Gearing Up for Race Season
The Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities is busy getting ready for the spring races and events!
The highlight of the spring season will be our 35th annual Gala. The Gala is being held at the Ritz-Carlton Charlotte and will feature entertainment by the Avett Brothers, dinner, a live auction, and a silent auction. The Gala is the Charlotte chapter's biggest fundraising event.
Speedway Children's Charities will once again be out in full force during the "10 biggest days in racing" leading up to the Coca-Cola 600. If you are coming to Charlotte Motor Speedway, look for Speedway Children's Charities around the track, up in the Speedway Club, or shuttling race fans to the front gates.
These events helped the Charlotte chapter of Speedway Children's Charities award over $400,000 in grants to local non-profit agencies impacting the lives of children in 2014. We value the support from our fans, donors, and volunteers. Our goal for 2015 is to award more grants than ever with your continued help and support. Thank you!
Let's go racing!

'Tis the Season
The holidays are upon us and while everyone is making their Christmas lists and checking them twice, we at SCC Charlotte are handing out the best gift of all - Hope.
This year, we distributed more than $400,000 to 54 nonprofits in the Charlotte area. The well deserving organizations who received an early Christmas gift will be able to use their grant to help care for local children. We held the grant distribution in the infield Christmas Village where more than 350 children and adults were able to visit with Santa, do holiday crafts and enjoy refreshments.
Being able to see and visit with the children and families who will be benefiting from the grants reminds us why we get up and come to work every day. When you see a single file line of well dressed, well behaved young boys from the Male Leadership Academy walk through the door, your heart fills with joy just thinking about how your contribution will positively impact the lives of these children.
You could feel the Christmas spirit in the room as families arrived to enjoy the festivities and represent the organizations that mean so much to them. It was a great afternoon being able to provide hope and support to all the 54 wonderful organizations and the children they work with. As we wrap up 2014 and get ready for the New Year, we hope that you will keep these children in mind this holiday season.
We wouldn't be able to give out the grants that we do without the generous help of our sponsors, donors and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who made 2014 our best year yet! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
In The Heat Of The Summer
It has been a busy summer at the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities!
The month of May brought us All-Star Race weekend and Coca-Cola 600 Weekend. We could not have made it through race weekends without the help of our awesome volunteers. Their time, commitment, and hard work helped us raise over $20,000 for local charities in our area. That is a huge accomplishment and we truly value each and every one of them!
Our 34th Annual Gala presented by Sonic Automotive was also in May. The Gala included a cocktail reception, silent auction, dinner prepared by Chef Lorena Garcia, and live entertainment from The Avett Brothers. The evening was spectacular and once again we must thank our sponsors, donors, and volunteers.
The month of June consisted of us preparing for our first ever NRA Foundation "One for the Kids" Golf Tournament presented by Autotrader.com. Everyone was able to beat the heat and enjoy a great day on the golf course. It was an extremely successful day for us as we were able to raise over $75,000! Again, without our sponsors and volunteers this would not have been possible!
As we go through July and the rest of the summer our grant applications will be coming in! We are excited to start on the process of giving back to the area. We are looking forward to ending our fiscal year in September on a successful note and start off October with a bang!

We Make A Life By What We Give
"We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill
The beginning of a new year is a time for reflections and resolutions. If your resolution is to make a difference in 2012, Speedway Children's Charities can give you that opportunity. We are now signing up volunteers for our 2012 events.
As a volunteer for SCC, your impact will be greater than you realize because your work is part of a larger outreach throughout the Charlotte area. In 2011, SCC had the opportunity to support 57 local children's charities. Here is an example of the impact your support will make:
A kindergarten student named Alyssa participated in a Helping the Hurt support group last fall following the sudden and tragic death of her mother. Alyssa's father had never been involved in her life and this five-year-old child was overwhelmed with feelings of grief and loss.
Every Tuesday, just after lunch, Alyssa approached her teacher and announced, "Miss Amber, it's time for my grace group." For the first several weeks, Miss Amber attempted to correct her saying, "...it's your grief group, not your grace group." However, Alyssa insisted on calling it her "grace group".
Every Tuesday, for eight weeks, Alyssa was the first to arrive for the group and fully participated in every activity. Instead of anger, resentment and hopelessness, this little girl learned to work through her grief with hope, dignity and grace.
If you are interested, we are signing up volunteers for our 2012 events! Be here to make a difference in your community. Volunteering with SCC gives you the opportunity to improve a life and make a difference. To sign up to volunteer, register at http://charlotte.speedwaycharities.org/volunteer/.

