The Valdosta-Lowndes County Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Committee hosted the 28th Annual Observance of King on Sunday at Saint Paul A.M.E. Church with the theme A View From the Mountain: Greater Success, Greater Accomplishments and Greater Opportunities.
"Twenty-eight years," said member of St. Paul A.M.E. Yvette Council Waters. "Now much has changed in 28 years."
Waters reflected on pastors that have come and gone, street names that were changed, and even old houses that were moved so that the area on South Ashley Street could be improved.
"And yes, we still have the White House," said Waters. "But in it, is a black president serving his second term with his black spouse."
While President Barack Obama is a symbol of progress and equality, the commemorative committee still exists to symbolize the road ahead and the paver who made the ultimate sacrifice with his life on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tenn.
"The Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration Association still makes sure that we never forget the dreamer of the dream," said Waters.
Now revered as a prophet whose legacy will out-extend the longevity of his life, Sunday's program helped to solidify King's place as a person who fought without violence for justice, in the name of equality and what he believed to be God's will.
"He was a people's man, an advocate for all people," said Dr. Beverly Richardson Blake. "A man willing to give his life for you and me."
While Sunday was a point of reflection for the movement King led, the commemoration association also paused to recognize a leader in their own community with the coveted Humanitarian Award.
Recipient Samuel L. Allen is revered by his peers as a champion not just for his people, but for his community. He began his career in education as a student teacher in 1977 at Valdosta Junior High School and continued to move forward in his career through the ranks until he finally rose to serve as Superintendent of the Valdosta City School System. He continues today as Superintendent Emeritus.
While the 2013 Humanitarian Award is only one of Allen's several awards and outstanding achievements, he remains known more for his humility and his service to the community than for his accolades.
Even when accepting his award, Allen did not speak of himself, but rather, took a note from Charles Wesley — an early promoter of black studies — and praised God with a song that brought the chapel full of people to their feet.
St. Paul A.M.E. was again brought to its feet by speaker Rev. Bernard Robinson, Pastor of Greater Pleasant Temple Baptist Church.
"Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is not here, but yet he lives on," said Robinson.
According to Robinson, generations born after 1968 only know King through stories and books. Since King's time, times have changed.
"We are now in a time where people are asking what's in it for me, instead of what's in it for my people?" Robinson asked.
King would suggest that if you don't have anything to die for, you will fall for anything. King had equality and justice to die for, and though he fell at the hands of racism, he continues to rise throughout history as a beacon for those very principles he continues to stand on.
"We have abandoned the bridge that has brought many of us across," said Robinson.
Robinson spoke of gun violence not just nation wide, but in our city. He spoke of wasting resources on what he called "unproductive ventures." But Robinson also spoke of progress. Of coming from nothing, to something, a reality of King's dream.
"His dream has become a reality," said Robinson. "Dr. King made a difference in his day and he is still impacting us today."
While Robinson suggested that difficult days are still ahead, he said we must still reflect on the days behind us.
"His dream is still living on," said Robinson. "We as a people should always know where we came from."
At the end of the program, the chapel full of people gathered hands and walked out singing "We Shall Overcome" as they proceeded to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial next door, where the Rev. Johnnie Cook delivered his benediction.

Vivi looked around the much darker world, he never did like it too dark he thought about as he felt Hela's grip tighten and he looked up at her feeling more protected he would say. He continued to look until he watched Hela turn and make the protal vanish away and seen the rest of the world from behind them, he was qucikly taken out of his thoughts as he heard the goddess talk to him. "Vivi l-like it, its alittle dark but Vivi mange with being able to stay with you!" He said as he slowly closed the distance between them and used his free hand and took a hold of part of the goddess robe's. "Vivi have never seen anywhere like this before, Its so big! Vivi feel small here!" A small childish laugh escaped from the young mage as he looked back up to Hela with a grin that was again masked by his skin. "What else will you show Vivi? Is this where you sleep at? And eat?" He asked as he made his hand tighten around the older's hand, his eye's never moving from Hela's.

