Sat Nov 30 Convective Outlook
No Tstm Areas Forecast...
A Quasi-Zonal Longwave Pattern Will Prevail Over The Conus Through Tonight...With A Degree Of Amplification Occurring Over Ontario And The Great Lakes Region Via A Southeastward-Digging Shortwave Trough.
A Nil Tstm Potential Is Expected Across The Conus Given The
Widespread Prevalence Of Cold/Dry Continental Trajectories And
Stable Conditions.
While Some Showers May Occur Near East Coastal Portions Of Fl/Ga Today...Broad Subsidence And An Associated Mid-Level Inversion Will Likely Keep Any Tstm Potential Well Offshore In The Atlantic.
Sun Dec 1 Convective Outlook
No Svr Tstm Areas Forecast...
Dry And Stable Conditions For Tstms Will Preclude Appreciable
Probabilities Over Much Of The Conus Through The Period.
The Lone Exception Should Be Across The Lower Ms Valley Sun Night.
As A Weak Shortwave Trough Rapidly Progresses E/Sewd From The Cntrl/Srn Rockies...Modest Strengthening Of Low-Level W/Swlys Should Yield Modification Of A Cp Air Mass.
The Nam Appears Rather Aggressive With The Degree Of Moisture Return And More Unstable Given Its Depiction Of Saturated Layers Between 925-800 Mb With Lapse Rates Near 10 Deg C/Km.
However...Scant Elevated Buoyancy May Develop And Could Result In Sporadic Lightning Strikes Amidst Scattered Showers During The Latter Half Of The Period.
Mon Dec 2 Convective Outlook
No Tstm Areas Forecast...
A Decaying Area Of Showers Is Anticipated To Be Ongoing Mon Morning In Association With A Rapidly-Moving Shortwave Trough Ejecting Across The Southeast.
Although A Couple Of Embedded Tstms May Occur Early...Waning Forcing For Ascent Along With Increasing Stability With Ern Extent Will Dampen The Risk.
In The Northwest...Scattered Convection Should Accompany An Amplifying Large-Scale Trough And Scant Buoyancy Might Yield Sparse Lightning Strikes.
In Both Areas...Overall Tstm Probabilities Appear Less Than 10 Percent Attm.
Dec 3-7 Convective Outlook
With A Maritime Tropical Air Mass Relegated To The Caribbean... Negligible Severe Potential Will Continue Into Mid-Week.
By D6-7...Air Mass Modification Will Have Occurred Across The Wrn
Gulf With A Longwave Trough Amplifying Over The Wrn Conus.
Poleward Moisture Transport Should Yield Weak Buoyancy Developing From The Wrn Gulf Coast Towards Perhaps As Far N As The Oh Valley Ahead Of A Relatively Strong Cold Front.
Although Poor Run-To-Run Continuity Exists With The Subsequent Evolution Of Individual Shortwave Impulses Ejecting Within The Trough...The Positive-Tilt Pattern And Rather Cold Air Mass Behind The Surface Front Will Probably Yield Cyclogenesis Divorced From The Richer Warm Sector.
This Should Result In Generally Anafrontal (Rain Along and Behind the Cold Front) Character With Deep-Layer Flow Paralleling The Front.
The Aforementioned Limiting Factors And Low Predictability Preclude Any Consideration Of An Enhanced Severe Weather Area Attm.

Lady Rebels tripped up by Broncos
UNLV trails by as much as 40 in road loss at Boise
What was anticipated to be a game between two of the top teams in the Mountain West turned into the tale of one team.
Boise State (12-8, 7-2) stole the show Saturday as the Broncos sailed to a victory over UNLV 79-49 at Taco Bell Arena, claiming sole possession of second place in the conference.
From the minute the game started, the Broncos had control of the game. The Lady Rebels (9-12, 6-3) led by two for mere seconds in the first half, before Boise State ran away with the game.
The damage had already been done. UNLV was down 42-19 at halftime and shot 30 percent in the first half, while Boise State shot 51 percent and also made seven 3-pointers.
The Broncos were able to get the lead up to as much as 40 with 10 minutes left in the game.
UNLV finished the game shooting 31 percent from the floor and shot 2-for-12 from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Broncos ended the game proving why they're arguably the most efficient offensive team in the conference, shooting 48 percent from the floor and making 12 3-pointers.
Sophomore forward Réjane Vérin led the Lady Rebels with 17 points. Senior guard Mia Bell was the only other UNLV player to score in double-figures with 10 points.
The Broncos had five players reach double-figures, with Deanna Weaver leading with 16 points.
What really gave UNLV problems was the 21 turnovers it committed. Boise State was able to turn those into 23 points at the other end.
Boise State had the edge in sharing the basketball. They had a 21-7 advantage in assists.
Next week, the Lady Rebels face another big-time matchup against Colorado State, who currently holds first place in the Mountain West. The contest is set for Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Cox Pavilion.

