Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - Street Hunting Honza - GONZO
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Mirek Ceslar, camera in hand, interviewing a series of different guys. He asks them about their attitude towards doing erotic photography for money. Each guy answers, with some saying no and others saying it would be ok if the money is right. After a while he comes upon Honza Solar who agrees to do a shoot, though he does say he doesn't want to do everything. We next see Honza in the studio, sitting at the end of the bed being interviewed again. Mirek asks him to remove his shirt, but Honza declines until he is offered more money. So the shirt comes off, but when Mirek tries to touch him Honza pushes his hand away, complaining. Again he is offered more money, but is still not sure he will allow it and threatens to leave. However, he is eventually persuaded and lays down on the bed, with Mirek kneeling over him. Honza opens his jeans and Mirek instructs him to remove them. Then he lays back down and Mirek's hand begins to run over Honza's body as he films and chats to him. He lifts the band of Honza's underwear so the camera can get a glimpse of what is underneath. Honza is comfortable with this so Mirek tells him to remove the underwear. This he does, showing a very nice set of equipment to the camera, with a very full, dark bush. He then has Honza kneel on the bed so he can film him, in close-up before having him turn around to get a back view. Honza seems to be quite relaxed now and he is asked to hold the camera while Mirek removes his own shirt. Mirek takes the camera back and feels things are going well enough to have Honza start to rub Mirek's body, and remove his jeans and socks. Then Mirek tells Honza to lay back down and he kneels and takes Honza's cock in his hand. Honza then wanks himself as Mirek films him and runs his hand over Honza's legs. Soon Honza's cock is nice and hard. Mirek takes over the wanking and asks Honza to sit up and help him off with his underwear. Mirek then wanks himself and is soon hard, with Honza on his knees watching. Mirek then takes Honza's hand and place it on his cock and immediately knows he can get him to go further. He tells him to suck the cock and Honza does exactly that, his mouth closing over the cock head and sucking. Mirek lays down and Honza kneels over him to suck the cock some more. Then they both kneel and wank each others cocks. Honza has rapidly become very compliant and Mirek decides he can go further. He asks if he can have sex with him and Honza agrees. What a quick turn around in attitude he has had. Mirek wastes no time in slipping his cock into Honza's ass, doggy style, as he holds the camera to film it. He fucks nice and deep and Honza takes it very well. They move to missionary position and fuck some more. Honza seems to be enjoying it as he wanks his cock, getting it very stiff while Mirek fucks him. It is not long before Honza starts to moan as his cum builds up and shoots out of his cock, all over his chest, while Mirek's dick is buried deep in his ass. Mirek is ready to blow too and moves to the side and shoots that load all over Honza, with some landing on his face, and eyelids. He films a close up of his cum and then leave Honza alone on the bed. What a great Gonzo scene, with Honza really deflowered in the process.
Roman Duzda is a very handsome guy, who also has a very good body. We invited him in for a massage and he was very agreeable to the idea. He comes into the massage room and strips off for us, giving a great view of his entire body. Then he climbs onto the massage table, laying on his front, with that lovely bubble butt in view. The masseur arrives and places a towel over Roman's ass before getting to work on his body. He pours a little oil onto Roman's back and begins to massage it, his hands working all over it. As he also massages Roman's hands we have a lovely view of a nice covering of fine hair in his ass crack. The masseurs hands work their way under the towel, concentrating on Roman's ass, before working on his back again. Next it is Roman's legs and feet which get some attention. They are oiled and massaged. As a hand works on one leg the other hand is under the towel again feeling Roman's ass. Now the hands work only on the ass, removing the towel and spreading the cheeks, to see the tight hole. Then the masseur feels Roman's cock as well, which is already quite hard. Time for some more attention to the ass though, and some lube is dropped into the ass crack. It runs down onto Roman's balls and the masseur rubs the crack, and then has another feel of the hard cockhead. Next he slides a finger into Roman's tight hole. Roman seems very relaxed as his hole is invaded, and soon two fingers are working it, stretching it very nicely. A vibrator appears and slips into the hole, going nice and deep. The masseur fucks Roman's hole with the vibrator and as he does so he reaches underneath and begins to wank the cock. Roman's is rock hard as his ass is stuffed and he is moved up onto his knees, with the masseur wanking him. He pushes that hard cock back between Roman's legs as the uses the vibrator on his ass. Next the masseur takes a thicker vibrator and pushes it into Roman's ass and leaves it there as he continues to play with that stiff dick. Roman's ass is quite receptive so an even larger vibrator is used, really stretching his hole as it fucks him. His cock stays rock hard as he feels his ass invaded by the vibrator. Roman is then moved, to lay on his side and a vibrator is slipped into his ass again before he lays onto his back, with the masseur wanking him. Roman's cock is so hard as it is wanked and soon it shoots a nice creamy load. The masseur scoops up some of the cum and smears it over Roman's face before leaving him to relax. Roman is a lovely guy and was a perfected subject for a massage, with that great body. He took it all very well and was really turned on by the ass play. A reall nice scene for us all to enjoy.
Mara Kratky is aged 19 and lives in Prague. He is employed as a barman and likes fishing, boxing, tennis, bowling and partying. What a good looking guy he is, and he gets right to work, after his interview. Standing Mara lifts his sweater, to reveal some very firm abs, which is runs his hands over. He quickly removes the sweater and we can see that although slim Mara is very well defined. His hand slips under the waist band of his jeans, as he starts to feel his cock. Turning around Mara then lets his jeans drop, exposing his ass. We also see his low hanging balls and his cock swaying as he moves, as we look thru his legs. Mara's lovely smooth as looks perfect as he runs his hands over it, stepping out of his jeans at the same time. He then turns sideways and we see that he has a very big cock, which is sticking out from his body, above those pendulous balls. His hand takes hold of the cock and wanks it a bit, keeping it nice and hard, before reclining on the bed and wanking it some more. Mara spreads his legs wide, with his feet tucked up so that his his hole is in view as he wanks. Then he lifts his legs in the air, so that his ass spreads even more and we get a better view of his sweet spot. Mara wants to show us more, and gets onto his knees and pushes his ass back, towards the camera, and the hole is almost winking at us as he wanks that big cock for us. He contorts his body, laying on one shoulder, with his ass high in the air and cock flailing as he wanks it. Then after more display of that smooth, sexy ass Mara turns over and wanks himself to a climax, giving us a nice, creamy load. Fully spent Mara takes himself off to the shower to clean up. What a lovely shoot, from a very handsome guy.
Tomas Razina is aged 24 and lives in Novy Mesto nad Metuji. He works as a salesman and enjoys sports, fitness and athletics. Tomas is a great looking guy and starts his video, in just his underwear, reclining for his interview. Then, looking into the camera his hands beging to caress his splendid body. His six pack is showing well as he caresses his nipples, licking a finger to wet them. Running his hand over his underwear Tomas begins to get hard and soon pulls a throbbing cock out. It is out the leg of his underwear and a nice tan line is also visible. He continues to run his hands over his body as he feels his cock and ball, and then removes his underwear. Laying there, legs spread wide as he wanks his cock Tomas looks wonderful. His cock begins to glisten as it is wanked, with precum leaking. He then twists his body so that his ass is showing, pale against his tanned body, with his cock pushed back between his legs. Then moving to lay on his stomach Tomas present his ass, and spreads his cheeks for us. What a beautiful ass it is too, and the camera lingers a while for us to savor. Tomas then slowly fucks starts to fuck, with his cock rubbing against the material he is laying on. Next he lays on his back and lifts those sturdy legs in the air with that gorgeous ass in full view, his hands spreading the cheeks to ensure that we get a great view of his hole. Tomas then starts to wank his rock hard cock and shoots a very nice load of cream, depositing it on his belly. Finally it is off to the shower for Tomas, where we get to see him standing, for the first time, and showing his body off to perfection as he cleans up after a lovely video shoot.
Roman Ditrich is aged 19 and lives in Beroun. He is a student who loves to party and enjoys motor racing and MTB. What a handsome guy Roman is, with a nice slim body as well. He takes his time stripping for us, and when he is fully naked, we get to see a nice hard cock, sitting proudly atop of some nice big balls. Roman also quickly learns how to spread his lovely ass to good effect. I will be looking forward to seeing his video next week.

