Hi, this is from my journal and thought I should post it here. I only wish I could still work with wood. Images are clickable for a full view. John
Woodworking, gardening and photography have been my main hobbies all my adult life. When I developed sensitivity to wood dust from the more toxic woods, I had to quit woodworking. Pryor to retirement, I had built up a nice hobby woodshop and all the shop photos are of that woodshop. In preparing for retirement, I decided to upgrade the shop with more industrial type equipment. I ended up with a shop that would rival Norman A's shop. Unfortunately, I have no photos of that shop. We live in SW PA. and I bought all my lumber from the Amish. Through the 1980s, I was paying $0.15-$0.20/bf for clear red oak, maple, black cherry and walnut. At that time, the same wood would sell for approximately $4.00/bf. There is a room attached to my shop area that I used to season the rough-cut lumber for a minimum of one year per in of thickness. That room is now a garden shed. With the exception of the nut bowl, grandfather clock and the blue cabinet, all other projects were made with seasoned, air-dried wood. My very first project was a nut bowl I made in 7th grade woodshop and I also made the anvil and mallet. My farther had a small machine shop in the basement and had taught me how to use most of the equipment. The nut bowl has been used every Christmas for nearly 60 years. Cannot find the mallet, I suspect it is in one of the Christmas boxes. This is a grandfather's clock I made for my mother about 1965. The wood used to make the clock came from my mother and fathers first dinning room set with the exception of the curved moldings at the top of the clock. The poster bed was made from a walnut thee that the carpenter ants had attacked on my grandfather's farm. This was my first experience with the Amish. It cost me $3.00 dollars to have the tree sawed to the sizes I wanted. The bookcase is made from Beechnut which in uncommon. It is a very hard, dense wood with little grain but takes on a nice finish. Your tools had better be sharp though. This cabinet is a recycled bedroom cabinet made to resemble a ships cabinet. An antique refinisher received a civil war field desk to restore. He made detailed drawings of all the parts and asked me to make him six desks. Well, I made seven and there is one setting in my living room. The coffee table and end table were made as a set from black cherry. The computer desk almost looks like black walnut but it is also cherry. This is a Governor Winthrop 18 century reproduction including the joining and hardware. An entertainment center that can easily be converted to an armoire. This is a scaled down harvest table used for a kitchen table. This is a scaled down library table made from the same walnut tree as the poster bed. It was my first attempt at making cabriole legs. The biggest problem with the cabriole style legs is the wood that is wasted.

Tension is rising in the Middle East again. The civil war in Syria is worsening, Western sanctions on Iran are intensifying, large-scale military exercises by both Tehran and the West are on the cards. This is all worrying and cause for alarm.
Yet, it is an unprecedented, largely ignored national address by Iran's supreme leader that is most alarming. On Friday, July 6, a number of Iranian state-run media outlets ran stories highlighting remarks by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In his address, Khamenei warned his people all over the world that Iran must prepare for war, and that we are now living in "the end of times."

