New Ideas for Old Furniture
Here's good news for those of you on a budget – or for anyone who wants a new look without the price tag that goes along with it – you can get "new" furniture without paying hefty, new furniture prices. The trick is to know how to refresh the furniture you have, keep a sharp eye out for good quality used or "junk" furniture and just to look at things in a new way.
From Old to Chic
The minute I got off the phone with Kelley Taylor, founder of Creating Home Decor.com and author of Hol iday Decorating for Dummies (For Dummies, 2003), I tried one of her suggestions. A friend, who was consolidating for a move into a smaller house after her youngest child left for college, had given me a small cupboard that had been in her family for years. It had beautiful lines but was painted an ugly, dull brown. Following Taylor's advice, I spray-painted it white, let it dry, lightly sanded it in a few places and – voila! – my new "shabby chic" cupboard holds napkins and paper plates in the dining room and never fails to get compliments.
Since I'm no decorator, or even particularly talented in that area, if I can do it, anyone can. Taylor suggests the spray paint as a super-quick method, but says furniture can also be painted with a brush, although she recommends the top coat be done with a sponge brush to minimize paint lines. Taylor highly recommends painting furniture to give it a new look.
"Paint works so well to create an accent piece," she says. "If something has good bones but is just ugly, paint that one piece, and it can give a fresh look to an entire room. Spray paint is nice because it's quick, gets into all the cracks and crevices and is instant decorating gratification."
If you don't want the "shabby chic" look, lightly sand the piece first, and make sure the surfaces are clean and dry. Apply a primer first, then paint. For "shabby chic," skip the initial sanding step and the primer step, and sand lightly afterward.
For a nicer piece of furniture, refinishing is always an option, but Taylor points out that refinishing is something that can't be done in a day and should be researched before attempting.
Slip-on Style
Even upholstered pieces, such as sofas and chairs, can be given a new look without spending a lot of time or money. Slipcovers to fit almost any style of furniture, including recliners, can be purchased online or at virtually any department store. You can even make your own easy slipcovers for a fresh look. Taylor says you don't need talent, just a big piece of cotton duck or painter's canvas in a neutral color (available at home improvement stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot). They are very inexpensive, washable, durable and can even be dyed, although Taylor likes neutral colors. Once you get it home, throw it over the couch, tuck in the corners and put a few ties on it like ribbons.
"Within about an hour you have a new slipcover that will last forever," Taylor says. "For $7 to $20, it's worth trying your hand at."
Along the same lines, Kathleen Wilson, editor of The Budget Decorator, says any large piece of fabric, such as a bedspread or sheet, can be converted into a no-sew slipcover – a good idea if a print is what you're looking for. Wilson notes that for those with a bit more talent, there are many patterns available – requiring varying levels of skill – that can be sewn for a more tailored look.
"Once the cover itself is updated, add color with toss pillows and throws to tie your look in with the rest of the room," Wilson says.
A couple of years ago, I took my husband to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to see the John Lennon exhibit. To this day, he still talks about John and Yoko's cool bed – a large mattress with old church pews for headboards and footboards. He spent quite a bit of time crawling around it as best he could (while still obeying the "keep back" ropes) to see how the mattress was supported. His goal is to someday have one like it.
You don't have to be an artistic legend to come up with creative ideas to use non-furniture items as furniture – or as different furniture than it was intended to be. Along the lines of the Lennon/Ono church pew idea, a mattress can be supported between two diner seats for a very funky, retro look. Or, says Wilson, do away with headboards altogether and perch the mattress on a wooden base. Make it any height you like, and paint it any color your heart desires.
Marney Makridakis, co-author of a collection of decorating e-books available at Home Decorating Made Easy, says the "shabby chic" movement is what really has gotten people thinking about interesting alternatives to furniture. One of her favorite looks is stacking old hard-sided suitcases for a bedside table. These can be purchased for almost nothing at flea markets and yard sales.
"The whole 'shabby chic' trend is about seeing things in different ways, like a door on top of a block to make a table," Makridakis says. "We want to create something very comfortable that's also different."
For other table ideas, Wilson suggests stacked books topped with glass, birdbaths or even painted chests in lieu of coffee tables.
Buying (Nearly) New
So now you're inspired, but you don't have anything old to paint, cover or stack. Don't buy new; buy old. Check the classified section of the newspaper, flea markets, used furniture stores, Goodwill-type stores and yard sales. What you're looking for is not necessarily junk, nor is it expensive antiques, but something in between, such as the cupboard my friend gave me. You don't want to pay too much, because this is something you want to play with – paint or stencil – but you don't want something that's falling apart either.
"You want to make sure the piece is in good structural shape," Wilson says. "Almost anything that is cosmetic can be camouflaged, but structural issues can be more expensive to fix than what you paid for the piece."
Wilson also has good advice if you need a bunch of furniture right now: Invest in one really good piece. "Spend a few extra dollars on one really great piece, then use budget furniture to fill in the room until you can afford more," she says. "That one piece can carry a whole room if you make it a focus, and the less expensive pieces will fade into the background."
Although, if you use the above tips, you may not want those pieces to fade away at all.

