Considered one of the most capable fight/bomber during the latter half of WWII, the distinctive, inverse gull-wing F4U-1 Corsair e...arned its place as one of the most feared fighters in history with an 11-to-1 kill ratio. Used extensively by both the Marines and later the Navy, the Corsair was first activated in 1943 at the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in Southern California and remained in production until 1953 ? the longest production run of any US piston engine fighter. An 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney engine producing over 2000 horsepower, coupled with a 3-bladed prop over 13 feet in diameter, propelled the Corsair to speeds in excess of 550 mph. This particular model is patterned after the #31 Navy VF-17 "Jolly Rogers" Squadron, or the "Fighting Seventeen," flown by Wilbert "Beads" Popp. The squadron was formed in Norfolk, VA in Jan. 1943 and quickly became known as a bunch of hell-raisers, with one pilot in the group running a truck off the road in an inverted low-level fly-by on a local roadway and another who engaged an Army pilot flying a P51 in a "dogfight" over a residential neighborhood in Norfolk. The squadron was eventually stationed on a land base on the Solomon Islands, where the Jolly Rogers amassed an impressive record of 156 enemy kills, the sinking of five ships and a crew that included 12 aces ? more than any other naval unit. Simply stated, it was one of the most versatile and feared aircraft in WWII and the Jolly Rogers were one of the most feared squadrons of the war and now their history is immortalized in a nearly six-foot wide .90 size EP/GP model from Kyosho. Like no other ? The new SQS 90-size Corsair is built to the highest standards, resulting in a much higher quality product than many of the cheaper look-alike models on the market. Discriminating pilots around the world know that Kyosho represents a higher level of quality and better value for the money and the Corsair is built to meet those high expectations! Read More

The dramatic era of seaplane racing at the dawn of the airplane age was symbolized in the chase for the Schneider Cup and is talke...d about even to this day. At that time seaplanes were faster than land-based aircraft and Italy's Macchi was one of the top guns. Amongst these aircraft, the M33 flying boat competed on equal terms against more advanced seaplanes with suspended floats. The historically significant M33 captured the hearts of seaplane fans and has been faithfully recreated in 1/8.5 scale with high precision FRP fuselage and balsa main wing. With the tricolor of the M39 to represent its Italian heritage, this model has been revived as a 30-class model. However, the design is compatible with both electric (EP) and gas engine (GP) power sources. While faithful to the original, this model has also been optimized to deliver stable flight performance with the unique high position of the power source. Almost fully factory assembled, only a short time is required for completion so you can enjoy the nostalgia and majestic form of this realistic recreation of the Macchi seaplane as its graces the skies once more. Required for operation (Not included) R/C System/4-channel, 4-servo + 1ESC (EP)/4-channel, 5-servo (GP) for airplanes 400-500W class Outrunner type Brushless Motor (recommended: No.70022 Plane 30 Brushless Motor S/17/11) 2-cycle 35-36 Engine 11.1V-3200-3600mAh Li-Po ESC for Brushless Motor (45A minimum) Battery charger Fuel, Starting tools D10 x P6-D11 x P7 Propeller 52mm Spinner Connector for battery 200mm Y extension cable for aileron x6(EP)/x8(GP) Specified batteries for transmitter (EP,GP) and for receiver (GP).

Longtime fans of R/C will recognize the distinctive form of the OPTIMA body straight away. But the nostalgic exterior hides the ve...ry latest in R/C design technology. The precision chassis features a shaft driven 4WD with a two-differential drive train incorporating a slipper clutch to protect gears with oil shocks on the 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, just like the original Optima 1/10 racing buggy. The result is the exceptional performance expected of a 1/10 scale R/C buggy, but concentrated into a racing machine that fits on the palm of your hand and the best off-road performance achieved in the history of the MINI-Z. With most of the precision components protected within the dirt-proof shell, the chassis has the rigidity and durability for hardcore off-road action. Based on the MINI-Z Racer, control circuit board has been tuned for off-road with a special separated design. The ICS function allows precision setting adjustment of controls including the optional gyro unit through your PC while the Chase Mode feature fires up the intensity of racing action. Also, the newly designed steering servo is equipped with 7-stage gearing. High torque and precision control combine to produce the MINI-Z's characteristic steering feel and linear control. As the famous Optima body is pre-painted and is packaged as a Readyset, just purchase and set batteries into this legendary racing buggy and watch the latest MINI-Z technology tear up any dirt track. Required for operation AAA - sized batteries x8. Read More
Developed in close collaboration with Italy's leading racing kart manufacturer, this 1/5 scale R/C model accurately reproduces the... design and performance of BIREL's original high-performance R31-SE. With the direct steering control of a true racing kart, this machine offers a fascinating driving experience, completely different to standard R/C cars. The distinctive feel has the effect of improving your driving technique and racing intuition, making it an ideal introduction to any form of motor sports. With a design that replicates the control characteristics of a real racing kart, the layout features a powerful yet user-friendly GZ15 engine mounted beside the driver, just like a full-size kart. Precision mass balance also contributes to the lower center of gravity to deliver the high-performance of a true racing kart. The suspension less front section features precision trail and scrub parameters that work in combination with the T-bar rear suspension for sharp maneuverability while the lightweight design delivers dynamic acceleration.

