The 47th Annual Portland Swap MeetWritten by on September 2, 2011 Shopping For Pieces, Parts and Pickups
To paraphrase a famous phrase, "in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of swap meets," except for the young part that pretty well describes us. Sure, we could have spent the first weekend in April working on the projects we already have, but for some reason it just seemed like heading to the annual Portland Swap Meet made more sense.
Swap meets are great for finding those missing parts for a current project, or coming home with a new one, selling parts you don't need or moving a completed project to make room for another. There's even something about a swap meet that gets the creative juices flowing even if you come home empty handed.
Of course, for those of us in the business there are other things to be found at a big swap meet such as Portland, namely indications of the health of the hobby and the direction it is heading. Certainly this year's event reinforced our belief that the truck market is one of the strongest of the automotive hobbies. Truck sales were strong, lots of parts changed hands and the vendors we talked to were doing well. But then for anyone looking for new parts a swap meet is a perfect place to buy them as dealers often offer discounts and there are no freight charges.
One of the trends that was obvious soon as we walked through the gate is perhaps the worst kept secret on the planet—C10 Chevys are hot! There were more Chevy trucks of all descriptions and more Chevy parts than all others combined. That being said, we still found some good deals on trucks that couldn't be built for their asking price. That's not to say there weren't some crazy price tags, there were, but the serious sellers seemed to be realistic in their expectations.
When it comes to popularity F-100s are still high up on the list and F-1s are getting close—we base this on prices of complete trucks and parts we found and of course the more popular the truck the more expensive it will be. But then we always have had a soft spot for the oddballs. Lets face it, making a C10 or an F-100 into a cool truck isn't that big of a challenge, but make a head-turner out of the '49 Dodge shown here and you've really done something. How about stuffing in a new Hemi, drop it so the running boards are on the ground, chop the top and section the bed? Or give that Studebaker the sleeper treatment—original on the outside, slip in an Avanti-style supercharged engine, add independent suspension all around with big, fat, sticky tires on steel wheels with stock hubcaps?
While wandering around the expanse of the Portland swap meet with our buddies lots of wacky ideas cropped up and were tossed around (yes, the Dodge and the Studebaker are examples). We sold a few parts, found a few we needed (and a couple we really didn't) to haul home and bought a couple new parts from the array of vendors. There were several projects we were tempted by and some finished trucks that were hard to pass up. But that's the great thing about swap meets you can do all those things or none of them. In any case we'll be there again next April 13, 14, and 15 and so should you. CCT

Somebody got a good deal. This '78 Chevy C10 was said to run and drive great, was equipped with a 350/350 combo and the body looked very straight and rust-free; it went to a new owner for $2,750.This '66 Ford F-100 was a body-off build. Straight sheetmetal with nice paint, the chassis has been equipped with dropped axles with power steering. Power comes from a 351 coupled to a C4 trans. This truck would be hard to duplicate for the $18,500 asking price .One of the nicest C10s we found was this clean '68. With what looked to be recent paint it was equipped with a 350/350 engine and trans combo, a 3.09:1 rear and a price tag of $17,000.Trucks like this '62 Chevy are great projects. Complete and solid enough to drive as-is it can be fixed up as time and money allow. This one sold quickly, probably a good thing for us.Abandoned projects can be a good buy if what's been done was proper. This '56 Chevy small-window lacked an engine and trans but did have a nicely done Camaro front clip and rear suspension. Asking price was $6,500.We didn't see a price on this Dodge cabover but it has possibilities. The Chevy engine was mounted behind the sleeper, and the frame has been Z'd.Panel trucks from '47 to '53 are becoming rare; this one was all original and carried an $8,000 price tag.Asking price on this '55 was $4,000. Under the peeling paint was a reasonably sound other than the banged up grille and busted windshield. Chevrolet produced the "First Series" trucks through most of March of that year before the new "Second Series" was introduced.
There were a number of project trucks available, this '56 Chevy Big-Window had some minor rust, some sort of clip with dropped spindles up front and a 12-bolt posi rear. Rear glass was included for $3,800.Here's a truck that makes it hard to decide weather to build or buy. This '57 Chevrolet has undergone a frame-up restoration and looked it. Asking price was $22,500.Rusty but probably savable, the owner of this '65 Ford Econoline was asking $1,500. We wonder if everyone has the same thought about these as we do. How 'bout a mid-engine big-block with a blower?If you were looking for something different, here it is. With a reported 46,207 original miles, this '49 Pilot House Dodge was restored 10 years ago; $11,900 was the asking price.It seemed like $12,500 was the standard asking price for a nice truck. This '61 Chevy had two-stage paint, factory gauge package, tilt-tele column and a rebuilt small-block 350 and 350 turbo.In the dare to be different category we offer this '57 Studebaker with a 259-inch V-8 and three-speed overdrive. It was said to have been purchased from the original owner; it was priced at $3,800.This F-100 cab and front clip were in extremely nice shape. For $950 they could save anyone with a rough truck considerable time and money. On the other hand, with the reproduction frames available it could be a great start on a cool truck.An old COE, like this '41 Ford, on a late chassis make great haulers. Unfortunately, most of these trucks have had a rough life. But then if it were easy, everyone would do it, right?

