PLYMOUTH--With landing gear lowered, the big, noisy Super Hornet jet slowed and swooped down on a Washington County cotton field as if to plop down on an aircraft-carrier deck.
About 200 feet from touchdown, it leveled off, powered up and roared away, clearing the way for another jet to repeat the maneuver.
The Navy staged the recent demonstration to show how pilots would practice landing F/A-18 Super Hornet jets at an airfield it wants to build there. Area residents trying to stop the project were unimpressed. They say a site miles from the ocean and near one of North America's most important winter retreats for migrating waterfowl is no place to mimic aircraft carrier landings. Plans would place the runway in an area at severe risk for bird strikes, which can damage aircraft or cause crashes.
But where can you find 45 square miles for an outlying landing field that will handle 31,000 noisy landings a year?
The Navy says it has looked elsewhere and stands behind its choice of 30,000 acres straddling the Washington-Beaufort county line, about 135 miles east of Raleigh. The site, near Plymouth, is in a lightly populated area midway between the Oceana Naval Air Station at Virginia Beach and the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station at Havelock, the stations where Super Hornet squadrons would be based. Land acquisition is under way.
Opponents, however, continue to press for a review of alternatives. Use existing military bases, they say, or bases and aircraft carriers that are no longer in service. Put the airfield in a huge, single-owner farm in Carteret County or at the under-used Global TransPark at Kinston. Build a platform in the ocean, some suggest.
Wary of antagonizing voters or the Pentagon during an era of military cutbacks, state and local officials are caught in the crossfire. Gov. Mike Easley wants to boost military spending that pumps $18 billion into North Carolina's economy, and communities near military bases fear that opposing the airfield would threaten existing bases or Navy plans to station more jets at Cherry Point. "Military friendly" is the catch phrase that state and local officials prefer to the "NO-OLF" message plastered on hundreds of signs near the planned airfield.
Easley, who rejected calls for a special session of the General Assembly aimed at gaining jurisdiction over the land, last month appointed a 19-member panel to gather more information about the landing field and to report to him by the end of April. He said that it is "good news" that North Carolina is the Navy's first choice for an airfield but that all involved need to talk more about the best place to put it. Easley is among those who say the Navy should build another runway at the Cherry Point air station in Craven County, an option the Navy has rejected as impractical.
Looking at one farm
Some say the Navy should reconsider Open Grounds Farm, a 44,000-acre grain operation near Morehead City in eastern Carteret County.
The U.S. Department of the Interior endorsed Open Grounds in November, calling the selected site too close to Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, where more than 100,000 snow geese, tundra swans and other birds overwinter. Aircraft noise could force the birds out, refuge biologists have said. Interior officials noted that environmental groups favored Open Grounds, where any damage to wetlands could be restored and where, with one owner, land acquisition would be less disruptive. Last month, Interior officials withdrew their objection to the Washington County site but reiterated concerns about the wildlife.
Dan Cecchini, who led the Navy's study of potential sites, said Open Grounds was deemed too close to existing training areas, including a Marine Corps bombing range.
Another drawback: The farm's manager, Gabriele Onorato, said Open Grounds is not for sale.
Owned by the Mario Visentini family of Italy, Open Grounds is one of the largest corn and soybean operations east of the Mississippi, agriculture officials say. The 9- by 12-mile tract has mile-long fields spreading across the tabletop terrain and towering metal grain bins that hold a combined 1.2 million bushels of grain. Onorato said the Visentinis would like to expand, not sell out.
"After we did all this," he said, "we don't want to make an airstrip out of it."
But Charles Allen, a Washington County farmer, said the land the Navy wants is not for sale, either, and has many owners. Buying from a single owner would be better than uprooting dozens of families, some of whom have owned the land for generations, he said. He farms near the buyout area and fears the Navy may one day want his property, too.
"There's got to be a better alternative," he said.
Picking a place
Before settling on the Washington County site, the Navy reviewed 27 locations, including some that critics continue to suggest. Two sites in Virginia were rejected because of proximity to major highways, airports or developed areas. A site in rural Craven County near Vanceboro was a finalist then deemed unacceptable because of extensive wetlands. The Navy also decided against building a runway parallel to an existing one at Cherry Point, citing conflicts with regular flight operations and congestion.
Early on, Craven County officials and Cherry Point supporters said they were willing to accept the airfield if jets would be based there because of the economic benefits it would bring. The Navy plans to place two squadrons, or 24 jets, at Cherry Point, which would bring about 800 military personnel, 2,342 dependents and an estimated $43 million in direct annual impact on the local economy.
No jets will be based at the landing field. Opponents say Washington County, where the field will be built, and Beaufort County, where the Navy is buying land for a buffer zone, have only noise to gain and 30,000 acres of taxable farmland to lose.
Marc Basnight, state Senate president pro tem, said the best place for the training facility is "in the water." In letters to North Carolina's congressional delegation, the Dare County Democrat said the Navy should consider building an offshore platform in the Atlantic Ocean or in Pamlico Sound. The Navy has a Mobile Offshore Base program, which says such platforms are feasible.
Basnight said a permanent platform would reduce the risk of bird strikes and provide a more realistic practice area because it is surrounded by water. Moreover, he said, it would be free of the economic liabilities associated with a ground site. The chosen site is in one of North Carolina's most depressed areas, and some critics say an airfield would stifle development by tying up land and discouraging industries and tourists. In addition, opponents say, it would put residents in danger from jet crashes.
A similar-sized training platform could be built 10 miles offshore for an estimated $400 million to $600 million, Basnight said.
The Navy says that's too costly. As planned, the landing field is expected to cost $186.5 million to build and about $253.1 million to operate over 30 years. The platform idea never moved beyond the research stage, Navy officials said, and it couldn't be constructed as soon as the Navy needs it. The landing field is scheduled to be in operation by 2007.
