Picnic BlanketsA picnic is one of the most pleasant ways to have a meal out in nature. Eating al fresco may be a little more effort than preparing a meal in your camper, but the places you can go to set up are so beautiful. While it is a given that you will take along a basket or bag of food, you should also pack along a picnic blanket.
Picnic blankets differ from standard blankets in two ways. First, they are designed to fold up compactly and stay that way. Second, they usually have some sort of water resistant barrier on one side to keep moisture from rising up through the material. This ensures a dry and comfortable meal, since it really is no fun eating with a wet rear.
Don't forget your picnic blanket on your next picnic. It's well worth carrying.

So I, along with everyone else today, got forwarded this link which shows that Wikipedia has begun its journey from an edit-focused hive of activity, to read-only archive, as people stop editing the site.
As one of the larger "open" projects, it can point to possibilities in the future for other projects. It also mirrors smaller projects, and the history we discovered years ago. So, what does this tell us?
Perhaps it shows us that we haven't got anything left to write about! Actually, maybe the opposite is true—there's lots left to write about, but no one wants to do it. Maybe it's similar to the situation when many people stopped writing kernels and operating system tools and moved onto desktop applications; they'd exhausted their interest in that area, and moved onto other problems to solve.
In the Wikipedia case, they've usually stopped because either:
- They don't know any other subjects
- Someone will edit (or delete) their articles
Either way, it shows a limit that open developers reach within their community. In the first case, it demonstrates an ability plateau that while we're very good at Monty Python quotes, we're less forthcoming about our skills in medieval crochet!
The second case highlights a personality plateau where the editors, regulars, and die-hard Wikipedia fans have taken over the asylum. I've seen articles marked for deletion because they're not in Google (have these people never ventured outside into the real world?) or because they don't deem it important enough. For a site intended to contain all knowledge, I don't see how either approach can be used to achieve this goal. And who are they to consider it important enough? The last example I saw (names excluded to protect the guilty half-wits involved) caused the deletion of an industry publication by someone with no knowledge of the industry in question. When the opinions of an industry insider are quashed by a 17 year old Wikicrat zealot with too much time on their hands, it degenerates in territorial pissing wars that turn away all the casual contributors.
If these attitudes were prevalent in software development, the code would have either got forked, re-written, or left to rot. When buzz of the original dies, everyone moves onto other things. Oh I forgot, that already does happen...
Hasn't anyone learnt?
(And no, just don't get me started on the amount plagiarized work present there...
Good Analysis
I've been noticing that the revisions and deletions are becoming the bulk of what is on the top of the most edited lists on wikirage.
Don't read too much into
Don't read too much into this.
The statistics displayed show a decrease in the rate of growth of Wikipedia, not in the total volume of Wikipedia (which is still growing). That was bound to happen.
Wikipedia's growth rate over the first few years has been EXTRAORDINARY! Its doubling time was well under a year, right up to sizes which are unprecedented in the history of encyclopedias.
Had it continued to follow that growth curve, it would've exceeded Moore's Law growth of storage facilities, and eventually consumed all disk space on Earth sometime in the next two or three decades.
Now, obviously, SOMETHING has to start damping out that growth. Very possibly it is merely success -- nearly everything that contributors feel should be there is already there. So, at that point, activity slows down and moves on to improving existing articles. Some of those edits will be infuriating to users whose work is edited, leading to anecdotal stories about revert-happy admins. But as a general trend, it seems fairly natural.
I was very curious when this would start to happen -- now I guess we know. Which is interesting. But hardly a cause for panic, IMHO.
Self-limiting nature of WIKI
It's interesting to note that the likelihood of a contribution to a WIKI is greatest when the WIKI is empty. This is also when the likelihood of edits is lowest - there's simply not that much to edit. As the WIKI grows, contributions must slow down, if not because there is less to write about, at least because the reader and would-be contributor has an increasingly hard time discovering things that have not already been contributed. At the same time, editing rate goes up because there's so much more to edit.
Alarm signal
I think that these statistics are rather an alarm signal for Wikipedia. If I should say why I have stopped editing - it is because too many contributions and pages got deleted. If Wikiepdia looses momentum it will potentially die. Momentum is what drives a project. Maybe some believe Wikipedia already has most of the knowledge it could have - bnut I think it is missing most of the common knowledge of humanity - and yes I mean the knwledge that is already written down.
I have forseen exactly such thing happening. no community can survive such attacks. And I also see the point where Wikipedia will actually shrink and no longer grow. Which is fatal, because as soon as it is not growing and more in user numbers and content the content a lot of the content must be kept uptodate by fewer people. Which means that they cant really keep it uptodate because most content was driven by a much larger crowd.
I hope we see an alternative Wiki rising which start where Wikipedia has failed. I dont think Wikipedia will be able to revive itself - they already have come to the point where they are so bureaucrativ that they are not flexible any more. They have successfully killed the Wiki principles in Wikipedia. :-(

