BLACK BROOK - Work is expected to soon begin on a major artery between the towns of Black Brook and Saranac.
The bridge on Silver Lake Road which spans across the Saranac River, south of the Casey Road intersection, is scheduled to be replaced this month. The new bridge will be constructed of concrete instead of steel used in the current structure.
Clinton County Highway Superintendent Albert H. Rascoe said the need for the replacement is based on the circa 1946 structure receiving a categorization as being "structurally deficient" during an August 2008 Federal Highway Administration inspection.
"It's considered to be below the federal scoring sufficiency, which is the cutoff point for replacing or repairing a bridge structure," Rascoe explained, adding "deteriorated elements" are what led to the determination.
Construction is expected to begin sometime within the next two weeks, dependent on weather conditions, said Rascoe. When the project does begin, the highway superintendent said highly-visible signage will be put in place in advance, marking the detour route. The route will consist of using Guide Board, Swastika, Goodrich Mills and Turnpike roads.
"If you live on the south side of the bridge, it will take a few extra minutes, that's for sure," said Rascoe. "But, if you're traveling through the area, then the detour's not so bad. The residents will be the most affected."
Regardless if you're a nearby resident or just passing through, Rascoe said it will be a good idea to add a little extra time into your travel plans.
"Depending on where you're coming from or what you're doing, the detour may or may not have a big impact on you," he said.
The project will consist of removing the entire existing structure, including its foundation, pouring a new foundation and constructing the new bridge complete with a new deck. Railings on and leading up to the bridge will also be replaced and the portion of road approaching the bridge from both directions will receive new paving.

The collaborative divorce model involves a team approach to resolve disputes. Because the team members are working together to reach a settlement, the adversarial nature and posturing often found in traditional divorce litigation is lessened. The needs and dynamics of every family are different, so not all cases will require the involvement of the entire team. However, all collaborative divorces require each party to have an attorney. A complete collaborative divorce team includes: two collaborative attorneys, two coaches, one neutral financial professional and a child specialist.
The roles of each team member are briefly described below:
All families in divorce have different issues and needs, which the collaborative divorce process is customized to meet. Having collaborative attorneys is mandatory for the process, and these attorneys work with each spouse to determine which other collaborative team members are appropriate in a particular case.

Edible Landscaping
Sierra Club Books, 2010 - Gardening - 409 pages
Since Rosalind Creasy popularized the concept of landscaping with edibles a quarter-century ago, interest in eating healthy, fresh, locally grown foods has swept across the nation. More and more Americans are looking to grow clean, delicious produce at home, saving money and natural resources at the same time. And food plants have been freed from the backyard, gracing the finest landscapes--even the White House grounds!
Creasy's expertise on edibles and how to incorporate them in beautifully designed outdoor environments was first showcased in the original edition ofEdible Landscaping (Sierra Club Books, 1982), hailed by gardeners everywhere as a groundbreaking classic. Now this highly anticipated new edition presents the latest design and how-to information in a glorious full-color format, featuring more than 300 inspiring photographs.
Drawing on the author's decades of research and experience, the book presents everything you need to know to create an inviting home landscape that will yield mouthwatering vegetables, fruits, nuts, and berries. The comprehensive Encyclopedia of Edibles--a book in itself--provides horticultural information, culinary uses, sources, and recommended varieties; and appendices cover the basics of planting and maintenance, and of controlling pests and diseases using organic and environmentally friendly practices.

Review: Edible LandscapingUser Review - Goodreads
Like other books if it's kind, this one suffers occasionally from too many aspirational photos of millionaires' yards. It also contains the most helpful advice on the subject of gardening for aesthetics and harvest. So, I liked it for its practical side. Read full review

Situated one mile west of downtown Lake Geneva on 52 beautiful wooded acres, the camp and retreat center offer an ideal location to learn, relax and create lasting relationships.

