Man, nice leather and good prices. This holster addiction is as bad as my 1911 addiction.
Nice indeed! Is that a custom DW CBOB ??
My crossdraw holster for the Springfield XD arrived yesterday. It is well made, comfortable, and looks great.
I will have Greg make more holsters for me!
...I hadn't noticed this thread before.
Nice rigs! I love their colors.
lookin good!
Look's like another nice rig from Greg, enjoy. Is the cross draw for car carry mostly or?
I started carrying crossdraw when I was in the building business. I was in and out of the truck all day. It's habit now and works well for me.
I'm really happy with this holster and will be ordering more from Greg in the future.
for some reason when I was making that one as a Xdraw it just looked weird to me. I was in the process of redesigning the entire series and this holster was the first of the new version and first crossdraw I had done in awhile.
NICE work Greg ! Just sent in my order for one of your IWB's for my GLOCK !!

Grosse Pointe City
DDA to take over marketing, event planning in Village
Village Association to continue, but in different capacity
By K. Michelle Moran
Posted January 2, 2013
GROSSE POINTE CITY — After roughly 40 years of planning and organizing special events and promoting the City's Village shopping district, the Grosse Pointe Village Association is hoping to scale back its efforts and hand control of much of those responsibilities to the City's Downtown Development Authority.
Village Association President Mike Kramer said the DDA, which was established in 2008, would be taking on marketing of the district and planning of events in 2013.
Kramer said the Village Association isn't disbanding, but it is preparing to assume a different position, serving as a communications link between the businesses and the DDA.
"We're changing our role," he said.
Kramer said he believes the DDA "will bring more professionalism (and) more continuity to marketing." In recent years, it's become more difficult for the Village Association Board to fill its ranks and find volunteers.
"There's fewer and fewer independent merchants, and it's getting harder and harder to get enough people on the board," Kramer explained.
At a DDA board meeting Dec. 3 in City Council chambers, the board discussed hiring someone to run and market special events.
City Manager Pete Dame said they need to hire someone as soon as possible to oversee upcoming events, such as VillageFest and Music on the Plaza. They need someone who can handle public relations, as well as produce these events and secure sponsors, he said.
And with the free outdoor jazz concert series MOTP starting in June, "We would need to find someone fast," Dame said.
In addition, they need someone to book the acts and set up sound stages, although these aspects of MOTP could be contracted out, Dame said.
He said city staff and the parks and recreation director could handle public relations for Halloween festivities in the Village and the annual Christmas tree lighting, and longtime Village Association board member Ellen Durand has agreed to continue running the Paint the Window contest for kids, which typically takes place in May.
Ideally, Dame said, they would hire one person for public relations, booking and event coordination of Village events, but he acknowledged that they might not be able to find an individual capable of doing all of that. He said the DDA budget includes "sufficient funds to hire" needed personnel and still has an additional cushion for other expenses. The revised budget covers February-June 2013, Dame said. The proposed DDA marketing program budget for 2012-2038 is now $500,000, up from the $300,000 initially suggested, and the budget for that same period sets aside another $500,000 for "professional, technical and administrative assistance."
"This does not enhance what the Village Association is currently doing. … Ultimately, (doing even more than what the Village Association is able to do now) would be our goal," Dame said.
There's about $20,000-$25,000 in the current budget for professional marketing, but Dame said, in the future, they hope to hire a professional consultant to come up with a master marketing plan, at a cost of roughly $20,000-$40,000. He said he hoped, by the time the budget season rolled around, they'd be able to discuss this in greater detail.
"This is a work in progress," said Mayor Dale Scrace, who's also on the DDA board. "We need to take this step, knowing that there's going to be some tweaking (along the way)."
While the Village Association has long been an independent volunteer organization, the DDA — which was created by the City Council — essentially falls under the City's authority, and its board is appointed by City leaders. The marketing consultant is an employee of the DDA but would report to the city manager, Dame said. Dame is also the DDA director.
DDA board member James Bellanca Jr. asked that the DDA be involved in reviewing finalists for the marketing position.
"It's our first hire," he said. "It's a key position. And I think we would like to be involved in making that decision."
DDA board member Wendy Richards concurred with Bellanca, saying they wanted to have input to continue their vision for the Village. She said they weren't seeking authority over day-to-day decisions.
"This is the face of the Village," Richards said of the marketing person. "This is our first choice out of the gate."
Dame said he could send the board a list of people under consideration but suggested that this not establish a precedent, as he didn't want to see the DDA members "bog yourselves down in details."
City Council member Christopher Walsh, a member of the DDA board, agreed with Dame.
"A director hires people, and you move on," Walsh said.
Despite some differences of opinion on the details, many Village leaders seem to feel that allowing the DDA to shoulder additional responsibilities is a positive step. As Kramer noted, when the Village Association started about 40 years ago, there was no Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce or DDA.
Former Village Association executive director and longtime board member Beverly Leinweber called it "a good move."
"Everything I ran (for the Village) was on a shoe string," she said. "(With) the DDA, it will be good to have a body that can generate income to keep events going."
Besides continuing popular events, Leinweber said the DDA might be able to "maybe make better events," as well.
"We want to make those (Village) events good for the entire community," said City resident Bill Huntington, a Village Association member who once owned the store Hickey's/Walton-Pierce. "It is our community, and we're all in the same boat, and we all want to paddle in the same direction."
City officials are moving forward with the proposed changes. During a Dec. 10 City Council meeting, City Clerk Julie Arthurs confirmed that the council voted unanimously in favor of the consent agenda, which included scheduling a public hearing on the DDA plan amendment for 7 p.m. Jan. 28 in council chambers. Anyone interested in these proceedings is welcome to attend.

