It's filthy. Would you feed a banana that dropped to your child?
Unpeeled, dropped on a college bathroom floor.
Many folks use steel-cased ammo in AK's and AR's, but I'm not a fan of it. I just don't like the idea of rubbing steel cases against a steel chamber, not to mention dirty, as posted. You might consider reloading... I can produce a 50 round box of .45 ACP 230 gr FMJ for just over $10, and I recovered the equipment cost in about 18 months, with the savings.

I have read the forum rules and do not see this as a violation - I hope that it is not but, if so, mods please feel free to remove this post.... I am not trying to 'plug' another forum but only offering this because there was recently a very, very informative thread concerning this same issue on the 1911forum (under the Ed Brown sub-forum). Someone there posted that his father's Ed Brown had supposedly been ruined by Herter's ammo. In the discussion it was said that Herter's is basically TulAmmo that is repackaged. The person posting was eventually banned because he was using the discussion to bash Ed Brown CS. But Brown basically said that the slide and breech face had been ruined by using thousands of rounds of this ammo due to corrosive primers. Here is a link to the thread:Ed brown ruined by Herters ammo??? - 1911Forum Also, here is one post excerpts by a guy named Greyson & he is one of the senior members of that forum and extremely knowledgable. I found his posts on this subject to be of great value:"After some research, the issue with this ammo is not the steel "case", or the lacquer. Although one can make a case that it isn't optimal. The steel doesn't fireform as well as brass and the lacquor can leave a residue. But I digress..... The issue is cheap Russian primers that don't form a tight seal and start to eat up the breachface and or the firing pin hole. Eventually this will cause function problems. Either relability with the loading cycle on the breechface or the FP hole becomes fouled which causes another problem. Failure to fire, or failure of the FP to return to battery. Which causes a jam. They have seen this a "handful" of times over the years. The culprit is always cheap ammo or poor hand loads. The two options to fix this issue are: 1. To open up the FP hole (Brown uses a 38 super hole to help prevent this) to a standard 45 FP hole. Though not ideal depending on the damage. 2. The second, and ideal option, is to replace the whole slide. Brown offers significant discounts to the customer for either option. Brown is aware of two instances out of the "handful" that the ammo companies DID COMPENSATE THE CUSTOMER for the repairs. In these cases the customers took pics and made their argument to the ammunition makers. In closing, if you are going to run "cheap" ammo through your pistols (any pistol) pay attention to the breechface and watch it for damage. If you start to see damage, stop using the ammo BEFORE it gets so bad it doesn't function. ------------------- Definitions: A couple definitions from the SAAMI glossary PRIMER CRATERING A circumferential rearward flow of metal surrounding the indentation of a firing-pin in a fired primer cup. PRIMER FLOW-BACK See Primer Cratering. PRIMER LEAK The escape of gas between the primer cup and head of the cartridge case, or shotshell head. PRIMER SETBACK The condition when a primer, or battery cup primer assembly, moves partially out of its proper location in the primer pocket of a metallic cartridge or shotshell during firing. Some images from around the net to help illustrate what to look for:Google ImagesGoogle ImagesGoogle ImagesGoogle ImagesGoogle ImagesGoogle ImagesGoogle ImagesGoogle Images And example of a 9mm/38super FP hole vs a 45 FP hole. Brown uses a 9/38 to help mitigate these issues from happening.Google Images Regards, Greyson __________________ Actually doing always trumps just talking. Success or fail."
Just my humble opinion, but anyone who spends big $$ on a high quality 1911 is doing themselves a disservice by shooting it with the cheapest crap ammo they can get their hands on. Is WWB or W-M federal really that much more? Sure it ain't great, but it's brass cased and you have removed one variable. If price is that big of a factor, order decent bulk ammo online when you catch a sale or start reloading. As to the Ed Brown vs. Herters, it just seems sacrilegious to run steel cased Russian ammo through an Ed Brown. Would you let the HS dropouts at Jiffy Lube service your new Ferrari?
After this, I am never putting steel cases in my SA1911. I realized steel can break steel. WTF was I thinking. Slap on the head*

Depends on the game! If I'm hunting near where you are a good pair of Brush pants, mine are snake proof. A good pair of high boots that breath. For both birds and rabbits these are a neccesity. A fanny pack to carry ammo, glow sticks, a mini mag light, some cans of juice, 1st aid kit, calls, sun screen, extra ammo, and trail mix. If you are planning on walking a long distance, one of the best things to do is wrap a piece of cardboard in tin foil, step on it with your boot and leave it on your dashboard when you go out. It makes finding you in case of emergency easier. I also carry a 9 shot .22lr revolver. Did I mention I hate snakes!
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
as little as possible .22 rifle or 12 gauge shotgun, a belt pouch that holds ammo, flash light, tools (for the weapon) matches, a E blanket, I have my knife on my belt, my water is in a insulated bladder bag (also insulated to make less noise). As for cloths depends on game 90% of the time I wear Camo jeans (real tree pattern) camo shirt, boonie hat, and shoes either Hermans Survivors or some hiking boots. I have a messenger bag I use for the bodies,

When all else fails.
In my state (Pennsylvania) 250 sq inches of orange is required on the head, back, and chest. So my gear, ammo, hunting license is all carried in a hunting coat. This plus my shotgun and a good pair of brush pants is all I take. Since our small game seasons run from late October to February, I chose a hunting coat with an insulated vest that zips in and out.

