During my high-school and community-college years in western Michigan, I sold firewood to supplement my meager income from on-again, off-again construction work. I'd follow in the wake of commercial logging operations, sawing and splitting the unwanted hardwood "tops" that littered the forest after the saleable logs had been hauled away. I'd earn $95 a cord, delivered. It was hard work, which is why I had zero regrets when I left to attend graduate school. In a seemingly symbolic gesture, I traded my Husqvarna chainsaw for an '89 Ford Econoline that I used to flee my hometown for Montana.
Now I occasionally get nostalgic when I handle the gritty tools of my woodsman days. The sentiment came in mixed form when I picked up the four-pound felling ax designed by Best Made Company, an outfit based in, of all places, Manhattan. With nearly two dozen options for decoratively painted handles and a head forged by fourth-generation ax makers in North Carolina, Best Made's axes are intended as much for display as for use. On the one hand, I was insulted by the notion that such a tool would be built
for lookin' instead of choppin'.
But I soon discovered that this was the best-handling and most beautifully balanced ax that I had ever swung. And while I did consider hanging it over the fireplace, I opted instead for what any deskbound American would do: I walked outside and walloped a stump. And damn did it feel good to watch the chips fly.

Property type | condo |
Minimum Stay | 4 nights |
This Aspen's 1 bedroom, was fully remodeled in 2012 with hard wood floors, all new furnishings, granite countertops, and high end appliances. We are located
in a lovely neighborhood with spectacular views of
the Tetons. You can literally look through the telescope on the desk in the living room and see the people exiting the Tram at the top of Rendevous mountain, while sipping your morning coffee by the fire place. The Aspens at the Jackson Hole Racquet Club is only minutes from Teton Village Ski Resort, the town of Jackson, the entrance to Teton National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. We think it's the BEST LOCATION in Jackson Hole!
You are a short walk (three minutes) from the Aspen's Market / Wine & Spirits, Gourmet Coffee Shop, yoga, Teton Sports Club (they offer drop-in rates), and several restaurants. Fifty yards out our back door, across a charming bridge and creek, is a nice playground for kids. The Aspens has something for everyone of every age!
During ski season a shuttle stops a few yards from our front door each morning on the half hour and takes you to the foot of Teton Village Ski Resort. When you return enjoy all the amenities of home: cozy fire place, new flat screen TV, stereo system, Netflix access, fast WiFi, washer/dryer, and more. During Spring, Summer, and Fall we are minutes from great hiking, biking, and tubing;
or just take a stroll right outside the front door through the quiet neighborhood, taking in the sights of the mountains and wild flowers.
This is our home away from home, and we would love to share it with you!
Dan and Laurie
Laurie Kemp purchased this condo in 2012
Incredibly nice place, very close to Teton Village. Supermarket in waking distance from condo. I would highly recommend staying here for any type of vacation, but particularly for skiing/snowboarding at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

