Warehouse and DC Management: Guess' distribution evolution
Inventory is automatically updated with every receipt and shipment. A physical inventory count now takes just 12 hours with its WMS—a significant reduction from three days.
May 01, 2011
But all this was just the beginning.
Over the next decade, the company transformed its distribution operation out of its Louisville site to meet various business challenges. And with each transformation, their WMS would be repeatedly tried and tested. Over the next few pages we'll follow how this fashion giant's WMS kept pace with a new ERP software solution and the installation of a whole slew of materials handling equipment in an effort to keep the company on top of the fickle fashion world.
Transformation #1: New ERP
As part of its continuing quest to efficiently deliver uncompromising quality to its customers, the company's first transformation occurred in 2003 when the company decided to implement a new ERP software solution called Jesta I. S. (formerly Essentus). "The overall project for this new ERP lasted a year, but the integration with the WMS took about four months, and that's due to 'mapping,'" says Boyle.
Bryan Feddersen, Manhattan Associates' senior manager for its client services organization and the lead for the GUESS project, explains this mapping process: "It's a very detailed and involved exercise to map all of the data elements flowing between a WMS and the host ERP system. In most cases, you do not have the same data structure and integrity requirements on the host that you do in the WMS." He adds that data needs to be translated into a format that is valid and recognizable to the system receiving the data and also to the system sending the data. The data being mapped may range from inbound carton information at receiving to outbound order data and store distribution at shipping.
Fortunately, Jesta had integrated with Manhattan's WMS many times in the past in similar projects with other supply chain organizations; thus, much of its mapping had already been pre-configured. "Host interface design is always complex, especially when it is the first time you've worked with a particular vendor's software," says Fedderson. "But with several hundred clients in our client base, we've been able to build a repository of knowledge and experience from working with a large number of different host systems."
Transformation #2: Separating wholesale and retail
After a couple of years, another major change further tested the flexibility of its WMS. For years, inventory for both wholesale and retail had always been combined, and wholesale sold to retail as if retail were a wholesale customer.
In 2005, GUESS decided to split its business into two separate entities with each owning their own inventory—but still running both out of one DC. Not only did the WMS have to be modified to reflect this split, but it now had to integrate with retail's JDA ERP system.
"Dividing the inventory into retail and wholesale was not tremendously difficult," recalls Manhattan's Feddersen. "The complexity was in trying to decide when you made an adjustment whether you made an adjustment to retail's or to wholesale's inventory."
Louisville's distribution team successfully tested the concept over two weekends, both operationally and within the WMS, bringing in full crews to actually run a split of the inventory and to make sure that everything that was talked about on paper would actually work.
Transformation #3: New equipment
The DC's pursuit of excellence did not stop there. Over the next few years, the fashion retailer invested in state-of-the-art materials handling equipment to automate and increase the throughput and accuracy of its order fulfillment process in Louisville.
In 2007, GUESS added a bomb-bay unit sorter that automatically sorted individual units to its stores or to wholesale orders. From 2009 to 2010, a put-to-light system was implemented primarily for retail's quick response replenishment and for direct to consumer online orders. This year, the team is in the midst of installing a tilt tray sorter for more delicate handling of piece-pick items such as watches and jewelry.
With each new installation of a piece of materials handling equipment, interfaces with the different systems had to be built and tested, sometimes remotely at a vendor's facility. Overall, however, each integration went smoothly, lasting only two to three months depending upon the complexity of the equipment.
How the system works
The GUESS WMS is continuously interfacing with various systems and equipment as it directs the paperless flow of inventory through its DC. It begins with advanced shipping notices (ASNs) that are transmitted from suppliers to Jesta for wholesale, and to JDA for retail. These ASNs are then electronically relayed to the WMS.
Even before the case physically arrives at the receiving dock, each case license plate number (LPN) already exists in the WMS from this ASN. As cases are unloaded onto conveyors and scanned, they are automatically received, inventory is automatically updated, and the warehouse control system (WCS) is automatically notified to direct the case coming down the pike for one of many destinations: an inbound quality check, a weighing/scaling station for dimensions, the putaway area for storage, or immediately to the picking area for shipping. At each destination, each case is scanned so that the WMS can be continually updated with its current location and status.
On the outbound side, the WMS performs an allocation to decide whether there's enough inventory for that order and where to get the inventory from within the DC for distribution into the sorters or the put-to-light. After cartons of orders are packed, they're inducted into the conveyor system labeled with a unique LPN.
Real-time interfaces between the WMS and WCS directs the scanned outbound carton to either go to value-added services for additional operations requested by customers, to an outbound quality check, or to an automated print-and-apply area where shipping labels are automatically applied. Each case then crosses a scale and a tape machine before being diverted to the appropriate shipping lane.
A system with benefits
It's been over a decade since the initial WMS roll-out, and GUESS can't stress enough the importance of the system's flexibility and operation over the years. "With it, we know exactly where our inventory is, what state it's in, and exactly what our capacity is on the floor," says Boyle.
A physical inventory count now takes just 12 hours, down from three days.
Integrating the WMS with unit sorters and put-to-light systems significantly increased throughput allowing the shipment of 30 percent to 40 percent more inventory year over year. This shift to automation also realized hard savings of $1.3 million in 2009. Weekly store orders have been reduced from multiple shipments per week to just once per week with the consolidation of store orders.
More importantly, its WMS allowed the company to keep up with exponential demand and scale up to a brand new, larger DC. "It also provided the flexibility to handle all new interfaces such as the installation of new sorters and the implementation of new host systems for wholesale and retail," adds Feddersen.
Boyle could not agree more: "One of the great things about our WMS is how we've been able to bolt on just about anything we need. The way the system is configured allows for a number of access points in the software; and we've never had an absolute 'no' in terms of what we needed to do."
In fact, the Louisville DC's WMS has been so successful that GUESS has rolled out the same system in its DCs in Montreal, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

GHG -great to know the stock EFI can handle increased HP. What pressure are you running the injection ? also, is your regulator vacuum modified ? stock injector -or- higher flow ?
Here's the dyno sheet as an image, ghg.
That is BEAUTIFUL! Will it do the ton?
What a beautiful straight line- gotta love long stroke engines! Very impressive work. It makes me wonder what scooterbob's cams alone would do for hp gains, unless the stock lifters can't handle the extra lift?
OUTFREAKINGSTANDING! I've been wanting to see the finished bike for a long time.Good on ya both.
I can't have the Crash Test Dummy riding in the cold!! Hahahaha!
Any possibility of getting a pair of ScooterBob cams for the UCE ?Or, even the profiles ?

