Women: Hot Guys Don't Drive Mail Trucks
- By Eric Katz
- February 18, 2014
- Leave a comment
Letter carriers at the U.S. Postal Service have a lot to worry about these days: a dramatically diminished workforce, potentially dangerous after-dark deliveries and, of course, dogs.
Now you can add girl problems to the list.
According to a poll from Insure.com, women ranked "mail trucks" dead last when asked to evaluate the kind of vehicle attractive men drive.
Pickup trucks, sports cars and SUVs were the most popular options among the ladies, collectively accounting for three-quarters of the response. Mail trucks came in at just 1 percent.
Many Republicans in Congress have pushed for privatization of postal operations, and apparently, many women agree; UPS trucks came in two spots ahead of their Postal Service counterparts in the driver hotness rankings.
Insure.com polled 2,000 licensed drivers age 18 and over for the survey.

Pizza Hut backpedaled Monday after announcing a contest last week that would have awarded a pie per week for 30 years to those bold enough to ask the presidential candidates one "pressing" question: "Sausage or Pepperoni?"
The pizza chain—which has one location in Encinitas—last week announced that it would give either a pizza pie per week for 30 years or a check for $15,600 to anyone who would ask either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney the aforementioned topping question during the live town hall-style debate at Hofstra University on Tuesday.
According to the Daily News:
But after it was slammed for making light of presidential politics, the pizza chain changed course to say it would ask the question of its customers rather than the candidates.
Stephen Colbert had mocked the contest on his show last week, asking: "What could be more American than using our electoral process for product placement?"
The company has since moved its contest online following backlash from multiple media outlets.
The Associated Press has reported that Pizza Hut will still honor its original contest if someone were to pose the question to the two candidates, but is "encouraging everyone to participate in the new online version, where contestants must enter their email addresses and zip codes to be eligible. The company did not say whether it would award two prizes if someone does ask the question."

Cats with respiratory distress represent a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the small animal veterinarian.
The most common causes of feline respiratory distress are pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, asthma, and neoplasia. Available
methods to try to elucidate the etiology of an individual cat's respiratory distress include evaluation of historical and
physical examination findings, thoracic radiography, cytology and ultrasonography or echocardiography. Additionally, it is
important to distinguish respiratory distress that is a presenting complaint from respiratory distress that develops during
hospitalization for another problem and to quantify distress as mild, moderate, severe or immediately life-threatening.
Respiratory distress at presentation
Respiratory distress as a presenting complaint is a common condition for the emergency feline practitioner. Additionally,
it is well-recognized that cats with respiratory difficulty are challenging to treat, as these cats create a large amount
of anxiety in many veterinarians, due to fears of either excessive stress associated with therapy or difficulty with determining
the underlying diagnosis.
Physical examination findings are often helpful in determining the cause of feline respiratory distress. The body temperature
is frequently subnormal in cats with heart disease, but is generally normal or even elevated with pulmonary disease. Similarly,
an elevated heart rate (>200 bpm) is often associated with heart failure, while cats with primarily respiratory disease may
have a slower heart rate. However, cats who are hypothermic due to heart disease may be relatively bradycardiac as well.
The presence of a heart murmur, gallop rhythm or arrhythmias is strong evidence for cardiac disease. Jugular venous distension
may be present with heart disease, although some evidence suggests that jugular distension may accompany pleural effusion
of any etiology. The heart failure cat rarely presents with ascites. Crackles may be present with both pulmonary edema and
asthma. Diminished respiratory sounds, particularly ventrally, often signifies pleural effusion as does a significant abdominal
component to respiration. Cats with severe pleural effusion may occasionally appear to have upper airway obstruction.