Taming Global Capitalism Anew

Taming Global Capitalism Anew
Taming Global Capitalism Anew
The Nation
[from the April 17, 2006 issue]
One of the greatest achievements of the twentieth century was a social contract that provided far more economic security and prosperity for working Americans than had existed in any previous period. But successive waves of changes in the world economy, together with the ascendancy of a strain of economic philosophy that puts the freedom of capital above the interests of society, have placed enormous strain on the postwar social contracts of all Western countries, resulting in stagnating wages, greater insecurity and levels of income and wealth inequality not seen since the early 1900s. And even more far-reaching challenges arising from the current pattern of globalization, with its emphasis on the outsourcing of service as well as manufacturing jobs, may lie ahead.
Developing a strategy for taming global capitalism anew therefore constitutes the overriding challenge of our time. For that reason, we have invited some of the leading progressive thinkers in this country and a longtime observer of the American economy to offer their ideas on how the United States, as the major capitalist country and the major player in globalization, could reshape both capitalism and globalization in ways that build a new social contract serving the needs of working people everywhere.

Goshen News
---- — A step in the right direction has been taken to modernize Indiana's election process.
Wednesday, a day after just 15 percent of Goshen Community Schools voters went to the polls to decide a $17.15 million building project, Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson announced that state officials will begin certifying companies who want to provide electronic poll books. Those books are where the names and addresses of registered voters are kept. It's crucial that such books contain the most current information and also be totally accurate, so certification of software and hardware used for those books makes good sense.
THIS LATEST MOVE toward modernization has us remembering that it was only a few years ago that scanning machines became a part of the vote tallying process. Those machines are still in use in Elkhart County and are the reason vote totals are known just a couple hours after polls close. When those machines were adopted for use, they were the latest, greatest gizmos in vote counting. They remain reliable, but they are out-dated technology.
The county now has at least one more modern touch-screen voting machine in each precinct during elections. Those machines have become popular because they allow election boards to meet the requirements of federal legislation that mandates handicapped voters be allowed to vote without assistance. Those machines can be configured for such voters, but they can also be used by everyone. Election officials said that in Tuesday's election, the touch-screens were popular at polls at Shanklin Park and Greencroft.
VOTES FROM THE SCANNING and touch-screen machines are stored on memory cards, which are then processed on a computer at the county's vote-counting center. The process is quick, accurate and provides details about turnout and voting percentages.
We think that vote centers using electronic poll books and touch-screen voting machines would be an improvement over the current system and also save taxpayers money. Instead of having to staff 117 precinct polling locations, as is done now in Elkhart County primary and general elections, the county might have as few as 20 vote centers. And a big plus in countywide elections would be that voters could go to the nearest center to vote and not have to travel back to their neighborhood precinct. That convenience might lure those people who say they can't get away from work to take a few minutes of their lunch time to cast a ballot.
VOTE CENTERS offer a lot of positives for Indiana voters and we encourage the Elkhart County Election Board to continue to investigate if such centers are a good fit here. We think that by combining existing technology with fewer polling places, the voting process will become simpler, quicker and less expensive. Let's move ahead.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Power officials say employee errors led to an explosion that rocked Plant Bowen in northwest Georgia.
Georgia Power spokesman Mark Williams told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday that (http://bit.ly/13Q4IB3 ) an internal investigation revealed employees at the coal-fired plant near Cartersville failed to comply with procedures and didn't follow communications protocols. The explosion happened as workers were shutting down a unit for maintenance.
Williams didn't elaborate on which specific protocols were breached, but says that led to the plant having a combustible mix of hydrogen and air in a generator.
The early April explosion left three people injured and prompted an investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The federal investigation is not yet complete and no disciplinary action has been taken.

Really? Okay, there may be some new Android phones coming out, but let's not forget the other platforms. The iPhone may just blow us away again, regardless of how many of you think Android is so superior. You love your backgrounding and open-source? Notice the iPhone doesn't have speed issues or viruses, you dolts. Actually, the Blackberry platform isn't terrible (not great either), everyone knows that WM blows, and well, I suppose WebOS is gaining some attention lately. Only the new year will tell.
I've got an Eris in my pocket, and don't get me wrong, I love Android (though I'm stuck on 1.5 for the time being), but you people can be so elitist sometimes. Step off your pedestals and take a walk on the dark side.
Anyways, happy new year, and let 2.1 reign supreme as soon as humanly (or robotically) possible!
Digital Jedi says:
The only one who seems to be stuck on a high horse here is you. In fact, your head must be high up your horses' ass if you think the IPhone doesn't have speed problems or viruses. Seriously, you must be smoking something serious or just a plain idiot to make a statement like that... The sheer stupidity of some people... Take a look around the web and see all of the problems the iphone has. Then come back and apologize.
Happy New Year