Telling Your Story
Jan 5, 2010 12:00 PM, By Don Kreski
Why printed brochures are relevant in an electronic age.
As important as electronic media have become to most companies, there's still a lot of value in a printed brochure.
"People look at our brochure and they instantly get all kinds of things about our company that would have taken half an hour of conversation to convey without it," says Will Bakewell, president of Internet protocol television (IPTV) equipment manufacturer Visionary Solutions (VSI). "Of course, that's hugely valuable to the sales process, as you can imagine."
Visionary Solutions uses its new brochure in a number of ways: as a handout, a mailer, at presentations, at tradeshows, and even as a PDF on the company's website. "It helps our customers make a leap of understanding in how our products can fit their needs," Bakewell says. One of the problems that VSI faces is the fact that many potential buyers have trouble understanding what IPTV is all about. It's not unlike what prospective clients ask AV contractors: 'What is it you offer? How can it help us? Why would we buy it from you?'
"The truth is, we do offer something unique and valuable in a market that isn't really addressed by other companies," Bakewell says. "We went into this project needing a way to crystallize what we have and explain it clearly and concisely."
A process of focusing priorities
When Bakewell and I began talking about this brochure in the summer of 2008, our challenge was a little deeper than just describing their offerings. "The dialog with you became a good a way to focus ourselves in terms of our strategy," Bakewell says. "We had to be coherent in what we were presenting, and you had to push us here and there to kind of nail us down on what we were trying to do in the marketplace."
Visionary Solutions is best at producing relatively low-cost encoders that take full-resolution analog or digital video and convert it to an MPEG stream in realtime. Similar encoders are available for use by big telcos and Internet content providers, but they're many times more expensive. VSI products, to use telco terms, are for "edge acquisition" and "edge distribution." They are for the use of organizations capturing and delivering content across private IP networks and the World Wide Web.
For an AV contractor, the strategy questions are similar: Who are your main markets? What is it you do that's unique? It doesn't help to say that you're good at everything. Not only will no one believe it, but it doesn't help your best prospects recognize what you can do for them. "I was reluctant to get nailed down because I like to keep my options open," Bakewell says. "But on other hand, without being very specific about what we have, I can't reach anyone."
The VSI brochure began to evolve into three main sections: We devoted two pages to an explanation of IPTV technology, two pages to VSI customers, and two pages to the VSI products. Throughout these pages, I worked hard to be as specific as possible about the company, the technology, and its applications so as to prove rather than just describe Visionary Solutions' advantages.
In addition to these sections, we needed a front cover that would catch peoples' attention and convey something of what the company was offering. We devoted the back cover to a schematic of how VSI's products fit into the network environment, graphically summarizing what six pages of text attempted to explain.

Finally, the perfect extended wear multifocal lens! Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contact lenses were released in Europe with rave reviews and are now available in the United States. With a precision profile design that allows for a smooth transition between close and distance vision, these contact lenses are perfect for presbyopic people who want to optimize eyesight for everything from using the computer to driving at night. Three powers (near, intermediate, and distance) accommodate different stages of presbyopia and are proven to provide consistently clear vision with optimal centering and a comfortable fit. The Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contact lenses also feature Cibavision's proprietary hydrophilic material that allows up to five times more oxygen to your eyes than traditional soft multifocal contact lenses. You will not find a more comfortable lens, whether for daily or extended wear, in the multi-focal format. While actual wear recommendations come from your eye care professional, Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contacts can be worn either daily for one month, or as extended wear lenses for six nights and seven days. These lenses are lightly tinted for ease of handling but will not change your eye color. Each box of Air Optix Aqua Multifocal lenses contains six lenses individually packaged in blister packs of sterile saline solution.
For how long can I wear my Air Optix Multifocal lenses? Air Optix Multifocal lenses can be worn for one month with daily removal and cleaning. After one month, though, the lenses should definitely be replaced for a fresh pair to keep your eyes feeling smooth, clean and clear. Or if worn over six nights and seven consecutive days, then replace the contacts with a new pair. This wearing schedule accelerates the deterioration process.
Can I sleep with my Air Optix Multifocal lenses in? You can wear your Air Optix Multifocal lenses at nighttime for six consecutive nights and seven days before they begin to cause discomfort. After this span, replace your Air Optix Multifocal lenses with a fresh pair to ensure optimal comfort and crisp vision. Consult your eye doctor to see whether or not this wearing schedule is right for you.
Will the Air Optix Multifocal lenses help manage my presbyopia? The Air Optix Multifocal lens has three distinct zones: near, intermediate and distance. They've been uniquely developed to offer those who suffer from focus impairments the seamless ability to adjust depth of field according to environment, maintain balance and easily transition from near to far focus without any unnecessary trouble. Ask your eye doctor to be completely sure these lenses will help with your presbyopia; another healthy alternative is Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia.
Lenses came much quicker than I expected.

