Jim Jenkins, an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, will host meet and greet from 4-6 p.m. Thursday downtown at the Espresso Coffee shop, 419 North Dewey.
Earlier, Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning will be at the Espresso Shoppe at 1:45 p.m. for a casual meet and greet, his campaign organizer Dave Lopez said. Bruning ,who entered the Republican race for governor on Monday, is expected to be in town for at least 45 minutes.
Jenkins said he wants to meet people and give them the chance to sign his petition to be listed on the November ballot as an Independent candidate for the senate.
Jenkins is a cattle rancher and restaurant entrepreneur from Custer County.
Jenkins said, "If we truly want to change Washington, we have to change the rules by which Congress is elected and demand that Congress change its own rules to focus less on party power and more on the good of our country."
Bruning is challenging a Republican slate of Mike Foley, Tom Carlson, Pete Ricketts and Beau McCoy for governor. According to an early poll, he is a front-runner.

Jennifer Lawrence at her Miss Dior photo shoot.
Photo: Dior's YouTube Page
The images from Jennifer Lawrence's latest Dior campaign were released last week, but now you can go behind the scenes at the shoot and see her in action. Not, like, Hunger Games-level action, but pulling poses and saying words in French.
Jennifer talks about the Miss Dior bag—which appears in the video in snakeskin, quilted, and spotted—and reveals she likes it because she can wear it from "the day when [she's] wearing jeans, to in the evening with heels." I feel the same way about the bag I bought off the street in Times Square, so Jennifer and I are totally on the same page. LOL, JK forever. She also describes the inside of her bag as "boring," but it sounds like the inside of every bag I've ever seen? She has all the essentials: a wallet, a phone, ChapStick, and candy. Some may argue candy is not an essential, but they would be 100% wrong. Sorry.

Zac Brown - Zac Brown Hit With Copyright Lawsuit
Country star Zac Brown has been hit with a copyright lawsuit from a former employer.
Leathercrafter Kyle Landas gifted the Zac Brown Band frontman a special guitar strap featuring his trademark image of the Unity Tree back in 2010, and a short time later he began working at the singer's custom shop Southern Hide.
Landas was ultimately fired from his job in August (12), and now he claims the singer used his unique design on the cover of the group's second album You Get What You Give, as well as on a number of promotional items, including T-shirts and advertising material.
He filed papers at the U.S. District Court in Georgia on 30 November (12), accusing Brown of copyright infringement and unfair competition, among other charges. He is seeking $150,000 (Gbp93,750) in damages and legal fees.
He is also asking for a product recall and a court injunction barring the future use of the Unity Tree design on Brown's merchandise and equipment.

Womens Clothing
"Clothes make the man," said Mark Twain. "Naked people have little or no influence on society." Women tend to take their fashions a bit more seriously: "While clothes may not make the woman," said cosmetics entrepreneur Mary Kay Ashe, "they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence—which, I believe, does make the woman."
Regardless of how you feel about the clothes you wear and the effect they may or may not have on your psyche, there's no denying that antique or vintage clothes add a whole other dimension to the act of getting dressed. For example, a tight-fitting Edwardian corset worn, say, for a costume ball will likely make you wonder how women of the Belle Époque could have subjected themselves to such suffering on a daily basis.
Fashions from the 1920s imbue one with a sense that is more carefree, thanks to the loose beaded tops and still-stylish cloche hats that characterized the Flapper era. Austerity ruled women's fashions throughout the Great Depression and World War II, as the occasionally androgynous styles of the '20s got downright masculine. After the war, Christian Dior focused on femininity by introducing his New Look, which swaddled women in miles of luxurious fabric.
Fashions from the 1950s translate especially well to the needs of women today. Those Chanel suits look every bit as smart as they did when the great Parisian designer updated her own creation in 1954. Vintage cashmere sweaters can be paired with everything from faded Levi's off the rack to shiny Capri slacks. And period-perfect little black dresses with matching pumps will make you stand out at any cocktail party.
Sixties fashions are even more a part of our contemporary culture. You can go the short-skirt-and-tall-boots route, repurpose the brightly colored resort wear of Pucci, or slip into an Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo jacket, which can be worn as a suit or a separate for perhaps the ultimate in self-confident looks.

