Ken Block revealed his newest weapon—a multi-purpose race car, built specifically to compete in stage rally, rallycross and gymkhana events—this past weekend at the Gymkhana World Tour in Los Angeles, California. The Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle (H.F.H.V.), or just 'Hybrid' as it has been dubbed, gets its name not from its method of propulsion, but instead from its ability to transform and race at the highest level for each of these motorsport disciplines, making it one of the most unique and versatile competition vehicles ever built.
Monster World Rally Team driver, Ken Block, rolled into Los Angeles this past weekend for the one and only USA stop of this year's Gymkhana World Tour. But Block didn't just bring out a brand new course layout with him; he also brought out his newest Ford Fiesta race car, the Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle (H.F.H.V. , also known by the nickname "the hybrid"). Designed as one car to do three tasks—gymkhana, stage rally and rally cross—the Los Angeles event marked the public debut of Block's new ride.

Spring is here, and I know it doesn't feel like the season has changed; but my Grandmother used to say "when you want to brighten up start face first". I am going to do that today with a list of my picks of the ten top eye shadow colors every lady should try for spring to brighten up.
1. Bobbi Brown's Ultra Violet- This purple is the color of the year; it's bright, it's bold you are letting everyone know that you are no wallflower with this color. Your eyelids become a canvas and will do all the talking needed.
2. MAC's Let Me Pop- Is a light frosted copper that can be worn on lids or just as a liner. It goes on creamy and then dries to a vibrant, intense color. This copper color is a nude without being boring about it.
3. Nars' China Seas- Is an iridescent turquoise with gold infusion partnered with an iridescent plum. This is a modern take on duo shadows; that has a sweet pastel color combined with a bold. The lady that wears this color is whimsical with a bold flirty streak.
4. Sephora's Tropical Blue- Is for the cool, confident lady who wants everyone to be aware of the island girl that is lurking inside. The combination of bright green and blue will remind you of the tropical Caribbean waters.
5. Urban Decay's ABC Gum- Is for the lady who wants to let her pink flag fly. Its suede-like velvety smoothness is cool enough, and has enough pigment to be worn all by itself to make a statement.
6. Cover Girl's Queen Collection Shimmering Sands- White is a beautiful fresh spring color that anyone can wear, a bright glow of white on the eyes and white one the eyes widen and definitely makes the eyes the center of attention.
7. Shiseido's Angel is a shimmering blue cream shadow- It's on my list for 2 reasons; #1- Blue is back with a vengeance it's not wrong anymore to wear blue shadow- show your inner flower child- #2 I love the name Shiseido.
8. Maybelline Color Tattoo Edgy Emerald- This aqua-teal color is AWESOME! It's a cream-gel shadow that gives you a shiny metallic that will take you easily from day to night.
9. L'Oreal Paris HIP matte shadow Striking- Is just that striking and not for the faint of heart. Yellow it up across the entire lid and line with the black or just use a triangle of it in the corner. No other words- STRIKING!
10. Face First Pro's Mirage- Don't worry you're imagining the lady who walks into the room wearing this mixture of desert and sea. This shadow is a baked duo that leaves a creamy finish. Of deep turquoise and a light pink combo. It's innovative, modern, flirty, bold….oh yea- it's from my very own makeup line- Face First Pro.
There you have it my princess and queens; you want it to be spring bring the weather to you by just adding some fun, flirty colors from some of the best companies and the world can be yours. One more piece of advice when you make those pretty eyes the center of attention; nude down the lips.

Heritage High Honor Society Students Perform Service Projects

Contributed Content
Just before the holiday break, members of the National Honor Society at Heritage High School participated in 50 different individual service projects exemplifying part of the school's LEGACY objectives of Generosity and Leadership.
With intent to inspire their peers, National Honor Society students promoted their extensive commitment to community service by creating poster projects representing their efforts. These were displayed across the campus to promote volunteer service work and to show various opportunities young people have to help make a difference in their communities.
Projects were diverse and called upon each National Honor Society member to use their talents and personal interests. Projects focused on such subjects as peer tutoring, hospital volunteering, assistance in animal shelters, veteran support, and cleaning up local parks. Each student selected an individual service project that appealed to their personal interests and put their unique talents to good use.
Teresa Austin, a Heritage High School junior and Japanese-born American, chose to teach local children her Japanese language and culture at the community library. She then extended this idea to an after-school seminar, where she shared her language and culture with her high school peers.
Teresa enjoyed teaching as much as her students enjoyed learning.
"It was so rewarding to share my heritage with young people interested in Japanese
culture," said Teresa. "It was a fun learning experience for everyone involved. I also hope to have spread some international understanding!"
She hopes by sharing her work with the elderly, some of her peers may be inspired to do the same.
"How satisfying it was to see the huge smiles on the faces of the senior citizens," said Kayla. "I have lots of friends with many talents and hope they will want to perform with me next time. The folks loved it!"
The National Honor Society encourages students to make a difference in the world through community service.
"Through these individual service projects, our members have made a positive impact on our community with hopes to have inspired fellow students to do the same," said Courtney Ziani, Heritage High School's National Honor Society advisor.
The National Honor Society was established in 1921 and is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. Chapter membership challenges students to develop further through active involvement in community service and h