If an offshore platform is unacceptable, Basnight said, the Navy should consider using a decommissioned aircraft carrier. A study could determine whether refurbishing the ships is economically feasible, he said.
The best spot?
An idea to put the landing field at the Global TransPark at Kinston received a flurry of attention after retired Army Gen. Hugh Shelton endorsed it. Shelton, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and co-chairman of the N.C. Advisory Committee on Military Affairs, said last month that a landing field would bring additional military flights and supporting facilities that would be an asset for the TransPark.
The TransPark was established 13 years ago as a manufacturing center that would create thousands of jobs in Eastern North Carolina. Plans called for huge cargo planes to dock near warehouses and manufacturing plants where they would deliver raw materials and ship out finished goods. But the business and the jobs haven't materialized. The TransPark's twin 11,500-foot runways -- among the longest east of the Mississippi -- don't carry the commercial traffic once envisioned.
Basnight said the state could consider deeding the 2,000-acre property to the military, eliminating the Navy's land acquisition costs. "A full business case review of this site seems very much in order," he said.
Darlene Waddell, the TransPark's executive director, said that its governing board had received no proposal to use it as a landing field and that she doubted the facility meets the Navy criteria for 30,000 acres in an isolated area. The TransPark is adjacent to Kinston's industrial park, with several manufacturing plants.
"The bottom line is, it's not a fit," she said.
The Navy agrees. Its study found the TransPark not feasible for the airfield.
Whether the Navy adequately considered alternatives is raised in federal lawsuits filed by Washington and Beaufort counties and three conservation groups that hope to block the airfield. A federal court hearing is scheduled for March 30.
Navy officials say all the alternatives were adequately evaluated, fulfilling requirements of federal environmental laws in the process. In a formal response to the lawsuits, the Navy said opposition to the Washington County site amounts to little more than a disagreement with the Navy's conclusions.
The conservation groups' lawsuit contends that the Navy began by studying 78 possible sites to base 10 squadrons of F/A-18 Super Hornets and arbitrarily rejected all but three -- Oceana, Cherry Point and a Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, S.C. The lawsuit says the Navy did not consider using the other installations as home bases or as an outlying landing field.
According to the lawsuit, the Navy eliminated nine former military air facilities on the grounds that the large number of Super Hornets would be incompatible with general aviation and commercial aircraft. Twenty-two Army installations were deemed unacceptable because supporting facilities were too small. The Air Force determined that 27 East Coast facilities were not available. That left Navy and Marine Corps facilities.
Once the three potential Super Hornet bases were identified, the Navy began to look at nearby sites for the outlying landing field. In a separate study, the Navy said that 27 potential sites were identified after an initial screening and that six sites -- five in North Carolina and one in Burke County, Ga. -- were picked for further review. Besides Washington and Craven counties, the study suggested sparsely populated spots in Perquimans, Bertie and Hyde counties.
Basnight also suggested inactive military facilities in Carteret, Onslow, Jones and Moore counties. He said North Carolina has offered to accept a landing field because it has had a good relationship with the military. The location must be mutually agreeable, he said, and the state should push for more jets at Cherry Point because they will bring more people and more spending. But he acknowledged in an interview that any alternative is likely to encounter opposition.
"Nobody wants this if you think about it," Basnight said.

Perhaps to make up for last night's stormy behaviour, Elisheva braided Naomi's hair tonight. I think it looks wonderful – thoroughly bohemian!
Naomi didn't want to show me at first – I think she was afraid I'd make her pull them all out…
Math table!!! Big kid doing math test, little kid doing rod addition!
Following my new choose-her-own-Miquon philosophy, Naomi chose and worked this entire sheet almost without complaint! Numeral reverals are still troubling her, and she gets very frustrated when I point it out, so I have backed off a bit.
Rainbow Resources sells a Cuisenaire Rod Track and I decided it would be a good thing to have – two days too late to add it to our order last week. The track itself costs only $4, but with shipping, well, a lot more. So I decided to make one to tide us over until my next Rainbow order (this was only my third, so really, they're not very frequent).
Here's the REAL THING:
And here's my DIY version!
They didn't have any trays that were a) this long, b) this sturdy and c) not quite so seasonal… sigh.
There is exactly 1cm between the rulers, allowing up to 30cm of rod length to slide neatly in between (the original is 50cm long). The three rods at left add to 27cm (10+9+8); so do the seven rods at right (2+1+6+1+9+4+4).
I hope it'll look slightly less gluey when it's dry, but really, I couldn't care less. We'll have the real thing soon enough, no doubt. It's only $4, and looks way deeper than mine, so GZ would probably enjoy it for lining up his trains.
Speaking of cheap n' cheerful, I was thinking more about sandpaper letters and quickly threw these together while Naomi was practicing Handwriting Without Tears today. She did the ones on the right: I wrote the letters with marker and she traced them somewhat messily with glue.
To make the raised letters, I used the dyed baby pasta I made for our Israel map project back in June.
Fun with manipulatives!!!
Adapted from the Vayishlach pages of Parsha Pages for Sefer Bereishis, this is a basic overview of the continuation of the parsha story in a traditional "Q&A" format, easily reworked for kids of any age. Answers in brackets are traditional responses, from parsha text and midrash. But be open to anything your child might have to say!
Please see below the Vayeishev overview for how we use them in our homeschool! I also have several copywork sheets to go with the weekly parsha.
In the beginning of this parsha, יוסף is still in jail!