HOLYOKE – After a painful few days, Mayor Elaine A. Pluta said on Tuesday she is recovering and officially has resumed being mayor after surgery to fix what a doctor said was a huge tear in a right shoulder muscle.
"I actually am doing well considering how I was for the couple of days after the operation. It was not fun," said Pluta, 66.
She had the 90-minute surgery on Thursday, Feb. 18 at Holyoke Medical center to repair a muscle that was torn when she fell on the pavement while exiting a parking garage across from City Hall on Jan. 11.
From the time she had the surgery until early on Tuesday, she said, she had to transfer in writing the authority of mayor to City Clerk Susan M. Egan as required under the city charter. She told Egan she is back being mayor, Pluta said.
Pluta has been working from her Berkshire Street home, signing documents brought to her by staff and planning to proceed with a meeting on Wednesday with state Department of Transportation officials.
Besides the pain from the surgery, Pluta said, a challenge has been getting sleep because of the restrictions imposed by a large immoblizing sling she must wear on her shoulder for another three weeks.
Pluta has three grown children with husband Theodore A. Pluta, but said she finds herself in the odd position of considering buying maternity clothing for tops bulky enough to accommodate the sling.
"It's huge. I really don't have the clothing to wear in public," Pluta said.
Holyoke Mayor Elaine A. Pluta back on the job following shoulder surgery

Reducing assembly complexity of microbial genomes with single-molecule sequencing
1 National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, 110 Thomas Johnson Drive, Frederick, MD 21702, USA
2 USDA, ARS, Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, NE 68933, USA
3 USDA, ARS, Center for Grain and Animal Health Research, Manhattan, KS 66502, USA
Genome Biology 2013, 14:R101 doi:10.1186/gb-2013-14-9-r101
Published: 13 September 2013Abstract
The short reads output by first- and second-generation DNA sequencing instruments cannot completely reconstruct microbial chromosomes. Therefore, most genomes have been left unfinished due to the significant resources required to manually close gaps in draft assemblies. Third-generation, single-molecule sequencing addresses this problem by greatly increasing sequencing read length, which simplifies the assembly problem.
To measure the benefit of single-molecule sequencing on microbial genome assembly, we sequenced and assembled the genomes of six bacteria and analyzed the repeat complexity of 2,267 complete bacteria and archaea. Our results indicate that the majority of known bacterial and archaeal genomes can be assembled without gaps, at finished-grade quality, using a single PacBio RS sequencing library. These single-library assemblies are also more accurate than typical short-read assemblies and hybrid assemblies of short and long reads.
Automated assembly of long, single-molecule sequencing data reduces the cost of microbial finishing to $1,000 for most genomes, and future advances in this technology are expected to drive the cost lower. This is expected to increase the number of completed genomes, improve the quality of microbial genome databases, and enable high-fidelity, population-scale studies of pan-genomes and chromosomal organization.

Series Title: | Bantam book. |
Responsibility: | Louis L'Amour. |
More information: |
From his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning--from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women--that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man. Like classic L'Amour fiction, Education of a Wandering Man mixes authentic frontier drama--such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert--with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe. At last, in his own words, this is a story of a one-of-a-kind life lived to the fullest . . . a life that inspired the books that will forever enable us to relive our glorious frontier heritage.