My best man now works out there, he transferred internally inside his bank which is the easiest way to do it. You'll need a work visa to do it, and the easiest way to get one of those is get sponsored by a company, again the easiest way for this is to transfer internally or to be pretty senior already and a desirable employee. Just apply to as many jobs as you can find out there, honestly. The only agencies I know have major presence there are Morgan McKinley (but that's finance only) and Michael Page. May be worth emailing your resume to Michael Page, they only do professional recruitment though and don't know about their video game development desk.
Travel there with trunk and man servant and demand to be billeted under her majesty's decree. I expect you can then proceed to find gainful employment with an export company, there are lists in the localised edition of The Times, I believe.
Fuck off... Jews are the original bankers, get your history straight, the Romans would not let the Jews buy property so they became morgage lenders. 1,000s of years of hard savings... Fair play Brecht.
thats my point man. romans did not allow them to buy them out so they found an other way to make profit. 1000s of years of figuring out how to fuck over the people who care more about life than about money*... very noble! *including the financing of the 3rd reich at the expense of their brethren i hate hypocrisy and they made the world all about hipocrisy.
What the fuck are you talking about? You are anti-semitic, what on earth has that got to do with here? 1) I'm not a banker 2) Finance doesn't only mean banking you complete moron, every business has a finance department 3) What was wrong with what I posted?
now i am antisemitic too! great! finance = banking = money fetishism = worse than murder you will get cancer if you continue down this path. just wait and see.
I don't work in banking, how difficult is that to understand? Also, finance = accounting, financial services = banking (as well as other things). If you're going to be a ***** at least be right about it.
Yes, you absolutely are. This thread is about getting a job in HK. Why derail it with racist, stereotyping insults?
i dont care fuckall about your (and your banker-financier-services friends) mumbojumbo bullshittin skills mate. you promote banks and EVERYTHING that has to do with lending on interest is more vile than me bashing in your face with an AIDS infested hammer if banks werent now taking over governments, getting land property and using the police, i wouldnt even be angry. cancer mate. you are sick and nature is gonna get rid of you.
Anyway, you will need a visa, as I said the easiest way is to transfer internally (which won't work here). Company will have to sponsor you, so you need to really stand out from the crowd or get very lucky. Let me ask my mate in HK if he knows of anything that may help you, I'll get back to you.
I work for a legal firm, not quite sure why you think I'm promoting banks Also, you're completely wrong about everything that has to do with lending on interest being vile. Without it, businesses couldn't expand at key times, people couldn't afford property etc etc etc. Not all lending is toxic, you fool.
hey mr croc, what brecht is saying is that if you are STOOOOPID not to work prostitute yourself for a BIG BIG company, you need to prove that you are an inoffensive castrated clown... even more, you have to get some luck (i.e. pay off a lot of people for the priviledge of working). with his help, calling his HK friends, i would change my destination mate, if i were you... if you care about your kidneys that is
you are promoting banks in this topic you fool! just look at your posts! you are all erect about corporations and banks! lending WITHOUT interest would also allow businesses to expand at key times and people to afford property... i lent VERY large sums of money to people i knew i can TRUST, just to HELP and i almost always got them back... BANKS make profit because nowdays only vile people have money, people who dont have anything else but MONEY (like values or humanity).
yes mate but for that he needs a loan... and when he cant repay it, brechts friends wont pat him on the shoulder and thank him for trying to do something for the good of civilization... no, they would try to transplant his brain and fart when they dont understand why the procedure didnt work :mad:
neeeed job, famwee hungwe, from pooor cuntwee, fascist government, powise beat me. All the people i know who've worked in Hong King say it's great, as long as you are ready to work for 12 hours a day and only get 4 days holiday a year or something. It's never appealed much to me.
By saying the easiest way to work in HK is to transfer internally in your company? It can be a 1 person company as long as it has an office in HK, doesn't have to be an MNC or a bank, just so happens that one person I know out there works for a bank. Yes but: a) Unfortunately we live in a capitalist society, until we have radical change companies are not going to lend for no gain b) Lending with interest can benefit all involved parties, the people lending can make money (good for the economy) and the people being lent to can do the same (good for the economy) Lending to those that can't afford it, or developing toxic financial products for short term gain is bad for everyone involved aside from the seller, but not all lending is like that. You can't group all financial services institutions (and departments, and strategies) together no more than you can group all electronics firms together. Your complete lack of understanding of these basic points lead is truly quite astounding, sounds like an 18 year old's logic tbh.

Do you want the computer that looses it's network connection to send you a message?
If it's a Windows System the Network Connection will pop up on the Task Bar beside the Clock that there is no Network Connection or that it's Limited.
if however you want the system to send a message over the LAN to tell you that it's no longer connected that's not going to happen because the moment it looses the LAN connection it looses all ability to send any data across the LAN.
If you've got the time to learn/configure it, I'd recommend Nagios. It's free/open source, can monitor pretty much anything you can imagine, will email/SMS/alarm when things go down and there's a nifty Firefox plugin available (Nagios Checker) which will pop up warnings on your desktop.

"Not with a bang, but a whimper. The end. Boom. Goodbye. That's it. That quick. Trust me, Nakor. Whining about dying doesn't help." You look up, pulling your bloodied hands away from your neck. He had slaughtered you, slit your throat open while you were sleeping. You'd had closed your eyes for a moment, just a moment. Just a moment and you're gone, your heart beat is silent. But you don't know wh--.
"Dammit, are you even listening to me?" The voice was yours, but something was off, different. Regardless of this fact, you feel him settle a freezing hand on your shoulder.
"Trust me, I'm you. I know how it feels, kid." The copy of you holds out his other hand, but unlike you, he seemed to have an air about him, and this of all things comforted you. You couldn't place it right then and there, but he reminded you of someone. His white eyes, though, were empty, lifeless.
This second of silence reminds you that you're gone, and no matter

