Occidental Fools Day Parade
Date: April Fools Day
After one tough winter in 2004, local resident Kate Price thought "enough is enough." So, she decided to generate some joy in her community and create a celebration that would honor the creative, fun loving, artistic spirit in the town she loved and lived in, Occidental.
What about a Fool's Day Parade? As she talked to people in the community and the idea developed, the event started sounding a lot like the old "Silly Day" celebration that Zero the Clown (aka Ramon Sender) started in Occidental back in 1973. Obviously, that spirit of silliness and tomfoolery lives in Occidental, because everyone was quick to embrace this newest incarnation of the fun-loving celebration. Within a few short years, the Occidental Fool's Day Parade has grown into a much-loved Sonoma County event.
Come in costume and march in the parade. Or, come in costume and cheer from the sidelines. Or don't come in costume. Do what you want; do what makes your silly spirit soar–this is Occidental.
Parade starts at 1 pm at the Community Center, winds it's way through downtown Occidental and ends up at OCA for Lunapillar rides, refreshments, spontaneous entertainment including music and clowns and other surprises.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Meme!
Facts about Meme
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Meme's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Meme can be a little shy at first but she loves belly rubs enough to overcome shyness. She is only 2 months old (we write this on Valentine's Day) so she is still figuring out what to think about humans. We are sure she will realize humans are awesome cuddle-buddie and playmates. Nevertheless, we want Meme to have a feline friends (a cat loving pup will do as well) at her new home while her humans are at work.
Meme was born in a warehouse in Brooklyn to a very sweet mom named Dolly. The whole family is looking for new digs.
Other Pets at North Brooklyn Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Meme, a Brooklyn Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

Okay, we might be exaggerating a bit there, but you can't tell us that gazing at inspiring ensembles isn't a nice break from a hectic day! As such, we enlisted the help of photographer Adam Katz Sinding of Le 21eme to round up an assortment of jaw-dropping looks worth drooling over.

They go really bad. Now I have lost my thumb drive, the heart and soul of my writing. Yes I have copies of my stuff but the very latest versions were on this thumb drive, including the only version of chapter two and three of my latest WIP.
And I have traveled to hell and back today, the doctor's office, pharmacy, college registrar to sign my son up for another round of dance. Then to work, lunch at Subway, because now I got to be like Jared. When is that dude's fifteen minutes up anyway? Then Critique group. Damn, Damn, Damn. What are the chances I'll find it or somehow get it back? My bet says None drags Slim out the back door kicks his skinny arse.
Did I already say Damn, Damn , Damn?
Once upon a time this blog was called One Word, One Rung, One Day in reference to my pursuit of seeing one of my novel's published. Like all fairy tales that name had a happy ending. Having achieved that goal, I changed the name to better reflect a few of my favorite things in this world.

Damn Travis....Sorry isn't a word that is even appropriate for your situation. I don't even think a hallmark card would be appropriate.
These things come in threes, right? You have had, well, more than three. Lets hope tomorrow you get offered a contract to make up for the hell that today has brought to your door.

