CATEGORIES Fandom, Scripts, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalI first read Francesca Lia Block's book Weetzie Bat as a teen, and it immediately shot to the top of my list of Favorite Books Ever. Even now, I give the omnibus of Weetzie Bat stories, Dangerous Angels, to friends as gifts.
Weetzie Bat is a young girl living in Los Angeles who hates high school because, of course, no one understands. But what they don't understand is the magic around them. She wears cowboy boots and feathered headdresses and sometimes roller skates, and her best friend is a handsome guy with a Mohawk named Dirk. When he comes out to her, she just says that it's cool because now they can go looking for their true loves together; that's just how Weetzie rolls. Weetzie builds her own family of friends and lovers throughout Block's books, and while the stories don't shy away from the dark side of life at all -- AIDs, cheating, and implied assault all make an appearance in Weetzie Bat -- they were and are an inspiration to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. Weetzie's world is punk rock magical realism in a Caddy with fins.
And there's a screenplay for it.
On August 8th at Book Soup in Los Angeles, a cast will be reading through Francesca Lia Block's screenplay Weetzie Bat directed by Brian Gaskill. The cast includes tween starlet Chelsea Staub (Jonas) as Weetzie, Aaron Ashmore (Smallville) as her boyfriend My Secret Agent Lover Man, Brant Daugherty (Pretty Little Liars) as Dirk, E.G. Daily (Dottie from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Valley Girl, The Devil's Rejects, Happy Feet 2) as Dirk's Grandma Fifi, Jason Seitz (Elephant) as Buzz Cut and Bam Bam, Crystal Mantecon (Terrence Malick's Tree of Life) as Vixanne, a witch obsessed with Jayne Mansfield, and Corbin Bernsen as Weetzie's dad, Charlie Bat.
After the jump is an exclusive quote from Francesca Lia Block about her screenplay.
I have been working on getting a movie of Weetzie made for literally 24 years, longer than some of the actors in the reading cast have been on this planet. I reworked the script literally hundreds and hundreds of times. The book was optioned a few times by great people but nothing came of it. Finally I got sick of waiting because in Hollywood you can wait around forever, which is what happened to my grandmother who was a screenwriter in the 1940's and my dad who wrote and did special effects in the 50's. (He wrote the original story and did special effects for Forbidden Planet.)
Hoping to avoid the frustration of their fate, I workshopped the screenplay at UCLA online Extension with Beverly Gray and fine-tuned it with her help and the help of the students in that class. Then I talked to Brian Gaskill, a wonderful actor and video director I have known for ten years. He had once approached me about making a movie but it wasn't the time. He is also a character in Necklace of Kisses, a Weetzie Bat sequel (the actor who plays an angel -- he really did play one on TV!) We decided to go ahead and just "get the barn" so to speak. Brian suggested Book Soup as the "barn." Pretty nice barn, huh? I've learned that if you get a bunch of no's there is usually a reason but the same applies to a bunch of yes's and Book Soup said yes, right away; then in just weeks Brian and I, with the help of fantastic friends, casting agents, managers and acting teachers etc. (Mara Casey, Vicki Baumann, Randy James, Margot Menzel, Elissa Leeds and I have to mention Brian again because he knows many of these actors personally) assembled an amazing cast. Yes, yes, yes. The whole thing took on a life of its own, like magic, like Weetzie magic. We want to do this to express our creativity, reach the Weetzie fans, draw attention from producers and to have some fun, to create some light because the world has been looking pretty dark to me lately. But this experience is already restoring my hope.
Believe me, if I could hop on a plane to Los Angeles to check this out, I would! So if you're in the area, report back and let me know how it goes. That includes you, producers and financiers.

