"See-Life" Series, ~ New Series Expansion
(February 2015 – Present)
My popular "See-Life" series has been reinvigorated! Many new works have now been completed over the past 4 months. They are available now for viewing and purchase at NewZart Gallery & Studio.
My popular "See-Life" series has recently seen a jump-start with 6 new works since February of 2015. These ultra unique Geometric Bio-Abstractions were very popular with both collectors and patrons when they came out a little over a decade a go.
I feel I have truly reinvigorated this line with these 6 new and evolutionary works recently. These newer pieces are even more dynamic than the originals with more intricate and complex detailing and a far wider usage of the color spectrum.
By popular demand, the "See-Life" series is back, and back to stay this time. I will be expanding and growing this line throughout 2015, – and for many years to come.
"Redheaded Woman Series" ~ Fauvist-Surrealist Paintings
Now available for viewing and purchase at NewZart Gallery & Studio:
(Jan, 2015 – Present)
I have a new and expanding body of Fauvist-Surrealist-Cubist Figurative works, entitled the "Redheaded Series." These works display widely varying moods (based from a similar model), and are done in a Fauvist ~ Geometric fashion. The first couple works in this series, "Redheaded Woman in Distress," relate directly to an overt and obvious discomfort in her internal mood, and then also her expressive nature. I have given all of these works a strong emphasis on introspection, and the mood that then ties with those thoughts. Many of the subsequent works (after Redheaded Woman in Distress) relate to a myriad of other moods and emotions, each quite unique and different from the last, but all with this mood directly infused into the expressive nature of the piece.
I have always been quite drawn to the early 1900's Fauvist works. Their break away from impressionism at the time led to a wonderful and more painterly surreal color palette, which I think is fantastic. Some of favorite Fauvist-Surrealist painters might be then: Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Jean Metzinger, Gustave Moreau, and Kees Van Dongen.
I will continue to grow and expand this repertoire of work through 2015-2016, and beyond. These fauvist (yet also geometric inspired) paintings are an absolutely wonderful break for me. My ongoing expansion and personal evolution of *geometric abstraction will continue indefinitely (*many also based from the early 1900's).
Currently many of these works are viewable at the gallery (NewZart Gallery).
"Linear-Geometric Abstraction & Geometric Color Field Painting, ~ A Retrospective and Resurgence" at the Madison County Arts Council (MCAC is located at 90 S. Main Street, Marshall, NC)
(Opens Friday August 8th, 2014 – September 26th, 2014)
I will be installing over 30+ works spanning over two decades of effort in Linear-Geometric Abstraction and Geometric Color Field Painting at the MCAC in downtown Marshall, NC this coming month. The show will be starting on Friday evening from 6-8pm on August 8th, and running to September 26th, 2014.
Shown will be many innovative and unique works done in my own highly specific styles created through many years of personal study and process experimentation and refinement. Many of my calculated linear-geometric works are conceptually derived from previous modern geometric abstract art genres of years past. Geometric abstraction began it's ongoing history in the late 1800's by the hands of renown Russian born artist *Wassily Kandinsky (*Kandinsky is also known as the father of abstract art in general). You will hopefully see many elements of Kandinsky in much of my work these days, especially in my latest "GCS" series. I plan on including a handful of compositional linear-geometric works at the upcoming installation at the MCAC.
Color Field Painting came into its own in the 1940's and 1950's in the U.S., and grew into prominence with works from artists like: Mark Rothko, Hans Hofman, Barnett Newman, Helen Frankenthaler, Clifford Still, Robert Motherwell, and many others. Many of the works from these artists have strong Geometric references, both in *Hard and Soft (*style reference) forms. I myself have been doing a good deal of Color Field & Geometric Color Field Painting now for over 20 years. I have created a large body of work in both Hard and Soft forms. I will have on display many samples of this style work at the upcoming MCAC show.
My latest Surrealist-Cubist Figurative Paintings are now available for viewing and purchase at NewZart Gallery & Studio:
(May, 2014 – Present)
I have been working diligently in 2013 & 2014 growing my body of Surrealist-Cubist-Geometric Figurative works. Many of these works (including brand new works) are at the gallery now and available for viewing and purchase (NewZart). I was very heavily inspired by the early 1900's Surrealist-Cubist figurative works of: Picasso, Braque, Metzinger, and Cezanne. These are some of the very same artists I have studied over the past several decades in relation to my ongoing Geometric Abstractionist series works. I plan on continuing to grow and expand this repertoire of figurative works, many to be derived from this wonderful and intriguing era of geometric-figurative paintings from the early 1900's.

Several initial GCS works are now done and are currently out and on display at NewZart Gallery & Studio (NZAG&S is located in D.T. Marshall, NC).
These new works are the result of many years of personal study (and process work) related to Liner-Geometric Compositional Abstracts. Specifically those works from the father of abstraction, revered Russian abstract and linear-geometric artist "Wassily Kandinsky."

Do you have a sailboat insurance policy? Or for that matter, a boat insurance policy (if you prefer power boating). Either way, you do need a metal insurance policy.
Now, this has nothing to do with precious metals (although this one could be the most valuable metal at one time or the other), like those sold at rates linked to the stock exchange. Not gold or silver--yet more valuable than either.
Indeed, your Metal Insurance Policy (M.I.P.) should be forged of strong steel, able to protect you, your family, spouse, sailing partner or sailing crew. And do all of this in fair or foul weather. You see, this has nothing to do with the typical paper policy. It's much more valuable.
