The corn can also be refrigerated and served cold.–Claire Robinson
LC Aw Shucks Note
There are two ways to go about shucking corn, far as we know. One is to rid it of those papery husks and clingy, silken strands by just ripping them off, as the recipe below indicates. The other is to gingerly pull back the husks without detaching them and instead tying them back with some kitchen string so that they serve as a handle of sorts, as in the photo above, before dispensing of the silken strands. If doing the latter, you probably want to dunk the ears of corn and their husk handles in a pot of cold water for at least half an hour just, you know, not to tempt fate–or flame.
Corn with Curried Yogurt Sauce Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 8
- 7 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 4 large ears corn, shucked
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1. Preheat a stove top grill pan to medium-high heat or get that gas or charcoal grill of yours aflame.
- 2. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, honey, lime juice from as few or as many wedges as desired, and curry powder until smooth. Set aside while you grill the corn to allow the flavors to meld.
- 3. Grill the corn, turning frequently, until tender and fairly evenly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the corn to a cutting board and slice or break each ear in half. Serve the corn immediately with a drizzle of the curried yogurt, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and the remaining wedges of fresh lime on the side for squeezing.

A new way to serve grilled corn! I loved the curried yogurt sauce with a nice balance of flavors with honey & lime. This sauce could be used on many things and not just corn.
Adrienne Lee

The curried yogurt is quite good as a sauce for the corn. If the corn is really good, though, the sauce is a bit extraneous, but still good.

I made this recipe this past Sunday in Iowa for a nice big group of people. It's a fun and different way to eat corn as a salad. The general consensus was that it was very tasty, but the lime juice overpowered a tad the rest of the ingredients. I believe that half the amount of lime juice would have been more than enough.

This recipe was quick and delicious. Although I enjoy the flavor of grilled corn, next time I might just steam the corn. My apartment has ultra-sensitive fire alarms…and off they went partway through the grilling process. The curry flavor was wonderful with the sweet corn, especially when tempered by the tangy Greek yogurt and the lime.

The one thing that I really was so excited about was the lime squeezed on the corn. It brought out the sweetness of the corn and gave it a bright clean taste. Next time I do this again I will incorporate the lime. The curried yogurt was really nice. I also had grilled some chicken breast, so I used it to dip the chicken. I had a problem with my corn drying out, as it sat for a few minutes. Other than that, I will make this again. Lots of flavor and a new way to have the corn on the cob, not all spread with butter, so a bit healthier.

We really enjoyed this unusual, slightly hot, spicy sauce with the sweet smoky flavor of our grilled corn. I actually cooked the corn on a gas grill since I was making steak at the same time. The sauce took only a minute or two to put together. It had a very slight harsh edge from the curry powder but by the time we used it, about 20 minutes later, it had mellowed nicely and blended with the honey and citrus. It did, in my opinion, need a hearty sprinkling of salt and pepper.

A really light, simple, and flavorful recipe, and a pleasingly unconventional accompaniment to corn. Nicely balanced flavors–sweet, tangy, bright, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting. Preparation-wise, this comes together very quickly–if you can juice a lime, you can make this. Although the recipe calls for grilled corn, I don't have a grill, so I just briefly boiled the ears. It still turned out really well. Serving size, by the way, is generous. You'll likely end up with leftovers.
Debra K.
Aug 28, 2012
This recipe gave a nice alternative to grilling outside. The simple curried yogurt comes together quickly, and leftovers, with some chopped pepper and red onion, became a corn salad. The gussied-up yogurt can be used to dress more than corn—it would be equally nice with a late season cucumber salad, or on top of some of those smaller eggplants slowly roasted until the flesh becomes unctuous.

