Detour Area School District Operating Tax Levy Renewal Proposal (May 2013)
A Detour Area School District Operating Tax Levy Renewal proposal is on the May 7, 2013, election ballot in Chippewa County, which is in Michigan.
If approved, this measure authorizes the Detour School District to renew a property tax levy of 18 mills ($18 per $1,000 of assessed valuation) for the year of 2013. The estimated revenue from this tax is $2,019,000.[1]
Text of measure
Language on the ballot:
" | This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in DeTour Area Schools, Chippewa County, Michigan, be increased by 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for the year 2013 to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2013 is approximately $2,019,000 (this is a renewal of millage which expired with the 2012 tax levy)?[1][2] |

After throwing 20 touchdown passes and just five interceptions in 15 games as a rookie, Griffin III threw 16 touchdowns and 12 picks in 13 games last season.
"What you saw last year was almost a little disrespectful to the game of football," Allen said. "It's impossible to ask a player to perform well during the regular season if you haven't practiced. Last year at this time, he was still rehabbing his knee, and he wasn't allowed to practice or work in team drills.
"We put him on the spot by trying to do that. And this year he's had a full offseason, his knee is 100 percent, knock on wood, and he's had all (the practices), and that's how you get ready to play a football season."
After winning the NFC East in 2012, Griffin had major knee surgery and the team struggled to 3-13 in 2013. Coach Mike Shanahan was fired at the end of the season and replaced by Jay Gruden.
One of Griffin's targets, wide receiver Pierre Garcon, left practice Monday with a hamstring injury, but it is not considered serious.
"He left practice early. He had a couple catches and then just had a little soreness in his hamstring. He'll be OK," Gruden said.

Answer the Call: First World War Posters
- 23 May 2014 — 10 May 2015 *on now
This exhibition forms part of the Ulster Museum's programme to mark the centenary of the First World War.
A powerful selection of First World War posters illustrates various aspects of the drive for recruitment between 1914 and 1918, and a range of visually-exciting calls for civilian support for the war effort.
Nearly 60 posters from the Ulster Museum's extensive collection of First World War posters (over 200 in total) are displayed in three broad groups – Parliamentary Recruiting Committee posters (1915-1916); Irish Recruiting Posters (1914-1918) and posters promoting civilian support for the war effort, including two striking posters by the celebrated graphic artist Frank Brangwynn.
This is the first exhibition in Ireland which displays these posters as a large group, with the emphasis on the role of images in the story of war and as agents of media and marketing. It will be of special attraction to all with an interest in the history of the First World War in Ireland, and the role of graphic art and popular imagery in promoting support for it.
Order and Revolution
- 27 June 2014 — 26 April 2015 *on now
This display highlights the period between 1740 and 1840, which is generally considered a 'golden age' in British and Irish art.
Some of the finest portraits in the Ulster Museum collection, by Reynolds and Gainsborough, are shown with landscape painting, sculpture and furniture, to illustrate the order and formal elegance of the period. After 1750, a new and restless spirit, now termed Romanticism, started to appear in European art and literature. It became fashionable to admire the wildness and untamed quality of nature. By the early 1800s artists such as Lawrence and Turner had evolved a revolutionary manner of painting based on their individual response to nature.
New Art New Nature
- 10 October 2014 — 28 June 2015 *on now
This exhibition, largely drawn from the Ulster Museum collection, looks at the role of nature in the work of Irish and International artists over the past seventy years.
The display begins with the Oceania textiles (1946) made by Matisse at the end of his career, when illness prevented him from painting. The 'cut-out' forms are designed to give a sense of the limitless freedom, lightness and space he had experienced when swimming in the South Seas in 1930. Matisse referred to 'the irrepressibility of nature' and this theme was taken up by William Scott in The Four Seasons Mural, (1959-62) for Altnagelvin Hospital, in which he translated the cyclical rhythms of the seasons into a highly accomplished abstract composition.
Nature as a potent, even overpowering, force is alluded to in Segura (2010), a video installation by Willie Doherty made in the Murcia region of southern Spain. The exhibition closes with two new acquisitions by Tyrone artist William McKeown (1962-2011). Untitled (2008) (Art Fund Grant 2014) is a luminous, abstract evocation of the sense of joyousness the artist experienced when looking at a light drenched early morning sky. This poetic response and sense of reverie is also present in Waiting for the Corncrake (2008) a series of delicate, atmospheric watercolours presented to the Ulster Museum by the artist's estate in memory of William McKeown's important contribution to Irish art.
Uneasy Beauty
- 12 December 2014 — 26 April 2015 *on now
John Henry Fuseli was one of the most inventive and original figures in British Art and, throughout his career, used the process of drawing to explore his thoughts and private fantasies.
Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Fuseli settled in London in 1765, and became well known for his dramatic paintings of scenes from Milton and Shakespeare. Fuseli was an important figure in intellectual and literary circles and it is through his drawings, which were never intended for exhibition, that we gain insight into his fascination with this theatrical and emotionally charged world.
The drawings in this display were presented to the museum in 1896 by Francis Johnston, a local artist. They are some of Fuseli's finest drawings and watercolours and illustrate the complex, and sometimes erotic, workings of his imagination. They are mainly studies of women, some with the elaborate hairstyles associated with actresses and prostitutes; others are tender portraits of his wife, Sophia Rawlins. The final drawing, Pylades and Orestes, illustrates the visionary and heroic aspect of classical literature that Fuseli particularly admired.