917 "C" Street San Rafael, California 94901 (415) 457-4878 email@example.com
Mentor Artist Sophie Cooper writes about her work with first grade students at San Ramon elementary
This Spring I had the joy of collaborating with over 70 enthusiastic first-grade artists at San Ramon elementary school in Novato for a Ceramics and 3-Dimensional Sculpting residency. Tying into the first-grade curriculum on habitats, each student chose an animal and sculpted their animal out of clay and finally designed a diorama habitat for their clay creature to live within.
One class session was spent building paper playgrounds in preparation for creating the habitat dioramas. Students were given strips of colored paper, a few basic construction techniques and the invitation to create structures that they could explore and play on. The entire session was a flurry of excitement as students created the playgrounds of their wildest imaginations. A simple strip of paper became a slide, a ladder, a tunnel, a swing – anything they could think of. Walking around the room, I asked students how they would play on their structures and they eagerly explained how every line and shape could be interacted with, suddenly taking on a texture, a function and a purpose.
Imagination is a precious thing. It is a delicate quality and one that is not always nurtured or encouraged in our fast-paced, goal-driven society. Not unlike an animal of the wild, it requires a space where it can be, explore, nourish and express itself. The imagination cannot exist without a habitat. That day in the classroom, I began to realize that while the students' imagination was creating the physical playground, the colorful swooping lines of color became the space that invited the imagination out from hiding, a space for it to breathe and play and explore.
Students brought this same level of active imagination to every stage of the project, from sculpting and glazing their ceramic animals, to painting their backgrounds in oil pastels and watercolor and constructing the trees, grasses, mountains and caves for their animals to live within.
During my final discussion with one of the classes on the last day of the residency, I asked the students a basic but often elusive question: "What does it mean to be an artist?" One student raised her hand, sitting up onto her knees and bouncing enthusiastically. When I called on her, she spoke: "It's when you have your imagination and you just go with it."
I smiled, speechless and grateful for the wisdom of youth.
Mentor Artist Keith "K-Dub" Williams worked with young artists in Ms. Mankus's art classes at Marina Middle School in San Francisco to create unique, personal Snap-backs. Students learned to design, prep, and paint their custom hats in this six-week project.
"I like the whole hat because I created it myself. It is not the best hat at all, but I am quite proud." – Jennifer, grade 7
Step One: working on paper with colored pencils, Students design their message.
Students were asked: What is important to you? What do you want people to know about you?
"My design makes me feel calm and peaceful. It doesn't show any signs of sadness or anger. I guess it all screams HAPPY." – Valentin, grade 7 "What I like best about my work is that it says I love music." – Kelly, grade 8
"My design makes me feel calm and peaceful. It doesn't show any signs of sadness or anger. I guess it all screams HAPPY." – Valentin, grade 7
"What I like best about my work is that it says I love music." – Kelly, grade 8
Hat drawings were cut out, and self-portraits were added.
Next, Students chose a hat color and primed it with gesso to create a "canvas" for their message.
"I was thoughtful and careful when I painted the hat, keeping constantly in mind that my hands had to be very stable while holding the brush and cap." – Malia, grade 8
K-Dub with student trying on his primed hat.
And then students added COLOR: Lots and Lots of COLOR!
"Creating this hat was very fun. I think that this project was the best one yet. I felt that the hat was talking to me in colors." – Jonas, grade 7
Adding Fine details
"While I was painting, I kept thinking , will this hat come out as good as I planned? I was feeling determined because everyone was finishing their hats. What I like best about my hat is the mouth, because it too so long (to finish)." – Kai, grade 8
Ms. Mankus offering fine art advice
"I think we are really lucky because we get to create this artwork, because most people don't have the chance to." – Melissa, grade 8
Eacg design was so unique and personal
"(This project) took a long time, and I liked how if you mess up you can paint over (the mistake). I had a feeling I would fail, but then in the end it looked awesome." – Aidin, grade 6
Adding contrasting colors to Purple hat
The finished pieces are spectacular!
"The thing I like most about my hat is the nickname Mr. K-Dub wrote for me! (It's like an autograph with my nickname). I would like you to know…this is the best project we have done so far." – Winnie, grade 8
Collaboration and teamwork
Third graders at Willow Creek Academy have been working with Mentor Artist Suzanne Joyal to utilize visual arts to make their creative writing richer. We have been learning to look: how can you find every detail, and draw what your eye SEES, not what your mind REMEMBERS. Today we worked on observational drawing, both Gesture and Contour. The drawings of animals made from 3D sculptures were inspiring.
Last year I wrote a blog suggesting that students' behaviors should whenever possible be seen as an attempt to communicate. I encouraged my fellow teaching artists to:
1. Find the hidden messages in "behaviors" or "breakdowns"
Those of us that work with special needs students are very familiar with behaviors or breakdowns. Initially the crying, repetitive gestures and outbursts from these students may seem random, but they rarely are. These students have no way of saying "I don't like this song," or "The volume is too high." Ask yourself:
What activity preceded the outburst?
Has this happened before?
What did you or the classroom staff do that calmed the student?
When does this student seem most content?
Sometimes there are even messages in the sounds and words said while in the midst of a tantrum. One of my students "J" threw a tantrum in one of my classes, and after close listening, I realized that he was yelling, "e-i-e-i-o." He wanted to sing Old MacDonald but didn't have the vocabulary to express it. So we sang Old MacDonald and he was immediately calmed.
2. "Read" your audience.
A great many skills we develop as performers are transferable to teaching special needs students. One such skill is being able to "read" your audience. After a while we instinctively know when to slow down, speed up or drop a section completely. The same goes for working with students.
