The city was trying to get muldraugh or another municipality to take
over Otter Creek Park. It's kind of silly that it is run by the city.
Disc Golf looks to be taking a major hit with the budget cuts. Thank
God the bridges are done at CV!
My condolences go out too the Louisville crew... that course was always one of my favorites, I enjoyed making a summer trip down there to camp and play some DG around the area...
I'm thinking of writing a letter about us volunteering to keep the DG course kept up and seeing what they would say. If there is someone else that would like to do this let me know.Originally Posted by John
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
sucks - always did amaze me though that the city of louisville owned otter creek
sad to see it closed down - but maybe we can find some light at the end of the tunnel - new courses somewhere in the future
still can't believe its closing - have to go and play again soon - maybe we can get some sort of final event together on the 13th to help shut it down -
maybe fling-a-thing 09 at CV ???? -
This does suck, but let's not get down about this too much. In the long term it could be a very positive thing.
Let's review the facts. Working with Metro Parks is a long and difficult process mostly because of the size of the government. The parks department of smaller towns is generally easier to work with in part because there's less red tape.
So if the park is reopened by Meade County for instance, think how much easier it could be to work with them to install 9 to 18 more holes there. If something like that's done there, Otter could become a disc golf mecca.

That's what I've been thinking too. I don't know if Meade county could afford it though.

It sounds like Louisville will take anything they can get right now

Is Organic Better for You?
Article written by Alyssa Vierregger
The term 'organic' has specific guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP). Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that have not been given any antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic plant foods are those which are grown without the use of conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. In order for foods to be labeled organic, a government-approved certifier must inspect the farm to make sure the above standards have been met. There are also USDA standards for processing and handling organic food.
There are 3 types of organic claims on food labels:
- 100% Organic. These products are "completely organic" or "made of only organic ingredients" and have a USDA Organic Seal.
- Organic. Products in which at least 95% of its ingredients are organic and have a USDA Organic Seal.
- Made with Organic Ingredients. These food products contain at least 70% organic ingredients. The USDA Organic Seal cannot be used, but it may say "made with organic ingredients" on the packaging.
There is inconclusive evidence as to whether organic food has a higher nutrient content than conventional food. Some studies show that organic produce is higher in iron, magnesium, and polyphenols, while other studies show very little difference in nutrient content (1,2). In one study of milk, there was no noticeable difference in nutrient content between organic and conventional milk, but conventional milk did show lower bacterial counts (3). More research is needed on organic vs. conventional produce, grain, meat, and dairy products to determine nutrient differences.
Another concern is the safety of organic and conventional food. It is important to remember that all foods are covered under U.S. food safety laws and regulations. The main safety issues between organic and conventional products are pesticide residues and foodborne illness. Pesticide residues tend to be lower for organic products, but reports of contamination of Escherichia coli (E. coli) show higher levels in organic produce. Overall, both conventional and organic foods have good food safety records.
Generally speaking, organic foods tend to cost more than conventional foods. Organic foods typically have higher production and labor costs which contributes to a higher cost. However, when buying in-season produce, the difference in price between organic and conventional produce may be minimal.
Ultimately, the choice is yours on whether you purchase organic or conventional foods. Regardless of your decision, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, low-fat and non-fat dairy products, and whole grains to ensure a healthy diet. If you do choose to purchase organic products choose milk, fruits and vegetables where you eat the skin (i.e. peaches, apples, grapes, berries, celery, etc.), beef, peanut butter, and baby food. Research is still ongoing on the differences in nutrient content between organic and conventional foods, so it is best to read the food labels to determine the right products for your dietary needs.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
When it comes to security in war zones, what is considered "inherently governmental?" What can be contracted to private businesses? And is it pointless to even ask?
The federal Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan has been looking at the role, and oversight, of more than 40,000 private security contractors working in warzones.
Michael Thibault, commission co-chair, told Federal News Radio that after the latest round of two days of hearings, two things are clear: First, there's "no bright, shiny line" between what should be considered tasks closely associated and those critical to government. Secondly, while he said debate is critical, "right now it's a world of private security contractors."
"In the present day," Thibault told the Federal Drive, "it's clear it's an impossibility to back out the private security contractors and back in federal or government employees of any stripe"
He said Congress, for the most part, seems to understand the nuances of what the commission is finding and the understanding is growing.
Especially staff for some of the significant leaders on the Hill, they are up to speed. And the issues that we've brought out here aren't clear. And therefore I think everyone is trying find a position that seems to make the most sense, and I think that's where this discussion is so significant.
The next big focus of the commission will be looking at reconstruction contracts. Thibault said there are "huge, several hundred million dollar projects,... all over Afghanistan." The commission will examine the contracting process and whether they are being properly managed.
The only way that you really get the answer, and that's the interesting part, is you have to go put eyes and feet on the ground where they're doing the work. And that's pretty interesting because the commission staff, in this case, are going to be compelled to go look at some project that maybe some other folks don't want to look at for a variety of reasons. That's one area that in the next couple, three, months the commission's going to be spending a lot of time.

