No, I don't think this deal will help or hurt the team. Estes isn't the answer to get the Reds to the post season this year. There is no answer. It's not going to happen. But to think the Reds got an antique in exchange for four pieces of junk is foolhardy. This trade was nothing more than re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.Originally posted by ramp101
estes will hurt this team more than he will help it...i think that is what guernsey is saying

I am making a cardboard helmet so looking for a cheap LED set up for the range finder. I think I am going to go with this kit (Electronic Rainbow Red Blinkey RB 2 | eBay) or something similar, however my issue is how to install a tilt switch. I feel confident in assembling the kit since it has directions, but completely zero idea when it comes to how/where to install the tilt switch.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Quote from: kathyp on March 03, 2013, 06:06:44 PMQuoteWhat will happen to a female in hand to hand combat properly trained, it has nothing to do with strength. of course, not all the services train to the same level.....The "toughest" martial arts instructor (also the 'funnest', but not necessarily 'best' - very good though) Was a "girl" who was easily a foot and 60 pounds smaller than me. Getting her to submit to a technique was like trying to strangle an eel. (try strangling an eel someday). You couldn't hit her - she was never 'there' - you couldn't body punch her (she was also not there, but would aid you faster to the ground.). If you tried to put her in a lock, you were soon to find out how easy a lock is reversed. Girls are often better than Men more quickly thoroughly than men - because the ego with "upper body strength" gets in the way of learning the art properly.

What will happen to a female in hand to hand combat
I'm pretty sure I could train women to be the most ruthless, vicious fighting machines the world has ever seen. "Girls, here's what I want you to do: - Your enemy is actually your boyfriend/husband, and he's just come home at 02:30, smelling of bourbon, there's glitter on his cheek, and lipstick on his neck. - Go Get 'em!" - This is of course only for 'no prisoners/no quarter' conditions.
this is cruel.http://www.soc.mil/swcs/cst/about.htmlhttp://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/11/nation/la-na-cultural-20111212
... One ...Pakistan wars is... the ...Battle of Chitor. This battle is infamous for the fact that when the defenders saw that they could no longer hold the city in the face determined attacks by their Mogul enemy, the remaining defenders slaughtered every woman inside of the city's walls, all 14,000 of them... ... The first [Mongal] Emperor... was ...Genghis Kahn... The Moguls and their Kahn were well known for their orgies of repeated rapes of female captives whenever they captured a new city or province....

DIY State Ornaments
December 20, 2012 at 12:00 pm melissaanddoug 4 comments
As much as we'd love to see all of our friends and family this holiday season, it's often not possible. But that doesn't mean they aren't on our minds and in our hearts! We decided to honor our loved ones, near and far, by decorating our Christmas tree with ornaments in the shape of the states they live in.
We began by putting together the U.S.A. Map Floor Puzzle by Melissa & Doug. My son, R, had a lot of fun putting this puzzle together and talking about the various states. Once we had it assembled, we began talking about our friends and family and where they are located on the map. We even plotted routes we'd have to take to visit them.
Most of the U.S.A. Floor Puzzle pieces are actually in the shape of the state they represent, so we used these puzzle pieces for the template for our ornaments. We carefully traced around each state onto a thin piece of cardboard and I cut them out.
We decided to make our ornaments out of salt dough, but you could also simply decorate the cardboard states and punch a hole for the ribbon. If you'd like to make yours out of salt dough as well, you can find the recipe we used here. Follow the directions and make sure your surface is heavily floured. Don't forget to flour your cardboard state piece! Just rub some flour on the back before you lay it on the salt dough. I used a plastic knife to cut around the cardboard piece, but you could also use a toothpick. Then press a drinking straw into each state where you'd like the ribbon to be. Bake as usual, let cool and then paint!
These were super easy to create and provide a meaningful reminder of our loved ones. Plus they were fun to make from start to finish! And you don't have to save them all for yourself. Make several of your own state to mail out to those faraway friends.

Reviews of this property
Dieses Appartement ist außerordentlich a) gut gelegen: nur wenige Minuten ins
Zentrum, 400 m zum Strand, b) gut ausgestattet, mit den Einschränkungen: kein WLAN, nur polnische TV Kanäle.
Weitere Beanstandungen: Das Haus selbst ist muffig, im 1. Stock züchtet man Tauben heran, wodurch die ganze Umgebung verschissen ist. Der Hinterhof mit
den Mistkübeln ist seit Monaten nicht mehr gesäubert worden. Im Stock unterhalb
ist ein Balkon voll mit Mist
Lage der Wohnung top, Einrichtung ebenfalls.
Kaffeemaschine und Toaster haben wir vermisst.
Waschmaschine war während unseres Aufenthalt angeblich kaputt, sollte umgehend repariert werden, über deren Realisierung wurden wir jedoch nicht unterrichtet. Wir können die Wohnung absolut weiter empfehlen.
We have had a wonderful nice trip to Sopot. We were picked up at the airport as agreed by a very nice man who drove us straight to the apartment. There we were met by another man who checked us into the apartment. Everything worked very well. The apartment was as expected, but it was very noisy from traffic. (we traveled in the middle of summer when so many had holiday). When we let the evening we had to close the windows because of the traffic outside, which made it increasingly became a bit stale air in the bedroom (it was very hot outside too). The balcony was a bit small but enough space for two to three people. The apartment was decent for the price, and we can recommend it to others. Sleep sofa could be a little more comfortable.
Very clean, modern, spacious between beach and station. Very late night pickup was no problem. Recommended!
Very clean, modern, spacious between beach and station. Very late night pickup was no problem. Recommended!
a great place to stay - The appartment is carefully furnished in a very pleasant mix between vintage and modern. It is equipped with everything you need.
The apartment was wonderful and very tastefully decorated. All information in the description to be met. When we could not meet the specified arrival time, the administration was very responsive on site and found us a solution as we could still pick up the key at a later hour. The only drawback was the staircase. It smelled pretty musty, but you have not noticed them in the apartment. All in all we were very pleased and can really recommend this wonderful apartment.
Das Apartment war wunderbar und recht geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Alle Informationen in der Beschreibung trafen zu. Als wir die angegebene Ankunftszeit nicht einhalten konnten, zeigte sich die Verwaltung vor Ort sehr entgegenkommend und fand mit uns eine Lösung, wie wir zu späterer Stunde den Schlüssel noch abholen konnten. Das einzige Manko war das Treppenhaus. Das roch recht muffig, allerdings hat man in der Wohnung davon nicht gemerkt. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und können dieses wunderbare Apartement wirklich weiterempfehlen.
This is a very nice apartment with lots of space and the pictures perfectly matches the reality. Tomasz arranged by the agency that we got picked up at the airport and that worked out perferctly. Sopot is a very beautyful and lively little city with nice beaches. The double bed is good, but with a better third bed it would have been even better, than it would be 5 stars.
We had a great stay in Sopot. The apartment was great, a dainty newly renovated apartment, with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Got picked up at the airport and were greeted by a pleasant young man who brought us when we were going home. Close to all amenities. A place we can safely recommend. Regards S & P
Vi hadde et supert opphold i Sopot. Leiligheten var helt topp, en lekker nyrenovert leilighet, med alt du trenger for et hyggelig opphold. Ble hentet på flyplassen, ble møtt av en hyggelig ung mann, som hentet oss når vi skulle hjem. Kort vei til alle fasiliteter. En plass vi trygt kan anbefale. Hilsen K & S

