Phil Estes, PE, was shocked when USA Today covered his attempts to designate 11 railroad crossings as "quiet zones" under a 2005 Federal Railway Administration (FRA) ruling designed to help communities cope with the ear-splitting, 20-second blasts that train engineers must administer before entering an intersection.
Tucked around the conjunction of three transcontinental rail lines, downtown Olathe, Kan., has a crossing every 600 feet. Every day, 88 trains interrupted business for five hours, prompting major employers — including the local courthouse — to consider relocating.
Assuming that BNSF Railway Co. considered the noise a quality-of-life issue, as he did, Estes quickly learned otherwise.
"Suddenly, we found ourselves in the safety business with the railroad, whether we liked it or not," says the city's senior project manager. In the two years he spent negotiating Olathe's agreement with BNSF, Estes also learned:
The FRA is a U.S. DOT agency, so the first step is to notify your state DOT, which will put you in touch with the railroad's public projects representative. These entities help assess a community's crossings and options, beginning the journey toward making it a quieter environment in which to live and work.
Pierce County, Wash., overcomes political resistance to implement a successful program.
It's not news that public works directors often are charged with convincing both their governing bodies and the public of the need to fund infrastructure improvements. But when they get the message across, it's a lesson from which other public works directors can learn.
In Pierce County, Wash. — located south of Seattle — transportation managers identified the challenges associated with the development of traffic impact fee (TIF) programs and successfully articulated them to the county council.
One-time charges for the capital cost of public facilities needed to serve new development, such as roads and intersections, traffic impact fees aren't popular with either governing bodies or developers. Still, the fast-growing urbanized county, whose population is about 800,000, is home to about 1,500 miles of county roads — many of which will be affected by development.
In 2003 the county's public works department floated the idea of a TIF program to the county council, which tabled consideration of the program for many reasons, mainly political: Some council members considered it just another tax; others said it would have a negative affect on economic development and affordable housing.

By Peter Lewis, Seattle Times staff reporter
VANCOUVER, B.C. — Marc Emery differs in so many ways from most people accused of big-time drug dealing, it's hard to know where to start.
Even though he faces the possibility of decades in a U.S. prison for selling marijuana seeds to Americans, Emery regularly welcomes a steady stream of journalists. That's an approach most people accused of drug dealing avoid instinctively, or on advice of their attorneys.
Not Emery, founder of the B.C. Marijuana Party, who maintains that his legal troubles spring from the U.S. government's desire to muzzle him and the movement he claims to lead.
He relishes his reputation as the so-called "Prince of Pot" and "Mayor of Vansterdam," the latter a reference to Vancouver and Amsterdam, the Dutch city where marijuana can be purchased from "coffee shops." He proudly proclaims his long-term vision to "overgrow the government" by spreading marijuana faster than drug agents could eradicate it.
Unlike others accused of drug dealing, Emery has for years made no effort to hide the fact he earns his living from marijuana, making millions selling marijuana seeds and paraphernalia through his Vancouver store and the Internet. It's that marijuana-centered business that has landed Emery in hot water in the U.S., where a Seattle-based grand jury has indicted him and two of his employees on drug and money-laundering charges.
Emery, who is free on bond, freely expounds on the virtues of marijuana for both recreational and medicinal purposes. He claims to have poured nearly $4 million (Canadian) into political and legal causes to decriminalize marijuana and/or to make it available for medical use, including ballot initiatives in Nevada, Alaska and Arizona.
Emery contends a news release issued July 29, the day of his arrest, reveals the U.S. government's intention to mute his efforts to advance the spread of marijuana. In the release, Karen Tandy, head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, wrote: "Today's DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture Magazine, and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement. ... Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada."
Tandy's office has declined to comment about the statement, but locally, federal prosecutors have distanced themselves from her remarks.
Todd Greenberg, the lead assistant U.S. attorney on the case, said he could understand how her comments could be interpreted as having a political dimension but added, "No one locally has made such a statement. No prosecutor, no agent, no one in Seattle."
"As the chief [federal] law-enforcement official here, I'm not interested in his political speech in the slightest," added Seattle U.S. Attorney John McKay. "He's a legitimate target."
Prosecutors contend that Emery was targeted because he was Canada's largest supplier of seeds and marijuana-growing equipment, and because the majority of his customers were U.S. citizens. Prosecutors allege that Emery also has provided customers with detailed instructions on how to grow marijuana, and also sold specialized lights, fans and fertilizer.
"He was a one-stop shopping facilitator for marijuana growers," Greenberg said.
Emery does not quarrel with the substance of the charges, though he has much to say about the U.S. government's "war on drugs," which he described as "immoral and lethal." In fact, he is unabashedly proud of his efforts.
"If I'm going to be sentenced to life in prison in a U.S. jail, it'll be for what I've done, and I'm proud of what I've done," said Emery. "And there's no going back on that. I helped facilitate hopefully millions of Americans to grow marijuana."
At the request of the U.S. government, Canadian prosecutors are working to force Emery and co-defendants Michelle Rainey-Fenkarek and Gregory Williams to appear in Seattle federal court to answer drug-conspiracy and money-laundering charges stemming from Emery's seed and marijuana-growing business.
They are fighting extradition, a process that legal experts say could take up to two years. Theirs will be an uphill fight, acknowledges John Conroy, a Canadian lawyer assisting the defendants.
Conroy notes that the U.S.-Canadian treaty under which Emery and the others were arrested creates an exception for extradition in the case of offenses of a "political character." The problem, Conroy adds, is that the treaty goes on to deem certain crimes, including drug offenses, as ineligible for the political-character exception.
Another argument likely to be advanced is "cruel and unusual punishment," Conroy said, referring to the much harsher sentence the defendants would face in the U.S. — up to life in prison.
"I face a penalty longer than what you'd get for multiple murder in Canada," Emery said.
Technically, Emery could face up to life in prison under Canadian law. But Conroy, a noted criminal-defense attorney, said there are no mandatory minimum sentences in Canada and that "life in prison" means the defendant is generally eligible for parole after seven years, except in murder cases.
British Columbia courts levied fines but didn't imposed jail time on the three occasions Emery was convicted of selling marijuana seeds. The punishment is consistent with a judicial attitude reflected in a 2003 drug-case ruling by Court of Appeals Justice Mary Southin, who described marijuana as "no better or worse, morally or physically, than people who like a martini."
Emery said he is happy to become a martyr for the movement. He thanks the DEA for the heightened exposure, because he says he's suddenly become relevant to people who don't smoke marijuana.
"Now I'm meeting a lot of people, including very old people, who are alarmed about the sovereignty of this country," Emery said. "But also Americans who are just shocked by the potential prison sentence I might get."
The meaning of life
Emery's appearance and eloquence might surprise those who automatically associate pot with the spaced-out persona made famous by the Cheech and Chong comedy team. Now 47, he says he has smoked marijuana almost daily for 25 years.
Clean-shaven and nerdy-looking with a high forehead, Emery could pass for a stockbroker or an accountant. In fact, he was a bookseller for many years before he dedicated his life to growing marijuana.
He credits marijuana with making him a better parent, a better lover and even a better driver, partly because it made him understand that life was "all about discovery, not actualization."
He published his political manifesto a decade ago in the first edition of his magazine, Cannabis Culture:
"We are a wrongly outlawed culture, viciously discriminated against for 72 years, and we are finally effectively organizing to reclaim our rightful place in society as individuals among equals. We have a right to our culture and we must act and inform to ensure that we receive proper justice."
Of the political course he set for himself, Emery said in a recent interview, "I wanted to rapidly change the way the world looks at marijuana." Hence his decision to popularize the use of seeds along with instructions on how to grow them.
"I sold millions of seeds over 11 years, all over the world," Emery said, offering more than 500 varieties.
His highest grossing year for seed sales was 2002, when he took in $2.2 million (Canadian), he said. He also said he has provided free seeds to people certified as medical-marijuana patients.
Since 1999, Emery says he has paid $578,000 (Canadian) in income tax, identifying seed-sales as the source of his income to the Canadian Revenue Agency, the equivalent of the IRS.
Legalization and leniency
Emery said he continues to smoke marijuana despite his arrest and subsequent release on $50,000 bond. But less often these days, he said, because he can no longer afford it.
Emery also is something of a provocateur. Three years ago, for example, Emery and other marijuana activists bought a table at a luncheon in Vancouver where Bush administration drug czar John Walters was making a presentation.
Every time Walters made a comment about marijuana that Emery and his friends believed was untrue, they'd heckle him. "We yelled 'liar,' " Emery recalled, "so he [Walters] just had a total slow burn. ... I'm sure I've never been forgiven for that."
Then there was the "summer of legalization tour" in 2003. Emery recounted that he "smoked a bong or a big joint in front of police stations in 18 cities across Canada."
He has been arrested many times, but more often than not the charges were dropped, Emery said. The point, he added, was to demonstrate his belief that marijuana is effectively legal in Canada.
In fact, possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana (including marijuana seeds), carries punishment of up to 12 months in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Emery felt the sting of Canadian enforcement in the summer of 2004, when he served 62 days in Saskatoon Correctional Centre for possession and trafficking after admitting he'd passed a joint in a public park. But Emery chalked that experience up to landing in front of an unforgiving judge in a conservative province.
You'd never know marijuana is illegal walking around parts of Vancouver.
Next door to Emery's B.C. Marijuana Party headquarters on West Hastings Street, toward the back of the New Amsterdam Cafe, is a designated "smoke room" where patrons smoke marijuana and tobacco weekdays until 4:30 p.m.
Smoking is confined to the room during normal work hours to be "respectful" of neighboring businesses, an employee said. But after 4:30 p.m. weekdays, and on the weekends, the ashtrays move into the main dining room.
A question of tactics
Before the DEA raided Emery's business in July, it had been seven years since Vancouver Police had charged him for seed sales. A police spokeswoman said he was charged in September 1998 with two counts of "possession with the purpose of trafficking viable marijuana seeds," for which he was fined $4,000, and served no jail time.
Some find Emery's style unnecessarily confrontational. Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell, for example, says he has nothing against Emery but questions his tactics.
Campbell said he supports legalizing marijuana and controlling it in much the same fashion as tobacco and cigarettes, including taxing it to the hilt. The taxes should be dedicated, he added, to pay for health care for addiction services.
Still, he adds, "Marc thinks he's more than he really is. ... Marc thinks he's the Mahatma Gandhi of the movement. ...
"You keep poking a stick in the eye of the DEA, something's going to happen, and effectively, that's what he did."

