President Obama said Monday that Russia is "on the wrong side of history" on Ukraine, and warned that the U.S. and its allies are examining steps to "isolate" the country -- as western leaders scramble to convince Vladimir Putin to stand down.
Obama, before a meeting in Washington with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the world largely is in agreement that Russia is "in violation of international law."
He said Moscow's actions are deeply troubling, and said this would be a "costly proposition" for Russia if it continues down this path.
"We are examining a whole series of steps -- economic, diplomatic -- that will isolate Russia," Obama said.
What specific steps the U.S. and Europe would take to dissuade Putin, though, is an open question, as the cold warrior toys with whether to advance Russian troops beyond the Crimean Peninsula. Despite western countries discussing a range of punishments for Moscow, hardly anybody is pushing military action.
The closest any top-ranking official got was Secretary of State John Kerry saying Sunday that "all options are on the table." In a separate interview the same morning, though, Kerry stressed that a military response is "the last thing anybody wants."
It's a far cry from the 2011 Libya uprising against Muammar Qaddafi, when Washington and western European capitals were gripped by robust debate over whether to use force to prop up the rebels.
This time, even the hawkish lawmakers on the Hill are saying it's best to stand down.
"There is not a lot of options on the table. And candidly -- and I'm a fairly hawkish guy -- sending more naval forces to operate in the Black Sea is not a good idea," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told "Fox News Sunday."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called over the weekend for a range of options "without the use of military force."
And on NBC's "Meet the Press," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said: "If you're asking me whether the U.S. should be taking military strikes against Russian troops in Ukraine or in Crimea, I would argue to you that I don't think anyone is advocating for that."
So what options are there?
To hear Obama administration officials tell it, they're banking on the assumption that diplomatic and economic pressure can convince Putin to ease off.
On Monday, a diplomat reportedly said the European Union has agreed to consider "targeted measures" against Russia if Moscow does not dial back tensions, though it's unclear what those measures might be.
On the U.S. side, Washington could expand asset freezes and visa bans and other sanctions on powerful Russians. There's also the possibility of imposing trade and investment penalties.
Kerry, who is leaving later Monday for Ukraine, said he has consulted other world leaders and all are committed to doing what is necessary to isolate Russia diplomatically. President Obama spoke Sunday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski.
In Brussels, NATO's secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said Russia's actions have violated a U.N. charter. He said the alliance was re-evaluating its relationship with Russia.
But the most immediate penalties appear to revolve around Russia's membership in the G-8. All seven other members of that elite group have announced they are suspending preparation work for an upcoming summit in Russia. Kerry and Capitol Hill lawmakers say Russia also risks being kicked out of the group altogether.
Separately, the White House said Monday that the U.S. has decided not to send a presidential delegation to the Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Britain has also decided not to send ministers to the Paralympic Games, which start Friday.
Several U.S. senators also called for bolstered missile defense systems based in Poland and the Czech Republic. Rubio and fellow GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said the Obama administration should return to plans it abandoned in 2009 to place long-range missile interceptors and radar in Poland and the Czech Republic.
But a few lone voices say economic pressure may not be enough. Notably, retired Adm. James Stavridis, NATO's former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, said in a Foreign Policy column on Saturday that military options -- and others -- should be discussed.
He urged NATO to develop contingency plans to react to a "full-scale invasion of Ukraine," noting that NATO planners moved quickly in Libya.
He suggested bringing NATO's 25,000-member Response Force to a "higher state of alert" and sailing maritime forces into the Black Sea.
Obama administration officials have pushed back on the possibility of a military confrontation.
"I don't think we're focused right now on the notion of some U.S. military intervention," one official said.
But some fret that the United States is rapidly losing influence on the world stage, absent any severe consequences.
"Everybody says 'no' to the U.S. these days without cost or consequence," Aaron David Miller, former adviser to six secretaries of State and scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, told Fox News.
He said the last "truly effective" foreign policy was under former President George H.W. Bush. "There was a cost for saying 'no' to the United States," he reminisced. "Right now, there is no cost."

BlackRock's Chief Equity Strategist published his 10 Predictions for 2012 today.
Click Here For Bob Doll's 10 Predictions >
From his note:
In summary, 2012 is likely to feature a slow-growth world that includes a recession in Europe. The United States faces headwinds, but manages to achieve growth of between 2% and 2.5%. China and India slow somewhat, but, along with the United States, make up two-thirds of global GDP growth. The big risk remains that of a financial breakdown in Europe, which would tip the developed world, if not the emerging world, into recession. Inflation should also continue to move lower. Should the muddle-through environment come to pass, we believe earnings and some improvement in confidence would allow equity markets to move higher, with US stocks leading the way.

