CBC Dramas a No Fly Zone on Air Canada

Intelligence and Little Mosque were both on the inflight when I was on a AC flight last.
Intelligence struck me as odd since they chose a random ep from a heavily serialized show. Which is bizarre.
They absolutely should have Mosque, Heartland, Jpod, MVP, and The Border on the system.
Hell, if they were REALLY clever, they'd make Air Canada the first/only place you could see a sneak preview of upcoming show "The Session."
The reason why they don't? I suspect it's the same reason why it's so hard to find meticulously updated TV show websites in Canada: Nobody's minding the store, there's not the buget to update it often, and nobody takes enough pride in their work to make it happen.
Oh, and I betcha Fox returns Air Canada's calls. As anyone who calls a TV station or distributor (or any other business, really) knows -- in Canada, they don't return your calls. Like, ever.
Back in my journo days I never had to wait more than an hour to get a callback from an American source.
Canadian? I'm still waiting for the majority of my calls from 1994 to be returned. - June 23, 2008 at 11:30 AM

"how come on Air Canada.... there are no CBC options"
The only way you can get someone to watch the CBC is to hold them hostage at 36,000 feet for five hours.
Maybe there are no CBC "options" because of all the complaints. Air Canada doesn't want any trouble from its passengers on a long flight so it's best to offer entertainment which doesn't piss people off. - June 23, 2008 at 12:09 PM

bip-bip-zzzhh-Gra-zzzp-bbb-ffft. Sorry Bill, just tuning the the crazy radio away...-- the other thing I remember noting at the time from my seat at the back of the plane was that bycounting the screens, the two shows that everyone seemed to be watching were "CSI" and "Little Mosque."
You're right in that it's a tremendous promotional opportunity. Shame that they're not capitalizing on it. - June 23, 2008 at 1:33 PM

It's a miracle that flight made it. - June 23, 2008 at 3:40 PM
Forcing Air Canada passengers to watch the state funded cbc might not be such a bad idea as more Canadians watching those horrid state funded shows would ask themselves..."This crappola costs us a billion plus a year?, you gotta be kidding."...which might accelerate its death.

Be fair, Will -- it's the only way they get to feel important.
uh, anonymously important.
Fuck. You're right. It's just sad.
I think you see in the traffic (everybody reads this blog!) to comment (nobody comments anymore) ratio what Bill's decision to keep it up with the anonymouse option is doing...but hey, that's the call of the man. And if that means getting to hear the same tired, witless shit over and over, hey -- it's still better than CPAC! - June 25, 2008 at 1:40 PM

"And if that means getting to hear the same tired,
witless shit over and over, hey - it's still better than CPAC!"
Censor dissent - do not allow anyone to make an anonymous comment on a blog which is designed to promote Canadian state funded culture.
Good for you dmc for recognizing that we all need to feel important by posting anonymous comments?
And if anyone ever criticized Canada's state funded culture and signed their own name dmc, willie dixon and the gang would be leveling personal attacks and worse just like the nazi's did back in the '30's.
And isn't it curious how dmc challenges the conservative government for their position on bill C-10 arguing that by denying financing to films which are socially unacceptable is censorship while those who post on a blog criticizing state funded culture should be censored.
What a fat hypocrite - June 25, 2008 at 3:17 PM
dmc is a wannabe liberal elite that have hijacked the country from Canadians spewing their mantra - "this is for me and that is for you"...only problem for liberal bootlickers such as dmc is they ain't got the cash, only the crumbs their masters toss them, sad really.

