March 8 is International Woman's Day, and is an occasion for considerable celebration in Italy.
Not familiar with L'8 Marzo? Like many other days set aside to celebrate the rights of workers, the International Woman's Day's origins are American: At the turn of the last century women were entering the workforce in record numbers in the United States, and began to agitate for better working conditions and pay, as well as the vote. In 1908 the Socialist women of the US held demonstrations for improved working conditions, better pay, and suffrage on February 28. On February 28 1909 several thousand women turned out in Manhattan, and during the same winter the women working in the sweatshops struck for better conditions and pay, with the support of the Woman's Trade Union, which provided bail money and food.
American women continued to observe February 28 as Woman's Day, while in 1910 the delegates of the Socialist International Meeting in Copenhagen voted unanimously to establish an International Women's Day, without setting a specific date.
So in 1911 the women of Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland demonstrated on March 19, and it is estimated that more than a million people participated. A week later, on March 25, in Manhattan the Triangle fire claimed the lives of more than 140 workers, mostly immigrant girls -- there was only one fire escape for the hundreds of people trapped in the burning floors -- and the newspaper accounts led to calls for reform, while tying the fire to the struggle for women's rights in popular imagery. (For more information, including heart-rending newspaper accounts, see the Triangle Fire pages).
Yearly demonstrations continued, becoming associated with the peace movements that formed as a response to the gathering clouds of war in Europe; in particular, Russian women settled on February 28 as the day for their demonstrations. And continued to demonstrate during the war; despite opposition from other activists, on the last Sunday of February -- the 23rd -- 1917 they went on strike to protest conditions at home and the more than 2 million war dead. They called for "bread and peace," and four days later the Czar capitulated; one of the first things the provisional government did was grant women the right to vote. The date, February 23 on the Julian calendar then used in Russia, was March 8 in the Gregorian calendar used elsewhere, and that's why International Woman's Day is March 8.
In Italy it's an occasion for meetings, talks, and demonstrations, and men traditionally give women a sprig of mimosa, with its bright yellow blossoms, to mark the occasion. I'm off to buy Daughter Clelia and Wife Elisabetta theirs.
Again, happy March 8 to all who celebrate it!

Canon EOS C300 = Awesome Here's an incredible and in depth video looking into the new C300 and how it compares directly to DSLRs. I love the control, extremely amazing ISO performance, and the stellar dynamic range. I must admit, I could almost feel myself drooling over this beast. This video was taken by Jonathan Yi. Thank you to Robert Daniels for the find!
Visual Short: Nuit Blanche Put down whatever it is that you are doing, hit play, in full screen and HD, and watch intently for the next few minutes. You're about to immersed in roughly 3 minutes of the best thing you'll see this week. Thanks to Dave Hamilton for bringing this to my attention! Love at first sight, what does it really mean? Nuit Blanche explores the emotion that comes at a moment's notice. It's made in a way which uses the old world as a canvas, reminiscent in the true days of romanticism, combined with new age CGI. "Nuit Blanche explores a fleeting moment between two strangers, revealing their brief connection in a hyper real fantasy."

Announced high above its slender entry frontage, Anaba's name turns out to be quite accurate. It is indeed a 'little known good place,' though lots of sushi and other Japanese specialty lovers seem to have found their way to it over its few years of existence in the Seabridge Center that hugs the edge of one of Oxnard's channels.

From what I heard he's also a phenomenally ignorant prick. But that might be second-hand-impressions.
Still one of my favourite artists though
Very interesting and inspirational video... Sad thing I pretty much haven't read anything by him. Should try to change that...

Really nice for a quick, easy and tasty mid week meal! I used rosemary instead of sage, and found that the chorizo is better if you only roast it for 10 minutes, otherwise I found it too overdone. I also added onions as above which gave a nice sweetness. Its so easy and quick - will be making again!

