BONIFAY — It's that time again — the time of year that brings anywhere between 17,000 to 50,000 people to Bonifay.
It's time for Northwest Florida's largest rodeo and event, the 69th annual Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo.
"We've got a variety of shows lined up that is going to be good," said Rodeo Chairman Charlie Lawry. "We've got our new Stock Contractor, 4L & Diamond S Rodeo Co. and number of special guests including Announcer Jerry Todd, Clown and Barrelman Lecile Harris, Bull Fighters Matt Baldwin and Buddy Bush and Specialty Acts Gena Cox, Melody McCray and Jessica Blair. We've also got Kevin Matais on the scoreboard and Mark Evans on sound."
Lawry confirmed that the Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo held in Bonifay every October was the largest rodeo in this part of the country.
"Most rodeos in this area go for two days tops but to go for three days straight is rare for this area," he said. "This rodeo is also nationally known for its grass and Grand Entry. The only other grass arena is in Oregon."
Grass had its advantages and disadvantages, explained Lawry.
"A lot of riders and participants don't like grass because there's not as much grip as dirt, that's why barrel racing isn't done as much as it use to at the rodeo," he said. "Personally I like it because I find it more of a challenge and I like a good challenge."
He gave an update on the rodeo circuit, saying the rules had changed as far as how many rodeos count towards the national competition.
"It use to be that you could go to as many rodeos you wanted to and it would count towards the nationals," said Lawry. "Now they've limited it to 85 rodeos so the participants have been a little more selective of where they ride."
The rodeo will start at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 Thursday through Saturday at Memorial Field.
Bonifay Kiwanis President-Elect Sandy Spear provided some of the latest news at the Bonifay Kiwanis Club's Sept. 18 meeting.
"We are just so excited about what this year has to offer," said Spear. "We now have tickets available online and we've just sold our first tickets online. We're also offering for the first time ever VIP tickets."
She said that with the VIP tickets the ticket holders get preferred parking behind the concession stands, a commemorative cushion with specialized seating at the bull gates, someone to run to and from the concession stands for food and beverages and a back arena pass allowing visitors to meet the riders and take pictures with barrel men, clowns, etc.
"We're limiting it to 100 VIP tickets per night," said Spear. "This really gives them a chance to feel like VIPs. This idea was brought to us by our new stock contractor."
Another new aspect that had Spear saying she was excited was the largest raffle prize they've ever offered.
"We're so excited," said Spear. "We've decided to do a package with two tickets for the two night National Rodeo in Las Vegas, a room at the world famous Las Vegas Hotel The Flamingo, two pairs of Miss Me Jeans and a 50/50 raffle where the money raised will be halved with the winner to help with travel expenses to Las Vegas. Tickets are one for $5, three for $10 or 7 for $20 and signup will be held Thursday and Friday night and will be drawn Saturday; you don't have to be present to win."
For more information or online ticket purchases visit www.bonifaykiwanisrodeo.com. Tickets are also available at Community South Credit Union, Doc's Market, First Federal Bank of Florida, Bowen Hardware, Piggly Wiggly and the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce.
"Remember, the more money we make at this rodeo the more money we'll have for scholarships," said Spear. "This is a non-profit event that is not only for our community but for our children's bright, bright future."
Kids' Night
Rodeo kicks off Thursday night with Kids' Night, where all children under the age of 10 get in free. During intermission there will be a verity of games and activities for the children to participate in including sack and stick horse races.

Tough Enough to Wear Pink
The Bonifay Kiwanis Club is once again a participant in the Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign in order to raise money aid in the fight against breast cancer, which means there will be thousands showing their support by wearing pink on Saturday night.