US Employment Report Disappoints Again
Published: 5/4/2012
April payroll employment growth came in at a disappointing 115,000, the bad news tempered slightly by upward revisions to prior months. The unemployment rate fell 0.1 percentage point, to 8.1%, but that was only because the labor force shrank. Job growth has slowed in line with modest GDP growth, rather than GDP accelerating to catch up with employment.
Payroll employment came in at only 115,000 in April. Some of the sting of the weak jobs increase was taken away by the revision that took March growth up to 154,000, from 120,000. But the two-month slowdown is still very clear. Job growth in March and April averaged 135,000, down from an average 252,000 per month in the three months to February. And while the unemployment rate fell in March and April, both drops reflected fewer people looking for work, not greater employment.
In the payroll details, manufacturing added 16,000 jobs, down from 41,000 in March, showing its weakest gain since November. The gains were concentrated in fabricated metals and machinery (in line with recent months), but motor vehicle hiring slowed, and nondurables jobs were almost flat after a strong gain in March. Overall manufacturing production-worker hours rose 0.5%, a positive sign for manufacturing output growth (after a drop in hours during March). Construction was a negative, but only a small one, losing 2,000 jobs. The "warm winter" boost helped construction in December and January, but has since faded.
Private services employment growth was 116,000, down from 128,000 in March, and the slowest month since August. The biggest gain was in retail (up 29,000), where a bounce was no surprise after two sharp declines in February and March. Professional and business services (up 28,000), food services (up 20,000), and healthcare (up 19,000) continued to show strength. Temporary jobs rose 21,000; the 9,000 drop in March proved to be just a correction after an outsized 50,000 increase in February. But there were drags from transportation and warehousing (down 17,000) and from arts and entertainment (down 15,000). Within transportation, an 11,000 drop in ground transit may have reflected the timing of school holidays (affecting school bus drivers).
The government sector shed 15,000 jobs. Federal employment dropped 4,000. State and local government employment fell by 11,000, after giving hints of stabilization in previous months. The timing of school holidays may also have played a role here, since the entire drop was explained by 11,000 fewer jobs in local education.
The private workweek was unchanged at 34.5 hours. A steady workweek combined with only a small increase in private employment generated a small 0.1% increase in hours worked, reversing March's dip. Hours worked surged 3.8% in the first quarter, the strongest quarter yet in the recovery. The second quarter appears on course for a more subdued increase of around 2%.
Average hourly earnings were flat month on month and up just 1.8% year on year (y/y)—still well below the CPI inflation rate, which is at present 2.6% y/y. The continuing decline in the unemployment rate may raise questions about how much slack actually remains in the labor market, but the absence of wage inflation suggests that slack is plentiful. Overall payrolls (wages multiplied by hours) rose just 0.2%, suggesting only a small increase in private wages and salaries during April.
The lower unemployment rate, at 8.1%, reflected a 169,000 drop in household employment, combined with an even bigger 342,000 drop in the labor force. The labor-force participation rate (the proportion of the adult population in the labor force) hit a new low for this cycle, at 63.6%, a level not seen since December 1981.
The most comprehensive measure of underemployment (U-6)—which includes workers who would like a job but are not currently looking, plus those working part time who would rather work full time—remained at 14.5%. The picture remains very bleak for the long-term unemployed. The proportion of long-term unemployed (27 weeks or longer) did fall to 41.3%, from 42.5%, which at first glance seems encouraging. However, the drop in labor-force participation suggests that reduced long-term unemployment reflects people giving up the search for jobs, perhaps because they have exhausted their unemployment benefits. The longer that potential workers remain either unemployed or on the sidelines outside the labor force entirely, the less likely that they will ever get back into employment.
The rapid 250,000-plus job gains in the three months to February were inconsistent with the modest pace of recovery in overall output—GDP was up only 2.2% in the first quarter. It now appears that jobs have decelerated into line with GDP, rather than GDP accelerating to catch up with jobs.
The employment deceleration results partly from warm winter weather that pulled some hiring forward, producing a payback now. For that reason, we think that the March and April payroll figures understate the pace of recovery, and look for a better but still subdued pace of job creation at 150,000–200,000 over the rest of the year, in line with modest GDP growth running at or just above 2%. If that's right, the Federal Reserve probably will not be tempted to launch another round of quantitative easing.

Is there are particular method for banks or individuals when their capital is invested in the company before going public.
To make it more clear how was Facebook Inc. and Goldman Sachs deal valued at $50Billion and General Atlantic bought 2.5 Million Shares at a valuation of $65 Billion.
Does it mean Goldman Sachs will have returns double of its investment or more with time or immediately after it goes public?.Is this applicable for individuals too? If some high net worth individual would have invested in Facebook Inc. had it been valued $50Billion or if someone bought 2.5 Million shares at $65 Billion valuation.

Crowded Marlboro County shelters are being blamed for the increase of the roaming packs that are said to pose a danger to children and seniors and have reportedly tried to attack at least one postal worker.
"There is one group over on East Gibson Avenue, where my mom and brother live, " said McColl resident Anna Smith. "Then there was another, with several instances of a postal worker needing to spray them with mace."
According to Smith, the response of local law enforcement has been less than satisfactory.
"Marlboro County told (McColl police) that they couldn't do anything about it, but I just think that McColl officials aren't pressing the issue," added Smith.
Officer Heath Williams of the McColl police said that he gets calls frequently about stray animals, but that there is little recourse because of a recent decision by Marlboro County Animal Control to discontinue its stray dog pickups for non-violent animals in McColl.
"That's why these dogs are running stray. They used to go through Marlboro County Animal Control, but they got to the point in the last year where they said that they were over crowded. Now they say that they don't have the room."
Williams was told by animal control that it would only respond to reports of vicious, attacking dogs. He also said that McColl officials are investigating alternatives.
"If you come here, you'll see dogs everywhere and that's the reason why. They used to facilitate with us, but now they say that the budget cutbacks and overcrowding (have caused them to stop collecting animals in McColl)."
Asked if he had advice for people looking to take matters into their own hands, including those that might want to use firearms, Williams said that he makes sure people know they have a right to protect themselves.
"There is an ordinance about discharging firearms inside McColl, but I have to tell people, you have a right to defend yourself and your property from any harm."
Smith said that her mother bought a BB gun to keep the dogs away from her property.
"They have been in her yard, and next door my brother's six grandchildren can't even go outside and play," Smith said.
Workers at the McColl "Stop N Shop," which sits at the corner of Gibson Avenue and Main Street reported having seen the dogs, but said that they did not fear them.
On Tuesday afternoon several large, sickly dogs as well as a number of puppies could be seen roaming free in the area where Smith and others reported seeing the animals. There were also a number of children and adults walking the street in the same area.
Local concern
Vicious animals in McColl should be of concern to Scotland County residents, according to Karla Jo Milholland, interim director of the Scotland County Humane Society.
Milholland said that dogs commonly cross the border from South Carolina into Scotland County.
"It is a public health concern. And if there is a rabies epidemic, then the problem is even more worrying," Milholland said. She also encouraged Marlboro County residents to contact their representatives in government about the problem.
Calls to Marlboro County's public works office, which oversees the Animal Control division, were not returned by press time.