Directed by Andrzej Wajda, "Ashes and Diamonds," a film about the personal and political confusions in post-war Poland, has been called by some his best work. The picture is the concluding panel of Wajda's trilogy about WWII that began with "A Generation" and continued with "Kanal."
The entire tale takes place on the final day (actually less than 24 hours) of the War in a small town, where a young freedom fighter, played by the appealing actor Zbigniew Cybulski, is forced to assassinate another Pole (a Party officer) for being a communist, even though both are committed to the idea of a new Poland.
It's a provocative film about politics, taking sides, and the effect of the positions we occupy on our everyday life. While the commitment to a better social order is steady, particular allegiances shift under the changing conditions. Broader political context is crucial since the Russians are about to move in and replace the German occupiers.
Labeled as the Polish James Dean, Cybulski had a promising career, until his life was cut short by a tragedy, when he was killed in a railway accident. For some critics, Cybulski was a cross between Dean and John Lennon (due to sporting similar wire-rimmed glasses), and the irony of that comparison is that Dean was dead in 1955, age 25, and Lennon was killed in 1980, at age 40, the same age that Cybulski was.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Against the predictions of all oddsmakers, the Big Sky All-Stars won their semifinal game at the Little League World Series on Wednesday night 1-0 against the West Region champs from Huntington Beach, Calif.
The extra-inning victory puts the players in the U.S. championship game on Saturday at 1 p.m. Mountain time. Big Sky will play the winner of Thursday night's loser-out game between the Oceanview All-Stars from Huntington Beach, Calif., and the "hometown" favorite Keystone All-Stars from Clinton County, Pa.
The winner of Saturday's game will face the winner of the international bracket in the World Series Championship on Sunday, also at 1 p.m.
Asked at a news conference after the game if he was surprised by the victory, Big Sky manager Gene Carlson said yes, but he reiterated the philosophy he's carried throughout the World Series.
"We just play it one game at a time, one pitch at a time," he said. "If things go our way, so be it."
He also had a simple answer for the agenda for the next couple of days: "Practice, practice, practice."
Both teams played great defense, keeping the score 0-0 until the seventh inning. Little League games are usually six innings.
In the bottom of the seventh, left fielder Ben Askelson stepped to the plate, and after one strike, banged the ball over the left-field wall for a home run.
After the sudden end to the game, the Big Sky fans erupted into cheers, tears and hugs.
"I am just overwhelmed and happy for my son and all these boys," said Rosanne Askelson, Ben's mom. "We always have hope because we know Ben can hit, and in my heart of hearts, I knew he could do it. And he did it."
Dave Maehl, whose son Andy played catcher, said the victory was unbelievable.
"It's amazing, these kids just keep doing it. They're our heroes," he said. "They just find a way every single game to get it done."
"It's an amazing game," said Erin Zimmer, mother of third baseman Patrick Zimmer. "I am just thrilled for these kids. They never give up, and everybody contributed. It was awesome."
Several rows of family and friends sat together in their gold-and-black jerseys in the bleachers above the first-base line. The Montana fans spent the game calling encouragement to the players on the field.
A group of bare-chested young men often started the crowd cheering. With good defense on the part of both teams, the game was often tense for the fans.
Big Sky players Zimmer, second baseman Connor Kieckbusch, pitcher Cole McKenzie and Askelson joined Carlson at the news conference.
Asked about his homer, Ben said he was thinking curveball right before the ball was pitched to him, and that's what he got. He said as soon as he hit it, he knew it was a home run.
Carlson praised the Oceanview team's effort.
"We knew they were a tough team," he said. "We knew they had pitching we probably hadn't seen in a while, we knew they had good hitters top to bottom."
Carlson said he and his team would probably be in the stadium on Thursday night to watch California play Keystone. The boys said they were rooting for the Huntington Beach players, whom they became friends with in San Bernardino, to win Thursday night.
Wednesday night's victory puts the Big Sky Little League All-Stars' record at 20-1 since the start of the All-Stars season. The team surprised a lot of people by becoming the first team from Montana to win the Northwest Region championship in San Bernardino, Calif.
Then, in the World Series, the team became one of only four undefeated teams, winning its first two games against the Midwest champs, the Harney All-Stars from Rapid City, S.D., and the Southwest champs, the All-Stars from Lafayette, La.

Women's College Basketball: St. Xavier unveils Bob Hallberg Court
By Steve Millar For Sun-Times Media November 13, 2013 10:16PM

Updated: December 15, 2013 11:59AM
St. Xavier women's basketball coach and athletic director Bob Hallberg has had some memorable nights in a coaching career that spans 47 years and includes 906 wins.
Wednesday night topped them all.
Hallberg had the court at the Shannon Center named after him in a ceremony before the Cougars' season opener against Trinity International.
"I've had some great nights in my coaching career," Hallberg said. "I remember wins over Illinois and Marquette and many great teams. This tops anything I've done. This is permanent. Those wins you forget, but this is always going to be there.
"I always thought to have a court named after you, you had to be dead. It's great to be here and see this while I'm still alive."
Before the game, St. Xavier president Christine Wiseman addressed the crowd saying "in the St. Xavier women's basketball program coach Hallberg has created a national contender. In himself, he's created another Chicago basketball legend."
Members of the 1971 St. Xavier men's team, Hallberg's first team, and the 2000 women's team — the first women's squad in program history — unveiled the Bob Hallberg Court logos, featuring the coach's signature.
"Hallberg is like a second father to us," said Gary Hickerson, a member of the '71 team.
Hallberg's charges had little trouble in Wednesday's game, rolling to an 87-46 win over the Trojans behind 22 points and 13 rebounds from Morgan Stuut, 17 points from Sidney Prasse and 12 points from Suzie Broski.
The Cougars, coming off an exhibition win over UIC, led 43-25 at the half and blew out Trinity in the second half.
"Coach Hallberg is a great guy," Stuut said. "He always extends a hand for us to come talk to him about anything, not just basketball.
"It was really cool to be a part of this. Then to play the way we did on top of it was great."
According to St. Xavier, Hallberg is just the sixth collegiate women's basketball coach in the country to have a court named after him.
After the game, Wiseman announced the school was establishing the Bob Hallberg Scholarship to be awarded annually to a scholar-athlete.
"People will walk into this gym in the future and ask 'Who was Bob Hallberg?' " Hallberg said. "He was someone who loved coaching, loved all his players and above all loved his family and friends who came out here tonight."
Hallberg is the only coach in the history of St. Xavier women's basketball, taking over the program before its initial season in 2000. He's won at least 21 games in every year since and has taken the Cougars to the NAIA National Tournament the last 11 seasons.
He's been the athletic director at St. Xavier since 2001.
Beginning his head coaching career at Kennedy High School in 1966, the Oak Lawn resident took over the St. Xavier men's program in 1971 and also had stints coaching the men's teams at Chicago State and UIC.
Hallberg played at Leo and Chicago Teacher's College, which became Chicago State.
"One thing about St. Xavier is it gives you a chance to fulfill your dreams," Hallberg said.

