TACOMA — Federal bankruptcy court Judge Paul Snyder last week approved sales of Pettit Oil's remaining assets, including bulk plants in Port Angeles and Sequim.
Other Pettit Oil facilities already had been purchased in Clallam and Jefferson counties since Nov. 25, when the Pettit filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Snyder approved the sales to three companies Friday.
The sale of card-lock fueling and bulk-fuel stations approved Thursday will close by Friday, Seattle lawyer Deborah Crabbe, the attorney for bankruptcy trustee Kathryn Ellis, said Friday.
"This finishes our sales," she said.
"Most of the money coming in is secured money."
But the former Lakewood-based company's prepaid oil customers, who shelled out money ahead of time for a product they never received, won't know if they will be made whole for several months.
"We won't know for another year or so until we've finished with the estate," Crabbe said.
Friday is the deadline for creditors, including prepaid oil customers, to file claims.
There were 87 creditors from Clallam and Jefferson counties, from Neah Bay to Port Townsend, as of the end of March.
There are well over 1,000 creditors, "possibly 1,200 or 1,300" in all, Crabbe said.
There were 414 claims filed totaling $23.7 million, of which $8.5 million are "priority claims," she said.
The card-lock fueling and bulk-fuel stations that will be purchased this week include facilities purchased by Masco Petroleum of Aberdeen in Port Angeles, Forks and Sequim, as well as Elma and Hoquiam in Grays Harbor County.
Crabbe said the facilities were purchased by Masco for $740,00.
Company Vice President Sean Masco said the purchase brings to 13 the number of former Pettit facilities that Masco has purchased.
Tripled company's size
The acquisitions have more than tripled the company's size, Masco said.
"We are actively delivering heating oil out of Port Angeles and Port Townsend," he said.
He said his company has hired 22 new employees, about half of whom were former Pettit employees from Clallam, Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties.
Dashmash Petroleum 13 Inc. of Chehalis purchased facilities in Port Angeles and Sequim, and, in Grays Harbor County, in Aberdeen and Shelton for $285,000.
Facility in Forks
Kris Northcut, whose city of residence was not available Friday, purchased a facility in Forks for $40,000.
"It's going to take us another year or so to get a handle on this to see what other assets we can liquidate," Crabbe said.
Pettit cited $18.7 million in assets and $22 million in liabilities in its Nov. 25 Chapter 7 petition, with the largest secured creditors listed as KeyBank, owed $11.3 million, and U.S. Bank, owed $8.8 million.
Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a company seeks protection from creditors in order to liquidate assets to pay debts, as opposed to Chapter 11 bankruptcy, when protection is sought for a limited period to allow a distressed company to reorganize.
Crabbe, a bankruptcy attorney for 22 years, said it is unusual to see a Chapter 7 bankruptcy of this magnitude in the Pacific Northwest.
According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, Pettit was Washington state's 33rd largest company in 2011 — before buying Tacoma-based SC Fuels, the largest petroleum distributor on the West Coast.
In a court filing, then-company lawyer Brian Budsberg said the company was "financially too weak to be profitable" after buying S.C. Fuels.
"A lot of times, you will have these kinds of companies sold before they get to this stage," Crabbe said.
Pettit distributed heating oil across 12 counties and ran distribution centers in Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Forks, Bremerton, Everett, Hoquiam and Lakewood.
In business for 75 years, the company employed about 200 people.

I am looking for a Literary Agent to publish two psychological thrillers. Marketing might dictate a timed release as the beginning of book 2 is referred to at the end of book 1. The writing style is Patterson - Stephen King - John Jakes combined. I know a number of Patterson fans that have read the first book and they tell me it is as good as anything Patterson ever wrote.
I'm tired of being solicited by publish it yourself companies. These books are ready for a final edit.
Des anyone have any ideas on companies that publish this type of book?

Sometimes no matter how hard a team tries the other team wins.
Such was the case Friday night as the Lady Bisons soccer team lost 1-0 to visiting Austin Peay in front of an impressive crowd of approximately 200 fans at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. The game was also shown live on A-Sun TV video streaming, the first even offered by Lipscomb in the new package for fans.
Neither team scored in the first half as Austin Peay out-shot the Lady Bisons 14-7. Austin Peay also held a 6-1 shots on goal edge in the half.
Ashley Beck scored the lone goal in the game at the 46:41 mark.
In the second half the Austin Peay again made 14 shots while the Lady Bisons managed two. Austin Peay had three shots on goal. The Lady Bisons were credited with one.
Freshman forward Halie Proffitt led the Lady Bisons with three shots. Freshman midfielder Kate Spellman and sophomore defender Sarah Brummett each had one shot on goal.
Beck made seven shots, including four shots on goal. Both were game highs.
Lipscomb goalkeeper Katie Shelton made nine saves.
The Lady Bisons slipped to 2-6. Austin Peay is 4-3.
The Lady Bisons travel to Gardner-Webb Thursday for their first Atlantic Sun Conference game of the season.

I read that late at night, but I don't think that disclaimer was there.
I also don't know how accurate it is to say that it doesn't have blur. Its true there is no blur sign on, but motorola at that time was just phasing out the ui. They still had hopes for using it for marshaling background updates and other data for their use.
IMHO, its bad, but you'd have to have been pretty oblivious ( which is probably 99.99 % of people) to what blur was to think it was working otherwise.
The situation reminds me of stupid options I've had to put in software by customer demand that will knowingly cause problems for them, labeled "WARNING THIS OPTION WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN", then getting complaints from customers that "IT ATE MY CHILDREN!!!".