My cumulative GPA, thus far:
by degeneratemonkey (1405019) on Thursday January 24, 2013 @05:31PM (#42684077)All told, my GPA in high school averaged out to just under 3.0. Getting my undergraduate degree, I netted an average 2.4 GPA.
As far as predictive performance metrics go, GPA is largely meaningless. It only seems to bear significance when there are no other suitable means by which to judge a candidate, or when candidates are being filtered by incompetent HR personnel.
When starting my career, I had trouble getting past the latter. My solution was to omit academic experience altogether from my resume and focus instead on private software projects and contract work. That did the trick.
Nowadays, I do list my degree, but do not include a GPA figure. Nobody's bothered to ask about it and they have no problem giving me money in exchange for engineering services.
Re:Bell Curve (Score:4, Interesting)Because bell curves are and always have been an idiotic way to grade. If I'm hiring someone, I don't care how well they did in relation to their classmates. I care about whether or not they learned their material.
Scales above 4.0 (Score:4, Interesting)
In my high school, AP (Advanced Placement) courses were on a 5 point scale, not a 4 point scale; A = 5, B=3.75, C=2.5, etc. So even with a couple of Bs over the years, As in 3 AP classes brought my high school GPA to 4.05 .
I just don't know how to average in those 'unsatisfactory' grades for handwriting & behavior from kindergarden and grade school.

LUMBERTON — Students at Lumberton Junior High were probably happy to go home early on Wednesday, but residents on Marion Road who were without water for several hours likely had a different opinion of a broken valve on a water line.
According to Rob Armstrong, director of Public Works for Lumberton, the problem occurred when a crew with the Public Schools of Robeson County attempted to cut off water from a water line on Crandlemire Road to do maintenance work.
"School staff closed the valve to do work on the campus," Armstrong said. "But when they tried to open it back up, they did something wrong and broke the valve. At that point, we couldn't get it back up so the only thing we knew to do was to replace it."
Ronnie Campbell, a maintenance worker for the school system, said the problem started when he tried to turn the water back on after cutting it off.
"I turned off the valve, the gate went down. I turned it back on, the gate wouldn't rise back up," Campbell said.
Armstrong said maintenance crew turned off water at about noon and the water flow was not restored until about 3:30 p.m.
"We didn't have any choice but to cut water off on Marion Road," he said. "From N.C. 41 all the way back towards Starlight Drive, including First Baptist Church on Marion Road, and some of the residents there (were affected)."
According to Erica McComb, the principal at Lumberton Junior High School, an emergency phone message was sent to parents and students were released from school at 1 p.m.
Armstrong said the break in the water line affected the water supply to the school.
"It slowed pressure down to the facility and they didn't have pressure to work with," he said.
No other schools were affected.

Research Interests
Alopecia; Cutaneous lymphoma; Pathology informatics; Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy; Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis
Research Summary
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a disease marked by skin stiffening in the setting of a patient with kidney disease. The disease has been linked with MRI Contrast Agents. There is no evidence to suggest that patients without kidney disease can develop NSF.
Our laboratory investigates cases of possible NSF (examining clinical records and tissue slides) to try to confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed, we interview patients, conduct an investigation into medical records, and use the information to populate a database comparing all known patients with NSF verified in our laboratory. We use this information to guide medical, pharmaceutical, and government advisory personnel, and to guide further research into the cause of this mysterious disorder.
Our goal is to eradicate this dangerous (and sometimes deadly) condition, and to use the information to better understand fibrosis and wound healing in the hopes of impacting research on related conditions.
Extensive Research Description
My primary research interest is in the mechanism of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (formerly nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy). This is an emerging fibrosing disorder seen in patients with renal disease. Compelling epidemiological, microanalytical, and animal studies have linked the disease to the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) used in MRI imaging. Current thinking suggests these renally-excreted compounds are ineffectively removed in the renally-impaired, leading to a novel toxicity reaction. The findings manifest themselves most dramatically in the skin and soft-tissue of affected patients by increased production of matrix elements (collagen, elastin, mucin). These excess components reduce the flexibility and compliance of skin, leading to decreased range of motion in effected limbs. Questions currently being examined include effects in non-cutaneous tissues and factors that may contribute to a propensity to develop NSF (genetic, medical cofactors, other toxicities, etc).
Yale is home to the International NSF Registry, housing clinical records and pathology specimens from over 330 patients with NSF. This registry serves as a source of basic information for investigations into the clinical and histological aspects of NSF.
Yale is also the home base for a core of interested clinical and basic science researchers actively engaged in understanding all aspects of this unusual disease. Annually, this team hosts the Yale NSF Symposium, the largest gathering of its type on the topic of NSF in the world. The upcoming 4th annual symposium will take place at the New York Academy of Sciences on May 14/15, 2010.
Besides NSF, I am interested in cutaneous lymphomas and alopecias, and the appropriate use of histopathology in diagnosing these disorders.
My primary and preferred instructional tool is the networked computer. I have been involved with web-based pathology education for some time. My largest project is Pathmax, a web-based resource for pathology professionals currently accommodating 60,000 unique visitors per year from over 80 countries. I am also one of the cofounders of the Dermatopathology Master Class Series, a web-based streaming lecture series on topics of relevance in dermatopathology.