So what constitutes a M.I.P.?
Your anchors. Note the plural use of the word. One does not cut it. Ever. In any case. You need at least two. If you cruise you need at least three. And here's why...
* Fair weather anchorages can turn foul in a heartbeat if the wind or current shifts...
* Or some bonehead boater decides to put down short rode; drags at 0200 in the a.m., snags your hook and breaks it free...
* Or the protective shore you thought offered safe haven becomes a deadly lee shore and you need to buoy and leave your anchor behind for later retrieval...
* Or your anchorage will soon be visited by heavy weather--and you haven't time to get underway and head out to sea.
This article isn't about anchor choices, anchor size matched to boat displacement (plus freeboard and windage aloft), or other considerations. Plenty has been written on those topics.
But the point remains...
Anchors are one of the most overlooked, taken-for-granted, and un-checked pieces of vital sailing gear aboard most boats. Looking doesn't cut it. You need to inspect the anchor, the weak links (shackles and shackle pins) for integrity, and rode and chain for chafe or potential failure.
Each time before you set sail--or cast off. Day sailing, racing, weekend cruising or distant voyaging. No matter the type of sailing you prefer, take the time and effort to do this each time. Every time. Put it onto your pre-sail checklist. Do it now!
Take five minutes to check your anchor gear (collectively known as 'ground tackle'). Make sure the rode stands ready to run out free or kinks and knots. Spot check rope rode for chafe or wear. Light surface wear may not cause failure, but more than that could. If in doubt--change it out. All of it. Swap out your rope rode for peace-of-mind if you find significant chafe or wear. This will give you peace-of-mind anytime you lower the hook.
Check the shackles, shackle pins, and make sure the shackle pins are lashed ('moused') to the shackle body with wire or heavy waxed sailmaker's twine or marline.
Look inside the eyes that attach rope to chain. Do you see worn, corroded, or chipped thimbles (tear-drop shaped sleeves that protect the rope rode from wear)? If so, replace broken, pitted, worn, or missing parts right away.
Use these simple sailing tips when sailing or cruising. Inspect your metal insurance policies before you go sailing to keep you and your sailing crew or partner safe and sound on the waters of the world.
John Jamieson (Captain John) with 25+ years of experience shows you the no-nonsense cruising skills you need for safer sailing worldwide. Visit his website at www.skippertips.com.

Good option in the shopping districtPosted on 09 / 02 / 2008
Ate here once in August '08. It's on level 2 of the department store next to Chitlom skytrain station. They have a separate vegetarian menu. The food was very good. Fast service in clean premises. Excellent ginger tea. I would have gone back but only discovered it the day before I left Bangkok.

The Church of the Sacred Heart was the first church to be organized in Rush City.
It was Fr. Maurice Murphy from Stillwater who came here on occasions and presided over Eucharistic celebrations in private homes in the 1860s. By the initiative of Fr Murphy the first log church was built in the fall of 1870 in the present landed property, but on the southwest corner. A resident priest in the person of Fr. William Carey was accorded to this community in 1874. Subsequently, a rectory was built and a cemetery was organized. From 1874 to 1889 the parish was part of the vicariate of Northern Minnesota and then got transferred back to the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis. The second church was completed in the year 1887 during the pastorate of Fr. P. Carey. It was during the time of Fr. R. V. Kennedy that the present church building was erected in 1905. The building suffered serious damage to the interior during a fire in 1939, but was restored and redecorated in the following year. The parish has had different rectories through the years and the present one was completed in 1969. The priests who resided here used to be responsible for services in the different neighboring churches and among them the last one to become independent was St. Gregorys in North Branch.
Now, Church of the Sacred Heart, Rush City is the northernmost parish church belonging to the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. There are 300 families that belong to this worshiping community. The summer festival celebrated here, started in the 1920s, has been a great attraction in Rush City. It has been revived again in 2002.
The Sacred Heart Mens Club, The Circle of Catholic Women and The Youth Group are very active in the parish. This parish community caters to the spiritual needs of the Catholic inmates of the Minnesota Correctional Facility - Rush City.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/362,746, filed on Mar. 8, 2002, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention generally relates to a method and system for conducting financial transactions, and more specifically to a method and system for conducting financial transactions in isolated economic environments, such as ships at sea.
Various types of methods and systems for conducting financial transactions exist in the prior art.
EP 1033688A1 (the "EP '688 Application") discloses a method and system for managing transactions, which provides distributed services for use of a transaction card, such as a smart card, on board a ship when shipboard communications with a centralized host system are not available. The data representing current transaction information for the transaction cards of the ship personnel is stored in the distributed card management system database, and at regular intervals, when ship-to-shore communication is available, the land-based and shipboard databases are synchronized.
U.S. Pat. No. Re. 36,788 discloses a method of transferring funds from a first financial institution to a second financial institution using smart cards. The method includes linking a smart card to a first financial institution, debiting an account at the first financial institution and recording a corresponding credit value on the smart card. The credit can then be transferred to other smart cards, which in turn transfer their credit value to a second financial institution.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,105,008 discloses a system and architecture used to load a credit value on a smart card from a bank account, which can then be used to pay for goods and services purchased from merchants on-line using the Internet. The purchases are made using credit values stored on the smart card. The merchants receive payment from the bank account by way of information from a payment server.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,289,324 discloses a system for performing financial transactions using a smart card. The smart card has an electronic purse feature that is readable and modifiable as required by an external terminal. A preset value is stored on the smart card. As transactions occur, the stored value is reduced. Additionally, other functions can be authorized using the smart card such as stock transactions and find transfers between accounts.