Excessive force is sometimes an issue even if you're not moving your fingers. Holding them rigidly in anticipation of the next tap when you're taking notes on a tablet or zapping enemies in a game on your smartphone requires so-called isometric tension, which puts stress on muscles and tendons. To appreciate the effect, let your arm hang loosely at your side, with your fingers curved naturally. Now, force your finger to maintain the same position by tightening your muscles and joints. Feel the difference? As with larger muscles, the more relaxed you are, the better.
Avoiding eyestrain when using mobile devices. It seems intuitive that the more your eyes have to work to see what's on your touchscreen device, the more likely they'll suffer -- just like reading a book in dim light for hours can lead to headaches, eye pain, and other conditions. Although the physical mechanisms behind many of these conditions are surprisingly obscure, the symptoms are no less real.
In broad terms, the risk of eyestrain and similar problems from tablets and smartphones is directly related to three inherent attributes of the display: resolution (the sharpness of the image), contrast (how bright or dark characters and images are compared to the background), and brightness (how much light the display emits). Since the days of dim, low-resolution screens in early PDAs, technology has made substantial strides in all three areas, and sharp, bright displays like the one in Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are thankfully commonplace nowadays.
But newer high-resolution screens pose problems of their own. Because they pack more pixels per square inch, they're capable of displaying ever-smaller fonts. Like the fine print on paper documents, tiny characters can be difficult to read and cause eyestrain, even if you adjust the brightness to a level that's comfortably balanced with the ambient lighting. Smartphones with touchscreens that support multitouch zooming usually let you selectively magnify text that's too small, though that gets tiresome when you're viewing a page on a handheld. Glasses tailored for reading tablet displays may help, especially if your vision has declined because of age (just as many people benefit from wearing "computer glasses" whose prescriptions are tweaked for sustained computer usage).
Environmental factors also play a role in aggravating some visual complaints. Unlike desktop workspaces, where it's usually not too difficult to find a monitor position that avoids glare from lights, mobile devices are often used in situations where the surroundings are constantly changing. As with laptops, the best you can do is to be aware of what's around you and avoid reflections. And because dryness contributes to some symptoms, avoid arid settings or ask an eye care professional to recommend lubricating drops.
Where we stand, where we're going
Health problems from laptops and mobile devices are probably underreported, in part because people don't know about the risks and may attribute symptoms to other causes. In the 1990s, heightened alertness to computer-related disorders led to a flood of complaints and spawned an industry devoted to helping suffering desktop computer users.
Although it's unlikely that we'll see a similar response to health problems caused by mobile devices, vendors are working on solutions like onscreen keyboards with tactile feedback. Eventually, we may even see smarter devices that alert us when we're using them unsafely. Until then, it pays to be aware of the hazards and take sensible precautions.

The two most common types of fillings are Amalgam (silver) and composite (tooth colored). How can you decide which one is best for you? Knowing the pros and cons of each can help you make a comfortable decision.
- Because of the metal content, amalgam fillings are very strong and can withstand heavy biting pressure, therefore, used primarily for the back teeth.
- Amalgam filling material is relatively inexpensive.
- Most insurance companies cover amalgam fillings.
- Amalgam filling material contains mercury and other metals. While there have been no conclusive studies relating the mercury in amalgam to any dangers, mercury by itself is very toxic.
- Some people experience a period of hot and cold sensitivity after having an amalgam filling.
- Amalgam fillings do not harden immediately, therefore, it is not good to chew on that specific tooth for a couple of hours after the filling is placed.
- More tooth structure is lost because the dentist has to make a bigger preparation.
- Not all dentists do amalgam fillings anymore.
I prefer the composite fillings for the simple reasons that they look great, and the dentist can save a lot of my tooth structure, which means less drilling! With attributes to both amalgam and composite fillings, the pros and cons can help you decide what type of filling is best for you.

Lisa Lynn, Fitness, answeredFitness expert Lisa Lynn explains what raspberry ketones are and why they are a good addition to your diet. Watch Lisa Lynn's video for important tips and information about fitness, diet and weight loss.Helpful? 2 people found this helpful.
Raspberry ketone is a compound that is found in red raspberry fruits. It is responsible for the fruity aroma of raspberries, and it is often used as a fragrance and flavoring agent for cosmetics, perfumes, foods, and beverages. Although it is mostly found in raspberries, raspberry ketone has also been found in kiwifruit.
Natural raspberry ketone is one of the most expensive yet popular flavoring agents in the food industry. However, because finding raspberry ketone in its natural form may be difficult, its synthetic preparation has been explored.
There is some scientific evidence that suggests that raspberry ketone may improve the skin, promote hair growth and weight loss, and treat obesity. However, more research is needed to confirm the effects of raspberry ketone for any health-related purposes.
You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

There's a lot going on this weekend if you are north of the state line.
Saint Joe Michigan is celebrating labor day weekend with a number of events. A car show and horse drawn trolley rides start the weekend.
For the kids there is a free movie night Saturday at Centennial Park. And the Saint Joe River Yacht Club is opening their doors to the public as well.
Organizers say its still summer. "It's not over, its just getting started, we are actually a year round town, we have year round events and there is a lot more coming this fall, this winter, and next spring," says Jill Stone of Saint Joe Today.
There is also a free concert in downtown Friday featuring classic rock from the 60's. On Sunday the Farmers Market will be open and it may be one of your last times of the year to enjoy some of the fresh produce.
There is a also a Craft Fair taking place Sunday from Lake Bluff Park.