Global Warming Causes Amnesia
Global Warming Causes Amnesia
February 27, 2012 - 12:37 pm - by Ed Driscoll
Why not? It causes everything else, even including Seinfeld-style shrinkage. How else to explain the strange memory loss amongst Democrats who pummeled President Bush over high energy prices in the last years of his term (when they controlled both houses of Congress) and are now surprised at the unexpected (as the MSM would say) pounding the GOP is giving them over high gas prices?
Back in April of 2006, the New York Times, the lefts official house organ, reported, Democrats Eager to Exploit Anger Over Gas Prices:How soon they forget! Nina Totenberg of NPR is now defending Obama from rising gas prices, and claims: Politicians dont control this. This past week at the Washington Free Beacon similarly finds video of Debbie Downers Gassy Rhetoric:
Democrats running for Congress are moving quickly to use the most recent surge in oil and gasoline prices to bash Republicans over energy policy, and more broadly, the direction of the country.
With oil prices hitting a high this week and prices at the pump topping $3 a gallon in many places, Amy Klobuchar, a Democratic Senate candidate in Minnesota, is making the issue the centerpiece of her campaign. Ms. Klobuchar says it is one of the first things people bring up at her campaign stops.
To varying degrees, Democrats around the country are following a similar script that touches on economic anxiety and populist resentment against oil companies.
Based on the current prices here in California, three dollars a gallon is looking pretty good right now.
President Obama and his Democratic allies have responded to rising gas prices by insisting there is little, if anything, the administration can do to bring them down.
Obama told students in Miami on Thursday that there is no silver bullet when it comes to lowering gas prices. The White House press secretary told reporters this week there are no magic solutions.
But Democrats havent always been so consistent in their message. In fact, one prominent Democrat argued in 2005 that President Bush and Republicans were directly to blame for high gas prices.
Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), then a freshman member of Congress, complained on the House floor about the prospect of paying more than three dollars a gallon for gas for the foreseeable future, if not forever.
Next, ABC gets all wee-wee-ed up, as President Obama would say, over Newt Gingrich having a bit of sport with Mr. Obamas algae obsessions:Heh, indeed. As Victor Davis Hanson adds:
On Thursday night, Gingrich mocked the presidents speech in front of an Idaho crowd, by suggesting that he should take a bottle of algae with him and go around and we can have the Obama solution.
And maybe what we ought to do at Newt.org is we ought to get t-shirts that say You choose. Gingrich went on to suggest the slogans, You have Newt: Drill here, Drill Now, Pay Less. You have Obama: Have Algae, Pay More, Be Weird.
As gas nears $5-a-gallon out west, the president, who has cancelled a key pipeline and frozen federal leases from Alaska to the East Coast, teaches us about American algae potential, in the way he used to emphasize the importance of tire pressure and tune-ups. He castigates the opposition for making political hay out of bad news, in the way he routinely did as a senator in compiling the most partisan voting record in the Senate. Energy Secretary Chu cannot and will not say a word about soaring gas prices, since he is on record not so long ago hoping that they might double that is, get to $8- to 10-a-gallon as they are in Europe. The Energy Department can do almost everything Americans dont want, but not the single thing they do want.Jennifer Granholm, the Democrat former governor of Michigan from 2003 through the end of 2010, now hiding out in the witness protection program that is Al Gores Current TV, claims that blaming the president for high gas prices is like blaming Rudy Giuliani for 9/11. A curious turn of the phrase considering that both President Obamas former Green Jobs Czar and 35 percent of Granholms fellow Democrats likely happen to blame Giuliani for 9/11. And even more curious, as Noel Sheppard writes at Newsbusters, because Granholm regularly attacked President Bush over high gas prices and stumped for Obamas energy policy, which promised rising gas prices and bankrupting the coal industry.
As James Bowman of the American Spectator writes on his Website:Returning to the theme of an earlier post on the supposed stupidity of the electorate in the eyes of the media, I notice that todays Washington Post has President Obama telling us that there are no quick fixes for high gas prices. Likewise no silver bullet. It is now ten years since the Senate rejected the request of President Bush and the House of Representatives to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, at least partly on the grounds that, so we were told at the time, it would take ten years for the oil to come on line. So, then. How about a slow fix? How about any fix? The no quick fix meme is both true and irrelevant, yet another of the straw men that the rhetorical President is so skilled at building up only to tear down.This is just how he chooses to tell us, in the words of the Posts helpful gloss that it is the White Houses belief that gasoline prices are subject to cyclical spikes due to forces largely outside its control, including the rise in Chinese and Indian oil demand.Certainly, Republicans have every right to use the Democrats tactics from 2008 against them; jujitsu is what political warfare is all about. Though at Big Journalism, Warner Todd Huston outlines How Obama Uses False Media Narratives To Advance His Polices
Of course, that is itself a straw-man argument. The fact that oil price rises are partly or even largely outside our control makes no case at all for inaction on those things that are in our control.The Post, like the President, must think were stupid. Indeed, according to the account of the same speech in Politico the latter thinks we are so stupid that we will believe him when he tells us that it is the advocates of drilling who think we are stupid. The American people arent stupid, he said, because they will understand that Republican pleas to drill for more domestic oil are a bumper sticker and not a strategy to solve our energy challenges. As David Burges iowahawk pointed out in a Tweet, thats a bit rich coming from the guy who got himself elected on the bumper-sticker slogan of hope and change. At least drill, baby, drill has a precise and well-understood meaning.
Houston writes:We are talking, of course, about President Obamas claim that the GOP is licking their chops over the bad news of high gas prices. This is the line uttered by the president in his most misleading energy speech delivered in Florida on February 23rd.Finally, Lance Burri suggests a viral meme campaign, albeit using low-res 3d analog technology, rather than on the Internet:
In that speech, President Obama claimed that Republicans were happy that gas prices were hurting Americans. Obama intended to show that Republicans didnt care that America was hurting, happy they could use it as a political tool to hurt the president and his well-meaning policies.
Here is what he said:Some politicians, they see this as a political opportunity. I know youre shocked by that. Last week the lead story in one newspaper said, Gasoline prices are on the rise and Republicans are licking their chops. Thats a quote. That was the lead. Licking their chops. Only in politics do people root for bad news. Do they greet bad news so enthusiastically.Note how Obama uses the partisan slam, published in one newspaper written by a left-wing writer and presents this as fact about how Republicans feel about rising gas prices. Note that Obama didnt quote any actual Republican saying rising gas prices is a good thing. He quoted one of his own followers partisan claims and then assigned that false narrative to his political enemies.
In your college debate class youd call this a strawman argument. Using the claim of a partisan to represent the enemys position is what the rest of us usually call a lie.
This one newspaper from which Obama claims to quote is likely the left-leaning website Politico whose February 16th story begins with the line, Gasoline prices are on the rise, and Republicans are licking their chops.
It was Politico that said Republicans are licking their chops, not any Republicans.
Tellingly, not one of the reports in the news over the ensuing days tried to track down what one newspaper Obama was claiming to quote. It almost seems as if the rest of the Old Media assumed he was lying about the quote, but didnt much care anyway because the slam on Republicans was too good to check.
Update: From the Instapundit, Mitch Daniels reminds voters that Obama Administration Wanted Higher Gas Prices:
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) blamed President Obama for the spike in oil prices, saying the administration had pushed for consumers to pay higher prices at the pump.With the full faith and credit of the MSM cheering them on. As the Professor adds, its easier to call for higher gas prices when theyre low. Once theyre high, and people are feeling the pain, it seems kind of idiotic. At least in an election year. Particularly when theyre dealing with prices such as these every day while driving to work.
Lets give the president credit for one domestic policy that works. He wanted higher gas prices and he got them, said Daniels on Fox News Sunday. Secretary Chu said $8 are about what they pay in Europe. It would be great. Secretary Salazar said $10 and it still wouldnt be for drilling in the places where we know theres an awful lot of domestic production. And so, they have gotten the doubling of gas prices and perhaps worse, its a conscious policy of this administration. Maybe the one thing they set out to do and actually accomplished. he said.
More: Found via Jim Geraghtys Morning Jolt email, a Reuters photo is captioned, Prices rise above $5 for a gallon of premium gas at a Shell station at Olympic Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, California February 21, 2012.