Son held in slaying of parents in Mequon
Mequon — The man arrested under suspicion of killing a husband and wife in an upscale Mequon neighborhood is the couple's son, police said Wednesday.
The Ozaukee County district attorney expects to bring charges Thursday against Dennis Markov, 20. He was being held Wednesday in the Ozaukee County Jail on two counts of intentional homicide and two counts of hiding a corpse.
Police said they were called to a house in the 3200 block of W. Fleur de Lis Drive at 2:38 p.m. Tuesday for a check on the welfare of Larissa Markov, 39, who had not shown up for work. The couple's son, who lived there, let officers into the house. They found the bodies of Larissa and her husband, Victor Markov, 45, in the garage.
Police immediately arrested the son.
"This appears to be an isolated incident, and there is no additional threat to our residents," Police Chief Steve Graff said in a news release.» Read Full Article
Goodwill opens new store in Brown Deer
Brown Deer —Goodwill Industries opened a 19,200-square-foot retail store and donation center in Brown Deer Friday morning.
Customers who attended the grand opening of the store at 9305 N. Green Bay Road received free reusable shopping bags, $5 gift cards and enjoyed live music. The store, which employs 45 employees, will make shopping and donating easier for customers in Brown Deer and throughout the North Shore. Prior to now, North Shore residents had to travel to Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls or Grafton.
Cheryl Lightholder, spokeswoman for Goodwill of Southeastern Wisconsin, said the organization is excited to make buying and donating easier for residents in Brown Deer and surrounding areas. Goodwill pays attention to the zip codes of its donors, which plays a factor into where Goodwill launches new stores and donation centers.
"We're very excited to be in that community because we don't have a presence there," Lightholder said. "We think the residents in that community will be happy to have a place to donate as well as to shop."
The revenue generated by Goodwill stores helps fund the organization's workforce development initiatives, including Goodwill Workforce Connection Centers, which offer free job search assistance, resume assistance, workshops on interviewing, access to computers and other technology, job boards and a regular schedule of employer recruitment sessions.
Germantown softball team edges Homestead, 1-0, for NSC crown
One swing of the bat by shortstop Morgan Brantley on a rainy May 14 evening effectively gave Germantown its fifth straight North Shore Conference girls softball title over archrival Homestead.
Though the efforts of motivated Germantown pitcher Michelle Moore six days later on May 20 were enormously helpful in making that home run by Brantley stand up in a 1-0 decision.
Rain held up the game in the bottom of the third on May 14 with Germantown nursing the lead earned by Brantley's laser beam of a home run to left in the bottom of the second.
"We had been anxious all week to get to this game," said Brantley. "We had a lead but we felt we had more runs in us. The funny thing was (about the pitch she hit) was that it was very inside but I got the bat around on it."