Today, the Lake Geneva area is still known as Chicago's Summer Backyard. Guests are encouraged to explore the grounds and walk along the public access lake shore path. The path goes all the way around the lake (23 miles total) but even walking a small portion you'll see historic and modern homes, all beautifully kept.

If you're an outdoors enthusiast and/or an arts lover, Elkins, West Virginia, makes an ideal road trip (though you might find it hard to tear yourself away after just one day). The county seat of Randolph County in West Virginia's Mountain Highlands, Elkins sits along the Tygart Valley River at the edge of the Monongahela National Forest.
Elkins, named in honor of former West Virginia Senator Stephen Benton Elkins, is a well-known winter destination for its proximity to three major ski resorts, but the rest of the year offers plenty to do as well with activities like spelunking, hiking, birding, fishing, hunting, and whitewater rafting, and arts and crafts festivals held throughout the year.
Fun Fact
Elkins was once a thriving passenger train stop; in 1930, 18 passenger trains were arriving and leaving Elkins daily. Sadly, all passenger service was discontinued in 1958.
Outdoor adventures
More than 13 percent of all wild caves in West Virginia are located in Randolph County, four of them right in Elkins. Whitewater rafters will want to head to the Tygart River in neighboring Barbour County, with its Class V rapids and the largest drop in the Monongahela River basin that can be rafted or kayaked. With a protected forest nearby, Elkins is a great location for birdwatchers to view such species as red-tailed hawks, indigo buntings, kingfishers, and rose-breasted grosbeaks. The forests are also just the ticket for hiking and mountain biking. If you want a less active pursuit, however, the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad runs four trains in the area that feature scenic views of the area's mountains and streams.
Davis and Elkins College
100 Campus Dr.
Founded in 1904, Davis and Elkins is home to The Augusta Heritage Center, which offers weeklong workshops in many folk-based activities like bluegrass music, blacksmithing, stained glass window making, and Celtic music.
American Mountain Theater
49 Martin Street
Located in Elkins' historic downtown rail yard, American Mountain Theater is West Virginia's first and only "Branson Style" family-friendly music, comedy, and variety show.
A number of artists and craftspeople make their home in Elkins or neighboring areas. Artists at Work is a co-op known for its unique pieces from local. There are also numerous craftsmen who sell their wares directly from their homes (check out MountainMade.com to find out more), in addition to Mountain Made Artisan Gallery, located in Thomas, Tucker County, a short drive up U.S. 219 North from Elkins.
July 2-July 31
American Mountain Theater
49 Martin Street
Presented Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., American Mountain Theater's two-hour show is chock-full of entertaining fare, from gospel harmonies to comic impersonations and more.
July 6-July 11
Early Country Music Week at Augusta Heritage Center
100 Campus Drive
Randolph, WV
Explore country music from its roots with jam sessions, public concerts, and dances. Also offered the same week is Cajun/Creole Week, with blues and swing taking center stage July 13-18.

