Okay, so I felt that this quote was too long for a Fanshot, but linking it would be confusing. Thus, I am obliged to make my first fanpost!
Here is the quote in question:
Obrad Fimic, Alexey Shved's agent, via email, retracing how his client came to be on the Timberwolves: "The first person to show interest in Shved was David Kahn. Shved really peaked when Kahn watched him play at the Euro Championships in Lithuania. David felt his style of play would work well with Rubio's. There was just interest then. Later into the season we knew during the Final 4 in Istanbul that Shved was closer to going to the NBA. Honestly, the whole deal was done thanks to David, who convinced us that Shved is a perfect fit for coach Rick Adelman's system. Alexey and I liked what we heard and here we are." A team source said to not leave out Timberwolves European scout Pete Philo in this equation.
Not stating anything new here, but Kahn takes a lot of flak. However, he does have one undeniable skill: international scouting. Out roster is notably European, this is obvious, but look past JJ, AK, and Darko(who were all free agents) and focus on the international players Kahn brought over. Drafting Pek and Rubio has paid dividends, and so far Shved is projecting to play well above his contract (and it's not even a KahnTract!). For this, I applaud him.
This brings me to my next point. Once Glen Taylor sells, I'm just automatically assuming the Pups will be getting a new GM. The move makes too much sense for the incoming owner, both as a notion of goodwill to the fan base, and (due to Love's comments) the team. I'm also assuming no other teams will want Kahn as their GM. Throw in one more baseless assumption: that Kahn won't be so furious with the organization that he will want to stay part of it, then you get to my point.
Kahn could be a FANTASTIC international scout for the team going forward!
He wouldn't be making all the moves, but his credibility on these players is currently through the roof. If other teams don't realize this, honing in on Kahn's true talent could be a great step in keeping consistently good T-Wolves team out there. International players, when they work out, can generally be signed for below market value (Shved's free agent contract, and Rubio/Pek's rookie contracts are well below their production levels), so keeping Kahn around would be a good move.
Well, that is all I got. Do you agree? Do you want Kahn out, our hands wiped of all memory? Do you think other teams have noticed this trend? Do you think my assumption are making an ass out of you and me? What say you?!

Since I broke my hand, typing has been interesting. The first week it just plan hurt to type, so I really didn't. I had a lot of cover art work to do and that is done more with the mouse, dragging and dropping, manipulating, etc. I also had some formatting to do and that I can do with one hand since its not typing like this. For long emails and other business related things I used Dragon Diction either on my iPad or for my Mac. I've used dictation before and am known for talking into my phone when an idea strikes, but I've never written fiction with something like Dragon Diction…until now.
While I was baking my 96 dozen cookies, I was replaying a couple of scenes from my current WIP (still, no freaking title) when I came across some dialogue I thought was brilliant. I went to my computer and wrote it down, then realized maybe I could bake cookies and "dictate" my writing at the same time. What a freaking brilliant idea.
So, I got out the head set, hooked myself up in the kitchen (batter was made, so just scooping dough and plopping it on the cookie sheets) and thought I would just "speak my book".
There is something to be said for typing out the words that play in our writers mind versus talking out the words. Two totally different ways of thinking and no amount of control over our mind is going to fix that. After this experience, I truly believe our minds work differently when we free hand writing, type write and talk write. Each one, I believe, takes a different mindset and until you train your mind to work one way over the other…forget about it.
I put this topic under mind control because I believe as writers our minds have a mind all their own. When I first started writing I really didn't know what I was doing. I had to develop a skill set and figure out how my mind really worked. That took some time. I've had to learn to control mind so that I can function effectively. I'm not a panters, but when ideas come to me out of order, I need to find a way to deal with those ideas so they don't get lost. I'm also a linear writer, but sometimes scenes come to me that won't happen for chapters and chapters, but I have to file them away somewhere, or I will lose them.
This is mind control.
I do think I could write using Dragon Dictation, but I will have to train my mind to function differently. What I found out was that when I'm typing, my mind is flowing not in words, but in structure of the words. When I'm speaking, my mind slows down and focuses more on the words. I'm also more caught up in how the words sound, so my inner editor is all over the place. I think what this will be good for is my stream of consious thoughts. My brainstorming with myself. My character set ups, or plot structure sheets where my only goal is to get the ideas on paper, not for it to be "good."
Off to more hockey. We've had lots of hockey this weekend and both my boys have managed to land themselves in the penalty box!

The Benevolent Guide…Insight from Martha
A few days ago, my partner Karen's beloved father passed away after a long illness. It was a very gradual departure; for weeks, everyone thought that each hour might be Charlie's last. The days immediately following his passing were unthinkably grueling for Karen and her family, but I'll say this for imminent death: it clearly - Continue Reading

Taming Wild Mustangs… Insight From Martha

How to Accept Yourself
Have you ever heard one of those near-death stories where someone recounts an out-of-body experience? I just love them, especially when they include details I didn't expect.

The Empathy Workout
I can't say I always enjoy cardiovascular exercise. I don't think anyone does.

When You Feel Lonely
At times in my life, I have felt utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases.

