On its own the Arabic word al-Nakhwa, means "gallantry." Combined with the word "al-Arabiya" - "Arab gallantry" - the term becomes loaded with meanings, cultural and even political implications and subtext. But what is one to make of "Arab gallantry" during and after Israel's most brutal war on Gaza between 8 July and 26 August which killed 2,163 Palestinians and wounded over 11,000 more?
Is this the end of Arab Nakhwa? Did it even ever exist?
Participants in the ambitious ten-day First Annual Sebastopol Village Building Convergence (VBC) painted murals on streets in this small Northern California town and filled the Grange Hall, the Permaculture Skills Center and other sites from September 12 to 21.
On the final day, a colorful, active parade marched from the weekly farmers' market in the downtown plaza through a newly-painted street with murals of salmon, dogs, coyote tracks, a Spirit Bird and other wildlife. Over 400 people, including many children, participated in that painting. One theme of the march was climate protection, coinciding with the People's Climate March (PCM) in New York City and elsewhere around the planet on Sept. 21.
Two Afghan stories this week suggest much about US progress in winning hearts and minds there. The first involves Hamid Karzai. Afghanistan's departing president, the "Mayor of Kabul," Karzai asserted that "America did not want peace for Afghanistan, because it had its own agendas and goals here." It's easy to paint Karzai as a dissembling ingrate, which is exactly what the American ambassador to Afghanistan did in response. But it truly says something that Karzai, the recipient of more than $100 billion in developmental aid from the US for Afghanistan (not including military aid!), portrays the US as working against the interests of the Afghan people. There's one heart and mind the US plainly didn't win.
The second story involves three Afghan officers, one major and two captains, on a training mission at Camp Edwards in Massachusetts. The three officers, carefully vetted by US Central Command, decided they had had enough of working with America. They drove to New York and attempted to enter Canada at Niagara Falls, seeking asylum, or so it seems. There are three more hearts and minds the US plainly didn't win.
Oakland – Reforming California's sentences for low-level crimes would alleviate prison and jail overcrowding, make communities safer, strengthen families, and shift resources from imprisoning people to treating them for the addictions and mental health problems at the root of many crimes, according to a study released today.
Rehabilitating Corrections in California, a Health Impact Assessment of reforms proposed by a state ballot initiative, predicts the changes would reduce crime, recidivism, racial inequities in sentencing, and save the state and its counties $600 million to $900 million a year – but only if treatment and rehabilitation programs are fully funded and implemented properly.
We've known for a long time that the Earth is warming, but it could be worse than we thought. A recent report from the World Meteorological Association concludes that carbon pollution and the buildup of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are increasing much faster than projected. And this pollution is putting communities across the country at a higher risk of droughts, intense storms, floods, and other problems brought on by global warming.
In the Chesapeake Bay region, we're on the front lines of climate change. Streets in Norfolk, Virginia, home to nearly a quarter of a million people and the world's largest naval base, routinely flood during heavy rains. Wind- and wave-pushed storm surges make the flooding even worse. And scientists estimate sea levels in Norfolk will rise another foot and a half within the next 50 years.
The US is racing down a slippery slope towards war in Iraq and Syria. Since Aug. 8, the US has conducted more than 124 airstrikes in Iraq. Approximately 1,000 US troops are now on the ground in Iraq, with at least 350 more currently on their way.
President Obama initially said the bombing was part of a humanitarian mission to assist the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq being threatened by ISIS, the fundamentalist Islamic army that now controls wide swaths of Iraq and Syria. But Obama has now announced an open-ended bombing campaign, and he has ordered Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Secretary of State John Kerry into the region to build military and political coalitions to sustain a long term war against ISIS.

