We need balance to avoid the 'fiscal cliff'
(Page 2 of 3)
Many top-ranking Democrats say that these programs don't add to our deficit. Really? Social Security has added approximately $165 billion to the deficit, and that number is almost certain to grow, with an estimated 3.5 million baby boomers retiring each year.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has called for Democrats to be open to a bipartisan compromise that calls for higher Medicare premiums for the wealthy, an increase in the Medicare eligibility age and slowing cost-of-living increases for Social Security. In return, McConnell said, Republicans would agree to include more tax revenue in a budget deal, though not from higher rates.
At the same time, I urge Republicans to realize that in order to make a deal, save the country from a possible recession and save the middle class from exuberant tax hikes, tax rates for the wealthy must be increased.
Several Congressional Republicans have been catching flak for seeking such a compromise, mainly because of a pledge they may have signed with Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, that they would never vote to increase taxes.
I'll be the first to admit it: Desperate times call for desperate measures, and right now our circumstances are, unfortunately, desperate. We need more revenue, and it's time for the wealthiest Americans to pay more taxes.
Long Island Congressman Peter King admitted that times have changed. He signed such a pledge in 1995 and 1996, when President Clinton sought to raise taxes. "A pledge you signed 20 years ago, 18 years ago is for that Congress," King said. "The world has changed. And the economic situation has changed."
Republicans must be open to discussing tax hikes on the wealthy, and Democrats must be open to entitlement spending reform. I support increasing taxes among millionaires and billionaires, but not Long Island families making $250,000 per year.
I applaud the Republicans who are open to compromise and willing to cross party lines to discuss proposals that will boost our economy.

The King can't beat te other king.
Yes, he can
No it can't, infact in chess the king's aren't allowed within a 1 square radius of each other.
Why not
The King can not move into check, there is a radius of taking one square around the king.
In theory the second any king moved into check, it would be game over as it would get taken.
Kirby's lookin' to get COCKSLAPPED

Good stuff, I really like your tiled floor...it shows a keen eye. I hope we get to see more like this.
Everquest's Befallen, mapped from the Sword and Sorcery sourcebook of the same name, generally in the style of the game itself - I need to double check as to whether the checkered floor actually covers all of it, and maybe add some more fallen rocks/damage. It's probably 90% done.
This is levels 1 and 2, of 3 total.
This is my first "graphic" map. I've done a couple solid color maps for use in GameTable (which determined the dimensions for this one). The full file is a 13 meg jpg, 120 meg psd, so here's just a couple views.

I've gotten a bit more work done on decorating the rooms in here over the past month or so. I'm taking my time with it due to the fact that it's taking the players a long time to play through it, and my attention just doesn't hold long enough on a single project.
Here's a couple of the rooms.
Chances are the dungeon as a whole will never be finished, as its a multilevel dungeon with seperate level ranges, and the players will only be seeing Level "1" right now. But I'm glad I took the time to work on this, gives me some more experience for the future working in photoshop.

By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY
Known and loved for her frank and funny role as upstairs neighbor Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Valerie Harper has revealed she is facing terminal brain cancer.
The actress, 73, tells People magazine (on newsstands Friday) that she got the diagnosis on Jan. 15.
Tests revealed she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition that occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain. Harper tells the magazine she is opting for chemo, but, according to People, her doctors say she may only have three months left to live.
"I don't think of dying," says Harper, who has been married to Tony Cacciotti since 1987. "I think of being here now."
In 2009, Harper, who described herself as "a lifelong non-smoker," was diagnosed with lung cancer, which she beat. But she tells People now, "I'm well past my expiration date already."
Fans immediately jumped on Twitter to send well-wishes her way. Among them:
Hoda Kotb: "I adore you xoxo we all do and are praying for you"
Andy Cohen: "Praying for Valerie Harper. Puts everything in perspective quickly."
Sally Jessy Raphael: "Tragic news about Valerie Harper. She has terminal brain cancer & just 3 months. Sending prayers, love & gratitude for her wonderful work."

After last week's lack of new Hip Hop releases joining the charts, three new Hip Hop releases conquered the Top 200 in the latest rankings.
"SNL" goofballs Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone (as Lonely Island) touched the Top 10 with their third LP, The Wack Album. Kendrick Lamar, Too Short, and T-Pain joined a guest ensemble that also included Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake. The Rap-Comedy album spawned singles such as the Teddy Bend-Her-Ass-assisted "I Fucked My Aunt," grabbing laughs and approximately 28,000 in sales for the Universal Republic mock-trio.
Action Bronson & Harry Fraud also made their introduction to the Top 200. While both artists are no stranger to appearing on high-selling efforts, this was a first to the underground Hip Hop vets. The VICE/Atlantic/Warner Bros. Records-backed Saab Stories sold nearly 8,000 copies in its exclusively digital presentation.
Action and Fraud's homies, Prodigy & Alchemist also made the list with Albert Einstein. The pair's second collaborative album (amidst a 15-year catalog of individual and Mobb Deep songs) was a benchmark for Prodigy's Infamous Recordings label. The indie effort sold just under 3,000 units in its first week at retail.
Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, featuring extensive involvement from Pharrell Williams, remained at #2, and achieved gold-certified status.
Action Bronson & Harry May Have Saab Stories, But No Sob Story
After two previous full-length albums released in 2011, Action Bronson's first major label effort finally earned him a spot on the charts. After signing with VICE magazine's Atlantic/Warner-distributed imprint, the Queens, New York emcee hopped the BQE to team up with longtime associate and Brooklyn native Harry Fraud on the Saab Stories EP. The seven-song effort featured the single, "Strictly 4 My Jeeps," with a jarring Jason Goldwatch-directed video in support of the song.
After both retail and free releases with Tommy Mas, Statik Selektah, Party Supplies, Alchemist and now Fraud, Bronson recently stated plans to make his next work with an array of producers, largely those the 2011 DXnext alum has collaborated with to date.
Prodigy & Alchemist's Albert Einstein Shares An MC2
Longtime collaborators Prodigy and Alchemist followed up 2007's Return Of The Mac with their second joint-album, Albert Einstein. The effort is believed to take its name from both artists' government names, Albert and Alan, respectively. Released on P's own Infamous Recordings, the album displays Alchemist's recent psychedelic influence, as heard on Russian Roulette and Gangrene's Vodka & Ayahausca albums—part of his banner 2012 "Producer Of The Year" takings.
The "Keep It Thoro" tandem invited guests ranging from the aforementioned Bronson to longtime Mobb Deep supporter Raekwon, and of course Havoc on "R.I.P." Alchemist also grabbed the microphone on "Bible Paper." While Return Of The Mac was a Top 40 debut, selling over 30,000 first-week copies six years ago, this self-released effort accomplished 10% of that, coming in at #175. This is Infamous Recordings' first charting release since 2011's Black Cocaine EP, the last project released by Mobb Deep.

