A majority of her work included counseling teenagers, teaching them how to use birth control and how to discuss it with their parents and partners.
Dawn also worked at Planned Parenthood where she had the opportunity to provide counseling on adoption, prenatal care, abortion and sex education as well as help clients find the right fit between their needs and their contraceptive method. She conducted pregnancy tests and provided options counseling. Dawn led workshops in her community on sexuality, contraceptives and STDs, and also facilitated reproductive health support groups.

Currently, she is a professor at the University of Phoenix and writes columns in publications and newsletters on various mental health issues, including reproductive health, birth control information, and how to talk to your children about sex and responsible sexual choices.
By Dawn Stacey M.Ed, LMHC:
I believe that all individuals have the right to manage their fertility and should have access to accurate information. I understand the personal issues surrounding birth control use. Being mentored through Planned Parenthood, I have had the amazing chance to experience people's real-life struggles and joys in the area of reproductive health. I have been able to witness both births and abortions, so I can truly describe what to really expect during these times. I'm also trained in adoption counseling as an alternative to abortion.
I am well-versed (and continue to learn up-to-date information) on all available forms of birth control and emergency contraception. I am passionate about contraception and its importance. As an advocate, I would love to see everyone make safe sex choices and reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and abortions. I love educating people about their birth control choices and have true experience seeing, firsthand, how these decisions affect all of our lives.

GOSHEN — Fire caused heavy damage to a factory building located along East Madison Street in Goshen Thursday.
According to Goshen Fire Chief Dan Sink, the Goshen Fire Department received a call at around 12:08 p.m. Tuesday that smoke and flames were showing at the Gleason Industrial Products building located just to the west of the Goshen High School campus.
Bill Malone, owner of Gleason Industrial Products, said there were approximately 22 employees working at the facility at the time of the fire. Gleason Industrial manufactures weather caps, or exhaust caps, for tractors and other large industrial equipment.
"They're the caps you see on the exhaust pipes of tractors to keep the weather out," Malone said as he stood watching firefighters work on the east side of the building along the railroad tracks. The manufacture of the caps requires the use of large, hot-burning ovens — which according to Sink may have been involved in the origin of the fire.
"There are a lot of issues here," Sink said of the scene, noting that he had to call in a dozen off-duty firefighters to help get the blaze under control. "We're not sure of the cause and origin yet. Wherever it started, it got into the roof and got into the sidewalls and the sides of the oven. So, we were working in three different areas with the crews — the roof, the interior crew and the outside crews — trying to get at it."
Malone said he believes insulation in one of the walls close to an oven caught fire. He also said the structure's firewall construction halted the spread of the blaze.
"It couldn't spread any further than just right here," Malone said.
Sink said he hadn't heard any reports of injuries either to firefighters or employees in connection with the blaze.
Still at the scene at around 1:45 p.m., Goshen firefighters had successfully extinguished most of the blaze and were working to make sure it was contained and did not spread to any other areas of the factory.
"We've got guys on the roof still working at pulling back roof," Sink said. "We've got guys inside pulling back wall, and we're just working to make sure we've got everything out before we leave."

subnet mask ⇝
address mask
<networking> (Or "subnet mask") A bit mask used to identify which bits in an IP address correspond to the network address and subnet portions of the address. This mask is often referred to as the subnet mask because the network portion of the address can be determined by the class inherent in an IP address. The address mask has ones in positions corresponding to the network and subnet numbers and zeros in the host number positions.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Germs can lurk all over your child's classroom leaving many kids to get sick.
Dr. Kelly Rodgers says it's like clockwork that 1 to 2 weeks after school starts she sees children with illnesses of the respiratory system like the common cold."Germs are spread most often through the droplets when we cough, sneeze, or talk to people," Dr. Rodgers said.Germs also spread through contact and touch. Dr. Rodgers says you can help your child keep a cold at bay by simply teaching them the basics.It's important to teach children not to not touch their eyes or nose and to sneeze and cough into a tissue or into the crook of their elbow. One of the biggest things kids can do is wash their hands as often as possible with soap and warm water."They need to do it for 15 to 20 seconds about as long as it takes to sing the happy birthday song twice," Dr. Rodgers said.Teachers can keep an alcohol based hand sanitizer and Kleenex available for students which also cuts down on germs. Another tip is to pack your child a water bottle instead of having them drink from the water fountain and if your child is sick with a fever, it's important for them to stay home."Try to minimize your exposure to other people if you are sick or if there are sick people in the family," Dr. Rodgers said.What you feed your child can also fuel their immune system. Keeping your child's plate full of color when it comes to fruits and vegetables can help build your child's immune system according to Dr. Rodgers.
Another immune booster is making sure your child gets at least 8 hours of sleep as well as a flu shot.

