Other features include scalloped fan bracing, 17" scale, "U"-shaped mahogany neck with aged white binding and Telecaster® headstock, 19-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone acrylic dot inlays, rosewood bridge and Fishman® Sonitone soundhole pickup system with volume and tone controls.

I love the look of this Ukulele and the tone I also have the Fender T Bucket Ukulele and I like it a lot. The Jimmy Stafford Model has really great tone through my amp and even when it's not. I have played guitar most of my life...1963-Now and only just started playing the Ukulele. I am hooked on this instrument......Don.

Tasty Cheese Alternative
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by rabbit on Aug 22, 2012

Nutritional yeast has a nutty, cheesy flavor which is exquisite in many different recipes. I am vegan, so I use it mainly as a cheese flavor replacement. I use it to make a variety of vegan cheeses, alfredo sauce, cream of broccoli soup, au gratin potatoes, scalloped potatoes, cheesy mashed potatoes, and many other recipes. Nutritional yeast is also a great way to get a wide variety of essential vitamins through your food. After eating it, my urine is always bright yellow and I feel great. As of this writing, this brand offers the best deal for the money and tastes just as good, if not better than any other brand I've tried.
very good product

This is one of my favourite nutritional yeasts. I love the flavour of this one and it's an added bonus that is the cheapest I can find. If only it wasn't out of stock for the majority of the time.
Fantastic product at a fantastic price!

I definitely shopped around for nutritional yeast, and this was the best price I found. I use it in cooking and have found it has a nice flavour.

I'm DYING over those incredible pumps! Your models are always wearing the most adorable shoes. I love them as much as the socks!! Where could I get them?
I'm afraid they came from Goodwill a few years ago, so they might be really out of date. The brand on the insole is "Circa Joan & David", if that helps! You might also be able to find something similar by searching for keywords like "wingtip" and "kitten heels".
Date published: 2014-07-02
How much will these stretch? Will they fit a bigger calf?
Looks like they can go up to about 15" in the calf with minimal distortion of the pattern.