If you find your students engaged in a song, repeat it. This populations thrives on repetition, and those with language processing delays will have an opportunity to learn your material. On the other hand, if the class is losing focus or individuals are starting to show behaviors, find a quick stopping place and move on. It takes patience and flexibility to work with special needs kids, and sometimes no matter how wonderful your lesson plan is, you may have to make a quick change.
3. Your greatest resource: The classroom teacher
The special day class teachers are an amazing group of individuals who know their students extremely well. Ask them for advice and listen to them when they make suggestions.
This year I have been considering the difficult situation when I realize what a student is trying to communicate and I have to decide to honor the request or continue with the class. For instance, if a student breaks down in the middle of a song, is it best to stop the song or continue in the hopes that ignoring the behavior will not reinforce it. The simplest answer I have come up with is to look to the classroom teacher for advice, but I am realizing that being a teaching artist with the same children over several years and sometimes through several classrooms can help in this situation. We are in the unique situation of knowing students on a very deep level and can plan and react accordingly sometimes even surprising the classroom teachers. There was a specific instance where we were singing a song, and one fo the students was obviously not enjoying the experience. The classroom teacher and I looked at each other considering what to do. I shared that in the past if I get to the next verse, this child usually calmed down. We tried it, and it worked!
YIA Mentor Artist Hannah Dworkin
Mentor Artist Suzanne Joyal joined Marinwood camper artists again for another Thursday full of art-making. This time, we focused on early cave dwellers, and asked the questions: What would an early Cave Dweller Paint? What would they use for tools? and How would they make their own Paint?
We created our own small caves as we searched for the answers to these questions. Artists used paints made from food (tea, coffee, and cherries), and from the earth (ochre, sienne, charcoal, and gold). Our tools were simple: sticks, flowers, feathers, and our hands. And we made pictures of what we SEE and what an early cave dweller would see (animals, plants, friends and family). Read more…
Our next project begins to explore the concept of FORM: how do we create art that comes off the page? Beginning in black and white, Marindalers learned about GLUE this week. How do we make things stick to our picture? How does glue feel compared to paint on our hands? (The answer was STICKY!)
Children are learning to make choices: Do I want a Big triangle or Small? Black or White?
In four weeks, children have learned some important rules for artists:
Children are learning to follow a series of steps to make their art:
We are seeing individual artistic expression in their pieces: some are limiting their pallet to one color, some have glued their pieces in a row (making a pattern), some have chosen to draw the same shape on every piece, and some have chosen to smoosh each piece with a painty hand!
"I learned that LETTERS are very attractive to many children! I had cut up foam core signs from an art exhibit, and not only were most students able to grasp the shapes, many made choices based on the letters they found on the shapes."–Suzanne Joyal, Mentor Artist
It turns out that for many children, no art project is complete until the paint has been applied: to hands as well as artwork.
Marindale students have been experimenting with SLIPPERY: how does it feel to draw and paint on a slippery surface? How does your crayon move? Your paintbrush? Your hands? What does it sound like when you tap on the foil? On the plastic? How is it different from drawing on paper?
Mentor artist Suzanne Joyal designed several projects to explore this topic. Students were able to experiment with a variety of media on foil, green cellophane, and clear plastic, mounted on foam core scraps. Crayola Window Crayons, Twistables, and Dry Erase Markers allow students with all levels of fine motor development to see success with making marks on the boards.
Our next project was inspired by Amstel when she chose to use our erasers (meant to be pushed through the paint thereby making a new kind of mark) as a building material. She stacked them all into a tower (which unfortunately fell down).
Mentor Artist Suzanne Joyal is working with four classrooms at Marindale in San Rafael, and students of all abilities are exploring the same Essential Question. In week one, we started with Texture: how can we FEEL things when we create?
This year in the Sausalito Marin City School District the arts specialists have been thinking about their roles, and what their goals are in the classroom.
Below are some important connections the teaching artists in the District are nurturing in the classrooms:
1. Artists make spontaneous and deliberate (planned out) decisions. 2. Artists learn and develop their work by addressing challenges as they arise. 3. Artists develop works of art through meaningful experiences with materials. 4. Artists thrive in a community that accepts risks and values multiple approaches. 5. Artists work responsively, not necessarily efficiently, often working on a project over a long period of time. 6. Artists use ideas as material. 7. Artists look at art and listen to music.
Reflection is an important time to look, learn, and discuss
Crafting strong Essential Questions is important to the teaching practice
Students are given t i m e to explore & experiment with materials
Creating an environment of wonderment is key
Creating Artist Trading Cards was part of the arts integrated unit with Ms. Nestle, the Willow Creek Language Arts specialist, and her 7th grade artists.
This unit was connected to the book Dragonwings, by Laurence Yep.
The essential question that the students were focused on was, "What are the many different ways people communicate?"
Each student was asked to create 4 trading cards (but they had to create 2 of each so that they could be traded).
Materials were simple: Black paper on white trading cards. Some artists chose to embellish their cards with watercolor pencils.
The symbols (that were cut out of black paper) had to represent the artist, and communicate ideas about them to others when shown or traded.
The cards were then laminated, shared, traded, and used as an artistic resource for creating their kites.
An old friend and colleague of mine, Benicia Hill, who presently works as the Middle School Arts Specialist at The Berkeley School, did an Artist Trading Card project with her students.

