© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- The Albany High School baseball team, under the direction of Charles Chatmon, is off to a perfect 2-0 start following Wednesday's 7-5 win against Mitchell County.
The Indians opened the season earlier this week with a 22-12 rout of Monroe.
On Wednesday, Albany was led by Josh Nolin, who not only picked up the win on the mound -- striking out eight Eagles batters -- but he also finished 1-for-3 with three RBI.
Calvin Bennett, however, was the big bat for Albany as he finished with two hits and two RBI.
Mitchell managed just two hits in the game, but scored most of its runs off seven walks by Albany pitchers.
Albany next faces city rival Westover on Friday at Paul Eames Park at 5:30 p.m., while Mitchell faces local rival Baconton Charter next at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
SEMINOLE BASEBALL 11, CAiRO 4 & SEMINOLE 14:
Sneads (Fla), 6: The Seminole Indians started their baseball season Wednesday by sweeping the first two games at the Bainbridge Tournament. Justin Burke went 3-for-4 with three RBI against Cairo then went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer against Sneads. Jordan Harris went 3-for-3 with three RBI in the opener, and Chris Brown hit a solo homer in his first game, just a few days after basketball season ended.
Quan Johnson (1-0) went four innings with three strikeouts and no walks without allowing an earned run in the opener, and Sam Buczek (1-0) picked up the win on the mound against Sneads, going four innings and allowing four hits and three earned runs while striking out five. Buczek went 4-for-5 with three doubles and drove in five runs. Antwan Buggs went 3-for-3 against Sneads.
LEESBURG -- Fresh off a 2-0 win against Houston County in its opener late last week, the Lee County girls soccer team -- which made school history with its run to the Elite 8 last year -- moved to 2-0 with a 7-1 rout of Colquitt on Tuesday night.
Sophomores Nicole Polk and Carsen Taylor each scored three goals, while freshman Elise Mullins added the final goal. Danielle Brendel and Lauren Tosky each recorded three saves in goal.
Lee's next game is today at Tift County.
ALBANY -- The Westover boys and girls tennis teams continued their stellar start to the 2011 season Tuesday when they dropped just one match out of 10 in a pair of routs against Cairo at Darton College.
The girls won, 5-0, while the boys won, 4-1, as both squads improved to 3-1 on the year.
Westover's wins came from No. 1 singles player Savannah Boysen, No. 2 Lizzie Hale and No. 3 Mills Pickett. The Lady Patriots' No. 1 doubles duo, Morgan Barton and Rachel Clenney, and No. 2 doubles team of Rebekah Brown and Meera Kuntawala, also picked up points with their wins.
The Westover boys, meanwhile, were led by No. 1 singles star Matthew Cannon, No. 2 singles players Kyler Ryer and Edwin Bell at No. 3.
But the Patriots faltered at No. 1 doubles as Cairo's Marcus Holmes and Phil Lehman upset Tyler Clenney and Mason Murphy, 6-0, 6-2. The Patriots' No. 2 tandem of Lloyd Fisher and Elliot Nelson earned the Patriots' final point.
Westover's next match is March 3 vs. Americus-Sumter.

These curtain panels look really nice. I'm happy with the purchase but keep in mind that the fabric is shiny (similar to satin or ribbon). So, if you're looking for a matte look, these are not for you.
I like these curtains and they compliment my room .
Good product,good service , not 100% as per picture but very close! Not excellent but for the price and the service i will say very good!
We have these curtains in the living and dining areas. They're great for casual living space.
Nice panels except the color was much more goldish green toned in person than the taupe I wanted.

