That's more like it. I looked at Wednesday's, wanted simplicity, couldn't quite work out how to crop. This is perfect. A little floating world.
Oh yes, I think I can hear the sound (melody) of this waveform. Would look wonderful in big on the wall of a sound-studio.
Simple? I think there's quite a lot going on here...very carefully proportioned and composed, with the spreading ripples and reflected lead-in lines all taking us to the centre. Your waveform fizzes on its axis, crucially hanging just outside, creating a tension that enables movement. The reflection itself suggests an immensity, with the reeds being drawn slowly towards some imagined galactic centre.
It also reminds me of the high-speed capture of a speeding bullet....
( being fired, it would seem, through porridge )
I love the creative feel, the reeds seemingly suspended!
I don't need to know what it means Dougie - it's just a beautiful image with great light on the reeds.
It is too early in the day Dougie for my brain to take in the technicalities of waveform.
Besides,you do not make it clear if you mean composite waveforms or a combination
of other sinusoidal waveforms added together ?
A good shot.
But please be more specific in your narratives in future !!
Lovely light and a really well-composed image which is more than the sum of its parts, if you know what I mean.
The bokeh is like an explosion surrounding the grasses, a shock wave.
A marvellous use of the light, you have worked out the viewpoint creatively.
What a beautiful image Dougie. I like the abstract quality here.
Very nice Dougie. A photographer's eye evident in this image. Something beautiful created from the play of light on a ordinary scene.
Many Thanks Paul, I'm beginning to get my head around the different focusing and viewfinder systems,a huge difference from the Canon system we're both used to.
Thanks Again.

I'm not frustrated the scale isn't moving for me. I'm frustrated because I can't seem to get my calorie intake under control. Thanks to this website I've got my calorie intake down from an average of 4500 a day to about 3200-3300. I'm having a hard time cutting out an extra 1000 calories.
I guess I should be grateful that I'm aware that I'm over eating, I shouldn't be eating what I am and that I know I'm a stress eater. I just don't know how to take the next step.
I'm also frustrated I haven't been able to walk our dog much lately. I owe it to her, I know I do. She looks at me with her big, brown innocent eyes so full of love for me and I feel bad for not walking her.
I have bad, dry cracked feet. Once in a while I get a really bad crack in my feet from them being so dry I can barely hobble around let alone walk her. The last week I've been dealing with a bad crack in the side of my left foot. It's healing, it's getting better. Thanks to Vaseline and socks.
Yesterday was the first day in several days it hurt like heck but I was able to make it with her to the school that's across the street from us, walked her to the ally behind our home and back home. Not as far as I normally take her but at least I got her out. The kick ass cold snap we're heaving right now isn't helping either.
She seems happy when I walk her. She doesn't like to play with toys (except if you count eating water bottles) and she's pretty much a lounging couch potato dog. Loves snuggles, cuddles, back scratches, belly rubs and being talked to about anything and everything.
So I'm hoping this dang crack in the bottom of my foot heals up so I can start walking her 2-3 times a day. We both need it.

Tourna Poly Big Hitter Blue Rough 17g / PerforMAXX WhisperTouch
As stated in the TurboTwist portion, this was more difficult. I've strung many textured poly strings: geared ones, shaped ones, extruded ones and twisted ones. BHBR is of the twisted type. This string has just stupid coil memory and is very prone to kinking. I honestly cannot imagine untangling it from a single packet since it put up such a fight coming off of a reel. By far the most difficult poly I've used in this thread. Doesn't hold a candle to any of the ALU strings, but compared to BHB, it's ridiculous. Strung 53/55, 10% machine prestretch on gut.
Ah, finally time to review the forum's hype string of the moment, so I'll spend quite a bit of time on this one. If it were any other color, you wouldn't be able to tell it apart from Tornado or Cyber Twirl visually. However, when hitting, you can. Let me get this out of the way immediately: I do not tend to buy into hyper profiled strings offering great spin. This string, however, does not fall into that category after all. It's profiled, yes, but not nearly as much as some of the others.
Now, onto the review. Those of you who have played with BHB will be disappointed as this does not play anything like it. As I stated briefly earlier, this string gives you great spin potential, BUT, it is NOT anything spectacular. This is no holy grail string, in my opinion. Power is not an issue; I would put it at average for polys. Spin is indeed above average, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the RSI's claim of it being the be all end all of spin strings. Not even close. It is relatively comfortable from the baseline though, and has a very unique crispness to it that reminds me of Silverstring, but with more spin albeit less control.
On the FH side, shotmaking is a breeze. You won't be pulling off any impossible feats, but the string has good feel and lets you have confidence in swinging out. On the BH side....
Without question, this was my favorite string to date for hitting my backhand with. The sound that this thing makes rivals that of Tour Bite. If you make solid contact, you will swear a gun went off. The ball comes in incredibly heavy which is very academic because I hit with more spin on my forehand, but more power on my 1HBH. I guess something this string lends itself to my 1HBH perfectly. Slices are very easy to control, and if you Steffi Graf it and step really hard into the ball, you'll hit a great shot pretty much every time.
Mediocre at best. My serve is my favorite stroke since I've worked the hardest on it, and there is absolutely nothing about this string that blew me away. Hitting flat serves is really only its strong point because it sounds a lot bigger than it is. Second serves don't kick up as much as you might expect and slices aren't deadly like some people seem to think. Now, I've been told that I've got a fairly mean slice serve, and this string did nothing to make it furious, so to speak. Still, it's controllable, but doesn't take anything to the next level.
Now, this is interesting to talk about because BHBR doesn't really have much feel at the net, but it does feel very lively. As I said in the groundstrokes section, it has this strange ability to take an incoming ball and let you do what you want with it as far as
is concerned. As far as control, not so much. You don't get that much directional control compared to some of the other strings I've played with, and touch shots are simply average. It's not an overpowered string, so you won't be blasting things long or wide like with Turbotwist, but you won't be Sampras or Rafter up there.
Being textured, this didn't really rip the gut apart like I was expecting it to. Honestly, throughout the past 30+ pages of playtesting, I've found that the smooth polys do more damage, and hence are displacing more than anything textured. Tourna strings tend to be very durable, but hold tension just averagely. Time would have to tell, so I'll keep this one in my bag to see how it progresses.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's that. I didn't find Jesus descending from the rafters and guiding my shots around two courts like some people think that they experience with this stuff. Would I use it again? No, but that's just because I've found better offerings for me. Would I recommend it to others? Absolutely, since it's good stuff and everyone deserves to see if it's the holy grail for them. For me? Nothing extraordinary. It is, honestly, just a very good string, but nothing that makes you want to jump and shout about. At least, I don't want to. Then again, I'd look like a complete prat if I did that and wasn't a pro player.
Overall: 9/10