This article describes the sequence of operating steps in a submersible well pump water system. The process of diagnosis and the costs of the repair are explained. Consumer advice on saving money on water supply repair costs includes a review of the parts and labor costs of a typical well pump and pressure tank replacement case. Carson Dunlop's sketch at page top shows the components of a submersible well pump water supply system. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. How a Submersible Well Pump Water System Works - Sequence of Operating StepsAlso see our other diagnostic guides for water pumps, wells, motors, in table form:
See water PUMP, SUBMERSIBLE for a description of the function of each component of a submersible well pump system. Readers should also see IDENTIFY WELL PUMP TANK COMPONENTS. If your building has water pressure problems, see WELL WATER PRESSURE DIAGNOSIS. Readers whose wells simply run out of water should also see WELL QUANTITY FLOW TEST PROCEDURE and see WELL YIELD IMPROVEMENT. What happens when you turn on the water at a faucet in a building whose water is supplied by a submersible well pump? The following steps describe normal operating of a building well pump and water supply system. Other cases in which the well pump controls are not working properly, there is a problem with the controls, pressure tank, pump, or well itself are discussed at WATER PRESSURE REPAIR GUIDE & COSTS and at WELL WATER PRESSURE DIAGNOSIS. Our sketch (left) shows a cutaway view of a submersible well pump.
Where is the Well Pump?Take a look at our well casing photograph at left. See that small gray conduit rising at the left side of the well casing? The conduit carries electrical wires into the well. That's one way to recognize that a submersible pump is installed. When a water pump is inside the well, it can be tricky to know when the pump is actually on or off, though usually we hear the pump relay clicking, and some relays have a light that indicates that the relay is telling the pump to run. The pressure switch calls for pumping by switching a relay in the pump relay, that actually turns the pump on and off. So a secondary potential problem would be in the relay itself, but we would look at the pump pressure control switch first.
General Tips for Diagnosing Water Pressure ProblemsThis sketch, courtesy of Carson Dunlop, shows five factors that affect the water pressure and flow in a building. What the sketch has not included are water pressure, quantity, or flow problems that originate at the well, well pump, or water pressure tank. Here is our comprehensive guide to diagnosing bad water pressure. If you have no water pressure at all, see No Water Pressure and see the other water pressure diagnostic articles listed just below. If your water pressure is intermittent, starts and stops, or varies in pressure, see Water Pressure Intermittent and see the other water pressure diagnostic articles listed just below. If there is some water pressure but the pressure and/or flow are poor? See the diagnostic articles listed just below. Water supply piping problem? See Bad water pressure Clogged Pipes & Water pipe clog repair guide. Keep in mind that if water is running elsewhere in the building (another shower, sink, dishwasher, clothes washer, garden hose, etc) then the water pressure you will observe at your location will usually be reduced. If you have good cold water pressure but not enough hot water pressure or hot water quantity, see HOT WATER IMPROVEMENTS If you have good water pressure at some fixtures but not at others, you probably have a clog in building piping (such as due to mineral deposits, rust, or even excessive solder in new work), or mineral and debris clogged strainers at faucets and shower heads (check these first). Also see Water pipe clog diagnosis and Water pipe clog repair guide.