Follow the Grass: a Smart Material Interactive Pervasive Display
Minuto, Andrea and Huisman, Gijs and Nijholt, Anton (2012) Follow the Grass: a Smart Material Interactive Pervasive Display. In: 11th International Conference on Entertainment Computing, ICEC 2012, 26-29 September 2012, Bremen, Germany (pp. pp. 144-157).

Abstract: | Smart materials offer new possibilities for creating engaging and interesting forms of interaction and ways of displaying information in a material way. In this paper we describe Follow the Grass, a concept of an interactive pervasive display for public spaces. The display will be built up out of a number of blades of grass that are actuated in eight directions using nitinol muscle wires (i.e. a shape-memory alloy). A Microsoft Kinect-based tracking system is employed to detect users' presence. Follow the Grass can be used for entertainment purposes by displaying animations through movement of the grass, as well as for indoor way-finding and ambient persuasive guidance.We present a number of scenarios with varying scales of interaction, and different applications, followed by a description of the initial hardware design of a single blade of grass and its actuated root. We will give a description of the tracking system, and how it tracks users and is capable of identifying individuals. Finally we will provide suggestions for the further development. |

Thank you Dilipkumar... boy did I learn my lesson. The one good thing about this is that the database was at the end of the testing stage, so I didn't lose critical customer data. I could have gotten a backup copy of the data files from our server backups, but at this point that would have been more trouble than just rebuilding the table. Next time I might not be so lucky, so this morning I did go ahead and create my own backup copies of everything! Thanks everybody for your help! -----Original Message----- From: Dilipkumar [mailto:dilipkumar_parikh@stripped] Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 4:24 AM To: Sara Woglom Cc: mysql@stripped Subject: Re: Table doesn't exist? Hi, Better suggestion is you would have backed your ibdata1 and alo the log file because that is the data files which contains your precouse data. If you have your backup try to import the lost tables. Restart your mysql with your new ibdata1 files and import. This might help to solve your problem. Sara Woglom wrote: I had to shut down my MySQL server (5.0.18) because of an error while editing a table ("Table is full"). I restarted it fine, but in order to do so I had to delete all my ibdata and ib_logfile files. Now, I am getting ERROR 1146: Table 'dbname.tablename' doesn't exist. Obviously it does exist, because when I request "SHOW TABLES;" it lists them all correctly. What on earth is going on? I followed the directions for restarting the server and deleting the log files! I also ran mysqladmin flush-privileges, flush-hosts, and refresh. Please help! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Thanks & Regards, Dilipkumar DBA Support