Amigurumi: Cutifying Even the Worst of Alien Horrors
There's not much that's cute about EA's Dead Space. The very name is terrifying, and the game's Necromorphs are among some of gaming's most disturbing creatures. Basically, it's the worst candidate for amigurumi ever… and yet, look! That little Necromorph is adorable!
Just look at those little yarn tentacle-grippy-crawly things pouring out of his mouth. Okay, actually, he's still pretty creepy, but now in an adorable and harmless way. As long as he remains still, that is. And isn't in the room when I have the lights off. But enough about my future nightmares: how's he look next to the original?
So we've seen Left 4 Dead crochet, and now Dead Space. I'm just waiting for the amigurumi Resident Evil tableau.

King Chaos wants the ability to kill anyone who pisses him off. His highness the mayor thinks he deserves to have the same privilage as the prez. After all, he does have the most corrupt police force in the world.

I have to believe he is suffering PTSS from when he was an altar boy and played pick up the quarter with the priest. Or maybe he is just angry that no priest wanted to play pick-up the quarter with him.
wsmoke commented on the blog post Justice Department Responds on Securitization Fraud Task Force
I would believe a homeless wino begging for money when he said he was going to use the money for something to eat before I would believe these bullshit barons about anything. Talk is cheap and they have told so many lies they don't remember the truth themselves. No action, no justice, just more of nothing from Holder and the DOJ.

until the people remove the majority and minority leaders there will be no change. The entrenched politicians need to go. The people need to adopt a two term and out approach to politics. It's our sewer and it needs cleaning.

wsmoke commented on the blog post Kathy Nickolaus, America's Worst Elected Official, Demoted for Wisconsin Recall Elections
Ah, but she already has the Koch money in her pocket. Isn't this the area Paul Ryan is from? The repubs are trying to clean up their act by passing voter ID laws. If no one but repubs can vote then they won't need to cheat to win elections.

Taking a page from their book, could we just eliminate the 1% and claim we saw their suit and feared for our lives because we thought they were bankers?
wsmoke commented on the blog post Racism and the Right
Actually we are dealing with two problems with the murder of Trayvon. First, we have the racial stereotyping of an individual who is spotted, tracked and ultimately shot by a deranged bigot. Then we have the second problem which is judicial bias caused by friendship between the DA and the killers dad. Remember that Zimmermans dad was a judge and as such friends with the DA and police department. Hence, all the free passes issued to zimmerman from the police department. This is a prime example of justice in America. If your friends with the judge you get a free pass, if not, your screwed.
wsmoke commented on the blog post One Less Choice
I can't see have any self-respecting individual could possibly even consider such a thing much less put it in writing. Evidently these individuals need to experience a little black and blue before they open their mouths. And would they want their daughters in such a relationship? As for el blimpo, he is on his way out.
wsmoke commented on the blog post Time to Get Out of Afghanistan
Time to cut our losses and the military budget. We could downsize the military by two-thirds and invest in the people and infrastructure and prosper. After all, isn't the goal of the repubs to cut the government. Why not start with the most expensive program first?
wsmoke commented on the diary post Bolivia and Argentina: They Said "No" to the Austerity Jackals – and Prospered by Phoenix Woman.
As with any head-up-your-ass military country our austerity is caused by the governments need to increase the military.

However if the military was cut by two-thirds and this money was invested in the people [...]
wsmoke commented on the blog post Proposed Tennessee Law Would ID Abortion Providers, Give Patient Information
Not trying to make anyone feel bad about themselves but, if this is a picture of a repub woman I think I know what the problem is. This woman has a truck in front which seems to mean she is transgender. And we thought the repubs didn't like lgbt's. Me thinks there's more going on in the dark than they will admit.
wsmoke commented on the blog post Crowd Chants "USA! USA!" as Men Kiss During Santorum Rally
probably just bugger them, Santorum should be required to explain how his catholic beliefs can be justified when his church leaders are performing gay acts in church. Being Santorum would be extremely scary. Constantly afraid of women, afraid of the lgbt community, even though lots of the catholic priests are part of it, having nightmares about man on dog, believing women are only a sperm-receptacle for pro-creation. And the scariest of all, knowing there are people willing to follow and support him.
wsmoke commented on the blog post Where In The World Is Andrew Breitbart?
Wine and grass will make you look shitfaced every time.
wsmoke commented on the blog post Pat Robertson Is the Cancer That's Killing Christianity
Santorum should take a lesson from this, this is what happens when you start believing your own BS. Robertson has always been one brick shy of an outhouse, even if he is totally full of shit. Looks like the big guy is just screwing with Robertson during their talks.

wsmoke commented on the blog post Does Rick Santorum Still Think Welfare Moms Are Dirty Sluts?
it's simple really, we just make it a law that any woman who was denied birth control is allowed to hold her sperm donors genitals in her hands while giving birth. One might be amazed how fast birth control would not only be allowed but also free.