Little Rig Man
Lots of little boys like to play with toy trucks, but not many get to drive one of their own.
But then, not many boys have a dad like Randall Witmer. He always made his own toys out of lawnmower parts and other junk lying around his grandparents' place when he was a kid. His young son Jordan loved big rigs and asked his dad to make him a truck. Witmer took on the challenge. He began to construct a truck that is one-third the size of a traditional big rig.
The job turned out to be more complicated than he thought. He hadn't worked out all the details and didn't even have any blueprints for the little rig when he started the construction. Still, Witmer decided to "go all out" and make the truck as close to a real rig as possible.
"I think I redid the hood three times trying to make it right. But everything works on it — the lights, horns and the turn signals. It even has a full-working fifth-wheel plate underneath," Witmer says. "The tailgate has the roll-up door on there too."
He named the tiny truck the Wiplash Express, as a namesake of his brother John's cattle-hauling company. The truck has a Peterbilt-style split windshield, but a Kenworth visor; a Peterbilt grille, but a Kenworth slope. He used MacGyver-like ingenuity to tackle some of the details such as the lights, steps and livestock trailer. Most of the metal for the truck came from the scrap yard, except the lawnmower parts that keep it moving. Witmer fashioned the light sticks out of 3/8-inch stainless steel tubing, while the air cleaner is made of an aluminum heat pipe.
The mini cattle trailer, with its aluminum frame and wood floors, is realistic enough to imagine ponies being hauled in the back. The sides are made out of roof panel with 880 holes that Witmer cut out to scale. The truck took a year and a half to finish. The trailer took another 10 months. The whole thing weighs about 1,760 pounds, has forward and reverse gears, and hits 6 or 7 mph at top speed. It's all been worth the time to Witmer and 12-year-old Jordan.
"It took about 2,500 hours of work to complete it. Jordan likes it, but it might be more of a toy to me than him," says Witmer with a chuckle. "Now, the biggest complaint I get is that there isn't any air conditioning or power steering. But I can fix that."
Once the truck was completed, Witmer and his son started taking it around to trucking shows and events, including the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., and the Truckers Jamboree at the Iowa 80 TA in Walcott, Iowa.
When they attended the Convoy for the Kids, an annual charity event for kids with serious health issues, the reaction was so positive they looked for similar events where the truck could work its magic.
"The truck is just a kid magnet, so we really wanted to do something with it," says Witmer.
This summer, father and son will bring the little rig around to a number of fundraising events for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Witmer has been so pleased with the Wiplash Express that he has taken on another project. He is now at work on a 1980s Peterbilt cabover with a hood that tilts to expose the engine. The kids — and adults — will sure like to see that.

Artical was great but the support from his family helped Randall continue the truck of his Sons dream!I'm glad we can help others in theres as well we apperciate all the warm welcomes everywhere we journey.
This might sound a little crazy,but have you ever thought of a trucking camp for kids who might just want to be a driver when they grow up,just think of the learning exp. and fun and enjoyment a child would get from something like that. it would give them the chance to find out if thats what they would like to do and maybe even put alot more safer drivers on the road. i know iam crazy but it sounded pretty good.
Well your not crazy we have been asked if we would let kids drive for trucking lessons but we are not willing to do so at this time.Little Wiplash is very delicate as I would say and we are not sure if this would be a good idea at this time but you are so right this would be so much fun to do for the kids that are interested in being truck drivers. Thank you so much for your comment we apperciate it. Gail Witmer P.S. Let me talk to my Husband and see what he has to say:)
Pingback: vehicules recreatifs
My 5 year old grandson is obsessed with "18 wheeler cattle trucks" and says he wants to drive one when he grows up. We're in a tough spot this year, for Christmas, because he's said he only wants one thing – a double decker cattle truck/trailer with the slide up doors and dividing doors, etc…. He's got tons of the small trucks and trailers and spends most of his days setting up ranches that cover the entire living room. He's thrilled to ride his horse and help his PawPaw work the cows. This "toy" you've made your son is absolutely the dream for Keaton. Just letting you know there's another kid in this world who would deeply love what you've done and getting to drive it!! We're in Marshall,Texas if you're EVER this way!!

One person was shot in the head, another in the stomach on the streets of Greenville earlier this week.
Greenville police say 20-year-old Darrius Staton of Greenville was shot in the head in front of 1016 Ward St. in Greenville, just before midnight Tuesday. Police say 21-year-old Keyvin Dixon of Bethel was shot in the stomach.
Police describe Dixon's wounds as non-life threatening. However, Staton required immediate surgery at Vidant Medical Center.
Police say the victims and witnesses told police that the driver of a blue car got out of the vehicle in front of 1016 Ward St., spoke to Dixon and Staton briefly, and then fired five to six shots. Several bullets hit the house, police say, where four people were inside. Among them was a four-year-old child. No one in the house was hurt.
A woman who says she is a relative, Donna Staton, says the child was in the back bedroom of the home when the shots were fired.
Witnesses described the suspect as a black male with short dreadlocks, who appears to be either in his late teens or early 20s. He was wearing a white T-shirt.
Anyone with information about this case should call Detective Jeff Baxter of the Major Crimes Unit, 252-329-4389, or CrimeStoppers at 252-758-7777. CrimeStoppers will pay a reward for information that leads to an arrest in this case.
Dispatchers say two people were reported shot just before midnight on Ward St. near Fifth St. in Greenville.
Dispatchers say EMS was sent to treat the victims. We are working to get details on their conditions, along with whether there are any suspects in the case.
Stay tuned for updates on this breaking news.