Nice Climate & Weather
Nice Climate and Weather
Nice has a typically Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. During the hottest summer months, particularly in August, temperatures often reach excesses of 86°F (30°C), while maximum temperatures in winter are usually between 50-59°F (10-15°C). August is the hottest month and January is the coldest. Rainfall is moderate and mostly occurs during winter; October is usually the wettest month. Snowfall is extremely rare. Nice is sheltered from the wind by the hills around the city so only the occasional mistral wind causes a stir.
Summer is peak tourist season in Nice and this is the best time of year to visit if you are going to enjoy the beaches. However, the spring months of April and May can be lovely and is far less crowded. You will get plenty of sun but the water will be too cold for swimming, making spring the ideal time to go if you want a sightseeing holiday. Autumn can be rainy but the weather is mild and this can also be a pleasant time to visit Nice. With an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, it's little wonder that Nice's climate has earned it a reputation as a year-round destination.

The Alliance has responded to this by adapting and simplifying a Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology to be used at a community level.
A SROI study has now been completed as part of the end evaluation of an EC supported project, which was implemented by KHANA in Cambodia. It showed an impressive 73% social return on investment.
When we try to ascertain the value of a social or health improvement programme there are many aspects which cannot be captured in purely economic terms.
SROI is a form of analysis which aims to give a broader concept of value, it assigns monetary figures to the outcomes of such programmes.
SROI looks at the social, health, environmental and economic benefits of a programme. A calculation can then be made showing the cost to benefit ratio, which indicates the return on investment of a particular programme.
The ICP programme ran from 2007-2011. The study examined the return on investment of the integrated care and prevention support for people living with HIV and orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).
The programme aimed to give community based care and support taking a holistic approach to the varied needs of individuals and communities.
The study found that the highest value outcome of the programme was greater understanding and ability of caregivers to support people living with HIV and OVC. This in turn contributed to a better quality of life for people living with HIV and OVC.

To the Editor:
The City Council has presented limited options for the just-approved public referendum on Fuller School.
I believe it must reconsider some facts that have not been included in the options already put forth as part of that referendum.
The decision to build a needed new public service facility for the Police and Fire Department on the Fuller School Property seems to be agreeable to all parties and needs to be separated from the other city functions.
The movement of the Police and Fire Department to the more central location leaves two buildings downtown that should be renovated and put to some useful purpose (given the departure of the court from the current police/court building).
Gloucester has committed funds for the restoration and upgrading of our beloved City Hall. Keeping important government functions in that facility is the only reasonable way to maintain that building's usefulness into the future.
The Post Office has mostly vacant space upstairs and on the lower level, some being used for voting machine and municipal records storage, and it may declare the larger facility as an unnecessary expense in any cut back in federal funding (over the fiscal cliff or otherwise).
None of these seem to have been considered in bringing the referendum to the public.
I'd like to offer a third choice as one additional option for the referendum: Utilize the facilities that will be available when the public services building is built to consolidate city administrative services within the immediate downtown area near City Hall, and let the mayor and City Council agree on what to do with the Fuller School property (after they evaluate the alternative costs and benefits of all options).

