"COPPER GONE" - MP3, CD, VINYL, tapes & errrrr
COPPER GONE package deals for CDs, Vinyl, Tapes, MP3, Gear:
Copper Gone is a massive emotional outpouring in rap form. The grit, grime, and brutal reality of being an independent hip-hop artist for decades all has been mashed into a whirlwind survey of how brilliance, independence, and creative commitment are dealt with todayall from perhaps our greatest modern-day poet. - Chris Force, Alarm Magazine

05 DEAD MAN'S FLOAT (music by Cecil Otter)
06 OVER UNDER (music by Le Parasite)

"SAGE FRANCIS...relocked and reloaded."
After a 4-year hiatus, the indie rap icon is taking his signature style of hip-hop and performance art back on the road to support the June 2014 release of "COPPER GONE" on STRANGE FAMOUS RECORDS. It features beat production from long-time music affiliates BUCK 65, ALIAS, CECIL OTTER, REANIMATOR, and more. Physical/digital pre-sales are available now.
"VONNEGUT BUSY", the lead single, acts as a stylistic sample dish for what one can expect from the new album, transitioning seamlessly from socio-economic issues to personal politics, all while being punctuated by the project's overall mission statement: "When it seems like you're going through hell...keep going." The reference to Kurt Vonnegut in the title is accompanied by a quote from the satirical writer in one of the song's 3 sub-choruses: "Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, 'it might have been.'"
As fans and media may remember, Francis declared a sudden retirement from touring at the end of his "Li(f)e on the Road" world excursion in 2010. Many people misinterpreted this as a resignation from music altogether as his three album deal with Epitaph Records came to its conclusion. "It sort of offends my sensibilities to hear that some people thought I gave up music," Francis remarks. "I've been writing songs since I was 8 years old. Performing on stage since 12. Winning over crowds and losing partners in the process. As far as creative energy goes, my entire adult life and the bulk of my childhood has been dedicated to this craft. I don't even think I could stop that train if I wanted to."
In reality, Francis removed himself from the non-stop grind of the tour circuit in hopes of developing a healthier domestic situation. He did not achieve this goal, as numerous songs on Copper Gone clearly illustrate (some more overtly than others.) Over the course of the next few years, in the wake of some significant personal losses, Francis succumbed to his more hermit-like tendencies. He remained tucked away in the woods on the outskirts of Rhode Island, running Strange Famous Records remotely, all while continuing to write/record music in the isolation of his studio.
"No matter how much time I spend by myself, I'm constantly aware of how I need to keep this ship afloat. If not for me, then for the others who have jumped on board with me. That's not the main motivation for what I do, but it's probably good to feel pressured into staying active outside of my bubble. I'm stressed, overworked, and exhausted regardless of my situation, so I might as well step into the fire rather than just watch the world burn around me. At this point, that sounds a lot better to me than spending the rest of my life as a recluse, wondering what might've been."
Copper Gone drops worldwide June 3rd, 2014 on Strange Famous Records (in the UK it is being released by Scroobius Pip's Speech Development Records.)
Copper Gone Tour will make its way through North America from late May until early July with B. DOLAN and special guests, followed by a world tour beginning in October. Dates for the tour are listed below. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!

Thank god you aren't playing The Clubhouse this time around. I think you will like Crescent a lot better, the only thing The Clubhouse sort of had going for it was decent sound occasionally, but I think Crescent Ballroom blows it out of the water in that respect as well.

