ArtsWatch: FCC's Authority To Regulate Net Neutrality Is Neutered
The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives. ArtsWatch is a key part of an agenda aimed at raising public awareness of and support for the rights of artists.

On April 6 Washington, D.C.'s U.S. Court of Appeals struck down a lower court's decision that the Federal Communications Commission could use its "ancillary jurisdiction" to prohibit Internet service provider Comcast from slowing down selected varieties of Internet data — in other words, violating Net neutrality by discriminating against different kinds of file types. This throws aspects of the FCC's National Broadband Plan and Open Internet proceeding into regulatory limbo, since for the time being the agency only has the power to investigate and recommend but not enforce. Some believe this problem was caused by deregulation and should be solved by reclassifying Internet broadband under a different section of existing statutes, while others anticipate Congress will act to grant the FCC new specific authority. Consumer advocates Electronic Frontier Foundation view this court decision with some relief, even though the organization strongly supports Net neutrality and Open Internet principles. EFF maintains the status quo has consumers on the alert and ISPs cooperating, so allowing the FCC to regulate the Internet under vague and broad powers would grant it dangerous "carte blanche authority" that could be abused in the future.
Score, an organization offering counsel to small businesses, held a kick-off event on April 7 launching their Public/Private Broadband Consortium to help small businesses take effective advantage of high-speed Internet. Founding participants include AT&T, Best Buy, Cisco, Google, HP, Microsoft, Skype, and Time Warner Cable, and the consortium begins its activities with $1.1 million in corporate donations. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski and Small Business Administration head Karen Mills spoke at the event.
Project GOAL (Get Older Adults Online) launched on April 5 to promote broadband to seniors and focus on aging-related benefits such as health and reducing social isolation. Initial corporate sponsors include AT&T, Comcast, Facebook, Microsoft, Time Warner Cable, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
As covered in NewsWatch, on April 1 the Department of Commerce declared its support for the Performance Rights Act, which would grant royalties to performers whose works are broadcast on radio. The department's letter said, "Today, the United States stands alone among industrialized nations in not recognizing a public performance right in sound recordings."
On April 7 the American Society of Media Photographers sued Google for copyright infringement in New York's U.S. District Court, joined by several other organizations representing visual artists. This class action suit is similar to the years-old class action against Google brought by the Authors Guild and was initiated separately because that case has a settlement pending and its judge would not allow new plaintiffs to join in. Although both cases center on Google's massive book scanning efforts, ASMP said, "The new class action goes beyond Google's Library Project, and includes Google's other systematic and pervasive infringements of the rights of photographers, illustrators and other visual artists."
The Blu-ray Disc Association announced on April 3 that specifications for two higher density optical formats are expected in the next few months. Two formats are presently on the market — 25 GB single-layer and 50 GB dual-layer discs. The upcoming BDXL format will use three or four layers to boost capacities to 128 GB for write-once discs and 100 GB for either write-once or rewritable discs. BDXL is intended to provide an alternative to magnetic tape for large-scale archival storage. The upcoming IH-BD format is called Intra-Hybrid because it combines a 25 GB read-only layer with a 25 GB write-once layer — enabling published consumer entertainment to prerecord the read-only layer and then have the consumer's disc-drive write new data to the disc that will be unique for each individual user. Although new player hardware will be needed to read the upcoming formats, once these arrive the new drives will be able to handle today's Blu-ray discs.
Japan's High-tech Crime Control Office launched a new surveillance system in January to monitor infringement on peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. The first arrest based on this new technology was a senior citizen who confessed he has shared hundreds of movies over the last few years, including the recently released Avatar.
On April 6 IFPI reported that two sets of antipiracy raids in Mexico resulted in the seizure of more than 1 million recorded CD-R discs, more than 1 million recorded DVD-R discs, and more than 300 disc burners. The raids covered seven labs, 70 warehouses, and resulted in eight arrests.
Spain's proposed Sustainable Economy Law became public for the first time earlier this month, revealing details that will be debated and hopefully become law before July. The procedure to crack down on online piracy permits only copyright holders or collecting societies to report infringing Web sites to the Intellectual Property Commission for its determination whether infringement actually occurred. This determination must then be reviewed by the Madrid High Court within four days to finally decide whether a site or portions of a site are to be shut down.

The sluggish economy has affected every industry in America, even the funeral industry. According to an Associated Press report, cash-strapped families are choosing such low-cost alternatives to standard funerals as cremation, and as a result, funeral industry revenue has declined steadily since 2007.
Another factor that may be having an impact on the bottom lines of traditional funeral homes is the growing number of businesses providing unique send-offs to the departed. These businesses specialize in out-of-the-ordinary services that replace lilies and pipe organ music with surprising keepsakes and spectacular marvels.
Some of these businesses provide services that use state-of-the-art technology, while others use techniques that pre-date the Roman Empire. But what they all have in common is that they provide memorable send-offs to the person for whom the average funeral just won't cut it.
Read ahead to see 10 businesses that provide unusual funerals, creative cremations and much more.

