District Resident Lucy Stewart Speller is Celebrated at 109
Family and friends gathered at the home of Lucy B. Stewart Speller on Aug. 4 to honor her and celebrate her 109th birthday.
She is known as "Aunt," and "Sister," to many because she and her husband, Wesley Speller, despite having no biological children of their own, were parents to many young people who grew up to achieve success. Speller's loved ones-friends and relatives-have benefited from her wisdom, advice and suggestions, even when her opinion wasn't solicited.
Born in 1904, Speller is a longtime member of Calvary Episcopal Church in Northeast Washington. There, she demonstrated her love for her church and children when she took them to Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, where she was a faithful teacher for years.
Speller's greatest expression of love and dedication was shown when she provided health care for her mother, "Ma" Stewart, as she was affectionately known. Stewart was bedridden for more than 10 years. Speller spent many nights providing this care.
For many years, relatives and friends began arriving at the Speller home on Aug. 4 without invitation to celebrate Speller's birthday. It was like a reunion.
"The party is viewed as a time to celebrate the beauty of one who was kind, generous, devoted and compassionate and always a lady," said a close family friend.
Speller has "touched many lives and has contributed so much to those she loves," the friend said.

The new IT director at the Jeffco Public Library hopes to expand the reach of digital materials and services.
Pat Klein, who officially takes over the information technology department this week, is excited to help his own community after working for the city of Denver's IT department for the past 15 years. Klein is a resident of Golden.
The Jeffco Public Library is planning to ask county residents for a property-tax increase in the fall.
The library board voted at its May meeting to put a tax increase on the November ballot but did not decide on the exact amount, said library spokeswoman Rebecca Winning. Winning said that, as of now, the board is considering a 1-mill increase.
"They haven't decided because we're waiting to see where the assessed valuations come in, because we don't want to ask for more money than we need," Winning said.
The Littleton City Council amended its new construction-defects ordinance June 2 to allow for a cash-settlement option between homeowners and builders as an alternative to pursuing repairs.
The original ordinance, approved May 5, gives builders of condos, townhomes and other multifamily housing a "right to repair" faulty work before facing legal action. Also, it requires that a majority of homeowners approve legal action — not just a majority of HOA board members.
An attorney with experience in public administration has been selected to fill a vacant seat on the Foothills Park and Recreation District board.
Lori Bosanko was selected by the Foothills board June 2 to complete the term of Terri Maulik, who represented Ward 5. Maulik resigned from the board in May after moving to Parker with her family.
Jefferson County wants to streamline the process for changing the annual fee to license a pet — even though no fee adjustment is currently on the table.
The change would move pet licensing from the realm of county ordinance to simple policy — eliminating the months-long process now needed to increase or decrease the fee. The proposed change will be considered at a public hearing June 23 before the county commissioners.
Littleton finds itself on two top-10 lists: for safety and for prospects for young professionals.
Littleton was ranked as the ninth-safest city in Colorado and the ninth best place for millennial job-seekers in the state.
"We've been recognized as being an attractive place for millennials to work and for being a safe community," said city spokeswoman Kelli Narde. "It's been a good week."
An amendment to Littleton's new construction-defects ordinance providing for a cash-settlement option instead of repairs is set for a public hearing and vote at the June 2 City Council meeting.
The new ordinance, approved May 5, gives builders of condos, townhomes and other multifamily housing a "right to repair" faulty work before facing legal action. Also, it requires that a majority of homeowners approve legal action — not just a majority of HOA board members.
The Jeffco teachers union and the school district hit a rough patch in contract negotiations last Thursday when the sides failed to agree on a plan for how much the district should pay teachers hired for the fall, according to a pool report.
An information sheet sent to members of the Jeffco teachers union discusses the possibility of a strike, but a union spokesman said efforts are still focused on collaborating with the school district.
The latest version of an ordinance governing retail sidewalk displays in downtown Littleton would increase from three to eight the number of days each month a business could display merchandise outside.
At a May 12 study session, a majority of City Council members requested that staff overhaul the controversial restrictions placed on sidewalk displays last May. The latest rules also would decrease the maximum size of the displays, standardize how merchandise can be displayed, and charge a fee for the required permit.

Millet Myo Velcro
Out of the box, the Myo (billed as an "expert slipper") looks like a high-end shoe. Stiff, downturned, with a talon-sharp toe, I expected them to edge fiendishly and hurt like the dickens. For about a month, the Myo delivered on both counts. Slowly, however, they started to feel more comfortable. Unfortunately, even as my feet were relieved, the performance suffered. The mid sole softened. The downturn straightened. The heel became baggy. They still performed reasonably well, but soon I was wearing the Myo for warm-ups and pulling out another shoe for the biz.
The Myo features a sole that has been sculpted with a laser. A pattern of grooves is etched into the rubber. Millet claims that this micro grooving facilitates mechanical deformation of the rubber and enhances stickiness. This might be true, but the etching is too far from the edge of the boot and only comes into play when you're standing on wide holds or big smears. The etching needs to be brought toward the front of the boot where climbers stand.
On the upside, the Myo is comfortable and works great to 5.11. I'd choose the Myo for days of mileage on routes or boulders, or for multi pitch climbs where it pays to have an easy-on/off shoe at belays. But for projects it lacked the precision I've come to rely on.
-Composite mid sole.
-Synthetic upper with lined toe box.
-Easy triple Velcro closure.
-4PointsGrip sticky rubber.
-Sizes: 4–13.5.
-Millet Hook Effect laser-grooved sole.
Millet's laser-grooved rubber isn't the first instance of a designer fiddling with the sole of a climbing boot in hopes of making it perform better. Climber and inventor Greg Lowe told Rock and Ice that he once had the idea that impregnating a rubber sole with wire bristles might make it stick better to slabs. He went as far as making and testing a prototype. Unfortunately for those that struggle with slabs, the shoes, according to Lowe, made climbing too easy and he scrapped the idea.

"This modality allows us to target the precise blood vessel blockage responsible for a patient's stroke, much as cardiologists do in the heart," says Dr. Isaac Silverman, MD, neurologist and co-medical director of The Stroke Center.
"Advantages over IV t-PA are that the catheter or another device can mechanically disrupt and fragment the clot and delivers doses of t-PA to the clot which are much lower, presumably lowering the risk for life-threatening bleeding in the brain. Most importantly, the longer time window for IA therapy enables us to treat more of our patients."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Auburn University said Tuesday that its study shows the tar that hit Alabama beaches earlier this month appeared relatively fresh and unchanged from when oil first poured into the Gulf during the spill.
The study concludes that mats of oil are still submerged on the seabed, and it says the material could pose a long-term threat to coastal ecosystems.
BP isn't commenting on the study. The company is cleaning the beaches.

