The governor wants to limit retirees' COLAs, which is sure to face litigation
In a not unexpected
announcement, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber recently told the annual gathering of
the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) that he has identified three areas
of potential "reform" to the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System.
PERS reform is expected to
be a hot topic of discussion at the 2013 Oregon Legislature, which convenes on
Feb. 4. Oregon AFSCME political staff expects a wide range of PERS-related
bills to be introduced. Kitzhaber, in his remarks to the OSBA, said he will focus
on three issues:
Reducing COLA adjustments
would appear to be the most difficult hurdle to clear legally. While Kitzhaber
didn't specify a particular amount, several legislators have openly discussed
attempting to limit COLAs to the first $24,000 of a retiree's PERS income.
Currently retirees get 2 percent COLA adjustments annually on their entire
benefit — whether they are well-publicized anomalies like former
University of Oregon football coach Mike Bellotti, who rakes in some $400,000
annually in PERS payments, or a more typical retired public employee whose
pension ranges from $24,000 to $36,000 per year.
But PERS Coalition attorney
Greg Hartman says changing COLA payments to those already retired would be
problematic under the law. Oregon Supreme Court rulings on earlier reforms,
largely stemming from the 2003 Legislature, reaffirmed a basic "a promise is a
promise" contract for retirees. It's a muddled situation for all involved, as
well over 60 percent of PERS' financial obligation is to people already
retired. A PERS analysis estimates that limiting COLAs to the first $24,000 in
member benefits would save the system $576 million every two years, and reduce
PERS' overall unfunded liability by $3 billion.
Union officials note that
"pickup" language is negotiable in any contract already. Employers have been
reticent to raise it over the years for the very reason it was established in
the first place: it saves them employer taxes with Uncle Sam. Current state law
is, however, 6 percent or nothing. Legislation is expected that would change
that detail to allow negotiations for anywhere between 0 and 6 percent. Unions
opting to agree to less than 6 percent would have the ability to bargain
offsets in other areas (wage increases, etc.).
The out-of-state tax issue
dates back to 1989, when federal courts ruled Oregon could not tax federal
government retirees differently than it did state and local government
retirees, which at that time were untaxed. Rather than giving up the income tax
generated from federal retirees, Oregon began taxing its own retirees as well
— but passed laws essentially granting a 9 percent boost to PERS retirees
that offset the income tax, therefore holding state and local government
retirees harmless from the tax.
That issue has come under
scrutiny in recent years. People who retire outside of Oregon — whether
they move after retirement to Arizona, for example, or have always lived out of
state in places like Vancouver, Wash., or Payette, Idaho — receive that
extra 9 percent even though they don't pay Oregon income tax on their PERS benefits.
The 2011 Oregon Legislature passed a bill that prospectively taxed
out-of-staters who retired as of Jan. 1, 2012, but the 2013 session is likely
to entertain bills that go back and eliminate the boost for anyone who lives
out of state.
The governor also talked to
OSBA members about the unique "disconnect" that exists in bargaining teachers'
wages statewide. When Oregonians passed Ballot Measure 5 in 1990, they shifted
the major burden of financing K-12 education to the state General Fund. Yet teacher
wages and benefits are bargained locally in 197 separate Oregon school
"It's this disconnect
between what is bargained for at the local level and the actual fiscal
condition of the state that creates the fluctuation and instability in school
funding and contributes to this rolling crisis of layoffs and lost school
days," Kitzhaber said.
Kitzhaber did not tout any
particular solution to school administrators. The possibilities range from
somehow tying local school district negotiations to the state's revenue
forecast, to the "nuclear option" of statewide collective bargaining for
teachers in one master contract, an issue the Oregon Education Association
adamantly opposes.

Liverpool took a giant step towards their first title in 24 years with a 3-2 win at a plucky Norwich City on Sunday, opening up a five-point lead over second-placed Chelsea with three matches remaining.
Arsenal kept themselves in the hunt for a place in next season's Champions League with a 3-0 win at Hull City in a dress-rehearsal for next month's FA Cup final.
Two goals to Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez's 30th league strike of the season helped Liverpool to their 11th consecutive Premier League victory and ensured them a top four finish and a place in Europe's elite club competition next season.
They moved to 80 points, five ahead of Chelsea who suffered a shock 2-1 defeat by bottom-placed Sunderland on Saturday, while third-placed Manchester City, on 71 points and with two matches in hand, play West Bromwich Albion on Monday.
Arsenal, for whom Lukas Podolski scored a double after Aaron Ramsey's opener, moved to 70 points, four clear of fifth-placed Everton who play Manchester United in Sunday's late kickoff.
Liverpool have not finished top since 1990, two years before the Premier League began, and they can put themselves on the brink of ending that drought when they meet Chelsea at Anfield next Sunday.
Norwich remain mired in the relegation battle in 17th place, two points above Cardiff City and Fulham and three ahead of Sunderland, while Hull are 14th, six points above the drop zone.
Liverpool's Suarez, who now has 12 league goals in five matches against Norwich, refused to get carried away with their position.
"In football you never know what can happen," the Uruguayan told Sky Sports.
"We keep calm and focus on next game. Of course we happy, at the start of the season our target was for the top four."
Fast start
Liverpool made a typically fast start at Carrow Road, with Sterling putting the Reds ahead after four minutes when he received the ball from Suarez, shifted right and unleashed a shot from outside the box that grazed Michael Turner, giving John Ruddy no chance.
Gary Hooper headed over from close range, but with Liverpool's constant movement creating plenty of openings it was little surprise when they doubled their advantage with 11 minutes gone.
Jon Flanagan released Sterling down the left, with the 19-year-old sending in a low cross that evaded the defence, allowing Suarez to open his body and place the ball inside the far post, becoming the first Liverpool player since Ian Rush in 1986-87 to score 30 league goals in a season.
He is now just two shy of equalling the Premier League 38-game season record held by Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo.
To their credit Norwich, who have now lost four straight matches, did not buckle, with Hooper being denied by Joe Allen and Nathan Redmond stinging the palms of …continued »