Anchor Intro: Now that college students have returned to campus and those tuition checks have been cashed, will you be getting any tax savings? Odds are you will. Bankrate.com takes a trip to campus to see how smart tomorrow's grads are when it comes to deducting their expenses.
Voice over 1: You don't have to write too many tuition checks to know that college costs a bundle. But at least some of those expenses are deductible, and effectively reduces the cost.
Voice over 2: But does today's students even know what tax breaks they're entitled to? We're going to find out with a simple impromptu quiz. And we'll start with something really easy: Are college expenses even deductible at all?
MOS: "I'm not sure. Maybe."
Voice over 3: Tuition and fees are deductible, up to $4,000. That's just tuition, registration and fees, not books, room and board or other stuff. Now, what are the Hope and Lifetime Learning credits?
MOS: "I do not know. I have not one clue what those are."
Voice over 4: The Hope Credit is a tax credit of up to $1,800 on the first $2,400 of tuition and fees. But you only get it during the first two years of college, and you have to be considered at least a half-time student.
Voice over 5: The Lifetime Learning credit is a credit for 20 percent of qualifying expenses up to $2,000. Unlike the Hope credit, you don't have to be considered half time, and you can take it in any year.
Voice over 6: Now, that was pretty complicated stuff, so let's end with something both simple and important. Which is better: a tax deduction or a tax credit?
MOS: "A tax deduction?"
Voice over 7: A tax deduction reduces the income you're taxed on. A credit reduces the tax you owe. So a credit is normally better.
Standup: So if you're the one writing the checks for that higher education, when tax time rolls around, better study! For Bankrate.com, I'm Kristin Arnold.

Mopar Engine Challenge - 700 HP WedgesWritten by on May 1, 2007 Contributors: Randy Bolig A Look Inside Two Of Our Engine Challenge Entries
All the engines in this year's engine challenge impressed us with stout power numbers, with most easily breaking 700 hp. Placing third and fourth, respectively, in the contest were Ramsey, Minnesota's HiTech Motorsport, and Warren, Michigan's Best Machine. These engine builders impressed us not only with the horsepower and torque their engines made, but also with the reliability of their motors. Both of these entries fired up and performed strongly right out of the box, and both builders handled the conditions in Comp's Memphis, Tennessee, dyno cell well, tuning their engines to more power with each pull. We'd be happy to have either of these engines in any of our cars and congratulate both HiTech Motorsport and Best Machine on their impressive showings.
What does it take to make nearly 750 hp from a 500ci engine running on pump gas? You can bet it involves both quality parts and professional machining techniques. Follow along as we go inside the engines from HiTech Motorsport and Best Machine to see what combination of parts these shops used to place so well in our challenge.
HiTech Motorsport, Ramsey, Mn
HiTech Motorsport was founded by Bart Wells in 1999 with the single philosophy of providing quality, high-performance machine work with a personal touch. HiTech Motorsport builds performance engines for both street and race applications and specializes in building custom turbocharged, supercharged, and nitrous oxide motors. In addition to building engines, HiTech's eight employees are also adept at chassis setup and have a chassis dyno in-house. Working on American iron exclusively, the crew at HiTech affectionately call their shop "the land of the misfit toys" as many high-performance cars end up at their shop after failed attempts by owners or other shops to make them run properly. HiTech recently moved into a new 22,000 square-foot shop where they can better accommodate their growing customer base.
The Bottom End
Since the contest rules factor not only the horsepower and torque of each engine but also the price of the parts that went inside, engine builder Bart Wells knew it would take a combination of power and economy to place well in our challenge. To keep costs down, he utilized a factory block that was machined in-house to his specifications. Pro-Gram Engineering cross-bolted main caps were utilized to stiffen things up, and an Eagle 4.150-inch crankshaft spins the Eagle 7.100-inch connecting rods. Knowing that compression makes power, the HiTech entry used Ross flat-top pistons combined with Total Seal piston rings to achieve a compression ratio of 11.6:1. To ensure proper engine lubrication, HiTech used a Melling high-pressure oil pump with a Moroso pan that was modified by welding in oil control baffles and making provisions for an external pickup. This is not so important on the dyno, but at the track or on the street these baffles really help keep oil at the pickup during acceleration, cornering, and braking. A windage tray was also utilized to keep power-robbing oil off the rotating assembly. Camshaft selection is key to making power, so Bart chose a Comp Cams custom solid-roller unit for this build. Duration at .050-inch lift numbers for this camshaft is 273-degrees intake and 288 exhaust. Lift is an aggressive .775-inch intake and .755-inch exhaust with a lobe separation of 112 degrees.
The Top End
This year our top three engines were topped with Edelbrock's new Victor series cylinder heads. HiTech stated that for the price, these heads make great power and respond well to porting, making them a logical choice for their engine challenge build. Head porting was performed in-house before filling the Victors with REV (Racing Engine Valves) valves and Comp's valvesprings (PN 919-16). Since the Victor heads require rockers with an offset on the intake side, Harland Sharp roller units featuring a .650-inch intake offset were chosen for this build. Rocker-arm ratios of 1.7 on the intake and 1.6 on the exhaust were used to gain a little extra lift from the Comp roller camshaft. A Pro-Systems-prepped Holley Dominator handled the mixing duties for this engine, and an Edelbrock Victor intake delivered the fuel/air charge to the cylinders. To light the fires, HiTech chose Accel's electronic distributor (PN 59300).
Best Machine, Warren, MI
Best Machine uses a simple equation when it comes to engine building: correctly selected parts, the best machining tools, plus a knowledgeable and experienced engine builder equals a happy customer. All we can say is, it must work because we would certainly be happy with the 746.7 hp their entry made in our competition. Gaining valuable experience at the dragstrip as well as in the engine shop, engine builders Chuck and Pete have tried it all when it comes to Mopar engines. Relying on both past experience and innovative new ideas, these guys are known for building powerful, application-specific engines that exceed their customer's expectations. For that reason, it was no surprise when their engine screamed to the second highest combined power and torque score of this year's challenge.
The Bottom End
Knowing a sturdy bottom end would be necessary to handle the power this engine would make, the guys at Best Machine used a combination of strong and economical parts in their short-block. Their factory 440 casting was machined in-house to a final bore size of 4.380 inches and was then clearanced for an Eagle-forged, 4.150-inch stroke crankshaft. ARP studs were also incorporated to keep the Best Machine billet-aluminum main caps in place. Eagle 6.76-inch H-beam connecting rods were matched with Wiseco-forged flat-top pistons to achieve a final compression ratio of 11.9:1. JE file-fit piston rings were used to keep the cylinders sealed. To keep their engine lubricated, Best Machine utilized a Melling high-volume oil pump matched with Milodon's oil pan (PN 30930) and internal pickup. A Mopar Performance windage was used to keep power-robbing oil off the crankshaft and in the pan. For a camshaft, the guys at best Machine relied on their experience to come up with a Best Machine custom grind. Lift numbers are .752 inch on both the intake and exhaust with duration at .050-inch lift at 260-degrees intake and 268 degrees on the exhaust side.
The Top End
Years of racing experience have taught the guys at Best Machine that Indy heads make power. For that reason, Chuck and Pete chose Indy's 440-1 cylinder-head kit to top their engine. "We've used these heads with great success on both street and race engines, and think that in kit form, the Indy heads are one of the best buys on the market," says Chuck Millen. The kit used on this engine features Indy's CNC ported heads, single-plane intake, 1.6-ratio roller rocker arms, cast-aluminum valve covers, and all the hardware to complete the installation. Best Machine simply added a set of Manley valvesprings matched to their solid roller camshaft and bolted the heads on as provided by Indy. Topping their Indy single-plane intake, Best Machine chose a Pro-Systems 1,150-cfm Holley Dominator carburetor. An MSD Pro-Billet distributor was used to ignite the cylinders to the tune of 746.7 hp and 652.2 lb-ft. of torque. This was the second highest combined power and torque score of the contest and good enough for a fourth place finish overall.