By BRADEN LAMMERS
Approval of a gateway and road to be constructed off Ind. 311 carries with it the expectation and hopes for the development of Camp Run Commons.
Four years after the plans were conceived, work is finally ready to move forward to help develop Sellersburg's tax-increment financing district. The Sellersburg Town Council approved a resolution at its meeting Monday night that will allow for the construction of a gateway, traffic light and extension of Enterprise Way off of Ind. 311.
Sellersburg Town Attorney Jake Elder said the bond approved last week by the Sellersburg Redevelopment Commission would initially total about $550,000, but could be issued in a series of bonds up to $1.1 million.
The gateway to the town's TIF district has moved from its originally planned location near McDonald's off Enterprise Drive to across the street from the Sellersburg post of the Indiana State Police.
Eric Goodman, vice president of development for API, explained the gateway to the TIF district was going to be up by McDonald's, but the restaurant chain owned the right-of-way and it was asking for more than $1 million to sell it. To create a new entrance to the site, API offered to construct a new four-lane road that will cut through the middle of its property and install a traffic light at the intersection across from the police post and Ivy Tech Community College.
"The reason why we are doing this is to create new commerce and jobs in Sellersburg, create tax income for the TIF district and then also build a foundation for the future development of Enterprise Way, which would also create a new gateway for the TIF district," Goodman said.
It would also make the property that is owned by ARC-Sburg LLC — a company owned by Alan Muncy, president of API — adjacent to the new road ripe for development.
The hope is that the construction of the traffic light and of the new Enterprise Way would spur development in the TIF, and that would eventually connect to Ind. 60.
"I know that there is a fear if you spend this money now, is it a road to nowhere?" Goodman asked rhetorically. "We firmly believe it is not."
He said access to the entrance and road will provide the first step and a foundation for the TIF district. He added that a major concern of the redevelopment commission was that it would agree to build the road and nothing would happen in terms of development.
But to ease the redevelopment commission's and the town council's fears, Goodman pointed to two other redevelopment projects — off State Street in New Albany and Eastern Boulevard in Clarksville — in which the company has been involved.
Goodman and Muncy said both developments are near capacity and several council members pointed out that neither development project has as desirable a location as Camp Run Commons.
"All of this is right next to the interstate [and] there's nothing there," said Town Councilman Terry Langford.
He also asked if the town will have approval for what goes into the site.
"I don't want 10 years from now to have empty buildings," Langford said. "Big empty buildings turned into bingo halls [are] just no good for any community."
Goodman said the properties would have to fit the town's zoning ordinances, but the council would not have individual approvals of companies interested locating in the development.
"The most likely users for this particular property are lending institutions, restaurant and retailers because of the proximity to Ivy Tech and because of the proximity to the interstate," Muncy said. "Unless Ivy Tech goes somewhere in the next 10 years, which I don't think they're going to, I doubt if we're going to have empty buildings," he added, addressing Langford's concerns. "Ivy Tech being involved in this project is a huge benefit to us because .... that's going to drive traffic to that signal."
As a sign of API's ability to attract business, Bill Walker, with Big O Tires, attended the meeting and offered his plan to locate at the site once development moves forward. And according to API's proposal, estimated retail growth will create a property-tax base of $81,000 per year for the town and add up to 150 full- and part-time jobs to Sellersburg.
"This is the gateway we hoped for," said Town Council President Paul Rhodes said. "Since I've been involved in the redevelopment commission, almost from the get-go, one of our faults was we never had a developer working with us."
The town council unanimously approved the resolution to seek the bond, with the first portion totaling $524,956 for road construction costs and the land purchase. The bond is expected to close July 22.

Following a disappointing test in Bahrain last week, Red Bull are faced with a race against time to have a competitive car by the time the season starts in Australia next month.
The reigning Constructors' Champions had a disappointing time at the Sakhir circuit last week, where both Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo struggled with reliability.
Vettel didn't leave his garage at all on the first morning of testing and only made an appearance on track 45 minutes before the session was called off.
On the second day, though, the German had a much better time of it and completed 59 laps in his RB10.
Ricciardo's time in the new Red Bull car were cut short by technical issues on days three and four, during which he only completed 28 and 15 laps respectively.
Following the test in Bahrain, the Red Bull rookie admitted that the team needed more time on track to work on ongoing technical problems if they are to challenge for a podium position in Melbourne in less than three weeks time.
"I guess we still need more time," Ricciardo admitted.
"We have four more days coming up and hopefully we can maximise those. I have to say that on the run we did today the car did feel better.
"But unfortunately another problem arose and we couldn't exploit that potential. I hope we can do more running next week.
"Obviously, I would have liked to do more this afternoon but we still have tomorrow ahead of us and it's important to be ready for that. The car is definitely making progress though. It's coming together bit by bit.
"We'd love a big chunk all at once but that's not the way it works, so we have to be patient.
"But it is coming and we're heading in the right direction."
Red Bull have one more opportunity to test the car's reliability and Ricciardo is pleased that he gets a first crack at the Bahrain track when the third and final test starts on Thursday.
"I'm happy I'm doing the first two days," Ricciardo added.
"At this stage we just need laps and I'm just looking forward to get back in the car."
Red Bull race engineer Andy Damerum revealed that the Milton Keynes team will have an updated car at the third pre-season test.
"We've made some very good progress, particular on day two, but we've also had a number of problems that have again held us back," Damerum admitted.
"The engineering team will head back to Milton Keynes now to plan the next moves and we can only look forward and try to get everything in place for the next test."