Juggling is fun, but let's face it…it gets old. We live in a multi-tasking, "that was due yesterday", fast-paced world. Prioritizing and making the most of your valuable time is an asset to everyone, no matter what your role in life may be.
Over 10 years ago, when I was just a baby bird in the professional world, my mentor (who is still my mentor to this day) would spout out something about an 80/20 rule during all of our team meetings. "You have to follow the 80/20 rule," she'd say with authority, "it always goes back to the 80/20 rule." I kind-of picked up on the general idea of this concept at the time, but it wasn't until recently that I truly grasped the meaning and found myself referencing it to co-workers and team members (maybe even to my kids.)
So what exactly is this prized rule all about? The formal name, Pareto's Principle-The 80/20 Rule, is simple and easy to apply to your everyday professional life, home life, and so on. The Rule states: "Focus 80 percent of your time and energy on the 20 percent of your work that is really important. Don't just 'work smart', work smart on the right things!"
The principle or "formula" came from Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in the early 1900's. Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the unequal distribution of wealth in his country. The 80/20 Rule means that in anything a few (20 percent) are vital and many (80 percent) are trivial. In Pareto's case it meant 20 percent of the people owned 80 percent of the wealth.
The Principle goes on to state, "When the fire drills of the day begin to sap your time, remind yourself of the 20 percent you need to focus on. If something in the schedule has to slip, if something isn't going to get done, make sure it's not part of that 20 percent."
You can apply the 80/20 Rule to almost anything, from the science of management to the physical world. Try taking a look at your day-to-day responsibilities, your management style (both in the office and in the home), and pause to ponder the 80/20 rule.
Pareto, I'm assuming, made a few enemies with his theory. Like any rule, this too is not flawless. Use wisely and cautiously, but most importantly, enjoy trying, and applying, a new theory in your everyday life.

"Pilgrimage to a Party"
Many Mexicans consider San Francisco a "true" saint - one who delivers the "miracles" and "promises" that thousands of faithful make with him every year. But he demands that they live up to their end of the vow, which for most involves a pilgrimage. The Desert Speaks follows the faithful as they travel by foot and on horseback (some more than fifty miles) to the church in Magdalena de Kino, Sonora to pay homage to San Francisco in the hope that he may transform their lives.

Whether you need a large dog harness for your working dog, or maybe something flashy for a show dog, there are many good choices. Your pet harness should be bought with it's designed use and your dog's breeding in mind. All dogs collars and dogs harnesses are meant to be tools, you have to discover the one that is right for your animal and its temperament. Then commit the right allotment of effort required for training your pet . But for lots of dogs, a harness can be a safe and effective training accessory.
Using a harness for walking strong energetic dogs may seem hard to do but some modern harnesses feature elementary but clever techniques such as the front-attachment rings. When a dog pulls, it creates a small tightening or pressure around the chest and near the front legs. These mild but odd feelings stop when the dog stops pulling or lunging. Most dogs promptly associate pulling with uncomfortable sensations. When using this kind of harness, practice, in addition to positive reinforcement, is the key. If your aim is to train a large dog that pulls and lunges on a leash, seek out a training harness with a martingale-type closure that tightens when pulling and loosens up when the pulling ends and the leash relaxes.
If your dog likes to swim, or you live in a rainy, humid climate, you'll want a more durable nylon harness. For a well-mannered dog that doesn't get wet very often, leather is an elegant , wear resistant choice. A reflective harness and leash combination might be right if you and your dog are out after dark. After choosing your harness the harness training, like all training, requires repetition and patience. Most owners that try harness training experience very good results.
For the gentle dog that only needs a walking harness, style might be your main consideration and there are lots of designer and fancy made harnesses to choose from. Well made dog harnesses are made from leather or nylon, with each material having many years of use . Some other features to consider are: padding, spikes, buckles, Velcro, front leash attachments or top of the shoulder leash rings.
When doing your research on a dog harness, make sure to take into consideration ALL the features you may require. Don't forget, just by choosing a harness, you're taking a step in the right direction that will be protecting your dog's health and well being.
When searching for a dog car harness you can shop where the pro trainers shop. All the pet harnesses here are top quality.

Woman shot in head outside gym, two suspects sought
SAN ANTONIO -- Police are searching for two suspects after a woman was shot in the head outside a South Side gym early Thursday morning.
Officers were called to Southwest General Hospital on 7400 Barlite in connection with a shooting victim around 4:40 a.m. Thursday. When the officers arrived, they learned that the victim, 21-year-old Elissa Sanchez had been transported to the hospital by another victim, 23-year-old Vicente Cuellar, who left before the officers arrived.
Police say Sanchez had suffered a gunshot wound to the right side of her head, was listed in stable condition and was talking to hospital staff. She was then taken to University Hospital for further treatment.
Officers were able to locate the victims' car and found damage that appeared to have been caused by a firearm. According to police, the shooting took place at a gym which investigators believe is near East Southcross and South Flores. They say two suspects approached Cuellar, who was driving Sanchez's vehicle and an argument started. A police report states one of the suspects then shot at Cuellar and Sanchez, striking Sanchez in the head.
If you have any information about this shooting, please immediately contact CRIME STOPPERS at 210-224-STOP (7867) or submit at tip online at SACrimeStoppers.com.