(Update: Alexandria Simon was found on Friday.)
Glendale — Police are asking for the public's assistance in locating a 13-year-old Glendale girl who has been missing since Monday.
Alexandria Simon is 5'1" and 120 pounds with brown eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a brown leather coat and brown boots, and was carrying a turquoise bag. She left her home sometime overnight by exiting through her bedroom window.
In past reported missing runaway cases she was located in the areas of West Good Hope Road at North Teutonia Avenue and North 82nd Street at West Hampton Avenue, which are both located in Milwaukee.
Tips from public lead Mequon police to gas station robbery suspect
Detectives from the Mequon Police Department have identified a suspect in a robbery Sunday at the Northshore Mobil, police said.
The suspect, who was identified from tips received from the public, is already in custody at the Manitowoc County Jail on unrelated charges, according to a news release. A request for charges regarding the Sunday robbery will be sent to the Ozaukee County district attorney's office early next week.
The station is at the corner of Port Washington and Mequon roads, near the Interstate 43 interchange.
Tips from the public also played a key role in the arrest of a suspect in the robbery of the Northshore BP in early March, police said.
A robbery on April 23 at the US Bank branch on N. Port Washington Road remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Mequon police at (262) 242-3500.
Sex offender housed in River Hills moving to Milwaukee facility
The only convicted sex offender in River Hills will soon have a new home, in Milwaukee.
Edward Fink, 66, had been living at a group home in River Hills last fall until he was found out of compliance with certain conditions and prosecutors moved to revoke his supervised release.
River Hills officials tried to intervene in Fink's case, saying that if he were re-released, he should not be allowed to return to Be's House of Hope II on Larkspur Lane because it is within 2,000 feet of a school. Fink's residence there, the village contended, would be in violation of an ordinance adopted last fall that limited where sex offenders may live within River Hills.
At a court hearing Monday, Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner approved a new placement plan for Fink, who has been at the Mendota Mental Health Institute since late last month.
This time, however, Fink will serve his supervised release at Be's House of Hope I, in Milwaukee, not the the same agency's adult group home in River Hills.» Read Full Article
MMSD to push for removal of Estabrook Park dam
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's commission agreed Monday to advocate for removal of the dam on the Milwaukee River at Estabrook Park in Glendale.
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele and County Board supervisors will be notified of the commission's approval of an advisory resolution in support of demolishing the county-owned dam rather than the more costly option of repairs and maintenance, district officials said.
The Milwaukee Common Council on May 12 approved a similar advisory resolution in support of removing the dam.
Removing the dam would reduce the risk of flood damage to upstream properties when river flows are extremely high, MMSD Executive Director Kevin Shafer said. One of the district's responsibilities is to reduce flooding of buildings along waterways within its regional service area.
Glendale Mayor Bryan Kennedy asked the commission to reject the resolution since the fate of the dam will be the subject of a five-day hearing in Milwaukee County Circuit Court beginning July 20.» Read Full Article
Fire at Shorewood apartment building likely caused by unattended candle
Shorewood — An unattended candle may have caused a fire at a Shorewood apartment building Wednesday afternoon.
A third-floor tenant in the apartment building at 4460 N. Oakland Ave. called 911 at 2:52 p.m. Wednesday to report smoke coming from the apartment across the hall. Fire and police were dispatched to the apartment, where they saw heavy smoke and fire coming from the window of a third floor apartment. Firefighters were able to bring their hoses up to the third floor and quickly extinguish the fire.
The building manager arrived on the scene, and helped contact the apartment's tenant, who was gone at the time of the fire. Fire officials believe the tenant left a candle burning unattended in the vicinity of window blinds and other combustible items.
North Shore Fire Department estimates $10,000 worth of damage was caused by the fire. There is extensive fire, smoke, and water damage to the kitchen area of the affected unit.

Mequon considers bait and kill approach to coyote problem
Mequon — Mequon city officials hope to solve the city's coyote problem with a nuisance permit from the Department of Natural Resources.
The city's protection and welfare committee unanimously voted Tuesday, May 12, to have city staff contact the DNR about a nuisance permit, which would allow for hunting and trapping of a select number of coyotes with the use of meat bait. Once city staff does further research and collects data about implementing the permit, the committee could decide to apply for the permit, with the request to make the permit transferable to residents. The committee's recommendation would then need to be approved by the common council.
The DNR has never issued a nuisance permit for coyotes, because year-round hunting and trapping of coyotes is already legal under state law. The nuisance permit, however, would allow hunters or trappers to bait coyotes with meat instead of attracting them with mating calls.
Alderman Mark Gierl, whose dog was killed by a coyote, said the easiest way to get rid of coyotes is to hire a bowhunter with a permit from the city. He said the city doesn't need to take on a large-scale culling program; shooting one or two coyotes will teach a lesson to the rest of the pack.
"You put an arrow in one or two from the pack, and they won't come back," he said.» Read Full Article
Glendale committee will investigate residential codes
Glendale —One of the things Glendale Mayor Bryan Kennedy heard during his recent mayoral campaign was a dissatisfaction with the city's code compliance process, which he said was overly burdensome and unequally enforced.
Kennedy said he has received about 40 complaints from homeowners about the city's code compliance process, and now that he is in the mayor's chair, he has formed a citizen's committee to examine the city's code requirements, and compare the code compliance process with other North Shore communities.
Several Glendale residents have been told to make improvements to bring their homes up to current building codes, even though the construction standards met building codes on the books at the time of construction. Kennedy said certain inspection items should be grandfathered in during the code compliance process.
"If you haven't renovated your kitchen in 20 years, we don't need to make you renovate your kitchen," Kennedy said.
Code compliance is a hot topic for homeowners and realtors, because inspectors often provide a long list of improvements that need to be made before the home is sold to its new owner. If a seller does not make the necessary improvements, the buyers must sign an agreement accepting responsibility for the list of repairs.» Read Full Article

