SAN FRANCISCO — Golden Gate Bridge toll-takers began handing out cards Wednesday to cash-paying customers letting them know that method of payment no longer will be an option by the end of March.
Golden Gate Bridge officials plan to roll out all-electronic tolls and have set a tentative date of March 27 for it to begin. Before that happens they want to get to the 30 percent of bridge users who still pay their $6 toll by cash.
"We want to target our local, regular cash paying customers," said Mary Currie, bridge district spokeswoman.
The cards, with detailed information on how to sign up for electronic tolls, are being handed out during non-peak periods, when the district sees the most people who pay by cash.
"During the morning commute we have 86 percent of people paying by Fastrak," Currie said. "But the percentage during the midday and weekends is much (lower.)"
Life for those drivers who have Fastrak will remain unchanged when the change occurs; they will continue to pay electronically a discounted $5 to cross the span. But the thousands of people who use cash will have to find a new way to pay.
Cameras at the toll plaza will be used for a "pay-by-plate" system that will assess tolls based on license plate numbers to the registered owner of the vehicle on file with the state Department of Motor Vehicles. Those users will pay $6 per crossing.
The cameras at the toll plaza will record images of license plates. Then electronically, the toll can then be assessed to a license plate account opened online. Paying by credit card online is likely the easiest option, bridge officials said.
Those who do not do anything will be mailed a bill for the toll with a payment due in 21 days.
The district also announced a new website: www.goldengate.org/tolls to provide information to drivers.
While the toll-takers are still on the span, the all electronic toll system is being tested now.
"It has been going very smoothly," said Jessica Handcock, a consultant with Traffic Technologies Inc., which is working with the bridge district on the project.
Golden Gate Bridge officials are eliminating 32 toll-taker positions, among other steps, to help bail the district out of a $66 million budget shortfall over the next five years. When the plan was put into place, there were 28 active toll-takers. Half of those have since retired or have found others jobs within the district, while 14 face layoffs.
While the all-electronic tolls are expected to speed times though the toll plaza, the bridge will lose the human element, bridge officials acknowledged.
"We are losing the face of the district," Currie said.

Mixed Stripe Midi Knit Skirt
Love it
Perfect skirt for a smart, sexy look. Very flattering on any body shape and height. This probably wasn't worth the price I paid for it, but I was lucky to get the last one in my size online.
February 23, 2013
Great flattering skirt.
Really love this skirt! Would it out numerous times already, paired it with a black top, leather jacket, and black booties.
January 30, 2013
Love this skirt!
I purchased this skirt in xxs, I'm 5'2" and 105 lbs. On the model it's up to her knees, on me it's below my knees but you can actually fold the waistband to make it shorter which is great. It shows your every curve, which makes it really sexy.
January 28, 2013
The stripes make this shirt look great!
The skirt really hugs my hips in all the right places. It really accentuates my behind. If BeBe had the same shirt in different colors, I would buy every color. I usually wear a L but bought this product in a M. It fits great!

BHP Memorandum BHP Asset Protection 8 February 1999 TO: Bonnie Predny FROM: Pamela Mott Records Coordinator SEARCH FOR SAN JUAN EXPORTER PHOTOS Bonnie, I spent some time searching the Archives today for information and/or photos on the old Marcona ships. I searched the Index and the card catalog and several drawers and stacks of binders, but I was unable to find the brochure that I showed you. I'm attaching copies of two photos that I did find in a file folder under the title Marcona (uncataloged materials). It is possible there is additional uncataloged materials; however, it would take additional time to check everything in the Archives. There are some articles relating to Marcona Corporation in the old Utah reports (which Jay Rhodes has copies of), so it you wanted to check those out, I could get the references for them and you can check with Jay. I'm quite sure that any additional materials needed could be obtained from Ulrich Deising, as he was the Chief Engineer on the Marcona Exporter (ex San Juan Exporter) and he would have the most knowledge of the ship's historical documentation. Let me know if you want the Utah Report references. Pamela Mott Records Coordinator Enc: Photocopies of San Juan Exporter photos

