Cooper's Joe already catching eye of colleges
Sports smorgasbord, while wondering whatever happened to Rotan High running back Lewis Polnac:
Cooper quarterback Lorenzo Joe was ranked the No. 8 prospect at last week's Under Armour Sevens 7-on-7 tournament after leading the Cougars to the finals before losing to Stephenville.
Considering he is a sophomore and has recently moved from receiver to fill the void by the graduation of Clayton Nicholas, that was a strong debut.
The writer of the article says Joe will be one of the top receivers in the college signing year 2014, but he also could be one of the top quarterbacks.
He showed quick feet and a good change of direction for his size (6-2, 180). He has a long release and he displayed ability in throwing the ball around the field in the intermediate game besides possessing the arm strength to stretch the field vertically.
Joe is hearing from most of the southwest college coaches and most of his summer will be spent playing 7-on-7 tournaments and going to football camps.
ACU grad to UT assistant
Former ACU grad George Washington, not the first president of this country, has been hired as an assistant women's basketball coach at the University of Texas and is already on the job.
He previously was an assistant at Westbury Christian High School in Houston, which made it to the TAPPS finals four times and was ranked nationally in the Top 10 twice while posting a 140-16 record. Before that, he coached at Houston St. Thomas Episcopal and oversaw 17 sports programs in addition to coaching the girls basketball team to a 27-5 record and to the semifinals of the state tournament. He also worked with the DFW Elite Team, the Houston Heat and Cy-Fair Texans.
He will be on campus here next month when his wife, the former ACU basketball player Jackie Bucher, will be inducted into the school's Sports Hall of Fame.
Big Country HOF golf tourney set
The Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame is holding its eighth annual scholarship golf tournament on June 8 at Diamondback Golf Club. Cost of playing in the tournament is $125 per player or $600 per team in the four-person scramble format, which includes lunch. Hall of Fame golfers Charles Coody and John Paul Cain will give a golf clinic at 8:15 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 9 a.m.
All proceeds from the tournament will go to the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame scholarship program. Earlier this month, the BCAHF awarded eight $500 scholarships to Big Country student-athletes in addition to inductees nine new members in the Hall of Fame.
Winning scholarships this year were Samuel Bush of Jim Ned, Lauren Goode of Cross Plains, Logan Lewis of Cisco, Connor Mauldin of Wylie, Cristian Sandoval of Winters, Conner Smith of Ira, Aradine Stephenson of Abilene High and Zoie Walker of Cross Plains. Mackenzie Curnutt of Abilene High and Orrin Vinson of Albany won the Nancy and Ted Paup scholarship awards.
To sign up for the tournament or to learn about other sponsorships, contract Burrell McKelvain at (325) 945-2309 or email@example.com or Homer Taylor at (325) 669-9733.
Nichols still on the job
Time does fly when you are having fun. Kim Nichols has completed his 37th year as boys basketball coach at Coahoma, but he is no longer the athletic director.
Several years ago, his team was in the playoffs with a team from the El Paso area whose coach apparently was not up to date with Texas geography.
Kim contacted him about the site of the game and he really preferred to play it in Van Horn. But the other coach said he was not going past Pecos, which Kim quickly said that was fine with him. That saved Coahoma a lot of mileage on the old yellow bus.
TCU cashing in
TCU getting into the Big 12 Conference has been a boom for football tickets for home games. The school already has sold out the allotted 30,000 season tickets, breaking the record of 22,500 sold last year.
The new Amon G. Carter Stadium will seat about 45,000.
ACU recruit
According to a story in the Lubbock newspaper, Idalou standout basketball player Riley Payne was to sign with Abilene Christian University. The Avalanche-Journal All-South Plains Class 2A Player of the Year helped lead the Wildcats to a third straight state tournament berth by averaging 18.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Knox is in hiding, and it sounds like Sollecito won't be joining her — his father relayed the message that he just wants to be with his family right now.
Knox just got totally blown off.
But you know who's not counting her out? Potential employers.
Vivid Entertainment, a porn company, was quick with an offer to Knox.
(Classy) founder Steve Hirsch wants to clarify that she does not need to get naked or have sex on camera unless she wants to. Hirsch just wants her to be their "spokesperson and represent the studio at trade and retail events."
The other offer came from MOVIN 92.5, a Seattle radio station. They want her to come and work for them for a week and share her story, and they're offering her $10,000 to help with legal fees.