Despite poor attendance, the Ohio Turnpike Commission went ahead with a public hearing explaining the reasons for increases in toll rates for the turnpike.
The commission is having three public hearings on a proposal to implement changes to the schedules of tolls, the first of which was Wednesday at the Boardman Township Administration Building.
In April, the commission adopted a resolution to authorize public notice of the hearings regarding the proposal to change the tolls starting Jan. 1, 2014, continuing on an annual basis through 2023.
"The proposed adjustments to the toll rates are necessary as the Ohio Turnpike Commission performs its role in implementing Gov. John Kasich's Ohio jobs and transportation plan," said Jerry Hruby, commission chairman, in a prepared statement before the public hearing.
If the commission approves the toll increases, the prices will go up 2.7 percent every year through 2023. The percentage is an estimation of the future inflation rate, said Richard Hodges, commission executive director.
The proposed rates for a full-length trip along the turnpike in a class 1 vehicle — low two-axle vehicles and motorcycles — will go from the current rate of $16.50 up to $17 in 2014 and will increase until 2023, when the cost will be $21.50, according to numbers presented by Marty Seekely, commission chief financial officer and comptroller.
But those who travel 30 miles or less and use the E-ZPass payment method will see their rates — while already slightly less than non- E-ZPass payments — frozen over the next 10 years.
Joe Balog, vice chairman of the commission, said the freeze ensures that a person who uses the turnpike daily to go to work and return home is not penalized.
The commission will issue $1.5 billion in turnpike revenue bonds over the next "several years." Hruby said the bond proceeds will be used to fund infrastructure projects, including an initial $70 million that will "accelerate the commission's mainline pavement reconstruction program."
In order to go ahead with the plan, the commission decided turnpike tolls needed to be raised to pay for increased operating costs and debt-service payments over the next 10 years, Hruby added.
The other public hearings will be Monday at the municipal building in Maumee and May 20 at the Ohio Turnpike Administration Building in Berea.
Are the turnpike financials available online for review? That will allow the public to figure out for themselves the rationale and justification for the rate increases.
123. If you dont care for a few more minutes of travel time, look at the map and consider taking US30. 76, to 71, to 30. 30 is a good road, relatively new, no traffic. Bypass the Indiana TP also which is crappy. Take it to I-65, go north a few miles and hit I-80.
$30 helps out with the gas....
Since there was low turnout, they will raise the rates. What a bunch of BULLSH>> of an excuse. Worse then the excuse is some folks buy into kasich crap.

Anastasia C. Ayala has been named chief executive officer of Nude Skincare.
This story first appeared in the March 26, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The appointment, which a spokeswoman for LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton confirmed on Monday, is effective immediately. Ayala will report to Jean-André Rougeot, chief executive officer of Benefit Cosmetics. Ayala replaces Anna Ghee in the role; Ghee has left the company.
Most recently, Ayala was president and chief executive officer of Pure Aesthetics — Pure Wellness, an integrative skin-care, nutrition and wellness center she opened in Bel Air, Calif., in 2006. She continues to own the business.
Ayala's past roles have included serving as senior vice president of global fragrances for Coty Beauty and senior vice president for Global Team Rimmel and Cutex Europe at Coty, based in London. She began her career as international marketing director of the Latin American and Caribbean divisions of Revlon.
Founders Bryan Meehan and Ali Hewson continue to be deeply involved with Nude, which is built on a natural with high-tech efficacy positioning. LVMH had acquired a 70 percent stake in Nude in Feb. 2011, with the brand's shareholders holding the remaining 30 percent; that equation remains unchanged.
"If you want to make a brand global, the investment is huge," Meehan said in 2011. "If you can have an ally with a company like LVMH, it's just a huge door- opener for us." As Meehan and Hewson said in 2011, the pairing with LVMH is allowing Nude to expand globally.

Two seemingly unrelated events caught my attention this past Tuesday, April 22nd.
The first was the news that , once again, the words "under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance are under attack, this time from a "devout" atheist family in New Jersey. Their devotion to the cause of atheism involves evangelizing the removal of mention of God in the school where their child (as well as many potentially non-atheist children) say the pledge each morning.
Of course, with a bunch of kids saying it at the same time, nobody would notice if one child kept their mouth shut during the "under God" part, or even for the entire thing. I remember when I was in school, there would be kids who didn't know it and kinda mumbled the words, while others would just stand there not saying any of the words, in a fit of "teenage rebellion". Why this needs to be a court case is beyond me, but that is the state of our overly-litigious nation today: abuse of the justice system to punish the slightest "offense", in the name of liberty, freedom, or "social justice".
Well, this leads me to the second event of the day that caught my attention.
At dinner, I asked my eldest daughter what she did in school that day, and she said, "we had to write a letter."
After catching an odd, almost-wincing look from my wife, I continued, "who did you write the letter to?" (I know it's not proper grammar - so sue me!)
My daughter replied, "the Earth. We had to write a letter to Mother Earth for Earth Day."
As a Catholic, I recognize our responsibility to care for the planet. "Tend the garden," was our first assignment from God (cf. Gen 2:15), even before The Fall (Genesis, chapter 3). Various saints and popes throughout Church history have also called on us to care for the flora and fauna. Even Pope Francis, at his inauguration on March 19,2013 said: "let us be 'protectors' of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment".
However, many people have taken care for the planet too far, even to the point of personifying or humanizing the inanimate planet. They use active verbs, as if the planet has a mind of its own. For example: "Earth might just decide to take revenge. The wrath of the planet would be even more furious." or "It is acceptable that we need petrol, but that is something the Earth is not refusing. It only wants us to use it judiciously." Al Gore ascribes human sensations to the planet when he uses such turns of phrase as: "The planet has a fever." Such phraseology turns an object (the earth) into a subject that is an independent actor ("Earth" or "Mother Earth" or "Gaia").
As Catholics, we are monotheists and are opposed to all forms of paganism. When personification of an object crossed over to the realm of animism - ascribing a "spirit" or active power to an inanimate object or idol - then it goes from a mere literary device to idolatry, "earth-worship", or "nature-worship".
So, these two events - writing letters to Mother Earth in school while others are suing school districts to prevent the proselytizing of a religious belief with which they do not agree or which offends them - got me to thinking. Are there any enterprising, clever lawyers out there that are willing to sue school districts and other government agencies that promote the religious worship of the Earth? Is anyone willing to file a lawsuit against Earth Day being celebrated in schools, in the name of separation of "Earth church" and state? Are my 1st Amendment rights as a Christian being infringed upon by the sacraments and high holy day of Gaia worship being taught to my children and promoted with my property tax dollars?
Unfortunately, I fear such a lawsuit would get thrown out of court, based on the evidence of my own Church's over-emphasis on the environment, particularly around Earth Day. For example, the April 4th E-scroll from the Diocese of Orlando has almost 20 separate "Advocacy and Justice" events and news items listed, half of which have to do with the environment. These myriad blurbs contains such titles as:
- Covenant Director on Fracking
- Loyola University Chicago Healing Earth Project
- Catholic Sisters for a Healthy Earth Produce Reflection Book
- 12 Measures to Save Energy in Your Parish
- ACTION WORKBOOK for Congregations & 2014 National Building Competition
- FROM THE COALITION (a.k.a. "Catholic Climate Covenant")
- White House, Senate, EPA, and Keystone XL
That means that environmentalism gets as much emphasis as all other "Advocacy and Justice" topics (e.g., abortion, diversity, the poor, war & peace) combined! Even the hot-button topic of immigration is in a distant second place with 3 blurbs.
If only there were a liturgical season this time of year to re-orient the Church's priorities toward proclaiming the Good News of Jesus' Resurrection and His mission for the salvation of souls...

