It was a good thing that Destiny was on Anderson County's side Friday afternoon.
Without her, the middle school state championship trophy might be residing in Whitley County today, just a long 3-pointer from the Tennessee line in Williamsburg.
And yes, we said her. Destiny. Proper noun. Destiny Stewart.
Residential natural gas customers will see their bills increase 6.6 percent if Atmos Energy gets its way.
The supplier that provides gas to 2,782 Anderson County homes and businesses has asked state's public services commission to approve the increase, along with a proposed 1.9 percent increase for commercial customers and a 3.9 percent increase for industrial customers.
A preacher quoting a Bible verse about repelling evil wasn't enough to stop the Anderson County Fiscal Court from approving Sunday alcohol sales.
Magistrates voted 5-1 Tuesday morning to allow restaurants to sell alcohol by the drink on Sundays, ending a years-long debate about the topic. They also approved allowing the county's two bourbon distilleries and Lovers Leap Vineyard and Winery to sell their products on Sundays.
They did so following an animated upbraiding from a Frankfort-area preacher, who said magistrates are charged with keeping people safe.

The city's annual Holiday Remembrance Ceremony and Christmas tree lighting are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4 at Lawrenceburg Green. The Green is located behind Town and Country Bank and adjacent to the city parking lot.
Former UK basketball coach Billy Gillispie wasn't the first to find out that drinking and driving in Anderson County nearly guarantees a conviction, and he certainly won't be the last.
Anderson trails only Shelby County in DUI conviction rate, and only by the narrowest of margins, according to statistics compiled in a joint effort between the Kentucky Transportation Center and UK College of Engineering.
Between 2004 and 2008, Anderson sported a 92.3 conviction rate, one-tenth of a percent behind Shelby's 92.4.
Judge Linda Armstrong heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Sept. 21.
Joseph L. Linville, arraignment, failure of owner to maintain required insurance/security -- pleaded not guilty, disposition Oct. 5.
Courtney Lovell, arraignment, no operator's/moped license -- pleaded not guilty, disposition Nov. 2.
Ricardo S. Meaux, arraignment, passing a loading/unloading school/church bus -- pleaded not guilty, pretrial conference Oct. 14, motion/disposition/trial date Nov. 2.
Judge Matthew K. Eckert heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Sept. 10.
Melissa D. Bamberger, arraignment, theft by unlawful taking (shoplifting) -- bonded out.
Brian Lawson, arraignment, receiving stolen property (firearm) -- pleaded not guilty, continued to Sept. 17.
Megan L. Reffett, arraignment, fraudulent use of credit cards (less than $10,000) -- pleaded not guilty, continued to Sept. 17.
Kevin D. Gritton loved giving unique Christmas gifts, and this year, his parents gave the state a unique gift in his memory.
Joyce and Jackie Gritton, who live on Wilson Lane in Alton Station, donated a 30-foot-tall Norway Spruce to serve as the Commonwealth Christmas tree at the state capitol.
"This is Kevin's unique gift to the state of Kentucky," Jackie Gritton said Thursday morning just minutes before the tree was cut from his yard.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office is investigating a burglary that occurred Monday morning at Bo's Smoke Shop near Eagle Lake.
The sheriff's office received an alarm drop at 12:15 a.m. Monday. When Deputy Patrick Beasley arrived, he found the front door to the business had been broken out and the store had been burglarized, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
An inventory estimate of $10,000 in cigarettes and cigars had been stolen, including some cash, the news release said.

Trooper Starter Guide
this wiki
So you have decided to hit the front lines, fighting to the defend the Republic by playing a Trooper. You'll have plenty of opportunity to wade into the thick of things, or just blow things up. Let's get started!
The different races available for Troopers include:
Start of the Game
Leveling Up
Getting Around
A lot of missions will feature traveling to a location, doing something or killing someone, and then returning to the person who gave the mission initially. One way to speed up this process is to use the taxis that are scattered around each map. They are indicated with two yellow arrows pointing in opposite directions. Taxis cost credits, but are usually a very small amount, and can only travel to other taxi hubs that have already been discovered.
Another way to get around quickly is to quick travel. That is a special move that is located in the hot-bar on the bottom of the screen. It is blue and looks like a planet. After clicking on the quick travel button, select where to go, and the character will show up there almost immediately. Remember though, quick travel can only be used once every 30 minutes.
There is now a new free fleet pass option available. This allows you to travel back to the Republic Fleet (Carrick Station) once every 16 hours. If you have purchased or use the app for a security key you can also buy fleet passes with a shorter cool-down time.
At levels one or ten, depending on your subscription status, you will unlock the ability sprint. Sprinting is faster than normal walking, but deactivates in combat and reactivates when not in combat. Using it to get around maps is very useful.
By default press the number 1, 2, 3 keys to start attacking an enemy as a trooper in SWTOR. As you gain levels new trainers will appear and you will learn new abilities you can click on the corresponding box to use that power.
Companions are Non-Playable Characters (or NPCs) who follow around the player's character. The first companion that the Trooper has is Aric Jorgan. To improve the stats of your companions, equip them with more advanced items that are compatible with their class.