Ukulele Festival
Small instrument draws big crowd
By BARBARA TAORMINA
Sunday News Correspondent | August 24. 2013 9:26PM
Cyrus Graves, 19, and his aunt, Ellin Perry, traveled from their home in Montpelier, Vt., to play with other people at Nashua's first Ukulele Festival on Saturday. (BARBARA TAORMINA/Union Leader Correspondent)
But plan a ukulele festival, and they will come - from all over New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
"And it's easy," said Chung. "In five minutes, you can learn enough chords to get up and running."Chung and his son, Ben, who started a Ukulele Club at Bishop Guertin High, have been playing for years.
Chung said his son was amazed when he heard ukulele maestro Jake Shimabukuro perform and was instantly hooked. The Chungs, who also publish a ukulele newsletter, knew there was a growing interest in ukuleles, and having a citywide festival seemed like a logical step.
A lot of uke players credit the 2010 documentary "The Mighty Uke: The Amazing Comeback of a Musical Underdog," as the driving force behind the current ukulele renaissance.
"We do country western music, "Flowers on the Wall," "Psycho Killer," just about everything," said Russell. "Anything can be played on a ukulele."
Concord resident Sam Brown, a musician who is planning a career in music therapy, brought his electric ukulele.
"And it's portable," Chung said with a laugh.
The ukulele's other big selling point seems to be that it's a social instrument. People strum ukuleles, and when there's strumming, a lot of time there's singing right behind it.
Nashua resident Bob Carlson said he and his wife have a big basket of low-skill musical instruments, including ukuleles, and when company comes over, the music starts.
Although uke players all say it's an easy instrument to learn, it's not a simple instrument to master. Like many things, Chung said, ukulele music starts out simple and moves up to being highly complex. It's up to individual players to decide how much time they want to invest.
But whether one is an accomplished ukulele player or a beginner, Chung said, it's the instrument's unique sound that players and audiences like.

The William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies has much to celebrate at its Tenth Anniversary Open House. During an all-day event from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Jan. 23, the Center, located at 4206 Yoakum Blvd., is open to the public to take a tour and celebrate its 10th year as a Center for Excellence at the University of St. Thomas.
Among the top 10 exemplary Irish Studies programs in North America, the Center offers a wide range of cultural events to the campus community and the community-at-large as well as academic courses in Irish Studies, both on campus and in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Center serves as a focal point for the study of Irish history, literature, politics, law, language, music, art, drama, culture and society.
Senior Erin Medve is pursuing an Irish Studies minor and has taken three courses in Irish language. She said she desires to gain a more thorough knowledge of Irish culture, history and literature. She said she also is enrolled in Intermediate Irish II because the Irish language is beautiful, and its development has a very powerful history of its own.
"The Center has helped me grow in appreciation of Ireland and my Irish heritage," Medve said. "I am proud to be a part of the program. We also have a terrific Irish Club for students that hosts frequent events, such as storytelling, céilí dancing and films. The Center's monthly cultural outreach events provide all of us with insight into literary, historical and cultural aspects of Ireland."
Janna Tierney, a freshman in Irish Studies, said she is interested in Irish Studies because her mother is a dual Irish/American citizen. Tierney also has published a children's book on Ireland.
"I would like to improve my knowledge of the Irish language to help me with similar books in the future," Tierney said. "I have benefited from the Center's Irish cultural events and concerts. I hope to support the Center by volunteering and through my continuing interest in Irish Studies courses."
Lori Meghan Gallagher, J.D., has been the director of the Center since its creation in January 2003. She teaches Irish history and politics courses and oversees Irish Studies academic, cultural outreach and study abroad programs.
"It is amazing to look back over the last 10 years during which we literally built our Center from the ground up," Gallagher said. "We are very proud of the tremendous faculty, staff, student and community contributions to the academic, cultural outreach and study abroad programs that serve as the foundation of our Center. We would like to thank everyone for a wonderful 10 years. Please come and celebrate our 10th anniversary and welcome in the new year."
With the mission to promote peace and reconciliation and preserve Irish heritage and culture, the Center has received many accolades and awards from various Irish and Irish American magazines, newspapers and organizations throughout the years.
St. Thomas is one of a few universities west of the Mississippi with a minor and graduate concentration in Irish Studies and a Center for Irish Studies.
Irish Studies actively supports UST study abroad in Ireland during the academic year at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland. Scholarships have been awarded on an equal-opportunity basis to more than 60 students ranging from $1,000 to $6,000 per student based upon scholarship, merit and financial need. The Center has raised more than $352,000 through January 2013 to benefit the academic program and scholarship fund for UST students to study abroad in Ireland and Northern Ireland during summer and academic year programs.
Additionally, the Center sponsors a Study USA/Business Education Initiative Program Scholarship for Students from Northern Ireland. UST has participated for eight years and the Center has awarded more than $160,000 in full tuition scholarships for students to attend UST. These students take eight courses of business and two elective courses during a full year.
Dr. Joseph McFadden, former UST president and professor emeritus, founded the Center in 2002 and UST opened the Center in 2003. In 2010, St. Thomas named the Center after William J. Flynn, a major contributor to peace in Northern Ireland, chairman emeritus of Mutual of America Life Insurance Company in New York and chairman of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy.
For more information about the open house event to celebrate the anniversary, contact the Center at email@example.com or 713-525-3592.

By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
RUMFORD, Maine (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's Nordic ski teams continued their participation at the U.S. Cross Country Championships on Friday in the classical races at Black Mountain, with a pair of freshmen turning in strong performances in the junior events.
In the junior men's 10K classic, freshman Matt Nichols (Wausau, Wis.) raced to a 55th-place finish in a tough field of 100 competitors. His time of 30:12.4 was just 2:35 off the winning time. On the women's side, freshman Hanne Guthrie (Chanhassen, Minn.) had a good showing in the junior 5K classic, placing 56th in 16:15.8 - 1:40 off the lead pack.
Leading the way for the Phoenix men in the 30K classical event was sophomore Eddie Gurney (Brookfield, Wis.), who placed 50th with a time of 1:35:58.1. Sophomore Wayne Clark (New Paltz, N.Y.) placed 76th (1:51:58.3).
Phoenix sophomore Kailey Mucha (Soldotna, Alaska) - skiing unattached from the team - turned in a solid finish in the women's 20K classic, placing 30th (1:11:54.4) out of 53 competitors.