פרעה had two strange dreams:
In the first dream… (seven skinny cows swallowed seven fat cows)
In the second dream… (seven skinny stalks of grain swallowed seven fat stalks of grain)
פרעה's שר המשקים (wine butler) told him about a person who could explain the dreams… (יוסף!)
יוסף told פרעה that the dreams meant a famine was coming!
How many good years would there be first? (seven)
Then how many years with not enough food? (seven)
יוסף had some advice for פרעה… (save up food during the good years)
פרעה needed a wise person to help save up food… (so he chose יוסף!)
יוסף went from being a slave to being a very important person in מצרים.
פרעה gave יוסף … (jewellery, clothing, a ride in his chariot) to show how important he was.
פרעה gave יוסף (his own ring!) to show that יוסף was in charge.
פרעה also gave him a new מצרי name… (צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ)… and a wife (אָסְנַת).
יוסף and אסנת had two sons, אפרים and מנשה… (on שבת, we bench boys to become like them…!)
יוסף saved up more than enough food! Then, the famine came.
Was the famine only in מצרים? (no, it was also in ארץ כנען)
יעקב sent ten of יוסף's brothers to מצרים… (to bring back food for the whole family)
Which brother didn't יעקב send? (בנימין; he didn't want to lose the last of רחל's sons)
Did the brothers recognize יוסף when they got to מצרים? (no, they did not!)
יוסף recognized his brothers, though. He decided to test them!
What did יוסף need to find out? (if his brothers had done teshuvah for betraying him)
יוסף gave his brothers some food, but said if they wanted more, they had to bring… (בנימין)
Did יעקב want to send בנימין? (no, he did not!)
One of the brothers promised to be in charge of בנימין… (יהודה)
The brothers went down to מצרים again to get more food.
As they were about to go back home, יוסף ordered his guards to open… (בנימין's bag)
What did the guards find there? (יוסף's silver cup!)
Did בנימין really steal the cup? (no, יוסף's guards put it there)
The guards told the brothers that בנימין would have to… (stay as a slave in מצרים)
Are the brothers going to leave בנימין as a slave, the way they did with יוסף?
יוסף wants to make sure they've learned their lesson and will stick up for their brother.
We'll find out whether they have done teshuvah in next week's Parsha…
A dreaded word when you have a newborn. Dreaded and yet a blessing – at least you know there is enough, unless there is too much and your baby is drowning every time your milk lets down.
It happens: gulp, gulp, gulp – he has to pull off, take a break, because you are the proverbial milk factory.
Now that my baby is three years old, he is no longer in danger of drowning, to say the least. Now, I am rarely sure anything is "going on" when he has his nummies; now, I savour every last one of our cuddles, because he'll announce "all done" at any second; now, he is falling asleep on me less and less often (how will I know when it's the last time I feel his body twitch and go perfectly still, his breath a soft melody against me); now, I know he will not be mine, in the same way, ever again – and now, being engorged is a welcome feeling.
Now, it reminds me sweetly of when he was small. Of course, it is never too painful now, just a fleeting pang-iness when I have missed bedtime and have a little too much to go around. I don't bother doing anything about it, except maybe try to linger a bit longer the next time, if he'll stick around – he has a busy life now and not much time for cuddling.
With a tiny baby, engorgement was a panic thing – because of supply and demand, every time it happened, I was sure there would be less milk next time. Yet we've survived; he seems to have gotten more than his share.
Now, it just reminds me that we are closer to The End than I might like.

Other "weekly challenges" I participate in that may or may not interest you:
Hi! We are a Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.
Newcomers, read my MPM intro here which tells you all about who we are, or just visit my super-duper-list-imization of Everything We Eat.
Last week was pretty bad, mealwise, with not one but TWO pretty major crash-n-burn episodes. Not literally burn, or crash, but it always feels like a massive failure when I cannot get supper on the table by 6:15ish. On Tuesday, I wasn't feeling well and Ted was home, so we ordered pizza, for a change. And then on Thursday, the sourdough cornbread turned out very, VERY badly. Nothing much we could do except eat it, but nobody has touched the leftovers. Sheesh – I just realized; what a terrible week in bread.
Perhaps to help with the burnout, Ted seems to have stepped up as the Shabbos menu-planner. I don't mind – he either preps everything himself or at least tells me what to cook. I love leaving my brain out of it entirely. Maybe I'll have him post his Shabbos meal plans directly on here. He usually plans it out on Wednesday before he goes shopping… so organized!
Anyway, for this week in family meals, I'm aiming low. Low, low, low… here we go!
Sunday (last night, Mommy & Abigail here): CORN FRITTERS (My mother complained through the whole meal that they were NOT her mother's corn fritters, though I'd never claimed they were. I make mine with beer batter and they are utterly savoury and delightful.)… leftover Pumpkin Black-Bean soup from last Thursday, spread farther with extra frozen pumpkin, cider and curry powder… plus Susie Fishbein's Spicy Carrot Sticks. Yum!
Monday (tonight, Ted late): Ted "made" supper – perogies, fish of some sort, and frozen peas (thawed and cooked, of course)
Tuesday: Pasta with fake-crab alfredo sauce – YM has spoken!
Wednesday (Chanukah): Traditional latkes, of course!!! Maybe with chicken wings? Or is that too weird a combination, or too much fried-type stuff (I do the wings in the oven, so maybe it's okay)… I am craving chicken wings, though!
Thursday (Vegan Vursday, still Chanukah): Pumpkin latkes plus… what…? Soup?
Friday (still more Chanukah, sheesh): I have no clue what to eat, as always.
Check out this inexpensive homemade magnetic bulletin-board idea for scheduling your family's activities! (or arranging various homeschool subjects and events!)
