A representation of teachers con¬ sisting of Mr. Jtrfinson, Mr. Trumbo and Mr. Barry were present at the meeting. The trio requested an ex¬ ecutive session of the board. Mr. Jirik, who was a spectator at the meeting, stated that he could find no provisimi in the open meeting law covering the discussion of per¬ sonalities or the actions of a board menf>ber. In con4>liance with the law the board refused to go mto executive sesion. "Rie trio then re¬ quested that Mr. Jirik and the Farmside not make public their comments.

Percy Swanson, Huntle^f'g civil defense director, announced today that there are certain things which people must leam ahd do that will help them get ready for and cope witfa ^most any type of natural disaster. Mr. Swanson went on to say that perhaps the naost basic thing to remmnber is to keep oatoi. This may metm the differ- ;ence between life and death. In many disasters people have been killed or injiu-ed needlessly because they took tlwughtless acUon when they should have done soaieduag else or done nothioe Just dien. In time .qf.^eamsmss,.

In Huntley we ai^ using an "at¬ tention" or "alert" signal, usually a diree to five minute steady blast to get the attention of the people in time of a threatening or. im¬ pending peace time emergency. When diis aignal sounds people ^ould tum on their radkie or tele¬ vision sets to hear innibrtan't emergency informatkm being broad¬ cast.

Eighteen-year-old Nicole Level, one of Mexico's top junior windsurfers from Cancun, is alive today because of the quick thinking of 13-year-old Rasmus Sayre from Vineyard Haven.
The rescue took place last Saturday during a world-class windsurfing championship in Cozumel. The young teenage female sailor was found adrift amid four and five-foot seas, far offshore, without her board and not wearing a life jacket. Mr. Sayre happened to notice her while racing in a tight competition, and without hesitating he left the highly competitive race to make the rescue.
"There is nothing greater than saving the life of a person," said Rasmus, standing outside the Tisbury Elementary School on Wednesday afternoon, where he had just finished playing volleyball. The words sounded as if they were spoken by someone much older than 13.
"She was really exhausted, scared and petrified. For 20 minutes she was treading water," Rasmus said.
The two racing windsurfers were participants in the three-day North American Windsurfing Championship. The competition brought 22 of the fastest windsurfers in this hemisphere together to compete for prizes. They came from Peru, Canada and the United States, among other places.
Rasmus Sayre comes from a highly accomplished sailing and windsurfing family. His parents, Nevin and Stina Sayre, are both past windsurfing champions. His sister Solvig is one of the nation's top sailors. Each winter, for the last three years, the family has traveled to a different place to race in the Techno 293 Junior Windsurfing North American Championship. Last year Rasmus won first place in the competition in Merritt Island, Fla.
Last week, the Sayres and their son attended the championship in Cozumel.
Saturday morning marked the second day of racing. Rasmus took his windsurfing board and entered the water along with the other competitors. He was vying for the top spot in the Techno 293 under 15 fleet. After several laps on a four to five-mile course, Rasmus was well ahead and in first place, when something caught his eye, far from the shoreline, in a strong current running in the opposite direction of the wind in huge seas. It was a hand sticking out of the top of a wave some distance away. The hand belonged to Nicole Level, who was alone in the water.
Rasmus immediately swung his board in her direction and pulled out of the race to help the tired swimmer.
Nevin Sayre later recounted the tale in an e-mail to friends and family: "It was a dangerous situation on the far offshore side of the course when the joint between Nicole's board and rig failed, and she lost both her board and rig in the big waves.
"Nicole was left swimming alone in the strong offshore current for more than 20 minutes, and was without a life jacket. As Rasmus rounded the final turning mark first place in the Techno 293 under 15 fleet, he happened to see a hand at the crest of a wave. He immediately dropped out of his first place position, sailed out to her; and Nicole, completely exhausted, struggled onto Rasmus's board."
Ms. Level was a participant in the RS:X class, an older group of sailors who had left the beach earlier in the morning.
Nevin Sayre wrote in his e-mail: "The ordeal continued as Raz [Rasmus] attempted to sail the two of them to shore but was unable in the big waves, and they were being swept further out to sea by the four to five-knot Gulf Stream. Meanwhile, I was on the beach starting to freak out as competitors behind Raz started hitting the beach and no sign of Raz. I was just about to take the next steps when a T293 sail appeared far off from a strange direction. Luckily, an alert fishing vessel with high lookout tower noticed Raz's sail from a distance. The fishing vessel came alongside, and Nicole had regained enough strength to swim to the boat and was taken safely back to shore."
Rasmus sailed his windsurfer back to shore.
Word of the rescue traveled as quickly as the nimble windsurfers on their cresting waves. Mr. Sayre said his son was dubbed a guardian angel by the people of Cozumel.
Once ashore, more details about the race came out. Another sailor in the earlier race had noticed the troubled swimmer, but chose to continue racing and tell the authorities when the race was completed.
Nevin Sayre said the incident prompted much discussion, including about the issue of life jackets. In Rasmus's racing class, all the participants are required to wear life jackets, but in Nicole's class racers were not required to wear them. Some windsurfers see life jackets as too constricting. But Nicole Level said she would wear one from now on.
Judges gave Rasmus Sayre good standing in the regatta, even though he had dropped out of the first race Saturday morning to rescue Nicole Level.
"At the end of the regatta, he narrowly missed first place overall in his age group and ended with a second overall," Nevin Sayre.
For Rasmus Sayre it was the most thrilling second place he had ever won.
"This was such an amazing experience," he said.
Meanwhile, the windsurfing Sayre family is busy making plans to attend the world junior windsurfing championship in San Francisco in July, followed by the Nationals in Chatham in August.