Authorities say a man is in custody in connection with a burglary at a northwest side Tucson home.
Pima County Sheriff's officials say 24-year-old Michael Allen Frances is being held on suspicion of first-degree burglary.
Authorities say they found stolen electronics, jewelry and other items at the suspect's house.
Sheriff's deputies say a homeowner reported seeing a suspicious man walking down the street carrying bags.
The homeowner identified the bags as his property and followed the suspect before calling the Sheriff's Department.
Deputies took the man into custody and obtained a search warrant for his home, where they reportedly found stolen items from several burglaries.
Authorities didn't immediately know Friday if Frances had a lawyer yet.

Duo happy at rally finish
5:20pm Friday 28th February 2014 in Sport
STEVE Deeley and Alan Proudman enjoyed a creditable 81st place in the Weir Engineering Wyedean Forest Rally – and undoubtedly did it the hard way.
Seeded to start in a 131st position out of 135 starters, and with overnight rain making the gravel forest tracks axle deep in rutted mud, there was little to be optimistic about for the duo.
However, with the knowledge of knowing how many competitors had started out before them, some in their WRC four-wheel-drive ground-churning machines, the Halesowen pair set off undeterred in their diminutive Peugeot 205 two-wheel-drive car.
Not only did they persevere with the conditions, they surpassed even their own wildest dreams eclipsing 50 of the cars that were in front of them to take a well-earned 81st place.

MALONE — Franklin County legislators appointed Thomas Leitz to a three-year term as county manager last week, but they have been advised to revamp that resolution.
An appointee for county manager is not supposed to serve a term that is longer than the term of the board that makes the appointment, according to a 2005 advisory opinion from the State Attorney General's Office.
Leitz took over the job from former County Manager James Feeley at a salary of $76,000 under a two-year contract that expires June 28.
Legislators recently passed a resolution to reappoint him to a three-year term at a salary of $84,400.
All seven seats on the County Legislature are up for re-election this fall.
When a Press-Republican reporter pointed out that a sitting board cannot obligate future board members to their choice for county manager beyond their own term of office, county legislators disagreed.
They asked County Attorney Jonathan Miller for an opinion, but he said he did not know the appointment was going to be discussed that day and had no information for them.
Legislators then voted unanimously to reappoint Leitz.
But according to an informal opinion from February 2005 requested from Seneca County, the Attorney General's Office said, since the issue was first raised in 1903, "common law has long recognized … that a governing board operating in its governmental or legislative capacity may not bind a successor board."
The Attorney General's opinion, which cited county law, election law, Municipal Home Rule and village law, determined that in Seneca County "a county board of supervisors may not enact a local law creating for the position of county manager a term of office that is longer than that of a majority of the supervisors."
When contacted by the Press-Republican days later, Miller said he had researched the issue, found the 2005 opinion and, after talking to Leitz, decided to advise legislators to rescind the June 7 resolution they passed and create a new one that appoints the manager to a six-month term that expires in December.
Then, whichever candidates win County Legislature seats in the November election will appoint a new county manager.
The revised resolution is expected to be on the agenda for the legislators' regular meeting next Thursday.