I'm working on mapping Welstar, one of the 6 worlds of RetroMUD
I started with the in game overworld map (which consists of multiple layers) took screenshots, stretched horizontally to compensate for the non-square characters used, and went to work in Inkscape.
The standard restack script that comes with Inkscape was nowhere near able to deal with over 6000 trees so I had to write my own. It's rather more limited as it operates only on clones within a group, assumes the clone templates are aligned with one another, and only sorts vertically, but it's MUCH faster and doesn't drop everything into the root of the document.
And yes, I'm aware it doesn't look anything like a global map, but that's what the gods have provided.
More progress. I'm pretty much done with with landforms and I've added some colour and a parchment background (Reused from my Portolan chart)
I'm thinking of using escutcheons for most of the cities, castles, temples, etc rather than representational icons or names. Most of them don't have official arms, but if I can't find anything in game to work with, maybe I'll make something up.
Looking good. I have no idea what MUD you are talking about so that's lost on me. The only thing that stood out as odd to me was the strong black line used for all the shorelines. I like the colors, they are different.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

looks pretty good. Imo, the crests and symbol seem too vibrant compared to the rest of the map. Maybe dull the colours on them or something.
Yeah, the colours of the symbols is just temporary while I work out their positions. Once I have it set I'll change them to just the ink outlines and then add the colour back with a more subtle, hand painted look similar to the border.

How To Build Reliable, Powerful, And Inexpensive Voltage Drops, Part II: Transistors - When Less Is MoreWritten by Chris Shelton on May 1, 2011
Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains relatively constant: lights and some motors for example.
Where resistors fall short is with devices whose load varies: radios, gauges, and many electronic items. For those we're going to employ the components that make things like portable radios and computers possible: transistors.
What follows are ways to use three common variants of the transistor. Two are voltage regulators, basically infant versions of the ones in modern alternators. One limits voltage to a fixed output; another requires a touch more preparation and can reduce your car's voltage to any figure as little as 1.25 V. The third transistor is a type of amplifier that boosts any of those regulators' current capacity.
This may sound intimidating if you've never worked with electronics but let us reassure you that what we're about to do is exceedingly easy-the simplest example requires only three wires. Just as the case last month, you can even copy our examples. If there's anything tricky about them it's that they require soldered connections. We won't go there, as that's general information already covered in countless books and online tutorials and videos.
Fixed-Voltage Regulators
The 78-series transistor is hands-down the simplest in the regulator family. The two numbers following the number 78 designate the regulator's output: 05 for 5 V (great for USB ports), 06 for 6 V (great for gauges), and up from there in increments of 07, 08, 09, 10, 12, 15, 20, and even 24. Two exceptions violate this protocol: 7833 is 3.3 V (great for huge arrays of parallel-wired super-bright LEDs) and 7847 is 4.7 V.
As their numbering implies, these regulators' values are fixed, meaning their output remains constant regardless of input voltage, provided the input exceeds the output by a few volts and remains less than 30 or so volts. In some cases these regulators can handle 1 1/2 amps, certainly enough to operate gauges singly and probably in multiples. As a bonus, these regulators shut down if overheated or short circuited.
Adjustable Voltage Regulators
The 78-series regulators are great but can't address any voltage outside their specified range. Regulators in the LM family (LM138, LM317, and LM338, to name a few) can be "tuned" to reduce voltage all the way down to 1.25. Depending on the part number, some can handle as many as 5 amps.
Naturally, a little complexity accompanies this versatility. Two resistors govern the regulators' output. Here's their formula: V = 1.25(1 + [R2 ÷ R1])
The value of any single resistor isn't important but the quotient of the two is. If we set the first resistor's value at 220 ohms and the second at 1,000 ohms the transistor regulates our input voltage to 6.93 V (theoretically, at least; as explained last month resistor values are usually within a range of their specified resistance but not exact). Here's how it looks on paper (remember to start inside the parentheses and work your way outward): 6.16 = 1.25(1 + [2,200 ÷ 560])
Here's the formula again, this time with a 1,000-ohm resistor for R1 and an 82-ohm resistor for R2.
1.35 = 1.25(1 + [82 ÷ 1,000])
Devout traditionalists will understand the significance of that last number: it's the same voltage as the obsolete battery in a Sun tachometer sending unit. Such a voltage reducer lets the sending unit wire directly to the vehicle's electrical system thereby eliminating the pesky battery altogether. And it's small enough to fit in the old battery socket. See the graph elsewhere in this story for other resistor combinations.
We apologize up front for the next part as it's a bit confusing at first. Schematics for adjustable regulators flip the pins around. But it's not random; it's actually the simplest way to show what goes where. Like the fixed-regulator schematic, it reads from left (power in) to right (power out) and from top (positive) to bottom (negative). Here's how it looks:
Complementary Transistor
Regulators typically handle 1 to 5 amps. But some applications, especially heater fans and old tube radios, can draw more than even the most powerful regulator can handle. Technically, you could combine the outputs from several regulators but the following shows a more elegant way.
The following transistor complements the regulator's voltage output, only with a lot more current capacity to back it up. Even the inexpensive 2N3055 from Radio Shack can handle 15 amps. That's enough to run a full deck of gauges and a blower motor at full speed and a tube radio at full song with power to spare. Need more output? One regulator can feed many complementary transistors for amps aplenty.
For simplicity's sake we haven't used the technically correct terms for transistor connection legs but they're sort of required to explain the complementary transistor's operation. The correct term for a transistor's input is the collector. The correct term for the transistor's output is the emitter. Transistors have what's called a base leg, only until now we referred to them as ground or adjust.
These base legs serve as a sort of reference for the regulator, only instead of referencing ground, the base leg in a complementary transistor references the voltage output of the regulator's emitter (output). In other words, instead of driving a device directly with its emitter (output) leg, the regulator drives the base leg of the complementary transistor.
Complementary transistors can mount as close to or as far away from the regulator. That's a good thing as these transistors usually require fairly big heat sinks; their capacity means they can generate lots of heat if asked to drive great current loads (fans and radios, for example). So long as their collectors (inputs) connect to the battery (preferably through an ignition switch), their emitters (outputs) connect to the devices, and their bases connect to the regulator's outputs (emitters), these complementary transistors can operate just about anywhere in a vehicle.
The only potential issue with complementary transistors is that they don't reproduce the regulator's output exactly; they "eat" about 0.7 V. So if you connect a 6V regulator to a complementary transistor, it will emit 5.3 V.
If using an adjustable regulator, tune it to emit roughly 0.7 or more additional V. But remember that we said that you can't alter a fixed-voltage regulator's output? Well we lied; resistance in a fixed regulator's base connection (ground) will fool it into increasing its voltage output. A diode usually reduces output by 0.7 V, so routing a fixed regulator's ground through one will increase its output by the same amount. Slick, eh?
Common Resistor Values And Regulator Voltages
The formula to calculate resistor values to achieve a particular voltage is easy:
That said, not everybody wants to go through the motions. The following values will get you close; however, with one exception, you'll have to calculate your own values to offset the voltage loss when using a complementary resistor:
|Sun tachometer sending unit power
|Most red, orange, yellow, and green LEDs
|Most blue and white LEDs (but verify first)
|USB-powered electronics (MP3 players, phones, etc.)
|6V components (gauges, fans, and radios)
|6V components when using a complementary transistor