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire Blinn College family, I am pleased to welcome you to Blinn College. For 131 years, Blinn has offered high-quality, affordable educational opportunities in a uniquely personalized and friendly atmosphere.
The premier two-year college in Texas, Blinn College has one of the nation's highest percentages of students who transfer to and graduate from top universities (exceeding the state average by more than 20 percent!), and has earned national recognition for its affordable educational excellence and its commitment to community service and civic responsibility.
Blinn has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest accolade an educational institution can receive from the federal government for its commitment to service and civic engagement, five of the last seven years, and received Carnegie Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching. That honor places Blinn among the top five percent of colleges and universities in the nation.
Blinn has been recognized as one of the most affordable large community colleges in the nation. In 2014-15 alone, Blinn students who take 30 credit hours will save approximately $4,000 in tuition compared to the average Texas public university (48.8 percent). We also offer more than 220 endowed scholarships.
And while we're one of the most widely-recognized community colleges in the state of Texas, we continue to explore innovative opportunities to help you succeed. Beginning in Fall 2015, we are introducing a new initiative, "Destination Success: First-Year Focus," in which we will use learning communities to help first-year college students make the transition from high school through learning communities that give each student a strong support system as they adapt to a college workload.
With a focus on students and teaching excellence, Blinn offers a robust and modern variety of academic transfer courses, health science programs, workforce training and continuing education classes for almost 20,000 students. We serve students throughout a 13-county district that encompasses four unique campuses in Bryan, Brenham, Schulenburg and Sealy, and our flexible online programs allow you to study from anywhere in the world.

IBM, Microsoft strike e-mail archiving deal

HP aims to regain the storage high groundApril 25, 2006
States struggling to deal with digital documentsApril 25, 2006
As part of a co-marketing agreement, IBM will offer an archiving service bundled with Windows Server.
The offering revolves around IBM's CommonStore e-mail archiving solution, its System Storage Archive Manager software and its System Storage disk storage system. It is intended to help organizations store e-mail in the most appropriate format. IBM offers a tiered system of storage across both disk and tape.
The volume of corporate e-mail has quadrupled in five years, according to analyst group IDC, with sales of e-mail-archiving solutions projected to reach $1 billion in 2010.
IBM says demand for archiving is led by the need for operational efficiency, business continuity and the need to recover e-mails in the event of legal action.
"We're confident that this agreement will expand both companies' reach in the e-mail archiving space," said IBM's storage vice president Kristie Bell.
"Unlike certain solutions offered by competitors, this solution enables customers to deploy their archiving solution on a Windows platform instead of introducing other operating-system environments to manage," Bell added.
IBM has already integrated its e-mail archiving solutions with Lotus Notes.
The company could not confirm whether it had similar partnerships or agreements for open-source operating systems.
The Microsoft-IBM bundle will be launched in the first quarter of 2007 with a list price starting at $53,000. IBM will supply additional professional services.
Richard Thurston of ZDNet UK reported from London.

These beastly sets of horns are the pride of the railroad. Almost every freight train in the USA boasts one on top of its locomotive. The sound is iconic; if you've heard a train barelling down its tracks blowing its horn along the way, then you've heard these in action.
Now these horns in question are the exact same, but have been used and returned by another horn fanatic such as yourself. They're still insanely loud and one of the best deals on our website!
All used Nathan horns have been returned to us by our customers and have been inspected. They are bead blasted if they are excessively dirty and tested at 120 PSI. THESE ARE NOT PERFECT HORNS. We make sure they are in working condition, but any wear and tear from use will still be present.
This is quite possibly the loudest thing we have ever heard! The 5 aluminum kettle-drum bells and dual-disk diaphragms produce the loudest, clearest, locomotive horn sound possible! They sound with as little as 60 PSI
These horns are amazingly loud and will stay that way for years! Constructed of a die-cast manifold and bells with pre tuned single piece bell housings the K5LA is one of the most durable horns built. It features a patented double-disk stainless steel diaphragm that eliminates the typical pitch drop experienced in most air horns. This is a one of a kind sound in the air horn industry and makes this horn one of the most stunning horns around!
The 5 bells of the K5LA can be easily reversed for signaling in both directions and provide many installation possibilities! The aluminum finish is easily polished or powder coated for year of good looks and great sounds.
The finish of these horns may vary. Some are painted, some are bare metal. If you have a preference, please email (firstname.lastname@example.com, or call us at +1 (813) 783-8058.
These horns are being sold AS-IS. They may include imperfections.
This horn does *not* come with a valve. You must either purchase or supply a valve in order to operate this horn with your air system.
Use this product in a safe and responsible manner, at a distance of at aleast 100 feet from others.
Proper Hearing protection must be worn when using this airhorn. Hearing loss or permanent damage may result from unsafe use.

ECHL Game Night 11/4: Texas @ MississippiSubmitted by timothy on November 5, 2007 - 10:26
Went to the fridge this morning to get some milk for my cereal, and saw Kvapil, Smolenak, and Hrdel's pictures on the side of the carton. I'm sure the Sea Wolves management must be going back through the team files to make sure they really did sign an affiliation agreement with the Lightning this summer. Perhaps it was just a bad dream.
After seven Mississippi games, I would considering posting the Lightning ECHL stats so far, if there were any stats to report. One word: pathetic. I can only apologize to the good fans of the Gulfport and Biloxi area. But my apologies certainly aren't going to help wins games unfortunately. But Kvapil and Smolenak could certainly help win games. Alas.
Mississippi now off to a 1-6 start after a 4-0 shutout by the Texas Wildcatters on Sunday.