Several government districts saw major changes; two declared bankruptcy. Eight state parks in Mendocino faced closure, and with the hard work of various nonprofits and the local State Parks staff, all were saved for another year.
The Mendocino Beacon celebrated its 135th year. To commemorate the event, the paper reprinted excerpts from the first year's editions. To see a few highlights of our favorites, see the 135th Anniversary story.
What follows are news bytes and photos that document another year in the long history of this community newspaper. Some day, descendants will research 2012 from Kelley House Museum, where The Beacon archives are saved.
- MUSD steels against funding losses
The Mendocino Unified School District went through a trying year of budget roller-coaster waves coming from the state. In the past 12 months, Business Manage Sally Swan closely followed the incredibly tumultuous state budget and proposed cuts.
In December 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown proposed eliminating home-to-school funds, to begin in January 2012, which would have been an immediate $191,000 loss to MUSD.
In January 2012, the governor pushed back the elimination of transportation funds while creating a "Weighted Student Funding" [WSF] formula that would have removed the district's categorical funds, a loss of over $500,000.
In February, Brown adjusted the WSF to stair-step over five years; the district would have lost $122,446 the first year and, by year five, $612,232.
In April, Brown restored home-to-school transportation in full to school years 2011/12 and 2012/13, with elimination in 2013/14 when the WSF would begin the stair-step in 2013-14 and over seven instead of five years.
In June, Brown restored transportation indefinitely, halted the move to WSF until after the election with flat funding, if Proposition 30 passed, triggering cuts if it failed. In August, the district moved to a bus hub route to save $34,000. By mid-December the tumultuous fiscal year had settled and the board returned bus routes to normal.
"It was an extremely emotional, difficult, unbelievable year," explained Swan, as she thanked the board and staff for being supportive. "The schools are still funded below the 2007-08 levels, but we are happy. What is really a testimony to how we have managed these five or so years is that today, our budget is balanced. Our revenues equal our expenses almost to the penny, but pressures remain."
In mid-March, Superintendent David Miller gave his letter of resignation, his last day was June 30. A week later, K-8 Principal Jason Morse accepted the position, and took over the superintendent duties in July. Shortly after, the district hired Kim Humrichouse as the new K-8 School principal.
In June, Board Trustee Jezerela Anderson resigned; Mark Morton was appointed in July. Morton retired from teaching last year; he taught 30 years-plus at the grammar, middle, and high schools.
- MCRPD depends on donations
Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District saw a complete restructure; MCRPD declared bankruptcy at the end of 2011, then campaigned for Measure A in a special election held in March.
Voters approved the measure in a landslide, which created a city sales tax to fund the operation of the C.V. Starr Center. Measure A also transferred ownership of the facility to the City.
In July, MUSD awarded the operations of the Mendocino Recreation and Community Center to the new nonprofit called Community Center of Mendocino. MCRPD had operated the facility for 30 years.
Executive Director Jim Hurst pinched pennies and cut services where needed to keep the district solvent until his contract ended, (he was paid $1 annually), when Beth Pine took over in May. Chris Aungst accepted the position of C.V. Starr director in June.
As the district began the year in the red; the budget was almost four times the revenue. By mid-summer, the district was no longer paying for the operation of one facility and had a tax measure to fund most of the operation of another and, with the delayed payments to loans due to the bankruptcy proceedings, the district is now seeing a marginal amount of black in on the year end books.
In the latter half of the fiscal year, Pine led discussion on how to start fresh; a committee formed to decide the new direction.
"The last couple of years we have been doing fire suppression," said Board member Bill Hayes. "Now we need to think about where we are now. We still have some hurdles to get over, our budget isn't super sound now, but it will get better."
- Hospital's
"New Normal"
Averaging a $450,000 loss for December, January, and February MCDH went into a financial red alert by March.
In January, the district discovered the debt service coverage ratio was calculated incorrectly; it dropped from 1.00 to .39 percent; ending December, the ratio is at negative .35 percent.
Cal-Mortgage, one of the hospital's bond insurers, requires the DSCR to be at least 1.25 percent. The ratio indicates whether the hospital is running fiscally sound and can pay its debts.
The board created a committee to find $2 million in savings. Employees took a 5 percent pay cut.
By April, the district restructured, made Hospice and Home Health a free-standing agency to qualify for Medicare cost-based reimbursements it hadn't while part of the Critical Access Hospital. There was a stalemate in union negotiations, and the cafeteria to save $300,000.
As spring turned to summer and then to fall, hospital finances maintained a steady downward turn, creating what Chair Sean Hogan called "The New Normal."
"It is happening in every community in the United States, no matter what size. It's not business as usual it's changing dramatically," said CFO Wayne Allen.
Allen explained in October that the hospital's finances had deteriorated due to an increasing trend of decrease in patients. He projected that if fiscal year 2012-13's trend continued, the hospital could be $4 million below projected revenues by June 2013. Faced with those sobering numbers and cash-on-hand dropping to a dangerously low level, the board filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
In an October closed session, the board did not renew CEO Raymond Hino's contract; Hino was CEO for six years. CFO Wayne Allen was named interim CEO, while retaining his CFO position.
As the downward trend continued, closed sessions continued, to create a hospital restructure plan.
- In June, the hospital experienced problems with its sterilizer and began replacement; it was decommissioned and all instruments were sent out for sterilization.
- The sterilizer steam generators broke in October, bringing in-house sterilizing operations to a halt again, the instruments were sent inland for sterilization for the remainder of the year.
- The district installed the electronic health records system in the spring and the first set of meaningful use federal standards were met by early summer.
- The pharmacy renovation project had several major set backs and is not yet complete.
- 0112 Code compliance
Mendocino Historic Review Board discussed code enforcement at length. The topic resurfaced several times through the year as a constant unresolved problem.
"The biggest problem about the rules, which MHRB is about, is that if you don't enforce the rules, it is unfair to the people who play by the rules," said Ed O'Brien, owner of the Compass Rose and former MHRB chairman.
"The real problem with code compliance is the sheer volume of complaints and the lack of personnel." Roger Mobley, County Chief Planner
- 0119 Another whale sculpture stolen