Investigating Shakespeare's Hidden Catholicism
Clare Asquith on the Bard's Faith and Coded Works
LONDON, DEC. 22, 2005 (Zenit) - As the wife of a British diplomat posted in Moscow during the Cold War, Clare Asquith witnessed firsthand how double-entendres in Soviet theater communicated secret meanings to audiences.
Her experience in Moscow opened her eyes to underlying messages in the plays and poems of William Shakespeare, who Asquith believes was a covert Roman Catholic in the days of Protestant Elizabethan England.
Asquith, author of "Shadowplay: The Hidden Beliefs and Coded Politics of William Shakespeare", shared with us her evidence of the Bard's Catholicism and the possible meaning behind his famous words.
Q: What are the main reasons you believe Shakespeare was a Catholic? Why do you think this is noteworthy?
Asquith: One reason, often overlooked, is that it was statistically more likely that Shakespeare was a Catholic than otherwise.
Until recently it was widely assumed that Catholicism was a dwindling sect in Shakespeare's day. But the recent "revisionist" history of the period stresses the fact that in spite of persecution, most of the country was either overtly or secretly Catholic up to 1600.
And among the intelligentsia who opposed the Cecils -- Elizabeth's powerful advisers -- covert Catholicism was respectable, indeed fashionable, in the 1590s.
Outwardly "Protestant" Elizabethan figures such as Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, Penelope Rich and the Queen's witty godson, John Harrington, all expressed private sympathy with the undercover priests who were bringing a revived form of Counter-Reformation Catholicism to England. The attitudes and themes of Shakespeare's work suggest that one of his primary aims was to address the concerns of sophisticated, disaffected courtiers like these.
Secondly, recent biographers have explored the full, often startling extent of Shakespeare's Catholic background, a fact discreetly sidelined for centuries by a predominantly Protestant academic establishment in England.
Finally, in an age when anti-papist jibes were a sure way to get your work past the censor, Shakespeare makes emphatic use of the idiom of the old religion, treating it with insight, delicacy and respect. "He died a papist," remembered one Anglican divine, who had no reason to invent such an unpalatable biographical detail.
Shakespeare's Catholicism and its necessary concealment should not be surprising: More surprising is the fact that it has been ignored for so long.
Q: What is the main evidence for your claim? How has your theory fared among prominent Shakespeare scholars?
Asquith: My claim is that there was only one way to get the forbidden concerns of covert Catholics onto the stage or into print, and that was by using a commonly understood subversive language. This occurred in Soviet Eastern Europe, a parallel I explore in my book.
Shakespeare's period was the golden age of double meanings, an era when the many-layered symbolism of medieval art met the allegorical wealth of the Renaissance. Examined in the light of the recently revised history, the highly ornamental literature of late 16th-century England reveals a mass of hidden allusions to the proscribed subjects of contemporary religion and politics.
To take a single example, the immense popularity of Thomas Kyd's play, "The Spanish Tragedy," has always puzzled scholars. It is only now that we can begin to detect in this shocking tragedy a moving and powerful dramatization of the central concern of English Catholics: How should the virtuous man react to intolerable injury when all recourse to justice is denied?
But it seems that scholars are not yet ready to align the literature of the day with the revised history of 16th-century England. So far, the theory that all this was going on in the work of any Elizabethan writer, let alone the works of Shakespeare, interests many English academics, but has been dismissed by leading Shakespeare scholars such as Stanley Wells and Ann Barton.
Q: What sort of methods did Shakespeare use to communicate Catholic ideas in his plays? Why did he need to speak in coded language?
Asquith: I contend that Shakespeare began to write when this form of coded communication was well established, and that it was an art form he perfected. Like his contemporaries -- and not unlike modern political cartoonists -- the technique involved the personification of abstractions as living people, and the re-application of myths and legends to contemporary events.
This was commonplace in Renaissance and medieval iconography. But Shakespeare's universal layer is so brilliant that it conceals his "shadow play" from all but the cognoscenti.
Unlike other writers, who often relied on deniable parallels, he used a rigorously accurate set of coded ...