Missouri native
Jeff Black
knew he wanted a career in music even before he hit his teens. When he was only ten years old, he persuaded his parents to buy him a guitar. In between school, and then later work,
learned to play that guitar, to write songs, and to sing. Before he started his professional career in the music business, he worked at a gas station, a car wash, a warehouse, and even in a club as a bouncer. In his early twenties,
began performing at Blayney's, the blues club where he worked as a bouncer. His fan base slowly expanded, and he left the club and toured across the United States, stepping in as an opening act for artists like
Jerry Jeff Walker
John Prine
, and
Maria McKee
By 1996,
's career was taking wings of its own. He appeared on recordings with
Sam Bush
, and
Iris Dement
. In 1998, he joined up with drummer
Ken Coomer
, guitarist and keyboardist
Jay Bennett
, and bassist
John Stirratt
to record the album
Birmingham Road
, released on the Arista Records label. "Long Way to Go," "Ghosts in the Graveyard," "Valley," and "That's Just About Right" are some of the tracks on this first album.
returned in early 2003 with
B-Sides and Confessions, Vol. 1
. Featuring solo acoustic and sparse trio performances, it was a less rollicking record than
Birmingham Road
, but paid even closer attention to
's sweet wine-and-rawhide vocals. Originally available exclusively through

Was looking at these at the gun show yesterday. NIB $399., is this a good price?
Thats not too bad. Atlantic lists them for $329 and then you would have to pay the $20 shipping and whatever your transfer fee might be. But you would not be paying sales tax so it could end up cheaper this way if that is applicable to you. Of course if you ask, Atlantic often gives a small discount on some guns for various forum memberships.
Actually when I got there I found out I misquoted the price on them. Actual price was $299. Wish I would have had the money available, would have gotten it in both 7.62 and .223. Settled on the 7.62 for now. $316. including tax.
archer, the rifle is reportedly good to go and a good buy. the only problem is that the mags are expensive to the tune of 40 bucks a piece.
Everything you could ever want to know about how to turn your Saiga into the great piece of machinery it could always be.
Saiga Conversion
Saiga rifles are pretty much the Russian AK47s that people keep searching for at gunshows. If I remember correctly they are even made in the same factory.
Just for an economics standpoint the conversion is almost mandatory just to cover the cost of spare magazines. Just keep compliant with federal laws, despite their stupidity.
Low 300 is a good price. I been wanting another one or two....before the prices go too high.
I have been very pleased with mine.
I was able to pick up a Promag 20 round magazine for under $20. at the show. Will probably keep an eye out for some more Saiga mags at a decent price.
This place has mags. Don't know if they are the best price or not.

Cars covered in Sahara dust
Drivers across Devon and Cornwall were left slightly confused after finding a thin coating of red dust on their cars.
Thanks to an odd weather pattern, small specks of sand have been picked up from the Sahara desert and made their way north through Europe.
Experts say a sandstorm over Algeria last week saw the sand launched high into the atmosphere.
It mixed with rain clouds and came down in light rain showers leaving cars coated in a thin grime.
Region's "struggling economy" means lowest prices for used cars
Come to the South West - it's the cheapest place to buy a used car
The South West is the cheapest place to buy a second-hand car in the country. While buyers in the region are now paying an average of only £6,951 for a second-hand car, those in north east England are having to fork out as much as £10,805.
Used car prices are now at their lowest for 15 months. The average price for a used car is now £8,540 - the lowest figure since September 2011.
Prices of second-hand vehicles dipped by an average of 1.71% between November and December last year.
As motorists face rising prices in insurance and fuel, it certainly pays motorists to shop around to get the best used-car deal - which will probably be in the South West.

Danity Kane has broken up yet again. According to MTV, the girl group originally put together by Diddy, got into a fight that turned physical and they have decided that they can no longer be together. This, of course, isn't the first time that the ladies went their separate ways. However, fans were thrilled when they decided to give things another go last year.
However, the group dropped member D. Woods, and then seemingly lost Aundrea Fimbres, becoming a threesome that consisted of Aubrey O'Day, Dawn Richards, and Shannon Bex. The three women toured various venues in the U.S. this year, and even released some new music... but the other day, something went terribly wrong.
The Danity Kane Twitter page posted a link that explained exactly what happened from the perspectives of Aubrey and Shannon. Apparently Dawn punched Aubrey in the back of the head.
"During a recent group meeting, a business conversation took a turn for the worst when my group member punched me in the back of my head while I was speaking to another associate. To be clear, she was not physically engaged or threatened prior to her attack on me. This is the same information I provided to the police, and witnesses also corroborated this account of the incident. I cannot condone or excuse any form of physical violence, particularly at the hands of someone I considered family. Disagreements happen. But a war of words and ideas should never end in physical aggression."
Danity Kane has officially broken up, and there doesn't look like there is any hope for these women to reconnect in the future.