Take special note: the adjustable regulator's pin out doesn't match that of the fixed-output regulator. Know this or expect to fry a regulator. When viewed from the printed side and read from left to right the legs represent one (adjuster), two (output), and three (input).The hardest thing about an adjustable regulator isn't the regulator or the resistors; it's its schematic. Just think of the first resistor connecting to the output leg, the second to the ground, and the adjuster leg ties in where the resistors meet each other.A 78-series transistor's case or heat sink can touch the vehicle chassis but not so with the adjustable ones; their cases correspond with the input leg, meaning they're electrically "hot". Use a dedicated heat sink (this one's from Radio Shack) and keep it away from ground. Better yet, isolate the case with an insulator kit.A fixed-output regulator circuit with a complementary transistor isn't necessarily more complex; it just requires some forethought ... and a diode in the regulator's ground leg (the triangle and line). Nearly any diode like will work so long as it can handle the voltage. Just make sure to orient the cathode (stripe side) to the ground.Here's a complementary transistor in a circuit with an adjustable regulator. The voltage-dropping issue still stands, but as explained the regulator's output can be compensated by the resistors.Complementary transistors require considerably larger heat sinks than regulators do. Old car audio amplifier housings and processor heat sinks are perfect. The transistor's case is electrically "hot" but can be isolated from the heat sink by an insulating pad.L-Com's handy panel-mount USB ports are inspiration enough to learn about transistors. They're designed to be full-function ports but we can use just the red (hot) and black (ground) wires to power USB devices. These sockets are waterproof and the company offers them in every USB plug style.

Slovakia : Michelin's recommendations
Slovakia, in the heart of Central Europe, is a land full of promise. Although it is brand new as a State, it has experienced much fortune and misfortune over its thousand-year history, closely linked to that of its neighbouring nations. Part of Hungary for 1,000 years, attached to the Czech Republic for 75 years under Communist rule, it only regained its independence in 1993. Despite long centuries of subordination, Slovaks have not lost their national sentiment. Proud of their natural riches, their architectural and artistic heritage and traditions, they are striving to enhance that legacy, including wooden houses and churches, fortified castles, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings that are inestimable cultural treasures. The country will also captivate you with it diverse landscapes, from the southern plains to the high summits of the Carpathian range stretching out in the north. High and Low Tatras, Great and Little Fatras - so many evocative names for bucolic getaways where you can explore the well-preserved flora and fauna. Their wooded slopes crisscrossed by streams, gashed by gorges and pierced by chasms and caves lend themselves to numerous activities. A multitude of paths run across this Eden which nature-lovers can explore on foot, by bike or on horseback...as well on skis in winter. Although now a member of the European Union and the euro zone, this European cousin will afford you a surprising change of scenery!

