Information from the Sarasota Health Department:
The Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County announced today a confirmed case of chikungunya (\chik-en-gun-ye) fever in an individual who recently traveled to the Dominican Republic.
The individual is recovering from the illness. The concern about chikungunya, a disease spread by bites from infected mosquitoes, was heightened statewide in May when health officials started to learn of cases occurring in residents across the state after traveling to the Caribbean islands.
There have been no reports of anyone acquiring chikungunya locally in Sarasota County, Florida, nor in the United States.
Sporadic cases of this mosquito-borne disease unrelated to the current outbreak in the Caribbean can occur.
Local health officials were notified in early spring of an isolated case of the disease in a person who traveled to Asia.
The individual, who first became ill in late December, is recovering and still travels.
"Avoiding mosquito bites is the key to preventing infection with chikungunya and other mosquito-borne diseases," said DOH-Sarasota Medical Director Dr. William Heymann. "The typical summer rain pattern increases mosquito activity. Residents and visitors are urged to take precautions to reduce sources of standing water which serve as mosquito breeding sites, and to prevent mosquito bites."
"Aedes species mosquitoes transmit the chikungunya virus and the dengue virus. These mosquitoes bite mostly during the daytime and are associated with the accumulation of water in man-made containers that serve as breeding sites," said Sarasota County Mosquito Management Director Matt Smith. "Eliminating water sources (buckets, etc.) will greatly reduce encounters with this mosquito. Additionally, make sure that your window screens are in good order to reduce the risk of mosquitoes feeding inside your home."
DRAIN standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying.
• Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or
any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected.
• Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that
aren't being used.
• Empty and clean birdbaths and pet's water bowls at least once or twice a week.
• Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don't accumulate water.

As the name implies, the HandyViper is just a smaller edition of the Viper GFK. Its main use is for cleaning medium to small-sized chimneys, as well as cleaning exhaust and gas vents and smaller ventilation ducts.
The handyviper comes with a smaller, shorter rod than the viper GFK - 50' instead of 65'. It has an adjustable brake that provides superior operating control and comes with a handgrip.
At only 4 lbs., it is light, easy to transport and easy to handle. Comes with a belt clip for easier carrying. It is a perfect mate for the Viper and will be an equally useful addition.
For speed and efficiency, be sure to outfit your HandyViper with its own set of brushes for both prefab and masonry chimneys.

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Perhaps trying to send a message to gay activists who want him to do more, President Obama's re-election website has posted a timeline of 40 specific accomplishments his administration has made for the gay community -- a timeline that no doubt will be referenced both by his supporters and opponents in the coming months.
The rainbow-colored timeline begins in June 2009, when he ordered the federal government to extend some benefits to the partners of gay federal employees, and ends in March of this year, when he announced his opposition to a North Carolina constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between one man and one woman. In between, the timeline touts some of his more well-known accomplishments for the gay community, led by the repeal of the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and his legal opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act.
His re-election Twitter account sent out a Tweet April 20 with a link to the website and the message: "What three years of progress for the LGBT community looks like."
Some gay activists are upset Obama has not publicly supported gay "marriage," although many of them say he has taken positions and actions that leave little doubt where he stands. They were further upset when he did not sign an anti-discrimination executive order in April.
The campaign website states: "Together, we've fought for equal rights for LGBT Americans -- and the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is just one example of the progress we've achieved since President Obama took office. Take a look at the timeline below, then share it with your friends."
Following is the text from the timeline, which can be accessed online at https://my.barackobama.com/page/share/progress-for-lgbt-americans:

WS 19: Servicing a SEIKO Chronograph 6138
A closer view from the movement from the side still being on the Vibrograf microphone holder. I simply find this view beautiful. The movement leaves an impression of being thoroughly designed and yet compact. And in addition full of features providing for easier maintenance. I am not saying that this movement is easy to service, but if SEIKO did not have thought "ahead" when designing it, it would be a lot tougher.
Some dimensions: The Valjoux 72 hand wind (no rotor and no automatic winding system) measures 7.2 mm in height. The 6138 including the rotor and automatic winding system measures mere 8.3 mm! Cabalists will easily find a way to remember those measurements. And SEIKO gets yet another compliment for building such a slim automatic chronograph!