Time for Summer!
The Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities wants to thank all of the volunteers and donors for their wonderful support the past few weeks during the All Star and Coca-Cola 600 Race events. Without the hard work of volunteers and the gracious giving of donors, SCC would not be able to provide the much needed help to area children and their families.
Even though the races are complete there is still work to be done. The few weeks after the Coca-Cola 600 mark the beginning of the summer and the start of preparing and organizing events for fall and winter. The summer allows us to analyze our previous events in order to maximize our efforts in the future to better help children in need.
There are countless children in need in our region and in order to better target and focus the efforts of our donors and volunteers we need applicants for our SCC Grant Program. This time of year is the best time for potential grant recipients to apply. The deadline to apply for our 2011 Grant Program is July 15th!
This summer I have been given the wonderful opportunity to broaden my work experience and supplement my coursework under the gracious individuals here at Speedway Children's Charities. But, most importantly, I have been given the chance to help others in need. The efforts of SCC and its volunteers not only help children, but indirectly help those in and around it.
Take care,

Speedway Children's Charities Gala
The 31st annual AutoTrader.com Speedway Children's Charities Gala presented by Bank of America on Wednesday, May 25, will honor O. Bruton Smith, founder of Speedway Children's Charities and chairman of the board for Speedway Motorsports, Inc.
Smith founded Speedway Children's Charities in 1982 as a memoriam and legacy to his son, Bruton Cameron Smith, who passed away at a young age. Through his experience, O. Bruton Smith developed a passion for helping children in need. He established the first chapter at Charlotte Motor Speedway and has since expanded the non-profit organization nationwide to Speedway Motorsports, Inc. tracks in Atlanta, Bristol, New Hampshire, Texas, Las Vegas and Sonoma.
In recognition of his charitable efforts, Smith received the prestigious NASCAR Award of Excellence in 1997. Since its inception, Speedway Children's Charities has been able to give nearly $10 million to Charlotte, N.C.,-area non-profits and more than $40 million nationwide because of Smith's leadership and dedication to the organization.
The 31st Annual AutoTrader.com Speedway Children's Charities Gala presented by Bank of America, will be held for the first time this year at The Ritz Carlton in uptown Charlotte and represents one of the biggest fundraising nights for the area. The event has raised millions of dollars to improve the quality of life for children in the region since its inception.
Mike Joy, the principal race announcer for NASCAR on FOX, will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the program. Carl Edwards, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and Speedway Children's Charities national spokesperson, and Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway, will be among the speakers at the Gala.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the grant program of the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities and will be awarded to local non-profit organizations that help children with medical, social, financial and educational needs.
AutoTrader.com is returning as the title sponsor of this year's Gala, marking its fourth year of sponsorship. Since its initial contribution, AutoTrader.com has donated more than $2 million to Speedway Children's Charities.
Gala festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception. The reception will include a silent auction, a photo booth by ShutterBooth and live music.
Following the formal portion of the program there will be a live auction with auctioneer Ernest Perry, owner of Perry's At SouthPark, a jewelry store in Charlotte.
Items up for bid in the live auction include a MontBlanc watch, a trip to the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles and a trip to Las Vegas for the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series awards ceremony. The silent auction will feature more than 50 items, including jewelry, dinner parties, race packages and autographed memorabilia.

So thank you all for making this year a success for SCC-Charlotte to fulfill our mission in helping children with social, educational, medical and financial needs.
Here are some of the great highlights of 2010 that you have helped to make a success:
- Raised more than $300,000 during the May Races with events like Taylors Finish Line Festival, AutoTrader.com 30th Annual Speedway Children's Charities Gala, and Ride of a Lifetime
- Custom Cobra replica built by Tommy Pike Customs at Food Lion AutoFair in only five days, raffled off with proceeds benefiting Speedway Children's Charities
- Partnering with B.R.A.K.E.S and Cookies for Kids Cancer to help raise money and awareness on the importance of safe driving and pediatric cancer research

SCC Board
Happy Holidays!
Speedway Children's Charities has had an extremely exciting start to the Holidays. On November 22, 2010, Speedway Children's Charities welcomed over 90 non-profits to Charlotte Motor Speedway for our Annual Grant Distribution.
These organizations have served children in need in the area for years. Each organization reaches a different set of children in need. Some serve homeless children, some reach out to handicap children; others help with emotional concerns, while others provide a safe place for children to grow and play after school. Collaboratively these organizations help Speedway Children's Charities reach a broad range of children in need. On November 22, 2010 grant recipients received over $725,000 during the Grant Distribution. In addition to receiving their checks, recipients were invited to help kick off Charlotte Motor Speedway's new LED light show, Carolina Christmas. The smiles that were created that night were priceless.
Our magical evening would not have been possible without the generous support from people like you. No matter how you show your support whether it is through volunteering, monetary donations, or attending our events we thank you.
From all of us here at Speedway Children's Charities we wish you and your family a Happy Holiday.