We will die with horrified eyes in our faceless.
Try to prove it otherwise with poetry.
No more life
in this signifier
of pain.
Bare out in days
the rotten ours:
smile of the shamed.
The exorcism of evil
never strength gains,
since it's the strength that's evil
and the gain that rapes.
There's only one kind of angel—terrible,
for a reason.
And so I speak with those who make no choices,
those who don't and won't have voices,
those who never grasp the task of meaning
or community: those diagnosed, diseased,
who live and leave lacking infamy or applause,
who fail to stand at the head of groups or in circles,
who do not join in, who do not take sides or part,
who are, as the proud say, superfluous.
We are the people I'll die without, not for.
We won't invade each other's souls, won't meet.
We won't say friend, we won't say enemy,
and we will not stand together
in a name, in the future.
We, irresponsible, have no good conscience. We are not allied for change, are never radical. We do not feel the pleasure of courage, but sink into the horror of an anonymous displacement—for you reprehensible, for us inevitable.
Dante and Virgil pass us by; and you will be like them: the world will remember your name and theirs, never ours, for we have none.
For we are not lost in the waves of the marvelous.
We find no long-lasting roses, invent no glorious wheel.
If we are anything, it is blood and filth, no eternity.
We are the ones deemed tragic, guilty.
Because we are the faceless and we are in pain.
We do not have alternatives, we do not have a language.
We cannot respond to commandments, communications.
We do not make up a human race.
We do not have a history..
And we do not have time for complaints.
We lack the knowledge needed to place blame.
We lack being, god damn it, we lack the power to say what you say: "I am," "I will," "I can," "I persevere."
We are the ones who receive only condemnation.
We are the damned increasing the joy of the blessed.
We are the ones whose defects you've pinpointed, whose inertia you target with your silent poetic speech.
Because we are beasts, leopards, she-wolves. We brood, we fear, we are miserable. Hardly were we there and you contrived to speak our name. Hardly were we suffering and you chose to send us aid. Hardly were we alive and you told us, we must live.
But we do not want a right to know or be. We have not made an enemy of failure or embraced it. Victory does not exist in our erasement.
For our silence was always different from your silence. For us, there was no peace. We could seek no savior, nor imagine it. No consciousness of sun, no self-center.
You will tell us: we have wasted our time, our opportunities, squandered everything. Your life was a big maybe—an irrepressible stain.
Like everyone else. Like everyone.
Hell is here, yes. Here, but elsewhere also.
Take a look. It's not a nightmare.
Here we see the stars—of the knockout.
Here we look up—to faint.
Strange praise here: no escape.

Where can I find a light kit for this fan? I purchased a Hampton Bay light kit from **********, but I cant figure out how to install it. I think this fan is "special" meaning the mounts arent standard like other fans.
Anyone know where I can get a light kit for this fan, that would actually work without major modification?
Even the fan guy at ********** couldnt figure it out.
I did read the other replies, but Lamps Plus doesnt have that part number listed that was posted.
Also, someone else said do a search on google for Delano fan, this brings back a bunch of resuls, but not for the fan everyone is talking about in this thread.
Please help :)

I talked to the Hampton Bay people (1-800-307-3267) and they said only one light kit fits/works - you can special order it where you purchased your fan - ask for model #03210. It's a one-light globe (I just ordered it). It cost me $51.16 before tax.
I have the same fan and got a light kit from Minka at 800-221-7977. The other number I have for hampton bay in Norco, CA is 800-527-0998. I remember it was a bitch changing it withoiut directions but you have to turn the globe to get it to come off and if it was put on too tight like mine have fun!!!!

