A veteran cooker from his college days, Wall runs Kevin H. Wall Insurance Services LLC and has cooked the birds annually for the past seven years at his business as a thank-you to clients and friends. This year Wall deep-fried 32 turkeys that ranged in weight from 12 pounds to 14 pounds, a handful of chickens and a few pork loins as well.
"Everybody's been really pleased with it," said Wall. "It's part of their yearly tradition."
The cookout almost didn't come to pass. A few days after last year's event Wall's prized cooking pot was taken from the back porch of his business on Westmore Road and was never seen again.
He recalled how oil had created a type of characteristic patina on the outside of the pot and reminded him of all the good times he shared with friends as he cooked with it. Feeling down, he wasn't sure if he would host the event again.
"It was kind of sad," said Wall. "I had it out of college."
Three weeks ago Wall decided to give the event a green light and invest in another pot that uses half the amount of propane. On Tuesday he smiled through a cloud of steam as he opened the top to check the temperature of the current batch.
"We were hemming and hawing both ways, but it's something we've always done," said Wall. "It's always a chore but I enjoy it."

Businesses, residents react toward rocketing gas prices
Gas prices continue to go up and with the summer vacation season looming, most consumers are saying, "We ain't seen nothing yet."
"Prices were down during the election last November and now look what has happened," Gloria Thompson of Chesterfield Township said while filling up her car at the BP gasoline station on Garfield and 18 Mile roads in Clinton Township.
"I bet by summer gas will be $5 a gallon with (Gov. Rick) Snyder's proposed tax. Why is it going up? I wish I knew," Thompson said.
Gasoline at most stations in Macomb County this week is selling for $3.69 to $3.89 per gallon, according to AAA. AAA says gas prices have gone up for 33 straight days. The Michigan average is $3.90 a gallon.
Mark Griffin, president of the Michigan Petroleum Association in Lansing, said the cost to his members for a gallon of gasoline ranges from 60 cents to 70 cents. He said the increase in price of refined gasoline is due to speculators of crude oil trading on the Commodities Exchange who are driving the price up in anticipation of a higher demand of the product.
"We are as concerned about the price as our customers are," Griffin said. "The price of gas goes up at this time of the year every year."
Griffin said his average station buys 2,500 gallons of gasoline every day. He said at 60 cents a gallon, that's $1,500 more a day his members have to come up with than they did in January.
Griffin said the price of crude oil, which has gone up by 10 percent since December, is two-thirds of the cost for gasoline.
"The price of gas has gone up quicker than in previous years," he said.
He also said gas stations are making it by a whisker. He said the grocery products they sell, like milk, bread and coffee, are allowing them to keep their heads above water. Continued...
Roger Ficaro of Macomb Township said he liked the gas prices three weeks ago when it was $3.12 a gallon. He doesn't understand how it just spiked out of control.
"It's ridiculous," Ficaro said.
Griffin, who has been a member of the MPA since 1993 and its president since 1995, said Gov. Rick Snyder's proposed 14-cent hike in the gasoline tax for road repair would be a disaster for Michigan motorists. He said with that hike Michigan motorists could now be paying $4 a gallon for gas.
He said the governor's plan would decimate retailers within 20 miles of the Michigan and Indiana border where gas is 13 cents a gallon lower. He said he sees people drive 5 miles to save 2 cents a gallon for gas. He said Michigan's 58 cents a gallon gas tax is killing gas stations near the borders.
Indiana and Ohio charge 28 cents per gallon in motor fuel tax, but they have no sales tax. They are generally 11 cents a gallon cheaper than Michigan. He said Michigan loses $1 million a year because Michigan's tax is higher than in neighboring states.
"I would rather us pay 7 or 8 percent sales tax so we could compete with Ohio and Indiana," he said. "As a matter of fact, they advertise on billboards in Michigan to buy your gasoline in Indiana and Ohio where it is cheaper.
"If we have the highest gas tax we will have the highest prices."
Griffin said each company adds certain additives to make their gas better than their competitor.
"Brand companies put in additives and charge more because it allows major oil companies to check their blend of gasoline at the gas stations they're dealing with to make sure they are selling only that brand of fuel."
Monday night, gas that sold for $3.13 had added another 58 cents in taxes. That breaks down to 18 cents for the federal government, 19 cents to the state for its mature fuel tax and 21 cents for the Michigan sales tax. Continued...
"We prepay the sales tax before we sell the gas and hope to get reimbursed for it," Griffin said.
Freight fees, what the wholesaler charges the retailer for delivery, is an additional 2 cents per gallon. In the Upper Peninsula, the cost may be 8 or 9 cents for freight.
"Every time you pull into a gas station we are providing it to you for only 11 cents per gallon," Griffin said.
Griffin said gas stations lose between 1 to 2 cents per gallon on the average. He said they make money on items they sell inside such as coffee, milk, bread, chips, candy, etc.
In Michigan, there are 4,800 gasoline stations. Speedway has 300 stations owned by Marathon Oil. It is the only merchant refiner left in Michigan.

