These are 'Top Trump' superbikes – the kind of machines you'll probably only ever see in pictures and rarely in the flesh. The new Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC, BMW HP4 Carbon, Ducati 1199R Panigale and MV Agusta F4RR are all about the big numbers: power, capacity, top speed, electronic rider aids and, of course, price.

Do You Want to Build a Gay Snowman?
The other day, a friend of mine pointed me to a blog post that she wanted a second opinion on. She had read the post and asked herself afterwards, "Is this woman bat shit crazy? Or, is it me?"
After reading the post and wondering why on earth some people choose to blog and reveal such crazy, I assured her that she was not the one with the issue for disagreeing with the blog, in spite of the number of comments applauding the author. I also told my friend that if she was crazy, then I was full on LOCO. Yes. In all caps.
Rather than send you to the post and have you contribute any page views to this woman's blog or her ego, I will summarize the basis for this gem of internet published work.
My Teenage Dating Chronicles
I have a story to tell you guys. You might not believe it. But I swear, it's all true. Every stinking word of it.
When I was younger, well…I wasn't really a hit with the boys. I know. I KNOW. This is hard to believe since now I am so obviously ridiculously, ridiculously good looking and charming. But suspend your disbelief for just one minute, however hard that might be and go back in time with me.
When I hit my teens, I was awkward and shy. A bit pudgy, with braces and Jersey hair so big and so wide that it made Medusa look like she was a shampoo commercial model. Friends, it was bad.
But then things changed. The pounds fell off when I ran cross country. A teeny weeny eating disorder didn't hurt either (another story, another day). The braces came off and I figured out (somewhat) how to work with the mop that God (yes, thank you for that God) gave me.
Stop. Drop. And Play Dead.
The other day (okay, a few weeks ago), I was working out at the gym, taking a break between sets during an intense leg workout. Well, let's be honest. It was a leg workout, made intense by the fact that it involved work.
I don't know what triggered the thought, but as I finished taking a sip from my water bottle, I remember thinking to myself,
"If a shooter were to walk in right now and start shooting up this place, would I have anywhere to hide? Where is the emergency exit? Do I know how to play dead?"
Not so bizarre. Not anymore.
I find myself thinking about those things more and more these days. I don't think it's hubris – I've never been one to be paranoid about protecting my life. I will jump on a trans-Atlantic flight, go on the most daredevil, heart-pounding roller-coaster and can go on a passionate carbohydrate binge that would have me banned from South Beach forever.
Who Put the White in Snow White?
When adults would read me Snow White as a child, I always marveled at the beautiful Princess's beauty. Her loving mother had wished for a daughter with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as coal.
Wow. She sounds pretty.
Except…. (Sound of a record scratching)
Back the fuck up, yo.
Skin as WHITE as snow?
I was raised in a pretty homogenous small town in New Jersey, at least when I was young. It started to become more and more diverse as droves of New Yorkers from Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens started to move a little further out to raise larger families in bigger homes, where they could still commute to the city. When I graduated from high school, my yearbook reflected faces from around the world.

Chapter 1 : The Four
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
"TRISSIE! Will you get up?!"
Trissie Venilia turned over in her bed and pulled the covers over her head. She was excited about going back to Hogwarts just not that enthusiastic about getting up at 8 in the morning to get there. She could hear her mother stomping up the stairs to get her.
"Tris, get out of that bed! Basil, Quinn, and Oliver are all waiting for you down stairs!" Her mother said ripping her covers off of her. The quartet of Oliver Porter, Quinn Murphy, Trissie Venilia, and Basil MacKay had been together since they had met at pre-school, Basil and Trissie since they were born. But that was just because they were neighbors and their parents were good friends.
"Just send them up," Tris muttered to her mom trying to find her covers again. If she knew Basil he was just as tired as she was. Their windows faced each other and they had stayed up all night talking about what would happen to Harry Potter this year and what had happened to him over the summer, the lies written in the Daily Profit calling him a nutter and Dumbledore too. Basil and she had both agreed they were behind Dumbledore and Harry. Stuff like Cedric's death aren't accidents. No one would claim that someone's death was on purpose if it wasn't and for attention. That was stupid. She heard the pounding of Basil's and Oliver's tennis shoes and the click of Quinn's boots coming up the stairs. Tris felt Basil's arms go around her and felt herself being lifted off the bed. She just groaned and snuggled into his sweater taking in the sweet scent of cinnamon that always lingered on him.
"You spoil her," Oliver said following Basil down the stairs. Tris lifted her hand only to flip him off. "I love you too, Tris!" Oliver said ruffling her already messed up red hair.
"Grab her a change of clothes, Quinn!" Basil shot back. Quinn nodded and headed back into Tris' room. Basil sat Tris on one of the stools in her kitchen and she finally sat up and opened her eyes. Basil got her a cup of coffee and put some cinnamon in it.
"Thank you, Basil," she said grinning tiredly at him. He smiled his Basil smile and sat next to her making sure she didn't fall over. Quinn came bouncing down the stairs with Tris' clothes folded neatly in her arms.
"Here you are, lovely," she said putting them next to Tris.
"Thanks," she mumbled.
"Hey! WE go now!" Tris' mom said bouncing into the room. Tris groaned but got out of her seat grabbing her clothes and coffee mug. The quartet piled into the Venilia's van. Basil's mom was in the front with Tris' mom and they made small talk while the teens in the back all chatted. Tris changed into the clothes Quinn had brought for her and groaned again.
"Don't you think that skirt's a little short?" Oliver asked looking at Tris legs.
"Oh you like it," Quinn told him.
"Yes but I don't want all the other boys to notice," Oliver said grinning at Tris.
"I bought that outfit for Tris," Quinn said pouting.
"That's why I don't wear it," Tris muttered.
"I heard that and it's about time you start showing off that body of yours. You will never get a boyfriend," Quinn told Tris.
"That's just the thing. I don't care for a boyfriend right now," Tris said. "That's your department. Who will it be this year?" Tris mocked her friend.
"You're just jealous," Quinn said pouting and crossing her arms in front of her.
"Yes, that's it," Tris said laughing.
"What do you think about it, Basil?" Quinn went on. Basil finally turned around to look at them. He had been quiet through their whole exchange. He looked Tris up and down.
"She looks just as lovely as she always does," Basil said. "It doesn't take a skimpy outfit for anyone to notice that." Tris smiled at her best friend and blushed. Basil only gave compliments when he meant them.
"I agree," Oliver said smiling at Tris. "The skimpy outfit just lets me see more." Tris threw her sleeping shirt at him. "I'll keep this forever," he said hugging it.
"You are such a pervert," Quinn admitted.
"Yes but I'm good at it," Oliver admitted grinning at the two girls in the backseat. "If perversion was Quidditch, I would be seeker." Tris shook her head smiling.
"If you all are quite finished," Basil's mother, Emily MacKay, said looking back at the quartet. "We're here." They all smiled at each other. Another exciting year at Hogwarts, well exciting as it can get in Hufflepuff house.