Fallon's 'Tonight' debut a ratings hit
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Fallon's start as host of the long-running "Tonight Show" was a ratings winner.
Nielsen company figures released Tuesday show 11.3 million people tuned in to watch Fallon's New York debut on Monday night.
It was the second-biggest audience for "Tonight" since May 2009, when Jay Leno stepped down for Conan O'Brien's brief run as host.
Fallon's "Tonight" debut fell short of the 14.6 million who tuned in Feb. 6 to see Leno sign off, again, after 22 years as host in Burbank.
Enjoying a post-Winter Olympics time slot, Fallon drew 2 million-plus viewers more than O'Brien's June 2009 "Tonight" opening audience of nearly 9.2 million.
NBC says Fallon's "Tonight" debut, with guests Will Smith and U2, was up 71 percent over his Feb. 6 "Late Night" farewell's audience.

Why is Breaking Bad so good? There's the obvious: Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are incredible actors, and Vince Gilligan's writing and direction is phenomenal. But there's something else that also sets the show apart. The cinematography.
With unique camera work, a very different kind of pacing and bold use of light and color, Breaking Bad has created a look unlike anything else on TV. Credit for this aesthetic is due largely to Michael Slovis, who's been the show's director of photography since the beginning of season 2. A veteran DOP with other shows such as CSI under his belt, Slovis says he's thankful he's had the freedom to experiment and credits both Gilligan and AMC for creating a show that pushes boundaries in every direction.
"My job is not just to merely record the time; my job is to interpret the scripts," he says. "That said, I never want to overwhelm them, and I never want it to be about the photography so I'm lucky that the performers are so strong and the writing is so strong. It allows me to take more chances."
In some ways he compares the cinematography to an impressionist painting.
"This isn't just about looking like reality; this is about eliciting an emotion," he says.
One of the most obvious ways that Slovis has set Breaking Bad apart is through his use of color. Flying in from the East Coast, where he lives, Slovis says he was immediately struck by the brown and yellow hues that dominate the landscape in New Mexico where the show is filmed.
"In the northeast we just don't have that; we have a very different color palette," he says.
Instead of fighting it, Slovis decided to embrace the new landscape. Every time the show shoots out in the desert — something they've come to be known for — Slovis says he uses a filter on his camera that enhances the earth tones, making the scene look even more desolate and Mars-like.
To add contrast to the Southwest's famous blue sky and white clouds Slovis uses a polarizing filters and when the show filmed scenes that were supposed to be in Mexico — as opposed to New Mexico — Slovis used yet another filter, letting the new color alert viewers to the shift in geography.
When shooting inside, under artificial light, the use of contrast and color is similar. Slovis isn't afraid to shoot darkly lit scenes — they've also become a signature of the show — and he says he's come to rely on that fluorescent green color that you get when you shoot photos inside without a flash. It's become a signature hue for inside the various warehouses that fill the series.
"I don't have to explain that color; people get it," he says.
You might call Breaking Bad more "cinematic" and Slovis says that's a concious decision. He says that AMC purposely wanted the show to appear more movie-like and part of the way they've achieved that is by shooting on film.
"It's a choice made by AMC that I don't argue with. I actually love it," he says.
Slovis says shooting on film is also an advantage becuase it's expensive and it motivates people to get it right.
"Everyone has to be careful with film," he says. "It lends an air of intentionality to it."
When it comes to pacing, Breaking Bad is often slower than a lot of other shows. There's no rush so Slovis has the ability to let the plot gather tension by itself without trying to fill it in with fancy camera movements.
One clear example, he says, is the scene in episode 501 (the first episode of the new season) where Walt and Mike are arguing about about how to get a laptop out of a police evidence room. The scene drags on as they go back and forth while Jesse, who is out of focus in the background, makes his own suggestion: Magnets. It goes unheard until the camera finally focuses in on Jesse as he raises his voice and gets Walt's and Mike's attention.
"It's not a shot that you would normally see in network television," he says. "Most of the time the pacing is a lot faster but we have the luxury of letting the actors set the pace."
The most famous pieces of Breaking Bad cinematorgraphy are probably the wide shots. Playing off the enormouly long horizons in New Mexico (where there aren't a lot of trees), Slovis and Gillagan like to shoot scenes where the characters – or oftentimes cars – in the scene are just little blips on the screen. Like the filters Slovis uses, the wide open shots help to reinforce the desolation of the desert.
"The wide shots come from Vince's love of [Italian Director] Sergio Leone," Slovis says. "One of the first things he told me was to look at the The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
As fans know, the plot in Breaking Bad has become increasingly dark over the course of the show. Season 5 is the final one and everyone is wondering just how much further Gilligan will take things — especially after the ending of season 4.
But Slovis says there is still room for the story to develop and as things get more an more intense, so will the lighting.
"What I can I can tell you is that even more than in the past the lighting will follow the trajectory of the characters," he says. "[The show] goes to even more disturbing and darker places and some of the lighting gets extremely expressive at times. It's almost like Breaking Bad on steriods. It gets really fun."