Austria's highest ski village may not have enough pistes to satisfy keen skiers for a whole week. But given its location, and the high quality of its mid-winter snow, it's a canny choice for short breaks or ski weekends.

Hoke's First Miss? [Discussion of Montgomery]
I returned home from vacation today and was surprised to see that [DL Coach Jerry] Montgomery had gone to Oklahoma. This is surprising, because it really represents Hoke's first failure in the "always be closing Michigan" department. Let me explain.
Brian started the "Brady Hoke poops gold" meme in the first few months of the hire. I always thought that was an unnecessarily crude way of saying that the man is a walking intangible - people skills, emotional intelligence, command organization and structure, leadership - traits that can benefit a football coach more than running a whiz-bang offense. In fact, I believe the original intent of the meme was to be a backhanded way of praising the "Profiles in Cronyism" subject, but I digress...
The point is that Hoke is what he is, and what he is a Michigan salesman extraordinaire. His intangible attributes as a football coach also translate directly into recruiting, which is basically sales. This means he has had the opportunity to sell Michigan not just to 18 year old kids, but also to some already established targets. So far, here is who he has been able to close:
1 - Denard Robinson. For better or worse the decision was made to make sure Denard, stayed a Michigan man. The upside being roster continuity and a running game, the downside being the clumsy Power Spread N' Bland of the first half of last season. We all know how Molk and others affected the transition, but at the end of the day it has to come from the head coach. Hoke delivered. He was able to connect to Denard. He oversaw a transition almost free of malcontent by ensuring the biggest question mark became the biggest exclamation point.
2 - Greg Mattison. There are still some commenters who question Hoke's long term prospects at the helm; but praise for Mattison is universal. Though Mattison already had a history with the staff, and ties to the area, Hoke still had to seal the deal. Bringing in an established NFL D-Coordinator to oversee a worst-to-first one year turnaround is probably Brady Hoke's biggest off the field achievement yet.
3 - Morris, Greene, et al. Hoke, though he may not do it himself, has overseen three solid recruiting classes. The transition class didn't turn to mush, even with the huge change in styles; and the last two classes have been national top ten efforts. Not too much more to say here except for the fact that there is praise among all recruits regarding the staff's honesty and upfrontness. Again, organization culture is driven from the top down, tears or no.
4 - Taylor Lewan. This is the biggest player coup. Having a first round left tackle come back for his senior year is tremendous because obviously. (I always like to think about the possibilities that Lewan necessarily feels next year's team can achieve. He is the ultimate insider going all in.) While nobody knows the exact nature of the conversations between Hoke and Lewan, it must be assumed that Hoke was trying to get the stud left tackle to return. In the press conference, Hoke made mention of "the pride of the position" and that "they always seemed to come back for their senior years" (paraphrasing). That Hoke used the word pride is not surprising. What is noteworthy was that Hoke figured out which buttons to press, and was able to press them in a subtle enough way to not evoke an reaction opposite of that intended.
This is a master? Perhaps. He certainly sells well. Now we have the first "No". What does the departure mean? It means Montgomery is an up and coming coach who is a nationally recognized recruiter. The way I see it, tradition, prestige, program upside, likelihood of success, and even climate are all arguably a wash. Compensation was competitive. I think it means that Stoops was able to offer Montgomery something that Hoke could not. Maybe it was a promise of a promotion soon. Maybe it was the ability to recruit more better players due to Oklahoma being on one side of an imaginary line while Michigan is on the other.
Whatever the case, Montgomery would not be the first assistant to return if it works out that way; and I have faith in Hoke to find the next piece that will result in good things. Remember, the expectation is for the (assistant) position. Go Blue.
I don't think you can call this a miss if the compensation pacakgages (not just money) aren't equal. To think anyone at all can retain the best talent when others are offering more than you can is absurd. I think it's unreasonable to expect all the young talent to stick around when there are better offers just because "This is Michigan (fergodsakes)." To me, Montgomery isn't a loss, it's a forgone conclusion. You have people who are good at what they do, prove they can be successful and others will come courting them and offering more than you can, that's just how business works. Maybe I'm way off base here but my reaction to Montgomery leaving is "congrats to him, it was only a matter of time", rather than "wtf outrage aneurysm" but that's just me.
Edit: not to mention, this is far from the "first no." We have had plenty of recruits choose other programs under Hoke's watch, check out any recruiting thread and plenty will be mentioned.
Hoke has missed plenty of times already. It's impossible to NOT miss at a head coach you are never going to get all the best players or make all the right decisions. I think it's a bit ridiculous to blame this on Coach Hoke at all though honestly. When you surround yourself with good people good people are eventually going to get picked up by others who want to pay them more or promote them.
-Eternal guardian of the Prevent (you from winning) Defense
I understand Montgomery is supposed to be a good recruiter but wasn't there an article done recently surveying the Michigan recruits and only a couple put down Montgomery as the big influence? Whereas most recruits were more attracted to Coach Heck, Mattison and Hoke.
Also, I think Hoke is much more than just a "salesman extraordinaire". Developing this team into what he has takes more than just selling michigan
"What" ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
It makes sense for Montgomery to leave, even if the pay packages are similar if only because it allows him to get more recognitiion. Think about it, every time someone talks about the strides our D-lineman make right now, it is about how both Hoke and Mattison started out as D-line coaches. No matter how good a job he does here, Montgomery will always be overshadowed. Although I do think it is a big loss and that he is a good to great coach, his decision is perfectly reasonable, given the circumstances.
Bo Schembechler BA, Bear Bryant Law.
Also, maybe he was sick of sharing his coaching duties with the headcoach and defensive coordinator.
Montgomery is leaving but I can't blame him or pin any failure on Hoke and Co. It's a tough racket, working your way up through the assistant coaching ranks. For every guy who gets a head job opportunity somewhere, there are probably dozens who never get one. It's a lot of travel for assistants in the off season, a lot of bouncing around from program to program (some by choice, other times by getting let go when head man gets canned), a tough life on a young family. I don't know Montgomery's personal situation, but I do know a couple of guys in their 30s who are in the assistant ranks. There are some tough, lean years. Sticking around to be the position coach at one school long term is not a priority for most fo these guys, I wouldn't expect (esp. when they're relatively young like Montgomery). Getting experience in different systems, exposure to other HCs, networking, etc. is the road many take to increase their chances of bigger opportunities. Thank him for his effort while at M and let him go. Between Brady, the two coordinators, and the other guys who've seen some years in CFB, I have no doubt they'll bring in someone who will be good for the kids, good for the program, and good for the staff.
Rather than post a redundant comment, I'll add to this one.
People change jobs all the time in corporate America. Microsoft, AT&T, Ford Motor, etc. all may be a great places to earn a good wage and feed your family. But people leave these companies to gain other experiences for future gains. Sometimes an apparent lateral move is the best way for advancement. I don't see this as a failure in any way.
"The guts and glue of the Maize and Blue" - Bob Ufer
Just have to put things in perspective here: making $200K a year to coach football does not constitute a tough life under any circumstances.
"There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a moustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn't really much confusion."
Wasn't specifically referring to this case. Just a general statement about coaching career ladder. From the two people I know in the biz I've heard he same from both: early career is often tough. GAs paying dues, first real job working at D2 schools that play in front of 8,000 people. That kind of thing.

