"Where's the logic in this sort of thing."…….well here in lies the rub…..logic is absent from the NRA thinking. Great post Ms. Kstreet607.
Unbelievable. Where's the logic in this sort of thing, given what happened a month ago?
Here is some free PR advice for the National Rifle Association: Now is not the time to release a target practice iOS app—especially one intended for kids. According to the NRA, the app is intended for children as young as age four.
In Target Practice you can choose to test your skills in an indoor or outdoor range or opt to shoot skeet. You get to pick your weapon, and you can pony up $1 to unlock better (more powerful) guns. For example, in the outdoor range your default is an M16, but you can upgrade to an AK47 or an MK11 if you pay. It's really just a point-and-shoot game, but the fact that it's meant for kids is straight up stupid.
It would be a different story if the app were teaching…

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State University's Theatre Department will present its spring production of August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson" from March 12 through March 16 at the Leila Barlow Theatre.
Alabama State University provided the following description of the production:
"Set in Pittsburgh during the Great Depression, "The Piano Lesson" is the haunting story about a brother and sister who are at odds over how to handle their family's legacy, which is embodied as a 137-year-old piano with images of their African ancestors carved by their enslaved great-grandfather, as well as the spirits that are attached to it.
The piano that the siblings argue over -- whether to sell it or keep it -- is only one part of the ever-tightening chain of history that threatens to destroy them both. Caught in the middle are uncles who remember what the piano actually cost and a 12-year-old girl who is forced to deal with the unknown when she encounters ghosts from the past."
Showtimes will be at 7 p.m. on March 12 through March 15 as well as at 3 p.m. on March 16. Tickets are $10 general admission and $6 for students with a valid ASU ID.
For more information or to purchase tickets, contact ASU Theatre Department 334-229-6929 or the ASU Stadium Box Office at 334-229-8482.

Learning about sustainability can take place outside of the classroom, as well as in it. Events that raise awareness of sustainability can occur in the residence halls, Student Union, department meetings, faculty colleges, and many other locations across campus. One of the best ways that UTPA can ensure that students are aware of sustainability issues, and are able to tackle these complex problems when they enter the work force, is to provide them with hands-on experience in sustainability.
Co-curricular programs provide opportunities for students to engage directly with the community through organized volunteer activity and student organizations. These programs facilitate direct application of classroom knowledge into practical settings, and increase a sense of citizenry. In this way co-curricular activities enhance critical thinking skills and cognitive complexity, and encourage student retention by providing a sense of community for the students.
Service-learning includes a multidisciplinary application of coursework within and across fields toward sustainability-related problem-solving. Some of the benefits to service include a deeper understanding of theory learned in class, a developed sense of place and civic duty in students, and an empowered student population with skills as change agents who advance the university's mission of providing service to the community, state, and nation. Moreover, co-curricular service cultivates interdisciplinary partnerships and allows faculty to simultaneously meet service and teaching goals.
Currently, there are approximately two hundred student organizations registered with the Student Government Association (SGA) at UTPA, including an ad hoc committee called the Environmental Awareness Club (EAC). The EAC student organization sponsors events and activities year-round with the university and community. Additionally, SGA has both ride/share and an environmental awareness survey on their website. The Student Union partners with SGA on the ride/share to save gas. The newly developed Eco-Reps project will provide a mechanism to energize and coordinate these student activities. In summary, the co-curricular education of the students holds tremendous value that can easily be phased in sustainability via staff and programs.
Resident Life, University Center, and Student Union currently practice the following initiatives:
As a student at UTPA, Velasquez was able to find an outlet for her inclinations through the Environmental Awareness Club (EAC). She participated in a variety of different activities with the EAC, at first engaging in awareness-raising on how to recycle, and then.... Read More