Homestander: No Bones About It
by Tyler Maas on May 23rd, 2013Each Thursday preceding Brewers weekend home stands, Tyler Maas will help prepare fans for all elements of the upcoming series with the Homestander. Tyler prints Wisconsin-themed shirts at Forward Fabrics and contributes to such fine publications as Milwaukee Magazine and The A.V. Club Milwaukee. All views, naughty words and weirdo sentiments are his own. Follow him at @TylerJamesMaas.
I'm not afraid to admit it. In 2008, after a Ryan Braun home run essentially won the ever-important 162nd game of the Brewers season and FSN (as it was called at the time) stayed live to show fan reaction to the last out of the Mets collapse that landed the Brewers in the playoffs, I wept. I was 23 at the time and in (in true blogger form) in my mom's basement with my family... none of whom particularly care for the Brewers, especially when the rare feat got in the way of a week 4 Packers game. I'm sure it was an odd sight for them, but (as sad as it sounds) I'd never felt such joy in my life in relation to baseball.
I went to Game 5 of the NLDS in 2011. Vince and I shelled out $100 apiece for left field bleacher seats, and Vince quickly abandoned me to watch at Friday's out of nervous habit. When the Crew won in extra innings, I stifled a full-on man-sob as best I could, hugged and high-fived strangers as confetti rained down from the metallic heavens. A few tears cracked through my masculine veneer and rolled down my cheek as I scooped up come confetti and departed.
I swear I'm not that guy who cries over sports stuff usually. I'm aware of the invisible line in the sand that separates being a sports fan and being a sports nut. And I'm sure as hell not that guy who cries over anything. At least I wasn't. You'd think as you get older, it gets easier to hold one's emotions in check. To a certain extent, it does become more manageable to weather the constant blows of life's disappointments. But in another sense, the longer you live on Earth, the more you taken in, the more you're shaped and re-shaped, and the more your emotions are eroded and mutated in the waxing and waning of existence's high and low tides. Occasionally, something small or unexpected can just break you down. Or at least that's what I'm dealing with at 28.
If a Subaru commercial, a line from a Weakerthans song or some god damn sports moment from yet another World Series-less Milwaukee Brewers season can produce ocular moisture, I'm seriously afraid for my tear ducts when I become a father (and all subsequent dad moments), when I get married and when I lose a close friend or relative. This makes me a total wuss and I probably shouldn't have written it. But hey, I'll take the Brewers tears when I can get them. I'll just blame it on allergies or being way too drunk.

I just called - spoke to a rep and asked for the network support group as I wanted to add whole house DVR with an unsupported network. She transferred me and I explained that I wanted to use an unsupported network and was part of the national pre-release program. He said that he has been helping many beta customers (his words, not mine), explained the $3 charge and lack of support, and then added the service. Was done in a little over 8 minutes. Receivers don't show it active yet, but website shows it on my account. He said may take a little bit for receivers to show it as active (I will be restarting them shortly). FWIW, I have Premier, HD, and am grandfathered into free lifetime DVR.
UPDATE: They all work now. :-)
I tried the first regular CSR that answered & I got the run around about upgrading my dish to SWM etc. I kept telling her about the unsupported mode and she put me on hold to check it out and I got disconnected, so I called back & tried the "I need to speak to the network support group" route and Sandra got me up and running in under 13 minutes including wait time with first CSR. (BTW:I thought ethernet/twisted pair wiring is more reliable than coax? Why the push for their networking being better on drops and frame freeze?)
Thanks HofstraJet!
Pretty sweet how far the DirecTV DVRs have come since they first came out.

I'll pick it up if/when it comes to the local game store.

It is the kind of thing I'm likely to pick up to unwind. The artwork sort of takes me back to Peyo and The adventures of Johan and Peewit. Given that it is French, I suppose that would explain the influence.

