Decatur Gun Club
The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

GOP congressman invites Ted Nugent to Obama speech
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 12:48pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Republican congressman says he's invited rocker Ted Nugent, who has referred to President Barack Obama's administration as "evil, America-hating," to the State of the Union address.
Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas said Monday on his website that Nugent will be his guest for the president's speech Tuesday night. Stockman has talked of impeaching Obama over his gun control proposals.
In a speech to the National Rifle Association during the 2012 campaign, Nugent said that if Obama were re-elected, the longtime gun-control opponent would either be "dead or in jail."
Nugent's remarks led to meetings with representatives of the Secret Service.
Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez said another guest would be Gabino Sanchez of South Carolina. Gutierrez described Sanchez as a husband, father and an illegal immigrant fighting deportation.

Column - Washington could learn from S.D.
Hello once again from Pierre. Week two of the legislative session has now passed, and the legislature has begun its work in crafting the state budget for the coming fiscal year.Balancing the state's budget always presents its share of challenges. When I first came into office two years ago, our state faced a $127 million budget deficit. To solve the deficit, I supported a fiscally conservative plan of balancing our budget without raising taxes. Today, because of the efforts of the legislature and the Governor to properly balance the budget, along with some unexpected excess revenue, we now must determine how to appropriate $26 million in excess revenue.Where to best appropriate the excess $26 million is currently an open discussion, and I would certainly welcome your input. A great deal of uncertainty remains due to the inaction of our own federal government. When Congress reportedly averted the "fiscal cliff" a few weeks ago, they did nothing to deal with the sequestration cuts which could have a large impact on our state budget. Instead of solving the problem, Congress delayed action until March 1. A March 1 decision on the part of Washington would leave our legislature only one week to potentially deal with a massive decline in federal funds. In fact, if the sequester cuts go through without change, 10.3 percent of our state's revenue would be instantly gone.The uncertainty leads me to prefer leaving some of that excess money in our reserves. We shouldn't spend every dollar without knowing the effect of the sequestration cuts on our own budget.As a point of comparison, the federal government can learn a great deal from South Dakota when it comes to managing our funds. In our state, we balance our budget every year. It has been over 1,200 days since the U.S. Senate merely proposed a budget. In South Dakota, we live within our means and don't rack up a massive debt and pass it on to our children. Our federal government, by comparison, has accumulated over $16 trillion in debt, which is over $145,000 per taxpayer.I am interested in hearing your thoughts regarding what you think we should do with our excess funds. Please feel free to contact me directly at 605-261-3620. If you would like to email me, you may do so at email@example.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

I've never been one for upgrading my Windows OS, but I have upgraded three friends to Windows 8, of which 2/3 upgrades worked without issues, the last one requiring a clean install.
I do think its slightly disappointing that the upgrade does have a decent amount of failures, I think MS should recommend a clean install when the upgrade assistant detects that a system upgrade is likely to fail (they should be able to do that, perhaps too many apps, install is old and messy etc...)
I have always found Ubuntu updates to be a pain myself, especially with my AMD Card and 3 monitors. I like OSS, and the ideologies behind it, and the 3 monitors are very useful when using Blender 3D, LuxRender and Gimp (post pro/textures) which I have taught myself to use over 3DS Maxx (free student licence) and Photoshop (crack lol)
I've read before on Phoronix that if you don't want to change config files to get your graphics setup you shouldn't be using Linux, I think that's ridiculous. The above software (Blender, Lux and Gimp) are all OSS, and don't require hacks to setup properly, and its OSS. I would like to have a full OSS setup, but the 3 monitors make that difficult.
So right now, Windows 8 is the OS that works best for my content/game uses, so that's what I will use until otherwise possible (here hoping) and Ubuntu for web/music etc...

Bringing healthier foods to the table can be easier -- and more delicious -- than you might think. When you add high-quality proteins such as soyfoods to the menu, you open up the door to a wide variety of tasty and nutritious meals.
The plant-based proteins of soy are packed with benefits for your body. They:
- Have all the essential amino acids needed for growth.
- May help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol and increasing the flexibility of blood vessels.
- Are equivalent to animal sources of protein but have no cholesterol and little saturated fat.
In fact, both the national 2010 Dietary Guidelines and the MyPlate nutrition guidance recommend soyfoods such as soymilk, veggie burgers, soy nutrition bars, soy sausages, tofu, soy yogurt, soy protein shakes and edamame. You can easily enjoy soy proteins in a lot of different ways.
Meat and poultry lovers can enjoy soy, too, by incorporating soy crumbles and other soy products into their favorite dishes. This recipe for a Veggie Taco Salad makes a satisfying, nutritious entree for the whole family.
Veggie Taco Salad
Makes 4 servings
2 cups soy crumbles (you can find these in your grocer's freezer section or refrigerated meat section)
3/4 cup salsa
5 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup corn kernels
1 cup black beans
Topping options:
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
2 tablespoons fat free sour cream
In large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook crumbles and salsa over medium heat about 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently.
In large bowl toss together lettuce, corn and black beans. Arrange on 4 serving plates. Top with crumbles mixture. Sprinkle with toppings.