Diane Samuels: what I learnt when I went back to school
In the wake of the JFS ruling, the playwright returned to her home city to celebrate an inclusive approach to education
It is early July 2009 and I am sitting in the staff room of King David Primary School on Beauclair Drive in Liverpool. The sound of children singing God Save the Queen rings from the assembly hall up the corridor. Then silence falls.
I look out to the playground which has not changed since I was a pupil here in the 1960s. I remember games of marbles, juggling balls and "Israeli skipping" with a large loop of elastic.
As an alumna who has made her way in the world as a writer, I have been invited to be guest of honour at the annual prize-giving. My thoughts turn to my speech, which acknowledges the education I received here and considers how learning is a life-long activity. I also reflect on my career as a writer and teacher and how this grew from my origins in Liverpool's familial community.
In the assembly hall, the rehearsal for the afternoon continues and the piano strikes up again. This time the children sing the Hatikvah. My generation also sang in this same order the songs of allegiance to Britain and Israel. I learned to write, read and speak both English and Hebrew in this school, studied the Jewish festivals, the stories and history behind them. Some things never seem to change. And yet one thing has changed — most of the children singing in that hall today are not Jewish.
In Britain there are 15 Jewish secondary schools (plus various Lubavitch schools). Of these, nine are Orthodox. When it comes to primary schools, there are 29 in total, of which 16 are Orthodox. The vast majority of the schools have entrance policies that require students to be Jewish according to Halachah, or at least practising. For many of them, the emphasis is on retaining an exclusively Jewish intake. Since its establishment in 1964, the King David Primary has prioritised Jewish students while opening its doors to all children.
In the 1960s there were a couple of non-Jews in my class, but probably about 90 per cent of the school was made up of Jewish children. Now 25 per cent are Jewish. This open approach may be born of necessity in a dwindling community, now only 2,000 strong (there were around 7000 Jews in Liverpool when I was a child), but, in contrast to many other Jewish schools in the country, it is inclusive. And in this resides a particular kind of vitality.
I am so delighted to be in the hallowed staff room that I text some old school friends to whom I am still close. David Dansky has a pivotal role in the country's biggest cyclist training organisation, Rachel Karp is a judge in London and Nicky Lachs a psychotherapist in Jerusalem. They all share a passion for their work and a commitment to contributing to the wider community. This is no coincidence. The King David encouraged these communal and human values that go way beyond the Jewish world.
The bell rings and the children, still wearing the same navy blue uniform as in my time, bound into the playground. Rachel's text in reply says this was "a nurturing place for us". And this continues. The respect and care taken by the current head teacher, Rachel Rick, is palpable. She is a practising Catholic who has just extended the teaching of modern Hebrew to non-Jewish students. In my day we Jewish kids were mightily envious of the extra games lessons the non-Jewish pupils had while we got to grips with our kufs, kafs and vowels. Mrs Rick introduces me to the boy, one of the older Jewish pupils, who is teaching her the language. Learning goes both ways, it seems.
Hebrew has general modern language status here now. Maybe Liverpool culture is to thank for this a bit. Who isn't from an immigrant background of some sort in this city?
Later in the afternoon, with all the school, parents, governors, and staff assembled in the hall before the stage, I think about the joys of having left this tight-knit world. Liverpool always feels like a warm nest when I return, but birds need to spread their wings and wider horizons beckon.
Still, new shoots sprout here, even if there are more Liverpool Jews now living the larger life in London. In her speech, Lauren Lesin-Davis, the chair of governors, announces that at five o'clock this afternoon, the final documents for a new development in the grounds of the neighbouring King David High School will be signed. The old buildings of both schools, and the nearby community centre, are to be demolished and replaced by a state-of-the-art complex to create one of the largest Jewish campuses in Europe, available to many communities.
As I board the train at Lime Street — after a brief visit to the newly opened Liverpool One development in the town centre where the Pillar of Friendship sculpture made by blacksmiths from all over the world combines work by Israeli and Palestinian craftsmen — I realise that I have witnessed an infusion of Jewish spirit into the mainstream that is the opposite of loss. It can so easily be left unappreciated, this impact that Jewish religion and culture continues to have in British society. I quietly applaud a school that approaches Jewish education not according to the identity of its students, but solely on the subjects, ethics and spirit that it offers to those students. This inclusive model means that much of real value survives in Liverpool of Jewish life.
Diane Samuels's plays include Kindertransport. She is writer in residence at Grafton Primary School in north London. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com

I've always been concerned and interested about teaching students to look after their privacy online.
Locking down your facebook page and your twitter account and being careful about what kinds of photos you post online is an important set of skills for students to have.
But this…. I'm not even sure what to say about this.
Raytheon has developed a product called RIOT which culls tremendous amounts of data from social networking sites and collects it into formats that can be used to track your behaviour and even predict the future of your movements.
This is scary stuff.
Watch for yourself.
(UPDATE: This video has been removed by the user from youtube. I've searched across the web far and wide but apparently someone (Raytheon's lawyers…?) keeps getting them taken offline every time a new copy appears. I'll keep looking and repost the video if one turns up online. If anyone finds a link to a copy of the video, I'd appreciate an email and a link so that I can repost this. I think it's important.
The Guardian newspaper who originally broke this story still has their copy up. You can find it here. It just cannot be embedded anywhere else.)

The Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium announced their upcoming schedule of readings for the Spring and Summer, 2014. Each month the Consortium hosts a poetry reading featuring two poets. The reading is held at the East Village Coffee Lounge, 498 Washington St., Monterey (at the corner of Washington and Pearl Streets). Open to the public, the admission fee at the door is $5.00. Each of the scheduled readings will be on the second Sunday of the month (with the exception of this month when the reading will be on Sunday, May 10).
On April 13, the Consortium hosted Barbara Bloom and Nicole Henares.
Barbara Bloom, poet and author of On the Water Meridian (ISBN 978-0-9792567-1-4) a, came to the Central Coast from where she was brought up in the wilds of British Columbia. Her lyrical poetry is influenced by her life of living and growing up in both California and B.C.. Educated at UCSC and SFSU, Bloom taught creative writing at Cabrillo College for over 20 years. To read some of Bloom's poetry or hear a recitation that was featured on the Writer's Almanac, visit the Skyhighway website and NPR's Writer's Almanac sites.
Nicole Henares, a poet who was born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula, describes herself as "a holy goof and lazy devotee of the Goddess of the Muse. Henares is an active member of the Monterey Poetry Review (former editor and currently the webmaster and consultant for the publication). Her poem, "The Dance of the Urban Honeybee" (a tribute to the late Ric Masten) was featured in a recent issue of the Monterey Poetry Review
Another example of Henares' prose work can be found in Underground Voices.
On Saturday, May 10 the Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium hosts two well-known, local poets, Kim Li Bui-Burton and Charles Atkinson.
Kim Ly Bui-Burton, poet, writer, and the Director of the Monterey Public Library, will be one of the featured poets. Bui-Burton's Vietnamese-American heritage has influenced her poetry, with its focus on multicultural themes. Her poetry also reflects her desire to fuse the natural world with the human perspective of the world in her lyrical work. Bui-Burton's poetry has appeared in numerous anthologies of poetry including: Tilting the Continent, The Body Ecletic. She also was awarded the American Book Award in 1995 for her book, I Am Becoming the Woman I Wanted. An example of this can be felt in an excerpt of her poem, A Poem for R, first published in Passionate Hearts:
"Your body is a new country,
hidden landscape in cotton and chambray
that I want to travel with every vehicle I own:
hands, tongue, slide of silk.
Below, in the heat and rush of wet,
we're learning again
how summer moves through the deep canyons,
stirring grasses and honeying fruit. "
Charles Atkinson, a well-known local poet and Creative Writing instructor at UCSC, will be the other featured poet. Atkinson has published four volumes of poetry including: The Only Cure I Know (San Diego Poets Press), The Best of Us on Fire (Wayland Press), Because We Are Men, and most recently, Fossil Honey (Hummingbird Press). He has been the recipient of numerous awards including: the Sow's Ear Poetry Prize, the Stanford Prize, the Comstock Review Prize, the Paumonak Poetry Award (SUNY), the Emily Dickinson Award, and the Ledge Poetry Prize. A beautiful example of what you might be hearing on May 10 is Atkinson's poem, "Fragmentary":
"iv. lost
It's familiar things lost:
distant hammers that quit at noon and again at four,
a neighbor's vacuum dying,
finch—cheer-cheer—silent in the heat.
Small comforts withdrawn.
Acacia, its winter gold shriveled to a seedpod,
a rattle; the constant wind that blows offshore,
then drops at dusk.
I miss old habits—walking with her, listening to her sadness.
We didn't speak the desperate truth,
didn't love ourselves enough to say,
I want, I need.
Guests at our lives,
we looked up astonished,
knowing we needed to begin again in earnest.
Even with others' hurt, dismay.
Even apart. "
Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium's Summer Schedule, 2014:
June 8 Sunday—Carolyn Brigit Flynn and Alyce di Palma
July 13 Sunday--Bill Minor and Robert Sward
August 10 Sunday—Lauren Crux and another poet, TBA