Pitching lifts Colonels to win over Sacred Heart
Published: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 11:43 p.m.
Nicholls State baseball coach Seth Thibodeaux is the first to admit the Colonels haven't been the hottest hitting team of late, but as long as they keep winning games, like the 4-1 series clincher Saturday night against Sacred Heart, he is perfectly fine with it.
That's because the Colonels saw their starter, Taylor Byrd, go eight complete innings, striking out eight batters and allowing only six hits with no earned runs as he kept the Pioneers hitters at bay throughout the night.
It was a performance that earned praise from Thibodeaux, who has come to expect a successful outing every time Byrd (3-1) takes the mound.
"He was dominant early in the game and did a fantastic job of controlling the running game when he did get a couple guys on base," Thibodeaux said.
"Byrd controls the game and these guys play with a lot of confidence that they know they are going to win. We're not swinging real well right now but I don't care, as long as we are swinging hot in May and we will."
Of course for Byrd, the Colonels (9-7) were able to jump out to an early three-run lead, making his job nearly elementary.
"When a team scores runs early in the game like we did (Saturday) it allows you to throw strikes and let your defense work after that," Byrd said.
"You don't have to really worry about mixing it up as much. It makes my job easier."
The Colonels plated their first runs in the first inning, capitalizing on a hit batter and walk.
After Mike Barba was plunked, he successfully stole second to move into scoring position before advancing on a wild pitch during Philip Lyons' at-bat. Lyons drew a walk before a sacrifice fly RBI by Keith Cormier gave the Colonels an early 1-0 lead.
Lyons was plated on a Nick Morrissey (0-1) wild pitch to increase Nicholls' lead to 2-0.
After Byrd continued to hold the Pioneer batters in check, the Colonels plated another run in the second.
A deep double to right field by Tyler Duplantis (1-for-2) set up a David Zorn (1-for-2, one RBI) RBI double to increase the Colonel lead to 3-0. Zorn attempted to stretch the play into a triple but was tagged out by Sacred Heart third baseman Brian Lamboy to end the scoring threat.
When the Colonels jumped on top by three, Thibodeaux knew they would be a tough team for Sacred Heart to catch up with from that point on.
"Anytime you get an early lead like that, (Taylor) just settles down and gets in a groove there," he said. "And our players know that. They do what they have to do to get it done."
Sacred Heart posed a threat in the sixth when a triple by John Murphy (3-for-4) put a runner in scoring position with one out, but Byrd struck out the next two Pioneer batters to maintain the Colonels' 3-0 lead.
The Colonels threatened in the seventh, facing bases loaded with one out, but failed to push any additional runs across the board.
The Pioneers (0-7) again had a chance to cut into the Colonel lead in the eighth as a fielding error and a single by Jonathan Servilla (1-for-4) put two runners on with no outs.
However, Sacred Heart managed only one run, an RBI single by Murphy, as two runners were picked off by Byrd and the Colonel defense.
Thibodeaux said being able to survive the inning with minimal damage shows the true character of the Colonels.
"Every team is going to have a chance to throw a punch, and theirs was in the eighth, he said. "We did a good job of eliminating a big inning right there."
The Colonels got the run back in the eighth when an RBI double by Matt Richard (2-for-5, one RBI) plated Zorn to give the Colonels the 4-1 edge.
Jordan McCoy closed the game out for the Colonels, earning his fifth save of the season.

The Gators will be looking to avenge their Elite 8 loss to Louisville and they are back for more this season with a #3 seed berth in the South Regional's of the NCAA Tournament. Billy Donovan's crew have won national titles and have started to garner the same high-profile recruits that the UF football team is used to getting and in turn the O'Connell Center is packed for every game, something Gator fans will have to reproduce in the various NCAA Tournament locations this year.
Check out our Florida Gators Season Preview History page for previews of previous Gators seasons.
The Gators play their home games at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center (O'Connell Center), located in Gainesville, Florida on the campus of University of Florida. With a capacity of over 11 thousand screaming fans, the O'Dome is the place to be for all Florida basketball games. The student section is known as the "Rowdy Reptiles" and has made the Florida games one of the tougher environments for visiting teams to play. The Florida Gators home bench is on the O'Connell Center sideline in front of section J1. O'Connell Center parking information is covered in out Gators event guide.
Florida State Seminoles, Kentucky Wildcats
As in-state rivals, this match-up stretches through all the collegiate sports, but has become an intense rivalry in basketball. The teams face each other one time every season with the games closely contested and heated.
As two of the better SEC teams, this game continues to be one of the better rivalries in college basketball. Florida and Kentucky are consistently battling for the conference supremacy which has only added to bitterness between the two teams.
Florida has become one of the better college programs in the last 15 years. The Gators have won two National Championships and advanced to the Final Four three times during this stretch. Florida has earned an NCAA Tournament bid 18 times in their history and have won three SEC tournament titles.
Gates 1, 2 and 4 are open 1-1/2 hours prior to tip-off at O'Connell Center. For students, Gate 3 opens 2 hours prior to tip-off.
General Parking is available at the O'Connell Center garage as well as the north end of Percy Beard Track (off SW 2nd Ave.) on a first-come, first-serve basis. These lots fill up quickly, especially for weeknight games. Please note - access to the O'Connell Center garage must be from SW 2nd Ave. A free shuttle service is also provided from the Commuter Lot on Gale Lemerand Drive across from the UF Physics building. The shuttle begins running 2 hours prior to tipoff and then after the game until all patrons have left the arena.
All persons (regardless of age) must have a ticket to enter any University of Florida athletic event that requires a ticket for admission.