|Holyoke FCCLA members dream, design, deliver
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
"Dream, Design and Deliver" was this year's statewide theme for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, and the Holyoke chapter members have created quite the masterpiece.
They celebrated their accomplishments at the annual member recognition program Monday, April 29 at Holyoke High School. Members, as well as their parents and other supporters, were recognized for their efforts this year.
Senior Molly Brandt was honored as FCCLA Member of the Year, as voted on by fellow chapter members.
Recognition of Superior Effort is rewarded each year in the FCCLA ROSE awards. To receive a ROSE award, members must earn 75 percent of the total points possible throughout the year. Points are earned by participation at chapter events, many of which are out-of-school activities.
FCCLA members who received ROSE awards for Recognition of Superior Effort at Monday night's award program are pictured, from left, Luke Stewart, Dani Brandt, Brenda Hernandez, Alex Yanez, Ana Olivas and Rubi Canales; and back row, Megan Vieselmeyer, Molly Brandt, Ben Martinez, Erin Vieselmeyer, Trevor Dalton, Anastasia Conklin and Logan Tharp.
Seniors Erin Vieselmeyer, Ben Martinez and Molly Brandt were recognized as four-year ROSE award winners and were applauded for their outstanding contributions to FCCLA.
Juniors earning ROSE awards were Trevor Dalton, Brenda Hernandez and Logan Tharp.
Sophomore ROSE award winners were Rubi Canales, Anastasia Conklin, Ana Olivas, Luke Stewart and Megan Vieselmeyer.
Freshmen earning ROSE awards, including a letter jacket patch, were Dennis Amaya, Dani Brandt and Alex Yanez.
Friends of FCCLA are those who have helped the FCCLA chapter and individual teams be successful.
New Friends of FCCLA this year included Cutter Garrison, Tracy Trumper and Bob and Brenda Brandt.
Garrison and his 2012-13 weight class helped with the chapter service project display team's "Community Up-Lift" project. He guided the weightroom renovation, advising the chapter service team on the project and collaborating with the chapter to help fundraise.
Trumper was a supportive resource for the national program in action and chapter service team. She supported the fitness challenge and helped on the wellness committee, providing ideas and opportunities.
The Brandts were recognized for their assistance as chaperones for state conference and for their support throughout the year in facilitating fundraisers and events and helping the chapter achieve a successful state conference.
New Friends of FCCLA were named at Monday night's awards program.
Chapter success at the recent state leadership conference was reviewed, and adviser Karen Pieper reported seven members will be representing Holyoke FCCLA at the national leadership conference in Nashville, Tenn., in July. They will compete in two different STAR events.
Audi Peña, Brittney Prottsman and Anastasia Conklin highlighted FCCLA's activities for the 2012-13 year by presenting their chapter showcase manual.
New officers for 2013-14 were installed at Monday night's program.
Officers are Brenda Hernandez, president and district representative; Megan Vieselmeyer, vice president; Alex Yanez, secretary; Ana Olivas, treasurer; Anastasia Conklin, reporter; Rubi Canales, historian; Luke Stewart, parliamentarian; and Dani Brandt, Student Council representative.
Chapter parents for the next year include Erik and Michelle Vieselmeyer, Mario and Carmen Hernandez, Troy and Mardi Stewart and Jerry and Debbie Brandt.
Project managers—parents and supporters who act as a guiding light for the chapter throughout the year—were also recognized Monday.
They were Erik and Michelle Vieselmeyer, Bob and Brenda Brandt, Jeff and Theresa Tharp, Shawn and Marcia Dalton and Dan and Susan Ortner.

Outgoing president Ben Martinez paid tribute to the FCCLA opportunities that have led him to dream big and the projects and workshops that have taught him that nothing is impossible.
He acknowledged the support of Principal Susan Ortner, adviser Karen Pieper, fellow FCCLA members and parents as he passed the gavel on to 2013-14 president Brenda Hernandez.
Grabbing the presidential reins with gusto, Hernandez assured those gathered Monday night that she will dedicate herself to her position.
She said she is ready to design an FCCLA chapter that is full of exciting new adventures. "I know that with my whole team, we can sculpt an FCCLA chapter where our dreams become realities," said Hernandez in closing.

At least he has on white shoes unlike the black ones he wore with the white outfit in Miami.ReplyDelete
I'm begging the color gods to rain paint down all over him - like Nole/Flashdance style right...on...the...court.ReplyDelete

text: I usually use a cow elk in heat wafer strapped to my hat, but in all reality I think if the wind is not right they are going to smell you either way. Another downfall to the cow elk scent is that it is sometimes hard for pick up the real thing as easy because I am always smelling elk on myself. I think if you were set up in a blind where you might want a bull to stop, the wafer hung in a tree or bush may work pretty well.

Cost of backup can be reduced up to 40% with an effective archive solution
At last week's IBM Information Management on Demand (IOD) event in Las Vegas, Michael Barton (Product Marketing Manager, IBM Tivoli Storage Software) presented "All-in-One file archiving with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery –Archive Option." IOD was attended by more than 12000 attendees and kicked off on October 21 with the General Session featuring analytics and big data, and continuing all week with keynote sessions on Business leadership, Information management, Business analytics and Enterprise content management.
Tivoli Storage was front and center at IOD with both Michael Barton's TSM SUR – Archive presentation, as well as presence in the IBM booth focused on IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center's storage analytics engine and capabilities.
Key insights into Mike's presentation:
- One of the analyst said 40 percent of the planet's data should be archived, or moved out of the production environment. That seems reasonable. Applications simply run better with less data to manage.
- Using a backup system for archiving can off-load production systems, but can cause bloat in the backup environment, and make your data harder to find.
- With the rapid growth of unstructured file data, the benefits of an effective file archiving solution are becoming more apparent. Bloated file servers and NAS systems can impact productivity for users, administrators and backup processes. Archiving can reduce requirements for power, cooling and floor space.
- Industry analysts estimate the cost of backup can be reduced up to 40% with an effective archive solution. IBM's approach to file archiving implements policy-based tiered storage, so large numbers of files can be managed effectively.
Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery (TSM SUR) Archive solution enables a simple, scalable solution that can significantly reduce costs for file storage. This solution supports information lifecycle management for efficient, long-term data retention
Want to know how you can save money using Tivoli for Archive?
• Reduces the space required for archive data up to 50%, using deduplication and compression
• Enables migration of archived data between storage tiers and storage systems without disrupting users or applications
o Easier to retire old systems
o Supports decades-long retention times
• Expands without complexity, using policy-based administration

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Authorities say a District of Columbia man has pleaded guilty to killing his then-girlfriend's 20-month-old son earlier this year.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington says 28-year-old Jonathan Fullard pleaded guilty Friday in D.C. Superior Court to second-degree murder. According to court documents Fullard was babysitting his former girlfriend's son, Keyontae Osbia Moore, when the toddler stopped breathing.
The toddler was taken to the hospital but later died. Police say an autopsy determined the cause of death was blunt-force trauma. According to a charging document, Fullard admitted that he struck the child five to six times.
Fullard faces a sentence of up to 40 years in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 30.

