Tennessee's soon-to-be governor: 'We don't want to be in an adversarial relationship'
Gov.-elect Bill Haslam spoke today at a forum on economic development in Oak Ridge, which mostly focused on various and positive partnerships -- including those between the state of Tennessee and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Afterwards, however, I asked him about the dual role that he must play as governor, overseeing the economic development activities but also the environmental enforcement in Oak Ridge and how he views that balance of partner and regulator. Haslam, as mayor of Knoxville, was a recent signatory to a letter to DOE Asst. Secretary Ines Triay in which he and other mayors raised concerns about the environmental damages in Oak Ridge and asked DOE to step up its funding of these projects.
"We're in an interesting position, with TDEC (Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation) we're one of the regulators for Oak Ridge and the DOE. On the other hand, I'm very aware that the local folks of DOE can only do what they've been funded to do out of Washington.
"One of the messages is we don't want to be in an adversarial relationship. We want to be in a partnership. But to do that we really need DOE to adquately fund the cleanup. So that, I think, will kind of be the very basic, practical conversation that we will have."

DALLAS—Going to the Fair? Grab your jacket.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to sprinkle rain throughout North Texas today as a cold front makes its way through the region.
"There are going to be some pockets of heavy rain, but it won't be widespread," National Weather Service meteorologist Jason Dunn said. "It shouldn't be too bad."
The showers are just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and the nationally televised game between TCU and SMU.
But after the showers, it'll feel a bit more like fall in North Texas.
High temperatures are expected to remain in the 80s for much of next week and dip into the 60s in the early mornings.
"It should be pretty nice next week," Dunn said.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) - New Arkansas coach Bret Bielema says Tennessee offensive line coach Sam Pittman is joining the Razorbacks, where he will have the same job.
Bielema announced the hiring Thursday, a day after Tennessee's Jim Chaney came on board as offensive coordinator for Arkansas.
Bielema calls Pittman a "relentless" recruiter who's well-regarded as an offensive line coach. He says Pittman's experience with Chaney is a plus for the Razorbacks next season.
This season, the Volunteers led the Southeastern Conference and ranked fourth in the NCAA in fewest sacks allowed per game.
Pittman spent one year on the Tennessee staff following five seasons coaching the offensive line at North Carolina. He replaces Chris Klenakis, who came to Arkansas three years ago from Nevada.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would return nearly twice the amount of money they received from the U.S. Treasury if the current bailout arrangement isn't changed over the next decade, according to the White House budget office.
By the end of March, the two mortgage-finance companies that were seized by the U.S. in 2008 will have returned $202.9 billion in dividend payments, after receiving $187.5 billion in federal support between 2008 and 2011. The budget projections released Monday by the White House Office of Management and Budget show that the companies could return an additional $163.8 billion through the 2024 fiscal year if the bailout arrangement remains in place.

The UVa women's basketball team shot just 25 percent from the field and lost its ACC Opener at ninth ranked Maryland 79-55.
Tiana Hawkins and Alyssa Thomas each had 20 points for Maryland. The 'Hoos were led by Ataira Franklin's 15 points. Jazmin Pitts had 11 and Sarah Imovbioh scored 10.
Virginia has lost 13 of the last 16 games to Maryland, but this was the most lopsided win in the series since the Cavaliers lost by 27 to the Terps in 2007.
The 'Hoos were out rebounded 50-39 in Thursday's loss.
Cavalier coach Joanne Boyle says, "You can tell your team everything, you're not going to out jump them, that they're physical, they were plus 20 on the boards on everyone, and don't try to out jump them and put a body on them, we talked about it, we ran drills against it and we just went out there and we just stayed in a funk."
UVA forward Jazmin Pitts said, "We definitely need to find ourselves in the next ten days, and see if we really want to do this or not because its going to be a battle come ACC time, it was tough because they were sending everyone to the boards it was just a battle down there."
Virginia falls to 5-3 with the loss. The Cavaliers are now on an 11-day break for final exams before hosting Coppin State on December 18th.

(NECN) - Maine officials are asking for the public's help in an investigation of a missing person. Thirty-one-year-old Kevin Stone Crute of Cushing was last seen at Ande's Market in Warren on Tuesday, May 21.
Family and friends have not heard from Crute since that day, and his family says that is very unusual.
Crute is described as a white male who is 6'2" and 200 pounds with red hair and blue eyes.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office is working with Maine State Police, Major Crimes Unit, Maine Warden Service and Maine Marine Patrol.
If anyone has seen Crute since May 21 or knows of his whereabouts, you're asked to please call 207-593-9132.

"I'm sure that Dixie Carter would love to do a WWE versus TNA pay-per-view. Why wouldn't she? A friend of mine who has way too much time on his hands just started a new beverage company here in the United States. It's called Shmuley's Soda Company and he's now distributed in three stores in the Bronx and two in Brooklyn.
"He would like to do a global promotion with Coca-Cola. I don't suggest that Coca-Cola would be profitable having to do a global co-promotion with Shmuley's Soda Company. In the same way it would make no sense for WWE with 95% global share to do an event with TNA with its 5% global market share!"
Heyman is spot on with the above statement and we thought it was worth posting again on a slow news day.

Divorce can be a time of great stress, not only for the separating spouses but for the children who depend on them, as well. With divorce, often comes a transition period for the family that may include moving homes, splitting time between parents and even meeting a parent's new mate. These events can promote feelings of anger, anxiety, confusion and guilt.
Divorce can have a huge impact on a child. While every family is different and have its own methods and timeframe to cope with a divorce, there are several things parents can do to make the adjustment easier on the children.