In this context, it's a meal plan scheduler (and yes, I know it's Monday and I don't have my menu plan up yet!), but I can think of about a bazillion more uses…
Last thing before I turn in – I forgot to put in a plug for our current Hebrew book (in addition to the Hebrew Mr. Brown can Moo!)
It's called חנן הגנן/Chanan HaGanan, and it's a very cute story by רינת הופר/Rinat Hoffer/Hopper? (I have no idea, really!)
The rhymes are so catchy I quickly found a way to sing the refrain of the book and the message of this story is wonderful.
Chanan sells his fruits to five children, promising a treasure inside every one. The kids eat the fruit, but complain that all they see is the pit. He tells them gently that the pit IS the treasure. One by one, they plant their seeds, and five wonderful trees spring up, each one bearing fruit, and each fruit carrying its own treasure.
A great story for Tu b'Shvat or any old time. The vocabulary is not very challenging, and it introduces good vocabulary like אילן, עץ ,פעמון ,גן, and, of course, many exotic fruit-names! We have never tried most of the fruits, including persimmon, guava, dates (fresh).
The tree pictures are so silly; both kids love sitting and staring at them and finding the not-tree objects growing in them: an egg, a boot, a pretzel, a key.
This is our second Hoffer/Hopper book; the first was Ayelet Metayelet, which was also a fun read with the same addictive rhymes.
Oh, wow. I just discovered this YouTube video where you can hear the story read as a class of kids acts it out – no wonder that kid has a cast on his arm, the teacher is letting him climb up a folding table! OMG, my kids will love this video!!! It's adorable!
Just thought I'd share this…
I have been getting more than a bit frustrated "doing" Miquon math, and I had a revelation over Shabbos. Which I always hate, because I can't write it down… on the other hand, it forces me to keep whatever it is IN my thoughts so I don't forget.
So here was the revelation: I'm working too hard to do it in order. Of course it's dull doing so many pages of counting or number lines or whatever – you're not supposed to do them in order. That's Part One. Part two is: I'm trying too hard.
Miquon is supposed to be student-directed, whereas we've been doing it like our other subjects, where I demonstrate a concept, Naomi explores it for a bit, she works on the worksheet, and DONE.
No, no, no, no, no.
I reread the First Grade Diary, a guidebook that (kind of) shows how one teacher (the woman who created the program) teaches math with Miquon, and it hit me like a lightbulb.
In the First Grade Diary, the lessons are usually divided into at least two parts, one teacher-directed, playing a game, demonstrating a concept, etc. And then a second part where kids choose activities and/or pick lab sheets to "experiment" with.
Yup… the KIDS choose the worksheets. Well, then! That's a little different, isn't it?
So this afternoon, I ransacked both workbooks (I have the first two, Orange and Red, but may get the next two if we continue with this new system), tearing out every single sheet I felt Naomi Rivka was remotely ready for.
Not just addition, which we have been dutifully slogging through, but measurement, inequalities, geometry, odd-even, because I think it would be fun and easy, and – because she's really into clocks right now – the first of the "time" worksheets.
So far, I've hole-punched all the torn-out worksheets and stuck them in a binder, roughly grouped into topics and separated by dividers. And THAT is what we will use for math this week, and perhaps from now on.
Not the thick workbooks, with all their irrelevant (or rather, not-yet-relevant) pages, but this binder, which has exactly 16 pieces of paper in it so far. This seems to me a very lovely number: not overwhelming; perfect for child-directed learning.
It's almost Montessori in its elegance.
p.s. Bonus! This method will also allow me to incorporate occasional worksheets from elsewhere – online printables, selections from her Clock Math book or even this cute Dreidel Graphing exercise from Mommzy over at Jewish Homeschool. Or cool printables from this site I've just discovered!
Not that I'm in favour of MORE worksheets. No busywork, please! Just fun with math…
Last night's gingybread is done! I think it looks great, and you know I don't say that about most of the slapdash craft projects that take place around here...
I love this roof!
Here's what we used for decoration:
Won't you come inside, little children, so I can fatten you up...???
Hi! Welcome to my blog! For some reason, this nondescript entry has become one of my most popular posts of all time. I have no idea why. It's not entirely typical of this blog. So if you think this is weird and random, click here to get to the REAL excitement. If you're here for gingerbread-baking tips, which the blog is NOT about, well, read on. :-)
(oh, and check out my baking blog here)
It's gingerbread time again! This is an extremely goyish thing, I know… and yet, and yet. Being at Pioneer Village last weekend, surrounded by the waft of gingery aromas in all the houses… well, we may be Jews, but we're also Canadian, and gingerbread is a Canadian thing – NOT an Xmas thing. Especially if it's still November while you're doing it!
I chose an interesting pattern online, for a haunted house, but that's okay… I like the jaunty angle of the walls, but otherwise, it looked simple enough.
(it says to print the squares to one inch – I enlarged it but mine still came out smaller… I was okay with that because it was big ENOUGH)
We mixed up my classic reliable gingerbread recipe. Naomi helped!
We took an evening walk to my mother's house to pick up some hard candies. All she had was Ricola cough drops and some sugar-free ones. I wasn't sure if the sugar-free ones would melt properly and/or be disgusting, but I took them anyway.
Rolled it out with a wine bottle instead of the rolling pin because I used butter and I want to keep the rolling pin pareve.
Traced and cut out the pieces (I did most of it – Naomi was dragging the knife and her pieces kept tearing, plus her "straight" lines were wonky)!
Crushed up the Ricola and sugar-free candies to place in the windows – always my favourite part of making the house AND of the finished house.
I cut out one window in the shape of a letter "N" for Naomi Rivka, and then realized it makes it look like the word NO. Scary!
Baked the pieces in two batches, and we used a l'chaim cup to cut the extra dough into "coins". Here they all are!!! At this point, I read the kids a story, and put them to bed.