Together at last! I Just Graduated…Now What? & I'm at a Networking Event–Now What???
It's true. Two great books, together at last and just in time for Class of 2014 gift giving!
When Maria Shriver's daughter, Katherine, graduated from college she took her Mom's advice. Sort of. Instead of trying to jump into the traditional job market, she decided to "pause" and keep herself semi-occupied by collecting "been there, done that" stories and writing a book.
With the title, I Just Graduated … Now What?: Honest Answers from Those Who Have Been There, and the fact that the word "networking" gets frequent mention after one graduates, you just know that it will be a great pairing with my own book, I'm at a Networking Event–Now What???: A Guide to Getting the Most Out of Any Networking Event. So get your gifting on and order copies of these inspiring and motivating books for your class of 2014 graduate via the link below!
Order your copies of: I Just Graduated From College..Now What? & I'm at a Networking Event–Now What??? on Amazon!
About Katherine's latest book:
Drawing on the stories and real-life experiences of more than thirty contributors including Anderson Cooper, Eva Longoria, Blake Mycoskie of TOMS shoes, Lauren Bush Lauren, and Andy Cohen, this guide for recent and soon-to-be graduates will help them find success and fulfillment in their work, relationships, and lives. In it you'll find some surprising advice for graduates, including answers to questions like:
• How do I find my first job in a tough economy?
• How do I decide between a career that pays well and one that I'm passionate about?
• How do I balance work with friends, relationships, and family?
• Should I take a "gap year" before starting my first job?
• What should I do about my student loan debt?
More via her bio on Amazon:
Katherine Schwarzenegger, twenty-four, is an author, activist, and entrepreneur. A recent graduate of the University of Southern California, Katherine is a clear, sound voice for her generation. She hopes this new book will offer the direction needed to help young graduates navigate through the unknown with just a little less stress and a little more certainty. Throughout her process, Katherine has learned that there is no right way to figure out the next steps in your life, just your way.

Read More3 Things You Should Do On LinkedIn Sooner Rather Than Later
After receiving such a positive response to my recent post covering the 10 things I do on LinkedIn® each and every week, I knew it was time to share a few more of what I refer to as basic "LinkedIn Hacks," so here goes.
Have you spent anytime poking around your Settings on LinkedIn? Well, if you haven't you should. There are quite a few things there that if you knew exactly what they meant, you would be toggling off a check box or two faster than can read this post.
One of the two most important things I do when I first start a one-on-one session with a new client is to go into Settings/Profile/Privacy Controls and turn off the "Turn on/off your activity updates" option. Why, you ask? If you're going to go into your LinkedIn profile to make a whole bunch of edits, in most cases, you'll want to turn off those updates so your network isn't getting a few too many bits of unnecessary info about you in their LinkedIn stream. Here's what it looks like:
And I always recommend that my clients turn this back on just before they make their final major edit so that their polished new profile gets as many eyeballs as possible once it's completed. Here's what it looks like:
Now, take a look at the right-hand side of the profile above and look for the People Also Viewed box in the bottom corner. What you have to wonder is why would this person want to advertise the LinkedIn profiles of people who might be after the same job as she is or are competing for the same type of contract work? You can easily remove this box via Settings/Profile/Privacy Controls as well and I highly recommend doing it sooner rather than later.
It's bad enough we appear to be stuck with the People Similar To box in the upper-right, but at least you can get rid of the People Also Viewed box and keep the distractions to a minimum when someone is checking out your profile page. LinkedIn is all about "being found" and why lose a visitor right after they find you?
Personally, I think LinkedIn should pay us to allow that box to appear on that page. However, what will likely happen down the road is that they'll charge us for keeping the basic version without these type of "ads," which is essentially what that box is and for your competitors no less.
And, lastly, if your Inbox keeps getting filled with unwanted InMails for things you don't want or need, just wander over to Settings again, but this time look for Communications. There you'll find, Turn on/off partner InMail. You can also turn off these solicitations/distractions by unchecking the boxes. See below:
Hope these "hacks" prove helpful to you, and if you'd like to learn more of my LinkedIn Hacks, or how to seriously leverage LinkedIn to achieve your goals, just click here.