Kyosho captures the fascinating world of the motorbike racing in the palm of your hand with the stunning realism of the new MOTO R...acer. MINI-Z quality and engineering guarantee performance that will leave onlookers speechless as the driver appears to control the bike with stability through straight lines and deep banking turns. Incorporating the same theoretical driving control as a real motorcycle, the steering control logic and the driving control system allows the model to be maneuvered freely like no R/C racing bike ever before. Amazing two-wheeled vehicle stability has been achieved with the advanced E-gyro System featuring an in-wheel rotator from a brushless motor built into the rear wheel. Powerful motor drive delivers efficient gyro effect to realize driving stability. Regardless of speed, the E-gyro allows stable straight line running and cornering. In addition, separate RPM settings for low speed and high speed can be made on the E-gyro to favor greater stability or greater maneuverability. For example, the E-gyro's RPM can be set at high RPM for greater stability for driving at slow speeds, or the RPM can be reduced for easier banking turns at higher speeds. The E-gyro can be set to suit your skill level or however you prefer. This combines with the suspension systems on front and rear to deliver super smooth handling. The model is fully pre-assembled and the Readyset includes Li-Po battery and charger. Simply add your own batteries to the transmitter and charge the included Li-Po battery to experience the thrill of driving your own racing motorbike. ReadySet Contents Factory assembled chassis with R/C unit installed (pairing with transmitter is complete) Pre-painted factory assembled plastic body finished with markings KT-19 transmitter USB powered charger 3.7V-120mA Li-Po battery Tweezers Display rear stand Hexagonal wrench Required for Operation AAA size alkaline batteries x 4 for transmitter.

Super Bowl media day is underway, which means well-known and not so well-known media types are asking Broncos and Seahawks players every question under the sun. The early leader for worst question:
Some guy at media day just asked Shaun Phillips if he considers this a must-win game. Check, please.
— Sam Farmer (@LATimesfarmer) January 28, 2014
At least when some random entertainment personality asks an idiotic question, you kind of know what to expect with it. This is just a dumb question.
I was able to attend last year's Media Day in New Orleans. Rather than try and cram in with the media at the big name players and coaches, I went for a little more under the radar. I did not have a lot of specific goals for Media Day, but one was that I had to get some time with Jim Tomsula.
I know we don't want to think about Sunday's Super Bowl, but this interview was sufficiently that it was worth re-posting. We talked about Justin Smith (then dealing with his triceps injury), and more importantly, he addressed the issue of his exposed chest hair. Enjoy!

Set top boxes have been a ubiquitous part of TV viewing since the first days of pay cable television. High Definition, DVRs and video on demand have made it common place to have multiple STBs. Most STBs are made by either Motorola or Scientific Atlanta. Those 2 companies provide the set top boxes for virtually every cable company in the country. STB glitches and shortages have been a major problem for pay TV carriers. Well, now some of the biggest cable companies, including Comcast, Cox, Time Warner, and Cablevision, are trying to lose the STB all together. Sony has signed a deal with these and other cable companies to establish a standard for STB functionality, including DVR, Interactive Programming Guides, and PPV, to be built right into your TV. Other TV manufactures have been invited to join the agreement as well.
If this is successful it will be a major boon to the cable companies that now spend billions on STBs and a major blow to Motorola and Scientific Atlanta.

You can't help but stare at this route as you approach the Middle Rabbit Ear from Rabbit Ears Canyon. The route follows a nearly direct ascent of the North Side of the West face, folloiwng a path of least resistance up corners, face climbing and slab.
As you go up Rabbit Ears Canyon, eventually there will be a lesser-gully that branches off to the left directly up towards the North and Middle Rabbit ears. Follow an indistinct trail in this gully and next to it on its south side. It leads roughly to the base of the West Face of the Middle Rabbit Ear.