A review of the prior art shows that none of the references disclose a system utilizing a unitary account structure that allows financial transactions to occur in isolated economic environments based on actual and anticipatory funding.
The present invention is a system and method for conducting financial transactions in an isolated economic environment, such as on a ship at sea. The system of the present invention includes a self-sufficient financial account system in the isolated economic environment. The account system has asynchronous connections to various financial networks by which it is able to conduct financial transactions even though it is out of contact with the financial networks for extended periods of time (e.g., several weeks). When in contact with the financial networks, the self-sufficient account environment synchronizes accounts on opposite sides of the asynchronous link. Significantly, the present system allows anticipatory funding of account holders' accounts using provisional credits tied to known dates of direct deposits, requested but executed ACH transfers, and requests for credit card transfers. Using these mechanisms, the self-sufficient isolated account environment is able to provide the users access to funds which would otherwise be unavailable at the remote isolated location for extended periods. The present invention further includes a debit card that also includes a smart card chip. The debit feature of the card is accessed using a magnetic stripe embossed on the card. The smart card chip creates a secure customized "E-purse" which stores virtual cash. This virtual cash is accessed using smart card devices located in the isolated economic environment.
For the purposes of illustrating the present invention, there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred, it being understood however, that the invention is not limited to the precise form shown by the drawing in which:
The present invention relates to a financial system in an isolated environment such as onboard a ship. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system utilizes a smart card that has both a magnetic strip and smart chip. The card functions as a normal ATM credit/debit card as well as stored value card. The magnetic stripe acts a traditional debit/credit card while the smart chip stores funds. The funds stored in the smart chip stores can be transferred to it from demand deposit accounts (DDAs), checks, and credits. Anticipated funding events such as an upcoming payroll check are used to fund the DDA that is then used to fund the smart chip.
The financial system has an open transaction platform that allows users to carry out secure transactions on any wired or wireless device, at any time and from anywhere. Transactions are initiated by the smartcard that provides user identification, authentication, authorization, multiple payment functionality, and the secure transmission of information.
Various functions can be performed using the smart card such as depositing funds to the chip from a check or cash, transferring funds from the chip to cash, transferring store credit to the chip, or transferring funds from the chip to store credits. Additionally funds are transferable between chips of different smart cards.
As shown in
The isolated database 14 contains customer accounts, transaction records regarding the accounts, transmission information, and the like. The data in database 14 also includes information regarding each individual card and smart chip, such as information related to the amount of cash stored on a smart card in the isolated environment. Thus, if a card is lost or stolen the card can be replaced and the remaining balance of stored value can be transferred to the new card. In one embodiment of the invention, balances are maintained only in the non-isolated, shore based database 140. Thus, if a card is lost or stolen the funds can only be replaced when database 140 is accessed.
Database 14 also stores data from network 20. Network 20 contains such elements as an ATM 22, vending machines 24, stores 26, PX 28, terminal 30, and the like. As a card is used at any of the locations connected to network 20, whether it be a debit transaction, a credit transaction or a smart chip transaction, the transaction is recorded in database 14.
Whenever possible, database 14 and database 140 are synchronized. That is to say, isolated database 14 and non-isolated database 140 are mirror images of each other to every extent possible. Database 140 is preferably part of a banking system that is not in an isolated environment. The two databases 14 and 140 are synchronized with updates using various communication means. The databases 14, 140 can be connected to each other via various electronic transmission means such as the internet, radio, satellite (e.g., 101), modem, and the like. Additionally, if electronic transmission means are unavailable, synchronization takes place using updates on paper records, magnetic discs, magnetic tapes, CDs, or the like. The updates are the result of a batch process that summarizes transactions and provides a summary that is used to update and synchronize the accounts in databases 14, 140.
The shore database 140 is understood to be the "home" of the account information, however, both databases 14 and 140 maintain records of the account information. The ship database 14 is synchronized with the data on the home database 140. In a preferred embodiment the shore side data is pulled to the ship database 14, not pushed from the shore database 140. Further, the data from the shore database 140 is extracted on a regular basis when communication is possible. When a ship goes into blackout mode, i.e., is in an isolated economic environment, where no communications are permitted, the ship-side batch process creates at most one synchronization file for transmission to the shore database 140 and then continues to record the start and end times for synchronization files in the database 14. Additionally, the ship side batch process continues to attempt communication with the shore-side database periodically until it can continue to attempt communication with the shore-side database periodically until it can continue transmitting and receiving files. In another embodiment, the ship side batch process continues to prepare new update files which are placed in a repository for the shore-side process to retrieve when communication is reestablished with the ship.
The process generates error logs in report form to notify an operator if transmission or database integrity errors prohibit the processing of an update. Alerts may be implemented using email or console type alerts.
An account/card holder, i.e., a user, is able to perform many tasks in the isolated environment using the terminals 30 or ATM's 22 connected to network 20. A user is able to transfer funds from an account to the chip. The account is debited and the card chip is credited the transfer amount. A transaction table in database 14 maintains a record of completed transactions and a transaction log records the transaction. Thus, when the ship-side database 14 and land based database 140 are synchronized, the account from which funds were debited is updated. Alternately, the user can transfer funds from the chip to one or more of the user's accounts. Funds can also be transferred from the representation of the account, the ship account, to a DDA account or from a DDA account to the ship account. The transaction log has records of the complete transaction as well as the transaction table.
