The world of golf shafts can be very overwhelming, but it's worth gaining general knowledge on the subject. After all, the shafts don't only attach the grip to the club head; the correct shaft can completely change the performance of your entire set.
Companies like Matrix have made the process of choosing the correct shaft much easier. They offer three different profiles that produce three different results. Black Tie for low trajectory (less spin), White Tie for high trajectory (more spin) and Red Tie for middle of the road. These Matrix shafts are stock for the Adams Super S line of drivers, fairway woods and hybrids.
For irons, steel shafts lead the field because of their dependability. However, you must pay attention to the weight of your steel shafts. KBS being one company that sells their shafts in 5-gram increments ranging from 90-130 grams gives them the ability to fit nearly any golfer. Tour players tend to prefer heavier shafts because of their higher swing speeds, while amateurs may benefit from something lighter. The lightest steel shaft you will find is 75 grams offered by both True Temper and Nippon.
Graphite iron shafts have long been considered "wimpy," but Aerotech, a Washington based company is changing that stereotype with their SteelFiber shaft. This shaft combines steel and graphite giving you the strength of steel, while reducing the vibration felt from impact.
Club fitters today have ways to find the best shaft for your individual swing. I recommend taking a little bit of knowledge long with you to your next appointment. You will have a better understanding of what a shaft is supposed to do for your golf game without being completely overwhelmed by the science behind it all.

Whether you are playing for sizeable check against the best in the world, or you have to settle a bet with your buddies on a Saturday afternoon, chances are, it will come down to how good you are around the greens. Making a player's wedges some of their most important clubs in the bag.
Back in January of 2010 the USGA implemented the "New Groove Rule," changing the specifications of groove depth, width and spacing. Consequently, this made it harder for a player to spin the ball out of the rough, especially in wet conditions. Ever since, manufacturers have been working on ways to bridge the gap, while still conforming to the rules.
Recently Callaway has made a splash with their new MacDaddy2 wedges. The new design uses Laser Milled Micro Grooves for added surface roughness giving you more control, as well as a 5V groove pattern giving you larger grooves for more spin out of the rough. They are available in three different sole grinds for enhanced performance and two different finishes to fit your eye.
Cleveland has released its 588 RTX wedges featuring a directionally milled face pattern giving maximum spin, especially on shots that require an open face, calling it a Rotex pattern. They too have increased the size of their U grooves allowing for more precision and spin out of the rough and sand. Their surface roughness and milling plays to dual role; creating more friction for control as well as lengthening the life of the club. Cleveland offers this wedge in one grind they call an S Sole, wider at the heel and narrow at the toe to improve bunker play.
Keep these little pieces of information handy next time you plan to invest in your golf game. A new set of wedges just might make you a little extra dough when it comes time to settle your bets next Saturday.

Meet One of Our 2011 Style Council Girls, Elisa!
Hey, it's Elisa here! I would call my style "edgy chic," yet there's always room for glitz & glamour. Personally, I enjoy the color black only because you can mix and match so many items with it trust me it's not just a dark, dreary color. Whenever I put together an outfit I have at least one item that pops! I love to add accessories to my outfits, whether its a scarf, a bow tie, studs, cute beaded bracelets, necklaces, or rings. What's great about those items is that you can find them anywhere like in department stores and little boutiques.
If anyone knows me, they know that I'm known for my sunglasses. Gold glasses, silver glasses, black glasses any type work. When you're feeling sluggish and you're not trying to get dressy for the day, quickly throw on some hot shades and you'll still be stylish! You can find sunglasses anywhere nowadays, especially since spring is coming fast. Places like H&M and of course my personal favorite American Apparel (which has GOT to have the bombest sunglasses and regular glasses!). My motto is not to let anyone tell you how to dress, as long as you are comfortable in your OWN clothes thats all that matters. So, go on and walk with your head up!
Click on some links of cute beaded bracelets, studs, necklaces, and rings I love to rock!