Concerns about the welfare of missing Cheltenham man Nicholas Spencer
1:54pm Friday 10th January 2014 in News
THERE are serious concerns about the welfare of a Cheltenham man who went missing this morning.
Nicholas Spencer, who has links to the Churchdown, Andoversford, Staverton and Charlton Kings areas, is 67 and considered vulnerable.
He was last seen in the Churchdown area at about 10.30am today (Friday January 10) driving a blue Ford Focus with the registration number VK12 EEG.
Mr Spencer is described as white, 5ft 8ins tall, of very slim build and with short, wispy grey hair. He was last seen wearing a blue and black anorak, white jumper and jeans.
A search is underway but Nicholas, or anyone who sees Nicholas, is urged to call police immediately on 999.

Heading down to Tennessee early tomorrow morning to spend a week with my Mom. It's a 12-hour trip, and I'm looking forward to driving through some awfully pretty country in Va. and East Tn. The kids, on the other hand, will be asking "are we there yet" about every half hour (hey, they're only young once).
I'll be on the lookout for roadside Cubs (I assume Bigdog hasn't found all of em). Just wanted to wish all my fellow Cubbers a Happy New Year. Hope everyone had a happy & healthy Christmas. See you again in 2005.......Bill V.

Pulitzer Winner Bruce Norris' Black Comedy About Swinging Couples
- Full Price:
- $52.00 - $86.00
- Our Price:
- $15.00 - $50.00
Partner swapping goes awry in The Qualms, the new comedy by Pulitzer-winning playwright Bruce Norris (Clybourne Park). In this darkly funny world premiere from Steppenwolf Theatre Company and Tony-winning director Pam MacKinnon, a group of friends gathers at a beachside apartment complex for their regular evening of food, drink, drugs and sex. But when a new couple joins the party, the freewheeling night devolves into a territorial battle over mating privileges. Often compared to Edward Albee for his witty examinations of the American psyche, Norris is one of two playwrights (the other being David Mamet) to win a Pulitzer, Tony and Olivier Award for a single play. In The Qualms, he delves into the eternal struggle for power and status. Learn More

Just a question, as i'm thinking of making this for my friend for his band, how does it connect to the pedal to power it?
is it a problem if you live in a country where you get 230 volt ac out of the power outlet?
I'm trying to build one of these for my pedal board but I need to power 16 pedals and I'd prefer to have separate isolated outs for each rather than daisy chaining them (some are pin positive and others are pin negative). Do I have to change the number of capacitors or anything else to do this?
Also, I'd like 2 of these outputs to put out 18V for extra headroom in certain pedals. And I'm having trouble finding an enclosure that has a square hole for the IEC connection. It's cheaper for me to have a regular sized dc in (just like on the tops of pedals) so I'm going to do that. Will these two things mean I have to change the values of the transformer or fuse or anything else in the circuit? I may have to run the unit off a regular 1 spot 9v 1700ma power supply. Can I still get 18V out of two of the outputs or do I need to use some different kind of power supply?
Hey Matt, thought this might be useful info for others: easy to find, 8 isolated tap, transformer for $25 plus shipping:
https://taweber.powweb.com/store/magnetic.htm scroll down to the bottom for item
WPDLXFMR-1 or
WPDLXFMR-2 depending on your input voltage.
If only making the outputs 9v, what is the maximum number of outputs you can make? I have a lot of pedals and want to make a pedalboard. I am thinking, I need to build at least 2 supply boxes.
I am still not sure about the transformer. If I have 10 pedals for example and they are all 9 volt. Does this mean I need a 90 volt transformer? I probably have closer to 15 pedals and want to make one circuit a SAG. I am thinking about some kind of Pot. Also do I need to match the Amperage to each pedal? Probably won't be able to do this for a few months but would like to start gathering parts. Also since you have a plastic housing. Can I use a metal housing?
That's not how it works. The transformer just needs enough voltage overhead for the linear regulators to work properly. The pedals are powered in parallel. Bad stuff would happen if you wired them in series. Also I don't know what a SAG is.
You don't need to match the current to the pedals, just the voltage. The pedals will draw what they need. Metal housings are fine, just make sure you hook the green earth ground wire directly to the chassis for safety.

