Eames Century Modern will endure the rigors of modern parcel delivery systems jealously guarded in a solid chunk of furniture-grade plywood. Hand printed with our signature air-dried inks in 30 different random versions, each block includes a precision-routed keyhole so it can stand (or hang) as a 21st century monument to 20th century design principles.
The special Eames Century Modern packaging will be available for a limited time. Please allow two to three weeks for delivery. We have added an additional shipping charge to cover the cost of the special packaging. All fonts are available for download upon purchase, but please contact us if you need to have a CD shipped immediately.
Eames Century Modern is a typographic workhorse that honors the Eames aesthetic while offering unprecedented functionality. An eighteen-style serif typeface family strikes an unprecedented balance between distinctive idiosyncrasies, readability and space economy. Its 18 styles include gracefully complementary italics and a virtually endless supply of deep text handling features. Carefully-weighted small caps, nine different figure styles, ligatures, contextual alternate forms and thousands of lines of computer code give Eames Century Modern a significant edge in contemporary design environments. A stencil font on the heaviest weight of Eames Century Modern takes the curvature of bent plywood and abstracts the shapes into type.
In a nod to Charles and Ray's infatuation with circus imagery, we penned three elephantine numeral fonts whose woodcut-inspired forms leave a tastefully pachydermic impact on any layout. Fanciful figures from Ray's January and December 1943 Arts and Architecture® covers were the impetus for a more delicate set of numbers. All four figure sets boast a rich array of currency symbols, punctuation and a sophisticated fraction feature.
The Eames' pragmatism was always tempered with their love of adornment, so this collection would not be complete without a host of carefully drawn ornaments and a galley of frames. These elements are sure to provide dignified directional stability and exquisitely cultivated closure to any design project.

Match Preview
Manchester City will aim to create their own bit of history by beating Everton at Eastlands on Monday - but for Aleksandar Kolarov it will just be another minor milestone compared to what life as a kid was like.
The blizzard conditions which swept England on Saturday morning, and put paid to key Barclays Premier League matches at Arsenal and Chelsea, mean City will secure top spot on Christmas Day if they can overcome David Moyes' men.
It is something the Blues have not experienced since the new league was formed in 1992.
Indeed, the statisticians have to trawl back through the record books to 1929 to last find City in staring down at the pack on such a significant day in the season.
They would have played two more games than Manchester United, which takes the edge off the situation slightly.
Nevertheless, it shows just how far the Blues have come in the two-and-a-half years since they were taken over by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group.
For Kolarov, though, it would be a small step in a journey that has taken him from the streets of war-torn Serbia to Premier League riches.
"Players from Serbia are very hungry to work," he told Manc, the official Manchester City magazine.
"We all want to do something because every one of us has some story in their life."
Kolarov's story involves dodging bombs dropped during a three-month NATO raid on "strategic" targets, which unfortunately also claimed civilian casualties.
The memories from 1999, when the defender was only 14 and training with his boyhood heroes Red Star, still burn deep.
"I don't have nightmares but I remember everything," he said.
"You just want to play football but you can't because there are bombs in the city. The first couple of days you have fear for something. Then every day is the same.
"Bombs fell near my house. The windows blew in. There was a military airport near my house so that was a target. They bombed bridges, everything. There were concerts on the bridges. But I didn't go. I played football."
Football proved to be Kolarov's way out.
He still hopes to return to his native Belgrade to play for Red Star, however, for now, the 25-year-old has his sights set on silverware in England.
Even if they beat Everton, Roberto Mancini's men will still trail United, Arsenal and Chelsea in the betting.
But with cash at his disposal and at least one dissenting dressing room voice set to leave next month in Emmanuel Adebayor, the Blues have to be highly fancied.
It does appear the Carlos Tevez saga has been silenced for a short while, although the Argentina star is yet to offer his own view on City's assertion that he should remain at the club despite handing in a well-publicised transfer request.
Tevez did have his anticipated meeting with manager Roberto Mancini despite City's later than expected return from Turin following their Europa League tie with Juventus.
Mancini has already stated Tevez will face the Toffeemen, who did the double over City last season and have won on their last three visits to Eastlands without conceding so much as a goal.
Everton boss Moyes accepts his pre-season aspirations of pushing the likes of City at the top end of the league are now impossible.
Yet as the Toffees prepare for the trip, the Scot has lost none of the conviction that his team are as good a Mancini's expensively-assembled, title-chasing side.
Everton are labouring in the bottom half of the Premier League after seven games without a win but the Merseysiders have proved their quality in the past and Moyes expects them to again.
Moyes said: "I think City are a stronger side, they have had a year more of development. They have spent again to get themselves up there and they look as if they are a bit more established.
"They are a good side with good players and they have got themselves in a healthy position. You won't know until the end but I would still put them as outsiders to win the Premier League.
"I hoped we would have been in a similar position but our start and the way we are at the moment makes that look very impossible."
The Toffees are hoping midfielder Steven Pienaar proves his fitness from a groin injury.
The South African, who was forced off after 66 minutes against Wigan a week ago, tweeted last week that he felt the game might come too soon.
Moyes however has since said the Monday night fixture has afforded him extra time that gives him an "outside chance" of playing.