Two Byrd Baker sculptures were victims of some year end/new year pranks. The MacCallum House Byrd Baker whale sculpture was stolen just before Christmas 2011 and returned on Dec. 23 with a mysterious letter, "It's been 30 some odd years. I needed a swim... Never forget about Byrd Baker. December 19th better always be remembered and respected. Long live Baker or I'm swimming away."
Patricia Charter returned to her home on Todd Point after Christmas to find her eight-foot-long whale sculpture by Byrd Baker had been stolen. She estimated that several people would have been needed to lift the large sculpture off its base, and that they would have had to carry it or load it into a car after opening the swinging gate to her yard.
The theft likely occurred between Christmas and Jan. 1.
- 0202 4-way stop sign study reopened
"We think a 4-way stop on Lansing and Ukiah is a priority," one group leader said during the second Mendocino Town Plan update meeting. "Can we not wait for someone to die and be preemptive about it?"
"I think I have heard enough tonight to re-study it, I cannot promise when, but it will be done soon," Director of the Department of Transportation Howard Dashiell said. "I'm not promising the stop sign; I'm promising I will look into it."
When a study was done a decade ago, it was deemed unnecessary.
- 0209 "Right of Use'
The Mendocino City Community Services District was challenged when business owner Richard Green received a bill for $9,200 for a use change.
"If you think a business can move to a slightly larger space and pay $10,000 to move things like this, then there are going to be a lot more vacant places here," Green said. "This is really an unrealistic number."
The change of square footage wasn't as substantial as he first submitted; the fee was substantially lower.
According to the "Right of Use" ordinance, when there is a categorical change in the load on the sewer system, there is a fee charged to "buy-in" to the system.
- 0209 Greenwood Bridge
Construction began in February on the Greenwood Creek Bridge Replacement project. The bridge, on Highway 1 near Elk, was built in 1956.
"The new bridge will be wider and safer for all users, including motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists," wrote a Caltrans representative. "It will include 12-foot lanes, six-foot shoulders, and a five-foot-wide protected pedestrian path which will become part of the California Coastal Trail. The total project cost at completion is estimated to be $20.5 million."
- 0209 Standish-Hickey
At a meeting in the small town of Leggett, over 85 percent of the town appeared. A road sign reads: "Now entering Leggett, population 35" there was 30 people at the meeting.
"Standish-Hickey is land that came in as donations from people, in memory of family members... It was given in trust," said Jill Palmer, community member of Leggett.
Standish-Hickey was one of 70 state parks slated for closure to save $22 million in the fiscal year 2012/13. No plan was established to reopen the parks. Eight of the 70 parks slated for closure were in Mendocino County; five with campgrounds.
With just over 1,000 acres and 170 campsites, Standish-Hickey follows the Eel River.
- 0216 County to
privatize mental health
Could contractors provide better adult mental health services than Mendocino County? How much could the county save by turning treatment of the mentally ill over to nonprofits and medical firms and entering into joint partnerships with private agencies and other governments? Those questions were the subject of a process the county launched to obtain proposals for further privatization of county mental health services. The issue had not been announced publicly or even to the Mendocino County Mental Health Advisory Board (MCMHAB).
- 0223 Mountain lion
Feb. 13, Fish & Game received a report from an Albion Middle Ridge Road resident that two mountain lions were living in a neighbor's abandoned house. A warden discovered feral cats had been living in the abandoned house and the neighbor's outdoor cats had been disappearing.
While investigating, the warden discovered that morning, about 3 a.m., the homeowner of the abandoned house woke up to a loud crash and found the bedroom window broken.
"The lions evidently had seen a cat in the window and tried to get it, not knowing a window was there, crashing into the window and breaking it," McKiver said.
- 0223 Albion fires
A fourth structure fire in Little River, in four months, happened Feb. 17, around 10 p.m. off Little River Airport Road and Road 16. Feb. 20, at 3 p.m., another structure fire began on Albion Ridge D Road, five miles inland from Albion as the crow flies. The fires were believed to have started around stove areas.
- 0301 MLT opens trails
"On the Coast, where our resource-dependent communities are on the decline, recreation and giving tourists a way to get outdoors is a really important part of our economy," said Louisa Morris, Mendocino Land Trust Director of Trails and Conservation Programs, during a tour of several new Mendocino Land Trust trails.
Mendocino has approximately 130 miles of coastline; each addition of public access adds a piece to the California Coastal Trail.
One MLT trail is the "Little River Blowhole Trail," north of Little River Cemetery. The other trail, north of Navarro River, is called "Navarro Blufflands."
- 0308 Measure A passes
The March 6 special all-mail Fort Bragg Measure A sales tax election for the C.V. Starr Community Center passed. Nearly 54 percent of the 3,180 registered voters in the 19 precincts cast card votes. Measure A received 1,272 yes (74.43 percent) votes and 437 no (25.57 percent) votes.
- 0322 Jug Handle spared
Alden Olmsted, with a matching donation from California State Parks Foundation $19,000 removed Jug Handle State Nature Reserve from the closure list for the fiscal year.
"[This] is an ongoing offer, as long as I can keep raising funds to save parks," Alden said. "The foundation is great and their partnership makes this possible for me to multiply what we are doing today."
- 0329 Bay View Caf
After 25 years of renting the same space from the same owner, Bay View Cafe owner Jim Jones received a 45-day eviction notice. The lawyer's letter stated the owner was "seeking new commercial interests."
"Twenty-five years and we are kicked to the curb," Jim Jones, business owner of the Bayview Caf , said. The caf closed its doors March 26.
- 0405 Spring storm
It seemed like the rain would never arrive but when it did, it came down in buckets. While coastal winter storms typically result in outages, road closures and landslides, the last week of March saw fewer problems that usual.
- 0405 Ocean parks impacts reviewed
New North Coast Marine Protected Areas could cost commercial fishermen $278,000 in future years, a new economic analysis presented to the Fish & Game Commission showed.
At a Fort Bragg meeting, one concern raised was why the process targets fishing or extractive uses alone and doesn't outlaw or regulate other uses of the ocean, such as aquaculture, wave energy or even oil drilling.
- 0419 K-8 School on lockdown
The K-8 School received a report from a concerned person who said they heard a student, wearing a red sweatshirt, had brought a weapon to school. The scare was a false alarm. Lockdown lasted about 45 minutes.
- 0419 Tsunami debris?
While combing the shore between MacKerricher and Virgin Creek beaches, 14-year-old Eden Lorentzen found an unusual drink bottle made entirely of aluminum. Upon closer inspection, it was found to be an empty container of Qoo, a Japanese fruit drink manufactured by Coca-Cola and distributed in Asia. The bottle's exterior is battered, making it hard to confirm if it was from the March 2011 tsunami.
- 0426 Sculpture returns
Someone stole the sea gull sculpture from the Sea Gull Inn on Albion Street. Later in April, the missing sculpture was duct-taped to the Byrd Baker whale sculpture. No note, no explanation.
- 0426 Ford House