Grower-shippers reported strong demand for high-quality California stone fruit in the second half of May.
Reedley, Calif.-based Brandt Farms Inc. began shipping yellow peaches April 29, with white peaches, yellow nectarines and white nectarines following in mid-May, said Michael Reimer, vice president of sales.
Reimer reported good quality and size profiles early in the deal.
"The sugars are very high, the color is very high, the packouts are increased," he said.
"Everything looks really good."
Reimer reported a similar product mix for Brandt Farms, with peaches still the dominant stone fruit variety.
Reedley-based Family Tree Farms began shipping white and yellow peaches about May 1, said Dovey Plain, marketing coordinator.
By May, the growing weather had started to stabilize, Plain said.
"We haven't had any hail or anything else severe, but it's been up and down — super hot, then cold," she said.
"It's been a challenge, but I think we're through that."
After a gap on white nectarines in the last days of May, all stone fruit varieties should be shipping in peak volume for Family Tree in June, Plain said.
The company expects normal volumes on all of its stone fruit crops this year.
Plain reported normal sugar levels and overall quality as of May 21.
Family Tree's production will once again lean on its bread-and-butter stone fruit category, white-flesh peaches and nectarines, Plain said.
Reedley, Calif.-based Mountain View Fruit Sales Inc. began packing the first yellow peach in its Summeripe conditioned program, the spring flame 21, on May 21, said Dave Goforth, salesman.
Goforth reports stellar growing weather, with full red color, high sugar levels and sizes peaking on 48s and 56s.
The only possible negative in what has been a strong start to the 2013 season is labor shortages, said Barry Bedwell, president of the Fresno-based California Grape & Tree Fruit League.
Some growers who had hoped to be doing cultural work in May instead have had to concentrate their workers on harvesting, Bedwell said.
Plain reported steady movement in the second half of May, and she expects the same heading into June.
"Some customers shy away from the early deal, but demand has been neck and neck with supply, and we anticipate that's the way it's going to go," she said. "We have a lot pre-sold."
Demand was excellent the week of May 20, Reimer said.
Goforth said delays in southern stone fruit crops are increasing demand for California fruit.
"There's no shortage of demand for California fruit this year."
On May 21, two-layer cartons of yellow-flesh California peaches 48s sold for $35-40 on the Los Angeles terminal market, up from $28-32 last year at the same time.
Brandt Farms expects to begin shipping black splendors and other plums about June 5.
"The sets look good, we should have good volumes," he said. "They're not too heavy. We haven't had to spend too much thinning."
Family Tree reported good sizing and quality on its early plumquats, Plain said.

Review: '42nd Street' is a wonderful musical tribute

It's a high-octane, kick-up-your-heels tap-dancing extravaganza, but "42nd Street" has so much more than fancy footwork going for it.
The sizzling revival of the musical at Theatre at the Center in Munster, Ind., also offers an inspirational, beat-the-odds, showbiz story that is an antidote for our tough times.
Like the 1933 Busby Berkeley film from which the stage musical was adapted by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, "42nd Street" is set against the depths of the Depression.
This makes the musical particularly relevant now.
The show opens as director Julian Marsh has created many jobs for the new musical comedy he plans to open on Broadway.
But one thing after another goes wrong, and when the show's demanding diva breaks a leg, Marsh turns to an inexperienced chorus girl to save the jobs and the show.
There are delicious musical numbers by Harry Warren and Al Dubin in "42nd Street."
"Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo," "You're Getting to be a Habit with Me," "We're in the Money" and the title tune come through with joyful exuberance under William Underwood's masterful musical direction.
There's no doubt that this tap-crazed musical features a dazzling rat-a-tat tap style that is irresistible.
Close your eyes during one of the crescendo chorus-line numbers and you will hear the clicking synchronization of dozens of dancing feet.
It's a credit to choreographer Linda Fortunato and the show's energetic hoofers that the riveting tap is so precision-perfect.
This revival, which has been lovingly directed by William Pullinsi, is a wonderful tribute to the exhilarating excitement of the grand Broadway musicals. It's also a celebration of some exceptional artistic talent.
Nicole Miller dances up a storm as the shy and unknown star-is-born Peggy Sawyer, who has to learn a dozen dance numbers in two days.
But then what woman wouldn't dance her heart out for handsome, golden-voiced Larry Adams, who plays Marsh, the intense theater director in love with musical comedy?
Also contributing choice portraits are Paula Scrofano, who is delightfully comedic as aging diva Dorothy Brock, and Dale Benson, who is a hoot as Abner Dillon, Brock's befuddled sugar daddy.
They don't make great shows like this anymore, which is all the more reason to rush out to see it.
Betty Mohr is a local freelance writer.

