Roboto doesn`t have his action feature on the vintage figure that was his moving visor which can`t be done due to his removable head. Moving gears are a homage to the original figure much like Webstor have a string but no climbing action
She`s not, She`s a Queen, how many Queen`s do you see going into battle?

While it was great to hear about the care and attention given to making Roboto as excellent a homage to the vintage figure, this makes me even madder about the poor wimpy sculpt of King Hiss' snake body.BB: Right, and everyone was completely onboard, you know we always get this mandate, make it right, you know, dont go the lesser option, dont go the easy route.
Where is the damn extra snake wrapped around the central neck???
Where was the care and attention - the 'mandate' to 'make it right' - with King Hiss' snake body???
Where was the 'don't go the easy route' with King Hiss???
Sometimes the inconsistency with Mattel just drives me absolutely mad.

The difference here is that apparently this is the 4H final sculpt, so this is the what the 4H are pleased with. If that is truly the case, why would Mattel go and change it? If they did that to any other figure fans would be in an uproar. See the dilemma?
Again, this is what we are led to believe. I have no idea how satisfied the 4H actually are with the sculpt.
My name is Pan . . . and I am the Man.
Part three is up, but it focuses on DC. I think that's it for MOTUC though. There will be a part 4. Maybe it's for Ghostbusters.

Hey I have some gas lanterns that are hooked to light switch. I was wondering if there is anyway I could add some type of timer to it, so I could set them up to just run a few hours each day? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I forgot to add that I would also like to be able to control the switch manually not just by timer. |
There are several on the market. Hop over to Amazon and search for "light switch timer" to get an idea. Note that some of them require a neutral so check to see if your current switch has a neutral or is a switchleg without a neutral. It will influence your choice. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Thu, Jan 23, 14 at 15:56
Note, there are two kinds of timers (often identical in outward appearance). Some are approved for incandescent (resistive) loads only. These typically use a semiconductor (TRIAC) switch. Others are good for assorted loads (fluorescent, etc...) as they use a motorized mechanical switch inside. This is what you want. Many of the "time of day" type of timer (as opposed to the count down kind) use a battery to run the timer parts so they don't rely on a neutral at the switch (which older installations may not have). |

Do You Believe in Magic?
That was Wednesday.
Today when I was at my art class making a collage the editor from White Pine Press called. It was the day I forgot my cellphone. It was the day I was ridiculous hungry and had eaten too many coconut macaroons.
When I got home, I called. Dennis the editor said, "Well, you have to change your webpage." I said, "I do?" "Yes," he said, "as you're the new White Pine Poetry Book Prize winner." Things went hazy. I was quiet. I said, "I'm overwhelmed." I said, "Thank you."
I think there was a part of me that thought it wasn't happening. I was in my first lucid dream and this is what I created.
He told me Carl Dennis (Pulitzer Prize winner, Carl Dennis!) was the judge. He said, "Headshot, bio, manuscript." I took notes.
He said, "Your book will be published in the fall of 2010."
He was kind. I was shaking. He said, "A lot of people are overwhelmed." I said, "I'm not normally this quiet." Or maybe I didn't say that. Maybe I just thought that.
Since then, a daze. A daze of Facebook messages and lovely notes from friends. A daze of support and friendship. And then Carl Dennis wrote me an email. Floating. There is no other way to say it.
My manuscript LETTERS FROM THE EMILY DICKINSON ROOM will be published in Fall 2010 by White Pine Press.
What can I say? I don't get this kind of news every day.
My thoughts to you as poets? Keep trying. I can't tell you how many contests I've entered-- many. I can't tell you how often I've been discouraged. Often. I can't tell you how many times I thought I'd always be a finalist. Always.
But yes, I'm happy. Very poetry-filled and happy.
with thanks,

So here is my first grape vine. I plan to prune everthing off of it except the tallest shoot I will than attach it to my trellis and if it touches the wire, I will tip it above the second bud. The trellis I am making is only to get me by this year. I am going to use t-post and rebar wire(stuff I already own) to string it up about 4 feet off the ground. Next year when I have more money and time I plan to use the standard 4x6 post with galvanized wire. I am hopping I can move it from one wire to another with out many problems. If anyone see any flaws in my logic please point them out hehe. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Since you will have a temporary trellis you might want to just let it establish roots this year and make a trunk/canes next year. To do that leave all shoots and leaves this year to allow maximum root growth. Then next year cut off low and train the strongest shoot up the trellis. This option won't make fruit next year. But would maximize the crop in 2015. But I also might try to make a crop in 2014. It will be small but your plan would hold out that option. |

Each week, we'll examine schools that could potentially join the ACC at some point if/when the conference decides that 14 isn't good enough. While it appears that conferences (ACC, and SEC soon) are content with 14 for now, any moves by conference cornerstone programs could cause even more shifting. With that in mind, we wanted to take a look at how each potential addition stacks up.
This week's resume: Notre Dame Fighting Irish
School: University of Notre Dame
Team nickname: Fighting Irish
Location: South Bend, IN
Current League: Independent (football)/Big East (all other sports)
Year Established in FBS: 1906
Overall W-L: 849-297-42 (incl. all games)
National Titles: 11
Bowls: 30 (2 BCS)
The Good: Notre Dame football is an institution in not just American collegiate athletics, but the country's sports landscape as a whole. A nationwide branding and marketing machine, the Irish have their own television deal with NBC and one of the country's largest fanbases, spread from coast to coast. As a current member of the Big East in all sports but football, Notre Dame already has well-established rivalries with Syracuse and Pittsburgh. Along with current ACC member Boston College, Notre Dame is one of just two Catholic schools playing football at the FBS level. As chronicled in the book "Perfect Rivals," Notre Dame has also had a storied history with the University of Miami, specifically in the 1980s.
The Bad: Notre Dame's preferential treatment in the Big East has been frustrating to watch since 1995, and it would take a huge push for the team to give all of that up. Also don't forget that Notre Dame has been largely overrated for the past decade and a half, getting by solely on the mythos of their last championship in 1988 and the allure of "Notre Dame football"-as-institution (much like the qualities assigned to teams like the New York Yankees, Duke basketball and Dallas Cowboys). On a less-biased note, Indiana is neither "Atlantic" nor "Coastal," a geographical sticking point that the ACC, unlike most other leagues, seems to value. There's also the argument that Notre Dame would keep their NBC television deal, which would give them a huge advantage in terms of TV revenues.
Our Vote: Emphatically, yes, if only because the ACC needs as many "big fish" as possible (in spite of how inflated a team's stature may be by perception). Notre Dame brings eyeballs, and eyeballs bring more television revenue for all the schools in the conference. The best part — people will gladly watch the Irish even when they're terrible, so there's no drop-off for the other ACC institutions during down years. Plus, a Notre Dame invite means Connecticut will be joining as well (supposedly), thus creating the greatest top-four programs any basketball league has ever seen.
Previous Resumes: Connecticut, Rutgers, Louisville, Cincinnati