Boating On Lake Michigan
By Kevin WaltersPublished: April/May 2013
They had a dream: to take the kids on a big boating adventure that would push them, connect them, and open them up to the world around them.

Island Bound, at anchor in Baie Fine.
During the summer of 2010, my wife Erin and I decided to leave our Lake Michigan homeport and take our two young daughters — Isabel, 5, and Hannah, 8 — out to explore the Great Lakes. I longed to live the cruising lifestyle for a summer, and expose the kids to an experience that I hoped would shape their dreams. Erin and I, a schoolteacher and a biologist, wanted to turn Lake Michigan into a giant open-air classroom.
Photo: Kevin Walters
Erin and our newest daughter Soleil (5 months) enjoy the peace at anchor.
We sailed our 28-foot Irwin Mark IV, Island Bound, more than 1,000 nautical miles during our three-month journey, and made it as far as Killarney, Ontario, in Lake Huron. We spent our days sailing, swimming, hiking, playing games, and singing, until buzzard-sized mosquitoes drove us down into the cabin for the evening. Most nights, we anchored alone in peaceful, natural harbors. There were rare moments when each one of us felt scared or bored, but they were far outweighed by the countless times we laughed, loved, and learned. There are enough islands to visit, sand dunes to climb, gunkholes to explore, and enough ports-of-call to keep even the most landlubberly crewmember happy. Here are some of our favorite spots, from our cruising adventure, and from our weekend explorations.
For a lesson in social history, we visited Beaver Island, population 650, and 32 miles offshore from Charlevoix, Michigan. The passage makes for a nice day of sailing in the right conditions. Being the most remote inhabited island on all the Great Lakes almost guarantees an interesting past, and Beaver Island didn't disappoint. The locals told us of James Strang, leader of a Mormon sect in the mid-1800s, who moved to the island with his followers and declared himself polygamist king in an elaborate ceremony. He was eventually murdered by disgruntled disciples, and the rest of his followers were run off Beaver. Strang left a colorful trail of history still fascinating people on the island today.

After reading many of the recent letters published in the paper in support of Richard Vaughan and attacking Mark Burnett, I felt that I had to speak up to set the record straight. I am a former employee of the Grayson County Sheriff's Office, where I worked under Sheriff Vaughan and his predecessor. Vaughan stated in his letter to the paper that "nobody has to have an appointment to speak with me." This statement is not true.
After reading the letters submitted for Richard Vaughan, I feel the need to respond. Vaughan states that he has run his office in a financially responsible manner. However, if you take a look at his approved budgets since taking office, you see a different story. The current yearly budget includes line item requests which include $135,000 for "automobiles" and "automobile expenses" and $6,000 for "construction."
In rebuttal to Mr. Richardson's point regarding hiring practices, why aren't Grayson County people good enough to hire to patrol their own communities? Sheriff Vaughn did hand pick who he wanted to hire. While I applaud Mr. Ashby's and Mr. Sawyer's resumes, why not move the extra five minutes and pay taxes there just like the hardworking people of Grayson County that pay your salaries?
The Public Safety Interoperability Communications grant project was a regional effort by Carroll County, Grayson County and Galax. The total grant project was $1,577,479. Grayson County received over $800,000 of those funds. In January 2008, I was contacted by Carroll County and Galax officials regarding meetings on the project. I was told that no one from Grayson County had attended any of the meetings, and Grayson County would not be included in the project without representation.
As of March, Gerald Goad announced that he would be running for Pipers Gap District supervisor in Carroll County.
I recently had the honor of getting to know him and want to express how much he is dedicated to helping the youth of this county.
The Town of Independence has never looked better. A little sprucing up has gone a long way.
The new mural on town hall, the biking/walking trail to the park and the welcome flags have helped make our town a little more attractive to those who live here and to visitors.
Mr. Goldwasser, please tell the facts!
Ameripumps is still in operation. It is providing jobs with no cost to the taxpayers. Amerlink cost the county over $2 million with no jobs.
The sewer to Galax was done because it saved the county thousands of dollars.
I am a candidate for the Pine Creek District seat on the Carroll County School Board.
I have lived in this area all my 57 years. Some may know me from my farming and cattle operations. Others may remember me from the fight against Duke Energy's natural gas pipeline.
Recent news stories reported that any couple with less than $14,000 per year of income is considered below poverty level and not even counted anymore.
I would like to express my concern about lice at Independence Elementary School.
My daughter brought them home and when I called the school, they only checked my children and not any other children.
The principal stated that there was a case in fourth grade two weeks earlier, but no letters were sent home to parents.
I would advise all parents with children in Independence Elementary to check their children's heads for lice