I am trying to draw 14-meters worth of centimeter-scale rulers, one meter at a time. I hope to print these in adhesive paper to measure something, but that's neither here nor there.
So far I have this code running (MWE) which yields one-meter worth of ruler. I've attached an image of about 22-cm of lenght.
% \foreach \i in {0,100,...,130}
% Draw Minor tick lines
\foreach \x in {99,97,...,1}
\draw [color=red, line width=6mm](\x cm,0cm) -- (\x cm ,1.5cm)
node[color=red, rotate=90, anchor=west] {\x};
\foreach \x in {100,98,...,0}
\draw [color=black, line width=6mm](\x cm,0cm) -- (\x cm ,1.5cm)
node[color=black, rotate=90, anchor=west] {\x};
Draw Major tick lines
\foreach \x in {100,90,...,0}
\draw [color=black,line width=6mm] (\x cm,4cm) -- (\x cm ,0cm)
node[anchor=north] {\Huge \textbf{\x}};
\foreach \x in {95,85,...,5}
\draw [color=red, line width=6mm] (\x cm,4cm) -- (\x cm ,0cm)
node[anchor=north] {\Huge \textbf{\x}};
% Draw main axis
% \draw [line width=6mm](0cm, \i cm) -- coordinate (x axis mid) (100cm,\i cm);
\draw [line width=6mm](0cm, 0 cm) -- coordinate (x axis mid) (100cm, 0 cm);
I am facing a few problems.
- I need the numbers to increase from right to left. Right now they are increasing from left to right, despite my specifying the
\foreachsequence in decreasing order. How do I accomplish this?
- The ends of the rulers are not mitered. I tried using the
join=miteroption in the
\drawcommand, to no effect.
- Finally, how do I use the
\foreachcommand (if at all) to go from having a single ruler to having fourteen rules stacked vertically, with the right numbering. I managed to accomplish repeating the ruler axis (as you can see commented on the code) but kept getting horrible errors when I tried to do the same with the tick marks and nodes.
There are other things that I can live with, like having the overlapping minor tick mark numbers painted over by the major tick marks, but knowing how to specify the right conditionals to prevent this would be great.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
This week is Hemp History Week. Because I so strongly believe that allowing American farmers to grow this incredibly versatile plant could make a huge difference for our planet and for all of us, I will post a blog each day in celebration.
This week Wonder Knack, whose beautiful images I encouraged everyone to download and spread like wildseed yesterday, offers a great synopsis of the many reasons we should legalize the cultivation of hemp in the United States on the Food Freedom blog. I hope everyone will spread these facts around like wildseed—this week and beyond--as well.
• Humans have been cultivating and using hemp industrially for about 10,000 years.
• Hemp was used as legal tender in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; you could pay your taxes with hemp.
• The first hemp laws in America were "must grow laws" and required colonists to grow hemp.
• Until the 1800s most textile and paper products were made from hemp.
• Hemp produces the strongest, most durable natural soft-fiber on earth.
• Hemp's relatively drought-resistant, high protein seed has been relied upon several times through history during drought-induced famine.
• More than 20,000 products can be made from hemp.
• Hemp produces four times as much ethanol per acre as corn.
• Plastics made from hemp are biodegradable.
• Hemp is the world's No. 1 producer of biomass per acre, with up to 10 tons per acre in four months.
• 1 acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4 acres of trees.
• The waste product from making canvas, rope and linen from cannabis hemp (known as the hurd fiber) is more than 4 times more productive than trees for paper and building materials, according to the USDA.
• Hemp seed is the most complete food source containing all eight essential amino acids, the essential fatty acids, as well as fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
• Most industrialized countries legally grow hemp.
• The United States imports all the hemp used in American consumed products, an industry worth more than $300 million in retail sales annually.
• The DEA spends more than $10 million annually to eradicate feral "ditchweed"—strong heirloom crops grown for the war effort during World War II that were once protected by armed military guards and considered a national treasure.
• Hemp stabilizes and enriches soil, and reduces weeds without chemical applications.
• Hemp was planted around Chernobyl to remove toxins and heal the soil.
This film produced by the USDA for the war effort during World War II is about 10 minutes long and well worth watching.