Road Warrior: Bogus rumor of police ticketing more after July 28
For many skittish drivers who believe almost anything they read or hear, a big ticket blitz may be coming – starting Sunday, July 28.
That's when they've been advised – via bogus spam emails – to stay off major highways, such as the Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike and seven interstates because State Police are allegedly waiting to pounce on them for almost any driving infraction.
"Please advise," wrote readers from Hillsdale to Wayne as they appended these ominous messages to emails they'd received from mysterious senders who insisted troopers have been ordered to boost ticket revenue by $9 million. Even a retired New York City cop from Manasquan was taken in.
"I was getting 10 calls a day for a while," said Dennis Fitzgerald, president of NJ Shore 10-13, shore-dwellers who look after one another. "It's easy to believe because police performance is too often based on the number of tickets written or arrests made."
But this "scare-mail" had been around for a decade, usually starting in summer. It even mentioned that the fine for failing to show a license and registration is rising from $44 to $173 on Aug. 15 – a change that was made several years ago. State Police refuted these reports, as they do each year. But their denials, as published on their web site, haven't exactly been loud or convincing.
Why should they be? After all, scare tactics work.
"If the fear of a deserved ticket slows some people down and makes others stop talking on handheld cellphones… then we say great," said Lt. Stephen Jones, an agency spokesman.
Here are more reader questions about roadway tactics:
Q. My wife says Silver Alerts displayed on highway message boards sometimes produce traffic backups as drivers slow to a crawl to read them. Do they really do any good in finding senior citizens who lose their way? John K., Clifton
The effectiveness of this nearly three-year-old system is largely anecdotal. Silver Alerts, which rely on information from local police, produce about 15 calls monthly, but there's no mechanism for tracking outcomes, according to State Police. Reading the color, year and license plate of a car can be challenging at 55 mph, so it's not surprising that traffic can back up. "It's a lot of information to take in all at once," said one Wayne reader. But advocates believe backups are a small price to pay for the peace of mind it offers families whose elderly loved ones are returned to them.

now for the bad. my favorite taco truck that set up shop down the street from the theater is pulling up stakes. george i can only hope you got to sample the signature dish, the guacanole tortilla platter and partaken in some greasy guaco goodness. even just the chile cone guaco would have been acceptable. the lovely seniorita that run the show apparently is in some trouble of sorts, permit or citizenship wise definitely not health related I know, but a damn shame.
it was a good run. things got too big, she expanded too much too soon, too much merch, not enough guac. frankly she lost me at the "guaco guy" cheap chinese t shirts that came with the guaco and chile cones.
anyway, just wanted to let you know if you were wondering where the truck up and went. good speed, ser, and may your chile con queso be hot and your guaco be cold.

CBD? We are in election mode, say GHMC unions
Even as the mayor and commissioner could be found in a frenzy over pending projects, the employees are pre-occupied and full of activity for the forthcoming union elections. Collections, canvassing and chorus have reached their crescendo. Union leaders are busy on their phones, while employees from various zones are making a beeline to the head office.
According to the observers, this year, competition has pushed the big unions to make all efforts to secure maximum votes. While top leaders are touring far flung areas under GHMC to make sure that no vote goes against them, the working presidents are giving directions to the union workers on the reach out strategy. The Congress affiliated Municipal Sahakar Mazdoor Union has adopted a novel strategy by placing colourful cut-outs of their symbol all over the building, while other unions completely put up flags and stickers.
The BMS (Bhagyanagar Municipal Employees Union), is leaving nothing to chance as its closest competitor Greater Hyderabad Municipal Employees Union affiliated to TRS is being perceived as the best bet amongst all the unions in this elections.
The observers believe that it would be a neck-to-neck race between the two main rivals. The GHMC office has leaders with loud speakers, while some of them are reaching out to the employees in their cabins. Folk artists are much in demand with some of them camping in the premises.
Officials who maintain the employees' records are facing problems in tweaking electoral lists, as they have not been maintained.

Air Jordan III "Joker" – Official Images
February 6th, 2013 by John Kim | 18 comments
Jordan Brand recently unveiled its 2013 All-Star Collection of 'Night Vision' inspired footwear, which includes this clean Air Jordan III Retro colorway. While the comic-book villain 'Joker' has nothing to do with the concept of the shoe (instead, it's a stealth night-vision colorway that sparks this color-combo), the moniker has stuck firmly since we first saw the shoe in late 2012. These are indeed confirmed for a release on February 16th alongside the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan XX8, so check out the official images of the Joker aka Night Vision aka All-Star release below and let us know if these are a must-have for you.
Air Jordan III "Joker"
Black/Electric Green-Canyon Purple-White
Filed under: Air Jordans, Upcoming Sneakers // Tags: Air Jordan 3 Retro, Air Jordan III 'Joker', Air Jordan III, Air Jordan 3 Retro
Thank you way better than the crimson 3s. These are some killer Joker 3s (James E. Holmes) lol auto cop................
now all people want them coz of night vision pack scheme..before i saw comments such as "i just puke", "garbage" etc..now comments such as " iwant this", "cant wait" blah blah blah.. pathetic bandwagoners..
nice. but why they call these joker when they showed these as part of the "night vision" pack
@dopeman978 haha u may have missed the adds before that...they been posting these shoes since november...they are jokers because they have the joker cw (batman) .....my guess tho
@TheOneTC i read the article rookie, just because it has colors worn by the "joker" doesn't mean that these should be named that. you seen they had melo kicks, some 1s and dunks and the new green color of xx8s, so are those "jokers" too? they all except the xx8s have the colors. so if all these shoes share the same colors(except xx8s) why does THESE 3s get the joker name?
@dopeman978 Because these were the first shoes in this colorway to have a picture released, and those pictures came out long before the "night vision" name, hence why someone slapped the "Joker" tag on it.
Again, read the damn article, or if you're too lazy, keep reading here...
"While the comic-book villain 'Joker' has nothing to do with the concept of the shoe (instead, it's a stealth night-vision colorway that sparks this color-combo), the moniker has stuck firmly since we first saw the shoe in late 2012."
@dopeman978 @TheOneTC because when images of these first released "The Dark Knight Rises" was a hot topic, and yes I know joker wasn't in it but when you think batman the first 2 people most people think of is Robin & the joker. So joker cw,