As California continues its third year of drought conditions, water is being pumped from a spring in Millard Canyon located in the San Gorgonio Pass. The Desert Sun reported on Monday, July 14, that Nestle has been drawing water from the spring for over a decade, but concern is on the rise as conditions worsen and the water is declining.
The bottling plant which produces Arrowhead spring water and Nestle Pure Life, owned by Nestle Waters North America Inc., is located on the Morongo Band of Mission Indians' reservation. The company leases the land from the tribe; which in turn gets a profit from the operation.
About 10 years ago the Cabazon Water District sold the water rights to the Morongo tribe. They bought it for $3 million dollars. Soon after this purchase the tribe announced its deal with Nestle owned Perrier Group to bottle Arrowhead water there. The tribe collects funds for every gallon of water that is drawn from the ground.
The Raw Story reported that because the Morongo tribe is a sovereign nation, they do not have to submit the same paperwork as others would and do not get monitored by water agencies. Nestle has not submitted paperwork on how much underground water has been taken since 2009.
The 2009 Nestle Waters report, which is based on 2008 data, stated they pumped 757 acre-feet from the wells. Reports from other years compiled by San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency stated that water being drawn from two wells in the canyon ranged from 1,366 acre-feet in 2002 to 595 acre-feet in 2005. Accounts from the agency estimated that the company extracts about 750 acre-feet a year. This is about 244 million gallons a year.
In 2013 the Morongo tribe submitted reports that stated 598 acre-feet of groundwater was pumped from the Millard Canyon, and that 3 acre-feet of water was diverted. This is about 200 million gallons a year; which, reports state would be enough water for 400 homes in the Coachella Valley.
The demand for bottled water continues to grow. Data released by Beverage Marketing Corporation shows that in 2003 the water market showed 6.2 billion gallons and $8.5 billion in revenue. In 2012 that number jumped to 10 billion gallons and $12.2 billion in revenues. Nestle is the largest bottled water company in the US.
Having bottling plants like this in the desert area could be biologically threatening. Researcher Peter Gleick, was allowed to visit Millard Canyon several years ago to observe the area. Taking water from the canyon means that less water will flow through streams that eventually go downhill and recharge aquifers.
"Surface water is so rare and the biological communities around these oases are so unique that these kinds of bottling plants in the desert should give us pause," said Gleick. "If they weren't pumping, the volume that they're taking out would be going into either recharging groundwater or providing some surface flows."
Gleick's book, 'Bottled and Sold', describes the bottling plant which is larger than seven football fields. The plant produces more than 1 billion bottles of water a year.
"The reason this particular plant is of special concern is precisely because water is so scarce in the basin," Gleick said. "If you had the same bottling plant in a water-rich area, then the amount of water bottled and diverted would be a small fraction of the total water available. But this is a desert ecosystem. Surface water in the desert is exceedingly rare and has a much higher environmental value than the same amount of water somewhere else."
The Morongo tribe has defended the bottling operation. In an email statement tribe spokesman Michael Fisher said, "The Morongo Band of Mission Indians is a sovereign nation with a long history of caring for the environment and of environmental stewardship as it relates to air quality, local habitats and tribal water resources," Fisher said. "Morongo's successful partnership with Nestle Waters North America provides over 250 local jobs through the operation of a sustainable water-bottling plant that provides water for human consumption only. As responsible stewards of the environment, Morongo works carefully with Nestle to monitor the plant operations and conduct recharge and other environmental programs to ensure that these water resources remain healthy and reliable for future generations."

Purdue Looks to Connect with More High-Tech Companies for Interns for Indiana Program
February 19, 2013
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University is recruiting high-tech startup and second-stage companies across the state to participate in the Interns for Indiana program.
The companies are matched with high-quality undergraduate student interns through the Purdue program, led by the Discovery Learning Research Center. Interns are placed with companies based on the potential for a quality experience for students, the opportunity for on-the-job growth and future employment, and the company's specific needs.
"Interest in the model program continues to surge, particularly from innovative startup companies all across Indiana and from entrepreneurially minded students looking to position themselves for quality jobs after graduation," said Suresh Garimella, Purdue associate vice president for engagement and the R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson Distinguished Professor.
Purdue's Interns for Indiana program is partially funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc. Participating companies are required to provide a $2,000 membership fee to help cover a portion of student and program costs, said Monica Shively, coordinator for the Interns for Indiana program.
Companies partnering with the Interns for Indiana summer program are matched with Purdue juniors and seniors who work a minimum of 400 hours during the summer session, and who receive a stipend of $4,500 for successful participation, she said.
"Recognizing the constrained financial resources of most startup and second-stage companies, especially during a tough economy, the program attempts to keep company costs for skilled interns as low as possible," Shively said.
Each July, the companies and students are recognized in a celebration luncheon and poster session at the Hall for Discovery and Learning Research in Purdue's Discovery Park. At the poster celebration, participants gain greater understanding of the program's scope and statewide impact.
"In every case, interactions with the interns through this Purdue program have moved projects forward or allowed us to begin to explore new projects while reducing costs," said David Gilmartin, chief financial officer and operations manager at Mor-NuCo LLC in West Lafayette.
March 6 is the deadline for the companies to apply for summer 2013 interns. For details, go to http://www.purdue.edu/dp/ifi
Companies participating in Purdue's Interns for Indiana Program must meet the following requirements:
* High-tech startup or second-stage status.
* For-profit status.
* Located in Indianapolis or near the Purdue campuses in West Lafayette, Calumet, North Central Indiana or Fort Wayne.
* Able to define and manage an appropriate and challenging internship experience.
* Provide entrepreneurial experience through regular in-person interactions.
* Contribute a $2,000 membership fee.
To participate in the program, students from the West Lafayette or regional campuses must be:
* Juniors and seniors enrolled in first BA or BS degree program.