A Lesson from
Kosovars & Palestinians for Atlasians
Now tell me, what would you do in the age of nationalism--which came
relatively late to the Middle East--if your national group already had
almost two dozen states on over six million square miles of territory
(conquered mostly from other national groups), wanted to create
at least one more, but another people's sole, tiny, resurrected nation
state stood in the way?
Well, please take a look--like many of us have over the decades--at the
answer through the oft-quoted words of a spokesman for that above
national group itself, PLO executive committee member Zuheir Mohsen, on
March 31, 1977, in the Dutch newspaper Trouw.
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian
state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of
Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference
between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese... Only for
political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of
a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit
the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism...
Before having to deal with the politics and sensitivities of at least
some in the West, Arabs simply gave no thought to Mohsen's tactics.
As I deliberately like to reemphasize time and again (for those who like
to place Israel under the high power lens of moral scrutiny while
playing deaf, dumb, and blind to what surrounds it), millions of native
peoples were simply conquered and forcibly Arabized in the name of the
Arab Nation and the spread of its Dar ul-Islam--imperialism and
colonialism, pure and simple--and millions of native Egyptian Copts,
black Africans, Kurds, Imazighen (Berbers), Jews, and others are still
suffering the consequences of this murderous subjugation.
In a post-Holocaust age, however, in the struggle to win over hearts and
minds from abroad, how could Arabs demand twenty-two states while
denying Jews their one?
The answer--as Mohsen so correctly stated above: Reinvent yourselves.
From now on, you're "Palestinians." And then depend on the ignorance of
most of the rest of the world to back your claim, "If Jews can have a
state, why not Palestinians?" And, don't you know, "Palestinians" are
the new formerly stateless Jews.
Forget the facts…
Like most Arabs never saw the land of the Jews--Judaea--until
their own murderous imperial conquests brought them out of the Arabian
Peninsula in the 7th century C.E. when they spread out in all
Or that the very name "Palestine" was dubbed upon Judaea by the Roman
Emperor Hadrian after the Jews' costly second revolt for freedom.
To pour salt onto their wound, he renamed the Jews' land after their
historic enemies, the Philistines--a non-Semitic sea people (i.e.
not Arab) from the area around Crete. Tacitus, Dio Cassius, and other
contemporary Roman historians wrote all about Judaea and Judaeans--not
"Palestine" or "Palestinians." Listen to one of my favorite telling
quotes about the Jews' first revolt in Vol. II, Book V, The
Works of Tacitus:
Vespasian... succeeded to the command.... it inflamed his resentment
that the Jews were the only nation that had not yet submitted…Titus was
appointed by his father to complete the subjugation of Judaea... he
commanded three legions in Judaea itself... To these he added the
twelfth from Syria and the third and twenty-second from Alexandria...
amongst his allies were a band of Arabs, formidable in themselves and
harboring towards the Jews the bitter animosity usually subsisting
between neighboring nations.
Or that, not having endured the forced exile and diaspora of many (but
not all--many still remained in the hill country and elsewhere clear up
to the Arab conquest) of the Jews, still...so many Arabs were newcomers
themselves to the Mandate of Palestine after World War I and the breakup
of the Ottoman Turkish Empire which had controlled the land for over
four centuries, that when the United Nations Relief Works
Agency--UNRWA--was set up to assist Arab refugees (after a half dozen
Arab states invaded a nascent Israel in 1948 to nip it in the bud and
their attempt backfired), the very word "refugee" had to be redefined
from its prior meaning of persons normally and traditionally resident
to those who lived in the Mandate for a minimum of only two years
prior to 1948 to assist these people. Hamas's own patron saint, for whom
its terror brigade and rockets are named for, Sheikh Izzadin-al-Qassam,
was born in Latakia, Syria. Arafat was from Egypt. And both "native
Palestinians" had plenty of company, pouring into the Mandate because of
the economic development going on due to the Jews.
And so forth.
Now, using this same tactic, Serbs have been similarly shafted .
Albania is an independent nation southwest of the former Yugoslavia. The
Serbs fought their first major battle for Kosovo against the spread of
the Dar ul-Islam (this time led by Turkish imperialism) in 1389--over
six centuries ago.
Albania had become at least nominally converted to Islam via the Ottoman
conquest. Over the centuries, ethnic Albanians encroached upon
traditionally Serbian lands.
Enter the late 20th century...
Everyone knew that with the death of Tito, Iraq's twin, artificially
glued together state of Yugoslavia would fall apart.
Now, if you're an Albanian in Serbia and you already have
an ethnic Albanian state in existence (so you can't claim
"statelessness"), how do you stake your claim for additional
territory--at another people's (Serbs') expense?
Hitler played a somewhat similar game with the large population of
ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. World War II soon
followed, as his sights were set far beyond the Czechs' and Slovaks'
According to this reasoning, America also better watch its own southwest
very carefully--especially since it really was once part of Mexico
anyway. And what's Russia up to these days, since we're on this subject?
Think non-Russian peoples' lands, with Russian ethnic minorities, and
how this game could be played out.
The answer, however, regarding Albanians in Serbia is…You follow
Zuheir Mohsen's advice.
But instead of renaming yourselves "Palestinians," you, of course, call
yourselves Kosovars instead. And then get assorted Jihadis from
the rest of the Arab/Muslim World to assist you--along with America and
There is no doubt that too much of the conflict regarding the breakup of
Yugoslavia was deliberately biased against the Serbs.
Atrocities occurred (as they had for centuries)--but on both sides, with
Serbs often the victims…victims the American State Department ignored as
it sought Muslims it could point to as championing while America was
fighting others in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. American bombers
led the final dismemberment.
There's a lesson here…and Jews, Kurds, Imazighen, and others need to pay
close attention.
Instead of demanding just the rebirth of their one state, Jews need to
demand others as well.
Jews have a long history in Morocco, as just one example--long before
Arabs conquered both Jews and Imazighen alike there.
Over 600,000 Moroccan Jews now live in Israel--part of the other side
of the Middle East refugee problem few ever talk about...more
Moroccan Jews than Arabs who got their own nation states in Kuwait, Abu
Dhabi, etc. when they were created. Additionally, many more Moroccan
Jews live in America, France, and elsewhere today, including Morocco.
Why multiple states for Arabs and not Jews?
As early as Roman times, Jews fleeing the Roman wars in Judaea began to
travel inland in North Africa and forged both economic and cultural ties
with the Imazighen--especially in the Atlas Mountains. Some of the
latter folks even adopted the faith of their Jewish neighbors.
When Arab Muslims invaded, Jews and Imazighen fought them together.
Across the Atlas Mountains, Queen Dahlia al Kahina (whom the famed
Muslim scholar, Ibn Khaldun, called "the Jewess" ) led both Jews and
Imazighen in battle against invading Arabs, who would later massacre and
subjugate both peoples.
Why not states for the Atlasians--at least one for Jews and one
for the Imazighen--in North Africa?
Why "Palestinians" and "Kosovars," but not "Atlasians?"
While we're at it, some thirty-five million stateless Kurds need to jump
aboard as well.
Kurds predate Arabs in "Arab" Syria as well as in "Arab" Iraq…and in
"Turkish" Turkey. But we all know what happened/happens when Kurds try
to assert their rights there. Their best hope right now is in the place
where they were indeed promised independence after World War I--in
northern Mesopotamia, part of today's renamed Iraq.
While I don't really expect that much of the above will happen, it's
worth asking those academics, State Department folks, left-wing
know-nothings, and other hypocritical practitioners of the double
standard… Why not?
If Kurds played the Arab game regarding trading "Arab" for
"Palestinian," how many Kurdish states might they be entitled to?
The reality, of course, is that all of these peoples are still
struggling to maintain or obtain basic political and human rights in
what Arabs call "purely Arab patrimony."