TIGERVILLE, S.C. -- Augusta State opened the 2012-13 regular season Saturday night with a 78-63 non-conference road win over North Greenville at Hayes Gymnasium.
Junior forward Jemimah Ashby paced the Lady Jaguars (1-0) with 24 points and senior guard Brittany White registered 15 points, nine steals, six rebounds and six assists. Junior Brooke McCants pitched in nine points and six boards, senior Taylor Ayers notched eight points and nine boards and senior Eryka Menzies added seven points.
With the victory, ASU improved to 2-1 in season openers under third-year head coach Nate Teymer.
The Lady Jags jumped ahead 8-2 in the first 3:36 of the contest before the Crusaders countered with 12 straight points to move in front 14-8. A jumper from Ayers forced a 14-all tie before NGU scored five straight. An Ashby jumper at the 5:32 mark of the first half pulled ASU even at 20-all and the Lady Jags outscored NGU 15-7 over the final 3:31 for a 37-29 halftime advantage.
Augusta led by as much as 12 following an Ashby free throw 4:23 into the second half. The Crusaders closed within three of the lead with 5:58 remaining before the Lady Jags rattled off a 9-0 spurt in a span of 2:25 to pull away.
ASU, which shot 42.9 percent overall, owned the rebounding edge, 44-40 and forced 36 turnovers.
The Lady Jags return to action on Thursday, Nov. 15 when they travel to Carrollton, Ga., to take on West Georgia at 7:00 p.m., in The Coliseum on the UWG campus.

North Port water plant to open Friday
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
NORTH PORT - City water here has long been hard to love.
WHAT: "Viva el Agua!," the grand opening of North Port's new reverse osmosis water treatment facility.
WHEN: 10 a.m. Friday
WHERE: Myakkahatchee Water Treatment Plant, 5755 North Port Blvd., North Port.
WHAT: After a ribbon cutting, guided tours will be offered. Closed-toed shoes are recommended.
Several activities will tie into the state's Viva Florida theme in recognition of the 500th anniversary of Juan Ponce de Leon's exploration of the peninsula.
Representatives from the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Mote Marine Lab, Oscar Scherer State Park, Little Salt Spring, the Royal Order Ponce de Leon Conquistadors and other organizations will participate.
It tastes bad, residents complain, and it leaves stains on dishes.
"It's just a very hard water," said Jessica Lawrence, customer service coordinator for North Port Utilities.
But the city hopes such complaints will be put to rest, starting Friday when North Port officially opens its new water treatment plant.
The plant will use semi-permeable membranes to filter out sulfate and dissolve minerals and organics that, during the dry season, are in the water that the city pumps out of Myakkahatchee Creek.
Improved water quality may pay another dividend, city officials hope: persuading more residents to hook up to the water system. North Port, with a population of around 60,000 has only 18,000 water customers. Most residents get their water from wells.
Better-tasting water may cause more households to want to connect with the city system, Lawrence said.
Currently, the city is operating its new reverse-osmosis water system for five hours a day. But, as water already in the pipelines gets replaced and the new facility becomes more active, more people are likely to notice an improved taste.
The city plans to survey about 30,000 residents who are not on its water system and ask if they would now like to connect.
The $9.5 million in upgrades at the plant include the big ticket item of the $8.9 million reverse-osmosis system, plus six wells and a new surface water intake system on the Cocoplum Waterway (a canal connected to the creek).
City utility funds and grants from the Southwest Florida Water Management District and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency paid for the project.
North Port customers typically consume 3 million gallons of water daily.
Aside from the creek and Cocoplum Waterway, the city's water sources include the Peace River Water Authority's reservoirs and, seasonally, Sarasota County's wellfields.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have been moving away from a Democracy for quite some time now. We have become or are becoming a Corporatocracy a system of government where corporations, conglomerates, and/or government entities with private components, control the direction and governance of a country, including carrying out economic planning notwithstanding the 'free market' label. As soon as Unions are abolished and there is a movement underfoot to do that, we will all be in very deep dodo. Additionally, Wall Street is basically a casino playing with not only the little guy's hard earned money but that of the world we live in. We are in an awful mess no matter what they decide to do Aug 2.
Primary tabs
Do you think Congress will raise the U.S. debt ceiling by August 2?
11 Comments
If the ultra rich would pay thire part and i mean more than that because they steal it from us anyway and close the loop holes and let the little people keep more after all we spend it and they hord it.
Energy Guy I agree with you 100%. Congress has to get its proverbial head out of its rectum and cut spending. They are addicted to the public treasury and spend OUR money like there is an unending supply. It doesn't matter who the president is the problem is with Congress. They control the purse strings not the president but they sit back and blame whoever the president is for the mess that they created. They sound like a bunch of four year olds who are caught with their hands in the cookie jar and try to blame it on their sibling.
I think the Congress will set a short term debt ceiling, however I do not think they will stick to it. After all they haven't stuck to anything yet.
Interest on the debt is over 400 billion a year which 1.1 billion a day. Has any one thought about paying off the debt?
We borrow 4.3 Billion a day, every day. We could buy 2 and 1/2 space shuttles a day. Think about that. Then ask, who is trying to get the debt clock to start running backwards? Every Dem and quite a few Rep want to keep spending. The Rep bill will add 9.5 Trillion in 10 yr. Debt will be $24,000,000,000,000.00 You don't want to know what the Dem bill will add. When will the spending stop if not now?
I think the current rationale in the Congress and Senate is to do whatever they can do to make the President look bad. They do not seem to care about the American people at all. I do believe that spending should be curtailed but I also believe that the rich people should pay their fair share.
The debt ceiling has nothing to do with jobs in the private sector economy. This country has a spending problem, not a revenue problem so it's absolutely unnecessary to increase anyone's taxes in this issue. Cutting spending by the same amount as the ceiling increase is the only sane, responsible thing to do here. Even if the ceiling is reached, there is enough money coming in each month to cover SS, Medicare, Medicaid and active military pay so all this chatter is nothing but a scare tactic. This Administration has not passed a budget in almost 900 days, i.e., since it took office. This is a shame and a disgrace, as it shows a dereliction of duty. Raise the ceiling, cut spending by the same amount, and then pass a budget with large spending cuts next year so this doesn't become a recurring problem. All Legion members should make it a point to educate themselves in basic economics as well. There IS NO FREE LUNCH, period.
all the presidents as raised the debt ceiling,g bush 13 time bill Clinton 7 time
Unfortunately, the biggest stubbling block to getting anything done are those members of both Houses that put their number one priority as making sure that Obama is a one term president and they are doing at the cost of the country, the people and in direct conflict with what needs to be done to put people to work. They have sworn thier allegience and taken oaths to groups in contradiction to their oaths of office.
Instead of being angry,you need to understand this is done for last years bills. not this year. so we need to ok it and move on to the next budget. and the new budget should have cuts and get rid of tax loopholes. this will not help get people jobs. jobs is the key to getting us out of this mess. people can't buy,noone hires,simple as that.