Farmers Markets : Caroline Wright, July 10, 2010
12:39pm Tuesday 13th July 2010 in Features
THE tomato has had a rich and interesting history and is now available, fresh and delicious, at your next Worcestershire farmers' market.
A member of the nightshade family, a beautiful little berry was once known by the French as a 'wolfpeach' – because it looked like a little peach and was thought to be as dangerous as a wolf.
Yes, the tomato has had a rich and interesting history and is now available, fresh and delicious, at your next Worcestershire farmers' market.
Grower Robert Hale, who shares a stall with farmers' market regular Styan Family Produce, is well-known in the area for the variety and quality of his tomatoes.
Mr Hale said: "Why do our tomatoes taste so good? Well, we are very careful with our choice of variety. And, because they are harvested red, they develop a full flavour on the plant – that is the most important thing.
"Our tomatoes are grown hydroponically – that means they are not grown in soil, but in water with a solution of nutrients. They have more flavour and the skins are not so tough as soil-grown ones. They grab the nutrients as they need them."
Mr Hale said each plant is supported by a long string and they grow to about 30ft. They are planted under glass, in January, in his Longdon Hill Nurseries at Evesham and produce tomatoes until November.
Mr Hale supplies a wide-range of tomatoes for the farmers' market stall, including classic, on-the-vine, cocktail, cherry, cherry plum, yellow cherry, golden cherry, two kinds of beef, plum, teardrop and long– which his wife Jane says are great for cooking.
Her favourite sauce, however, uses cherry plum tomatoes.
Mrs Hale said: "Take cherry plum tomatoes, fry them whole with a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar until they are just starting to split. Liquidise them, add your favourite herbs then continue to cook them in a saucepan for about 20 minutes on a low heat.
This is fabulous with anything that requires a tomato sauce."
Today's farmers' market is in High Street, Bromsgrove, from 9am until 5pm. Next weekend's markets are in Abbey Road, Malvern, on Saturday, July 17, from 9am until 2pm, and on Sunday, July 18, in Angel Place, Worcester, from 9am until 3pm.
Parking is only £1 all day at the CrownGate multi-storey car park, Worcester, on Sundays.

Definition of 'Rollover'
A rollover is when you do the following:
1. Reinvest funds from a mature security into a new issue of the same or a similar security.
2. Transfer the holdings of one retirement plan to another without suffering tax consequences.
3. Move a forex position to the following delivery date, in which case the rollover incurs a charge.
Investopedia explains 'Rollover'
1. Assuming an option about to expire is favorable to hold, you may decide to buy or sell the later expiring option.
2. Retirement plans may be moved in order to forgo tax consequences when moving from one company to another. The distribution is reported on IRS Form 1099-R and the rollover contribution is reported on IRS Form 5498. Rollovers may be limited to one per annum for each IRA and the assets are generally made payable to the retirement account holder. The assets must then be deposited to the receiving retirement account within 60 days after the account holder receives the assets.
3. The forex fee arises from the difference in interest rates between the two currencies underlying a transaction. Sometimes investors can earn a credit if they are purchasing the currency with the higher of the two interest rates. Investors are often required to maintain certain margin positions with their brokers to earn a credit from rollover.

Lines wrapped around the Best Buy in Spartanburg before its 6:00pm Thursday opening as shoppers got a jump on early Black Friday sales.
Major retailers pushed their opening times earlier to attract more customers.
At the Gaffney Premium Outlets, more than half the stores opened at 8:00pm. That's an hour earlier than usual.
"Every year they show up earlier and they're asking for earlier, so that's what we're giving them," Sharon Campbell said.
Campbell is the general manager at the Gaffney Premium Outlets.
While the stores opened earlier in the day on Thanksgiving, the holiday season is actually starting late for retailers. Thanksgiving falls at the very end of November this year.
"This is the big night, this is the night that all the retailers are waiting on," Campbell said.
Some people said that the earlier opening times help them stagger out the shopping and cuts down on the rushing that can create chaos.

Arizona State will have to do without their best offensive player in the Holiday Bowl, as Marion Grice is doubtful to play due to a leg injury, according to azcentral's Doug Haller. Grice missed ASU's game against Arizona and the Pac-12 title game with the injury, and recovery has been slower than the team hoped.
Despite missing the last two games of the season, Grice still finished with 20 total touchdowns, a third of ASU's team total. He averaged over 176 all purpose yards per game this season, and is one of the best all-around offensive threats in the country. The Sun Devils will rely on D.J. Foster and Deantre Lewis in his absence. Both are averaging over five yards per carry this year, so they're hardly chopped liver, but they simply don't change the game in multiple ways like Grice can.
One thing that will help Arizona State's offense is that their opponent in the Holiday Bowl, Texas Tech, does not possess the strongest defense. They gave up nearly 4.5 yards per carry this season, so the Sun Devils should be able to run the ball even without Grice.

Elon Musk on 60 Minutes - this guy is one of my idols. Not the money, lots of people make money, but the David vs. Goliath way he uses it to change the world to his visions.
He comes out with an electric roadster, the Tesla which has inspired a gigantic shift in the auto industry which in turn will cause great changes in how we use and where we get our energy.
The 60 Minutes piece highlighted another upstart company of his, Space X, which recently became the first private spacecraft to link up with the International Space Station. His vision of private companies like his own taking over the business of shuttling supplies and people into near space and returning them to earth is brilliant and exciting.
Then I watched the film Apollo 18.
What a disturbing story - it was done in a realistic format, as it was NASA footage pieced together into a documentary. No music, almost entirely set inside the spacecrafts and on the surface of the moon. It was fascinating but as I said, very disturbing.
In a nutshell, Apollo 18 was supposedly a top secret space mission sponsored by the DoD, and therefore never was officially recognized.
Without spilling the beans too much, let me just say the issue of government using people as guinea pigs and then denying it ever happened made me think that the privatization of space, as championed by people like Elon Musk, was to happen, an Apollo 18 kind of flight could never be kept secret.