This is nearly unalloyed good news on a number of fronts.

This is nearly unalloyed good news on a number of fronts.
Another drop of a dime or fifteen cents per gallon would be nice, but the days of dollar-a-gallon gas are long gone.
Whether this is just a rogue reporter expressing himself or an official change of policy by this internationalist cabal doesn't really matter. What matters is that bureaucrats inside a single department of a single government agency have the power to shut down America's oil boom all by itself.
I love it when predictions about the future fail to come true simply because of human action, the ultimate driver of all economic improvement.
It's nice of the IMF to recognize that it's market forces that bring down prices, improving the standard of living of everyone in the process.
When two smart fellas don't know, and Bernanke doesn't know, what will happen?
It's far from a simple case of supply and demand. Not when international agreements and government interventions are present.
It's bait and switch. It's a strategy that increasingly isn't working.
It's almost incomprehensible what's happening in the oil fields in America. This graph will help.
This is like trying to reach for the stuffed mushrooms at a buffet but your fork isn't long enough.

How to make a Trihexaflexagon top The simplest flexagon is a trihexaflexagon with three faces. (The colours in the drawings show you the front and the reverse side.)
(1) Draw a strip of ten equilateral triangles with compasses and ruler. The length of a triangle is e.g. 4 cm. Then the strip fits an A4 page.
Flexing a Flexagon top
You can use two techniques to flex a flexagon continuously. If you hold one diagonal of the hexagon horizontally while flexing, you can open the flexagon on the left and on the right side alternately. I call this way of flexing "swing".
There is another way of flexing continuously, called the Tuckerman traverse. You flex, then you go to an adjacent corner, right or left. - The results are the same.
The Trihexaflexagon top The trihexaflexagon has 9 segments of paper with triangles on the front and reverse side. That makes 18 triangles in whole. The triangles for gluing don't count.
The segments are not distributed regularly. Two lay on another, between them is a single segment. The trihexaflexagon has the distribution 1+2+1+2+1+2.
Two triangles of a face are joint together and form a rhombus. The trihexaflexagon has 3 rhombi on each side.
While folding, the rhombus is folded back and appears at the same place on the reverse side. Folding further, the two triangles of the rhombus are laid on one another. The triangles travel through 60 degrees.
The Tetrahexaflexagon top The tetrahexaflexagon has four faces and is a bit more complicated than the trihexaflexagon.
You can recognize the sequence 1/34/1/32/1/34/1/32/.
Higher Flexagons top There are expansions to 5,6,...faces, which are called pentahexaflexagon, hexahexaflexagon,... Pentahexaflexagon
1367/3/61/324/3 :||
1257/2/516/5/123/14/3/ :||
Tetraflexagons top There are square shaped flexagons, too. I took the following tritetraflexagon from Gardener's book from 1961, the tetratetraflexagon from David Mitchell's recommendable book (4).
The centre is cut along two squares, the cross squares lie in the end. This is hidden in the drawing.

My Comments top
Arthur H.Stone invented the flexagons in autumn 1939.
Flexagons became well known, when Martin Gardner introduced them in the math corner of the magazine Scientific American in the end of the 1950s.
The author looked back in his book (1) from 1959. He received more than 100 letters.
Book 3 contains instructions for making a hexatetraflexagon.
It is surprising that the flexagons weren't known in Germany. One reason probably was that book 1 was translated into German, but the chapter about flexagons was left out.
It is no accident that I put flexagons at the first place in my homepage. I hardly don't know another mathematical puzzle of this quality.
This page is also available in German.

Weyman-Jones, Ashley (2010) An investigation into the accuracy and limitations of automatic target recognition in total stations. [USQ Project] (Unpublished)
Weyman-Jones_2010.pdf Download (20Mb) |
[Abstract]: The aim of this report was to examine the accuracy and limitations of automatic target recognition (ATR) in total stations through real-life field situations and obstructions. This was done by testing three total stations by reading through a series of obstructions to fixed prisms. Obstruction simulation templates were placed at various distances from the total station to obscure the view of the fixed prism. The prism was also placed at various lengths from the total station to assess the effect to distance. These results were then assessed and the different horizontal angle, vertical angle, and horizontal distance deviations were graphed and compared. The resulting deviations varied depending on the type and placement of the obstruction in front of the prism. After completing these experiments a set of field surveying recommendations was outlined for using ATR for electronic distance measurements. These recommendations will provide surveyors with important information designed to assist them in determining the accuracy of ATR readings in different obstruction environments.

