Despite it being Winter... we can and do see severe weather this time of year here in NWFL. Remember the tornado that hit Lynn Haven a few years ago on Christmas Eve!? How about the severe storms this past Christmas Day? In 1998 in Central Florida 43 people were killed in a deadly tornado outbreak that occurred at night! Now is the time to prepare!
While we usually think or tornadoes and hurricanes when it comes to severe weather... that is not the only threat here in Florida. Each day we will highlight a different topic on NewsChannel 7 hoping to help inform you so you can keep you and your family safe.
With an average of 1.4 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes each year, no other state in the country experiences more lightning strikes than Florida. Lightning is very dangerous and can travel as far as 10 miles from a thunderstorm! So while it may not be raining at your location, lightning can still reach you. The key to remaining safe from a lightning strike is to keep an eye to the sky and watch for darkening skies on the horizon along with distant rumbles of thunder. The two main tips to remember about lightning safety are: being outside is never safe during a thunderstorm and if you can hear thunder, then you are close enough to be struck by lightning! Always remember the 30/30 rule: Go inside if you hear thunder within 30 seconds of a lightning flash. Wait at least 30 minutes after you hear thunder before going back outside.
Marine Hazards, Rip Currents
Year-round warm weather and abundant sunshine attract millions of people to Florida to dive, snorkel, swim, ski, fish, cruise, or sail each year. Fair weather and fine seas treat Florida beach goers to very agreeable conditions most of the time. However, weather and water can change rapidly. Dangerous rip currents, waves, lightning, and waterspouts are among the marine hazards facing anyone who enjoys Florida's beaches. Rip currents are especially dangerous to swimmers because they can pull unprepared swimmers away from shore and into deeper offshore waters.
Thunderstorms & Tornadoes
Thunderstorms are one of the most exciting types of weather and Florida has more of them than anywhere else in the United States and North America. All thunderstorms are considered dangerous because they contain lightning and can also produce damaging winds, heavy rain which may cause flooding, tornadoes and hail. Florida tornadoes come in all shapes and sizes, and can occur year-round, although most occur in the summer during the afternoon. Florida is also home to nearly 300 waterspouts each year, which are tornadoes that occur over water.
The National Weather Service and the Florida Division of Emergency Management will conduct the statewide Tornado Drill at 10:10 a.m. Eastern Time (9:10 a.m. Central Time), on Wednesday, February 13, 2012. Floridians are asked to consider themselves under a tornado watch during the morning of February 13, 2012. A Tornado Watch means that you should closely monitor the weather and be prepared to go to a safe place in the event of a tornado warning. Once the drill begins you should consider yourself in a Tornado Warning. A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has been sighted or has been picked up on radar in your area. This means that you need to take shelter immediately in a safe sturdy structure. Even if you do not participate in the morning drill, all schools, families and businesses are encouraged to talk about their tornado safety plan that day.
Hurricanes and Flooding
The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1st and continues through November 30th. Although the number of tropical storms and hurricanes typically peaks during August and September, it is important to remember that Florida can be impacted by tropical weather systems any time during the six-month-long season. Hurricanes and tropical storms can bring very dangerous weather to areas near the coast, including strong winds, storm surge and coastal flooding, flooding from heavy rain, and tornadoes. For those away from the immediate coastline, inland flooding and tornadoes are often the most hazardous impacts from these systems.
Extreme Temperatures & Wildfires
While wildfires can start at any time of the year, Florida sees a peak of activity during the early part of the year – beginning in January and continuing until the onset of more frequent rain during the wet season, usually in early to mid-June. A typical year in Florida will see over 4,600 fires burn nearly 110,000 acres of land. Florida is also home to a wide variety of temperatures that can reach dangerous levels. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Florida was 109 degrees Fahrenheit and the coldest temperature recorded in Florida was minus 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
I hope you will take a little time to make your family disaster plan and put together your family disaster kit.
Also know that if you ever have any questions about the weather and severe weather safety never hesitate to contact me here in the VIPIR7 Weather.

Recently during a very warm day here in Victoria, I had the opportunity to volunteer with several other gentlemen and serve ice cream to a large number of seniors and disabled residents at a local Hospital. Every year a good friend of mine named Stephen Godfrey, a member of Haida Lodge, a local Masonic lodge, organizes fellow freemasons to donate and serve ice cream to patients in the extended and acute care wards of a local hospital.

All government employees are protected by the U.S. Constitution against irrational discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition, some measure of protection already exists under Title VII based on gender, which has been held to include gender identity and expression.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and several courts have interpreted Title VII to protect transgender employees, and the EEOC has interpreted Title VII to cover sexual orientation discrimination. The Supreme Court has held that the EEOC's interpretations of Title VII are entitled to "great deference."
NO, Wyoming does not have a criminal statute that punishes people with an HIV diagnosis specifically for nondisclosure of HIV status prior to sexual conduct; however, all states have general criminal laws—such as reckless endangerment and assault laws—under which it is possible to prosecute an HIV-positive person for nondisclosure of HIV status prior to sexual conduct.
NO, there has not been a criminal prosecution in recent years of which Lambda Legal is aware; however, that does not mean that will not be one in the future.
NO, Wyoming does not have laws that criminalize or enhance penalties for biting, spitting and/or throwing bodily fluids or substances (such as urine or excrement) if a person has been diagnosed with HIV, but that does not mean the state could not prosecute a person engaged in such activities under general criminal laws or argue for sentence enhancements based on the person's HIV diagnosis.
NO, Wyoming does not have laws that enhance penalties for HIV-positive people involved in commercial sexual transactions, but that does not mean that a prosecutor could not argue for an enhanced sentence in such a situation based on the defendant's HIV-positive status, if the prosecutor has access to that information, or attempt to bring separate charges under an HIV-specific nondisclosure statute or the general criminal laws.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sunshine9 Loving it! These mats are unique because of the shape and edge design. I got these in red and they make my bathroom pop. Washing didnt make any difference in color or material. I wish these were available in patterns too. May 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doodlebug It's perfect I really like the look, the feel and the practicality of this rug. I'd buy another one. I did have a concern about how it would grip the surface, but it does fine on our hardwood floor in our bathroom. May 20, 2011

