It is difficult to overstate the cultural influence of Bettie Page, the iconic 1950s pinup who has come to embody the rebellious sexuality that coursed below the conservative skin of the Eisenhower years.
The banged and buxom Page continues to be a touchstone for many contemporary trends that luxuriate in a certain brand of hip nostalgia, from fashion and television to cocktails and nightlife. Burlesque star Dita Von Teese and the retro stripper movement found in dance troupes across South Florida can trace their DNA back to Page, as can hit TV shows such as "Mad Men" and "Magic City," their provocative lingerie and sexual tension a metaphor for an era celebrated in a then-young Playboy magazine.
None of this might have happened without Page. And Page would not have happened without Bunny Yeager.
On Saturday, the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale will open the exhibit "Bunny Yeager: Both Sides of the Camera," a selection of more than 60 images from the longtime South Florida photographer. They will include familiar shots of a frequently unclothed Page and other models, self-portraits, as well as several photographs Yeager took of model Paz de la Huerta ("Boardwalk Empire") specifically for this exhibition, her first new pictures in two decades.
The exhibit is part of a wave of popularity for Yeager that includes a documentary film carrying the imprimatur of influential director Wim Wenders, a swimsuit line, a book titled "Bunny Yeager's Darkroom" and a Wynwood gallery devoted to her work that opened in February.
At 84, Yeager is having her most-profitable year ever, according to her agent, Ed Christin.
"I feel good about it. I feel I'm being appreciated," says Yeager, seated at a table in the center of her gallery as preparations were being made around her for the Fort Lauderdale exhibit. "People didn't know about me, that I did exist. But, you know, I haven't shot pictures in a long time."
The Fort Lauderdale show, organized by the Museum of Art and Galerie Schuster Berlin, will be Yeager's first solo museum exhibition.
Museum curator Peter Boswell says that what may surprise visitors is the exhibit's "incredible freshness."
"A lot of these photos are nearly 60 years old, yet still seem very alive, very fresh," Boswell says. "The women in them seem very independent and confident. They don't look like the cutesy pinup photos you're used to seeing."
While Yeager and Page are inextricably entwined, the model was more of a means to an end for the photographer. Yeager wanted her work in Playboy ("because I heard they paid more than anybody else"), and Hugh Hefner saw the value of publishing her photos of a then-unknown Page.
The two met in 1954, when Page called Yeager from New York on her way to a vacation in Miami. A model who was not picky about the work she took, including bondage motifs by underground photographer Irving Klaw, Page's best attribute was that "she was so cooperative," Yeager says.
"It was like us doing a dance together. I would snap my fingers," Yeager recalls, "and she would do exactly what I told her to do: 'Stand on your toes. Kick your leg in the air. Jump in the air … ' "
They took photos all over South Florida, and these images of Page, who seems to glow in the luminous natural light that is Yeager's signature, became symbols of confident self-determination long before the feminist movement.
At the time, Yeager was a housewife "taking care of my husband," with two young children. She also was a Girl Scout leader for a troop of handicapped youngsters (her daughter is deaf).
"I don't know how I did all these things. Sometimes, I look at all the old pictures, and I say, 'How did I do that?' " Yeager says.
And now, as an octogenarian, she's back at work in the new Bunny Yeager Studio. She is being bombarded by models who want to be photographed by her, including one who recently flew in from Las Vegas for a shoot.
Yeager also is inspiring a new generation of female photographers.
"There must be a cult out there. Young girls seem to know about me and want to be like me. They want to be like Bunny Yeager, they want to take pictures of girls. They want to know how I did this," says Yeager, taking some satisfaction in this addition to her legacy.

I have a few items listed on ebay:
Bed Tie Down Cleats:
TRD Floormats:
Also, not listed on ebay and I don't have a picture yet are my Champion Seat Covers that are the graphite color and fit a 2005-2009 Tacoma TRD OR Doublecab without the seat airbags. These seat covers fit the seats and headrests like a glove and help save your factory upholstery. I paid $90 for them on ebay and would entertain any offers for these.
All these goods are less than 4 months old as someone rear ended my 2008 Tacoma and it was a total loss, so the stuff is practically new. I pulled all the stuff out of the truck I could before it was sent to the salvage yard and this is why I am selling this stuff.
Let me know if you have any questions...thanks for looking!

Baton Rouge, LA (FOX44) — The board of the Capitol Area Transit System plans to meet every week to consider changes recommended by a consulting firm.
TMG Consulting presented a lengthy report earlier this month at CATS' request, detailing the organization's flaws and potential restructuring plans. The report stated that CATS is understaffed, has outdated technology, and an old, unreliable bus fleet. Its final recommendation was that CATS contract out its operations to a national transit firm.
"There's some pretty big implications for what the report discussed," said Jared Loftus, president of the CATS board. "And we need to do our due diligence as board members to decide what is our best step moving forward."
CATS got the taxpayer dollars it wanted in last April's election, and made big promises about its future. Many of its riders are angry about the quality of service, but the board is taking a calm approach to reaching its goals. Loftus understands, though, why the report brought a sense of outrage among stakeholders.
"I think any time you have this kind of change introduced," he said, "that's a natural reaction."
The board met for about 45 minutes Thursday morning, but made no decision about whether or not to contract out their operations. Loftus said he and his fellow board members are not close to making a decision about restructuring.
"And we'll keep going until all the questions have been answered and we can get closer to moving in the direction that we feel is the best," he said.
"Best," though, means different things to the different people involved. Since the tax was passed, a much larger group of people care about CATS' future, changing the nature of the board's discussions.
"This used to be about one particular segment of the population," Loftus said, "and now, it's a city-wide, much larger, broader conversation."
CATS self-imposed a deadline of 2014 to make all of its improvements Loftus said it has a lot of issues to correct in the next year, but meetings like Thursday's are the best way to begin to meet the challenge.
"I know how people can feel like, 'oh, this is just another report. Why do we need to bring in consultants? Time to act!' That's what we're doing. We are acting right now."
The CATS board says it will meet every week for the foreseeable future to talk about this report, and decide how it wants to put in any changes.
"A lot of people are paying attention to this," Loftus said, "as I think they should be. There's a lot of people paying for it, there's a lot of people that depend on it."