Glendale police host prescription drug take back event

Brown Deer School Board weighing sale of former Algonquin School property
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer School Board is trying to decide whether it will sell the former Algonquin School property to facilitate the village's redevelopment efforts near 47th Street and Bradley Road.
Village officials pitched their redevelopment proposal to the school board Tuesday, May 12, with hopes that they will sell the 9-acre property so that it can be marketed for redevelopment along with the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer property to the north and the half-vacant Bradley West shopping center.
When RFP Commercial, the broker marketing the Bradley West shopping center, approached the village about their vision for the property, Community Development Director Nate Piotrowski saw an opportunity to pursue a larger redevelopment effort that includes the Algonquin School site, which has been vacant since it was demolished seven years ago, and the 3-acre Lighthouse site, which was recently acquired by the village to facilitate the assisted living center's move to a new building at 60th Street and Brown Deer Road.
Piotrowski said packaging the three sites together allows the property to be marketed by a single broker to a market of developers. Piotrowski said two developers have already expressed interest in the property.
Piotrowski showed school board members a schematic of how the property might be developed. He said 40 to 43 units of single-family or duplex housing could be constructed on the nine-acre Algonquin School property, with higher density housing available further north. The 55,000 square feet of commercial space available in the Bradley West shopping center would be replaced with a smaller commercial building — roughly 12,000 square feet — located closer to Bradley Road.» Read Full Article
Winter's not through with us yet
The old rule of thumb about not planting before Memorial Day may be proven tonight, as the National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory from midnight tonight to 7 a.m. Wednesday. Temperatures could drop into the low 30s. If you have plants outside, you may want to consider covering them or moving them inside.

clog slippers

i like them very comfotable
I buy for comfort + variety of colors.

from New York
I look for comfort and a variety of colors when I buy shoes and low cost as I don't believe in spending a lot on shoes so these fit the bill. They wash really well in the washing machine. The only thing I wish, would be that they would use a padding that would bounce back and last as you feel like your walking on the soles after awhile.

Great Fit & Great Price
By The Old Scotsman
from Ponchatoula, LA
My wife is really bad on slippers, so spending a lot of money on them is wasteful. I got her 2 pairs of these so she would have another pair "waiting in the wings". She loves them and says they are very comfortable, and fit perfectly.
i would buy these again!!