Recent mathematical developments in the field of 2D correlation spectroscopy, especially those related to the statistical theory, are reported. The notion of correlation phase angle is introduced. The significance of correlation phase angle between dynamic fluctuations of signals measured at two different spectral variables may be linked to more commonly known statistical concepts, such as coherence and correlation coefficient. This treatment provides the direct mathematical connection between the synchronous 2D correlation spectrum with a continuous form of the variance-covariance matrix. Moreover, it gives the background for the formal definition of the disrelation spectrum, which may be used as a heuristic substitution for the asynchronous 2D spectrum. The 2D correlation intensity may be separated into two independent factors representing the normalized extent of signal fluctuation coherence (i.e., correlation coefficient) and the magnitude of spectral intensity changes (i.e., variance). Such separation offers a convenient way to artificially enhance the discriminating power of 2D correlation spectra.

KORAPUT: Jailed Chasi Muliya Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) advisor Gananath Patra has alleged massive irregularities in Koraput district jail.
Patra, who is in the jail as an undertrial prisoner since 2010 for his alleged involvement in a series of offensives executed by the Maoist-backed tribal outfit in the district, said at least 25 inmates have died in the jail in the past four years due to negligence of jail authorities.
"The inmates are supplied with poor quality rice at the jail. The cooked rice served to the inmates is not eatable. Unable to eat, most of the inmates throw the rice," Patra said during his appearance at a Jeypore court on Wednesday.
According to the Sangh leader, though the jail authorities engage inmates in growing vegetables on the jail premises, the vegetables are never used in the food prepared for the inmates. "Jail authorities earn handsomely by selling the vegetables grown in the jail but never cook it for the inmates. The inmates are served with inferior quality food," he said.
Sources said, against a given strength of 657, over 700 inmates are housed in the jail at any given point in time. Partra alleged medical attention is not provided to the inmates living in overcrowded conditions.
"Timely medical attention is not provided to the inmates due to non-availability of doctors. Jail authorities always ignore ailing inmates till their condition becomes serious. They always shift inmates in serious condition to the district headquarters hospital where the patients rarely survive. Jail authorities always try to suppress the matter, citing the reason of the deaths as cardiac arrest," he said.
Koraput jail superintendent Brahmananda Sahu, however, brushed off Patra's allegations, saying, "The allegations brought by the Sangh leader are baseless. We receive the rice served to the inmates from the government and the menu prepared by the state government for the inmates is strictly followed in the jail." He added, "As the regular doctor of the jail is on leave, another doctor has been appointed to look after the inmates' health."

Property owners may look up their fees using the online Clean Water Act FEE LOOKUP TOOL. This tool allows you to search for your property and obtain a detailed record of information on your fees, for example:
---The breakdown of the fee components (the administrative fee, impervious area impact fee, and total fee),
---The amount of impervious surface area charged to the property (in Equivalent Service Units, 1 ESU = 2,465 square feet),
---The Tier designation (e.g. Tier one, two, or three for residential; "Direct Measure" of impervious area for other types of uses),
---The property's assigned zoning classification (e.g. R-R for rural residential), and
---The state's Assessor Zone Code or AZC*, which indicates (in most cases) how the property is being used, e.g. industrial, farm, commercial.
*Note: the Assessor Zone Codes are used as the basis for the Clean Water Act Fees when the zoning does not relate to the direct use of the property. For example, a property zoned R-80 (tier 2 residential) may actually be used as a commercial lot. This property would have an AZC of 005 which indicates that the use of the property is commercial. For Clean Water Act Fee purposes, the property would then be directly measured for impervious area rather than falling under the residential tier 2 category.
For help with the online lookup tool, please contact the Stormwater Management Division at (301) 883-5833.

Other Events, Financial Statements and Exhibits
As previously reported, since July 2011, Emerson Radio Corp. (the "Company") has been a defendant in a lawsuit known as Fred Kayne, et al., vs. Christopher Ho, et al. (the "Kayne Litigation") which was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging, among other things, that the Company, certain of its present and former directors and other entities or individuals now or previously associated with The Grande Holdings Limited (In Liquidation) ("Grande"), intentionally interfered with the ability of the plaintiffs to collect on a judgment they had against Grande. As of November 2014, such judgment, with interest, totaled approximately $60 million. Grande is the ultimate corporate parent of the Company's majority shareholder, S&T International Distribution Limited. The plaintiffs in the Kayne Litigation (the "Plaintiffs") pursued their claims against the Company largely on the basis of their allegation that the Company was an "alter ego" of Grande because it was part of a "single enterprise" purportedly controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Grande, Christopher Ho.