FBLA helps students learn about business skills, while helping out in the community in various volunteer activities.
Right now, the FBLA group is one of the school's largest at about 100 members strong. There is always room to grow, members said, and this week was the time to show off what the club has to offer.
Senior Amanda Newman said she enjoys being part of the FBLA group. She said it helps her learn a lot while polishing her leadership skills.
"It also looks good on a college application," she said. "It prepares you."
During Promotion Week, students enjoyed activities like movies and pizza and showed off all the club has to offer, she said.
Community service is also part of what the group does, including regular time spent at the Sonshine Soup Kitchen and Boys and Girls Club of Greater Derry.
"If you take it seriously, it can really help you," Lindsey Simpson said. "It builds leadership and confidence."
FBLA members are preparing for the State Leadership Conference next month. There, they will take on competitions in speaking, accounting, marketing, economics and other business-related subjects.
Top winners advance to the national level of competition.
During Promotion Week, Pinkerton's FBLA club will earn points for its efforts to help achieve a certain level among school clubs.

The last of the 2013 federal Officer Candidate School selection boards will meet Jan. 6-10 at Fort Knox, Ky., about a month later than previously scheduled.
Like many other centralized promotion, school and command selection boards, the OCS panel has been delayed because of the recent government shutdown that snarled the processing of application packets and other board-related paperwork.
The delay does not affect the eligibility of OCS applications received at Human Resources Command for the December board, according to command officials.
The OCS board previously scheduled for May 5-9 remains on schedule. The deadline for application packets is March 21.

I have owned this set for over 10 years. I have other good, very expensive knives and still use these daily. They have been used a lot and the only wear is on the kitchen shears. I have bought several sets for gifts. This set is one of the best purchases you will make.
i sent them to my mother who has everything maybe even these but my wife didn,t want me to send her an acre of land on mars so i sent this,we both won this was a better price
I ordered two sets of these knives for each of our two homes. After reading good online reviews, I was still dubious about the wuality. But, I actually like them. They are sharp, wash nicely in the dishwasher and do a good job. The only knife I am not impressed eith is the little paring knife, it is a bit difficult to control. Otherwise, these are a good buy...especially for the price!!!
The knives cut through meat and veggies like cutting through butter. They last for a long while. We had purchased that set about 10 years ago, and still they never needed to be sharpened
These babies are SHARP! I love the ergonomic handles, my old set has left a callous on my finger. I like the instruction book details suggested uses for each knife, and the 'name' of the knife is right on the handle. Best purchase I've made for the kitchen in a long time!
Ordered 3 sets so far of these awesome knives, cuts well, sturdy grip stayes sharpened LOVE them.
Not as sharp as expected but way better than what I had. Great knives for the money.
I purchased this as a gift, and I must say I will be purchasing one for myself. I was hesitant about the price being so cheap for a whole set of knives, but it is totally worth it! Great buy! Really sharp!
These knives are great. They are wonderful to use.
I love these knives! However, I am finding the long ones are getting dull for cutting bread, and the handle broke on my vegetable knife!!! I used that a lot, and wish I could replace just that one. I don't need a whole new set.

The criminal American corporate media has been the commercial for the advertisement firm of Bush & Company over the years. The Bush administration has been the world's most prolific word smiths over this period of time. They have come up with the most deceptive words, phrases and descriptions over this time and the criminal corporate media do the dirty work of brainwashing the public into accepting these new Orwellian double talk.
The latest in a long line of inaccurate tags, complicity accepted by the criminal corporate media for a national brainwashing campaign, is the term "surge†when used to describe a "escalation†of the war in Iraq.
Grab a dictionary and look up the word "surge!†Then look up the word "escalation.†Then ask yourself which term more accurately describes the plan to add as many as 40,000 troops to an ongoing military operation. Then ask yourself if the members of the media speak English or if they are complicit in the deceptive propaganda campaign by the criminals who lied to the world in order to start a war.
When will this nation realize that the US corporate media are our enemies and they must be treated as such. They lie to us with every word they utter and their campaign of deception is the sole reason why the American people are not aware of the crimes being committed against them. Think about it!