- Year
- 1977
Dial-a-President radio program airs
On this day in 1977, the Dial-a-President radio program, featuring President Jimmy Carter and CBS news anchorman Walter Cronkite, airs for the first time. The brainchild of Cronkite and CBS, the March 5 show was a test-run to see if the program could be successful. (Carter's official papers refer to the show as Ask President Carter.)
After a 20-minute practice session, Carter and Cronkite went live on the air with Carter answering calls from all over the country from his desk in the Oval Office. Approximately 9 million calls flooded the CBS radio studio during the first two-hour broadcast. Questions covered a range of subjects from Carter's pardon for "draft-dodgers" to the Panama Canal Treaty to why Carter chose to let his daughter Amy attend a public school instead of a private school in Washington, D.C.
The informal nature of the show suited the equally informal President Carter, who frequently opted to wear comfortable sweaters instead of business suits while working. He appeared to enjoy the call-in session, agreeing to return for another show. Afterwards, he commented that the callers' questions were "the kind that you would never get in a press conference. I think it's very good for me to understand directly from the American people what they are concerned about."
After the show, the president, Cronkite, CBS executives and radio technicians met in the White House's Roosevelt Room for a follow-up assessment of the program; it was pronounced a success. Though it did not air again, a very accessible and genuinely interested Carter continued conversations via phone with two of the show's callers in the days after the first airing.

Absolutely! If you would like any of my prints or stickers without the wording just let me know (note to seller box) and I will remove it for free.
Yes. However, keep in mind that for the burlap prints and stickers, less lettering will be easier to read. If you have a lot of characters you want to add to a print consider ordering the larger version for readability.
I highly recommend black for burlap prints as other colors are not as bold on the burlap background. If you want a specific color scheme, I'd recommend having it printed on the fine art paper.

I don't. The primary reason I don't offer framing is that shipping costs are too high and frame prices at places like Target, Hobby Lobby, etc...are very reasonable. Plus, I like giving my customers the option of customizing their prints with a frame of their choice.
Yes. Whenever someone fills out a gift message during checkout I add a custom made gift note to their package (see photo on the listings). Also, the packing slip (prices / etc) will not be included with gift packages.
I can replace the O with a heart on my black silhouette prints (not on stickers or colorful prints). Just make a note to me in the "note to seller" box and I will make that change.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A seven-point performance by Kaitlin Ellis helped propel Williams College to a 12-5 victory over MIT in a non-conference women's lacrosse game on Thursday night. Ellis racked up three goals, four assists, two groundballs, and two caused turnovers for the Ephs, who improved to 7-4 on the year. Erica Little led the Engineers (7-4) with two goals and added two groundballs.
Just 28 seconds after the opening draw, Ellis found Sam Weinstein to put the visitors on the board. Little netted the equalizer on a free-position attempt seven minutes later. Williams countered with an unassisted goal from Ellis and a strike by Whitney Kelly that was set up by Margie Fulton. MIT quickly cut its deficit in half (3-2) when Kelly Duncan found Laura Wacker at the 17:07 mark. The Ephs responded with three straight goals to gain some breathing room. Ellis earned assists on goals by Taylor Fleishhacker and Tracey Ferriter while Meera Sivalingam notched a free-position goal midway through the spurt. Duncan's free-position goal brought the Cardinal and Gray within three (6-3), but Anne Marie Burke converted a feed from Ellis with just over five minutes left before the intermission.
A solo effort by Katie Kauffman early in the second stanza kept MIT within striking distance. Williams replied with a Weinstein free-position shot and an unassisted goal from Ellis that were 1:08 apart. Little converted her second free-position attempt of the night as she narrowed the gap to four (9-5) with 22:46 remaining. The Ephs pulled away with three unanswered goals that capped the scoring with 15:54 on the clock. Ellis provided an unassisted goal as Sivalingam redirected a pass from Burke. Ferriter found Fulton for the final goal of the game.
Duncan finished with one goal and one assist while Wacker and Kauffman chipped in one goal each. Allison Hamilos gathered 10 saves and six groundballs for the Engineers as Alex Wright posted three caused turnovers and two groundballs. Lauren Rodda contributed two groundballs and a caused turnover while Molly McCartin totaled three groundballs and one caused turnover.
Weinstein and Sivalingam both recorded two goals as Weinstein scooped up two groundballs. Ferriter tallied four groundballs, two caused turnovers, one goal, and one assist while Burke notched three groundballs, one goal, and one assist. Fulton registered one goal and one assist as Kelly and Fleishhacker both found the back of the net once. In net, Julia Schreiber collected six saves, including four stops on free-position shots in the second half.
Both squads return to conference action on Saturday, April 17. MIT will host NEWMAC foe Mount Holyoke College while Williams will visit NESCAC rival Wesleyan University.

Jan. 09--ROSEMARY BEACH -- This weekend in Rosemary Beach was a chance for Belinda Washington to unwind.
She and her husband Dedric Washington, an Army veteran, arrived at the Rosemary Beach Inn on Thursday after driving several hours from Alabama. They and four other veteran couples planned to stay until Monday while on a smaller version of the Warrior Beach Retreat, which typically hosts getaways for veterans and their spouses in the spring and fall in Panama City Beach as a show of gratitude and chance to heal.
Washington called the trip "amazing" since they got to meet other veteran couples and her husband came out his usual shell to bond with the guys. Talking to couples they could relate to was refreshing and gave her hope, she said.
"We're sharing stories, and the stories are alike," Washington said. "We're bonding. We're having a quality time."
Her husband agreed and said "besides the weather" the getaway was a blast.
"It's been a pleasure," Dedric Washington said. "We're hearing each other's stories. It's refreshing to run across a fellow veteran. You don't feel so lonely."
He served as a military police officer from 1999 to 2010 and praised Retreat founder and President Linda Cope and her family, who run the trips, as great people who he hoped prosper.
Cope said she is grateful that the Inn and restaurants donated rooms and food for the veterans. Several other veteran couples went on a similarly intimate retreat in Miramar Beach in December.
"It helps strengthen their marriages," Cope said. "People on this retreat have already been on a major retreat."