MISTAKE #3. I should have either used much more semolina flour on my peel or just used parchment paper and called it a day.
The good news is that I still have three more dough balls to practice with. I'll keep you posted in the event that I finally do nail one and have that perfect photo to share with you.
Thanks as always to Nicole from Pinch My Salt for hosting this fantastic challenge. I'm still learning and still get excited each week as I tackle the next recipe.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - We adopted a Border Collie mix from a rescue group several weeks ago. They estimated that Buster is 3-4 years old. He constantly wants to be petted, nuzzles our hands and licks us. He is very loving, but does some unpredictable things that make us nervous. A friend came to our house yesterday and Buster rolled over on his back. When our friend leaned down to scratch his tummy, Buster snapped at him. He didn't make contact, but it scared everyone. We are worried that he will bite someone next time.
- Buster's worried family
Dear Worried,
Buster is very new to your household and still trying to figure out his place in your family. Visitors to the house just add another level of stress to an already stressful situation. Most dogs settle into new environments after three to four weeks, but it can take longer depending on the dog's temperament and history. The kind of problem you describe often arises when humans don't understand what dogs are trying to say to them. Dogs communicate non-verbally, so a little lesson in dog communication is in order. To understand what a dog is trying to say, we have to look at their behaviors.
The first category of behaviors are those used to appease others and are used when a dog is communicating they see you or another dog as their leader. Appeasement behaviors include: nuzzling with their nose, licking, jumping up, paw lifts, teeth clacking, crouching, pretzeling their body, play bows, and smiling. You mentioned that Buster nuzzles and licks you, so this gives us a clue about how he sees you.
The second category of behaviors are those used for deference and are offered by a dog who perceives a treat. Many things humans do without a second thought are interpreted by dogs as threat displays such as making direct eye contact, approaching head-on, using a loud voice, bending over, and patting on the head. Common deference behaviors include tail tucking, freezing, averting eye contact or turning the head away, rolling onto the back, and submissively urinating. When Buster rolled onto his back for your friend, he perceived him as a threat. When the friend leaned over to pet him, Buster was so frightened he snapped to warn him to back off. This doesn't mean that all dogs who roll over and show their tummies are scared, but in this situation it does. A secure dog who is comfortable in their environment very likely does want a belly rub!
Lastly, it helps to recognize some common signs of dogs who are feeling stressed and are trying to calm themselves or others. Humans can mimic these behaviors to communicate to a nervous or fearful dog that they mean no harm. Observe Buster and note any of the following behaviors:
1. Lip licking
2. Yawning
3. Sniffing at the ground
4. Curving to the side when approaching
5. Blinking
You can build Buster's confidence by creating a structured, predictable environment with routine and positive reinforcement based training. Don't push him or put him in situations that make him uncomfortable and give him time to settle in and learn his place in your pack.

