I'm quite excited that my image of the Domino Sugar sign was selected as the winner of the Domino Sugar Photo Contest! I'm a passionate amateur photographer and am always looking for a great shot that captures the essence of a place.
I took this shot on a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry with my wife and family. It was great to be there and experience the iconic Domino Sugar sign and tugboat. I was intrigued by the reflections of the tug and clouds in the water and thought both added depth and interest to the image. If you like this shot be sure to take a look at my image galleries. It would be nice to know if you like what you see.
Thanks to Domino Sugar for sponsoring the contest and the great prize!
One of the things I really enjoy about having photography as
a hobby is spending time together with other photographers and taking
photographic journeys. On these journeys traveling down the road the question
often is "should we stop here"? On an ambitious day and the photographic sprit is
strong most times it's a yes. On other days the ambition and photographic sprit
yields something like "We can come back later and shoot here if we want". In some cases familiarity with a location can
breed a bit of complacency because the though is "I can shoot this any time". Well, in the case of this image "Emerging
Crop" The federal house was in a location I had driven by with my photo buds
many times. Year after year we drove by because the draw to the destination of
the Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge always took precedence. That is until a rainy day
in May When Annette and I stopped to shoot. The resulting image is one that I'm proud of
and I think it captures some of the essence of the area. I'm certainly glad we
stopped. In my mind I looked forward to future opportunities to capture the
spirit of this place in different moods. But alas drove by it several more
times with the thought, "I can shoot this any time". This is not to be. What once was a Federal
House on the road to Bombay Hook is now a Pile of Bricks. Shoot it when you see
Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada is a great place to
visit. Around every corner and every bend the desert landscape has been shaped
by wind water and time. Valley of Fire is 55 miles from Las Vegas and well
worth a visit with or without a camera.
I became aware of this park after seeing images of the Fire
Wave. On my journey to the Fire Wave
there were many other spectacular features to photograph. My best guess is the
rock formation in this photo is a Igneous Intrusion similar to the Devils Tower
in Wyoming. I've done a bit of searching
to see if I can find any information on this specific feature in the park with no
luck. Let me know if you have any details.
Grand Tetons National Park is truly a spectacular place to
visit. Oxbow bend is a classic photograph in the park and a great place to view
wildlife. This shot with Mount Moran the prominent mountain in the shot was
taken pre-dawn and converted to B&W using Nik Silver Efex Pro and post
processed in Photoshop. . I really feel
that this image was best in B&W and the dramatic contrast gives a great sense
of what it was like to be there.
Zabriske Point is located in Death Valley National Park. I showed this shot to Annette from the Baltimore Camera Club and she described it as a parfait. The look is the result of using a 200mm lens to take the shot. The effect this has is to compress the elements in the image together reducing the "depth". It is quite the opposite effect that using a wide angle lens with a prominent foreground object would have. Be sure to take a look at other work in my gallery from this trip! I will continue to add more in the coming months.
The Mobius Arch is in the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine California. The Alabama Hills area is home to hundreds of arches. The area was used Hollywood to shoot and number of westerns Including Rawhide and King of the Khyber Rifles. In fact the Mobius Arch is located off of Movie Drive. This is a two shot panorama and I took it with the expectation that it would be converted to B&W. I'm quite happy with the result. The sky was pretty crazy! The Sierra's are in the background and Lone Pine Peak is centered in the arch. The tallest peak in the lower 48, Mt. Whitney is blocked by the arch.
This photo was taken on rainy day at Scott's Run. Scott's Run was swollen with water from the recent rains and concrete pillars placed across the creek as "stepping stones", created the "pulse" as the water rushed by. In the Galleries and you can see an image that contains the pillars. The curves and texture are what drew me to create this image.
I was inspired by recent work Karen Messick has been doing. She has been creating what I would consider to be kaleidoscope images . Being that ice abstracts are one of my favorite things to shoot I took a few to create kaleidoscopic images. The kaleidoscope effect is created by mirroring a single image in Photoshop . I think I'll do some more.
Susquehanna St Park, below the Conowingo dam is the place I go when the temperatures drop below freezing. Arriving pre-dawn, hopeful that water has not been released to generate the days electricity . On some days the water is up and the days ice washed away before the sun rises. Some days give a few tantalizing minutes before the flood. Some days you get lucky and can shoot until worn out and cross-eyed. The infinite opportunity for icy compositions is the result of the reduced flow of water from the Conowingo dam the water receding and leaving a blanket of ice on shores edge. I Love Ice!

Staffordshire pottery was an immediate success when brought to America in the 18th century. This type of earthenware was inexpensive, fashionable and distinguished by colorful transfer-printed designs. Its popularity continued throughout the 19th and 20th centuries with many designs featuring George Washington and Mount Vernon. John H. Roth & Company has been supplying Mount Vernon with Staffordshire souvenir ceramics for over half of a century. Today they produce wares in porcelain, but they still retain the elaborate and brilliant designs that have been enjoyed for generations.
Made in Staffordshire England.