text: Disaster Recovery Tax Guide: What You Need to Know You are entitled to a special tax relief and may qualify to receive an extension on your tax deadlines if you were a recent victim of a: Hurricane, Flood, Earthquake, Tornado, Drought, Wildfire. Casualty and Theft LossesA casualty is the damage, destruction, or loss of property resulting from an identifiable event that is sudden, unexpected or unusual. It does not include damage from events that are gradual, or damage from routine wear and tear (i.e. termite infestation, mold damage, etc.). Read More If the repairs meet certain conditions you may be able to use these costs as a measure of the decrease in fair market value of your property if all of the following are true: repairs are necessary to restore the property to the condition it was in immediately before the casualty amount of money spent for repairs is not excessive repairs only correct the damage caused by the casualty property value after repairs is not, as a result of the repairs, more than the value of the property immediately before the casualty You cannot deduct the loss of future profits or income due to the casualty. For example, if the prices of homes in your neighborhood drop after a widespread flooding near your area, the decline in market value of your home is not a casualty loss. Theft Loss A theft includes, but is not limited to, the taking of money or property by: blackmail burglary embezzlement extortion kidnapping for ransom larceny robbery The taking of money or property through fraud or misrepresentation is theft if it is illegal under state or local law. Generally, you cannot deduct the loss of property that has been simply lost or mislaid. However, depending on the circumstances, accidental loss or disappearance of property resulting from a casualty could be deductible. Ponzi schemes may be deductible as a theft loss in the year the leader of the Ponzi scheme is charged with the crime instead of waiting for the outcome of the trial. If you choose to deduct the loss before the trial is complete, you will be limited to no more than 95% of the loss as a deduction. See www.irs.gov for more information. Expenses incurred for preventative measures against casualties and theft is not deductible as losses, such as: boarding up your house before a hurricane building a levee to prevent future flooding installing a security system after a break-in Instead, you might be able to capitalize some of these expenses, if they are for permanent improvements, and add them to the basis of your property. Incidental expenses you have as a result of a casualty or theft are not deductible and are not included in your total loss. Incidental expenses include the cost of: medical treatments for personal injuries, although you may be able to deduct the expenses as a medical deduction temporary housing or hotel fees renting a car The IRS Disaster Resource Guide contains valuable information for those claiming casualty losses on property that was destroyed by a natural disaster, including: tax forms needed to claim a casualty loss, common questions, free tax services and instructions on how to identify which disaster losses to claim.

Close What To Do in A DisasterWhen Disaster Strikes, Jackson Hewitt Is There for You When a disaster strikes, the financial and emotional effects can be devastating for several years to come. Let Jackson Hewitt help you. If you suffer a loss, Jackson Hewitt can guide you through the steps you need to take to ensure you obtain the most from the tax benefits available to you. Read More Before a Disaster Valuable information about preparing for disasters is available on the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (www.fema.gov) Web sites. There are certain steps you can take before a disaster strikes that will assist you when filing your income tax return. These steps are as follows: + Determine whether you have appropriate insurance Homeowner's insurance and auto insurance should be reevaluated periodically. Use your home inventory list to verify that your policy's coverage matches the value of your possessions. For particular items of value in your home you may want to obtain a professional appraiser's report. The cost of the appraisal may be deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to 2% of the adjusted gross income (AGI) on your return. + Know your basis Ultimately, you have the burden of proving to the IRS the amount you claim as a loss on your return. Be prepared to provide the IRS with documentation to support your basis. This will be important in determining how much of your loss you are allowed to deduct on your return. Keep any documents that can help you establish the original purchase price of your property, such as your HUD-1 Settlement Statement or a Bill of Sale. If you make any permanent improvements to your home (for example, installing storm shutters or building a levee to prevent flooding), add the costs to the original cost of your home. Keep your receipts or other documentation whenever practical. The allowable loss on your tax return is limited to your basis in the property, even if the loss and the fair market value (FMV) of the property are greater than your basis. + Identify your property Take pictures or videos of your home and of its contents, especially valuable items, for identification purposes. Keep an itemized list of your property whenever administratively reasonable and possible. You can use the checklist found in IRS Publication 584, Casualty, Disaster, and Theft Loss Workbook; one you have created yourself; or the Household Inventory List Jackson Hewitt has created. Keep purchase receipts, cancelled checks, credit card statements, or other proof of the original cost of the property. You must also prove that you own the property or are responsible to the owner for any damage to the property. + Keep important documentation in a safe place You should make copies of all your legal and financial documents. The originals should be kept in a safe deposit box or other institution that provides safe deposit boxes. If you home is destroyed, any documents kept there will probably also be destroyed. If you are evacuated, take a copy with you in a water-proof bag or container, or you can place a copy in a fire-proof safe. Another copy of the documents and the extra key to your safety deposit box should be provided to an out-of-state relative or friend. Do not forget to make back-up copies of important information you keep on your computer's hard drive. These backups can be copied to a disk, a CD, or a removable drive. You may want to keep certain information handy, such as contact names, accounts, addresses, and phone numbers, on an Internet-based storage system, such as your Internet e-mail account. This way, you can access important information quickly and conveniently from any computer wherever you are located. For detailed information on what you need to do to replace your lost documents, refer to the Jackson Hewitt, How to Replace Lost Identification and Documents Guide. After a Disaster The following are certain steps you should take after suffering a casualty loss: + Document your loss Take photographs or videos of the damage to your property, as well as any repairs to your property. Keep receipts for any repair or clean-up work. Although they are not considered deductible losses, the repair or clean-up expenses may help establish a decline in the FMV of your property, as long as the expenses are incurred to restore your property to its original condition. Your allowable loss on your tax return is limited to the smaller of your basis in your property or the decrease in the fair market value. Obtain quotes from several reputable contractors for the necessary replacements or repairs. These quotes can be used to substantiate the loss in FMV. To determine the decline in the FMV, you also have to prove the FMV of your property before the disaster. If obtaining a professional appraisal before the casualty is not feasible or cost-effective, you can use comparable classified ads, thrift store values, or published industry standard market values (such as the "blue book" values for automobiles) to determine the pre-disaster FMV. Save any police reports or newspaper articles to document the disaster that affected you if it is not a disaster that is well-known, such as a federal declared disaster. You may be able to use the inventory list the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides you for loss as support when claiming your loss on Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts. + File a timely insurance claim If your property is covered by insurance, you should file a timely insurance claim for reimbursement of the loss. If you do not file an insurance claim, the IRS may limit your eligible casualty or theft loss to the amount that is normally not covered by your insurance, such as your insurance deductible amount. + Spend your insurance reimbursement money wisely You have two years to replace any damaged, destroyed, or lost property. If you meet this time requirement, your insurance reimbursement will not be taxable, even if it exceeds your basis in your property. However, if you do not purchase property that is similar or related in service or use to the property you are replacing, part of your reimbursement may be taxable. If the property you are replacing is your home, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 (or $500,000 if married filing jointly) for your taxable gain. In some situations, the deadline to replace property may be extended by the IRS. Be aware of the guidelines that apply to you situation and plan accordingly. + Keep track of the payments you receive Payments you receive may be excluded or included in income depending on whether restrictions were attached to how you spend the money, or if you received the payments as part of relief provided to individuals in a federally declared disaster. These payments also affect the calculation of allowable casualty loss. Keep all types of FEMA reimbursement documentation or checklists and any Small Business Administration appraisals, if applicable. Do not reduce your casualty loss by insurance payments you receive to cover living expenses that are a direct result of either losing the use of your main home because of a casualty or because government authorities do not allow you access to your main home after a casualty or threat of one. However, if these insurance payments are more than the temporary increase in your living expenses, you must include the excess in your income. Food, medical supplies, and other forms of relief assistance you receive are not included in your income and do not reduce your casualty loss, unless the assistance replaces your lost or destroyed property. Qualified disaster relief payments you receive for expenses you incurred as a result of a federally declared disaster are not taxable income. Disaster unemployment assistance payments are unemployment benefits that are taxable. Generally, disaster relief grants you received under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act are not included in your income. These include: payments you receive for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred for personal, family, living, or funeral costs; the repair or rehabilitation of a personal residence (rented or owned); and the repair or replacement of the contents of a personal residence. Federally Declared Disaster If the president of the United States has determined your area is part of a federally declared disaster, you must choose how you will claim the loss: You may elect to claim the loss as part of your itemized deductions for the year in which it occurred. You may elect to amend your prior-year tax return by filing Form 1040X, Amended US. Individual Income Tax Return, and claim the loss as part of your itemized deductions in the previous tax year. Specify the date or dates of the disaster and the city, town, county, and state where your property was damaged or destroyed on your amended return. The option to claim the loss on the prior year's amended return expires on the due date (without extensions) of the tax return for the year of the disaster. By amending your return, you can get your refund for the loss sooner than waiting until the following year. However, you should compare your tax situation and AGI for both years to determine whether it is to your tax advantage to claim the loss in one year rather than another. If you are considering amending a prior-year return and you used the standard deduction in that year, gather your records for prior-year expenses, such as your state tax withholding, real property taxes, personal property, home mortgage interest, and charitable contributions paid during the year. Add these expenses to the amount of your deductible casualty loss to determine whether you have enough expenses to claim itemized deductions instead of the standard deduction for the prior year. There are other benefits you are entitled to if the president determines you are located in a disaster area. Instead of the usual two years, the law provides for a four-year replacement period for replacing principal residences damaged due to a federally declared disaster. Also, the IRSmay postpone certain tax deadlines of taxpayers who are affected by a federally declared disaster. The tax deadlines the IRS may postpone include those for filing income, estate, gift, generation-skipping transfers, and certain business taxes; paying taxes associated with those returns; and making contributions to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. If the IRS postpones the due date for filing your return and for paying your tax, they may abate the interest on underpaid tax that would otherwise accrue for the period of postponement. Special Considerations for Self-Employed Individuals The casualty loss deduction for business or income-producing property is not subject to the $100 rule and the 10% of AGI rule. Special tax rules may apply. Contact a Jackson Hewitt tax professional for assistance in these complex tax situations.