Coyne To Step Down From NATA
National Air Transportation Association (NATA) president James Coyne announced this week that he will be stepping down at the end of this year when his seven-year contract expires. Coyne has been at the helm of NATA for 18 years.
"The NATA board of directors and I have decided that 2012 will be my last year as president of NATA," he wrote to members. Coyne told AIN that this "absolutely" was a mutual decision between himself and the board, though he stressed that "it is not a retirement, and I plan on continuing to be involved in Washington and an advocate for private aviation–it will just be in a different manner."
In the meantime, Coyne will still lead NATA and support the board in the transition process. "There is a lot to do by the end of the year," he said, "This is an election year after all."
After his term runs out, Coyne will consult for NATA and he otherwise "plans to keep busy, and to continue to fly my airplane." In fact, he told AIN that several post-NATA opportunities have already materialized, though he hasn't committed to anything yet. "I love politics and I love aviation, so whatever I do will be related to these two things," he concluded.

Dennis E. Wieczorek, CFE, age 62, respected attorney at DLA Piper for 37 years, chairman of its Franchise and Distribution Practice, died July 11. The sad news resulted in numerous outpourings of sadness, support for the family and memories of a well-esteemed friend for his positive business and personal influence.
The DLA Piper law firm and its predecessor firms have served as IFA's General Counsel since the start of the association, 54 years ago. His areas of concentration included U.S. and international franchising, licensing, antitrust and distribution law matters.
Wieczorek, DLA Piper partner, began work on IFA matters from almost his earliest days at the firm, and formally assumed the role of general counsel several years ago. He was an active participant during IFA's Annual Conventions and Legal Symposiums, as well as IFA board meetings. In addition to his participation on the IFA board and its related committees, Wieczorek participated on the association's Legal/Legislative Committee and Legislative Action Group.
"Dennis Wieczorek's professionalism, expertise and friendship will be truly missed at IFA," said IFA Pres. &CEO Steve Caldeira, CFE. "His keen intellect, sound judgment, steady demeanor and focused diligence in the critical efforts that we are making to defend franchising in legislative and judicial arenas at the federal, state and municipal levels has made the IFA and the industry better and stronger. Dennis was, quite simply, indispensable."
Wieczorek's franchise practice excellence has been recognized by research publisher Chambers & Partners in Chambers Global and Chambers USA; The International Who's Who of Franchise Lawyers; The Best Lawyers in America, as well as being named Best Lawyers' 2011 Chicago Franchise Lawyer of the Year. He was honored as Best Lawyer for 2014 in Chicago's Best Lawyers magazine and as a repeat Franchise Times Legal Eagle.

Na Hale O Maui, a community land trust (CLT) working to secure and preserve a permanent supply of affordable housing for local residents, is sponsoring a homebuyers' seminar on Saturday, May 8, from 9 to 10 a.m. Registration is at 8:45 a.m. The trust received $3 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosure properties. The organization has already sold four homes to qualified buyers and is in the process if acquiring more homes.
Na Hale O Maui is looking for qualified buyers to purchase these NSP units.
The seminar, which will be held at the J. Walter Cameron Center, on 95 Mahalani St. in Wailuku, is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Potential homebuyers are asked to reserve seating by calling 244-6110 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday, May 7.
The seminar will provide important information about homeownership under the community land trust model and the steps a family can take today to work towards qualifying financially for a home loan. Seminar attendees will learn why their credit score is important, how it is computed and how to improve it. It will cover the steps toward reaching homeownership through the CLT model. Participants will learn how the unique structure of a CLT makes property less expensive to the homebuyer, and in many cases, easier to acquire.

This season, the Dodgers have not gotten much production from their catchers on offense. To try to fix this catching problem, the Dodgers announced prior to Wednesday's game that they have selected the contract of catcher Miguel Olivo from Triple-A Albuquerque and have optioned catcher Tim Federowicz to Triple-A Albuquerque.
The Dodgers have been working a two-man platoon behind the plate as of late. They have had to do this due to the injury of their starting catcher A.J. Ellis. The Los Angeles' catching duo of Federowicz and Drew Butera is hitting a combined .143 with a .393 OPS. That was not what the Dodgers had in store at the beginning of spring training, as they expected Ellis to be healthy and to get production from him both behind the plate and in the batter's box.
In the minor leagues, Olivo had recorded a .390 batting average along with four home runs and a 1.099 OPS in fifteen games at Triple-A Albuquerque. He is expected to give the Dodgers a boost as a hitter but they will take a toll with his fielding ability. Since he is now a thirty-five year-old catcher, he is not as effective as he used to be behind the dish.
Not all things look bright for Olivo and the Dodgers. Over the past three seasons, Olivo has hit a combined .222 with a .633 OPS. That is still a major improvement over both Butera and Federowicz, but he is still an awful batter. In his fifteen games at Triple-A Albuquerque, despite hitting .390, he struck out fifteen times compared to walking only three times at the plate. The Dodgers really need Ellis to get healthy and back in the lineup soon.