I copied this post from the comments from the California version of this same Generator. This guy is right on in his comments.8/31/2012 By McBrew from Annapolis, MDPros: Easy to start, Inexpensive, Relatively Quiet, Easy to start, Seems well built Cons: Hard To Find Wheel KitBest Uses: Camping, Household Backup PowerRunning power toolsHere are some tips:It seems like there are a lot of complaints here, so I wanted to address something:First, regardless of the breakers, the gen is only going to put out its maximum power... No more.Second, these types of generators, although outfitted with a 240v outlet, are really twin 120v generators. Each leg of the gen is capable of delivering 1600 watts. So, even though it is a "3200 watt" generator, you cannot get more than 1600 watts per leg. Make sure you split up your loads between the two outlets on the gen... Don't expect to get the full rating from one outlet... It cannot happen.Running your fridge and a window AC unit? Run One on each outlet... Then split up smaller loads (TV, lights, etc.) between the two as best you can.This is a fantastic gen for the price. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friendMy comments: McBrew is correct! This gen has two output 120 volt legs or circuits each properly fused @13 amps. There are two 120v circuits each producing 1600 watts. (1600/120volts= 13.3amps) Now, double the numbers: two 120 volt circuits each at 1600 watts x 2= the running watts of this generator of 3200 watts (26.6 amps) total.There is a reserve MOMENTARY Power of 400 watts per circuit to start motors of small A/C units, a fridge or freezer, drill, etc. So, 400 watts x 2 circuits = 800 + 3200= 4000 watts max mommentary power output. Period, there is no more.If you exceed the 1600 watts on either circuit the engine will surge to provide reserve power of up to 2000 watts. If this 2000 watt power draw remains constant, the gen will be in overload condition and the gen and internal wiring begins to heat up. Heat causes resistance where it takes more power for the watts to be pushed thru the internal wiring. So, a 1500 elec heater and a 500 watt work light would pull 2000 watts / 120 volts = 16.6 amps. (Max is 13.3A) As heat builds within the unit voltage drops to 114 volts and amprage increases. So, 2,000 watt draw on one circuit / 114 volts = 17.5 amps or 4.5 amps over the capacity of the 13 amp breakers. POP! The wiring inside the panel appears to be #16 wire. Under good conditions it will carry 13 amps matching the rated breakers. If a breaker fails to break the circuit flow, heat builds until a wire burns inside the gen or the panel. The same heat damage can occur running appliances at a lower than rated voltage. No Juice now. The manual is not clear on this issue. FYI.Hint: Take a felt marker and mark the left duplex recepticle as circuit A and the right one as B. Also, know the A recep shares power output with the 9 o'clock slot on the ROUND 240v recep so mark it A. The B recep shares power with the 3 o'clock slot. Mark it B. However, the watt capacity of the shared recepts is still 1600. Balance loads and tracking wattage of all equipment running is essential on thses units as overload damage is not covered by the warranty as explained on page 11 & 12 of the manual. The manual is confusing on page 12 where the 3200/4000 numbers are for total gen 2 circuit output. 1/2 those numbers for a single receptical capacity. As Mcbrew stated, you cannot obtain 3200 watts or 4000 watts from any single circuit of A or B for a rated 120 volt appliance. Only a 240 volt rated appliance can obtain this max wattage. Warning! Do not atttempt to combine wiring of circuits A&B to double their single output numbers. They are not comatible and not in phase and will cause a "very hot" sparking dead short.