The EXP 2.0 is FAR FAR better than the "Z-Start" series which I also have on another bike, and dislike greatly. Simple installation, easy setup, and it WORKS. I have installed and set up 3 of these so far for myself and others. Everyone that rides a bike with one in wants one for their bike.

This was BY FAR the best upgrade to my bike. Shifting is smooth. Adjustability is great. No more messing with the clutch.

I was hesitant due to the price but I have run a Rekluse clutch in a few bikes and know they make a high quality product. I am a thrifty shopper so shelling out this much doe was tough. My stock basket was notched pretty bad so time for an upgrade. I researched and read many reviews of other brands. I am sure they are good but the Rekluse is a complete kit and I know that they make a tough product. It comes with the dampers, hardware, new backing plate, drill bit (for stock rivets), and lock tite. Just re-use the stock ring gear and thats it. Very easy to install if the proper tools are available. For the little bit of an extra cost I believe its a very good value for the money. After the install I thought I messed up my clutch due to the ease of the pull. Nope.....everything worked perfect and now my Rekluse auto clutch engages smoother and faster. Great product. Thanks RM and Rekluse!

I canâ??t believe how good this clutch system is! It was really easy to install and works so well. Its crazy to be able to put the bike in gear while at a stop and not touch the clutch. But this product makes it so much more fun to ride the bike and puts the power to the ground so much smoother. If you are thinking about buying this clutch just do it, you'll love it. Ive been riding dirtbikes for 12 years and this is by far the coolest, best thing I have ever put on any of my bikes!

When the Opportunity Center officially opens on Sunday, the ribbon-cutter will be my 7-year-old son, Isaac. He's been waiting for this day most of his life, having been designated for this duty by the board of the Community Working Group when he was all of 4 months old.

This article by Don Barr doesn't include some important background.
Some day when the history of fighting for the poor in Palo Alto is written, Don Barr and others will have their names writ large. As his article makes clear, he and many others worked, waited, contributed, prayed, urged, and slowly built the Opportunity Center.
They were then and are now the moral conscience of Palo Alto, a community with a long history of moral leadership. Joan Baez has been a local moral beacon for over 50 years�in the Civil Rights Movement and ever since.
Don Barr and his fellow activisits live the dictum in Matthew 25, where Jesus Christ says that neglect of the least of one's brethren is neglect of Him. It's also walking the talk of �love thy brother as thyself.�
Some of us recently formed the Community Cooperation Team to oppose a proposed City ordinance against living in a vehicle. Many homeowners supported us. Some of the people on the committee were unhoused, others were homeowners, others were renters, and some were Stanford students. One day one of us unhoused members was unhappy about finding that the doctor at the Opportunity Center wasn't there when he came in. He thought there should be a doctor there every day during regular business hours.
Another member of our committee and long time colleague of Don Barr--Norma Grench--said that she could remember when there was no doctor there at all. In fact, she remembered when there was no Oppportunity Center at all. Indeed, Norma is another of those, like Don, who worked and waited and gave so that there could be an Opportunity Center.
Palo Alto has a strong moral tradition that has led the rest of the community and even been a beacon for other communities. But there are also less-than-generous attitudes in Palo Alto. When the matter of whether and where to have an Opportunity Center was being discussed, people said, �This will attract homeless people from all over the Peninsula.�
That was a decade ago. The same voices said the same thing during the recent debate over the ordinance against vehicular habitation (VHO). It's still not true. Unsheltered people didn't rush to Palo Alto at the opening of the Opportunity Center nor with the postponement of VHO.
Like in every other place and in every other person there are good angels and bad angels vying for attention. We always have the choice to listen to whomever we want to be the most like. Sometimes people listen to their fears. Other times we listen to our hearts.
There have been a number of measures taken by the City of Palo Alto that could be described as efforts to exclude, discourage, and segregate those without fixed homes: the parkification of San Fransciquito Creek, University Avenue sit/lie ordinance, limiting restrooms in parks, closing parks at night, etc.
But there have also been successful efforts to engage and provide for the needs of those without fixed shelter�the Opportunity Center being the most noticeable. But there are also free meals every night of the week at various local churches. Many people, institutions, and faith communities are generous in donating time, money, clothes, space, and love. The Hotel de Zink shelters a dozen or so people at a different church every month.
There are parents who, like the parent in Don Barr's story, shudder at the idea of their child having anything to do with an unhoused person. And there are parents who sign up months in advance so they and their children can hang out with unsheltered people being housed at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church. They don't want their children growing up in fear. They want them to meet and encounter those less fortunate. The best school districts require their high school graduates to put in six or more hours volunteering in some charitable organization. They think it's good for kids to learn to give back.
Parents being fearful for their children is not unusual. People who will courageously listen to their better angels for no personal profit or material gain�they are a rare and very valuable blessing to this and any community.
Besides the many years of service and support that Don Barr has contributed to the causes of anti-poverty and the unhoused, he is currently the mentor and resource for Stanford students who are incorporating a permanent women's shelter like the Hotel de Zink. They, like Dr. Barr, work hard in the cause of helping others for no material or personal gain.
For information about contributing to the Hearts to Home women's shelter, please email email@example.com.