Calaska v. McClintick, et al. (corrected 4-1-98) Download as PDF Wordperfect 3 Back to Opinions page MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT Reporter of Decisions Decision:1998 ME 69 Docket:Yor-97-312 Submitted on Briefs:March 9, 1998 Decided:March 27, 1998 Panel:WATHEN, C.J., and ROBERTS, CLIFFORD, RUDMAN, DANA, and LIPEZ, JJ.
CALASKA PARTNERS L.P. v. JACK ALLEN McCLINTICK, et al.
WATHEN, C.J. [¶1] Defendants Jack and Alice McClintick appeal from the judgment of the Superior Court (York County, Fritzsche, J.) ordering the reinstatement and foreclosure of a mortgage on their property. The McClinticks contend that there was insufficient evidence to support the court's judgment and that the court erred in considering a post-trial affidavit to calculate the interest due on the mortgage note. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment. [¶2] The relevant facts may be summarized as follows: In 1988, the McClintick's co-signed a $200,000 demand note to evidence a debt to Maine National Bank so that their son could purchase drilling equipment for use in his business. As security for the note, the McClintick's executed a mortgage on their home. Although payments totaling approximately $40,000 were made on the note through November of 1990, no payments have been made since then, and the remaining principal balance is $156,356.84. [¶3] Following the financial failure of Maine National Bank in 1991, its successor bank discovered that, although three quarters of the demand note remained unpaid, an employee of the bank had filed a discharge of the McClintick's mortgage in the registry of deeds. Once the discharge was discovered, the bank employee who signed it filed an affidavit in the registry of deeds stating that the mortgage had been discharged in error. The bank then instituted foreclosure proceedings against the McClinticks. [¶4] In 1993, plaintiff Calaska Partners L.P. purchased the McClinticks' demand note and mortgage and was substituted as plaintiff in the original complaint for foreclosure. In September of 1996, Calaska filed a second amended complaint for foreclosure to include a claim for equitable reinstatement of the discharged mortgage. [¶5] The case was heard by the court and judgment issued for Calaska on its claim for reinstatement of the mortgage and its demand for foreclosure. The court ordered Calaska to submit its request for attorney fees and to submit a "sheet demonstrating how the claimed total interest figure was derived." [¶6] In response to the court's request, Calaska filed the affidavit of Alyn Byrne, general partner of Calaska. Although the McClinticks objected to the introduction of the affidavit, the court accepted the document and in its amended judgment ordered that as of March 24, 1997, a total of $265,502.12 was due to Calaska, with $40.17 interest accruing daily. The McClinticks now appeal from the court's judgment. [¶7] An equitable claim for the reinstatement of a mortgage that has been discharged by accident or mistake will be granted so long as "such relief does not operate to the detriment of intervening rights of third persons who may have relied upon the release and who are not chargeable with notice of the mistake or who will be prejudiced by reinstatement of the lien" Maine National Bank v. Morse, 30 B.R. 52, 56 (citing Federal Land Bank of Springfield v. Smith, 129 Me. 233, 237 (1930)). The McClinticks do not dispute that there are no third party rights in jeopardy in this case. Thus, the only issue before the court was whether or not the mortgage was discharged in error. [¶8] In its order, the court concluded that it "was convinced by both a preponderance of the evidence and clear and convincing evidence that the discharge was in error and that the mortgage should be reinstated." Contrary to the McClinticks' contentions, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the court's judgment under either standard. We therefore need not address their additional argument that we should adopt a clear and convincing burden of proof in claims seeking equitable reinstatement of a mortgage. [¶9] The McClinticks next contend that Calaska failed to introduce credible evidence of the amount of interest that accrued on the outstanding balance of the original demand note. They argue that the court improperly considered Calaska's post-trial affidavit. It is true that, in his affidavit, Byrne conceded that the calculation presented at trial was erroneous, and that he recalculated the interest due. Beyond illustrating the method of calculation, the affidavit contained nothing other than that which was either a matter of record or properly subject to judicial notice. The court committed no error in considering the affidavit in calculating the outstanding interest due on the principal. See Northeast Bank & Trust Co. v. Soley, 481 A.2d 1123, 1128 (Me. 1984). The entry is: Judgment affirmed.

Backstage spy: 'Phantom of the Opera'
As Clovis West moves into its final weekend of its big, ambitious production of "The Phantom of the Opera," buzz continues to build. A letter writer to The Bee wrote this week:
I had the pleasure of seeing Clovis West High School's performance of "The Phantom of the Opera." These students gave a fantastic performance and should be commended. Every one of them were outstanding. The orchestra and the singing were superb and the show enjoyable from beginning to the end. This is a must see.
With our feature Backstage Spy, we ask cast members from various local theater productions to carry a camera backstage during a typical performance and give us a feel for what it's like behind the scenes. Our photographer today is Madi Spate, assistant director of the show. Here are her photos and commentary from Thursday night's performance:
Raoul (Trent Dahlin) and Christine (Haylee Cotta) right before Act II. Masque-arrayed.
Backstage spy: "It's a Wonderful Life"
Backstage spy: "Bye Bye Birdie"
Backstage spy: "Magic at the Memorial"
Alyssa Susoeff, our stage manager, arrives, and business must begin!
Phantom (Isaac Ellis) must put on all his makeup for his 'good side.'
Female pre-show pow wow circle.
Male pre-show pow wow circle. (A little more rambunctious if you ask me.)
This is Christine (Haylee Cotta) and Carlotta's (Kelsey Sutton) way of physically warming up before the show.
Ya-ha, ya-aa, ya-aa-aa, ya-ha-ha-ha, ya-aa-aa-aa-aa.
Finally, intermission!!!! Our costume crew, (Gianna McMurry, Emily Martin, Emily Kaai) have been helping actors change nonstop since the opening number.

Tom Coughlin needs to go. Look how many dud games the Giants have had this year. They never show up for a big game and Coughlin will never lead this team to the playoffs again! I mean they lose to the Seahawks at home! And the Redskins, not once but twice. They lost to Vince Young in a huge game. Vince Freaking Young! V.Y. is awful.
And then Perry Fewell. What else can you say? Just terrible. The Giants defense is a sieve and they are completely healthy! There are absolutely no problems missing from the defensive secondary and they communicate as well as the people at the Tower of Bable (thanks guy, fire my spelling too!)
These knuckleheads must go.
And then that Jerry Reese. What does he know about signing free agents. Michael Boley? Come on man this guy will never make a big play. Too much money for Antrel Rolle, and Chris Canty is he even on the team?
And then he drafted Jacquian Williams. Who is this guy? What a wasted pick.
Sound familiar? Well, guess what people. We are ALL Idiots. Every one of us have questioned Tom Coughlin and/or Perry Fewell (yes you have, don't lie. If not Coughlin definitely Fewell) and people go crazy over the draft. I didn't even mention eveyone's favorite punching bag Jason Pierre Paul (he's pretty good too!)
Yes the Michael Boley signing looked bad at a time, but when he was out of games the Giants defense was so much different (and worse) without him that we see is true value. Chris Canty took awhile to get going but has been unheralded this year. Antrel Rolle, all this guy has done is show leadership (even if it's through the wrong venue like the media) and play versatile. He has played nickel cornerback, free safety, strong safety, linebacker/s hybrid. And has just made plays without complaining.
If this season has taught me anything it's that well, we're all idiots and should just defer to the masters. Perry Fewell has had a Spags like turnaround here. Coughlin still pushes the right buttons and Jerry Reese is a master.
Lets go Big Blue.