Bought this because it has a 30amp output to power a 30amp Travel Trailer. Based on the wattage ratings, it should have done the job but it has not. Lets start from the begining. The design has the oil fill is the same as the drain. It is at the bottom of the engine away from the front making putting oil in very hard.. A normal funnel won't reach it. I decided to tilt it back in order fill it and then level it to check the oil level. Do not do this because oil will be draining out the air intake if not kept level! Past that, it starts & runs well. Is a bit noisey but acceptable for this size. It has a locking 30amp service port which I bought the appropriate 30L15 to TT30 converter plug @ HomeDstore. I could power the 15000 btu in the travel trailer most of the time without tripping the breaker as long as we did not try and power anything else. That was until temps got over 90 and the breaker would trip in just powering the AC and charging battery through inverter. Based on watts I should be using in the TT and the rating of the generator, I should not be having the issue. I think the issue is that the 30amp service is still tied to 1 15amp breaker as this is what kept tripping even though I had nothing plugged into the 15amp outlets. So I would recommend to use this for light duty only and cross your fingers for anything heavier. I also used higher octane gas and followed the break in period of running light load and changing oil after 20 hrs. I am a big fan of HF but this one seems to not meet up with expectations.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Predator Generators 4000 Peak/3200 Running Watts, 6.5 HP (212cc) Generator EPA III:
This was purchased as a backup for our house. I require the use of an oxygen concentrator at night and we have experienced several power outages in our area in the past year. So rather than finding a hotel in the surrounding towns that still had power, I decided to get a generator. After putting the wheel kit on and adding oil and gas, the generator started on the second pull. I let it run for one hour with no load then plugged in a few lights and a fan to see what would happen. I couldn't detect any change in the engine. I have only had it for a couple of months so it hasn't been run for any extended times, but I start it once in awhile just to keep it ready. It starts on the first pull every time and it doesn't require a hard pull either. My wife has no trouble starting it. I am very happy with this machine and would recommend it to anyone needing a reliable backup. I would also recommend getting the optional wheel kit because it makes moving the unit so much easier.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome Bang for the BUCK!

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I brought this generator after hurricane Sandy. It worked well powering my lights, fridge, etc. The drawback.... YOU BETTER BUY THE WHEEL KIT! It feels heavier than the 110lbs listed in the manual (and i lifted it dry)! Also, make sure you start it every other month. Otherwise, your going to flood it trying to get it started (i learned that the hard way). I had to empty the fuel from the motor, change the spark plug and let it sit overnight. In the morning, it started on the first pull! In other words, take care of it and it will be there for you when you need it most.

Football saved
By Worked for me
from Southern MD
Purchased over a year ago. Stuck in shed after running it once for about 20 min.Added some stabil to leftover gas about 9 months later.About a month after that (18 Jan 15), our power went out 30 min before Packers/Seahawks game started (about 2:30 EST).At 3:00, still no power, so fired the gen up...started on 3rd pull. Extension cord into house to power strip running 60" TV and cable box. Meanwhile, power company started to dig up front yard to find problem.At halftime, sent wife for more gas (gauge had shown almost empty when first started, but it kept humming along). Power not restored until 4th quarter of Pats/Colts game.Generator never missed a beat.Couldn't ask for better from the genny. Power company mess they left- that's a different story!

great small generator
By JB
from East Sandwich MA
Bought this after checking out video reviews, got this for under $300. Followed the break in procedure, I run it every few weeks, very happy with this purchase, this unit runs smooth with steady power output, easy to start and also very quiet, installed my own version of a wheel kit for better stability than the harbor freight kit. Have recommended this to friends and family.

Dependable Gen
By The cable guy
from Concord, Ca.
Bought 2 of them last year to test as emergency power for a broadband communications system. They performed better than expected. I just put in a P.O. to purchase 3 more to replace much more costly generators that have died. Worth every penny to keep 911 access up and running. I am recommending this to our other systems.

HF to the rescue!
By John
from Kalamazoo, MI
Storm rolled in knocked out power. Called HF told them I was on my way. Generator and the wheel kit was waiting for me at the door when I arrived. Got home filled oil and gas, 1st pull start. Ran 5 minutes then added refrigerator, then a couple lights,then other small electronics no problems. 10 hours later power returned. Couple days later pulled it back out to take a better look now that things were back to normal gave it a couple pulls came back to life no problem. Will run a couple hours more soon and then change the oil and put it away for next time. Finally, peace of mind when power is lost.