Because planning has been applied to all types of activities, there are numerous types of plans. Some plans deal with broad areas, some with narrow ones; some concern space considerations, whereas others emphasize performance, cost, quality, or another major attribute.
Plans can be conveniently classified into the following:
1. Growth plans. These plans chart the direction in which the organization is going, its goals, and the rate of expansion sought. The rational way to ensure desirable growth is by the commitment of competent management members to growth and by planning for that growth. In turn, this requires knowing where the organization is, where it is going, and where it should go; what major problems now stand or will stand in the way of achieving its goals; the time phasing for implementing the growth plans; and what specific activities are required to fulfill them.
Specific courses of action, tailored to the individual`s needs and the organization`s requirements, are necessary for adequate leadership and the development of management members to take place.
2. Profit plans. Commonly, this type of plan is focused on profit per product or group of products. Headed by a profit planner, the entire plan points toward a minimum effort and expenditure in order to realize maximum profits. The normal time span for profit plans is one to three years.
3. User plans. How to market a selected product/service, or to serve a selected market better, is answered by a user plan. Commonly called product planning or market planning, this type of plan is popular. Most people understand the subject being planned for, and user plans are widely used to illustrate planning techniques. The period covered by user plans is generally one year.
4. Personnel-management plans. Plans formulated to attract, develop, and retain management members are growing in importance. It is being recognized that managerial personnel cannot be left to chance; planning is essential.
The classification of plans according to the period of time they cover is common. This leads to designating plans as long range - those dealing with three or more years - and short range - those involving one year or less. Plans covering from two to five years are termed long or short depending on the organization; some use the term intermediate plans, but this is not widely used.
Most managers like to use a time period sufficient to justify the dollar expenditure required by the plan. That is, they want the plan to include the time needed to recover their total dollar commitments. This is frequently expressed in terms of recovery costs. Acceptance of the commitment concept means that planning periods will vary considerably, depending on such things as the organization, the subject area planned for, and the beliefs of the top manager.
Further identifications of plans are orientational and operational plans. Usually, they are a particular type of either a long-or short-range plan. An orientational plan seeks to reveal the organization`s current goals, activities, strengths, personnel, and relationship with customers. With these types of data as a background, a projection is made of what the future expectancies might be. In turn, this leads to an evaluation of whether this is where the managers want the organization to be. In contrast, an operational plan deals with current activities. It answers: Who is going to do what? The activation of physical resources - facilities, materials, and personnel - is dealt with. The planning is tangible, definite, and specific.

Stephvon Atencio, James Dominguez-Castor busted in slaying of elderly Lakewood man (43)
Stephvon Atencio's red eyes in his booking photo suggests that he'd been crying some time before the image was snapped.Big photos below.
Presumably, those close to an elderly Lakewood man were shedding tears, too, but for a very different reason. The man was found dead in a trailer on Saturday -- after which Atencio, twenty, and James Cameron-Dominguez, 22, were arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder. Continue for details and lots of photos, including plenty Atencio took of himself.
Atencio's Facebook page features a large collection of selfies, most of them of the mirror-in-the-bathroom variety. Here's one example....
...and another....
...as well as a minor variation on the theme:
The latest photo of Atencio displays considerably less bravado, and that's understandable under the circumstances.
At about 9:40 a.m. on Saturday, March 1, according to the Lakewood Police Department, officers charged with conducting a welfare check arrived at a residence on the 1500 block of Depew Street, an area captured in the following interactive graphic; if you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map."

Inside, they found the body of an elderly male; he hasn't been identified yet pending contact with his relatives. And while they didn't immediately know the cause of death, they quickly came to the conclusion that a person or persons had taken his life.

Cow Foot
The idea of cooking the cow's feet is not one of the greatest feats achieved in the Jamaican culinary tradition by any means. Even if I beg to differ on this subject, I still must conclude that my take on cooked cow's feet is very subjective and I stand corrected by any of my Jamaican compatriots who might challenge my notions.
However strong or strange disdain you might have for cow foot, as we call it, I challenge you to try this fare...And, you won't be disappointed. Yah Mon!
Well back in the old days, the 1600's and 1700's, you know during the plantation era, the upper classes would take the best parts of the cow when it's killed and leave the so called "fifth quarters"(head, feet, tail, internal organs, and skin) for the hired hands and slaves.
Notwithstanding, the workers took the "fifth quarters" and made delicious delicacies that are still enjoyed today by many people in Jamaica, including the upper classes…no blame intended. Easy Nuh Mon!
As a "fifth quarter" stew, cow foot was a kind of substitute for oxtail sometimes when oxtail was not available. Why? You should guess by now, the cow has but one tail and four feet. You don't have to do the math to see the advantage the foot has.
Of course cow foot was the kind of stew you would cook mid- week, because the weekends were reserved for chicken or beef soup, and other foods too.
I do hope you will like this recipe.
Cow foot
3 lbs. Cow's feet( chopped and cleaned)
1 can. Jamaican Butter Bean
1 sprig Thyme
¼ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Black Pepper
3 stlk. Scallions
1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper (optional)
Get the cow foot from the butcher shop or grocery store already chopped, cleaned, and ready to cook because this will save you a lot of time in the kitchen...pre-preparation.
Wash meat in cold water and then put it and the salt into the pressure cooker with about 5 cups of water. Allow the pressure cooker to boil the foot until the pot starts to make that steaming sound. Wait five minutes after the sound starts and then turn off the pot.
Do not remove the pot from the stove as yet. Let the pot cool down a little bit, wait five minutes. You do not want to remove the cover from pot while it's hot, you can hurt yourself if you do this.
Put the pot under the pipe in the sink and let some water run onto the pot to further cool it down.
Pour out the contents into a saucepan and cook the cow foot some more with all the other ingredients, except the butter bean, if the meat is not already soft. You can skim the fat off the top of the pot with a spoon while the pot boils.
Taste the stew 7 minutes after the seasonings are added. Get a second opinion from someone about the taste of the stew at this point. You could also some spinners to the stew at this point, it's your choice.
Let the stew cook on medium and then add the butter bean to the stew 5 minutes before removing it from the fire.
You can serve this cow foot stew with bread, white rice, yams, dumplings, or potatoes.
Yah Mon!