The APC40 features high quality controls for real-time mixing, remixing and production
The APC40 is the world's finest Ableton Live control surface. Ableton and Akai Professional worked in a joint partnership to make the APC40 the perfect Ableton Live control surface. Whether you are an electronic-music performance artist and Live is your canvass, a DJ using Live to mix tracks, or a traditional musician using Live on stage or in the studio, the APC40 is designed for intuitive, powerful control.
Because Akai Professional and Ableton designed the APC40 for Live, you don't need to map its controls to talk to the software. Just connect your laptop to the APC40 with its USB cable and you're ready to make magic. The APC40 is class compliant, so you don't even need to install drivers. And if you're an advanced Live user, the APC40 gives you the ability to remap every one of its controls to suit your own style.
The APC40 talks directly to Live and Live talks directly to the APC40. This exclusive bidirectional communication makes the APC40 an advanced controller in that it can receive feedback from the software and display it on its clip matrix of 40 triggers and on LED rings surrounding each knob. The clip matrix gives you an instant view of clip status: what's loaded, what's playing, and what's being recorded. Each state displays on the matrix in a different color so you can get a quick picture of clip state. You can shift your clip focus and get an overview of the clips you have loaded for your set. The APC40 has 16 knobs, each surrounded by a ring of LEDs. These LED rings make seeing your settings a breeze on dark stages, indicating the currently selected parameters' values. This advanced visual feedback makes performing with the APC40 focused more on the music and less on squinting at the computer screen. In fact, you might even forget that the computer is there!
Ableton selected Akai Professional as a partner because of its leadership position in great-feeling controllers that are rock solid, rugged, and precise. From the legendary MPC series that changed the way music is made to the industry-standard MPD and MPK controllers, Akai Professional is revered by musicians, DJs, and producers everywhere for creating the feel that powers their creativity. The APC40 is built with a rugged, metal chassis and slip-proof rubber detailing. Knobs and faders are solid and precise for pinpoint performance. It even features a high quality, replaceable crossfader.
The APC40 comes with a special edition of Ableton Live Lite so you can use it out of the box even if you're new to Live. There's also a free patch that upgrades full versions of Live so if you're already a Live user, you can take full advantage of the APC40.
The APC40 has two banks of eight knobs. The first set controls Global parameters so you'll always have instant access to your main sends, pans, and other essentials. The second bank of eight knobs is dynamically reassigned to the Track you select. You can control eight track parameters at a time, and as you switch channels, the Track knobs follow your focus. You also get special clip-status views and feedback that only the APC40's matrix can display. The matrix is not limited to only 40 clips: you can scroll and shift, enabling access to an unlimited number of cells.
The APC40 has a wide range of controllers. The eight Global knobs can access four banks of controls; the eight Track knobs control nine different track parameters each. This gives you a massive total of 72 controllers that are dynamically reassigned. Channel faders, bus faders, and a crossfader give you smooth control of key values. You have even more control power with special controls including Tap Tempo, Tempo Nudge, record enables, solo/cues and two assignable footswitch inputs.
Designed in partnership with Ableton, the APC40 is the most advanced Live controller for the most advanced performers.
Software System Requirements
The APC40 requires Ableton Live 7 or higher.
Mac: Any G4 or faster (Intel Mac recommended), 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended), Mac OS X 10.3.9 (10.4 or later recommended), QuickTime 6.5 or higher, DVD-ROM drive

A Fort Myers Marathon gas station is broken in and a thief gets away with thousands of dollars of cigarettes.
It's the second time a Fort Myers Marathon gas station has been broken into this week; both times the thief or thieves get away with thousands of dollars of cigarettes and cash.
We first told you about the Marathon break-in off of Martin Luther King in Fort Myers Tuesday. Deputies tell us a man made off with $1,300 in cigarettes.
Wednesday, we learned of another break-in; this time thieves broke into the Marathon gas station on Crystal Drive off US-41.
In the surveillance video, you can see a man hit the glass on the front door. The suspect then kicks in the glass and crawls inside.
He immediately jumps behind the counter and begins filling two trash bags with cartons of cigarettes from under the counter.
According to reports, the suspect packed the bags with $4,500 worth of cigarettes.
The video then shows the man stealing money from the cash register.
According to reports, the suspect stole $6,500 in cash. The suspect drove away in a white truck and deputies are investigating.
"Cigarettes are high value and these people maybe keeping them for themselves or selling them for profit," says Sgt. David Velez of the Lee County Sheriff's office.
Stealing cartons and cigarette packs is becoming a huge problem both nationally and internationally.
The ATF has become involved in an international investigation into cigarette smuggling or cigarette trafficking.
According to press releases put out by the Department of Alcohol Tobacco and Fire Arms, there's a "black market" for cigarettes and its costing state's millions of dollars in tax revenue.
If you know anything about this crime, you're asked to call the Lee County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS.

