CYC Parties for 2009 Begin at the Commodore's Home!
Here we are again. Saturday afternoon, January 31, 2009 and the the CYC got together again at the home of David and Vivian Dennett along with the amazing boat-dog, Amos. No boat-in was this, however. The weather, as you probably know, has been extremely cold, the ice very thick, and the snow piles deep, but at least the storms held off for this much needed respite!
Many guests suggested that it was great to get out and forget about all the nasty weather for a bit! So, how about you preparing for the next CYC party which will be held on the last Saturday of February, the 28th, at the home of John and Carol Dean in Winthrop? Refer to our last postcard mailing for the address and remember that all CYC evening parties are 5 to 7 o'clock and are BYOB. But do come and have a great time!
The first party of 2009! Another pleasurable get-together!
Good time!
Good food!
Great company!

Richard Smith was appointed the chief executive of Securus Technologies in 2008. This was after the company had merged with other firms in the industry making it emerge as one of the strongest provider of security and telephone services to Prisons and Homes in the USA. The immediate task at hand was to reform the company customer service coming at a time when rivals were being affected by multifaceted customer issues ranging from fraud to very high charges. The Executive career hand on experience has seen him manage the company to become the largest in the sector and have raised the company's fortunes in millions of dollars.
His career background is fascinating with a wealthy contribution in executive positions. Before joining Securus Technologies, he served as president and chief operation officer at Eschelon Telecom Inc. The appointment was not in vain considering he had been in the company for years in the capacity of the chief financial officer. Richard Smith started his career at Global Crossing North America Inc. as far as 1972 serving in different capacities. His contribution in Securus technologies is remarkable and can be inferred from his past performance. At Securus, he has raised the company portfolio to a whopping $350 million.
The chief executive officer is alma mater of University state of New York which is located at Buffalo where he graduated with a master's degree in Electrical Engineering. He earned his bachelor's degree in the same field from the same institution. He later advanced his education at Rochester Institute where he earned a Technology associate degree and then completed a master's degree from the same university in Business administration.
Richard Smith has a great interest in bettering the lives of inmates. He believes the best way to do this is to endeavor to get the most responsibilities as possible from the prison administration. On the side of the company, he has laid down a solid customer service to answer to customer queries with the urgency they require. Since his inception, the company customer complaints have reduced drastically and therefore customer satisfaction, and loyalty has been enhanced. Due to this strong leadership, the company lately acquired Jpay Inc.
About Securus Technologies
The Dallas headquartered firm is the leading provider of technology solutions to prisons in the USA. The firm was established in 1986 and currently serves approximately 3,400 prisons. The company has a robust customer service and support that is unsourced making it the leading telephone provider in customer relations. It boasts of a large team of field officers, usually thirty and above around facilities they secure, which have enabled the company to have the best output in preventing crimes. The company technological patents are outstanding at 140 plus many other on the way pending approval.

The two great deserts of southern Africa meet here, creating the kinds of sand dunes only found in dreamscapes. Renting a car and hitting the road is really the only way to experience this vastness. Namib is the oldest desert in the world, evidenced by its rust-colored sand and monstrous dunes. The sun rises and sets, painting the world with a new palette every few hours. This has been the status quo here for millions of years, and witnessing it is something special indeed.Browse Sample Trips
The Big Five are the main attraction nearly everywhere else in Central, East, and Southern Africa. In Namibia, wildlife is more of a punctuation. The landscapes will be interrupted by a herd of desert elephant, an endangered black rhino, or a beautifully colored bird. Most big cats are found here as well, from lions, to leopards and cheetahs. What's most astounding here is not the number of wild animals, but the ability of these few to survive in this place.Browse Sample Trips
Though it is still a developing nation from an international perspective, Namibia is fiercely proud of its internal development in its short history. Those who have traveled in South Africa will find Namibia a similar experience, with well-kept roads and cosmopolitan cities. From luxurious hotels to all the modern amenities and international cuisine with Namibian flair, the major cities of Windhoek and Swakopmund offer a civilized respite from the desert wilderness.Browse Sample Trips


text: Hello and good Friday, pop culture fans! This has been one hectic week in the lead-up to the last few days of school, but I have still managed to plough my way through a varied assortment of comics and more. Some of them have been…let's be kind and say underwhelming, but I'm tossing those ones aside and hunkering down with some of the best things that floated through my consciousness. Submitted for your approval, here they are in no particular order.

Gold settled lower on Thursday after posting its biggest one-day fall since late January in the previous session, reacting to comments from Federal Reserve head Janet Yellen suggesting U.S. interest rates could rise sooner than expected.
The dollar rose sharply and short-term U.S. bond yields jumped by the most in almost three years after Yellen said the bank may end its bond-buying program this autumn, and could start to raise interest rates around six months later.

The Baltimore Police Department suspended seven officers after body camera video emerged that the city's public defender said appeared to show them planting drugs in a car during a traffic stop, the second such episode in the city in two weeks.
More video emerges of suspected drug planting by Baltimore police
Cops in Baltimore are now required to wear body cameras. When the cameras are activated, they not only start recording - they also save the 30 seconds BEFORE the cameras were turned on. Ooops... guess the cops didn't know that. Should have read the manuals.
Anyway, the Police Chief brushes this off as merely "growing pains" as the officers learn to use the new technology.
Holy smokes.

White it is...
Some years it used to fall at 3 in the morning and oblivious to what time it is, we used to just go out there and welcome the first snow flakes of the season. I used to drag you. It was my thing. Remember?
You know it was really sweet of you. How you used to come along with me. You hated the snow. But you used to come. Like I said…it was very sweet of you. You were such a sweet heart. It was your thing. Remember?
Oh how you loved everything… white. So since the day you left, I haven't worn anything but white. I know how crazy you were about white so I made sure the flowers at your funeral were all white as well. I hope you liked the arrangement. I tried my best.
I am sitting here surrounded with all your belongings but you are no where to be found. I have made my decision. I shall keep all of these things. I will make room for them. After all they are your things. And from now on I shall make 'em… my things.
I will embrace 'em all. Because a part of you still exists in each and every one of them. In the colored ones as well. But white will always be at the top. Because it was your color. It was your thing.
I will always remember that.
Rest in peace.