In 2003 I created City Walks for Palm handhelds. The maps were of parts of town that I found interesting and each clickable map object displayed associated data. This year I ported the code to Flex/Actionscript to use as part of an online portfolio for finding a new programming gig. Along the way I've added the ability for each map object to display either a photo set, a video, or an audio track.
To make building these tours easier (I'd been building them by hand) I created City Walks Composer. It's built with Adobe AIR 2.0, so it works under Windows, Linux, and MacOS. All you need is a startup image (it's displayed while the map bits are loaded), a map image, and the associated data and media (.jpg, .flv, or .mp3) for each map object. You add an icon for each map object, fill in the information, and compile the project. The finished project is shown in a browser via a pre-compiled .swf (the engine); the project can either be shown on a local machine or uploaded to a web server.
And none of this requires any programming, database, or HTML knowledge; there's even a basic webpage included that can be customized in a simple text editor.
The software is free and the web page is http://cubicboundaries.com. You'll need to install the free Adobe AIR runtime and the City Walks Composer binary is available from the Adobe AIR Marketplace--I've got links to those at the bottom of the page. There are five working tours to see, so you can get an idea of what the software does. Also, there is an illustrated user manual and tutorials for creating the photo, video, and audio assets.
What I'd really like is feedback--what doesn't work, what needs changing, what might be missing. I've built this project for my own needs but I'd like to create something that other people might find useful.

Andy Samberg's comedy rap group The Lonely Island is getting the big screen treatment with its own musical comedy.
The funnyman and his bandmates, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, will star in an untitled film set in the music world.
Director/writer Judd Apatow will produce the film alongside Samberg, while Schaffer and Taccone will co-direct the project.
The Lonely Island first garnered acclaim for their viral video digital shorts featured on "Saturday Night Live," collaborating with top artists such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Adam Levine, which even earned them a Grammy nomination and Emmy Award in 2007 for their song "D*** in a Box" with Justin Timberlake.
The trio also worked on the 2007 comedy "Hot Rod," which starred Samberg and Taccone and was directed by Schaffer.

Those of us who have been around for a while have come a long way with our receivers and their software. It seems, from my clueless experience, that the software has taken several steps backwards recently. I would be most pleased if those clued in would acknowledge (right) and fix these problems ASAP.

Cockering Road,
This beautiful ancient 45 hectare woodland was given to the City Council in 1932 by the then Lord Mayor of Canterbury, Alderman Frank Hooker in order that it should be reserved to the Public forever. Larkey Valley Wood is now a Nationally Important SSSI and is looked after in partnership with Kent Wildlife Trust. In 2007 this woodland became accredited with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council certification) status showing that the woodland is managed to sustainable and best practice standards.
From October to March each year, anyone can volunteer to take part in the coppicing activity that takes place through much of the woodland. This is a traditional system by which trees are cut close to the ground so that new shoots can grow from the base. This allows increased light into parts of the woodland so that a wide range of plants, insects, birds and mammals can thrive.
Larkey Valley Wood has spectacular displays of wildflowers from March to May,including many species of orchid. Regular monitoring of the wood has shown that this is one of the best in the country for dormice. In 2008, the Kentish Stour Countryside Project installed new waymarkers at the woodland, providing three new signed walkways for visitors. New information boards have also been installed in the car park and at the pedestrian entrance off Cockering Road.
Free entry
Larkey Valley Wood is located less than 4km from the centre of Canterbury on the Cockering Road.
From the A28 Ashford Road/Thanington Road join Stranger's Lane opposite St Nicholas' Church. At the end of Stranger's Lane turn right along the Cockering Road for 0.7miles (1.14km) until you reach the woodland car park situated on the left of the road.

ROM Strap
The ROM Strap is a simple accessory to increase a swimmer's range of motion through stretching. The easy to use ROM Strap can be utilized for numerous stretching positions targeting various muscle groups including the arms, shoulders, shoulder blades, upper torso and ribs. Increasing range of motion not only loosens tight muscles, but provides a better streamlining and body roll, along with increased power. The ROM Strap passively restrains the hand which allows for safe pulling and stretching without contracting the hand, forearm or upper arm muscles.
Target Swimming Muscles
Stretch sheet muscles around the shoulder blade, neck, back and rib cage
Increase Range of Motion
Stretching facilitates easier streamlining, better body roll and increased power
Improve Flexibility
Less internal muscle resistance makes all upper body swim movements easier
Do stretching exercises safely without risk of damage to shoulder
Passively Retains the Hand
Hand-wrist strap makes it much easier to relax the muscles you want to stretch

1969 Plymouth Satellite Goodmark Grille UpgradeWritten by on September 1, 2005 Goodmark's Repop Road Runner Grille Makes It Easy
It's tough to get a classic Mopar body in shape, working out the wrinkles that inevitably appear on the surface after three-plus decades. Dressing out a restored body can be even more difficult since the required jewelry is getting tougher and tougher to find. Finding things like grilles specific to a particular model and year can represent one of the toughest areas of a restoration, and with the lack of parts, can become a restoration project all its own. Even if the required piece is located, it is nearly certain that a heap of lovin' on that piece is going to be needed before it is worthy of the project.
Our task recently has been a fairly major rebuilding of a '69 Plymouth Satellite. No, it may not be a super-rare Hemi Road Runner or GTX, but even a once lowly 318 Satellite hardtop is now a highly desirable Mopar. The machine is being built into a custom street bruiser, unconstrained by any requirements for originality. One requirement we had was the need to recreate the look of a freshly built machine throughout. We were more than a little excited to discover that Goodmark offers a complete reproduction metal grille for this application, as well as the hard-to-find and often damaged headlamp bezels. No need to scour the swap meets, swim with the sharks online, or pay-up and wait while the original piece is professionally restored. The Goodmark components would allow us to open the box on a nice-as-new look at a reasonable cost.
Goodmark offers the grille as a complete kit with the center grille and required bezels, or the components are available separately. These grilles are manufactured from aluminum that is highly polished and bright anodized, as were the originals. The components come finished in the OEM paint scheme of argent and black accents, and are ready to bolt-on. When we considered the down time when hunting replacement parts, or the shop time and project delays of reworking what remained of our stock pieces, the availability of a replacement was really appreciated and time effective.
Bolting the new bright-work to the nose of our Satellite was one of those satisfying tasks that make auto restoration such a rewarding pastime. We just opened the box, inspected the components, and bolted on a brand-new look. To make the installation easier, we sought out all new hardware for the installation. Rather than pick up some nuts and bolts and woodscrews from the local builders depot, we went on the prowl for OEM replacement fasteners and clips for an authentic look. While not technically a part of the grille installation, on our list was a headlamp hardware kit, including new adjusters and springs. We found what we were looking for with a telephone call to R/T Specialties for a grille installation hardware kit. R/T specializes in hard-to-find screws, clips, and other OEM-style fasteners, but the variety of resto parts they offer goes much deeper. R/T hooked us with a complete '69 grille hardware kit.
With the required parts on hand, beauty was only a few hours away. Goodmark is known for its commitment to quality and fit, and the new grille didn't disappoint, filling the allotted space with perfect form. were we satisfied with the product? You bet!