* What better way to cement Nashville's "It" City status, than bumping Pavement over the P.A. at hockey games? It's thematically appropriate yet obtuse and intellectually detached. And imagine screaming "I keep my address to myself!" at the Wings! It will strike terror in their hearts.
* Just loop the "Boy, count your blessings" line and drop it after every goal — either that or the "this song for all them fuck n****s" part. On second thought, that might not go over too well.
* Obviously, this is just good advice wherever you are, but particularly on the new rink.
* Why this isn't the penalty box anthem? Call me old-fashioned, but there ain't enough thug shit in hockey these days. It's all Euro-dance and child-molesting glam rockers. I will never understand it.
* You saw this coming from a mile away, didn't you?

I called the method

But the translation isn't shown in
Does anyone know where the problem might be?
Thank you!

The rooms are not actually in the building but outside through the garden and all on the ground floor so as a single female traveller I didn't feel very safe.
The room itself was absolutely tiny with a very small double bed. The menu in the pub was ok quite a limited choice. There is NO WIFI at all. Inside they were painting and so there was nowhere to sit for my evening meal. The shower had no hot water. Overall a very disappointing stay.

Not worth the amount they are charging
First impressions was good but went down hill very quickly.
1)Bathroom went out onto a flat roof but the window would not lock. 2)Shower was only just warm and the flow of water was almost none existent
3)Paid extra for double bed but the room had two singles bolted together with two single mattresses so great big ridge down the middle of the bed
4) At nearly 1am the staff left the putting the loudest alarm in the world on, I honestly thought it was a fire alarm forcing me to get up. 5) TV remote did not work
6) I raised all these issues with the only member of staff available who said she would tell the manager. I have had no contact from them. All in all a disappointing stay that to be honest if I had paid £50 to £60 would have probably let go but at £100 I would say not good value for money.

iBet: Don't expect a goal fest at the Den…
Millwall V Ipswich, kick off 3pm
Lay over 3.5 goals at 3.9 to one with Betfair
Ipswich thumped Leeds 3-0 in their last game but that was an exception to the rule – their games are usually pretty low on goals and indeed it was 0-0 when Leeds had Tom Lees dismissed in the first half. No-one in The Championship has scored fewer goals than Ipswich's tally of 39 and away from home their scoring record is pretty dire. Mick McCarthy's men have notched only 12 times in 19 games on their travels – that's five less than anyone else in the division. They have got it together at the back though and have only conceded four times in their last ten games. And Millwall is not a team to be frightened of on the attacking from as they are the joint lowest scorers at home in the division. So we have the lowest scorers away from home against the joint lowest scorers at home. I would be surprised if there were four goals here.
Burnley have won only one of their last 11 games and a fixture against the division's most in-form team is probably not what the doctor ordered. Nottingham Forest's 2-2 draw with Brighton on Saturday ended a run of six wins in a row and I make Burnley a 'lay' at 1.9 to one with Betfair.

OTTAWA LAKE — Whitmore Lake had no answer for Janie Bunge Friday night.
The Whiteford junior rang up 24 points, 12 rebounds and 7 steals to help the Bobcats romp to a 66-20 win Friday night.
"Janie (Bunge) had an incredible game," Whiteford coach Jay Haselschwerdt said.
The Bobcats held Whitmore Lake scoreless in the first quarter and only allowed 6 points in the second quarter.
"Our defensive effort was really good," Haselschwerdt said.
Kaleigh Funchion tossed in 11 points and Emily Ritzenthaler recorded 9 for the 8-3 Bobcats.

Taxation and Regulation of Bonus Pay
We explore the consequence for taxation and regulation of bonus pay when investors are protected by taxpayers from downside risk. The paper develops a model where workers in financial sector firms make decisions about effort and risk-taking which are influenced by the structure of bonus pay. Bailouts lead to too little effort, too much risk taking and increase inequality. We show that the optimal structure of bonuses can be implemented by a combination of a regulation on the structure of bonuses and a tax on their level.

What card to get for D600?
Sep 13, 2012
I was thinking about getting a couple of these KomputerBay UHS-I cards but I decided to stop over here to ask for advice.
Will faster cards result in faster buffer emptying times, or is there a limit?
Is there any reason to pay more for this Sandisk model?