October 15, 1988 was an iconic day in Dodgers history. October 20, 1988 was a big deal too. Since then, perhaps no day has filled a Dodger fan with joy as much as today. Barring an eleventh hour hiccup, the Dodgers are no longer owned by Frank McCourt as of today. Today is day one of the Stan Kasten/Magic Johnson regime.
With new ownership comes new hope, with fresh cash blanketing the embarrassment and mediocrity that defined the Dodgers in recent seasons. There figure to be no more off-seasons requiring an offensive upgrade that yield Mark Ellis as the big catch.
It might not be so easy to just throw money around, of course. The Cubs haven't had that much success after all, and the Yankees have just one World Series championship in the past 11 years. It does, however, promise to be much better than it has been.
Naturally, the free agent market isn't as rosy as a Dodger fan would hope. Albret Pujols, Prince Fielder, Andrew McCutchen, Joey Votto...all tied up. They could get creative in trades to acquire a big contract, and Bill Shaikin floats the intriguing idea of flipping pitching depth for Carl Crawford. Ken Rosenthal thinks that any big splash is unlikely, with theDodgers waiting until the offseason to make a big move.
While we know little of the operations management of the new Dodgers' ownership, they figure to be a huge step up. The Dodgers are still paying millions of dollars to Manny Ramirez, Andruw Jones and Juan Pierre, among others. Much of that money disappears after this season, meaning the rising salaries of Clayton Kershaw and Matt Kemp are buffered.
The rough patch is over. The big bad Dodgers were down. The Rockies managed just a 166-179 record in the McCourt era after the drama of the divorce was announced. The Dodgers? 178-167. The Rockies couldn't even keep up with the Dodgers' dark ages, and there is potential now for the team to be as strong as ever in years to come.
NL West Report
Arizona (11-11, W1, 3rd, 5.0 GB)
Last Week: 3-3. 1-2 vs. Phillies. 2-1 @ Marlins.
You Should Know: From AZSnakePit:
Last year #dbacks only lost four times when leading after seven innings. (Saturday) was their third such defeat already in 2012.
— Jim McLennan (@AZSnakepit) April 29, 2012
Next Week: Last game of a 4-game road series @ Marlins. 3 game road series @ Nationals. 3 game road series @ Mets.
Divisional Change: Took sole possession over third place, but fell one game behind the Dodgers.
News: Vladimir Guerrero will work out for the Diamondbacks and may be used as an interleague DH. Arizona used a similar tactic last year, riding Wily Mo Pena during interleague.
It really is unfair. Daniel Hudson gets hurt, Josh Collmenter is indeed a pumpkin. Instead of calling up Tyler Skaggs, Trevor Bauer or even Patrick Corbin, the Diamondbacks turned to Wade Miley, who had been in the bullpen. All Miley did was take a one-hitter into the seventh inning, and he is boasting a pretty strong stat line for the season.
Miley is just one of five Diamondbacks pitchers with ERA's under 2.00, joining Brad Ziegler, Craig Breslow and Bryan Shaw. Oh right, I said five. Joe Saunders checks in at 0.90 (with a 2.98 FIP). The Diamondbacks do plan to callup Patrick Corbin to start today's game in Collmenter's spot. Corbin had a 1.67 ERA in 4 starts at AA Mobile.
Lyle Overbay hasn't been the future at 1B in Arizona in almost a decade if ever, but he has a 151 OPS+ so far this season. Paul Goldschmidt IS the future, or he was supposed to be, but his 49 OPS+ creates a difficult shuffle for Kirk Gibson at first base.
Quotable: In a Josh Johnson/Wade Miley matchup, a hitter had the following to say:
"It was awesome. He's really nasty and has some good stuff. I'm glad I don't have to face him. It's pretty fun to watch." - Jason Kubel on...Miley.
Transactions: Designated RHP Jonathan Albaladejo for assignment and optioned LHP Joe Paterson (4/24). Called up RHP Joe Martinez and LHP Mike Zagurski (4/24). RHP Jonathan Albaladejo cleared waivers and was assigned to AAA Reno.
Injuries: SS Stephen Drew (ankle) played three innings of extended spring training last Friday and should return in the next two weeks. RHP Daniel Hudson (shoulder) threw from 60 feet Friday and is still at least two weeks away. CF Chris Young (shoulder) received treatment on his shoulder and should return in the next weeks.
Los Angeles (16-6, W3, 1st)
Last Week: 4-2. 1-2 vs. Braves. 3-0 vs. Nationals.
You Should Know: The National League leader in Walk Percentage is a Dodger. It is...AJ Ellis, who has walked his way on base 20.9% of his plate appearances, which has helped him to an ever-quiet 135 wRC+ and 0.8 fWAR April.
This Week: 3 game road series @ Rockies. 3 game road series @ Cubs.
Divisional Change: Gained a half game in the division, pushing their record to 4.0 full games.
News: Bill Shaikin does not believe Bobby Abreu is a fit with the Dodgers, unless it is in a Jason Giambi role.