Speaking of new hardware, we sourced R/T Specialties for a headlamp hardware kit for a factory fresh look up front. These hard-to-find pieces are available in kit form for most popular Mopar applications.Just as we were preparing for the installation of our new goodies, we noticed a damaged headlamp mounting bucket at the outer right location. We briefly considered the alternatives, and then decided to pop the spot-welds and remove the bucket for repair.The problem was a butchered outer headlamp adjuster mounting point that had been hacked where the stock adjuster clip had been replaced with a fender nut and bolt.The metal was straightened with a hammer and dolly, and the missing edges were filled in by gas welding. We followed with a flat needle file to finish the hole to an exactly-sized rectangular hole to accept an OE adjuster. The bucket was plug-welded back in at the original spot weld locations. The repair only took about an hour.We found the most efficient way to install the adjusters was to fully insert the plastic portion of the piece into the metal retainer, and carefully slam the assembly into the slot with the butt end of a hammer.The headlamp housings are factory finished with a galvanized look that keeps corrosion in check. Ours cleaned up almost perfectly, but we gave them a silver hammertone finish to even out the color. The new hardware and nicely finished pieces offered a beautifully detailed look.When replacing the headlamp housings, be aware that each one is different for a specific position on the car. Even though the housings will bolt-up in any of the four positions, the sealed beam bulbs will not end up right-side up or go in at all if the orientation is wrong. Fortunately, they are stamped for identification denoting their position, such as this one marked HI-LO RT-helpful information to know if shopping for used replacements.We finished the headlamp portion of our install with a new set of Wagner replacement halogen sealed beams. The lights need to be in place before the bezels go in and will help determine the grille alignment.
The right hardware makes all the difference if the goal is a clean, high-quality look. We were drawn to the aesthetic appeal of all-new clips and fasteners, and, fortunately, R/T Specialties offers kits for most Mopar musclecars with everything required in one bag. This is their grille installation kit for a '69 Satellite.The metal '69 Satellite grille mounts with screws at the top, which thread directly into the hood support header, while at the bottom the valance receives clips to capture the screw. Only the rear row of fastener holes in the valance are utilized for this style grille.Installing the center grille was the true test of Goodmark's workmanship. The grille bolted in exactly to the factory provisions, and the upper fasteners determined the centerline position.The finishing touch was the bezel installation, once again alignment occurred to the factory mounting provisions for a trouble-free installation. The bezels met the grille and overlapped the center grill perfectly. The grille pieces fell into position with an even perimeter around the body opening and headlamps.

Peter Thomas Roth Exfoliators gently eliminate dead cells while also dissolving common impurities. The exfoliation process does much more than just refine the skin's surface. It actually encourages a faster rate of turnover for skin cells. This contributes to a rejuvenating effect. Peter Thomas Roth Exfoliators help improve firmness and elasticity in addition to smoothing wrinkles and reducing the severity of dark spots and patches. Enlarged pores also look less noticeable when the skin is exfoliated regularly.
One of the best ways to keep the skin looking even and bright is with the regular use of an exfoliating product. Dead skin cells need to slough off and if they remain on the skin and fail to slough, they can cause various problems such as dullness and breakout.
Peter Thomas Roth Exfoliators come in a variety of formulas so that you can choose what best works for you. You can keep dead skin cells in check by mildly exfoliating every day or you may choose to only exfoliate once of twice a week. Thicker skin types tend to turn over skin cells faster and usually require more frequent exfoliation.
You may be doing a great job of taking care of your skin as far as the basics are concerned but make sure you go beyond basic cleansing in order to eliminate problem causing dead skin cells. Peter Thomas Roth Exfoliators can help prevent many common issues related to improper shedding of dead skin.
Peter Thomas Roth UnWrinkle Peel Pads offer a chemical exfoliation in an age fighting formula that delivers multiple benefits to the skin. These pads are soaked in a solution containing a blend of different hydroxy acids which exfoliates the skin to refine and rexturize the complexion. The pads are thick and double sided for easy application. In addition to the exfoliating effects, the skin will benefit from the added nourishing vitamins which protect the skin. Regular use encourages the dermis to turn over its cells faster, resulting in a smoother and more even looking surface. Moisturizers as well as other treatment products will penetrate better when the skin is continually exfoliated.
Exfoliation can come from different sources, including a cleanser containing exfoliating properties. Blemish prone skin benefits from exfoliation since dead cells can clog the pores and cause breakouts. For excellent daily exfoliation on both the face and the body, try Peter Thomas Roth Blemish Buffing Beads, formulated specifically for problem skin. The exfoliation happens because of a combination of glycolic acid and smooth beads that gently polish the skin to eliminate dead cells. The formula also contains salicylic acid which clears the pores of clogging oils and debris in addition to killing the bacteria that causes acne.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Off-highway motorcycle riders and other trail users stand to benefit from up to $82.4 million in federal funding to be apportioned to 49 states in 2014 through the Recreational Trails Program, the American Motorcyclist Association reports. Only Florida opted out of the program for fiscal 2014.
"As a federal grant program that provides funds to develop and maintain recreational trails, RTP is vitally needed to continue expanding and maintaining off-highway opportunities for riders," said AMA Vice President of Government Relations Wayne Allard. "In fact, RTP funds come from excise taxes generated by fuel purchased for off-highway vehicle recreation -- off-highway motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and off-highway light trucks -- so this is money that rightfully belongs to trail users."
RTP was created by Congress in 1991 with bipartisan support. The Federal Highway Administration administers the program.
Since its inception, the RTP has leveraged more than $787 million of federal grants into more than $1.3 billion in monies to fund recreational trails. Without this vital program, many trails would not have been built and without its continuation, many will face reduced maintenance and possible closure.
Authorized funds are allocated annually by the federal government to those states that choose not to opt-out for that fiscal year. Every year the governor of each state has the option to opt-out of the RTP and deploy the funds to other non-recreational projects.
Each state then manages its funds in consultation with an RTP board that represents both motorized and non-motorized recreationists. RTP funds support motorized, non-motorized and mixed-use trails projects. The only stipulation is that 30 percent of obligated funds must go to motorized trails, 30 percent to non-motorized trails and 40 percent to mixed-use trails.
Over the last year, the AMA and the OHV community have successfully fought against the elimination of the RTP by Congress, stressing the economic and social benefits of responsible recreation. The current federal highway authorization -- known as MAP-21 -- provides $85 million dollars annually for distribution to the states. However, OHV users contribute significantly more to the federal highway trust fund.
"With next year's RTP authorization now set, it's time for off-highway vehicle recreationists across the nation to contact their grant administering agencies and work to secure grants to fund trails projects." said Sean Hutson, AMA legislative assistant. "After all, it's the fuel taxes paid by the OHV community in particular that fund the entirety of this important program."
This marks the second consecutive year that Florida has opted-out of the annual RTP allocation, giving up $5.2 million in funding already paid for by that state's off-highway vehicle recreation community. As a result, Florida has fewer funds to create and maintain safe recreational trails for responsible users.

