Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1996 Fall Tour."
Set I the lights went down and the strains of My Friend floated up to us and we were off. Solid and well played and then right into Rift. A raucous version again straight ahead and it kept everyone moving. Up next was Free. I dig this tune dark subject matter around 4:45 or so it starts to go out there a bit. No crazy Type II but a nice jammed out version. A quick break in the action and then that circus intro could only mean one thing Esther was up! A flawless version in my humble opinion Esther never goes way out there in the jam department, but its still one of those songs that makes up the nucleus of Phish Out of Esther and into Llama. Llama was well played and fun for all. This is when I notice my friends they looked scared as shit and were standing stock still Something was up with their trip and I was damn glad that I was not on it. Besides Gumbo was up and it was (and still is) one of my favs. Again a solid version nothing crazy out there. Out of the Gumbo and into Disease this rocked out pretty good not Fall 97 good, it stayed within the confines of Type I, but full of heady jamming. There was a good Page part at 8:22. The end did seem a bit rushed though Out of Disease and into Caspian, which worked other than Esther, it was the only slow down for the first set. A rocking Frankenstein the place went nuts (except my friends) and that ended set one.
Set break my friends seemed to relax a bit, but they were still on a different wave length than most of the other folks in the building Not exactly 15 minutes, but before long the boys took the stage and so started the second set.
Set II its not on the recording that I pulled off of the spreadsheet, but Im fairly certain there was an audience chess move in there. A Floyd tease and then into Bag good stuff here and it got the second set off to a great start. Everyone was getting down then Sparkle kept us all moving. Sparkle into Slave a very solid version indeed well worth the price of admission alone and another song that only Phish could do. Next was Bouncing a nice quick, tight version. Split Open was very good weirdness ensues at around the 10:12 mark and then is reeled back in pretty quick Fluff was in the next slot Fluff came to New York the only Fluff Ive ever seen again, another well executed song in Set II. Swept Away and its companion Steep brought us down for a few minutes of rest and then some screaming at the end woke us all up and the melodic note of Antelope came gently out of said screaming. At the 5:20 mark they go out there a bit and I thought for sure that would be the end of the set, but they came back out for some acapella magic HMB and then they made their way off stage .for a few minutes and then for the first encore Fee with megaphone!! Despite a lyric flub it was fun to hear/witness. After Fee into a quick, ripping Rocky Top and it was over A solid show all around not much in the way for you lovers of Type II, but nonetheless a good show.
Back into the cold night we made our back down Main Street. Somehow we ended up at a TGIFs (or some sort of chain place like it) not a good place for the freaked out, but after a few beers everyone seemed to come down a bit and eventually we trekked back out into the cold, found a cab, stuffed all five of us in and then made our way back to the apartment
Set II kicked off with a couple high energy crowd pleasers that I imagine had me feeling a bit jaded, but they were warm-ups for a beautiful rendition of Slave that had us on our knees. Again, they quickly moved to another sing-a-long, but dosed the kidz with a heavy Split that reminded us why we tour. Darkness enveloped the previously joyous crowd, and all was right with the world. Keeping the mindset of deranged fools spinning around the cement floor, they dropped a euphoric Fluff joined by the still fresh, and weird, Swept Away>Steep, the moving into a raging, full-throttled Antelope. This show is a keeper, and a perfect mix between the weirdness, and the crowd pleasing, as evidenced by the Fee, Rocky Top encore. Don't skip it in your research back into Phishtory.
when the boys lead off with it and lay into it like this it is downright scary. the crowd recognized this lol
awesome opener followed by a blistering rift
Free and esther is a nice pair. High energy surprisingly
Gumbo!! always awesome to hear.
This is a classic Down With Disease. Straight PHISH rock glory funk!! When Trey is at his best is when he shows that he can destroy a theme anywhichway riding the beat and allowing his friends to influence the theme he bounces off our ears. Mike deserves a lot of credit here for laying t=down the groundwork for a breathtaking jam that never hints of searching./ They were pumped!! a great glimpse into a great two week start of the fall tour.
Nice flog tease before A crowd fav AC/DC kicked off an anticipated second set
Solid AC/DC into sparkle. Very nice sign.in light of the sort of lethargic europe toru in the summer these earl fall shows leading unto the Garden the chicago on halloween are a blast to listen to. this fun pairing in Slave!
nothing earth shattering except the early placement of it.
Bouncin is just continuing the old hits theme.
Very yummy SOAM goes TYPE II and interesting ending ta boot! then continuing with the great pairings they bust out FLUFFHEAD!! buff said.
always awesome. They range in the jamming at the end of course but consistently delivers. Trey flubs a lick but its in rhythm so it doesn't matter. The check it out part is always fun. by the time we hear life is just a bunds of joy you are ready to take off....some jams make you just want them to play the song all night. This is one of them. nothing particularly crazy but the chords are so beautifully major you gotta love it. I compare all fluff jams to clifford ball. this was pretty close in terms of Trey's focus.
Swept away steep are perfectly placed in between the Antelope that makes this another clifford ball referenced set. The second set 8/17/96 is probably Phish's most realized vision of a Phish set. The slave in the early part of this set made this a humdinger . This Antelope has to be otherworldly to approach 8/17/96. actually trey starts this jam off with the same theme as the clifford ball version but in a lower octave. the band lon=ves it so we can enjoy it lol! this time there are no dancers spinning above Trey's head so they focus. wow Trey takes us type II with a '92 like ferocity. Fish just lays it down with the double bass and then when they bring it back to the antelope theme is just ' lite werk'. this is what they were born to do. easy. Phenomenal. Only reason this isn't better than the clifford ball version is because that was clifford ball and there was a dancer hanging above the stage and the crowd was going bonkers and so was trey.
The crowd deservedly goes crazy on this night though.

Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< 11. Hitler and the Plans...
|13. Hitler's Participati... >
|List of abbreviations >>
12.1After the victory over France in June, 1940, the plan to push the Jews into a "reservation" (Reservat) in Poland was replaced with another project for the territorial solution of the Jewish problem: the so- called Madagascar plan.
12.2As early as 25, May Himmler had presented Hitler with a memorandum which included the following key sentence with respect to the fate of the Jews: "I hope to see that by means of the possibility of a large emigration of all Jews to Africa or to some other colony - that the concept of Jew will be fully extinguished". In the same document Himmler had still rejected "the Bolshevist methods of physical extirpation (Ausrottung) of a people because of inner conviction, as un-German and impossible".105 Hitler judged this memorandum to be "very good and correct", according to Himmler's note of 28 May. The document however was "to be held in the greatest secrecy"; Himmler was to show it to Frank at some point "in order to tell him that the Führer finds it correct".106
12.3Plans for the re-settlement of altogether four million Jews to the island off the African east coast were worked out in the German Department of the Foreign Office107 as well as in the Reich Security Head Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt).108 From the surviving records of the German Foreign Office it is clear that the Madagascar plan (like the plan of a "Jewish reservation" in Poland) was not a new variation of a solution for emigration (Auswanderungslösung), but rather that here the Jews were to play the role of hostages; the Jews under German control would be used in this way to prevent the United States from entering the war. Thus in a note from the Jewish expert of the German Department, Rademacher, it is said that109 under a German "police governor" (Polizeigouverneur) "the Jews" should be set up as security under German control for the future good behaviour of their racial associates in America"; and in another note, the same expert wrote that the Security Police was "experienced with carrying out appropriate punishments which had become necessary because of unfriendly activities by Jews in the USA against Germany".110 The mere fact that Madagascar lacked the basic conditions necessary for existence for four million European Jews makes it clear that the plan itself was a threat to the further existence of Jews in the area of German dominance.
12.4Hitler's extreme interest in the Madagascar plan is fully documented. Ribbentrop and Hitler sketched out the plan to the Italian Foreign Minister Ciano and Mussolini during their talks in Munich on 17 and 18 June.111 Hitler mentioned the Madagascar project on 20 June to the Commander in chief of the Navy, Raeder.112 On 12 July Frank passed on to his collaborators the following information from a conversation with Hitler which had taken place four days earlier:
Very important is also the decision of the Führer which came from a proposal of mine that there be no further transports of Jews into the Generalgouvernement. In general political terms I would like to say that it is planned to transport the entire Jewish clan from the German Reich, the Generalgouvernement and the Protectorat to an African or American colony in the shortest conceivable time span following the peace settlement. Madagascar is being considered; it would be separated from France for this purpose.113
103. 'als vorgeschobenes Glacis für uns militärische Bedeutung hat und für einen Aufmarsch ausgenutzt werden kann'. YV, 053-87, Gestapoauenstelle Mährisch-Ostrau, 21.10.39.
104. "Führung des Gebiets ... es uns ermöglichen, auch das Reichsgebiet von Juden und Polacken zu reinigen'. IMT XXVI, pp. 378f, 864-PS, protocol, 20.10.39. For the hesitations of the Military against further concentration of Jews in the area of Lublin-also the note of Krüger on 1 November, Präg/Jacobmeyer (ed.), Diensttagebuch, p. 56).
105. 'Den Begriff Jude hoffe ich, durch die Möglichkeit einer großen Auswanderung sämtlicher Juden nach Afrika oder sonst in eine Kolonie völlig auslöschen zu sehen.' 'die bolschewistische Methode der physischen Ausrottung eines Volkes aus innerer Überzeugung als ungermanisch und unmöglich'. The documdent is published in VfZ 5 (1957), pp. 194-198 (with a short introduction by Helmut Krausnick).
106. 'sehr gut und richtig', 'ganz geheim zu behandeln', 'um ihm zu sagen, daß der Führer das für richtig hielte'. Ibid., Himmler's note, 28.5.40.
107. Die Judenfrage im Friedensvertrage, 9.7.41 (PAA, Inland II g 177, printed in ADAP, Serie D, vol. 10, pp.92ff). See also Rademacher's note of 2 July 1941: "Plan zur Lösung der Judenfrage" (ibid.)

Brown County Sheriff Rich Hoffmann would like to remind people of the Brown County Ordinance regarding driving on lakes that have aeration systems.
Aeration systems cause thin ice areas that are unstable and unsafe to drive a motor vehicle on. Therefore motor vehicles, including snowmobiles, are prohibited from driving in marked areas.
The areas are marked with warning signs indicating aeration system in use and thin ice warnings.
Brown County Ordinance 1993-04 Section 7, Subd. 1 states "No person shall operate or park an ice sailboat or motor vehicle, which shall include snowmobiles and motorized ice boats, within the marked areas whenever there is ice formed and the aeration system is operation or scheduled for operation."
Section 8 of the same ordinance states that "During a period when there is ice on the lakes, no person shall enter the area marked by signs indicating thin ice."
Brown County waters included in this ordinance are Clear Lake, Lake Hanska, Sleepy Eye Lake and the Wellner/Hageman Reservoir.
People wanting to utilize these waters for winter recreation are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Brown County Ordinances, which are available on the Brown County website: www.co.brown.mn.us

Getting Better
For the first two periods, it was clear that the Senators didn't believe they belonged on the same ice surface as the Bruins.
Somehow, between the second and the third, new head coach Cory Clouston made them believe and they almost pulled off a victory against the best team in the National Hockey League.
As with most shootouts the Senators have to face, it wasn't meant to be.
But they shouldn't be hanging their heads. For the second game in a row, the Senators have begun to build something that resembles the teams of old. We are seeing hard forechecking resulting in turnovers from physical play. We're actually seeing scoring chances. And finally, a few goals.
Clouston is 0 for 2 so far but the difference in the team is striking. Even Pierre McGuire, who might be one of the most vocal critics of the Senators this year, pointed out that he was seeing a team coming together before his very eyes.
The Senators took over the game in the 3rd period and it was only an unlucky penalty by Antoine Vermette which resulted in the Bruins tying the score.
Daniel Alfredsson was credited with 7 shots on goal, easily leading both teams in that category. Nick Foligno seems to be a completely different player under Clouston. In the waning days of the Craig Hartsburg era, Foligno was basically a forgotten entity but Clouston has lit a fire under the youngster by giving him some important minutes and some good linemates.
More importantly, it was refreshing to see the players smiling again and having fun in front of a supportive crowd (at least in the 3rd). The rink was buzzing and even the stoic Russian Anton Volchenkov was seen grinning after getting a scoring chance that was just deflected over the net.
In a season rife with brutal negativity and bleakness, you can find some positives in two straight losses if it looks like there's better days ahead.
And I'd wager that's what we're seeing here in Ottawa.
Word is that the Senators theme song is back at the start of the games down at Scotiabank Place. I wasn't at the L.A. game where it was definitely played but I was wondering if anyone at the game tonight can confirm that it was played again.
If so, this is a big victory for the small but vocal group of fans who signed petitions and sent emails to the Senators insisting they bring back this great piece of tradition. To some, it was probably small peanuts and irrelevant but it's the little things that matter to the hardcore fans.
Next up - getting the Senators to bring back their classic white uniforms with the original logo. But that's for another day.
I gotta get back to Hell's Kitchen. That show is dope.
6 comments:
I was there and I'm happy to report that they used it at the beginning of the game. The "bom bom" beginning (for lack of a better term) was also used at the beginning of the second period, although they then switched into another song when the players took to the ice. It's nice to see it back at least once during the game.