Andre Ethier has expressed in the past a desire and expectation to leave Los Angeles. Now that he is playing well, Ned Colletti says he always planned on keeping Ethier.
Kenley Jansen got the save yesterday, even though Javy Guerra warmed up. Javy Guerra is (supposedly) the closer. Eric Stephen sorts through the clues of the (maybe) closer controversy.
Matt Kemp hit a walk-off home run during Bryce Harper's debut, and he was happy about it.
Eric Stephen has a solid week recap on the Dodgers.
The Angels were the "California Angels" for 42 seasons. Then they were the Anaheim Angels for eight years. It's hard to believe, but this is already Year 8 of "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." The transition of the Angels to a legitimate rival to the Dodgers in Los Angeles has be slow in the making, and the name has been evolving to fit. Next stop: Los Angeles Angels. Seriously. With Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Angels might just infringe on Dodgers territory more by moving to downtown Los Angeles. As Bill Shaikin wrote:
What could possibly wipe the smiles off the faces of Magic Johnson, Stan Kasten and Mark Walter? How about the Angels moving into a new ballpark in downtown Los Angeles, three miles from Dodger Stadium?
Quotable: Manager Don Mattingly, on those that doubt the Dodgers are for real.
"I can't be concerned with chatter. We win games, but we're not beating anybody. Now we play two hot teams, 'Well, you did it at home and now you have to do it on the road.'"
Transactions: Called up LHP Michael Antonini from AAA Albuquerque (4/24). Called up RHP Nathan Eovaldi and optioned LHP Michael Anonini to AAA Albuquerque (4/27). Optioned RHP Nathan Eovaldi to AA Chattanooga (4/29).
Injuries: Placed RHP Matt Guerrier (elbow tendinitis) on the 15-day DL retroactive to April 19 (4/24). RHP Aaron Harang is day-to-day with a bruised foot. 2B Ivan DeJusus Jr (oblique) played a rehab game Friday. RHP Todd Coffey is expected to come off the disabled list today. LF Juan Rivera has missed five consecutive games with a hamstring strain.
San Diego (7-16, L2, 5th, 9.5 GB)
Last Week: 2-4. 1-2 vs. Nationals. 1-2 @ Giants. The Padres are still looking for their first series victory of the season.
You Should Know: At 9.5 GB, the Padres are tied with the Angels for the furthest behind their division leader in the league.
This Week: 3 game home series vs. Brewers. 3 game home series vs. Marlins.
Divisional Change: Fell two games further behind in the division.
News: Former Dodgers owner Peter O'Malley is hoping to have a deal in place by the All-Star break to purchase the Padres.
Jason Bartlett is on pace to have a $5.5million option for 2013 vest based on plate appearances.
Chase Headley is having a much better season than you realized:
Padres CEO hints that the Padres are considering moving the fences in at PetCo Park. Don't get too excited though. This is the third time such an idea has been pursued. It seems to come in four year cycles.
Quotable: Interim CEO Tom Garfinkel on moving the fences in:
"I do believe it is too extreme right now. It will still be a pitcher's ballpark. But a hitter should be rewarded if he crushes it. And if a team is down 4-0, they should feel there is some hope. It's just too extreme....We'd have to submit plans by the end of the season...We have to get it right. We are studying everything"
Transactions: Called up RHP Dale Thayer from the Tucson Padres (4/26). Activated CF Blake Tekotte from the disabled list and called him up from AAA Tucson.
Injuries: Placed RHP Micah Owings on the 15-day disabled list and transferred RHP Dustin Moseley to the 60-day disabled list (4/26). Placed OF Jeremy Hermida (hip) on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to retroactive to April 27 (4/28).
San Francisco (12-10, 2nd, 4.0 GB)
Last Week: 5-3. 2-0 @ Mets. 1-2 @ Reds. 2-1 vs. Padres.
You Should Know: From the Mercury News:
There have been eight games at AT&T Park this season, and twice pitchers have broken up no-hitters in the sixth inning. Weird.
— Alex Pavlovic (@AlexPavlovic) April 29, 2012
This Week: 3 game home series vs. Marlins. 3 game home series vs. Brewers.
Divisional Change: Jumped past the Rockies for second place in the division, but remained four games behind the Dodgers.
News: Tim Lincecum still doesn't seem right, and despite scouts believing he may have a hip issue, Lincecum denies it.
Quotable: Tim Lincecum, on his struggles:
"Your head's spinning. You don't know what's going on. You're going through 50 different answers to try to get one. Sometimes, it's easy to simplify it and think simple, stupid. Just throw."
Transactions: Called up IF Joaquin Arias from AAA Fresno (4/25). Called up RHP Eric Hacker from AAA Fresno and optioned RHP Dan Otero to AAA Fresno (4/27). Optioned RHP Eric Hacker to AAA Fresno and called up RHP Steve Edlefsen from AAA Fresno (4/28).
Injuries: Placed 1B/LF Aubrey Huff (anxiety) on the 15-day DL retroactive to April 22 (4/25). Transferred RHP Brian Wilson to the 60-day disabled list (4/27).

