4. | Rochambeau | ||
a rochambeau is where i kick you in the nuts as hard as i can, and then you kick me in the nuts as hard as you can. The first one to fall/quit loses. Johnny: Hey! That joints mine! I made it!
Eric: Wanna rochambeau for it? Johnny: OK! |
1. | rochambeau | ||
1. French General from the American Revolution that was sent with 5,500 troops to help the Americans defeat the British by King Louis XVI. He is best known for the defeat of the British at Yorktown (1781).
2. A nut-kicking contest, usually performed between two males, taking turns to see who can take the most kicks in the nuts. "Dude, I'll rochambeau you for those tickets to the NSYNC concert!"
"Okay!" (swift kick to the groin) "You can keep those lameass tickets! I just wanted to kick you in the nuts, freak!" |
2. | Rochambeau | ||
1. A French general who was in command of 6,000 troops during the American Revolution, fought with General Washington at Yorktown.
2. A name used originally by people playing Ultimate (Ultimate Frisbee) for the game Rock Paper Scissors. Used to determine who would throw first. Also written Roshambo and Row-Sham-Bow. 2. A different game under the same name created by the TV show South Park where two people would kick each other in the crotch until one of them would fall over or give-up, used to determine the winner of an argument. 1. Comte de Rochambeau only fought in a few battles because he mostly remained at port to defend the French Fleet.
3. We won the rochambeau, so we throw the frisbee first. 4. You collapsed first, you have to pay the bill! |
3. | rochambeau | ||
It is a way to settle an arguement or to make a decision. Males alternate kicks in the nuts and the first one to fall loses. Hutch foolishly agreed to rochambeau for the red sox tickets and consequently urinated blood for 2 weeks. In addition, he did not attend the red sox game due to complications of gonadal swelling.

Rochambeau to see throws off.

You just nailed why we switched to Southwest. Previously, I was a United and American frequent flyer, and they allowed me to take two bags free, so that wasn't an issue. For work I needed tools, and airlines won't allow us to take a DeWalt Sawzall as carry on. Imagine that.
Also, living on Colorado we have no Trader Joe's, so whenever our travels took us to more civilized parts of the country, we always had to figure a way to bring back a case of Two Buck Chuck, and you can't carry that on, either. :)
With the recession, though, our business flying took a dip and we lost our frequent flyer privileges. And we discovered there was no downgrade involved in the switch to SWA. So when we absolutely need checked bags, we use them.
But the most important point to us is what you also mentioned: lost luggage. It's inevitable. Our number came up (just a few times out of many) but that's what prompted us to actually spend money on the most voluminous (but legal) carry on luggage. I still use a zip-on High Sierra bag and I've been able to avoid checked luggage for the most part since.
Good article!

Kiffin to Rocky Top

4 seasons, 8-4 average with no SECC game appearances, and then fired.
- Paul Westerdawg said...
I think it would be a great staff, but the top guy? I think I share your skepticism.
Forget the name and list the resume:
33 years old
2 years as CO-offensive coordinator *sharing* the playing duties at Southern Cal. Never The Guy exclusively accountable for the offense.
A head coaching record of 5-15 in the NFL.
Professionally, he's a kid. With a sketch resume.
This could work out HUGE. But it could just as easily blow up.
You buy a resume this young, you need to be ready to give him time for On the Job Training. UT has no such patience.
It's a bizarre hire. I'm glad they went with this - 11/28/2008 10:46 PM
- JasonC said...
I'm not disagreeing with you, but one of the hottest names in coaching circles for the past 2-3 years has been Muschamp. He is what? 34, 35 years old.
And some of his experience was as a co-defensive coordinator with Saban. - 11/28/2008 10:51 PM
- Paul Westerdawg said...
Said differently...
How many 33 year olds are ready to be the face of a company with $70 million in annual revenues? - 11/28/2008 10:57 PM
- mitch said...
Richt was what 36? when we hired him and he had no head coaching experience. That seemed to work out well. I think UT will pull in some talent. I think this will really hurt south carolina as more south carolina kids will go to UT. If he can coach he will turn UT around quickly.

The Tennessee AD must be an Obama voter...
- Hobnail_Boot said...
Richt was 40, and had a LOT more coordinating experience at a high level than Kiffin.
- Paul Westerdawg said...
Richt was 40. He had been the full-time Offensive Coordinator for 7 years, plus the QB coach for another 5 years.
Kiffin was 5-15 at Oakland
He was the CO-oc (not even calling all the plays) at USC for 2 years
And WR coach for 4 years before that. - 11/29/2008 12:31 AM
- EmotionalFescue said...
Muschamp is 37 and was the DC at LSU, Auburn, and Texas. Plus he was an Asst. HC for an NFL team.
That's not THAT much better than Kiffin's resume, but whatever. - 11/29/2008 12:56 AM

I'm 31 and will entertain any head coaching positions in the the 2-3 million per range. If you know of any open positions send them my way.