- 0517 More parks saved
A unique donor agreement between the Hendy Woods Community, Save the Redwoods League and State Parks is keeping Hendy Woods open. The nonprofits donated $20,000 each toward eliminating the operating deficit; the Hendy Woods Community is donating 1,000 hours of volunteer time.
Point Cabrillo Light Keepers Association received verbal agreement that the Light Station could operate on a month-to-month basis until State Parks renewed their concession agreement.
- 0517 Pay stations
Because of the severe shortfall and realization that it costs more to close a park than to keep it open, State Parks looked for ways to increase revenue. Eleven new self-pay stations were installed in parking lots. Once the coastal planning review processes, with Mendocino County, the City of Fort Bragg and Mendocino Historical Review Board, are completed a fee schedule could be enforced.
- 0517 Heritage House
Would Heritage House reopen? Little River's Heritage House, setting for the naughty 1978 Alan Alda film, "Same Time, Next Year" was ready to rendezvous with its fourth ownership group. The unidentified new owners paid $8 million for six parcels of Heritage House property in March, county records stated, then another $470,000 for a new parcel. The property had been closed for nearly four years, with a target reopening date sometime in June that did not happen.

- 0614 Russian Gulch
California State Parks decided to cease negotiations with Mendocino Area Parks Association for an operating agreement to keep Russian Gulch State Park open due to some matters with the new water treatment plant. Another factor in the decision is the Mendocino district offices are on Russian Gulch property.
- 0621 Greenwood Beach
Greenwood State Beach and Visitor Center Museum would remain open for another year due to donations. Donations were from Alden Olmsted ($3,000), California State Parks Foundation (over $7,000) and MAPA pledged to pay the utility bill of the Visitor Center Museum, (roughly $3,000).
- 0628 Mendo beach fire
Firefighters canceled cliff rescue training June 20, due to a mid-day fire at Big River Beach that kept them, and other agencies, busy for at least a couple hours. Fire Chief Ed O'Brien estimated the fire started near one of the campfire rings and may have been started by a wind-blown spark.
- 0628 Nadel as judge
Former county counsel Jeanine Nadel was sworn in as judge, to a packed courtroom filled with family, friends, former and current supervisors and other members of county government.
- 0705 Mendocino Headlands
Mendocino District of State Parks held a public hearing about the project to remove invasive plants Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom via mowing.
"It has become a habitat for homeless people," Loren Rex said. "It has stored a lot of trash and human feces is getting stuffed in there. So by removing [the blackberries]; it will hopefully alleviate that problem."
- 0712 Standish-Hickey
Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area (SRA) was reopened to campers. It was saved due to the joint efforts of MAPA, Team Standish and Department of Parks and Recreation. Team Standish and MAPA worked around the clock for almost a week to get a 30-day event permit to operate the park while they were waiting for the operating agreement to be finalized.
- 0712 July 4th Parade
A clear blue sky and patriotic spirit kicked off events when the VFW Color Guard went by on Main Street, leading the famous Mendocino 4th of July parade. The crowd shouted plenty of cheers and, "Thank you for your service" to the five veterans. Flocks of brown pelicans glided past in the background a good day for a parade.
- 0712 Pay stations
California Department of Parks and Recreation went through the permit process to install self-pay parking stations at seven State Parks locations in Mendocino County.

- 0719 Help Dime
Dime arrived at the Humane Society in March. She was adopted, then it became apparent she needed surgery and was returned to the shelter. Dime is available for adoption but definitely needed surgery soon it was a painful condition.
- 0719 Solar, SmartMeters
"The act was pretty black and white. It prohibited local ordinances from prohibiting the use of solar, which is exactly what you do," said Terry N. Gross, deputy county counsel of Mendocino County, at the MHRB meeting. At first read it seemed to deprive the board of any review power, but MHRB guidelines are under the Coastal Act, another state mandate, which puts them on parallel levels.
"I would recommend applying that reasonableness to [your review]," Gross suggested. "I still think it would be a good idea for the board to develop some guidelines."
- 0719 Laura's Law
County supervisors declined to implement Laura's Law after nearly a year of lobbying by advocates. Laura's Law allows court-ordered mental health treatment for mentally ill people who have refused voluntary treatment and who have been determined to be a danger to themselves or the community.
The law requires that no voluntary programs be defunded to pay for the Laura's Law program, and all services provided under Laura's Law also be available voluntarily. Mendocino County had no extra funds for voluntary or involuntary mental health programs.
- 0726 Pelicans
This year, brown pelicans had a good reproductive year and there was a noticeable increase in the agile divers flying feet above the crashing waves. The life cycle and the brown pelican's mortality rate of fledglings learning how to feed themselves can be anywhere between 50 to 70 percent. Experts agreed it seemed to be a high mortality year.
- 0726 Hidden funds
Just two weeks after the dreaded July 1 closure date for 70 state parks, news of a scandal emerged; $54 million was found in two accounts for the Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks) had not been reported for at least a decade. DPR's Director Ruth Coleman resigned and the Acting Chief Deputy Michael Harris was fired. Gov. Brown directed the Department of Finance to conduct a comprehensive audit of Parks' fiscal controls and the California Natural Resources Agency Secretary John Laird to conduct a sweeping review of Parks' management.
- 0802 tar mess found
Just 50 feet from the flowing Navarro River is a vertical 3-foot-wide stream of black tar flowing out a window in an ancient concrete wall. The wall starts eight feet from the roadbed of Highway 128; the tar just 18 feet from the road the whole mess is hidden behind a tree. Reporter Frank Hartzell investigated.
- 0802 Hidden funds found
A week after uncovering the hidden funds scandal at State Parks, finance officials tried to piece together why the balance sheets for similar "special funds" were off by $2.3 billion money that appeared to be right under their noses amid California's financial meltdown. At least 17 accounts appeared to have significantly more reserve cash than what individual departments reported to the finance department, though it was unclear why.
- 0809 Mysterious boxes
Did you see the black boxes on lamp posts on Lansing and Ukiah streets near the intersection? After the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office received concerned inquiries, deputies checked out the mystery boxes. Deputies found four black Pelican-type cases, all with no identifying information; all were located within the Lansing and Ukiah Street areas. The cases were identified as property belonging to the Department of Transportation. They were placed in Mendocino area by DOT employees for traffic data collection.
"We are collecting data and hope to prepare a updated traffic study report by this winter," wrote DOT Director Howard Dashiell in an email.
- 0809 More trash cans?
"When visiting Mendocino, it seemed there are very few [trash cans] compared to the amount of visitation you receive," said Mike Sweeney, manager of Mendocino Solid Waste Management Authority, during the MHRB meeting.
Sweeney said he noticed there are six barrel-style trash cans sitting at the dump in Caspar and he isn't sure how they got there, but wanted to know if the board would like them installed around town.
The board expressed a need for trash cans in many areas, and stated overflowing trash cans has been an issue.
- 0816 Bassler investigation
It had been nearly a year since the death of Aaron Bassler, the man authorities believe, based on evidence, killed two Mendocino Coast men and led officers on a month-long search in the dense woods east of Fort Bragg. While Bassler's death gave some people closure and security in the matter, it also left a lot of questions and room for speculation.
Bassler's death did not mark the end of the investigation for county law enforcement officials. For District Attorney David Eyster, it meant another 10 months of follow-up investigation to determine if all the facts of the case justified officers in shooting Bassler.
- 0823 Navarro tar "mess'
The state left in place an ancient 20-foot long and 15-foot concrete wall, which looks to be the abutment for a long forgotten Navarro River Bridge. The new Highway 128 was built just five feet from the wall. For some reason they never removed the wall.
At some unknown point, Caltrans yanked out the big tank, leaving contaminated soil beneath. Enough tar spilled on the ground or on the wall to produce substantial streams of it, gallons which are now "frozen" in a mass of intertwined rivulets down 12 feet of the face of the wall and along the ground toward Navarro River and ocean estuary, located about 50 feet away.
- 0830 Firehouse burgled
Mendocino Little Lake Road firehouse was broken into twice. The glass on the back entrance was broken by the intruder; the opening was used to reach in to unlock and open the door. Beer was reported stolen from the refrigerator and a firefighter's television was also stolen from upstairs .
- 0913 Black oystercatchers

