Perfection Uniforms Relocates to a New, Larger Location
Brentwood, TN – Perfection Uniforms, previously headquartered in Brentwood, TN, has moved to a brand new facility at 119 Seaboard Lane, Suite 114, in Franklin, TN. The new location boasts 40% more space for offices and warehousing and will better serve both employees and customers.
Perfection Uniforms is a relatively young company and known as the leading innovative uniform manufacturer. Since opening its doors in May 2002, Perfection has received numerous accolades both in and out of the uniform industry, winning various UNIVATOR Awards and appearing in prestigious publications such as Apparel magazine, MadeToMeasure, Monocle, and BusinessTN.
In August 2010, the company celebrated new ownership, as it was acquired by SteveCo (a holding company controlled by Steven D. Olesky and Steven M. Gilkeson).
"This relocation is one more opportunity that enables us to realize our full potential," says Olesky.
Gilkeson adds, "We've been carefully expanding our product line to meet our customers' needs. Having more space will accommodate our continued growth."
Although Perfection Uniforms specializes primarily in public safety garments, the company has recently started to outfit departments of natural resources, transit companies, and other types of agencies. In 2009, they unveiled eco-responsible uniforms— presenting an unprecedented choice to environmentally conscious agencies such as Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Perfection encourages individuals to try their garments through a complimentary agency wear test program. If you are interested in securing a wear test for your department, please call Mark Hendershot, Business Development Manager, at 615-788-9967.
About Perfection Uniforms
Perfection Uniforms is one of the fastest growing uniform companies in the U.S. and Canada. The company is represented exclusively by a team of sales representatives and through a select network of valued dealers.

Green Your Workspace
In addition to trying to live greener at home, many of us are trying to make our offices more environmentally friendly as well. From recycling to shutting off the lights at the end of the day, there are many ways to limit our carbon footprint. NSF's sustainability office has put together a top ten list of tips to help make our offices a greener place to work.
- Buy local. Give preference to locally manufactured supplies. Not only will you be supporting other local businesses, but fewer natural resources will be used to transport the products to your workplace.
- Pack lighter when traveling. An extra 10 pounds per traveler requires 350 million more gallons of jet fuel per year.
- Dispose of the disposables. Limit the use of disposable cups at your workplace and instead provide washable mugs and glasses. If you take your lunch to the office, pack it in a washable container instead of paper or plastic bags that aren't designed for re-use.
- Avoid hidden power usage. While essential to conduct business, today's electronic office equipment is a huge energy draw. Leaving nonessential office equipment on 24/7 can result in hundreds of extra kilowatts of electricity usage each year. Shut off non-essential equipment at the end of each day.
- Create a greener office environment. Choose greener materials by selecting commercial flooring and wall coverings certified to new sustainability standards, including NSF/ANSI 140 (carpet), NSF/ANSI 332 (resilient flooring) and NSF/ANSI 342 (wall coverings).
- Use natural light wisely. Maximize the use of natural light in your office by placing private offices in the interior areas.
- Choose greener furniture. If your office is replacing any office furniture and indoor air quality is a concern, consider purchasing furniture certified to meet ANSI/BIFMA X7.1, which limits VOC (volatile organic chemical) emissions from office furniture.
- Replace standalone copiers and printers with a multipurpose unit. Today's copiers not only copy, but most can print, scan and fax. A single multipurpose copier typically uses half the energy of individual fax machines, printers and copiers.
- Go paperless. Publish and distribute documents electronically whenever possible. Post your publications on your company's website for viewing and download. If reports or newsletters mush be published in hard copy, print on both sides of the paper, use single spacing, and choose paper that has the maximum post-consumer content available. Keep in mind that the greenest paper is no paper at all.
- Buy ENERGY STAR qualified office equipment. ENERGY STAR computers, printers and other business machines are designed to power down when not in use, making them 50 percent more efficient.

D-Day, June 6, 1944: "The invasion has begun."
On the eve of D-Day, June 6, 1944: Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower issued a statement to his Allied troops, "You are about to embark on a great crusade. The eyes of the world are upon you and the hopes and prayers of all liberty loving peoples go with you… Your task will not be an easy one… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle… Good luck and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
With that, the great Allied invasion of Europe began 70 years ago in Normandy, France. Operation Overlord was the largest amphibious military action ever attempted. The armada comprised of 5,000 vessels and 11,000 airplanes ferried 150,000 service men across the English Channel. Nine battleships, 23 cruisers, 104 destroyers and 71 large landing craft were further assisted by minesweepers, merchantmen, troop transports and other small craft.
Extensive planning ensured an element of surprise. Allied naval and air support took its toll on German defenses. Bridges bombed by the Allies forced the Nazis to take long detours to engage the invaders.
But what awaited Allied landing forces were beaches strewn with obstacles meant to stall and kill.
This photo, beach unnamed, shows the extent of Nazi defenses on the shore. As Eisenhower later described it, "Since the Germans had filled the beaches with terrible obstacles, steel traps of every kind and had mined them to make them even more difficult to remove, we had to have low water, low tide that would give us time to clear the obstacles or at least pile through them so our landing craft could come in."
Soon after the beaches were stormed by Allied troops, the supply ships moved in to off-load arms, medical supplies, food, vehicles and equipment.
Operation Overlord did not go exactly to plan, of course, but was considered a success, gaining the Allied Forces a foothold in northern Europe. The losses were tremendous, with 9,000 Allied troops wounded or killed in the invasion of the heavily fortified beaches. In the photo below, American troops whose landing craft was sunk help a comrade to the shore.
In the photo above, taken in the weeks after D-Day, Allied invasion leaders are shown in France together for the first time. General Sir Bernard Montgomery, center, commanding The 21st Army Group, which was composed of the U.S. First Army under command of Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley (left), and the British Second Army, under command of Lt. Gen. M.C. Dempsey, on right. Associated Press Photo