The system also allows chip-to-chip fund transfers. The first user's chip is debited the transfer amount and the second user's chip is credited the transfer amount. Transaction logs and tables record the transaction. To transfer funds the first user inserts the card into the ATM and enters a PIN number. The user then requests a chip-to-chip transfer. The ATM or terminal verifies the funds on the chip and withdraws those funds requested to be transferred from the chip. The funds are then deposited in an escrow account. The ATM prompts insertion of the second user's card into the ATM or terminal. User two then enters a PIN number and the system verifies the funds in the escrow account and transfers those funds to the second users chip.
In a similar manner, vending machines and store purchases can be made using the smart card. The user can choose whether the transaction is processed using the magnetic stripe as a credit/debit card, or from stored value maintained on the smart card chip. It should be noted that any transfer would, in a preferred mode, be processed through an escrow account.
The user can fund the stored value in a smart chip in a variety of ways. The user can perform funding at a smart card enabled ATM. The user inserts the smart card in a smart card enabled ATM or slides the smart card in a reader. The user is then prompted to enter a PIN number that is verified. The user is then prompted to select a transaction. When funding is selected, the user chooses the source for the funds to be transferred. The sources available depend on the user but are selected from DDAs, other deposit accounts, credit accounts, or other users. The user then enters an amount to be transferred to the smart card. The system transfers the funds if they are available.
The ship account and the shore account are the same account. Where communication is possible, both the ship account and the shore account are periodically synchronized. When the ship is out of communication, user's can add funds up to the balance of their accounts at the last synchronization. If the funds are no longer available when communications are restored, the account is overdrawn.
Funding of the user's account from anticipated events form a significant part of the present invention. Anticipated funding events are events such as upcoming payroll, requested but unexecuted transfers, requested but unexecuted reimbursements, and the like. The isolated system 10 is capable of crediting a user's account with an anticipated funding amount, e.g., their direct deposits payroll account, even while the ship is out of communication with the home account. In essence, the isolated system 10 is performing synchronization of the account representation in databases 14 and 140 even though the isolated system 10 is not in communication with the non-isolated "home" system 100. On the date that the actual funds are deposited in the user's "home" account in database 140 in system 100, the remote isolated system 10 credits the user's account in database 14. The amount of the anticipated funding is equal to the most recent payroll amount in the most recent payroll cycle. This anticipatory funding allows a user to access funds that would normally be unavailable. When the ship communicates with the shore financial institution, the account is reconciled using the updates as previously described.
The isolated system 10 and the non-isolated system 100 are each complete financial systems. Thus, the systems 10 and 100 are able to track funds in the ship safe, i.e., maintain an accurate balance of all cash held on the ship, perform automated end month processing, and perform automated settlement of funds with merchants. Further, the system has the ability to report the cash position of the entire fleet, sub-fleet, individual ship, and individual type of ship.
The self-sufficient banking environment 10 is able to function in an environment where there are multi-week communication blackouts from a financial network. The self sufficient banking environment and 10 the non-isolated financial network 100 are capable of synchronizing each user's account upon establishment of a communication link between the two systems. The synchronization of the user's account includes reconciling actual transactions and anticipatory funding events. The anticipatory funding events are related to known dates of direct-deposit pay, requested ACH transfers that are unexecuted, credit card transfers, and funding with uncleared checks.
The ability to transfer funds to the chip eliminates the need to have large amounts of cash available. Thus, the risk of theft in closed environments is reduced. Further, the risk of loss is eliminated. If a user were to lose cash, assuming in a ship environment that the money is lost overboard, the cash cannot be replaced. However, in the present system, each transaction is recorded. Thus, if a smartcard is lost, the remaining cash value can be determined.
As shown in
Although the present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments thereof, many other variations and modifications and other uses will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is preferred, therefore, that the present invention be limited not by the specific disclosure herein, but only by the appended claims.

Swarm Team
This is intended for the LSI team. Others may not participate.
There is significant advantage to being hooked up with Honeybee Keep and LSI for swarm season. I have already put in many hours calling every Animal Control Department, every Fire Department, every Police Department in the metro area to ensure we are on their swarm list. Because I commit to arriving on scene within two hours, we are the vendor of choice for Westminster and Golden. We are also vendor of choice for Denver Public Schools. We will have swarms, 100% guarantee. How many? No one knows. We got four in 2011. We got 15 in 2012. We probably ran on 25 calls in 2012. In 2013 we were back to four again.
My goal here is to fill the LSI team hives. It's a lofty goal. I have many other hopeful beekeepers contacting me and asking to be on the swarm team, but I have to turn them down because I know all our swarms are already allocated. These are people willing to pay me for a swarm, but the swarms delivered to LSI will have no charge. In return, you will share any harvest you get with the team. Our goal is to produce abundance so that everyone may have as much honey as they need for a year. This will likely take multiple years to achieve.
This is the swarm team phone tree and guidelines. Direct questions or comments to Don Studinski, but only after you have read this entire page which may already answer your questions.
Participation is by invitation and is voluntary. You are responsible for taking care of you. Your swarm coach is not responsible for your safety. You are. You are LIKELY to get stung. If you are not ok with that, then please do not participate. Your committment for participation is from mid April through end of June. You are required to provide your own protective clothing. You should keep these things in your car the whole season, ready to run any minute: bee suit, veil, gloves, nuc box with ventilation.