MagiQuest Myrtle Beach is a multi-level attraction complete with dueling stations, a large retail store and private party space. Using a Magic Wand you explore a world filled with creatures and characters.
It was a chilly weekday evening at Myrtle Beach, and I was trying to keep the kids entertained. They're 5 and 7. Just to give you an idea of their interests, they're planning to be Ginny Weasley and Hermione for Halloween. Needless to say they're really into wands and spells and magic.
Despite the fact that my kids love all things magical, MagiQuest wasn't high on my Myrtle Beach to-do list. I was planning on fun in the sun. Followed by fun at the water park. Followed by fun at delicious restaurants. MagiQuest? Wizards? Dragons? Unicorns? I was skeptical.
Then I realized this live-action adventure game involved Wands. I showed the kids pictures from the website. "We get a wand?" They were sold.
MagiQuest did not disappoint. When you arrive, you are greeted by a damsel wearing medieval clothes. She gives you a wand complete with a microchip that keeps track of your quest successes and failures. She enchants (programs) your wand, gives you a crash course on wizarding, then sends you off to complete your quests.
The game-playing area has a castle complete with dungeon, a forest, and a crypt. After visiting the Circle of Stones and choosing your Quest, you follow a riddle to find 4-6 clues. There are chests, crystals, and computer screens with sprites and wizards everywhere you turn. Wave your wand and the characters give you clues, the chests open and you earn gold, the crystals twinkle and you're a step closer to completing your quest. Once you've discovered the clues from your riddle, you earn a rune. Then you can move on to another Quest.
Does it sound nerdy? Maybe. But nerdy is the new cool. And my kids had a lot of fun. So much fun that they are still asking when we get to go back. It was their favorite place at Myrtle Beach. This is saying a lot when you consider how much they loved mini-golf, the beach, and the resort's waterpark.
Even though my kids gave MagiQuest rave reviews, there were a few downsides that prevented me from giving it 5 stars. First, there were glitches with my son's wand which made it difficult to use. This slowed us down a bit and could have been frustrating for my 5 year old. Also, you are allotted a certain amount of time for game play so you don't want to spend your time casting your wand over and over trying to get it to work. Lastly, in certain areas it was obvious that you were in a large auditorium, rather than a castle or forest. I'd love to see the decor upgraded a bit so that you could really lose yourself in the magic.
Despite the small drawbacks, MagiQuest was a surprisingly entertaining way to spend a cool evening at Myrtle Beach. We'll definitely go back the next time we are there. The best part is that our wands will remember our game play, so we can start where we left off!
Disclosure: We received 90 minutes of game play at Magiquest from the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, but the opinions expressed in this review reflect my own views.
On one of our trips to Myrtle Beach, we visited the Ripley's Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach and stumbled across MagiQuest. As my girls love fantasy, making up adventure games and Harry Potter, they were immediately intrigued. At home, they went online and learned all they could about this interactive role-playing game involving magical creatures and wizards. Both girls insisted that we had to return to Myrtle Beach so they could go on quests.
In the end, we decided that Camille could have a "destination birthday party" and took along three friends. All the kids had a fabulous time and insisted on going back for a second day.
When the girls heard we would be returning to Myrtle Beach once again, they brought along their wands, and on one chilly afternoon, we returned yet again. The girls picked their quests via the computer screens, ran around waving their wands at the appropriate places inside the "kingdom" and had lots of adventures.
MagiQuest is not for everybody. Kids who like fantasy games, though will likely love it! Chloe, age 8, had a bit of trouble with her wand not working which was frustrating, but mostly she was able to complete her quests on her own. Younger kids will likely need more assistance with picking out and completing quests. Thankfully, my girls were able to play unassisted while I sat quietly and relaxed.
I'm grown and I love going to magiquest, LOL. You walk in and get to decide what you want to be and buy your wand and the pay for your time and once you are inside its basically an interactive video game. It DOES take multiple visits to be able to beat the game, I would say at least 8+ hours on a non crowded day, but well worth the money.
My husband and I are in our late twenties and the first time we went to magiquest was on a weekend trip down to myrtle. We had no idea what magiquest was but after paying for an hour to play we were hooked. We spent the whole weekend in there playing and came back within a couple of months just to play some more. We absolutely LOVE magiquest. Yes it would be fun with kids, but adults can have just as much fun playing. We actually beat the game and then started over again with new wands. You can also go out in the gift shop and do a duel with another person if you wanted. I just wish they had more options after defeating the dragon. This is like the best interactive video game attraction ever and I would recommend going here to anyone and everyone!!! Even if you don't like video games you will LOVE magiquest, it's like a treasure hunt!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
My son and husband really enjoyed this attraction - spent hours there. Just know that you only need to buy the basic wand, you get to keep it and you can personalize it yourself later at home. You can then use it again at any location, including those at Great Wolf Lodge locations.
Magiquest is indoors so a good pick for a rainy day - off ourse you will share wit everyone else. It is aimed at elemetry age kids and is essentially a fairytale adventure. The main draw back is the cost. Upon entering you need to purchase a wand (and if you like a bunchof extra gizmos - wandtoppers etc), time to play the game and of course there is a gift shop!
I suggest for parents with pre-K and under kids that you purchase one wand per adult as the kids won't be able to work the adventure for themselves - it requires some skill to flick the wand at the correct angle at the TV screens and objects. Once inside you have a lesson on using your wand and how to play the adventure. You are then free to explore and work through the story line much as you would a video game. There are numerous screens and objects that the kids "zap" with their wands to create the story and plenty of cheesy decorations which appeal to the kids. We also suggest random zapping as you run around the room - this gets you more "gold" which can be useful later one in the games play.
It was not crowded when we went but on busy days acess to certain "rooms" is likely to be limited and your time will dwindle very quickly. Even on the quiet day we were unable to complete our adventure.
This place is perfect for Harry Potter fans. You get to travel to different levels in the building on different quests. You are also able to buy a wand with various power levels that you are able to recgarge for a fee when your initial game time is up.
Out of all the attractions/beaches/restaurants we went to when we visited Myrtle Beach, Magiquest was our kids all time favorite. Magiquest is a little on the pricey side, but it is worth it, especially if you have older children who are into fantasy, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. I think I had as much fun as the kids did at Magiquest. Each of my older guys had wands and then my husband and I paired off with our two little ones to complete our quests. The kids still have their wands and play with them all the time. The kids still ask when we are going to go back to Magiquest.
This is an expensive habit to get started, and my guess is they are betting you'll buy all the junk and never play again. However, my kids really loved it - and we had a great time. You buy playing time, and once your time is up so is the magic. If you have a little boy like mine who loves magic, and myth (like Lord of the Rings!) they'll love Magiquest.
My husband and I love going here. However it is not for everyone. It is better if the person can read and understand what they are reading. I would say it's best for ages 6/7 and up. It is also difficult if you are bringing a baby along as you cannot manuver a stroller around very well as it's a two story activity and I have seen no sign of an elevator. It would be more fun with out the little ones in tow. It is a little pricey at first because you have to invest in the wands that you also keep so they do act as a souvenier. However if you take your future trips on a weekday it is cheaper to play.
This is a neat idea for kids who are into magic or video games. However it is extremely expensive. Really only seems worth it if you were going to go many times, as you have to invest in a special wand and then pay to play. Also, it can be busy and dark. I would not recommend for kids to do by self until teen years.
This was a little pricey on our first trip because we had to invest in the wands but we have been back several times so we have definitely gotten our money's worth. After you buy your wand ($14 or $26 for wand + 75 minutes), you just pay for the time ($11/60 minutes) that you want to play. We could have stayed here for hours! It is like a giant scavenger hunt looking for fairies and fighting monsters with your wand. Super-cool!