Read MoreHow to Cultivate Your Personal Brand on LinkedIn
Have you jumped on the personal brand wagon yet?
Personal branding is still a hot topic, so I thought I'd use this post to share some of the ways that you can use LinkedIn to cultivate and reinforce your personal brand. First off, let's agree that your personal brand represents how you market yourself to the world. It's what comes to mind when people you know think of you, and it tells folks you don't know what you represent, offer or are a go-to person for.
As an example, my personal brand is that of a connector, networking maven and person that can almost always find a way to make things happen. It's funny to think that back in the late 80s I unwittingly started cultivating my personal brand when I ordered custom license plates for my car that said, "HAS A WAY" on them. I happily gave those plates (and my car) up when I moved from Chicago to San Francisco in the late 90s, but that part of my personal brand identity definitely stuck.
Define Your Brand
If you haven't identified your own personal brand yet, I recommend you spend at least a half hour this week thinking about and then listing the things:
– for which you are known
– for which you want to be known
– you are most likely to say when asked, "What qualities differentiate you from your peers (or competitors)?"
Rethink your Headline: Distill what you've come up with and use it to inform the edits you should make to your LinkedIn profile. Does you headline reflect what you are versus what your job title or role is? (There's a place for title by your company's listing in your job history.) On mine, for example, I currently have:
Professional Networking Expert, Author & Keynote Speaker, Training & Professional Development Consultant
Create a public URL: Additionally, if you haven't set up your Personal LinkedIn URL yet, it is time. Look under "Profile" then "Edit Profile" to find "Public Profile" and carefully consider whether you want to use your name, business name or a nickname in the URL. This is a great link to share in your email signatures or on your personal business cards if you don't yet have a website you're proud of or a job or a personal Tumblr or similar page. For example, mine is http://www.linkedin.com/in/sandyjk
Improve your summary: Use your "Summary" as you would an elevator pitch, brief cover letter or biography, but do make sure that your personality comes through.
A much-challenged belief that LinkedIn is your resume online is inaccurate. Your LinkedIn profile summary is actually a less formal way to present your best possible self to the professional world and when would you ever want to sound like a robot to another human? Leave the robotic resume speak for the specific job listing within your profile, but even there, let SEO (search engine optimization) tactics guide your descriptions.
Focus on words you think a prospect, recruiter or hiring manager looking for someone like you would use to search the vast LinkedIn database. Here are a few I've seen in the "Specialties" section and/or within the listings in the "Experience" section:
-executive, managed, global, delivered, sold, produced, developed, wrote, author, speaker, marketing, built, start-up, etc.
Make smarter status updates: Make sure your status updates (and tweets if you've linked Twitter to your profile) reflect the things/topics for which you want to be known and keep your self-promotion in line by using the Pareto principle (80/20 rule) and share insights or "on brand" content 80 percent of the time and only share your good news or accomplishments 20 percent of the time.
Share your expertise: Last, but certainly not least, peruse the "Discussions" and "Answers" sections groups you are a member of within LinkedIn for relevant to you or your industry conversations where you can showcase your personal brand by contributing meaningful insights, knowledge or ideas. This is a great way to build your reputation and awareness with people who don't already know you or what you represent. But, a word of caution, it's also a great way to tarnish your personal brand if you use your comments to solely promote yourself or business or as what's called "link bait" to get people to visit your site or Facebook page.
Hope this motivates you to jump on the personal brand wagon!

Lord, bless Jenny as she goes out into the world. Empower her to make the right choices for her life. If she should fall, as we all do now and then, lift her back up and give her the courage to keep going forward. Remove any fears that her mother has and strengthen her faith in her daughter. As I struggle with my own daughter, I know the fears she is facing and I know the helplessness we sometimes feel as mothers when children leave our homes to start their own lives. Keep Jenny safe from temptation and out of harms way. In Your name I ask these things. |

Review: 'The Sapphires' Shines With a Touching Story, Catchy Tunes, and a Stand-Out Performance
AFI Fest By Allison Loring on March 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEditor's Note: Allison's review originally ran during the film's premiere at last year's AFI Film Fest, but we're re-running it as the movie opens in limited release this week. The music industry is a brutal landscape scattered with broken dreams and unrecognized talent, but when you take this landscape and add to it racism and war, the stakes are set even higher. Based on a true story (and adapted from the stage play of the same name), The Sapphires is not simply another tale about a girl group trying to make it, it is about a family fighting for a better life for themselves while at the same time coming to terms with their painful past. In 1950s, the Aboriginal population of Australia was considered "not human" and ignored by society until the government began raiding these small communities and stealing their fair-skinned children to pass them off as white. Known as the "stolen generation," these children were ripped away from their families and traditions to instead be taught "white ways" in an attempt to make them "acceptable" to society.

