw it too and it was pretty awful, but hurting Stoli won't affect anything. Not to mention that they seem like prety good sponsors and that they are the sole sponsor of that show. You think they should be commended for setting a good example, when I'm sure they probably got shit for it.
This seems very misguided. There's has got to be a better way to protest, but it's probably not as brainless as choosing Absolut over Stoli.
More useful - boycotting imported Russian Oil.
Just walk to work.
I have not had time to do any real research, but remember Stoli was a big sponsor of the Queeer Film Fest along with the Stranger and the SGN.
I think they have sponsored other events as well in recent years in the gay community in Seattle....Our rub/fight needs to be with the City of Moscow, and we will get some change by international indignation.....via the EU.
A hot air, grandstanding boycott is silly and useless.... and not reality based.
i hate vodka. i hate russians. i hate everyone and everything. but especially vodka, and especially russians.
I just don't get - what does Stoli have to do with the gay parade? Also, last time I checked Moscow citizens voted against hosting gay parade in their city by 95%, which seems to be a majority. But still, what is the relationship between vodka and the parade??? And if people here feel like writing and posting "I hate Russians" is just fine, why don't I say "I hate blacks in downtown Seattle, who behave like monkeys fighting for bananas, and drunk Russians actually look more appealing to me than the monkeys?" Crazy blog you got here.
Frarf, the quoted blog, www.goodasyou.org, says Stoli "appears" to be made in Latvia. They don't cite the source, so who knows. I sure couldn't find where it's made or bottled.
Either way, as others have said, boycotting Stoli probably won't do shit to Russia. There are other high end vodkas produced in progressive countries though. Absolut, for example is (for the time being) owned by Sweden.
"U.S. State Department operatives (the earpieces are a dead giveaway)" -- ah, unless that's their cell phone, State Dept people don't do such things (and if anyone has tried to obtain a passport or visa they know that the State Dept is not equipped, nor inclined towards, anything remotely representing a labor saving device).
I bet there there some very happy & inebriated C.H.U.D. tonight in Manhattan.
Yeah that sure worked for Freedom Fries, didn't it. The French immediately changed... their.... wait a minute.
Can we please pick a target with a modicum of likelihood of success? Instead of looking like our knees are jerking.
Dan, I know you shouldn't have to shepherd everyone around here - but honestly - it's a bit of a misleading post. You can't expect every smart person like Fnarf and I to read all the way through. I mean, let's face it - there are many drunks here that read about three words and nod off and then somehow still can post some argument. Baffling, really.
Anyway - your boycott seems weak. Why not just snipe a Russian? Seems like a good start :p. I kid I kid. But still, letting the word out? What are you working for a newspaper or something?
Dan - I think you need to add a teaser to the beginning of this post that indicates what's coming up in the last paragraph. Soooo many of these responses seem to think the message was, "Russia hates gays so boycott Stoli"
It doesn't seem like anyone got to, "hey, corporately, Stoli sponsors shows on a gay network"
I switched from Stoli to Crater Lake awhile ago. i like to support local businesses.
to the liquor store today to get Crater Lake, sounds yummy with fresh squeezed lime from very ripe limes -- cranberry -- do not like sweet drinks or cock
thanks for the tip
" but it's produced in Tambov, a city in the Crimea."
Which, last time I checked was in the UKRAINE, not Russia.
If you want to feel good about the vodka you drink buy Finnish vodka.