After the commencement of the Kayne Litigation trial, which began on December 3, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the Plaintiffs, effective as of December 19, 2013, for reasons of economy and finality, the terms and facts of which may not be construed as an admission by any party as to the merits of any of the claims or defenses resolved therein, which fully resolves and settles all outstanding and potential claims against the Company in the Kayne Litigation without acknowledging or attributing fault or liability on the part of the Company.
In deciding that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders
to enter into the Settlement Agreement, the Company's Board considered the
contingent risk that in the event that an adverse judgment of as much as $60
million was issued against the defendants by the Court in the Kayne Litigation:
(i) that judgment would be enforceable on a "joint and several" basis, such that
the entire judgment against all defendants could be enforced, in its entirety,
against a single defendant; (ii) that as the only U.S. based defendant in the
Kayne Litigation, the Company faced a considerable risk that any such judgment
would be enforced against it alone; (iii) that in that event, the Company would
face significant legal and practical obstacles in seeking to pursue claims for
contribution against the other defendants; and (iv) that the Company would also
face significant obstacles in pursuing the appeal of such a judgment because an
appeal would require the Company to post collateral sufficient to secure an
appeal bond with a face amount in excess of $60 million.
The Settlement Agreement provided for a cash payment of $4.0 million (the "Settlement Amount") to be paid by the Company to the Plaintiffs, which represents less than 7% of the potential liability the Company faced from an adverse judgment. The Board believed it was prudent to settle for this relatively small amount due to the factors discussed above as well as the uncertainty of the trial outcome in view of the judge's previous denial of several motions by the Company to dismiss the "alter ego" claims and denial of the Company's motion for summary judgment. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, payment of the Settlement Amount was made by the Company via wire transfer to the Plaintiffs' attorney's trust account on December 23, 2013, which payment shall remain in trust, and will not be released from trust to the Plaintiffs until such time as the Company makes an application to the Court to approve the Settlement Agreement as a "good faith" settlement under California law and such application is granted by the Court. On January 13, 2014, the Company filed such application seeking the Court's approval of the Settlement Agreement as a "good faith" settlement. In the event that the Court does not approve this Settlement Agreement as a "good faith" settlement, then, per the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Plaintiffs' attorney shall immediately, upon the Company's demand, return the Settlement Amount to the Company and the Settlement Agreement and all of its provisions shall be null and void and the Plaintiffs shall have the right to resume the trial of the matter against the Company.
The payment of the Settlement Amount by the Company is expected to result in the recognition of a $4.0 million expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, which would represent a material adverse effect to the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and for the fiscal year which will end on March 31, 2014. The Company does not expect that the payment of the Settlement Amount will have a material adverse effect on its working capital, liquidity or ability to fund its operations.
The foregoing summary of the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

As founder and President of Kidrobot, Paul Budnitz has surfed the rising crest of the limited-edition art toy and streetwear wave. Not only is he the co-designer of Kidrobot's signature Dunny toy and Munny, he also art directs, co-designs, and collaborates with many of today's leading plastic and vinyl toy artists including Dalek, Frank Kozik, and Gary Baseman to create the majority of toys sold by Kidrobot. The son of a nuclear physicist and a social worker, Budnitz grew up in Berkeley, California. By 15 he was writing computer code for video games and safety analysis programs for nuclear power plants. He studied photography, sculpture, and film at Yale University, graduating with honors in Fine Art in 1990. In 1997 he founded Minidisco.com, a digital recording website for which he wrote back-end software enabling him to run the multimillion-dollar business out of his home. He sold Minidisco in 2002 and immediately founded Kidrobot which in five years has grown from a single online store to a multi-million dollar creative corporation that runs three store-galleries in the United States--San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City (with more on the way)--wholesales its line of twenty toys and clothing to over 250 stores worldwide, and maintains a staff of forty. In this interview Steve Heller talks to the designer/entrepreneur in his New York office, where surrounded by vinyl and hoodies he reflects on the state of this burgeoning art the status of his business.

