What I don't understand is why do the voters of new orleans keep electing officials who impose these money laundering cameras on its residents? I suspect the vast majority of us know the gig here, so why put up with it? I mean these officials might as well say "elect me because I am going to impose unfair fines on you so that I can acquire wealth at your expense." C'mon man!!! If we don't like them then let's vote these jokers out of office.
As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Stern can take his dog and pony show elsewhere. Unlike the NFL which is set up to give everyone a chance, the NBA - from salary cap structure to officiating to even the draft lottery - is fixed to ensure the big market teams succeed at the expense of the small markets. Its all about the benjamins. Can you imagine the tv ratings for a hornets / pacers finals? Too many of those and the association's revenue pie gets even smaller, which only complicates things where over half the teams operate in the red.
The NBA is the equivalent of wrestling, take it with a grain of salt if you choose to watch. It's all fixed, and the players know it. So those with enough star power get to pull the strings and get their "championship". Others get paid to play the role of the Washington Generals in a Globetrotter game.
who cares? the nba is a joke.
If the Bower trades Paul, then I hope Bower, Shinn and/or Chouest and the rest of the Hornets organization heads out of town with him. I can't think of a better way for an organization to tell its fans it has no intention of assembling a winning team than to trade its best player. If that's the case then the Hornets should get out of town while the gettings good - and don't let the door hit em in the ass on the way out.
I thought officiaing like that only happened in the nba and wwf. Fifa should be ashamed running out a clearly biased group like that. The head ref was Malian, and assistant refs were Angolan and a Moroccan - all muslim anti-U.S. countries. Fifa needs to do a better job of accounting for world politics to ensure objective officiating. That was disgusting.
Anyway, well played by USA, even though the record book will say otherwise, it was a win as far as I'm concerned.
Helena is an extremely attractive woman, very nice. Clearly, as evidenced by the lawsuit filed against him, Mr. Perry has no idea how to talk to a woman of that caliber.
Ms. Moreno, you had my vote at "hello."
I'm convinced the best course of action for next week is to rest the starters, call a vanilla game plan, and hope for a Vikings loss. The Saints have far more to concern themselves with than securing the 1 seed. Tampa ran for 175 yards and had over 400 yards of offense. When it counted the 2-12 Bucs were the more physical team and dictated the play. So the way the Saints are playing, it doesn't matter if you play a game in the dome or in Alaska, the result will be the same unless you can improve your play.
That said, I think the best thing is for Payton and Williams to hit the drawing board. They should work 24/7 reviewing tape, making new playbooks, and determining how to best allocate the talent they have. The book's out on the Saints, so the Saints need to change their book. It will be a time consuming task no doubt, so I'd put some assistants in charge of assembling a scout team and preparing them for Carolina. Heck, I wouldn't even make the trip if I were Payton and Williams. I'd keep Brees, Colton, Meachem, Bush, Thomas, Bell, Ellis, Vilma, Porter, Greer and Sharper in town too to work on the playbook. Maybe get some input from some key players as to what they're seeing out there and ways to beat it. Putting the starters out against a physical Carolina team will only get people hurt and further erode any remaining confidence this team may have.
The playoffs are a new season and, right now, that's how the Saints need to approach it. I want to see a three week training camp starting tomorrow. The Saints can forget about momentum, that's already gone. Winning one game won't establish momentum. It's better to get healthy, regroup, and then take the show to the playoffs wherever those games may be.
I blame this all on Nagin and Riley.
No. 2????
what a crock of s@*t!!! Green Bay has all of 40,000 people living there. Plus, it's pretty easy to support a franchise that has won several super bowls. If the Packers had rivaled the Saints' inability to play football over the years Green Bay wouldn't even have a team.
the Who Dats are No. 1!
I hope that this is finally the year a category 5 plows through Grand Isle and once and for all blows that albatross off of the face of the planet.
Sure, the fishing is ok, but there's good fishing all over south La. Actually, the fishing in GI would be much better without having to deal with the greedy business owners charging exorbitant rates for food and lodging and the corrupt police department harrassing tourists.
Hopefully nature will take its course this year. But if not, that's ok, as I think we all know it's only a matter of time...
Bower is an idiot. Did he really think that Bass, Pargo or Andersen would sign up with the Hornets?? He let each of these players go at some point because either he or Scott didn't believe in them. Why would they do him any favors and sign with the Hornets?
Further, Scott is a lame duck coach,he'll be lucky to make it to the All-Star break. That'snot a situation any player wants to be a part of, so of course they'd rather sign with other teams - even if its for less money.
If bower had any balls he'd package West and Peja in a deal for Boozer. This would free up cap room and exchange an overrated palyer (West) for a quality player (Boozer). Won't happen though, because as previously alluded to, Bower is an idiot.
Bottom line is Bower and Scott's mistakes over the past few years have caught up with them. 2009-10 looks to be a transition year, hopefully Shinn brings in a good gm so we don't waste our lottery pick.