MarcusE wrote:Consider a sports analogy. It's good for a football player to spend some time in the weight room each week. But if he spent 2 hours a day lifting weights and 30 minutes a day playing football we would say that he has his priorities a little messed up.
Arkan wrote:When I said "most of my time is wasted studying grammar", I didn't mean Latin grammar, but basic Spanish and English grammar so I can understand Latin grammar. So when i see something like "...present and imperfect subjunctives, the perfect and the plueperfect..." i have no idea of what it means. I have then to stop with latin, look it up and study it, and then go back to Latin, therefore wasting time i should be using for Latin.
D&S, p.8 wrote:So for instance if you do not accept that there is such a thing as neutral word order in Latin, the question of whether Latin is a scrambling language does not even arise...
D&S, p.280 wrote:Noncontrastive topics also occur sentence initially and can be taken to be strong pronouns
(166) Me et tuae litterae... et exspectatio vestrarum litterarum Thessalonicae tenebat (Ad Att 3.11.1)

Nor are these classifications hard and fast:D&S, p.17 wrote:Tails serve to lexically instantiate arguments that are obligatorily projected but are not topics or foci, and at the same time to confirm the hearer's assumptions or refresh his memory about old or inferable information.
In D&S, pp 277-312 are about weak pronouns. Your rules are for weak pronouns (tails) and exclude pronouns which are topics or have focus (strong or weak).D&S, p.16 wrote:While topic is principally associated with old information and focus with new information, the correlation is not dependable. It is perfectly possible for old information to be (weakly or strongly) focussed whether it is topical or not, even pronouns
(22) uter nostrum tandem, Labiene, popularis est, tune...an ego?
(Pro Rab Perd 11).
you refer to pg. 280 of D&S which shows some non-contrastive pronouns going first in the clause, and suggest I should adjust my rules. I agree that these are exceptions but don't see how I can adjust my rules, because D&S do not give any objective criterion for why this happens.
By avoiding Terence, you avoid so many examples of Latin conversation and many examples of initial pronouns in short sentences (from someone whose latinity was admired by both Julius Caesar and Cicero, I think I remember)!cb wrote:I am limiting my searches to Golden prose to avoid influences of poetic metre or other factors in the results
Terence in Adelphoe wrote:"id mihi vehementer dolet et me tui pudet." "Tune has pepulisti fores?" "Ego dicam tibi" "Is venit ut secum avehat" "tu quantus quantu's nil nisi sapientia es" "id misero restat mihi mali si illum potest..." "me miseram" "tu cum illa intus te oblecta interim" "Me quaerit. num quidnam effert?" "Ellum, te exspectat domi" "Ei mihi, etiam de sorte nunc venio in dubium miser?" "Egon debacchatus sum autem an tu in me?" "Tu quod te posterius purges..." "Ego istam invitis omnibus" "Tu homo aadigis me ad insaniam!" "Is meus est factus" "Ego illi maxumam partem fero" "Te plura in hac re peccare ostendam" "Ei mihi, pater esse disce ab illis qui vere sciunt" "Ego hanc clementem vitam..." "Eam nos acturi sumus novam"
"eas non nosse te" (acc + inf inversion)
That statement makes great sense to me. But you want to rule for demonstrable contrastives and not for strong pronouns, so you leave the larger class minus the minority class as exceptional cases and the minority class as the norm. That won't do, surely, especially when you recommend casting "me monent" (Direct Object - Verb) over "monent me" (Verb - Direct Object) on the principle that "me" is a personal pronoun and according to your Rule 4, without reference to (general) neutral word order.D&S. p.279 wrote:Most instances of sentence initial pronouns in Latin seem to be strong. Some are demonstrably contrastive.
cb wrote:i have no stats on latin word order
2. In an infinitive phrase, a pronoun goes first, except when it doesn't,—which MIGHT be most of the time!
3. A pronoun governed by a preposition follows the preposition, except when it doesn't in particular cases.
4. Otherwise, pronouns go immediately after first position, except when they don't,—which MIGHT be most of the time!

Evelyn Dunbar (1906-1960)
The importance of Evelyn Dunbar (1906-1960) in the history of British 20th century art is continually being reassessed and belatedly recognised. A gifted draughtswoman: youthful prodigy; brilliant student at the Royal College of Art under Sir William Rothenstein and a galaxy of teaching staff including Allan Gwynne-Jones, Alan Sorrell and Charles Mahoney; principal muralist at Brockley School; book illustrator; devout Christian Scientist; official World War 2 artist, the only woman artist to be salaried throughout the war; post-war allegorist and much-loved teacher; subtly insistent feminist; devoted plantswoman, gardener and inspired advocate of 'green' values; warm and witty but self-effacing personality with many accomplishments including, unexpectedly, rock-climbing and playing the banjo; but above all a very individual artist of spirited imagination and consummate technique, whose work, which hangs in all major UK galleries and several overseas, defies ready classification.
Born in Reading, Berkshire, into a merchant family, Evelyn Dunbar moved in childhood to Kent, where she lived for most of her life. A close post-RCA relationship with Charles Mahoney, with whom she shared the painting of the Brockley Murals, also led to the jointly written and illustrated Gardeners' Choice (1937). Her Christian Scientist background helped her to develop firm ideas about the interaction of mankind and nature. Initially limited to the context of the family garden in Rochester, Kent, her ideas found a wider field of expression when, having been appointed Official War Artist in 1940, Evelyn Dunbar quickly became particularly associated with the Women's Land Army. Her remit to record women's home front activities also allowed her to promote a gentle and unaggressive feminism.
Evelyn Dunbar's relationship with Mahoney ended in 1937. In 1940 she met and married Roger Folley, then an RAF officer but later to become a leading horticultural economist. Their common interests and convictions encouraged Dunbar, after the war, to concentrate on a series of allegorical paintings and drawings which reflected her beliefs, and also her debt to Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaëlites, whose ideas about the function of art and the place of narrative in painting she acknowledged as strongly influential.
Evelyn Dunbar divided her postwar years between allegories, teaching as a Visitor at the Ruskin School, exhibiting - as she had done before the war - in a rather dilatory and self-effacing way, and, towards the end of her life, recording her beloved Kent in landscapes again expressive of the synergy between man and nature. Evelyn Dunbar died suddenly at the age of 53, leaving behind a studio collection of some 800 works, major and minor, which only came to light in 2013 and for the public presentation of which Liss Llewellyn Fine Art has been responsible. Among them was a wealth of paintings and drawings bespeaking, as does her entire œuvre, a warm and cheerful personality working in the best humanist tradition of English art, and a modest and imaginative woman of deep convictions, richly gifted in her means and techniques of expressing them.
We are grateful to Christopher Campbell Howes for his assistance.