WEST VIEW, Pa. – The big question entering Saturday's WPIAL quarterfinal for the Jeannette Jayhawks was how they would respond after a sloppy 46-38 win over Shady Side Academy.
The response was emphatic.
Jeannette (20-3), ranked 5th in the state by the Patriot News, dismantled Shenango (19-7) 81-62 Saturday afternoon at North Hills High School.
"I think even the best, the NBA players, they have an off night,†said junior forward Terrelle Pryor, who had a game-high 22 points. "We talked all week about coming out on fire.â€
The Jayhawks weren't only on fire. They were white-hot.
"The difference (from the Shady Side game) was we made shots,†said Jayhawk head coach Jim Nesser. "We forced as many turnovers and defended just as well (in the Shady Side game), but today we hit the shots.â€
Jeannette opened the game on an 11-0 run, but Shenango countered to close the first period down only 15-10.
It was as close as the Wildcats would come.
Jeannette went on a deciding 17-6 run in the second quarter, and built a 14-point halftime lead. "We were trading baskets with them,†said Shenango head coach Bobby McQuiston. "When you're down by 11, you can't trade baskets.â€
With Jeannette up 60-39, the near-capacity crowd was brought to its feet when Pryor streaked down the court off a Wildcat turnover and slammed home a two-handed, rim-rattling dunk.
Braydon Micaletti led all Shenango scorers with 15 points. Bryan Chieze added 14 points and Rocco Colavecchia chipped in with 10 for the Wildcats.
Jordan Hall added 17 points for the Jayhwaks, and Davonte Shannon and Jerry Harris each found double figures in scoring, with 13 and 11 points respectively.
With the win, Jeannette earns a berth in the WPIAL Class AA "Final Four,†where it will meet the Beaver Falls Tigers (19-8), Wednesday evening at North Allegheny High School, with tip time scheduled for 8 p.m.
Shenango, by reaching the "Final 8,†has qualified for a berth in the state playoff tournament, with the date, time, and opponent yet to be determined.

Libraries & hours Holiday schedule Policies Press releases Employment Library Foundation Contact us More...
The luge is one of the most dangerous winter sports. Sliders rocket down an ice chute at speeds up to 70 miles an hour, on their backs, without any mechanical steering or braking devices.
Sliders gear consists of a rubberized bodysuit and booties, helmet with protective face shield and special gloves with metal spikes protruding from the finger tips that help increase momentum at the start of the race.
The race begins at the top of the chute. The slider, sitting on the sled holding the handles attached to the start gate, pulls the handles to propel the sled forward, paws the ice for more momentum, then settles into the racing position - lying flat on the back with arms at the side and legs extended with toes pointed forward.
Luge tracks vary in length and configuration but are only 5 feet wide. The average length is 4,100 feet long with lots of turns including at least one S curve.
Although there is no steering mechanism there are a couple of ways to steer the sled. The most direct is for the slider to press one of the curve runners with the inside of the leg. Another way to redirect the runner is for the slider to press down with a shoulder against one of the rear sides.
In the Winter Olympics there are men's and women's one-person and men's double luge.
The maximum weight for one-person sled is 242 pounds for men and 220 for women. If a luger is under the weight limit, additional weighs may be carried in his/her vest. In the two-person luge the slider on the bottom is the driver and does the steering. The teammate on top is responsible for shifting weight in unison with the driver.

Most Helpful
This was very easy to whip up and tastes very much like the green curry paste i am used to. I have not used it in a recipe yet, but will update this review when I do. Highly recommended (especially if you have all the ingredients on hand and don't have a can of curry paste).
Definitely seed and devein those chilis if you're using small ones! I used serranos - plenty spicey. I like the flavours together, unusual with the caraway. The seranos over powered somewhat, so I would be tempted to use a different kind next time, or maybe only use half. Thanks for another good one Sharon! Made for Indian More than Just Curries game, March 2010.
Yes, this is good! Mine wasn't too hot, either; so I actually used the whole recipe in making Recipe #325922. The only trouble I ran into was that it stuck to my skillet; so I might use a few drops of oil next time.

Lolo Jones didn't get the gold medal she was expected to win in the 100-meter hurdles in Beijing.
At heartbreaking speed Tuesday, Ms. Jones clipped the ninth hurdle, stumbled across the finish line in 7th place and fell to the track in disbelief.
Hundreds of athletes at the Olympics fall short of a medal or fail to live up to their own or their fans' expectations. But Ms. Jones, who ran track at LSU, had battled back from what could have been the end of her track career when she fell at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials.
Going into Tuesday's race, she was the fastest woman hurdler in the world. She was ahead of the pack with two hurdles to go.
Then it was over.
But despite what must have been a devastating disappointment, she was gracious in defeat, stopping for a trackside TV interview and pausing to congratulate one of the medalists.
At age 25, Ms. Jones has overcome great adversity in her life. She made it through a stretch of homelessness as a child and financially tough times during college and after the 2004 Trials.
After winning at this year's Trials, she donated her $4,000 prize money to a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, family who had lost their home in this summer's floods. She has not only excelled at her sport, she has carried herself with grace.
She is a champion with or without an Olympic medal.

