Claremore Daily Progress
June 16, 2013
Claremore grad promoted to Colonel in USAF; will begin air attaché training
Rebecca Hattaway
Staff Writer
Former Verdigris resident Brian Bell has dedicated his life to serving his country in the Air Force.
That service was recently rewarded as he was promoted to the rank of Colonel.
The ceremony took place aboard the USS Missouri in Hawaii, where Bell has been stationed since 2007.
In addition to his promotion, Bell has a new job.
In June 2014 he will take a three-year assignment as air attaché to the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines.
A year of training in Washington D.C. will begin in July. During the Joint Military Attaché training, Bell will attend language school and be sent to flight school again.
"This is something I've wanted to do for the last 10 years, to break into the attaché field," he said. "With the promotion came the opportunity. It seemed to be the perfect fit. It's an absolute honor."
Bell describes his 22-year career in the Air Force as "solid" and "robust."
"I've been all over the place. I'm surprised at where I am, but it's been through hard work," he said.
Bell graduated from Claremore High School in 1986 and continued his education at Oklahoma State University. He was commissioned in the AFROTC in 1990.
He attributes his successful career to the education and opportunities he received in Oklahoma.
"The education process here gave me the ability to step out and be a leader," he said.
He is the son of Ron and Kay Bell of Verdigris. His brother, Brett, is a 1990 graduate of CHS.

Bio and Links
I'm retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs and living in Douglasville, GA -- in the same county where my ancestors were pioneer settlers ca. 1830.
Since 2006 I have served as Chairman of the Douglas County Cemetery Preservation Commission. We have about 50-60 old, abandoned cemeteries in the county -- some of them very well concealed back in the woods. Each one is now cleaned at least once a year by the cemetery commission and a crew of county jail inmate trustees. I'm in the perfect job to be taking photographs of tombstones and providing information about them.

Thank you for the information on the tombstones in this cemetery. Perhaps you can contact findagrave and have this information put on the cemetery description page to avoid future confusion. Also, it would be helpful if the cemetery name was changed on findagrave to match the name on the sign. I have deleted the 6th memorial as you requested. Thank you for letting me know. Linda

RE: McLartys
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I have bee traveling from AZ to my summer stay in WA with my my dau. The summer temps. in AZ are just too hot in July and August.
Okay, now to your message. My g. g. grandfather, Edwin Maxwell was married to Margaret McLarty. They livedin "Dark Corners", GA. The best I can guess is that is now Douglasville. My g. grandfather William Maxwell, and Franes Morse Maxwell lived in Villa Rica, GA.
Pat Deneen of Austell is a ccousin. Her g. grandmother was a sister to my Frances Morse. She also has McLarty ties. I really like finding "cousins" online, I think it is such fun. I know there is a Mawell in Powder Spgs. but he doesn't want to correspond. I know that I am also related to the Baggets in your area.
I hope we can continue to correspond, Lottie Vandergaw. P.S. I am the third Lottie, Lottie Maxwell, Lottie Robertson and Me.

That is wonderful news. So happy it was successful. My grandpa died in his 30s of PKD and it must have died out with him. None of his children had it or anyone else in the family since.

Hi Sandy..
No, I am not related to your family. I cant remember how I came across your dad and granddad's memorials but I read they had died of polycystic kidney disease. My grandpa and a number of other ancestors died from that same disease so that caught my attention and I left them flowers. Best wishes to you and yours

RE: Basket Creek Cemetery
Because they were officially approved, it won't allow me to delete them. But I have contacted Find A Grave and requested that they be removed. I'm not sure how long that will take, but the request has been submitted.
At the time I posted the photos, there was nothing designating it as a separate cemetery.

Horry County Cemetery documented
Sandy, we found another Horry County Cemetery yesterday. It was in the middle of a privately owned farm. Adam Emrick, Sr. Planner, Horry County Board of Architectural Review has been looking for this cemetery for 2 years. With the help of another contributor in Summerville who does aerial photography searching for lost cemeteries, we were able to speak to the owner and go to the location to document. What was lost is now found.

Old Dorman Cemetery
Hi Sandy,
I noticed your inquire on the location of Old Dorman Cemetery, and it looked as if you had not received a answer. If you do a cemetery look up for "Old Dorman Cemetery, Horry County, SC." the cemetery page has a map on it showing the location just north of Conway, SC.
Good luck,

My friends and family know a lot about me. They especially know that I absolutely love my birthday. A person's birthday is such a joyful and special day. It's truly one of my pet peeves when I hear people talk about their birthday using the dreaded words: it's just another day. (If you could see me typing this, you'd see that I actually shuddered just then.) It isn't just another day - it's YOUR day! It's a very special day, because, in the history of the world and all of time, there is only one YOU. Celebrate! Rejoice! And, today, join me in celebrating my very own birthday! I've hit an age milestone: 35. I'm sure my health insurance rates are going to go up or something equally tragic, but, for today, I'm just in a celebratory mood!
What better to talk about on my birthday than books? (What better to talk about ANY day?!) After finishing the fantastic "Shadow of Night," I read the equally-good-but-in-a-different-way "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." I did a full review on my Goodreads page and I invite you to check it out. I'm currently indulging in Shannon Hale's "Enna Burning." It's book number two in the Books of Bayern series, just after "The Goose Girl." As always, Shannon Hale is a marvel and she doesn't disappoint.
I've also been glued to the Olympics. I'm a huge fan of the Olympics and this year is no different. I was pleasantly surprised to find "How to Watch the Olympics" at the Greenfield Public Library the other day and so I selfishly snatched it up and plan to hog it until after the closing ceremonies. Sorry, friends, but it was there and you had your chance! Besides, the library loves me: I got a message from them today (you know, on my birthday!) telling me that there are three items waiting for me to pick up. What a great gift!
So tell me: what have you all been reading? What's knocked your socks off and blown you away? And, most importantly, which books are absolutely essential for me to check out?