Overheard: Entertaining on the Fourth
Vogue, May 1955
Olivia sets out fresh flowers for her summer luncheons
Bettina and Jamie Prentice at their Hamptons Home
With the Fourth of July nearly upon us, many people are celebrating the holiday with backyard BBQs, sparkler-lit dinner parties, and fireworks-watching beach picnics. We surveyed a few of the chicest entertainers we know to see how they are planning to spend their holiday weekends and asked if they had any hostessing tips that they might want to enlighten us with. Vogue's Assistant to the Editor in Chief Indre Rockefeller is going to the capital for a big joint family birthday (her husband's thirtieth, his brother's fortieth, and his grandfather's ninetieth!) in conjunction with the holiday festivities. One party trick that she finds helpful is "setting out place cards with numbers instead of names at a big, long table. As people come over to the table, they pick a number out of a bowl, which serves as their seating assignment. The process is amusing and interactive for everyone and immediately sparks conversations as people settle into their seats. It also ensures that no one can blame the hostess if they end up with a bad dinner partner! " Olivia Chantecaille is planning a terrace luncheon for her weekend. "It's very casual with the whole family and a few friends like Jason Wu, BJ Blum, and the gallery owner John McWinnie. Typically we sit down post swim, so the dress code is bathing suits under a light summer dress like Tracy Feith or Philip Lim. We decorate the table with a mix of roses, hydrangeas, and irises picked from the garden. The table is dressed with a large hand-embroidered tablecloth inherited from my grandmother, a mix of white French linen napkins, and vintage plates found at a local antiques fair. We pull up a wood bench with big cushions to squeeze in more people and protect ourselves from the sun with large parasols and straw hats from Anne Moore. The meal is a colorful, flavorful mix from local farms and purveyors such as Round Swamp Farm for delicious salads and homemade raspberry pie, Lucy's Whey for cheese, Iacono farm for organic, free-range chicken, and pick-yourself strawberries from the farm down the road." Gallerina turned PR superstar Bettina Prentice is headed for the Hamptons, where she will be cohosting a Gatsby-themed benefit for Oceania with Lydia Hearst, Kristian Laliberte, and Hayley Bloomingdale in Water Mill, after which she and her husband, Jamie, "are throwing on jeans to head to Field Kallop's [Chuck Close's right hand] beach BBQ and bonfire party." The next night the dynamic duo will host an intimate dinner at home in Southampton. Her tips? "Always reserve Lilybug scooters for guests so there will be no drinking and driving! And choose a subtle theme and stick with it. We'll serve a Latin-themed menu, with cilantro-and-lime-marinated chicken with a tomato-and-avocado salad and tequila cocktails to keep things lively. Flowers will be bold and brightly colored, and our sound track for dinner will heavy on the Gipsy Kings. Jamie tried to hire an amazingly talented local mariachi trio for after dinner, but the group was booked several weeks in advance." Lauren Remington Platt is bound for Nantucket, where she will celebrate her Fourth with a big family lunch at the Summerhouse, followed by fireworks at Jetties beach. As for her summer dinner parties, she "likes to keep it simple. Friends come over expecting to catch up with me in a relaxed atmosphere, and I don't want to spend all night in the kitchen! BBQ-ing also allows men to play a role in food preparation. Cold gazpacho is my favorite course to start with, and no one can resist Bananas Foster for dessert. Homemade sangria is another favorite. Also, both can be prepared earlier in the day and before guests arrive—though the best ingredients are always the friends you invite!"
From what the stars should wear to who we think will win—here is everything you need to know about the 2014 Emmy Awards.

Stefon Diggs, one of the top wide receivers in the country out of Olney, Maryland's Good Counsel is unsure if he'll be able to take a visit to see the Florida Gators:
This is potentially big news, because many insiders believed that UF led for Diggs' services before the departure of Charlie Weis.
He holds legitimate offers from just about every program in the country, and took the time to visit many of them. In the end, Diggs came down to Auburn, Florida, California, Maryland, Michigan, Oklahoma, USC and Virginia.
At 6'0" and 185 pounds, Diggs has great speed and surprising toughness in tight spaces. I like him better at receiver than running back because he's more fast than quick. Diggs could be deadly on the deep routes. Diggs lacks polish and must do a better job being consistent and catching the football, but you just can't teach this speed at this size.
Diggs should be an immediate contributor for whichever team he chooses. Look for him to return kicks and punts as well.

NACHES, Wash. -- Sportsman Days celebrated it 65th year in Naches. Saturday was the second of three days and this year has been bigger than most.
Sportsman Days started in 1948 as a way for the small community to raise money for local sports teams but it has grown to be much more than that. The second of three days included a parade, a carnival, food booths and more. A big hit for the crowd every year is the apple barrel races which you can imagine brings some laughs from onlookers. This year the event is larger because it is the first time in a long time the event has been moved off school grounds and into the downtown area. Sportsman Days has turned into much more than fundraising, its about bringing a community of hundreds together.
"It helps celebrate small town America," Parade Chairman Duane Lyons said. "It helps boost the community. It's a great community event. You see everybody in town, everyone you've ever known in Naches you can see here in one spot."The Lyons Club has been organizing Sportsman Days for over six decades. They got some help from the Naches Chamber of Commerce and the City of Naches this year to make the celebration even bigger.If you want to head there Sunday the big headline event is the Youth Fishing Derby.