For the second time in as many days, the United States took home a gold medal in slopestyle snowboarding.
After Sage Kotsenburg won the men's competition on Saturday, Jamie Anderson followed it up by winning the first ever women's slopestyle competition on the strength of a monster second run in Sunday's final.Anderson came into her final run needing a big score and she delivered on the strength of a couple 720s on the closing jumps. Her final score came in at 95.25, ahead of Finland's Enni Rukajarvi, who finished with a 92.50 for the silver. Great Britain's Jenny Jones earned the bronze with a final score of 87.25.
Unlike Kotsenburg, Anderson came into the event as a strong medal contender and she backed it up. She won the slopestyle competition at the X-Game four times, including in 2012 and 2013 and then earned the silver just weeks ago. She now has some gold from the Olympics to add to her collection.
American Karly Shorr finished in sixth place with her run of 75.00 in her second attempt.

She can't make a bird disappear or pull a rabbit out of a hat, but Amazing Anna has mastered the art of squirting wet streams of orgasmic goodness out of her pink pussy. Do you think David Copperfield can do that?
AmazingAnna is a 37-year-old slim amateur MILF (literally a MILF since she was actually preggo in at least one of the scenes on the site). She is just under five feet tall, weighs 100 pounds and, as I mentioned before, she is also a squirter. You can find Anna's site on the Chick Pass Network and if you have spent any time there then you know what you're in for. For those of you who are new to the network, I will explain further.
The network was started by a hairy, small-dicked dude named Logan and his wife, Vixen. They are an amateur swinging couple and since they started it years ago, the network has grown to include many sites featuring a boat-load of amateur chicks (the content overlaps throughout the network as various chicks play with each other).
The best thing about Anna's site - as with all the others on the network - is how amateur it all is. From the performers to the living-room setting to the talking and joking around during the scenes, these are true swingers just having horny fun.
Anna has produced 29 videos and 29 photo sets and they feature a mix of solo, lesbian, straight hardcore and group play. Navigation is a little annoying, because some of the long scenes are split up into parts that aren't even presented in the proper order or marked that they are parts in their titles.
The site makes it pretty easy for you to find scenes you'll like, though. You can use things like an advanced search function and content tags to locate movies that'll appeal to you. When you do find a scene you really like, you can save it as a "favorite" if you so wish and post comments and leave ratings.
The photos are high-res and can be downloaded in Zip files, while the movies can be streamed and downloaded in a few formats, including a great-quality Windows Media file (there is also an MP4 option for portable devices).
The content is dated and that makes it easy to see that there hasn't been anything new added to the collection since 2009. The good news is that you get access to that large network I mentioned earlier and it includes sites like Dannis Playground, Crista Lynn 69 and Foxy Roxanne. Some are updating and some aren't, but the network looks to be providing at least one update every day.
Amazing Anna is a good amateur performer with a nice squirting pussy. However, she doesn't have a lot of content and she isn't updating anymore, so you won't stick around for very long unless you're also interested in the huge amateur network.

A Midlands animal rescue organization is partnering with law enforcement agencies to provide education and tools to assist officers in the humane handling of stray pets that may be displaying behaviors that appear to be threatening to officers.
The partnership comes on the heels of last month's fatal shooting of a dog in an Irmo neighborhood after she displayed what the responding police officer described as threatening behavior.
Irmo Police Chief Brian Buck says a Pawmetto Lifeline board member approached him after the September 2 incident about the potential for the training. Buck said having a class for all law enforcement agencies was a good idea.
"We are always open to exploring new techniques to reach the best possible outcome of the situations we face on a daily basis," said Buck. "If we can learn alternative ways to deal with situations like these and have outcomes that keep both our officers and the community safe, we are open to the opportunity."
"It is our goal to provide training for the officers so they can better interpret behaviors of fearful animals and respond so no one is harmed in the process," said Denise Wilkinson, Pawmetto Lifeline CEO. "Our Irmo officers do not encounter stray dogs or lost dogs on a daily basis and it takes time and training to understand the signals a dog is presenting when they feel threatened or fearful. Through our partnership and training efforts, we hope that police officers in the Midlands will feel better equipped to respond to a situation like this in the future, so the ultimate outcome is not the loss of a beloved companion pet."
On Labor Day, Jared Mann and Karen Counts returned to their Charing Cross home to find a notice on their door that their dog Kenya had been shot. An officer responding to a 911 call from a jogger encountered the 4-year-old German Shepherd and eventually shot the dog in the family's yard.
The family has been adamant that excessive force was used, however, the police officer felt he had no other options available to handle the situation.
"Our officers are animal lovers and the officer that shot Kenya feels horrible about the outcome," said Buck. "He too has pets and he has helped us rescue roaming dogs safely in the past."
The training will be conducted by Teoti Anderson, a certified dog training specialist, and Carolina Wildlife at no cost to the attendees.
The November 1 class is available to any law enforcement officer in the Midlands.

County Violent And Property Crime Rates Up In 2012
Rates Higher In First Half Of 2012 Compared To First Half Of 2011
Violent and property crime rates in San Diego County rose in the first half of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011, the San Diego Association of Governments announced Wednesday.
» Sign Up For Breaking News Alerts» Like Us On Facebook» Follow Us On TwitterThe region's mid-year violent crime rate rose 8 percent, while the property rate climbed 7 percent in the year-over-year comparison, according to the regional planning agency.Though higher than last year's mid-year crimes rates, this year's tallies are lower than any year between 2003 and 2010.It's too early to tell if this year's uptick is temporary or if it's the beginning of a trend, according to Cynthia Burke, director of criminal justice research for SANDAG."We have enjoyed historic lows in crime rates over the past decade, so it's not entirely surprising that the numbers are now going up," Burke said in a statement.According to SANDAG, a total of 5,808 violent crimes were reported to law enforcement in the county between January and June. That's an average of almost 32 a day, compared to 29 per day during the first six months of 2011.Violent crimes include homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults.The agency said that of the 33,599 property crimes reported locally in the first half of this year, 63 percent were larcenies, 20 percent burglaries and 17 percent motor vehicle thefts.

Leonetti's owners are branching out to cattle, an ideal adjunct to their Cabernets and Merlots. In advance of the commercial introduction of this beef, expected to start this fall, Chris sent some samples and a bottle of Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 to try with them. I grilled some hamburgers for lunch and two kinds of steak for dinner—tenderloin and bavette. I seasoned them only with salt, with no marinating or sauce, the better to get the straight flavor of the beef itself.

