From The Political Junkie: Crawford's Secret EmailsPermalink +
Tue, Apr 26, 2011, 4:39 pm // Riley Sweeney
Sam Crawford is the current County Council president and seems to have a little trouble with transparency laws. As a public official, his emails are public record if they pertain to county business. This is a pretty simple matter, for most people. The County sets up an email address firstname.lastname@example.com and the public official uses the public email for the public's business and private email for private business.
Unfortunately, Sam Crawford feels the rules don't apply to him. He uses his private email AND his public email for county business. Sometimes, he forwards a copy to the records department. Sometimes.
Recently, Mr. Crawford was busted by the Bellingham Herald for not only sending out emails from his private account about county business but, in the same email, asking people to delete the evidence! Luckily, one of these people had a conscience and forwarded it to Jared Paben at the Herald, who reported about it. Here is the juicy part:
Then, at about 11:30 a.m., using his personal e-mail account, he forwarded that e-mail with new text to other people. But, at the end of the new text, he wrote, "If you forward this email, PLEASE remove the elements that indicate I sent it to you using my personal email, as well as this introductory commentary. Thank you!"
This is not Sam Crawford's first shady dealing. When Bob Kelly resigned from the Council in November of 2009, Sam Crawford, Ward Nelson, and Pete Kremen met behind closed doors to stonewall the nomination process and ensure that Ward Nelson was appointed to the additional term. This move was so ethically suspect that lawyers, the Attorney General's office, and an official ethics complaint were all involved in trying to straighten out what happened.
Then there was the matter of his quid-pro-quo arrangement with CAITIC, one of the large developers in town. Sam Crawford received an email from a CAITIC representative that stated CAITIC had paid for Kathy Kershner and Bill Knutzen's election. When the public tried to get their hands on that email, oops, it had disappeared.
So, with all this background in place, I did a public records request on any emails to or from Sam Crawford's private email account in the last year or so from a handful of sources. The process here is that the public records officer logs into the county email system and searches for any emails that have passed to or from Sam Crawford's private email account, then sends them back to me.
HOWEVER, some of the people requested do not use the county email system, so the public records officer sends them a polite email asking if they could forward him any relevant emails.
Do you see the problem with this system? You would never see a police officer knock on a suspected drug dealer's door and say, "Excuse sir, but some people think you might be selling drugs. Could you please be ever so kind as to hand over any drugs you might have on the premises?" It doesn't work.
So I read through the pounds and pounds of emails. Lots of fascinating stuff about the Lummi Ferry dispute (some of which had to be redacted for legal reasons,) most of it procedural, but by far the most interesting emails were between Sam Crawford and David Onkels. Dave Onkels (or Dave6 as he is sometimes known online) is the newest County Planning Commissioner. Most of their emails were just back and forth about county business ("I had this idea," "you should read this,") except that they were from Crawford's private email account.
One of the emails, here, even has Crawford saying "I didn't send this to you." Clearly Sam Crawford, with his years of experience as a public official, knows better. The email, for those curious, was about this.
Sam Crawford knows what he is doing is breaking state law. He's just thumbing his nose at the public. Because he can.
Todd Granger // Wed, Apr 27, 2011, 8:30 am
Do you see a problem with this system?
As if Sam's breaking the law, isn't the usual and accustomed method of local government operations.
In Whatcom County, You'd see the police officer kick down the door, tazer the suspect, lie on the stand, and then shown best, down in a real courthouse for false arrest, making everthing up as a lie, and then writing a check from Steve Oliver's Office, for being the most incompetant public employees ever before seen, Vote Dave McEachran!
Crawfords got no secrets, and neither does Dave.
Dis you miss the Dave McEachran Show, shown best in those real Courthouses, for corrupt lawyers on display in Whatcom County for Decades!

Hi All,
From what I can see, nothing that Sam Crawford puts in inappropriate emails would be surprising to most of us if he had done it right. Sam has a bit of a problem with appropriate procedure. He has a greater problem with substance.
I check NorthwestCitizen periodically, and I like it. Down at the bottom right is a list of websites that are "quiet, offline or dead." Included among them is Pro-Whatcom. What happened to Pro-Whatcom was that after I couldn't maintain the pace of president, nobody else would step up. And it's no wonder.
The basic premise of Pro-Whatcom was that growth is good, for a while, and we have long since passed the point where it is. Not bigger, but better was what PW was about.
In fact, though, that's impossible. Under the GMA we have toi to "accommodate" whoever wants to move here and—mostly at our expense for the infrastructure—upzone from rural to urban to do so. The long-running hassle with the County Comp Plan is who much urban to plan for. Sam Crawford and the conservatives (well, really what are they conserving?) want large amounts of land zoned for urban development; the liberals want less.
This morning I was listening to KUOW. There was some comment about the apartment-building business (small apartments are all people can afford). The developer was asked about prospects for the future. You could hear him smile on the radio: "Fortunately," he said, "the greater Seattle-area population is growing and growing." I think he said by 100,000 a year, but that seems too much.
Anyway, I guess the theory for people like Sam Crawford is that growth is good, and the more the better. But it is impossible to have infinite growth, and already the quality of life in Whatcom County is reduced. We are polluting our drinking water; our roads, ever more congested, get "improved" at great expense.
Until we get over the idea that "growth is good" we will not make progress to sustainability. And since growth is the essence of our current corporate-capitalistic system (neo-feudalism, I'm calling it), the prospects for the necessary change are dim. It'll happen eventually, of course, but not until things are a lot worse than they are now. That's my opinion, anyway.
Thanks to John Servais for his blog, one of the earliest to come to computerland.

