Located just north of Seoul and about an hour south of Dongducheon, is the suburban city of Uijongbu. Besides being nationally famous for serving the best budaechigae in the country the city is also home to soldiers of the Second Infantry Division. Below is a graphic of the locations of current and former USFK camps in Uijongbu:
Out of all of these camps only two remain operational today, Camp Red Cloud in the city's northwest and Camp Stanley to the city's southeast. All of the remaining camps have been closed since 2005 as part of USFK's transformation program to reduce the force footprint in Korea. If you look at the map all of these camps used to be on the outskirts of the old city of Uijongbu. However, as Korea prospered economically so did Uijongbu and the camps were completely swallowed up by the surrounding city.
The urban density of Uijongbu played a part in the decision to reduce soldiers and consolidate camps in Uijongbu. After a number of these camps were closed down the anti-US groups started protesting that these camps were polluted wastelands that were a danger to the surrounding Korean community. During a recent visit to Uijongbu, I decided to see what the current status of the camps really is.
The first camp I started at was Camp Red Cloud:
Camp Red Cloud (CRC) is the home to the headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Division and a few miscellaneous associated with the division headquarters. The camp's namesake is Corporal Mitchell Red Cloud, a Winnebago Indian from Wisconsin that was post-humanously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Korean War. The camp is quite nice and has a busy golf course that is usually over flowing with Korean golfers. I took no pictures from inside the camp since it is still open and have my own policy of not taking pictures inside open USFK camps due to operational security concerns, but here is a picture of the division headquarters from the 2ID webpage:
From CRC I crossed the busy highway in front of the camp and walked down the road through the small "ville" in front of CRC and towards Camp La Guardia. The ville area in front of CRC is not really your typical soldier "ville" in Korea and is more of what you see in a typical Korean neighborhood. Camp La Guardia like many 2ID camps closed down in 2005. The camp is actually built around an old airstrip that originally gave the camp it's name by being named after La Guardia Airport in New York. Before closing down, Camp La Guardia served as the home for an engineer bridging company because the runway provided plenty of room to park the large engineer equipment. The engineers are long gone and when I approached the front gate I noticed a ROK Army soldier guarding the gate. I asked him if I can take a picture of the camp from inside the gate and he would not let me. So I took this picture later on in the day from Cheonbosan Mountain that overlooks Uijongbu:
From La Guardia I walked down to the Uijongbu train station which sits adjacent to Camp Falling Water. Camp Falling Water used to serve as the home for the Department of Public Works (DPW). DPW is staffed with Korean workers that are responsible for maintenance operations on the USFK camps. Camp Falling Water is a very small camp, more like a collection of warehouses, that was closed down in 2005 as well.
From the train station I caught a bus to Camp Kyle that sits on the northeast side of the city. The camp is named after 2nd Lieutenant Darwin Kyle who was post-humanously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Korean War. This camp was also closed in 2005 and was home to a maintenance company and a quartermaster company when it closed. At the camp's entrance I once again talked to a couple of ROK Army guards that told me I could not take pictures of the camp because it was Top Secret. For being some place so Top Secret it sure was easy to get a picture by walking over to the nearby pedestrian overpass and taking a picture of the camp from up there:
No that is not a massive oil slick on the camp as the anti-US groups would have you believe, but just water from an earlier rain shower. I did see some ROK Army trucks moving around the camp, but besides that no activity at all. From Camp Kyle I walked along the side of the camp and followed a trail that leads up Cheonbo Mountain behind the camp and took this overhead view of the camp:
Notice that some how all these green trees are some how growing on this polluted USFK camp. From up on the mountain I could also see Camp Essayons which lies on the western slope of the mountain:
Camp Essayons many years ago was once home to an engineer unit that named the camp after the Corps of Engineers motto of Essayons, which is French for "Let Us Try". Camp Essayons was last home to a military intelligence battalion before the camp also closed down in 2005 as part of the USFK transformation.
From the very top of the mountain I could see Camp Stanley as well, that lies to the city's southeast on the slopes of Mt. Surak:
Camp Stanley is named after Colonel Thomas Stanley who was killed in a vehicle accident in Italy in 1944 during World War II.
Camp Stanley is currently still open and is mainly a logistical base for the 2nd Infantry Division. Camp Stanley has actually escaped being surrounded by urban sprawl due to the fact that is located right next to a Korean prison and it's adjacent rice paddies. The Korean prison is the building you see above with the blue roof. From Camp Stanley you can sometimes hear the prisoners singing songs and cadence from the prison. You can often see them working in the prison's rice paddies as well. The picture below is of Camp Stanley as viewed from Surak Mountain:
Across the street from Camp Stanley you can see the rice paddies the prisoners work in that helps give the area a distinct aroma during the summer months. The quality of life on Camp Stanley greatly improved two years ago with the opening of the new PX on the camp:
Camp Stanley is also home to the only real soldier "ville" in Uijongbu where one can find the typical juicy bars, pawn shops, chicken on a stick shacks, counterfeit clothing stores, coin & plaque shops, and other typical staples of a "ville" in Korea:
Finally, from Cheonbo Mountain I had a bird's eye view over tiny Camp Sears:
Camp Sears was once home to a headquarters battery of a short-range air defense battalion. The Camp was named after Sergeant First Class Jerome Sears who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross during the Korean War. The camp closed as well in 2005. While walking down the mountain towards the camp I could see that some how locals were growing crops along the polluted fence line of this USFK Camp:
Quite shocking that locals would be willing to eat crops grown in such polluted soil. I then walked to the front gate of the camp and found no one guarding the camp and was able to take this picture of the front of the camp:
Once again the oasis of green growing in the middle of the dense urban jungle of Uijongbu is quite striking. The fact is that these USFK camps are much cleaner than an equivalent ROK Army base that has been open for 50 years. The camps in general are much cleaner than surrounding communities as well. The camps have plenty of trees and open space that could be turned into useful parks and facilities for the city of Uijongbu. The local government had big plans to turn the camps into parks and administrative centers for the city. Camp La Guardia and Camp Falling Water would have been an excellent locations to turn into a large city park in the section of the city in desperate need of some green space.
However, as usual the outside anti-US groups ruined things for the surrounding community by pushing their bogus pollution agenda. Because of the anti-US groups the hand over of the land was delayed for two years and when the camps were finally handed over, the land was given to the ROK Army instead of the local government. Many people I know in Uijongbu are very upset by the interference of the anti-US groups.
If anti-US groups like Green Korea really cared about the environment, instead of making bogus camp pollution claims, they should be complaining that USFK should clean the graffiti on Cheonbo Mountain overlooking Uijongbu. This faded unit crest is of the old 702nd MSB unit that was stationed at Camp Sears more than a decade ago:
The mountain also has other smaller patches of graffiti from other units as well. Now this is something that I can legitimately see people complaining to USFK to clean up, however Green Korea is silent. It is because the anti-US groups like Green Korea do not care about the environment and instead were formed to promote an anti-USFK agenda that has since been linked to a North Korean spy ring. Creating as many obstacles as possible to prevent the USFK transformation was the goal of Green Korea and their North Korean puppet masters, not any concern about the environment. So in the end the USFK transformation happened anyway and the only people that lost out due to the anti-US groups were the people of Uijongbu.
If you have an interesting or funny veteran story from your time in Korea I would love to hear it. If it is a good story I am willing to publish it here on the ROK Drop.