The opponent of high-alcohol wines is face to face with a 15.1 percent alcohol Cabernet
Posted: May 3, 2010 By James Laube
Randy Dunn has been one of California's most vocal opponents of high-alcohol wines. Recently, we met to talk about the trend toward riper grapes and rising alcohol levels. He's in the camp that wines shouldn't exceed 14 percent alcohol.
We met last week, over a flight of six variations on his 2007 Washington state Cabernet, which Dunn is making under the Feather label. The wines Dunn poured ranged from 13.7 to 15.1 percent alcohol, with stops at 14, 14.3, 14.7 and 15 in between. To demonstrate a point, the original wine had been doctored to lower the alcohol levels, using reverse osmosis.

Washington winemaker pioneered single-vineyard wines, Syrah
Posted: October 8, 2009 By Harvey Steiman
The first time I met David Lake he showed me a freshly made Syrah, the first Syrah made in Washington. An innovator, he had a clear idea of who he was and what was possible, and he stuck to it.

New venture links up with Suncadia Resort
Posted: August 18, 2009 By Harvey Steiman
Former Domaine Serene winemaker Tony Rynders is consulting on Swiftwater Cellars, a new winery on the 6,400-acre Suncadia Resort 80 miles east of Washington. This might be the only American winery, and certainly the only one in Washington, in a resort. It is is in Cle Elum, near Roslyn, in the Cascade Range nowhere near any grapevines. That hasn't fazed dozens of wineries in the Seattle area. Some of Washington's best wines are made there from grapes grown even farther away. Swiftwater's will be coming from owner Don Watts' Zephyr Ridge Vineyard in Washington's Horse Heaven Hills, plus sources in Walla Walla and Willamette Valley.

The education of our children is a priority and concern for everyone living in the Heart of Illinois. Our news coverage is full of the financial problems school districts face, from closing and consolidating schools, to increasing class sizes...the list goes on and on. In fact, the cuts have gone so deep many teachers are digging into their own pockets to buy needed supplies for their classrooms.
So, what's the solution? Does the responsibility lie in the hands of the teachers? Parents? Taxpayers?
The truth is, if we all share responsibility for the problems...and the solutions. That's why we believe it's time to make more than every second count — it's time to make Every Classroom Count.
HOI 19 Kids Count and CEFCU will award $1,000 grants bi-weekly to Heart of Illinois classrooms. If you know of classroom that is in need of money for supplies, classroom tools or other educational necessities then apply for an HOI 19 Kids Count One Class at a Time Grant. Grant application forms can also be picked up at WHOI-TV during normal business hours.
Preschool to High School classrooms are eligible, and must be located in one of the following counties: Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, McLean, Fulton, Mason, Stark, Marshall, Putnam, or Livingston County. All grant applications will be evaluated and awarded by our Kids Count Advisory Board comprised of educators, community leaders, and CEFCU and HOI 19 staff committee members.

23Miley Cyrus Joins the Literati
Playing make-believe author isn't just for Lauren Conrad anymore!
Guess who else "wrote" a "book"? Why, Miley Cyrus. It's autobiographical, and I bet you can't guess what the title is. I mean, I have about 800 potentially awesome titles for the Miley autobiography running around in my head like a bunch of coked-up Jonas Brothers, but she decided to go with the totally dull Miley Cyrus: Miles to Go. Le sigh.
Miley talks about how the other kids were really mean to her before she was famous, and I'm so excited to bring you these little pearls of literary genius plunked down by her ghost-writer:
Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled-cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't chicken. What could they do to me? I was surrounded by people. I stood up, still a foot shorter then they were, and said, 'What's your problem? What did I ever do to you?'
And my personal favorite, as she's talking about beating out Taylor Momsen for the role of Hannah Montana, when she was like 12:
I didn't dare forget the struggle. There was a reason for it. I brought that girl with me, and she reminds me to be compassionate," she writes. "To not hold grudges. To be supportive. To be there for others when I know I'm needed.
Ohhhhhhhhh, the struggle!!!! IT IS CRUSHING ME.
There's also some boring shit about Nick Jonas in there, if you care about that sort of thing.

I really like her dress in that pic.
I'm sure Taylor is just crying into her cereal as we speak over losing the Hannah Montana role.
The money would have been awesome but I think Jenny Humphrey and edgy fashion model is a much better role.
Oh, and not being controlled by Disney is probably fantastic.
Ugh, gag me with a spoon. Isn't it bad enough that she spews her life story on that stupid video blog? Now she expects people to want to read about it, too? I'm sure her life is full of turmoil. You know, all of the money, fame, unlimited wardrobe, endorsements, AND cute boys! Oh boy, Miley's got it so bad!
Oh the other hand, I would kill for this dress. It's absolutely incredible!!!
The girl has good imagination…..NOT
I don't understand the immense hatred for Miley Cyrus. Yes she's extremely annoying, but really, lots of girls that age are. You can't blame her for being famous and making TONS of money while doing it.
A bunch of kids a foot taller than her surround her. What could they possibly do to her?
Beat her up. Hellooo.
Those kids probably didn't even want to harass her. They just wanted her autograph.
I admit it: I will probably read it. I am almost 18 years old and I love Miley Cyrus.
Don't judge me. =/
hahaha how is this a book?? welcome to EVERY single person's elementary to middle school experience. shouldn't you wait until you're at least legal before you write about "how hard" your life has been? please, the girl's been fed with a silver spoon since she could crawl, and we're supposed to feel sympathy for her?
I am so with you on this.
Oh my goodness, guys, I have amazing news. BEING AN ADOLESCENT IS TOUGH AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF YOU.
What is Miley, like 15?
no she's 16
Wow, three paragraphs made me want to vomit, can you imagine the insipidness of the … what do you figure, 120 pages… "book?" Ugh.
She isn't even legal and thinks she's had a long enough life to "write" an autobiography?
I'm betting Stephenie Meyer was the ghost writer.
I have found that clutching grilled cheese sandwiches end in a very sticky manner. Nothing worse than being the shortest person with a wrist full of melted cheese.
hahaha i'm not going to lie, i bought the book and read it. it actually wasn't that bad but it had its moments of ridiculousness. however, it also had some really surprising moments and bits of information i was unaware of and i am a HUGEEEE miley fan.
plus, she's not going to be making all this money in about two years so she had to strike while the iron was still hot.
i've heard that miley is gonna quit her carrer as an actor
On the other hand, anything that gets kids to read a book instead of watching stupid shit like Hannah Montana on TV is probably to the plus side.
you are a butthole cause shit IS A MEAN WORD i will hunt you down and SHOOT you cause i LOVE Hannah Montana.
hahahahahahahaha. at least the idiot can spell!
Brook Shields was full of herself too.. discussing how to treat servants in her book On your own.
She probably needed more money for some decent teeth.
Her teeth just irritate me the more I look at them because they're so odd looking!
I think she's making a fool of everyone.
She knows that the more horrible it is the more everyone will have to buy it and read it so they can find how exactly HOW painful it is and make fun of it.
She's a smart one…or her manager is and she's an idiot teenager.
Which is probably the more likely case.
how do i put this. I think you americans are beeing realy stupid. i´m almost laughing, you´re using too much time on criticise everybody else. just because you wanna be like them.. it´s totally absurt.
Oh come on! The title of the book is a double-double entendre. Miles, meaning both Miley and distance; To Go, meaning both portable and in the future. Whoever came up with the title should win an award. The only similar title I can think of is Enter the Dragon (the Bruce Lee movie).