Larry Horowitz // Tue, May 03, 2011, 8:40 pm
Thanks for your comments, Dan. I certainly agree that growth is good? for awhile. In man?s battle with nature, it?s inconceivable man will ultimately win the war. If man were to respect natural laws, he?d soon recognize that nothing in nature experiences infinite growth. We grow to maturity, at which point we reach a steady state. Perhaps those who lack this basic understanding have not reached maturity themselves.
If I may, I?d like to add a phrase to your premise. Growth is good? for a few.
Doug Karlberg // Thu, May 05, 2011, 11:13 am
People keep talking about "growth" in the third person.
Are not all of us "growth" when we moved here?
Or are we just talking about "growth" that happened after,
we arrived?
Which way do I point my finger?
A general philosophical question.
Crawford, is an embarrassment.
Larry Horowitz // Thu, May 05, 2011, 7:43 pm
Good question, Doug. Regarding my comment, I?m referring to ?net? population growth locally, which consists of total births less total deaths, plus total in-migration less total out-migration.
For example, when we moved to Bellingham, we purchased an existing home from a couple that was moving away. Our joint moves had no net effect on total population.
A country?s net population growth would be calculated in a similar way; however, global net population growth ignores in- and out-migration (at least until aliens are included in the census and earthlings are capable of leaving the planet).
Globally and locally, there are limits to population growth. The obvious ones are clean water, clean air, soil fertility, fisheries, etc. Additionally, there is only so much room (?sinks?) for our waste.
In 2005, the authors of ?Limits to Growth? published a 30-year update. You might be interested in reading it.

This week in the AL.com Data Mine:
- We explained how our Data Mine got its name. Of course we're not the first folks to use the phrase "data mining," but we feel especially attached to it because of the impact the mining industry has had on Alabama over the years.
- We talked about heroin because of the drug's apparent impact on Jefferson County, with more than 150 deaths in the area since the start of 2012. Sixteen different police departments have been called in to handle deaths involving the drug.
- Dr Pepper became a topic of conversation after the Southeastern Conference paid its member schools another $300 million in 2014. If you add up all the money those schools have received since 1980, it'd be enough to buy the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Company, based on its 1995 sale price (even after accounting for inflation!).
- We had an election this week, although perhaps several Alabamians didn't get the memo. Only about 20 percent of registered voters got the vote out on Tuesday, by far the lowest turnout in recent memory.
- New Medicare data released this week showed which hospitals were seeing more patients for certain diagnosis types. A separate analysis by the New York Times noted that the prices charged by hospitals in Gadsden and Birmingham were substantially higher than the U.S. average.
- And one more fun one: if you live in Birmingham, you may have noticed that the weather's been relatively cool. We answered the question as to whether it's weird for temps not to have reached 90 degrees this far into the year. UPDATE: The numbers don't lie: Thursday's high was 91.
Questions about our work? Got some data you'd like to see us dig into? Let us know in our comments section, or tweet me at @ajwalsh08. Thanks for following along!

Annapolis police said they've seen a 60 percent spike in thefts from vehicles during the first four months of 2013.
The Capital of Annapolis reported that there have been 102 thefts this year, up from 64 during the same period in 2012.
Police said in 82 percent of the thefts, the vehicle was either unlocked or showed no signs of forced entry.
In response, police have launched a new initiative to alert owners that their cars are easy targets for theft. Much like potential thieves, police officers are walking down streets and pulling on door handles to see if they'll open.
They're also noting valuable items left in plain sight, officials said. Owners of those vehicles are being advised to lock the doors and remove their property.

Sonny Rollins: Mark of Greatness
So it had to be a hell of a year for Sonny Rollinshad to be. But, with the ever level-headed, realistic and humble Rollins, one wouldn't really notice it. He doesn't classify 2011 as that special. Rollins sees it as a year when he continued to develop his music andat timesreached satisfactory levels. That's not bad for the reigning king of jazz improvisation, who is notoriously hard on himself.
In December of 2011, Rollins was among five recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors, awarded annually for exemplary lifetime achievement in the performing arts. In March of 2011, Rollins was in Washington, D.C. to receive the National Medal of Arts from President Obama. Rollins, at 81, continues to play his horn with such passion, intensity and creativity that he also garners the highest praises in the jazz community. He regularly tops annual magazine polls. He was Musician of the Year and Tenor Saxophonist of the Year in 2011, as voted by the Jazz Journalists Association. Rollins' recording Road Shows, Vol. 2 (Doxy, 2011) is up for two Grammy awards in February, 2012.
The Kennedy Center Honors medal went to the jazz titan and four other honoreesYo-Yo Ma, Meryl Streep, Neil Diamond and Barbara Cookat a State Department dinner on December 3, 2011. There, Rollins was introduced by former President Bill Clinton and lauded by President Obama. The next day, there was a gala ceremony at the Kennedy Center, celebrating the winners. (It was televised a few weeks later on CBS television.)
But for Rollins, ever the vital artist, those were pleasantries. He is grateful for them, but he's living in today's moments. He's focused on right now, on trying to be the best person possible and to navigate through a changing and often caustic world. He's focused on his artmaking meaningful music with that curved contraption of metal from which he coaxes warm, exotic, emotional, delectable sounds. Rollins has always graciously accepted the accolades that have come his way, and he knows his stature as jazz royalty. But he doesn't flaunt itthere is a huge dose of humility involved.
"Fun?" a bemused Rollins reflects, a few days after the prestigious Kennedy Center events. "Well, that wasn't exactly my style."
What's exciting him these days, as he rests while his 2012 tour schedule takes shape, is how his band sounds and its pursuit of something special: reaching for something extraordinary, something for today. And it's nothing mystical; it's out there and attainable. It's so much within reach that Rollins wants to make his first studio recording since Sonny Please (Doxy Records), in 2006. He feels that "something revelatory" can be capturedsomething much better than his Grammy-nominated album that doesn't really impress him.
"It's describable," says Rollins about the musical place he's trying to reach. On his 2011 tourRoad Shows Vol. 2 is 2010 musicthe band was making progress toward that objective. "It's not that I'll know it when I hear it; I know what it is now. We just haven't been able to produce it. But it is producible, because we produced it in this last year, at certain times." That band was Peter Bernstein on guitar, Kobe Watkins on drums, Bob Cranshaw on bass and Sammy Figueroa on percussion.
"That's why I'm very interested in doing a studio album, if I can get it done before we go back on tour. ... The beautiful thing about this music and improvisation and jazz music that we try to play is that: OK, what I want to do, I know I can dobut when we do that, it leads to something else. It's not that I know what it is, and we'll do it, and that's the end. No. That's going to lead to another door opening, which is fine. But I haven't opened this door yet. That, I think we can do now in the studio. I haven't made a studio album in a while, either. I'd like to do one."
Rollins has been making revelatory music since his emergence on the New York City scene in the 1940s. He and John Coltrane are the most influential saxophonists in the post-Charlie Parker era. But his life has been more than thatit's been an example of perseverance and strength of character. His approach to life, as well as art, is exemplary. Every conversation with Rollins is valuable; that's rare.