Next week DoDIIS is the place to be
At next week's DoDIIS Worldwide Conference, "Empowering Decision Advantage," in Orlando, attendees will get to experience first-hand Tandberg's New Way of Working.
With our immersive Telepresence T3 solution shown in Booth #405, participants will see how video teleconferencing (VTC) allows for accelerated decision-making and creates an environment in which real-time sharing of intelligence can take place between constituents in the field with strategy planners and policymakers.
In today's increasingly global environment, that accelerated decision-making and real-time sharing of intelligence are key to the success of every mission. Here are some considerations you should discuss with your VTC provider to ensure your system will meet your needs today and tomorrow:
Interoperability — a great videoconferencing system is only as great as its ability to connect you with whom you need to connect– if your technology doesn't work with the person you need to communicate with, then what's the point? Make sure your VTC system is standards-based so that you can connect with anyone, anytime, and in any way. Don't let disparate networks, multi-vendor systems, inconsistent quality and functional complexity keep your agency from completing its mission.
Scalability — big problems can require large groups of people to solve them. Make sure your VTC provider has an offering that can scale to accommodate multiple participants, so you can take high-definition or standard video systems into large interconnected conferences with a call from a desk system, to a PC, to a mobile device, to an immersive room-system for a true-to-life experience.
Ease of Use/Manageability — once you've installed a VTC system, you need to make sure that you understand how to use and manage it to ensure that you get the full benefit of your investment. Choosing a vendor includes picking a company that will support you from installation through deployment and can supply continued support. Don't get left with a system that you can't use effectively and easily.
Visit TANDBERG at DoDIIS (Booth #405) to see how close VTC can be to "real life."

In every Presidential election I hear the same line: It's the economy stupid. I don't claim to be a genius, but I think that I could safely say that in this election it is not the economy. It is about rights, gay rights and women's rights. Those should be the two main issues that task the political landscape. Politicians will deflect comments that are made in their party and state that "We should talk about things that are really important, jobs and the economy."
That's bullshit. The election of a President does not suddenly change the glacial movement of the economy. We've heard it all before. If Romney is elected and things go bad in his first four years, he will blame Obama. If things go well, the Democrats will claim that it is because of the groundwork of Obama. The finger pointing gets to the point that I don't know whom to blame or whom to praise. Hell, is it even due to politicians? Or is it Wall Street, main street, global commerce or China that dictates our economy? It is probably a mixture of everything.
But when the rights of individuals are being curtailed it is very simple to know who is to blame. For some strange reason they like to boast about it. Of course they hide behind their bible when they do it. The volume in which they speak is growing louder. The words they say are being analyzed by pundits. The problem is that the pundits are only interested in how it will affect the election and not loudly criticizing the message. This is a problem since the message is what the "followers" want to hear. As much as the "followers" will attempt to convince themselves that they are voting because of jobs and the economy, they are voting because of religion. I see it in the letters to the editor. I hear it on "the man on the street" interviews. I see it on the bumper stickers on cars.
And because the religious right is screaming persecution, it seems that our so called "liberal" media is afraid to confront them head to head. I would love to see Romney asked this question in one of the debates: "Please explain to America how gay marriage will destroy our country?" Or, "Is it because of your religious beliefs that you oppose the rights of women?" I want our liberal media to challenge these people. How can these politicians support limiting equal rights and still claim to support our constitution?
A day does not go by that some politician isn't banning abortion, criticizing Planned Parenthood, blocking gay marriage and at the same time proclaiming that because he is a Christian, he/she is a true American.
The "followers" applaud and hand him cash. That is the economy that they are worried about.

Michael, you make some excellent points. The left needs an equivalent to Fox News. They say all the media are leftist, which is silly, but we need a real, consistent voice -- like Fox, only telling the truth. There is a radio network, maybe more than one, but they aren't big enough, or rich enough, to create balance.

Isabella's "+" Nursery
Name: Isabella (14 months)
Location: Brooklyn, NY
We live in a 1+ bedroom in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. For those not familiar with the "+", it is a tiny 5x7 room off the bedroom with a window and a door. Our little "+" had visions of being an office, a craft room, even a darkroom at one point. That was until we found out we had a little "+" of our own on the way. Now it's the perfect little nest for our little Bella.
We wanted her room to be soothing and calm. We decided to go with a lighter version of our gray room for Bella's aptly named "Gentle Rain." The floors and ceiling got a fresh coat of white to keep it crisp and clean. To make the best use of the small space we installed an Ikea Pax armoire with storage above and Flor carpet tiles to fit the squared off space below.
A modern oval white crib and curvy vintage chairs keep the room from feeling boxy and a mirror on the back of the door reflects a ton of light. The curtains from IKEA have a subtle gray woodsy pinecone print and the generic tiebacks got a personal touch with sea foam flower bud draw pull from Anthropologie affixed to the end. One of our favorite finds was hand carved wooden bird mobile hung above the crib. An owl porcelain night light keeps watch as Bella sleeps and the animals in a beautiful personalized animal name print ensure our little one will not have ophidiophobia or pachydermophobia (fear of snakes or elephants).
Source List:
• Paint color: Behr Gentle Rain
• Flor carpet tiles: Feelin' Groovy - Seafoam
• Wardrobe: IKEA PAX
• Crib: Stokke
• Verner Panton S chair: Vitra