Move Over, Jetsons
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 27, 2008
Prefab, manufactured, modular homes. What do these words make you think of? Ultramodern Buckminster Fuller spaceship like dwelling solutions for ultramodern people, and shiny, hard surfaces—a far cry from living in cooperation with nature. Trailer parks even come to mind when I think of modular homes, complete with plastic flamingos and rainbow whirligigs. The first manufactured homes came out in the Gold Rush era in California, when many buildings were needed in a hurry and these were constructed on-site from kits. They provided quick and dirty housing, and architecture was not an issue. Today, "prefab" is gaining a new reputation with not only cutting-edge architecture, but environmentally sustainable designs, from manufacture to end use. The financial upsides of prefab dwellings over site-built are many. The materials savings in the factory are far better for factory-built homes than for site-built. Whereas cutoffs on-site end up in the job site dumpster, cutoffs in the factory can be reused for the next project, and prefab houses can be designed to limit this waste. Since factory-built houses take less time to assemble, less of the land's mortgage price is spent on the owners not living there. There are ...

GG Best Hair: Angelina Jolie
An easy knot like this is so underrated. And it doesn't need to look like this. Angelina's isn't perfect, and this is a good thing. It could have very well been swept off off her face and neck, looped around an elastic a few times, and done. If you have long hair, like, me, this takes all of 10 seconds. I liked the plainness of it. I liked that you could see a few strands loose. That it wasn't plastered tight against her head, pulling back her eyebrows. Rather, all of it held back was just a curtain reveal to that crazy ass face.
God, can you believe this face?
Only this face and those lips made that dress tolerable. On anyone else you'd be sh-tting on it otherwise. Duana said something to me when we were struggling to get going on writing tonight - don't think the Jolie doesn't f-ck around like this to make a point: I'm so beautiful, only I can make WHITE AND RED not completely atrocious.
You just realised that, didn't you?
Break it down and that's what this is: WHITE AND RED at an awards show. But because she's the one wearing it, wearing it with that insanely beautiful face, the white and red, it doesn't bother you so much. That's Angelina Jolie.
Not nearly enough cutaways of them though. If it were me directing the show, we would cut to them at least once in every block. I spoke to several people inside the ballroom after the event wrapped; they all confirmed Brange went heavy with the porn during breaks. At one point, after a kiss, he held on to her bottom lip with both of his for an extra beat or two before letting go. HOT, right??? WHY AREN'T WE SEEING THIS? How many times do we have to look at Mr Scorsese? Mr Scorsese is an excellent movie director. This is why he's BEHIND the camera.
By the way, E! cameras shot both Brad and Angelina smoking after the show ended. I'm telling you, the smoking balcony needs its own camera. Yes, yes. It would appear the Jolie not only doesn't mind Brad's smoking, she also joins in.

Snap peas, violas and other garden survivors of Colorado's spring blizzards
Lots of gardeners got heartbroken by April's blasts of snow and cold weather. How the fruit harvests will fare remains to be seen. In my own garden, there is reason to rejoice. Violas, above, got flattened by the spring blizzards, especially that nasty slap on May 1. But by Friday, they were showing their irrepressible little faces again.

Let's take a look today at the role of Saturn...
* When Saturn entered the sign of Sagittarius, in December 2014, just weeks later the Charlie Hebdo attacks occurred in France and twelve people were murdered. This event in many ways announced the entrance of Saturn into the sign of Sagittarius.
* Remember that Sagittarius is the domicile of Jupiter, which is the traditional planetary contrary to Mercury. Whereas Jupiter claims victory through belief statements, Mercury was once called "the master of arguments." In the sign of Sagittarius Mercury is thus said to be in its "detriment." Forget for a moment the aversion we might feel around the word "detriment." The simplest way to understand the classical dignities is in terms of different kinds of archetypal tensions and agreements, or various interpenetrating dynamics between the planets. A Jupiter ruled sign (Pisces/Sagittarius) is by its very nature a place where Mercury ruled things do not find themselves as comfortable as they would in their own home signs, and this is specifically because Jupiter works so much better through its convictions, beliefs, doctrines, and dogmas, than Mercury, who works best through analysis, deconstruction, critical thinking, investigation, and constant questioning.
* Now, put Saturn into Jupiter's sign and we get the zealous and severe version of Jupiter's qualities. We get the rigid, hard, intensely committed, and most conservative of Jupiter's belief statements. We get the old (Saturn) acting as the new (Jupiter's domicile). Think for a moment of the two fountainheads of populism in the US over the last few years, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. They couldn't be more different from one another, and yet they are both fiery, old men with intensely committed, and focused beliefs or behaviors. Beliefs or behaviors they stubbornly refuse to compromise.
* It is thus no surprise to see a variety of attacks being directed toward the media. First we have an Orwellian style announcement claiming the validity of "alternative facts," which is often nothing more than beliefs and the strength of ideology overriding actual, basic facts. Along with this we have seen a massive surge of "fake news" stories circulating around the web each day, alongside of the "real news" constantly being attacked and called "fake news." Additionally, we have seen the rise of populist criticism toward the media for choosing to support or not support its own biases, candidates, and spin, but at the same time we've seen networks like CNN, a network that always predictably contains debate style formats between the right and left, being constantly criticized for "faux objectivity." Add to this that many people are calling on the media to be the spearhead of the resistance and to aim their journalistic inquiries toward discovering the truth that might defend or save our constitution, democracy, or human rights.
* So on the one hand, the media has to fight off the influence of zealous ideology, both from within and without, but on the other hand the media has to become the weapon of truth, fighting against corruption, again both from within and without.
* Here's just a few obvious examples of the dynamics above...Kelly Anne Conway advertising Ivanka Trump's clothing line on air, trying to legitimize alternative facts, the constant attacks against the media from Trump and Spicer, the Fox news sexual harassment scandal, Meghan Kelly and Trump, the media giving Trump more air time than ever, the media crowning Clinton, the objective polls being totally off, the influence of disinformation and propaganda in the election, any media outlets whose information we don't like being called 'fake,' the FBI's involvement in the election, leaks, leaks, and more leaks of information, news channels being more partisan than objective, news channels becoming a force of resistance or opposition, comedy and satire being a weapon against disinformation...and...let's not forget the constant use of Twitter....
To conclude, it's important as students of astrology that we recognize that when Saturn is in the fiery sign of Jupiter there is a rigidifying of Jupiter ruled things along with a tightening of the natural tension that a Jupiter ruled sign already has with Mercury's significations. This tension is a creative tension and may actually produce incredible syntheses related to the Jupiter/Mercury dynamic, but it can also provoke tremendous polarization between the two archetypal fields in general.
For each of us personally it's an important time to really work toward objectivity, critical thinking, and rational distance, while also holding the equal and opposite tension of our most passionate commitments and beliefs. This is a time where we can each learn the value of holding these tensions with dignity and integrity.
Astro nerd note anticipating the dozen emails I will get later: It's also worth mentioning that we could easily add Saturn's square to Neptune into all of the above, helping us reach many of the same archetypal conclusions or combinations. As usual, it's my belief that the sky finds many ways to say the same things, and today's post is just one way of turning the jewel of the heavens in order to reflect upon what's happening!
Prayer: Help us hold the tension between rational distance and our most passionate convictions.

Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel have revealed their secret to making their sex scenes as real as possible in comedy Sex Tape.
The pair star in the upcoming movie as a couple with kids who make a sex tape to try and spice up their relationship. But when they accidentally leak it online they must race to stop all their friends, family and work colleagues from watching it.
Jason told Entertainment Weekly of the sex scenes: "I think we were really kind of spur of the moment with it.
"What was really amazing about doing it with Cameron is I think she and I come from a similar place when it comes to comedy. We don't have a tremendous sense of pride or shame.
"It was really like doing it with a buddy, which was cool. And the thing about the sex tape, they need to be embarrassed that it gets out... we really didn't want it to be sensual or sexy."
Cameron added: "You wanted it to be kind of ridiculous, and absurd and humiliating."
And the Something About Mary star revealed they may have accidentally ended up inventing some crazy new sex positions during their improvisation.
Cameron said: "We kind of made s*** up as we went along."
Jason added: "I know this will shock your readers, but it turns out there's a finite number of ways my body's able to move."

YouTube is kinda popular. How popular? We put 48 hours of video onto it every minute. Yikes. That's a lot of cats playing with alligators, Middle East protests, and people covering Kanye on the ukelele.
The staggering statistic marks a 100 per cent increase over this time last year, and a 13-hour increase from just November of last year. Another minor tidbit? Three billion YouTube vids are watched every day. That's almost half the planet's population. This internet video thing - I think it's catching on! [YouTube]

Chewed Stealth Boy, Oh, Baby!
At the far western reaches of the map, there's a settlement called Jacobstown. Jacobstown is a bit of an anomaly in the Mojave Wasteland, since it's a town run and occupied almost entirely by Super Mutants and Nightkin. Getting to Jacobstown is actually fairly annoying, since you'll have to follow a wandering road through the mountains in order to reach it. But once you do, head forward through the settlement towards the gigantic building towards the back. Within, head right on the first floor to find the town's only non-Super Mutant/Nightkin residents, a human named Dr. Henry and his lab assistant, a Ghoul named Calamity. You can speak to Dr. Henry about all sorts of issues, but ultimately, you'll find out that he's here working on the solution to a problem that's been plaguing the residents of Jacobstown, and indeed Super Mutants and (especially) Nightkin around the Wasteland.
The chronic use of Stealth Boys by the Nightkin community has created a sort of sickness that's endemic with most of their kind. Dr. Henry wants to get to the bottom of what's going on with the Nightkin, and he suspects that the source of the sickness -- and more importantly, the solution therein -- rests with the Nightstalker population that inhabits a cave to the north of town. Dr. Henry requests that you go to the cave to investigate things there, and you should oblige. Be sure to take him up on his optional request, too, to bring the Nightkin named Lily there with you. You'll need to clear space for her in your group of followers (if you have two with you, that is). You can find her outside; just follow your compass instructions. A good combination of followers to bring with you for the duration of this side quest is Lily and Rex, since they both specialize in melee, close-quarters combat.
Once you've acquired Lily, it's time to find an entrance to the cave in question. The cave, named Charleston Cave, is clearly marked on your map, but you can't take a straight northerly route there. Instead, you'll need to leave the confines of Jacobstown. Once you're on the outside of the wooden stakes surrounding the town (as a sort of makeshift fence), simply meander your way northward towards the mountains. You'll run into the non-descript cave entrance before long (there should be a random heart painted on a rock in front of the entrance). Once you're there, there's nothing left to do but to enter. Just be prepared for a lot of fighting when you do. Getting through the Charleston Cave is no picnic. Quite the opposite, actually.
As you may have expected, Charleston Cave is full of Nightstalkers. You've never run into these creatures before (most likely), but rest assured, they're difficult little creatures to defeat. That's why we wanted you to have melee-ready followers like Rex and Lily here to help you. Nightstalkers are dog-like creatures that move quickly. They all use Stealth Boys (inadvertently), so you'll only hear them coming at you, and won't immediately see them until they take enough damage to be revealed. It's actually a good idea to explore this whole cave system (which isn't too big, and not at all maze-like), since killing Nightstalkers is a nice way to earn some experience points. Just be ready to heal yourself, especially if you're of a lower level, since Nightstalkers have the ability to do a hell of a lot of damage rather rapidly.
What you're looking for in the Charleston Cave as you explore and do battle is a room with a Nightkin body lying in it. It should be in the far side of the system, on the other side of some water that you have to wade through, in a room occupied by several Nightstalkers. If you examine this Nightkin's body, you'll uncover exactly what you were looking for -- a Chewed Stealth Boy. Right next to the Nightkin is his weapon, called Oh, Baby!. You may not want to use it, but it's extremely valuable, so it won't hurt you to grab it and bring it with you to sell later. Once you have those items in hand, and feel like you've seen enough of the cave, you can head back to the entrance, and then quick-travel back to Jacobstown. Once you arrive, speak with Dr. Henry and let him know that you've found an important clue.
It's at this point in the side quest, near the end, where things can take a bunch of different turns. How we proceeded isn't necessarily how you have to go about things, so keep that in mind moving forward. You need high Speech and Science skills to fully explore other avenues, but since we didn't, we kept it simple. After giving Dr. Herny the Chewed Stealth Boy, we opted to let him use Lily to run a new experiment (you'll need to speak with her to convince her to do so, however). Dr. Henry learns what he can from the experiment, and eventually, Lily is sent off, hopeful that her hard work and involvement in the new experiment might bring Dr. Henry closer to finding a cure.
But just as Lily runs off, a Nightkin named Keene runs in. Keene is decidedly more angry and hostile than Lily, and demands that Dr. Henry hands over the Chewed Stealth Boy. With very, very high Speech, you can convince him to go away, but otherwise, you're going to be forced to either fight and kill him and his friends, or simply let him take the Stealth Boy and run off. We opted to do the latter. This doesn't stop Dr. Henry from deriving important information from the experiment he's already run, and it ensures that nobody gets hurt. Once this end sequence has run its course, that's it. This side quest should conclude in victory (and a plethora of experience points, too).