A 23-year-old man is charged with punching his 7-months-pregnant girlfriend in the abdomen during a fight, ultimately killing her unborn child, prosecutors said Thursday.
Jovanny Martinez is accused of punching the 25-year-old woman so severely she thought her water had broken, only to find blood on the floor, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Christy Brewer said.
The attack happened about 11 p.m. on July 8 at the apartment they and their 11-month-old child share in the 4700 block of South Paulina. Martinez allegedly punched the woman repeatedly in her abdomen and arms, Brewer said.
The woman's stillborn daughter — whose father was not Martinez — was delivered at Mount Sinai Hospital early the following morning, Brewer said. An autopsy found the girl died from an internal assault and her death was ruled a homicide.
Martinez is charged with one felony count each of homicide of an unborn child, aggravated domestic battery and aggravated battery, authorities said.
The reason for the fight was not discussed during the Thursday hearing.
Martinez was arrested Tuesday, and on Thursday, Judge Laura Sullivan ordered him held on a $700,000 bond. Martinez, appearing in court in a black T-shirt and white basketball shorts, was also ordered jailed without bond for violating probation for a 2012 robbery conviction.

Business support group is wound up in Keswick
Last updated at 07:46, Friday, 04 May 2012
A group which spent six years working to boost business in Keswick has been scrapped.
Keswick Business Improvement District was launched in 2006 as a partnership between business and local government.
All eligible businesses paid a levy on top of their business rates and that money was spent on projects to increase trade.
Its work included the creation of a new car park at Fitz Park, support for events like the jazz festival and the production of shopping guides.
The initial five-year term ended in March last year and a ballot of traders then revealed that, while most traders who voted wanted it to continue, a second poll based on the rateable values of businesses was lost.
Some of the original committee stayed in place and worked towards building up a fresh proposal to put to a new vote last month.
This time, the vote based on rateable value was won, with 60 per cent support, but overall 55 per cent of businesses were against relaunching the scheme.
In total 271 businesses voted out of the 547 polled.
The group is now being wound up and its remaining funds – a few hundred pounds – will be passed to another organisation in the town to be used for the benefit of businesses.
Chairman Paul Titley said he felt the town had missed a huge opportunity.
He urged businesses to join Keswick Tourism Association – the only organisation in the town now working to develop business – to ensure their voices were heard.

The Federal Donuts coming to 3428 Sansom Street is opening shortly. How shortly? According to a tweet from Federal Donuts yesterday, "in fewer days than you can count on two Simpsons hands." Which if our arithmetic is correct, means the new Federal Donuts will open within eight days, seven as of today. Unless thumbs don't count, then it's five.
Counting on Simpson fingers is tougher than it seems.
UPDATE: Just got word that FedNuts West will be opening the doors at 7am on Monday, March 10–which, true to their promise, is a number of days that can be counted on two Simpsons hands.
All the new flavors of donuts and fried chicken right this way…

Expert Q&A: What Comes Next After Finishing Treatment
As people complete their cancer treatment, they may experience a range of emotions, from relief that treatment is over to apprehension about the future. In some ways, this transition is one of the least understood aspects of the cancer experience. Cancer.Net talked with Lidia Schapira, MD, about coping with the end of active cancer treatment.