After a lot of tests and trials, I've finally finished the WTC for my SCALE SHIPS AKULA II. First of all, forgive me for one thing: Although there's plenty of job to do so far, I've applied a coat of color (after one of coachbuilder primer) to the sub because she looks very much better tha in grey. The ballast system is with a 750 cc ENGEL piston tank. And of course is clearly insiperd in the thread by Ramesh. By the way thank you for your answers to my questiosn about.
After dry checks, made one complete test in water. Everything right at the begining, but leaks detected through the shaft seal and one of the rear plate nuts when started a cycle of ballasting and deballasting. Perhaps one of my mistakes was that to avoid the build up of pressure inside the WTC, closed it with the piston tank in the "ballasted" position.
Here you have some images of the WTC, the linkages of the rear planes, rudders and propeller and how the WTC sits inside the hull. Also a pic of the fore planes fittings, which are operated by the servo and manget mounted on the fore closing plate of the WTC. ALso in the fore plate is the "trigger" for switching on and off.
The WTC is closed with nuts, washers and o rings; o rings are also mounted between the tube and the closure plates. It's fitted with ADC (linked to the fore planes) and APC (with the rear planes). ENGEL piston tank has a safety system which blows the tank in case of signal lost.
I have no lathe, and the plates for the WTC were made from a plank of PVC, rounded using a drill and tested for fitting inside the tube. The "quality" of the results are clearly visible so, please be indulgent.
Regards from Madrid


text: User space and low FPS, hmmm, nothing to do with it. If a game has native openGL then its fast, otherwise HLSL bytecode to GLSL translation cuts FPS to half. Still Wine's new llvm_shader_compiler will make it up, without the need for any Microsoft D3D libraries. For instabilities and random half a second freezes install a low latency kernel. No problems with updates Wine's or games. Even Ncsoft launcher, even Tera launcher works now with Wine_mono for 10+ Wine versions now, even if some bastards at WineDB say that doesn't work and they suggest Dotnet. As for various DRMs, yes that's the real problem, so drop DRMs.

This A+ list mostly movie actor and an Academy Award winner said he once dumped this gorgeous B- list mostly movie actress because the first time he went to her place she rolled out two big nitrous tanks and said she really wanted to have fun.
@Fancy: Cartoon voices are from helium. Nitrous gives a very deep voice, like when Howard Stern used to do Bob & Ray.
@Harry: Whipped cream chargers are available at most gourmet kitchen stores, sex shops and head shops. Last time I bought em in a porn store, they were 24/$24.99. I prefer ISI to the EZ-WHIP.
Gourmet whipped cream bottles are usually $40-60. You have to clean them out from time to time, because the rapid temperature change will damage the rubber seal, and the inside of the bottle will get a light coating of the rubber particles.
I once had a party where I bought a full case of nitrous chargers from a head shop. 600 chargers for $300 bucks. I sold about 500 of them at the party, 12/$10. Lawn was littered with the things the next morning. During the party every once in a while someone would F up and throw a full charger in the bon fire. Thank Gawd no one got hit w/ the shrapnel.
That night I also rolled up a doobie out of shake and bong scrapings that weighed about 3/4 of an ounce. Fun night
Oh Gawd ((smacks forehead)) yeah. HELIUM and nitrous are different. The word tank made me think helium. We actually have a friend whose ex was into some sort of TANK high. Probably was nitrous but I always assumed helium for some odd reason.
U feel dumb …
ReplyCancel@AisleM: Yes. There were guys in my circle of friends who would occasionally get a NOX car tank filled w/o the additive and bring it to parties. $10 all you can breathe.
A couple buddies were in line to get balloons at a concert when there was a "COPS!" false alarm yelled out. The watched where the guys stashed the tank, and scummed it when the guys split. They drove around partying and giving out balloons for 2 days until the tank was empty.
@Sherry: The cool parties were 10+ years ago. You can throw a heck of a party when 4 dudes are renting a farm house on 50acres. The 3 oz of mushrooms party was my favorite. Like 20-25 people running around the woods tripping face. One dude bugged out and sat on the roof of the garage (flat roof) in a lawn chair for about 3 hours.
@Disco: I had a dentist cut me off. "If it is taking a while to take affect, then take deep breaths." I didn't let my first breath out for almost a minute, and she never gave me gas again When I did that w/ the last dentist I went to, he just smiled.
ReplyCancel@Harry: Everyone brought their own beer, so I tried to mix it up w/ fried turkey or out of the norm drugs. None of the other guys would pitch in to help cover the nut, so we never had a Beetlejuice and Strippers party. His home town is like 20 minutes away, so I had a reduced price negotiated.
ReplyCancel@alita: I never noticed that. If it did, i'm sure i'd keep some w/ my rubbers and babywipes. If anything the nitrous would keep a guy from cumming, due to the numbing affect.
Chicks and gay dudes shouldn't do nitrous to make anal entry more tolerable. If you take some damage back there, you wanna be able to feel it and stop before it gets bad. No one wants to wind up in the ER to get stitches in their butt.
ReplyCancel@Alita: OK. Next time I pass the porn shop, I'll get some chargers and report back on any changes in my hard on. If the experiment requires female involvement, can I expect to be reimbursed?
I have heard Amyl heightens an orgasm, but I don't like the stuff.
As far as anal relaxation, I believe oxygen deprivation of any sort with accomplish that. I saw a porn scene where the chick was having a hard time accepting the cock in her tush, so the dude calmly choked her and slowly pressed into her. About the 3rd or 4th time, he was all the way in. I don't recommend choking and breath play.