Hendersonville City Council next week will consider a proposed $29.6 million budget for 2013-14 that includes hikes in taxes and fees projected to cost taxpayers more than $600,000.
Hendersonville City Council next week will consider a proposed $29.6 million budget for 2013-14 that includes hikes in taxes and fees projected to cost taxpayers more than $600,000.
The increases are needed to fund projects that have already started, city officials said. A work session will be held May 17 to crunch the numbers.
The draft, which is still being tweaked, recommends a 3-cents increase in the city's tax rate and more than $240,000 in other charges to cover its new fire station, the purchase of a fire truck, Main Street improvements and watershed protection.
A $2 fee would also be added to monthly garbage bills to support a citywide switch from recycling bins to roll-out containers. The project is covered in part by $130,000 in grants. The fee may expire in the future if lowered disposal costs save the city enough money to maintain the recycling effort, which will need two new drivers and a truck to implement.
Customers would see the last 2.5 percent adjustment of a total 5-percent increase to water and sewer rates and another 4-cent surcharge to foot the $66,125 bill to protect the city's watershed. The increase in rates would mean an extra $1.18 (including the surcharge) a month for the average residential water user, and $1.62 a month for the typical sewer user — a total hike of $33.60 a year.
The 3-cents tax hike would increase a family of four's property tax bill for a $150,000 home from $615 to $660 a year. The 44 cents (per $100 of valuation) recommended tax rate is up from 38 cents in 2010, when properties were valued $106 million more than they are today.
"While I regret that an increase is necessary, 3 cents provides $480,000 toward that debt payment" of $506,800 the city faces annually to pay down a $6 million bill for a new fire station and fire truck, Interim City Manager A. Lee Galloway said in a letter to council.
When the city faced the threat of a risky fire insurance rating, council "made a commitment to upgrade the fire service offered in the community," he said. The city purchased a new fire engine to replace a 38-year-old unit. To combat slow response times through traffic congestion to the east side of town, council agreed to build a new fire station on Sugarloaf Road.
Galloway said the new station should open in the spring of 2014, allowing the city to maintain or lower its level 5 insurance rating and save customers from higher premiums, he said.
The proposed budget includes a 1.7 percent cost of living raise to help "employees meet their basic needs for food, housing and vehicular costs." Galloway said those costs have been "rising well above the rate of inflation."
The draft also includes funding for 2.5 percent merit raises for an estimated 80 percent of the city's workforce, and a $600,000 water line extension to serve homes struggling with tainted wells in the Dana community.
Four new positions have been earmarked for the city's proposed salary expenses, for a total of 220 full-time employees.
"Hendersonville, like the rest of the nation, has been through several years of recession, and it will be some time before we are 'back up to normal.' The property valuations in Henderson County fell during the last revaluations and have been slow to recover," Galloway wrote to council. "While we are starting to see a slight uptick on the development front, there has been little in the way of residential and commercial growth that would have a positive impact upon the city's tax base. Revenues have remained somewhat stagnant while costs and demands for services have been on the rise."
Galloway said that when he first eyed the budget he saw the "city was operating efficiently with little waste."
Requests for funding from city departments "well exceeded" the funds available, he said. If all of the requests were granted it would cost the city nearly $2.7 million, more than twice the amount of extra allocations ($881,240) from reserves used to balance the budget this year.
To bring the draft from reserves to a more comfortable level, he said, they may have to cut "several important projects and programs" from the budget.
The draft recommends eliminating proposed allotments for a school resource officer to cover Bruce Drysdale and Hendersonville Elementary schools. It also recommends the council take a look at $1.17 million in budget cuts.
"In an era of only slight growth in revenues, we had great difficulty making them fit into the spending plan for 2013-14," Galloway said. "As the economy rebounds, perhaps there will be funds available to implement these in the future."

(NewsUSA) – If you think you have seen an unusually large number of creepy-crawly bugs this year, it's not your imagination. The hot weather that has plagued much of the country has created an environment for insects that bad dreams and classic sci-fi movies are made of.
The hot temperatures are leading to increased populations of many pests, including ants, fleas, mosquitoes, ticks, termites, scorpions, brown recluse spiders, black widow spiders and earwigs.
Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), explained the correlation between thermometer readings and pest pressures, noting that, "Insects are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperatures are regulated by the temperature of their environment. In warm weather, they become more active, their reproductive cycles speed up, and larvae grow into adulthood at a more rapid rate."
In states that have experienced significant drought conditions, pest management professionals are reporting many pests are coming indoors in search of cooler temperatures and moisture they can no longer find outdoors. The types of pests that are most problematic vary by region, but in general, ants and spiders appear to be topping the list.
In parts of the country that have experienced significant rainfall, the combination of the hot weather and moisture are providing the perfect breeding conditions for mosquitoes, which need only half an inch of water to lay their eggs.
Earlier this summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an alert to the public urging protection against mosquitoes because of an unusually high number of incidents of West Nile Virus, a potentially hazardous illness caused by infected mosquitoes. So far, there have been 241 cases compared to 712 during the entire 2011.
To prevent pests from coming indoors, the NPMA recommends sealing all cracks and crevices in the home, ensuring sweeps are installed if gaps are present under exterior doors, and cleaning up spills and crumbs. For pest protection outdoors, it's important to use an insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus and to eliminate sources of standing water in the yard.

No Xenon Flash. Sigh.
It's just going to be another generic Winphone with a bit of a Nokia skin on it, isn't it?
The Nokia 'Sea Ray' has surfaced again today, showing the Windows Phone 7 device running the upcoming Mango update in a grainy video from the production line. The Nokia N9 was dubiously leaked by CEO Stephen Elop last month, who was filmed theatrically telling audience members to turn their cameras off. Here the handset …
Generic iPhones, and indeed fairly mediocre cameras, haven't done Apple any damage - and arguably the innovation in the Android market is doing as much harm as good.
I'm a long way from convinced by the new Windows phones but retaining control over the specs isn't necessarily a bad idea.
Well.. yes, the N9 is the already announced MeeGo device. But that certainly looks like an N9 to me!
Perhaps the reason that the N9 *wasn't* cancelled (because MeeGo is a dead-end) was to provide a hardware platform that could be used in Nokia's Win 7 device.
But.. this could just be a developer device. Remember the pics of the N950 which everyone assumed was going to be the consumer MeeGo handset? That turned out to be a developer-only jobbo.
(We still an Elop icon)
Am I the only one who caught the news that Win7 is only for the phones and not for a tablet OS?
Am I the only one who remembers the series of N devices which could be considered the precursor to today's tablets?
Did Nokia drop the Intel partnership? Or did it silently fade in to the background?
I'm not going to make any wild speculations, but I don't think Meego was totally ditched. Maybe its not the front runner, but definitely not dead.
But what do I know? I'm not some Russian web site claiming to be an expert on all things Nokia.
Using the N9 hardware platform for WP7?
Highly unlikely, as the N9 is based on the TI OMAP3 SoC and Microsoft don't support OMAP for WP7, instead they only support Qualcomm SoCs, and inexperience of this SoC may be one reason why Nokia are having to outsource manufacture of their WP7 device to Compal in order to expedite production.
The only thing the N9 and WP7 share is the case design (with the addition of a camera button on the WP7 device). Somehow Nokia have squeezed in the touch sensitive buttons which aren't present on the N9 - presumably by using a vertically shorter screen or extending the length of the device to make space for the buttons.
^ There's your Elop icon, right there. :)
This isn't the N9. They look very similar, but if you look at the camera/flash you can see it's different. The Sea Ray is the code name for the WP7 phone, the N9 is the Meego phone, though granted it is possible that the N9 will not be released in some territories, so the WP7 version may be released in those areas as the N9. Possibly. Maybe.
Nokia financials are due on 21 July, this "leak" is intended to pre-empt those figures.
Also, Chinese? Do Nokia have factories in China (I thought many were in Korea for their high-end devices)?
Or is this more evidence that the first Nokia Windows Phone will actually be outsourced to Compal (as first reported by DigiTimes a few weeks ago).