- 0913 Soundproof substation
PG&E updated some of the equipment at the electrical substation west of the Mendocino K-8 School. A MHRB permit request was approved to install a sound-proof wall around three-quarters of the substation.
- 0920 MVFD 125 Years
2012 was the Mendocino Volunteer Fire Department's 125th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, the department held its traditional family-oriented open house. A lot has changed since its founding in 1887, but one thing remains the same: the fire department's success depends on the support and participation of the community.
One of the Department's other early acquisitions was its first fire engine, a hand pumper purchased for $1,835. Although it might seem primitive by today's standards, it produced a stream of water strong enough to tear the shingles off buildings. Last used to battle a fire in the 1920s, the hand pumper was recently the centerpiece of the 2012 Fourth of July Parade.
- 0927 Missing persons rally
Organizers hoped an emotional rally at the Mendocino Presbyterian Church courtyard would bring attention and new details to light in the disappearances of local missing persons. Monica Caison, founder of CUE Center for Missing Persons, and her tour crew arrived in Mendocino to take part in the rally as part of the "On the road to Remember" tour. Mendocino was one of CUE's many stops in the west coast.
Several missing persons cases remain open in Mendocino County. Michelle Schlick-Harris disappeared from Caspar shortly after Jan. 1 2008. Eric Christopher Grant was last seen at work on Oct. 27, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. and was working in the area of Navarro Ridge Road. Kristi Krebs was reported as a missing person to the Fort Bragg Police Department on Aug. 9, 1993. Anyone with information in regards to the disappearance of Eric Grant is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office Tip-Line by calling 707-234-2100. This list is incomplete.
- 0927 Carnegie medal
Fort Bragg Middle School teacher Richard Becker received a Carnegie Medal for saving the life of 17-year-old Zayre Johnson in January 2011. Becker was one of 19 heroes awarded this year. The commission noted that Becker had gone out to surf, but declined due to strong winds and rough conditions when he saw Johnson struggling in the rough surf.
- 1011 Flynn Creek fire
After seven days of battle and mop-up efforts, firefighters from around Mendocino County were finally able to leave the site of the Flynn Creek wildfire the evening of Oct. 8.
Firefighters first responded to the wildfire off Flynn Creek Road in Comptche around 2 p.m., Oct. 1,
At its peak, the wildfire spread to 200 acres; one residence and nine outbuildings were destroyed.
- 1011 Greenwood bridge
If you traveled south of Elk in the past six months you noticed signs warning commuters of construction work, saw vehicles parked on either side of Greenwood Creek Bridge, and probably sat wondering if the signal and time itself had forgotten you while you waited for the light to turn green.
Where were the workers? It has looked like a construction ghost-town.
"In a couple more weeks, it will look in-the-mode of bridge building, but right now, to someone who hasn't been trained on how to build a bridge, it doesn't really look like there is much going on," explained Renato Carlos, field engineer for Golden State Contractor, at a site tour last Friday. "But there is a lot going on."
Since earlier this year, the construction crew had worked underneath the bridge, somewhat hidden by vegetation.
- 1025 Humane Society
Mendocino Coast Humane Society operates the only animal shelter on the North Coast; the board received more praise than criticism at its public meeting in Town Hall. The shelter took over the contract the City had with Mendocino County Animal Care and Control, which ceased operation of the Summers Lane shelter a couple of years ago.
Karabensh said the shelter receives no government funding.
"This [operation] is not a donation from the City of Fort Bragg," he said.
- 1101 Fish & Game
A 3-part series
"I didn't realize how unhappy I was until I got in this job, and I have had a lot of cool jobs," said California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Warden Patrick Freeling. "What I wanted to be doing was creeping around in the bushes or in a field getting the bad guys, and I found that. Most of us signed up for this job over becoming a CHP deputy, or a cop, or a park ranger, because we care about the resource," he said. "We are directly tied to our jobs."
-1101 MUSD K-8 math
MUSD K-8 School was identified by the state for PI program improvement.
Superintendent Jason Morse said the school was identified for "PI" because it had not met the math requirements for two years. Morse said in the past five years, the K-8 School has had six math teachers for seventh and eighth grades, when Algebra 1 is taught. Morse reported that the district had not been able to find a math teacher willing to stay.
-1108 Election results
President Barack Obama was re-elected. U.S Senator Diane Fienstein was re-elected. Jared Huffman was elected to the U.S. Congress and Wesley Chesbro was re-elected to the Assembly. Nationwide, voter turnout was reported less than the record-breaking turnouts in 2008.
- 1108 Mendocino Town Plan
County planning staff held the fourth public meeting to review the first draft of the Mendocino Town Plan update. The plan was reformatted. Online there are two documents; one is the new reformatted Town Plan update and the other is the old Town Plan annotated with the changes. Staff hoped it would be before the planning commission by January 2013.
-1108 MCCSD reconsiders payment policy
"The policy for collecting fees takes a year or more," said Mendocino City Community Services District board President Roger Schwartz. He had asked to have the payment policy brought to the board to reconsider how services are billed.
MCCSD currently bills quarterly.
"I think 110 days is too long to allow [a late payment] to go on and it allows a large sum to build up," said Schwartz. "I know it has been nine months to a year before someone caught up, because of the way we bill."
If a resident is late on a payment in the first quarter, it will not show up on the district's records until the bill for the third quarter, July 1, is sent.
- 1115 State Parks
State Parks held a short-noticed public workshop at the C.V. Starr about AB 1478, Gov. Brown's bill, which promised to allocate $10 million from the $20.4 million in excess funds discovered in July and to match public donations generated to save the 70 state parks from closure. The bill was signed Sept. 25.
Donors, and nonprofits that created operating agreements with the state have until June 30, 2014 to have their request for matching funds filed and signed by both parties.
The funds must be spent by June 30, 2016.
- 1121 Local arrests part of larger drug ring
Five county residents were taken into custody by federal agents, but a sealed indictment kept officials from releasing an explanation.
According to information provided by Jim Cross, a public information officer at the Wichita, Kansas bureau of the U.S. Attorneys Office, those arrested from the Coast were Henry McCusker, John Paul McMillan, Erin M. Keller, Jeffrey Wall and Richard W. Smith, Jr. Although they were listed for appearances in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Cross said by email that trials would be held in federal court in Kansas City, Kan.
Indictments filed in Kansas, beginning in June, allege that 42 defendants participated in a drug trafficking organization that distributed $16.9 million worth of high-grade marijuana and cocaine in Johnson and Douglas Counties, Kan.
Fifteen Mendocino High School students, in the School of Natural Resources (SONAR) class, spent two November afternoons at Big River conducting a study on the crab population.