First, she asked around and found no good reason for the policy; no one could tell her why it was in place. Next, she asked and received permission to have a bike rack installed -- if she could get one. She did. Easy.

Whiskey Dicks has officially opened in downtown Orlando.
Formerly Brix, the space is going for an all-American bar atmosphere says co-owner Jay Clark, who was also co-owner of Brix. He says he wants it to be 75 percent bar and 25 percent restaurant, the opposite of what Brix was. Although the food will be "really good pub grub, like fancy burgers and scratch-made chicken tenders."
He says he modeled the bar after the popular Key West bar Irish Kevin's, and is even bringing in live acts from Irish Kevin's once a month to play Whiskey Dicks. Tom Sartori will be there tonight. There will also be other live acts playing during the week.
As far as that name is concerned he mentions it has many meanings besides the obvious. His father's name was Dick and he liked whiskey — but says he picked it because "it's a funny name."
Whiskey Dicks is at 50 E. Central Blvd. in downtown Orlando. Hours are currently 4 p.m. – 2 a.m. Monday-Friday, 7 p.m. – 2 a.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. – 2 a.m. on Sunday, but once he starts serving food there next month the hours will change to 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. daily.

A lot of people associate fashion with New York, Milan or Paris, but everywhere you go in Salt Lake, you find cool people - especially as we gear up for summertime and get excited to walk the streets and enjoy the heat.
With affordable fashion stores in Utah, along with the growth of local clothing boutiques, Utahns are thinking differently about fashion. Now we can dress ourselves in style without spending too much, and that gives us freedom to experiment with new trends. Affordability and high fashion are finally walking hand-in-hand on Salt Lake City's streets.
Utahns are getting inspired to dress in bright, playful and young clothes, and at this time of year a lot of prints, flowers and neons are part of fashionista's choices.
You don't need to flip through a fashion magazine to get updated with what's on trend right now. These girls at The Gateway are teaching us a lesson on how to mix and match, and stay beautiful this summer.
Jessica Garcia is wearing: Shirt - Bettie Page, Pants - Urban Outfitters, Shoes - from a thrift store
Jessica's look is fun and shows that shes's not afraid of mixing old and new trends.

Beatrice Pulsen is wearing: Shirt and Skirt - Urban Outfitters, Boots - H&M
Beatrice's mixture of colors is fun and more than appropriate for the warmer weather.
Marta Reeder is wearing: Shirt - Farmer's Market, Skirt - Free People, Belt - Anthropologie
Marta's outfit is fun and lovely. Hats are always fashionable and they protect you from the sun.
Morgan Sidwell is wearing: Pants and Flats - Forever 21, Shirt - H&M, Purse - Target
The pink tones and the flower prints are adorable and feminine.