Recognizing Milestones
Many people mark milestones in their cancer treatment plan and survivorship in a variety of ways. For many people, the one-year and five-year cancer-free milestones are very meaningful. Other milestones and anniversary dates can be marked as well, such as the end of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, the date of your cancer diagnosis, the anniversary of surgery to treat your cancer, or after each follow-up visit.
Going Back to Work After Cancer
After treatment for cancer, many people look forward to returning to the work. Working can provide opportunities to reconnect with colleagues and friends, focus on something other than cancer, get involved in interesting and challenging projects, and start regaining a normal routine and lifestyle. It is also a time of transition and questions may arise about how to talk with coworkers and employers about cancer and how to understand workplace rights and responsibilities. Some preparation before returning to work can help make this transition a little easier.
Cancer and Workplace Discrimination
Information on protecting the rights of the person with cancer and his or her family and information for employees.
Finding a Job After Cancer
For some cancer survivors, looking for a new job or reentering the job market can be a challenging experience. However, unless you have physical or mental disabilities that limit the type of work you are planning to perform, your cancer history should not affect your ability to get a job. If you are qualified for a job, an employer cannot refuse to hire you simply because you have a history of cancer.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Cancer
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that a person can develop after experiencing or seeing a life-threatening or extremely frightening event. Although PTSD is often associated with situations such as war, weather-related disasters, sexual or physical attacks, and serious accidents, such as a plane crash, the disorder can also affect people with a history of cancer.
Post-Traumatic Growth and Cancer
We've all heard of post-traumatic stress, which is generally used to describe feelings of anxiety and fear following a frightening or life-threatening experience, such as receiving a cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment. However, such experiences can also cause a positive life change or a period of improvement. In fact, some studies suggest that reports of growth following a traumatic event are more common than reports of psychiatric disorders taking place from the experience.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route was not unpleasant, it just was not worth much. There weren't even any cool moves on it. I did it because I was there, I was waiting, and I was antsy, and I was at the top of this flake... (having just done Pedigree Poodles and having discovered no fixed anchors, or evidence that there ever were any). Like it's neighbors, this is a better boulder than it is a route. It is also harder than the book would imply, & not very secure to start. A fall from the starting slopers would be very near the ground and not of much consequence unless you stumbled backward into traffic.
A few small cams to the top and 1.5-3" cams to protect the top if necessary. Maybe large tricams would be better to avoid tweaking cam stems.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger jokes he's getting "gifts" from his receivers these days hoping he'll start throwing the ball around to spark his team's lifeless offense.
At the moment, Roethlisberger figures the best present he can receive is a victory.
The Steelers are 0-2 for the first time in 11 years heading into Sunday night's game against Chicago (2-0). The offense is 30th in points scored and 31st in yards rushing. The team held a meeting on Tuesday afternoon to clear the air while it hopes to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1986.
Roethlisberger downplayed any rift in the locker room, saying everyone is frustrated. Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who endured a 1-8 start with the New York Jets in 2007, says the Steelers need to stick together before the snowball turns into an avalanche.

|Trust of leaders near historic low
By Cal Thomas
WITHOUT THE the slightest hint of irony, President Obama said last week, "If people can't trust not only the executive branch but also don't trust Congress, and don't trust federal judges to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here."
Yes we are, because more and more of us don't trust government. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, "Trust in the federal government remains mired near a historic low, while frustration with government remains high." Furthermore, notes Pew, a "majority of the public says that the federal government threatens their personal rights and freedoms."What has led to this distrust?

Most of the time, I've just taken a change of clothes on the airplane, eggymar (after one nightmare poop blowout experience). I think it depends on your baby and also your level of comfort. Some parents freak if there is a bit of spitup on an outfit and change it immediately, but I never worried unless it was major or poop. So I rarely took a spare outfit for my son. Nor did I change his clothes at home too often. There was enough laundry with stains to do without putting a clean outfit on him each time he burped a bit. But if I was planning to be out all day, I sometimes would throw in the car or bag a clean onesie or something JIC. But for quick errands, not.

