V.V. Cooke Chevrolet, The Dealership
The dealership was established in 1930, operating with great success for two decades in two locations as it grew. A new state-of-the-art facility was designed and built for the '52 model year. The opening of this operation was announced to the public with a twelve-page supplement to the local newspaper and an eight-day celebration.
Mr. V.V. Cooke Sr. ran a very tight ship and in doing so garnered respect and dedication from his employees, which at one time in the '60s exceeded one hundred. His technicians were so well trained and proficient that performance-seeking customers came from all over Kentucky, as well as Indiana and Tennessee, for their expertise. An in-house apprentice program placed young mechanics with a seasoned veteran for 1-2 years upon arrival.
The sales department was second to none, as were all the members of the staff. In 1990, a list was comprised of over 75 automotive businesses spawned by previous mechanics, salesmen, and bodymen who had learned their automotive trade there.
As V.V. Cooke Sr. eased into retirement, V.V. Jr. took the reins in the '60s during the performance era. This fit V.V. Jr.'s interest perfectly, and the Corvette was his car of choice for his personal drivers. They were always modified and painted with a tasteful combination of red, white, and blue, which were also the chosen colors of the '63 and '69 Corvette race cars. At the close of the business in 1981, V.V. Jr.'s Corvette collection was an even dozen, one for each era and each body style. Advertisements for the performance business with his own winning B-production Corvette and oval track '69 Camaro clearly identified V.V. Cooke Chevrolet as the high-performance leader.
One Such Two-Page Ad Stated:
"Does our racing give us an edge? We think you'll agree that it does because it shows that our service department has the mechanical know-how and skill to compete successfully in the demanding world of high-performance racing. Because of the extra effort required, our parts people are probably better equipped with technical know-how on what parts your car needs for its best performance. Our racing reputation keeps our sales department on their toes with the knowledge and the experience to help you choose the right car for your specific needs. Ok, racing does develop skills and knowledge that make our mechanics top drawer, but the real 'edge' comes from the teamwork experienced throughout the company, keeping our cars winning.
"Allan Barker took the V.V. Cooke Chevrolet race Corvette to the top at the American road race of champions last Sunday at road Atlanta. This is the contest that settles all the arguments. Our car, with Allan at the wheel, has brought home the top honors in this class for three years in a row. No one has ever done this before. We not only beat all of the cars in our class (B-production) but we also clobbered 11 class A-production cars in the process. To tell the truth, we're so tickled at having won this very important event that we have declared this coming week 'Corvette Champion Week.' Our entire showroom will be devoted to these great cars. Right in the center, all shined up for the occasion, will be the winning car itself. Allan will be on hand at certain times to talk racing with anyone interested. One other thing: The red carpet is out for Corvette shoppers this week because we think we've got a big edge on knowledge, understanding and experience with these magnificent automobiles. To help spread enthusiasm around, we've made a substantial reduction in the price of all Corvettes now on hand for this week only. We've got the best selection of Corvettes in this area including coupes, convertibles, automatics and four speeds, some with air, stereo and electric windows."
V.V. Cooke Chevrolet, Seller Of The First Corvette In Kentucky
When the '53 Corvette came out, V.V. Cooke Chevrolet received the first one delivered in Kentucky. Upon arrival, V.V. Jr. was enthralled with its striking appearance and sports car appeal. The car was so unique that Chevrolet Motor Division sent in a service technician to go over the car with the dealership mechanic. With this formality out of the way, V.V. Jr. just had to try it out. What an afternoon that turned out to be!
Printed for you, with V.V. Jr.'s permission, is his personal description of that day's events and a photo of the eventual purchaser, Mr. Volz of Volz Chevrolet in Madison, Indiana, seated in his new Corvette at delivery time. It is still unclear as to whether Mr. Volz was informed of his Corvette's first days outing. This letter was presented in 1999 to Jim Mayden, who performed the body and paint work on the Corvette race cars, as well as V.V. Jr.'s personal Corvettes. Jim was a 20-year-employee of the company and now operates the Jim Mayden body shop in the same facility.

At a food distribution site in Boyes Hot Springs, 164 people came for a box of free food two weeks ago, a nearly 27 percent increase over previous weeks at the Catholic Charities site.
It's a scene playing out across Sonoma County as more people turn to charitable organizations for food. At the same time, donations — of both food and money — are well below last year, in some cases as much as 30 percent lower than in 2010.
"We are definitely seeing more people in need," said Billy Bartz, food drive and events coordinator for the Redwood Empire Food Bank.
Three years ago, the Redwood Empire Food Bank provided emergency food assistance to 60,000 people in Sonoma County every month. This year, that number has spiked to 78,000 — about 34,000 of whom are children, Bartz said.
"It's almost one out of six (Sonoma County residents) who are food insecure," he said. "We are kind of this 911 for people that are in need."
While demand is skyrocketing, donations are off 30 percent for the Winter Food Funds Drive, the food bank's largest fund drive of the year. The food bank goal is $225,000 and 225,000 pounds of food by Jan. 31, Bartz said.
Last year, the food bank surpassed its goal of $165,000 and eventually pulled in nearly $220,000 during the drive, according to Bartz.
There are more individual canned food drives being held in support of the food bank this year, but the pounds of food being donated remain flat.
It's unclear why the decline in giving has been so steep.
The ripple effect of the fall-off in support is felt across the county, as the food bank partners with 149 agencies to distribute about 13 million pounds of food annually to those who are "food insecure."