We have to rebirth, the soul of this planet and pray it be cleansed and gentled evermore, but as nails keep piercing hands reach to smooth across her scared shroud It has to be worshipped like the apostle to the apostles, but with a feast of celebration everyday dressed in her finest, she must be read and chronicled by scribes of all ages If her spirit cries out for a easing, for the torment that embroiders across and through her linen, rent from the abuse and torture of her kin having sewn by the hands, that marred her our sacrifice, will take Millenniums to ponder at the fibers of her cloth, for in the beginning, as the interweave of her shroud we started to spin, Great wheels through time our redemption, to sew a forever that rebirths from our torments Dedicated the P.K.Page

This paper reports the relationship between formal description of semantics (i.e., interpreter) of a programming language and an actual compiler. The paper also describes a method to automatically generate an actual compiler from a formal description which is, in some sense, the partial evaluation of a computation process. The compiler-compiler inspired by this method differs from conventional ones in that the compiler-compiler based on our method can describe an evaluation procedure (interpreter) in defining the semantics of a programming language, while the conventional one describes a translation process.

UmbrellaSpoilers for the movie WALL-EDark clouds loomed over the landscape that the members of Operation: Recolonize had staked as their own. Like many other traits of the planet, knowledge of rain was programmed into EVE's brain, and she knew she had once been in a rain storm while in stasis, but none of that made EVE any more used to that which she was feeling for the first time.It took EVE about five minutes to figure out why humans mostly headed for cover when storms came. At the very least, they made one feel uncomfortable. She didn't have the same issue with getting wet that her organic comrades had, but rather there was a special issue only she had. The crevice that her head stood above acted as a bowl, and the water that dripped from her head all fell into it and started to build up. It felt so awkward that she's have to shake the water out rather frequently. The storm's complete covering over their patch of the sky only pointed to this annoying routine continuing for the enti

The Hüdavendigâr Vilayet (Ottoman Turkish: ولايت خداوندكار, Vilâyet-i Hüdavendigâr)[3] or Bursa Vilayet after its administrative centre (Hüdavendigâr being a poetic Ottoman name for Bursa), was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of the Ottoman Empire. At the beginning of the 20th century it reportedly had an area of 26,248 square miles (67,980 km2).[4]
As of 1920, the British had described the vilayet as being "one of the most prosperous in Anatolia." The northern and western regions were mainly occupied by Christians. Highlands were populated by Turkish immigrants from Europe. The area near the Sea of Marmara was considered the most fertile area, with a large portion of the vilayet being "marshy and fever-stricken, especially between Bursa and Panderma." The vilayet produced wheat, barley, maize, beans, and seeds in the northern and western regions. Throughout the region, opium, tobacco and cotton was also produced. The area around Lake Iznik produced rice. The Balıkhisar area produced "some of the finest fruit grown in Turkey."[5] Barley is also of large production in the highlands and is exported to England.[5]
Silk production was considered the most valuable of the region during the 20th century. The vilayet had schools devoted to silk production. The region had obtained silkworm seed from France. Bursa was the heart of silk production.[5] The silk is mainly exported, sometimes as thread or cocoons. In the mid 19th-century, a disease spread through the silkworm, causing a decline in production. As of 1920, the disease was eradicated and business was steady. Cotton production remained steady, and towels and robes were common items produced from cotton.[6] Velvet and felt were also produced. Felt was used for saddles and other equestrian related goods. The area also made tanned leather and carpet. The city of Kutahia created tiling and pottery. Soap and flour was also produced in the vilayet.[7]
Lignite was being mined in the area between Kirmasli and Mikhalij. Towards the end of World War 1, the region was exporting approximately 300 tons of lignite monthly to Istanbul.[8] Chromite, mercury, marble, fuller's earth, and antimony were also plentiful in the region in the early 20th century.[9][10][11]
Environmental history[edit]
The region was described as having "beautiful forests" in the 1920s, estimating 23,000 square kilometers. The area of Ainegeul was described by the British has having the "richest" timber. Gediz had a large oak population. The vilayet in general had tree populations consisting of fir, oak, elm, chestnut, beech, and hornbeam.[12]
Administrative divisions[edit]
Sanjaks of the Vilayet:[13]
- Sanjak of Bursa (Bursa, Gemlik. Orhangazi, Karacabey, Mudanya, Mustafakemalpaşa, Orhaneli)
- Sanjak of Ertuğrul (Bilecik, Söğüt, İnegöl, Yenişehir)
- Sanjak of Kütahya; belonged to Hüdavendigar Vilayet from 1876, became an independent Sanjak after the Second Constitutional Era.[14]
- Sanjak of Karahisar-i-Sarip (Afyonkarahisar)
- Sanjak of Karesi (Balıkesir, Edremit, Erdek, Ayvalık, Balya, Bandırma, Burhaniye, Sındırgı, Gönen)