Honda announces new V4 adventure sports tourer - the Crosstourer
Article Summary
Honda has confirmed that the Crosstourer concept shown at the 2010 EICMA show in Milan will go into mass production. The Crosstourer uses the V4 engine from the VFR1200F, plus long travel suspension, a more upright riding position plus the option of a Dual Clutch Transmission. Clearly Honda is aiming the Crosstourer at the adventure marketplace currently dominated by BMW's R1200GS and populated by the likes of Yamaha's XT1200Z Super Tenere, Ducati's Multistrada, Triumph's Tiger and Suzuki's V-Strom. Just where the bike is positioned in the road-dirt mix with its 1200cc V4 engine is hard to determine just yet.

Lips need moisturizing? I never use anything, and I run 50 miles a week, outdoors, even in winter.
The CO Bigelow overnight recovery balm is great. It means I don't carry around a tube that I forget I have and then wash with my clothes.
Mint flavored Chapstick is the best.
Whale lard
Chicken Poop....seriously... http://www.ilovechickenpoop.com/ (no chicken poop is in the product...but it's good shi....)
Blistex - Lip Medex soothing
Kiehl's Facial Fuel.
I've used them all, and my current favorite is The Naked Bee lip balm. Orange blossom honey flavor and SPF 15. Mostly organic ingredients. Love it!
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 with Natural Mint & Shea Butter. Best stuff ever!
I only use it when my lips are chapped, but Kisstixx is fantastic! They come in two packs with great flavors. I have strawberry daiquiri and pina colada. When you kiss someone wearing one of the flavors, they make a new flavor. ;) Best of all, it works really good. I use it whenever I feel my lips starting to get chapped. It repairs them, and I don't have to wear it all the time.
kisstixx You wear one, your partner wears the other...! Boom! Even if I'm alone, I wear it because the flavor reminds me of her :D
atx85 wrote:Here's an interesting story: A few years ago my lips were very chapped. I started using Carmex every night before bed. I continued that habit after the cold season since I enjoyed having such smooth lips. Jump ahead to today: apparently my body no longer produces whatever it's called that keeps my lips soft/smooth. If I miss 1 day of not applying Carmex before bed, by the time I wake up, my lips are already beginning to become chapped. If I skip two days, forget it, it's terrible (doesn't matter the time of year). I'm sure I could stop using it and get my body back to normal, however, it's such a pain in the ass because I literally have to go nearly two or three weeks with horribly chapped lips.
Just switch to something else without menthol in it. I got off Carmex years ago by switching to Aveeno. Now about my other drug habits...
I have been using Smith's Rosebud Salve (original) for years. It is the only product that helps my all-year-round chapped lips. Note: I am allergic to everything known to man -- this is gentle, light and effective.
This Swedish stuff I found at Walmart called LypSyl. It's made with beeswax and just enough mint. It's surprisingly good!
I prefer Neosporin Lip Therapy.
as a child i learned (my parents werent the spenders) that buying something you dont need is stupid. i've gone my whole life just licking my lips as needed. it's sexy too. it works even when skying, horsebackriding, swimming, all the same activities as on the cotex commercials. who could ask for more then that?
Chapstick - Peppermint with Vanilla OR Chapstick - Spearmint OR Chapstick - Strawberry Depending on my mood. I don't like cherry flavor though. It reminds me of medicine.
all of those "moisturizers" contain drying agents that actually make your lips MORE dry and thus you continue to use them. I use bacon fat!
never use the stuff
Vaseline in the tube
If man were intended to rub oil on his lips, we would have glands there to provide it.
Savannah Bee's Mint Julep Beeswax Lip Balm
just let them rot off...
In public: Chapstick (Medicated) At home: Mentholatum (too greasy/shiny to wear out)
Chapstick- Green Apple!
Whatever the pretty girl at the end of the bar already has on her lips.
Organic Hemp lip balm!
I was a Burt's Bees fanatic for years but suddenly developed a bad allergy to it. Puffy red swollen itchy lips are not hot. Switched to Nivea since and haven't had a problem. Still not sure what the exact ingredient is that's the culprit.
It used to be Bonne Belle Cosmic chocolate-mint, but they apparently stopped making it. So now it's Zum Kiss Stick Cinnamon-Orange
Coconut Oil
Straight Neosporin, (you get used to the taste but try not to use it internally) I take the risk because it helps prevent empetigo outbreaks
Lanolin like this one offered at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lanolin-Anhydrous-Pharmaceutical-Grade/dp/B000V70MWS/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1359665058&sr=1-4&keywords=lanolin+lip+balm
I guess if there was a pointless poll this would rank in the top five but if you need to know what lip moisturizer to get this probably would be in the top five. I found a moisturizer that works really fast, less than 24 hours, it is called "chicken poop". It is not the real thing but whatever is in it works great.
Sun Shades vanilla bean flavor -known at our house as LIPS
Only need it once or twice a winter, but I like Vaseline Lip Therapy. Put it on at night and usually by morning all's well.
Ok I actually use 3 of the listed items. They all server a separate but noble cause. In the winter when use is heavy I use Blistex. By far the best at keeping lips from getting chapped, and repairing chapped lips. It's main flaw is that it melts a high temperatures. I keep one in the breast pocket of all my jackets and one in my car during the winter. Chap-stick (limited edition Cherry) is used when my car can get hot in the transition months and during the summer. It is much less prone to melting. Finally Bert's Bees. It is basically just an oily wax. It doesn't have medication that helps prevent chapped lips. But your body will stop trying to keep your lips moisturized if you continually apply chapstick. So after winter is ending I switch everything to Bert's Bees to wean myself off of Blistex. And I call all of them chapstick! I also got a generic stick from Arapahoe Basin ski resort a few years back. Whatever that is, is great. Stays in my ski jacket.
Softlips (strawberry or mint or vanilla) (oh or raspberry)
RWoodward wrote:If man were intended to rub oil on his lips, we would have glands there to provide it.
If man enjoyed having cracked and bleeding lips that are so painful you don't want to talk, smile or eat, then we would not rub oil on our lips.