LOL, Wednesday, eh ? - thanks Larry... This particular unit had 2 twin-ax cards in it so two virtual control unit sessions and yes, using Anynet. I'm POSITIVE everything is plugged into the UPS and that is what threw me on this. One virtual control unit did how active the whole time (just under 30 minutes) but no devices active, obviously and the other dropped. So I figured I should have been able to ping at list the active session but no go - weird. As far as the unit rebooting; as long as those things take, it came up way to quick for that :-) I was considering sticking a couple of terminals in the wiring closet, connect to each "brick" so if it was dependent on a device, that would keep everything active and guarantee that the control didn't fail... Terminals are so cheap. Thanks ! Chuck -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Larry Bolhuis Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 2:35 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: Question on Perle 494 Control Unit/Communications... Chuck, I haven't worked with Perle units in a while, well at least not since Wednesday! The Perle itself will continue to communicate with the AS/400 as long as it can reach it. Even if no devices are on line it will maintain the APPC link (likely via ANYNET in your case) and the workstation controller should stay active. It's likely that once the power came back on the Perle rebooted and came alive, or possibly an infrastructure device (aka switch or hub) was NOT up (maybe plugged into the wall?) and the link was broken. Hubs/switches come up real fast so that could explain the quick return on power restoration. - Larry

I was so eager to dive into my new copy of Viva Vegan! this weekend and try out a new recipe. It was really hard to decide what to make first, there were so many tantalizing ones. I finally chose this enchilada dish because, well, who doesn't like enchiladas?
A couple things to note: the recipe is actually for Potato-Chickpea Enchiladas, but my husband can't stand chickpeas unless they're in hummus or falafel. It's the whole chickpeas he doesn't like. So I substituted pinto beans but I think black beans or black-eyed peas could also be really good in this dish.
The other note is that this recipe, like many others in the book, was very time-consuming to make, hence my designation as "weekend cooking." I made the tomatillo sauce and the pine nut crema yesterday, then did the filling and assembly today. As a matter of fact, Romero even gives a make-ahead tip to make the components over the course of three weeknights, then put them all together the next day. I'm not saying they weren't worth the effort - we really enjoyed them - but they were definitely a lot of work. So don't think you can just whip these up in a flash if you, like me, usually get home from work around 7:00pm ready to gnaw your own arm off and need something quick, like Rachel Ray quick, or else you're going to have a situation.
This was my first experience cooking anything with tomatillos. I was somewhat concerned to discover that they have kind of an odd smell and a sticky surface after you peel off the papery husks, but this went away after I washed them. After boiling the tomatillos about 10 minutes, then letting them cool, I pulsed them in a food processor with garlic, a couple jalapeno peppers, onion and cilantro leaves. (I know I recently commented on hating cilantro... so maybe calling them "vile" was too strong. I'm not a big fan, but they seemed an integral part of this recipe, and I really didn't mind them in it. The cilantro taste was not overwhelming.) Then you boil the mixture with vegetable broth until it thickens.
The pine nut crema was very quick easy to make. You pretty much just blend some soft silken tofu, pine nuts, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and cornstarch until it's smooth and creamy. It had a nice garlicky punch and citric tang to it that I liked a lot.
The filling mixture is where it gets a little more involved. First, it requires roasted jalapeno or serrano peppers. I discovered that it's actually pretty fun to roast peppers directly on my stove burner. It's kind of like sticking marshmallows into the camp fire and waiting for them to get all black and charred. Or maybe it just appeals to the inner pyromaniac in me. If your burners have wide spaces, it helps to have one of these diffusers, which we actually use for our stovetop espresso maker. It was the perfect size for holding the jalapeno while they roasted. After they are charred on all sides, you put them in a covered dish or paper bag, and wait for them to cool. As they cool, the moisture will loosen up the skin so you can easily rub it off. After you remove the skin, split them open and clean out the seeds, then they are ready to be prepared as directed by the recipe.
The filling is a combination of diced potatoes that have been boiled until soft, chickpeas (or beans of your choice), garlic, onion, the roasted jalapenos, spices, and vegetable broth. You cook it down until the broth has reduced, and then I used a potato masher to make a chunky texture.
The assembly is fun in a messy way, and definitely helps to have two people working together. You need: a cast iron skillet to warm the corn tortillas, a pie pan filled with some of the tomatillo sauce, and then a casserole dish with some of the sauce spread on the bottom. Making one at a time, my husband would warm a tortilla, then I coated both sides in the sauce, then put it in the casserole dish, then scooped about 3 heaping Tbsp. of the filling down the middle, rolled it up tightly, and then started on the next one. I ended up with enough filling for 10 enchiladas. You could probably stretch it to 12 if you used a little less filling than I did.
Step #1
Step #2
Step #3
I felt like these enchiladas had many layers of interesting flavors to them. They weren't very spicy to my taste, but the roasted jalapeno added good flavor (they probably would have been spicier if I had left some seeds in them). I liked how all the elements complemented each other, but if I have any critique I would have to say that I would have preferred to have some contrasting textures in there. They needed something crunchy, or chewy, to give them some bite. As they were, they were somewhat mono-textural (is that a word?), with that texture being soft and somewhat mushy. But I think that the tomatillo sauce and the pine nut crema are very versatile and would work with all kinds of different fillings. I will definitely make this recipe again and try some variations on the filling, next time I have a weekend to dedicate to the project!

So the YouTube clips must be from whatever has been filmed.
No release date on the horizon : (
Re: Sin-Jin Smyth
I've read in several places that it's never going to be released. I think it's due to lack of funds. Really sucks, I was looking forward to it for a long time. I'm sure Jonathan would play/played the Devil perfectly.
Re: Sin-Jin Smyth
I read the same, that it was cancelled. Hopefully, someone will decide to finish it. I'm sure Jon would be great in the movie
Re: Sin-Jin Smyth
Weird sh**, while watching tv yesterday I heard the name Sinjin twice. One was a murderer/rapist using that as a screen name. The other was something about a US beach volleyball champ whose name is: Sinjin Smith...with an "i". Random.

