Pinellas County Charter Amendments will be voted on by Mitch E. Perry
A Pinellas County Judge today ruled that a vote will go ahead in Pinellas County on 7 proposed charter amendments next month.
Nearly every one of the cities that comprises Pinellas County ââ¬â 21 of the 24 - had gone to court to argue that some of the proposed amendments were inconsistent with state law and were not stated clearly enough.
But Judge Robert Beach ruled today, that with less than 2 weeks before the scheduled vote, it is simply too late to stop the election.
But the Judge did reserve the right and jurisdiction to rule on questions of Sunshine violations, vague language, and constitutionality at a later date.
Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard is the chairman of the Pinellas Cities for Home Rule Committee. He told WMNF this afternoon that he wasnââ¬â¢t surprised by the Judgeââ¬â¢s ruling, and in fact was pleased that he may rule on some of the legal issues at a later date.
He says the battle is between the right that citizens currently have, so that if the Counties want to make a change In certain services, members of an individual city would get to have that vote (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?we donââ¬â¢t want to lose itââ¬?)
Jim Bennett is the Senior Assistant Attorney with Pinellas County. He also represents the Charter Review Commission in Pinellas, which came up with the idea with the proposed Amendments. He says several of these amendment are concerned with process. (roll tape#1 o.q.â� grab remote parcelsâ�)
So even though the Mayors of the 21 municipalities opposing the proposed Charter Amendments are disappointed with todayââ¬â¢s ruling, they still have nearly 2 weeks to educate Pinellas voters about why they believe the Charter Amendments are a bad thing. Again, Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?to give that information to folksââ¬?)

Buyers' negotiating tactics and strategies
August 19, 2011
Buying a home in a slow market
Anecdotal evidence suggests that we're moving into a summer slowdown. It's not unusual for the home-sale market to slow in July and August, when many real estate agents and buyers are on vacation. The market often picks up again after Labor Day, and October can be a good month for home sales.

When a mortgage puts buyer at a disadvantage
For homebuyers who need to finance their purchase using a mortgage, a cash buyer can be their worst enemy.

Beware buying a home from a divorcing couple
Marriage breakups can be tense. And when divorcing couples sell their homes, it's buyer, agent and everyone else beware.
Avoid a money pit
In the 1986 movie, "The Money Pit," Tom Hanks and Shelley Long find themselves in their dream house until it starts falling apart. The bathtub falls from the ceiling, the chimney falls into the house and eventually the frame collapses.

Keeping the upper hand in housing deal
In some ways, it's both the best of times and the most challenging of times for home buyers. Many properties are on the market for amazingly low prices, like the clearance merchandise now overloading the shelves of retail chains. Moreover, mortgage rates are exceptionally low.
January 16, 2009
In tough times, flexibility with buyers is key
In a tough economy, conspicuous consumption is out and deal-hunting is in. Whether they're buying a Toyota Corolla or a Lexus, consumers are demanding rock-bottom prices. This is especially true in real estate.

Even in this climate, there's no rule like an old rule
Whether you're a buyer, seller or borrower, chances are you're confused.

Cumbrian man jailed for attack on ex-partner
Last updated at 12:19, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A man has been jailed for 60 days for attacking his former partner and damaging her laptop computer.
John Richard Hope, 38, of Park End Road, Workington, pleaded guilty to assault and criminal damage.
He appeared at West Cumbria Magistrates' Court where he was sentenced to 60 days in prison for the assault and 14 days for the damage, to run concurrently.
There was a dispute over the circumstances of the assault, which happened on March 1, but district judge Gerald Chalk told Hope that he was sentencing him on the basis of his account of what happened.
He added: "I have to place that in the context of it being the third assault on the same woman in 12 months."
He also made a restraining order for seven years against contacting the victim.
Linda Vance, prosecuting, said Hope had argued with the victim and grabbed her by the wrist and pushed her on to a sofa. He continued to shout at her then let her go, but knocked her laptop computer out of her hands, resulting in £500 worth of damage.
The court heard that since his arrest Hope had voluntarily completed an alcohol awareness course and a detoxification programme.

American Financial Solutions is a non-profit credit counseling, financial education, and debt consolidation agency. And we're here to help you get out of debt for good. We understand what you're going through, and our certified counselors are here to listen to you and empower you to get your finances under control. When you've reduced your monthly fees and interest rates, and freed yourself from creditors' calls, you'll look at life in a whole different way.
Struggling with financial issues other than credit card debt? We may be able to help. See our complete list of consumer credit counseling services on your right.
Debt Counseling
American Financial Solutions is dedicated to providing credit and debt counseling and financial education to consumers to help them make sound financial decisions and find debt solutions to improve their financial futures. One of the debt solutions available to our clients is participation in a debt management plan, which unlike a debt consolidation loan, works with a client's current creditors, creating a plan of action to repay those debts under the best terms possible. Debt Management is not the right solution for everyone and working one on one with a certified credit counselor will help identify the best debt solution for you.
Debt counseling involves meeting, either in person or by phone, with a certified credit counselor who will review your entire financial situation including your income, expenses, secured debts and unsecured debts and developing a plan to help you achieve your financial goals while becoming debt free. American Financial Solutions (AFS) credit counselors are accredited through the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education and participate in ongoing education in order to provide consumers with the most effective methods for managing their debt.
"Thanks! It is amazing how much more money you actually have when you know EXACTLY how you spend it. Getting on your program has really helped us get spending back in control." - Greg
Our credit counselors are compassionate, non- judgmental, highly trained individuals who are able to analyze your financial situation and provide options to help. When you contact AFS to discuss your debt, you will work with the same counselor all the time. We understand that it can be stressful to discuss your finances with a stranger and that is why we use this model so that you will only have to tell your story once. Your counselor will be there to guide you and help you make the tough decisions that are needed to help you get out of debt for good.
One of the most important outcomes of debt counseling is formulating a plan and a budget and sticking to it. This involves learning new habits and setting old ones aside. On our website, you will find a variety of tools to assist you with this. We offer free on line classes, budget tools and financial calculators. Your counselor will recommend that you use these tools as part of your plan. The options available through debt counseling may include, working directly with your creditors and tightening your budget in order to pay down your debt. AFS offers a Debt Management Plan where you can consolidate all of your unsecured debt payments into one convenient monthly payment on a day of your choosing. Creditors generally give the following benefits to those enrolled on a Debt Management Plan:
- lower interest rates
- waived fees
- lower monthly payments
- stop collection calls
If neither of these solutions is appropriate, there are other options available through debt counseling that your counselor will discuss with you. There are so many circumstances that cause people to get into debt and the good news is there are options available to work your way out. Our debt counseling services are confidential and free of charge so please call a counselor today or get started with our on line application. Like our client quoted below, you will be glad you did.