Like Arizona State Gymnastics on Facebook:
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The 2013 All-Pac-12 Gymnastics team was announced on Wednesday by Commissioner Larry Scott, with grad student Kahoku Palafox named All-Pac-12 second team on bars.
Palafox, Arizona State's top bar worker, tied her career-high of 9.900 on bars at Pac-12 Championships to help the Sun Devils finish strong in their final event. On the season the graduate student has record six scores of 9.850-plus and holds the three top bar scores for ASU.
In May of 2012, Palafox graduated magna cum laude with a degree in sustainability. She is a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic first-team selection and a 2012 Academic All-American. Palafox is currently pursuing a masters degree in Urban and Environmental Planning and working with Sun Devil Athletics and ASU Sustainability and Application to help implement more green and zero waste initiatives in athletics.
The All-Pac-12 team is determined by a combination of 50 percent regional qualifying score (entire season composite) and 50 percent Conference Championship score. The All-Conference team consists of the top six all-around competitors, plus the top three competitors in each individual event who are not among the all-around honorees. The Pac-12 second team in a ten member team that consists of the top two all-arounders who were not named to the first team (as all-arounders or in an event), after such the top two gymnasts from each event who were not yet named to the first team or the second team in the are selected to the second team.

At some point on nearly every weekend morning, my husband and I discuss our plans for the day. Usually, we're in our son's room, one of us propped on the bed reading aloud from Harry Potter, the other sitting on the floor helping our son find Lego pieces.
The conversation goes like this:
"What do you want to do today?"
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe the Met?"
"Sure, that sounds good. … What time do you want to run?"
"I thought I'd do six miles today. Maybe I'll go at 10:00?"
"What about you? Do you want to go for a run now?"
You get the drift. Scheduling our runs is a small constant -- like going to the grocery store -- and negotiating them almost always happens in earshot of our son, who is six.
Last weekend, he announced that he would like to come running with us. My husband and I weren't sure he meant it — he wants to do everything we do until he realizes it's boring — but he persisted.
When I got back from my six miles, my husband and son were waiting, dressed in running clothes, doing toe touches. I reset my GPS watch and together, we headed down the block. Our goal was to jog in one direction for half a mile, then my son and I would turn back toward home while my husband would keep going.
My husband and son were running about ten steps in front of me, completely adorable with their twin baseball caps and big sneakers.
Then I overheard two women commenting on them: One said, "That is so cute!" to which the other replied: "But isn't he a little young for that?"
It wasn't the time or the place to get into it, but no. I don't think you're ever too young to get out and move around. And if you want to do it with your parents and your parents think it's fun to run on city streets, well, joining in seems fine to me, as long as your parents are sensitive to your limits and needs.
But the issue of kids and exercise can be fraught. Maybe there are weight issues or body image issues in the mix. Maybe the kids feel competitive with their parents, or vice versa. Or maybe the skill sets are mismatched. A colleague told me that she never works out with her teenage daughter. She is athletic, her daughter is not, and she doesn't want her daughter to feel bad about being outperformed by her mother.
When I was a teenager, I hated exercising with my parents. They were always out at 6 in the morning to swim laps in what I considered to be freezing cold pools. Ugh.
But now, I'm grateful for the example they set. Even when I didn't want to go out and sweat, I had proof that it could be done — with a kid and a job and everything else. My mother has swum laps three times a week for 30 years, in countries around the world, and has vibrant good health to show for it. Now my mother and I swim together about once a month, a comforting, lifelong ritual.
Last Sunday, when the watch announced we'd completed half a mile, my son and I kissed Daddy goodbye and turned back. Eventually, my son decided that he wanted to walk for a bit, and we did. The last block, we broke into a run again and finished with a triumphant high five at our door. He was super proud to have run a mile — and so was I.
Go team go!

Ricoh Quality
Few Corporations have ever won one. Ricoh has two of them.
Ricoh's Company Wide Quality Control (CWQC) Program was introduced in 1971 to establish
the company as a high technology leader.
Quality control became more organized and integrated-not merely signs and posters
in the lobby. It was this program that directly led to Ricoh winning the two Deming
Medals, and winning over more and more customers worldwide.
Today, with 23 manufacturing plants in the United States, Europe and Asia, our commitment
to designing the highest quality copiers, facsimiles and multifunctional machines
remains steadfast.

All of the bullet core molds I have in my swaging kit are custom deals. Use some aluminum blocks in the appropriate size, index them so as they mate properly, and thread them for set screws for the handles.
The trick would, IMO, be to set them on the lathe and/or build a custom cutter. A custom cutter on a milling machine would be... troublesome. Best, IMO, to use a lathe with an appropriate mounting plate. Your cutting process would be in reality a boring operation, as you're going to bore out the holes. You'd be doing it with a custom boring bit vs. one of those indexable boring heads. It will be a bore! lol

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Minnie Beautiful The material for the sides is wood composite with a great veneer. The bottom of the trunk is a very thick, heavy plywood. The picture instructions are easy to follow. I had a problem with the outside hinges on the lid not lining up to the holes on the body of the trunk so I took the hinges completely off (they come attached to the lid) and lined up all the holes. The large inside hinge application was confusing to me so I ended up going to the store to see how similar hinges are attached. Works perfectly and looks so beautiful in my room. Love it.

Views on the new uniform and logo
I thought I'd present a sampling:
"The uniforms are unbalanced, too much bright aqua, not enough orange (orange is still their secondary color, right?). "
"Logos should be sacred, not marketing tools. Honestly, why not return to their 1972 look? No other team has ever had a perfect season. Why not honor that tradition by maintaining that look? "
And John Spilovoy had this to say, and wanted to be sure the team knew:
"I realize its a little late in the game, but where can I register my outrage at the new logo? I know its probably here to stay, but I just want to let them know that not all fans are happy. I have been a fan since 1971, probably longer than the idiots who designed the logo. My team has a logo of a dolphin leaping through a ring a fire, quite an accomplishment. Without the helmet or any facial expression, the new dolphin looks like an airplane banking. I hope it crashes."