Like Dan said this is a stupid idea. What would be better would be a well organized tourism boycott of anti gay countries, whether they be in the Caribbean or Russia. Gays with the disposable income and few children do love to travel and when they do they like to send money. Advocating that all gays and gay supporters stop traveling to oppressive countries might at least get some good attention.
ummmm, can I drink Smirnoff still??
Hate to break it to you, but I'm meeting your challenge, Dan; you used pussy as perjorative in your first paragraph.
Jesus christ the goddamn English police are back.
Drink Swedish vodka!
Drink brown liquor.
Sasha: I did not.
what a sad, misguided attempt at a protest. but i guess that's what you get from a bunch of gay old farts, including the one that invented the monstrosity known as the rainbow flag. they were doomed to be misguided from the very beginning.
Underlying theme:
Don't ever boycott anything - just perpetually think about taking action and continue to talk about how pointless it is to protest.
It's much more fun to complain and whine and wonder why someone can't come up with something really great to do.
Masturbation Nation!
Hey everyone, this is Jeremy from Good As You (the sourced blog at the end of the post). To answer Ebenezer/R16 -- I am not fully sure that the Stoli that is exported by a private company is produce SOLELY in Latvia. But it is, at least, in part. Because of this, the Russian govt. has actually tried to force them to change the "Made In Russia" label on their bottles. In fact, the true irony of all this that the Russian govt. seems to not be so fond of the company that produces our Stoli, so they might even welcome a protest!
And then there is of course the huge issue of the company's pro-gay displays. I mean, they don't just sponsor a show on Logo -- they are the SOLE SPONSOR of an unapologetically pro-gay show that documents stories of queer life in America. And then they are a sponsor of not only a gay advocacy organization, but LAMBDA f***ing LEGAL! In terms of fighting for gay rights, you don't get much more active!
Let me take a wild guess... you're under 30 years old.
I thought pussy, in the way Dan used it, was short for pussycat.
Faster, KILL! KILL!
Forgot to mention that I totally love the ads too!
From the Wiki Gods:
"It has been informally suggested in folk etymology that it is a shortened form of the word "pusillanimous" which is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "showing a lack of courage or determination" or cowardly. This meaning would seem to be consistent with the intention of the word "pussy" when used as an insult toward a man. This term, however, comes from the Latin words pusillus (petty) and animus (spirit) and is unrelated to the Germanic derivations of puss and pussy."
Eh, fuck Ukraine too. Quite frankly, I'd be happy if Americans the world over began boycotting goods from every country that was morally offensive whether they oppress minorities, mutilate vaginas, or just generally treat their people like shit. We'd pay a bit more, but I think in the long run, we'd just end up buying less cheap crap from China, and more durable goods from Western Europe and Japan.
Jeremy @33. Thanks for the clarification.
but aren't they buying stoli anyway just to pour it out as an act of protest? kind of defeats the purpose.
Stoli sucks anyhow. If you're going cheap, Monopolowa (potato vodka) kicks ass and I think Trader Joes in the NW carries it. There's tons of non-Russian vodka's that are as good or better than anything they produce. (To be fair, I'm not sure Poland is a hot-bed of gay rights these days).
Fuck it, just drink Grey Goose or Kettle One to be sure. Or Jesus, San Franisco's own Skyy brand ain't bad - it'd even be my brand if they didn't spell their name with two Y's (seriously guys!).
For myself, I'll keep buying inexpensive American-made vodka and running it three times through the Brita filter. Ends up as quite high-grade stuff when you do that, too.
"Eh, fuck Ukraine too.