Welcome to TN Lane Kiffin.
Now go FCK yourself. - 11/29/2008 8:13 AM
- Anonymous said...
I don't think it's his age so much. I do think it's different in the south. He's an outsider and unless you have some thick skin and have grown up in these parts, it's hard to be successful. I realize money is different, but Danny Ford was 30 years old and in a few years turned it around up there at clem...but he played under Bear and was a southerner. I know this sounds weird but I think their is validity to it. Saban has thick skin and has been around for a while which is what it takes for an outsider.
- David said...
Kiffin will be the "Ron Zook of TN"
No one wants to try and fill Fulmer's fat shoes but let Kiffin languish in the mediocrity for a couple of years and then there'll be plenty of top tier coaches willing to come "save" the program...
Wouldn't surprise me if TN is using this Florida business model hoping for their own Urban Meyer in a few years... - 11/29/2008 11:35 AM
- Anonymous said...
Speaking of the "Florida" model, I'm pulling hard for the Vatican to sell a piece of artwork and buy meyer from FL. The local Gators here in Jacksonville think the next coach will just cruise on in and continue right where the Pontif left off. Tebow and Harvin can leave and they think they'll be just as good.
Such arrogance. - 11/29/2008 1:49 PM

I think Jim Martin and Saxby just bought out the commercials for this game as a block
- godawg said...
Here's a coaching name for somebody:
1. He's 10 years older now than when his dad becaome the youngest head coach in the SEC.
2. He recruited the number one class in the nation for Nick Saban in 2001.
3. He's a Saban disciple having coached for Nick at LSU and at Miami (Dolphins).
4. He played ball at and has a law degree from Virginia.
5. He is young enough to relate well to players and can recruit LA, GA and probably most of the South.
6. He is currently head coach and athletic director at LA Tech and just had a pretty good year considering where he is and who they played with the talent they have.
His name is Derek Dooley. - 12/01/2008 9:01 AM

I will gladly accept any HC or coordinator position. I will even take a job for 100 grand plus expenses. My resume is pretty thin, but I kick ass at NCAA 08 on X-Box.

Ann Arbor, Michigan 1 course · 9 holes Driving directions
Course reviews
+2 votes Scott White › September 8, 2010
This course utilizes the land well and offers many options for a 9 hole course. The main thing that stands out here is the three teepads per hole (blue, white, red) with red (mostly) being the easiest. You can play 27 unique holes which is nice for a 9 hole course.
For the most part the course is wooded. The fairways have been cleared well to offer fair ways (get it?) through the woods. All of the fairways have been covered by a nice layer of woodchips, otherwise the course would get pr ...

as a rule i hate 9 hole courses! i love this one, extremely well designed for the land and 3 tees on every hole!!! play shorts to warm up, mids to get done with that, then longs to have a small challenge. i can't even suggest what you might do to make it better, more holes!?
+0 votes John C. Milroy › November 4, 2010
Nice course. Good location, tucked under M-14 and along the Huron River.. Lots of places to hang out in the woods and along the river. 3 tee pads makes for a nice 27 hole round.
+0 votes EJ Vasicek › November 5, 2010
Very nice use of space, interesting holes with the three different tees,, mostly short, even from the blues. Can get through 9 quick when not busy,
+0 votes Ken Long-Old Man › December 10, 2010
I like the 9 hole course for these reasons:
1.) you can work on your short, mid or long game from three tee pad locations.
2.)nice chipped fairways.
3.) fairly easy to follow for the first or second timer.
4.) for out of towners... easy to find and right off M-14 (close to the Huron River).
5.) Bathrooms, a large sign map in parking area. Nice parking area.
6.) if your doing something in downtown Ann Arbor...great course that's easy to access.

Some standing gross water made the course buggy and smelly. But the course was in better shape this time over when I played it in November 2009. I like the Tee-pee on 5/6. Great use of land though, loved hole 4.
+0 votes Jeremy Foor › June 9, 2011
For a 9 Pin course, I wish I lived by here. Really fun fast round, makes the most of the layout provided. Great different looks for the 3 sets of tee's. I can see it being lefty favorable, but also reconize that there is difference in the turns. For being a very short course, its is advisable to bring the whole bag, the blue tee's have a few challenging drives.
+0 votes James "Razor" Rizor › June 11, 2011
Love how they have used a relatively small space. The three sets of tees make this course play like a 27 hole and not just nine. Mesquitos can be brutal as the course is laid out in a swamp, and when it is wet there are a large variety of water traps one can find. The ditch between holes 5 and 6 is particular troublesome for LHBH hyzer. The mulch flooring of the fairways and around the basket allow disks to skip far and long. Still, its location and quick play and the variety of shots needed keep bringing me back.
+0 votes Yerasimos Papalambros › August 10, 2011
This is in my opinion one of the best 9 hole sets, that you can play regardless.
+0 votes Terry Arnold › July 27, 2011
This course is Young. there are lots of wood chips from the tree's they took out. its a very cool park. driving in is nice over the Huron RIver and under the bridge where you will see grafiti. This course is also Free! Its got alot of lightly wooded holes that have usally a clear line too the Basket. There are lots of strange, possibley unnatural mounds that make the lay slightly dangerous on some Putt/approach shots. if you over shoot at least one hole you will be rolling 15 ft. down a sleep in ...