'We're a unit, not a one-man show. The name on the front of the shirt is more important than the one on the back.'
I wouldn't call this a miss. Maybe, Oklahoma offered more money and responsibility. Maybe, Coach Montgomery wanted more autonomy with the D line instead of having Hoke and Mattison always intervening with his players. Maybe, he likes the atmosphere in Norman better. Maybe, he has some personality differences with his superiors here. Maybe he is close friends with someone on their staff. LIke any of us who has the chance to consider a new job opportunity, I'm sure he had to weigh several factors when making his decision.
Hell, some guy named Mattison ditched UM for ND for the same level job after the 96 season...only to miss out on an all-time great defense and NC with Michigan in 97. He also left Baltimore only to miss out on a Super Bowl championship two years later [wait, maybe we want Mattison to quit...only kidding of course].
I wish Coach Montgomery the best of luck...unless UM ends up meeting OU in a bowl game.
"[The University of Michigan] was, in short, the testing ground for all my prejudices, my beliefs and my ignorance, and it helped to lay out the boundaries of my life."--Arthur Miller
I'm gonna go with those arguing that the "first miss" speculation goes way beyond what we can support with the information we have available, and would point out that we don't even know that Hoke wanted to keep Montgomery (though that's the logical assumption).
Speculation is fun and all, but there is a difference between informed speculation and, essentially, wild guessing. This isn't the former.
Good luck and godspeed, Jerry Montgomery. I hope that you pass this way again.
Coaching trees need branches. Gotta sow the seeds away from the main trunk. When Hoke went to Ball St or SDSU, was it Lloyd's miss?
This is not a well thought out diary. I am shocked that you're only at -25 on this sort of speculative material.
In future, please just do better.
If the haters don't hate you then you're doing something wrong. - David Cone
Career move for motgomery isn't a miss by hoke, and to put that out is a bit foolish imo. It's no secret Montgomery is a very good dline coach or that Michigan can essentially have 3 dline coaches... so I would guess far more comes down to career move, more responsibility. Reconnecting with stoops, also Iowa alumni.. and many other things in it for Montgomery.....
Hoke, didn't block it, offered to match compensation and Mongomery still wanted to move on.
Most likely our staff hires a olber coach.... rather or not they hire an olber or dline coach for the replacement I am good with Hoke and Mattison selecting assistants...something I think is a great strength of theirs.
Ummm... no. Not his first, and most certainly won't be his last. We didn't land Treadwell. We didn't land Brionte Dunn. There are a number of other recruits we didn't land. Also, I don't have a great view of the personnel Hoke interviewed for the assistant coaching positions, but I would guess that though he probably got several of his first choices, I would bet he didn't get all.
And this is not a criticism of Hoke. Statistically speaking, Brady Hoke will increase the probability of landing these high-quality individuals in both recruiting and assistant coaching positions. But that doesn't mean the probability of landing and retaining everyone will go to 1. It's just, better than it would have been without him. And that's all any good to great program will have. Even Nick Saban lost Poggi to us, and the Baltimore Ravens lost their DC. It's the way it goes, and it's not something we should lose our minds over. The preponderance of evidence so far still would indicate that Hoke has great abilities, and I'll eat my hat if he doesn't land a good replacement coach in some capacity.
Call Mr. Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr. Plow
It wasn't a miss. Hoke pulled his offer.
...just one man's opinion.
to be a HC at a top program. I don't see this as a Hoke miss, it is more of a resume building step for Mongomery. You have Brady Hoke for whom you worked under and now Stoops, in a few years he may end up as a DC at a top program. I doubt his future DC job would last long since he will probably want that HC gig! I wish him all the best on his career path!
expect the best
What a dumbass post OP. It was Coach Hoke who brought Montgomery to Michigan to begin with. He stole him from IU who had just hired the assistant coach. Montgomery is just a coach who is moving around to try to get up the ladder. To call this a "miss" or even hint that it is a "miss" in any way, shape or form by Coach Hoke, would be one of the most spectactular epic dumbassian posts here by an "Michigan fan"...so dont do that.
I don't look at this as a "miss." Montgomery is a great coach and a great recruiter. He undoubtedly wanted to go somewhere that would help him advance his career. I do wonder how much autonomy he had with the defensive line being that Hoke and Mattison personally coach the line as well. My guess is not as much as he wanted, and if that's the case, there's little to nothing Hoke could have done to retain him.
Stoops probably came to him with an offer of more money and the ability to have complete, or near-complete autonomy over Oklahoma's defensive line coaching. Also, Oklahoma's recruiting doesn't seem like its been elite lately. At least not this year it wasn't, so they need someone like Montgomery.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
even though 99% of the OP is positive.
I definitely agree that Hoke is sometimes underappreciated by a few commenters on this blog, and Brian's "Hoke poop" meme was certainly less fawning over the man than anything he said about Rich Rodriguez.
What I don't agree with is your original premise: that Hoke "failed" to keep Montgomery. You outline all the "successes" that Hoke has had, but ultimately you have to realize that you can't force someone to do something they don't want to do. We couldn't force Laquon Treadwell to commit to Michigan. Same goes for Jordan Diamond. We couldn't force Jim Harbaugh to take the HC job even though that's what a lot of fans wanted.
I really don't care anymore that Montgomery left or certainly why he left. I think because he was in on the most recent three commitments (and praise from Sam Webb for doing so) everyone is overshooting him as a "nationally recognized recruiter." All of our coaches recruit. Borges does, Mattison does, Hecklinski does, Mallory does, Funk (FUNK!!) does, and of course Hoke does.
Here's the thing you may have missed: Hoke's the one who hired all those guys. He hired Montgomery. He hired Mattison. Without Hoke, those guys aren't here. So in assessing "how big is the Montgomery loss?" you have to understand Montgomery, while important as any member of our staff, was not the heart and soul of the program, let alone the heart and soul of recruiting.
In the future I'd recommend you have a much less provocative title and first line. I imagine those are the primary reasons you are getting so many downvotes, even though the crux of your post is positive.