"Most likely, the integrated approach is the best option, but we have some concerns," she said. For one thing, she said that FDA shouldn't list exempted commodities in the produce safety rule, "etched in regulatory stone."
Instead, she said the FDA should consider naming exempted commodities in a guidance document, which she said could be more easily updated over time as warranted.
In particular, Klein said the Center for Science in the Public Interest believes some commodities shouldn't be on the exempted list.
For example, she said kale has traditionally been cooked but new food trends see it being consumed raw. Other items that shouldn't be exempt, she said, include potatoes and beets. It is not uncommon for beets to be cut up and consumed raw, and Klein said should not be exempt because outbreak data shows they are a significant source of cross contamination down the supply chain..
Other aspects of the produce safety rule that CSPI found wanting include qualified exemption for farmers, she said. Klein said FDA should make clear that inspectors will check records to ensure growers indeed are exempt. "FDA should state outright that failure to have records to confirm you are a qualified exemption creates the presumption you are not qualified," she said.
Klein said that CSPI believes that growers at the very least should have a written hazard analysis. That's not required by proposed produce safety rule. She said that requirement would make sure growers would consider hazards that confront their individual operations, and would provide FDA inspectors a roadmap to follow when checking compliance.
Another area where CSPI wants more clarification is the rule's allowance for alternative methods in place of water testing and standards for use of compost, among other practices. She said the produce safety rule should have defined triggers for the withdrawal on the acceptability of the alternatives. "If the alternative is connected to a hazard or an outbreak, the alternative method should be disallowed," she said.
The push and pull over the rule will heat up, as industry folks like Joel Nelsen will fight for their respective industries every step of the way to make the rule less burdensome. In other words, game on.

Raid Rx: The healing lead's check list {WoW}
May 21st 2010 2:26AM Marrowgar is much easier with 4 healers in 10s. You've got pretty much forever to kill him so using an extra healer just makes it that much less stressful.
Saurfang is a similar story but the other way round. We use 2 healers and get a caster DPS to heal the 2nd mark; it makes the fights much, much easier to switch the number of healers.
WoW Insider Show Episode 97: Chasing silhouettes {WoW}
Jul 7th 2009 3:46AM Got to agree with many of the above posters; repeating rumours without any sort of evidence to back it up is pretty poor form.
Anyone equating what Exodus did (evade bug, lie about it and claim the world first) with what Ensidia did (spell steal a buff to kill a boss that was made mathematically impossible after others had killed it. Tell everyone this is what they'd done, and made sure no-one thought the kill was in any way legitimate) is working off a very different set of morals to me.
The other examples given of Nihilum exploits are without exception unfounded. I've not seen a single bit of evidence to support any of those claims.
Overall, very disappointed with the commentary on it.

How do people test your pages on Safari? I found the brilliant website, where you can download old versions of IE and run them on the same machine, which has been a great help. But apple, is a different story.
I am sure the only answer is to get hold of a apple and test away.
BrowserCam (dot com of course, not sure about direct linking rules here)
So, along with icapture (which only gives you a static view, so you can't test rollovers or stuff below the fold), you could try a dual boot Windows/Linux and run Konqueror. Cheaper than buying an iMac!