For our holiday fundraiser this year, Moms 4 Bieber and Legaci Music have teamed up to help the people in Typhoon ravaged Philippines.
Here's how it will work:
We are not keeping track of the amount of money each individual donates. That's not fair to anyone. We want everyone to have an equal chance to win prizes regardless of your economic status. We are keeping track of how many donations you can get referred. This being said, since we are teaming up with Legaci, this will include the "Legamaniacs" as well. So HASHTAG HASHTAG HASHTAG! And make sure when YOU donate, you put #Moms4Bieber or #Legamaniac in the comments. YOU CAN ONLY PUT ONE! I know that's tough!

Moms4Bieber is at it again! Our new charity drive for the holiday's is here! This will be simple, fun, inexpensive, and you can get your kids involved! Ready for it? Let's go!
The charity we chose is Samaritan's Purse! Here's a little about them:
Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ.
For over 40 years, Samaritan's Purse has helped aid the world's poor, sick, and suffering. They are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance. Their emergency relief programs provide desperately needed assistance to victims of natural disaster, war, disease, and famine. They offer food, water, and temporary shelter, meet critical needs and give people a chance to rebuild their lives. Their community development and vocational programs in impoverished villages and neighborhoods help people break the cycle of poverty and give them hope for a better tomorrow. They impact the lives of vulnerable children through educational, feeding, clothing, and shelter programs that let them know they are not forgotten.
One of the many things a child's needs besides food and shelter is knowing that someone cares. Sometimes a small kind jester can mean more than a meal! So our goal is to put a smile on as many children's faces as we possibly can!!
So, how are we going to make them smile???? : PACK SHOE BOXES FOR CHRISTMAS! How fun is that?
These boxes will go to children around the world whose families cannot afford to buy gifts or even essential hygiene products.
What YOU can do is gather a (or as many as you choose) shoebox or small plastic box and fill it with item listed below. The website gives specific idea's so it makes things easy for us! THEN, so we can donate all at once, (and because she has a certified collection church near her home) you will send the box(s) to Holly. Her address is listed below as well. Put in the box anything you'd like, but we are going to donate on behalf of Moms 4 Bieber! We are hoping to gather TONS of boxes to donate! Take a photo with you, your family, with your donation. At the end, we will have a video, just like we did with the Breadbaskets last year, of all of the donations.
Here are the steps on how to do a box:
1. Use a shoe box (standard size) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box, lid separately, but wrapping is not required. If you can't do an entire box, but can get the items and ship those, that's fine, too!
2. Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl and the childs age category: 2 to 4, 5 to 9, or 10 to 14. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label. (attached in the email) Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.
3. Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child. Use the gift ideas provided below.
4. Place your box(s) in one box to ship together, and mail it to:
Ms. Holly Wickline
Moms 4 Bieber
4501 Bancroft Road
Fredricksburg, VA 22408-1915
Most importantly PRAY for the child who will receive your gift! ** Please keep in mind that the organization is a Christian organization. However, this DOES NOT MEAN you have to be a Christian or celebrate Christmas to participate. These are not going to be given to the children as "Christmas gifts" but rather, gifts of love. We want to stress this because we know that just in our group, there is more than one faith and we want to completely respect every single one of you and your faith.
Now…the goodies! PRIZES for participation!!! As always, we know that prizes are not necessary to just to do something nice for others but it sure does make it a lil more fun! J So by participating you are entered to win one of the prizes below. EVERY person that sends a box will receive one entry for each box they put together.

So here is our newest project! Coincidently, Moms 4 Bieber have been planning this project for two months now and it just so happens that Justin blew us away with his donation to his hometown food bank as we were already thinking that feeding the needy for the holidays would be a great idea. Do you think he read our minds! Nahhhhhhh, he is "JustinCredible"!
What a wonderful gift we can give to those less fortunate. It's simple really, just get a basket or a box and fill it with non-perishable food items (see the list below) that are appropriate for a holiday meal and donate to your local church, school, food bank, homeless shelter etc.
After you have made your baskets/boxes and attached the Moms 4 Bieber Gift Tag, we are going to supply, take a picture of your baskets/boxes and email the pic along with a little bit about yourself, who you donated to and what it felt like to Pay It Forward! We will take all of these pictures and make a video to send to Justin and his family to show them just how much they inspire us to give to others!
NOW, we know you all don't need prizes to make you want to Pay It Forward but prizes are always cool huh? Sooo, EVERYONE that participates is entered to win a Justin Bieber Prize Box that will include a copy of Belieber The Book and http://belieberbook.com/ A BIEBER AUTOGRAPHED ITEM!!!
Below is an example of the tags that should be placed with each basket. If you would like the tag in format so that you can print four to a page please just ask! We will be happy to email to you!
You may direct all questions or suggestions to our Holiday Charity Coordinator, Jen Jennings at @JenRoseJennings or emailing email@example.com
Hi Moms 4 Bieber I know you guys have been asking about the bracelets so heres the deal!
We want ALL Moms 4 Bieber to have one! You deserve it!
However, as you know, we spend ALOT of money on prizes, gifts to kids that can't afford JB stuff, and shipping in our endeavor to find more Moms and to pay it forward. Most recently we have been asked to ship Sour Patch Kids to some kids in other countries that have never tasted them! :-) We LOVE doing these kinds of things but All of this stuff is costly and the bracelets are no exception. We would like to ask for a $5 donation per bracelet. PLEASE know that if you can not afford the $5 you will NOT be denied a bracelet. If you are a #Moms4Bieber you will still get one! Please know that the $5 barely covers the cost of the bracelets, envelope and shipping. We are NOT trying to make any money whatsoever. We are just trying to cover costs so that we can continue doing great things.
If you would like a bracelet please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the following info:
1.) Twitter Name 2.) Full Name 3.) Mailing Address 4.) Telephone Number
When your email is received you will receive a response email with the name to make your check payable to and the address to send to. At this time we are unable to accept credit/debit card payments. We are still working on becoming that sophisticated! :-)
It is wonderful knowing you all and being a part of something so rewarding!
Love you guys!