text: Covered, a blog started almost a year ago by illustrator Robert Goodin, features a new artist's reinterpretation of a classic comic book cover almost every day. Some are very different from the original, others are just copies rendered in a different medium, and others still are practically unrecognizable (see above). Best of all, anyone can submit their re-imagining of a comic cover, and with Goodin receiving between 5 and 20 submissions every week, the odds are pretty good that if your design is at all decent you'll be featured. He also includes the names of designers who created the original covers, which is nice in a nerdy, fanboy sort of way. (Underwire)

Two NFL assiistants the Eagles have interviewed, Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, are free to take NFL jobs, with their teams losing this weekend.
But the Eagles' trudge toward a new coach took a bizarre twist Sunday with the report from CSNPhilly.com's Reuben Frank that the team last week interviewed former Ravens coach Brian Billick. Billick was working as the analyst Sunday on FOX's broadcast of the Seattle-Atlanta game, and Eagles fans were among many across the country chuckling at his misstatements and bizarre opinions -- until they heard he might be their next coach.
At one point, Billick went on an extended riff about how Seattle might not go for it on fourth down near the Falcons'' goalline, because a field goal would make it a two-score game. But the Seahawks had just picked up a first down, and they trailed by 20 points.
The Eagles interviewed McCoy last Sunday, the day before Frank says they interviewed Billick. They interviewed Bradley Saturday.
As tends to happen when your team loses a playoff game, neither McCoy nor Bradley covered himself in glory this weekend, but the problems of the Seattle defense seemed to have more to do with physical mismatches than with scheme or gameplan. McCoy must bear some of the brunt of an extremely conservative approach to the end of the game by Denver, which helped Baltimore come back to tie and then win in the second overtime.
Billick led the Ravens to the Super Bowl title following the 2000 season. No Super Bowl-winning coach has ever gone to another team and won again.

HONESDALE- Janine Edwards, Wayne County District Attorney, on Jan. 31 announced the arrest of Mark Nicholas Jarema, age 38, of Leesburg, New Jersey for several weapons related Felonies.
Jarema was extradited on January 28 to Wayne County to face charges of Aggravated Assault, Person Not to Possess a Firearm (2 counts), Unlawful Killing or Taking of Big Game (28 Counts), False Imprisonment, Terroristic Threats and Carrying a Loaded Rifle in a vehicle.
The Affidavit of Probable Cause filed by Pennsylvania Wildlife Conservation Officer Frank J. Dooley, alleges that Jarema was shooting deer in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to sell to various restaurants in New Jersey.
On the night of October 23, 2010, Jarema used a 30-06 rifle and a spotlight to hunt deer from a vehicle in Clinton and Mt. Pleasant Townships. Jarema forced a female companion, at gunpoint and with threats, to drive while he shot or attempted to shoot 30 deer from the vehicle. Jarema fired the rifle next to the face of the female driver and used the female driver's head as a gun rest to steady the rifle. During early morning hours of October 24, 2010, Jarema processed many of the slain deer at the home of the female driver, then the processed deer meat was transported to two restaurants in New Jersey.
Jerema is and was a person not allowed to possess a firearm under Pennsylvania law. District Magistrate Ronald Edwards set Jarema's bail at $50,000.00.
Jarema is scheduled for an initial Central Court appearance at the Wayne County Courthouse on February 6, 2013.
Jarema is charged with 26 Felonies related to the killing or attempting to kill the deer from the roadway. An amendment to the Game and Wildlife Code, effective September 10, 2010, makes it a Felony to illegally kill or attempt to kill multiple big game during the same criminal episode.

Kanye West will appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Wednesday night, where the pair will reportedly have their "feud" moderated by Dr. Phil.
No, I'm not kidding. I couldn't make up something like that.
According to the Daily Beast, Kimmel said Tuesday, "It'll just be us, and Dr. Phil. And neither of us is leaving until this government shutdown gets solved."
As you may or may not know, the pair allegedly began feuding last month, after Kimmel spoofed a rambling interview West did with the BBC. West responded by ripping Kimmel on Twitter and calling him before his show the next night. Kimmel made more fun of him; we all stopped to watch; etc.
The website reported Kimmel swears the whole thing isn't a stunt.
Of course, it isn't.

As for Mr. Milner — who does post here on Textkit on occasion — his efforts and passion deserve the most lauding, and I mean that with great sincerity.
As for ae sounding like oe — that's probably because the text he's reading from spells it cœlum, rather than cælum, rather than caelum. A common printing error followed by the pronunciation error.
Kyneto Valesio wrote:On that point I think you are probably mistaken. In one lesson, called "Swallowing the Dictionary" he says coelum in its place with the other words beginning "co". To me it sounds like "caelum". Perhaps the very fact that we have both "coelum" and "caelum" points to the fact that this represents some sort of received pronunciation. I don't know.
I have also been intensively listening to the Latinum podcast. The only pronunciation which I found odd was this one too, which wasn't realated to caelum/coelum in anyway: I am talking about the dative of qui (don't remember the exact contexts, but it probably was "Cui est liber?", or a related sentence). Is this intentional, or a mistake? If it is intentional, does anyone know if there is a rationale behind it?
His contemporaries might have noticed that and said something about it, surely.
Lucus Eques wrote:What is this English elision you speak of? The only example that comes to mind is Elizabethan "in th'afternoon."
You are using too big a brush to paint your picture. Some sounds (depending on where exactly you look and who you are talking about) in contemporary Irish-English show the influence of English, Scottish and Welsh planter settlement on language habits in the 16th-17th centuries, as the population (unwillingly and then inescapably) begins to move from Irish as a first language to English as a first language for the most part. That's significantly different from Irish-English speaking today distinctly resembling Shakespearean English. You would have to say it distinctly resembles many other ways of speaking also, and your point would be lost. Some contemporary Irish-English sounds will be similar to Shakespearean English-English and some will not, otherwise we might be led to expect the discovery of witness that a 16th-century Irish speaker of English sounded distinctly like a Shakespearean English person. To contemporaries it was the differences that were distinctive. Apologies, Luce. Maybe I'm arguing too much, because all I'm objecting to is the exaggeration of the word "distinct".Lucus Eques wrote:The modern Irish accents (all 30 or so of them) for the most part retain an older pronunciation of English, and most bear a distinct resemblance to Shakespearean.
Chris Weimer wrote:I don't think you understand the linguistics behind it, Lucus Eques. What do you think "ain't" is? Or gonna? One of my personal favorites is I'd've. I don't recall anyone using it before me, but it appears that it is now on Wikipedia.