Lake|Flato Architects creates a modular house that relates to its site.
Built on a budget, this duplex supports quality of life with quantity of (day)light.
Architect-developer Jonathan Segal, FAIA, wanted to build himself a house in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood. But he needed to find a way to finance it.
Orderly and urbane, Center Townhomes was designed to fill a hole in the local market for young professionals and empty-nesters. For Otak Architects, it was a welcome chance to design a series of contemporary buildings in a city that caters to architecture of other eras.
Architect Kevin DeFreitas wanted to avoid a condo project in downtown San Diego, fraught with lawsuits brought by homeowner associations, yet maximize the number of dwellings on this pricey piece of land.
Design/build firm PLUMBOB LLC subdivided two vacant city lots and inserted these eight condos that blend contemporary interiors with energy-efficient, sustainable living.
Despite tight constraints, Khoury & Vogt Architects designed this spacious, light-filled house with an efficient plan.
Architects Robert Rogers, FAIA, and Jonathan Marvel, AIA, set an ambitious goal when designing this 14-unit townhouse project in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Collaborative Designworks, Houston. James M. Evans, AIA, never set out to be a developer. But when the Houston-based architect and his wife, Catherine, couldn't find a house that appealed to them, he decided the only way to get what they wanted was to cre
a group of houses may appear beautiful and well maintained, but if the houses don't contain people, it's not going to seem like much of a community.

For nutty cheese flavor, try Asiago in this casserole. Like Parmesan, Asiago is an Italian cheese aged for grating. Asiago that is less than a year old is a lovely table cheese.
Dough-topped casseroles must be assembled while the filling is piping hot to ensure even cooking from underneath as well as on the surface. Otherwise, the topping will bake at the surface but remain doughy next to the filling. As the filling heats, prepare the dough so that everything is ready to assemble at once.

Parks, who died at 92 in 2005, became one of the major symbols of the modern civil rights movement when she was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955 after refusing to give up her seat in the black section of a city bus to a white passenger. For 381 days, African-Americans boycotted public transportation to protest Parks' arrest and, in turn, segregation laws. The boycott led to a Supreme Court ruling desegregating public transportation in Montgomery and catapulted its organizer, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., to the forefront of the civil rights movement.Hide Caption 1 of 11Legacy of Rosa Parks 11 photosLegacy of Rosa Parks – Parks sits for her booking photo after her arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat on December 1, 1955.

"The tired feet of those who walked the dusty roads of Montgomery helped a nation see that to which it had once been blind. It is because of these men and women that I stand here today," Obama said. "It is because of them that our children grow up in a land more free and more fair. A land truer to its founding creed, and that is why this statue belongs in this hall."Obama was joined at the unveiling by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: Peter D'AdamoDate: March 13, 1997 at 17:49:20
In Response To: Mono, candida - type O neg. (Alice Price)
Dear Alice,
Try to follow the O diet as rigorously as possible for the next few weeks. Also, try taking a cup of licorice root tea ("Stash" is a good brand) twice daily around 10AM and 2PM with 2 capsules of 99mg Potassium citrate. Hopefully this will correct a liver enzyme which is imbalanced, causing your chronic fatigue. Also: gradually wratchet up your exercise, even if the though of it gets you tired! You may have to go through a bit of a "detox" for a while, but the long-term results will eventually justify it.
PS: 2 cups of licorice root tea with potassium should not cause any problems with added water retention, but be alert for it anyway.

On Wednesday, July 23, the Department of Transportation (DOT) released a proposed rule designed to enhance the transportation safety of oil and ethanol by rail. The DOT also released an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking to govern oil spill response requirements. The "oil-by-rail" safety proposal, which was released by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), proposes amendments to the PHMSA standard for "high-hazard flammable train[s]" codified at 49 C.F.R. §§ 171-180, and applies to rail cars that carry 20 or more carloads of a class 3 flammable liquid – which primarily covers ethanol and crude oil. According to PHMSA, the standard intends to "update and clarify the regulations to prevent and mitigate the consequences of a train accident involving flammable liquids, should one occur." The proposed rule would: (1) require shippers of crude oil or ethanol to: adhere to a new written sampling and testing program for all mined gases and liquids; (2) require rail carriers to perform a rail routing risk assessment, ensure that trains carrying 1 million gallons of Bakken crude oil to notify state emergency response commissions or other appropriate local governments, adhere to reduced operating speeds of 50 miles per hour, and ensure that trains carrying affected liquids covered by the rule are equipped with alternative brake signal propagation systems; and (3) require tank car manufacturers, owners, shippers and rail carriers that carry ethanol or crude oil to replace older tank cars over the next two years with new, safer models or retrofit existing cars to meet new performance standards.
On Tuesday, July 22, President Obama announced that he will nominate Mr. Stephen Burns and Mr. Jeffery M. Baran to serve as commissioners of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Mr. Burns formerly served at the NRC as general counsel before departing in 2012 for a stint at the Nuclear Energy Agency, and Mr. Baran currently serves the House Energy and Commerce Committee's minority staff director for energy and environment issues. The President made the announcement soon after deciding not to re-nominate Commissioner George Apostolakis to a second term, and days after current commissioner William Magwood announced that he will be departing the Commission at the end of August.
On Friday, July 25, the EPA's Inspector General ("IG") published a report titled "Improvements Needed in EPA to Address Methane Emissions From Natural Gas Distribution Pipelines." As the title of the report indicates, the IG is highly critical of EPA's effort to control methane emissions from natural gas distribution pipelines. While the President's Climate Action Plan called on the EPA to develop a comprehensive interagency strategy to address methane emissions, and the EPA has in fact initiated that effort through a series of actions in the spring of 2014, the report concludes that the EPA's voluntary program to address methane leaks through the Natural Gas STAR program has been ineffective at reducing emissions – partly due to lack of resources and "policy barriers, including disincentives for distribution companies to repair nonhazardous leaks." The report also notes that EPA needs to "set goals and track its progress in reducing emissions" and evaluate current studies under way that are being carried out by private stakeholders to determine if the 1996 study that EPA currently relies on for its benchmark emission factors is still relevant.