Hi EA_CNet,
I apologize for your experience thus far. If you could post your transaction number, I'd like to see if my counterparts in the UK can research this issue for you.
HD Tech
Hi All,
I have decided that Samsung are a horrendous product company. The products do come across as nice and they do use bleeding edge tech, but at the same time, I have found they are not reliable and customer/technical services are just as bad!
Item 1: Samsung ultraportable laptop (next step up from a netbook). Freezes randomly (even the mouse won't work)_ requires hard reset. Problem about a year after purchase.
Item 2: Samsung Galaxy S2. Samsung Kies is an unbelievably rubbish piece of software. The drivers especially are unstable. I connect to my PC and 19 times out of 20 I get "Hardware ID missing". If there is a problem with the firmware, I can't upgrade my phone because... Hardware ID is missing. Other forums have no solution but to "keep unplugging and plugging in and it might work on the 100th time". In any case, whilst the Windows OS will recognise the devices, Kies itself will not. It just churns and if it does finally manage to connect, I can't back up anything, sync anything or do anything with it. Pathetic piece of software.
Item 3: 7 month old Samsung TV, model UE32EH5000K. TV keeps switching itself off and on. This has been asked elsewhere on the web and there are no solutions anywhere. I conacted Samsung support and was told to upgrade the firmware. Afterwards, same problem. Sumsung support then claim it needs a repair, then tell me the TV is too big for them to action a repair and to contact an authorised service centre using 'the link below' (without giving me a link), but then tell me that the TV is too small to be collected by a service centre!?! How can this be? Too big for Samsung to collect and too small for an authorised Samsung Service centre to collect. You couldn't make this up! :-S
So I have actually now got to take it to the service centre to get it repaired and given the experiences of other customers on here, it won't fix the problem longer term. So I definitely say avoid Samsung products as a whole. I can't believe I have three products all of which have problems and the technical services departments can't solve them. It's disgraceful. Given I work in tech, when asked, my recommendations will be to consider all other options first and avoid Samsung if possible. 3 out of 3 failures is not impressive

Nursing homes - I know they're necessary when care gets beyond what a family can do, but everyone tries to stay in their own home as long as they can. This same couple I was talking about, the partner who collapsed was just advised that his partner with Parkinsons really needs to go into Hospice. The disease has progressed so. The sad (?) part is that it hasn't affected his mind at all, he's still as sharp as ever. How sad it is to get to that point, as with those in your families, when your body just fails you, and you know all to well what lies ahead.

I hate to say - That's Ache's term for us - the nicest version is "Old Broad Nation". In earlier years he used to have a different term for the "B". I put "affectionately" in the verse just to get a rise out of Ache. We have a long standing back and forth banter. Sometimes he stays within the limits of acceptability, and unfortunately other times he steps over the line. You never know - as Loretta LaRoche says.

OMG, tt. That is just awesome. The OBN version on Danny Boy.
I do remember so fondly, when you penned poems here. It looks like the bad boys and girls have mellowed. Won't you please take it up again here? I have saved all your pens for my BDs. I take them out every so often, and nod my head, "Yeah! That tt, is a real good friend". I feel blessed to know you, even though it is only here.
On a more serious note, how is the gentleman doing? Have the docs figured out, what is wrong?
Came home early today. My wireless keyboard and mouse gave me trouble all day. I guess they need new batteries. I finally gave up and decided - enough is enough.
Bought some nice shrimps on my way home for Pho tonight. What is on your plates?
Re: February 2013

Nothing on my plate, but cabbage soup in my bowl again! Had an orange muffin to go with. Last week my GD had emailed and thought of stopping in with pumpkin (didn't materialize because he was so uncomfortable teething), but I realized about supper time that should they come - no cookies in the house. What's a GGma's house without cookies for little boys. Pulled out a raisin crisp recipe and made half with raisins and half without. Love the flavor, but they are probably too crispy/crunchy for the little guy. Have brownies in the freezer, and not going to worry about it, because 9 to 10 they won't come tomorrow, I haven't heard anything from her this week that would lead me to believe they are.
Haven't heard anything as yet about our friend. I'll give G.T. a call around 7:00 and see what he's heard. Such a sad state of affairs, for both gentlemen.
ETA: 7:00 no news. Caught G.T. just as he was coming out of the gym, so hasn't been home yet to catch up. Friends have been in to see friend at hospital and he seems fine today, anxious to go home, but of course they're not going to let him until they find out just what happened. There may have been an MRI done this afternoon.

Good morning everyone. tt, hope pumplkin pays you a visit soon. I fondly remembering taking my DS, which my mom called pumpkin, over to visit his nana. She too always had cookies. She watched him for us when I went back to work from 2:00-6:00 for the first 2.5 years of his life. They have a wonderful bond because of that.

Winter, there is a program out there called "Home Instead", it probably would cost as much or maybe a bit less than a nursing home.....health care workers come to your home and help out the one who needs them. my friend wenet from owning 2 homes (one here and 1 in Florida) to none, lived with her daughter and then went into assisted living (costs a small fortune), was talking to her yesterday and altho someone cleans her apt., and her meals are furnished, its not the same.....tough decision...ss

Good morning,
Icer, did you see the pic of Ernie Boch posted down in the "Talk to BDC" thread by Ache? Looks amazingly like Adam on Y&R, doesn't he? Speaking of which, I like that he and Sharon are getting back together, for now at least, always felt they played off each other good. Did you see yesterday's with Lily all green-eyed because her father hired Chelsea who turns to Kane for every move? Of course it's OK for Lily to be flirting with Tyler.
Nothing further on our friend, so they are probably still testing. Worried about his partner and what happened as far as his care last night. He can't manage any task on his own. Perhaps a relative spent the night. This is probably cementing the idea of his having to go to Hospice.
Appt this morning and then will check around to see if GD and pumpkin have plans to stop by. Want to get a few more groceries in and Wednesday is usually a good day to hit S&S.
No posting from Kargiver yesterday or yet this morning, hope she isn't down with a migraine.
Have to get around, will stop in later in the day. Have a good one.
Re: February 2013

Thanks ss, however, she does need 24 hour care, and that is something that would cost a great deal of money. None of us are able to provide her with 24 hour care, so a nursing home is probably best. Assisted living is not in the budget.