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. It could be another long offseason for New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick when it comes to keeping tabs on Rob Gronkowski. The start of the 2013 NFL season may be a full seven months away, but it's no secret that the Patriots like their players to keep a low profile regardless of what time of the year it is. As we learned last offseason, Gronk has very little interest in doing that. New England's season ended just two weeks ago. Gronk currently has a cast on his forearm after he broke it again in the AFC Championship Game and needed a second surgery. If you aren't familiar with the Patriots tight end, you might think something like that would stop him from dancing on stage at a club in Las Vegas and giving someone a Stone Cold stunner. As TMZ pointed out, it did not. But that didn't stop him from executing a Stone Cold Stunner-esque move on a friend during a playful dance battle at XS nightclub last night. As Gronkowski was throwing his friend to the ground, the tight end — who was wearing a protective sleeve on his busted wing — also crashed to the ground and smacked his damaged arm on the stage in the process. This is already the second time Gronk has been spotted partying with his shirt off since the season ended, which on the surface is no big deal. However, I highly doubt Belichick and the Patriots want to see him wrestling while his forearm that may not have healed properly the first time around heals again. My guess is he'll be hearing from someone within the organization if he didn't already. The post Rob Gronkowski spotted dancing shirtless, wrestling in Las Vegas (Video) appeared first on Larry Brown Sports. Related posts: Rob Gronkowski broke forearm again, out for playoffs Rob Gronkowski, Matt Light danced shirtless on stage after Patriots' loss (Pictures) Rob Gronkowski talks about dancing after Super Bowl, was 'just having fun'
Hes One Tuff Polak!
yea, there's nothing at all wrong with it ... unless he hurts his arm again, then I don't think Belicheck or the patriots organization would like that very much ... oh yea, there's that thing about Gronk's actions reflecting on the Patriots organization, I don't think they appreciate that either ... just saying ...
Too bad Drunkowski did't break his neck! What a douchebag!
Let me guess, your a New York fan.
Are you in Denial???? Get your head out of the cover!!!
The patriot superbowl where he claim he was not himself and cant contribute to the team and missed the winning catch because he hurt his knee and ankle, That same night he was dancing on it!!! Strike 1
New England put Sir Punk-grown-kowski in IR list before playoff cause he hurt his arm and possible surgery. Strike 2
Get picture taken both incident faking an injury. Strike 3
He is a overpaid crybaby and like all the other prima dona's they will crash!
I didn't realize he broke his forearm 3 times, since evidently he broke it again in a game he didn't even play in. What play in the AFC Championship did he get hurt on?
Gronk, tone it down when your in public.. Play the game off the field. Your team needs a healthy Gronk next year..
Since this imbecible has been useless and unavailable when needed in the Superbowl and AFC championship the past two years, you would think he would give a damn about disappointing the fans and his employer and maybe get under control, but no, he's "just a big fun-loving kid".
Hey Opie - the NFL is a year round job.
To me, his new name should be "trade-bait".
He can have his fun......that's all cool......but I didn't know you could just take your shirt off in bars and nightclubs?? I understand he has the physique to show off, but of you allow hiom to do it, can't an overweight guy do it too?? How about the girls?? If he can, why not them?? There has to be some sanitary issues regarding having a guy with his shirt off gyrating around and spraying his sweat onto other people and possibly into their drinks!! YUCK!!
Hey making a big deal out of this is insane. Reporters or what ever they call themselves should look for a real story, leave the guy alone. I will add if he was pulling an OJ job in Vegas that would be a story but if OJ was dancing with his shirt off mmmm sorry maybe that would be a story
Why is he always seen dancing with guys?
oh well, some day he will grow up........and take dance lessons
I almost didn't know if he was dancing or having a reaction to medication. He's just a big young pup with money having fun. I saw an espn special on him and his brothers and this is the way he's always been.
First the shirt comes off... then the whores move in...then the impregnation begins. Believe me I know !
Gronk you're a young man,dont do it, dont throw your life away !
Above comment courtesy of Ray Lewis.
No one will care if he produces in season. He needs to balance his night club and end zone dancing. Babe Ruth should become his role model

Pedestal Stand for iPad also holds your toilet paper?
February 10, 2013 | 10:08 pm
One of the things I love about my iPad is that it liberates me from the constraints of my desktop workstation and the lousy body English of using a laptop sitting on one's lap. I can use the iPad in a wide range of venues in my house and yard—pretty much anywhere within range of my Wi-Fi router. However, one place I've never used the iPad is in the bathroom, and I really have no desire to do so. My philosophy about bathroom-going is that you do what's on the agenda and move on, so to speak. But, whatever floats your...

The bit is also a unit of measurement, the information capacity of one binary digit. It has the symbol bit, or b (see discussion below).
A bit of storage can be either on (1) or off (0). A single bit is a one or a zero, a true or a false, a "flag" which is "on" or "off", or in general, the quantity of information required to distinguish two mutually exclusive equally probable states from each other. Gregory Bateson defined a bit as "a difference that makes a difference".
Bits are manipulated in the volatile memory of a computer, and can further be kept in a persistent manner on a magnetic storage device such as magnetic tape or disc, as well as on optical discs.
It is important to differentiate between the use of "bit" in referring to a discrete storage unit and the use of "bit" in referring to a statistical unit of information. The bit, as a discrete storage unit, can by definition store only 0 or 1. A statistical bit is the amount of information that, on average, can be stored in a discrete bit. It is thus the amount of information carried by a choice between two equally likely outcomes. One bit corresponds to about 0.693 nats (ln(2)), or 0.301 hartleys (log10(2)).
Consider, for example, a computer file with one thousand 0s and 1s which can be losslessly compressed to a file of five hundred 0s and 1s (on average, over all files of that kind). The original file, although having 1,000 bits of storage, has at most 500 bits of information entropy, since information is not destroyed by lossless compression. A file can have no more information theoretical bits than it has storage bits. If these two ideas need to be distinguished, sometimes the name bit is used when discussing data storage while shannon is used for the statistical bit. However, most of the time, the meaning is clear from the context.
Today the harmonized ISO/IEC IEC 80000-13:2008 standard cancels and replaces subclauses 3.8 and 3.9 of IEC 60027-2:2005 (those related to Information theory and Prefixes for binary multiples).
The other commonly-quoted relevant standard, IEEE 1541, specifies "b" to be the unit symbol for bit and "B" to be that for byte. This convention is also widely used in computing, but has so far not been considered acceptable internationally for several reasons:
The unit bel is rarely used by itself (only as decibel, "dB", which is unlikely to be confused with a decibyte), so the chances of conflict with "B" for byte are quite small, even though both units are very commonly used in the same fields (e.g., telecommunication).
"Word" is a term for a slightly larger group of bits, but it has no standard size. It represents the size of one register in a Computer-CPU. In the IA-32 architecture more commonly known as x86-32, 16 bits are called a "word" (with 32 bits being a double word or dword), but other architectures have word sizes of 8, 32, 64, 80 or others.
Terms for large quantities of bits can be formed using the standard range of SI prefixes, e.g., kilobit (kbit), megabit (Mbit) and gigabit (Gbit). Note that much confusion exists regarding these units and their abbreviations (see above).
When a bit within a group of bits such as a byte or word is to be referred to, it is usually specified by a number from 0 (not 1) upwards corresponding to its position within the byte or word. However, 0 can refer to either the most significant bit or to the least significant bit depending on the context, so the convention being used must be known.
Certain bitwise computer processor instructions (such as bit set) operate at the level of manipulating bits rather than manipulating data interpreted as an aggregate of bits.
Telecommunications or computer network transfer rates are usually described in terms of bits per second (bit/s), not to be confused with baud.