Very quick to play, but some of the mid-long tees are incredibly challenging. All around good traditional course to play a couple quick rounds.
+0 votes Tommy Wojtala › April 20, 2012
Overall, really good course. White and blue tee pads give some interesting shots, while the reds are fun for ace runs and easy birdies to make you feel good about your game. Well covered so wind doesn't play too much of a factor. Chainstar baskets, which is always good. The only problem with the course I found was the tee pads were maybe one concrete block too short, on a few holes i either had to start behind the pad or sometimes I shot from the side of it. Other than that, great course.
+0 votes jason kosenko › May 20, 2012
awesome course for a nine hole pad placement is great changes every hole only played this course at night and is very fun
+0 votes Jacob Roberson › June 14, 2012
This course has definitely improved over the years. Fairways are generally wider, and the rough isn't as thick. The course offers quite a challenge while keeping the distances short. Only real drawbacks are the long walks between holes 2 and 3, and 6 and 7 (they seem unnecessary,) and the blue tee on hole 8 doesn't appear to be as maintained as the rest of the course; there are a whole bunch of weeds in front of itan so a newcomer might not even guess that that's supposed to be fairway. Still a nice place to go and throw every now and again.
+0 votes Felicia "The Flea" Sills › August 5, 2012
Loved this course. Can't really say what i love about it because there is to many things like the fantastic trees. Anyways nice little course.
+0 votes Kevin Reddy › August 25, 2012
Enjoyed the course. Only played the white (mid) tees this time, but scoped out the others for future reference. Looking forward to playing all 27 tees. Good use of 9 baskets on this layout, with a variety of shots from each tee set.
+0 votes Justin Mierzejewski › October 5, 2012
Fun course in the woods. I love to play the red tees when I am by myself(so i can keep a good eye on my disc). Cement tees, nice trails, and a course map in the very front next to the practice basket. When you play different tee pads it can really change your throws, and you can really make it interesting when playing more then 9 and switching up the tees. (reds then blue, whites then blue, ect.)
+0 votes Chad Perigo › November 27, 2012
Nice little course close to town. You have to bring your short game! None of the holes let you really bring out the big guns! BUT this is an awesome course to tweak your ups and putting game. Great course for kids and newbies as it does give them a chance to have a decent rd.
+0 votes Andy Smith › February 25, 2013
This is now a home course to me since I've moved to A2! For a 9 hole course I feel that did this one Justice with alternate tee pads and the utilization of the land. Plays threw a wood area although its not horrible if your off the fair ways! For the most part there's fair line to the baskets but a couple hole are crazy luck to run on the basket. Some players in this state need to start promoting better care for our grounds. I can't stand seeing course when the lack of care is apparent. Trash la ...

Neat little technical course, pain in the ass to drive to though. Tea pads are uncomfortably short- but at least there are some. Like most city parks most of the locals are unappreciative douche bags. Lots of trash on this course, could use a couple of hours from a handful of volunteers.

Kodak says a bankruptcy court ruled that Apple and its former subsidiary FlashPoint did not have ownership to about ten of the 1,100 patents in the Digital Capture and Kodak Imaging Systems and Services portfolios.
The claims by Apple and FlashPoint held up Kodak's attempt to auction off the patents for much-needed cash as it makes its way through Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
"The patent portfolio that Kodak has is quite valuable. And we're about to find how valuable," said George Conboy, financial analyst. "It's expected that the portfolio will sell for somewhere around two billion dollars. Could be as much as three billion. That would be great for Kodak. Could be as low as a billion. That would be a disaster, but without this cash the company cannot survive or emerge from bankruptcy."
Kodak hopes to hold that auction by early next month.

Clean Cities Hall of Fame
The Clean Cities Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding contributions to the Clean Cities mission of reducing petroleum dependency in U.S. transportation.
Inductees are ambassadors for alternative fuels and champions for fuel economy. Their exemplary dedication and leadership are paving the way for a new transportation future.