side mirrors and front doors windows problems
Hi? i have 2000 suburban lt 2500 6.0l. both front door windows are not working and both side mirrors are not working. i need help. where should i start and how to fix these problems.
when do i have to use the tow/haul bottom? is there a weight capacity to use it?
should i add an air intake or just buy a filter and replace the old filter and which air intake or filter should i buy?
****On the Front Windows-n-Side Mirror's not working......Check the fuses both 1st, if the fuses are O.K.....then Check Connections going to both the Window and Side Mirror Switches on the Front Door Panels.....
****On the Tow Haul, and when to use it,
The purpose of the Tow/Haul Mode is to:
***Reduce the frequency and improve the predictability of Transmission shifts when pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.
***Provide the same solid shift feel when pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load as when the vehicle is unloaded.
***Improve control of vehicle speed while requiring less throttle pedal activity when pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.
Automatic Transmission equipped vehicles are provided with a button at the end of the shift lever which when pressed enables Tow/Haul.
***When the button is pressed, the Tow/Haul has been selected. Tow/haul may be turned off by pressing the button again, at which time the indicator light on the instrument panel will turn off.
***The Vehicle will automatically turn off Tow/Haul every time it is started.
***Tow/Haul is designed to be most effective when the vehicle and trailer combined weight is at least 75% of the vehicles Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).
Tow/Haul is most useful under the following driving conditions:
***When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load through rolling terrain.
***When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load in stop and go traffic.
***When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load in busy parking lots where improved low speed control of the vehicle is desired.
***Operating the Vehicle in Tow/Haul when lightly loaded or with no trailer at all will not cause damage.
***However, there is No Benefit to the Selection of Tow/Haul when the Vehicle is unloaded.
***Such a Selection when unloaded may Result in Unpleasant Engine and Transmission driving characteristics and Reduced Fuel Economy.
***Tow/Haul is Recommended only when pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load. __________________

If I had to guess I would say that it is the switch. I don't know where the fuse is located. I should be in the panel on the driver side of the dash.

Switches do get dirt and water in them all the time. I would just take them out and look at the connectors. Maybe take some lite sand paper and WD-40 to them.

text: The 4th of July holiday is rapidly approaching as I write this, which means cook-outs, fireworks, and my annual viewing of the film, 1776. (It's a US of A thing. The rest of you out there in the wider world have a July 4th, you just don't necessarily celebrate anything special that day.) All this talk about celebrations has me thinking about D&D. (OK, to be fair, almost everything eventually makes me think about D&D.) So this month, I want to cover a few things that we can all celebrate related to our favorite game. There's the newly declared Dungeon Master Appreciation Month. There's the start of Debut Content this week with the unveiling of the psion. There's the 25th anniversary of Dragonlance, to which I'll add a party favor or two in the form of a preview of the draconians as they'll appear in Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons and the Monster Manual: Legendary Evils miniatures set. Oh, and there's the fast-approaching release of the D&D Monster Builder which makes me want to throw a parade. Let's get this party rolling!

Round Hill Dining | Montego Bay Restaurant
Dining is an important part of the Round Hill experience. Known as one of the finest restaurants in Montego Bay, our dining room draws guests and off-site visitors from other resorts in Montego Bay for a first-class dining experience that's second to none. Our award-winning Executive Chef Martin Maginley and his team incorporate the finest local ingredients to create a variety of dishes inspired by Jamaica's bounty and the cultural influences that have evolved the palate of the region. Borrowing from the rich and diverse history of Jamaica and the Caribbean, under Maginley's direction Round Hill's chefs seek to combine both technique and style, effortlessly weaving them into dishes that reflect contemporary Caribbean cuisine while preserving the integrity of age-old recipes and cooking methods. We are proud to use fresh vegetables and herbs from our very own Round Hill Organic Garden. As an eco-friendly resort, we are committed to using locally grown, sustainable produce whenever possible.
Days are casual and informal with an emphasis on enjoying Jamaica and Round Hill. Mornings are special, with breakfast cooked to order and served in your villa or overlooking the sea. Lunches are laid-back, with a la carte items served on the terrace or barbeque items served on the beach. Evenings, though not formal, are casually elegant and begin with a stroll through the gardens of jasmine and frangipani to a seductive setting by the sea in one of the most romantic restaurants in Montego Bay. Enjoy a vivid Caribbean sunset and a cool tropical drink before beginning a relaxing and decadent evening. Dinner is served with a view of the sea on the Seaside Terrace overlooking Round Hill Bay, or in the new Grill at Round Hill which is elevated above the Terrace. Whichever you choose, you won't find a more flavorful or well-executed meal at any of the restaurants in Montego Bay than those found in any one of our on-site restaurants at Round Hill Hotel and Villas.