Posted: 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012
By Jessica Wehrman,Jeremy P. Kelley
As local races for Congress enter their final stretch, Rep. Mike Turner has a strong financial advantage over Democratic challenger Sharen Neuhardt in the race to represent Ohio's new 10th District which represents all of Montgomery and Greene counties.
Turner, R-Centerville raised $228,090 last quarter and has raised more than $1.07 million to date this campaign. His campaign had $578,896 to spend as of Sept. 30.It has $6,996 in debt.
"Twenty days out from the election, these numbers show that we continue to be in a strong position, and Congressman Turner's message of fiscal responsibility and job creation is resonating with voters of the new 10th District," Turner spokesman Tom Crosson said.
Neuhardt, a Yellow Springs attorney, raised $156,354 last quarter and has raised $497,512 to date this campaign. Her campaign had $94,319 on hand as of Sept. 30 and has $92,000 in debt, some from her last campaign for Congress.
"We're proud of the more than 1,400 individuals who have contributed to our campaign," Neuhardt's spokesman Michael McGovern said. "We're going to continue to run a robust campaign and hold Mike Turner accountable for his failed record in Congress."
Turner, Neuhardt and Libertarian candidate Dave Harlow are running in the 10th District which also includes part of Fayette County.
In Ohio's 4th District, Rep. Jim Jordan R-Urbana,, raised $162,923 during the last quarter and spent $182,971. He had more than $1.08 million on hand as of Sept. 30 and no debt.
His Democratic opponent, Jim Slone of Elyria, raised $5,063 between July 1 and Sept. 30 and had $7,544 in the bank. He spent $9,361 last quarter.
The 4th District is one of the largest in the state and includes all or parts of Shelby, Champaign, Logan and Auglaize counties as well as others stretching all the way to Lake Erie. Libertarian Chris Kalla is also running in that race.
Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Cincinnati, raised $169,357 and spent $325,740 last quarter. He had $430,952 in the bank. His Democratic challenger, Jeff Sinnard of Cincinnati, does not appear to have raised or spent more than $5,000. The Federal Election Commission does not require candidates to file campaign finance reports unless they've raised more than that amount.
They are running in the 1st District which includes part of Hamilton and all of Warren County. Green Party candidate Rich Stevenson and Libertarian Jim Berns are also running.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., has no general election opponent this year. Still, Boehner amassed nearly $2.5 million in donations to his Friends of John Boehner account last quarter a sum that doesn't count his other leadership PACs or his "Boehner for Speaker" account. He had more than $1 million in the bank as of Sept. 30.
Starting in 2013, Boehner will add Clark County to his district which also includes Butler, Preble, Darke, Miami and part of Mercer county.
Brown outraised Mandel by $1 M in last quarter
In the U.S. Senate race, Sen. Sherrod Brown outraised Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel by nearly $1 million during the last quarter, according to a Federal Election Commission report filed yesterday.
Brown, D-Ohio, raised more than $5.4 million between July 1 and Sept. 30, according to his report. He has raised more than $20.7 million to date.
Mandel, meanwhile, raised $4.5 million during that same period, and has raised more than $14 million to date, according to figures released last week by his campaign.
He's raised more than 84,000 donations, and 75 percent have been $100 or less, according to Mandel's campaign.
Brown's campaign, meanwhile, said the average contribution by individuals has been $54. He has nearly $4.9 million in the bank.
Staff writer Jeremy P. Kelley contributed to this report.

College Corner, Ohio
Hueston Woods State Park
[ 6/10 ]
Friendly hosts and lots of nearby activities. The sites are quite small and you are pretty packed in there. We camped her with friends who brought a pop-up, so we all shared two sites, which made this more bearable. I would probably camp here again despite the close quarters because we live nearby and there are lots of activities we haven't enjoyed here yet.
Spencer, Indiana
Hickory Hills Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Most of the sites at this campground are seasonal; in fact, during our four night stay there was only one night when there were other overnight. What this meant was we didn't have any neighbors really close. It was very quiet. We did meet a few of the neighbors and they were really friendly and helpful. I wouldn't recommend this campground for people with children, because one little boy came over and asked us if we had seen any kids around (he was looking for someone to play with) and when we said we hadn't he burst in to tears. The site was fairly large and well maintained. The male host was very friendly and even sold us firewood the first night after the camp store was closed. The female host was, unfortunately, not so friendly. The firewood they sold us was unseasoned, but one of the year-round neighbors traded us for some that would burn without being drenched in lighter fluid. We went on the canoe trip, which had it's ups and downs: we didn't see anyone else on the river the entire time, but then we had to wait for 75 minutes for the guy to come pick us up at the end. He apologized for the wait and said that the way that trips are scheduled means this happens a lot. My husband said the "swimming pond" was actually a little mud pit not much bigger than our site so we didn't bother with that. We had fun here, but I doubt we will return.