A proposal that would allow handgun carry permit holders to store firearms in their vehicles no matter where they are parked is headed for a vote on the Senate floor.
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed its version of the bill 8-0 on Tuesday. It's now being scheduled for a full Senate vote and could be on the Senate floor later this week.
The measure backed by the National Rifle Association failed last year amid property rights arguments made by the business community. The NRA and other gun rights advocates blamed House Republican Caucus Chairwoman Debra Maggart for the bill's failure, and bankrolled a successful effort to oust her in the primary.
Bill Ozier, chairman of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry, says the proposal is better than last year's. But he says it still needs specifics.

D.C.'s Tompkins Builders to work on disabled veterans memorial
WASHINGTON (AP) - Washington-based Tompkins Builders has been chosen to build the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial near the Capitol.
Tompkins has previously worked on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, the World War II Memorial, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
The selection was announced Wednesday.
The new memorial will be near the U.S. Botanic Garden within view of the Capitol. Its centerpiece will be a star-shaped reflecting pool with its surface broken by a single, eternal flame. Glass and granite walls will include text and images. Four bronze sculptures will help tell a story of a veteran's pride of service, trauma, challenge of healing and discovery of purpose.
Supporters held a ceremonial groundbreaking in November. They hope to dedicate the memorial in 2012.

8 a.m. ET: The NBA season has reached its halfway point, meaning that it's time for the annual extravaganza that is All-Star weekend.
The league's best will descend on Houston for the three-day festival, and while the actual All-Star Game won't tip off until Sunday, the real excitement takes place the night before.
All-Star Saturday Night will feature the same four events — the Shooting Stars competition, skills challenge, three-point contest and, of course, the slam dunk contest — that NBA fans have become accustomed to, but with a new twist thrown in this season.
This year, the participants in the four competitions will be divided by conference and awarded points for each event. At the end of the night, the conference with the most total points will be awarded a $350,000 donation to charities of its choice, while the losing conference will receive a $150,000 donation.
Utah's Jeremy Evans will be back to defend the dunk contest title he won in Orlando last season, but keep an eye o...

Great tol for the price
I am the type of person that does a good bit of research before I buy an item. Some of my fellow coworkers have this die grinder. I asked if I could use it to test it out to see if I would like the performance of it. They told me that I should just buy it because they wouldn't trade it for another. I tried it out and I was impressed. I bought one.
September 22, 2011

- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and grease and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm round cake tin with a little of the butter and baking parchment. Put the butter, 250g sugar and vanilla into a big mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy with an electric whisk.
- Beat in the eggs, one by one, then fold in the 300g flour and baking powder. Spoon out 85g of the batter, and stir the extra 7 tbsp flour and cinnamon into this with a cutlery knife so it becomes crumbly.
- Fold the rhubarb into the rest of the cake batter and scrape into the prepared tin. Scatter over the crumble mix followed by 1 tbsp sugar. Bake for 1 hr 15 mins, until a skewer poked in comes out clean – you'll need to lay a sheet of foil on top after an hour if the cake is browning too much. Cool for 15 mins in the tin, then finish on a wire rack.

I have not yet made this wonderful sounding cake but not being a lover of rhubarb I'd most likely substitute cherries, cranberries, or posibbly mango, fresh or dried, or dried appricots, dates and rasins, dried fruit soaked in a good sweet red wine, burbon, or an orange liqueur. The rest of the recipe I would follow although some chopped nuts sound good too! I love nuts in my backed goods. ;)

The ship itself seems a bit tired in some areas in spite of having been "Solsticized" not long ago. We heard that the ship is due for another remodel very soon, and it surely needs it. Part of the carpet trim near the floor in our cabin was missing and there was a layer of dust around the edges of the carpet that looked to have been there quite a while. There was black mold around the bottom of our shower, and several places where rust was clearly evident on the metal edges near doors, etc. While the crew seemed to be very helpful and friendly for the most part, the desk could have been a bit more responsive and friendly when we were asking about port options, etc. They acted a bit put upon. The concierge, on the other hand, was very helpful and understanding while still acting very friendly, even when we were complaining about the lack of port information. Our room steward seemed to be very overworked, and often gave us only one washcloth instead of two, but hurriedly came up with a second when asked. He also was quick to provide more hangars on our first day on board.
Food was fairly good for the most part, although a bit repetitive, especially in the buffet. On a couple of occasions, the food in the main dining room was outstanding, especially the fillet and the rack of lamb. Desserts all were excellent and service was impeccable. Our waiter, assistant waiter and wine steward were all tip top in every way. The brunch in the main dining room was a bit of a disappointment. We felt breakfast in the buffet was just as good, or even better in many ways.
The main pool on the ship is quite large and looked to be great for a lap swimmer like myself, but although I prefer colder water than others, it was way too cold for a swim. Was a huge disappointment for me, as swimming is my primary exercise and I was excited when I saw pictures of the pool online. The therapy pool indoors is too hot and not large enough for lap swimming.
While we enjoyed ourselves on this cruise and had a great time meeting and making new friends on board, we probably will never sail with Celebrity again, as this was our second cruise with this line, and both were a bit disappointing for one reason or another.