text: The Homer City Council passed an emergency ordinance Monday that, for the next 60 days, would fund repairs needed to the seawall by creating a "differential property tax zone" for Ocean Drive Loop residents. "If it looks like there's imminent danger and I have to make emergency repairs, it will be recouped later on through the service district," said City Manager Walt Wrede. Ordinance 11-49 passed on a five-to-one vote, with only Bryan Zak voting against it. A similar ordinance, but permanent rather than for emergencies, was introduced on a four-to-one vote, with only Zak voting against it. A public hearing and final reading of the ordinance will be held at the council's Jan. 23 meeting. The $1 million, 1,800-foot seawall was built in 2002. A 2006 ordinance approved a special service district, with taxes to be used to fund seawall operations and repairs, but that district was dissolved by the council in 2010. At Monday's meeting, council member Kevin Hogan asked the property owners present about the distance their homes and businesses were from the seawall to the bluff being eroded by wave action. Some said the distance had decreased to as little as 20 feet or less. Don McNamara said in the 10 years he's lived on Ocean Drive Loop, eight feet of his property has disappeared. Speaking against the ordinance, Chris Newby pointed to the city's "duty and responsibility." "If you look at what's exposed and in jeopardy, there's more than my house and my neighbors' houses. There's a very expensive road and a sewer project I'm paying assessments on, water and electrical lines. It's just not our property along the seawall." Paul Heuper also spoke against the ordinance, saying he knew that "roughly 50 percent" of the property owners for one reason or another had not contributed to the former special service district. Heuper's strongest opposition, however, hinged on a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers permit that "makes it clear it's the city's responsibility." Property owners Don and Donna Rae Faulkner also expressed opposition to the ordinance. "We have never asked the city to do work on our private property or to pay for anything," said Donna Rae Faulkner in an email to the council. "We have spent approximately $15,000 on our section of the seawall. We can show you bills and photos if you would like." Resident Sunny Bourgeois said that however repairs were funded, making those repairs quickly was the most important factor. "It happens so fast in the wintertime when the storms come in. If a repair is $2,000, you wait a couple of days and all of a sudden it's $10,000," said Bourgeois. "If we are going to have to pay for repairs and you're going to tax us on this, set something in place where we're watching it and it's getting fixed right away. Two or three months costs everyone money." Marilyn Heuper and Pat Irwin each urged the council to work with property owners to find a long-term solution to repairing the seawall and stopping the erosion of property along its stretch. "We want to work with you," said Irwin. "You own part of it, too. It's your property. Let's get it done." McKibben Jackinsky can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Home » Boys' Swimming & Diving NewsConference RelaysDecember 9, 2012 East Ridge Boys Swim & DivePatience is the art of waiting. Patience is a virtue the East Ridge Raptor Swim & Dive Team will learn this year. With no seniors, the Raptors are a young , talented team and after a third place finish in the Conference Relay Meet, add "motivated" to the description. Starting the evening with a first place finish in the 400 Medley Relay, the Raptor team of Sam Scholz (backstroke), James Tidd (breaststroke), Kent Rabideaux (butterfly) and Garrett Verhoeven (freestyle) nearly beat the pool record set last year by a Raptor relay comprised of three seniors and Scholz. Next year guys – patience! The Raptor 200 breaststroke relay with David Scholz, Alex Heide, Kent Rabideaux and James Tidd also finished with a record breaking 1st only to be disqualified in a start exchange error. Next year guys – patience! The Raptors still finished strong in every event of the meet, finishing no lower than 5th place within the field of ten teams. The Diving squad, including Max Samuelson and Lafayette Doty, competed at Cottage Grove Middle School and took 4th place. Stillwater was the top team overall, followed by Mounds View and then East Ridge. Three Raptor relays took second place: the crescendo relay (Mason Pflieger 50 free, Tyler Langstraat 100 free, Aleksander Holleran 200 free, and Verhoeven 500 free); the backstroke relay (Langstraat, Tidd, Sam Scholz and Ryan Schiferl) and the 400 free relay (Pierce Firebaugh, Verhoeven, Holleran and Rabideaux). The Raptor swimmers on the B relays also had some standout performances. Ethan Smyth, who only started swimming competitively last year, has already dropped 4 seconds from his best 100 backstroke. Connor Lisowski beat his 100 free time by over 3 seconds. Kyle Boyer, Noah Halbur, Joey Trevis , Josiah Vranyes and Brady Opsahl are also at or better than their best times from last year. This season is barely two weeks old, the practices may be long and hard, but the payoff is already beginning to show. The next two dual meets on Dec 13th (our first home meet against Mounds View) and Dec 20th (at the Stillwater pool) will give each and every team member an opportunity to step up. Go for it! Mary