Picking up a swarm is a service that beekeepers "give" to their community no charge. But that's the case where it really is honeybees and retrieval is relatively easy. If a customer "fools" us into running on some wasps or yellow jackets, then I would not hesitate to give them a bill. If the honeybees are especially hard to retrieve, I may also bill the customer. I charge $50 to roll the truck if it turns out to be wasps. Likewise, if it's a difficult retrieval I would charge $50. If you choose to charge, I suggest you at least act like you know what you are doing.
This is about more than just getting honeybees. It's about education for the participants and for the public that may be looking on. We will call all the participants until they request to be removed from the list, assuming they want to run for the education. We will always wear protective clothing to set a good example for anyone watching. Yes, I know it's probably not necessary. Too bad! Set a good example, kids may be watching.
This phone list may change during the season. New members may be added and someone may fall off. I will give you heads up about updates as best I can. The list is who is on the team according to Don's latest knowledge. This is team work, both for getting swarms and for keeping this list accurate. If you know of something out of date here, please let Don know.
Swarms are intended for specific receivers in a specific order. See status below.
You may live in Golden and run on a swarm in Denver that is intended for a receiver in Boulder. You are expected to either deliver the swarm where intended or arrange for someone who can. This may cost you in terms of time and gas. Your expenses are not reimbursed. Please prepare accordingly. Catchers are those with beekeeping experience and should make the delivery just in case the receiver has no experience with bees. Catchers load the hive, that is, they perform the installation.
Here's how it works:
Don will play a primary role. Don gets a call about a swarm at some address in the Denver metro area. Don will get the address and phone number for followup. Don will start the phone tree by calling David Whitehead and David Braden. Each David will then call the people on their list, two people. Each of them call the people on their list, two or one. In this manner, we can call everyone in just minutes. If someone doesn't answer, please leave a message and make their calls for them. Assume they are not available and those people down the tree will be left out if you don't make those calls. Please make the call. Do not assume a text is okay.
We commit to have a beekeeper on-site (for honeybees) within two hours of the original call to Don. If, for any reason, it seems like we will not make that committment, please keep the customer up to date about progress. Remember, customers are usually afraid. Personally, I also want to know these things:
- Are you sure it's honeybees? You can see a picture of a honeybee, a yellow jacket and a honeybee swarm here: Reference Articles. Refer the customer to the webpage and get them to confirm they are honeybees.
- How high are they? Consider whether you or the customer have the necessary ladder to get to the bees. There is no point in rolling on bees too high to retrieve.
- How big is the swarm? Football size or larger has a better chance of living. We can choose not to roll, but should give the customer an alternate contact, Colorado State Beekeepers Association.
- How long have they been there? Remember, they will not stay forever.
Generally, an experienced swarm catcher will be there to show new folks how to catch a swarm. These are:
- Don Studinski
- David Braden
- David Whitehead
- Ruth Rinehart
- Peggy Gates
Later in the year, you may feel comfortable running without a coach. That's fine.

The off-again, on-again railroad overpass project in Erwin is on again. As Press Erwin Bureau Chief Brad Hicks reported recently, the steel needed to construct a portion of the bridge that will go over the railroad tracks crossing Second Street has finally arrived.
That's good news for every motorist who has ever been forced to wait at the busy railroad crossing. Local residents have been looking forward to the completion of this overpass for more than 20 years.
Some of the blame for the slowness of this project is the federal regulation and oversight of the railroad industry that dates back to the 19th century. As we've said in this space before, state government has little say in the operation of rail companies and local governments have virtually none.
"We can't erect anything over the railroad without the railroad giving us the OK, so we're waiting on word from them," Randy Busler, Tennessee Department of Transportation district operations manager, told Hicks last week.
Hopefully, that word will be given quickly. In the meantime, we think it's time for a complete federal review of railroad regulations, which have not seen a major overhaul in many decades.

Full detailed profile on Arianna Hernandez Played by Lindsay Hartley on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Lindsay Hartley (NBC)
Birthday: April 17, 1978
At Sami's house, Rafe tells Arianna he's not asking her to lie, he's asking her to curb her suspicions. Arianna says this goes against everything he believes in, asking what Sami has done to him. Sami appears and says, "Go on, Rafe, tell her."
Arianna stammers to EJ in the DiMera mansion about having life-changing news. She confesses she doesn't care how much evidence Rafe has against EJ. She knows he's no monster and that he loves his kids. She can help get them back and is about to tell him that Sami shot him when Kate interrupts. She refuses to allow Arianna to help hurt her grandchildren and harks that Will is innocent. Arianna leaves to take a call from an impatient Gabi who is waiting to have dinner with her sister. Ari's harried and promises to hurry over but she's in the middle of something. EJ, meanwhile, wants to know where Kate's loyalties lie. If she tries to come between his attempts in getting his kids back she'll regret it. Ari returns and EJ takes a call and roars into the phone for the caller to take care of things for him or suffer the consequences. He hangs up and starts to sway before collapsing. Kate and Ari rush to his side. He has a seat and declares he's fine. Kate lets Ari know the doctor said no stress so she takes off to meet her sister. Later, EJ leaves a message for Ari to call him about her life-changing news.
Philip bumps into Nicole at the pub. He's disturbed to learn she knows about the one-night stand and gasps. "How much did she tell you?" She doesn't know who the guy is so Philip acts as though he is curious about him as well. Nicole thinks it's a matter of time until Daniel learns the truth, since everyone else knows!
Nearby, Gabi and Arianna sit. Gabi says she went shopping for a party with Rafe, who paid for a beautiful dress. Arianna's shocked to learn Rafe quit his job and now has to take care of Sami and her four kids with no job. Ari realizes she must tell EJ the truth after all.