Albany -- Albany State University and Darton College have signed an agreement to coordinate three of their programs, so students will have no problem as they advance in their education.
Wendy Pate is in her first semester in the Nursing Program at Darton College. " I just really love the operating room. Love the medical field. And love the patients," she said.
Pate plans to continue her nursing education toward her goal of earning her four year Bachelor's Degree, but needs to stay with her family at their home in Albany while doing it. Today Darton College and Albany State University's Presidents signed a agreement that the two schools will work together to make sure Wendy can accomplish her goal.
The school's Nursing, Forensic Science,and Military Science Program students will have no trouble advancing toward their degree through the two schools, because their graduates are needed.
Darton College Nursing Program Chairperson Dr. Kim Cribb said, " A lot of the nurses traditionally covering those roles are getting older. They are retiring or going part time. People are living longer. There is a desperate need for nurses."
The nursing program at Darton has seen a 170 percent increase in enrollment in the last six years. By making sure these students can finish their education in South Georgia, the community is hoping they will begin their careers here.
Albany State University Nursing Program Chairperson Dr. Linda Grimsley said, "It's a real good boost to the hospitals. Because we find if the students leave the area and move to another area, such as Augusta or Atlanta, to finish their degree, they tend to stay in that area."
Wendy Pate says she plans to take advantage of the Darton-Albany State agreement to further her nursing goals.
"I'm probably going to work a couple of years, but just the fact that Albany State has that opportunity for me, in order to continue on with my education," Pate said.
A good situation for South Georgia students, as Albany State and Darton coordinate their educational opportunities.
Darton College officials say their nursing graduates with a two year associates of science degree are in high demand, with starting salaries between $40,000 to $70,000 a year. Most start work while continuing their education toward Bachelor's or Masters Degrees.

From The Onion: 10/16/11 Nation's Untalented Fast Wide Receivers Mourn Passing Of Only Employer OAKLAND, CA—Shortly after Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis passed away last week, scores of the nation's incompetent but extremely fast wide receivers came forward to mourn the loss of their only employer. "I feel like the last of a generation," Raiders wideout Darrius Heyward-Bey told reporters Friday, stressing how proud he is to be part of a fraternity of lightning-quick but sloppy and stone-handed pass catchers drafted by Oakland who never panned out. "My heart really breaks for all the super-fast kids who can't catch in college and high school right now. Who will draft and ultimately wind up disappointed with them?" The Raiders announced that at halftime of Sunday's game they will honor Davis for employing most of the NFL's talentless speedsters over the past 25 years, with Heyward-Bey, Denarious Moore, Jacoby Ford, Louis Murphy, Arman Shields, Chaz Schilens, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Jonathan Holland, Kevin McMahan, Carlos Francis, Johnnie Morant, Doug Gabriel, Ryan Hoag, Ken-Yon Rambo, Jerry Porter, Dameane Douglas, Olanda Truitt, Raghib Ismail, Ron Lewis, Gary Gooden, Mike Alexander, and Larry Shephard all expected to participate. Tim Brown, the only talented fast wide receiver of the Davis era, will not be in attendance. ORIGINAL LINK TO STORY

Bedard, Morrow look strong on mound
Manager Wakamatsu encouraged by intrasquad results
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Two pitchers that figure prominently in the Mariners rotation this season gave manager Don Wakamatsu a glimpse of them in a game situation on Tuesday.He liked what he saw of left-hander Erik Bedard and right-hander Brandon Morrow. "I though both of them looked healthy and strong," Wakamatsu said after a five-inning intrasquad game at the Peoria Sports Complex. "I thought Morrow was a little rushed, but overall we were very happy."
Bedard, coming off shoulder surgery to remove a cyst, pitched a scoreless first inning, striking out one and surrendering a hit, while Morrow reached his pitch-count limit with two outs in his only inning. He allowed three hits and two unearned runs."He has such a good arm, and he's a power guy, that he comes right at you," Wakamatsu said. I thought he was up in the [strike] zone a little bit. But overall, I was real happy. I thought his fastball was explosive." Bedard used the inning as a test run for his first Cactus League outing, which comes Friday afternoon against the Dodgers at Peoria Stadium. Utility infielder Ronny Cedeno and right-hander Luis Munoz also impressed Wakamatsu. Cedeno, acquired in a trade with the Cubs, went 1-for-2, drove in a run and stole a base for the Mariners' "B" team, which won the game, 4-3. Each team used five pitchers. "I thought most of the pitchers were pretty good overall," Wakamatsu said. "But seeing that out of Morrow and Bedard made it a big day." The manager also was encouraged by the attendance and support of three of his most veteran players -- Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Sweeney and Adrian Beltre. "I think those guys sticking around and cheering the youngsters on was good," Wakamatsu said. "It sets an example."

Anger over grass verges in Darwen
7:00pm Saturday 12th May 2012 in Darwen
PEOPLE living in a Darwen street have hit out at the state of grass verges outside their homes.
Some of the verges have been transformed into parking spaces for residents.
Twin Valley Homes carried out 'hard landscaping' outside a number of properties in Birch Hall Avenue.
But people living in homes where the verges were not developed say it is unfair.
And Darwen Town Council mayor Paul Browne said all the verges should be converted.
He said: "It is a real mess. But Twin Valley Homes say they can't do them all as there are service pipes underneath.
"I don't believe them. I think Twin Valley have just looked after the rented homes.
"People have been penalised for buying their homes."
Former Darwen Town Councillor Stephen Potter, who lives in Birch Hall Avenue, said: "I spoke to a man from Twin Valley and he said they had stopped because they had run out of money.
"My fear for a long time has been emergency vehicles getting access with all the cars parked on the road.
"When the cars park on the grass they churn it up something chronic. It is like a mud bath at times."
Ian Bell, head of housing at Twin Valley Homes, said: "As part of our tenant consultation, we have identified car parking as a major issue on Birch Hall Avenue.
"Blackburn with Darwen Council owns the land, not Twin Valley Homes, but we came to an agreement with the council to solve residents' problems by spending more than £80,000 providing some parking bays in a first phase of improvements "We are currently investigating a second phase and are working with the council to identify where we can make further improvements.
"However, there are some technical issues we have to take into account, including where the utility services run and how close they are to the surface before we can give the go ahead."

Theres too many cars on the roads in Darwen anyway, the council would be better suited to offer incentives for not having one, say a free bike or something. I'd need a car though as i live out in the hills and need it for my shopping, but those who live close to sainsbury's can carry it home.
The best incentive would be good and free public transport but that will never happen! Morons think that trams are a good idea (they disappeared for ages - clue!) and Manchester is brought to a standstill DAILY one ONE breaks down.