HiTech used their forged, 4.150-inch crankshaft and H-beam connecting rods for this build. Stiffening the bottom end is a set of Pro-Gram Engineering billet, cross-bolted main caps.Each engine underwent a tech inspection after its dyno pulls to ensure compliance with the rules.

These heads were a popular choice this year as they make great power at an economical price.HiTech used a Pro-Systems-prepped Holley Dominator and an Edelbrock Victor single-plane intake to handle induction duties on their engine.
Like all the builders this year, Best Machine utilized a factory 440 block to keep costs down. Notice the aluminum main caps, which are an exclusive Best Machine product.Wiseco-forged, flat-top pistons were used in this engine to achieve a final compression ratio of 11.9:1. Eagle rods were the connecting rod of choice for most of the engines in this year's challenge.The 4.150 inches of stroke puts the piston deep in the hole when at bottom dead center, but, as the saying goes, there's no replacement for displacement.Indy's 440-1 heads utilize a long-stem valve design that allows for significantly taller intake ports and raised exhaust ports. Indy's CNC porting optimizes flow from these heads.Combustion chamber seal is vitally important to making power, so Best Machine used multilayer steel head gaskets on their engine. According to Chuck, "We've found these coated gaskets to have as good or better sealing ability than copper gaskets and O-rings."

Holiday means big business for shippers
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sam and Anna Wood stood at the end of a line that snaked to the door of a Kanawha City UPS store.
During the lunch hour, the brother and sister were sending gifts to their grandparents in Cumberland, Md.
With just a few days left before Christmas, the store was full of people just like the Woods, hoping to get presents to their loved ones in time for the holiday.
"We hope so," Sam Wood said. "It said if we get it [sent out] today it would."
For shipping companies and stores, Christmastime means big business. The December holidays top Valentines Day and Mothers' Day as the busiest time for shipping companies.
Typically the entire month of December is a busy time, said Howie Young, owner of the Kanawha City UPS franchise.
"It's been kind of strange [this year]," Young said, looking up from the box he was shipping. "Usually the whole month of December is busy. [This year] it's only been busy the start of last week. A lot of people are waiting until the last minute."
This is Young's ninth Christmas as the UPS store's owner. The store hires a couple of people extra during the holiday season and extends its business hours, he said.
"UPS sends us a trailer," Young said. "Otherwise you wouldn't be able to move in here."
While the holidays are a busy time, Young is also expecting to be busy next month.
"The whole month of January we'll do all the returns," he said.
In addition to the shipments from the state's 12 UPS stores like the one that Young owns, UPS also plans to deliver 520,000 packages in West Virginia during its peak week, which began Dec. 17. An average week has the company delivering 295,000.
Nationwide during peak week, the company expected to ship more than 135 million packages around the world, including 28 million on its busiest day, Dec. 20, when the volume is almost 80 percent higher than usual. To accommodate the increase in business, UPS plans to fly 400 additional flights per day during peak week.
Last year, the company delivered 27 million shipments on its peak day.
For the U.S. Postal Service, Dec. 17 is the busiest day for sending packages and cards and Dec. 19 and 20 are the busiest days for delivery. The postal service expected more than 658 million pieces of mail to be processed Dec. 17, compared to 528 million for an average day.
At the postal service's Charleston Processing and Distribution Center, about 617,000 pieces of mail were expected to be processed Monday, up from 265,000 on an average Monday.
For FedEx, the busiest day this year was Dec. 10, a Monday, spokesman Chris Stanley said. On that day, 19 million shipments were expected, he said. Overall, 280 million shipments were expected between Thanksgiving and Christmas, an increase of 13 percent over last year.
Much of the increase had to do with a larger number people buying Christmas presents online and having them shipped, Stanley said.
For the Christmas season, FedEx brings in 20,000 more employees nationwide and 800 for a region that includes West Virginia and parts of Ohio. Shipping during the December holidays tops shipping for all other days of the year, Stanley said.
"We call this our Super Bowl," Stanley said. "... It's the biggest."

3 of my buddies and I are planning a hunt for 2015 in either Montana or Wyoming. This will be our first hunt like this AND we are in FL so we have alot or research and planning ahead as well as all the specialized gear to collect. This is my first post of many I am sure. I've got a subsciption to Eastmans for christmas and a DIY public land muley hunting book.
First let me get this out of the way, one individual in our group thinks we need to pack all kinds of pistols and/or rifles like 45/70 guide gun for grizzly protection. I've convinced myself(right or wrong) that its nothing to worry about. I mean lets be aware but I dont see a need for all that extra firepower. What do you backcountry regulars say?
Now, is it just me or is Montanas fish and game website about like trying to decipher code? Would i be better to ask questions here or contant montana and wyomings fish and game departments ? Thanks!

Good morning to my good friends on Red Sox: On the front burner.We all wait in life. We wait in the check out line in the super market. We wait in line in the bank. We wait in the examination room for the doctor. And now my good Red Sox fans wait for their beloved team to live up to all the hype. Bold journalists proclaimed that the Sox were going to win over 100 games and challenge the '27 Yankees as the greatest club in MLB history. Gonzalez was anointed as one of the greatest sluggers in Red Sox history. Carl Crawford would follow in the Hall-Of -Fame footsteps of his left field predecessors, Williams, Yaz and Rice. And Bobby Jenks was the heir apparent to Papelbon.
But the cruel reality is that none of these prognostications have come to fruition. Looking at this mornings standings and stats I see the Sox in last place, 4 games behind my Yankees. In fact, the Sox have a lower winning pct than the Seattle Mariners. Gonzalez has hit exactly one homer as a member of the Red Sox. Carl Crawford is hitting a paltry .160. And the other members of the Sox hitting below the Mendoza line are Salty, Scutaro, Cameron, McDonald and Varitek. And Kevin Youkilis isn't that far away at .213. So the comparison of the 2011 Sox lineup to the '27 Murderer's Row Yankees lineup turns out to be ludicrous.
Moreover, the Sox pitching staff has glaring weaknesses. Two key starters in the rotation have bloated ERAs: Buchholz, has a 5.33 ERA and Lackey has a 6.35 ERA. And two important Epstein bullpen acquisitions this off season have been disappointments: Jenks-ERA 8.64 and Wheeler-ERA 9.82.
So once again you wait. But I Guess you're used to waiting. It's been 95 years and waiting for Sox fans.