In this breakthrough novel by political and media figure Rachel Marsden, Catherine Carson is the newest right-wing television star and co-host for America's top-rated television news network: BUX News. Carson, a former Republican strategist and Iraq War spin doctor, is known as a gifted sniper in both political backrooms and on-air verbal combat, but quickly discovers that no battle compares with those fought in the corridors of the television news giant. Suddenly leaving the network in a storm of speculation, she heads to Paris, France, on vacation – the last place anyone would expect to find an American right-wing opinion leader. A chance encounter leads to a new position advising the eccentric President of France, as Carson falls under the spell of the country's most popular politician – the President's nemesis – who seduces her into the biggest fight of her life, on the battlefield of love. In both work and romance, she wonders if she finally may have pursued her quest for adventure too far.

Good News!
posted on: 1/23/2012
Let's just get this out there: I'm terrible at making announcements. But I have exciting news, so I'll give it my best shot. Next month Bloom is opening online! What is Bloom you say? Well I opened Bloom, a little boutique in McKinney, Texas, last September right? And every once in a while I'll sport something from there (that's what the 'bloom' tag is, if you were ever lost on that). But unless you lived close by, you weren't able to buy the items I wore. Next month, select items from Bloom will be available online -- a small peak into the retail store. Right now Bloom's site is getting a facelift, you can check our progress out on Bloom's Facebook page or right here, of course. I will not leave you hanging.
Till our undetermined date in February, how about a few shots our first photoshoot to hold you over?
See you guys and this cute little model in February. (Just kidding, I'll see you tomorrow.)

US lifts government certification requirement for Brunello
Brunello di Montalcino,Luca Zaia,Sangiovese,John Manfreda, News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/484134/us-lifts-government-certification-requirement-for-brunello- 2009-10-26T17:05:00+00:00 Monday 26 October 2009
A statement was published shortly after Italy's agriculture minister Luca Zaia met with TTB administrator John Manfreda in Washington D.C. last week. The previous requirement for government certification was announced by U.S. authorities on 17 June 2008, in the wake of allegations that producers of Brunello di Montalcino had adulterated their wines by adding unauthorised grape varieties. 'I have obtained the definitive go-ahead for the importation of Brunello di Montalcino to the U.S.,' said minister Zaia in the statement. 'The case is now definitively closed.' According to existing appellation regulations, Brunello di Montalcino must be produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in Montalcino. Although no arrests or indictments have been made by Italian authorities during the "Operation Mixed Wine" investigation, treasury department officials reported in July 2009 that 20% of the 6.7 million litres impounded in the inquiry was declassified from Brunello di Montalcino DOCG to Toscana Rosso IGT. Brunello is 'one of the wine ambassadors of 'Made in Italy' products,' Zaia said, and is now 'assured its presence in the American market.' The meeting between minister Zaia and TTB head Manfreda was part of Zaia's week-long tour of the U.S. promoting authentic 'Made in Italy' agricultural products.

WesternOne Equity Income Fund Reports Significant Growth in 2012 Q2 Results
VANCOUVER, Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - WesternOne Equity Income Fund ("WesternOne") (Toronto Stock Exchange: WEQ.UN, WEQ.DB.B and WEQ.DB.C) today announced the release of its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
The results, consisting of WesternOne's interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") dated August 9, 2012, are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
2012 Q2 financial highlights and recent events:
Significant growth in consolidated revenue (197%), gross profit (169%)
and adjusted EBITDA(1) (178%) compared to Q2 2011 due to organic growth in WesternOne Rentals
& Sales ("WRS") and additional earnings from Britco.
Growth translated to solid operating cash flow, up 163% compared to Q2
2011 (before working capital changes).
Consolidated payout percentage(2) for Q2 was 49.5%, significantly improved from 94.9% in Q2 2011. Payout
percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 38.0%, compared
to 65.1% a year ago.
WRS generated year-over-year organic growth of 15.0% for revenue and
63.0% for adjusted EBITDA for Q2. The robust construction and film
production segments in Western Canada has led to higher fleet
utilization and rental rates and opportunities for fleet expansion.
Britco contributed revenue of $43.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $7.2
million for Q2 due to strong manufacturing activity in the workforce
accommodations sector. Compared to $6.8 million of revenue and $1.4
million of adjusted EBITDA for the month of June 2011 after
WesternOne's acquisition of the business on June 1, 2011, the increase
in revenue and adjusted EBITDA was due to (i) the full quarter of
operation in Q2 2012 and (ii) increased production output through
accelerated growth in manufacturing workforce and recent geographical
expansions into Edmonton, Alberta and Waco, Texas.
- On July 18, WesternOne announced that its board of trustees had approved a proposed transaction providing for the reorganization of WesternOne into a corporate structure (the "Conversion"). Completion of the Conversion is subject to conditions including regulatory approvals and approval from unitholders. Further details of the Conversion are available in WesternOne's information circular dated July 30, 2012, which is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
"We are delighted with the strong growth in our operating results for Q2 and year-to-date," said Mr. Darren Latoski, Chief Executive Officer. "WesternOne stands to benefit from continuous capital investments in the construction and infrastructure and resource sectors. We will continue to capitalize on this positive economic trend through executing disciplined growth initiatives."