Dallas leads the regular season all-time series 56–44. But when the Cowboys and Eagles play all bets are off. No team is safe ever. The Cowboys and Eagles play twice in the next 4 weeks. What happens in four weeks most likely will not mean a thing for the team that loses this week. Whichever team falls to 3-6 will have their season officially over. So which team will get on a run and get back into the playoff hunt? Both teams have been turnover machines on offense and so-so on defense. The Eagles just fired their Defensive Coordinator during their bye week but did not look any better after the break. The Eagles offense has been anemic at best averaging less than 17 points per games. The Cowboys the are not much better at 19 points per game. Turnovers on offense have killed both teams. The defenses are very close letting up 22.6 and 22.9 points per game respectively. The Eagles are at home which should give them an edge but the Cowboys played a solid game against an undefea...

SCREW (magazine)
|Al Goldstein
|Pornographic men's
|First issue
|Final issue
|United States
SCREW was a weekly pornographic tabloid newspaper published in the United States aimed at heterosexual men;[1] according to a statement on the cover, it offered "Jerk-Off Entertainment for Men".[2] It was first published in November 1968[3] by Al Goldstein and Jim Buckley (who edited the short-lived "sister" tabloid Gay[4]), and was printed weekly in tabloid form. At its peak, SCREW sold 140,000 copies a week.[5] Founder Al Goldstein won a series of nationally significant obscenity cases.[6]
In 1974, Goldstein and Buckley were charged with 12 counts of obscenity in a federal court in Kansas. The case dragged on for three years through two trials and was finally settled when Goldstein agreed to pay a $30,000 fine.[7]
In 1977, Alabama Governor George Wallace sued SCREW for $5 million for publishing the claim that he had learned to perform sexual acts from reading the magazine. The two parties settled for $12,500, and SCREW agreed to print an apology.[8]
The magazine closed in October 2003.[9] A New Screw Review was briefly restarted by former employees in 2005.[10]

If you ever go to Italy you'll have noticed all those little Lancia Ypsilons scuttling about the cities. The Ypsilon always sold a bundle there, but stiffed everywhere else. Now there's a new one, and Lancia wants it to spread its wings, even to Britain. Come September it'll be here in right-hand drive.
But with Chrysler badges.
Huh? Chrysler makes big American cars. Well yes, but that's exactly the point: Chrysler needs little ones. Fiat, which owns Lancia, also owns Chrysler. It's deemed the pair a suitable couple for an arranged marriage.
So in mainland Europe, Chryslers - including the new 300 and Voyager - will be sold as Lancias alongside the Ypsilon and Delta. In Britain, all four of them will be badged Chrysler.
Ah but what about Lancia's magnificent heritage, fully endorsed by our telly trio? Stratoses, Integrales, Fulvias. Even Jeremy's Botswanan Beta. Yes yes, but face facts: Lancia bombed out of Britain 20 years ago because no-one bought the cars.
No-one except us remembers them. It's Chrysler that has the name recognition and the dealers now. Get over it.
Whatever their heritages, Chryslers and Lancias share a direction now. Both are meant to be well-specced comfy cars with distinctive design and unusual packaging, but not remotely sporty. Think of the 300. Or even of the PT Cruiser (that was quite the novelty once, it's just that they left it to go mouldy). If you want a sporty Ypsilon, tough luck. That's what Abarth and Alfa are for.
The Ypsilon is actually based on the 500, but with a wheelbase stretch. This has four useful effects. It means there's more back-seat room. It really improves the ride. It allows the Ypsilon to be a five-door, which is how many city cars (eg the Koreans) sell now. And it changes the 500's proportions from those of a cupcake to those of a car.
But the Ypsilon is still a small car, significantly more fun-sized than the average supermini. This makes it light, and so it goes well, whether motivated by TG's Engine of the Year the TwinAir petrol, or the 1.3 diesel. Because the engines aren't stressing, they're quiet too. They're sort of cars where 0-62 in 11 sec seems quite nippy.
The tyres are thin and you can just hurl it around. The TwinAir especially feels like it's got no weight over the nose. It hasn't, much. So even if it isn't labelled a sporty car, in the right place - cramped little roads and roundabouts - it's a hoot.
Make what you will of the styling, but you won't mistake it for anything else. The rear doors have hidden handles, and the roof floats above that sail of a rear pillar. I rather like the two-tone version.
Inside, the clocks are centrally mounted to make it feel roomier. The assembly quality is fine but some materials aren't great, but remember it's a mildly plushed-up city car, not an Audi A1 competitor. About £13k will net you a nicely kitted example.
The only worry then is all those Chrysler Voyagers on The Apprentice. Is driving a Chrysler Ypsilon going to turn you into a mini version of those pushy proto-tycoons in the back seat, endlessly bellowing dim-witted potty-mouthed orders into a mobile phone?