Clean Bandit secure top spot again
12:43am Monday 10th February 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Clean Bandit made it a third successive week at the top of the singles chart with their dance track Rather Be.
The London band's release, featuring Jess Glynne, held off all rivals and has now sold 402,000 copies, according to the Official Charts Company.
Clean Bandit - brothers Jack and Luke Patterson, Grace Chatto and Neil Amin-Smith - knocked Pharrell Williams's Happy off the top spot to score their first chart-topping single last month.
Williams climbed one place to number two today, while DJ Fresh and Jay Fay's Dibby Dibby Sound ft Ms Dynamite entered the chart at number three.
Will.I.Am and Miley Cyrus's Feelin' Myself dropped two places to number four, while Pitbull and Kesha's Timber climbed one place to number five.
In the album chart, Bombay Bicycle Club hit the top spot for the first time.
The London-based indie rockers' fourth full-length offering, So Long, See You Tomorrow, went straight in at number one, outselling their closest rival, Avicii's True, which climbed from number four to number two, by more than 6,000 copies.
Bombay Bicycle Club, who feature Jamie MacColl, the nephew of late chart legend Kirsty MacColl, on guitar already have two top 10 albums to their name - 2010's Flaws reached number eight, while 2011's A Different Kind Of Fix peaked at six.
Ellie Goulding's former number one album, Halcyon, slipped one place to number three, while London Grammar climbed three places to number four with their debut album, If You Wait. The top five was completed by Beyonce's self-titled fifth album, which dropped two places.

Testimonials About WMMCCF
E. Laurence Spencer-Smith, MD
Ms. Mary Anne Chern, President
White Memorial Medical Center
Charitable Foundation
1720 Cesar E. Chavez Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90033-2481
Dear Mary Anne,
With our sincere gratitude and deep respect for Dr. E.L. Spencer-Smith, my husband, Bret, and I are pleased to offer our support to the Gynecological and Obstetrical Medical Group at White Memorial Medical Center. The enclosed gift is in honor of the birth of our youngest daughter, Elizabeth, whom Dr. Spencer-Smith helped bring into the world last December. We ask that our gift to WMIVIC be disbursed at his discretion to best fulfill the needs of the Gynecological and Obstetrical Medical Group.
Over the past 7 years, we have been blessed with 3 healthy, beautiful children including our oldest daughter, Madeleine, and son, Kenneth, who were all born at White Memorial. The loving care and personal attention we received from the doctors, residents and nurses while at the hospital was extraordinary and made each hospital stay not only pleasant and comfortable, but memorable as well. Above all, Dr. Spencer-Smith is a beloved family friend and trusted physician; we can't imagine having delivered our children without him!
In appreciation for all your staff does for their patients,
Allison and Bret. Quinlan
Dr. Spencer-Smith was among the first members of the medical staff to be presented with The Angel Award in recognition of extraordinary care and compassion. Patients, families and staff can nominate Angels. For more information on nominating an Angel, contact Yuri Hernandez at (323) 260-5739 x 8 or e-mail her at email@example.com
Miguel A. Ruiz
Bank of America Intern at WMMC
Bank of America Intern at WMMC
My experience at WMMC has been outstanding. I have had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many patients, the majority are members of my community. I am able to bridge the gap by being bilingual, bicultural and by being part of the East Los Angeles community. Being able to interact with patients on a daily basis is key in developing my communication skills and has given me the opportunity to become a leader and positive role model.
WMMC is a place of inspiration and encouragement. I strongly believe anyone who has the opportunity to take part in this special internship will be able to improve their communication skills by stepping out of their comfort zone. As many interns are currently attending college, there are many expenses that many students cannot afford, therefore the stipend this internship offers helps alleviate the stress of worrying to pay for school expenses.
Receiving a stipend for my efforts is a great benefit. I have recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences and my next step is to apply to Medical School. Being the first of my family to attend college and pursue a career in medicine has been a great honor to my family and community. However, the expenses also add up to a scary number. The stipend I am receiving is helping me cover some of the major cost to further my education and encouraging to continue on to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor.
In addition to being at WMMC, I have had the privilege to meet countless medical professionals and even had to opportunity shadow them. Every doctor has very encouraging and willing to help in any way they can. Having doctors and medical staff who believe in me is uplifting because it motivates me to continue working hard and one day I will be the next doctor serving my community.
With the skills and lessons I have learned by being at WMMC, I would like to open my health center and serve my community with compassion and send a message of hope and encouragement. I believe I am gaining the tools necessary to become a leader and an inspiration to many more students, parents and community members so that they may also not give up on their dreams but chase after them no matter how difficult or how far they may seem.
In December 2012, Miguel became a part-time employee of White Memorial in the Patient Transport Department. This enables him to remain at WMMC and gain valuable experience, while studying for the exam to enter medical school.