If you chose to become homeowners you also chose to take on maintenance and improvements.
Get your wallets out and come to your own arrangement with the council.
Why does everyone have thier hands out these days?

Oh well then if the Mayor doesn't believe them well they must be lying! Twin Valley have anloy looked after the rented properties? Doh isn't that what they are supposed to do? Penalised for buying their home? You don't buy a home
then expect the last owner to pay for a parking bay! What a plonker!

It is important to ensure that the accessory components of the clock are handled correctly during the move. On clocks that have weights & pendulums with finished brass, use soft gloves or cloth when handling these components. Please read this entire move instruction before attempting your move.
1. Stop and remove the pendulum from the clock.
2. If the clock has cable holding the weights, make a loose roll of newspaper about 2 inches in diameter and hold above the pulley as the weights are wound until they stop with the paper jammed above the pulleys. This procedure prevents the cable from tangling when the weights are removed.
3. For clocks with chains, raise the weights so the clock is about half wound (middle of the clock). Use a piece of thin wire to string the chains together just where the chains protrude below the movement and tie the wire together; this action will secure the chains so they do not come off their sprockets.
4. Remove the weights and mark them so they can be replaced to the same position on the clock for installation later. For clocks with chains, secure the chains so that they do not damage the finish.
5. For tubular movements, remove the tubes, and note their position for installation later.
6. Before moving the clock, ensure that the movement is mounted securely in the case. On some early English and American clocks, the movement just sets on two side-boards of the case. For these conditions, the movement should be removed from the case before moving the clock.
7. The clock can now be moved to a new location.
8. If the move is to another location a distance away, the case and movement should be professionally packed in a rigid container.
9. To install the clock in a new location, ensure that case will be positioned on a stable floor surface; carpets can be a problem if the case footing is not stable. The clock does not have to be absolutely perpendicular to the floor, but it needs to be stable and not rock. Some cases have leveling feet, or use a small shim to stabilize the case on the floor.
10. If the movement is out of the case, replace it in the same position it was before.
11. Attach the pendulum just as it was before.
12. Attach the weights in the same position as they were before the move. If a wire was used to secure the chains, remove it. If paper was used to hold the cables tight, remove it or just let the clock run for a day or so and it will fall out.
13. Simply start your pendulum swinging, and listen to the tick-tock sound. Move the top of the clock slightly to the right or left with shims under the feet to get the tick-tock sound balanced.
14. Your grandfather clock is now in beat and your move is complete.
15. Set the clock to the correct time and enjoy it.
16. If all this sounds too complicated, call me and I'll make the move for you!

This St. Patrick's Day, combine spring's green glory with the luck o' the Irish in this leprechaun-inspired plant pot tha tmakes a fantastic St. Patrick's Day craft. Dress up an inexpensive plastic planter with a belt and buckle and a cheerful rainbow pick.
Kids of any age will be able to help with this project, so it's perfect for a St. Patrick's Day party. Smaller children will enjoy coloring the rainbow and helping you choose plants, while older children can do the whole project by themselves. Make a few of them for fun and inexpensive gifts for neighbors, teachers, or grandparents.
Choose a plant. Visit your local garden center and let your child select a plant she likes. Green plants like succulents are easy to take care of, or try yellow flowers like primrose or marigold which will make your planter into a pot o' gold. If you want to grow your own plants, try planting white clover, also known as Irish shamrock, which is suitable for growing indoors.
Make the belt buckle by cutting a 1-inch square of craft foam. Fold the square in half, and snip two cuts across the fold but not all the way to the edge of the square.
Unfold the square and thread a piece ribbon through two slits.
Glue the buckled ribbon around planter like a belt.
Make the rainbow pick by drawing a cloud with four curved lines coming out of it on your white paper.
Color red and orange between the first two lines; between the next two lines, yellow and green, then blue and purple between the last two lines.
Cut rainbow out, and glue to a green piece of craft foam. Trim bamboo skewer to about 5 inches and tape to the back of the rainbow.
Insert plant into green planter and rainbow pick into plant, and spread a little of St. Patrick's fun to a lucky friend!