Riding On A RailWritten by Steven Rupp on April 21, 2005 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins This '69 Camaro is a serious track car with street manners.
Robert Wilson of La Palma, California, has always felt pulled in two directions. He already owns a 1967 Camaro that runs 9.60s at 141mph down the 1320 but that car didn't have the best street manners and wasn't a great handler when it came to the twisties. So what to do? Build another Camaro as a bad-ass g-Machine, of course!
As Robert said, "I wanted a car that I could drive anywhere...but still quick enough to rip the windshield out of most vehicles on the street." It was during an alcohol-fueled game of Grand Tourismo that Robert and his best friend Marc Martine, came up with the idea to build a '69 Camaro into all-out g-Machine. After gaining the blessing of Robert's very understanding wife Dawna, the guys set out on their mission.
So in March of 2003, Robert partnered up with Marc and acquired a nice 1969 Camaro. Without much of a plan, the two began ordering go-fast parts at an alarming rate--so fast that the credit card company called to make sure the card had not been stolen! Other than the basic body, almost nothing was retained from the original car. First to go was the factory front sub-frame. In its place they bolted on a Martz Custom front subframe with rack-and-pinion power steering, adjustable coil-over shocks and narrowed tubular upper control arms to help squeeze in wider wheels up front. For the rear suspension they had the guys over at Hot Rods to Hell weld in one of their slick truck arm suspensions. Since they were there, they also added mini-tubs from Detroit Speed and Engineering and subframe connectors.
Now that the suspension was in order, it was time to address the drivetrain. The pair hit the Internet for information, getting set-up ideas from sites like www.pro-touring.com and www.LS1tech.com. It was after this that Marc and Robert opted to go with the "all or nothing" approach and squeeze in an LS6 Vette motor from A&A Corvette in Oxnard, California. The basically stock motor got a good mid-range cam (224/228 degrees and 0.581/0.588-inch lift), and some custom tuning. They are on their third camshaft in the last six months in an effort to squeeze out the maximum horsepower from the LS6 motor. So far they have dynoed a very respectable 414 rear-wheel hp and 389 lb-ft of torque. Keeping it running cool during spirited driving is a custom Be-Cool aluminum radiator with dual SPAL fans. Shifting duties are handled through a T-56 six-speed transmission and a Centerforce dual-friction clutch. Power is transmitted to the road through an ACPT carbon fiber driveshaft mated to a GM 12-bolt differential with 3.73 gears. The exhaust is vented through S&P headers into a custom dual exhaust.
With all that ability to go fast they needed to address the other side and make sure that the car could stop good as well. Wilwood four-piston calipers on four corners mated to 13-inch front rotors and 12.25-inch rear rotors keep everything under control. Rolling stock consists of Boyd Stingray 17x8 and 17x11 billet wheels wrapped in BFG KD rubber 245/45R17 front and 315/35R17 rear.
Since the vision of the car included comfort in addition to performance, the duo addressed some of the creature comforts. The entire interior was coated in Dynamat and then the guys at Eddy & Sons crafted a custom black tweed interior. Information is relayed to the driver through Autometer gauges mounted in a Detroit Speed dash. A Momo steering wheel tops off a Flaming River tilt steering column and is complemented with a Lokar pedal set. With many road miles planned for the Camaro, good tunes were in order so they installed a head unit by Alpine, Alpine amplifiers, Polk component speakers and a 12-inch subwoofer by Audiobahn. Other upgrades include power windows, door locks and a Vintage Air Compact II system to handle heating and cooling duties. Given the capabilities of the car and how it would be used, safety was a major concern. This was addressed with the addition of a 10-point roll cage by Hot Rods to Hell and a set of 5-point racing harnesses.
Now don't get the crazy idea that this is some show-car trailer queen. This car was built with one thing in mind, to be driven! In the year since it hit the road they have logged over 6,000 miles on the car. At the drag strip they have hurled the Marina Blue Camaro down the quarter-mile to the tune of 12.59 at 114 mph. Pretty respectable for a car set up to battle on twisting roads.
One of their more proud moments was competing in the Nevada Open Road Challenge event. This took place in May of 2004 just shortly after the car was completed. Technically these cars are never truly completed, so the pair was a little concerned about how the combination of parts would perform in the real world. According to Robert, "Not only did the car feel as steady as a rock at 160 mph (GPS verified) but the car won the Most Coveted Car award at their car show." Not too shabby considering the event was stuffed full of Vipers, Ferraris, Corvettes, Porsches and other exotics. They didn't win their speed class, but the event was a great learning experience and they plan on doing better next time. In fact, they have already been honing their skills by competing in Nevada's Silver State Classic.
So what is planned for the Camaro's future? We managed to get Robert to admit that he is considering either a 427 LSx motor for the car or possibly some sort of forced induction. After all, can you ever have too much power on tap? Robert and Marc have also considered some new fancy paint, but the pair is concerned that this would make them more hesitant to run the car as much. As we all know, open road events at high speeds are notoriously hard on paint jobs. According to Robert, the focus on the car will always be driving it, and at PHR, that is music to our ears.

Crusader Kings II Latest News
Paradox devs discuss bringing women into grand strategy
Video games have produced, by and large, a male-dominated subculture. The ESA reminds you every year that roughly half of game players are female, but that's speaking of games in a very broad sense that covers the mobile and social markets. Certainly in terms of traditional gaming, and in online communities, diversity is the exception rather than the rule.
Project Augustus is a game all of Paradox Interactive "always dreamt about doing"
It's the last day of the month and here's Teaser #7 for Paradox Development Studio's soon-to-be-revealed Project Augustus. We're told this is "a project we've always dreamt about doing," and not just for the internal devs.
Some have noted that Paradox has expressed a desire to boldly go to man's final frontier before, i.e. space. Could this be a grand strategy set among the stars? If so, what shape would it take? Real-time or turn-based?
"Elections and Technological Development are important" in Paradox's Project Augustus
Two more teasers for Paradox Development Studio's new IP in the works, which currently hides behind the name of Project Augustus. Yesterday's revealed Henrik Fåhraeus (Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron) as Game Director.
Today's says that "Elections and Technological Development" are important elements to the game. It's most definitely grand strategy material, but it sounds as if things could be moving away from a Roman era?
Paradox Interactive begin "every weekday" teaser campaign for Project Augustus, to reveal at Gamescom
The brand new IP that Paradox Development Studio is working on will be announced in full at Gamescom next month, but until then we'll be subjected to small teasers "every weekday" until they finally unveil the truth.
This will be the internal studio's "first new major IP" since Crusader Kings debuted over a decade ago. Teaser #2 tells us Seven and Three "are important numbers." We're then told to enjoy our weekend.
Crusader Kings II: Horse Lords releases today, world expands to the "steppes of Central Asia"
The horses are on the move as the Great Khan and his hordes can now terrorise nations from the Central Asian steppes to the very far shores of Europe. It won't be easy though, but what is in Crusader Kings II?
Clan politics will have to be carefully navigated in Horse Lords, and existing powers can now take advantage of the Silk Road trade routes, and new temporary forts to hold enemy territory.