Alex Jones - Conflict of intrest w/ sponsors
- Uploaded by Kanaeta on Jun 7, 2009
- Views: 2499
Revised *****
from original poster - Casey A.K.A Openyourmindseye.com
For all of the People accusing Kan of posting disinformation, your beef is with me. I was the one who initially posted this video, and I did so with honest intent. Everyone has heard AJ say that "The Answer to 1984 is 1776â€. Do you have any idea how small the tea tax was by comparison to the income tax? Threepence per pound it's laughable by comparison and it was a tax on tea, not on labor.
Imagine if the founders were presented with the Idea by the Crown that they should pay a 25-50% tax on the fruits of their labor. The numbers involved in the Revolution would have been 20 fold what they were. Even five year old girls would be loading muskets and taking shots at the redcoats. As far as AJ supporting a sponsor that helps people to settle with the IRS goes, it is my contention that he should at the very least stay neutral on the issue. It would be far less damaging to his character for him to stay neutral on the issue than it would be for him to advocate the idea that we should give up and pay them out of fear, and promote the idea that resistance is futile.
Resistance is not futile, and funding the IRS is funding our own destruction, yes some people who resist the IRS will have to pay a price. Just like Ed and Elaine Brown paid a price, just like Irwin Schiff paid a price, just like Sherry Peel Jackson paid a price, just like Dick Simkanin paid a price, and many more, all of these people are true heroes. But does the risk involved in non-compliance mean we should advocate exchanging our liberty for security? Does it mean we should kowtow to them because they are stronger than us? Well I'm going to tell you guys right here and right now, they are not stronger then us. I subscribe to the words of Gandhi: "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.â€
If Alex Jones, were to suddenly take on a sponsor that offers fluoridated drinking water for babies, and then explain it off by saying, well we can't get away from the fluoride, and babies need water… Would you honestly buy that too? Don't get me wrong, I'm a big AJ fan, but we need to not be sheep, we have to hold his feet to the fire if he does something f***ed up. I assure you, promoting the idea of settling with the IRS, knowing what he knows about the IRS, is completely f***ed up.
Please people do a bit more thinking before you slanderously accuse people of disinformation The sole intent of making this a viral video issue is to get AJ to see how ridiculous he is being, and to drop the sponsor. If AJ truly believes that they want to kill 80% of us, then he of all people should know that it's not time to be afraid, it's time to stop cooperating with the system!
Please, people with heads on their shoulders; help me to help AJ see what kind of message he is sending by taking on this sponsor. I don't think he will need that much encouragement from free minded logical-thinking individuals to drop the sponsor.
P.S. I deleted the online, petition because it's a joke. He's not going to drop the sponsor based on signatures in an online petition. We need to come at him with a common sense approach, after all this is really a simple issue. If you really want him to drop the sponsor, we need to complain to GCN, and complain to him personally by sending messages to his MySpace, and calling him out on air and confronting him with the issue, and making viral videos that express the sound logic of him staying at the very least neutral on this subject of whether or not to pay, or resist, the income tax.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Police in Memphis have arrested two teenagers in the killing of a woman at a banking machine.
WMC-TV reported James Holmes and Bishardo Higgs were charged in two shootings on Oct. 9 at an Orion Credit Union ATM. Both men are 19 years old.
Holmes is charged with first-degree murder in the perpetration of a felony, carjacking, and employment of a firearm. Higgs is charged with especially aggravated robbery.
Investigators say 44-year-old Roneccia Luster was using the ATM when a gun was shoved through her open car window. She was shot when she tried to drive away and died at a hospital. Holmes and Higgs are also accused of then jumping into a convertible and shooting the male driver, who survived his wounds.