Here's a few things i'd like to say:
First, Jacob Fred is the greatest band in the history of the universe. i just got word that we are actually Beethoven's favorite band of all time. Hendrix, too. and Bird. they all like JacobFred almost as much as I do. We just confirmed a 20-night run at Carnegie Hall in 2010, and I'm pretty sure the record we're working on is going to go triple-platinum. for real.
I hear you, though. it is, possibly confusing.
I listen to as much late coltrane as hotchkiss does, and as much ornette as eric dundee. that music is my church and scripture.
Jazz didn't start out elitist. originally, it was FOLK music. made by semi-illiterate accidental-scholars who simply wanted to party and let people party. the fact that the opera houses of 1890's New Orleans could only afford a single pianist (rather than a full orchestra), who coincidentally had a night gig at a brothel and a buddy in a brass band is a happy accident in the culture, and the upside of the karma of slavery. we are so fortunate that this happened.
Bird grew up playing in big bands for dancers. the music he accidently invented was still heavy on melody, and he often still played for dancers. his followers didn't, but they still played melody. THEIR followers didn't play for dancers, and rarely played literal melody, instead becoming true impressionists of the internal realms. those listeners who had bumped into their own internal realms heard evidence of the common struggle, and called this music "higher." Elvis, Dylan, and the Beatles were created by SOCIETY to fill the gap that Bird opened. young people need to dance and get laid, and sing along. jazz once provided this service. then it became "higher music."
Is ornette "deeper" than louis armstrong? is the coltrane quartet "higher" than fletcher henderson? are church-goers catagorically better people than non-chuch goers? does cab calloway belong in the jazz cannon?
This is an important conversation, i think.
Music CAN be a force for unification and community. why are the differences between us our favorite thing about ourselves?
Why do we want coltrane INSTEAD of the rolling stones. why not coltrane AND the rolling stones?
Is there really more heart in charles mingus than there is in neil young? or phish, for that matter?
Why assume that the inward-pointing music is greater than the outward-pointing music? is this the grandchild of the Biblical "you are not of this world" hogwash? why should we be so proud of our divorce from earth? because we'll die here? is that why the inward-pointing music is greater than the outward-pointing music? because we wish we didn't have to die?
Are we trying to make the world in our own image? it cannot be done.
Musicians can be prophets and heralds, it's true. thank god. musicians can also be a loving friend to a people in need. and people don't always need to be taught. sometimes they need to be hugged and listened to. just ask my wife. :) we musicians are in a state of RELATIONSHIP to the listener. doesn't a healthy relationship take the needs of the Other into account? doesn't a loving partner try to affirm and please the Other? you can't tell.
Guitarist-vocalist-songwriter Seth Walker, raised in rural Altamahaw-Ossipee, North Carolina and an Austin resident since 1995, comes from a long line of talented musicians and began training on classical violin and cello at the age of four. On Seth Walker, his fifth album originally released on Jerry Hall's Pacific Blues label and now recently reissued on Hyena Records, Walker treats listeners to a "different point of blue." This record is a delightful tour of the blues that encompasses soul, swing, R&B, and a handful of jaw-dropping slow ballads.
One of the first things that impresses is Walker's vocals. Much like the voice of the late Portland harmonica player and vocalist Paul DeLay, Walker's conveys a wisdom and honesty beyond its years, so much so that Taj Mahal once called him a "little, white Ray Charles." That description couldn't be more appropriate, as Walker proves on his deeply soulful cover of "By the Water," originally written by New Orleans legend Dave Bartholomew. I've had the chance to see Walker perform that song many times at the Continental Club and in juke joints on Austin's East side, and this studio recording captures the magic of those live shows (no small feat, mind you). Mark Hays' drumming is right in the pocket, accented with beautiful reserved B3 organ from Italian expatriate Stefano Intelisano.
Walker takes a trip down to the Delta on Jimmy Reed's "I Know It's a Sin," accompanied by guests Mike Keller (currently a member of Marcia Ball's touring band) and Fabulous Thunderbirds front man Kim Wilson, whose reserved harmonica riffs follow Walker's leads hand-in-glove. "Miss Ann" is a fine swinging jump blues, and Walker even channels a bit of John Lee Hooker on the intro to "Change My Way". One of the album's finer moments happens on "2' Left to the Ceiling," a heart-wrenching number co-written with Hays that tells the story of a Katrina victim, trapped in his or her home in the lower Ninth Ward. Lines like "the G.I. Bill and Jesus both split for higher ground, and I can't find my way to the door" deliver the message as the flood waters slowly rise through the song's end. Powerful stuff.
Walker's confidence, versatility, and artistry offer a refreshing perspective on the blues genre, and no doubt the Seth Walker reissue on Hyena is going to propel Austin's best kept secret from the Lone Star State to a town near you. When it happens, don't miss the chance to catch him live.