"I am in love with our Save The Dates. The image and paper quality is flawless. The design in simple and classic. Choosing and editing images was so easy! This layout allowed us to use multiple pictures from our engagement shoot, which was perfect because we couldn't pick just one!! Our family and friends were shocked that we designed them ourselves and wanted to know what website we used. They were amazed by the quality and even more amazed when we shared the price!"
"I love this design it is perfect for a destination wedding which we are doing and it matches my photos perfectly. They make it so easy to put your photos in and change the color of the cards! All in all amazing I just wish the delivery would have been a little faster."
"I had such a great experience with this! I found a designed that was unique and I loved! I designed it and then the designer was in touch with me in 2 days and I had several different things that I changed with color and what not and the response was very quick. I made 4 changes before it was how I pictured it! and It was quick and easy and it turned out exactly what I wanted with color and pictures. I did not like the yellow they had advertised on the website and I asked the designer to make it brighter and it was done! I was very happy. Definitely use this site!"
"I ordered the 6.18 x 4.56, signature matte, winterberry (color) save the dates and I have nothing but amazing things to say about how perfect my save the dates came out and how easy it was to personalize. I used 7 pictures(!), 4 front + 3 back, and it took me a long time to pick out the photos and arrange them to perfection (because I am so OCD) but the site makes everything super easy. I had to call because some pictures kept moving when I went to finalize the order and I wanted to remove the heart on the back of the card and just have it all black. The customer service at wedding paper divas was amazing! The Rep was so nice and took care of everything for me. They really can customize each card however you want it! I was nervous about the actual quality of the printed product but, when I opened the package yesterday, I could not have been more happy! Pictures are clear, font is beautiful, color is perfect, overall the save the dates (and wedding paper divas) are absolutely amazing!"
"I knew that I would be nervous creating our save the dates. There are so many websites and so many templates. We had four specific pictures that we wanted to use, and that was hard to fit in the specific templates wedding paper divas offered. That's the only reason I gave three stars for design. I wish I could have switched up the pictures, sizes etc. That being said, the designer helped with a lot of other different aspects. We didn't want the post card to say "Save the Date" so they re-worded that, and a few other things. That process was quick and very easy. Also, the paper quality for the standard paper is amazing. A really beautiful card stock. That was our biggest concern when ordering without being able to see the paper quality first, but we were not disappointed. I would recommend this product and website to anyone. Happy designing!"

Every morning, about 15 minutes after I started the computer I experience a freeze of Icewesael and/or Icedove. I can still switch to other applications. At the same time there is a lot of disk writing. After two or three minutes the applications 'unlock' and the freeze is over.
But, sometimes matters get worse and my Gnome3 desktop also freezes at the same time. In that case a Crtl+Alt+Backspace is the only option left.
I can't really pinpoint the problem, but maybe it has to do with (ana)cron rotating the logs. I'm still trying to figure that out. I added 'nice -19' to /etc/cron.daily/logrotate but that doesn't fix the problem. So it does seem to be a problem with heavy disk writes freezing some applications, and not with limited processor power.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem, or does anyone have a solution?
I'm running LMDE with UP6.