Now I know why you guys give "Pierre" a pass all the time, you don't listen! You should hear so of the stuff he says! He ragged on your team for two solid periods last night until Ottawa took the lead. He is the biggest "Front Runner" in hockey broadcasting!
This morning he starts up on Chiarelli's time in Ottawa as an ASST. GM. As Mgmt. McGuire could not put a "patch" on Chiarelli's arse. Futhermore, how would he know anyway, no one tells him anything anymore! Insiders used to refer to him as the town gossip. Not anymore, now he's on the "OUTS!"

I don't know if you are posting an inside joke. I'm assuming you are.
If not, if that is a threat against one of the few bloggers that posts the truth, as a Sens fan and reader of this blog, I'm kind of offended by that.
Just let us know when you plan on carrying out your threat. I'll be sure to show up.

Serving 13 Agencies on Florida's Suncoast!
The Police Applicant Screening Service (PASS) screens, tests, and investigates applicants for law enforcement training and employment consideration for the 13 law enforcement agencies of Pinellas County. PASS is located at the St. Petersburg College Allstate Center, and although not part of the college, works in unison with the college for student application to the police academy.
PASS was created in 1975 through a legislative act initiated by the Pinellas Police Standards Council (PPSC) to provide for a centralized screening facility to advance the professional continuity of law enforcement candidates within Pinellas County. PASS was the first regional assessment center for law enforcement applicants in the state of Florida and the legislature has since expanded the services of PASS to allow screening of other public safety applicants, such as Communications Workers, Firefighters and Paramedics.
PASS is the primary point-of-contact for applicants wishing to attend the open enrollment Law Enforcement Academy or the open enrollment Corrections Academy. The Sheriff of Pinellas County or any Chief of Police within Pinellas County may also direct applicants to PASS for background screening. PASS also performs Equivalency of Training verification, Florida Inactive Officer Re-certification verification and agency requested Telecommunications background screenings.
MISSION STATEMENT: To provide an indispensable background screening process of public safety applicants for employment consideration within the Pinellas County law enforcement community.
Police Applicant Screening Service (PASS) LAW ENFORCEMENT Process
The PASS process is a unified pre-employment screening process operated by the 13 law enforcement agencies of Pinellas County, Florida. The distinct advantages of this process include:
1. A single application is available to all 13 agencies.
2. You avoid many redundant background-screening steps and visits.
3. The mix of small, medium and large agencies provides you with a variety of career opportunities.
4. Since these agencies together have over 1700 law enforcement officer positions, selection through PASS is continuous.
For a detailed description of the processing standards and steps required, please click on the icons below:
Applicant Information Package (AIP) Word Document
Please read first as the package contains applicant eligibility and processing step requirements.
- Registration hours are Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
- To expedite the registration process, we recommend applicants call ahead to schedule an appointment date/time to reduce possible waiting time.
- Please contact by phone at Ext. 1 or email firstname.lastname@example.com with Jennifer Chen to confirm an appointment. Please read the AIP before scheduling an appointment.
PASS uses the Peace Officer Background Investigative Tracking System (POBITS) to obtain applicant personal history information and other investigative necessities. POBITS is a web base program that requires applicants to have computer internet access.
Applicants will be provided login admission to POBITS at the time of registration which mandates the applicant's personal appearance at PASS. The staff member performing registration will provide a detail overview and instructions on the requirements of POBITS. Applicants will be given 10 days to fully complete the Personal History Statement within POBITS.
CORRECTIONS ACADEMY Process
In partnership with St. Petersburg College, PASS provides the background screening service for all open enrollment applicants wishing to attend the corrections academy. Interested applicants must meet the collegiate student requirements http://www.spcollege.edu/correctionsacademy/ prior to PASS consideration. The corrections PASS Process parallels the law enforcement process, with some minor exceptions (listed within the Applicant Information Package), adhering to the same governing principles and procedures denoted within the PASS Process above.
Exemption of Training (EOT) Process
As an out-of-state law enforcement or corrections officer, correctional probation officer, or federal law enforcement officer seeking employment in the State of Florida, or if you were formerly certified in Florida as a law enforcement officer you may request an exemption from some basic level training courses. In order to qualify your break in service can be no more than eight (8) years.
PASS offers an Equivalency of Training (EOT) review service. You must submit documentation of your law enforcement/corrections employment and training for an Equivalency of Training review. Documentation must reflect one (1) year, full-time prior law enforcement/corrections officer experience and successful completion in all of the minimum primary training areas.
For a detailed description of the EOT verification process and steps required, please click on the icons below:
PLEASE NOTE: Once your Form 76 has been approved you will have one year, and no longer, to take a proficiency course AND pass the State Officer Certification Examination (SOCE). St. Petersburg College offers both the proficiency course and the SOCE http://www.spcollege.edu/eot. If you do not complete the training and pass the SOCE within the 1-year period, you may apply for another exemption from training, but you must be eligible pursuant to Chapter 943.131(2) at the time of application. PASS will work with you on timing the approval of the Form 76 to coordinate with the course you will take. This will give you the most time to prepare for the SOCE and any necessary re-takes.
Florida Officers Reactivation Process
If you are already a Florida certified law enforcement or correctional officer and your certification has been "Inactive" less than eight (8) years (as measured from the separation date of your last employment as an officer in Florida), you may be eligible to reactivate your certification through this program.
For a detailed description of the Florida Officers Reactivation verification process and steps required, please click on the icons below:
Florida Reactivation Instructions
- Registration hours are Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
- To expedite the registration process, we recommend applicants call ahead to schedule an appointment date/time to reduce possible waiting time.
- Please contact by phone at Ext. 1 or email email@example.com with Jennifer Chen to confirm an appointment. Please read the instructions before scheduling an appointment.
Additional PASS Information
Funding and Administration
PASS is funded through a surcharge on criminal and civil fines levied in Pinellas County and by user fees for testing and records checks. Because of this funding structure PASS provides its services without additional taxpayer funding. PASS also pays St. Petersburg College (SPC) for space and the cost of administration with no expenses borne by SPC or the college system.
Evaluation of Candidates
PASS evaluates the fitness of a candidate's certification standards and background for admission to the law enforcement academy, correction academy or equivalency of training, but final admission to St. Petersburg College is the prerogative of the college. Application to St. Petersburg College is a separate process that must be initiated by the applicant.
Job Prospects: PASS is Not A Job Placement Service
Successful completion of the PASS background and screening process does not guarantee employment as a law enforcement officer or corrections officer, nor does it guarantee an employment interview. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit applications to the appropriate human resources office to each agency of interest, if that agency accepts applications directly. Agency recruiters regularly review open applicant files and may choose to contact selected applicants directly; however, PASS participating agencies are under no obligation to contact any particular applicant. Applicants are encouraged to contact the agencies of interest to them and arrange for tours, ride-a-longs, and meetings with recruiters as the agency permits.
The development of this website has been a collaborative effort to provide crucial and relevant material necessary for public safety seeking professionals to make an informed decision on career and living opportunities within the Tampa Bay Area. We have strived to make the browsing of this website self-guiding and all inclusive but do not hesitate to contact our staff directly at PASS as they will be glad to assist any of your needs. Thank you for visiting our website.