Better Than: A back alley brawl between jazz and blues.
The Review: Back when I first moved in New York, one of the greatest musical pleasures I had was catching James Blood Ulmer get all "avant-gutbucket" at a dingy little Theatre called Squat. The cat, interminably regal even then, had been first among royals such as Ornette Coleman, Art Blakey, and Ronald Shannon Jackson, and would weave some of the most cacophonic stringwork in the kingdom of free jazz. It was adroit, it was possessed, and it was surprising – and it opened my ears to a whole new way of listening to the world.
So it was with great anticipation – and even greater pleasure – that I got to catch the cat last night at The Colony in Tigertail Productions' latest booking coup.
But though the master remains immensely free-wheeling on the fretboard, his flurry is now steeped in another even older tradition: the blues.
Seated on a low-slung stool all by his lonesome, Blood began the evening with a triptych about Katrina and the hole it tore in the soul of the Big Easy – and in our hearts. Here we heard the wind rip, felt the rain bruise, and touched the pain. But Ulmer wasn't crying the blues on behalf of a catastrophe; he was using the blues to represent the mad he feels in catastrophe's aftermath.
And to be sure his is some stirful, mournful, meaningful mad. Ulmer's voice dips from low growl to high holler, while his fingers flay a sermon of surge, even in the wake of weep. In just three songs the man managed to encompass both a terrible storm, and a terrible storming.
When he was joined onstage by bassist Mark Peterson and drummer Aubrey Dayle, Blood's mad got boiling – then it got even. Working from a repertoire that stretched from Son House to John Lee Hooker, "Hey Joe" to "Little Red Rooster," Ulmer and his trio drove the blues down the dirty back crossroad that leads straight to our secret spot, the place where all we have hidden becomes revealed.
And unburdened. Blues at its root is about unburdening the soul from the trials and tribulations of a hard life, Ulmer knows this, and he uses the tradition to his great good advantage. But it was when he stood and faced off against the band during "Babytalk" that the true transformation took place, for it was then that Blood unburdened the blues.
- John Hood
Personal Bias: I was raised between the city and the swamp, so urban muggy suits me fine.
Random Detail: Blood sports a very fine pair of snakeskin cowboy boots.
By the Way: Ulmer's latest Bad Blood In The City: The Piety Street Sessions is out now from HYENA.

PS3 Optical Audio
I just picked up a PS3 mainly for the BD player. I'm having a problem though with the sound using the optical with my Onkyo DS575X(older model). The sound cuts in and out while watching BR. I've tried two different cables and two different optical outputs, neither helped. From my little bit of researching I'm getting the opinion that the PS3 isn't compatiable with older Recievers dispite these recievers haveing dolby digital and dts? Most of this research seemed to be from old thread though. Is this a issue with Blu Ray? I have no issues with my HDDVD player and ps3 games seem to be fine.
btw, I do have bitstream enabed for optical. Am I missing another option?
Re: PS3 Optical Audio
Does your TV have an Optical out?
I was thinking you could use the HDMI cable then run the optical cable from your TV to your receiver...
But if that's the case then there's probably something wrong with the optical port on your PS3. I'm just throwing out ideas lol.
Re: PS3 Optical Audio
I have an ONKYO receiver as well but it's a newer version (4 HDMI in)