Oakland city officials have once again proved that their definition of "90 percent" is "an unknown percentage between 0 and 100, but probably not 90."
Police Chief Howard Jordan said Monday that 90 percent of the city's crime since summer had been committed by just two gangs. That would have meant those two gangs were responsible for 1,980 robberies and 51 homicides, which would have required them to be either extremely large or extremely efficient.
Those figures, of course, did not last long. By the end of Tuesday, Jordan claimed that he got confused -- which raises its own set of issues about a police chief who gets confused and makes up numbers at a news conference -- and what he meant was that 14 gangs were responsible for 65 percent of 58 percent of homicides.
OK, 37.7 percent is not 90 percent and, more important, 2.7 percent of the city's violence per gang is not 45 percent of the city's violence per gang.
By itself this would be bad but it's the second appearance of the imaginary 90 percent in the city's recent history. Mayor Jean Quan's 100 Blocks program was originally based on the premise that, according to the mayor, 90 percent of crime occurred in 100 blocks of Oakland. The real number turned out to be 17 percent.
How could this be? How could the leadership of the eighth-largest city in California be that fast and loose with facts when justifying policies to the people they serve? Do they simply consider truthful, correct information to be unimportant?
"The exact percentage isn't as important as the fact that these two groups are responsible for a huge percentage of the violence that's plaguing the city," Sean Maher, spokesman for the mayor, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "The exact figure isn't as important as what we're going to do to stop them."
Oh. So yes, then. They simply consider truthful, correct information to be unimportant.
Maher is exactly wrong. In fact, in that quote, Maher succinctly illustrated precisely why Oakland's crime prevention plans so consistently fail.
The exact percentage is absolutely crucial, more so than anything else, because the exact percentage determines the best course of action for solving the problem.
Imagine your doctor told you, "The exact figures for your blood pressure and cholesterol aren't as important as what we're going to do to stop your heart attacks." That wouldn't exactly instill you with confidence, right? Because it doesn't take a medical license to know that diagnosing a condition requires correct information about the patient.
Crime prevention works the same way. If two gangs are responsible for 45 percent of the city's crime each, it makes a lot of sense to call in the FBI, the National Guard and anyone else short of the Avengers to stop those two gangs, since doing so would turn Oakland into a peaceful utopia. But if stopping 14 gangs prevents 2.7 percent of violence each, over half the city's violence will still be there when you're done. So it may not be wise to commit that much of the city's limited resources to just the one plan.
But what if that number-phobic doctor really, really wants to perform open-heart surgery? Maybe in the hopes of getting re-elected or not being taken over by the FBI? He or she could just tell you that your blood pressure is 10,000 over 700 and scare you into it without the information necessarily being, strictly speaking, true. Sure you may die on the table, but what's the alternative? Research? Math?
That's what Jordan, Quan, Maher and the rest of City Hall are doing. They're feeding Oakland numbers they made up on the spot to convince the people of the city to back their proposals without giving them the opportunity to make a fair assessment of the idea's merit.
They need to stop. They need to understand that the exact percentage is important, if only in the name of honesty. Because if they don't start being truthful and giving the people they serve factual information, Oakland could die on the table.

MARIN COUNTY -- Charles Quaid, known by friends and family as "Charlie," was no stranger to the ocean.
An avid sailor, the Richmond resident tragically died Tuesday afternoon after being swept out to sea by a treacherous wave while walking with his wife and their dog at Point Reyes National Seashore.
"He was a very engaged, very active person," said his wife of six years, Lisa Quaid. "Life was never boring with Charlie."
Quaid, 59, was on the beach with his wife and dog about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday when a wave swept the two people into the water, said Marin County Fire Department Battalion Chief Mike Giannini.
California Highway Patrol and Coast Guard helicopters searched for the man for hours along with fire crews, Giannini said.
Quaid's body was found at 4 p.m. and he was pronounced dead at the scene, Giannini said. His body was taken to the Coast Guard facility at Bodega Bay.
Lisa Quaid was evaluated by paramedics and released with no injuries, Giannini said. The dog also was not injured.
"This is an example of the long-standing adage, 'Never turn your back on the ocean,' " Giannini said, describing the unusually large wave that swept the couple into the water as a "sneaker wave."
At home with family and friends on Wednesday, Lisa Quaid said she and her husband could be doing anything, be it frequenting the Oakland Art Murmur or simply going for a walk, and she would have fun "no matter what."
"There are so many memories, I can't pick just one," she said.
A lover of art and a connoisseur of ceviche -- his favorite dish, according to his wife -- Quaid also served as the chief financial officer of the Pacific Business Group on Health, a health care consulting firm in San Francisco, for the past three years.
Funeral services for Quaid are pending, his wife said Wednesday.
Large, sudden waves are common in the area, and Giannini urged beachgoers to be vigilant when walking there.
"You don't necessarily know what the size of a wave will be at any time," Giannini said. "We presume them all to be more or less the same, but there are times when large waves will come up on the shoreline and take people by surprise."
On Dec. 28, 9-year-old Juan Carlos Escamillo-Monroy, of San Francisco, was swept into the bay by a large wave while fishing with his father on the Marin Headlands. His father, 37-year-old Juan Escamillo-Rojas, clung to some rocks along the Bonita Cove shoreline after the wave hit, but his son was swept away and the father died trying to save him.