PHOTO: The Black Pearl arrives in Hawaii for Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" 4
by: Derek Paivaposted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 at 01:25 PM
The Black Pearl that's here for On Stranger Tides isn't actually a real sailing ship. It's a tall ship set constructed over the hull of another vessel, the Sunset, which once earned its keep as a service ship for Gulf of Mexico oil platforms. Fully motorized—and obviously able to handle its recent journey across the Pacific from California to Hawaii like a champ—the ship set was also used in the second and third Pirates flicks Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.
The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides production is expected to generate an estimated $85 million in total spending while filming in Hawaii.
On board again are Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush as Sparrow nemesis Captain Hector Barbossa, blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer and screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. New to the Pirates cast and crew for On Stranger Tides are director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) and actors Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane (Deadwood).
On Stranger Tides has been slated for a May 20, 2011, release. Kauai and Oahu filming locations have not been announced.

Comparing commissioners' words and positions then and now
After having recently served on the Fayette County Board of Commissioners, I was frankly astounded by the contents of the various stories and letters involving Commission Chairman Steve Brown that were included in the March 13th edition of The Citizen.
After reading the paper, I was for some reason transported back in time to my high school days when I was required to read George Orwell's book, "1984." It seems that I had finally found the whereabouts of the Ministry of Truth after all of these years.
In Chairman Brown's letter to the paper, it was remarkable to hear him reiterate all of the reasons that Commissioners Hearn, Frady and Horgan considered when creating the Stormwater Utility at the Commission meeting that occurred on Sept. 22, 2011. These were the three individuals that had the political courage to do the right thing and "not to kick the can down the road," to use the words of Commissioner McCarty recently.
If one looks at the minutes for that meeting, they will find that Commissioners Brown and McCarty voted in opposition to the motion.
In reviewing those minutes, one also needs to read the comments from now Commissioner Ognio where he is quoted as saying, "If the Board of Commissioners approves the stormwater tax, it was clear that the commissioners do not care about the citizens of Fayette County."
Now that these Ministers of Truth have a majority on the Board of Commissioners, one has to ask what is the reason for Chairman Brown's letter to the newspaper and the three stormwater "dog and pony" town hall meetings that are being held.
With Commissioners Brown, McCarty and Ognio already on record as being against the Stormwater Utility tax, why don't they simply vote to rescind the previous board's decision to create the stormwater utility and send the taxpayers their money back?
But even more of a concern to me as a taxpayer of Fayette County and the potential impact on the services that I receive were the comments that Chairman Brown had about a "budget crackdown."
Again, when Commissioners Hearn, Frady and Horgan were in office, they and their professional staff had thoroughly researched the question of what was a fair and equitable distribution of the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) with the cities.
The old commission had even gone the extra mile to hire an outside consultant with expertise in this field to assist in determining what was fair given all of the criteria that needed to be considered under the applicable state statutes.
Based on that in-depth analysis and review of existing case law, the issue had been turned over to the court system to determine whose position was most fair.
Immediately after the new commissioners were sworn in, they and their new "smoke and mirrors" county administrator chose to negotiate with the cities before the case could be heard. As a result of that decision, the new board decided to give the cities more than $14.5 million of tax monies that the previous board and staff believed belongs to the county taxpayers.
At the Board of Commissioners meeting on March 14, I was in attendance and requested that the board and county administrator provide all of the financial information that they used in rendering their decision to ignore the in-house research and consultant report that had been prepared at taxpayer expense.
But more importantly in terms of transparency, I asked that they put all of this information on their website so that all of the taxpayers can see the data and reach their own conclusions about the board's secret negotiations.
Given that he receives about three times the tax benefits from the new distribution formula than the unincorporated-county resident does, I can certainly see why the former mayor of Peachtree City chose to not let the courts decide what was fair.
At the commission meeting on May 10, 2012, now-Commissioner David Barlow expressed his concerns "on the lack of accountability and transparency in Fayette County government."
Since there has been no public discussion of this matter and only a secret vote taken, one would think that Commissioner Barlow would seize this opportunity to be transparent and be accountable for his actions that have a long-term impact on the financial condition of the county.
And to quote from Commissioner McCarty from the meeting on May 10, 2012 concerning a different issue with long-term financial impacts, "We need to have it enlightened so that the bottom line on the last day is clear."