Hi, Winter. I'm back. GD and pumpkin came by around 11:30. She and I had cabbage soup and I sent the rest home with her. Pumpkin opted just for applesauce, so sent the cookies along home with them too.
I'm going to run up to S&S and pick up a few things. Hope you find something good for lunch. I'm going to be looking for a quick and easy supper for me at the store.

Lunch was a small cup of broccoli and cheddar soup and a fresh mozzarella sandwich with pesto sauce lettuce and tomato.
Glad you got to see pumpkin, he must be getting so big. When is she due with pumpkin number 2?

Hi, guys, sorry for the absense - I did get behind yesterday after my appointment, shopping, and lunch out. Then, this morning, my walk friend came over to have tea, and we visited all morning. So, am further behind on the chores, but that's OK. I'm about to head out with Gracie to walk despite not feeling like I really have time; she's been sleeping most of the day.
tt, praying the best for your friend who collapsed and his partner who cannot manage alone. That is all very scary.

Quite a few had the same idea - but now my shopping's done. Didn't come up with anything creative for supper, so since I had substantial soup at lunch, bought some Deutschmaker balogna, scali bread, and relish to have a nice thick sandwich. Along with a couple of chips and a beer - sounds good to me.
Glad your absence wasn't due to a migraine, Kargiver. Some days there's just not much to talk about, or not much time to get on the boards. Speaking of tea, no Irish Breakfast at S&S. Their tea counter was pretty well emptied. Could have run up to Job Lots and Target, but that extra zip of energy isn't there this afternoon.
Pumpkin is changing - his blue blue eyes today were more hazel, and his blond hair is darkening. He jabbers away, but not regular talk, a jibber jabber of talk that all begins with "D", and a few hand gestures (thrown up in the air like "what are you gonna do?") thrown in! LOL Had arranged a barn with animals for him to play with - he went right to the hall and began bringing out the cat food cans, one by one for me to pile up. Same game he has always played here, only in the beginning it was bring a can out and throw it!
ETA: Just noticed your question about GD's due date - July. She looks and feels great.

Thanks, tt - I should have checked in, but the day got away from me, and not from anything interesting that's for sure. ;)
That sandwich, chips, and beer sound delectable right now - a perfect PMS meal, LOL. (That's another reason for my absence...so bloated and teary.)
Too bad your tea was gone - that's one of my favs, too.
Had our walk despite feeling like crud. It was good for me nonetheless, and Gracie had a ball. There's a dirt road I take her leash off to walk, and she enjoys that the most. I'll be glad when the salt and sand is off the road; I have to wash her feet when we return so her pads don't get cracked from the salt, but she absolutely hates dipping her feet in the bucket.
Will be running the vac in a few minutes and doing a little dusting before putting turkey burgers together for tonight. Having a glass of wine first.

Good to hear from you, Kar. I somehow knew, what the matter was. So glad, I am over those days. But of course, then there are other problems.
Happy for you, tt, that your little pumpkin stopped by. Glad that your GD is still feeling well. July is a beautiful moth to have a new born.
My keybpard and mouse are still not working right even with all new batteries (I have a wireless keyborsd and mouse). So I got frustrated and left the office early. Making panfried filet of sole, with coleslaw and steamed snap peas tonight. DH will have remoulade with it; me just a tad.
Re: Gracies paws. Our dog hated to have her paws washed. It was a battle every time. Then we started to walk her up our driveway with her in the snow piles, that was just pure snow. That "washed off" the salt and the sand completely.

Thanks, Pingo.
After you changed the batteries, did you reboot the computer? Sounds crazy, but sometimes when you make a change like that it helps the computer recognize what you did. What a pain.
indeed, we have a long driveway we don't salt or sand, but somehow her feet tend to hang on to the gunk - between her toes, maybe? And, it's all splashed on her legs and underside, too, and she licks it off if I don't get it. Oh, well, she has it rough, lol.

Good morning all. Rainy day here - how 'bout you Kar, any snow?
DH and I were going to go away this weekend, just up to NH, but now I'm not sure with my Mom's surgery on Monday. We may just push it off until next weekend.
It was nice of your GD to stop by with pumpkin. What will you call the new lil guy?
Re: February 2013

Good morning,
all snow here - we have about an inch and it's still coming down.
why would your mom's surgery on Monday impact a weekend trip to NH? Better to go when being away won't stress you out, regardless, given it's supposed to be fun and relaxing. :)
Have plans to go East tomorrow for lunch with a girlfriend I worked with further east but now works in Framingham, about 30 min closer. However, depends on the roads/weather. Haven't seen her since November so I hope it's safe to travel.
will check the radar and see when I should shovel...
careful out there if you head out this way - it's a mess!

|Photo by psychedelys
Not sure if this is a Jewish-ism or a New Jersey-ism or just human nature - but I grew up hearing this saying: "Family is like fish, stinky after 3 days." It never really made much sense to me as a kid because from where I sat, the fish stank right from the get-go and I love my family. I still ate the fish, of course, especially the smoked sablefish and lox, in great quantities to give myself strength while I waited at the top of my grandma's stairs for the sound of the car doors slamming and my cousins spilling out from all sides. I'd shake with nervous excitement and three days with my family was never enough.
As I got older, the truism gained a bit more truth and no offense to my family (Hi Dad! Hi Brothers!) but there is a grain of salt on that stinky fish, even in my loving family. I've passed this wisdom on to my friends and some have repeated it like a mantra while discussing flight arrangements with their Aunt Edna or their estranged sister or even their dear mother who they genuinely enjoy in small titrated doses like homeopathic dilutions of familial bonding.
Others ignored this advice and woke up on the 4th day to their uncle's hardy back pats, their father's love of drink, or their cousin's taste in bad punk to a noxious smell - subtle at first, just enough to tilt their head into the wind to see where it was coming from - a smell that then builds quickly throughout the day crescendoing into a fetid cloud so bad you can almost hear it slap against your ear drums like some never filmed Monty Python skit where Michael Palin is beating John Cleese with a dead spawned-out salmon so smelly it could raise the dead.
That bad.
Thing is, the fish get a bad rap here when really what we mean to suggest is that humans can really stink sometimes, especially when they wear out their welcome. Good fish doesn't smell at all when you get it. You really have to break all the rules to get it to smell that bad after 3 days.
I want to suggest an amendment to the truism. It's a little wordy.
"Good family is like good fish, eh, maybe a little stinky after 3 days? Bad family is like bad fish, stinky from across the room the minute you see them."
I'm going on a Good Fish Book Tour. I'm getting in and getting out and my greatest ambition involves not leaving a trail of stink in my wake. Check back to this page as I will be updating it frequently, adding new info and new dates, each event under 3 days.