Farmerama Hack
Farmerama is a farming simulator by Bigpoint where players can grow and harvest crops and raise animals. Through a variety of chores and delivery orders, players level up and gain access to more advanced crops and more rare animals. As of July 2011, there are over 30 million registered users of the game, available in over 30 different languages. Get farmerama hack. Each player begins with a simple farm which can be expanded upon and customized depending on where a player chooses to place their decorations, animal pens, crops, etc. There is also a City that players can visit where they can purchase seeds, expand their buildings, sell goods in the Market and send gifts to neighbors. When the land is properly prepared, seeds can be planted. After a time (different to each specific crop), the seeds will mature and sprout into a crop that can be harvested for experience points and saved for use in delivery orders. This growing process can be sped up by using water, manure or supergrow on the land before the crop is fully grown. If an animal pen is built on the land, animals can be raised and given food and water until they reach maturity. Once they are fully grown, they can be used for delivery orders or offered for sale at the Farmers Market. Experience points are also gained from raising animals. More info on farmerama hack below.

Hope for a Better World!
The Small Communities Solution
by Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters)
I am amazed by this book. I find here for the first time a thesis, acceptable because supported by practical wisdom, on how to create a better life on earth. For those who dream of seeing true peace on earth someday, Hope for a Better World! offers a convincing blueprint. In a progressive series of deeply insightful analyses, Swami Kriyananda examines why certain societies of the past failed, and how others in future might succeed. His reflections are the most persuasive I've ever encountered.
In classes that I teach at the University of Hawaii and elsewhere, I have been surprised at how many students nowadays express frustration at the absence of flexibility in their lives. They feel locked into their cultural heritage. In this respect, Honolulu is, itself, a laboratory, for in this city people from many traditions, both Eastern and Western, live together, trying to adapt to, and even evolve, a new society. Those who once came here from many countries felt a need to weave about themselves a sort of mental cocoon. That very cultural isolation now often seems artificial to their descendants, who want to spread their wings like the butterfly emerging from its cocoon, and to soar in a new reality. Naturally, they are also somewhat fearful concerning their new directions. This book may offer them the clarity they've been seeking. I now feel that I, too, have practical answers to give them. I recommend Hope for a Better World! unreservedly. It shows how to draw the best from every culture, and to unite those "bests" in a new future.
This book is not revolutionary. It doesn't reject past wisdom. It is even-handed, intelligent, and respectful of the genius every culture possesses. At the same time, it repeatedly asks a very simple, indeed obvious, question: "Does it work?" It asks also, How? and, Why?
The author has taken upon himself the awesome task of creating places where his ideas could be tested and refined. Increasing numbershundreds, nowreside in those communities. They are developing a pattern of living that is above all, in a human sense, realistic. His book is grounded in more than one discipline: scientific, philosophical, and the humanities. He has resolved a major problem that faces anyone who would build communities: how to enable people to live together happily while at the same time challenging and inspiring them to develop their fullest potentials.
To my mind, this last feature, inspiration, is one thing that makes this book so special. Apart from the clear way it addresses real needs, Kriyananda inspires. He actually infuses this quality into his style of writing. His ability to affect the reader's consciousness, and not only to persuade us with clear reasoning, is to my mind an amazing feature of this book.
Among my students, what I've noticed is their increasing sense that business skills need to be balanced with spiritual values. Spirituality, Kriyananda insists, means more than adhering to the religious duties prescribed by various traditions. It means striving toward joyful personal transformation. And it means also sharing one's deeper aspirations with others. Spirituality is not a question of converting anyone to anything. True personal fulfillment requires us to feel concerned for others, and to reject the modern-day emphasis on competition.
These are simple conceptsindeed, they seem self-evident. I've often wondered, since reading this work, why they haven't been proposed with such clarity before. Surely they resonate with the way all of us think during moments of calmness.
The communities Kriyananda has established successfully have been an acid test for his ideas. Hope for a Better World! suggests that a shining future indeed awaits mankind. I consider this book to be a must read for everyone. It will be especially helpful for those who have been struggling to cope with the aftermath of 9/11. And it will help all who sincerely want to improve the quality of life on this planet.

Dozens of dead whitetail deer began being discovered in mid September, mainly around areas on the Clark Fork River outside of Missoula, MT. Wildlife biologists found this very disturbing, of course, and immediately sent samples to be tested for cause of death.
Those results were returned this week to confirm that a deadly virus called epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, transmitted by tiny gnats was responsible for the deaths of nearly 400 hundred deer in the area. When the gnats bite, the deer begin to hemorrhage and after the 6 day incubation period, the animal will typically die within a day or two, often near a water source.
Although experts say that this type of outbreak is not out of the ordinary in other areas, it is very unusual for the Missoula area. In fact it is the first documented case of epizootic hemorrhage disease west of the Continental Divide in Montana.
The breeding grounds for these gnats are in moist dirt and muddy areas. Some concerned community members think that this unusual occurrence for the Missoula area may be due to the closure of a local business that maintained holding ponds in the general vicinity of where many of the deer were found dead. They say with much of the ponds drying out, it left a large area of moist dirt and muddy areas. Perhaps leaving a perfect environment for these gnats to breed in.
Montana, Fish and Wildlife experts say that even though the death toll numbers are shocking to the general public, the environmental impact should not be affected too dramatically.
Hunters and hunting guides I have spoken to tell a different story however. They say that finding out that nearly 400 deer have suddenly lost their life to EHD this fall, will not fair well for this years bow and riffle season. Hunting is not just a sport in this neck of the woods. Many families depend on the meat to feed their families for the year. Obviously the impact of the EHD breakout has yet to be determined for these folks.
Nonetheless, as sad as it is for the deer and perhaps the hunters, Wildlife Veterinarian, Jennifer Ramsey does assure all those concerned that this virus is not transmissible to other animals, and more importantly to humans.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Twitter and other social media which provide real-time data could be used to identify and target potential outbreaks of HIV, according to a new study from UCLA.
Researchers gathered 550 million tweets over a six and a half month period, and used an algorithm to identify tweets about potentially risky sexual behaviors or drug use, two behaviors linked with the transmission of infectious diseases. The locations of the tweets were then plotted on a map, and compared to geographic data of HIV cases. They found a significant relationship between the locations of the tweets and the counties with high numbers of HIV cases.
"[T]his is the first [study] to suggest that Twitter can be used to predict people's health-related behaviors and as a method for monitoring HIV risk behaviors and drug use," study researcher Sean Young, assistant professor of family medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and co-director of the Center for Digital Behavior at UCLA, was quoted as saying.