|Sensitivity of Oregon Watersheds to Streamflow Changes Due to Climate Warming: A Geohydrological Approach
Safeeq, M.
Grant, G.
Tague, C.
|Other Date
|24-May-2011 (iso8601)
|Presented at The Oregon Water Conference, May 24-25, 2011, Corvallis, OR.
|A key challenge for resource and landscape managers is to predict the consequences of climate warming on streamflows and water resources. Different approaches are being developed to forecast the direction, magnitude, and timing of future streamflow changes in specific landscapes. One approach that is being utilized in the Pacific Northwest involves coupling downscaled climate predictions to macroscale hydrologic models, such as the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model. VIC is typically parameterized and calibrated in selected watersheds, and then applied to a regional scale that includes larger population of uncalibrated watersheds.
Summer streamflows are sensitive to both changes in the timing of snowpack accumulation and melt, and intrinsic, geologically-mediated differences in the efficiency of landscapes in transforming recharge (either as rain or snow) into discharge. Here we explore the importance of this effect by using geologically focused "bottom-up" approach to empirically characterize the sensitivity of late-summer streamflows to climate warming for a range of basins across Oregon. We define sensitivity as the slope of the relation between annual precipitation and summer streamflow, characterized as 7-day low flow and total summer flow. Drainage efficiency was defined in terms of the: 1) rate of recession (K) of the streamflow hydrograph; and 2) ratio of base flow to total flow (Base Flow Index or BFI). We compare our sensitivity results with those derived from VIC simulated streamflow.
Using the bottom-up approach, we found that the both K and BFI are good predictors for streamflow sensitivity to climate change. Fast-draining basins (high K / low BFI) are much less sensitive to changes in annual precipitation, whereas slow-draining basins (low K / high BFI) are much more sensitive. For basins where VIC was calibrated, downscaled VIC simulations are similar to empirical data. Uncalibrated basins, however, do not show a clear relationship with drainage efficiency, meaning that VIC may under predict sensitivity of summer stramflows to climate change in uncalibrated groundwater-dominated watersheds. This implies that spatial heterogeneity in aquifer properties must be explicitly incorporated into parameterization and calibration schemes if the full range of hydrologic response to warming is to be captured across the landscape.

TheJoe says: THE GUILD IS THE BEST GODDAMN GAME EVER MADE. ALL GOGERS ARE OBLIGATED TO PLAY THE GUILD FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS PER WEEK. ALL MUST PLAY THE GUILD TO BE CONSIDERED TRUE GOGERS.
TheJoe says: This isn't the best game in the world but I had to add something else to be able to save the GOGmix. BASS is still very, very good though and you should get it. It's free. So there's no reason not to.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

The Gee Spot 11.02.2011
I'm really excited at the moment; I'm getting loads of sex. I know sex for the most part is not all that fulfilling, but as I've gotten older and put on weight I've felt a bit shit about myself, but finally I've come to terms with it. With that has come confidence and with confidence comes attraction – from other people. I'm getting so many offers for sex that I seem to be busy all the time.
Tonight I'm going to Expectations near Old Street and buying myself a rubber surf suit. I'm taking along tonight's date, then going for drinks and finally back to mine to get rubbered up and fuck like rabbits (or seals). Then tomorrow an old friend of mine from Leeds is coming over for a day/night session. He's a really hot black guy with the fattest cock I've ever tried to swallow. He reminds me a lot of Tank from Real Urban Men (pictured above). He's in the forthcoming title Hardcore in Harlem (Tank that is) out next month and he's also the star of last month's release Keep it Real which is also available online at prowler.tv
Also out this week in the world of porn is Banged up Hard, the amazing new title from UKNakedMen. It's full of hot sex and rough men and boys including the big-dicked Matt Hughes. Seeing that thing banging into anyone is enough to make my eyes water, let alone the poor bottom boy. I don't think I could take an 11-inch cock… hmmm!
I love fucking in rubber; the feel, the smell, the look – all very sensual and stimulating as well as feeling really naughty and fucking hot. Toys seem to come into play more as well when you're in rubber. There's an 11-incher on prowler's website so you can find out how Matt Hughes would feel inside you… but for me I think I'll stick to my Rude-Boy – it's more fitting somehow!
For all you rubber guys out there and all you perverted skinheads, Recon.com are holding a Skins & Rubber party in Islington next Friday. Seeing as I'll have my shiny new rubber suit, I may have to make an appearance. I love the Recon parties, they're always loads of fun and I'm really excited about seeing this new venue right behind Angel Tube.
On a more somber note, my Dad had a heart attack today. He's going to be ok but he's only 52 and it's given me a real fright. It also made me realise that life really is short and every day should count. So get out there and enjoy yourself - life is for living!

Pioneer Pet Stainless Steel Raindrop Design Big Max Drinking Fountain Features and Benefits:
SmartCat had its beginnings twenty years ago when Betsy Lipscomb, the founder and president of Cats International, gathered old wooden fence posts from her farm in Wisconsin and gave them to cat owners to use for scratching posts. The posts were very popular and over the years were improved with the addition of sisal rope and a sturdy base. After several years of volunteering for a local humane society and caring for hundreds of cats, Betsy realized that the popular practice of declawing (partial digital amputation) was detrimental to cats, both physically and psychologically. In many cases declawing resulted in more serious behavior problems such as inappropriate elimination and biting problems. SmartCat products offer a natural alternative to this cruel practice.