Officially, Shuttleworth's role at the company behind Ubuntu, which he founded in 2004, has been limited to product strategy and design since he stepped down as CEO in December 2009.

Eminem brings down the tone
Posted on October 7, 2005 by Jamie Slaughter
Eminem's lawyers and representatives are preparing to file several lawsuits in an effort to prevent 5 Internet companies from selling the rappers ring tone without the proper approval.
The Associated Press claim that FanMobile, Nextones.com, MyPhoneFiles and MatrixM are all involved with the lawsuits. Karaoke companies which sell Eminem songs for traditional sing a long purposes will also be targetted if they have not yet acquired the respective licenses.
"This is a big business," said attorney Howard Hertz, a representative for the plaintiffs. "We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year."
Ring tone revenue is escalating at a rapid rate and it has been reported that the market notched up an amazing $217 million in year 2004.
Eminem, on the other hand, has not been in the public domain since the cancellation of his European Tour, and his spokesperson refused to comment on his current condition or whereabouts.

When it comes to advertising, it is best to follow one golden rule. Ask yourself, "What would Don Draper do?" Well, (and we're talking to you, AMC) Don Draper would certainly not inadvertently reference the most horrific terrorist attack in recent history in an attempt to market the upcoming fifth season of the wildly popular series Mad Men.
For several weeks now, white billboards have been hung over highways, stuck onto skyscrapers, and placed in clear sight of pedestrians. These billboards have nothing on them but the black silhouette of a falling man, the fictional protagonist Don Draper, and the words "March 25th." To those who are familiar with Mad Men, the falling silhouette is an icon of the intro theme, a metaphor for the lack of control Don Draper has over his own life. But for the unknowing bystander, the image can be read as a tasteless reference to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the iconic photograph of the "Falling Man." Check out a comparison below:
AMC defended its advertising snafu by commenting that "The image of Don Draper tumbling through space has been used since the show began in 2007 to represent a man whose life is in turmoil. The image used in the campaign is intended to serve as a metaphor for what is happening in Don Draper's fictional life and in no way references actual events."
Still, it's just not the best image to hang on a New York skyscraper.
The final image in the intro theme, the silhouette of the back of Don Draper's head and shoulders as he lounges on a couch with cigarette in hand, would have served the marketing campaign far better. Not only is this image more identifiable, it also wouldn't piss anybody off. Sterling Cooper shakes it head at you, AMC.
Anyway, the four-time Golden Globe and fifteen-time Emmy winning series, Mad Men, about sex, alcohol, hot office temps and an advertising agency is coming back for a fifth season starting on Sunday, March 25th. We highly suggest you tune in—between Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks, there's someone for everyone to salivate over.