CONCORD, CA- Shoppers at a discount grocery store got more than they bargained for in Concord, California.
A mystery man paid for everyone's groceries... With everyone wondering where he came from.
The man asked the manager at a Grocery Outlet Bargain Market if he could cover the cost of groceries.
Supervisor Jaime Flores says the man spent over $600 to pay the bills for about half a dozen shocked, but happy shoppers.
"We had people hugging him. People were asking him if he won the lottery, if he had a good job, but he didn't really want to give out any information," said Flores.
The experience has become a memory for Flores who asked the man why he was so giving.
"He replied with why not? Why not. He truly was a generous, humble person," said Flores.
Surveillance video did capture the mystery man in action, but store management is protecting that video and respecting the man's wishes to remain anonymous.
You may think you've got your dog trained. But when was the last time you got a helping – mouth – carrying in the groceries?

NM AG: Is Horse Meat a Threat to Health in NM?
Equine Welfare Alliance | April 16, 2013
(SANTA FE)—Attorney General Gary King today expressed grave concerns over the potential health risks associated with consumption of horse meat processed at the proposed horse slaughtering plant in Roswell.
"As Attorney General, I have specific authority to enforce New Mexico food safety laws that are applicable to such a facility in our state," said Attorney General King.
New Mexico has had laws on its books for more than seven decades protecting our citizens from Adulterated Food. Scientific studies show that horse meat fits the legal definition of an adulterated food product due to the presence of many chemical substances routinely used on horses that are deemed unfit for human consumption.
"Recent occurrences of food mislabeling and horse meat contamination have been widely reported in Europe," adds AG King. "The European Union will ban the import of horse meat from North America effective July 1, 2013."
The AG says experience in Europe shows that there is no foolproof way to be certain that horse meat will not enter the human food chain here in New Mexico.
Should the horse slaughtering plant be given the green light to open by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the AG's office will closely monitor health and safety practices at the facility.
"I will vigorously pursue all legal remedies available to me if we discover any violations of New Mexico food safety laws," AG King promised.
Habitat for Horses is a 501.c.3 nonprofit equine protection organization supported solely by donations. We have around 200 donkeys and horses under our care, plus one ornery, old mule. Most of them are here because law enforcement removed them from their previous owner. Our ability to rehabilitate and rehome them comes from the financial support of people like you.

CNN lays off more than 40 journalists – FT.com
Nielsen revealed that CNN's ratings for the key 25 to 54 year old demographic slumped last week to their lowest level since May 2012, with CNN averaging 78,000 viewers for the whole day and 98,000 in prime time.
Can this be right? If so, it would seem to make Instapundit's daily audience larger than CNN's.