Does this have compartments for the charger as well, or only for the laptop? I'm trying to find a case that has a place for my charger.
- Asked by Stacha M from Morgantown
Greene + Gray Sleeve for MacBook
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
It has a small pocket on the outside, but it's definitely not big enough to hold the charger. I bought the case to protect my laptop inside my backpack, so I just put the charger in a different compartment. If you're gonna put this case inside another bag you'll be fine.

So lets get started:

Hi there everyone.
As you are no doubt aware, one of the true wrestling greats is facing a new battle. Watching RAW when it happened, I couldn't help but feel physically ill at what was unfolding. I was scared that, in some way, as a viewer, I'd be witnessing the possible demise of a charismatic superstar and a great colour commentator, Jerry Lawler. The news seems to be more positive

Following such a positive response to the first GWoW blog post, I felt I should continue to examine underused talent – and further more, get fans opinion on my picks.

Kosher Side Dishes
|Celery Root, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
by Chef Laura Frankel, author of Jewish Cooking for All Seasons (Wiley) and Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes (Wiley)
I love the flavor of celery root (celeriac). The intense celery flavor and "mashed potatoey" consistency pairs well with the potatoes and roasted garlic. Celeriac is what celery wishes it was. It is crunchy and sweet when raw and soft and creamy when cooked. I insist that you use homemade aioli to fluff your potatoes. Jarred mayonnaise is not a substitute in this case and will not yield great results. Fake milk and butter products are not even part of the discussion. They produce a WET-heavy mash that cannot possibly absorb all the gravy I love. Homemade aioli is fluffier, tastes better and simply makes a better creamy-fluffy mash.
1 whole head of garlic, cut horizontally but not peeled
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil on the cut sides of garlic. Wrap in foil and place in preheated oven for 1 hour until the garlic is brown and very soft. Set aside to cool.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and celery root. Cook the vegetables until they are very soft but not breaking apart (about 20 minutes). Drain the potatoes and celery root. Return the vegetables back to the pot over low heat. Allow the vegetables to gently dry out in the warm pot over low heat for 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes and celery root to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the garlic out of the bulb. Rice the potatoes and celery root and roasted garlic through a potato ricer or use a potato masher. Do not use a mixer as the potatoes will become too starchy.
Add 1/2 cup of aioli* to the riced mixture. Stir to combine. Add additional aioli until you have the texture and fluffiness you like. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Garnish with chopped chives, celery leaves and fried sage.
* For the Aioli
2 egg yolks
Place egg yolks, mustard, water and lemon juice in a food processor or non-reactive stainless steel mixing bowl or a glass bowl. Pulse or whisk together until smooth. Slowly add oil drop by drop into the bowl while continually whisking or processing. The mixture should resemble mayonnaise. Salt and pepper to taste.

My two boys still love Lego,although during the last few years they have changed more to collectors than players.They have been collecting a lot of the figures,but also the space ships and have a nice 'crew' set up.Now they are hankering for the Millenium Falcon (here 135 Eur currently) and the Malevolance (90 Eur).They wanted to buy them new,not over ebay,as they have made bad experiences with missing bricks or only half the weapons.
As this is a lot of pocket money and I seem to recall the odd forumite with Lego leanings,I thought I'd ask around.
Has anybody got an idea where I could get these for less? Does anyone have other old Lego Star Wars stuff in the cellar waiting to be dusted off and brought back to life?
I'd be grateful for any ideas!