Paper Mario: Sticker Star Review
Nintendo and Square wowed gamers by throwing Mario and friends into a little game known as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars back in 1996. Surprisingly, mixing platforming and RPG elements together turned out to be an excellent idea. Time passed and the Nintendo 64 gained prominence in the market. Super Mario RPG 2 would be showcased at Spaceworld '97, but the game had a radically different look. Everything had a flat appearance, but tons of charm, this game would become Paper Mario as we know it today.
Nintendo went on to release a sequel on the GameCube called Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This game borrowed heavily from its predecessor while evolving into a proper sequel. Things would change in 2007 when Nintendo released Super Paper Mario. No longer would there be turn-based battles, instead the game focused more on platforming. Super Paper Mario was good, but never quite reached the same level of previous entries. Now we come to Paper Mario: Sticker Star, a game that many have been waiting for since its reveal at E3 2010. Paper Mario: Sticker Star regained turn-based battles from the first two games, but kept the level structure of Super Paper Mario. However, Sticker Star dropped one of the strongest qualities from the series, its story.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star lacks any kind of depth when it comes to its story. Gone are the interesting partners, bosses with huge personas, and well-written, humorous dialogue. Paper Mario: Sticker Star trades all that in for a more simplistic approach, one that disappoints, unfortunately.
The game begins with the annual Sticker Fest celebration in Decalburg, a town of the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser crashes the party and touches the centerpiece of this celebration, the Sticker Comet. Touching the Sticker Comet causes it to explode into six pieces – the six Royal Stickers – and ruins the Sticker Fest. One of the Royal Stickers lands on Bowser's head and he goes berserk with power destroying the Sticker Fest and kidnapping Princess Peach, again. Of course, it's up to Mario to recover all six Royal Stickers, save Decalburg, and rescue the princess.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there are no distinguishable characters, no character growth, or any depth to be found. It does offer the motivation necessary to complete the objective, which was enough for me to go through with confronting Bowser. Soon after the story begins, you'll meet Kersti, a royal sticker that will help you throughout the game. She offers hints and is an important aspect of the game's battle system and the main sticker gimmick, of course.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star breaks up its locations with a world map. There are six worlds in the game with each being broken up into levels; for example, World 1 has six levels. Playing through each level feels remarkably familiar to exploring previous Paper Mario games. I really enjoyed exploring these levels and think it is the highlight of the game. Each level has the specific objective of reaching the Comet Piece, an end level goal similar to flagpoles in other Mario games. What makes these levels fun to explore is the level design in general and their exploration aspects.
There are certain actions that need to be completed before being able to progress; these actions can be best compared to point-and-click adventures. Most can be solved by going into Paperization Mode and either placing special thing stickers (more on them in a moment), or by removing part of the environment to use elsewhere. Regular battle stickers can also be used to solve some of the game's puzzles, but those moments don't appear frequently. Some levels may require you to use Mario's hammer, or his jump in some way. Playing through these levels never gets old either, mainly because there are a variety of gimmicks used to freshen up the game. A good example would be the game show level; I won't say much, but it is a fun level.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star does away with the platforming RPG battle mechanic seen in Super Paper Mario and brings back turn-based RPG battles from the first two games. However, there are no regular attacks, or partners to use in battle, instead you'll be planning all your attacks with stickers.
There are two types of stickers, battle and thing stickers. Battle stickers are your regular attack and healing actions. These stickers are found stuck to buildings, fences, in Question Mark Blocks, and a variety of other areas. They come in regular, shiny, and flashy variations, with each variation being stronger, plus large and small versions, the same rule applies. Battle stickers are plentiful and you'll likely never run out of them. If you do, you can farm them by revisiting levels, or buying them from shops. Thing stickers are made from various real life objects found throughout the game. These stickers are ridiculously strong and serve as puzzle solutions and as weaknesses for bosses. These stickers are a lot of fun to use as each has their own unique, charming animation. Who wouldn't like to see Bowser baked inside of an oven? Yeah, that's possible.
Kersti proves to be useful during battles by giving Mario the power to use the Battle Spinner. Each time you summon the Battle Spinner, you get a chance to increase the number of attacks you can use. You gain attacks by matching symbols, match all three and something special will happen. You can increase your chances by spending coins to make sure two symbols always match.
While I believe the sticker system works, regular battles are kind of pointless. Using the sticker system removes the need for Mario to level up and become stronger, which also means there are no experience points to gain. Nintendo stripped away most RPG elements and left just a skeleton in its place. Luckily, you can avoid most battles by walking past enemies, though you gain a lot of coins in these battles which can be useful at certain points in the game. One small RPG element did survive and that's the ability to increase Mario's max HP. You can increase Mario's max HP by finding HP Hearts hidden throughout the game.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star retains the stylish paper visual that makes the series unique. Paper Mario: Sticker Star goes one step further by making the entire game look like a diorama, complete with hints of corrugated cardboard. Not surprising, the diorama style makes Paper Mario: Sticker Star a visual treat in stereoscopic 3D. There are plenty of great pop-out moments and lots of impressive depth, perhaps the best depth effects on the handheld. In addition to its visuals, Sticker Star boasts a great soundtrack. There are plenty of remixed tunes, but there are also a lot of brand new tracks that are pleasing to the ear. My favourite parts of the soundtrack happen during the World 2 desert stages. Throughout most of these stages are pieces of the Shy Guy Mariachi band that will strum along to the tune when you approach them. They will also play unique pieces during battle which is another special touch I like.
Final Thoughts:
Paper Mario: Sticker Star is a good game with plenty of weird design choices, choices that ultimately hold the game back from being a truly excellent title. Taking away the game's RPG elements and story are huge, noticeable gaps that can't be filled in with any sticker. However, the sticker battle system works fine and exploring the well-designed game world is a lot of fun. Sticker Star is also full of charm that can be seen in its graphics and soundtrack. It took me 18.5 hours to beat the game, but I left a few of the unnecessary sidequests behind. You will get more for your dollar if you decide to complete the Sticker Museum or some of the other distractions. Paper Mario: Sticker Star can also be bought on the Nintendo eShop.