When describing his latest album, Free State Serenade, Chuck Mead is pretty blunt when it comes to a collection that includes odes to Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, Quantrill's Raid, and the tragic murder of schoolmate Ivy Honeycutt.
"There are some high points, but it's not all roses," said Mead, who revisits the sometimes sordid past of his home state of Kansas over 12 tracks that represent some of his strongest work yet.
"When you're gone from a place for a certain amount of time, and it's been over 20 years since I lived back there, you get a little perspective on the years," he said. "It's all part of getting older. It felt like it was time to tell that story and put a whole bunch of little stories into a larger thing that was real personal."
And Mead doesn't shy away from the dark side of life in the state, with his tales of true crime as fascinating to hear as they were to read about years ago.
"When it comes down to it, it happens to real people," said Mead of the world's fascination with the genre. "It may seem like movie or a news story or just something that you read in a magazine that's a terrible thing that happened, but it happens to real people and I think that's why people latch on to it, because there but for the grace of God go I. When you've been involved in something like that, it's real people; it's not just the news."
The kidnapping and murder of 11-year-old Ivy Honeycutt in 1971 hit particularly close to home for Mead, as he and Ivy attended the same school.
"I was in fifth grade and I went to this little country school outside of Lawrence called Valley Grade School and Ivy Honeycutt was a year older than me," said Mead, who revisited the story in the song "Little Ivy." "She was kidnapped and raped and murdered by her cousin over a weekend, and it was pretty traumatic. There were no such thing as grief counselors back then, and so the principal just came in and said 'this is a terrible thing that happened, and be nice to her little brother and sister.' That kind of sticks with you. And finally, I wrote the song about it."
The bluesy, country tune is a fitting tribute to Ivy, yet even songs that contain topics not directly including Mead are just as compelling, a tribute to his storytelling as well as some solid research over the years.
"Certain details of Quantrill's Raid on my hometown have always been with me since I was a kid because you learn that where we come from," he said. "It's history. Luckily, I grew up in a time when public schools took good field trips and there was enough cool stuff right around where I was from to make me interested in where we all came from. Plus it's just a cool story, and I just took a little part of a bigger controversy that was "Bleeding Kansas," and it was just that incident. With the "Evil Wind" song, that was always inside me, and ever since I saw the In Cold Blood movie when I was kid, and of course later on I read the book, it really was quite terrifying to me when I was little, and that was always inside me. Then I might have seen it televised again and I'm like yeah. I tried to figure out how to write that story and include a lot of the details. But it's always something you hear about again."
Recorded in Nashville for his new label, Plowboy Records, Free State Serenade gives us a glimpse back to a time when storytelling was a lot more prevalent then it is now, but Mead insists that in Nashville, the art is still alive and well.
"I think there are tons of people still doing it, especially in Nashville," he said. "That's why I went there, to latch on to these really great songwriters that really know what they're doing, both the nuts and bolts of it and where they're coming from psychologically. It's in the air down there in Nashville, and maybe that's why I had to move down there to write this about my home. That's what roots music, country music, blues music is all about – telling a story - and so that's what I was trying to do with all these."
Mission accomplished, but even more important than having 12 more Chuck Mead songs to listen to, it's comforting to know that he's still finding new ways to keep things fresh. Even his time on the road isn't the same as it used to be.
"You get older, it changes a little bit," he laughs. "You start thinking about the cleanest restrooms and the most comfortable lodging that has the most cable TV instead of all the chicks and drugs and stuff."

Kindergarten Individual Development Survey (KIDS)
Advisory Committee
The Illinois State Board of Education has established an Advisory Committee comprised of early childhood experts, in order to help with the development of a compressive kindergarten readiness assessment tool. With help from this committee the Kindergarten Individual Development Survey (KIDS) has been developed as a way to capture statewide data on the school readiness of Illinois' kindergarteners.
The KIDS advisory committee is comprised of ISBE administrators, early childhood and early elementary teachers and administrators, assessment and data experts, and other stakeholders. This committee continues to guide ISBE as it adapts and aligns the KIDS assessment tool; providing research and advice on communications planning, professional development training, and financial resource needs. The committee offers expertise on how to best build a high quality data system that will support and improve children's learning in Illinois.
ISBE has selected the WestEd Center for Child and Family Studies (CCFS) as the contractor to provide services related to the development and administration of the Illinois Kindergarten Individual Development Survey (KIDS). WestEd subcontracts with the Berkley Evaluation and Assessment Research Center, Graduate School of Education, University of California Berkeley (BEAR Center), which work in collaboration with ISBE to implement KIDS across the state.
KIDS is envisioned as a comprehensive process designed to provide information about children's competencies across developmental domains over time and to inform whether Illinois' kindergarteners have the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in school. WestEd has developed KIDS to align with the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards, the Illinois Learning Standards for Kindergarten, the Social and Emotional Learning Standards, and the New Illinois Learning Standards Incorporating the Common Core for English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Doc Dynasty: Great Documentaries Past and Present
What film won the first Oscar for Best Documentary? Which documentary author also pioneered film criticism? Do color photographs of the Great Depression exist? Where is the largest collection of American documentary photos and films housed?
The 1930s kicked off a foundational period in American documentary media. Artists from various backgrounds employed their technical skills and creativity to represent the social conditions they witnessed in communities around them. Since that time, presenting documentary work has expanded from books, magazines, dance, drama, radio and films to reality television and YouTube videos. Although documentary work varies in its mode of presentation, its content consistently tells the story of socially or individually contentious issues. Beginning with the Depression era and moving to new media examples, this course will analyze the social, generic and aesthetic facets of specific works as well as debate the relationship between documentary and the ideas of truth and reality. Doc Dynasty will also help deepen your library-based research skills through an investigation of a social or individual conflict raised by the assigned documentaries, and over the duration of the semester you will collaborate in small groups and develop basic productions skills in order to create a short documentary.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is easily the most indispensible player on the team's roster.
But trying to find the most essential player on the other side of the ball may not be so easy. The Saints are coming off a season in which the defense yielded the most yards in NFL history, so no player truly shined.
However, this offseason the Saints have tried to revamp their defense, bringing in a new defensive coordinator (Rob Ryan), switching to a 3-4 scheme and signing free agents Keenan Lewis and Victor Butler and drafting Kenny Vaccaro.
Those new players will be asked to mix with holdovers like Curtis Lofton, Jabari Greer, Jonathan Vilma, Cameron Jordan, Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins.
But the question remains: Who is the most indispensable defensive player on the Saints' roster?
Let us know what you think. Leave your comments below.