19 Responses to "Steam-powered box factory in operation since 1897"
Whoa. Working there with long hair is just asking for trouble.
My thoughts too. She probably should wear a "snood" like women factory workers did during WWII.
And what happened to the dog's tail, eh?
Not the box factory again Seymour.
That's just a TV studio where they film Krusty the Klown and other non-box-related programs. Since it has nothing to do with boxes, I'll just shut these blinds.
Love the video, what a great factory. However I came here to troll a bit about the new commenting system, which I find annoying because I have to click through to a different site to see/comment… but you threw a wrench in my troll-works, as this post is still using disqus. /me shrugs.
Interesting video, but could you hold off on the gratuitous OSHA bashing? There is a reason they exist and there is a reason that the big corporations want to weaken them. They are supposed to look out for the health and safety of the workers. Not the health of the profits or the safety of the shareholders.
When big companies bitch about regulation and moving to a more "business friendly climate" they are sometimes talking about places where worker safety isn't a problem.
I know you aren't praising dangerous machines just marveling at their workings, but one of the reasons that things aren't open like that anymore is that limbs and scalps were taken by them until they figured out they need to cover them up.Related:If I told you that there was a technology that could stop over 5,000 fingers getting cut off each year with table saws would you be surprised that an entire industry is fighting its implementation? The technology is called SawStop and the table saw manufacturers have blocked it for years. Not because it doesn't work, but because they think that the royalties for it are too much. They also have convinced a bunch of people that this safety shouldn't be mandated because Freedom! When in fact they just don't want to install it and pay for it. They push the burden back on the consumer instead. http://www.spockosbrain.com/2013/05/18/when-your-safety-cuts-into-industrys-bottom-line-you-lose-your-fingers/
I disagree. There are plenty of other people who would give their right arm for that job you have.
You can buy SawStop today if you want to. I don't want to. I don't want it to be mandated because I don't feel I need it and I don't want to pay for something that I don't want.
Alright Lefty.
While I think SawStop is great, I don't like the idea of Government forcing manufacturers or end-users to pay licensing fees for proprietary technology. Just as laws should be in the Public Domain, so should any tech that is mandated by the Gov't.
I encourage you to read this article. http://www.salon.com/2013/05/17/power_tool_industry_too_powerful_to_regulate_partner/singleton/
It goes into much greater detail the entire story about SawStop. It is quite interesting on a lot of levels.
I've had the Hobbit and LotR boxes forever. Interesting to see where they came from.
I remember seeing these type of belt drives at the cider mill we used to go to when i was a kid in MI. the engine was a water wheel, though; which is kind of cooler, to me. You can also see them steam powered at Greenfield Villiage/Henry Ford museum up there, that place is a national treasure.
also makes me think of the mill scene in Breaking Away, the origin of the local's nickname/cycle team's name "Cutters" as in stone-cutters as in the locals that built the university. can't find it on youtube but there's a lot of machinery porn in that scene.
True steampunk, without the punk B.S.
On the safety of the exposed belts, I noticed at around 6:50 (if memory serves) that the dog is missing most of its tail. I am guessing these are related.
Not all dogs have tails. Australian Shepherd for example.
I would've definitely loved to work in such a factory ! One can almost smell the smell of the wood while watching the video. Such a place sure needs to be preserved. As someone noted, the woman shown here should be told to wear some sort of hair protection.
Here's the product they were making the boxes for: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UU6OG4