Your grandparents remember a rah-rah line of 12-inch dolls with kung-fu grip, providing a male alternative to Barbie. Your older siblings (or, gasp!, parents) grew up with a highly stylized, action-packed, endearingly goofy cartoon franchise fueled by 3 3/4-inch action figures. You might recall anything from G.I. Joe Extreme to the Classic Collection, to pop-culture references like "knowing is half the battle."
Now, a star-powered G.I. Joe movie has begun filming. But the question remains: What will the movie's Joes be like? For the answer, we went straight to the only man who commands both Destro and General Hawk.
Brian Goldner is the chief operating officer at Hasbro, which first introduced Joe to action-minded adolescents in 1964, and is also the executive producer on the "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe" movies. " 'G.I. Joe' has just gone into filming this past week, with a great cast and a tremendous story all based on the comics and the animation," Goldner said. "I think fans, and fans to come, will really love what we're doing."
(In the MTV Movies blog, Goldner talks about the possibility of G.I. Joe's classic vehicles showing up in the movie.)
Undoubtedly, such statements are as musical to the ears of longtime fans as the TV show's theme song. But stars like Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller and Marlon Wayans have been met with varying degrees of enthusiasm from such fans, and Quaid himself recently confirmed that many beloved characters — including Wild Bill, Shipwreck and Tomax and Xamot — won't be in the flick.
"We all really loved what G.I. Joe was about in the '80s; we loved that story arc and the concept of Joe vs. Cobra," said Goldner, explaining that the people who created those characters will return, even if some of their creations won't. Comics writer Larry Hama, Goldner confirmed, "is onboard, and he's working with us on the script.
"And you may see him in the movie," he added.
Noting that the flick, directed by "Mummy" mastermind Stephen Sommers, will largely sidestep the TV show and be more "about the comic books," Goldner revealed some of the major characters and plotlines the film will explore. "We all know of the Arashikage [ninja clan], and we all know of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, but we need to build that story," he explained. "We all know the story of Duke, and the story of the Baroness. … We know the story of Destro, but do we really? We need to go back and tell the origin story of how you get a Scottish arms dealer, who comes forward in history — how does that happen?"
"And Cobra Commander," he added, referring to the evil terrorist leader who fan sites have reported will be portrayed by "Brick" star Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "In effect, this is all about the rise of Cobra Commander. … For fans, they're really going to love this, because we take them on a journey. … We have to go through the first chapter and then build from there."
Goldner was also eager to respond to the controversy over rumors that the patriotic nature of "G.I. Joe" was being toned down in order to be more appealing to a worldwide, post-9/11 audience. "Duke, in our story, really represents the pre-1983 G.I. Joe," he said, linking Channing Tatum's character to the dolls of the '60s and '70s. "If those fans that grew up on the 12-inch Army man are looking for where their anchor should be, it's in Duke; he's the leader of the team and clearly American.
"But the story, just like in the comic books, was a story that took us all over the world," he continued. "That's all we were really trying to get at. And everything else that fans have heard, about the early ideas or contemplations, that's really gone. … We're talking about a story that's going to take us all over the world, from the desert to under the water, to the mountains to cities. … Clearly, the American military is involved, as are other forces. But at the end of the day, the force that matters is the G.I. Joe force, and the Pit, and all the things that relate to that."
We caught up with Goldner at the New York Toy Fair , where he was giving fans a sneak preview of the G.I. Joe toys of the future. At the front of his thoughts, however, was the real-life stars who'd soon be creating the action figures' action. "We think it's amazing to have Channing Tatum as Duke, because I think he has a different kind of fanbase," said the executive producer, who in May will become Hasbro's CEO. "Clearly, Sienna Miller has a wonderful fanbase. Dennis Quaid as General Hawk, he has a tremendous fanbase. So bringing them all together, as an ensemble cast, is going to be really dynamic and something that people haven't seen before. But it'll still be very true to G.I. Joe."
The next question would seem to be a logical one: Will the Joes we know and love be replaced by toy versions of Marlon Wayans and Arnold Vosloo? "Well, what was so magical about the '80s G.I. Joe was the 3 3/4-inch product," Goldner said, revealing that the dimensions of the star-faced toys would be along the lines of the "Real American Hero" line. "[That size] gives people a chance to get all the figures but get all of the vehicles. So it's going to be in that scale. … Very true to where we were in the 1980s, and then we'll take it forward.
"Steve Sommers is very different," Goldner said, contrasting him with "Transformers" director Michael Bay. "But he's perfect, because if you think about his movies like 'The Mummy,' it's the perfect action/adventure movie. If you think about what we're trying to do for G.I. Joe, really bringing back that '80s G.I. Joe from the Marvel comics — those first 155 issues are really our focus. If you think about that, you'll understand what we're trying to get at with all those characters and all the intricate relationships.
"I don't think you'd see this movie as wacky," he promised, alluding to some of the more eccentric characters from the cartoon show. "I think you're going to see this movie as being inspirational for younger kids and totally in the sweet spot for the guys who grew up on G.I. Joe."
In August 2009, we'll see it with our own eyes. In the meantime, "G.I. Joe" continues to shoot all over the world, with a budget so huge that it makes the U.S.S. Flagg aircraft carrier play set look like something you'd get at a 99-cent store.
Check out everything we've got on "G.I. Joe."

It's the focus motor. Manual focus is not directly coupled to the lens, it's fly-by-wire. When you turn the focus ring, it sends signals to the camera, which when sends signals to the focus motor to move the lens elements.
Which is insane if you think about it (versus the simplicity of mechanical focus). Why companies push focus by wire is beyond me.
It's cheaper and simpler to construct. Fly by wire requires a fraction of the precision a good focus helicoid does, and it lets you keep everything proprietary, mostly ensuring that your lenses have to be used on your cameras.
That's the skinny.

The Nite Ize SpotLit LED Clip-On Safety Light attaches to about anything when you need a little extra illumination anywhere from an early-morning jog to to finding your car door keyhole after an evening on the town. This water-resistant, LED-lighted safety light comes includes a long-life, replaceable battery, and weighs less than an ounce.

So handy!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I thought this little light was silly at first when I got it, but it's actually really handy in the fact that I can keep an eye on where my puppy is in the yard during these cold, dark winter nights.
Light Weight and Right Amount of Light
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Worked great for a couple camping trips I went on last year. Weighs practically nothing and it served as a great lantern light for the tent at night time.