Julia Gillard on 702 Mornings
15/04/2013 , 7:24 PM by Matt Bevan
Julia Gillard says that education is the moral issue that drew her into politics in the first place and yesterday she made an announcement which may alter education in Australia permanently.
The Federal Government's plan to overhaul school funding has gained support from NSW Principals and the Teacher's Federation, a mixed response from the state governments and anger from universities, and Barry O'Farrell says while he regards the reform as monumental and visionary, he's not sure where the money will come from.
The Prime Minister spoke to Sarah Macdonald on 702 ABC Sydney Mornings today.

"I absolutely loved this card! We ordered it in pearl shimmer white and it turned out wonderfully... We actually got it 3 days early too at no extra cost."
"I was really impressed with the final look and quality of the card. The design is beautiful and contemporary. I left all of the colors exactly how they are pictured with a little change of the wording. My only complaint is that the "free" envelopes were very thin and see through. If I would do it again, I would pay extra and opt for a thicker/better quality envelope. That being said, this card is fantastic!"
"I looked every where and could find a card that was neutral and had the option to white a message in the back. I really like this card I chose the pearl paper option I came out beautiful. Love it!"
"Like another reviewer; I had the text changed to "we have an egg in our nest" vs. "we filled the nest." In this day and age when people announce such important things via social media, I am very excited to let our closest friends and family know the great news with these beautiful announcements. The customer service was absolutely wonderful as always; I just love Tiny Prints!"
"Thick high quality paper, also printed on recycled paper which is important to us. When we ordered, we wanted the caption under the photo on the back that we added to be 2 different font sizes, so we made a note of it, and it came out perfectly! We are so happy with Tiny Prints and will definitely order all our cards and invites through them in the future!"

Geographic Information
REGION: Mountain, though parts are technically located in the Piedmont
RIVER BASIN: Broad
NEIGHBORING COUNTIES: Buncombe, Burke, Cleveland, Henderson, McDowell, Polk
See also: Chimney Rock.
Rutherford County, located on the border of the Piedmont and Mountain regions of North Carolina, was formed in 1779 and named after Revolutionary War general Griffith Rutherford, a member of the North Carolina Provincial Congress. Early inhabitants of the area included the Cherokee Indians, followed by Scotch-Irish, German, French, Swiss, and English settlers. Rutherfordton, the county seat, was incorporated in 1787 and has the same namesake as the county. Other Rutherford County communities include Forest City, Harris, Ellenboro, Union Mills, Sunshine, Thermal City, and Chimney Rock. The Bechtler Mint, established in 1831 near Rutherfordton, minted more than $2 million in gold coins from 1831 until the late 1840s.
The Lake Lure region, including Chimney Rock, is an important tourist area, adding revenue to the county's economy. Filmmaking has also been important to Rutherford County, which was the site of the filming, at least in part, of the popular movies Last of the Mohicans (1992), Dirty Dancing (1987), and Firestarter (1984). Rutherford County is also home to historic sites and landmarks such as the Carrier-McBrayer House (ca. 1835) and the Lake Lure Inn and Resort (1920s). Cultural institutions include the Forest City Performing Arts Guild, Isothermal Community College Players and Singers, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and Gem Hill Ruby Mine. The county hosts festivals and annual events such as the Easter Sunrise Service in Chimney Rock Park, Chimney Rock Sports Car Hill Climb, and Lake Lure Dogwood Festival.
Rutherford County produces timber and forest products and its farms raise soybeans, wheat, corn, cotton, pumpkins, Christmas trees, watermelons, strawberries, beef cattle, poultry, and hogs. Manufactures include textiles, apparel, furniture, bricks, concrete products, and bronze castings. The county is also home to minerals such as garnet, granite, gneiss, beryl, quartz, galena, fuchsite, corundum, and diamonds. In 2004 Rutherford County's population was estimated at 63,200.

Japan's Abe turns to South East Asia to counter China
By Linda Sieg and Jonathan Thatcher
TOKYO/JAKARTA (Reuters) - The last time he was prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe's inaugural foreign trip was to China. In the job again 7 years later and relations with Beijing now chilly, Abe is turning first this time to the rising economic stars of Southeast Asia.
A hawkish Abe wants them to help counterbalance the growing economic and military might of China at a time when Japan needs new sources of growth for its languishing economy and is debating whether to make its own military more muscular.
But experts warn he will have to tread carefully during his visits to Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, beginning on Wednesday, to avoid provoking China by appearing to be trying to "contain" it.
China is also scouring the region in search of investment and trade opportunities and sources of raw materials. But it is also clashing with countries in the region over territorial rows in the South China Sea, as well as with Japan over tiny isles in the East China Sea.
Moreover, Abe may find his hosts keen to avoid upsetting China, now their major economic partner as well.
"The Japanese government is trying to solidify its relations with other countries in the region and strengthen its bargaining power before talking to China," said Narushige Michishita, an associate professor at the National Graduate Institute.
Abe had hoped to go first to Washington after his Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) big win in an election last month, in order to bolster a security alliance with his country's main ally. But because U.S. President Barack Obama was too busy, Abe will start with members of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Japanese companies are already eyeing Southeast Asia as an alternative to investment in China after a long-simmering feud over disputed islands in the East China Sea flared up last year, sparking protests in China and hurting trade. Continued...

I was wondering if there is an EE-3 blaster papercraft thing like that helmet and jetpack templete.
I was wondering if there is an EE-3 blaster papercraft thing like that helmet and jetpack templete.
Even easier than that! Download WOF's blueprints and scratch build one like I did.
lol i have a cheating way of doing this sorta, but u need about 30 bux and a walmart.
theres a kids lazer tag rifle of boba fetts its a kids size of the esb version ee3, but if u remove the stock and replace it with a longer wood one, paint it, elongate the barrel, its is a working noise making identical. cost aout 50 bux total and if u have a dremel tool, is an *** load easier to do.
he didnt send me that link. share please? i would be eternally grateful.
Mustang, are you talking about the new Hasbro Boba gun? It makes a decent custom pistol, but unless you are 5-3, it's alot cheaper and easier to scratch build one. I spent $10 and a few hours on mine.
My ESB Build
huh well i never thought about scratching it, but then again, i can also use the pistol part instead of ordering the flare gun.
all i had to do was stretch the barrel, fill in the screw holes, put carbon tubing around the barrel inside it, lengthen and replace the stock with wood, and metal frame ring, and then spray paint it black, wear-tear it, and voila.
if u have the templates for the homemade EE3 i would love to try it out. *sees the hyper link*
ooh that IS impressive. although the EE3 is the one that has the spines on the barrel. but i digress, yours is impressive.
but if u have 40 bucks to spare, my ee3 worked out fine. when i have some pix, i will show ya kk?
Well it's a good idea to just buy a pistol to work with as an original Webley Flare gun will run you about $1200 bucks. For templates, you can just read my WIp and search on here for WOF's drawings for the accurate blueprints. As for the designation of EE-3, I not concerned with what it's called, I am building an ESB Boba, therefore need the ESB gun. That one does not have fins. It's simply a Webley with the same Graflex flash tube they use for Vader's saber as the tip, a scope added to the top, with molex connectors and v-8 model engine parts for greebs.