CIO… the Mountain West ConferencePosted by AMurawa on December 4th, 2012
Andrew Murawa is the RTC correspondent for the Mountain West Conference.
Mountain West Round-Up
- It was a big week for the conference, with the Big Three (New Mexico, San Diego State and UNLV) each further establishing their credentials, Colorado State pushing for recognition in the national polls, and Boise State and Wyoming each knocking off nationally-ranked teams and displaying the depth of the conference. Through three weeks and change of the season, the conference as a whole has a record of 53-11 (best record for a conference in the nation) and has firmly established itself as not only clearly the best conference outside of the traditional power conferences (and I mean clearly – it ain't even close), but also likely the best conference in the west – again – surpassing the Pac-12 for at least the third consecutive season. It is early and there is a ton of basketball still to be played, but projecting way into the future, the MW looks like a lock to get four teams into the NCAA Tournament and, if the Cowboys and Broncos continue their push, could find a way to sneak a fifth and, if absolutely everything happens to fall perfectly, a sixth into the conversation. But, again, we're getting far ahead of ourselves and will more reasonably reprise this conversation sometime around the end of January.
- The other big story around the conference, and one that I skipped over last week out of fatigue with the whole story line, is the effect of continued conference realignment on the future of the conference. The expectation has been that beginning next season, San Diego State and Boise State will leave in order to play football in the Big East and the rest of its sports in the Big West (yeah, I'll go ahead and call the whole thing stupid, regardless of the economics behind it). But, with the long, slow and painful dissolution of the Big East as a nationally-relevant football conference now in the terminal stages, there remains a possibility that SDSU and BSU will reconsider and remain in the Mountain West in all sports. Both schools deny any change of heart, and the fact that the MW television contract still won't net these schools as much money as what the Big East can promise puts the odds in favor of their departure, but the athletic departments at both schools have to weigh the possibility of more defections from their new conference and the possibility of a football league that is similar in strength to the league they would be leaving. Are games against Memphis, Temple and SMU, for instance, really all that preferable to games against Colorado State, Nevada and Fresno State? The final answer remains to be seen, but at least the potential of keeping the league together remains.
Reader's Take
Team of the Week
Boise State – There are several potential winners here this week, but the finalists came down to the Broncos and Wyoming. Rather than cop out and name co-winners, I made the hard choice and opted to give Boise the nod on the strength of a pair of road wins, including a win over a Top 25 Creighton team that could end up being the deciding game in the Mountain West/Missouri Valley Challenge (the MW currently leads 4-3 with a pair of relatively even games remaining). The win in Omaha was highlighted by our MW Player of the Week (who you'll see below), but was really a complete team effort, with the Broncos dominating the Bluejays on the glass, running up a 70.8% eFG and generally playing with poise while limiting good looks for Player of the Year candidate Doug McDermott. And, the fact that BSU avoided an obvious letdown situation and came back four nights later to knock off Seattle on the road is more proof that this team has grown up in a hurry.
Player of the Week
Derrick Marks, Sophomore, Boise State – Marks was the key cog in the Broncos' upset of Creighton Wednesday night, repeatedly exposing a Bluejay defense with plenty of doubters. Marks repeatedly beat his defender off the bounce, got into the lane and scored in a variety of ways, at one point in the middle of the second half, scoring 18 straight points for his team as they pulled away from the home team. All told he scored 28 points in the second half and carried his team home with a total of 35 on the night. Marks followed up that game with a 14-point six-steal effort against Seattle and wound up shooting at 76.9 eFG% for the week.