I' m out of town, and the game wasn't on up here either. THANK HEAVENS! The NBA Network did the entire nation a favor. In this economy the last thing this country needs is be exposed to the type of garbage displayed on the court in the NO arena this evening. How depressing.
Hopefully Stern will do us all a favor and cancel game 5. If we lost by 60 something at home, I'd venture to say that we'll drop game 5 by 80 in Denver. I'm not sure a franchise can recover from that kind of loss in the playoffs on national tv. The Hornets may wind up being contracted by the league. It's better for all involved that we just call the series, let cp go home and rest and fire everybody else.
Shinn needs to fire Byron Scott before game 4 on Saturday. His boneheaded decisions rival those of Sean Payton, which is nothing short of astounding.
For instance, in the second quarter Billups comes back in with 8 minutes left while the game is pretty much tied up. Scott in his infinite wisdom leaves Paul on the pine. Well over the next 4 minutes we get outscores 17-4, the crowd gets back into the game, and then he asks C to go in. Is that putting CP in a position to win the game???
And what's this about showing the pounding they took in game 1 to the team 45 mins before game 2?? What happened to letting games go and focusing on game 2??? Scott must be out of his head.
The team is at a crossroads right now with Chandler, Peja, and Petecoming off the books over the next two years. Let's bring in a new GM and new coach to get some NBA quality palyers and coaches around Paul so he his career isn't wasted by incompetence, like is happening to Brees.
Yes, Wright played 8:11 in the first half; I guess Mo Pete played 7:50 in the first. Neither of those guys went back in and we got smoked in the second half.
I' m not saying Julian Wright is the savior, I'm really not, but he's a heck of a lot better then Bowen or Marks. Just like Deuce is better at picking up a yard on third and one than pierre thomas. Just like Delhomme is better than Brooks, and just like my dog is a better o coordinator than carl smith. There can be no dispute on this.
Let's see, Julian Wright and Mo Pete see extensive minutes in the first half and the hornets get up by twelve. Julian makes what admitedly is a poor foul, and he and mo pete hit the bench with two minutes left in the first. Bowen and Marks come in and the lead is cut to five.
Second he T-wolves get half -heavy dose of Bowen and Marks. No Wright and no Peterson. Is anyone surprised we lost?? Sorry, but this one falls on Scott. He's stuborn just like Payton, Haslett, and Mora. I'm happy we lost.
I don't know what it is with NO coaches, but they need to check their egos at the door. You just can't win if you refuse to play your best guys.
Facts - We have exactly one shooter whose age happens to really showing (peja), exactly one player who can drive the basket (paul), and exactly one player who plays defense (Posey). Much like the Saints of 2006, the Hornets won last year with smoke and mirrors - a gimmick offense. Teams have shut down the high pick and roll, and now that's gone their true colors are shining through.
Bottom line - this team does not have the talent that fans think they do. The Kings, a 4-8 team down three starters smoked the Hornets!! Anyone who thinks this team is anything more than a .500 team should also go ahead and buy their airfare to see the Saints in the Super Bowl and pass along to the rest of us whatever it is they are smoking.
The best thing Scott can do is drastically cut Paul's minutes and rest him up this year, he didn't get an offseason with the olympics. Also, try out some new offensive sets and work in Wright, Armstrong, Butler, and Brown to see who develops. In sum, it ain't gonna happen with this squad, so lets go ahead and play for next year.
There is no doubt in my mind that if this defense is going to improve for next year to an NFL caliber unit, Gary Gibbs has to go. A Carl Smith crafted offense with Aaron Brooks at the helm could consistently hang 40 on a Gibbs' defense. But there is someone else flying under the radar here who is murdering our defense...
That guy is a joke. Ole Miss was going to bowl games before he got there, tanked while he was there, and then rebounded the first year after he left. Is anyone really surprised to see our d-line tank as soon as he took over? Personally, I'd have him cuffed and removed from Saints facility immediately. It's stunning how effortlessly he dismantled our once vaunted defensive line. Aksing Ogeron to coach our d-line is akin to asking Nagin to solve our nation's economic crises, capture bin laden, and negotiate a lasting peace treaty in the middle east .
Bottom line is that the entire defensive coaching staff needs an overhaul. Every coach must be replaced or Payton will be riding that horse right out of town in a year or two.
I tell you what, they better hand out a disclaimer with every one of those flags that describes in detail the hazards to one's health associated with being a Saints fan. I think that everyone has the right to make an informed decision prior to settling on an NFL team to support, which in the Saints' case means that a fan should be well aware of the ill-effects of grandiose losses, perpetual let downs, and an inenvitable sense of hopelessness setting in by mid-October on a yearly basis.
To avoid any exposure to liability, the Saints would be wise to have every potential Saints fan sign off on the fact that he/she has full knowledge and understanding of the phrase "maybe next year" prior to allowing such fan to officially join the rank and file.
Why don't they put Jason David on the IR while they're at it? That'll avoid the salary cap issue and free up a roster spot for another cb. And of course given his ineptitude, it's not like the Saints would really have to sell the fact that he's injured to anyone.