Our shipping department is closed until December 28 so that we can make holiday preparations and enjoy time with family and friends. You can go ahead and place orders, but they won't be processed until the shipping department is open again. We expect to check the computer daily unless our stormy weather interferes with internet access.
Barb's Teaching Help aims to bring you the best teaching materials and resouce books available for K-12 educators of all types, in homes and schools, at reasonable prices. We have a large variety to choose from, most still in print and new. These include workbooks, reproducible materials for classroom use, cassettes, CDs, curriculum materials, books that go with popular curriculums and just plain good books for reading aloud or for enrichment. This site was designed to offer a shopping cart experience to our customers who prefer shopping completely on line rather than having to communicate directly with a real person, but that communication is still an option here.
One of the best ways to make use of this site is to browse it by category. Sometimes the book you really need is one you haven't discovered yet. This site will be growing on a daily basis. We are trying to add our core subjects and critical thinking materials first, since they meet the needs of the largest number of people. But if you need something to add a little zing to your curriculum or want to get out of a rut, there's lots to find here to do the job.
At the present time (February 14, 2008) this web site has about 4,400 of our best selling titles and also some used books that are one of a kind. If you want to see a wider variety of materials and, perhaps, more details on some resources offered here, please visit our sister web site at http://www.barbsbooks.com.You cannot order electronically there, but you can still use the payment options we offer here by phone, email, or secure server. You just need to have some personal contact with us to receive your shipping costs and payment information. Some titles receive additional discounts for large volume. These titles have this noted in their descriptions.
Any of our titles are available to schools by purchase order. You might want to email me about that before faxing or mailing your regular purchase order form. Our minimum shipping change for any size purchase order is $4.10. If your purchase order contains less than ten books, estimate shipping as $4.10 for the first book and .50 for each additional book. For more than ten books, estimate shipping as 11% of the bill. I will adjust it downward if it is more than my normal shipping and handling costs. Priority shipping is more and to determine it, please contact me before submitting your purchase order. I can also ship UPS when requested and for 2-7 day shipping often use it instead of priority mail when cheaper if you don't need it in three days.
If you need a reproducible book immediately, you might want to visit our eBook store at http://www.ebookdestination.com/EBK5651 You will not only be able to get what you want immediately, but you will also have a larger selection and not pay any shipping. You will need to pay for eBooks on that site, not this one.
Terms of Sale:
If you want to use a coupon or promotion you found on our site at Merchant Circle, Twitter, a blog, barbsbooks.com or a magazine ad, put the promotion or coupon code in the section for "Comments" on the order form. The shopping cart total will not reflect the promotion, but we will apply the savings or free item when we process your order.
We sell through two different store names on this site with two separate shopping carts -- Barb's People Builders and Barb's People Builders Teaching Help. If you order books from both store names, we will automatically consolidate the shipment and the shipping fees, but it won't show on either shopping cart. The total will be less than the two cart totals put together -- usually by at least $2.00 for media mail. We accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. We also accept PayPal, personal checks drawn on United States banks, and international postal money orders. We do accept school purchase orders. If you'd like to place one, please press the CONTACT US button.
Be sure and specify with the drop down menu on the order page if you want expedited (Priority or air) shipping (average 2-3 days in USA). Media Mail is our default if you don't specify. Economy shipping within the U.S. is media mail (average 7-28 days). Don't order economy shipping if you must have the book within 30 days. You might get it in 7 days, but it could, in rare cases, take 30 days. I will not send a replacement until 30 days have passed without your order arriving. If you need your order quickly, please order priority shipping. My default rate for media mail is $4.46 for the first book. Sometimes additional books will also be shipped in the order without an increase in postage. It depends upon the weight. The shopping cart default is a few cents higher because it also has to cover the CA tax on shipping. Only California people (or those who order heavier than usual items) will pay the complete default shopping cart rates. My default rate for anything that will fit into a flat rate priority envelope is $6.00.. Sometimes more than one book will fit. Most priority orders of over 2 lbs will be charged $11.75 for as many books as will fit in a medium flat rate box, or $16.00 if your order requires a large flat rate box. If you order too much to fit in either box, I'll contact you with an exact rate and get your permission before I ship. Keep in mind that the shopping cart uses number of items, not weight, in its calculations. This will normally calculate more than I will really charge you. I can always lower a postage rate without having to delay the order by contacting you, but I can't raise the rate unless I get your permission. So the cart is almost always going to calculate too much. I do offer a 50% discount on shipping for additional books in an order after the first book. We will always get your authorization if the amount needs to be increased.
Please ask for quote by email for shipping on orders shipped outside of the United States. Our default rates are best guesses. Where possible, we use global priority flat rate envelopes. If it doesn't fit, I would have to weigh your item and send you a quote if the default rates are too low to cover it. Please keep in mind that the default rates are usually the same for air and surface. The reason for that is because surface rates no longer exist for international mail from the United States. But since tomfolio.com has sellers in other parts of the world whose postal systems still offer surface postage, it's still on our list of shipping choices. All orders must be paid for with United States dollars
We send a notification by email when your order is shipped that includes the exact amount your credit card was charged. If your package qualifies according to postage regulations, you will also receive your delivery confirmation tracking number by email. We cannot get delivery confirmation on orders going outside the United States or to military boxes going overseas. Occasionally, you will get a book before the tracking confirms the book was mailed. This is a glitch that indicates someone did not scan the book when it entered the system. It doesn't mean the book was not shipped. In 17 years I've only had one package that did not arrive at its destination.
We guarantee your satisfaction. If you get a book that is not as described, you may return it at our expense within 10 days of receipt for a full refund. We do ask that you contact us with the reason before you do this.
If the books you order do not meet your needs we will cheerfully refund the purchase price, but not the shipping, if you return the book in the same condition as you got it, within 10 days of receipt. Please contact us first with the reason for your return.
If your shipment was damaged, let us know and we will make arrangements for return or discount, according to your desires. Please email for return authorization within ten days of receiving the book.
If you have questions about any book, we encourage you to contact us by email for further information before ordering. Whenever appropriate, we use recycled boxes and packing materials, if available.
Although we are trying to delete books from our inventory as they are sold, occasionally computer glitches or a rush on a specific title can make it necessary to backorder, if book is still in print, or cancel the order if it is no longer available. . A backorder will normally be shipped about 7 - 14 business days later than if a book is in stock. We will notify you within 24 hours if a title you want is not in stock and give you the approximate time it will take for it to come in. Your credit card is never charged until the book is being processed for shipment within 24 hours. If backorders are unacceptable to you, please indicate this in the space provided for comments when you place your order. Also, if you need more copies of a book than appear to be available, please email me with the number you need. I may have more copies than show up on the shopping cart, or if the book is in print I may be able to order as many as you need. Feel free to email me by clicking the contact dealer button to check availability.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - So you think you can sing? Come let us hear you as Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie is hosting its 18th annual National Anthem auditions on Tuesday, February 18 from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. (weather permitting). Soloists, duos, groups, choirs and instrumentalists are invited to try out for a chance to sing the National Anthem during one of Lone Star Park's 50 live racing dates in 2014. The auditions will be held outdoors in close proximity to the winner's circle, and performers will be shown and recorded on the racetrack's infield Daktronics Screen. Contestants will have two minutes to perform their version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" – a cappella for vocalists – and will be judged by Lone Star Park officials. Walkups are welcome, but performers are encouraged to reserve an appointment by calling Lone Star Park at (972) 263-RACE. There are 50 live dates in 2014, so there are potentially 50 spots available. Aspiring performers are urged to memorize the lyrics, keep their performance under two minutes and be prepared for a sound delay from the public address system. Those chosen to sing the National Anthem on a live race day will be notified by telephone and letter prior to the start of the Spring Thoroughbred season (usually two-to-three weeks after the audition). Each person selected to perform will receive box seats for four to that day's live racing program. Lone Star Park is located one half-mile north of Interstate 30 off Belt Line Road at 1000 Lone Star Parkway in Grand Prairie – 12 miles west of Dallas and 20 miles east of Fort Worth (enter through Parking Gate 5 and proceed to the Grandstand's East Gate entrance). For more information, call 972-263-7223 or log on to www.LoneStarPark.com. Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie, is a Class I racetrack operated by Texas Partners LSP and GG LSP. The track's 50-day, 2014 Spring Thoroughbred Season begins Thursday, April 10. For more information on Lone Star Park visit www.LoneStarPark.com or follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
Lone Star Park is also home to the multi-million dollar simulcast racebook, sports bar and event venue, Bar & Book. The 36,000 square foot venue is open to the public 363 days a year.