With trade winds swirling, Norris set to face A's
After Tuesday's walk-off, Houston sends righty to hill vs. Griffin
After going 0-10 against the A's to start the season, the Astros finally came away with a 5-4 win over their new American League West opponents on Tuesday at Minute Maid Park. On Wednesday -- with that monkey off their back -- they'll look to win back-to-back games for the first time since mid-June in the series finale against Oakland.
To do so, manager Bo Porter turns to a pitcher who might be wearing a different uniform by the time he makes his next start.
Bud Norris' name has been popular in trade talks for the entire season, and even more so as the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches. With that, Wednesday could mark Norris' last start as an Astro, but Porter is more focused on the present than the future.
"It's not something that plays into my mind," said Porter, who keeps in contact with general manager Jeff Luhnow on the matter of trades. "I've had a sit down with Bud, and I've said to him to not let it play into his mind. It's tough for some guys to hear their name rumored to be going this place and that place. I told him, 'You control the things you can control.'"
The focus for Norris, who will be countered by A's starter A.J. Griffin, will be improving upon his previous two starts, in which he went 0-2 with a 10.97 ERA, allowing 17 hits in 10 2/3 innings. Most recently, Norris went 5 2/3 innings against the Mariners on Friday, giving up six runs on six hits and four walks along the way.
He'll also look to perform better than his last tango with the A's on April 17 in Oakland, where he surrendered six runs and five hits while walking three in just two-thirds of an inning.
Unlike that start, Norris likely will have to face Home Run Derby winner Yoenis Cespedes, who missed the April 17 contest while on the disabled list with a strained muscle in his left hand. Cespedes hasn't started since the All-Star break as he battles a sore left wrist, but he had a double off the bench on Tuesday.
Oakland is 49-29 with Cespedes in the lineup this season while going just 9-13 when he doesn't start.
Athletics: Griffin seeks ninth win
Much like his counterpart, Griffin will hope for better results on Wednesday than when he last took the mound. In five innings against the Angels on Friday, Griffin allowed four runs and six hits, walking one and striking out four.
Griffin gave up three home runs for the second time this season in the loss, which brought his record to 8-7.
"I gave up three home runs, but I felt I was executing pitches pretty well," Griffin said. "It was just not our day."
The other start in which Griffin surrendered three homers came in Houston on May 25, when the Astros posted long balls and five hits while drawing a walk and striking out seven times in 5 2/3 innings against the 25-year-old right-hander. Fortunately for Griffin, he was helped out by an offense that attacked Houston pitching for 18 hits in an 11-5 win.
Wednesday will mark Griffin's third start against the Astros this season, as he took a no-decision on April 16 after giving up just two runs and striking out eight in six innings of work.
Astros: Villar bringing speed to lineup
In the second game of his Major League career, Jonathan Villar made his presence known on Tuesday by going 3-for-4 in the Astros' walk-off win. Villar led off the game with a double, later scored on a Jason Castro single and scored the game-winning run from second base on a botched pickoff attempt in the ninth. That game-changing hustle provided a perfect example for why Porter likes the speedy shortstop at the top of the lineup.
"The goal is to try to get Villar as many at-bats as we possibly can between now and the end of the season," Porter said. "He possesses the skill sets you look for in a leadoff hitter. He's not afraid to hit with two strikes, he can play the short game, he's a run-producer and he can drive in runs."
Villar previously showcased his speed with Triple-A Oklahoma City, swiping 31 bases to go with 16 doubles and eight triples in 90 games. Combined with Jose Altuve, who stole his 23rd base of the season on Tuesday, Porter likes his current 1-2 punch at the top.
"The more guys you have in your everyday lineup that can steal bases or go first to third, it puts more pressure on the defense," Porter said. "It seems as you start to look around and have Villar and Altuve and [Brandon] Barnes and [Justin] Maxwell, you have some guys that push the envelope and put pressure on opposing pitchers."
Worth noting

Hi Bob,
OK, the log-in process seems to be working now. Yes, it took getting both logs straightened out: one for the website, and one for the message board. Thanks for your efforts, and those of you having troubles logging on might ask Bob. I did and he went above and beyond to help me out.
Now if we could re-activate the now-dead link to my NAUTILUS MINISUB page in the photo gallery......?
From here, I'm going to try to add a link to VSC at the SC Links page.
Have a good one!

Present Music's performance of 'Inuksuit' doesn't disappoint
Present Music opened the new concert season on Saturday afternoon with 99 musicians tucked in among the sculptures of the 40-acre Lynden Sculpture Garden for a performance of John Luther Adams' "Inuksuit."
The bevy of percussionists and wind players used everything from temple gongs, drums, cymbals, conch shells and rocks to water sticks, whirly tubes, piccolos and several hand-cranked sirens over the 80-minute (or so) piece, written in 2009. »Read Full Article

'Spamalot' an uneven quest for Milwaukee's Theatre Unchained
Find Christ's drinking cup from the Last Supper? No problem. Splice a loving homage to Monty Python's low-tech antics with a sendup of Broadway's overblown extravaganzas? For "Spamalot" creators Eric Idle (book, lyrics and music) and John Du Prez (music), that might be the impossible dream.
Or so I found myself thinking Friday night, after emerging from yet another date with the frequently performed "Spamalot." Less than three years after a so-so production in the Milwaukee Theatre, this latest version arrives in town courtesy of Theatre Unchained — formerly Carte Blanche Studios Theatre — under John Baiocchi's direction. »Read Full Article

Comments about CamelBak UnBottle Hydration Bladder:
Guess what folks..Here's a use not many of you thought of..I just went on a cruise where they charge ridiculous charges for drinks on board. I purchased 2- 100 oz Camelback Bladders and put Long Island Iced Tea in one and Vodka and Cranberry in the other. I put them in with my clothes on checked in luggage and enjoyed drinks for 8 days in my cabin free where my friends had $500-$900 in liquor bills at the end of the cruise!! An amazing savings!
I also will plan on using my Camelpaks for water hydration too next summer! hehe