Buyers want partnership ... what the heck does that mean?
I have always been intrigued and puzzled by the term "partnership" when it pertains to the staffing world. Anytime you ask a buyer of staffing services what they want from their staffing vendors, pat comes the answer: "we want a true partner."
OK, that has a nice ring to it, but what exactly does this mean? It's like the term "best practices." Sounds important, but... Anyhow, I digress. Back to what is partnership. I have never been able to get a clear answer to that question. I do have a faint suspicion that some think partnership = bill rate reductions. But that wouldn't be a fair partnership, now would it?
To get more clarity on this, in our 2009 Buyers' Survey we asked buyers of staffing services for some constructive advice for staffing firms. After reading through all their comments, I think I gained a better understanding of "partnership." Of course, buyers do indeed want lower bill rates. But once you get past that point, they are also looking for:
- A staffing firm that can give them more strategic advice on how to run their contingent worker program rather than simply focusing on getting people.
- A staffing firm that can delivery quality workers that actually fulfill the client's need. And for this, they are looking for staffing firms that truly understand their business.
- A staffing firm that shares knowledge and training.
- A staffing firm that works with the process set up by the client rather than against it. Read: don't try to call the hiring manager directly if there is a VMS/MSP in place.
- A staffing firm that is professional and honest in its dealings.
You can read the complete report on this on our Web site. However, I am curious to know if, in your experience, the definition of "partnership" is different from what I have defined above.

Prototype 2 is all about mindless combat, flying through the air, running up buildings, and cheesy dialogue. Don't expect a deep story, but get ready for a fun ride.
We like
- Smooth combat
- Traversing the environment is a blast
- Stealth consuming missions
We dislike
- Occasionally funky camera and target system
- Dull story, dialogue
- Repetitive missions, bosses
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
There is something so satisfying about running up the side of skyscrapers, gliding through the air, and landing on some helpless infected person before ripping them apart in a gory feast. If that's the kind of thing you are looking for, Prototype 2 is the game for you. It's easy to hop into the game, and spend a few hours absolutely raising a ruckus.

The Port Arthur News
Freshman Donnell Minton hit six free throws in the
final minute, and senior Donley Minor scored a career-high 22 points, leading
Lamar University to an 86-82 non-conference basketball win over IUPUI in the
consolation round of the NIT Season Tip-Off from Virginia's John Paul Jones
With the Cardinals holding on to a three point lead, Minton calmly stepped to
the line and knocked down a pair of free throws with 32 seconds to
play to push the LU lead back to 82-77. The Jaguars' Mitchell Patton hit a
hook shot to pull IUPUI back to within three with 20 seconds on the clock.
Lamar inbounded to Minton and the freshman knocked two more down to make it
84-79 with 19 seconds. John Hart, who finished with 20 points for IUPUI, hit a
3-pointer to make it a two point game with 13 seconds to play.
LU redshirt freshman Rhon Mitchell was then fouled, but couldn't hit the front
end of the one-and-one and IUPUI had a chance to tie the game. The Jaguars'
Greg Rice drove into the lane but couldn't get his shot to fall. Minton
grabbed the board and was fouled, hitting his final two free throws with 1.2
showing on the clock to ice Lamar's first win of the year.
The Cardinals, who will play at rival Arkansas State on Sunday afternoon at 2:05
p.m., improved to 1-4 on the season. Lamar finished 1-3 in its second ever trip
to the NIT Season Tip-Off. IUPUI fell to 2-4 with the loss.
"I thought it was big for us because we had three freshmen in at the end,"
said second-year LU head coach Pat Knight about picking up the win. "You
practice that stuff, but it doesn't mean anything in practice. So for these
kids to step up like this and win is big.
"It wasn't perfect, but we were able to win and that's the best way for
them to learn. Sometimes it's almost better to win a close game than a win by
a lot of points to get their confidence and the momentum going. I was really
proud, not just of the freshmen, but of the way the whole team played."
While it was Minton who hit the big free throws late, it was Minor who helped
keep the Cardinals in the contest with a big shooting night. The guard knocked
down 10 of his 19 field goal attempts, adding four rebounds and two assists.
Lamar did not have a lead in the first half, trailing 39-37 at the break. The
Cards' first lead came on a Minor jumper with 15:09 to play that made it
47-46. IUPUI responded with an 8-1 run to pull ahead by six with 12:36 to go in
the game.
Freshman Keilan Blanks stopped the run with a layup that triggered a 7-0 Lamar
run and gave the Cardinals a 55-54 lead with 11:11 to play. Mitchell added a
jumper and Minor hit his only 3-pointer of the game to close the run.
The Jaguars then got hot and went up by nine points with 5:24 to play on a dunk
by Donovan Gibbs that made it 72-63 in favor of IUPUI. Minor scored on a
breakaway layup with 2:32 to play that capped a 13-2 LU run and gave the Cards
the lead for good at 76-74.
Lamar shot 54.5 percent from the floor in the second half, including 4-of-7 aim
from 3-point range. The Cards hammered IUPUI on the boards with a 37-28 edge and
had a 14-4 advantage in second chance points as the Cardinals grabbed 16
offensive rebounds.
After averaging nearly 24 turnovers per game through the first three contests of
the year, Lamar committed just 14 against host Virginia on Monday and a
season-low 13 against the Jaguars on Tuesday. In fact, the Cards enjoyed a 20-13
advantage in points off turnovers in Tuesday's contest.
Wilson got off to a huge start for the Cardinals, registering 10 points and
eight rebounds in the first half. The junior transfer would leave early in the
second half with an injury and did not add to those totals.
Mitchell led the Cardinals with nine rebounds, including five off the offensive
glass. Mitchell was one of three Cardinals to score 10 points in the game,
joining Wilson and Minton.
Senior forward Stan Brown added 12 points for Lamar, while Blanks came off the
LU bench to record 12 points and six assists.