"Everybody thinks of changing humanity, but nobody thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy
Fans are really overreacting to an assistant coach changing jobs. As much as I love Michigan, it is not a destination job for every person in this world. Coach Montgomery may have left for more money, responsibility or simply a change of scenery. Fact is people change jobs all the time. I moved from my hometown of Chicago and took significantly less money to go to Seoul because I wanted to try something different. Every person is different, and there is no need to panic when a young but talented coach decides to change jobs.
...do you have 2 upvotes? I demand a recount.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
You're over thinking all of this.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
I could barely get past the first paragraph. You killed your credibility by qualifying your "logic" with "I just got home from vacation". Meaning, my brain isn't functioning at a high level; I am still dreaming; I am drunk with euphoria.
Everything else, pure poppycock! Turrible!
"Everybody thinks of changing humanity, but nobody thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy
I rarely hate on posts, but words cannot express my disdain for this one. I mean come on. People have been saying Michigan should be considered a final destination for a coach, but Associate Dline coach is most definitely not. Maybe he had better chance for upward mobility, maybe he wanted to prove his chops independent of Hoke and Mattison, maybe he just wanted to vary his own education by working with other coaches. The potential reasons are endless. Get used to it. Success inevitably leads to assistants getting hired elsewhere. This is not even remotely Hoke's responsibility.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.
-Craig Roh 10/29/2011
Replete with some astute observations. That said, I agree with other posters that there isn't yet enough available information to know why Montgomery had his mind set on going to Oklahoma.