Susan Granger's review of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'
Marvel's new cinematic adventure not only continues the superhero saga but also plunges into a Cold War conspiracy that could deliver covert technology into the hands of an enemy agent. Set two years after "The Avengers" alien attack in New York, U.S. Army Officer Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) becomes a target when he makes a discovery that could endanger the entire planet.
Rogers becomes suspicious about corruption within S.H.I.E.L.D. when the secretary of the World Security Council, Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford), reveals top-secret plans for Project Insight, involving three, huge, high-tech drone-like "helicarriers" that float in the atmosphere instead of the ocean, insidiously spying eyes-in-the-sky. "This isn't freedom; this is fear," Rogers tells Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who warns Cap, "Trust no one."
Working with Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Rogers also enlists a former Iraq/Afghanistan paratrooper, Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie), who is able to swoop around using giant wings. The titular bad guy is a brainwashed Russian assassin known as The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), who turns out to be someone Rogers knew way back when.
Based on Ed Brubaker's comic book series and scripted by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the quirky plot is convoluted yet adroitly directed by brothers Anthony and John Russo (TV's "Arrested Development" and "Community"), who will be helming "Captain America 3." To their credit, the Russos enhance not only the individual characters but also relevant contemporary themes of surveillance, security and control -- versus liberty. Unfortunately, they overuse the shaky cam in repetitive, even confusing action sequences.
While Evans doesn't have the acting chops of Robert Downey Jr., Redford gives inherent gravitas and it's fun to spot Stan Lee in a cameo as a hapless Smithsonian security guard.
Don't leave the theater be-fore watching the two teasers embedded in the end credits,
the first directed by Joss Whedon, who helms "Avengers: Age of Ultron," scheduled for May 2015.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is a spy-centric 7, a timely, intriguing espionage thriller.

Nuggets beat Wolves to lock down 6th seed in West
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Denver Nuggets earned themselves another postseason date with the Los Angeles Lakers. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are going home for another long summer and Brad Miller is going home for good.
JaVale McGee scored 19 points to help the Nuggets lock down the sixth seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a 131-102 victory over the Timberwolves on Thursday night.
Arron Afflalo scored 18 points and Danilo Gallinari had 17 points for the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight game and eighth in their last 10 as they surge into the postseason. Game 1 is Sunday at Staples Center.
"I'm just excited about being in the playoffs and I plan on playing as hard as I have since I've been in Denver," McGee said. "As long as we go out and play like we have been playing, we should be fine."
The Nuggets entered the game needing a win or a loss by Dallas in Atlanta to lock down the No. 6 seed in the West. Had they lost and Dallas won in Atlanta, the Nuggets would have faced No. 2 seed Oklahoma City in the first round.
It's not immediately clear if getting the sixth seed was a good thing for Denver. The Nuggets lost three of their four meetings with the Lakers this season and have never beaten them in six previous playoff series, the last one being a loss in the 2009 Western Conference finals.
"It's good and bad," coach George Karl said. "It's good that we did what we wanted to do from a standpoint of playing the right way and playing the season out hard. You get to play a championship caliber team and they have the home court."
Denver does seem to be playing some of its best basketball after a rough couple of weeks integrating McGee in the trade that sent longtime center Nene to Washington. The super-athletic McGee has scored in double figures in the last four games and his 19 points on Thursday night were his most in a Nuggets uniform.
"Where we were when we made the trade in the first week in March, to get to this point, I think it's a pretty spectacular performance from our guys," Karl said.
Nikola Pekovic had 18 points and 10 rebounds and J.J. Barea had 20 points and five assists for the Timberwolves, who will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. The Wolves lost 13 of their last 14 games of the season.
The only bright spot in a terrible performance that included allowing 80 points in the paint to Denver was an emotional farewell for Miller, the crusty veteran center who is retiring after 14 years in the league. He scored four points with four rebounds and four assists and broke down on the bench after receiving a standing ovation when he left the game with five minutes to play.
He had to compose himself when talking about what coach Rick Adelman has meant to him over the years in stops with Sacramento, Houston and Minnesota.
"No, I've always been the tough guy," Miller said when asked if expected to be this emotional. "I had a couple friends that came into town. … I've been all cool all day and coming out, it really hit me hard."
The outcome on Thursday night wasn't in doubt for very long. Karl rested forward Al Harrington, who has a strained right knee. But he played all the other regulars in their final tuneup, and the Nuggets were off and running from the start.
They outscored the Timberwolves 16-4 to start the second quarter, opening up a 45-29 lead that was never really threatened. Denver shot 63 percent and outrebounded the Wolves 48-29.
Adelman has been very unhappy with how his young team has responded to a rash of injuries to starters Ricky Rubio (knee), Kevin Love (concussion) and Luke Ridnour (ankle). Adelman went through a similar situation in Houston when stars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming were lost.
Most of the Wolves wore headbands in warmups and in the game, a tribute to Miller. But that was about all the interest they showed in being on the floor on Thursday night.
Miller air-balled two shots in the first quarter and had an ugly turnover, but he did hit a 3-pointer in the fourth and got a hearty cheer from the sparse home crowd.
Adelman wished the Wolves could have sent one of his favorite players out on a better note.
"A lot of people made a statement in that game that they were done playing and the season wasn't over yet," Adelman said. "I don't understand the attitude. I don't understand why you would approach any job that way. Some guys made a big statement tonight."