Professor Dorgan teaches with the understanding that each student will formulate their own artistic philosophies.
Eugene Dorgan
Professional Title: Associate Professor of Foundation
Areas of Academic Focus and Expertise: Fine Arts: Painting and Printmaking
Area of Work and Concentration at Lesley: Foundation
Representative List of Recent Courses Taught: Hands, Head, Feet; Form, Content and Context; Color and Composition
Education: MFA, Painting, Boston University (1983); BFA, Painting, Boston University (1981); AA, Liberal Arts, University of Wisconsin Center-Richland (1977)
Representative List of Recent Publications / Exhibitions:
My favorite cartoonists are Mort Drucker, Pat Oliphant, and Hayao Miyazaki; I ride a geeky bike—with baskets; I'm a documentary movie addict; Two of my favorite feature films are On the Waterfront and Lawrence of Arabia; I think Kathy Griffin is hilarious; I'm a horable speller.
As an early art student, I had no shortage of passion, but I found the art world incomprehensible. Not particularly career focused, I was enthralled with the magical abilities of my favorite artists. They were my Jedi Knights, and I wanted to know their secrets. But my years in art school gave me more than I originally planned. They shaped me into a cultured person. Beyond the youthful desire to stretch my abilities, I began to see art as way of thinking about the world, and a means by which to participate with it.
Every student's path is different. Teachers differ also. Some teach through fear, others with tender encouragement. My approach is to be as practical as possible—to share what I know and believe, and then do my best to stay out of the way.

The Woot Writers' Strike Committee has obtained this shocking internal email detailing head fatcat Matt Rutledge's scheme to replace us with a comedy machine! Everyone who believes human jokes should be written by human writers must read this! Everyone else, you'll get the jokes you deserve - just look at the Woot product descriptions today!
From: Matt Rutledge, Founder and CEO of Woot (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Sun, Apr. 1 at 8:00 AM
Subject: Those Idiots Who Write Our Stuff Are On Strike? Did I Hear That Right?
To: Company
Hey Woot,
I don't like writing emails like this, but I feel it necessary to address some untoward rumors circulating the Woot offices, mainly because you nosy jerks won't stop asking me about it. I cut my daily three-hour milk bath in HALF for this, you know. I thought we all agreed after the debacle with the spoiled tuna salad I brought in for the potluck that it's best if we keep our interactions as brief and limited as possible. Anyway, I guess the Woot writers have gone on strike.
If you're like me, you're first thought was, "Wait? We still have writers?" Honestly, I kind of figured they'd be replaced by a Mad Libs book or some Microsoft Excel spreadsheets full of fart jokes. I'll be honest; I've kind of been asleep at the wheel. Being fabulously wealthy post-merger will do that to you. I mean, not YOU, because you didn't found the company, but me. That's right. Founders' Keepers.
Look, the simple truth is times are tough all over. We've all had to tighten our belts and make sacrifices, myself included. Hell, do you have any idea how expensive it is to outfit a pet orca with properly-sized gold necklaces and a grill? And that's not even accounting for the fact that I like to keep it by my throne so I can casually stroke its head as I stare wistfully into the sky. Those things die after like eight hours out of the water, and orcas are friggin' expensive. I figured I could just keep one in my toilet filled with Voss water, but apparently they have allergic reactions to diamonds.
That's why I've decided to use this opportunity to launch the Sales Copy Automation Bot (SCAB). It's a little thing that, honestly, I thought we were already using. The gist is it takes the ethereal, gossamer humor muse and condenses it into an algorithm or some crap and spits out a hilarious product description. Hey, I read the forums; I know 90% of you guys don't read 'em anyway and the other 10% hate them. So why not give everyone a soulless robot to take out their frustrations on? Another bonus: so far the SCAB system has not developed sentience and thus has yet to ask for anything stupid like a salary or health insurance. If movies and dystopian sci-fi books have taught us anything, it's that robots are the future, so we must embrace a comedy assembly line that's fully automated and treated just well enough so as not to crush our skulls during the inevitable violent uprising.
And what does that mean for Woot? Well, with robots on the clock we'll all be able to enjoy a few more of the little things we've had to do without in this economy. I'm talking caviar more than three times a week, a butler for your butler, and daily massages from an actual geisha from actual Japan, none of this "Well, my grandfather was an immigrant" nonsense.
Plus, the other day I was walking by this pond and saw a golfball on the bottom of it - and not just any golfball, but one of those greenish-yellow ones. With the money we're saving on a writing staff, I can lead an expedition to recover that golfball. I wonder what the Louvre will call the new wing they build to house the golfball after I donate it to them.
I think we can all agree that the SCAB represents a bold new direction for Woot. And if not, I think we can all agree that your opinions don't matter because I already decided we're doing this thing.
Much love,
Matt "Matty Ice" Rutledge
CEO and Founder
Funny, but I'm getting out of here now, before the "Where's my EFFING Bunnies Ogling Carrots" crowd gets here...
What Tiny Flowers? Bunnies Ogling Carrots
woot! Bunnies Ogling Carrots
We love you Woot writers! You deserve better.
round and round we go. Is everyone having fun yet?
Is the game afoot?
Are there any clues anywhere?
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Not sure about this new direction, but I'll support Woot however I can - especially if they throw in a Bunnies Ogling Carrots

Someone noted, the timestamp on the actual letter, is for 8AM on April 1st.

8 am maybe the secret hmmm
ypmhammer wrote:I tried sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com but it came back with an error message.
Yay, I'm not the only person to do that.
It seems there's a chicken and egg problem here. The Woot writers are going on strike because Matt Rutledge is bringing in the SCABs, but he's bringing in the SCABs because the woot writers are going on strike.
So, what, the writers want a cost of living raise? Give it to them. SCAB sucks!
I am so greedy and frustrated right now.
nice thanks got one
8am? Lol, you haven't found it yet? It's sore to be sold out by 8am. Congrats to those who are more clever.
go go go
Be weary, its the first.
Wait, how can we tell the writers are on strike. Product description seems like the same old recycled stuff they put out every day. Just kidding, love the WOOT! writers, bring them back.
ok where is it????
I'm stupid. Someone help.
Help! I never get these
I'm not having fun
Any help on the carrots?
I am so lost
please stop effing with us, and give us the crap.
Anyone else find it ironic that the Woot Writers used WootBot to post a letter that they are going to be replaced by SCAB bots?
Strike? Oh no! Bring back the woot writers!
rooty66 wrote:Strike? Oh no! Bring back the woot writers!
I think I have it figured out now but I dont have any carp.
Funny, a "Haier" Portable Air Conditioner.
My mom has one of these in her house, since it's older and doesn't have central a/c & heat. It works pretty well, but please note it only cools up to about 400-500 sq feet. Would be very useful in a garage turned man cave!
Dangerous to put a robot in charge, they have a tendency to go insane and start doing crazy things like changing ad-copy, adjusting items for sale or killing all humans.
Get them Woot Writers back Woot! Comon!