One of the other things that I would like to address with the Ministers of Truth is the purposely misleading scare tactics used by chairman concerning "deficit budgeting."
Using Newspeak as his primary language now, the chairman would have everyone believe that Fayette County is like the federal government that simply spends money that it does not have.
In the past — contrary to what you are being told — the Board of Commissioners has been very judicious in their use of taxpayers' monies and its budgeting practices. As a result, the county had on hand at June 30, 2012 financial resources in the General Fund equal to about $34.4 million.
With the final expenditure budget for the General Fund for the 2012 fiscal year totaling $47.2 million, that level of fund balance means that there is adequate monies to pay for about nine months of operations if no other revenues were received.
All of this information that I am providing can be easily verified by looking at the audited financial statements that are available on the county's website.
When the chairman refers to the evils of "deficit budgeting," he really means that the previous board decided that it was in their opinion in the best interest of the taxpayers who were having financial difficulties because of the economy to use a portion of that fund balance to offset the cost of the services that needed to be provided.
The board was simply using monies collected in previous years when economic times were good to help offset the impact on our taxpayers when times got tough for them.
One would think that the average citizen would appreciate a board that works towards sustainability of their services and has their best interests at heart.
On the other hand, there are those whose only purpose in life is to misrepresent the facts for their own political purposes and grandstanding.
If one looks at the minutes of the meeting for May 10, 2012, you will see that Commissioner Brown made the motion and Commissioner McCarty seconded it to spend $200,000 from fund balance for asphalt and tack for the Road Department. In their best Newspeak terms, it would be great if these two Commissioners could explain why that is not evil "deficit budgeting."
Given the real facts about the financial status of our county and the actions of the new board, I would strongly suggest that Sheriff Babb, Ms. Studdard, Mr. Wingo and the other constitutional officers that have been elected by the citizens to provide critical services tell the "we at the county" that they want the same budget opportunities for their offices that the board has seen fit to grant themselves.
And given the obscene salary and benefits wasted to hire a "smoke and mirrors" county administrator and a nonpublic vote to give the cities $14.5 million, it is really hard to tell someone that puts their life on the line or dutifully provides critical services for the citizens on a daily basis that they need to take a furlough day because Commissioners Brown and McCarty didn't see it in their best political interests to adjust the millage rate last year to compensate for a declining tax digest.
As a taxpayer and voter, I would expect you to send Mr. Rapson a budget that contained what was needed to run your office in an efficient manner.
When it is all said and done, it was Commissioners Brown and McCarty that chose not to adjust the millage rate last year and to deceive the taxpayers into thinking that they could simply pay less for the services that they received. Now, the chairman and this board wants the employees and the citizens to pay for their political hay.
In closing there is still one thing that remains a puzzle to me, I can't figure out for the life of me how George Orwell knew Steve Brown. When reading Chairman Brown's "Newspeak" messages in the paper in the future, everyone needs to remember the third slogan of the party, "Ignorance is strength."
Lee Hearn
Former Fayette County Commissioner
Brooks, Ga.
Note that all comments are negative. This is for a reason. Ex-Commissioner Hearn is probably the only candidate for reelection who didn't win a single precinct in Fayette County...not even his own. If that is not an indication that he is in poor standing with the voters in Fayette County, what is?
Yet Mr. Hearn has proven time and time again he is not here to help our new leaders. He continues to show up during Public Comment time at the Commissioners meetings. He makes his disparaging remarks, then abruptly makes an about-face and slithers out the door. Mr. Hearn was part of an administration whose actions appeared to support the West Bypass, a road to nowhere, appointed relatives he disguised as friends to public trust positions, and called the money not spent on vehicle and communications equipment and stormwater maintenance "a county surplus." He also voted for mass transit while in office.
It is indeed disappointing to see Mr. Hearn wasting ten or more minutes of meeting time to cast his sour grapes over losing the last election. Had anyone else done that during the last administration, they would have been silenced by the Commission Chairman after five minutes, or even sooner.
I'm sure the public would be more appreciative if Mr. Hearn would keep his promise of assisting the current commissioners in a positive way instead of making a new career of seeing how many stones he can cast in his glass house.