- "I had no choice, I had to do it. I just see the opportunity. When I'm gone, everyone's gonna remember my name! Big Smoke!"
- ― Big Smoke
Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and the secondary antagonist of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas alongside with Frank Tenpenny.
Big Smoke was voiced by Clifton Powell, who has also appeared in Menace II Society, Next Friday, and Friday After Next.
Big Smoke appeared as a high-ranking member of the Grove Street Families who later joined forces with the Ballas, Los Santos Vagos and Russian Mafia, becoming the biggest criminal in the underworld of Los Santos.
Big Smoke makes multiple references to his desire to be remembered following his death.
Big Smoke seemingly understands some Spanish, as in the mission Running Dog, one of the Vagos says "Chinga a tu madre, pendejo" which roughly translates into "Fuck your mother, dickhead". It is possible that Smoke understood this, given that he subsequently attacked the Vago. (Though the tone the Vago took made the general intent clear enough that this may not have been necessary.) Big Smoke's favorite radio station is Bounce FM.
Interestingly, Big Smoke's initials are "BS", an abbreviation of "bullshit", which could be a reference to his deception and betrayal of Grove Street Families.
Early lifeEdit
Big Smoke was born in Los Santos, likely in Ganton due to his close relationship with Sweet and Carl Johnson, and he later became a member of the Grove Street Families. He rose through the ranks of the gang until becoming the right hand man of Sweet, being helped by the departure of Carl in 1987 after his brother's death.
Big Smoke quotes the Bible on many occasions, hinting that he may be religious. But however, Carl claims he's "still talking shit."
Joining the BallasEdit
Smoke also, at one point, lived in Ganton, which may have been from birth, but moved to Idlewood some time prior to 1992, purchasing a house with his aunt's money from a will. The Grove Street Families, however, began to lose influence and status among the city gangs, noticing that the Ballas, who control Idlewood, are selling drugs to fuel their rising influence. He then tries to persuade Sweet to allow the Grove Street Families to sell more potent drugs (since the Families already sell marijuana and PCP), although Sweet refuses due to crack cocaine's destructive influence on the areas they are sold in.
At some point Big Smoke forms an alliance with the Ballas and begins to secretly work with them. Smoke later includes the Los Santos Vagos and the Russian Mafia, who were hoping to get a foothold in Los Santos, into his new alliance. They also form an alliance with the Loco Syndicate who began supplying them with various drugs from their base in San Fierro, although he doesn't realize that an undercover government agent is involved in the operation.
Events of GTA San AndreasEdit
Carl's ReturnEdit
- "CJ? Ooohh my dog! Whassup? Hahaha! Hey baby, you okay, man?"
- ―Big Smoke
In 1992, after failing to convince Sweet, he goes to Ryder and convinces him to join forces with the Ballas, who later attempts to kill Sweet but fails, instead killing his mother. The death of Beverly Johnson leads to her son, Carl, returning from Liberty City, and Carl meets Smoke inside his old house. Smoke initially fails to recognize Carl but immediately accepts the return of an old friend, contrary to Sweet, who remains initially hostile. It is not until later in the game that his true intentions with the Ballas-C.R.A.S.H. unit are revealed, but several times before his revealed betrayal do many hints appear foreshadowing it.
Smoke appears alongside Carl, Sweet, and Ryder in the first mission in the game, and also later appears at the funeral of several GSF members. However, during the mission, the attackers will only attack Carl and Sweet, hinting Smoke's future betrayal. He also appears playing basketball with Sweet in Tagging up Turf, and also briefly appears in Cleaning the Hood at Sweet's house. In the mission Drive-Thru, Sweet, CJ, Smoke and Ryder decide to visit Cluckin' Bell to eat; however, they are attacked by Ballas members whilst there. Smoke's refusal to open fire on the Ballas (claiming that he would only shoot when he was done eating) was another large hint to his betrayal. After appearing in the introductory scene of Nines and AKs, Smoke later helped the gang in the mission Drive-By. After this, Smoke gives his own missions to Carl; the first is to free an old friend (OG Loc) from prison. The next is to help Smoke eliminate a Vagos member. In the mission Wrong Side of the Tracks, before Smoke and CJ work to kill more Vagos, Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski are seen in Smoke's house; however, Smoke's comment that they are simply "nosey" hints that he is not-so-hostile towards them. CJ would then later assist Smoke in taking down Russian Mafia members in the mission Just Business, and Smoke would later assist CJ, Ryder and Sweet in the mission Reuniting the Families.