Sounds like the Shack Nasties are gettin' you guys. The trout fishing is pretty darn good right NOW! OOps shouldn't have said that, shhh just keep that one to yourselves. I'm all for the thunder chickens and morels though you boys makin' me hongry!
Jen, Jen, Jen... BB is on the dime AND couple hours south of us is HOT! Oh but ya need to learn to flyfish... lol!
Fishing for trout on tailwaters is good right now. If you click on the link I posted you'll see some winter pictures.
Small midges will get them in winter.
Old Hunter,
If I lived out there in your neck of the woods, I'd be after them trout just like you. I enjoy fishing Rio Chama in the summer. It's hard to come back home to the heat after been out there for a little while. One of these days, when I retire (in about 30 years!). I'm going to give all my land, cattle & equipment to my kids & move out west. At least part of the year, not sure I'll stay in the winter.
Can 'A River Runs Through It' still be my favorite movie?
You bet, it was a good one. I also really liked Legends of the Fall. Have you ever saw Last of the Dogmen? If not you need to, it is one of my favorites.

Well I would rather use Firefox, but the latest version has that bug with the "Attachement" issue...i.e can't send attachments.
So I am trying to use IE 6.0 until the next release of Zimbra comes out with the fix for Firefox.
However, when I go to the client login page, I get the silver background and that is it. Down in the bottom left of IE status bar is "Done" with a alert symbol. The error is as follows:

Any ideas?

Story and photos by Steve Berkner | Click here for additional photos from the 2013 ISDE
With five days, 1125 kilometers and 30 special tests behind them, the U.S. World Trophy Team sits poised to finish second place in the 2013 ISDE, the international off-road motorcycle racing competition that tests the endurance of both rider and motorcycle.
Not since 1982 has the U.S. Trophy Team finished higher than third place at Six Days, and this year they sit just 48 kilometers and a six-lap final motocross test away of equaling that accomplishment.
"It has been a long week and right now we only have one thing on our minds and that is making it to the final motocross special test," said U.S. ISDE Team Manager Antti Kallonen. "Our goal this year was to hit the ground running and be as consistent on Day 1 and Day 2 as we've proven in the past that we can be on Days 3, 4, 5 and 6. We only race the Six Days format once a year. [Historically,] we start slow a little slow and struggle to work our way up from there.
"Of course, we have enough of a cushion [France sits in the lead 14 minutes, 20 seconds ahead of the U.S. team with the host country Italy in third 3 minutes, 40 seconds behind the Americans] that as long as we have five guys finish the final moto, we have second place."
Kallonen says there's an outside chance the U.S. could move into the lead.
"As far as catching France goes, they would have to have two riders have trouble finishing the final moto," he says. "It doesn't happen that often, but over the years it has. Of course, the same thing could happen to us and we could lose second place, but all of our riders are healthy and their motorcycles are running strong."
Day 5 of this year's ISDE didn't come without its own drama for at least one of the six rider U.S. Trophy Team riders as Charlie Mullins struggled to advance even half way through the day with out significant problems.
"When I finished the first test, we noticed I was missing six [front] spokes, but we didn't have any time to fix it," Mullins says. "Then by the end of the next test, I was missing two more, but I had to make it to the next check before I could make any repairs.
"There I used all of my [allotted time to start the needed repairs] and actually had to push my bike through the check with the tire half off the rim so I could finish it on the other side of the check," he says.
Mullins says that it was a close call.
"I think I went through [the check] with just 2 seconds to spare," he says. "My day seemed to go down hill from there [as that repair] seemed to take away all of my focus. Then I crashed pretty hard in the next test, and it felt like it was all I could do to make it to the finish, but I made it through the day."
Kallonen said that Mullins' effort was significant. Mullins finished the day 10th in the E3 class which dropped one position in the overall going from eighth to ninth.
"Today Charlie put in a very hard day," Kallonen says. "I have a lot of personal respect for him as he did what he had to do to stay competitive and make it to the end of the day."
While Mullins struggled to get through his penultimate day of this year's Six Days, his teammate Taylor Robert finished the day still in fifth place overall.
"Being top American is kind of cool, but it doesn't mean that much to me if we don't make the podium," Robert says. "Right now, we're focused on finishing Day 6 and making it to the final moto. Barring any type of disaster, we should be able to finish in second. My personal goal right now is to win my final moto."
Joining Mullins and Robert on the U.S. Trophy Team are Kurt Caselli, Zach Osborne and Thad Duvall.
The U.S. Junior Team, made up of riders Kailub Russell, Andrew Delong, Jesse Groemm and Grant Baylor, sits in fourth place overall, where they have finished all week other than Day 3's third-place finish. France, Italy and Great Britain are first, second and third in that division.
The U.S. Women's World Trophy Team, represented by Mandi Mastin, Rachel Gutish and Brooke Hodges, is in sixth place.
The U.S. Wellard club team is in second place, led by the efforts of Ryan Sipes who is leading the overall C2 class. He is joined by Nick Fahringer and Jimmy Jarrett.
Only one of the original 31 American rider's that started the event on Monday, Ryan Kudla, has retired.

May 31, 2016
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has signed a bill posthumously pardoning a group of black youths who were wrongfully convicted of raping two white women more than 80 years ago.
Bentley Friday signed House Joint Resolution 20, formally exonerating the nine boys who ranged from 13 to 19-years-old. The ceremony was held at the Scottsboro Boys Museum and Cultural Center.
Eugene Williams, Haywood Patterson, Charles Weems, Clarence Norris, Andy Wright, Ozzie Powell, Olen Montgomery, Roy Wright, and Will Roberson were accused in 1931 and were convicted by an all-white jury.
All nine, except for the youngest, were sentenced to death although one woman recanted her story and said she fabricated the rape allegations. They all were eventually released from prison.
Bentley says the state can't take back what happened, but can make it right moving forward. He said the bill was the result of a bipartisan effort.