Rex Reed, film critic for the New York Observer, called Melissa McCarthy a "female hippo" in his review of "Identity Thief."
Wow. Rex Reed is kind of like the Donald Trump of movie critics.
Not only did he give the film a bad review, but he seemed a bit obsessed with McCarthy's weight, also referring to the "Bridesmaids" star as "tractor-sized," and a "humongous creep."
He also wrote "Melissa McCarthy is a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success,"
He should be careful. I imagine that "tractor-sized" woman could beat the stuffing out of him.
"Identity Theft" also stars Jason Bateman.
Not surprisingly, Reed quickly drew scorn for his remarks. The Observer review's comment section was filled with comments blasting Reed's review. And on Twitter, actors Chad Lowe and Marlee Matin, writer and film critic Richard Roeper and writer Patricia Cornwall -- among others -- also ripped Reed's comments, with many noting that he has a history of such remarks.
SWIFT, UNDERWOOD HATE EACH OTHER: Taylor Swift will likely avoid Carrie Underwood at the Grammys as if her rival's last name was Mayer.
Or Gyllenhaal ... or Kennedy ... or Lautner ... or Jonas ... or Styles ... or ...
You get the idea.
A source told Us Weekly the singers are bitter enemies who plan to avoid each other at Sunday's Grammy Awards. According to the insider, Grammy execs were ordered to keep Swift, 23, and Underwood, 29, "from crossing paths" at the Feb. 10 show "since they hate each other."
Actually, it would be a much better show if they did just the opposite.
A friend of Swift's told the Us, "Taylor feels Carrie is always rude to her, so she steers clear of her."
A Grammy rep said "No requests were received from either artist."
The feud could have intensified at the Country Music Association Awards in November, when co-hosts Underwood and Brad Paisley mocked Swift's relationship with Conor Kennedy.
"The greatest trade of the year had to be the Kennedy family. They somehow traded Arnold Schwarzenegger for Taylor Swift," Paisley said about Swift dating the 65-year-old bodybuilder's nephew through marriage. "I mean, what they got for that . . ."
Underwood interrupted him, pointing out that the pair had just broken up.
"What? Why don't I ever hear about these things? I'm the last one to know," Paisley said. "Are they ever gonna get back together?"
"Never, never, never," Underwood replied, referencing Swift's No. 1 hit single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. "Never ever."
That's actually pretty funny.
Swift is set to open the Grammys show at L.A.'s Staples Center Sunday.
JOHN MAYER COMES CLEAR -- "I WAS A JERK": John Mayer is a jerk. He even said so.
In a new interview with CBS "Sunday Morning" airing this weekend, the 35-year-old musician admits that he "was just a jerk" in the past and that "it's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you," according to the Huffington Post.
The singer-songwriter, who's said he's "quite happy" with current girlfriend Katy Perry, has a history of putting his foot in his mouth, especially when it comes to his sex life. He famously compared ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson to "sexual napalm," slammed Taylor Swift for her song "Dear John," allegedly about their relationship, and once dropped the N-word in trying to explain his relationship to the black music community.
"I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down," he told Rolling Stone about Swift in June 2012. "I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"
Well, at least she does the same thing to all her other ex-boyfriends.
Mayer said he's come to peace about his public perception. "I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction."
The interview runs at 9 a.m. on CBS Sunday Morning.
JOHN NOBLE COULD BE CAST AS "STAR WARS" BAD GUY: Because facing three whole years without the "Star Wars" franchise re-launching suddenly sounds like a frighteningly long time, the Internet will explode unless we can keep pulling barely-founded stories about who's going to do what in the new films.
Thursday, a website called io9 -- which might be the name of a robot -- said that John Noble, who plays Walter Bishop on "Fringe," is being considered to be the big villain in "Star Wars: Episode VII." J.J. Abrams is directing the next "Star Wars," and he also created "Fringe," so there's already a connection.
Noble also played Denethor, the crazy Steward of Gondor in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. So he already has plenty of experience dealing with sci-fi nerds accosting him on the street and asking him to talk in character.
McCREADY'S FATHER HAD HER COMMITTED: Mindy McCready's father was the one who had the country star committed this week, as the singer was allegedly abusing alcohol and not taking adequate care of her kids since her boyfriend David Wilson died of an apparent suicide last month.
E! News obtained the petition filed Thursday by Tim McCready that resulted in the singer being placed in a treatment center for up to three weeks of mental health and substance abuse evaluations.
"Since boyfriend (David Wilson) shot himself she has been in bed for 3 wks," wrote the elder McCready. "Sleeps all day. Drinks all night and is taking Rx drugs. Not bathing or even helping take care of her 2 children."
The Department of Human Services removed McCready's sons, 6-year-old Zander and 9-month-old Zayne, from her Arkansas home on Thursday.
"Screams about everything," Tim McCready also wrote. "Trying to hit father. Is not making any sense of an conversations with anyone. Very verbally abusive to Zander (6) son."
The judge wrote "there is ... clear and convincing evidence that Respondent is in imminent danger of harm to herself or others, suicidal or gravely disabled."
According to E! News, the filing notes McCready previously received treatment at Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute in Nashville.
The commitment comes a week after McCready's ex-husband Billy McKnight filed several motions in family court expressing concern over McCready's parental fitness and requesting full custody of their son Zander.