Wide Receiver Corps Gets Thinner Today
The Miami Dolphins are heading in a new direction and today they made it abundantly clear. Hours after releasing Brian Hartline they made the same decision with wide receiver Brandon Gibson. Gibson never lived up to the potential the Dolphins envisioned. After an injury plagued 2013 season, he had a dismal showing this past season and was unseated by rookie Jarvis Landry. Following the two cuts today the Dolphins are currently $12 million under the salary cap. Mike Wallace's future with the team is still unknown but with the cost cutting transactions made today, it is clear the Dolphins will be in the market for wide receivers when the free agency period begins March 10th and presumably in the draft.

Move clears 3.15 Million in Cap Space
The Miami Dolphins announced the release of wide receiver Brian Hartline today. The six year veteran was set to earn $7.35 million in salary and bonuses in 2015. The cost cutting move will free up the 3.15 million of the 7.35 million he was to be paid, leaving 4.2 million in dead money which some of can be pushed back to 2016, depending on the designation of the release.
Hartline has been an integral part of the Dolphins offense since he was drafted out of Oho St. in 2009 . He became a full time starter in 2011 but his production dropped off severely last season. With the arrival of Bill Lazor and a new offense in 2014 it appears that the Dolphins don't feel Hartline fits the the type of player needed for the system going forward.

Scott Fredel on the Best Place to Catch Sailfish
New Times: You named this restaurant after Hemingway's boat. If there was a Pilar down the street, is there a second choice you would have used?
Scott Fredel: The name of my boat is Scott Free... I like the name, but sometimes people think it's a Spanish restaurant. I knew I'd be associated no matter what I did with fish, everyone like, because I just love it. It's the same as like, like farm to table is so hot right now. People who fish, chefs who really understand fish, make it better. It's like farmers that know how to treat vegetable, they say you can see it in their food.
How do you feel about sustainable fishing, and do you serve fish that are "in season"?<
Absolutely. A hundred percent.
And do you have any strong feelings about the fishing industry?
Yeah, I really feel very strongly about serving local, line-caught fish.
Where do you get your fish from?
All of our fish comes probably from Florida. Right around Florida, unless we get like crab from Maryland, but that's just where you get it from. But if you call a purveyor and ask for lump crab meat, eight out of ten times they're going to send you something from China or Thailand, which is ridiculous. It's not like I'm going to stick just to Florida. If I get Maine lobsters, they're coming from Maine. Or stuff like that. I try to keep everything local. A lot of fish comes from Key West all the way up to the Panhandle, in the Gulf, or Gulf red snapper, I try to buy fish from there, because I know, as a fisherman, that they got hit hard by the oil spill but the fishing is solid right now. The fish are beautiful, but people that are naive to that will think that the fish are tarnished or something. They're not. Gulf fish is pomp, cobia, those true red snappers, they're awesome, they're beautiful. So, I get a lot of stuff from there.
So, you would buy from someone that was like yourself when you were younger or does that not really happen anymore?
Yeah, but you have to keep it legal. That's the problem. It's not worth it. I don't do stuff like that. I buy from some guys with permits, I'll buy from them. They don't even really come around anymore. The cost of fishing is very expensive now. With fuel, it's not like, you're thinking your car. A boat gets a mile to the gallon and gas is 40 percent more expensive at the marina, cause it's on the water, it's like $6.50 a gallon.
That's crazy.
So it's hard to commercial fish and actually make a living.
You still fish recreationally?

2012 Art Trade Piece.
My half of *Frostie-Spirits' and my art trade. Only about 8 months late.
Not a lot to say about this one, really. Horse went from light chestnut to mahogany bay rabicano with lacing and a bald face. It was surprisingly easy.. Did I pull it off?
I had been wanting to do a sunset piece for a while and just decided to go for it with this piece. All the colours were fun to work with.

Dr Anne Moir, founder of Brainsex Matters
Dr Anne Moir, founder of Brainsex Matters, is an internationally recognised and widely published authority on the rapidly developing science of neuropsychology. She is an award-winning documentary producer/director/writer and is the author of three international best selling books. She is currently writing a new title - Brainsex Matters - in collaboration with her regular writing partner, renowned broadcast journalist David Jessel. She uses her extensive knowledge of neuropsychology to stimulate positive change in people's personal and working lives and is passionate about the role of brain-based methods in the radical overhaul of Britain's educational models.
Anne began her career as an academic scientist, winning a Doctorate from Oxford University for her genetic research. But her career took an unexpectedly creative turn when she decided to engage her passion for television documentaries and to apply for a trainee position with the BBC. She rose swiftly through the ranks and by the age of 31 had her dream job: Producer/Director on Panorama.
Anne has run her own independent television production company, Quality Time TV, for the past 15 years, and is today a highly respected, award-winning producer/director/writer of intelligent documentary television programmes, many concerning health, social issues and sex differences.
Anne's prolific output of programmes and series include, Picking up the Pieces, Death, (RTS nomination BAFTA award), Why Men Don't Iron, Return of the Bloodsuckers (Single Documentary award). A Mind to Crime, People's Century: Half of the People, The Plague: A Decade of Aids (RTS award for Best Documentary Series), The Anatomy of Love, and Brain Sex.
Award-winning ideas for television also translate into excellent book treatments.
Anne is the author of three international best sellers:
- Brain Sex: The real difference between men and women (Michael Joseph: London, 1989); Mandarin paperback (London 1990); Dell paperback (New York 1992)
- A Mind to Crime (Michael Joseph: London 1995) Paperback Signet Books (1997)
- Why Men Don't Iron (HarperCollins: London 1998) Paperback July 1999
In recent years, the academic and teaching side of Anne's career is resuming centre stage. A regular tutor for the Human Givens College teaching the importance of gender differences to psychotherapy and teaches teachers how to used brain-based techniques to improve learning. Anne is also a trained Psychotherapist with a Human Givens Diploma. The practical knowledge gained is employed in the workshops and seminars as tools for putting theory into practice.