Jason Blevins: I would not recommend buy any used Climbing Gear, Ropes, Harnesses, Ect...Climb Shoes are a little Different...You never know what the gear/ropes have been through and looks tells Nothing!!! I have 4 Ball Nuts, THeir Bomber Protection for Trad. Climbing...But Only Designed for 1 Fall, but when nothing fits, it's more Solid than a Cam if placed right!!! Buy New!!! Expencive 1 time use and meant for only non-wieth bearing Uses( Except that 1 lead fall..no aid, hanging on, Back-up Ancor Only, with slick in it(no weight, just extra back-up)...So Really 2 Uses , 1 mainly Trad. Leading or no weight on it backup!!! After Weight is put on the Copper molds... Great pro high price, 1 fall or weight put on and time to Retire!!! Climb Safe!!! I would love to get for half price but..Only NEW!!! Good Luck! Make sure to use as Backup Ancors and give them a little slack, not wieght on them!!! If you fall that ballnut's Copper will mold into the crack!!! Reallly meant for 1 Major weight Hit!!! ===================================================================== Good advice if you're inexperienced or don't know what you're doing, otherwise there's really no problem at all buying used gear and you aren't going to get some good old gear like Lowe/Byrne ballnuts any other way. Where on earth did you get those ideas? I have four sets of the vastly superior Lowe/Byrne ballnuts and have had the #2-4 on my free climbing rack since they came out. I've taken six twenty-footers in a row onto one of my #3's in the span of twenty minutes and it came out pretty-as-you-please easy without any fuss at all and I'd take six more rides on it tomorrow without a shred of hesitation. A thread I put up on RC awhile back on the subject: Careful consideration when putting your balls on the line... !
I like my ballnutz. As it has been said they fit in parallel sided cracks when the slimmest cams won't, and they even have better ratings. The major downfall is that they can be a pita to clean if weighted heavily. I would only recommend the three smallest sizes since above that cams cover that range. I had a friend who weighs over 200lbs take a 30 footer onto the smallest ballnutz available, blue #1, and it held. I couldn't clean it, but when it got colder, it came right out. I also would not recommend using them for free climbing on softer rock. In the SE we have lots of thin seams in quartzite and granite that I wouldn't leave these on the ground. The larger sizes will be fine in some of the harder sandstone.
People love talking about what they know nothing about. Preferably, I'd like to add, if they have the reading comprehension skills of a bout-to-fail 3rd grader, or are Ellenor. I caught my buddy on six consecutive whippers on the #1 as her only piece at the off-the-ground crux on a sandstone pitch. They hold falls, they work fine after doing so, they are useful pro, Absolute, NEW!!!!! Gettin' dumber by association.
I've seen other forums that allow you to 'ignore' posts from particular users. Can this be done here?
Paragraphs are aid.
Uhhh, what?
I have 2 1/2 sets of trangos and aid the shit out of them. When stuck l sling the trigger and funk on it till the ball retracts and it flies out. Have broken one #1 (held fall still) and one #5 (funking) where the ball is soldered on-Trango sent me two new ones free. Very durable, have held whippers, and are indispesible for aid. I trust all sizes to hold a fall, would equalize the smaller sizes if runout free climbing thin face
Jason, this is a discussion, aka a forum. My reply about it not welding was simply a different stance. There was no name calling or negative criticism by myself. I don't proclaim to be an all-knowing climber. I do like to participate in many discussions. So don't get so bent out of shape when someone has a different view point. Also, the paragraph you quoted from me wasn't even the one where I had a different view point about welding. Sorry if I disagree with you and your fathers extensive experience in the Piedmont. I also have a lot of experience with these pieces and have taken falls on them as well as seen others take massive falls on them. In my opinion, if my story above of friend falling doesn't "weld" the smallest ballnutz, hard to say what will in a free climbing scenario. From your previous post, it seems you have no experience with this piece falling on one or even placing one. It is good to listen to manufacturer's advice, but they will always be on the conservative side because it protect them from liability. I agree with the others that well written paragraphs and sentences will help get your view across better. I can barely figure out what you are trying to get across to us in your last paragraph or the ones before that.
According to one of the two suppliers, both come out of the same factory but one is certified, the other not........... Find out which one is and which one is not..... :-)
and the troll show continues with some really well thought out and embarrassing replies. god I love mtn proj!
I can't read Blevins without getting dumber, quick. No thank you, sir. I won't be getting crosseyed on your behalf.

Behind the cash register at the Shell station at Lakeview Drive and Dale Mabry in Hillsborough County, Gabriel, who didn't want to give his last name, is one of the smiling faces helping customers.
Early Wednesday, a man wearing a hoodie and gloves entered the store to rob him saying, "give my all the money. Put it in a bag or I'll kill you." Gabriel didn't comply. "Actually. I had the bag in my hand. And I have the emergency, cops...that's it" said Gabriel in broken English, referring to his pushing of a panic button behind the counter.
The frustrated robber almost left, but returned, going behind the counter. " He actually (got) the change money because he cannot open the register. Only quarters maybe 200 dollar bill. That's it" said Gabriel.
When the robber left, Gabriel left the store, jumped in his car and found the thief walking down lakeview. "After when he see me, he dropped all money in the street. And he left, he ran" he said.
The Wednesday morning robbery fits a pattern across Hillsborough and Pasco counties. 7 heists in all, concentrated near the County line, including Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills. Deputies fear, the crooks could become violent.
Gabriel, a former Austrian military man, is still smiling. "I hope nobody come here because the security is good" he said, laughing.

Sneaky Chef's Breakfast Cookies
These yummy cookies contain so much fiber and nutrients, you could even serve them for breakfast. They're the perfect snack -- and the kids will gobble them up, never knowing how good they are for them!
Yield: 16-18 large cookiesIngredients
2 cups whole grain cereal flakes (such as Wheaties or Total)
3/4 cup Flour Blend (1/4 cup white flour, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, and 1/4 cup wheat germ)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
Cinnamon sugar for dusting
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with oil).
- Using a rolling pin, gently crush the cereal (in a sealed plastic bag) into coarsely crushed flakes. Alternatively, you can quickly pulse the cereal in a food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Flour Blend, crushed cereal, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, oil, vanilla, and ricotta cheese. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Drop single tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheets, leaving about an inch between cookies. Flatten cookies with the back of a fork and then sprinkle tops generously with cinnamon sugar (or just sugar if your kids don't like the cinnamon flavor). Bake about 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely browned and crispy around the edges.

6 Stocks Hitting New 52-Week Highs
LKQ (LKQX), one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated supplier and distributor stocks, provides replacement parts, components and systems needed to repair vehicles (cars and trucks). This stock is trading up 1% at $30.81 in recent trading after hitting a 52-week of $31.25 earlier in the day.
Today's Range: $30.25-$31.2552-week Range: $20.38-$31.25 Volume: 428,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 728,097 LKQ has a market cap of $4.54 billion and an enterprise value of $5.07 billion. The stock trades at a trailing price-to-earnings of 23.28 and a forward price-to-earnings of 16.92. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 24.1%, and for next year it's pegged at 27.1%. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for LKQ is very low at 1%. From a technical standpoint, this stock is starting to trigger a big breakout today now that it's starting to move above some past overhead resistance at $30.02 to $30.24. Traders should watch to see how this stock closes today. Look for a close that puts the stock above $30.24 on high-volume. I would consider it very bullish if LKQX finishes within 30 cents of $31 on volume that's close to or above 728,097 shares. If we get that action, then look for much higher prices for this stock in the near future.