Nite Ize SpotLit LED Clip-On
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I put one on my key chain and one on my dog, it works great one my dog when we are out camping and have little to no lights. and is also good to find the key hole on my door
Don't leave home without it
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
We first encountered one of these lights on a backcountry trek that went long and kept us out in the woods past dark. Our friends dog was wearing one of these lights and we could easily see him whereas our dog (all black lab mix) instantly became an invisible ninja that we could only see occassionally when there was enough snow/moon to make her stand out. We ordered one of these as soon as we got back from that trip and we keep this clip-on light on our dog's collar all the time now. This little light is small enough that it stays out of the way and doesn't bother her and its bright enough that we can always see where she is on night time adventures.
It is an inexpensive but very sturdy light.
Helps you spot Spot
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
My red merle aussie pretty much disappears in the Utah deserts, and it doesn't get any better at night. This little guy makes it so she can run around, and I don't have to freak myself out wondering where she is. It's also great for nighttime walks.
The battery doesn't last forever, and it's definitely only water resistant, but all in all, it's a great little light.
Great Tent Lantern
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I got this to use as a tent lantern while backpacking. My requirements were that the lantern:
-be small
-put out enough light to play cards by
-not easily turn on by accident while in my pack
This little light fits the bill perfectly and at a great price. I haven't tested it out while backpacking yet, but I did go into a small room which had zero light. With this light I was able to easily read in the otherwise completely dark room. As one reviewer stated below, it does put out more light on the non-battery side, but this isn't an issue for me because I will just clip it so that the battery is facing the rear of my tent. I have no worries about it accidentally switching on while in my backpack, as it takes a fair amount of effort to switch it on. The attached clip is also of high quality and I don't see it breaking anytime soon.
Overall I'm very pleased with this light and would definitely buy it again.
Laurel Nelson, Gearhead
This thing is awesome
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Whenever I take my dog camping it is so great to have this little light clipped to her collar. You can always tell where she is which comes in really handy when you have a black pup. I have had mine for a few years and it is still going strong!
Exceeds Expectations
There are lots of simple LED lights out there for things like lighting you up in the dark for running, hanging on a tent, putting on your bike, or basically any application where you want to be seen, or want something to be seen at night. I have found most inexpensive LED lights to be not that great. This one, however, really works well. It is quite bright, and even from the back side (where the light is partially blocked by the battery), it still gives off good light. The clips to attach the LED to things are well designed. This is a really great small LED for the price.
For five bucks this is a great little lite!
Nice and Bright
- Gender:Female
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love these lights for my dogs. They are great for making dogs visible at night on walks and perfect for camping when your dog may be off exploring. Just gives you the piece of mind to know where they are. The batteries will run out with heavy use, but they can easily be changed by unscrewing the two sides.
what kind of battery? what kind of screwdriver? how many hours ?
The batteries are watch batteries that you can purchase from any pharmacy or grocery. To change them out you do not need a screw driver. You will simply twist each side of the light housing in opposite directions. The internal section is threaded and unscrews with a little effort. With regards to hours, that is a tough one. We go on 30-45 min walks and the light has lasted us for a good 20+ walks. Probably looking at 10 -15 hours of use although it is really hard to say because we use these when camping as well and I did not monitor the time they were on.
buying batteries on Amazon will save you alot of money
Nothing better then this
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Put in on my dog when I let him out at night I can always find him! Great investment
Let your dog be seen
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
got this for my little dog for night walks and it works great - I feel cars are a lot more aware of her when we are walking. It is also a great way to keep track of her at night when she is running around the yard. Good to have!
Bright Light
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I bought these for my dogs and they are absolutely wonderful. We used them on walks and when out camping. Primarily we got them just to make the dogs a bit more visible at night seeing as they are both black in color. While the white would be more like a headlamp, the red is nice because if you are out hiking at night the light helps you keep an eye on what they are doing without throwing off your night vision. Able to take a beating and lasts for quite some time.
bright and durable
I use this light on my dog to go night hiking or just to see where my dog is at when camping
Bad ass ultra light little led light
It's light and works great as a tent lamp. I wouldn't use it as a reading light (I bought the red light for night vision) but it's great for just about everything else ;).
John Langer, Gearhead
Useful little light
Got this for my dog to use on nighttime walks, or to keep track of him around the campsite after dark, but it also works great as a tent light, key light, etc... It's super bright, and also has a flashing mode.
Ultralight Tent Lamp!!
I use the red one as a very lightweight tent light when I am out on a hike. It just clips onto one of the little loops on the ceiling of my little tent. It weighs about half an ounce, if that, so it sure beats my 8 oz battery powered LED lamp. It's not as bright, but I don't need it to be. The batteries have lasted me through several outings, probably 20 hours so far. If I need brighter light then I put on my headlamp.
I wouldn't trust this to be waterproof, but it has survived a few rain showers with no problems. I would call it weatherproof, but maybe only dunk resistant. The electronics are so basic that if it does get wet just pop it open and let it dry.
Since I really prefer to have a tent light, this little gadget has saved me a significant amount of pack weight. So far it's been reliable and easy to use. I recommend it.
Berner with a Nite Ize LED on
Great Light
I walk my dog a lot. Living in Seattle during the fall and winter months means it's dark outside by about 5:00pm, so our evening walks are typically in the dark and often in the rain. We have used the same Nite Ize SpotLit LED for three years. It's held up really well and changing the battery is pretty easy. It puts out a good amount of light and makes is easy to see our Bernese Mountain Dog. It's easy to attach and remove from the collar ring.
I recommend these for anyone that wants an easy to use light for their pup.
Spotlight on my food
Simple solution for me. I'm actually using a pair of these as spotlights on my 2 burner camp stove so I dont have to have a headlamp while I'm cooking. Excellent burn time and illumination. I don't have a dog...that I know of.