Our family's decision to get a futon marked a turning point in our adolescent youth. Instead of a couch, we bough a big futon for the downstairs and bought a couple of beautiful futon covers. The one we normally dressed it in was burgundy with patterned green diamonds. It was soft and comfortable and we watched many movies on it. Within a year, I was having friends over and inviting them to spend the night — on our futon covers. We'd lay it down and it would sleep three or four adolescent boys straight across. When we woke the next morning to the smell of sausage and eggs in the kitchen, we were pleased to find our necks and backs entirely bendable.
Sometimes,we switched the futon covers when my friends were too rowdy and brought food downstairs, which they weren't supposed to do. The other futon cover was velvety and black. I had chosen that one. We used that futon until it started to get lumpy and misshapen. Finally, my parents decided to throw it away. Since we didn't live there any more, they were going to move. It was no longer useful, it just took up room. But those futon covers remain in my memory.

There is the legendary story about the Spirits getting ready to depart on a flight that left Louisville, Ky., at 8 p.m. and would get into St. Louis at 7:56 p.m. due to a time-zone change. Upon looking at the schedule, Barnes said, "I ain't getting on no time machine,'' and rented a car for the trip.
3 thoughts on "The Marvin Barnes Time Machine"
buzzpeak Rhode Island's finest basketball hero. Growing up in the Biggeest Little State in the Union, I remember hearing the Marvin stories. There was one wherein he robbed a Cumberland Farms (convenience store, aka "Cumbies") in his high school letter jacket. Yep, with "Marvin" stitched across the front and his school conveniently stitched across the back. True? Or like the mouse in the Coke bottle?
nathan If you like that, everyone should read 'Loose Balls' by Terry Pluto. This guy is a great sportswriter (cleveland based) and award winning author, but this book is a compilation of dialog about the life and eventual death of the ABA. It is awesome, Pluto simply introduces a topic or time-period & then presents extended quotes from owners, coaches, players etc. to explain how things evolved. Great read, especially the section dedicated to Barnes & the St. Louis Spirits, including first time play-by-play guy Bob Costas.

text: This week, Steve Aoki dropped the official video for his Machine Gun Kelly-featured "Free The Madness." Given how these get rowdy in a live setting, it makes sense that they'd want that madness freed. When you're done checking that out, though, you should lay your ears on what Milo & Otis did to "Rage The Night Away." Earlier this year they helped (officially) remix Duck Sauce's "NRG," and produced a track alongside A-Trak. For thier take on "Rage The Night Away," they transform this number into an even bigger festival banger. No cheese at all, just massive kicks and bass blasts. It looks like this is part of a "Rage The Night Away" remix release, but there's no real word on that as of yet. This one will be on repeat regardless.