Dude.. Ur on an android forum.. Don't be an a*#!! I hate people that take the time to write a post just to talk crap about the platform that is supported on the site ur on.. If you like an IPhone so much.. Get one and waste ur life somewhere else. :)

RJ Fellows
Learning & Leadership for a Changing World
The RJ Fellows Program is an evolving learning community that includes the following educational activities:
First-Year Seminar
The First-Year Seminar during the first semester of freshman year introduces the RJ Fellows to the work of critically exploring change through readings and activities. Students intensively analyze, interpret, and discuss academic and social issues, thereby developing tools to identify, conceptualize, and meaninfully encounter the many manifestations of change in the world.
In addition, the RJ Fellows FYS is a service-learning course. Students interact with and participate in a variety of community settings, and use their experiences as a starting point to analyze the dynamics of change on a community-wide scale. In the process, students recognize the possibilities and limits of their role as agents of change.
RJ-Designated Courses
Between freshman and senior year, RJ Fellows must take at least three RJ-designated courses. These are generally interdisciplinary, and fulfill other College requirements.
For a list of current and past RJ courses, please visit the RJ Course List Page.
Culminating Undergraduate Experience (CUE)
This senior seminar serves as a culminating experience for the years of change-oriented learning that the RJ Fellows have undertaken.
In addition, the CUE serves as a space for RJ Fellows to reflect on their previous course and research experiences, and to develop a presentation based on this work to be presented at the annual RJ Fellows Senior Symposium.
Annual RJ Fellows Senior Symposium
Senior RJ Fellows present their work and interests in a formal setting to the RJ and campus community. RJ Fellows play a leading role in planning & organizing the symposium.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine May 2007.
The Belgian White Ale has become popular enough to lead some of the biggest brewers to come up with their own. A-B sticks to a spring seasonal format, though they could easily sell this year-round, but for the pigeonholing name.
Cloudy pale yellow in color, with a thin layer of yeast that sticks around for awhile. Even after swirling the bottle, there is still some sediment left at the bottom.
A bucket-load of soft coriander with a twang of orange peel and mealy grain. Heavy crispness shows off a velutinous mouthfeel and moderate body. Citric tartness and thick coriander notes engulf the taste buds. Hint of black pepper is pursued by an ever-so-pungent orange peel blast. A bit watery in the finish, with a quick dropout of malt and a clean aftertaste.
Not a bad stab at the style, but it doesn't stand as tall as the rest within the Belgian White Ale style. A thin slab of aged goat cheddar with water crackers and orange marmalade made for a great pairing.

Didn't know this one was retired... so I guess it was in my cellar for longer than I thought.
This beer produced a one finger head atop a yellow body. It was somewhat hazy, with visible floaters. The head was rather fizzy and dissipated quickly.
Aroma was pretty good. I got some spiciness, as expected. There was also a doughiness and some biscuity malt in there, along with some sweetness. Wheat was noticeable. It also smelled somewhat tangy... perhaps it was down there too long?
Taste started with some apples and pepperiness. Wheat malt quickly took over. However, whereas the small was nice, the flavor just did not deliver. It was quite bland.
Mouthfeel was thin and watery. I know wheat beers aren't supposed to be heavy, but this had no body to speak of.
Drinkability is average. Better than AB's regular fare, and I'm glad I got to try it (albeit late), but I am not disappointed that it's gone.

I had this as part if a mixed sizer someone brought over. It's not Spring...but I figured I might as well try it.
Pours a pretty hazy creamy-orange color. I swirled the last little bit to get the yeast sediment, and it gave everything a pretty nice head to boot.
Smells of wheat malt and mild citrus.
I was surprised to actually taste a crackery malt characteristic in this. Mild citrus zest, crackery malt, and a little bit of coriander.
This isn't world class, but it's not that bad.
I'm sure the anti-AB crowd will rail on it, but as a pale wheat beer (it's closer to that than a wit), it's okay.
I don't think I'd seek it out, but at places like chain restaurants that will carry this rather than a true craft offering, I'd have no issue ordering this again and enjoying it.

Interesting name got me intrigued during my night out with some friends, after a few stouts I wanted to end the night on a lighter note. This beer was served in a large glass. Fruity aroma with spicy notes it smelled wonderful. A nice vibrant yellow color with a splash of orange, there was a medium sized head that actually left decent lacing, strong carbonation rounded out a good appearance. Solid on the palate this wasn't thin and a crisp finish really capped this one. The flavor is mild and good. Lots of citrus and spice flavors. Not top of the line but it was a good find on draft. Surprisingly enough I had no clue that this is brewed by Anheuser-Busch, hats off to expanding your horizons beyond undrinkable swill.