Marking the Milestone Years
Once a couple gets to 10 years, they pretty much have the marriage thing figured out. They may still have their ups and downs, but they should have developed a sense of security in their relationship. Celebrate their longevity by making them a special gift.
Crystal Clear
Fifteen years of marriage is symbolized by the gift of crystal. And, unless you know how to blow your own glass, you might want to consider giving the couple a pair of glasses from their favorite crystal pattern paired with a bottle of champagne and tray of fancy hors d'oeuvres.
Time frame: One to two hours
Level: Easy
What you need:
- Set of crystal glasses
- Bottle of champagne or sparkling cider
- Foil bags
- Tray of hors d'oeuvres
- Wrap the crystal glasses and champagne in foil bags.
- Order a tray of appetizers from a local gourmet food store, grocery store, or caterer for a prearranged evening when the couple will be home. (Be sure to arrange a time to deliver your present when they can enjoy hot appetizers.)
- Deliver the tray and gifts and either enjoy an evening together or allow them to savor your gift during a personal celebration. Either way, you come out a winner for thinking of such a thoughtful present.
Simply Silver
Silver is the metal of choice to celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss. You can purchase a silver vase and place these lovely homemade flowers inside it to brighten up the couple's day. A silver frame would be a perfect complement to this gift.
Time frame: One to two hours
Level: Easy
What you need:
- Pipe cleaners that match the material
- Scissors
- Fabric glue
- Silk material (several different colors that blend well)
- Wire flower stems (found in craft stores)
- Florist tape
- Silver vase
- Silk ribbon
- Twist the pipe cleaner into the shape of a flower petal with a one-inch tail on the end. Glue the petal onto the material with fabric glue and allow it to dry. Carefully cut the material around the pipe cleaner.
- Repeat this step using the same color pipe cleaner and material until you have six to eight petals. Gather the one-inch tails together and wrap them around a wire flower stem. Wrap the tails and wire stem with florist tape to hold them together and cover up the individual tails.
- Use different-colored pipe cleaners and material to make a bunch of silk flowers following steps 1 and 2. You might want to change the shape of the petals for each flower.
- Place the flowers in a silver vase and tie a silk bow onto the top of the arrangement.
Golden Accents
Making it to a 50-year anniversary is really special. The couple may decide to throw a big party and renew marriage vows. You'll want to be there for them and give them this lovely memento of their wedding day.
Time frame: One to two hours, time to collect and develop pictures
Level: Easy
What you need:
- Wedding photo of the couple
- Photo from their fiftieth wedding anniversary
- Gold leaf frame with two windows
- Gold confetti
- Gold gift bag
- Find a copy of the couple's wedding picture, and place it in one side of the frame.
- Take a picture of the couple at their fiftieth anniversary celebration and have it developed. Insert it into the other side of the frame. Place the gift in a gold gift bag with gold confetti sprinkled inside.

Product Code: 82MAGHD
This is another Crazy Quilt Design! This large Sunflower design looks great with theses color combinations that we used for this sample, but you can even use more earthy colors to create a fall color scheme. Creating Crazy Quilts on an embroidery machine is such an easy technique! The crazy quilt technique has been popular with quilters for years but if aren't a quilter you have probably never tried this amazing technique. If you are a quilter that embroiders as well⦠you can combine both hobbies into this project. There are a multitude of fabrics to choose from so this was a fun way for us to launch this technique. You create a crazy quilt by mixing different fabrics in a patchwork style. There are a few different crazy quilt designs for embroidery machines but the techniques that were used required a lot of steps that involved folding fabric and it took a long time to complete a block. We used a much simpler technique with these designs. The best part about crazy quilts are when they are complete you have a scene with a large icon in the center instead of just a quilt. Our tutorial contains an extensive guide that will demonstrate how to choose your fabrics, create a block and finish the quilt. In the finished wall hanging notice how the bands of fabric continue through the whole design even though they are done in different hoopings.