Free city-wide wi-fi in Southampton through lamp posts
6:00am Sunday 16th February 2014 in News
LAMP-posts across Southampton will soon provide free wireless Internet.
The project to install the innovative technology in the city's street furniture has now begun.
Council chiefs have officially signed off the deal allowing telecommunications firm Arqiva to get to work.
At an event yesterday, Labour council leader Simon Letts and chief executive Dawn Baxendale signed the agreement with Arqiva's director of Wi-Fi and small cells, Philip Congdon.
The Labour city council Cabinet approved the plans last year.
The city centre will be the area to benefit from the move, alongside other areas which experience high footfall levels, such as the waterfront.
When installed, it means residents and visitors alike will be able to access websites which could help with their travel plans or shopping requirements.
Wi-Fi will be free for the first 30 minutes of use each day, with a charge applying afterwards.
Civic chiefs in Southampton have voted to adopt the plan after seeing Arqiva implement it in Manchester city centre.
Other towns and areas, such as Swindon and Lincolnshire, already have Wi-fi lamp-posts.
The project will not cost the council, and will provide a small income with a 20 per cent share of revenue generated by Arqiva in Southampton going to the authority.
City leisure and economic development chief Matt Tucker said: "This is all about making Wi-Fi more accessible for visitors and residents.
"As soon as people come into the areas with Wi-Fi they can log in and explore the city and interact with various events.
"And if they don't have phones they can access it on, they can use one of the BT phone boxes which have shot up around the city centre."

In a matter of seconds anybody with a pay-as-you-go smartphone wanting a good read over a coffee, sandwich, pint etc can locate a cafe or hostelry with free wi-fi.
Or, if we ever get a summer, check their e-mails sitting in one of our beautiful parks.

On a related topic, where is that silvery rhino "Glint" that the council bought at auction last year? I seem to have missed what happened there....but then, I don't get out much.
It's hard to see a downside to this. But disappointing that so many posters come on and try to do exactly that, some of whom clearly haven't even read the article. Come on everyone! Let's try and see the more positive side of things for once.

A new data farm... with more and more people using devices and having no idea what actually comes out of these "free" kind of offers is nothing more than stealing your data and selling it on, to phising or even as far as key logging and stealing your credit/debit card details, the way i see it is that its just opened up a whole new world of cyber-criminal activity and company's to make more money off us.
I however would remain cautious because the revenue that can be raised will not solely be on the cost of the interent you pay for after the free 30 minutes, it will come from selling your data. Undoubtedly to sign up will ask for your name, home address, DOB and e-mail address. Many companies buy and sell data, even the Royal Mail do when you pay for mail redirection. They get a lot of money for this data to sell to utility companies who call you when you've moved home to offer you gas, electricity and phone/broadband. Your details will be sold if you use the free 30 minutes or pay to use more.
If you don't mind this then there's nothing to worry about.

CATEGORIES MoviesThis Friday, Nicholas Stoller's "The Five-Year Engagement" hits theaters. The rom-com stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt as a doomed couple with an ever-lengthening walk down the aisle.
Thanks to the comedic gifts of Segel and Blunt, along with their co-stars, Alison Brie and Chris Pratt, the film is a general joy to watch. However, you may find yourself aching for the credits: It's long. Really long. Over two hours long.
This had to be a romantic comedy blunder, right? (The film's length is no stranger to producer Judd Apatow, however, whose movies tend to fall around the two-hour mark.)
So! In honor of "The Five-Year Engagement," we've gathered a couple of your favorite flicks to serve as a guide to the DOs and DON'Ts of rom-coms. Hey, those who can't do, teach, right?