Andrei Arshavin has been a recluse at The Emirates this season, just one solid performance against Coventry to boast about. Now as a behind-closed-doors friendly is being arranged for the international break the Russian national team exile could use it to impress as Sagna, Frimpong and Wilshere step up their recovery.
The international break is often a vilified break from football that essentially provides more opportunities for several players to return hobbling on to the training ground from far-flung corners of the world.
However Arsenal, who have had recent reason to be frustrated with the international schedules due to the Abou Diaby France debacle, are planning to utilise the break to rehabilitate some of their recently crocked stars.
A behind closed doors friendly is reportedly in the offing, with potential opponents including Barnet and Charlton XI's. It would present an excellent opportunity for the likes of Jack Wilshere, Emmanuel Frimpong and Bacary Sagna to step up their recovery from respective injuries.
Yet, while it will also present a great opportunity for fringe players and youth-teamers to get some action under their belt another, more experienced player will be hoping to make a significant impact if the game goes ahead.
Andrei Arshavin finds himself in a difficult situation at Arsenal FC. Mostly the result of his own-doing with last season's mediocre and often lazy performances he has found himself out of the side after Arsene Wenger did decent business in the summer.
Yet he is reportedly in the best shape of his career physically, smashing his PB's in the Arsenal pre-season fitness testing and after looking the part against Coventry in a swashbuckling enigmatic League Cup display he probably hoped for a better run in the squad at the Emirates.
That has not been the case but now with Theo Walcott looking at a spell on the side-lines Arshavin could take advantage of his Capello-enforced international exile by putting in a name for himself with a hard-working performance in this friendly
While they are often tepid games with little or no bearing significance toward the result Arshavin can only seize the moment and ask to feature, then put in a superb display to force his way into Arsenal's plans.
His contract runs out this summer and he needs to put himself in the shop window to secure a move to what is believed to be his preference, a London club.
If not rumours persist that the Russian will hang up his boots at his contract end rather then return to his homeland, as he begins to raise his family in an English way of life.
Either way, behind closed doors or not, this is Arshavin's chance to catch the eye.

Meek back on DL with shoulder tendinitis
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
For the second time this season, right-hander Evan Meek has been placed on the disabled list with right shoulder tendinitis. The Pirates made the move on Friday and will fill the open bullpen spot with right-handed reliever Tim Wood, who had his contract purchased by the club.
Room to place Wood on the 40-man roster was made by transferring catcher Chris Snyder to the 60-day disabled list. The Pirates have not estimated how long Snyder, who was scheduled for back surgery on Friday, will be sidelined, though he is now not eligible to return until mid-August, at the earliest.
Meek has been battling issues with his arm since the start of the season. Right calf tightness kept him from getting the number of innings he needed to build his arm up during Spring Training, and he was then bugged by a virus for most of the month of April.
Meek went on the DL late in April and made six appearances after coming off. In 6 1/3 innings, Meek allowed 10 hits and two runs.
Wood, who signed a Minor League deal with the Pirates after Washington released him at the end of Spring Training, has made 44 relief appearances at the Major League level. Those came in 2009 and 2010, when Wood was up with the Marlins. He combined to post a 4.32 ERA in 50 innings.
The righty has been pitching for Triple-A Indianapolis, where he has served as the club's primary closer. Wood has saved 13 games and posted a 2.96 ERA. He has not allowed a home run in 23 appearances. In his last 22 innings, Wood has allowed just four earned runs.

At least once a month on a Sunday afternoon, the Si Se Puede Salsa Company and canning collective meets in one member's kitchen in Holy Cross, Mid-City, Treme or Uptown. They bring favorite canning cookbooks and armloads of produce, fresh from the farmers markets.
The group's name is a Spanish pun: it means 'Yes, we can.' Although some chefs are buying their products already, they offered their fruit salsas for sale to the public for the first time at the Locavore Market held earlier this month. Amanda Karistai and Zee Thornton are part of the core group of women, most in their 20s and 30s, at the heart of the collective.
"We grew up after the processed food revolution," Thornton said. "Our grandmothers were ahead of it in this stuff."
The still-burgeoning interest in vegetable gardening, eating locally and more healthfully continues to fuel the huge interest in canning and preserving, which has been off the charts for at least the last five years. Ball has marketed every kind of glass, and now offers electric appliances for making jelly and canning. A line of stylish Quattro Stagioni glass jars, which have been sold in Italy for 40 years, are now available in the United States.
- Want to talk about cooking with Judy Walker? Have a recipe or tip to share? Check out NOLA.com/eat-drink.
Thornton said the canning cooperative uses recipes from their favorite cookbooks, including the Bible of canning, The Ball Blue Book. She added that it's important to make sure of pH levels.
The cooperative uses Louisianal sugar from Three Brothers Farms in Youngsville, but they also are working on low-sugar recipes using Pomona's Universal Pectin. The product includes a calcium packet, which helps the pure-citrus pectin to set.
"We're very excited about that, because people who watch what they're eating kind of shy away from jams," Thornton said. "We can use honey or sweetened juice or no added sugar whatsoever."
Because Karistai is from Arizona, the collective has made lots of fruit salsas. The Strawberry-Blueberry Salsa othey sold at the Locavore Market "was the one everybody freaked out over," Thornton said. It was a variation on a recipe for Strawberry-Peach salsa, below.
"Amanda is really into salsas," Thornton said. "Being from the Gulf coast, I'm more into a quick sauté of fish or shrimp," Thornton said. She gets fish or seafood from the market, seasons it a bit, sautes it, puts it on top of sald and throws some salsa over it . "I could eat that every day in summer."
The camaraderie is a big part of the collective's enjoyment, she added.
"It's kind of like our happy space we go to," she said of their time together. "We hang out in somebody's kitchen for a couple of hours and talk and laugh have friends the way we used to before we were online."