National Night Out events tonight
Jul 29, 2013 | 1 Comment
By Starla Pointer
Of the News-Register
Free hamburgers and hot dogs will be served. Booths will offer other snacks for sale, including freezes, cotton candy and snowcones.
Prizes and giveaways are planned. The Hometown Classics Band will perform.
Agency booths will offer safety information, child identification kits and details about Neighborhood Watch programs. Oregon Fish and Wildlife, the Carlton Fire Department and the Oregon National Guard will also have displays, and the National Guard will be setting up a climbing wall. For children, face-painting, basketball, horseback rides and rocket-building will be offered, along with rides in a tethered hot air balloon.
This is the 30th anniversary of National Night Out. The annual prevention effort encourages community members to become acquainted and band together against crime both informally and through the Neighborhood Watch.
National Night Out also strengthens the partnership between police and the community, said Carlton Police Chief Kevin Martinez.
Last year's Carlton-Yamhill National Night Out event won a national award. Martinez said he wants this year's event to be even better, sending the message that fighting crime is a year-round, community effort.
"We want to establish that relationship so if we have problems, we already have a connection that gives us the eyes, ears and knowledge of the community," Martinez said. "Citizens feel safe, it improves livability and we can collectively come together to reduce and prevent crime."
He said a positive, open relationship between police and the community also sends a clear message to criminals: Stay away. "That deters a lot of bad activity," he said.
To volunteer or obtain more information, call the Carlton police at 503-852-7575 or Yamhill police at 503-662-3511.

Books of Poetry for $10 or less...
6 comments:
- Anne said...
Interesting... your book is listed at $12 for me. Amazon does give different prices to different people based on their browsing/buying history; sometimes it pays to clear your browser's cache and look again. :)
(not that it isn't worth $12 or even more! argh, I still need to buy a copy - it's at the very top of my list!) - 10:52 AM, March 02, 2011
- Kells said...
bizarre! I just signed out and signed back in and it upped it to $12! The NERVE!
I didn't turn off my computer last night, I wonder if I got yesterday's prices?! SO weird.
I wonder if any of the others are wrong? - 10:59 AM, March 02, 2011
- Barry Napier said...
Sigh...well, just as my list of Go Buy These was down to 3, you have given m a few more to add to it. That thing will NEVER be cleared off!
Also, if I may, a plug. My book "A Mouth for Picket Fences" is also under 10 (just barely...$9.99) and SHOULD be on Kindle within a few days for $2.99...
Thanks for the suggestions! - 11:08 AM, March 02, 2011
- Kells said...
Your book is going to be available on Kindle?! That's very cool. There aren't many poetry books for sale.
Thanks for mentioning your book, also under $10! - 11:18 AM, March 02, 2011
- Barry Napier said...
Yes, but, as you can imagine, the formatting was a HORRIBLE task. It literally took my publisher (Needfire) to get its poetry titles formatted for Kindle screens. But is IS possible!

Amazon.com has its on-crack aspects. I was ready to comment that Weathered Steps can be purchased for way under $10, but Amazon lists it as $74. Try %6.95 plus tax.