Air Jordan XII – Carmelo Anthony Denver Nuggets Away PE
July 29th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
As we showed you in last August's Air Jordan XII PE rundown, Carmelo Anthony is one of the Twelve's biggest fans. Melo has at least half a dozen AJ 12 exclusives to his name, including this Denver Nuggets 'Away' style with the familiar 'MELO' heel stitching. This pair differs from the leather black/blue Melo XIIs in that while those were a total exclusive, this one is more like a personalized version of the 'Nubuck' colorway that hit retail during Anthony's first month in the NBA. Take a closer look at this rare game issued but unworn Melo PE, then enter a bid with syr001 on eBay.

Broken NES Lunchbox w/ Controller Handle
I get the NES lunchbox and 'A Game of Thrones', but what's up with the Q-tip?
This is the lunchbox redditor Masennus made after his Nintendo stopped working and isn't the first NES lunchbox we've seen on Geekologie, just the better one. I love how a sandwich fits perfectly into the cartridge slot. One time I put a piece of bread in my Genesis and it stopped working. I haven't played Altered Beast since. Just kidding, I have, but only in the bedroom. Get it? Because sometimes I dress up like a werewolf and scratch at the door.
My Nintendo stopped working. Nailed it? [reddit]
Thanks to Dihan, who made a sandwich carrying case out an old Sega CD but got bitched out when Ecco found out sometimes he was toting tuna salad.
This is a Tiffany style Master Chief helmet lamp crafted by Michael McLane (of Boba Fett Tiffany lamp fame). You can buy it for $840 on Etsy HERE. Or you can just look at these pictures for free and think about how nice it would look on a table in your library. But you don't... / Continue →

The Dow Jones industrial average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq all fell modestly.
The S&P 500 hit a new peak Tuesday after a disappointing jobs report for September fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve will delay plans to scale back its massive bond-buying program until 2014.
But the momentum faded Wednesday as investors sifted through a raft of mixed reports from Corporate America.
"Earnings are certainly the focus," said Art Hogan, managing director at Lazard Capital Markets. "On balance, we've had more bad news than good news over the last 24 hours."
Investors were also grappling with "global macro issues," he added. Chinese stocks fell sharply on concerns about rising money market rates and risky bank lending. European markets were under pressure after the European Central Bank said banks would be subjected to more stringent stress tests.
However, Hogan said the retreat was not surprising given the recent rally. Stocks had gained for the past five days in a row.

A mixed bag of earnings: Dow component Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500) reported a slump in sales and earnings, noting that a slowdown in the mining sector has taken a bite out of heavy equipment manufacturing. Caterpillar shares were down 6%.
"$CAT so this means i should be able to get a great deal on that bulldozer i've had my eye on!?" quipped StockTwits user Captain_Hindsight.
But Boeing (BA, Fortune 500), which is also in the Dow, rose 5% after the company reported a surge in quarterly profit and revenue as the aircraft manufacturer works its way through a backlog of orders.
"i guessed the right direction for earns move on $BA," said racernic. "still holding. lotto $,"
It appears the government shutdown did not have a big impact on defense contractors. Rival Northrop Grumman (NOC, Fortune 500) reported earnings and sales above expectations and raised its outlook for the year. Lockheed Martin (LMT, Fortune 500) also reported strong results on Tuesday, sending its stock sharply higher.
Shares of Broadcom (BRCM, Fortune 500) sank 3% after the chipmaker said Tuesday that sales will be below analysts' expectations in the fourth quarter. One trader said Qualcomm (QCOM, Fortune 500) might be a better bet in the communications chip sector.
"$BRCM 52w low very possible today. want to invest in mobile chips? pick QCOM," said HookEM.
AT&T (T, Fortune 500) reported earnings after the closing bell that topped forecasts. Sales were roughly in line with estimates.
So far, 80 of the 130 S&P 500 companies have beat expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ. But many analysts still expect relatively weak earnings for the rest of the year.
Related: Fear and Greed index is getting greedy
Shares of Corning (GLW, Fortune 500) rallied after the company announced a $2 billion stock buyback, as well as a deal to take full control of a partnership with Samsung Display, which manufactures LCD glass used by makers of smartphones and tablets.
Netflix (NFLX) shares bounced back from a sharp decline Tuesday, even though hedge fund manager Carl Icahn revealed late Tuesday that he had reduced his stake in the company. Despite the rebound, some traders still see more downside ahead for Netflix shares.
"$NFLX If many longs decide to take some profits and follow Carl's suit, could see <$300 even with that positive ER. Still overvalued," said IjustGUESS.
Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) rose 1%. Icahn tweeted late Wednesday that he has sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, and that the letter will be available Thursday on a new website Icahn is launching. Icahn took a stake in Apple earlier this year and has been pressuring the company to give back some of its cash to shareholders through a bigger stock buyback.

