There is Thanksgiving to give thanks.
There were a lot of factors to weigh when it came to the tons of sand Barton County uses for road maintenance, the decision to purchase a new dredge or the continued buying of sand from a private vendor.
We have a lot of blessings to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. There are gas prices that are among the lowest in the country and an economy that is showing signs of recovery.
For years now, Barton County has benefited from state dollars that have helped keep the county's infrastructure in tip-top shape. A big part of that success can be attributed to County Engineer Clark Rusco, County Administrator Richard Boeckman said Monday morning.
The possibility that the State of Kansas could rob highway project funds to solve the state's fiscal crisis has come up at recent Barton County Commission meetings. Local officials are worried about work that is promised to the area but that now may be delayed if not cancelled.
Encouraged by the lowest gas prices in recent memory and a brighter economic outlook, the number of those going over the river and through the woods this Thanksgiving weekend will be the highest in several years.
It is a sign of the times.

On Friday, Great Bend Street Department personnel began installing bicycle awareness signs along what will become the city's first bike route. It follows 19th Street west to McKinley and McKinley south to the Sports Complex.
According to the United States Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center, there was a 4.8 magnitude quake at 3:40 p.m. Wednesday centered about eight miles south of Conway Springs in Sumner County.
It was a cold fall morning Tuesday as the late morning sun filtered through the golden autumn leaves at Veterans Memorial Park. A stiff north breeze whipped the rows of Old Glories lining the Avenue of Flags.

Dead Keyboard after Win 7 Starter shut down by empty battery
Likes # 0
Posted November 4, 2012 at 2:04PM
Foolishly I allowed the battery on my Acer notebook to run out causing Windows to shut down and lock the current files. As I needed the files urgently I asked a professional to recover them, which he did. Later I connected the mains power and recharged the battery. Now the notebook keyboard will not allow me to enter my password when demanded. The mouse and touchpad work. I have used F8 to try to restore the previous status. No luck!
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem please, apart from ditching the note book.

You could try plugging a standard USB keyboard into the computer and see if that lets you get into Windows. If it does, try running System Restore to see if it restores the built-in keyboard's functionality.

Try restarting your notebook in Last Good Known Configuration . Hit F8 at boot and choose LGKC. if that doesn't help try it in Safe mode

On the log in screen you should have the ease of access icon on the bottom left. Use the mouse to click on it. In the menu select 'type without the keyboard(on-screen keyboard). That will at least let you log in so that you can check device manager for any problems.

Pros: The Hotel had a stylish Asian flair. It seems well-maintained and clean. The best part is its proximity to the train station which can link you to t
Cons: I think it's too late to add some soundproofing to this facility. Noise from adjacent rooms can be problem.
Location: Tres Cantos is a very quiet place. There are great supermarkets there, so you can stock up on picnic stuff & go travel around to neraby cities.
Check-in was a breeze. The front desk staff was friendly and accommodating. One of the days the towels were not changed nor was I provided with bath soap. I did not have breakfast at the hotel, but the breakfast room looked busy. I loved the fact that the Hotel was in a very safe and quiet area. My room had tall ceilings, a very large window and was very comfortable.

Trinity County: Mark Baird gave a great presentation to Board of Supervisors
Here's what happened at yesterday's Trinity County Board of Supervisors' meeting.
Trinity County Supervisor Chairman Judy Pflueger invited Mark Baird to give a presentation on the Jefferson Declaration project to establish a State of Jefferson. Mrs. Pflueger had attended an earlier Town Hall and wanted the rest of the Board to hear about the possibilities in a new state.
This Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2014 meeting was a very well attended meeting with about 65 crowding into the board room. Late-comers had to stand out in the foyer, because all the seats and standing room along the walls was taken!
Mark Baird's address was flawless and hit on all the major points. You could see that minds were being opened to the idea and it's possibility as he spoke.
Then, several of the board members had very good questions, which Mark was easily able to answer.
There was a question about the finances that Mark wanted to check into before he gave an answer and Supervisor Karl Fisher was nominated to be the go- between to get that information.
We know that Judy Pflueger and Debra Chapman will no longer be on the board January, so we will need to go back again when the new supervisors are installed.
In the meantime, Rob Oakley and Richard Seel will be working hard at educating and getting the word out about Jefferson. If you can help, please contact them.
Their contact info can be found at JeffersonDeclaration.net.