Mark Gatiss is an actor, screenwriter, novelist, and co-producer with Steven Moffat of the BBC series, "Sherlock." Mr. Gatiss has been the Patron of Undershaw since December 2010. His support means a great deal to the Save Undershaw campaign, and we are honoured to have him as Patron.
Here is what Mr. Gatiss has to say about Undershaw:
"I would like to express my whole-hearted enthusiasm for the campaign to save Undershaw. It seems to me a very sad reflection on our times that the home of one of our greatest and most popular writers should be so neglected and in danger of unsympathetic redevelopment.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle occupied several residences in his prolific and thrilling career, only Undershaw bears the stamp of his massive personality. Here the Hound of the Baskervilles first breathed spectral life and Sherlock Holmes himself was resurrected from the Reichenbach Falls. Here Stoker, Barrie and Hornung and many others were entertained. It's no exaggeration to say that Undershaw was the centre of Doyle's life during perhaps the most fruitful and fascinating phase of his career. It must be saved and take its place among the sensitively preserved residences of this country's other literary giants. This is certainly a three-pipe problem but not, I am convinced, an insoluble one." --Mark Gatiss, Patron, The Undershaw Preservation Trust

Since we've gotten him, roughly once a week, he wakes up in the morning with a loud gurgly stomach. The gurgles last for several hours and he refuses to eat or drink anything. But otherwise he seems normal. Usually the gurgles go away, but he continues to refuse food/water until 4-5pm. Usually by then he either vomits up some bile or has a little diarrhea. Then after 5pm, he suddenly is fine, eats a bunch of food and is back to normal until the next episode (usually one week later).
I am trying to track his schedule - eating/eliminating - in order to see if there is a trend in what precedes these episodes, but would love to hear if anyone else has had this problem. I found one other conversation about this, but it didn't sound exactly the same. I have brought him to the vet roughly once a week (although have never managed to bring him in when he's having the gurgles) and he has suggested that it is normal in puppies to have an irregular digestive system initially - particularly a shelter puppy who is dealing with so much change. However, I am wondering if this could be something beyond stress/adaptation. Particularly if this could be a byproduct of having a paro-like virus in infancy. Any ideas?
We live in Spain and unfortunately my Spanish is weak, so it'd be great be able to look up some possible conditions in English and then to bring these to the vet to discuss as possibilities. Thanks in advance for any advice or insights!View Thread

With misty eyes Kenny Curtzwiler recounted the tribute that was paid to his son at the start of Tough Mudders when he was singled out in the introduction speech. "I've got one of our own locals here. Somebody who, I believe he served 21 years," the announcer said before the race. "Not just him. He lost his son too, Listen up, not just him, he lost his son who served for us too. Came back and gave his all so that we can be here today. This man has sacrificed his whole family for this nation, for you and me."Racers stood to give Curtzwiler and his family a standing ovation, and it was all the more incentive for him to complete the 10-plus mile course laden with obstacles.Curtzwiler was determined though. He was competing on behalf of his son, Caleb James Martin-Curtzwiler, who committed suicide after suffering from post traumatic stress when he returned from duty. "You're supposed to do it in teams," Curtzwiler said. "My son was my partner."Some of the proceeds from Tough Mudder went to a charity called Wounded Warriors that helps soldiers returning from duty. "We need to remember about the silent wounded warrior, which is the soldier that comes back with post traumatic stress," Curtzwiler said. Thousands of people showed up for the race at Northstar, but Curtzwiler was most happy to have his family there. At the end of the race, Curtzwiler was met with support from his wife Pam Curtzwiler, and kids Hannah Curtzwiler and Marshall Curtzwiler.