Talented Kieran prepares to take ventriloquism act to West End stage
9:00am Sunday 14th October 2012 in News By Hayley Mortimer, Reporter
YOUNG ventriloquist, Kieran Powell, is preparing to perform in front of royalty at the Savoy Theatre in London's West End.
The 17-year-old from Nailsworth will showcase his unique act at the First News Diamond Kids Royal Gala in November as part of this year's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
He will be sharing the stage with Jason Donovan, who is hosting the night, to raise money for ChildLine.
Kieran dreams of being a professional entertainer and it has been a promising year for the young star since he won this year's Undiscovered Youth Talent Contest, organised by The Door Youth Project.
He has performed to audiences all over the country and even performed on the streets of the Olympic village, home to more that 18,000 athletes and officials, on the day of the London Olympics closing ceremony in August.
The former Wycliffe College pupil said: "It has been a fantastic year, being able to perform all over the place and write new material. It's obviously a great honour to be invited to perform in the West End."
Kieran is also about to perform his first solo theatre show - Look Who's Talking - at Cheltenham Playhouse on October 27, before taking it to theatres across the country next year.
" I am very excited to be performing my own theatre show. Having tried out some of the new material at other events, I think it'll be something that people will really enjoy," he said.
Tickets cost £5 and are available from the Cheltenham Playhouse box office on 01242 522852. For more information go to www.kieranpowell.co.uk

MORRISVILLE — It's been a long time coming, but the dirt is finally flying at the future 25-acre park on Church Street.
Officially, construction on the $5.2million park is set to start this week, but elected officials, town staff and parks and recreation advisory board members got the ball rolling Thursday with a groundbreaking ceremony.
It will take about a year for workers to put in walking trails, a playground and tennis courts. One of the most anticipated features of the park is a regulation-size cricket pitch – a first for the Triangle.
The Triangle Cricket League has been clamoring for more field space to host tournaments and games as the sport has gained popularity over the past decade.
"This will be the cricket capital of the Southeastern United States very soon," Morrisville Town Councilman Steve Rao said.
Other sports will also benefit from the new park. The cricket pitch will double as a multipurpose field.
While it has plenty of anticipation, what the park doesn't have yet is a name. For now, town leaders call it RTP Park in homage to Research Triangle Park, which sold a tract of land for the park to the town.
At the beginning of the year, the town will ask the public to submit name suggestions online, said Jerry Allen, director of parks and recreation in Morrisville. The town's parks advisory board will consider the options and make a recommendation to the Town Council, which will have the final vote, Allen said.
The project has been in the works for about a decade. In 2004, voters approved $4million in bonds for the park.
"I want to thank the public for their patience over the last 10 years," said Councilwoman Liz Johnson. "I think all good things come at the right time. I'm looking forward to this park, and I'm looking forward to naming this new park, too."
Councilman Michael Schlink said the park will offer more than cricket.
"I think we shouldn't forget about the tennis players here in Morrisville," Schlink said. "They will have the opportunity to play here."
Morrisville hasn't had a new park since 2009, when the town opened the Indian Creek Greenway and Trailhead park. Adding another recreation area will unite the community, said Mayor Jackie Holcombe.
Every year, Morrisville picks a theme and plans events and programs around it. This year's theme was "community."
"It's hard to imagine anything that strengthens a community more than a brand new park," Holcombe said. "I think it will bring a number of different representatives of the community together, for tennis, cricket, with playgrounds, the walking trail – just for picnicking.
"This will be a centrally located opportunity for all of us."