Launched in 2004, Interns for Indiana is designed to enhance student learning by facilitating practical hands-on experiences for all majors. Primarily funded by the Lilly Endowment, the program has matched more than 550 Purdue students with internships at more than 185 Indiana startup and second-stage companies and provided more than 200,000 combined hours of labor.
A key reason for creating the program was the "brain drain" issue facing the state, in which Indiana's talented college graduates leave in search of high-paying, high-tech jobs in large metropolitan cities, particularly on the East and West coasts, Shively says.
In addition, the program boosts the quality of Indiana's workforce by providing experiences that encourage quality Purdue students to seek in-state employment after graduation, while driving economic development and job creation by supporting these high-tech companies.

Purdue Press publishes book by DLRC on transforming STEM learning for undergraduates
November 24, 2015
Higher education's ability to prepare students to compete in the 21st century workplace faces increasing scrutiny. Existing and ingrained structures of higher education, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, are not set up to provide the skill development in three key areas necessary for student success in the knowledge economy: communication, teamwork and divergent thinking, a new book published by Purdue University Press suggests. Addressing this issue by formulating solutions within diverse academic settings is the focus of "Transforming Institutions: Undergraduate STEM Education for the 21st Century." Edited by Gabriela C. Weaver, Wilella D. Burgess, Amy L. Childress and Linda Slakey, the book brings together chapters from the scholars and leaders who were part of the 2011 and 2014 conferences led by the Discovery Learning Research Center in Purdue's Discovery Park.Read Full Story

Delta Air Lines acquires 19,000 Nokia Lumia 820 devices for in-flight use
Delta Air Lines has partnered up with AT&T, Microsoft and Avanade in order to provide 19,000 Windows Phone powered Nokia Lumia 820 smartphones to flight attendants in order to process in-flight payments through the company's Fly Delta application for Windows Phone.
The move will undoubtedly give Nokia and Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system some great new opportunities, in addition to joining the infamous mile-high club. The Lumia 820 devices will be used for near real-time credit card processing, to email eReceipts for purchases, the use of pre-paid cards as well as the ability to read coupons displayed on passenger mobile devices. Apparently trials have shown a speed increase of 10% in comparison with previous systems. The agreement also allows for expanding over three years, seeing the addition of more Nokia made devices.
It seems Nokia is getting quite high, how long until they send ém to space? Voice your opinions below!

REDMAN Capitol news bureau
After one of its members emotionally recalled how he learned one
of his sons is gay, a Senate committee approved a bill Thursday to
stop discrimination against gay men and women in the workplace.
The Senate Labor and Industrial Relations panel voted 3-2 to let
the full Senate debate the idea of prohibiting employment
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Sen. Ken Hollis cast a key vote for the Senate bill shortly after
emotionally recounting to a crowded committee room the lessons he
learned from one of his sons.
Hollis, a Metairie Republican with aspirations to be governor,
said he wouldn't play politics with such a sensitive issue.
Hollis said he remembers when his son confided 10 or 12 years ago
that he is gay.
"I hugged him and I said, 'I love you.' Two other friends of his
came out very soon after that," Hollis said, his voice choked with
emotion. "One of them got beat up by his dad. The other one got
thrown out of the house."
Hollis said he remembers when his son called from a job on a
university campus a few years later.
"He said, 'I'm afraid they've found out and I'm going to be
fired,' " Hollis said. "He didn't ask for it. He didn't order it
from Wal-Mart. He was born that way."
Hollis said the issue needs broad public debate.
Sen. Don Cravins, D-Arnaudville, said his SB862 would prohibit
employment discrimination against people on the basis of their
"actual or perceived sexual orientation."
Cravins said he doesn't view his bill as politically charged. He
said it's a matter of fairness.
"Every one of God's children should have an opportunity to make a
living," Cravins said. "And, they ought to be able to do it with
relative calm in their lives."
Cravins said he recently was criticized by a minister, who said
Cravins' bill runs counter to Bible teachings against
"How can you carry a Bible around, swing it up in the air and
talk about Christianity and yet you will condemn God's children?"
Cravins said. "Something's wrong with that."
As it cleared the Senate panel, Cravins' bill would apply only to
businesses with more than 25 full-time employees. It would not apply
to religious organizations.
Cravins said the bill does not require employers to extend
benefits to employees' gay partners or require quotas or
preferential treatment.
The burden of proving discrimination would be on the
The Senate panel spent more than two hours on Cravins' bill,
listening to arguments from the gay community in support of the
measure and from opponents who argued against it largely on
religious grounds.
Martin Pfeiffer, an LSU student whose gay rights activism
included pushing for a gay club at McKinley Senior High while a
student there in 1999, said gay men and women are productive
But, Pfeiffer said, many will be tempted to leave Louisiana for
opportunities elsewhere if they don't believe the state protects
their rights.
Christopher Daigle, who works with gay students at Tulane
University and is governmental affairs director for the Louisiana
Electorate of Gays and Lesbians, said he gets up to 20 calls a year
from people around the state seeking advice after being fired or
forced out of a job because they are gay.
Daigle said he is forced to tell them that Louisiana has no laws
to prohibit such job discrimination.
Heath Martin, who will soon graduate from McNeese State
University, said he ran squarely into anti-gay discrimination on the
job several years ago.
Martin said he was working at a restaurant in Lake Charles and
progressed rapidly from bartender to supervisor. But, Martin said,
when word got out about his homosexuality, he started having
problems at work and ultimately was forced to quit.
"It's ridiculous that in 2001 we still allow this hatefulness to
exist," Martin said.
Most of the arguments against the bill focused on religious
opposition to gay behavior.
Pat Harris, a New Orleans resident who said she was representing
only herself, said she fears where Cravins' bill could lead.
Harris said she is concerned that such legislation could be a
step toward recognition of homosexuals as a minority group.
Harris said she could see it leading to Louisiana schools
teaching about the gay lifestyle to school children.
Reading from the Bible, Robert Breaud of Arabi said homosexual
behavior is "an enormous sin" that should not be rewarded.
Breaud said he repented his own "unholy, unhappy" gay lifestyle
at age 34 in 1994 and reconciled himself to what he called God's
Sens. Hollis; Lynn Dean, R-Braithwaite; and C.D. Jones, D-Monroe,
voted for Cravins' bill. Sens. Noble Ellington, D-Winnsboro, and
Mike Smith, D-Winnfield, voted against it.