Mark Weiss Day Raises Scholarship Dollars for Wayne Law Students and Recent Graduates, Serves Disadvantaged Detroit Children
DETROIT (June 15, 2009) – More than 100 Wayne State University Law School alumni, friends and Detroit-area disadvantaged youth gathered for the 6th annual Mark Weiss Day at Comerica Park on June 5, 2009, to watch the Detroit Tigers take on the Los Angeles Angels. The event raised more than $13,000 in support of the Mark Weiss Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was created six years ago to honor the legacy of Wayne Law alumnus Mark Weiss, '69, and his efforts to fight for the rights of the poor and powerless.
The Mark Weiss Memorial Scholarship Fund was established as a joint project of Wayne Law and the Michigan Association for Justice. The original goal of the fund was to raise $250,000 to provide scholarships for Wayne Law students and recent graduates who share the same dream as Weiss – a commitment to providing legal aid to the underserved in the community. This year's event brings the fund's total to more than $265,000.
"In addition to honoring Mark's legacy and raising scholarship dollars, this event provides a wonderful opportunity for area children and Wayne Law students, alumni and friends to participate in one of his favorite pastimes," said Michael Pitt, '74, event organizer and friend of Weiss. "The generous support of more than 200 lawyers, judges, friends and family members over the last six years has allowed us to provide scholarship dollars to 13 Wayne Law students and recent graduates."
According to first-ever recipient Joelle Gurnoe, '05, the scholarship was instrumental during her years as a law student and has proven invaluable well beyond graduation.
"The Mark Weiss Memorial Scholarship gave me the help I needed to continue and successfully complete law school," Gurnoe said. "It was such a sizeable award that it allowed me to leave Wayne Law with fewer loans. The scholarship also allowed me to achieve my career objective to work in public interest law. I am now in private practice and I do a great deal of pro bono work for families with children who have disabilities."
The game marked the first Major League Baseball (MLB) game for many of the children in attendance, who were given the opportunity through the joint efforts of Barry Waldman, '69, Cass Community Social Services and Mom's Place.
"I would like to say thank you, again, to Barry Waldman, Cass Community Social Services and Mom's Place, for their efforts in getting deserving members of our community to the picnic and game," Pitt said. "I look forward to next year's 7th annual Mark Weiss Day."
For more information on how you can make a gift to the Mark Weiss Memorial Scholarship Fund, please contact Mary Hollens, senior director of Development and Alumni Relations, at email@example.com or (313) 577-3113.

My education at Lake State taught me not only the basics of exercise science and health and wellness but prepared me for my future research career. I became involved in national organizations, improved my networking skills to create working relationships, and ended up with an amazing paid internship that turned into a 3-year research professional position at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA. Now in graduate school pursuing a doctorate degree at Virginia Tech, I rely on the knowledge I acquired at Lake State and put it to practice daily while discussing health-related topics in class or conducting obesity and inflammation research in our laboratory.

How often are the PTS Financial Aid Policies Reviewed?
When I receive aid, what is my student obligation?
Are my Wesley credits paid for by my PTS financial aid?
What type of financial aid is available?
Depending on your program and enrollment, you may qualify for Merit Scholarships, Tuition Grant, Housing Grant, Work-Support opportunity and/or federal student loans.
How many credits do I have to take?
A student must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program or the Urban Ministry Certificate for a minimum of six credits to be considered for scholarships, grants, and/or work-support. Students can qualify for federal loans by maintaining a half-time enrollment status in a degree-seeking program.
Do I have to apply for need-based financial aid and loans every year?
Yes, the Seminary's Financial Aid program is based on a nine-month academic period. A student must file a FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool and the PTS Financial Aid Application to be evaluated each year. Other documentation may be requested. Students who cannot use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool are required to provide Tax Transcripts provided by the IRS. Additional forms are required for the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan and Federal Graduate Plus Loans.
When should I apply for need-based financial aid?
Need-based aid for the Master's program (tuition grants, housing grants, work-support) and Urban Ministry Certificate processing begins in November of the previous academic year and continues until the funds have been exhausted. Incomplete packets are not processed. It is recommended that students file no later than April 1 although it is not guaranteed that aid will still be available. A student MUST re-apply each year. Need based aid is not guaranteed unless a student continues to qualify financially, files in a timely manner as complete packets are processed on a "first come - first serve" basis, and meets the requirements of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
What if I file an extension with the IRS?
A student, who is applying for the PTS need-based aid and files an IRS extension, is required to submit additional documentation to the Financial Aid Office. That documentation must include copies of the IRS Form 4868 and the IRS confirmation of receipt. Policy regarding the required documentation remains the same; e.g.. PTS Financial Aid Application. The student's aid will be processed with estimated numbers. The student must submit an actual Tax Transcript or complete the IRS Data Retrieval on the FAFSA by June 1. If all of the necessary application pieces are not submitted by June 1, the application will be placed at the bottom of the Wait List until all documentation is received.
If I am awarded aid and then I defer my enrollment until Term II, will the Seminary hold my aid for me?
No, aid is awarded for students beginning in Term I. If a student defers until a later date, the aid will be awarded to the next name on the Wait List. If a student plans to begin in Term II or III, he/she should contact the Financial Aid Office to inquire about any available funds.
Is there a maximum amount of aid that I can receive in an academic year?
A student is required to report all aid that is received to the Financial Aid Office. Because of federal regulation, if you have a loan your total aid cannot exceed your Cost of Attendance. If this occurs, the Financial Aid Office is obligated to reduce or cancel awards. Loans are always returned first. If a student is receiving financing in any form; scholarships, grants, in-kind support, that equal or exceed the Cost of Attendance, PTS reserves the right to reassign our need-based aid to students on the Wait List.
How does financial aid affect my bill?
If a student's paperwork is complete and his/her aid is approved, it will appear on the bill. Aid is not disbursed to your account until after the Add-Drop period. Contact the Financial Aid Department if you are expecting Seminary or federal aid that does not appear on your account. If your federal loan proceeds create a credit balance, the Student Account Office will issue you a refund check.
What happens if I lost my Award Letter?
The Award Letter is your contract for PTS need-based financial aid. Your signature affirms that you are familiar with the financial aid policies. No aid will be credited to a student's account until the contract is signed and returned to the Financial Aid Office. If no signed contract is received, the Financial Aid Office will re-assign your grant to the next student on the Wait List.
What happens if a student resigns during the term?
If a student resigns during the term, you must contact the Financial Office. You may be entitled to a partial reduction of Seminary charges but your eligibility for aid may change based on your enrollment status. If a student withdraws from a class (or the program), need-based grants will be revoked for that class(es). Financial aid for the academic year will be forfeited if a student drops below full-time enrollment and the aid cannot be reinstated in future terms.
If a student fails to enroll in a term, all aid will be canceled and will not be reinstated for that academic year. All Merit Scholarships are revoked and will not be reinstated for future years. (The Admissions and Standing Committee has the authority to reinstate Merit Scholarship for medical issues; if given prior notification.) Need-based aid will be canceled and awarded to the next person on the Wait-list. The student may apply for need-based aid for the following year. In order to return to a work-support position, the student must be enrolled and inquire at the Financial Aid Department. Jobs will not be held if a student resigns for any reason.
What are some reasons that will disqualify me for PTS need-based grants?
- You will not qualify for PTS need-based aid if you are enrolled less than six credits per term.
- You will not demonstrate "need" if your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), adjusted gross income, income, or liquid assets are higher than the Cost of Attendance.
- You must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.
- Students who are in "default" of their federal educational loans are ineligible for institutional aid.
- PTS does not award aid beyond the specified length of the program chosen. Financial aid will not be provided to any student beyond the minimum credits required for graduation. Should you fail or withdraw with faculty approval from a course(s), there is no aid when the class is repeated.
- If you received financial aid to complete one program, you are not eligible for financial aid for a second program until three years (nine terms) have passed.
- If you misrepresented your financial circumstances on your application, you forfeit consideration for all future aid.
Are there exceptions to the full-time status requirement for "full-time need-based aid"?
PTS, very generously, makes two exceptions to the full-time status requirement for "full-time need-based aid".
- One exception is the graduating senior whose enrollment for the final term is part time. Tuition grants are awarded only if the preceding term had been full-time enrollment.
- Second, a student enrolled full time in a joint (dual) degree program but only in attendance at the Seminary part time.
- For both exceptions, the students will qualify for the PTS Tuition Grant for PTS classes only (PTS will not give aid for classes at another institution.). The student will not qualify for the Housing Grant, Work Support, or Merit Scholarship. The student can file a written appeal with Financial Aid Committee to be considered for work-support eligibility. Eligibility will be based on demand; preference will be given to students enrolled full-time in PTS classes.
Can I receive financial aid for summer enrollment or CPE?
The summer term is considered a "header" for the academic year. Students who qualify for tuition grants for the following academic year may have the summer PTS tuition covered by the Fall grant amount. There are no Merit Scholarships, Housing Grants or work support opportunities during the summer months. Clinical Pastoral Education Credits (CPE) do NOT qualify for PTS grants or loans. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans are available for all master degree-seeking students who meet the standard qualifications and enroll in a minimum of three PTS credits during the summer. Students must submit a separate Summer Loan Request Form and complete the FAFSA. Students qualify for a maximum of $20,500 from June through May. Borrowing during the summer months will reduce the amount of Federal Unsubsidized Loan available during the academic year.