CATEGORIES Interviews, Movies, Blu-ray DVDsThirty-seven years ago, director William Friedkin knew who was responsible for the critical and commercial failure of his "Exorcist" follow-up, 1977's allegorical action-adventure "Sorcerer": Darth Vader.
"Sorcerer" opened about a month after "Star Wars," replacing it at Hollywood's Chinese Theatre, for instance, only to be pulled a week later (after slow sales) and replaced by "Star Wars." To Friedkin, George Lucas's blockbuster had displaced not just "Sorcerer" but the entire movement of American director-driven cinema that had flourished in the early 1970s, to be supplanted ever-after by assembly-line franchise and action films designed more to make money than to create art.
These days, the 78-year-old Friedkin is more philosophical about "Sorcerer," acknowledging in his 2013 memoir "The Friedkin Connection" the role his own creative decisions played in the film's negative reception. For one thing, his hubris in remaking a classic (Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1953 adventure "The Wages of Fear") earned him the ire of critics who'd previously embraced him. Second, the title was misleading, suggesting a supernatural thriller like his last movie, not a jungle adventure about desperate men driving a volatile cargo of nitroglycerin through hellish terrain. ("Sorcerer" is a nickname painted on one of the trucks.)
Also, Friedkin had wanted to cast Steve McQueen but lost him when he balked at providing a make-work job for McQueen's new bride, Ali MacGraw, so that they wouldn't be separated during the long overseas shoot; eventual lead Roy Scheider gave a fine performance, but he wasn't the box-office draw that McQueen was. Shot in the Dominican Republic, "Sorcerer" was a notoriously difficult production -- it went millions over budget, performers were nearly killed while filming harrowing stunts, and everyone got sick, including Friedkin, who contracted malaria.
Today, however, "Sorcerer" is finally getting some vindication. Many critics regard "Sorcerer" as the director's overlooked masterpiece, and a newly-restored print is getting a brief theatrical re-release in various countries, and is out on Blu-ray as of April 22.
Speaking to Moviefone from his Hollywood office, Friedkin discussed "Sorcerer"'s journey from reviled to revered, the film's legendary production difficulties, and the its ultimately hopeful spiritual message. In Part II of the interview, which you can read here on Friday, April 25, he talks about the differences between filmmaking then and now, the supposed "Exorcist" curse, and his upcoming HBO movie about Mae West.
Moviefone: Why did it take so long for "Sorcerer" to catch on?
William Friedkin: Each of the studios that financed "Sorcerer," Universal and Paramount, were both sold three times since I made "Sorcerer." Every time that happens, all the legal documents from films they no longer consider current go underground. But in Los Angeles, there's this group called Cinefamily, with about 25,000 subscribers, and they had been playing the film regularly for many years, at least once a year. In 2011, they e-mailed me and told me that they had tried to book the film and were told by Paramount that they didn't own the film, and they didn't know who did. So I sent them to Universal, and the same answer came in. So I had to sue both companies to determine who owned the picture. I sued not for money but for discovery. That showed that the rights had been vested in a company called Vivendi, which had once owned both Universal and Paramount's foreign film operations.
Universal had only a 25-year lease on the film, and that had expired, but Paramount had to produce all this discovery. At that same time, Warner Bros. came along and said they would like to take over the whole thing and have it for Blu-ray and streaming. They wound up making a deal where Paramount has all the theatrical rights around the world, but Warner Bros. has all the home video and streaming. Warner financed the whole project, Paramount paid them half, and now Paramount is actively seeking theatrical distribution around the world, and the Blu-ray is coming out April 22.
And yet, even while the film was in legal limbo, some people still remembered it fondly and championed it.
Somehow, through all the years that it virtually wasn't shown at all, there were still film critics and historians who had seen it, on bad VHS copies or truncated prints, and the film continued to live in their minds. So there was a great drumbeat by historians, critics, and fans.
What revelations will fans find in the restoration?
It's the same film I made in 1977, only it looks as I had originally intended. The color and the densities are perfect, and the sound is considerably better. But I didn't add a frame. It's the same picture. Everything I ever intended visually is in the new print, and it never was in 35MM.
You're very insistent on presenting your films with the lighting, color, and sound the way you initially envisioned them.
We ran the film at the Chinese Theatre [in Hollywood] on Saturday night. That's probably the most famous theater in America. And I was in there for several hours on Saturday, starting at eight in the morning, with a team from Dolby Sound and Boston Sound, and we retuned the entire sound system at the Chinese Theatre for this screening. And I boosted the light on the screen by one stop. I can't control every screening anymore, but what I insist on -- the studio can screen it on a sheet in a barn in Utah if they want, but not if I'm going to be there. If I'm going to be there and do an introduction or a Q&A, it has to be the film I made.
Two years ago, before the Chinese changed their screen, I refused to let them run a print of "The Exorcist." It was beyond salvation because that IMAX screen they had was not compatible with a 2D print.
Do you think the film would have been a bigger hit if you'd been able to hire your first-choice star, Steve McQueen, instead of your "French Connection" co-star Roy Scheider?
Steve was a great actor, and I was disappointed when he didn't do it. Having recently seen Scheider in it, I think he's great. Would there have been more box office? Probably. Steve was among the biggest stars at that time. Would it have been a better picture? I'm not sure Steve would have been able to bring as much to it as Scheider did as an actor. Scheider was much more intense. McQueen would crest in intensity. When he was cast right, in something like "Bullitt" or "The Thomas Crown Affair," he was fantastic. If he had to show real emotion or pain, he would have been at a loss. And Roy did that brilliantly.
It seems like making a film in the jungle and having a "Heart of Darkness" experience, where the chaos of the production is echoed in the story told on screen, was a common career-halting experience for the great directors of the 1970s -- besides you and "Sorcerer," it also happened to Francis Ford Coppola with "Apocalypse Now" and Werner Herzog with "Fitzcarraldo."
It didn't happen to everybody. The examples you cited may be it. I don't know what happened there. The films you mentioned are varying degrees of quality. I think "Apocalypse Now" is a great film, and that's all I think about it. I know Francis, he's a very good friend. He did have difficulty. Rightly or wrongly, we all tried to jump the highest part of the fence then, not the lowest part. If you go for the highest part of the fence, you're often going to stumble and fall. And sometimes you'll set a new record by jumping higher than anyone else did. I know that people like Francis and myself were interested in going for, not just the best we could do, but better than we could do. And we were supported by the studios in that, to a certain extent. That would be much less palatable today, since "Star Wars."
Were the studios looking for an excuse to end the era of creative carte blanche and make safer and more formulaic movies, and did these overly ambitious projects give them that excuse?
That was the result of it, certainly. Whether they set out to do that, I don't know. If "Star Wars" had failed, and you never know, the climate of American films would be totally different today. There wouldn't be all these films about vampires and werewolves and witches and superheroes, all made with CGI. It would have even held back the development of CGI. But "Star Wars" was a massive success, and everything that's followed it has been an offshoot.
Clouzot's original "Wages of Fear" was seen as an existential statement about man's place in an unforgiving universe. "Sorcerer," however, seems to be more about politics -- the need for international cooperation to prevent a devastating conflagration -- or about spirituality, with the four damned men slogging through Hell and striving for redemption.
I always felt that "Sorcerer" dealt with matters like purgatory on Earth and, in a sense, the mystery of faith. We all end up the same way, and one's life is not something we have any control over. That's certainly one of the major themes of "Sorcerer." The fact that these guys all are criminals -- what would they be doing in a town like that if they weren't criminals? The interesting thing to me, the most mysterious part of any journey, is how the travelers came to the starting line in the first place. I wanted to explore that, how these people ended up in a kind of living purgatory. And then, the journey itself is purgatory. The journey itself is savage. They're all seeking a kind of retribution, a kind of atonement for their sins.
As I see it recently, all over the world now, in screenings like the one we had Saturday night at the Chinese, but everywhere else I've seen it, and everywhere else it's played, in England and Toronto and Istanbul, it seems to play the same way, and people are now getting that idea, that it's about purgatory and the reclamation of one's soul and the mystery of faith. To a great extent, that's a metaphor for all of our lives. We each have a cross to bear. We're each aware of the good and evil that exists in all of us.
So I don't really judge the characters that interest me. They're not superheroes, that's for sure. With a superhero, you pretty much know what the outcome is going to be. That, to me, is a kind of pornography. It's a false picture. It is not a mirror held up to life. There are no superheroes. There are people who do very good and very evil things as well. Sometimes our better angels fail to thrive. There are some clearly evil people in this world, guys like Hitler and Manson, but for most of us, we contain equal parts of good and evil.
How did John Huston's "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" influence "Sorcerer"?
For me, that's one of the top five American films ever made. I was very influenced by "Treasure" in almost everything I've done. I think it's a masterpiece, and that's a word I don't throw around. There are a handful of masterpieces, and that's one of them.
So it was also about characters who are neither all good nor all evil, but whose mettle is tested by extreme situations in an inhospitable foreign land.
I believe those characters, all of them. They all represent facets of human nature. And yet the story is a great ride.
Is that how it works for you, with you trying to balance a great ride, as in "The French Connection," for instance, with a philosophical underpinning?
It has to have a philosophical underpinning of some kind. I won't just do some mindless horror film or adventure film or whatever. That's why the last couple of films I did ["Bug" and "Killer Joe"] were written by Tracy Letts, who's one of the best playwrights in America.
Those films don't come along often for me, or anybody else, either. I've been directing films for about 50 years, and I've made 17 films, but I've been working all the time on something. I haven't done all the films that I've started to work on because I couldn't fulfill my vision. I've abandoned many more scripts than I've made.