I would highly recommend Lee. He fitted our kitchen this summer and did a great job creating a fantastic solid oak breakfast bar. We had a couple of minor problems with the kitchen afterwards nothing to do with Lee's skills but he didn't hesitate to come and sort them out for us. He charges a set price for fitting a kitchen unlike some others and is very affordable. He has since done some more work for us fitting doors which we were more than happy with. He also doesn't drink much tea!!


text: New to the forum, acquired my 1999 caterham series 3, last summer. Car is an HPC car, Vauxhall 2.0, updated cams, Weber carbs, 6 speed, limited slip differential, has uprated front and rear springs, bigger front bar and adjustable rear bar. Have owned and raced a 1971 Datsun 510 for more than 30 years. I have always used the Hoosier A6 or A7 tires. Previous owner did autocoss the car(10 years ago)and used bogart wheels, 13x10 with Hoosier R25 slicks. Going over various posts the common tire appears to be the Hoosier bias ply slick in the softest compound. What are people's thoughts on the A7 in the 255/40-13 on a 9" wheels vs either 20.9x9/13 or the 22.5x10/13 bias slicks on 10" wheels? Is there a reason the dot radials don't appear to be the tire of choice?

For about half of its existence, Africa could have been appropriately termed "The Dark Continent". That half is more commonly known as nighttime.
Have you ever wondered how the bottom 5% of your freshman class's SAT takers gained admission? Did you ever take consolation, as I did, in your faith that no matter how poor a student you are, any school that admits a 1610 can't be that bad? Chances are you never met Mr. or Ms. 1610, but they're not always who you expect.
Perhaps he is a Rwandan who has only had a citizenship for two years, reads a book a day, has met his own president, and is a frequent and consummate preacher.
She might be a Moroccan who gave a speech so good that Bono talked about it on the radio, and is involved in everything, whether it's basketball tournaments, guest speakers or protests against a botched regional exam system.
Or maybe he is from Senegal, where as the president of his student government, he arranged a town forum to discuss the problem of arranged, early marriages. As a direct result, one of his former classmates was taken out of an engagement by her parents and sent back to school.
Still feeling superior about that 760 on the Critical Reading?
These are the sorts of people I spent my gap year with. They make those around them better people just through their presence, and they are what made this past year worth it.
Like many of the best experience of my life, ALA is something that I would never have done had I been given an honest, complete description beforehand. The school has a tremendous reputation, but as a teacher once told me, it's a reputation of a vision. ALA has an incredible ability to pull together and put on a show, but on a day to day basis it has all of the organization of first-year Neville Longbottom, and all of the cohesion of a dry sandcastle.
As a result, ALA gap year students are not yet defined. In order to feel a part of the ALA community, they need to submit themselves to the same rules as everybody else. But they are also on a fun year off, and to the average American, ALA's rules would not seem out of place in a Soviet era prison. By the end of the year, I was tired of being treated like a child and suffering from extreme cabin fever, despite achieving an awe-inspiring record 11 off campus visits in one week. Balancing the two is hard, and since the school has no official policy, teachers treated us in a variety of ways.
The strict off campus rules are understandable given that the surrounding neighbourhood is statistically one of the least safe in the world (shockingly, that is not hyperbole), but the restrictions were part of a broader African boarding school culture. And that culture in turn is part of the thousands of individual societies that make up the continent. A year at ALA taught me enough about those societies to not only accept and understand ALA's rules, but also to truly celebrate what I now know about Africa. What little gap years understand about the continent is an invaluable privilege that few Americans have a chance at.
When we read Things Fall Apart in December, I saw the sentence below, and laughed, almost mockingly.
"It is good in these days when the younger generation consider themselves wiser than their sires to see a man doing things in the grand, old way."
Now, I see the tragedy in it as well. This year, I learned how deep ones customs can run, and how strongly they can clash with someone else's, especially when it comes to running a school.
So I have a better sense of how the Xhosa and the Igbo differ, and I know the Senegalese don't eat meat that could be found in the Lion King. I also know that almost all African formal wear for women is prettier than a black cocktail dress, and my conviction that I cannot dance has been reinforced 300-fold.
But what else makes the ALA gap year worth it?
It's not the food. And it's not the signature LEA curriculum, because as interesting as they are, those classes haven't matured enough to be worth a year off. And it's not the travelling, because if it were we would just use the tuition money on plane tickets.
In my opinion, ALA offers its gap years three unique gifts: a powerful, growing network, diversity, and inspirational peers. The first two are wonderful, but the last one is by far the best. Every single person at ALA will agree that the students make it worth it and keep the dream going. I have never admired so many of my peers so deeply than during my time in South Africa. This year, I met Mr. and Ms. 1610 (and Mr. and Ms. 2310 as well). I realised how lucky I am, and I learned how far some teenagers can make far less luck go.
Of course, people are good everywhere, and it is probably possible to take the same fundamental lessons from other more polished programs. Yet at the end of it all, it was an astoundingly worthwhile experience, and I know I will benefit from it increasingly in the years to come. You really can't ask for more than that.

Happy Tuesday! We are continuing our series of reviewing some of our favorite local Houston restaurants! In the past, we have reviewed Caracol, Dish Society and Adair Kitchen, and today, we are focusing on one of my absolute favorite places in the city — Local Foods! If you have never been to this restaurant, you need to RUN there for your next meal. It is SO GOOD! Plus, I'm in love with their decor!
Keep reading through this blog post to see how to enter our incredible giveaway. Local Foods was so generous to provide TWO gift certificates to give away to our readers – each certificate covers dinner for four ($100 value) at their Tanglewood location.
Local Foods has four locations throughout the city of Houston that all focus on food that is locally sourced. In fact, you can view the list of where the restaurant obtains their local ingredients from online. The quality of the food is so good and you can really taste the freshness in everything you eat. Every menu item that I have tried at Local Foods has been delicious – it's honestly so hard to pick what to eat when we go because I have so many favorites.
Not only would I consider Local Foods to be healthy because of its focus on local ingredients, but because of the variety of menu options that support a healthy lifestyle. From quinoa burgers to gourmet sides that are fresh and full of nutrients to sandwiches that can be prepared as salads, you really cannot go wrong with what you order. And, for those who follow specific diets (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc) there are a variety of options for you to choose from. The staff is extremely willing to make special accommodations to fit your needs. My all time favorite dish at Local Foods is their Crunchy Chicken Sandwich. It is seriously delicious! My mouth might be watering right now thinking of it…
To enter to win one of two gift certificates to Local Foods- Tanglewood (Dinner for 4/ $100 value), just head to our social media sites, Facebook and Instagram – and tag at least one person in the comment section – 1 entry for every person you tag! And, for double the chances, share our post on either site. You can also comment on this post for a chance to win. The giveaway ends next Monday (Feb. 6th) at 12am CST. We will email our two random winners the following day. Good luck!