This is rubbish! When the argument in favor of the Opportunity Center was being pushed on Palo Alto, it was argued that street bums would be cleaned up, because the cops would have a place to send them. It did NOT happen...there are even more bums now, than back then. More car campers, too. Does the OC keep records showing where their inhabitants graduated from high school? If so, how many of them graduated from Palo Alto high schools? Even Victor Frost predicted that the OC would be a magnet, and he was right!
If Palo Alto bleeding hearts want to show their true measure, they will invite the homeless into their own homes or church parking lots. Hasn't happened yet.
I suggest you save your crocodile tears for those who are susceptible to them. Not too many in Palo Alto.

Home > Projects & Programs > Purple Line Extension > Notice of Field Work - ...
Metro contractors are preparing to conduct a series of geotechnical field tests in the Century City area as a part of the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (Final EIS/EIR) for the Westside Subway Extension. This work will build on the data gathered during the Draft EIS/EIR for the project and provide further soil and seismic information along the route of the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). In certain areas, noise and vibration tests will also be conducted. Following the tests, the data will be analyzed and used to make further informed decisions about subway construction.
During this next part of testing the work performed will consist of different types of testing. Weather permitting, testing will be performed:
Metro contractors will conduct work at Santa Monica Blvd between Century Park West and South Moreno at the following times:
Monday, May 16 – Friday, May 20; 9am – 3:30pm & 9:00pm-5:00am
Saturday, May 21, 8am-5pm
Note: Should any work need to be cancelled and rescheduled, Metro will inform you of new work date(s)/time(s).
The equipment to be used during the field tests is described below:
Continuous Core Drilling
Hollow-stem core borings will be drilled using a truck-mounted drilling rig advancing a core barrel into the ground by spinning a 6- to 8-inch diameter casing with a drill bit into the ground to collect samples of the various soil layers. After the exploration is completed, the soil cuttings generated during drilling will be placed in drums, tested for adverse chemicals, and disposed of off-site on a daily basis. The work areas will be scanned for utilities prior to drilling, and the upper soils will be hand augered. At the conclusion of drilling, the hole will be filled with grout and its top patched with asphalt to match the surrounding grade.
What to Expect During Continuous Core Drilling:
Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT)
Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT) will consist of a truck, which advances a steel cone tip into the ground by pushing approximately one-inch diameter steel rods attached to the cone tip. As for all borings, the work area will be scanned for utilities prior to drilling, and the upper soils will be hand augered. At the conclusion of testing, the hole will be filled with grout and its top patched with asphalt to match the surrounding grade. Parking lanes and traffic lanes will need to be coned off during work hours.
What to Expect During CPT Soundings:
"Mini-Vib" Truck Seismic Surveys: Equipment to be used will consist of a "Mini-Vib" truck, seismograph recording truck, cable sensors, electric generator and a geophysical survey crew of up to 6 people. Sensors will be placed along the street. Approximately every five feet, the truck will place a "plate" on the surface of the street, then, vibrate the plate in order to take a reading of the vibrations along the street (see photo). The "Mini-Vib" truck will move through each testing location and remain in front of any given location for about 15 to 20 minutes. Residents may encounter some moderate noise as the truck performs the test. The sound level at a distance of about 50 feet from the truck should be no more 70 decibels, or similar to that of average daytime traffic.
"Micro-Vib" Seismic Surveys: Equipment to be used will consist of a portable "Micro-Vib" vibration source box, seismograph recording truck, electrical generator, cable sensors, and a geophysical survey crew of up to 6 people. Sensors will be placed along the street. Approximately every two feet, the portable "Micro-Vib" box will be vibrated by the electrical generator source (see photo). The "Micro-Vib" box will be moved manually through each testing location and remain in front of any given location for about 20 to 30 minutes. For "Micro-Vib" box testing, the sound level should be no more than 60 decibels, or similar to light daytime traffic.