Name: Nipwitz
Nipwitz is a collective of skiers, photographers and film-makers that has started from scratch and over the years has ended up winning awards at film festivals. Since 2009, Nipwitz has produced 12 short films, gotten over a million views and travelled to places like Bosnia, Russia and Estonia. Nipwitz is a series of short documentary films showcasing high skill level skiing and unusual skiing locations. Since the past few years Nipwitz has become quite well known even among people who don't ski. The audience is international and expanding all the time.
Nipwitz's biggest passion is to use urban infrastructure for skiing and to document it with photos and films. Skiing is the perfect excuse to travel to new cities in different countries and search for skiing spots. During these trips you usually get to see the city from a new perspective, which doesn't happen during holiday visits. One of the most interesting parts is also the meetings with local people. Sometimes they welcome us with open arms, sometimes with a knife in their hands. Nipwitz documents the trips subjectively based on the groups' own experiences.
The aim is to produce video content for people who are not necessarily ski enthusiasts. Nipwitz is a pioneer in the field of ski webisodes. It has set a new standard and inspired other video producers. During 2012-2014 Nipwitz will be producing it's final and the most ambitious film project "Brain Massage".

The directions given to Ruth by Naomi. (1-5) Boaz acknowledges the duty of a kinsman. (6-13) Ruth's return to her mother-in-law. (14-18)
Verses 1-5 The married state should be a rest, as much as any thing upon earth can be so, as it ought to fix the affections and form a connexion for life. Therefore it should be engaged in with great seriousness, with earnest prayers for direction, for the blessing of God, and with regard to his precepts. Parents should carefully advise their children in this important concern, that it may be well with them as to their souls. Be it always remembered, That is best for us which is best for our souls. The course Naomi advised appears strange to us; but it was according to the laws and usages of Israel. If the proposed measure had borne the appearance of evil, Naomi would not have advised it. Law and custom gave Ruth, who was now proselyted to the true religion, a legal claim upon Boaz. It was customary for widows to assert this claim, ( Deuteronomy 25:5-10 ) . But this is not recorded for imitation in other times, and is not to be judged by modern rules. And if there had been any evil in it, Ruth was a woman of too much virtue and too much sense to have listened to it.
Verses 6-13 What in one age or nation would be improper, is not always so in another age or another nation. Being a judge of Israel, Boaz would tell Ruth what she should do; also whether he had the right of redemption, and what methods must be taken, and what rites used, in order to accomplishing her marriage with him or another person. The conduct of Boaz calls for the highest praise. He attempted not to take advantage of Ruth; he did not disdain her as a poor, destitute stranger, nor suspect her of any ill intentions. He spoke honourably of her as a virtuous woman, made her a promise, and as soon as the morning arrived, sent her away with a present to her mother-in-law. Boaz made his promise conditional, for there was a kinsman nearer than he, to whom the right of redemption belonged.
Verses 14-18 Ruth had done all that was fit for her to do, she must patiently wait the event. Boaz, having undertaken this matter, would be sure to manage it well. Much more reason have true believers to cast their care on God, because he has promised to care for them. Our strength is to sit still, ( Isaiah 30:7 ) . This narrative may encourage us to lay ourselves by faith at the feet of Christ: He is our near Kinsman; having taken our nature upon him. He has the right to redeem. Let us seek to receive from him his directions: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? ( Acts 9:6 ) . He will never blame us as doing this unseasonably. And let us earnestly desire and seek the same rest for our children and friends, that it may be well with them also.
Ruth 3:1-13 . BY NAOMI'S INSTRUCTIONS, RUTH LIES AT BOAZ'S FEET, WHO ACKNOWLEDGES THE DUTY OF A KINSMAN.
2. he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor--The winnowing process is performed by throwing up the grain, after being trodden down, against the wind with a shovel. The threshing-floor, which was commonly on the harvest-field, was carefully leveled with a large cylindric roller and consolidated with chalk, that weeds might not spring up, and that it might not chop with drought. The farmer usually remained all night in harvest-time on the threshing-floor, not only for the protection of his valuable grain, but for the winnowing. That operation was performed in the evening to catch the breezes which blow after the close of a hot day, and which continue for the most part of the night. This duty at so important a season the master undertakes himself; and, accordingly, in the simplicity of ancient manners, Boaz, a person of considerable wealth and high rank, laid himself down to sleep on the barn floor, at the end of the heap of barley he had been winnowing.
4. go in, and uncover his feet and lay thee down--Singular as these directions may appear to us, there was no impropriety in them, according to the simplicity of rural manners in Beth-lehem. In ordinary circumstances these would have seemed indecorous to the world; but in the case of Ruth, it was a method, doubtless conformable to prevailing usage, of reminding Boaz of the duty which devolved on him as the kinsman of her deceased husband. Boaz probably slept upon a mat or skin; Ruth lay crosswise at his feet--a position in which Eastern servants frequently sleep in the same chamber or tent with their master; and if they want a covering, custom allows them that benefit from part of the covering on their master's bed. Resting, as the Orientals do at night, in the same clothes they wear during the day, there was no indelicacy in a stranger, or even a woman, putting the extremity of this cover over her.
9. I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman--She had already drawn part of the mantle over her; and she asked him now to do it, that the act might become his own. To spread a skirt over one is, in the East, a symbolical action denoting protection. To this day in many parts of the East, to say of anyone that he put his skirt over a woman, is synonymous with saying that he married her; and at all the marriages of the modern Jews and Hindus, one part of the ceremony is for the bridegroom to put a silken or cotton cloak around his bride.
15. Bring the veil that thou hast upon thee, and hold it--Eastern veils are large sheets--those of ladies being of red silk; but the poorer or common class of women wear them of blue, or blue and white striped linen or cotton. They are wrapped round the head, so as to conceal the whole face except one eye.
17. six measures of barley--Hebrew, "six seahs," a seah contained about two gallons and a half, six of which must have been rather a heavy load for a woman.