...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
I hate this post, not because it's idiotic- which it is. But, because it makes Mike Valenti right. To think that a coach leaving to expand his resume' and take on new challenges is somehow betraying or tarnishing Hoke or the Michigan brand is just arrogant. This is part of any person building a successful career in any business. Michigan is certainly a destination for a Head Coach and possibly even for a coordinator, but NO school is a destination for a position coach. Simple as that.
Isn't it a compliment to Hoke that other big time programs want to hire away his assistants?
While I thought Jerry did a nice job recruiting and with development of the 3-5 techs, I'm not worried at all about it negatively affecting us on the field going forward. Where Jerry's departure does hurt is in the recruitment of the players he and the staff were currently in on. Being a young, energetic coach he obviously connects well with this generation more so then a lot of the older coaches. Obviously anyone he built a relationship with for the 2014/15 classes he has already begun talking them up on Oklahoma. It wouldn't be an issue if he left for Kentucky or Georgia tech, but leaving for a prestigious program like OU concerns me that some recruits may look at them just as hard as they will us when maybe before his move they hadn't even thought of OU.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Going forward I expect Hoke to hire someone familiar with Michigan and someone that will make us all forget who this Jerry guy was to begin with.
There is god, there is family, and then there is MICHIGAN FOOTBALL

Over the past few years, schools have borrowed billions to pay for facilities and improvements promised to taxpayers.
Voters get what they want now, but it leaves future generations on the hook for the bill.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer likens capital appreciation bonds to payday loans.
You get what you need now, but at the expense of the future.
A report from Lockyer's office shows billions in capital appreciation bonds have been issued to schools across the state, with some having to pay 10 to 20 times more than the principal.
Bill Lockyer, Ca. State Treasurer: "It was premised on a lot of local growth that someday would allow the balloon payment that happens 25-40 years from now to be paid back by the next generation of residents."
College of the Sequoias says it needed the bonds to pay for improvements and new campuses.
It was approved by voters.
But COS says it's debt is actually a combination of capital appreciation bonds, and convertible bonds.
Administrators had no choice but to borrow, but they wanted to minimize the impact to tax payers.
Stan Carrizosa, President, College of the Sequoias: "Our board chose to take a little bit closer look at what the long term details were associated with ours."
According to the treasurer's office, a $2.4million bond from 2009 will cost COS $11.7million over 25 years.
A $350,000 bond borrowed in 2010, will grow to $5.8million over 27 years.
And $3.7million borrowed last year comes out to $25.6million in 29 years.
"That's too long term a debt over too long a period of time, in order for us to obligate our taxpayers to that."
Here's a look at what some other schools & districts have accrued..
Exeter Union took out about $1.7million in 2008, which will mature to $9.7million over 37 years.
Lindsay Unified's $3.4million will grow to nearly $14million in 29 years...
And West Hills Community College borrowed over $1million in 2008, with a total debt service of $3.2million over 24 years.
To help minimize the impact to taxpayers, COS Administrators will be looking for opportunities to refinance their bonds over the next few years.
Here are the numbers for Fresno Unified School District...
Administrators took on bonds of $55.5million and $25.5million last year, with a total of about $375million to pay off over the next 30 years.