We asked readers who own exercise bikes, treadmills and elliptical trainers about their experiences with equipment designed for domestic use, including what makes for a good or bad purchase decision. With your help plus information from our overseas counterparts who've tested this equipment, we've put together some tips on what to consider when buying home fitness equipment.
Please note: this information was current as of September 2005 but is still a useful guide today.
If you're not sure which — if any — home exercise equipment is right for you, you could try hiring first. In fact you might prefer not to buy at all — you could simply hire a series of different types of machine over time so you don't get bored. There are plenty of hire companies out there. Prices range from around $100 to $200 per month for a treadmill, depending on the features and maximum speed. Bikes and elliptical trainers are more like $80–$120, with prices as low as $50 for basic bikes. If there's only one of you using it, that may be more expensive than the average gym membership, but you'll get a much better idea of what it's like exercising in your own home (the good and the bad). It gets cheaper if you hire for a longer term, and many companies will let you deduct some or all of the rental money you've paid if you decide to buy the machine.
Many readers in our survey pointed out you can exercise free — cycling, walking, swimming — and saw little point in buying exercise equipment. Or you could go to a gym where there's more variety and better equipment, as well as company. But this doesn't suit everyone, and people gave us many good reasons for using home exercise equipment:
The main complaints or reasons for giving up using exercise equipment were:
In our survey, people who'd bought exercise equipment in the previous 12 months were typically using it three to four times a week. However, usage tended to drop off over the years, and by five years about half of our respondents who'd bought treadmills and three-quarters who'd bought exercise bikes were no longer using them. Most people were satisfied with the machines they'd bought, especially those who'd bought treadmills (87% were satisfied, compared with 77% of people with exercise bikes or elliptical trainers). Not surprisingly, the more satisfied people were, the more likely they were to still be regularly using the machine.

Treadmills are the most popular form of home exercise equipment these days. A treadmill is a continuous moving belt, usually powered by a motor, on which you run or walk. You can adjust the intensity of the workout by altering the speed or the incline. Various surveys — including our own — have shown that compared with other equipment they're more likely to be used regularly and for a long time. Advantages: They're easy to use, versatile in that they can be used by people of varying levels of fitness, and can be combined with hand weights for an arm workout. Because you're doing weight-bearing exercise, it can help prevent osteoporosis. Disadvantages:They're relatively expensive, and lower-priced models may not be very well-constructed or suitable for running. Non-folding models take up a lot of space.
"Good variety of programs, which makes it less boring. Easy to use and not hard on my joints. Convenient to have at home and I can exercise in any weather." "Too noisy, takes up too much space, no automatic gradient [incline] control."
Elliptical trainers are the newish kid on the block, with sales rapidly increasing as people become more aware of their benefits. They're like a cross between a stair climber, ski machine, treadmill and a cycle (see the photo, below). You stand on large platform-like pedals and there are also moving handles that you can use to provide an upper-body workout. Advantages: Because your weight is partly supported, the main advantages are a low-impact workout, so there's less stress on your joints, and that you get a good workout for less perceived exertion. Disadvantages: Lower-priced models may not be well-constructed and have a jerky up-and-down motion rather than a loping run. It might take a while to get the hang of the action. And unless they fold somehow, they take up a lot of space.
"I love the leg workout I get with the elliptical movement. It also gives my arms a good workout. I had to quit running after 13 years and this is a terrific substitute." "It took up too much space to put it in an interesting place to use, and it was difficult to move around, especially through doorways."
These provide a good cardiovascular workout as well as lower body conditioning. You can get the traditional upright type, or a recumbent cycle (you lie back in it) that's lower to the ground, with pedals out in front rather than straight down. Advantages: Exercise bikes are good for unfit or overweight people as they're weight-supporting. Recumbent cycles have a bucket seat with back rest, giving even more support and putting less strain on back and knees (and making it easier to read while you cycle). Some even have arm rests. Disadvantages: Exercise bikes can be quite dull, especially cheaper models with fewer bells and whistles to entertain you, and may become uncomfortable after a while. Recumbent bikes can take up a lot of space.
"My bike has a lovely smooth, quiet operation and I enjoy setting myself distance goals and achieving them. I'm so motivated when I finish my ride, I usually throw in a few stomach crunches as well!" "The bike was great and I lost weight initially and firmed up my legs. But I stopped using it because my husband complained about the noise it made, and the seat was extremely uncomfortable after half an hour of pedalling."
Plenty of people realise they've made a mistake buying exercise equipment: they're not getting much use out of it, or it's just too big for their home. The Trading Post, eBay and other secondhand markets are a good place to look. If you look around at new models first to find out what features you want - and perhaps even which model - you may find exactly what you're after secondhand, for less cost. Check it out for faults, wobbles and rattles before you buy, though.