A cockpit measuring 174 sq. ft. makes the Bertram 570 battle-ready, and is fitted with an oversized transom door with lift gate in anticipation of your tournament winning deep-water catch. A versatile bait and tackle center with sink, salt and fresh water faucets, cutting board, top loading freezer and circulating baitwell, all standard equipment, enhance the pleasure of the sport.
Newly introduced for model year 2007 is optional mezzanine cockpit seating. Remarkably, the mezzanine layout only reduces cockpit space by a few inches, which is important to a design that carries beam further aft and maintains the cockpit square foot advantage common to every Bertram. Most significantly, this layout also offers more seating, encompassing all the value-added features that a mezzanine layout should provide.
Offering standard and optional layouts throughout the interior, Bertram 570 ensures that good living will be as inevitable as good fishing. A 16' 11" beam affords a spacious and beautifully appointed entertainment area. The dinette seats five adults in comfort, to enjoy edibles from a galley boasting a full size upright refrigerator, four-burner range, double sink, ample food prep area and over-counter storage. Or, for those who prefer an under-counter refrigerator, the 570 offers an alternative layout for enhanced visibility of the entire salon and the beautiful outdoors.
Below decks, the master stateroom is mid-ship with queen berth, excellent storage space and an adjoining private head. The forward VIP cabin offers a queen berth and private head, or the option of split over/under berths. The third cabin is laid out with Bertram's unique side-by side berths and nightstand; its adjoining head can also be accessed from the companionway as a day head.
The new focus within the Ferretti Group is improving 'comfort logic.' Unlike most of its competitors, the Bertram 570 has reached new levels of technology and leisure on board. In addition to the sound insulation being doubled, special attention has been given to the arrangement of the lounge and entertainment areas.
Yet the most remarkable of the 'comfort logic' features has to be the exclusive Anti Rolling Gyro (ARG) system - the Mitsubishi gyro stabilizer that reduces rolling motion by over 50% both at trolling speed and at anchor.

Both hope and hype are in plentiful supply during any election cycle.
But in just more than one week, the rhetoric will level off and fade. Lines at courthouses, schools and other polling places packed with people exercising their constitutional right will dissipate and reveal empty space. The sign wars will end. The "I approved this message" cacophony will give way to congratulatory and "new direction" speak.
The only thing that remains are the winners.
Obviously, the Nov. 6 presidential contest between Democratic incumbent Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney is the main event. But there are numerous important contests that will affect the well-being of the smallest communities and individuals.
Tennessee will send one of its two senators back to the halls of Congress for another six years, and Republican Bob Corker, who first took office in 2006, appears to be comfortably in the driver's seat. Mark Clayton bested the field in the Democratic primary. Corker also has one Green Party and one Constitution Party opponent to contend with, as well as five independents.
U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, R-1st, is seeking his third congressional go-round. The former Johnson City mayor is featuring his "People. Not Politics." campaign slogan again this year. His Democratic opponent, Gray's Alan Woodruff, has tried unsuccessfully to get Roe to debate him. Woodruff has continually labeled Congress as "dysfunctional."
Green Party candidate Robert Smith and independents Karen Sherry Brackett and Michael Salyer also are on the ballot for the seat.
Republican Micah Van Huss, who threw his hat in the political ring for the first time in August for the right to run as the GOP candidate for the state's 6th House District seat and defeated incumbent Rep. Dale Ford, R-Jonesborough, appears to have the geographically reliable Republican vote at his fingertips.
He faces Democrat Michael Clark of Gray. The Johnson City native calls himself a progressive, common sense Democrat who has continued over the past few election years to say the rights of Tennesseans have been trampled by corporate interests.
The 7th House District also is a two-person race.
Incumbent Republican Matthew Hill was first elected to the House in 2004. When re-elected in re-elected in 2006, he defeated Fred Phillips, former Washington County sheriff and Tennessee Department of Safety director, and now he is seeking his fifth term.
Democrat Nancy Fischman faces the incumbent for this seat, and she is quite aware of the strong Republican voting block in the district.
Hill's younger brother, Timothy, is the Republican candidate for the 3rd House District seat. He ran unsuccessfully for the GOP spot in 2010. He formerly was employed as a press secretary by former U.S. Rep. David Davis and owns Right Way Marketing.
He faces Democrat Leah Kirk and Green Party candidate Suzanne Parker.
The 2nd House District race features Republican incumbent Tony Shipley, who is seeking a third term and won a another shot at this seat by defeating former Kingsport Alderman Ben Mallicote in the August primary by a mere 11 votes.
Shipley faces Democrat Bruce Dotson. A retired mechanic and president of the AFL-CIO's Upper East Central Labor Council, Dotson knows the odds of overcoming a GOP incumbent are slim.
The 4th House District matches a first-time entry, Republican and free market advocate Thomas Gray III against former House Speaker Kent Williams, the only independent member of the Tennessee General Assembly.
Williams was first elected in 2006 as a Republican. He served a two-year term as House speaker and was subsequently dismissed from the GOP by former Republican Chairman Robin Smith.
Meanwhile, Elizabethton will, for the first time since the 1940s, let citizens vote on a referendum that would allow package stores that sell liquor and wine. A businessman who owns property in that city initiated the push to allow the stores. He also was the main person behind the circulation of the petition.
Four City Council candidates are running for three open seats. Those candidates include incumbent and current Mayor Curt Alexander, who has been on the council since 2004 and mayor since 2006.
Six candidates are running for three open seats on the Elizabethton Board of Education. The lone incumbent is Rita Booher.