When, in elocution lessons, you learn "correct" English pronunciation, you are taught to enunciate clearly: all the vowels (almost) and all the syllables. In natural speech, a native speaker does not enunciate so clearly but frequently elides (plus other things). The vowel sounds can be dropped altogether or they can be retained but distinctions between them become blurred. And consonants can get dropped and syllables run together. "How do you do?" becomes "How dew do?" Northern Ireland is almost like "Norn Ir'n" in some accents. The careful articulation of "received" pronunciation sounds artificial or "frightfully proper" or even used for comic effect today. Eliza Dolittle couldn't (sorry, "could not") get a presenter's job in the BBC today and Henry Higgins now works as a dialogue coach. (Oh hello, Chris. I hadn't spotted your earlier post. It's --oops, "it is"--as you say.)

1626 BACON Sylva §124 The Cause given of Sound, that it should be an Elision of the Air (whereby, if they mean anything, they mean Cutting or Dividing, or else an Attenuating of the Air) is but a Terme of Ignorance. 1660 BOYLE New Exp.

but I'm going to check my Cambridge English Grammar when I get home to see if linguistic usage maintains any fine distinctions, or is so mad as to say that, when an elision becomes so common it stops being an elision because it is now called a contraction!!!The elided form of a word or phrase may become a standard alternative for the full form, if used often enough. In English, this is called a contraction, such as can't from cannot. Contraction differs from elision in that contractions are set forms that have morphologized, but elisions are not.
He includes "don't" and "he's" under the category of elision and he gives the following typical examples (along with loads of others):A second type of simplification involves not an adjustment to a sound, but its complete removal. This is known as elision; the missing sound is said to have been elided.
One of my personal favorites is I'd've.

Like many theoretical physicists, science journalist Daniel Clery believes atomic fusion is the best solution to the world's future energy needs.
Like many theoretical physicists, science journalist Daniel Clery believes atomic fusion is the best solution to the world's future energy needs. So far, though, it is an elusive goal. Clery looks at the frustrating history of "the quest for fusion energy" and its hopeful future in his informative book "A Piece of the Sun" (621.484).
In 1974, little Kirby Mazrachi meets a nice young man who gives her a toy and promises he will see her again. The nice young man does return, but in 1989 when he viciously attacks her. Somehow she survives and teams up with the newspaper reporter who covered her story to try to find her attacker. What they discover about him is simply bizarre: that nice young man is Harper Curtis, an elusive serial killer who travels through time to find his victims. "The Shining Girls" is a chiller by Lauren Beukes.
Following the death of her older sister, Sarah Zuckerman's family fell apart. The 10-year-old found solace with the new girl across the street, Jenny Jones, and her all American family. When Sarah wrote to Soviet leader Yuri Andropov begging him to end the Cold War, Jenny also sent a letter and, surprisingly, received a response. She became a media sensation and the Jones family was invited to the Soviet Union. The friendship between the two girls cooled, and like most of the rest of the world, Sarah believed the Joneses disappeared years later in a plane crash. But one day Sarah receives a letter from a woman in Russia who hints that Jenny is alive and well. Elliott Holt tells the rest of the story in her fine debut, "You Are One of Them."
In a time sadly hallmarked by senseless murders, it is easy to forget the shock that gripped the nation in 1969 when sociopath Charles Manson and his drug-fueled "family" went on a killing spree in Los Angeles. Among their victims was pregnant actress Sharon Tate, the wife of film director Roman Polanski. Journalist Jeff Guinn details "the life and times of Charles Manson" in his comprehensive and fascinating biography "Manson" (364.152).
Reluctantly returning to Butte, Montana, with his new wife, Grace, Morrie Morgan takes up residence in the mansion owned by eccentric librarian Sam Sandison. For their free room and board, Morrie has agreed to pay the upkeep on the house, so he takes a job as editorial writer for the new newspaper in town which happens to be owned by the union that is opposing the management of Anaconda Copper Mining Company — the biggest, most influential employer in the area. We reconnect with the affable wastrel Morrie and many others from Ivan Doig's vast array of characters in his latest book, "Sweet Thunder."
Our concepts of life in Regency England have been shaped by Jane Austen's ever popular novels and their film adaptations. Yet there was much more to that time period than country balls and social intrigue. Historians and archaeologists Roy and Lesley Adkins piece together a multitude of writings —including manuscripts, letters, and diaries — to create a richly detailed look at every aspect of life in "Jane Austen's England" (942.070).

This church faces Palazzo Antinori. It is mentioned in documents dating from as early as the mid-11th c. It was entirely rebuilt in the Baroque style after 1604.
The façade features two orders of fluted pilaster strips and is richly decorated. The steps leading up to the church were rebuilt in 1701 by Carlo Marcellini. The interior is one of the rare intact examples of Florentine Baroque; the church is laid out as a Latin cross with three chapels on each side.
Next to the chapels are marble statues of the Apostles and the Evangelists, with bas-reliefs showing scenes of their lives. The sculpture cycle was worked on by several artists, and is one of the most important 17th century Florentine cycles.
To the left of the church is the Antinori chapel, which was rebuilt by Gherardo Silvani following the expansion of the church.

Will the Rolla get rain, snow, sleet, or ice in the next storm moving into the area? The National Weather Service says to expect all of the above.
Will the Rolla get rain, snow, sleet, or ice in the next storm moving into the area? The National Weather Service says to expect all of the above.
Gene Hatch, a National Weather Service meteorologist based in Springfield, said the dividing line for Winter Storm 'Q' seems to be Interstate 44, with the more significant snow risk to the north, and freezing rain and ice to the south of the highway, but there is still time for that to change.
"Right now the system is getting a little bit more clear," said Hatch. "There are still some things we have to resolve with this system. The track of the system has sagged to the south. The farther south the cold air goes, the more chance there is for sleet and snow."
Hatch said his current thoughts are that Rolla should expect between 1-3 inches of snow.
"Initially, as the system comes in, it will start as snow," said Hatch. The snow will turn to sleet Thursday during the day, then will turn to freezing rain Thursday evening.
The freezing rain could coat the area with 1/10-2/10 of an inch of ice.
Currently, according to Hatch, the most accumulation is expected to hit the Columbia area, with 4-6 inches expected to fall. If the cold air continues to push farther sough, there is still the potential for significant accumulation in Rolla.
The National Weather Service has already issued a winter storm watch for the Rolla area starting late Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon. A winter storm watch is issued when there is a potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