Sampled this beer in an unfrosted mug at a local restaurant.
A: Very cloudy, almost looks like cloudy chicken broth in my mug. This is a definite switch from the usualy filtered, clear beers I'm used to.
S: I could smell the spice, but for the life of I can't equate in my mind what it could be. Smells quite nice though. I do smell some malt below the spice.
T: The taste was not bad at all. The malt came through, along with some hops and the so far unnamed spice. It all balanced nicely, making for a rather tasty brew.
M: Thin, but for a wheat beer, thin is about the norm from my experience
D: Is good. I like this style a whole lot.
This is quite a switch for Anheuser-Busch, and truth be known, is a rather nice switch from the usual fare. If I can find this outside of a restaurant, I will buy it!

Had a glass of this when I was staying in Joliet, Ill.
A: Pours an orange-amber body with minimal lacing. No head or retention of significance.
S: Slight hints of citrus in the smell, but nothing of great significance.
T: Hints of a citrus taste. More of an orange taste in the beginning with a grapefruit/lemony aftertaste. Reminded me of Blue Moon, but more watered down.
M: As noted above, this beer proved to be pretty watery. Also, seemed a little flat with the low carbonation.
D: A pretty drinkable beer, but that is mostly because I feel this beer lacks a little substance. A thicker mouthfeel and a better taste would have made it more drinkable overall, in my opinion.

Pours an extremely pale, soft-orange color. A little bit of head, but not much, and it leaves quickly.
I notice a few fruity notes and some souring astringents in the aroma.
Taste is quite bland. A few hints of oranges or something that points out that this is a wheat ale, but not many. More of a boring liquid corn starch or flour taste.
The mouthfeel is decent, a bit bigger than most a-b products, but definitly not the "belgain-style wheat ale" that the bottle claims it to be.
Drinkability is good. I could drink quite a few of these, and did, but I'm hoping that I never get stuck in that situation again.

Appearance: Hazy yellow brown, with a massive, persistent white head, a few fat, fast-rising bubbles, and scattered, broken lace.
Aroma: Mild aroma of coriander, bready yeast notes, and citrus peel.
Taste: Opens with a mild citrus peel note, followed by a wave of coriander, as the taste progresses, the mildly tart wheat malt comes into its own, towards the end of the taste, a restrained herbal hop bitterness appears. Finishes with just a hint of lingering bitterness.
Mouth feel: Smooth and full, quite pleasant.
Drinkability/notes: Considering that this is an Anheuser-Busch product, I was prepared to dislike it. All in all, though, it is pretty good. Clearly, A-B has the ability to make better beer when they choose to, its just not often that they do, alas.
Presentation: Packaged in a twelve-ounce brown glass longneck bottle with a twist-off cap, served in a standard pint tap glass.

Going off notes here for I bought thisone back in March, 07, when I first saw it. One of thoughs, oh ya, i'll get to that reviews.
It pours a hazy pale yellow. The head was full, lasting and laces pretty well. White in color.
The aroma was yeasty coriander
The taste shared that yeasty, citric and coriander purge. Other citric notes follow like orange peel and lime. A spiced malt background hinting of black-pepper.
The mouth finish is clean and crisp for this medium bodied brew though alittle watery toward the end, esp. if the beer warms of sets.
A good spring release, id most likely buy again, perhaps next March.

Appearance- A super cloudy and foamy beer. The head disappears slowly and evenly leaving a decent lace. Mostly an orange amber colored body.
Smell- The smell is a fruity biscuit type odor which I am still not sure if I liked or not. It was also pretty faint.
Taste- A lot blander than I was expecting. Some citrus tone but pretty weak. A very mild bitterness followed by spice. Ill have to give then their due at least they did not over spice it.
Mouthfeel- Marginally smooth and body consistency.
Drinkability- A middle of the road beer for a beer in its class but alright.

Poured with nice head that lasted for a while. I have to admit this was better than I thought it would be. I like witbiers and this wasnt to bad for an Anheuser-Busch product. Very cloudy appearance. Aroma was spicy wheat like Blue Moon. Mouthfeel was pretty decent. Not heinous like I anticipated.

Pours a lame duck yellow, slightly cloudy, with a good starting head and a bit of lacing. The aroma is a kind of funky mash of citrus, orange and lime mostly, some lemon too, some coriander. The lime is what gives it a neat twist. The taste started off good, but maybe I was expecting too little, or trying to be unbiased. Its just thin, weaker than the nose, the same characters coming in play, but watery in both feel and taste, and similarly the taste fades extremely quick. A good bit of carbonation is what saves the mouth feel, but it can't do anything with the taste, cause it needs work. Overall, pretty easy to drink, not bad tasting, but nothing all that serious.