33 Days Until International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!
In this issue:
The Holiday is Almost Here!
New T-shirts designed by Mad Sally herself are now up for sale on our Cafe Press store, http://talklikeapirate.com/booty.html. Just in time for the holiday, so get right over there and plunk down yer doubloons.
And in early September you'll be enjoying a new video project from the Pirate Guys that brings together buccaneers from all over the country. Sort of a "We Are the World" for the pirate set.
And then of course, on Sept. 19, the holiday itself!
Keep yer deadlights open because the holiday is fast approachin' and we'll have plenty to tell ye!
Tell Us Your TLAPDay Plans
Here we are, 33 days until that holiday of all holidays, International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Where does the time go?
If you've got plans for this Sept. 19 or the preceding weekend, we want to know! Send us a note and we'll put it on the "Calend-aarrr!" and on the Web Wench's Big World Map of Piratey Fun – http://talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html. Send her a note at email@example.com. You could send it to Slappy or me, but she's the only one who knows how the thing works, so there's that.
Ol' Chumbucket's Book Club
I've got a stack o'stuff I'm way behind on reviewing. I'll make it up to you (and the authors) in the next few weeks – http://talklikeapirate.com/booksandstuff.html. First up, here's two for the younger filibusters.
"Pirate vs. Pirate" vs. "Pirates vs. Pirates"
Two books with practically the same title arrived on my island this summer. They're both fine tomes and they're both stories of competition between some of the best pirates on the planet.
"Blast me deadlights!" I cried. "How is a gentleman rover supposed to tell them apart?"
Well here it is in a coconut shell, mates. "Pirate vs. Pirate" is a fantastic picture book for readin' to the kiddies up to about first or second grade, I'd reckon, while "Pirates vs. Pirates" can entertain the crew in roughly the fifth grade range all the way up to adults.
"Pirate vs. Pirate" – by Mary Quattlebaum, with illustrations by Alexandra Boiger – tells the story of Bad Bart, the meanest, baddest pirate on this side of the Atlantic, and Mean Mo, the roughest, toughest pirate in the Pacific. They both want the world title, so Bart sails his ship and Mo steers hers towards each other. When they meet, it's a titanic competition for ultimate supremacy of the pirate world. But the two are so evenly matched there's only one way this battle royale can end.
There's a real sense of "Anything Yu Can Do I Can Do Better," as man and woman pit their strength and wits and buccaneer bonafides. As contest after contest ends in a tie, their animosity turns into grudging respect, and then into something more. I don't want to give anything away, but as they say, it's a story of sharing and caring like no other. There might be an "Afterschool Special" in there somewhere.
I love the book, and yer nippers will get a big kick out of it whether they're boys or girls. But my favorite part is the illustrations. We have been told that Mary Quattlebaum and her husband are HUGE fans of Talk Like a Pirate Day and our source said "you and Slappy are 'as gods' to them." So maybe it's just a coincidence or maybe it was a subconscious thing – or maybe it was an out and out tribute – but Bad Bart looks EXACTLY like Cap'n Slappy. I mean a lot. Bart IS Slappy, if you ask me.
Anyway, "Pirate vs. Pirate" is a fine read for the wee ones, who'll enjoy the zany contest for piractical supremacy, and get a warm fuzzy all over as the rivalry becomes something else.
"Pirates vs. Pirates," on the other hand, is all about which age gave us the best pirate. Imagine a fight to the death between a Viking raider and a Barbary corsair, or a Buccaneer and an ancient Cilician. Who would win and why? And who would be crowned the ultimate one-on-one fighting pirate champion?
Award-winning author Richard Platt imagines bouts among 10 such rivals and then crowns a champion. There is no main text, it's all breakout boxes, illustrations, foldouts and factoids. It's quite a fancy package, reminiscent of the TV series "Deadliest Warrior."
Platt envisions 10 contenders from throughout the long history of piracy – four of whom would fall under the rubric of "classic pirates," a Caribbean privateer from 1580, a Buccaneer from 1610, a Roundsman (who cruised "on the round" between the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean) from 1700 and a Golden-Age Freebooter from 1720. He pits them in action in five fights (Viking fans won't be happy, their man falls to the Barbary Corsair surprisingly quickly.) Technology plays its role; the bronze sword and shield of a "Sea Person" from 1100 B.C.E. were no match for the pistol and steel blade of a privateer.
But the ultimate winner (no spoilers here!) owes as much to his tactical skills and experience as to his weapons, and those of us who say "Arrr!" on Talk Like a Pirate Day will be glad with the way this turns out. OK, so a little spoiler.
"Pirates vs. Pirates" is a good compendium of some of of the world's top seagoing raiders, with insight into their characters, weapons and history, although the author makes the point that this is about face-to-face solo fighting. The Chinese pirates' swarming fleet actions are not taken into account, or the privateers' tactics of cutting out a single galleon from the treasure fleet. This is man to man – even when they're women.
Together, "Pirate v. Pirate" and "Pirates vs. Pirates" covers the entire age spectrum.
"Pirate vs. Pirate" gets 5 full mugs o' grog, I liked it as much as I've liked almost any picture book I've seen in the last 30 years (and as the father of six, I've seen a LOT of picture books.) "Pirates vs. Pirates" gets 4 mugs. I enjoyed it, but I liked the whimsy of the other book just a bit more.
And, in case anyone is interested, beginning with these entries I'm also going to start postng the book club entries on my blod, The Write Pirate at http://writepirate.blogspot.com/.
Talk Like a Pirate Tune Up
In the coming weeks we'll be providing a tuneup for ye so that when the weekend of Sept. 19 rolls around ye'll be ready. Because ye've gotta get beyond "Arrr."
Today's tip – "Prepare to be boarded." Our very favorite pirate phrase, because it's so flexible. Use it whenever you arrive anywhere, home, church, school, your favorite tavern Basically anytime you walk through a doorway or enter a room. And it works even better as a pickup line.
And you'll find lots more such tips and treasures in our two books, "Pirattitude!" and "The Pirate Life," which you can purchase online through he links here – http://talklikeapirate.com/book.html.
So stop by the store – http://talklikeapirate.com/booty.html – for a new TLAPDay T-shit (or coffee mug, tote bad, shot glass etc.) and let us know yer plans! We'll be back with you soon.