Guillem Balague
Spanish Football Expert & Columnist @GuillemBalague
Guillem Balague says David Villa is getting back to his best for Barcelona
Guillem Balague blogs on David Villa's remarkable return and the power struggle in Madrid.
Last Updated: 06/11/12 4:24pm
His recovery has taken longer than he would have liked but, as you can tell now, it was the perfect pace. He scored again at the weekend and is almost ready to play a full match.
Villa has been desperate for more than a month now to play 90 minutes. Obviously Tito Vilanova thought that he was not ready, and according to the doctors and surgeons, the Barca manager has judged it cleverly by giving him minutes. Now Barcelona can add a striker, even though he plays wide, to their weapons.
Just before he got injured it looked like he had lost a bit of pace and in fact it looked like Barcelona were going at a faster pace than him. He had missed the train a bit, it seemed. But now what you find is a very motivated player. A player who wants to recover his importance as a goal scorer for two reasons: to help Barcelona no doubt and to recover his prestige as a goal scorer.
There are a few possibilities for the future: a club approaches him and he decides he wants to become a centre forward somewhere else or he stays, or he waits for an extra year when Neymar arrives after the World Cup and may be sold. In any case he just wants to think of the present and to recover his goal scoring form, which he has: he has a better-goals-to-minutes ratio than Falcao, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi!
Power struggle
At Real Madrid this week it has all been about politics. Jose Mourinho has done a very calculated attack on the academy, which is something that he does not control. He would like the academy to work more under his instructions, or at least the B team to. The B team is called Castilla and is run by Alberto Toril. He is friends with the president Florentino Perez, who is backing him in this. Toril was contracted to make the team more competitive and they achieved promotion last season.
But by being competitive there is less importance put on the development of players or in playing like the first team. Mourinho would like them to play more like the first team and for the past two weeks he has been attacking the B team and their coach. He even put a list of players together who have been promoted to the first team and failed to make an impression. He even ignored on purpose some of the bigger names in order to emphasis his point. So in Madrid it's all politics and we will discuss it more on Revista de La Liga.
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it in here or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
Hi Guillem, perhaps Barcelona's conversion of two midfielders, Mascherano and Song, into centre backs gives you some insight as to how the next few years will go. It's not some mega coaching insight on those players but a need to have better passers at the back. It might be why they are "launching" marginally more balls from the back but it also makes sense to get the ball into the area more quickly so that the defending side has less time to bring their midfield and strikers into defensive positions. Their problem against the very top sides for the last few seasons (Inter, Chelsea, Real Madrid) has been breaking down those very well organised defensive walls and maybe Vilanova is thinking more along Arsenal lines and using more pace with the passing game in the transition phase. Glenn Stephens (Arsenal fan)
Hey Guillem, I read the analysis you had on Barcelona playing more long balls this season compared to last. I was wondering if that was because of the injuries to the first choice back four, and hence, the lack of confidence in the makeshift options. Perhaps they just don't trust them enough to play it out from the back. Could that also partly explain them keeping the ball in the opposition half more simply because it keeps it as far away from their own area as much as possible? Thanks! Ijlal Ali (Barcelona fan)
Is Barcelona's Messiah in fact their Achilles heel? The evolution of Messi as a player from a raw talent to more of a team player is a subject you've spoken about; you've always suggested the change is positive. However Messi is the one player who doesn't press, he refuses to put unselfish runs in behind the defence to create space for others, he drops deep and only occupies the number nine role when it suits him to avoid defending. His personality may be selfless, but is he indeed selfish, and has he become too powerful to stop? Matthew, Wimbledon
Hi Guillem, great insight into La Liga each week, it's always a great read. My question is that due to Xavi's less regular usage in the first team this season at Barcelona, if Cesc was to pick up an injury or a drop in form, do you think there would be an opportunity for Sergi Roberto or Gerard Deulofeu to step up from the B team?Ian Westhall
GUILLEM SAYS: I will answer these together. I think it is a mixture at Barcelona this season of players who want to vindicate themselves and were perhaps a bit annoyed that it was all about Pep Guardiola last season. They wanted to show that without Pep there was life so there was motivation to do that. Also, Tito Vilanova knew all the problems with the team. Primarily, that it was too predictable - a result of their possession-based game. So he wanted them to take a more direct approach. He also wanted to hand the leadership to Cesc, which has been done very cleverly.
Some of the problems at the back have come from the dramatic injury situation, with Adriano the latest one. This had led to them not closing down teams as well as they used to as the team is too stretched when Song or Mascherano play. They drop too deep for the rest of the team to press high. So it has been a very imbalanced team which Tito Vilanova has been trying to correct. I think that explains what has happened to Barcelona.

Gothic decorations might not be everyone's cup of tea but even people who would prefer religious outdoor statues have to admit that a lot of Gothic decor looks just downright stunning. The thing about Gothic items is that many pieces are replicas of decor that were used in Europe during the Middle Ages and thus harbor a certain degree of romanticism. Suits of armor can remind us of dragons, chivalry, and heroes. Gothic tables make us and our guests feel like kings and queens as we sit down at them to enjoy platters of roasted turkey and duck. Gothic chairs and other excellent replicas of antique furniture are simply beautiful, functional works of art and that reflects the purpose of the original items.
The woodcarvers who made them were artists and masters of their trade. While they had to create items for nobility and the rich, being commissioned to make that chair or table also gave them a chance to show off their skills. That trend continued on into the eighteenth century and is demonstrated by items like the stunning Dordogne Mirror and Princess Caroline Vanity Table. Whether you feel like talking into these beautiful mirrors or not, both are fit for a queen.

Global Feminisms, recently on view at the Brooklyn Museum, was the first major exhibition to examine international feminist art at the turn of the twenty-first century. A selection of works from that exhibition remains on view here in Global Feminisms Remix.
Like its widely praised predecessor, Remix calls attention to the fact that feminism is a truly global issue. Assembled here are works in a wide range of media made by 40 women artists from around the world and born since 1960. Many of the artists come from countries seldom included in the discourse on contemporary art, among them Guatemala, Kenya, Pakistan, Thailand, Korea, and India.
Remix, like the earlier exhibition, seeks to challenge the dominance of European and American contemporary art, as well as the concept of a "global sisterhood," a term that assumes a universal sameness among women without taking into account social, racial, ethnic, economic, sexual, and cultural differences. By making feminism a plural noun, feminisms, we mean to imply that there is not one single, unitary feminism any more than there is a universal "woman." We hope that this show constitutes a reclamation of difference—seeing it as a major positive force in the human situation, rather than a crippling predicament. It is only through the acceptance of difference in its many varieties that art, and society, can change.