Hi all! I'd like to take a moment to fill you in on what's going on behind the scenes:
Some years back, the forum was hit hard by spammers and I had to turn off many useful features. It was only that the forum was repaired by way of a major makeover. One of the changes was that newly registered users' posts are moderated before being made public. There are a few volunteer moderators but the moderator log shows that I'm the only one doing any moderating. I don't mind; traffic is fairly low. But it does mean that new users might be a little frustrated because I don't check in every day, although I try.
Among all the new posts to be moderated, maybe a quarter is still spam; the rest is good. As users, you're not seeing that spam, so the impact on the site is very low. This is a great benefit because it means we're winning the spam war now! But if the number of spam user registrations, and their posts, increase much then the good content will be drowned out and the moderation work becomes hard. If that happens, I'll have to reach out to those of you who have read this far! You could become moderators too and help approve or reject new contributions.
If anybody wants to participate now, let me know. It'll be highly appreciated!

In 2004, the World Bank Group concluded a multi-stakeholder review of its support for extractive industries in the fight against poverty. The Bank had commissioned three independent reviews. All three reports concluded that extractive industries can contribute to poverty reduction if done right and that World Bank Group involvement can positively influence industry standards.
The Bank Group's management responded to the three independent reports' recommendations with reforms to better ensure that projects contribute to sustainable development.
The World Bank's oversight body, the Board of Executive Directors consisting of representatives for all member countries, asked the World Bank to continue investments in oil and coal as they are critical for many developing countries. One independent report had recommended terminating support for such projects over time.

sorry, dmorg, that was wrong of speedy. He just forgot about it. , but when he first saw it, he just had nothing, then just now it was like he had waited his whole life to say that sentence and now the timing was just right.
Thanks for the props on the family unit. Hell, we don't have to hitch up our chid drens to do that, speedy could just lose a bet or something.
That scenario has the makings of a good corrupt a wish.

Skating has always been a great release/escape for me.
I took on the role of caretaker at a VERY young age...so it became the one thing that allowed me to just "be a kid" for awhile.
I returned to this passion of my youth after a near 20 year absence -- because I needed that healthy sense of release again.
But don't get me wrong, that's not the only reason I skate. I absolutely LOVE the creativity, and God knows I need the exercise! -- I get very absorbed in my creative work and have been known to skip a few nights of sleep to meet a deadline. So it takes a powerful motivating force to "step away from the computer".
It's great that skating can engage the mind, challenge the body, and lift the spirit, all while allowing for creativity and self-expression. I can't think of one other activity that is that satisfying. (Well maybe one. )
I would probably be considered an "old school roller dancer", although I hate labels.
Any-hoooo, I enjoy the urban freestyle flava' of skating, as opposed to the structured artistic version. I guess I feel that way about art in general - the more organic, natural and raw the better. But that's just my preference, I'm not knockin' anyone else's.
Roll On!
P.S. - This is me and a very talented friend of mine skating. (The graphics are totally tongue and cheek, btw.)

I'm originally from Oxford in Chenango County (which I am sure you're familiar with). I now live in NJ, but travel back up to upstate NY every couple months or so. My husband and I are going to be in the area over the Thanksgiving holiday and are hoping to do some training at the rink in Oneonta. Hope to cross paths with you at some point. We're inline speedskaters and would always love to meet other skate enthusiasts!

Greetings Skate Log Forum!
My husband and I have both been "passive" readers of this forum for a while. To introduce ourselves, I am a Novice inline speedskater and my husband, Kevin, is a pro Veteran inline speedskater. I started skating on inlines recreationally in about 1998. I skated my first race in 2001, a half marathon in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY (one of the "lesser" races of the NYC 100k event). Shortly after that, I started skating indoors and met my husband Kevin, who was a sponsered Pro Master skater for EC Beast/Verducci. I skated off and on indoors for several years, while skating some outdoor races. I haved skated local outdoor races, and managed a great finish in the half marathon at Disney in 2004 (finished first in my age group). I started competing indoors in 2005 and went to Indoor National Championships in 2006. I continue to compete and train indoors and outdoors. Indoors, I am a member of the Fast Forward Inline Speedskating Team, www.ffwdskating.com, which has branches in NJ and PA, and outdoors, I am a member of Redline Speed, which has members in both the NE, as well as Florida, www.redlinespeed.com. My husband was previously a sponsered skater on Redline, but is now a sponsered skater on Tru Rev.
We both love to skate and train, and look forward to contributing to this forum.

Great EXERCISE for life
New to this forum, but have been skating since I was 5, can hardly remember that far back. I'm from MPLS-MN, been skating in the Roller gardens for 50 years. Worked for NWB, ATT, USWEST, and Uhg!! QWEST, until they laid me off, after 35 years. So, I retired at 60. Can't believe that was over 2 years ago.
I love skating, skiing, and Motocross, just wish I could do all three as well as I can skate. Skating has kepted me in shape for everything else I like to do.
Just put the MX bike away, cause it got cold here, high of 20 degrees to day.
Took up blading for the out-doors at 57, but there so slow indoors, or maybe I just have to work to hard on those soft 85a wheels, compared to the 101a bones I skate on. "Go fast or go home" I love having 4 adult sessions to pick from at my rink, 18 and over and 25 and over. Of the kids I skated with 20 years ago, many are still skating, it's great. Got to get my busy daughter out again, and the grand-kids can leave me behind on there ice skates, with all the hockey they play. but I still can give them a run on roller skates.