Sleep is a necessity, not a luxury. On average, people spend a third of their life asleep. The quality and quantity of your sleep can effect your health and outlook on life. According to sleep experts, most people need eight hours of sleep and that up to 80 % of the population suffers from sleep deprivation. If you are getting less than the right amount of sleep for your mind and body to perform well during the day, you are sleep deprived.
It is not always possible to increase the number of hours available for sleep, but it is possible to increase the quality of your sleep. A good place to start is the position in which you sleep. A person should sleep in a position that they find comfortable and relaxing, but also sleep in a position that will not contribute to pain, or aggravate spinal problems. The three main sleep positions are back, side, and stomach.
Sleeping on your back can be one of the least stressful positions and is usually recommended for proper spinal alignment. If you sleep on your back, avoid thick pillows under your head that can force the head forward and put constant stress on the upper back and neck. Over time, this persistent forward pressure may affect the normal curvature of the upper back and neck, leading to possible additional spinal ailments.
Sleeping on the side with knees bent is probably the most common sleeping position. It is essential to use enough pillows to prop your head so that it is level with the rest of the spinal column. Sleeping on your side may also help reduce the possibility of snoring. Side sleeping is usually suggested for those with low back conditions and expectant mothers because it enhances relaxation, especially to the lower back. Pregnant women may also find it helpful to place another pillow between the knees in this position.
Normally, it is recommended that you avoid sleeping on your stomach. When sleeping on your stomach your face is turned to either the extreme right or the left in order to breathe. This may cause undue stress in the joints of the cervical spine, as well as stretching and/or shortening of muscles and ligaments on one side of the spine or the other. Symptoms of stomach sleeping may include neck and shoulder stiffness, wry neck, and morning headaches. Generally a stiffer mattress will allow for better spinal alignment for the stomach sleeper.
Your mattress is important for a proper nights sleep. It is responsible for supporting your body for an average of eight hours a day. A mattress that is worn out or to soft may lack critical support. This can contribute to a restless nights sleep and backaches during sleep or upon rising.
You can test your mattress in two ways. First visually inspect the mattress and box spring. If the mattress is lumpy or visibly sagging, there is a problem. The box springs need to be firm and level, if they are worn or uneven, there is a problem. The second test of your mattress is to lie down. A mattress should offer firm contouring support, if you sink into the mattress or roll to the middle, there is a problem. A mattress and boxspring set should be quiet and stable, if your bed squeaks or sways, there is a problem.
In choosing a mattress and box spring set there are three factors that should be considred:
What are the store hours?
What are the different sizes available?
Can a mattress be bought seperately?
Do you deliver?
What forms of payment are taken?
Do you offer any type of financing?

Hard wire issues w/ my Nuvi 550

Here's a 'glue in' solution that will work for your needs. I've been meaning to post this for a while, so this looks like a good place to do it.
I had similar problems-
1. USB connection too loose,
2. USB connection not waterproof
3. need to be able to remove the unit from the bike and plug it into a computer or into my car.
Here's what I did:
1. to tighten up the connection cut a small sliver of plastic from a cheap bottle of water, bend it 90 degrees and slide it into place as a shim between the Nuvi case and the USB connector. Tape it in place ( If you squint you can see my duct tape down the side of the Nuvi case). This will take up all the wiggle room and keep the connector tight. [Edit: now that I think more about it- I think the little piece of plastic actually went right into where the USB plugs in- that would make more sense. This has been a while, so you'll have to figure this one out!]
2. Go here:
and get a 4" "Up angle, mini B USB extension" $12. (Check the pictures on the web site to make sure it's up angle and not down angle- it's been a while since I ordered and with mine glued in I can't see it anymore.)
3. Slather the connections with dialetric grease, plug it into the back of the nuvi and then glue it in with RTV, sliver of plastic and all.
4. Make a rain shroud for the other end: take a large diameter piece of shrink tube and shrink it down over the wire and connector at the other end, making sure not to shrink the part where you will have to plug in your hardwire from the bike. I glopped some more RTV where appropriate.
5.Modify the RAM cradle so that you can rotate the device in and out with the extension attached. I used a dremel. It looks like it would leave the cradle very weak but actually that part does very little for holding in the Garmin.
Voila! The finished product. Rough looking, but now with a waterproof, vibration free connection and the portability you want.
Works for me anyway.

AN EARTH-BASED telescope is taking pictures that are just as clear and sharp as images from the Hubble Space Telescope. A flexible mirror that can compensate for the Earth's distorting atmosphere allows the Yepun telescope in Chile to take pictures even better than those taken in space.
Ground-based telescopes don't have the size constraints of space-based ones, which have to be launched on a rocket. So they can have larger mirrors, giving sharper pictures. They're also much cheaper to build. But Earth-bound telescopes must view the heavens through the turbulent atmosphere, which distorts light, making images blurry.
The European Southern Observatory's Yepun telescopeone of four that make up the Very Large Telescope in Chile's Atacama Desertcan now cut through the fog. Its newly installed optics system, called the Nasmyth Adaptive Optics System (NAOS), works by monitoring distortions in the pattern of light streaming from a reference star near the target ...