At least that way, he might get a positive comment or two.
I think it's time Mr. Hearn stopped acting like a sore loser. Continuing to alienate those who voted him out is not the way to hold public approval.
lost, let it go pal. Go find something else to do, it's a big world out there.
Mr. Hearn has spoken at several commission meetings since the current board was sworn into office. I am so sorry that he chose to immediately leave after his comments. The current board did address his concerns after each of his visits to the commission meetings.
I have been attending commission meetings on a regular basis for the last five years, and I am very happy to say that the manner in which citizens' comments are received under the new board as opposed to former boards is worlds apart. However, Mr. Hearn should have been able to discern that for himself.
During his last visit to the commission meeting, he spoke more than twice the amount of his allotted time. He was allowed to speak until he was finished with his comments. Chairman Brown and the other commissioners listened very politely and never once pointed out that he had gone over his time limit. As Mr. Hearn was walking out of the meeting, Chairman Brown began to respond to Mr. Hearn's comments but when he saw that Mr. Hearn didn't care to hear a response, Chairman Brown and the other commissioners saved their remarks
until the end of the meeting.
Mr. Hearn's comments at each one of the commission meetings this year have been very similar to his comments here in The Citizen. In his letter, Mr. Hearn has said that former Chairman Frady, along with Commissioners Horgan and Hearn created the Stormwater Utility on Sept. 22, 2011. He said that they "had the political courage to do the right thing."
Personally speaking, I think it is extremely unfortunate that Commissioners Hearn, Horgan, and Frady didn't see fit to have the courage to spare the residents in the Merrydale, Kari Glen, and Morrison Road areas disruption of their road services before the culverts collapsed underneath those roads. Flat Creek Trail is in grave danger of collapsing as well. There is a fire station on Flat Creek Trail.
It seems to me that if Commissioners Smith, Maxwell, Frady, Horgan and Hearn left their offices "with the final expenditure budget for the General Fund for the 2012 fiscal year totaling $47.2 million" they could have found the "courage" and "monies" to repair the stormwater culverts on Merrydale, Kari Glen, and Morrison Rd. before they collapsed.
It seems to me that those culverts and many others could have been repaired if the previous commissions had seen fit to apply local SPLOST funds to collapsing roadways instead of building the West Fayetteville Bypass. Shouldn't they have taken care of dire road problems first before building more roads?
Mr. Hearn said in his letter here, "One would think that the average citizen would appreciate a board that works towards sustainability of their services and has their best interests at heart." I agree completely. I am also sure the folks on Merrydale, Kari Glen, and Morrison Road would also agree and probably wish Commissioners Smith, Maxwell, Frady, Horgan and Hearn had thought of that while they were in office.
Mr Hearn,
I cannot believe you bring up transparency issues with our current commissioners. HOLD ON, let me go see what what Addison Lester has to say about transparency.
Mr. Hearn would you please go away. You have done enough damage. You lost your election and now it is time for our current commissioners to clean up the mess that was made by you, Frady, and Horgan. At least the two of them has had the common sense to stay out of the public spotlight.
Lee Hearn, sore-loser former commissioner, spoke at this week's meeting and asked several utterly stupid questions, made accusations against the current commissioners, and then bolted for the door without waiting for a response just like he did at a previous meeting.
Those in attendance were visibly annoyed with his insulting demeanor and many commented after the meeting that they wish he would just go away.
I overhead one person who said, "the November vote tally suggests that even his family and neighbors in Brooks didn't vote for him."
Hearn said he would be coming back.
Didn't he and his pals Maxwell, Smith, and Horgan get the message that we had had enough of their "good ole boy closed door secret politics" when we soundly kicked them out of office?
Frady didn't seek another term because he knew he couldn't possibly win.
Jim Richter
Who it this Commission Chairman ? Let's see--- he voted for the West Fayetteville Bypass "Road to Nowhere"; he's pro-developer lately; he's keeping the rain tax on us.
Is it Rick Price ? Steve Wallace ? Bill Bonner ? Heck no---- IT'S STEVE BROWN !!!
Why am I shocked at this first-quarter-in-office turn around. Steve Brown looks like the Obama video in July of 2008 saying that a $6 trillion national debt is unpatriotic. You are right Mudcat--- I got fooled !!!