Now that we all agree that climate change is happening, has become an emergency after at least two decades of denial and procrastination, and requires urgent action, I suggest that presently there is no informing dialogue about the full spectrum of climate change danger with the full spectrum of possible solutions.
Part I - The Zionists Have a Problem
Due to Israel's brutal racism and repeated attacks on Palestinian civilians, it is losing popular support internationally. As this happens, the Zionists appear to be intensifying pressure on societal and political elites, particularly in the US and other Western states, to maintain policies that support and protect Israel's criminal behavior. Their vehicle for achieving this goal has always been financial gifts and donations to elite individuals and institutions. These gifts and donations help grease the wheels, so to speak, of the systems of power through which the elites operate, and create a monetary dependency on, among others, Zionist donors. It also creates an obligation to respond to these donors' needs. The result is a growing disconnect between evolving popular attitudes toward Israel and the static positions held and actions taken by the elites.
American Zionist leaders are aware of this gap and they take it seriously. However, they have a problem in that open debate and the offering of evidence can no longer win the argument for their side. In short, the Zionists don't have a monopoly anymore on the story of how Israel came to be and Palestine came not to be. And without that monopoly, the imperialist origins and ongoing racist nature of Israel are can no longer be concealed.
I've written or edited several books in my life and each of them have been special, especially since most were banned by Tucson's school district during the state's infamous battle in Arizona to eliminate Raza Studies, However, this one, Our Sacred Maíz Is Our Mother, released early by the University of Arizona Press, seems to be a little more special. Perhaps it is so because it speaks to a topic that recognizes no borders and connects peoples from across this continent, and it is a story that arguably goes back some 7,000 years.
The actual title of this book is Nin Tonantzin Non Centeotl. Translated, it means – Nuestro Maíz sagrado es Nuestra Madre – Our Sacred Maíz is our Mother. Only the English appears on the front cover. However, Nin Tonantzin Non Centeotl does appear on the title page, along with the names of 9 Indigenous elders or teachers who contributed maíz origin/creation/migration stories from throughout Abya Yala, Cemanahuac or Pacha Mama – from throughout the continent: Veronica Castillo Hernandez, Maestra Angelbertha Cobb, Luz Maria de la Torre, Paula Domingo Olivares, Tata Cuaxtle Felix Evodio, Maria Molina Vai Sevoi, Francisco Pos, Irma Tzirin Scoop and Alicia Seyler.
Who would have thought that the president elected on an anti-Iraq war stance and promises to represent the polar opposite of the Bush administration would love war so much? As horrendous as the Bush administration was, there is no point in using the "Obama has inherited Bush's mess" rhetoric to counter the latter claim. In an interview with Democracy Now (and via various other forums) four-star General Wesley Clark exposed a memo with a 5 year plan that was to be adopted shortly after September 11th 2001. The plan involved toppling the governments of 7 countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. The expectation that plans like these would come to an end when Obama was elected was a naïve yet hopeful aspiration that many shared.

Ghost Town
Ghost Town was the name given to a place in Grand Theft Auto III, a "hidden" place, not supposed to be accessed during normal game play. This place was used in the introduction to the game where Claude is helping to rob the bank, before being betrayed and shot by Catalina. Ghost Town is basically a street with the Liberty City Bank and some Securicar's parked outside.
During gameplay on the console versions of the game, it can only be accessed by flying the Dodo there, very few of the objects are solid and so there is nowhere to land and look around. However, on the PC version, a patch was made which places a bridge which you can drive along, to visit Ghost Town more easily.

Gerry Mulligan: A Ballad
A Ballad
Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax)
The Original Gerry Mulligan Tentet & Quartet (GNP Crescendo 56)
Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax), Chet Baker (trumpet), Pete Candoli (trumpet), Bob Enevoldsen (valve trombone), John Graas (French horn), Bud Shank (alto sax), Joe Mondragon (bass), Chico Hamilton (drums),
Ray Siegel (tuba), Don Davidson (baritone sax).
Composed and arranged by Gerry Mulligan.
Recorded: Los Angeles, January 29, 1953
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
As chief arranger and co-principal soloist, Gerry Mulligan helped deliver Miles Davis's obstetric triumph Birth of the Cool (1949-50). Three years later and on the opposite coast, Mulligan added a second trumpet and baritone sax to the 1950 BOTC octet lineup for an ad hoc "Tentette" that proved nearly as influential as the earlier band. Gerry contributes a lovely solo to this track, but its appeal is his gorgeous arrangement, answering Gil Evans's miraculous "Moon Dreams" chart for BOTC. "A Ballad" is deficient only in its title—rather like naming your newborn "A Baby." Otherwise it's three minutes of perfection.

California's Racial History and Constitutional Rationales for Race-Conscious Decision Making in Higher Education
Richard Delgado
University of Alabama - School of Law
Jean Stefancic
University of Alabama - School of Law
UCLA Law Review, Vol. 47, p. 1521, 2001
U. of Pittsburgh Legal Studies Research Paper Series
Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic examine the history of racial mistreatment of citizens of color in California. Beginning with incidents of racial brutality during the early Spanish colonial period and proceeding into the present, Delgado and Stefancic reveal that California has not been the egalitarian paradise many suppose. The authors write against a background of recent attacks on affirmative action in higher education which raise the prospect that the diversity rationale that universities had relied on to justify race-conscious admissions policies may no longer be constitutional. Recognizing this possibility, the authors offer remediation-making amends for past misbehavior--as an alternative basis for maintaining race-conscious programs in higher education. In particular, the authors argue that historical and recent racial discrimination in states such as California provides sufficient justification for adjusting admissions and hiring practices so that affected minority groups are placed in the status quo ante, that is, the position they would have been in had the discrimination not taken place.