Encouraged by Deng Xiaoping, who would later become an economic reformer, the party sent about half a million alleged "right-wing deviants" to re-education camps. The camp inmates, often educated city dwellers, were accused of questioning the policies of the Communist Party. Many did not survive the ordeal.
One of the camps was in the town of Jiabiangou in the Gobi Desert. Yang, the author, tracked down survivors of the camp and published their stories in a small Shanghai literary magazine, whose editors ignored the bans imposed by censors. On this morning, Yang has brought along Chen Zonghai, a spry, 79-year-old former teacher. Of the Jiabiangou labor camp's roughly 3,000 inmates, he was one of only a few to survive.
Chen is bald and wears large glasses. It was his bad luck to have been "too quiet" in the self-criticism meetings that were customary at the time. The party used these meetings to examine the class consciousness of its subjects, and party officials accused Chen of not having denounced anyone. As a result, he was loaded onto a truck on the banks of the Yellow River and taken to Jiabiangou together with other "right-wing deviants."
The insidious thing about this form of detention was that it was not limited by time. "We were expected to work hard, day and night, and to re-educate ourselves," Chen recalls. But the camps developed into death camps, as the already scant food rations became smaller and smaller until there was no food at all. The guards looked on as the prisoners starved to death, one after another.
Chen pulls a blade of grass out of the ground. "This is edible," he says. "I used to dream of sumptuous meals back then. It was the winter of 1959, and more and more of my fellow prisoners were dying." The horrific episode finally ended in 1961, when the authorities released the few remaining survivors.
From Death Camp to Blossoming Oasis The old death camp is near Jiayuguan, an hour's flight from Lanzhou. In this world, the past and the future live side by side near the crumbling Great Wall, built to protect the Chinese from nomadic horsemen. The city is also home to China's nuclear engineers, who work at a laboratory in the desert about 100 kilometers away. Every morning, at 7:40, a train takes engineers and workers to the secret nuclear center. At about 6 p.m., it brings them back to Jiayuguan.
Somewhere along a road that leads from the city to one of China's four space stations is a bumpy dirt road -- the path to the former Jiabiangou hunger camp.
At first glance, there is nothing to remind the visitor of the horrors of the Great Leap Forward. Today, Jiabiangou is a blossoming oasis on which corn, melons and chili peppers are grown. A sign at the entrance warns: "He who does not work properly today can look for a new job tomorrow." Quotations from the speeches of party leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao are written in chalk next to the sign.
Not a single sign or even memorial stone offers a hint of what happened here. Medical students from Lanzhou collected all the corpses in 1960, and the skeletons were distributed to universities to be used as instructional material.
Mr. Chen, who is not related to the former teacher, runs the government farm.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 5/1/12
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The drive to reach a Minnesota Vikings stadium deal has taken a step backward at the state Capitol. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton has sharply rebuked GOP lawmakers for not taking the stadium debate seriously amid word Republicans are working out a deal to authorize a roofless stadium. The altered proposal surfaced Tuesday and drew a rushed press conference from Dayton, Democratic lawmakers and the mayor of Minneapolis. Each acknowledged a stadium without a roof would be cheaper but said it would defeat the intent of building a venue that could be used for more than just football. Legislators have yet to vote on a much-scrutinized stadium plan that depends on a gambling expansion. Republicans who run the Legislature haven't committed to a vote on the 975 million proposal Dayton favors.

R> The emphasis of Dynatomy is on dynamic muscular motions rather than structural anatomy. Students benefit from a discussion of simple and complex human movements combined with an analysis of muscles in motion. The text also introduces the muscle control formula and explains how students can use it to identify the way in which muscles contract during various examples of human movement.
Part I presents an overview of the anatomical foundations of movement and the essential requirements for movement control. Part II examines dynamic movements and basic mechanics, muscular function, fundamental movements, and specialized movements.
The book is packed with features that will deepen students' appreciation of human movement:

So, I've always been interested in Sportsters, they just weren't practical enough for me as a main bike. I would love to have one to play around with.
I have been considering doing some trading for an 86 Evo 883 turned 1200. The owner says its leaking oil from the shift shaft. He says its got new oil lines, a new tank, new clutch, new rear tire, new chain. He says its got a couple paint defects and the carb needs to be cleaned.
Are these bikes pretty reliable, or am I opening a can of worms? I don't want to invest a ton of money into it. Just something to wrench on and ride for fun. I am thinking I could probably get a historical plate for it. ;)
The apes, tassles, and the highway pegs would have to go, but it looks like it could be a fun project to customize.