Zac Brown Band is a country band comprised of Coy Bowles, Zac Brown, Clay Cook, Jimmy De Martini, Chris Fryar and John Driskell Hopkins. Embodying the country music sound combined with the jam band vibe, Zac Brown Band appeals to a wide audience. Dedicated to bringing the highest level of musicianship to their audiences, Brown and the band tour on average 200 days out of the year. With a schedule like that there is no excuse not to check out the smooth reggae, bluegrass tinted tunes; get your Zac Brown Band tickets today! While Brown has an extended musical background beginning with guitar lessons at age seven and continuing to classical voice lessons at the collegiate level, the Zac Brown Band only got its start in 2002. The want to perform at a consistently elevated level and to deliver that energy to listeners drove Brown to seek out a handful of musicians that embodied the same musical ideals. Once formed Zac Brown Band exploded onto the scene with tours that were loaded with concert performance dates. Taking time out only to record and release albums "Far from Einstyne" 2004, "Home Grown" 2005, "The Foundation" 2008 and "You Get What You Give" 2010, the band has continued to tour at a frenzied pace. Soon after the release of "Home Grown" the band performed at the 2006 Bonnaroo Music Festival, exposing the boys to an even wider audience set. In 2008 the band's first single "Chicken Fried" hit the country music charts followed by singles "Whatever It Is," "Toes" and "Highway 20 Ride" topping the U.S. and Canadian charts. Zac Brown Band played subsequent Bonnaroo lineups in 2009 and 2010, as well as performing with Dave Matthews Band. A star that exemplifies a similar Caribbean, laid-back vibe, Jimmy Buffett made an appearance on "Knee Deep," a single off the band's 2010 album. With all of the band's musical and philosophical depth and breadth, amazingly they are still tucked away neatly into the country music genre. Known for their love of the concertgoers, the band does not disappoint. Reviews praise the band's energy and stage presence, crowning them a great live concert experience! Grab your opportunity to experience the vibe when you buy your Zac Brown Band concert tickets today!