History Of the Public Land survey Office
Due to the long history of land transfers tied to the monumentation placed by the U.S. General Land Office (GLO), the surveyor of today must try to relocate the original corner positions as closely as possible.
Since this process is totally dependent on the records of the GLO and all subsequent surveyors, it is necessary to ensure that those records are available. This is a major undertaking. In Washington State, the GLO established nearly 250,000 corner positions. This activity created a large volume of records which are in constant use today. To supplement this public record, in 1973, the legislature passed the Survey Recording Act (SRA). Since then, the SRA has caused an additional 250,000 records to be added to the public research material available for the surveyor. The PLSO has copies of these record groups in its repository. Records lost and in danger However, the records from surveys done since the GLO but prior to 1973 are unlikely to be in an accessible public file. Some are in various forms of archival-type storage at museums, historical societies, universities, state and federal archives, government offices, etc. Typically, these record groups are indexed by proper name, whereas the surveyor needs to access the material by legal description. Research of these records is difficult, time-consuming and subject to error. Many other records are stored in basements, garages, attics or backrooms by private companies, retired surveyors or by relatives of the now deceased surveyor. As storage needs or ownerships change, the security of these historical records is jeopardized. There are incidents where relatives, not realizing the usefulness of the material in their possession, have thrown away valuable survey records. PLSO as a survey repository The PLSO is authorized to collect and preserve information obtained from surveys locating and establishing land monuments and boundaries. If you are aware of records that might be thrown away, or are inadequately indexed for the survey researcher, please notify this office.

The Fama tells the story of the "Father C.R." (later on C.R.C., the mythical Alchemist Christian Rosenkreuz), his ill-fated pilgrimage to Jerusalem; his subsequent tutelage by the secret sages of the east, the wise men of Damcar in Arabia, from whom he learned the ancient esoteric knowledge which included the study of physics, mathematics, magic and kabbalah; his return through Egypt and Fes and his presence among the alumbrados in Spain. It is thought in occultism that Rosenkreuz's pilgrimage seems to refer to transmutation steps of the Great Work.
After his arrival to Germany, Father C.R. and other Brothers established an esoteric Christian Fraternity: "The Fraternity of the Rose Cross". The Brothers of the Fraternity were sent in mission throughout the world, having as their first priority to use their knowledge to "cure the sick" in a free of charge way "that gratis", not wearing any special clothing, and met once each year in the mysterious "House of the Holy Spirit".
The Legend shows an agreement with six articles that they drew up Prior to their separation, bounding themselves one to another to keep:
The sentence "C.R.C.'s deceased father's brother's son" has always been a deeply enigmatic one. There is the possibility that it may refer to the rebirth process, a central tenet teaching of groups having, or claiming to have, a Rosicrucian philosophy. This would imply that "Father C.R.", possibly of the 13th/14th century, would have been reborn to "R.C.", becoming the 14th/15th century C.R.C. in the Manifestos. This appears to confirm what several later sources wrote about the Rosicrucian movement:
"Secundi Circuli"
The enigmatic "Fra. F.R.C." in the vault (the "R.C." in the narrative, see above) is mentioned as "heir"; this statement "younger heir of the house of the holy spirit" seems to provide evidence of the intimate relation to "Father C.R.", possibly meaning "Father R.C." [forming the C.R.C. initials]:
According to Émile Dantinne (1884–1969), the origins of the Rosicrucians may have an Islamic connection. Rosenkreuz started his pilgrimage at the age of sixteen. This led him to Arabia, Egypt, and Morocco, where he came into contact with sages of the East who revealed to him the "universal harmonic science." After learning Arabic philosophy in Jerusalem, he was led to Damcar. This place remains a mystery—it did not become Damascus but is somewhere not too far from Jerusalem. Then he stopped briefly in Egypt. Soon afterwards, he embarked to Fes, a center of philosophical and occult studies, such as the alchemy of Abu-Abdallah, Gabir ben Hayan, and Imam Jafar al Sadiq, the astrology and magic of Ali-ash-Shabramallishi, and the esoteric science of Abdarrahman ben Abdallah al Iskari. However, Dantinne states that Rosenkreuz may have found his secrets amongst the Brethren of Purity, a society of philosophers that had formed in Basra (Iraq) sometime during the 900s. Their doctrine had its source in the study of the ancient Greek philosophers, but it became more neo-Pythagorean. They adopted the Pythagorean tradition of envisioning objects and ideas in terms of their numeric aspects. Their theurgy and esoteric knowledge is expounded in an epistolary style in the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity.
The Brethren of Purity and the Sufis were united in many points of doctrine. They both were mystical orders deriving from Qur'anic theology but supplanting dogma with a faith in the Divine Reality. There were many similarities between the Rosicrucian way as expressed in the manifestos and the way of life of the Brethren of Purity. Neither group wore special clothing, both practiced abstinence, they healed the sick, and they offered their teachings free of charge. Similarities also were evident in the doctrinal elements of their theurgy and the story of creation in terms of emanationism.