In for the Penny, in for the Pound – A Look at Penny Matrix
It still surprises me that people get hooked by pyramid schemes, especially as they just don't ring true. How is it that you can pay $7 a month to someone, and yet be able to (theoretically) earn $19,659.60 a month?
I am bad at mathematics, but those figures just don't add up to me.
This is how pyramid schemes roll, they lure you in with promises of vast amounts of money, but the reality is much different, and even if you begin to make some money, one scare and the house of cards comes tumbling down.
It is fair to say that pyramid schemes are like robbing Peter to pay Paul: someone always loses out. With these types of pyramid schemes, the loser is almost definitely going to be you.
I came across Penny Matrix and sighed heavily. Here is another classic scheme, another system to get peoples hopes up and in the end just rip them off.
Let's start with the basics.
The Penny Matrix system at PennyMatrix.com costs $7 a month and uses a 2×14 matrix to reimburse members. As with all classic pyramid schemes, it's a recruitment thing, you have to recruit members below you in order to siphon off money from their membership fees in order to get paid.
You will need to get 16,386 people below you in order to earn $6,553.20, because you only earn, $0.30 cents from each person, no doubt because the rest needs to be spread about to make the system work and of course, line the pockets of the person at the top!
To get that amount of people involved is virtually impossible. Do you know 16,000 people? Could you fill an arena with your friends? Odds are, probably not unless you are a marketer extraordinaire. In which case you would be running the scheme or better yet promoting legitimate goods.
As such, it is very unlikely you will make much money with a scheme like this, certainly nowhere near the fabled $19,659.60 a month mentioned earlier.
Is the Penny Matrix a Scam?
Penny Matrix goes one step beyond the standard pyramid scheme and tries to legitimize the whole system. It does this by offering a free eBook every month from its wide selection of rather poor eBooks. They consist of some business eBooks, marketing of course, some public domain books, and so forth. My favorite is the single book on bricklaying, which actually has its own category!
These books are not there to be sold by members, like in some systems where the members turn a profit from the sales of physical or digital products, in fact back in 2012 Penny Matrix didn't sell these books to the public at all, they were purely a free gift every month to the members of the system.
Fast forward to now and Penny Matrix is still trying to legitimize its scam. The books are still supplied one a month to the members, but you can also purchase the eBooks without signing up. That is, if you want to spend $16.50 on literature that you can get for free with a little googling, such as the public domain Shakespeare.
The Bottom Line
Is the Penny Matrix a scam?
No matter how they try to legitimize this system by providing eBooks and selling them, you yourself are not selling anything, you are just being paid by other members membership fees.
It is a classic pyramid or ponzi schema and these are classified as fraudulent activities via the FTC.
If the money you make is based on your sales to the public, it may be a legitimate multilevel marketing plan. If the money you make is based on the number of people you recruit and your sales to them, it's not. It's a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of participants lose money.
You can possibly turn a profit with this system, but unless you get thousands, tens of thousands of people below you it will certainly not be much.
Avoid this scheme at all costs.

Sorry but they are technically not illegal. They wouldn't last that long if they were. It is MLM and MLM is not illegal. If there is a product involved then they are perfectly legit. Most of these businesses know what they are doing and know how to cover themselves. I suppose we will have to agree to disagree here though.

I would say that Penny Matrix has been quite confusing
since Tracy is no longer promoting or working with PM.He will not be issuing refunds either.

I always enjoy reading your posts, although this is my first comment. I am a PI into internet marketing. I bust scams as well as other things. It really amazes me as to the level of excitement over these programs. Pyramids are older than Ponzie, but people act like it is the newest thing since the iphone. What's worse is the FTC does not seem to care, and your quote above, direct from the FTC, I have on my site, but people still want to say I am stupid and do not know what I am talking about. Really? I have a degree in Criminal Justice

Steve, IO received an E-Mail from you several weeks ago, where you were going to review Empower Network. What were your findings?

Simple "spaghetti" and meatballs, the perfect Italian comfort food with a twist: zucchini sliced into ribbons to replace the pasta. Outstanding on its own but if you're having a family get-together, or a band of friends charging over, then add in a platter of antipasti and a big crispy salad with garlicky lemon vinaigrette. And wine! Maybe Chianti, Pinot Noir, or a big spicy Zinfandel.
Eat up.
- 1lb ground beef, 80/20
- 1/2lb Sweet Italian sausage
- 1/4c chopped fresh parsley – hold a pinch back to use with the zucchini
- 1/4c chopped ramps – hold a pinch back to use with the zucchini, you can substitute scallion, shallot, or chive for the ramps
- A few pinches of salt
- Several grinds of pepper
- 3c tomato sauce, warmed on the stove
- 3 zucchini, sliced thinly
8×8 baking dish
Oven to 450
Combine ground beef, sausage, parsley, ramps, salt, pepper, and mix by hand until all ingredients are fully combined.
Roll the mixture into round meatballs about 1-1/2" and place into the baking dish. It's totally cool if they're touching.
Roast for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and very carefully drain some of the grease that has accumulated in the pan. You don't have to do this step but I like to.
Pour the heated sauce over the meatballs and return to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes.
While the meatballs are finishing in the oven take a mandolin, sharp knife, or vegetable peeler and thinly slice the zucchini into ribbons. You can quickly steam them but the heat from the sauce and meatballs warms the zucchini up nicely I've found, so my preference is raw. Toss with the saved pinches of parsley and ramps.
Remove the meatballs from the oven. Plate the zucchini ribbons and top with the meatballs and sauce.
Serves 2-3

The numerous references in the media to the newborn son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as "the future king of England" are troubling. We all know, sadly, how that worked out. Even so-called "royal" families are subject to the vicissitudes of life.
Who could have foreseen in the last century that Edward VIII would abdicate and his younger brother ascend to the throne as George VI? All one can say today with certainty is that Prince Charles is the heir apparent to succeed his mother, Elizabeth II. Charles's older son, William, the Duke of Cambridge, is second in line, and the infant George is third.
Reporters and commentators on British monarchic succession would do well to refrain from prophecy and simply stick to the facts.

Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control |
The construction process creates a significant amount of silt and sediment in a short period of time. The goal of this minimum control is to reduce pollutants in any storm water runoff. This requirement is applicable for construction activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre. Also included in the requirements is any construction activity disturbing less than one acre if the construction activity is part of a larger common plan of development of sale that would disturb one acre or more.
The design of Construction Site storm water controls shall be in accordance with the Ohio EPA's Construction General Permit #OHC000004, the City of Oregon's Storm Water Management Plan, and Codified Ordinances of Oregon, Ohio Section 1177.06 Storm Sewers.
Construction Permit (CGP)Construction site storm water runoff is regulated by the OHIO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AUTHORIZATION FOR STORM WATER DISCHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY UNDER THE NATIONAL DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (Ohio EPA Permit No.: OHC000004). This permit came into effect on April 11, 2013 under the Ohio EPA's Constuction Storm Water Program.
Notice of IntentAccording to the Ohio EPA Permit No. OHC000004, "Operators that discharge storm water associated with construction activity must submit an NOI application form in accordance with the requirements of Part II of this permit to obtain authorization to discharge under this general permit." The Notice of Intent (NOI) can be found on the Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water's website Program Forms and Permits.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention PlanA Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) shall be developed for each site covered by the storm water general permit. The SWP3 shall fulfill the requirements of the Ohio EPA Permit.
Construction Site InspectionThe Ohio EPA Permit No. OHC000004 states, "At a minimum, procedures in an SWP3 shall provide that all controls on the site are inspected at least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours after any storm greater than one-half inch of rain per 24 hour period." The Construction Site Inspection Checklist can be utilized to assure that all Best Management Practices all working properly.
Erosion and Sediment Control for Small Lot ConstructionPer Ohio EPA, "For residential or commercial developments with sublots, NPDES permit coverage must be continued on every lot until the lot achieves final stabilization as defined in Part VII of the CGP. For developments with a centralized control (i.e., sediment settling ponds or inlet protection), which receives drainage from multiple lots, the developer may be required to maintain the centralized control until all of the homes are built with the land temporarily stabilized."
The City of Oregon issued requirements for erosion and sediment control for small lot construction sites on January 30, 2004.
Design Resources"Ohio EPA recommends that the erosion, sediment, and storm water management practices used to satisfy the conditions of this permit (CGP), should meet the standards and specifications in the current edition of Ohio's Rainwater and Land Development manual.
The City of Oregon also uses the Storm Water Management Standards Manual, Second Edition, September 2006, by the Maumee River Regional Storm Water Coalition and the Maumee River RAP Urban Runoff Action Group, as a guide in storm water design.

The Communications Arts Academy at August Martin High School in Jamaica unveiled its upgraded state-of-the-art multi-media studio on Friday, made possible through more than $1 million in funds allocated by the late City Councilman Tom White Jr., for whom the space is named.
Studio 316, also known as the Honorable Thomas White Jr. Media Center, features numerous high-definition cameras, a teleprompter, an editing suite equipped with the Final Cut Pro program, X-Serve Video Server, a multi-format live switcher, digital mixing console and upgraded studio lighting.
"The spirit of Councilman White is going to live on, and you guys are going to do tremendous things in this studio," Principal Anthony Cromer told students. "The expectations on you all just jumped ten-fold, because we expect so many great things."
Cromer and Assistant Principal Michele Washington both said White's decision to fund the studio came from his strong belief in education and the need for it to evolve so students can compete in the global economy.
Even before the studio was upgraded August Martin students had made great strides in the communications field. In 2003, they won a national student Emmy award in technical achievement from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, for a documentary entitled "A Black History Joint," among other honors.
Communications student Bradley Macena, 17, of Jamaica, who aspires to work behind the scenes as a movie producer or film editor, said he can't wait to work in the studio and learn how to use the new gear.
"I'm excited because I have been waiting since my freshman year to get in there and start touching equipment and learning new things," Macena said. "I was undecided about what career I wanted and then when I learned more about communication arts, I became attracted to it."
The school has created partnerships with the Apollo Theater Academy, Downtown Community Television Center and Fox TV to help provide the students with further hands-on training.
White's son, Brian, and mother, Marie were in attendance at the ribbon-cutting, along with several area lawmakers including White's successor Councilman Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica).
"This is truly an honor and a testament to my father's legacy of improving education for young people," Bryan White said. "I think August Martin has benefited from his efforts, and the students will definitely have a studio where they can use their imaginations and create a lot of great things."

GoneDigging has a fabulous range of personalised Newcastle United merchandise, including unique memorabilia and many great gift ideas. Below you will find a selection of our most popular Newcastle United gifts, in addition to a few interesting facts about the Magpies.
Newcastle United was founded in 1892, when Newcastle East End FC took over Newcastle West End FC following the financial difficulties of the western club. Newcastle United was elected into the Football League in 1893 and the club enjoyed much success in the early 1900s, winning the First Division title in 1905, 1907 and 1909. Newcastle United also formed an enviable record in the FA Cup, winning the competition three times before the Second World War and winning a further three Cups between 1951 and 1955. Newcastle qualified for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup for the first time in 1968 and the Magpies won the competition the following year.
By the 1990s, the club's form had dramatically declined. When former player Kevin Keegan returned to manage the side in 1992, Newcastle United was struggling at the bottom of Division Two. However, 'King Kev' turned the club's fortunes around by implementing an attacking style of football. His Newcastle team was even labelled "The Entertainers" by Sky television and football fans. The Magpies finished as runners-up of the league in 1996 and 1997 and competed in Europe at the start of the new millennium, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006.
Newcastle United FC is known as "The Toon" and "The Toon Army", both in reference to the way in which Geordies pronounce the word 'Town'. However, the most common nickname for the club remains "The Magpies". A pair of magpies used to nest in the Old Victorian Stand of St. James' Palace and many think this was the inspiration for the black and white kit of Newcastle United, which the club has used since 1894.
The Magpies have played at St James' Park Stadium since the foundation of the club and it was previously the home ground of Newcastle West End FC. St. James' Park is the oldest football ground in Northern England and currently boasts a capacity of over 52,000. The stadium is located in Newcastle city centre, adjacent to St. James' Metro Station. The easy access has made it an ideal candidate for International football matches and the ground has also hosted rock concerts for acts such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Queen.
We offer an exciting range of Personalised Newcastle United Gifts, which include various items of club memorabilia. These presents can be kept for years to come and they are a terrific idea for any fan of the Magpies.
Our Personalised Newcastle United Football Book incorporates a variety of match reports from the past one hundred years. Written by journalists who were there at the time, this reproduced newspaper coverage forms a fascinating record of some of the biggest games in the club's history.
The Newcastle United Football Book opens with the 1905 FA Cup final against Aston Villa and it goes on to feature every FA Cup win that the club has enjoyed since its foundation. The book contains the 1976 League Cup win and the triumphant Inter-Cities Fairs Cup campaign of 1969. We also incorporate other exciting European fixtures, such as the 4-0 win against Olympiacos in 2005 and the stunning 3-2 defeat of Barcelona in the 1997 Champions League. League highlights include various title-winning matches and promotion-clinching games. We also feature a thrilling selection of high-scoring contests, including the 7-1 thrashing of Manchester United in 1927 and the 7-1 mauling of Tottenham Hotspur in 1996. The Football Book includes articles on range of historic Newcastle moments, such as Kevin Keegan's debut as a player and his appointment as club manager. There is also the signing of Alan Shearer in 1996, his incredible five goal performance against Sheffield Wednesday in 1999 and his final game for the Magpies in 2006.
Twelve of the best match-reports are also featured in our Personalised Newcastle United Diary and Personalised Newcastle United Calendar, which are smartly presented and can start from the month of your choice.
Our Newcastle United Season Books feature a more in-depth record of a particular season. These high-quality A4 books will take you through all the key events of your chosen campaign. They include reproduced reports on European and domestic cup competitions, in addition to the twists and turns of the fight for the Premiership title.