Time Constraints
I was going to start my campaign in 1-3 months, so if its preferable to be done before this. But I can wait some time for a good map.
I've found some maps on forum that I liked very much. If some one will do it in approximately same style and may be quality as in this or this thread it would be awesome.
My idea is partially based on Might&Magic concept long time ago there was a seedship of unknown powerful race. It supposed to travel for colossal distances in search for a good place for a new planet. After such place is found systems of control unleashes bounded elementals to create and form a new land for living. In this process seedshep is disassembled and materials are used to create a gateway to the Web of the Worlds.
The difference of my world is that during the planet creation process something happened and ship was torn into pieces forming some kind of asteroid field around the star. Still, elemental powers were unleashed and lots of asteroids started to accrete with landmass and water. On some of them an atmosphere is held with still working systems. Seeds of various life forms were thrown into the space and some of them found their place on newly created micro planets giving life to my story.
Im interested in only one asteroid now.
The story for players will be approximately like this:
Once, the most powerful king of all time, Chronos, who ruled almost the whole world(still just one asteroid, but people do not know it), and only gods(some primal elementals) was equal in strength to his armies, ordered to build a huge battle ship for battle with the god of the sea. 7 years of subdued spirits of forests grew best wood for the ship, then 7 years old spirits of fire smelted metal for nails, connecting board, and cannons, which will kill the god. It is said that Chronos gave his daughter in as a maid to the god of winds, so that only the best winds will fill the sails of the ship. Thus, after 15 years from the decree of the king, Horougrim - Conqueror of the Worlds was ready for battle.
Many stories tell about the battle between Horougrim and the God of the Sea, all in different ways, but almost certainly known that when Chronos beheaded wet god - the water that served as gods blood flooded all land. When Chronos traveled back he found his kingdom sunk under the water, but enormous size of Horougrim became his curse: he aground on the place that before was one of the highest mountains and for many years crew of the ship had to live on it. Since then, water level lowered and new islands raised, some people from Horougrim moved to the land, but colossal ship is still serves as home for thousands of man, seekers of non-existent borders.
So my main concern is the map of so called Free sea. It should show approximately like this . With details, such as rivers and medium and large cities. Feel free to change anything except the Horougrim.) If need more details contact me by e-mail trylis1991(at)gmail(dot)com
Just in fantastic case if some-one will like my idea and will have time and desire, I also want other maps (cities, overall look on asteroid field around star) and any illustrations some-one will wish to do. In such case I would do my best to find at least some payment but can promise nothing.
The scale of the map will be approximately 50-70 miles to the inch.
Quality & Size
Quality will depend on offers. Of course I would like professional, but Ill take any non-bed map.
Required for print as handout for players and if it will be cool map - for printing in large size to place on the wall.
Dimensions of map: I would like around 4k x 4k pixels or original vector file
[Raster / Vector] any way its handful to artist
The artist will retain copyright of the map

You hair looks really nice the way it is, I wouldn't go for a major change. Oh, and I really like your pumps!
I wish you a great time in Germany :)
xx, Susann
Fashion in Pepperland
You are so cute. I love your fun hair, you should think about going for no-bangs. And a fun bobbed hair cut. But I'm sure whatever you choose will look lovely on you.ReplyDelete
You should get straight cut bangs (like Zooey Deschanel) It would look so cute on you. Good luck!!
love the bagReplyDelete
I love that faux fur! BTW, I've been to Germany, to Frankfurt, Berlin and some little village by the Polish border. Seen some major picturesque scenes. Have a great time! xReplyDelete
Your hair is beautiful! and I love this outfit!ReplyDelete
J'adore tes shoes ! Très jolies tenues !
Wait, so are you getting your hair cut short, or just straight bangs in the front?ReplyDelete
What cute little heels! You look lovely!ReplyDelete
lovely blog!
Your hair is so cute ^^
Your hair is so pretty the way it is! I love the new things and how you styled them! Very pretty pictures and lucky you--going on a roadtrip! Have fun!
i think you would look amazing with blunt bangs! and i love your vest, that collar is perfect!ReplyDelete
you look gorgeous! love your hair color!
I looove the color of your hair! I usually go redhead for the summers. :)ReplyDelete
thanks so much for your comment! these are so cute photos, and the outfit is so lovely! and it's true, europe is great because everything is quite close together, but a roadtrip through the usa would be really great!
I follow you, your blog is sooo cute! perhaps you have some time to visit my blog once again ;-) and perhaps follow me back when you like it?
xxx Anita
My hair gets that feeling too. Hm I suggest fringe bangs. =]ReplyDelete
Agreed, I love your hair now. I do love sidebangs... you look so pretty!ReplyDelete
Hello there!
I'm not sure you should get bangs or cut your hair at all (long red hair is too pretty!), but if your hair is getting dry and frizzy, try to use a deep-conditioning mask. The L'Oréal line in Europe offers excellent ones at good price. And use a wave-enhancing product to let it become wavy rather than frizzy/straight (it's ugly when it happens after you straighten your hair).
Hope this helps! And I LOVE your outfit, but you need to show us more of your pretty face!
Lovely picture by the trees! Love the chic outfit! And yes we do want what we can't afford.. I live in the US and want to visit Europe!
Oooh, love that fur trim on the vest!
Cute, chic outfit. <3
And I'm also having an outburst of split ends, it drives me crazy! I need to try out a product for it, but I'm not sure what works...
Hmm, not sure what you could try except for blunt bangs. Have you seen that trend? I've done it the past two summers and they've turned out really well. Just know it will make you look reaaally younger unless you're wearing makeup. Haha
Your striped tee is so cute! Love the fur collar as well!ReplyDelete
love this look! so cute! Have fun in Germany!
love from San Francisco,
This outfit is so fun. love the stripes, fur, and knit sweater combo!ReplyDelete
your hair isn't bad at all!!!!!!!!love that length and color,probably all you need is a little trim!<3
Nice bag and shoes and oh, love your ginger hair by the way, always wanted to say that :DReplyDelete
beautiful photos and outfit!ReplyDelete
I was terrified before getting the bangs I have now but it was the best decision I ever made. I think you could do almost any bangs and look good, honestly.ReplyDelete
We all have those days! You look is fabulous!ReplyDelete
Loving your bag and that cute little sweater! Eeek - haircuts can definitely be scary, but I'm sure whatever you do will look great :)
The Other Side of Gray
i say for sure get wispy straight across bangs. i did, and i love them! I think Canada should also be on your bucket list for road trips. really, it's so wonderful!
I am bad decider with hair and I tend to stay away from bangs (they look silly on me) so I can't help you there, sorry.
I can tell you that since using Moroccan Oil my hair is WAY less frizzy and dry and I can go a few months longer without going to the salon. It's amazing stuff.
You look in these photos.
Cute pictures!ReplyDelete
I'm loving the details on this outfit...those tiny little stripes, the buttons/fur on the sweater, and those really cute shoes! Great handbag too.
<3 Cambria
I can imagine so many hairstyles that would suit you! Your hair is lovely this way too, by the way! Light bangs, side bangs or a more brave haircut - a nice bob! :)
Your vest is so special, really pretty. :)
I've been feeling the same way about my hair lately, but honestly, yours looks amazing! I love the colour more than anything, I've always wished for red hair! And this outfit is beautiful...love the soft neutral tones.
Alexandra xo
You look adorable. I love your hair and your outfit.ReplyDelete
I love stripes and how you layered the tee under the vest! This outfit is really cute :) hmmm I get really scared for haircuts too. I think side bangs would be nice because blunt bangs are really hard to manage D:ReplyDelete
Love that first pic! :D
xo bff ;)
you've totally just described my hair right now. it's been almost a year since my last cut!
I totally think you could pull off bangs, they'd be so cute!
Chic on the Cheap