Poured a cloudy deep straw hue with a one and a half finger creamy white head. There was good retention and good sticky lacing.
The smell featured an estery yeast with elements of orange and coriander. Nice wheat spice as well. It actually had a Fruit Loops like aroma.
The taste consisted of a spice wheat malt with a solid yeast presence. Varied citrus fruit flavors as well.
The mouthfeel was of average fullness with some good chewiness. There was a linering spiciness but a strange off aftertaste.
Overall a very impressive wit. I wish they would make this a year round offering. I would place this beer above Blue Moon and on slightly below Leine's Sunset Wheat. Very well done. Congratulations A-B.

This beer has some nice spice flavors with a good aroma. I think it actually tastes close to a micro brew. Pretty good for an Anheuser-Busch commercial product. Nice fruit flavor that doesn't overpower the beer. Next time spring comes around it's definitely worth a try.

House Minority Leader Tom Cross is asking House Republicans to come up with a succession plan as he prepares to step down from his leadership post and consider a higher statewide office.
Cross talked to House Republicans in a call Wednesday where he informed them he's considering a bid for state treasurer.
He says an official announcement about his campaign plans will come in two weeks.
Republicans informed of Cross's plan confirm he'll seek a bid for treasurer, including Republican state Sen. Darin LaHood. He once considered a bid for treasurer but is now backing Cross.
The 55-year-old Cross first took office in 1993. He's been House GOP leader since 2002.
In a statement, Cross says being a GOP leader has been an immense privilege and a humbling honor.

Assessment of global megatrends — an update
Most of these interactions are intimately linked and set to unfold over decades. All are likely to have important implications for living standards and well-being.
The European environment's status, trends and prospects have always depended in part on events outside its borders. Yet the growing importance of global networks and flows has augmented this interdependence, creating complex challenges for traditional governance systems framed within national or regional territories. To design effective ways to manage the environmental changes ahead, societies and governments need to understand the global drivers at work and their potential implications.
With this challenge in mind, the EEA in 2010 produced its first assessment of emerging global trends as part of its five-yearly flagship report on the European environment's state and outlook (SOER 2010). The exploratory analysis summarised 11 global megatrends grouped into five clusters — social, technological, economic, environmental and governance. Introducing the issues succinctly, it sought to trigger a discussion about how Europe should monitor and assess future changes in order to better inform environmental policymaking.
In preparation for its next report on the European environment's state and outlook (SOER 2015), the EEA has initiated an update of the assessment of global megatrends, analysing each of these drivers in a little more detail than previously in terms of their impacts on the European environment and well-being. During the second half of 2013 and 2014, the EEA is reassessing the 11 megatrends and publishing the updates separately on its website, via the links below. In 2014 the chapters will be consolidated into a single EEA technical report and will provide the basis for the analysis of megatrends included in SOER 2015.
1. Increasing global divergence in population trends
3. Disease burdens and the risk of new pandemics
4. Accelerating technological change: racing into the unknown — UPCOMING
6. From a unipolar to a multipolar world
7. Intensified global competition for resources
8. Growing demands on ecosystems
9. Increasingly severe consequences of climate change — UPCOMING
10. Increasing environmental pollution load
11. From government to governance — UPCOMING

peg tooth harrow mystery
I picked 2 of these units up with a batch of implements last month. can you identify?? pictures?
i don't have a use for them, so if anyone needs them they don't owe me much.
'If they're tappin', they're not burnin'
To start with....
This could be the Medieval version of a "bed" for your mother-in law. You must remember to have the spikes facing up for her proper comfort. The lever is for proper spiking elevations. (I'm kidding!). My real guess is that it is a drag of some sort for prepping land for lawn or grass seeding. Ok, gents, what is the real meaning of this?
Though trillions and trillions of eyes have been watching the skies for as long as human memory exists, no gods nor angels have been seen or documented outside of religion. The number of spaceships being sighted however has become much more prevalent.
In this area it's a "spike toothed" harrow. Used for seedbed preparation. The same use as a disk harrow - it breaks up the clods and evens the dirt. I'm not sure of the make or model of that one but the sections do intermesh and you could pull as many sections as you had power for.
There were also versions that mounted right onto the plow frames. The levers adjust the angle of the spike which determines basically how deep the harrow worked. Spikes angled back would ride up over the clods. Spikes that were vertical went deeper and pulled much harder.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Yup, that is what we call a Spike Tooth or Peg Tooth Harrow and it is used the same way as a Spring Tooth or a Disc Harrow. All will do a good job, but the Disc is much better.
They look very similar to a couple I have seen. By any chance is there a Diamond with M-H in it anywhere on the cast pieces? If so then they are Massey Harris harrows.
I have two spring tooth harrows as well as my disc harrow. They are nice to have. Ifn it was me, I would be keeping one at least..
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
i haven't found any markings on the units yet, certainly nothing obvious. how are they supposed to attach to the tractor.....chains
and i dont see any designed in feature to gang them together, although the PO thought it was a '2 gang peg tooth harrow for a cub'
although the MIL explanation is holding the lead here for explanations
'If they're tappin', they're not burnin'
Art, they were attached with chains or cables. If 2 units were ganged together a crossbar was added and each was chained to the bar and then the bar was connected to the drawbar with a chain or cable.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
I also, have two 4 ft. sections that can be ganged together. I used an
8 ft. long landscape timber that I got at the local Wal-Mart and drilled
four holes in it just where the side frame on the harrow line up. I then
took four eye bolts and put through the timber and connected the frame
to the eyebolt with quick screw links [like putting a log chain together].
Then I put about ten feet of chain on the harrow with each end of the
chain attached to the outer eyebolts.
This way when I want to harrow down a seed bed I can take one and and attach the chain to it and harrow. The two sections ganged together are
used on disk harrowed land or land which has been turned under with
the mouldboard plow to help smooth down prior to rowing up or disk
They also can come in handy in smoothing a loose gravel drive.
Hope this helps.
Mine has been out on loan for several years. I'll have to get it back soon to work on my long drive. It's best feature is the ability to loosen the top few inches and stir it up so the fines can help bind it all together. A spring tooth harrow also does a good job.