I know right? Who would even care about the story of RE at this point taking in consideration how borked the English translation is in pretty much all the games. Or so some hardcore fans of series say.
I don't know what you mean by "borked translation", I never had a problem u.derstanding the story. It's actually a bit simple for some massive conspiracy theory of a bioweapon engineered by some major company.
If anything the story is perhaps lacking in terms of depth, but it's easy to follow.
This might satisfyyour curiosity about the modes.

AUSTIN >> In the wake of the car crash that killed two and injured dozens Thursday morning at South By Southwest, members of the Colorado music scene are looking to give back to victims.
Colorado Music Party is asking for donations during its two day showcase at SXSW. Between each band — 30 in total — event organizers are asking the crowded two-stage venue to give some money for a charity that is yet to be determined.
"This is a wonderful way for us to give back to SXSW," said Dani Grant whose local band incubator SpokesBuzz is one organization sponsoring the event.
"We woke up this morning frantically counting my chickens' heads making sure everyone was safe," Grant Said. "We're lucky enough that everyone part of our showcase is safe."
CMP, which is being held on Sixth Street in the heart of SXSW, is flying its Colorado-inspired flag at half mast today.
CMP plans to announce how much it collected and which charity will benefit from the donations on Saturday.

When Daniel Osborne asked his boss to help his National Guard unit, Robert White didn't give it a second thought.
White, EMS community relations coordinator at Piedmont Medical Center, assembled medical supplies for the 430th Engineer Fire-Fighting Team of the N.C. Army National Guard to use for training.
The 430th's principal job is fighting fires, but its members also serve as medics.
On Monday, in the lobby of the hospital's women's tower, White's generosity and commitment to helping those in need were not second thoughts as he was given the Patriot Award from the Department of Defense.

"Robert is always helping you out, whether it's on the job or in the community," said Osborne, a sergeant in the 430th and an emergency room technician who also works on PMC's ambulances. "It's nice to give something back to him."
The award was presented by the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve office at the Department of Defense, which recognizes employers committed to assisting employees who serve in the National Guard or Reserve.
"I'm shocked," White said. "This is not about what I've done, but what PMC has done."
Dr. Perry C. Hopkins, state vice chairman of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve and a 44-year veteran of military and civil service, presented the award to White.
"There is a sense of honor in receiving it and in presenting it," Hopkins said. "Few people receive it."
The Patriot Award goes to people who support "our nation," he said, but in White's case, it's also for his commitment to "serving other people."
The award means more to him, White said, given his own military background. He served in the Navy from 1982 to 1986, working as a radioman 2nd class aboard the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier. He then served three years in the Reserves. Two years after leaving active service, he went to work for Piedmont.

The Journal of Effective Teaching, a peer-reviewed electronic journal devoted to the discussion of teaching excellence in colleges and universities, is calling (PDF) for papers for a special issue on the teaching of evolution in a university setting.
House Bill 656, introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on February 10, 2009, and not yet referred to a committee, is the latest antievolution "academic freedom" bill.
The executive committee of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology decided not to hold any future meetings in New Orleans owing to "the official position of the state in weakening science education and specifically attacking evolution in science curricula," according to a February 5, 2009, letter (PDF) from SICB's president, Richard Satterlie, to Louisiana's governor Bobby Jindal.
Oklahoma's Senate Bill 320, the so-called Scientific Education and Academic Freedom Act, died in committee on February 16, 2009, according to a
report in the Tulsa World (February 17, 2009).

There are things in life I'll never really understand. Like how or why anyone would need to send 800 text messages in one day. Why people need unlimited calling on their cell, etc. To start with, I don't have time to text 800 times a day, and since I haven't yet learned to do it with my toes (apparently teenagers can), while also painting my nails and working, then I'm going to have to pass. When I switched to tmobile, I signed up for the MyFaves plan, that allows you to call five of your favorite people an unlimited amount of time. Then you have minutes for everyone else. The lady wanted to sell my 1000 minutes. I disagreed, pointing out that the five people were likly the only ones I'd call 99% of the time.
When MySpace first started, I was writing and had sold a book, and everyone insisted that I was missing out on the viral marketing event of a lifetime, so I NEEDED a page. Yeah. My first thought was "I don't have time to mess with building a MySpace page. I need to be writing books." My second thought was "And then I'd have to get FRIENDS." But I spent a weekend cussing over the software and finally put up a page. I have no idea how many friends I have, but they kept showing up. BTW - I don't think I've actually looked at that page in almost a year.
Have you guessed yet that I'm an overworked introvert? My workdays are seven days a week, currently 14-18 hours/day given the day job, next book and other things I'm working on. I don't have time to pee, much less to have friends. I do have a few, in case you're wondering. I call them when I'm driving to and from work because that's the only time I can't be typing. They understand - hell, they're busy people, too.
So then Facebook comes around and again, the pressure begins. So now I have a Facebook page, but again, I haven't been there in forever, except to approve people. And what the heck are tweets? Never mind. I don't think I want to know since that sounds like something that would involve answering my phone. Why do people tweet? Either some people have far more interesting lives than I do, or they're just as boring and THINK they are interesting. Do I really need to tweet everyone that I finished a page on my book, or ate a bowl of cereal, or remembered to walk the dog?
Then there's those obnoxious Christmas letters - you know the kind. Where it details out all the wonderful things that Ken, Barbie and Muffy did last year. I guess I don't see the point unless you're sending those letters to people over 80 who don't use the Internet. Nowadays, I figure anyone important already knows everything that's going on with me between the blogging and MySpacing and Facebooking and Tweeting, heck we know more about people than necessary. And those that don't know probably aren't that important and wouldn't give a whit if I sent a letter anyway.
We are fast becoming an "On Demand" society. We want every single need/want filled immediately upon thought of it. So when does anyone ever sit back and enjoy it?
You have to wonder.