In the last decade Hollywood and New York have gone hand in jazz hand. Here are a few films which have gotten the silver screen treatment over the past decade.
Others to get the treatment include:
"Les Miserables"
"The Producers"
"Sweeney Todd"
"Mama Mia"
Coming to theaters this winter is the Stephen Sondheim musical "Into The Woods," starring Anna Kendrick, Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, and Emily Blunt.
The number one longest-running American musical 'pop, six, squished' its way to the big screen during the holiday in 2002. The film starred Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger as Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart, and Richard Gere who portrayed Billy Flynn.
The show's premise is the time Zeta-Jones and Zellweger spent in a 1920s Chicago jail on death row, and the struggle to keep the fame that came along with it. Along with the two actresses were many famous acts, such as Queen Latifah, Taye Diggs, John C. Reilly, and Lucy Liu.
"Chicago" the film was a box office success earning over $170 million domestically, and over $136 million internationally. Along with its monetary success, "Chicago" brought in six Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Zeta-Jones, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing and Best Sound.
Some of the songs that made the Broadway musical come to life on screen include: "And All That Jazz," "Cell Block Tango," and "Mr. Cellophane."
Currently, it's the second highest grossing musical behind of "Grease." As of last week the musical grossed over $600,000 on Broadway. In 2002, the film it was in the top 10 of highest grossing films for that year, proving Broadway has a pull even in Hollywood.
This movie debuted in 2007 and just could not be stopped. Rather than a holiday release "Hairspray" released during the summer.
"Hairspray" saw the firsts of many actors, such as John Travolta in drag, as Edna Turnblad, Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad, newcomer at the time Zac Efron, and Amanda Bynes.
The musical is set in the 1960s and about Tracy Turnblad who wants to be on the "Corny Collins Show," and the struggle of integration in Baltimore. The show includes a wide range of characters who develop the show into the 2007 film. One of those characters is Edna Turnblad, Tracy's mother, who in both the film and Broadway versions was portrayed by a male.
The musical ran from 2002 to 2009, with a $265 million gross, and winner of eight Tony Awards.
Some of the songs which brought the beat to the film include: "Good Morning Baltimore," "You Can't Stop The Beat," "I Can Hear the Bells," and "Big, Blonde, and Beautiful."
As far as gross in the musical category, "Hairspray" is currently in the number six spot, behind "Enchanted." In 2007, the film was in the number 24 spot, domestically.
This show left us wondering how to measure the life of a woman or a man.
"RENT" became a silver screen spectacle in the holiday season of 2005. Originally opening on Broadway in 1996.
The musical centers around the lives of eight individuals living in New York City in 1990, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the time. The musical is based off the opera "La Puccini," with the time frame of that opera being in the 1800s and tuberculosis being the epidemic of the time.
"RENT" the film grossed over $29 million domestically and is number 28 in the musical grossing category. For the year 2005, "RENT" placed in the top 100 films in terms of gross at number 94.
The musical ran for 5,123 performances and is among one of the longest running musicals.
Some of the songs which have vibrated with audiences include: "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Boheme," "I'll Cover You," "Light My Candle," and "Take Me or Leave Me."
Many of the actors, which performed the musical, were also in the film, such as Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Wilson Heredia, and Jesse Martin.
"The Phantom of the Opera"
This musical haunted its way to the big screen in the holiday season of 2004.
The film is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical adaptation of the story of the phantom. The story tells of a phantom who haunts an opera house in Paris, and Christine who is a former dancer who becomes the phantom's newest obsession, and the opera house's newest shining star. The musical is one of the longest running musicals in Broadway history.
The film stars Emmy Rossum as Christine and Gerard Butler as the Phantom. The film grossed over $51 million domestically, and is number 16 in the musical grossing category. In 2004, the film was listed as number 63 in the highest grossing films of the year. The film was also nominated for three Oscar Awards.
Some of the iconic songs of the longest running musical include: "Think of Me," "Masquerade," "The Music of the Night," "Angel of Music," and the title track, "The Phantom of the Opera."
Other actors who were in the film include, Minnie Driver, Jennifer Ellison, Miranda Richardson, and Patrick Wilson.
This film performed better overseas garnering over $103 million.

Sterling drops second round game to defending NAIA Division II national champions Northwestern College
After scoring 93 points in their opener at the NAIA Division II national tournament the Sterling College Lady Warriors struggled offensively in their second round game versus Northwestern College (IA) and had no answer for NWC guards Becca Hurley (24 points) and Kami Kuhlmann (22 points) who combined for 64% of the Red Raiders 72 points in the contest. The victory was Northwestern's seventh straight victory at the NAIA Division II national tournament.
It took Sterling almost three minutes to score its first points of the contest which came on an inside bucket by senior Ashley Kraft. Kraft led Sterling in scoring with 20 points and she was the only Lady Warrior to reach double figures. Britany Gasper added 8 points and Jacci Tinkel 7 points to round-out SC's top three offensive performers.
Sterling managed to stay in the game early with a strong defensive effort, holding the Red Raiders to just five points during the opening five minutes of the game. But during the next 5:30, Northwestern found its offensive rhythm and went on a 16-7 run to extend its lead to 21-9.
But just when it appeared Northwestern was ready to run away with the contest, Sterling fought back to go on a 9-3 run and cut the Red Raider advantage to 24-18 with just over five minutes remaining in the opening frame.
The final minutes of the first half proved to be critical however, as Northwestern hit three 3-point baskets as part of a key 11-7 run to extend its lead to 35-25 at the intermission.
The Lady Warriors shot a disappointing 35% from the floor in the first half while NWC shot an impressive 50% from the field which included a strong 5 of 10 endeavor from behind the three point line. Sterling was led in scoring during the first half by Kraft with 11 points. Northwestern was led by Kuhlmann with 13 while Hurley added 12. Sterling forced 11 Red Raider turnovers in the opening half but committed 10 to neutralize a positive defensive effort.
In the second half, Northwestern again took momentum early as a 10-4 run in the opening five minutes led to a sixteen point (45-29) Red Raider lead.
During the next six minutes both team played fairly even and with nine minutes remaining in the contest Northwestern had extended its lead to 17 points (52-35).
Sterling made one more final run at Northwestern when the Lady Warriors went on an impressive 10-4 spurt to close the Red Raider lead to 11 points (56-45) with six minutes remaining in the contest. But Sterling would get no closer as Northwestern finished with a 16-10 run to complete a decisive 72-55 victory.
The Lady Warriors again struggled offensively in the second half, shooting just 27% from the floor which included a dismal 1 of 11 effort (9%) from behind the three-point line. Sterling gained a narrow advantage on the boards grabbing 39 rebounds in the game. SC also took four more shots from the floor than Northwestern and six more free-throws but the Lady Warriors could not capitalize on those benefits as cold shooting plagued the team throughout the evening.
The loss dropped Sterling's overall record to 27-6 this season and was the final game for seniors Ashley Kraft, Jacci Tinkel, Hillary Stucky, Ashley Gasper, Jill Boeckman and Erin Thiessen.
This was Sterling's 11th appearance in the "Sweet Sixteen" at the NAIA Division II national tournament.