When the stakes are high, you need an experienced military defense attorney who knows how to represent you to the fullest extent of the law. Russell Shinn not only knows the law – he taught, mentored and led defense counsel for years in the Marine Corps – he knows how to get you the best possible outcome.
If the military notified you that you are being processed for administrative separation, your career, livelihood, and ability to find future employment hangs in the balance. You need a fighter on your side like Russell Shinn – who isn't afraid to take the government to task and get you the outcome you deserve!
Russell Shinn spent time enlisted and as an officer – he knows that records get messed up and need to be pulled or corrected all the time. Whether you are currently serving and need a fitness report or performance evaluation pulled, or you are out and need your prior service record corrected, Russell Shinn can help.
Russell Shinn knows that when you're facing a medical board, a physical evaluation board or need assistance with your Veterans Administration disability claim, you often need someone advocating on your behalf to get what you rate. Russell Shinn has been there… He can help.
Who Is Russell Shinn?
A True Passion for Defense
Russell Shinn is a retired Marine judge advocate and prior enlisted infantryman, enlisting in 1994 and retiring from active duty in 2014. He is also a zealous advocate for defending our Constitution and individual liberties.
He's worked tough cases – homicide, rape, forcible sodomy, child pornography, assault with a deadly weapon, to name a few – and he's worked high-profile cases featured on major news networks including NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, ABC, and MSNBC, among others. He was hand-picked to start the brand-new Defense Counsel Assistance Program within the Marine Corps, providing expert advice, resources, and consultation to Marine defense attorneys across the globe. He has testified in front of a Congressionally-mandated panel on sexual assault and aided his sister-services in the development of training and material for their defense attorneys and support personnel.
Raised in the Deep South (Starkville, MS and Central, SC) for most of his childhood, Russell moved to Texas his senior year of high school. He grew up knowing he was going to be a Marine. That being said, he was a scrawny kid – quite aware of the inequalities of size and influence – but determined to fight for the right and just causes.
He is a July 2014 graduate of the Spence Trial Lawyers College and is often contacted to teach fellow defense attorneys at continuing legal education seminars across the nation, on topics ranging from cross examination to trial tactics to using technology in the courtroom.
As a Marine, Russell has served – and excelled – in every billet from an infantry scout platoon sergeant (that's him in the picture, in the front of the stack, covering his Marines as they enter to clear a building in Fallujah) to a logistics company commander, from a defense counsel to a staff judge advocate, in places as far flung as Okinawa, Japan; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Camp Fallujah, Iraq; Camp Lejeune, NC; and at the Pentagon. He has been in intense combat during Operation PHANTOM FURY and battled in the courtroom across the globe.
Russell is known throughout the military justice community for his ability to fight – smart and hard – in and out of the courtroom to get his clients the best possible outcome.
Open Lines of Communication
Russell Shinn is dedicated to using technology to make himself available to his clients – from using simple things such as call forwarding to his cell when he's out of the office to Google Hangouts or Apple FaceTime to connect visually. He also has a secure online portal where he and his clients can share files without the worries of the government snooping in the client's work email. At the end of your case, you'll even get an electronic copy of your case file, free of charge.
Global Practice, Personal Touch
Russell Shinn's practice is global – he has represented clients and tried cases all over the world. He is based in a small town just south of Denver, close to a major airport hub that makes flying to courts easy and relatively cheap, plus he utilizes technology to make the distance seem like you are right next door. Put another way, no location is too remote for Russell to reach if you are a servicemember in need of legal representation. Give him a call – you'll be glad that you did.
Ready To Fight
With an "unmatched work ethic," Russell Shinn is ready to fight for you. As one client put it, Russell "is not afraid to stand up for his client, no matter how big the opposition may be and do what is right." If you are in the battle of your life, you want someone who has seen combat, faced the enemy head-on, and lived to fight another day. You want an experienced litigator – a courtroom warrior – who is going to fight for you. Russell Shinn is that warrior.
Purposefully Small
Russell has been in situations where he had a large volume of cases; however, his firm's unofficial motto is: purposefully small. He doesn't want to wear the flashiest clothes, have a huge house, or even have multiple houses. What he does want is to provide spectacularly great legal services to his clients, be a great dad and husband, and be a good human being. Weirdly, he doesn't think these things are mutually exclusive. That's the philosophy behind his practice. We think you'll like it if you are his client, his co-counsel, or even his opposing counsel.
What People Say About Russell Shinn
Outstanding lawyer who will fight for his client.
Professionally gifted.
I will recommend Scott Russell Shinn to argue my case to get in the "pearly gates".
Fee Estimates
Some lawyers choose not to provide their rates on their websites, especially for flat fees. Russell respectfully disagrees. You need to know going in what the cost will be and what service you are getting for what you are paying. Lawyers can be expensive. You certainly can find civilian defense lawyers cheaper than Russell (and much more expensive), but if you choose to retain him, you are paying for his experience, training, intellect, and passion, among other things. As an analogy, you could spend less and drive a cheap 1985 Yugo to work and hope that it would, in fact, go… or you could spend more to have a dependable vehicle that not only gets to where you need to go but makes a great impression on the people you need it to (in this situation, that would be the judge, the jury, or your Commanding Officer). On the flipside, there's no need to have a Ferrari. You certainly may have one, if you can afford it, but it's neither required nor necessarily cost-effective.
Russell's flat-rate and hourly fees are negotiable and they do vary depending on the complexity of the case. For example, he charges less for a simple unauthorized absence case with only a few witnesses involved than he does for a more complex case that involves experts, lots of witness, and exhibit production.
The estimates below are a general guideline of what Russell Shinn charges and if you decide to retain him as your military defense counsel, you will be certain that he earns every penny working to get you the best possible outcome. Russell Shinn can't guarantee you a specific result, but he can guarantee you hard work, communication, strong ethics, and a track record that backs up his claims.
Article 32 Investigations
Russell Shinn charges a range, depending on case complexity, of $10,000-12,000 for most Article 32's. This may change in the relatively near future since the FY14 NDAA made substantial changes to the Article 32 process. Yours could be less, or more.
General Courts-Martial
Russell charges a range, depending on case complexity, of $25,000-50,000 for most GCMs. You are probably saying "holy s**t, that's a lot of money!" You're right. It is. What that number brings you is hundreds and hundreds of hours of work, all focused on getting you the best possible outcome.
Special Courts-Martial
Russell charges a range, depending on case complexity, of $10,000-15,000 for most special courts-martials. Yours could be less, or more. Factors that contribute to the cost include the number of witnesses, the complexity of the charges, the volume of evidence, among others. Russell will be glad to discuss this with you – openly and honestly.
Boards of Inquiry/Officer Administrative Separations
Russell normally charges between $10,000 – $15,000 for a Board of Inquiry (BOI) or officer administrative separation hearings. Boards of Inquiry are a strange breed – its a administrative board but it is closer to a "trial" than an enlisted administrative separation board, with more-senior members, the judge advocate recorder/prosecutor, and other issues that make it a more complex process than an enlisted administrative separation hearing.
Enlisted Administrative Separations
Russell normally charges between $5,000 – $10,000 for enlisted administrative separation hearings. He treats these just like contested special court-martial trials: prepping witnesses, preparing exhibits, and having a case strategy that will achieve the best possible result for you. Many, many hours are poured into preparing for an AdSep board and you can be confident that Russell will come out of your corner, ready for the fight and landing punches.
Physical Evaluation Boards, Medical Evaluation Boards, and Veterans Disability Claims
These fees Russell charges for Medical Boards, PEB cases, and VA disability claims cases vary on the client's ability to pay and his current workload. He understands the sensitive nature of these issues and is willing to discuss a fee structure that will work for the client and the law office.
Having a determination by the MEB, PEB or VA that is correct is absolutely vital in getting what you rate. Some clients want, desperately, to be found fit so they can return to the fight. Others want only to be given the determination that they deserve and rate. They sometimes need a lawyer to help them in this fight. As a medically-retired judge advocate, he can speak from experience that he is well-suited to help.
Records Correction & Boards for Correction of Military Records
These fees Russell charges for records correction and the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR – Army & Air Force) and Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR – Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard) cases also vary from case to case, depending largely on how much time is going to be involved on the case. It can be as little as $3,500 to as much as $15,000, with the primary factors being (a) the likelihood of success, (b) how hard you want to fight despite the odds, and (c) what is needed to overcome the odds.
Hourly Rates
Russell charges $300/hour for clients who elect to not have a flat fee plan or if it makes sense for their particular issue. That sounds like a lot. It is a lot. What that brings you is the peace of mind and the experience that Russell can add to your case. If you think that an experienced attorney is expensive, dealing with the aftermath of an inexperienced attorney is much worse.