Who doesn't love the Ikea Monkey — the seven-month-old Rhesus Macaque found wandering around a Toronto Ikea yesterday in a shearling coat?

Here are some of the best Ikea Monkey memes.

While the rest of the NFL's contenders were playing it safe at Thursday's NFL trade deadline, the Patriots made a bold move, acquiring cornerback Aqib Talib from Tampa Bay.
Tampa gets New England's fourth-round pick, and the Patriots get a seventh-rounder from Tampa — and Talib, whose on-field ability has rarely been questioned. A first-round pick from 2008, Talib is a perfect fit with what New England wants to do in the secondary. He's big (6-foot-2, 202 pounds) and fast, and has been a starter for four seasons with the Bucs, known for his big-play ability. He has 14 interceptions and three touchdowns in 42 games since hitting the starting lineup in 2009.
What Talib does lack, unfortunately, is maturity. He was arrested in 2009 for assault, and indicted for aggravated assault in 2011 before the charges were dropped in 2012. And he's currently serving a four-game ban for use of the prescription drug Adderall, which will keep him out one more week.
If he's right, Talib probably steps right into the starting lineup, allowing the Patriots to use Devin McCourty at safety if they need to. If he's not right, it comes at the cost of a fourth-round pick — no small price, but with so many young players on the roster, New England can afford the risk.

THIBODAUX, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Volleyball team snapped a two-match skid in Southland Conference play on Thursday night with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-16, 25-21) sweep of the Nicholls Colonels in Stopher Gym. The Islanders will face Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.
The Islanders (10-6, 3-2 Southland) rebounded from a pair of losses with a convincing win over Nicholls (5-9, 2-3 Southland) in the first part of the two-match road swing through Louisiana.
Setter Logen Bourque did double duty, picking up a double-double with 33 assists and 12 digs, both of which were match highs. Shannon Hullum led the way on offense with a match-high 11 kills for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, while Haley Satterwhite had a breakout match on the way to a career-high nine kills.
In the first set the Islanders were behind early on, falling behind 2-0 and trailing all the way until back-to-back kills by Ashley Phelps evened the score at 17-17, and a Colonel attack error made it an 18-17 lead for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. The teams battled to a 23-23 tie late in the set, but a kill by Hullum and a Bourque service ace ended it with a 25-23 score to give their team a 1-0 lead.
Set two started out to a draw at 5-5, but five consecutive points on a kill by Satterwhite and a pair from Tyger Holt made it a 10-5 advantage that the Islanders would not relinquish. When the Colonels closed the gap to three at 13-10, Phelps and Hullum were part of three-straight points that made it a 16-10 lead. With Texas A&M – Corpus Christi leading 21-16 late in the period, the final four points were scored on a kill by Satterwhite and two from Hullum to help the Islanders to a 25-16 final and a 2-0 lead heading into the intermission.
The final set was similar to the first, with the teams knotting the score at 2-2 before a Colonels service error, followed by a Hullum kill and service ace, made it a 5-2 lead. With the lead at 16-14, the Islanders reeled off five points in a row with a kill from Hall, a service ace by Ivy Baresh and some Colonels miscues to make it a 21-14 lead. Nicholls battled back into it, closing the gap to 22-19, before a Satterwhite kill and a combined block by Satterwhite and Holt brought the score to match point at 24-20. After another Colonels point, they committed a service error to make it a 25-21 final and a 3-0 sweep for the Islanders.
Next up for the team will be a 2 p.m. match on Saturday just a short drive down the road in Hammond, La. to take on the Southeastern Louisiana Lady Lions. SELA was swept by Sam Houston State at home on Thursday night to move to 5-8 overall and 1-4 in Southland matches.

text: So I did an olympic tri and I'm still alive! There were some parts in that swim where I was starting to wonder. The funny part is during the swim I was thinking - I can't wait till I get to the bike - that'll be a breeze. I didn't count on spending my all in the swim:) So an hour and 5 minutes later I finally get out of the water and attempt to jog to the transition area when I realize I'm just lucky to be able to stand up so I settled for walking. That's about when I realize that my bum and the back of my thighs were hurting worse then they ever have from biking and this was before I even got on my bike! Not a fun realization to have. It also doesn't help moral to have someone (probably a medic) follow you into the transition area to ask you if you're alright. Of course, after having been asked that steadily for the last hour from all the lifeguards I was kind of used to brushing off the question by then. So I get on my bike and took what I thought was a fair pace until some of the girls from the sprint that started a half hour after my event started passing me and I realized that my pace may not have been that good after all. This is about the same time I started wondering how much of an advantage their racing bikes gave them over my mountain bike. The first half was mostly uphill and then the way back was downhill. At the turn around I felt my first burst of energy since the swim - the realization that gravity was now going to help me on the way back. So the second half of the bike I started to feel better, except for the fact that my back and neck were killing me not to mention my legs. In fact, my feet were hurting in ways I never thought possible from biking. For the first time ever I was looking forward to running over biking. Maybe those are the first signs of insanity. An hour and 50 minutes later I came in from the bike to see one of my friends (a girl) already finished and standing with the spectators:) That felt really good to know that she was done and I still had to run 6 miles. Starting the run was agonizing. Let's be honest it was more of a jog. Of course, somewhere in there before I ever got to the race I had decided I wanted to run the whole way so I did. There was a bunch of times where a walk just seemed like it would be such a nice relief but after a while I started seeing some mile signs pass by and I even started to pass other people and I realized that my pathetic pace was actually paying off. The best part was when I passed another guy doing the olympic and realized that I wouldn't be in last place after all. No the best part was just before the finish line when I realized I really was going to reach my goal of running the whole way without stopping. There was also a guy that finished just in front of me so I at least had a little bit of company. Turns out the run took me an hour and 5 minutes as well and surprisingly took about as much will power as the swim. The crazy part is despite the added aches from biking and running I really felt better after the bike and after the run then I did after the swim. It was almost like the bike and run helped me recover from a really bad swimming experience. Overall it took me just over 4 hours and 14 minutes with transitions of over 5 minutes a piece. A pitiful score I know but at least now I can say I've done a triathlon.