Some time ago I started to tell you about my friend's wonderful business 'Italia Sweet Italia' http://www.italiasweetitalia.com/ . Fabrizio Lucci has made it his business to take you into the heart of Abruzzo and to let it speak to you!
In June of this year myself and a small group of fellow bloggers were invited to experience Fabrizio's heart in Abruzzo! Day One we enjoyed the wonders of the Trabocchi Coast and the Sea's Bounty as we cooked traditional seafood delights in the small kitchen on the sea that is Trabocco Punta Tufano and tasted some perfectly paired wines before spending the evening in the small seaside town of Vasto.
On arrival in Vasto we were shown to the lovely Hotel San Marco where we would spend 2 nights. The hotel was located close to the heart of Vasto and was very well appointed. The hotel has very friendly hosts, crisp clean rooms and a good breakfast for the active traveller. I would certainly stay with them again in the future and recommend them to other travellers as a pleasing and value for money accommodation option; http://www.hotelsanmarcovasto.com/
In the evening we went for a delightful passiggiata around the town stopping first to enjoy the view from the beautiful gardens of the Palazzo d'Avolos overlooking the stunning Coastline and then enjoyed the wonderful Art that adorns some of the walls within the palace.
We heard about the art of the Palizzi brothers – all offering a different way of seeing their world. I especially liked The Mule pictured above.
Saddles and tapestries showed us a little of the Craftsmanship of years gone by.
We then went to a local Ceramics Studio 'Creta Rossa' and treated to seeing the artist at work hand painting ceramics in her lovely studio.
As the day was coming to a close, the warm Summer air enveloped us and sun began to cast it's elongated shadows we stopped for Aperitivo and some surprise local entertainment with local celebrity Peppino Giannone. Wine, laughter and stories flowed as we enjoyed the end of what had been a very busy and most enjoyable day of Food, Art and Culture in Abruzzo
Another local celebrity posed with us earlier in the evening also – the hospitality of the people in Abruzzo is simply the best. To getaway from Touristic Italy and to experience it's heart is an unforgettable experience and more powerful than throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain – once you've been it will be hard to stay away!Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2013

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Police say a suspect arrested Monday may be responsible for more than 15 burglaries in Spokane's South Hill neighborhood.
Thirty-year-old Nathan Daniel Moore was identified through surveillance video at a Starbucks where he used a stolen gift card.
The Spokesman-Review reports (http://is.gd/xnkmex ) police served a search warrant at Moore's residence and found property stolen in burglaries.
The burglary spree began in early November, and all of the break-ins were within a 10-block radius of where Moore was living.

Spiderhole Movie Reviews
User reviews on Spiderhole
I believe that the custom writing service will help you a lot
I think this was a pretty decent horror flick and i jumped up from my chair couple of times. The film has borrowed from many other scary films, but it still felt pretty original and fresh. One of the scenes was very disgusting and i had to look away for the whole time, it was just too much for me, however the film is not like that the whole time and it is not really gory. There are a lot of scenes that suggest violence but it does not show it and i really liked that about this film. The actors did a really good job and overall i recommend seeing this film in a theater.
This is a horror film directed by Daniel Simpson and stars Em,ma Griffiths Malin, Amy Noble, George Maguire and Reuben-Henry Biggs. The film was alright, I think that the director did a good job developing the characters and giving them some background, therefore the audience cares what will happen to them. The movie is well balances and there is not too much blood and gore, i can not stand slasher films and this one was not like that. I have to give credit for the actors because they did a great job with their roles and i cared about them. Overall, if you want to see a horror film in the theaters, this one is worth your money.

SEATTLE – The No. 28 University of Washington women's tennis team fell to No. 40 Arizona State, 6-1, Friday afternoon at the Bill Quilliam Tennis Center. The match was the Pac-12 opener for both teams as the Dawgs move to 10-3 on the season and 0-1 in league play. Up next for UW is an 11 a.m. match against No. 56 Arizona on Sunday, March 9.
"Overall, I thought everyone fought hard and that we just came out on the short end of the stick," said head coach Jill Hultquist. "Arizona State is a lot better than what their ranking is and we just have to bounce back on Sunday against Arizona. We know it's going to get tougher. Arizona State has always been tough for us. We know we have a lot of tough matches ahead and we just have to keep fighting, that's what our team is all about. It's been hard not having two of our players due to injuries but we just have to keep on going."
In doubles action, ASU struck first with an 8-1 win on court two but UW bounced back quickly as Andjela Nemcevic and Angela Chen defeated Ebony Panoho and Joanna Smith, 8-3. Chen saw her first doubles action of the season as the Dawgs are still without Julija Lukac due to an injury sustained a week ago. Elianne Douglas-Miron and Riko Shimizu continued their strong doubles play with an 8-3 win over Leighann Sahagun and Alexandra Osborne.
"I thought our doubles played really well even with Angela Chen in the lineup, who hasn't played doubles yet this spring season," said Hultquist. " She played well with Andjela. I had put them together in practice and I really liked what she did. She's a smart player, just wish we had more positions because I think she could play doubles and singles for us."
Heading into singles play, UW's lineup once again adjusted as Lukac (undefeated at the number three spot this season) had to watch from the stands. Arizona State started on a little bit of a roll as they won three straight-matches in two sets. Kassity Jump outlasted Natali Coronel on court four 6-3, 6-2 followed by Desirae Krawczyk's 6-4, 6-1 win over Grace Ysidora. On court one, Elianne Douglas-Miron dropped a 6-3, 6-3 decision to No. 48 Stephanie Vlad, giving Arizona State a 3-1 lead.
The final three courts all went to three sets. Riko Shimizu claimed the first set, 6-1, in her match on court five against Ebony Panoho but the Sun Devil responded with two 6-3, 6-3 wins. Natalie Allen, playing in her first match of the season at the number six spot, also claimed the first set 6-4 and gave Joanna Smith all she had as she rallied in game three before falling 7-6 in a tiebreak.
"Natalie stepped up today in the number six spot," added Hultquist. "She made her opponent play. That girl had to beat Natalie.Sshe kept a lot of balls in play and fought until the very end. I think Natalie will learn from this but I think it's good for her to see the competition. She's got really good spirit."
Nemcevic, playing in the three spot, had the closest match of the day as she took Leighann Sahagun to three sets as well before falling 7-5, 3-6, 7-5.
Up next the Huskies host the Arizona Wildcats at 11 a.m. on Sunday, March 9.