Christmas can be a tough time if you're out of work. Decisions on hiring will slow down in the latter part of December before picking up again in the second part of January. So, how can this time be used effectively and positively to keep motivation going through to the New Year?
Here are my top tips for making the most of the festive period to energise job hunting for the New Year:
1. Reflect and learn: what went well and what didn't in the search for work over the last few months? It's often easy to move from one application to another without stopping to think about what is working and what isn't. Firing off loads of applications and getting no responses? Go for a smaller range and research each one better. Getting interviews but not… Read more

Padres add RHP Ian Kennedy to rotation
Some teams approach the trading deadline looking for immediate help.
Others make decisions with an eye on the future.
The Padres Wednesday morning made a trade that could help in both areas as they acquired 28-year-old, right-handed, starting pitcher Ian Kennedy from the Arizona Diamondbacks before seeing their four-game winning streak end in a 4-1 loss to the Reds at Petco Park.
"This helps us immediately as well as moving forward," Padres manager Bud Black said of the three-for-one trade that cost the Padres left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher, right-handed minor league reliever Matt Stites and a Compensation Round B draft pick.
"Ian fits right into our starting rotation."
Kennedy, who is scheduled to make his Padres debut Sunday at Petco Park against the Yankees, was 3-8 for the Diamondbacks this season with a 5.23 earned run average in 21 starts.
But he has a career record of 49-38 with a 3.99 ERA in 133 games (131 starts) and was the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starter each of the past three seasons.
And in 2011, Kennedy finished fourth in the National League Cy Young Award voting after going 21-4 with a 2.88 ERA over 222 innings. His 39 wins since the start of the 2011 season is the fourth-most in the National League.
"He's had a down year for him, but we think Kennedy can get back to performing at the level he has in the past," said Padres general manager Josh Byrnes, who has now twice traded for Kennedy.
Byrnes was the general manager of the Diamondbacks on Dec. 8, 2009, when Arizona acquired Kennedy from the New York Yankees as part of a three-way trade that included the Detroit Tigers. A native of Huntington Beach, Kennedy was the first-round draft pick of the Yankees (21st overall) in the 2006 draft out of the University of Southern California.
In addition to being brought to the Diamondbacks by Byrnes, Kennedy played for current Padres assistant general manager A.J. Hinch, who was manager of the Diamondbacks in 2009 and 2010.
Byrnes said he targeted Kennedy about two weeks ago and the Padres extensively scouted Kennedy's last three starts. But actual talks with Diamondbacks (and former Padres) general manager Kevin Towers didn't begin until the Padres were in Arizona last weekend.
"Over the last couple days, Kevin and I talked a lot about this," said Byrnes, who said the deal was finalized Wednesday morning only hours before the trade deadline passed at 1 p.m. The deal was finalized around 11:30 a.m.
"We're excited to add a starting pitcher of Ian's pedigree," said Byrnes. "He is under club control through 2015. We feel he will help us take another step forward as a team."
Although Kennedy immediately bolsters the Padres rotation, Byrnes said his spot in future rotations was crucial in planning for the trade.
"Our starting pitching could get a lot better quickly," said Byrnes.
Immediately, Kennedy joins a rotation that includes Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross, Eric Stults and Edinson Volquez. Looking ahead, the Padres expect to have top prospects Cory Luebke, Joe Wieland and Casey Kelly back from "Tommy John" surgery next spring.
And many of the organization's top prospects are pitchers – Matt Wisler, Robbie Erlin, Keyvius Sampson, Matt Andriese, Max Fried, Donn Roach and Burch Smith
"Kennedy is the perfect addition," said Byrnes. "We're looking forward to 2014. But this doesn't mean we'll stop."
"I'm glad to have him," said Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley. "He's durable with a lot of weapons, all of which he throws for strikes. His best pitch is the mix and his fastball command."
Plus, Kennedy average 208 innings a season for the Diamondbacks from 2010 through 2012.

JOCKEY JAVIER MATIAS, MIKE MAN'S GOLD, WINNER: "In the gate, he surprised me a little bit. Last time he broke last, but this time he broke really sharp. I didn't want to take him back, so I just let him settle. I waited until the quarter-pole to ask him because I didn't want him to move too early. At the quarter-pole, I said 'let's go.' I never heard anyone coming until Gallyn (Mitchell) passed me after the wire."
JOCKEY GALLYN MITCHELL, FINALLYGOTABENTLEY, SECOND: "I really thought we'd win this race. After dueling early in his last race, I figured out how this horse wants to run. He likes that late move. He was really green in the stretch today. I think if he stays straight we win the race. I was so far in front galloping out past the wire that the outrider had to catch him. If he ever figures it out, he's going to be dangerous."
NOTES: Mike Man's Gold (2-2-0-0-$34,568)…Javier Matias is tied for first with Juan Gutierrez for most stakes wins at the meet with four apiece. Matias has 16 career stakes wins at Emerald Downs…Owner Keith Swagerty also campaigned No Flies On Doodle, half-sister to Mike Man's Gold and a four-time stakes winner at Emerald Downs…This is the first Emerald Downs stakes win for trainer David Martinez, former assistant trainer to Vann Belvoir…Martinez is 1-0-3 in six stakes this meet including two third-place efforts by 3-year-old gelding Brady's Kat…Washington-breds have won this race 14 times in 17 years…Next for 2-year-old colts & geldings: $50,000 WTBOA Lads Stakes, 6-½ furlongs, Saturday, Aug. 18.

Was watching a new episode of Western Extreme yesterday and they showed a new broadhead. I don't remember the name, but basically it is built into the nock and has a sleeve with your fletches on it. When the fletches hit the animal the sleeve comes off and the 8" blades are exposed and opened up. Did a good job on the warthog he shot. So you pretty much have 2 broadheads on your arrow as long as you get a pass through.
Pretty cool idea I think.

The unemployment office in Freeport is now closed for good.
About 10 percent of Freeport residents are unemployed. After today, they will have to travel at least 25 miles to get to the nearest unemployment office.
The Illinois Department of Employment Security decided to close the Freeport location because its lease expires today. Also because not many people were coming into the office for help.
Some unemployed Freeport residents depend on the local office in finding their next job.
"I like to be able to meet somebody face to face and explain my problem, rather than push 1 or push 2 or push 3," said Sheila McCarthy, who lost her seasonal position on Wednesday. "You know, try to get a physical person. That's important."
The Illinois Department of Employment Security said that more than half of all people now apply for unemployment benefits on the internet, instead of actually going into a nearby office.
In the past, IDES spokesman Greg Rivara told us none of the office workers were going to be laid off, and are instead being transferred to the Rockford or Sterling locations.