This is funny for a few reasons:
1. An NBA team has lent its logo to a shirt based on one of the more vulgar songs in the '90s hip-hop canon — I won't get too deep into the lyrics, but click through to that YouTube page if you're curious. (Or just listen to the song! You have ears!)
2. That song name has been hovering around American culture as a grade-school prank for a couple of decades now; Urban Dictionary says, "catching people with 'deez nutz' has become America's 3,157th favorite pastime, just behind underwater basket-weaving and just ahead of collecting Spongebob Squarepants paraphernalia."
The game works as following: you ask someone a question, and if the response is "What?", "Who?", "Huh?" or anything starting starting with one of the 5 "W's", you're free to get that person with "DEEEEEZ NUUUUUTZ!!!". Works best when done loudly in quiet public places such as a lecture hall, church, or a line at the bank.
3. Brooklyn and L.A. have historically had a little bit of a rivalry. Dr. Dre is from L.A.; the Nets are from Brooklyn.
4. Dr. Dre is now mostly known for selling headphones, which basically every player in the NBA can be seen wearing in those weird pregame segments where cameras follow them as they walk through the arena.
5. Dr. Dre wears Adidas track-suits pretty frequently, and though I can't find anything on him having an official partnership with Adidas, I'm willing to suggest that he might've signed off on this shirt.
6. Sports Authority's description of the shirt is as follows: "You'll love the tongue-in-cheek humor of this adidas® Brooklyn Nets Deez Nets t-shirt!"
- The Clinton campaign is trying to stop television stations from running a pro-Trump ad featuring Michelle Obama.
- A federal jury cleared the leaders of an Oregon standoff. The militia group took over a wildlife refuge last January.
- Countries from around the world have agreed that the Ross Sea in Antarctica will become the world's largest marine protected area.

The Devils didn't recall Cam Janssen from Albany (AHL) so he could sit and watch Thursday night's game from the press box.
It is virtually certain that he will be in the lineup against the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.
"Good chance," coach Pete DeBoer said.
Janssen will add some energy and toughness in the back-to-back games against the Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs. He also brings some positive vibes to a team that is down after being shut out in their last two games.
"I think you're naturally a little frustrated when you lose two games in a row. I don't think that's a surprise," DeBoer said. "I wouldn't characterize it as down, but there's not a team in the league that gets shut out for seven periods and it walking around doing jumping jacks.
"(Janssen) had a good camp. He played well. He's played well down in Albany from all the reports. He does bring energy. He's a positive guy around the room. He's vocal Guys like him. When things are tough, it never hurts to have a guy like that around the team."
And Janssen is thrilled to be back in the NHL.
"Very, very, very happy," Janssen said. "So is my family. They're super pumped up. I think they get more pumped up than anybody. It's good to be back. It's good to see the guys. A couple of big games coming up, fun buildings to play in. Big crowds. So I'm very excited."
What can he bring to the Devils since he isn't a goal-scorer?
"I have to do my job," he said. "Create energy, keep everything simple. Get pucks in and get pucks out. And I have to hit, hit, hit, pressure their 'D' and force them to turn the puck over. Force them to make mistakes because they're looking over their shoulders and create something out of that.
"And stick up for my teammates as well. Two tough buildings to play in. Two physical teams. I'm ready when they need me."
DeBoer thinks Janssen can help.
"He is what he is. We know what he is," the coach said. "Lou (Lamoreillo) makes those personnel decisions, but I like having him around. He's a good guy."
Janssen, who was given No, 25, was told of his recall Tuesday night and drove down from Albany, N.Y.

"You need to straighten your aim or you'll never get the coat." Phoenix said as she patted the Resistance coat that sat next to her. Her gun sat on top of it.
"I'll get it eventually you and I both know it." Dominic said. He turned away from his sister and noticed something in the distance. He turned to his sister.
"Hey Phoenix I think something is coming." Dominic said. Phoenix jumped to her feet grabbing the gun and taking it with her. Her gun was a M16A4. It had it's moments considering how old it was and how careful she was with her ammo.
"Dom get out of the way." Phoenix said. Dominic didn't listen to his sister and instead went toward the figure. When he got closer he noticed it was a girl.
"Phoenix it's a girl." Dominic said. Phoenix who had also picked up the coat went toward her brother. She was wearing her own coat and when she saw the blonde girl who looked like she had seen hell she put her gun down and took her own coat off.
"Here you go what's your name?" Phoenix asked as she put the coat around the girl's shoulders.
"I'm Elizabeth Masterson." Elizabeth said. Phoenix said nothing but she didn't like being out in the open for very long.
"What are you doing out here?" Phoenix asked.
"I was waiting for my dad but the terminators killed him so I started wondering." Elizabeth said.

Rina grew into a Category 1 hurricane Monday and was expected to grow into a major hurricane today as it moved toward resorts on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, forecasters warned.
Rina's top winds were 80 mph, up from 40 mph earlier Monday, according to an advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Miami. The system is the sixth hurricane of the 2011 Atlantic storm season.
"Interests in Belize, the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and the adjacent islands should monitor the progress of Rina," the center said.
Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland, said Rina won't be a threat to Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production. Kinetic Analysis Corp. estimated that the storm may shut in 6.69 million barrels of oil produced by state-owned Petroleos Mexicanos, Latin America's largest oil producer.
Rina was forecast to approach Cancun by week's end and then possibly curve east toward Cuba, the center's tracking maps showed. As of Monday afternoon, the system was about 340 miles east-southeast of Chetumal, Mexico, moving west-northwest at 3 mph.
A major hurricane of Category 3 or higher has winds of at least 111 mph, capable of snapping trees, blowing down poorly built homes and creating a "high risk of injury or death to people, livestock and pets due to flying and falling debris," according to the Hurricane Center.
A U.S. Air Force Reserve reconnaissance airplane flew into Rina and discovered it had grown rapidly in strength. Hurricane-force winds of at least 74 mph extended 15 miles from its core, while tropical storm-force winds of 39 mph or more reached out 115 miles.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. It's closely watched by the energy industry because of the potential impact on oil and gas production areas.
Also, Florida is the world's biggest orange grower after Brazil.
Rina is the 17th named storm to form this year, which makes 2011 the seventh most-active season since record-keeping began in 1851, Jeff Masters, co-founder of Weather Underground in Ann Arbor, Mich., wrote on his blog Monday.
There were 19 named storms last year, while 2005 had the most at 28, including Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and the central Gulf Coast.