How often are the PTS Financial Aid Policies Reviewed?
The Financial Aid Policies are subject to change. They are operative for the current academic year and represent no commitment beyond the current year, The Financial Aid Policy Committee, conducts an annual review. Updates will be posted to the website.
When I receive aid, what is my student obligation?
Financial aid funds depend on the generous contributions from individuals, churches, and organizations. At the time the student receives a tuition grant contract, he/she is asked to write a letter of thanks. Guidelines for such letters are provided by the Financial Aid Office.
Are my Wesley credits paid for by my PTS financial aid?
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has agreed to financially assist our Methodist students who are required to enroll in Wesley classes. If a PTS student qualifies for the Tuition Grant, we will allow the student to use the grant toward Wesley credits.(Merit Scholarships are not disbursed for Wesley classes.) The following policies will apply:
- Students cannot receive more than the amount of the Tuition Grant. Any difference in cost between PTS and Wesley is the responsibility of the student.
- Students should pay Wesley upon receipt of the Wesley bill. PTS will reimburse after the credits are transferred into PTS.
- PTS will not pay for classes that are taken at the Wesley campus, if the same class is offered on the PTS campus.
- It is the student's responsibility to give written notification to the Financial Aid Office if they are enrolling in Wesley classes and expect financial assistance from PTS.
- Students must submit the written reimbursement request by the end of Term III Add-Drop period. Requests received after Term III Add-Drop cannot be met. At the end of the Add-Drop period, left-over tuition grants are distributed to students on the Wait List so funding is not available for late requests.

Carson City-Crystal rallies beat Vestaburg (Video and Photo Gallery)
CARSON CITY — On a special night, the Carson City-Crystal Eagles put together a special football performance.
The Eagles, celebrating "Salute our Soldiers" night, scored three times — twice after trailing 13-12 — to defeat the Vestaburg Wolverines 28-13 at Community Field on Friday night.
Playing each other for the first time since 1986, the Eagles (3-1, 1-0) handed the Wolverines their first loss of the season, while reaching the halfway mark to guarantee a postseason birth.
"It is so exciting, especially on such a special night," Eagles coach Jason Gray said. "We were really focused all week on not losing our focus on what this game meant. We had our 'Salute our Soldiers' event, we had a huge turnout, but our focus was the football game, too."
The defenses dominated the first three quarters. All but six of the game's 41 points were scored in the final 12:03 minutes of the game.
"We had to dig deep into our playbook, but we made one too many mistakes," Vestaburg coach Dan Ryckman said. "We had them, they had us, but our mistakes ended up hurting us in the end."
Vestaburg's (3-1, 0-1) first crucial mistake came of an Eagles' punt. Punting from the 50-yard line, the Wolverines were called for running into the kicker. The five-yard penalty — Vestaburg's only penalty of the night — was enough for a first down.
The penalty kept the drive going, which led to a 19-yard touchdown run by Arron Haines and a 20-13 Eagles' advantage.
The second mistake resulted in a game-sealing touchdown by Taylor Carter. On Vestaburg's first play after the touchdown, Carter returned a interception 35 yards for the score.
"Our defense won us this game tonight with two huge plays that were interceptions, one for a touchdown," Gray said. "Taylor Carter is exactly what you want as a student athlete. He is a 4.0 (GPA) student and comes to practice. I'm very happy for him and the rest of the team."
Carter said he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
"I read the two (inside) wide receiver and he did a wheel route, which I'm supposed to jump," he said. "I read the ball and came up and made the play. It felt great to help seal it up and get the win for my team."
Carson City-Crystal opened the scoring on its first possession of the second half. Junior Robert Failing scored on a 50-yard touchdown run to make the score 6-0.
A switch to the spread offense generated scoring and momentum for the Wolverines.
"They are a little bit bigger than us," Ryckman said. "We couldn't outmuscle them, so we figured we would put our people in space. I think that went well for us."
The Eagles continued to battle and ultimately wore the Wolverines down.
"I think we wore them down a little bit physically," Gray said. "We got simpler at halftime. That was our only adjustment. Let's just do what we do well. Line up and play football and that's what we did."
"This was a game between two pretty good football teams," Ryckman said. "I'm pretty proud of how our boys played. Carson played a good game, too. You hate to have someone lose a game like this."
The Eagles have won three games for the first time since 2010. That was the team's only three wins of the season, though. Gray called the win a signature win for the Eagles.
"It's huge. We knew this was a pivotal game for us," Gray said. "Coleman, next week, is a very good football team. We knew if we lost this it would be very tough for us to get into the playoffs. This changes the direction for us for the rest of the season."
Failing finished the game with 100 yards rushing on 14 carries. Will Beedy ran hard for 65 yards. Garner Cusack was 2-for-3 for 44 yards and one touchdown.
The Eagles outrushed the Wolverines 216 yards to 104.
Vestaburg's Austin Myers was 8-for-18 for 93 yards. He passed for a touchdown and threw two interceptions. Myers rushed for 47 yards.
Friday's game was played in honor of current military members and veterans. Both teams wore camouflage uniforms and both communities came together to "Salute our Soldiers."
"This was our way to pay honor to those people," Gray said. "Before the opening kickoff it was about paying respect to the people that give us the right to play football games. Without our military we are not playing a football game right now."
The Eagles travels to Coleman next week, while Vestaburg is at Ashley.