K Vintners Viognier 2012
Viognier from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
A seductive nose with Meyer lemon, sandalwood giving way to a rich palate of confectionary fruit, dried orange rind, Honeydew melon and beeswax. A beautiful and generous wine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Vibrant, ripe, focused and distinctive, with honeyed almond and floral character around a core of pear and citrus flavors, lingering enticingly on the open-textured finish."
K Vintners Winery
Located at the base of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla Washington, K Vintners opened its doors to the public on December 3rd, 2001. The property at 820 Mill Creek Road where the winery sits was homesteaded in 1853 with the adjacent farmhouse built in 1872. The winery grounds with Titus Creek flowing through the lawn and the old pioneer planted trees, is a little slice of heartland Americana.
The Winemaker: He loves to drink wine! Charles Smith, proprietor and winemaker, comes to Walla Walla after 11 years in Scandanavia. Originally from northern California, he has been involved with wine personally and professionally his whole life. And did we forget to mention... he loves to drink wine!
The Vineyards: K Vintners is producing wines from 2 distinctive viticultural zones: Wahluke Slope and Walla Walla Valley. Each of these areas are unique and awesome for Syrah and the Field Blends produced.
In April '02 two seperate blocks of vineyards were planted to Syrah adjacent to the winery in the rocky dry creek beds that run through K Vintners property. View all K Vintners Wines
About Columbia Valley
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

Good 1 & 3/4 inch natural cork. Pale -to-medium straw color with a hint of brass. Medium-to-full body, very leggy. Medium sized nose: cider, Armagnac, hints of cinnamon and pineapple. Big flavors; good fruit, ample acid to balance, mouth filling and rich (lots of extract), a nice finish, a hint of desirable bitterness. It is wonderful now (Oct 2104) and will hold several years, it might even improve for a few years. Don't over-chill this but be alert to a hint of CO2 prickle at room temperature. This is bigger than the Wild Horse Viognier but not necessarily better. At $25 it is worth the price but the Wild Horse is a better bargain. Still, if you can afford it this is a teriffic wine.Related ProductsThis wine is the essence of what Viognier is all about. Apricot fruit aromas and flavors with long luscious texture ...Sourced from a number of grape growing regions, the criteria for grapes to go into this wine is that they ...This blend offers aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, nutmeg, ripe pears, lemon chiffon and breakfast melons.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

I have been working at Northrop Grumman
I work in a relaxed atmosphere.
Like all other companies, employees are paying more for health care coverage. The long-term employees who are maxed out on vacation recently lost a day of vacation (25 days to 24 days) and were told that it was a good thing. New people get less pension benefits. You could be a number unless you purposely stand out.
1. Pay more of the health care dollars. 2.Consolidate the many company networks into one well working network. 3. I would perfer having a local help-desk person.

I have been working at Northrop GrummanPros
The flexability to start new programs, if a need can be shown. A flexable work schedule that spans the pay period. I am recognized by management and peers for the effort I put forth. The ability to move around to different jobs within the company has become much improved. It used to be that unless you were asked to apply for a job, you didn't dare apply. Failure to follow this unwritten rule was cause to be "blackballed"and the offender's career was over.Cons
The environment of the shipyard is hard. The good-old-boy network is slowly leaving, but not quick enough. When ther is a problem, there is often more finger pointing, than a desire to find the root cause. This has changed somewhat, but its still prevelant.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Responsibility should be upheld where responsibility is given.RecommendsApproves of CEO

I have been working at Northrop GrummanPros
They offer a great benefits package including 401K with employee match, pension, health insuarance choices, dental insurance, vision plan, paid vacation and floating holoidays and education assistance. Salaries seem competetive. Decent entry level salary and the company works hard to retain new employees by offering mentoring programs and other networking events/groups. It is also a solid, stable and respectable employer. The government contracting industry is a safe industry to be in right now in terms of job stability, especially in the IT field. Regardless of what administration takes office there will continue to be a strong demand for IT government contracts and NGIT is prepared to meet that need.Cons
What is probably the biggest downside of working at northrop grumman is being 1 of 130,000 employees. The company is absolutely huge, and spans across many states, and some countries. This massive size is largely the result of a large series of mergers and aquisitions of smaller companies. At times this creates a disunity between workgroups within the same company, but the upside is that the company has already made great strides to unite the company as one by streamlining organizations and processes. Another downside is that at much of northrop, the government is the customer, and this at times creates more work and more beaurocracy to deal with.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Conduct surveys to get employee feedback about how policies and procedures are affecting day to day work. What works in one part of the company may not work everywhere.Recommends


text: Good morning. I noticed last night that I could see what looked like +10 dates for dining on the British website. My ADR window opened this morning for 180 and I went to their website this morning and booked all of my ressies for my Sept trip, including my +10 dates. http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/en_GB/ After the website opens, click on WHERE TO EAT then Make Dining Reservations (This opens the old dining reservation section, you will need your Resort Ressie number and arrival date to link to your dining plan) It worked like a dream and the ressies show up in the new My Disney Experience website as well. I received email confirmations for all of my ressies just like you normally do. Thought this might help those of you who, like me, hate to call the dining line. Have a great day!