Sorry for the delay.....
To make a long story short, lets just say that the company that I work for has lost all internet activity for a the unforeseen future. We are contracted through the department of defense, and we got a legitimate hacker from another country that got past our firewall. We get 1500+ attempts to get past our firewall a day, but this one actually got past it, and attempted to steal important information. I'll try to keep these posts going. I just have to find the tim to create them at home.
This weeks post will be a double feature. I will post two pictures. You can create a caption for both of them as many times as you want. Just explain which picture you are captioning. Maybe put #1 or #2 in your subject line.
Edition 1.4 (season #1, contest #4) of SS&R's "unofficially official" create-a-caption contest has begun. The time to submit captions for week #6 has ended and the rec's have been counted. The winner for last week's contest was.................. {drum roll} ................... AJackson729.

The show was amazing! We had so much fun. The only thing that kept me from giving a 5 stars is we were placed in the very last row and the light poles blocked some of the view. We ordered from goldstar and was not able to see our tix beforehand.

The event itself was wonderful and gets five stars. The seats we purchased were terrible for the price we paid (price level 1) and Goldstar gets 2 stars at best.
TOTEM traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly.
The characters evolve on a stage evoking a giant turtle, the symbol of origin for many ancient civilizations. Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species.
Somewhere between science and legend TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.
TOTEM runs approximately 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 30-minute intermission.

♥ I love the simple bouquets shared on Found While Walking. So unfussy and fresh.
♥ It's discouraging as a vintage reseller when people don't realize the labor that goes into getting some garments ready to sell. This journey of a dress post illustrates how time-intensive the process sometimes can be.
♥ These caffeine patches are the most genius idea on the face of the planet. Want.
♥ I'm jealous of Micaela's recent thrift-store score.
♥ How cool is this stupid simple hair comb makeover DIY? I'll definitely have to try it soon.
♥ While I've sworn off bourbon for life (or at least the rest of October), I do want to try this recipe ASAP.
♥ It figures that as soon as I step away from tumblr, up pops a new Dolly Parton blog. Of course I love every post!
♥ Bookmark these tips for finding one's passion for a listless, lazy day. So many good ideas!
♥ And lastly, two words: SEQUIN GRAFFITI.
I've been thinking about Tammy Wynette a lot lately. Maybe it's because I changed my work computer's desktop to this last Friday, or maybe it's because I'm saying her name 100 times a day, scolding my naughty kitty, her green-eyed namesake. So last week, when I came upon a couple handwritten recipes of hers on the Country Music Hall of Fame's website (check them out here), I decided her pumpkin bread would be the perfect baking project. Like most of my go-to recipes, it's pretty simple and pretty delicious.
♥ 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
♥ 1 teaspoon nutmeg
♥ 1 teaspoon cinnamon
♥ 4 eggs, lightly beaten
♥ 3 1/2 cups sugar
♥ 2 1/2 cups mashed pumpkin
♥ 1 cup vegetable oil
♥ 1 teaspoon vanilla
♥ 1 cup chopped nuts
Mix dry ingredients, blend other ingredients, except nuts. Mix alternately and add nuts. Grease two Bundt pans and fill. Bake approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Then try to fend off your cat and dog while you enjoy a slice and a glass of milk.
Obviously, I'd recommend baking these babies with Tammy on. I've been listening to her "Another Lonely Song" album a lot. Every song is a winner.