NHL has best names in the business. Nicknames, that is
In this June 3, 2013, file photo, Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby (87) prepares for a face off during the second period of Game 2 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Bruins in Pittsburgh. The NHL has the best names in the business. Nicknames, that is. Little Ball of Hate. The Great One. Tazer. Bicksy. Crosby is known as the "Sid the Kid." (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, File) by Nancy Armour CHICAGO (AP) — The best names in the NHL are the ones that never make the roster. Or get used by Mom. Tazer. Little Ball of Hate. The Great One. Sid the Kid. Looch (who also goes by Gino). The Bulin Wall. Kells. "There's always someone, or a few guys, that want to call you different things," said Chicago Blackhawks left wing Brandon Saad, dubbed "The ManChild" by his teammates. "I guess it's just part of the camaraderie of the sport and the guys being close. I'm not really sure of the exact science."

"Grandfather" Chief George Remembers Missoula— The lovable "grandfather" from the movie "Little Big Man" is as impressive in real life as he is on the screen. Chief Dan George, greeted in Missoula Tuesdav by Flathead War Dancers, the Biackfeet Young Grey Horse Dancing and Singing Society and local officials, was in Western Montana to address the Indian Law Conference held at the U of M Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. At an evening banquet held in the Bitterroot Room of the Florence Hotel, Chief George said he had been traveling around visiting Indian Reservations for the past few years and said that he always felt better around real Indian people. He said he was glad to see Indians coming together to talk about mutual problems and offered a traditional Sioux prayer to dedicate the event and contradict the statement that Indians were savages and heathens. (Continued on page 2) Judgements Affect Commodities There is a new hitch in the food commodities program. The per capita (judgement payments recieved yearly) this month are being considered "windfalls" by state and federal food commodities regulatory officials. This means, according to Department of Agriculture consultant, Ray Carlyle, that as long as the judgement payments remain in the form of liquid assets, they may be judged as a resource and affect the eligibility of commodity recipients. According to Carlyle, the state permissible level of financial resources is $1,000 per person or $1,500 per couple. He said that the recent payments, which amounted to $3,955.15, would be counted as resources and, unless (Continued on page 9) PubUshed By The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Dixon, Montana 59831 CHAR-KOOSTA Vol. 2, No. 2 19ih, Moon of the Blooming Bitterroot PRICE 10c WEEK OF POW WOWS IN MISSOULA New Views On Indian Laws Missoula—Some 200 Indian Delegates from western states attended a three day Law Conference of Montana at the University of Montana. Among those sitting on panels at the Indian Law Seminar were Bureau of Indian Affairs Claims specialist John Vance, Indian Water Rights attorney William Beeder and John McDermott, Assistant Professor of Law and Director of Indian legal studies at the University of Montana. (See page for a detailed account of confernece by Gerry Brown.) KYI-YO Panalists Discuss Rights Missoula— Bureau of Indian Affairs Water Rights Specialist William Veeder told Indian delegates at the University of Montana May 4, that "the dominant society is taking from the Indian people the basis for their survival. Veeder told those assembled for the Kyi-Yo Indian Youth Conference that water rights have become the most important issue on reservations today. "Lose your water rights and you lose your reservation," he Wheeler Innocent Missoula— Joe Wheeler's Evero hill smokehsop was back in business last week end after a firm jurisdictional victory in Missoula County Justice Court. Justice of the Peace J. G. Lamoreaux decided that the county did not have jurisdiction in cases involving state tax laws on the Flathead reservation. Immediately after Lamoreaux, a Sioux tribal member, pronounced Wheeler innocent, county officials took their case to Justice John Moon's court. Moon dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. Wheeler's Missoula attorney, Marvin Ping, argued* that the state's jurisdiction on the reservation did not include tax laws. He told the court that "we have here a case in tax law, civil law. The State is seeking to tax an Indian's property on lands held in trust." Following Justice Lamoreaux's decision, Missoula County Attorney Robert Deschamp and Chief tax counsel to the State Department of Revenue, Edward Bell, said they would probably try to take the four month squabDle to District Court Deschamp added, however, that the county would probably not continue its harassment of Wheeler. The tribe is also interested in clearing up the tax question and has filed an injunction against Missoula County Sheriff John Moe and Lake County Sheriff Bill Phillips to head off any further harassment of tribal members. (Continued on Page 3) warned. Calling Montana "the cradle of Indian water rights," he urged the state's Indians to quickly assert their legal jurisdiction over reservation waters. He said that there are already dangerous indications that government agencies are getting their fingers into the watershed of Indian waters on the Fort Belknap, Crow, Black-feet and Flathead Reservations.