wat 5s did they have on the george st footlocker???????
hii everyone i am new here i am leaving for adelaide, australia in few weeks time i saw the earlier post regarding adelaide but still somehow confused can any kind soul provide me with the address of shops to hit up there?
does anyone know how much does average dunk high's cost in sydney?
is it $90 or like $130+?
I love the nitrogen shop up in the city near townhall places.
they sell REAL BAPES!!
They fkin cost $500+ isnt that a little too much?
They also sell New Era Caps, I've noticed that the ones they put outside of the counter are made in china.
So then I asked the guy, (pointing at the ones BEHIND the counter) are those real? (They are like $70 EACH)
He said that nitrogen signed a contract with New Era, and that every new release, they will get.
But the thing that bothers me is, that the ones outside of teh counters are made in china :O?
So I'mm.. a bit confused.
130+ for normal and about 180+ for SB highs (MF Doom's)
so... whats the craze with SB's?
Why not dunks?
well anywayz im gonna cop my first pair of high dunks soon.
espionage on golburn st looks pretty cool,
edit: oh yea whats zoom air inner? air?
sorry im a noob, at dunks, all i know are af1's
Originally posted by Inactive UserOkay a bit late but here it goes any way...
If you actually try on a pair of Normal dunks VS a pair of SB's you will notice a pretty significant difference in comfort...
The Zoom Air inner sole, is basically a little air patch that is put on heel the insole of the SB's to help add to the comfort of the shoe... Also you will notice because of the extra padding inside the shoe that they will tend to feel a little bit more snug and imo more comfortable...
As for why all the hype? basically Nike SB over the years have had quite a few collaboration kicks created by Futura and Stash, and other collaborations with any one from street wear companies such as Supreme to Musicians such as De La Soul or the Melvins...
Hope that helps answer a few of your questions...

Activity Badge
The Webelos Aquanaut Activity Badge is one of 20 different Activity Badges that can be earned in the Webelos Scout Program. The requirements are typically worked on during den meetings or den activities while the skills are practiced at home, with the help of the Webelos Scout's family. The requirements are either completed with the den or at home with the den leader's approval. Projects are brought to meetings to share with the den and for Webelos Den Leader or Activity Badge Counselor approval.
The Aquanaut Activity Badge teaches swimming skills and basic water and boat safety.
Do these:
- 1. Jump into water over your head. Come to the surface and swim 100 feet, at least half of this using a backstroke.
- 2. Stay in the water after the swim and float on your back and your front, and demonstrate survival floating.
- 3. Put on a personal floatation device (PFD) that is the right size for you. Make sure it is properly fastened. Wearing the PFD, jump into water over your head. Show how the PFD keeps your head above water by swimming 25 feet. Get out of the water, remove the PFD, and hang it where it will dry.
And do three of these:
- 4. Do a front surface dive and swim under water for four strokes before returning to the surface.
- 5. Explain the four basic water rescue methods. Demonstrate reaching and throwing rescues.
- 6. With an adult on board, show that you know how to handle a rowboat.
- 7. Pass the BSA "swimmer" test:
- Jump feet-first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming.
- Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl.
- Then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke.
- After completing the swim, rest by floating.
- The 100 yards must be completed in one swin without stops and must include at least one sharp turn.
- 8. While you are a Webelos Scout, earn the Cub Scout Sports belt loop for swimming.

Lael O. Caesar, a professor of religion at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich., will become an associate editor of Adventist Review and Adventist World magazines, the general papers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Caesar will succeed Roy Adams, whose 2010 retirement brought a close to his 22 years on the magazine's team.
Caesar, whose wife Lena is also chair of the Department of Speech Pathology & Audiology at Andrews, an institution of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, is expected to join the staff following the close of the current academic year. He has spent 14 years on the Andrews faculty, winning "teacher of the year" honors multiple times; he has also taught at Montemorelos University, a Seventh-day Adventist school in Mexico, and has also served the church in the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East, Russia and Western and Southern Africa.
The appointment, which was voted by the Executive Committee of the world church during the 2010 Annual Council, completes the staff roster for the current quinquennium. Apart from the retiring Adams, all current staff members were reappointed, including Bill Knott, editor and executive publisher of the two journals; Claude Richli, associate publisher; Gerald Klingbeil, associate editor; Steve Chavez, managing editor; and assistant editors Sandra Blackmer (features); Mark A. Kellner (news), Kimberly Luste Maran (young adults) and Carlos Medley (online).
"I am delighted to have Lael Caesar join the editorial team of Adventist Review and Adventist World," said Knott. "Lael is a talented author and Bible scholar whose work will strengthen and enrich the ministry of these two international magazines. His skills as a preacher and in the classroom have endeared him to thousands of Adventists around the world, and his warm, pastoral personality emerges in everything he produces. Readers around the world will come to enjoy Lael's love of words and his deep and abiding love for the Word of God."
Associate Editor Klingbeil added, "As a fellow Old Testament scholar, I have known Lael Caesar for over a decade and appreciate his humble commitment to the Word of God, his wonderful capacity to connect with people from many walks of life, and his great gift to communicate effectively and with warmth."
Caesar, who has often told the story of his determination, at age 15, not to follow in the faith of his parents after he'd left home, has been a lifelong Seventh-day Adventist member and church worker. Born in Guyana, he earned a bachelor's in theology at church-owned Caribbean Union College in Trinidad; a master's in religion at Andrews; and both a master's and a doctorate in Hebrew and Semitic Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"I am still a Seventh-day Adventist because, backward and forward, the temporal and theological line from Christ's salvation miracle to my origins and my destiny runs more sure and true in Adventist understandings than in any other I've encountered—or that I anticipate encountering," Caesar wrote in an Adventist Review article published August 9, 2001.
Since 1849, Adventist Review has been the flagship journal of the Seventh-day Adventist movement, having commenced publication 14 years before the church was formally organized as the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1863. Today, Adventist World, the international paper for the church, which appears in 13 languages in print and/or online, joins the Review in communicating news of the world church to its constituency.
More information about the publications can be found at www.adventistreview.org and www.adventistworld.org.