TURKEY: Opera to Celebrate International Women's Day
Multiple media outlets on 17 March reported on the 'Women of the Opera' dedicated to the UNFPA and the Directorate General of State Opera. Opera, ballet, orchestra and theater events took place to celebrate International Women's Day. Meltem Ağduk, the Program Coordinator of the United Nations Population Fund in Turkey, said, "Over the past ten years, we tried to create awareness and prevent violence against women. 'Women's opera' became a supporter of our project. The opera is a presentation of the stories of historical women. Most of them suffered from various reasons."

Original Post:
Okay so yes, hand holding requests are allowed in this thread. If you had asked "Why don't we use Frozen Power in a pve talent build, I don't understand," that would have been fine. (The answer is because pve bosses are immune to the frostbrand weapon effect, so you don't get the damage boost. Windfury is a better pve main hand imbue.)
But your "I'm too lazy to test in game, and I'm too lazy to spend 3 minutes learning how to use one of the sims" attitude is unacceptable.
Has anyone tried using Frozen power on caster mainhand for enhanc DPS?
My account has expired and I still don't know how to sim.

Our Melting Snowman Luxury Bath Melt returns this year with his skin-softening legacy and warming hot toddy scent. Cocoa and Shea butters and almond oil moisturize and soften the skin to perfection. Spicy cinnamon and clove oils combine with sweet orange and lime, creating the ultimate holiday fragrance that just makes us want to sink into a hot bath on a cold, snowy night. Drop this under the tap while it's still running and sink in to watch him dissolve like a real snowman, carrot nose and all.
Melting Snowman ($5.95 for 2.1 oz.) is a bath melt, which are supposed to be used either in halves or wholes and tossed into the tub as you fill it with warm water. They're supposed to add a hydrating element to your soak. He smells of chocolate, cinnamon, and orange. The "chocolate chip" eyes don't fully melt and tend to float and smear on the tub (not so sexy to look at), and I did find myself needing to scrub those bits away post-bath. It's definitely hydrating and makes the skin feel softer afterward.

Guy is back from being ill but it doesn't seem to make things easier for Gaz. It starts off a little rough (but Guy doesn't edit it out because it's funny) and gets crazy from there. Gaz thinks he may still need an AppleTV and Guy builds a RAID 1 for his iTunes content. Are Netbooks getting killed by the iPad or are they victims of their own crappiness? Android tablets are on the way (eventually), but should Apple be concerned? Would you be interested in a smartphone app that helps you through a museum, art gallery, or other attractions? The Eiffel Tower rents out iPads to do just that. Microsoft is finally putting out Windows Phone 7, some three years after the iPhone.

We (well mostly Gaz and Tim) do some comparisons between the new AppleTV and the Mac Mini while Gaz replaces a drive in an Apple Time Capsule.

Steve Jobs did something during Macworld Expo 2008 that Apple customers have rarely seen him do. He admitted that he might have, maybe, made a small mistake in the AppleTV. The result is the free to download software update dubbed AppleTV Take2. The update changes the AppleTV from a simple bridge between your iTunes library and your television and turns the device into a much more powerful tool.

With all the new Apple announcements today, a certain Senator once again will have to be VERY concerned about how full his pipes are. A friend asked me what his name was, but I had to admit that I wasn't sure. My wife keeps up on these things so I quickly told him, "I don't know, Alaska." Ba-da BUMP PSSSSssssshhhh.
OK, all joking aside (yes that was a joke), the Stevenote was very interesting and had me excited because I am in FULL reality distortion field mode while it's going on. Makes the crash afterwards very difficult to manage, though I must admit that it does bring back vague half remembered memories from rock concerts in the 1970s. Let's start with the good, the bad, and the ugly from each category.

Dullam: Helping children grow and learn
About 12 years ago while visiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme, I was struck by the dedication, enthusiasm and support of volunteers there.
Inspired to join them, I decided to become a mentor and have found many ways to be connected with the club and its members. This has enriched my life, while helping young people develop theirs.
My husband, John, and I are enthusiastic and grateful for the opportunity to work with our community's youth and have many rewarding experiences and relationships because of it. What's most satisfying is seeing how mentoring young people has profound, positive impacts on the lives of the youth as well as the mentors.
Among my volunteer activities at the club, one of the more personal — and special — activities was becoming a mentor to Taylor Penny, who became the club's 2012 Youth of the Year. Being a part of "Team Taylor" and watching her grow into a poised young woman touched my life in many ways.
Last year, Taylor graduated from Oxnard High School and now attends Washington State as a pre-law major. She is the first in her family to attend college and overcame many barriers to achieve this.
John and I are still very close to Taylor and continue to be very involved in her life at college.
As mentors, the biggest honor we have is hearing from her regularly about her experiences and adventures while embracing life as a successful college student in a state that is vastly different from where she grew up.
I encourage everyone to explore becoming a mentor.
Research shows that at-risk youth receive the greatest benefit from having an adult mentor. There are several local organizations with mentoring programs, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts and the YMCA.
There are also plenty of community, religious and nonprofit organizations that look for mentors.
In addition to mentoring, volunteering offers ways for people to put their talents to work helping children grow and learn.
At the Boys & Girls Club, for example, there are several youth who need tutoring help after school, other opportunities include teaching cooking classes, athletic skills, reading and art projects. All of us have talents we can share with our communities' youth.
Being there for the children and helping them on a more personal level gives a firsthand look at how much impact a person can make in the life of a child. A visit to the Boys & Girls Club to see how it operates is inspiring and life-changing.
There are so many success stories developing there, one day at a time. Consider this an invitation to visit, become a mentor, contribute or volunteer and be a part of the positive difference in a child's life and of your own.