Richard Battersby, East Bay Clean Cities Coalition
Richard Battersby speaks the language of fleets better than most, and he takes every opportunity to let fleet managers know how they can reap the economic and environmental benefits of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles. Battersby has himself served as a fleet manager for sizable fleets in the public and private sectors for more than two decades. He currently oversees the fleet at the University of California at Davis, the UC system's largest campus, whose fleet sustainability efforts have garnered national attention and praise.
Battersby became involved in the East Bay Clean Cities Coalition in 1998 and took the helm as coordinator and executive director in 2004. In 2011, the coalition saved more than 9 million gallons of petroleum. In 2012, Battersby helped Waste Management develop fueling infrastructure to power refuse trucks with landfill gas from the Altamont Landfill in Livermore, California. Battersby is a natural collaborator, having worked closely with other Clean Cities coalitions in the state to coordinate large-scale deployment projects involving biofuels, electric vehicles, and other alternative transportation fuels and technologies.
Colleen Crowninshield, Tucson Clean Cities Coalition
Colleen Crowninshield doesn't take no for an answer—especially when it comes to reducing Arizona's dependence on petroleum. In more than a decade of service as the Tucson Clean Cities Coalition coordinator, Crowninshield has been a tireless advocate for alternatives to gasoline and diesel. She was instrumental in bringing the first biodiesel, compressed natural gas, and E85 fueling stations to her state. And she is playing a critical role in preparing Arizona for the arrival of electric vehicles.
Crowninshield consistently uses her boundless creativity and unmatched media savvy to train the spotlight on her cause. Twice a month, she appears on a local talk radio show, Mrs. Green Goes Mainstream, to discuss environmentally friendly transportation options. In 2009, Crowninshield conceived and executed a plan to transport the nation's 85-foot-tall Capitol Christmas Tree from Arizona to Washington, D.C., using biodiesel, with nonstop media coverage along the way. In 2005, she initiated an annual day-after-Thanksgiving grease recycling event in Pima County, through which community members drop off cooking grease to be turned into biodiesel. Crowninshield thinks outside the box and turns innovative project ideas into tangible Clean Cities successes.
In 2005, Crowninshield was named Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year.
Robin Erickson, Utah Clean Cities
It's hard to find an elected official in Utah who doesn't know Utah Clean Cities Executive Director Robin Erickson. From the capitol building in Salt Lake City to the state's smallest rural towns, Erickson has rallied spirited support for clean transportation. She has inspired mayors to champion idle reduction, spurred fleet managers to embrace alternative fuels, and helped the governor's office tackle vehicle emissions.
Since Erickson signed on as Utah Clean Cities' coordinator in 2007, she has more than tripled the number of stakeholders in the coalition. She draws on her experience as a former fleet manager to help fleets tackle technical challenges and successfully navigate their way to petroleum savings. Erickson established a program that has trained more than 3,000 Utah school bus drivers in idle reduction practices, and she has played a vital role in substantially growing the state's natural gas fueling infrastructure and the number of natural gas vehicles on the road. Erickson approaches her work with a profound commitment to making Utah a vibrant and healthy place for future generations.
Lee Grannis, Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition
Lee Grannis brings exceptional energy, dedication, and technical knowledge to the deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles in Connecticut, throughout the Northeast, and nationally. With a background in military transportation logistics and alternative fuel vehicle sales, Grannis launched the Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition in 1995 and took over as coordinator in 1997.
For more than a decade, this retired U.S. Army veteran has been instrumental in introducing new technologies and fuels into Connecticut's transportation sector. Under Grannis' leadership, the Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition helped deploy electric trolleys in New Haven's public transit system and catalyzed the development of the city's first compressed natural gas fueling station. He has aided entrepreneurs in jump-starting the manufacture of electric buses and electric vehicle charging equipment. In partnership with the three other Connecticut Clean Cities coalitions, Grannis serves as the lead on the $29 million Connecticut Future Fuels project, which is deploying 269 alternative fuel vehicles and supporting fueling infrastructure, including the first liquefied natural gas station east of the Mississippi.
Grannis was named the Northeast Region Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year in 2004 and 2008.
Kevin Herdler, St. Louis Clean Cities
Kevin Herdler has been a leader within Clean Cities since the program's beginning, when he served as a highly respected fleet director for a county government in Atlanta in the mid-1990s. He joined forces with St. Louis Clean Cities (SLCC) in 1998 and became its coordinator in 2001, guiding the coalition to reduce petroleum use by millions of gallons each year.
Herdler's successes spring from his dogged determination and deep technical knowledge, most notably in the heavy-duty vehicle arena. His expertise with big rigs and every vehicle in the city fleet yard have been indispensible for dozens of public and private fleets as they have pursued idle-reduction measures and transitioned away from diesel to fuels like natural gas and biodiesel. Herdler is widely known as someone who can take the best-laid plans and make them even better. Both a model and a mentor to his Clean Cities peers, Herdler is always eager to share his knowledge and experience with new coordinators as they learn the ropes.
In 2010, Herdler received the Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year Award.
Melissa Howell, Kentucky Clean Cities Partnership
Melissa Howell is a cornerstone of Clean Cities. She has been with the program since its beginning in 1993, when she helped found the Kentucky Clean Cities Partnership. Ever the consummate professional, Howell's dedication to reducing petroleum use in transportation has weathered all manner of political and economic conditions. Howell is known for her persistence in inspiring fleets to action, and she brought several high-profile stakeholders to the alternative-fuel table, including Mammoth Cave National Park, Fort Knox military base, UPS, and the World Equestrian Games. And thanks to Howell's leadership, thousands of children across the state of Kentucky ride to school on hybrid electric and biodiesel buses.
Howell is the original Clean Cities mentor, having coached new coordinators to success long before a formal mentorship program was established. She is always willing to share her vast experience and knowledge with other coalitions to reinvigorate stalled projects and instill confidence in rising leaders. Howell's impressive body of work with Clean Cities makes her the example other coordinators seek to follow.