Linux-Native Task Management? Check.
Task management programs are commonplace in our busy lives, but it seems that every system lacks something. Google Tasks is nice, but it lacks the features of a more robust task management system. Remember the Milk is nice, but it charges for some of its features. Many standalone task management programs are great, but they don't sync between devices.
Thankfully, Nitrotasks is a Linux-based task management program that not only syncs between computers, but also has some organization features reminiscent of the "Get Things Done" method. When you add the Web-based version and syncing compatibility with Dropbox or Ubuntu One, Nitrotasks is worth checking out. It's simple, but its Linux-native roots and Web-based access make it compelling. Be sure to put "check out http://www.nitrotasks.com" on your to-do list!
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
Cool topic
I'm in the process of looking for some cool tools and this helps. thx
I know
I know it seems counter-intuative, but I abandoned Nitro for a more simple solution - Outlook reminders. Just set a reminder and it pops up letting you know what's on your plate for the day. That way you don't have to go to yet another website to check what needs to be done. Since I'm already doing most of my work on the desktop, why open another browser? Outlook pops up messages on your desktop. You'll have to run it through Virtualbox obviously (hmmmm, well that's an extra step in it's own isn't it?). I don't think I can win this argument.
Does Nitrotasks work on Android too? My wife and I both use android cell phones and our kids run linux and windows. If this would work across all three, this would fit the bill for our family's task management needs.
Very nice looking application
Very nice looking application.
Currently I'm using a shell script for managing my todo list. I should try Nitrotasks.
Webissues http://webissues.mimec.org/ can also be quite interesting even if it's name can be a bit limiting :)
Todos and Email
We have built a task management tool (Calpano.com) solely for delegating/coordinating tasks easily via email. Its free, but right now only in German. Its based on web and email, so no install/download. We love feedback. Maybe this helps.
Another one is http://trello.com All my collaborators switched to this after they saw how easy to use it is. Usually task management apps are too cumbersome and people run away from them, yet Trello is very flexible, allowing the use of only the features you need and nothing more. Plus it's free :)
I'm a Trello fellow, as well.
I'm a Trello fellow, as well.
Linux rocks!
Personal blog: zootlinux.blogspot.com
When I was working in a law firm, I tested Taskcoach (http://www.taskcoach.org) for keeping track of the billable hours. They call it simple, but... no. It is really, really good for keeping track of tasks, partial tasks an time track.
Emacs Org-mode. You can do task management and a whole bunch of other stuff all from within Emacs.
Nixnote with Evernote
For good syncing capabilities between devices you could use Evernote (web based) together with your smart-phone app version and then the great Nixnote (Evernote Linux version) + there is even a windows (evernote) app of some sort too.
Evernote/Nixnote can be just for taking notes, but can also be set up as a task manager (google for how to)
Peter F.
Todo.txt is a nice linux-native command-line BASH script that handles all, if not more of what Nitro can do (from what I have seen). It's not all that fancy-looking, being a cl app, but there are plenty of nice-looking interfaces, even for mobile devices.
Taskwarrior + $VCS
I'm partial to Taskwarrior to maintain todo lists. Lots of nice features including a scriptable command-line interface, and the ability to put your task file under revision control (e.g. git, hg, bzr, svn) and synchronize across platforms.
task management can be a lot
We need to distinguish what we mean by task management. Nitrotasks and todoist are todo lists, and there are lots of them. Request Tracker is linux-native, too, but it's a full-blown ticket system.
What I am looking for is software that is somewhere in between, say a todo list manager where I can add comments and create todo items by sending an email
Interesting software.
Recently I found todoist.com and started to use it. It's a good one too.

Port Orchard Independent, March 28, 2014
March 28, 2014 edition of the Port Orchard Independent
Woman charged in father's death Daughter was entrusted with victim's medical care, basic needs A 58-year-old woman faces a murder charge in connection with the death of her 97-year-old father in rural south Kitsap County. Court records stated Renee Roberta Nash, of Port Orchard, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Harlan Haynes on March 26 in Kitsap County District Court. Sgt. Ken Dickinson, Kitsap County Sheriff 's Office spokesman, said the woman remains in custody in the Kitsap County Jail on $500,000 bail. The woman was arrested March 25 after deputies completed their investigation. During the investigation, deputies determined the daughter had been acting as her father's guardian and his sole care provider since 2004, reported Dickinson. He said the woman was entrusted with Haynes' medical care, dayto-day care and ensuring his basic needs were met.

Terri Patton, assistant superintendent for business and support services, said at Wednesday's school board meeting that the district won't replace five full-time custodians who left the district after the last school year. She said that will save the district $250,000. Patton said the deficit stems from unforeseen circumstances when the district presented its last levy to voters in 2004. She cited escalating teacher salaries and pension rates along with inflation as issues. In addition to the money saved on custodians, Patton said the district will dip into its reserve fund for $1.72 million. She said that's not all bad because the district saved more than it anticipated in its last fiscal year, which ends Aug. 31. Patton said they also will save through not filling other vacant positions in the district, and through cutting expenses on supplies. The board unanimously adopted the budget.