I am new to LJ and new to routing as well! I am using a 1/4" roman edge as decorative finishing on some Christmas gifts that will have knobs on them as like towel hangers. I thought it was just the type of wood I had on the edge that was not real smart to use because as I routed, it would splinter large chunks off and just really messed up several times. It was ash, and I thought no more ash on the edges. I am routing counterclockwise too as what I read….anyway, another epic failure tonite with the ash, which I only tried because I already had some glued up, but when I tried another board with mahogany and maple it splintered off and cracked the wood too! I don't know what I am doing wrong? Don't think bit should be that dull, not going wrong way, or trying to go too fast, so I was curious if the temperature affects the wood's "fracture-bility" for lack of knowing a better word to describe this…large splinters come off and the wood breaks…..any comments, constructive criticism or suggestions appreciated! Thank y'all and Merry Christmas!

I doubt it's the cold. Are you talking about end grain, long grain, or both? Have you tried exposing less of the bit and cutting it in several incremental passes? Is the splintering only at the ends of an edge or throughout? If it's only at the ends, try using a sacrificial piece of scrap at the end to help prevent tear out and remember to always route the end grain before the long grain.

When wood splits on me it is either a real splintery wood, or I am going too fast or taking too big a bite. The problem might be that things are too dry. I like to split wood when it is cold, but that is REAL cold, and I doubt you are working in freezing temperatures. My suspicion is that your area is very dry and so is the wood.

i would say bit sharpness is the biggest factor followed by depth of cut, try making the cut in 2 passes or carefully back rout

Thanks everyone for such quick replies! It happened on edge grain wood, and I now admit it may be from trying to cut too much at once…I really am new and wasn't sure if you take off in increments would it all end up the same or not? I just knew the first few passes on my scrap were too shallow to give me the profile I wanted….but it has worked for menbefore that way, today has just been a real bad day for about four boards that will now just be made into something else!! And thanks Greg I didn't know to route the end grain before the long grain either! The beech board I routed today did fine, so it wasn't a total loss! I live in Louisiana and for us having 100 plus summers up into September, this 40 and low 50's with rain feels cold, but it really isn't that cold! Appreciate the feedback! Hope for better luck tomorrow…

No problem Nicole. I almost always do edge profiles in multiple passes even if it is small enough to do in a single pass. Especially with woods that are prone to burning, doing one light, fast final pass helps me keep the burning from happening as well as preventing tear out.
Always route the end grain first so if it splinters at the end, hopefully it will be small enough that it will get removed when you go back and route the long grain.
In the end, just keep making sawdust and you'll get the hang of it. I would just about bet that most of us have messed up more pieces than we can count on the road to getting to where we are today.

I was doing a trim job many years ago. I bought a thousand bd ft of black ash to trim a house out. It to splintered really bad and ended calling my supplier to come pick up the wood because the tear out was so bad. Come to find out the logger that sold the sawmill the logs was logging in a tornado damaged forest.

When cutting endgrain, always run any edgegrain running into the right side of your run first, when you reach the end of the run it will tend to blow out.
But run in it in shallower passes this should reduce any tear out you might have.
Ash is a bold choice to start doing things with, while pretty when finished, it is difficult even for alot of "old timers" to work. Scraping tends to work better than sanding, and that's all I can think of at the moment on the subject of ash, cept it tends to mold naturally lol

Sounds to me like you are working against the grain direction. All you can do is take shallow cuts and finish by taking a whisker off with the final pass. Look up 'Grain Direction' on here and you'll see how to orientate boards so you're working with the grain next time. Ash is unforgiving in that way.
#9 posted 12-24-2011 04:39 PM
First of all – a sharp bit is essential.
I assume you are using a bit with a guide bearing. If you can, replace the guide bearing with a slightly larger bearing and make an initial pass. Then, put the original bearing back on and make a second pass. This will allow to to take smaller bites with each pass.
Also, while going counter clockwise is the norm. Sometimes things work better going in the opposite direction. It's called a "climb cut" You need to go slower and you need to work harder to keep the bearing in touch with the wood. Definitely practice this on some scrap before trying on the real thing.

Rich, not a technique to recomend to people new to a tool, while that technique works, it can be potentially dangerous. Especially if the router kicks back, or grabs and throws the board, which I have seen happen.

A router table is what I use for profiles like that. I take a light first pass to avoid chipout, then 1/8" at a time until I'm at the desired cut.
A router table need not be expensive or complicated. For a long while I used a smnall sheet of MDF with a porter cable 690 screwed directly to the bottom. For a fence, I just used a piece of wood with a flat edge and a notch cut out for the bit clamped in place.

TCC – You are right. A climb cut can be a dangerous technique and I was wrong to not more clearly pointing that our.

I don't know if this will work or not, I just remember my old shop teacher showing me a trick of using masking tape on the end of a piece of pine to prevent splintering with a radial saw, don't know if this would also work with your router.
#14 posted 12-24-2011 09:02 PM
Thanks so much everyone for your insight and replies….I definitely have learned a few things and must admit, I think i am more lucky than good with what I have been able to accomplish so far. I am using a router table…I didn't know about changing the bearings so it would be able to make shallow cuts, I assumed you just lowered or raised the bit, and was worried I would end up with a totally messed up board doing that. I admit too, that I have routed the wrong way and was successful at times, wondering why it was the wrong way when I read you are supposed to go counter-clockwise. I really think my failures are a combination of lack of knowledge and experience….like I didn't even consider grain direction when gluing up….I choose what looks good, and then once planed down, see what side is best for the top…..I should be more aware now of gluing up and grain direction and what is gonna be the top side ahead of time. Also, these bits are for sure not the best quality, and I have run enough through them that they probably are dull….......It was just so frustrating yesterday when I have done this without any real problems for the past month and then to have four boards splinter and two do fine. I definitely am looking forward to paying more attention to grain direction, slowly experimenting with routing the wrong way (climbing), and making smaller passes to take off less wood. A question, when you say route the end grain first "running into the right side of your run first" ...I am not real sure if this means route it clockwise to the right or exactly what I am supposed to do there…....Unfortunately I learn best by first seeing someone else do it, rather than them tell me, if I can see it, I can usually do one, then teach one, but just reading I have issues with visualizing what it is exactly I am supposed to do! Again, thanks everyone for all the support! I will post some pictures of the final project when i can! And let you know what else I mess up on, and need help! Merry Christmas!

In addition to all of the good advice above , I also use a router speed control on some difficult woods because I don't have a variable speed router in my router table.

I did a scene with Lacey on Wednesday, and it went very well I was told, and boy did she make me sweat. A truly enthusiastic performer, who loves her work down to the last drop.
Had the pleasure of working with this very sexy lady yesterday. What a joy to meet someone who is sexy, confident AND intelligent. Lacey arrived promptly, with perfect wardrobe and make up. She was keen and enthusiastic and we shot 2 great scenes. I sincerely hope to be working with her again very soon, and cant wait till our next meeting.
Very highly recommended.