Trash can recepticle
Roy from Lompoc, CA – Verified Buyer
I received the trash can on time. It came in two boxes. What I assumed was the lid was just a basic cover top. The top with the four openings came about a week later. I was surprised that I received two types of top covers. The plastic material is a bit flimsy. I expected that the sides would be thicker. At any rate it is holding up just fine.
Love it
Jill from Farmington Hills, MI – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
Sturdy with an interchangeable lid, the container is heavy enough to stay in place on a windy day, but light enough to move easily. Only wish it came in a dark brown.
Julie from Eagan, MN – Verified Buyer
We like that the containers come with two lid options and that the liner doesn't show on the outside. They look good and appear to be sturdy.
Very satisified.
Betty from Round Hill, VA – Verified Buyer
Very satisfied. Meets our needs on porch of our commercial property. Well made. Easy to empty.
Its in the can!
Susan from Trenton, NJ – Verified Buyer
I am ordering more of these cans for a shopping center. Doesn't that say it all.
highly recommended purchase
catloverdawn from Watertown, WI – Verified Buyer
We purchsed this product for use at an entrance to a local church, which has extra-high traffic due to it being the location of the local food pantry and weekly free-meal site. This container is fantastic! We did a lot of research to find one that would serve its purpose but not detract from the location being at a church. Both goals were met and exceeded! The size, as well as the color selected, is perfect for the location. We have NO negative comments. Feedback since putting into use has been nothing but excellent. Thanks!!
Awesome trash can
Jassie from Robinsonville, MS – Verified Buyer
This item was awesome. I would recommend it to all hotels.
We love it

Great looking garbage cans for our store

Has anyone used a cover for the Flapjack?...
Has anyone used a cover for the Flapjack? If so would an XS fit?
Pat Gunning
the small fits 20-40L packs and the extra small will fit anything below that. Ospreys website has the flapjack at 25L so I would go with a small. Osprey also offered Hi Vis pack covers which run slightly smaller for 20-30L packs

FAQ: How can we help reach Japanese?
March 3rd, 2015 by John
Share Christ with the Japanese
- Reach Japanese International Students – Like other unreached people groups, Japan has one of the largest groups of international students in the US. There are many in our home state of Illinois and other areas. See this article. There may be Japanese high school exchange students in your area.
- Host an English Homestay through your church. Japanese can come to experience America for 7-10 days and spend time with you. You can partner through a church or Christian school in Japan.
- Start an English Bible study for Japanese in your area. A good place to start is placing a flyer in local Japanese restaurants. Not need to know Japanese. Japanese want to learn English.
Pray for the Japanese
Without the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Japan we will not see movements of God like historically in Korea and China. Prayer information on Japan is at Operation World, Operation Japan, and our website.
Partner with Japanese Churches
- Send a team on a vision trip to Japan. Visit Japanese churches and build relationships with them that may lead to ministry partnerships. These can be 2-10 people. There will be one Converge team and Acts 29 team next month.
- Send a ministry team to Japan. Many Japanese churches could use various English outreaches, children's ministry, music/drama, and other outreaches.
- Invite some leaders to visit you and your church. Recently several Rengo pastors attended our Converge Transformation meeting in the US. Later they visited several churches in the Seattle area.
- Invite a team from Japan to learn and minister in your church. Japanese could have seminars on Ikebana (flower arranging), Japanese language classes, Japanese calligraphy, origami (paper folding), Japan pop culture (manga, anime), and many other things.

Composer Jerome Kitzke Unveils First All-Kitzke Album in 15 Years Today
American composer/storyteller JEROME KITZKE celebrates today's release of his new album The Paha Sapa Give-Back (Innova Records). Known for creating works that are uniquely and bracingly American, where freedom and ritual converge, Kitzke shares his career-long dedication to social justice in a new recording featuring some of his best work composed over the past 15 years. The composer's convictions are remarkably interwoven within the music and text of three intensely theatrical pieces that collectively take listeners on a piercing journey brimming with ceremonial power and beauty.
Kitzke's ongoing concern with the American landscape and how we live in it manifests in full flower on The Paha Sapa Give-Back, which speaks to a quest for friendship, a call for justice, and a protestation of war. It brings stinging, tender and humorous language to life. "I have always believed in the non-static quality of history and in the healing powers of love and friendship," says Kitzke. "The pieces on this record manifest these beliefs in one way or another."
Influenced by the spirit of Plains Indian song, driving jazz, Beat Generation poetry, and contemporary classical music, this disc showcases Kitzke's inimitable musical language of vocalizing instrumentalists, theatrical speaking, extended techniques, and hard driving drumming, all notated in beautiful hand-drawn scores. The album begins with The Green Automobile, a free-wheeling musical account of Allen Ginsberg's 1953 poem of the same name. A story about friendship and love, it describes an imagined cross-country trip taken in a green car from California to New York City. Performed by Kitzke, it's the third of his five pieces for amplified speaking pianist. The Green Automobile is a tour de force comprised of whistling, laughing, and rapid-fire recitation combined with intricate piano playing.
On the title track, Kitzke's band, The Mad Coyote, gives a pounding musical sermon to give the "Paha Sapa" (trans. Black Hills) back to the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho nations, thus honoring the 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaty. Scored for four percussion and piano, this piece combines the hard percussiveness of the piano and the echoes of military snare drums and northern plains drum circles with the hauntingly shouted, whispered, and prayed incantations of "Paha Sapa."