Terrible!! Blue stripe on helmet, bright green numbers? You shoulda painted them pink! They look like sissies out there!!
Wow!You people are unbelievable!The new uniz,colors and logo aren't that bad! I like the Colors,the white on white uniz looked solid with the white facemask, Granted it took me sumtime to open up to the look of these new uniz,cuz like all of the real Dolphanz it kinda threw me off cuz I didn't expect the logo to look completely revamped and new and I didn't like it at all,looks weird without the Dolphin wearing a M Helmet,other than the logo which will take major getting used to,overall I like the colors, they're more lighter not that bright and looks more like they're Traditional colors,uniz are dope! The Dolphin is ascending upwards,which is when it's the most powerful,similar to this Franchise and Team,the Dolphins are only getting better and better and creating more and more momentum,they're also ascending into greatness,and when we start winning these uniz will look alot sweeter, trust me on that!
Personally I'm a fan of the throwback uniforms. I don't know why more teams don't use old color schemes and logos. I'm a fan of 1990-1996 uniforms or even the 1974-1989 uniforms. Even teams like the Broncos and Seahawks have looked better with 70's and 80's unis. At least we didn't look as bad as the Jaguars new uni's. Those things are hideous.
Um that guy is an idiot. Its never been a ring of fire. It the sun you noob.
Why are you guys talking about this? Do you think for 1 second Larry Czonka cared one iota about his bloody uniform? What difference does the color or logo matter? The ONLY thing that matters is a winning playoff Miami Dolphins football team... get with the program my brethren. This is about wins and losses, not cheerleaders or songs or small % owners or uniforms - WINS.
I like the white uniforms a lot. The white on white looks greats. Its the same like what the Heat are doing with their white uniforms. The aqua ones aren't bad though. I think it might look a little strange on TV because it looks a lot brighter and is a lighter shade of aqua but I think we will all get used to it. The all white look should give us a little slight advantage playing in Miami especially during September and early October.
It's weird to say this but the new logo seems faster than the older one. I remember watching games last year and the especially during the Sparano era and thinking "we might have the slowest team in the NFL" this has changed now with Wallace, Keller and Miller now in the mix on offense and Brent Grimes and Dion Jordan on defense" A lot more speed now

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Book 4 Summary
- When Telemachos arrives, Menelaos is hosting a double wedding feast, and he serves them food even before finding out their names. Nice guy!
- Telemachos is totally awed by the place, and he can't help but whisper that Menelaos.
- Menelaos agrees; he was pretty happy to see it again after wandering the seas for seven years. But it's not all happy homecoming; he was pretty bummed to discover his brother Agamemnon murdered.
- Also, he lost a lot of friends in the Trojan war.
- Menelaos misses Odysseus more than anyone else does, he says (although we think Penelope is probably a good contender for that title).
- And, oh, hey! Aren't you Telemachos, Odysseus's son?
- Sure is. Telemachos is so bummed by hearing the King talk fondly about his father that he cries. Awkward silence.
- Helen, Menelaos's wife (and BTW the woman that started the whole Trojan war to begin with by getting herself stolen) enters and breaks the silence tactfully by saying that Telemachos looks just like Odysseus.
- Menelaos fondly recognizes Peisistratos as Nestor's son, and everyone gets back to eating.
- Helen decides to drug the men's wine with an anodyne of forgetfulness, hoping to soothe away their sorrows, which—and correct us if we're wrong, but doesn't that means she's roofieing them?
- After treating the wine, she serves it and tells funny stories about Odysseus.
- Like this one time, Odysseus disguised himself as Trojan beggar—even beating himself up to make it look convincing—to get information from the Trojans. Ha!
- Then Menelaos recounts the time they were inside the Trojan horse and Helen, whose loyalty apparently lay with the Trojans at the time, came around knocking on the horse and calling each man inside in the voice of his wife.
- Odysseus saved everyone from giving themselves away by urging them into silence and even clapping his hands over one man's mouth.
- Everyone enjoys these stories, plus they've been drugged, so Telemachos suggests they all go to sleep.
- In the morning, Menelaos finally asks Telemachos why he has come, and Telemachos explains the sitch.
- Menelaos isn't happy about the suitor situation. He tells Telemachos another story.
- Once, when Menelaos was stranded on the island of Pharos, Eidothea, one of the resident nymphs, advised him to capture the god of the island—Proteus—and hold him captive.
- Normally, this would be suicidal, and therefore a really bad idea, but in this case, it's the only way the god will tell them how to get off the island.
- Eidothea helps disguise Menelaos and three of his men as seals. When Proteus surfaces to count his seal flock, they pounce on him and cling desperately while he shape-shifts into several different beings.
- (Ever heard the word "protean"?)
- Finally, Proteus reveals that Menelaos is trapped at Pharos because he didn't offer a proper sacrifice to Zeus before departing.
- The only way he can appease the now-angry god is by going to the Nile River and making them an offering.
- With the diagnosis out of the way, Menelaos asks Proteus for news of his Greek friends.
- Proteus tells him that Aias (little Aias that is) has died for foolishly challenging the gods.
- Mythological Context Lesson: there are two different characters named Aias (or Ajax, if you're feeling Latin-y) in Greek mythology, but they aren't related. This one here is called little Aias, and the other is called big Aias, or Telamonian Aias (his dad was a dude name Telamon).
- The deal with little Aias is that he raped and killed Kassandra (a Trojan Princess) on the altar of Athene. This was a big no-no—both for obvious reasons (rape/ murder) and because altars were sacred spaces. Naturally, the gods killed him.
- Next, we learn again that Agamemnon is dead.
- Finally, what we've all been waiting for: Odysseus is being held as a prisoner of Kalypso and would really like to get home.
- Menelaos is all, "Thanks, man" and books it off island. And that's it for his story.
- Telemachos gets ready to head back to Pylos. Idiotically (if you ask us), Telemachos refuses horses and a chariot and wants a keepsake instead.
- Menelaos gives him a silver bowl set. Oh, yeah, that'll come in handy. NOT.
- In the meantime, back at Ithaka, Noëmon, the rich merchant who sold Mentor/Athene the ship, asks Antinoös when Telemachos will be back from Pylos because he needs his ship.
- Apparently it was more of a lease than a sale.
- Antinoös freaks out because he didn't know about Telemachos's voyage at all. (Or else he wasn't listening when Telemachos TOLD THEM ABOUT IT at the council meeting.) Mostly, he just gets all riled up because he's a jerk.
- So he calls a meeting with all the other suitors. Since Telemachos has been making their parasitic lifestyle so difficult and also they all pretty much hate him, the men decide to sail out to sea, ambush the young man on his way home, and send him to his death.
- Nice, guys.
- Town crier Medon (we so wish that job hadn't gone out of style) overhears this and makes a not-so-public announcement to Penelope, who freaks out. Justifiably.
- She didn't know about the voyage either and laments wildly—first for her lost Odysseus, then for her son who is about to die.
- Eurykleia, the old nurse, feels guilty about concealing the journey from Penelope and begs her mistress to pray to Athene for Telemachos's sake.
- Penelope does, and Athene hears her. (She's got good ears, that goddess.)
- Meanwhile, down at the docks, the suitors have set sail.
- Athene, pitying Penelope, sends an image of the queen's sister—Iphthime—to her in her sleep. Iphthime assures her sister that Telemachos will come home safely. When Penelope doesn't believe her, the hallucinatory sister reveals that he has Athene's help.
- Penelope, all reassured by this, asks for news on Odysseus. Before answering, Iphthime fades away.
- Penelope wakes up feeling as fresh as a daisy, while the suitors wait in ambush. We suspect this won't end well for them.