Clinton will meet Russia's Foreign Minisiter Lavrov over Syria
Newscast Media DUBLIN, Ireland—US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and UN peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi Thursday as world leaders desperately seek an end to the conflict in Syria.
Amid fears the 21-month conflict which has already claimed some 40,000 lives may take a gruesome new turn, the three diplomats were to hold crisis talks on the sidelines of an international meeting in Dublin.
"Secretary Clinton has accepted an invitation by UN special envoy Brahimi for a trilateral meeting on Syria this afternoon with Mr Brahimi and Russian FM Lavrov," a senior State Department official said.
US officials hope there may be a new willingness by Moscow, a staunch ally in Damascus, to probe ways to bring more pressure to bear on Assad to step down. The United States has been calling for some time for Russia to use its leverage with Assad to try to open the way towards a political transition. Moscow has been a staunch ally of Assad and has vetoed UN Security Council resolutions aiming to sanction the regime.
But it did initially sign onto a peace plan crafted by Brahimi's predecessor, Kofi Annan, until it wavered in the face of imposing punitive UN action if Syria refused to implement the accord.
Clinton and Lavrov met first on Thursday morning for bilateral talks in which a US senior official said they both agreed to "listen to what the special envoy has to say."
"They both have a lot of respect of his mission and want to be supportive of it," the State Department official said.
Washington has so far provided humanitarian, non-lethal aid to the rebels, but refused to arm the opposition amid fears of pouring weapons into an already volatile region, where anti-US militant groups are springing up.
Russian President Vladimir Putin met Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul on Monday on a trip focused on resolving sharp differences over the conflict. Last month, Erdogan said Russia held the key to the Syrian conflict, and that if Moscow took a "positive" stance in the Security Council it could push another key Damascus ally Iran to review its policies.

|Dani Brandt to tour with New Ways Singers
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Soprano Dani Brandt was selected for New Ways Singers after auditioning for the two-week choir tour with Nebraska Christian College.
After rehearsing for a few days at the college in Papillion, Neb., the group of around 40 high school vocalists will hit five states along their tour June 9-23.
The group focuses on singing but will also incorporate some dancing and instrumental portions into their concert performances.
Brandt, who will be an HHS sophomore next year, is involved with the HHS choir and will be in her second year of Select Choir. She thought it would be cool to be in New Ways because her dad Jerry and sister Nicole are both New Ways alumni. Others from Holyoke who were part of the summer tour group in the past include Gentry Lock and Kasey Smith.
2013 tour dates and locations include Central City, Neb., June 13; Huron, S.D., June 14; Gillette, Wyo., June 15-16; Billings, Mont., June 16; Riverton, Wyo., June 18; Cheyenne, Wyo., June 19; Colorado Springs, June 20; Scottsbluff, Neb., June 21; Clay Center, Neb., June 22; and Nebraska Christian College, Papillion, June 23.

Paula Deen Wants To Apologize To Al Roker?
by Daily Dish
posted Jun 26 2013 6:17AM
Congratulations to Holly Madison! She's about to be the bride next door! Holly Madison just announced that her boyfriend Pasquale Rotella popped the question and they are now engaged! She wrote on her blog: "My fiancé was so wonderful in creating such a romantic night! He proposed to me at the top of the ferris wheel at EDC Las Vegas. I was so happy that so many of our close friends were there to share the wonderful moment with us! We rode around the festival on the art cart until the sun came up! I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful or magical proposal!" The couple just had a daughter that she named Rainbow Aurora in March. They are already planning on expanding their family, wanting three kids.
Things just keep seeming to add up with this one. Katy Perry and John Mayer still appear to be back ON. After recently telling Vogue Magazine that she was still madly in love with John Mayer, Katy Perry was spotted out with John Mayer at New York's Greenwich Hotel on Saturday night and, later, at Monday's Friars Foundation Annual Applause Awards. At the event, John Mayer performed a song made famous by Frank Sinatra, which captivated Katy Perry. When they were sitting down, Katy Perry had her arm around John Mayer at one point. They shared kisses. So, CAUGHT IN THE ACT! My source is saying that the two "were seen smooching and rubbing one another's backs. They were affectionate towards one another – very lovey-dovey."
Kris Jenner is now the proud grandmother to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby North. Now, she is opening up about her grandchild, saying that "Everyone's doing really well at home. The baby's doing great and happy and healthy and it's a really joyful time." She also said that the baby is amazing. When she was asked if she could share any pictures of Kim Kardashian's first baby her response was the following, "I'd have to kill you if I showed you my cell phone." Kim Kardashian, her baby and Kanye West are currently staying at Kris Jenner's home while they renovate their own place in L.A.'s Bel Air neighborhood.
Paula Deen
's sons
Bobby Deen
are speaking up for their mom and denying accusations that she's a racist. In the wake of her racial slur scandal, Paula Deen has been dropped by the Food Network and Smithfield Food with QVC and Walmart reassessing their relationship with her. But her sons Jamie and Bobby, who play key roles in the their mother's restaurant business empire and are TV chefs themselves, say their mom is victim of "character assassination." Bobby Deen told CNN, "Neither one of our parents ever taught us to be bigoted toward any other person for any reason. Our mother is one of the most compassionate, good-hearted, empathetic people that you'd ever meet . . . These accusations are very hurtful to her, and it's very sad." We'll keep you posted as more details come through.
It's been a while since we've heard anything about Paris Jackson since her attempted suicide. Well, now the latest update is that she is first of all doing ok. Secondly, she will NOT get new guardians in the wake of her suicide attempt, but her biological mother
Debbie Rowe
is keeping a watchful eye on the situation and could mount a challenge if things get worse. The guardianship judge had asked a probate court investigator to do some digging after the suicide attempt to find out if the guardians were taking proper care of Paris.
TJ Jackson
are currently her co-guardians.
The report is in, and the judge has decided NOT to change the current guardianship arrangement. Debbie Rowe told the investigator she believes TJ Jackson is doing a great job as guardian, despite the fact that Paris does not want a man to replace Michael Jackson and tell her what to do. Debbie Rowe also thinks Katherine Jackson has done a good job, especially considering her age and health. But Debbie Rowe made it clear that if the situation gets worse, she will file legal documents for guardianship.
Chris Brown
has been charged with a criminal hit-and-run according to TMZ! The L.A. City Attorney has filed 2 criminal charges against Chris Brown, in connection with a minor accident last month where Chris Brown rear-ended a Mercedes and allegedly refused to hand over his driver's license number and gave fake insurance information and then left the scene. The City Attorney has charged Chris Brown for leaving the scene without exchanging proper information. He's also been charged with the crime of driving without a valid license. The crimes are punishable by a maximum of 6 months in jail for each offense. Chris Brown tweeted in response to the charges, writing, "It's not a hit and run if you get out the car, exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars). This is really ridiculous." He also changed his profile picture to the girl's car he allegedly hit. He also tweeted that he has a valid driver's license and gave the woman the right information but she saw a camera and wanted to make a scene.
A new update on Paula Deen! Looks like she wants to personally apologize for her actions to TODAY weatherman, Al Roker before her scheduled interview with Matt Lauer today. A show insider says that Paula Deen has told producers and Matt Lauer that she would like to personally apologize before going on the air, stating, "This is something that Paula wants to do, and is very important to her. She values Al and has tremendous respect for him. They both have a lot in common, their battle of the bulge, a love of food and family. Paula has been extremely emotional since making headlines last week, and she is ready to take responsibility for her actions. She has been physically sickened but has no intentions of backing out of the interview, and is ready to answer the tough questions."
However, Al Roker
doesn't think it's necessary for Paula Deen to apologize to him because it's not about him. She doesn't owe him anything. Al Roker thinks it's more important that Paula Deen explain her actions to the American public."
Don't think a wedding is in the cards just yet. We've already heard that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's wedding is on hold, but now we have more details. Turns out that Justin Theroux is miserable living in Southern California and desperately wants to move back to New York City but Jennifer Aniston refuses to go. She built a guest house at her stunning Bel Air mansion for Justin Theroux, a place for him to play music, and hang out with his friends hoping it would help. The problem is all about where to live. Justin Theroux has really tried to like living in Los Angeles, but he just doesn't. Jennifer Aniston is firmly planted in LA and doesn't like New York City. She felt exposed and hounded by the paparazzi there. She While this problem has prevented the couple from walking down the aisle, it's not expected to break them apart! Despite having concerns about where the couple will live, they love each other and don't want this to be a deal breaker for the relationship.
Looks like one mystery has been solved, but now we have questions. Earlier today, Miley Cyrus tweeted and then immediately deleted an angry ultimatum at her dad, but even weirder than the public airing of the family's dirty laundry was the picture Miley Cyrus attached to the tweet. It was the picture of a young television and stage actress named
Dylis Croman
, a woman who worked with Miley's dad on a recent Broadway incarnation of
!! Is this the mystery woman who had driven a wedge between Miley Cyrus' father and his estranged wife,
? Sources say the two were definitely cozy on set.
In fact, rumors swirled around the whole production that Billy Ray Cyrus and Dylis Croman were carrying on an affair behind Tish's back and that he was only remaining married to Tish for the sake of their youngest daughter, Noah Cyrus. EEK! Should you stay in a marriage you totally are done with for the sake of a child?