Arizona Voters Approve Prop 122 to Reject Federal Acts
Arizona Voters Approve Prop 122 to Reject Federal Acts |
Tenth Amendment Center
Nov. 4, 2014
PHOENIX, November 4, 2014 – Today, voters in Arizona approved a ballot measure that follows James Madison's advice to stop federal overreach. With 80% reporting, the tally held steady and increasing at 51-49%.
Approved was Proposition 122, a state constitutional amendment that enshrines the anti-commandeering doctrine in the state constitution. The language amends the state constitution to give Arizona the ability to "exercise its sovereign authority to restrict the actions of its personnel and the use of its financial resources to purposes that are consistent with the Constitution."
This language is consistent with the advice of James Madison, who wrote in Federalist #46:
Should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, which would seldom fail to be the case, or even a warrantable measure be so, which may sometimes be the case, the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps, refusal to co-operate with the officers of the Union; the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State; the embarrassments created by legislative devices, which would often be added on such occasions, would oppose, in any State, difficulties not to be despised; would form, in a large State, very serious impediments; and where the sentiments of several adjoining States happened to be in unison, would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter. [emphasis added]
The amendment language mirrors the well-established legal doctrine of anti-commandeering. The Supreme Court has consistently held that the federal government cannot force states to help implement or enforce and federal act or program.It rests primarily on four SCOTUS cases – Prigg v. Pennsylvania (1842), New York v. US (1992), Printz v. US (1997) and National Federation of Businesses v. Sebelius (2012).
Prop 122 places language in the state constitution that would empower the state to pass referendums, bills or use other legal means to end cooperation with an unconstitutional federal act. Supporters of the amendment say the provision allowing the people to vote to refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will prove especially significant.
"Basically, it will allow Arizonians to hold a state referendum on federal policy, something I don't think has ever been done before," one supporter said.
While the people of Arizona could hold a referendum like this now, by constitutionalizing the process, it now allows Arizonians to hold a statutory referendum on each issue instead of a constitutional referendum. A statutory referendum requires less signatures to get it on the ballot, something supporters say will allow grassroots groups to initiate the process.The money necessary to get a constitutional referendum on the ballot makes grassroots efforts difficult.
The amendment allows the people of Arizona to deal with unpopular federal programs like Obamacare, gun control, surveillance, and more. Supporters say one of the first issues they plan to target involves federal rules that allow Arizona Child Protective Services to hide important information. This has become an issue in several investigations alleging agency misconduct in the deaths of children under their care. CPS used rules tied to federal funding to refuse to disclose information. Amendment supporters say they will use the new process to forbid state cooperation with any federal rule that shields transparency.
Simply put, the amendment enshrines a process to refuse state cooperation with unconstitutional federal acts in the state constitution. As Judge Andrew Napolitano has said, refusing participation on a state level can make federal laws "nearly impossible to enforce."
In 2012, Arizona businessman and TAC lifetime member Jack Biltis spent $1.2M to get signatures in order to get his nullification question on the ballot. While he came up short that first try, he and others – including the tireless Arizona Tenth Amendment Center team – worked to get the measure on the ballot a 2nd time.
The ballot measure was put on the ballot this year after the Arizona state legislature passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 1016 (SCR1016) in 2013. The state Senate passed it by a 16-12 margin, and then in the state House approved it 36-23. Bypassing a likely veto from Gov. Jan Brewer, the measure went to a vote of the people.
"Politicians in Washington are fond of passing far-reaching laws, but more often than not they depend on state and local governments – and state and local taxpayers – to implement them. This means that not only is Congress making life harder for Arizonans, they're asking us to pay the bill," according to the Yes on 122 website. "That's why a bipartisan majority of the Arizona Legislature came together to pass Prop 122."
Former Arizona Sen. Chester Crandell, R-Heber, who died in August after being thrown from his horse, was the primary sponsor of the bill as it moved through the Legislature.
"I think we can all agree that the federal government is out of control. Look at Obamacare, excessive EPA regulations and the takeover of our automobile and financial industries," Crandell wrote in the campaign literature sent out by the state. "The forest service and EPA are driving many of my rancher and farmer constituents out of business. The federal government has their hands in every aspect of our lives."
Biltis moved to the United States from Montreal, Canada 20 years ago. He says it worries him watching America follow the same path as his native country.