lol. hows it goin lbu??? been awhile...
I miss RPing. We should do it. Bring it on Gigs!!! lol
I've been entertaining the idea of starting one in a few weeks. Formulating some ideas and such...
If it comes to pass, trust me when I say it'll be fairly different from our "Usual Fare".
lol. hows it goin lbu??? been awhile...
I miss RPing. We should do it. Bring it on Gigs!!! lol
Depending on the RP, I might give it a try. Emphasis on might.
Not to beat a dead horse (that's been dead for so long that it's really just decaying bones at this point), but I really, REALLY miss the Alternate Plot.
The early days of take 2 of The Majestic 12, to be specific. To the plotters, it generated more hype than the game is was originally based off of. It took months to refine the opening post, but it was sooo worth it...
And then Blue Man left, and then a week later, the Apocalypse happened. The Alternate Plot was killed in one swift, fell blow.
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on alright
This image pretty much sums up my idea so far:
Rev your engines, people, I'll probably put the sign-up next weekend.
Sounds good gigs
The sign-up thread is done.
Anyone still around?
Heh heh.... you called Richand? lol

SRM Red Mulch - 4' x 600'
Product ID: 9296
Increases marketable tomato yield up to 20%.
Developed by the US Department of Agriculture and Clemson University, it performs like black mulch, by suppressing weeds, retaining moisture, and warming soil by 4-6°F/-15.5 to -14.5°C; but this red film also reflects far-red wavelengths upward into the plant canopy, triggering photosynthesis and stimulating rapid growth and development. Results are earlier, with increased yields of 12% to 20%. Independent studies by Penn State University have also shown tomato yields to be as much as 20% higher and a reduction of early blight in plants grown in red vs. black plastic. SRM-Red (Selective Reflecting Mulch) is a high quality, durable plastic that is 1.0 mil thick and lays well over flat or raised beds. Stretchable, with season-long integrity, and it is easily removed from the field after harvest. Recent research has proven it to increase yield and sugar content in strawberries. Not recommended for use in warmer southern states.

Hyrule Warriors released on the Wii U back in 2014's Fall season, and it was a great brawler experience in the Dynasty mold, only with a Zelda wrapper instead of Koei Tecmo's trademark series. Since the game was a Dynasty Warriors game, many wondered if there would be an eventual Legends edition containing all the DLC and more. About a year later, that answer came in the form of Hyrule Warriors Legends. Only no one was quite ready to hear that it would be a 3DS port. The shift brings some changes that are both welcome and unwelcome, but it's still a great package, with some caveats.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Review – Wii U
When I first played Twilight Princess, it was back in 2006, about a month after the Wii launched. I actually was knee deep in Okami, which was a much better game despite the obvious Zelda influence. It was also my first Wii game, and I didn't play the Gamecube version until years later. I'll be honest and didn't feel like it was one of the better Zelda games. I did enjoy it, but felt that it was lacking compared to the others, considering their general high level of quality. Now that Tantalus has brought the game to the Wii U as an HD port, I re-examined the game to see if my feelings have changed for the game as well as how well a remastering that they did. I can totally tell you that my opinion has changed for the better, if only slightly. But the port still has some issues that cropped up.

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 Review – PlayStation 4 (Also on Xbox One and Steam)
Naruto has had a very long print run as a manga, with the anime version running behind it for not much less. The manga first ran in 1997, with the show airing in 2002, it has about nineteen and 14 years to their respective media to show for it. Now that the series has finally come to an end, the most successful videogame series based on it also must follow suit. While the game doesn't change much and its budget is lower than previous games, it still manages to go out with a bang.

TOM CLANCY'S: The Division Review – PlayStation 4 (Also on Xbox One and Windows PC)
Tom Clancy's: The Division is a new original game from Ubisoft Massive. This developer originally started out as Massive Entertainment in 1997 and worked on some great strategy games like Ground Control and World in Conflict. When they were picked up by Ubisoft in 2008, they helped put out with Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Far Cry 3. The pedigree of this studio is great. The other side of this story is the Tom Clancy name. Those with a long memory will remember his name hitting games as far back as 1998 with the original Rainbow Six but games based upon his books reach all the way back to 1987. In a rapidly evolving industry, the Tom Clancy name has brought to life several innovative and popular franchises like the aforementioned Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and several others. There were a few misses but for the most part, it has been a mark of a quality game. Especially with the resurgence of Rainbow Six with Siege this past year, the name being on The Division should indicate some confidence on the part of Ubisoft and Massive. With these two facts combined, the pedigree of the studio and the Tom Clancy name, this should make anyone hyped about the potential of this game.

Pokkén Tournament Review – Wii U
Remember the 90's when weird arena based fighting games all came out of the woodwork? After games like Ballz, Wargods, Zero Divide, Destrega, Virtual On, Power Stone 1 and 2, and Battle Arena Toshinden, the genre saw a massive exodus. With only Dead or Alive and Soul Caliber remaining as the bastion of the sub-genre. Now in 2016, there is a new game that revives the idea of the weird arena fighter. Bandai Namco and the Pokémon Company have teamed up to make Pokkén Tournament. The result is a much better game than any of those examples, even if it's a bit lacking in features.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Review – PlayStation 4 (Also on PS Vita)
While Digimon has existed for many years, there was a whole bunch of games which mostly stayed in Japan, or were of poor quality. The higher quality Digimon games didn't start showing up until the PSP release of Re:Digitize, but even that game didn't make the trip over. Thankfully, before all hope was lost, Bandai Namco decided to localize Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. While the localization is far from perfect and the game itself has some issues, it's still a fun time and it shouldn't be overlooked.

Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright Review – (3DS)
Fire Emblem: Awakening was Intelligent Systems planned final game in the series. But due to their efforts, it ended a huge success, selling over 2 million globally. It effectively revitalized the franchise. With the tweaks made to the long standing formula, the game would seem hard to top. While Fire Emblem Fates manages this, it only just barely accomplished this task: Which is still a fact worth celebrating, even if it was split into three parts. Birthright, the more casual of the two titles, may not have the level of strategy seen in Conquest, but it's still a great standalone game in its own right.

Echoes Of Aetheria Review – Windows PC (Steam)
RPG Maker produced games often don't get much press when it comes to online gaming sites, so maybe it's time to change that. While the engine has it's foibles, the toolkit can churn out some great stuff, especially with the implementation of custom scripts. However, Echoes of Aetheria from Dancing Dragon Games is still an RPG Maker game, and it can't escape the engine's problems, for better or worse. Thankfully, these issues can be looked passed, as there's a great game here with some interesting ideas.

"There is a generic impression that all engineering jobs in this country have been outsourced," Otellini said Wednesday at Portland State University, where he helped lead a White House-sponsored forum on boosting engineering education in the U.S.
"In fact, the opposite is true," Otellini said.
Engineering graduates make 25 percent more than the average college grad, he said, and the U.S. needs three times more than it's producing now.
"What we've not done a good job of," Otellini said, "is either glamorizing them or making it well known that there's an abundance of them here."
The White House sponsored Wednesday's forum as part of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which Otellini joined in February during President Barack Obama's visit to Hillsboro.
Engineering deans from around the country filled out a nine-member panel at the forum, speaking before a room full of Oregon business and civic leaders. The administration sent Energy Secretary Steven Chu to pitch the administration's jobs message: The U.S. needs to out-innovate other countries to retain its economic advantage.
Intel has 16,250 Oregon workers, more than anywhere else the Silicon Valley company operates. It employs more people in the state than any other business, its growth spurred in large part by Oregon's tax structure, which shields the company from most corporate income taxes and property taxes on its equipment.
Wednesday was just the second time Otellini has spoken to an Oregon audience in his six years as chief executive.
While Otellini -- a Republican -- has been publicly critical of the administration's economic policies, he's embraced its efforts to make American companies more competitive by improving education. Specifically, the administration wants 10,000 more engineering grads at U.S. universities every year.
On Wednesday, Otellini announced that 50 companies had pledged to double the number of engineering internships available next year. In addition to Otellini's company, Longview
Fiber Fibre, Tektronix and Xerox are among those committed to joining the initiative.
Also Wednesday, Otellini said industry leaders are working to raise $100 million to help fund specific engineering initiatives -- mentoring, tutoring and field experience -- at targeted universities.
Panelists broadly agreed Wednesday that engineering has gotten a bad rap in the U.S., lamenting with laughs that that there aren't many TV shows that glorify the job. And they said that teaching methods need to improve, noting that large numbers of students transfer out of engineering programs.
PSU engineering dean Renjeng Su sounded a cautionary note on the forum's goal Wednesday, warning that teaching 10,000 new engineering grads to truly innovate costs more than simply certifying that they've taken classes or passed a test.
For his part, Otellini said cost is less of an issue than attracting and retaining engineering students. Foreign students are filling seats in domestic engineering programs, he said, because American students aren't pursuing them.
"We have plenty of spots," he said. "We just need to get more of the population into those spots."

Ft. Wayne, IN- The Aquinas College men's soccer team hit the road on Monday for a key WHAC match-up against the Warriors of Indiana Tech. The Saints came away with a 4-3 victory, improving their record to 12-3 overall and 4-3 in league play.
Aquinas struck early when Aldony Mendez (Grand Rapids/Northview) scored just five minutes into the game. The Warriors knotted the score at 1-1 after scoring on a penalty kick in the 22nd minute.
It looked as though the game would stay tied heading into halftime break, but Peter Brandenburg (Mason/Mason) headed home a pass from Michael Gagnon (Grand Haven/Spring Lake) with just over a minute left in the half to give the Saints a 2-1 lead.
The Warriors looked to keep the game close in the second half, but Aldony Mendez had a different idea. The sophomore from Grand Rapids netted goals in the 57th and 66th minutes to give the Saints a comfortable 4-1 lead. Mendez is currently tied for the conference lead in points with 36 and is second in goals with 16. His eventual game winner in the 66th was assisted by Jonathan Spencer (Traverse City/West), who now has 18 points on the season.
Two late goals by the Warriors closed the gap to 4-3, but the Saints were able to hold on for the key conference win. Junior Craig Demshuk was credited with the victory in goal after recording two saves. The Saints out shot the Warriors 16-6.
At 4-3, the Saints now find themselves tied for fourth-place in the WHAC with Marygrove. The two teams will meet on Wednesday at the Aquinas Athletic Field in a game with major conference tournament implications. Game time is 4:00 pm.

Essie Sweet Time of the Year: Winter Collection
|Product: Essie Winter 2009 Collection, Nail Lacquer 0.5 oz
|Price: $8.00 Retail
|Steph's Rating:
|Buy it: Essie, Professional Salons, E-tailers
It's that Sweet, Sweet time of the year and this Winter Essie whips up three fun n' fresh, candy coated colors sure to please your cravings!
In this limited edition collection, we have a mixture of three juicy hues of red, pink and a luscious creme de menthe dessert you don't want to pass up. Each color applied like butter. The formula was pure perfection!
Check em' out!
Lollipop is a juicy, mouth-watering red creme/jelly. It's a bit sheer and transparent on my nails as you can see in my first picture above.
Rock Candy is a sheer pink that's very Essie-esque.
I was most excited to swatch Mint Candy Apple and she does not disappoint! A perfect combination of blue and green pastel that's very unique. Looks great on most skin tones too!
For my dupe lovers, Mint Candy Apple is one of a kind. More blue than most mint greens I own, but not quite as blue as For Audrey.
And for my dotters!
It wouldn't be the same without some fun polka dots? Which is your favorite? I think I like the red with mint green dots best.
Overall, Good Collection. A fun and refreshing breath of Holiday color. Mint Candy Apple is simply amazing; a definite must have Diva's! Application and formula perfecto!
Spill the beans, who picked up Mint Candy Apple? How fabulous is it? Have a wonderful night!