In 2008, Howell was named Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year, and in 2005, she received the Southeast Region Award.
Chelsea Jenkins, Virginia Clean Cities
Chelsea Jenkins took the helm of Virginia Clean Cities in 2005 as a staff of one. During her tenure, Jenkins grew the coalition in both size and influence, overseeing seven staff and managing multi-million-dollar transportation projects. Under Jenkins's leadership, Virginia Clean Cities projects spanned the gamut of alternative fuels, from retail biodiesel stations, to natural gas transit buses, to electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Jenkins's passion and commitment to the Clean Cities mission won her widespread respect at the statehouse, in the nation's capital, and among her peers. In 2008, Jenkins was elected by her fellow coordinators to co-chair the national Clean Cities Coordinator Council, which she helped strengthen into a vital resource for the program.
In 2009, Jenkins received the Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year Award.
Mindy Mize, Dallas–Fort Worth Clean Cities
Mindy Mize continually raised the bar on what it meant to be a Clean Cities coordinator, a role she performed from 2002 to 2012. Mize helped to develop and implement scores of successful transportation and air-quality policies and projects, including widespread use of hundreds of natural gas vehicles and hybrids by Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The coalition's petroleum savings totaled nearly 12 million gallons in 2010 alone.
Mize's leadership in the deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles extended far beyond the boundaries of her coalition. She was a constant source of support and guidance for her fellow Texas coordinators. In 2008, she was elected by her peers to co-chair the national Clean Cities Coordinator Council. In that capacity, she helped transform the council into a vibrant forum for coordinators, providing training, resources, feedback, and communication with Clean Cities program staff. She was instrumental in the establishment of Clean Cities' coordinator mentorship program, and she was highly regarded by new coordinators and seasoned veterans alike for her leadership, deployment savvy, and vision.
Erin Russell-Story, National Energy Technology Laboratory
Erin Russell-Story has breadth of experience and depth of knowledge that make her a crucial contributor to Clean Cities' successes. Russell-Story began her involvement with Clean Cities in 1997, when she signed on as the first coordinator for the Northeast Ohio Clean Cities coalition. She led the organization for four years and oversaw its path to official designation by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). In 2001, Russell-Story led the Vermont Clean Cities Coalition (which she also guided to DOE designation), where she received national recognition for her creative and diligent efforts in the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles. After her time with Vermont Clean Cities, Russell-Story spent several years as an independent consultant for a wide variety of transportation-related projects and programs.
Russell-Story joined the national Clean Cities program staff at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in 2009 as a regional manager, overseeing large-scale transportation projects in multiple states and providing support to more than a dozen coalitions. Her technical expertise and long history with Clean Cities have proven invaluable to program staff and coordinators alike.
Russell-Story received the Clean Cities Outstanding Coordinator Award in 2003.
Sam Spofforth, Clean Fuels Ohio
Sam Spofforth became the coordinator of Clean Fuels Ohio when the coalition formed within the City of Columbus Health Department in 1999. He became the coalition's executive director when it spun off as a stand-alone nonprofit organization in 2002. Since then, Spofforth has guided the coalition's growth to include seven full-time and seven part-time employees devoted to the Clean Cities mission, with the support of more than 160 dues-paying members.
Today, Clean Fuels Ohio is among the top Clean Cities coalitions in total petroleum savings, through efforts across Clean Cities' portfolio of strategies. In 2008, Clean Fuels Ohio launched Ohio Green Fleets, a landmark program that engages and educates hundreds of fleets across the state. The program has certified dozens of green fleets, averting thousands of tons of emissions. Clean Fuels Ohio has developed an active government affairs program, grants development and management, public education, and other innovations that are Clean Cities models.
Spofforth is widely recognized as a leader and expert in the deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles across Ohio and nationally. He serves on the Columbus mayor's Green Team and was appointed to the Advisory Council for the Ohio Environmental Education Fund.
In 2007, Spofforth was named Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year. In 2004, he received the Chicago Region Award.
Lisa Thurstin, Twin Cities Clean Cities Coalition (Minnesota)
When it comes to reducing petroleum use in transportation, Twin Cities Clean Cities Coalition (TC4) is unmatched, thanks in large part to the leadership and energy of Coordinator Lisa Thurstin. Between 2005 and 2009, TC4's efforts saved a staggering 135 million gallons of petroleum—more than any other Clean Cities coalition in the nation.
Thurstin, who became TC4's coordinator in 2007, is well known for collaborating with stakeholders on clever and imaginative campaigns to advance the use of cleaner, alternative fuels. TC4 worked with the Minnesota Vikings to promote E85 to thousands of football fans through radio and Web advertising, free stadium parking for flexible fuel vehicles, and a Vikings E85 road trip to Chicago's Soldier Field. And it's not unusual to find Thurstin and her TC4 colleagues at fueling stations, filling vehicles with E85 and biodiesel and discussing the benefits of using those fuels in Minnesota. In 2010, TC4 was instrumental in the opening of 31 public E85 fueling stations and helped prepare Minnesota for the arrival of electric vehicles. Thurstin's innovative work and ideas have made TC4 an exceptionally successful and effective coalition.
Kellie Walsh, Greater Indiana Clean Cities Coalition
Kellie Walsh is a trailblazer in the deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles. She took the reins of the Greater Indiana Clean Cities Coalition in 2002, and her stellar accomplishments have solidified her reputation as a transportation leader in Indiana and beyond. Walsh spearheaded the Interstate 65 Biofuels Corridor project, which established a continuous network of E85 and biodiesel fueling stations stretching from Gary, Indiana, to Mobile, Alabama. The coalition is actively expanding natural gas fueling infrastructure throughout Indiana and managing a Recovery Act project to place more than 300 propane vehicles on the road, in partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation. Walsh's pioneering work has garnered praise from U.S. Senator Richard Lugar and Indiana Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman.
Walsh is highly respected among her Clean Cities peers, to whom she provides guidance on coalition management, project development, networking, and cultivating strong bases of stakeholders.
Walsh received the Clean Cities Coordinator of the Year Award in 2006, the Midwest Region Award in 2005, and the Mentor of the Year Award in 2009.