If you're looking for a tree service, don't make the same mistake. Do your research. You want to make sure the person is licensed to work in your county, is bonded and insured and has a good rating with the Better Business Bureau.
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The recent cold snap is a good reminder to start preparing your home for colder weather and that often means trimming back trees. But before you hire a landscaping service, it's good to to your homework.
Connie Duke's front yard has been named best yard in her neighborhood. However, she doesn't feel like celebrating.
"Oh, I am very angry. I think it's a terrible way to do someone," Duke said.
The 69-year-old woman says her tree nightmare began in September. She noticed a crew working in a neighbor's yard. She asked them if they would mind stopping by later to trim back a few of her own tree limbs. They said OK for $45.
But a few hours later, the owner of the company came and introduced himself.
"Then later the guy came over and told me I needed all my trees cut down," Duke said.
The owner of Jungle Man Tree Service told her she was in danger and all of her trees needed to go.
"I said, I like trees, I don't want to cut all my trees down," she said.
She eventually agreed to let him get rid of three for $2,000.
Duke says the owner told her he would be out the next day. But the next day came and went and her trees still stood strong. She began to ask questions.
"I did check into his company and they are not licensed and I really don't want someone cutting down pine trees because some of these pine trees are 90 feet high," she said.
Duke tried to stop payment on the check, but it was too late.
"I think I was just not thinking, I was excited about getting the limbs cut, and I was just not thinking good," she said.
Duke wishes she thought things out before handing over the money. All she can do now is warn others not to make the same mistake.
The owner of Jungle Man Tree Service told News 12 On Your Side that he would return Duke's money. At the time this story aired, he had not given her the money back.
Duke has filed an incident report and is pursuing charges.
If you're looking for a tree service, don't make the same mistake. Do your research. You want to make sure the person is licensed to work in your county, is bonded and insured and has a good rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Autism Speaks Being Heard in Europe
Posted by Autism Speaks staffers Simon Wallace, Ph.D., director of scientific development for Europe; Dana Marnane, vice president of awareness and events; and Daniel Lightfoot, Ph.D., director of the Autism Tissue Program
Over the last week, we visited three European countries to explore partnerships with researchers and autism organizations. In particular we've been discussing Autism Speaks' efforts in the areas of awareness, communication, our Global Autism Public Health (GAPH) initiative and the Autism Tissue Program (ATP).
Pulling our suitcases behind us, our first stop was in Stockholm, Sweden, where we met with Prof. Sven Bölte, of the Karolinska Institute for Neurodevelopmental Disorders, to discuss establishing an autism brain bank in Sweden.
As highlighted in a recent Nature article, one of the best ways for scientists to understand how autism affects brain development is by looking directly at the tissue. Just as diabetes researchers must study the pancreas, scientists studying developmental neurological conditions such as autism must study brain tissue. Already, research has revealed altered cell organization in brains affected by autism. This research can continue and progress only by increasing donations of this precious resource. Autism Speaks is working with its partnering brain bank in the UK to expand collections into other European countries.
From Sweden, we traveled to London and shifted our focus from scientific research to autism awareness. In recent years, Autism Speaks has led global awareness efforts through initiatives such as our Ad Council campaigns, World Autism Awareness Day, GAPH and Light it up Blue. The measurable success of these efforts has led to expanded partnerships with European organizations. During our London visit, this crystallized in a meeting with European parent organizations and other autism advocates.
Present at the meeting were representatives of Autism Europe (which includes over 80 member associations), Autistica, Autism France, the Celtic Nations Autism Partnership, London's Centre for Research in Autism and Education, the Hungarian Autism Society and Irish Autism Action. We spent the day learning about each other's campaigns and brainstorming ways to increase global autism awareness. Everyone was familiar with our Light it Up Blue initiative and were actively planning their increased participation in the year ahead. The overall feeling was that, together, we can accomplish so much more. We will continue exploring this fruitful partnership in the months ahead.
Next it was a short hop to Utrecht, in the Netherlands, at the invitation of Nederlandse Vereniging voor Autisme (NVA), the country's national autism organization. Its staff and members were eager to learn more about GAPH and our international awareness initiatives. Our team also took this opportunity to explore the development of a brain tissue bank in the Netherlands, to match our efforts in the UK and Sweden.
A highlight from this visit was the Netherlands National Autism meeting, the first national meeting of Dutch autism families and their research community. As special guests, we heard about Dutch research examining the relationship between genes and behavior, autism prevalence, nutrition, the elderly and autism, enabling technology and an intervention for young people with autism to help them understand sexuality. Over the next few weeks we will be inviting some of these researchers to describe their studies on our science blog.
There is much we can learn by working together with our European partners, and our visit was an important step in forging closer collaborations involving science and awareness. Goodbye for now; hejdå and dag to our Swedish and Dutch friends!