No way I'm doing burnt sugar with kids running around!
Fastest way to ruin a frying pan!
No pics of this step because I was working so quickly: glue, glue, glue, glue.
Smart-person tip from a pro! This year, I actually remembered to bring up a bunch of food tins from the basement ahead of time to prop up the pieces as they dry. With burnt-sugar, it only takes a few seconds, but in those few seconds, you will wish you had seventeen hands! Thank you, evaporated milk!!!
The gingy house looked very nice before I added the vestibule. We even made a lovely window on the house's front panel; I forgot that it wouldn't be visible… we ought to have done one on the vestibule instead. (doh!)
The vestibule didn't fit properly: I had to trim the roof so it would fit snugly, and then I did too much and had to trim the walls a bit also.
And, of course, it looks kind of gross with all the sugar goobered everywhere. (you can see the colour change in the sugar between the first pieces I glued and the last ones. The main roof went on last, and it has the darkest sugar.
That chimney is weird. I should have put it a bit lower down… or maybe left it off entirely. But really, these photos are quite forgiving – it's a bit ugly, but I'm not worried!
The true test of a gingy-house is how it lights up. This one didn't score so well on that front, I'm afraid. Pop in two tea lights and… underwhelming.
Peering into the dark, scary vestibule…!
Oh, yeah… and here's the original (taken from this site), just for comparison!
Nice!!! Ours is not TOO far off. And keep in mind that ours still needs to be decorated. It'll be fabulous, I promise!
Gingies of the past:
Postscript: here's what it looked like with the decorations!

I just brought brazen berry and neon red the brazen berry is way more brighter which I love but over all I love both colors I will be going back soon for electric orange and fuchsia.
This is a great lipstick! I love the colors and the way it will last all day without drying my lips out! I just grabbed the Brazen Berry on a whim and will be returning to stock up on the rest of these gorgeous colors!
SUCH BEAUTIFUL COLORS ! i normally go to nude colors, but i just couldn't help but try a couple of these shades, and i love them ! so daring and fun! so many dupes to high end brands too !
Purchased in Vivid Rose. The color is richly pigmented and versatile; able to put one coat on & blot for a muted vivid effect, or one rich coat on for full color effect. Either way, I then use a clear lip balm (nothing shiny) over the top, & love it!
I have one of the hot pink ones, and I love it because that's my favorite color and it really stands out. But everytime I wear it I have to go over it with a pink eyeshadow or blush because it's just too shiny. I would go nuts if you made them matte!

Monday's guest-star, Louis Brazil, loved his guest-star appearance so much, that he decided to surprise his daughter Zoe with a special birthday guest-star comic. For the theme, Louis wrote:
My daughter Zoe's 11th birthday is February 13th.
…Something very tech related for my daughter. Like most kids, she's pretty savvy about technology and get's the benefits of my working in the industry. She got her first iMac the day they shipping in August 1998 (she was 1 1/2) and has been going strong every since. Maybe something along the lines of how advanced she is even teachers seem to turn to her for help.
Happy Birthday, Zoe!

Chevrolet Avalanche Prices Paid and Buying Experience
I got my Avalanche through a local Lake county dealer via locator for the unit I wanted: Base unit, Hard Tonneau, Z71 package only. Pricing was $992 over invoice plus approx 1% advertising. I love it, have minor issues. See fpmike posts in Avalanche Pickup Townhall.
stockmut Posts: 21
I see you posted about using a credit card for your purchase to get the miles. I was just wondering if you used the credit card and how the deal worked out? I was going to do the same thing this week and would appreciate any input.
By the way did they compensate you for the missing tint?
ardaniels Posts: 16I had been keen on the versatility of the avalanche when I first saw one at a car show 18 months ago.
A month ago took delivery on a Forest Green Z71 out of dealer stock for $2500 under MSRP. Invoice data was pretty scarce so I offered 3% over invoice. GM did have a $1000 rebate for recent college grads on top of discount, plus had I waited 30 days they would have kicked in $150 bucks for College IRA for a child. Check it out on the GM website under upromise.
Love the truck and have about 2500 miles already as a result of motoring vacation.
showme1 Posts: 38Paid $500 over invoice, no haggle from one of the three states that they were released to first (CA, FL, & TX.) One could possibly do a little better with some hassle. My local dealers wanted about $1,500 over invoice so I drove through TX on the way back from vacation to pick mine up.
I ordered the mud flaps and bug screen from Chevy even though I know there are many aftermarkets availible. The bowtie mud gards have Avalache on the rear ones and I figured the bug screen would fit best from GM. I'll let everyone know when I install since dealer is shipping them to me.
miles2912 Posts: 7Filled out all the information, and a dealer contacted me withing 24hours. They said the price was 500 over invioce, pick what you want and they will locate it. They found the truck I wanted and Faxed me over the invioce. I just have to sell a vehicle, and I am good to go.
spike1966 Posts: 6Well, I can hardly stand it. I pick up my Avalanche at 4:30 PM today. I got mine $400 over dealer invoice. Out the door tax and title...$36,459.51. Its 1,459.51 more than I wanted to pay...but it has everything on it. I got the dark blue, sun roof, leather, heated seats & mirrors, 4 X 4, running boards, etc. I will let you know how it goes!
scottyn42000 Posts: 4Bought my Av this weekend through my local dealer in NH. Just like Spikes. List was $38421, paid $34902. $750 over invoice. I have read all the threads about the great deals in Cali and Texas. Thats nice, but I'm not driving down there to get my truck. The dealers up here have minimal(anywhere between 1 and 5 on every lot I went to) inventory of these awsome vehicles on hand. Geat experience with the dealer. I never went to the dealer to do the deal. Instead I was able to make the deal over the phone, and my Av was delivered to my house, and my salesman then drove off with my trade. That is the way we should all do business!
trypower1 Posts: 1well i did my homework before i started shopping for a av,hows 6100 off sticker on a loaded z71,$189 dealer fee,no ad fee.this translates to $1,200 under invoice,dealer is also giving me any aditional savings if october brings cash back! (oct pick up)im even getting the $150 from gm for my kids collage fund.yes i have done bussiness before with this dealer and i im a prefered customer,this also a imbound unit not one that was sitting around awhile eihter.i presume this dealer is still making some sort of money on this deal.so it goes to show you these guys at 500 over invoice are still making alot of money( about 2k )and with slowing economy,building inventorys at dealerships its time to get a deal!!!!!