- 1129 Sleepy driver
CHP investigators said a morning crash was caused by a driver dozing at the wheel. John Chapler, 59, of Point Arena, was driving south on Highway 1 past Road 409 at 45 to 50 miles per hour when he fell asleep and drifted across the oncoming lane. Chapler's Mercedes sedan left the roadway, skidded through some brush and collided with a stump.
- 1129 New stop sign in Mendocino's future?
Mendocino County Department of Transportation Director Howard Dashiell was working on the traffic research study report conducted at Lansing and Ukiah streets last summer. Dashiell said the initial findings indicate there is not enough traffic for a stop sign. He estimated the report will go before the Board of Supervisors in early 2013.
- 1206 Storm damage
While the first storm of the season deposited a lot of rain, damage and outages came in much lower than major storms of recent years, resulting in less difficulty than expected.
- 1206 Ten Mile Court
"I can tell you today that we will not reduce court services in Ten Mile Court as planned. I hope you heard the last two words, 'as planned,'" Judge Rick Henderson told an overpacked Town Hall Nov. 29. "The main reason was the strength and breadth of the objections that we got from all of you."
The community-wide response started almost immediately after Mendocino County Superior Court's Oct. 30 announcement that the Fort Bragg Ten Mile Court branch would face several reductions and "no longer conduct hearings in criminal felony and juvenile matters." Jury trials and in-custody matters were also slated for elimination.
- 1206 County to get legal advice on federal records subpoena
The County hired an outside attorney to address a federal subpoena for the records the county keeps on its medical marijuana ordinance.
"Federal authorities have subpoenaed information regarding 9.31, but have not disclosed their interest in that information," Parker read from a statement the board prepared in its closed meeting. The board also directed him to "hire and retain outside counsel and to take appropriate action," said County Counsel Tom Parker.
- 1206 BOS urged to reject federal subpeona
A Mendocino County marijuana growers' association called "misguided" a federal subpoena for records the county of Mendocino keeps regarding its medical marijuana ordinance, County Code 9.31, and urged county officials to take action to fight the subpoena at a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Dec. 4.
The U.S. Attorney's Office issued the subpoena to the Mendocino County Auditor's Office in late October, asking for records of funds paid to the county under 9.31, according to county officials.
- 1206 Possible clinic merger
The hospital board formed an exploratory committee to work with an equivalent team from the Mendocino Coast Clinics to research a potential merger with the North Coast Family Health Clinic. Because MCC is a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) it receives federal funding the Family Health Clinic doesn't qualify for.
- 1213 Two cited for
forest dumping
Following a citizen tip, Fish & Game wardens tracked down and cited two Fort Bragg men for illegal dumping. Scott Salo, 26 , and Cody Tyler Johnson, 22, of Fort Bragg, were cited for public dumping of trash in Jackson State Forest. Warden Powers said the two had to clean up the mess and will also have to answer to the citation in court.
- 1220 MHRB decision upheld
The Board of Supervisors reviewed State Park's appeal of MHRB's denial of a permit to place signs on the headlands for proposed pay stations. MHRB reviewed the permit application in September and denied it after a discussion about how pay stations would affect the town character by increasing parking elsewhere in Mendocino by people visiting the park.
- 1220 Tires slashed Visitors to Hill House walked out to an unpleasant surprise one night 13 vehicles had their tires slashed. Lt. Greg Van Patton said they had two suspects, but there was no clear evidence linking them to the incident to warrant an arrest at that time.