"People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings."
Painted three years before joining the Surrealist movement, Girl with Curls demonstrates three key methods Dali used to create mystery: scale distortion, anatomical exaggeration, and anonymity. The painting's blend of realism and distortion, combined with its erotic content, anticipate the Surrealist style for which Dali would become famous.
The first method to create mystery is scale distortion – initially the sensual girl appears too large in contrast with the white buildings in the landscape. She may be standing on a cliff overlooking a distant landscape, but Dali does not make this clear in his composition, creating confusion.
The second method is anatomical exaggeration. Although the environment is painted in a realistic manner, the girl's body is overly curvaceous and exaggerated. Her dress slips off her shoulder while her foot lifts out of her shoe, amplifying her sensuality as if she were emerging from a dream.
The third method is anonymity, consciously hiding the girl's face from the viewer, a pose Dali uses often throughout his career. By hiding her face, Dali refuses to provide any psychological dimension to the girl. She becomes an anonymous sensual being, a body without personality; any personal qualities associated with the girl must be projected by the viewer. By presenting this sensual yet anonymous figure to the viewer, is Dali inviting us to project our desires onto this girl as well?

No. The *very* safest way is "Don't let data anywhere near a shell!"
The CGI FAQ tells how to do this stuff right. So does the Perl FAQ

Mike Woodson came into training camp saying the only players guaranteed to start for the New York Knicks this season were Raymond Felton, Carmelo Anthony, and Tyson Chandler. And why not? There are no qualms about starting the Knicks' quickest, best point guard; the team's leader and best scorer; and the defensive anchor, the most legitimate center on the team.
The other two spots were open, however, and no one was quite sure who'd fill them. Would Woodson go back to the two-point-guard back-courts, perhaps with Pablo Prigioni starting alongside Felton? Would he play a traditional two-guard in the back-court? And what about the front-court? Would he play a traditional power forward or keep Anthony there?
Well, rather quickly, Andrea Bargnani seemed to get that starting slot at the four. It didn't seem he necessarily won it, so much as Woodson wanted to keep 'Melo at the three, play a more traditional power forward, and still provide floor-spacing (ideally) around Chandler and Anthony. However, after an unimpressive preseason, Woodson seems to be reconsidering his strategy. From Marc Berman:
"On Saturday, after Woodson revealed he wasn't yet set with Bargnani as starter, Melo said repeatedly it's not going to 'happen overnight' for Bargnani, who shot 30-percent from 3-point land. Anthony loves the way the former Artest has played this preseason and may feel they need his tenacity at the outset to start the season."
Other reports from the day said that World Peace spent the majority of scrimmage time playing with the other starters, which could be preparation for Wednesday's season-opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.
After seven games in which Bargnani shot mostly poorly and inconsistently from the field, defended lackadaisically, and failed to blend in, the adjustment might be needed. As Anthony suggested, it might happen eventually for Bargnani, but preseason wasn't much indicator that the Anthony-Bargnani-Chandler front-court world work.
Conversely, World Peace looked fairly impressive in preseason. He brings an undeniable energy to the floor that seems contagious to his teammates on the defensive end. He has the size to play either forward position, which could help Anthony, and so far, he's been the better shooter than Bargnani. For a team that looks like it's been needing a shot in the foot to start games, World Peace might just be the perfect third man for the front-court. Not to mention, if Woodson starts Iman Shumpert in the back-court, he and World Peace could combine to make a pretty threatening defensive combo on the wings.
We shall see on Wednesday.