By Lauren Keith - bio | email
BLODGETT, MO (KFVS)--The commercial says, "Your pants are hemmed for heels, but you wanna wear flats. How do you fix that?"
Apparently, with Style Snaps! The reusable snaps instantly hem your pants which is something Tina Withrow's interested in. I'm short, but her five-foot frame makes me look tall.
"It's tough to find pants that fit," she said.
Not anymore if this works. The product makers state: "Place them wherever you want your hem and then snap. No sewing, ironing, and no gluing."
We try, but immediately, we're not impressed with the simple adhesive backing.
"If they stick, that'd be a good thing."
And it's not! Soon after Tina modeled her hemmed pants, the Style Snap fell off, letting down the pant cuffs with it.
"It's falling out already!"
On one pair of pants though, the Style Snaps stayed in place, allowing Tina to wear boots or flats. Still, she's not sure this is the look she's going for, among other worries.
"I'm disappointed to a certain extent. I don't think they're going to last. Probably one washing and they'd fall apart."
That's exactly what happened. Tina followed the directions and the Style Snaps still ended up all over her washing machine. Then, we read the fine print, which says Style Snaps are only re-usable up to ten times!
"That'd be a bit of a waste."
We think Style Snaps are a short-term fix only, no pun intended!
"I'd buy and put in my sewing kit in case of an emergency."
Overall, these are slacking...
"I'd give it a grade 'D' at best."
The sewing machine or seamstress still required in the long run, but in the short-term, Style Snaps let us down with a 'D' on this Does it Work test. We bought this set at Wal-mart in Cape Girardeau.

vacation rental description
Casa Blanca is a newly restored 7-unit apartment building; a stunning union of vintage and modern, period detail and contemporary lifestyle, classic sensibilities and state-of-the-art amenities.
This charming and cozy studio is tucked away just off the trendy Hollywood scene. With polished concrete floors and clean, modern surfaces, it is peppered with the aesthetics of contemporary architecture, while
the trickling fountain and warm gardens just outside bring to mind a zen garden retreat paired with casual outdoor living. Designed by architect Joseph Mullins, this smart and stylish apartment is perfect for anyone who appreciates a clean, modern sensibility while maintaining a connection to the outdoors - even when inside.
A gleaming new ultra-modern kitchen with stainless-steel appliances lines one wall, while a separate pantry provides plenty of storage and keeps the counters free of clutter. A large bathroom is situated behind the opposite wall, with glass tile, linen closet and an oversized shower featuring a large translucent window, fills the space with natural light.
This unit has windows on three sides, including a large picture-window overlooking an exclusive-use outdoor space and a tranquil garden, with stunning plant specimens and a wrought-iron garden set with seating for four. With all the privacy of a guest house in the Hollywood hills, there will be no other guests passing by the door or garden window. It's truly one-of-a-kind.
Casa Blanca is just a short walk from some of Hollywood's most famous and engaging attractions, like the Walk of Fame, the Pantages Theater and Hollywood/Highland. It's also within walking distance of many conveniences that will make living in this home so much better than staying in a hotel: restaurants, cafes and coffeehouses, most of the major banks, health clubs, the amazing Arclight movie theater, shopping, nightclubs and many more.
Plus, the central location of the property in Hollywood means guests are just ten-minute drive from great destinations, including world-famous tourist attractions like the Universal Studios and Griffith Park; well-known walk neighborhoods like West Hollywood and Silverlake; and some great local secrets like Larchmont Blvd. and Sunset Junction.
This unit does not include garage parking. Renters are encouraged to street park in this lovely neighborhood as long as they obey the parking restrictions posted on city signs.

The stars seem to be aligning over Chesterfield, as a string of winning lottery tickets totaling $1.4 million have been bought in the county. The big jackpot, a $1 million Powerball winner, hasn't yet been claimed.
The winning $1 million ticket was bought at the Food Lion at 1100 Courthouse Road for the Saturday drawing. The winning numbers for that drawing were 14-18-28-29-57 and the Powerball number 8. This ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Powerball number.
The winner still has 180 days from the drawing date to claim the prize.
Two other prizes have already been claimed. Brent Smith bought a Queen of Hearts ticket from the Lucky's store in Woodlake and won the top prize of $125,000.
"I scratched the ticket, then I double and triple and quadruple-checked it," he said.
Anh N. Nguyen of Chesterfield also hit a jackpot, using her birthday and the hour she bought her ticket to play the Mega Millions. She bought her ticket at the 7-Eleven at 6131 Jefferson Davis Highway in Richmond. She matched the first five numbers, but missed the Mega Ball. Still, she won $250,000.