A True Story About Lander Blue Turquoise
Lately we have been thinking a lot about how to really give our fans and patrons something back. We decided we are going to start publishing one of the Hartman's true stories from the road, Turquoise collecting, and Jewelry making. We recently purchased a neat collection of Lander Blue Turquoise from a gentleman who's father had collected the natural Lander Blue Turquoise and cut it into cabochons in the mid 1970's – 1980's. This inspired us to tell one of the story John often tells our family whenever Lander Blue Turquoise comes up.
Lander Blue Turquoise Miss Hap
A Story from John, Estell and I had spent the winters of 1970 – 1972 making Jewelry by waking at 5:30 am each morning to work by 6:00 am. We worked hard all day until 6:00 pm six days per week and on Sundays we would cut 350 stones for the following week as we would make 50 rings per day, 70 pendant or 15 bracelets. Monday am's we would go down to Rio Grande on Edith in Albuquerque to buy our Silver and supplies for the this week. Week after week for eight months – we did this. In May we left Albuquerque with of over 800 lbs of Jewelry that we had made. Previously, John was working in his fathers machine shop making missile parts for Los Alamos laboratories. We headed for Yellowstone, Jackson's Hole, Cody, Cooke City, Gardener, West Yellowstone and then back to Jackson – and we did this several times as they kept buying and buying and buying. We stayed there the entire summer as business was so good! When we left in late August, we had made $250,000. Wow!!! Money in the Bank!
We immediately headed for Nevada to stock up on high grade rough Turquoise to cut the following winter season, one of the varieties of Turquoise we were after was natural Lander Blue Turquoise spiderweb. We drove to Battle Mountain and ended up in Cutler Edgars back yard cobbing Turquoise in the middle of September We went on to pay Cutler 30,000.00 for 100 lbs of the finest Stormy Mountain Nevada Turquoise we had ever seen. When we were ready to leave Cutler Edgar's house he sent us to the Hotel in the middle of town to look at their Lander Blue Turquoise.
We did go to the hotel and we purchased 1000 carats @ $4.00 per carat for cut stones and rough dime sized nuggets. They put them in a brown paper bag and we were so over whelmed, with our Stormy Mountain purchase we just through the 1000 carats of natural Lander Blue Turquoise in the back of the seat and never saw them again. Honestly, we think we may have thrown them away later thinking they were our lunch bagg instead of Turquoise. We were bummed when we realized what happened. Can you image what that many carats would be worth today at 200-300 dollars per carat?
At the time we lived in Albuquerque and Lander Blue was the big hype so we called Cutler and told him what happened. Cutler went down to the Hotel and got us 2000 carats of Lander Blue and Lander Blue dime sized nuggets and sent them over. So, we did end up getting a bit more Lander Blue Turquoise, but we will never forget what we did. How silly. I am sure nobody would make that mistake today!
Recently we were mining with Dean Otteson at the Royston Turquoise mine and on the way to the mine one day we were shootin' the breeze and he happened to mention a funny story he had about Lander Blue Turquoise. He was telling Dillon and I about how he took this Japanese man up to the mine to show him around, this was before the started their mining tours (http://www.roystonturquoise.com), and the whole time he was showing this Japanese man the mines, the man had a brief case cuffed to his arm. Dean was baffled by this. Being a country man himself, he thought it was a silly idea, I mean if someone really wanted the stuff in their they would certainly hurt you to get that brief case off your arm. Anyways, at the end of the day he asked the Japanese man, what'd ya got in there? The Japanese man was hesitant, but finally opened the brief case and showed Dean about 200 carats of Lander Blue cabochons and proceeded to tell Dean he paid $60,000.00 USD for the Turquoise. Dean was blown away. The short and long of sharing this story is… imagine how much moneys worth of Lander Blue we mistaken for our lunch and threw away in today's market. As I said before, I am sure nobody would do that today. I guess we sure learned a lesson. Today we feel like the Japanese man when it comes to our finest. We save all of our finest Turquoise from the best pieces of Gold Jewelry and Silver Jewelry.
Thank you for reading out TRUE story about Lander Blue Turquoise.