Welcome aboard, MXspeed, and great bio!
But you are not the oldest on this board by a long shot.
For the last couple of years i trained with an indoor speed team in which the average age was about fifty or so, and some skaters were in the sixties, and competing regularly in races.
So, glad you spoke up and let us know that this sport can be enjoyed for years.
Hope you find some like-minded skate enthusiasts here, and always remember to wear protection.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how badly the mainstream media and punditry class had miscalculated the public reaction to the Obamacare contraceptives policy. You'll recall that the national news media originally declared that President Obama was getting slaughtered due to the "controversy" and "firestorm" he had caused by proposing to provide contraception to women.
Then polls showed that the issue had actually helped expand a gender gap in favor of Obama.
A few days ago, a similar cycle started again, although this one didn't even have anything to do with Obama or an Obama policy. It all started with lefty pundit Hilary Rosen's comment that Ann Romney had never worked a day in her life, forgetting three important words "outside the home."
Reporters and pundits immediately became aroused. Forget that Rosen isn't Obama. Forget that Rosen doesn't speak for Obama, or work for him. Forget that most people know what Rosen presumably meant – that millionaire stay-at-home moms don't have much in common with non-millionaire working moms — and that is an absolutely fair and relevant point. Once again, the national news media and pundits declared that Obama had a huge political problem on his hands that was crippling him with lovers of motherhood everywhere.
U.S. News blared the headline "Damage Already Done By Rosen's Ann Romney Comment," relying on conservative pundit Frank Luntz, who assured us:
"What she said is an insult to millions of American women," Luntz told me, adding that even though Rosen apologized, the damage had already been done because many stay-at-home moms were offended.
CBS News went with the headline "Hilary Rosen flap a 'win in every regard' for GOP, says Nicole Wallace." It quotes the giddy conservative pundit explaining:
"Ann Romney was able to connect in an instant to every woman in the country, with every woman in the country" by defending her decision to raise five boys."
Talking Points Memo (TPM) even broke out The Suffix of Political Death, "-gate." I kid you not, they went with "Rosengate" in their headline.
Holy Cuban plumbers, a "-gate!?" Because a supportive pundit mangled her soundbite?
Despite all that hyperventilating about Rosen's comments and the dire consequences they supposedly had for Obama, today we're starting to see some polling on the issue. From the Examiner:
A new Reuters poll out Tuesday shows Obama with a comfortable 14-point lead on Mitt Romney among women likely to vote in November's general election, 51-to-37 percent. That split is more or less the same as a similar poll taken back in March that showed Obama with a 54-38 advantage.
A CNN poll out Monday offered similar numbers. The survey gave the president a 52-to-43 percent lead over Mitt Romney among registered voters, and also gave Obama a 16-point lead over Romney among women, 55-to-39 percent, almost as good as last month's 18 points.
Another interesting development in the survey: "Despite Republicans' efforts to portray themselves as the party of the family, Obama even had a big edge on family values among women, with 51 percent picking him as better on that issue compared with 36 percent for Romney."
In fact, the poll found women rating Obama stronger on all issues, including the economy, jobs, health care and foreign policy.
So, after all of that talking head drama, apparently what we actually have is Nobodygivesashitgate.

Unlocking and opening doors
Unlocking with the key
Unlocking with Porsche Entry & Drive (keyless)
Either door can be unlocked if you position yourself on the side of the vehicle (driver's side, passenger's side) that you wish to open together with the key.
The vehicle is locked automatically after 30 seconds if none of the doors or the luggage compartment is opened.
If the interior surveillance system and inclination sensor have been switched off (restricted antitheft protection), this also remains the case after automatic relocking.
As a result, the doors can be opened from inside by pulling the door opener.
When locked again, the interior surveillance system and inclination sensor are activated once more.
Switching off operational readiness (for vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive)
Operational readiness of Porsche Entry & Drive is switched off after 96 hours for the driver's door and after 36 hours for the passenger door if the vehicle is not unlocked within this time.
Side-selective door unlock function
When unlocking the vehicle, you can choose to unlock only the driver's door or also the passenger's door. You can unlock both doors irrespective of the selected setting.

With the fall of Communism and the newfound freedom of Eastern Europe, the Orthodox Church was met with new challenges and opportunities. It has become apparent that its history and its current reality are either unknown, extremely unfamiliar, or laden with clich?
The Orthodox Church , presented here in a newly revised edition, has become an indispensable classic on the history of the Orthodox Church and the unique position it holds in today's world. Fr Meyendorff reviews the great events and the principle stages in a history of nearly two thousand years, its diversity not only in Eastern and far-Eastern countries, but also in the West and in the whole world. He also presents the culture and spiritual tradition of Orthodoxy, its connection to other Christian churches, its religious activities in various communities and its position and actions in former Eastern communist countries. The postscript describes the new post-Communist situation of Orthodoxy.
Fr John Meyendorff, a longtime professor and dean of St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, died in 1992. Unanimously hailed at the time of its first publication in 1960, The Orthodox Church was reintroduced by him in the American edition of 1981. His corrections and additions are included in this most recent edition, which has been revised and expanded by Nicholas Lossky.
Includes an extensive index.

You'll see a little bit more of Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Expendables 2 than you did in the first film, but once The Last Stand rolls in next January, the whole screen belongs to the former Governor. We previously brought you the first image from the film, but now we're happy to share an official synopsis and poster. The actioner from director Ji-woon Kim stars Schwarzenegger as the aging sheriff of a border town, which happens to be the last hope of keeping a drug cartel leader from fleeing the country. The Last Stand, also starring Johnny Knoxville, Forest Whitaker, Eduardo Noriega, Rodrigo Santoro, Jaimie Alexander, Peter Stormare, Genesis Rodriguez and Zach Gilford, opens January 18th. Hit the jump for the official synopsis and poster.
The first poster for The Last Stand follows after the film's official synopsis. Look for a trailer later this week, or see it in theaters in front of The Expendables 2 this weekend:
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez' path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