We are not actively seeking Wal-Marts, truckstops or other parking lots and will not be adding very many of these. There are enough Wal-Mart and truck stop directories out there already. However, if a member of the community finds one of these locations to be useful for overnight RV parking and creates an entry, we may approve the listing.

Oh the irony- - Doing time for something he didn't do* Ok ,it was 40 yrs, but how many people did Phillips and the NYPD of that era, put behind bars for crimes they had nothing to do with?- See the "Career Girls Murders"and go from there- Sure the racial tension , the war protests, and the emerging drug trade ,all played a part> but police corruption had been around forever, guys like Phillips made the mistake of thinking they were untouchable. They made the mistake that guys like Durk and Serpico would forever be ignored by the brass- they were almost right- -
Did he pay for another cops crimes? Maybe -Maybe not- - but as the rascist element of the NYPD liked to say 40 plus yrs ago If not this ,its something else> ,you know how "these people" are.
So Mr Phillips, as someone who watched my dad get shaked down so you and others like you could live the life - Even all this time later, I have little sympathy. Im sure that even you can see the bittersweet irony in the "The Blue Wall,s" code of "omerta "that you upheld, then violated.

Nimrod® font family
Designed by Robin Nicholas in 1980
Nimrod was released by Monotype in 1980. Designed for current newspaper technology, the Nimrod font family evolved as a result of extensive examination of newspaper industry needs. Nimrod retains many of the features of the traditional newspaper Ionics, but some of the fussier detailing has been replaced by the more sober forms of the old styles, such as Plantin. A highly legible font family, especially in smaller sizes, its clear unambiguous character shapes make easily readable blocks of text. Nimrod also withstands the degradation encountered in newspaper production and printing. First used for body text in the Leicester Mercury newspaper, the Nimrod font family has subsequently become a popular choice in newspapers for text and headlines.

Helpful Definition for: Lawyers - All
Lawyers in Mazomanie are professionals with an extensive knowledge of law within Wisconsin and who practice law as well. The job of a lawyer demands the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge for solving specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of clients or third parties.
The responsibilities of a lawyer vary significantly across legal jurisdictions. The following are the major responsibilities that are common to most of the states oral argument in the courts: Research and Drafting of court papers, Advocacy (written and oral) in administrative hearings, Client Intake and Counseling (with regard to pending litigation), Legal advice, Protecting intellectual property, Negotiating and Drafting contracts, Conveying, Carrying out the intent of the deceased, and Prosecution and Defense of criminal suspects in Wisconsin.
Some jurisdictions like Wisconsin grant a diploma privilege to certain institutions, so that the primary qualification for practicing law is merely earning a degree or credential from those institutions. While in some countries a formal apprenticeship with an experienced practitioner is required. The career structure of lawyers in Mazomanie vary extensively. In most common law countries, besides private practice, lawyers can become a prosecutor, government counsel, corporate in-house counsel, administrative law judge, judge, arbitrator, law professor, or politician.

text: Flat Out Fabulous is described as a "bright plum matte." It's a cool-toned, fuchsia-plum with a flat, matte finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff, and the consistency is slightly dry and does tug somewhat on lips. It does warm up as you try to apply it from the tube, so there is that, but your best bet would be applying with a lip brush to avoid dragging the product across the lips. This was the fourth I'd tested, and my lips were progressively getting drier and drier, so I'd also have to call this one drying. It lasted well for six and a half hours and then started to fade but did leave behind a stain. Urban Decay Anarchy is brighter, luminous. Maybelline Electric Fuchsia is brighter, lighter, less matte. Maybelline Hot Plum is slightly more plum and less matte. MAC Night Blooming is purpler, less matte. MAC Quick Sizzle is just slightly pinker. MAC Pink Pigeon is brighter, pinker.