If finding the perfect debutante dresses for your Cotillion ball was easy for you then finding the perfect accessories to match should also come easy. But sometimes, despite how beautiful and grandiose the dress is people hardly think about the accessories to match their dresses anymore. It is the total package that can make you look your best. I remember this one girl during my ball who was wearing the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. I think it was a Vera Wang dress with a sweetheart neckline that perfectly accentuated her breasts; a ball gown made out of lace with floral patterns and a ribbon waist. The dress was so gorgeous but her accessories were no match for the elegant dress i.e. leather cuffs and floral shoes. She may be trying to make a fashion statement by injecting her personal style but the elegance and classiness of the dress as well as the occasion was lost. You need the right accessories to pair your dress with.
Accessories For Debutante Dresses: Jewelry
An occasion like this, you should never leave your house without jewelry. Jewelries add sparkle and glam to any outfit. Silvers and Gold are the perfect types of jewelry to wear during such occasion. But be careful not to overdo your jewelry especially if your dress is already a statement on its own. If your dress is already clad in rhinestones and sequins, a simple jewelry would be your best option. A simple pearl or diamond stud earring would be best. Stay away from necklaces if the top of your dress contains rhinestones and sequins. A simple white dress is the perfect canvas if you prefer to accessorize as much as you can. You can pile on jewelry ala-Rachel Zoe to turn your outfit from simple to statement.
Accessories For Debutante Dresses: Shoes
Shoes are very important in debuts. Think like Cinderella and wear shoes that are very elegant and classy just like her glass shoes. Many people tend to neglect wearing the right shoes because most of the time it is covered by the dress anyway. But just in case it shows up, you want to show people the perfect shoes for your dress. Choose shoes that are in harmony with the color of your dress. Shoes with rhinestones are an elegant choice of footwear. But aside from style, you should also choose shoes that are comfortable since you will be dancing too.
Accessories For Debutante Dresses: Bags
You need a bag to keep with you things that you will need during the course of the occasion. Your bag should be the perfect size to carry all your essentials but not too big like your daily bag. Clutches and minaudiere bags are the most preferred, as they are just the right size to carry all your essentials. However, carrying a bag is entirely optional. But just in case you do decide to bring a bag with you, choose one that is complementary with your dress.
Accessorizing Your Debutante Dress
Choosing the right accessories to match your dress should be easy. Just take cue from your dress and make everything complementary instead of clashing. Remember, the right jewelry, shoes and bag can make or break your debutante dresses thus, you need to choose them wisely.

Grieving family and friends said a final goodbye to Douglas Hibbitt, of Buttermere Avenue, Burnham, on Friday, two weeks after the 'determined' lad lost his fight against a type of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma.
In an emotional tribute, the kickboxer's instructor Justyn Billingham presented the 13-year-old his original black belt at his funeral at All Saints Church in Dedworth.
"He was one of the most loyal and determined students I have had and he would have got the black belt if the cancer hadn't got there first. Of all the people I have ever experienced he had the best warrior heart and warrior spirit because he just kept fighting and fighting.
"It was his dream to get his black belt so I thought it would be a fitting tribute to give him my original belt which means so much to me," said Mr Billingham, owner of Blaze Martial Arts and Douglas' coach for six years.
The Dedworth Middle School pupil died on Thursday, March 29, with his family by his side, a year after he was diagnosed with the disease.
Speaking at their family home this week, the teenager's parents paid tribute to his brave struggle.
Dad Gareth said: "Douglas never slowed down. He was always in high gear even when he could no longer walk or even lift his hands properly. He enjoyed kickboxing. When the cancer occurred he continued grading and then when he wasn't fit enough he started training and then when he couldn't train he start coaching. That was Douglas, that determination."
Mum Brenda said: "As the disease progressed he was always very courageous. He was always laughing and joking and always had a smile on his face. He was a fighter. He didn't want to centre on this disease, but wanted to live his life to the full to the end."
At Christmas, Douglas was among 40 children who attended a festive tea party at No 11 Downing Street attended by celebrities including former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Moving tributes have been posted on the teenager's Facebook page and left outside his school in Smiths Lane, Windsor.
Stuart Muir, headteacher at Dedworth Middle School, said: "We should remember that Douglas was a fine young man. He was incredibly courageous, witty and hard-working, always smiling and always willing to help others and a real credit to both his family and the school. He will be solely missed."

These detachments rushed with incredible fury towards the point of attack, despite a most obstinate defence, and the great loss which they sustained by missiles of every kind, and continued the assault for nearly an hour, supplied by reinforcements which more than recruited their beast mode lil boosie lyrics numbers. When they were at last compelled to retreat, they seemed to adopt a new and yet more harassing species of attack. A large body assaulted one exposed point of the fortress with such fury as to draw thither as many of the besieged as could possibly be spared from other defended posts, and when there appeared a point less strongly manned than was adequate to defence, that, in its turn, was furiously assailed by a separate body of the enemy. Thus the defenders of the Garde Doloureuse resembled the embarrassed traveller, engaged in repelling a swarm of hornets, which, while he brushes them, from one part, fix in swarms upon another, and drive him to despair by their numbers, and the boldness and multiplicity of their attacks. The postern being of course a principal point of attack, Father Aldrovand, whose anxiety would not permit him to be absent from the walls, and who, indeed, where decency would permit, took an occasional share in the active defence of the place, hasted thither, as beast mode lil boosie lyrics point chiefly in danger.

Help solve mystery of yellow silk flowers
On June 7-8, someone put a yellow silk floral arrangement on the grave of my husband, Frank Segree. It was large and very beautiful. Frank loved yellow flowers.
On Father's Day, the floral arrangement was gone. There was no card, so I assumed they were intended for Frank's resting place. If this was a mistake, I'm so very sorry. If you know where it came from, or where it went and why, would you please call me, at 670-1115?

Antipiracy flub for Microsoft

Piracy-check mandatory for Windows add-onsJuly 25, 2005
Microsoft plans to give some pirates a breakMay 4, 2005
It's Windows vs. Windows as Microsoft battles piracyFebruary 3, 2005
The software giant announced WGA 1.0 on Monday. WGA requires users to verify that they have a legitimate copy of the operating system before they can download add-ons for Windows XP.
But within days of the software's release, a number of Web sites, including the popular Boing Boing blog, were posting details about how to bypass WGA.
For Microsoft, this marks another episode of people finding a way to bypass its WGA software. In the spring, during WGA's pilot phase, a security researcher outlined a method for bypassing the software using another Microsoft tool called GenuineCheck.exe.
Microsoft is investigating the new claims and will take appropriate actions, a company representative said.
"Because of the high value we are providing to genuine users, we are not surprised hackers would try a number of methods to circumvent the safeguards provided by WGA," the representative said. "It is important to note that this issue is not a security vulnerability, nor does it put any customers at risk. Windows users are not in danger."
Johannes Ullrich, the chief research officer at Internet Storm Center, said the JavaScript bypass method does not pose a security threat.
"It prevents the Windows WGA tool from being installed," he said, noting that he conducted tests on the workaround and found it could be easily applied.
For users who purchase computers with Windows preinstalled, Ullrich noted, some may be surprised to find that they have a pirated copy on their computer.
"Sometimes it's hard for users to determine if they have a pirated version. Some buy computers from less-reputable resellers or buy a CD off the street and may have trouble determining if they have a pirated version," Ullrich said.
Microsoft has estimated that roughly a third of the Windows copies installed worldwide are pirated.