Director Rati Oneli grew up in Russia at a time when Western movies were verboten and his family discouraged any thoughts of becoming an artist. So he became one anyway.
His short film "Theo" is an official selection at the Ace Film Festival in New York. "Theo's" festival debut will be at 8 p.m.. Sept. 5. WWTW talked with Oneli recently about his film roots … and his future.
WWTW: Tell me a little bit about your background. Was filmmaking always a goal? Any important lessons you learned along the way?
I was born in a small country called Georgia, which was part of the Soviet Union then. My parents were more intellectually than artistically inclined. My mom is a doctor and my dad has a PhD in chemistry so their vision of my future consisted of a clear and defined profession that could lead to a successful career. I had a different inclination – I wanted to write, but I was always discouraged from it. I know they wished me well, but it sort of distorted my understanding of my own inner world. Now I know you can't teach a left-handed person to write with a right hand, which actually was a policy in the Soviet Union – everyone had to be right handed and everyone had to be the same.
WWTW: Talk about your short film "Theo." What drove you to this project? Did it evolve during the shoot? What do you hope viewers will walk away with after seeing it.
I think the mood of "Theo" reflects the psychological and emotional state that I was in at the time. I had begun to work on another film prior to "Theo" and it gradually fell apart until I was left alone with my camera and the lead actor. A friend of mine suggested that we do a simple, quick film that could relieve me of the stress of the previous film so that I could return to it afterwards, refreshed. I didn't think at the time that this would turn into a one-year project, but I'm glad it did because I feel I went through a complete, self-administered film school altogether.
I am very fascinated by the uncertain times that we live in. As a filmmaker, I am not interested in empirical or political analysis of what's going on in the world, but rather existing human condition. We live in fascinating but also very confusing environment. In earlier times, despite obvious hardships and lack of modern luxuries, it was easier and more straightforward to live one's life. You were born and for the most part would have a set idea of what your life would be like. Life was more homogeneous in a way. Our age has become infinitely more complex and uncertain.
Personally, , I feel that now, my eyes are covered with a thin, transparent veil that shields a clearer view of the world and our age in particular. It's very easy to be sucked into mechanical, spiritualless life and never come out of there. Basically, one can get lost without even ever finding or defining yourself. I think this was my principle drive in making "Theo."
WWTW: What's next for you? A feature length "Theo?" Other projects?
I have a feature treatment that Tom Hedley helped me to write. It's very loosely based on the character of "Theo" and it will be a gritty, urban drama with a more conventional narrative. I also have a few other ideas in mind, but I feel I first need to make a feature "Theo" and I can move on after that.
WWTW: How is starting a film career today different than 20 years ago? Does technology make it easier for young filmmakers to get started? How?
The world is a lot more mobile and flexible now. Filmmaking has also become more affordable. I must have watched hundreds of pirated films that were the core and basis of my self-education.
Imagine sneaking into hundreds of movie theaters!? I'd never be able to have access to amazing films that don't usually play in theatres or are expensive rarities even on DVDs. It's truly great to live in this technologically advanced age.
I never went to film school and a lot of my research was done online. There are professional film forums where people can get advice from seasoned pros who are ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) members. It's unrealistic to think that I could do the same thing 20 years ago without any connections within the industry.
I also realize that the film market is over-saturated right now because anyone with a consumer digital video camera can shoot a movie and "pollute" the market but that's the trade-off and I can't complain, especially since a lot of really great movies have been shot on video cameras.

Meghan and Brian Wilson of Scotch Plains, New Jersey, got the best Christmas gift they could ask for this year -- the hope that their daughter Vivian will get to grow up. They just thought Vivian would grow up to be a Jersey girl, not a Rocky Mountain girl.
You may have been following the story of little Vivian Wilson. She suffers from Dravet Syndrome, the severe form of epilepsy America was introduced to by little Charlotte Figi in the CNN Sanjay Gupta documentary, Weed. Charlotte's epilepsy has been nearly cured by a marijuana oil extract from a plant that is extremely high in cannabidiol (CBD) and low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Vivian is a registered medical marijuana patient in her home state of New Jersey -- a process that was none too easy to complete, as New Jersey requires the recommendation from a doctor, a pediatrician, and a psychiatrist before a minor can use medical cannabis. Her parents jumped through all the hoops legally necessary to save their little girl.
But Governor Chris Christie has restricted the medical marijuana regulations to the extent that Meghan and Brian cannot get the high-CBD oil that would save Vivian's life. Even as the legislature is currently passing a bill that would allow patients to import cannabis products from other medical marijuana states, the governor has vowed to veto it, claiming that allowing epileptic toddlers to use a non-psychoactive non-smoked marijuana extract with less THC in it than a hemp rope is a slippery slope that leads to teenage drug addiction.
Meghan and Brian's last hope for their daughter's life, which is threatened daily by every seizure, seemed to be to escape New Jersey and its evil governor. But moving thousands of miles out west where the CBD-oil flows costs a lot of money and leaving behind extended friends and family would be difficult.
On Christmas Day, the Wilsons got word from a friend that three benefactors had contributed $10,000 to the family to help pay their moving expenses to relocate to Colorado. Garyn Angel, the owner of Magical Butter, a company that makes closed-system appliances for manufacturing marijuana butters and oils, and his friends Drew and Lisa Braun from Florida gifted the money to Meghan and Brian.
Parents shouldn't have to leave their whole lives behind and flee 2,000 miles just to get life-saving medicine for their children. It is especially ludicrous that Republican Gov. Chris Christie is afraid of high-CBD oil in his medical marijuana state when Republican legislators in Utah, of all places, are debating legal importation of this same oil as a non-psychoactive hemp product.

Garrett Rank dominated Friday's second round of the Players Amateur Presented by Nautica and set the competitive South course record with a 62 at the Berkeley Hall Club in Bluffton, S.C. The Canadian broke the previous record at the Hilton Head-area course by one stroke and takes a five-shot lead into the weekend.
After his round Rank tweeted, "Personal best today with 10 birdies and 8 pars. Not bad for a Canadian!"
Rank is a 26-year old University of Waterloo graduate who lives in Elmira, Ontario, and makes a living as a referee for the American Hockey League. He had six birdies on the front nine and followed them up with four on the back.
"I am just going to continue to stay really patient out there," he said after his round, "hit really good shots and see what happens." His two day total was an 11- under 133.
Defending champion and Vanderbilt golfer Hunter Stewart and University of South Carolina golfer Matt NeSmith are five shots behind Rand and tied for second. University of Georgia's Nick Reach finished up at 5-under for the fourth place spot.
The popular tournament has one of the biggest perks in golf with the amateur winner getting an exemption into the PGA TOUR RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island's Harbour Town Links. Both tournaments are run by the Hilton Head Heritage Classic Foundation.
The tournament draws top players from colleges around the country along with international players. Past winners include PGA TOUR standouts Bill Haas, Rickie Fowler, Ben Curtis, Bud Cauley, Brian Harman and Camilo Villegas. Australian Daniel Nisbet was the 2012 winner.
The 2013 tournament was plagued by bad weather and shortened to 54 holes but Friday's round was only interrupted once when play was suspended at 1:40 pm due to storms in the area. Players were back on the course at 2:06 pm.
Berkeley Hall is located off Highway 278 in Bluffton and spectators are welcome to watch the future stars at no charge.