England v South Africa: Amla & De Villiers help Proteas draw series
Fifth one-day international, Trent Bridge: |
South Africa 186-3 (34.3 overs) beat England 182 (45.2 overs) by seven wickets |
Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers hit half-centuries as South Africa cruised to a seven-wicket victory to tie the one-day series with England 2-2.
Amla stroked a majestic 97 not out and De Villiers cracked an unbeaten 75 after James Anderson (2-41) helped reduce the tourists to 14-3.
England were guilty of poor shot selection in their 182 all out.
Alastair Cook top scored with 51, while Robin Peterson took 3-37 and Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel took two wickets each.
It was fitting it was Amla who helped South Africa level the series, in a summer in which he has dominated the England bowlers.
"England have been extremely disappointing here. These are two great teams that have won two games apiece, so from a distance you'd think that the series has been a cracker, but the games have been one-sided.
"The one plus from the series is that, although he fell today, Ian Bell has a slot there as an opening batsman. Tredwell showed he's a good stand-in for Swann, and although people criticise his strike rate, if Trott had played today, he might have shored things up."
England's total may have been inadequate but South Africa were wobbling early in their reply after Jade Dernbach induced a Graeme Smith edge to second slip, before Anderson had the nervous Faf du Plessis and Dean Elgar caught behind.
However, another assured and classy innings by Amla, complemented by a counter-attacking knock from De Villiers, saw the tourists to a comfortable victory.
After scoring 482 runs in the Test series, which South Africa won 2-0, Amla took his run tally to 335 in the one-day series and 817 for the summer.
England could only blame themselves for posting such a disappointing score in good conditions on a pitch which did nothing out of the ordinary for the bowlers.
The tone was set when opener Ian Bell, who looked in good form, missed a straight one from spinner Robin Peterson in the fourth over.
Ravi Bopara followed soon after when he was dismissed for a second-ball duck by Steyn - meaning he ends the five-match series with an average of 5.5 from his four innings.
The Essex batsman was elevated to number three in the absence of the injured Jonathan Trott, but his dismissal was one of a man shorn of any confidence as he edged a routine delivery behind while standing rooted to his crease.
Cook and Jonny Bairstow repaired some of the damage, putting on 55 for the third wicket, but, as they started to regain some momentum, they were separated.
Bairstow was beginning to dominate the Proteas bowling when he went to 29 with a lovely pull for four off Morne Morkel, but the Yorkshire youngster got carried away next ball when he flicked one deep into the leg side and watched with horror as he picked out Justin Ontong on the boundary.
It was a poor way to lose a wicket, and almost as bad as Eoin Morgan in the next over.
The Irishman came running down the track to part-time bowler JP Duminy and hit the ball straight to Amla at mid-off.
England's only hope of a big score rested with their skipper, but Cook was guilty of poor shot selection himself as he drove a full toss straight back to another occasional bowler in Du Plessis.
From there, wickets tumbled regularly as England struggled to form any good partnerships - Craig Kieswetter and Chris Woakes offering the only resistance with 33 runs each.
It appeared the total might be enough when Anderson and Dernbach exploited some early movement in South Africa's reply, but once Amla and De Villiers took control there was only going to be one winner.

I completely agree. Bringing Bopara back for this ODI series has to be one of the biggest selection blunders in English cricket for many years. -
Comment number 48.
6th September 2012 - 12:49Helping a man in turmoil is a good cause. I don't think allowing Bopara to fail so publicly, and add to the likelihood of his team's demise, will have helped him in any way. It was a risky strategy and one that failed. Bopara should not have been selected for any of the ODIs.

6th September 2012 - 12:47#46 why would you want to play with a 10 man team!!!!?
Comment number 46.
6th September 2012 - 12:05Have I missed something? Cook as poor choice of captain? For what, tests? I'm pretty sure we've not actually played one with him at the helm yet. ODIs? 10 wins from 12 this year is hardly the mark of a poor captain. One bad game against a superb side (ODI series drawn, not lost) and the world goes mad. People need to get a grip!
Comment number 45.
6th September 2012 - 10:50With the Skipper out lets have some best line-ups for the tests in India then,assuming KP's banished cos it's more fun.
I'd go for:
Tredwell or Finn (depending on pitch)
Ok, so not hugely different... but surely this is our best test squad?