Great all purpose cleaner!
Comments about Fantastik® All-Purpose Cleaner, 1 gal, 4/Case:
This is a great all purpose cleaner. It doesn't leave a greasy feel or film and has a pleasant clean smell without being over powering. Fantastik does a great job cleaning the really grungy places with ease. In the food industry we are very careful with the products that we use and Staples made obtaining the proper paperwork easy. The price really works for that bottom line too!

watercolor and India ink on watercolor paper. I recently went to Hawaii and snorkeled with many of these beautiful and colorful, tropical fish. Trigger fish are called triggers because of their boney pectoral and pelvic spines. They use these two spines to lock themselves inside of a hole in a rock or coral. When the sea gets rough or they get scared they can ride out the troubled waters locked away from danger.

"Sometimes watercolor alone just doesn't capture the depth needed to tell the story. When pastel or ink is added, it seems to complete the piece of art."

I love this media because of the easy soap and water clean up and the paint isn't toxic, but otherwise behaves just like traditional oils."

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Colin Meloy provides the voice as well as the songs, and his distinct and lucid narration can ply you into either a fictional dream state or -- through his plaintive wail -- something more therapeutic. He sounds a bit like Jeremy Enigk did on his baroque Christian outing, The Return of the Frog Queen. If you want to keep reaching for comparisons, then try XTC's Skylarking, but once again, with a penchant for accordions. Also, if you've spent considerable time at sea, are indeed a pirate or have ever used the word "boyo" in common conversation, you might find a kinship with the Decemberists' blatant friendship with the sea shanty.
Her Majesty is the band's second record, and it carries the same sort of Brit-lit-soaked promise heard on their 2002 debut. In fact, where the debut occasionally creaked under the weight of its own thick baroque instrumentation, this record seems able to find the happy medium where story-songs and a wide array of musical instruments can coexist without sounding like Poi Dog Pondering. In fact, it flips from whimsical Anglophiles to old-world market Gypsies and back again with nary a blink of the eye. Her Majesty exists as a dedication to a singular (and often nautical) vision, something even the swarthiest of all sea dogs cannot discount.

New Fla. police chief wants less 'intimidating' uniforms
Police Chief Jeffrey Katz says the tactical uniforms his police wear now make the officers less approachable by the public
By Attiyya Anthony
Sun Sentinel
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — What's in a uniform? For Boynton Beach's new Police Chief Jeffrey Katz, a lot. What officers wear not only serves a purpose, it sends a message.
Katz, who is on a mission to help build community trust, is asking for a department-wide wardrobe change this October to let the public know that officers are approachable and ready to help.
The current uniforms are "tactical style," with an exterior bullet proof vest, which Katz says is "intimidating" to the public. That's why he wants to suit up his 164 sworn officers in a more traditional uniform with a hidden vest and weapons on their belts.