Match Report
City miss out on top spot Carlos Tevez provided Manchester City with some Christmas cheer but Everton denied them the present they really wanted with a 2-1 victory. Instead of sitting top of the table on December 25 for the first time since 1929, they remain in third, beaten by the Toffees once more who registered their fourth successive win at Eastlands. First-half efforts from Tim Cahill and Leighton Baines were enough for the visitors, who defended valiantly once they had gained the initiative and secured their first win since October. Not even the needless dismissal of Victor Anichebe could stop them as Mario Balotelli hit a post after Yaya Toure's deflected effort had pulled one back. It meant there was no dream end to an evening that began with a statement confirming Tevez's intention to remain at City - for the short-term at least - after a week of bad blood between player and club. How quickly football can change moods. Thirty minutes before kick-off, Mancini was all smiles, explaining what a fillip it was that Tevez had withdrawn his transfer request and how the City family were now looking forward to the future with confidence. Less than an hour later, he was angrily booting over a set of neatly-arranged water bottles, gesticulating wildly at his disappearing defence, not knowing whether to stand or sit such was the height of his agitation. It is not as though City were without warning. Everton's last three visits to this ground had ended in victory, the last two of which had involved a goal from Cahill. That the Australian should find the net with a trademark header, after only four minutes, having been left completely unmarked by Vincent Kompany could explain Mancini's arm-waving reaction. In fairness to Kompany, he was gambling to try and block a potential Seamus Coleman lay-off to Jack Rodwell. Unfortunately for the hosts, in doing so, he offered Cahill a far easier opportunity as Coleman picked him out inside the six-yard box. Everton's second came when Pablo Zabaleta was off the field having stitches inserted in a wound that followed a clash of heads with Cahill. The bitter pill for City came in the form of Baines and Anichebe combining down the wing Zabaleta was supposed to be patrolling and Cahill providing the lay-off for a precise finish. It was superb simplicity, although the beauty was lost on Mancini as Baines wheeled away in glee. For a side that had not won in seven games since October, it was a glorious half, which they defended with vigour. Six blocks to six shots in one City barrage, Phil Neville getting in the way of a Zabaleta shot and Phil Jagielka stopping one from Kompany, both of which brought penalty appeals. Aleksandar Kolarov also went close with a free-kick Tim Howard just managed to turn round the post as it threatened to creep in. The Serb went close with a dipping shot at the start of the second period after David Silva had combined with Tevez to set him up. But City were running out of ideas until Anichebe threw then a lifeline with his ridiculous red card. The striker, who has refused to sign a new contract and was a surprise selection ahead of Louis Saha, could just about be excused for barging over Joe Hart as he challenged for a ball he was never quite getting to. His needless trip of Zabaleta four minutes later was totally irresponsible as it earned an obvious second yellow card and left Everton to fight on with only 10 men. For good measure, Anichebe threw his gloves at Mancini's feet before marching off down the tunnel. Even with their numerical advantage, City still needed a massive slice of good fortune to get themselves back into the contest as Yaya Toure's wayward shot struck Jagielka and bounced in. That Jagielka was forced off through injury merely compounded Everton's woes, although City had gone agonisingly close to grabbing an equaliser when Mario Balotelli sprinted on to Toure's excellent pass, chipped Howard but saw the ball bounce back off the post. Howard recovered his ground quickly enough to deny Tevez's close range effort with the follow-up. City piled forward at the end, but their only notable entry into referee Peter Walton's notebook was for the dismissal of Kolo Toure for two injury-time bookings.

EUGENE, Ore. — For a second day local school districts like Springfield, Bethel and 4J canceled classes.
At Sheldon High School's parking lot, it's clear that students, parents and teachers would have a tough time making it through.
"Sometimes the decision isn't quite as easy, but the past couple of days here it's been pretty clear. We've had a lot of snow and it's hard for people to even get out of their driveways in some cases," said 4J School District spokesperson Kerry Delf.
Springfield and 4J have yet to make a decision about whether school will be in session Friday.
But Bethel already had a planned furlough day, so students there got an extra few days of spring break.
The districts aren't sure yet whether the two days missed will have to be added to the end of the year.

Ranger Rick, originally Ranger Rick's Nature Magazine,[1] is a children's nature magazine that is published by the National Wildlife Federation.[2] The magazine offers activities for children, ages 7 and up, in order to spark their interest in the outdoors and become more actively involved in the environment.[3] The magazine's primary intention is to instill a passion for nature and promote activity outdoors.[4] Children are growing increasingly distant from their environment, which raises a concern that conservational efforts in the future will diminish.[5] However, Ranger Rick has taken this disinterest into account and has made some changes in its content to attract children and therefore promote environmental activism.[6] NWF also publishes two companion magazines, Big Backyard, which is aimed at ages 3–7, and Wild Animal Baby, which is aimed at kids 1–4 years old.[7])
Ranger Rick is the oldest and biggest children's nature magazine.[8] The National Wildlife Federation first published the magazine as Ranger Rick's Nature Magazine, in January 1967 [9] and instantly gained many devoted readers who have since passed on their interest to their own children.[10]
Ranger Rick has a circulation of 525,000, and an estimated 200,000 more children are exposed to the magazine by viewing pre-used copies.[11] The magazine has one issue published every month by the National Wildlife Federation.[12]
The magazine uses an environmentally friendly processed paper, which is composed of consumer waste (about 30%) and is absent of chlorine.[13] Vegetable oils largely make up the magazine's actual ink.[14] By using these environmentally friendly resources the following is saved on a monthly basis:[15]
Trees: 1,179 Total Energy: 3,300 million BTUs Greenhouse Gases: 617,398 lbs. carbon Waste Water: 1,517,064 gallons Solid Waste: 216,093 lbs.
Each issue includes nonfiction articles about various environmental and animal topics, fictional story-like articles, and color photography throughout.[16] Also included in the magazine are activities such as nature-themed games, activities that get children to actively learn more about their environments, riddles, and jokes.[17] Most of the pages of the magazine feature multi-page photo stories of animals in their natural habitats. There are also illustrated stories, games, riddles, nature news, poetry, contests, and other features and columns. Ranger Rick also refers to the protagonist in a long standing feature of Ranger Rick magazine, Ranger Rick's Adventures (originally titled Ranger Rick and his Friends). The feature is published in the form of an illustrated short story, in which Ranger Rick — a raccoon wearing a park ranger's hat — and his gang of friends from Deep Green Wood explore the world, often encountering threats to wildlife and environmental problems. Rick or any one of his friends, including Boomer Badger and Scarlett Fox, always finds a solution to whatever problem they encounter, thus encouraging children to do their part to protect their natural environment.
Previous Ranger Rick magazines have featured these and other adventure stories:

• Teachers' Choice Award for the Family (for Ranger Rick magazine and its Educator's Guide)
Other Awards: • 2001 - Folio Editorial Excellence Award Silver Winner for Outstanding Editorial Work • 1996 - Society of National Association Publishers General Excellence Award • 1991 - National Magazine Award finalist for special issue on frogs[21]"
The magazine is named after Ranger Rick, the raccoon protagonist who was first portrayed extinguishing a forest fire within the first issue.[22] Ranger Rick and his friends, Scarlett Fox, and Boomer Badger have many adventures together (as depicted in the magazine's regularly featured cartoon and fiction stories) and always look for new ways to help preserve the environment.[23]
Ranger Rick is sometimes incorporated in elementary science classrooms to enhance the interest of environmental conservation in young children.[24]
Because technology has greatly influenced and impacted the lives of children today, Ranger Rick magazine has made modifications in order to appeal to the children, who are becoming increasingly distant in engaging in outdoor exploration.[25] In order to inspire a new generation of conservationists, attracting young readers is essential to magazines that promote environmental awareness and preservation efforts.,[26] and Ranger Rick magazine has realized this importance of maintaining natural interest in young people. The magazine has since made changes within their content [27] in order to appeal to a changed generation of children, not only for profit, but for the future of conservational efforts. The magazine has made such changes, for example, in the amount of narrative, by replacing the majority of narrative pieces with more visually engaging elements.[28] Also, the Ranger Rick character himself has had a transformation as he once appeared as an accurate representation of a real raccoon, to becoming a very unrealistic, cartoon-like figure.[29] Some sections of the magazine have been modified as well, such as placing the text and titles in more modern and ideal locations to visually draw in readers.[30]

Raffaele Marciello ended the sixth round of the Formula 3 FIA European Championship, held over the weekend at the Norisring street circuit, making it to the podium three times. In race 1, the Ferrari Driver Academy driver took his seventh win of the season, before going on to finish third and second respectively in the other two races. In the overall classification, Raffaele has moved up to 297.5 points, which gives him a 24.5 point lead over next man Felix Rosenqvist.
Marciello's weekend got off to a great start in qualifying, during which he secured two pole positions and one second place. In the first race, he started alongside poleman Rosenqvist and then made a great start which saw him fly into the lead. From then on 'Lello' comfortably controlled his lead, while also having to deal with two Safety Car periods. On lap 39, Marciello took the chequered flag with a secure gap to his pursuers.
However, the second race of the weekend required a bit more of an effort. At the start, Marciello was overtaken by his team-mate Alex Lynn and while trying to defend his position, he got caught out and dropped down to fifth. He got back up to speed and managed to work his way back to third. In the final race of the weekend, 'Lello' got away well from the number one position, but after five laps, Rosenqvist began to put him under constant pressure, managing to take the lead on lap 12. Marciello thus came home second, having no problem in keeping team-mate Lynn at bay.
The Formula 3 FIA European championship will be back on track from 16 to 18 August at the Nurburgring circuit, for the seventh of ten rounds.
Raffaele Marciello
"If one just looks at the championship standings, the outcome of the weekend is pretty good. Now we have one less race to go and the gap I've got over the field has come down by just three points. However, given how the weekend went, I would have liked to have won more races, especially given the potential both I and the Prema team had on track. The first race went very well, I could control the pace, winning without any major problems. Unfortunately, in race 2, as the lights went out, my engine revs dropped. I almost stalled, but luckily I managed to get going and move up from fifth to third at the flag. In the final race, I managed to go into the lead and, at that point, I was convinced I'd be in with a chance of the win to the chequered flag. However, Rosenqvist set a pace I couldn't match, proving to be much quicker than what we'd seen the previous day. There was nothing more for me to do than to manage my second place and ensure I got a still very important points haul for the championship classification."
Luca Baldisserri, Head of the FDA
"It was a very busy weekend and centre stage, apart from what happened on track, there were also some ups and downs in the actions of the technical and sporting stewards. The speed potential shown by Raffaele and the Prema team was very good, but I think that these actual events were a little bit of a distraction and that affected the usual levels of concentration. It is important to always focus on the driving and, this weekend, that was not carried out as well as on previous occasions. The overall verdict on the Norisring round is that Marciello has come away with a big points haul, but there's a slight bitter taste remaining, because of the feeling that a few points more than expected were lost along the way."