The Institute for Human Health and Sports Science (H2S2), housed in the Human Biomechanics and Physiology Laboratory, is the first interdisciplinary institute at High Point University. Home to all of the faculty in the Department of Physical Therapy, the Institute is also a virtual home to faculty and clinicians from multiple disciplines around the university, the state, the nation, and the globe! These experts are dedicated to injury prevention, rehabilitation, and the improved performance of active people. The combination of these experts from multiple disciplines, the physical space, and the equipment make the Institute and the Lab unlike any other.
Kind, caring, collaborative, and dedicated, the faculty of the Lab and Institue invite you to learn a little more about each of us by clicking on the "Researchers" tab below.
The Human Biomechanics and Physiology Laboratory consists of 13,500 square feet of awe-inspiring research, teaching, and clinical space. Although the area is specifically designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, a presentation of the space is simplified when thinking about components of the lab. The centerpiece of the lab is our biomechanics area. This biomechanics area consists of a large, open space surrounded by 24 motion capture cameras and featuring 3 force plates and an instrumented treadmill. In addition, the biomechanics area boasts truly unique functional motion capture areas with a golf simulator, turf, and court surface.
In addition to the biomechanics area, the physiology component of the lab is equally impressive. The physiology space is highlighted by the environmental chamber which allows researchers to reproduce extreme conditions in temperature (above 100 degrees F and below freezing), humidity (up to 95%), and elevation (up to 15,000 ft above sea level). Physiology also has a wet lab, some of the most unique treadmills in the world, metabolic carts, a wireless EMG for tracking muscle activity, and a DEXA scanner, the most accurate way to perform body fat analysis.
Last but never least, the clinical component provides clients of Targeted Enhanced Athletic Movement (TEAM) and H2S2 research subjects with access to private and semi-private treatment areas and a strength and conditioning area that concentrates on fun and unique ways to prevent injury, improve performance, or rehabilitate from injury.
The term "state-of-the-art" does not quite do our equipment justice. here is a brief list of some of the equipment available to faculty, students, and collaborators of H2S2:

Airy blooms on wispy, graceful stems cover white gaura (Gaura lindheimeri) all season. Its 1-inch flowers open white and bloom up the stem like gladiolus, gradually blushing with soft pink. A native to Louisiana, Texas, and Mexico, it survives hot weather and periods of drought because of its long tap root, which finds water deep in the soil.
Plant Facts Common name: White gaura Botanical name: Gaura lindheimeri Plant type: Perennial Height: 5 feet tall Zones: 6 to 9 (5 with winter protection) Family: Onagraceae (fuchsia family) Growing conditions

"slept" in them once or twice. of course that was about 15 years ago Damn, forgot how old i am.

Don't know if this is true or not as this was 20 years ago when my grandparents were still alive and lived in Auburn, they always said that small towns like Breda & Auburn that are less than 15 minutes away from Carroll wouldn't die up and go away because the property taxes in Carroll were sky high.

I lived in Carroll for a summer, but renting from a friend of a friend. Nice town. Typical Western Iowa "values" (politically conservative, hard working farming community, etc.) I know there are Hawk fans there, but it really seemed like one of the few places outside of Ames that is a big ISU community.
Went out with a chick from Carroll in college. She was easy on the eyes.