By U.S. Army Alaska Public AffairsJune 9, 2009
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Army News Service, June 10, 2009) Aca,!" Alaska Soldiers celebrated the Army's 234th birthday in style June 5, while recognizing its past and present noncommissioned officers, who are considered to be the backbone of the nation's largest and oldest force.
Nearly 350 people attended the 2009 Army Birthday All-Ranks Ball at the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel in Anchorage. The ball, co-hosted by U.S. Army Alaska and the Association of the United States Army Last Frontier Chapter, put the spotlight firmly on the Army's Year of the Noncommissioned Officer and the young leader representing the command at the U.S. Army, Pacific Noncommissioned Officer of the Year competition.
AUSA Last Frontier Chapter president Rundy Galles said this is the chapter's first ball to celebrate the Army's founding. Being that it coincides with the Year of the NCO, it was fitting to have a primary role for USARAK's NCO of the Year.
"In the end, being selected as the USARAK NCO of the Year has been the biggest achievement yet in my Army career," said Staff Sgt. Neftali Bonilla, who was the event's main speaker. "I have gained the knowledge and hardened my skills that will help me overcome any obstacles that may lie ahead."
Bonilla, of C Company, 123rd Aviation Intermediate Maintenance, earned the title of USARAK NCO of the Year in a multi-event contest May 3 through May 7 at Fort Richardson. He left for Hawaii following the ball to compete in the USARPAC Warrior Challenge '09 Competition, which started June 8 and ends June 14.
Reminders of the impacts of NCOs were presented throughout the event, to include mentions of outstanding leadership on the battlefield and a Sergeant Audie Murphy Club presentation of "I am The Sergeant," which extolled their vital role and responsibilities throughout history.
The ball is one of the capstone Year of the NCO events being offered in USARAK and across the Army.

2:15 minutes
In Los Angeles, Donna and her best friend Christi Ann are bored of relationships and decide to chase two escorts in a bar for a one night stand. Meanwhile, construction workers and best friends, Stanny and Joe, come from New York but can\'t find jobs in Los Angeles. Without money, the guys decide to go to a fancy bar to drink and leave the place without paying the bill. Donna and Christi Ann meet Stanny and Joe and invite them home believing they are gigolos. After a night of sex, the women discover the misunderstanding and that the men are, indeed, unemployed construction workers. The women offer to have the men stay in their swimming pool cabana, furnishing them with beer and food while the boys search for jobs. In return, they would be their on-call \"boy-toys\" in a strictly sexual relationship

John McLaughlin has just released a five-part video series on the history and culture of Silicon Valley, and you've got to give the guy points for perseverance.
"I've been working on it for 20 years," McLaughlin says. "The first interview I did was with Linus Pauling back in 1992." And that interview with the Nobel laureate and Stanford professor didn't even make the final cut.
But it's not like McLaughlin hasn't found an outlet for any of the work until now. The former Palo Alto resident has published two books of corporate histories of Silicon Valley companies and he's released two earlier videos, one that appeared on PBS in the late 1990s. But these five, peppered with interviews of valley legends, is something of a capstone on a project that McLaughlin undertook with his gaze firmly fixed on the future.
"The theme was we wanted to be able to interview people that could be seen 500 years from now as groundbreaking personalities," he says. Silicon Valley in the early 1990s was said to be the center of a new Renaissance and McLaughlin was keen to find its Leonardo da Vincis and Michelangelos. He bought a video camera and went to work.
"Hewlett and Packard agreed to an interview early on," he says. "I was nervous the whole time."
And then he moved on to Intel's (INTC) Andy Grove and AMD's Jerry Sanders. He met with Oracle's (ORCL) Larry Ellison. He talked to Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs; Adobe (ADBE) founders Chuck Geschke and John Warnock; eBay's (EBAY) Meg Whitman; Carol Bartz, recently of Yahoo (YHOO). He recorded Nolan Bushnell of Atari fame and the valley's pre-eminent lawyer, Larry Sonsini. The list goes on.
"It was an incredible experience interviewing these guys," McLaughlin says.
The result is an interesting two-hour journey into the valley's past. Many of the interviews are from McLaughlin's archives and so they show much younger versions of luminaries who've come to be household names and visages in Silicon Valley. But in some ways, that's part of the series' charm.
Here's Jobs, before the turtleneck years, wearing a work shirt at NeXT headquarters and talking about how there never would have been an Apple (AAPL) without the inspiration provided by the electronic blue box that he and Wozniak built as kids to fool the phone company and make free long-distance calls.
"And these were illegal, by the way," Jobs says in the interview. "But it was the magic of the fact that two teenagers could build this box for $100 worth of parts and control hundreds of billions of infrastructure in the entire phone network, in the entire world, from Los Altos, California. An experience like that taught us the power of ideas."
And Ellison talking about how venture capitalists had no interest in his idea for a startup.
"So, I put in $1,200 and the other two guys put in $400 each and with that $2,000 we started Oracle."
And Atari founder Bushnell on the perceived prospects for computer gaming in the early '70s.
"People thought the idea of playing games on a television set was the stupidest idea they'd ever heard of."
For McLaughlin, collecting the stories fed his passion and allowed him to experience the thrill of the hunt. Like the months he spent trying to get Jobs to agree to an interview.
"I called his office probably 20 times," says McLaughlin, 63, "and Jobs' secretary, her name was Roxanne, and she would say, 'Steve is too busy this year.'" Finally, he says, Jobs' good friend Ellison intervened and Jobs agreed. "He was the best interview we did, by far," McLaughlin says.
McLaughlin, who lives in Tucson now, has had his hand in a number of enterprises over the years -- magazine and book publishing, a coffee cart business, making and distributing video productions. But valley history is the thing that he's loved.
"There is no question that he puts his heart and soul into this thing," says Gina Woolf, who in the early days solicited sponsorships from valley companies featured in McLaughlin's books. "He lives and breathes Silicon Valley history."
For now he is selling the video series on his siliconvalleyhistorical.org website. He and Woolf also hope to persuade broadcast outlets in the United States and overseas to air the programs.
That, of course, will take some doing. Then again, McLaughlin is nothing if not persistent.