I worked with Lacey for the first time over the weekend and it was a great assignment to be part of. it was the first time we have worked together and she was a great host and performer for the bbg scene at her home studio. she's great company, very easy going and engaging. as a performer she's fun, has good on set presence, communicates well and professional in her attitude.
i'd happily work with her again and recommend her to anyone in the industry.

I shot with Lacey a few weeks ago for first time. She was great to shoot with, eager to learn how to work & play the camera, and took direction well to make a great scene. More than happy to shoot with her again. She is fun to work with, and I recommended if you looking for a sexy mature lady to work with, she would do a great job x
Just shot my 3rd scene with Lacey. This lady is so easy to work with. She is intelligent, polite and enjoys the scenes. Lacey is always immaculately turned out, and always brings lovely wardrobe with her. Highly recommended, as always :-)

I shot a g/g with Lacey for a website the other day and this lady is awesome!! She is a fab performer, really nice person and very professional.... Definitely a top milf!! :D
Jessica Jensen
Another great scene with Lacey, who certainly knows how to keep you hard and makes the whole experience very pleasurable.
What can I say about this wonderful lady, good, sexy, capable, able, lovely, knowledgeable, skilled, yes all of them but she is so much more and such fun to work with, although work is the wrong word. She knows what to do and just gets on with it, which for the producer is a real boon. Top lady, top starr and a consummate professional. I will be using Lacey again soon.

she's a great host and she makes you feel at home and very comfortable. on set she is stylish, sexy and fun. i hope we can work together very soon on one of her next up and coming projects
i'd have no issue recommending her to any togs or producers looking for a mature model with a creative flair and great personality.
thanks, Alexei xx

I had a great shoot with Lacey early January. Very accommodating, lovely person and very very horny! I have withdraw syndrome over those amazing boobs :)
I did my first shoot with Lacey yesterday. What a star (pardon the pun). Absolutely brilliant to work with. Really enthusiastic and fun. It's so nice to work with a model who obviously enjoys what she does - and is very good at it too.
Had a great shoot with Lacey last week. Great personality, and easy to get along with. Certainly knows what she is doing, and worked very hard throughout the shoot. Poses without direction and takes direction well, when asked to do so. Lacey was a pleasure to work with and will most definitely work with her again. Highly recommended
11 May, 2014 - 12:09
Shot with Lacey recently, great lady, two great scenes involving chains and paint!
Great personality, enthusiastic and really enjoys what she does!
Look forward to future opportunities!
Just had my FOURTH shoot with Lacey. Wow, this lady is getting hotter every time I shoot her!! As usual she arrived promptly with great wardrobe and perfect make up. Lacey comes across so sexily on camera and genuinely enjoys her work.
Look forward to next time!

Today I ventured into deepest darkest West Sussex, to Crawley. Now, I have been down the M23 many times, but usually to catch a plane to Tenerife or Florida, but this was to meet mature model Lacey, at her West Sussex home.
What an amazing space they had to shoot, five bedrooms (there could have been more but I lost count at five) and a lounge, plus a garden which is currently out of commission. That didn't matter. We made full use of the bedrooms and the lounge and had a really great time in the process. Lacey is a really lovely, laid back model, easy to work with, easy to direct and full of her own ideas too. Can't wait to work with Lacey again as the ideas are already buzzing through my brain.
10 July, 2014 - 10:55
Had my first shoot with Lacey yesterday and can honestly say it was a pleasure to work with the consummate professional. Lacey is not phased by anything she has a good range of poses and communicates extremely well. We shot at her home which is an awesome venue with many different rooms giving great variety. The light at the front of the house is exceptional if you like natural window light. Lacey has a very good wardrobe which caters for most taste. This is a very professional model with the added bonus of a great location to shoot, I can't recommend Lacey highly enough. Thanks Lacey see you again soon.
3 August, 2014 - 15:47
I had the pleasure of working with Lacey earlier this year and she is a real star. I was made to feel very relaxed and welcome at Laceys home studio. We had a fantastic first GG shoot together which flowed naturally due to the relaxed friendly atmosphere. When then followed with a BBGG shoot which was lots of fun. Lacey has a great imagination and really enjoys herself which is contagious to boost every ones energy and enthusiasm while filming.
Hopefully there's more to come.
24 August, 2014 - 20:15
I visited LaceyStarr in her lovely West Sussex home again today and we got down to some raunchy image making for our individual websites, both of which are currently under construction.
Lacey is a first rate model, confident and intelligent, she knows what the viewer wants and tries her best to give it. Her sex appeal is as evident as her boobs trying to escape her bra.
Can't wait to work with her again. Our shoots are such fun.
I shot Lacey for the first time yesterday. She was easy to arrange things with, equally easy to work with, very enthusiastic and did a great job.
Fine day's work.
8 September, 2014 - 00:10
Met Lacey for the first time last week for a shoot. Very easy to get on with, enthusiastic with a good sense of fun! Great place to shoot from and with Lacey's ideas made for a really productive day.
Highly recommended her and Will be working together again very soon!
15 September, 2014 - 15:33
Worked with Lacey on saturday, and she was really easy to work with! The shoot was fun and whizzed by! Would definately recommend shooting with Lacey, as the shoot was very enjoyable and professional.. cant wait to see the pics! Hope to work with you again soon, love chessie xxx
27 September, 2014 - 12:46
I did a shoot with Lacey at her place in Crawley. It was great to finally get to work with Lacey. It was everything I was hoping it would be and a whole lot more. Lacey is great at what she does and gives great advice (On and off the camera), which makes her easy to work with. She has a figure which is very eyecatching. Lacey is definitely someone I would recommend working with very highly to anyone. Good times Guaranteed when you meet Lacey.
10 February, 2015 - 13:28
I can't rate Lacey high enough.
We have had for years, plans to shoot a Nerd Pervert episode with a GILF model.
Its has take some time to find the right person and Lacey was our lady. She is an amazing lady to chat too, and really takes a keen interest in her work.
To say she is a good performer when it comes to the sex scenes is a bit of an under statement.
Lacey is not new, but she hasn't been around that long either and she hasn't been doing this since she was younger. I don't know why but I think now was the right time for Lacey to step into the adult business.
I think she is leading the march for that mature model and I think she could be known as the best in her niche. She is very well organised, and communication leading up to the shoot, well you couldn't ask for better.
I'd say all the young flakey models who only do this half arsed, should look to Lacey as an example of how to conduct their business.
She is also a very aspiring and up and coming producer. I said years go we need more female producers coming in and now we have people like Lacey with her own very unique ideas.
I think she is one to watch both in her modelling and her own productions. I don't know what took you so long to realise you were meant to to do this Lacey but we are so glad you did. She is so attractive I got told that no matter how lovely her photos are, when you see her in person you will be impressed and I can see why so many younger hot blooded males want to watch her.
I'd recommend Lacey to any production company and she's definitely someone I'd stay in touch with, and I will watch her continuing success with great interest and if she ever needs any geeky filming/editing tips I'm always at the end of a phone.
Thank you Lacey for an amazing experience with a very talented lady who's firing off all cylinders.