A Newton County pastor is out on bond after family members say he shot and killed his nephew outside his church over the weekend.
The shooting happened around 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Belgrade Baptist Church in the 4400 of FM 1416 near Kirbybille in Newton County.
According to a news release issued by the Newton County Sheriff's Office, when deputies arrived at the church they found Curtis Paul Jones, 34, of Bon Wier, dead from gunshot wounds. Investigators say they determined he had been shot by Luther Jones, 64. Luther Jones, who is pastor at the church, was taken to the Newton County Sheriff's Office and charged with murder.
Paul Jones is a nephew of Luther Jones.
Another man at the church, not identified by authorities, was arrested on a charge of hindering apprehension or prosecution.
Family members say the second person arrested is the pastor's son and that he was trying to hide the gun. This has not been confirmed by authorities.
Juanita Jones, the victim's sister, told 12News that Curtis Jones was shot at least three times as he arrived at the church.
Many in the community surrounding the church know both the pastor and his nephew.
"It just don't make sense. Because they are both good people. For real, they're both real good people," James Hanks, a friend of the family said Sunday.
Family members of the Jones' said Curtis had recently been released from prison and that there had been a feud going on long before the shooting. They also said Curtis was going to church to get his life back on track.
A motive for the shooting has not been released by officials.
Luther Jones was arraigned and posted $100,000 bond on Monday.
An autopsy has been ordered. The investigation is ongoing.

I asked for help in the OT thread, but that hasn't been getting a lot of action and I know some of you don't venture in there anyway, so...
I'm putting together a scavenger hunt for middle schoolers and high schoolers that will take place at RBiA in the two hours preceding tomorrow (Monday) night's game. I've got a pretty healthy list going, but I feel like I would be missing out on an opportunity to make it great if I didn't ask for help from LSB.
I'm having them collect items (like a baseball hit into the stands during batting practice, an All-Star ballot with the Rangers names punched out, etc.), take pictures (Picture with Nolan Ryan, Nolan Ryan Statue, Nolan Ryan concession stand, Rangers Captain, etc.), and answer trivia (no cell phones allowed).
Any ideas are appreciated.

As a reminder, September 4th and the end of voting for Creative Loafing's "Best of the Bay" readers poll is approaching. Have you voted yet? 200 categories of local topics and businesses (votes in 20 categories are needed for your vote to count) including "Best Local Pro Sports Team", "Best Tampa Bay Lightning Player" and "Best Local Website" (Raw Charge could use your vote in that category, thanks!).
It came to my attention earlier today that Kurtis Foster and his wife Stephanie have suffered an immense personal tragedy: The passing of their infant daughter, Lila. I don't like making public spectacle out of players private lives -- be they births, weddings, etc, so it's uncomfortable for me to write this... But I did want to express my profound condolences to the Foster's and their extended family. Comments and well-wishes can be sent through the link in the title of this post. A memorial mass is scheduled in Petersborough, Ontario tomorrow at noon.
We at Raw Charge would like to express heartfelt condolences to Brian Burke and his family after his son, Brendan, was killed ln a car accident night in Indiana.

There's a fantastic lightweight match-up brewing between up-and-coming division prospects Joe Lauzon and George Sotiropoulos, as the Ultimate Fighter (TUF) veterans are currently in talks to throw down at the upcoming UFC 123 pay-per-view on Nov. 20 in Auburn Hills, MI.
MMAmania.com confirmed the pending match-up earlier today.
Lauzon (19-5) vaulted himself back into the 155-pound title hunt with a first round ass kicking of Gabe Ruediger at the UFC 118: "Edgar vs Penn 2" pay-per-view event last month in "Beantown."
It was an impressive rebound win for "J-Lau," who suffered just his second Octagon loss back in January after dropping a unanimous decision to the venerable Sam Stout at UFC 108: "Evans vs. Silva" in Las Vegas.
Overcoming the Aussie could push the former computer geek into a rematch with Kenny Florian -- or perhaps even bigger and better things.
After getting bounced from TUF 6 by now-exiled Tommy Speer, Sotiropoulos (13-2) has been nothing short of unstoppable, including a unanimous decision win over fellow submission specialist Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 116: "Lesnar vs. Carwin" back on July 3.
The convincing win over "Batman" was his seventh straight. In fact, his only loss in the past five years was a disqualification to Shinya Aoki, after Sotiropoulos kicked the Tobikan in his little Judans.
I don't think it's a stretch to call this one an early candidate for fight of the night.
UFC 123 is expected to be headlined by a light heavyweight match up of top contenders Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Karo "The Heat" Parisyan has also been given a second chance at UFC stardom against Dennis "Superman" Hallman.
Stay tuned for more UFC 123 fight announcements as they become available.