Mighty Swell was featured on Twin Cities Live today! You can watch the whole segment, featuring cute vintage stuff from us, right here. I couldn't help but feel like a proud, happy, grateful mama when I saw the clip. I wish I could thank every single one of our wonderfully sweet, stylish customers. None of this would be possible without you, and I am sincerely grateful for your support.
Thank you.
Holy canoli, am I happy my work day is just about done. This morning when I got into the office, a box of books from Amazon arrived, and it's been killing me slowly to not be able to tear right into them. So, after swimming tonight, you'll find me curled up under the covers, kitty by my side, tea mug in one hand and book in the other. I'm most excited to start Carl Ann Harris' autobiography, Storms: My Life with Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac. Anyone else get Christmas Eve excited for new books? I know I'm not the only one!
The Lutheran church down the street from me is holding their annual rummage sale this weekend. I made a quick pit stop there on my way to work and was quite impressed with theprices and selection. I scored a couple vintage dresses, a Minnesota state flag, a pair of beautiful gold hoop earrings, some mugs and gifties for Mighty Swell grab bags and a drying rack for dishes (my dishwasher kicked the bucket week!) all for under $8. The surprise find of the morning was this autographed, framed photo of Stevie Nicks I got for 50 cents. (50 cents!!!) The frame is fugly, but that's an easy enough fix.
Anyway, there was a ton of stuff left this morning and they had boxes and boxes still to put out. If you'd like to check out this sale, here's what you need to know.
Calvary Lutheran Church's Ninth Annual Rummage Sale
Address: 3901 Chicago Avenue South, Minneapolis
Hours: Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
On Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to noon everything is half-price; from noon to 3:00 p.m. it's $1/bag and $2/box; from 3 – 4:00 p.m. everything that is left is free. Proceeds raised go towards the church's community programs, including Beechwood Inc., the Twin Cities Women's Choir and Crossroads Community Organization.
Reasonably priced breakfast treats, coffee, soup, hot dogs, BBQ sandwiches and homemade desserts are also available.
I'll definitely be stopping back tomorrow afternoon to shop the bag sale and pick up an apple pie bar and cup of coffee. I hope y'all are having fantastic Fridays so far!
♥ Christina has been posting nothing but vintage photos of her gorgeous grandma over on her tumblr this week and they are all so happy-making. The one above I found to be particularly adorable.
♥ Speaking of family photos, I've also been completely captivated by Backyard Bill's series of family portraits. His work is always so, so great.
♥ Have you ever wondered how the heck to wear a petticoat? I sure have! Let's let Solanah, from Vintage Vixen, tell us everything we need to know.
♥ 100 thank yous go to Rebecca from Minn Chic for giving the heads up that the OPI collection inspired by The Muppets (!!!) is coming soon. You can view the slide show of colors here; I pretty much want them all.
♥ Have you been weeping into your empty wine glass because sangria season is over? Yeah, me too. Let's all dry our eyes and make this autumn-y version, c/o Fresh Tart Steph, OK? OK.
♥ How cool is this contraption? It turns a basic jar into a beautiful, lace-y vase.
♥ Speaking of design done well, I'm in so much love with these daily metaltations, found via Miss Moss. The first one is my favorite, followed by the light bill one.
♥ This post, full of fresh ideas for wearing florals into the fall, couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. Thanks Lavelle!
I'll be back soon with a fun how-to…til then, take care.