"I've seen this movie play out before, and I can't risk my kids' futures on it playing out again," he said. "I've seen what an overreaching government can do. We couldn't run a business. If we answered the phone in English, the language police could shut us down. We paid 70 percent of what we earned in taxes."
Biltis said the move to nationalize health care in the U.S. particularly frightens him.
"Once the government had control of healthcare in Canada, things got even worse," he said. "After surgery, my father-in-law couldn't get a needed medication because it required government authorization, and the government office was already closed. The hospital admitted that he would die that night without the medication, but was not allowed to sell it to us because 'that wouldn't be fair to those who couldn't afford the medication.' We were eventually able to get the medication through the black market."
Biltis calls the United States "the world's last hope."
"If America goes the way of Canada, there is no other place to escape. After seeing Washington's takeover of the healthcare, auto, and financial industries, I realized that the government is not operating under any semblance of control," he said. "Bringing back Federalism is the only way to make the government accountable and keep us free."
So Biltis put his money where his mouth is, mortgaging his home and business to the tune of $950,000 to fund the drive to get the initiative on the ballot and passed in Arizona. And, that was just for the first round. Final figures have yet to be reported for what was invested to get Prop 122 passed.
"I have nothing personal to gain from this movement, other than the chance that my kids will grow up in an America as free as the one I knew," he said.
Prop. 122 has the potential to be a real game changer. If supporters follow through and use it as a mechanism to successfully reject participation in major federal programs, it's likely that more states will follow Arizona's lead.
While not something that will happen in the immediate future, this kind of domino effect is what's needed to spell doom for the destructive notion of endless federal supremacy. Because the feds rely on state compliance far more than they would like you to realize, these type of measures are incredibly important. They have the potential to create a chain reaction that could shake up the status quo more than anything we've seen in generations.
Santa Barbara Applying for State Loan to Restart Water Desalination Plant
Santa Barbara Applying for State Loan to Restart Water Desalination Plant
By Stephen Frank on Nov 06, 2014 08:08 pm
California Political Review
More than twenty years ago the people of Santa Barbara built a desalinization plant. Yet, they never opened it. If they had, the county would not be without water today. Government in the county would not be trying to stop private water deliveries, such as those received daily by Oprah Winfrey and other rich people. Wonder if Al Gore gets private water for his $9 million ocean view mansion?
Now they need more than $30 million to upgrade this never used water plant. The money is available, since Prop. 1 passed. In fact, loaning money for this might be the ONLY creation of water in the total $15 billion bond (principle plus interest)
"This week, the council approved applying for a Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan to pay for the capital costs of reactivating the plant.
"We are hoping for the loan to cover all desalination capital costs, including what has been spent to date," interim water resources manager Joshua Haggmark said.
Question why should the people in Tulare help pay for water in a county that built a desalinization plant more than twenty years ago and REFUSED to use it? Just a thought.
City officials estimate the cost of reactivating the facility at more than $32 million
The City of Santa Barbara's water desalination plant will require more than $32 million to reactivate. City officials are applying for a state loan to help defray the costs.
By Giana Magnoli, Noozhawk, 11/6/14
The City of Santa Barbara is applying for a state loan to cover capital costs for reactivating the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant.
The plant was placed in standby mode shortly after it was built in the early 1990s, so the reverse-osmosis membranes and other equipment must be replaced to make the facility functional again.
The plant pumps seawater through filters to catch the solid matter first, after which pure saltwater is pumped through the membranes at high pressure to separate out the fresh water.
City Council members hired Carollo Engineers to do preliminary design services, and the city will soon request bids for a contract to design, build and operate the plant.
Around April, the council will consider awarding a contract or delaying the process.
This week, the council approved applying for a Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan to pay for the capital costs of reactivating the plant.
"We are hoping for the loan to cover all desalination capital costs, including what has been spent to date," interim water resources manager Joshua Haggmark said.
The city submitted a pre-application in July and was told to submit a full application for funding, he said.
While the reactivation capital costs were initially estimated at $20 million, city staff now believe the cost will around $32.4 million.
At the full permitted capacity of 7,500 acre-feet of water per year, the facility would produce about half of the city's water needs.
When it was built, the Goleta Water District and Montecito Water District had an agreement with Santa Barbara to help fund the construction and share in the water production.
Those agreements have ended, and the plant would only be used for Santa Barbara city water customers.
Arnold's awful real estate deal haunts state
Arnold's awful real estate deal haunts state