Matt, thanks for these plans. I am somewhat of a neophyte when it come to electronics, but have always wanted try my hand at it, this looks like a fun project. One question though. I am having a real hard time finding an 18 V 300 ma Transformer. I see in a previous post that you mentioned using a 12V AC @ 1.2A transformer would be ok. I assume no other changes are needed are far as the ratings on the other components to accommodate the above transformer. Alternatively I was wondering if I could just open up a 18V 300ma AC Adapter rating you mentioned, since it has a transformer in it? Thanks man.
Also, I see from your images that you have a bridge rectifier, but didn't see it in your list of project parts. Is that needed and if so, any specific specs I need to look for on that? Thanks again man
Hey Matt! I know its been a few weeks since I was on here asking questions! I had a couple more if you don't mind. I'm in the process of ordering everything from DigiKey now...
First, you said something about I could put an EMI filter on if I wanted...can you recommend one for me?
Second, a goofy question! I know they shouldn't under normal circumstances, but what happens if one of these components fails? Will the voltage regulators prevent damage to the pedals?
There isn't much bad stuff that can happen with this simple supply, but the linear regulators are basically a resistor in series with the load and a zener diode that clamps the output voltage to a certain level.
Best you could do is add a fuse in series with each output to prevent excessive current being delivered to the pedal, but that doesn't protect against excess voltage. The fuse rating should be around 50% more than the pedal operating current. A resettable fuse like Digikey BC2719-ND might serve well for output protection. This is probably the kind of thing production units have in them to prevent short circuits and damaged pedals from damaging the supply.
Hello, I'm willing to build this power supply to power 10 to 15 pedals, they all are center negative, 9v (mostly BOSS), and I don't want to buy a voodoo or cioks PSU, they cost like $200 USD. Do you think this will work as those PSU? Will it add noise to the sound signal?. I know a noise gate is usefull but I have used 9v adapters that add a lot of noise even with the noise gate. Sorry for my bad english.
Also, if you're having trouble with noise, read up on "ground loop hum" and keep away from noise-emitting things like electric motors and CRT televisions.
The cheap adapters here are not regulated, and 90% of my pedals are voltage sensitive. One time I tryed a cheap one and it damage one of my boss dd3.
Maybe I can get this cheap adapters, open them, and Make them regulated with this tutorial, like a cheapo 1spot clon.
What do you think?
Thank you for time!
You don't even need to open it. Two caps and a regulator connected to the output connector and you're all set. You could regulate it, then connect to a daisy chain cable and run 4 or 5 boss pedals on a single adapter without issue.
Hello, I'm sorry, I know its been a while, but could you help me with an schematic or link where I can get a guide for this regulator. I got two cheap 9volts 500 mAmp.I used my fluke multimeter to measure voltage and both are giving 15/17 volts, if I use them with my pedals, they will die :(
Sounds like they are unregulated supplies. They will output 9V when the load draws 500mA but a higher voltage if the load draws less. With no load (ie. when measuring with a DMM) you'll see the highest possible voltage. You could test by finding out how much current your pedal will draw, then calculate a resistor to use as a dummy load on the supply. Put the resistor across the supply and measure, and measure the voltage across the resistor. That will be the voltage the supply will drop to when hooked to your pedal.
Or, make a regulator. As long as you don't draw too close to 500mA the regulator will have enough voltage overhead to function.
Datasheet for 7809 - 9 Volt linear regulator
Page 18 Figure 6 shows the simplest application of the regulator possible. Hook it up and give it a try.
I'm sorry for the double post. I have found two printer PSU from my old stuff. On the cover it says output 13.5Vdc / 1A, they look the same, but one gives 18v and the other one gives 9v. I opened them apart and they are almost the same, but the one that gives 18v it has only two diodes, on the other hand, the 9v it has 4 diodes like I'm used to see, besides that, they look the same.
Do you think I have to add the two diodes missing on the 18v PSU?
It will be better live the PSU like that, and just focus on the regulator?
What happens if I use a 9v 200 mA supply? it will give regulated 9v, but the same 200 mA?
Sorry to botter you!
thank you very much
Two diodes form a full-wave rectifier, this is for transformers that have a center tap. Four diodes form a bridge rectifier, for an untapped secondary coil. Now in the pictures you showed they do not have any regulation, so the voltage will vary depending on the current being drawn by the load. Why they both say 13.5V on the outside and one is showing 18 and the other 9, I would guess that the one showing 9 is broken. 18V sounds about right for an unloaded 13.5V transformer.
Thank you very much. I want to make a regulator with the 7809 so I can use it with at least five pedals, if I use this supplies and make the regulator, the output will be the same 9v 500 mA, but this time steady 9v?.
What happens if I use a 9v 200 mA supply? it will give regulated 9v, but the same 200 mA?
I'm sorry for my english.
Okay you've been super helpful and I hate to ask you this, but do you mind pointing me toward a heat sink that you would choose? I've never bought one before and I don't really know if there's a specific kind that I'm supposed to use.
Also if I wire that transformer in parallel it can give me 2.78A, but if I wire it in series it's good for 1.39A. Does the voltage situation get better if I simply wire it in series? I just want to make sure that I'm not providing the voltage regulators with too much voltage when I'm pulling little to no amperage. Since I believe you're a guitar player, you'll understand that a lot of the time I'll only have one pedal on, or sometimes none at all.
Or am I looking at this all wrong?
As far as capacitor voltage ratings go, I just need a minimum rating of 12.7v, correct? Since I am not using any voltage higher than that? Or does the rating need to be higher to account for something else I'm not thinking of?
Capacitors should be over-rated by at least 100% at low voltages. When capacitors are under-rated, they explode in a very ugly way. 25V caps are definitely a good idea. 50V are even better, but for high values they start getting pretty big.
The ones I used were 50V 10000uF. Pretty big but no worries about them exploding.
That's what I would buy.
Also, do they make LEDs that work on 9V? That way I wouldn't have to create 5V power for the indicator? And if they do, what size should I make the resistor for it?
Sorry for all the questions. I really appreciate your guidance!