QuoteOriginally posted by: albedobonemage87,I wasn't under the impression that this was a modders site, but a SFF site. I don't spend my money on lights, and clear sides, and other such 'useless' (to me) stuff. I want a small machine, easy to carry to a client's office to demo AutoCAD and the like, but also with more power and less cost than a laptop. I need something to take to a conference for a presentation. And I want to use one for recording live band performances, where a bunch of blinking lights and neon is a distraction if it isn't part of the light show. SFF gets me that. However, the SFF manufacturers seem to not realize that the POTENTIAL market for SFF machines is much larger if you offer a more professional option, as well as an enthusiast option for the modding types. It seems just about everything new recently is clear sides and blinking lights, and perhaps speed tweaks that gamers love, but I can't afford to loose a 6 hour render in the middle because of a system crash like an overclocked gamer can.My only point, and it is one expressed from frustration, is that SFF is a better answer than the crappy tower boxes offered by Dell and the rest of the world, but currently they are all marketed to a segment that plays with them, rather than working with them. I would like to see more 'mainstream', if you will, SFF machines, with clean lines that look good in a professional office, no blinking lights, quiet and great performance. It doesn't seem like that much to ask. At Autodesk University last year, there was quiet a lot of interest, but not when the only options are full of gimicks.Best,Gordon

Chins up, people. Hem lengths, too.
Here we are at the outset of what is shaping up to be a six-week season of grinchiness. Holiday festivities, we are told, are being downsized and will amount to little more than a plate of cold cuts with a lump of coal as the centerpiece. This year BYOB means bring your own bonus.
So we can choose to dress in a manner appropriately morose for the times and prove the timeworn adage that hems fall with the stock market. Or we can throw caution to the wind, as John Galliano did on Monday night, when he arrived at a party wearing the traditional button-covered costume of a Pearly King (the neighborhood monarch who protected the local street vendors of Victorian London). The mother-of-pearl buttons on his suit formed a pattern of vines, and his top hat was trimmed with rings of fresh daisies. The room was hotter than an orchid house. Read the whole story

The South Beach Smoke SuperMAX™ Battery comes in two different switch options:
Automatic Switch The Automatic Battery is the easiest battery to use and operates like a traditional cigarette. When you puff on your electronic cigarette, you are telling a computer chip located inside the battery to activate the atomizer and automatically produce vapor. When using the Automatic Battery you can create the thickest vapor by priming your e-cigarette, simply by taking one long deep puff and thicker vapor will be produced on subsequent puffs.
Manual Switch The Manual Battery has a small button that you press to activate the atomization process and hold down while smoking. Manual batteries require no priming like the automatic batteries and produce thicker vapor more quickly and with less puffs. The Manual battery version will last about 25% less than the Automatic, but will create more vapor. Many people find that the button on the manual battery is manageable and does not interfere with their electronic smoking experience.
Conclusion The choice of an automatic or manual battery really is a personal preference. You should consider if you don't want to have to press a button, then the automatic battery is probably a better choice for you. On the other hand, the manual battery does produce thicker vapor, and the best choice if you think this will enhance your electronic smoking enjoyment.
The South Beach Smoke Deluxe Cartridge is built using the patented VaporMax® technology. Each cartridge is comparable to at least 1 1/2 packs of traditional tobacco cigarettes. That means that the Deluxe Cartridge is equivalent to paying $2.33 per pack of traditional tobacco cigarettes. If you enroll in our convenient Home Delivery Program, you save an additional 20% which means you get your cartridges for only $2.13 each... that's equivalent to paying just $1.42 per pack of traditional tobacco cigarettes.
The real savings, however, is in the fact that many people end up smoking less. How many times have you lit a cigarette and smoked the whole thing simply because it was lit and you didn't want to waste it? With your South Beach Smoke Electronic Cigarette, you can take a drag or two and simply put it away. As you can see, the real savings in electronic cigarettes is in the cartridges.
Through our optional and convenient Home Delivery Program, you have the option of having your cartridges conveniently delivered to your home or office every month at a substantial savings. As a member of our Home Delivery Program, here is what you get:
20% Off Your Cartridges
Lifetime Warranty on All Parts
Exclusive Sale Events & Promotions
No Obligation - Cancel Anytime
NOTE: You will be given the opportunity to enroll in the Home Delivery Program and get the reduced price once you complete your order after checkout.
You can choose your level of nicotine depending on what you would normally smoke from one tobacco cigarette. South Beach Smoke cartridges are available in the following strengths:
Bold (24mg) - comparable to traditional non-filtered cigarettes and the strongest of the filtered cigarettes
Full Flavored (16mg) - comparable to traditional cigarettes
Light (12mg) - comparable to traditional 'Lights'
Ultra Light (6mg) - comparable to traditional 'Ultra Lights'
No Nicotine (0mg) - cartridges with the flavor but which contain no nicotine at all
NOTE: Many customers that are trying to reduce nicotine consumption, gradually move down their nicotine levels.