California Political Review
Arnold was an amateur governor and a professional fondler. He loved the part of being governor, never understood economics or the role of government. As long as women were available and the crowds cheered him, he was happy as a clam. Forced to make decisions, he reverted to the European model of government—the State is […]

Eat like a King pay like a Pauper
Need help my fellow chowhounds. I have my sister's wedding anniversary coming up pretty quick and my wife and I are suppose to take my sister and her husband out to dinner for their anniversary. My problem is that I need to find a "nice" restaruant at a affordable price. Location doesn't matter...food does. Looking for a quality restaurant that has good food-nice atmosphere that is VERY affordable.(this economy is killing me!) Thank you for your help and suggestions....
Need a little more info to be of much use. HOW affordable? Where in town? (your alias suggests you had some affiliation with UCLA, but not when) What will/won't you and your guests eat?
How about one of the Persian restaurants on Westwood. Good food and the price is reasonable.
Lal Mirch. Fantabulous Indian restaurant in Studio City. The chicken tikka I got was perfect, simply perfect: juicy pieces of chicken with a little bit of char, and very flavorful. The sides we got were all excellent, as were some of the other entrees I tried. The rice was fluffy, the naan straight from the oven. You can do family style, or order your own.
Their wine list leaves a lot to be desired, maybe check about their corkage.
Here's the website. Please ignore the prominent display of the Zagat rating.
I apologize for my vagueness. The budget for the evening is $200.00 give or take.. American food preferable(ie: steak, chicken etc) Italian will work as well. My sister and her husband will have a drink or two. My wife is not a drinker at all and since I will be driving I will avoid alcohol for the evening. Pasadena area would be nice. Long beach will work as well.
re: Timabruin
Well I see my Lal Mirch rave was wasted.
For really good Italian in the Pasadena area: Briganti in south pas, and Celestino in pasadena (a bit more expensive than briganti).
re: slacker
Not entirely -- I will try Lal Mirch based on your rec, as it is very close to my place. BUT I am fairly suspicious of an Indian restaurant that has beef dishes on their menu! What gives?
re: Maxmillion
I don't eat beef so I never really notice that on menus. But I say, whatevers. The food is very good. One of my friends got the mixed tandoori plate (mixed meats), and that didn't look as good as everything else we had.
Hope you enjoy it.
re: slacker
Hey -- we got take away from Lal Mirch on Sun eve. Really great Chicken Tikka Masala (my benchmark) - it was all white meat, too; excellent fluffy Garlic Naan; rich and oily (but delicious) Lamb Dupiaza. The only disappointment was the Aloo Gobi which is my SO's fave but he doesn't like the ones that are kind of tomato based.
I have yet to try their daal (another of my benchmarks).
Also, there were no pappadum on the menu and I forgot to ask when placing the order. When I got there I said that, and offered to pay cash for the pappadums (plain, not peppercorn, thank goodness) and they gave me some free!!!
Very cool.
My new fave Indian place.
Thanks so much for to slacker the rec!
re: Maxmillion
You're welcome! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. :)
re: Maxmillion
Hindus don't eat beef. There are hundreds of millions of Muslims and Christians in India too, amongst other religions. Lal Mirch is wonderful, I hope you won't write it off based on the fact that they serve beef.
re: slacker
not wasted at all --- i couldn't figure out what i wanted or where to go tonight - "Fantabulous" sounds ideal when not in the mood to drive to artesia
thank you
re: slacker
Your Lal Mirch review was far from wasted! From your rave, I'm ready to try it, and as a bonus, I live SO close.
re: Timabruin
Sorry, Pasadena & LB off my radar screen.
If Westwood is acceptable, Tanino will fit to perfection.
Very decent Italian. Nice & classy look, reasonably priced.
In Pasadena, Smitty's Grill might work for your budget. I believe that you can come in under $50 per person for dinner, although you'd probably want to double-check the prices beforehand (their website doesn't list prices).
Another option might be Bashan in Glendale, which has been getting a lot of good reviews of late. It might be a little above your budget if everyone orders appetizers, entrees and drinks, though.
While not in your geographical area, both Nook Bistro and Violet in Santa Monica have tasty food in a nice environment and within your budget.
re: DanaB
I am the biggest fan of BASHAN... I love this place...however, it will be hard to keep the tab within range if you want apps, entree and dessert...it is too hard to resist ordering at least 3 appetizers when there are just 2 of us so watch out with 4 people.