It's not just about spending!
Wednesday - 7/3/2013, 2:00am EDT
(Senior Correspondent Mike Causey is on vacation)
Most politicians say they want a leaner, more efficient government. That they want to eliminate waste and duplication. Many of them actually mean it, unless it comes to a program or facility based in their home state or congressional district.
Today's guest column is by a former fed who saw many efforts to curtail spending during his long government career. He says spending isn't the only problem:
"Over and over, every day, we hear legislators and political pundits say "Spending is the problem" and "We need to control our spending", and that has translated into cutting programs and/or pay and benefits for active and retired feds.Marc Harris is the President of eNARFE Florida, a Realtor, and CEO of Marc Harris & Associates in Windermere, Fla.
When are the supposed grownups going to start talking about looking for operational efficiencies? Plenty of examples abound. For instance, I was a manager in HUD's Multifamily Property Disposition Program which, at one time, owned and managed over 450 properties around the country. It was operated in about 47 offices. Some offices had dozens of properties, some had one. For many offices, they were in charge of less that a half dozen properties at any given time, some with only one or two. As such, their processing times were among the worst in the country. In a program where time was money, a change was needed, but I was told such a change was impossible.
Those who know me know that I do not easily take "no" for an answer when I think there is a more efficient way to operate. I evaluated the situation, and recommended we consolidate and centralize the program into two offices. Much to my amazement, upper management agreed. We had a competition for the offices that would be those two, and implemented the consolidation. As a result, we reduced the number of staff needed to run the program in the field from over 150 to about 60 at the time. The staff no longer assigned to the program were reassigned to other programs where their skills could be better utilized.
As a result of the consolidation, processing times, holding costs, and the inventory was greatly reduced. And recently, due to the continued decrease in workload, the program has been further consolidated into only one office.
The model we launched back then was used as a model in several other programs, and I am sure it could be used in thousands more programs. In fact, HUD recently announced a consolidation of its Multifamily Housing Program.
Leave our pay and benefits alone; savings will evolve by running a tighter ship!

TSP takes a tumble in June
It's starting out to be a cruel summer for the Thrift Savings Plan. After a roaring stock market boosted gains throughout the spring, every TSP fund - with the exception of the ever-reliable government-securities G Fund - finished last month in negative territory, according to new data from the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.
DoD to managers: Don't use military, contractors to offset civilian furloughs
New guidance from the Pentagon admonishes Defense managers not to attempt to blunt the impact of impending civilian furloughs by shifting their workload onto military members or to contractor employees. Likewise, under the terms of the memo, signed Friday by Frederick Vollrath, DoD's assistant secretary for readiness and force management, managers are barred from requiring civilians to work longer hours on their regular work days in order to make up for the work they'll miss while they're furloughed.
Hiring reforms thriving despite freezes, early out
The Chief Human Capital Officers Council is trying to jump start an effort to further improve how agencies hire new employees across government. Despite the fact that many agencies face or are under a hiring freeze, the CHCO Council will meet next week to hear recommendations for phase two of the governmentwide effort to improve the hiring process, said Jeri Buchholz, NASA's assistant administrator for human capital management and CHCO.