I have always loved strawberries. In fact, they are my absolute favorite food. They are so yummy and refreshing. Growing up my favorite cartoon character was Strawberry Shortcake; I even had Strawberry Shortcake sheets, lunch box, curtains, dolls, etc. No, I wasn't obsessed...it was the 80's. So, there was no question in my mind when I saw the Spring 2007 issue of Knitscene on Ravlery in a friend's library that I was going to have to knit the Strawberry Clutch. It was not easy finding a back issue, but I lucked out. As soon as I had the issue in my hands, I immediately ran out and bought some red and green Ella Rae Classic so that I could cast on right away. Here are my strawberries pre-felting/pre-seaming.
This project had a lot of firsts for me. This was my first foray into the wonders of duplicate stitch, and I really enjoyed adding the seeds. Surprisingly, it did not become boring. It is such a versatile technique, and I am looking forward to using it again and again in my future projects. This was also my first experience with intarsia. I did not like it. Now, it wasn't hard, just very annoying and clumsy. This could be because I held the yarn doubled, but I really did not enjoy making the green portions of these berries. I am going to try intarsia again, but I am not going to seek out a pattern that uses it anytime soon. Another first for me with this project was using my front load washer to felt it. I used my front load to partially felt a bowl last year, but it wasn't a very successful experience. So of course I decided to throw my beautiful strawberries into my washer without doing a test swatch.
The finished size is big enough for a sock project, and it fits on my wrist comfortably. The felting process took 5 mini cycles (about 70 minutes), and I think I probably could have gone for one more. I am pretty pleased with the results, but I think I am going to stick with felting in a top load machine. I know this would have turned out much better that way, so I might actually knit this project again.
Overall, I had a great time knitting this quick little project. I learned some new techniques, and I now know that strawberries are not only yummy....they are cute too.

"If you have nothing to hide," inquires a demented robot dressed as an American patriot, while indiscriminately firing into a crowd, "then why do you run?" Welcome to the skybound state of Columbia, where madness, paranoia and state-funded terror rule. Welcome to BioShock Infinite.
The reality is a far cry from first impressions. You gingerly ease yourself out of the cramped vessel that brought you to this place and survey the strange new surroundings. There's the same sense of fear and foreboding knotting your stomach as when you first descended into Rapture all those years ago. But the vibe here is different. BioShock's underwater city quickly marked itself out as hell on earth, but this time it seems you've ascended to a better place.
The room is a brilliant white, your path demarcated by candles dripping with religious subtext. Endless, chaffing, maddening whiteness eventually gives way to a picturesque garden, where hummingbirds zip around your head like something out of a Disney film, and robed disciples drink in the nectar of tranquility. Despite the soothing surroundings, there's still a stifling menace about the place, as though you're in the eye of a storm.
"Where am I?" your character asks, vomit from the journey still evident in his throat.
"Friend, you're in heaven," comes the reply, "or at least, the closest we'll ever get to it." But as you'll come to learn, Columbia is as far from heaven as angels can fly.
Infinite boasts a bold and intelligent storyline that's unafraid to touch upon subjects which are traditionally seen as taboo in games
This is what the BioShock series does so well. It creates a beautiful, fantastical, improbable new universe, and then dumps you right in the middle of the hornet's nest without even telling you that the wasps can sting. As with Rapture, you begin your voyage with a clean mental slate. You know nothing about this new world you've been rudely thrust into, and so around every corner is a new discovery. As before, you learn the surreal through the mundane - posters on the walls hint at the populations's unhealthy preoccupation with ideas of patriotism and nationality; audiologs and kinetographs reveal the tumulterous events that have led Columbia to its current precarious state, one reveal at a time.
Again mirroring Rapture, these messages are presented with an upbeat, optimistic slant, but it's already too late for a happy ending. By the time you start to piece together the true story about the foundations on which Columbia have been built, they've already long since begun to crumble.
An imperious city levitating high above the clouds, Columbia does seem at first glance to be closer to heaven that hell. But like Icarus, it's floating too close to the Sun, and it's on the verge of crashing and burning. Since seceding from the United States, the ruling Founders of Columbia have grown paranoid and weary, and their politics of hate - most notably their hardline stance against ethnic mixing - has raised the ire of a renegade group known as Vox Populi. The whiff of Civil War hangs in the air like a gas leak, and you're the one that's about to light the fuse.
As Booker Dewitt, an indebted New York investigator, you're catapulted into Columbia with the task of rescuing and returning a young woman to his creditors. Easy, right? Not only is said woman the apparent heir to the throne, but she has also been imprisoned in a giant statue for the last 12 years, where she's guarded by a metallic winged guardian named Songbird.
The whiff of Civil War hangs in the air like a gas leak, and you're the one destined to light the fuse
Busting Elizabeth (for that is her name) out of jail marks the beginning of the story rather than the end. For the most part she accompanies you in your attempt to escape an increasingly anarchic Columbia. Although unskilled in combat she is adept at avoiding confrontation, and occupies herself during firefights by scavenging dead bodies for health, ammo et al and tossing them to you on demand. As Elizabeth learns more about her fearsome powers, she gains the ability to drag in objects from another dimension - such as turret guns, grapple hooks and cover.
But this is no buddy movie. Booker and Elizabeth endure an ever-fluctuating and difficult relationship as the games progresses, as Booker learns of Elizabeth's terrible true nature and Elizabeth learns of Booker's ignoble intentions. More pertinently they seem to learn about themselves too, as the plot escalates and reality turns out to be not what it seems.