LAS VEGAS—Porn starlets and webcam models looking to monetize their careers now have a new webcam company to join. Nookie Chat is entering the webcam market with 70 percent payouts, tips and the ability to sell streaming video of the models' past webcam shows on the site.
Isis Love is the face of the company and Brandy Aniston, Veronica Avluv, Kendra Lust and Jayla Diamond have also signed on for weekly shows, with more porn stars and amateurs signing up daily.

I have some .38 revolvers that are not +P rated. I don't use them for SD, but if I ever wanted to, I am looking for info on factory loads for defensive use. Links and info to back up recomendations is preferred, but not required. I am up to date on .357 and 38+p so that info is not needed. I also own other caliber weapons besides 38, so I don't want any "you aught to git you a (enter other caliber here)" comments
This will just help speed up my "hobby" search on the subject.
I know there are a lot of people with vast knowledge on this board and am looking forward to reading your recomendations.
Thanks, in advance.

Oak Creek Homes In Sanger, TX has been providing comfortable, affordable, factory-built homes to the Dallas / Ft. Worth area for over forty years. We want to thank you for your confidence and support as we celebrate this year and the completion of our 50,000th home.
We're a manufactured and modular housing producer with three manufacturing facilities serving 14 states, including Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. In 40 years, we've built more than 42,000 homes, and have been a leading producer of modular homes in Texas and along the Gulf Coast for the past ten years. We have a solid reputation for quality and are the only producer offering homebuyers a 7-Year Service Protection Package.
Our regional focus has allowed us to develop a complete line of affordable homes to meet almost every need. Our homes range from basic, value-series models to larger, developer-series models. Our homes are more affordable than site-built homes and still have all their features. Our other products include dormitory-style housing, portable oil field units, and commercial offices. We can meet any need, from relatively inexpensive temporary solutions to affordable permanent housing.
We can typically produce a home in four to eight weeks. Because our homes are built in a controlled environment, there are virtually no weather-related construction delays.
In addition to constructing the home, we often arrange for delivery and installation of the home, the HVAC and other details. We have in-house access to insurance and financing resources to simplify the buying process for homebuyers. We'll do as much as you want us to.
Best wishes to you.