Spencer Township residents seek transparency
Jo Ann Spieth-Saylor
write the author
January 29, 2014 | 09:12 AM
Many Spencer Township residents left Monday night's meeting of the township trustee and his advisory board with more questions than answers.
Attendees of the Spencer Township advisory board meeting line the front wall of the Frenchtown Community Center on Monday evening, waiting to sign in, while dozens of others are already seated.
Submitted by Sandy Dubois (
click for larger version
The meeting, which was moved from Township Trustee Donald Satterfield's home, where the township office is located, to the Frenchtown Community Center, which is operated by the trustee, to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
Susie Flock Weigle, who was elected last month to the three-member advisory board to fulfill the seat of her late father, Kenneth Flock, presided over the meeting. Weigle said the other two advisory board members, Ed Sieg and Bob Smith, elected her as chair.
"We will allow taxpayers, considering there's a lot of you here, to question the budget/annual report," she said.
Weigle added that the meeting was a requirement before the annual report could be published next week in this newspaper.
Questions quickly arose about what was in the budget since copies were not made available to all attendees. And what was being circulated only had the expenditures and revenue for the community center.
Interest in the township trustee's budget came to light last fall after Satterfield ended a contract with LifeSpan Resources that allowed the nonprofit agency to serve hot lunches at the center on weekdays. Satterfield had indicated the contract was terminated due to an increase in utilities when the center was used by LifeSpan.
Bill Dubois, whose wife, Sandy, was the meal coordinator for LifeSpan, said that they were not just interested in the community center budget, but the overall budget for the township.
"We want to see documentation of what was spent and who it was paid to," Phyllis Patterson said. "I've seen no documentation ... Anyone can prepare numbers on a piece of paper."
Satterfield told Patterson that she could come to his house at 8 o'clock the next morning and he'd "dig them all out" for her.
Weigle, who said she thought she "was being kind" by allowing the public to ask questions, apologized several times during the approximate one-hour meeting, saying she was "brand new" to the board.
"I do want this to run well," she said. "This is my township, too, kids. ... We used to get along. I can be objective. ... If I've made a mistake, I'm sorry; we'll try to correct it."
Some who spoke thanked the advisory board, especially Weigle, for their work as elected officials and Satterfield for his years of dedication and his accomplishment of getting the community center.
However, "there's frustration on both sides," Ray Saylor said. "Transparency is what we're looking for."
He and others pointed out that, with just one electric meter for the entire building, which also houses firetrucks and equipment for the Ramsey Volunteer Fire Dept., there's no accurate way to determine how much electricity the community room uses.
"A two-meter system might be worth looking into," Saylor said, adding that people also need to offer solutions that are best for the township, not individuals.
Belinda Smith commented that Satterfield could have better prepared the seniors for canceling the contract with LifeSpan and encouraged him and the advisory board to find a way to allow the senior meal program to return.
When June Bary asked if Satterfield had considered taking less pay (he is the highest paid of the 12 township trustees in the county), Weigle reminded her that the purpose of the meeting was to talk about last year, not the future.
One man said the group understands that "there's just not money to throw away," but those who gathered at the center for the meals and fellowship had offered to pay more to help with the utilities' shortfall.
A woman asked if donations could be made to help, to which the township attorney, David Layson, replied yes.
Satterfield said there was a donation box in the center, "but there was never any money in it."
Several in the room said that wasn't true.
In response to Sandy Dubois' question about where the money went for 2013 that was budgeted in 2012, she was told that utility costs were higher than expected.
Sieg said the budget was "running in the red."
After about 60 minutes of questions and comments, the advisory board unanimously approved its annual report.
"We thought you would be reading the amounts," Patterson said after the vote.
Weigle initially offered the account amounts for viewing after the meeting but then read them, which prompted additional questions.
The taxpayers were told that some "adjustments" had been made after an audit by the State Board of Accounts.
Weigle, who provided her phone number to the residents, said she hoped they had made some progress in bringing the community back together.
Court sets pre-trial conference
A pre-trial conference has been scheduled in the case of the People of Spencer Township vs. Spencer Township Trustee Donald Satterfield.
The "people" are questioning Satterfield's competency to perform the duties of his office.
The pre-trial conference is set to take place Thursday, Feb. 6, at 10 a.m. in Harrison Circuit Court, located on the third floor of the county courthouse.
The petition of the court was made in October after a group of Spencer Township residents were unhappy with Satterfield's decision to end a contract with LifeSpan Resources that allowed LifeSpan to serve hot lunches on weekdays at the Frenchtown Community Center, which is operated by the Spencer Township trustee. The residents began to question the township's budget but were unsatisfied with answers.
Attorney C. Gregory Fifer, with Applegate Fifer Pulliam LLC in Jeffersonville, has been retained by the plaintiffs. Corydon Attorney David Layson is representing Satterfield.

I recently saw in your paper annual reports for a few other townships. It seems to me that Mr. Satterfield is up front with his salary where as other trustees have hidden expenses they are receiving. They are getting internet service paid for, a portion of their electric bills paid, meals for their meetings, gas for their vehicles, insurance, etc. These other expenses and benefits paid out are considered as pay. Mr. Satterfield list his up front with no hidden expenses. The annual report showed none of these other expenses that other township trustees have. You would think being a journalist you would do a little fact finding. After all these reports appear in your own paper!
Spencer Township Meeting
January 30, 2014 | 12:53 PM
I just finished reading the article about the township budget meeting on the Corydon Democrats website. It sounds as though Mrs. Weigle was'nt really prepared very well to answer the questions. I think I would have prepared myself better with the facts before I chose to be the spokesperson. I thought it was disrespectful that she referred to those present as" kids". When the person asked about donations to keep the seniors in the center was brought up, the trustees lawyer stated that donations could be accepted. If that was true, then why did he turn down a donation from the Rennirt family, and the St. Bernards" church mens" group? Also, what kind of adjustments were made to the budget? As far as the competency hearing that is set for February 6th for the trustee, is the judge presiding an impartial out of the county judge? There are so many questions!!! If you go to the Corydon Democrats website, you can read a response to the Democrats article. The person responding must be someone on the trustees board, or a member of his family, as they seemed to know a lot of other trustees budgets, and what is considered the trustees pay or salary. they also said the annual report showed,didn't show any of the expenses that other trustees have, published on this townships report. How did this person see the annual budget report, when it has't been published yet? I think that proves that an " insider" had to have written the response letter that is published on the website. They chose not to sign their name. They must be a coward to not sign their name. Thank You for giving me an opportunity to write this ! I hope this letter makes others question things!

You point out that other trustees clearly identify all their expenses. We ask the same. We have to guess at what Mr. Satterfield is paying for. He reports high energy expenses but will not tell us what portion is for community room, the firehouse, his office. We have to rely on any information we can get...such as the propane company telling us that bills submitted close together were for one tank at the Center/Firehouse and one for the store.
If Mr. Satterfield does not have internet access, we wish he would get it to refresh his memory about his duties and all the laws that apply to an elected officials responsibility to the public. We would also be glad to pay his meals and mileage to attend training and update meetings.
You must be a Board Member because taxpayers were told they could not have a copy of the Annual Report until it comes out in the paper next Wednesday. Or, does the trustee give the report to some and deny it to others? Why aren't you willing to state your name and stand behind your statements?
Ask the editor of this paper if she has tried to interview the trustee to do fact finding. My guess is she has and he refused.