There isn't a chef alive who could ask for a better farmer's market than the one available to hunters. The latest and growing trend of farm-to-table cooking, along with the "organic" movement, has been on the rise for many years. The irony is that we (hunters) have always been at the forefront of this movement (phenomenon). Frankly, we've always known you can't get more organic than mother nature. As a chef, I take great pride in the field-to-table connection. It's a simple concept: great products, getting back to the basics and a respect for the ingredients. The many great chefs I have had the pleasure of meeting all have one thing in common: a respect for and understanding of the ingredients they work with, despite differences in the types of dishes. This passion for the product from start to finish, be it a simple piece of meat grilled over an open flame in the backwoods or a five-star plated meal in the comforts of your own home, is a common thread with great chefs. The great equalizer in these scenarios is the quality of the ingredients and the techniques applied in creating a composed dish of your wild game meat. Cooking, in all aspects, is much easier if you have an understanding of the proteins you are working with and how to approach them. Let me walk you through my approach to wild game cooking and some tips that will help spread the love for wild game to the uninitiated.
Field Care
Once your animal is on the ground, get it field-dressed and cooled down as quickly as possible. The ideal scenario involves hanging and aging the meat for a few days in a climate-controlled environment to allow the natural enzymes to break down the muscle fibers, making the meat more tender. Unfortunately, many (perhaps most) of us don't have access to a walk-in cooler or the proper climate to make this possible. If you do, aging your animal for a few days will be an added benefit to your table fare. Proper packaging with butcher paper or a vacuum-packing machine is mandatory. If it's packaged properly, you will be left with perfect game meat throughout the year that is just as good as the day it went into the freezer.
Flavor Profiles
Treating each animal as an individual allows you to create flavor profiles that work with where the animal was taken. The use of acidity, bitterness and sweetness, in conjunction with seasonal dishes, helps create a rounded meal that complements the natural flavor of venison. For example, a mule deer killed in the late season may have a heavy aroma of sage, which can be overbearing on some peoples' palates. By creating a dish utilizing a sweet yet earthy element to compound the vegetal aromatic nature of the meat, we can balance and round the flavor of the dish without losing the essence of the meal. Wild game will taste wild (even exotic) to some. The flavor from one animal to the next can and will vary a great deal according to region as well as the time of the year. If a buck is taken during the rut it will most certainly have a stronger, more distinctive taste than a young doe taken in the early season. However, these distinctions are what make game meats so enjoyable to cook as they have the backbone to stand up to bold flavors that would overwhelm another, dare I say lesser, protein. When looking for flavor profiles of wild game, I find myself always looking at cultures that eat game meats as a mainstay of their diet. Italy, its northern regions specifically, is known for its wild boar dishes. Throughout the far reaches of Europe, venison of all kinds can be found on menus. Looking at the flavor profile from a global perspective allows for wider development of your combinations of flavors. There are a host of wild game cookbooks, and magazines from Charlie Trotter's Meat and Game to Cooking Wild; the use of all these resources should be a part of the creative nature of wild game cooking, while adapting and constructing flavor profiles.
Cooking Techniques
Cook your venison to an internal temperature of 115 degrees, and allow the meat to rest, which will take into account the process of carry-over, to yield perfect medium rare venison every time. This "carry-over" cooking is essentially the continuation of cooking after meat is removed from a direct heat source. The rise in temperature can be as high as 8-10 degrees after resting. This increase in temperature will also vary due to the size of the piece of meat you are cooking. A large, bone-in roast will maintain a higher temperature longer than a small loin or steak. I always recommend the use of a meat thermometer in conjunction with the "feel method" to check doneness. Once you learn to gauge doneness using the feel method (while still double-checking temperature with a thermometer), you will develop the confidence to leave the thermometer in the drawer and cook your venison to a perfect medium rare just by feel.
Wild Pork
I believe wild pork is by far the most unforgiving wild protein you can cook when utilizing a dry cooking method. Achieving a proper degree of doneness and ensuring you raise the internal temperature high enough to destroy any traces of trichinosis is a balancing act between perfectly cooked, and over-done and dry. Wild pork, along with all game meat, is extremely lean and can benefit from an addition of fat. Wrapping it with some form of fat can aid in maintaining a higher level of moisture in the meat, though in some instances can overwhelm the true flavor of the protein. The old saying "nothing can be bad wrapped in bacon" is true, with one caveat: In moderation, bacon can make or break a meal with its distinctive flavor. One of my favorite fats for wrapping is caul fat, a web-like membrane that surrounds the internal organs. It has a neutral flavor, so it will allow the true flavor of your dish to shine. Click here for Matthew's Root Beer & Guava-Braised Pork recipe. While utilizing fat will maintain moisture, remember each wild hog we kill will vary in tenderness from one animal to the next. Larger hogs in general will have a much tougher and denser backstrap (as well as other muscle groups) than that of a smaller one. So with this knowledge we are left with either utilizing a moist cooking method or creating a marinade, which will help break down the muscle fibers. The inclusion of tropical fruits such as papaya and pineapple is a great idea since these have a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down proteins to make those dense muscles more tender.