A new poll shows New Jersey's taxpayers aren't happy with Gov. Jon Corzine and his toll road plan is getting some of the blame. I've talked with quite a few reporters over the last several weeks, discussing Gov. Corzine's plan to "monetize" the state's toll roads, refinancing them based on huge increases in toll rates in order to bail the state out of its current fiscal hole. In order to get around existing bond covenants, under which all toll revenues must be used to operate, maintain, rebuild, and expand the toll roads, Corzine would create a new "public benefit corporation" which would take over the toll roads. By paying off their existing bonds, the new entity would be free to use toll revenues for whatever its charter called for. Under Corzine's proposal, that would include paying off $16 billion of general state debt.
My problem with this plan is twofold. First, it's grossly unfair to motorists and truckers who use the New Jersey toll roads, 51% of whom (on the NJ Turnpike) are from out of state. They are not responsible for decades of fiscal mismanagement. If anyone should be bailing out the state, it should be the voters and taxpayers of New Jersey, who were asleep at the switch while their public officials spent the state into ruination.
And this gets to my second, related, objection. The extremely high new toll rates–for a truck they would go from $5 in 2008 to $52 in 2033–combine a toll and a tax. The portion that ends up actually spent on maintaining, expanding, and modernizing the toll roads is a toll. But the portion that goes for general state purposes is a tax, plain and simple. Blurring that distinction could greatly harm America's highway system. Converting a toll (a pure user fee) into a tax at the same time as the rates are greatly increased is virtually guaranteed to stimulate opposition to tolls as a method of highway financing.
And that could not happen at a worse time. During the last few years, the global capital markets have discovered the U.S. highway sector as a new investment category. This has occurred just as we're starting to realize the enormity of the investment needs facing us in this sector–for urban congestion relief and for long-haul truck routes, in addition to reconstructing much of our 30- to 50-year-old freeway and Interstate system. The last thing we need is a large-scale backlash against tolling by the motorists and truckers who should be looking to toll finance as a key part of the answer to our highway capital shortfall.
Gov. Corzine decided on the public benefit corporation approach after getting negative feedback to a trial balloon proposal for leasing the toll roads, as Indiana did. Yet it may be that leasing the toll roads to a toll road company with a global track record could raise what the Governor claims to need–without such sky-high toll rates. A source at one such company shared with me some internal number-crunching they have done recently. Remember that the Governor says his plan is expected to generate $37 billion for the state, thanks to the aggressive schedule of toll increases. My source said that when they ran their valuation model using the Governor's toll increase schedule, the value totaled $50 billion. To get the same $37 billion value, their model showed tolls increasing only 3.3 times over the next 15 years, compared with 5 times under the Gov's plan. Alternatively, starting with an even more modest toll rate schedule (today's rates adjusted annually for CPI increases), the model yields a valuation of $18 billion.
So what's with the Governor's numbers? My source could only speculate, citing their own assumptions about "substantial operational savings" and life-cycle cost savings in the modernization program. In other words, the proposition here is that the Gov's plan requires significantly higher tolls because it assumes business-as-usual in how the toll roads operate. It would be very interesting to see what kinds of bids the private sector might submit, if outrage over the Gov's proposed toll increases leads to a search for alternatives.

Beautiful card
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations We've been receiving a lot of compliments with our invitations. I was able to pick my colors and customize it to my colors. I was even able to do half in Spanish and half in English. We would totally recommend this site! Especially the invitations!
Simple yet Elegant
Signature of Love Pocket Invitations Invites came with no errors or marks, etc. They were just as we ordered them. Extra envelopes were included. Came packaged in a beautiful box with magnet closure. Nice cardstock quality. The only change I would like to see is more choices in the script print styles offered.
Classy Invite
Forever Yours Pocket Invitations I ordered my Save-the-Dates through Magnet Street and wanted to keep the same color scheme. I really wanted this particular fold with the pocket for the RSVP card. My colors were eggplant and coral and the invites look great! Shipped and received in the timeline provided when I ordered. Some of the invites had small spaces where the color had come off but nothing worth contacting customer service about. The RSVP postcards are very convenient, no extra envelopes to order and postcards stamps are a little cheaper than regular stamps. And we didn't have to purchase special postage for the actual invitation as the weight was within normal postal ranges. Everyone loved it and mentioned how elegant it looks. I ordered a Just One sample before placing my final order. I recommend doing this because it allows you to see in person what you will be getting. And each invitation looked exactly the same, so no errors when printed in bulk. Great product and there is always some promo code to help with the price :-)
Exactly as portrayed online! Beautiful!
Peacock Pizzazz Pocket Invitations I ordered 200 invitations with Information card and rsvp postcards on a Monday at about 11pm. I received shipping confirmation that Thursday around midnight and Friday afternoon I had two packages at my doorstep! Less than one week when I anticipated 6/8 weeks when I started shopping around! I am still amazed! They are beautiful! Exactly as they looked on the preview online. They even came in a nifty keepsake box! I would highly recommend this company! I am very excited about my purchase and I will continue to use Magnetstreet in the future!