|Soccer hands out awards
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho women's soccer dished out its team awards at the joint year-end banquet with Vandal volleyball on Sunday.
The Vandal women celebrated the most successful senior class in school history and its third-consecutive Western Athletic Conference Tournament bid at the event, in addition to the team's individual awards.
For the fourth-consecutive season, senior forward Chelsea Small earned the team's Golden Boot Award as the top scorer, while senior goalkeeper Liz Boyden claimed the Golden Shinnie Award as the team's top defensive player. Senior goalkeeper Caroline Towles was voted Most Inspirational Player by her teammates, while senior defender Lauren Layton earned the Kathy Clark Scholar-Athlete honor.
The Idaho Players' Player of the Year award was a split between Boyden and sophomore midfielder Katie Baran. The award is based upon a team vote after every match during the season.
Small led Idaho with eight goals and 17 points in 2012. She finished her career as Idaho's all-time scoring leader at 39 goals, 91 points, 16 game-winners and 404 shots. She also holds Idaho single-season records for goals (13), points (30), game-winners (8) and shots (121) from the 2010 season. She's a four-time First-Team All-WAC honoree and a three-time National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-West Region honoree.
Boyden graduated this season with possession of nearly every career goalkeeping record at Idaho. She set single-season school records in 2012 for saves (95) and goalkeeper minutes (1,922). Her 77 games played, 76 starts, 6,994 minutes, 368 saves, 15 shutouts and 29 career wins are all Idaho school records. She's also tied as Idaho's single-season record holder in shutouts with six in 2010. Boyden is also the only goalkeeper in Idaho history to assist a goal.
Towles made three appearances in goal this season, but head coach Peter Showler said she is "a leader and an inspiration to her teammates, whether it was on the pitch, on the sideline, in the locker room or away from the field." She finished her career with 16 appearances, 13 starts, 72 saves, one shutout and five wins.
Layton made 77 career appearances on the Vandal back line and finished her career ranked third in Idaho history with 15 assists. She is a three-time WAC All-Academic honoree, a 2010 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honoree and last week was awarded a University of Idaho Alumni Award for Excellence. In addition to her soccer exploits, she took a summer service break trip to Africa in 2011 and an internship again in Africa last summer.
Baran had a breakout season in the midfield in her second season as a Vandal. She led the WAC in assists during the regular season (8) and during conference play (6). She added four goals during the year and was second on the team with 16 points during the season. Baran registered a point in eight of Idaho's final nine games during the season, including each of the last four.
Regarding Idaho's 10 seniors in the class of 2012, Showler talked about raising the program standard and giving current and future Vandals a high aiming point.
Idaho's seniors, Boyden, Small, Layton, Towles, Jill Flockhart, Erica Hart, Christine Leathem, Amber Pimley, Megan Lopez and Cassandra San, left Idaho with 37 wins – the most by any four-year group in program history. They took Idaho to three WAC Tournaments – the first three in program history. As a group, they accounted for 65 goals, 62 assists and 192 points. They combined for 18 school records, 26 WAC All-Academic awards, eight All-WAC honors, four NSCAA All-West Region honors, six WAC Player of the Week honors, four Academic All-District honors and two Academic All-America honors.
"They set all sorts of standards for this program," Showler said. "When we recruited those girls, what we really talked about was creating a legacy and they certainly did that."
While the departure of such a successful group certainly creates a void, Idaho's returners are eager to fill those spots. Idaho's 2012 underclassmen combined for 94 starts and include seven players who appeared in 19 or more games this season. Six underclassmen scored at least one goal this season.
Showler said the previous years' successes have helped raise the level of play in the program. In addition to this year's returners stepping up into greater roles, he expects the 2013 freshman class to have a similar impact.
"What's been key with this process is the success allows us to attract stronger players," Showler said. "We've been good at bringing in talented players to complement what we already have. I've always had the philosophy that if you're good enough, you'll play, whether you're a senior or a freshman. We've had a lot of girls who came in, made their case and played well."

Tim Kupferschmid and Patricia Ethington scan evidence for genetic material.
It was a perfect June afternoon. The sky was blue and, after a cool spring, the temperature was finally approaching 90 degrees. The 19-year-old freshman took advantage of a break from her classes at Utah Valley University to jot down a few thoughts in her journal. She had left the snug community of Cedar City for college in Provo the year before, and an exciting future lay before her.
She found a quiet spot on the shady bank of the Provo River just steps from her apartment complex near downtown.
At about 3 p.m., she finished scribbling down her thoughts, gathered up her journal and headed down the winding, sun-dappled walking path to her home. She had only taken a few steps when a muscular man stepped out of the shrubs that lined the route and pulled her into the bushes. She later would remember the prominent tattoos on both sides of his neck, his dark hair and his square jaw.
"Give me your money," he said.
Terrified, she told him she didn't have her purse because she had just stepped out of her apartment.
He seemed to accept that and told her to sit down and face away while he escaped. But instead—no one is sure why—he wrapped a thick bootlace around her neck and choked her.
The 5-foot-11, 130-pound teen fought for her life. Later, the lab found microscopic bits of her flesh from her neck and from her attacker's hands embedded in the bootlace.
She blacked out then briefly regained consciousness and tried again to fight off the man as he dragged her deeper into the bushes. He grabbed a cinder block and smashed it down on her face so hard the block broke into two pieces. Still, she struggled, so he grabbed a boulder and hit her again, knocking her unconscious and smashing her jaw and face.
Then, he raped her.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gmaw Cooking with my Best Friend!!! I love Vegeta!!! It is better than bullion because it has other vegetables in it and you can regulate how much you want to add easier because it flows through your fingers like salt.