How impressive is that? With 82 points, Harden is the first player since Michael Jordan to score at least 80 points in the first two games of the season. Jordan started the 1986-87 season with 91 points in the first two games.
In fact, Harden is just the third player in NBA history to score at least 80, joining Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain, who did it three times.
Here is a list of some other current NBA superstars and the most points they have ever scored in the first two games of the season...

A study released in January found that e-cigarette vapor can promote the development of cancer in certain types of human cells — at least, when those cells are in a petri dish. These are early findings, and they don't yet undermine the idea that e-cigs are healthier to smoke than regular cigarettes. But they do prompt some questions about second-hand smoke and the health of people you smoke e-cigarettes around.

RIPON – Commander Ernie Tyhurst of the Clinton McCausland Post 190 of the American Legion has a history of service to his community and to his country during his colorful lifetime. He joined the Legion four years ago and is in his second year in its leadership. He is now a life member.
RIPON – Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars' Post 1051 in Ripon, John Franscella, has served three tours aboard the U.S.S. Hancock assigned to the F-8 Fighter Squadron in the Gulf of Tonkin between 1968 and 1970.
While Memorial Day allows locals to take a moment to thank veterans for their service and sacrifice, several veteran organizations continue to contribute year-round to the community. From supporting sober graduate nights to hosting flag retirement ceremonies, veteran societies such as the American Legion support and further the goals of the community through their financial contributions.
LATHROP – Charles McGonegal is looking to boost membership at the Sharpe General Depot American Legion Post 632.
MANTECA – The briefcase sits on a ledge near the front window of the Village Sandwich Shoppe, open and overflowing with folders and paperwork.
The impact the American Legion has had on the lives of veterans – even those who don't know that the organization exists – is unquestioned.
When you visit the famous wine-growing region of Napa, perhaps there is no local attraction that captures the spirit of your journey better than a ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train. Hop on board this historic train and you'll chug your way through scenic vineyards to wine-lover's heaven.
Zombies are on the horizon for the Sierra Dinner train chugging out of its Oakdale station this summer. Also new to the long established attraction that featured a Murder Mystery and a Christmas Train is a Beer Train that is coming in mid-August.
The last time I rode aboard the ACE train was five years ago.
Kick your seat back, look out of the window and witness the hills and mountains of the Central Valley unfolding around you - this is the experience of riding the San Joaquin Amtrak Train.
The area had all of the makings of a perfect western movie set.
Edythe Sealey Myer and Lottie Zumwalt are about to celebrate this weekend's Mothers' Day - one their families will never forget as they soon mark their 100 years. They were both born on June 9, 1914 in Nebraska and later moved to California.
Being the child of a working mom can be hard, but it's a little easier when your mom is involved in a local family business.
It is a sight I will never forget.
For years, Robert Verdugo would spend Mother's Day morning with his mother at Nicolino's Garden Café in Sunnyvale.
MODESTO – The neon lights are the first thing that grabs your attention.
Sam Robinson slides forward on his feet as he approaches the foul line.
Max Garrido Jr. has one perfect game and an 800 series to his credit.
STOCKTON - Everything from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 to the music of Billy Joel, from the dazzling symphonic spectacle of Carmina Burana to the anticipated return of Cirque de la Symphonie, from classical music inspired by planets far, far away to some of the best known compositions of Leonard Bernstein is part of the Stockton Symphony's 2014-15 Season.
LATHROP – It can be brown and it can be murky, but it's also one of the most critical waterways in California and it has a long and storied history and has provided recreational opportunities for local residents for decades.
As a member of the Stockton Rowing Club, Kathy Brown has been in and around the San Joaquin Delta and its many tributaries.
The roads wind.
Sit in the stands at Guss Schmiedt Field on a Friday night and you're bound to experience a plethora of smells.
Those driving down Geer Road in Turlock this summer may see the unusual sight of a snowball fight. No, there's not a freak atmospheric condition that turns this part of the Central Valley into a frozen wonderland, but rather the doings of one business owner.