Lesson learned
Well, I am finally enjoying fruits of my first all grain brew. Thanks to all those who helped me out along the way. The pale ale is great, it is by far much better than the extract beers I was brewing. The character of the entire beer is great. With all grain there is definetly the feeling that you are drinking real beer, not just homebrewed whatever. I would encourage any extract brewers to make the jump. I was intimidated at first, but just keep reading and learning and asking questions. It is worth the extra effort. I think I can finally start to excercise the "don't worry" part of the slogan. (I already had the "and have a homebrew" part down after my 2nd batch).

Chris: Glad to hear it went well for you. Is this the pale ale from your earlier post that had the bitterness problem you were worried about? I've been AG'ing for 1 1/2 yrs now and love it--fresh air, a friend or two, fresh beer, heavy metal. Like Toyota used to say, "Oh, what a feeling." Keep up the continued successes. What's next?

Lots on the list
Yeah, it is the same batch. Everything just mellowed out at the end, and after 1.5 weeks in the bottle, it is really coming around. I have tons of ideas for more beer, and right now it is just a matter of having enough time to brew them all. My next batch will be a chocolate porter, followed by a very light ale for Sunday football games. I have an Amber Ale batch in the bottle conditioning right now, plus a mash hopped pale ale in the secondary. Hmm, I guess I have had enough time to brew lately, it just seems like I don't because there are so many things I want to try.

To prove a Tobyhanna man is the one who killed and dismembered a woman and left her body parts in trash bags dumped alongside area interstates, Monroe County prosecutors want seven other women he's been charged with assaulting in the past to testify against him.
To prove a Tobyhanna man is the one who killed and dismembered a woman and left her body parts in trash bags dumped alongside area interstates, Monroe County prosecutors want seven other women he's been charged with assaulting in the past to testify against him.
But Monroe County and Pennsylvania Superior courts have ruled the prosecution can have only three of the women testify, with the county court contradicting itself as to why.
Now First Assistant District Attorney Michael Mancuso is appealing the lower courts' rulings in Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the case of Charles Hicks, 39, who's awaiting trial on charges of murdering Deanna Null, 36, in 2008.
Mancuso's appeal maintains that the testimony of these seven other women is a factor a jury would consider when determining if Null's death was an accident or if Hicks had a motive or intent to kill her.
The district attorney is seeking the death penalty for Hicks. If Hicks is convicted, the women's testimony could be crucial in the jury's decision between execution or life without parole.
Troubled and having turned to drugs and prostitution, Null was last seen in January 2008 in Scranton, getting into a vehicle with a man witnesses believed to be Hicks, according to information gathered by police.
On Jan. 29, a human head, arms, legs and torso were found in separate trash bags dumped alongside interstates 380 and 80.
The body parts were later identified as Null's, and the investigation led police to Hicks as the suspect. Hicks was charged more than a month later after severed hands identified as Null's were found wrapped in old newspaper in his home.
Police said Hicks told them he and Null had smoked crack cocaine and had sex, but that he's not the one who killed her. He said he would wait until he has a lawyer prior to explaining how Null's severed hands came to be in his home, but police have not said if he has ever given an explanation.
Police looked into Hicks' background and found seven other women he had been charged with assaulting in Texas. One such assault happened in 2001 or 2002 and involved a woman using the name Karen Lovell.
Police give the following account based on information gathered:
Hicks pulled Lovell into a motel room and locked and chained the door. He then grabbed Lovell by the hair and told her "I just want someone to hug me and tell me it's OK."
He then took a razor blade from his pocket and told her "If you scream, I'm going to cut you and kill you."
Hicks then threw a crack pipe and some crack cocaine onto the bed. Holding Lovell's hair with one hand, Hicks had her take her clothes off, removed her shirt and bra with his other hand and then pushed her nude onto the bed.
He then pulled down his pants, made her smoke some of the crack and then tried having sex with her. By this time, Lovell's screams had brought the motel manager knocking on the door.
Hicks grabbed Lovell by the hair, pulled her behind the door and opened it slightly. When he did so, Lovell managed to break free, pushed her way through the door and ran nude into the parking lot, screaming for help.
"The manner of assault (on Lovell and the six other women) consisted primarily of choking and beating with the hands, similar to the blunt force trauma suffered by Deanna Null," Mancuso's appeal states. "Many of the other victims were prostitutes like Deanna. Many of the circumstances of the crimes against these women involved the use of illegal narcotics such as crack cocaine. The sexual issues appear to be part of the motive for the assaults on women."
Mancuso notified now-retired defense attorney Bill Sayer of his intent to present these women's testimony at trial, to which Sayer filed a motion asking the court to exclude that testimony as more prejudicial than probative.
The now-retired Ronald Vican, Monroe County president judge at the time, allowed testimony from Lovell and two other women. Vican barred testimony from the rest, calling it cumulative and therefore unnecessary, Mancuso said.
Mancuso appealed before Vican, saying Vican should have waited until after hearing testimony from all seven women prior to ruling.
Vican responded by reversing his reasoning but not his conclusions on excluding the other four women. He now said the testimony should remain excluded because it differs from that of the other three women, rather than being cumulative, according to Mancuso.
Mancuso next appealed to Superior Court, which upheld Vican's decision despite his contradictory reasoning.
Mancuso has since filed an appeal in state Supreme Court and is awaiting a decision.

Lamkin Perma-Wrap Classic 3GEN Standard White Grip
Perma-Wrap grips for woods and irons have been a favorite among golfers for more than 15 years. Soft-feeling, the Lamkin Perma-Wrap Classic 3GEN Grip is now available in solid white and made with 3GEN, an advanced rubber compound that creates a natural, secure grip like no other. The tactile surface is durable and helps keep the club in position with very light tension. The compound's unique, impact-softening qualities enhance player control through swing and impact without compromising any feel to the player.
The 3GEN material features a vastly improved resistance to environmental aging and weathering factors. The material will not absorb any moisture and its tackiness is activated by toweling off the grip or using a light abrasive brush. It continually performs better if it's cleaned regularly. Simply brush it with a wet towel and not only will any dirt or grime be removed from the grip, but the material's incredible tackiness will come back.