After some research, I discovered that the wallpaper is from Mr. Perswall, a Swedish company that makes some pretty cool wall coverings and photomurals. [check their collections here]. They also do custom work and you can design your own wallpaper with one of your family pictures, how cool is that?
So, back to this awesome desk area, a workspace like this one would almost make me wanna work all day instead of enjoying the "spring-ish" weather! ;-)

-- Jaguars—Its November 6; they have no wins, and one loss by less than 14 points, a 19-9 loss in Oakland. Yikes.
-- Buccaneers—Led 21-0 in Seattle, which was impressive, then lost the game. Looks like the next coach at least has some talent to work with and an easy act to follow. I think they win the game on Monday night although it probably is the worst MNF game in a long time. Then again we just did see the Vikings vs. Giants a couple weeks ago.
-- Vikings—On opponents' first drive of each half in last five games (10 drives), Vikings have given up seven TDs and a FG. Not good.
-- Falcons—Bought a light for above my kitchen sink in Home Depot last week; that store is well-run, having a better year than Arthur Blank's more well-known franchise.
-- Steelers—Not often a network TV analyst says on-air that a team isn't giving its full effort, but that happened in 4th quarter of Steeler-Patriot game Sunday, when Phil Simms called them out. Would expect their best effort this week, just not sure how good it will be.
-- Lions—Rodgers' injury opens this spot up for Lions or Bears. Interesting game in Windy City Sunday- Detroit won first meeting 40-32. Roar!!!
-- Colts—At one point in Houston Sunday night, Andrew Luck was 6-20 passing; he rallied his team to win against a team whose coach/play caller had a stroke at halftime. Those are the facts.
-- Saints— 2-2 outdoors, with a lifeless win over the winless Bucs. Will they be able to win one outdoor playoff game to get to Swamp Super Bowl?
-- 49ers—On a roll vs dregs of league; Panthers come calling in post-bye test Sunday. WRs Crabtree/Manningham could return soon.
-- Seahawks—Last two games were wins, but very shaky vs poor teams. Falling behind Bucs 21-0 at home is a definitive red flag.
-- Chiefs—9-0 is 9-0, but they didn't score an offensive TD and were outgained 470-210 by team with undrafted rookie QB making his first NFL start. Two of their next three games are with Denver.
-- Panthers—If Dallas Cowboys had their resume, ESPN would televise all their practices. This is a good defense with a QB who was used to winning in college, and has finally had a strong first half of a season in this league.
-- Broncos—Best wishes to Coach Fox for a full recovery. Not 100% sure how much his illness disrupts things, since it is doubtful he had much to do with the offense and this is an offense-driven team.

Assistant Coach - Men's and Women's Track & FieldFifth firstname.lastname@example.com Astrauskas, who specializes in coaching the throws and pole vault, enters his fifth season on the University of Wisconsin men's and women's track and field coaching staffs in 2013-14.Astrauskas has sparked a renaissance in the Badgers' throws program for both the men and women, consistently putting athletes on the podium in Big Ten competition and advancing qualifiers to NCAA competition while re-writing UW's record books.
Under Astrauskas' leadership, Wisconsin athletes have established new school records in nine different events over the past three seasons. In addition, Astrauskas' athletes have added a total of 46 entries to UW's all-time lists between men's and women's events.Sophomore Dan Block claimed the conference title in the discus at the 2012 Big Ten Outdoor Championships, while senior Derek Steinbach also secured All-Big Ten honors with a runner-up finish in the javelin -- performances that were key to Wisconsin securing the Big Ten team title.In all, Astrauskas' men's athletes have secured six podium finishes in Big Ten competition, while his women's athletes have added three.Astrauskas has also contributed to the efforts of Wisconsin's multi-event crews, which have produced eight Big Ten titles in his three seasons mentoring the combined-event athletes in the throws.The Badgers' success has translated to the national level, as well, with Kelsey Card securing All-America honors in the shot put as a freshman at the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships.Outdoors, Astrauskas has qualified a total of 16 entries on the women's side and nine more on the men's side to compete in the NCAA West Preliminary Round over his first three seasons.That includes seven women's entries in 2012, with the Badgers' throws group advancing three athletes to NCAA competition in the shot put, two more in the discus and another pair in the javelin. On the men's side, Astrauskas' group advanced one in the shot put, two in the discus and two more in the pole vault.Block, Card and Smith all advanced to the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships, with Block and Card earning second-team All-America honors.All of the Badgers' success has come in record-setting fashion.Indoors, junior Taylor Smith set UW's standard in the weight throw at 69-11 3/4 before moving outdoors and breaking school records in both the shot put (53-3 3/4) and discus (182-0). In addition, Card now owns UW's school record in the indoor shot put at 55-8 1/2, while senior Megan Rennhack broke her own school mark in the javelin at 163-4.On the men's side, Astrauskas has coached athletes that have knocked off four school records over the past two seasons.In 2012, Block broke UW's all-time mark in the indoor shot put with a throw of 62-0 1/2 before moving outdoors and setting the standard in the discus at 195-8. The 2010 outdoor season was also successful for the Badgers, as Robert Dehn earned All-Big Ten honors with a second-place finish in the javelin at the 2010 Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Also, three female athletes and three male athletes participated in eight throwing events at the preliminary round of the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Astrauskas came to Madison