I have to back up what Paul says, Lacey is fabulous and I bloody hope I look that good when I get to her age, she must have some great genes there.
I can see why so many younger men want a piece of her hehehe.
I loved filming her and capturing what Lacey brought to our work, which was pure sexiness hehe.
I would say to anyone wanting some one who's been at the top of her game or a while now both as a performer and as a producer with some very interesting ideas, then I'd say work with Lacey Starr, you will to regret it one bit.
See you soon hunni xxxxxxx
15 March, 2015 - 23:49
Had the pleasure of shooting with the lovely Lacey last week, she is actually a Starr! Amazingly professional lady and very welcoming.
I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Her pictures don't do her justice at all.
Her place is great for shooting well equipped also, great experience all round!
Can't wait to shoot again at the weekend :)
19 March, 2015 - 21:22
Thank you to LaceyStarr and her Husband, who both made me very welcome into their home lots of great footage which was all given before leaving them, lunch provided great people to work with very organised and professional people
Thank you both, xxx
23 March, 2015 - 20:59
Was lucky enough to come along and work with Lacey again! I cannot emphasise how great she actually is! Lacey and Steve have a fantastic professional but fun system!
They both are so easy to get along with.
Lacey really doesn't fit the 'older woman' category she really is in a league of her own! Her pictures do not do her justice!
Great style, lots of outfits, ideas and amazing location!
They're both great hosts also :)
10 April, 2015 - 14:55
I had the pleasure to work with Lacey today again. So this was my 3'rd time. Done like 5 scenes. Solo b/g and gg/b and also a group one too. She is fantastic. See you soon honey.
9 June, 2015 - 14:07
Had the greatest pleasure working with the Gorgeous Lacey a couple of weeks ago on content share over 2 days. Lacey is truly lovely, great personality , she shines in front of the camera and so easy to be around. She absolutely adores modelling and it shows. I would definitely work again with Lacey and cannot recommend her highly enough!!
On the content share Lacey and hubby are very professional , home studio is fab, great performance and fun. The whole experience was fabulous from start to finish, I was fed and watered and left with my content after having an amazing day, thank you so much for a brilliant day.

I had the pleasure of meeting lacey on Saturday 18th July.
I had a fantastic time. I was made to feel totally welcome and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Lacey has a beautiful house, the location is first class.
I was made to feel totally at ease throughout, and we got some great scenes!
Thank you so much for inviting me.
And thank you to Steve the photographer, you had me giggling throughout!
I hope I get the opportunity to work with you both again xxx

We shot with Lacey for the first time in July for our DVD business. I could run out of compliments praising her but best to say my crew had a perfect day in a very relaxed and fun atmosphere and the content we shot was exactly as we wanted it. Since then we have been invited back by Lacey to shoot something even more special than we shot last month and we have accepted. A very sexy lady and a great performer we love you Lacey

i had the pleasure of working with lacey again on 28/29th August.
On the Friday we hosted a gangbang party. Everything was perfect. A lot of time and effort is put into organising these parties, and you can see this! Everything went smoothly and I had a fab time. We got some great content too!
Then, we did a bit more shooting on the Saturday!
Lacey and Steve are fantastic people to work with. You are made to feel incredibly welcome. They are more than happy to help with any questions or queries. Nothing ever feels rushed. The scenes we did just flowed.
If you get the chance to work with Lacey, do it! I couldn't recommend her more!
Thank you so so much for everything xxx
After months of diary clashes I finally did a scene with Lacey, filmed by her very nice partner.
What a fantastic model and great location. Brilliant, any chance you get to work with her, take it.
I think today was my 6th shoot with Lacey, as always she was prompt, gorgeous, charming and fun. She always provides the BEST scenes, genuine and full of energy.
Thanks so much for yet another great shoot Lacey xxx

I have filmed Lacey roughly 16 times at the start her career, and of course her references are long and glowing.

Had the pleasure of shooting with the ever charming, graceful, And filthy, Lacey last week.
Always arrives on time, always dresses to impress, always brings out the filth in any scene. Takes direction, remembers lines, but is also great at ad-lib, to bring out the best in a scene. We shot 3 in total and she was always switched on and ready to perform again. I would recommend Lacey and cannot wait to work with her again. She has the best tits!

I interviewed the lovely Lacey live on my Periscope TV channels and wow. I found the most amazing down to earth lady i could ever wish to meet. she was funny sassy and a joy to be engaged with in a live action environment. I was enthralled by her camera presence. I admit i was a little bit nervous about meeting such a star in the adult world but Lacey was amazing xxxx
Thank you so damn much babe xxxx

Even though she has heaps of positive feedback, I just need to add my own.
She's the best person I've ever worked with and probably ever will, period. Sweet, caring, professional, and all around amazing lady to work with.
She's extremely sexy, really does her best while filming, and is just brilliant on film. I'll want to work with her in the future on, hopefully, many more projects.

"Ah, it's that Apple users are snobs," "Apple pays the mark," "But how can you afford that for a mobile?", Sure that at some point in your life some brother- in- law Android has Spitting these words because of course, according to him his terminal is as good as your iPhone and also has cost 3 times less.
No need to tell you that is a huge lie : if it has cost much less, you can not doubt that it does not even reach the sole of the shoe, and if it is a worthy rival of the iPhone, the quality is paid, Whether Apple or another brand. In fact the next Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy Note 8, will cost more than a thousand euros .
A lot of details of the upcoming flagship of Koreans promising to be spectacular were announced yesterday: a 6.3-inch terminal with the same 18.5: 9 format as the Galaxy S8 and S8 +, dual rear camera, Smart stylus S-Pen, Snadragon 835 processor from Qualcomm - that offers an inferior performance to the iPhone 6s for daily tasks - in some cases and in other Exynos 8895, the impressive amount 6 GB of RAM and a battery of 3,300 mAh. A real monster that will hit the world in September to beat the copper with the iPhone 8 .
Samsung Galaxy Note8 launches late September for nearly €1,000https://t.co/7sXA8F7sly pic.twitter.com/g9HmgheoBF— Evan Blass (@evleaks) June 23, 2017
Read it twice because you will need it, but you have read well: more than a thousand euros . If we put our hands to the head because a while ago came the same rumor about the iPhone 8 , now an Android terminal does not hesitate to do the same ... yes, look where you look at it will not be the iPhone 8 .
From the iPhone 8 we know almost everything: its borderless screen with Home button and integrated Touch ID, dual rear camera and 3D sensor on the front, A11 processor, wireless inductive load, augmented reality and of course iOS 11, an optimized software For its hardware that as a sign of the brand, will offer intuitiveness, stability, security and fluidity ... something light years away from what Android provides for the same price .