It was later discovered that Littlefeather's real name was Maria Cruz, and she wasn't an Apache. She was, however, winner of the 1970 Miss American Vampire contest.
At least Brando gave the ceremony a few laughs. A few years later, Vanessa Redgrave won best supporting actress for "Julia" and used her acceptance speech to rail against "Zionist hoodlums."
Dozens of police officers had to quell a protest outside the theater. Playwright Paddy Chayefsky, who followed Redgrave onstage, quipped, "A simple 'thank you' would have been sufficient."
Stars can usually say whatever they like, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences simply takes a grin-and-bear-it approach. In 1974, however, when producer Bert Schneider read a greeting from the Viet Cong delegation, Oscar organizers enlisted Frank Sinatra to issue a disclaimer:
"We are not responsible for any political references made on the program, and we are sorry they had to take place this evening."
More often, the academy is simply worried that stars won't stop blabbing, cause the show to run too long and force most of the country to tune out before the best picture is announced. That's when the Kodak Theatre orchestra stands ready to drown out the winners who bask in the spotlight too long. This works, sometimes.
Julia Roberts certainly wasn't going to take a hint when she won best actress. The "Erin Brockovich" star simply ignored the 45-second acceptance speech time limit, and spoke directly to conductor Bill Conti, when his band began to play, to let the broadcast cut to a commercial.
"Sir, you're doing a great job, but you're so quick with your stick," Roberts said from the podium, clutching her statue. "So why don't you sit because I may never be up here again. … I'm so happy … I love it up here."
At the 2004 show, Will Ferrell and Jack Black wrote lyrics to the Oscar orchestra's unofficial drown-out music -- a song they sang in great harmony called "You're boooorringgg!" Winners, however, are willing to take that risk.
As longtime host Johnny Carson once observed, the Academy Awards are "two hours of sparkling entertainment spread over four hours." Oscar organizers have fought for years to curb the length of the show, but it's hard to stop the stars once they've got a microphone and start thanking their manager, publicist and everyone else on their checklist.
Cuba Gooding Jr. undoubtedly set the record for saying "I love you" a total of 14 times, thanking everyone from Tom Cruise to God, when he won best supporting actor for "Jerry Maguire."
Even after the orchestra interrupted him, he continued, "Everyone who was involved in this, I love you! I love you! I love you!"
Today's marathon shows make it impossible to even consider the crisis of 1958, just six years after the Oscars became a TV event, when the show ran 20 minutes short, and host Jerry Lewis had to ad lib his way through the rest of the evening, getting the winners to dance together and sing "There's No Business Like Show Business."
There was even a time back in the late 1920s when the Oscar shows were held in private. "There is something embarrassing about all these wealthy people congratulating each other," Cary Grant said of the ceremony, as if he'd had a crystal ball.