Does anyone else get discouraged when looking for new DIY projects online? I consider myself a pretty good at the Google and even still my searches are fruitless, turning up posts by glue-gun crazed moms and little else. Even my consultations with the few vintage craft books I own has left me wanting for more. It seemed like fortuitous timing then, to discover Cathy of California via Lena Corwin's awesome blog. Simply reading through Cathy's posts makes the ice that is my creative brain start to thaw. Her artist profiles are fascinating and incomparable to anything else I've read. Obviously, I had no qualms at all about ordering her book, Vintage Craft Workshop, which includes designer how-tos for 24 vintage projects and is supplemented by artist profiles and craft history. I hope the UPS man hurries…
P.S. What are your favorite DIY blogs? I need to know.
P.P.S. I put together a back-to-school beauty supply list over on Beauty Bets today. Every product costs less than $7!
Junk mail doesn't usually make me squeal with delight, but last week, I got a direct mail piece I am pumped about—Hennepin County's annual "Choose to Reuse" coupon book. This baby is packed with really, really, really good coupons for all my favorite thrifts, including Salvation Army, Hidden Treasures, East Side Community Thrift, Hope Chest for Breast Cancer, St. Vincent de Paul, Goodwill, the PROP Shop and many more. But that's not all! (Goodness, I sound like an informercial!) The booklet also has discount offers at some of the best vintage shops in town, including Corner Store Vintage, B Squad Vintage, Rewind and record shops, like the Electric Fetus and Hymie's. (A list of all the 80+ participating retailers can be found here.)
If you didn't spot one in your mailbox last week (or if you're like me and have already used up all thrift-store coupons!), download the entire thing here or pick up a copy at Hennepin County Service Centers, Hennepin County libraries and all Three Rivers Park District locations. And get on it soon—coupons are only good through the end of November.
Cheers to saving, y'all!
Making tags is definitely one of the most mundane aspects of running my own vintage business. There's nothing really fun or glamorous about it, but if I don't have them on hand, nothing gets priced, which means product doesn't leave my house…which can make a girl feel a bit crowded (also, batty). I've been getting better at making batches in between Mighty Swell sales, my motivation frequently bolstered by the rom coms and documentaries I save to watch while I stamp-stamp-stamp away. This afternoon, I whipped out a slew while watching Vidal Sassoon: The Movie and found myself really inspired by his story and all the beautiful images from his hey day. If you're interested in '60s fashion or like learning the back stories of creative entrepreneurs, I recommend giving it a watch. (See the trailer here.) Have you been motivated or inspired by any movies or documentaries recently? Goodness knows I'll be back at tag-making soon enough and in need of something to watch!

Bret Michaels underwent successful surgery to close a hole in his heart on Monday, hospital officials say.
A spokesperson for St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona told the Associated Press that the 47-year-old singer of the rock band Poison is recuperating in the hospital's intensive care unit.
Doctors had found the hole in Michaels' heart in April after treating him for a warning stroke and brain hemorrhage. On Monday, they inserted a device that will remain in Michaels' heart permanently to stop abnormal blood flow between two chambers of his heart, which is thought to have caused the stoke.
Despite his ailments, the rocker has been keeping busy during the past few months. He toured the United States and Canada with his side band and released his fourth solo album.
In December, an episode of this VH1 reality show "Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It" showed that he and longtime girlfriend Kristi Gibson, the mother of his two daughters, have gotten engaged.
"Barring any complications, I should be out within three to four days," the Arizona Republic newspaper quoted Michaels as saying about his surgery. "Then, I will be down (resting) for three weeks. I don't know if I can sit around for that long, but I'll try my best."
In the spring, Michaels plans to release his autobiography, "Roses & Thorns: The Reality of My Rock & Roll Fantasy," and launch a book tour.
Poison was most popular in the 1980s with hits such as "Nothing But a Good Time" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Michaels gained a whole new generation of fans with his VH1 dating reality series "Rock of Love." He also won Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2010.

NFL sources told FOX 26 Sports that the Houston Texans have reached a contract agreement with Penn State's Bill O'Brien as he becomes the third head coach in franchise history.
According to NFL sources O'Brien agreed to a five-year contract.
The team is expeced to make the official announcement concerning O'Brien on Thursday.
He joins the Texans after two years as head coach at Penn State.
In his first season (2012) with the Nittany Lions O'Brien had remarkable success coming in the aftermath of the horrific Jerry Sandusky scandal.
O'Brien led Penn State to an 8-4 record, the first time a first-year coach led the Nittany Lions to an eight-win season in the 126-year history of the program.
After losing the first two games, O'Brien led Penn State on a five-game winning streak, the first such streak by a first-year head coach of the Nittany Lions since 1915.
O'Brien's first Penn State team wrapped up its 2012 season with a victory over eventual Big Ten champion Wisconsin.
For his efforts O'Brien was named winner of both the media and the coaches Big Ten Coach of the Awards and he was named the 2012 winner of the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award, given annually in Houston to college football's coach of the year.
In 2013, Penn State, which is not allowed to play in bowls as a result of the Sandusky scandal, finished the season with a 7-5 record.
Prior to joining Penn State, O'Brien spent five years (2007-2011) on head coach Bill Belichick's staff at New England.
He was the Patriots' receivers coach (2008), quarterbacks coach (2009-10) and then offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2011.
O'Brien has also worked at Brown, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Duke
O'Brien replaces Gary Kubiak who was fired with three games left in the regular season.
Kubiak had been with the Texans for eight years, leading them to their first two AFC South titles in 2011 and 2012.

Simple Tips to Boost Internet Speed
In our last article we learnt how to increase the FireFox Browser Speed by tweaking FireFox Browser's setting.
Today we are going to see couple of simple tips which will boost your internet speed. Let's start with the tip now…
Boost Internet Speed
Tip 1: Changing reserved bandwidth to 0%
Many of us are aware that Windows XP, 7 etc. reserves 20% of the bandwidth thus reducing the speed a little. So to change the bandwidth usage to 0%, follow the steps mentioned below.
Step 1: Go to Run and Type gpedit.msc (This will give access to Group Policy Editor)
Step 2: Click on Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler
Step 3: Open Limit Reservable bandwidth -> Check Enabled -> Change the value of Bandwidth Limit to 0%… Click OK
That's all… This tweak will increase the Internet Speed a bit.
Tip 2: Tweaking TCP/IP setting
Step 1: Download TCP Optimizer from this link (speedguide.net/downloads.php) (TCP Optimizer is a freeware which helps in adjusting the TCP/IP settings. The best thing about this application is that it doesn't require installation)
Step 2: Run TCP Optimizer and change the connection speed to your actual internet speed. Don't make any other changes in here.
Step 3: Reboot your system. That's all
Now you will find the difference in the Internet Speed, the difference won't be very huge but it is good enough to make you smile.
Try it and post in your experience.