Manufactured homes, are built in a factory. Each home conforms to the US government's Construction and Safety Standards (HUD code), rather than to building codes enforced at the home's destination. Each home or segment of a home is labeled with a red tag that is the manufacturer's guarantee the home was built to conform to the HUD code. Oak Creek manufactured homes exceed HUD code construction requirements and are known for their quality and attention to finish detail. Each of our homes comes with a 7-Year Service Protection Package – the strongest in the industry.
You are assured of first-rate construction, because all manufactured homes built since 1976 must meet the strict performance standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The department's code requires the highest standards in every phase of construction and its requirements are comparable to the Standard Building Code for site-built homes. Oak Creek Homes has its own quality assurance program, and every home's design and construction is inspected and approved by an independent outside source.
Oak Creek Homes built for the Gulf Coast are designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. As for fire, insurance company studies concluded that the chance of fire in a site-built home is twice that of today's manufactured home. Thanks to stringent building codes, safety inspection standards and anchoring requirements, an Oak Creek manufactured home may be the safest home you can buy.
To find the date of manufacture, look for a data plate located inside your home, usually on or near the main electrical panel, in a kitchen cabinet, or in a bedroom closet. The data plate offers information about the home's heating, cooling, and other appliances and components. The data plate also shows you the wind zone and snow load for which the home was built. A red HUD label with a stamped serial number should be attached to the exterior of the home.
No. Some communities and developments do not allow manufactured housing. Research local zoning ordinances, deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, and other similar documents before purchasing land for a manufactured home. If you are moving into a community with ordinances or construction restrictions, you may want to consider an Oak Creek modular home.
Yes, but make sure you use a transport company that is familiar with the laws for moving such structures. You should also consider the zone for which the manufactured home was originally constructed. Never move a manufactured home to a zone with more restrictive wind, thermal, or roof load requirements than the zone for which it was built. Check the data plate for zoning information. Climate differences and the cost of moving your manufactured home might make it more practical to sell it and purchase another at your new location.
Financing a manufactured home is no more difficult than financing any other home. Personal property financing is readily available. Conventional, VA, FHA and other financing programs, with terms of up to 30 years, are available when a home is financed as real property. Lenders are active in financing manufactured homes because studies prove that the appreciation of these homes is comparable to the appreciation of site-built homes. Oak Creek Homes can help you with a number of financing options to fit your needs and budget.
Most manufacturers offer a Protection Plan that covers the home and its systems during a stated Protection Plan period. Some appliances may be covered by their own warranties. Before you purchase a manufactured home, find out which items are covered by Protection Plan, who offers the Protection Plan, and how Protection Plan repairs are performed. Oak Creek Homes sold at participating Oak Creek home Centers are covered with a 7-Year Service Protection Package. Just ask for details when you visit a participating home center.
Oak Creek Homes takes pride in the fact that we offer personal service after the sale and installment of all of our homes. Our goal is to have happy customers that we can turn to for recommendations for future home buyers. In the event of a problem, please call your service representative and we will do everything we can to correct the problem as quickly and conveniently as possible.
Modular homes are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where they are never subjected to adverse weather conditions. The sections move through the factory, with the company's quality control department checking them after every step. Finished modules are covered for protection, then transported to your home site. They are placed on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed.
That depends on your design, but some modular homes can be built in the factory in as little as 4-6 weeks. And since modulars are built indoors, there's never a weather delay. It usually takes another 2-4 weeks to complete the home once it's delivered to the building site.
Mobile homes, now called manufactured homes, are built to conform to the same federal code, no matter where they will be delivered. That code is called the HUD code. A modular home conforms to the building codes that are required at the specific location it will be delivered to, and in many cases construction exceeds the required codes.
No, and unless you were there to see the house delivered and assembled, you might not guess it's a modular home. Oak Creek offers a broad array of exterior designs and interior floor plans.
Yes. Most banks, appraisers, and insurance companies treat modular homes the same way they do site built homes--a house that's constructed entirely on your property. Oak Creek Homes offers a number of financing options for you to consider. Please use this web site to fill out a loan application and the mortgage calculator to help you determine the monthly payments that best fit your budget.
We believe you Oak Creek homes offer a terrific value for the dollar and typically costs less per square foot than a similar site-built home. And there are other cost-saving features:
are homes built entirely in the factory, transported to the site, and installed under a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act (commonly known as the HUD Code) went into effect June 15, 1976. Prior to this date, this type of home was known as a mobile home. The federal standards regulate manufactured housing design and construction, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD Code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally-regulated national building code. Oak Creek uses building materials and techniques that in many cases far exceed the minimum HUD code.
We take the expertise in building the highest quality modular home and put it in every home we build. Technological advances, evolutionary designs, and a focus on delivering quality homes that families can afford are the driving forces within the manufactured housing industry. That's why more people are turning to Oak Creek to deliver manufactured homes that fit their needs and wants, at prices they can afford!
Compare Manufactured vs Modular Construction
construction is more exacting than that found in "site-built" homes and it incorporates the efficiencies and quality control developed for "off-site" home construction.
The materials and construction techniques you would expect in any quality-built home are exceeded in an Oak Creek modular home. You also have the added confidence of knowing that your modular home was built in a quality-controlled environment under the watchful eyes of people 30 years of home-building experience. An added benefit is the fact that the brand-name materials used in the construction of your home are never exposed to rain or damaging weather during the building process.
Modular homes are perfect for city or country living because they can be constructed so quickly. Remote rural homesites pose no problems for modular home construction as they might for a site-built home. With modular construction, crews of carpenters, electricians, plumbers and painters that move from job to job are not needed, and therefore do not delay your move-in date.
In the city, Oak Creek modular homes can be built just about anywhere because the only difference between Oak Creek modular homes and a site-built home is where they are constructed – not how.
Whether you're looking for cottage comfort or wide-open spaces for a large family, an Oak Creek modular home can be built for you. Load bearing and exterior walls are typically 2"x4" or optional 2"x 6" studs on 16" centers, available residential 6/12 roof systems and some models even include sunset-friendly porches. Oak Creek modular homes are erected on a permanent foundation just like a site-built home. The homesite is prepared, an engineered foundation is built and the home is erected on the foundation. Some models can be built with optional wind load specifications up to 140 mph.
Oak Creek uses brand names you trust in the construction of your new home. From floor to ceiling, fixtures to appliances, every feature of our homes provides you comfort, security and ease of maintenance long into the future.
Oak Creek modular homes are built for energy efficiency – thermal pane windows, elevated levels of insulation and a 13-SEER air conditioning system – start the list. Not only does this mean a more comfortable environment for you and your family, it also means that you will save thousands of dollars in energy bills over the years.
When you tour an Oak Creek modular home, we ask that you look at the details. Notice the cabinetry, trim and fixtures. You'll discover quality workmanship and brand-names that you know and trust. The same is true of the appliances we put in all of our homes. You can expect many years of trouble-free service for you and your family.
Oak Creek promises that all of the materials used in the construction of your home meet or exceed recommended guidelines and codes. When you compare manufacturers this is especially important to note. We place great pride – and you will place great value – in Oak Creek quality.
Not only does Oak Creek offer home designs with 1,100 to over 3,000 square feet of living space, our home builders make every aspect of the home-buying experience easy – from choosing the home you want – through purchase and homesite preparation – to Protection Plan service after move-in. Modular homes, like traditional site-built homes, are financed with a mortgage. Our modular homes qualify for the same mortgage programs as traditional site-built homes. Plus, our Protection Plan (available from participating builders) is the best in the industry and we will respond quickly to address any possible problems that occur after move-in.
Registration as a manufactured housing retailer or installer is not the same as registration as an industrialized builder through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The TDLR registers all approved modular homebuilders.
The following model homes are available to tour at our Design Center. Call us to set up a no-hassle visit and discover the "Oak Creek Difference."