And nothing changes more quickly than a politician who sees a chance to ride the Pinewood deal into some TV time and some magazine ink (he already owns the local newsprint ink).
See, it is very simple - he voted against it before he voted for it.
Look at it his way - we have our very own John Kerry, without the hair.
Why should anyone be surprised.
In the print edition of the paper, Mr. Brown suggested that Phase 2 move foreword to avoid a lawsuit for breach of contract. Again, I call BS. Maybe we need to file a request to review the contract. The deal with Pinewood Studios is most likely contingent on the roads completion. I doubt Mr. Brown would change his stripes if the deal was not close. And I don't disagree for the sake of FC future prosperity.
However, what happens if the deal falls through? There will be a lot of discussion then.
I am not fooled by any of this. Mr. Brown had access to the contract all along. He knew whether or not the contract was voidable. He most likely confided with Mr. Ognio and Barlow with this information too. And if not, then I question his reasoning not to advise them.
Flat out has had their head in the sand.
Not sure why everyone is getting thier panties in a wad. I don't really care for his political career, but the man, like you or I, has every right to stand before commission and ask questions, no matter how dumb you or I think they are. Don't you agree American Patriot?
I don't care for his walking out after his speech, but Mr. Brown, Mr. Ognio, and Mr. Barlow also have a history of going before commission requesting transparency too. Is it only ok if you like the person?
Instead of pissing and moaning, why doesn't someone research his statements to see if they bear any truth and then respond. I bet a lot of people would be interested in comparing the claims. Does the answer lie somewhere in the middle?
By the way, I did get a good laugh at the "Ministers of Truth" comment. All they need now are capes.
this childish boo hoo diatribe above than to remind all who voted him OUT of office that their decision was better than right, more than best for the county and the most appropriate way to shout out to him these words...you lost, we don't have to or want to listen to you anymore, and most importantly, you don't represent us any more.
His sign off above speaks volumes, Former, with a capitol F. Maybe someone needs to tell him he's just one of us now. Seems he still didn't get the message.
The boy has double-dipped at the entitlement trough and therefore feels superior to us civilians (as government employees refer to the rest of us). First he was a long-time government employee (with a credit card) at the county level. Then he was an employee of another county. Then he was actually elected as a county commissioner. All that makes him smarter and better than the rest of us. He's an "insider".
I believe that Mr. Hearn needed to be replaced for a number of reasons.
Mr. Hearn now appears to be using Mr. Browns political tactics against him. We will see how he fairs long term if he keeps the pressure on. He would be smart to have someone else sign the letters and see how the people react. Right now it appears to be sour grapes.
Some of his points are valid and I think the new commissioners are now learning its not that easy to be transparent. I would like to know what Mr. Hearn meant by the obscene salary and benefits being paid to the county administrator. I cant see where this was ever published.
Having valid points and zero credibility still adds up to zero. Same as our dead wood mayor.
Best part of the Hearn diatribe was Oddo's rebuttal. He sort of dissed both Hearn and Brown and established his independence. It looks like this group is evolving into a 3-2 with Ognio and Oddo being the 2. In fairness I believe things will be much more cordial than the 3-2 with Frady in charge. I think Steve Rapson has already shown he can bring class and smarts to the county.
And imagine if someone else pointed out the same flaws. Would you not believe that there was some bits of truth?

PE and the Citi
One would think that leaders of large financial insitutions whose very existence is dependent on the kindness of taxpayers would be more circumspect in their words and actions. It's not a blunder on the same scale as the recent tough-guy talk from AIG's new chief executive, Robert Benmosche, yet today's news that Richard Parsons will join a private equity firm is a little worrisome.
The statement announcing that Parsons will become a senior adviser to Providence Equity Partners, a private equity firm known for its many media investments, stresses that Parson's "primary business activity" will continue be as chairman of Citigroup. The new role, however, still suggests that Citi no longer requires Parsons' full-time attention — a suggestion that Citi's legions of skeptics will find astounding.
Parsons, to be sure, may no longer be needed as a "referee," as the Wall Street Journal had it earlier this year, in the acrimonious relationship between the bank's management and its regulators. And the management reshuffle and restructuring, not to mention the discussion toward paying back some of the government's investment may be steps in the right direction.