Carroll is a nice town. Lived in Carroll County all my life. Has a large Pella plant, home of Farner Bocken and American Home Shield. More ISU fans than Iowa or Nebraska. Great golf courses and bike paths. I don't think you will be sorry.
Lived in Carroll County growing up: Great schools, 1 public, 1 private 2 Golf courses Smallish lake just outside of town, and bike trail to Lake View Nice rec center and a new outdoor water complex Good downtown for a small town Home values stay very stead, not a whole lot of unemployment in the area I always thought the town could use another 1 or 2 local restaurants. Tons, and I mean tons of fast food.
They have a decent sports bar that has been there a long time called Bloomers. It is just down the street from the gentlemen's club. My wife has also ate at the Winery/Restaurant(Santa Maria-?) in town and said it was pretty good. Like some have already mentioned they seem to have more fast food options than a typical town of 10K. Arby's, Culvers, Taco John's vs your typical McDonalds and Burger King. Nice little town.
Carroll is a really great town. I grew up about 45 minutes northwest of Carroll. My B.I.L. lived in an apartment at the corner of North Carroll Street and West 8th Street. I don't know the name of the apartment it was brand new about 8-10 years ago when he lived there. Nice and quiet- if i remember right there are 4 apartments on the upper level and 4 on the lower level. Unless something has changed I would check the place out for sure. Apartment is pretty much located in the middle of town. Down the street to the west about 4 blocks is Hunan Chinese- really, really good chinese food.
Since Lois Feldman and Ozzy's have been covered, I'll just add you should get a **** Adam Haluska t shirt. I grew up near Carroll. It's a nice town if you are a small town type. If you are a big city guy you'll probably hate it. I turned down an offer at Pella in Carroll out of college.
It's "Ossy's Show Club" by the way.
I live in Carroll currently... it is funny to see some of the responses from people who have just passed through here once. There isn't a whole heck of a lot to do for entertainment, but at your age if you want to go out and get hammered just go back to ames (hr away) or des moines (1.5 hrs away) and stay with friends for the weekend. Carroll isn't close to anything but we also aren't far from anything. So in that way it makes Carroll pretty unique. All in all you are going to be in a good and safe community. Good luck with the job!

Thanksgiving weekend wrapped up the SEC college football regular season. Dawg Sports assesses the results in this week's SEC Power Poll.
The Macon Telegraph's Georgia Bulldogs beat reporter, David Hale, asked fans of the Red and Black whether they still had faith in Mark Richt as a head football coach. Here is the reply from Dawg Sports.
Mark Richt is a good man who had to make a tough choice in deciding to fire Willie Martinez, Jon Fabris, and John Jancek. Coach Richt's call was the right one for the Georgia Bulldogs and Dawg Sports outlines what he needs to look for in a new defensive coordinator.

JULIAN, W.Va. -- An elderly woman from Bluefield was found in Boone County on Saturday night after she had been reported missing.
Ruth W. Harvey, 82, was found near a creek, about 150 yards away from her vehicle on a rural road in Julian, according to the West Virginia State Police.
Police were told shortly before 7 p.m. about an abandoned vehicle on a rural side road in Julian. After learning the vehicle was registered to Harvey, police searched the area for the missing woman.
Officers found a shoe that Harvey had apparently lost on a path in the woods while she had been wandering around. Officers followed the path until they found Harvey by the creek around 9:50 p.m., said State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous.
Harvey was not injured, but was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center's General Hospital for an evaluation.
State Police were unclear when Harvey was reported missing.

Comments about Pittsburgh 16 oz. Claw Hammer with Fiberglass Handle:
I purchased this hammer two years ago to upgrade my existing hammers. I used it to build 2 chicken coops and since then a host of other projects.She is still in my stable going on 2-1/2 years. I was concerned about the fiberglass handle, but she has held up quite nicely.I have since added 4 other HF hammers to my stable.Very pleased.

Great Buy
By Joe
from CT
I use a 16oz hammer for most of my projects and repairs @ home. I picked this up at the store and loved the feel of it. When I tried it, that was it. Its comfortable and has less shock than my old wooden one. Great sale price too. I am going to pick up a 27 oz for stripping forms at work to replace my wooden one. Love the feel.
Good Buy
By Pecos Bill
from Wolcott , Ct.
Although I have several 16 oz . hammers , I think that this is one that I'll be reaching for the most ! Handle design is comfortable to hold , lightweight but seems strong . Should hold up well for it's intended use .
High Quality - Low Price

Great hammer
By Q

This is my hammer of choice now as it works great. I had a contractor helping me with a few things and he used this hammer and commented on it several times and was shocked for the price I got it and how well it works.

Must Have
By Dan
from Chicagoland
This hammer has been by my side time and time again around the house. It is well balanced, comfortable and a good weight for light to mid duty projects, I even did some demo with mine and routinely use it to drive a chisel and pry bar and it is holding up perfectly fine. I am so impressed with this hammer that eventually I am going to trade up to the pro series as my only beef is that the claw on the back is a little wide and I find it difficult sometimes to pull nails and it looks like the pro series hammers are tighter. Either way though for the money this is a must have. Thanks HF!