|Weighting Patiently
I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 11, 2013
HEPHZIBAH, Ga. (WRDW) -- Monday's rain flooded some neighbors with worries that they'll be stranded yet again. The only paved access to hundreds of homes is Patterson Bridge Road, but on Friday, the main bridge washed out.
It later reopened on Monday, but it's just a temporary fix and the frustration seems to be permanent. Neighbors say the detour they had to use was dangerous and that they think it's just a matter of time before they have to deal with this muddy mess again.
"You can just tell since I've been out here for two years it's needed repairs," said Stephanie Richardson, who lives off Patterson Bridge Road.
On Friday afternoon, the main bridge -- and the only paved access to her home and the homes of many others -- was washed out by the rain.
"In my opinion, they never should have let the bridge get this bad in the first place," Richardson said.
In order to get the bridge back open on Monday, they filled it with rocks, dirt and gravel. They say this is just a temporary fix, but they're hoping to have a permanent one within the next two months.
Over the weekend, Richardson and hundreds of others were left with only a dirt road to travel on after the rain.
"We haven't had mail run since Thursday afternoon. The buses were 30 to 45 minutes late -- if somebody was to get hurt or have a heart attack or anything, EMS, service firetrucks, anything, they would be detoured at least 15 to 20 minutes. It's just not safe," Richardson explained.
"I actually didn't take my daughter to school this morning on time because I knew the road was gonna be impassable," said Megan Waters, who lives nearby.
"It's about 15 miles out of my way, but the worst part is it's about 2 and a half miles of dirt road, which is red Georgia clay, which is now very wet and slippery and potholes galore," said neighbor Jim Allen.
The city says that was its only option.
"Nine times out of 10, you have several options where you can actually do a detour. In this case, we only had one other option and that was the dirt road," said Abie Ladson, director of Engineering for Augusta-Richmond County.
The people who live there say that's a problem.
"The city needs to figure out another option for us," Richardson said. "There's a lot of people that live out here and this just wasn't fair."
"Given that that's the only route, it's kinda opened our eyes up now. OK, maybe there's something that we need to look at as far as that being the only access, so when that happens, of course, you're gonna look at that," Ladson said.
The bridge washed out on Friday. While they were trying to fix that, they found a void underneath the bridge that then collapsed so they had to close is down.
The people who live there say they were frustrated that they didn't see any crews out there all weekend. The city says they were drawing up the plans for the temporary bridge but not seeing any visible work done was frustrating for those people who felt stranded.

Definition of stereotype in English:
1A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing: the stereotype of the woman as the carer sexual and racial stereotypes
More example sentences
- A person in this stage also participates in transforming racial and cultural stereotypes, biases, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors.
- I think it transcends the ideas, stereotypes and societal expectations of what it means to be a man or a woman.

1.1A person or thing that conforms to a stereotypical image: don't treat anyone as a stereotype
More example sentences
- But the characters are mostly one-dimensional stereotypes with little engaging depth.
- "Yet I'm not a stereotype of a Muslim woman," she says.
- This is a dramatist whose art consists of little more than pulling a string of cliches from a cast of stereotypes in an utterly contrived setting.
verb[with object]

More example sentences
- People just do not understand the issues, or have stereotyped views of how a lesbian or gay man behaves and use it as a basis to criticise their lifestyle.

hackneyed, clichéd, cliché-ridden, banal, trite, unoriginal;
- Example sentences

- The flatness and distance of their testimony is partly an artifact of using an interpreter, but education, class, and culture operate to homogenize them into stereotypic depictions.
- The fact of the matter is that these stereotypic caricatures remind all of us of the awful stereotypic caricatures which were common in the U.S. South in the early part of the 20th century.
stereotypically adverb
- Example sentences
- And so men are stereotypically the upholders of a false reason, because in this society they are powerful so they need some sort of rationale.
- Homosexuals are treated so stereotypically in this film.

Plenty of people were calling out Yzerman and Co. for not including Green and Stamkos after losing to the U.S., but such derision is without base.
"To the people across Canada, we tried. We gave it our best. To the people who booed us, geez, all of us guys are really disheartened. We're disillusioned and disappointed.

Can you guess who is the USA's all-time leading Olympic scorer?; Kudos to Jack Johnson; and a run-in with the Sedins.
Did you know the all-time leading goal-scorer for the USA at the Olympics was actually born in Midland, Ont? Herbert Drury, who played for the Americans at the 1920 and 1924 Olympic Games (and who is a relative of mine) was born in 1895 and began his hockey career with Midland of the Ontario Senior League in 1914 and he played in that league until the 1916-17 season, when he moved to Pittsburgh.

Don Waddell's latest deal - Lehtonen to Dallas for Vishnevskiy - is another example of how this franchise has failed to develop.
We all recognize how important it is to build through the draft, especially in an age where teenagers make the direct leap more than ever. If you're a team like the Atlanta Thrashers, who can't afford to fill front-line roster spots through free agency, the draft is all the more important to keep the team competitive.

A team that was expected to win now is doing everything in its power to do just that - but at what cost?
The Philadelphia Flyers traveled to Calgary to take on the Flames Monday night. The game was dreadful. It was utterly plain and lacked the intensity you'd expect from two teams fighting for their playoff lives.