- "Shit, Smoke...C.R.A.S.H. makin' you sell us out!"
- ―Carl Johnson
The mission The Green Sabre is ultimately the turning point in both the game and in Big Smoke and Ryder's characters; in it, Sweet explains to CJ that they are going to go take down a large amount of Ballas and to meet at the Mulholland Intersection; as soon as CJ leaves, CJ's friend (and his sister's boyfriend) Cesar Vialpando tells him he must urgently meet him at an alleyway. At the ally, CJ is shocked to see Big Smoke and Ryder—along with Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski and some Ballas members working together. Also, the green Sabre—the same one that was used to murder Beverly. CJ arrives to the intersection to save his brother. Although Sweet survives, he ends up injured through gunfire and stuck in a prison hospital.
Rise to powerEdit
- ―Smoke, before the final showdown
Carl then begins to work for Jizzy B., attempting to gather more information on the operation, and later gains his trust. Carl, however, later kills Jizzy, San Fierro Rifa leader T-Bone Mendez and undercover agent Mike Toreno (or so he thought) as well as Ryder, before destroying their drug manufacturing factory, stopping the supply back to Los Santos. Smoke, however, is undetered and instead starts his manufacturing plant in East Los Santos. He also begins working as the manager of OG Loc, a rapper and childhood friend of both Smoke and Carl, who helped him by sabotaging the career of Madd Dogg. He also attempts to show himself as a philanthropist when telling West Coast Talk Radio (which can be heard on the radio anytime after the mission Pier 69) that he is using his money to try and stop the sale of drugs in Los Santos, despite being the drug baron of the city.
Big Smoke, like Ryder, continues to wear green clothing after his betrayal of the Grove Street Families becomes common knowledge. This is because Big Smoke and Ryder only have one coded outfit.
- "I had no choice, I had to do it. I just see the opportunity. When I'm gone, everyone's gonna remember my name...BIG SMOKE!"
- ―Big Smoke's dying words
In the meantime Carl is re-united with Toreno, who used a decoy on his scheduled departing flight, and begins working for him attacking those harming American interests. As a reward, Toreno gets Sweet parolled from prison and the two return home, taking Ganton back for the Grove Street Families, who once again ally themselves with the formerly absent leaders. By this time, however, Smoke had become a recluse and extremely paranoid, hiding away in his drug manufacturing plant. Sweet and Carl continue their attack on the Ballas, re-taking both Glen Park (in Beat Down on B Dup) and Idlewood (in Grove 4 Life).
The Johnson brothers then decide to take down Big Smoke and his operation, using a SWAT Tank to break into his drug manufacturing plant. Carl then proceeds to shoot his way past the many Ballas, Los Santos Vagos and Russian Mafia gangsters in the factory until reaching the top floor, where he finds Big Smoke. The two become involved in a gun fight, which is won by Carl, who manages to talk to Smoke about his betrayal before his death. Smoke, showing remorse for his actions, tells Carl that he got caught up in the money and power he was able to obtain. He reminds Carl that when he is dead people will remember his name before dying from the gunshot wounds inflicted by Carl. Carl shows remorse for Smoke but is interrupted by Tenpenny, who he later chases before he drives a fire truck off a bridge into Grove Street and dies.
Big Smoke is shown to have two large bullet holes in his armour following the shoot-out during End of the Line, regardless of how he is killed. It is even possible to kill him in a single punch if the "Super Punch" cheat is turned on, and the bullet holes will still show up on his armour.
- Big Smoke drives a blue Glendale, with a white roof, which has the license plate A2TMFK. Opinions on the meaning of this are varied: Some believe it to be an acronym for 'a two-timing motherfucker', in reference to his betraying the Grove Street Families, some believe it to be an acronym for 'a two-ton motherfucker', in reference to his weight, and some believe it to be a reference to the Cypress Hill song 'A to the motherfucking K', which was released in 1993 (a year after GTA San Andreas).
Big Smoke also had a black Perennial, which was blown up by the Ballas in the mission Sweet & Kendl.
The beta version of Big Smoke is shown wearing a white Los Santos Saints jersey and black trousers, with Smoke having a bald head, which can be seen on the statute of Smoke in the drug manufacturing factory in East Los Santos. Or on the back of the PS2 case (Top, Middle) and also Sweet, and possibly Brian.