Roundabouts are one of my least preferred traffic calming devices. They have become increasing popular with our road designers and are spreading like a disease throughout Perth.
Why am I against roundabouts? The Urban Country presents a logical argument and backs it up with facts from the website of the Town of Collingwood, Ontario. I do not dispute them, however there is a problem with how roundabouts are designed in Western Australia. The roundabouts shown in Ontario have pedestrian crossings. This is possible in Western Australia but extremely rare. Our roundabouts create conditions that are worse for pedestrians and cyclists.

Larry, the throttle rod has a C-shaped snap ring-type retainer at the carb lever, and a sleeve & bushing with split pin at the firewall throttle arm. If you have access to the factory assembly instruction manual (AIM), the linkage is shown on UPC Z28, sheet A4. If you don't have one, you can download a PDF version via this link.
The 'C' clip I think is actually called an E' clip isn't it? The rod on mine seemed a bit floppy on mine and although it's been a while since I looked I believe I filled in the slop with a tiny flat washer or two. I'll have to check.
At the carburetor end, the Z/28 throttle rod fits in the SMALL hole directly below the LARGE hole in the throttle lever; the LARGE hole that takes a black rubber bushing and white nylon sleeve on the base V-8 isn't used on Z/28, L-34, L-35, and L-78. There should be no "play" at all in that attachment, which only takes an "E"-clip.

Simple question, how old do you have to be to rent a car in California? Ive been hearing conflicting info, is it 25 or 21?
Simple question, how old do you have to be to rent a car in California? Ive been hearing conflicting info, is it 25 or 21?
I know one thing and i found out the hard way! You can not rent a car if you had a DUI in the last 4 yrs.
Generally, renters must be a minimum of 21 years of age to rent a standard car. Underage fees do apply to renters between the ages of 21-24. Renters under the age of 25 are not permitted to rent oversized vans, large SUVs or luxury cars.
Some companies have 25 as the minumium. So you need to contact each rental company to see what their policy is. If under age 25, do expect to pay more, if you can rent one.
I think Enterprise charges $10/day for underage fee, as Hertz charges $27/day.
oooooh! Does anybody know if a prepaid credit card would work if you're say...22, cause I know the check card thing won't fly.
Some other places like Dollar and Advantage will also take check/debit cards but only after they run a credit check on you, and they'll usually take out the rental price PLUS some percentage (I've seen 10%) or some amount that meets an arbitrary minimum (I've seen $400 total) and they'll refund that when you return the rental. Living paycheck-to-paycheck, or needing that cash for Coachella goodies/necessities, or just renting something that wouldn't normally cost three figures, makes all of this something of a raw deal. Who called out the Car Rental Gestapo?
Good thing about Alamo anyway, because they're on the low end of the rental price spectrum. I snagged an SUV from them for a week for $199 -- before I tacked on accident insurance, of course. Coz I bet you Cali drivers suck.

My baby is 7 months old. I went back to work 20 hours/week when she was 4 months old, at which point she was sleeping in a pack n play in my room. I would bring her into my bed around midnight. After that, she would nurse every two hours or so until 7am. This worked okay some nights, but if I was particularly wakeful I ended up getting very little sleep. She also woke 1-2 times between her 7:30 bedtime and midnight. My bedtime is 9:00/9:30, so I was spending the entire evening going back and forth soothing her to sleep then, too.
After a few months of this, I was getting really haggard for lack of sleep. I couldn't go to bed earlier because of the early evening wakings, and I often couldn't sleep well through the night feedings. in addition, co-sleeping doesn't work for my husband so we have slept separately since D's birth. We had discussed sleep training as a way for us to eventually share a bed again, and because of my lack of sleep I was ready to try it.
Now, after some sleep training over the last month, D goes to bed at 7:30 (i nurse her right before bed, sometimes to sleep), wakes at 2:30 for a big feeding, and then wakes at 6:45 or 7 am, when I feed her again. I am so happy with the amount of sleep I am able to get!
But it seems that my supply has gone down. When pumping at work, I no longer get 4-5 ounces, each pump is more like 3 or maybe 4. She is eating more during the day than I can replenish. I have always had just barely enough milk so am worried.
Poop/pee: she has one BM a day, but sometimes skips a day or even two. plenty of wet diapers each day - 5 or 6?
Frequency: i nurse about every two hours or on demand, no set schedule. She nurses from just a few minutes to 30 min if she is relaxing and reconnecting after work or before bed.
Solids: we are giving her a few tablespoons of food at dinnertime but she feeds herself so really does not consume much. Started that at 6 months.
Weight:she had gained in percentile at 6 mo checkup, up to the 70s for weight. But I swear she looks a little skinnier now!
So my question -- is the partial night weaning contributing to my dip in supply?