You limited your search to:
Decade: 1940-1949
Collection: A. F. Weaver Collection
- [A 1949 Mercury]
- Illustrated here is a photograph of a 1949 Mercury that was owned by A.F.Weaver, Jr. when he sold Crazy Water Crystals in the Houston and New Orleans areas. Mr. Weaver's father moved to Mineral Wells in the 1930's to manage the Crazy Water Company's operations. Art, Jr. became a salesman for Crazy Water Crystals following World War II. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29967/
- [The Baker Hotel at Night]
- This picture shows the Baker--in its great days--at night. Legend has it that a female guest jumped to her death. Her ghost is supposed to be resident in the building, but substantial evidence for the existence of the ghost remains to this date [2014] lacking. A legend on the front of the photograph states that it was colorized by A. F. Weaver in 1940. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth39155/
- [The Building of Camp Wolters]
- An automobile--presumably of the late 1930's--is parked by a building in the process of being built. Workmen may be seen at the site. A legend under the original reads: "Buildings seem to literally spring from the earth when the construction of the then Camp Wolters began in November, 1940. The camp was completed in less than four months and became the nation's largest infantry Replacement Training Center. Construction cost was approximately $14,200,000." texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth60911/
- [The Crazy Bottling Plant]
- The Crazy Water Bottling Plant and Crazy Water Tower are shown here. The plant was built in 1919 at a cost of $85,000, and is located at 300 NW 7th Street. The location was once the original site of the Sangcura-Sprudel Wells Pavilion. The Sangcura-Sprudel Pavilion was moved and converted into a rooming house, which burned in 1973. Notice the home in the background. The date on back of photograph is given as 1940. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29968/
- [The Crazy Crystal Bottling Plant]
- A picture of the interior of the Crazy Bottling Plant, ladies are shown bottling Crazy Fiz, a copyrighted beverage created by infusing cooled mineral water with carbon dioxide. The men shown here appear to be checking the process in preparation for the bottling of the Crazy Fiz, while the ladies bottle and crate the finished product for shipment. Note the plant's scrupulous cleanliness, and the fact that all employees are dressed in white. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29960/
- [The Crazy Gang Bus]
- A radio show, broadcast at noon and advertising Crazy Water Crystals over the Texas Quality Network, became so popular that the radio gang found themselves in great demand for personal appearances. To accommodate their audiences, the band traveled in their own bus, shown here. On the back of the photograph is stamped "A. F. Weaver Photography 412 N.Oak Avenue Mineral Wells, Texas 76067." Dated: 1940. Please note: ZIP codes were not in existence in 1940. Its appearance here with the date of 1940 cannot be easily explained. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29973/
- Crazy Hotel
- The east side of the second Crazy Hotel in the 400 block of N. Oak Avenue. Across NE 3rd. street, to the left, is Renfro's Drugs (at 319 north Oak Street). The low building on the right is the Hotel's drinking pavilion, and has a sign on it proclaiming a public auction of homes, business sites and farm land to take place January 20-21-22. This is a rare view (from the North-East) of the north back side of the hotel. Cars, of the late 1930's, are double-parked and visible in the middle of the street along the east side of the Crazy. (Head-in angle parking in Mineral Wells was changed to parallel parking in 1938, shortly before America was drawn into World War II.) texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29815/
- [The Crazy Hotel Pavilion]
- A handwritten note on the back of the picture identifies this as "Crazy Hotel Pavilion 1940 Cigar Stand and Shine Stand." Please notice Leon Cross, the "shoe-shine boy", who operated the stand for years, in the white shirt to the left of the Shine Stand. This pavilion is off the hotel lobby, behind and west of the elevators of the second Crazy Hotel. A fire started March 15, 1925, in the drugstore next to the bath house of the first Crazy Hotel which adjoined the Crazy Flats (second Crazy Pavilion). The fire destroyed all the businesses in this city block. The second Crazy Hotel opened in 1927, and incorporated all of the previous enterprises into one building covering the entire city block. The drinking bar, from which Boyce Ditto served mineral water for many years, is at the opposite end of the pavilion, left of the shoe-shine and Cigar Stand, with its striped awning. In its heyday during the health-spa era of the "City built on Water," the bar served four different strengths of mineral water. The bar is still in existence today although inactive. The mezzanine around the drinking pavilion was lined with offices, primarily those of doctors. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29444/
- [The Crazy Laundry]
- In the 1930's, the Carlsbad Building (once a spa for taking the mineral waters. See "The Texas Carlsbad" for details)was taken over by the Crazy Hotel for use as a laundry. Note the painted windows that still proclaim the waters, and the original Texas Carlsbad building. The Panel truck in front was driven by L. C. Ely and the other truck was driven by his father R. C. Ely. This picture was taken sometime in 1940. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth39226/
- Crazy Paper Box Company
- The Crazy Water Company built a plant in 1919 to extract minerals from its water, box the crystals, and sell them nationwide as Crazy Water Crystals. Part of the crystal enterprise included a box factory. Following an action by the Food and Drug Administration in the late 1930's, crystal operations were reduced and box operation was diversified. On the back of the photograph is written "'Treetop' Erwin, left, was the driver of the Crazy Box Company truck." The photograph is dated 1940, and can be found in A. F. Weaver's book, "TIME WAS In Mineral Wells", First Edition, 1974, on page 28. Special note: By magnifying the picture so as to be able to read the license plate of the truck, the date "42" becomes visible. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth25065/
- [The Crazy Water Crystal Factory]
- Shown here is an interior view of the Crazy Crystals Plant. "Crazy Water" was evaporated, and the dissolved solids precipitated as crystals which were then packaged and shipped all over the United States, Canada, England and Australia. By dissolving the Crazy Water crystals in water, the purchaser was able to reconstitute "mineral water" and secure the benefits of one of the earliest "instant" beverages without the added cost of the supplying company's shipping water. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29965/
- [The First Air-Mail Service to Mineral Wells]
- The first batch of airmail arrived in Mineral Wells, 1947, 6:30 pm. Individuals from left are: John Chamberlain, Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Fred Parnell, Bill Cameron, of the Index, Fred Brown, Manager of the Baker Hotel, Mayor John Miller, an unidentified pilot, D.C. Harris, Postmaster (holding the mail bag) and R. T. Jones. The airplane in the background, a Cessna 190, was probably the one used to transport the mail. It appeared to be a cold day, as the officials are all wearing coats. (A negative accompanying this picture depicted a "Christmas rush at the old Post Office") texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth20227/
- [A High School Coronation, 1947]
- The High School Coronation of 1947 had its picture taken in the Convention Hall. The photograph was taken by Du-Caan Studios, Mineral Wells, Texas. The people involved--with two possible exceptions--are not known. [written on the back in pencil: Barbara Bowman Barbara Weaver] texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth39232/
- KORC 1140 On Your Dial
- A picture of a KORC-KBS Microphone--"1140 on your dial" is shown here. Mineral Wells' radio history dates back to the 1930's when Mr. Hal Collins, owner of the Crazy Hotel, began sponsoring broadcasts originating in the hotel lobby. The radio station was founded and owned by Mr. Achilles Corcanges, and aired its first broadcast on December 5, 1946. Radio station KMWT-FM began broadcasting from Mineral Wells in 1970. The broadcasts were aired nationwide, at noon daily, over the Texas Quality Network. It advertised Crazy Water Crystals. Both stations' call letters were changed in 1983 to KJAS-AM and KYXS-FM. Many show business luminaries appeared on the shows. For instance, Mary Martin of Weatherford began her singing/acting career here. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth16268/
- [Mineral Wells High School]
- This view of Mineral Wells High School, taken from the east in 1940, shows the 1884 "Little Rock School House" (Mineral Wells' first public school) on the north side of the high school. The larger school was built at 101 NW 5th Avenue in 1915. The second high school in Mineral Wells, it still [2008] stands. Three other high schools have been built since the last class graduated from this one in 1955. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth25051/
- Standard [Well and Amusement Park]
- Formerly the Vichy Well, it was re-named the Standard Well and Amusement Park. Note the large mineral water bottle sign in the lower right hand corner of the picture. The building was torn down during World War II, and replaced by USO Club. The North Oak Community Center is at this location as of 2008. Information about it was taken from A.F. Weaver "Time Was" page 67. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth29819/
- [The Sunshine Special]
- A locomotive engine pulls the Texas & Pacific "Red Eye" passenger train, named The Sunshine Special. These business-friendly trains were scheduled to arrive in the Dallas/Ft Worth area at about 9 AM from both the east and the west. This picture was taken by A.F. Weaver at Millsap, Texas in 1940. It was published in the Rotogravure section of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The Series 700- (714-) series engine shown was replaced a few years later by larger, more powerful Series 600 engines capable of greater speed. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth16248/
- [The W.O.W. (Woodmen on the World) Drill Team]
- This picture shows the Woodmen of the World Drill Team, taken on June 19, 1947. A caption on the back of the photograph reads: WOW DRILL TEAM 6-19-47---- Herman Tolbert, Capt.--LEFT TO RIGHT: Front row: Walter Carter, Gene Lee, Jimmy Brandenburg, Charlie Davis, Bill Teichman, Idys Cox, Jr., Boyce Harvey, Billy Brooks. Back Row: Melton Brewton, Walter Moore, Hayden Hughes, Bazil Brewton, Unknown [heavily underlined, with small lacuna, also underlined, following] Roy Alderson, Roy Brewton and Eldred Fryer. A further caption, rotated 90 degrees to the first reads: "Picture taken in Convention Hall." On the front of the photograph is handwritten: "phillips [sic] photog-aphic [sic] Service Abilene, Texas" in white ink. The photograph appears in A.F. Weaver's "TIME WAS in Mineral Wells" on page 165. texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth39238/