AWANA Q and A
What is AWANA? AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and it comes from a Bible verse found in 2 Timothy 2:15. AWANA is an international organization of Bible Clubs for children. Each week is packed with fun games, counsel time and Scripture memory (Handbook) work. Your child can earn multiple awards such as patches, pins and even trophies.
When and where is SouthPointe's AWANA program? Every Sunday Evening from 4 pm to 6 pm beginning September 7, 2014 and going through May 3, 2015 (With a few exceptions due to Holidays). All of the Kids' clubs will be held at our church located at 901 Debbie Lane in South Arlington, near the intersection of S. Collins St and Debbie Lane.
How much does the program cost? There is a fee of $25 due when you register. This fee covers part of your child's expenses for the AWANA year and helps offset the costs of the AWANA store and special event nights. There is also a suggested weekly AWANA offering of $1. If you need arrangements to pay the fee over a period of time, please contact us as soon as possible. We do not want any child to miss out on participating due to finances.
Do I just drop my child off? We prefer you walk your child into our facility and locate his or her group. All parents are welcome to stay and watch the children play and if you like, you could even help by listening to some Handbook work…
How do I register? You can register online or at our church. If you have any questions or would prefer us to send you a registration packet, please contact us by phone 817-453-5550 (Church Office). Be sure to leave a message if our staff is busy when you call. You will need to fill out both the Registration form and the Release form which includes some medical info.
What club will my child be in? Please review the AWANA Club info page on this website. It will provide you with the age appropriate AWANA Club for your child.

Here is my entry into the Gorilla Glue Challenge.
For some time DW has wanted a set of Wind Chimes and this was the perfect time to build them. I searched the web and found these plans online at Lowes – http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=howTo&p=HomeDecor/WindChimes.html
Materials: Birch (top and clapper), galvanized pipe (chimes), poplar (weight) and twine.
This was my first time working with birch and at $4.90 a BF it is quite expensive for my meagre wallet. I purchased 7 BF so that I can use it in another project or two. The calculations from the plan require the purchase of one 10' length of pipe. I went with ½" galvanized pipe @ $7.89 a length as opposed to copper that would have cost me around $30.00.
I started by cutting the pieces of pipe to length and hacking off a piece of birch.
The plans called for an octagon top, however I went with the more traditional round top. I chose poplar as the weight as a contrast to the birch. I used a jigsaw to cut out the pieces and the drum sander on a DP to smooth everything out.
As this was going to be outside in all sorts of weather and was not utilitarian in nature I decided to finish it. Here you can see a mixture of oil and bee's wax. It is the consistency of a hard paste wax.
Applied to the birch it really brings out the colour.
The next step took some time and a heck of a lot of patience . . . tying the strings. As I am not a Boy Scout and my knot knowledge is limited to the "granny knot" and the "half hitch" I needed some help in holding the knots and stopping them from slipping. This is where Gorilla Glue came in.
After I tied all the knots I dabbed each one with a little Gorilla Glue, trimmed up the loose ends and I was done.
Here are the chimes in action.

Thanks all. I must say it was a fun little project.

I really enjoy windchimes….I guess the reason they suggest copper pipe is because it doesn't rust but develops a wonderful patina and also has a nicer sound to it than galv. pipe does . Nice project and looks like it held up well during the tornado that you filmed : )

Aroma: Sweet mint
Liquor Color: Amber
Liquor Flavor: Sweet mint, fades into almost smoked black tea base, refreshing mint linger and a light hint of creamy lemon
Notes: Nice smooth mint flavor to begin with then I taste the black tea base that I didn't really care for, then the mint faded back in. Lemon was very light. Then again I don't recall seeing too many lemon rinds in there.
Thank you Nina's Paris for the free sample!