MADISON, WISCONSIN -- If Ur interested in this bedroom (Porter) set don't buy from Ashley store. At A-1 furniture they have the same set and I was able to get it for 1000 dollars less!!
And they had the set in stock so we got it the next day. They also treated me Soooo much nicer and better. No games from the sales people. The guy quoted me 2499 after
I asked what is the best deal he could do for me. Later I realized that it even included tax, so I didn't have to pay extra (even though, I was set to pay the tax)
Originally I went to the Ashley Homestore on the east side and fell in love with this bed set, the sales girl there after asking her to get a price quote came back with a price of 3700 dollars. Which didn't add up when you crunch the individual numbers so I asked her to break it down. They have tagged along a protection plan fee( 10% of purchase) taxes and delivery because she had asked if I wanted delivery done by the way the delivery charge was 150 dollars!! Way more than any local furniture stores around here. A-1 is charging me 40 bucks!
After I told the manager I was only interested in the bedroom price not the added fees he got really condescending to me and laughed at my face! I am usually kind and appreciative that these people are only trying to make a living but this manager at Ashley made me feel like I was there to ask for his service and business not the other way around. Like well if you don't like my price go somewhere else. I should add that as part of his horrid and deceitful tactics he told me that this bedroom set was an "EXCLUSIVE" Ashley piece sold only at Ashley Stores. That's why I left the store feeling very upset and sad cause my pride and sense of dignity was torn. I didn't bother to look after that for a bed set. never ever want to step foot in a Ashley Store again!
But things were meant to be, because I happen to go into A-1 for a quick glance at a mattress for my son and there was my beloved bed set. A part of me still feels guilty because it is a Ashley Piece. Also imagine the surprised of the sales man at A-1 when I told him the sales manager at Ashley told me it was exclusive and not sold anywhere else.
Ashley store employees must have gone through very rigorous training to deceive, lie and try to steal from customers any way they can!!
UTAH, UTAH -- I purchased the Ashley Northshore Bedroom set. When it arrived the sides of the furniture had gaps large enough to put a gold dollar through. The side of the headboard was coming off and I could see the wood dowel due to the 1/2" gap. They sent a technician out who said that the furniture met specifications! I went to every store in Utah and looked at the bedroom set on the showroom floor. None of them had any gaps anywhere.
I have taken pictures and argued with customer support who is backing the technician and they will not do anything. So now I have a bedroom set that I paid several thousand dollars for that is falling apart. The technician also told me that Ashley manufactures most of their stuff overseas in the Asian countries. They keep a few small plants in the USA for promotional reasons. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from Ashley Furniture! If you don't get lucky and get a decent piece of furniture then you will get royally screwed.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased a bedroom set from Ashley Furniture Fountain Valley. I received my delivery confirmation between the hours of 1:15-5:15. I received a call at 5:45 they were on their way in about a half hour. A half hour goes by another phone call they are on their way they will be there in 15 mins. Still no delivery. I called the Manager at Ashley Fountain Valley they continued to apologize. The truck had broken down that morning I did not get a call until 5:45 stating the deliveries were behind due to the truck breaking down. Once they got here at 7:30 they unloaded the furniture and the dresser was last. I inspected all the furniture and once I got to the dresser a large hole in the back pieces of wood chipped off the leg. I called the manager and told them I would be rejecting this. PEOPLE read your terms and conditions if there is damage to the furniture you ARE TO REJECT THE DELIVERY. I was told they would send someone out to fix the dresser and of course I believed them now I'm having customer service tell me that I was to reject the delivery if there was any damage. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE EMPLOYEES DELIVERING THE FURNITURE THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT SOMEONE CAN COME OUT AND FIX THE FURNITURE NOT TRUE. I do have someone coming out on Tuesday to inspect and fix the dresser but they could not guarantee it can be fixed and will have to decide what can be done to rectify this situation. This was a very bad situation of a dream for a beautiful bedroom set and it has been destroyed because of lies. PLEASE THINK TWICE ABOUT ASHLEY FURNITURE. People that have had a good experience thumbs up to you but I have never been through such a night mare
EVANSVILLE, INDIANA -- I was in need of a bedroom suite. Went to Ashley's after going to every store I had access too. Was immediately greeted by associate which was good. I kind of felt like she was following me but that's okay she wanted the sell. Found a set by the name of SHAY. The base price was $897 for bed, rails, mirror and dresser. I requested a nightstand which was $134.91. By the time she got all the calculations the total was 1377. WHAT?? Then she stated I would not receive it for another 3 to 4 weeks!! I asked her what were the dimensions and this is where the customer service went down hill for me...she said it's on the website. Really? I asked a live sales representative and she referred me to a computer. I kindly said I will do that. First mistake, never let your customer leave so they can check a computer. I could have easily checked in the store but she could have too..SALE LOST.
I went to another store that sold the very set and purchased the bed, mirror, dresser, chest and nightstand for 779.61. You lose again ASHLEY. Please get out of the furniture industry you are no good at it from the reviews.
VIRGINIA -- Ashley stores are independently owned. As such, they do not allow online orders. So when we (living on the west coast)wanted to purchase bedroom furniture for our Grandkids in VA, we called the Woodbridge store to ask for help. We merely wanted a price so we could deposit the amount into our daughter's account so she could go to the store and purchase the furniture. The staff at the Woodbridge store was very curt and rude on the phone, and wouldn't even give us a price RANGE!! We had seen the items in our local store so had an idea, but wanted to know what the items would cost her when she went to purchase them.
After the unbelievably snide tone of the salesperson in Woodridge, we decided to try the Manassas store. A sales person there took the item numbers from us and gave us a price, including delivery and assembly. We thought all was well. We had his name and had our daughter contact him directly when she went to purchase the furniture after we had deposited the money into her account. But when she got to the store, he was oblivious to our discussion and tried to charge her over $300 more.
She called us from the store and we talked with the salesperson directly again, and he didn't say the price had changed in the 2 days' interim, he just denied the whole conversation! We altered our order, resulting in a loss in sales to him and the store of over $600, only committing to one item since we could not find it anywhere else and wanted it delivered for a birthday.
We visited our daughter shortly after all this and she related more details about snotty comments made in the store about military personnel 'having lots of money,' 'not knowing what they are talking about', etc. We were livid!! We are retired military ourselves, and this store is just outside a military base. We can only urge all military to shop elsewhere for their furniture, perhaps with a company who respects the sacrifices of military families, is aware of their limited budgets, and who honors their word of their salespeople! DON'T GIVE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO DISRESPECT YOU SO MUCH!!