I see many page ideas but generally they are only for one page. Other than the first and last page of the book, there will always be two pages side by side, so how do you decide your layout? Do you always use the same background paper on both pages or just coordinating? or do you care if the two pages are similar at all? Do the pages need to have the same theme? like bday on both or one page with bday and the other page something completely different? I think my biggest issue is that I lack the ability to coordinate colors. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi. Personally, I don't care if the papers coordinate - it's nice if the subject on both pages is of the same theme, but lots of times they just aren't! |
- Posted by concretenprimroses (My Page) on Sat, Jan 24, 09 at 17:40
For me it depends. I like to do double page layouts but if I only have 3 pictures of something I don't. I don't worry about it. Thought sometimes its hard to make it turn out right if I want things in a certain sequence. Almost all of my heritage album layouts are double page with the same background paper on both pages. have fun kathy |

Hadden Clark was born in April 1951 in Troy, Connecticut. He is a cross-dressing serial killer, necrophile and cannibal. He was convicted of the murders of Michelle Dorr, 6, and Laura Houghteling, 23, though he has confessed to many more, and claims to have killed his first victim, another boy, at the age of 14, and covered it up with the help of his father. Called "Retard" by his father, and Kristen by his mother when she was drunk. His father beat him for cross dressing. Until his conviction for murder he spent 45 days in jail, all sentences for his other convictions were suspended. He claims to have used one victim's fingers as bait for surf fishing. He is the second born of four children.
Clark was born to a well-off, distinguished, highly educated, yet highly dysfunctional family. His mother could trace her ancestry back to the Revolutionary War and then all the way to the Mayflower. His father, Hadden Sr., was the inventor of clear-clinging plastic wrap and fire-retardant carpeting. None of that helped save the children from the parents' highly dysfunctional drinking habits, that often became violent in front of Hadden, his brothers, Bradfield and Geoff, and later his baby sister Alison. The youngest, Geoff, got a good education, a good job, married and had three kids, but the marriage ended amidst accusations of domestic violence and abuse, of which he was convicted and given a suspended sentence. Bradfield also got a good education, and made his way into the growing business of computers, but had problems with drug and alcohol abuse that culminated in his murdering his date and co-worker Patricia Mak, 29, in 1984. Possibly a hint as to what was going on just below the surface with his younger brother Hadden, Bradfield bludgeoned Mak with a cinder block, strangled her to death, cut her up into 11 pieces, cooked her breasts on his barbecue and ate them. Later he felt bad about it and turned himself in. Bradfield was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the murder.
Hadden mostly enjoyed hurting people, even for the slightest offense. From a young age he was dressed in frilly girls' clothing by his mother, a habit that he kept throughout his life. She had wanted a girl, and undaunted by Hadden's sex, dressed him as one and called him Kristen when she was drunk. He decapitated and displayed pets on their owner's doorsteps when he felt slighted. Initially a promising chef, but antisocial behavior, like peeing in the food and chugging beef blood, got him shut out of the restaurant business. Clark had already killed multiple times when living at his grandfather's in Providence, Rhode Island, when he decided to give the U.S. Navy a shot. His cross dressing and frilly ladies' underwear got him beaten up often enough that the Navy gave him a medical discharge for paranoid schizophrenia. Clark wound up staying in Maryland with his brother Geoff, briefly, before he was bounced out for masturbating on front of the children. Particularly galling was that his niece, 6, had called him a retard.
Before he moved out, he vented his rage by killing her best friend and next-door neighbor Michelle Dorr. Clark lured Michelle to his niece's empty room, slashed her to death with one of his culinary knives, tried to have sex with the body, cleaned up the mess and dumped the remains, but not before tasting her flesh. Police quickly settled on Michelle's father as a suspect, though they were never able to charge him, and the murder went unsolved for years.
After that Clark just got weirder, more vindictive and more unstable. When Clark's mother caught him stealing from her he beat her and tried to hit her with his truck. When a landlord evicted him, Clark vandalized the family's home, robbed them and killed their cats, putting one at the door and one on the stove. He later became attached to an older woman, Penny Houghteling, who hired him to do yard work. He killed her daughter, Laura, out of jealousy. Creepily enough he was dressed in Penny's clothing and wearing a wig at the time. Clark was implicated in the murder pretty quickly, arrested and charged. He led investigators to a cache of more than 200 pieces of jewelry, hidden on his grandfather's property, that he claimed to have taken as tokens from his other victims. While in prison her confessed to another prisoner, who he thought was Jesus, about killing Michelle Dorr. Ultimately he would show police to the body.
Hadden Clark is in a Maryland prison serving two thirty-year sentences for murder, plus ten years for robbing his old landlord.