Following the January tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), the Internal Revenue Service announced recently it plans to open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30.
The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on that date after updating forms and completing programming and testing of its processing systems. This will reflect the bulk of the latest tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The announcement means that the vast majority of tax filers — more than 120 million households — should be able to start filing tax returns starting Jan 30.
The IRS estimates that remaining households will be able to start filing in late February or into March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes. This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. Most of those in this group file more complex tax returns and typically file closer to the April 15 deadline or obtain an extension.
"We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible," said IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller. "This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems."
The IRS will not process paper tax returns before the anticipated Jan. 30 opening date. There is no advantage to filing on paper before the opening date, and taxpayers will receive their tax refunds much faster by using e-file with direct deposit.
"The best option for taxpayers is to file electronically," said Miller.
The opening of the filing season follows passage by Congress of an extensive set of tax changes in ATRA on Jan. 1, with many affecting tax returns for 2012. While the IRS worked to anticipate the late tax law changes as much as possible, the final law required that the IRS update forms and instructions as well as make critical processing system adjustments before it can begin accepting tax returns. The IRS originally planned to open electronic filing this year on Jan. 22; more than 80 percent of taxpayers filed electronically last year.
Bobby Hatcher, of H&R Block in Rockingham, said, "We are not going to be able to actually file a tax return with the IRS until Jan 30. We will be able to prepare the tax returns and send them to our host in Kansas City and as soon as the IRS will accept them the host will send them. The IRS is also saying to expect your refunds from an e-filed tax return in less than 21 days where they used to give us a funding chart that showed 10 to 17 days."
The IRS anticipates that the vast majority of all taxpayers can file starting Jan. 30, regardless of whether they file electronically or on paper. The IRS will be able to accept tax returns affected by the late Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch as well as the three major "extender" provisions for people claiming the state and local sales tax deduction, higher education tuition and fees deduction and educator expenses deduction.
"It's going to be as easy for tax filers as ever if they go to a trained tax professional," said CTI Tax Professional Lella Jones of Rockingham. "They need to be able to take advantage of people who are trained because there are some changes that have taken place. We are doing classes for professionals at the present time to make sure they are up to date."
While Jones agrees that some tax filers may think going to a professional is more costly, she said a trained person can catch mistakes and save you money in the long run.
There are several forms affected by the late legislation that require more extensive programming and testing of IRS systems. The IRS hopes to begin accepting tax returns including these tax forms between late February and into March; a specific date will be announced in the near future. The key forms that require more extensive programming changes include Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits), Form 4562 (Depreciation and Amortization) and Form 3800 (General Business Credit). A full listing of the forms that won't be accepted until later is available on IRS.gov. As part of this effort, the IRS will be working closely with the tax software industry and tax professional community to minimize delays and ensure as smooth a tax season as possible under the circumstances. Updated information will be posted on IRS.gov.

POINT PLEASANT — The Mason County Commission is moving forward with upgrades at the Mason County Airport and a complete overhaul of the basketball courts at the old Ordnance School.
At Thursday's meeting, Shawn Tucker of Chapman Technical Group, presented Mason County Commissioners Bob Baird and Rick Handley with an engineering agreement concerning the airport project. Tucker said the grant is in place for the project which is 90 percent funded by the federal government and 10 percent funded by the state — this means the county has no money in the improvements but will reap the benefits.
The notice of award for the project was issued to Stealth Limited out of Cross Lanes in the amount of $70,100. Tucker said the contract is scheduled to begin on Sept. 4 with the end date on Dec. 12. This will include a major overhaul of the electrical system at the airport among other work.
Also, work is to begin on the complete overhaul of the basketball courts near the old Ordnance School starting Sept. 4 and continuing throughout the month of September. A fence will be placed around the work area to keep those off the new asphalt and area until it's completely ready. This work will include tearing out the old court completely due to an unstable surface, building a new base, repaving and repainting the area. Myers Paving got the job with a bid of $56,000.
Also, commissioners approved the financing package for new police radios which are required for operation after new federal mandates were put in place starting in September. The total cost of the new radios and equipment which will be compatible with new Federal Communications Commission regulations is $177,250. Of that total, the county had to finance $77,250 at 3.15 percent interest for three years through low bidder Country Roads Leasing out of Bridgeport. The county's monthly payment on the loan is $2,200 per month.
County Administrator John Gerlach said much-needed repair on the courthouse's roof will hopefully take place next week and he had talked to the roof contractor that morning about the issue. The roof, which is still under warranty, has been leaking badly on the upper floors, causing multiple problems to the ceilings and walls in some offices which keep buckets nearby to catch the overflow after a good rain. Gerlach said after talking to the contractor, the fix to the roof will include cutting out sections of the roof, replacing those sections, re-patching and re-foaming them. After this is completed, the interior damage will be fixed, Gerlach said.
Commissioners thanked Chuck Lanier for his service on the Mason County Public Service District Board. They then appointed Kenny Flemming to the PSD Board.
Commissioner Rick Handley reported he'd traveled with Point Pleasant Fire Chief Jeremy Bryant, Mayor Brian Billings and City Clerk Amber Tatterson to Charleston to a conference where fire chiefs asked the state fire commission to consider how some unfunded mandates are hurting volunteer fire departments. Handley said fire commission members said they would rethink some of these mandates and sit down with fire chiefs to discuss a solution. If volunteer fire departments fail, it falls to the county to provide fire coverage for residents.
Commissioners approved a proclamation proclaiming Sept. 23-29 as Mason County Retired School Employees Week.
Commissioners approved a list of poll workers and and polling places for the November election as presented by County Clerk Diana Cromley. Cromley also reported some of the voting equipment had been inspected last week and was ready to go.
Commissioners took a moment to remember the tragedy involving the shooting death of a West Virginia State Police Trooper, Cpl. Marshall Lee Bailey, earlier this week. They also mentioned Trooper Eric Workman who survived the shooting as being the son of Clay County's County Clerk. They also mentioned Roane County Sheriff's Deputy John Westfall who was also injured in the shooting and is the husband of the Roane County Assessor and brother to Lisa Westfall. Commissioners also took a moment to remember the late Dr. Michael McGinnis.
Also, commissioners took a moment to recognize former county employee Jane Bird who recently took home the top pie prize at the West Virginia State Fair for her Chocolate Caramel Pecan Moose pie. She won a blue ribbon, a collectible Fiestaware plate from the fair and of course, the bragging rights to having the best pie in the state. Commissioners presented Bird with a certificate while Bird presented those at the commission meeting with a free, and sweet, sample of that award-winning pie.