Attention: [name removed]
Thank you for your letter dated April.22.2007 and the $100.00 gift certificate. While we consider your certificate and promise of the delivery refund generous, we are dissatisfied with your company.
To date, May.02.2007, we have only received the chest of drawers and a headboard that sits on our floor without a footboard. The remaining items of our 9 piece bedroom suite that were ordered and fully paid for on March.18.2007 have yet to arrive. We were verbally assured at the time of sale that the furniture would arrive in 28 days. No one in your store has any idea when or if the shipment will arrive.
Instead we are fed endless excuses, "Maybe it's back ordered", "It could be stuck in customs",
"Maybe it's on it's way, we can't track anything". We had reservations about dealing with an American company and it seems we were right to do so. Consumers are warned every day about potentially fraudulent companies that demand full payment in advance with a promise of products or services to be delivered at a later date.
Enclosed is the $100.00 gift certificate. Please apply this and the delivery charge as a credit towards our overall cost for the furniture.
We will not be shopping at your store.

MESQUITE, TEXAS -- On May 14, 2010, we purchased a complete bedroom suit (which included a queen bed with canopy posters and rails, a dresser, chest, media chest, two nightstands and a bench) along with some den furniture. The bedroom suit was the last to be delivered on July 30, 2010, some 10 weeks after we purchased it. During the intervening time no one from Ashley called to keep us up to date on the delivery problems they were having with these items. The dresser is a large one with 7 good-sized drawers. Of these 7 drawers four were slanted, as if the unit were sagging in the middle. Also, some of them were in crooked so that the drawer face would not close flat against the dresser front. We immediately called customer service about this and some additional problems with the nightstands and the chest. On August 6th a tech came out to examine the furniture and was polite and friendly. He said that the dresser would be replaced, the nightstands were missing some parts and the drawers not closing properly on the chest were the result of "the ease with which the sliders work". It took two "replacement" dressers to get an acceptable one (the first replacement had a lot of finish blemishes). The repair parts were ordered (and immediately went on back-order status, but we were not aware of this). In the meantime we had begun examining the furniture more closely and each piece had multiple issues. Most of these issues were fit and/or finish items. We waited for the parts to arrive and after 2 weeks (on August 20th) we called to check on the part status. This is when we found out that they were on back-order. We decided on August 23rd to make customer service aware of the rest of the problems via a phone call and not to wait for the parts to be installed. This was followed up on the 24th with an email to customer service about all our problems, including an attachment that gave specific complaints about the late delivery and the bad furniture. We never received a response to either communication. Then on September 16th we decided to visit the store where we had made our purchase in person to see the customer service representative. We talked to that person for a long time and left copies of photos of the problems on the furniture as well as copies of the email and the attachment we had sent in. We also requested an immediate call-back from someone higher up in the management chain. On the 17th, after receiving no phone call, we called the store and demanded to speak with someone who might get this situation off dead center. Later on the 17th we finally received an email from a manager at the store wanting to send another tech out to look things over. It took a little over a week to get our schedules to match up but September 28th was set for the visit. Nobody showed and we have not had any one call concerning this. We did get a call about the same time telling us that the parts were being shipped to our home. They arrived on the 28th. As I write this on October the 8th, the tech is scheduled to visit today but he will only be dealing with the installation of the parts we received. So, now what? Here it is the 8th of October, one hundred sixteen days after our purchase (and this purchase represents a lot of money to us) and we are still fighting this crazy fight. If we had known that this purchase was going to be this extended and bizarre, we never would have gone through the doors of Ashley Furniture. As it is, we will never shop there again. Potential buyers: beware. Check other posts about Ashley.
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA -- My husband & I ordered the Porter bedroom suite from the Ashley Furniture store in Huntsville, AL on March 27, 2010 and guess what....we still have not received it!!! We paid cash on the day we ordered it and were told it would be about 4 weeks until it was delivered. We were OK with that as we wanted to paint the bedroom and that would give me time to pick out the bedding.... The estimated date of delivery on our paper work was May 11, 2010. As that day approached we had not heard from anyone at Ashley so I called them at the first of May and was told it was still on back order and it would be sometime in July before it was delivered!!! If they knew it was going to be that long they should have called us!! When I asked about a refund they said they did not know if we would get 100% refund or how long it would take to get a refund!! So we decided to wait it out as we hated to cancel and start the process of shopping for a bedroom suite all over again!