Another year, another trip to Jackson for Joe Miller and the Southeast Lauderdale girls basketball team.
Southeast Lauderdale took down Collins 64-48 Friday night at Choctaw Central High School to advance to the South State championship game on Saturday and earn a berth to the State Championship Tournament.
"We have made it nine out of the last 10 years," Southeast Lauderdale head coach Joe Miller said. "That is a tribute to the talent and how hard our kids play."
Southeast showed its versatility in the first half. The Tigers went to Crystal Clay early on, who scored 12 of Southeast's first 15 points, working the boards and muscling her way to easy put-backs. Clay finished the night with 20 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots.
After Collins (26-3) stacked the low post, Southeast passed the ball out to junior guard Chariae Harbin, who was near automatic from beyond the arch. Harbin went 6/8 from three-point territory, putting up 18 points for the Tigers.
"I said coming into the year, we were going to be strong in the post with Jasmine Bush and Crystal Clay," Miller said. "But then, I think people really underestimate the quickness and speed of our guards."
Harbin's biggest three came in the first quarter, when she hit a shot at the buzzer to give the Tigers a 20-15 lead. The shot also ended a 7-0 run from Collins, taking back any momentum Southeast had lost.
"That three-pointer at the end of the first was huge for us," Miller said. "Collins was going on a bit of a run there. This team was 26-2 coming into the game, and they lost to two good teams. That three kind of gave us a little cushion, and then Harbin made three threes in the second quarter and that was huge."
Jasmine Bush (11 points, 14 rebounds, four steals) and Denisha Knight (14 assists) also had big nights for Southeast.
The Tigers will now move on to face Choctaw Central in the South State Championship at Choctaw Central High School at 7:00 p.m. The win improves the Tigers to 31-1 on the season.
"Tonight was the game," Miller said. "Do we want to beat Choctaw, always. We will see how Crystal Clay is doing. If she is good to go then she will play, if not she wont. The ultimate prize is that gold ball in Jackson.
Though he plans to be careful with his players, the competitive Miller still has his sights set on a South State Championship and a fifth-straight win over the Warriors.
"We plan on playing to win," Miller said. "We will have a week to rest before Jackson. Short of an injury, we are coming in trying to win, and our starters will play."

I've read your articles regarding Shikellamy's interest in possibly acquiring turf for the football field at the stadium. While I am an avid supporter of all things Shikellamy, I feel there is an issue which also should be given some consideration by the school district which directly affects not only football, but also baseball, field hockey, boys and girls soccer, cross country and track and field.
Numerous times while working in the soccer concession stand, I have been approached by individuals from Shikellamy as well as the visiting families and team members, asking where the restroom facility was. It is embarrassing to have to point to the football stadium and inform them that they need to travel to the stadium in order to use the restrooms. I've even been asked "are you kidding me?"
It is an embarrassment of sorts to have such nice fields, football stadium and school and not have restrooms available for use by the players, parents or visitors to the fields. I feel there is ample space and capabilities to create a public restroom which could include running water and a baby changing station area as well as a handicap stall which would accommodate everyone's needs.
Perhaps our Vo-Tech students in the plumbing, masonry, carpentry and electrical departments would be willing to build such a facility as one of their projects. I'm sure that local suppliers would be willing to donate supplies and needed materials at a reduced charge or possibly no charge if they were asked to do so.
While I support the football team's endeavor in having a turf field installed, installing restrooms which serves multiple sports of Shikellamy would be a welcomed addition to the complex and wouldn't break the bank in the process.

The only reason we remember him is because he filed a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Something) against us this weekend, making us remove the old picture (like 2006?) of his injuries after he'd been beaten up by people his asshole College Republican friends claimed far and […]

A: Dark, orangy amber, clear, large thick tanned head which didn't hang around
long, moderate lacing. S: Malt, charcoal, reminiscent of a dunkel. T: Started with
hints of slightly sweet malty charcoal which was balanced out by some fuggles hop
like earthy hoppy bitterness M: Slightly thick texture, low to moderate carbonation,
smooth. O: Combined aspects of an English bitter, Munich dunkel and a Franconian
kellerbier. Pretty solid.

pours a darker golden honey color, minimal head. nice uneven lacing down the side.
smells like a dark honey. sweet, caramel-y malts in the aroma and in the taste. minor bitterness longer after the liquid is down but it's actually very balanced. some healthy carbonation rising in the tall Paulaner glass.
trying to check my son's homework but incredibly distracted by this greatly balanced, semi-sweet, delicious brew. i like the even taste and the european accent.

Two fingers of head on a cloudy copper colored body.
The aroma is malty, barnyard, hay and caramel. It borders musty, but it's still nice.
The flavor has a malt sweetness, mild bitterness and a curious spice note at the end.
Smooth texture with low carbonation and heavier body.
An enjoyable beer. The taste is a bit different with the spice, but it's a good addition.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
I just found my notes and the good looking label that I had carefully soaked off of this bottle.
Coppery orange color with an off-white, creamy head. Thick sheets of lace stuck to the glass.
Biscuity malt smell, but also alot more hoppiness than I was expecting.
The flavor also had more hop strength compared to the malt. A bit tough to put into words, as I was expecting a malty marzen / winter ale. Slightly buttery, and caramel notes, but more akin to a pale ale.
Mouthfeel is medium, carbonation level gave it a smooth finish.
Pretty average all in all, I guess I was expecting something more and different.

Wow. Big name for a beer. But would it live up to all that? Out of a bomber this beer was a clear orange color with lots of rising carbonation that produced a cap of tan head. The retention was good and it left lacing in sliding bands. The aroma was of dry grains, caramel malt, hints of pepper and fruit. The flavors were pretty dry overall and not spicy like I was expecting. Mostly toffee and caramel first followed by some doughy malt and a bit of green apple. The finish was mildly hoppy and crisp/dry. A curious combination, especially for a winter beer, but not at all unpleasant. It wasn't much of a stand-out either, just sort of blasé. The mouthfeel was good, the body medium and the carbonation frothy.