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AP) - Officials at Robins Air Force Base have distributed about 9,000 power strips to cut down on energy use.
The strips allow employees to plug in multiple devices - like computers, lamps, and printers - in one place and turn them all off by flipping a single switch.
Base energy manager Dave Bury says the strips are 1 of the biggest opportunities to save on energy costs, and officials say the strips could help the base save up to $50,000 annually.

You will help people gain optimal balance and harmony in their life with your holistic life coaching practice!
Holistic simply means "holism" or being "whole". You can think of it as enhancing personal development from a multi-directional approach. In a holistic perspective, we view the person as a complete being, rather than an individual who may have an unresolved challenge. When we view ALL possible contributions to the current state, a better and more comprehensive resolution is created.
As a holistic person, you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate - Dr. Wayne Dyer
Living successfully is living harmoniously and fully balanced. Holistic life coaching is strategically developed to unblock your client's emotional pathways, liberate his or her body, mind, and spirit. Holistic life coaching discovers your client's personal path to holistic wellness, and boost brain power, as well as achievement of lasting results.
As a Holistic Life Coach, you will work with clients on two primary levels.
"Primary" because of the endless options for coaching your clients on success in life from a holistic perspective.
On the BODY, or physical level, you will be working with what is happening with your client's physical experience. You will coach your clients to create environments and action plans that support their physical goals and desires for a healthy and thriving body.
On the MIND or mental level, you will work with your clients to uncover the underlying limiting beliefs and patterns that cause physical manifestations such as a headache or other signs of stress. You will coach your clients to create and incorporate new thoughts, beliefs and actions that are aligned with their values, goals and desires.
As the name implies, as a Certified Holistic Life Coach, you will work with clients on a variety of levels. People are experiencing life on a multitude of levels and often become out of balance in one area or another. These imbalances can lead to serious challenges in one's life, as well as in their relationships with others. This can ultimately lead a person into major obstacles in pursuit of their personal and professional goals.
Topics covered in your Holistic Life Coaching Course:
- The meaning of holism
- Why clients are looking for alternative health solutions
- The history and growth of the holistic coaching movement
- Coaching definitions – traits of a good coach– what is required to be a successful CHLC
- The benefits of coaching over therapeutic models
- Nurturing spirituality
- Balancing mind, body and spirit
- Coach code of ethics
- Coach suggestions – recognizing divine energy, personal power and will
- Understanding clients to coach them better
- Meditation
- Reflexology Touch
- The art of movement and the use of Bodyways
- Ayurvedic principles and toxicity in foods
- Naturopathy
- Osteopathic approaches
- Physical dimensions – sleep, Central Nervous System
- Herbs for cleansing, immune response and preventative health
- Summary of how coaches apply coaching in business
- Summary of the Holistic Coaching Movement
Holistic life coaching is a greatly untapped, yet soon to be enormous market for health, fitness and coaching professionals.
If you are a nutritionist, you can help your client eat better, but this does not address other concerns about the need to change behaviors, or to be more physically active. A personal fitness trainer's primarily focus is on the physical aspects of health and holism.
As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, you will assess all the dimensions of holism within your client, and then guide and coach. With this credential, you will fully understand various dimensions of holism, and step-by-step coaching applications.
This course is based on what great coaches do each day, and how these skills will apply to holistic life coaching.
You will learn to coach and teach awareness of body, mind and spirit. This means that you (the coach) has to understand a great deal about the client and what options are available, and best suited, to help a client live a more holistic lifestyle. As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, you will also learn how to assess attitudes and values from your clients. This gives you the needed information to create a balanced and appropriate plan of action for maximizing a holistic lifestyle.
Thousands of people are waiting for you to help them live a healthy holistic lifestyles. Start your holistic life coaching career right now!