Twelve-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) lives in a place virtually devoid of nature; no flowers or trees grow in the town of Thneedville. Ted would very much like to win the heart of Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, but to do this, he must find that which she most desires: a Truffula tree. To get it, Ted delves into the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), once the gruff guardian of the forest, and the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who let greed overtake his respect for nature.

Pros :
Easy to reach all the spots - don't need someone else to help you out with it
Works very well, and actually removes the fatigue
Is very powerful
Cons :
Cable length of the power cord is short
The unit is a bit too big
does not have a grip line to hold it easily specially when hands are oily
First of all don't go on looks of the picture, better go on panasonic website and see pictures, then only you will understand what exactly product looks like. It's wonderful helper....you need not ask anybody to massage, and it's very relaxing. Flipkart service has always been wonderful....if you are looking for a massager, then go for it.
Got it in a good package (thanks to flipkart). It has 2 steps of vibration. Switching it on basically vibrates the whole piece. The roller is very good and effective for the palm of the legs, the backside. The green lever which juts out below the roller is good for the head in transferring the vibrations. Overall, it does what it claims. And does a good job of it. A good buy.
I am suffering from muscle pain from a long time, Panasonic massager really become a helping hand. Its very helpful and most important you don't required anyone else.

BRIDGEPORT — The distance from here to Bangkok, Thailand is 8,639 miles.
But then, it depends what one means by the word "distance."
As we discovered in the first installment of this GlobalPost Special Report, by some measures there is not much distance at all.
Take the Gini Index, the scale that economists use to measure income equality, with zero equaling perfect equality and 1 representing absolute inequality in which one person owns everything. Thailand, where Bangkok is the bustling capital city of one of Southeast Asia's fast growing "Tiger economies," comes in at .530. The Bridgeport area — Fairfield County — is slightly worse at .540. The two places fall very close in their ranking on the Gini Index as highly unequal.
Put more simply, these are cities where you can move, often within minutes, between the wrenching poverty of the dispossessed and the opulence of the super-rich. The physical distance between rich and poor in these places is small. But for the people who live in Bangkok and Bridgeport, traveling from the lower economic rungs to the higher ones is extremely difficult.
That has long been true in the developing world. And in America, which has long lived with the idea of mobility and a belief that all have a shot at the American Dream, it is increasingly difficult, as new economic research reveals.
To explore these issues of global income inequality and its cost, GlobalPost begins today a series of reports by more than 20 reporters, photographers and videographers from every corner of the world. The result of more than six months of reporting and data analysis, the Special Report seeks to match and compare American metropolitan areas with foreign countries that have similar levels of income inequality.
For me, the assignment was to return home to Fairfield Country, Connecticut, where I grew up, and explore how the death of industry in Bridgeport has cost good jobs and how US government tax policy over at least two decades has favored the rich, particularly hedge fund managers in the tony town of Greenwich. The result has been vast income inequality.
On the other side of the world, GlobalPost senior correspondent Patrick Winn explored Bangkok with its similar level of income inequality in the Gini Index. Winn has lived and worked in Bangkok for the last four years, and his reporting for this project takes readers from the city's infamous slums to its equally infamous glitzy shopping district where the rich search out world-class bargains on Gucci and Prada.
The journey between Bridgeport and Bangkok was captured in a GlobalPost Special Report video segment titled "The Distance In Between." Continued...
It was shot by the award-winning photojournalist Ed Kashi who followed Winn and me through the cities we consider our own.
In both of these places, the top 5 percent of the population controls over 60 percent of income. That translates, in Bridgeport's case, to a median income for that top 5 percent of over $685,000 a year, while the bottom 20 percent, clustered primarily in dismal slums like Bridgeport's East End, take home about $15,000, US Census bureau figures show.
For those who live on either side of this divide — in either country — there is a profound lack of identification with the other world. A profound distance.
"I don't think of it [Bridgeport] at all," said Karen Schiff, a well-dressed young woman heading home from Greenwich train station from her job in New York. "I don't think I've ever even met someone from there — maybe I drove through, I don't know."
Clara Bing, a Bridgeport native who commutes to affluent Greenwich each day to work at a dry cleaning business, said she is not surprised people feel little responsibility for their poorer neighbors.
"As long as we go home at night, I guess, it's okay. It's like we're invisible," she said.
Vast economic disparity is often associated with developing nations sacrificing social goals in order to emphasize growth and move up in global rankings. In Thailand, the boom years of the 1980s and 1990s saw Thailand's per capita income — the average annual pay a person takes home — soar from $680 to nearly $5,000, making it an "upper middle income" country in the parlance of global development experts.
Thailand has 47,000 millionaires today, many of them holding the reigns of political power. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few has touched off a backlash. The so-called "Red Shirt" movement has clashed violently with government forces, contending that the poor are deliberately exploited by a corrupt elite. Its rallies have calmed of late, but outrage over song matratan — i.e. "double standards" — is now a feature of the Thai political debate.
In America, such disparities evoke memories of the so-called "Gilded Age," the period between the 1880s and 1920s of westward expansion, massive immigration and tycoons like Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller. The great divide of that age, with its strikebreaking massacres, slum epidemics and child labor, launched the career of Republican Teddy Roosevelt's progressive reform movement and, after the Great Depression a generation later, his Democratic cousin Franklin Delano's New Deal. Continued...
Income disparity dropped markedly during the years that followed World War II, only to begin widening again about 1968. Until the 2008 financial crisis, the stagnation of middle and lower class incomes in the US were masked by asset bubbles and cheap credit. Only recently, as the housing collapse and banking crisis pulled back the curtains, has income disparity become a topic for polite conversation in US political campaigns.
"We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by," said President Obama in his 2012 State of the Union address. "Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules."
It's not always so polite, of course. Two very different political movements, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, both sprung up, in part, out of anger over the stagnating prospects of the US middle class.
The Tea Party stresses "inequality of opportunity" and believes pro-growth policies and an unbridled free markets will lift all boats. The left sees that as discredited and wants a tax code that reverses the inequality gap.
The focus on growth has come under new pressure from studies showing that America's vaunted ability to create pathways to success may be flagging. Multiple studies, most recently by the Pew Center for the States, show that those born poor or in the lower middle class in America are far less likely than popularly imagined to "make it."
"Only 4 percent of those raised in the bottom quintile make it all the way to the top as adults, confirming that the 'rags-to-riches' story is more often found in Hollywood than in reality," the report said.
The study found that richer people have a greater chance of moving up in American society, but that the vast majority will remain in the same income category.
With studies challenging such a central component of the American Dream as social mobility, experts say, it should not be surprising that people are angry.
"Workers' share of the pie is falling with inequality reaching levels similar to 100 years ago," said Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, co-author of what many believe to be the definitive book on the 2008 crisis. "The status quo has to be vulnerable."
Michael Moran is a GlobalPost columnist as well as the director and editor-in-chief of Renaissance Insights, at the investment bank Renaissance Capital. His book, "The Reckoning: Debt, Democracy, and the Future of American Power" is published by Palgrave Macmillan.

16×24 storyboards are one of our most popular sizes by far! The tricky part my clients face is picking the right amount of images and the orientation because it really matters! This week tip I focus on 3 to 4 image storyboard because thats the average number picked. I've done up to nine images on one board though!