Bottle from Binny's in Schaumburg, IL
No obvious bottled on date
Poured into a US pint glass
Weltenburger has produced a solid winter lager with its Winter-Traum, as it is pleasing in all areas. For those who enjoy German styles, this is a must-try as it is delicious, relatively low in alcohol, and affordable for an import at $3 per bottle.
Pours a voluminous head of dense, off-white foam that coalesces at the top of the glass into a meringue-like structure. The head slowly dissipates over a few minutes to a thin cap of bubbles atop the body. The collapsing of the head results in columns of lacing along the sides of the glass that are disturbed, but augmented and re-supplied with each sip. Body is a moderately dark golden brown out of the light, a mid-intensity amber when in it. Transparent bod with slow, visible carbonation.
Smells of rich, dense caramel and deep golden malt syrup alongside spicy and herbal components from the hops. Nearly reminiscent of a doppelbock in aroma. Also a faint hint of cloves, but unsure what this could be from. Enjoyably complex for a lager.
Taste has a whole-grain bread, malt-forward opening that is also joined with herbal hop components. Mid-palate picks up mild hop bitterness and increasing levels of caramel and bready malt components. Mid to back of the palate shines, as I get: a mild spiciness from hops; a certain herbal character; fruit, particularly plum in the back that peaks and then returns to caramel malt flavors. Aftertaste is bready and somewhat biscuit-like.
Beer is medium to medium-light in body, with gentle, but noticeable carbonation that creates a smooth-flowing mouthfeel on the palate.

Pours a clear golden caramel hue with a big fluffy three finger head that stays and leaves nice everywhere,the smell is sweet toffee,caramel,sticky date pudding and a touch of hops,the mouthfeel is medium bodied and slighty creamy and has tastes of caramel pudding,candied figs,sticky toffee and marzipan with a light ever present slight hoppiness that keeps the sweet in check and overall its definately one of the better Marzens out there and would drink again.

,Poured into pint glass. Typical dark reddish clear body, but with a very nice frothy head that lasts. Not too much on the nose, just a maltiness and a faint vegetable characteristic, like cooked stringed beans. A little more on the palate, good malt presense, sort of earthy flavors. Wet, crisp, refreshing and drinkable. Can't call it complex, but definitely not undrinkable

Pours a bright orange with impressive clarity and a big sticky white foam head. Some dark fruits on the nose with underlying notes of dark fruits.
Medium body yet its a bit watery on the finish. Some dark fruity taste up front. Some toasted biscuit. No detectable hop presence really. Grapey like taste which is odd due to the light color. Definitely a strange oktoberfest at a strange time of year.
Some good butter toast like notes in this as well.
Okay beer. Nothing spectacular. Definitely doesn't remind me of winter.

Bottle purchased at Maruhn in Darmstadt, Hessen (Germany)
Pours a clear dark copper-gold with a full, foamy head.
Aromas of toasted malts, bread, lager yeasts, rotton fruit, and copper.
The taste was a little surprising with a slight smoky flavor (reminiscent of cigarette butts), hints of raspberry, and mild rust. The full fruity and roasted malt finish is quite nice.
Overall the beer has a unique character and the flavors have clear definition. It is balanced nicely, and the smokiness, though unexpected, is subtle enough to be pleasant. Unfortunately, I enjoyed it less as it sat; certainly not a session beer. All the same, I would recommend giving it a try.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into lager glass. Deep amber color, minimal head, which dissipated quickly (Note: glass was just rinsed out and wet from previous beer). Typical spiciness for a German Christmas beer. Lower alcohol content, but a smooth taste. Not so spicy to dissuade casual drinkers, but a nice tart aftertaste. No lacing on glass. I'd drink this year round if it was available...

Poured from 500mL bottle into a pint glass. Label says this beer is 5.4% ABV, rather than the above-noted 5.2%.
Appearance: light orange hue with a little bit of murky haze. head is two fingers of frothy ivory foam. Not bad.
Smell: rich aroma with a sweet, fresh malt character and just a hint of graininess. I like it quite a lot.
Taste: nicely malty flavor which is a bit drier than the aroma would suggest. Bitterness is low but noticeable at the end. The flavor is quite simple, but it's clean and it appeals to me. Good stuff.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a good level of carbonation. It's a little more to the fizzy side rather than creamy, but it's got a decent enough texture.
Overall: I rather like this beer. I don't always like Oktoberfests, but this one really does work for me.

Area superintendents collectively expressed the gravest of concerns Tuesday regarding a 300-page bill drafted for Gov. Rick Snyder that would overhaul how public education is administered in the state of Michigan.
Calling Senate Bill 1358, House Bill 6004, and House Bill 5923 "radical and dangerous," Oakland Schools Superintendent Dr. Vickie L. Markavitch told attendees at the Royal Oak Middle School gathering place "unbelievable things are happening in Lansing."
More than 360 people, including superintendents from Royal Oak, Lamphere, Bloomfield Hills, Clawson and Southfield, attended the afternoon and evening sessions of what was billed as a "call to action."
"There is really important work that has to be done," said Markavitch. "What's worrying me about this work that has to be done is it's being pushed forward so quickly, so fast and in such a rushed order that it's almost faster than people can learn about it."
The bills sitting before the lame duck session of Lansing would put students at risk with untested, untried forms of schooling, Markavitch said.
Talking points
Of HB 6004 and SB 1358 Markavitch had this analysis:
- The bills require the Michigan Department of Education to collect a list from all school districts of their unused buildings so they can be leased or sold to charter, nonpublic and EAA schools."It's about seizing buildings paid for with tax payer dollars," Markavitch said.
- The EAA and its schools would not be subject to the same laws and provisions of public schools. "Maybe there is an agenda for special interests, who avoid prerequisites for quality and requirements of transparency…and who have no recognition or concern for research based best practices," Markavitch said.
- The bills are also tied to HB 5923 or the "New Forms of School Bill," which would allow charter schools to specify the student body they want to serve. "How many of you on any given day would like to specify the student body that you serve? But we don't. We serve them all. We love them all," Markavitch said. "The bill allows for discrimination against students on any number things. A new and dangerous move and that is why I call it undemocratic and un-American."
Podcast available