Thank goodness David Jung is retired from the Illinois State Police. Otherwise, the former trooper from Mascoutah would have pulled me over last Sunday for impersonating an Answer Man without a license.
I wasn't the only one who could have gone down for the rap. But I would have had to plead nolo contendre to the journalistic felony of providing bad information.
A Cahokia man had asked me whether the state police had ever had offices in a building that once stood near the current Fairview Heights MetroLink station. My immediate reaction was of course they did -- I remember seeing them as a child when my dad drove down 161 through the area he called French Village.
But like a rookie Joe Friday, I failed to listen to my gut. Instead, knowing how one can mix up childhood memories, I started asking others and digging through old articles that had run when the building closed and when the new state office complex opened in Collinsville in 1987. None mentioned the Illinois smokeys, only the Illinois Department of Transportation. So that's the story I stuck with.
Turns out my sources must have been young whippersnappers like me (relatively speaking). As soon as I arrived at work Monday I found Jung's phone message, assuring me that the police had indeed shared offices there with IDOT, probably until the early '60s.
And he could have lined up a string of witnesses to bury me under a mountain of incriminating evidence. The most damaging came from 62-year-old Curt McGuire, of Belleville, who sent along hard proof.
"In 1962 my Cub Scout troop went on a field trip (there). Attached are the photos I took," wrote McGuire of a half-dozen pictures, including one, according to Jung, of Detective Hubert "Jerry" Fitzgerald showing off a confiscated Thompson submachine gun.
Others had equally colorful memories.
"It was completed before Pearl Harbor," said 83-year-old David Branz, of Fairview Heights. "I remember my father saying that it cost a quarter of a million dollars to build. That was a princely sum back then."
"The reason I know it is my dad worked for IDOT, and I used to go down with him to pick up his paycheck," said Jack McDaniel, who is now in his 70s. "I wanted to go over to the Illinois Police department and see the officers. They were very nice."
Similarly, a 75-year-old caller who did not leave her name, experienced the building from both sides: Her dad was a chief clerk for the police downstairs, and her husband worked upstairs at IDOT. "Believe me, I was in my dad's office down there."
"I can remember riding in a livestock truck with my father en route to the National Stockyards," wrote John Dreas, of Caseyville. "He made a special effort to be sure he did not exceed the speed limit going down the hill before he got (to that station)."
And then there was this final damning clue from John Woesthaus, of Belleville, who often would pedal over with his young buddies to shake hands with the officers as they left:
"They had a pistol range outdoors, south of the building. There is a high clay cliff directly south of the MetroLink station that they shot into as a backstop.
"My father was an excellent pistol shot, and, at times with me in tow, he would go down and shoot with them. After a while, though, they would not let him shoot with them anymore. He always beat them at their own game and made them look bad."
Fortunately, all of these witnesses were nice and understanding (thank you), so it appears I'll be sentenced to probation. Perhaps as restitution I'll even send an extra six-pack to the man who got me into hot water in the first place.
Crash aftermath: One of my astute readers wanted to know if there was a follow-up investigation into the glider crash on Aug. 1, 1943, which killed St. Louis Mayor William Becker and nine others.
Indeed, there was, and the results were damning. According to "Fatal Army Air Forces Aviation Accidents in the United States 1941-1945" by Anthony J. Mireles, a wing strut component was found to be made of metal that was "too thin for the purpose." It had been manufactured by a Robertson Aircraft Co. subcontractor in St. Louis that, ironically, usually made caskets.
The right wing ripped away, tearing away the roof of the glider. All Robertson CG-4 gliders were grounded so the defective part could be replaced.
To answer another question, I used the word "explosion" in the sense of a violent bursting apart when the glider crashed. There was no fuel or fire. Photos are easily found on the Internet.
Today's trivia
What famous perfume is named for a musical term?
Answer to Thursday's trivia: Hopefully, Pat Neshek won't suffer the same fate as former Cardinal Mort Cooper, who lost back-to-back All-Star games in 1942 and '43. Other Redbird losers included Bill Hallahan in 1933 and Bill Walker in 1935. On the other side of the ledger, Steve Carlton won in 1969 and Rick Wise followed suit in 1973. And then there was the great Dizzy Dean who won in '36 but lost the following year.