- Value is Reallu Just Opportunity to Pay More
- With all due respect to Microsoft Corporation, and I say this as a customer of MS for years with thousands of dollars spent on MS products, the so-called Genuine Advantages appear to be little more than discounted purchase opportunities, and the opportunity to be subject to a modern corporate equivalent of vigilante justice, especially as it relates to the growing DRM in Windows as we know it.
If one goes to the Genuine Advantage site where supposed free stuff is available, one sees a one-time discount on the perpetual-pay rentalware version of Outlook, and, among other not-too-hot deals, and opportunity to purchase some uninteresting online MS games at 50% off, and so forth.
Mr. Gates, these are conventionally known as commercial promotions; they are no more Advantages to we legal users than the "low-cost 3 months discount price" DSL service I am receiving, because, like my DSL "offer" from my ISP, I still have to pay something over time. And what I pay over time far outweighs what I gain.
We legal users also get to download the latest DRM-enabled MS Media Player, which includes a license term that allows MS or its partners to remotely disable PC functionality should they think we are doing something naughty copyright-wise.
How, with all due respect, is forcing us to let the content and/or software sector act as judge, jury and license executioner any advantage in practice, for anyone except the judge, the jury and the executioner?
At the very least let's see a right of appeal to public law courts when a Windows or Media Player user is to be license-snuffed by this vigilante justice system called Genuine Advantage and/or DRM.
And, please, stop claiming theere is a benefit when all we get for being honest is the opportunity to be controlled remotely, and to spend more money.

- Looks like security updates require validation also
- Last night I went to do my routine hourly M$ security update check and was asked to validate after checking either "Custom" or "Express" buttons. Looks like I'll have to download SP2 and other security updates to the HDD as files and then burn them to CD, since Windows frequently needs to be reinstalled in my house. (I have 4 PC's to maintain, and frequently upgrade hardware like Mobo and CPU's) I'm not letting the "Genuine Advantage" make my life any worse than M$ already has!

- Sounds to me like MS is looking for new help
- Isn't that what companies do now. Find the hackers that cost them millions of bux, then turn around to hire them so they can make a more stable product? In any case, I'm sitting on the fence for this one. I do agree with MS trying to protect their OS, but on the flip side, by denying everyone using their OS (which is a security risk from hell), all the peeps that can't update are now going to be carriers of every virus and spyware hit on the internet. So in a since, they will now be helping spread this crap on the net.

- Pay up.
- How does anyone justify using pirated or improperly licensed software. While Microsoft may not be perceived as a victim, the simple truth is that software development is a business and all businesses and their employees deserve to get paid for their work. If you don't like Microsoft vote with your wallet. Their is no justification for stealing.

- So, just let me get this straight: MS software sucks, but EVERYONE wants to have it, and even think of ways of getting it without paying for it.
Hummmm. I thought the idea was to use a Mac or get Linux instead. After all, all you want to do is stealing "bad" software.

- Well here is another little problem
- I got a small network I take care of. Windows XP On the desktops Fedora Linux servers. As the sysadmin (go me) I use Linux to take care of everything including downloads. You know little things like MS AntiSpyware. Well I can no longer download it from MS on my Linux box (well at least from MS anyway) without that stupid WGA. I really have to blame myself here really. The owner wanted to make everything Linux not just the servers and I like an idiot talked him out of it. Lesson learner "The customer is always right"

- One In Three a pirate copy true or false?
- Hmm , just where do they dream up these piracy numbers, is think of a number and multiply by a factor of 10,000? Strangely this number cited is identical to the same figure cited by RIAA, for pirated music cd's available to John C, given annual global sales this would mean that the dread pirates would require to run a factory or network or equivalent size to the big 4 major players! Even taking into account total retail sales of all independent sunday flea markets combined do not even come close to the annual retail sales on even one of the major players, or even one third of the declared annual retail sales @ M$. But then again by bypassing M$ WGA check, is a good indicator how weak buggy and error ridden the software is that they supply! You pays your money, and M$ whats you to pay more for less and less everyday! Linux is looking better everyday since you can compile from source to suit your needs!

- Who gets hurt?
- The hackers certainly are not hurting, they find ways around it and get the benefits of WGA. They will continue to find ways around these "protections" every time a new method is introduced. The people who are hurt are those who do not try to circumvent those methods, the delays in downloading extra code and waiting on servers to revalidate our key for the millionth time.
All that copy protection accomplishes is to make using the product more cumbersome to the general user who is also their primary customer.

- After manually un-installing Norton System Works, Windows Search was hosed as was Java scripting, which prevented me from accessing Windows Update.
A Google search led me to believe the problem was with Windows Scripting. I found the download on the MS site, but it wanted me to "verify" first... which of course, failed.
I finally found the Win Script file on another site and managed to install it, which so far has fixed the problems.

There were many who believed Mine That Bird's Kentucky Derby victory this year at 50-1 odds was a fluke, a product of the sloppy track at Churchill Downs. But the gelding has gone on to run competitively in the Preakness, Belmont and West Virginia Derby to show he wasn't just a one-trick pony.
As many of you know and made me painfully aware immediately after the race, I gave Mine That Bird zero chance to win the Run for the Roses. In my column that morning, he was the first horse I said had no chance. I drew a line through him. I thought he'd have a better chance of winning one of the claiming races that afternoon.
Trainer Chip Woolley himself admitted he was surprised Mine That Bird won the Derby, but he did think he had a better horse than the betting public believed.
"In my mind, there was no question that the horse had anted up every time, but to some people I guess there was," Woolley said. "Then when you see the horse just continue to show up every time you lead him up there and put up his best effort … I mean, we've come up short and we can blame it on whoever we blame it on, but the horse everytime has laid it on the line and given us everything he had to give.
"You've got to respect him for that. I guess it's some vindication that the horse, my program, the whole thing has worked very well together and we've showed up every time we've gone somewhere."
Now that the Mine That Bird camp has decided to skip Saturday's Travers Stakes, giving the gelding more time to recover from last week's minor throat surgery, plans call for him to run in the Goodwood Stakes during Santa Anita's Oak Tree meet on Oct. 10 as a prep for the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 7