Recent Tasting Notes
My usual tea! I'd like to get into the loose tea more but there's just something so comforting about a pot of this tea. It's delicious piping hot. No bitter after-taste, but lots of flavour. I take mine with just milk.
This is the tea my parents in-law drink all the time. They do a long steep but it never comes off bitter. A good all around drinking tea. I like it better than Red Rose.
I keep it in my cupboard in case they come over but I've got tonnes of tea I like better.
My first-ever tea, steeped strong, with evaporated milk added. My parents still keep King Cole in their kitchen. Malty. Hoo boy, is it ever malty. Sta-RONG. Can get bitter, but forgives a longish steep. I drink it plain these days, when I have it, which is not often. Sentimental favourite, though. Not fancy but certainly dependable. More robust than Red Rose, and miles better than Tetley.

MADISON — On November 23, 2011, federal and state criminal charges were filed against David P. Foley, a former Shorewood resident currently serving a prison sentence on an unrelated charge. The federal and state charges culminate a 15-month investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI).
Foley has been charged with six federal counts, including: three counts of Production of Child Pornography; one count of Transportation of a Minor Across State Lines to Engage in a Sex Act; one count of Distribution of Child Pornography and one count of Possession of Child Pornography. An initial appearance at the Federal Courthouse in Milwaukee has not yet been scheduled.
In addition, Foley has been charged by the State with five counts of felony bail jumping. An initial appearance at Milwaukee County's Criminal Justice Facility is scheduled for January 4, 2012, at 8:30 a.m. Foley is currently incarcerated at Fox Lake Correctional Institution, serving a sentence for an unrelated identity theft conviction in Milwaukee County earlier this year.
According to the court records, in August 2010, a Milwaukee television news reporter contacted the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit at the DCI office in Milwaukee. The reporter indicated to investigators that he had been sent anonymously materials containing a DVD with images and videos of child pornography, purportedly belonging to a Whitefish Bay businessman.
During search warrants at the Whitefish Bay barber shop where Foley used to work and at his former Shorewood residence, investigators seized numerous computers, other electronic storage devices including flash drives, digital cameras, cell phones, CDs, DVDs, and numerous financial records.
Investigative assistance was provided by the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
While Foley has been charged, he is presumed innocent, and any charges against him will need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Copies of the State's complaint, and the federal indictment and search warrants related to the federal investigation are available at the following links:

Blow a breath of fresh air into your living space with these quick fixes.
Flower power
Nothing says summer quite like fresh flowers. For an instant pick up after a long day, set a large glass vase on a tabletop near your front door and keep it stocked with fresh blooms throughout the summer months – you'll come home each day to a welcoming splash of gorgeous colour and fragrance.
Try out a colour trend
Update your space with a hot new colour trend of the season — citrusy yellow, kelly green or coral pink are timeless and incorporating these lively colours into your décor is easy. Just pick up a few inexpensive pieces like throw pillows, bud vases, mini framed prints, or even a few kitchen tea towels in your favourite sunny hue du jour for a quick hit of not-so serious style. Come September, you'll be ready to move on to the latest shades for fall.
Cool it down
Decorating with watery blues and greens will bring a refreshing touch to your space. Paired with sandy tans and bright whites, this combination will rejuvenate your space and make your home feel like a breezy, seaside retreat.
Cover up
Slipcovers are the designers' secret to lightening up dark upholstery during the summer months. Sofas, dining chairs or armchairs will take on a crisp yet casual look covered in white or tan twill slipcovers. Feeling bold? Cover up your favourite armchair with a custom-made slipcover in a colourful summery print.
Conquer the clutter
If spring didn't get you in the mood for living with less, then the summer heat certainly should. Donate items like used books, unwanted knickknacks and dated furniture to your local Goodwill or Salvation Army for a guilt-free purge. If you're still feeling a little cramped, re-think your furniture placement to create a better sense of flow.
Go natural
Botanical patterns, organic forms and animal graphics add a whimsical touch of nature to your space. Look for items with nature-inspired themes to incorporate a hint of the great outdoors into your home.
Breezy blinds
Replace dark or heavy drapery with layers of gauzy sheer fabric for a light and whispery window treatment. If extra privacy is needed, add rustic matchstick blinds for a casual cottage look.