Vendor Spotlight: T.S. Mastro Enamel Jewelry
Posted in Vendor Spotlight, tagged december 2nd, handmade, maine, mayo street arts, portland, reversible jewelry, t.s. mastro enamel jewelry, the big chill, tracy sunday mastro on November 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Good morning! Chilly one out there…
Today we feature Tracy of T.S. Mastro Enamel Jewelry. This December will be her second time selling with The Big Thaw/Chill and we're happy to have her! Last May, Tracy called me before the event to say her car had lost one of its wheels on her way there. What?! So naturally I just figured we were down one person… but then a couple hours later who shows up? Tracy! Steadfast commitment to handcrafted arts, love that.
T.S. Mastro's work offers brightly colored patterns in color to suit all wardrobes and tastes – in fact, many of the pendants are reversible so they're doing double duty. Perfectly placed geometric accents and negative space make her pieces truly unique.
Tracy has a busy schedule this holiday seasoned, and we're honored to be on it! Come check out her work and two floors of other fantastic vendors at The Big Chill arts, crafts and vintage sale on Sunday, December 2nd at Mayo Street Arts, 10 Mayo Street in Portland!

Ok, duders! Time for some jewelry! Surprisingly, we had very few jewelry applications this year. One of them came from the wonderful Bethany of Sweet Sincerity jewelry, located way up there in Bangor, ME. In advance: thanks for driving down to see us, Bethany!!
The beadwork of earrings, bracelets and necklaces at Sweet Sincerity have always been fancy, ornate, and colorful – and just this year Bethany has been learning jewelry smithing, adding an entirely new dimension to the products she offers. Sweet Sincerity is on Facebook – click here to go to the page and "like" it!
Bethany answered some of our "Big Chill" questions, here are her answers!:
The Big Chill: What is the first sign of winter, in your opinion?
Sweet Sincerity: When I stop shaving my legs, comforted by the knowledge that they will not see the light of day for the next 7 months…
TBC: What items from Sweet Sincerity will keep people happy throughout the dark days of winter?
SS: I hope that the thought of the Sweet Sincerity Jewelry they know they are wearing somewhere under the layers of long johns, mittens, sweaters and scarves will warm their little hearts!
TBC: What's your favorite winter comfort food?
SS: Tea and cream-filled cupcakes. Or tequila.
Us, too! Join Bethany from Sweet Sincerity for some salt, lime and tequila (ok, not really) at The Big Chill arts, crafts and vintage sale on Saturday, December 3rd at the Mayo Street Arts Center in Portland. Yes!
Thank You.

Melon Bee: Well, Melissa is going to have some really neat fabric items, like aprons, cute baby bibs, and sweet iPad covers. She does fun fabric trades with her mom, all the way on the other coast in California. I (Bevin) am going to bring prints of a series I painted… it's an animal for every letter of the alphabet! The originals are colored pencil, ink and water color. I painted all the animals during a pretty miserable winter in Minnesota, and I really believe they helped me maintain some sanity! I have also been working on some little painted panels inspired by Swedish textile patterns lately, and I will have a few at the sale.
TBT: What do you love most about the Spring in Maine?
MB: Well, I actually just moved here in September, and the Fall was beautiful! …So, I haven't experienced a Maine Spring yet, BUT I am super excited because I imagine it's similar to Minnesota. People just come out of hiding, and everyone is thrilled to get outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. There's something about warmer weather after it's been so cold that just makes your whole body relax!
Thanks, Bevin! You can find Melon Bee's creations and more at The BIG THAW Arts, Crafts and Vintage Sale on Saturday, April 16th (this weekend!) at 10 Mayo Street (Mayo Street Arts Center). Please email email@example.com if you have any questions!

Ohhh drizzle, drizzle. The weather's forecasting cloudy and in the 40s for Saturday but as long as it's ANYTHING but this we'll be psyched! Actually, rain is a huge part of the thaw – after all, how would thirsty crocuses get what they need to start popping their heads out of the ground?
Here's a bit of glass magic from David Jacobson Glass to brighten up your gray day. We're intrigued by his text bubbles and beautiful rendered housewares!
What new wares can customers expect to see at The BIG THAW?
I've been making a lot of new work for this show that I'm excited about. Handblown glass bud vases in celadon, robin's egg blue, turquoise and white. More slumped glass platters and bowls in new color combinations. For example, black and white stripes, cobalt blue stripes, a pale blue stripe that looks like spun sugar. And, my Conversation Pieces™ — just like the word balloons you see in comic strips, but made out of handblown white glass. You can hang them on the wall, if you choose, and write and draw on them with dry erase markers to say whatever you want, whenever you want.
2. What inspires your glass work?
Textile patterns, and colors and textures that I see in nature. The texture of the finished piece is as important to me as the colors I use and how it looks. For example, the glass bowls I make have a lot of texture as a result of the two layers of glass canes that I fuse together.
3. What is your favorite thing about Spring in Maine?
Knowing that summer is right behind, with tennis and kayaking.
As if we weren't excited enough for Saturday! You can find David peddling his wares at The BIG THAW Arts, Crafts and Vintage sale this Saturday, April 16th. Mayo Street Arts Center, 10 Mayo St, Portland, right off of Cumberland Ave on the East End. We look forward to seeing you there!