Congressman Would Fire Feds Who Don't Answer His Questions
- By Eric Katz
- June 21, 2013
- Leave a comment
Think twice before pleading the Fifth.
So says Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., who has introduced a bill that would fire any federal employee who refuses to answer questions or gives false testimony at a congressional hearing.
Brooks wrote the legislation after Lois Lerner, director of the tax-exempt organizations division of the Internal Revenue Service, declined to answer questions at a hearing about the agency's targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
"I've been advised by my counsel to assert my constitutional right not to testify or answer questions related to the subject matter of this hearing," Lerner said at the May hearing.
Brooks took issue with this approach.
"This is a statement which should not be made by federally appointed officials before a congressional hearing if they are faithfully carrying out the duties of their office," he said in a statement to Government Executive. "That is why I am introducing H.R. 2458, which would terminate the employment of any federal employee who refuses to answer questions before a Congressional hearing or lies before a congressional hearing. This legislation is constitutional and necessary to enable Congress to provide proper oversight for the American people."
The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects witnesses from being forced to incriminate themselves through testimony.
This bill would terminate any employee who refuses to answer questions at a congressional hearing after being granted immunity, employees who do not answer specific and narrow questions related to their official duties -- even if they are not offered immunity -- or an employee who "willfully or knowingly" give false information, as determined by three-fourths of the body to whom the testimony was given.

The location is a little out of the way (feels like it's in an alley) but it just means that the street is much calmer and quieter than many of the main streets. It gave me a nice getaway from the bus, car and bike noises. The room was spacious and the facilities clean and well-kept. I enjoy my stay here while in Kunming!

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Highest rated Super Bowl ever
WITI-TV (Channel 6) earned a 59.7 rating for Sunday's Super Bowl telecast, in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rating is the equivalent of 538,00 households.
The station has said it was the highest rated Super Bowl in Milwaukee market history. An announcement that it was the most watched television event in history is due later today.
The game earned an 85 share, meaning 85% of the TVs being used at the time were watching the game. There are approximately 900,000 homes in the Milwaukee area television market.
For the NFC championship game with the Chicago Bears, WITI earned a 57 rating, as well as an 85 share. And when the Packers played the Atlanta Falcons WITI earned a 51.1 household rating, the highest Packers divisional game since 2004.
Makes sense, considering it was the first time local viewers had rooting interest in 14-years.
The highest rated program the station ever aired was the "M*A*S*H "series finale, back when WITI was a CBS affiliate. It earned a 61 rating and a 75 share in 1983.
Nationally the "M*A*S*H" finale drew 105.9 million viewers. Last year, however, its 37 year run as the highest rated TV show ever, was ended by the Super Bowl, which drew 106.5 million viewrs.