I have 2 questions that I would LOVE to have answered...
1) it said that donations would be accepted and yet when the Seniors, churches and others offered to donate money to keep the site open they were refused. Why?
2) during all this bad weather that the area has seen in the past couple of weeks and will most likely see again soon...why wasn't the center opened up for those who lost power and/or needed a warm place to stay. Or have meals, a hot cup of coffee or a cot at the ready for the road crews and emergency personnel that were out in cold and frigid temps?
Just wondering if those who are supporting the current board members would like to answer that?

Mr. Satterfields also stated that there was a donation box at the community center...who had access to it and if there were donations in it and how did they account for it and how was it reported?

Let me make a few things perfectly clear:
I am not a board member, family member nor have I seen the 2013 Annual Report. I simply did my homework & pulled up prior years reports from Spencer & other townships. These can be found on line & at the library.
I'm simply a taxpayer that does his homework rather than take someone's word for it.
January 30, 2014 | 02:12 PM
To Whom It May Concern:
Since you are not signing your name we are not sure how to address you so the above salutation will have to do.
I think all the taxpayers are also doing their due diligence in trying to get accurate information. They are doing their research and investigating just as you are.
The one thing that is a constant in everything I have seen is...answers. The people want answers as to why the center was closed? Offers were made to keep it open by the citizens and others that wanted to help. But NOTHING was done to work with the people of Spencer Township to keep the center opened.
Budgets are just that...budgets. Monies to run whatever facilities and or organizations that the county deem necessary. I for one (as do others) think that the center was necessary to the seniors. Now it is just an empty building collecting dust. It isn't even being utilized to raise money through functions like receptions or the like.
So don't say that the Spencer Township citizens aren't doing their homework. They are doing just what you are doing. Research, questioning and trying to get the answers they need to resolve this situation. Instead all they get are deaf ears.

I would like to clarify this "Donation Box" our Trustee keeps referring. There was a blue metal tool box that sat on the table just as you came in the door to pay for their meals. Cost of the meals was a suggested donation to all seniors 60 and older or disabled at $2.00 and under 60 the suggested donation was $4.69. If you could not pay you were never turned away. Everyone was welcome regardless of age, income or where you lived. The seniors had a coffee fund jar that set out everyday for donations to fund the activities held for the seniors. Donations to buy bingo prizes, bunco prizes, coffee, tea, sugar and condiments. Any of the little extras that the seniors wanted. These donations also were used to buy cleaning supplies, hand soap and toilet paper. I personally kept a running ledger posted for everyone to see how much money was collected and exactly what money was spent complete with all reciepts. I never wanted anyone to question where their money was spent. Even with something as simple as their coffee fund I provided complete transparency. So if our trustee came up after our operating hours he would indeed find an empty box as its not very responsible to leave money setting out overnight.
The seniors did offer to pay extra for their meals to go towards the utilities. I believe this entire community would have come together to generate addition funds to keep this senior meal program had it been brought to their attention. But it wasn't!

I saw many of the photos that were in the paper of the "activities" at the center..My question... How many hours did people sit around..shoot the breeze.. Drink coffee ...play cards after the meal? All of this requires electricity ...heat...water etc.
Do this in someone's dining room..not on taxpayers dimes.
2 meters requires more money being spent to rewire the breaker boxes etc..Doesn't Ray Saylor live in Lanesville?

A comment and then a couple of questions. Either way this investigation into the Spencer Township Trustee turn out, the residents of Spencer Township are the losers. Some of the members of the FB group "Save the Community Center in Spencer Township" while not residents, seem to be willing to go to any lengths to find wrong doing on Satterfield or members of his family. Satterfield and his family have all but been accused of theft without any proof on this FB page. That does not come without repercussion now days. During the time Satterfield is trustee all legal proceedings involving the Trustee are paid for by the Spencer Township residents. The 1800 residents living in the township are footing the bill. If the man is guilty of something it is money well spent. However, if this is a personal vendetta by 200 members of this FB page because they are angry that Satterfield cancelled the contract with Lifespan it is wrong the residents are paying for it. And before ANYONE makes any assumptions I am not on ANY side with this comment.
I have two questions;
Has the Corydon Democrat offered to interview the Spencer Township Trustee and/or the board members? If not, why not?
Has the Corydon Democrat offered to interview Lifespan to see why they are not willing to serve the Senior meals at the Frenchtown Community Center any longer? A copy of the email correspondence between Lifespan and Susie Flock Weigle confirming this was hanging up at the meeting Monday night?
Thank You

To the person who asked about Ray Saylor's residency, he and his wife moved from Corydon to the Depauw area in May 2004. Their home is in Spencer Township. And he never did live in Lanesville.
January 31, 2014 | 03:04 PM
John Smith, is that the best you can do? If you feel the Satterfields have been treated so unfairly, why didn't you stand up for them Monday night?

I would like to see a list of each of what all township trustees are paid, along with any employees. Then compare that to the population of the township. I read in the public notices that the Trustee in Harrison Township is making about $11k last year, while Mr. Satterfield has been drawing $17k-18k according to reports. However, Harrison Township has 12,484 population versus Spencer at 1,855. To me, that looks to be out of line. I also think that the people that have recently discovered this should not be patting themselves on the back so much. The Trustee in Spencer seems to have been drawing the highest trustee salary in the county for decades, yet people in the area only started complaining about it when the Trustee made a decision they disagreed with. Where were they in questioning this over the past 20 or 30 years? A report is printed in this newspaper every year. Seems to me that the Trustee there is overpaid, but the residents there let it go, and now there are sour grapes.