Money Jun 11, 2013
All television infomercials have one thing in common. They all promise a free trial period with a money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the product, you can return it and get your money back within this period.
The same principle is used in free-look period when it comes to insurance. It's possible that after buying an insurance policy, you realize that you are not satisfied with it. As per the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda), you really need not worry in such a situation because you can simply return the policy within this 15-day free-look period.
But as in life, in insurance too, things are easier said than done. When you return the insurance policy within the first 15 days, you will simply have to give up the underwriting costs, said a story published in Business Standard, today. So, there is a good possibility that you might not get back the exact amount you paid as your premium. The insurer could charge you for administrative charges, medical test expenses and the like.
The next thing to keep in mind is that since it's just a 15-day period, many a times, your policy arrives only after the mandatory 15 day period is over. The insurance company will ask you for the reason of cancellation.
"Often requests for cancelling are associated with pricing. Sometimes an agent may sell a particular policy to a customer without explaining all the details. And if another agent promises a similar product at a lower premium, the customer may ask for the policy to be cancelled," says Ashvin Parekh, partner-national leader, Ernst & Young, in the Business Standard report.
To make the most of the free look-up period, ensure that you use those 15 days to go through the policy documents and thoroughlyunderstand the financial product you have invested in. Read the whole Business Standard story here.
Firstpost take:
We agree that the free look period should be taken to understand the terms of the policy. But you need not take 15 days to do so. Remember that cancellation of policy might seem easy, but in reality, it's a task; you will need to fill forms, make a few calls to the call centre and send your original policy documents back to the insurance company. So it's best to start as early as possible and ensure that you follow up the process properly, and not start in the last minute.
Reading and understanding the policy documents is very important. Do not shy away from doing this for silly reasons like the print is too small and difficult to read. Today, all policy documents and wording are available at the insurance company's website and you can adjust the font size to read them. As far as the insurer's asking for the reason for cancellation goes, remember you are under no obligation to give a reason. Also keep in mind that the 15-day period starts from the day you get the policy in your hand.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been greeted by wild applause by thousands of people on their arrival at the Sydney Opera House.
The royal couple stepped from their royal motorcade at the western side of the Opera House just after 3pm Wednesday.
They were met by NSW Governor Marie Bashir and her husband Sir Nicholas Shehadie, as well as NSW government representative, Don Harwin MLC.
Both Kate and William waved to the crowd, which on each occasion responded with huge cheers. But the young royals weren't able to meet those who turned out to catch a glimpse of them.
William and Kate greeted the dignitaries, before making their way up the western stairs to the Concert Hall for an official reception.
Before stepping inside, Kate and William took in some of the stunning sights of Sydney Harbour on a gorgeous, sunny autumn afternoon.
About 400 guests attended the reception, including former Australian cricket fast bowler Glenn McGrath and Australian Women's Cricket Team member Ellyse Perry, along with children dressed to represent all nations competing in the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
During a short speech, the duke said he was bowled over by Sydney during his 2010 visit and his wife had been looking forward to coming to NSW.
''My last visit to Australia — in 2011 — was at a sad and testing time for the nation. A cyclone followed by flooding had devastated lives and property in Queensland and bushfires had ravaged the State of Victoria,'' he said.
''I am sorry to return to find that, yet again, fellow Australians in north Queensland are coping with the aftermath of another destructive cyclone.
''Australia has much to contend with at the moment: your contribution to the ongoing search for MH370 has earned respect in every quarter of the globe.
''Australia 's determined and leading role in the search is at the very edge of technological ability and human endurance.
''You have also responded with great generosity in the past few days to the natural disaster afflicting the Solomon Islands, which is suffering dreadfully from floods and successive earthquakes.''
The Prince said his grandmother the Queen had spoken recently of how, since her first visit here 60 years ago, she had been privileged to witness Australia's growing economy and flowering self-confidence.
He joked that he suspected Prince George's first word might be 'bilby' — ''only because 'koala' is harder to say''.
When they stepped out into the Sydney sunshine, the royal couple were greeted with more cheers and applause.
Kate wore a bright yellow fitted dress by Serbian-born, London-based designer Roksanda Ilinic, while William looked smart in a navy suit.
They walked down the Opera House steps towards a crowd that had been waiting patiently for hours for the first glimpse of the royal couple since they arrived in Australia.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge slowly made their way to make their way long the parapet accepting gifts of flowers and posing for ''selfies'' until reaching the Man O' War steps where they were farewelled by the Governor and Sir Nicholas and Mr Harwin.
They boarded a police launch for the brief ride across Sydney Harbour to the Admiralty House wharf.