I combined festival fashion with one of my other favorite trend…neon! I'd love to spend a day in the sun in this bright outfit! The best part about festival fashion is that its over the top while keeping a laid back feel. So go ahead and put on a large stone necklace while rocking sandals and dance the day away! ~ Caroline

I first met this happy baby girl back in 2011 when she and her big brother visited our studio for portraits. We stayed in touch online and through the wonderful community of moms at Bellani Maternity over the years.
We were on our Holiday break this year when I saw the story spread over facebook. A family in our community was struggling with the recent diagnosis of their young daughter. She had gone into the doctors with a stomach bug and then their world had changed. I soon found out it was Belle and her final diagnosis was pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) . I just couldn't wrap my head around the sudden news. I sent mom a message as soon as I heard. Whenever she was ready, whenever Belle was ready, I wanted to be there for them in any way that I could.
I have worked with many families fighting childhood illness through The Tiny Sparrow Foundation over the past few years. It has been the most meaningful part of what I do as a photographer. I know how much photos can mean to families fighting through treatment and recovery. I also knew how much Belle's beautiful curls meant to her mom. Not for their physical beauty, or the soft way they framed her baby doll face, but because they were a symbol of Belle's babyhood. They were a symbol of Belle before their world was turned upside-down. I know I would have felt exactly like Belle's mom did. Yes, those curls will grow back, surely more beautiful than ever, but I would have wanted to hold onto them as long as I could. I had to get to the hospital and capture Belle's curls.
Belle and her mom are some of the strongest girls I've ever met. Mom has been incomprehensibly positive and tenacious for her daughter. They amaze me and everyone else they meet. Belle had already fought through over two weeks of treatment and wasn't feeling great the day I visited. We had endless fun, girly, dress-up toys to make her smile, but she mostly wanted her Elmo, her mommy, and her cozy blanket. You know what? That Elmo and blanket looked pretty perfect to me and there is nothing more beautiful than a mother's love.
Plus, this isn't the last photo shoot you'll see with Belle here. We'll be catching up again, when she's feeling much better. She has plenty of tutu-twirling ahead of her! This summer, her hair will be growing back and I probably won't be able to keep up with her as she runs around outside. For now, I'm happy to have captured those sweet curls before her next chapter begins. You can read more about Belle's story in her mother's words on the Kent Macaroni Kids Blog.
If you would like to help Belle and her family, please visit Belle's Youcaring.com Page or check back in with us for the many opportunities to make a difference for Belle in the coming months.
Google+Oh my gosh, is this not one of the cutest babies you have ever seen? I was totally in love with her from the first second she looked at me with those big brown eyes. Little Star sessions are some of my favorite and especially when babies are at this age. It feels like I'm just hanging out with mom and dad, playing dress up with their little one. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm working! M was so sweet. She indulged us in plenty of adorable outfits and sets. I'm wondering how I'll ever choose favorites for this gallery! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Google+Sweets + a sweet model = an epicly sweet shoot! Shoots like this remind me how much I love my job. Sweet Indulgence called us the day before this happened and asked if we wanted to pop over to their shop for a quick shoot, and I had no idea that THIS would happen! We started out shooting the table of cakes and candy, then added in our bridal model to create a 'fashion' shoot to show off the stunning wedding cakes that Sweet Indulgence now makes. The tiers of lace in the background, her dress, and then the ruffles on the cake all came together for a vintage-elegant look.

"I'm afraid so. You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."