Scripture: Psalm 19:9 NIV …The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Observation: David, the author of this psalm, had a high opinion of God's laws. They are trustworthy, right, extremely valuable, pleasant, and very worth the effort to pay attention and keep. God's laws were important to David because God was important to David.
Application: How important is God to me? My value of God can be easily seen in my value of His word. If He is important to me, then His word is important to me. If His word is not very important to me, then He is not very important to me.
Prayer: Lord, when I take time to think things through, some things become very simple. How I value You can be seen in how I value the Bible, Your Word! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities and then teams up with them to build back stronger.
We have responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, including the Nepal earthquake, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the Japan tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, and the Indian Ocean tsunami.
Our seasoned emergency responders work through conflict in Gaza and are on the ground in Ukraine, Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic distributing critical supplies and protecting families uprooted by ongoing violence.
We're also working to support nearly 4 million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term refugee crisis and humanitarian disaster with no end in sight. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian crisis ▸

Over the weekend we distributed US$17,000 worth of relief items -- baby food, salt, soap, towels, toilet paper, dishware, detergent, diapers and bedding -- in two locations.
Kyrgyzstan: VIDEO: Renewing local economies in Kyrgyzstan
In response to the recent violence in Osh and Jalalabad, Mercy Corps has provided local area hospitals with baby food, sanitation products and basic medical supplies.

There's nothing more satisfying than putting your feet up after a long day, so why not treat yourself to something from our range of comfortable leather and faux leather footstools and pouffes? Footstools can serve a multitude of purposes. Not only are they great for providing extra comfort when reclining, creating an extra storage solution, and providing additional seating, but they also look great.
Most of our leather footstools and ottomans are available in a range of colours. Once you've chosen your style, explore what colours are available for your design.
Leather footstools to complement your furniture
There's nothing more satisfying than putting your feet up after a long day, so why not treat yourself to something from our range of comfortable leather footstools and pouffes? Footstools serve a dual purpose; not only do they provide extra comfort when reclining, but they also look great, and really add to the furniture arrangements of most living rooms. Our collection features a variety of different designs, so you'll be able to find a piece that perfectly complements the rest of your décor. And while you're at it, look at our leather pouffes for an extra slice of living room luxury.
Leather footstools to fit your interiors
Some of our leather footstools serve three purposes. Our KIVIK model, for example, provides a convenient storage solution on top of looking great and providing extra seating space. Elsewhere, if you have particularly modern or minimalist interiors, you'll want to take a look at our POÄNG and ÄLVROS ranges, which feature contemporary designs in understated colours. But if you're after something slightly more traditional, check out our KLIPPAN pouffe or EKTORP BROMMA footstool – they're a more conventional take on living room furniture. Make sure you relax in style and add to the feel of your interiors with one of our functional and highly attractive footstools.

I think Miles stays at LSU.
this may be of some local interest
Debate about which plane is which is now moot because the one in Dallas is headed to Baton Rouge:
Brandon's likely on it, and that Tuesday meeting may start happening in about 45 minutes. News, yes or no, could come any time tonight. Light a candle.
(HT: @daveduncan)
I think Miles stays at LSU.
If DB wants him. Way too much evidence that Les wants the job.
It would be truly amazing if after they meet we end up with little baby planes.
Welcome to FANTASY ISLAND!
"LSU might be willing to waive or lower Les Miles' 1.25M buyout to Michigan"
Talk about signs we shouldn't take him!
Looks like it's on it way back to willow run... Wonder what went down?

I think support for the Mac version has stopped unfortunately.
How can you download the Mac version? I see the Windows version on the site, but no mention of a Mac version.
Every time I've played AA, I've abandoned it after a while. The mix of realism and staggeringly unrealistic gun behavior bugs me to no end, and it's rare to find people who will even remotely act as a team to finish the objective (usually, one heads off with a sniper rifle, and drags out a round for a half an hour instead of 5 minutes).
It's definitely worth a try, but put down some money and buy something better.
Can u torture innocent civilians in this too?

In Between Jobs
Exclusive stream: Todd Snider unveils recession ode "In Between Jobs" from new album
As we reported last month, singer-songwriter-wiseass-national treasure Todd Snider will release a new album, Agnostic Hymns And Stoner Fables, March 6. In the meantime, we're pleased to stream the sloppy, welfare-funded skronk-blues of "In Between Jobs," which spotlights the album's funny-sad, Desire-and-sixpack-of-Old Milwaukee vibe. (That's a lot of hyphens, but Agnostic Hymns really is a multi-faceted record.) At any rate, here's "In Between Jobs."
Flagstaff Live
East Nashville Instigator
For fans of singer-songwriter Todd Snider, anytime he churns out a new album is a cause for extreme jubilation. Since his 1994 debut album Songs for the Daily Planet, and before, Snider has been slowly and methodically collecting a devoted fanbase that hangs on his every word...
Adventures in Folk Singing
The last time singer-songwriter Todd Snider played Flagstaff was in November of 2004. As far as I can tell, it's the only time—aside from his show here this Friday—that he's played here...
From the Desk of Todd Snider
it was many years ago behind a pool hall called curlys in memphis
where an early version of the nervous wrecks were rehearsing
under the watchful eye of our mentor mark "hoot" marchetti
the pool hall was empty save the day janitor
who seemed to be a local street drinker
that curly, the pool halls owner, had given an odd job too
he listened to our music for a minute, scratched his head, smiled and said
"yall got that classical funk sound"
he then went on to say that he was a scout for "i heard them records"
man those were the days.
so full of promise and humor.
sometimes i wish we'd have signed with "i heard them records"
instead of MCA...
you know, just to see what would have happened.
but alas, the past is unchangeable
and so we forge on
night after night, song after song...READ MORE
Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables
On March 6, East Nashville's subversive, fearless, rebel-rousing songwriter Todd Snider will release his new studio album 'Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables' (Aimless Records). Last year's double-disc live album 'The Storyteller' earned accolades from Rolling Stone and NPR and his new set finds him pushing even more of society's buttons. "I want to inspire people," Snider says. "I want to inspire them to leave home, to do things traditionally considered wrong. If you listen to my record and vandalize your school, godspeed."