RomePhotographs by William Klein
Availability: Out of stock
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Rome by photographer William Klein, Aperture is pleased to publish a revised edition of this classic, rare photobook in a two-volume slip-cased edition.
In 1956, a 28-year-old William Klein arrived in Rome to assist Federico Fellini on his film Nights of Cabiria (1957). When the start of filming was delayed, Klein spent his time strolling about the city with Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Alberto Moravia, and other avant-garde Italian writers and artists serving as his guides. It was on these walks that Rome, a radical and brilliant visual diary of the city, was born. First published in 1959, it features quirky extended captions interspersed with observations about the city by Stendhal, Michelet, Mark Twain, Henry James, and others.
This beautifully produced edition includes Klein's never-before-seen fashion pictures, along with new and updated text by the photographer. Now redesigned to encompass two volumes in a special slipcase, this new edition offers audiences another chance to celebrate this groundbreaking work. As Fellini said, "Rome is a movie, and Klein did it."
After graduating from university, WILLIAM KLEIN (born in New York, 1928) settled in Paris and became a painter. He returned to New York in 1954 and made a photographic logbook that was published two years later, winning him worldwide acclaim: Life Is Good & Good for You in New York (Prix Nadar, 1956). Later, he produced books dedicated to Tokyo, Moscow, and Paris. Painter, photographer, moviemaker, and graphic designer, Klein eludes all labels and categories.

They work and are worth putting in your spare kit if you are going to winter camp. I would be very leary of salt as an anti freeze but the pink stuff is at Walmart. Not tasty but not corrosive and safe if you drink some. That will freeze but shrinks when it does so nothing gets broken. I will be replacing plumbing in the spring to drain and separate the outside shower as that is a freeze point even when the unit is warm. ;-)