PHILADELPHIA - Drexel University's Pamie Zukowski scored at 8:16 of the second overtime session to give the Dragons a 4-3 America East victory against the University of New Hampshire on Sunday afternoon at Franklin Field on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.
UNH is now 5-6 overall and 1-3 in the conference while Drexel is 4-6, 1-1.
Drexel took a 1-0 lead at 21:25 of the first half on a goal by Kristina Backenstose. The Wildcats rallied to tie the game on a Cameron Schmitz (Cos Cob, Conn.) tally at 3:40. The Dragons netted two late goals - by Julie Gahman at 2:11 and Caliann Bogovic at :33 - to take a 3-1 halftime lead.
New Hampshire's strong play early in the second half tied the game, 3-3. Kristen Weldon (Avon, Conn.) scored her team-high seventh goal of the year to pull the 'Cats within 3-2 at 23:02 and Marcie Boyer (Dillsburg, Pa.) knotted the game 2:11 later.
UNH goalkeeper Julie Munson (Dover, N.H.) finished with 12 saves, including two in the overtime sessions. Drexel's Meg Barrow stopped 11 shots, including one in the second extra session.
New Hampshire returns to action Oct. 5 against Northeastern. Game time at Memorial Field is 4 p.m.

Northup was left bound tightly, with a rope around his neck, under the blazing sun for an entire day.
Old English rap "rope, cord, cable," from Proto-Germanic *raipaz (cf. Old Norse reip, West Frisian reap, Middle Dutch, Dutch reep "rope," Old Frisian silrap "shoe-thong," Gothic skauda-raip "shoe-lace," Old High German, German reif "ring, hoop"). Technically, only cordage above one inch in circumference and below 10 (bigger-around than that is a cable). Nautical use varies. Finnish raippa "hoop, rope, twig" is a Germanic loan-word.
To know the ropes (1840, Dana) originally is a seaman's term. Phrase on the ropes "defeated" is attested from 1924, a figurative extension from the fight ring, where ropes figure from 1829. To be at the end of (one's) rope "out of resources and options" is first attested 1680s. Formerly also in many slang and extended uses related to punishment by hanging, e.g. John Roper's window "a noose," rope-ripe "deserving to be hanged," both 16c. To give someone (enough) rope (to hang himself) is from 1650s.
c.1300, "bind with a rope," from rope (n.). Meaning "mark off with rope" is from 1738; to rope (someone or something) in is from 1848. Related: Roped; roping.

The right isn't perfect, but we're better, and more adult than the immature left. We champion moral values because we think they're still important, and actually central to upholding the Judeo-Christian ethic the nation was founded on.
That depends on how the GOP chooses to spell out what that means to them.
This is one of the few exceptions where I really think Reagan's 11th commandment need not apply. Idiocy like what now former-Congressman Chris Lee pulled would slide if he was a Democrat, not only because the media would be biased in their coverage, but also because the left has no actual sense of morality. That's why the personal failings of the lemmings on their side of the cliff are hung on the refrigerator, cherished, and bragged about like the messy pre-school fingerpaintings they are.
Yeah, they look like utter crap, but there's no wrong way to do it anyway. So they're all actually masterpieces!
Liberals, I know you think this is a bunch of partisan bluster, and I'm only saying all of this because I'm a conservative on my high horse that- HEY! Wasn't it recently re-elected Barney Frank's boyfriend who was running a gay brothel out of Barney's pantry?

House Republicans have proposed cutting or eliminating dozens of government programs as part of a plan they say will save up to $74 billion, kicking off what is sure to be a vigorous debate on Capitol Hill over what to keep and what to slash.
The cuts are nevertheless wide-ranging. According to the proposal, Republicans want to cut the following:
-- $169 million from nuclear energy
-- $593 million from the Internal Revenue Service
-- $74 million from the FBI
-- $379 million from NASA
More at Fox News
I think the $379 million cut for NASA is supposed to be the set-aside for bribing Muslims.
Also, $169 million for nuclear energy?!? That's just whats being cut...what is the number they get now? I don't want to pry...but....how are we spending so much on energy we don't really produce?
At the risk of compromising the depth of the cuts the GOP wants to make I'd like to suggest a modest proposal to give it to me instead to fund the federal "Let Jared Retire at 30 Act."
It's a big win win win...the government is still saving some money and nuclear energy and I get millions of dollars doing nothing for the country.
I don't plan on keeping much of my tax free (did I forget to mention that?) $169 million dollars. I'm actually going to stimulate the economy with it by bribing Democrats in Congress to just vote "present" from now on.
Of course, this will need to be worked into the budget every year. But the ROI would be too good to be true.
That's not exageration by the way. Steny Hoyer says the cuts lack substance and elaborated with:
We have to be smart about cutting government spending. Democrats want to reduce spending by cutting waste and excess like government giveaways to oil companies, but Republicans are already pushing extreme measures like privatizing or making deep cuts in Social Security
Wow, now THAT was some substance! The the endings of Disney movies are less predictable than that answer.
I don't know how to be smart about cutting trillion dollar deficits, but if these idiot Dems hand us a scalpel I'm just going to use it to lobotomize them so the GOP can go back to using a chainsaw.
Then I'll get to keep my bribe money.Add a comment

George W. Bush canceled a trip to Switzerland after human rights groups pressed for the former president's arrest on torture charges, the Guardian reports.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, an organization pressing for Bush's arrest, says they "have no doubt he cancelled his trip to avoid our case." Amnesty International says "an investigation would be mandatory under Switzerland's international obligations if President Bush entered the country." The United Israel Appeal, the group that was planning to host Bush in Geneva, says that the calls for an arrest warrant were not a factor in the former president's decision to stay away.