For those who think socializing and fun and games are a waste of taxpayer dollars,have you been watching the Annual Reports from other townships? Taylor Township support South Harrison Parks, South Central Baseball, South Harrison Seahawks. Morgan Township supports Harrison County Parks (I've heard entry fee to Buffalo Trace is paid for all Morgan Township residents.. Jackson Township supports Harrison County Parks. Sounds like a lot of fun and games to me. Or are fun and games just a waste of money for old people?

Not Vendetta
February 04, 2014 | 02:30 PM
As one of the more than 200 citizens that make up the referenced FB group, "Save the Community Center in Spencer Township", I feel I must respond to the allegation of "personal vendetta".
Let me begin by stating that, yes we are upset at losing the use of our beloved Community Center. It was an extremely successful program that benefited many in the community. After the announcement of the decision, our initial response was that we would simply meet with Spencer Township Trustee, Donald Satterfield, and work out a solution that would allow the program to continue.
At the very first encounter our group was treated with hostility and indifference. Our questions were ignored and our monetary offers to help support the continuation of the program were either ignored or flatly declined.
Mr. Satterfield could have avoided this entire situation had he and his board simply treated us as valued citizens with real concerns. Prior to this decision, we were happy in our ignorance of how much money the Township Trustees receive and are "trusted" to use for the benefit of their townships. In thirty- nine years, we had never questioned the process. Term after term, we reelected Mr. Satterfield with confidence that he was doing a great job.
Out of frustration, due to the brick wall we met in trying to work with the Trustee to solve the issue of canceling the senior lunch program, we turned to studying the budget to try to find funding that might be used to keep the program going. What we found there was surprising and a little alarming, not the least being the salaries paid to the Trustee and his Clerk. We checked other townships in Harrison County and found that Spencer Township Trustee and Clerk were being paid several times what other Trustees and Clerks were being paid.
We attended many meetings involving different public offices, to seek answers, and again were stonewalled. We were told that the budget did include funds to continue the lunch program at the Frenchtown Community Center. We were also told that even if the funds were approved for this activity it was up to each Township Trustee to spend the funds as they saw fit. As far as salaries, we were told that the Trustees set salaries and determine raises in pay. When the question was asked why the Spencer Township Trustee's compensation package was so much higher than the others in Harrison County, we were told it was because Mr. Satterfield "used to" have more responsibilities. Most of these prior duties have long been stripped from the township Trustee's responsibility, but the salary had not decreased even though actual job requirements have been became minimal. We questioned that if indeed the budget was "running in the red" as stated by the Trustee and his Board that maybe salary adjustments might be in order. Naturally, this suggestion was ignored.
Mr. Satterfield started this situation by his decision to end the contract with LifeSpan and conclude the lunch program at the Frenchtown Community Center without providing proof of the need to do so. Any legal fees that are being incurred could have been avoided had Mr. Satterfield simply treated us as friends and neighbors and not as hostile invaders without rights to question his authority. The issue would have been resolved quietly had he simply worked with us to find a solution. His office opened this "Can of Worms" and holds full responsibility for what has transpired.

Ms. Patterson I have a few comments and questions. You start out your comment by stating, and I quote, "As one of the more than 200 citizens that make up the referenced FB group, "Save the Community Center in Spencer Township"Â. I must remind you that not all of these members are in fact Spencer Township residents! So indeed you are asking the rest of the 1600 residents in Spencer Township to use our tax paying dollars to support your program. I don't think any one is saying this is not a great program. You and your constituents received more than your fair share of tax dollars on behalf of all of Spencer Township residents. This was not a required program although it did give a lot of seniors a great deal of joy. Not all agree with what your group is doing nor stand for. It is one thing to be passionate about a topic that is near and dear to your heart, but it is totally something else when you yourself have stated that you have went to other avenues to try to get the seniors back in to the facility. To no avail you have been told that the Trustee has the final say. Your group has not fought a fair fight. If you do not want to be met with hostility than do not make accusations of fraud, embezzlement, or theft. I believe Mr. Satterfield, my Trustee, is making a tough decision to not benefit a few township residents, but to benefit all.
Let me ask you this Ms. Patterson...you are running for advisory board, so if you get the position will you only do what will benefit you and your family members or will you make the tough decision that need to be made for all of the citizens of Spencer Township? As an elected official you have a fiduciary right to all of the citizens! Now there is no need for your group to attack any ones comments nor vise-versa. These are simply point of views and we can agree to disagree on this topic. We will see at election time what the taxpayers of Spencer Township really think.

I have not met one person in Spencer Township, personally, who does not want the Senior's lunch program. NOT ONE. In the same way...I have not met anyone in Spencer Township who agrees with the salaries of the Trustee or Clerk.
I welcome anyone to help fight this injustice...I don't care where you live.

So if you read all the stories and comments tied to this subject. I have seen three times where it said Lifespan is not interested in returning to the community center. So what are they still fighting over? So is this retaliation?