About Noel Granger...
I first became a Laker in 2009 as a freshman. I graduated from LSSU in 2013 with a double major in International Business and Marketing. Attending LSSU was the best option for me because it opened up many opportunities to enhance my professional portfolio as a business student.
I love to dance and am a proud alumni of the Lake Superior Dance Company. When I am not practicing in the dance studio I enjoy hiking, camping and crafting. I am originally from Fraser, Michigan, a small town north of Detroit. Although I grew up in metro Detroit, I fell in love with Sault Ste. Marie quickly. Sault Ste. Marie is home of many historic sites including the famous Soo Locks and every season offers new and beautiful outdoor scenery.
I am excited you are interested in becoming a Laker! I hope to meet with you here on campus or perhaps at a college fair or while visiting your high school. Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to helping you discover what it means to be a Laker!

I just wonder if my following solution is true.
Let $X,Y$ be sets, let $f:X\to Y$ be a function, let $\{Y_i\}_{i\in I}$ be a family of subsets of $Y$. (Note: I use equalities instead of mutual containment)
$$f^{-1}[\bigcup_{i\in I} Y_i] = \{x \in X: \mbox{there exists an}\quad i \in I\mbox{ such that } y \in Y_i,f(x)=y\} =\bigcup_{i \in I} f^{-1}[Y_i] $$
I initially do not know how to get from the left to right, but when I put both sets in set notation, they turn out to be the same, hence the one line proof. Something go ultimately wrong?

|Statement of Caroline Smith DeWaal
Director of Food Safety
for the Center for Science in the Public Interest on the
Introduction of the Fruit and Vegetable Safety Act of 1999
Who doesnt like strawberries or fat, juicy raspberries? Who can resist the first
asparagus of the year? A cornucopia of fruits and vegetables is available all year-round which
provide a definite health benefit, as long as they are safe. At CSPI, we are constantly urging our
million consumer members to eat their fruits and vegetables at least five times a day.
Unfortunately, consumers have also gotten sick from fruits and vegetables contaminated
with foodborne pathogens. In a survey of 225 food-poisoning outbreaks, CSPI found that over
20% were linked to produce items, second only to meat and poultry. Today, we are releasing a chart documenting 55 outbreaks linked to fruits, vegetables, or salads
that have occurred since
Just this winter, 72 consumers were sickened by the potentially deadly E. coli O157:H7. The source was not hamburger meat, but iceberg lettuce. You'll note that the deadly E. coli has turned up on lettuce many times in our list of outbreaks. Hundreds have been sickened from contaminated alfalfa sprouts. Two years ago, hundreds became ill from a virus found on Mexican strawberries that were served in the school lunch program, and thousands were sickened by imported raspberries harboring a parasite. Who knows what fruit or vegetable could be the next hazard?
Contaminated fruits and vegetables aren't the type of problem that consumers can solve with better cooking or washing; it has to be fixed at the farm or the processing plant. That is why Senator Harkins bill is so important to American consumers. Before the government has to issue advisories warning consumers against eating fruits and vegetables, lets fix the problem at its source. Making sure that farmers and processors use the most up-to-date methods for producing safe food is an important government task, one that will benefit not only consumers, but also the farmers who grow the food.

This year I left my job of 13 years in tourism and studied Osho Rebalancing deep tissue massage. It was a big leap from me to go from a job that kept me very in my head to a practice that starts in your own body and heals another. The training has been experiential in the most part with intense 3-day workshops followed by a month of self practice. One of the things that has been most interesting is how I have related to practicing on my friends and family. Its not as easy as one might expect. Knowing so much about people that you are treating can be a hindrance rather than a help sometimes as you are not observing impartially but watching through the filter of all you already know and feel about that person.
I have really enjoyed learning something new, not only because filling my brain with fresh information was extremely invigorating, but because I have adopted a healing modality that will stay with me forever. The process of rebalancing can be life changing and I am looking forward to sharing it.