By Stephen J. Kotz
It's pretty much all over but the shoutin'. After more than three and a half years of fiercely partisan political warfare, the federal Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare, will be completely phased in this year.
Insurance brokers and state run exchanges, or marketplaces where the uninsured can shop for health care policies, will likely see a continuing brisk business for the next month or so, as the final open enrollment period ends on March 15, with mandatory coverage required to begin by April 1.
"It ruined my hunting season," said Karl Washwick, drolly, of the rush to buy new policies meeting the requirements of the law this year. The owner of the Washwick Agency, an insurance brokerage in Riverhead, Mr. Washwick said the final push to implement the health care legislation had proved to be a logistical nightmare for everyone from consumers to insurance companies themselves.
"If anyone had asked me I would have said this is a recipe for disaster. It's insanity to ask everyone in New York State to switch policies on the same day. It's the same as telling everyone to renew their driver's license the same day. Can you imagine the lines if they did that?" He said a phased-in implementation would have saved lots of headaches.
Susan Morrissey of Morrissey Advisory Services, a Sag Harbor health insurance brokerage, agreed that there was still a lot of confusion among consumers.
"At times I've felt like I'm a social worker," she said of all the counseling and hand-holding she has had to do with her clients in sorting out their options from among dozens of plans with various prices that are available.
Although plans that went into effect last year and expire later this year remain valid, any new plan that goes into effect this year has to include pediatric dental and vision care as well as mental health benefits, Ms. Morrissey said.
On top of that, Mr. Washwick said, if they were not already, consumers have to be prepared for a new age, in which just about all plans have high deductibles. "Generalizing across companies and policies, it means about a $6,300 out-of-pocket at most for an individual and double that for a family," he said.
Both Ms. Morrissey and Mr. Washwick said the vast majority of companies they represent, which are typically in the small business market, have continued to offer insurance for their employees.
But if a company does not provide insurance or a consumer is self-employed, they have two basic options: buy an individual plan from a broker or visit the New York State insurance exchange site, nystateofhealth.ny.gov .
"There are two stores to buy insurance from; you can buy from the state store or the Washwick store," said Mr. Washwick. The first difference is that someone who buys through the state exchange might qualify for a price subsidy if their income falls below $45,000 for an individual or $95,000 for a family.
Although the prospect of a subsidy sounds inviting, Ms. Morrissey said it's still a case of buyer beware. "A lot of people might not know that although the same insurers are on the exchanges as you can get from a broker, the networks aren't necessarily as good," she said. "People buy policies and then have trouble when they find out that they can't go to their regular doctors."
She pointed out, for instance, that Stony Brook University Hospital, recently announced that is not accepting any plans sold on the state's exchange.
"The only reason you'd use the exchange," she added, "is if you think you are going to get a subsidy."
Americans who do not buy insurance face a fine of $95 or 1 percent of their income, whichever is greater, an amount many healthy young Americans may be willing to pay to avoid paying monthly premiums, Ms. Morrissey said.
The Affordable Care Act had good intentions, she said of the effort to make sure all Americans have health insurance. But she said, so far, it's had mixed results and will likely need some serious tweaking. While an individual policy would have cost about $1,000 last year and policies are now available for as low as $590, people will still end up going to the emergency room when they need health care if they have a limited network of doctors to choose from.
"From the eagle view in Washington, D.C., it's fabulous," Mr Washwick said of the $6,300 out-of-pocket limit for an individual. "You get cancer and your total cost is one-third the price of buying a Toyota," he said. But to the average Joe, it's 'Why do I have insurance?'"
The dilemma still vexing this country, according to Mr. Washwick, is that Obamacare "is not health care reform, it's health insurance reform."
The question "is how do you get people healthier?," he said. "The overwhelming number of health care claims are lifestyle claims. Supersize me. Marlboro Lights, please. Yeah, I'll have one for the road."

Don Letts - Culture Clash, Chapter 19
Monday, 12th Nov 2012
This was Big Audio Dynamite
In September 1983 Mick Jones was fired from The Clash. A year later I'm standing in a nightclub with him and my good friend and bass player Leo 'E.Z Kill' Williams. Mick looked to his left and there was Leo, to his right was me, and he said he thought we looked like a band. There and then Mick asked me to join what would become Big Audio Dynamite. When I told him I couldn't play anything, he simply replied, "Paul couldn't play bass when he joined The Clash." We auditioned for a drummer in the NME and found Greg Roberts. Because I couldn't play anything I threw myself into writing lyrics, which I approached in the same way as writing a script for a video. Prompted by Mick I also started sourcing samples and dialogue which I 'stole' from a whole host of classic movies. Big Audio Dynamite had a wide-screen approach, our sound was a blend of New York beats, Jamaican bass-lines and English rock'n'roll guitar. I took care of the samples and dialogue, which became an integral part of the B.A.D sound. Dan Donovan who joined later brought in more ideas when he became our keyboard player. He also put coloured stickers on my keyboard to show me what to do when we played live. Now that's punk rock! Our first single "The Bottom Line" was released in 1985. It was remixed by Rick Rubin for release on his Def Jam label - quite a coup back in the day. Soon after we finished recording our first album Joe Strummer turned up at Mick's flat wanting to get The Clash back together but B.A.D were on a roll.
"This is Big Audio Dynamite" was released in late 1985. Some say that floating within its grooves is the album The Clash should have followed 'Combat Rock' with. We had a hit single with "E=MC2" (the first lyrics I actually wrote with Mick) and ended up playing on Top of the Pops, which was a first for Mick Jones and definitely a first for your truly. For the lead track "Medicine Show" a humorous statement of intent, I sampled dialogue from A Fistful of Dollars, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, A Fistful of Dynamite, and of course The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The video featured cameo appearances from Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon and John Lydon. B.A.D was a huge success live and the gigs came thick and fast. We played three sell-out nights at the Brixton Academy in London, eleven nights at the Irving Plaza in New York and seven nights at the Roxy in LA. I remember when we came off stage after one of the Plaza night gigs; I looked around our dressing room to see David Bowie, Peter Frampton, Dave Stewart, Jimmy Cliff, Mick Jagger and the Beastie Boys all in attendance.
A year later we're in New York City recording our second album "No.10 Upping Street" when I bump into Joe Strummer in Times Square, so I invited him down to the studio to say hello. He ended up co-producing the album! Strummer had this amazingly energy, so even if he didn't want to take over a project, he just couldn't help it. It was great to see Mick and Joe creatively fall in love again. Recording in New York took around three months and it wasn't cheap. But money wasn't the thing, well not at that point. We didn't slog our guts out doing fifty gigs across America; we did residencies and spent the rest of the time hanging out in whichever city we were in. We used an old Clash trick; we announced a gig in a smallish venue and the demand became so great that we'd end up playing many nights in the same place. During the summer of 1987 we supported U2 on the second leg of their European tour. Now we're playing in front of 100,000 people which didn't faze Mick but I'd be lying if I said it didn't rock my world especially since I still had coloured stickers on my keyboard. We struggled financially after "No.10 Upping Street" as we had spent the advance on recording the damn thing in Manhattan. So Mick set up a studio in his basement and we began working on what would become 'Tighten Up Volume '88'. The Trojan Records 'Tighten Up' series had left a big impression on us all, so twenty years later Big Audio Dynamite named their album in honour of those reggae compilations. If there is an overall theme to "Tighten Up Volume '88" it's race.
Unfortunately Mick became seriously ill with pneumonia during the tour for the album and nearly died. Thankfully he recovered but it took a long time and while B.A.D were inactive I carried on with my film work. Mick returned fired up and ready go and in 1989 he put the final touches to our fourth and final album with the original line-up: "Megatop Phoenix". Megatop was far more psychedelic than the previous albums, it sounds like a trip. The second 'Summer of Love' had a huge influence on the record. But soon after its release the band started to implode. All the usual clichés and dramas, the creative and financial arguments that most bands go through, well, the bands that I like anyway. In the end I quit Big Audio Dynamite and started my own band, Screaming Target (named after the Big Youth album) with Greg and Leo. I just wanted to know what I could do on my own. The record had more of a reggae and world sound than B.A.D and on reflection I guess it was more of an ego exercise than anything else. And even though we did get some blinding reviews it lacked the magic of Mick Jones and after a while I got fed up with being in a band altogether. So, as I had continued making promos for other bands all the way through my time with B.A.D, after Screaming Target I took the decision to put all my time and energy into filmmaking.