Mark's Closed Today And Monday. Mark Thanks You All
Posted 27 May 2012 - 04:45 PM
Due to local weather concerns (high winds) and cancellation of the Jazz Fest today I have decided not to open tonight. And we typically close for Memorial Day Holiday (Monday) as well.
So ,for those still in town I apologize for not being able to serve you one last pint.
I will post again with some video of Saturday if I can figure out how to post video here.
All I can say is you rocked Jacksonville, wow!
Tartan Army in full force. Quite spectacular!
You are a fantastic group of individuals all devoted to the same cause. I don't think there is anything like it I can compare it to really. Very rare stuff you have. Steeped in tradition that goes way, way back obviously.
Hope all have a good flight home and for those continuing on holiday/vacation enjoy yourselves.
Note to Zander: Inviting me to the match and sitting in your section was extremely gracious of you. Thank you!
Note to Robbie: Thank you for the shirt!
Note to all the Pipers: Great job, the locals loved every minute of it.
Note to Dave: Thanks for getting the ball rolling (nice dance moves as well).
Note to WallPaper Ricky: A star is born (picture on front page. Nice). Have your own stickers even!
Note to all: Thank you very, very much!
What started out as an idea for a bit of extra commerce turned into a once in a lifetime experience for me.
You made the front page of the local paper!
I shall stay in touch and follow your future shenanigans here on the forum.
Thank you my new friends. When I see you again the first pint is on me.

These 'yanks' here rarely have a queue out the door as you did. But then I realized how much beer you guys consumed. Our new record!
Well over 12 kegs (1/2 barrels=15.3 gallons = about 1500 draught pints) and about 1000 bottles of beer.
This does not even take liquor consumption into consideration.
Most of this was on Friday and Saturday! Thats about 20 drinks per person in 48 hours.
You guys are superhuman!
People still talking about The Tartan Army here.

That would be a bit more acceptable but still not much if an effort in a 48 hour period. What happened to the good old days when we could drink pub dry in a day? Pity myself and captain vodka never made it or I'm sure we could have helped push the average up

Now that I know that I will not offend I will give the actual number on Saturday: 3000 drinks served.
I am guessing most of that was consumed by the TA so, yes, 20 is a conservative number.
And you did drink us dry of Bud, Bud Light & vodka. That is a first for us!
Well Done!
Dave, see u later today, stay dry (it's raining here).

You must have just met the wimpy branch of the TA. Real men don't drink those beers or Vodka

ING Makes the List: 2007 List of Best Places to Work for GLBT Workers
Atlanta-based ING U.S. Financial Services was one of 142 companies to receive the distinction and seal as one of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation's 2007 Best Places to Work for GLBT Equality. The HRC recently recognized companies, including ING U.S. Financial Services, who scored a perfect 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index.
"We proudly accept this recognition as one of the companies on the HRC Foundation's 2007 List of Best Places to Work for GLBT workers," said Thomas J. McInerney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, ING Americas. "We are committed to fostering an environment that leverages the talents of GLBT employees, as well as ensuring that our work environment is inclusive and constructive for everyone. Finding, hiring and retaining talent is a high priority at ING, and one of the key drivers for the enterprise's long-term success, and this recognition will provide ING with increased access to diverse pools of talent."
The 2006 Corporate Equality Index surveyed and rated 446 companies on a scale of 0-100 percent on organizational initiatives that provide positive work environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
"We are pleased to offer this seal to help companies like ING tell this story: Their business philosophy is one that includes the hard work of GLBT Americans," said Daryl Herrschaft, Director for the Human Rights Campaign Foundations' Workplace Project. "We have reached a new point in corporate America where most companies appreciate the realities of life for GLBT people and have gone beyond simply enacting policies, to visibly celebrating them as a business strategy to attract and retain top talent."
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against GLBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
"There are multiple reasons why ING is a great place to work for all employees, but one of the key factors is that we continually strive to make it easier for our talented employees to build successful long-term careers in a respectful workplace," said Jacqui Robertson, vice president of Workplace Diversity, ING U.S. Financial Services.

The announcement of baseball's major awards is a week away, starting with the Rookies of the Year next Monday. The picks on who will win and who should win each award:
AL Rookie of the Year (Nov. 12)
Who should win: Mike Trout, Angels. This is the biggest no-brainer of the bunch. He hit .326 with 30 homers, 83 RBI and a league-leading 49 stolen bases and had an OPS of .963. Who will win: Trout.
NL Rookie of the Year (Nov. 12)
Who should win: Wade Miley, Diamondbacks. Miley won 16 games and had a 3.33 ERA and a 1.182 WHIP on a losing team. But it's a close call with Bryce Harper, who was a big part of a Washington Nationals team that won the NL East and finished strong. He hit .270 with 22 homers and 18 stolen bases at age 19. Harper's future looks to be stronger. Will that make the difference? Who will win: Harper.
AL Manager of the Year (Nov. 13)
Who should win: Bob Melvin, A's. This is another tough call with two top front-runners. Oakland came out of nowhere to win the AL West, finishing 20 games better than they did last season with a team that had its share of decimating injuries, too. But there's a lot of sentiment for Buck Showalter of the Orioles as well. Baltimore improved by 24 games from 2011. Can't go wrong either way. Who will win: Showalter.
NL Manager of the Year (Nov. 13)
Who should win: Davey Johnson, Nationals. Adeptly handled a young team and led them to a division title at least a year ahead of schedule. The Nationals were 18 games better than last season. Who will win: Johnson.
AL Cy Young Award (Nov. 14)
Who should win: David Price, Rays. Led the AL with his first 20-win season and led the league in ERA as well at 2.56. Struck out 205 in 2011 innings. So how does it seem like nobody noticed? Who will win: Justin Verlander (17-8, 2.64 ERA, 239 Ks, 238.2 IP).
NL Cy Young Award (Nov. 14)
Who should win: R.A. Dickey, Mets. Tougher call, but baseball writers love great stories, and Dickey is a great story. When has a knuckleballer ever led the league in strikeouts and won 20 games with a 2.73 ERA, and only walked 54 in 233.2 innings? And he did it for a losing team, too. Phil Niekro wishes he could have had a season like that. Clayton Kershaw (14-9, league-leading 2.53 ERA), last year's winner, deserves consideration. Who will win: Dickey.
AL Most Valuable Player (Nov. 15)
Who should win: Miguel Cabrera, Tigers. I know the sabermetrics folks are ga-ga about Trout, and deservedly so. Trout plays a tougher position, has speed and power, etc. But Cabrera won the first Triple Crown in 45 years and led his team to the playoffs. That's the MVP in my book. Who will win: Cabrera.
NL Most Valuable Player (Nov. 15)
Who should win: Buster Posey, Giants. There's some sentiment toward the Cardinals' Yadier Molina, who had a career season at .315 with 22 homers and 76 RBI. He's also a Gold Glove winner, and he should be in the top three. But Posey, who won the batting title at .336 and also hit 24 homers and drove in 103 runs, has entered that star stratosphere now, and he's the leader of a budding dynasty in San Francisco. Who will win: Posey.