If you were trying to download more mapping for Nokia Maps you would get this error if this application was open or you might have chosen to save messages to memory card for example.

Just purchase 3 Lumina 822 Windows phone under Verizon. 2 of the phones have the following problem, the 3rd operates fine.
Connecting to any laptop, have tried several Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, the phone is shown in the file manager tree as "Windows Phone", but nothing showing underneath. Spoke with Verizon support, tried soft reset - no change. Then tried hard reset, after reset, the laptop can see all the folders under the phone, i.e. photos, videos, documents, etc...., but all folders are empty underneath, even though there are files in these folders. Disconnecting and reconnecting the usb cable results in the folders going away. If I try to copy/paste a file into the phone directory, he complains with "Cannot copy item, The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" even though the cable is connected.
Verizon contacted Nokia, no bulletins out on this issues, even though I have 2 of 3 phones with same symptoms. Told to return to Verizon for a new phone.
I have a strong, compelling reason to stay with Windows phones and I'd REALLY like to have some confidence that the next phone will work, but am hesitant to a) pick up 2 new Nokia Lumina 822s and b) keep the 3rd working phone, in fear of the same symptoms occuring. The main reason for staying Windows is I've gone Windows 8 on a couple new HP Envy X2s and would like a seamless setup and sharing.
Please tell me that I'm not the first one to experience this issue, or you will work directly with me to help resolve. Let's face it, not being able to connect through USB is a showstopper, kinda self-defeating to seamless isn't it? I've invested now into Nokia, I hope you will invest the time with me.
Verizon's only other option currently, is the HTC Windows phone.
Please help soon.

Our good friend and SF-based producer Justin Martin made his very first release on dirtybird records in 2005. Seven years later, he delivers his long-awaited debut artist album with the very same smile and fun loving attitude he's had since the beginning. "Ghettos & Gardens" is exactly as advertised – a tender and tough collection of songs that build you up with sweeping strings, then break you down with earth shattering basslines. It's sunsets vs. cyclones, roses vs. razors, and bunny rabbits vs. wolverines.
Maybe it's the streets of San Francisco that made his music this way – a place where you can see a beautiful woman and a crippled homeless addict on the same city block. Maybe it's the juxtaposition of the famous dirtybird Golden Gate park parties, where Justin's loving parents make tacos and chop fresh salsa while total freaks lose their minds in front of the massive sound system. Not a whole lot of producers are just as influenced by E40 as they are by LTJ Bukem, and even fewer of them played the jazz saxophone in high school.
Whatever is going on, most people would say that Justin is one of the most charismatic likable DJs to walk the earth. In this album Justin demonstrates his unique ability to blur the lines between musical genres, taking us through beautiful melodies, UK basslines, moody funk and devastating drops. You can hear the meticulous produc- tion techniques in every track – from the slow Hip-Hop style of Hood Rich to the heavy duty low-end of Molokini. The whole thing is fresh and uplifting like the smell of ozone after a lightning strike. Ghettos & Gardens sounds like nothing else out there – it could not have come from anyone but Justin Martin.

London-based house producer Maya Jane Coles has been quickly climbing to the top of the House Music world, and for good reason; from remixing A-list artists from Little Dragon and MK, to being hailed as "breakthrough DJ of 2011" by Pete Tong, to contributing to institutions like BBC's Essential Mix, her rise to prominence has been well-earned, and not to mention, impressive to watch. Recently, the pint-sized power-house released her first commerical mix CD for DJ-Kicks.
"I wanted [the DJ Kicks mix] to showcase my diversity," says Coles. "I don't just do one thing and I wanted it to reflect that. Most of the mixes I've put out there so far have been house based, but I also produce stuff under the Nocturnal Sunshine monicker, which is more two-step/bass influenced stuff. This mix evolved into something that wasn't just four-to-the-floor.
This eclectic mix is a contemplative journey through a multitude of tracks that span across the sonic landscape, enticing you with pretty trilling chimes, rumbling basslines and everything in between. Starting out with the muted synth chords and broken post-garage beats of 'Loqux & Past' by Deft, the mix gradually acquires a more rhythmic weight, care of tracks such as 'In My Cocoon' by Bozwell. Coles's own 'Not Listening' is a driving cut built on a pounding yet melodic groove and exclusive to this DJ-Kicks mix. Another Coles exclusive, 'Meant To Be', (this time in her Nocturnal Sunshine guise) marks the transition to a more shuffle-y, two-step-influenced passage. Coles' 22-track mix is genre-spanning, and yet, is unified by the earthy and hyper-sensory sound that has brought Coles to the heights at which she now stands.
As this mix proves, Maya Jane Coles is a true source of heat and light in an otherwise over-saturated, dreary musical landscape. Since Coles' star is only just beginning to peak up over the horizon, we know we can expect more of her light to shine upon us in the near future – especially since she is currently in the process of making a full-length album! We can't wait :) Don't miss Maya on her world tour!