And what is the Ukraine doing?
They ARE a seperate country from Russia and have different policies.
Enlighten us as to what their issues are will ya?
And NO Poland is NOT a country to support, if that's the tack you want to take...
In Washington State only state run liquor stores sell hard alcohol, even then not every store carries the same thing. Trader Joe's only carries wine and beer up here.
#44: Oh crap, I forgot (see what 7 years of cornerstore booze access will do to your memory)!
In Portland you can get Monopolowa at Trader Joe's, but no one stocks it in the Bay Area besides BevMo, which pretty much carries everything.
Back on track, Stoli sucks. Grey Goose is great. Problem solved. And if your drinking flavored vodkas, I can't really help you.
It's a shame, really. Stoli is by far my favorite vodka. I guess it's Ketel One for me until further notice.

"If you want to understand (or persuade) your boss, sister, neighbor, or teenager, it helps to have an emotional equation. Chip Conley built one of the most innovative, customer-inspiring businesses of the last 20 years. He's a leader who clearly understands the value of analyzing emotions."––Chip Heath, co-author of Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
"Emotional Equations offers a splendid menu of rules-of-thumb for a satisfied, meaningful life. Chip Conley has tried what he advises; his equations to live by are clever, useful, and profound."––Daniel Goleman, author of Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence
"In this remarkable book, one of America's finest entrepreneurs shares the wisdom that's helped him find personal and professional renewal in the face of some devastating life events. Chip Conley's equations are powerful tools for helping to make our emotions work for us, rather than against us, in business and in life."
-- Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive
"Chip Conley makes the case that great business leaders don't have to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Rather than superhuman, the best leaders––at work and at home––are simply super humans who know how to use their internal resources effectively. Emotional Equations offers practical advice so you can make your emotions work for you rather than against you."––Marci Shimoff, author of Love for No Reason
"Emotional Equations is a fresh, original guide to an authentic and fulfilling life. Every line is based on good science and lived experience and rings truthful and invigorating. There ought to be a law against successful CEOs writing such good books...where does that leave the rest of us?"––Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow
"Emotional Equations is a masterpiece by a master teacher. Philosopher/CEO Chip Conley peels away the thin veneer of let's pretend organizational life and introduces us to the very raw and tender emotional core of our human experience. While reading, I felt joy, delight, curiosity, insight, inspiration, amazement and, most of all, a much deeper understanding of my own inner life. Simple, yet profound...you really must read this book."
-- Jim Kouzes, co-author of The Leadership Challenge
"If you've struggled to understand how to get control of your emotions, Chip Conley's Emotional Equations is the book for you. Conley makes elegantly objective the subjective realm of feelings through the prism of simple mathematical formulas that offer fresh insight into how we can more effectively manage our emotions."
-- Anne Kreamer, author of It's Always Personal: Emotion in the New Workplace
"It's incredibly rewarding to see one of my former psychology students evolve first into a very successful businessperson and then into a thoughtful observer of human nature. Chip Conley's Emotional Equations is challenging, thought-provoking, insightful, and, ultimately, very practical."
-- Phil Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, author of The Time Paradox
"You may scoff at the idea that all the complexity and subtlety of human emotion can be reduced to a handful of arithmetic operations. Scoff all you want, but read the book. There is something important to be learned from every chapter. Chip Conley has written a book that is both welcoming and challenging, simple and complex, abstract and concrete. Read this book and take it to heart and your emotional life will never be the same."
-- Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice
"After Frankl's memoir, Man's Search For Meaning, got him through a very dark period, Conley concluded that its message was "despair = suffering - meaning," an elegant distillation of Frankl's insight that extremes of anguish need not destroy the soul if a sense of purpose, and of choosing the meaning of one's experiences, remains. At their best, Conley's equations prompt a revelation: by reducing an emotional problem to its core elements, you can glimpse new ways to address it. The formula provides clarity, which isn't to suggest the solution is easy." (The Guardian)
"Chip Conley gives a brilliant analysis of the absolute necessity of Maslow's hierarchical paradigm in unleashing the talent and commitment of customers, employees, owners—in fact, stakeholders. Great resource material for leaders, trainers, educators, even parents. Chip practices in his hotels what he teaches—most successfully!" (Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness)
"Chip Conley presents a creative and thought-provoking new approach to running a business. He brilliantly applies Abraham Maslow's theories to management and provides insightful prescriptions that will help you gain peak performance in your company. Conley's depth and candor make this book a must-read for everyone who wants to improve their organization." (Bill George, former CEO, Medtronic and author, Authentic Leadership and True North)
"One of the best business books I've read. A unique combination of organized intelligence and creative insight. I guarantee it!" (George Zimmer, CEO and chairman, Men's Wearhouse, Inc.)
"Strategy? Got one. Tactics? Check. But there's one more key element without which you won't get anywhere: Motivation. Peak will show you how to create motivated employees, customers, and investors, and tells the story of how one spectacular entrepreneur does it by treating people right—and how they return the favor." (Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief, Wired magazine and author, The Long Tail)
"Chip Conley's book is a perfect combination: part personal story, part business theory, and part how-to instruction. Peak combines head, heart, and soul for today's aspiring business leader. Don't just read this book—do it!" (Alan M. Webber, former editorial director, Harvard Business Review and co-founding editor, Fast Company)
"Conley filters his own readings in psychology and philosophy into his teachings, which may help some readers who can appreciate a rational, mathematical approach to managing their emotional lives."
(Publishers Weekly)