There may, however, be times when you want to eat out... 'Mambo's' is a casual poolside grill where you can get snacks throughout the day. You can even have pizzas delivered to you in your villa! 'Tradewinds' lakeside restaurant serves buffet breakfasts and alfresco lunches. The dinner menu is extremely varied and we're sure there's something for the most discriminating palate! Need a drink? There are two poolside bars and the 'Tradewinds' cocktail bar, offering weekly activities (Karaoke), happy hour and live entertainment.
Dining Options Off-Site: If you wish to try some local establishments, 'Orlando Ale House' boasts the best for daily specials on food and drink! Or for the family with varied tastebuds, 'Golden Corral' is a good inexpensive buffet. These are just a few of the various establishments found in the vicinity, from pizza to sushi..
This is Chris and Nicole from Toronto, Canada! We are both professionals working in competing high-tech companies. When we aren't working, we enjoy spending time with friends and family and, of course, travelling to somewhere warm!
Chris and Nicole purchased this villa in 2010
We decided early on that we wanted a home in Florida for our future retirement and to enjoy during our time-off while we were working. We visited over 30 properties in the Orlando area, and while each one had some unique characteristics that we liked, only Bahama Bay hit the mark for us.
Located on over 70 acres of land, the resort is truly that - a resort. The buildings are all offset, so you aren't looking into your neighbour's windows. There are pools and tennis courts and barbecues and walking trails and a fitness centre and a sauna and... well, Bahama Bay just had it all. When you settle in, even though you are about 10 minutes from Disney, you feel a world away.
All of the villas at Bahama Bay are great, but what makes our unit just a bit more unique than the others is LOCATION.
Our villa overlooks the central pond whose fountain is lit at night. Our screened balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy an early breakfast or a late-night book. We are literally a two minute walk along a lighted path to the main Club House with oversized pool, fitness centre, hot tubs and children's splash pad, Two minutes across the parking lot will take you to the resort's barbecue area and children's playground.
We are at the centre of the action, and as our realtor always tells us - LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION.
I hope you will have a chance to share our unique piece of paradise in the midst of the hustle and bustle that is Orlando.
Wow. Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. Even though we had the opportunity to see this unit before we rented it and to meet Chris and Nicole, it was even better than what we remembered. Stunning really is a good word to describe this penthouse!! It was so spacious and the location was perfect for us. Close to everything but quieter which was great. We loved the balcony and enjoyed the view while we ate our meals. The pools were wonderful and there were always loungers available. The service was amazing and the staff were very helpful and kind. We will be staying here whenever we go back to Florida. Thanks Chris for your quick communications with us as well. You were the most helpful renter and made our planning so easy.
Our first time to Florida and our first time staying away from home for a month. This condo exceeded our expectations! Clean, modern and very comfortable it now feels like our second home. The master is huge and the other two bedrooms are quite big as well. The resort is peaceful with four pools and hot tubs which we enjoyed as often as we could. The restaurant on site, The Tradewinds had great service and good food and drinks. There's a great golf course down the road near the Publix and of course Disney! I can hardly wait to go back.
The property is well maintained and looks great! There are a number of heated pools and hot tubs. The penthouse villa is very spacious with a beautiful master suite and bathroom and another full bath between the other two bedrooms. The enclosed porch is great for unwinding and hanging out after a full day. The villa is very charming and you have no problem getting comfortable quickly. We will be back.
The property was in very good condition in an ideal location for the parks and golf courses. It was overlooking the lake and you could see the main swimming pool from the veranda.It was the first time in 12 years of visiting the area we had stayed in an apartment and I would recommend this place to any of my friends
This was our first vacation to Florida and after staying at this platinum penthouse villa, it will be difficult to fine another to match the amenities, quality, location etc. Much to our delight, all was as described and frankly, exceeded our expectations. Bright, spacious, well appointed, clean, quiet, it was a true delight to stay at Chris's penthouse. This is a Windham Resort and Spa complex, friendly, helpful staff, well managed & maintained. Indeed this Villa deserves our 5 Star rating. We were fortunate to meet with Chris while he and his wife were in Florida which was a bonus for us as he provided a lot of good information. I only hope we have the opportunity to book again next year. Thanks for everything Chris!
We have stayed at a lot of condos, by far this was the best! Very clean, the bedrooms were very large and well stocked with everything you will need. The resort had everything, close to the pools and other amenities were just steps away. Close to Disney, outlets and shopping. Everything was very easy to get too! We have already booked for 2015
Our villa is set within the Bahama Bay Resort amidst 70 acres of lush landscaped grounds on the shores of Lake Davenport in central Florida. Just minutes away from local stores, 10min from Walt Disney World Resort, 20min from Seaworld Orlando and 30min from Universal Orlando Resort and downtown Orlando. Other nearby attractions include shopping malls, outlet stores and five 18-hole golf courses. You can also swim with the dolphins, visit wildlife preserves, ride in a hot air balloon and even schedule a visit to the Kennedy Space Centre. Bahama Bay Resort lies near the intersection of US-27 and US-192. It is a 40min drive from Orlando International airport and a 90min drive from Orlando Sanford International airport.
Other Activities: Basketball, beach volleyball, billiards, darts, video arcade, kids splash pad, table tennis.

A buyer of mine messaged me that he has bought a business card of mine with a regular license. He told me that he wants to "have some with a phone number and some without." What he wants to know is if he need to buy a single regular license or two regular license?
I think if both ways are used just for his own firm or personal purposes or a single client, in short just for a single project, then it'll be ok with a single regular license. But just to remain on the safer side, I'd like to ask you guys about what you think is appropriate.
Go for Single License.

Marqueece Harris-Dawson
President and CEO
Marqueece Harris-Dawson has been a leader in the South Los Angeles community for more than 20 years leading important social justice campaigns aimed at improving the quality of life for all African American and Latino residents in the community.
As President and CEO of Community Coalition, Harris-Dawson has been deeply involved and committed to the organization's mission, working arduously to improve the social and economic conditions in South Los Angeles that lead to crime, violence, substance abuse and poverty.
Harris-Dawson came to the helm of Community Coalition in 2004 following years as a community organizer, leader and director – leading some of the organization's first major education justice victories. Founded in 1990 by now-Congresswoman Karen Bass and a group of activists, the Community Coalition is best known for leading nationally recognized grassroots campaigns that include groundbreaking nuisance abatement work to close over 150 liquor stores and educational justice campaigns to transform the quality of public education.
In the 1990s, Harris-Dawson served as the director of the Community Coalition youth project, South Central Youth Empowered Through Action (SCYEA), leading the Proposition Better Buildings campaign to expose the poor conditions at South Los Angeles high schools. Arming youth with disposable cameras to document the poor conditions of their schools, and training them to advocate for badly needed repairs at their campuses, Harris-Dawson helped students win $153 million in school repairs in 1999. Recently, Harris-Dawson led the concerted efforts of the African American Redistricting Collaborative (AARC) to ensure that African Americans had a voice in the California redistricting process.
In addition to his work at the Community Coalition, Harris-Dawson has extensive experience in electoral politics, and is a key participant in the progressive movement in Los Angeles. During his time completing a Bachelor's degree at Morehouse College, Harris-Dawson became active with several important social justice issues of the time, including organizing in the international movement to end South African Apartheid, fighting against police brutality, and working to bring more youth and family services to those who needed them the most.
Along with a host of board and committee posts, Harris-Dawson has been recognized with several community commendations, recognitions and awards including the coveted Do Something "BRICK" Award and Liberty Hill Foundation's Upton Sinclair Award. Harris-Dawson was recently honored with The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF) Sabbatical Program Award. He holds a certificate in non-profit management from Stanford's Graduate School of Business and is a currently an Aspen Institute Fellow for New Leaders.