Today's Vendor Spotlight is brought to us by Shanna Tice of The Makings of Shanna Tice. We thank her very much for her time spent putting all this great information together! You can find Lulubeans set up on the lower level of Mayo St. among the artist studios. Without further ado…. Lulubeans!
Soft, dreamy, and luxurious are all things that come to mind when laying your eyes on April Newman of Lulubean's hand crafted, hand painted fiber and hand spun yarns. April strives for the highest quality fiber when creating an artistic blend for hand spinners. It is also obvious by looking at her work, that she has a sophisticated and elegant color pallet with her hand dyed batches. There is also so much fun in her variety of juicy colors, and she pushes toward a very trendy and modern color combination with her craft as well. I can't help but think of each batt of blended fibers as a unique one of a kind painting. Not only does April explore color, but she blends fiber in the most creative way using bamboo, faux cashmere, domestic wool, merino lamb, SW merino, sari silk fabric strips, mohair, Tussah silk, baby alpaca, Wensleydale locks, soy silk and kid mohair, and more!
When I asked April what inspired her to begin her work as a fiber artist and what gave way to the start of 'Lulubeans' she replied, "I taught myself to knit when my first daughter was a toddler. Yarn kept my hands busy and soothed my busy mind. Once I had mastered knitting and purling, making my own yarn was the natural next step!" I then asked her what her favorite part about her work was and the answer didn't surprise me! " I love the functionality of what I do. It makes me so happy to know that fiber I have dyed will make a novice spinners first hand-spun yarn, or that a yarn I have spun will be lovingly knit into someone's favorite hat. Making things that other people use to make things is a great and fantastic thing; the creative chain (and the joy of making!) just keep going, and going. Awesome." One of her more popular items does just what she loves it to do: teach others to spin. April sells a complete 'Learn to Spin Drop Spindle Kit' which includes one top whirl drop spindle, 4 ounces of handpainted domestic wool top (also called roving), clear, easy to follow drop spindle instructions AND hours and hours of fun! You want to give it a go, don't you!?!
There is so much about the fiber arts community that excites April. " I have so much admiration for so many artists and crafters. The fiber arts community is hustlin' and bustlin' and growing by leaps and bounds online *and* here in Maine. I've been so lucky to virtually meet so many talented people, and connect with so many fantastic artists right here in my home state." Lulubeans has a wide variety of fiber available including beautifully finished hand spun yarn. April plans to show up at 'The Big Thaw' not only sharing her fiber wears to the public, but to meet and enjoy a day with fellow artists. " I can't wait for The BIG THAW! There's going to be so much talent and positive energy in one place and it's going to be so good to be a part of that!" I think we can all agree that we love 'The Big Thaw', but what we can also agree on we love the most is what 'The Big Thaw' will do to bring us together! YAY!
Hear, hear, ladies! The BIG THAW Arts, Crafts and Vintage Fair will be held THIS WEEKEND on Saturday, April 16th from 10am to 4pm at the Mayo Street Arts Center at 10 Mayo St. We can't wait!
Vendor Spotlight: eden.

Well, well, well — what a beautiful day in Portland, Maine! At the end of a long week there was no better way to wind down by meeting up with Elise Loschiavo of eden. to go over her pure, natural, light, delicious products for her vendor spotlight feature.
Eden lip balms are nearly weightless, Elise had brought Lavender Mint and Grapefruit Vanilla for my sniffer. Oh man! Delicious and mild. So, I was partial to the lavender mint seeing as today is the first day a fashionable lady could walk around town in a skirt with no tights – it's got a spring-y, herb-y scent without throwing too many flavors at your kisser. The grapefruit vanilla is great for people who are partial to fruitier flavors, and mid-summer it's something to pack in the beach bag to prevent chapping in the salty wind of our rugged, Maine beaches. An added bonus? Eden balms are made with shea butter, cocoa butter and apricot kernal oil to moisturize. Jojoba oil, too, is infused with calendula which is that awesome herb in baby lotions. If it's good enough for babies it's ok on my lips!
Practical note I learned later: the packaging for all of Elise's products is simple and easy to find in a huge, jumble-y purse (note: mine.) not to mention the unique shape of the lip balm tubes, an oblong circle, more complimentary to one's natural lip shape and easy to find with searching fingers.
On to the lotions/creams! Elise has been working on a 'travel size' lotion, a great product for craft fairs while shoppers are trying to budget so they can get a little bit of something from everyone. The price point is less than half of the larger, 6 oz. size and is great to throw in a clutch, keep at your desk at work or give as a little gift to friends. Doesn't Citrus Harmony just sound totally perfect for the coming warm weather? Of course get the larger size if it's going to be your home stash – a little goes a long way but don't you want to smell edible all the time?
With a wide variety of products like bath salts, lotions, lip balms and more you'll undoubtedly find something you love at the Eden. table at The BIG THAW. Everything Elise creates is made lovingly in small, controlled batches so no detail is missed. I'm so in love with the following quote from a VERY satisfied Eden. customer – an excellent note to end on! P.S. — if you have any flavors in mind that you don't see in Elise's shop don't hesitate to get in touch and see if it's something she can make and have ready for you the day of the fair! After 45 minutes of chatting I've learned very quickly she's an enthusiastic, adventurous, open-minded lady. Loves to try new things!
"I have to tell you how great the shea butter hand cream is. I have had an unusually difficult winter with splits in both thumbs and my right hand pointer finger. As a seamstress, you can imagine how painful it is to work. I went to the dermatologist who said to use liquid Band-aid in the cracks, Neosporin and gloves at night, and another type of hand cream often during the day. I was having only moderate success, the splits would heal for a day or two, but when I banged my thumb on something or would sew for several hours …the split would come back. It was more than a quarter of an inch long on my right thumb and I feared it would keep going. Occasionally, it would bleed if I hit is just right. In just two days of using your hand cream product, my splits have healed and new skin is growing in and over the splits. The hand cream is truly amazing and it feels wonderful when applied. I keep the container by my bed, but I need to order more to have in my kitchen and purse!!"

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
On day one of the Punk Domestics trip to Italy in January, 2012, we made three kinds of preserves with Marzia Brigante: Quince jam, pear jam with aromatic spices and savor, a conserve made with apples, pears, quince, nuts and saba.
Recipe for pear jam by Marzia Brigante from the Punk Domestics trip to Italy in January, 2012
I overcome my suspicions and make a tasty jam from just local pears, sugar, and lemon juice.
An easy amplification of fall's favorite fruit: pears. "You can't buy that in any store!" is high praise indeed, so adding a mix of frangrant spices elevates homemade jam to top notch gift quality. The holidays are coming...
Brought to you by the letter "P."
Don't throw away the peels and cores from canning whole pears—make jelly and jam with them instead.
Small-Batch Canning - Mix and Match!
The season for golden raspberries is fleeting so take advantage of it with this confluence of berry and pear. And toss out the toast! Serve it as shown here, spooned atop sour cream with walnuts. C'mon, live a little!
This is a quick and easy recipe for a decadent pear and vanilla bean honey (jam). Perfect on an English muffin or paired with cheese and crackers.
Dried fruits added to jams are an easy secret weapon -- flavor first, of course, but also added drama as evidenced here in fresh pear jam with slices of candied strawberry suspended in the golden goodness.