Awhile ago I came up with this really
stupid great plan to make a King size quilt for my bed.
So I decided on this bowtie design. I figured I needed 168 blocks to make it 104" x 90"…and each block has four smaller blocks in it…and each smaller block contains 6 little squares (including the little corner squares). So I figured to make this whole quilt I'll have to cut 1008 little squares . Totally do-able.
But then as I was lying awake in bed listening to my husband snore I realized…I'll actually need 4032 little squares!!!!!!! I forgot to times that 1008 by 4. Yuck. And instead of the 3 yards of white fabric I bought I'll need 6 yards. So much for my quick project!

Moving to Fort walton/ Want to start a course.
July 18, 2001 11:41AM
HEY! I am moving to the Fort Walton Beach Area (Mary Esther) and would like to eventually start my own disc golf course, and was wandering if anybody could give me some pointers, or some ideas in helping.
RE: Moving to Fort walton/ Want to start a course.

Checkout discgolfassoc.com. They have some sound advice on course design. Surf the net. Do a search for 'discgolf' on yahoo. You'll find the help you're looking for. Also, checkout photos of other courses (internet) these may give you some insight into course layout.
One method might be to replicate various holes from existing courses. For example, if you love #15 at Morley Field, and #7 at Redan try to incorporate those layouts. Of course your variations would be relative to the terrain, so you wouldn't be "copying." Besides, if nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent.
Think about alternate tee/basket placements. This can definitely be a plus, and can distinguish world-class courses from the mundane.
And for the love of all things sacred, don't install the 'discatcher' brand baskets. They're just downright evil!
Good luck! Let everyone know how things turnout.

Don't completely rely on courses that you have played or seen in other places to dictate your design. It's your course and your holes should reflect your vision of what a disc golf course should be like. The most popular courses seem to be the ones that have a little of everything; right handed balanced against left handed and a variety of distances. Many unimaginative people design courses that they hope will directly emulate others that they have played, or that are so senselessly difficult that luck plays more of a part in a player's success than skill. Neither approach serves the sport or the player very well. The courses that are designed become generic and skill takes a back seat to luck. The land on which you design your course will tell you what holes can be placed there. Block out all of the scrub and small trees when you're walking the area and you'll be able to see what kind of holes can be placed in certain areas, keeping in mind the difficulty level that you want the course to have. That's what my friends and I did and it worked very well.