Republicans Try to Get Another Gun Rights Vote Out of the Dems
July 20, 2009 - by Donny ShawUPDATE: The amendment was defeated on 7/22 by a vote of 58-39.
The Democrats may hold a 60-vote, filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate, but on one big issue, the Republicans have managed to run all over them. Twice so far this session, Republicans have passed controversial gun rights legislation by picking off dozens of Democratic votes from rural and southern states. In February, the Senate voted 62-36 to allow people to carry guns in Washington D.C. and in May they voted 67-29 to allow people to bring guns into national parks.
Now the Republicans are trying for a third gun rights amendment, their furthest reaching yet, and it is expected to pass the Senate with the help of Democratic defections as early as Tuesday,
The amendment, No. 1816 to S. 1390, the Department of Defense Authorization Act, would allow people who are legally allowed to carry concealed weapons in their home state to carry their weapons in any of the 48 states that have some form of concealed carry law. This would effectively let people from states with very liberal gun laws, like Vermont or Florida, to carry their guns into states that require more training and where it's much harder for a person to get a gun, like Massachusetts and New Jersey. Under the amendment, once gun owners leave their home states, they would be required to follow the concealed carry laws of the state they are in, including limitations on what kinds of places they can bring their guns to.
The amendment is being offered by Sen. John Thune [R, SD], pictured above. It has one Democratic co-sponsor, freshman Sen. Mark Begich [D, AK], affording it bipartisan status.
Thune considers the legislation a crime prevention proposal. "Research shows that states with concealed carry laws enjoy significantly lower violent crimes rates than those states that do not," Thune said in a statement. "Since criminals are unable to tell who is and who is not carrying a firearm just by looking at a potential victim, they are less likely to commit crimes when they fear that they may come in direct contact with an individual who is armed."
Many of the Democrats that voted for the D.C. gun amendment (23) and the national parks gun amendment (27) are expected to vote for the Thune amendment. This includes prominent Democrats such asSen. Max Baucus [D, MT] and Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid [D, NV].
Some Democrats, however, have vowed to do everything they can to block the amendment from passing. Sen. Charles Schumer [D, NY], Sen. Richard Durbin [D, IL] Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D, CA] and Sen. Frank Lautenberg [D, NJ] are planning to hold a filibuster when the bill comes to the Senate floor and are doing everything they can in the meantime to convince their fellow Democrats that voting for the amendment would be a mistake, both politically and for public safety in their states.
Below is Schumer's statement on the amendment:
This amendment is a bridge too far, and could endanger the safety of millions of Americans. Each state has carefully crafted its concealed-carry laws in the way that makes the most sense to protect its citizens. Clearly, large, urban areas merit a different standard than rural areas. To gut the ability of local police and sheriffs to determine who should be able to carry a concealed weapon makes no sense. It could reverse the dramatic success we'vie had in reducing crime in most all parts of America. In the past, the gun lobby has had as its rallying cry, 'Let each state decide.' With this amendment, they are doing a 180-degree flip. Whether you are pro-gun or pro-gun control, this measure deserves to be defeated. We will do everything we can to stop this poisonous amendment from being enacted.
Here are a few news and blog post about the Thune amendment:
- Thune, Lautenberg Clash on Concealed-Carry Gun Proposal (Washington Whispers).
- Mayors Against Thune Amendment (First Read).
- Democrats Scramble to Block Thune Gun Amendment (Capitol Briefing).
- The philosophical fraud of the 'Thune amendment (Atlanta Journal Constitution).
- Families, Va Tech survivors oppose US gun measure (AP).

The common ground here is the background check, whereas each state has determined the citizen in good standing to lawfully carry a concealed weapon. The fact that one state has more liberal carry laws than another is negated by ensuring each state's law is enforced. If you lawfully carry, you to need to know the law for that state. I don't beleive that's too much to ask, or expect. It's a good law and I hope it passes. Schumer lives in a world of armed protection from someone else. What does he care about a normal person who is trying to protect themself. If restricting guns makes us so safe, then I'll gladly give up mine when the secret service and law enforcement give up theirs.
I believe in second amendment rights! If you are issued a consealed wepons permit, Just like a drivers license you should be able to carry in ant state! Mind you that you must be investigated by the state police before you are issued a consealed wepons permit! Anti gun states like New York, New Jersey, and California infringe on our second amendment rights. Just take a look at ther crime rate? They can't stop the criminals from useing ther guns in the comission of a crime! We all should have the right to defend ourselves nomatter what state were in!