Global Programs
Students studying at Penn State New Kensington benefit from a unique program -- one that sets this campus apart.
A global education close to home
Not only do students have access to all of the study abroad opportunities offered through Penn State Global Programs, but they also have a local opportunity to be deeply exposed to a foreign culture. Each year since 2007, the campus has united to celebrate a foreign culture as a part of our Country of Focus program.
"The 'Year Of' celebrations help to expand the global perspectives of our students. The lectures, the concerts, the in-class projects, and the foods all help to show students that their possible experiences of the world around them are much more than they could have imagined," said Bill Hamilton, assistant professor of biology and co-coordinator of Global Programs on campus.
Reflecting on successful past ventures
The 2011 country of focus was Spain, and the year-long celebration culminated with a 7-day trip to Spain during spring break. More than 130 of our students have participated in previous international campus trips to date. View a map of where we have been.
When the group returns to New Kensington, student travelers often reflect on their experiences abroad. Here is some of their recent feedback.
- "This trip was a great cultural experience. Learning about other cultures rounds out the college experience and can only make us better people and better prepared for the future."
- "A trip like this is a challenge to open your mind. It changes your ideas of what the world is like."
- "We need to learn about people and places that are different than those we have grown up with. The sense of discovery and newness is incredible."

With Boston Opportunities Beckoning, Firm Shifts Focus
The departure of a key investor can be unsettling for a venture firm. But sometimes it provides an opportunity to change focus.
Take Canada-based Summerhill Venture Partners, for example. Following the July departure of David McCarthy from its Toronto office, the firm is on the hunt for a new general partner to work out of its Boston office.
The firm is currently in talks with several people about the position and expects to add a new partner by the beginning of the year to focus on wireless, IT and digital media opportunities in the Boston area, Gary Rubinoff, one of its managing directors, told VentureWire.
Summerhill has frequently invested in Boston-area companies and has had a venture partner, George Cooney, based there for a couple of years, but has never had a partner there full-time. In September, the firm co-led a $5.6 million Series A for Sonian Inc., a Dedham, Mass.-based company that provides hosted storage for archiving employee communications. It's also invested in New England companies such as Ellacoya Networks Inc., a deep-packet-inspection company that was sold to Arbor Networks Inc. about two years ago, and mobile search and advertising company JumpTap Inc.
Summerhill tries to be actively involved with the companies it invests in, but that can be difficult to do without having a general partner in the area, Rubinoff said.
McCarthy remains an investor in Summerhill's current fund, a $175 million vehicle that closed about two years ago. That fund was its first since spinning out of Bell Canada Enterprises. McCarthy is still involved with the firm as a member of its advisory board.
McCarthy said he left the firm because he wanted to get involved in early-stage start-ups that are close to his home, rather than the later-stage, geographically dispersed investments he'd been doing with Summerhill. He's now consulting with a handful of Ottawa-based start-ups on business and financing strategy through a firm he founded called Focus Corporate Development.

In my career I have done concerts in all kinds of places. Minor league ball parks with stages towed behind tractors. State fairs where the stage was set on railroad tracks and moved into place. And then there's the circuit of race car events they seem to have every year. As I understand it, plenty of good old boy country acts play the Nascar circuit. Nascar is big time stock car racing I believe. Makes me think of the Dukes of Hazard. These races attract humongous crowds and I'm sure there…Continue

It's not that often that I get to play some club gigs. Usually it's because one of my acts is playing a benefit show for a worthy cause, or they just want an occasional break from an arena to do an intimate show. Seems to be the trend now with bands doing residency stays in Vegas or other hot spots. The exception is when a group has some backing and is willing to pay my fee. I long ago accepted the fact that money talks, and when it does, I listen.
So for a quick…Continue

Thank you! Huntington is a great town!
I was hoping to get some answers to some questions about lighting an MMA cage for my events:
I have some lighting questions for a live MMA event. I wanted to properly light the cage similar to how the pro events you see on TV but on a budget.
I'm looking into the tripar LED lights to light the cage. The cage is roughly 26'x26' but in shape of hexagon.
How many of the lights would be needed to light the cage? How high up should we go above the cage?
Thanks for the help!
A dealer told me they were getting damaged in shipping. Makes you wonder how they hold up inside a console that bounces down the road in a truck continually. Other than that I haven't had any problems other than a couple small bugs.
I wish we could take the FX engine from a Hog and stick it in an MA. You'd have the perfect console! lol
I hear ya. I had to replace a Multi-touch in a MA2 Light this year and it cost $2800 for a reburb. A new one was $4k. I had to send it to ACT for repair. They won't let me do it myself.
Hi Nook, Bummer were going to miss ya in Detroit this time around. Unfortunately I'm here in Michigan doing shows, so no warm climate in my near future. Travel Safe and see ya soon, Joe
Yeah, spent almost three years to heal up from losing Sallie, and stayed out of the biz.
New shows so show up, but always out of the blue, and tight notice. I still keep my cell phone handy for folks who are using say a Hog!1000. Man, with the right grouping I could make the thing really sing. I saw Tom McKeown's band a week or so ago. Great unplugged type style. Six people is a tall order, and he was cool with my production notes.