|Choirs entertain in fall concert
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
From musical theater to old time rock and roll, the high school, junior high and select choirs entertained audience members at their fall choral concert Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Musical theater kicked off the concert, and director Marcia Dalton explained many of the high school vocalists recently had the opportunity to see the musical "Wicked"—giving much more meaning to their performance selections from that popular show. The high school choir sang choral highlights from "Wicked" with a solo by Sarah Heermann on "The Wizard and I" and spoken solos by Ty Glittenberg and Morgan Dagel.
Other songs from "Wicked" included "I'm Not That Girl" performed by soloist Ella Stewart and "Popular" by soloist Nora Roth.
Up next was the junior high girls group singing "Inscription of Hope" with narrator Makayla Spitz and soloist Brittney Prottsman. The junior high boys group performed "Do Wah Diddy."
"Someday" (Esmeralda's Prayer) was sung by soloist Kaylee Groshans.
The junior high choir got the audience excited with their renditions of "I'm a Believer," "Like the Beat of a Drum" with soloists Hannah Gillmore, Kaety Overton, Kelsey Kramer, Makayla Spitz, Persha Mason and Cassidy Breathwit and "Jonas Brothers in Concert" with soloists Trevor Dalton, Brittney Prottsman, Megan Vieselmeyer and Hannah Gillmore.
"Lollipop," sung by the high school girls, had everyone laughing with solo lollipoppers José Jaquez and Jesus Hermosillo. Brian DeBoer provided piano accompaniment and small group vocalists were Jordan Zeiler, Megan Colglazier, Chandler Gerk, Natasha Peregoy, Ella Stewart and Camille Elliott.
The high school choir again took the stage for "Vida La Vida" and "Let There Be Peace" with soloists Severine Barras, Jessica Boring-Pell, Ella Stewart and Sarah Heermann.
Jordan Zeiler and Brooke Parker performed the duet "Do You Believe in Magic."
HHS select choir entertained with fun choreography and toe-tapping numbers. They performed some familiar tunes in their "Medley from Smokey Joe's Café" with narrators Camille Elliott and Nicole Brandt and soloists Jordan Zeiler, Nora Roth, Elissa Baker, Seth Baker and Ella Stewart. They concluded the evening concert with "Eleanor Rigby" and "Best Years of our Lives."
Pat Wiebers and Maury Kramer assisted with the select choir.

SACRAMENTO, CA - A Sacramento man faces a prison sentence of five to 20 years after pleading guilty to receiving child pornography.
Martinez police identified 66-year-old Alan Irwin Burnor when they observed his computer was offering child pornography via an online file sharing service and they could download child porn files from it, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of California. The Sacramento Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force joined the investigation and a warrant was obtained to search Burnor's home.
According to court documents, investigators recovered 100 video files and approximately 465 image files depicting toddlers and children being molested and abused from the suspect's computer. The files had been downloaded between July 23, 2010 and Oct. 16, 2011.
Sentencing for Burnor was set for Jan. 23, 2013.

The light-weight, unbelievably durable LEAP fan.
Carbon fiber is revolutionizing the aviation industry, and CFM is revolutionizing carbon fiber. Or at least one of its applications.
LEAP fan blades are manufactured from carbon fiber composites using a propriety process that weaves the blades in three dimensions on a loom into their final shape. They are then injected with resin and baked in an autoclave. Finally, a titanium leading edge is added for durability.
The result is a light weight, highly durable, virtually maintenance-free fan. The fan, combined with the composite fan case, reduces aircraft weight by 1,000 pounds compared to the same size fan manufactured using all-metal materials. This lower weight, along with state-of-the-art blade aerodynamic design, contributes nearly half of the 15 percent fuel efficiency improvement the LEAP engine will provide.
Another first. Another way CFM gives you more to believe in.


text: Let's face it, baldness sucks, but I wanted to do a list of thing I think I can improve to make myself too look better. First I think to look young just try to whear young ppl clothes you know cuz they see baldness as a sign of old let's prove them otherwise., second:workout, muscles can be a big + it will give you a more mainly look, woman also find muscler guys attractive, third: tanning, white skin is ugly with baldness, if you keep yourself Tane your empty head will look better. Another thing that can be a huge + is the beard, usually a shaved beard will add to the nothingness of the head, but too much of it will make you look like a freak, keep it short and try different styles, like the around mouth style or a little mustache can be good as well. You can try and grow a little the "ring" hair and keep it short to match it with the beard, you know sathem like. More suggestions?

Truck driver burned in crash on I-75
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 12:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 7:45 p.m.
A blown front tire caused a dump truck driver to lose control Thursday morning and the truck to hit a guardrail before it overturned and burst into flames, trapping the driver inside.
Photo Galleries
According to troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol, the 2006 Peterbuilt truck, driven by Keith Mahabirsingh, 56, was heading south on Interstate 75 near mile marker 346 when the tire blew out. The truck left the road and slammed into the guardrail, causing it to overturn on the driver's side. The truck burst into flames.
Motorists stopped and busted out the windows of the truck and pulled Mahabirsingh out, troopers said.
Brian Stoothoff, assistant fire chief with Ocala Fire Rescue, said his agency got a call at 11:32 a.m. and arrived within five minutes. He said Marion County Fire Rescue crews also responded and that together they all put out the fire.
Mahabirsingh was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville with burns over 50 percent of his body, Stoothoff said. A report from FHP noted that he was in serious condition.
The truck, which was destroyed, was hauling limerock. A sign on the side of the truck had the words "Brady Construction, Inc., of Ocala."