Unlike other outbreaks of flu, the 1918 epidemic decimated not the young and the old, but those between the ages of 15 - 38. 0 Keeping a cold at bay while traveling Sponsored by The people most affected by the flu were: Young people Black people Pregnant women More men than women Unlike other outbreaks of flu, the 1918 epidemic decimated not the young and the old, but those between the ages of 15 - 38. Men were more severely affected than women, possibly because they moved around more and were exposed to the viral infections to a far greater degree. The Influenza Epidemic Commission surmised that the older population was partially immunised having lived through previous infections. Particularly hard hit were pregnant women. Spontaneous miscarriages were frequent amongst expectant mothers who had been infected. As the disease was fatal to so many potential parents, school enrollments reflected a marked drop in the mid-twenties, a fact ascribed by Cape Educational authorities to the significantly lower birth rates during and after the flu epidemic. Phillips indeed speaks of "a lost generation". The population of the Cape appeared to bear the brunt of this epidemic as shown by the figures below: Percentage of deaths by province: Cape Province - 62,46 Transvaal - 20,55 OFS - 6,98 Natal - 10,01 Of those who died, close on 80% were black, many living in rural areas of the Transkei and Ciskei.

New Orleans, La. - The New Orleans Police Department is searching for two men who robbed a casino last Wednesday.
Police say it happened November 27th around 1:30am at a casino in the 2400 block of Elysian Fields Avenue.
Two masked suspects walked into the business and disarmed a security officer.
The suspects forced the guard to a back room where the cashier's cage was kept.
One of the suspects pointed a gun at the cashier and ordered her to open a drawer.
The cashier complied with the robbers demands. The suspects went into the cash drawers and made off with over $15,000 in cash.
Investigators were able to obtain surveillance video from inside the casino.
Suspect one is described as an African-American male, 5'11', weighting approximately 200 pounds, brown complexion, wearing a black mask, blue hoodie, dark jeans and blue sneakers.
Suspect two is described as an African-American male, 5'11", weighing approximately 200 pounds, wearing a black mask, black hoodie, and black jeans.

This is likely subject to change with all the players being cut around the league. I cant imagine the Bucs don't look to improve at Tight End, Cornerback, Safety, Defensive Tackle, and maybe some other positions.
Quarterback: Josh Freeman, Mike Glennon, Dan Orlovsky. No surprise here.
Running Back: Doug Martin, Brian Leonard, Mike James, Peyton Hillis, Erik Lorig(FB). Bucs keep 4 running backs and one fullback. Leonard and Hillis have played fullback in their careers as well.
Wide Reciever: Vincent Jackson, Mike Williams, Kevin Ogletree, Tiquan Underwood, Eric Page. Bucs keep 5 receivers, with Page being the main return man.
Tight End: Luke Stocker, Tom Crabtree, Nate Byham, Tim Wright. Yikes. This is sad.
Tackle: Donald Penn, Demar Dotson, Gabe Carimi. Carimi can play Guard and Tackle.
Guard: Carl Nicks, Davin Joseph, Jamon Meredith. Meredith can play both Guard and Tackle.
Center: Jeremy Zuttah, Ted Larsen, Andrew Economos. Economos is the LS. Both Larsen and Zuttah can play Guard and Center. The theme of the O-Line is versatility in depth. Everyone can play two positions.
Defensive End: Adrian Clayborn, Da'Quan Bowers, Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, Steve Means, William Gholston, Trevor Scott. All the DE's make it. Gholston can also play 3-tech DT.
Defensive Tackle: Gerald McCoy, Akeem Spence, Derek Landri. Landri forces Gary Gibson off the roster to back up rookie stud Akeem Spence. William Gholston will likely backup GMC.
Linebacker: LaVonte David, Mason Foster, Dekoda Watson, Jonathon Casillas, Adam Hayward, Najee Goode. No surprise in the linebackers.
Cornerback: Darrelle Revis, Johnthan Banks, Leonard Johnson, Danny Gorrer, Rashaan Melvin, Michael Adams. Bucs keep 6 corners. Gorrer and Melvin both have injuries so I wouldn't be surprised to see a guy added to the mix here.
Safety: Dashon Goldson, Mark Barron, Ahmad Black, Keith Tandy. I would be surprised if the bucs didn't add a SS with Black and Tandy both only used to the FS role and with Tandy underperforming in the preseason.
Kicker: Ryan Lindell. Long live Derek Dimke.
Punter: Michael Koenen. The man who rests his leg on piles of money.
Reserve/Did Not Report: Jeff Demps (RB). Any day now Jeff.
Injured Reserve: Marvin Booker (LB), Jacob Cutrera (LB), Michael Smith (RB), and Anthony Gaitor (CB).
Non Football Injury Reserve: Connor Barth and Lawrence Tynes K's.