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score
FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State senior pitcher Mackenzie Oakes threw a no-hitter in a 8-0, six-inning victory over Cal State Fullerton and then the Bulldog softball team posted their fourth-straight shutout with a 8-0 win over Santa Clara in five on Sunday at Bulldog Diamond.
Oakes' no-hitter was the third of her career and the 66th in Fresno State history. Her performance came after a solid outing against Santa Clara on Saturday when she took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and only allowed two hits in the 7-0 win.
"I can't say enough about her performance, she did a really great job," head coach Margie Wright said. "She just kept them off balance mixing in and out and her pitches that she needed, she hit the spot every time."
On Sunday, Oakes (3-0) struck out four and walked just one against the Fullerton. She induced 14 ground-ball outs, six that came right back to her in the circle, and not one ball reached the outfield in her flawless performance.
"It was just a great team win, the defense played amazing and we obviously scored a lot of runs," Oakes said. "I was just trying to make the ball move, keep it low and get the infield a lot of ground balls."
This was the second-straight day the Bulldogs shut out both Santa Clara and Cal State Fullerton and they improve to 7-2 on the year with the four wins over the weekend. The last time Fresno State had four consecutive shutouts was from May 1-8, 2009.
"They're playing some good softball right now and that's good to see," Wright said.
Fellow senior Michelle Moses (3-2) drew the start in the second game. One day after giving up just one hit and striking out 13 against Cal State Fullerton, she came back Sunday and had a three-hit, seven-strikeout performance to beat Santa Clara.
"They're both great pitchers and have really been doing a great job in the circle," Wright said of her two seniors. "To continue that, especially going down to Palm Springs [next weekend], would be awesome."
Offensively, Fresno State combined for 18 hits in the two games and eight runs apiece in the pair of run-rule victories.
"We've been trying to find the right combination in our lineup and today the lineups we used really worked," Wright said.
Senior Andrea Ortega and freshman Brenna Moss led the team as each had four hits on the day. Moss ended game two with a bases loaded triple that she scored on as well when she snuck home from third when the Broncos were slow getting the ball back into the infield.
Fresno State had six different players drive in runs on Sunday. Senior Kaitlin Griffin led the group, as she had four RBIs and was able to extend her hitting streak to seven games. That matches the longest hitting streak from the entire 2011 season.
Senior Courtney Moore hit her second home run of the season in the first game and Stesha Brazil also drove in two against Fullerton.
Freshman Michelle Solomon had three RBIs on the day and hit one of four Bulldog doubles.

David Tepper and Appaloosa Management built huge positions in Bank of America, Citigroup and an index of bank shares during the first quarter, betting big on a bank rally that soared during the period.
The noted investor reported in a filing Monday that his fund now holds about 7.5 million shares of Bank of America, 6.1 million shares of Citigroup, and 4.2 million shares of the Financial Select Sector SPDR, an exchange-traded fund tied to bank stocks.
Bank of America shares are up 32% year-to-date and had risen 50% at one point during the quarter. Citigroup shares are up 7% year-to-date after giving back big gains earlier this year as well. The ETF is up 12%.
Meanwhile, Tepper also reported new or largely boosted stakes in several airlines and automotive companies, including 6.1 million shares of Delta, 6.5 million shares of Ford, 2.2 million shares of General Motors, 8 million shares of United Continental and 11 million shares of U.S. Airways.
Appaloosa also increased its stake in Apple, to 685,000 shares compared to 181,850 at the end of last year. Apple, the world's most valuable company, has seen its shares rise 38% year-to-date.
Other tech moves included an increased stake in Microsoft and Oracle, and a new stake in Google.
In the filing for the fourth-quarter Appaloosa had showed a significant paring of holdings, with very few additions.

Traditionally styled fixtures can enhance a revitalized downtown district by combining a vintage appearance with contemporary technology. These fixtures are available with full- and semi-cutoff light and a choice of light sources.
The most popular streetscape fixtures are made from heavy-wall cast aluminum construction and have a 3-mil polyester powder coating. In areas where vandalism is a concern, municipalities often select vandal-resistant fixtures constructed with metal cages around the lamps and finished with anti-graffiti coating on the pole and lamp head.
Selection Resources
During the initial stages of a new lighting project, a limited number of luminaires and related components should be identified for final selection. Manufacturers can provide resources such as design CDs, photometric information on mounting height recommendations and fixture spacing, layouts to assist with setting light levels and distribution, and submittal drawings of the selected assembly,including technical detail.
If there is a requirement to match existing luminaires, poles, or bases, the design team and in-house tooling department can be consulted about feasibility of reproduction. These services are typically available at no cost. Tooling costs for custom products can often be eliminated due to the large inventory of custom tooling available at major manufacturers.
When your community is ready to renovate existing lighting or is planning a new civic project, you can find environmentally sound fixture choices that offer the latest styling, technical advances, and low-cost maintenance features.