Judicial activism occurs when judges write subjective policy preferences into the law rather than apply the law impartially according to its original meaning. As such, activism does not mean the mere act of striking down a law.
The 5-4 majority ruled that the execution of a 17 year-old murderer violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition on "cruel and unusual punishment" because it is inconsistent with "the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society." In addition to surveying trends in state legislation, Justice Kennedy in his majority opinion also relies on the Court's "independent judgment" and international law to conclude that these evolving standards prohibit execution of juveniles.
In the infamous case of Roper v. Simmons, the Court utilizes a panoply of activist "tools." The judges engage in judicial imperialism, citing their own "independent judgment" as authoritative. They also imported foreign law into Eighth Amendment jurisprudence, clearly unable to justify their conclusion with U.S. law. Further, following the past precedent of other activist cases, the judges relied on the so-called Living Constitution to make the Constitution comport with their self-described enlightened sensibilities
In setting forth the Court's "independent judgment," Kennedy asserts his own apparent expertise in sociology, attempting to explain the general differences between adults and juveniles. Among other things, he stated that "[J]uveniles are more vulnerable or susceptible to negative influences and outside pressures, including peer pressure." Kennedy's references to sociological studies and his own observations about youth are clearly policy judgments that do not fall within the realm of constitutional interpretation. Weighing these kind of policy considerations does have a place in answering the question of whether this punishment is appropriate, but the authority to make these detailed policy determinations—as well as the machinery for proper fact-finding hearings, and the political check on the ultimate judgment—rests with the legislatures, whose respective judgments the Court is trammeling.
Justice Kennedy further reveals his misunderstanding of the judiciary's role when he looks to international opinion to assess whether the "evolving standards of decency" forbid the execution of minors. He demonstrates this "international consensus" in part by citing a treaty to which the United States is expressly not a signatory. While thinly conceding that international law isn't controlling on this matter, the Court looks to foreign law to find confirmation of its own preferred conclusions. Rather than exploring the original meaning of the Eighth Amendment, the five justices of the majority instead frolic and detour through evidence of foreign standards, which they use to confirm their own policy preferences.
The Court's living constitutionalist doctrine of "evolving standards" is perfectly standardless, and provides courts with almost limitless discretion. At the time of the Amendment's enactment, "cruel and unusual punishment" meant torturous punishments, such as decapitation or pillorying, that were actually uncommon in colonial America. The Court's rulings in Eighth Amendment cases such as this have stretched the meaning of the Eighth Amendment to the point that the words "cruel and unusual" functionally mean whatever happens to offend a majority of the justices.

This hotel is very good for a budget stay in Valencia. It offers free wifi connection, breakfast was tasty, rooms average but big. Location wasn't the best and parking place doesn't look very safe at night but fortunately everything was okay. Staff people were just helpful.

The Golden Eagles' head coach accepted the same position at North Carolina two weeks ago but will close out his four-year tenure with Southern Miss at Aloha Stadium against Nevada, which is playing in its seventh consecutive bowl game. Fedora's Golden Eagles capped an 11-2 season with a 49-28 Conference USA Championship win over Houston, spoiling the Cougars' undefeated season and BCS bowl hopes. There are mixed feelings regarding Fedora's departure in Hattiesburg, so a bowl win could help turn the tide of popular opinion.Keep an eye on: Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis, who put together a prolific year in Fedora's spread offense, which rang up nearly 38 points per game this season. The senior threw for 3,331 yards and 28 touchdowns, including a four-touchdown showing against Houston. Meanwhile, Nevada All-America defensive tackle Brett Roy will anchor the Wolf Pack's pass rush. Roy tallied 10 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss this season, both tops in the WAC.Did you know: This will mark Nevada's third appearance in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl since 2005. The Wolf Pack nipped Central Florida 49-45 that year before falling to SMU 45-10 in 2009.Final analysis: This matchup has all the makings of a shootout. Nevada is fifth in the nation in total offense, averaging just more than 522 yards per game, while Southern Miss ranks 13th with 471 total yards per game. But Davis has the Golden Eagles' offense hitting its stride, averaging 41.3 points in its last three games compared to Nevada's 23.6. Plus, no victory on the Wolf Pack's schedule can match Southern Miss's 21-point drubbing of Houston, its most recent win. Fedora will go out on top in Honolulu.The pick: Southern Miss 34, Nevada 28 Tweet Story0 Share Story0 Comment0 More Share Story0 Share Story0 Stumble It0 Print0