Topical Depression
Books | The hallowed New Deal succeeded in making a bad economic situation worse
"Topical Depression" Continued...
The New Deal began 75 years ago this week, but its mythology is still fresh. Many Americans still believe that when Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated on March 4, 1933, the United States began to come out of the Depression. Not so, declares The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression (HarperCollins, 2007), a splendidly written history of governmental economic intervention during 1930s America.
Author Amity Shlaes, a syndicated columnist for Bloomberg News and a senior fellow in economic history at the Council of Foreign Relations, has also worked at The Wall Street Journal and written books on German reunification and taxes in America.
WORLD: You've made a splash with The Forgotten Man. What's it about?
SHLAES: The thesis of this book is not especially controversial for economists, but it is controversial for historians who have not kept up with the economic findings. The argument is that the government made the Great Depression worse, both under Hoover and Roosevelt. That is a relatively new argument for historians. There is a school of economic thought called Keynesianism, invented by John Maynard Keynes, which says that government should spend to stimulate the economy when there is no money in the private sector. We learned a Keynesian history of the 1930s. We learned that for want of government spending, the Depression was bad, and that Roosevelt came along, spent, and made things better.
WORLD: You write that the governmental mishandling began with President Herbert Hoover.
SHLAES: Hoover is berated for not spending and for being too laissez-faire, but both those attacks on him are poorly thought-out. When Herbert Hoover was president, the government was really tiny, 3-4 percent of GDP, whereas now the federal government alone is about 20. So, even if Herbert would have spent the whole government budget, it wouldn't have been the whole stimulus that could have changed things.
WORLD: But he wasn't laissez-faire anyway.
SHLAES: He was not. He loved to intervene. If he lived today, he would be a McKinsey consultant. He was the smartest guy in the room; he came in and fixed everything. The thing he did that was most profoundly damaging was that he mistrusted the stock market. He thought it was like a bad child, and he should berate it. There were a lot of rogues in the stock market, but the stock market is also an expression of our economic growth, and there was more growth there than Hoover saw, and less inflation.
WORLD: So myth No. 1 concerns Herbert Hoover. He's often seen as a Republican, small-government conservative, but in many ways he was the exact opposite. There was continuity from him to Franklin Roosevelt.
SHLAES: Some of the New Dealers acknowledged that: "We're doing what Herbert did." Herbert and Franklin should have trusted the private sector more.
WORLD: I like the way you use their first names.
SHLAES: Well, you do get to know them. Hoover was extremely compelling. He really wanted to do good. In World War I he rescued the Belgians by giving them food when they were starving on the other side, behind enemy's lines, because Germans were in Belgium.
WORLD: Franklin Roosevelt's most famous line was, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." You write about government officials intimidating business during the 1930s and experimenting so much that businesses had reason to fear.
SHLAES: Roosevelt's experimentation scared the markets. Today, we watch business television and know unknowns are bad for the stock market. Roosevelt was king of the unknowns. One day he would be for big business, the next day he hated big business. The lingo of Roosevelt was extraordinarily hostile by modern terms. He said things John Edwards would not say. For example, "We seek an instrument of unimagined power in government." When markets hear that, they go under their shell. They say, let us wait this one out.
WORLD: You quote Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins speaking of FDR's "conflicts of logic and feeling, which so often beset, but kept him flexible."
SHLAES: I liked Roosevelt a lot-some of what he did. He's a wonderful man, you'd want to have dinner with him, you'd want him to be your president. He had a nice voice on the radio, and the radio was a new medium. It was like he was IM-ing people when all the other candidates were using some older means of communications. But, there were many Roosevelts, and that was the problem. One day, he'd say that he wouldn't betray future generations. Another day, he would do it.
WORLD: Untrustworthy?
SHLAES: Just mercurial. We all know people like that. Humans move from impulse to impulse, and they are not always consistent. There's the philanthropic impulse, the honesty impulse. Roosevelt cared a lot about balancing the budget, but he was the first great non-budget balancer.
WORLD: Back in 1933 a National Recovery Administration had the federal government setting prices and wages. The Supreme Court in 1935 declared that to be unconstitutional, and you quote Justice Brandeis telling Roosevelt, "This is the end of this business of centralization. I want you to go back and tell this president that we're not going to sit back and let this government centralize everything. It's come to an end." It wasn't the end, it was just the beginning.
SHLAES: In some ways it was the end. They never got control of the business sector of the economy again, the way they had it with the NRA. And because the NRA was so soundly defeated by the Supreme Court, today business is not regulated the way agriculture is regulated. I love this quote of Brandeis. For one thing, you can't imagine a Supreme Court justice, nowadays, in the cloakroom grabbing Karl Rove-but it was someone more junior than Karl Rove-and telling him, "You go back and tell Bush this and that." It's kind of fun to see that Brandeis was so direct.
WORLD: Did Roosevelt save America from revolution?
SHLAES: The standard story is that America would have gone communist or fascist, had FDR not been there. But I had no sense that Americans wanted revolution. The Democratic platform in 1932 was as placid and moderate as could be. Americans didn't really want revolution; they just wanted to have growth back.
WORLD: You note the romantic affairs of Harold Ickes, Rex Tugwell, and other New Dealers. How much did personal lives interplay with political lives?
SHLAES: I just think that if you leave out the private life, sometimes you miss the story. There was this hypocrisy of the New Dealers that they lived well, even as they advocated life as a proletariat, basically, and that's worth noticing. I think Washington is a true crucible. It's too hard for people to live there and they do often fall apart under the pressures of being in government.
WORLD: Your sympathy for Rex Tugwell comes through.
SHLAES: I liked Tugwell. Tugwell was a collectivist, so he was wrong. But he was an honest man, and he knew that his ideas weren't working out. One of the best books that I discovered was Government Project, the study of a farm that Tugwell had caused to be created a collective farm, right down to the detail, what color the houses were, how many cows, and so on. Later, one of his students went and saw that the farm didn't work. The people didn't want to share the chickens, they wanted their own chickens. There's a famous line in the book, well at least to me famous, where someone's observing and says, "I like the idea of the collective chicken coop, but I always keep forgetting, which chicken is my chicken." That's the essential collective problem. And worse, they trash the community house. So Tugwell's student writes this up, and Tugwell writes the intro: "Here's the story of my collective farm, my animal farm. It is not a nice story."