Translate this page Fallbrook Healthcare District grant requests due March 20Thursday, February 28th, 2013 Issue 09, Volume 17.
Budgetary considerations of the district remain the determining factor in funds available for grants. The Board of Directors has defined a limit of $555,000 for grant year 2013-2014. It remains committed to identifying, promoting and supporting a broad range of healthcare related needs within the district. There are seven phases in the grant program process, beginning with the Request for Proposal â the RFP. The RFP should be a brief, but concise, description of the proposed program, its target population, its benefit and its cost. It should also indicate support of their own organizations mission as well as that of FHD. The program proposed must be focused in health related in areas of prevention/education, treatment, and/or ancillary services and must be delivered by non-profit agencies benefitting residents of the Fallbrook, Bonsall, Rainbow and DeLuz areas. FHD will not fund the following: activities in direct competition with those provided by Fallbrook Hospital; endowments; expenses related to fundraising or lobbying of public officials or other political purposes; organizations intending pass through or regranting of district funds to other organizations; basic research defined as the pursuit of knowledge without immediate practical program or human applications; sectarian purposes; individuals; replacement funds so that a current funding can be shifted to other programs of the applicant; programs related to provision of housing, employment opportunity and/or educational pursuits for the purpose of employment. Packets defining grant requirements as Advertisement RFPs will be reviewed by the Directors of the Board with acceptance or decline determined in the Board meeting of April 10, 2013. If the RFP is accepted, an invitation to present a full grant application will be extended by the board. If the RFP is declined, the agency will be notified and no invitation to apply will be extended. The full grant application will require a more detailed presentation of the proposed program inclusive of project goals, project budget, project narrative and financial statements of the organization with two year comparative balance sheet. Completed grant applications will be due in the district administrative office on Friday, May 3. Only invited grant applicants are accepted and considered. The boards final review and selection of grant recipients will be at the board meeting of Wednesday, June 12. The grant year runs July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. Grant awards will be presented in the board meeting of July 11, 2013. All recipients of grant funding are required to present periodic reports to the board inclusive of information specific to their funded program and the utilization of funds awarded for that program. Additionally, they are obligated to support and participate in other undertakings of the districts healthcare programs.

Story pick: On the Butterball
One of my favorite morning rituals is reading the Financial Times. Tightly written, worldly, it always makes me feel like I understand how the world actually works. (It takes only a few seconds to register, but it's mandatory.)
Invariably, I find at least one piece that brings a genuine smile to my face. Yesterday it was an interview with Keith Shoemaker, chief executive of Butterball, the turkey conglomerate.
Fact: The company does 36 percent of its annual business during this quarter.
Fact: This is an industry phrase -- "super turkey user."
Fact: About 20,000 people call the Butterball hotline on Thanksgiving for cooking tips.
Enjoy the interview. And happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Some people jog first thing in the morning. Others fart. Some even shave their backs. But when a co-worker, a newbie at the time whom I'll affectionately call "Whizzle," said, "The first thing I do when I get up is watch The Golden Girls," I knew I had met the vertunkenflunken (a special St. Olaf herring dish) to my triple chocolate cheesecake.
Like her, before I even scratch the morning crust from my eyes, I flip on the tube and watch episode after episode of the elderly and coyly erotic '80s sitcom.
So after Whizzle made her comment at the water cooler, we both excitedly spouted off a few quotes. Then we named our personal faves — mine was Dorothy, played by actress Bea Arthur; hers was Sophia, played Estelle Getty. Our bond was cemented as solidly as Sophia's son Phil's attraction to skimpy lingerie. Soon we were carpooling to work, taking spinning classes, and running through my apartment trying to catch my rogue pet finch in a pasta strainer.
Who knew the power of the GG was so strong?
The World Erotic Art Museum (1205 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-532-9336) understands the force of the frisky foursome. This is why it recently hosted the East Coast debut of an art exhibit devoted solely to lewd, lascivious, and liver-spot-revealing renderings of the Golden Girls. For the thickheaded among you: This is a bunch of old ladies — buck-naked. And it's worth a visit.
It's a homecoming of sorts for "Golden Gals Gone Wild," or at least its senescent models. The TV show on which they appeared still airs on the Hallmark Channel and was set in Miami. It told the story of four elderly ladies — Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche (Rue McClanahan), and Rose (Betty White) — living and lusting together like college coeds.
Lenora Claire is the magenta-haired and distinctly buxom former journalist who created and curated "Golden Gals Gone Wild." The 29-year-old counterculture sexpot looks like she has to literally pour her voluptuous body into her signature skintight black dress. She got the idea for the quirky exhibit in early 2007 after making a very interesting discovery when searching for GG DVDs on eBay.
"I typed the words Golden Girls into my computer, and one of the first things that popped up was a link that read, 'Nude portrait of Bea Arthur.' So, naturally, I had to click on it. And it was an amazing oil painting of Bea!"
Claire ended up snagging the 11-by-14-inch portrait, which was painted by Los Angeles-based artist Chris Zimmerman. She paid $100 and immediately hung it over her bed. That (shocker!) ended up taking a serious toll on her sex life.
"Guys would come over, take one look at the painting, and be like, 'I can't do this here; I just can't.' And I'd say, 'You gotta get down with Bea if you want to get down with me.' It just seemed like everyone who saw the painting freaked out really hard about it, which got me thinking, Wow, art is supposed to really make people think and feel, and this one piece really seems to be doing that."
With that thought swirling around in her mind, she interviewed the still-beautiful 76-year-old actress Julie Newmar — who had been a Playmate, Catwoman in the '60s TV show Batman, and an object of worship in Patrick Swayze's 1995 film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. After noticing Newmar's much younger boyfriend, who had come along for the interview, Claire had an epiphany.
"It troubled me that people were so grossed out by the idea of senior sexuality. Old people are boning. And you know what? When I'm old, I hope I am too."
Then Claire contacted 40 painters and sculptors she knew in Los Angeles — including the late South Florida native and former Marilyn Manson bassist Gidget Gein, as well as Ed Mironiuk, who has done art for Saturday Night Live's cartoon segment "TV Funhouse." She asked them to create pieces with three criteria: They had to involve erotica and the Golden Girls, and no copyrighted images could be used.
Then she came up with the name: "Golden Gals Gone Wild."
"I called it that because I didn't want Disney/Touchstone to come after me," she explains, referring to the company that now owns the rights to the Golden Girls name. But trouble came from another front. Joe Francis, the controversial producer of Girls Gone Wild, sent a cease-and-desist order. "It's now framed at my father's house," she says.
That didn't stop her, though. She gathered pieces ranging from a Swarovski crystal-encrusted walker by artist Zackary Drucker (which eventually sold for $5,000) to giant puppet heads resembling the characters.
Her show opened August 11, 2007, in the vacant bottom floor of a building on Hollywood Boulevard. Naked strippers wore the puppet heads (which never sold because their creator couldn't part with them). TMZ, the Globe, and the National Enquirer all contacted her. The exhibit lasted a month. Most of the art sold for $100 to $3,000.
"I would prefer not to say how much money I made, but let's just say I walked out with a purse full of money... enough for me to throw it up in the air when I got home and roll around with it in bed."