DAVOS, Switzerland — Coffee output in Central America and Mexico, which account for 14 percent of the world's bean output, may fall as a disease affecting foliage spreads.
Guatemala, Central America's second-biggest coffee grower, may lose a third of its crop because of leaf rust, President Otto Perez Molina said Thursday in Davos, Switzerland. The crop in Costa Rica may be 30 percent to 40 percent smaller because of the fungus, President Laura Chinchilla said in a separate interview in Davos. Coffee exports from Honduras, the region's biggest grower, will be down 767,000 bags due to leaf rust also called roya, the Honduras Coffee Institute, or Ihcafe, said.
Coffee production in Mexico and Central America will be 19.7 million bags in the 2012-13 season that started Oct. 1, the International Coffee Organization estimated in a report on Jan. 9. That is 2.8 percent lower than the previous forecast of 20.3 million bags, data from the London-based group showed. Farmers around the world will harvest 144.1 million bags, the ICO estimates. A bag of coffee weighs 132 pounds.
"The roya situation and the potential that next season's crops may be impacted is certainly a current focus of the market," Keith Flury, an analyst at Rabobank International in London, said by email Thursday. "If the Central American crop is lower this will support coffee prices."
Arabica coffee futures traded on ICE Futures U.S. in New York declined 37 percent last year, the most in more than a decade, partly because of a bigger crop in Brazil, the world's largest grower, and rising stockpiles. The beans favored by Starbucks Corp. were the worst performing commodity in the Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 raw materials last year. Prices are up 1.9 percent this year.
Guatemala's government will help growers cope with losses from the foliage-attacking disease, Perez Molina said. Costa Rica will provide aid to farmers affected, said Chinchilla. The disease will probably spread throughout the region as last year's slump in prices reduced farmers' income, limiting their ability to pay for chemicals to treat crops, said Stefan Uhlenbrock, an analyst at F.O. Licht in Ratzeburg, Germany.
"The minister of agriculture briefed us at the last meeting and told us about the impact, which could be very big," Perez Molina of Guatemala said. "The government will help farmers, especially small-and medium-sized ones."
The damage in Costa Rica may be "very high," Chinchilla said. The Costa Rican Coffee Institute, known as Icafe, cut the nation's production estimate to 1.648 million bags from a previous forecast of 1.714 million bags, it said on Jan. 4.
Mexico and Nicaragua are also battling the disease.

An Evening with John Cleese
17 March 2012, Comedy Theatre, Melbourne.
As I walked into the Comedy Theatre on Exhibition St there was a buzz of celebration in the air. The large crowd gave the very distinct impression that something big was about to happen. John Cleese was set to tread the boards within the half-hour and there was a sense of anticipation in the crowd. Though it was largely an audience of older gents, there were certainly a few young fans mingling with the longtime fans, which created a strange kind of unity within the audience.
Presiding over the evening was ABC Radio presenter Richard Stubbs, who had the unenviable task of interviewing one of the funniest men in showbiz. The first half of the evening was largely a retrospective on his career and life. This would have been more interesting to hardcore fans than for the casual fan, and as I fall into the latter category I felt that in parts the first half dragged. A lot of information was shared about family life and Cleese's home town, and in parts it felt very rehearsed.
What was interesting however, was finding out about the interconnectivity that existed in the arts scene of Cleese's time. He performed in a revue which toured internationally with Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor, two members of the British comedy heavyweight trio The Goodies, as well as many future members of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Cleese's manner and wit were very much in check at all times of the lengthy, and no doubt by now tiresome, interview (he has told the same story five nights a week for many months now). When discussing the scriptwriting techniques of the Pythons it was disappointing to find myself hearing all the same examples and anecdotes that had been spread across television and radio for months.
The use of visual aids was something that was often seen in the first half. This added an extra dimension and broke up the interview a little bit. The live rendition of the infamous "fish-slapping" skit had the crowd in stitches.
However, by far the most humorous aspect was seen in Cleese's anecdote about the funeral of ex-python Graham Chapman. For those of you planning to see the show I will not spoil it for you, but for those interested, YouTube the following: "Graham Chapman Funeral John Cleese".
I was a little relieved when the interview ended and interval arrived, as I thought we were finally going to get some stand-up from a legend of comedy.
We weren't.
The second half of the show played exactly the same as the first! Except this time Cleese didn't have Richard Stubbs interviewing him. All he did was speak, on his own, about various aspects of pythonesque humor before cutting to a video displaying it. It was more like a high school presentation than a comedy show. Thankfully Cleese's dry manner and tried-and-tested video clips provided great humor, as they should have.
Anyone who was looking for some original comedy from one of the greatest men to ever silly-walk was not going to be getting it. I didn't buy my ticket so I could have a YouTube session with John Cleese. Whilst it was great to find out which sketches were his favorites, it would have been great to see some stand-up from Cleese. I can, however, see the appeal of the former for a longtime hardcore fan.
At a hefty $100+ this show was really only for the part of the audience who could quote the entirety of Monty Python's Meaning Of Life or A Fish Called Wanda. I almost felt ostracised from some parts of the show.
The only concession I can really make is that Cleese is by trade a scriptwriter, not a performer. He made note of this fact all evening and while anyone who's seen any of his shows would know he can absolutely perform, it perhaps explains how overscripted the performance was.
While it was an enjoyable night at the theatre, I'm not sure An Evening With John Cleese was all it was cracked up to be.
2 and a half out of 5.