Once a thief has key pieces of your personal identifying information, they can use it to accomplish any number of things. But what we've discovered is that these criminals, more often than not, are using your information simply for monetary gain.
"There's not a week that goes by that you don't see emails that seem to come from a customer, that you know is not from that customer but looks like it's coming from their email," said Susan Barrett Senior Vice President of the Little Bank. "It's just an attempt to try and get their confidential information"
A social security number is the Holy Grail...the skeleton key if you will...it opens up everything for an id thief. But if it's just quick cash they're after, all it takes is a debit or credit number.
"We've become asleep at the wheel, if you might. We so used to using technology, we're comfortable with it," said Barrett. "We're more comfortable with people who may be calling us on the phone looking for information. We don't ask or think why are they calling me? Why are they asking for this information? Should they be calling me?"
Long gone are days when vaults like this one were your only source of security for both your money and information at your local bank. With the advent of the internet and all the online transactions that take place each and every day, banks have had to adapt to better protect you and your money
Barrett also said, "As much as customers do not like it, passwords and having strong password security is one of the biggest things that can help protect you."
She added that, "We also have what's called multi-factor authentication, which includes behind the scenes monitoring of activity on the account. Where are they signing on from? The time of day they're signing on and the location. If it's a transaction that looks suspicious, asking them additional security questions"
Debit card vs. credit card. Debit cards are convenient in that when you use it for a transaction, the money is immediately withdrawn from your checking account. The downside, that's exactly what will happen when thieves get a hold of that number...they'll suck your account dry. You have greater protection with a credit card.
"Obviously with a credit card it's not immediately coming out of your account," said Barrett. "That's the safest protection for you because you can dispute the transaction with the credit card issuer before you have actually been harmed from a financial prospective."
Remember, your bank will never ask you for your personal information in an email or text for that matter. Id and account numbers should never be communicated that way. Notify your bank immediately if you receive any email or text that appears to be from them and asking for that type of information

- Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and frozen fruits and vegetables without sauce.
- Limit processed foods high in sodium.
- When eating out, request lower sodium options.
- Support initiatives that reduce sodium in foods in cafeterias and vending machines.
Places that produce, sell, or serve food can:
- Consider joining voluntary initiatives to reduce sodium such as the National Salt Reduction Initiative
- Give choices to consumers to help them reduce sodium in their diet by:
- Stocking lower sodium foods.
- Asking food manufacturers to provide lower sodium foods.
- Make phased reductions in the amount of sodium they add to foods they sell or serve.
- Limit the amount of sodium in food products.

Create a custom backup tool with Vista's Robocopy
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Microsoft updated Robocopy with some extra features designed for Vista and decided to make it a regular part of the Windows Vista operating system. While this is a good thing in that it is readily accessible to all, there is a catch -- Robocopy is a command line tool and its power is tucked away in more than 80 switches. In this edition of the Windows Vista Report, Greg Shultz examines Robocopy and the necessary switches in detail. He then shows you how to create and use a command line script to create an exact mirrored duplicate of all the data files in your user profile folder.

To order your pool just follow these simple steps to ensure you have everything necessary to enjoy your new pool:
Step 1: Select your pool: pre-selected option
Step 2: Select your pool liner style and pattern:
Uni-Bead style liners, also called J-Hook liners have an altered strip of vinyl at the top which acts as a bead receiver so there is no need to purchase additonal bead receivers. Uni-Bead liners are the easiest liners to install; you simply hang it on the pool wall before installing the top rail of the pool. There is no excess material to trim on these liners and the result is a much better looking finish when compared to an overlap liner.
Choose From These Great Uni-Bead Liner Patterns:
Liberty - Heavy 25 Gauge
Rolling Rock - Heavy 25 Gauge
Pacific Diamond- Standard 20 Gauge
Step 3: Select your optional pool equipment package:
Available with Supreme Equipment Packages OR an Ultra Equipment Package
Supreme Equipment Packages Include:
- 22" Sand Filter & 1.5 HP Pump System OR 120 Sq Ft Cartridge Filter & 1.5 HP Pump System
- Easy Step & Ladder Pool Entry System - Steps on inside of pool with a locking safety ladder on outside of pool
- Complete Maintenance Kit
- Dirt Blaster Automatic Pool Cleaner
- Arctic Armor Winter Cover w/ 8 Year Warranty
- 8 mil Blue Solar Cover w/ 3 Year Warranty
Ultra Equipment Package Includes:
- Sta-Rite 150 Sq Ft ModMedia Sand Filter with 1.5 HP Pump
- Grand Entrance Pool Step featuring double handrails & slip resistant steps. Ideal for pools with decks
- Complete Maintenance Kit
- Dirt Blaster Automatic Pool Cleaner
- Artic Armor Winter Cover w/ 8 Year Warranty
- 8 mil Blue Solar Cover w/ 3 Year Warranty
Step 4: Select optional pool chemical kit:
Adding on an optional checmical kit will provide everything you need to start your pool up and keep it healthy throughout the season including a pool care guide.
Step 5: Select optional pool floor padding:
We offer super tough Gorilla Pad Pool Floor Padding which is impervious to almost any sharp object and is not easily cut by rocks, roots and nut grass like standard pool foam. It also adds a layer of cushioning that will eliminate footprints from forming on the pool bottom. It is pre-cut for your pool size so there is no need to cut and tape smaller pieces.
Step 6: Select optional wall foam:
Wall foam creates a smooth wall surface while preventing corrosion, rust and pool wall degradation from puncturing you pool's liner. Wall foam is simple to install and will add years of life to your pool liner. Use our Foam Bond Pool Wall Foam Spray Adhesive to create a quick and permanent application.
Step 7: Select optional wall foam spray adhesive:
Foam Bond Wall Foam Adhesive is a must for a fast, simple and long lasting application of wall foam to your pool.
Step 8: Select optional pool cove strips:
Pool Cove fits along the bottom of your pool on the inside of the pool wall to seal the space between the wall and your liner. A vital component to every above ground pool, it can add several years onto the life of your vinyl liner by preventing premature wear and tear. Pool Cove prevents liner failure from sand washout, prevents corrosion of the pool wall and prevents liner tearing and leaking due to wall stretch.