Most mobile phones look the same these days, and it turns out that's really not such a bad thing. Before standardised forms and fucntions and the dominance of Android and iOS, manufacturers tried all sorts of crazy things to sell phones. If you had any of these devices listed below, applaud yourselves, as you were the brave guinea pigs that made sure these mobile misfits aren't around today.
A phone that was, put frankly, ahead of its time, the Nokia N-Gage attempted to create a handheld gaming phone that ended up not really being able to carry out either of its functions relatively well.
The device had an eight-way directional controller, and also acted as an MP3 player, FM tuner, and also had an email client.
But design flaws and lack of support let the phone flop, with users complaining that it was too awkwardly shaped to be comfortable to play games or use it as a phone.
The screen was also in portrait, with most games for it really designed to be played in landscape.
Even big name games such as Tony Hawks Pro Skater and Sega Rally failed to draw a solid user base. It is estimated that 3 million units were sold as of 2007.
Released and subsequently killed off by Microsoft, the Kin was targeted at teenagers who used social networking.
Around $1bn and two years of research went into the Kin phone, only to be pulled from shelves after two months in July 2010 because of poor sales. The phone didn't even get released in Europe!
Rob Enderle, an analyst at Enderle Group, told eWeek magazine: "The Kin was a mistake from Day One. The extra time they took to convert the Kin from the Sidekick platform to Windows CE made it about a year-and-a-half late to market, and the merger likely added another year-and-a-half. That's 1.5 to 3 years late depending on when you start the clock."
A number of manufacturers attempted to successfully bring a 'kids' phone to market. LG's Migo phone had just five speed dial buttons, and was aimed at 5 to 9-year-olds. The speed dial buttons were programmable via the Internet or on the handset.
Mobiles2go i-Kids came a few years before this, with a similar four-buttoned toy-like phone. Oh how naïve they were. If only they knew that nowadays 5 to 9-year-olds would be down the park with their iPhones filming their mate Dave m falling off a scooter for Instagram whilst remembering fondly the phase of happy slapping.
For this, we head to the wonderful world of Amazon reviews:
"I have never reviewed any item I have bought, but am so disgusted with this phone that I feel like I need to warn people about its quality. The first phone I had of this kind literally started falling apart. The center button fell off because it is just glued on. I live in a humid climate that seems to make it not want to stick. Also, many of the buttons on the phone work only when they want to. My phone also randomly calls people in my phonebook. I am now on my second phone because Motorola did honor the original warranty. Apparently these problems are very common in this phone. I am on my second one, and the same problems are starting to happen again. This is a very good phone for about 2 months. After that, it falls apart. DO NOT BUY!!"
Yes, apart from the whole buttons falling off thing, the Motorla Rokr E1 also had Apple's iTunes built in, but could only store around 50 songs. It was released the same year as the iPod Nano, which could store 4GB of music. You see where Motorola went wrong here?
Why was it shaped like that? Nobody knows, but it needed two hands to operate as the number keys were situated either side of the screen in the middle.
The Nokia 7600 was aimed at the 'fashion' market with a 'unique' teardrop design, but even the VGA camera and the polyphonic ringtone support couldn't save this one. Well if you can say anything at all, it's that Nokia was never boring.

*bicycle rules!*
The bicycle is a tremendously efficient means of transportation. In fact cycling is more efficient than any other method of travel--including walking!
The other neat thing about bicycles for anyone interested in machines and mechanics is that everything is completely exposed. There are no covers or sheet metal hiding anything on a bicycle, it is all out in the open.
In other words, today, the bicycle is a simple, super efficient machine.
Bicycle as a mean of simplicity, efficiency, lightness is an *icon of perfection*.
It is hard to think of something that has the capacity of improving the machine, in terms of *hardware*: biking accessory or add-on.
Instead, a lot can be done in terms of *software* in order to improve the bicycling experience and encourage more people to make biking their primary means of transport.
This proposal is about creating a set of worldwide accepted *rules* to make the bicycle *rule* the human habitat.
We propose the international "*New Pedal Code*" for the rights of cyclists. It will defend the cyclists in everyday life and will protect the use of this ecological vehicle. All over the world the cyclists will be respected according to the "New Pedal Code", and finally, oil-fueled transportation tools will feel *uncomfortable* in human environment.
Helping and protecting at the same time, and above all definitely *cool*.
By accepting the code the Governments will provide incentives for the use of bicycles in daily transportantion in many different ways.
Trasportation systems will be definitely subordinated to the presence and the life of bicycles. A system in which no-negotiation will be accepted by bicycle, a system in which
*bicycle rules!*