New Years' resolutions for G-men and women
Wednesday - 1/2/2013, 2:00am EST
Resolved: In addition to losing 25 pounds, learning French or Spanish and brushing up on the trumpet last blown during the Ford administration, I am also going to ace my next job evaluation, which comes up in mid-December.
I did all right this time, else you wouldn't be reading this. But as you get older, you get more nervous. Hence my top resolution for 2013 deals with job satisfaction.
I am borrowing from an old friend from The Washington Post. Each year he would come up with a series of resolutions. But he'd always lead with: "I promise to be less sincere!" (I think he was a cynic, but you can learn from anyone and everyone. And I have.)
In my case, when the boss asks me what my greatest job-related weakness is, where I am most at fault, I plan to reply:
"My primary flaw is that I care too much. I want to do the best job possible and be a model employee. I care so much that it distracts me from other parts of the normal workday. Things like taking a well-deserved break. Maybe making a personal phone call. No, not for me. While my colleagues are checking their Facebook accounts, texting (news sources?) or telling about the weekend's adventures, there I am work, work, work. If my dedication wrecks my health, even kills me, so what? I die happy!"
I am going to dab my eyes a little as I lash myself for my biggest (and by implication only flaw.) I'm thinking sympathy, appreciation and maybe a big raise.
That's my master plan for success in 2013.
If you have any resolutions, thoughts or job-related survival tips, please share them. You can email me at email@example.com.
Using the wisdom of the crowd, we may all prosper.
But remember the I-care-to-much line is mine!
Best date to retire
For FERS employees thinking about when to retire, 2013 is a very special year. Picking the best date could save them thousands of dollars in taxes and boost the value of their unused annual leave. So what is the best date (or dates) to retire? Short answer: It depends. But some are much better than others.
That's one of the subjects of today's special radio show Your Turn/For Your Benefit. FYB hosts Bob Leins and Tammy Flanagan and myself talk about 2012, the new year and some very important changes for federal workers and retirees. Listen if you can (1500 AM or online). To reach me, firstname.lastname@example.com

They all share the dubious honor of making the 38th annual "List of Word to be Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness" compiled by Michigan's Lake Superior State University.

The Banshee Amp was designed to be a light, tight, and strong dirt jump bike. Banshee had their sponsored dirt jump riders test several variations of the frame and figured out the geometry. They kept the chainstays short and the front of the bike low by using an integrated headset, which makes the bike feel really flickable in the air, and is easy to throw into corners and pump through sections. Banshee used internally ribbed seat and chainstays to keep the frame stiff and predictable. By removing material where stresses were low, the frame stayed super light weight. The Banshee Amp has a high strength to weight ratio.

We're all about girl power here at Teen Vogue, but that doesn't mean we can't cop some style from the boys. The spring runways were filled tons of menswear-inspired looks we loved. As per Mary Kate, "We saw men's shirting and classic pajama textiles reworked into womenswear. At times, this was pieced and patch-worked. At others, it was reinterpreted and twisted." The options produced are seemingly endless: shirt dresses, bustier tops, cotton nightshirts, suiting, and polished pencil skirts.
How can you make this look work for you? To test-drive the trend, we tapped NYU senior Claire Knebl. The 21-year-old was styled by Mary Kate in a texture-filled outfit with a spring-friendly palette and killer accessories. If you ever thought girly tomboy was an oxymoron, you're about to be proven very, very wrong.

Women's Soccer Blanked by Lenoir-Rhyne 1-0
October 27, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Rebecca Lin (Northridge, GA) tallied the only goal in the 18th minute as the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears topped the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons 1-0 in non-conference womens soccer on Tuesday afternoon at a soggy N.E. Lefko Field. The win moves the Bears overall record to 13-6 while the Lady Falcons 10-5-3.
Lenoir-Rhyne outshot Pfeiffer 15-7 in the sloppy conditions. Elizabeth Hawes (Valdese, NC) had three of the five L-R shots in the first half while Pfeiffer put both attempts on goal, only to have Bears keeper Katelyn Burwell (Carthage, NC) turn both away. In the 18th minute, Marianne Broevik (Drammen, NORWAY) sent a pass to Lin who found the back of the net taking that 1-0 lead to the half.
The Lady Falcons added five more shots in the second but had zero on goal. Late in the period, Megan Reaves (Mims, FL) blasted one of her three shots on the day just high. Hawes ended up with six shots, two on net, while Burwell made two saves in the shutout.
The Lady Falcons will wrap up the 2009 season on Saturday afternoon in the final Conference Carolinas match before next weeks tournament. Pfeiffer will host Lees-McRae on senior day at 3:00 p.m.

A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest (living organisms that occur where they are not wanted or that cause damage to crops or humans or other animals). Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide also applies to herbicides, fungicides and various other substances used to control pests (insects, mice and other animals, weeds, fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.).
By their very nature, most pesticides create some risk of harm; they can cause harm to humans, animals or the environment because they are designed to kill or otherwise adversely affect living organisms. Biologically-based pesticides, such as pheromones and microbial pesticides, are becoming increasingly popular and often are safer than traditional chemical pesticides. (Source: EPA / Photo: Flickr)