iBet: Aston Villa should probably not be odds on to beat anyone at the moment, even Bradford
Capital One Cup semi-final first leg
Bradford v Aston Villa, kick off 7.45pm, Sky Sports 1
Lay Aston Villa at 1.82 with Betfair
It's hard to know what to expect from Aston Villa, who seem to be shocking in the league but are able to lift themselves in cup games, having already won at Manchester City and Norwich to get to this stage. Since that excellent win at Carrow Road they have conceded 18 goals, and their Premier League goal difference of minus 24 is the worst in the division. Bradford have been excellent in the competition this year, knocking out Wigan and Arsenal already. If they add Villa to the list, they will become the first fourth-tier team to knock out three Premier League teams in the same year. It's interesting to note that Bradford have the best defence in League Two with only 11 conceded in 13 games. If we made a table based on home games alone, they would be third. It has to be admitted that Villa have had some serious injury problems to contend with and it could be significant that Darren Bent, Gabi Agbonlahor and Charles N'Zogbia may all be available for this. But on balance, Villa should probably not be odds on to beat anyone at the moment. And given that Bradford have only lost two of their last ten in 90 minutes in all competitions and that the away side would be happy to come away with a draw from what will be an extremely intimidating Valley Parade, a low risk strategy could be to lay the Premier League side.
Lazio are top of the eight-match form table in Italy and if they play a strong side for their cup game tonight against Catania, the 10/11 available for them to win in 90 minutes could be good value. Watch out for team news.

Going Open! Thursday at the Transnational Institute
First post here after a long silence... maybe too busy with twitter, Nabuur, WebEnq, Ecampaigning Forum, NetSquared. And now preparing my short intro into "open everything" to set the stage for Thursday's meetup of the E-collaboration group. Within a smaller group, we had some discussions about "open", and about how choosing technology for your campaign or organisation is also a political, cultural, and ethical choice. Features and price often dominate, and lots of stuff on the internet is for free. But there's no such thing as a free lunch: there are many lessons we learned in development aid that equally apply when your organisation gets such "free" web development aid. Lets not spend decades to learn them again. So while on the one hand, people are trail-blazing the concept of "open everything", there are, on the other hand, many people working in international cooperation who are just starting to look at why all this "open" matters, and how it

A few weeks ago, Fluxiom was to me a beautiful video on a definitely Web 2.0 site. Gray backdrop, light greens and gorgeous design were announcing an application I had absolutely no interest in but that, from the previews and the author's previous portfolio, seemed like it could kick ass - provided you need it, of course.
It turns out Fluxiom launched a few days ago. I didn't get an account but I still would like to make a case for it. Here's why.
All over the web I am seeing comments on how expensive Fluxiom is, based on the fallacious argument that "storage is cheap". I'm sorry to disappoint many people but storage isn't cheap — at least good storage isn't. Amazon indeed set a record a while ago by offering extremely cheap storage with little administrative overhead. With no interface and access through web calls exclusively, it is useless to most people. In that, Amazon's storage price essentially fits in a business-to-business structure or, in more casual words, business-to-geek.
It is a sad fact of life that just about every thing we use in our life is cheap, even luxury goods. Let's take an O'Reilly book, for example. It's made of paper, glue and ink, three components that are neither new nor expensive. So why is O'Reilly charging the public $40 a pop? And more importantly, why is the public buying O'Reilly books?
The answer is pretty simple: we, the public, don't pay for the raw material but rather for the invisible things that make the book useful to us. The authors, the editors, the delivery guy who ships the book from the warehouse to our local bookstore, the toaster the delivery guy uses to eat breakfast every morning. In other words, the gazillion little details that seem completely unrelated to the good we buy but that, in the end, are pre-requisite to its existence.
Now, as I said, I don't know Fluxiom. But I know it enough to know it required development and design work, it required servers, it required running a business. Like any product, Fluxiom is not storage, even if it is a storage-centered application. 9 euros per month seems exceedingly cheap to me in itself when it comes to rewarding the work of a team of designers, developers, server administrators, network center maintenance staff, etc…
Prices do drop around us and economies of scale do exist. But we shall not be led to believe things should be cheap. Some things are cheap, some aren't. Think of the jam producers.