TMG Predicts Week 3: Sobriety Style
This game is a statement game. We are going to go up against the questionable Giants and come out looking like a picture of the Loch Ness Monster: Cool, scary, and not entirely credible. But we won't care because Nessie is the bee's knees.*
This game is doubly important: Not only are we going to improve our national image, we are also going to settle another long raging debate amongst Panther fans. Last week we settled the Armanti issue, once and for all. This week we attack the Four Horse Men of the Pantherpocalypse.
The way I see it, and the way I can only assume JR and Mr. Hurney see it, is that the game of football was designed for teams to have four great backs. How can you look at the opportunities afforded a team such as ours by being allowed to possess the ball for at least four consecutive downs? That's a whole down each for DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert, and Cam Newton. You can't make this stuff up! It's like my buddy Hansel was telling me the other day while we were baking bread: some things were meant to be.
For all of you out there arguing against the grand designs of our illustrious front office, I'm here to tell you that you are beating a bush with a snake. Maybe some fruit will pop out, maybe a Playboy bunny will, but the odds that are in your favor are saying that you might just be beating a snake with a bush for no damn reason. The bush isn't really concerned with your attempts at coercion, because, well. . . did I mention it's a bush?
Any way, that answers any and all possible questions anyone could ever have about any facet of our offense, so, on to the D:
We start with Eli Manning. Eli Manning is not a clutch quarterback. Calling him such is disrespectful. A clutch is a small thing a woman carries when she isn't man enough to carry a big honking purse. Eli Manning is the largest purse you'll see playing quarterback in this league today. He's the kind of purse you want your girl friends to carry to bars so you can fill them with the pint glasses you are trying to steal.
Sadly, for us, he has now been joined by future hall of famer David Wilson in the backfield. This man can catch, pass, run, kick, and long snap the heck out of the football. If mere mortals like you or me were called the opposite of Batman, we would hang our heads in silent resignation and accept the shameful truth. If you called Batman the opposite of David Wilson then the Dark Knight would weep, claiming that it wasn't his fault. Guess what Bruce, life is not fair; at least we can all take solace in our ability to watch this rising star's career blossom into the unparalleled paragon of all parables it was predicted to portray.
That said, we can maybe stop them a little bit. It is going to require a variety of looks sending pressure from a variety of places. Basically, I'm going to blitz the hell out of them and see what happens. Take note, Sean and Chud, these results should help your gameplan.
Huh. Apparently an offensive game plan of run, run, run, screen pass, screen pass, run, screen pass, screen pass, etc. is not the most effective after the defense has figured it out. Similarly, zone blitzes are great, until they get consistently beat. Same goes for blitzes that leave your guys in man coverage with no safety help.
Note to Chud: If the defense seems to be aware of what you are trying to do, do something else, unless it is already working. In that case, by all means, keep doing it. Also, if you feel fancy enough to bust out our wild cat packages, let me tell you, D-Will cannot throw the ball to save my life and J-Stew has absolutely no pocket presence.
Note to Sean: If you leave the Captain in single coverage on Victor Cruz, you're going to have a bad time. So are we. Don't do that, thank you.
Note to TMG: Don't do this sober again, it wasn't nearly as much fun. I know you keep hearing that drinking heavily multiple nights a week is not the same recipe for success in graduate school that it was in undergraduate, but what you are hearing is wrong. Trust me, I'm you.
Game Stats:
22-27 Panthers: We walk away 3-0 on the season.
Cam: 23/36 304 2 TD 2 INT 3 car 14 yds
D-Will: 0/1 0 8 15 car 82yds 1 TD 7 rec 110yds 1 TD
J-Stew: 1 sack 12 car 54 yds 6 rec 46 yds
Tolbert: 4 car 8 yds 1 TD 3 21 yds
G. Hardy: 3 Tackles 3 TFL 3 Sacks.
E. Manning: 23/36 304 yds 3 TDs 1 INT
V. Cruz: 7 rec 126 yds 1 TD
A. Bradshaw: 17 car 37 yds
D. Wilson 2 car 4 yds
First, some crazy how, Cam and Eli had near identical stats. Since this violates my overall #1 rule of no shenanigans, I heretofore must institute a new rule: Always shenanigans.
Second, you could ask for better numbers from our four horsemen, but they wouldn't be likely to give them to you. But please do, I'd like to see you walk up to Pestilence and ask him for some Nyquil, I can see it now. You'd be all like "Excuse Mister Harbinger of the End Times, I have a cough and can't sleep, can I have some Nyquil?" And he'd be all like "Yes, yes you may." Except that he would be lying and would give you the bubonic plague instead.
So there we have it, that debate has been settled for all of time**
As far as the game is concerned, we can all rest easy knowing that David Wilson has decided not to start his campaign for becoming the only player actually needed on the Giant's roster, stepping in only to complete a few crucial 3rd and shorts as needed. Ahmad Bradshaw, facing a defense designed to contain Wilson's awesome might, clearly came up short. He was Achilles facing the walls of Troy, except he actually lost for the most part.
For those still wondering if we can keep ahead of Eli and his passing attack in the fourth, I can only offer this wisdom:
We are heading into a cave, knowing of a monster waiting in the deep. He scares us, yes, but we must shepherd our people through to the other side. It is imperative that we win out, regardless of the sacrifices we must make. And we know we can do it. We are the agents of the secret fire. This monster cannot pass. As wielders of the flame of Anor we shall send these Giants back to the shadows from whence they came. Dark fire and salsa dancing will not avail them. They shall not pass!
*It might be bees' knees. I'm really not clear on how many bees we are dealing with here.
**Time is assumed to end with the Mayan Calendar.