So Why Can't Major Record Labels Provide Accurate Accounting To Bands?
from the because-that-would-mean-paying-them-accurately dept
Dave Stewart, from the Eurythmics, has written an article for Billboard where he points out that any retailer in the world has access to amazingly detailed technology and tools to track transactions and settle details with credit card company merchant accounts. He notes how ridiculous it is that such systems have been available for nearly thirty years... and he still can't get an accurate transparent accounting of what a record label has sold.
In the past, the major labels could get away with this, because they were the only real game in town, if a band really wanted to get big. But that's changing. This, of course, is the major labels real concern over new innovations and technology. It's not piracy. It's that new technologies take away the biggest scam they've had going for ages: the ability to keep tons of money that never belonged to them. And that's changing. As Stewart notes:
In the future, all incoming revenue streams will be reported in real time, with transaction costs pre-defined and competitive with the market. In the old model, content distributors have been slow and/or reluctant to adopt new media. Distributors frequently take significant portions of creative control out of the hands of the artist, placing restrictions on format, functionality, interactivity and other components. Copyright controls inherently limit the models and methods of release and distribution of artist products. Digital distribution and rights management methods have failed to leverage technological and business advancements to serve consumer, artistic and corporate interests. With many distributors, the feedback loop on consumer usage is also limited. Buyer profiles, habits and usage patterns are not shared with artists, who are then forced to use other means (surveys, focus groups) to determine how their content is being received by the fan. Especially troubling is that, in many cases, artists are not entitled to any control over precisely what happens with their creative work, or to apply some of the new and innovative ideas in the digital landscape due to restrictions from rights holders. Digital media technologies for distribution, asset management, security and monetization have matured to the point that an easy-to-use, scalable, fully featured digital media gateway and financial tracking system is now possible and should be demanded by all artists.

Don Furnald, who was hired as Etiwanda's head baseball coach Thursday, spoke today about trying to spark an Etiwanda program that has one winning season in its last six and hasn't made the playoffs since Brice Sunderland become the athletic director in 1997.
"The biggest expectation is to change the culture of the program," Furnald said. "We're trying to bring in a whole new program. It's not like since I've been an assistant I'm going to come in and run the same program."
Furnald, 30, doesn't think the Eagles are far from being a playoff team.
"It feels like we're right on the brink," he said. "We want to be right in the mix in the Baseline League and that's where we were last year. We're trying to increase the positivity of Etiwanda baseball. We're trying to build a tradition. We haven't had that in a while and we're trying to start that now."
Before he joined the Etiwanda coaching staff in 2006, Furnald was an assistant baseball coach for two years each at Rancho Cucamonga, from which he graduated in 1998, and Anaheim Fairmont Prep.
Furnald accepted a scholarship to Cal State Fullerton to pitch and play outfield but transferred to Cal Poly Pomona in 2000 after red-shirting his freshman season. After two years at Cal Poly Pomona, he was selected in the ninth round of the Major League Baseball first year player draft by the Atlanta Braves. He played two seasons, reaching the Single-A level, before the Braves released him. After a short stint in an independent league in St. Louis, Furnald joined the Rancho Cucamonga coaching staff in 2002.
"It's an exciting opportunity for a coach to grow with our program and this is a young coach who has been part of our district for a long time," Etiwanda athletic director Brice Sunderland said. "We have full confidence he will be with our program and see it into an exciting time."
Etiwanda posted a .500 record last season and finished a game out of third place in an effort to gain a coveted playoff spot in the Baseline League. After the baseball team's last winning season — 14-10 in 2007 — the Eagles collected just five league wins combined in 2008 and 2009 prior to last season. The Baseline League isn't getting any easier seeing as Glendora, the defending CIF Division 2 champions, joins the league this school year.
"We have some kids getting recruited by Division I programs, so we have the talent to compete," Furnald said. "I have an old school mentality that I want the kids to be able to do everything from bunting to stealing bases. We're going to be aggressive and we're going to hustle."

"For me, being inducted into The Citadel Hall of Fame is an honor beyond what words can describe," said Skole. "My time at The Citadel was very special and even more special are the wonderful, life-long relationships I developed while I was there. I was very fortunate to be surrounded by outstanding teammates and outstanding coaches, who continue to positively impact my life on a daily basis. I am very honored and humbled to receive this recognition."
A two-sport star for The Citadel, Skole played third base for the Bulldogs' baseball team, while playing defensive back for the football team.
Skole was a member of The Citadel's 1990 World Series team and is remembered for recording the game-winning hit in the 12th inning to score Anthony Jenkins in the Bulldogs' win over Cal State Fullerton.

He twice earned second team All-Southern Conference honors (1991, '92) at third base and when he graduated, he held the school record for most career games (206) and at bats (731).
On the gridiron, he started 35 consecutive games and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 1988 and '90 I-AA playoffs. A football team captain, he led the league in interceptions his senior season.
Along with Skole, Dallas McPherson (Baseball), Philip Florence (Track & Football), Randy Nesbit (Basketball), Tom McQueeney (Honorary), and Charlie Taaffe (Honorary) will be inducted into the hall this year.