Sanyo PLC XP200L - LCD projector - 7000 lumens - XGA (1024 x 768) - 4:3 (PLC-XP200L)Item#: 7785653 | Model#: PLC-XP200L

- $7,495.00

Sanyo PLC XP200L - LCD projector - 7000 lumens - Product Details
The latest SANYO optical engine, called QuaDrive, adds a Color Control Device to conventional 3LCD (red/green/blue) systems. The first projector to launch this innovative new QuaDrive engine is the PLC-XP200L. The additional Color Control Device in the QuaDrive optical engine allows the PLC-XP200L to automatically control the amount of yellow light in the image, producing higher luminosity with improved color accuracy and clarity.
The demand for even brighter projectors continues to come from the field as systems integrators are asked to install video displays in extremely large venues such as convention halls, conference rooms, auditoriums and houses of worship. However, as brightness levels increase on 3LCD projectors, there is a reverse effect in color reproduction. Colors become noticeably washed out, lacking vibrancy and realism.
SANYO's innovative solution overcomes the limitations of 3LCD technology, opening the way for new projectors capable of extremely high luminosity without the trade off in color accuracy. The PLC-XP200L, the first projector to benefit from this new technology, is rated at an amazing 7000 lumens. Coupled with the impressive high contrast ratio of 2200:1, the PLC-XP200L is capable of generating clearer, richer and more beautiful images than was ever possible with high brightness 3LCD projectors.
SANYO developed a new high-speed image compensating LSI for the QuaDrive engine. The combination of this engine and the new LSI allows for up to 20% more color space than our conventional projectors. With the controlled yellow light, SANYOs Advanced Color Correction technology separates each color histogram for unparalleled color processing and correction, resulting in beautiful and naturally rich colors.
Additionally, the PLC-XP200L is equipped with a high-output, single lamp that is designed for exceptional light efficiency. Aside from generating sharper and brighter displays in large halls and meeting rooms, the 4LCD design is well suited for digital signage and advertising in brightly lit environments.
Minimal maintenance and repair was essential for the XP200L, so it was outfitted with SANYOs exclusive Active Maintenance Filter (AMF). AMF is a single filter cartridge that contains ten lengths of filtering material plus an airflow sensor to detect when airflow is obstructed by dust. The AMF system automatically advances a clean section of filter when needed. When the last section of filter material becomes obstructed an on-screen graphic appears telling the user to change the cartridge. Each filter lasts approximately 10,000 hours with a cartridge lifecycle of about 2 years (calculation based on 14 hrs/day projector use). The filters are easy to replace due to the side loading access on the projector. To further increase reliability and performance, the PLC-XP200L uses SANYO's unique Durable Inorganic Optical System (DIOS).
The SANYO PJ-NET ORGANIZER is available, allowing the PLC-XP200L to be connected to a wired network via Ethernet. Using the PJ-NET MASTER software all projector functions such as power status, lamp status, input mode, signal condition, lamp-use time, etc. can be monitored and controlled from a remote location.
For quick and easy installation the XP200L is outfitted with a motor driven vertical and horizontal lens shift. Up/Down/Left/Right lens shift ensures image projection at any angle of up to 360-degrees, allowing ceiling or floor image projection.
A special mechanical shutter is also placed behind the lens and activated by the remote control, allowing the presenter to close the lens and temporarily darken the screen.

Email the hotel for a discount code
Casa de Isabella pays homage to the charm and history of Santa Marta's colonial era while ushering in a future rich in culture and beauty.
Founded in 1525, Santa Marta is Colombia's oldest city. Its natural port provided a refuge from long journeys on Spanish galleons, and its position on the north coast allowed explorers to use it as a base camp for trips to the interior.
Casa de Isabella sits in the Centro Historico, the Old City of Santa Marta. This area, first developed after the Manzanares river receded in 1850, holds buildings that reflect traditional Mudejar architecture. The building's original owners inhabited the house for four generations and contributed significantly to the city's growth in the 19th and 20th centuries. In renovating the hotel for the modern era, we consistently chose classic style, maintaining the original integrity of the building and its surrounding neighborhood.
Our guests feel the simplicity of Santa Marta's natural charm while enjoying modern comforts. From the greenery of the courtyard to the intimacy of a personal rooftop pool, Casa de Isabella fuses the tranquility of Colombian culture with top quality hotel conveniences. With lighting fast Wi-Fi, complimentary I-Pads, and Apple TV, as well as restored furniture and handmade adornments, this hotel stays anchored in tradition while looking ahead toward a bright future. We have proudly renovated the most beautiful boutique hotel in the Colombian Caribbean.