Great post!
It is so hard to manage our time these days. As writers who want others to read our work, I think it is imperative that we self-market. Unfortunately, that does mean FB and MySpace and probably even twitter (even though I don't get that one). So how do we find the time to do all this and still write, write, write? How about family? We seem to be spending less and less time together.
Here's what I've decided to do. I'm going to treat all of it like a job. I have to show up between such and such time and then I punch out. The rest of my day is completely family time with no interruptions! But within that job I still have to compartmentalize, don't I? Now I have to break it down even further and that's just taking up too much of my time...again. Plus I still have to squeeze in my day job. Okay, I give up!

I have a short attention span, so I need things like twitter, blogs and email to keep me writing. I write a section, a play, I edit, then I play. It's my system.
I dont' myspace/facebook, but I do twitter. As with eveyrthing else, you either get/use twitter or you don't. I use it everday, but it just didn't work for how my cp likes to function, I suppose you could say.

I am so with you on this. I fully admit I spend too much time checking out blogs during the day, but once I get home at night, I almost never look at a blog other than the one I'm on. And even then not so much.
I'm on Facebook and do like to check once or twice a day to see what's up with friends. Of course, I also have *friends* on there I've never heard of or met. But I like Facebook because it stays right there and if a convo happens on a status, I can see it all in one place.
Twitter is much too scattered, so I only check there maybe twice a week. I have no idea how some people on there get anything done. There are people who are on there every minute that they're awake. What's up with that?!

I love Facebook. I usually have it open all day long. But I avoid MySpace like the plague unless one of the handful of people I have as friends there who aren't also on FB have something to say. And I really don't get Twitter either.
But I love love love Facebook. But maybe that's because I connected with cousins I never knew I had and we've become fast friends. :)

I joined Facebook from pressure to keep up with friends and a few authors I like (they update when a release is near). I don't tweet, I don't have a myspace and I'm staying that way!

Elle - I give up too. What I have found is that usually my health is the first thing to give. I eat bad, don't exercise, etc. Not good in the long run for anyone. But until I find a better way....

Keri - My distractions include peeing and switching from one writing job to another for variety. Every once and a while, I sleep or walk the dog. LOL

Terri - Apparently some people are superhuman, independently wealthy or live in a cardbox box with a netbook and a cell phone. That's all I can figure on the time end of things. I'm fast and hyper-efficient and still don't have time to do "most" much less "all."

Tori - Well, then I'm glad it's worked out for you. Given the family I already have, I'm in no hurry to meet more. LOL
- October 26, 2009 at 5:37 PM
- Jana DeLeon said...
Brandy - apparently myspace is dead, so you're safe on that end. I probably need to take mine down. Yet another thing to do, right?
- October 26, 2009 at 5:38 PM
- Leona said...
I have the same problem. My friend brought me kicking and screaming into the twentieth century. It's hard enough to find time to write much less all the other stuff.
However, Linda Lael Miller, whom I got to have tea with at her book signing in Ellensburg WA. (I worked with her brother :D) told me that facebook or myspace (if you have followers, this being more for the YA audience) can be used for web presence. Of course, she has her own blog, LOL
It seems to be a personal preference how you do it, but most readers want to see an online presence, I think. Has that been other's experience as well?

Don't stop posting such articles. I love to read articles like that. BTW add some pics :)

Why Shop at Warm Fuzzies Place?

The design and quality of the products are assured by the rug maker's talent, workmanship and commitment to excellence.

At Warm Fuzzies Place, you can rest assured that your requests or actual orders won't get "lost in the shuffle" or "fall between the cracks" as is often the case with a larger company.

I have been privileged to work in many cities and still find Charleston one of the most sophisticated communities when discussions focus on architecture.
And why not? This dialogue has been ongoing for over 300 years.
I have been closely following the evolution of the Spaulding Paolozzi Clemson Architecture Center, and I am enamored with and support the design — this coming from someone who practices preservation daily.
Design-wise, our historic buildings are "treasures" because they are time tested. The fabric of our community is woven with a gracious display of period architecture that celebrates our long history. I believe the Paolozzi Center will be equally celebrated as a building of its time.
Height, scale, and mass have been approved by the Board of Architectural Review. Now come the details. Examine the work of both Allied Works Architecture and E.E. Fava. Their projects are exquisitely designed, very thoughtful in the assembly of materials, with designs developed to the highest degree.
Examine the beauty of the Clyfford Still Museum and Historic Charleston Foundation offices. We are fortunate to have the local talent of Eddie Fava coupled with the international perspective of Brad Cloepfil.
There is no question that with the continued evolution of its design, the Paolozzi Center will become a modern masterpiece, in the same context as our U.S. Custom House and Old Exchange Building are historical masterpieces.
Paraphrasing Steve Jobs, great architecture lives at the intersection of technology and design. The legacy of our historic buildings has proven this time and again.
The Paolozzi Center is a great concept, the detailing will make it a great building, and the dialogue will continue to make us a healthy community.

What an awful looking building. How can Clemson President James Barker actually say the Clemson Architecture Center will "stand the test of time" with a straight face?