In addition Oakland Schools offers these supporting articles, research and resources:

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study – (TIMSS)
- Highlights from PISA 2009
Call to action
"For more than 20 years a group has been trying to get public money for private forms of education. In the old days this was called vouchers and the American people defeated this soundly. And, in Michigan it was defeated not once, but twice," Markavitch said.
But the folks pushing it are persistent, and profiteers, Markavitch said, have since joined them trying to corporatize public education.
"How do we compete with a $1 million, maybe with a million voices," the superintendent said. Markavitch asked people to take action and contact their legislators through the Tri-County Alliance for Public Education Legislative Action Center website, which helps users craft emails and encourage others to do the same.
"In education we can never afford to spin the data because we have real problems to solve. They look at us every day with real eyes. They listen to us with real ears. And, we can't give them false data," said Markavitch.

Rock Versus Hard Place
by, 12-04-2012 at 07:00 AM (1144 Views)
One of the more interesting times in every offseason is when the rhetoric goes away and the choices become, often painfully, clear. Rock, meet Hard Place.
The Hard Place is where the Twins are: fronting a rotation with Scott Diamond next year. Diamond, by Twins general manager Terry Ryans own analysis, is a #3 starter. Hes clearly scouring the winter meetings for upgrades. But like Charlie Brown at Halloween, all hes getting is a whole lot of Rock.
Here are the available pitchers who could be considered an upgrade over Scott Diamond. (FYI These guys are all profiled in the TwinsCentric Offseason Handbook.) Tell me which one you think the Twins should go after.
- Zack Greinke Will likely get a nine-figure deal over at least six years.
- Jake Peavy Re-signed with the White Sox for 2 years at $29M with a vesting option for a 3rd year.
- Hiroki Kuroda Re-signed with the Yankees for 1-year/$15M.
- Dan Haren Available. Hes getting getting interest from lotsa East-coast clubs.
- James Shields Only available via trade, and probably not to the Twins after they traded away Denard Span.
- Edwin Jackson Available. Most recently rumored to be courted by the Angels.
- Anibal Sanchez Reportedly called a 4-year/$48 million offer from the Tigers a few weeks ago insulting. Says he is seeking a 6-year/$90M offer.
- RA Dickey Available via trade from the Mets. The price for him is very high.
- Brandon McCarthy Still available. However, several teams have expressed an interest in him including the Red Sox, the White Sox, the Cubs, the Royals, the Diamondbacks and the Twins and the Angels and Rangers are also expected to join in.
- Ryan Dempster The 35-year-old has been linked with the Twins, Diamondbacks and Brewers and is searching for a 3-year deal, likely for around $13M per year.
- Kyle Lohse Represented by Scott Boras. Nuff said.
If youre looking for some trends to take from this, it appears that each of these guys (with the possible exception of Haren or maybe McCarthy) is pushing for (and probably likely to get) $13-$15M per year. Also, each is looking for a deal at least one year longer than any fiscally sane club would want to give them.
This is the interesting time, or, if you prefer, hellish. Its looking more and more like teams are going to need to pay to play. We can look at a 5-year/$65M deal for Jackson or a 3-year/$33 million deal for McCarthy and say thats crazy, and were probably right. But we cant do that and then rip Ryan for not upgrading the rotation, or settling for names like Brett Myers, Kevin Correia, Joe Blanton or John Lannan. This is the way free agency works. The vast majority are overpaid. It is the nature of the system. When a player signs with the one team that offers him the most money, instead of the 29 that dont, odds are that player is overpaid.
We can rip the Twins for putting themselves into this position this is why minor league development is so important but that ship has sailed. If we want to focus on the problem at hand, the choices seem to be overpay or settle. Rock or Hard Place.
Which way are you going to go?

What T.Boone Pickens Gets Right and Wrong About OPEC
What T. Boone Pickens gets right and wrong about the future of oil markets.
In a recent CNBC "Squawk Box" interview, T. Boone Pickens, the billionaire oil man turned natural gas investor and advocate, said approval of the Keystone XL pipeline would make OPEC obsolete. A compelling statement, for sure.
And he tells a plausible tale. He noted that the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet safely shepherds OPEC oil through the Strait of Hormuz from where it moves on to Europe and China. The U.S. incurs the full cost of that military protection, but we receive only 10 percent of the 17 million barrels per day being shipped through that channel.
So, yes, it makes sense for the U.S. to seek greater access to Canadian oil, and, conversely, reduced reliance on OPEC. Pickens said the Canadians have reserves of 250 billion barrels and "that's exactly what the Saudis claim they have." But this is where the facts can get in the way of a good story.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gas prices.]
Current data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, OPEC and oil industry sources place the Saudi Arabia oil reserves at 267 billion barrels. EIA and Canadian sources, including Oil & Gas Journal, place Canada's oil reserves at 173.6 billion barrels. So there's a difference of 93.4 billion barrels, but maybe Pickens would consider that of little consequence.
Of course, when credibility matters, it's important for people speaking to news organizations to get the numbers right. And it's equally important for reporters to check everything, and not accept numbers or other data at face value.
A little hype here and there has never hurt Pickens and it doesn't invalidate his broader point. Like many others, Pickens advocates greater ties with N. American suppliers – Canada and Mexico – because collectively, increased production and supply surely has the potential to supplant the 1.7 million barrels per day (or thereabouts) from the Middle East. And that's something we should see, hopefully, in less than a decade.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
Nonetheless, forecasts of OPEC's obsolescence may be premature, even though WTI crude traded below $100 per barrel this week for the first time since July 2nd and global prices have eased because of slow growth from emerging markets and decreased tensions over Syria and Iran,
China is fast becoming OPEC's single largest customer, as its oil imports (6.3 mbd) already exceed U.S. imports (6.1 mbd). And even slight economic growth in China translates into greater Middle Eastern ties where China has aggressively invested in further oil exploration and refining. What do you suppose their quid pro quo might be?
For OPEC, global demand and markets may shift but only a fool would bet against the house.