The purpose of medical care is to prevent scarring until the disease characteristically spontaneously remits after the conclusion of puberty. Many treatment options are available to treat all forms of acne. Medications are the main treatment for acne and usually work well. Several preparations are available over the counter, while others require a prescription from a doctor.

Jeff these look incredible, man! Really diggin em, I hope you definitely do more of these, what are the dimensions of these two?
I like 'em. Your admiration of Struzan is certainly showing in these, and that's no bad thing.
Maybe pop in some darker tones to punch up the focal areas a bit?
hey i saw your name under hellboy's image and was thinking him nude LOL any way great work!!!
Thanks Eric, they are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches Thanks Matt, yeah Im a Drew fan. Thanks for dropping by bjoern3000. Thanks Sony 'LOL'
Very cool, man. Especially being that small. If I were to get nitpicky, I'd say that above Jack's right eye (left in our view) looks a little off. I can't tell if it's a little too puffy there or if the definition would be tightened if the eyebrow was a little darker. Great stuff, though.
What kind of materials did you use for these and your other nude drawings? It's pencil, right? What brand?
They look good by the way, very nice. I like your style.
Thank you for your comment koch, and to answer your question Psych , I usually use golden acrylic paints and Derwent or prismacolor color pencils.
dude , can u show some more stuff ?? i really like those
I really like your technique, but I think you are selling yourself short by doing them from stills from movies...not to mention the blatant copyright violation since you are selling them.
I'm not sure if these two particular were from stills, but they are definitely the likeness of those characters as portrayed by those actors as opposed to your own take on them.
I don't mean to come down on you, but I just see this too often where people are not aware of the risk they are taking by selling someone elses intellectual property or likeness without consent.
O.K. Vibhas heres a Frodo and Sam I did. IndieWise Sorry you don't like them.
heh, its cute that you thought IndieWise was saying that he "didn't like them"
maybe you should re-read his post and actually try to absorb some smarts from it
he didn't say he didn't like them.
that came from YOU, not him, and i think that is shitty and just plain rude putting words into other peoples mouths, not to mention being so dismissive of the actual point he was trying to make, AND condescending by "thanking" the fucking post.
not cool.
Awesome... simply awesome. I'm a long time Struzan's fan - but even with the same technique, your works stay original. 5+
"I'm a fuel injected suicide machine. I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller!"
Thanks Borillius your comments are always appreciated.