Welcome Cartilage Free Captain
SBNation has a Spurs blog! Yeah, I know it's Spurs, but we don't hate Spurs around here, right? Plus, it's clear from the opening sentence that Kevin McCauley isn't going to take himself too seriously, and those are the sort of blogs I love visiting, even if I don't support the team. So head on over and say hi, but don't taunt too much about their recent upsets. It's not like our record is much better.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The route climbs a very thin flake/crack with difficult entry moves. It is strenuous to protect taking Lowe Balls, RPs and small camming units. Once you turn the bulge the upper slab/crack eases significantly. There are no fixed anchors. The excellent initial moves are probably 11c once you figure them out but are a very hard flash for that grade.
Ms Fannie le Pump is located about 40 feet up and left of the Huston and Aid Crack buttress. It is the left of three cracks and is located in a steep, left-facing dihedral.

Being at stern of ship my cabin had an "emergency" door which led to second door opening to a small deck area. On good days and nights people were constantly passing through these doors with lots of door slamming. No rest there. One day in the afternoon I went to lie down and someone was making "repairs" somewhere with a sledge hammer. Went on for a fair time. Anyway, this curtailed my "catnap".
I don't smoke so could smell a lingering cigarette smoke smell as soon as I went in. This odor was reinforced when others smoked on their open verandahs. So I kept my door closed to keep smoke out.
The dining service was rather lax with very bland desserts the norm. Wine steward would take open wine bottle for safekeeping. Next evening at dinner this bottle couldn't be found. Finally I marked one of my own bottles in ink on the label and it did show up the next evening.
When leaving the ship at end of cruise the disembarkation process fell apart as there was a delay in getting the ship "cleared" by authorities. So my "time" for leaving the ship was at 9:00 am and so was everyone else. Big jamb of people made Canada Customs slow.
Holland American seems to want to get every last penny out of their customers. Bottled water in room was $3.95. Their is a "service charge" on all drinks except tea and coffee which are free in the Lido. The Explorations Cafe had special coffees and cookies etc. for a charge (nothing was free).
Internet service is slow but mostly usable unless satellite dish was blocked.

The thunder god of the Mortal Kombat universe, also known as Lord Raiden, is a protector of Earthrealm. Raiden commands many supernatural abilities such as the ability to teleport, control over lightning, and flight. As an immortal, he thinks in terms of eternity rather than normal human lifespans and his memories date back to the beginning of time itself. It is unlikely that Raiden can ever be truly killed. Even if his mortal form is destroyed, Raiden will rematerialize some time afterwards. He seeks to destroy anyone who tries to harm Earthrealm.

STATE of Washington, Respondent,
Gregory Lee Hyde, Appellant.
Court of Appeals of Washington,
Division III
No. 26315-1-III. March 23, 2010.
Reconsideration Denied April 23, 2010.
Shadan Kapri, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Stevens County Prosecutor's Office for Respondent Representing State of Washington.
Gordon R. Stoa, Attorney at Law, Spokane, WA, for Appellant.
Appeal from Stevens Superior Court; Honorable Rebecca M. Baker
Gregory L. Hyde appeals his first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping convictions. His trial was delayed for competency evaluations. While incarcerated, Mr. Hyde communicated with his attorney through "kites." He asked jail authorities to copy these "kites." Mr. Hyde contends (1) his speedy trial rights were violated, (2) his attorney-client privilege was violated, and (3) the trial court erred in not granting his late continuance request. Pro se, Mr. Hyde argues he did not consent to a competency evaluation. We find no error, and affirm.
The State charged Mr. Hyde with first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping, and arraigned him November 22, 2005. He waived speedy trial until February 6, 2006. On January 18, 2006, defense counsel, Paul Wasson, presented a proposed agreed order for an examination of Mr. Hyde at Eastern State Hospital (ESH). The court inadvertently checked the box related to a sanity evaluation instead of a competency evaluation on the order. The judge, however, "clearly understood that there was an issue of the defendant's competency to stand trial." Clerk's Papers (CP) at 731.
A. Speedy Trial
B. Attorney-Client Privilege
C. Continuance
FN1. Mr. Hyde contends he was denied effective assistance of counsel during Mr. Wasson's representation as well. To the extent this argument is outside his assignment of error that the court erred in denying Mr. Simeone's motion for a continuance, we do not reach this contention. See RAP 10.3(a)(4) (an appellant's assignment of error should be a "concise statement of each error a party contends was made").
D. Additional Grounds
WE CONCUR: KULIK, C.J., and KORSMO, J.
See Case HERE
Prosecutor's Note* Mr. Hyde appeals this ruling to the Supreme Court of Washington. The Supreme Court denied review of this case. Mr. Hyde will remain in prison for the duration of his prison sentence for first-degree kidnapping and rape.