Colorful fun coaters

Comments about Luck and Prosperity Embroidered Silk Coasters - Set of 6:
These coasters are well made and would make a good gift. They are colorful and attractive. But they are so nice that I'm afraid to use them as coasters underneath coffee mugs, so I think I'll use them under plants or elsewhere to protect wood furniture from scratching. The backside of these coasters are covered in a heavy material, not cork or synthetic. The box they come in is a bit drab on exterior, although the red interior is nice.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pleased with coasters themselves
By Dictionary
from Phoenix, AZ
Coasters themselves are very pretty; however, they came in zippered, round, soft-sided pouch, not the cloth-covered, hard-sided box in photo. I would display the box depicted, as it is subdued and formal. The case received looks tacky in comparison. Not sure now if I'm going to use these as a gift.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for letting us know that your order was not complete. We sincerely regret the inconvenience. These coasters come in a black silk gift box, which you should have received. Our customer service department is following up.

Smart Looking
By TC
from Palm Harbor, FL
I had acquired a smart-looking set of black, rubber-based coasters in an attractive, brushed-nickel holder, but, became disenchanted with the fact that the coasters collected the moisture but did not rapidly evaporate the condensation. The moisture tended to slowly dry, and, left mineral stains. I spotted these on sale at the NG website at a marvelous price, and, sent for them. They come in a very attractive, peg-latched fabric box, and, are quite lovely to look at. In fact, I use the olive-toned pair as I can't bring myself to use the other, colorful pairs for fear of staining them. But, they really do absorb the condensation well, and, look like they are hand-made - translation - they look like they cost more than the beverage glasses that I use.

Background: Evidence on the effectiveness of educational interventions on prescribing behaviour modification in prevention of cardiovascular disease is still insufficient. We evaluated the effects of a brief educational intervention on prescription of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), inhibitors of platelet aggregation (IPA), and antihypertensive agents (AH). Design: Cluster randomised controlled trial with continuous medical education (CME) groups of general practitioners (GPs). Methods: Prescription of statins, IPA, and AH were verified prior to study start (BL), immediately after index consultation (IC), and at follow-up after 6 months (FU). Prescription in patients at high risk (>15% risk of a cardiovascular event in 10 years, based on the Framingham equation) and no prescription in low-risk patients (≤ 15%) were considered appropriate. Results: An intervention effect on prescribing could only be found for IPA. Generally, changes in prescription over time were all directed towards higher prescription rates and persisted to FU, independent of risk status and group allocation. Conclusions: The active implementation of a brief evidence-based educational intervention on global risk in CVD did not lead directly to risk-adjusted changes in prescription. Investigations on an extended time scale would capture whether decision support of this kind would improve prescribing risk-adjusted sustainably.

College Hockey:Women's Coach Rivard Out At North Dakota
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — North Dakota women's hockey coach Shantel Rivard has been removed from that position and her contract will not be renewed when it expires on June 30. North Dakota athletic director Tom Buning made the announcement today.
Buning said that Rivard will be reassigned to other duties within the North Dakota athletic department and North Dakota women's assistant coach Dennis Miller will take over as head coach of the women's team on an interim basis for the remainder of the season. Buning said a national search for a permanent replacement will be conducted.
"Shantel's professionalism and tireless efforts have helped to build this program's foundation," Buning said. "It's at this point, however, that I feel only a coaching change will allow us to move the program to the next level."
North Dakota, currently 3-13-2 overall and 0-11-1 in the WCHA, has 16 regular season games remaining. Next on the schedule is a home series with Bemidji State on Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 15-16).
Rivard, in her fifth season at North Dakota, had a North Dakota career record of 45-91-11 overall (.344). Her WCHA record was 9-55-4 (.162) in the three seasons that North Dakota has been a member of the WCHA.
Rivard was hired as North Dakota's first varsity women's ice hockey coach on Jan. 17, 2002. Under Rivard, North Dakota's women's team took the ice for the first time in the 2002-03 season, compiling a 10-14-2 overall record while competing as an NCAA Division I independent.
In its first-ever game, the North Dakota women's hockey team tied Bemidji State, 3-3, in overtime on Oct. 20, 2002, in Bemidji, Minn. The Sioux women made their home debut at Ralph Engelstad Arena on Oct. 27, 2002, in front of 3,200 fans, falling to Boston College, 5-2. North Dakota picked up its first-ever victory the next day (Oct. 28, 2002), however, beating Boston College, 5-3.
In North Dakota's second season (2003-04), Rivard coached the Sioux to their first winning season, as North Dakota finished 16-14-2 overall. That season the Sioux picked up their first win against an opponent ranked in the national top 10, beating eighth-ranked New Hampshire 3-2 on Nov. 2, 2003.
North Dakota became a full-time member of the WCHA women's league in the 2004-05 season and posted an inaguural league mark of 6-21-1 while going 9-23-3 overall.
In 2005-06, North Dakota was 7-27-2 overall and 3-23-2 in the WCHA. Included was a 2-0 league win over fourth-ranked Minnesota Duluth on Feb. 11, 2006, in Duluth, Minn.
Prior to coming to North Dakota, Rivard spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Maine. A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, she played hockey for four years at RIT. Rivard graduated from RIT in 1995 with bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering.

At 6 feet tall (including antenna) and built with approximately 20,000 pieces – it may surprise you that this build only took about Adrian a month to build. I think this was the single most photographed build at Brickworld, and earned Adrian the Judge's Choice Award and nomination for Best Mega Creation.
Of course no life sized bender would be complete without a functional chest cavity (featuring one of Brickworld's finest traditional drinks).
As a huge Futurama fan, I couldn't help but get caught up in life-sized-Bender Fever, and decided to build Nixon's head (minus jar) to put on Bender's body (ARROOOOO!).
Oh and Adrian totally trusted me enough to let me put on Bender's Head.
A special thanks to Adam Myers for letting me build Nixon from his collection in Chicago, and for loaning out Nixon head to Adrian to display at BrickFair VA.
"Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves!"
Good News Everyone!
Fullerton's Okay Yaramanoglu (Oky – Space Ranger) has recreated Futurama's Planet Express headquarters in micro-scale. Built for Eurobricks Micro Sci-Fi Contest, the model includes the "U.S.S. Planet Express Ship", a Slurm delivery truck, Calculon and everyone's favorite alcoholic robot, Bender.