But there are few if any signs of a turnaround. The core banking business is still weak, with several billions of dollars of additional loan losses expected. The chief executive, Vikram Pandit, has his supporters, but his survival is anything but guaranteed. And the bank is effectively a subsidiary of the U.S. government.
So is this the right time for the chairman of Citi to be focusing on media deals? Sure, having the former chief executive of Time Warner join Providence makes loads of sense. But it still looks bad. Taxpayers may well wonder why the chairman is broadening his portfolio when they have
a $45 billion invesetment and a guarantee on $300 billion in assets at stake.
The New York Times reports that Parsons' move was originally planned to be earlier in the year until it was delayed so that he could focus on Citi's problems. He should have waited another year.
We welcome comments that advance the story through relevant opinion, anecdotes, links and data. If you see a comment that you believe is irrelevant or inappropriate, you can flag it to our editors by using the report abuse links. Views expressed in the comments do not represent those of Reuters. For more information on our comment policy, see http://blogs.reuters.com/fulldisclosure/2010/09/27/toward-a-more-thoughtful-conversation-on-stories/
The literari and the remaining 'great unwashed' will never catch on it seems.
The move by Parsons is, and was, planned for some time. He is a gifted individual who understands his marching orders and how best to execute them. Are you surprised? You ought not be.
Would this move be: Announced? Never. Explained? Never. Why? Because the efforts of the people and their 'groups' working toward control of the economy, political structure and other major industries (which, at one time in our American history were held privately) are now held corporately and available to, essentially, control a whole people.
Parsons fits neatly into the role as corporate structure is molded to become the 'leadership' of the nation. Our political process is, for the most part, dead and buried. The governing bodies of the nation are, at best, nothing more than employees of corporate structure.
This is not new stuff. History is replete with stories of individuals who built groups that became powerful drivers of societies. The United States is in that wash tub now. Will it come out clean or will it come out with stains remaining and no shine to its sheets?
Well folks, a read of history (Will and Ariel Durant create a neat thumbnail sketch) will certainly put you at ease and you can watch it all come and go on television! Imagine that! A whole and complete live history, viewed from your 'easy chair' and you needn't do a damn thing!
This truly is a…whoops…was, a great nation.

I love this! So surprised at the poor reviews. I use it as part of my everyday eye look. It's basically a VERY shimmery nude. Which isn't a bad thing. I use it on my lids by itself, or over barely branded color tattoo for a bit more oomph (for a natural eye.) It really brightens, and makes me look wide awake. I also use this over a much darker color to brighten and shimmer. In the container, it looks much darker than it really is. I'm a fair individual, and it shows up on my shimmering nude. I haven't had any problem with fading as the other reviewers did. I love this! I'm looking forward to buying more e.l.f. mineral shadows!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I only paid 90 cents for this eyeshadow, so I am not too disappointed. When I first applied the shadow, it was a very pretty light gold color. The problem with the shadow is that it disappeared within 10 minutes. I may use this as a primer, but I won't buy this again...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Overall rating: Well, if disappearing eyeshadow is a trend, the count me out. This shade was almost so nonexistent on my lids, even after several layers of application, that it was like I was wearing no shadow at all!
Where did I buy this: E.L.F. Web site.
Price: $1.25 during the recent E.L.F. sale. Regular retail is $3.00.
Packaging: Standard screw-top pot, about the size of a BE shadow, with sifter cap; about the best you can get in loose eyeshadow packaging.
Would I buy again: No way! continued >>

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.
Nice! Looks like it's time!
Can you catch them on artificials? Never really got into them.... never eaten them either, but always looking to expand my fishing shinanigans.
You can trick sheeps into eatin an artificial. I have caught a bunch on doa shrimp when I see them tailing in the shallows and I have watched tv shows that caught them on crankbaits. When using the doa shrimp in the shallows it is pretty hard to get them to eat. I usually catch 1 for every 10 I cast at but it is also how i landed by pb at 8lbs. I have always wanted to try the doa shrimp on a drop shot rig next to a bridge I bet it would work.
Can't wait to get on some this season. What area were y'all fishing?