Fyxation opens the cycling season with a bicycle give-away
It's still the middle of March, but it's quite obvious the cycling season has begun regardless. To celebrate, Fyxation has teamed up with Milwaukee Bicycle Company (a part of Ben's Cycle) and photographer Peter DiAntoni of COG Magazine (also based out of Milwaukee) to help promote their new contest: on March 21, they're giving away a brand new State Bicycle Co. fixed gear bicycle, equipped with Fyxation components. All you have to do is Like their Facebook page.
Their promotional video was created by a team of Milwaukee area locals and is composed entirely of still shots of bicycles in the studio and around the Riverwest and the East Side. Indoor shots show off how much a bicycle can change its personality depending on the minute changes in the style of the handlebars, grips and color. Rapid-fire outdoor shots feature cyclist Dan Mueller as he puts these bikes to use around the city.
"The video," says Fyxation general manager Nick Ginster, "is entirely composed of still photographs shot over two days in the studio and one day on the streets by Peter DiAntoni of COG Magazine. Meticulous set up and lighting was required with the hundreds of component changes in the studio, and challenges of lighting and camera position on a moving rider."
Fyxation is a bicycle components company started in Glendale by Ginster, who had years of experience as a commuter, mechanic, engineer and product designer in the bicycle industry.
They offer high-quality options for customizing your bike at an affordable price.
"We wanted to bring the styling of traditional bikes down to a level the average person could afford," says Ginster, who noted they also try to modernize older components to be more comfortable. "Our cafe bars, for instance, are not quite as far back or quite as high. They're not your grandma's ride."
Fyxation's locally designed colorful tires, bartape, pedals, saddles and straps can be found at bike shops around the city, around the country, and even in twelve countries around the world.
State Bicycle Company is based out of Tempe, Ariz.

Bublr, the city's first bike share system, rolled out last year and was subsequently rolled back in before winter. But while the wheels were only on the ground for a limited time, the company still deemed it a success, coasting through the finish line with an impressive 5,500 trips. What was not so successful, however, was the confusing pricing. So as Bublr gears up to return, the company announced a new, simpler pricing structure.
Ramen party is a perfect pairing with Wisconsin winters

Ramen for a dinner party is an exciting and relatively inexpensive theme to craft a dinner party around. At its very basic it only requires a few veggies and a handful of noodles, but it has the ability to unfold possibilities like a flower. During a ramen party, there is something of a slow, orchestral build until suddenly the cymbals are crashing, the violin bows are fraying and the tubas are blasting fortissimo.

Disappointment followed. How could we allow this to happen? This band felt like it was composed of sun-bleached driftwood, waiting for a match to drop and set fire to the music scene. It was a band that made Milwaukee's music scene vibrate. So I was surprised this morning when my phone lit up with a message...

Good work Jack and thanks.
I just want to add a few of my own observations. Although I completely agree with you Jack, there are ways to get through Beazley and the upper rapids in one shot in some circumstances but it all depends on the strength of both the ebb and flood. I do it quite often but you need to carefully watch the current tables. This is based on a vessel that can make 5+ kts...If you can make way using the back-eddies up to and through the Dent rapids against a flood 15 minutes to a half hour or so ahead of the turn to ebb you will generally make the lower rapids on a bit of an ebb. After making your way through the lower rapids on an ebb and if it feels a bit uncomfortable, you can make your way around the top of Okis Island and avoid much of the current associated with the upper rapids and if need be you can duck into Barnes Bay and wait it out a bit. But be aware that Barnes Bay can have some pretty substantial currents of it's own but the holding is quite good and the Ling Cod fishing is awesome. I definitely wouldn't do this during any big tides.
Seymour Narrows...I like using Seymour Narrows because for me, it's a direct and fast route but Johnstone Strait can get a little nasty at times, particularly just south of Kelsey Bay. But you'll get an indication of what's coming up at Chatham Point and again at Ripple Point. It's usually pretty good in the summer but in any case you can always anticipate problems and duck out at numerous spots. I generally leave Campbell River/Cape Mudge one hour or so before the turn to ebb and on a good strong ebb I will get a real good push all the way up to Kelsey Bay. Monitor traffic on channel 71 because you will inevitably find yourself amongst quite a bit of commercial traffic going both North and South through the narrows at the turn.
The Broughton's are what I think are some of the best cruising grounds around with few boats and good weather at this time of year.