REVIEW: Sony AX100 4K Handycam (VIDEO; GALLERY)
It was good while it lasted.
In 2015, Gunkeshi evolved big time!
Do you know what Gunkeshi is? It's a series of old-school tiny Gundam models made from eraser-like plastic material, which emerged around 1985. At that time, people were able to buy them through Gachapon (toy capsule) machines, and currently some of the rare models are bought and sold at premium prices.
Panasonic's new mirrorless single-lens reflex camera with 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor format - LUMIX DMC-GF7W - will be on sale for about ¥83,500 on February 13.
Fujitsu announced the development of the innovative style PC LIFEBOOK GH77/T and will release it for about ¥240,000 on January 23.
LIFEBOOK GH77/T consists of 2 parts; a 15.6-inch full HD display and a stand that contains the PC functionalities.
What is it exactly? It's a new style product that is hard to identify as a laptop or desktop. All the computing functionality is placed in the stand so that it cannot be called a tablet, either.
Panasonic is going to release new digital camera LUMIX CM1 that can also be used as a SIM-free Android 4.4 smartphone (Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor).
It will be available for about ¥120,000 on March 12 in a limited quantity - 2,000 units ONLY.
A super-rugged iPhone 6/6 Plus case, which is currently available by Thanko, is able to protect your iPhone from getting damaged by water, snow, dust, sand and shock.
It's IP68 waterproof and rustproof so that you have no worries to play with your iPhone with the case, for example, in the bathtub, and at the beach or snowy mountain. It also protects against the shock of falls of up to 200cm in height.
Terrie's Take is a selection of Japan-centric news collected and collated by long-time resident and media business professional Terrie Lloyd. AkihabaraNews is pleased to present Terrie's learned perspective; we all could use another take on the news - here's Terrie's:

Twitter Client Review
Why Twitter Clients?
A new era of networking has been ushered in, thanks to social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Millions of users worldwide turn to these sites to keep in touch with family, friends and colleagues, and many people are creating multiple accounts for personal and professional use. Twitter especially has revolutionized the way news is generated and the way people and businesses connect to clients and comrades around the world. Newspapers, magazines, museums, artists, designers, celebrities and fortune 500 companies can all be found on Twitter, offering weekly, daily or hourly news updates. Followers of these businesses and people may receive news and alerts before the information hits the mainstream media.
Today the powers of Twitter and other social media networks combine in a type of super Twitter management tool: the Twitter client. With brilliant user interfaces and access to all things social, Twitter clients such as Seesmic, Hootsuite and Twitter are extremely powerful tools, enabling you to be connected to the world around you 24 hours a day through you personal or office computer and mobile devices.
In this site, you will find additional articles about Twitter clients as well as individual reviews for the best Twitter client for your social dashboard.
Twitter Client: What to Look For
Ease of Use
Updating and maintaining your Twitter accounts and other social networking sites requires time, but it is almost an essential task in this social-media-driven world. Therefore, a Twitter client must be easy to use, allowing you to easily add friends, colleagues and businesses, track conversations and mentions, update profiles and send messages all in one convenient location.
The beauty of using a Twitter client lies in the power to update all your networks and profiles at once, saving you time – time that could be invested somewhere else. The best Twitter client will include the following features:
Twitter Management – A Twitter client should provide Twitter management that fits your networking needs. Most clients are packed with features, allowing you to view several social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Foursquare through one convenient interface.
Design – Managing several social media sites, plus your blog, other RSS feeds and news directories, can be a challenge. And creating an interface that allows you to view them all at once is no small feat. To meet this challenge, many Twitter Clients have a column design. This design provides you with distinct separation between all networks. Most also add the ability to search keywords or mentions for each site. The desktop Twitter client you choose should have a clear and concise interface, which will enhance the overall simplicity and feel of the specific Twitter client.
Photos – For many, the ability to upload photos from a computer or mobile device to their Twitter clients is a sought-after feature. Many clients will provide you with the ability to upload photos from your computer or mobile device to your Twitter client. This sought-after feature, permits you to share photos from TwitPic, Yfrog, Flicker or your own desktop or mobile device. Once uploaded, your photos can be viewed within your specific Twitter client, but those using other networking sites or Twitter clients will see a link to your posted photos.
Desktop Capability – Whether at work or school, you need to have access to your social dashboard. A Windows Twitter client such as Seesmic or TweetDeck not only provides you with a web Twitter dashboard but you can also download a desktop version packed with features, many not found within the web-based version.
Mobile Capabilities
While having a desktop application is excellent for home and office use, a Twitter client must be versatile. The best have mobile capabilities, allowing them to be used with an iPod or iPad, Blackberry or Android phone for opportune, on-the-go use.
Help & Support
Twitter clients are constantly being updated, keeping "in tune" with what their customers want and need. Many updates evolve from FAQs or complaints made by users. With those updates come additional questions and concerns. Enter help and support options. Every Twitter client application should have FAQs for users to quickly reference as well as email or chat support, a community forum and a user manual or simple "how to" guide.
Twitter management tools are ideal for tracking both personal and business profiles. In fact, when businesses use either a web-based Twitter management tool or a desktop Twitter client, their customers will benefit immensely. The biggest asset is the ability to provide real-time reporting, meaning businesses can respond to their customer's needs as soon as their messages or replies are posted.
Keeping in touch with the world around you, not to mention family, friends, customers and colleagues, has never been easier (or less expensive) with a Twitter client. Whether you're on a desktop or mobile device, you can receive automatic updates 24/7 from your choice of news, fashion and arts sources. Get the information before you read it mainstream. Track your own conversations and mentions. Keep in touch and be in touch.