Exploring a 'Lost' Mycenaean City
Along an isolated, rocky stretch of Greek shoreline, a Florida State University researcher and his students are unlocking the secrets of a partially submerged, "lost" harbor town believed to have been built by the ancient Mycenaeans nearly 3,500 years ago.
"This is really a remarkable find," said Professor Daniel J. Pullen, chairman of FSU's Department of Classics. "It is rare indeed to locate an entire town built during the Late Bronze Age that shows this level of preservation."
Pullen and a colleague, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies Thomas F. Tartaron of the University of Pennsylvania, led students from both universities in conducting an initial study of the site during May and June of 2007. What they found was unique: an archaeological site that required very little digging.
"Because of soil erosion and tectonic subsidence" — the latter induced by earthquakes along the numerous local faults — "much of the soil had already been stripped from the site," Pullen said. "So the architectural remains of about 20 acres of closely built structures were plainly visible."
Although more than three millennia of earthquakes and other factors have collapsed the structures, what remains are the buildings' foundations, walls that in some places still stand nearly 5 feet tall, and a number of clues as to the settlement's construction and purpose.
"All of the structures were laid out in a grid pattern, which suggests that the entire community was planned and then built all at once, rather than piecemeal," Pullen said. "This would indicate that the settlement was built with some strategic purpose — perhaps as a military or naval outpost."
The settlement, referred to as Korphos-Kalamianos by Pullen and Tartaron, rests on the shores of the Saronic Gulf in the western Aegean Sea about 60 miles to the southwest of the Greek capital, Athens. Directly across the gulf, the ancient city-state of Kolonna on Aigina likely was a rival of the emerging city-state of Mycenae, which sits about 40 miles inland to the west, during the period between 1400 and 1200 B.C. when Korphos-Kalamianos was built.
"We have identified some fortification walls with gates on the inland side of Korphos-Kalamianos, which does suggest that the town had at least some role as a fortress, possibly to protect the harbor," Pullen said.
Pullen and Tartaron's 2007 work involved conducting a systematic study of the architectural remains at Korphos-Kalamianos and producing an accurate map of their location using Global Positioning System and other high-tech instruments. This summer, they plan to return to the site with more students (five FSU graduate students and two alumni will make the trip) to conduct underwater research along the shoreline.
"We don't know exactly why, but some portion of the settlement is now submerged in the Saronic Gulf," Pullen said. "We can say that in the Bronze Age the configuration of the coastline at Kalamianos was very different from that of today. So this summer, we plan to collaborate with Greece's department of underwater antiquities on a bathymetric survey of the shallow waters around the Korphos region that should clarify aspects of the Bronze Age coastline." (Bathymetry is the measurement of the depths of oceans, seas or other large bodies of water.)
Pullen and Tartaron have named their three-year undertaking the Saronic Harbors Archaeological Research Project, or SHARP, and shared their initial findings at a meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America in Chicago in January. SHARP has received financial support from several groups, including the Institute for Aegean Prehistory, the Loeb Classical Library Foundation, the Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation, FSU and the University of Pennsylvania.

Five women freedom fighters of Belgaum district felicitated
Belgaum: Gandhi Jayanti was a special day in Belgaum this year. Women freedom fighters, who walked along with their male counterparts during the freedom struggle, were not only remembered but also honoured on Thursday.
Five women freedom fighters from Belgaum district — Vasundhara Potdar, Shantabai Daded, Kamtayi Vithal Rao Kadam, Laxmibai Vishwanath Arajkar and Shantabai Deshpande — were honoured at a function organised by the Karnataka Pradesh Mahila Congress at Veersoudha — the venue of the historic Congress session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi in 1924 on Congress Road in the city.
Replying to the felicitation,. Ms. Potdar felt that Gandhian values had become more relevant for the contemporary society, which was dogged by terrorism, communal violence and other social evils. She pointed out that Mahatma Gandhi had worked for empowerment of women while leading the freedom struggle. In fact, that was continuation of twelfth century revolutionary Basaveshwara's endeavour towards socio-economic and cultural uplift of women. She paid rich tributes to other freedom fighters such as the former Prime Minister the late Lal Bahadur Shastri whose simplicity and truthfulness need to be emulated by the present generation of politicians.
KPMC State general secretary Laxmi Chandrashekhar stressed that it was not enough to celebrate Gandhi Jayathi as "International Non-Violence Day." Nations and governments need to strive hard to make non-violence a way of every day life.
The function was presided over Belgaum District Congress President S.S. Bhimmannavar. Office-bearers of district and city units of the party were present.

Recent Lake Jackson Reviews
Great getaway!
My wife and we're looking to escape the seemingly unending New England winter in a warmer and more inviting climate. We couldn't have been more pleased with this lakefront chalet. The home decor was very nice only complemented by the great views of the lake from the inside of the large windows or while sitting outside on the large deck. Seating and bedding were all very comfortable. The house was well equipped all necessary amenities. The dock, boat and fishing were all attractive to me and I wasn't left disappointed. I enjoyed fishing each morning and my wife and toured the lake in the afternoons. The owners, Dottie and Richard, were great! Friendly, hospitable and helpful with anything and everything just adding to our overall wonderful experience. Excellent value for such a nice home and use of the boat! We would highly recommend this great getaway! Thank you Dottie and Richard!
Spring Break!
We are one of two families who rented the home for Spring Break. The home and lake are beautiful and the owners were very gracious hosts. The home was clean and decorated tastefully. The linens, bedding, and beds were top notch, which made it even more like home. FYI for fellow allergist, some of the comforters and pillows are feather. :) The wireless connection worked great as well as the cable. The boat access was a fantastic perk with this rental. The pool table and ping pong table were entertaining for all of us. The beautiful kitchen had most cooking needs, but could use larger bowls for serving and maybe a couple cookie sheets. The dining room table had plenty of room for both families at meal time. The neighbors were friendly, as well as the people in town. We bought fresh eggs from a family down the street, visited the Whistle Stop Cafe from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, visited Noah's Ark, shopped at the Tanger Outlets, we fished everyday and caught quite a few fish, and enjoyed a nice boat ride. We wanted to get away, and this vacation was perfect for that. There are so many amenities that this home offers like Propane fryer if you want a fish fry, beach towels, extra blankets, movies, board games, fire place with fire wood, grill, patio table with chairs on deck, hot tub, hanging porch swing on upper deck, porch swing on lower level, beautiful boat/fishing dock with outdoor lighting for night time, small boat ramp next to dock, parking outside for two vehicles and room enough for another two in garage if needed, fishing poles...pretty much everything you'll need they have thought of. We would definitely rent this home again.
Great Time!!!
This was, hands down, the best vacation spot for myself and the family this Thanksgiving. The home is beautiful and the view is equally as beautiful. I would recommend this vacation home to anyone!!