The season is upon us, and the air is thick with the perfume of possibility.
The Detroit Lions could go to the Super Bowl.
Robert Griffin III could top the rookie season turned in by Cam Newton last year.
DeMarco Murray could run for 2,000 yards.
And why stop there?
Last season, Victor Cruz was undrafted in all but about .01 percent of fantasy leagues. He played three games in 2010 and didn't have a single reception. In 2011, he had 82 catches for 1,536 yards and nine TDs. Cruz helped win leagues for a lot of the people who claimed him from the free-agent pool. A player who was regarded as a complete afterthought at this time a year ago ended up being one of the most valuable receivers in the league.
Wild things will happen this season. Really wild things. Things that are inconceivable now will be accepted as plain truth a year from now. Open your mind to allow for a wider range of possibilities.
David Wilson could run for 1,000 yards this season. Ahmad Bradshaw has a history of foot problems. Wilson was a first-round pick, so the Giants are obviously expecting a significant return on their investment. If Bradshaw misses a large number of games and Wilson plays up to his potential, he could run for 1,000 yards.
But what if Bradshaw misses a large number of games, and Wilson not only fails to play up to his potential but is such a horrific liability in blitz pickup that the Giants believe they would be putting Eli Manning's health at risk by leaving Wilson on the field? Could Da'Rel Scott run for 1,000 yards? After what Cruz did for the Giants last season, are you sure you're willing to conclude there's no chance Scott whatsoever that could run for 1,000 yards?
I'm not trying to convince you to dump your fifth running back and pick up Da'Rel Scott. But if you're willing to open your mind to unique possibilities in fantasy football, you'll be prepared to move swiftly to take advantage of radical changes in the landscape, while close-minded owners stubbornly refuse to believe what they're seeing.
What strange possibilities are within the realm of reason? What could be wrought from just a few small changes in circumstances?
The list below is not a series of predictions, but merely a series of possibilities. Very few of these scenarios will play out as presented — maybe none. Consider this an exercise to limber up your highly analytical fantasy-football brain and stretch an imagination that might have become overly rigid after countless hours of number-crunching and list-making. But maybe some of it could happen.
Will it really be so strange if …
Michael Turner runs for 1,500 yards and 12 TDs? Conventional wisdom has Turner playing a diminished role in the Falcons' offense this season as the team gets pass-happy and seeks to get Jacquizz Rodgers more involved. Thing is, Atlanta's offensive line isn't very good. For a pass-happy offense to function effectively, its offensive line has to be able to consistently neutralize the pass rush. It's questionable whether the Falcons' offense can do that, and it doesn't help that QB Matt Ryan is less mobile than one of those shambling Sleestaks from "Land of the Lost." Maybe the Falcons determine that they need the threat of play-action for Ryan to be at his best, which means establishing the running game with a heavy-duty running back who gained 4.5 yards per carry last season and has run for 50 TDs over the past four seasons. And maybe when we least expect it, Turner produces the best season of his career.
Tim Tebow runs for 12 TDs? The Jets' passing game is woefully inadequate. But with their rugged defense, the Jets can win with an über-conservative offense that avoids turnovers and sacks, keeps the field-position battle tilted in their favor, and chews a little clock. Tebow isn't that much worse than Mark Sanchez as a passer, and his rushing would add a new dimension to an offense sorely lacking in skill-position talent. Tebow has eight TD runs in 14 career starts. With his agility and tackle-breaking ability, he could run for 12 scores if given the reins early enough in the season.
Joe Flacco throws for 5,000 yards? He has thrown for right around 3,600 yards in each of the past three seasons. With 3,600 yards as a baseline, Flacco would need to average 87.5 more passing yards per game to get to 5,000 for the season. The Ravens are planning to go no-huddle frequently. Flacco looked sharp in the no-huddle during the preseason, and the faster pace is destined to increase his passing attempts. He's entering his prime, and if the no-offense clicks and WR Torrey Smith blossoms into a superstar, Flacco could blow away his baseline stats. (And while we're on the Ravens' passing game …)
Jacoby Jones has 1,000 receiving yards? A perennial disappointment in Houston, the fleet-footed Jones is trying to jump-start his career in Baltimore. He looked sharp in the preseason and won the job as the Ravens' No. 3 receiver. He's in line to get plenty of snaps in the team's up-tempo offense, and he would start if anything happened to Smith or Anquan Boldin.
Beanie Wells runs for 1,500 yards? Wells has a reputation of being injury-prone, he had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason, and he has Ryan Williams trying to steal his job. But Williams is returning from a knee injury of his own, and for all the injury problems Wells has had during his NFL career, he has missed only five games in three seasons. Few still question Wells' ability after he ran for 1,047 yards and 10 TDs in 14 games last season, gaining 4.3 yards per carry behind a bad offensive line. If his body cooperates and Williams' body doesn't, Wells could conceivably get 300 carries and put up career-best numbers.
Pierre Thomas accumulates 1,500 combined yards and 10 TDs? Yeah, yeah … the Saints are the ultimate RB-by-committee team. Mark Ingram is the battering ram, Darren Sproles is the speedy passing-game specialist, and Thomas is the jack-of-all-trades. Ingram was hampered by injuries as a rookie and has yet to display any special characteristics. Sproles is 5-foot-6 and isn't built to run between the tackles. Despite the committee approach, Thomas scored six TDs and almost hit 1,000 combined yards last season. In 2009, he scored eight TDs and came up just shy of 1,100 combined yards. If either Ingram or Sproles (or both) were to go down, maybe the Saints plug in Chris Ivory and/or Travaris Cadet to take up the slack, or maybe they just give Thomas, their best overall back, a lot more work.
Rod Streater has 1,000 receiving yards? Denarius Moore is having hamstring problems. As any 2011 Andre Johnson owner can tell you, hamstring problems sometimes linger. For all the love Darrius Heyward-Bey seems to be getting in fantasy drafts, he's just a guy. Jacoby Ford is a one-trick pony (and a brittle one at that). Streater, an undrafted free agent who had 19 receptions for Temple last season, was phenomenal in the preseason. He's in line to start on Monday night if Moore can't go. Is Streater this year's Victor Cruz?
Matt Flynn throws 25 TD passes? Yes, he lost the QB derby in Seattle, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll wear the headset all season. The Seahawks are gunning for a division title. If Russell Wilson struggles, Pete Carroll is apt to give the rookie a quick hook. Flynn was simply smashing in his two NFL starts to date. Even if you discount the circus numbers he put up against the Lions in Week 17 last season, you should respect the poise he showed in nearly leading the shorthanded Packers to a road win against the Patriots in 2010. He's a good quarterback. He eventually will get to prove it, and maybe sooner than we expect.
Eddie Royal has 100 receptions? He reportedly clicked with Philip Rivers right away in OTAs. With San Diego's offensive line in terrible shape, Rivers will go to his slot receiver repeatedly as an act of self-preservation. And don't forget that Royal had 91 receptions for Denver as a rookie in 2008.
Joel Dreessen has 10 TD catches? Jacob Tamme had a nice 10-game run for the Colts in 2010 after Dallas Clark got hurt. But a career average of 9.3 yards per catch suggests that Tamme is a marginal talent, and that Peyton Manning simply hammered a square peg into a round hole after Clark went down. Dreessen, who played an overlooked but important role in the Texans' passing game the past couple seasons, easily could emerge as Manning's tight end of choice in Denver, and with WRs Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker drawing heavy defensive attention, there could be a lot of red-zone looks for Manning's primary tight end.
Bernard Scott runs for 1,000 yards? He's the backup to BenJarvus Green-Ellis, and a hand injury will sideline Scott in Week One. But he's intriguing as a speedy complement to the plodding Green-Ellis. It was long speculated that Scott would steal Cedric Benson's job, but it never happened. Maybe Scott has better luck stealing BJGE's gig.
Julian Edelman has 60 catches? Not only can Edelman play defensive back in a pinch, but he also does a heck of a Wes Welker impersonation. If Welker were to go down, the Patriots probably could slide Edelman into Welker's role and not miss a beat. If Brandon Lloyd or one of the tight ends went down, the Patriots could throw some unusual looks at opponents by putting Welker and Edelman on the field together.
D.J. Williams has 50 catches? By all accounts the young tight end had a terrific training camp with the Packers. Starter Jermichael Finley is a phenomenal talent but is prone to occasional lapses in focus. During the Packers' lone regular-season loss last season to the Chiefs, Finley's hands were so bad that you wouldn't have trusted him to hold an infant. It's unlikely that Finley would fall completely out of favor in Green Bay, but in the Packers' offense, there's a lot of wealth to go around. Williams could force his way into the mix and show the same sort of playmaking ability he displayed during a fruitful college career at Arkansas.

On Tuesday night, police in Upper Darby, with search warrant in tow, went to the an apartment in the 6800 block of Ludlow Street shared by Ranisha Johnson, 18, and Marquis Taylor, 22. There police found Taylor, Johnson, and 51-year-old Renee Arthur, who resides in the 200 block of Wembley Road, and Johnson's 4-month-old son while investigating the property as a possible source of drug sales.
While at the property, police officers confiscated numerous bags of crack cocaine, heroin, $400 in cash and a fully loaded.32-caliber revolver wrapped in a pair of men's sweatpants, according to police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. He added, "They were dealing drugs out of the apartment," Chitwood said. He further stated that a caseworker for Delaware County Children and Youth Services had to be contacted and the child was then turned over to Johnson's grandmother, Chitwood said.
The three alleged drug dealers were arraigned Wednesday morning on charges including drug possession with the intent to deliver, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of children and conspiracy. Bail information was not available.
According to authorities Taylor has an extensive criminal past, including arrests for dealing drugs, robbery and weapons violations.
These arrests come only a day after Upper Darby police searched the 2400 block of Manor Ave in search of an alleged heroin dealer Michael Hill. Hill was not found at the residence and police are focusing their search on the Philadelphia area.