College Hockey:Clarkson Extends Unbeaten Streak Downing RPI
Golden Knights Streak At 10 Games
TROY, N.Y. — Junior Shawn Weller had a goal and three assists and junior netminder David Leggio stopped 30 shots to lead Clarkson University, the tenth-ranked team in the nation, to a 4-1 victory over Rensselaer in an ECAC Hockey League game at the Houston Field House.
Following a scoreless first period in which RPI held a 6-1 advantage in shots, Clarkson got two quick goals and then a third late for a 3-1 lead after two periods. Junior Nick Dodge scored on a rebound at 4:08 and Weller tallied just 17 seconds later to give the visitors a 2-0 lead. Dodge's goal, a power-play marker, came from the bottom of the left faceoff circle. He was assisted by Weller and David Cayer. Weller's goal, which was from between the circles, was set up by Matt Beca and Steve Zalewski.
Oren Eizenman cut RPI's deficit in half when he scored on a wraparound at the 14:21 mark but Zalewski put the Golden Knights back ahead by two goals on a rebound of his breakaway shot. Zalewski batted the puck out of midair for the goal after his initial shot was stopped by Jordan Alford. Eizenman's goal was assisted by freshmen defensemen Garett Vassel and Christian Jensen.
The Golden Knights added an empty-net goal by Beca with 1:25 left to seal the win.
The Golden Knights, who came in with the second-best power play in the nation, went 1-for-4 with the man-advantage while the Engineers were 0-for-6. Alford made 21 saves in the loss for RPI.
Clarkson (14-5-3, 6-2-2 ECACHL) now owns the longest unbeaten streak in the nation with its streak of 10 games (8-0-2).
Rensselaer (6-11-6, 2-6-3 ECACHL) is right back at the Houston Field House on Saturday when it hosts league foe St. Lawrence in the 30th Big Red Freakout! beginning at 7pm. Clarkson travels to Union for an ECAC Hockey League game on Saturday at 7pm.

Phil Woods: Adi¾s Nonino
Adios Nonino
Phil Woods (clarinet)
Astor & Elis (Chesky JD 146)
Phil Woods (clarinet), Bill Charlap (piano), David Finck (bass),
Phil Markowitz (synthesizer), Eric Friedlander (cello), Duduka Da Fonseca (drums, percussion).
Composed by Astor Piazzolla.
Recorded: New York, May 28-30, 1996
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
As prolific a recording artist as Phil Woods has been, many listeners may have missed his moving tribute CD to New Tango innovator Astor Piazzolla and the legendary Brazilian singer Elis Regina. Then again, some of Woods's more insular bebop fans may have looked upon this project as an oddity and simply passed it by. The only odd thing about it, however, is that Woods played clarinet exclusively on the Piazzolla tunes, and alto sax only on the Brazilian numbers dedicated to Regina. Also, with the prominent aid of Friedlander's cello, Woods emphasized the lyrical beauty of Astor's compositions in lieu of extended improvisations.
The famous "Adi¾s Nonino" was written by Piazzolla in 1959 shortly after the passing of his father, Vicente, who was affectionately known as Nonino. Piazzolla recorded it a year later with his very first New Tango Quintet. Woods's elegant clarinet sound graces Piazzolla's legato lament, touchingly enhanced by Friedlander's counterlines and Finck's resonant bass notes, as the three expressively delineate the piece's verse/chorus structure. Charlap, the lone soloist, contributes a delicately struck, understated gem. Woods then reverently articulates the main theme a final time. Woods first met Piazzolla in 1956, and some 40 years later created this very stylish salute to him.

George Zimmerman Charged With A Felony?
This caught my attention tonight, and I thought I'd throw it out there. Looks like George Zimmerman (who was aquited in Trayvon Martin's death recently) is in trouble once again, allegedly.
According to CNN.com, he has been "charged with a felony after allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend. He has reportedly (and allegedly) been charged with aggravated assault according to officers in Seminole County, Florida, He is in jail at the time of this writing.
This is not the first time he's had problems with the law since the whole Martin incident, by the way (allegedly).
I just saw it pop up on my iPhone while eating dinner and I thought you should know.
I have nothing more to add, folks, except the word allegedly. I'm getting more and more touchy writing about things in the news that I can't confirm, so it's CYA time for me. Lord knows there have been errors in reporting – including CNN (allegedly). So I use that word in an effort to make the radio station lawyers grin with relief.
Have a nice night, and stay out of trouble.