* Penguin Party Games
The penguin birthday party play date
was filled with lots of fun play "stations" set up throughout
the house so the 3 little girls could run around
and play as they wished in the different areas.
They had a great time and were very imaginative with their games.
Homemade Penguin box bean bag fish toss game.
"C" loved the cat toss game from her party last year and requested
this game - she planned it out and we made it.
"Fishing" for felt bean bag fish.
Homemade fishing poles made from 5-gallon paint stir sticks
(less than a dollar each at Walmart in the paint aisle) with
yarn and a fridge magnet tied to it.
Homemade felt bean bag fish (with magnets hidden inside)
"C" requested another rice sensory table like we had for
her Pink Kitty party last year...
So we went with a winter themed sensory box...
"C" setting up the winter play sensory box before the party.
The winter sensory box with pillow stuffing and white rice.
You can see our homemade winter play mat on the floor.
The girls went "ice fishing" in the upstairs bathtub.
We added ice cubes and homemade craft foam fish (with paperclips)
to catch with our homemade fishing poles.
Just like we did for C's Pirates and Mermaids themed third birthday party...
do you remember that one?
We made a double batch of white Snow play-dough with silver glitter
and had a play-dough table in the art studio with snowflake cookie cutters.
We used THIS Recipe from the Ten Kids and a Dog blog.
My homemade felt penguin masks and the igloo fort were a big hit as well!

Hi Nikki,
The sensory table is the Step 2 Artic Splash Water Table. We bought it at Toys R Us two years ago. We mostly use it as an indoor sensory table but drag it out on the porch or set it up in the kitchen with water when we want to use it as a water table. : )

Rifle's next city manager is very familiar not only with the building and staff; he's had a hand in many of the top issues over the last 11 years.
Assistant City Manager Matt Sturgeon is negotiating a contract with the city to succeed John Hier, who is retiring in May after nine years.
Sturgeon was the only in-house applicant to apply for the position after Hier announced his plans to retire last month. City Council agreed to negotiate with Sturgeon and not advertise the position at its March 6 meeting.
"I'm very happy with what Matt's done for the city," said Mayor Pro Tem Alan Lambert. "If you look around Rifle, I don't think there's much that's been accomplished that doesn't have Matt's hand in it. I don't think we could do much better than him."
Council met in a closed door executive session after their meeting to provide direction to City Attorney Jim Neu in negotiating with Sturgeon. A contract is expected to be on the council's March 20 agenda for approval.
Sturgeon has worked at City Hall for the last 11 years, first as planning director and then assistant city manager for six years. He came to Rifle from Pueblo, where he was the Pueblo County senior planner.
Sturgeon received a political science degree from the University of California at Irvine, where he met his wife, Kelley.
"I'd taken some classes in planning, but I also looked at being a teacher or a lawyer," Sturgeon said in a Monday, March 11 interview at city hall. "So I looked around and found a degree in urban and regional planning."
He then began to work on his master's degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo College, but left when he was offered the job in Pueblo.
Sturgeon noted planners often move into management positions, and added Hier did the same thing.
"You get exposed to almost all aspects of city operations," Sturgeon said. "Streets, parks, sewer, water, they're all included in the projects planners handle. About the only thing you don't deal with is budgets, but I've been on the city budget committee as assistant city manager for the last six years."
Budgeting can be frustrating, Sturgeon added.
"When I first came here, they were spending the last of their oil shale reserves," Sturgeon recalled. "The last four or five years have been frustrating, too, but that pales in comparison to what we went through during the [oil shale] bust."
But, Sturgeon noted those times and issues are also when the job is most challenging and fulfilling.
"It's like puzzles and I've also liked puzzles," he said. "Making things fit together so the whole thing works."
Sturgeon said the city council recently went through an extensive strategic planning session that set the city's goals, and one of his first challenges will deal with staffing.
"We had [former government affairs coordinator] Mike Braaten leave [for a job on the Front Range], there's my position as assistant city manager and Aleks [Briedis, the city's recreation director] is leaving, too," he said.
Sturgeon said he will look at the city's organization and see how best to fill the vacancies.
"We may end up with one parks and recreation director instead of one of each," he added.
The project Sturgeon said he is "pretty proud" of having a hand in helping develop was the civic center plaza. The Garfield County Regional Library District was going to build a new library on East Second Street, but Sturgeon and others with the city worked with the library district on the plaza instead.
"I think the city's way of evaluating things led the library board to have the confidence in moving that forward," he said. "It wasn't originally what they had in mind."
That project is also an example of the cooperation Rifle has had with other governmental entities, which is often the opposite in other locations, Sturgeon noted.
"That's another thing I like about Rifle," he said. "We don't go through the trials and tribulations a lot of cities do. We cooperate and don't get caught up in how do we get there. We get things done."
Sturgeon, who will be 43 years of age in May, and his wife, Kelley, have two children. Makenna is 14 and Carter is 12.
Sturgeon said he and his family are pleased they will be staying in Rifle.
"We enjoy the community and I see only positive things ahead," he added.

I despise search in outlook. I have the must frustrating time finding messages because searches just simply suck.
Example I was communicating back and forth with this one person about a potential typo on a product. I know we both specifically used the word typo... but even if not assumed that searching for typo would find the "conversation"
Instead, search results for typo only find the messages that I send, not any of the replies from the person I discussed with. If I search the trash for the same thing I still cannot find the message (reply) from the person I was talking too.
If I use zimbra desktop client I can perform the same search and it will find the message I was looking for... and even better it finds the whole conversation so I can see my messages sent and all the replies grouped in a thread.
Is there a way to make outlook search actually not suck??

In response to tcal2-'s comment:
I'm expecting nothing. This way if he contributes I'll be pleasantly surprised and if he doesn't, so what.
That's actually a good way to view life.
Ras played up until his final year at Virginia virtually injury free, was durable and talented. Saying the Pat's should have tested him for injury or done more towards due diligence is idiotic. How do you test for torn thigh muscles or displaced hip injury, the short answer is you don't. The guy is a tall corner, these guys are very easy to injure. He may never stay healthy, the football gods will decide...

One of the big topics on the agenda of the LuVerne Board of Education last week was discussing public input from the Jan. 31 meeting in Corwith, where the LuVerne and Corwith-Wesley boards presented information and answered questions on their plans to enter into a whole-grade sharing agreement with Algona or West Hancock in 2014.
The C-W board had two members present in LuVerne last week.
"All in all, I think the board felt the Jan. 31 meeting went very well and we had good discussion," School superintendent Tom Fey said.
"The board commented several times how positive the community members were and as we know, sometimes meetings like this can get ugly at times and ours did not," Fey said.
Since the districts are exploring whole-grade sharing involving middle school and high school, one of the proposals being considered is to close the Corwith building and house elementary students in the LuVerne building.
But before the boards make a final decision on which building to retain, they will be looking for an outside consultant to make a recommendation after an in-depth study.
Fey reported he has asked an architect from Mason City to conduct a facilities analysis of both the LuVerne and Corwith school buildings to determine which building would best suit housing an elementary school over the long-term.
"Selecting the proper building will be an issue to some people and so we are going to have an architect go through both buildings and conduct a facilities analysis for us to determine which building is better suited for grades K-6. We want them to look at the structure of both facilities, the boiler, the roof, the room sizes and room availability, and lots of other things of importance," Fey said.