Family Turns to Facility for Help with Bipolar Son
Last September, Morning Edition aired a story about a 9-year-old boy, Benjamin, with bipolar disorder. His moods and behaviors were unpredictable and changed rapidly throughout the day, and sometimes he was violent. Now 10, Ben is living full-time in a psychiatric facility for boys, where his treatment is designed to moderate his mood swings and teach him how to manage his own behavior. Michelle Trudeau reports.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 01st, 2004
Running Time: 140
Director: David Luger
Company: Red Light District
Cast: Devine, Brian Pumper, Darren James, Cameron Leigh, Devlin Weed, Manaje, Precious (I), Angel Eyes, Mr. Marcus, Lexington Steele, Tina (I), Nina (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
A must for connoisseurs of young black women.
David Luger rounds up mostly new black girls who tease him and the camera before he turns them over to black studs.
The best teases are sassy Cameron Leigh and light-skinned Manaje. Lexington Steele's firm fucking combined with the way the girls play to the camera make this threeway very hot.
The freakier stuff comes elsewhere. Divine, 18 and three months, does a pretty good d.p. for a first-timer. During the long tease build-up, Luger can't keep his hands off her barely legal tits and ass.
Precious has a mouth big enough to take both Weed and Darren James into it. She also takes both dicks in her pussy, then one in the pussy, one in the ass. It looks like something she gets through rather than enjoys.
Angel Eyes, the most experienced and best looking girl (she's on the box cover), also does double vag, a lot more erotically. The others are Nina, 22, and Tina, who each get fucked by James, the latter anally.
Pre-nom: Best Ethnic-Themed Series.

Optimal control of operation efficiency of belt conveyor systems
The improvement of the energy efficiency of belt conveyor systems can be achieved at equipment or operation levels. Switching control and variable speed control are proposed in literature to improve energy efficiency of belt conveyors. The current implementations mostly focus on lower level control loops or an individual belt conveyor without operational considerations at the system level. In this paper, an optimal switching control and a variable speed drive (VSD) based optimal control are proposed to improve the energy efficiency of belt conveyor systems at the operational level, where time-of-use (TOU) tariff, ramp rate of belt speed and other system constraints are considered. A coal conveying system in a coal-fired power plant is taken as a case study, where great saving of energy cost is achieved by the two optimal control strategies. Moreover, considerable energy saving resulting from VSD based optimal control is also proved by the case study.

"Rottnest - A great day out in Perth!!" Top 5 Page for this destination Rottnest Island by aussirose
Rottnest Island Travel Guide: 239 reviews and 577 photos
Rottnest Island (Rotto), is a fabulous place to visit on your holiday in Perth. You can get there by ferry from Fremantle (Freo) or from Hillary's Boat Harbour, about 20 minutes north of Perth.
We went swimming and snorkling at the Basin, within walking distance up the road from the camping area.
Kids love it on Rotto. Apart from snorkling and bike riding, there's a family fun park where you can trampoline to your heart's content in wonderful suroundings :o)
- Pros:Stunning beaches and cute quokkas.
- Cons:Bring plenty of cash. Expensive day trip.
- In a nutshell:A 'must do' when visiting Peth, especially in summer.

Snorkling of course!! :o) You can hire the gear quite cheap as well. more travel advice
Hillarys Fast Ferries have return journeys to Rotto. This trip is more of a luxury one and costs more but I recommend... more travel advice
Just for train enthusiasts, they have a little train that does a bit of the island. We havn't gone on it, but I managed... more travel advice

Rotto is somewhere I certainly will go next trip to Perth
I have one...well a toy one...AussieBarney was wondering what on earth it was when he saw Quokka in my toy basket.
Rotto is one of those places I really must visit whenever we next find ourselves in the west, Ann. Your description and photo have convinced me that we'll have to lunch at the Tea Rooms too! :)
Rotto looks like a must, when visiting Perth. Love those Quokkas. Great pics, Ann! OMG! BABY PEACOCKS! That's it I have to come here....can u stay overnight?????
This looks a lovely spot Ann, and I enjoyed your anecdote about the locals joining you for lunch ;-)
I rented a bicycle on Rottnest but was very scared about a snake sunbathing in the middle of the path.
Wow Ann, Rottnest is very beautiful island. i wanna go there today...haha But i can't, i'm in Brasil yet, but i'm going when i stay in perth. Thanks for the nice VT page. TONI!
Nice Quokka pics Ann. HAHA!
Strange name - but looks like such a beautiful place, love the scenery pics..! :o) Greetings from Troms�
How could I pass up an opportunity to visit a place called Rottnest. Looks wonderful Ann. You are indeed fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world. Pa