text: Wilkinson Locking Roller Bridge Review http://store.guitarfetish.com/wibrrobrlost.html First Impression: I recently bought one of these from Guitar Fetish recently for my new Agile AL2000. Out of the box it looks pretty nice and they include the conversion studs and bushings to convert from metric (large) to USA (small) posts. The bridge itself is made for USA (small) posts. Although I am not sure why they don't offer this for metric studs since it appears to be an imported piece. The chrome plating is nicely done and it would also be nice if they offered one in nickel. The bridge has a substantial feel to it and appears to be solid brass. Installation: Right away I noticed that the posts fit very loose in the bushings. I opted to wrap the studs with some teflon tape to take up some of the slack and eliminate any moving or rattling and it worked out pretty well although I would have liked a better fit. It was really pretty sloppy. At the opposite end, the posts fit very snugly into the bridge due to some slag in the bridge opening from the plating process and just generally not being very well finished. I could not get the bridge onto the studs without forcing it down onto the studs so I cleaned up the openings in the bridge with a dremel tool and a small file and got them to fit like they should without being sloppy. Again, the fit could be a bit better here. The bridge itself locks onto the posts with allen headed grub screws similar to a TonePros. The difference is that the hole in the bridge is elongated so you can move the bridge forward or backwards on the posts. Not sure why they need to do this since the saddles are fully adjustable but it's there if you need it. Setup: After installing some new strings (GHS Boomer 10's) I setup the bridge. On my installation I ended up with bridge all the way forward against the post. what I found was that the grub screw on the one side was no long enough to tighten up against the stud at the other end so I had to tighten the other side up a little to bring it closer. After I got it snug I set the intonation. This is done by loosening the allen screws that hold the saddles and physically moving the saddles with your finger or a small screw driver. After getting the saddle set you lock it down with the screw and move on. when they are all locked down you are all set. One thing I liked was that each saddle fits into a groove that keeps it from moving side to side. The radius is cast into the saddle grooves. After that I loosened the grub screws being careful not to change the intonation settings and set the overall height of the bridge. Then I locked down the grub screws and everything was locked into place. It's a little more time consuming that you may be used to with a standard TOM style bridge but once you are done your setup is locked in and it won't change between string changes, etc. Very nice. Playing: Right away I noticed a bigger sound with more sustain that the stock imported Nashville style bridge. The rollers do not rattle and they seem to make string bending a little easier as well. The shape of the rollers should help to prevent premature string breakage and if I ever want to add a Bigsby I am all set! Conclusion: All in all, it's a cool bridge if you want to save a few bucks over the TonePros and you don't mind doing a little finish work. If you want a precision fit go with the TonePros. If you want a cool locking bridge that sounds good and doesn't rattle but might take a little extra to get installed then the Wilkinson is probably for you. If you are going with a Bigsby then this is your guy. One other side benefit that other's have mentioned as well is that the bridge does not have any sharp edges or corners on it and no sharp saddles poking out if it. This makes it feel very smooth against your hand when muting or resting on the bridge which is kind of nice. For $30 it's a winner.

A construction project that was to build a new practice gym for Ohio State's men's and women's basketball teams, expand the locker rooms and weight room and add a rehab and exercise pool is behind schedule and over budget. Athletic director Gene Smith confirmed on Thursday that the project, which started in June and originally was to cost $13.7 million, had risen in price to $17 million and will end up with a $19-million price tag. The cost increase and construction delays, originally reported by The (Ohio State) Lantern, will likely push the job's completion to next fall. The new locker rooms may be available later this month. Both the men's and women's teams open their seasons on Friday night in the Carrier Classic near Charleston, S.C.