|City discusses local airport improvements
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Discussions on the Holyoke Municipal Airport Capital Improvement Plan dominated much of the Tuesday, March 19 Holyoke City Council meeting.
Mike Garcia, representative from Armstrong Consultants, attended the meeting to help clarify some of the upcoming improvements scheduled for the airport. Garcia praised the City of Holyoke for the ongoing maintenance and care provided for the airport while informing board members that Holyoke has risen to the top of the CIP and should have improvements in mind for the money.
Every year, the airport receives $150,000 from the Federal Aviation Administration. Those funds are often split between airports from the same region. This year the money will be transferred to Sterling for a new taxiway and ramp west of the terminal.
In 2014 Holyoke will use the funds, with help from Greeley, Buena Vista and Sterling, to build a partial parallel taxiway that will allow planes to exit the runway and greatly reduce the likelihood of runway incursions.
In 2015 the Holyoke Municipal Airport will construct a building to house the snow removal equipment and will remodel the terminal building to make it ADA compliant. The city may consider combining the two buildings.
Early plans have also been made to install a wildlife/security fence in 2016 and acquire snow removal equipment and fog seal and remark all airport pavement in 2017.
In 2020 the airport will likely see the biggest upgrade as a complete rehabilitation of the runway is scheduled. The purpose of the rehabilitation will be so the runway can support the much heavier jets that frequent the airport.
Animal shelter making progress
Mayor Orville Tonsing signed a service agreement with Holyoke Veterinary Service for the purpose of housing sick dogs at Tuesday's meeting.
According to City Superintendent Mark Brown, the agreement saves the city a lot of money and time because without the help of Holyoke Veterinary Service, an isolated area to quarantine sick animals would have to be added to the building plans and the inspection process would have to start over.
"We're one step closer, so hopefully we don't have too many more steps to go," commented Brown.
City officials report
Brown notified council members that a park well has been redone on Kellogg Street.
Because chlorine was used to disinfect the well during the maintenance, the water quality had been compromised. City workers pumped the water into the street Monday, March 25 to lower the chlorine levels in the water.
Brown also mentioned that there is a scheduled power outage Sunday, April 7 from 1-8 a.m. so Western Area Power Administration can energize a transformer.
At the March 5 meeting Brown informed the council of the problems at the pool with a boiler and a leak in the roof of the boiler room. On Tuesday he updated council members that while the part to fix the boiler is still on the way, he had contacted Wern Air Inc., who installed the boiler, and they have agreed to reimburse the city for the costs of fixing the leak.
Police Chief Doug Bergstrom reported that from Feb. 28-March 13 there were 65 calls for service, one citation, three reports and 11 warnings.
Bergstrom and council member Steve Moore also announced that the search for an applicant to fill the code enforcement position has hit a dead end and they will have to start over.
Moore stated that he anticipates finding someone to fill the spot as a part-time position will be difficult because at the first opportunity for a full-time job, a candidate will likely leave. The council decided to table the topic until the April 2 meeting to discuss the next step in finding a qualified candidate.
City Clerk/treasurer Kathy Olofson informed the board that the library grant to replace some brickwork, a portion of the sidewalk and the carpet on the front porch of the Heginbotham Library is due April 1. The City of Holyoke will be asking for $35,000, approximately 36 percent of the estimated $98,000 from the State Historical Fund to complete the project.
Olofson also announced that Allyn Robinson will be cooking the meal for the 125th celebration. He will be providing the service at cost. She also asked members of the board if they would be open to helping serve the meal, to which many responded with a yes.
Other business
In other business March 19, the city council:
—approved liquor license renewals for The Skillet and Holyoke Golf Club, Inc.
—agreed to pay Barbie Corey of Yuma for travel expenses to teach lifeguard certification classes at the Holyoke swimming pool April 1-3.
—agreed to allow special events permits to the fair board to serve alcohol at the beer garden during the fair July 26-28 and for the beer garden at each of the auto races throughout the summer.
—agreed to a liquor license hearing for Cobblestone Inn and Suites Tuesday, April 16 in the Holyoke Council Chambers at 7 p.m.
—agreed to purchase a transformer from Highline for $77,055.

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Ben Scrivens is about to get more work
in the Los Angeles Kings' crease.
The club confirmed on Wednesday what GM Dean Lombardi revealed on a Toronto-
based radio program, that he expects starting goaltender and 2012 Conn Smythe
Trophy winner Jonathan Quick to be on the sidelines for at least another
Since Quick went down with a Grade 2 groin strain suffered during overtime of
a 3-2 shootout loss in Buffalo on Nov. 12, Scrivens has filled in admirably,
going 4-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, .963 save percentage and back-
to-back shutouts. Included in that run was a scoreless string lasting 191
minutes and 19 seconds.
Having gone 6-0-1 in its last seven games despite additional losses of forward
Jeff Carter to a broken foot and defenseman Matt Greene to an upper-body
injury, Los Angeles is 15-6-1 on the season and currently holds fourth place
in a competitive Pacific Division.

Burn ban could end Monday
GOSHEN — A countywide ban on open burning that went into effect in mid June could come to an end Monday morning.
Elkhart County will likely lift its burn ban next week, but local leaders are urging residents to be patient in the meantime. Elkhart County Board of Commissioners president Terry Rodino said fire officials spoke over the weekend about whether to end the ban since rainstorms recently rolled through northern Indiana, giving much needed relief from the ongoing drought.
"I think that's the consensus right now," Rodino said. "We will probably lift it but with some stern words of wisdom telling people not to think they can just burn everything and to use common sense."
The county's burn ban was originally issued June 15 to reduce the risk of fire hazards. Since then, the ban has been extended three times on June 18, June 25 and June 29.
Concord Fire Chief Scott Maurer said his crew has received about two dozen calls related to complaints about opening burning during the past few weeks. Though the burn ban will probably be canceled Monday, he said people should continue to use common sense when setting fire to debris.
As of Saturday evening, 74 Indiana counties were still under a burn ban. Four of Elkhart County's neighbors — St. Joseph, Marshall, LaGrange and Noble counties — have lifted their bans.

This a map of the Kingdom of Rengar from my untitled WIP. It's still a pretty sparse map.
The geography is based on part of the island of Sumatra. The land is covered with jungles. Towns are pretty isolated and travel is primarily by water and a few roads.
Note the river the in south doesn't split. It empties into a bay dominated by a large island like the Marajó at the mouth of the Amazon. In the next draft I'll shrink the island to make this clearer.

What is the best bugle tube for use with diaphragm calls? Packability is a concern.
Just trying to kill some time indoors and like talking elk.
What is the best bugle tube for use with diaphragm calls? Packability is a concern.
Bugle tubes are tough call for me. Depending on where I hunt I have a couple different methods.
Populated areas (combat calling): When I'm in a place where I know there have been, or are, other people calling the bulls I always pack a couple different bugles. I keep a Primos Pack Bugle and my Rockie Jakeobson Monarch bugle handy. The Primos call is nice and packable and easy to use in a hurry, the Rockie Jakeobson call is much less common around here, and makes a sound different enough that educated bulls don't know it. I've never seen another Monarch bugle on another hunter in the bush, and I've never had a bull ignore it. Even in high pressure areas
Backcountry (ever ounce counts): Here I go with the tube from my Primos Pack bugle. Nice and compressible and easy to bend to change sounds. I take off the blue reed head on the call and use my diaphragm calls to bugle. This keeps the weight down, and the variability of sounds I can make up.
I carry a number of different diaphragms from a few different companies. Rockie Jakeobson, Primos, Bush-in-Bush, and others. I like the single and double reed calls. I have some triple reed calls but I've never had good luck with them. The Rockie Jakeobson single reed call, the Primos mini double reed are my go to calls right now.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
Best tube money can buy by far is the "Bully Bull" tube, by Bugling Bull game calls (AKA Rocky Jacobsen's). Its quite a bit bigger than any other tubes on the market and sucks to carry, but......It will set you apart from the "Terminator crowd" and bulls will respond, totally worth the extra effort. Rocky also makes a variety of reeds, and is the inventor of the "pallet late" style reeds in which Primos bought rights to produce them. The reeds I love are; "The Remedy", and "Raging Bull". Both will scream really loud, and make the sweetest cow calls. His newest edition in reeds is the "All Star", which is a "dome style reed that actually works awesome, unlike some of the others on the market. Just my 2cents.
Thanks guys I appreciate the responses. I will have to do some experimenting. Might be time to hang up the old chunk of corrugated tubing. We will have to see!!!
I recently picked up an Elknut Chuckler tube, and I'm really liking the tones I'm getting out of it.
Has anybody tried the new mossback bugle tubes?
A guy I hunt with had the mossback last year. It was the one that has two tubes. It seemed to work very well, he loves it. However he is by far the best Hunter I have ever known. He is about 70 and can call anything in, It is a blast to watch. I am not very good at calling, the Primos pack bugle works for me. I have called a few nice bulls in but I have a lot of leaning to do. I hope my friend sticks with hunting for a lot longer I have a ton of tricks I want him to teach me.
BTW I love the handle
"goatpoop" lmao
+2 on the Elknut Chuckler. However, the bugler dictates the bugles song. Just about any tube will suffice so long as the caller is competant, comfortable, and confident