from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, where he served as Director of Track & Field and Cross Country for the Cougars. SIUE made the transition to NCAA Division I during Astrauskas' final season at SIUE. He was head coach of the Cougar men since 2005, after three years as an assistant, and also was an assistant on the women's staff from 2002-2007.Astrauskas was named the Division II National Women's Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association for the 2008 indoor season, Astrauskas also earned three Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year honors from the USTFCCCA.During his tenure in Edwardsville, he also was named Great Lakes Valley Conference Coach of the Year 11 times, including sweeps of all four conference coaching honors -- men's and women's, indoor and outdoor -- in both 2007 and 2008.Astrauskas helped SIUE to a total of 18 Great Lakes Valley Conference championships in Division II competition during his first seven seasons on campus.The Cougars' men's teams won five-consecutive outdoor conference titles from 2004 to 2008, and Astrauskas saw his field event athletes earn 29 individual conference crowns.Astrauskas guided the Cougars to a fourth-place finish at the 2008 NCAA Division II Indoor Championships, the best showing in school history. The Cougars totaled 16 All-America honors between the men's and women's teams.In all, Astrauskas' teams at SIUE produced 101 individual NCAA All-America honors in just five seasons. In the 30 years prior to Astrauskas' arrival, the Cougars' men's program had produced just five All-Americans, while the women's team had just three.A 2001 graduate of Eastern Illinois University, Astrauskas earned degrees in biological sciences and chemistry while competing for the Panthers. He was a 12-time scorer in the Ohio Valley Conference for the Panthers and was part of seven OVC championship teams.

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Last week, a San Francisco federal judge threw a possible wrench into Facebook's plans to settle its 'Sponsored Stories' lawsuit. (In case you haven't been following, this is the suit filed by Facebook users that don't like that when they 'Like' something on Facebook, the company might turn them into a spokesperson for the coffee shop, sewing machine, muscle car, or drum of sex lube they 'Liked' in ads directed at their friends.) U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg questioned the settlement Facebook had reached with class action attorneys that would have put $10 million in the attorneys' pockets, $10 million in a cy prey fund to be distributed to pro-privacy groups, and a relatively paltry $37K for the plaintiffs who filed the suit. The settlement also requires that Facebook give users more control over how their faces wind up in ads on the site, which could cost the company $103.2 million in future revenue according to an economist hired by the plaintiffs who got a look at Facebook's finances.
Seeborg stepped in on the case after Judge Lucy Koh recused herself without explanation (perhaps because her hands are full with Apple-Samsung drama). Seeborg is shaking the settlement process up. In addition to pushing Facebook to reveal Sponsored Stories revenue figures that have been redacted in court filings, Seeborg's expressed skepticism about the settlement that both sides have agreed to, reports Wired.
"Why shouldn't the cy pres be $100 million?" U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg asked attorneys on both sides.
He suggested he might order the parties to return to provide more information on how it reached that amount. He was concerned that Facebook said the deal might cost them $100 million in advertising revenues, but only $10 million is being paid out. And that doesn't calculate the amount of damages for the 100 million Facebook users who have already appeared in Sponsored Stories, he said.
I'm sure the judge was thinking of Nick Bergus here, the Facebook user who famously wound up as a spokesperson for a 55-gallon drum of sexual lubricant this Valentine's Day, thanks to Sponsored Stories.
"I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with $10 million," he said. "My question is: Why is it $10 million?"
via Judge Skeptical of Facebook 'Sponsored Stories' Privacy Settlement | Threat Level | Wired.com.
Perhaps because that's the going rate to settle threatened privacy class action lawsuits judging from precedent. Let's review a few recent settlements:
The honest answer to this judge's "Why is it $10 million?" question would have been, "Because that's what tech companies pay to settle these things." (A class action lawsuit against Google for having its Street View cars sniff unprotected Wi-Fi networks is currently making its way through the California court system. Any one want to wager a a guess as to how much that will settle for?)
Mike Masnick at Techdirt makes a convincing case that these suits "are mostly about making lawyers rich," though they've also certainly helped the budgets of many a nonprofit. And they sometimes lead to some incremental changes at the companies. Netflix, for example, will no longer hold onto records of what its users watched for years and years. (If you're a Netflix user, you got an email about this recently.) And the Facebook 'Sponsored Stories' settlement requires that Facebook give users more control over which ads they show up in. They should also get a reminder that the price of a free service is that you're often subject to the whims of a company trying to make money off it.
Wired's write-up of the judge's hedging on the settlement ends with a significant inaccuracy worth pointing out:
Currently, Facebook does not allow any form of opting out of Sponsored Stories on Facebook.
Actually, there is one form of opt-out. Don't 'Like' anything you don't want to end up endorsing in an ad. Or to completely opt out, just don't 'Like' anything at all.
The real question is how can lawyers earn a fee for "settling" a lawsuit that pays their "clients" nothing and directs money to Facebook's friends? The judge is right to be skeptical.
The price of privacy is eternal litigation.
Opting out of Facebook entirely is another option.