Meet Shiny Objects. His unique blend of deep, techy house will distract you from all things in your life that are not fabulous. With tracks full of fat basslines and splashes of disco, his music will shine like a mirrorball on the dancefloor. The San Francisco native has been making music since 1994 and is the founder of the nu-disco label "Smoke n' Mirrors." His newest single "Just Fabulous" drops today exclusively on Beatport.
The release features the track "Just Fabulous" and three diverse remixes from producers whose unique sounds span the aural landscape. The original track will seduce you with its sexy, deep bassline and dark vocals that never let you forget just how "sensational" you really are. The luscious synths build gradually and are accented with dreamy trills and a dash of afro flavor; this loungey, airy vibe sets the perfect stage for a catchy 303 loop. Prepare to be lured to the dance floor.
The Eats Everything remix takes the original even deeper and with it's super-low Bristolian bassline. Eats brings his own distinctive sound to the track with high-hats that snap and clap over some ultra-funky, bouncing bass. Even the "just fabulous" acapella gets special focus from this UK producer.
Thugfucker, one of the vanguards of the 'new deep house' movement, bring you an appropriately deep'n'dark version of the original, whose relentlessly thumping bassline is countered by subtle, glittering chord progressions. This remix takes "Just Fabulous" deep underground, rubs it raw, and delivers it back to us in a package that is, well, just fabulous!
The Adnan Sharif remix jets the original into the stratosphere, pitching the track up for a little inter-stellar energy boost. As the original bassline grooves it's way through a chamber of echoes and filters, a lone Spanish guitar plucks out the main hook, adding some serious Latin spice to the original.
San Francisco's Miguel Migs is a man of many, many talents. A respected house DJ, producer, musician, and remixer and even ambassador for Absolute Vodka, Migs has worked with some of the biggest names in popular music, including Britney Spears, Macy Gray, and Lionel Ritchie, and still finds time to produce his own solo material.
Soon to be released are the remixes of his single "Tonight", taken from his highly acclaimed 'Outside the Skyline' album. The "Tonight" remix treatments showcase the sublime and delicate vocals of Meshell Ndegeocello with a tasty array of quality interpretations from Crazy P, Fred Everything, James Dexter and Wildkats.
• Crazy P drops a funky filtered bassline accentuated by a lush and moody breakdown section, layering warm pads and subtle horn stabs.
• Fred Everything brings the deep house heat catering respectfully to Meshells dreamy vocal with layers of smooth and effective chords.
• James Dexter stays true to the original version by using the main ingredients while giving it a more accessible, deep-disco dance floor appeal.
• Wildkats explore a darker, more stripped-down dimension on their rework by flipping the timing of the vocal pocket while a squelching bassline fills in the gaps.
Release date: May 15, 2012