Nigel Farage has said that he will not campaign to annul the marriages of same-sex couples at the election, in an apparent softening of Ukip's opposition to the policy.
Mr Farage said his party wanted civil partnerships to have "equal status" to marriage, adding that couples should have to go through a legal marriage in addition to a religious ceremony.
"We have absolutely no problem with anybody," he told Pink News. "We propose an augmentation of the civil partnership awarding it equal status to marriage and enabling it to be available to all. We would rather the legal and religious

They appeared at the end of the movie "Schindler's List", the poignant processional of real-life people whom Oskar Schindler saved. Now they tell their stories in a book that is the living legacy of what Schindler did and what the human spirit can endure and overcome. Through their own words and more than 100 personal photographs, we learn the truth of their experiences with Schindler, their incredible stories of day-to-day survival, and their ultimate triumph of rebuilding their lives, reclaiming family, and recording their memoirs for future generations. They range in age from late fifties to nearly ninety. Some emerged from the Holocaust as the lone remnants of their families; others, miraculously, survived with their parents, siblings and children. Their current lifestyles are equally varied: a multimillionaire New Jersey developer; a Cleveland tailor who works out of his basement; a retired New York violinist; a Baltimore fabric-store owner; a Pittsburgh cantor; a Los Angeles high school shop teacher; a world-famous Manhattan commercial photographer. Some remained committed, observant Jews; others have drifted far from religious ritual and belief. Some cling to the past; others have spent a lifetime trying to forget. Some seem to take pleasure in every breath; others seem forever burdened by sorrow. What they have in common is this: Oskar Schindler gave each a second chance at life. Now we learn what they did with that precious gift.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Lindsey Wilson College scored 10 of the last 14 points in the final five minutes to knock off the University of Pikeville 76-73 Saturday night at Biggers Sports Center.
The Bears, 7-3 on the season and 1-3 in the Mid-South Conference, took a 69-66 lead with 5:23 to play when senior Shane Burrell sank two free throws after classmate Kyan Hines had done the same.
But the next trip downcourt the Blue Raiders got to the line for two, on Pikeville's 10th second-half foul, and junior Josh White sank them both to cut it to one.
It was the first two of 10 free throws in the final five minutes for the Raiders, while the Bears – a 77 percent shooting team this season – went only 2-of-4 down the stretch.
The Raiders, 7-3 and 2-1, took the lead with two free throws by senior Chase Spreen with 1:45 left on senior Shane Burrell's fifth foul to go up 70-69.
Pikeville regained the lead twice, including at 73-72 when senior guard Chris McHenry nailed a jumper from atop the three-point stripe with 57 seconds left.
But 16 seconds later junior Kalen Kimberland put the Raiders ahead to stay with a baseline jumper. Kimberland led all scorers with 26 and added four rebounds and as many assists.
Lindsey's lead went to 75-73 when senior Justin Archie split a pair of free throws with 16.7 seconds left.
The Bears had a chance to tie with 2.3 seconds to play but missed a free throw and then committed a lane violation on the second. Spreen sank one with 0.9 seconds left to set the final score.
The game was tight the entire way. Pikeville used a 16-4 run – with the final seven coming from McHenry – to go up 25-18 with 8:18 left in the first half.
McHenry finished with 16 points and six steals in the loss and gave the Bears what would be the biggest lead either team would enjoy with a three to end the stretch.
The Bears matched the seven-point lead twice in the second half, including with 8:34 left after a dunk by junior Chris Watson to make it 63-56. But the Raiders tied the game with the next seven points, including a three-point play by Spreen with 7:26 left, to set the stage for the furious finish.
Kimberland was joined by three teammates in double figures. Spreen had 15 thanks to 10-of-11 shooting from the line. Junior Darren Ballou scored 12 and Archie added 11.
Pikeville was led by Burrell off the bench with 19 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double as a Bear. Junior Trevor Setty followed with 18.
The Bears dominated the glass 40-25, getting 18 of their own misses. But while the Raiders hit half their 14 three-point tries the guests were only 4-of-15.
Pikeville's road gets no easier. A rematch with second-ranked Mountain State comes Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Beckley, W.Va.