Friends and family gave emotional goodbyes to iconic WSMV weatherman Bill Hall Friday at his funeral Friday morning at Temple Baptist Church.
Scores of people lined up at the church for the public viewing of the beloved broadcaster .
One by one, people made their way into the church to share memories and say their good-byes to the beloved WSMV weather personality.
Among the mourners were well-known faces such as Channel 4 anchor Demetria Kalodimos.
"It's not going to be the same without Bill Hall around," she said.
But there were also people like Kevin Elliott who lives in West Nashville, and caught the bus to the church for the viewing. Elliott was the first person in line Thursday, because he says Bill was close to number one in his heart.
"Bill Hall always had that smile, always had that joyful smile. He was a joyful man," Elliott said.
For more than three decades that joy was contagious at Channel 4 and across Middle Tennessee.
At Bill's visitation, people like Jerry Swindell recalled moving to Nashville and falling in love with Bill and his natural style.
Bill often said he never met a stranger and could talk to the man on the street as well as the one in the palace, and people knew it.
"He was very humble, very sweet," Swindell said.
Just outside the church where fans were saying their farewells to Bill is a small pond. A sign nearby said "No Fishing." Fans thought it was appropriate, saying Bill, the outdoorsman, is no doubt catching big bass with the Big Man upstairs now.
Bill was dressed in camouflage and had what appeared to be a smile on his face. But his fans were saying, 'that's just Bill.'
Long-time Channel 4 weatherman Bill Hall dies
Bill died Dec. 23 at the age of 65. He joined WSM-TV on February 1, 1974, as a weather reporter, and in 1977 he moved into the chief weathercaster position.
Bill spent 31 years on the air at Channel 4, as his distinctive and calming voice filled the living rooms of his beloved viewers nightly.
He will be remembered as a trusted and reassuring presence for viewers, as well as a loyal and caring friend for his colleagues.
Bill was known for his love of nature, and his outdoors and gardening segments became popular features.
He also always found time to provide assistance to charities, churches, schools and community groups.
And generations of school children remember his friendship with the one and only Snowbird.
Interment will be at Pinecrest Memorial Gardens, 2391 Nashville Highway in Columbia.
In lieu of flowers, the family has established a memorial fund.

BBR Rankings: Schedule-Adjusted Offensive and Defensive Ratings (December 10, 2010)
The Cavs are currently the worst team in the NBA in combined offensive and defensive ratings (as used by basketball-reference). Not the the single worst offensive team, that would be the Milwaukee Bucks, and not the single worst defensive team, that being the Washington Wizards, but when taken together both offensively and defensively, the worst team in the league providing neutral opponent. This is very good news actually as it will give the team a chance to hit the lottery and hopefully be a top 5 drafting team.

How to transcribe complex solos with PTB and Cool Edit Pro
i figured this out yesterday, and i bet a bunch of people do something similar, but this is for people who don't know:
Before i use to look at powertab solos and see, "hey how did they come up with those odd rhythmic groupings? quintuplet, septuplet, 7:6, 9:6? what the hell?". I didn't even know that 7:6 or 9:6 meant.
I've tried powertabbing fast solos, and the measure would always be underfull or overfull, because i wasn't guessing the right speed at which the notes were played. The speed of the notes determined how long the notes were, and if you got that wrong, then you'll have the problem with your measures being underfull or overfull. On top of that, I couldn't find where the solo started with relation to the rest of the riff, so my solo could've been displaced a few notes to the right or the left, which would also make it hard for finding the right amount of notes in a passage.
So i figured this method, and it has made things somewhat easier:
1. First, determine the bpm of the song. this is very important.
2. Go into Cool Edit ( or a similar multitrack and wave-editing program) and put your mp3 into multitrack view. Select one measure of the mp3, try to find where the riff starts and ends before it repeats. (Split this into another track if you need to , that'll help). Take a note of how long this passage is in seconds.
3. Go into Powertab, and set the metronome to the correct speed. Go into guitar setup and change the instrument to Woodblock (or whatever instrument you can hear easily over all the instruments in the song). In the measure,put one eighth note down (I put it on the B string, 0th fret). Export this eighth note to midi.
4. Import that midi you made in step 3 into CoolEdit onto an adjacent track.Line it up with the beginning of the riff you want to transcribe. now loop duplicate the midi 7 times. These 8 midi blocks next to eachother should make one big block, and should be the same length as the riff you want to transcribe. This is crucial, if they're not the same length (or pretty close), go back to step 3 and adjust the bpm.
5.Now with these midi blocks, you have the riff subdivided into 8 sections, so you can figure out what the guitarist is playing in each 8th note of the passage! All you have to do is select and drag how many eighth notes you want to hear (the selection will snap to the midi blocks) and hit play so that the metronome midi block and the passage you're trying to figure out play simultaneously. With this you can figure how many notes are in each eighth note, and where the note starts in relation to the other notes. This will help you figure out those nasty tuplets
if you select 2 eighth notes and play, let's say you hear 5 notes in that span of 2 eighth notes. 2 eighth notes = 4 sixteenth notes. That's 5 notes in the space of 4 sixteenth notes, i.e. a quintuplet. put down 5 16th notes in your powertab, select those 5 notes, hit 'i' on your keyboard. you'll probably see 6 in the space of 4, so just change that to 5 in the space of 4. and there you go, you just figured out a quintuplet
same thing if you heard 7 notes in 2 eighth notes, that's 7 in the space of 4 sixteenth notes, that's a septuplet.
if you hear 3 in the span of 1 eighth note, that's a 16th note triplet.
if you hear 6 in the span of 2 eighth notes, that's a sixtuplet.
now what if you notice in the 2 eighth notes, that the guitarist plays a lick that's 4 notes and the last note of that lick stops in the middle of the 2nd eighth note. if he played those 4 notes in 1.5 eighth notes, that's 3 16th notes. so then if you pressed 'i' you would get a funky "4:3" over the notes, 'cuase it's 4 notes in the space of 3 16th notes.
that's how you get funky groupings of 5:6, or 8:6, etc.
And since you're specifically looking at each 8th note, you won't go over or under the measure and get frustrated at why you suck at tabbing so much
6. put the cursor line (the vertical one) at the end of the big midi block. group the midi blocks together and move them to the right with the right click button. and then repeat step 5, and eventually you'll have the whole solo figured out.
if you want me to upload screenshots to help you, i'll do those upon request.