What can IBM do for OpenOffice.org?
By molini on Sep 11, 2007
We've seen a lot of news this month around OpenOffice.org and the StarOffice productivity suites.
In a press release issued yesterday, it was announced that IBM has officially joined the community to collaborate on the development of OpenOffice.org software. What is interesting about this is that IBM will be making initial code contributions that it has been developing as part of its Lotus Notes product, including accessibility enhancements, and will be making ongoing contributions to the feature richness and code quality of OpenOffice.org products supporting the ISO ODF standard.
Why is this important?
For several reasons. This agreement will spur more innovation and enhanced support for OpenOffice.org and ODF, particularly in the area of accessibility. In turn, the enhanced functionality will provide better support and further choice for organizations around the world that are moving to ODF.
One of the first things IBM is bringing to OpenOffice.org is an implementation of the new accessibility interface, IAccessible2.
IAccessible2 is essentially a port to Windows of the GNOME Accessibility interface that Sun brought to the open source GNOME community, and like that interface, it is becoming a standard under the stewardship of the Open Accessibility Group in the Linux Foundation.
Without something like IAccessible2 assistive technology products -- screen readers for the blind, screen magnifiers for users with low vision -- must reverse engineer applications in order to make them accessible; a particularly difficult, expensive, and brittle task that must be re-done with every new release of Windows or the application.
Now that two of the most popular screen readers (JAWS and WindowEyes) support IAccessible2, the majority of blind screen reader users on Windows will have very good, direct access to OpenOffice.org and ODF. This complements the access provided through the free, Sun ODF Plug-in to Microsoft Office, which allows Windows assistive technology users (as well as others) to read and write ODF through MS-Office, where their existing, reverse-engineered access exists. This in turn will make ODF more attractive to governments, which often require that the technology they purchase be accessible to all of its users, including the disabled.
IAccessible2 also complements excellent open source access solutions provided on UNIX platforms like Solaris, OpenSolaris, and Ubuntu.
Peter Korn has a great entry on his blog about Darragh Ó Héiligh, a blind Linux user in Ireland, who has just posted an audio introduction of Fedora Linux with Orca.
Futhermore, OpenOffice is free, open source, supports ODF and it ships with Solaris and most major Linux distributions as well as other popular file formats. What more can you ask for?
OpenOffice.org Conference
Developers, businesses, government representatives, and users will be convening at the annual OpenOffice.org Conference (OooCon) on September 19-21 in Barcelona, Spain. OOoCon is the premier annual event for all contributors interested in or working with OpenOffice.org. Representatives of all OpenOffice.org community projects will be on hand to participate and learn from the achievements of the past year, and to discuss how to meet new challenges. This year, OOoCon and OASIS will host a joint ODF Camp, focused on OASIS' ODF. Come to Barcelona and check it out.