It should be stated that the Affordable Care Act or Romney/Obamacare is for persons who do not have health care. So those of us who do, including all of Congress and the administration, do not need to apply for the program. This seems to be a very difficult concept for some.
Those persons who do not have health care through loss of job; employer doesn't provide it; cannot afford it; or have been declined coverage because of serious health issues, are now going to be able to check out insurance that will be affordable and accessible. (Unfortunately, some poor people in South Carolina will not be able to access or apply for Medicaid and subsidies because our state refuses to accept federal funds to help this program. A travesty.)
So, be clear that if you are lucky enough to have health care, this program is not for you unless you choose to change.
Evidently some of those who have are not interested in seeing the thousands who do not have. Very sad indeed.

I'm not a gun collector and really don't know much about them. But based on increased violence I thought it was prudent to buy one for protection.
I looked for advice from gun-owner friends and chose a "congressional" gun. It looked really sleek although it was a bit expensive but I thought it would be worth it.
Oh man. Trouble from the beginning. It doesn't work and I can't fire it. It just jams up whenever I need to use it.
And little did I know there is an as-is warranty. No returns.
Next time I'll choose a little more wisely.

A recent letter to the editor criticized the National Rifle Association for its opposition to a United Nations treaty to limit international arms trafficking.
The Arms Trade Treaty was opposed by the Bush administration but signed by Secretary of State John Kerry and awaits Senate ratification.
It would establish an international gun registration system that could become the first step in disarming American citizens and destroying the U.S. firearms industry.
The U.N. and the world do not give one whit for our Second Amendment rights, and the treaty could impact sales and technology to our allies, such as Israel and Taiwan.
Kerry said, "This is about keeping America safe and America strong and promoting peace and global security." Someone please explain how undermining our constitutional rights is going to keep America safe and strong.
Is America going to trust the U.N. (given its record of failures and given it has members who are some of the worst human rights violators in the world) with a registry of American gun owners and expect it not to try and disarm the U.S.?
A treaty cannot override the Second Amendment, but an administration that is a strong advocate for gun control could use it to issue executive orders to restrict firearms sales and ownership. This treaty is completely unnecessary.
The U.S. already operates under strict arms export regulations, which even Hillary Clinton, a strong supporter of the treaty and gun control, admits "is the gold standard of export control for arms transfer." Contact our senators and tell them to oppose ratification of the Arms Trade Treaty.

I read on the front page of the Oct. 7 Post and Courier about a true American hero, a 1970s Vietnam War medic whose heroics included saving his men on a battlefield.
Contrast that with our tyrannical president who showed his true lack of respect for our brave men and women who fought in battle and died for our country by directing open air memorials, parks, waterways and parkways to be shut down in order to inflict as much undue pain on Americas citizens as possible.
President Barack Obama is a small man who continues to show his disdain for America and his utter lack of leadership.
I remember the mood of America after Nixon's Watergate and the malaise that was the Carter presidency. The mood of America today is far worse than that ever was.
This president continues to drive a wedge between people of all faiths, politics, colors, and beliefs. Our presidential uniter has become America's divider.

The Rev. Edward Robinson (Rob) Dewey, founder, director and senior chaplain of the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy, received this year's Humanitarian Award from La Société Française de Bienfaisance (commonly known as the French Society). This award, originally created in 1981, is given annually by the French Society to an individual who greatly improves the human condition either in his community or the world at large.
The French Society's motto is "to give succor to those in misfortune." Rev. Dewey embodies that motto, as he works tirelessly every day at Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy to offer comfort and ministry to first responders, victims and the general public in times of crisis.
The CCC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization started by Rev. Dewey in 1990 and dedicated to "providing a calming, trusted 'ministry of presence' during times of need."
We in the coastal area of South Carolina are very blessed to have this ministry flourish in our midst. And we all join in congratulating its founder, leader and continuing inspiration, Rev. Rob Dewey.

KR update, As we say down here in the South. Since the Gathering I've been busier than a cat in a sandbox. Everything came due at once. I had to get my medical renewed, annual the KR, annual the Cessna 150, get my bi-annual flight review and tail wheel endorsement. As some of you already know, I am a self taught tailwheel/KR pilot. Since I had to get a biannual anyway, I went looking for an instructor that was not only brave enough to ride with me but could also sign me off on the tailwheel endorsement. So as of yesterday afternoon I am officially a tailwheel endorsed pilot. So glad to have all this behind me and looking forward to burning up some gas.

I love the color scheme of your army and this mech looks really cool! Someone said something about it taking off from the legs and I wonder if you could build multiple legs it could sit on? Maybe some tank treads or something like that? I really like the body but the legs seem a little bit unwieldy (obviously, cause mechs don't make sense outside of looking cool). I just have this image of the body zooming around and attaching to alternate leg pieces as necessity demands.
Anyway I like this a lot and I wish you could take clearer pictures and post them!