****UPDATE: Traffic is flowing normally once again on Estes Drive.****
A wreck on Estes Drive has shut down traffic in both directions, multiple motorists have told WCHL.
One witness reported that emergency crews were on the scene.
The accident appears to have occurred between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Phillips Middle School.
There is no word at this time from Chapel Hill Police regarding the severity of the accident.
This story will be updated as any new information is made available.http://chapelboro.com/news/traffic/wreck-blocks-traffic-estes-drive
Interested in biking? walking? busing? light railing? just getting around in general?
Next week, the Town of Chapel Hill is holding a pair of public meetings on the future of local transportation.
The first will be on Tuesday, February 9, from 5-7 pm in the first floor conference room of Town Hall. It'll be a "drop-in" session (you don't have to be there for the full two hours) to gather public feedback on a trio of proposals for new bike lanes and multi-use paths along Estes Drive from MLK to Caswell, to make biking and walking safer and easier. The Estes Drive project grew out of the Chapel Hill Bike Plan and the Central West Small Area Plan; it will be a $2.3 million construction project, with most of the money coming from federal funding. (Town planners are gathering feedback to develop a final proposal for the Chapel Hill Town Council, with a vote planned sometime before the Council breaks for the summer. Construction itself is slated to begin later this year.)
Get more info on the meeting, including a look at the three alternative designs for Estes Drive.
The town is also holding a meeting on Wednesday, February 10, on various topics related to public transit including buses, bus rapid transit, the ongoing North-South corridor study, and the future of light rail. This meeting will take place in Town Council chambers (also in Town Hall) from 7-9 pm. The town's Transportation and Connectivity Advisory Board is hosting the meeting; board members will use public feedback to provide future recommendations to the Town Council.
Chapel Hill Long Range and Transportation Planning Manager David Bonk discussed both meetings this week with WCHL's Aaron Keck.http://chapelboro.com/featured/estes-drive-light-rail-brt-on-transportation-agenda
8:45 p.m. Update – All lanes of Fordham Boulevard are now open. OWASA reports that the repairs are complete.
12:30 p.m. Update – The Orange Water and Sewer Authority reports that the repair of the water main break may be completed by late afternoon or early evening.
7:45 a.m. Update – One northbound lane of Fordham Boulevard (15-501) was opened a little after 7:30 a.m. Wednesday according to Chapel Hill Police Public Information Sergeant Bryan Walker. Heavy delays should still be expected in the area of 15-501 and Estes Dr.
Story originally posted October 8, 2014, 6:35 a.m.
Both northbound lanes of Fordham Boulevard (15-501) are closed around Estes Drive due to a water main break that occurred Wednesday morning.
The break occurred on the north side of the intersection. Chapel Hill Police officers are diverting traffic away from the area and OWASA crews are on the scene repairing the break. It is not known at this time when the road will be reopened.http://chapelboro.com/news/traffic/water-main-break-near-fordham-blvd-15-501-estes-dr
CHAPEL HILL- More than 200 people came out Monday night to voice their concerns about the draft plan for the future of the intersection of Estes Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
"I am not against development," Chris Hakkenberg told the council. "I am however stridently opposed to the aggressive and myopic plans that have carried the day thus far in the Central West process."
"I feel like in some respects, this is a size nine foot going into a size six shoe," said Elaine Marcus.
"This plan, in short, is not ready for prime time," said Alan Tom.
The three were among nearly thirty speakers at the public hearing, most of whom criticized the small area plan created by the Central West Steering Committee.
The 17-member committee was convened nearly a year ago, and since them the group has met more than 30 times and hosted 10 public outreach sessions prior to submitting the small area plan.
The plan lays out potential land uses for the 97 acre area, calling for a mix of commercial development and housing in three to five story buildings along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, with the density and building height decreasing along Estes Drive.
The plan also focuses on the need for bike and pedestrian pathways to access the two nearby schools. The committee recommends widening Estes to five lanes at the intersection with Martin Luther King, but tapering down to two lanes for much of the length of the road.
Amy Ryan, Town Council candidate and co-chair of the Central West Committee, said the improvements could mean less traffic at the intersection even with more drivers on the road.
"What they are telling us is that the level of service in morning and evening are not worse than they are today, and in some cases will be improved with some of the mitigations," said Ryan. "The delay times are generally at a minute or less at peak times."
The plan was approved by a two-thirds majority vote by the committee, but a small minority rejected the plan, saying it was too dense, with too few details on the possible impacts of growth.
But Ryan argued that's not what the process was meant to produce.
"Our job was not to produces a specific site design for this area," said Ryan. "Rather it was our job to have a vision for positive change."
Residents opposed to the work of the committee have circulated a lower-density citizen's plan, as well as a petition asking that the council vote to adopt the plan be delayed indefinitely.
And some on the council, including Mayor Pro Tem Ed Harrison, seemed inclined to consider the request.
"If it does take longer, it should take longer," said Harrison. "This discounts none of the work of the committee, which I think has been excellent and the citizen's plan as well is a nice piece of work. But I just want to say that right now I am willing to extend the time if that's what it takes."
Nonetheless, council member Gene Pease told the assembled crowd the town faces tough choices about growth and taxes in the near future. He asked residents to make room for commercial development.