If you've been told that your particular room isn't suitable for a home theater because the projector would need to be placed too far from the screen, Runco's new Ultra series may be the solution. The company has taken some of its most popular models and added Ultra versions for longer throw distances (the distance between the projector and screen).
The projectors to receive the Ultra treatment are the the 3Dimension D-73d Ultra, LightStyle LS-HB Ultra, QuantumColor Q-750d Ultra and QuantumColor Q-1500d Ultra. Throw ratios on the new versions go from 2.40 – 4.00 while the standard lenses sport throws of 1.85 -2.40.
Runco points out that a longer two distance also allows integrators the ability to install projectors in more out-of-the way locations, such as installed in a wall soffit, rather than hanging from a ceiling post in the middle of the room. Interior designers (not to mention the people who live in the house) should like this. With more projectors being installed in multi-use rooms rather than just dedicated theaters, installations that look good when the lights are turned on have become more important.
Prices for the Ultra versions of the projectors below:
D-73d Ultra - $59,995
Q-750d Ultra - $22,995
Q-1500d Ultra - $44,995

Trailer Inns RV Parks
[ 10/10 ]
Located right off I-90 at exit 11 this is a great base to explore Seattle. The roads and sites are all hard paved. The roads are a little narrow, but we had no trouble getting in with a 40' RV and toad. We witnessed the manager assisting a 43' into a site. The utilities worked well including cable. We will stay again when in the area.
Hatfield, Pennsylvania
Village Scene Mobile Home Park
[ 9/10 ]
Great urban park near Philadelphia. Wide roads, easy to maneuver big rigs. Restroom / showers in process of paint and upgrade. Site hookups convenient; voltage good & stable. We will stay here again when visiting the area.
Capitan, New Mexico
Mama Bear RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This park is located in town directly next to Smokey Bear Historical Park and is close to Lincoln, Fort Stanton and Ruidoso. We're traveling in a 40' motorhome with car in tow. The entrance is a tight right turn from the east but we used part of the westbound lane and got in easily. The entire lot is gravel, so there's plenty of room to maneuver into sites. Most sites are full hookup with 50 amp. Water and electric worked well. I noticed a voltage drop under heavy load, but never less than 116 volts. There is one bath house for all. It was clean and the water was warm with good pressure. Verizon aircard worked well. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We definitely like this park.
Roswell, New Mexico
Red Barn RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This is a pleasant small park surrounded by farm land. There are 3 or 4 full hookup 30/50 amp sites for transients; 2 are pull through. Water is good. Electric dropped 5 volts under heavy load on a hot day. Showers are clean and work well. We were east bound on US 380 in a 40' coach with car in tow. We had to use part of the west bound lane to make the turn. There was little traffic so it was not a big event to do so. The sites are a narrow, but not the worst we've encountered over the years and the people are very friendly. We were assigned a back in site. There was plenty of room to maneuver into the site. We did call 5 days in advance to reserve a spot and recommend doing that. Price reflects Escapee discount and includes tax.
Winter Garden, Florida
Stage Stop Campground

This is a nice older park. There are some park models here; most are kept up. Sites are fairly large on grass with concrete pads. Sites are 50 Amp or 30 Amp, you select which you need. This park is close to Orlando with easy drive to Disney. This is a great place to use as base for area attractions. Lots of road construction on SR50 (W. Colonial Drive), but it's easy to enter and exit park.

We loved this park! We stayed for the month of December. The sites are good sized with lots of shade. Most sites are grass/gravel and all had a concrete pad. The park grounds crew is always busy and the park looks like it. It's very well maintained. The park roads are paved with blacktop and rain water drains very well. The bath houses are meticulously clean and there was plenty of hot water with good pressure for showers. The pool is large and heated. We used it whenever the sun would shine and it warmed up to 60 or so. There is a very nice clubhouse area with regular adult activities. There are a lot of snowbirds who participate in the activities. They formed a band and played for the New Year's Eve party: a fun time had by all. Included Wi-Fi worked well and cable TV, also included, had a good channel selection. The park is close to shopping in Oldsmar, Safety Harbor and Clearwater. Our cost reflects the monthly rate. Electricity is additional. We definitely plan to stay here again.

Nice small New York State Park. Restored lighthouse on grounds; tours available. Lake view sights are rather close together, but we were able to get a 40 foot motorhome in and leveled. Some sites along lake are grass. Good location to base exploration on Niagara Area, including Niagara Falls, of New York State. Some organized events scheduled during summer.

Several 50 amp sites near front of park near building. Other sites are 30 amp. Most sites have sewer and water also. No pool or organized events. Very easy trip to Niagara Falls, NY. Friendly staff. Very quite. Great place for base to tour Western New York.

RichCimini Rich Cimini #Jets will hire former Miami coach Tony Sparano as new OC, according to @mortreport. I am kinda shocked, they where able turn this around as soon as Bill Callahan left its like they had a plan....Its seems to me that Bill more then likely had a choice to be the new OC but when he left the Jets had a backup plan.....They where just trying tno to screw Schottenheimer .....but at the end of the day they had too...
Brian Schottenheimer will be back next season.
Being adaptable helped the Jets win.