This post has bugged me for a month so I went and dug it up. The first time I let what TheDirtySyndicate said pass. I hate getting into an arguments here, but it just irritated me for weeks on end! "absorb some smarts" that such an a-hole way of saying something. Calling me rude and condescending? What a bunch of baloney
I realize that Hellboy and Jack Sparrow are copyrighted material and that I have no rights to it (not that I don't see a Batman piece on this site like every other day and nobody else seems to get accused of copyright infringement) I'm not a moron.
But who has right to the work I created? I painted it, but I don't own it and have no right to sell it? Well I disagree with that. This is my art, my self-expression. I created it that makes it mine.
How can anyone say you cannot paint this or draw that! What about artist like Warhol? or about a thousand other pop artist painting movie stars? Their works are illegal?
I understand copyright law, I'm not selling bootleg videos of Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm selling a piece of art that I painted. If there's a law that says I can't do that then I disagree with that law.
IndieWise If I offended you earlier then I apologize, I didn't mean to skim over your comment so lightly
Dirtysyndicate I fully intended to offend you with my comments. I would like to formally thank you for your insults and if you dont like being thanked then "tough"
By the way here's my new work
sorry. i dont mean to offend anyone.
im just speaking my mind.
i think part of the reason i was kind of rude was because of this subconscious dislike i have for you.
dont get me wrong, i dont even know you, im not even consciously doing it, its just that... well...
i've strived my entire life to create something original. to be unique with my art, whether it be illustration, photography, graphic design, motion graphics, collage, poetry, the music i write, etc.
its all 100% original. shit that i've created from my own imagination.
and i push myself every fucking day to continue that tradition.
in fact, my job requires me to.
every day i have to come up with something new and exciting, fresh, unique, otherwise i wont be able to find work.
in other words, i see you as the guy who plays at the dive bar down the street every wednesday doing great covers of popular 80's songs.
where im the guy writing the songs that you'll be playing in the dive bar 10 years from now.
so yeah, maybe there's a little subconscious resentment there.
because yes, what you do unfortunately DOES have a place in this world. there isn't anything wrong with it. you CAN make money doing what you're doing.
but i dont have to respect it.
i realize my message wasn't clear when i re-read my last post:
in a nutshell:
i'd like to see you apply your rendering skills towards something original.
do you have any self portraits? done by looking in a mirror and not a photo?
do you have any characters of your own? stories you'd like to tell?
if so, TELL THEM! create a world! populate it with characters! design that world, design those characters! design the cars they drive! the clothes they wear! the abnormal growths they might have on their faces!
there are unlimited depths that can be explored, but you choose to reproduce things that aren't yours....
if you applied your awesome rendering skills to some life drawing, i swear that shit would end up in a fucking art gallery.
i dont want to see you waste your talent.
Okay, the thing about fan art like this is...unless someone lives under a rock they're unlikely to confuse the fact that you didn't create the characters you're depicting in your art...but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily legal.
By the logic you put forth...what if you designed an original character, and then I rendered it in 3D as my own "art" to use in a video game, from which I made profit and gave you none? You can try to argue that it's different, but it's not... it's just the roles reversed.
*Edit* And by the way...with the cover band analogy, they do in fact have to pay royalties, it's just not widely enforced because it's difficult to do so.

wow! this thread makes an for an interesting read, i give it 5 stars just for that!
I for one like your work Jeff. Your perfectly entitled to paint these and they look pretty good. Many a time i've watched a film and felt inspired to paint something based on it (though admittedly i wouldn't try selling it).
Like TheDirtSyndicate says, would be great to see you apply your skills to other subjects. His words may be a bit on the harsh side , but i think he does have some valuable points to make.... up to you how you take it i guess.
At the end of the day, do the art that makes you happy

Baravelli: Well, you didn't stay at the other college very long.
I think there is value in painting realistically, whether or not its from a photo. There is value in what I do.
absolutely, this is an artists community website, therefore all art of all forms is appreciated. I wouldn't take what TheDirtSyndicate says too much to heart buddy.

That analogy doesn't work, as I see it. What you're referring to is mass marketting someone else's IP as your own. Where Jeff is taking a mass marketted IP and making a one-off from it. And maybe selling it to a (I'm assuming) private customer. Two different birds altogether, no?
Whatever the case, Jeff, your work is great. I love the style. It is quite Struzany, but still your own at the the same time.