Bud Pounders wipes the sweat off his hands and grabs a bright blue ball from the carousel. He's bowling in loafers, not the tri-colored slick-bottom shoes designed for sliding across the hardwood; but for his between-the-legs delivery style, this footwear is ideal.
He steps up — toes on the line — and tosses his ball down the lane. It's a mean hook on this roll, and despite having the bumpers raised to prevent gutterballs, Pounders' ball manages to sneak his ball around the outside of all 10 pins. He knocks over respectable eight pins the next roll to rescue the frame from a double goose egg; it's high fives all around for that toss.
A couple lanes down, Mariah Langer and Esther Simmons are having similar luck. The two Hood River Special Olympics team members have been practicing for several weeks at Orchard Lanes, and although their scores have improved, the infamous gutterball shows up from time to time. And it does not help that they're bowling alongside John Owre, who has by far the strongest throw on the team.
Hood River's Special Oylmpics bowling team is 34 players strong this season, with members ranging in age from 12 to 70. The team practices every Monday for 12 weeks leading up to a regional competition in November.
"Right now the team is getting ready for Bowling with the Cops; they look forward to it all season," said Anna Schwebke, team coordinator. "After that they have regionals, which is a against teams from all over the Northwest."
Bowling with the Cops is a fundraiser the group does every year to raise money for team and traveling expenses. HRSO team members collect pledges from the community, either in flat donation or by score, and spend an afternoon (Nov. 5) bowling with/against law enforcement officers from around the county.
"Before bowling they competed in track and field and bocce ball; after this season they move on to skiing and swimming," Schwebke said. "For many of our members, this is basically the only chance they have to get out and socialize with friends. Special Olympics provides an opportunity to build confidence and a sense of self-worth that many don't usually get in their day-to-day lives."
HRSO team members will be out in the community campaigning for pledges leading up to Bowling with the Cops. Anyone who would like to sponsor an athlete is asked to contact Schwebke at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Additionally, Schwebke said coaches are always in demand. Anyone interested in volunteering to coach can contact her for details.
Team business sponsors are also being sought and can inquire at the same email. Schwebke acknowledged the following businesses for their recent support:
Rosauers Supermarket, Full Sail Brewing, Orchard Lanes, Doug's Sports, Dairy Queen, Walgreens, Papa Murphy's, Pietro's and Domino's Pizza.

Quick Sailor Moon question
Hopefully this is a good place to post this...was also considering 'Older Series'.
So the other day I felt like watching Sailor Moon again...and the ending of episode 200 was kind of lacking...sorta. I decided to flip through some of the end manga and there seems to be some extra/differences. I know the anime is loosely based on the manga but is there a chapter/volume that picks up after the anime?
I've been planning to read it all from start to end at some point, I'm more just curious.

The anime has made so many differences since the first season, it will make little sense to read just the last arc. But if you want the main difference, then read the final 10 chapters that change a lot the fight with Galaxia.

As of now, the first 2 seasons are done by SailorMoon Center and they are working on 3 (s) and it looks like nobody has done 4 yet (SuperS).
So we should basically wait to watch 5 (Stars) until we've seen these right?

Here is my take on all the seasons.
ANIMATION SECTION: 7 [Bishoujos in Sailor Suits.]
The first thing to notice is how every season of Sailor Moon has a different prevailing color.
-The first seasons main color was black, depicted in several night scenes were the girls in the story are looking for romance and a way to answer the question for their reincarnation. The villains also adored the darkness and were living in a dark underground base.
-The second seasons main color was white, depicted in several scenes of Crystal Tokyos buildings and in the prevailing sparkling jewels and crystals found in the series. Every major building, spaceship and artifact was a sparkling crystal in this season.
-The third seasons main color was red, depicted in several scenes of Tokyos future destruction and in the villains experiments. Everything evilly created in this season is blood red.
-The fourth seasons main colors were yellow and pink, depicted in several scenes of Dreamland and the Dead Circus motifs.
-The fifth seasons main colors are yellow and light blue/azure, depicted in several scenes of crystals and visual effects.
The animation is old for todays standards but still does the trick. There is nothing particularly bad with the graphics. The visual effects were bright and cheery, as they should be in a girly series.
A bad point is the repeating sequences of the transformations and the special attacks. Every episode recycles them to the point of becoming very annoying. Were talking about 1/3rd of every episode being wasted on them. But all this posing and special attack fuss has become the trademark of the series. And it may brainwash you into actually liking them AND crave for them.
Another bad point is the lame-looking monsters-of-the-week. They are plain stupid to look at, fight really simple and get defeated really fast and always in the same way. But at least the animators learned from their mistakes and improved them in the following seasons. They look better and better with each season, plus have more interesting weaponry.
Another notice must be made about the Sailor uniforms in the final season. They are extravagant to the point of being considered a sexual fetish! All the new good and bad Sailor Warriors are dressed in so much leather and show enough cleavage to be mistaken for night queens, or something. And Sailor Moons new uniform is huge! How does she move in it?
SOUND SECTION: 7 [The characters speak with a real kick in whatever theyre saying.]
There is a lot of chan and san going around in honorifics but that is part of the normal package.
The bad guys are talking too snobbish (Hohoho! Your pathetic powers are nothing before my beautiful face!) and the good guys too manihaistic (If you are a bad person, I will punish you in the name of the moon!) but you get to like it after a while.
A major twist is the ironic remarks everyone makes. There is a lot of self-mockery in their one-liners, so all those repeating phrases and transformations never become old as you expect a comeback phrase to laugh at.
Also, a notice is to be given for the main song (Moonlight Densetsu), which is amongst the best girly music I know of. There is a new intro song in the fifth season, which is as nice as the old one. If you add the rest of the songs in the lot, then you think you are watching a cheesy Broadway musical. Its an overall nice work.
STORY SECTION: 7 [Once upon a time, there was a princess on the moon...]
Every season can easily be divided into story arks of 10 to 20 episodes. On each story ark, in the beginning you get a new goal and new characters entering the stage. Stand-alone episodes with a monster-of-the-week formula fill the in-between. And towards the end, the goal is usually accomplished and the basic villain changes. All following story arks follow the same pattern. It is a great way of dragging the story as far as the producers like. There are some serious episodes, followed by a loose plot that steadily escalates to major events. How can you hate it?
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4
Season 5
Heck, I wish for most shounen to have had half the plot elements this mahou shojo had. Most in-between episodes damage the Story feeling, but the scenario is otherwise very good, despite the clichés.
CHARACTER SECTION: 8 (spoiler alert!) [Although there are no original characters, their quirks and decent coloring makes up for it.]
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4
Season 5
VALUE SECTION: 10 [I find no reason for not considering it amongst the best of what this genre has to offer.]
Sailor Moon is neither the first nor the best Mahou Shojo on the block. But it became famous enough, thanks to:
-its likable characters. Since all of them are stereotypes, every viewer can easily find someone he/she likes and thus root for.
-its really long duration. This is the first of five tv seasons and several movies, easily becoming the longest Mahou Shojo ever made. More than enough time to bind with the characters.
-its evolving story. Although most episodes are stand-alones, there is a story that changes every 10 or so episodes, giving an air of freshness.
-its romance. It is quite stereotypical most of the time but the visual effects and the metaphysical plot make it more interesting than that of a typical slice-of-life romantic scenario.
-its several name allusions. Every Sailor Warrior has the basic element she controls in her surname, villains are always named after a specific category (minerals in the first season, crystals in the second, animals in the fourth, metals in the fifth), and special effects are tied to their users personality.
ENJOYMENT SECTION: 7 [The episodes can be divided into the stand-alones and the story-centered ones.]
The story-centered ones were great. Very predictable most of the time but the dramatic backdrop made me forget that and I was simply absorbed in them.
The stand-alones were repetitive but also good most of the time. Although I prefer on-going stories, the comedy and/or romance in them were more than enough to make them interesting to keep watching. Not many series are capable of accomplishing this.
As a build up, the interest was peaking in the first three seasons as it was slowly becoming darker, and a bit more violent serious, dropped a lot in the fourth for looking like a silly fairy tale, and rose a lot again in the fifth for becoming far kinkier.
Very naïve and repetitive but its heart is pure and intact.
Princess Tutu (awesome!) is by far the best Mahou Shoujo series.
These Mahou Shoujo titles are also worth watching: Wedding Peach, Card Captor Sakura, Magic Knight Rayearth, Lyrical Nanoha (all of them are good)
The Sailor Moon manga has quite a few differences with the anime. It is a lot darker and mature as a whole.
Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose is a silly hentai title that parodies Sailor Moon.
Average: 7.6 / 10