Watch The Democratic National Convention Live: VIDEO
The DNC is currently streaming the Democratic National Committee live on YouTube.
Among those speaking this evening: Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), Newark Mayor Cory Booker, retired Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), Openly gay Rep. Jared Polis, HHS Kathleen Sebeilus, The Honorable Julián Castro, Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, First Lady Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
YouTube stream here.
This is a very important election. It's important we all get out and vote: OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
Rally the troops. This is it, folks. The differences between the two parties are clearly apparent.
Posted by: Marc | Sep 4, 2012 6:42:57 PM
I oppose Islamic inclusion at the DNC convention. Islamists are opposed to women and gays. I'm actually amazed that the Democrats would embrace a religion that is vehemently opposed to women and gays.
Posted by: jason | Sep 4, 2012 7:12:14 PM
Gee, how will they ever live up to the stellar Republican convention last week!
@Jason: You're vehemently opposed to women and gays, so it's weird that you're upset by Islamists.
Posted by: Ernie | Sep 4, 2012 7:31:48 PM
Wherever did you get that notion? I'm opposed to particular types of women and particular types of gays - especially the ones who are dishonest and shallow - but certainly not women and gays in the general sense.
Go and concentrate on the embrace of Islam by the Democrats. I'm small fry, sweetie.
Posted by: jason | Sep 4, 2012 7:37:35 PM
It would be nice if YouTube could actually maintain the stream (even at 240) for more than a few minutes at a time :(
Posted by: Randy | Sep 4, 2012 8:06:57 PM
@ Jason: I am one of the least friendly people toward religion of any kind, whether it is fundamentalist christianity or Islam, However, whether I like it or not, they are part of the fabric of 21st century America and deserve a place at the convention. Your main concern is doing or saying anything to undermine President Obama. Fortunately everybody who reads posts on this site have figured you out a long time ago.

Special Correspondent
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Writer P. Govinda Pillai has said that the Purogamana Kalasahithya Sanghom is not a feeder organisation of any political party.
Inaugurating the 8th State conference of the sanghom here on Friday, Mr. Govinda Pillai said the sanghom was the confluence of persons who stood together against communalism. The sanghom, he said, was guided by the document that it had adopted at the Perumbavoor conference defining itself as a collective of all those who upheld the values of humanism. There was now a contention that there were no artists and poets in the sanghom. He said it was not headlines in newspapers that guided the sanghom and its workers were not people who would go after what some people said about it. The contention that there were no writers in the sanghom was mainly due to the fact that its activists were Left leaning. The sanghom had grown thanks to the joint efforts of hundreds of geniuses, Mr. Govinda Pillai added.
Sanghom president Kadammanitta Ramakrishnan chaired the inaugural session. Earlier, delegates to the conference marched to the Martyrs' Column and offered floral tributes.
Later, at a function organised as part of the conference to felicitate eminent cultural activists, Minister for Cultural Affairs M.A. Baby called upon the sanghom to become the focal point of resistance to all assaults on artistic freedom. P. Govinda Pillai, M.K. Sanu, Puthussery Ramachandran, Kedamangalam Sadanandan, Nilambur Ayisha, P.K.R. Warrier and Andalatt were honoured with mementos at the function.

"The randomness of me!" foxxy1601's Profile
As you might be able to notice I am new on here, but I have to say that this website seems pretty neat and it should prove to be useful in planning of my next trip. I haven't really had the opportunity to travel many places. As a child my family didn't do a lot of traveling. We had a few vacation spots and that was pretty much where we went - they were all in driving distance, so most of my childhood traveling was in Michigan.
Well as a more general introduction to myself. I recently graduated college (Western Michigan University). My degree is Elementary Education. I was pretty excited to start my career - however that was put on hold because the economy in Michigan is HORRIBLE and I wasn't able to find a job. Now instead of having a teaching job I am relying on subbing (which isn't very much to rely on!). Next year I plan to expand my horizons and apply for jobs out of the state; I will be leaning towards areas close to Philly since that is where my boyfriend is currently attending Physician Assistant school.
Some of my favorite things; art, photography, dancing, music, hiking, camping, teaching, traveling, experiencing new cultures, people & places, sand dunes, the great lakes. . . . ohh there is so much more I will leave it at that for now!
I have been working (and still am working on) my own personal website. In this website I am going to dedicate an area to traveling! There isn't a lot yet but feel more then welcome to go check it out.....
Well I just went on my down south road trip! I must say we had horrible weather driving down there and back home but the days that we were actually seeing and doing things it was beautiful outside! The trip was awesome - hopefully someday I will get a chance to put some tips and make a page on it!
Here is where we went:
- Knoxville, TN
- Atlanta, GA
- Gatlinburg, TN
- Smoky Mountain National Park
- Asheville, NC
I just got back from my Minnesota trip. We drove from Michigan to Baraboo where we spend some time and stayed the night. We then took 33 to La Cross and traveled up the Great River Road. It was a great trip! When I get time I will make a page for the trip and add some pictures! That might not be for a little bit though! Thanks to everyone who gave me some suggestions and tips!