"He's Turned His Back on God"
The Counselor's Turn
"These two had a deep love for each other and a fundamentally solid relationship," said the counselor. "But even good marriages benefit from professional help. Too many people put off getting it until their relationship has deteriorated beyond repair. Happily, this was not true here: Our sessions provided a safe place to resolve conflicts.
"James and Meghan had similar backgrounds, but their family dynamics were very different. Her family was the proverbial port in a storm, whereas his sister's death undermined what wasn't strong in the first place. The church was central in Meghan's childhood home, and she hoped to raise her own children in a similar way. While she didn't want to insist that James do something he staunchly opposed, she had hoped that Sunday churchgoing and family time would become a respite from their hectic weekdays. She was flummoxed by James's refusal to help her make that happen.
"Many women come to therapy reciting a laundry list of gripes about their husbands. Meghan tended to feel guilty not only about complaining about James but about seeking his help in the first place. I asked her, 'How much of what James doesn't do are you allowing to happen?' She thought for a few minutes, then replied, 'You're right. I cry, I get angry, I expect him to know.' 'And when did he become a mind reader?' I asked. It became clear that James honestly hadn't realized that he'd been taking advantage of his wife's good nature because Meghan silently took up the slack. When I asked, 'Why can't you put dishes in the dishwasher, or get the kids to bed on time, when you know it's important to her?' he readily acknowledged that he needed to pay more attention.""It Was Up to Meghan to Take Control of Her Life"
"Still, it was up to Meghan to take control of her life, which meant giving herself permission to consider her own needs. I suggested she make a list of the things she need James to do each week. 'Out of 10, expect that he'll do five,' I said. 'When you start small, you have a better chance of success.' James did what he promised and reported that he felt better about himself and his marriage when he did. Moreover, once Meghan relinquished some household duties and stopped criticizing the way James handled them, he took on more. 'He not only folded the laundry, he also brought it upstairs,' she told me, laughing, at one session. 'And on nights I work out, he now sets the timer to make sure the girls are tucked in before I get back.'
"Once she felt more confident and less stressed in her marriage, we turned our attention to her relationships with friends and family. We practiced different ways of saying no: She could set a limit ('I can't be at the book sale all day long, but noon to 2 p.m. works for me'); stall for time ('I'll check my schedule and get back to you'); or state outright that she was unavailable ('I'd love to help but I'm too swamped myself to water your plants while you're away').
"'None of this makes you a bad person,' I assured her. 'It makes you a happier, less-frantic one who can truly be there for others when necessity arises.'""You Can Decide Where to Go from Here"
"As the tension between them eased, James and Meghan were able to talk more freely about volatile religious issues. To spark a spiritual dialogue, I gave them a collection of writings about faith by famous authors. Reading aloud after the kids were asleep, they began to talk about what religion meant to them. This became a bonding experience, and James slowly adopted Meghan's view that it is a parent's role to plant the seeds of spiritual belief so that children can, at some point, follow their own hearts. 'If we truly want to heal from our wounds, we can't repeat the sins of a past generation,' he said. 'Nor can we let our own egos get in the way of what's best for our kids.'
"'On a more practical level,' I reminded them, 'You can't change what happened, but you can decide where to go from here.' Although the priest accused of abuse was no longer at their church, the congregation remained bitterly divided. More to the point, James felt uncomfortable there. Each took a step closer to a resolution when they agreed to attend services at a different church nearby. Although Meghan was sad to leave her old parish, she loved the new one. For his part, James enjoyed making friends at church-sponsored family events. 'We've met a lot of wonderful people who give generously of themselves,' he reported. With the holidays approaching, I'm excited to be part of that world.'
"'I may not make it to Mass every Sunday,' he added with disarming honesty, 'but now I see why it's so important -- for our whole family -- that I try.'"

Urban Beekeeping
Urban beekeeping has been all the buzz, lately. And for as many people that keep bees, there are that many reasons WHY people keep bees.
One of the most important reasons to keep bees is for pollination. Bee pollination is needed for the production of an estimated one-third of the food crops grown in developed countries. When it comes to fruit, the number of bees visiting a plant affects the size, uniformity and amount of fruit it produces. Bee pollination also has an impact on other foods we eat, such as meat, since the animals we consume often eat plants pollinated by bees.
It's common knowledge that the honey bee produces honey, but did you know that they also provide us with wax, pollen, royal jelly, propolis and venom? These by-products have different uses but are all considered beneficial to our health. "Apitherapy" means the use of honeybee products for medicinal purposes.
Urban beekeeping is essential as the commercial beekeepers have sustained huge losses all over the country year after year. As urban beekeepers we can practices sans medications and chemicals. We can provide diversity-rich habits as well as encourage those around us to reduce and or eliminate the use of pesticides. Beekeeping is a very civic hobby! But beyond that, it's a lot of fun, challenging and rewarding.
If you've ever thought about keeping bees in your backyard (or community garden space), join Marygael at the Gardens for her three class series, Beekeeping Essentials. The Gardens will be offering the class twice due to its popularity – Feb 9, 16 & 23 and March 15, 22 & 29. Be sure to register early!

Here is a fiery bangle made from some absolutely fabulous Flame Box Elder. Set over 316 Stainless Steel, this size 7.5 bangle didn't make it 50 feet before it found a new owner… My wife! She snagged it and won't let go. Finished with CA and wet sanded to 12,000 grit using MM. PM me for a free 15 page tutorial on how to make a one of a kind bangle (make sure to include an email address as the file is a 2 Mb PDF)
This one was lots of fun as I knew the wood was going to be special. Thanks for looking! Eric

TOPPENISH, Wash.--A final resting place becomes a target for vandalism.
More than 60 headstones in the Toppenish Elmwood Cemetery were knocked over, costing the city around a $1,000 to fix.
"It's a two way thing," said Lance Hoyt, the Public Works Director for the City of Toppenish. "Not only does it cost money to do it, it takes away from the other duties that we can be doing."
Not only does the vandalism take money out of taxpayer's pockets, it's also emotionally damaging.
"This is something that's pretty dear to us," said Chief Adam Diaz of the Toppenish Police Department. "I mean, we all have relatives and family members and friends that have been put to rest."
"It's a family thing," said Hoyt. "It's very emotional. These are someone's loved ones, and it's just basically disrespectful."
The community is not taking this lightly, and that's why Crime Stoppers got involved. Anyone with information can call, text or email a tip and remain anonymous.
"This is one of those crimes that somebody is definitely going to tell somebody, but they worry that somebody's going to come after them for speaking," said Dave Purcell, the President of Yakima County Crime Stoppers. "Our program is totally anonymous so consequently nobody knows who turned in that tip."
"We hope that through Crime Stoppers and through the local businesses, we're able to at least maybe make it lucrative enough that someone will step forward and do the right thing," said Chief Diaz.
The City of Toppenish and Crime Stoppers are both offering cash rewards for any information that leads to an arrest. Crime stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to a $1,000, and the city is offering their own separate reward up to $2,000.