Anyone with a simple suggestion on how to get a straight rip cut on the length of rough-cut lumber so I can run it through a table saw for specific width? | |||
I usually take a straightedge board and temporarily attach it (on the ends with short deck screws) on top of the rough cut but off to one edge. Run it through the taple saw using that straight edge board against the fence. Adjust the fence so that you get the most width. Now take the straight edge board off and run it through the saw using the newly edged rough cut boarde against the fence. | ||||
I do a similar thing as redover but with one less step: I set my fence for the narrowest measurement and rip off a sliver on one edge. Even though both sides may be rough-cut and slightly wavy, over the length of a 2 foot fence it will even out. After the first rip, you will then have one smooth, straight edge unless the original piece was warped over a longer length than the fence size. You can then put the new straight edge against the fence and make your real rip. Jaybee | ||||
Thanks for the suggestion, redoverfarm. I'm going to give it a try. Sure sounds like it a good method. | ||||

I'm getting tired of re-stating this. You don't get what I was saying. That's the point. The only successful game shows have come from either overseas or adaptations of ancient shows. And Lingo was also a Dutch game show in the '80s also.
If a programming executive didn't say "Hey, (this show from overseas) seems like a great idea to adapt". then guess what? You'd have never seen Millionaire or Deal or No Deal, or most of the other shows that you take for granted right now. They're the only things that have lasted longer than a season.
I've seen all of the shows I listed. As someone who has been around game shows for decades, I can tell you they would work here, provided GSN doesn't do the stupid thing and play them to death. You should sit down and watch those shows and then tell me how miserable they are, because I can tell you right now that The Chase is a more exciting game show than anything I've seen here in a while and The Cube pwns Minute To Win It 100 ways to Sunday.
Upcoming Shows: Iron Maiden, Devore, September 13
Kamelot, Anaheim, September 21
If ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX wants to create a foreign game show like they've done in the past and have been successful, then they should go ahead. But GSN is not a network to find a foreign game show and re-create it, or even acquire it.
AFV (trade DWTS to ABC Family)
Merv Griffin's Crosswords
Wheel of Fortune (2 years removed).
Family Feud (O'Hurleys Final year).
Don't Forget the Lyrics (Brady ONLY not the syndicated crap).
I'm sorry but AFV isn't a game show.
Or better yet
Alex Trebek's Double Dare
Jack's Now You See It
Trivia Trap
Hot Potato
and Greed
Pat Billard - Love Connection
My 5 would be:
Modern favorites:
FRIEND OR foe?
My 5:
Press Your Luck
Now You See It
Body Language
Minute to Win it
Who's Still Standing (even though it didn't last long like most newer shows, I still wouldn't mind GSN trying it.)
Or better yet
Treasure Hunt
The New Newlywed Game
and Debt
Ahem... Does anyone really wanna see Blockbusters again? The questions on there are outdated I tell you. I loved the show but I don't think it would do well. Old classics without trivia questions would be better. Unless GSN wanted to remake Blockbusters and more of those old trivia game shows and modernize them. Personally, I'd have no problem with that if GSN wanted to. It would be worth a shot, IMHO.
Tic Tac Dough when it aired on GSN if I recall, bombed miserably.
This is all my opinion when I said "Does anyone really wanna see Blockbusters again?" I was just trying to make a point, so you know.
Its game showish. A couple months ago I said GSN should acquire it, but it reruns on several other TV networks. It would at least do better than DWTS in a Saturday night block if GSN could air it there.
Only Woolery Love Connection. That version was horrible. I looked it up.
So what if the Questions were outdated? Blockbusters is a classic show, don't you think?

Love hits the airwaves: KWIT Radio Hour
February 12, 2013 · Updated 4:33 PM
KWIT Radio Hour, a modern and island twist on old-fashioned radio shows, returns to brighten up winter and your valentine at SJCT's Gubelman Theatre on Feb. 14-17 and 21-24.
The Radio Hour, which premiered to sold-out audiences in 2011, is back with "Love is in the Airwaves," bringing along big microphones, special sound effects, live music and silly comedy.
The Witsend Productions' group of island actors and comedians brings installments of "As the Harbor Churns," "The Stoned Stranger," and "Sam Chowder, Private Eye!" (and commercials from their sponsor, Dissolve it All) as they act, sing and present short, funny commercial breaks before the "live studio audience."
Writer Therese Finn has created more than 56 characters for the 12 island actors and musicians (including herself) in this amorous version. "I really love working with this great KWIT crew," Finn said.
The Witsend Players feature Patti Bair, Beau Borrero, Keith Busha, John E. Davis, Daniel Finn, Therese Finn, Julie Greene, Gretchen Gubelman, Shannon Kelly, Julie Laidlaw, Bo Turnage and Susan Williams.
The Business Partner for KWIT Radio Hour is Roche Harbor Resort. Tickets are $17 for adults, $9 for student reserved and $5 student RUSH at the door. The SJCT box office is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For info: 378-3211, ext. 25.