Anyone interested in modern American military operations will enjoy this book. But I especially recommend it to the everyday American who wonders what it's actually like to be fighting on the front lines of the Global War on Terror. This story is told straight from the shoulder. It's easy to pick up and read, and you don't have to be a veteran, a techno-geek, or a military historian to understand it. Mr. Middleton describes what it's like for the iconic American citizen-soldier--not a Regular Army man, but a workaday civilian who in "real life" is a nurse, a salesman, a teacher, etc.--to be called to 18 months of active duty to defend his country in a combat zone far from home. Middleton, a combat medic and a religious Catholic, describes movingly his own reactions to the realities of the combat experience, both the ugly and the sublime. He describes suspenseful combat actions conducted by the Vermonters, but also the daily tedium of serving far from home in a strange, hostile,... read more
Saber's edge is Tom Middleton's chronicle of his experiences as a Firefighter/Paramedic/Nurse National Guardsman from Vermont taking the fight to the enemy in the chaotic and violent city of Ramadi Iraq in 2005. Tom gives a detailed account of day-to-day activities as well as the pivotal battles and encounters with the enemy where he was forced to reconcile his role as a combat medic with an infantry platoon.
As a paramedic I appreciated Tom's detailed accounts of how he applied his lifesaving skills to friends and foes. I also appreciated his sharing the turmoil he faced healing those that had just been attempting to harm him and his companions, but the importance to the greater mission to show compassion.
Tom also explores how his spirituality and catholic religious beliefs were strengthened as he prayed and discussed the justness of war, killing combatants, death and injury to non-combatants, and the importance of staying true to a strong set of moral... read more
I bought this book because I wanted to know more about the place my Husband spent a year in. He was there right after these guys left and because of this I jumped on this book to help me understand what my Husband went through. I now have even more respect for my Husband, not that I didn't have any before, and I think that anyone who has questions about what it was like for these Brave men could learn a lot from this book.

How warm is the soil? Take a black plastic garbage bag. Cut an X in the middle so the stump will poke through. Fold the pointed corners under the edges. Use bricks on each corner to hold down the plastic. The sun will warm the soil under the plastic and encourage growth. I have friends in Tenafly and Red Bank. It seems y'all are always about 6-8 weeks behind Alabama in Spring weather, so you may just now begin to see sprouts. Good luck. |

Month of November
Artist of the Month
The Cedar Keyhole's Artist of the Month for December is Harry MacLeod. MacLeod uses a scroll saw to create interesting and fun works in wood, which include puzzles, small sculptures, animals, intricate scenes, tree ornaments and signs for the home. His works are primarily left in the natural wood state, but some are colorfully painted.
For decades, artists have been inspired by the natural beauty of Cedar Key, a small island community located in the center of Florida's Nature Coast. Each spring, the town welcomes art enthusiasts to join them at the annual Spring Arts Festival, which was recently named as one of America's top 50 Fine Arts Festivals in a nationwide survey administered by ArtFairCalendar.com.
After more than a decade of disappointment, the development of a hospital in Chiefland seems to be inching closer to becoming a reality.
Friday, the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration announced that it has granted Ameris Health Systems the certificate of need (CON) necessary to get the $45 million project rolling.
"It's great news. We're really excited," Ameris senior vice president for business development Frank Schupp said in a phone interview.
By BUSTER THOMPSON Special to the Beacon Two men were arrested Tuesday on accusations of burglary and arson, which resulted in the destruction of an Inglis bar the day before. Jordan Michael Cooper, 21, and Travis Crabb, 32, were charged with arson, grand theft, burglary and two counts of arson causing the injury to firefighters after authorities connected the two men to the suspicious fire Monday morning at Rivals Bar off of West Levy County Road 40, Inglis.
Artist of the Month The Cedar Keyhole's Artist of the Month for November is Patti Fox. Fox is a potter whose work is very organic. She mostly hand-builds her pottery using an iron-rich clay and impressing designs into the wet clay. She leaves the pieces unglazed, resulting in a rich, high-fired red oxide color and a very tactile surface. Fox creates a wide range of ceramic items using this technique.
The Great Suwannee River Clean-up, initiated and coordinated by Current Problems Executive Director Fritzi Olson, is nearing the end of the historic river.
Staff Report A driver's cell phone use was cited as the cause of a chain-reaction three-vehicle collision at a construction zone on State Road 24 on Wednesday afternoon that left one person injured and blocked traffic for two hours, according to a Florida Highway Patrol press release.
Levy and Dixie counties are listed among the 10 major watershed projects the state is seeking Gulf Coast restoration funds for, according to officials Thursday. The projects, meant to redress environmental and economic harm done during the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, were selected as the result of numerous stakeholder meetings and more than 1,200 online project submissions to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