Developmental Highlights in 5- and 6- Year-Old Children
Knowledge of child development and changes in children's needs, interests and learning abilities is crucial to create an appropriate kindergarten curriculum that is engaging and stimulating for children. The table below lists the developmental highlights in children between the ages of 5 and 6. Remember that each child progresses at his or her own rate.
Beginning Organization patterns
Example: Patterning (such as the calendar patterns)
Playing/interacting with a group of children for increasing time periods
Example: Planning for and playing a game during a 15- to 20-minute time period
Expressing feelings in words
Example: Telling another child "I was sad when you were sick"
Refining use of large muscles
Example: Running, hopping, beginning to skip, and throwing and catching a ball
Connecting symbols to representations
Example: The numeral 3 refers to an amount of 3 objects
Having a "special" friend, although these may change suddenly and/or frequently
Example: Sharing a computer program each day with one friend, then tiring of the program and shifting to another special friend interested in building blocks
Learning to interpret emotional expressions of others
Example: Consoling a friend who feels sad or upset
Using small muscles
Example: Painting, drawing, cutting with scissors, and printing letters/numerals

The new Parking Meters in and around Hayes Valley, the mission etc....
Cash Strapped SF has placed and additional 5,000. meters in San Francisco most of the newer ones are no where near business - particularly businesses that rely on customer Turn over for business. A good example of this would be the new parking meters along Fell Street (which was formerly no parking permit parking) where the only businesses are Auto Body and Auto repair shops - hardly businesses that would ever want or need turn over to increase business! Additionally, they recently put meters down Herman Alley - very difficult to find and there are absolutely no business's in this Area.
These meters are hurting these businesses, keeping customers away. Additionally they also degrading the quality of life in my neighborhood and those of other neighborhoods around San Francisco. My theory: As more people get rid of their cars SF ups the number of meters in order to keep supply low and keep writing those tickets.
Instead of angrily posting here - Please write to your district supervisor and demand change as they did in Oakland!

Preservation of University assets is a major responsibility of all University departments. Departments are custodians of the property which the University has entrusted to them. Departments must, therefore, manage those risks which could destroy or deplete their assets. However, before these risks can be controlled, they must be recognized.
Some definitions are in order:
Risk is uncertainty of loss. Peril is a source of loss (fire, windstorm, embezzlement, etc.) Hazard is a condition which increases the likelihood of loss (e.g., a known embezzler hired as a bookkeeper).
With these definitions in mind, we can now delineate the principles of Risk Management as they apply to the University. However, because of the diversification within the University, it is difficult to establish procedures which will fit all situations equally. For instance, some departments operate entirely on University owned property, while others carry out many of their operations in the field and their exposure to loss varies greatly.
Therefore, an intelligent approach to Risk Management and insurance is necessary. Insurance is not purchased out of desire, but out of necessity. It is not a commodity which is enjoyed or displayed or sought after by its owner. It is one of the few things which is bought with the hope that it will never have to be used.
University departments should not leave these things to chance, but should follow established procedures to control the risks.
The purpose of the following information is to alert University departments to the nature of their risk, and to provide at least the basic pattern for management to follow in the study of these risks.
These are some of the points all departments should consider in their efforts to reduce loss:
Worker's Compensation and Health Insurance Programs were implemented to act as a cushion to the financial loss that may result from an accident to employees.
There is no way completely to compensate for the pain, suffering, dismemberment, or disfigurement that may result. Looking for ways to prevent injuries is the key.
Therefore, some risks are retained, assumed, or accepted. Examples of these types of risk are: glass breakage and theft of University-owned property. The importance and economic value of risk is periodically reviewed in relationship to the size of the operation. The probability and potential amount of loss is also considered.

No joy for Joe in first match in charge
7:26pm Sunday 3rd February 2008 in Sport
Malvern Town 1, Dunstable Town 5
MALVERN Town crashed to a heavy defeat as Joe Rawle took charge of his first league game since taking the job on a permanent basis.
Despite having the first chance of the match, Malvern were 3-0 down inside 15 minutes.
In the third minute Chris Marsh rounded Malvern's keeper Paul Wyatt and slotted the ball home, before Nick Perrin calmly hit home his first of the match five minutes later.
Perrin netted his second on 15 minutes when he slotted home Marsh's cross from six yards.
Perrin missed the chance to get his hat-trick just before the break when he sent his free header sailing over.
The visitors made it 4-0 two minutes into the second period when Jonathan Barnett was on target.
Things got worse for the Langland Stadium outfit as Joel Skyers handled the ball on the line.
Skyers saw red and Marsh slammed home the spot kick in the 50th minute.
In the 70th minute a suicidal back pass by a Malvern defender saw Wyatt clear at Barnett's feet before he denied Michael O'Neill.
Malvern grabbed a late consolation goal when Tom Lacey netted a penalty in second half stoppage-time.