A tale of two signings: Kluwe and Tebow
Two very disparate signings in pro football in the last month. First, punter and outspoken gay rights advocate Chris Kluwe has signed with the Raiders (after being let go by the Vikings). The former UCLA star has been a pro ball player eight years, the Raiders are his third team. Whether or not his views on same sex marriage had anything to do with Minnesota letting him go is not clear (The Vikings MVP running back Adrian Peterson is not an equality advocate) . Maybe they didn't like his band. Who knows?
Of far more note and unlikely pairing is the newest member of the New England Patriots, Tim Tebow. Signed as a possible third string quarterback (or possible halfback or replacement for the Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski), the poster boy for the pro-life movement and the "libertine" present QB Tom Brady would seem to be an odd couple. Given that Tebow's last coach was a foot fetishist and wife swapper, I think Brady's activities will seem mild by comparison.
Fact is this: If Kluwe is an upgrade on the generally dreadful Raiders and Tebow is the missing ingredient for the NFL's recent champions of the "near miss", what they think or stand for off the field is irrelevant. Raiders fans are among the most devoted in the world (among other things) and the last few years have been brutal in Oakland. The Patriots collapse in the last AFC championship game (and the crap out against the Giants twice) has re-ignited that old sorrow from the bleak, pre-Brady era. As a QB is by nature more significant than a punter, Tebow will be under massive scrutiny. But he has the best coach in the world and New England sports fans (that hated him a week ago) loving him now (kind of).
Training camp for both teams did get a whole lot more interesting though!
That the NFL can be home to anyone. I remember hearing about how Kluwe "killed" his career with his pro-gay stances. Well..looky here, he's got a job! As for Tebow, maybe being away from the more religious part of the country will do him some good.
conservatives are narrow idiots who don't understand the vagaries of liberalism, and then blather on about how all conservatives are religious chuckleheads who think Tebow is great?
My sister who thinks she is being gassed by chem trails is deeper than you.
Where did I say that the cons thought he was Football's Messiah?
Hi there, everything is going well here and ofcourse every one is shsring facts, that's really fine, keep up writing.
JAW should be on Monday Night Football TV commentary. He's a true renaissance man.

Difference between revisions of "Lost and Found / Graveyard"
From i3Detroit
(Adding link to new proposed protocols)
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
== Graveyard ==
== Graveyard ==
Revision as of 17:37, 25 May 2013
Note from Terry W. I believe the existing rules below are outdated. I will propose an alternative at the June 4, 2013 Members Meeting. My prototype is at Stuff Handling Protocols. Please feel free to leave comments and critiques there.
The Graveyard is located between the shop entrance and the large bay door. The purpose of the Graveyard is to provide a warehouse of items available to salvage by members. Dispose of oldest/most useless items when over full.
- Do not bring items to i3Detroit specifically for the graveyard. Use the Virtual Graveyard on this here wiki if you want to post items for other members to take off your hands.
- Items may be placed in the graveyard by their owners, if the item was already stored at i3 in plots or with Parking Permit, or by any member if the item was in Lost and Found for at least a month
- Items in the graveyard must be dated so that old items can be cleaned out periodically.
- Items must fit on the shelves. If it doesn't fit, you can make room by disposing of other items.
- Keep the Graveyard full. If space is needed for new items, any member may dispose of older items.
- Do not place things you do not own directly into the Graveyard, no matter how offended you are by them, unless they are coming from Lost and Found.
- Any member may take possession of anything from the graveyard at any time. Member must then handle it as private property, including proper storage and permits, if needed.
- If an item is known to work or be broken, label as such
- Items in Special Handling areas of the Graveyard should be disposed of by the approved Special Handling. Items in the general area of the Graveyard will be disposed of by Dumpster. Special Handling areas of the Graveyard are clearly marked.
Lost and Found
Lost and Found is located
on top of the storage cabinet under the cork board at the very front of the shop.
- Unless claimed, the ultimate destination of an item placed in Lost and Found is disposal, either by Dumpster or off-site disposal. Only place items in Lost and Found which are intended for Disposal if unclaimed.
- Only items with expired Parking Tickets may be placed in the Lost and Found. Items with expired Parking Tickets should be placed into Lost and Found by the "Finder" listed on the Parking Ticket.
- Label found items with date and location found.
- Items must remain in Lost and Found for a minimum of one month afterwhich they can be moved to the Graveyard by any member.
- There are two shelves, "even months" and "odd months", referring to the month when item was found
- Any member placing an item in Lost and Found will again try to inform the owner
- Communicate privately if possible
- Post to the list when the owner is unknown
- include "[Placed in Lost and Found]" in the subject line