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — Albany-based Thrush Aircraft has agreed to a deal with the Chinese government to ship 20 agricultural aircraft to the world's most populous nation.
State-owned Beidahuang Group of Harbin, China, will employ the equipment, which includes 20 crop dusters from Thrush, four sprayers, 10 tractors, 70 combines, four Robinson helicopters and six Air Tractor crop dusters, on farms in Northern China.
"This is a terrific example of the power of an extremely bright and highly capable banking team bringing their expertise to bear on a commercial opportunity that helps — not only Thrush Aircraft and our jobs — but our new customers in China as well," said Payne Hughes, president of Thrush Aircraft. "I'm not exaggerating when I say this deal simply would not have been possible without Ex-Im banking behind it."
Ex-Im, or Export-Import Bank of the United States, is an independent arm of the U.S. Federal Government that helps facilitate global opportunities for American companies in an effort to create jobs.
In total, the deal includes more than $55 million in investment by the Chinese in U.S. companies like Thrush and will create up to 400 new jobs, although it's not immediately clear how the order will impact Thrush financially.y.

The post season came to a close much too quickly for the Carroll County Panthers boys basketball team, as they were booted out of the 31st District Tournament Monday night by Eminence. The Warriors knocked down seven 3-pointers in the third quarter and hit their free throws down the stretch to beat the Panthers, 71-65. Eminence (7-20) will take on No. 1 seeded Owen County (16-9) at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Carroll County High School. No. 2 seed Gallatin County plays No. 3 seed Henry County at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Tire amnesty May 1-3
The county will host a tire collection May 1-3. Carroll County Judge-Executive Harold "Shorty" Tomlinson said the county has to provide a place to store the tires and three or four workers to help load them. He said they may need a few more than that because there are a number of places that have a large number of used tires. At the Feb. 11, meeting, Tomlinson said the county already has more than 800 tires that can go into the recycling program.
Watershed project moves forward
By a vote of 3-2, the Carroll County School Board voted to continue adding on days to the end of the school year and NOT use Spring Break as makeup days. The district has had 14 snow days as of today, and the last day for students is June 3.
However, the board is leaving open the option of possibly taking Memorial Day or a Saturday as a make up day if the district continues to have snow days so that Carroll County High School graduation is not pushed back any further. Graduation is currently scheduled for Sunday, June 8.
The Lady Panthers had their eye on a spot in the 31st District Championship game and in the 8th Region Tournament, but fell short of their goal as the Henry County Lady Cats delivered the season-ending blow, 38-29, Tuesday night. The Lady Panthers end the season 6-17. Henry County advances to take on Gallatin County in the 31st District Championship Thursday at 7 p.m.
Carroll County High School junior Lauren Moore and senior Dakota Corbin were named to the 2013-14 North Central Kentucky Conference All-Conference Team.
The following also were named to the girls' NCKC team: Paige Black, Jessie Dunlap and Kaylee Clifford of Trimble County; Katie Cheek and Michaela Kennedy of Williamstown; Brooke Dossett and Hannah Dossett of Gallatin County; Shelby Mullikin and Allie Mills of Walton-Verona; Ashlee Gravley of Owen County; and Cheyenne Clark of Henry County.
Rebels roll over Panthers
Owen County defeated Carroll County 73-46 to claim the No. 1 seed in the 31st District Tournament Wednesday, Feb. 20.
The Panthers (14-12) were without starting point guard senior Austin Crowell, who injured his knee during senior night the day before.
Carroll County was still close heading into halftime, down 33-25, but Owen County (16-8) broke the game wide open in the third quarter.

An American flag will light up the night sky over the Ohio River in Carrollton during this year's Fourth of July fireworks show.
The pyrotechnic flag, along with 24 red-tailed salutes, will be part of a display from Vito's Fireworks in Covington, selected by Carrollton City Council Monday night as this year's vendor.
Unhappy with the pricing of Freedom Fireworks from Louisville at the last meeting, Councilman Robb Adams sought proposals from Vito's, which had put on other shows he had attended.