In the 1932 case New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann, Justice Louis Brandeis dissented from the US Supreme Court's decision that Oklahoma could not regulate an ice business as a public utility. Brandeis said states must have the power to reshape industries and institutions to meet changing social needs, noting that it's "one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may … serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." And so was born an enduring metaphor describing the relationship between the state and federal governments.
Every year, the states propose or pass thousands of bills affecting land use, criminal procedure, banking, education, voting, and so on. The bills grow out of lobbying and grassroots efforts to protect or restrict certain interests—and, yes, to meet changing social needs. Some bills die in committee. Some on the floor. Others are vetoed. A relatively few pass—and of the ones that pass, some prove effective and others don't.
The same goes for bills that implicate press freedom. Every year, the states propose or pass hundreds of measures affecting privacy rights, access to public records and meetings, defamation remedies, privilege claims, and so on. In general, they represent the states' attempts to reshape the news ecosystem and the free flow of information about public affairs.
This is the first in an occasional series of articles highlighting state bills that implicate press freedom and calling attention to states in their roles as laboratories of legislative experiments. In each installment, I'll note and briefly analyze a few bills. I'm not trying to be exhaustive in the bills I note or in my analysis. My goal is simply to point readers toward some bills, either enacted or pending, that are worthy of attention (and if you've got suggestions, drop me a note or a tweet).
So, without further ado…
Police shootings without public fingerprints
In Missouri, state representative Jeff Roorda (D-Jefferson) has introduced a bill to amend the Sunshine Law by closing certain records related to law enforcement. (Roorda, by the way, is the business manager of the St. Louis Police Officers Association.) The new language says that generally a Missouri governmental body may close, among other things:
Any records and documents pertaining to police shootings … if they contain the name of any officer who did the shooting, unless the officer who did the shooting has been charged with a crime as a result of the shooting, in which case such records or documents shall not be closed.
No law enforcement agency shall disclose the name of any officer who was the shooter or one of the shooters involved in a police shooting … unless such officer has been charged with a crime as a result of the shooting.
The bill defines "police shooting" as "any incident in which an individual is shot by a law enforcement officer regardless of whether the … officer was on duty." It goes on to say that in Missouri a law enforcement agency is required to maintain records of all incidents reported to it, as well as records of all investigations and arrests made by the agency—"unless those incident reports or arrest reports involve a police shooting … in which case such reports shall be closed if they contain the name of any … officer who was a shooter …, except that the … reports shall be open if the name of the shooting officer is redacted or the shooting officer has been charged with a crime."
In other words: If this bill became law, and I were an off-duty police officer in Missouri and I shot someone in the course of a confrontation, and I was not charged for it, then the Post-Dispatch basically would be high and dry in accessing records about the incident. Related records containing my name would be closed or redacted, and no agency could disclose my name. That means I'd be able as a police officer, privileged by the state to use lethal force, to discharge my firearm in public—to shoot someone—without leaving public fingerprints.
That's an incredibly dangerous idea for reasons so obvious I hesitate to mention them. But I will, because Roorda apparently needs to hear them. As the legal scholar Vincent Blasi once wrote, "The abuse of official power is an especially serious evil because of government's unique capacity to employ legitimized violence." That means, he said, the "check on government must come from the power of public opinion," informed partly by the press. The value of access to police shooting records is to allow people to determine and speak out when the government abuses its power. Roorda's bill would make it difficult to do so.

I have Passion flower growing on the back of my property..What is STRANGE about this is that it is growing in the wild part. Meaning, the part of the property where I do not and have not planted anything..I looked it up and found that this plant grows in south america..Is passion flower suppose to be growing in northern Alabama naturally???How did it get there if I did not plant it?? Is it possible the birds brought it up?? |

Thank You..I guess I looked at the wrong site to find information about this...The pictures on the first site you gave me "native" is the exact flower I have, Passiflora incarnata, purple passion flower..It is not blooming anymore. I moved one into my flower garden, originally it appeared to be dead but has come back and is thriving...No blooms though...matter of fact it is growing all over the place. I cannot seem to get it to climb, so it is just growing along the ground. Any advice anyone may have about this plant...would be greatly appreciated.. |
they can become weedy by sending out underground runners some distance from the original plant so maybe put it where you don't mind when it does. the flowers are lovely and complex. it is a host plant for a butterfly larvae (the gulf fritillary, i think) and you can eat the fruit(seed capsules inside) when it ripens after the skin turns yellowish green and shrivels somewhat. they will die to the ground in winter and return from the roots in late spring. |
I grew up in NE Alabama and hoed many a row of cotton. We had to weed out passion flowers (Maypops) and would beg my father to let us leave some for the fall when we could "pop" the fruit with our feet. I have always loved the flower. As a little girl, my sister and I would make "dolls" from the flower. Neat native plant. I don't know how it got started here. That would be a good research project. I think Kudzo was brough here from China or Japan as an irragation plant. What a disaster! linda2222 |
According to the USDA Plants database, here is the "natural" distribution for passionflower in AL. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Distribution
Linda2222...sounds like you and I grew up in the same area. I grew up on Sand Mountain and we had Passionflower there, as well. I always loved the story of how the stamen represented the 5 loaves and 2 fishes in the Bible. We had Maypop wars...yup...sometimes it wasn't too pleasant but it was a lot of fun! Beverly |