An Elizabethtown man accused of spanking his step-children with a paddle appeared Tuesday in Hardin Circuit Court.
Donald Lee Begley, 46, is indicted on three counts of second-degree criminal abuse of a child 12 years old or younger and is being held on a $10,000 cash bond.
Begley's attorney, public defender David Stewart, made a motion in court Tuesday to reduce the bond. The motion was denied by Judge Ken Howard, citing other felony convictions and failure to comply with previous court orders.
A Radcliff man accused in the 2013 death of his 1-month old son appeared Tuesday in Hardin Circuit Court.
A motion was made on behalf of Jarrod D. Davis, 24, to continue his trial — set for March 19 — to a later date.
A pretrial conference already was scheduled for Davis on March 4 and Judge Ken Howard said he would address the motion then.
The second of three cases expected to go to trial against a former West Point man begins Thursday.
Jimmie Sturgill, 66, who was found guilty in June of 12 of 16 charges of sending explicit Facebook messages to two teenage girls, goes on trial on a charge of first-degree sodomy involving a teen. If found guilty, he faces up to 20 years in prison on the Class B felony.
More than 120 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division soldiers returned Monday night from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and were welcomed home during a ceremony at Natcher Physical Fitness Center on post.
On opening day of testimony in a rape case against a Nicholasville man who prosecutors say fathered a teenage girl's child, the jury heard testimony from a Kentucky State Police detective, the girl and her mother.
Alfred Ivey Jr., 49, is charged with two counts of first-degree rape, with one occurring when the girl was younger than 12.
A move more than two years in the making began Monday for Helping Hand of Hope.
Staff for the organization began moving from the temporary location at 141 E. Dixie Ave. to its new facility at 6796 S. Wilson Road in Elizabethtown, which is expected to open March 3. Ground for the facility was broken in June.
The move is a consolidation of the Elizabethtown and Radcliff facilities which is expected to save the organization $75,000 a year, according to its website.
A Leitchfield Republican running for the state House of Representatives said the federal government is overstepping its bounds in a new provision that makes viewing animal fights a federal crime.
The provision outlined in the U.S. farm bill makes it illegal to attend a cockfight or other display of animal fighting. Being caught at a cockfight could lead to a year in jail and thousands of dollars in fines.
Proponents of a local option sales tax process in Kentucky argued the merits of the initiative in increasing revenue for local governments to Elizabethtown City Council Monday.
Eileen Pickett, acting CEO of Greater Louisville Inc., said having access to a local option sales tax would be an economic tool in the quiver of Kentucky and help the commonwealth be more competitive with the 37 other states that already allow this option.
"We're not plowing new ground (here)," she said. "We're really trying to catch up."
Construction as a whole in Hardin County stayed healthy last year, though the bulk of commercial development appeared to be centered in Elizabethtown.
The city rebounded in 2013, tallying $64.3 million off 382 building permits, Planning Director Ed Poppe said.
The upswing in activity is attributed primarily to development of new commercial properties totaling around $50 million, he said.

Building a Jeep n have questions on lift
SOA and planning for 37" x 14" x 15" wheel. Wondering which spring is suggested for correct lift/clearance w/o going overboard. BDS is MI and would just as soon use them, but.....
350 chevy engine/350 turbo auto/241 transfer case. Will have some road use. what gear? 4:88? Don't travel that far and need the gear when I want it. Planning for a Dana 44 front and 9" rear. 3" wider total? Ant suggestions here? Probably have DTS build the front from scratch and cut up and redo a rear. Anybody have any? |

with all that work I would just do links and coil overs. Its a lot of work to do SOA and make it work well. Springs sag, axle wraps, steering is always a PITA to work around. I ran a YJ with 4" SOA with 36x13.5 TSLs with 60 rear and 44 front. High steer and the whole deal. Still never worked as well and links and coils on my tj. I ended up going 4 link rear with coils and leaving the front on the 4" spring over. The front still didn't really pull much on hills because it would want to bounce the springs and wrap. Before I got to just putting links on it I sold it.
I'm sure there are others that have made it work, but for me it was a real PITA and always seems like a compromise. |
April 23rd, 2012, 08:13 PM | #7 |
I would go ahead and do the SOA it have basically the same set up you just described. SOA with stock springs, tube fenders front and rear and a 1" body lift. D44/ford 9" with 4:88 gears. Also running full high steer so help with steering issues. And a 5.2L magnum. I find it works great, and is much more budget minded than any link set up will ever be. And axles wrap issues are easily handled by an anti wrap bar. I would run the axles at full width, i do with a 3" flare and would never go through the effort of narrowing them. If you want check out my build and let me know if you have any questions, Keep in my high steer setup isn't shown in the thread.
April 24th, 2012, 05:27 AM | #8 |
SOA with BDS 2 inch springs. Wait a minute, Ballard? Come on really you're going to get that project out? Better get 3" springs to support all the dust on that thing.

As for spring wrap, this was horrible. I never thought a anti-wrap bar would make a huge difference. Man, was I wrong. I spent about $75 on some steel and heims, and built a shackle, and it completely cured the problem. Overall, the SOA was pretty simple. I took me about a day to complete. I am running 35's, but I could fit 37-38's easily without my fender flares on the rear. |