I have 4 ranges within 15 minutes of me.
Printable View
I have 4 ranges within 15 minutes of me.
Legally I can shoot in my backyard. I choose not to annoy other people and instead drive to an unsupervised, state run outdoor range at a WMA (Wildlife Management Area). It's 40 miles away, all 65mph highway except for one 3 stoplight town.
Around here the odd gunshot means someone's defending his livestock against predators or just got a deer.
My range is in my front yard. I can see my house, my kids play area, my firepit, my shop, and the mailbox.
We have 100 yards available with a berm at 50 yards and also at 25 yards.
I will add that I hope to annoy my neighbors and I shoot as often as I can afford to in hopes of making them miserable. I hate them and even though I can't see their house, I hope they move. My Dad who lives next door also has 100 yards at his house and he shares in my hate for them and joins me. We often pair fire so that it disturbs the peace that much more.
He will text me sometimes and we will plan our attack. LOL
Want to buy a house in my neighborhood?
But seriously... What's wrong with your neighbors?
Are they from California? New York? New (Gasp!) Jersey?
Do they keep dogs which want to eat your sheep? Children? Line laundry?
C'mon, now'fess up.
He is a communist....no really, he is my uncle. Its a long story...family stuff. The short of it is that he wasn't happy with how my grandma did her will because he didn't get as much as he thought he should so he drug out the whole thing for 2 years and drug it through court and ended up costing the estate thousands of dollars and all of it was just to try to hurt me because he doesn't like me and didn't like the fact that I was BUYING her house. He wanted me to pay $300,000 for it. She put it was to be sold for $75,000. It appraised at $80,000. I don't think I got that great of a deal and I don't think it was worth all the crap.
She GAVE him half of her stuff, her car, her lawn mower, her tread mill, her sewing machine and all kinds of other stuff...they got pissed with I told them they couldn't take the china without talking to my dad, who was the one in charge of the estate. They would come over when I wasn't there and take stuff. I lived with her and cared with her before she died. She wanted me to move and get rid of my stuff and 'get settled into my new house' so she didn't have to worry.
He is generally a lowlife. This is just the main reason I don't like him. The bad part is, he has a son is is just turned 18, I don't think he has done him any favors by teaching him to be greedy and lie for what you want in life.
I offer you my condolences:
It's always the worst when a close relative makes himself an enemy, rather than behaving like a friend.
My grandmother would be ashamed to know how all of it went but I can hold my head high knowing that I kept my nose clean and did what was right and what she would have wanted. I kept her in mind all along no matter my personal feelings. It was always her wishes that mattered.
I have various choices, some more expensive than others and some that stay open longer. I can shoot for free in an old sand pit that is nearby located adjacent to a river or go to indoor ranges that are across town. In Houston, we figure that everything is 30-45 minutes away from where you are currently located, so even an hour commute across town is not really considered all that far away.
For just testing loads to see if they will cycle the action on a semi-auto, I can do that in my garage. My neighbors don't seem to notice. If my neighbor starts up his Harley, they definitely won't notice my shooting. :)
I do not get why this old thread was resurrected one year later ... ???
I can get there in about 8 minutes.
I live about 7 miles from the private gun club that i belong to. We have indoor and outdoor ranges. I can access the indoor range 24/7/365. Most times i go there I am the only one there.
Everybody usually joins something. A gun club is no worse than the other choices, if you like to shoot a lot.
There is a fairly posh gun club south of our cityscape, with the county public gun ranges (several) not far from there.
So everybody gets a chance to go and shoot, whether they fancy public or private.
I don't shoot that much -- 4 classes a year to refresh my skills -- and occasionally otherwise. So it is definitely not worth joining a private gun club for me.
I do belong to a well known fraternity, but it has nothing to do with shooting. We are more into eating, and drinking, and going to sporting events like NFL and MLB games, with Superbowl parties, and so forth. Whence came you? From a hall of the Holy Saints John at Jerusalem.
There are lots of clubs to join, of many different types. So whatever floats your boat should work for you.
I live less than 15 minutes from the range(s) and the outdoor range is a city-owned unsupervised range. Can get a bit hectic, but if you go while most folks are at work it's generally mostly empty.

DALLAS - Wealth, income and tax fairness and transparency have become issues in the Republican presidential campaign, and they're nudging their way into the campaign for U.S. Senate in Texas.
Here's how the most prominent Republicans in the race stack up in net worth: Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, more than $200 million. Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert has at least $12 million. Former Solicitor General Ted Cruz has at least $918,000. Craig James hasn't reported his net worth, but says he will, as required by law.
However, Thursday James released his tax returns for the past five years, something the others haven't done yet.
Former ESPN football analyst and SMU star James was the last candidate to join the race, but he's the first to release his tax returns.
"But I have opted to step into this arena of public service, and so therefore it's important for me to open up, so people get a chance to know all they can about me," James said at a Dallas news conference.
James' 2010 married filing jointly return shows adjusted gross income of more than $256,000 that includes his $113,000 dollar ESPN salary. His ESPN salary hit a high of $315,000 over the five years in 2008.
Other income comes from ranching and real estate. James' federal effective tax rate was nine percent in 2010.
James disclosure forced the other candidates to quickly follow.
The campaign of Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst said he'll release 2009 and 2010 returns and a 2011 summary Friday.
Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert's campaign said he will in the days ahead. And former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz said he will, too, if Leppert and Dewhurst do.
James said what others did would be up to them, but he "hope[s] the other candidates will follow suit." and he "think[s] they should."
But tax returns can cause headaches for candidates.
James earned between one-and-four million dollars a year over 2006 to 2009. His five years combined income is $9.3 million.
But his returns showed just 1 percent in charitable giving.
A tough question now for a candidate who speaks of his religious faith a lot.
"My charitable giving is nowhere near what it should be. [Am I] embarrassed about that? Probably not," James said. "There are a lot of things that I do that don't fall into the charitable contributions category. I have given to my church, but it's not a good number. But it is what it is."
James hopes what voters like is his transparency.

Jesus was a Middle-Eastern Jewish man who advocated for the seperation of church and state, pacifism, free healthcare, and reform. Frankly, I'm surprised he's so popular among conservatives.
He also hung out with prostitutes and prisoners, immigrated illegally, didn't speak English, frowned upon laissez faire capitalism, and advocated love and acceptance for all. Oh and he wore what by modern standards we'd pretty much call dresses and Berkenstocks.

Rat Cyborg Gets Digital CerebellumWed, 12th October 2011
As part of the FP7 ReNaChip project managed by INEX, an artifical cerebellum has restored lost brain function in rats, bringing the prospect of cyborg-style brain implants a step closer to reality. Such implants could eventually be used to replace areas of brain tissue damaged by stroke and other conditions, or even to enhance healthy brain function and restore learning processes that decline with age.