Harris County Precinct 6 Constable Victor Treviño faces four felony indictments related to his political campaigns, his charity and the way he ran his constable's office.
Treviño has been charged with two counts of tampering with a government document, one count of abuse of official capacity and one count of misapplication of a fiduciary duty.
The latter charge is the most serious: a third-degree felony carrying a potential penalty of 10 years in prison. It is related to "improprieties in the handling of funds" for CARE, a non-profit organization operated by him, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Certified Public Accountant Bob Martin has seen the organization's tax returns. He told FOX 26 News the documents did not meet the IRS's minimum standards.
Beyond stating lump sums for revenues and expenses, Martin says there were precious few details about how the money was actually spent.
"There were checks that didn't have any backup receipts for them," Martin said. "They were just for lump sums and a lot of them were payable to a convenience store. It was very suspicious activity."
So where did the money go? Exactly where it was supposed to, says Victor Treviño's attorney, Chip Lewis.
"It was spent on all of the programs that he's provided for Precinct 6 since he took office, 24 years ago," said Lewis. "You'll notice in all the indictments there is not one allegation of personal enrichment."
Nevertheless, there are now calls for Victor Treviño to step aside and they're coming from the top official in Harris County.
"I would hope Constable Trevino would understand the wisdom of removing himself from law enforcement until he gets this matter resolved," Judge Ed Emmett told FOX 26 News.
But the 7-term constable isn't going anywhere, retorts his attorney.
"There is absolutely no reason, given the mandate of his constituents, that he would step down and stop protecting his constituents that have resoundingly, seven elections in a row, reelected him," said Lewis.
The indictments against Treviño, which are the result of a 14-month-long investigation by the Harris County District Attorney's Office Public Integrity Division, also accuse the constable of using his elected position to induce on-duty uniformed deputy constables to drive county vehicles to serve eviction and property vacate notices that were not relating to their employment; and of presenting campaign finance reports that failed to include mandatory contribution information, as required by law.
On Friday, Treviño was taken to Harris County jail where he went through the bonding process. A court date has not been scheduled.
Lewis says about 8 months ago, Treviño resigned his position with the non-profit organization CARE, which has been disbanded and is no longer in operation.

In the first half, this game was dullness incarnate. No longer - it's turning into a really good match of football. Newcastle had drawn level shortly after halftime, but level pegging lasted just twenty minutes before Spurs managed to regain their lead. Scott Parker isn't necessarily known for his attacking prowess, but he's been putting on something of a show in the last few minutes, playing in a pair of utterly delightful passes to his strikers.
The first, to Emmanuel Adebayor, was barely nicked away by Dutch goalkeeper Tim Krul, but the second resulted in Tottenham's 68th minute goal. Adebayor dummied to allow substitute Jermain Defoe to receive possession at the top of the Newcastle box, and the England striker was able to wiggle his way into some space and get a vicious long-range shot away, scorching past Krul and into the bottom corner. That makes it 2-1 Tottenham, and Newcastle's unbeaten record is once again under real threat.

Even though Murray was one of the sport's best clutch hitters and switch-hitters, and the best hitter to wear an Orioles uniform, his departure from Baltimore in 1988 was one of the lowest moments in this city's sports history, as sad as the Colts leaving for Indianapolis, and as embarrassing as Colts officials allowing quarterback John Unitas to wear a San Diego Chargers uniform.