I Love Driving Nude...
So once I was on my way to a nudist club. It was summer and gorgeous weather. I waited until I was on the road and driving fast then ******** off all my clothes. When I do this I always wear only loose shorts and a tank top so it's easy to ***** while driving and also easy to put back on if a cop comes up behind me.I saw a semi up ahead so I sped up and passed him. I have a convertible so I was easy to see when I came up to his window and he looked down at me. His mouth hung open when I turned my upper body his way and he saw my bare boobies and then I spread my right leg out so he could see my ***** (I had the car on cruise control) and I flashed him the hand sign for "I love you" and hit the gas. He tried to catch up, but couldn't. I passed other truckers that day too and did the same to all of them. I got a lot of horns honked at me and a lot of grins. One guy must not have had much of a load in his trailer. He kept up with me a long time and it almost freaked me out. He kept encouraging me to show him more so I put on quite a show for him, on a long straightaway I even stood up in my seat with the cruise control going, my left hand on the wheel and I started ************ toward him. He veered to the right and I thought he was going to wreck for certain, but he got control of his truck and that was when I pulled away from him.
Shortly after that I arrived at the nudist club and spent the weekend there among friends, telling them all about my crazy ride.
If you're in Illinois, go over to Indiana to the ABATE Boogie outside of Bedford in mid-July. Seems you are generally dressed for the party. Great story!
You bad little girl. Lol. I wish I could seen you
Why don't you just keep comming west. And when you drive by slow down just enough and I'll jump in! I got a big truck, and it sits pretty high. It wouldn't be that fun! Although, It might be fun once you get to where you want to go! LOL
LOL I just love free spirited girls like you two! It's always an adventure. And very unpredictable. I just love the adventure, at the edge of my seat, never knowing whats going to happen next, and I love having a constant ***** !

I also like the attention I get when I'm up. I was in the back seat several times with two girls tag teaming me as we were flying down the Interstate. I was some what embarased as other cars went by! LOL I can't think of any car that passed by with a guy in it that didn't give me a thumbs up. And I really loved the torture I endured. I will never forget those adventures!
Well, that only happened two or three times. The two had to get engaged. The third time I was feeling like a toy rather than a man. And I have to admit, after getting into the car the second time I was wondering what was going to happen. Those two were just crazy ! They got together at a reunion and had the same car! It was in better condition than it had been years ago. Anyway, LOL both asked me if I was good for another ride. I just about accepted, we were on the way to another party, but if I had accepted, I would have never made it to the party. The cool thing about that was we were just buds. I guess they just wanted a little more before we went to the second party. Hell no I wasn't complaining, and they still are drop dead gorgious. I just have to be a little quicker on my feet at the next reunion.
Must have been a great ride for you!
I did, it's a thrill..
I admire your adventurous spirit. I've had fun driving nude as well. Unlike you, however, I don't have a convertible, and I flee from any vehicles that are taller than mine (almost always driven by males) so that they can't see that I'm nude. I've pulled up to stoplights nude next to women (not on purpose) and have glanced over to see if they've noticed. To this day, I can't tell that they have. I look forward to more nude driving once the weather warms up.
wow - that must be a sight to behold ;) You are daring, aren't you!
excellent one!! really!!
no problem ....just thought I would ask. Well, love to be in your circle and by the way, you are sexy.
mollymcbutternuts,

That is awesome. I love your spirit. You know I love to drive naked also.