Mary Lou Williams:
First Lady of the Jazz Keyboard
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
On September 23, 1983, Duke University opened the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, responding to longstanding demands by members of the Afro-American Society, who had held a three-day sit-in 15 years earlier at the university's Allen Building to protest what they considered unfair policies toward black students. Speakers at the Williams Center's dedication included Father O'Brien, who was by then Executive Director of the Mary Lou Williams Foundation; novelist Toni Morrison; and myself.
The purpose of the Black Cultural Center was to preserve and enhance black culture at Duke; to promote better understanding and harmony among the races; to provide a meeting facility for those with an interest in black culture; to promote the recruitment of black students to Duke by providing a magnet area; to help motivate the student population and general public to increase their knowledge and understanding of black culture; and to help black students maintain their self-esteem by promoting cultural pride.
I learned much about Mary Lou Williams, and about jazz in general, during the course of our conversations back in 1979 and 1980. Of her appointment at Duke University, she told me:
"It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Since my very first day, the classes have grown. Before the end of my first semester, we had to move from the classroom down to the auditorium. There's really a big upsurge in Durham. Kids are writing to me from all over Europe and from around the world. They're coming to Duke to study with me. Over 750 registered last January. We had to cut the registration back to 90."
She said of her early training:
"[I had] No formal instruction. My mother wouldn't allow a teacher near me. She played by ear, then went to a teacher, and ended up not playing at all, just reading music. But my mother kept me in a musical environment. Professional musicians were always coming to the house. There were many good pianists in Atlanta, though they never became known nationally. For example, there was a guy named Jack Howard. He played stride piano, blues, ragtime, just about everything. He had a tremendous left-hand stretch, played a lot of tenths. With his brute strength he would tear up anybody's piano. Well, I began imitating him. I used to listen to the self-player piano a lot."
I was curious about her reaction to the label "jazz."
"The term jazz is perhaps corny and can have derogatory meanings, but I keep it because our music comes under the heading of jazz. We Americans have supported European music for centuries, but we are too stupid to support what was created here in America. Not everyone, of course. The Guggenheim Foundation gave me two grants so I could give time to my jazz composition. Jazz was created out of suffering by the early black American slaves. Not by just one person, but by an entire race of people from the time of the spirituals up to Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker era. Then it all stopped. Everybody got hung up on the title jazz. They were ashamed of the blues and some were ashamed of the spirituals, not realizing that it is important to have the spiritual and blues feeling in the music."
Always a teacher, Mary Lou frequently began major performances with a guide to piano styles that have influenced jazz over its history. She firmly believed that jazz and prayer are "twin mates of spiritual expression."
"Real jazz has love, and it has the spirit of God coming out of the suffering of black people. There are two things I express, the religious ideas and the musical ideas--both, otherwise it would be cold and have no feeling. When I'm playing, it seems as though someone else takes over. What I play comes from God, and I write it for the benefit of other people."
Lorna McDaniel wrote in the encyclopedia Black Women in America,
"Her niche as projector and protector of jazz is indisputable, and her importance in the history of jazz continues to be seen in the homage paid to her by scores of her musical progeny...[She] had the ability to shift to any style and harmonic structure in the history of jazz, from the stride of the Ragtime era to the boogie-woogie left-hand span of ten notes, or to the clustered and dissonant chords of avant-garde."

My father dealt with this move and booking and they lured him in with a 1600 dollar estimate, we were moving from california back to florida and our first move was around 3950, in california we threw away alot, left a lot of furniture to the people at the apartment building we were living in and had half of what we started with figuring the 1600 was justified. The movers came, and they loved the word estimate, they couldn't give us an actual price, everything was an "estimate" not to mention they charged 75 dollars for stairs, and since some of the stuff was in storage downstairs 1 level down that was another 75 dollars.
Although the whole time they used the elevator, for the extra 150, I should have told them the elevators were off limits since I'm paying for their use of stairs. Finally after everything was in their truck they finally agreed to a guaranteed price with the exclusion of the truck being a certain distance from the destination and if their were stairs which we already stated, yes, there are. The price we signed to was 2275 and they left figuring it was on it's way to florida as were we.
Seven days later.
My father and I are in atlanta on our road trip back to florida giving the driver plenty of time to reach the destination. Wanting to plan for Isaac, and the rest of our trip to make it in time we called up Air 1 Moving to find out when it will be delivered to make sure we were there with plenty of time to prepare both our apartment to receive everything, the apartment office, etc. I like to be fully prepared in everything that I do. When we finally got a hold of someone, Vicki, she told us not only has our stuff not shipped yet to the destination, but we still owed me over 2400 dollars. Now we already gave them 20% starting, 40% at
pickup...where did this 2400 come from? Well she claims that the driver who we met in California made a mathematical error and that 2275 was impossible a price and if we brought them to court, the court would obviously side with them. Strange logic being that we had a signed guaranteed agreement that minus stairs and accessibility, that the final price could not exceed 2275. After much arguing, she said she would look into it and that our stuff would ship the 1st of september and be
there between the 7-9.
Another Seven days later.
We are now in Orlando, Fl staying at the Royal Plaza hotel enjoying that we are finally home. We call up Air 1 Moving again, now we are talking to Adele, making sure we know when our things will arrive since the window is between the 7-9 of September and they've made it very clear that if we are not there to greet the driver, it will be an extra 200 dollars for every hour he waits. Adele, says sorry but your things have not shipped yet and she doesn't know where we had this notion that it would be delivered and that we still owed over 2000 dollars and that Vicki would get back to us. By the way, they love the term, we will call you
right back, call you right back means you'll have to keep calling them till you get the person that said was going to call you. Also, if they tell you a few days, it means they are buying time for themselves to hold off your delivery for as long as possible till you are extremely desperate and have to agree to anything that they ask for...or you'll be sleeping on the floor of your apartment, or house. Anyways, our hotel stay went from 10 days to now 18 days and we can't extend anymore for that deal so Adele, finally tells us that our things will ship as soon as they can and will arrive between the 15-17 of September. Good because our check out for the hotel is the 18th and will have no place to sleep, my father is 71, don't think the floor will be too good on his
Days go by still aruging about the price and out of their nonexistant hearts agree on 3100 dollars, stairs included and being
that we checked with the people at our apartment complex about movers, 18 wheelers, right path to take, etc. Accessibility wasn't an issue, like I said, I am always prepared.
Day of the move...-thunder crashes and evil music-
The driver gets here and we are leading him in to the complex and just before the gate goes, I can't make that turn...at this point we're going, what are you talking about hundreds of other trucks and movers have come in and out without a sweat, what's the problem? Well, it could damage the truck or I could jump a curb or hit a tree branch, I just don't want to do it. Now that was the last straw and my father and I blow up at this guy saying, we've talked to everyone, the office manager of the complex, the sales people, other people who have moved in and the head of maintenance and they all said, "18-wheeler, no problem, we get them all the time." My father is now cursing at him and this guy is cursing back, at a customer. I'm looking for something to write on in the back of my car to take down this guys information and I had an umbrella in hand and he calls the cops and tells them I have a bat.
Three cop cars show up and the cop is freaking out going where is the bat, where is the bat, well I don't have a bat but I have a golf club, but it's in the moving truck. Now Air 1 Moving hired two guys off of craigslist to help with the move and they offer to use their truck to take stuff from the giant truck to our place. Let me tell you these two guys busted their butts and what did Air 1 Moving do. They threatened us by saying either you sign these documents saying we paid in full and all of our inventory is here or they'll take it to storage and we'll have to get our own truck and move it ourselves. Now the truck isn't even inside the apartment complex it's on the outside and the movers from Air 1 are just putting the stuff on the street and were really worried about their blankets, so worried that our mattresses that we declined bags for and said that blankets would be fine, they took the blankets off and dragged them onto a dirty truck bed and all over the floors. Boxes were crushed, my father's bed was scratched up, my trunk was destroyed and these guys were supposed to put the beds back together and never did, in fact once they got everything off of the truck they jumped back into the truck as fast as possible and left all of my stuff on the street for these other two guys from craigslist to pick it up and bring it to the apartment. If they had helped, things would have been
finished in no time but these two guys worked themselves to death and even I was moving stuff back and forth and up stairs to the point where I nearly passed out. The people at Air 1 Moving did nothing, our beds were not built and all I can say in the end, between the extended hotel stay do to lies of delievery time, the hostile and unprofessional attitudes of their employees, the lies and deceit of price and services Why would anyone in their right mind do business with these people.
PLEASE for your own sake, the sake of your family, your friends and everyone around you DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. They will lie to you, cheat you and make your life completely miserable and in the end you will pay double what the original estimate was, and it will double after that with fees and double again when you realize everything you must replace since most of your things will probably get damaged.
Pick any other mover instead of these, even if they are more money you will get your items in the same state as they left, curteous employees working for you and the benefit of great service without the worry of being scammed.
If someone says you should call Air 1 Moving JUST SAY NO!