Arianna listens at the pier as Sami and Will discuss how the DiMear's will always think one of them did it. Will asks if she's sure there's no evidence. Sami assures him EJ will never be able to prove she shot him. Arianna wonders what to do!
Arianna is outside the pub talking to herself about Rafe loving Sami, who shot EJ. She dials her phone, but then decides to tell 'him' in person.
At the hospital, Arianna runs into EJ's room and sees the empty bed. The doctor tells her he went home. She leaves.
EJ gets home to the DiMera Mansion where he is flooded with memories of Sami yelling at him. He tears up. Stefano joins him. EJ angrily expresses that he misses his children - and Samantha! Stefano shakes his head, then rants that he's rhapsodizing about a woman who likely shot him. EJ says if she did it, he deserved it, but he assures Stefano he'll find a way to get the children back. Arianna comes to the door. Lexi warns her not to stay long. EJ asks what's on her mind.
Nicole and Brady kiss at the park, before the wedding. Arianna stumbles upon them, sickened. She wants to know why they're together. Brady says he doesn't owe her an explanation, and simply says he and Nicole are together. He leaves to get the rings and Arianna wonders what Nicole did to him to turn him into an arse. Nicole taunts the other woman before Ari runs off. Maggie and Victor arrive and Maggie reports that Lexi and Abe can't attend because of a crisis and Victor shares that Justin's running late.
Stefano finds EJ reading a book in bed. He looks and feels stronger. EJ says he has his operative, Arianna, out investigating his shooting. Ari shows up and Stefano takes off. EJ pretends that his father has been feeding him a pack of lies about Sami and Will and thinks Ari's the only person he can trust. He asks if she thinks Sami or Will could have shot him, worrying about what Stefano would do if it were true. Ari agrees to do sleuthing.
Nearby at the hospital, Daniel is stopped by another doctor about EJ's procedure. They square things away and Carly wanders over. She wants to talk but he's trying to get to his wedding.
Lexi arrives on Sami's doorstep and asks her to pretend she's married to EJ for a while longer. Sami grudgingly agrees to it though she is sick at the thought. After both have left to visit EJ, Will answers the door to Arianna, who is looking for Sami. She starts grilling Will about the shooting.

Thanks mostly to Motorola and Chad Eight-Five, the Bengals will be on local TV Sunday. The NFL, which thinks its OK in terrible economic times to continue sticking it to the people whose taxes pay for the stadiums, must be well pleased.
As are the Bengals, who now have sold out the equivalent of six consecutive seasons. Good for the players and coaches, who are worthy of a full house.
But here is a question. Its heresy, its lunacy, its nonsense. Or maybe it isnt:
Vovici Online Survey Software
Whats so great about going to an NFL game?
If youd been faced with the choice of paying for a ticket to Bengals-Texans or suffering the TV blackout, would you have paid?
I know lots of football fans who dont understand why anyone would actually attend an NFL game. The TV coverage has become that good. The TVs themselves are that good. When you can slouch-out in front of a 50-inch high-definition flat screen, 10 paces from the fridge in one direction and 10 paces from the head in another, why would you bother with parking hassles, weather hassles and lining The Familys pocket hassles?
Its not an issue, yet. Even in scary economic times, the NFL is all but SRO. In good seasons, nothing can match the joy of celebrating a win with 60,000 of your closest friends. Nobody ever says, Remember that time we watched The Freezer Bowl in your parents basement?
Things change, though. The $10 ticket then is $70 now. We still have two cars in every garage. Only now, theyre 10 years old and need brakes.
The 20-inch Philco then, with the tin foil antenna, is now a work-of-art monster dominating an entire wall. It was established long ago that football is the perfect TV game: A rectangle inside a rectangle. Box-in-box, packaged in a neat three-hour window.
It used to be exotic, to tune in at 4 on a Sunday afternoon and watch the Rams in L.A. Now, you can watch any game you want and you can watch it on a picture so clear, you can count the pebbles of leather on the ball.
In September, Team Marketing Report put the average NFL ticket price at $74.99. A beer is $6.80, parking $24.13. If youre average and going to the game, youre out an above average $105.92. Thats $1,059.20 for a 10-game season. Honey, pass the Tuna Helper.
(By the way, the St. Louis Rams have the most expensive lager in the league. At $8.70 for 20 ounces, its still a bargain, given how bad the Rams are and the high cost of anesthesia. Either you fracture a 10-spot or repeatedly smash your forehead with a hammer after the first quarter.)
Heres what beer costs at home: Five bucks. Seven or eight, maybe, if your six-pack tastes run snootier than Miller or Bud. There are other differences between There at the stadium and Here at home, contrasts that make you think football is better Here:
Here: Fifty inches of high-definition perfection.
There: Binoculars.
Here: Replays, analysis, highlights.
There: JumboVision screen at a 45-degree angle. Fat guys in front of you running relays to the toilet.
Here: Fridge, head, no waiting.
There: Lines. Medieval events in the mens room, especially when Pittsburghs in town.
Here: Climate control, mute button, loud swearing without persecution. Escape hatch when you cant take it anymore.
There: Leave early because youre hot/cold/wet. Leave early because the Boy Scout next to you is a human thesaurus of four-letter synonyms for unnatural act. Feel guilty because you just blew $105.92.
While were rolling: Whats the fascination with tail-gating?