Boise is the capital, largest city, and cultural center of Idaho. The clean and attractive downtown is framed by mountains to the northeast and irrigated agricultural plains to the west. The economy is a diverse blend of agriculture, agricultural processing, light manufacturing, and high-tech industries, including Micron Technology (semiconductors), Hewlett-Packard, and J.R. Simplot (agriculture and french-fry fame). The presence of state government rounds out the economic picture. More recently, the mountains, pleasant climate and low costs relative to other West Coast locations has brought a strong surge of migrants, many from California, and the typical construction real estate and service businesses that emerge from such migration. Considerable recent job growth has resulted from this migration.
Outdoor recreation is abundant, with excellent fishing, hiking, bicycling, and other activities, particularly in the Boise National Forest just to the northeast. Bogus Basin offers an after-work ski opportunity 20 miles away. In town, the North End is a successful tree-shaded urban restoration for mixed residential and commercial use. The historic commercial area west of downtown has been revitalized and serves as a destination with a well-attended farmer's market. Boise State University adds some college life, but entertainment and nightlife are not the city's strong suits.
Residential areas have begun to sprawl into agricultural lands to the west towards Eagle and Nampa, resulting in suburban sprawl and concerns about traffic and water supply, although many of these suburbs are more attractive than other Western counterparts. Mostly due to inbound migration, the area is experiencing an economic boom, but there are some questions how long it will continue and how it will affect the quality of life long term. Cost of living is growing but is still reasonable especially for the region. Boise is an attractive capital city with a lot going for it today.
The Boise Mountains, which rise 5,000 feet to 8,000 feet, are covered with a mix of sagebrush and chaparral, giving way to ridges of fir, spruce, and pine at the summits. To the south and west, the land is generally level with benches defined by former flows of the Boise and Snake rivers. Most of this land is used for irrigated agriculture. The climate is dry and seasonal with sufficient variation. Summer has a typical continental upland climate, with low humidity and generally pleasant days, punctuated by an occasional thunderstorm or heat wave from the south. Temperatures over 100 degrees occur nearly every year. Winters are mostly mild with periods of clouds and brisk, stormy weather. There is little wind, and occasional cold spells drop temperatures to 10 degrees or lower with occasional snow and periods of fog. Most precipitation occurs in the winter. Fall is ideal and spring is pleasant but marked with change. First freeze is early October, last is early May.
As of 2014, Nampa's population is 81,667 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 39.12 percent.
The median home cost in Nampa is $101,500. Home appreciation the last year has been 12.30 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Nampa's cost of living is 12.40% Lower than the U.S. average.
Nampa public schools spend $6,958 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 23.6 students per teacher in Nampa.

Mount Pleasant - The bond credit rating agency Standard & Poor's has upgraded the town's general obligation bond rating to AAA, its highest possible rating.
Only two other cities in South Carolina - Charleston and Greenville - hold the S&P's AAA rating.
Meanwhile, town officials said they think the municipality has a very good chance of being upgraded in the coming weeks by the other major credit rating agency, Moody's Investors Service, to its highest rating as well. Moody's now rates the town at Aa1, one step below the top rating. However, it recently raised its outlook for the town from "stable" to "positive."
These ratings express a credit rating agency's opinions about a municipality's ability to meet its financial obligations. The AAA rating, upgraded from AA+, expresses an extremely strong capacity to meet financial commitments.
"This more than good news. It is great news," the town's Finance Committee Chairman Chris O'Neal said.
Mayor Linda Page said the upgrade puts the town in an "elite" financial class.
The news came as Mount Pleasant issued $25 million in 2014 bonds, mostly to fund a new town hall project and for a Sweetgrass Parkway extension. The boost in ratings will save the town at least $110,000 in interest over the debt's 15-year life, said Charles Potts, the town's chief financial officer.