Linux on the Motorola 680x0
Linux has been ported to 680x0 based machines. Amigas, Ataris and Macintoshes with the appropriate hardware support are the intended platforms. Only the 68020 (with 68851 MMU), 68030 and 68040 processors are currently supported. (A Memory Management Unit is required.) Versions of Linux/68k now run on various models of the Amiga and the Atari. The Amiga and Atari versions are not yet merged, but this will be completed shortly. The Atari version is based on the Amiga version.
Almost all of the x86-dependent code has been ported to run on the m680x0, including context switching, memory management, signals, "ptrace" support, "core" files and the "/proc" filesystem. The kernel supports Unix domain sockets, but does not yet support TCP/IP.
The Linux/68k kernel supports the Minix filesystem, the Linux ext2 filesystem, the ISO filesystem, and the Amiga Fast File System.
Patch 3 of version 0.08 of the Linux/68k kernel was released in May, 1994. This version is compatible with Linux/PC 0.99pl14. It provides support for a ram disk, the Amiga floppy drives, three popular Amiga SCSI controllers, and the IDE controller in the Amiga 4000. This version has a fast "console" full-screen VT100 emulation driver supporting various video modes. This console driver doesn't yet support multiple virtual consoles. There are drivers for the Amiga mouse and the Amiga parallel port. There are no serial drivers for the Amiga yet. This version is quite stable; it can be considered beta quality.
The Atari port includes the machine-independent support listed above, plus support for the Atari floppy drives, mouse, joystick, SCSI controller and the Atari Falcon IDE controller.
There is a "680x0" channel in the linux-activists mailing list which is used for some of the communications between the developers and other interested parties. Discussion also takes place on the "comp.unix.amiga" newsgroup on Usenet.
Just as this issue of Linux Journal went to the printer in late July, version 0.9 of Linux/68k was released. This version is derived from and equivalent to the Linux/PC kernel version 1.0.9.
In the longer term, it is hoped that the changes for the 680x0 support can be somehow folded back into the main Linux sources. In making these changes, care was taken to abstract out processor and platform dependencies. Hopefully this process will accelerate the effort that Linus Torvalds will be making to porting Linux to a Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha PC.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Pinellas Trail
Trail Office, 12020 Walsingham Road
Largo, FL
Submitted by: Susan Dutill
A 34-mile rail-to-trail greenway that attracts residents and tourists alike.
Why It Works
The Pinellas Trail attracts nearly 900,000 visitors a year. The Trail is 15 feet wide, has a smooth asphalt surface, and is fully accessible in most areas. The Trail crosses 88 streets. Planned extensions include 20.6 miles on a utility corridor, connections built as part of road construction, with many proposals for future connecting community trails.
What Makes Pinellas Trail a Great Place?
Trail Locator Maps (Pinellas Trail Guide) are published semi-annually and distributed free of charge. The Trail Guide illustrates & locates amenities, the location of restaurants, bike shops, shopping, and other areas of interest. The Trail crosses 88 streets, and is fully accessible at most of these intersections, as well as special spurs which connect the Trail to public destinations and areas. Some organizations have
not only landscaped the Trail in their area, but added murals, paintings, and other aesthetic venues.
The Pinellas Trail travels through eight municipalities as well as other political jurisdictions, each offering
a unique experience and various opportunities. The Trail is featured as the downtown anchor in Dunedin, where many quaint shops and restaurants have flourished along with downtown development to make this area extremely pedestrian friendly, and a great place to visit. Tarpon Springs has also embraced the Trail, and offers a varied cultural experience, inviting Trail users to enjoy the Greek heritage of this city. Several County and community parks are located along the Trail, and provide restroom facilities, as well as a varied recreational experience. Periodic benches, sheltered benches, water fountains, bicycle racks, sheltered tables, litter receptacles, mileage markers, and Trail locator maps are located along the length of the Trail.
The Pinellas Trail is a safe place for residents and tourists alike to enjoy bicycling, walking, in-line skating, and also wheelchair use (no motorized vehicles, no horses). As Pinellas is the most densely populated
county in Florida, our urban population is separated from motorized traffic on the Trail. Overpasses were built for Trail users to safely cross over major roads, and additional overpasses are planned. The Trail is a
place for people to socialize, safely walk or bicycle to shopping, visit the various parks along its alignment,
and is great exercise.
As mentioned earlier, the Trail passes through The Pinellas County Park Department patrols the Trail, and has organized a volunteer organization to assist in the effort. The Auxiliary Rangers wear distinctive uniforms, and work in shifts to increase the patrol presence on the Trail. 98% of Trail users feel safe when using the Trail. Sheriff's Office statistics show crime related to the Trail is less than one percent of the crime for the rest of the area.
History & Background
The trail came into being due in large part to a marketing and promotional effort by an advocacy group that lobbied county officials, raised community consciousness, and developed fundraising strategies before trail construction was approved.
Also see the Urban Park Institute's Success Story on the Trail.

Great container, SIMPLE SORTING!
By Recycling Pioneer, Since 1970.

About Me Quality Oriented

Comments about Rubbermaid® 14-Gallon Recycling Box: Blue:
I bought two of these as we are avid newspaper readers reading newspapers on line as well as on newsprint. Our town requires strict sorting so we finally broke down and bought some great containers from Quill so that we can sort day -by-day instead of trying to sort on garbage pick up day when we might not have the motivation. The container moves easily from the foyer of the house to the garage to the curb. You best decide what's best for your home or office layout to maximize recycling given the parameters of your recycler and what material you use the most of in your home or office. Then design your own collection and transport processes to minimize the chore!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The picture doesn't do this necklace any justice. It's so much nicer than it appears in the picture. I love it. My daughter saw it and begged me to buy her one too. I've gotten many compliments on it.
I have been searching for a necklace I might wear with any color of clothing, for quite some time. I received it promptly. The opal is pale and luminous, and teams to create a feminine yet not overstated embellishment to anything I wear. It is very well made, and has a fairy tale quality to it's appearance which I find endearing. I'm so glad I took a chance on it because it is exactly what I was looking for. The stone sits past the bottom of the throat. And also I can wear a round or v-line collared shirt with it, just as I wanted. This piece really exceeded my expectations and I am so happy.
I love the look and craftsmanship however the chain is not 20 inches as advertized. I was very disappointed that the necklace was not longer, and I will send it back. The chain is actually 16 inches long not 20!
The description claims the chain is 20 inches, but I had to return it because it wouldn't fit. I'd say it is 16 inches, and that's being generous. This may be fine for someone with a small neck, but if yours is not, be prepared to buy a new chain or don't order this at all.
lovely well made necklace. the silver on mine did tarnish after an extened period of non use. to me the small amount of effort used in the cleaning is well worth it.
pretty ear rings.. not pendant. I don't know so I gave the girls ear rings.. maybe it worked out better.. I like the opals from India.. so I hope they do to.
This is a really pretty necklace for a great price! The chain is unusual and the pendant is silver with markings. The opal is also very attractive, great value, would make a good present for someone!
This piece is a piece most women would like because of the size and shape. It is something that can becone a signature piece of jewlery.
I really love the design of this necklace. The pendant is really pretty and it stays in place surrounded by beads. I have the matching earings and I just love this set.
This product was more than I anticipated, it was delicate, and perfect for my mother. Frankly, I wanted to keep it for myself... Love it!