As hand-scrawled letters to Santa Claus make their way to the North Pole, menorahs find their way to the counter, and Christmas trees go up in the living room, thoughts across America are turning toward one topic: presents. The newest cell phone, the newest television, the newest fashions – we are making our lists of the things we want for the new year.
In James Roberts' timely volume, Shiny Objects: Why We Spend Money We Don't Have in Search of Happiness We Can't Buy, we are invited to check our lists twice – and then cross things off.
On one of the first pages of "Shiny Objects," Roberts asks: "Why, in a land of the plenty, do Americans want more? And why is more never enough?" This is the question that "Shiny Objects" aims to answer. Through research studies, statistics, and history lessons, Roberts describes how "as consumers, we're not who we think we are" – how what we say (that relationships and happiness are important to us) is often at odds with what we do (spend money or spend time working to make money), and how exactly Americans got to this point.
It all starts, Roberts tells us, with the American Dream.
"The traditional message of the American Dream was that through hard work, frugality, and sacrifice, anyone could achieve financial independence," he writes. "Somehow we lost our way on the road to that dream.… Dreams of easy money have replaced hard work, thrift, and self-sacrifice."
As Roberts takes us through America's history – a section of the book that lags at times – we find clues to how and why we are in this predicament: from the California Gold Rush of 1848 (which helped promote America's "get rich quick" attitude), to General Motors' introduction of yearly style changes ("Americans wanted to have a car … that could say something about who they were or what their socioeconomic status was"), to the federal government's legislation regarding homeownership. "It is truly a legacy of shame," Roberts writes.
If history isn't enough to convince us we've gone awry, the research and statistics on happiness and materialism could do it. There are the experiments that show people with more money are less willing to help someone in need, and that people need to be merely reminded of money to be less generous. There's the Life Satisfaction poll, which shows that Forbes magazine's "richest Americans" are equally as happy – but no more so – than the Pennsylvania Amish or Inuit tribe of Northern Greenland.
Then there are studies that show materialism is associated with higher social anxiety, self-criticism, and time spent unhappy, and the ones that show "materialists report more headaches, colds, and bouts of flu than their less materialistic counterparts."
According to "Shiny Objects," one of the major contributors to our materialistic attitudes, and especially money problems, is plastic. "Easily available credit has been our Achilles' heel," Roberts reports. Research has shown that credit cards not only increase the amount we're willing to pay on products and tips, but that, just as the reminder of money makes us less giving, a subtle reminder of credit cards is enough to increase the amount we're willing to pay for items and reduce the time needed to decide whether or not to buy something.
"The more we use credit cards to make purchases, the more we become 'conditioned' to spend, so that eventually credit cards logos and credit cards themselves gain the ability to elicit spending on their own – a frightening scenario that portrays consumers as unthinking zombies conditioned to spend mechanically when exposed to stimuli," Roberts writes.
As we come to face our own materialism, we are thrown one bone: it's not all our fault. The factors working to make us materialistic are plenty. There's genetics, for one, which can contribute to how much self-control we have and how happy we are. And then there are the marketers and advertisers who have helped to swindle us. Since the advent of radio, then through television, movies, video games and now word of mouth, marketers and advertisers are everywhere – selling us products by convincing us life would be better with them.
"Many market appeals seek specifically to foster insecurity," Roberts says. "Does my breath smell? Do I have BO? Does my car tell the world how worthwhile an individual I am? You get the picture: if we can foster a feeling of insecurity of self-doubt, a sale is soon to follow."
Though most of Roberts book paints a grim picture of America's consumer-bent culture, hope is just a few pages away. The best part about Roberts' book may be the last three chapters where Roberts offers concrete steps every one of us can take to regain control of our finances and happiness. "Consider a 'plastectomy,'" he suggests. "'Ban temptation from the house.' 'Pull the plug on the TV.' Punish bad behavior and reward good behavior."
He never said it would be easy.
"Shiny Objects" is, without a doubt, a difficult book to read, especially during the holiday season. It points fingers at you, inspires shame, and asks you to change your outlook on life. Though Roberts can sometimes seem overbearingly judgmental at times (it is difficult to look at our materialistic selves in the mirror), he wins us over with his arguments, his knowledge, and his genuine interest in helping to make us happier people. At its core, Roberts' book is about achieving true happiness. In the midst of its talk of consumerism, materialism, advertising, product placement, and debt, we learn the trick to avoiding unhappiness: Be content with what we have instead of always needing more.
If you've ever wondered how to make your life simpler, fuller, happier, and how to save money in the process – if you've ever asked yourself, "Is this the life I want to live?" – then "Shiny Objects" may just be the most important item you put on your wish list this year.

The Magic of Ben McIver
Saxophonist opens Saturday Night Jazz Series at Seasons
Native son Ben McIver needs to perform more often. Not because he needs the practice, though he might tell you otherwise. Not because he's an excellent player, though he is. But so we can hear more of his elegant jazz compositions eloquently played.
You can catch the Ben McIver Quartet playing originals, new and old, and standards this Saturday on the rooftop patio at Seasons Rotisserie and Grill, with guitarist Lewis Wynn, bassist Dan Spanogle and drummer Rick Compton.
"My rule is to always hire the musicians that are twice as good as you," says McIver, a big, unhurried man. "It really forces you not to show up with any bullshit."
After 15 years away, McIver showed up in Albuquerque again in 2002. He had an economics degree from Morehouse in Atlanta and no interest in economics. He'd studied with jazz masters Reggie Workman and Charles Tolliver, among others, at The New School in New York, toured in Charli Persip's big band and learned that the road did not agree with him.
"I really saw myself as being part of this music in a different capacity, other than just what they call a gunslinger," he says.
He planned to spend a couple months in Albuquerque getting his chops together and plotting his next move. While deciding where to go next, he rediscovered his hometown.
Today, McIver serves as assistant director of the New Mexico Jazz Workshop, spreading the jazz gospel. "It's a mission I love," he says.
At the workshop, in the shower—just about anywhere—McIver pursues another love. "Just always composing," he says. "That seems to be my talent, more so than anything else."
He pulls influences from a diverse musical background that stretches from classical through hip-hop, but what informs all of his work is a conversational quality that pulls the listener in, a roominess that allows players to stretch out, and genuine emotional content.
Emotional integrity also drives his playing. "The magic part of [playing] is ... you have to sing. I was always enamored of Marvin Gaye, who doesn't necessarily have the best voice, but you can't beat him for any type of feeling. I try to remember that in my playing. Instead of playing something technically amazing, I get my inspiration basically from taking a breath and listening to the band and giving them what they give me."