Their big beef is, of course, waterboarding. Does waterboarding suck? Yeah, it does. Thats why I'm not going to do anything to deserve it.
Since "progressives" fancy themselves champions of education I'd be more than happy to accept their money to establish a school on how not to get waterboarded. Its easy. I just need enough money to cover the cost of hosting this blog post with the following pointers:
In fairness to Bush, everything is torture to these wieners. They think spanking is torture unless its part of some sex theme party titled "Prelude to Abortion."
It's a mighty lofty perch the "progressives" likes to squat on. Just recently a bunch of lefties were at a rally for a group called Common Cause and were calling for torture and death to conservative Supreme Court justices over a perceived connection to the Tea Party.
This connection by the way has been addressed and debunked by the Wall Street Journal, here.
For those keeping score, the same people who don't see the moral confusion of supporting abortion on demand, AND abolition of the death penalty...now bring you "justified" death threats to conservative judges incorrectly identified with the tea party, AND the arrest of American presidents who give terrorists modified swirlies until they divulge secrets to evil attacks that could kill thousands.
It's such a bummer that I can't expand my mind to see the shades of gray morally bankrupt "progressives" can. They should lobby Crayola to finally give them what they rightly deserve.

I know and fully understand how and why Glenn Beck has his detractors even on the Republican side of the aisle. I think he brings a lot of good stuff to the table and sees the world in a way that somebody needs to see it...I mean...how many Limbaugh clones do we really need anyway?
Since the weekend the left has been "getting the popcorn" and preparing for what they expect to be a good show as their pundits are trying to stoke the flames of a Glenn Beck/Bill Kristol feud that started over this:
But hysteria is not a sign of health. When Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society. He's marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s.
Read the entire column at The Weekly Standard
Liberals always love things they think will start a civil war in the GOP as a whole. I think they'll be disappointed in this fight.
That said, just who does Bill think it is that does the marginalizing? He's comparing Beck to a man who thought President Eisenhower was a communist! That's a far FAR cry from Beck's claim radical Islam wants to establish a Caliphate, the reasons of which are too obvious to condescend you with explanation. If you need one than you've just created a tear in the space-time continuum that can only come from being able to read after being born yesterday.
Also, maybe I have a reading disorder of some kind, I couldn't find a single argument Kristol made on the merit of Beck's position. He has practically taken a line from the liberal playbook with his "hysteria" hit and run. If anything Beck has had to say on the matter could be easily refuted it would've been nice to see Kristol devote even one sentence to that.
I've wondered, in my own weird head, how an encounter between the two would go...
By the way, Bryan Preston over at Pajamas Media had a good retort to Kristol, here.Add a comment

None of the linux audio DSP software will run on DSP hardware as far as I know. Converting the stuff we write to DSP code is a significant effort, and just not worth it IMHO.

Reps. Paul and Frank Introduce Hemp Legalization Bill
Posted By dpacheco On April 4, 2009 @ 3:48 pm In Politics & Public Policy | No Comments
As you've no doubt noticed, the country is embroiled in what could be termed an economic downturn, at best, a screaming apocalyptic nosedive to the bottom at worst. It makes sound fiscal sense to explore every avenue for revenue available to the federal government, including hemp cultivation and marijuana decrminalization. You can bet we'll be watching this bill's progress with interest.
From the Washington Independent:
Paul, Frank Introduce Hemp Legalization Bill
Yesterday, in fact.
Sponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the bill would allow U.S. farmers to grow industrial, non-psychoactive hemp, which manufacturers use for everything from soap to shoes to car upholstery. Current law allows hemp to be imported, but not cultivated domestically.
Introducing the bill on the House floor yesterday, Paul said that prohibition is a mistake, particularly in a difficult economy.
It is unfortunate that the Federal Government has stood in the way of American farmers, including many who are struggling to make ends meet, competing in the global industrial hemp market. Indeed, the founders of our Nation, some of whom grew hemp, would surely find that Federal restrictions on farmers growing a safe and profitable crop on their own land are inconsistent with the constitutional guarantee of a limited, restrained Federal Government.
Aside from Paul and Frank, nine other House lawmakers have signed on their support, seven Democrats and two Republicans.

Dirt Noobs: Father&Son ride AR -> CO
Hi! Just putting thoughts on paper and I'll use this space to log my budget-minded trip planning. I'm 28 years old, going back to school to finish a BS in ME. 5'10", 200lbs, been on bikes since I was 15 (ok so it was a moped for a while). All my 2wheel time has been on pavement. But...
I started looking at replacing my Harley with a dual-sport for commuting to work and school and having fun on weekends camping and maybe GeoCaching. Had some experience with a buddy's KLR and thought I'd snag one for a grand and have fun going slowly.
While shopping for that I found out about Yamaha's WR250R. Fuel injection (no choking warmups while late for class!), 6 useful speeds, power to run 80+mph, fully-adjustable suspension...me likey. Now I'm shopping for one of those. Gotta sell the Harley first. But...
Researching the WRR lead me to some RideReports of the TAT. Now I'm planning a 10day trip this summer from Little Rock, Arkansas to Trinidad, CO.
Talked the trip over with Pops and now I'm planning a father/son trip. Dad is a 54 year old engineer, 5'11" weighs 190ish and has been on 2 wheels since the 60s. Hondas, Kawi's, Harleys, etc. all on pavement. We're both in good shape physically ("I can plow a field all day long") and I have no doubts in our combined mechanical abilities and we enjoy camping so these country boys can survive. I plan on riding a WR250R and we're shopping for a deal on either a KLR, KLX, XT or DRZ for dad, 225s, 250s and 400s...no 650s for this trip. Dad will most likely sell his bike shortly after returning from CO unless he falls in love with it and then it'll be a commute machine. We both work at hospitals and neither of us has a commute over about 15 minutes.
More to say but this is a good stopping point for today. Welcome any comments or suggestions. Thanks for sharing in my excitement over this trip.