It never seems to happen like I plan. The idea for this shoot started out as something completely different. I found the skirt last year at a time when Giuliana was obsessed with ballet and princesses. I could picture the joy on her face when she got the chance to twirl around in it. I thought it would be amazing for Grace's newborn portraits. I envisioned Giuliana finding her new baby sister swaddled in a basket, deep in the woods. That shoot never happened. It turned out to be much too lofty a goal for a sleep deprived new mother.
The summer came quickly and I had a new vision for the skirt. I could see Giuliana running down the beach at sunset, the tulle of her skirt skimming the shallow water, stomping in tide pools, twirling in sunflare. That never happened either. Then autumn approached and I pictured Giuliana as a woodland fairy gathering fallen leaves and picking apples. You guessed it… never happened.
And so, the skirt collected dust atop a pile of props in our studio basement. Every time anyone tried to pull a prop, the skirt fell down and consumed them in a maze of tulle. Everyone began asking me, "Are you ever going to use that skirt?"
I was. But when?
I had started thinking that perhaps I would wait for a snowy day and finally get the pictures of Giuliana in the skirt before she outgrew it. I was waiting for the perfect winter day. I needed fresh snow cover, but warm enough temperatures that my kids wouldn't freeze or be miserable.
Coincidentally, this past Friday I started looking around for a favorite photograph I took of Giuliana in the snow a few years ago and found that the original is gone. All I have is the watermarked version from Flickr. Do you remember this one?
Still grieving the loss of my favorite snow photo, on Saturday morning I saw the forecast for the weekend and decided I would FINALLY use that skirt for once and for all! While I was at it, I would recreate my old favorite portrait and include Grace in it as well.
Contrary to popular belief, Giuliana does not like modeling for me and no amount of bribery will change her mind. When I tell her we are going to take pictures she gives me a giant "aaaawwwwwww I don't want to!" and proceeds to hide behind the nearest large object while sucking her finger. She's a typical four year old, only probably worse because she's had a camera in her face her whole life and she's a pretty shy kid. I actually showed her the "Princess Skirt" that I bought thinking it would be her dress-up dream-come-true and she immediately whined, "Mom, I'm not wearing that! It's silly. It's too big. I don't want to do pictures."
Given her aversion to having her picture taken, whenever I do a photo shoot with her, I have to turn it into something fun so she forgets she's having her picture taken. As I hurriedly shopped and plundered the studio for the shoot, the idea for a scavenger hunt came together.
Giuliana ended up having a ball running through the woods, trying to sound out the words scribbled on tiny slips of paper and finding each of the treasures I had hidden for her amidst the snow. Sweet Indulgence was the icing on the cake, giving us some sweet little confections to scatter throughout our set. G has never met a jellybean she doesn't like! We even brought Grace out at the very end for a quick snap to pull off the infamous bunny tea party, version 2.0.
It all came together even better than I could have planned. Sometimes, things just happen that way. Here is my Alice, in her winter wonderland.
"Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days."
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Google+I had so much fun planning this first birthday session with mom! Both baby A and her big brother B have December birthdays so she wanted to create something fun and Holiday inspired for our cakesmash that she could take out and display as part of her Christmas decorations each year. She also loves candids and natural smiles (me too!) so we filled our session with plenty of playing and laughs. Big brother B is at that age when kids see a camera and automatically make a "cheese face". I know it all too well with my four year old, and just about every little one I photograph at this age. The trick is to make them forget they are having their picture taken! Usually I make a complete fool out of myself in the process. After taking lots of fun family portraits, we focused on the birthday girl, baby A. She was so full of personality and very quick crawling around the studio! I love all of the expressions we caught and all of the fun memories of our session. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Imigine if they worked the clock like soccer. Never stop it and then add on an arbitrary amount of time to make up for all the pauses. Bavetta would be responsible for blowing the final whistle.
Yeah, the refs shoulda caught the clock problem well before Chauncey even got the ball from Stuckey. Stop the play before the outcome and give everyone a mulligan. I guess this will give something for Stern and the rules committee to talk about this summer besides rigging games in favor of large-market teams and superstar players. "Irregardless" though, the Pistons won the game by a wider margin than the 3 points that resulted from the play so it's pretty much a moot point. ummmmm, uhhhh, ...right???
You know what was really lucky for us? That Dwight Howard barely missed the timing on that final rebound that he could have jammed.
Was this any more egregious than a bad foul call? I think if Chauncey misses, it's not even discussed again. By making the shot, Billups has likely changed the NBA rule book. Also their Pistons DNA re-sequencing program! I'll never be able to decide, if the other team wins the tip at the beginning of the game, will it change the outcome?
The national media needs to get the story right too... they are saying the home time keeper messed up.... no the neutral city time keeper messed up.... and I am pretty sure its human error.... The clock started... then stopped, and notice that when the clock should have stopped on the basket made the clock actually started... not sure if its a button or a switch that the time keeper flips... but looks like he hit/flipped it twice when he went to start the clock. If there going to start complaining about this as long as they have then they should start to look at every single foul call from the beginning of the game, and lets look at those.... IF it had been at the end of quarter 4 that this happened then yes orlando has the right to complain till the cows come home but shesshhh 12 mins to play 3 points won't make a difference...
I was reading a little on the Orlando fan boards. They of course all think they got robbed, more so they think that we have been getting all the calls. Some are even calling the league office and sending e-mails and stuff. Amazing.
Was anyone here thrilled with the calls in the game? I mean it was the first game in recent history where we had multiple players in serious danger of fouling out of the game. Dyess took a really nice charge and didn't get the call. Theo blocked Dwight's shot at it's apex. Prince got the ultra rare 5-second violation. There were plenty of offensive fouls away from the ball that left everyone confused. And the most obviously poor calls were the no-calls for Rip when Dwight Howard bounced him back in the direction from whence he came.
Spot on. Hey, what ever happened to the guy (PR fan, or something) who left the forum as soon as Arroyo was traded away? I was kind of hoping he would stop in and talk some stuff. Maybe he's waiting for the Magic to win one? Does anyone remember a few years back when Orlando & Detroit were both fighting for the last playoff spot? I think maybe around 2000, but not sure. Anyhow, some Orlando player made the comment that "We don't even consider Detroit in the same class as us". Ever since then I haven't liked Orlando. Unfortunately, Orlando did beat the Pistons out for that last spot, but since then they've been far inferior. Anyone remember the comment or the player? He's right though. Not even in the same class...
DET has had 2 shot clock violations that took baskets away from them this post season when the clock started early.
I hope Flip has some time to get down to the Epcot Center when he's in Orlando. I know he usually likes to take his field trips in the conference finals, but this is too good a chance to pass up.
I 'm happy we got the win and the 3 pointer really came in handy, but since there is no precident for this, the right thing to do would have been to reset the clock back to 5.1 and start over by having the Pistons take the ball out again. I mean just think if this had had happen to the Pistons we would have had 200 post thead on this subject alone, expecially if we had lost by less than three points. The issue is for tomorrows game is to not allow so many wide open three's. Keep them honest inside the arc and continue to force turnovers. = Victory for Pistons
I saw this. It was stickied on some ORL board. I wonder if it actually has any sort of effect. I've never done anything like that, but i did write an e-mail one time to some DET beat writer to tell him his article was stupid (not in so many words, but i felt like it was a stern letter ) He actually responded and was all trying to explain his thought process, and then i felt bad LOL.
If Detroit ends up winning the championship, I heard they are going to put an asterisk by their name because of clock gate.
yeah i can't wait for the flip tan!! good point about getting hosed on that shot clock violation in the philly series.
So far this year they are 6-0 when I wear my Pistons ball cap while I watch the game, and 0-2 when I don't. I'm not one to normally think I have any kind of influence on the outcome of games, but...