So another month or so goes by and we still have not heard from them (They have not called us the whole time. If we wanted to know the status of our PAID IN FULL furniture, we had to call them - and set on hold for a half hour each time!!) So, once again, I call them on 6/25 and was told it would be delivered on July 8th, 9th ot 10th and someone would give me a call to set up a time. Due to my husband and I both having jobs we needed to know in advance so we could schedule to be here when the furniture came - not unheard of I assume!! So on 7/5 I call to see if we can get a confirmed date of delivery and am told they do not know when our bed will even be made!! What? Are you kidding me? We were told on 6/25 it was to be delivered this week and now you're telling me the bed has not been built?? Is this a joke?? I asked to speak to a manager as this was unacceptable. I was put on hold for 36 minutes and then I was hung up on!! I was finally able to make contact with the Office Manager who told me she could not help and that the Store Manager was off and would be back tomorrow. I left him a real nice voicemail. Just waiting now to see if he will call me back....I doubt it! But I will call him everyday this week and if I do not hear some good news this week I will be taking the hour drive to Huntsville to talk face to face!!
CATONSVILLE, MARYLAND -- This company is deplorable. We bought a bedroom set for our son and his fiance as a wedding gift. When we bought it we were told it was an ensemble, queen headboard, foot board, rails, chest, dresser and nightstand. I signed the paperwork when purchased and handed it to my son...that was MY mistake. I didn't read the purchase paper work. the sales person never included the nightstand. The first nightmare occurred regarding delivery. keep in mind they charge an outrageous delivery charge of $120!!! We specifically, over and over in the store told them that he was a teacher and the product could NOT be delivered during the day but had to be delivered after 4 PM. Oh we were assured that would happen. Well they attempted delivery with 15 minutes notice at 2 PM. Of course, they were not home. Ashley tried to hit them with a delivery charge. my son fought it and the furniture was delivered THREE weeks later! Customer Service FAILURE 101!!! Then the furniture is delivered with no night stand and we begin round two with them. I call around to Ashley in Florida with the sku number of the complete ensemble. Price in FL is cheaper then what we paid for the set without the night stand. Then I call the store and inquire what the cost would be and the price quoted is $13 more than what we paid. I write a letter and they reply to my son stating...are you ready..."well we will give you the nightstand but we will NOT make any of the repairs to the furniture we delivered that had nicks on it and two of the drawers don't seat". So they nick the furniture in delivery, deliver a product that is defective and then not stand behind it. PLEASE do yourself a favor RUN AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS, BAIT AND SWITCH. I am so sorry I ever took the kids there. I thought "made in America" it's got to be good stuff!!! How wrong could I have been.

Poseidon has over a half-century of experience in designing and delivering the newest, most high-quality scuba diving gear in the field. From top-of-the-line rebreathers and regulators to buoyancy compensators, gauges, and masks, when it comes to the water, you can't beat Poseidon. See more
The Poseidon company was founded in 1958 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by Dennis Österlund and Ingvar Elvström. It was the first in the world to produce a single hose regulator, the breathing apparatus used by nearly every recreational diver ever since. The original name – Aqua Sports – was changed as the company began to look at new markets for its products.
Today, Poseidon exports to almost every country in the world, bringing the ultimate in diving gear to demanding recreational divers, rescue divers and the military. Manufacturing and research have taken place at the company's modern factory and test facility on the outskirts of Gothenburg since the mid-80s.
The last few years have marked the latest chapter of the Poseidon story, with new owners, new investment, and the decision to develop a new generation of diving apparatus.
Poseidon has a record of innovation stretching over more than 50 years. Today's product range includes world-beating regulators, drysuits, rebreathers, buoyancy compensators, and a host of add-ons and accessories. But whether it's developing products, creating software, or supporting training programs, at the end of the day, Poseidon stands for just three things. Quality, safety, and performance. See less

Work has been slow the last few days, and so I have been kinda thinking of the Walking Dead (also about the Dresden Files, but that's a totally different topic). And in my "Will Lee Die at the End" thread a poster mentioned what it might be like if George R.R. Martin was writing the story. You figure you'd have gobs of sex, incest, complete and total brutality towards your favorite characters (Clem, at least, would probably lose a toe minimum). You know that sort of thing.
But what about other crossovers?
What would you see happening if Indiana Jones was in The Walking Dead universe? Or Wolverine?
What about if The Walking Dead existed within the Mortal Kombat universe? Back to the Future...Marty McFly plants his Delorian in the Walking Dead version of Hill Valley...only to see that this very near future (changed by Biff no doubt) has suddenly been horrifically altered to have the Walking Dead.
Lots of fun things to play with here. ^^