With a penchant for making a big splash in the trade market, the cap room to sign him, and depth in the system, the Avs have the tools to swing a trade.
I never like coming up with trade possibilities because the attempts are futile and the unexpected always happens, but I can't get this thought out of my head.

San Jose's grit-guys will make a difference this spring... Why Burrows doesn't get respect... and there's no need for a head-shot rule.
Sure they have a great amount of star power, but the San Jose Sharks have some other interesting pieces that will be integral to a playoff run.

From his days in St. Louis, to his upset in Edmonton, to his move to Toronto, Curtis Joseph provided a treasure trove of memorable moments.
The earliest memory I have of being a hockey fan (though I know I watched before that) involves a dash to the television, flicking on Pittsburgh-Minnesota (because the Cup could be won that night) and enthusiastically getting pumped up by the old – and the real – Hockey Night in Canada Theme Song.
by Rory Boylen - January 5, 2010 2:15 PM UTC
With injuries running rampant through the NHL it's worth discussing who should be first to step in if somebody goes down.
Since there are no taxi squads for the Olympic teams this time around – replacements for injured players can be added anytime between now and the start of the tournament – all we can do is speculate and debate about who Canada's first call-up should/will be.

The WJC is great, but there's another historic holiday hockey tournament that's worth watching.
There's no doubt in my mind the best hockey tournament to watch over the holidays is the world juniors. It's some of the best hockey on television all year long with exuberant, fast-paced action showcasing the NHL players of tomorrow.

With a new owner and a stable, quality team pushing for a playoff spot, fans in Phoenix finally have something to smile about.
Reports of the Coyotes demise have been greatly exaggerated. Off the ice, a new owner will soon be in place, one who is not seeking an out-clause in a handcuffing lease that has 26 years remaining on it.
by Rory Boylen - December 8, 2009 10:35 AM UTC
The names honored on the NHL's trophies are there for a reason and shouldn't be changed just because their origins are a distant memory.
What is with the incessant cry for change in this game? The latest needless cause is to re-name the trophies given out to the NHL's best at the end of the season.
by Rory Boylen - December 1, 2009 12:00 PM UTC
Injuries in Buffalo have forced extra responsibilities amongst their young blueliners, but players like Chris Butler are holding the fort.
As surprising as it is to have a gangly rookie Tyler Myers currently setting the time-on-ice pace for the Sabres, the fact 23-year-old Chris Butler is the only other 20-minute player on the team is an equal eye-opener.

Mark Purdy's fearless forecast for the NFL, 2013.
Oakland Raiders record/finish): 5-11, last place in AFC West. Nation will soon learn what rest of us know: This is the least rebuilt of rebuilding teams.
49ers record: 10-6, second place NFC West. Will still make the playoffs but ride won't be as glorious as the last two seasons.
Raiders QB with most starts: Terrelle Pryor. Raiders have to find out if he might possibly be their next playoff quarterback. He might turn out not to be. But from the evidence, no one else on the roster is.
Colin Kaepernick, Touchdowns & Turnovers: 32 and 12. My over-under on running touchdowns is eight. And with no Crabtree around until December (maybe), No. 7 will have to take more chances -- which will lead to more interceptions.
More Yards, Frank Gore or Darren McFadden: McFadden. Look, the guy has to have a healthy season one of these years. And if he does, he'll get more beaucoups carries in that offense. Gore's work will be rationed to keep him sound for postseason.
Raiders blackouts: 5. If Yogi Berra were a football fan, he'd say: "Not even the tarps will stop people from staying away."
Surprise team: Philadelphia Eagles Until opponents adjust, Chip Kelly's offense will have some teams very flustered. And without expectations, Eagles will soar.
Disappointing team: Washington Redskins This franchise makes a habit of stumbling when it counts. Plus, the whole RGIII drama involving his knee will haunt and distract.
First coach fired: Jason Garrett, Cowboys. Every coach in Dallas is just a phone call away from unemployment in the Jerry Jones era.
Super Bowl: Houston Texans over New York Giants. Just a hunch. Two good organizations, enough talent to get through the playoff gauntlet if other teams (say, the 49ers and Seahawks) beat up each other along the way.

Cool feature on how the 2012 Steelers were assembled.
2012 NFL How Assembled Charts
Interesting. This team really is getting young and it's a little scary how the stars on this team are mostly at the top of the chart and are getting so old.
That link was dead when I tried it. Is this what it was: http://www.profootballrosters.com/20...-depth-chart/?
They publish this in Steelers Digest every so often. What I don't understand is the difference between the 10 free agents and the 4 unrestricted free agents (seems like those should be combined together)...I realize why there is a need to distinguish among players we drafted, college free agents, unrestricted free agents, restricted free agents, players we claimed off waivers, and players we traded for, but I don't see the need for that extra column simply marked "free agents"...looks like the unrestricted free agents were signed before the draft, and the free agents were signed after the draft...that's the only difference that I could come up with.