Day 9 - Nov 16 - Laredo to McAllen Texas - 290kms
We started the day visiting Suzuki of Lardeo. They are also a Kawi dealer. Jay had arranged to pick up some new TKC80's here (knobby tires for those who don't know).
I went to pick these up and get a quote for an oil change/spooning on the tires. Jay also needed a coolant flush done. So the quote I got was $268 per bike. Huh?
1.2 hours of labor per tire. I don't know about you, but I have personally done this in 20 minutes with a couple of shitty spoons in my driveway. I was pretty pissed and ready to leave. However, Jay still needed a rad flush and we needed to hit the road. After some humming and hawing and some prodding from Jay to just get going I agree to the service. I have regretted this ever since. Should have done it ourselves in the hotel room. Anyways, don't go here:
Rip off in effect:
Anyways, there are several lessons in this RR and this is the first: do it yourself unless it's really cheap!
Met a fellow from Ontario who keeps us occupied, chatting while the service takes place. He claims that we should "Watch out in Mexico, they're all criminals!!" Uh-huh, and all Canadians live in Igloos too. Nice guy, but c'mon man.. We also quickly meet a cool couple (originally from Brazil but living in London) riding 2 up on an Africa Twin. They're headed our way. Wonder if we might run into them again?
It's time to get the F out of Lardeo, so we head out on some 1 and 2 lane bi-ways and it's surprisingly cold. My mesh jacket really flows a lot of air! We're trying to hit McAllen before dark, but no dice, we end up riding expressway at night with our tinted sheilds. Not recommended. Grab a room.
It's about this time that we start reading the side effects of our Malaria meds: hair loss, blindness, bleeding from the ears, seizures, increased or decreased heart rate, dark spotting on the gums...WTF! We wonder if maybe we should skip em..
We also are a little concerned about the border tomorrow. People have been more than paranoid about the gang warfare, Police corruption and the good 'ol H1N1. It's all you hear about in the news. We'll see how it goes..
Dinner and bed in McAllen. Next up: the gulf of Mexico, finally.

I think there were some of the photos that were floating, but of course I could not see the keel on those.
I just keep going over the stress loads on that keel at impact, the question in my mind is why is the hull not thicker, especially in light of the fact that the boat is frameless, the impact stress is going to be high, especially since as I understand it from Brent's earlier post that the keel is filled solid with lead. My thinking is that this would make the keel a little too rigid, meaning that it would concentrate the point loads on the thin hull plating which should be far thicker than 3/16" along the keel area for the entire length of the boat.
I am still trying to get my head around the way this design is supposed to look, and why it would not have a thicker plate in this critical area. My instincts tell me the design is flawed on several levels, and only good fortune and the short length of the vessels has prevented issues that would show up if there were more than 50 of them built and actually sailing. I know that in some cases as much as 1/16" of that 3/16" hull thickness will be lost to corrosion, and even though the owner might paint on the hull coating thick as can be, which I also think is a poor design idea, heavy coating should not be considered a part of the vessels normal hull conditions. It should be coated appropriately, and done very well, but not put on extremely thick because thick hull paint will actually not last as long as properly applied coating will last. The paint that is super thick as Brent has described will actually be subject to damage due to the weight of the coating itself pulling the coating loose from the steel.
So, a thicker hull along the keel load areas for the length of the boat with frames to spread the moment. A hollow keel with heavy walled pipe to reinforce the leading and trailing edges, and lead or cast iron bulb at the base. A very well prepared and properly coated hull with a better finish and proper thickness of ablative hull paint for the bottom, and you are starting to get a better boat, but you still do not need to grind it on reefs, crash it into cargo ships, or any of the other abusive treatment Brent's clients seem prone to do so often.
As I read Brent's answer one more time I see he thickened up his keel to 1/4" in his last post, but I am still thinking that is very thin for the keel area. I do agree with Jeff H about columnar failure being an issue with the frameless design, make that boat 50' long and you have a boat with huge issues hogging and sagging, and you would have to stiffen it with a lot of bar stock welded longitudinally and frame it to keep it from warping the deck upwards and downwards like an accordion bellows, I guess you could use that for ventilation, the boat that breathes. When you factor in the mast weight flexing one way, the keel weight flexing it the other way, this design is going to beat the everliving crap out of you in short period waves.
It is good to learn from your mistakes, but much better to learn from the mistakes of others...