text: Construction completed on world's tallest tower, the Tokyo Sky Tree Culture 02 March 12 by Mark Brown Flickr.com/COG LOG LAB The Tokyo Sky Tree, the world's tallest self-supported tower, has been completed. The structure is 634 metres high, and now dominates the Sumida ward skyline in northeastern Tokyo.It beats out the 600m tall Canton Tower in China, and Canada's 553m tall CN Tower. It's also the planet's second tallest building, just behind Dubai's Burj Khalifa which has an enormous 829.84-metre reach.The 40 billion yen (£307 million) Tokyo Sky Tree took nearly four years to construct. Completion was delayed by two months following a shortage of supplies caused by last year's earthquake and tsunami.The tower is, it's worth mentioning, designed to withstand quakes. It has a central shaft made of reinforced concrete, which is attached to the outer tower structure 125m above ground. Above that, until 375m, the tower frame is connected to the pillar with shock-absorbing oil dampers.The tower soars above a commercial district of restaurants, shops and offices. It also has two viewing platforms which will be open to the public on 22 May.But most importantly, it's a communication tower to relay television and radio broadcast signals. Tokyo's current relay facility, the 333m tall Tokyo Tower, struggles to give complete broadcasting coverage thanks to surrounding buildings. Tokyo Tower was built in 1958.The main contractor of Tokyo Sky Tree is Obayashi Corp. Maybe it can now focus on its cosmically ambitious project to build a 96,000 kilometre-tall space elevator by 2050 -- only 151,420 times higher than the Sky Tree! Edited by Duncan Geere Comments I'm getting a little confused by the definitions here. Surely a tall building always counts as a tower even if a tower is not necessarily a building (if it is not a habitation)? It seems very odd that the world's tallest building should be substantially taller than the world's tallest tower! John Hind Mar 4th 2012 Louis Vuitton Replica Handags usually was manufactured from China ,it is not authourized by louis vuitton .But they will come with the high quality that almost the same materials and handwork,So it is hard to distingush the Repilicas. vvfdafgrgas Apr 19th 2012 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. ---
Brittanie Sakajian and Amanda Smith scored second-half goals to lift the Cal State Northridge women's soccer team (3-5) to a 2-1 victory at Fresno State Sunday afternoon in a non-conference match. Trailing 1-0 after nine minutes of action, the Matadors scored in the 51st and 70th minute to down the Bulldogs and have now won three of their last four matches.
On the road for the sixth time already this season, CSUN captured its first road victory of the season behind a spirited second half. Northridge posted eight shots and all four of its corner kicks over the final 45 minutes of action.
Minutes after the teams opened the second half, the Matadors were able to tie the contest. Breanna McCallum sent a long ball over the Fresno State defense that set-up a 1-on-1 situation between Sakajian and a Bulldog defender. The Fresno State player lost her footing and Sakajian converted the breakaway for her second goal of the year.
The goal was Sakajian's seventh of her career and she now has 21 career points.
Northridge got the game winning goal just under 20 minutes later. Catching the Bulldogs on the counterattack, Lyndsey Preston corralled the ball deep in the offensive area and drew the Bulldogs' goalkeeper off her line. Preston then sent the ball to Smith, who chipped the goalkeeper from approximately 20 yards.
The goal was Smith's first of the season and second of her career. The assist was Preston's first of the season and second of her career.
For CSUN head coach Keith West, the win came as a result of the Matadors' determination.
"Today's win was a result of all we've been through so far this season. Maybe some other teams would have folded, but we never stopped fighting and battling" West said. "We came out hard in the second half and played with much better quality."
In net, Cynthia Tafoya made five saves to earn her third win of the season. Fresno State's Morgan Castain scored an unassisted goal in the ninth minute to open the contest. Tafoya now sports a 1.77 goals-against average and a .727 save percentage.
CSUN out-shot Fresno State 13-8 and the teams combined for just 12 fouls over the 90 minutes. With the win, the Matadors improved to 5-1-1 against the Mountain West Conference since the 2008 campaign.
Northridge opens a three-match homestand next week with contests against Tulsa (9/20) and San Diego (9/22). Both matches are part of CSUN Soccer doubleheaders that will feature the Matador men's program in action as well.
On Friday, Sept. 20, the women's team will face Tulsa at approximately 7:30 p.m. after a men's match against UNLV at 5 p.m. On Sunday, Sept. 21, the women's team will face San Diego at 1 p.m., followed by a men's match with UCLA at 7 p.m.

We've kind of heard forever that rock gods David Bowie and Mick Jagger were a little more than friends and duet partners back in the day. I mean, "Dancing in the Street" was an abomination to music, but those two had chemistry in that video. So, we weren't exactly shocked to read the excerpt of Christopher Anderson's Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger in the New York Daily News yesterday that spills details about their mutual admiration. The two became friends at the height of the androgenous glam rock era (circa 1973), when Bowie performed as Ziggy Stardust. The book quotes several of their friends, as well as Bowie's then-wife Angie Bowie, as having witnessed their closeness. Angie says she walked in on them hanging out naked in bed together. Bowie backup singer Ava Cherry reportedly told a friend that she'd even been in bed with Mick and David while they had sex with each other. Still, we were kind of more surprised to read about Mick's crush on Angelina Jolie than any of this.
What is interesting is to speculate how we'd react if any of today's big artists displayed similar proclivities. We're all cool with Lady Gaga saying she's bisexual, but what if we heard that she was getting it on regularly with a married or engaged peer — say, Pink or Britney? Gasp! And think about how much whispering there was last week when rumors were flying that Katie Holmes walked in on Tom Cruise and David Beckham. If this were the '70s, maybe we'd be saying, "Duh. Why wouldn't two such hot beings want to enjoy each other's company?" This is a weird thing to be nostalgic about, we know. But still fun! And now, torture yourselves with this video:

I'm considering ordering one for myself but my wife actually has a far greater need for a "spine saver", unfortunately. So perhaps I should order two.
I know Carmichael produce proper office chairs based on the same concept but they're out of our price range, especially since I'm ordering from overseas. It would be cheaper to buy just the seat top and then add on a throne base and possibly a backrest.
What do you think?
My employer just bought me a Carmichael CT-580 Mesh back Executive Chair..................had it for about a week now and it feels pretty good.....................a little firm, but my back does feel better.
It will probably be a few months before I can give an honest, thorough evaluation.
This is the model:

A Journal for Book Lovers
I'm a list-loving, book-reading, day-dreaming kind of a woman. The Well-Read Women: a Reader's Journal is pretty much the perfect gift, in my eyes.

This book has many sections just like that. The majority of the journal has full pages dedicated to single books: where you put in the book title, your rating, your … [Read more...]

Plumb Artist-Designed Notebooks

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, one of America's great live bands, made a return to the Royal Albert Hall stage to perform in their first UK headline shows in 13 years.
The Hall was a fitting venue for the band, as their last UK performance came here on 29 November 2002 as part of the George Harrison tribute, Concert for George.
The two sold-out shows saw the band perform hits from their 35 year career, including much-loved anthems American Girl and Free Fallin', have received unanimous praise from reviewers welcoming the band's return to the UK stage.
See reviews from the Evening Standard, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
Special guest Steve Winwood joined the band on the second and final show for a memorable collaboration, echoing the English rocker's appearance alongside Roger Daltrey at his Teenage Cancer Trust concert in March.
Support at these concerts came from North Carolinian singer-songwriter Jonathan Wilson.

Wondering which size sock blockers these are. No choice of sizing is a big problem. How can one block their socks with a too small or too large pair of these? And, I would have to buy two for a pair of socks.

This is for only one sock blocker/shaper. Who knits just one sock? Or washes just one sock? Be prepared to buy two at this price whereas other companies sell you a pair for double you don't end up saving any money with yarnology.

Was your mom a good cook?
She also freezes everything! She'll cook a steak, freeze it, then eat it a month later. Weird to me!
growing up no, now yes
my mother was a wonderful cook, what was so horrible about that was she said i was a horrible child and i was not allowed in the kitchen to see her cook, i might do something stupid. therefore i cant cook well at all.
Mine was a wonderful cook still is, it wasn't always healthy though she's a southern cook, lot's of butter grease etc.
Quoting momo3fgr8tteens:
Yes she was. I learned how to cook a lot of things from her. i actually probably bake more than she did but she always cooked meals for us and they were mostly healthy. My kids love her spaghetti and when I make spaghetti they tell me its almost as good as her's. Since I do it exaclty like she did, haven't figured out why her's is better.

Alice Temperley's appearance and taste in fashion is eccentric and galvanizing in the way that fashion should be. It will forever remain a mystery to me how the thirty-six year old British designer — who has styled fashion icons from Royalty (Kate and Pippa Middleton) to the red carpet (Beyonce, Scarlett Johansson) — can always look effortlessly chic with her wavily tousled caramel-brown locks. This month, she celebrates the 10th anniversary of her fashion label, Temperley London, with the release her book True British: Alice Temperley (Rizzoli New York).
Though Temperley is something of a British style goddess, none of this is entirely exclusive to her heritage: "You should be open to inspirations from all around the world," says Temperley. "The British spirit means playing fair and battling on with a wit and self-deprecation. It means not being afraid to be yourself."
Known for her eccentric magpie style and embroideries, Temperley's fashion house produces up to 13 collections a year. It started back in 2000, when Temperley successfully launched her first collection at London Fashion Week. Soon after, the first Temperley London boutique opened on Colville Mews in Notting Hill, London. Now, her designs are one of the most distinctive in contemporary British fashion, and she's received prized recognitions that include Glamour Magazine's "Designer of the Year" and Elle Magazine's "Young Designer of the Year." Just this year, she was awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).
Like any designer's debut book, True British features a visual behind-the-scenes look at Temperley's design process, fashion campaigns, and images that document the growth of her company and style. There are hints and traces of her own inspiration, which she notes stems from the simple things in life: traveling, people, film, and flea markets.
Ultimately, though, True British is a photographic chapter book that chronicles the steps and stages of her successful career in fashion — from tragic lessons to the glamorous aftermath of hard work. "There were so many mistakes!" she admits. "It is very tempting to take on too much work — and, if not carefully managed, work can take over your entire life."
Two things I learned from Temperley: true creativity in fashion means paying little mind to the talks and trends of the industry. The second (if you're lusting after those lovely bohemian locks like I am): deep nourishing conditioner and leaving the hair to self dry will do the trick! "I don't like the over groomed look," says Temperley. "I prefer my hair a bit wild."
"True British: Alice Temperley" is available for order here.