EAGLE COUNTY - District Attorney Mark Hurlbert is taking some heat for his decision to charge hit-and-run suspect Martin Erzinger with two misdemeanors rather than a felony. Hurlbert has received over 1,000 e-mails since news broke last week that he offered the plea bargain to Erzinger for in Edwards.
There's also an online petition with more than 6,000 signatures being circulated to tell Hurlbert to keep the felony charge against Erzinger, and the case is receiving national media attention from shows like CBS's "Inside Edition." Milo and his attorney, Harold Haddon, had asked that Erzinger plead to a felony with a deferred judgment, Hurlbert said.With that, Erzinger would plead guilty to a felony, and as long as he met the conditions it would drop off his record in two to four years."They felt this was the best way for Mr. Erzinger to acknowledge the crime," Hurlbert said.Hurlbert disagrees, pointing out that Erzinger was not found to be using alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident, and that he has no criminal record.The two misdemeanor counts each carry up to a year in county jail, and he loses his drivers license for up to a year, Hurlbert said."At this point, the two misdemeanors are the best plea bargain given his lack of (criminal) history," Hurlbert said.A felony count - leaving the scene of an accident causing serious bodily injury - was on the table earlier, but it's not part of the plea agreement, Hurlbert said."We cannot renege on a plea agreement once it's offered," Hurlbert said. "The only one who can reject it is the judge."Erzinger has also told prosecutors he's willing to pay a "significant amount of restitution," Hurlbert said.Milo retained Haddon, arguably one of the most influential attorneys in the western United States. Pamela Mackey and Haddon successfully represented Kobe Bryant when the NBA star was fighting sexual assault charges in Eagle County."You see victims retain attorneys more and more," Hurlbert said. "Some could be contemplating possible civil action. Others are working to protect the victim's rights."Community Editor Lauren Glendenning contributed to this story.

9.4-1 Criminal Trespass in the First Degree -- § 53a-107 (a) (1) and (4)
Revised to December 1, 2007
Note: Subsection (a) (1) concerns buildings and other premises and subsection (a) (4) concerns public land. Tailor the instruction accordingly.
The defendant is charged [in count __] with criminal trespass in the first degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of criminal trespass in the first degree when, knowing that such person is not licensed or privileged to do so, such person (enters / remains)1 (in a building or any other premises / on public land) after an order (to leave / not to enter) personally communicated to such person by (the owner of the premises or other authorized person / an authorized official of the state or municipality, as the case may be).
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Entered or remained
The first element is that the defendant (entered / remained) (in a building or any other premises / on public land).
[<If trespass to a building is alleged:> Ordinarily, "building" implies a structure that may be entered and used by human beings, as a residence or for business, or for other purposes involving occupancy by people, whether or not it is actually entered and used as such. <Insert one or both of the following parts of the definition as appropriate:>
The law has expanded this definition to include, in addition to what we ordinarily know as a building, any watercraft, aircraft, trailer, sleeping car, railroad car, other structure or vehicle or any building with a valid certificate of occupancy.
The statutory definition also provides that where a building consists of separate units, such as, but not limited to separate apartments, offices or rented rooms, any unit not occupied by the defendant is, in addition to being a part of such building, a separate building. In other words, any one of these separate units, separately secured or occupied, when intruded upon, may be considered a "building," plus the whole building is considered a "building" for purposes of any unlawful intrusion into any part of it.]
You must also determine whether the defendant unlawfully (entered / remained) (in the building / on public land). A person unlawfully (enters / remains) (in a building / on public land) when (he/she) is not licensed or privileged to do so. To be "licensed or privileged," the defendant must either have consent from (the owner of the premises or other authorized person / an authorized official of the state or municipality) or have some other right to be (in the building / on the land).
[To "enter" a building the intruder need not necessarily place (his/her) entire body inside the building. Inserting any part of (his/her) body, or an implement or weapon held by (him/her), within the building is sufficient to constitute an entry as long as it is without license or privilege. It does not matter how an intruder may actually have entered; if (he/she) did so without license or privilege, (he/she) has entered unlawfully.]
[A person may have entered the (building / public land) lawfully, that is, (he/she) had the right or had been given permission, but that right is terminated or the permission withdrawn by someone who had a right to terminate or withdraw it. You may find that the defendant "unlawfully remained" (in the building / on the land) under these circumstances.]
Element 2 - With knowledge
The second element is that the defendant knew that (he/she) was not privileged to do so. A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or circumstances when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstances exist. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>
Element 3 - After order
The third element is that the defendant had been ordered (to leave / not to enter), and the order had been personally communicated to the defendant by (the owner or other authorized person / an authorized official of the state or municipality).2
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (entered / remained) (in / on) <identify the building or land>, 2) (he/she) knew that (he/she) was not licensed or privileged to do so, and 3) an order to not (enter / remain) (in / on) <identify the building or land> had been personally communicated to (him/her) by <identify authorized person>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
criminal trespass in the first degree, then you shall find the defendant
guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.
1 Do not instruct on both "unlawful entering" and "unlawful remaining" if the information and the evidence could support a conceptual distinction between the two. See "enters or remains unlawfully" in the glossary.
2 State v. Vlasak, 52 Conn. App. 310, 316-17, appeal dismissed, 252 Conn. 228 (2000) (authorized person may transfer authority to police); State v. LoSacco, 12 Conn. App. 172, 174-75 (1987) (no evidence that authority had been transferred to police).
This statute protects any possessor of land, whether titleholder or not, from intrusions by unwanted persons. State v. Delgado, 19 Conn. App. 245, 254 (1989).
A tenant cannot be considered an
''owner'' with respect to an order to leave the premises for purposes of §
53a-107 unless the record reveals that the owner or an agent of the landlord
conferred authority on the tenant, thereby permitting the tenant to prevent
someone from being on the premises. State v. Bell, 55 Conn. App.
475, 486, cert. denied, 252 Conn. 908 (1999), overruled on other grounds,
State v. Moulton, 310 Conn. 337, 356 (2014).