Seven members of the this school year's Zionsville girls soccer team were honored at a signing ceremony at the school Thursday afternoon.
Six of the girls -- Madilyn Mann (St. Louis), Katherine Ratz (Illinois), Catherine Schmidt (IUPUI), Abby Shroyer (Hanover), Hannah Timbrook (Marian), and Caroline Wagner (DePauw) -- were present at the ceremony, while the seventh, Katy Keen graduated high school in December and is already attending Penn State.
"It means a lot to our program, just to see it continue to grow," Zionsville head coach Ramon Aguillon said. "Every year we have more and more quality players come through our program and for us to have seven sign -- that is a pretty remarkable number."
Aguillon said that as far as he knew, seven was the largest number of seniors to sign on to play in college.
He said he looked through previous years and could never find more than "three or four."
Aguillon said it was nice to see the girls get rewarded for their hard work.
"It is great for me to see as a coach," he said. "They have put in so much time on the field, away from their families, putting in effort, getting in shape and getting better technically. To see that all pay off, it is great to see them get the chance to play at the next level. It is a great reward for them."
In the four years that this year's seniors were at the school, the Lady Eagles were 45-19-15.

09/21/2011: "The Students' Greenhouse Has Arrived!"
(Contributed photo)
Having received a Gates Grant Foundation of $8,000, and the blessing of officials, the Greenhouse Group (GG) -three high school students on San Juan Island- are ready to erect a greenhouse on County property.
And in the spirit of all community projects, they have put out a call for a few volunteers.
The greenhouse group is a group of three, (photo left: Cody Pierce, Ryan Cole, and Parker Satin), three boys from Jenny Wilson's Community Projects class at the high school, who applied for a grant for a greenhouse project across from the high school/middle school where Slow Food Land & Sea currently has a community garden.
The students have come a long way since last semester, having tackled many things that they never thought "just high schoolers" would be able to do after they picked up and ran with a project that was initially started about 3 years ago by a Community Service project student Aaron Kendzoriak.
Kendzoriak's project came to a halt when an appropriate site was unavailable, but he laid the groundwork for the success of the current project.
Helping the GG boys along the way was Scott Fitzstephens of Land & Sea, Slow Food's Friday Harbor chapter, who mentored them through the grant stage of the project -Scotts work on that part of the project was made possible by a grant from a generous local Friday Harbor couple. And Marion Melville generously donated a great deal of time to help the boys navigate through the next parts of the undertaking.
The County Council approved the proposal , the Town of Friday Harbor issued a building permit, and then their final big presentation was in front of the Historic Preservation committee.
Now the talking and presenting is over, and the work begins. In line with the idea of a community project, the GG lads will be joined by Steven Kelly and Julian Perren, two of Jenny's 2011-2012 class, to begin the job of prepping the site and assembling the greenhouse.
No one should be surprised to learn they have Facebook page where volunteers -that would be you, you and you- can sign up on the Community Project Greenhouse Page to help the boys complete the project.
One little problem: they "would like to say to those who volunteered previously at the Community Presentation we sincerely apologize, but unfortunately through all the work, commotion and hassle, we have misplaced that list. We so deeply apologize once again for the mistake. We would appreciate if you would sign up again if you are willing."
Somehow we suspect the boys will soon have all the help they need.

November 9, 2004Americus-- A South Georgia Hospital unrolls a major media campaign with the community in mind.
There was lots of fanfare as Sumter Regional Hospital's CEO, David Seagraves, announced the "Just Like You" campaign.
With several hundred employees present, Seagraves said the hospital will introduce many of these people to the community using radio, T.V., and newspaper spots.
Although the campaign is temporary, the message is not. Seagraves says, "We will always be focused on the community and we want to make sure people understand that."
Seagraves says the hospital needed to refocus their efforts on the community and Tuesday's announcement lets people know they are committing themselves to excellence in community service.

September 15, 2011, 10:14 AM — Data center expenditures take up more than one-quarter of overall IT budgets, according to a new study released by IDG Enterprise. The market research firm (and ITworld's parent company) released the results this week from its 2011 Data Center Survey, which was completed by more than 1,700 IT and security decision makers across a range of industries.
Specifically, the survey found that 28 percent of overall IT budgets are spent on data centers. While that percentage isn't expected to grow or decrease in the next two years, overall data center investments are on the rise, the study found.
I am not surprised that data centers comprise such a chunk of any organization's IT budget. Sixty-seven percent of respondents said data centers are increasingly becoming a significant IT priority. Whenever a technology or IT process becomes a priority, that's reflected in the budget. And it is a good thing data centers have become a priority. Data centers are the nexus of any organization's IT environment; they house the critical infrastructure, data and applications that serve almost all business processes.
Perhaps what I found most refreshing is that, when asked about top concerns over the next 12 months, IT execs gave data center security top billing. You all might recall that I just wrote a blog (you can read it here), in which former VP and CIO Joe Puglisi expressed concern about whether data center security was being pushed to the back burner in light of economic woes. In fact, 36 percent said security was their top concern. Storage concerns came in second (makes sense considering our ongoing data explosion) at 28 percent, and risk management came third at 24 percent (and of course, risk management is closely related to security). Twenty-three percent identified operational costs, as mentioned above, and 22 percent identified availability as a top concern.
In another nod to security, a whopping 83 percent said the ability to meet security requirements topped the list of important factors when evaluating data center technology vendors. Eighty-three percent also chose support and service, while 80 percent picked integration to existing infrastructure.
But today's data centers have also become cost centers. They can be very expensive to build, maintain, and manage. In today's pressurized economy – with no room for extravagance – IT executives are looking for ways to save. In fact, nearly a quarter, or 23 percent, said that operational costs of their data centers were too high.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A new study shows that not only are kids drinking alcohol but hard liquor is the most common alcoholic drink consumed by high school students in Georgia.
But where are teenagers getting it you may ask? According to U.S health officials most students get the alcohol from someone else who bought it and they then drank it at another person's home.
Of the 38 percent of students polled who were current drinkers the liquor choices were bourbon, scotch, rum, vodka and whiskey.
Local liquor stores say they go to great lengths to make sure they don't sell to underage drinkers.
"Generally on Friday and Saturday night our security will card the people at the door and if they look underage they cannot come in..if they don't have an identification no matter how old they look they cant come in," said Rusty McDaniel, Lighthouse Liquors.
Researchers analyzed data from over 2,000 ninth- to twelfth-grade students in Georgia.