I'm looking for information on Harvey Ellis (Buddin) Coker. All I know about him is that he was born on 11 July 1879 to Jennie DENNIS and Frank BUDDIN. And for some reason was adopted by John COKER (Whistling John Coker) and accepted the surname COKER as did his descendants. I'm not sure when he was adopted but family stories put him as old as 12. Does anybody have any information? I'm assuming that the Buddin family is from the Turbeville and Lake City, SC area because that's where the COKER line is from. Any information would help alot! Thanks! ~Coker~ Notify Administrator about this message?

A league source on Wednesday denied a report that the New York Giants have lowered their price for disgruntled defensive end Osi Umenyiora from a first-to-a-second-round draft choice. According to the source, the Giants still are asking for a top pick, which hasn't produced interest to this point.
Umenyiora's agent Tony Agnone would neither confirm nor deny the report when reached Wednesday morning.
Umenyiora insists that the Giants have not been fair with him and that GM Jerry Reese in 2008 promised him a new contract or a trade if he had two good seasons of play. Umenyiora, who is under contract with the Giants the next two seasons, set a league record in 2010 with 10 forced fumbles and believes he lived up to his end of the deal.
The Giants apparently don't. They have not changed their position with him, other than to grant him permission to seek a deal -- with a first-round draft pick the price. Under terms of the new agreement between players and owners, firsrt-round draft choices cost considerably less -- about 40 percent less -- which increases their value.
Result: Clubs are more reluctant to part with them now than they were a year ago.

Source: Giants' price for Osi hasn't changedWe've heard a lot of "head said, he said" this off season frankly im sick of it...this is one of the few player related stories still steming from the lock-out so time to hit it hard...Osi had an outstanding year last season and he deserves to new contract. But unless Mr. Mara's "promise to pay" is in writing he needs to just give it up and play ball.
The Giants are going to make the deal that makes the most sense fot them, thats why the G-men shut down him contacting other teams. Honestly, he could have offers from the half the leauge, if it doesnt give the giants what they want then the deal is dead. Osi talks about how this is a business...being an employee of that business he should know how it works...and i'd be surprised if he held-out...obviously he can't afford the $30,000 a day...right? |

Source: Giants' price for Osi hasn't changedThe giants arent dumb. You cant go by what other people sign there players for. This is why Reese is one of the best. He does not care what carolina signed there player for. Imagine they reupped all there players every year cause of what oteher teams are doing. Osi Just signed a bad contract. It is signed until he is 31 at 31 the giants wont have any use for him anymore. So He is trying to Re Up with a big contract Before it is too late. He will not get 50 mill when he is 31 there is no team exept the raiders that will sign him for that. So I dont think the giants will pay him at all they have all the cards There are three options for OSI get someone to cough up a number 1 pick Or just come play out the remainder of your signed contract Or Retire cause the giants will still own his rights.

Source: Giants' price for Osi hasn't changedthe team signed a contract tooYes, and that contract says the team had to pay him $15 million up front, and after that, the Giants are allowed to release him for any reason. He got his signing bonus, yes? He got paid the $34 million he was due in his forst 5 years, yes? As far as I can see, the Giants are willing to continue with the contract and Osi is the one who wants to break it early. Only the contract he signed doesn't give him the authority to break the contract. He'd have to walk away from it and not get paid the remaining $7.1 mil. Keep playing and cash the checks, dude. |

Source: Giants' price for Osi hasn't changedContracts aren't guaranteed -- that's the way it is. Next CBA -- the players can fight for guaranteed contracts. But they didn't. In exchange for teams having the option to terminate a contract early, players get huge guaranteed money up front. Osi got $15 million up front. That is the deal he signed under the rules collectively bargained and he should live with it.
I love Osi as a player and have his jersey and want to see him stay a Giant. Live up to your end of the deal. |

Source: Giants' price for Osi hasn't changedthe giants can absolutely pay him less. that's the problem i have with the whole "you signed a contract" argument. the team signed a contract too. that doesn't stop them for cutting players who are injured or underperforming. ill side with the players 99% of the time on this issue until contracts become guaranteed. |