Times Herald
---- — NEWBERRY — An aging bridge along the Indiana Railroad line will be rebuilt. The 115-year-old bridge over the West Fork of the White River in Greene County is being called an important upgrade to the freight transportation system that services businesses in and around Daviess County.
"The current bridge is technologically obsolete," said Indiana Rail Road President Tom Hoback. "We have reduced the amount of weight which can be safely moved over the bridge to extend its life, but this is only a stopgap measure."
The project has received a huge financial boost with an $8.2 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The project is one of only 52 awarded in the nation. More than $9-billion in applications were made for $474 million in funding.
Indiana Rail Road is putting together the funding to cover the rest of the cost of the $13.75 million project."Indiana Rail Road will put up $2 million on the project, Southern Indiana Railroad will put in $1.5 million," said Eric Powell with Indiana Rail Road. "Duke Energy and IPL will also be putting in some upfront money that they will recover from rebates on freight moved along the line."
The rail line improvements will also be a positive for Crane. The line is part of the strategic rail corridor. Officials say 1,500 to 2,000 containers roll into the Navy base every year. "This bridge is a key link in the movement of southwest Indiana coal, grain, and manufactured goods, as well as military hardware for Naval Support Activity Crane," said Eighth Dist. Congressman Larry Bucshon. "The new bridge will remove height and weight limitations, creating cost and service efficiency opportunities for companies from Indianapolis to Evansville.
The pin-connected Pratt style bridge was built to handle loads for lighter trains of the 19th century. "We had really feared a catastrophic failure of the bridge," said Powell. "That would have cut off Crane and our other customers."
Indiana Rail Road lowered the weight moving across it to 263,000 pounds and lowered the speed limit on it to 10 miles per hour. "The standard for the rail business now is 286,000 pounds," said Powell. "The lower weights are costly to both consumers and our customers."
The grant will allow Indiana Rail Road to get the bridge rebuilt to meet modern standards. "The total cost exceeded their annual maintenance budget," said Will Wingfield with the Indiana Department of Transportation. "We were more than happy to support this effort."
The bridge project is also expected to have an impact on current Daviess County business operations and others that may arrive in the future. Grain Processing is one of the companies that moved more than 23,000 carloads over the bridge last year. "This creates a better climate for moving freight," said Daviess County Economic Development Director Ron Arnold. "This will build competition for Indiana Rail Road, Southern Indiana Railroad and CSX to move freight. That should help businesses be more competitive and develop more jobs."
The new bridge is also expected to create more opportunities at Indiana Rail Road's transload facility that opened earlier this year at Odon just off of I-69. "It allows things to continue moving forward," said Arnold. "I anticipate that in the next 12 months Indiana Rail Road will execute their plan to expand onto another 7 acres at that site."
Because the TIGER grant is only for shovel ready projects, Indiana Rail Road is ready to get to work on the bridge quickly. "All of the permitting is done," said Powell. "We'll begin construction next month, working pier to pier and it should be finished by late next year."
The company is also in discussions with the State Historic Society as part of an effort to preserve the old bridge as construction crews dismantle it.
"Indiana Congressman Larry Bucshon, Governor Mike Pence, and INDOT officials worked tirelessly on behalf of Indiana Rail Road and a number of southern Indiana businesses to secure the TIGER money for the replacement of this key bridge and I thank them for their extraordinary efforts," said Hoback. "Kudos, to our public officials for stepping to the plate and making possible a public-private partnership that will benefit Hoosiers in southwest Indiana for decades to come."

About Craig Cutler
Thank you for taking the time to visit my photography website. I grew up in the Southeastern Connecticut area (Mystic) and have enjoyed photography for most of my life. The beauty of the Connecticut and Rhode Island shorelines is amazing - one of the most scenic areas of our country. In high school I worked in the summertime for a large film processing company called Mystic Color Lab - back then it was the 2nd largest photographic film processing company in the United States, behind only York Photo of Pennsylvania. We used to process around 25,000 rolls of film a day in the summertime! Ah, the days of film...
At Penn State I took a film course called "History of the American Cinema." I was fascinated about positioning of objects, lighting, and angle of the camera could convey different messages to viewers of the films. I've never been able to watch a movie the same way since taking that class. I think that it's strongly influenced how I see art and photography.
I've spent the better part of the past twenty years teaching tennis. As a professional tennis instructor, attention to detail and timing is key to getting the desired result. I love the fact that through teaching tennis, I've been able to take a passion of mine and make a living out of it. I hope that my photography will be viewed much the same way.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions that you may have concerning the photographs you see or the website in general. These photographs will be available for purchase as of February 1, 2011. I have recently been accepted as a member of the North American Dispatch Photographers Network and am proud to be associated with the organization. Craig Cutler Photography is based out of Hartford, Connecticut, and is available for assignments throughout New England and in the New York City metropolitan area.
I hope that you'll enjoy viewing my galleries and will stop by from time to time to see what's new and exciting. I will try to update this website frequently with photographs from my travels. Again, thanks for stopping by to say hello.