Respond to Review of Chirimoya
by Brennind
Review: We were incredibly impressed with the quality of the food in this place, we came twice and both times the food was divine. The two chefs are clearly geniuses! They opened last month and all the dishes are vegan except that they use honey for some dishes. Apparently they change the two main dishes everyday, always one of the two is raw and the other one cooked. They also offer andean sushi made with quinoa. In total we tried four mains and all four had exquisitely combined flavours. The nut cheese they make is better than anyone i tried before (Australia and New Zealand). Price range is AR$ 30-45. Other things they offer are yummy desserts (the cocoa mousse raw is to die for! ). One more plus: the freshly made juices are stunning. For those who are looking for milk options (our son is casein intolerant) they make super yummy sesame and almond milks that they sell as takeaways in 1l and 1/2l bottles. Hard to find a con, since we loved the place and even the service was awesome.

Illinois lawmakers face two critical decisions over how to carry out President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
Illinois lawmakers face two critical decisions over how to carry out President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
With attention turning in 2013 to how states will implement the health law, Gov. Pat Quinn is pushing legislation to establish a state-run health insurance exchange to help middle-class citizens and small businesses, along with a multibillion-dollar expansion of Medicaid to cover the poor. While the state's Democratic leaders generally support the new health care law, neither proposal will be a slam dunk for passage.
Consumer groups and the insurance industry are warring over whether the state should be able to negotiate with insurers to get lower premiums for people participating in the insurance exchange. It's not clear where the governor stands, but it would be difficult to pass a bill over the industry's objections.
Quinn is expected to get support from the hospital industry and major insurance companies for the Medicaid expansion, , but some legislators object in principle to such an expansion of government programs. States do not have to expand their Medicaid programs under a U.S. Supreme Court decision issued earlier this year.
The Medicaid issue could be addressed when the legislative session begins Jan. 2, before several dozen lame-duck lawmakers leave office.
With or without new legislation, the Quinn administration has signed up for an initial partnership with the federal government to run an insurance exchange — a sort of Travelocity for health insurance — for coverage starting in 2014. Illinois residents will be able to comparison shop for insurance plans starting Oct. 1.
The issues
Here's a look at the issues lawmakers will face:
Q. Who would get coverage under the Medicaid expansion?
A. Starting in 2014, 500,000 to 600,000 uninsured Illinois residents would be newly eligible for coverage by Medicaid, the government health program for the poor and disabled. Most would be low-income adults without children at home.
Hospitals and clinics would benefit, too, because they would be paid for care they now provide free or write off as bad debt.
Illegal immigrants wouldn't be eligible for Medicaid or, for that matter, any other coverage offered in the new health insurance exchanges.
IHA: Fed money means jobs
Q. How much would the Medicaid expansion cost the state?
A. The federal government would pay the entire cost of expanding Medicaid to newly eligible Illinois residents for the first three years. The federal share falls to 90 percent by 2020, with the state paying the rest.
State costs would mount to more than $2 billion through 2022, according to a November report from the nonpartisan Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, which estimates the expansion would bring $22 billion in federal money to the state during that time.
The Illinois Hospital Association says that money would create jobs.
Page 2 of 2 - "We're talking about billions of dollars coming into the state through federal Medicaid matching funds," said A.J. Wilhelmi of the hospital association.
Other supporters of the Medicaid expansion include AARP Illinois, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians and numerous community health centers and patient groups.
However, some lawmakers are wary of increasing Medicaid costs, said Rep. David Harris, an Arlington Heights Republican who serves on the board of Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.
"When we start big expansions of an expensive program, that's a big expense," he said. Harris said he hasn't decided how he will vote.
Online marketplaces
Q. Who would benefit from Illinois running its own exchange?
A. Whether run by the state or the federal government, the exchanges envisioned in the health law are intended to be consumer-friendly online marketplaces where people could comparison shop for health insurance plans.
Most people buying insurance through the exchanges would get taxpayer-financed subsidies, and the exchanges will help qualified people to enroll in Medicaid. Participating insurance plans would have to take all applicants, regardless of pre-existing health problems. The exchanges would feature calculators to help consumers figure out how much they would pay.
The benefit of an Illinois-run exchange would be to keep state regulators — not Washington — overseeing the system. Insurance companies want that, said one lobbyist.
Consumer groups also want a state-run exchange, but for vastly different reasons. They see an opportunity to keep prices lower by allowing the exchange to negotiate insurance premiums.
"The state already (negotiates rates) for state workers' and state legislators' insurance coverage," said Jim Duffett of the Campaign for Better Health Care. "This isn't something that's a new idea."

Thanks, James, you organized a great day. I came home and souped the first of two rolls i took. I'll do the other and the sheet film tomorrow....the first looks really promising! (Sorry I missed saying goodbye to some of you guys; i was upstairs in the millhouse going nuts over old wood, foot thick walls, and ancient, rolled glass window panes )
The plans for future meetings sound exciting. I'll post something about Beacon as soon as I can scout out a likely date.