Marques Wyatt, a seminal pioneer of Deep House music, is an integral artist on the Om Records roster. In the mid '90s, at a time when the shape shifting of house music was rarely heard outside Chicago and New York, Marques introduced the East coast sound to his native Los Angeles. In the ensuing years, his prowess as a talented DJ, promoter, and producer earned him recognition as one of the most sought-after artists in the genre, domestically and internationally.
In 1998, he began organizing epic weekly parties culminated in his weekly institution, "Deep," which continues to thrive today as an internationally esteemed sanctuary for house music lovers. Several of the finest musicians have performed at "Deep," such as: Timmy Regisford of Shelter, David Morales, Ben Watt of Everything but the Girl, Dimitri from Paris, Mark Farina, Miguel Migs, and of course Louie Vega, who plays multiple times per year. Marques uses the vast popularity of the event as a springboard for charity and social awareness via DeepCares, a non-profit division of "Deep" that organizes and sponsors purpose-driven events benefiting different facets of local and global communities.
Channeling a spiritual depth cultivated through meditation, prayer and yoga practice, Marques continues to spread the gospel of house music as an evangelist of music and "Deep" culture by globe-trotting everywhere from Los Angeles to New York, Shanghai to Barcelona and Tel Aviv to Dubai with the mission to bring musical unity and light to all souls in his pathway. This Om:cast was recorded live from a recent "Deep" show held in San Francisco.
Crazy P is viewed as one of the best live dance acts around and have been since they formed back in 1996. Their new album 'When We On' is being hailed by many critics as their best yet. Voted "Best Dance Album" by iTunes and hailed as "one of the albums of the year" by Mixmag, 'When We On' sees Crazy P blending their love of the dancefloor with beautifully crafted songs – all of which they recently brought to Koko's gorgeous stage just this past March.
We are delighted to announce that the British dance band recorded their live performance at Koko and will be releasing it as a CD, titled 'When We Live.' This recording is an exclusive collector's item with only a limited number being released and each CD being uniquely numbered. So, don't miss out on your chance to own this little piece of music history!
"Ghettos & Gardens" is the first single from Justin Martin's debut artist album on dirtybird records. The title describes the way this track rises up with beautiful sweeping melodies, almost to the point where you want to kiss the person next to you. But this epic euphoria can only last so long- it peaks with a bassline so tough, it'll push you down a staircase, and then steal your bus pass.
"Hood Rich" starts with a cascade of voices tumbling over each other, clamoring for attention on the way to the club. Those bold proclamations give way to the melodious tones of a string ensemble that would be welcome in Yo-Yo Ma's living room. And that's just the first minute. All niceties aside, a hive of bass bees smashes against the far wall and explodes, leaving no doubt that every booty will be dropping like DAMN.

What can you say about the Baltimore Orioles that hasn't been said in the past decade? The once proud franchise home to greats such as Jim Palmer and Cal Ripken Jr. has turned sour. Whose fault is it? The owner, Peter Angelos, has to take the brunt of the blame and I think O's fans are in agreement. Angelos has undermined much of the progress Baltimore made with bad hirings and firings. It's sad to see such a rich franchise be torn apart by one person who would rather see their pockets lined with gold than field a winning ball club, which as a result could inevitably line their pockets with even more gold.

In early April, the official christening of Great American Ball Park, the new home for major league baseball's Cincinnati Reds, was a chance to showcase the unique features and fine details of the new $290 million ballpark. One of the more popular features is a recreation of a paddleboat, complete with 20-25'-high smoke stacks, that stands just beyond right-center field. The paddleboat's smokestacks, officially known as the Pepsi Power Stacks, erupt in a celebration of vapor after home runs, outstanding plays, and victories. The special effect has elicited enthusiastic reviews from fans.
Capital Manufacturing was contracted to develop the new "home run effect" and contacted Entertainment Services Group Inc. (ESG) of Allentown, PA, to provide the celebratory blasts of smoke. ESG supplied a Jem Roadie X-Stream, a powerful high-output smoke machine, along with a Martin LightJockey control system. Installation of the Roadie was completed by Capital.
Bob Schermerhorn, vice president of sales at ESG, worked together with Martin's Southeast regional sales manager Jamey Brock. Schermerhorn was responsible for programming and acted as a consultant on the project. He commented, "We have been working with Capital Manufacturing for some time now. When Brandon Bennett, Capital's project manager, called and explained the project to me, I told him we had the perfect solution for the project. The Roadie X-Stream was the only choice.
"When it came to control the system, it had to be able to simultaneously execute a number of different looks for a pre-determined amount of time, and be simple to operate," Schermerhorn continues. "Martin once again had the perfect solution, LightJockey. And, by integrating the touch screen into the system, control could not get any easier." The PC-based LightJockey controller operated via a touchscreen controls the keyed output from the Roadie, releasing bursts of smoke when prompted. Smoke is channeled to fill each stack and then assisted out by a blower. Once the Roadie finishes emitting smoke, the blower continues until the smoke is cleared from the stacks.
The LightJockey also controls LED illumination on the smokestacks, as well as LED and neon illumination on each arm of the paddlewheel, a chasing neon effect that makes the wheel look as if it is rotating. As an added effect, a blanket of mist, also LightJockey controlled, emanates from the deck of the paddleboat onto the crowd below.