In other Thibodaux City Council action: Feb. 5, 2013
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 4:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 4:33 p.m.
The following is a rundown of all action taken by the Thibodaux City Council on Tuesday. All votes were unanimous; all members were present.
Action: Adopted the Louisiana Compliance Questionnaire, an annual financial audit by the state.
Action: Authorized the mayor to contract with Murphy Appraisal Services for an appraisal of the Tiger Drive bridge replacement project.
Action: Authorized the mayor to add $36,174.30 to the agreement with Duplantis Design Group for the North Canal Boulevard widening project because of additional work.
Action: Authorized the mayor to submit an application for a community water enrichment fund grant from the Louisiana Office of Community Development.
Action: Authorized the mayor to contract with Donald Carmouche for pre-trial intervention services.
Action: Approved appointments to the Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department board, including Chief Randy Pate and Assistant Chiefs Chad Mire, Robert Riviere and Jeff Naul.
NOTE: Councilman Chad Mire abstained, since he was one of the appointees.
Action: Held status hearings on the condemnation of buildings at 210 Sanders St. and 318 N. 13th St. The council decided not to take action on either.
Action: Held public hearings on the following ordinances: re-subdividing property on St. Louis Street owned by Penn Weldon, re-subdividing property on Notre Dame Street claimed by the estate of Thomas Harris, amending the Thibodaux Zoning Ordinance to change a zoning classification for land on La. 308 owned by Levert Property, giving the civil service director a salary increase.
NOTE: The council voted to table the re-subdivision of the Notre Dame Street property due to a dispute between two people claiming to own part of it.
NOTE: The council voted not to give the civil service director a salary increase. The increase was proposed because the civil service board had re-classified the director position at a higher level; the council unanimously said that, if the board had wanted to get a raise for the director position along with the re-classification, it should have asked for the raise in the annual budget.

Note: This is cross-posted on my professional blog at the Marshall Independent.
Is it just my computer or has something happened to the Internet?
I got a new desktop a couple months ago. A professional writer needs to have two computers and my laptop sat on the desk 99.999% of the time anyway. So I semi-retired it and use it for travel and backup. When it finally gives up the ghost I may actually downgrade my portable work station to a notebook-sized model. All I use it for is a typewriter and a telephone anyway.
The problem with getting a new computer or new software is you have to learn a lot of the control procedures all over again. Every time I get a new version of Word it's got a whole bunch of new things it can do that I don't give a flip about. I want it to do the things I've done for years on it. Trouble is, the buttons for the things I've always done are now hard to find.
Since I started writing seriously I have NEVER EVER said, "Gee, I wish my word processor would do —–, I hope next year's model does that."
I have however said, "I wish this durn thing wouldn't do —– every time I turn it on."
It's as if every time you bought a new car you had to learn to drive all over again. ("This year's model features a tiller instead of a steering wheel…")
When was the last major change you remember in the controls of cars?
I think it was moving the bright switch from left of the brake or clutch pedal on the floor to the steering column.
At any rate on my new desktop I've been noticing something lately. Actually, "been intensely irritated by something lately" describes it better.
Pop-ups have been with us for a long time, but were a livable irritation and of course you can install pop-up blockers.
However lately I'm continually interrupted by streaming video pop-ups which are invariably louder than what I'm listening to at the time. I have to hunt for the "x" to close them, or even minimize the screen to get to them. And for some reason a window will open behind the one I'm working on and start playing a full episode of some TV series.
And what's really irritating is, I'm used to clicking on the screen to get it to scroll down using the down arrow button. Of course you avoid clicking on buttons, but nowadays when I click on a blank part of the screen more often than not a window opens on something I wasn't even aware of.
And by the way, who the heck allowed someone to start creating links on words in my blog? Nobody asked me if they could do that and I'm not making a dime off it.
What's going on?

"Road Trip" on 34th Street
December 24, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
A few days ago, we took a quick "road trip" down 34th street in New York City to visit Zales, one of our wonderful partners. Zales, as you may know is promoting their "Shared Heart" collection and are donating a portion of every purchase to Autism Speaks.
As we walked down 34th Street and stopped to gawk at the huge "Believe" sign on the side of Macy's, we were thrilled to see the front door of Zales covered in Autism Speaks logos.
To learn more and get last minute gifts, find a Zales in your area or shop the Autism Speaks official e-store.
Happy holidays!

When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best ... And ... always look on the bright side of life - Eric Idle (Monty Python) At 11:30 a.m. EST on Christmas Eve, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced a handful of significant changes to its support of those venerable twins: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Most significant was an unveiling of its potential equity injections for the next three years. Mortgage traders and analysts alike scrambled for the next several days to interpret exactly what this means for the secondary mortgage market, but in the end little actual market reaction was seen. Instead the move was seen — as all previous moves to shore up the twins — as further indication the government will not allow for a default on their debt. No big surprise there. But now that the folks keyed in on the short-term view have settled their stomachs, focus is turning on longer-term implications. In particular, just when will we have a private sector mortgage market once again? When the President submits his budget recommendations in February, he plans to include specific suggestions about what to do with the twins long-term. I have been hoping this will finally kick off a serious debate — both in Congress and in the public — that would lead quickly to a resolution of this roadblock. Instead, the Christmas Eve gift we received could indicate we have much longer to go. In this column, in my regular speeches, in client presentations and in my conversations with anyone who will listen, I have preached for the last year and a half that the quickest route to economic recovery drives right through the mortgage market. We only need answer a few, but admittedly significant, questions regarding government support for the housing sector. Once the uncertainty recedes about where government will play, private lenders will reemerge, which will create a stable environment for homebuyers along with lower interest rates. This is all we really need to give the consumer courage to reenter the malls and bring strength to our economy once again. Instead, I fear we are setting the stage for this uncertainty to continue through 2010 and beyond, keeping potential lenders guessing and thereby reluctant to commit to providing home loans. As long as the government dominates the mortgage market, I do not believe a strong economic recovery is possible in the near future. However, the refrain from the Monty Python song keeps bounding around in my head, encouraging a look on the brighter side of life. Unfortunately, this leads me away from looking at the economy. Key Developments Treasury issuance set another record last week at $209 billion. This was the eighth record week for Treasury issuance during the year and was met with the same solid demand as all the others. With all the grumbling about how much debt we are accumulating, it remains curious that demand continues to be strong enough to accommodate. An early look at Christmas sales showed rising Internet sales totaling $27 billion from November 1 through December 24. This was a 5 percent jump from last year and included a 20 percent increase in consumer electronics.