I know this is a weird place to ask this since this discussion thread is about Stars, but I can't find a discussion thread about SuperS so I'm going to do it here.
Random question! I'm curious about watching SuperS since it's apparently the most light-hearted and the most hated of all the Sailor Moon seasons, and I'm curious about seeing if it's really as bad as people make it out to be (which I don't think will be true as I like to watch things with an open mind). I do confess I'm only on episode 10 of the first season and have yet to meet Chibiusa, but...is it possible to watch SuperS as a standalone series? Without having seen Sailor Moon S? Or other seasons? Or do you have to absolutely watch all the seasons before watching SuperS?

I think you can watch it on it's own, you'll find out pretty fast if it doesn't make sense to you that way. One problem though: SuperS concludes with the first few episodes of Stars, so if you want the ending, you'll have to watch those too.

If you're really in the mood to watch SuperS, though, and don't want to wade through Classic + R's combined 89 episodes, I'm sure you could do so and get the hang of things (more or less) within the first 3-4 episodes. I very much enjoyed SuperS, for what it's worth. It's somewhat aimless compared to the other seasons (It's not any more lighthearted than Sailor Moon Classic or Sailor Moon R for the most part, though those two had a more focused plot; S is a few shades darker, with Stars somber and almost joyless compared to the rest of the anime), but the entire anime is wonderful and SuperS is no exception.

I'm Under Arrest!!
The thing about Sailor Stars is that while the seasons are semi independent you really need to start at the the beginning to really understand the characters-if I just jumped into Sailor Stars headfirst without any references or comprehension of the characters I'd be lost pretty quickly. In that respect Wedding Peach is the same.

That's not to say that you'd miss a whole lot by going straight to SuperS, but you will have to do a bit of figuring out character dynamics.

Imagine turning your cars steering wheel, or giving it a gentle tug, and having it break away from the steering column. Now youre speeding along holding the suddenly useless wheel.
It sounds like a vision from a cartoon, or every drivers nightmare. And it happened to at least one driver of a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze compact car last month, and General Motors Corp. is recalling 2,100 of the cars as a result.
While the recall affects a relatively small number of vehicles, it is an unpleasant development for Chevrolet, which has been riding high on the success of its new small car. Chevrolet sold 50,205 Cruzes through the end of March. Thats well short of the 76,821 units Toyota sold of the Cruzes main rival, the Corolla, but it is ahead of the 37,379 Cobalts Chevy sold in the same period. The Cruze replaced the Cobalt and is supposed to be a departure from that uninspired model.
In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the car maker said it traced the problem with that particular car to a case in which the wrong wheel was put in a car and replaced later in the assembly process with the correct one. But the new wheel wasnt attached properly, the car maker says.
When the wheel separated from the steering column, the driver was able to get the car to the side of the road safely, and the company says it has tested other cars from the production run and found no similar problems. General Motors says it believes this was an isolated incident.
Chevrolet says it has changed the production process to make sure the machine used to attach the steering wheel can accommodate only the correct one. The company is recalling cars that were built before it made the change.
Under the recall, dealers will inspect the steering wheel to make sure it is properly attached. This service is free of charge and the recall is expected to begin on or before April 8, 2011. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438.