Very few of them ever play professional football.
Ben Stallings has enjoyed much success playing on the pro level in the Arena Football League. Stallings, who played high school football at Bayou Academy and Indianola Academy and college ball at Delta State University and Lambuth, will be entering his third season with the Utah Blaze when the season starts on March 23 against the Pittsburgh Power.
Stallings, 25, has had a great career in the Arena League. The Boyle native has rushed for 337 yards with 23 touchdowns on 91 carries. Last season, he rushed for 129 yards with seven touchdowns on 43 carries as the Blaze advanced all the way to the semifinals of the Arena Football League Playoffs. The Blaze, who finished last year with a 12-6 record, lost to the eventual Arena League Champion Arizona Rattlers 75-69 in their semifinal contest. Stallings has already become the all-time leading rusher in the history of the Utah franchise.
"It's been a huge experience," Stallings said. "Coming in as a rookie and playing for one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Tommy Grady, was big. Coming in and being able to protect him and have the best offense in the league for the past two years has been a great experience. You get the results of being in the best offense for two years in a row. It's a good thing and a good feeling to be able to accomplish that."
Stallings said when he first began his career at Utah, the Blaze weren't exactly a winning team as they were 2-14 in 2010.
"The coaches up there really had a big impact on me coming down there," Stallings said. "Ron McBride is a legend. He's coached on every college level, and he was my line coach. He was kind of old school. The first year I was there we went 9-9. Last year, we went 12-6 and made it to the semifinals and got beat."
Through out his playing career, Stallings has had to learn to adapt to the speed of the game on each level he has advanced to.
"I went from playing in private school football to Delta State football and the speed of the game was 100 percent faster. Moving from college to the next level is another 100 percent faster," Stallings said with a chuckle. "There's not time to think and say 'okay what do I need to do better?' It's like you better get the job done now or you're not going to have a spot to play."
Another adjustment that Stallings had to make as far as playing Arena League is getting used to the size of the playing field. On a regular football field, the playing surface is 100 yards with 10-yard end zones. In Arena League, it is 50 yards with 8-yard end zones. The shorter field has a major impact in the scoring off a typical Arena League game.
"The dimensions of the field are smaller and it makes it a little easier to score for the offense, but the first linebacker I ever went up against was a fifth round draft pick for the Cleveland Browns," Stallings said. "So, the athletes are just as quick (as they are in the NFL), but the field is twice as small. That's why we say our game is a lot faster than the NFL."
Last year, the Blaze ranked third out of 17 Arena League teams in scoring offense by scoring an average of 62.7 points per game. To give an example of how many points are scored in Arena League, the Kansas City Command ranked last in the league in scoring offense by averaging 39.2 points per game.
Stallings said one key stop by the defense can make a huge difference in the game.
"We've scored 10 out of 11 drives before and lost the football game," Stallings said. "We had 11 drives in a game and we lost because we missed one of those drives and didn't score a touchdown. It's a offensive game, and our defense has to be super aggressive in order to win."
In the regular season the past two years, the Blaze has played in 18 regular season games each year. Last year, the Blaze had one stretch where they played 11 weeks in a row after an off week. On this year's schedule, Utah will have an off week after the third game and will play 15 weeks in a row after that.
Stallings said it has taken a lot of work to stay in shape.
"It's a everyday grind," Stallings said. "You've got to work at it every single day. When you get five games in, from there on out, your body realizes what I'm I doing. Your knees — you can barely get out of bed. We're lucky to get a one-week break during the season.
"There's nothing like it, but it's kind of fun because you're around a group of men that know what it takes to finish and get to where we're trying to go. When you're around a team with the same ultimate goal, it's a lot more fun than saying my body hurts," Stallings added.
Stallings has stayed around the game during the offseason. This past year, he served as an assistant football coach on East Side's staff. The Trojans had a great year as they went 14-1 and advanced all the way to the 3A North Half Title game.
Before the football season began, Stallings talked with East Side High School Principal Dr. Randy Grierson and East Side head football coach Roger Burton and he was given the chance to join the Trojans' coaching staff.
"They gave me the opportunity to get on the coaching side of things," Stallings said. "They gave me the opportunity to teach the kids things that I've learned from a lot of great coaches."
Stallings said coaching at East Side has helped give him a new appreciation for the game and a great respect for everyone in the coaching profession.
"It's funny," Stallings said," because all the coaches that have actually coached me are sitting here telling you to be able to look yourself in the mirror tomorrow and know that you've played the last game and left it on the field. You turnaround and you come back to Cleveland, Mississippi, and you're telling these kids the same exact thing. I don't know what it is, but when I was younger I knew what he was saying but I didn't really process it until it actually happened.
"You just try to do your best to teach the kids that no matter what kind of adversity strikes on the football field, you've got to fight through it and get to the top," Stallings added.
Stallings has been taking classes at Delta State University and has finally earned his bachelor's degree in general business and administration.
He said he would love to be a head football coach in the future and be an athletic director at a school.
Stallings said he is planning on being back in Utah by Jan. 3.