All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1960 item #1096303 (stock #001110032e)
This little cowboy is such a great example of the copper art of the ŌĆś50ŌĆÖs from its ŌĆ£tough guyŌĆØ expression to the bowed legs. He is really almost a cartoon character with his expression and simple design of the figure. The details of his six guns, kerchief, six-gallon hat perched over his eyes, and details on his chaps make him a very charming figure. The pin is pressed and formed to slightly curve outward to give it a fuller dimension. He measures 2-3/4ŌĆØ tall X ┬ŠŌĆØ at the widest point. Copper is one of my favorite metals and the contrast on fall fabrics looks especially nice. He is an enchanting one to collect and keep.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Earrings : Pre 2000 item #1230727 (stock #01586)
Ivory in color and faceted stones (that I think is chalcedony) make these earrings really unusual. They are faceted with so many planes that they sparkle when they turn. For pierced ears, they have nice patinaed closed ear hooks. Very nice and go with a lot. About 1" long and 1/2" dia. at the bottom.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Contemporary item #1127052 (stock #0011185e)
This bracelet looks like one from David Yurman because of the classic ribbed design, gold and silver, and accented by a faceted black ŌĆ£stoneŌĆØ. It looks very expensive and is substantially made with a strong spring for the clamper action. It measures about 7ŌĆØ inside circumference and is 1-1/4ŌĆØ in front, tapering to ┬ŠŌĆØ in the back. It has a faceted black stone that is probably plastic. The bracelet is really classic in design and classy in presentation. It is truly striking.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1970 item #1098323 (stock #011144e)
This is an unusual brooch from about the 1960ŌĆÖs that has many layers of leaves stacked on top of each other. Because some are have texture and patina, they contrast with others that have smoother finishes. Each of the 9 leaves has notched edges that fall gracefully over each other. It is in good vintage condition. The pin back has been replaced, but it works perfectly. It measures about 2ŌĆØX2ŌĆØ. This piece would be great on fall colors!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Ethnic : Bedouin : Pre 1970 item #954967 (stock #04500e)
This bracelet is very old and made of brass with a simple design of incised lines. My estimate is it is pre-1970. It is quite large 1-3/4" across the outside curvature. Inside diameter is 2-5/8" and the inside band is 1" deep. It has some heft, weighing 95.3 grams. It is very old, although I don't know the exact age. It came from a Nomadic tribe in the Middle East and was handcrafted by an artisan and is well made and is in excellent vintage condition. It is a very striking and showy bracelet and could be worn alone or with other bangles.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1950 item #1099580 (stock #001110045L)
Copper and enameled copper jewelry were very popular in the 1950ŌĆÖs through the 1960ŌĆÖs. Much of the popularity is attributed to Jerry Fels who started Renior copper jewelry, and later the Matisse line of copper. These cufflinks are abstract in design with a grey background to swirls of black, red, and white. The design is typical of the period. They measure 1-1/4ŌĆØ long X ┬ŠŌĆØ at the widest point. They are in very good vintage condition with no damage to the enamel or the cuff link finding.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Bracelets : Contemporary item #1120567 (stock #0011180e)
This is a very stylish and unusual bracelet with thousands of different color beads and sequins. The colors are gold, brown, mauve, and copper. It sparkles and is also very comfortable because it is made on an elastic base. However, it has a lobster clasp with an adjustable chain. This is a versatile and chic bracelet with a great deal of panache.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Unsigned : Pre 1980 item #1124429 (stock #0011184e)
These earrings are covered with gold sparkle with black curving lines in between - almost like a path leading to the Yellow Brick Road. The dangles are about 1-1/4ŌĆØ square and hang from silver half-domes. They are black enamel on the back and are a fun addition to any wardrobe. These would be perfect with jeans or a black dress. They are probably from the ŌĆś80ŌĆÖs, but in good vintage condition.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Earrings : Contemporary item #1145955 (stock #00011192e)
These are charming dangling earrings for pierced ears with faux turquoise beads that hang from gold brass trellis-like openwork pieces. Give the impression of hand crafted work. They are approximately 2ŌĆØ long from ear to bottom of bead and ┬ĮŌĆØ at the widest point. These are quite nicely designed and look fabulous on.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Art Nouveau : Pre 1950 item #1132910 (stock #1000107e)
Unusual is the word that comes to mind about this necklace. It is obviously very old and has green glass beads intermixed with silver ones. I am guessing that this is probably Czechoslovakian glass and the period is 1930ŌĆÖs. Some of the silver is worn and you will probably want to replace, but it is so different that I think it is worth preserving. The center green glass bead is a cube and marbled colors of green, sepia, and gold. The other smaller green beads are tiny shapes that look like little bows. I am pricing this for the beads only because the silver pieces are not in good condition. It measures 24ŌĆØ long and has a barrel clasp.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Earrings : Pre 2000 item #1097695 (stock #001110043L)
These gold domed dangle earrings look like they are gold plated, but I cannot be sure. They have an all-over textural pattern of vines and flowers and are capped by a plain gold edge. They have nice clip-back pierced findings that make them secure and also comfortable. They measure ┬ŠŌĆØ in diameter and are about ┬╝ŌĆØ high. These are quite lovely and look like the real thing.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Designer : Pre 1950 item #1096805 (stock #001110037e)
Tiny ivory wide hoops looks like real ivory although they are most likely Lucite from the 1940ŌĆÖs. The Napier stamp still is readable on one of the screw posts. These are fabulous, classic accents with a texture of engraved lines. They measure 1ŌĆØ diameter and are 3/4ŌĆØ wide with gold hinged screw backs that are easier and more comfortable to wear. They are extremely lightweight and in excellent vintage condition.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Deco : Pre 1950 item #981983 (stock #09300e)
These tiny sterling earrings are screw backs and date to the 1940ŌĆÖs. They are the Caduceus symbol sometimes used as a symbol for the medical profession. The history of this symbol began because of a link between Hermes and his caduceus and his practice of alchemy and medicine. Alchemists were referred to as the sons of Hermes, as Hermetists. or Hermeticists, and as "practitioners of the hermetic arts". By the end of the sixteenth century, the study of alchemy included not only medicine and pharmaceuticals but chemistry, mining, and metallurgy. Despite learned opinion that it is the single snake staff of Asclepius that is the proper symbol of medicine, many medical groups have adopted the twin serpent caduceus of Hermes or Mercury as a medical symbol during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A major reason for the current popularity of the caduceus as a medical symbol was its official adoption mistakenly as the insignia for the Medical Department of the United States Army in 1902. These little earrings are marked, "sterling" (part is worn away) and measure 5/8ŌĆØ long x 5/8ŌĆØ at the widest point. They are historical treasures.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1940 item #963155 (stock #06600e)
These vintage 1930-1940ŌĆÖs sterling silver earrings are engraved with elegant flourishes covering the entire surface. The graceful design of these dainty earrings is accented by a scalloped border. They have a shiny silver patina with some darkening. They are marked, "Sterling, WFSŌĆØ. They are approximately ┬ŠŌĆØ long and 1/2ŌĆØ wide, and are screw backs. They weigh 3 grams. They were hand etched, formed, and then the back and screws soldered.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Pre 1980 item #999167 (stock #011000L)
This little watch is as eye-catching as it is understated . It has the look of being hand crafted although it is not and is made of a silver color metal that may have some nickel in it because it does tarnish. The band is most intriguing with its basket texture and hinges half way around the band and then again at the closure. It closes with and nicely-done clasp that is strong and snaps with a ŌĆ£clickŌĆØ. The watch still works and keeps good time. I believe I bought it just prior to 1980, about 1978ish. It looks like a bracelet because of the design of the band, which makes it more a piece of jewelry rather than a utilitarian timepiece. It measure 6-1/2ŌĆØ wearable length and the band is ┬╝ŌĆØ wide. The watch itself is ┬ŠŌĆØ X 2-1/8ŌĆØ. As a bonus, it is quite comfortable to wear.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Necklaces : Contemporary item #1032035 (stock #001161L)
This beautiful necklace is dainty, yet expresses an old-world sensibility in the thoughtful design. It has eight strands of tiny black jet bugle beads sprinkled with smoked glass teardrop ŌĆ£pearlsŌĆØ. It measures 15ŌĆØ of beads with a 3ŌĆØ extender, and is marked, ŌĆ£Ali Khan New YorkŌĆØ. The necklace can be worn high at the smallest setting for a choker, depending on your neck size, and it has a bit of a stretchiness to make it more versatile. This necklace is fashionable and chic in its understated elegance.
All Items : New Century : Jewelry : Earrings : Contemporary item #1032736 (stock #001164L)
Blue never looked prettier than the 5 shades of stones on these graceful replicas of a style of the past. The large stone at top is a blue ŌĆ£opalŌĆØ, while the ŌĆ£star sapphireŌĆØ leaf perches under it. There are two or three shades of blue rhinestones on the other flowers and even on the tiny dangle at the bottom of the trailing branch. And one little flower is made of ŌĆ£pearlsŌĆØ with a turquoise blue rhinestone center. The goldtone metal is cast in fine detail and the design is captivating on these clip back earrings.. The flower branch hangs from the top round flower and another dangle is at the very bottom. They are 1-3/4ŌĆØ long X ┬ŠŌĆØ wide at the widest point. These are quite lovely.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Pre 1980 item #1032247 (stock #001162L)
These silvertone earrings are decorated with a gold coin replica that gives them an old world feel. The silver is a hammered finish and they are clip backs. They measure 1-1/9" in diameter. They are in good vintage condition with some wear showing on the gold, which you can see in the photos. A classic to go with everything.