Lights out on valuable good sense
Every time we flick a light switch to turn on the lights, we should be grateful for the reliability of our electricity. It doesn't take an ice storm, a hurricane or anything else to remind us of that comfort.
Those in America have Duke Energy, more than any other company, to thank for keeping the lights on.
Sadly, Duke Energy is looking to keep us in the dark when things go astray for them. We encourage the power industry giant to reconsider a potential public relations blunder and swallow the damage its accountants are asking lawyers to fix.
In 2013, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources filed a complaint against Duke. Yes, that would be before the coal ash spill into the Dan River, which flows into our beloved Kerr Lake.
Citizens groups became involved with the case. Monday, Duke asked a judge to remove them from its case.
When the coal ash spilled into the Dan, Duke was slow to get in front of it and earned a black eye. Eventually Lynn Good, the CEO, said Duke accepted responsibility and wanted to take action to protect resources.
We'd expect nothing less of a $50 billion company that is the nation's largest in its industry.
But we have expected more than Duke is apparently willing to accomplish. We were rooted in logic linked to the optimistic customer.
The document in court denies legal liability. Timing forced DENR to withdraw a deal that would have fined Duke less than six figures. And Duke has asked a judge to shield its records from North Carolina regulators and environmental groups.
Duke is trying to turn out the lights on us. What is there to hide?
If successful, customers will keep the company in the black. If unsuccessful, see who can spell rate hike fastest.
We can't afford the derailment of a federal investigation into a possible cozy relationship between DENR and Duke. And the power company must follow through on its stated goal to work with communities in the clean up and help protect natural resources.
The legal moves are about dollars and cents. Doing the right thing is much more important, something Duke can easily survive fiscally while moving toward a resolution.

Wyvern's Pilot & Aircraft Safety Survey (PASS) reports make safety and risk assessment visual. PASS is the most advanced trip-specific safety analysis available to charter buyers. Within seconds a buyer creating a PASS Report is presented with operator, aircraft, and pilot records and information from Wyvern's global database, compares it against a chosen standard, and presents a full evaluation in a single report. PASS gives the safety-conscious charter buyer the ability to make informed, risk-based flight decisions at their fingertips.
Results are returned in seconds and include such details as the operator's registered name, DBA names, ARG/US assigned rating and contact. Also included is each pilot's name, certificate type, last known PIC & total time as well as type ratings and time in the aircraft type.
In 1994 Wyvern Consulting, with little fanfare, released the first edition of The Wyvern Standard (renamed The Wingman Standard as of the Original Reissue 2014), a collection of aviation industry best practice audit standards conceived by a group of highly respected flight department managers and aviation industry experts that would comprise Wyvern's first Customer Advisory Board (CAB). This Customer Advisory Board continues to evolve the direction and content of the standard by considering enhancements in aircraft technology and automation, changes in industry best practices, and many other areas which affect safety and risk management in business and commercial aviation.
After twenty-two years, The Wingman Standard continues to be recognized as the industry's gold standard in aviation safety. For those charter operators choosing to commit to the Wingman program this is also an affirmation of their commitment to industry best practices and a high level of safety culture as measured through the Wyvern audit process. In addition to a very demanding audit, which measures all operational sides of the charter operation, an ongoing commitment to provide Wyvern important safety data is required.
Founded in 1996 by Joseph J. Moeggenberg, ARG/US has come to be relied upon by companies that manufacture, finance, operate, use, maintain and market business aircraft. ARG/US provides real-time, accurate information and advice together with unique, proprietary information products. Our primary products focus on safety reports on Part 135 charter companies, financial aircraft operating cost reports, and market research for the commercial and business aviation industry. Since our inception our recognition and influence has grown to the point where we are now the de-facto standard for charter operator safety reports, aircraft operating cost reports and market research for aircraft manufacturers. ARG/US was a pioneer in providing Safety Management Systems to the business aviation sector, and remains a leader in promoting this emerging standard for operations. ARG/US' reputation has been earned through a combination of technologically superior information products, and top quality data and research reports. ARG/US headquarters are located in Cincinnati, OH, with additional offices in Doylestown, PA.
TerraPass is the brainchild of Dr. Karl Ulrich at the University of Pennsylvania. Along with 41 of his students, Karl launched TerraPass in October, 2004 as a way to help everyday people reduce the climate impact of their driving. Within its first year, TerraPass registered over 2,400 members, reduced 36 million pounds of CO2, and earned countless national press and blog articles.