Source: Giants' price for Osi hasn't changedThe deal is off and he is no longer allowed to seek a trade. My main problem with this is that it's sending a message to the rest of our players stating you will not be rewarded. They are on Osi's side, not managements!! No player is going to want to play for Reese if he keeps this antic up. He had 11.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles 10!!!! Whether any of you want to admit it or not he is still very valuable to the giants and would be a huge loss for us. Reese is going to tarnish his rep to other players and it could be the beginning of the end for him. This is just a sucky thing to have to go into the season with and nothing good will come of it. Deal with it now or have our season pay the price as well as future ones.
Bottom line, it's a business, no one hear has every thought they deserved a raise? Doesn't matter if it's pennies compared to Osi's, you were still making a lot more money then plenty of others around the world, but would it be fair for them to call you a snob? Business is business and always will be, regardless if it's on different levels financially. This isn't the year for us to have such a distraction with the division getting that much better.

Guide to heating & cooling duct work supply air flow adequacy, flow rate, temperature, and related problems. This chapter of "How to Inspect the Central Air Conditioning or Cooling System" describes the inspection of heating and air conditioning (HVAC) duct registers & zones for defects such as missing air conditioning cool air supply or return air registers, undersized air conditioning duct openings, improper cooling duct routing, cooling (or heating) air duct corrosion, leaky air duct connections, defective heating or cooling ductwork materials such as Goodman gray flex-duct, some Owens Corning Flex-duct, and asbestos-containing air conditioning or heating duct work. The photograph above shows a 1930's heating and cooling air supply register still in active use, but with leakage around the register which transmitted odors and mold from the building basement. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. HVAC Supply Air Duct Leaks & Obstructions - Theory & PracticeLeaks in HVAC cooling or heating air supply ducts mean that cooling or heating costs are increased, since the HVAC system needs to run longer to reach the desired indoor temperature and humidity. Where more severe supply air duct leaks are occurring, some areas of the building or even the entire building may receive no heated or cooled air at all, even though the equipment is running. Technical note: The D'Arcy-Weisbach equation for pressure and head loss can be used to calculate the actual pressure loss due to friction in a building piping or air duct system. The Engineering Toolbox provides the D'Arcy-Weisbach formula: Δp = λ (l / dh) (ρ v2 / 2) where Δp = pressure loss (Pa, N/m2), and l = length of duct or pipe (m) and dh = hydraulic diameter (m) and finally, ρ = density (kg/m3). Watch out: But keep in mind that even this apparently accurate calculation of the effect of piping on air pressure and airflow loss will not include the effects of leaks or obstructions in the building return air or supply air duct system such as the following:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about leaks in HVAC supply ductsQuestion: AC system suddenly quit delivering supply air to some rooms in the building(June 29, 2011) pam said: I am trying to troubleshoot an a/c system that overnight quit supplying air to the upstairs and two rooms downstairs. (coil is fine, air handler/blower operating fine, no observable fault of (exterior) duct system. the rooms without air are getting none at all. Reply:I'd look for: - a damper that someone closed in the ductowrk Question: ok to run supply air ducts inside of cold air returns?(May 2, 2012) firstname.lastname@example.com said: can supply ducts be run within cold air returns? I was inspecting a new home being built in my area and noticed several areas where there were heat ducts running within cols air returns for a substantial length. Does this comply with codes? Reply:RBprivate The only place where running coaxial heating ducts makes any sense to me is within an air to air heat exchange system. For example, if a building is bringing in fresh outdoor air and also exhausting stale indoor air, we may run one duct inside the other in order to transfer heat in the desired direction, thus reducing building energy costs. May 2, 2012) Supply duct inside a return return said: I noted at least two instances in the new home where supply ducts were inside a return air joist spaces between the floor joist. wondered if this was within code. These were inside for a distance of ten or more feet. Looks like in cooling season these supplies would probable become a huge area for condensation to form and drip. This also would greatly reduce the volume of air the retun may have. Reply: Building codes often cannot and do not try to anticipate every snafu that people can imagine, instead specifying overall performance objectives. Running a supply air duct inside of a return air passage transfers energy between the two, as we explained above. If we are only talking about recirculating building air rather then the impact on overall heating or cooling costs may be minimal, certainly of less impact than running either supply or return ducts through unconditioned space, particularly if the ducts are not well insulated. In my OPINION there is also a risk of un-detected cross-leakage out of supply into return ducts that might reduce the effectiveness of the system. Question: need to replace collapsed flex-duct(Jan 9, 2013) Larry said: If a flexible supply duct under our double wide has a 6' collapsed section, does it need replaced? Reply:Certainly yes, Larry. Otherwise you are restricting air supply to the living area and increasing heating & cooling costs.