text: They say: "One hundred years of excellence just got better." We say: "Give or take a few years of '70s mediocrity..." They say: "One hundred years of excellence just got better." We say: "Give or take a Since October 2008, when British businessman Stuart Garner acquired the rights to the Norton name from the previous American owners, he has moved quickly to return the historic marque to the marketplace. Garner almost immediately erected a 20,000 square-foot factory at the Donington Park race circuit, and then recruited a strong group of executives and engineers (many from the nearby Triumph factory) to push forward development of the first new Norton motorcycles sold to the public in 18 years. Starting with a trio of prototypes American Kenny Dreer designed and built almost 10 years ago, Norton's Head of Design, Simon Skinner, first fit fuel injection, a catalyst exhaust and secondary air injection to achieve Euro3 compliance. He next made changes to reduce mechanical noise and vibration (both of which were issues on Dreer's machine), and re-engineered numerous components to be more appropriate for high-volume manufacturing. "Silly things like draft angles for castings, using metric tubing for the frame rather than inches-stuff like that," Skinner says. One thing that didn't change was the look of the bike. "Kenny got the styling 100 percent right," he declares. We were the first representatives from outside the company to ride a new Commando on public roads, immediately after it passed homologation testing. We sampled the Cafe Racer version, which is muscular and purposeful-looking, with a big, broad-shouldered engine and a stylish flyscreen surrounding its halogen headlamp. The 961cc, pushrod parallel-twin is mounted in a chromoly tubular duplex cradle frame, with its fabricated backbone doubling as the oil tank. At 32 inches, the solo saddle is low enough that most riders can reach both feet to the ground, and with footpegs repositioned lower and farther forward than on the prototypes, the Cafe Racer is more comfortable, even with its clip-on handlebars located beneath the upper triple clamp. Crank the powerful-sounding starter motor (maybe it's just got a big battery) and the nearly liter-sized parallel-twin rumbles to life, firing every 270 degrees and sounding great through an optional, "track-only" 2-1-2 exhaust. Mechanical noise isn't excessive for an air-cooled engine-on par with a Ducati Desmodue-and vibration is greatly reduced compared to the Dreer bike, too. The newest Norton vibes no worse, even at peak revs, than a 90-degree V-twin. Indy racing specialists Menard Competition Technologies, which assisted with re-tuning the powerplant, altered the power delivery to be more linear. The bike now pulls strongly from 2000 rpm up, and 4000 revs is the gateway to serious acceleration. There's no point in crowding the 8000-rpm rev limiter because it pulls just as hard at 6500 rpm, where the peak output of 80 horsepower is produced. It's a very friendly and usable motor, encouraging you to surf the waves of punchy torque. Low-end fueling is especially good, suggesting Skinner & Co. took some time calibrating the EFI system, which consists of single Bosch injectors mounted above 35mm throttle bodies and managed by an OMEX ECU. We were also impressed with Norton's oil-bath clutch, which is delightfully light and progressive, though it's paired to a disappointing gear-change mechanism that will almost certainly need to be revised for production. The angle of the direct-action lever makes upshifting difficult and frequently results in missed shifts. Norton's engineers are working on a solution, which will likely involve fitting a linkage to reposition the shift lever at a more convenient angle. Handling of the C&J-built frames was a strong suit for the Dreer bikes, and the Brit-built Commando maintains essentially the same geometry and sweet steering manners, tipping easily into turns without falling into the apex as you trail off the brakes. An engine mounted near to the ground and forward in the frame provides a low center of gravity, which inspires neutral manners at any speed. The Norton feels agile yet stable, and compliant suspension lets you trust the bike completely over any surface. Skinner lowered the swingarm pivot point 18mm to improve anti-squat tendencies and provide for better traction. The Ohlins piggyback shocks are custom-built to Norton's specs and lengthened slightly, giving more cornering clearance and putting more weight on the front wheel for quicker turning. The Ohlins fork is as good as you can get for road use, and the Dunlop Qualifier radials suit the bike well, especially the 180mm-wide rear that delivers sufficient traction without slowing turn-in. The Brembo radial brake package provides controllable, effective stopping power with just the right degree of sensitivity. This born-again Brit-bike, with its roots in the USA, is robustly engineered, well-built and fun to ride. The visceral appeal of this rowdy, single-seat hot-rod is thoroughly in keeping with its heritage, and makes Triumph's Bonneville seem bland by comparison. This time it's for real: Norton is back.