SANTA CLARA -- Coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he hopes the 49ers' acquisition of offensive tackle Jonathan Martin will be a "win-win" following the team's trade with the Miami Dolphins.
Martin, whom the 49ers acquired on Tuesday, played under Harbaugh at Stanford before starting his NFL career with the Dolphins in 2012. Martin's playing days with Miami came to a stunning end in late October when he left the team and exposed a bullying environment.
"The goal for this transaction is a win-win," Harbaugh said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "It's a great opportunity for Jon to demonstrate to the football world that he's a football player and worthy of his high draft status. It's a great opportunity for our organization to add a (2012) second-round pick into our organization."
If Martin makes the 49ers' opening-day roster, the 49ers will send a 2015 seventh-round draft pick to the Dolphins, ESPN reported. Martin has been spending time back at Stanford and must pass a physical before joining the 49ers.
"Because of my relationship recruiting Jonathan, and coached Jonathan for three years at Stanford, I'm confident he will be committed to the mission and the organization, and very excited about it," Harbaugh said. "I believe everybody deserves an Etch-A-Sketch opportunity and an opportunity to start a new chapter."
Martin is expected to be made available to the media once the trade is finalized upon his physical. Neither Harbaugh nor general manager Trent Baalke have held press conferences in the wake of Tuesday's start of the league's new year.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- It's unusual for a team to carry two left-handed-hitting starting first basemen, but the A's are leaning heavily toward doing it.
Daric Barton likely will get most of the playing time on defense. Brandon Moss, who was the regular at first for most of the 2013 season, will mostly be the designated hitter, although both men are likely to take a seat on the bench against left-handed pitching.
The arrangement will cause alterations to the A's roster to start the season. John Jaso, who might otherwise be the D.H. since the A's have better defensive options at catcher, will wind up doing the bulk of the catching. Jaso, a left-handed hitter, will split time with Derek Norris, who is right-handed.
And fellow lefty-hitting catcher Stephen Vogt, who is having one of the best springs of any of the A's, will start the season in the minor leagues.
The A's brain trust is in accord on most things, but this situation isn't one of them. There is a preponderance of support for Barton, whose high on-base percentage and good glove work offsets for his boosters the fact that he doesn't hit for much power. And first base is a power position throughout most of baseball.
But there also is heavy lobbying for having the team go with Moss and his power at first base, using Jaso at D.H. and opening a spot on the roster for Vogt.
The debate is likely to go down to opening day, and even beyond.
Outside the organization, multiple scouts following the A's say the three-catcher setup seems to be a better use of the A's assets than the two first basemen. That suggests using Moss, who hit 30 homers last year and struck out 140 times, at first base and Vogt/Norris behind the plate is a better defensive combination than Barton with Jaso/Norris.
Barton is a good defensive first baseman, but Moss is, too. At the same time, Vogt is, as Jaso said Monday "a guy who definitely deserves to make the team." The only way it would seem that could happen would be opening up a roster spot with a trade, going with six relievers instead of seven, going with just one backup infielder or going with one first baseman.
None of those options seems to taste quite right to the A's front office, which is why Vogt seems likely to head to Sacramento when the final roster cuts are made this weekend in the Bay Area.
Barton has had a nice spring offensively. Before going hitless in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers Monday, he carried a .296 batting average, but with no extra-base hits. He also had nine walks and had been hit by a pitch, leading to a .486 on-base percentage, which is something the A's value highly.
This spring has been a major about-face for Barton, who was repeatedly designated for assignment last year when it seemed his career in Oakland had been played out. But injuries in the outfield and behind the plate led to Moss moving to the outfield for a while. Jaso missed the last two months with a concussion. And Barton thrived.
Called up Aug. 26, Barton hit .301 the rest of the way while posting a .381 on-base percentage. He's always been more of an on-base machine than a run producer, but over those 29 games he actually had more RBIs (13) than walks (12).
The knock on him in the past was that he was too passive at the plate, too willing to wait for walks and not going to the plate with the idea of driving in runs, but he showed new aggression last September. It's carried over to this spring.
"I came here this spring to have fun, and I've done that,'' Barton said. "I'm more aggressive now. When they throw a strike, I'm swinging.''
Moss has been swinging, too. He didn't play Monday, but has a .389 average this spring with three homers. Vogt is at .357 with three homers and is tied for the club lead with 12 RBIs. Jaso, who drove in the first Oakland run on Monday, is at .279 with a dozen RBIs. And Norris, picking up from a big second half last year (.333 average, 400 on-base percentage), is at .400 with three homers and 10 RBIs.
There is plenty of offensive potential there. The question now is whether or not the A's can find the best combination at first base and behind the plate.

Raceland businessman's body found
Published: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 9:59 p.m.
Deputies found the body of a Raceland man who was reported missing since Thursday.
Wayne Folse, 3138 La. 308, was found dead Friday, and his body has been turned over to the Coroner's Office, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office said.
No foul play is suspected, but the Sheriff's Office declined to release details.
Family members told police Folse left Raceland Paint and Body Shop on La. 1 about 10:30 a.m. Thursday. He was traveling to a hardware store and bank on La. 1 south of his shop, according to an earlier release. He never reached either destination, and family had not been able to reach him since.