SINGING schoolchildren joined thousands of flag-waving revellers as the Olympic Torch's Cumbrian odyssey reached Ambleside.
Crowds began gathering from mid-afternoon as anticipation mounted ahead of the historic moment.
Greeted by cheers and applause, torch bearer Tom Wright, 15, of St Bees, passed the Olympic flame onto Windermere's Stephanie Booth as it reached Borrans Park at around 6.20pm.
The beaming 14-year-old Lakes School pupil, nominated by her head teacher, told the Gazette it was the 'best moment' of her life.
"I was quite nervous but very excited," she said.
"Everyone was really friendly and happy.
"It's been the best experience."
Sports-mad Stephanie is a keen swimmer and participant of triathlon and cross-country events and will compete alongside her sister in this weekend's Great North Swim.
Her proud mother Christine said: "I didn't sleep last night, I was so excited for her.
"I'm just really unbelieveably proud of her.
"The last week has been a little bit overwhelming.
"She was determined to be involved in the Olympics and this could be the closest she gets."
Spectators Gordon Allatt and Norma Pearson made the trip from Northampton especially to see the torch.
And Mr Allatt was thrilled when he got to touch it.
"I'll never wash this hand again," said an emotional Mr Allatt.
"The Olympics is one of those things that brings the country together and makes us feel good."
Mrs Pearson added: "I think it's absolutely great and I shall be watching the Games every day while they're on."
Children from Ambleside, Hawkshead, Langdale and Coniston primary schools performed a song especially-assembled for the occasion as the torch made its way to Waterhead to board the Bowness-bound vessel, the Tern.
It was helped on its way by a flotilla, christened Brathay's 'whalers', as other boats sounded their horns in tribute.
Marj Waddecar, of Ambleside, who was looking on, said: "I was born in the year Britain last held the Olympics so I thought I ought to come down and see the torch this time.
"It's good we have got the Olympics and let's just hope there's a bit of a spin-off for tourism in areas like this."
Visitor Julianne Harlow, of Brighton, added: "It's a really big event that we won't be seeing in this country again and, rightly or wrongly, a lot of money has been invested in it."
People were invited to write goodwill messages about the Games for inclusion in an eye-catching yellow 'balloon tree'.
The Kendal Windows on Art project was led by Pam Williamson, who said: "I have worked with older people, schoolchildren and members of the public, asking them to send their messages to welcome the torch from Ambleside to London and the rest of the world."
The balloons were given to children after the torch passed through and the messages will now go on display at Ambleside Library before featuring in a special opening ceremony at this year's Ambleside Sports.
The Borrans Park festivities were organised in part by Barry Porter, of Rufty Tufty's, Ambleside.
Mr Porter said: "I thought it would be a really positive thing for Ambleside - it really profiles the area.
"Anything that builds up Ambleside is great for local businesses and local people. The kids are really enjoying it."
An Olympic Torch relay celebration, titled On the Night Shift, presented by Kendal Arts International, takes place on The Glebe, Bowness, tonight.
A Tree which stands in a Lake District wood is the tallest in Cumbria and could be the largest in the North West.
The 57.8-metre giant grand fir in Skelghyll Wood, Ambleside, has also been recorded as the tallest of its species in England, breaking the previous Cumbrian record of 55 metres, which was held by a conifer at Thirlmere.
National Trust ranger John Pring got the idea to get the tree measured and recorded by the National Tree Register charity when driving through Ambleside.
He said: "I've driven on that main road (A591) in Ambleside for a long time and I just thought: 'That really is a very big tree, I wonder how big it is? We were surprised just how tall it was when we measured it. There are some very big trees in the area but we didn't realise how tall it actually was. This is just one of the thousands of big old trees the National Trust looks after in the area."
Mr Pring, who has covered Windermere and Ambleside for 20 years, is now encouraging nature lovers to go to Skelghyll Wood and see the true scale of how tall the trees are for themselves and the grand fir, which was planted in 1860, looks set to continue growing and could push the 60-metre mark unless there are any accidents such as a storm blowing it over.
The tree was measured by tree climbers Mark Sigrift and Mick Lupton of Aspen Tree Management in Witherslack by dropping a long tape measure and using a badminton pole to attach a tape measure. "It just shows that the tree is happy with the climate there," said Mr Pring. It's only 160 years old so it is still growing."

Infinity Systems is founded by aerospace engineers who launched the Servo-Static I with the world's first powered subwoofer. It did take a rocket scientist - three of them, in fact.
Infinity introduces the EMITTM Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter to produce crystal-clear highs. Cymbals have never sounded so amazing.
Decades ahead of their time, Infinity's polypropylene speaker cones impress the audio world with improved rigidity and minimal distortion. A giant leap forward for audio accuracy.
The Infinity Reference Standard (IRS) is recognized as one of the finest speakers ever made. Four towers containing 76 EMIT tweeters, 24 EMIM midrange drivers and 12 polypropylene woofers deliver music on a symphonic scale.
Infinity joins the Harman International Industries Group, headquartered in Stamford, CT. World-class engineering facilities spur even more stellar advances.
Infinity launches the first powered tower speaker, the Composition Prelude PF-R, and audio reaches new heights.
Great sound hits the road. Infinity partners with Hyundai and Kia to deliver premium branded audio.
A big year for Infinity. The Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (CMMD) is introduced, stiff enough to avoid resonance and coloration, light enough to pick up subtle detail. The accuracy is unprecedented.
No more fighting over the perfect seat. The Constant Acoustic ImpedanceTM (CAITM) waveguide arrives, creating uniform sound quality virtually anywhere in the room.
Quality sound slims down. With an eye toward design, the Maximum Radiating SurfaceTM (MRSTM) flat panel driver debuts in the CascadeTM series – thin, graceful speakers with exceptional detail and clarity.
Another first for Infinity – car audio subwoofers with an impedance switch. Now you can build a single or multi woofer system with ease, and without complicated wiring.
All-new Kappa Car Audio Loudspeakers arrive, packed with Infinity's groundbreaking technology. With outboard crossovers and reduced nominal impedance, Kappa becomes the ideal factory speaker upgrade.
Infinity launches its first-ever portable speaker, continuing our singular focus on materials, technology and design. Another barrier has been broken.