Harry Melges III
Harry Melges, III is the son of Harry C. 'Buddy' Melges, Jr., and grandson of Melges Boat Works' founder Harry C. Melges, Sr. At a young age, Harry knew that sailing would be his life. He was hooked almost immediately on building, sailing and designing boats. At the age of nine, he built his first sailboat, and he and his younger brother Hans won their first championship together. Part of growing up also meant learning about the family boat-building business. He worked his way from sweeping floors at the age of eight to physically building the boats in the factory as he grew older — carefully studying how to construct a boat from start to finish, delivering them to customers, tuning, and racing each one.
For Harry, building boats and designing sails means being out on the water attempting to find the perfect configuration and fastest sail shape. This lifelong endeavor not only has made him one of the finest businessmen in the sailing industry, but also one of its most experienced and acknowledged competitors. Having practically sailed from the time he was born, he is one of the toughest, yet well-respected competitors in the sport of sailing.
"The future of the sport of sailing is definitely one design. It's the grass roots of this sport, and I believe it will always be its strength. It is a proving ground for young sailors; it brings out the best in everyone," says Melges. "One design feeds all other aspects of the sport. Our goal at Melges is to continue to simplify, improve and grow our family of products. This will encourage sailors of all ages and skill levels to have fun and enjoy sailing."

Take the pain out of meal cleanup with disposable cutlery. Whether you're serving a casual family picnic or a large event, they can make the process run more smoothly. Choose from a range of high-quality cutlery from brands such as Berkeley Square, Brighton Professional, and Dixie.
Sturdy Construction
Disposable cutlery is made from materials that are sturdy but lightweight, making storage and transportation a breeze. Choose standard plastic utensils in medium or light weights for casual meals. For a formal or professional event, opt for sturdy heavyweight cutlery that performs to the same standard as metal utensils. You'll also find task-specific cutlery such as cake cutters and tongs.
Stylish Designs
Disposable utensils come in a wide range of styles and finishes, so you can select the one that best suits the tone of your event. Choose utensils with decorative handles to add a special touch to a formal dinner or a simple, classic design for a family meal. Match your cutlery to your disposable plates and cups for a coordinated look.

Re: What Book Are You Currently Reading? Part V

I,also, like the Kellermans.Sam I Am wrote:I'm alternating between two books, one fiction, and one that would make me much happier if it was a book of fiction.
My fiction read is by Jonathan Kellerman, one of my favorite who-done-it authors. This time around Lt. Sturgis and Doctor Delaware are trying to find a serial killer, and the body count is rising, in Victims. The Kellerman family of authors also includes wife Faye, son Jesse, and daughter (her name escapes me for now). The daughter is young, and hasn't written any books geared toward adult readers, to my knowledge, yet. The son and wife are fine authors in their own right.
My non-fiction read is by Charles Murray, and is titled Coming Apart - The State of White America, 1960-2010. The book discusses the growing divide in how upper class and lower class Americans are separated by much more than just income, as they have so little in common today vs 50-60 years ago. Depressing reading with more than a little truth in his observations.

To be quite blunt, I believe in free choice.
I think that logic dictates our actions, and logic can only bring us to a single choice when faced with many. That is not really free choice, but it isn't fate either.

Perhaps the inability to acertain what exactly caused which reaction is called free will?
First of all, we do indeed need the 'illusion' of free will. I do no think so much to maintain order, in fact, free will is the opposite of order, but to maintain a reason for living, believe in ones capabilities, etc., happines.
As for everything being one big chain reaction, i would say uncountable little chain reactions, but that's just a matter of expression.
The same goes for 'predetermination', i know its just an expression, but i really think the word indicates something being 'predetermined', pre-established, that there is a plan, or a logic to it. Can we call in "Reactionalism"? Please?
Emma, would you indeed jump of a skyscraper in order to prove free will, as you said yourself, you would be reacting to disbelief in free will and to your overwhelming need to prove it.
Good and evil indeed cannot exist. Good and evil are view points, do you really think Bin Laden considers himself evil?
Good and evil are a matter of preference and necessity. Law is necesarry (at least to a certain extent) and therefore good, and braking it is evil (bad).
I will be happy to admit that insects have a mind. if that's what the scientist say, I'm perfectly happy for the insects.
As for the ability to learn, this a mere reaction to having a brain the size it is (and whatever else comes with it, as i said i'm no biologist). Brainsize is reaction upon evolution, which is an enormous chain reaction as we have established. Likewise, instinct is a reaction upon evolution.
I'm being pretty repetative, i know, but this is really all there seems to say on the subject.
Perhaps prooving predestination should be discussed in a new thread without the issue of free will interferig.

The 23rd Annual Sea Witch Halloween and Fiddler's Festival will return to the streets and shores of Rehoboth Beach this weekend with creative costumes and the sounds of cackling witches and melodic fiddles. Check out these six must-see events taking place Saturday and Sunday.
The 23rd Annual Sea Witch Halloween and Fiddler's Festival will return to the streets and shores of Rehoboth Beach this weekend with creative costumes and the sounds of cackling witches and melodic fiddles.
And, the three-day festival has more than just two decades of costumed fun to celebrate this year, as it was just included in the American Bus Association's list of the "Top 100 Events in North America." The ABA annually evaluates hundreds of nominations for fairs, festivals, parades, exhibits, theater performances and other shows, selecting those that are best to experience on a group tour. The resulting list is coveted by travel professionals, motorcoach operators and the general public as a fun travel guide.
The three-day event is jam-packed, though, with events, contests, activities, parades and live entertainment. Here are a few you shouldn't miss:
1 The costume parade (11 a.m., Saturday)
Join thousands of other costumed enthusiasts for one of the biggest events of the weekend: the annual costume parade. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center (229 Rehoboth Avenue) and no one who wants to walk will be turned away. The walkers will also be joined by at least seven marching bands and fifty motorized vehicles and floats. Expect to see some giant car-sized balloons as well as a colorful and creative array of costumes.
And, if you join the walk, why not sign up for the costume contest as well? Judges will award trophies to their favorites at the bandstand at approximately 12:30 p.m.
2 The string strummers (1 to 6 p.m., Saturday)
The Fiddler's Festival is the only official one in the state. As such, fiddlers and banjo players spend the afternoon competing to be the master of toe-tapping tunes in three categories: best banjo player, best fiddle player and best blue grass group. For adult contestants, there's $1,500 on the line. The kids are competing for $300. The whole musical spectacle is free but donations are appreciated.
3 The sea witch skim and surf contest (9:15 a.m., Saturday)
When the clock crows at a quarter past nine, head eastward towards the sea to catch a glimpse of surfs and skimboarders of all skill levels, competing in a contest that pair creative wave management skills with creative costuming abilities. Normally, surf contests are all about the skills and while that's still important here, the best costume will win a free week of camp. Awards and trophies will also be awarded for the top four finishers in each age and skill division. For more information, as a competitor or a spectator, call (302) 227-7087.
4 The Sea Witch 5K Classic and 1-Mile Fright Walk (9 a.m., Sunday)
Sunday morning, join the Seashore Striders for the annual 5K and 1-Mile Walk. More than 500 runners and spectators show up in costume. That's right, see cartoon characters, cheerleaders and various farm animals and monsters running for the finish line.
Don't like running but do like carbohydrates? The group traditionally hosts a bake sale at the same time.
5 The Sea Witch Hunt (1 p.m., Saturday)
Put your sleuthing skills to the test with the annual Sea Witch Hunt. The chase will begin at 1 p.m., Saturday afternoon and participants have to check in with the official clue keeper for the 100-plus location list. The location list is a set of clues that should lead you to a specific location where the sea witch is "hiding." Hunters have until 5 p.m. to turn in their best guesses. However, whoever turns in the earliest correct guess will win a cash prize. The winner will be announced at the bandstand on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
6 The Cackle Contest (2:15 p.m., Sunday)
New this year is the cackle contest. Bemused witches and warlocks of all ages and sizes are invited to demonstrate their most haunting hoots and snide snickers. The winner will be determined by applause.