It has been reported on Yahoo and other outlets that Dempster didn't hit Arod because of his PED use, but because of Arod snubbing Dempster at a public event.
That alone is reason for putting the overpaid Canadian in the bullpen. If he was a good pitcher maybe it's okay, but Dempster is the worst of the Red Sox starters and shouldn't be putting anybody on base. He puts enough runners on base without trying.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 5 reviews.Rating: Great dive computer
I just purchased a brand new Wisdom 3 with the quick disconnect. The first dive it is leaking air like crazy. Any suggestions on a quick fix or do I need to send it back?
Can I get an instruction manual for a wisdom computer? There is a no. 004433 on back.
You might want to contact the manufacturer directly. http://www.sherwoodscuba.com/downloads.php
COMPUTERS: Wisdom 3 w/ Q/D hose and Compass
The Wisdom 3 continues the tradition of the Sherwood Scuba brand while offering new, enhanced features like full-time access to NDL regardless of ATR, Dive Time Remaining on main screen and when in Dive Mode you can see your available dive time whether limited by ATR or NDL.
• Expanded memory for dive profiles - access to up to 110 dives.
• Deep stop reminder – conforms to latest theories recommending deep stops for dives that exceed 80 feet.
• Intuitive 2-button operation.
• Air integrated feature – Display air supply remaining (PSI).
• Dive Time Remaining feature – calculates and displays dive time remaining based on current consumption rate or available no deco time remaining.
• Audible and visual alarms – diver selectable.
• DECO warnings and calculations.
• Air, Nitrox or Gauge operating modes.
• Metric or Imperial units.
• PC downloadable.
• Dive simulator: Walk yourself through any dive beforehand, and see your limits without getting wet.
• Repetitive dive planning: Use information from previous dives to see limitations of your next dive.
• Dive log: Stores profiles for later recall and viewing.
• Deco calculation: Calculates decompression stops to 60 feet.
• Audible and visual alarms.
• HydroGlow Screen illumination.
• Automatic altitude adjustment to 14,000 feet.
• User replaceable battery: Extended life battery and low battery indicator.
• Imperial or metric units.
When I think of dive computers, the first thing I factor in is how lazy I am. These days I dive to relax. Calm water. Nice day. Colorful fishies. I'm there. If a gentle breeze blows a ripple across the water's surface, it's too rough for me to make a beach entry. I figure in a little over 30 years in our sport, I've earned the right to be picky and lazy.
So when I choose a dive computer I want it to give me what I need to know without any effort what so ever. How much air do I have left, how deep am I right now, and how long until I have to get out of the water? The Wisdom dive computer gives me this info in LARGE, BOLD NUMBERS. Even if I'd not been in the water in awhile they are so blatantly situated on the main screen of the computer that you can't possibly have trouble finding them. Add to that the color coded bar graphs backing up that information, indicating your nitrogen/oxygen loading and your ascent rate, both situated in easy to see spots around the perimeter of the computer and you have the ultimate lazy diver's dive computer.
Every other feature you desire in a high-end dive computer is there as well. Log book will track up to 50 dives. It's PC downloadable, back lit, and very simple to program. There's quite a list of things you can program to customize the computer to yourself as well. Low tank pressure alarm, turn around gas pressure alarm, depth alarm, ascent rate alarm are all very easy to set. And of course, my favorite. No alarms at all. You can set the sampling rate of the unit (a faster sampling rate tends to eat more memory space, giving you fewer dives logged), metric or imperial readings and your gas mixtures with equal ease. It comes in a variety of configurations as well; with a compass, with a quick disconnect, with both the compass and quick disconnect or just as the computer and the hose alone!
All in all, this computer has all the bells and whistles the sport diver would ever need!

Air cargo/global logistics: IATA reports "ash crisis" caused decline in cargo sector
May 28, 2010
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced international scheduled air traffic results for April 2010, noting that international scheduled cargo traffic saw the pace of its recovery slow to 25.2 percent growth.
"The ash crisis knocked back the global recovery - impacting carriers in all regions," said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA's director general and CEO.
Although less dramatically hurt than passenger traffic, the global cargo sector took a significant hit.
The global purchasing managers' index rose to its second highest level ever in April, indicating that the fundamentals of the air freight business were not affected by the crisis. We are, however, nearing the end of the inventory cycle and would expect freight growth to slow down over the rest of the year.
The scale of the ash crisis saw global load factors drop to 76.9 percent from the 78.0 percent recorded in March. Freight load factors also dipped to 55.3 percent from the 57.1 percent recorded in the previous month. While March traffic was within 1 percent of pre-crisis levels for both passenger and cargo, this slipped to 7 percent for passenger and 3 percent for cargo in April.
Looking ahead, Bisignani challenged Europe to reform its air traffic management.
"The ash crisis was an embarrassing wake-up call for European governments. We need leadership to deliver the Single European Sky, fair passenger rights legislation and continent-wide coordination," said Bisignani.

Paul (2011)
Paul Synopsis
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever.
For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town -- a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost).
Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.
Paul is directed by Superbad's Greg Mottola, from a story by Pegg & Frost. Joining the comedy's cast are Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Joe Lo Truglio, John Carroll Lynch, David Koechner and Sigourney Weaver.