Smittys is one of my favorites in Pasadena but if you want another one of my absolute favs, SHIRO in South Pasadena is amazing!!!
)On Wed nights, SHIRO has a great 3 course meal that is probably under $40 per person.
The service at SHIRO is fantastic!!! Modest and reasonable wine list...don't forget to get the Ravioli appetizer...it is amazing!!!
re: tatertotsrock
ooh, didn't know shiro is the sister resto to orris! fantastic!
re: wilafur
If you're a fan of Orris, I think you'll really enjoy SHIRO.
It's a bit more old school, locals and families...relaxed but special occaision friendly..I've cruised by on a whim just to have a glass of wine and the ravioli appetizer and the service is always so warm.
I second Smitty's. I was just there again last night, and it's become one of my favourite places in Pasadena. It has a nice cozy Old Hollywood feel, the food is American but EXCELLENT American. I've tried everything on the menu and nothing disappoints. My favourite thing on the menu is a rack of lamb (comes with mashed potatoes and you can order sides to share, steak-house style, I recommend the mushrooms), and that's probably the most expensive thing on the regular menu at around $22. Specials are usually a little more. Salads and appetizers are usually very good with simple fresh produce, better to share a couple with the table since the entrees are quite large. They serve Fosselman's ice cream with dessert, a mark of distinction and very good taste.
Are you familiar with Benley in Long Beach? They are a BYO place with no corkage, so if you can bring a bottle and you will easily stay under $200 for 4 people. Very good food and a Long Beach favorite. (It's quasi-Vietnamese so not really that scary for non-adventurous eaters). Call ahead, I'm not sure if they do reservations and it's a small place (but nice inside).
I also like Cafe Piccolo which has a less adventurous menu and a nice atmosphere (especially the back patio). I think you can stay under $200 for 4 there.
Website for Cafe Piccolo is http://www.cafepiccolo.com/
Benley, a vietnamese kitchen
8191 E Wardlow Rd, Long Beach, CA 90808
Cafe Piccolo
3222 E Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90803
If there's a Cafe Bizou in Pasadena (and I think there is) that might also suit your needs. Though Smitty's sounds nicer (but I haven't been), Bizou has white tableclothes and items like rack of lamb and soup or salad for only a buck or two more.Also, very low corckage if you want to go that route.
go to lucques on sunday for 40 dollar 3 course prix fixe
josie on wednesday for 35 dollar 3 course prix fixe
or jiraffe for 35 dollar 3 course prix fixe
(in this descending order)
and bring a bottle of wine and pay corkage (check price + make sure they don't carry the bottle of wine you intend to bring)
I'm not very familiar with Long Beach, but I have a suggestion in nearby Redondo Beach. Gina Lee's Bistro has excellent food (mostly fish) at an affordable price. It's Asian fusion, so I'm not sure if that would work for you. It doesn't feel quite like a special occasion restaurant, but it has a pretty nice atmosphere for the price point (maybe around $17/entree if I recall correctly?). Another perk is that they will let you bring in a cake with no cake-cutting fee (although I would definitely ask in advance to be polite), which can add to the special occasion feel. I did just that for a graduation dinner with similar budget concerns and I was very happy with the food and the whole experience.
None of these are Pasadena or Long Beach, but you did say that location doesn't matter in the OP...
Nook is nice and certainly wallet-friendly, but I don't know if it's nice enough for your idea of a anniversary present.
Violet on Pico is similar in price range to Nook, and casual as well.
If you feel like driving up the coast (the view increases the enjoyment factor) there's Il Carpaccio.
Upstairs2 is nicer and more pricey, but perhaps accommodating due to small plates.
In Venice, Primitivo could work for small plates as well
We just had a wonderful dinner for four at Neomeze in Pasadena. The cuisine has a Mediterranean flair and is mainly served as small plates to share with the whole table, although I also think they have a selection of more entree-sized portions. The four of us shared about 8 dishes, as well as a couple of deserts. Everything was fantastic, and including the wine for the table, our bill came to 200! These days, that's a great deal!
Le Chef in Norwalk (?) 710 Freeway at Firestone. Excellent and very reasonable. Full bar and nice wine selection. Six of us had apps, dinner, drinks, and bananas flambe prepared table side for under $250.00 with tip. Outstanding hidden gem, hard to find but worth it. It was chosen based on the distance between Walnut and Rancho Palos Verdes.