Mrs. Gail Montgomery-Yukon died Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011, after a long series of illnesses. She was born 65 years ago in West Point.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 35 years, Ron Yukon, as well as countless people around the country who knew her as a friend, mentor, counselor and teacher.
She is also survived by her brothers, Roger L. Montgomery (Paulette) of Pascagoula, and Pete Montgomery (Libby) of West Point; seven nieces and nephews; and seven great nieces.
She began to read as a preschooler and her love of reading kept her in touch with the leading edge of thought, even as her physical abilities diminished. Gail attributed some of her skills to the 4-H club, where she discovered and developed her skills as a public speaker. On the high school and college debate teams, she learned how to argue both sides of an issue, but she always knew on which side she stood. Gail began her professional counseling career as a youth minister at the First Baptist Church in Aberdeen.
While still in college, her passion for helping others took her to the Philippines as a journeyman missionary. Upon returning from her missionary work, Gail completed a master's degree in counseling. She parlayed her passion for helping others into a private practice that was maintained for over 40 years. Gail had a unique counseling style that drew people to her from all walks of life. She developed her own therapy system, which she taught around the country as well as using it in her work with individuals and couples.
Gail was also funny. Ron says he married her to keep him laughing. Gail's desire to help others continued even after her passing.
Gail's body was donated for medical transplantation and research.
No formal memorial service is planned.
People are encouraged to remember her in their own way and to make donations in her name to the charity of their choice.

The secluded and tranquil location in the hills behind the less busy area of Maenam made for a very peaceful stay. The free shuttle to the beach and shopping area at Chawang was a welcome service between the two hotels.

We really enjoyed our holiday. Very relaxing and great place to chill out. We all had spa treatments, the signature massage was very good. The food is good quality we only had the Thai selections but also ordered from the pool menu to the room and the burgers are great to. The bathroom was a let down for me- the toilet and shower off the main bedroom was stuffy and mouldy smelling. I also saw on the floor plan of the rooms that there was a laundry with a washing machine-however that was not the case which was a bit of a pain as we use re-useable nappies. We travelled with two children and the staff were very friendly to the kids and us. I would love to stay there again and definately recommend it to anyone

Отличный отель для спокойного семейного отдыха. Здесь есть для этого всё! Отличное обслуживание. Несколько напрягает удаленность от моря, но оно не очень заметно - на пляж Чавенг отель предоставляет бесплатный трансфер к пляжу своего дочернего отеля-бутика. Спасибо всему персоналу за отлично проведенное время! )

Very comfy beds, stylish and large penthouse Really I like Jacuzzi on the roof top, beautiful view from the roof. It was raining season, electricity was cutting off by hours sometime, no blaming to the hotel , it was all over Koh samui. Breakfast was poor and limited dishes, one member was serving customer :(, waiting 30 minutes to serve us
Reservation service:
Easy to book If the booking was in US dollar is better than the voucher issue by Thai Baht, because the rate will be different little bit by exchange it

Accommodation and facilities:
My friends and I stayed in a three bedroom pool villa for two nights. The villa is absolutely gorgeous and spacious. The pool size is good, about 8 meter long which is enough to do lap swim (barely though). This is unlike many other resorts pool villa which is only good for dipping. The staffs are really nice and helpful. For one instance, we checked out early Sunday morning to go on a day trip. When we came back in the evening to pick up our luggages, they even offered shower rooms for all of us. The downside of this resort is that it s not next to beach. Even though they have shuttle buses going to Chaweng multiple times a day, I found that having a rental car is much more convenient. Once we get to Kirikayan on Chaweng, the staffs there eagerly helped us get towels, beach chairs, etc. Very nice. Overall, we had great time there. Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

This is one of those few places that are as good in reality as they look in the brochure. Had a fantastic holiday here in one of the One Bedroom Villas (our own little piece of paradise). The staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful I have come accross.

No problems encountered with my booking. Everything was as booked. I will deal with again.

Accommodation and facilities:
We booked for 3 days of our honeymoon. Originally booked 1 bed pool villa but think we were upgraded to a 2 bed with the other bedroom being locked. Great villa (so private) and fantastic service from staff. Only thing that I would say is that the reception staff are a bit full on and kept asking why we didnt want to eat in the restaurant everynight and also is expensive if you take their taxi anywhere. Location makes it very difficult to hail another taxi unless you walk down a dark path to main road. Would recommend to those wanting privacy or somewhere nice to really relax. We will go back!

I stayed with my wife in Kirikayan (we are from Kazakhstan)during our vacation in September 2009. The hotel was so nice ! We booked actually 1 bed room villa but the hotal staff upgrade our reservation to honeymoon villa free of charge. The hotel itself, facilities, spa,reustarant is very good. Its quite place perfect for couples. the beach is 5-10 minutes by car. When we wanted to go to the beach, the hotel car took us to the beach (to be honest we don t like tht beach much), the driver helped us with bying fruits,etc.. and was staying with us till we decided to return back to the hotel. Service, facilities, spa,food - great ! Privacy - perfect ! we stayed in this hotel in the end of our jouney to Thai (first BKK, Pattay,Samui (Chaweng), so it s good to finish your vacation in a quite atmosphere.

Midwest Living Review
More than 200 costumed characters from children stories star in the 30-minute Target Holidazzle parades. Festive floats, choirs and marching bands join the walk down Nicollet Mall during the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why brave the winter chill to watch a parade after dark? Because everything floats, characters and even members of the marching bands are decked out with twinkling and flashing holiday lights. Thousands bundle up and turn out for the parade, which has been boosting holiday spirit for 20 years. If you're not up for bundling, stake out a spot in the downtown skyway over Nicollet Mall. But get there plenty early skyways (and even good viewing spots out on the street) start filling up an hour before the parade starts. Or purchase "hot seats" in heated tents. They sell out quickly, and the price for these tickets ($9) includes free hot chocolate or cider. Otherwise, the parade is free. Holidazzle parade starts at 6:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. The route down Nicollet Mall starts at South 12th Street and ends at Fourth.