A new all business-class airline is offering a New York-Paris roundtrip flight for two for $2,014. The bargain fare can only be booked through August 30 for travel ending by September 15.
After the introduction, fares will start at about $1,800 per person. That price is designed to meet the airline's goal of "personalized service at respectable fares." The fare is slightly higher than premium economy service on rival airlines, but less than many business class fares.
The airline, La Compagnie, has just one aircraft, flying roundtrip between Newark and Paris Charles De Gaulle airports. The renovated Boeing 757 features a single class service with 74 business class seats in a two-by-two configuration. Bonuses touted by La Compagnie include gourmet French food and wine and individual tablet entertainment devices.
Roomy seats recline to 180-degrees on the 757, but are not the true "flat-bed" seats offered by some transatlantic airlines. There are other differences between La Compagnie's services and business class on some competing airlines. After the introductory fare period, pre-boarding use of airport lounges is offered only to fliers buying non-discounted tickets. Arrivals lounges are not offered in Newark or Paris.
The airline plans to add another plane in December. La Compagnie contracts aircraft maintenance with a subsidiary of Icelandair.
French aviation entrepreneur Yvelin Frantz founded La Compagnie. His previous all-business class air venture, L'Avion, was acquired by British Airways and now operates as part of BA's Open Skies subsidiary.

In 1993, while on the lookout for a suitable bag in which they could transport their drawings on their bicycles, two graphic design students, Markus and Daniel Freitag, took their cue from urban bike couriers. Functional, water-repellent and strong – those were the criteria necessary for their ideal bag. The colorful transport trucks passing by their apartment every day along Zurich's transit route provided the inspiration for the perfect material – their bags would need to be just as resilient against wind and rain.
Starting with this idea, they developed a messenger bag using old truck tarpaulins, used bicycle tires and seatbelts in the living room of their shared apartment. The old tarps were washed in the bathtub, then cut between the sofa and the television and sewn into the first FREITAG messenger bags on Mom's sewing machine. Even today, every bag is handmade and unique. Unbeknownst to them, the brothers' creation released a wave of innovation in the world of bags, and the Individual Recycled Freewaybags from Zurich have been conquering the world ever since.
The truth doesn't have to hurt
Today, of course, the Fundamentals line comprises more than just messenger bags. The assortment has now expanded to over 40 models that can comfortably carry smartphones, laptops, sweaty t-shirts, secret love letters, and much more.

Christopher Columbus may have made an error when he landed on North America and declared that it was India, but he made no such mistake in describing Puerto Plata as "the fairest land under heaven."
Known as "La Novia del Atlántico," or "The Bride of the Atlantic," Puerto Plata sings a siren's song to visitors and locals alike, dancing them through lush tropical terrain and pristine beaches that invite anyone who lays eyes on them to relax for a lifetime and never go back.
While Puerto Plata is the ultimate destination for relaxation, and also most likely where you will fly into the Dominican, the keen traveler will most likely look to the developing town of Samaná.
One of the beautiful and off-the-beaten-path destinations in the Dominican Republic is the Samaná Peninsula. If you are lucky enough to visit in between mid-January and mid-March, you will be treated to the spectacle of thousands of hump-back whales that migrate here every year. READ MORE

Despite a few setbacks, the overall real estate market has improved greatly since the recession of 2008. Thanks to the new normalcy, it's a lot easier to buy and sell houses. Technology has made scouting out potential deals and finding buyers particularly seamless as of late. Here are a few apps you can use to make the process a bit more hassle-free.
One of the most obvious apps worth downloading to your mobile phone is Zillow, which beats out Trulia simply because it's available on iOS and Android. In truth, both platforms allow buyers and sellers to quickly peruse local offerings, determine prices and assess value in any zip code. It's arguably the best all-around real estate app you can get.
Whether you're looking for flip-worthy properties or a home for yourself, ZipRealty is one of the best ways to filter any area's possibilities. Simply draw a circle centered around your present location or any set of co-ordinates and ZipRealty will show you what's available nearby. Its highly specific filters will help you sort through the cruft and find real estate gold.
Smarter Agent
If you're looking for the ultimate MLS listings search engine, Smarter Agent is your new go-to app. While it won't replace a bona fide broker like Prospect Mortgage for most home buyers, it's a good first step if you're looking for a new home. It's also a versatile tool for real estate agents looking to boost their brand.
Sometimes, a house that you just happen to pass by will catch your eye and really strike your fancy for whatever reason. Homesnap is an augmented reality app that allows users to snap a quick digital photo of any house and view its pertinent details immediately. Window shoppers in particular will love Homesnap's responsive functionality, accuracy and overall thoroughness.
Credit Karma
It's no secret that financing requirements for home sales have been tightened in the past few years. Credit Karma can quickly tell potential buyers whether or not a particular home is within their price range. It can even save real estate agents time by telling them which houses are worth showing to prospective buyers in any given neighborhood.
Mortgage Calculator (Quicken Loans)
Simply knowing whether or not they qualify for a mortgage often isn't enough for savvy shoppers to make a final decision. Oftentimes, buyers will need to dig deeper to determine whether or not a particular house is a bargain over the long haul. The Mortgage Calculator app by Quicken Loans calculates taxes, interest and a variety of other expenses on the fly.
Last but not least, we come to Realtor. Though it's fairly general in terms of focus, Realtor is nevertheless a useful app to have on hand when buying or selling real estate. It can be used to monitor price changes for particular properties, refine searches and quantify the desirability of neighborhoods. Best of all, it's 100% free to use.
Making the Most of Digital Realty
Clearly, mobile software can be quite helpful for those in the real estate game. No matter how advanced that technology gets, realty transactions will always include a human element that can't be replaced. At the very least, these apps should make the boring number-crunching aspects of buying and selling homes less tedious. Read the Prospect Mortgage disclosure.