I was fortunate a couple years ago to live in an area of the Catskills where the yarrow grew wild and free, and finally had the opportunity to read the I Ching oracle in the traditional manner. I had used three coins to count the lines for years so it took me a few tries to figure out how to use the yarrow stalks.
This method puts you into a meditative and receptive state of mind. Yarrow encourages this because it is a plant that collects energies and sends them spiraling down through it's hollow stems. The counting becomes a mystical experience with the sound of the stalks clicking and resonating together as they are thrown down, or collected together. Then, when the hexagram is formed, taking time to understand what the I Ching is saying and how it relates to our situations. The whole practice is a wonderful exercise that gets the whole body, soul and mind( on both individual and collective levels) involved.
Most of the following instructions can be found at the back of the translation of the I Ching (or Book of Changes) by Richard Wilhelm. I highly recommend this book for understanding the hexagrams.
It is a little difficult to show all of the possible alternatives in one instructable but I hope that this will help to demonstrate how a reading is done using wild yarrow stalks.

GRAFTON, Mass. - Third-grade students from the Millbury Street Elementary School stepped back in time recently and learned about the history of Thanksgiving.
On Nov. 27, they learned how the Wampanoag tribe members lived during the days of the Pilgrims.
The students planted their own miniature three-sisters garden of corn, squash, and beans; tried their strength at corn grinding; and identified animal tracks in nature.
A member of the Massachusetts Audubon Society brought animal skins to show the students how Native Americans utilized them to make food and clothing.
Each class also wrote a story using Native American symbols. They played rustic Native American games, made pouches, corn-husk dolls and tribal necklaces; and ate a modern version of a traditional Wampanoag snack which included cornbread, cranberries and beef jerky.
The day was highlighted by a visitor from Plimouth Plantation, who brought artifacts for the students to see and touch, marking a fun and educational day.
The school offers a special 'thank you' to the South Grafton Parent-Teacher Organization for sponsoring this enrichment program, and to all the parent volunteers who helped make the day a success.

David Blumenthal announced Thursday that he is stepping down from his post as national coordinator for health information technology.
Blumenthal, appointed by President Obama in March 2009, said he plans to return to Harvard University. During his tenure, Blumenthal oversaw the deployment of funding included in the 2009 economic stimulus package to give doctors and hospitals incentives to switch to electronic records.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius praised Blumenthal for helping to encourage the adoption of new technology.
"David will leave his post having built a strong foundation, created real momentum for [health IT] adoption, charted a course for the meaningful use of [electronic health records] and launched a new phase of cooperative and supportive work with the healthcare community, states, and cities across the nation," she said in a statement.

Livingston Parish going after overdue sewer bills
Livingston Parish President Layton Ricks said an agreement signed by officials should help the parish collect long-overdue sewer bills.
The Advocate reports ( http://bit.ly/11kNsRc) records show customers owe the parish about $275,000 in overdue sewer bills and penalties.
The parish has had no leverage to collect from some of the customers of its sewage system, because they don't obtain water from the parish. That means the parish can't cut off their water to collect sewer bills, Ricks said.
Under the agreement, French Settlement Water Company, which supplies water to many of those customers, has agreed to collect sewage bills for the parish along with the company's water bills.
Marshall Harris, chairman of the Parish Council, said most of the unpaid sewer bills are from the area where the company supplies water.
The company, which has the power to cut off a customer's water for nonpayment, will collect both sewer and water bills from its customers and will receive a maintenance fee from the parish, Harris said.
The agreement - which was worked on by Ricks' staff, the Parish Council and the company - includes linking water wells operated by the parish and the company so they can provide backup to each other.
That will save the parish the cost of drilling an additional water well, Ricks said.
Under the agreement, the company will read meters and provide other services to the parish's water customers at Haynes Settlement and Bruce's Harbor.
The parish will pay the company $5.25 per household each month for servicing its water and sewer customers and $1.50 a month for servicing its customers that only have sewer service with the parish, according to the agreement.

Bethlehem, Pa., January 30, 2012--A journalist for 30 years and a prolific author of works from children's books to biographies, Naomi Gal, full-time adjunct instructor of multidisciplinary studies, has published her 17th book, Soap Opera, an updated and Americanized version of her first Hebrew novel, Roman Romanti, an Israeli bestseller and Jerusalem Prize winner.
Inspired by the way the media sensationalizes everlasting love and happy endings, Soap Opera follows the lives of two women who could not be more different.
"I wanted to find out what could happen to a woman who is too romantic for her own good and the way books, music and films influence her," says Gal, who waits until the very end of her novel to reveal the special connection the women share. Nora is an overweight nursery school teacher eager to please, and Leonora is beautiful model-turned-writer who is married to a fashion designer. Leonora is on the fast track to fame while Nora is recuperating from a devastating car accident.
In addition to entertaining her readers, Gal hopes to move them. "I wanted to inspire women (well, men too) to overcome their lack of confidence and be as creative as they can, because we are all far more creative than we dare admit to ourselves," says Gal.
Soap Opera--Gal's third novel published in English--transformed Roman Romanti, which was published in the early 90's, into a novel fit for the 21st century. With the help of Carol Traupman-Carr, associate dean of academic affairs, Gal was able to update her previous novel and in Gal's words, "Americanize" it to fit her English-speaking audience.
Gal is fluent in French, English, and Hebrew and knows some Arabic. She previously worked as a translator for the Hebrew edition of National Geographic. Before moving to the United States, Gal spent nearly two decades as a film critic and food writer in Israel before writing novels and children's books. "It [writing novels] allows me to create new worlds and live in them awhile," says Gal, and adds that Soap Opera will not be her last. "Sitting alone and writing, I am really talking to the reader who is reading in solitude, and for a while we are not alone, we communicate," says Gal. "There is a bond." Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Moravian partners with students to build a strong foundation for their future. Visit the College's web site at www.moravian.edu.