Wallace scores 29, Bobcats beat Pistons 88-76
The Bobcats were without guard Flip Murray, who has a sprained right ankle, then lost struggling center Tyson Chandler to a sprained left foot in the third quarter.
Ex-Piston Mohammed filled in well in the middle with 12 points and nine rebounds.
NOTES: Brown was talking to reporters after shootaround when Hamilton walked by. "Greatest coach of all-time right there," Hamilton said. ... Brown on all the Pistons' injuries: "I look at it as a good thing. They're developing the young guys and when they come back they're going to be off and running." ... Pistons F Charlie Villanueva has ditched the mask to protect his broken nose. But what if he gets hit there again? "That's something I'm willing to accept," he replied.

Lynn Sweet's Chicago Sun-Times blog includes some details on Tony Snow's upcoming campaign appearance for Speaker Hastert, President Bush's $1 million haul in Chicago today for Republican candidates in the two highly competitive House seats in Illinois, the President's kind Rose Garden words for Hastert, and a small cable tv ad buy from Hastert's opponent going after the Speaker on Foley.LINK
"In the Laesch spot, a narrator says, 'the office of the speaker of the House was alerted months ago that a sexual predator was contacting underage male pages. And how did Speaker Hastert respond? He kept Rep. Mark Foley on as co-chair of the House Caucus on missing and exploited children.'"
"Then, a Reynolds' sound bite: 'I reported what I had been told to the speaker of the House." Narrator: "Yet, Dennis Hastert did nothing.'"
Foley: ethics committee:
With Hastert denying personal knowledge of Foley's activities, investigators for the House ethics committee are shining bright lights on three senior members of Hastert's staff to better construct a timeline, the Washington Post says in a must-read. LINK
The House ethics committee beings questioning those individuals closest to pages while in the Congressional program, reports the AP. LINK

Foley: FL-16:
House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) may think that FL-16 is a lost cause; but, apparently, that's not how the NRCC sees things. LINK
Brian Skoloff of the Associated Press reports that the NRCC has spent over $244,300 for television ads attacking Tim Maloney, the Democrat hoping to succeed Foley.
Foley: Pryce tells the New York Times that her poll numbers "fell precipitously":
Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-OH) tells the New York Times' Nagourney that her poll numbers "fell precipitously" following Mark Foley's resignation and her Democratic opponent's (Mary Jo Kilroy) use of the Foley scandal in advertising and on the campaign trail. LINK
"The Foley case is becoming an issue in an increasing number of races, aides in both parties said. But nowhere else has it become quite as pitched as here, where Ms. Kilroy -- who had already been trying to link Ms. Pryce to corruption scandals in Ohio involving Republicans -- has moved in with withering attacks since Mr. Foley resigned."
Note that Rep. Pryce has accused Kilroy of "gay-baiting."
Foley: political fallout:
Kathy Kiely of USA Today reports the Foley scandal has left the GOP with an "identity crisis," "the investigation is exposing a politically awkward fact of life: some GOP leaders practice a more tolerant brand of politics in their office hiring than some in the party have preached on the campaign trail." LINK
The Houston Chronicle reports that experts from both parties say Texas races will be affected by disgraced former Rep. Foley; a GOP consultant believes it will suppress voter turnout and a Democratic consultant saying it will have a "walloping effect." LINK
The New York Post's Earle Notes Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) taking on Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) as part of his defense of the GOP leadership in the Foley scandal. LINK

Technical Problem please help!
I'm having some problems in illustrator, in the logo posted below there are white rings that appear around the splatter in the .ai file and the .pdf version. I went about creating this by placing the splatters on top of the letters then using the divide command, deleting that which wasn't on top of the letters and then going to merge in the pathfinder dialog box. If there was a better way to do this please let me know I have every step saved out so back tracking is no problem.
The file posted is the .jpg version and the white rings aren't appearing but if you can offer any advice thank you.

One under-rated and under-priced option would be the Canon Sure Shot Supreme. It's got a very sharp 38mm f/2.8 lens and super-fast autofocus. The image quality is easily on a par with the Mju II, Canon MC, XA et al, but you can still pick them up for next to nothing.
It may be a few more years before it's classed "cool", but bit of a "sleeper" in my opinion.