VOLUME 7 NUMBER 4 NEW MOON OF THE SERVICEBERRY JUNE 15, 1977 Ronan-Pablo District Meeting Held A combined District Meeting for the Ronan/Pablo area showed a healthy majority of those voting supported a Council Water and Power Committee's action to reject a money offer by Montana Power Company. Fifteen people wanted MPC power lines to bypass the Reservation. Four wanted to negotiate. Others declined to vote. Although it started out small, about 35 people attended the meeting by the end. Experts hired by the Tribe figured it would save Montana Power Company $10 million dollars to route two 500,000 kilovolt lines through a designed Tribal Primitive Area on the South Fork of the Jocko rather than bypassing the Reservation. The Council's Water and Power Committee voted to turn down MPC's offer of $1 million dollars initially and $200,000 annually for 50 years plus an alternate offer of $300,000 for 50 years. One person expressed the opinion that if they went around the Bison Range, they can go around our primitive area. Many of the prople felt the offer was simply not enough. Councilman E.W. Morigeau claimed up to 24 miles of tribal land may be involved if settlement is made with Pack River. He felt a higher price could be negotiated.Ken Dupuis, of BIA Forestry, questioned whether the timbered land had been valued highly enough. He also noted that winding access and maintenance roads on the steep mountain could make a lot of land outside the right of way useless. He felt past power lines had practically been given away when compared with the production value of the land. continued 4 th of July Celebration Draws Nearer "This years 79th annual 4th of July Pow Wow will be bigger and better than ever." The Flathead Reservation Wide Pow Wow Committee has full control of this year's pow wow organization, and says that many improvements are being made to insure that our celebration is the best in the west. This is the second year under the Pow Wow Committee's direction, and they say they learned alot from last year's mistakes. This 4th of July Celebration will include more prize money for the contests; an easier time schedule so that everyone may enjoy all the aspects of the celebration; a larger, newly remodeled dance pavilion; more food concessions and arts & crafts booths; and exhibitions of traditional dances that are being revived. The five day celebration this year will honor "Blind Mose" Chouteau, who played a major part in helping the Pow Wow Committee revive some of the old dances and songs. Mose was not blind during boyhood. He gradually lost his sight after an eye injury at age 11. By age 25 he was totally blind. But, this did not stop him from being head drummer for 36 years. The Char-Koosta published his life's story last year in the July 1, 1976, issue.) Some of the elders have been practicing songs for the revival of five or six dances. Agnes and Louise Vanderburg have been teaching some of the young girls the "Scalp Dance." The "Scalp Dance" was performed by the women, who were dressed in men's clothing. After battles the men would return to camp with the scalps, which were tied on the end of a stick. The dance symbolizes the victory in battle, Johnny Arleee says that the symbol applys to today as well as yesterday, because many people have won hard fought battles, one of the biggest is alcohol today. A Kootenai Sub-Committee from Elmo has been working on the "Prairie Chicken" and the "Coffee" dances. Basil Lefthand, Madelyn Couture, Mary Lefthand and Sarah Bufton are committee members. The "Hoop Dance" will be featured along with many other intertribal exhibition dances. Those performing the "Hoop Dance" will receive $25 for their part in the exhibition dancing. Raffle tickets and Pow Wow booster buttons are still on sale, and may be purchased from any Pow Wow Committee member. Raffle prizes include a buffalo robe, beaded moccasins, pendleton blankets, shawls, and other various bead work andgifts.

Urban Forestry Permits
Urban forestry permits are issued for tree planting, tree pruning, tree removal/replacement in the public right of way. Permit requirements are based on specific site conditions and individual tree species. SDOT arborists review applications to ensure the health, preservation, and expansion of Seattle's urban forest. For more information, visit SDOT Urban Forestry Arborist Office or call 206-684-TREE (8733).
Do you need a permit?
Yes. You probably do need a permit if your proposed work involves planting (type 1A) or removing/replacing (type 1C) a tree. If you are applying for a tree pruning permit (type 1B), if the work includes pruning branches or roots that are larger than 2 inches or greater, a permit is required.
There are four Urban Forestry permit types with separate permit requirements. See the table below:
*Mobility impacts are any impediment to free travel on the City's rights-of-way. This includes pedestrians, bicycle travel, and vehicle travel. If there are mobility impacts with your project, these need to be described in full on your permit application. Depending on the location, extent of your work and the timing of your permit activities, a traffic control plan may be required.
Urban Forestry, along with SDOT Street Use, has adopted new Permit Application Forms.
Download the new Urban Forestry Permit Application Form
Or, you may fill out your application, scan it and email it to us via: email@example.com
Other permitting details:
Approved permits will include site-specific requirements and best management practices (BMPs) that must be followed for the duration of the project.
Your approved permit must be maintained at the work site at all times.
Tree Planting: See our tree planting procedures web page. If you are planting a tree in the planting strip, you will need to choose a tree from our approved planting list and follow the details on the linked page.
Tree Pruning: See our tree pruning web page. There are tree pruning guides in 7 languages offering the best practices for tree maintenance.
Tree Removal and Replacement: Street Trees must be protected and preserved unless the permit application for the removal and replacement has been approved. Exceptions to this requirement are allowed for emergency removal necessary for public safety. City of Seattle policy may require monetary compensation and/or a replacement for every tree permitted for removal. Tree replacement is required, as site conditions allow, using the same or similar species that provides the same level of tree canopy at maturity.
Contact the Arborist's Office for more information or if you have questions. email@example.com or 206-684-TREE(8733).