Oats (ground or oatmeal) may seem like a great treat for your dog, but this type of food should be given sparingly. The reason for this is simple- oat is a filler, more or less, and while fibrous and containing protein, does not contain enough nutrients for a dog to use as a stand-alone product.
That being said, it is an excellent form of fiber and can prove to be a diuretic as well. So, this means if you have a dog who is prone to bed-wetting, oats may not be a favored form of treat. If your dog is sensitive to wheat and rice, however, oats, are OK.
Listen to your dog's response to being fed oats (such as bed-wetting, gas, vomiting, or loose stools) to see if oats are the right type of substance to give your dog. Replacements for oat include flaxseed, sweet potato, or even barley if your dog has a sensitive tummy. Talk to your vet first before moving forward.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
by James Thurber
Walter Mitty
Character Analysis
In real life, Walter Mitty isn't anything special. He gets bossed around by his wife a lot. He can't do simple mechanical things. He's forgetful. He's not a great driver, and people always seem to be either yelling or laughing at him for one blunder or another. To compensate for his failings in the real world, Mitty creates an entire "secret life" for himself: a series of fantasies in which he is a powerful, decisive man admired by those around him – everything he is not in reality.
Author James Thurber does a beautiful job of closely interweaving Mitty's fantasies with his real life. It's not simply a matter of jumping back and forth from reality to imagination; each fantasy is spurred by some specific sound or word or event in the real world. The "pocketa-pocketa" sound that Mitty hears in several fantasies is likely the sound of his running car driving along the road. When Mitty passes a hospital, this sparks his surgeon fantasy. When a newsboy shouts about the Waterbury Trial, Walter imagines himself in a courtroom. He is wearing a sling in this fantasy, just as he thinks of wearing a sling the next time he goes to a garage. The shout "You miserable cur!" is what reminds Mitty of the puppy biscuits he forgot (10). The Liberty magazine with pictures of air bombers sends him into a fantasy military dugout.
These physical or tangible connections between fantasy and dream remind us to look for deeper, emotional connections between them. In Mitty's first fantasy, for example, he is piloting a "naval hydroplane" through a storm while those around him look on in awe and admiration. This is interrupted by Mrs. Mitty's plea for him to slow down. Here Mitty fantasizes about the control that he's missing in his marriage. Mitty is inept at mechanical tasks, so he dreams of being a surgeon – a dexterous genius. As he sits passively waiting for his wife in the hotel lobby, he dreams he is a man of action taking matters into his own hands.
Now, there are two different ways you can look at Walter Mitty and these fantasies, and it depends on how you choose to interpret the entire story. The first, and probably more straightforward approach, is to see Mitty as a loveable guy who quite harmlessly uses fantasy to get through what seems to be a pretty boring day of errands with his wife. You could argue that Thurber, through his use of free indirect style (see "Narrator Point of View"), wants his readers to take Mitty's side. You could argue that this story is a testament to the human ability to enjoy and make good of even the dullest, most banal of events.
The other way of seeing Walter Mitty (and, consequently, the story of "Walter Mitty" as a whole) involves identifying some darker themes in Thurber's work. This interpretation is probably sparked by the fact that Mitty's final fantasy is of a firing squad, which is a bit ominous. Is Mitty just endlessly persecuted by his more logically-minded foes in the real world? Are his fantasies defeated by reality? Or does he remain, as Thurber writes, Walter Mitty the Undefeated?

Jean-Loup Chretien arrived at Mir aboard Soyuz TM-7 together with Expedition EO-4 crew members Alexander Volkov and Sergei Krikalyov. The initial orbit of Soyuz TM-7 was 194 X 235 km. Thereafter the spacecraft maneuvered to a rendezvous orbit of 256 X 291 km before docking with Mir in 337 X 369 km at 17:16 GMT 28 November. Chretien's Aragatz mission was a record duration for a non-Soviet aboard one of their space stations and featured the first French spacewalk. Chretien returned together with the EO-3 crew of Manarov and and Titov aboard Soyuz TM-6. They undocked at 03:33 GMT 21 December 1989, but revised software installed as a result of the Soyuz TM-5 abort overloaded the spacecraft's computer. The landing planned for 06:48 was aborted. A backup software program was usedand the Soyuz orbital module was retained through retrofire. The crew finally landed safely on December 21, 1988 09:57 GMT, 180 km SE Dzhezkazgan.
Narrative (adapted from D S F Portree's Mir Hardware Heritage, NASA RP-1357, 1995)
Soyuz-TM 7 arrived at Mir on November 28, 1988 on the Franco-Soviet Aragatz mission with French cosmonaut Jean-Loup Chretien (on his second mission to a Soviet space station) and Soviet cosmonauts Alexander Volkov and Sergei Krikalyov. This increased Mir's population to six. According to Krikalev, this was the 'worst-case scenario' as far as crowding on the station was concerned. Not only were there more cosmonauts than usual aboard Mir; the station was also full of equipment and life support supplies delivered by Progress freighters for the joint Franco-Soviet mission. The crowding was exacerbated because there was no docking port free for a Progress freighter. Therefore, the crew could not use a Progress as a 'pantry' or 'storage room' for the station. The large joint experiment manifest—mostly medical and technology experiments chosen to support the French-led European Space Agency Hermes shuttle project—strained Mir's electricity supply. The total mass of the experiments was 580 kg.
Preparations for the first EVA involving a non-Soviet/non-U.S. space traveller forced the cosmonauts to cut short a TV meeting with diplomats from 47 countries on December 8. On December 9 Chretien and Volkov depressurised the multiport docking adapter and clambered outside Mir. Chretien was first out. He installed handrails, then attached the 15.5 kg Enchantillons experiment rack to the handrails by springs and hooks. He also attached electrical wires leading from the rack to Mir's power supply. Enchantillons carried five technological experiments with applications to the Hermes shuttle program. Volkov and Chretien then assembled the 240-kg ERA experiment. They attached a mount to handrails on the frustum linking the multiport docking unit to the small-diameter portion of the work compartment. After resolving problems with cables linking ERA to a control panel inside Mir, they attached the folded ERA structure to a support arm on the platform. The structure was designed to unfold to form a flat six-sided structure 1 m deep by 3.8 m across. From inside Mir, Krikalyov commanded the structure to unfold, but to no avail. Volkov then kicked ERA, causing it to unfold properly. According to Krikalyov, taking the ERA outside helped relieve the crowding problems. The EVA lasted 5 hr and 57 min.
After the EVA, Titov and Manarov showed Krikalyov, and Volkov the peculiarities of living and working on Mir. On December 15, their 359th day in space, Titov and Manarov officially beat Romanenko's 326-day single-flight endurance record by the required 10%. On December 19, Soyuz TM-6 was powered up to prepare it for for descent.
Manarov, Titov, and Chretien boarded Soyuz TM-6 and undocked at 03:33 GMT 21 December 1989, but revised software installed as a result of the Soyuz TM-5 abort overloaded the spacecraft's computer. The landing planned for 06:48 was aborted. A backup software program was used and the Soyuz orbital module was retained through retrofire. The crew finally landed safely on December 21, 1988 09:57 GMT, under low clouds, in sub-freezing temperatures, 180 km SE Dzhezkazgan.