We don't have a specific color scheme in mind. Be creative and give us something we can be proud of.

...Here are some restorations of Pterosaurs over the ages - some accurate, some..... well, to quote Borat, NOT SO MUCH! Everyone seems to have different theories on how Pterosaurs looked, particularly their walking posture and where the wings attached - and there's a wide range of interpretations of the fossil evidence. So I'm posting the whole gamut of them here, and you be the judge. Here are some of the most memorable ones:
Dimorphodon by Gareth Monger
Pterodactylus kochi by John Conway, in a more recent free-legged configuration
Ornithocheirus with hypothetical "bat wing" model (wings connecting to ankles). Source: Walking with Dinosaurs TV series.
Quetzalcoatlus northropi and the Chicxulub impact by Douglas Henderson (look closely and you'll see the legs are free of the wings).
Anhanguera piscator by John Conway - a prime example of the free-legged model
Tupandactylus imperator by Mark Witton - quadrupedal "bat" model
Peteinosaurus (by an unknown artist) - a cross between hip attachment and the "flying squirrel" model sometimes proposed for rhamphorhynchoids.
Ornithocheiroid pterosaurs by Mauricio Anton (I'm not sure of all the species, but the one on the left looks like Anhanguera or Criorhynchus, while the one on the right is clearly something else.)
Pteranodon models (life size, sculptor unknown) with knee-attached wing membranes based on recent research. The legs look like they have some odd wing-wetsuit on... but overall pretty elegant.
Anurognathus by Mark Witton. Note the bat-like extension of the wings all the way to the ankles.
Four Cretaceous Pterosaurs by John Bindon - Clockwise from top: Tapejara, Tupuxuara, Ornithocheirus, Anhanguera. This painting follows the hip-attached or knee-attached wings model
Pteranodon ingens (female) skeletal by Gregory S. Paul (in Paul, 1991: The Many Myths, Some Old, Some New, of Dinosaurology). Paul supports the theory that the short tail of Pterodactyloids was not totally lost because it was retained as an attachment point for the wing membranes.
A great reference for drawing takeoff poses and modern restorations with wings NOT attaching to the legs.
Hint: shhhhh....Mark Witton, Greg Paul, and all the "experts" don't want me to tell you this... but this is what pterosaurs REALLY looked like (:P)
``******+**** <> ****+******``
Just kidding. Well, there's my cheesy little unicode Pteranodon! lolz. Seriously though, don't draw them like this.

I would like to get this VersaFeed app but not sure what I need to do?

Hey Linda,
Thanks for the comment. VersaFeed can be a very effective tool. You can read more here (http://apps.shopify.com/versafeed). Cheers!
April 04 2011, 02:58PM
I have an adult online business through shopify…but Im in Australia.We are a brand new store and as such have very little expendible cash for advertising etc. Any suggestions?
Im absolutely lost trying to navigate "google adwords" and the like.
April 04 2011, 02:58PM
Need more information on how to get this app rolling…
April 04 2011, 02:58PM
This is something I have been looking for for a long time, one place that covers all of the main data feed shopping engines. Google Product Search is already included and I'd love to add the rest but I am also struggling with the price per month also, especially when it is only an introductory price.
April 04 2011, 02:58PM
I think this is a great service but the price is just too high. They are offering this service starting at $99 a month and that is only an introductory price for the first two months.
This is another case of us users having to pay money for an app that does something that shopify should be including in the price we already pay of for a nominal fee.
April 04 2011, 02:58PM
I'd be interested in this but pricing is way too high especially as an 'trial' offer. I'd pay maximum $19.99 a months and I'd expect at least one free month trial. Look around at other SAAS offerings- they are much cheaper and do a lot more. And I'm guessing this sort of product feed requires minimal human intervention, especially after initial setup. Rethink your business model guys.
July 13 2011, 08:56PM
Yes, i agree, the price is the problem, i was going to give it a go but was advised that there is a minimum of 6 months contract $99 for the first two months then $229 per month thereafter! not willing to give it a go just yet, come on developers there is a fortune to be made here, do it right for $50 per month and i am in for a 12 month contract!
September 01 2011, 04:08PM
I'm the owner of VersaFeed and appreciate all the valuable feedback left here.
I wanted to comment on the pricing issue. There are definitely cheaper solutions out there but they are all self-service, not monitored, Q/A'd, categorized, or kept up to specification.
For example, Google Merchant Center is continuously changing their specs, and we are continuously updating our clients to match those spec. Most one-off solutions will not do this.
In addition, we actively monitor product listings to insure that your items are indeed live. It's surprising how often people using other solutions think they are listing when in fact they are not.
There are heaps of other small things that we do, but the sum of the whole is that when you utilize VersaFeed, you're getting a managed solution where you don't have to worry about shopping engines problems, period. This may not be what every merchant needs, but it definitely fits for many retailers on the market today.