A tribute to Jessica Lange on her acceptance of the Kirk Douglas Award.
A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
With "The Missing Picture," writer-director Rithy Panh takes a daunting and emotionally draining topic—the atrocities Cambodians suffered under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge—and presents it in a way that's personal, imaginative and even strangely beautiful.
It's a story the documentarian knows all too well because it is his own. Panh was just 13 in 1975 when he and his family were hauled away from their home in Phnom Penh along with million of others to toil in labor camps for the purpose of creating a Communist utopia. "You must embrace the proletarian situation," they're told—the repeated slogans ringing in their ears over loudspeakers as they slave away in the mud and the dirt and the rice fields.
Panh depicts the horrors he suffered and witnessed in a way that makes them unexpectedly accessible: He uses hand-carved, meticulously painted clay figurines, arranged in elaborate dioramas. There are hundreds of them with a wide array of expressions and experiences: women carrying fruit, kids playing with a dog and—once the army invades Cambodia's capital city—armed soldiers and starving, dying workers.
He often juxtaposes and seamlessly integrates these figures with official propaganda clips, highlighting the gaping chasm between spin and reality, as well as with found footage of what life was really like in the camps, day in and day out. Mixed with impressionistic imagery, poetic narration and evocative sound design, the result is disarming in its creativity. ("The Missing Picture" was nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign language film this year; the prize went to Italy's "The Great Beauty.")
With its use of mixed media, Panh's film is reminiscent of other recent documentaries that have explored ugly, violent times in world history from an unexpected perspective. "The Act of Killing," which was nominated for an Oscar in the documentary-feature category this year, depicted Indonesian death-squad leaders reenacting their crimes in theatrical ways. In the animated "Waltz With Bashir," Israeli director Ari Folman revisited fellow veterans of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon to piece together memories of his own actions.
Panh matter-of-factly recalls watching his father choose to starve to death rather than suffer the indignity of eating animal food. Similarly, he remembers daring to break the rules and trap a fish, only to find his mother had died by the time he brought it back for her to eat. But there are a few upbeat memories too. A cluster of colorfully dressed clay figurines stand around a television in a flashback scene, watching the Apollo 11 moon landing. And there's a rare burst of what looks like sheer joy in an archival clip as a bunch of kids at the camp smile and play in the pouring rain.
His approach is thrilling and clearly took an enormous amount of time and painstaking effort. But the novelty of the film's look fades after a while and Panh's storytelling, vivid and harrowing as it is, also ends up feeling redundant and wearying. His use of nearly constant narration—the work of Randal Douc speaking his words in the first person in the French, subtitled version—can be hypnotic in its intimate monotone.
But as an examination of memory and experience and how they shape us, "The Missing Picture" is meaningful beyond its specific subject matter. Panh has stories to tell that will chill you to the bone, but what prompted him to dredge them up is a sensation we'll all experience at some point: He reached middle age and began questioning the purpose of his existence.
"I seek my childhood like a lost picture," Douc says on his behalf in the film's opening voiceover. "Or rather, it seeks me." With "The Missing Picture," Panh sought—and found—his own hard-earned truth.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