GOT OUR BIKES! My WRR plans are currently on hold but...
Thursday, January 24, 2013 @ 1:45 pm: picked up my truck from having its water pump, radiator, and fan clutch replaced. $550 parts&labor. :) I have no time to wrench on anything between work and school and my limited days off means this had to be done ASAP in order to get both bikes this weekend. All seems fine with the cooling system but the check engine light is on and the idle is very erratic. Shift to neutral when stopped or press the pedal ever so gently and it straightens right out. Vacuum leak is my guess but I've got no time to investigate.
Thursday, January 24 @ 11:48 pm: Leave Little Rock on I-30 West to Hot Springs, AR, about 70 miles from my driveway to my parents' house. Tried on my Alpinestar boots that arrived a week earlier but shipped to the wrong address. Very VERY pleased with my $123.50 purchase. Look like NEW! Very comfy. Dad is less pleased with his Fox boots I'd found on CL in...North Carolina I think. He normally wears 12's and these seem too tight to him. I try them on and decide I'll try stretching them out some and let him try again in a week or so. My 13's are perfectly snug (I don't like slop in my boots) but I do normally wear 14's in sneakers and such. My a-star's are pefectly snug without rubbing or pinching anything so I'm tickled. Spend the night, get in bed about 3 AM.
Friday, January 25 @ 9 am: Leave my parents' house, trailer in tow, to stop by the credit union and get some cash and then hit the road by 10:30. I pick up my buddy Ethan, in Alexander, AR at about 11:45 am to give me some company on the trip. We fuel up in Conway, AR and go to the bank to cash the check the credit union gave me earlier in lieu of cash because they were low (at 9am on a Friday a credit union was low on $?!). Anyway, lost about 90 minutes in Conway and we're rolling again, west on I-40. Poured a bottle of SeaFoam in my tank at WalMart because my truck's been surging a little and the mechanic suspects sticky injectors and I don't argue because it does sit quite a bit between trips. I walk to work most days. My Scan-Gauge-2 is telling me my fuel mileage is WAY down (from 20 to 15) and I'm thinking it must be the Check Engine Light and those darn dirty injectors. Turn north on the Turnpike in Oklahoma and start handing over $1.50 every few miles thanks to my 3 axles. Toll roads SUCK. As we get into Tulsa and slow down in traffic the Scan-Gauge-2 shows my mpg back up to ~20. Hallelujah! Get to the big city of Perry around 7:30 pm and meet reddirtjoe. Great guy. Nickle tour of his bike collection (NICE), test ride of the DR350SEX and we strike a deal. Load her up, tie her down, and we're rolling again @ 9 pm. Enjoy a fancy dinner at Subway in Perry and head home through OKC to avoid the toll roads. MPG still down quite a bit and I feel real dumb for not realizing sooner that the aluminum bike trailer I'm towing has a real nice tall stone-shield on the front which is killing my mileage like towing a parachute. Ethan and I watch 'Bloodworth' and 'Best of the Best' movies on my phone on the drive home (VERY irresponsible driving I know) and I let him out at around 3 and I make it home and into bed at about 4:30 am. The bike is a good buy for the $ and just needs some maintenance but included plenty of spare parts and even some I'll put into use on the 250.
Saturday January 26 @ 7 AM: Head out for Jackson, MS. Alone this time and pretty tired from over 30 straight hours and sleeping less than 3 but ready to get down the highway. Interstates are out of the question for the first leg of this trip because there just ain't one close by. Two-lane blacktops suit me just fine but when you're on a narrow one in the middle of nowhere and an RV and a Semi get together in a head-on fashion it tends to shut things down and you're either turning around or...I always turn around. I back-track about 50 miles and get rolling in the right direction again but it's disrupted my schedule rather severely since I need to be in Jackson before 2 pm. Now I'm hustling as fast as I dare and watch the MPG's take a dive. I let eatalotofpeaches know about the delay and he comes through with some quick arrangements to get the bike moved across town from the shop that closes at 2 pm to his house so I can take a look at it. Sonic's Super-Sonic Breakfast Burrito suffices for breakfast and I turn North on 55. I get to eatalotofpeaches' place at 3 pm and we jump-start the bike with his Miata and I go for a ride. Also bump-started a dirt bike for the first time this day, on the second try no less. Eatalotofpeaches also shows me his DRZ and we talk bikes and life for a while before I repeat the 'load her up, strap her down, hit the road' routine. I'm gone by 4:30 pm. I'd made plans to meet up with an old friend who lives in Olive Branch, MS on the way home to grab a bite and catch-up but he's not feeling up to it so I cut west on HWY 16 and stop somewhere along the way to buy a phone charger to replace the one I shut in the truck door. The cable was clearly too long and I can't possibly be blamed for that, right? Right. While in Dollar General getting a charger, because WalMarts are kinda scarce on Hwy 16 in Middle-of-nowhere Mississippi, I grab a Monster energy drink and a pack of crackers to tide me over till lunch/dinner. I get into the zone apparently and end up making it home with 1 more fuel stop and nothing else to eat. How could I possibly not have been hungry? I dunno but whatever. Woke up starving today tho so I must be alive. The 250 starts and runs fine except for the dead battery (that was wired backwards) and the missing side covers just so happened to come with the 350 as spares so I'm satisfied.
The idea behind these two bikes is that they're so similar that spare parts should be fit either one with very few exceptions and axle wrenches and other specialty tools needn't be duplicated. If I perform maintenance or repair on one, I'll know how to do it on the other so that should make the trip itself and preparation for the trip that much easier. I'm very pleased with owning two ALMOST (need turn-signals, side covers, batteries, etc) street-legal bikes for less than $2,000. The fuel to get them both was over $300 but there are no free lunches. (unless you're on welfare...don't get me started).

Luggage is $$$. Welding is $.
Researching dual-sport luggage options made me realize that you can quickly double your investment in a bike if you put bags on it. Very surprised. It is just not this way in the Harley world. I've seen the moto-mule trailers and the Dual-Sport Trailer Assembly thread here and decided we'll be towing at least one single-wheel trailer on our trip. Might build two and sell one upon our return. Going shopping for parts donors next time I'm home. (4 days or so from now). Has anybody seen a clean way to mount gas cans cheaper than a Rotopax? I'm thinking 2 of the 1.5 gallon Blitz style cans would be about right. For this trip I could split them onto differing trailers but I'd like to have 2-3 gallons or so reserve capacity on the one I keep and I think it makes sense to use 2 small cans instead of a single larger can. Eggs all in one basket and weight-distribution being the main reasons I prefer it this way. Also, I could replace a fuel can with water and vice-versa more easily this way, especially useful when you have 2 trailers. Just as easy to carry 3 gals fuel and 3 gals water (as long as you keep your cans separate and labeled!) My main concern with a home-built trailer is the stiffness of the rear shock(s) due to a trailer probably being lighter than whatever donor you rob parts from. Just have to figure that out when I get there. I do think a tank bag will be useful to keep things closer at hand than the trailer would allow and also a safe spot to charge phones, radios, etc. Anybody have a favorite tank bag for the bikes I mentioned in my first post? (WRR, KLR, XT, DRZ etc)

space and time
Got some parts together for a single-wheel trailer recently. A buddy of mine hunts coons and while out training a pup he stumbled across this \/ in the woods.
1970 Honda Z50A frame. pretty solid frame, no seat, no tank, no engine, no lights, tires are bad, rims are gone, good hubs, frame, handlebars, and triple trees though so I should be able to do the front of this \/ pretty easily, or sell off what I've got...we'll see.
stole the pic /\ from another inmate's build thread but don't remember who. Great inspiriation though!