Sony has worked diligently to align its next three years, from a development standpoint, and at Gamescom 2014, we received an interesting glance into the PS4's future. The company has talked a lot about wanting to create games for the PS4 that are more diverse and connect with a broader audience, while still creating experiences for the core gamer.
From everything we saw at E3 2014 and everything showed off at Gamescom 2014, it's clear the PS4 has a very bright future and will be receiving plenty of fresh, new games to people's living rooms soon. PlayStation Europe head Jim Ryan spoke about why they featured E3 games prior to the Gamescom conference, and then got into what he described as a 'tipping point' for development over the next few years.
"I can't make any predictions like that, it would be foolish. But we did think very deeply about the show, last night. And one of the things that I was very pleased that we did was to take the video updates of the stuff that was shown at E3 [Bloodborne, LittleBigPlanet 3, etc. - GC] and show them – we were very pleased with those updates, we liked them and we thought it was important to show them – but not as part of the show.
"I think what underlies this is we're now about a year in and the sorts of games that you saw last night are with an eye to the platform going a bit broader, in… medium term might be the wrong expression but you're talking about the back end of year two and year three so you're at almost a sort of tipping point in terms of the development process; where there's a bunch of hardcore stuff, obviously – most of which will release quite soon – but then you're starting to see the Tearaways, LittleBigPlanet is this year, but you know what I mean.
"You're starting to see last night that variety was a consequence of platform strategy rather than a spreadsheet with people ticking boxes," Ryan said.
Many folks have speculated that Sony is slowly making the shift toward bringing its absolute best to Gamescom, instead of E3. It's interesting to compare and look at what Sony showed off in Cologne with what E3 2014 brought us. That said, it's a bit of a relative comparison to try and make between the two events. E3 has such a rich history in the fabric of gaming, so it would be hard to believe that an essential company like Sony would abandon the event so soon. Stranger things have happened in gaming.
In fairness to Gamescom though, it has gained tremendous momentum when you look at the coverage of the show, as well as attendance. Its popularity is undeniable and certainly has a strong future moving forward.
The PS4 has some very, very strong titles upcoming and a lot of intriguing games as well. New IP like WiLD, The Tomorrow Children and Until Dawn are games many people enjoyed seeing at Gamescom. Some may be further away from launching than others, but fans can be certain that the software support for the PS4 is unshakeable.
Sony's next major IP to debut will be DRIVECLUB when it launches on Oct. 7 exclusively for the PS4. It's also going to be one of PS Plus's games in October.
Thanks, Metro!

DIY: Build a Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier
Here's a Cargo Carrier that we built for one of our Jeeps. It's specifically built to be used with an older Wrangler which means we had to consider tail-light and gas filler locations into it's design.
These carriers are very convenient for increasing your payload without using a conventional trailer. It's a great way to carry extra bugout gear even if your BOV has a roof rack.
We used this carrier to haul most of our camping gear while on an Appalachian excursion a few years ago. We had 3 people in our group and the extra storage space was a necessity.
There are several manufacturers that are producing these but you can save a considerable amount of money by building them yourself. We have converted our shop drawings to JPEGs and included them in this post. If you're not having any luck printing them out, contact me and I'll email them to you.
You will need the following tools:
- Saw (hacksaw, sawzall or band saw)
- Combination square
- Marker or scribe
- Pipe Clamp (pony clamp)
- Tape Measure
- Welder (arc, MIG or TIG)
- Small Grinder or disc sander.
and the following materials:
- 32′ of 1″ square steel tubing, 16 ga. minimum.
- 12″ of thick-walled steel tubing or square bar stock to fit your hitch receiver, drilled for a hitch retainer pin.
- Primer and paint.
- 7 tubing end plugs, plastic, to fit 1″ tubing. (optional)
- 21″ x 36″ Expanded Metal, 14 ga. flattened (optional).
The following drawings are for this exact cargo basket. The dimensions are specific for an older model Wrangler. You should compare them to your specific vehicle and modify them accordingly. Double check the rear bumper depth and vehicle width before cutting any material. Also, keep your vehicle's ground clearance in mind while modifying these dimensions. Keep the basket above the bumper for best results.
Make sure the receiver portion of the basket is adequate for carrying the weight of the basket and it's contents.
The materials list shown above includes a small piece of expanded metal. This is meant to lay across the bottom of the basket and is optional. We didn't need to use the expanded metal, the cross-bars shown in the drawing provided plenty of support and contained everything that we needed them to contain.
Hopefully you have access to welding equipment. If necessary you could take these drawings to someone that does have welding capabilities. If nothing else, you can use the drawings to give your welder an idea of what you are wanting them to build.
Be sure to know the maximum tongue weight capacity of your vehicle's hitch and be careful not to load the basket beyond your hitch's maximum tongue weight.

Former Mayor Richard Daley's nephew, Richard Vanecko, 39, pleaded guilty on Jan. 31 to involuntary manslaughter in the death of David Koschman. Koschman died on May 6, 2004, of brain injuries that resulted from being punched in the head during a drunken confrontation on Division Street in the early-morning hours of April 25, 2004. The Chicago Sun-Times has an entire sub-website dedicated to the details of the case.
For seven years the case was dead, the Chicago Police called it self defense and Koschman supporters claimed there was a politically motivated cover up. It was only due to the series of articles by the Sun-Times that finally led to Dan Webb being appointed as a special prosecutor to investigate the case and the handling of the case by police.
Webb billed taxpayers $1.12 million for the investigation. His report, which was sealed by Cook County Judge Michael Toomin since it was submitted, will be released on Tuesday. Toomin said that releasing the report earlier may have prevented Venecko from getting a fair trial.
Venecko accepted a plea agreement, avoiding a trail, in which he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He will serve 60 days in jail, another 60 days under electronic home monitoring and 30 months of probation. Not a bad deal for killing a guy, even unintentionally. He also agreed to pay Koschman's mother $20,000 restitution.
Venecko should also be on the hook for the $1.12 million it cost the taxpayers to investigate the case. Due to the very light sentence, Venecko easily gets away with killing someone, at least the cost to taxpayers could be lessened.

The Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help to identify three suspects, two men and a woman, who have allegedly accessed residents' checking accounts with computer-generated checks. The checks have been used since late November at the Woodland and Longview Walmart stores, both Longview Safeway stores, the Longview RadioShack and the Kelso Sears. The checks have also been passed in Vancouver and Portland.
The suspects' photos were captured in surveillance footage.
o A male suspect appears to be in his mid-20s, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build and blond or light brown hair. The surveillance shows him wearing a black hat that says "Dallas," and has a gold sticker on the bill. He's wearing a dark, oversized sweatshirt with a Nike logo; on another occasion he's seen wearing a white Hart & Huntington hooded sweatshirt. He's also wearing teal or green shoes.
o The female suspect appears to be in her mid-20s and about 5 feet 4 inches tall with a medium build and shoulder-length brown hair. She's pictured wearing a black sweatshirt with a heart-shaped logo on the front and "Live Pink" written on the left sleeve.
o A second male suspect appears to be in his mid- to late-20s, 6 feet tall or taller with brown hair and some facial stubble.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Rob Stumph at 360-577-3092. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 360-577-1206.