Following weeks of scrutiny over its warranty policies in China, Apple CEO Tim Cook says it has improved services in the region. The info came in the form of a note posted in Chinese on Apple's Chinese site.
According to "CNET" (http://tinyurl.com/c6zzsfm), in the letter, Cook apologized for a lack of communication on the matter, and said that the company is implementing improvements in three areas of its warranty policy and related services:
° A new repair policy for the iPhone 4 and 4S that provides a new phone exchange or new parts replacement for a year after purchase, and extends warranties on those devices repaired within the last year.
° New warranty explanation pages on Apple's Chinese site.
° More training and policing of Apple Authorized Service Providers who are doing repairs.
The company also pointed to its online feedback form for anything that falls outside those changes, notes "CNET."

In this movie, we follow Wolverine (Jackman) as he is given the hard task of trying to reunite all the mutants and stop a war that is going to happen in the future. The first task is stopping Mystique (Lawrence) from killing Trask (Dinklage).
Right away we get into the action of the film as we get to see into the future from the last X-men movie and how they are all being killed by Sentinels, a guard against mutants created by a doctor named Trask (Peter Dinklage). The future mutants send back Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in an attempt to stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from killing her because she is the key to the Sentinels success.
Of course, it's not an easy task for Wolverine as younger Xavier (James McAvoy) is none too happy with losing not only his closest friend Mystique, but also another good friend in Eric (Michael Fassbender). Wolverine takes on the task, along side The Beast (Nicholas Hoult), to try and unite the mutants from the past so that they can stop the Sentinel program from becoming a thing in the future.
Time travel in any concept is very hard to do. It's hard to explain and it's hard to paint a clear picture of the past and the future. The trailer made it seem like it was a bit confusing, but the movie flows so nicely from future to past, that you don't get lost at all.
Director Bryan Singer did an amazing job at connecting the mutants from the past with the mutants of the future. He took off right where Matthew Vaughn (director of First Class) left off but with it being 10 years from that time period, it allowed him to expand the mutant universe and make it his own. He did things on a much larger scale and didn't leave any stone unturned.
This movie is without a doubt the best X-men movie to be made. It's a solid story line and the action and fighting sequences are exquisite. The movie keeps you at the edge of your seat the entire time as you watch it unfold on the big screen. This movie loops all the X-men movies together and helps move it into the future.
The actors certainly stepped up in this movie. James McAvoy certainly showed that even Professor Xavier had some doubts about the mutant race in his lifetime and was able to capture that darkness that he had after losing two people that he loved. Jennifer Lawrence certainly came in her own as Mystique and it's no wonder that they will try and make a Mystique spin-off (though it seems like a slap in the face sometimes to Rebecca Rominj who was phenomenal as Mystique in the first 3 X-men movies). Nicholas Hoult and Michael Fassbender put in solid performances, and the addition of Peter Dinklage added another element to the movie.
What is most exciting about the movie is all the little 'Easter eggs' that were left behind and the number of cameos that the movie did. Literally everyone who was ever in an X-men movie was in this movie even if for a short period of time. And the best connection, or 'egg', is when Striker was introduced into the movie from the '70s and his importance to the series.
Overall, this is an amazing movie that you do not want to miss out on. It fixes what went wrong with X-men 3 and helps the franchise move forward into the future.
X-men Days of Future Past stars Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Nicholas Hoult and is rated PG-13.

MEDINA — The husband of a former Claggett Middle School teacher was placed on three years' probation Thursday for growing marijuana at their Litchfield Township home.
Vito Asaro, 33, of the 8400 block of Spieth Road, pleaded guilty in February to illegal marijuana cultivation and marijuana trafficking. He faced up to a year in prison on each charge.
His wife, 28-year-old Katie Hill-Asaro, was sentenced to a three-year intervention program in January after pleading guilty to permitting drug abuse. If she makes it through the program, her plea will be withdrawn and her case will be dismissed.
Her charge accused her of allowing her husband to grow marijuana. Police said she did not take part in the cultivation or trafficking, but was aware of both.
In addition to probation, her husband must complete 24 hours of community service and will have his driver's license suspended for six months.
Medina County Common Pleas Judge James L. Kimbler said Asaro will spend six months in jail if he violates probation.
The couple was arrested after an undercover Medina County Drug Task Force agent bought marijuana from Asaro in July. An August search warrant yielded 28 plants from the 4-acre Litchfield Township property.
After her arrest, Hill-Asaro resigned from her teaching position. She was an eighth-grade math teacher.

Tyeb Mehta
Mehta was born on 26th July 1925 in the Kapadvanj city of Gujarat.
In the initial years of his career, he worked as a film editor
in a cinema laboratory. However, soon, his interest in painting
led him to leave that line of career. He came to Mumbai and joined
the Sir J.J. School of Art. He studied at the school for five
years, from 1947 to 1952. There, he came into contact with Akbar
Padamsee and joined the Progressive Artist's Group. In the year
1954, Tyeb Mehta went to London and Paris for four months and
then returned to India.
he started participating in group-exhibitions on a regular basis.
His first solo exhibition of drawings, paintings and sculptures
was organized at the Jehangir Art Gallery of Bombay (now Mumbai),
in 1959. Tyeb Mehta moved to London in 1959 and worked there till
1965. In 1965, he came back to his home country and started living
in Delhi. Tyeb received Rockefeller Fellowship in 1968 and went
to U.S.A for a few years. Thereafter, he started experimenting
in films also. In the 1980s, he worked as 'Artist in Residence'
in Shantiniketan.
Tyeb Mehta participated in a number of international exhibitions,
including 'Ten Contemporary Indian Painters' at Trenton in U.S.A.;
'Deuxieme Biennial Internationale de Menton', 'Festival Intemationale
de la Peinture' and Cagnes-Sur-Mer in France; 'Modem Indian Paintings'
at Hirschhom Museum of Washington and 'Seven Indian Painters'
at Gallerie Le Monde de U art of Paris.
One of the paintings of Tyeb Mehta holds the record for being
the highest priced Indian painting. In December 2005, his painting
'Gesture' was sold for 31 million Indian rupees at the Osian's
auction. His film 'Koodal' won the Filmfare Critic's Award in
1970. Tyeb Mehta was awarded the 'Kalidas Samman' by the Government
of Madhya Pradesh in 1988

Let $R$ be an integral domain. Show that a non zero, non unit element $c$ of $R$ is NOT reducible iff its only divisors are units of $R$ and elements of $R$ which are associates of $c$.
Sign up

Let $a\in R$, $a\neq 0$ and $a$ not a unit.
I will proof your statement by using the following (quite common) definition of the irreducibility of $a$: Whenever $a = bc$ with $b,c\in R$, then at least one element of $b$ and $c$ is a unit in $R$.
Let $A$ be the statement "$a$ is irreducible" and $B$ the statement "Every divisor of $a$ in $R$ is either a unit or an associate of $a$".
We want to show $A\iff B$ or equivalenty, $$\neg A\iff \neg B.$$ We split the proof into the two implications.
,,$\neg B\implies\neg A$'': Assume there exists a divisor $c\in R$ of $a$ which is neither a unit nor associate to $a$. Since $c$ is a divisor of $a$, there a $b\in R$ with $a = bc$. Then $b$ is not a unit (otherwise, $a$ associated to $c$). So $a = bc$ where $b,c$ are no units. Thus, $a$ is reducible.
,,$\neg A\implies \neg B$'': If on the other hand $a$ is reducible, then $a = bc$ with $b,c$ elements of $R$ which are no units. Thus, $c$ is a divisor of $a$ which is neither a unit nor associate to $a$ (otherwise, $b$ is a unit).