Beautiful Property
Our family of six had a fun filled vacation at Villa Makambu! The property was beautiful and private but also close to nice restaurants and the beach. The owners, Pascale and Franz were great hosts, giving us tons of information as newcomers to the Island. Also big thank you to Carlos for the yummy fish cakes and taking us to the awesome snorkeling spots!
Saved our Honeymoon!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the property owner or this property. We had an absolutely terrible experience at Sandals Resorts and we were looking for a last minute real St Lucian experience. This house not only saved our honeymoon it made it one we will never forget. We cried from happiness when we got there! It was so authentic and relaxing. We were able to walk down the hill every day for breakfast and water activities, and come back in time for wine and a gorgeous sunset in the pool every night. We felt very safe and truly never wanted to leave. I think we think about going back every other day!
Home away from home with the perfect view.
This was my first time renting a house so I was a bit nervous prior to arriving. I was put at ease with the communications I had with the owner of the property via email who answered any questions I had fairly promptly. My family and I were visiting St. Lucia due to a funeral and Ginny, the owner was very understanding and accommodating to our situation. I am truly grateful for that. Getting to the property was a bit tricky arriving at night because its in a secluded area with many winding roads. Luckily Cornelius, one of the property managers, for the house was waiting for us with the key and was able to provide more detailed directions to our taxi driver. Upon arriving late after a delayed flight we were eager to see the property and I must say the property looked exactly like in the pictures. Cornelius gave us the tour of the house and answered any questions we had. We also had contact numbers for him and his wife Pauline should we have any issues which was but was hardly needed. Waking up the following day and seeing the property in all its splendor as well as the magnificent views really made me happy I chose this house. The kitchen was well stocked and the general cleanliness and maintenance of the entire property was well done. It was spacious and well ventilated and the cool breeze was fantastic. Even more surprising was that we had no trouble with mosquitoes and the beds were fantastic. If I had to nitpick something negative about the house it would be that the pool was not heated. I took a dip once and it was freezing despite enjoying the warm Caribbean weather. Also, its an older house so some the fixtures might need updating but despite these minor things I would gladly return to this hidden gem of a property. I encourage anyone to choose this hidden piece of heaven. Thank you Ginny, Cornelius and Pauline. Hopefully my family and I can return under better circumstances. Warm Regards, Javis (from St. Maarten)

Texas Case Restricts City Admin Boards from Abating Blight without Just Compensation
The Texas Supreme Court recently issued an opinion that makes some new law in the crucial and evolving area of individual property rights versus local governments' objectives of abating blighted properites. From The Examiner newspapers, The Hazard Next Door: Texas Ruling Restricts Cities from Eliminating Blighted Structures.
The case, City of Dallas v. Heather Stewart, involved a situation similar to the one involving Thurmond. A city of Dallas board recommended that a long-dilapidated home be demolished. The city did that, but the owner, Stewart, sued in district court, saying the city had unlawfully taken her property. At trial, the jury ruled in her favor, and Stewart was awarded her $75,707.67 for the destruction of her home.
Dallas appealed the case to the Texas Supreme Court, which ruled July 1. In the majority opinion, Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson acknowledged that cities "must be able to abate dilapidated structures" that "threaten neighborhoods." But, Jefferson wrote, cities must set up a mechanism to address that threat that complies with Texas constitutional mandates that protect private property rights.
"Today we hold that a system that permits constitutional issues of this importance to be decided by an administrative board, whose decisions are essentially conclusive, does not correctly balance the need to abate nuisances against the rights accorded to property owners under our constitution," Jefferson wrote, adding that independent review of a court is necessary.
Particularly in light of the foreclosure crisis, this type of decision could seriously handcuff local governments trying to make a difference in the current context; on the other hand, even though the facts of this case are unsympathetic, there still is an important constitutional right to just compensation. I wasn't tracking the case until after it came out and the reporter called, but it seems that it has already chilled similar local government actions here in Houston, and should be noted by public administrators across the US.