However the owners reserve the right to stay in the penthouse if you have not rented it. In the case that the owners would be staying in the penthouse while you have rented the rest of the house, the other (5 bedrooms) we (the owners) would NOT be using any other areas including the pool, and common roof area and the guest will have quiet enjoyment of the Villa and its amenities as outlined here in this contract. We may from time to time, use the pier as necessary for boating, as this is a public area by Belizean Law.
If you have only rented either the 2-bedroom first floor suite or the 3-bedroom second floor suite, we (the owners) reserve the right to rent each and every suite including the penthouse separately and at the same time. This means you may be staying in the Villa with one or up to two other parties if you are just renting one of the three floors of the Villa. In the case the suites are rented separately, all common areas including the pool area, pier, beach and roof will be shared spaces.

Lego 8× 16 baseplate brick part #4204
You can find most of these parts at online Lego
stores on bricklink.com. Better yet, dig through
your Lego bins and adapt the design to suit what
you've got on hand.
Needlenose pliers
Small flathead screwdriver
Wire strippers
Diagonal cutters
Dremel tool with small drill and burr bits
for countersinking wood screws
then covering the splice with heat-shrink tubing.
This worked great, but wasn't very elegant. I wanted
to leave these Lego dongles on my gadgets all the
time, even when they were in my pockets, so getting
the wire length down to a minimum was important.
The splice wasn't helping that.
Looking more closely at the Lego 9V motor
wire brick, I noticed 4 pressure tabs on its ends.
I grabbed a small screwdriver and pried the bottom
off the brick. Inside, the insulated wire pair was
pierced onto 2 sharp metal posts. The wire was held
in place by the pressure between a small ridge of
plastic and the recently pried-off bottom. Excellent.
136 Make: Volume 12
Fig. A: Pry off the back panel of the Lego 9V motor
wire bricks using a small screwdriver. Discard or save
the wire, as you won't need it for this project.
I'd now be able to cut all of my charger wires in
half, and simply crimp a Lego motor wire brick
onto each end.
For my key chain, I ripped off the original Lego
design. I drilled a small hole into a 2× 4 brick and
then screwed a small screw eye into it. My apologies
to Lego purists for all the drilling, but hey, Lego
did it first!
The whole system was cheap and easy to build,
works great, and keeps my devices organized and
charged. I've gotten so used to it that I've installed
an unwired counterpart key rack at my office.
1. Splice the gadget chargers withLego brick connectors.1a. Pry off the bottoms of both bricks of a Lego9V motor wire for each gadget you plan to adapt.Remove the black Lego wire; you won't be usingit (Figure A).
1b. Plug in your charger, and test the plug with a
multimeter to determine voltage and ground. For
example, my Nokia phone charger has a negative
exterior and a positive interior. Make a note of this,
so you can double-check your work later before
plugging the device in.
1c. For devices that carry data as well as power
over their cables, such as iPods, you might need
to consult an online wiring diagram to determine
which pins carry voltage and ground.
1d. Unplug the charger, then snip the charger wire
¾" from the device-end plug. Carefully remove ½"
of the outer tubing to expose the insulated inner

Jarvis Named MPSF Player of the Week
Feb. 26, 2013
WOODLAND, Calif. - Sophomore Michaela Jarvis (Annapolis, Md.) was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
Jarvis scored three goals and added five assists in San Diego State's 19-6 victory over Saint Mary's on Friday night. Not only did she have a team-high eight points for the Aztecs, but Jarvis made plays in critical situations.
After Saint Mary's scored three consecutive goals to tie the score, 3-3, in the first half, Jarvis responded with an assist to put SDSU back ahead by one. Moments later, she scored a goal of her own to push the lead to 5-3. Jarvis added two more goals later in the first half and the Aztecs never trailed again. The sophomore leads the team in assists (8) and points (14), and is second in goals scored (6).
SDSU returns to the field on Friday, March 8, against La Salle. The game will be played under the lights and is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. PT at Aztec Lacrosse Field.

Pepin County (WQOW) - On the eve of the unofficial start of summer, a unique proposal to protect tourism. That proposal is for a "Frac Free Zone" in Pepin County.
Dozens of people turned out Thursday night to give their two cents.
Two Pepin County board members brought forward an ordinance to prohibit frac sand operations along Highway 35, also known as the Great River Road in Pepin County. That stretch of the highway runs right next to the Mississippi River.
"I came here because of the beauty and because of the water, but I survive here because of the tourists," says Dockside Mercantile owner Dorothy Thompson.
Tourism is what keeps some Pepin County businesses like Dorothy's afloat.
"For 20 years, people have been working on tourism in this area and building up that industry, and it provides the majority of jobs in Pepin and in Stockholm," says Thompson.
They say the beauty of the area is what drives tourists here. A proposal by two Pepin County board members, and the Lake Pepin Partners in Preservation, is designed to protect that.
"The purpose of it is to preserve the aesthetic qualities of this area, to kind of retain the tourism jobs. The tourism economy is the strongest economic engine in this area, and to help protect property values," says Pepin County Board member Bill Mavity.
The Great River Road Preservation Area would prohibit frac sand mining operations in this area next to the Mississippi River.
"The tourism economy is dependent on this area, they come on bicycles, they come on motorcycles, they come in car clubs. They wouldn't be coming at all if they've got 400-500 sand trucks on the roads everyday," says Mavity.
Dozens turned out a public hearing Thursday about the proposal, with a majority voicing their opinions in favor of the proposal. But for some the proposal goes too far.
"Wisconsin Department of Trade and Consumer protection and many others watching over our actions. Why would a landowner want to voluntarily put another noose around his neck," said one Pepin County resident.
The final say will be up to the county board.
Supporters of frac sand mining point to jobs and other investments. The Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association says the industry employs thousands of people, and says companies are making significant investments, generating hundreds of millions of dollars, which impacts the economy. The full Pepin County Board will take up the proposal in June. The county has one active sand mine.