Hi Tami,
Aww, Thanks so much! With a little time and lots of practice it's a piece of cake!

Hi Keri,
It looks like Mint Candy Apple is still available online at the Etailers - Transdesign, Head2Toe or Victoria Nail Supply :)
Colette said on Dec 3rd, 2009 8:25 am
Just a quick note on Mint Candy Apple having a dupe - looks like it's very close to Nfu-Oh #172 over at Polish Hoarder Disorder. Different in the bottle but almost identical on the nail. (http://polishhoarderdisorder.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-like-committing-treason.html)

I really like the red w/ mint green dots as well... makes me think of a vintage bathing suit!
Stephanie said on Dec 3rd, 2009 11:44 am
I got Mint Candy Apple a while ago but I\'m not in love with it. It\'s bluer than I thought it would be. Maybe I just need to try it again.
auroragyps said on Dec 3rd, 2009 2:47 pm
I'm wearing Mint Candy Apple right now. while putting it on last night, I found it a tad thick, but a few drops of thinner fixed that right up. I like it and while I wish it was a bit more green, I'm going to leave it as it is.

Lucy said on Dec 10th, 2009 4:35 pm
I adore your polka dot manicures! They are beautiful. I most definitely have to get the Mint Candy Apple. I don't know what I'm waiting for.

Moojou Enterprises Launches A New Line Of Microfiber Cleaning Products
Moojou, a Danish company, launches a new line of Microfiber Cleaning Products exclusively on Amazon.com, the first item on this new market is Clean Screen Wizard Microfiber Cleaning Cloth 6-Pack.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 28, 2014 ) Svendborg, Syddanmark -- Gadgets have ended up becoming an integral part of everyday lives. Most people take them everywhere, use them at all moments and they can not stand to be without them and because they are so important its important to take good care of them and try to spare them from scratches or damage. In truth, these helpful little devices cost a considerable amount of cash and that is just one of the innumerable reasons to take good care of them.
Clean Screen Wizard 6-Pack screen cleaner for iPad, iPhone, TV screen, LCD TV, computer screen, and others delicate screen.
Clean Screen Wizard 6-Pack screen cleaner for iPad, iPhone, TV screen, LCD TV, computer screen, and others delicate screen.
With this idea in mind, the next question people ask is, how can electronic devices always be kept in the best condition, free from scratches and with a clean display. Microfiber cleaning cloths can really help with this desire, it is considered one of the best, and certainly the most simple, cleaning option in the market.
Moojou Enterprise has made public its new line of microfiber cleaning products. The company's first product to be launched on Amazon.com, its exclusive market, is Clean Screen Wizard Microfiber Cleaning Cloth 6-Pack. It's now offered at a price of $14.99, a great opportunity for purchasers to save $5 on each purchase. If professionals of the field are to be believed, special rate cuts, have a great effect sparking the interest of customers, particularly with the pervasive help of the Internet. This is a perfect advertising approach for businesses and helps capture the interest of many prospective customers searching for deals and discounts that will help them get the most of their limited budget and cash. When a product suddenly appears at a low price, individuals who steered clear of it previously, suddenly become interested in getting the very same item, simply to save money.
When contacted, Johanna Rivero, the co-founder, said, "Yes, we are providing discount rates on our product that will provide our purchasers the opportunity to save approximately 25% off normal retail prices. We want our products to reach Amazon.com's large customer base and this will help." She further stated, "Our product is something anyone needs, cleaning delicate screens with any regular fabric can quickly create permanent scratches and will not really help get rid of oily spots. We are also offering a 100 percent hassle-free guarantee to all our customers, so there are no worries on the client side".
These microfiber cloths are supplied with PVC carry packages and are exclusively sold on the online retailer Amazon.com. Made with the best quality microfiber and the highest quality requirements, as vouched by the SGC certification sported by the cleaning cloth 6-pack. These special screen cleaner cloths are ideally suited for removing dust and fingerprints from all kinds of displays and even optical surfaces, including digital and DSLR camera lenses, cellular phones, laptop displays, sunglasses and other optics, iphones, binoculars, tablets, ipads and touch screens among others.
Stefano B., a CSW customer, stated, "The cloths work fine, specially on my cellphone where it leaves the screen like new. With my Mac, with a very dirty screen, I had to help the process with a bit of water and then the cloth was able to take it all off. The pouches are useful and the large white cloth is fine for TV screens. You can see and feel their quality. Something I also like is that they do not have any chemical or bad smell, just an good odor".
This Microfiber 6-Pack offers both Large & Medium sized cloths. One large-sized white one (11.5 x 8 in.) as big as a standard US letter-size sheet of paper, three black and two blue medium-sized (7 x 6 in.) that are a bit under half (43%) the surface area of a normal letter-size sheet of paper.
The Company also offers a special "WIN-WIN GUARANTEE". If this Screen Cleaner 6-pack kit fails to offer a high quality experience and superb results, customers can get a complete refund-- no questions asked. It certainly is a win/win chance across the board: Buyers can rest assured they'll be treated to a risk-free shopping experience with's A-to-z Guarantee Protection, while offering their devices the very best in screen cleaning care with Clean Screen Wizard.