Shed Landscape
Hi All -
I have a new garden and tool shed (SE Wisconsin) and I'm looking to landscape around it. It is a 12 x 10 building on a gravel base. The floor is pressure treated on a pressure treated frame. The structure is t1-11 plywood.
My initial though is to lay traffic bond / paver base at a depth of 1/2 inch and 30 inches out surrounding the shed. This would be a "keep out zone" for planting as I want the underside of the shed to be properly ventilated, keep plants and moisture away from the wood, and give me a solid base for a ladder when staining. Also has the benefit of being the drip line for the shed. Is this a sensible idea that helps drainage and achieves the reasons? Seems like it does, but looking for others input.
Around the outside of the 30" perimeter of traffic bond is where I'll actually being my planting, landscaping, mulch, etc. So like I said, the traffic bond's purpose is to help drainage, keep airflow, and separate the shed from other organic matter.
Good idea?
It seems that you are proposing a mulched area which you are calling "paver base"... not the actual pavers. If this is so, I'd be more inclined to call it a stone/rock mulch. It seems like a reasonable idea IF one makes sure that it is not in contact with any wood of the structure and actually, that there is sufficient clearance from any rot-prone wood. Being for the most part against "landscape fabric" as a weed deterrent, I am nevertheless FOR it as a soil "separator" when one adds stone mulch to soil. If at any time later one attempts to undo their "wrong" of having installed stone mulch, having installed landscape fabric along with it will turn out to be a big help. But, in the case described and making sure that sufficient clearance is maintained, I see stone mulch as having little benefit over plain old wood/bark-based mulch. It would do all the same things and not require a landscape fabric separator. The only other thing I question about the proposed scheme is if 30" from the building wall is sufficient for setting up a ladder. The easiest test is to set up the ladder and see what space it requires and add a small amount for clearance.
Thanks, how is it different from the base of the shed being set on gravel? The wood is contact with the gravel at some points and it seems like the idea of the stone / gravel base was to allow the moisture to filter down, away and into the soil vs a wood mulch that retains more of the moisture towards the surface?
My idea of the paver base was two fold - creating the solid surface for a ladder (30" is sufficient, though I may go to 35" for added comfort - I have a little giant style ladder with a 25" width at the base) and it doubles as improving drainage by moving water through and away rather than a wood mulch that retains more.
Certainly I'm no expert, but that was my logic.
The only area of contact I anticipated with the paver base was with the shed ramp which is pressure treated and contacts the ground at some point regardless of what I do.
When we had the ugly old shed that came with the house torn down and replaced fall 2006/spring 2007, the new shed was built on top of those big concrete squares, set on compacted crushed gravel. The concrete squares became the floor of the shed. The guy who built it for us used that Trex stuff for the bits that are in direct contact with the concrete. Our shed is smaller than yours - 10' wide x 8' deep.
We didn't leave space around the shed, other than at the rear where there is about 15-18" between the shed and the compost bins. The other three sides are planted - but the closest things are either perennials than can be cut back if necessary or shrubs that can also be pruned hard if need be for access. A couple of years after the shed was finished, I changed my mind about the color. DH was able to paint it easily without damaging the plantings.
Any unheated wooden structure is going to deteriorate over time. If we get 20-25 years of use out of the current shed, I'd count that as good. By that time, we're likely to have moved on anyway :-) So think about realistic lifespan for the shed and your likely tenure on the property when thinking about its construction and the planting around it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Shed project
Thanks woodyoak. appreciate the comments. If I got 15 years from the structure I'd be happy. I'd rather not do back breaking labor to get that, but if that is what is necessary then so be it. I have some comments elsewhere telling me to drop in 3 inches of paver base else I risk it being washed away. If's very confusing to say the least, I obviously want it to last but the difference between an inch and 3 inches of base is actually overwhelming. I see neighbors that have done a heck of a lot less than what I plan and they have 10+years. Its difficult to decide what is enough and what is overkill.

Federal Court Upholds West Hollywoods Fur Ban
Court strikes down a retailers complaint that West Hollywoods ban on fur clothing is unconstitutional.
Last year, the City of West Hollywood instituted a law that prohibits the sale of wearable fur products, but a legal battle ensued when local retailer Mayfair House Inc., which sells a variety of men's and women's fur-lined clothing items, challenged the ordinance. A federal court has sided with the West Hollywood government and the ban was upheld. Chief Judge George H. King, speaking on behalf of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, wrote that the law was not unconstitutional and it demonstrated West Hollywood's effort to "promote community awareness of animal welfare, foster the City's goal to be a community that cares about animal welfare, and further the City's reputation as Cruelty Free Zone for animals." West Hollywood is the first city in the United States to pass a fur law of this kind.