Calling the Bluegrass state home is something that I have always been proud of. Born here and raised here, I have left briefly only to inevitably return to the place that I gladly call home. There is truly a rich legacy that exists here in Kentucky; whether it's from the Racehorse trainers in Lexington with their sprawling, beautiful ranches where they seek to breed the finest horses in the world to run the Derby or from the hundreds of square miles of gorgeous wild lands. From the Land Between the Lakes and the Red River Gorge, Kentucky is a paradise for campers, hikers and admirers of natural beauty.
I find myself always surprised by the inherent beauty that suffuses this state. Kentucky was once such a lush land full of wildlife that the Native Indians considered it a sacred place; here they would hunt freely without warring on each other. Why war when the land was a bounty of life? Such a tale speaks to the hearts and the minds of the people that live here who have come to value the state for it's life. Continue reading

Two years of labor for the Eastern Shipbuilding facility are finally completed.
Wednesday was the launch of the Harvey Deep Sea vessel at the Allanton Shipyard. Hundreds of workers and their families gathered around to watch the christening and the launch.
The 302-foot, $85 million ship will be commissioned into the Gulf of Mexico and will have the capabilities to handle 102 tons at a depth of 10,000 feet accurately and safely.
President of Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Brian Disernia, says they have built over 300 ships using local workers and that has an important economic impact.
"The construction of this vessel involved hiring local citizens from Panama City, Bay County and Northwest Florida. America can do it. Were doing it, and in doing so were providing jobs for ourselves, members of our communities, and their families," said Disernia.
The ship will remain in Bay County for outfitting until next June.

A national media spotlight has focused on the battle between the Constitution of the
But as the holy smoke clears, news outlets might want to consider the concepts that have endured on those chiseled tablets — in the context of the media industry itself.
Before proceeding with this column, I wish to inform any litigious corporation among ye that I will be utilizing quotations from the Ten Commandments for "fair use†purposes in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107.
Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. should note that while I do not have access to extensive financial and legal resources of the sort available to Al Franken and his publisher, I intend to defend myself fully against any claims that Fox News has a propriety interest in Exodus 20:1-17.
Furthermore, I would vigorously dispute any claims brought against me by Charlton Heston, since — unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger — I clearly recognize the distinction between
Now, let's consider some implications of the Ten Commandments for modern corporate media.
1 — "Thou shalt have no other gods before me.â€
This one has dubious growth potential. As any significant time spent in medialand ought to make clear, false idols are the essence of the advertising biz. These days, serious devotion to a non-monetary deity would seem rather quaint in contrast to Nielsen ratings, Arbitron numbers and the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The gold standard may have gone the way of the golden calf, but media references to spiritual pieties can be understood as window-dressing for an industry that knows there's a world of difference between prophets and profits.
2 — "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.â€
No problem. Wood and stone are passe. Media images are what matter: for fast food, beer brands, cigarettes, new cars, politicians…
3 — "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.â€
No worries. Cable TV shows and movies are just so cool with all their extremely naughty words; scriptwriters don't even bother with taking the Lord's name in vain anymore.
4 — "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.â€
The 24/7 media business never puts its feet up. Thou shalt not lose market share.
5 — "Honor thy father and thy mother.â€
That concept sells occasionally.
6 — "Thou shalt not kill.â€
This one's a media loser. At best it only provides ancillary income streams. Any journalist in the habit of seriously making such an assertion is liable to be out of a big-media job. (Look what happened in the 1990s to Colman McCarthy at The
7 — "Thou shalt not commit adultery.â€
BORing. But a ratings winner among certain demographics.
8 — "Thou shalt not steal.â€
For a broadcast industry based on massive theft of the public airwaves for private corporate gain, that one's a laugher.
9 — "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.â€
After the Patriot Act (brought to you by George W. Bush and John Ashcroft while underwritten by much media silence), who's going to know?
10 — "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.â€
Hey, you're supposed to covet just about anything that is thy neighbor's … if you've seen it advertised.