AnyWhen Ensemble Celebrates THE BRIGHT AND RUSHING WORLD CD Release at Rubin Museum Today
will celebrate the release of their new album on Parma Recordings, "The Bright and Rushing World," with a performance at New York City's Rubin Museum of Art, Harlem in the Himalayas series, 150 W. 17th Street.
Tickets are $18.00 in advance and $20.00 on the day of show; Museum Member Price is $16.20 (available at the door). For venue information, visit www.RMANYC.org.
AnyWhen Ensemble is: Douglas Detrick, composer and trumpet; Hashem Assadullahi, saxophone; Shirley Hunt, cello; Steve Vacchi, bassoon; and Ryan Biesack, percussion. Sara Schoenbeck, bassoon will perform substitute for Vacchi on 1.17.
The Bright and Rushing World, an ambitious addition to this singular composer's list of accomplishments, is a 10 movement suite, made possible with support from Chamber Music America's 2011 New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development program funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. This extremely competitive grant attracts over 250 applicants every year.
From Douglas Detrick: "I composed The Bright and Rushing World over nine difficult months. Persevering in this struggle gave me a sense of ownership over the work - I knew everything there was to know about it. But, after all that time I still didn't know what the title should be. And I was shocked. At first it seemed like clumsy, ignorant neglect, but soon I realized something important - the piece didn't need me any more. Now that it was finished, it was ready to go out into the world, and it wasn't about to wait for me to give it a name. In a moment of clarity that surprised me with its intensity, I wrote this ten-line poem from which I drew the title of the piece and of each movement. I had finally given the piece a name, but it had taken that long to give it the right one."
The Bright and Rushing World:
the door is open
and you watch as he goes out
a seeker, insubmissive
into the bright and rushing world,
who, over years in your care,
you never thought to give a name.
you gasp and ask aloud
how can you live without a name?
a question so weightless it floats away
on the wind of his leaving.
About the ensemble: We believe in the unexpected. Our signature instrumentation sets us apart, but we make our real impact through bold new compositions that integrate chamber music conception with jazz spontaneity. We believe that great music can happen anywhere, anyhow, anywhy, and anywhen - ours is fitting music for this bright and rushing world.
Douglas Detrick's AnyWhen Ensemble (www.douglasdetrick.com/anywhen/) has performed at the Jazz Gallery and the Stone in New York, Center for New Music in San Francisco, and on festivals including the Festival of New Trumpet Music curated by Dave Douglas, and the Is That Jazz? Festival in Seattle, WA curated by Tom Baker. The group has also performed and given master classes at colleges across the country including Cornish College of the Arts, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, University of Oregon, and Willamette University.
Douglas Detrick is a composer and trumpet player from Portland, Oregon. Equally at home as a performer and a composer, he is a versatile and eclectic musician establishing his reputation as an innovator in jazz, chamber music, electronic music and improvised music. AnyWhen Ensemble is his primary musical project, but his music has also been performed by the NOW Ensemble, the Meridian Arts Ensemble, and Brian McWhorter's Beta Collide, and recently conducted the Cherry Blossom Arts Orchestra in his Downbeat Student Music Award-?Winning arrangement of Duke Ellington's Single Petal of a Rose.