Will the Fed need (gasp!) a government bailout?
Interesting piece from Team Reuters that examines that possibility (and what it really means) as a result of all the central bank's asset buys (bold is mine):
But the Fed's newfangled policy steps and the potential for credit losses raises, for some experts, the prospect that the Treasury may actually be forced to "recapitalize" the Fed — economist-speak for what others might call a bail-out. That would be a strange role reversal given the Fed's efforts to ease monetary policy by buying the Treasury's debt, and it could raise a political firestorm from lawmakers who believed all along the Fed was putting taxpayer money at risk. … Varadarajan Chari, an economics professor at the University of Minnesota and a consultant to the Minneapolis Fed, says that at some point during its exit from easy monetary policies, the Fed actually may go broke — at least on paper. "The most obvious exit strategy is, when inflation starts to pick up, to stop and reverse asset purchases," he said. "That's likely to include requiring the Fed in an accounting sense to see a significant accounting loss."
The Fed now holds just over $1 trillion in Treasuries, Chari noted, and if inflation rose by a couple of percentage points, it would dent the value of those holdings by about 10 percent, leaving the Fed with a $100 billion loss. "I'm sure it will have some negative political fallout," Chari said. "But not economic consequences. Their ability to print money means it (insolvency) doesn't mean anything."
The problem lies in the basic workings of fixed income. By definition, bond prices decline when their yields or interest rates go up. That means that as the economy recovers and pushes inflation higher, the Fed will move to increase interest rates, pushing down the value of its giant bond portfolio. "What would the international reaction be if the Fed suddenly had to go and be recapitalized?" said Bob Eisenbeis, chief monetary economist at Cumberland Advisors and a former head of research at the Atlanta Fed. "I don't think that would bode well for Treasuries, or for the dollar, or anything else. It would be embarrassing."
Eisenbeis is right. If and when this happens, the financial nuances will certainly get lost and give plenty of additional ammo (not that they need it) to the anti-Fed movement.

Maybe the IRS could use a bail-in in the form of a voluntary tax that repays if the economy improved to a level that protects national security – ability to transfer debts to a guarantee note to share risk and reward specific shared goals if attained where downside simply confirms a more aggressive natural devaluation.

The Trail Blazers maintained their grip on eighth place in the nip-and-tuck Western Conference playoff standings Wednesday night with a 102-79 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Here's what coach Nate McMillan said during his postgame meeting with the media:
Happy with that?
"I was. Just a nice job. This is a tough game to play after being on the road for so long. And having success and coming in ... (it) felt like another road game. I thought our guys were business, right from the start. We won every quarter and both units, I thought, played well."
Feel like you're gaining a rhythm?
"It's starting to come together, where they're starting to get a feel for one another. (Marcus) Camby seems to be getting a little bit more comfortable with where he needs to be out there. Defensively, a team like this is a challenge because they can shoot the ball. Only one guy tonight really was able to score for them. We forced them to do what we wanted them to do. And that rhythm on both ends of the floor seems to be coming.
"I like what the second group did tonight. (Jerryd) Bayless, Rudy (Fernandez), that group. (Juwan) Howard. (Dante Cunningham) came in and was on (Danny) Granger. So, yeah, we are getting a rhythm and a rotation that we are comfortable with."
A lot of your baskets came after making several passes. Was that a good sign?
"Yeah, it is a good sign; to move the ball, set screens. Don't ball-fake an open man. We've got guys who can put the ball in the basket and once we understand our spacing and we understand giving guys opportunities to play ... you're going to have open shots and then it's up to us to knock them down."
New Orleans and Houston lost tonight. Nice to get that extra space?
"I think it's going to be a tight race. For us, our focus is on us. We're in the driver's seat regardless of what they do. If we take care of our business, we're going to be OK. And to start watching the standings like that — we know where we are. It's like watching the (stock) market. It goes up and down. You can go crazy with that. So the focus for me and the team is on ourselves, making sure we take care of business and try to have a strong finish."
Had to be pleased with your energy?
"What you need in situations like that is for your bench ... to give you a lift. And that's exactly what happened. I thought Bayless was great on the ball, pressuring the ball and setting the tone. Rudy got to running around. D.C. came in and kind of helped us with Granger. He didn't score when D.C. was guarding him. I thought our second group came in and did some good things. The first group came back and, in the third and fourth quarter, did a nice job. So, you need everybody in situations like that. The fact that we were able to get every quarter tonight, did a nice job of the taking care of the ball, rebounding the ball, and not turning it over; it was a great effort by the entire group."
You guys have three days off. Is that a good thing?
"We don't know what to do with ourselves. (laughs) It's the schedule. We've played a number of games and we're going to take tomorrow off. The guys definitely need that and we have two days to get ready for Denver. It's a (break) we really need. We're about three or four games ahead of most of the league as far as games played and this is a time that we can start to try and allow some of these guys to rest and recover."

Twenty-fourth General of the Society of Jesus ; born of humble parentage at Melgar de Fernamental, Burgos, Spain, 19 August, 1846; died at Fiesole, Italy, 18 April, 1906. After a course of six years in the seminary of Burgos, he entered the Society at Loyola, in 1864; studied philosophy at Léon, Vals (Haute-Loire, France ), and Poyanne (Landes, France ), and theology at the last-named place, where he also taught theology. He was ordained priest in 1876, was successively rector of the seminary of Salamanca, director of "El Mensajero" (The Messenger), superior of the college of Deusto-Bilbao, provincial of Castile, and vicar ; and was general of the Society from 2 October, 1892, until his death. The disease (sarcoma) which ended his life necessitated the amputation of an arm and other painful operations, which he bore with Christian fortitude. His superior talents were shown in such splendid works as the rebuilding of the great seminary at Salsmanca, the foundation of the Cornillense seminary, and his plan for compiling the history of the Society. In prose he wrote with a nervous and graceful style, in verse with a robust sonority and great wealth of imagery, while as a preacher the elegance of his diction, the profundity of his thought, and his emotional warmth made him almost unrivaled among the Spanish orators of his time. His published works include: Discurso leido en el tercer centenario de la muerte de Sta. Teresa (discourse on St. Teresa's centenary), (Madrid, 1882; Bilbao, 1891; Barcelona, 1908); De Studiis Theologicis ordinandis (Bilbao, 1892); an epistle to the fathers and brothers of the society ; articles in El Mensajero , I (1886), of which he was editor for some years; and some uncollected poems.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.