Blogs and Blogging
A weblog, more commonly abbreviated to being called a blog, is a series of regular entries on a website or a part of a website, normally displayed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent at the top of the browser page. The entries are usually devoted to a certain topic and are often quite personal, written by the blog owner or other regular contibutors. Visitors to the blog are normally allowed to post comments to each article. If this is the case, the blog is called interactive.
The entries may be news reports, be in the form a discussion or a diary. Typically, a blog main contain text, images, audio and video files, and links to other blogs or websites with similar content or otherwise related content. The authors of blogs are called bloggers.
In the early part of the 21st century, blogging became one of the most popular forms of communication. A blog can unite a large group of users with common interests or background. Such blogs are devoted to discussions and informing users on events which may be of their interest. While personal blogs rarely reach outside the blogger's own family and friends, some can attract worldwide interest. For little or no financial outlay, bloggers can now publish their news or comments to the whole of the world wide web - a publishing reach that up to the late 1990s was only ever the preserve of multi-billion dollar multi-national publishing and broadcast companies.
Another type of blog is the corporate or organizational blog. It is often used for business purposes and may even be a part of the company or organization marketing policy. These blogs tend to be more popular, mainly due to the bigger number of people who are aware of their existence and read them.
A blog which contains predominantly videos is called vlog. One that features photographs is called a photoblog. There can also be microblogs (blogs which consist of series of very short entries), podcasts (consisting of audio files), or tumblelogs (comprising various media and short entries). All blogs are said to exist in a virtual "blogosphere," the word becoming commonly used as a collective for blogs and bloggers. Since all blogs are located in the Internet, they can be considered as interconnected. To help bloggers find their way through the millions of blogs, there are various blog search engines, such as BlogScope, Bloglines and Technocrati.
Blogs emerged as a form of online diaries in the 1990s. Justin Hall is regarded as the father of blogging, becoming famous in 1994 for his online diary Justin's Links From the Underground, which he started while studying at Swarthmore College. The term "weblog," a conjunction of the words "web" and "log", was coined in 1997 by Jorn Barger. By 1999, "blog," was being used, as both a noun and as a verb, with those blogging being termed bloggers. By 2002 there were more than 133 million individual blogs on the Internet; in 2008 there were 346 million people worldwide who read blogs. According to Technocrati, the majority of the bloggers are well-educated and well-off. Data for 2010 shows that two out of three bloggers are male and are aged from 18 to 44. In the United States, 74 percent of bloggers are college graduates. Yet for all this, only 10 percent of bloggers claim blogging as their main source of income.
By the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, many professional journalists from television and radio stations and newspapers were being encouraged by their employers and editors to adopt blogging as a means of creating some interaction with their viewers, listeners or readership, discussing their latest program or article, and providing a more immediate commentary on events than traditional media is usually capable of doing. Various political personalities and organizations have also recognized the power of blogging and joined the blogosphere.
Blogs and other news content available on the Internet have created problems for conventional media, particuarly newspapers, which suffered steeply declining circulations and advertising revenues. And while TV, radio and newspapers in most countries are subject to some form or regulation and bound by the laws of libel, blogs have tended to be unrestricted, and more difficult to censor. As a result several banned movements and organizations have found it easier to spread their ideas and promote radical beliefs. Bloggers in China, Egypt, Burma and Sudan have been sent to prison for posting their views online.

More passengers likely for KL-Ipoh route with electric trains
KUALA LUMPUR: The number of passengers using the express train services between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh is expected to go up by between 10,000 and 20,000 per month with the use of electric trains, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
Ong said the train sets which travelled at a maximum speed of 140kph would cut the travelling time between the two cities from the current two hours and 50 minutes to less than two hours.
"The first train has been delivered and four more are expected to be operational from April next year," he told a press conference after the launching ceremony for the first train here yesterday.
Currently, he said the ridership for the shuttle service between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh, using diesel trains, was 50,000 a month.
The number is expected to increase to 60,000 to 70,000 per month after the introduction of the electric trains.
Ong said the five train sets with six coaches each cost a total of RM240mil.
They would be used to provide train services between Ipoh and Seremban with an estimated total travel time of below three hours.
On public transport in the Klang Valley, Ong said 12% of commuters were now using public transport.
He said the percentage is expected to grow to 25% by 2012.
"Currently, 240,000 people are using public transport during 7am to 9am daily and the figure will rise to 600,000 people by 2012," he said.
Earlier in his speech, KTM Bhd chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed said the electric trains which were equipped with closed-circuit television facilities, would also allow passengers to recharge their laptops, mobile phones and iPods on board.
"There will also be disabled-friendly toilets," he said.

Cops brace for clashes between NPA, rival group
ILOILO CITY—Police in Western Visayas have been alerted to a possible escalation of armed hostilities between the New People's Army (NPA) and the breakaway Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade following the killing of an RPA-ABB commander in Iloilo.
Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz Jr., Western Visayas police director, said the PNP has been closely monitoring the two groups after the NPA claimed responsibility for the killing of Joven Tababa who belongs to the RPA-ABB faction led by Nilo de la Cruz.
Heavily armed men gunned down Tababa in Barangay Bagacay in Tigbauan town in Iloilo on Jan. 25.
In a statement on Jan. 29, the NPA's Napoleon Tumagtang Command, the rebel group operating in southern Panay, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Rebel spokesperson Ka Ariston Remus said Tababa was punished for involvement in killings, extortion and threats against residents of Tigbauan, Guimbal and San Joaquin towns in Iloilo and Sibalom town in Antique.
Remus also accused the RPA-ABB of serving as "armed goons of politicians."
The RPA-ABB has denied the allegations of the NPA and has accused the communist rebels of killing RPA-ABB leaders in retaliation for breaking away.
In the group's statement issued to the news organizations in Iloilo, the RPA-ABB condemned the attack and vowed "justice" for Tababa.
The Rebolusyonaryong Partido ng Manggagawa Pilipinas (RPMP) broke away from the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and NPA in the 1990s over ideological differences.