A drugged out Kiffin coach and a gun-totin' wideout?
I nominate the Arkansas State Red Wolves as the new favorite team of the Commentariat. As Football Study Hall says: "I get the distinct impression that the Most Interesting (new) (mid-major) Coach in the World is going to either be a colossal success at ASU ... or a colossal failure. Either Gus Malzahn or Todd Dodge. Honestly, anything else would be somewhat disappointing."

Barcelona May Be Competition for Teletovic
The agent for Mirza Teletovic says his client will play in the NBA next season and named the Nets and Cavaliers as his top choices. But that has not stopped F.C. Barcelona, one of Europe's top teams, from trying to sign him. Reports indicate that Barcelona will be ready to make an offer to Teletovic if he can't get enough from the NBA to cover his $2 million buyout from Caja Laboral.

First Lady Michelle Obama tours Europe in style during the spring of 2009.
Michelle Obama Inaugural Fashion Photo Gallery
First Lady Michelle Obama set the style world on fire with her chic looks, which included a yellow lace dress and coat from Isabel Toledo, an ivory gown from Jason Wu, and a camel and black suit from Narciso Rodriguez.
Jill Biden's Inaugural Looks
For day Jill Biden chose a houndstooth dress topped by a red coat and tall black boots. For night, the V.P. wife wore a strapless red gown.
Sasha and Malia Obama's Inaugural Looks
The Obamas' young daughters set the style standard for youngsters with their adorable, ribbon-belted Crewcuts looks for Inauguration Day.
Own a Piece of (Designer) History with Inaugural Collections
Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan and other major designers have created pieces especially for the inauguration. Tory Burch and DVF each did a canvas tote ($70) with their individual interpretations of President Obama. Zac Posen, Donna Karan and Derek Lam all created T-shirts ($45) and Alexander Wang has created a $40 scarf. The collection is available at the Presidential Inaugural Store located at 625 E Street NW in Washington, DC, or at the PIC Online Store.
What Should Michelle Obama Wear?
WWD.com asked that question of designers and got 35 sketches of proposed outfits to cover the inaugural ceremonies. I hope she'll pick a New York-based designer like Michael Kors (love the one-shoulder blue dress) or Peter Som (the winter white cashmere is fabulous). And I really hope that she skips the dreadful dress Zac Posen sketched (what was he thinking?) and go with something grand like the Monique Lhuillier red dress. What do you think?
Steal Michelle Obama's Style:Dresses You Can Wear
The First-Lady-to-be relies on fabulous dress styles to get through her public appearances. Get the same look for yourself.
You Decide: Michelle Obama's election night dress.
She's been named the best-dressed woman in the world, but Michelle Obama's election night dress left some fans wondering if the First-Lady-to-be could still lead the style world. My vote's in for Michelle Obama to still set a wonderful fashion vibe (in fact, many of the dress styles she wear work for most women); the red and black Narciso Rodriguez (thanks to Fashiontribes for digging up that one) that she wore on election night was simply ruined by a black cardigan. Take the poll to vote on this look.

New market sprouts in Newbury Park
On a recent rainy Saturday, I went to the Oak Park farmers market and on the way home decided to see if there really was a farmers market in the Loehmann's parking lot in Newbury Park, which I'd heard rumors about. Pay dirt!
Helen Lee from Los Feliz has indeed started a Saturday farmers market in Newbury Park. According to Lee, she had tried to establish a market there previously, but ran into problems with the city over permitting. After looking around she found a new site on Hillcrest Avenue.
Despite rain, the market was doing well, with Underwood Family Farms helming a booth along with other farmers market regulars. Lee said she usually had more vendors, but the rain had kept some away.
In Oak Park, only a stalwart few vendors remained, including Kathy Feig at the Country Fresh Herbs booth.
With the weather getting warmer and days getting longer, Feig promised that she soon will be offering a variety of fresh basil grown outside instead of in a greenhouse.
"It has a whole different texture and look," she said.
Sundays: 8:30 a.m. to noon, College of the Canyons (parking lot 8 off Valencia Boulevard), Santa Clarita (529-6266). 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 300 E. Matilija St., Ojai (698-5555). 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Agoura Hills City Mall, Kanan Road (818-591-8286). 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Harbor and Channel Islands boulevards (includes a fish market), Oxnard (643-6458). 10 to 2 p.m., Village Glen Plaza, between Agoura and Townsgate roads, Westlake Village (818-591-8286).
Wednesdays: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Pacific View mall parking lot facing Main Street, Ventura (529-6266).
Thursdays: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Plaza Park at Fifth and C streets, Oxnard (483-7960). 1:30 to 6:30 p.m., The Oaks shopping center, at Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Wilbur Road, Thousand Oaks (529-6266).
Fridays: 3 to 8 p.m., Simi Valley Town Center, 1555 Simi Town Center Way, in the parking lot parking lot near Limon Grill, Simi Valley (643-6458).
Saturdays: 8 a.m. to noon, 2220 Ventura Blvd., Camarillo (482-1507). 8 to 11 a.m., fish market behind Andria's Seafood Restaurant, 1449 Spinnaker Drive, Ventura (644-0169). 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., 2665 W. Hillcrest Drive, Newbury Park (323-272-9171). 8:30 a.m. to noon, Palm and Santa Clara streets, Ventura (529-6266). 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Oak Park Plaza, 706 Lindero Canyon Road, Oak Park (643-6458).

Plans have been submitted to improve a retail area in part of Malton's Livestock Market.
The King's Head Yard, located to the rear of the town's historic King's Head pub, is to become an important link between the Market Place and the retail redevelopment of the livestock market site.
At the same time, it will create new retail space which will extend Sarah Clark's interiors shop "9 to 11" in the Market Place.
The improvements are dependent on earning planning permission.
Roddy Bushell, estate manager of Fitzwilliam Malton Estate, which owns the site, said: "This is part of the work we are doing to move from 'outline' to full 'detailed' planning consent for the retail redevelopment of the Livestock Market Site.
"King's Head Yard will become a superb link between a new food hall store planned for the Livestock Market Site and the existing retailers in Malton's Market Place. The King's Head Yard has to be done first because if it's left until later, the builders might have to tramp through Waitrose or Booths to build it!"