Kudos to Judge Seeborg for taking seriously his obligation to make a finding, as required by law, that the proposed settlement is "fair, reasonable and adequate." Too often judges give a rubber stamp approval to a settlement simply because all the named parties agree to end the litigation. In most instances, resolving litigation by settlement serves society well by obtaining certainty, eliminating continued expense and consumption of court resources and by allowing all parties to move on. In class actions, however, the required finding is necessary because the settlement acts as a bar to any future lawsuits against Facebook by similarly situated account holders aggrieved by the sponsored stories program. This is the primary legal benefit to Facebook. For me, the judge should focus his inquiry on two questions: (1) why are no monetary damges paid to Facebook account holders? This seems odd since Facebook was sued because it allegedly violated a California law giving consumers the right to control the use of their names and images in endorsements, and (2) Does the settlement adequately require Facebook to revise it's program to better recognize and protect the privacy interests of Facebook users. The settlement does require Facebook to allow minors to opt out of sponsored stories, but doesn't accord that same right to adults. Instead, Facebook promises to create "a mechanism that will allow users to see and control which actions they have taken that led to their being featured in sponsored stories ads." HUH! Judge Seeborg should obtain a thorough understanding of what this actually means so he can intelligently assess whether the benefits the class is receiving is "fair, reasonable and adequate."
Kashmir, the issue is not the money. It's our privacy. Who wants your facebook advertising for facebook…
Facebook members must demand the right to OPT OUT of Sponsored Ads.
Its ridiculous that Facebook thinks they can bully everyone into accepting Sponsored Ads.
I dont want my face used in a Facebook ad.
Facebook has network effects. Without network effects Mark and Co. would have had strong competition a long time ago.
Facebook knows they can bully users. We have nowhere else to go. Everyone would have to leave Facebook for anyone to leave.
We need the right to OPT OUT.
The class action lawsuit settlement does not provide this to users.
Facebook is only agreeing to allow kids under 18 to OPT OUT of Sponsored Ads.
Do you want your face advertising for Facebook?
And soon it will be automatic based on things you do on other websites.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — BUFFALO — Tonawanda Coke's expert witness Marcia Williams testified Thursday that the company complied with every recycling regulation on the books — analysis that strongly contradicts the prosecution's witness testimony earlier in the trial.
Williams, a former Environmental Protection Agency official who now works as an environmental consultant, served as an expert for the defense on the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act, a federal law named in three of the 19 indictments against the Tonawanda Coke facility and its environmental manager.
Those three counts deal with the illegal storage, disposal and treatment of hazardous waste, namely by the inappropriate recycling of coal tar sludge, a byproduct of the coke-making process.
Previously, EPA and DEC officials said the company, in violation of RCRA, mixed the sludge back in with the coal on a permeable surface, and not a required concrete pad, before putting the mixed material back into the coke ovens to be cooked again.
As a result, contaminants were absorbed into the ground in the outdoor facility, quite possibly including benzene, a known carcinogen.
But Williams, who worked at the EPA for 18 years and helped develop a number of regulations, said that the material does not fall under RCRA's solid waste requirements, and that the plant did not engage in land disposal.
"There's no land disposal," she said. "Mixture on coal piles doesn't constitute land disposal."
She also said that the recycling process begins with the mixture of the sludge with the coal, and therefore, the concrete paid isn't even necessary.
Upon cross examination, Assistant U.S. Attorney Rocky Piaggione made a point of questioning Williams on her compensation for her testimony.
"Are you being paid for your opinion?" he asked.
"I usually try to get paid when I work. I think most of us do," she responded.
Williams then confirmed that her firm, Gnarus Advisors LLC, receives $475 per hour for her work on the case, which she began in April 2010. She also admitted that she has never visited Tonawanda Coke or another coke plant, and has also never testified for the U.S. government.
But shortly after that line of questioning, Piaggione began to struggle with delivering clear questions amid numerous objections from the defense team. After Williams answered one question, Piaggione responded saying he and Williams have a "difference of opinion."
The misstep earned him a scolding from the usually amiable Judge William Skretny, and a few minutes later, the jury took a break while Piaggione worked to revise his questions.
After Piaggione finished his cross examination, the jury was able to ask Williams questions of their own, many of which dealt with the plant's handling of abandoned waste in tanks on the property.
The trial will resume Monday with one remaining defense witness on the docket. The government will then offer a brief rebuttal case, and will recall Philip Flax of the Environmental Protection Agency to again testify in contradiction with Williams' opinion.Contact reporter Jessica Bagley at 693-1000, ext. 4150

It happened again. Another heartache for a poor adorable kitty that was just dropped off and abandoned.
It seems that our village is a handy place for unfeeling people to just abandon their unwanted pets. I wonder how a person like that could have such disrespect for life. Would they treat another human in such an inhumane way?
You most likely recall the column I wrote about Zorro, the long-haired tuxedo-type junior kitten who adopted our daughter. He seemed to be a drop-off, too, because of the deplorable condition he was in ... so skinny and his long hair so dirty. That poor cat didn't look like he had seen a brush or comb in his whole little life. He just wandered around the village for days looking and searching for a happy home to be warm and loved in.
Yes, he's still here and he's now beautiful and healthy. Our hearts went out to him and he knew who would be his friends. Animals know ... they have emotions, too.
As I most emphatically wrote back then in the April 18, 2009, column of this newspaper: "The righteous one is caring for the soul (life) of his domestic animal ..." And that's a firm directive from our Creator right from Proverbs 12:10.
And I should quote the entire sentence for it continues: " — but the mercies of the wicked ones are cruel." What does that tell everyone?
And now we have another "unwanted." We call him Tigger. He's a short-haired, beautifully marked guy with an astounding meow-yowl to voice his presence. He too is a junior kitten. Being housebroken and well-mannered, he showed us that he was someone's pet. Perhaps lost?
We asked the village folks and hung a poster but no replies. Finally a neighbor remembered that a person several doors up just moved out and, guess what, left their cat.