There: A cold/hot parking lot, where you fan the coals of a mini-Weber while drinking beer before standing 10-deep multiple times in the Porta-Let line. Slam your thigh into a truck bumper while running a Go route for your buddy throwing a Nerf football. Pay extra to park in the Tailgate Lot.
Here: Free parking. Gas grill, climate control, Barcalounger, indoor plumbing. Touch football on Gods own grass.
Here? Or There?
Its not as nuts as you think.

I just found this place, and boy am I glad I have. I sometimes feel like a hermit where I live (Campbell is pretty much a suburb of San Jose), because Dolphins fans seem to be scarce these days.
I've been a fan of the team since 1977, the first year I played football. It was a community flag-football league, and my team ws the Dolphins. I was only 7 years old, but my dad was a football fan. When I learned there was a professional team that used the same name as my team, I started paying attention. It's been almost 30 years now, and I still haven't seen a Super Bowl win. (Ugh, that loss to the 49ers was brutal, just brutal.)
Oh, I just found out about a sports bar called Double D's in Los Gatos. I'll probably be there on Sundays to catch the games. Maybe I'll see some of you around.
Thanks for having me.

1 cup
1 cup
white sugar
2 tablespoons
orange zest
1 1/4 cups
grated carrots
2 2/3 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 pinch
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
Very good! To make this recipe even better and a little bit on the healthier side, I substituted 1/2 cup of the butter for applesauce, I used whole wheat flour, cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and increased the amount of cinnamon to about 2 to 3 tsp. I didn't put in any orange zest because I didn't have any, but I definitely will next time, even though they were great without it!
All-in-all...a great recipe!
I'm on a diet right now, and this recipe was exactly the recipe I was looking for. To make this recipe even more low-fat, I used 1 cup I can't Believe It's Not Butter Light (which has the half the fat and calories than normal butter) and I used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar because I didn't have Splenda on hand. I'm also a cookie dough fiend, so out of curiosity I tried some of the dough before I added in the carrots. It was so yummy, and it was nice to know I was only eating one raw egg :). Like some of the other revewiers said, the cookies don't spread much when you bake them and the dough is a little bit sticky, so before placing the balls on the cookie sheet, I flattened them in my hands a bit. Also, instead of greasing a cookie sheet or using wax paper, I just stuck them on aluminum foil, so when my first batch finished, I simply took the foil (with the cookies still on it) out of the pan, set it on the counter and let it cool while I grabbed a new sheet of foil and baked my second batch.
i made this review before i baked the cookies and after they baked, they were very bland. recipe needs sugar and tastes better as a dough
31 Ratings
Great cookies! Very soft and moist inside, which I like. My changes: finely chopped carrots rather than grated, and whole wheat flour rather than all-purpose. I also pressed the cookies lightly with a glass bottom before baking since they don't flatten at all on their own.
I halfed the recipe and I added vanilla because I didnt have any orange zest. I also cooked these in my toaster oven so they didnt brown on the sides but I took them out at the time said in the recipe. This is THE BEST recipe I have tried on this site! These cookies are excellent!!! and since I see people added other things to the recipe like walnuts and raisins I guess that means I can add more carrots!!!! thank you so much for this recipe. it is SUPER DUPER DELICIOUS!!!! if i ever gave any other recipe 5 stars , I take one back and give this one extras. yummy yummy yummy
They were AWESOME. 1st batch was really good, but the 2nd batch I added raisins and walnuts and topped them off the an orange glaze. FABULOUS!!!
Flavor is very good. The dough was stiff enough to roll into balls and then flatten with a fork. They didn't spread much. Nice to have a crisper carrot cookie.
These are truely yummy, I added 1/2 Teespoon of ground Cardamon powder & the whole seeds of 2-3 whole Cardamon pods to the mixture... Devine !!!!
These are delicious! I used whole wheat flour, no salt, and a full teaspoon of cinnamon, along with a dash of nutmeg. I also added about a cup of raisins which I had soaked in hot water. I also used 1/2cup white sugar and 1/4cup splenda brown sugar mix. I had to cook them longer, about 15-18 mins, but it could be my oven. Very good!

With the draft a month away, teams are trying to figure out where to put players on their boards. Here are some guys to watch:
Andy Dalton, QB, TCU. Dalton could benefit from the questions surrounding Washington's Jake Locker and Arkansas' Ryan Mallett. Teams wonder whether Locker can improve his accuracy and why Mallett doesn't consistently play at an elite level. Dalton, meanwhile, has the intangibles NFL teams love, very good athleticism and a strong arm. Combine those qualities with the throwing ability he displayed at his pro day and Dalton is on the rise. He could end up being drafted ahead of Mallett or Locker or both.
Jeremy Ross, WR/KR, California. He was not a productive receiver at Cal—he caught only 18 passes in a No. 3 role in 2010—but he was a consistently productive returner. When the season ended, he wasn't expected to be drafted. But he had an excellent week of practice at the Texas vs. the Nation game and then ran in the 4.4s and caught the ball very well at Cal's pro day. Ross won't be a high draft pick, but after his strong spring, he should be selected between the fifth and seventh rounds.
Marcus Cannon, OT, TCU. Cannon (6-5, 358) has surprising athleticism for such a big man and has flashed the ability to be a highly productive blocker. When he plays with passion and intensity, he has shown the ability to slide out to handle speed rushers and dominate as an in-line run blocker. However, he doesn't block with intensity on every play and gets beaten by pass rushers who lack his athleticism and natural strength. There are also concerns about his ability to stay in shape and do what is necessary to be the best he can be. Though he has the talent to play tackle in the NFL, a number of teams believe he'll have to play guard because of his weight. Cannon's talent is so enticing that some team will consider using a second- or third-round pick on him, but he could end up failing because he hasn't consistently shown a willingness to compete at a high level.