The Big Build
Utility infrastructure projects face high costs, labor shortages and global competition for resources.
employment. In our industry, craftspeople and other skilled employees move from project to project, so having a sizeable backlog provides a degree of job security that a similar job at a company with a smaller backlog might not offer.
The decision to locate the Power Group headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., is another recruiting tool we've been able to leverage. Charlotte is a growing, vibrant city with a moderate cost of living, and many job candidates are excited by the thought of relocating to Charlotte.
Fortnightly: How deep is Shaw's backlog of utility infrastructure projects or construction contracts in general?
Gill: Corporate-wide, Shaw booked nearly $11 billion in new awards during fiscal year 2007 and its backlog of unfilled orders as of Aug. 31, 2007, rose to a record $14.3 billion—up 57 percent from approximately $9.1 billion the same time a year earlier.
Of that $14.3 billion backlog, Shaw's power group accounted for $8.5 billion of the future projects, the majority contracted with regulated utilities. We expect this trend to continue during the next few years, as utilities continue moving forward with AQC projects and some new construction on coal-fired and intermediate gas plants.
In addition to these conventional projects, we're currently involved in a geothermal project in Indonesia, and from time to time we have evaluated other projects such as wind and biomass that might leverage our EPC expertise. Finally, we're also looking for cross-marketing opportunities that might be available because of work being done by Shaw's fabrication and manufacturing, environmental and infrastructure, and energy and chemicals businesses.
Beyond the near term, we're optimistic that our backlog will grow substantially as customers in the United States, China and elsewhere begin ordering nuclear power plants in large numbers. Again, as a part-owner of the AP1000 nuclear program, Shaw Power expects to be a major player in the nuclear renaissance.
Fortnightly: Do you see more interest in new utility infrastructure construction or in refurbishment of older facilities?
Gill: We are seeing interest in both. In some cases, utilities are opting to upgrade existing power plants to make them cleaner burning and more efficient, and our fossil organization has won a number of AQC and re-powering contracts. At the same time, we are executing three new greenfield coal power projects here domestically, and are engaged in discussions for several other new plant opportunities.
Our nuclear and maintenance divisions have been active in power uprates at nearly half of the 100-plus nuclear plants in the United States. The fact is, Shaw dominates the U.S. nuclear power uprate market, with 46 projects to increase a plant's generating capacity by 2 to 20 percent through the installation of more efficient equipment and more accurate instrumentation. To date, the uprates performed by Shaw have added 2,050 MW of electricity to the U.S. grid, the equivalent of two baseload power plants.
Fortnightly: What types of utility infrastructure projects has The Shaw Group recently been awarded?
Gill: In 2007, Shaw Power's fossil division was involved in six, new-build coal-fired plant projects for U.S. utilities—half of them using supercritical technology and the

Former Husker Alfonzo Dennard was found guilty Wednesday of assaulting a Lincoln police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.
Dennard was arrested outside a bar at 14th and O streets last April 21st, accused of punching the officer in the face during a fight that occurred five days before the 2012 NFL Draft. The New England Patriots took Dennard, who was the 2011 Big Ten defensive back of the year, in the seventh round.
Prosecutors had also charged Dennard with third-degree assault of a 22-year-old man. The jury found Dennard not guilty on that charge.
Lancaster County Attorney Joe Kelly was pleased with the verdict and hopes the case highlights the challenge police officers face with crowd control when bars close in downtown Lincoln. "A case like this usually can serve to highlight what the police face down there very often. My memory is that there were 142 assaults in that one area in 2012. It shows what a difficulty it is for police to manage that situation day to day, keep everyone else safe, their primary job, while keeping themselves safe."
Kelly talked about the value of having video surveillance cameras in the downtown area. He thinks the video helped the jury reach a verdict in this case. "When you have these fights that occur after bars close or in bars you usually have some witnesses that have been drinking and you usually have some very different accounts of what happened."
Dennard's Attorney Terry Dougherty said they are disappointed with the verdict. "Our work is not done. We have to turn our attention to the sentencing hearing coming up in April. We'll be working for that so that the sentence is appropriate to what the evidence is disclosed in front of the jury."
The 23-year-old Dennard played in 10 games this past season with the Patriots, intercepting three passes and making 34 tackles.
He faces up to six years in prison. Sentencing is set for April 11th.

Triumph is keen to emphasise the Thunderbird-based 'bagger' LT is much more than AN Other Road King clone. In fact, so much has been changed it's effecfively an all-new bike.

It would be easy to be cynical about Triumph's new Thunderbird Storm. Its route of taking an existing cruiser model and spinning off a pared down, mean and moody, all-black, 'hot rod'-styled variant is, after all, a well-trodden one. Riding it, however, reveals the new Storm to be pleasingly more than just AN Other fashion victim. Aside from predictable black ...

Triumph's decision to revamp the original Rocket III into a streetfighter is an interesting one. Why?