UP pays $17.3 million in damages for Rich Fire
Delaine FragnoliManaging Editor
Union Pacific Railroad Co. has agreed to pay more than $17 million for damages and suppression costs related to the 2008 Rich Fire on the Plumas National Forest.
The payment, announced by government officials, settled a federal claim after a Forest Service investigation concluded a crew of railroad workers negligently ignited the fire by cutting and welding rail without using tent shields.
The fire, which started July 29, 2008, in the Feather River Canyon, burned 6,500 acres, destroyed four structures, led to evacuations and temporarily closed Highway 70, the rail line and the Pacific Crest Trail.
The settlement amount includes the $10 million it cost to suppress the fire and another $7 million for destroyed timber, reforestation costs and other environmental and resource damages.
Union Pacific agreed to pay the bill in full in exchange for a release from damages claims.
The settlement comes two years after a record-setting agreement on the August 2000 Storrie Fire, which scorched 52,000 acres on the Plumas and Lassen national forests. That fire was also sparked by a UP crew repairing track.
In 2004, the Forest Service billed UP $63.9 million for damages. The company refused to pay that bill, and the United States filed suit. After two years of litigation, Union Pacific settled that case for $102 million.
It remains the largest settlement ever in a case about the origin of a wildfire.
It also set precedent by including not only suppression costs, but also damages to natural resources.
Settlement funds representing resource losses from fire are dedicated by federal statute to support restoration projects on the damaged national forests. A substantial portion of the Rich Fire settlement funds will go to the Forest Service to help remedy damages caused by the fire.
A fire restoration team on the Plumas National Forest will spend approximately the next year assessing needs and developing a plan said forest spokeswoman Lee Anne Schramel.
She noted the rugged nature of the fire area. "It's semi-primitive, non-motorized," she said, "so efforts will likely concentrate on slope stabilization, erosion control and watershed work."
"The Rich Fire settlement reflects the significant value we place on our treasured public forests," said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner.
"Union Pacific's agreement to pay for the damages caused by this fire, without litigation, benefits both the railroad and the public. Restoration projects funded by the settlement will have a direct environmental benefit in our district, by helping to heal the beautiful Feather River Canyon. Fire investigations and recoveries will remain a high priority for our office."
"A significant portion of this money will be used by the Forest Service to help restore the fire-damaged area," said Regional Forester Randy Moore. "We are pleased by the quick settlement."
At the time of the Storrie settlement, Moore noted power companies are the most common defendants in fire-origin cases, although tree trimming companies and negligent members of the public have also been found responsible in multiple cases.
The Eastern District of California has special Fire Recovery Litigation teams that focus solely on these types of cases.

APRS FireNet is an Internet-based system using the APRS protocol and much of the same client/server software to provide fire fighting, earthquake, and weather information in much higher volume and detail than the traditional APRS-IS system is capable of carrying. It carries the full APRS-IS feed PLUS the additional types of objects listed below. The tie-in between FireNet and APRS-IS allows station positions and messages to transfer between the systems, but the special FireNet objects do not get sent to APRS-IS.
Contents |
[edit] To use it
Connect your APRS client to Firenet.us port 14580, a filtered port. Set a filter on your client in the same manner as for APRS-IS servers. This connects you to the "Firenet-1" server every time (not the best idea any more, see the next paragraph).
A better address these days is: Firenet.aprs2.net port 14580. This will connect you to any of "Firenet-1", "Firenet-2", or "Firenet-3", so is a more robust connection address. If any of the three Firenet servers are up and running you should get connected in to the network.
[edit] Links
[edit] Objects injected into Firenet (there may be others)
- Fire objects, including acres and percentage contained
- Quake objects, down to magnitude 0.1
- River gauges
- METAR weather stations
- CMAN weather stations (ships)
- Ocean Buoy weather stations
- Colorado ALERT weather stations
- Colorado ALERT Gages
- Schoolnet weather stations
- RAWS weather stations
- MesoWest firenet objects
- Mesonet West Texas
- National Threat Alert Level
- Steam Train objects, UP844 or UP3985, intermittent usage
- AMBER alerts
- Winlink nodes
- AIS (ships and boats, coast stations, navaids and other maritime related) objects
[edit] Notes
Quake objects on Firenet attempt to follow the format originally created by Richard Parry, W9IF, for QuakeAPRS. Thanks go to Richard for pioneering this concept and for generating quake objects on APRS-IS for many years.
Steam train objects are very intermittent as the steam excursions don't happen often. If you're interested in any particular excursion send a note to WE7U beforehand to assure the objects will be available on FireNet when you need them.