I have a reservation for one site, 3 nights...can't wait.
I'll be bringing a number of things to trade or sell too.
I'd also like to learn friction fires. (I have figured out the fire piston, working on the Fresnel lens now)
You're right Randy, it's time to think activities. I've got some ideas, but would love to see what other folks would like to do.
We're glad to have as much Justin time as the schedule fits. Glad the gigs are coming in!
I can't wait either!
By my count from here and PMs I've received, as a group nearly 10 sites have already been reserved!
I've already reserved several sites and have covered all those who've asked for it. Folks in Post 91 whose names are italicized are who I've reserved for so far and the offer is still open for me to reserve sites through this weekend.
Hey guys and gals who asked me to reserve a site/space for you,
Take a look below and see if I did what you intended. If you should be listed and are not, PM me and well fix it. If there is anything that needs changing or correcting PM me as well and well make that right. Based upon thread posts and PM's here's what I've got:
Advance group arriving Thursday and Sharing Sites:
UncleMJM, Texas Longhorn, Alan, Oldgringo, JRS, TBCTX, and Cogneato
Arriving Friday and sharing sites:
UncleMJM's Wife (and Parents hopefully), CLB, Steinerj & Son, Shane & Pamela, and EastTexasHanger
Arriving Friday with Individual sites:
Rat Pack
Captn & 1st Mate
Tiny & Dad
GoSpidey + 2
To book what's listed above, I've made a first night's payment on, and reserved 3 sites for the Thursday night advance group and an additional 5 sites for normal people Friday-Sunday.
Several folks have already reserved their own sites in addition to those I've booked and there are still a couple of dozen more sites left for others to reserve so there's plenty of room for everyone who wants to attend.
Hedcase and I are probably going to be there... not sure about the details!

"We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." - Ben Franklin
Each of the last couple of years at our hangs we've had a mini group buy on line and then had a splicing demo/class. We've got a pro willing to teach the splicing on board so I'm willing to put the group buy together.
Based on purchasing by the spool, including a HammockForum discount, and crossing our fingers on postage, it looks like we'll be able to get 7/64 in line for somewhere between .20 and .22 per foot.
If you'd like to get in on this I'll take orders over the next few weeks with a cut off of October 15th.
Here's how it will work. PM me with the quantity you'd like in 100 foot increments, list your top two color preferences.
After the cut off, I'll post the list of who ordered and quantities and give a day or two to make sure it's correct. Then I'll place the order and when we get the final cost of postage I'll let you know the actual cost and you can decide if you want to pay at the hang or through PayPal.

Comments about Golden State Warriors 27'' x 37'' Vertical Banner Flag:
I ordered the gold flag with the blue logo which is what the website shows. The checkout screen showed a different blue flag with yellow logo and the design was not hte same. I hoped that the checkout screen was wrong and I'd get the flag pictured on the website. Instead I got the ugly flag that only the checkout screen shows. Not only is the flag ugly but it looks cheap. You can see right through the flag. You should not be able to see through a sports flag. I kept the flag as it was the only one I could find and I want to show my pride for the best team in the NBA but it is one ugly cheap looking flag.
Ironically, even the top of this review page is showing the flag that I wanted and ordered, not the flag I received.

CurtainUp Review
The playwright's focus has always been on a woman caught on the horns of a sociological dilemma and that woman here is eighteen-year-old Sandy (Rachel Miner), whose background contributes to her career choice as a prostitute. What's different this time around is that equal attention is given to a trapped by poverty and personality male -- Curt (Joe Murphy), a small town cop who becomes involved with her after a botched attempt to prove that the massage parlor where she works is a front for prostitution. The drama has Gilman's characteristic strong voice and an attention-getting dramatic situation that sends the characters navigating life paths that are treacherously paved with grit and hypocrisy. The actors, three of whom originated their roles in the play's Chicago premiere, are solid enough to almost, if not quite, keep Gilman's issue-oriented playwriting from robbing the characters of flesh and blood credibility. The play's strenths are also enhanced by Robert Falls' strong direction, Walt Spangler's set props smoothly gliding on and off stage, and Brigit Rattenborg Wise's on the mark costumes -- all carryovers from the Chicago production.
A fifth character, Beth (Amy Landecker), the college educated, artistic girlfriend with whom Curt always feels on trial, adds an interesting issue about the class struggle that exists in our supposedly classless society. Beth has one powerful scene, a big blowup with Curt after she finds out that he has been seeing Sandy. As heretofore unstated feelings erupt into angry confrontation, it's clear where this relationship is headed, but it's just as clear that even this is a lacerating scene, can't save Beth from being a somewhat underwritten and unsatisfying character. As indicated earlier, the actors all do excellent work. Rachel Miner beautifully brings out the vein of iron running through the hooker with a good head for business along with the perennial heart of gold. While Gilman's script specifies that Sandy should not be a knockout -- she is very much so. Joe Murphy, who occasionally brings Kevin Bacon to mind, keeps the conflicted, insecure Curt from coming across as a self-pitying whiner. Steve Key and Colleen Werthmann zestfully provide the humorous interludes. In case you're wondering about the title, the second act begins with Duke Ellington's "Blue Serge", part of Beth's efforts to educate Carl about jazz. Carl is taken aback to discover that the title and the music which evoke a "surge of sadness" for him is really about a suit made out of cheap material. It's a nice metaphor for the deceptiveness of their relationship. It can also be used to sum up the play. It surges forward forcefully and full of good ideas, but it doesn't have quite the richness of a super fine quality cloth that's been tailored into a flawless garment. Still, even with flaws, Gilman's plays always add up to provocative theater. LINKS TO OTHER PLAYS BY REBECCA GILMAN Boy Gets Girl The Glory of Living Spinning Into Butter