LOOK Kéo Blade Chromoly Road PedalsLusting after the vaunted Kéo Blade road pedal -- but not prepared to pony up for its premium price tag? Then maybe the Kéo Blade Chromoly pedals will appeal to you. As you've no doubt guessed from the name, these pedals feature chromoly spindles instead of titanium. That adds a mere 20g per pedal, but reduces the price of the pair by an entire Benjamin. Not a bad tradeoff, considering they still come in at 115g per pedal, have the same wide and stable carbon platform as the original titanium version and feature two roller bearings and one needle bearing for silky-smooth performance.
- Larger platform than standard Keo pedal for greater stability and power transfer efficiency

That's some statement considering the talent the United manager has witnessed, but his finest servant to date, Ryan Giggs, believes Jones will be "outstanding" for years to come.
The 21-year-old's display in the heart of United's defence against Aston Villa was another excellent showing at centre-back. Jones has also featured at right-back and in central midfield in his short Reds career, but Giggs viewed Monday's accomplished display as a spoiler for the path the youngster's career will ultimately take.
"He was outstanding tonight," Giggs told Sky Sports. "Phil is one of those players who's that good he can play midfield or right-back, but I think tonight you've seen his position. Every time he plays at centre-half he's outstanding."
In just two seasons at Old Trafford, Jones has sampled searing highs and sapping lows, and Giggs says the former Blackburn Rovers defender will benefit from a well-rounded education.
"He's such a young lad, that he'll only get better and better, and experiences like last year and this year will help him," said the 39-year-old. "Disappointment can also help you in some ways. There are a lot of young players in there who have learned from last season and have gone on and played really well consistently this season, which is hard for a young player."

Wednesday is 2012 National Signing Day, when high school recruits announce their commitments to their chosen schools and sign their letters of intent.
The complete coverage of National Signing Day begins at 9:00 a.m., ET on ESPNU. One of the players that will be appearing, but not signing, is Mario Edwards Jr. The 6'4" defensive tackle from Denton, TX is ranked No. 3 overall in the class of 2012 and first in his position by Rivals.
Edwards is not expected to be signing because both he and his father are adamant that his mind is made up and his commitment to the Florida St. Seminoles is set in stone. Edwards' early appearance during the morning will set the tone for ESPN's theme that the Seminoles have a chance to leave National Signing Day as this year's biggest winner where recruitment is concerned.