Nice for the price
By John L.
from Undisclosed
I have to agee with David R.-the new handle design on #47872 is great. It fits comfortably in the hand, unlike the older yellow version of this hammer. I don't think you can find a better hammer

I like the TextMate that can select a line to move it with a simple keystroke.
Command-shift L (select a line) Control-Command Arrow(up and down) (move the selected line)
How can I do the same thing with emacs?
SO user, Sanityinc developed See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2423834/move-line-region-up-and-down-in-emacs/2426347#2426347 It does this task very nicely... M-Up or M-Down to move the current line (or marked region's whole lines.) I've added it to http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MoveText Edit the bindings at the bottom to suit your preference. |
bbatsov's prelude (a kind of Emacs starter kit) includes this functionality (see this section of code):
and binds it to M-S-up and M-S-down. |
The standard command C-x C-t is bound to The most obvious is that exchanges the line the point is in with the previous line. With an argument of 0 (i.e. M-0 C-x C-t), it swaps the line that has the mark in it with the line that has the point in it. |
move-line does that, except for the highlighting, which should be reasonably easy to add. |
I just delete the line, then yank it back in the new location. C-a C-k C-k (move to new location) C-y |

Tuesday's brief adds to the three that were filed [JURIST report] last week, including one filed by the Obama administration arguing that DOMA is unconstitutional and one filed by the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (DOMA) defending the law's constitutionality. After the Obama administration announced [JURIST report] in 2011 that it would no longer defend DOMA's constitutionality in court, Republicans in the US House of Representatives formed [JURIST report] the BLAG to take up the mantle of defending the law. DOMA was struck down [JURIST report] by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official websites], prompting the petition [text, PDF] to the US Supreme Court. This term, the US Supreme Court will also be ruling on the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 [JURIST news archive], which banned same-sex marriage [JURIST backgrounder] throughout the state.
Tuesday's decision by The Hague District Court affirms a decision made by the Rotterdam District Court in October 2011 approving the extradition. A federal indictment [AP report] against Khan was issued by US Attorney Loretta Lynch of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York [official website] in June 2011, shortly after he was originally extradited from Pakistan to the Netherlands. In addition to the alleged plotting of the suicide attack in Afghanistan, Khan was arrested in Pakistan for possessing "destructive material and for allegedly aiding al Qaeda between 2004 and 2010.
Earlier this month Gbagbo appeared before [JURIST report] the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] to determine whether the case against him, including charges of numerous crimes against humanity, will proceed to trial. In December the ICC Appeals Chamber [official website] dismissed a challenge by Gbagbo [JURIST report] alleging that the court lacks jurisdiction over him. A month earlier the ICC had unsealed an indictment [JURIST report] for Gbagbo's wife, Simone, marking the first time that the court has brought charges against a female. That same month Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] released a report stating that Ivory Coast's military committed widespread human rights abuses [JURIST report] in August and September. The ICC in October also denied Gbagbo's motion asking the court for allowance to leave the Netherlands while he recovered from alleged maltreatment received while detained by national authorities in the Ivory Coast before being surrendered to the ICC almost a year earlier [JURIST reports].
Sixteen Hungarian churches called for the law to be repealed [JURIST report] in August 2011. Freedom House [advocacy website] sent a letter [text] to the Human Rights Commissioners of the European Commission and the Council of Europe [official websites] asking the international authorities to initiate action against Hungary, claiming the law violates Article 10 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights [texts]. Freedom House also said the law is inconsistent with Hungary's constitution [press release] and condemned Hungary for passing the law.
In January the Honduran National Congress [official website, in Spanish] approved controversial amendments to the police law [JURIST report] designed to eliminate corruption. Approval came after the congress voted to dismiss four justices [JURIST report] of the country's Supreme Court [official websites, in Spanish] a week earlier, after the justices ruled that the police reform bill supported by President Porfirio Lobo [NYT profile] was unconstitutional. Tension between the three branches of government in Honduras has risen recently, and Lobo has expressed concern that he may be forced out of office like his predecessor, who was removed during the 2009 military coup [JURIST report]. In June 2011 the Honduran Truth and Reconciliation Commission declared that the coup was unconstitutional [JURIST report] but stated that former president Manuel Zelaya was culpable when he ignored orders of the Supreme Court. Zelaya signed an agreement [JURIST report] in May 2011 allowing his return to the country after nearly two years in exile.
The human rights violations that plagued Sri Lanka during its nearly three-decade-long civil war have reportedly continued since the war's end in 2009. Almost a year ago, Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] reported unlawful detentions [JURIST report], torture and extrajudicial executions, often under laws designed to combat terrorism. Months earlier, AI accused [JURIST report] Sri Lankan leadership of failing to investigate the issues of torture and impunity for past human rights violations in the country. Citing the Asian Human Rights Commission [advocacy website], AI reported approximately 323 cases of torture by the Sri Lankan police force from 1998 to 2011. These reports came on the heels of a five-year government initiative [JURIST report] known as the National Action Plan for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights, which took effect immediately after its adoption in October 2011.
The Cooper-Harris lawsuit was brought [JURIST report] in February of last year. A similar suit was appealed [JURIST report] to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims [official website] in October 2011 year by a disabled Navy veteran contesting the VA's refusal to allow her same-sex partner to collect a portion of her disability benefits. The veteran, Carmen Cardona, filed the suit after her claim for veterans' spousal benefits was denied under DOMA on the basis that she was in a same-sex marriage. The outcome of these cases is uncertain after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] announced in February of last year that it would no longer defend the constitutionality [JURIST report] of DOMA in court cases challenging the provision. A challenge to DOMA is currently pending [JURIST report] before the US Supreme Court [official website].
In Kansas v. Cheever [cert. petition, PDF; docket] the court will consider whether it violates the Fifth Amendment [text] right against self-incrimination if a defendant offers expert testimony to show he/she lacked a requisite mental state at the time of the crime due to drug use and the prosecution offers the court-ordered mental evaluation of the defendant to rebut the testimony.
The court also denied Calhoun v. United States [cert. petition, PDF; docket], with Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer releasing a comment [text, PDF] with respect to the denial of certiorari. The case concerned the constitutionality of racially-tinged remarks by the prosecution at the trial level, including the prosecutor asking Bongani Calhoun, "You've got African-Americans, you've got Hispanics, you've got a bag full of money. Does that tell you—a light bulb doesn't go off in your head and say, This is a drug deal?" Further, in his rebuttal to the defense's closing, the prosecutor argued: "Okay, you got African-American[s] and Hispanics, do you think it's a drug deal? But there's one element that's missing. The money. So what are they doing in this room with a bag full of money? What does your common sense tell you that these people are doing in a hotel room with a bag full of money, cash? None of these people are Bill Gates or computer [magnates]? None of them are real estate investors." Sotomayor wrote separately condemning the remarks:
By suggesting that race should play a role in establishing a defendant's criminal intent, the prosecutor here tapped a deep and sorry vein of racial prejudice that has run through the history of criminal justice in our Nation. There was a time when appeals to race were not uncommon, when a prosecutor might direct a jury to "consider the fact that Mary Sue Rowe is a young white woman and that this defendant is a black man for the purpose of determining his intent at the time he entered Mrs. Rowe's home," ... or assure a jury that "I am well enough acquainted with this class of niggers to know that they have got it in for the [white] race in their heart," ... The prosecutor's comment here was surely less extreme. But it too was pernicious in its attempt to substitute racial stereotype for evidence, and racial prejudice for reason.
First, with respect to the timing issue, the Court had applied the miscarriage-of-justice exception to abusive petitions, so there is a timing concern invoked there because you're filing a second petition when you could have raised issues earlier, and the Court has said even in that timing context, not a statute of limitations, but it certainly invokes timing concerns, that even in that instance the miscarriage of justice would still overcome the rule.
The court also heard arguments in Trevino v. Thaler [transcript, PDF] on a defense lawyer not putting forward mitigating factors in defense of his client analyzed under last term's decision in Martinez v. Ryan [JURIST report]. In particular, the court considered if a plaintiff can bring up ineffective counsel at the appellate level, although the plaintiff might not have brought it up before due to the alleged ineffective counsel. The attorney for Carlos Trevino argued that the time limits imposed on the new attorney in a habeas claim in Texas make the claims impracticable:
But the bottom line in our situation in Texas is that we have a scheme. We have a set of laws and rules that channel these type of claims. ... [T]he Rules of Appellate Procedure 21.8 talk about the limitations of—the number of days that you have to expand the record in a motion for new trial. 75 days, the district court loses jurisdiction, they cannot hear anything else on this case. The record in this case wasn't even available for 7 months after the date of the trial. So even with a new attorney that's appointed—first of all, that new attorney is a stranger to the case. He doesn't know anything about the case. He's not in a position to talk to the client. The client is not the best person to understand the Rules of Appellate Procedure. So he's got to wait on that trial record, first of all, to see what's there.