Sheed's one of those guys that you have to watch his minutes... he vaporizes with time. They must of had some wobbly legs out there.
Another point to make about this game was that the refereeing was really terrible. Any game that long is bound to have some missed calls, but these guys were sucking all night long. Both teams had some very bad ones go against them. One really egregious call that benefited the Pistons was a ridiculous flop by Rip to draw Marbury's 6th foul in one of the overtimes. Old Skool HQ had the best reference of the night in chat, saying "Mendy Rudolph is rolling over in his grave." Now that's old-skool!
Exciting game to watch, but plenty of bone head plays by the boys in Red to blow this one. Couldn't put it away in regulation as Naz misses several bunny/dunk oportunites in the last 50 seconds and CB makes several questionable decisions in the overtimes. Marbury zips through the lane to make several floaters and layups in the paint to score 41. Although it was a triple-OT game, Pistons allow four Knick starters to score 26+ points including Curry starting off 8-8 from the field and Frye hit several uncontested jumpshots. In the OT Crawford came alive to hit several key jumpers. Knicks score 66 points in the paint including 40 in the first half. However the Pistons responded with 60 in the paint themselves thanks to 27 offensive rebounds and timely put backs by Dice and Nazr. Despite the fact that he appeared out of his element in crunch time, Naz was still a force as Sheed pull a no show and fouled out prior to the end of regulation. The Pistons had only 1 assist at the end first period and finished with only 22?? With 145 points you would expect more, but the Knicks had only 24 themselves. The knicks also shot 63 FT's This was supposed to be a game that RIP celebrates a win with the 50+ points, but instead the game ends with him getting a tech and he goes home mad. He should be mad at his backcourt mate CB for trying to be the hero and making silly fouls. Rip had 37 points at the end of 3 periods, but only scored 2 points in the 4th period and 2 in the first OT before finally making some hoops in the 2nd OT. He should have scored 60!! First time this season we have lost a game after leading after 3 (was 14-0) and the first lost on a back to back I believe. Good play by Delfino and Dice out there tonight....Murray was awful for his stent in there> 4 mins, 3 fouls, 3 turnovers nothing else. keep him on the bench and keep Delfino and Blaylock ahead of him.
With the exception of Rips 51 this one can't be mesured in the boxscore, don't even look at it. Some may argue bad defense, but bottom line the NBA is full of great players who when they get it going offensively no defense can stop them. For our team that player was Rip, for their team it was Curry and Marbury. Bottom line was when buckets were needed a playmaker made them, and sadly for us we didn't make enough plays to win this one. Don't sweat the rotation stuff, you never sub a player in OT, you go with your horses with the exception of those off/def subs to get stops or save a player in foul troule. In OT you ride a guy, because if they sit for a few they stiffen up and the sub has no time to get any offensive rhythm. But at the end of the game Big SHot lost this one for us, remarkably he lost it on both ends of the floor trying to make plays that screwed us into an L. Ahh well as Lee said he ain't perfect but he flat out Stunk it up tonight.
"....talk about this and that how much money u done spent swear u believe boy it was all heaven sent... chill now u better bring the check around its yo man 'OLD SKOOL" and his DIRTY LOW DOWN!........" iM GONNA do somethin different as I have resurrected from the Sith to my true self as OLDSKOOL HQ. I want to give the inside lines to what happened, yknow..."The game within The Game"....Tonight it was CB vs Marbury. CB played his typical "Im gonna let my boy get his props cause Im gonna win in the end" game. Lots of NBAers feel that CB thinks he's more of a star than he really is. He goes to the basket only when he thinks he is gonna draw a foul. And he thinks he 'really is' an All-NBA defender. I have people in this house who mcan prove to you that before Flipstone Murrayrock got here, the name u hear most out of my mouth is "CHAUN_SEEEEEE!" or "DAMNIT, CHAUNCEY!" CB needs to go back to the LB films. I knew when Flip got here that this 'new' CB would arise. His stats on this game were horrendous for a team that still "only lost in 3 OT's"..... 3-13 fg's...2-9 3ptFg...9-11 FT's...only 10 assists in 51 min and 137 FGA by team I know he is due for a bad stretch but this team just lost to an Iverson less Philly team by 19 pts. What the hell is Flip doin? I dont know. But three people will keep us from our destiny in the long run... Flip Saunders Nazr Muhammad and Chauncey Billups.... ...the dirty Low Down...nuff said!
microcap Nights like tonight are maddening. You see the Knicks, trading lead changes with the Pistons 20+ times and know that they are playing one of their absolute best games this season. And on the other hand, you have the Detroit Pistons, unable to slow the Knicks, unable to build a big lead seemingly stepping through the motions until it was too late to pull one last rabbit from the hat. It's enough to shake your faith in Detroit Basketball. This game had it all. Clutch baskets, big plays, questionable calls, and three overtimes. At the end, the Pistons inability to close out an opponent, to put their foot on the throat of the Knicks and choke them into submission was why they lost. It's a tired routine we have seen many times. It was Chauncey Billups inexplicably jacking up 3 pointers early, in the middle and at the end of shot clocks during the late game. It was his inability to stop dribble penetration from Marbury, whom he was probably too busy taking notes from on how to finish at the hoop. It was Nazr Mohammed unable to convert tip ins during overtime with stone hands. It was Rasheed Wallace fouling out after never really starting the game from a mental standpoint. It was Flip Saunders also cruising in a kind of semi-retarded haze benching the Goon Squad and allowing Wallace to foul out when he could have been a late game factor. It was one of the most incompetent referee crews I have ever observed. We learned a couple things this game. Flip Murray is possibly the worst player on the Pistons. Chauncey Billups is in a dangerous funk. Will Blalock is only a stop gap at backup PG. Carlos Delfino is making a case as the most valuable bench player on the Pistons. Antonio McDyess can still play a power game if he doesn't lean exclusively on his turnaround jumper for scoring. Tayshaun Prince is too much in love with open jumpers even when they are not falling. Nazr Mohammed is limited, but very valuable. Here are the Pistons 2nd thru 4th scoring options and their sum shooting stats. Tay 4-16, 1-7 from 3 Sheed 4-14, 0-4 from 3 Billups 3-13, 2-9 from 3 That's 11-43 and 3-29 from 3. And yet between Rip, Nazr, Dice and Delfino, we almost won this game. The brightest point in what was a disappointing loss had to be Rip Hamilton. Entering tonight's game, his previous career high was 44 points. Tonight he had 51, seemingly scoring at will, avoiding 3 pointers and slashing to the basket. That's the 6th 50 point game in Pistons history. Here is the history of the Pistons single game scoring record that I could chase up Jerry Stackhouse - 57 points Kelly Tripucka - 56 points Dave Bing - 54 points I'm pretty sure George "Bird" Yardley scored 50+ as well for the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. Anyway, it's late and watching that game was exhausting... My Good Guys: Rip Hamilton, Antonio McDyess, Carlos Delfino, Nazr Mohammed My Bad Guys: Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace, Flip Saunders, Flip Murray, Tayshaun Prince Pistons player of the game: Rip Hamilton