With Rosie Pope Maternity, the celebrity designer and maternity concierge applies her keen sartorial eye to designing maternity clothing and accessories that effortlessly flatter pregnant women's changing bodies. Wrap dresses in bright geometric prints and silky blouses are perfect for both work and weekend activities, while two-pocket sweaters and skinny colored corduroys are designed to highlight your "sublime neck line," "beautiful baby bump," and other "best assets."

Sometimes, even during the most secret of covert ops, you need to unwind a little. You know - put your weapons aside (but still placed within easy reach) and relax with The Duffel Blog. But what kind of music playback system is best? You sure can't pack a big boombox into your knapsack, and when the batteries run out, where are you going to find a Radio Shack in Tora Bora? What you need is a small, rugged music player that can recharge on solar power. With carabiner attach points, of course. What you need is an Eton Rugged Rukus.
Compact Bluetooth speakers are all small enough to toss into a suitcase—but they're not all tough enough to survive the trip. But I knew the Braven BRV-1 was different when I first pulled it out of its package.
With rubber bumpers covering most of its surface, rubber control buttons, and a bolted-on perfed metal grille, it looked tough enough that I could toss it onto the wooden floor of my office. So I did. Not necessarily a smart thing to do with a review sample, but when I went to mate my Samsung G3S phone with the BRV-1, everything worked just fine. I repeated the demo for my fellow Tech^2 blogger Geoff Morrison and frequent West Coast headphone tester Will Huff, and the BRV-1's still working, still not showing a scratch.
Last week was Headphone Week on soundandvisionmag.com. Six headphones, ranging from noise-cancellers to Bluetooth 'phones to hip-hop-ish cans to tweaked-out audiophile models. Every one of them done up S&V style, with full lab measurements and opinions from multiple listeners.
In case you missed any of them, here they are:
Two years ago, not a soul had heard of SOL Republic. Last summer, that all changed as everyone watching the Summer Olympics frantically googled to see what brand of headphones were seemingly permanently attached to swimmer Michael Phelps' head whenever he was out of the water. Overnight, SOL Republic went from "what's that?" to "must have." Can their latest design keep up with the hype?

As Thomas Bangalter told Rolling Stone, "We wanted to do what we used to do with machines and samplers but with people." And as Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo said, "It's not that we can't make crazy, futuristic-sounding stuff, but we wanted to play with the past."

In addition to innumerable television episodes, Paramount has produced no fewer than 12 Star Trek feature films. The canon is vast, and the core characters and their relationships are familiar to many moviegoers. The dilemma is this: How to make a film that satisfies both hardcore Trekkies as well as more casually invested international movie audiences. Does this latest installment boldly reinvigorate the franchise, or merely recycle it?

Recent violence in Old Town is causing Wichita City Council members to take action. They're having a special meeting next month that could lead to new ordinances for the entertainment district.
Joe's in Old Town is one of the newest bars in the area, but the owners have been in the bar business for decades.
"We don't do things the way we used to do things because of the problems that it created," said Owner Dave Allan
Allan used to have 18 and over nights in his other clubs, but he doesn't anymore. He's glad city council members may ban the younger crowd from coming to old town.
"To help better the environment down here and bring people down here instead of scaring people away." Allan said.
Two weeks ago, Wichita police added extra officers to patrol the streets.as a short term solution to help prevent more violence. In August, shots were fired four different times in this area. No one was hurt.
Another long term fix may be creating a new loitering ordinance in Old Town, that will prevent people from hanging out in the streets when the bars close.
"Certainly we have identified a problem and we are addressing that with immediate action," said Wichita City Council member Janet Miller. "We have an internal task team that is working on this particular issue, we've met with club owners."
Council members may also add surveillance cameras and more lighting. Some bars owners have already done.
"We just put more lighting to light up our parking lot just to keep people more safe and make people feel safe down here," Allan said. "That really isn't our responsibility, but we're doing it to help out Old Town."
Mort's Cigar bar and the Pumphouse have also added extra lighting in recent weeks. All of those bar owners plan to attend the October 9 meeting to support the proposed changes.