Was the Super Bowl yesterday? OMG! I missed it!
What were the other 15% doing?
Ask Freshwater...
Seriously, what were the other 15 percent watching?
The other 15% were at bars watching the game where ratings aren't
I wonder how far the numbers dipped during that disgusting half-time show.
Oh, and the commercials were fairly lousy this year, too.
I wonder what the ratings in Chicago were? (...and the Bears still suck).
"What were the other 15% doing?"
They were probably watching It's a Wonderful Life or The Sound of Music or something.
Not surprising considering it featured the two teams with the largest worldwide fan bases. Don't let that scary looking little guy in Dallas tell you otherwise. The Cowboys claim to being America's team is nothing but marketing hype.
Cowboys are not the team of any "America" I know. ESPN sure loves them tho.

Olympus OM-D EM-5′s Art Filter Works Nicely as a Focus Peaking Feature
For those of you who are desperate for Olympus to release a focus peaking feature for the OM-D EM-5, did you know that there's a trick you can use for "ghetto focus peaking"?
A French photographer named Nicolas recently found that the camera's "Key Line" Art Filter actually works quite well as a focus peaking feature. Simply turn on the filter, set your camera to shoot RAW+JPEG, and focus/shoot away. You can throw away the artsy-filtered JPEG files afterward, but the RAW photographs will be precisely focused thanks to the clever "hack"!

SUTTONS BAY — Rose Marie (Weese) Chippewa, 60, of Suttons Bay, passed away Monday, Oct. 7, 2013, at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Rose was born on May 7, 1953, in Frostproof, Fla., the daughter of Willard William Wendall Weese and Gertrude Marie Schocko. In October of 2006 she married Donald Joseph Chippewa, who preceded her in death on Nov. 23, 2012.
Rose loved to spend time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to have parties for the holidays and get the family together.
Her dream job was to become a gill net fisherwoman, and that came true when she and her husband, Don, purchased a boat. They loved to spend time on the water and fish.
When they were home Rose and Don loved to make Black Ash baskets. They would spend hours dying Black Ash and then making the baskets. For fun she and Don would go to the casino and spend hours on the penny and nickel machines.
Her favorite show was "I Love Lucy," and she would watch old reruns on TV Land. She loved to wear black when she was young, and you would rarely catch her wearing anything other than jeans. But later in her life she began to like the colors pink, yellow and other bright colors. Her favorite color was dark green, and she loved to drive her big truck.
But the most important thing to her was to make sure her family was okay. She would let anyone in her family move in with her, and many family members did. There were many years where not only family, but friends would live with her. And that is how she liked it. She always liked to help people.
Rose is survived by her three daughters, Christa Ann Gasca, Ruth Hetzel and Yvette Rose Weese; siblings, Francis J. Weese, Margaret A. Cook, Elizabeth J. Cook, JoAnne Cook-Gasco and Patricia M. Mejia-Cook; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband, Rose was preceded in death by her sister, Debra K. Weese.
The family will greet friends on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m., until the start of the 11 a.m. funeral service, at the Martinson Funeral Home of Suttons Bay. Mr. Paul Raphael will officiate.
Please share memories with Rose's family on her online obituary at www.martinson.info.
Arrangements are with the Martinson Funeral Home of Suttons Bay.

A great way to have the kids monkey around! Cut out construction paper bananas (5 for each party guest) and hide them around your house or party space. Let them look around for 20 minutes. When a kid finds a banana, have them shout Ooo, ooo, ooo, ahh, ahh, ahh! The child with the most bananas at the end wins!
Serve up good ol fashioned hotdogs and call them monkey tail sandwiches! Give the party guests a few options for toppings and serve with potato chips or sun chips.
Kids will go bananas for this delectable dessert! First, line a 2 quart bowl with Nilla Wafers. Cover with a layer of bananas, then cover that layer with another layer of wafers. Repeat this process until the bowl is about ¾ full. Prepare the pudding as instructed on the package and pour them over the cookies and bananas. Once covered, top the dessert with cool whip and crumble some wafers on top.
For monkeys on the go! Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl, toss together and serve!