I had to fight a tech and counter his misinformation when I went to have DD's new seat installed after an accident. She was 15 months old and no where near the weight limit for rear-facing, and he had NO IDEA why ANYONE would want to keep a kid rear-facing after age 1. Thankfully, the other tech he was working with was very supportive and said "I was going to jump in and help you out, but you really researched all this!" I learned it all on MDC!

SHERIDAN: Knights honoring the past
Fast forward about 25 years and Brody Barrios has built a solid foundation for the program in his three seasons. He has a handful of wrestlers in John Nunez, Emilio Rivera, Simon Olguin and Jarrod McGehee who have the potential to do well at CIFs, and maybe even work themselves into position for a top three finish at Masters and a state meet berth.
For now Donny Barrios is helping with the younger guys, while Brody Barrios concentrates more on honing the technique of his top-level varsity wrestlers.
Lucas Factor, another former Poway wrestler and a longtime friend of Brody's, is also on the staff.
And while Brody is watching the wrestlers, Donny watches his son.
"I've got to make sure he's doing everything right," the father said. "Because I taught him everything he knows."

I'm helping out one of my favorite clients as a favor and essentially the driveway of their estate is covered in a very resilient growth of moss.I've tried taking a pressure washer to the driveway with a detergent mix and I'm actually pitting areas of the driveway before I actually take the moss off. The only way this moss comes off is if I hold the pressure washer almost right against the driveway but I'm running the risk of damaging areas of the driveway. I've tried using a mix of bleach and TSP, left if for 30 min, but still nothing. My client would be very appreciative if I could rid her driveway of this unsightly problem with a less forceful and intrusive method. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

Rylan Clark 'sad' over AJ Odudu Big Brother exit
Rylan Clark has spoken out about AJ Odudu's departure from Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side, saying he's 'really sad' to have lost his presenting partner.
Last month Channel 5 confirmed to bbspy that the 24-year-old Blackburn personality had 'mutually agreed' to leave the late-night spin-off show after only two series.
Rylan – who joined the Big Brother team alongside AJ in May – has since spoken of his disappointment at the decision, telling The Daily Star: "It's going to be really sad without AJ. I love her and we're such good friends on and off screen.
However, he resolved: "But I've been given this opportunity and I have to do it on my own and I'm hoping I'll do as good a job as I did last time."
The former X Factor contestant added that he's 'looking forward' to seeing how Carol McGiffin does as head panellist on the Saturday psychology-themed show 'Bit On The Psych', which will now be co-hosted by Iain Lee following AJ's exit.
Meanwhile, Rylan – who is now dating former Big Brother 2013 housemate Dan Neal – teased that the launch twist for the new series of Celebrity Big Brother will result in some housemates forming 'false friendships'.
The show returns to Channel 5 on Friday 3rd January at 9.00pm on Channel 5.

Re: State Registration of Documented Vessels
Sail life,
I currently am a titanium salesman, though I also have a JD and am bar certified in Louisiana. And worked as an attorney for years, before I realized I hate the practice of law and moved on.
in Louisiana the resale of a boat between private parties (ie not a broker, or retail shop) is considered a 'casual sale'. Which means no sales tax is owed on the second sale. Technically you actually have to get the department of revenu's blessing on the sale, but it is a simple formality unless they contest the sale as a simulation, or one of the other exceptions to the casual sale rules.
Exert from....Louisiana Sales Tax Statutes and Regulations pg 37 (47/174 in PDF)
d. It is not the intention of this Chapter to impose a tax on an isolated or occasional sale, frequently termed a casual sale, except with respect to the sale of motor vehicles, which are specifically cov- ered by R.S. 47:303(4). The primary consideration in determining whether a sale meets exemption requirements is whether the seller is in the busi- ness, or holds himself to be in the business, of selling merchandise or tangible personal property of similar nature, and not solely upon the fre- quency of the transactions
Due to the legal nature this conversation has taken... The above should not be construed to be legal advice, but is of a general nature. Only upon specific review of your facts and situation, and with consultation by a tax law expert can your particular tax liability be determined.