Zelda's city scenes were painted from memory and are romantic evocations of her happiest times with her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Often she created atmosphere by using symbols: top hats, umbrellas, wine glasses and gloves indicated city life. In this series Zelda created riotous worlds, sometimes unstable but full of drama and pageantry. Original size of "Brooklyn Bridge" is 13 3/8" x 17 5/8"
This giclée print offers beautiful color accuracy on a high-quality paper (235 gsm) that is a great option for framing with its smooth, acid free surface.

Apple has identified an issue with Thunderbolt Update 1.2 (released Monday, June 11th, 2012) which caused some Macs to become unresponsive on startup after the update was installed. Apple promptly withdrew the update and investigated, discovering an installation compatibility issue with a previous Thunderbolt update applied by some customers. Apple apologizes for the disruption this caused for customers with affected Macs.
Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2 enables Mac computers to support the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If you do not plan to use this adapter, you do not need to install the update.
To recover a Mac computer that will not start up after installing Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2, start up in Lion Recovery by pressing and holding the Command and R keys after hearing the start up chime. Reinstall Mac OS X. Reinstalling Mac OS X using Lion Recovery does not remove any personal data or files from your Mac.
Alternatively, you may perform either of these options:
- Restore from a Time Machine backup that was created before Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2 was installed.
- If you have access to another Mac, you can start up the affected Mac in Target Disk Mode and then install the OS X Lion v10.7.4 Combo Update to resolve this issue quickly.

Apple has posted an updated version of Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 here.

Felony charges dismissed
Prosecutors volunteered to dismiss a case against a Manson man charged with felony starvation of a horse this week in Vance County Superior Court.
Justice J. Mahoney, 45, benefited from protection afforded by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Mahoney had been free on $2,500 bond since early July, shortly after his arrest in connection with the July 5 discovery of an 8-year-old chestnut-colored gelding quarter horse that was found with its entire body inside a watering trough.
Assistant District Attorney Allison Capps said that Vance County Animal Control officers learned of the horse's demise from an informant, but they did not obtain a warrant to search the Mahoney property at 1497 County Line Road.
"They had to go onto private property to find it," Capps said. "They did not have a search warrant or an exception. That requirement extends to animal control officers as well as any other officers."
The dismissal form filed by Capps ordered the recall of all, if any, outstanding orders for arrest, freeing Mahoney of all consequence in the case as a matter of law.
Capps said that she does not believe the case reflects badly on the vast majority of the work being done by animal control.
"Animal control does a great job with what they do, but in that case we just didn't have it," Capps said.
An anonymous tip alerted animal control officers. Alex Hargrove, an animal control officer at the time, had been subpoenaed to testify in the case. He said the horse had died in a trough designed to hold an estimated 100 to 200 gallons of water. He said his impression was the horse suffered neglect before drowning, tethered to a pickup.
Mahoney had been charged with "intentional deprivation of necessary sustenance" over a timeframe from June 25 to July 5, "killing (the) horse that he owned."

Friday, November 8, 2013
On the Friday before Thanksgiving last year, Lee Siler of CBS Films arranged to have a '54 Plymouth 2-door Savoy belonging to Don Turpin of Summerville, picked up for transport to Atlanta, GA for filming scheduled the following Tuesday.
The film is Jon Turteltaub's Last Vegas.
"My car was ultimately chosen for its overall original appearance and color scheme," said Turpin.
Turpin noted that Local Mopar enthusiast Dan Larrabee made the connection from the photo's taken at Patriot's Point and Lee Siler of CBS Films.
Turpin hopes that this may turn into an opportunity to become involved in other movies and TV programs produced locally in the Charleston area, as Siler is from Mt. Pleasant.
This opportunity came through photos taken as a direct result of a joint meeting in October with three other Mopar groups, says Turpin. (Mopar, a portmanteau of motor and parts, is the Parts, Service and Customer Care organization within Chrysler Group LLC. Mopar also designs and builds a small number of customized vehicles.) Another Palmetto Region POC member's car was also considered, Turpin continued, Hugh Hiotts '48 Plymouth Sedan.
"Last Vegas," starring Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen, will be in Movie Theaters Friday, November 1.