USC's Reggie Wyatt (Riverside La Sierra) won the 400 intermediate hurdle title in the Pac-12 Championship meet hosted by the Trojans last weekend, posting a stadium-record and personal-best time of 49.17 seconds — also, to that point, the best collegiate time of the season.
"This is my last Pac-12 Championships, it's here at home, and I wanted to come out with a W and leave it all on the track," Wyatt told USC's athletic website. "It feels great. … I did really well finishing strong this race."
Wyatt became the first USC athlete to win the event since 2003. He also was eighth in the 400 in 48.27.

As if it needed to be said...clearly mascots and alcohol do not mix. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay Rays mascot Raymond was assaulted during the team's game against the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night. The assaliant...some dude named Trevor Martin who hails from suburban Boston. Martin, 27, reached across the stadium's railing and twice grabbed Raymond by the neck, officers said. Martin was staggering, slurring his words and smelled of alcohol, according to an arrest affidavit. Raymond pushed back and broke free, police said. Martin, who told officers he drank two beers during the game, faces a misdemeanor charge of disorderly intoxication. The "victim within the mascot suit" declined to press battery charges, police said. Martin was released from Pinellas County Jail early Wednesday on $100 bail. Yes. Two beers. Suuuuure. But who knows...maybe Martin is a big Steve Irwin fan and just looking for retaliation.

Thomas Dimitroff: Julio Jones has no "bust" potential
And neither does anyone else in the Falcon Organization apparently. "We weren't looking at it thinking about risks; we weren't making a decision like this with Julio with the concern that this player would bust," Dimitroff said. "That was not even part of discussion, and everyone was part of this decision. Nobody in our organization feared bust or even mediocrity with Julio. It was never a concern. If there was a concern, it was more in line with, 'OK, how do we approach this? How do we get our heads around a two this year and, most importantly, the one next year.'

Justin Bieber is a Tila Tequila Fan?
Uh, that creeps me out
Did you ever imagine that Tila Tequila was Justin Bieber's type? Well, he might not necessarily have a crush on her, but he did comment on her YouTube videos a few years back. And now Tila's showing some interest in Justin. I wonder how Selena Gomez feels about that.
Read: At Least Tila Tequila is Sober Now
Of course, we all know that Justin Bieber got his start on YouTube. But he wasn't just posting videos on the website; he was scouting out other videos and commenting on them, too. RadarOnline.com amazingly managed to dig up some comments Justin left... On Til Tequila's videos!
It was four years ago that Justin commented on the video for Tila Tequila's "I Love You,"um.. this should be rated R lol." How funny is that? At the time, Bieber was only 13 years old and was commenting under the name "kidrauhl"
He points his age out in another comment he wrote on Tila's video, saying, "I'm only 13 but I sing in my videos. Check them out and let me know what you think :P Justin." Do you think Justin was hoping Tila Tequila would head over to his channel to watch his videos? Or did he think Tila's fans would be the types to like his music, too?.
I also have to wonder how much Justin Bieber commented on the videos of other stars. Did Usher just magically discover Justin or was Justin working hard to be discovered? In any event, it looks like Bieber knew how to network even at the young age of 13.
Read: I Like Justin Bieber Dating Selena Gomez More Than Tila Tequila
So, do you think Justin Bieber actually had a crush on Tila Tequila or just wanted to try to find fame through her? Tila is a fan of his and claims, "He is absolutely adorable... I can now see why so many girls have fallen head over heels in love with him... Justin, if you're reading this: I want to pinch your cute little cheeks! You're doing great out there kiddo... don't let anyone bring you down!" That's kind of sweet and inspirational, right?
Well, Tila has some ulterior motives, too. And they're not going to make Justin Bieber fans happy. She says, "Maybe one day he and I can do a collaboration on a song together or work on a movie together... As soon as he turns 18 I'm going to ask him out!"
Eeek! Please, Justin, stay with Selena Gomez and far away from Tila Tequila!


text: According to the Pens official website, Letang has been extended for 4 years. There don't appear to be any financial terms available yet. Assuming that it isn't for some absurd amount of money, this seems like a great signing.....he is still young for a defenseman playing in the NHL and shows quite a bit of upside still (despite his issues with hitting the net). I would imagine that this likely spells the end of Gonchar when the season finishes, but that was pretty much expected already.