News 12's Chris Thomas got to test drive a brand new Lamborghini before it hit the market. (April 6, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, April 6, 2011
AUGUSTA---The Callaway Tour Van is in town, and we got a special treat when we stopped by. They put us behind the wheel of a brand new Lamborghini.
We had an opportunity to test drive the super expensive ride as they promoted their partnership with Callaway Golf.
"It's to really promote both brands and promote the technology that we're trying to improve together as a partnership,'" said Kelly Snyder, who works for the car company.
The two companies came together to work on carbon fiber technology.
Think of the Tour Van almost like a pit crew team for NASCAR drivers. The club fitting technicians check out the pro's swing and make any adjustments to ensure he feels comfortable with his clubs/swing before heading into Thursday's tournament. You'll get to experience the club-fitting technology and see how small adjustments make a huge impact on how the guys perform during the tournament.
The company says the Lamborghini is a "cool" incentive to stop by. The car will not be on the market for another month.

A water park meanders through a jungle garden and contains three terraced swimming pools, channels, little lagoons, waterfalls, a lazy river with float tubes, and a swim-up bar. A rope-and-wood suspension bridge, faux rock formations, and replicas of the former Rose Hall Plantation's aqueducts (whose ruins can be found elsewhere within the resort) are also in the jungle garden. Among the replicas is a sugar mill 9 meters (30 feet) high, providing access to an 85-meter (280-foot) serpentine waterslide. Other features include two secluded six-person spa tubs, one with waterfall.
Adjacent to the main building, a freeform pool 36.5 meters (120 feet) long contains a swim-up bar and children's sections connected by a channel. The resort's beach extends 914 meters (1000 yards) and provides calm-water swimming in most weather conditions. Pool decks and the beach are set with cushioned lounge chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas.

The resort also features six tennis courts (surcharges for night games). Play on the resort's 18-hole championship golf course, Cinnamon Hill Ocean Course, incurs a surcharge.

OCZ SSD Upgrade kit
Reviewed by R. Gordon. Review Posted 26/07/2013
Bought to migrate existing laptop HD to a Samsung SSD then to put the old HD in the enclosure to use as an external drive. Problem 1: OCZ HD enclosure extremely flimsy (just really a plastic hoop) and VERY tight fit. I imagine it could be broken very easily. Problem 2: the Acronis TrueImage software wouldn't boot - either on the laptop or on a desktop machine. Same error on each. Problem 3: Software is a special OEM version so no Acronis support. The Samsung SSD came with its own software, so used that instead. Problem 4: OCZ enclosure only allowed data transfer at USB 1.0 speed, ('time to complete' showed 49 hrs(!)). I put the SSD into another enclosure and transfer speed was fine - completed within 40 min. Looking closely at the OCZ unit I could see that the flow soldering was poor (solder bridges around the SM chip) presumably the cause of the problem? Problem 5: OCZ 'support' not interested. So: good value if not so shoddily made and if the software actually worked.

Trey Anastasio Band,
Tuesday, 06/18/2002
Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY
Set 1: Push On 'Til the Day, Money, Love and Change, Mozambique, Cayman Review, Last Tube
Set 2: Simple Twist Up Dave, Plasma, At the Barbeque, Mr. Completely, Night Speaks to a Woman, Ether Sunday, At the Gazebo[1]
Encore: Alive Again[2] -> Percussion Parade[2]
[1] With the Vermont Youth Orchestra String Quartet.
[2] With assorted percussionists and dancers.
Notes: "At the Gazebo" featured the Vermont Youth Orchestra String Quartet. During the break before the encore maracas and tambourines were passed out to the audience and a set of stairs was placed in front of the stage. During "Alive Again" approximately forty guests – including members of Cyro Baptista's Beat The Donkey ensemble, Brazilian dancers and other assorted percussionists and pranksters – joined Trey's band in what can perhaps best be described as a strange combination of two infamous Phish antics: the 10/22/96 MSG "Freakapaug" and the 5/27/94 "Shake your Macaroni" Possum. After the ending refrain and amid an audience-aided percussion jam, Trey led the entire entourage down the stairs in front of the stage, through the audience and onto 51st Street where a drum circle ensued, blocking midtown traffic for nearly half an hour.
Musicians: Trey Anastasio, Dave Grippo, Russell Remington, Peter Apfelbaum, Jennifer Hartswick, Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis, Ray Paczkowski, Cyro Baptista, Andy Moroz