When Lipscomb University center Justin Glenn walked off of Don Meyer Court for the last time there was a tear in his eye.
The sadness wasn't over the fact he had fouled out of the game Monday night with ETSU with 1:28 left to play. But the realization that he would never take another shot or grab another rebound at Allen Arena was an emotional one for him.
"This team has been such a major part of my life for the past four years," Glenn said. "To see it come to a close is bittersweet.
"I have my future to look forward to, but basketball has been something I have done since I was five or six years old."
Glenn's senior season isn't over yet. But he knows the number of games has already dwindled down to a precious few. The Bison open the Atlantic Sun Championship Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. central against host and the No. 2-seeded Mercer Bears. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3 and 102.5 The Game.
After playing in the shadow of Adnan Hodzic for the previous two years, Glenn became a starter and has been one of the top rebounders in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Sometimes, Glenn admits, his patience wore thin as he sat and waited, especially since he had enjoyed a great deal of playing time as a freshman at Centenary. He transferred from Centenary after his freshman season and spent a year at Lipscomb as a redshirt while recovering from knee surgery.
"I had an opportunity to have the majority of the playing time this season at the forward and center positions," Glenn said. "I tried to put a lot of work in and stayed patient during my time here knowing that my time would come.
"I tried to put the team first. I knew we had a good chance to win with Adnan. It was tough, especially when you have always been a main player your whole life. It was a humbling experience."
Set to begin his accounting career
Glenn's basketball career may soon be over in Nashville, but his future career will keep him here after he graduates. Glenn has already accepted an offer from the accounting firm of Deloitte and Touche. He will start his new position in August after finishing his final two classes at Lipscomb.
Glenn, from Tulsa, Okla., spent last summer as an intern in the Nashville offices of Deloitte and Touche. He compares being recruited to work as an accountant as very similar to what it was like to be recruited to become a college basketball player.
"I like the people at Deloitte and I feel like I fit in well with all of the people there," Glenn said. "Thankfully, they liked me enough to offer me a full-time job. I'm very blessed, especially with the current economic climate.
"It wasn't that much different than being recruited in college. I was trying to sell myself to Deloitte and let them know why I would be a good fit."
Balancing a 40-to-50 hour work week with offseason workouts and dealing with the incoming freshmen as team captain made last summer a challenging one for Glenn.
"I was working out in the mornings at 6, going to work all day and playing basketball at night," Glenn said. "It kind of took a toll on me. It was tough to be fully-invested in both."
Glenn did not plan on pursuing an accounting degree when he arrived at Lipscomb. He planned to major in both biology and management with a plan of going to chiropractic school. But he decided he didn't want to be a chiropractor but he wanted to own his own business.
"I thought about a double major in exercise science and management with a plan to open my own gym," Glenn said. "But then I decided it would be best for me to get an accounting degree.
"I had my first accounting class here with Charles Frasier. It just clicked. I enjoyed it."
A great place to prepare
Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson tells his players when they arrive on campus as freshmen that the next four years will set them up for the rest of their lives. Glenn has listened to what Sanderson has said the past few years.
While most of his fellow students were relaxing on the weekends, Glenn and a small group of friends would spend every other weekend immersed in their studies in an effort to keep up.
"I wanted to make the most of my educational experience," Glenn said.
There is no question that he has done that. He plans to take the first part of the CPA exam in April.
"He, more or less, leads by example by who is he is, what he stands for and what he represents," Sanderson said. "He is a great ambassador for the school and his family.
"You have to have your priorities in line. You can't be out of whack in any area. If you do, you are going to struggle. Justin has had a very good balance in his life and consequently he is going to be rewarded for it."
Sanderson rates Glenn as the epitome of a student-athlete.
"He has good focus for his age," Sanderson said. "He is a very conscientious kid. He wants to do the right things. He is an unbelievable student. He will do very well in the real world."

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for expressing interest in our systems we are glad to hear you are considering us as an option despite the fact that we are so far away. There may be different options for shipping, the least costly option would probably be to look into a freight forwarder however I will give you the UPS rate to ship it directly from us to you. You will receive Practical after the sale service, as well as anyone who lived in the United States. We actually just have one facility in Syracuse, New York so we do all of our consulting, designing and trouble shooting from this location no matter where you are in the world. The 50hz units are compatible in Australia.
- 1. The Super Dust Deputy would cost $289.00. If shipped via UPS the cost would be $523.24
- 2. The 50hz model is compatible in Australia. I have attached information on the 2hp 50hz V system. It would look slightly different…. This is an old picture. See the current web picture of the V system for actual design. Pricing is included in the document. Shipping to your post code via UPS would be $2817.93.
Again, your best option is to check with a freight forwarding company. If you do check, I would be very interested to hear the pricing that was determined. If you are interested in the galvanized steel cyclones for a 2hp/1500 cfm dust collector you would use the C950 cyclone. The cost for that cyclone is $446.52. Shipping to your post code would be $1173.85
Please feel free to contact me directly with additional questions about any of our units or concerns about dust collection in general. I look forward to hearing your feedback.
Thank you,

Something similar happened previously with a Competitive Cyclist ad and a pair of Oakley's [Editor: And a priest and a nun? Just asking...] (see below), but this is different enough that I don't know if I should interpret it as a sign of impending consumer folly or a not-so-subtle nudge pushing me to spend my hard-won shekels (sheqel, Hebrew: שקל, pl. shekels, sheqels, sheqalim, Hebrew: שקלים) on a phone that one reviewer describes as (paraphrasing) the sexiest, most beautiful tragedy of a smartphone ever. Thoughts? (Besides that this post is much ado about nothing...)
HTC HD2 - it's pretty freakin' hot for a phone
The Competitive Cyclist ad - Hey I'm a Believer
If you made it to the bottom of the post, I just wanted to apologize for sucking you in on what was the blog post equivalent of the movie "Pearl Harbor" - a vapid entry that struggles to hang meat onto Pappillon's bones on a day without confirmed news of a major doping scandal (on the other hand, I've supposedly got at least 180 potential doping scandals brewing here, but, according to some, am the bastard of bastards for not posting what would basically be the raw material for my book (amongst other things, depending on who's counting) and starting to name names - pfft! Let's hope that the UCI kicks Swiss Federation ass and succeeds in completing their persecution of the hapless Jan Ullrich, who more and more to me seems like an East German version of the Michelin Man crossed with the Pillsbury Dough Boy - just leave him alone already...