Trinidad because...
It's about as far as we have time to go before we have to turn around and come home. It has a decent motorcycle shop that's been mentioned in a few TAT Ride Reports and I'm sure by that time we'll need something, a tire, a tube, a new spare lever, etc. Plan is to camp 5 nights at state parks on the way to Trinidad, get a hotel there and spend a day doing laundry and catching up on bike maintenance, sportscenter, sleeping in a real bed, etc. Then spend about 3 days cruising home on backroads. 6 days home by dirt or 2 days by interstate, so I think 3 days by two-lane blacktops should be about right and that makes for a 9 day trip with 1 extra in case of emergency or delay plus 2 for prepping and packing and 2 for unpacking, washing bikes and clothes, which adds up to 14. 14 days on 2 wheels in 5 states over 2400 miles with my old man. I've done less with more.
Maybe you can recommend a clean, reasonably-priced hotel, maybe one with laundry or near a laundromat? Any must-sees or must-eats or must-avoid's in the area? Thanks!

You will be riding the easiest part of the TAT so no issues there. I always stay at a motel that is on the north end of town, but can't remember the name. I think it's a major chain. When you come into town from the TAT you will be on Goddard. Just go straight thru town and right before you hit I25 there will be a light. Coffee shop on the right across the street, and a restaurant on the left. Turn left up the hill, around the corner, and turn right into the parking lot. Reasonable rates, clean large rooms. It's close to every thing too. There is a good Chinese place in town, and some nice bar type food just down the street on Goddard.
Too bad you can't keep going. The good stuff starts in Trinidad! Up to then it's just a warm up. Regardless, you and your father should have a blast! The country coming into Trinidad is pretty.

Good news
Thanks for the info. I've gotten the impression we're doing the easier portion of the TAT from other Ride Reports and considering our limited (currently non-existent, but by then we'll have a couple months' worth) dirt experience, I'm glad. I hope to pick up one or both bikes this weekend. They're about 12 hours from each other and I'm approximately in the middle so it may not all get done on my 36 hours off but I'm gonna try. If all goes well on this trip I'll most likely try to return the following year and probably haul in further before starting the 2wheel trip to try and get further along the trail in roughly the same time span. I've spent the last several(!) hours pouring over parts manuals for the 2 bikes to determine what will and what won't fit both so I can do maintenance and also get spares as efficiently as possible. Each little step is rewarding to complete because it gets me closer to departure! Cheers

When I was working there, we stayed at the Trail-something motel. Traildust, Trailside, something like that. Not too bad, and definitely has character. Trinidad Brewing Company is a short walk across the main drag and down the hill, and their food and beer was pretty good. The only other really good eatery was Pike something, should be easy to look up. Excellent food and a solid beer selection. I was working in a small town west of Trinidad and it's been three years or more so things may have changed, but do a little searching on that and hopefully you can turn up more info.
Btw I'd avoid Tequila's, pretty average Mexican food. I've eaten at the one in Trinidad and the one in Glenwood Springs and was disappointed both times.

Trails End Motel?
That's the one I've found in other ride reports. Do they have laundry? Guess I should google a phone number for them and find out for myself.

plans change
My brother moved from 5 minutes away to 11 hours away and that meant my summer road tripping was done in a Uhaul not on a DR. Took a week off to move his stuff and then took another week off to drive up and move furniture, paint, etc. The remainder of my time off this year will be spent on holidays so my TAT ride will have to occur next year. In the mean time I've found a used Acerbis 4.25 tank so now both bikes have the same tank and needs for extra fuel range should be met. I've also never been entirely at ease with thoughts of having 2 electric-start only bikes on a TAT ride so I researched adding a kick-starter and have been trolling for used parts. My part farming has produced everything I need (save a seal and thrust washer) to add a kicker to one bike and about 1/3 of the parts to add a second. I'll be fine with just one kicker so unless parts fall from the free tree I'll just have a few spares. All for now. Ready to ride!

that's over $500 worth of parts and I'm probably 80% done...where'd my cheap hobby bike go?
she still needs:

battery (probably)
hardware to mount acerbis tank
lots and lots and lots of time in the saddle
My plans are to do the clutch and kicker work at once, the fork boots and brake line stays and sealing washers at once, the grips and handguards at once, the battery and cable at once and then ride. then do the acerbis tank whenever i get around to it.

and for the DR350 from tulsa
The DR350 I picked up from RedDirtJoe is most definitely the back-burner bike but...
I've dropped dough:

picked up a few hours a week at our local cycle gear starting this week so I'll be swipin' that discount card HARD.
Also picked up a set of used Maier handguards on the big E. Include the bolt on plastic shields but are not the ATV version so if they're too narrow they'll be in the fleamarket soon. I'm sure they'll be fine and they were cheaper than just the plastics new so I'm not complainin'.

MALCOLM BROWN shows off the oil painting above his desk with paternal pride. But it's not the artist or the view of Coulter Lake in Colorado that most impresses the professor of botany from the University of Texas at Austin. It is the canvas, the handiwork of bacteria that live in Brown's labs, and a product of his three decades of research into cellulose.
Cellulose is the major component of plant cell walls. It is the most abundant natural polymer on Earth and forms the basis of the multibillion-dollar paper and cotton industries. For decades, biotechnologists have dreamt of synthesising cellulose on a commercial scale without the help of plants. But although the polymer is chemically no more complicated than a chain of glucose molecules, no one knows quite how plants produce it. Open up a plant cell to have a look, and you damage the production mechanism.

Boulder Heights is nestled in the hills only 5.6 miles from the heart of Boulder Colorado, at altitudes ranging from 6000 to 8000 feet. This subdivision was founded in the mid-50's by William Stasick from New Jersey. Continual growth occurred during the 60's, 70's and 80's.Boulder Heights is comprised of approximately 375 beautiful homes on 1 to 10 acres, many with spectacular views of the plains. Once a "short-cut" wagon route to the small mining town of Ward Colorado, Lee Hill Road is now the primary northwest access into this dramatic subdivision. The road was not fully paved until the late 1980's. This community remains a more rural mountain alternative to adjacent Pine Brook Hills. Boulder Heights...majestic mountain living at its finest!