I'm lucky and may wear almost everything I want at work. I work at a university library for philosophical literature of the Renaissance and Middle Ages and I wouldn't manage to scare away the visitors by looking weird even if I wanted to...
However, where I live not all kinds of headscarves are considered appropriate for working in public institutions, so I keep to variations that won't get me into trouble (or use caps, snoods, hats...). Besides, climbing a ladder just ain't fun in all of my skirts and dresses, so I reserve some of them for free time. - October 12, 2010 at 4:30 PM

Ci-4 vs. FJ
November 6, 2012 / Tackle Comparison
Over the past few seasons I've had the opportunity to try a lot of different gear. A couple of reels that I have specifically kept notes on are the Shimano Stradic Ci-4 and the Shimano Stradic FJ. The Stradic line of spinning reels is quite possibly the most popular line on the market today, as it offers a selection of high quality reels for all different applications. If you think "a reel is just a reel", well that is completely false. These two Stradic reels are completely different and here's why;
The Ci-4 being the lighter of the two reels is constructed of carbon based graphite, which makes for an extremely light product. It has a carbon frame, rotor and side plates and because no metal has been used, it will not rust. Tipping the scales at feather light 6.2oz (1000 model), this is an ideal reel for finesse fishing, drop shot fishing and especially when you're using light line. The fact alone that the Ci-4 is approximately an ounce and a half lighter than the Stradic FJ, makes a big difference throughout a full day of fishing.
Shimano has also really focused on the balance of this reel. The Ci-4 is actually so well balanced that you can pick up the reel, crank the handle really fast and watch as the spool rides up and down with little to no wobble. Try doing that with other reels and see what the results are. Pairing up the Ci-4 with 4-12lb fluorocarbon and a medium action rod, will take full advantage of its benefits.
Although finesse fishing is a big part of a bass angler's game, we also need those reels we can go to when things get tough. The Stradic FJ is that reel. Coming back with the historical white finish, the FJ has every bit of power the previous model had and more. Shimano has introduced X-ship technology in the new Stradic FJ and X-Ship gives this reel power and lots of it. A perfectly tuned reel for dragging heavy tubes or fishing around heavy cover, X-Ship is essentially two components; a hard, light weight machined gear and brass pinion gear with bearings on the top and bottom. When you combine a hard a soft metal together in a system such as this, you get a very smooth, fluid motion. Also, Shimano has actually positioned the pinion gear closer to the center of the gear itself to create a smoother, more powerful reel. I prefer 10lb braid and a medium – medium heavy action rod for the Stradic FJ, especially since I'll be fishing slightly heavier baits and either dragging or throwing around heavy cover.
There is a major difference in these two reels, simply pick them up and you can feel the difference right away. At first, I wasn't a fan of the FJ; I thought it was heavy, bulking and not very smooth. After trying different lines and pairing it up with different rods, it dawned on me; it wasn't that the reel wasn't smooth, it was literally the power I was feeling when I cranked the handle and that's the biggest difference from the Ci-4, you can actually feel the power of the FJ in your hands.
Both of these reels have done exactly what they were designed to do with no problems and I would confidently recommend them to any bass angler.

LOS maiden went well. I put my gopro on my head and tried to record video, but it was angled to far up. You can still see the glider in many cases, but it's just the glider against blue sky. Handlaunch was uneventful, used a good amount of up trim.
For gliding in general, it needed a decent amount of up trim, using the stock 1300 in a slgihtly nose heavy attitude. Climbouts were strong, although not blistering. Got about 20 minutes on the 1300, although I didn't really push it. I have a feeling my battery was only about 60% depleted, though I didn't check. I ran right home after the successful maiden and began work on the FPV system. I'm using a Fatshark CCD killer camera, an Immersion 600MW 5.8ghz transmitter, and a Cloverleaf antenna on the transmitter. The fatshark camera comes with a Pan/Tilt setup, and I added a servo stretcher on pan, so I can look 180 degrees back and forth. The transmitter and camera are powered by a 3S 1000mah. Here are pics for those interested: The 3S 1000mah velcro's to the side of the canopy, were the hard velcro is. I'm using some fatshark predator goggles, with a Turbine antenna on the reciever, and have headtracking enabled and all ready to go. |

FPV maiden went off without a hitch. This camera has a narrower lens than I'm used too, but it was really nice for looking down over the nose of a floating sailplane
It's hard for me to judge altitude with this lens at the moment, so no idea how high I got, but I had crystal clear video the whole time. Really relaxing, for a change. I swapped connectors, so tomorrow morning I'll have four 2500's to run through it. My timer is set to 7 minutes, and is only activated when the throttle is above 10% (basically, timer is only counting when the motor is on, gliding doesn't reduce time). So hopefully, with 4 2100's, I should get a decent amount of flying in tomorrow morning. |

The Calypso is super fun on the slopes! I maxed out the mechanical throw everywhere...and it carves very well in slope lift. I plan on building a pure glider version for more slope flying when the ARFs ship.