Gotta give credit where it's due. The Zekes played with composure and great resolve. Damnit ! Good performances, bad performances, frequent whistles, fatigue, MSG crowd, prooved no match. We played above it all, almost. I can see committing the foul once, on the three point try. CB lost his head in the heat of the moment. But, how did he not learn from it. How did he loose recognition of time/score/situation, again. Is this a burn the film situation ?
Great game, unfortunately we lost. I'm glad I couldn't get tickets, woulda been pretty po'ed sitting at the Port Authority after that loss, knowing I've got an hour ride home. Props to: Flip Saunders, good substitutions. Can't believe I'm saying this. Rip, en fuego, until the final OT. ScarFace (CD), great game, simply great in all aspects. If this doesn't earn him more PT, nothing will. He may be a streak shooter, but his form isn't broken (like LH), he simply needs the confidence. Dice and Nazr, both strong games NorthFace: CB, poor decisions all game, bad shots, bad fouls. Flip Murray, haven't seen that bad of a 4 minute performance in awhile. Did everything wrong, lackadaisacal, bad shots, turnovers, just horrible. JMax, totally outmatched by David Lee. Big slow guys, JMax does well, young fast medium guys, JMax gets crushed. Entire team in OT, we got away from team play, and it was one on one bball. I can understand that from Rip, he was on fire. But not one pass from CB and Rip to anyone else but themselves in OT. Bottom line: Delfino needs more PT with the starters, Murray needs out of the lineup, Jmax needs to be played only when matchups are right, and Flip needs to keep on doing what he's been doing the past couple of weeks.
One more thing. Don't believe the hype that Isiah is dumb and the Knicks are bad. Isiah is pretty good and the Knicks are loaded with talent. Sure they are paying for it, but MSG is the largest owner in the NBA. They can afford to overpay everyone. The problem with the Knicks, is that last year, LB did zero team building and this season, Zeke has basically had to start development from scratch. Marbury is the butt of a lot of jokes, but he has always had the kind of game he showed tonight. Jamaal Crawford is the best guard in the NBA that no one talks about. David Lee, Channing Frye (when he plays well) and Renaldo Balkman comprise a super promising front court and Eddy Curry is on the verge of being the next Shaq, bullying his way in the paint and dominating every player smaller than him (which is most). If not by the end of this year, next season the Knicks will be a handful every single night for opponents.
He's a strange beast. Strictly a scorer. I think that is why he was so effective with Tyson Chandler. They were completely the opposite player. Where Chandler played defense, blocked shots and rebounded, Curry made his living off of dunking the ball and soft layins.
One good thing about the knicks winning is the fact that the Bulls and Knicks switch 1st round picks this year. Very exciting game and it deserved a better ending than a missed call and a T for complaining. Zero tolorance was back for that game. Pistons could not even talk about the calls with any kind of emotion. No way should that last tech have been called. One thing to miss a call but then to T the guy up as well? Some crews let you vent and others don't. Just boils down to more variablility and inconsistancy in a league that was not exactly the model of consistancy to begin with. NBA needs new refs. When you see these type of crews in the introductions you just know some team is going away feeling like they got stiffed. A lot of positives regardless of the outcome. Not just a run of the mill game for a core 8 or whatever. Pistons got better that game. Mohammed gained more confidence and Delfino was spectacular. Congradulations to coach Flip for finally promoting Delfino over player Flip - lets hope the trend continues. Already made the decision to bring in Blaylock as the main PG sub and now hopefully Delfino will be the main guy at the other 2 spots. There is just no way Flip Murray could have played a game like Delfino did for us last night. I am not talking points - his defense, taking charges and all the hustle plays. Pistons are getting better as a team and thats definetly what we all wanted to see this season.
I think i'm the only person that didn't enjoy this game. We couldn't play defense to save our lives and it seemed like we missed 506854 point blank oppurtunities to ice the game. Also, something is seriously wrong w/ Chauncey.
When Flip S was rolling with Nazr Tay Delfino Hamilton Billups it was kinda exciting, like not wearing underwear or drinking milk directly from the carton. Exciting and naughty!
As I posted earlier, I didn't get to see this game, just followed the play by play. I think TheLow would agree with you. The lack of defense can be very frustrating, and it seemed like I kept reading, Marbury for the layup, Marbury to the hoop, etc, etc. We know the team can play defense. Just not sure they will play defense.
I feel your pain. You know Delfino was open, and ignored, even though he had the hot hand earlier in the game. Heck though, he might have missed and spoiled a perfectly good game from him. Yeah, I wish they had let him take a couple of shots though, cause CB was obviously not making any.

BobWards.com: 5150 Ladies Dynasty Snowboard (05) - A step above the rest for women wanting to charge (Ladies Dynasty Snowboard (05)) Info
I got that for my girlfriend for Christmas. I did a lot of research on snowboards and this was the only womens board from 5150 that I found worth it. Check on Ebay, I paid 133 CAD shipped brand new in the plastic. Basically, look for a board with sidewall construction, sintered or sintruded base, at least triaxial fiber glass weave and a wood core. Those are the important specs to look at IMO. You don't want cap construction and extruded bases are slow and don't hold wax at all. My girlfriend got the 149 and she is 5'4" 117lbs, if you are just starting, I'd get ~145 cm. |