November 23, 2014
DETROIT (AP) -- Prosecutor Kym Worthy promised Wednesday not to further delay announcing whether she will bring perjury or other charges against Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former top aide.
Her decision had been expected by the middle of this month, but Worthy pushed the announcement back.
"It will be next week, for sure," the Wayne County prosecutor said.
Worthy has been looking into claims that Kilpatrick and one-time Chief of Staff Christine Beatty lied under oath during a whistle-blowers' trial last summer when they denied having a romantic relationship in 2002 and 2003.
The Detroit Free Press in January reported excerpts of text messages on Beatty's city-issued pager that contradict their testimony.
A perjury conviction for lying under oath could bring up to 15 years in prison and force Kilpatrick to resign.
On Tuesday, the Detroit City Council approved a nonbinding resolution asking Kilpatrick to step down, but he has said repeatedly he won't.
"I'm more focused now than I've ever been in this job," Kilpatrick said after Tuesday's vote. "I think I've grown up a lot in this process, and I think we're moving forward."

While the rest of the motorcycle industry struggles with inflated pricing, Suzuki is offering the 1250cc, full-faired all-rounder GSX1250F for less than £7k. That's partly because mechanically it's almost entirely a Bandit 1250SA – but the fairing and accessories list make it more useful and sportier looking.
1312cc, 57bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
As Japanese customs go, Honda's Fury is arguably the best Harley-Davidson clone to date. Its looks are radical for a Japanese custom, majoring more on a raked-out chopper design than a straightforward custom or cruiser, and Honda America's design team should be applauded for this. Now add an engine that is typical Honda – perfect fuelling, gearbox and gutsy, complete ...
984cc, 84bhp, 120mph, Insurance group
The Buell XB9SX is an oddity. What you get is an old-school v-twin in a high-tech chassis, all wrapped up in a mad-max style urban scrambler. On paper it makes very little sense – a modern naked middleweight out-performs it in every practical way. But it looks great, sounds mean and the handling is sublime. It would be a hard ...
1203cc, 103bhp, 131mph, Insurance group 15
Reworking an existing model to make an all-together different model can work, as Suzuki's Bandit and V-Strom range has shown – add panniers, taller screen, other accessories and they become good budget touring bikes. Buell's take on this is to rework the Ulysses adventure-based bike, add small panniers and top box and hope they can get away with an archaic ...
1125cc, 146bhp, 154.85mph, Insurance group 16
Based on the sports Buell 1125R, the 1125CR is essentially a naked version of the same bike. As it comes it has one-piece handlebars to mimic clip-ons, but the pay-extra upright bars make more sense to ride with – far more comfortable, fits the naked bill. It has the Buell 1125R's full-fat 146bhp engine and, despite its unusual looks, the ...
1125cc, 146bhp, 170mph, Insurance group 15
The Buell 1125R is vastly improved in the six months since its launch in late 2007 but, make no mistake, it is not Japanese or Italian standard in any one area of the bike. The engine is a 131bhp Rotax V-twin that delivers solid punches. But vibration can be an issue, depending on what uprated ECU setting is installed – ...
1063cc, 62bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 11
The Yamaha XVS1100 - a big cruiser of yesteryear is more a mid sized cruiser of today. It's an evolution of Yamaha's long running XV1100 Virago which used to be its custom-style range topper but now it's dwarfed by the near-two litre megacruisers. The Yamaha XVS1100 is somewhat old tech but light weight and manageability are always useful.
996cc, 118bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 15
The Suzuki SV1000 is a purpose built big capacity, sensibly priced, road going sporty V-twin. Ok, the engine's nicked from Suzuki's old TL1000S but the rest of the SV1000 is all-new yet the price tag is very reasonable new or used. The faired Suzuki SV1000 'S' version has lower bars but is the better all-rounder. The unfaired SV1000 with higher bars is a ...
1064cc, 86bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 13
The compact and nimble Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 is a totally different animal to the Moto Guzzi California 1100EV or Moto Guzzi V11, which are that bit harder to ride. The Breva 1100 has a lighter clutch, niftier chassis and smoother V-twin than Moto Guzzis of old. The Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 feels much shorter, carrying its weight that bit lower somehow. The Breva ...
1151cc, 95bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 13
The beleagured but charismatic Italian Moto Guzzi concern has been labelled many things in recent years but 'sports' has never been one of them. In truth, the Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport isn't a sports bike either. Instead it's an aggressively styled roadster using a mix of the latest Breva 1100 and Griso goodies. Too heavy to be a street scalpel, but ...

Originally written on MLB Injury News | Last updated 11/9/14
After designating Clay Rapada for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster, the New York Yankees have now released the lefty. Capada is battling a shoulder injury but was thought to have a chance at remaining on the Yankees' roster. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Andy McCullough of the New Jersey Star-Ledger says the Yankees granted Rapada his unconditional release yesterday. Rapada was dropped from the 40-man roster to make sense for Lyle Overbay. Overbay, of course, was brought on to play first base because of Mark Teixeira's injury. Rapada has pitched in the Majors for six years. He signed with the Yankees in February of 2012 and pitched well for them during the season. Rapada posted a 2.82 ERA in 70 appearances for New York during the 2012 season. Unfortunately, the Yankees' hand was forced. He will find work elsewhere pretty quickly. Rapada has appeared in 148 games with five different teams in his Major League career. He has posted a 4.15 ERA over that time, but the memories of front office personnel are often short. They will see that 2.82 ERA and likely jump at the chance at signing Rapada.