JONESBORO, Ark. (A-State) - Arkansas State sophomore tight end Darion Griswold has been named a national Honorable Mention Tight End of the Week and sophomore wide receiver J.D. McKissic the National Kickoff Returner of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) for their efforts in the Red Wolves' 48-24 victory over Idaho.
Griswold (Dumas, Ark.) recorded the first two touchdowns of his career while also becoming the first A-State player to haul in multiple scoring passes in a game since former wide receiver Taylor Stockemer also caught two against Louisiana-Lafayette on Nov. 12, 2011. Griswold tied his career high for receptions with five, which covered a career-high 89 yards. Griswold earned weekly honorable mention honors at the tight end position from the CFPA for the second time this season, also being recognized on Sept. 12.
McKissic (Phenix City, Ala.)?posted a career-high 125 kickoff return yards, including a 98-yard return for a touchdown, and a career-best 48 punt return yards in the victory. His 98-yard return, which tied the third longest in Arkansas State history, came at a crucial point in the game as Idaho had scored 17 unanswered points to pull within 31-24 early in the fourth quarter.
The return began a 17-0 scoring outburst by the Red Wolves to end the game. It marked the first kickoff return for a touchdown by an A-State player since the 2001 season. McKissic, who finished with a career-high 261 all-purpose yards, averaged 62.5 yards per kickoff return and 9.6 per punt return. His 125 kickoff return yards were the most by an A-State player since the 2010 season.
McKissic joined Griswold, senior kicker Brian Davis, senior defensive lineman Amos Draper, senior wide receiver Allen Muse and sophomore running back Michael Gordon as A-State players to receive a weekly honor from the CFPA this year.

Great Caesar's ghost, it looks like Superman has met his match.
Lex Luthor couldn't do it, General Zod couldn't do it (OK, Doomsday sort of did it), but one of the workforce's greatest supervillians—the dastardly Disillusionment—did in the Man of Steel.
As you may have heard, Clark Kent, Superman's alter ego, tendered his resignation in Superman issue 13, as USA Today first reported. Kent, who covered the Superman beat as a reporter at the Daily Planet for 70-plus years (or five in comic book years), became tired of his boss, Perry White, laying into him.
He also became disillusioned with the direction the news world is headed where the sensational trumps the informational. In an email, a DC Comics spokesman told me: "After a heated discussion with Morgan Edge (the owner of the Daily Planet's parent company, Galaxy Broadcasting), [Kent] leaves his position as a reporter at The Daily Planet. This is the beginning of a multifaceted storyline that will challenge Clark on all levels—personally and professionally, as both himself and as Superman."
But these challenges are not surprising. Anyone who has followed the job market over the past five years or so already knows about the problems workers face. Figuratively more powerful than a locomotive, disillusionment can make employees feel defeated.
Ironically, workers are feeling beaten down by the "super man" or "super woman" requirements put on today's workforce. When someone leaves a job, there's no rush to fill it, or the position becomes zapped by another workforce archnemesis: Attrition.
Hey, there's already someone on staff who can pick up the slack, right? And salaries have stagnated. With unemployment numbers still high, why pay more when people should feel lucky just to have a job? One researcher recently suggested that 3 percent is the new normal for pay increases. That's just 1 percentage point more than the U.S. Consumer Price Index, which measures price increases for goods and services.
With pensions all but dried up and workers having to fend for themselves for retirement savings with 401(k)s, it's no wonder Disillusionment has reaped a path of devastation, and it has brought mere mortals and Krypton's favorite son to their knees.
The difference between Superman—er, Clark Kent—and the typical worker is that the Man of Steel can pull a "You can't fire me because I quit" because he doesn't have the same concerns that regular people do. The guy re-energizes from the sun not from Sun Chips, so his grocery list is just for show.
He also has a really, really cool, OK cold, place in the North Pole that doesn't cost anything. His Clark Kent pad? OK, well, that's another story. Not surprisingly, Kent is looking for more independence as he considers becoming a blogger to pay his bills. There's money in that, right?
Kent's world, much like our world, is changing. In journalism, the changes are obvious. As White, the Daily Planet's publisher, says in the issue, "Print is a dying medium … and God help me if a front-page story about some reality star gets them to pick up a paper." But it isn't only journalism that has changed; it's the workplace in general.
Companies have shied away from the paternal approach that encompassed the workplace of the '50s, '60s and '70s as if it were Kryptonite. Today, many companies seem to believe that a fresh start means paring workers rather than looking for ways to utilize employees to their full potential, whether it's through training them on new skills or giving them more responsibilities with more pay. Many workers would consider jumping ship if the opportunity presented itself, and many have essentially been typecast into their current job roles because of the recession as promotions have been limited.
Today, people in human resources are sometimes portrayed as the "bad guys," but it doesn't have to be that way. Today's workforce needs more heroes, not villains. With more HR people grabbing a seat at the table, perhaps more than ever, the time has come for the citizens of HR to be true champions and use their powers to help workers defeat Disillusionment and pump up worker ally Engagement. That, in turn, will help companies to succeed and the economy to grow.
Up, up and away.