Some people call Wilmington, North Carolina, "Hollywood East" because of all the movies and TV shows filmed here. In the last three decades, more than 400 feature films, documentaries, and television series have been shot and edited around town, drawing notable actors from Andy Griffith to Richard Gere. The city's historic downtown and the state's coastal dunes do make great sets. But rarely will you see a cobblestone street blocked off for filming. This is a local's town.
Wilmington, which predates the Revolutionary War, exudes a strong sense of place ―something that has attracted Hollywood. Visitors who come to tour historic home museums or lounge at nearby Wrightsville Beach feel it, too. Soon, most realize that part of the fun is exploring the neighborhoods and strolling the Cape Fear River waterfront.
Movie producer Francine DeCoursey says there's no better time to wander the former port than late afternoon. Filmmakers love that time of day. "It's the quality of light in the sky, our twilight, that is the cinematographer's dream," she says. "We call it the magic hour."
On a spring evening, downtown Wilmington presents a mix of candlelit bistros, oyster houses, and bookshops where tar sheds, ice shacks, and warehouses once stood. The Barbary Coast is the town's most colorful watering hole, complete with crusty bartender. Monday is movie night, when locals bring in homemade films to show on the big-screen TV. The bar attracts plenty of salty dogs, both citizens and their Labradors. Travelers are welcome, if they don't mind the pets. Another stop to consider: the Water Street Restaurant, which offers entertainment by local musicians as well as nighttime views across the river to the battleship North Carolina.
A stroll up Castle Street leads to a grocery-turned-art-showcase, the Era Gallery. A lively crowd fills the old building, celebrating an exhibition by James Coleman, an up-and-coming painter from Washington, D.C. "These are all locals," owner Chet Fisher says, pointing to the black-and-white portraits lining the white walls. "Most came here to work in the movies and never left."
Guest Dan Brawley owns a local theater that is home to the Cucalorus Film Festival, a favorite on the indie circuit. He points out fellow partygoers who help make Wilmington a movie town. A 1960s TV star trades jokes with a popular "One Tree Hill" actress. Studio maven Frank Capra Jr., son of the It's a Wonderful Life creator, chats with a local documentary maker.
It feels charmed, all right, with the entertainers adding a bit of glitter to the festival. And for the time being at least, Wilmington's magic hour stretches late into the evening.

Set in the district of Aigle, the vast communal territory that constitutes the Ormont-Dessous makes it the fourth largest commune in the canton of Vaud. The Ormont-Dessous commune is home to six villages and hamlets : Le Sépey, Cergnat, La Forclaz, La Comballaz, Les Voëttes and Les Mosses.
Ormont-Dessous inhabitants are known as « Ormonans». The seat of the commune, which houses the communal administration centre and its schools headquarters, is the village of Le Sépey, located at 974m above sea level. The commune, which spreads far and wide over a surface area of 6367 hectares, boasts its highest point at the peak of Pic Chaussy with an altitude of 2351m.
The Ormont-Dessous commune's coat of arms, adopted in 1921, is symbolised by a tower representing the former Aigremont castle built in the 14th century, a mountain representing the Mont d'Or which is the central point of the commune and 4 stars symbolising the 4 « seytes » or sectors of the commune.
Today the commune lives primarily on its craft industry as well as on tourism and Ormont-Dessous counts the relatively small number of residents (200) of Les Mosses amongst its total 1'000 inhabitants.

- Translated into English as Wind, Sand and Stars (1939)
- Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered : it is something molded. These prison walls that this age of trade has built up round us, we can break down. We can still run free, call to our comrades, and marvel to hear once more, in response to our call, the impassioned chant of the human voice.
- Ch. II : The Men, as translated by Lewis Galantière
- The machine does not isolate us from the great problems of nature but plunges us more deeply into them.
- It is another of the miraculous things about mankind that there is no pain nor passion that does not radiate to the ends of the earth. Let a man in a garret but burn with enough intensity and he will set fire to the world.
- L'expérience nous montre qu'aimer ce n'est point nous regarder l'un l'autre mais regarder ensemble dans la même direction. (Page 203)
- Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. (Translated by Lewis Galantière in "Wind, Sand and Stars")
- Nobody grasped you by the shoulder while there was still time. Now the clay of which you were shaped has dried and hardened, and naught in you will ever awaken the sleeping musician, the poet, the astronomer that possibly inhabited you in the beginning.
- Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures — in this century, as in others, our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing men together.
- "I swear that what I went through, no animal would have gone through." This sentence, the noblest ever spoken, this sentence that defines man's place in the universe, that honors him, that re-establishes the true hierarchy, floated back into my thoughts.
- Être homme, c'est précisément être responsable. C'est connaître la honte en face d'une misère qui ne semblait pas dépendre de soi. C'est être fier d'une victoire que les camarades ont remportée. C'est sentir, en posant sa pierre, que l'on contribue à bâtir le monde.
- To be a man is to be responsible: to be ashamed of miseries you did not cause; to be proud of your comrades' victories; to be aware, when setting one stone, that you are building a world.

- Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
- Here is my secret. It is very simple. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.
- Variant translations: Here is my secret. It is very simple: one sees well only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.
The essential things in life are seen not with the eyes, but with the heart.
- Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours leur donner des explications.
- Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
- Ce qui embellit le désert, dit le petit prince, c'est qu'il cache un puits quelque part...
- What makes the desert beautiful is that it hides, somewhere, a well.
Citadelle or The Wisdom of the Sands (1948)[edit]
- Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it.
- Confuse not love with the raptures of possession, which bring the cruellest of sufferings. For, notwithstanding the general opinion, love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite.
- Page 152
- A goal without a plan is just a wish.
- The earliest appearance yet located of this statement is in 50 Ways to Lose Ten Pounds (1995) by Joan Horbiak, p. 95, where it is quoted as an anonymous proverb. It seems to have circulated as such for a few years before it began to be attributed to Saint Exupéry around 2007.

District Level Financial Management
Series Name:
HST Update
Published by:
Health Systems Trust
In order for the health workers (managers, clinicians and support staff) in a district to work efficiently and effectively, they should have as much control over what they do as possible. One of the key areas where districts should have their say is in the management of resources in the district. This means, in effect, that districts should have the accountability and responsibility for financial decision making, and therefore control over staffing.

Without mentioning names yet, (I have not spoken with the family in a while) I want to renew a thread that was started about 6 months ago. The thread was in regards to one brother, asking for donations for another brother with a medical condition.
Many people chimed in and committed to send various Fett costume items. Carole and I agreed to send a flightsuit. It took us months, because of busy lives and too many commissions, but we gladly were finally able to send a Fett Flightsuit.
I received a "Thank you" email, and it was mentioned that ours was the first costume piece received. My intention in this email is not to bring attention to our gift, but to remind those who have agreed to send other items, to please remember your post and follow through with your intention.
If you have any questions, please PM me. Please remember the importance of giving and keep the spirit of the season alive in the upcoming year!
Happy New Year to All!

Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Ontario County Agriculture Enhancement Board are hosting eleven town-oriented sessions to provide input about local policies and farming life. The Agriculture Roundtables are going to be an opportunity for farmers, landowners, and people with an interest in agriculture issues to introduce and talk about their local concerns and observations in a structured discussion. The intent of the Agriculture Roundtables is to gather answers to important questions about local agriculture such as: What are the biggest challenges or obstacles in the next few years in local agriculture? and What ways would you like to see the town and county address the needs of farmers and agriculture landowners? The first session for the Town of Geneva will be at the Geneva Town Hall, Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 7:00 PM. The next session for the Town of Manchester will be at the Manchester Town Hall on Thursday, September 20, 2012 at 7:00 PM.