Another welcome development regarding Google Nexus 7. Reports suggest that webOS has been ported to small Google tablet
Google Nexus 7 has been one of the most important success stories in the tablet market. On its strength Google started challenging Apple, the dominant force in the tablet market and smart-phone. Reports suggest that Google's small tablet –yes it has launched a very impressive 10 inch tablet Nexus 10 since then –will be sold in around 12-16 million units this year. This is a huge number and though it doesn't threaten Apple's dominance in the tablet market, nonetheless it establishes Google very well in the fast expanding tablet market as a major player.
Many people have been trying to experiment with this fascinating product. Now there is a report that webOS was successfully ported to Google's this very happening tablet. Though many of us may not be very excited about an OS that was presumed to b e dead after HP bought and almost forgot about it. But latest report indicate that the demise may not be complete and there are some signs that it is still alive and though may be very healthy, but there are signs of life in it.
A report in Android Authority says, "The port is still in alpha stages, which means it's not a usable operating system unless you're a developer or hacker. More specifically, hardware acceleration does not work yet, which means the system will be laggy. Still, the alpha port has the following working functionalities: Wi-Fi, brightness settings, gestures, and even features the webOS keyboard…The port uses Open webOS, which means the developers won't have to work from scratch in developing drivers for Android smartphones and tablets.
Nexus 7 is among the most talked about tablets right now. Asus has manufactured the tablet with plastic. The non touch-sensitive bezel of the tablet takes a larger proportion of the display compared to Apple's iPad and other leading tablets. Anyway, Nexus 7 boasts of good build quality. And thanks to a weight of 340 grams, the tablet is much friendly for portable use. You can easily fit it into to your pocket. So you won't feel the burden of carrying a tablet with the Nexus 7. Nexus 7 sports a 1280 x 800 pixel display that has 216 pixels per inch. Compared with the first two versions of iPad and Amazon Kindle Fire, Google's tablet has a better display. But, it falls short to the new iPad, which mounts an advanced Retina Display for high clarity. The tablet doesn't have a rear camera for capturing images and videos. Google seems to have intentionally skipped the camera as few people use camera of a tablet for taking images and videos. The front facing camera will help you make VoIP calls and video0 conferences. After Apple's ipad, this is reportedly the highest selling tablet in the market right now.

Colts clobber Rams to clinch playoff berth
Tue. April 24, 2012 at 9:55 p.m. | By Richard Burton
North Marion's Shawn Sanders (1) and Ryan Crile (7), seen in this file photo, were part of an explosive North Marion offense that went for 11 hits in a 20-0 blowout win over Eastside in the District 5A-6 semifinals held Tuesday night at NMHS. (Photo by DOUG ENGLE/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER)
SPARR- North Marion's baseball team made short work of Gainesville Eastside in the District 5A-6 semifinals on Tuesday night.
The Colts earned a spot in next week's regional playoffs and the right to play for the district title with a 20-0 win over the Rams in five innings.
With the win, North Marion (21-5) advances to face either Palatka or Belleview in Thursday night's championship game at 7.
To get there, the Colts breezed past the Rams for the third time this season.
"Our focus was to throw strikes, play good defense and have some quality at-bats," said North Marion coach Dale Hall, whose team outscored Eastside by a 56-4 score in the three games between the two teams.
Kyle Kalbaugh (7-1) and Alec Hayes combined for nine strikeouts and allowed just one hit in the semis.
The Colts scored in all four innings and took advantage of 10 errors and six walks, while pounding out 11 hits against four Eastside pitchers.
Walker Burgess smashed a three-run homer in a nine-run effort in the second inning on his way to knocking in five runs.
Garrison Vandeventer (two hits, double, two runs scored, RBI), Will MacKenzie (two hits, double, three RBI), Ryan Crile (three runs scored) and Shawn Sanders (three runs scored, two hits, two RBI) also were key hitters in the rout for the Colts.
The championship game for North Marion will be much tougher than what it faced on Tuesday.
The Colts scored a pair of one-run wins over No. 2 seed Palatka, including a walk-off win in extra innings in Sparr.
North Marion downed Belleview 8-2 at home and then had to rally in the top of the seventh inning for a road win later in the year.