Skip to comments.Allen West concedes to Patrick Murphy

click here to read article
We are in agreement on this topic.
We can also thank the GOP for once again guaranteeing future vote fraud by not challenging even the most blatant, in your face, vote fraud.
I, too, am done with the GOP. I think they're all the same, all they want is to get elected and keep their cushy jobs, titles and perks. To he** with the voters seems to be what they are saying. If the dumba** people of his district wanted the drunked Murphy - then let them have him.
I doubt Col. West wants to represent them now anyway. I know I wouldn't.
He's 51; he could easily run again in the next mid-terms.
The "redistricted" argument along with conspiracy theories were hashed out back in January...
I cant speak to the FL legislatures motives, but it is nearly impossible to craft an R-leaning, non-Cuban district in SE FL under the current laws and comply with the Fair Districts Act. Wests current district runs up and down the Gold Coast, stretching inland in arms to gobble up Republican-leaning areas. Its pretty thorough, and even then it is a swing district. Under Fair Districts, the Republican legislature cant do that anymore. In fact, it is arguably stretching what it can do under the current iteration of Wests district. . .Florida GOP trying to force Allen West out of Congress through redistricting?
I am truly angry. They stole the seat from a great soldier. The Gop caused this to happen. From redistricting to No support for West for a very long time. I hope that are damn well happy now. Excuse my language. They were embarrassed by a black conservative that took no spin from the opposing(hateful) side. They can celebrate along with their liberal pals now. Thank you Allen for your service and loyalty to America. I admire your boldness. God Bless you, sir.
I know how you feel. There is no excuse for America not to see and lift up greatness. It is going to take the tea party to do so and get our guys in places of power as we are able. I think mid terms is a perfect time.
Allen West Brigade 2012 Published Nov 19th 2012
Just shocked that out of a half a million people in a district which runs from Port St. Lucie (the Rio Linda of Florida's Atlantic coast), to Key West, with the Miami suburbs in between, no Dim filed to run for a Dim primary for this seat.
Something smells.
You are right. I bet the Dim party spiked any other candidate applications so they could just pick their puppet.
Yes, this is true. He represented my family. I remember Allen being interviewed on a local radio show. He said while campaigning the first time around; he not only had to defend himself against his opponent but as well as the rino political correct establishment (same ones that went after Palin no doubt) This is why I feel comfortable in making my charge that the GOP caused this to happen long ago. All the negative ads made him to be crazy. Not one word/ad of opposing those extreme attacks that I saw from HG GOP.
He did not have the money to mount the legal battle:
I wish he had the backing from our party to challenge this further. Hopefully, he will not retire completely.
FL is so corrupt, and West knows this. Too bad he decided to move there, when he had many options once he retired from the Army
Posted by allenwestrepublic on November 20, 2012
Stuart, FL Today Congressman Allen West released the following statement ending the race for Floridas 18th District:
For two weeks since Election Day, we have been working to ensure every vote is counted accurately and fairly. We have made progress towards that goal, thanks to the dedication of our supporters and their unrelenting efforts to protect the integrity of the democratic process. While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election.
While there are certainly still inaccuracies in the results, and the actions of the St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections rightly raise questions in my mind and for many voters, after much analysis and this past weekends recount in St. Lucie County, our legal team does not believe there are enough over-counted, undercounted or fraudulent votes to change the outcome of the election.
While a contest of the election results might have changed the vote totals, we do not have evidence that the outcome would change. Given the extremely high evidentiary hurdles involved in a successful challenge, I will not ask my generous supporters to help fund a drawn-out, expensive legal effort with little chance of success. Therefore, we will not contest the certification or challenge the seating of Congressman-elect Murphy.
Serving the people in the House of Representatives has been among the highest honors of my life, but this seat does not belong to me, or for that matter, to any individual. It belongs to the people.
I want to congratulate my opponent, Patrick Murphy, as the new Congressman from the 18th Congressional District. I pray he will serve his constituents with honor and integrity, and put the interests of our nation before his own.
I must thank my wife Angela, and my daughters Aubrey and Austen for their support, patience, understanding and most of all, love. These are three of the toughest women I know. They have sent me off to defend our nation overseas at war, and to Capitol Hill to serve our nation in the House of Representatives. They have all handled the challenges of these last few months, and the last many years, with amazing grace. I know they will be by my side for whatever is our next chapter.
I want to thank my congressional and campaign staff for their service, and most importantly, I want to thank all of our tremendous supporters who provided their time and money to power our campaign. I am humbled by the dedication and perseverance of our supporters, and their commitment to a free and prosperous America. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our campaign, but most importantly, what they have done, and will continue to do for our country. None of us should let the outcome discourage us. We should only redouble our resolve.
Above all, I want to thank God for his blessings, and for blessing me with the opportunity to serve.
Only God knows what is in store for each of us. I have dedicated my life to serving this nation, and the results of this election will not change my purpose. Just as I did in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, just as I did on Capitol Hill, I will continue to fight for our Republic.
Our nation will not overcome our challenges overnight, and the road ahead for each one of us will not be easy. But this nation would never have become that shining beacon of light if our founders had chosen the easy path 236 years ago. We all must proudly continue their legacy.
For the protection and preservation of our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, I shall remain steadfast and loyal. God bless you and God bless these United States of America.
Come on, a guy can dream can't he?
Every comment following the article was against West. Shows who reads Politico.
I really need to find a new country if there isn't going to be any secession.
What a bunch of racists!! If he was a Demoncrat - then the entire country would be in an uproar over this. I feel sick at heart over this. We've lost a great Congressman. The GOP offered him a run in some districts in GA, and he said his wife wanted to live in FL, so that's where they settled. Maybe he'll change his mind.
We must keep him in prayer that God will guide and keep this wonderful servant of his.
I wonder which candidate these stupid voters would rather have on their side in a fight? A man who would go through hell with a gas can, or a drunken 29 year old nothing?
They all are in gaga land with Obama getting back in. Free gifts, you know. Nasty doesn't even describe the democrats comments any longer. They are truly twisted with no conscience.
My brother was in the army and fought in the VietNam and first gulf wars. He said he feels betrayed by his country to see them vote for Obama. I told some liberals what he said. They asked me is he mad because we now allow gay marriage and have pot legalized? I told them no. He fought against America's enemies and put his life on the line for this country and he never thought they would vote in someone who would undermine all our military has done just so they could get free stuff but they have. The liberals said I am afraid of some imagined boogey man out there. The educational system and media have brought us to this point in time.
A drunken 29-year-old who will give them free stuff and whose miserable career will be covered up by a syncophantic press.
The comments on Politico are vicious. that's who we're up against. Haters, pure and simple.
I had 2 older brothers right above me in age who served in VietNam as well. They both are no longer here. We lost them at a very young age. They loved their country and enlisted. I just don't like to talk it about. I was very close to both. It still hurts. I agree with everything your brother told you. God Bless you and your dear brother.
Florida dumps West and brings back psycho Alan Grayson. It truly is Bizarro World.