These boots are made of fleece and have a nice grip pad on the bottom and more importantly no matter how much she plays in the snow they will not come off.
The fleece allows them to dry out quickly and the basic design allows for quick putting on and taking off.
All that said each boot takes less than 10 minutes to make. You will need to make 4 in most cases and they can go on any foot. Having made several of these due to wearing out I am able to make 4 in less than 10 minutes.
No dogs were harmed in this Instructable. She does seem to be embarrassed by having the boots on though...
NOTE(FEB15) Due to popular demand (Xena's) and Valentine's Day, I have made a set of booties out of pink fleece and those picture have been added to the steps... Enjoy...
Step 1: Materials and tools
2. I used 4 - 2 inch circles of suede that I had from a previous project. Any durable material will work from canvas to cloth backed vinyl, Just make sure that it will not be slippery in the snow and on the ice.
3. 4 - 6 inch (approx) strips of double sided Velcro. I have found that this offers the best retention of the boot.
You will also need a sewing machine capable of sewing light leather and Velcro. Only if you have chosen these materials. You may have to use canvas or denim of your machine cannot handle the materials.
Standard sewing scissors and heavy duty thread are also required.
A pencil and a regular sheet of paper are also needed.
Step 2: Create the Pattern
After the trace is complete you will need to draw a rough outline which is greater than the size of the foot. This is shown in the third and forth pictures.
The total length of the boot is just short of the your dogs rear leg joint. In my dog's case that is about 6 inches.
The top part of the boot has a slight flare outward, this helps in putting the boot on your dog.
Using scissors you will now cut the pattern out from the full sheet.
Step 3: Prepare the Materials
Carefully cat the pattern out of the material creating a "bow-tie" shape. You will need to do this for each boot that your dog needs. Mine needed 4.
You will need to create a wear pad for the bottom of the boot for both traction and boot life. The wear pad should be about the same size as the dog's foot, It can be larger but this is not necessary.
I used an old roll of electrical tape as a pattern to cut out the circles of suede material, Again I did this 4 times.
Lastly you will need to cut 4 pieces of the Velcro material that is a least 2 times the width if the narrow part of the pattern about 1 inch below the flare at the top. Mine were about 6 inches in length. This is to fasten the boot.
The last picture is the layout before sewing.
Step 4: Sew the Boots
You will now need to attach the boot strap in the narrow portion of the boot material above the wear pad. This will place place the strap in the narrowest part of your dogs leg. I like to make a box area with the straight stitch with at least one diagonal. Neither I nor my dog has ever ripped one off.
Now you will need to tightly roll the Velcro strap up to take it out of the way for final seam sewing.
Fold the material over at the toe edge so that the wear pad and boot strap are on the inside.
Sew along one edge from the toe fold to the top of the flare. I use a straight stitch no more than 1/4 of an inch in from the edge. Again neither I nor my dog has ever ripped open on e of these seams. At the flare run your machine in reverse about 1/2 to 1 inch to lock the edge.
Cut the thread and flip the boot around and sew the other seam in the same manner.
Repeat this for the other boots needed.
Step 5: Enjoy the Warmth
Your dog's feet should easily slip into the boot. As mention before any boot can go on any foot...
The Velcro strap is wrapped snugly around the taper in the boot. Do not tighten too much or it will be uncomfortable for your dog. She (or he) will let you know by chewing on the strap if they are too tight.
Most dogs do not take to boots right away and prolonged high stepping is common. Try not to laugh as your dog will know and will take to hating the boots permanently.
The cold should no longer prevent the dog from walking and playing in the snow....
This is great! My dog won't go outside in bad weather either, which isn't great because I can't really afford puppy pads and she has horrible aim anyway.
I have tried a few types of dog booties but my dog hates them and gets them off easily. She has a weird foot and body structure due to her breed mix, pug/beagle/shepherd. I tried baby socks with rubber bottoms but though they stayed on fine and didn't slip off, she pulled them off easily.
I think I may alter the design a bit by using fleece or soft remnants as a liner, then maybe canvas as an outside. There is a good instructable of using candle wax to waterproof canvas shoes. I might add the vinyl( I have remnants) to the bottom, but I'm not sure if that would lower my dog's tolerance for them.
Well, are you freezing in -17 Celsius? You are undoubtedly thinking that because your dog has fur, he stays warm. But a Lab has short fur and dogs that can stand or are bred for that kind of cold are all Husky or Malamute type dogs. Their fur is a totally different matter, with several layers of different types of hair for insulation. And remember, the bottom of a dog's foot is hairless and exposed. Your dog (I hope), is an indoor dog mostly and therefore has no way to build up tolerance to that kind of cold like wolves do. In that kind of weather, your dog needs a coat or heavy sweater and definitely boots if he's out for any length of time to avoid ice and snow becoming impacted between his toes and pads which is very painful for them. Please reconsider. I'll admit that dogs acclimate to the outside easier than we do...but really, that is extreme!
Does anyone know if the dogs will wear these on hot asphalt as well?
I made a pair from denim and am going to try them for that purpose with my Catahoula. He has pink pads and is very sensitive to the hot ground.
Perfect! My black Lab/Border Collie cross loves winter but on those very cold days he could use some protection from freezing his pads. The suede pads are brilliant to give him decent traction - didn't like the cordura ones for just that problem. Got to make 4 of these tonight!
Sorry for the delay in responding to your post.
Xena passed away on the exact day of her birth at the end of August. I miss her greatly and there can be no one to replace her.
New pictures are not possible and she is greatly missed....
The vinyl pad can be slippery on ice and snow before the surface begins to wear off.
* Canine Emo/Goth -ers. I'm told they make the "C" sound hard, because dogs love beer. That's also why the Straight Edge movement never took off in their culture.
Maybe Xena just doesn't like the pink colored ones. She looks happier with the black ones on! (I have a daughter who hates pink). Just a thought.

Singleness is the time to chase after God as hard as you possibly can, not the time to worry about finding a mate. Not every person you meet is a future spouse. When God is ready He will reveal that special someone, so don't stress it.
young-lady-chasing-dreams-deact: Hey guys!:) It's me again.I was just reading Bible (Micah 4) and this question came up to me : Why did God want Jerusalem to cruelly pay back it's enemies by killing them?I mean, He created the law and one point was 'do not murder'. I can't seem to find the full answer myself. I know God is good and so loving and he sends so many blessings upon me. Could you please explain this point? God bless :) Love xoxo Patka