Hey. Nope..a little over a week ago. I forgot it was on my phone ;-).

George. Thanks for posting that. First time I've seen the Calypso sloping.
Wow. It looks fairly fast along that crosswind leg down the beach, and it turned in, downwind, very responsively and recovered to cross slope without hesitation. Would you say that this is a fairly good "performance sloper"? I innitially thought it was a beginner's sailplane, but judging by what I just saw I think it will really perform. It reminds me of the old Hobie Hawk with the first ever eliptical wing. That bird really hauled AND was rigid and nearly indistructable. Would you say that the Calypso is as well? Thanks, Robert |

Hi, ory69.
The Calypso is really nothing like the Hobie Hawk. It's foam so it will take some impact but the similarity ends there. It's much lighter and has a thicker airfoil so, while it will fly faster than some other foamies, it will also float at low speeds. |

A cross-party group of Norfolk county councillors, led by the UKIP group leader Toby Coke, is to make a further attempt to terminate the Cory Wheelabrator contract while the costs are still capped at £26m, by calling an extraordinary general meeting of the county council in early April.
The group, which includes councillors Tim East (Lib Dem), Andrew Boswell (Green), John Dobson (Con), Alexandra Kemp (Lab) and Richard Bird (Ind) wants an urgent decision from the council on whether to terminate the contract.
• Norfolk waste could be sent to Suffolk incinerator
• Norfolk incinerator project could be back in the balance, as a new vote looms
• Renewed plea for Eric Pickles to hurry up with King's Lynn incinerator decision
If no decision is taken on planning by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles by May 1, the council will have to decide whether to continue with the contract.
If it does so, the compensation costs are expected to rise by £5m, to £31m.
Mr Coke said: "It is estimated that the termination costs would increase after May 1 by an eye-watering £400,000 per month or nearly £5 per annum.
"It is absolutely essential that this decision is taken by the full council and not through an exclusive cabinet resolution, nor under powers delegated to the authority.
"The group, which has strong cross-party support, believes that there is no alternative but to seek a termination of the contract, prior to that date."
Mr East said the group needed five signatures to call the meeting. He added: "We're demanding an EGM, which we're constitutionally entitled to do. It's a game changern if we get a second bite of the cherry if he [Eric Pickles] hasn't made a decision."
Norfolk County Council voted by 40 votes to 38 to continue with the incinerator in October. The council gave it planning permission 18 months ago and has signed a contract with Cory Wheelabrator to build and run the plant at Saddlebow, near King's Lynn.
But the planning decision was "called in" by Mr Pickles, triggering a three-month public inquiry last year.
Mr Pickles was due to announce his decision - arrived at after considering a report filed by the inspector who chaired the inquiry - on January 14.
But officials in his office said the announcement would be delayed. When the EDP asked Mr Pickles when it might be made, he said: "I'll make it when I'm confident that the decision is a good one."
Last year, the government withdrew £169m in waste infrastructure credits from the project, saying the burner was no longer needed to meet its target for diverting waste from landfill.
Norfolk County Council faces paying Cory at least £25m in compensation if it terminates the contract. The figure rises by £6m in May.
Pro-incinerator councillors - some who were elected on an anti-incinerator ticket - say it offers the most cost-effective way forward.
But opponents say there are cheaper, more environmentally-friendly ways of disposing of our waste, even taking into account the cost of cancellation.

Thanks for your diversion Delboy, far from it, the article was shut for comments from its inception, until it was parked here. But you just carry on supporting the most expensive, most polluting and least effective option, its not even a solution to our needs. Its also a bit dodgy to go into business with criminals, for all I understand from Wheelabrators multiple prosecutions for the worst pollution possible, they would not be a proper partner to many councils. Their compensation scheme, signed by nine, will make them very unpopular with other councils, you see thats why I'm not in support of NCC's pollution agenda, although leafy Peckham might be persuaded by your argument.

Well Ingo it looks like last nights bout of nasty remarks from the anti campaign had to be cleansed away. A group of KLWIN supporters were on here being very insulting to anyone who offered a different view.
Saturday, February 15, 2014
just to explain the zero comments bar mine. It is the policy of the EDP to disallow commen ts on issue that could lead to embarrassment to leading Norfolk party politicians. Off course, should you be an Independent, then your reputation you have no protection as such from coments, you are vogelfrei, outlawed for all and sundry to have a go at, including this paper.