Surgical teams at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit successfully completed the first eight-way, multihospital, domino kidney transplant. The transplant involved eight donors 3 men and 5 women along with eight organ recipients 3 men and 5 women. "All Johns Hopkins patients are in good condition and are recovering as anticipated," according to Robert A. Montgomery, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Transplant Center.
The procedure, kidney paired donation (KPD), takes a group of incompatible donor-recipient pairs (recipients coming to one of the four hospitals with a willing donor who is not compatible by blood or tissue) and matches them with other pairs in a similar predicament. By exchanging kidneys between the pairs, it is possible to give each recipient a compatible kidney. In this way, each recipient receives a kidney from a stranger, and transplants are enabled that otherwise would not have taken place. Involving multiple hospitals created even more possibilities for matches, but it also made the procedure more complex.
"We performed a similar six-way domino procedure involving three hospitals earlier this year," says Montgomery. "We managed to perform all those surgeries on the same day. However, adding two more recipients, two more donors and another hospital meant that we needed a multihospital team of eight anesthesiologists, 16 nurses and nine surgeons. The logistics being that much more complicated, we decided it was best to spread the surgeries over several days, the first on June 15 and the last, July 6."
Aside from sheer logistics, performing large numbers of transplants on one day puts a lot of strain on the doctors, nurses and staff at each hospital, says Montgomery, and also ties up too many operating rooms.
He says this new model will serve as a blueprint for a

I know whereof you speak. I owned a Hawk GT from '89 to '99. (imagine an SV, but with alum. delta box frame, alum. single side swing arm, shorter wheelbase, lighter weight, sharper steering, & Honda build quality). It was a great commuter, super track bike, & superb weekend warrior. Back then it was called "the poor man's Ducati". The one fly in the ointment? I've always had an academic vacation schedule & could always take at least two, multi week, tours every year. All the things that made me love the Hawk around home made it marginal for a tour. No weather protection, limited luggage capacity, tiring after hours on the slab, sharp steering in the twisties translated to twitchiness on those day-long slogs of interstate,etc, etc. (plus, I was not getting any younger). I managed, but it was never optimal. I overcompensated by buying a Sport Tourer, which turned out to be comfy, but heavy & lumbering by comparison. For me, the GSX 650 F turned out to be the perfect compromise.

FF/ survivors death benfits
The situation is like this. Last week one of my Firefighters died. It wasn't line of duty, he wasn't retired (30 years old). We are a volunteer dept. He was with my dept. four months and served with a vol. dept. just south of us for several years. He was married (24hrs.) had a couple children from a previous marriage. We did the best we could to help his wife & family. My question is, are there any kind of benefits for his family in any form that we can apply for and make sure happens properly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
By the way this man was buried in Elk City, Oklahoma. Very far from our location in Northwest Arkansas. Many,many thanks to the Elk City Fire Department for sending a few of their people to the funeral service to represent the Fire Service in our absence.
Thanks and be safe, Frank

I don't usually wear lipglosses - I usually find them sticky and prefer lipsticks.
This brand is my favorite. They're the only lipglosses I use and keep using. They're smooth and not as sticky as they could be. Plus, they smell divine and really do improve your breath scent. Very refreshing for a casual day.
This is my favorite lipgloss--I normally buy it in store, but I needed to get my Birchbox order over $100 for free 2-day shipping, so I added it. :) Nothing out of the oridnary with this product, it was as wonderful as usual--very glossy and minty! The only thing that was a little weird to me is there was a sticker on it (barcode and price) that was REALLY yellow and old looking. I was worried that this was maybe a really old tube but after trying it, it was fine.

December 8, 2011

Last night at Radio Disney's NBT concert, Cody Simpson sat down for an exclusive interview with us before his big performance. We asked him the super-juicy question on everyone's mind right now — is he single? Cody only revealed this to us:
"No, I don't have a girlfriend. I'm really focused on the music and everything right now. I have girls who are friends, but not a girlfriend."
There you have it! Cody is officially single. Thanks for spilling your crush status, Cody!
Tell us: Are YOU happy that Cody's single?