Darwin is talking about the guachos using "lazos" and "bolas". The general idea of the bola is two stones encase in leather, each hitched to the end of an 8 foot rawhide braided thong. They are whirled overhead, and the cast. When the thoong strikes leg of a steer, the balls wrap aound in opposite directions, and grip very firmly.
He also tells about boys catch smaller game with similar devicers, including hares "on their forms". The form is the place where the hare spends his nights and hides during the day. I suppose it gets its name from the fact that it is a snug fit.That is definition 13 in my dictionary.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)
You cannot make yourself the light of the world. Jesus says you are the light of the world because of your relationship with him. "The God who said, 'Out of darkness the light shall shine!' is the same God who made his light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6 TEV).
God speaks the light of Jesus into our hearts, and his light shines so powerfully through us that we are like stars in the universe that point the whole human race toward real life (Philippians 2:15-16).
This is a portrait of discipleship. Jesus, who is the light of the world, re-creates us into the light of the world. We are light, not because of anything in ourselves, but because we are in a supernatural union with the light of the world. He calls us to follow after him, and he says, "Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness" (John 8:12b TEV).
Our focus must always be on the light, humbly trusting Jesus to reveal the light through us. Prayerfully remember:
Your influence and visibility is a result of who lives in you, not because of what you do. It is God who puts you in a place of influence and visibility.
You are merely a steward of your influence and visibility, so it is important you get out of the way and let Jesus work through you.
Only God can measure the significance of your influence and visibility. You may influence one person who will then influence the world. Your focus is on following Jesus wherever he leads.

Venture capitalist Mark Suster believes being a lean startup is related to size and funding levels, rather than speed and product iteration.

Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen to Perform on 100th CFL Grey Cup on NBC, 11/25
NBC Sports Network will telecast the 100th CFL Grey Cup, this Sunday at 6 p.m. ET from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada. The game will feature two of the league's most prominent pocket passers, as Ricky Ray and the Toronto Argonauts take on Kevin Glenn and the Calgary Stampeders.
Ray and the Stampeders are coming off a 35-29 victory over the B.C. Lions in the West Division final, and the Argonauts won a thrilling 27-20 game over the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL East final.
Calgary's last appearance was the 96th Grey Cup in 2008, when the Stampeders beat the Montreal Alouettes 22-14 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Toronto's last trip to the CFL Final was the 92nd Grey Cup in 2004, when the Argonauts beat the BC Lions 27-19 at Frank Clair Stadium in Ottowa. This year's game will be a rematch of the 79th Grey Cup in 1991, when the Argonauts beat the Stampeders 36-21 at Winnepeg Stadium in Winnipeg.
During half-time of the game, Grammy Award-winner Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen will perform a special concert on the field and for viewers at home.
Calling the 100th Grey Cup will be TSN CFL play-by-play veteran Chris Cuthbert. Three-time CFL All-Star Glen Suitor will join Cuthbert as game analyst for the telecast. Sara Orlesky and Farhan Lalji will serve as sideline reporters for the game.
NBC Sports Network telecast 14 CFL games in 2012, including the CFL semifinals and finals. The 2012 schedule included the defending Grey Cup Champion BC Lions, Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Eskimos, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes and the Toronto Argonauts.

Melatonin, the primary hormone of the pineal gland, acts as a powerful "chronobiotic," helping to maintain normal circadian rhythms. In individuals having difficulty sleeping or with altered circadian rhythms, such as occur in jet lag and night shift work, supplementation with melatonin can help provide the resynchronization of those cycles, at amounts ranging from 0.3-8.0 mg. Synthesis of melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan can be decreased by the aging process. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant. Adequate melatonin levels have been reported to be a positive factor cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and bone health.
Melatonin administration exerts a sedative-like effect in amounts of 0.3-5.0 mg. When taken before onset of one's own melatonin secretion, even low amounts of melatonin can promote sleep. Melatonin is thought to potentiate the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via direct interaction with GABA receptors, thus resulting in relaxation. Research indicates melatonin exerts sleep-promoting action by decreasing the time to fall asleep, improving the ability to stay asleep, and enhancing the depth of sleep. Thorne's Melaton-3 supplies 3 mg of melatonin in each capsule. This potency is ideal for those individuals who may require a moderate amount of melatonin.