Chilling new information about the disappearance of the plane carrying Italian fashion heir Vittorio Missoni. The Cessna vanished off the coast of Venezuela Friday with Missoni and five others on board.
According to reports, the son of one of the passengers received an eerie text message today that he believes could be from his father. The son says the message read, in Italian, "Call now, we are reachable." An Italian telephone company reportedly confirmed the message was sent but couldn't verify when it was written. The son had been in contact with his father just before the plane took off. He said the phone now appears to be turned off.
In the meantime, hundreds of rescuers searched for the missing plane for a fourth day. They are searching by air and by sea. The missing 58-year-old Missoni is CEO of the Italian fashion house and the oldest son of the company's founder.

Related words include vigilant (Late Middle English); vigilance (late 16th century); and vigilante (mid 19th century) adopted from a Spanish word with the literal meaning 'vigilant'.

Blago Wants Genson Back; Patrick Fitzgerald to Stay Put
In the case of U.S. v. Blagojevich, could it be Genson v. Fitzgerald after all?
The NLJ reports that the former Illinois governor is trying to rehire spine-eating Eddie Genson (pictured), who reportedly quit working on the case last month because he disagreed with Blago's media-blitz strategy. Federal prosecutors have until April either to file an indictment against the former Democratic governor or seek an extension.
Meanwhile, it looks like the prosecutor in the case is staying put. NBC reports that Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney in Chicago who brought the criminal complaint against Blago and spearheaded the successful prosecution of Scooter Libby, will remain in the Obama administration, even though he was appointed to the position by President George W. Bush in 2001.
NBC says that Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois has recommended that AG Eric Holder keep Fitzgerald. That suggestion, reports NBC, was "positively received," according to officials at the Justice Department and Sen. Durbin's office.

|Casual, Eco-Friendly
What materials did you use? Sea glass chip beads, Swarovski crystals, delica sead beads, silver donut bezel
What are you most proud of? I'm proud of taking this jewelry project from beginning to end without ripping anything out. I used to be such a perfectionist when it came to jewelry art and this project was a real eye opener to see that not everything has to take months and be super difficult to finish!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Play with silly puddy! This bezel was a bit weird to say the least. I first used silly puddy to figure out exactly how much epoxy I would need, then placed the chips and crystals and ended up needing even less epoxy than I used. Testing with silly puddy first really make sense because you can get everything placed without losing any beads or crystals, and you get a preview of the finished pendant.
Just beautiful !! Thanks for the suggestion about silly puddy. This is so pretty.
Great Project Leah. I've taken your quilting classes. You are SO amazing, such a talented young woman.
Amazing piece!! :) love your tips!!and I completely understand about being a perfectionist and driving myself nuts thinking that I need to tweet this and that!!! But excellent finished product!!