Reviews for Hawaiian Dinner Rolls
"I made these for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone liked them. I followed suggestions from other reviewers and will make these again using their suggestions! I used 1/2 cup pineapple juice (no water), 4 1/2 c. flour, and left out the coconut as my family doesn't like the coconut texture. The rolls took awhile to make but were well worth the wait! I used the extras for turkey mini sandwiches the next day :) Excellent recipe--a keeper for sure!"
"Great texture. Could barely discern the pineapple, so next time will eliminate the water and add 1/2C pineapple juice. I also added 1 extra cup of flour and left out the coconut as my hubby hates coconut. Great!"
"These turned out well. The coconut and pineapple were not strong flavors at all. Like others, I had to add more flour."
"I may try to make this recipe again adding more flour. The dough was way too soft and they came out more like biscuits. I served with rootbeer pulled pork and the flavor was good with them, however, I didn't like the texture."
"These are wonderful rolls and I'll definitely be making them to go with our ham for Easter dinner."

Which candidate's coaching tree can bear fruit?
Looking at a coaches win-loss record isn't the only way to identify how good he is.
It's also important to look at the caliber of his staff, or the staff he could put together, and identify if fruit has come off his coaching tree.
That's why my No. 1 concern about a couple of retreads – like Brian Billick for instance – or hot coordinator prospects – like Green Bay's Joe Philbin, Cincinnati's Jay Gruden or Carolina's Rob Chudzinski – is the caliber of coaching staff they can put together.
Billick's got one of the more impressive coaching threes, but most of his former defensive assistants are head coaches now. They can thank Ray Lewis and Ed Reed for that. But name the offensive standouts from Billick's staffs.
Philbin, Green Bay's offensive coordinator, will likely TRY to raid the Packers staff. Like most industries, head coaches in the NFL hire who they know, or who is recommended to them.
Chudzinski might pinpoint a few of his former Chargers peers and Panthers co-workers. Hey, one of his former mentors, Butch Davis, is out of work.
A veteran coach like Jeff Fisher, who is only one year removed from his role with the Titans, wouldn't have much of an issue getting the band back together. That's one of the biggest upsides to Fisher.
However, it would be interesting who Fisher names as his offensive coordinator considering his former playcaller, Mike Heimerdinger, died last year, and Mike Munchak is presently the head coach of the Titans.
Fisher's former quarterback coach is Craig Johnson, and he presently holds the same position with the Vikings. But Fisher switched Johnson to running backs coach his final season.
As for the fruit that has come off Fisher's tree, there's Gregg Williams, who was head coach of the Buffalo Bills for three seasons, producing a 17-31 record before getting fired at the end of 2003. He's presently the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints.
Then there's Lions coach Jim Schwartz, who spent nine years with the Titans before eventually getting a call up to head coach.
Schwartz, who moved up quickly under Fisher, serves as proof Fisher knows how to identify young coaching talent and develop it. Schwartz has a 18-30 record, but his Lions ended their super long playoff drought.
At this point I'm not optimistic about Fisher landing in Miami. If he does accept the position, that would be a huge get for Dolphins owner Steve Ross.
But it appears the division, Sam Bradford, the No. 2 pick (which could be traded or used for Robert Griffin III), and playing in a weaker division is more desirable than relocating to South Florida.
Fisher has always been my first choice, and I'm not just talking about this year. I wanted Fisher to replace Dave Wannstedt and Nick Saban. However, it doesn't look like Miami's his cup of tea, for whatever reason.
But Miami's next coach needs to be someone who young, talented assistants want to work for because they know they'll learn, produce winners, and be put in position to elevate.
Not every spot, or coaching candidate offers that.

This May (Saturday and Sunday the 19th and 20th, 2012, with a pub meet on Friday) the Orange County Freethought Alliance (consisting of 24 secular groups in the Orange County area; that's in southern California for those not in-the-know) is holding its third annual conference. I will be among the invited speakers and attendees. The conference theme is "Comparing the World Contributions: Science and Religion" (otherwise known as the millennial smackdown). My talk will be "Newsflash! Fine Tuning Proves There Is No God," summarizing my key findings on the cosmological argument in The End of Christianity (chapter 12, "Neither Life Nor the Universe Appear Intelligently Designed") and tying that in to the role of divine communication and "theology" as a method of knowing about the universe and God's plan. It will be just a half hour presentation, then fifteen minutes of Q&A. But I'll be attending the whole conference and would love to meet people from all over while I'm there.
The full list of speakers is pretty awesome: Michael Shermer, Bob Price, Phil Zuckerman, Dave Silverman, Aron Ra, Jim Underdown, Barbara Forrest, Brian Dunning, Dave Richards (of the local IIG), Heina Dadabhoy (of Skepchick fame), Dan Barker, and Mr. Deity. Barker will also be participating in a debate during the conference, with some stock theist or other out of central casting. There are a variety of different registration fees and other possible expenses (see here and here to assess them all and get a complete idea of what the options are), and it can sell out (if it hasn't already), so act fast!
I'm speaking that
Sunday afternoon (3pm) Saturday night (8pm), at least according to the current schedule (there will be a panel Q&A later). The conference is being held on the campus of UC Irvine, at the campus Student Center (I don't know where the Friday pub meet will be or where any of the meals and such will be served, but presumably you can find out at the UCI Student Center). On Saturday will be an afternoon session from 12pm to 5pm followed by the Barker-[Stock Godist] debate that evening. Sunday will be a morning session starting at 9am, and an afternoon session ending at 5pm. (The website's front page is a bit wonky right now, but you can find the current schedule here.)
Some of my books will be sold throughout the conference by the OCFA (if you want, just bring any of those up to me later and I'll sign them; ditto any books you already own and happen to bring). But I will also have a special sale at my own table after my talk for fifteen minutes (I earn the most from those sales). My new book Proving History will only be sold at the OCFA table (although if they run out, talk to me about possibly finding a couple more in the trunk of my car).
I have a lot of other appearances coming up, which I'll be blogging soon. But this is the first one to get all its details together and up on a website (and it's by registration only, so you'll want to secure a spot early).