There are a lot of scenarios where dealing for Revis doesn't make much sense, and I think it's a reason why the market for Revis at least appears to be cooling down a bit.
So that begs the question, at what point does the price make sense for Revis? The Seahawks didn't think that Flynn made sense for them when they thought he'd get Kolb money. When it became apparent this was not the case, that interest was ignited and Seattle ultimately pulled the trigger after viewing Flynn's situation as an opportunity. If the cost for Revis comes down enough, I think Seattle will have interest, the question is where would it begin to make sense?
First you have to determine how much Revis is actually worth. That leads me to a series of questions:
How will Revis play coming off an ACL injury?
A few years ago, the ACL injury probably would have killed Revis' trade value almost completely, but in recent years there have been many cases of players returning to full strength after such an injury. Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry, etc. Revis has speed to spare (4.38 forty) and that seems to be the common link between those who bounced back the best from the injury. You can't rule out the impact completely, but it's not insane to think that you'd get Revis type production from Revis in 2013. The injury does increase the risk though, and will certainly effect the Jets' asking price.
How likely is Revis to be retained after 2013 and what might his market price be?
Revis can't be franchised after next season and is seeking an insane amount of money in free agency. Whichever team trades for Revis will have zero leverage in contract talks and it's considerably likely that Revis will hit open free agency next year. And if that happens, it's anyone's guess where he ends up. Overall, I'd say it's likely that whichever franchise trades for Revis is getting a rental.
That said, don't overlook the "upside" of actually landing Revis in a long term deal after 2013. Teams that make trades for rental types have generally enjoyed a bit of an inside track on getting the next contract. I think at least some of Revis' high demands come from the fact that he plays for a lousy Jets team and probably wants out. If Seattle makes a deep playoff run (which I think is pretty likely) and Revis believes he is on the NFL's best team, it's going to make it harder to take that slightly better offer from the Jacksonville Jaguars or Cleveland Browns next march. Revis is already very rich, and I think the next contract is really more of an ego thing. If you make him the highest paid corner, that might be enough.
The highest paid corners in the NFL made around $11 million last season. Revis wants $16 million a year. Maybe after a very positive experience in 2013, he might sign back in the $12-$14 million range. FWIW, when you compare Revis to other high paid NFL players, I think he justifies that kind of salary pretty easily. He's one of the most valuable non-QB players in the league. Or to look at it another way, is Revis worth as much as Zach Miller and Alan Branch combined? Because that's what $12 to 14 million in salary looks like. Of course, you don't want to lose essential players so we're just talking dollars in expendable/luxury players.
It would be nice if we had a "wins over replacement" type stat in football as they do in baseball, then the calculation of Revis' worth would be very easy. We don't, but consider that this is a league where Brandon Flowers, Leon Hall, Chris Gamble, DeAngelo Hall, Nnamdi Asomugha, and an old Champ Bailey all made $8 to $11 million at the cornerback position last season. A league where good #2 corners like Brandon Carr get 5/50 contracts.
I genuinely feel that if you get Revis back on a 5/60 or 5/70 contract (which would make him the highest paid corner in the league by a good margin), you are getting a more than solid return on your investment. If he proves healthy and as good as ever.
How much is Revis worth purely as a rental?
If you deal for Revis, what is a reasonable price in the event he's just a rental for one season? His cap hit is a reasonable $9 million in 2013. As expressed above, I think even $14 million is a fair price for a contributor of his magnitude. So his 2013 salary of $9 million is a plus, in my opinion.
Paying a 1st round pick in the event of a rental is far too much. I think a late 2nd rounder sounds about right though for a team that is front and center for the Superbowl discussion entering the 2013 season. To be clear, I think a late 2nd rounder is an overpay for one season of any player, but there is a higher chance to have Revis beyond 2013 if you trade for him and that added chance carries value.
I also think that 1 season of Revis carries a lot more value to a team like Seattle than it would to a middling team because it would make a hard team to beat even tougher. Even if Revis leaves, would anyone complain about burning the #64 pick if the Revis trade helped us win a Superbowl? In a worst case scenario, Seattle fails to win it all, Revis walks, and the pick is lost. That's not a good situation. So there's risk to weigh. I think the upside of winning a championship or keeping Revis long term counterbalances the risk of having a 2nd round pick potentially burned.
The Sherman / Revis dynamic
It's hard to tell how Revis and Sherman would coexist as teammates. I think they'd make up pretty quickly, as Sherman is really more of a joker than a jerk and Revis certainly didn't seem to be holding any grudges during his interview with Sherman teammate Michael Robinson.
It would be a really interesting competition dynamic to be sure, with both players competing for interceptions and big plays. I have to wonder if that very reason might be why Seattle was "highly interested" in Revis at the dawn of the trade talks. You know our coach loves competition, and a Revis-Sherman competition would be among the most epic in the history of the sport.
Having Revis on the field means more passes than usual will target Sherman, and vice versa. I think it would probably be a good thing forcing quarterbacks to throw more passes in Sherman's direction, as well as Revis'. The passer rating on passes targeting Sherman and Revis are absurdly low. Combine that with Browner/Thurmond covering the number three and four options, and you are looking at a secondary for the ages.
So here is where I think a trade begins to make sense for Seattle
Seattle trades a conditional 2014 pick. If Revis gets re-signed and remains with the Seahawks beyond the 2013 season, the Jets receive our 2014 1st round pick. If Revis signs with another team in free agency, the Jets receive a 2014 2nd round pick instead. If Revis proves his worth and signs an extension to remain here, he is easily worth a 1st round pick and the money we pay him, especially since that 1st round pick will probably be a very late one.
And before anyone flips out of the mythical value of a 1st round pick, consider the options Seattle had in the late first back in 2011, 2008, 2006, 2005, and 2004. Those picks turned into James Carpenter, Lawrence Jackson, Kelly Jennings, Chris Spencer, and Marcus Tubbs. You look at the late 1st round most years and it's not nearly as good as you might imagine. It's hardly a lock to get a star. Although I do love the late 1st this year, but that's beside the point and trust me, this year is pretty uncommon in it's depth.
And while I'm sure people are sick of hearing this, it's possible that the Jets could have a degree of interest in Matt Flynn as competition for Mark Sanchez and that could have a minor impact on the trade details as well.
Maybe the Jets get a better offer elsewhere. I am not saying that we must trade for Revis at all costs. But I think if an offer like this is possible, at this type of risk/reward, the balance of the deal becomes one worth making.