CHAFFEE -- Playing Kelly in the third-place game of the Chaffee Lady Devil Invitational Tournament Saturday afternoon, the Sikeston Lady Bulldogs were able to build an early lead that the Lady Hawks would never be able to catch up with.
Outscoring the Lady Hawks 29-12 in the first quarter, the Lady Bulldogs were able to keep Kelly from getting any closer than 12 points in the second half before going on to win 73-51.
"The first quarter we played extremely well," Sikeston coach Matt Schonhoff said. "Our press was working. We were getting steals and baskets and we were causing a lot of problems. We came out really, really focused.
"The rest of the game we were kind of hit and miss. We'd get on spurts and then let them come back (on us)."
Trailing 42-30 at the half, the Lady Hawks watched the Lady Bulldogs come out of the gate hot in the third, scoring seven-straight points to push their lead to 19 before a basket by Kristen Vetter kick started Kelly's offense.
Going on a 13-6 run from Vetter's basket to the end of the third, the Lady Hawks were able to cut Sikeston's lead back down to 12 entering the fourth quarter.
Another slow start, however, doomed Kelly's comeback hopes as the Lady Bulldogs opened up the frame scoring eight consecutive points in the first few minutes to push their lead to 20 and essentially put the game out of reach.
"Considering what we've been going through this week, I'm very proud of our girls," Kelly head coach Rod McQuerter said speaking of injuries such as the one to starting point guard Haley Glastetter earlier in the tournament. "We've had a lot of adversity, but they came out and competed against a very good Sikeston basketball team.
"You know that when your depth is slim because of injuries it's hard to get back into the game, but give Sikeston credit, once we made a run, they were able to capitalize and make another run. That's what good teams do and that's what Sikeston did tonight."
Leading Kelly's third-place bid, Kayla Hicks had 16 points on the contest, scoring 13 in the first half alone.
As for Sikeston, it was another big night for Asia Liggins, who put up 21 points to lead the Lady Bulldogs. She was followed by Aleah Little and Taneshia Pulley, who contributed 13 and 11 points respectively.
Though winning the tournament championship would have been nice, Schonhoff's pleased with how the week went.
"In a tournament like this your goal is to play three games and obviously win as many games as you can," he said. "We're very happy going out of here 2-1. We'd love to have played in the championship game, but we are happy with third and we have a good week of practice ahead of us to get ready for Dexter and then the (Twin Rivers) Christmas Tournament."
Now at 3-1, the Lady Bulldogs will play the visiting Dexter Lady Bearcats Thursday at 6 p.m. while Kelly will host the East Prairie Lady Eagles tonight at 6 p.m.
SIKESTON (73) -- Tyangela Gibson 3, Keyonna Blissett 8, Darqueshionna Howard 9, Vonteria Applewhite 6, Asia Liggins 21, Anne Dennis 2, Aleah 13, Taneshia Pulley 11. FG 29, FT 14-40, F 20. (3-pointers: Howard 1. Fouled out: none).
KELLY (51) -- Kaitlin Glastetter 5, Bridgette Chandler 8, Karlie Ashcraft 2, Kristen Vetter 8, Kayla Hicks 16, Payton Jones 2, Katie Koonce 2, Kristen Powell 8. FG 20, FT 11-21, F 22. (3-pointers: none. Fouled out: none).
CHAFFEE -- Looking to repeat as Chaffee Lady Devil Invitational Tournament champions, the Scott City Lady Rams once again faced against the Delta Lady Bobcats Saturday afternoon for this year's title.
Much like they did last season in their 57-50 win over the Lady Bobcats, the Lady Rams were able to take a slim lead into the fourth quarter and hold on for a 41-35 win.
"A win like this in a close game is good for us for later on in the year," Scott City head coach Rickey Keller said. "I don't like them, but I'll take them. I thought we were patient there in the end which is what helped us."
Playing a tight game start-to-finish, Scott City was able to turn a four-point deficit after the first quarter into a four-point lead entering the half thanks to a solid 10-2 run during the second frame.
With Delta unable to make any headway in the third as the two teams put 11 points apiece in the frame, Scott City was able to enter the fourth and final frame with their four-point lead still intact.
Giving the Lady Rams a little breathing room, Melanie Lacey opened up the quarter connecting on two free throws and a two-pointer to push Scott City's lead to eight at 30-22.
The Lady Rams saw Delta make one last push as the Lady Bobcats went on a 6-0 drive led by Samantha Bartels four points to cut the deficit to three at 35-32 with just over two minutes to play.
Unfortunately for Delta, a pair of buckets by Stacey Heisserer and Katie Hogan in the final minute-plus helped seal the game.
"I thought they played hard," Keller said of his girls. "At times we didn't execute like I wanted to and other times we executed very well. (The girls) just never gave up."
With the Lady Bobcats looking to close in the fourth, Scott City made every point count, including going of 5 of 6 from the line in the frame while finishing 8 of 11 overall.
"We knew that they were going to start fouling us," Hogan said of the fourth quarter. "We knew that if we knocked down the free throws and came out with a good defense then they wouldn't have a chance to come back."
Hogan's ten points on the game tied her with Lacey for the team lead with all ten of Hogan's points and eight of Lacey's coming in the second half.
Bartels easily led Delta with 18 points on an afternoon when only three Lady Bobcats made up all of the team's offense. Rounding out their scoring was Machela VanGennip and Macey Parks with 10 and 7 points respectively.
The game marked Delta's tenth straight trip to the tournament finals with four titles in that span to show for it.
Still undefeated on the young season, the 5-0 Lady Rams will travel to Woodland today to play the Lady Cardinals at 6 p.m.
|Scott City
SCOTT CITY (41) -- Lindsey Ressel 3, Stacey Heisserer 9, Melanie Lacey 10, Katie Rhymer 3, Katie Hogan 10, Jenna Cummins 1, Andrea Gray 5. FG 15, FT 8-11, F 12. (3-pointers: Gray 1. Fouled out: none).
DELTA (35) -- Machela VanGennip 10, Macey Parks 7, Samantha Bartels 18. FG 12, FT 9-12, F 9. (3-pointers: Bartels 2. Fouled out: none).
CHAFFEE -- Fighting back from an 11-point deficit at halftime Saturday afternoon, the Oran Lady Eagles claimed the Chaffee Lady Devil Invitational consolation bracket championship.
Trailing 25-14 entering the second half, the Lady Eagles used a pair of 15-point quarters to edge out the Woodland Lady Cardinals 44-39.
"Their effort was tremendous tonight," Oran head coach Adam Friga said of his girls. "We didn't have our point guard (Abbey Anderson), she's out for a little while and she's big part of our team.
"It was a good team effort and the the kids battled really hard all night."
The Lady Eagles had closed to within four at 33-29 going into the fourth before a 15-6 run in the final frame sealed the game.
Leading the comeback was Cheyanne King, who scored a game-high 14 points for the Lady Eagle's with all but two coming in the second half.
Next up, Oran will travel to Scott County Central today, where they will play the Lady Braves at 6 p.m.
ORAN (44) -- Taylor Nenninger 3, Haley Glastetter 5, Addie Kielhofner 8, Chrissy Sauceda 5, Cheyanne King 14, Halle Woodfin 9. FG 19, FT 5-10, F 14. (3-pointers: Nenninger 1. Fouled out: none).
WOODLAND (39) -- Josie Long 8, Kathlyn Cooper 2, Tess Rainey 3, Ashley Acup 6, Keighlyn Lincoln 8, Kendra Pinkley 12. FG 16, FT 5-18, F 13. (3-pointers: Rainey 1, Lincoln 1. Fouled out: none).