Residence fire
ARLINGTON - Firefighters in Arlington battled a three-alarm blaze that fully engulfed one home and threatened others Wednesday morning in the 6100 block of Kelly Elliott Road.
The homeowner, who was able to escape the burning home with his dog according to fire officials, was taken to a hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
"He's going to be okay," said Keslynn Sutton, the homeowner's daughter. "I don't know what happened, I guess it got out of hand."
The blaze grew so large as it engulfed the home, crews worked to contain the fire, acting defensively from neighboring homes. Large plumes of black smoke were seen for miles.
Investigators said an unattended fireplace likely sparked the blaze, which took fire crews about 25 minutes to get under control.
By Wednesday afternoon, crews were putting out the last of the hot spots at the burned out home.

Thank you rainbowkisses, marikat, and pani for the links to their performance, and thank you elle123 for the protocols.
Wow....they gave a clinic on turns, if you ask me. That footwork sequence was exceptional...so patient with those edges, so clean...I was renered speechless watching this SD. and I actually preferred the original concept--I love the melancholic aspects of it--but this dance is just gorgeous. and I agree with those who have remarked on the difficulty of these transitions--just look at how they are always skating on one foot, weaving around each other, changing directions, varying holds. This is exactly what that mark calls for. To me it is the most difficult SD in its transitions, so I disagree with the transitions mark among other things.. I do love D&W's SD as well, especially those little hops, which are very difficult. I like that they are pushing themselves to do more choreography in unison, and I think they capture the feel of the polka just beautifully. I think they will continue to work on line and extension with Alex.
I also agree with many of the comments on skating skills. What I think Tessa and Scott do not always receive full credit for is they way in which they vary their speed, their ease of acceleration (speed out of nothing, as pani has noted), and the power of each stroke generated from those soft, rhythmic knees. They just float across the ice...I am still gobsmacked. exquisite skating.
Also, for Canadian fans (sorry, everyone else), Canadian Tire is offering a free limited edition Olympic water bottle to each customer that spends $35 before noon. They come in 4 designs, one of which features Tessa and Scott (in their victory lap in Vancouver). People can view the bottles here:
nice to see them get this kind of recognition
Can you just buy the water bottle? I don't need anything at Canadian Tire--certainly not anything over $35. I still have the Patrick Chan water bottle, so I would like to complete the collection.
You can "buy" the water bottle for $35 and consider whatever you bought as the "free" item.
Can someone teach me a little on how to read the results? Like, you guys always talk of them getting level 4's, but all I see are 1's, 2's, and 3's haha. I'm a newbie at this.

i can't open pdfs so i can't tell you exactly, but
CoSp4 3 3 3 3 3 3
would be combination spin level 4. the numbers that go in a row after are goe, +3
CStep3 (or something like that) 1 2 2 2 2 2
Circular step sequence level 3, +2 goe's with one +1 goe
short dance
skate canada: okay
nationals: lovely
4cc: glorious! that music was made for them and this dance
Ah, thank you all for clarifying! It makes much more sense now.
I love the power in D/W's SD, but it would be more effectively used with some other (any other!) music than Giselle. The hops, the costumes, everything hangs on the side of cheesy than genuine with that program for me. I liked their SD last year a lot more.
I would love to see V&M do a ballet program but also don't see that happening anytime soon. A pity!
i don't

Rated 5 out of 5 by omran Good Excellent staff and the stay was overall enjoyable. Only points of concerns: - Breakfast seemed a little underwhelming - Not allowed to do watersports (but this had supposedly more to do with the coast guard than it did the hotel) December 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Seimen81 Noisy / old / expensive I can just speak about the room I got. It was an old smoking room with view on a electric generator behind the hotel. It was that noisy, you couldn't stay on the balcony for more than 5 minutes. ~500 USD per night? Never again! April 21, 2013

Feral Hogs - Wildlife Enemy Number One
By Chris Jaworowski, Wildlife Biologist, Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries
The feral hog (Sus scrofa) in Alabama is a non-native species that was brought to the Southeast centuries ago by Spanish explorers. Domestic hogs were brought to the Southeast to provide a major food source for early explorers and settlers. Hogs that escaped or were released adapted readily to the wild and prospered in a variety of habitats. Reproductive dynamics, omnivorous diets and lack of natural predators allowed this non-native species to proliferate across the region.