Was some criticism of Murray warranted? Absolutely. But no one deserves to have racial slurs hurled at him, which Murray heard at home games. Could he hold a grudge? Yes, almost as long as the media. Did he have a charming personality? No, but he wasn't a cancer in the locker room. His teammates admired his leadership.
Murray wasn't perfect, but he didn't warrant the abuse that he received in the mid 1980s. Leaders of the African-American community will never forget how Murray was treated.
"How can a ballplayer who consistently produced as a superstar, who hit a record number of home runs and RBIs, who could carry a team on his back when his bat was hot for 17 games, who was the greatest clutch hitter in baseball, get run out of town by predominantly white fans?" asked prominent Baltimore attorney Billy Murphy Jr.
"No black baseball fans wanted him to leave," Murphy said. "No black baseball fans expressed outrage at his demeanor. No black baseball fans expressed outrage at his unwillingness to run out a meaningless ground ball. But they will express gratitude when he goes into the Hall of Fame. This city owes a lot to Eddie Murray.
"How many more pennants did we lose when we lost him? How many more World Series did we lose over such trivial matters as a man's personality? This goes to show that as people, we have to strive to get over the racial barriers, if not for people like Eddie Murray, for the sake of society."
Baltimore wasn't and still may not be ready for an African-American superstar with Murray's personality. Baltimore has always been a blue-collar town. Fans here love the Charlie Hustle, All-American type. They want their heroes to be accessible, and they want them to smile all the time.
Murray wasn't the smiling Negro type. He didn't dance or crack jokes. He didn't wear flashy suits or have an engaging personality like Deion Sanders.
Murray was a big-money player and his own man. He was an introvert before he came to Baltimore, and he is that way today.
"I never had trouble interviewing him when I was a reporter for WBAL," said Curt Anderson, a former state delegate who now practices law in Baltimore. "Part of Eddie's problem was perception, the way they wrote about him and talked about him on television and on the radio. They painted him as an irascible man."
Oh, the media wouldn't do that, would they?
Murray's media troubles began with a column written by Dick Young of the New York Daily News in October 1979. Murray wasn't happy about some things written about his family. From then on, he mistrusted reporters and turned down a lot of interview requests.
No big deal, huh?
Black superstars, though, can't be snippy. Just ask San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds. They can't be intelligent or articulate, like former San Antonio Spurs center David Robinson, or they are accused of being too soft. They all have to be happy-go-lucky, entertaining types, or mouthy and obnoxious, like Dennis Rodman.
Bonds and Murray don't like the media. They don't like our questions and the dumb, little games we sometimes play. Here's one of our little games: We keep asking for interviews even though we know we're not going to get one, sometimes to provoke a response.
With each denied request, Murray's reputation for a sour demeanor grew, perpetuated mostly by an unhappy media. But eventually, the media always get their revenge because a player might need a Hall of Fame vote, or they zero in when a player becomes old and his skills start to fade.
That time came for Murray after an August 1986 news conference in which then-owner Edward Bennett Williams said Murray needed to stay in better shape and produce more, which could easily be interpreted as Williams calling Murray lazy.

Creative Possibilities
The combination of initiative and risk-taking is necessary, I believe, for creativity to ensue. And creativity is the factor that makes productive change possible. Now, when I say "creativity," I mean it in the broadest imaginable application, even if artistic creativity is what springs most immediately to mind for most of us. . . .
It takes a while—particularly for 9th graders—to apply the concept of "creativity" to an activity such as writing an essay on the Odyssey. It's so easy merely to complete an assignment, without the bother of imagining a more interesting approach to doing it. One of the purest pleasures of teaching, by the way, is the occasional moment when a student "gets it," realizes what you were trying to do, and writes or stops by to let you know: "Now, I understand." The insight occurs most often, I imagine, when students have unconsciously engaged in the metacritical examination of their efforts that forms so essential a piece of what we ask them to do in English courses. . . .
Too often students chafe at any restriction, which they almost inevitably see as unfairly limiting their creativity. But, of course, all of human activity, even human life, necessarily has limits. Some of us are less physically gifted, some less intellectually, others artistically, etc. But with the right attitude, those limitations may lead to new discoveries. For a number of years, I have used a postcard project that challenges students to represent (note that I did not say "illustrate") an important idea from whatever we happened to be reading, e.g., Homer, the Bible, Romeo and Juliet. Since a postcard in this case needed to measure exactly 4" x 6", and had to arrive at the school unpackaged and unprotected via the US mails by a certain date, limitations existed on the potential materials. As I pointed out to you as 9th graders, neither glass nor chocolate cake was likely to survive the franking process at the post office. You students either completed the postcard with a workmanlike view to getting it done or, infrequently, hit upon a method to extend the restrictions and produce a creative solution. I was awestruck when a student mailed me a block of wood of those 4" x 6" dimensions but laminated and stacked about eight inches tall. I still have it as a fine example of creative possibility.
So, seniors, those are the two pieces of advice I am hoping you'll carry with you, not only as you go on to further academic attainment, but throughout your lives. Initiative and risk-taking are likely to lead to creative solutions as you seek to make the world a better place. And since you will continue to be bombarded on all sides by vast amounts of information that ought to remain suspect: believe nothing of what you are told, no more than half of what you read—and never trust a bearded man.