What A Difference A Decade Makes, Or Does It?
Will you walk with me down memory lane at least back to 1999 to see how my floor will look in 2010 compared to 2009?
Today, as I was I looked through my purchase orders from late 1999, not one was for outdoor carpets. The outdoor lighting I ordered was limited to just one company that made lamps out of PVC pipe, usually in white, with one large globe, several smaller globes, or a Sunbrella© lamp shade. The only wall art we ordered were terracotta clocks and thermometers. Outdoor drapes didn't exist then and none of my sales staff knew the difference between a throw and a kidney pillow. In other words, the outdoor room concept hadn't hit.
Another thing I noticed was while we did do a few conversation groups that included either a glider or settee, two motion chairs, and two end tables, most of my orders were for dining groups. That has changed for 2010 with dining taking a back seat to conversation groups that include everything from four comfortable motion chairs along with a cocktail table to multifunctional sectionals.
In 2000 our floor was a "sea of green." If a frame wasn't verde, it was multi-step Pompeii Green (we called it Verdi Gris). Either way, it ended up looking green from one end of the store to the other. Of course, we carried some sets in black and even had a few sets in white or beige. In 2010, the floor will look more brown or walnut with a lot of faux wood. Again, I think we can chalk that up to customers wanting to bring the inside out.
We had a lot more strapped furniture then: Magnolia and Laredo from Winston, Ravenna from Carter Grandle, and Ramsgate from Woodard. For some reason, we did do a lot more cushioned dining that we do now. But, we did very little in the way of cushioned deep-seated pieces. For 2010, much of our floor is covered in sectionals and sofa/settee groups with thick, comfy cushions. I think these changes reflect are because at the beginning of the century, our customer base lived in older homes that didn't have covered patios. In 2010, many of our clients will be buying furniture for new or newer homes built in the burbs with amenities like large covered patios along with fully exposed decks.
Since we serve New Orleans where all of our architecture is influenced by the wrought and cast iron balconies in the French Quarter, wrought iron has always been important to us. In 2000, our main wrought iron suppliers were Woodard and O. W. Lee. We bought across Woodard's wrought iron line, carrying dining and bench/glider groups in at least four or five different designs. We used O. W. Lee as our high-end wrought iron and only bought one design, Old World. However, we bought the entire line including dining, deep seating, bars, and bench groups.
While wrought iron is still important as we go into the next decade, we are only buying Woodard's Windflower and Aurora designs. We use Windflower as our entry level and Aurora for our contract business. We have expanded what we buy from O. W. Lee. Old World was been replaced, first with Classico, and, this year, with Classic. And, we aren't carrying dining in that design, just deep seating. We have expanded our upper end mesh wrought iron category with O. W. Lee to carry Avalon in dining and deep seating. We are also experimenting with some of their new cast aluminum groups.
As I said, wrought iron is very important to us. In 2000 we carried Homecrest's Excalibur and Florida, both of which looked like mesh wrought iron but were done in aluminum. It was more expensive than wrought iron, but the fact that it was aluminum made it a good seller. With the changes that Homecrest went through, we stopped carrying them. We have no substitute for that category.
If our customers didn't buy wrought iron in 2000, then they bought cast aluminum. Our high end was Woodard's Athena and Heritage. We did this mostly in dining with glass top tables. In 2010, I think there are only two glass top tables in showroom. One is for a price point and the other is for looks. We also carried a lot of Cast Classics as our introductory cast aluminum. That year we were bringing in a Cast Classic container every two months or so. Each container was made up of about 50% stock and 50% customer orders. For 2010, we aren't carrying any of Woodard's aluminum; depending instead on Cast Classics. Until this year, we carried five or six Cast Classic traditional designs in dining with cast seats rather than cushions. We also carried bench groups with swivel chairs and end tables. For 2010, about half of our first container will still be devoted to that. The other half will be in their new value line of deep seating sofa or loveseat groups.
In 2000, we were transitioning from Winston to Carter Grandle as our meat and potatoes aluminum line. At that time, Winston was selling to Home Depot Expo. Although we didn't have an Expo here, I was afraid we might get one and didn't want to have to compete with them. That's why we were trying Carter Grandle. Carter Grandle is gone, of course and, over time, Winston has gone from a low to medium priced line to a medium to high line (although that has changed for 2010, too). Our bread and butter aluminum line is now Suncoast.
In 2000, our Brown Jordan early buy was very big and consisted mostly of traditional designs with a smattering of contemporary. For 2010, our Brown Jordan buy is much smaller although we expect to do at least double what we did with them in 2000. It has become for us what it has been for designers for years, a special order line. Although our early buy was smaller in 2010, the number of designs we are showing has tripled. This has less to do with something I have consciously done to Brown Jordan taking the lead in figuring out an early buy model that works better for me as well as for them.
Teak has never been an important product for us. It is very hard to sell in our climate because no one wants to do the maintenance required keeping it blond. However, we do sell some. In 2000, I didn't think our clients would pay the price for quality teak; so, I was carrying a lot of shorea from Dayva's Sterling division. I did carry a little Werner Woods and Rock Wood teak. Werner stopped selling to retailers and is now operating as an OEM. As time went on, the quality of shorea dropped and became too problematic for us to handle. For 2010, the only teak we will have will be from Gloster and Rock Wood. Gloster for high end deep seated and Rock Wood for medium to high dining.
We limited our outdoor wicker to Ebel, Inc in the "good old days" of ought ought. Even so, we did several containers of their traditional looks in the medium price point, all with cushions. Today, we have expanded the number of vendors we use and the outdoor wicker we show on our floor. Ebel is our main source; but, we also carry outdoor wicker from Summer Classics, Suncoast, Brown Jordan, and Pride (their outdoor wicker is made from woven aluminum rather than resin). The price difference between our entry-level outdoor wicker and high end has widened, too.
2000 was the year of barbecues. We carried a lot of the Ducane brand for our entry level medium price point and Lynx for our high end. We even carried some outdoor prefabricated outdoor barbecue islands. I'm afraid barbecue as a category is on its last legs for us and probably many outdoor furniture specialty stores. We don't even try to carry the medium price point and more. Even if we did, Ducane has been absorbed by Weber and is available in big boxes. For our high end, we carry Fire Magic by R. H. Peterson. A great barbecue pit; but, a hard sell in these economic times. Anyway, I think the category is going to be dominated by kitchen designers and people specializing in constructing outdoor kitchens.
Finally, I noticed that almost everything I ordered in 1999 for 2000 came from factories here in the United States: Woodard's wrought iron and cast aluminum, Winston and Carter Grandle's extruded aluminum and Homecrest's aluminum "mesh wrought iron." Yes, we did have Cast Classics and Ebel, but most of our early buys were "Made in America." Can't say the same thing now and am note sure I would even want to if I could. You never would have heard me say that way back in 2000, though.
What an interesting exercise this has been for me. The changes I have seen. Customers are using the Internet in ways Al Gore never imagined when he invented it. The economy has been - - - well, shall we say very different than it was in 2000. Manufacturers who I expected to be around forever and come and gone. It seems a decade has gone by in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee; but, rather than say times have changed, I think a better description would be "times have evolved."
Yours in confused retailing, Bruce