The Science of Water and Whisky – Part 4 Impact of Different Water Qualities on BowmorePosted on the by Rachel Barrie
I am often asked how important the quality of the water is when adding water to whisky. I always recommend using clean potable water without any aroma or taint. Generally, this can be well-run local tap water if of a high enough quality, or bottled water in parts of the world where tap water may be suspect or tainted. However, until now I had not fully explored the sensorial impact of different potable water properties on mixing with whisky.Read the full article

On the last night of his life, Rory Park-Pettiford was riding high.
The 22-year-old Campbell native was in a budding relationship he was ready to reveal. He had finally gotten confident enough to record hip-hop songs in a studio setting. The seeds of his latest career venture were being planted.
To top it off, he was behind the wheel of his new ride, a cherry customized BMW, with his good buddy riding passenger-side as they prepared to hit the town Friday night.
"He was so happy. I hadn't seen him that happy in a long time," said longtime friend Ardian Kucevic.
But in a flash, Park-Pettiford was slumped over the steering wheel from multiple gunshots as his friend looked on in horror, not knowing that they had just been ensnared in the rampage of two armed robbers who would escalate their crime spree later that night by trying to kill a police officer.
The senseless shooting prompted an outpouring of support for Park-Pettiford's family from Campbell, where he grew up, and the wider South Bay community. Kucevic, 21, recounted the devastating seconds that began with a simple visit to a minimart and ended with his dying friend in his arms.
He said the two stopped by a 7-Eleven Friday night to buy cigarettes and energy drinks and had emerged from the store when they saw a dark figure.
"We're getting closer to the car," Kucevic said, "and someone's coming around the corner, wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun."
The two thought that the masked man was set on holding up the 7-Eleven, he said, so they frantically got into the car to get away.
Rory Park-Pettiford briefly fumbled with the push-button ignition of his new car, and just a few seconds had passed when a bullet smashed through the driver's side window.
"It hit him in the side in the upper body, and he just kind of slumped back. He looked at me, and said 'I'm shot,' " Kucevic said. "By the time he said that, he got shot again."
"He ..." Kucevic said, choking up and then pausing to gather himself, " ... he just died."
It happened in a blur.
"From us walking out of the 7-Eleven to him dying in front of me, it was about 30 seconds," Kucevic said.
The shooting was in the midst of a violent rampage that started about 7:40 p.m. Friday when two armed men robbed a Little Caesar's Pizza restaurant on Story Road in East San Jose. Police said the suspects then robbed a gas station on East Capitol Expressway, then allegedly held up a Jack in the Box restaurant on Curtner Avenue and a spa on Bird Avenue.
Police believe they were trying to carjack Park-Pettiford's BMW.
An officer on the look out for a car linked to the suspects spotted it on Interstate 280 near Highway 101 and, while waiting for backup, followed it to the intersection of Tully Road and Lanai Avenue. As both cars were stopped at a red light, the two men got out of their vehicle and opened fire.
The unnamed officer was wounded but escaped serious injury during the Friday night gunbattle. One of the men -- 26-year-old Jonathan Wilbanks of San Jose -- was arrested, but the second was still at large Monday, prompting a $20,000 reward from the police union and mayor's office for information leading to his arrest.
Police described the attack on the officer as an ambush. The second officer to arrive at the scene, Bruce Barthelemy, fired several shots at the two suspects. The men fled, but police say Wilbanks was struck twice and eventually caught.
As police continue to look for the second suspect, Park-Pettiford's death -- the 42nd homicide of the year in San Jose -- reverberated throughout the community. His girlfriend, 18-year-old Brittany Mundy, led a vigil at the 7-Eleven store on South Kiely Avenue where he was shot. His brother Dylan said he and his family have gotten a flood of well wishes via phone, text, email and social media, including a message of sympathy from a professional hockey player.
"It's pretty amazing, how many people he affected," Dylan Park-Pettiford said. "Basically the entire city of Campbell rallied around him."
Rory Park-Pettiford was remembered as an outgoing kid who made friends wherever he went, from Marshall Lane Elementary and Westmont High School, where he played football, to his frequent jaunts to places like Santa Cruz and Southern California.
"Every time I called him, he's somewhere else, doing something different," his brother said. "Rory was really fun-loving, living one giant adventure."
Seemingly always on the go, Rory Park-Pettiford had his hands in construction and odd jobs, which paid the bills, all the while crafting rap lyrics and buying and selling Air Jordan sneakers.
His latest undertaking was a plan to make dental jewelry grills, and much like his other activities, no detail went unnoticed. He was apprenticing with a jeweler and mapped out an eventual diamond-supply strategy. The end goal was to bring a grill shop to the South Bay.
"He had a real vision," Kucevic said. "He was loyal, loving, caring. Very passionate."
His former high school football coach, Jake Redmond, was dumbstruck when he heard about what happened to the young man who worked hard and kept things light in the locker room.
"He was just a great kid," Redmond said. "It's a sad day to have someone that young with that much potential be killed the way he was."
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the second suspect is asked to immediately call 911. To provide confidential information about the whereabouts of the suspect, call 408-947-STOP (7867) or homicide investigators at 408-277-5283.
Contact Robert Salonga at 408-920-5002. Follow him at Twitter.com/robertsalonga.
A memorial service for Rory Park-Pettiford is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at Darling Fischer Memorial Chapel, 231 East Campbell Ave. in Campbell. To help his family with funeral costs, please go to www.roryparkdonations.com.

Work aims to connect local levee systems
Published: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 11:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 11:19 a.m.
Work is underway to tie Terrebonne and south Lafourche's levee systems together.
The action will close a gap in the Morganza to the Gulf hurricane protection system and offer some protection from storm surge for residents in parts of both parishes.
The preliminary design has been completed for a portion of the Morganza segments K and L. The levee sections will stretch from Morganza's current endpoint in Pointe-aux-Chenes to connect into south Lafourche's ring levee system at Cut Off.
Morganza is a system of levees and floodgates meant to protect Terrebonne and parts of Lafourche from storm flooding.
Linking the systems has required a lot of cooperation. While the project is a part of the Terrebonne Levee District's Morganza project and also provides protection to north Lafourche, the levee crosses land and protects some Pointe-aux-Chenes residents in the South Lafourche Levee District's jurisdiction. Because so many agencies are involved, the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority stepped in to help design the levee, and Lafourche Parish government has put up money to assist the project.
"We're all working together, the communities of south Lafourche, north Lafourche and Terrebonne," said Windell Curole, director of the South Lafourche Levee District. "The bottom line is what's best for people."
Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre said $7.5 million in hurricane recovery grants has been put aside for design and construction of portions of the levee but is not enough to complete the project.
Dupre said that the Levee District hopes to secure up to $6.3 million in state infrastructure dollars to help build the levee.
The plan is to build up two miles of private levee extending from Cut Off west that will eventually become part of the system. Construction of that section will likely be done by the South Lafourche Levee District.
On the Pointe-aux-Chenes side, there's another 1,600-1,800 feet of levee that follow an existing mitigation levee.
Connecting the levees in the middle will be the most expensive part of the project, Dupre said, because there's no existing levee to build on, and it must include a floodgate in Grand Bayou and another gate for water flow. Officials hope to finish preliminary design on that segment this year in hopes that the full connection can be finished in the next three years.
"It would provide a tremendous level of protection," he said.