|6' 4"/ 217 lbs.
|Seattle, WA
|Years played
|2005, 1st round, 1st pick by 49ers
Three takeaways from Smith deal
Instead of declaring a winner in a trade that won't become official for two weeks, Arthur Arkush offers three takeaways from San Fran sending Alex Smith to K.C.
Report: 49ers trade QB Alex Smith to Chiefs
The 49ers have agreed to trade QB Alex Smith to the Chiefs, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported. The deal is not official until March 12.
49ers Roman, Smith might be package deal
Could 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman and QB Alex Smith depart to join a team that needs a head coach and a quarterback?
Mixed signals in San Francisco
The way we hear it, a weekly guessing game could be in the offing regarding the 49ers' QB situation.
Harbaugh expects Alex Smith to be cleared
Jim Harbaugh expects Alex Smith to be medically cleared to play by Saturday.
Report: Kaepernick to start vs. Saints
49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh reportedly has decided to start Colin Kaepernick against the Saints in New Orleans in Week 12.
Tuesday's 60-second rant: Resisting the Kaepernick temptation
Colin Kaepernick's grand introduction to the NFL Monday night doesn't change the fact that, while his ceiling is higher than Alex Smith's, his floor is lower.
Report: 49ers QB Smith ruled out, Kaepernick to start
49ers QB Alex Smith has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Bears, ESPN's Chris Mortensen first reported.
Thursday's 60-second rant: Bears-Niners bash weighing heavy on brain
PFW executive editor Dan Arkush reflects on the head-scratching subplots in Monday night's matchup between the Bears and Niners.
QB fantasy tips: Palmer primed for big day
In our late-week fantasy QB tips, expect big things from Carson Palmer and Matthew Stafford. Plus, Andrew Luck is a boom-or-bust play against the Patriots.
Quarterback injuries mar terrific matchups
Week 11 has some gems on the schedule, but many marred by potential QB injuries. Here's a look at the slate as we head for the final third of the season.
Tuesday's 60-second rant: Injuries could dull 2012's best one-two prime-time punch
What appeared to be great NFL drama in Week 11 took a potentially big hit with three significant QB injuries.
NFC West spin cycle: Unlikely tie tightens up division
While the Rams and Niners fought to a 24-24 deadlock in San Francisco, the Seahawks kept the heat on with a 28-7 pasting of the Jets.
49ers QB Smith suffers concussion
49ers QB Alex Smith sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Smith, Brown, House named NFC Players of the Week
49ers QB Alex Smith, Giants S Stevie Brown and Packers CB Davon House were named the NFC's Players of the Week for Week Eight.
The San Francisco 49ers made their trade of Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs official on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after the two sides agreed to it.||||||| The 49ers will receive the Chiefs' second-round pick, 34th overall, and a conditional choice in next year's draft, a person familiar with the terms told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not disclosed. Smith must still pass a physical for the trade to be completed.
A person with knowledge of the trade tells The Associated Press that the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to acquire Smith from San Francisco.||||||| The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade does not become official until March 12, when the NFL's new business year begins. Smith lost his starting job to Colin Kaepernick after sustaining a concussion Nov. 11. Kaepernick played well, and coach Jim Harbaugh stuck with him even when Smith was healthy.
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is sticking with Colin Kaepernick as his starter under center - for now, anyway - as his team prepares for Sunday's home game with the Miami Dolphins. And, no, Alex Smith isn't out of this mix yet, either.||||||| A day after a 16-13 overtime loss at St. Louis, Harbaugh accepted the blame for the fourth-quarter pitch that was fumbled by Kaepernick and led to Janoris Jenkins' 2-yard fumble return for a touchdown and ensuing 2-point conversion that tied the game. Harbaugh didn't call the play, but relayed it through the headset to Kaepernick. Harbaugh says he saw positives in the way Kaepernick responded after the mistakes.
Coach Jim Harbaugh made the announcement Wednesday that Colin Kaepernick would go Sunday at St. Louis over Alex Smith after the second-year pro led the NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) to victories in the past two games, his first two NFL starts.||||||| Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick, hardly looked happy on the sideline during Sunday's win over the Saints after being medically cleared from a concussion suffered in the first half of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith has been declared out for Monday night's game against Chicago with a concussion. Team medical director Dr. Dan Garza evaluated Smith, who was hurt eight days ago against St. Louis.||||||| The 49ers will start second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who replaced Smith in the 24-24 tie with the Rams last week. Smith practiced on a limited basis during the week, but could not pass tests under the NFL's concussion treatment protocol to allow him back on the field against Chicago. Smith has made 28 consecutive starts and led the 49ers to a 6-2-1 record this season. He was left midway through the second quarter of last week's tie with St. Louis.