Diversionary gives classic a saucy turn with 'Twist'
As Nancy, Northcutt showcases sweet vocals and looks like a pink-pigtailed Japanese manga character. Jackie Cuccaro has a gentle touch as Twist's shoe-fetishizing benefactor, Lady Downlow (a cute twist on the original's Mr. Brownlow). Scott Striegel (chiefly as the menacing Bill Sykes) and Jimmy Latimer Jr. (Weasel and other roles) bring texture to the story and ensemble numbers.
"Twist" isn't quite the breakout musical that last year's Diversionary show "Yank!" (which also starred Zohar) became. And it has its share of contradictions — chief among them the fact Twist is a masochist who at times almost begs for punishment (this is where Oliver's classic "Please sir" line comes in), taking some sting out of our sympathy for the way he's treated.
It's maybe one twist too many, in a show that otherwise takes pains to offer up modest but genuine pleasures.

Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin to Prep for Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim Hike with Dr. Pam Peeke at Red Mountain Resort & Spa
ST. GEORGE, Utah, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ — The fitness and wellness experts at Red Mountain Resort & Spa, which offers the most extensive hiking program in the Southwest, are working with national fitness expert Pam Peeke MD, MPH to prepare the Surgeon General for the walk of a lifetime. Dr. Regina Benjamin will be hiking the Grand Canyon, Rim-to-Rim, the week of September 5.
The hike into America's greatest national park is a continuation of the Surgeon General's Walks for a Healthy and Fit Nation, launched at the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) annual meeting in June. Dr. Benjamin is the Honorary Chairman of ACSM's Exercise IS Medicine national campaign, urging Americans to integrate more physical activity into their daily lives.
"Two-thirds of this nation's adults are overweight or obese," said Dr. Benjamin. "We must combat this crisis by committing to changes in our daily lives – such as eating right, exercising and managing stress – that promote health and wellness. The hike is a culmination of that vision and we are excited to partner with the team at Red Mountain, who are ambassadors of healthy living."
The hiking team will be led by Dr. Peeke, advisor to the Surgeon General and national spokesperson for Exercise IS Medicine. To prepare Dr. Benjamin for the hike, Dr. Peeke coordinated with Red Mountain certified personal trainer, Gene Geary, who developed a ten-week cardiovascular, flexibility and strength training program. "Everyday people can start living well, beginning today," said Geary. "We share in Dr. Benjamin's enthusiasm to challenge Americans to get up and move more."
Joining the Surgeon General and Dr. Peeke will be six of Dr. Peeke's women patients and Red Mountain enthusiasts. The team will first spend a few days at Red Mountain, partaking in the resort's fitness and wellness programs and embarking on prep hikes on and near resort grounds. On September 8, the group will descend from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and hike 14 miles to an overnight campsite at Phantom Ranch. The following morning, the group will ascend 10 miles at the South Rim.
Dr. Peeke will be podcasting and blogging her experiences live at http://blogs.webmd.com/pamela-peeke-md/. For a listing of activities, fitness classes, events and menus available at Red Mountain Resort & Spa, guests can visit www.RedMountainSpa.com.

The four-mile long and winding road of Yokohama Boulevard is getting closer to completion.
The $19 million road road project, which stretches from Highway 45 just north of West Point to Barton Ferry Road was one of the conditions Yokohama Tire required from West Point and Clay County before it agreed to build a plant in the area.
Calvert-Spradling Engineers Project Engineer John Freeman said the deadline set forth by the countyŌĆÖs contract with Yokohama required the road to be complete Dec. 31 and open Jan. 1.
Emergency personnel in West Point and Clay County are preparing for the worst next week, as the state will observe its annual severe weather preparedness week.

Mississippi Department of Education released its annual district accountability report card Friday, and while West Point schools made improvements in some areas, the district still has a way to go.
Overall, West Point School District again received a ŌĆ£DŌĆØ rating, though all applicable schools ŌĆö Central, Fifth Street, South Side and West Point High School ŌĆö in the district scored a ŌĆ£CŌĆØ rating. The official letter grade for WPHS in particular increased, up from a ŌĆ£DŌĆØ rating in the previous year, according to the report.
The jury found a West Point man not guilty of kidnapping after a three-day trial to close out the October Clay County Circuit Court term. However, the jury did not reach a verdict on two other charges.
Joshua Karriem, 30, of West Point, was charged with burglary of a dwelling, armed robbery and kidnapping in connection with a July 2013 home invasion. According to court documents, two men allegedly entered the home of the victim and bound and gagged him in his kitchen floor while they robbed his house.
The Southeastern Conference has reached a new milestone in The Associated Press college football poll, becoming the first league to place four teams in the top five ? all from the western division.

January Jones on new 'X-Men' movie: 'I haven't been asked back'
'Mad Men' actress won't be reprising her role as Emma Frost from 2011's 'X-Men: First Class'Buy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
January Jones has confirmed she will not be appearing in the new X-Men movie.
The Mad Men actress appeared as Emma Frost, a mutant with telepathic abilities, in 2011's X-Men: First Class. However, she won't be reprising her role in X-Men: Days Of Future Past, which begins shooting this month (April 2013).
When asked about the sequel by Collider, Jones replied: "I haven't been asked back. It's called Days Of Future Past or something. No, they're going into another time period, or they're going back and forth from different time period and Emma's not in that. Not in what they're doing."
Although Jones won't be returning, director Bryan Singer has reunited X-Men stars old and new for Days Of Future Past. Last November, he announced that the film has roles for X-Men veterans Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as well as First Class stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.
Hugh Jackman's Wolverine also has a confirmed role and Halle Berry, Ellen Page and Anna are officially on board too. Meanwhile, Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage is a brand new addition to the cast and will play the film's main villain. X-Men: Days Of Future Past is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on July 18, 2014.