(CNN) — On any given day in the fall of 2007, John Edwards could be heard preaching his populist prose to Iowa voters who eagerly packed into lumber barns, VFW halls and Culver restaurants across the state.
His message was less about the two Americas of his 2004 campaign — the haves and the have-nots — and more about fighting for the middle class and ending poverty in America.
The Democratic candidate had spent nearly all of 2007 logging days in Iowa traveling across the state's 99 counties. He had every reason to believe he could be president. He felt the country would let then-Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama destroy each other and he would rise as the more experienced and safe nominee.
To many voters, Edwards could have been president of the United States. Five years later, the possibilities for Edwards are completely different.
Edwards' criminal trial begins Monday in Greensboro, North Carolina.
He is charged with six felony and misdemeanor counts related to the money dealings of his failed presidential campaign.
Among other things, the government alleges that Edwards "knowingly and willfully" received nearly $1 million in illegal campaign contributions to hide his pregnant mistress from the public so he could continue his presidential bid. Edwards acknowledges that while his actions were wrong, they were not illegal. He could face up to 30 years in prison.
Edwards met Rielle Hunter in early 2006 at bar at The Regency Hotel in New York City. Hunter approached Edwards, not believing it was him. Later that evening, Edwards and Hunter met again, privately. The man who consistently spoke about two Americas began living two lives.
Hunter describes herself as a filmmaker. Born Lisa Jo Druck, she is believed to be the inspiration of a party girl character in a Jay McInerny novel. The 40-something Rielle told Edwards that she could help his campaign. Edwards hired her to produce a few videos that would present the politician in a more relaxed manner. The videos were called "webisodes" and were posted to Edwards' campaign site.
In the first webisode, Edwards told Hunter on camera, "You train to be careful, to close off if it feels sensitive, to close off if it feels personal, and I have to tell myself, I'm trying hard to do it. But you know we're so conditioned. We're conditioned to say the same things … we're conditioned to be political. And it's hard to shed all of that. I can be in the middle of being what feels real and authentic to me, and I'll get into a little reel, you know, in my head. I can see it happening, and I have to pull myself back out."
The clip resurfaced later on YouTube.
In the end, four webisodes were made. However, instead of showing Edwards in a new light, the flirtatious on-camera banter only highlighted just how close Edwards and Hunter had become. Staffers began to suspect that Hunter had become more than a videographer to Edwards. That thought was fueled by Edwards' insistence that Hunter be allowed to travel with him whenever either of them insisted.
Josh Brumberger was Edwards' chief of staff when Hunter traveled with the campaign. On several occasions, he talked to Edwards about Hunter's involvement with the campaign. One heated altercation ended with Edwards firing Brumberger, and by the fall of 2006, several longtime senior aides left the campaign amid Edwards' refusal to end his relationship with Hunter, as detailed in "Game Change," the book about the 2008 election.
On December 28, 2006, against the backdrop of a city trying to rebuild and revive itself, Edwards launched his presidential campaign in New Orleans. He vowed to strengthen the middle class, progressively end poverty and tackle the longstanding Democratic platform of health care.
But just as the campaign got off the ground, it hit turbulence. In March 2007, Elizabeth Edwards announced she had breast cancer for the second time and it was incurable. The Edwardses wound up continuing the campaign. In the weeks after the devastating discovery, internal campaign polling showed Edwards surging ahead of Clinton and Obama in Iowa.
Meanwhile, when the campaign klieg lights were off, Edwards and Hunter were still on. Over the course of the summer, Hunter had become pregnant. And to complicate things, Edwards was swimming in a pool of bad press — he had received several $400 haircuts and had made a six-figure salary for working for a hedge fund that was linked to subprime lending and foreclosed homes.
Enter Rachel "Bunny" Mellon. The wealthy banking heiress and widow, who was once a close friend of Jacqueline Kennedy, had been a supporter of Edwards since the 2004 election. When she found out about the haircuts, she allegedly directed Andrew Young, Edwards' personal aide, to forward all bills to her.
In a note to Edwards received by Young, a person described in the indictment as Person C and believed to be Mellon wrote, "The timing of your telephone call on Friday was 'witchy.' I was sitting alone in a grim mood — furious that the press attacked Senator Edwards on the price of a haircut. But it inspired me — from now on, all haircuts, etc., that are necessary and important for his campaign — please send the bills to me — it's a way to help our friend without government restrictions."
After already contributing to Edwards the maximum amount under law, Mellon provided additional money to Edwards. According to court documents, between June 2007 and January 2008, Mellon allegedly wrote personal checks payable to a friend, hiding that she was giving money to Edwards.
To throw people off, Mellon is accused of falsely listing items of furniture on memo lines of checks such as "chairs," "antique Charleston table" and "book case." The checks were made out to Young's wife in her maiden name and were deposited into accounts controlled by her and Young. As Edwards and Young planned, Young allegedly used the money to provide Hunter with rent, furniture, care, living expense, medical visits and prenatal care.
In total, the now 101-year-old Mellon gave Edwards seven checks ranging from $10,000 to $200,000 from June 2007 to January 2008.
On October 10, 2007, the National Enquirer ran its first story saying Edwards was having an affair. The next day while campaigning in Summerton, South Carolina, Edwards denied the report and said it was "tabloid trash." With tabloid reporters and photographers chasing Hunter and publishing photos of her pregnant, a second wealthy donor came forward. Fred Baron, a wealthy Texas lawyer who is now deceased, was the national finance chair of the campaign.
Court documents show that from December 2007 to January 2008, Baron allegedly wrote nine checks ranging from $9,000 to $58,000. The money was used for Young to hide a pregnant Hunter from the media, as he falsely claimed paternity for her child. Baron's money was used to charter a private jet for trips to Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Aspen, Colorado; San Diego and Santa Barbara, California.
Things weren't faring better for Edwards on the trail. He placed second in the Iowa caucuses and following disappointing losses in New Hampshire and South Carolina he ended his campaign for president on January 30, 2008.
Reporters remained persistent, continuing to ask Edwards if he was having an affair as it was rumored in Democratic circles that he was secretly trying to broker a deal for vice president or attorney general if Clinton or Obama was elected. In February 2008, Hunter and Edwards' child was born.
On August 8, 2008, after repeated denials, Edwards admitted he had an affair with Hunter in an interview with ABC's Bob Woodruff. During the interview, when asked if he was the father of Hunter's child, he responded, "That is absolutely not true." When asked if there was money paid to try to cover up his affair with Hunter, Edwards stated, "I've never paid a dime of money to any of the people that are involved. I never asked anybody to pay a dime of money, never been told that any money has been paid. Nothing has been done at my request. So if the allegation is that somehow I participated in the payment of money, that is a lie."
While his name was not on the birth certificate, Edwards would eventually claim paternity and apologize for denying the baby was his child.
Following the mea culpa, it seemed that Edwards' fall from grace had finally ended. But it got worse. In February 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice acknowledged they had opened an investigation on Edwards regarding campaign finances.
By this point, his more than 30-year-old marriage was falling apart. John and Elizabeth separated and lived apart until Elizabeth Edwards succumbed to breast cancer. She died weeks before Christmas in 2010, with Edwards and their oldest daughter, Cate, at her bedside.
Edwards was now a widower and the sole caregiver to his young children with Elizabeth — Emma Claire and Jack, then 12 and 10 — in addition to providing financial support for Quinn, his daughter with Hunter.
For Edwards, life got worse. After testimony from a cast of former staffers, including Hunter, Mellon and Young, who had published a scandalous tell all-book, a grand jury indicted him on June 3, 2011.
Edwards was indicted on six charges: one count of conspiracy, four counts of illegal campaign contributions and one count of making false statements. Each offense is punishable to up to five years in prison and fines, totaling up to 30 years in prison.
At the heart of the government's case is campaign finance law, specifically whether Edwards violated the Election Act. Established in 1971, the Election Act states that to restrict the influence that any one person can have on the outcome of a primary election for president, the most any individual could contribute to any candidate for that primary election is $2,300.
Prosecutors will argue that Edwards accepted and received contributions from Mellon and Baron in excess of the limits of the Election Act. Court documents detail that Edwards accepted about $725,000 from Mellon and more than $200,000 from Baron. These unlawful contributions were then used to pay for Hunter's living and medical expenses and to pay for travel and accommodations to keep Hunter from the news media.
Additionally, prosecutors say Edwards concealed from the FEC and the public the contributions by filing false and misleading campaign finance reports.
Court documents conclude, "Edwards knew that public revelation of the affair and pregnancy would destroy his candidacy and undermine Edwards' presentation of himself as a family man and by forcing his campaign to divert personnel and resources away from other campaign activities to respond to the criticism and the media scrutiny regarding the affair."
Edwards' defense is that the money he received from Mellon and Baron was for personal reasons, most importantly to protect his wife who was dying, and to protect his family. He contends that at no point throughout the ordeal did he ever think he was breaking the law.
Experts say the government has an uphill battle. This type of case is considered unprecedented in the arena of campaign finance, as there are many loopholes in the law.
After shuffling his legal team a few times, Edwards is represented by high profile attorney Abbe Lowell. Two additional lawyers from North Carolina will assist Lowell.
The trial is proceeding because Edwards refused a plea bargain that would have given him a few months in prison but would have allowed him to keep his law license.
U.S. District Court Attorney Catherine Eagles has selected 42 potential jurors. The first bit of business on Monday will be the final seating of 12 jurors and four alternates. After that, the trial will begin with opening arguments. It is expected to last anywhere from two to six weeks.

I agree, once again Hasbro starts a new pricepoint with a repaint. Interest will be low, the Y-Wing will be scarce, Hassbro wil give up on 70.00 vehicles...hmmm maybe it is a good idea.
Anyway, my wife found Admiral Yularen for me on Friday. Forgot to post it. Decent figure. I wanted it mostly for the holostand and mini holofig. However, Yularen is a good figure unto himself. I'm just not into the animated style though.
Thanks to a friend I now have the Ambush on Vulture's Claw BP. I like it more than I expected.