Morgan to run for Senate District 30 |
Written by News Desk | |||

Bryan E. Morgan of Prattville (pictured) has qualified to run for the Senate District 30 seat. Morgan will run as an independent against GOP candidate Clyde Chambliss, also of Prattville. A graduate of the University of Alabama and Cumberland School of Law, Morgan is an attorney who served as the Executive Director of the Alabama Office of Prosecution Services and the Alabama District Attorneys Association. From 1996-1997 he worked at the Pentagon in the Chief Counsel's Office, National Guard Bureau, Washington, D.C. He retired in June 2012 as a Colonel and the full-time Attorney for the Alabama National Guard serving in that role from 1997-2012. He currently practices law in Prattville, Alabama spending most of his time assisting military veterans. Morgan gathered nearly 2,000 signatures, far more than the amount needed, to be on the November ballot as an independent. "I'm running as an independent because I believe the political parties have not been fair and just to the people of this state. I am convinced that the people are best served when an elected official is not controlled by a party or a faction," Morgan said. Morgan's campaign website is bryanearlmorgan.com. -Staff report

How to Hide a Clothing Stain
Did you get a food stain at lunchtime? If you don't have another shirt handy, you'll have to hide it until you get home. Here's how.
1Read the menu and plan ahead. If you can, avoid ordering anything messy. If it's going to be spaghetti for lunch, eat carefully and put a napkin in your lap. If etiquette allows, you can also tuck a napkin in your collar.Ad
2Try cleaning the stain. You can buy travel-sized stain remover, or if you're not that prepared, you can simply go to the bathroom and try rinsing the stain off.
- Blot, don't rub. Rubbing a stain can push the stuff further in.
- Use soap if it's safe for the fabric. Even hand soap will help to get out grease or food stains.
- Rinse well. Your shirt will dry soon enough.
3Go up or down a layer. Put on a sweater, sweatshirt, or jacket, or take one off. If it's warm enough, and the stain is on a sleeve, you could also roll up your sleeves.
4Remember to treat the stain when you get home and wash the garment properly as soon as you can.AdAd

- A clothing stain is not a disaster. If you just can't get it off nicely, laugh it off instead. If someone calls your attention to it, smile and say, "Yeah, lunch got a bit more interactive than I'd planned."
- Have a spare shirt or sweater handy. Leave one in the office, a car, or your bag or locker. It's handy for times when the weather gets a bit colder than expected, too.
- Some stains don't come out. Use some special washing stuff to get the stain(s) out.

If you've never heard of the Invoice Processing Platform, you're probably not alone. It's a system for handling electronic transactions with vendors. And now the Office of Management and Budget is developing new guidance that strongly encourages agencies to use it and it alone. At the moment, your chief financial officer is commenting on the draft guidance. It's all part of OMB's more aggressive push to shared services in 2015. Executive Editor Jason Miller joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin to discuss what he's found out about the draft guidance, and where OMB is heading with shared services.