Bellevue, WA -- Bellevue property owners are about to pay less for flood insurance thanks to their city's participation in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS). On Tuesday, January 16, at the Bellevue City Council meeting, FEMA Deputy Regional Director Tammy Doherty will recognize Bellevue for improving the community's floodplain rating from a Class 7 to a Class 6. Class 6 puts Bellevue in the top two percent of participating communities. Residents will now save 20 percent (up from 15 percent) in flood insurance premiums.
"Our Community Rating System rewards communities for mitigating flood risks that threaten their residents. The City of Bellevue has gone far beyond those minimum actions required for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program," said Doherty. "CRS Categories range from Mapping and Regulations, to Flood Damage Reduction, Flood Preparedness, and Public Awareness outreach. Bellevue has done an excellent job addressing these issues."
Bellevue Utilities Department Director Lloyd Warren agrees. "We're proud of our participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, and the Community Rating System. The new Class 6 rating will make flood insurance for Bellevue property owners even more affordable," said Warren. "Bellevue was one of the first cities in the country to implement a comprehensive plan to address preservation and enhancement of streams and reduction of flooding. Because of investments in flood control projects over the years and a vigorous operations and maintenance program, the city has fared very well during recent storms. Residents probably remember sites that used to flood years ago, such as 140th and NE 21st that do not flood today."
Class ratings run from Ten to One and flood insurance premium reductions run in five percent increments, from five percent to 45 percent.

My wife and I stayed for one night on August 29th, 2013 and we had a wonderful time. Denny and Chris were very nice and easy going which made our stay even more enjoyable. The Captains Room view and layout is outstanding! Wish we could have stayed longer than one day. Definitely will be back.

My wife and I stayed one night and felt very at home and both of us loved sitting down by the lake watching the beautiful sunset over the lake while drinking a bottle of wine. Couldn't ask for a better view. The room was nice n cozy with everything we needed even w our own bathroom. The hospitality was very welcoming also. To bad that the place is up for sale.

The pictures don't do justice to the views from this B&B - my partner and I stayed in the Lighthouse Room and felt like we were ON the water when we looked out the window. Our room was wonderfully cozy, the owner and staff were very friendly, and the deck right on the water was incredible. We really appreciated having cold soft drinks and light snacks available at all times, and loved picking a good movie from their video library to snuggle up to once we'd tucked ourselves in for the night. Next time, we'll be sure to stay for more than one night!

We had a great view of the lake from the captain's room, We haven't gone to a B & B in eons, so this was a big treat. We didn't have access to the kitchen, or should I say, we weren't invited to use the kitchen. It would have been nice to be able to have access to hot tea or coffee throughout the day. The owner also wasn't really there after serving breakfast, so if you had questions you probably have to call him.
4.2 on September 15, 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Captain's suite and had a spectacular window view of the lake. We do not live near water like that, so it was a bit of heaven to be able to open the windows and hear the crash of the waves upon the lake. Denny and his daughter were so nice and accomodating. We will definitely return again if we get the opportunity.

This B&B is in an awesome location. The view from our window was breath-taking. Our host was extremely kind. The rooms we used were very clean and inviting. I was not sure what to expect with the breakfast. This part reminded me of a hotel stay. However, breakfast company was interesting and friendly. We were close to Kelley's Island and visited the Marblehead Lighthouse. This was our first visit to a bed and breakfast. We will definitely do this again.
3.2 on August 22, 2011
The location was great, right on the lake, but I found the breakfast disappointing. Many other Bed and Breakfast Inns serve warm breakfasts and that is what I expected. Don't get me wrong, the food was sufficient, just not what I expected. The host was very nice, as was the rest of the staff. I would go back here any time, though!
Innkeeper Response
We are sorry to disappoint any guest but we "advertise" and provide a generous continental breakfast starting with hot sausage or ham, cold fruit, yogurt, hardboiled eggs and microwave pancakes and then have room temperature pastry, bagels and assorted breads and cereals. We do respect and appreciate the opinions of our guests.

We loved our stay at Sunset Shores! The hosts were wonderful, very happy and converstional, but also gave us our own space. We stayed in the captain suite which is definitely worth the extra money. Wonderful view, air conditioned, lots of closet and dresser space, great shower, comfy bed. Breakfast was perfect, very healthy choices and alot of variety. My favorite part of the stay were the common areas in the house. The deck is just beautiful of course. The porch is great too with tons of games to play while looking at the lake. Everywhere in the house there is something to do and the hosts pay great attention to detail by offering books, games, movies and lots of relaxing things to do. We loved every minute of it and will be back again and again!

This is an outstanding value. Denny was more than helpful and maintains a wonderful house. The views of the lake and the pace of the community definitely made this stay worthwhile.