Bare Hugs

That is awesome molly, but I don't think a male cop would react the same way to me. lol
Now a lady cop....with handcuffs....hee hee

Audit Process
Selection of Engagement Area
Areas selected for audit are identified as a part of robust annual planning process. The goal of the annual planning process is to identify what units can most benefit from assurance services. The annual planning process seeks to apply available resources to highest risks identified, but also serves to provide periodic resources to all units.
For the purposes of audit planning, the Office of Audit Services has organized the university into nine major functions: (1) governance and leadership, (2) instruction and academic support, (3) research and development, (4) student services, (5) human resources management, (6) fiscal management, (7) plant operations, (8) athletics and auxiliary services, and (9) information technology.
The audit selection process entails a macro-level risk assessment of the major functional areas using industry trends, past audit experience, fiscal analysis, and campus input. Some factors considered in selecting units include:
- Critical nature of the unit in meeting university objectives
- Length of time since and results of last audit
- The size and complexity of the operation
- Changes in regulations, personnel, operations, programs, systems, or controls
- Regulatory requirements of the operation
- Degree of manual and automated processing
- Sensitivity of unit's operations to the university's image and reputation
- Amount of fiscal activity and resources
Planning & Notification
If your unit is selected for an audit, you will receive a letter to inform you of the upcoming engagement. The auditor will reach out to the unit head to discuss timing and the best person(s) to contact to plan the audit. The auditor will then send a preliminary checklist and set up a planning meeting. The preliminary checklist is a list of background documents that will help the auditor learn about your unit before planning the engagement. During the planning stages, the auditor will also ask you to identify potential objectives that would add value to your organization. As a unit leader, this is your opportunity to improve your unit operations by having an independent review of key processes or risk areas. The audit serves to provide you assurances over key operations.
Entrance Conference
At the beginning of each engagement, a meeting is scheduled with the unit head and other appropriate personnel to discuss the engagement scope and objectives, time schedule, and review process.
After the entrance conference, the auditor will begin fieldwork. Fieldwork involves interviewing staff, reviewing policies and procedures, and performing detailed tests. The goal of the audit is to:
- Reduce the risk of losses related to internal control breakdowns
- Identify opportunities for increased efficiencies
- Reinforce existing control strengths
The emphasis of the evaluation is to determine if there are adequate control systems and whether the systems are functioning as intended. COSO is the internal control model utilized by Oregon State University. A copy of COSO can be located at www.coso.org. Controls are also measured against university and governmental rules and regulations, as well as policies and procedures. Industry best practices and peer comparisons are also part of the evaluation process.
Throughout the process, the auditor will keep you informed. You will have an opportunity to discuss and confirm potential problems found and possible solutions.
If the auditor identifies areas to improve upon, discussion will occur at various levels to ensure the recommendations made are practical and address the root cause of any deficiency. In addition, the auditor will also want to discuss control strengths identified to ensure they are understood and to reinforce best practices.
If you are surprised by an issue at the end of the engagement, the auditor did not do his/her job adequately. The feedback loop is very important to any audit process and a client survey will be sent at the end of each engagement to ensure the process added value, and to obtain feedback about how to improve the audit process.
Exit Conference
A meeting is scheduled with the same individuals who attended the entrance conference. At the exit conference, a draft of the report is reviewed so that all of the parties understand the nature of the recommendations and agree upon the possible solutions. This meeting is also an opportunity to ensure any misunderstandings or possible misstatements contained in the report are identified and resolved. Any deficiencies identified during the engagement, which were not significant enough to be included in the report, but still represent a potential risk, are also discussed.
Draft Report & Management Responses
After the exit conference, a draft of the report is finalized. The unit head will be responsible for formulating a management response and forwarding them to the Chief Audit Executive. The management response is a critical element of the feedback loop. The response serves to reinforce the proactive nature of the audit process by demonstrating to the reader that improvements are being made and the activities involved. The response must contain three elements:
- A statement of whether management agrees or disagrees with the recommendations
- An action plan of activities to take place
- A timeline by which the activities will be completed
Given the nature of the recommendations and report, the Office of Audit Services may require other university officials to review the responses. These officials may include vice presidents (finance or research), General Counsel, Human Resources, University Relations, and the provost or president.
Final Report
The final report is printed and distributed to the unit and university officials. The final distribution will be discussed at the entrance and exit conferences.
NOTE: The distribution of the report outside the university is to be discussed with the Office of Audit Services and Office of General Counsel prior to release to ensure protected information under federal and state law is not inappropriately released in violation of statutes.
Follow-up of recommendations
There will be a follow-up review of all audit recommendations approximately 6 to 12 months after the engagement. The purpose of the follow-up is to verify that you have implemented the agreed-upon activities. The auditor may interview staff, perform additional tests, or review new procedures.
The Office of Audit Services will issue a follow-up memo to highlight all the improvements made and note if further work is needed. The final report will be distributed to the unit and university officials who received the original report. If further actions are needed, subsequent follow up audits will occur until actions are all complete.