- R Vasudevan, Group Managing Director, GMP Technical Solutions
Pertaining to the growing demand and safety concerns for building evacuation during fire in high-rise residential and commercial properties, and the entire infrastructure segment, GMP Technical Solutions recently began operations of its second manufacturing unit near Mumbai. The company, in its continuing expansion strategy, started its new manufacturing unit (Unit-III) in Bhiwandi on July 13, 2016, which was inaugurated by R Vasudevan, Group Managing Director, GMP Technical Solutions.
CW spoke to Ajay Mehta, Director, GMP Technical Solutions, to know more about the strategy behind opening 3rd unit near Mumbai while it already has two manufacturing units in North India in Baddi, Himachal.
What made the company establish a new unit?
The construction industry is evidently on a sharp growth path in India. Over the past few years, GMP has grown to a leadership position in metal doors and frames, clean room partitions and the clean room equipment industry. Considering the robust industry growth expected in the next 10-15 years, there was an immediate need to increase the manufacturing capacity of our products to meet the growing demand. We expanded our existing manufacturing unit in Baddi in November 2015, and this new manufacturing unit - Unit-III in Bhiwandi - is our second level of expansion. The decision to select Mumbai as a location was purely strategic. We believe it will give us an edge for various markets in the country such as in the south, west, and in exporting to other countries as well.
What is the manufacturing capacity of the new unit?
We have designed the plant for a manufacturing capacity of 45,000 doors and 3 million sq ft of panels per annum.
This has led to an approximate 30 per cent increase in our existing manufacturing capacity from our previous two units in Baddi.
What are the advantages in terms of location?
The unit´s location was decided keeping in mind some important markets. We will serve the markets of the south, west and exports from this unit. This will result in better time commitments and savings in terms of freight, transportation time, etc. Also, we are the only manufacturer with a hi-tech unit for metal doors and frames and clean room partitions near Mumbai; this will benefit our business.
Any technological advancement in the new unit as compared to the other two units of GMP?
Yes. This plant is equipped with latest technologies available in the sheet metal industry. The major machines are procured from renowned suppliers of the world. It is the only manufacturing plant to have a laser cutting machine procured from Trumph (Germany), and a Turret punching machine from Amada (Japan). Both these machines have an accuracy level of 0.1 mm. The powder coating plant is procured from Gema (Switzerland), the decoiling and roll forming machines from Bulldog (UK) and has an automatic bar coding system for all the manufactured products.
What are your expectations in terms of exports from the new unit?
We plan to manufacture all export orders from Unit-III, which will save time and domestic freight costs too. But, if there is a capacity concern at a particular stage, the option of Unit-I and Unit-II are always open. We will work on the optimisation of capacity for all three units.
What are your future prospects for the metal doors and clean room panels market?
Our expectations from the domestic markets are high.
It will definitely walk the growth path for the next ten years. Having said that, better government policies and an industrial environment are necessary to boost this growth. With regards to the market for exports, the market has become volatile and unpredictable due to issues such as currency crises, BREXIT, oil prices, civil wars, etc. But, we hope for good growth in the export markets too in the years to come.
What are the company´s future plans?
We will discuss this after we take necessary decisions. Currently, we are excited about this new unit, and will make all the possible efforts to make it successful.