We never could have predicted the ideals of YOLO and needlepointing would ever overlap, but Taylor Swift is nothing if not a boundary buster.
In the new Ed Sheeran documentary "9 Days And Nights Of Ed Sheeran"—which premieres tonight on MTV—the "Lego House" singer takes a moment to salute his famous friendship with Swift. Specifically, he hangs a framed Drake-themed needlepoint his blonde bestie made just for him.
Based on the evidence, we wouldn't necessarily hire her to teach AP Needlepoint, but her work is nothing short of adorable. We'd be surprised if Drake himself hasn't requested a copy.

Monthly Archives: October 2011
LSU-Western Kentucky set for 6 p.m. on ESPNU
There will be one last night football game in Tiger Stadium after all.
The SEC announced Monday morning that ESPNU will televise LSU's next home game, Nov. 12 against Western Kentucky.
Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. This will also be LSU's homecoming game.
Most of the rest of the SEC TV schedule for Nov. 12 is up in the air, as CBS has exercised its six-day option on four games: Alabama at Mississippi State, Tennessee at Arkansas, Auburn at Georgia and Florida at South Carolina.
The only other two games definitely set for TV are Kentucky at Vanderbilt (11:21 a.m., SEC Network) and Louisiana Tech at Ole Miss (6:30 p.m., CSS).
LSU-Bama notes: Matchup set, Game Day and someone's birthday
The polls have all confirmed what college football fans have been waiting to see for weeks now: LSU and Alabama will be an undisputed 1 vs. 2 matchup Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa (7 p.m., CBS).
LSU and Alabama are a consensus 1-2 in the BCS standings, its two major human components (the USA Today coaches' and Harris Interactive polls) and The Associated Press Top 25.
The only dissenting votes are from the computer rankings that comprise one-third of the BCS formula. LSU and Alabama are tied for second in computer averages behind Oklahoma State, which is No. 3 in the BCS.
Media notes
ESPN will be bringing its "College Game Day" program to Tuscaloosa on Saturday, along with its "College Game Day" show on ESPN Radio.
CBSSports.com has set up a running blog dedicated to the LSU-Alabama game. To see it, click here.
Rob Landry from LSU's Daily Reveille has proposed an intriguing notion: open up Tiger Stadium to fans who want to gather there to watch the LSU-Alabama game. Landry doesn't say how they would wach – setting up seating and a huge screen on the field is impractical because LSU has a Nov. 12 home game with Western Kentucky – and there's a serious chance it isn't possible. What else could you do, have everyone look up to the big screen in the south end zone? We have heard no word about this idea from LSU officials, but if you want to send Joe Alleva a link to Landry's column, click here.
Speaking of the Western Kentucky game, an announcement on TV plans and kickoff time for that tilt is expected Monday. Check back with Tiger Tracks or follow me on Twitter, were we'll have the information as soon as it comes out. The game is expected to be televised by one of the ESPN networks and will be a night/evening contest.
The Big 6-0
Monday is Nick Saban's 60th birthday. He shares the Halloween birthday with former LSU basketball coach Dale Brown, who turns 76 Monday.
LSU football chat with Scott Rabalais, noon-1 p.m.
CBS' Danielson: Neither LSU nor Bama has a significant edge
As we reach T-minus nine days and counting until No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Alabama, CBS Sports college football analyst Gary Danielson sees these two teams as virtual equals.
"Looking at the matchups, there is no significant advantage at any position," said Danielson, who has called three LSU and two Alabama games. "There are plusses and minuses and strengths and weaknesses, and perhaps small opportunities that both teams can exploit, but there is no significant advantage on the field that can tilt the game."
Danielson also said he doesn't think that two weeks of constant media attention will affect the Tigers or Crimson Tide.
"Both teams are used to handling this media crush. It is not anything new for either team," he said. "They always are in the center of the media onslaught. They've dealt with it through their whole careers. Even as kids in high school who signed letters of intent with these schools, they are used to it.
"The grandness of this match-up will not have a bearing on this football game."
CBS, of course, worked a grand deal to move the game to a 7 p.m. kickoff on Nov. 5, a deal that includes already guaranteeing that it will show the 2012 LSU-Alabama game in prime time from Tiger Stadium.
Because of the uncertainty over how the SEC football schedule will look in 2012 – will the SEC just add Texas A&M or A&M AND Missouri or some other school? – no dates for conference games have yet been set.
Report: Kragthorpe to visit with Gunner Kiel
LSU coaches will be hitting the recruiting trail this weekend with the No. 1-ranked Tigers having an open date.
They will hope to take advantage of both situations with trips like the one quarterbacks coach Steve Kragthorpe will reportedly make to see one of the nation's top quarterbacks, Gunner Kiel of Columbus (Ind.) East, according to MrSEC.com and 247Sports.com.
Kragthorpe is expected to attend Kiel's game Friday when Columbus East hosts St. Leon (Ind.) East Central.
According to recruiting expert J.C. Shurburtt of 247Sports, Kiel is one of several top national prospects that LSU's impressive season has helped them make inroads with.
"I think LSU is quietly putting out feelers to a lot of the top prospects in the 2012 class given the season the Tigers are having," Shurburtt wrote.
LSU has 20 commitments for 2012 but no quarterbacks. Next season, Zach Mettenberger will be a junior while Stephen Rivers and Jerrard Randall are expected to be redshirt freshmen.
Miles, Saban talk on SEC teleconference
While LSU and Alabama football fans are free to lock in solely on the Nov. 5 showdown between the No. 1-ranked Tigers and No. 2 Crimson Tide, LSU coach Les Miles said his staff and players are afforded the opportunity to focus on a variety of tasks during his team's only open date week of the year.