'Orange Is the New Black,' Season 2, Episode 12: TV Recap
Another episode, another lesson in Why You Should Never Trust Vee.
Last episode ended with a botched assassination attempt on the leader of Litchfield's fledgling heroin ring when a 79-year-old from the Golden Girls crew thinks she's stabbing Vee, but instead attacks another black inmate. Apparently she just has terrible eyesight.
"You want to assassinate someone vision is a basic requirement," Red says. Good note.
One of the other Golden Girl's suggests they spin the incident as an intentional "warning shot" – and indication that something worse is coming if things don't change. So that's the plan.
The storm that began brewing last episode makes landfall in Episode 12. The inmates are stacking sandbags and taping up Litchfield's windows. Poussey continues to hold strong against Vee. She can't believe that Janae, back from solitary after taking the fall for the cigarette ring, is once again back in with Vee's evil crew. "Something's going to [eff] with you. The system, the man, Vee… can't do nothing about it. At least Vee gives you back 10%," Janae explains. Poussey, unconvinced, decides to double down and break into the store room and stomps on the heroin supply, dumping Clorox all over it. Bold move.
Figueroa meets with her account who has noticed some "irregularities" on the books. She shuts him up by inviting him to a fundraiser for her would-be state senator husband. Former Giants running back Tiki Barber might be there.
Daya starts to warm up to Bennett after giving him the cold shoulder for days, but she's still frustrated. She offers him an ultimatum: Come clean about everything or leave her alone. He could confess and do his time and then when they're both out of prison in a few years they'd raise the child together. Or, he could walk away and pretend the whole thing never happened. No hard feelings. "I wouldn't blame you, this whole mess is on Mendez," she says. Bennett will ruminate on this and hopefully reveal his decision in the finale.
Vee decides to "neutralize" the Poussey situation by simply kicking Taystee out of the group, which you'd think maybe Taystee would take as a relief but she doesn't. "You said you would protect me!" Taystee cries. "You said it was you and me together!" In this week's flashback's we learn that Vee has almost never held true to her word (not shocking) and she was in fact the orchestrator of R.J.'s death (somewhat shocking).
Oh and also, Vee had sex with R.J., the young man she raised like a son/heroin dealing underling. It's all pretty gross. R.J. grew up worshipping Vee as a mother figure but wants to go into business for himself a little. Vee finds out and is furious. First, she shows up to his apartment to tell him she's onto him. He offers to give her a percentage. She pretends that's a fair trade-off – and then proceeds has sex with him. (Poussey telling Vee she was like a pedophile last week was prescient.)
While the two lay in bed, she sends him on an errand to fetch her a Bomb Pop. While walking to get the ice cream, he's met by a police officer who we've learned is one of Vee's informants. The officer tosses the young man a gun and then shoots him, radioing into other officers that it was in self-defense.
Figueroa, busy scheming with her husband to siphon funds from the prison, is also trying to get pregnant. "You gotta play dirty if you wanna win!" he tells her. I'd say these scenes where they verbally lay out their crimes feel a little hard to believe but the Blagojevich bribery tapes were nearly as overt.
Later, Vee confronts Red. "The message I got was that you want a ware but you bungled the first shot," she says. Hitting Red where she knows it hurts her the most, she threatens her son, telling her she knows where he lives and then spouting off his address. She also taunts Red about her "broken ribs and punctured lung" from the last time Vee attacked her. Red spits in her face.
As the storm intensifies, prisoners gather their mattresses in the rec room, clustered into the usual racial tribes. Nicky and Piper have to wade in waist-high water to find the water pumps and then learn they were never installed. Just then, the power cuts out.
At Fig's fundraiser, Tiki Barber really does show up! Caputo tries to call her and on the 11th try she finally puts down her Sazerac and answers. "It's like having children, can't mama have one night off!" she screams at him. It's pitch darn and the plumbing is also out, so everyone has to pee in a "honey bucket" in the corner. All other excrement must be held for now. This includes officers.
Brook Soso, loving the summer-camp feel of the power outage, leads the inmates in a Lisa Loeb sing-along. Naturally, everyone in every racial prison tribe knows every single word. A little victory for lonely Brook Soso.
Vee goes to dump the honey bucket outside and Red attacks her, strangling her with a bundle of saran wrap. She stops just before Vee chokes, realizing she's crossed a moral line she never wanted to. "This place is getting to me! This is stupid. Take what you want." The two call a truce and shake hands. It feels sincere but you know where this is going.
Poussey and Taystee have a confrontation in the library, where they're sent to rescue books from the rising waters. Taystee tells Poussey she's ruined everything and Poussey reminds Taystee that Vee is not a good person. Taystee says she doesn't care. The two start to fight each other but collapse into each other's arms crying. I hope they really reconcile and then form their own little tribe of hilarious/smart inmates and run off into the sunset together in a comedic spin-off series. Think about it.
Three pretty big cliffhangers close the episode: A guard falls asleep and Piper slips out of the rec room to sneak into Fig's office to snoop through files. Just then, the lights come on and Caputo is at the door. At the end of the party, Fig catches her husband making out with his male assistant. Finally, Vee attacks Red in the greenhouse with a pair of pantyhose full of rocks.