"A lot of people always said he looks like Lincoln," said his wife, Mary Sayre.

Less than a week after a devastating fire destroyed the Mount Eden firehouse, four apparatus, supplies and equipment, Mount Eden Fire Chief Doug Herndon and his all-volunteer crew of firefighters, are back in the business of protecting and serving the Mount Eden community.
The early morning fire last Tuesday consumed the facilities and equipment, but it did not take the spirit and determination from the department.
Film crews from the cable network HGTV set up this past weekend at the Eagle Lake Expo Center to shoot "Endless Yard Sale."
The show is a special on the 127 Yard Sale, highlighting the unique items shoppers can find.
The competition-style show featured two teams who were given a certain amount of money to shop at the yard sale.
The goal was to bring back their findings to an appraiser to assess their value and make more than they initially brought in. The team who found the most valuable items won the competition.
Yellow crime scene tape surrounded three vendor tents at the Eagle Lake Expo Center Saturday afternoon.
According to the Lawrenceburg Police Department, a compliant was made concerning subjects selling counterfeit items. Detective Jeremy Cornish began an investigation of three booths at the 127 Yard Sale.

Sorry, I'm not a programmer in the strictest sense, but I do have an idea for something to develop on the MWS if someone wants to take a crack at it:
An addon for the MWS that takes the status update and posts it to the microblog of the user's choice (Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, etc.)
Reason being, manye folks still don't know about the MWS, but using the status update, it would be a neat way to merge the exisiting functionality into something that would be able to populate other services.
If someone wants to take this further, I'd love to see the presence page acquire the status update, and then there be a notification in the contact's app (colored button) that a person is has MWS installed, has it on/off, and shows the last status update/blog post (user preference, settings tab for addition options). Then when a person subscribes from their mobile device to your MWS page, they not only get that RSS update, but they can also see it in the contacts/calendar at a glance

Von in AZ
The only positive is the smell. Other than that the oil is not viscous or tacky. In the hot AZ weather when my bike is left in the garage I find .a pool of oil on the ground. At first I thought I had a counter shaft seal leak but it is actually the filter oil dripping off of the filter and down the side of my bike. I don't over oil, in fact I probably under oil my filters. This is the only oil I have used that does this. The can also shoots a steady pin point stream that is hard to coat the filter with. Should be a wide stream to coat more easilyRead All Reviews