Jason Pinkston, OT, Pittsburgh. After a strong week of practice at the Senior Bowl, Pinkston was viewed as a second-round prospect who could challenge for a starting job as a rookie. However, when he measured 6-3 3/8 and ran in the 5.4's at the Combine, it raised questions about whether he would have to move to guard. On film, Pinkston displayed the quickness, athleticism, smarts, competitiveness and strength to be a very good starting tackle. At the Senior Bowl, he looked smooth while protecting the edge, so a number of NFL people are convinced he can play tackle effectively in the NFL. However, another faction doesn't believe a 6-3 3/8 tackle can be effective in today's NFL. Though we still believe he'll be a second-round pick, it's not clear which position he'll end up playing.
D'Aundre Reed, DE, Arizona. Nearly everyone who covers the draft knows about Arizona DEs Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore, but NFL teams are trying to get a handle on D'Aundre Reed, the Wildcats' third end. As NFL teams have broken down his film, they wonder why D'Aundre Reed (6-4, 261)—who has good height, quickness, explosiveness, athleticism and strength—didn't have a better college career. He has flashed the ability to make impact plays as a pass rusher and against the run, but he didn't do it consistently. Reed seems to lack instincts and looks mechanical at times, but look for him to be drafted. Some team will be willing to gamble that it can develop him into a better player than he was in college.

Respiratory Medicine, 05/17/2012
Healthy individuals have significantly higher scores in psychological dysfunction and positive mental health than patients with asthma and chronic bronchitis (CB). This suggests that their mental health is much better. The variables related with lower scores out of these variables, and therefore with worse mental health, are: being female, having a greater number of chronic diseases and obesity. On the contrary, alcohol consumption and the practicing of physical exercise are associated with a higher score in the aforementioned variables, thus indicating a greater degree of mental health.

Leadership Structure
PURPOSE OF THEAtlanta Freethought Society
AFS exists to:
Enrich and empower our membership through education and activism
Defend and promote the complete separation of church and state
Educate the public on the benefits and realities of living life without religion
Provide a social and intellectual community for freethinkers
AFS strives to meet these goals through:
Educational efforts

Social events
, including member meetings, social outings, and community outreach.
, including letters to the editors, letter-writing campaigns to elected members of office, demonstrations, information distribution via our newsletter, website, email lists, and educational workshops.
AFS is a member organization, and membership is open to anyone who supports and agrees with our stated purposes.
We are not strident about promoting atheism, secular humanism, agnosticism, or what labels you may choose to describe yourself with, but we do ask
you to be in general support of our stated purposes. We try to balance activism with other member activities.
History of the AFS
The Atlanta Freethought Society (AFS) was founded in 1985 as a local, autonomous freethought
group. Shortly after its foundation it affiliated as a local chapter of the Freedom
From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a national freethought group; in December 1993 AFS voted to disaffiliate from FFRF after disagreements
between the leaderships of AFS and FFRF.
Beginning in 1988 AFS entered into a six-year-long cooperative relationship with the
Humanists of Georgia (HGA), a chapter of the
American Humanist Association with roots dating back to the 1970's.
The two groups held joint meetings and had a common presidency under the leadership of Tom Malone; from April to December 1994 they published
a joint newsletter. Although a majority of AFS members voted to maintain some official relationship with HGA, HGA members voted in December
1994 to formally separate the two groups. At that time AFS adopted its current bylaws (since amended on several occasions) and elected Ed
Buckner as President. AFS was also incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, member-run, educational organization.
AFS remains committed to friendly and cooperative relations with other freethought, humanist, and atheist groups (including the Humanists of
Georgia; the Alabama Freethought Association, an FFRF chapter; the
Birmingham Freethought Society, a member of the
Campus Freethought Alliance; and many others). Since 1996 AFS has
participated in the Alliance of Secular Humanist Societies, a national
network sponsored by the Council for Secular Humanism for mutual support and
cooperation among local and regional secular humanist, atheist, rationalist, and freethought organizations.
Beginning in the spring of 1995 the late Sam Howell donated over $13,000 to the society in
gifts and a bequest in his will for the eventual acquisition of a permanent AFS homeplace. In recognition of his generosity the society voted
to name the current AFS library the "Sam Howell Library", and to give that name as well to any future library located in an AFS
homeplace. The society has also voted to name a conference room in our future homeplace after AFS member Dorothy Anne (Dot) Larson, a founding
member of both the Atlanta Freethought Society and the Humanists of Georgia and a longtime freethought activist and leader.
Kimberly Lyle-Wilson was elected President of the society in 1996 and re-elected in 1997 and
1998. Gordon Shippey served as President Pro Tem after her resignation in June 1998; Judy Thompson was elected in a special election in July to
complete the 1998 term. Steve Yothment served as present after that. Our current President, elected in 2012, is Rick Pace.
AFS has published several books, including an annual freethought calendar, complete with
freethought quotations and classic freethought cartoons; Quotations That Support the Separation of State and Church, edited by Edward M. Buckner
and Michael E. Buckner, a compendium of original quotations from the American Founding Fathers and others in support of religious liberty and
church-state separation; and Bible Bloopers: Evidence That Demands a Verdict Too!, a reply by AFS member Michael Ledo to the works of Josh
McDowell and other Christian apologists.