I'm trying to join my windows 7 desktop to our companies domain. The domain is all set up and other win7 boxes are joined to the domain OK. When I try to join the domain, I get prompted for credentials, I enter the valid credentails, and then get the error "The network was was not found".
It seems that DNS servers are a common cause of this, so on IPConfig /all I can see I have a valid looking connection-specific DNS suffix, and I have 2 IPs in my DNS servers list (the same as another PC I looked at that is on the domain). I changed the ipv4 config to explicitly use these DNS server IPs rather than obtain automatically, to no avail.
I can access computers on the network (I get prompted for credentails which then works), its just joining the domain that doesn't work.
I'm not very skilled at AD / network issues so it might be something obvious ;)
It seems that we're using google public DNS (126.96.36.199) instead of one on our server. So the problem is likely to be that when trying to join the domain, the computer is using google to try and find the server FQN - which it isn't going to find. Is there a way round this? I tried changing the DNS server to the IP of the server, but it doesn't like that.

Austin, Texas — In an extraordinary reversal of political alignments, rail transit advocates, and inner-city neighborhoods considered most supportive of urban rail for this Central Texas city, appear to be lining up to oppose an official urban rail plan favored by city officials, the local transit agency, and a government consortium called Project Connect. (Disclosure: This reporter, a transportation planner, also serves as a technical consultant to one of the pro-transit groups opposing the official plan.)
The proposal, priced at $1.4 billion, would build a 9.5-mile electric light rail line stretching from a moribund shopping center called Highland Mall in the north central part of Austin, eastward and southward to a southeastern terminus in the East Riverside area, distinguished by clusters of moderate-price apartments inhabited by a high proportion of college students. In between, trains would travel through a $230 million tunnel, then in mixed traffic past several older neighborhoods parallel to I-35. The line would then thread through the East Campus of the University of Texas (UT), through downtown, and across the Colorado River on a $130 million "signature bridge", before joining East Riverside Drive and reaching its terminus.
Opponents say that's not a route relevant to most Austinites. Many rail supporters prefer a route along the central north-south axis of the city, a corridor following Guadalupe St. north, then North Lamar Blvd. The corridor is rated among the 100 most heavily traveled arteries in Texas, and it also serves the West Campus area next to UT, the third most densely populated neighborhood in the state.
Critics say the substantial cost of the Project Connect line is not justified by the projected performance, and the Guadalupe-Lamar route would attract much higher ridership for significantly lower cost. According to a report in the website Austin Rail Now, at $119 million per mile, the Highland-Riverside line would be the third most costly urban rail project, per mile, in U.S. history. Project Connect says its plan would require a major property tax rate increase to support general obligation bonds to fund the local share of the project.
Interviewed as a transportation planning expert in a segment broadcast on May 28th by the local NPR radio station, KUT-FM, I asked, "Why would a city our size put in something that is so pricey on a very weak route?" Referring to Guadalupe-Lamar, I pointed out that "The main travel corridor is in the center of the city ... That's where it needs to go."
Project Connect estimates the Highland-Riverside project would carry an average of 16,000 riders each weekday. "This proposal is a great start to offering alternatives to sitting in congestion" said Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell, a key backer of the plan, in a recent TV interview.
However, supporters of the Guadalupe-Lamar urban rail alternative emphasize that there's currently no congestion in the proposed Highland-Riverside route. Scott Morris, treasurer of Our Rail PAC, which opposes the Project Connect proposal, argued the project would cost too much and serve too small a population.
Quoted in a recent issue of the local Community Impact newspaper, Morris said Our Rail would rather see urban rail run in the Lamar-Guadalupe corridor because of much higher ridership potential. He cited data from a 2000 project study forecasting as many as 37,400 daily riders on that route by 2025 — more than double the 16,000 of the Highland-East Riverside route.
"We need an expandable backbone as our starter line" Morris emphasized. "The first investment will need to pay for other expansions."
In the KUT interview I focused on the advantages of the Guadalupe-Lamar corridor, noting "that's where the activity is; that's where the travel is; that's where the rail needs to be...."

Wildcats Spring Practice Report: April 8
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 04/08/2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman Football got back to the gridiron Monday afternoon, holding its 10th session of the 2013 spring practice period at the Wildcats Practice Fields on the B-CU campus. Monday marked the first practice since the second team scrimmage of the spring held Saturday morning.
Under the direction of head coach Brian Jenkins, recently completing his third season at the helm of the Wildcats program, Bethune-Cookman conducted 20 periods in Monday's practice that spanned less than two hours. Temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 70s with winds of the NNW at five miles per hour with the team donning full pads.
Practice began with the defensive and offensive lines working separately, as the defensive backs and receivers went through drills simulating game-like speeds and conditions. Coach Jenkins then spent time personally taking charge with the special teams unit.
The day ended with four sessions of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 action with the first and second teams going head-to-head on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
B-CU returns to the Wildcat Practice Fields on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.
Bethune-Cookman's 16 spring practices conclude with the annual Spring Showcase on Saturday, April 20. The game will be played at the New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex in New Smyrna Beach, Fla. The time is set for 2:30 p.m., and admission will be $1 with all proceeds benefitting the New Smyrna Beach Pop Warner League.
The first edition of the CatEye Network original series First Down aired Tuesday, April 2, going behind the scenes with the B-CU football team. The series will feature six episodes throughout the course of spring practice leading into and beyond the Spring Showcase on April 20.