Congratulations You Have A Brain
I took an online quiz earlier today talking about which side of your brain 'rules'. Right or Left. I was actually sort of surprised of my personal outcome. Although I consider myself to be a creative type, my brain weighed equally. Of course, I blame that possibly on my slight tendency to be a little OCD. I say that somewhat jokingly because I'm not diagnosed or anything. I guess perhaps anal or uppity may be a better descriptive for myself. But that's actually not what I wanted to talk about at all.
I may have seemingly "been absent" as of late. If you haven't noticed – then just ignore that and carry on reading this… I've had a lot on my mind (both sides of it according to the above quiz results). I started talking about feeling worn down and generally hurt in January when I opened up about my personal rest + rejuvenate January.
But unfortunately January came and went, and I can't say I was feeling that much better, or more positive for that matter. This past week marks the most amount of time I've taken off of working out since my fitness journey began a few years ago. A lot has been weighing on my mind about where to go from here. Things like:
- What do I want my workouts to look like from now on?
- Do I have any current personal fitness goals I would like to achieve?
- Can I achieve those without putting my body through the ringer like I have in the past?
- Why is finding this balance SO DAMN HARD?!
But with that negative, I believe there also came a little positive. I've come to some realizations over the past few months. Some about myself, and about how I want to live my life.
- I am healthier than I have ever been. Despite feeling down lately, I am still a better version of myself.
- I've come to realize that I need to address my workouts in the same fashion I have come to address my eating. 80/20 (meaning 80% of what I eat is healthy, the other, not so much). Applying this to my workouts will be a great step for me I think. Not every workout has be a calorie blaster. I do not have to workout everyday.
- I workout now not only because I want to be healthy – but I enjoy it. I will take more time to do workouts that I genuinely enjoy.
I liked this quote. And although some days I may feel defeated – I know for me it's just part of the process. I have never been really defeated along my journey. Because I would never let myself be. And this is just a new journey for me. A step along the way.
Also I'd normally insert the "what about you?" question here. But sometimes I don't feel like I need a question. I'm just sharing with you where I'm at, and what I've been up to. Hope you've been well.
I Was Having A Fat Day Today + A Thigh Gap
There are a few things I could blog about today. But, I'm actually thinking I will save them for another day. I was having a fat day today. You know one of those crappy days where you just feel yourself thinking….
I feel fat.
I would chalk these up to my fat girl demons, but I dare someone to say they don't have days when the feel like this. Say you don't and I'll call you a liar.
But I decided I wasn't going to dwell on it today, I had too much to do. OK OK, but I did do a google search for something funny to share with you After all I try to be honest and share my his and lows here. And really, there had to be a funny meme or crappiply photoshopped picture that I was destined to add to my pinterest board right?
I didn't necessarily find what I was looking for, I was pleasantly surprised when I found this gem below. I was also really glad I could follow the image back to it's original source.
It's actually a few "pages" of a comic by C. Mucha, and goes like this:
Fat is not a feeling.
Though it has a lot of emotional friends: Anxiety, sadness, fear, disappointment, doubt, [ and] embarrassment.
We monitor feelings to gauge whether things are… good, ok, [or] bad.
Feeling fat makes us believe something always must change.
"Fat" makes us distrust our own feelings.
"Fat" is a sensation, of monitoring how much space you occupy, then judging it.
We equate judgment with virtue. As long as we are monitoring our bodies, we are being "good".
Truth: you will never feel better by believing the problem is that your body takes up too much space in this world. Never.
Your body isn't going anywhere. Your body deserves to take up space.
Your body is a solid mass. "Fat" is a gas. A thought that will take up as much space as you give it.
Hate is not a magic wand that shrinks your thighs.
Buy mental real estate in other things. Don't give empty lots of your brain over to noxious ideas.
Start by eliminating this phrase from your vocabulary: "I Feel Fat".
Because fat is not a feeling.
Pretty awesome sauce right? I think the entire thing is awesome, but the part about the thighs made me smile. And so does this:
Suck it fat days! Oh did I mention today was a snow day (again!). Those can suck it too. But I'll post about that another day.
Fess up. When's the last time you had a "fat day".
What do you do to combat them, or other negative self thoughts?
My #FitStory feature
Last month I was honored to be featured as October's #FitStory. FitStories is an evolution of FitBlog (if you were at all familiar with that). FitStories give the chance for bloggers to share their health and FitStories with other bloggers – or just people working on their own FitStory.
Meet Amanda
My FitStory is one of over 130+ pounds lost, and a whole new life gained.
My story begins with my own personal "ah-ha" moment. This moment came after I realized I was the pot calling kettle black so to speak. My husband is a Type 2 Diabetic; and after his long list of medications didn't seem to be helping his diabetes any longer, his doctor began talking to him about the possibility of weight-loss surgery.
I wasn't for it. In my heart it didn't seem like the solution. The solution seemed a little simpler to me. He needed to change his habits to become healthier. I felt like if he wasn't ready to work and establish permanent change, then the problem would still persist.
That's when I realized I was at the heaviest I had been in my entire life. I had probably packed on something close to 100 pounds over the course of 10 years. Ya know, three kids, life, and eating poorly will do that to you. I was tired all the time, was having problems with my foot, and suddenly felt like a terrible role model for the people that mattered most to me: my family.
That was it for me. Transformation begins with the decision to make a change. I had decided. It was time, and I knew I was in it for the long haul. For my health and for my family, I embarked on what became my journey. I adopted the attitude and personal mantra of "Today I will do what I can." This applied to exercise, eating healthy, and slowly changing my bad habits.
In a little over two years, I had shed a whole person basically. But other than weight loss,I've gained health, strength, and most importantly, the ability to be a role model to my children.
Location: Louisville, KY
Age: 31
Occupation: Web + Graphic Designer
What is your current healthy living motto? "Today I will do what I can."
The point in life life I realized I was unhealthy/overweight and needed to make a positive change was … After my husband's doctor began pressuring him into exploring the option of weight-loss surgery. I personally disagreed with it, but I realized I couldn't say anything much more positive about my own health.
My weight-loss story began where … most people began: the dreadmill – dun dun dunnnn! That first "on purpose workout," as I call it, almost killed me, but it was my start.
The biggest obstacle I had to face and overcome during my journey was … time management. I'm a work-at-home mom with 3 kids, so time management was always my biggest challenge. Workouts couldn't always happen when I wanted them to. But by dedicating myself, I was able to accomplish my transformation without ever joining a gym. All my workouts to this day continue to be done from home!
Fortunately for me, I've never been much of a quitter – and I'm glad to say that this portion of my nature didn't fall short when I took on the task of changing my health and fitness. That being said, at the beginning of my journey I knew it was just that, a journey, and that it would take time. Keeping in mind that overnight changes were not going to happen always kept me from becoming discouraged with my progress.
The exercise I most enjoy: I really love high-energy things that have roots in kickboxing like Turbo (Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, Les Mills Combat, etc). I also adore lifting weights, it makes me feel so empowered!
Social media keeps me motivated to stay active and healthy by… how positively people responded to my story. I didn't share my journey from the start. As I began to share bits of my story, more and more people responded positively to it. The positive response and kind words began to make me realize that someone out there may gain something by the sharing of my own journey.
Advice I'd offer someone struggling with weight-loss, self-confidence or unhealthy eating is… It's all about your habits. What do you want to change? With that in mind, establish what habits you currently have that are interfering with this goal. Replace your old habits with new ones. Habits don't change overnight; be persistent and the small things that may seem meaningless at the time add up. Most importantly, don't give up or underestimate what you're capable of!
My healthy living style in 5 words: Moderation, dedication and smarter choices.