Nice hit.
Cold bore with an 18 mph wind? Impressive.
I thought the video was good, could use some music, though.
Impressive! That .338 Lapua is a pretty awesome rifle!
Thanks guys. It was actually the second hit. I still hit on the first try but my buddy flinched with the camera on the first one. It didn't make for good video. I have some music in mind that I'd like to use but I'm not sure on the legality of stuff yet. Guess I could still use the generic songs.
By the way Bitterroot, I digiscoped the bull in the intro with your advice!
I like that footage of the bull E307, looks like it turned out great, and a nice bull to boot.
What setup did you end up with?
I already had a video camera so I just ordered an adapter through Tines Up. I had never heard of TU until you told me about them though. I'm also using a Razor. I'd like to upgrade to a better camera someday but it probably won't happen any time soon.
An inexpensive Canon ELPH 4x camera (one with HD video) with a Zeikos universal adapter threaded to your tines up adapter (if yours is the 37mm model) should get you some awesome vignetting-free video for a relatively modest investment.
Nice video! And great shot too

Rated 4 out of 5�by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jenruns Very comfortable Comfy and easy to use. Does not bounce or move around. Stats put! November 10, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by trailrunner Quality gear Ordered my waist size but was too large. I had to recorder a size smaller. I ordered a medium but slipped on hips. I went to the belt that had one size fits all and was self adjusting . I do a lot of trail running and the product does well. June 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Ryeguy Nathan Speed 2 This is a great hydration belt that I have used for 7 years. This is great for holding some water without too much weight, plus keys, money, id... After 5 years of use, one bottle formed a split but ordering new bottles was easy and relatively inexpensive. May 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bradzo6 Good for 10-15 mile training runs This is a good product. The pros are the two compartment rear storage compartment and the 10oz bottles, making it a good choice for 10-15 mile training runs. The cons? I am not impressed with the front pocket; its small and not roomy enough for anything other than salt tabs--why not have something a bit larger for Sport Beans or a couple of gels? The overall quality is good. Make sure you get a snug fit to ensure no bouncing of bottles during your run. August 17, 2013

Attorney General Gansler appreciates your invitation to meet with the residents, property owners and family members of the Sandy Spring Farm Rd. community concerning past issues and the current status. He sympathizes with their plight and has been hopeful that recent actions by the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission would have finally put the central issues to rest, resulting in a positive outcome for all.
As you may know, the Office of the Attorney General has no statutory authority over the MNCPPC and it would not be appropriate to interfere in a process that, we understand from published reports, holds great promise to accomplish what your father and the other property owners seek. We also understand from published reports that outside counsel has been retained by the MNCPPC to find out exactly what happened at the MNCPPC in relation to this matter over a decade ago and since. With the hope that these most recent efforts may resolve these issues quickly, it would not serve the best interests of the property owners to have such a discussion at this time.
After reviewing your letter, I found some of the points made about the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to be mistaken or inaccurate. That is understandable, given the misinformation that has found its way into some news reports.
So you may better understand, the OAG conducted a preliminary review of issues concerning a property in Ashton that were brought to this office by a property owner and others more than six years ago. During the course of this review it was mentioned that there may have been related issues that were said to have impacted several other properties. However, the review of the Ashton property issues was the focus, as per the insistence of the property owner. That review was eventually completed and the property owner was informed that there was insufficient evidence and statutory authority for this office to proceed. The property owner had also been informed that there are professional boards at a state agency with such authority and with whom one could file complaints. We understand that this course of action was pursued with some success and that the Inspector General of Montgomery County also pursued similar complaints related to the Ashton property with at least one of these same professional boards.

SANDY SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- There was bitterness outside the funeral for 92-year-old Robert Awkard Wednesday as friends and family said the descendant of freed slaves died before seeing justice in a case they believe denied Awkard and others in this historic African American community their property rights.
"It was a tragedy that he died without justice," said Judy Penny who had been helping her elderly aunt, Awkard and others battle the Montgomery County Planning Board and the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission over the existence of an historic property access called Farm Road.
Awkard was among a group of at least 8 African American property owners who believe the approval of an allegedly dirty development application more than a decade ago allowed developers to build a subdivision directly on top of Farm Road, cutting off access to land that was settled by freed slaves and passed down through generations to their families.
The access dispute has rendered the families' properties virtually worthless, as upscale subdivisions have sprouted all around them, the owners say.
Awkard died Thursday after a long illness.
Parts of the road connecting to a public street still exist, but Montgomery's Planning Board continues to refuse to recognize it as a permanent legal access, despite announcing in July they would issue addresses to the landowners after being pressured by Maryland's Legislative Black Caucus.
Hearings were called after WUSA9's reporting on the issue.
Due to illness Awkard gave testimony on an emotion-provoking video posted to YouTube before he died. "I just hope that I can see it open while I am living," he gasped.
Lawsuits by landowners have not been successful. An appeal is now pending at Maryland's Court of Appeals.
Even so, the Montgomery County Planning Board has appointed and independent counsel to investigate 2007 claims by a former County Council legislative aide that documents submitted during the development approval process were "intentionally misleading."
The claims were made in one of the lawsuits that was dismissed.
State tax records show Farm Road on official maps as far back as the 1890's and it is referenced on the deeds of at least 20 properties. But after the approval of the nearby Dellabrooke subdivision, maps were amended to erase the road, and planning officials refused to grant landowners addresses claiming they could not prove access to a public road.
In October, Montgomery County's Planning Board objected to a state proposal to put the road back on its tax map despite its decision to issue addresses.
In a letter to state officials the Planning Board's top lawyer wrote that the decision "...specifically did not recognize the existence of Farm Road."
Instead, the Planning Board says it is relying on an agreement by landowners granting permission to cross each other's land.
Meanwhile, the property owners are demanding a meeting with Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler, who is a candidate for governor. Gansler's office has been accused of dropping an investigation into the Farm Road matter, a charge he strongly denies.
In email Wednesday, Gansler said a meeting with property owners would inappropriately interfere with the local land use process and would not be in the best interest of landowners.