Chief Martin says Sams waited outside while Phillips robbed the business.
"They removed computers, laptops, a safe and some other minor property, some credit cards as well," says Chief Martin.
He says the two men walked away with more than $2,000 worth of property.
Chief Martin says police have arrested Phillips and charged him with Breaking and Entering, but they still cannot find Sams.
So, if you have any information on where Michael Sams could be, please call the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8444.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT | Are Kitsap Tourists Ready to Get On the Bus?
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND - For more information on Kitsap Tours, visit www.kitsaptours.com or call (877) 877-1950. For more on Bainbridge Island Tours and Sightseeing, call (360) 981-2022 or on Bainbridge, (877) 981-2022.
The cruise ships are here, school's almost wrapped up and the mercury's rising.
Tourist season is here, and a second small-bus tour operator has begun working out of the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal, hoping to bring all those wide-eyed fun-seekers a little farther into Kitsap County than the streets of Winslow.
Jean Boyle of Suquamish and husband Jim are behind Kitsap Tours. Their business involves meeting tourists at the ferry, ushering them into their brand new minibus, and heading off to such destinations as the rest of the island, Poulsbo and Port Gamble, to name a few.
"I tried to talk myself out of it; I tried to get others to talk me out of it," laughed Jean Boyle, who's launching the endeavor at age 59 when others are contemplating retirement. Boyle spent years with the Kitsap Peninsula Visitor and Convention Bureau and believes she's done her homework when it's come to advertising on the other side, as well as all over cyberspace and here at home.
Jim Boyle, at 68 with a long Secret Service career now behind him, is her driver. The couple lives in Suquamish.
Usually by reservation, Jean will match tourists' wishes with what's going on locally, maybe taking them on a "photo safari" around the peninsula, on garden tours, or even picking up a chef, buying local produce and cooking and eating a meal before heading back to the ferry and the city.
There will be trips to Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge, wildlife lookouts, hookups with artists' tours and Native American-themed excursions.
"You know, it hasn't been done. We're just kind of feeling around," she said.
She's aiming for tourists who've come to Seattle from other areas, but who are lured west by the water and mountains. As the Kitsap Tours bus rolls into Poulsbo, Jean treats her riders to a slick video highlighting all the history and happenings that make up Little Norway.
She's hooked up with lots of local businesses, like Northwest Boat Rentals and Adventures of Poulsbo, which will provide electric-boat rides for her customers. Prices in a Kitsap Tours brochure range from $49 to $96 for half-and full-day tours.
The Boyles join Les Bagley in the local bus-the-tourists business. Bagley is now entering his third year with Bainbridge Island Tours and Sightseeing.
Bagley, a Kitsap Transit driver, throws out a sandwich board in front of the terminal pointing tourists over to his small buses. For the next 90 minutes and for a modest fee of $15 to $18, he drives them around the picturesque island. He also takes wedding parties from the terminal to their Kitsap destinations in his fleet of six buses, all marked Agate Pass Transportation, a related business.
Both think there's room for two.
"She's going for the high-end tour groups," Bagley said.
He said business has been slow during the recession, but this season already appears to be picking up a tad.
"There's a market and it's getting better but it's slow," he said.
Like the Boyles, he thinks that tourists getting off the boats have struggled to get around for too long.
"Jean and I both can't begin to scratch the surface," he said.
The Boyles said they hope to break even with Kitsap Tours; Bagley said he's coming close, especially after picking up some shuttle business that Kitsap Transit used to provide for free, like for the island's annual Bainbridge in Bloom and Rotary Club auction.