Well, here's gameplay footage for the upcoming Tony hawks Pro Skater 3 DLCTony hawk will be at gamescon, we will find out more info tomorrow.
Those look like really good version of those levels, but I think I'm done with that game. Seeing him skate up the ramp at the end of the Airport level at full speed just about sums up why that game is not worth going back to.
There are parts in both those levels that are better in the PS1 version than in the PS2 version so I'm kind of disappointed the PS1 levels aren't in it. Also, I just realized that Airport is basically a downhill jam level. You start at the top and it flows down until you reach the end.

Happiest Place on EarthPosted by Heather J. Adrian White, from the UK's University of Leicester, surveyed 80,000 people worldwide to map out subjective wellbeing and determine the happiest place on earth. Where is it? It ain't Disneyland, that's for sure. It's Denmark. That's right, Denmark. The land of freezing cold temperatures, a place where people pay 60 percent in taxes, and the country that spawned Hamlet, aka the "dismal Dane." So why are they smiling? The secret reportedly lies in a "culture of low expectations." Not pessimists per se, but the Danish tend to set their goals low, evoke a natural modesty, and are generally happy with what they have. Any simple pleasure is a gift. Pretty sound words to live by, huh? They also have a generous welfare system, and ranked highest in White's survey, which measured health levels, prosperity, and access to education. Switzerland and Austria came in second and third on the list, respectively. The UK ranked at #46 and the U.S. made it to #23. |

The house next door sold.
Gone is your old neighbor and her neatly manicured lawn.
Your new neighbor replaced it with dirt, on which he parks his giant Hummer. He partially knocked down a wall, but the other half has remained. He also installed a shower nozzle in the front yard so that he can rinse off before going inside.
It doesn't matter if everyone on the block complains to code enforcement, because the property isn't in violation of current town codes.
The newly formed Planning & Zoning Property Maintenance Code Subcommittee discussed the home, which does, in fact, exist, at its first meeting Thursday, Jan. 24.
The subcommittee's mission is to review the town's property-maintenance codes to determine if stricter regulations are needed.
Currently, town codes are limited to weeds-and-grass violations and life-safety issues.
A revised code could address issues that the town hears complaints about but can't enforce — such as peeling paint, ripped screens, caving roofs and broken doors, stairways, windows and railings.
But, there's also the alternative scenario that comes with a stricter code. Suppose the paint on your garage door is chipped, or your window doesn't open, and your neighbor has a grudge.
It wouldn't matter how miniscule the violation.
"If (they) can show you that this is on the books, then I can't tell Amanda (Nemoytin) not to enforce the codes," said Longboat Key Planning Zoning & Building Director Robin Meyer, referring to the town's code-enforcement officer.
At the Jan. 24 meeting, the subcommittee discussed the need to address the problematic issues without becoming Big Brother.
"I think what we need to define now is how far we want to go," Meyer said.
Subcommittee member Len Garner said that most property owners respond when code enforcement notifies them that their property is in violation of codes.
"Our focus here is to try to identify specific issues that need focusing," Garner said.
Another member, John Wild, suggested that a reasonable approach could be enforcing violations if they're visible from the road, along with life-safety issues.
The town's Code Enforcement Department is reactive rather than proactive, according to Meyer, meaning that it primarily reacts to reported violations rather than actively searching for violations.
Changing that policy would require more staffing, because Nemoytin the town's only code-enforcement officer.
The subcommittee has now met for three weeks in a row and gotten halfway through the ordinance it's seeking to bolster. Future discussions will be held to discuss trailers and parking issues.
The subcommittee hopes to be finished with its review before the Planning and Zoning Board holds its 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19 regular meeting.