text: Nation's emergency physicians offer tips on avoiding trick-or-treat injuries. An estimated 40 million children between the ages of five and 14 could hit the trick-or-treat trails this Halloween according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The nation's emergency physicians want all of them to enjoy the holiday traditions safely and not experience any Halloween horrors that would include spending time in the emergency department. "Children should be out having fun and spending time with family and friends," said Dr. Sandra Schneider, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. "They should not have to spend Halloween in the ER because of some injury that could have been easily prevented." The risk of a child being hit by a car is roughly four times higher on Halloween than any other night of the year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other common Halloween injuries include eye injuries from sharp objects and burns from flammable costumes. Emergency physicians recommend that children "trick-or-treat" at organized Halloween festivities, such as local churches, shopping malls or schools. This way children are not walking in the dark and it allows constant adult supervision. In addition, ACEP suggests that adults following tips for a safe and fun Halloween: • Make sure your child stays on the sidewalks as much as possible (off streets) and obeys all rules. • Discuss the importance of staying together in a group. Require at least one adult to serve as chaperone during trick-or-treat gatherings. • Make sure your child knows the potential dangers from strangers. Make sure they know never to accept rides from strangers or visit unfamiliar homes or areas. • Avoid costumes that could cause children to trip, such as baggy pants, long hems, high heels and oversized shoes. • Avoid costumes that obstruct the child's sight or vision. • Avoid masks if possible. If your child must wear one, make sure it is well ventilated. • Make sure costume fabric, wigs and beards area made of flame-resistant materials, such as nylon or polyester. • Keep candlelit Jack-O-Lanterns away from children so they can't get burned or set on fire. • Make sure costumes are visible at night: avoid dark colors. Add reflective tape to costumes so your child is more visible to motor vehicles. • Make sure you see all of the candy before your child eats it. Avoid candy that is not wrapped in its original wrapper, as well as all fruit. • Take a flashlight while trick-or-treating as visibility decreases long before it gets really dark. • Check accessories such as swords, knives, wands and other pointed objects. Make sure they are made from flexible materials and have dulled edges.

Whether it's Hip Hop listeners or his fellow Chi-Town emcees, Interscope rapper Chief Keef has been earning some critical disapproval from many members of the industry. Now, however, one blogger has taken his complaints too far by calling Keef's music "a minstrel show."
According to a recent report HipHopWired, Edward McClelland, a Caucasian blogger for Chicago NBC 5, recently attacked Chief Keef and the drill music scene in a blog, calling it "a minstrel show." He said that the shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School last week moved him to decry the 17-year-old rapper for his violent lyrics.
"[F]rom what I've heard of it, is pretty lunkheaded: simplistic rhymes, primitive beats. But it's also a window into the world that has made Chicago the murder capital of America, and that piqued my curiosity," wrote McClelland. "Since last week's murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, though, I haven't had the stomach for any violent entertainment…I also don't want to pay $14 for the minstrel show of listening to a real live South Side thug. I don't want to support a scene that makes gangbanging a resume builder for music success."

Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - David West scored a season-best 31 points on
13-of-20 shooting to help lead the Indiana Pacers past the Sacramento Kings,
97-92, on Friday.
West hauled in 11 rebounds and was nearly unstoppable in posting his second
consecutive double-double. After hitting the game-winner on Tuesday against
the Lakers, George Hill tallied 25 points, eight assists and six rebounds in
the victory for Indiana.
Sam Young added 12 points off the bench for the Pacers.
Coming off a loss to Minnesota, DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with 19 points
and 16 rebounds. Sacramento was without second-leading scorer, Tyreke Evans,
who sat due to a bruised knee.
Marcus Thornton started in his place and finished with 15 points on 5-of-11
shooting. Jimmer Fredette and Francisco Garcia contributed with 12 points
apiece in defeat.

Sorry, I do not have my pics here yet. I was thinking that in the other forums, there are pages and pages of bike pics. It would be nice to have pics of the bikes people commute on. I know around here I like checking out people commuting rides to see how they have modified them for comfort, visibility, utility, and style. Has this been started on this forum before? Could we lobby for a sticky?
I'll post some pics after the weekend when I can get some pics.

Good sketches of the Sun .
Posted 18 October 2012 - 10:07 PM
Thank you for the kind comments.
@Jef, I understand your point and have flip-flopped several times on the issue of right-left presentation and. It remains a question.
Posted 19 October 2012 - 07:10 AM
Nice work. These proms are big enough to make you able to see them in your PST.
Tell me Mel, have you tried a 7mm eyepiece in your PST ? According to some calculations I did, the PST can handle 56X as you are using 40X actually. If you can confirm that, I would be interested to know. Maybe I'm wrong.
Posted 19 October 2012 - 09:19 AM
I use a 7.5mm Plossl when seeing is good but it can be a bit soft otherwise. I have 9 and 7mm TMB Planetarys I will try. Thanks for the idea.
Posted 19 October 2012 - 10:40 AM
Please let me know how the light is with more magnification. Try to see the biggest you can go without loosing too much light. To have the best idea, please use a dark cloth on your head to make you eyes very dark adapted. I really want to know what is the maximum power the PST can go.
Posted 19 October 2012 - 11:18 AM
A black cloth over my head in daylight in my 'hood, hmmm, I'll get back to you. Remembered I have a 6mm Ortho and a 6mm Planetary that should push the PST limits. Let's see.
Posted 19 October 2012 - 11:41 AM
Oh yes, 6mm should push to the extreme limit of your PST. I'm eager to know if its usable.
Posted 20 October 2012 - 02:04 PM
Nice work. The Sun seems to be waking up a little again. The new active region that just rotated into view (AR1596) bears watching.
I think the presentation convention for the Sun is north up and west to the right. That's what I try to do so it's easier to compare sketches and images.
@ Andre--the maximum useful magnification of the PST is dictated by seeing conditions more than anything else and seeing is often poor in the daytime unless you are observing early or late.
Poor transparency also limits how high you can go with magnification. Disk details but especially proms really suffer when using a PST under poor transparency conditions in my experience.
I have been able to use my 8mm BO/TMB Planetary ep (50x) once in a while but usually 40mm is as high as I can go and often 33x gives the sharpest view.
A lot of folks like to use a zoom eyepiece so they can just dial in the magnification that conditions allow. I believe they usually go from 7-24mm so you have a wide range of choices. I have an old zoom ep and it won't come to focus in my PST for some reason
I always start a session with my 15mm ep (27x) to get a good overview of what is visible around the solar disk and sometimes never get past that. Ha sketch @27x
A dark cloth over your head can really help improve the contrast through the ep. I have one that my daughter-in-law made me that is black on one side and white on the other (it can get hot under there) with weights sewn into the corners to keep the breeze from blowing it. It's deluxe!
Posted 20 October 2012 - 09:50 PM
Thank you for the compliment and your observations. I will get a dark head cover and expect it will improve the view.
The white light sketch orientation is currently a simplification of workflow for me but since I present both views it makes sense to have them with comparable directions.
And it's no excuse in this context but the Mt. Wilson daily sunspot drawings use pre-Apollo west/left convention. Good on them for doing it in any direction eh?
Posted 21 October 2012 - 08:49 AM
Not sure what software you use for processing, but it should have a button to flip your mirror-reversed WL sketch to the other orientation.
I agree--Those folks at Mt. Wilson have been producing a solar observation every clear day since WWI--they can do it any way they want.
Posted 21 October 2012 - 09:42 AM
Fine solar sketches here. I missed them until just now.

Celebrity endorsements have long been a mutually beneficial relationship – a brand gets the cachet of being associated with someone famous, and the celebrity gets paid handsomely for use of their name and likeness. But for every great celebrity endorsement (William Shatner for Priceline, anyone?), there are some that fail spectacularly. Here are a few of the all-time worst.