What impact does system formwork have on project duration? What does it cost as a proportion of RCC works? How can formwork failure be avoided?
Is it wise to invest in system formwork? With system formwork enjoying a market share of just 10-15 per cent of the industry, according to Surajit Ray, Managing Director, Ulma Formwork Systems India, many contractors are still stuck on that question despite the known positives.
Cutting cycle time
In any high-rise construction, the formwork cycle time is one of the key factors influencing project duration, says G Boopathi, Manager Civil, Technology Competency Centre, Heavy Civil Infrastructure IC, Larsen & Toubro.
A faster formwork cycle saves project time and cost to a great extent by enabling early completion and because it can be reused many times.
¨System formwork cuts cycle time by 40-50 per cent,¨ affirms Akhil Kumar Sureka, Managing Director, Sarvome Developers. In days, the slab cycle with MFE formwork would be about six against the traditional slab cycle of 21, according to Ketan Shah, Managing Director, MFE Formwork Technology (I). ¨System formwork facilitates an eight to nine day cycle against a conventional 12 to 14 day cycle,¨ says Shreeniwas Kelkar, Country Product & Marketing Manager, Doka India.
So how does system formwork save time vis-á-vis conventional formwork?
Essentially, it is up to 40 per cent lighter, easier to place, and has fewer components to assemble and de-shutter. ¨We reckon conventional formwork has 38 per cent more ties and four times more props than Doka formwork,¨ says Kelkar. ¨System formwork also saves interest and labour costs while helping to build a brand by ensuring on-time delivery and a better finish than conventional formwork. Doka formwork delivers up to 57 per cent savings over conventional formwork.¨
Different gains
Different kinds of formwork vary in their capacity to impact the speed of execution. ¨As against 14 days for completing the RCC work of one floor of a building with conventional formwork, aluminium formwork like Myvan can cut the time cycle to seven to eight days per floor if other supporting facilities, like the crane for handling and concreting equipment, are on hand,¨ opines Samar Ghoshdastidar, Technical Director, Simplex Infrastructures. ¨Tunnel formwork with its heat control curing system technology can speed up the cycle to even one day.¨
¨Automatic climbing formworks and lightweight manually handled formwork are both faster than crane climbing formwork systems,¨ says Ray.
However, not just any formwork has the potential to save time. ¨Only the most appropriate system formwork for a project, when provided for in optimum quantity for the project completion schedule, can help cut up to 30 per cent of project time compared to conventional formwork systems,¨ adds Ray. ¨Other factors impacting the choice of formwork solution and support system are detailed structural analysis, the weight of concrete, pressure exerted by concrete while concreting and the resistance offered by the formwork system.¨
Avoiding formwork failure
In construction, 60 per cent of RCC work failures are caused by formwork collapse, shoring collapse, inadequate shoring and lateral bracing, 8 per cent are owing to premature removal of shore and 18 per cent are because of faulty materials, explains Neeraj Kumar Jha, Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi.
To eliminate fatalities, injuries and business loss from accidents at construction sites, contractors must give formwork its due. Considering it a temporary prop in the construction process can lead to failure.
¨To avoid failures, first and foremost, all the formwork should be properly designed by a competent structural engineer and made as per specification with proper material. Thereafter, it should be erected and maintained under expert supervision during the complete execution of work,¨ affirms Ghoshdastidar. ¨Faulty design and fabrication and poor execution are major reasons for formwork collapse. Mishandling is another reason,¨ agrees Shah. ¨Faulty design, poor quality of formwork and overloading are important reasons for formwork collapse, which the contractor must take care of,¨ echoes Sureka.
Ideally, the design should comply with international standards on strength and deflection parameters. Then, it must be made in a modern facility following stringent quality control procedures.
For instance, to help achieve the desired result without mishaps, MFE deputes a supervisor to the contractor´s site for about eight weeks of training in using formwork, and issues a formwork manual.
Towards greater acceptance
Boopathi is positive about the way the industry is heading. ¨More widespread use of system formwork, greater acceptance of formwork usage methods, improved worker skill levels as a result of proper training, better awareness of safety measures and pre and post concreting inspections are preventing formwork accidents and failures to a large extent,¨ he says.
Indeed, ¨Gradually, system formwork is becoming the preferred choice among contractors at all levels,¨ says Ray. ¨High-rise buildings in metros, strict execution schedules to complete infrastructure projects (with heavy penalties for time overruns), safety consciousness and increasing strictures imposed upon contractors are creating demand for Ulma formwork.¨
Build ´x´ floors to recover investment in formwork
How many times do you need to reuse formwork to recover your investment in it? Here´s a back-of-the-envelope calculation from Shreeniwas Kelkar, Country Product & Marketing Manager, Doka India: ¨It takes four similar types of projects to recover the upfront cost of formwork. For instance, a developer investing in formwork of 1,000 sq m for a G+10 structure with 1,000 sq m as floor area would recover the investment after reusing the formwork for three more similar projects. Recovering the cost of formwork is a function of repetition.¨
Formwork vs RCC cost
The cost of formwork as a fraction of the RCC cost varies greatly. Among key influencing factors are the type of structure (commercial, residential, circular tank, nuclear power project, etc), cycle period between successive concrete pours (this determines the quantity of the formwork needed), type of formwork system (crane or manually handled), the investment mode (purchase, buyback or rental) and the type of construction (cast-in-situ or pre-cast segmental), according to Surajit Ray, Managing Director, Ulma Formwork Systems India.
CW polled all respondents on this proportion. Here´s what they say. ¨In general, the cost of the formwork may vary between 3 per cent and 7 per cent of the RCC project cost,¨ adds Ray.
¨System formwork costs 5-6 per cent of total construction cost including safety, depending on the project size, shape, complexity matrix and the number of times the formwork is used,¨ says Shreeniwas Kelkar, Country Product & Marketing Manager, Doka India.
¨Generally, about 8 per cent of total RCC cost is required for formwork,¨ says Samar Ghoshdastidar, Technical Director, Simplex Infrastructures.
¨Formwork makes up about 13 per cent of the total RCC project cost of a 20-storey column-beam-slab type of construction,¨ says Ketan Shah, Managing Director, MFE Formwork Technology (I), with the height of the building and type of structure (all concrete walls or column beam slab with masonry partitions) influencing this proportion.
¨We reckon system formwork makes up about 15-20 per cent of the cost of structural works if considerable repetitions are achieved,¨ opines G Boopathi, Manager Civil, Technology Competency Centre, Heavy Civil Infrastructure IC, Larsen & Toubro.
¨System formwork makes up roughly 25 per cent of the project cost,¨ says Akhil Kumar Sureka, Managing Director, Sarvome Developers.
¨Formwork costs about a third of the overall RCC cost; time-wise it could even take up to 75 per cenr of the total time,¨ said Neeraj Kumar Jha, Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi.
What do contractors look for in formwork?
Contractors look for system formwork made of lightweight materials for easy handling, with fewer loose or small components like locking pins, wedges, etc, says G Boopathi, Manager Civil, Technology Competency Centre, Heavy Civil Infrastructure IC, Larsen & Toubro. ¨We also prefer error-proof systems that can be reused many times and are flexible enough to use for different applications.¨
¨We look for formwork of accurate size and shape as the structural drawing mandates. It should be amendable to be easily and speedily modified to a different size and shape as per the project requirement with minimum wastage,¨ says Samar Ghoshdastidar, Technical Director, Simplex Infrastructures. ¨Formwork joints should be leak-proof to avoid any leakage of cement slurry during compaction of concrete by vibration. Good formwork should retain its original shape, size and other qualities even after many reuses. It should be strong enough to support the concrete and have a smooth inner surface for a good finish.¨
¨We look for quality, safety features, time-saving capability and cost in any formwork system,¨ says Akhil Kumar Sureka, Managing Director, Sarvome Developers.

No matter what I do I can't get Poco's Bayesian Filters to give the same performance in blocking Spam as I can with PopFile running on my OE, both on the same mail accounts. On Poco, I am running Strict Bayesian with the other filters disabled.
Twice I have deleted the DBGood.ini and DBSpam.ini and retrained Poco's Bayesian Filters but I seldom see better than 96%. which I have today. I presently have 13,988 Junk Words and 7,062 Good Words.
By contrast, PopFile on OE is at 98.85% today running on the same mail accounts. Yes, I know I can disable Poco's Bayesian Filters and use PopFile but I really want to try and get everything done with Poco.
When I have some Spam messages which were not filtered out, I highlight them and then Shift+Control+- to move them to the Junk Mail folder. It is my understanding that this action also trains Poco's Bayesian Filters. Am I correct? It certainly changes the statistics.
Poco's implementation of Bayesian Filtering seems overly complicated in regards to training as compared with PopFile which I can train in two days to get 98+%.

Greetings, gold fans! I apologize for my absence, but I'm afraid my class load was hitting me harder than usual. Still, things have calmed down a bit, so it seems like a good idea to continue with the "20 Days of Gold Making" inspired by Nev.
2. If you set yourself a goal, what was your goal & at what point did you set it?
I think goals are just as important in gold making as they are in any other area of your life. The hard part, though, is figuring out exactly where to set those goals. Set them too low and there's no real sense of accomplishment. Set them too high and you're likely to get frustrated when it either takes too long or just isn't possible.
That being said, I probably aimed a bit on the high side when I set my initial goal. When I first started gold making, I decided almost right away that I wanted to be gold capped, to have a million gold. That being said, I knew it also wasn't going to happen anywhere near overnight. I knew it could take a year or more.
As it so happens, I set that goal in January of 2012 and reached it at the end of October. That may not be as fast as some others could do it, but it was in my predicted timeline. I have to say, though,, that if I were doing it all over again, I'd likely set a series of smaller goals leading up to it. I could see myself making progress each day, but sometimes it seemed like so little compared to where I wanted to be.
Still, I did it. I climbed to the mountain. I made it to the top and then...well, that's a story for another day. Specifically, it's a story for day 8's question. So until then, keep striving for those goals, whatever they may be.