The questions that get asked frequently enough that it's just easier to answer them publicly (disclaimer: everyone knows that the best FAQs are the ones not based on real questions)
- What denomination are you apart of?
Well the thing is that we haven't applied to be apart of any one because we assume they'll just turn us down. Not to mention we don't have a dime to our name.
- You've said "we" a few times, so, who else is apart of your church?
So I know Jesus said the whole "where two or three have gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst," but the thing is that I consider this to be a church even though it's just me. So you got me there, well done. But I don't think its officially a cult when there is only one member – so that's a perk.
- I've noticed a tendency of your posts to be a little more heavy in the applying of jelly to the PB&J sandwich if you catch my drift… Oh I'll just come out and ask – are you emergent?
Oh geez. Pretty much everyone is afraid of being labeled this because its synonymous with heresy in so many circles and its like a Christian career death wish. The truth is I don't identify as emergent because the whole movement exists as a transitory kind of thing (a movement away from fundamentalism, but not a movement to promote itself as the substitute), though I find some of their criticisms valid and I read some emergent authors (as well as plenty of non-emergent authors).
- Your name is very offensive. It's self-aggrandizing, blasphemous, and….
That's not a question. Though may I compliment you on the use of fantastic vocabulary words? (See – that's a question).
- So why do ALL of your posts have two titles (ex: Charlie's Church of Christ Named Worst Blog of All Time, Or The Failure of an Oregon Man)
When I was writing my first post I couldn't decide on a name and I was reminded of the tendency of books in the 1800's to carry two titles (ex Charles Darwin's "On The Origin of Species By Means Of Natural Selection, Or The Preservation of Favoured Races In The Struggle For Life). I never planned to do it that way but I enjoyed it so much it stuck. And now I have fun titling my posts.
- When I e-mail you three pages of all the ways in which you are wrong, an abomination to Christianity, committing heresy, are working against the church, and have offended me you do not respond that you've repented. So why are you so boldly denying the truth that it so obvious? Do you think hell will have a great buffet?
If a baby won't stop crying at the top of its lungs – do you squeeze it harder, shake it and yell at it? No! Because it will only further upset them, and in fact it will be counter productive because they will only hit even higher notes. So, knowing that, why do you insult your fellow man, demean him, yell at him, and threaten him? Do they ever conform? Do they ever have a moment of truth and conversion?
- Hey are you the same Charlie's Church of Christ as the one I was reading three years ago?
Yes it is/I am, but let's be honest around 4 people read the three posts I wrote. So the fact that you asked this makes you sound suspicious. I'm going to have to notify the police actually.
Send any real questions to charlieschurchofchrist (at) gmail dot com and I will answer it, and maybe even post it. Yee haw!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Piss Christ is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition,[1] which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects, without controlling content.
The photograph is of a small plastic crucifix submerged in what appears to be a yellow liquid. The artist has described the substance as being his own urine in a glass.[2][3] The photograph was one of a series of photographs that Serrano had made that involved classical statuettes submerged in various fluids—milk, blood, and urine.[4] The full title of the work is Immersion (Piss Christ).[5][6] The photograph is a 60x40 inch Cibachrome print. It is glossy and its colors are deeply saturated. The presentation is that of a golden, rosy medium including a constellation of tiny bubbles. Without Serrano specifying the substance to be urine and without the title referring to urine by another name, the viewer would not necessarily be able to differentiate between the stated medium of urine and a medium of similar appearance, such as amber or polyurethane.[7]
Serrano has not ascribed overtly political content to Piss Christ and related artworks, on the contrary stressing their ambiguity. He has also said that while this work is not intended to denounce religion, it alludes to a perceived commercializing or cheapening of Christian icons in contemporary culture.[8]
The art critic Lucy R. Lippard has presented a constructive case for the formal value of Serrano's Piss Christ, which she characterizes as mysterious and beautiful.[7] She writes that the work is "a darkly beautiful photographic image… the small wood and plastic crucifix becomes virtually monumental as it floats, photographically enlarged, in a deep rosy glow that is both ominous and glorious." Lippard suggests that the formal values of the image can be regarded separately from other meanings.[9]
In 1987, Serrano's Piss Christ was exhibited at the Stux Gallery in New York and was favorably received.[10] The piece later caused a scandal when it was exhibited in 1989, with detractors, including United States Senators Al D'Amato and Jesse Helms, outraged that Serrano received $15,000 for the work, and $5,000 in 1986[11] from the taxpayer-funded National Endowment for the Arts. Serrano received death threats and hate mail, and he lost grants due to the controversy.[12] Others alleged that the government funding of Piss Christ violated separation of church and state.[13][14] The work was vandalized at the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, and gallery officials reported receiving death threats in response to Piss Christ.[15] Supporters argued that the controversy over Piss Christ is an issue of artistic freedom and freedom of speech.[15]
Sister Wendy Beckett, an art critic and Catholic nun, stated in a television interview with Bill Moyers that she regarded the work as not blasphemous but a statement on "what we have done to Christ": that is, the way contemporary society has come to regard Christ and the values he represents.[16]
During a retrospective of Serrano's work at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1997, the then Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, George Pell, sought an injunction from the Supreme Court of Victoria to restrain the National Gallery of Victoria from publicly displaying Piss Christ, which was not granted. Some days later, one patron attempted to remove the work from the gallery wall, and two teenagers later attacked it with a hammer.[17] The director of the NGV cancelled the show, allegedly out of concern for a Rembrandt exhibition that was also on display at the time.[13]
Piss Christ was included in "Down by Law", a "show within a show" on identity politics and disobedience that formed part of the 2006 Whitney Biennial. The British Channel 4 TV documentary Damned in the USA explored the controversy surrounding Piss Christ.
On April 17, 2011, a print of Piss Christ was vandalized "beyond repair" by Christian protesters while on display during the Je crois aux miracles (I believe in miracles) exhibition at the Collection Lambert, a contemporary art museum in Avignon, France.[18][19] Serrano's photo The Church was similarly vandalized in the attack.
Beginning September 27, 2012, Piss Christ was on display at the Edward Tyler Nahem gallery in New York, at the Andres Serrano show "Body and Spirit."[20] Religious groups and some lawmakers called for President Barack Obama to denounce the artwork, comparing it to the anti-Islamic film Innocence of Muslims that the White House had condemned earlier that month.[21]