Friday Confessions: Sharing My Starting Weight
It's been a few months since I've shared those damn perspective pants. Seriously, go look at em if you haven't seen them yet
Here I am with my beautiful family, and I believe this to probably be one of the photos I have of me at my largest. I never weighed myself only when forced via torture at the doctors office. But anyhoo, this photo was fall of 2009.
I'm guessing I weighed in around
275-280 pounds
There it is. I think I had been subconsciously holding onto that number. I don't know why. Even now after I've lost so much of it I didn't feel comfortable with putting it out there. Was it because I was ashamed of that number and place I had let myself get? Perhaps.
I wasn't holding onto this on purpose – it's just sorta happened that way. Fat girl demons be dammed! But here I am slowly working to release this side of myself, because it's not me anymore. (repeat that to myself 100X). Do I still believe it? No. I still feel like that girl even though those pants remind me that I'm not. Physically speaking here of course. I'm still a smartass. Hey were talking weight loss here, not miracles.
And here I am today half the person. Satisfied after a great workout that I enjoy doing. But again these are numbers! Yeah I burned a butt load of calories, but more importantly:
I chose to workout. No matter how many calories I did or did not annihilate.
And really, it's all you can do. Take it one day at a time. And remember:
Do you find yourself hung up on numbers? What types?
Today, A Sincere Thank You + A Quick Vlog
Here's my today. Let me bore you a little. Today it was chilly in the morning (although it warmed up) and it felt like it was appropriate to wear some boots. First boots of the season woot!
Today I also did some shopping. Are you ready to see the bounty of my awesome shopping?
Picked up some GNC Vanilla Whey. You don't want to know how much protein is in my house. I realized the other day I was out of Vanilla Whey. My husband asked how that was friggin possible. No idea – but hey crisis averted. I also got some tall socks. Because shopping for myself is this exciting. Wait. I did by orange and dark chocolate chips they have out right now for Halloween! That's exciting – but no photo.
So other than that I wanted to take a quick second to say thank you to everyone that reads this thing. The people that send me nice, emails, private messages, comments, etc. You are much appreciated and I am honored every time someone tells me they find my story inspiring. Any time I'm asked to share my journey I'm just dumbfounded because I don't feel spectacular in any manner.
That being said, I get so many questions etc now, that unfortunately I can't answer and respond long winded answers like I used to. You can imagine I get lots of questions about my weightloss. I infact get a lot of the same questions. I talk about that here:
Please don't take offense to this. If I could hold everyones hand along their own journey lord knows I would certainly do it. That being said, I've got it on my to do list to be proactive about working on getting up answers to the questions I get asked most, yes, even ones that I may find personally ridiculous. Aren't you curious now?