Anti Stealth
I propose designing a substance that returns a massive radar signature relative to it's size, imagine an A 330 taking off from Paris and New york could detect it on radar as it took off because it's signature was the size of a skyscraper. Also any object could be sprayed with the substance to achieve the same results .Although a bit sci fi, possibly the substance could be activated by a certain radar signal or pulse at a suitable time, or activated from within the vehicle, buts that is going further than my original idea.

Pretty Penny Launches With A New Approach
Pretty Penny LLC, the newest e-commerce startup targeting female shoppers, announced the launch of its online couponing solution. Pretty Penny is the first coupon application specially designed for busy young professionals and fashionistas, to eliminate the need to search for coupons and deals when they shop.
Developed with their consumer in mind, the beautifully designed browser add-on identifies the retail site a user is on, searches for coupons and deals specifically for that site, and delivers promo codes and offers in a clean, unobtrusive, and fully secure window within the user's browser. If a deal is available, the icon appears and lights up; consumers simply open it to reveal and access all the coupon codes and offers without having to leave the site they are on.
The founders were seeking to solve a problem they themselves ran into, says Jennifer Lee, designer at Pretty Penny. "Our founders often talk about when they bought a dress or a purse, and the frustration of discovering later on that there was a 20% off promotion going on that they missed. They sometimes would search the web for coupons, but with their busy schedules, it was exhausting to have to look for them and test each one to see if they worked. So they came up with the idea for Pretty Penny."
"Simplicity and design were especially important to them, because they knew women wouldn't want to use a product that looked 'spammy'. From the beginning, they insisted on ensuring beautiful aesthetics and a seamless user experience." One visit to http://www.prettypenny.com immediately attests to Pretty Penny's value of design - the look and feel of the site differ significantly from any existing coupon sites in the market.
Simple and easy-to-use, the free browser add-on is now available for Google Chrome and can be easily downloaded from the home page with a few simple clicks. Consumers simply shop as they normally do, while Pretty Penny does the work, automatically informing users of the active coupon codes for the site they are on. No pop-ups, ads, or spyware; and unlike some similar products, Pretty Penny doesn't try to install other third-party applications the consumer may not be aware of.
As the product is in beta, the team encourages users to send any feedback and comments via their help form online. Pretty Penny will soon also be available on the Firefox platform.
About Pretty Penny

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is hoping his side's performances will soon be rewarded with the points tally they deserve, starting against West Ham on Saturday.
Last time out the Latics were beaten 2-1 by Martinez's former club Swansea, with the added frustration of having what would have been an equaliser from Arouna Kone disallowed for a debatable offside. That followed on from Wigan conceding a late equaliser to draw with Everton in a match they led twice.
Martinez said: "We're really looking forward to playing at home, and the next game for us is vitally important, to be able to get all the good things together and to start getting the results we deserve."