The 2013 Kentucky Wildcats only won two games. It was not the ideal start for head coach Mark Stoops who was entering his first year as a head coach in college football. A big jump is expected to be made, however, in the 2014 season. Although Kentucky is a basketball state, Stoops has been able to create some excitement around the football program. He brought in a top 25 recruiting class and 35,000 people showed up to the spring game. Additionally, the Wildcats did not exactly get blown out every game.They lost five games by less than two touchdowns and three by single digits.
Kentucky has two conference titles and 14 bowl appearances all-time, playing home games at Commonwealth Stadium (67,606) in Lexington. The Wildcats alumni include NFL players such as Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb, Denver Broncos tight end Jacob Tamme, and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson. This season the Wildcats look to rebuild with a young, fast, and new exciting team! We don't want you to miss the Wildcats in action this season, so get your 2014 Kentucky Wildcats tickets from Gold Coast Tickets for an unbeatable price.

Post subject: Nashcon 2013 - The Battle for Kh'rtis Rock - AAR
Nashcon 2013 and the Battle For Kh'rtis Rock are over for another year.
Here is the promised AAR (pictures will be posted in another thread):
After Action Report
Previous experience with this massive slug-fest have led to a few time saving practices, all of which were applied this year.
Since the game uses the "squadron rules" from the ACTASF rulebook, the ships were combined into squadrons and the data cards for all squadrons were printed on a single sheet of paper. In addition, the squadrons were color-coded to facilitate looking up the correct cards.
The three Federation Task Forces were assigned Red, White, and Blue for TF-1, TF-2, and TF-3.
The four Klingon squadrons were assigned Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow (the colors on the Klingon trefoil).
To follow through with the color coding, plastic drinking straws in red, white, blue, green, and yellow were cut into 1-inch lengths and slipped over the vertical bases stems before the minis were attached.
This made it quick and easy to find the matching ship card / ship min when it came time to fire weapons / mark damage/ or to move.
Turn One:
Turn one saw the Klingons make an incredible series of unit activation rolls. All but three ships managed to activate.
While the Klingons formed the active ships into two groups and swept around opposite side of the BATS in a classic pincher move, the Federation Task Force One (TF-1) moved 6 inches and launched a complete wave of suicide shuttles.
Long range firepower was nothing more than a few Federation drones trying to cause a Klginon ship to run out of ADD ammo - which did not happen. The Klingons initially lobbed a few drones at Federation ships, but after the firrst couple dropped the drones with nothing but phaser-3s, they began to target the suicide shuttles.
Turn Two:
A few more players showed up and were added to the various teams.
The Federation forces advanced TF-1 another 6 inches and launched another full wave of suicide shuttle???
The Klingons activated two more ships and made an incredible series of repair rolls on the D6s and the D7s.
Federation TF-2 was placed in the hands of Mark "PlasmaBoy" Thomas (who arrived late). TF-2 used the All Power to Engines special action to at least close into range.
Mid-range to Long-range fire from both sides was little more than nuisance fire... except for the Phaser-4 ground-based defense station located on the green moon of Kh'rtis Rock. The phaser-4 blast into the Federation Command Cruiser at point-blank range was more than just a bit of a surprise.
Turn Three:
Turn three saw the Klingons make another round of better than average rolls for repair of the damaged ships and the final two inactive ships became active.
In addition, the first round of Klingon reinforcements arrived.
With the slow advance of the Federation units, the Klingons now outnumber the Feds by a fair margin and are in a better position than the Federation. Nearly every Klingon unit has its reinforced forward shield facing the Feds and the Fed drone racks are all busy pumping out anti-drone drones, so they cannot be diverted to offensive operations.
Several of the smaller ships on both sides receive critical amounts of damage. The first casualty is a Klingon E4; but that's not the last...
Turn Four:
With one last round of repair rolls and the Feds closing on the BATS (finally), the Klingons decide to undock the D6s and D7s from the BATS before it blows up and takes them with it.
The Federation fleet forms into a line abreast formation and attempt to roll up the Klingons between them and the BATS. Fortunately, it works. Not a single Klingon unit is left beside or behind them.
Unfortunately, it's a costly maneuver. While many Klingon ships die - almost as many Federation ships are crippled or damaged.
The BATS is now in sight, but the Federation forces are still outnumbered by the Klingons.
Turn Five:
Turn 5 sees the remaining Klingon reinforcements arrive. It's a small detachment (3 D6s and 3 F5s) and its badly positioned since the battle has shifted over time, but it's another 6 Klingon ships that will be in range before the end of the battle.
The Federation forces close on the BATS and line-up.
The Klingons prioritize their targets by "who presents the most threat to the base?"
By the end of Turn 5, the BATS is a scintillating cloud of vaporized duranium and gases. Nearly every Federation ship remaining on the map has damage - some of it crippling damage and there are 6 fresh Klingon ships bearing down on the remnants.
The Federation is scheduled to receive 8 more ships as their final reinforcements during movement of Turn #4, but their deployment zone will leave them 2 to 3 turns from effective range and by then, the existing Fed forces will be decimated and the incoming forces will still be out-numbered, out-manned, and out-gunned.
At this point the Federation forces conceded the match.
That's one Nashcon battle to the Federation and one to the Klingons. Next year will be the final tie-breaking game.

Have to warn you, Chief Lackey Rich is what I consider a real jerk in that he's a hater of ACTA:SF and seems unwilling to keep his dislike of a rule system separate from his dislike of the people who created it. Can't stand the guy.