A postcard is a tweet with a stamp. I reached this conclusion recently, after becoming perhaps the last person in North America to board the social media–networking bandwagon. I signed up for Twitter and tweeted for a minute. I joined Facebook and watched my friend cohort expand. I write the word friend without the sneer of inverted commas ("friend") because I feel there is something inherently optimistic in the notion that the Web ether is crowded with people one knows or may wish to, if only it were easier to be in touch. But the truth is, I don't like communicating through social-media networks, if indeed communication is the point. It may mark me as old-fashioned, but I hold out for archaisms like phone calls and face time and the handwritten note. And a postcard is to a proper letter as a tweet is to an e-mail. It is the jotted notion, the short form, a shout-out with few strings attached.
My own postcard habit started early, probably around the time my mercurial father announced at the breakfast table a plan to move the family from New York to L.A. That this ambition was not anchored in anything like reality (we knew no one there; he had no set job prospects) was little deterrent to him or, for that matter, to the eight-year-old I was.
We never made it to California, of course. Not understanding as I later would the fickle ways of the parental mind, I immediately began planning our trip. I wrote away for maps and brochures. I ordered trip planners that, when they arrived by mail, often came with a postcard. I still have one of those cards, a matte polychrome rectangle ornamented with graphics that predate the era of the politically correct. The card offers Greetings from Utah. Fat stripes adorn the bold, stolid letters of the state name—the ample bucket of U, the upright T, the tepee of A, the H like a big, handsome gate—and serve as a foundation for images of a salt shaker, a bag of copper, a goofy Native American with a feathered headdress, and a beehive with a thought bubble enclosing this weird invitation: C'mon get it. Get what? Encoded on the card's face is a key to the civic attractions of a state that, in those days, could boast of more sheep than people and whose big tourist draws were the spooky Canyonlands and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Conspicuously, there are no Mormons at all.
That particular card is of a type that originated in what aficionados term a golden age in postcard history, a time when the front of a card contained a single image and the back was reserved for text. (Card faces were left blank in the earliest versions.) But what made it wonderful to me then, and still does, is the block of statistical information it contains. "Copper, lead, and silver are mined" in Utah, it informs the reader. "The sego lily is Utah's state flower." These random fragments joined by ellipses read to me as found poetry. They somehow evoke a state I had never set foot in until recently. They conjure up the place in a manner that technology has rendered obsolete. There's an app for that kind of data nowadays.
Yet somehow, the more that apps reduce the world to cunningly manageable integers of data, the more appealing the old forms of communication become. The staggering volume of postcards one sees on eBay and in flea markets and in every gift shop on the planet provides a clear sense of how common the urge once was and how durable it remains.
I send postcards whenever I travel. I hunt down vintage black-and-white views in the grotty flea market at the Porte de Vanves, in Paris; garish 60's girly cards that seem to be a specialty in Berlin; hokey Dutch cards depicting wooden shoes or windmills or wheels of Gouda. I pick up unusual cards in unexpected places, like the fish-eye panoramas sold at the Basilica di San Marco, in Milan, of a little monastery where Mozart hung his hat for two months in 1770; or the print of a particular dreadlocked holy man in Varanasi, India, who is such a relentless camera hound that his image is probably stuck to dorm-room corkboards and refrigerators around the world.

Received this unit as a gift and I could not be more excited. This machine does it all. Spent a lot of time researching between VitaMix and the BlendTech and am very happy with my decision. From the soups, the morning juices, the smoothies… this machine can do it all. So happy to be a part of the VitaMix family- I now see what all of the talk is about. Everyone should have this machine! Lastly- this site is the best price I found in all of my research. Look no further! Just order!
This is the best money I've spent on any kitchen appliance/gadget. I use it every day and often several times a day. It makes the best smoothies, instant ice cream, smooth sauces, and finely chopped vegetables for many uses. I can't say enough good things about it.

Thursday, February 17, 2011
University of Tulsa student-athlete Wilson Holloway died on Wednesday, February 16, following a three-year battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
A junior offensive lineman for the Golden Hurricane football team, Wilson was on a leave of absence this academic year as he battled cancer for the third time since 2008. Widely known for his smile and his optimism, Wilson was honored with the 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl/Football Writers Association of America Courage Award. He was named in June as a recipient of the Wilma Rudolph Student-Athlete Achievement Award and he was a finalist for the 2010 Uplifting Athletes Rare Disease Champion award.
"We are deeply saddened today by the tragic loss of Wilson Holloway after his tireless and relentless battle with hodgkins lymphoma. We extend our sincere thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and teammates in this time of sorrow," said Tulsa Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham. "In his four years at The University of Tulsa, Wilson's smile was contagious to those who ever met him. He fought the disease with a tireless and enthusiastic spirit. We'll never forget Wilson's own words `I don't take things for granted anymore. There are days I wish I could go out and do the drills everyone hates to do.' Wilson Holloway has touched all of our hearts with his passion for living."
Funeral services will be held at the Memorial Road Church of Christ in Edmond, OK at 1:00 pm on Monday, February 21st. Temple and Sons Funeral Home, 2801 North Kelley Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK 73111 are in charge of the services.
In lieu of flowers, his family has asked that donations in Wilson's name be made to the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society. Information available at www.lls.org/donate.