Date:September 7, 2007
Bulletin Number: DH-26
October 2007 Merit Step Eligibility Information for Employees Represented by the Rent Regulation Services Unit (RRSU)
To inform agencies of the availability of Control-D report NPAY779 (Merit Step Eligibility Listing) that will list potentially eligible employees for the Merit Step payment and to provide instructions on how to add eligible or to delete ineligible employees from the payment.
Merit step eligible grade 18 employees in Bargaining Unit 67.
Merit Step payments for October 2007 are payable October 4, 2007 for Administration Pay Period 14L, paychecks dated October 31, 2007.
Chapter 9 of the Laws of 2005 which implemented the negotiated agreement between RRSU and the State of New York for 2003-2007 and a GOER side letter dated January 10, 2007 provide for the payment of a merit step to eligible BU67 employees.
After an employee receives a Merit Step payment, the merit step becomes part of the employee's base salary.
An employee's Geographic Pay Differential is not reduced by the amount of the Merit Step payment (see Payroll Bulletin No. 721).
Note: A bulletin will also be issued in the near future to inform agencies of OSC's automatic processing of the Merit Step payments and to provide instructions for payments not processed automatically.
To be eligible for the Merit Step payment, employees must satisfy all of the following criteria:
Note: One (1) full year in the higher grade must be completed before consideration of the Merit Step payment even if the increment code did not change because of the Job Rate to Job Rate rule.
Note: One (1) full year in the higher grade must be completed before consideration of the Merit Step payment even if the increment code did not change because of the Job Rate to Job Rate rule.
Additional Payment Criteria:
Control-D report NPAY779 will be available on September 17, 2007.
NPAY779 is available for agency review and lists employees who may meet eligibility criteria #1 and #2 above. Agencies must review employees on this report to verify eligibility criteria #1 and #2 and determine whether employees meet eligibility criteria # 3, #4 and #5. To assist agencies with determining whether or not an employee meets all eligibility criteria, the effective date of an "Unsatisfactory" rating reported to OSC and the effective date of a promotion within the last calendar year will be included on the report.
OSC will automatically process Merit Step payments for all employees appearing on the NPAY779 (unless the employee has a job change that affects eligibility) in Pay Period 14L. Therefore, agencies must notify OSC of any employees who do not meet all five (5) eligibility criteria thus making them ineligible for the payment.
Potentially Eligible Employees Who May Not Appear on the Control-D Report NPAY779
Instructions for Making Changes and Verifying Payments
Note: Agencies must enter their Agency Code and "Merit Step" as the "Subject" of the email.
Note: Agencies must enter their Agency Code and "Merit Step" as the "Subject" of the email.
Merit Step Correction Report (Eligible)
Merit Step Correction Report (Ineligible)
Additions and deletions must be submitted as soon as possible. Faxes and emails must be received no later than September 28, 2007.
Any changes made to an employee's Job record that affect eligibility after the NPAY779 is created and prior to payment may result in the payment not being paid automatically.
Agencies must not submit additions or deletions for employees based on anticipated job changes prior to the date of payment.
Certain employees may meet the eligibility requirements but the employee's current salary is above the merit step or the employee is currently on a leave. Agencies still must verify eligibility for these employees based on the five (5) eligibility criteria listed above. Agencies must not remove these employees from the payment based solely on the employee's salary or status. Eligible employees who are above the merit step will have an MST row inserted to indicate the employee meets all eligibility criteria but is not entitled to any additional monies. OSC will use the eligibility verification for employees on leave to update salaries upon the employee's return to the payroll.
Employees will be held harmless (and therefore receive payment) if agencies fail to report information to OSC that would otherwise disqualify the employee from receiving the payment. Salaries for employees who are deemed ineligible by the agency after the payment is made will be corrected but the overpayment is non-recoverable.
Employees previously deemed ineligible to receive the Merit Step payment and who appear on the current NPAY779 must be re-evaluated to determine if the employee meets the criteria for the October payment.
When an employee transfers, the current agency must communicate eligibility status to the new agency.
Agencies must track employees on Military Stipend and Sick Leave and pay the Merit Step payment manually upon the employee's return.
regarding this bulletin may be directed to the Payroll Audit mailbox.

The dispute over the methods used to calculate tax liabilities for Section 42 housing developments is essentially where it was this time last year.
The litigation brought by cities and counties against the Department of Revenue awaits a court ruling, and bills designed to clarify the situation circulate through the Capitol.
The disagreement over how to assess tax value for Section 42, or what are commonly called affordable rental housing, developments began when tax assessors in some of the 40 counties that have them did not include revenue developers get from selling the federal tax credits they receive.
Currently, under Department of Revenue rules, tax assessors can only count tenant rent as income. Because the federal government caps the rent on Section 42 housing, the tax liability for developers, many of whom are from out of state, is limited.
The Mississippi Association of Supervisors, the Mississippi Municipal League and dozens of towns and cities have sued the Department of Revenue, in an attempt to force that agency to allow tax assessors to include the tax credit revenue.
That litigation has made its way to the Mississippi Supreme Court, which has yet to rule one way or another.
Two bills dealing with the assessment rules have been filed. Each sit in the House Ways and Means Committee, and each take a different approach. One would clarify the rules to include the tax credit sale revenue. One, authored by Ways and Means chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, would preclude tax credit sale revenue, and exempt 65 percent of what tax assessors were allowed to calculate from tax liability.
Smith, though, isn't married to that number.
"We just kind of threw 65 percent out there," he said in an interview last week. "That's actually an attempt to get the ball rolling. I can't say that it will end up being 65 percent."
Smith said the bill was "good to go" as far as making it out of his committee before the Feb. 5 deadline for committees to report bills originating in their chamber.
Smith said removing the tax credit revenue from the tax-calculation equation is the fairest approach. "Their rent is locked in," he said. "They can never go up on it. Where a comparable apartment would get $1,000 a month, these can only bring maybe $500 a month. If you tax them at the full rate, they're a thing of the past."
Bills that would have brought tax credit revenue into the equation died in committee last year.
Derrick Surrette, executive director of the Mississippi Supervisors Association, has told the Mississippi Business Journal in multiple interviews the past year that precluding the tax credit revenue costs counties and municipalities huge sums in ad valorem tax money. Especially vulnerable, he said, are poorer counties, where Section 42 developments are heavily concentrated.
The crux of the lawsuit, though, centers on a bill that passed the Legislature and was signed by then-Gov. Haley Barbour in 2005.
That bill directed tax assessors to use the income capitalization approach when figuring the ad valorem tax bills for Section 42 developments. The income capitalization method takes into account all income derived from a development, including the revenue from tax credits.
Shortly after Barbour signed the bill, the then-State Tax Commission amended its Land Appraisal Manual to preclude tax credit-sale revenue from the assessors' calculations. The only income they could count was whatever rent tenants paid.
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work.