Steady Rollin' with Bob Margolin
By Chip Eagle
Bob Margolin is one of the Blues World's great guitar players. He is also one of the Blues World's finest writers. His long-running column in Blues Revue is one of the popular features and many readers have told us that his column is the first thing they read. Bob has long talked about writing a book and he has been working on it for nearly as long. New digital technology has made it possible and we are privileged to have arranged to offer you a series of excerpts from that book, Steady Rollin'.
We will begin this week with Bob's full introduction to the book. We are certain that you will want to download the whole thing and information to do that follows the introduction. Please know that BluesWax receives nothing for sales of the Ebook, all proceeds go to the author. We are just proud to share some of it with you. [Editor's Note: Please note that we have attempted to keep these excerpts as close to the original as possible. Please also note that Bob always capitalizes the word "Blues."]
OK, here's my book.
In the 1970s, as a guitar player in Muddy Waters' Blues band, friends I met on the road said I had some good stories. My life gave me plenty to share with them. They often suggested, "You should write a book." When I started writing about Blues-related subjects for local entertainment magazines in North Carolina in 1991 and then started writing for the new Blues Revue magazine in 1993, I heard it more often. I expanded my audience with BluesWax online magazine in 2004.
I enjoy a perk that most writers don't experience: I meet many of my readers at my musical gigs. They ask for a book, too. I hope my music attracts people to my writing, and for readers who never heard my music, my writing might make them curious to hear it. For me it's a natural and compatible marriage of pursuits.
Since I signed on to Facebook in 2009, I use it to post old and new snapshots I took on the road with stories about them. Blues fans enjoy that and often comment, "You should write a book." That's an ironic message to be delivered to my iPhone through an instant electronic disposable social network. I never did publish a "coffee table book" — there was interest from a publisher but no progress. Now, eBooks offer a new way to deliver a book to you conveniently without using trees for paper, gasoline for shipping, and without traditional publishing's compromises and obstacles. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and now the opportunity and technology are right.
I have chosen some of what I consider my best writing from my columns from Blues Revue magazine and BluesWax online, with new introductions to update and put them in perspective. I've tweaked many of them to make them better for you too. I'm offering some photos that I've taken or were given to me since the 1960s, with new comments and stories. And I hope you enjoy my Blues Fiction, which has been previously published mostly in Blues Revue. Blues Fiction is the closest to songwriting and playing music for me, because it combines my experience with my imagination in a story.
I did have one opportunity to "write a book" in the mid-1990s: John Lee Hooker's manager and booking agent, Mike Kappus, founder of the Rosebud agency, asked me about writing an authorized biography of John Lee. He liked my informal writing style that he saw in my Blues Revue story about Muddy Waters (included in this eBook), who had also enjoyed Mike's booking talents. I was deeply complimented, but I could see that the research involved in such a serious writing project would take much time from playing music. My heart told me to favor the guitar, but after many years I finally have a chance to do what folks tell me I "should" do without missing a gig. Most of this book was written on a laptop in vans, planes, or hotel rooms over the last eighteen years.
My aptly named B.S. degree in Public Relations from Boston University is now a 41-year-old virgin because it's never screwed anyone. Though I picked up a few tips in college on how to write clearly, I'm just sharing my thoughts on my musical experiences in a conversational, friendly way. I've been a professional Blues musician since 1972. Back in the 1970s, sometimes I would drag around a Kodak Instamatic with flashcubes or a Polaroid SX-70 instant camera. Here, my photos and a few that were given to me have newly written comments behind them. Decades of hindsight inform the captions.
I try to write as I would talk to a friend who is a music fan rather than journalistically. No doubt some of my writing could be constructed better but an editor might take away my style, tone, and voice while correcting my syntax. Sometimes I use commas, dashes, or three dots to indicate pauses in phrasing, as a musician uses space. I never shy away from writing the word "you" or asking the reader a question, which are frowned upon by editors but not by friends in conversation. Who do you think I'm writing for? And sinfully ending the last sentence with a preposition while this sentence is incomplete! Written or spoken prose can use vernacular, pauses, and rhythm the same way music does and I hope I tell my stories better by using them.
Onstage I try to find a flow of songs that rises and falls in tempo and intensity and try to feel when to set up a song with a story or just shut up and groove for the dancers. For this book I try to use my musical experience as a stage performer and album producer to present my writing, snapshots, and Blues fiction stories in an entertaining, well-paced sequence.
Still, you can browse this book and start anywhere, as with an album of recorded songs and unlike with a novel. Start with a short story at the end if you want. You don't need the context of anything in the beginning of the book, including this introduction.
I choose to focus only on my writing and photos in this eBook. Even my short autobiography highlights here relate only to my professional life. I am blessed with a wonderful family and friends, but they're not in this book.
I hope my book plays to your heart, as music should. It might make you think too, but only if you want to. It's my pleasure to share our love of music and musicians. You certainly can get to know me better from however much you browse or digest. If you would like to make it a conversation, please write to me at email@example.com. I'll try to answer everything you write as much as I humanly can. (09/30/2011)

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:35 PM GMT on November 10, 2006
The Philippines are bracing for the onslaught of their third major typhoon of the past six weeks, as Category 4 Typhoon Chebi bears down on the main island of Luzon. The Philippines have been hit particularly hard this typhoon season. Super Typhoon Cimaron made landfall October 29 as a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 160-180 mph. Cimaron killed at least 15, left 2500 homeless, and destroyed about 8% of the island's rice and corn crop. However, disaster officials called the destruction wrought by Cimaron as "minimal" compared to the destruction of devastating Typhoon Xangsane, which hit Luzon on September 27 as a Category 4 storm. Xangsane killed 218 in the Philippines, did over $100 million in damage, and left tens of thousands homeless. Xangsane went on to deliver a serious blow to Vietnam as a Category 2 typhoon, killing 70.

The amazing thing about all three of these typhoons is that they performed remarkable feats of explosive intensification, deepening from a tropical storm to a Category 4 typhoon in less than 24 hours. It's unusual to see one storm do this in a season, let alone three--and all in the same place! Chebi, which means swallow in Korean, is expected to continue to intensify today into a Super Typhoon with 150 mph winds before making landfall early Saturday morning (Philippines time). The 7am satellite intensity estimate from the NRL Navy website put Chebi's winds at 145 mph, with a central pressure of 916 mb. Chebi is the 18th Category 4 or 5 tropical cyclone to form so far this year globally; the average number of these extreme cyclones is 17 per year.
I'll have an update on Chebi Saturday.