A Room with a View
This was one of my favorite windows from my trip to NYC. I think it is classy and elegant. I love how they used curtains to give the room an asymmetrical balance. They have the curtain and all of the picture frames on one side, and then most of the girls on the other to complement it. It feels like the girls are just hanging out in a room looking out onto the shoppers on the busy New York street. I even like the color scheme here; in other displays I have criticized the use of too much white, but here I think it works because the focus is on the clothes. I also think the white works because it is not a flat white wall; there are different textures; and the floor is not white.
One Comment
I agree that even though there is a lot of white in this display, it still somehow works. I think it is because there is a lot of dimension added to the "room" which add some interest. I liked that the display is set up as a room because it gives the merchandise a more casual feel, while still being classy.

CONCORD — A new majority of elected leaders is bringing promised change to the Mt. Diablo school district, prompting cheers from supporters and causing others to wonder where the new direction will lead.
After assuming leadership of the school board in December, President Gary Eberhart, Vice President Paul Strange and recently elected trustee Sherry Whitmarsh have acted decisively, fulfilling what they believe is the voters' desire to clean house. Eberhart and Strange call it a mandate.
The trio has a hands-on style, making tough budget-cutting choices and wresting away some of Superintendent Gary McHenry's power by pushing through initiatives over the objections of trustees Richard Allen and Linda Mayo, now in the minority.
"I think it's a night and day difference right now," Eberhart said. "Board members aren't at each others' throats. I also think you've seen the board come up with its own priorities and not just accept everything the superintendent hands to us."
Since Whitmarsh joined the board Dec. 9, the trustees have responded to state budget cuts by slashing about $4.4 million from the district's 2009-10 budget of nearly $297.7 million, on their way toward cutting $6.6 million by Feb. 10. The board so far has eliminated more than 30 teachers, three district administrators and several maintenance workers.
The board majority has also reorganized the district's legal office, adding another staff attorney and removing its top lawyer from the superintendent's direct chain of command. Now, the general counsel reports primarily to the board and supervises all legal contracts, which were previously under McHenry's control.
Allen and Mayo voted against the reorganization, saying they weren't comfortable moving so quickly.
"There were still some items I wanted to discuss," Mayo said in a phone interview. "But it was obvious the board was ready to make it's decision. And they did."
The pace of change has alarmed some in the district, who worry the majority wielding its newfound power may act rashly.
"It may be the combination of the new membership and the changes in the state budget and economy that are driving these really rapid decisions," said Gina Hale, the parent of three children in district schools, including a daughter in special education. "There is an enormous amount of deep, irreparable harm that can be done from top-down change movements that don't take into account every stakeholder."
Whitmarsh said one of her top priorities is to overcome the mistrust that has developed among different groups in the district.
Dorothy Englund, a parent and district watchdog, characterizes the board as "the young and the restless versus the old and the cautious."
"For too long we've had a board majority with rose-colored glasses on," said Englund, who has criticized the district for fiscal blunders including late payroll tax payments. "It's good to recognize the successes of the district, but we also have to understand the failures. If they just gloss over these problems, then they just happen again and again."
She and others who voted for Eberhart and Whitmarsh are hoping the new majority will follow through on promises to make the district's business more open. Eberhart and Strange, who called for the superintendent's resignation last year, viewed the election as a referendum on McHenry's performance.
"The superintendent is going to have to deal with a board that's going to be more active and willing to hold him accountable for the errors he makes," Strange said. "We're having to get more involved than if we just simply had a superintendent who understood the importance of strategic planning."
In the past few months, the board has held several closed session meetings to discuss McHenry's responsibilities. Neither he nor trustees would comment on whether they expect him to retain his position until his contract expires in June 2010.
"With a change on the board, I need to know what I should work on first, so that I am working with the board in terms of their priorities," McHenry said. "I'm not opposed to strategic planning. Whatever they establish as a priority, that's what I'll do."
Allen, who was in line for the board presidency after serving as vice president last year, stepped aside to allow the new majority to take the reins.
"I really feel that the board has to get together," Allen said. "We've got two big things on our plate. One is balancing our budget. The other is the possibility of a parcel tax. If we appear to be split, I don't think it will help the trust within the community toward the board of education.
"I think the split board that we've had has not been positive for the school district."

So, the director is getting more invitations from the big actors' club. The first one who has invited Suraj for discussions is Ajith.
It is reported that Ajith and Suraj discussed a story recently. Though the actor hasn't given the final nod, it is said that the duo are finalizing the script. Other actors who have invited Suraaj are Jayam Ravi and Arya.
Ajith's next flick Asal will be launched in March. The film is by director Saran and Sameera Reddy appears as his lead lady.