To get a sense of some of the most pressing environmental issues facing Montana, consider the Environmental Quality Council's agenda — controlling wolf populations, hunting and fishing license reform, sage grouse protection and the increasing cost of fighting wildland fires.
These were just part of the agenda for the council's two-day meeting in Helena on Wednesday and Thursday. The 17-member committee, composed of legislators and members of the public, reviews environmental issues and conducts studies assigned by the Legislature. This year, the group has a full plate. Here are some of the highlights from Thursday's meeting.
Sage grouse
With the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ordered to decide whether to list the sage grouse as an endangered species by 2015, Western states have been working to establish their own management plans.
"If you think the wolf was a big issue for Montana, it's a piker compared to sage grouse," said Sen. Bradley Hamlett, D-Cascade, who sits on the council and the governor's advisory committee.
The governor has appointed a sage grouse advisory committee which has scheduled 10 meetings between now and October. The plan is to have a draft out in October with a final report recommended by late November. Gov. Steve Bullock would then have until early January to make any adjustments with a plan finalized by the end of January, said Jeff Hagener, director of Montana Fish, Wildilfe and Parks.
Council member Sen. John Brenden, R-Scobey, suggested that halting the state's hunting season for sage grouse may satisfy concerns expressed by some of the state's partners. Hagener noted that, scientifically, hunting hasn't been seen as affecting the bird's population, but the perception is that if oil and gas leasing may be disallowed in certain areas because the birds are few, then hunting shouldn't be allowed.
Wildland fires
Montana's wildland firefighting costs went up by $6.5 million because of large fires, said Bob Harrington, state forester for the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.
The reason is that fires have gotten larger and therefore require more people and equipment to fight.
This year's outlook improved considerably with May rains, pushing back the start of the season until mid to late July, Harrington said. By this time last year, three large fires were already burning, including the Dahl and Ash Creek fires in southeastern Montana.
This season, the area of primary concern is southwestern Montana, where drought has overlapped with mountain pine beetle-killed trees. But as Harrington noted, depending on the weather, lightning strikes and arson, "anything can happen."
Fishing and hunting licenses
The EQC has been ordered to review the variety and cost of the state's fishing and hunting licenses.
Nick Gevock, of the Montana Wildlife Federation, said his group would like to see the council give the Fish and Game Commission the ability to raise license fees so that increases could be more incremental, instead of large jumps approved by the Legislature every 10 years or so.
Joe Perry, of the Montana Sportsmen Alliance, said resident license fees need to be increased to more closely match other Western states and licenses that fund specific programs need to be addressed.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks has already formed its own group that is challenged to make the licensing process as simple as possible, Hagener said. The group is expected to issue a report in September.
Wolf numbers
"Wolf numbers in the state have, over the years, been on a pretty steep incline," Hagener said.
In 2010, the wolf population in Montana was estimated at 556. It grew to 653 in 2011 and dipped to 625 last year.
"We feel pretty good about that because we stabilized the growth of the wolves, and we believe a lot of that is attributed to hunting and trapping," Hagener said.
In 2009, 72 wolves were killed in the state's first hunting season. The season was halted in 2010, but resumed in 2011 with 166 wolves killed . Last year, 225 wolves were taken. Out of the 2012 wolf kills, 128 were taken by hunters, with 97 killed by trappers.
The federal Wildlife Services agency removed 141 wolves in 2010, 64 in 2011 and 108 last year. So far this year, the agency has killed 33 wolves and a landowner has killed one.
Adding up both sets of numbers, since 2009 810 wolves have been killed (excluding Wildlife Service's take in 2009). Since 2010, 384 sheep and cattle deaths have been attributed to wolves.
"We think it's appropriate to bring the (wolf) population down to a lower level," Hagener said.
To that end, FWP has proposed extending the season and allowing a single hunter to kill up to five wolves a season. So far, the agency has received about 20,000 comments on the proposal. Comments will be taken until Monday.
Last year, 18,642 residents and 247 nonresidents bought wolf hunting licenses. The license sales generated more than $437,000 in revenue. By law, the state is required to allocate $900,000 to wolf management, 50 percent to lethal control and 50 percent to monitoring.
Kim Bean, representing Wolves of the Rockies, said the council needed to consider easing the take of wolves outside Yellowstone National Park, partly because they provide a boost to tourism in the area. She said the removal of wolves is not proportional to the amount of livestock they kill and that money should be spent on educating the public about the predators.
The council meets again Sept. 11-12 in Helena.

Tool tests on the fast track
Tool Tips
Six Linux tools reviewed: FISH 2.0.0, BAD 0.0.2, BLINK, FPING 3.5, LNAV 0.5.0, TOMB 1.4
Alternative Shell
Source: http://fishshell.com
License: GPLv2
Alternatives: Bash, Dash, Z shell
Fish is a command-line interpreter with interesting additional features. At first glance, the shell looks much like Bash, but this changes when you enter the first command. Thanks to syntax highlighting, the program emphasizes incomplete commands in red, correct commands in blue, and parameters in turquoise.
Fish also tries to guess commands and parameters and makes suggestions while you are typing by drawing on the history of the current session. The developers have also implemented tab completion, pipes, and redirection.
For a surprise, try typing help
. The shell does not display a list of available commands but opens the online help in your default browser. This browser also launches when you type fish_config
. You can then click to turn features on and off and view the history. A look at the project page – and especially the tutorial – is recommended, especially for users who are interested in scripting with Fish.
Fish is an interesting alternative shell for Linux and OS X users. Besides the standard functions, the tool impresses with syntax highlighting and autocompletion suggestions as you type.
Monitoring backup directories
Source: https://github.com/SaviorPhoenix/bad
License: GPLv2
Alternatives: Pirysncd, Pirysncd
The backup daemon monitors a user-defined directory, creates MD5 sums for newly added data, and then copies the data to another folder. The the tool does not perform the actual data backup. You need another program to back up the target folder.
Bad takes changes in subdirectories into consideration, but only up to the first level. Bad learns from the kernel's inotify feature about changes that have happened on the filesystem. In a personal configuration file ~/.bad/config
a user can define watch_dir
and backup_dir
to specify which folder the daemon monitors and where it copies new data.
Additional settings are defined in call parameters. For example, -d
switches the program to dry-run mode for test purposes; -l
changes the log level, -n
disables hashing, and -N
enables recursive backups. The daemon does not log its actions in the default directory /var/log
; rather, it uses the users' home directories in the ~/.bad/log
Bad is still a young project, and so far it only has a few advanced features. However, the tool has potential and it's worth keeping an eye on.
Lean Blog Engine
Source: http://tinybashcgis.tuxfamily.org
License: GPL
Alternatives: Blazeblogger
Anyone looking for a handy blog engine should take a look at Blink. After unpacking the archive, copy the cgi-bin
directory to the documents folder on your web server and make sure the CGI files it contains are executable.
Blink manages several blogs in directories below cgi-bin/blink
. If you want one of them to record comments, you need to create an additional .comments
directory in the blog folder. If you want use CSS, you must modify the HTML code in the script; the README.blink
file explains how to do this. Blink sorts blog entries by their modification dates.
The post link lets users open a form in which to compose texts. Similarly, a click on Comment pops up an input field for comments. The text area is limited to 500 words in both cases; the engine understands HTML tags and entities. As a protection against spambots, users need to type the current month before posting. A simple search function is also included.
The slim blog engine is especially suitable for smaller networks or home computers. It lacks sophisticated access controls, so admins will want to consider carefully whether they want to operate Blink in the open on the web.