From Outlaws to Crooked Trees and Prairie Lighthouses
April 3, 2012 by Guest Blogger · 3 Comments
Spend a half-day or day touring the grave of a notorious outlaw, negotiating a twisted forest or visiting a prairie lighthouse. These are just some of the things to do in and around the City of North Battleford and Town of Battleford in Saskatchewan.
• Battle River Settlement Foundation Walking Tour
In the old town of Battleford, a scenic walking tour takes in Fort Battleford National Historic Site, Indian mass grave (1885), Battle Springs, Colonel Otter Park (1885), Telegraph Flats, Government Ridge and a number of other buildings and structures dating back to 1885 and earlier. (6 hours)
• Historic Homes/Buildings Walking Tour
The City of North Battleford walking tour has 92 homes, public and private buildings portraying the city's railway beginnings in the 1900′s. Visit the tombstone of one of the most notorious outlaws in the West. Sam Kelly was the leader of the Nelson Jones gang, known for rustling livestock, bank and train robberies. (4.5 hours)
• Finlayson Island
Finlayson Island is located on the North Saskatchewan River between the arched bridges connecting North Battleford with Battleford. Finlayson Island has a variety of nature trails and is a great place to hike, ski or picnic. The wide variety of flora and fauna along with wildlife make it a unique recreational opportunity for all to enjoy. (2.5 hours)

Redberry Lake is a World Biosphere Reserve where 200 bird species are found including the rare American White Pelican. (3.5 hours)