This is a great article about how Hanigan calls a game from behind the plate. I remember Walt saying that he really values catchers and for good reason - they are the ones who have to decide how to approach the pitch sequence. I thought Hanigan's ability to analyze the situation and rely less on scouting reports really shows how analytical he is when giving the signs to the pitcher. It's no wonder that his 3.36 ERA posted while calling the game was better than the team ERA of 4.01 for the season. Now if he can only speak Spanish fluently...:D

Art Market Analysis: The Stigma Of Sculpture
Sculpture is considered to be one of the most under valued mediums in the art market yet people continue to shun sculpture for paintings. I have been spending some time recently trying to figure out exactly what it is about sculpture that causes so many people to ignore it and have come to the conclusion that there is not one particular cause but there are many. As I see i the disadvantages of sculpture are:
-More associated with design and architecture than with the fine arts
-Sculptures often very large and not practical for collectors
-May take longer to create therefore smaller market
-Not as practical to display as hanging a painting on a wall
-Career solely based on sculpting not practical
-Sculpture seen as a supplement to painting
-Sculptures often created in multiples due to impracticality of producing one therefore makes the sculpture less desirable than a one off
-Seemingly less options and directions available with sculpture
These factors may not apply to every sculpture but combined they do present an obvious obstacle for the collector and investor. I am not sure when this stigma surrounding sculpture will be lifted but I sure hope it happens soon but in the meantime I would be looking out for the next Clement Meadmore if I was you!!!

I like your blog. On the subject of why people don't look at sculpture. Simply put; their doing some thing else . Yes it is an activity to look at sculpture in the raw. Direct contact with sculpture can be alot of things to alot of interested people but it has to be done to be enjoyed.
What is that potential art lover doing instead? It is like quiting smoking it must be replaced with another activity. We are living in conditional circumstances of time. How will it be used? In the mean time my sculptures that I have made are mute and do not move. You are welcome to come and see them and they are for sale. http://home.earthlink.net/~bobnrita/mysculpture
http://dorsetsculpture.blogspot.com/ Robert Mileham
It is tuff being an Artist and tougher being a Sculptor because of the higher costs of materials. I have not found any stigma against sculptors but good work exhibited with paintings will always suffer. The problem is outline distraction. If sculptural works are exhibited without clutter the results are dramatically improved.
Very glad I have found your blog.

Stigma? No.We unknowingly go on buying them almost
http://home.earthlink.net/~bobnrita/mysculpture Bob Keating
Mahesh Chandra, your comments on interacting with "sculpture" every day in the home as in a cooking pot are wonderfull and true. Bumping up against the phyical is a great way to have a relationship with the object world. If we imagined that every object in our homes was trying to say something to us we would not be alone and we would be ready to see the sculpture in a new way.
http://http//www.annakeiller.co.uk Anna Keiller
I suppose sculpture can be wall mounted as well – that would make them easier to display.
Aggrey Agwata
be it sculpture or painting art is suffering!! the young artists are being used, the name is the in thing! people buy a piece because of the name associated with it not considering its creative expression!! for sculpture it is more worse since those who have the "name" are probably so aged to produce a nice piece, they have a last option: use the young, who have the talent but lack the name!!! hey my brothers and sisters in the sculpture family, it is against the unwritten rules of art!! it is so painful!! if you wanna contact me over the same please do…
http://www.zimsculpture.com Alois
I think its all about creating reasonable sizes to diffrent markets. if you are making a stone sculpture it has to be small or big to fit the collector. I have artists under my stable http://www.zimsculpture.com they earn a living through art.

"He could have choosen some other wines, it was a bit standard."
Kristine L, Norway, June 2014
Paris Wine and Cheese Tasting Lunch
"The idea of the wine/cheese tasting is very good but value for money is not so good. The guy taking the class was excellent however the actual wine myself & partner fouind to be bland and not to expectations. Only dry white wine were given & red's. No sweeter wines are Rose. Overall good fun but very over priced."
Craig B, United Kingdom, February 2012
Paris Wine and Cheese Tasting Lunch
"Personal service and good wines and food!"
Svein E, Norway, December 2011
Paris Wine and Cheese Tasting Lunch
"It was a lovely lunch, fun and informative. We had a great group of people and even ended up making connections I hope will continue. The room and set up in the wine cellar was really neat. The gentleman who conducted the training was very knowlegeable and had a lot of personality which brought everyone together. Now, most important ...I found a new favorite wine and the cheeses were unbelievable! I am a cheese lover and have never tasted more delicious cheese! A very good experience all around! Thank you."
Anonymous, United States, February 2011
Paris Wine and Cheese Tasting Lunch
"The sommelier did a great job, the wines and cheeses were excellent and I will recommend it to anyone I know going to Paris. I suggest 2 improvements: I am a sommelier and teach a similar type of classes where I live. I suggested that a different glass be used for each wine to ensure participants can distinguish each wine. I also thought the class had too much material for the time. It was like Wine 101, 201 and 301 in just two hours - plus cheeses. I suggest cutting some of the more 'advanced' material to make the class simpler and to allow the sommelier to speak more slowly and clearly. The group I was in were all wine 'newbies' so it was too much information for them to take in all at once. Perhaps split the material into a Level 1 and 2?"

Doppelganger presents current trends in capturing the visual identity of human beings. Each of its seven chapters explores a different creative approach: Embody, Dissolve, Appeal, Reshape, Perform, Deform, and Escape. The book is a compelling and entertaining collection of groundbreaking permutations of the physical shell created with costumes and masks as well as photo-technical and artistic manipulation. While inventing, enhancing, obscuring, or altering identities, the images play with (and often obliterate) classical proportions and visual traditions.