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSFormer Mingo Commissioner To Pay $7,700 In Restitution
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 17, 2014 11:44 AM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A former Mingo County commissioner who pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge has agreed to pay $7,700 in restitution to two tire companies.
David Baisden pleaded guilty in October to trying to buy tires for his personal vehicle at a government discount in 2009, then terminating the county's contract with Appalachian Tire when it refused to cooperate.
Federal prosecutors said Baisden cost Appalachian Tire tens of thousands of dollars.
The Charleston Gazette reported the agreement reached Thursday calls for Baisden to make monthly restitution payments over three years to Appalachian Tire and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
Baisden is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 29 in federal court in Charleston.

Constitutional Law
Miss. School Hopes to Derail Lesbian's Lawsuit with Bikini Photo
Posted Dec 10, 2010 6:30 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A Mississippi school district is offering new evidence in an effort to win dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a lesbian teen who wore a tuxedo for her senior photo.
Ceara Sturgis claims the Copiah County School District illegally discriminated against her on the basis of sex and sex stereotypes when it excluded her photo from the senior section of the yearbook. Sturgis claimed she liked to wear masculine clothes and did not want to wear the required "drape" that gives the appearance of wearing a dress or a blouse, according to a press release and the lawsuit (PDF).
The school district is offering a different photo in an effort to defeat the claim—a picture of Sturgis in a bikini, the Associated Press reports. "Indeed, it is hard to conceive of an item of clothing more sexualizing and feminine than a bikini," the district said in court documents.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi is representing Sturgis along with lawyers from Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel. ACLU lawyers say the swimsuit photo shows Sturgis also wearing long shorts. It was taken at a pool party, a senior class function.
Although the yearbook did not publish the tuxedo photo in the senior section, it did run the picture on a personal page purchased by Sturgis' mother, the AP story says. The suit claims violations of Title IX and the equal protection clause.

The Government's concession for first-time buyers to avoid paying Stamp Duty when purchasing properties under £250,000 is due to expire at the end of March this year. This incentive could potentially save them a considerable about of money and offer a helping hand when trying to secure mortgages to get on to the property ladder for the first time.
Paul Smee, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) director general, says: "Despite the fall in lending in October, it is possible that we will see signs of increased activity by first-time buyers in the early months of [2012], as we approach the end of the Government's Stamp Duty concession."
It is more difficult than ever for those renting to be able to afford to save a deposit sufficient enough to purchase, with first-time buyers' mortgage deposit requirements remaining stable in recent months at an average of 20%. Once a deposit is saved however, buying your own home is on average £100 per month cheaper than renting.
Typically, monthly interest payments have continued to fall for first-time buyers and now only 12.3% of income is used to service the interest on a mortgage - the lowest level since January 2004, according to the CML.
So, with the months flying past, will first-time buyers have the time or money to saturate the marketplace and take advantage of this incentive?

News: UPDATE: Florida Rep Addresses Quoting Jay-Z's '99 Problems' Anthem
Sunday, Mar 11, 2012 8:29AM
Days after becoming an overnight Internet sensation for quoting rap mogul Jay-Z's "99 Problems" during a political debate, Florida representative Alan B. Williams has finally come forward.
According to Williams, he chose a perfect moment to make a comparison to Young Hov's 2003 record.
"The debate we were having was about the evidence obtained from a warrantless search of cellular devices and what would be considered unlawful search," Rep. Alan B. Williams (D-Tallahassee) told CBS Local. "That's why I connected it to Jay-Z's lyrics. It was just like what Jay-Z was talking about when he said, 'I know my rights you're going to need a warrant for that.'" (CBS Local)
Williams also spoke on getting corrected by Speaker Dean Cannon and revealed why he knew his comparison would not reach deaf ears.
"I did get it right," he said. "But some people said he [Speaker Cannon] did because the Speaker had the mic, so the Speaker had the last word." Cannon's response may have surprised those who watched the video, Williams said he was not blind-sided by the attack on his use of "99 Problems" as Exhibit A. "I knew he [Cannon] knew about Jay-Z because he was a radio DJ in college," Williams said. "He listens to a wide range of music." (CBS Local)
Footage of the "99 Problems" debate hit the Internet a few days ago.
Holy sh*t, this video is so awkwardly hilarious that it's probably the best random music-related clip of the day. While on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives, Rep. Alan B. Williams attempted to win over his cohorts by citing lyrics from Jay-Z's "99 Problems." But when he does so, he wrongly refers to Hov as the one stating "Aren't you sharp a tack? Are you a lawyer or somethin'?". Thankfully Rep. Dean Cannon is there to correct him and make this that much funnier/bizarre. (Prefix Mag)
Last December, Jay showed off his political wit during a CNN interview.
"I think me personally, I wouldn't mind paying more taxes if it went to things that really mattered," Jay said in an interview. "If it went to education and people in poverty, if it went to the right things, I wouldn't mind. I think it should be clearly defined where all the money is being allocated. ... [With Occupy Wall Street], I think it's saying a lot all over the world that people can get their voice out there and fight for a better world. I support all sorts of movements. There are so many different fights that we must take on - education and health care and poverty. It's good that young people are getting out and getting their voice heard, especially in this time of social media where that argument on the block or that thing that takes place in a small place -- is being viewed globally. You're really getting to recognize the power of your voice." (CNN)