Review: Local Kitchen and Bar in Ferndale has "well crafted comfort food," local ingredients
In a town where several new restaurants opened last year, Ferndale's Local Kitchen & Bar is being warmly received by keeping it original, fresh and stylish.
Opened in early August 2012, Local took over the building previously inhabited by Italian spot Via Nove at the corner of Nine Mile and Planavon. The space is outfitted in a sleek but causal way with wooden tables and industrial light fixtures, and has an open-air atmosphere in warmer months. The trend toward communal seating is represented here with a long table near the bar, which can be used to seat large parties or multiple smaller groups. The centerpiece of the restaurant is the great wood-burning fireplace that opens to both the inside dining room and the sidewalk patio.
FYI: Local Kitchen & Bar is at 344 W. Nine Mile Road, Ferndale. Dinner hours are 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Lunch hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Brunch hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, call 248-291-5650.
The seasonal menu emphasizes Local's slogan — "well crafted comfort food." Classic favorites like chicken wings, wedge salad and meatloaf sandwich are all here, with distinctive touches. The one-page food menu seems concise, but there is something here for any guest, including superb vegetarian options. As expected, the from-scratch kitchen sources local ingredients whenever possible, with quality, sustainability and craftsmanship being top priorities. Michigan wine and beer is stocked at the bar.
The savory menu is divided into five sections, allowing patrons to choose a variety of dishes and share at their table. The starter offerings range from a crostini plate that changes seasonally to a Barbeque Beef Brisket Slider topped with "local cheese whiz." The Sticky Wings live up to their name, but the need for extra napkins is warranted by the umami blast of tender chicken, salty miso glaze and crunchy sesame seeds. The star of the appetizer choices (and possibly the entire menu) is the Fried Green Tomatoes. Don't miss the chance to cut a piece of the crunchy and pleasantly sour tomato and drag it through the soft goat cheese and sweet red pepper jam painted across the plate.
The "Green" column of the menu comprises a half dozen varieties of salads, many of which are offered in two sizes — small for an individual or large for sharing with a group. The Panzanella is a treat for pesto lovers — peppery arugula, small balls of fresh mozzarella and crisp focaccia croutons tossed with plenty of basil-and-olive-oil pesto.
Entree selections come from a sandwich and burger list, as well as a main plate assortment that includes comfort food standards such as chicken pot pie and chicken fried chicken. When asked to name their favorite comfort food, many people choose the ubiquitous macaroni and cheese. It's done well at Local, with a cheese sauce made from Gouda, sharp Cheddar, Gruyere and mozzarella. It's topped not only with buttered breadcrumbs, but also with sweet, caramelized candied bacon. Decadent comfort food to the extreme, but a portion that's made for sharing.
Side dishes to round out a meal skew toward starch options such as smashed Yukon potatoes and french fries (both plain and poutine-style topped with cheese curds and mushroom gravy). One unique option that plays off the popularity of sweet potato fries is Sweet Potater Tots — smooth mashed sweet potatoes that are breaded, formed into familiar school lunchroom "tots," fried and served with a slightly smoky chipotle ketchup. They are a must-try for those looking for a break from typical french fries.
Weekday lunch and weekend brunch hours have recently been added. The lunch menu focuses on sandwiches, salads and a few entrée options. Brunch includes eggs served with Detroit-made Corridor sausage and a rich short rib hash with potatoes, perfectly poached eggs and horseradish hollandaise sauce, served in an individual cast iron crock. A make-your-own bloody Mary experience gives guests the chance to choose their vodka (including Ferndale's own Valentine vodka), spice level, and garnishes including McClure's pickles, blue cheese-stuffed olives or even a bit of bacon. Continued...
Local also houses an upstairs event space that can accommodate groups of up to 220 people for weddings, showers and other parties. The area includes two bars, audio-visual equipment, lighting and the same distinctive food served downstairs.

Welcome to ~V.3~, a comic series revolving around Venom, an anti-heroic comic maker, and his... Friends?
Well anyway, Venom and his "friends" are a supernatural alien species known as symbiotes,
creatures that rely on attaching themselves to a host (in this case, a matoran) in order to live.
(Based on the characters from Marvel Comics)
Of course, tagging along with them are non-symbiotes, such as the famous Spider-man, and various others.
Shortly after the events of the Season 2 Finale, they have been banished out of the Comic Land,
only to find themselves a new comic studio in an urban city known as the Babylon.
The group is currently adjusting themselves to their new home,
but can they stay settled for so long?

I will be posting my new work progressively, hopefully I will soon be able to have a new comic on a weekly basis.
Don't feel intimidated by the large amount of comics in order to keep up.
And remember to enjoy!

Josh Tomlin (1.14 BB/9): In Tomlin's first full-season, the right-hander provided the Cleveland Indians with a tremendous, cheap asset. The starter won 12 ballgames, while posting a 4.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 4.24 K/BB. His 1.14 BB/9 led the entire Major Leagues too. Tomlin exhibited better strikeout numbers in 2010 (from 5.30 K/9 to 4.84 K/9), but his xFIP improved mightily in 2011 (from 4.76 xFIP to 4.03 xFIP).