Southern Miss has been playing very good basketball lately, especially on the defensive end. The match-up zone has created major problems for opponents, and has neutralized the lack of height for the Eagles.
That hard work continued today at practice, and according to Jerrold Brooks, everyone is really starting to sell out as they continue to gain confidence.
"Defense was the name of the game for us today at practice," he said. "We worked on transition defense and we went over their sets on offense."
Brooks knows the keys to the hot start for Southern Miss in conference play has been their work together as a team.
"We have been focused on everyone helping out someone else," he said. "There are a lot of ways we are winning games right now. Our defense has led to some easy buckets on the other end, and that is what drives everything we do. We want to be a lock down defensive team."
Brooks said the goal of the team is to have the other team shoot under 30%. It all starts with the front of that zone, where Brooks can be seen applying tenacious defense on the ball.
"I take great pride in my defense," he said. "It makes it easier on everyone else if I can get that pressure at the top. I try to put as much pressure as I can so we can make the other team have to struggle for everything.
"Someone will be open in the zone, so I try to make sure they can't find that man."
Southern Miss has played in some tough venues this season, and Brooks said his team is ready for the challenge of road conference games.
"We have to be patient, and tough," he said. "We have to move the ball, work together, and make sure we get good shots every time down.
"Everything is falling into place right now. We are a family right now, everything is clicking. You won't find any selfish players on this team, and that is what has kept us strong. Everybody is loving it on the defensive end, and it is really paying off."
It certainly showed in the second half against Houston.
"That was probably the best defensive stretch I've ever been a part of," he added. "We just had everything locked down."
They expect a tough challenge ahead in the Mustangs tomorrow night, a team coached by a legend, Larry Brown.
"They put a lot of pressure and have good defense too," Brooks pointed out. "They have the number one or two defense in Conference USA. We have to attack the rim and find the open man. It is going to be a challenge but one we are ready for."
The Eagles tip off tomorrow night at 7:00 in Dallas.

|Equality Now celebrates the first Day of the Girl in 2012 with members of The Arts Effect NYC.
I was not put on this earth to be invisible. I was not born to be denied. I was not given life only to belong to someone else. I belong to me.
– From The Girl Declaration [1], courtesy of The Girl Effect
The theme of the 2nd annual International Day of the Girl Child [2], 'Innovating for Girls' Education,' is timely given that Malala Yousafzai, who was fighting for her life right before the first day of the girl child, has become a force to be reckoned with in the movement to achieve universal education for girls. She has galvanized millions of people around the world to take up the cause and ensure that girls' voices are heard and their rights protected.
|Malala Yousafzai & Yasmeen Hassan
At Equality Now we are continually inspired by brave girls who, despite great personal risk, are standing up for their rights in order to improve situations for themselves and other girls like them. These girls deserve to be supported as they are the leading agents of change! These include girls from the Pokot district in Kenya who are fleeing their homes to escape female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage [3]; teenaged survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation from the U.S. who lobbied the New York State Assembly for improvements to the trafficking law; a 12-year-old child bride from Saudi Arabia who refused to accept her fate and successfully petitioned for a divorce; and a 13-year-old from Zambia whose successful civil case against the government is leading to the development of guidelines in schools to protect other schoolgirls from rape by teachers. Girls themselves are innovating ways [4] to ensure that their voices are heard. We must support their activism and fix the broken legal and social systems that are stopping them from reaching their full potential.
11 October was proclaimed as a day to recognize the unique challenges that girls face daily. It is important that the momentum demonstrated on this day of advocacy and action carries through to every day. Equality Now is committed to standing up for the rights of all girls – to keep them safe at home, at school and in their communities – and we hope you will be too. Start today by signing our Action to protect Kenyan girls from FGM and child marriage! [5]

Former Oklahoma receiver Kameel Jackson no longer with La.-Monroe football team
NORMAN — As it turns out, former Oklahoma receiver Kameel Jackson won't return to Norman with Louisiana-Monroe for the 2013 season opener.
A ULM spokesman told The Oklahoman that Jackson left the school to get his grades up at a junior college, and plans to rejoin the team in December after he graduates.
Louisiana-Monroe and Oklahoma play in both teams' 2013 season opener August 31 on Owen Field.
As a true freshman at OU in 2011, Jackson had 12 catches for 165 yards. He started two games, recording career highs with a 3-catch, 45-yard performance against Iowa in the Insight Bowl.
Jackson was suspended last May along with teammates Trey Franks, Quentin Hayes and Jaz Reynolds for unspecified team violations. Before that news became public, though, Jackson tweeted that he intended to transfer to Texas A&M.
After his suspenson was announced, Jackson tweeted his intent to stay at Oklahoma.
Just before Oklahoma opened fall camp, though, OU coach Bob Stoops said Jackson wouldn't return to the team.
Jackson transferred to Louisiana-Monroe, didn't play in any games — per NCAA transfer rules — but practiced with the team the entire season.

Could a commissioner or an umbrella organization overseeing both the ATP + WTA Tours come to fruition in the very near future?
Douglas Robson's article for USA Today investigates the possibilities of the two tours moving closer together as more events, particularly when the 2009 season rolls around, see the men and women playing in the same tourney or in back-to-back weeks including Madrid, Cincinnati, and Beijing.
Robson highlights a number of areas where the tours are already leveraging each other:
•Some 35% of the ATP's 63 events and 40% of WTA 50 tournaments will be combined or played in consecutive weeks in 2009, among them events at Madrid, Cincinnati and Beijing.
•Staffs have been consolidating in London in recent years, and both human resources and IT functions are now shared. A number of media functions, such as the production of the annual media guide and the two tour websites, also are shared.
•This year the ATP and WTA teamed up in conjunction with the International Tennis Federation and the four majors to form a so-called integrity unit to combat gambling. That followed the formation of a joint anti-doping program overseen by the ITF in 2006.
•Next year the tours will embark on their first commercial joint venture by pooling digital rights for video streaming of content though a single portal called tennistv.com. They will split revenues evenly.
WTA Tour CEO Larry Scott has been talked about as someone who could potentially oversee both tours and has publicly expressed interest in the role. He already sees an evolution towards the two tours working in tandem possibly in five years:
We have done some things together already. It is happening organically.The challenges to this idea include legal issues such as TV rights, title sponsorships (the ATP has no interest in a Sony Ericsson-type sponsorship for the tour), and the always thorny issue of the Grand Slams which aren't controlled by either tour.
From a business and branding perspective, having the two tours live under one organization seems a like a no brainer and would encourage consistency across the board. It becomes confusing for the casual fan when one tour experiments with, say, on-court coaching while the other doesn't. However, the umbrella organization would need to ensure the unique identity, characteristics, and marketing of each tour remained intact.
As I mentioned previously, leveraging the star power off both tours would give the executives more weight to sell sponsorships and tickets, not to mention buying TV time (another area where consistency in scheduling is crucial for the growth of tennis.) Moreover, it would seem organizing the tours would get easier from a logistical standpoint - where the top ballers go the rest follow.