Police Arrest Man for Beating Dallas Clerk With Hammers | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
Printable View
I fully expect CNN to report that the assailant had an "AR15 style assault weapon" at home.
This has always been the problem. Criminals and what they do. It doesn't matter what they use as a "weapon" it is the fact that they USE things to injure and kill. We could have every object on the planet restricted or banned and somehow thugs like this guy will not stop.
I think society as a whole has grown a bit more violent, and the reasons may be varied. I'm quite certain that drug abuse is perhaps what drives them to be violent. Drugs alter the mindset of individuals and they do not think rationally. The need to have the next drug fix motivates them. The fear of not having the substance to injest because their body craves it also makes them violent.
We can't fix the problem unless we can get people to stop using drugs, and sometimes I think it is a battle we will ultimately lose. This guy is gone. He's toast. His rehabilitation is not going to occur in this life. I hate to say it but once they go over to the Dark Side, it's forever.
well that is the biggest part of crimes committed today. Most are drug related. There are some from people that are just plain crazy but the vast about has to do with the illegal drugs in this country. It is illegal drugs and the gangs that control them and the addicts trying to steal to get the money for the drugs.

Designed to keep track of one child's lesson plans for a year, this organizer has several features that would please both the structured homeschooler or those who prefer unit studies. This comb bound planner includes an attendance record as well as pages for expenses, projects and field trips, book lists, progress reports, grading, monthly overview and 70 lesson plan pages with two pages covering each of 35 weeks. The Home Educator's Lesson Planner is unique in that the lesson plan pages provide rows but not columns, allowing the parent to determine the number of columns based on subjects studied. Older students could also use this planner to track their assignments and performance.
Can a practical, hard-working tool designed for everyday use also be inspiring and elegant? The CHC Lesson Planner is just such a tool. Developed to be used with the CHC Middle School Lesson Plan Guide, it is completely useful at any grade level and with any curriculum. This inexpensive plan book is consumable and designed for all subjects for one student for one academic year. This unusual feature supports the CHC philosophy that a student should gradually grow into independent study; having their own planner helps the student to take pride in their growing ability to work productively and independently. The Planner is specifically for a Catholic teacher and student, with reminders of Feast Days in the planning reminders and other Catholic references throughout.
Clear, uncluttered pages are printed using an easy-on-the-eye brown ink. They are spiral bound in a lay-flat presentation with a "jelly-proof"cover. The inside covers concisely lay out the CHC curriculum suggestions for grades 5-8. The Planner is designed for four nine-week quarters and begins with a "Welcome" section that provides help and advice for the start of a new school year. Warm and encouraging, there are specific suggestions for the entire family as well as the middle school-aged student. Each quarter's section begins with a well-organized planning guide, an independent study chart (described in the Middle School Lesson Plan Guide in detail, but a completed sample is provided), and a motivating reflection for the homeschool teacher to ponder throughout the quarter. Each school week is laid out on a two-page spread with a grid for 8 subjects or goals over 5 days. A sample of a completed week is provided. Each week's spread also includes a section for notes and, my favorite, a motivational reflection that is either a helpful hint, useful advice, or a Biblical quotation. This book helps to make planning an enjoyable task as well as a concise documentation of the student's work for the entire school year.

She goes over all of the gossip of the firm, the secretaries who arouse their boss, two others who want to share the same man by pretending to be lesbians before sharing his dick. She also talks about the photocopieuse, where a brunette readjusts her stockings before doing a torrid striptease for one of the bosses.

All lovers of beautiful women like to look in fine lingerie, sexy, with lace, ribbons and netting but this beauty is not the shoes that go with it. Of shoes with high heels literally transform the silhouette of the unknown coming toward you. His approach makes it totally desirable proud, her legs do not seem to finish, his chest is arrogance. So how to resist such an appeal to the pleasure. This is what we remember Kendo in this film where the fetish high heels is just the prelude to an orgy of hard sex. A masterly demonstration that can be beautiful and perverse.

Joe Henry: Civilians
Joe Henry (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Bill Frisell (electric guitar)
Civilians (Anti 89860)
Joe Henry (vocals, acoustic guitar), Bill Frisell (electric guitar), Greg Leisz (acoustic guitar, mandolin, lap steel guitar),
Patrick Warren (piano, organ, chamberlain), David Pilch (bass), Jay Bellerose (drums/percussion).
Composed by Joe Henry.
Recorded: The Garfield House, CA, Jan/Feb 2007
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Bill Frisell has always been an in-demand session player, from his early ECM days to his extended stints with John Zorn and Paul Motian. Over the past decade, this reputation has not only increased but, just as Frisell's own music, it has crossed over genre lines – where Frisell has lent his song-centric talents to countless singer-songwriters, just a few of which include: Lucinda Williams (West), Paul Simon (Surprise), Loudon Wainwright III (Here Come the Choppers), Elvis Costello (Deep Dead Blue), Vic Chestnut (Ghetto Bells), and Joe Henry's 2004 release for the Anti label, Civilians.
[While Frisell is the star of the show here, a brief sidebar is owed to Joe Henry, one of the great unsung singer-songwriters of the past two decades who's a jazz fan and owner of this impressive list of musicians who have contributed to his last handful of solo albums: Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman (live in studio!), Marc Ribot, Brad Mehldau, Brian Blade, Don Byron, and Jason Moran. Nowadays, Henry is busy as a producer, evidenced by two new recordings that have been reviewed on jazz.com: Allen Toussaint's The Bright Mississippi and Ramblin' Jack Elliot's A Stranger Here. All great music to be explored.]
Of the abovementioned jazz-crossover guest spots offered by Henry, his smartest and most successful was inviting Bill Frisell to perform on all of his Civilians record. Alongside longtime Frisell collaborator Greg Leisz (guitar, pedal steel, mandolin), Frisell provides a master class in complementing a singer in a pop setting – leaving plenty of space but poking in to connect lyrical phrases at all of the perfect times. With another musician at the helm, this entire album could have taken the turn toward cluttered, but not with Frisell involved. On "Civilians," Frisell (panned mid-left) creates a fun, twisted, dissonant little melody to match the chugging New Orleans-meets-Tom Waits groove. Note how he fuses this instrumental theme with Henry's vocal to achieve unity from beginning to end.