I know this is somewhat late. But I'm one of those Spurs fans who takes losses such as these very hard. I have to forget about it for a few days and then get back to what went wrong.
So here's my take on Game 6 and why the Spurs are not playing in the NBA Finals this year:
Aside from the terrible foul calls and no calls that went against the Spurs in the 4th, there were a whole host of mistakes the Spurs made, and because of those you could say that we deserved to lose. They should have never been in in the situation of a close game in the 4th where they could have been hurt so bad by generous calls, no-calls, and Derek Fisher three pointers.
Game 6 should not have even been close going back to the early part of the 4th quarter.
Here are my two biggest gripes.
1. Defense
A lack of discipline on defense. Way too many mental mistakes. OKC got all of this credit and praise for maturing as a team and being the "young guns," beating the Spurs with their youth and energy. But the truth is, that the Spurs could have easily won the series by playing smarter, more disciplined defense. In my opinion that's more of a failure of the Spurs to do something that they should have done. Secondly, from a coaching standpoint, I was upset to see Neal and Leonard getting the minutes that they did in the 4th quarter. Neal is a defensive liability. And Leonard is a rookie. If you know that on offense you are going to get the ball in the hands of Duncan and Parker then you really don't need guys like Neal on the floor at a time when defensive stops are crucial. I hope the coaching staff learns from this one. As for Leonard, I was surprised to see a rookie on the floor while the Spurs season was on the line. I suppose that says something about the lack of defensive depth. It wouldn't have hurt so bad for me to watch Diaw or dare I say, even Bonner, getting outplayed by OKC since they are veterans. The last thing I want to see is a rookie and a relatively young player like Neal making mental mistakes. In my judgement, Bonner is actually more disciplined and fundamentally sound on defense than he's given credit for. And I think that's come as a result of experience.
But back to the lack of discipline of defense. This is something that we have seen throughout the year from the Spurs and I would say it's been by far the most frustrating thing to watch. The Spurs teams of old had way better discipline. These Spurs help way too much on defense and thus get burned for easy buckets. It's usually wide open 3's or layups/dunks inside. Neal and Duncan were the culprits I saw most often in Game 6. Neal has no business trying to help against Kevin Durant down under the basket. He shouldn't have been sagging so far off of his man who was standing in the corner. In fact, he should have stayed very tight, so as to prevent the offensive player from having the option to pass out to the corner. In that case, we would have had a couple of bad shots resulting in misses or turnovers, and they may have turned into transition buckets on offense. But instead, Neal and Duncan were too anxious to help, left his man for a quick second, and we got burned by corner threes from Sefolosha and Fisher. It was either that or high percentage shots inside. I really don't think OKC would have scored a ton of points if the Spurs players would have played more disciplined and stuck with their assignments.
I know everyone wants to be sportsmanlike and give credit to OKC for hitting so many shots on offense and closing out the series. But I don't look at it that way, and I don't think it's because I'm a sore loser. I first look at all of the Spurs mental errors on defense as allowing OKC to play so well on offense. Clean up those errors and then let's see how many points they score against us.
2. Offense
Not as much to say here. My biggest gripe was that Tony should have attacked more right off the dribble in the 4th quarter. Eventually he did, but by then it was too late (thanks to some tough calls). I think there were several situations were waiting for the pick and roll actually gave OKC an advantage, because it allowed them to set up their help defense. Parker should have been more aggressive by attacking immediately whoever was guarding him, going straight to the basket. He has a quickness advantage over everyone on OKC. So in the future, I hope he decides to just take over and be aggressive late in games. He can't be afraid and he can't be too unselfish. He has to play like he does when he's mad. When Manu's not having a great game, the Spurs need Tony to keep the defense on their heels. In fact, when you do that late in games on the road, it can really deflate the home team and carry over to poor shot selection when they try to immediately respond on offense. Tony really should have scored +40 points like he did against OKC in the regular season, after he was mad about not being added to the All-Star team. Then it would have been a different story going to a Game 7 back in S.A. What I saw in Game 6 was nice guy, team player Tony. I think if he had the green light and would have taken it, the Spurs would have prevailed in spite of the terrible defense. Instead we watched Manu heaving up 3's late in the shot clock, Tony taking outside shots completely out of rhythm, and other guys trying to create their own shot which sometimes resulted in either turnovers, misses and transition buckets . Tony, just attack the paint all game long especially as soon as you bring the ball up the court. The Spurs will not only win more games, but they will have fewer games that are close.
That's all I really have to say about Game 6. I don't see it like media pundits described it, that the Spurs were simply outplayed by OKC. The Spurs played like it was an elimination game, shooting lights out (over 50%) in the first half of Game 6. They should have won. But they blew it with so many mistakes on the defensive end in the 2nd half. I hope they learn from watching film on this series. Sometimes it's the mental mistakes that can make or break a series. That's what I saw here.
I know that a new season will bring new changes no matter what. But I'm not reading into anything about the Spurs having to make huge changes or acquisitions. They have a good enough team to win another championship. They just need to learn from their mistakes and to not repeat them.
With a heavy heart but a clearer mind,

Spring-run steelhead can be difficult to catch in rivers when flows run high and dirty.
During springtime, stocked trout in lakes and reservoirs can be found fairly shallow, feeding in the upper 10 to 15 feet of the water column.
Stream trout feed more selectively than many gamefish. Whatever big trout are feeding on, whether it's insect larvae or minnows, it's important to use a presentation that looks and moves like the real thing.
Trout move deeper in the water column to seek out cool water as summer sets in and surface waters warm.
Steelhead make fall runs in certain tributaries to the Great Lakes. Their movement patterns and habitats change with river conditions.
On larger lakes like the Great Lakes, trout move shallow where shorecasters can target them with spoons and swimbaits. Good areas to fish include mouths of tributary rivers, points, and other access areas like piers.
Tailraces below reservoirs can provide some of the best fishing for lots of big trout. Big browns migrate upstream and concentrate below dams during their annual spawning run.
Nighttime can be one of the best times to target big browns in tailrace fisheries of the South. Big browns are less spooky at night, moving out of heavy cover into areas easily approached and fished.
Winter is a fantastic time to catch big lake trout through the ice. This type of fishing often requires mobility as it can take quite a bit of searching to find active lakers.
Trout, browns, brookies, and rainbows are coldwater species, so they like cold water and remain active under ice cover.