This guest post is by Stephen "Stepto" Toulouse. He made a comedy album you can get on Bandcamp (cheapest option), iTunes or Amazon and wrote a book called A Microsoft Life. He blogs at Stepto.com.
I was in Vancouver with Rochelle. It's one of our favorite cities. We were up to visit Remy (the puppy I mentioned in the previous post) before we could take him home, and Wil suggested we all have lunch together since we were all in the area with him filming Eureka episodes. Adia, our "middle" Golden, was the aunt of Remy (likewise Eowyn) so we brought her along on the trip. Our plan was to visit a dog friendly restaurant since we would have her with us.
We're all partial to Granville island, both the beer from the brewery, the locale, and the food. Wil, like me, hates cabs but that was the only way for us to get together. We arrived to find the hotel spot that was pet friendly was closed for construction. We wandered around with Adia. We ended up finding a place, but they wanted us to tie up Adia outside the patio eating area due to regulations. We tried to keep her close but she was insistent on being with us so we gave her a long leash lead about 20 feet from where we were in the neighboring park. Before long she was entangled in her lead with the stimulation of so many nice people around her and seeing us just a few feet away.
I was trying to concentrate on what Wil was saying, while at the same time he was concentrating on Adia trying to tie her long lead in knots to try and just be with us.
Wil was inviting me to perform at w00tstock. I was trying to understand why anyone would ask me to do that. After a bit, none of us could really deal with Adia being so uncomfortable so I took Adia to the car and put her on her travel pillow. She curled up immediately and slept. I returned to the table in the sunny, crisp late-March Vancouver weather.
"I'm going to let my brain reboot for a minute before I answer" I told Wil, about w00tstock.
"Of course." he said and talked to Rochelle while I processed being invited to perform at something I had already bought tickets for because I wanted to see it. Before I took care of Adia, who by the way is a healthy and energetic 8 years old today, Wil had asked me "Have Paul and Storm talked to you about w00tstock?" and I thought he meant there was something wrong with my tickets or something. It was his simply seeing if I had been asked to perform.
Several years later a mail arrives in my inbox, "Would you like to guest blog for me while I am gone?" My brain went through the same reboot because I know how big and essentially awesome his blog audience (you guys) is.
We had flatbread pizza that day on Granville island, and the last of the brewery's Winter ale (outstanding). It was a bright sunny day, and Wil got to meet Adia and I got an invitation to perform on a stage for the first time in my life.
This week Will and Shane and I have had the privilege of you guys reading our stuff. We chatted in email and tried to time our entries to not be too overwhelming or overlap. But above it all we wanted to achieve the quality of Wil's blog. I read what Will and Shane wrote and I think we hit it, And above all your comments and interaction made us feel welcome.
In just a few hours Wil and Anne will get off a boat, early in the morning and probably slightly hung over. I can tell you from experience they will walk with shaky legs down a ramp, and stand and sway slightly while customs processes them. They will probably get on a plane immediately (a fate I wish no enemy, much less a friend in their condition because sea legs are hard to overcome) and they will fly home.
And at the door will be Seamus, and Marlowe, and Riley, Watson, and Luna.
Welcome home brother! Here's your blog back! I hope we did it justice!
And to you dear reader, thanks.

Summer fayre at Stoke's West End Village hailed as a success
Posted: August 30, 2014|
WEST END FAYRE: Residents and visitors enjoyed a summer fayre at a retirement complex.
Relatives and members of the public joined residents at the West End Village for the fun day.
The session included a wide variety of stalls – some selling items made in the village – along with hot and cold food and drinks made available.
The village, an independent living complex in Stoke, also supports Help The Heroes, The Royal British Legion and other charities.
During the event fund-raisers collected about £200.
They will continue to collect cash before splitting the pot at the end of the year.
Housing support worker Geraldine Walker hailed Thursday's event as a real success.
She said: "The summer fayre was brilliant, everyone enjoyed it."

Hurricane Irene remains a category 2 storm off the coast of the Carolinas and as of Friday afternoon over 65 million people on the eastern seaboard are currently under a hurricane watch or warning, with the Outer Banks of North Carolina as well as the inner coves being evacuated in expectation of the hurricane's landfall sometime late today or early tomorrow.
The storm is predicted to make landfall near New York City Sunday morning, although the path and strength of Irene still remains uncertain.
On Friday, Sag Harbor Mayor Brian Gilbride said Superintendent of Public Works Dee Yardley has begun removing anything from Long Wharf and throughout the village that has the potential to be blown away in the storm. He is also checking drainage throughout the village in an effort to keep flooding at a minimum.
Under the current path, Mayor Gilbride noted that the East End is predicted to be facing a tremendous amount of rain coupled with wind speeds of between 80 miles per hour and 100 miles per hour.
"Those are the kind of statistics that wake you up a little bit to what we are expecting to have to deal with," he said.
Harbor Master Bob Bori has reached out to every boat owner occupying village dock space. Many, said Gilbride, have already relocated their vessels and the Coast Guard may decide to send a vessel or two to Sag Harbor Village during the storm said the mayor.
As of Friday afternoon, Mayor Gilbride said no evacuations were planned, but that he would be in regular contact with police and fire officials throughout the next three days. Fire Island is under a mandatory evacuation, and Southampton Village announced this morning that residents of Meadow Lane were being asked to evacuate voluntarily. A mandatory evacuation may be announced in the morning.
The affects of the storm are expected to impact East End residents starting on Saturday night. High winds, flooding and coastal erosion are anticipated as Hurricane Irene nears Long Island.
Sag Harbor Village officials spent this morning prepping for the storm, according to Mayor Brian Gilbride. Sag Harbor Village Police Chief Tom Fabiano is leading emergency efforts for the village, he said.
At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Chief Fabiano convened a meeting with Mayor Gilbride, North Haven Mayor Laura Nolan, North Haven Deputy Mayor Jim Smyth, as well as members of the Sag Harbor Volunteer Fire Department, Sag Harbor Village Police Force and Superintendent of Public Works Dee Yardley to give the team an update on the storm's path and emergency management plans for the village.
According to Mayor Gilbride, Chief Fabiano has already taken the village's generator to Pierson High School – the local evacuation center – and has confirmed it is working order in the event the evacuation center is needed.
"We are already talking about how to make sure people are safely evacuated," said Mayor Gilbride.
He encouraged people to prepare for Hurricane Irene by stocking food and water in their homes, as well as flashlights and batteries in the event of a power outage. Mayor Gilbride added that for residents who need shelter for their animals, the Animal Rescue Center of the Hamptons has announced it has a about 50 slots for cats and dogs who cannot be evacuated to Pierson High School or neighboring evacuation centers.
He added that residents in the village who live in low lying areas should be aware that the storm is predicted to cause massive flooding. While Yardley's crew has spent the last two days clearing drains in the village to keep flooding at a minimum, Mayor Gilbride said those who do live in low lying areas should prepare their homes for evacuation and if emergency management officials call for an evacuation of any neighborhood, residents should immediately comply.
"Make sure you have any extra medicine if you need it, on hand, top off your vehicles with fuel and if you have an elderly neighbor, please check in on them," said Mayor Gilbride. "We have all been through this before and if we take care of each other and work together we will get through this fine."
"We've been preparing for [hurricane season] for months," said Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst.
In fact, Southampton Town actually unveiled its official "2011 Hurricane Survival Guide" earlier this month, which provides detailed notes on how to prepare for and what to do in the event of a hurricane; it also provides a list of emergency contacts and evacuation sites in the town. (A link to the guide can be found on the town's website:www.southamptontownny.gov.)
Should either Southampton or East Hampton Town call a state of emergency and urge residents to evacuate their homes, Sag Harbor residents should go to Pierson High School, which is the local evacuation center. Other important numbers to keep on hand are: The American Red Cross of Suffolk County, 631-924-6700, the Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management, 631-852-4900, the Long Island Power Authority, 1-800-490-0075 (to report down electric lines or an electrical emergency and National Grid, 1-800-490-0045 (to report the need for emergency gas service).