The Lighthouse of Lengkuas Island
From the top of the lighthouse, we can see the beautiful rocky island of Lengkuas.
This lighthouse tower is an old lighthouse, and was built by the Dutch government back in 1882. Its a 18 level tower with approximately 50 - 60 meters height.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

As of Monday, May 20, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — The next three days will be big ones in the final stages of construction of the new terminal at the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport.
Airport Director Yvette Aehle told the Aviation Commission at its monthly meeting Monday that subcontractors will gather at the construction site starting today to begin inspections and working on an extensive punch list that must be completed before the facility is granted a certificate of occupancy.
Aehle said airport officials are shooting to get the CO by June 2.
"Our plan is to hold a simple dedication ceremony on June 26," Aehle told the board. "July 10 is the first day the terminal will be used by passengers. We'll be here all night July 9 changing things over."
The airport director told commissioners she'd had no luck in attracting a permanent food/concessions vendor for the new terminal.
"This is like deja vu; we faced the same problem when I was a member of this board in the '80s," board member and former Albany Mayor Willie Adams said. "It's all related to traffic flow. Until the numbers go up, it's just not going to work."
Aehle said she'd like to have at least a temporary vending area in place when the terminal opens so that space designed for a permanent vendor is not vacant. She was directed by the board to look into a number of possibilities by the next Aviation Commission meeting June 17.
The board also authorized airport staff to accept Federal Aviation Administration grants that will allow for the quickest construction of a Remote Communications Air-to-Ground Building. It also approved a $330,770.40 low bid by Kellerman Construction of Valdosta to build that structure. Ninety percent of the project will be funded by the FAA, while the airport's matching 10 percent contribution will come from special-purpose local-option sales tax funds.

Money thrown away...the airport closure is coming. It is ridiculous it costs 300.00 plus dollars extra to fly out of Albany. I save money by driving to Atlanta and driving out of Hartsfield.
dsgb19us 1 year, 3 months ago
Haters all ways make themselves look stupid. "I save money by driving to Atlanta and (driving) out of Hartsfield." How about moving to Atlanta? Idiot!
LikeItIs 1 year, 3 months ago
Agreed, haters do tend to make themselves look a bit silly, especially when they throw the "idiot" word at others. Oh wait, you did get a vote for your comment. I wonder who voted?
ittybittyme 1 year, 3 months ago
What is stupid is people like you who have no clue about finances. I saved 250.00 flying out of Hartsfield. No hater here...I spoke the truth and you can't handle it. The bottom line is cost.
dsgb19us 1 year, 3 months ago
So I guess you got an electric car or you walked to ATL. Lol

Plus the wear and tear on your car. You people sit in the same offices or homes and complain complain complain. Learn how to support support support. You can't be scrooges all of your pathetic lives. ittybittyme, LikeItIs, and VietVet. Call Grace for Amazed2 because you all are idiots! Like I said.

"The airport director told commissioners she'd had no luck in attracting a permanent food/concessions vendor for the new terminal."
Wow! Sure didn't see that coming. Bet dsgb19us could set up a hot dog stand and "earn" some money! With the huge crowd waiting for next flight out, or those wanting to dine in before going home it'll be a sure fire money-maker. Oh wait, that doesn't happen. Idiot!

Hey she can go to Jimmy's Hot Dogs get about 100 dogs each day. Keep them warm in a crock pot. Sell them for $1.00 each. Nothing like the aroma of a Jimmy Dog w onions.