Rich, you tease! Rafa in that baby blue....ReplyDelete
Oh yeah, I got that bj Rafa you left at my back door this morning. But you left bite marks on it and now I can't blow...it...up...
Now, what was that about somebody scheduling something in 2009. All that blowing has made me dizzy...
PS Sonja, the premium model comes anatomically correct and with real Rafa hair, stolen from shower drains.
natch: ewwww - shower drain hair is SO nasty. i don't care which ball(er) they came from!ReplyDelete
You must have received a different model than I did, Rich. Mine's been washed, fluffed and dried.ReplyDelete
Really Rich, you MUST get over this Rafa-and-Rafa's-shower-drain-hair obsession you have. ;)
OK I have so NOT read that article you posted, Rich. I just stared at the Rafa picture. Thanks... soo... much....ReplyDelete
Yay, real hair on my yummy bj Rafa! I still haven't received mine, this all takes longer in Austria... And I don't care about the drain hair. I would also like to use his toothbrush. Yeah, I'm disgusting, and I'm proud of it. LOOL

Hi all,
just did a quick test-install on my notebook on FC4 with zimbra and decided, to give it a better location on the server, so I (did not use -u) but simply uninstalled the rpms.
No, I noticed, that I cannot connect anymore to my local postfix and dovecot on 127.0.0.1 (whereas on eth0 it works). In fact: postfix and dovecot do NOT listen on localhost anymore.
What has been changed by zimbra?
Thanks for any help.

Up to two children ages 2-12 are eligible to receive a 50% discount on the lowest available adult rail fare on most Amtrak trains with each fare-paying adult (age 18+). If any additional child per adult will be traveling, reservations must be made for that child as an "Adult" and the full adult fare will be charged.
One child (classified as an "infant") under the age of two may ride free with each fare-paying adult (age 18+). Additional children under age two are permitted with each adult traveler under the 50% discount policy.
An infant traveling free may occupy a vacant seat only if the seat is not needed for a paying passenger. Conductors may require that infants occupying a seat without paying a fare be removed to provide seating to a fare-paying passenger.
*Exception: A minor who is 16 or 17, who is a parent to children of any age, may bring those children without restriction. The 16- or 17-year-old must bring proof that he or she is the parent of the children.

Below are some Celestia screengrabs using the maps by NeonKnight and Redrobes which were posted by Airith in the World Pictures thread, with a long/lat grid overlay.
I didn't edit the texture images, so they have different offsets in longitude because Celestia assumes that 0 degrees of longitude is in the center of a texture. I don't know if anyone has decided on a prime meridian for the world.
A bumpmap would produce results similar to the relief map, but its shading would depend on the planet's rotation.
Is it possible to persuade Fractal Terrain to produce images with darker water? That would look somewhat more realistic in Celestia, I think.

Royals claim Kanekoa Texeira, designate Brad Thompson for assignment
The Royals made a roster move before today's game, claiming RHP Kanekoa Texeira off outright waivers from the Seattle Mariners. RHP Brad Thompson was designated for assignment in order to make room on the 40-man roster.
Texeira, 24, made 16 appearances for Seattle this year, going 0-1 with a 5.30 ERA in 18.2 innings. He was drafted by Chicago in the 22nd round in 2006. Texeira was signed by Dan Ontiveros, who is now a scouting supervisor with the Royals. Texeira's slider was rated as the best in the Chicago system in 2007.
He was traded to the Yankees after the 2008 season along with Nick Swisher in a deal that involved current Royal Wilson Betemit going to the White Sox.
Texeira posted a 2.84 ERA in 101.1 innings in 2009 for New York's Double-A affiliate, the Trenton Thunder. Seattle acquired him from the Yankees in the 2009 Rule 5 Draft.
Thompson, 28, was 0-4 with a 6.41 ERA in 16 relief appearances for Kansas City.

The expansion of Douglas J in Meridian Township was approved Tuesday night.
The township's Board of Trustees passed it on a five to one vote.
The vote allows Douglass J to add space for a new salon and spa as well as housing and other stores at the corner of Hamilton and Okemos Roads, directly across from the current Douglas J salon.
The expansion means the building that is home to the Tuba Museum will be torn down.
Construction is scheduled to begin sometime this winter after the site plan is approved.

Robin Thicke's TV star dad is heading back to the small screen to front a new reality series.
"Growing Pains" star Alan Thicke has signed up to allow TVGN cameras follow him and his wife Tanya as they attempt to balance business and parenting in "Unusually Thicke."
Singer Robin is not expected to be a regular on the show, but he will appear in at least one episode.
The series will also feature the "Blurred Lines" singer's teenage brother Carter, while David Hasselhoff, John Stamos, Tom Green and sports stars Magic Johnson and Wayne Gretzky are expected to make cameo appearances.
Announcing the new show, which will debut in America next month (Apr14), Thicke says, "Unusually Thicke combines my two favorite things: family… and laughing at my family.
"This series is my foray into the reality-ish television world where viewers will meet the lovable, unpredictable, and often challenging people who live with the real Jason Seaver (Growing Pains character). We take our relatable real-life stories and blow them up to amuse and amaze, tossing in a handful of celebrity friends along the way."

BELLEVILLE, Ill. (KSDK) - A 20-year-old Metro East man was arrested over the weekend in connection with a vehicular hijacking at an area Steak N Shake.
According to Captain Donald Sax, a spokesman for the Belleville Police Department, the hijacking took place Friday, January 11 just before 2:40 a.m. at the drive-thru of the Steak N Shake in the 4300 block of W. Main Street.
The 20-year-old female victim told police that while she was ordering food, the suspect got into her car, implied he had a gun, and demanded she drive him to Fairview Heights. When the victim refused, the suspect demanded to be dropped off near the Town House Motel.
Sax said police located the suspect, identified as Dwayne Tottleben, in the 400 block of N. Illinois and apprehended him.
Tottleben is being held on vehicular hijacking and invasion charges, pending further investigation.