Commie Invasion
The Commies are invading! How do I know this, you ask? Intuition. The Commies will attack and destroy us if we are not prepared! Steel your courage, boys. Soon, you will become men in my new Anti-Commie Army. the United States army will do nothing against this, as they will welcome our pinko masters. But righteousness will prevail! We shall triumph over the Commies and the Commie-loving Axis of Not Very Good! I, Richard the Great, will start the anti-Commie revolution!
Reasons for the Commie Attack[edit]
The Commies look at America and see how well we live, with 0 poverty and such. They want to invade and cause political upheaval. They may even make abortions legal! What's that? They have? THE INVASION HAS ALREADY BEGUN!
How to Stop the Commie Invasion[edit]
I am creating a guerilla force called the Wolverines that will beat back the evil, evil Commies and their allies. The US government has done nothing to stop this tide of "progressive" and "forward" thinking that will surely lead to America's downfall.
About the Wolverines[edit]
The Wolverines are a ragtag group of America-lovers who will band together to fight back the evil wave of Communism and Socialism coming from such places as New Zealand, Europe, and Canada. Our neighbor to the north isn't so neighborly once you actually go there like I did! They have "free healthcare", and "legal marijuana". These things will create high taxes, high crime, and they will undermine American values! THEY MUST BE STOPPED! This is why, once I get enough people willing to defeat the Commies, the Wolverines will storm into Canada and set fire to everything in sight that hates America, like hockey rinks and public hospitals. We must protect America, and retain everything that makes America great, like baseball, apple pies, and no gun control.
What Next?[edit]
Next, we will get a large boat that will be generously supplied by an American company and not one of those EVIL COMMAND ECONOMIES present in those Commie-loving countries! Then, we will sail to the source of this America-hating and stop it. That's right, we are going to invade Russia and kill everyone there! Then, China! NOBODY CAN STOP THIS HOLY CRUSADE AGAINST EVILDOERS!
How to Raise Funds[edit]
Many of you are asking, "How will you get money for this endeavor?" Well, that's simple. We hold annual bake sales in these fine locations:
- Birmingham, Alabama
- Manhattan, New York
- Santa Monica, California
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Jacksonville, Florida
- Wall, South Dakota
Eventually (within the next 5 years) we will have enough money to buy a boat to take to Russia to defeat the Commies ONCE AND FOR ALL!
How You can Help raise Money[edit]
You can bake food to take to these many bakesales, or you can make a check (made out to cash) to ME, Richard the Great! Every donation brings us one step closer to killing EVERY DAMN COMMIE WE CAN SEE! You can also buy my propa-I mean book, Defeating the Commies, available at your local Barnes and Noble, or on the Internet. They cost only $19.99! We only take American currency, as that is the best form of money ever!

According to sex researchers Masters and Johnson, over half of all men experience premature ejaculation and could use tips for prolonging male orgasm. Extending orgasm is something every man can learn. Follow the tips below and learn how to extend your sexual prowess and please your partner harder, better, and longer.
- Take the edge off. This is an old secret for how to prolong orgasm. Before you have intercourse, masturbate or have your partner fellate you to orgasm. When you are ready to have sex again, you will have much more staying power. You can masturbate several times on the day you are planning on having intercourse. As long as you are still able to attain an erection, the previous orgasms will help you prolong orgasm while you are having intercourse.
- Practice. The best way to learn how to prolong an orgasm is to practice on your own and do it often. Masturbate until you feel orgasm is imminent and then stop. Repeat as many as ten times in one masturbatory session. Not only will this help prolong your orgasm, it will increase its intensity once you finally allow yourself to climax.
- Meditate. Breathing exercises and guided imagery are big components of Tantric sex, which sometimes includes multiple male orgasms. The idea behind the technique is to train your mind to affect your bodily responses. To do this, masturbate while breathing slowly and meditatively. Concentrate on your body's responses. When you are about to orgasm, slow your breathing and your movement. At the same time, imagine your sexual energy filling the point behind your eyes, instead of your penis. Let all your energy rush there until you can see light and color behind your eyes. Start masturbating again when you feel the orgasm subside.
- Masters and Johnson or Squeeze Technique. When you are about to orgasm, grasp your penis either at the base or at the head and squeeze tightly to kill the orgasm. This shouldn't be hard enough to cause pain. You want your index and middle finger to be on either side of the ridge of the head of your penis and your thumb to press tightly on the other side, just under the head or tightly clamped around the base. Practice this technique until you get it right.
- Slow down, stop, or switch. Once you know how to determine when orgasm is near, prolong orgasm by changing what you are doing. Instead of continuing to pound away, slow down or stop your movement until the feelings pass. Another option is to pull out of your partner entirely and perform oral or manual sex on her until you have control again. This continues the sex experience, brings her closer to orgasm, and allows you to gain control.
Tips/Warnings: Practice often. These aren't techniques that will work on the first try. Consider the time you spend on this as sex research. What could be more fun than that? Talk to your partner. If your sex partner knows what you are trying to do, you are much more likely to succeed. Don't be embarrassed. Your partner will thank you for improving your game. Never hold off orgasm or use the squeeze technique if it is painful. If you are experiencing pain, go ahead and have an orgasm. You can happily continue your "research" later.

Golden Globes 2013: Jodie Foster speech moves, mystifies
Jodie Foster's winding, emotional acceptance speech upon receiving the Golden Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award was one of the show's standout moments. The 6 1/2-minute oration, in which Foster addressed her sexuality, her privacy, her career and her family, seemed to draw a unanimous reaction at first: one of sheer surprise. After the initial shock subsided, two big questions hung in the air. Had Foster come out as gay? And had she announced her retirement? Reaction in the ballroom, and backstage, was strong, though interpretations varied.