WKU Safe Communities America Report
MANDATORY Insurance
As an Exchange Visitor in the United States and under the U.S. federal government rules, ALL J-1 scholars MUST carry health insurance for themselves and their J-2 dependents for the full duration of their J program in the States. U.S. government regulations stipulate that if the J-1 visa holder willfully fails to carry health insurance for her/himself and her/his dependents, the J-1 SEVIS record will be terminated resulting in the termination of the visitor's program and return back to his/her home country.
Additionally, health care in the United States is very expensive. A simple visit to a doctor can cost hundreds of dollars and staying in the hospital for a couple of days may cost thousands. Therefore, WKU (your J-1 visa sponsor) has negotiated, selected and approved a health plan that meets the U.S government requirements and ALL WKU International Scholars and their families MUST purchase the plan. All of Western Kentucky University's international scholars are automatically enrolled in Academic Health Plans insurance (AHP). The cost of WKU-AHP health insurance is estimated at $1600 per calendar year for the visiting scholar, however, the cost of health insurance for a spouse and child(ren) will be approximately three times the cost of the visiting scholar. Since AHP health insurance meets the U.S government requirement, DO NOT purchase health insurance in your home country or in the United States. You will purchase the health insurance at your Orientation.
Please see chart below for the 2013-2014 rates. Please note that the health insurance cost for the dependents is approximately two (2) to three (3) times the cost for the visiting scholar.
AHP Rates for J1 scholars (2013-2014)
Scholar: approximately $130 per month
Spouse: approximately $1716 per semester
Child: approximately $1053 per semester
Two or more children: approximately $1551 per semester
To best utilize your Health Insurance, we recommend visiting WKU's Health Services located on campus. Health Services proudly staffs two Board Certified Physicians and a Nurse Practitioner within a brand new, modern facility. Their services range from routine physicals and doctor visits to lab work, x-rays, immunizations, urgent care, sports medicine, health counseling, and annual exams. They even house their own pharmacy. WKU's Health Services provides outstanding care to the WKU Campus Community.
Health insurance is MANDATORY for ALL international scholars and their J-2 dependents for the duration of their stay at WKU
MANDATORY Orientation
The International Student Office (ISO) provides MANDATORY orientation for all new international scholars upon their arrival to WKU. During the orientation, scholars will receive crucial information that will help them adjust to WKU and life in the U.S. Topics include checking in to the university system, learning your responsibility to maintain legal status in the States, and how to obtain your health insurance card.
ALL new visiting scholars MUST attend a MANDATORY international scholar check-in and be at orientation at ISO within the first week of their arrival to Bowling Green. Failure to attend the orientation at ISO within 30 days after the start date that is listed on the DS-2019 form will result in complications in your visiting scholars' immigration status.

Blue-Gray Game Set for April 6
March 23, 2013
MEMPHIS - Tiger Nation will have an opportunity to get a final look at the University of Memphis football team prior to the 2013 season rolling around when the squad holds the annual Blue-Gray Game April 6 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The event, along with parking around the stadium, is free and open to the public. Kickoff is slated for 12 p.m.
Pregame festivities begin on Tiger Lane at 10 a.m. There will be live music along with inflatables including the Tiger Slide and a bounce house. Fans can join TOM III and the Mighty Sound of the South band in welcoming the team to the stadium for "Tiger Walk" on Tiger Lane at approximately 11 a.m.
During the day, fans can inquire about joining the football program's booster group, The Highland Hundred, which will have an information table set up. Fans can also renew or purchase season tickets. The Tigers will hold the line on ticket prices for the 2013 season, with no price increase from last year. Season ticket prices begin at $55 and the package is a better value this year as UM will play seven games in the Liberty Bowl.
Following the game, the team will hold a clinic for children in eighth grade and under. The clinic is presented by fred's Super Dollar. There will be an autograph and photo session with the players following the clinic.
In 2013, the Tigers begin play in the soon to be renamed and rebranded Big East Conference. Memphis will open the season at home Sept. 7 when the squad plays host to Duke.
Families can expedite having children take part in the children's clinic, by downloading and completing the following waiver, then bring it to the game.
Practice No. 8 Recap
"The defense came out with intensity, played physical and played good assignment football," Justin Fuente said following the practice. "Last Thursday we had a pretty physical, tough and spirited practice but I'm not sure our execution was quite there. Today I thought the defense put it all together and played tough and played physical and played smart.
"Offensively, it was a very disappointing performance just from an execution level, emotional level and physical level. It was unacceptable.
Defensive end Ricky Hunter had a 20-yard interception return during the scrimmage. The Tigers have closed practices slated for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday during the coming week.

TV Everywhere could be a big moneymaker for advertisers and networks. Viewers now have the option of watching their favorite shows on TV at home, on their laptop or even on their mobile device at no additional cost, which will change the way TV is purchased from a media standpoint.
QR codes represent a unique mix of technology and advertising that is steadily improving with evolving new forms and functions. But their functional improvement is meaningless if the platform is not applied with the right strategy and tactics in the real world in order to connect with consumers.
Nonprofits that have survived through the rough economy may be facing an uphill branding battle even while people begin returning to their former levels of charitable giving. The right messaging and marketing strategies could make all the difference in how smoothly the crest of that hill is reached.
One of the golden rules of social media marketing is adapting to the tone and conversation style of your intended audience. It's important to promote a two-way conversation rather than a one-way message delivery system, interacting with the intended community. But should this apply to official city government entities as well?
Call in multi-channel marketing. Call it an integrated marketing strategy. Whatever name you apply to it, brands and companies are still struggling to give consumers what they want... a consistent and seamless message across all marketing channels.