|Sold out by the RRWCD
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
In June of 2009, an extremely lucrative contract was quietly signed between the Cure Land Co. LLC and the Republican River Water Conservation District (RRWCD). It was then delivered to the Yuma County recorder's office in Wray without fanfare or much public notice.
Only recently has this document surfaced for further public review. And it should prove beyond a doubt what a growing number of people in northeastern Colorado have been saying for years: The RRWCD is broken beyond repair.
The greatest natural resource of northeastern Colorado is the Ogallala Aquifer. Comparable in size to Lake Erie, this vast underground water reserve supports hundreds of communities and businesses, all anchored by a booming agricultural industry. This finite resource must be protected and conserved rather than sold, rented or given away without a fight.
Apparently that message has been lost on the RRWCD, which has steadily amassed a debt fast approaching $100 million while continuing to make questionable decisions on taxes, contracts, construction projects and a myriad of other financial issues.
What follows is a brief description of the district's 2009 water deal with the Cure family.
Despite what many residents believed was a $49.1 million water deal for the Cure's 58 irrigation wells north of Wray in 2008, a deal we were told would satisfy Republican River Compact compliance, the RRWCD board signed another contract with the Cures in 2009 that, among other things, guaranteed the Cures the right to continue irrigated farming operations from those same wells until such time the State of Kansas agreed to credit Colorado's pipeline delivery of water into the North Fork of the Republican.
Didn't we purchase those wells for water conservation and compact compliance?
But there's more. During the first year of this supplemental contract in what can only be described as a sweetheart deal, the RRWCD agreed to charge the Cures only $1,000 for the full use of those previously purchased wells. Then the Cures were given an annual fixed water rate of roughly $450,000 over the next 16 years.
More, the RRWCD contractually agreed to lobby the federal government at our expense for an additional $17 million in CREP payments on behalf of the Cures for payments these wells clearly were not qualified to receive, based on the criteria of the federal CREP Program itself. More, the supplemental contract stipulates that the Cures can continue to irrigate from those wells until Kansas accepts delivery of water from the Ogallala Aquifer from our side of the border.
News flash to the RRWCD: It's the same aquifer you are depleting in order to dump water into a dry streambed that will meander 200 miles through Nebraska before it reaches Kansas for what we hope will be counted toward compact compliance. Ever heard of evaporate and seepage?
It's also important to note that between 1995 and 2011, the Cures have received more than $10 million in federal tax subsidies through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Combined with the windfall they have received from local taxpayers through the RRWCD, the Cures have now pocketed well over $55 million in public money. And they want more.
About that pipeline constructed by the RRWCD: The project should have been christened the "Albatross" shortly after the ribbon-cutting ceremony and after all those fine speeches delivered by dignitaries who congratulated each other for doing such a fine job of managing this region's greatest natural resource. Unfortunately, no one mentioned the massive debt that was piled on the rest of us. Why spoil the party, right?
So just how ridiculous has this situation become? A spokesman for the Sandhills Groundwater Management District, which controls the spigots on those 58 wells, assured me that the pipeline will never be used until Kansas agrees that every single gallon of water will be credited toward compact compliance. So far that's the only water district in the state that has shown any common sense.
Meanwhile, Kansas remains silent, and it tries to keep a straight face while watching the three-ring circus unfolding to the west.
During the public comment portion of the RRWCD's meeting last week, the board's legal counsel, David Robbins, was asked several times about the wisdom of signing a 17-year water contract, even though Kansas has never indicated that it would credit compliance through the pipeline.
Has anyone at the RRWCD, he was asked, considered the possibility that water is a commodity whose value will most certainly rise over the next decade, according to virtually every resource manager and commodity broker in the nation?
And what about your contractual agreement to run interference for the Cures in Washington, D.C., lobbying for yet another pile of taxpayer money?
"It is what it is," Robbins replied smugly.
What it is, Mr. Robbins, is an absolute disservice to the residents of northeastern Colorado, as we watch a non-elected group of Big Shots squander the only natural resource we have out here. What it is, Mr. Robbins, is massive debt that local citizens and landowners cannot afford. What it is, Mr. Robbins, is the appearance of yet another backroom deal that ultimately benefits only one farming operation in northeastern Colorado with millions and millions of taxpayer dollars.
That's exactly what it is, Mr. Robbins. And some type of oversight of the RRWCD is desperately needed.

Because her mother did not allow Tyson or her brother and sister to go to the movies, she would also spend Saturday evenings at the church. She graduated from Charles Evans Hughes High School and went on to land a secretarial job with the Red Cross, until one day, as show business legend has it, Tyson stood up from her desk and shouted "I'm certain God didn't intend me to sit at a typewriter."

Ned Yost media session: April 14
Prior to Thursday's 7:10 p.m. first pitch against the Seattle Mariners at Kauffman Stadium, Royals manager Ned Yost shared with the media his optimism about getting Robinson Tejeda healthy and placing Blake Wood into the Royals' bullpen mix. Tejeda is suffering from rotator cuff fatigue and some inflammation but Yost is confident that with rest, a cortisone shot which he received today and extensive strengthening programs, that he will be back to join the squad shortly.
Wood was recalled from Omaha (AAA) to take Tejeda's spot. Yost commented that the Georgia Tech product is talented, fits in well with the bullpen, and had a solid spring training. Wood made 51 appearances out of the pen for KC last year after making his Major League debut on May 12, 2010 vs. Cleveland.
The Royals skipper spoke about tonight's starting pitcher Bruce Chen and hopes for a great outing as the lefty goes up against the Mariners. He compliments Chen's strategy of keeping the ball down and changing speeds effectively. Yost, after being asked a question regarding what he likes about how his club is doing in the early going, acknowledged that the squad has been simply doing well at playing baseball. The team has shown great defense (after committing 5 errors in first 2 games, team has made just 3 in last 9), excellent base-running, good hitting, and an exciting, young bullpen. He also said there's no replacement for talent and the club has a lot of talented players.

Man charged with lewd and lascivious molestation
Published: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 2:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 2:41 p.m.
OCALA - A 68-year-old Summerfield man who authorities say admitted to inappropriate activities with a 5-year-old boy was arrested Monday and charged with lewd and lascivious molestation.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office received a report late last month about a man possibly molesting a boy. The boy was interviewed at Kimberly's Center for Child Protection and described occasions where Timothy Robert Dacey molested him and showed him pornographic materials.
Detective Rhonda Stroup interviewed Dacey, who denied touching the minor but said he may have been flipping through channels when a naked woman popped up. No pornographic materials were found on Dacey's phone or computer.
Dacey agreed to take a polygraph examination Monday but, before doing so, told the examiner multiple stories about he and the boy being together. He said even though it was "mostly my fault," he also blamed the boy, according to reports.
Dacey was confronted by the detective and admitted touching the boy inappropriately. He was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail, where he remained Tuesday afternoon on $15,000 bond.