Ad-Aware 10: Something completely different
The bottom line: The new owners of Lavasoft have revamped Ad-Aware to the point where it has almost nothing in common with its predecessors besides function. It's a good reboot, but it's not out of the woods yet.
Review: While the name Ad-Aware remains the same as it has for the past 13 years, everything from the user interface to the code powering Ad-Aware 10 is entirely new.

By Susanna Tol - Also in the world of climate change, organic is the way to go. I am not writing about organic food here, despite my personal interest in the topic, but about peatlands, which are soils with a substantial layer of organic matter at or near the surface. Well, they are the way to go for the climate as long as you treat them well. If not, they become a vigorous source of greenhouse gas emissions.

By Telly Kurniasari & Reza Lubis, Wetlands International Indonesia
Back in 2002, Wetlands International together with local partners and communities in Jambi, South Sumatra and Central Kalimantan, brought international attention to the disproportionally high Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from peatlands in Indonesia. We have shown that emissions cease when blocking the drainage canals so peatlands become wet again. We did not think that it would take more than ten years for Indonesian Government to actually replicate what we did back then but are very happy this seems to change.

"The wave was higher than the trees. The sea came right over the village. Every building was destroyed, including all 300 houses. About 180 people were killed, more than half the population. The only people who survived were those who ran for the hills." That's how they tell it in the cafe at the entrance to Keude Unga on Aceh's west coast, which took the full brunt of the tsunami. by Fred Pearce

when I was 18 and in the navy on a destroyer, the head had 3 toilets side by side separated only by a narrow wall. The two showers were directly opposite. When you sat on the bowl your head was about half a foot from the shower. One of the showers had a curtain that didnt close all the way. If you sat on the bowl opposite you could look in and have a full view of the guy in there. I say many beautiful cocks, balls and asses on these 18 to 25 years olds. One guy in particular, about 19 yrs old, had a beautiful firm ass, thick cock, hairy bush and low hanging balls. Im not sure, but I think he knew I could see and maybe liked to perform. He spend a lot of time washing his balls and bending over to wash his asshole. I saw him many times and did a lot of jerking off remembering him and the others.
Only had one gay experience in the Navy though. When walking in Norfolk down the street that had a gay bar (I was too afraid then to go into a gay bar or admit to my desire for men), a goodlooking guy,about 20 years old, smiled as he passed me and then followed me to the coffee shop. He asked if he could join me at the table. He invited me to his room at a local hotel for a beer.I went with him. I sat on the bed and he sat next to me and put his hand on my leg. I didnt move and he then felt me up, pulled my pants down and sucked me off. I was too young and afraid of being gay to do anything back. After I came, I felt ashamed and put my clothes on and left.

Maybe. If you ask a pregnant mom, she might well say yes. And some studies back up that perception, but others don't. The only thing definite is that plenty of people are working on an answer to the question.
In a 1993 study of pregnant women in England, 81 percent rated their memory as being impaired, and the results of the testing proved them right: The women – in all trimesters – had a significantly harder time recalling a list of words than women who weren't pregnant.
A 2008 Australian study analyzed 14 international studies involving more than 1,000 women and found that memory is impaired during pregnancy – and for up to a year after the baby arrives. But the effect is minor, according to the study, and it's related to new or demanding memory tasks, such as multitasking, rather than routine tasks.
By contrast, in a 2008 study conducted by the Australian National University, pregnant women scored the same on logic and memory tests as they did before they were pregnant – and their scores were on par with those of women who were not pregnant.
Why a pregnant mom might be more forgetful is also being studied. Possibilities include hormonal changes, disruption in routines, shortage of sleep, and simply being preoccupied.