The stiffness problem in reactor kinetics is overcome by the stiffness confinement method for solving the kinetic equations. The idea is based on the observation that the stiffness characteristic is present only in the time response of the prompt neutron density, but not in that of the delayed neutron precursors. The method is, therefore, devised to have the stiffness decoupled from the differential equations for precursors and confined to the one for the prompt neutrons, which can be analytically solved. Numerical examples of applying the method to a variety of problems confirm that the time step increment size can be greatly increased and that much computing time can be saved, as compared to other conventional methods. The theory is of general validity and involves no approximation other than the discretization of the time variable.

The long fast went well. My body didnt revolt too much, the secret for me is definitely to drink lots and accept that coffee does help with pain meds kicking in to action. I decided that during the hours when I would have been cooking eating etc I would make a concious effort to pause and consider the great fortune I have in being able to make this decision not have it forced upon me by circumstance or edict. No lack, how could there be when I have easy access to clean clear drinking water and if food was needed there is my larder sits ingredients for many a meal. We were blessed with a blue sky sunny day even if the wind was still rather keen so I spent some time outside sitting on the yard with RnB happily snoozing on their rug, after teeth cleaning of course:0) I played with some yarn that I want to weave up into fabric for a Teddy Bear Im wishing to make. Its certainly not going to be a brown or black bear as the colours I was playing with were yellow, black and pink and if you know Sirdar Wash and Wear Crepe youll understand that this is not going to be an understated bear:0) There is a story behind why that yarn and I may well blog that when the weaving has begun in the meantime it makes me smile. Also given that Spring has made fleeting forays in to my garden but declined the invite to stay or even move in a little introduced colour doesnt go amiss. Today rain is back combined with icy wind so makes yesterday all the more a gift.

I wish you well with your bid for the prize but get the distinct feeling that the group of people you have on board will not let prizes or lack of stop this important work. Glad to see that knitting still holds you in its embrace and you find moments to stop and breath deeply:0) We, Rhys and Banon, Flo-cat and me have today greeted the awakening of Spring with time in a rather neglected but much loved garden on a day when blue sky visited and rain is only showing itself now, chilly wind but in shelter the sun was warm on the nose. Daffoduils are showing shoots and buds seem to be forming early even after the last month of -C temperatures, hurricane winds, heavy snowfall and even heavier rain and that was just one day!:0) the joys of a lush green country with a water table that is two or three inches above the ground at present even here on the side of the valley.

'Ravenswood's' Britne Oldford: Remy is 'lusting for justice' and truth behind the curseAdd to Favorites | Ravenswood
Meet Britne Oldford, star of the new ABC Family drama "Ravenswood." Britne plays Remy Beaumont, who is on a quest to find out just what is going on in her town.
"[Remy] is the floater of the group, she can sort of hang out with any type of person, she doesn't really cling to one group. ... She is lusting for justice, she needs to find out the truth behind the curse that is haunting the town," says Oldford.
"We all come together at some point and start working together. I think these characters are definitely relatable," Oldford continues. "I think that there is a Luke, Olivia, Caleb, Miranda adn Remy in all schools. You definitely know, I think that I know people who I can compare to certain characters."
And what will keep people hooked on the show? Oldford says all the twists and turns, plus the character relationships.
"Viewers will keep coming back because of the relationships on the show, the love and the bond, plus you never know what is going to happen next. ... It's very unpredictable and very spontaneous," says Oldford. "It's much darker than 'Pretty Little Liars.' It's moody and creepy and there's a huge supernatural element to it, which I adore."
"Ravenswood" premieres Tuesday, Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT before moving to its regular timeslot of 8 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday, Oct. 29 on ABC Family.