"We go through a very extensive self-evaluation. Whatever tendencies we have we'll try to break them. It becomes an issue with me and (our) coordinators," Miles said as he led off Wednesday's SEC football coaches teleconference.
"We recognize the things we might need to change. We're playing against LSU this open week more than we will play against Alabama."
Miles said the open week also includes an emphasis on recruiting, rest and rehab for his players.
While much has been made of the fact that LSU will not play an SEC night home game for the first time since 1935, CBS made the announcement Monday to move the LSU-Alabama game to a 7 p.m. kickoff.
"We look forward to playing at night," Miles said. "It's a historic venue. We're certainly comfortable playing at night."
Alabama coach Nick Saban was asked if he saw his Crimson Tide and the Tigers (both 8-0, 5-0 SEC) as being mirror images of each other.
"Not really," the former LSU coach said. "They're a little different style-wise than us, but they sort of get their results the same way."
Saban had praise for the improvement of LSU senior quarterbacks Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson.
"It seems like a long time ago since Rashad (Johnson) intercepted that pass down at LSU and returned it," said Saban, referring to a pick six Lee threw in 2008 in Bama's 27-21 overtime victory.
Lee has thrown just three interceptions since his 2008 redshirt freshman season, while Jefferson is the SEC's active leader in career total offense with 4,985 yards.
"They're both extremely good at what they're required to do relative to the players around them," Saban said.
"Their two styles really compliment each other."
Saban said Alabama's depth has been impacted by a pair of significant injuries.
Freshman offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio suffered a knee injury last Saturday against Tennessee that will require surgery. Senior linebacker Alex Watkins is out at least 2-3 weeks with a broken arm.
Miles says Mathieu, Ware, Simon expected to play vs. Alabama
LSU coach Les Miles said that the three players held out of last Saturday's game vs. Auburn – cornerbacks Tyrann Mathieu and Tharold Simon and running back Spencer Ware – returned to practice Tuesday for the first time and should play when No. 1-ranked LSU plays Nov. 5 at No. 2 Alabama.
Miles declined to say the three players were suspended because of positive drug tests as sources and numerous media reports have said.
"I don't recall that I ever suspended them to you guys, am I right?" Miles asked. "So I guess what I'm saying to you is we've operated as if this discipline would be internal, we would handle it in that way and these guys have returned to practice.
"If they continue doing the things they're doing we anticipate they will play."
Miles declined to speculate where on the depth chart the players would fall upon their return. Mathieu and Ware have been every game starters.
Mathieu was one of the stars of the first half of the college football season and emerged as a dark horse Heisman Trophy candidate. The sophomore from New Orleans has forced four fumble recoveries and recovered three – returning two for touchdowns – with two interceptions, 42 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Ware, a sophomore from Cincinnati, is LSU's leading rusher with 512 yards and six touchdowns on 128 carries. Simon, a sophomore from Eunice, has 29 tackles, one interception and a team-high eight pass deflections.
Miles also said center P.J. Lonergan, held out of the Auburn game because of an injury, is practicing and should be able to play against Alabama. Defensive end Ken Adams also missed the Auburn game and worked out on the side Tuesday, but Miles said he anticipates that Adams will improve quickly and will soon be full speed.
Kickoff has been moved to 7 p.m. for a prime-time telecast on CBS.
LSU football chat with Les East, 3-4 p.m.
LSU-Alabama set for 7 p.m.
CBS has announced that the LSU-Alabama showdown will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The matchup will feature LSU, ranked No. 1 by The Associated Press and standing first in the BCS standings, against Alabama, ranked No. 2 by the AP and standing second in the BCS standings.

Data Model for Insurance and eClaims
Subject: eClaims Data Modeling
Question: Hello,
I chance upon your website.
I am gladful with your expertise and your willingness to help.
Doing data modeling was something I did more than 10 yrs back...thus I am not so experience in it.
Hope you can help.
I am currently stuck and is very reluctant to move my Current company eClaims system to a regional one,
revamping the data model with more than 100+ tables in Oracle.
Currently only 2 countries are using the Claim system, we intend to launch it to 7000 staff all over the world.
There are 18 Claims type altogether, some data fields/claim type can do data mapping, some may not.
Claims are like local transport claim, travel expenditure claim, child birth, handphone subsidy, marriage claim,
meal subsidy for Overtime, etc.
The current system has got at least 2 to 3 transaction tables for each Claim type, so there are more than 100+
altogether for this way of duplicating way of modelling.
I find this too messy.
I am tempted to group a few claim types together with similar claim details for design on 1 shared table with
Claim type and code, and claimant ID, Date as keys.
However, while this will reduce the numbers of tables, there are other problems.
If the claims details table grew to big (there is no archiving), the searching on one single claim details table
will be TOO SLOW as TABLE SIZE grows too huge.
Especially for claims such as Transport, handphone subsidy and Meal subsidy.
What is your opinions with a modeling system like eClaims.
With process parameters setting tables, master details table, claim headers table, there are more than 100 tables in all.
Do you think 1 claim type with 1 set of tables is a good data modeling approach like the current system? Or what other
approaches can you help with a kickstart to help link me too in your website? Appreciate for your help.