Under the strain of all this royal wedding coverage, how are you holding up?
I haven't covered Kate and William all THAT much here on She's Still Got It, but I've heard from some of you anyway, complaining, as one commenter did, that "... the majority of Americans don't give a rat's ass about William and Kate OR who designed her dress."
Well, as it turns out, NBC reportedly agrees with you.
Page Six is reporting that NBC is scaling back its royal wedding coverage. Several pretaped segments have been scrapped and television personalities will be heading to London later than previously scheduled. According to Page Six's source:
"The US public's interest was not what they thought," sniped an NBC insider. "Kate and Prince William are both really boring."
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha! Ahem. Sorry.
Page Six goes on to report that at least publicly, NBC disagrees with this anonymous source.
A rep for NBC denied the story, saying in a statement: "This could not be more false -- NBC News has the most aggressive and comprehensive coverage of the royal wedding, as you will see when you tune in to 'Today' starting Friday at 4 a.m. to 'Dateline' at 9 p.m. and on MSNBC, Telemundo, etc."
I'm inclined to believe that coverage probably has been scaled back at least a little bit. After all, there's only so much you can say about the royal couple. Kate's beautiful and seemingly squeaky clean and so is William. I'm sure they'll both look fabulous on their wedding day and there will be plenty of pomp and circumstance before, during, and after the ceremony. But it's true. They are a little bit ... boring.
But now I'm wondering what you think about all this royal wedding media hype. Are you sick of it, or do you, like me, plan to be up at 4 a.m. on April 29 to watch the big event unfold?

Originally intended to air as the second episode, "Strategic Planning" was switched for a different episode. USA made a wise move with their own strategic planning as "There Will Be Food" was a far better episode. Royal Pains started out fun and relatively innovative, but my attitude towards this show is changing.
In the show's pilot, we were introduced to Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein), a recently-fired doctor who is now trying to make it in the Hamptons. He's got a funny, quirky brother in Evan (Paulo Costanzo), a physician's assistant in Divya (Reshma Shetty), and is kinda-sorta seeing the local hospital administrator Jill (Jill Flint). One of the things that made Hank so unique was his ability to treat someone without all of the big hospital equipment and he didn't have to be the super doctor. He was a combination of MacGyver and Michael Westen with a medical degree.
"Strategic Planning" kind of screwed that up. It was painfully predictable that we would get a rich control freak who had her own medical equipment. Hank quickly turned into just another doctor with this episode. It's really too bad they had to go there, even if it's just for one episode.
The way he determined what was wrong with his patient was stolen straight from House. Whenever Hugh Laurie's character gets into a conversation with someone in the last ten minutes of House, either he or the person he's conversing with ends up saying something which gives him a little eureka moment and he's off to save the patient. The exact same thing happened this week on Royal Pains. So much for originality, eh?
The most shocking thing about the episode was seeing Guillermo Diaz cast as a dog walker. I admittedly did a double take when I saw the bad-ass drug dealer from Showtime's Weeds walking a half-dozen little dogs. Guillermo did a good job in what is a very different character. His Weeds persona is a hard one to forget, but he'll get his chance at a starring role soon thanks to NBC's Mercy.
With originality dropping by the episode, Royal Pains is slowly running out of things to keep me interested. I do like Paulo Costanzo as Evan, but I'm not loving how his character seems to turn everyone he meets into a patient. What may keep me watching the rest of the season is Hank and Evan interesting friend Boris.
I'm intrigued to no end to see just what Boris is up to. He knows everyone and is willing to recommend Hank as a doctor, but what's his angle? What does he want in return? He tried to get information about clients from Hank, but Hank didn't give it up. Was it just a test or is Boris looking for leverage over someone? Campbell Scott does a terrific job of portraying Boris, who happens to be both pleasant and uniquely threatening in his scenes. I'm loving this guy.

In my run up to playing Star Wars the old republic, online I've decided I'd join a guild.
It may seem pointless what with the game still being a good few months off, this but I'm bored, store so whatevs.
The main SWTOR site has a "search for guild" page that lets you see what guilds have been created according to your criteria. Thing is, it doesn't really seem to help.. So I started to trawl through the thousands of pages listing guild recruitment. Well, trawl is a bit strong, I dipped in and out.
Now theres a difficulty in trying to find a nice guild…. all you can ever really see is the guild charter, the membership posts are usually well hidden away and inaccessible until you join, Catch 22. Anyway the 99% of the charters say "no arseholes" (in summary), and that doesn't really give you much idea of what the guild is like… fair enough you can also tell a lot by other requirements like "must be prepared to raid 20-30 hours a week", but once you've cut the obvious hardcore out you are still left with 200000000000 billion guilds.
So "pot luck" time it was.
I joined the SUNRIDERS and took a week long look at their forums etc, and got a feel for how things were. And decided it might not be for me. Now, my leaving is NOT a criticism of the SUNRIDERS. They are a nice bunch of people, and I could certainly have gotten along with them. As a guild they've not decided if they're going to PvP, PvE, RP or not and so on, they won't be deciding that until much closer to the game. I left because my general feeling was that there was quite a strong lore contingent, many of them are more into the SW Universe than I personally am comfortable with. My feelings to SW are based very much on the few hours of films, and a couple of books I read
10 20 years ago (or more). It's fun, but not anything I'd bother trying to remember. Take the name, apparently SUNRIDER is someone from the SW Lore.. which almost certainly has a bias on the joinees.
Another thing that put me off was how, when I mentioned that I blog, the Guild Leader immediately started another thread reminding us of the "no disrepect" rule. Now that's already in the guild charter, and frankly I don't do well with being reminded of something I'd read no more than a couple of days ago….
So onto "The Casual Travellers"..
I've been in this guild for an entire day, so can't comment much, but so far, they seem friendly, not overly concerned with the SW universe as far a Lore goes, and already specifically aiming to be a "casual" guild that will probably casually raid. So far they come across not unlike the Munquis, even down to a pan-european membership. There are a couple of differences from the munq's … at the moment there seems to be a few hardware junkies, discussing headsets, machine specs and the like. The average age is is surprisingly high, and a high "male" contingent, moreso than in the sunriders and much moreso than the Munquis. I'm not letting this freak me out, in fact it conforms to my expectations (read sterotypes), after all this is a pre-game guild and all of those are going to have a membership bias (read obsessive?).
We'll see how it goes. Who knows maybe next week I'll be in yet another guild, though this one looks like it should be comfy with a some banter appearing in the forums already.
meanwhile… back to playing Mass Effect 2, a surprisingly decent game!