USS Pomfret (SS-391), a Balao-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the pomfret, a fish of the seabream family; a powerful and speedy swimmer, capable of operating at great depths.
Pomfret was laid down 14 July 1943 and launched 27 October 1943 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard, in Kittery, Maine, sponsored by Miss Marilyn Maloney, daughter of Senator Francis Maloney; and commissioned 19 February 1944, Commander Frank C. Acker in command.
World War II[edit]
After training, the new submarine arrived Pearl Harbor 1 June 1944. She departed Pearl Harbor 23 June and proceeded via Midway to her first patrol area—the east coast of Kyūshū and Bungo Suido. On 6 July she made an emergency dive when attacked by a Japanese plane. On 12 July she allowed a Japanese hospital ship to proceed in peace. After attempting an attack on a battleship, she arrived at Midway 16 August.
On 10 September she departed Midway for the Luzon Straits-South China Sea area to conduct her second patrol. She sighted two enemy battleships on 26 September, but their speed and the presence of an enemy submarine prevented an attack.
On 2 October Pomfret sank Tsuyama Maru, a 6,962-ton passenger-cargo vessel. After the usual depth charging, she departed for Saipan and moored in Tanapag Harbor 12 October.
After refit and training, Pomfret reentered the same patrol area 1 November as part of a wolf pack, with Cdr. John B. Hess now commanding. Pomfret sank Atlas Maru, 7,347-tons and Hamburg Maru, 5,271-tons. On 25 November, she sank Japanese Patrol Boat No.38[7] and cargo ship Shōhō Maru, 1,356-tons. Pomfret departed the area and proceeded via Midway to Pearl Harbor.
The ship began her fourth patrol 25 January 1945 in another wolf pack. The mission was a picket boat sweep ahead of a carrier task force soon to strike the Tokyo-Nagoya area. After completing the sweep without encountering any picket boats, she moved south of Honshū for lifeguard work.
On 16 February she rescued a pilot from Hornet (CV-12). The next day, she saved a pilot from Cabot (CVL-28). The incident was described in "Silent Victory" by Clay Blair (Lippincott, 1975) as follows:
Pomfret, commanded by John Hess, made a spectacular rescue. A pilot from the carrier Cabot was forced to ditch in the outer waters of Tokyo Bay. Fighters circled over Pomfret, guiding Hess to the rubber life raft. Hess fearlessly took Pomfret into these restricted waters and rescued the pilot, Ensign R. L. Buchanan. During this same bold operation, Hess picked up another pilot, Lieutenant Joseph P. Farrell from Hornet, and a Japanese pilot. War correspondent Ernie Pyle devoted a column to the rescue entitled 'Even If You Was Shot Down in Tokyo Harbor, the Navy Would Be In to Get You'.
That day she also captured two prisoners. Unsuccessfully attacked by a Japanese destroyer on 10 March, she departed the area 23 March and arrived at Midway on 30 March. By the time she reached base, one of the prisoners, nicknamed Butterball by the crew and assigned as cooks assistant, had been taught to sing "God Bless America". Departing Midway 26 April for the Kuril Islands-Okhotsk Sea area, she entered the area 5 May. On 26 May she fired torpedoes at an enemy anti-submarine hunter-killer group, but scored no hits. She returned to Midway 7 June.
On 2 July she departed for her sixth war patrol. After lifeguard duty south of Honshū, she began patrol in the East China Sea. On 19 July she sank the first of 44 floating mines. On 24 July, she shelled the Kuskaki Jima lighthouse and radio installations and, on 26 July, she destroyed a threemasted junk and a small schooner. On 8 August she rescued the entire five-man crew of a B-25 bomber. Pomfret continued to shell small craft and pick up Japanese and Korean survivors until the cessation of hostilities 15 August 1945. The following day she headed for Guam. On 9 September she arrived at San Francisco.
Post-war service[edit]
On 2 January 1946 Pomfret departed Mare Island Naval Shipyard for Guam, arriving 22 January 1946. She proceeded to Subic Bay, Philippine Islands 9 March, and from there steamed to Tsingtao, China where for six weeks she acted as target for U.S. antisubmarine warfare vessels based at Tsingtao. On 18 May she returned to Pearl Harbor, her new homeport. During the next three years, she made two tours of duty in Western Pacific: the first, April to August 1947, and the second, December 1948 to April 1949.
Jimmy Carter, future President of the United States (1977–1981), served aboard Pomfret from 17 December 1948 to 1 February 1951 as his first shipboard assignment.[8] Carter is the only U.S. president to have qualified as a submariner.
In 1950 Pomfret arrived in San Diego. She operated along the United States West Coast until February 1951, participated in the Korean War until September and returned to San Diego to operate locally. Pomfret decommissioned in April 1952 for conversion at Mare Island to a Guppy IIA submarine. After conversion, she recommissioned 5 December and in the ensuing years alternated between coastal operations off San Diego and Western Pacific deployments.
She departed for Far Eastern waters 7 July 1967 on a cruise which included anti-submarine warfare exercises in the Gulf of Tonkin off Vietnam. She returned to San Diego 23 January 1968 and spent most of that year in exercises off San Diego.
TCG Oruçreis (S 337)[edit]
In 1971, transfers to the Turkish Navy were resumed, starting with Pomfret. After three months of training, she was transferred on 1 July in San Diego, and renamed TCG Oruçreis (S 337), after the great Ottoman seaman Oruç Reis. Her new crew sailed to the Philadelphia Naval Yard for an overhaul, and then, before sailing to Turkey, she took part in ASW training in Key West, Florida between 27 February – 22 March 1972. Oruçreis was commissioned on 3 May 1972. Ex-Pomfret was purchased outright by Turkey and simultaneously struck from the US Naval Register, 1 August 1973.
She served in the Turkish Navy until 1987.
Pomfret received five battle stars for World War II service.
The bell from the Pomfret can be found located in the officer's club of Dugway Proving Ground.