Calandrinia grandiflora
abundantly colorful. The bright magenta flowers bloom from
mid-Spring through much of the Summer and into the Fall, particularly if
the flower stalks are periodically removed as they start to age. The
gray succulent foliage of Calandrinia grandiflora grow 12-18" tall
and will slowly spread to 3 feet or more wide. Calandrinia
grandiflora grows well in full sun and will tolerate a moderate amount of
shade and still bloom. The Rock Purslane is quite drought tolerant
once established and is relatively hardy as succulents go, withstanding
Winter nights down into the low teens.

Finding Art Market Stars – artmarketblog.com
You may have heard something about my search for an artist that has the potential for stardom in the cut-throat world art market but needs some guidance and assistance in making use of that potential to further their career. This search has taken the form of a competition which I named the Next Star Artist competition because, well, I am trying to find the Next Star Artist. I knew that the competition would be controversial and I knew that there would be plenty of people who opposed the commercial nature of the competition but, at the end of the day, the primary purpose of the competition is to help an artist to achieve their goals. Whether or not you agree with the commercialisation of fine art, the fact remains that an artist is just as entitled to aim for commercial success and seek financial reward for their work as anyone else. As with any market that involves the exchange of goods for money there are unfortunately people within the art market who fail to give artist's the respect, recognition that they deserve and it is these people who tarnish people's perception of the art market.
I came across an article today on the website of the UK Times Newspaper by David Lee who is the editor of The Jackdaw, a newsletter for visual artists. This article, titled "Charles Saatchi and the fine art of making money", basically criticises Charles Saatchi for his profit motivated art dealings but in doing so Lee has also expressed highly negative views of some of the artist's that Saatchi has chosen to invest in which could potentially do more damage to the artists careers than what Lee is accusing Saatchi of doing. Just because Saatchi profits from his art dealings doesn't necessarily mean that the artists he promotes deserve to have their reputations tarnished.
Now that I have got that off my chest, back to the Next Star Artist competition which is starting to get extremely exciting. Ten finalists have been chosen and are being judged as we speak by a panel of experts from all areas of the art world who will decide which of the ten finalists has the greatest potential for stardom. The winner of the Next Star Artist competition will be announced on the 27th of June.
To see the ten finalists of the Next Star Artist competition go to:
Please feel free to leave a comment for the judges saying who you think should be the winner and why.

What really makes an art star? Interesting question, but I think its fluke really…It seems like its about the right art world celebrity (dealers, curators etc) stumbling on your work and deciding (objectively) that it has potential or worth.. (just look at Basquait)
Hence, I would love for someone to create a "reality tv test" of taking a $50000 abstract work from a prestigious gallery, remove the fancy frame and hang it for $100 in a little cafe… I bet it wouldn't necessarily sell! I think its all about positioning….
I further wage that you could do the reverse and take a unknown $100 abstract work, place a fancy frame around it and hang it in a famous NY gallery and a rich celebrity would probably drop $50K for it based solely on where it is hanging!

Thing is, I was reading "I Shall Wear Midnight" on my Amazon reading thingy on the way to London, and half way through one of the characters I noted was called Brian. Well, not unusual, rather chuffed as that is my name. And there it was again, so far so good, but then I came to a part and Tiffany shouted to this Brian character ... "Brian Roberts you put that down right now ...." or words to that effect.
I thought, thats clever. Kindle books can replace names, probably knows who I am though my registration and the book has placeholders for the First and Surname which get filled in.
Turns out I was wrong, the character does exist in paperback as one Brian Roberts, and as that's my actual really real name, I feel rather proud of that

Removing Bad Publicity
The reach of the Internet is a bit of a double-edged sword: while word of your business can extend far and wide, that also means that your business can earn a negative reputation just as quickly. To combat this, there are several measures that can reverse your business' bad publicity and ensure that your company's online presence won't be overcome with negative feedback.
Over 60% of Internet users will only peruse the first page of results on a search engine before entering new search terms, so it's crucial to stay on top of your company's SERPs (search engine result pages) and be informed of any negative attention your business generates.
The next step is devising a strategy for reputation management, which can include a combination of approaches: confronting the negativity directly, starting an organic SEO campaign, and circulating positive PR are just three ways that you can reverse bad publicity.
Every company must deal with dissatisfied customers, but what sets a successful company apart from the rest is that those who reach out and address their customers' problems are much more likely to reverse that dissatisfaction.
Confront and Respond to Negative Publicity
One way to address negative publicity is by seeking out negative feedback aimed at your company and responding in a respectful manner. No matter how inflammatory or unfair the review is, keep an upbeat, positive tone with any response. In the best-case scenario, the review writer can retract his or her feedback. If that doesn't work, and the feedback still shows prominently in search results, it will also show that your company acknowledged the problem rather than ignoring it or accusing the reviewer of making false statements.
A skilled copywriter can address these issues with the clarity and tact necessary to diffuse the situation. A response should point out the truths in the original feedback and also point out any misconceptions. You can also take this opportunity to leave contact information to reassure other customers that your company is easily accessible when problems arise.
Start an Organic SEO Campaign
An organic campaign will take a natural approach to giving you the right publicity in SERPs.
While public relations departments are highly trained in dealing with bad publicity, they might not have the tools necessary to address these issues on such a large scale – this is where SEO companies come into play. With extensive knowledge in the workings of Internet search engines, SEO specialists can not only bump up positive reviews but also bury negative publicity so that your company's reputation remains intact.
Start a Positive PR Campaign
Circulate some positive PR by having copywriters compose articles about your company and your products. Put your latest market research to work in articles that address all the negative publicity and – at the same time – show why customers should choose you over your competitors.
If bad publicity becomes so widespread that your company inevitably shows up in SERPs in a negative light, the best thing you can do is address the accusations on your own website.
Overall, the best thing your company can do to combat negative publicity is to confront it rather than ignore it. By taking this proactive approach, you can set the record straight and regain consumer confidence.