After having some time to digest (INDIGESTION) the recent melo drama, I am really confused as to the tactics used by the Nets.
If, as reported, the Nets felt that they could "wear down" the Knicks by making them offer so much that the Knicks would walk away, clearly 2 things were not in place: 1. The Knicks desire for Melo was underestimated. 2. The Nuggets were not working in concert with the Nets.
Basically, the way I see this, the Nets basically said, "The Nuggets like our offer better so what we are going to do, we're going to make the Knicks make an offer that is close enough to ours that Denver would have to consider it...Huh? WHAT???
If the Nuggets truly were working with the Nets to get the Knicks out of the picture, why would they "push the envelope" by asking for Mosgov. Are you kidding me? Mosgov? The Knicks would have been ROASTED for not adding him to this trade. What should have been done is they should have demanded Fields and 1 more pick if they were truly working together with the Nets. That would have left the Knicks with little time and few assets to get another pick. Clearly, the Nets fell asleep on this one and were not paying attention to the Nuggets using them in such a blatent manner.
Yes, I'm working with hindsight but then again, I didnt have the insight that the Nets SHOULD have. Having seen what transpired, I think the correct thing would have been for Proky to tell the Nuggets that we are out. If you want us back in, you need to deliver Melo, with pen, telling us he will sign the extension. Then we will hammer out the details of the trade...Until then, dont call us... Then the Nets should have said, you have until Monday morning 10am Est to complete this or we are done....During that time, the Nets should have been working through other trades ready to go.
I didnt want to believe we were played so hard. Its embarrassing what happened here. We not only lost the Melo deal (which quite frankly, outside of him going to the Knicks, I really dont care much for him being a Net) but we devalued our own assets. Its truly unreal what just went down.
I say, screw trading Harris, whether he wants to be here or not, for pennies on the dollar. If you want to rape us, then no deals get done and we go with what we have. Lets not make this any worse than we have already made things...

CATEGORIES Comedy, Independent, Casting, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalLies are really popular lately. Forget about the white variety. I'm talking about the big, whopping vortex of lies that can, in no way, lead to anything good. We've already got Lindsay Lohan experiencing fake Labor Pains in order to keep from getting fired by her jerky boss. Now, we've got cancer lies.
The Hollywood Reporter posts that Dan Byrd, Emily VanCamp, and Adam Goldberg are going to star in a new indie comedy called Norman. The coming-of-age story, directed by Jonathan Segal (The Last Run), focuses on the title character (Bird). He's "a darkly comic teen who deals with his problems by pretending to be dying of cancer. The lie complicates relationships between him and his new high school girlfriend (VanCamp) and between him and his teacher (Goldberg)." Gee, ya think? It's funny that girls don't want their boyfriends to succumb to cancer.
One would assume that a quick call home would dispel such rumors and get Norman a good case of the grounding, but I guess he's able to wiggle this rumor around his parental figures. The project is currently shooting in Spokane.

News: UPDATE: Lil Wayne's "Rebirth" Summer Release Date Disputed
Thursday, Jan 7, 2010 6:03PM
After initial reports of Lil Wayne's Rebirth being pushed to summer 2010, the rapper's record company has said the rock project will be released as scheduled.
According to Universal Motown, Rebirth will be released next month.
Lil Wayne's Rebirth has seen constant delays over the past year, but for once, the album is not being pushed back. Contrary to reports that it had been moved to June, the rapper's oft-delayed foray into rock is still scheduled for release on February 2, Universal Motown confirms to Rap-Up.com. Exactly one week later on February 9, Wayne is likely to be sentenced and report to prison for almost a year on gun charges. (Rap-Up)
Reports earlier this week showed the album coming out in June.
Amazon accidentally shipped a small number of Lil Wayne pre-orders, and now, the Rebirth album is nowhere to be found on the site. The pre-order is also unavailable on the iTunes Store, though the first-run version is totally available through unauthorized online channels. Meanwhile, Walmart is listing the release date as June 22nd. The earlier consensus was that Rebirth would finally emerge during the first quarter. (Digital Music News)
The album was also believed to be coming out sometime in the first quarter of 2010.
Neither the crew album nor the experimental passion project has a proud commercial legacy in hip-hop. But for Rebirth, at least, Lil Wayne's label had sizable expectations. According to Billboard, around one million copies were printed, one-third of which were distributed to retailers. (Lil Wayne's last album, Tha Carter III, has been certified triple platinum, meaning three million copies were shipped.) For 500 or so fans, the physical CD of the original Rebirth is a collectible. For the untold thousands who downloaded the album's songs free, they're just grist for the mill, placeholders until something else comes along, preferably better. According to a representative for Universal Motown Records, a new version of Rebirth is now slated to be released in the first quarter of 2010. (New York Times)
Despite the project initially being pushed to February, early copies were released late last year.
About 500 Amazon customers who pre-ordered the album are enjoying the record already, thanks to a shipping mishap. According to sources and an e-mail to Billboard from an Amazon customer, the online merchant sent copies of the album to some customers who pre-ordered "Rebirth." The album began arriving in mailboxes on Monday, Dec. 14, despite a change in the street date from Dec. 21 to February 1. Although Amazon received the word to return the Lil Wayne album, supposedly about 500 copies were sent to customers. An Amazon spokesman didn't respond to an e-mail request for a comment.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A Republican candidate for governor wants state lawmakers to be limited to eight years in office, while also cutting the size of the Senate and making it harder to override a governor's veto.
Bruce Rauner said in a statement Tuesday that the changes would make "government more responsive."
The businessman and political neophyte is circulating petitions to get the questions on the November 2014 ballot.
They would limit legislators to eight total years in office and cut the size of the Senate from 59 members to 41. The House would expand to 123, which Rauner says would make races more competitive.
Rauner also wants to change the number of votes needed to override a governor's veto to two-thirds from three-fifths. He says the governor should have a stronger role.