The leading characters in this Lubin three-reeler are a husband and wife who obviously share no affection for one another. Consequently, their baby son (who looks like a four-year-old) is sorely neglected. While the husband is away on business, the wife is visited by an ex-sweetheart, who tries to rekindle their romance. As the wife does her best to fend off the visitor's advances, her son climbs out of the nursery window and heads out into the streets. The frustrated suitor decides to get even with the wife by kidnapping her baby, intending to return the kid after the woman has "learned her lesson." The abduction is witnessed by a burglar, who catches up to the suitor, steals the child himself, and holds it for ransom. Fifteen years pass before the mother is reunited with her son, now a handsome young naval ensign. Somehow, the producers managed to squeeze two additional subplots into this 45-minute opus.

Affordable Aluminum Repair Kit – Boat Repairs & Patching Services | Aluminumrepair.com
Aluminum Boat Repair
Aluminum boat repair is made easy with the HTS-2000 second-generation brazing rod. Many people buy aluminum boats because aluminum is light, fast, flexible and seaworthy. As with any kind of boat, sometimes boat repair is necessary. Hull damage to an aluminum boat can occur from abrupt groundings, collision with other objects or just wear and tear over time.
Aluminum boat repair is much easier than boats made with steel or fiberglass hulls. Aluminum is light, strong, corrosion-resistant, non-sparking and can be fixed with an HTS-2000 brazing rod without a welding machine.
Pitting, cracks and crevice corrosion are three of the drawbacks of any aluminum boat over the long haul. Sometimes aluminum boats will develop small leaks and need repair. The HTS-2000 is a no-flux brazing rod and all that is needed besides the brazing rod is a heat source (propane or mapp gas), a turbo tip, or oxy-acetylene. Since the melting point is 500 degrees lower than the surface of an aluminum boat, many repairs can be made quickly and easily and even holes can be filled because of the rod's anti-drip properties.
Boat repair can be accomplished even by those with no experience. Please see the video link on the upper right of this page.
In addition to boat repair, other boat-related repair can also be conducted quickly and easily as well. For instance, repair to a boat engine or engine housing, fuel tanks or even the boat trailer is a snap with our products.
Besides boat repair, the HTS-2000 can also repair engine blocks, radiators, fuel tanks, air conditioners, latches, brackets, rivets and many more aluminum surfaces and objects.
So, if you have an aluminum boat and are in need of a quick and easy method for boat repair, look no further than our industrial strength, second-generation line of boat repair products. You'll be amazed at how easy boat repair really is.
Gibbons Boat Repair
Bismarck, ND
"We tried your Brazing rod thinking it would be like all the rest. Wow! It worked great! We repair aluminum boats–the riveted and welded type. Without a machine, we were able to turn the boat to the right angle and make the repair easily without having to fight gravity. We saved our customer about $3,500. The boat had landed on a steel fence post in one of our lakes. The insurance company had written off the boat because of the cost to replace the bottom. We riveted a plate on the inside, then turned the boat over and brazed it. We sanded it smooth and the customer is going to spot paint. The cost of the repair charged to the customer was only $800. "
Bob Gibbons
"I ordered 1 lb. of HTS 2000 rod to repair my 15 ft. aluminum Klamouth fishing boat. I've welded and brazed my whole life, so I didn't bother reading the instructions or view the CD. When I tried to fix my boat I couldn't get it to work well. So when I got home I viewed the CD and followed the tinning process, which made a world of difference! I ended up installing a 1/2″ x 3/16″ x 10ft. long strip to the keel of my boat. Now it looks like new – No leaks and I can repair any hole or crack in any aluminum boat, thank you HTS 2000!"
Sincerely Joe Kokrak
You at NTP are great. I have heard good things about both your products and your customer service. I look forward to working with you and thanks for the no hassle reimbursement. I didn't mean to order two purchases, I will use your product to fix my Alumaweld boat–they want $3000, to fix at local boat yard, I guess a $140 is a steal in comparison. Looking forward to your shipment, thank you —
Mark E. Stocker

Southern novelist and historian Shelby Foote, who chronicled Mississippi Delta life in his fiction and created a panoramic history of the Civil War, died Monday in Memphis, Tenn., his wife, Gwyn, said Tuesday. He was 88.
No cause of death was given.
Best-known for the courtly eloquence he brought as commentator to Ken Burns' 1990 PBS documentary, "The Civil War," Foote belonged to a rich tradition of Mississippi storytellers that has included William Faulkner, Walker Percy and Eudora Welty.
It was his appearance in Burns' film, enthralling its 40 million viewers with his battlefield-eye-view of the war, that first gained this singular American storyteller the recognition of a wide audience.
"One of the reasons why that documentary worked itself into the bloodstream of this country is because of Shelby," Burns said.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro graphics options - Click above for high-res image gallery
Chevrolet decided that it might be fun to have a contest to pick out a new decal pack for its hot new Camaro. They posted six different possible decal sets on Facebook a while back and after letting their online friends vote, the automaker chose four finalists.
Those four looks were applied to a silver Camaro over the course of the four-day SEMA show in Vegas. We stopped by the booth every day except Friday and took some pics to show you how the stickers looked in person. We've assembled a gallery so you can peruse each and then head over to the Camaro's Facebook page to cast your vote for the winner.

Andre (Andre Keuck) and Cal (Cal Robertson) are a pair of military-loving misfits from small-town America. They harbor a hatred of their high school so caustic that they come up with a plan of attack called "Zero Day." As the days count down, they record their preparations in video diaries, hoping to achieve fame after their demise. When Zero Day arrives, Andre and Cal drive to school with a trunk of munitions and take aim. The film is based on the Columbine High School massacre.

Zero Day and we will let you know when it becomes available.