As expected Spike TV will broadcast a dozen "UFC Prelims" broadcasts, which are one-hour preliminary-card specials that precede pay-per-view airings, this year.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported their return this past week, and Spike TV executives today made it official.
As expected, the first special of the year will be held in conjunction with next month's "UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort" event.
The Feb. 5 broadcast features lightweights Donald Cerrone (13-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Paul Kelly (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) and featherweights Chad Mendes (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Michihiro Omigawa (12-8-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. UFC 126 marks the UFC debuts of former WEC fighters Cerrone and Mendes. Omigawa, who recently competed for the WEC, returns to the UFC for the first time since his initial two-fight stint concluded in 2008.
The UFC first offered a PPV teaser broadcast for UFC 103 in 2009, when the UFC went head-to-head with a boxing PPV broadcast featuring Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez. The specials proved effective enough at generating last-minute PPV buys that officials from the UFC and the organization's longtime cable partner decided to make them a regular offering.
The specials consistently draw between 1.1 million and 1.7 million viewers per event on Spike TV.
In recent months, Spike TV hasn't been the only home to preliminary-card broadcasts. UFC.com streamed fights from UFC 124, ION Television carried UFC 125 prelims, and this past week with UFC Fight Night 23, Facebook streamed a live sports event for the first time with the UFC's four-fight preliminary-card lineup.
Despite the 2011 broadcasts, a source told MMAjunkie.com the UFC and Spike TV haven't finalized a contract renewal, which is needed for 2012 and beyond.
The latest UFC 126 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title)
- Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin
- Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha
- Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones
- Antonio Banuelos vs. Miguel Torres
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Paul Kelly vs. Donald Cerrone
- Chad Mendes vs. Michihiro Omigawa
PRELIMINARY CARD (Untelevised)
- Gabe Ruediger vs. Paul Taylor
- Demetrious Johnson vs. Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto
- Kyle Kingsbury vs. Ricardo Romero
- Mike Pierce vs. Kenny Robertson

Comments about Fault Line Big & Tall:
Comfy sandals with a cushy footbed and really soft strapping. They fit my narrow, flipper feet really well, but I had to go one size up because they run a little short. They don't have a lot of lateral support, and I worry that they would get slippery when wet, but those are minor gripes.

I now have the local's wanting info on my dig's, so much so, I feel like a pack mule when I return to work. Instantaneously satisfied with Sanuk, say it correctly!

I'm not a sandal person in general, but with the hot weather I wanted my feet to breathe. I've also never really had a decent pair of sandals that's convinced me to wear it the whole day. I got these from Venice Beach, and after already walking over a mile, I slipped these on and ended up walking 6 more miles in pure comfort and durability. My cousins have described Sanuks like walking on a cloud, and by far this is the closest thing to it.The U outsole fit my feet like a glove but as cushy as memory foam. Now I'm finding any reason to walk in them.

Call me Nurse Muskels
Moral of the story:
When nauseated, start by taking one PILL of gravol, not one BOTTLE.
Strength training has benefits beyond being a tool to be really really ridiculously good looking!

Hahah, nicely done! You got off lucky though, not toasting your back in the process. =)
Best piece of advice from my (hero) nursing instructor: when offered an extra shift tell them you'll call them back, go into the bathroom, look in the mirror and say to yourself, "do I really want to do this shift?"
If you can look yourself in the eye and say, "YES" then take it.

Very very impressive Maha. If this had happened to me as a med student, I'm sure I would have a) failed to catch him, and then b) been yelled at for not getting out of the way when I was found pinned under him.

It sounds like it is safer to assume every patient is an idiot and tell them that it is unsafe to take more than the dosage prescribed. Although I guess someone as dumb as that guy probably wouldn't listen anyway.

Candice Michelle pregnant
When Candice Michelle decided to walk away from a career in WWE and focus on building a family, she was not kidding. Through social media, she has revealed to her fans that she is now pregnant once again. Candice also revealed that the sex of the baby is female, which means that she would have three daughters in total soon. Her expected due date as of right now is some time in July. A return to wrestling has been completely ruled out.

Its good to see another hand-drawn entry, Del and a nice one at that!
I agree your "scrawl" kind of jars with the map. One suggestion would be to use light pencil guidelines, have some caligraphic or other letter style to reference, and take your time to hand draw your lettering with the same patience you have with the rest of your map. Do this on a separate sheet of paper.
Erase the pencil lines, scan them in, then rescale to fit and digitally place them on your map - as if they were hand-drawn on the same original scan at the same time.
I seriously considered to hand created text, but when I came up with the idea to use the slanted descriptive text, I thought - whoa that makes for lots of writing. So I chose to go digital.
You have few enough labels, that you could do it all by hand.
Something to consider, anyway.
PS: oh, the challenge requires north to point a specific direction. Turning your map on its side works for me, but I think you still need a compass rose with north pointing about 2:00 - just to qualify with the challenge rules.

Reason being, it clears the AC line. Meaning, Whiteline designed this specific strut bar to fit WRX/STi without modifing/moving the AC line too much. It is also adjustable in several places, unlike other rigid strut-bars I've tried. When you have it adjusted in a way you like, just tighten the bolts and take her for a test drive. I can now take turns with a little more confidence as the strut bar keeps the car flat in turns. For best results, install front and rear strut bar.

Hey Fellas,
I am setting up Funambol server on the same box where Zimbra [zcs 7.1] in set up and have deployed client as suggested in Wiki. Everything went smoothly except the last few lines specified in Wiki i.e
"On the phone side simply add a new synchronization profile if you phone supports SyncML by default. The server setting should be the funambol URI which should be in the format http://<hostname>:8080/funambol/ds"
What does that mean do I need to download SyncML client on my HTC or is there any other application or setting available in HTC while configuring a mail box?
Please advise