The School of the Osage is wasting little time in getting started on renovation of the Heritage Building for new elementary classrooms and administration offices.
The School of the Osage is wasting little time in getting started on renovation of the Heritage Building for new elementary classrooms and administration offices.
Board members decided Monday night to set a groundbreaking for 2 p.m. Thursday, May 23, the final school day of the year. And by June 1, the Heritage Building should be empty so construction can begin. Only maintenance personnel will remain in the building.
"We had hoped to keep services and programs in place longer, but because of the aggressiveness of the schedule we'll move out except for some maintenance in the basement," Assistant Superintendent Tony Hermann said.
Representatives from Ittner Architects of St. Louis and S.M. Wilson, the construction manager updated the board. Gary Wille from SM Wilson and JC Reardon from Ittner said the renovated facility should be ready for the 2014-15 school year. Although the construction schedule is relatively tight, time has been allowed for weather and materials delays.
"We're moving quickly," Hermann, who is coordinating the project, said.
A pre-bid conference will be held at 1 p.m. April 30 at the Heritage Building. Bids will be due at 2 p.m. May 9, also at the Heritage Building, and bid opening should take place during the regular May 20 meeting.
Superintendent Brent Depeé said a plan is in the works for Heritage Building classes and staff during the construction.
Preschool will move to the Upper Elementary on Highway 42 and use classroom space formerly occupied by the grade until construction is complete. Transportation will temporarily relocate to the other bus barn facility on School House Road. A permanent bus barn site has not yet been finalized.
Central Office administration has not finalized office space for next year.
Thank yous
Don Steen, bond issue campaign committee chairman, also spoke to the board about the accomplishment of the committee.
"I can't say enough about the committee's work," he said. "They made this issue their own. The people on the committee made it happen."
Final vote totals gave the issue a 61 percent approval rating, less than 4 percent over the 57.25 super majority required for approval.
"I'm pleased with that, grateful with that," Steen said, noting the anti-tax sentiment of most people.
The only precinct within the school district to turn it down was Brumley by a 2-to-1 margin. Steen speculated that residents in that area would have preferred a location near the Middle School-High School-Upper Elementary campus.
The issue, the plan
The $22 million bond issue addresses pre-k to second grade overcrowding at the Mills Elementary School, security improvements to existing schools and updating of the high school science labs.
The district's bond levy will increase from $2.72 per $100 of assessed valuation to $2.849, a 12.9-cent increase. The Osage levy will still be among the lowest in the state, and less than area school districts.
The rates in nearby communities are Camdenton $2.87, Eldon $3.54 and Iberia $3.65.
The project calls for a 24-classroom elementary school addition to the Heritage Building, as well as renovations and improvements to the existing Heritage Building and campus. The elementary school addition will increase the number and size of classrooms and provide technology needed for current teaching methods. Construction plans include elevator and ADA access, and energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling. The Heritage campus will benefit with improved parent and bus drop-off and pickup, increased and improved parking and improved security and safety measures.

Hostess shuttering local operations
Montville — The rumble of delivery trucks at the Hostess Brands Inc. distribution site on Route 32 in Uncasville fell silent Friday afternoon as the 38 employees there and at a thrift store in Norwich received notice that the company would be winding down operations nationwide.
The shuttering of Hostess facilities will lead to about 18,500 lost jobs across the country, nearly 200 of them in Connecticut. Hostess said thrift stores locally likely would be open for a few more days as the company sells off the last of the baked goods on hand.
Hostess — maker of Twinkies, Wonder Bread and Drake's cakes, among other products — said that it had been trying to work out a way to save the company but a crippling strike by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union forced them to abandon plans to reorganize in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," said Gregory F. Rayburn, chief executive officer of the company, in a statement. "Hostess Brands will ... focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders."
Local delivery-route sales representatives for the company, who generally hit the road before dawn, said they didn't hear about Hostess's decision to end the firm's more than 80-year run until they tuned into radio reports between deliveries.
For 50-year-old Bryan Handy, known as "the Mayor of Westerly" to customers along his regular Mystic-to-Westerly route delivering Hostess products, the failure of one of America's iconic brands was simply a matter of investors trying to squeeze more money out of a business than it was able to deliver.
"It's just tough when you let a hedge fund run a company they did not know how to run," said Handy. A member of Teamsters Local 493 who has two adult children living at home in Uncasville, he said as he removed trash from trucks lining the parking lot.
Handy's employment with Hostess ended 25 years to the day after he started in the baked-goods delivery business.
"I loved it," he said. "I enjoyed meeting the customers."
For 36-year-old Rob Morano of Griswold, who has two young children and spent six years with Hostess, losing his job just before the holidays was particularly regrettable.
"It's just awful that my job was in the hands of another union," Morano said. "I had nothing to do with it."
The Teamsters union had approved a proposed contract with Hostess that would have lowered employees' pay and increased their contributions to health-care benefits. Hostess said the agreement also would have given employees a 25 percent stake in the company, but the bakers union refused to come to the bargaining table and instead launched a strike that closed three major facilities.
Handy said the new contract would have lowered his base pay from $41,000 a year to $33,000, but at least it would have protected his job. A few years ago, Handy said he made in the mid-$50,000 range, but concessions in 2005 and 2008 — during Hostess' two previous bankruptcies — has steadily whittled into his income.
Bruce Duchesneau of Montville, district manager at the Uncasville facility who has been with Hostess 26 years, said that in addition to affecting sales representatives and thrift-store personnel, the closure locally will mean lost jobs for people in the shipping and warehouse departments, as well as mechanics who keep machinery up and running.
Duchesneau said his employees worked hard, some of them for nearly 30 years, and the company tried its best to be open with them about the possibility that business problems would lead to a closure.
"To put blame (on anyone) at this point does not change what happened," he said.
Hostess said the wind down of operations will mean the closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers and 570 outlet stores throughout the country. The company has been fighting to stay competitive in a market that has been slowly moving away from sugary snack foods and in a field that largely lacks union employees.
But a representative of the Texas-based company, which owns brands that date as far back as 1888, told The Associated Press that it expects to be able to spin off several of its 30 product lines, which include Dolly Madison, Nature's Pride, Ho Hos, Suzy Q's, Donettes and Ding Dongs. Hostess products likely will remain on store shelves for another week or so, the company said.
Meanwhile, a liquidation hearing is expected Monday before a bankruptcy judge in Texas.