"I don't know the answer, except we have to accept some commercial," said Pease. "You've been trying to define it with your citizen's plan, the committee's trying to define it, but we have to find some way to find some middle ground or our taxes are going to continue to go up services will be cut and we will be pushing out the people that create a diverse community. This will become a bedroom community if we're not careful."
The Central West plan goes to the Town Planning Board for evaluation before returning to the Town Council for consideration on November 25.http://chapelboro.com/news/local-government/estes-drive-residents-pan-central-west-plan
CHAPEL HILL – Members of the Chapel Hill Town Planning Board said Tuesday that they were pleased with the plan drafted by the Central West Steering Committee, but wanted more clarification on several issues. Members of the Steering Committee itself, though, weren't so happy with the plan.
The Committee's plan was a draft version of uses and heights for proposed mixed-use development in the area which is near the intersection of Estes Dr. and Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd. The plan also included recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian amenities.
The draft, presented partially in map form, was received fairly well by the Planning Board. Jason Baker said he was "pretty pleased" with the plan, and said he believed the bicycle and pedestrian improvements would be "fantastic" for the community and would help to mitigate traffic.
John Ager said he believed that changes along Estes Dr. were inevitable.
"I take issue with some of the points that have been made by members of the public because I think they are obsessing about the immediate problem and are not looking at the big picture," Ager said. "There's a lot of argument about will Estes be widened or not. It will be widened in my opinion."
The work of the Central West Steering Committee has not been easy since it was undertaken in December of 2012, and at times, the meetings have been contentious. Ager said the committee lacked a "strategic vision" which was what made the task of the Obey Creek Steering Committee go more smoothly.
Planning Board Member Del Snow said she was not pleased with the work done by the consultant, who was brought in to provide the committee with technical expertise.
"As I said before, I feel that the tempo and style of this small area plan was set by the consultant when they came in with the maps first," Snow said. "I've always been a big proponent of having the data to back up what you have proposed. That, in itself, troubles me."
Neal Bench, Chair of the Planning Board, contended that something was going to happen to Estes regardless of what the committee presents to the Council. He said he would rather it happened sooner than later.
Four members of the Central West Steering Committee, who have formed their own unofficial subgroup, said they can't endorse the "official" plan.
During the public input session, the four members presented their own map, which they said better addressed how development will affect traffic. They also criticized the official plan for failing to include community feedback.
Committee Co-Chair Michael Parker rebuffed that claim. He said that the Committee held four community events, hosted walking tours, and offered a public survey.
"I think we tried as hard as we could to reach out and be reached out to," Parker said.
Parker and fellow Co-Chair Amy Ryan led the effort to formulate the map that was presented to the board. After several other versions were on the table, the map was drawn-up based on one-on-one meetings that Ryan and Parker held with their fellow members. Ryan said the goal was to find trends among suggestions put forth by committee members and incorporate them into a new plan.
"One thing that I like about it is that it squarely addressed the traffic concerns which are important for people in the area, and it also leaves things open to developers to have flexibility about how they do things," Ryan said.
The plan wasn't well received by some neighbors in the area at a previous meeting who believed the new plan had even less detail than previous versions and featured "no definition on impact to the community."
Chapel Hill Resident Heidi Chapman was one of six people, included the four unhappy members of the committee, who spoke to the Planning Board during the public comment period. The other was Maria Palmer, who praised the plan and the work of the committee.
"This is an attempt to present something to the Planning Board today. It does not represent the public's view," Chapman said. "The public made it very clear at the Amity Church [event] and also in the survey that they did not like any of the plans that the consultant had come up with and the plan that the two chairs had come up with is even more intense."
Steering committee member Mickey Jo Sorrell began the presentation of the dissatisfied subgroup.
"I want to make it clear that this group of four is not against urban development when it is appropriate in the right places," Sorrell said.
The group presented their revised map, which includes what they call more in-depth traffic analysis. Julie McClintock said it better explained how the development could impact the neighborhood.
"If the biggest issue of developing this area, the biggest constraint is traffic, why would you not want to deal with it?" McClintock said.
The group also presented a report summarizing what they believed to be the shortcomings of the official plan.
"The traffic and number of trips analysis, I think you will really see is really presented way beyond what the majority of the committee has put forth," Tuttle said. "I think it is very important for the Planning Board not to let this process move on to Town Council with out having that same kind of analysis presented."
Firoz Mistry echoed Tuttle's assertion.
"Anyone who travels on it [Estes Dr.] today knows that every evening, the traffic backs up all the way to the Library, so it is really a disaster already," Mistry said.
McClintock added that she felt the committee had failed to also address storm water issues in an area that is prone to flooding.
Topics to be discussed at the committee's meeting on October 3 include traffic performance measures, storm water issues, and street character vision.
The Steering Committee will return to the planning board on October 15 with final draft of the Central West Small Area Plan.
The committee will continue its work until November 25, when it reveals a final plan to the Chapel Hill Town Council.http://chapelboro.com/news/development/central-west-goes-before-planning-board-disagreements-continue
CHAPEL HILL – The Central West Steering Committee has formulated a plan which focuses on several points that it will present to the Chapel Hill Planning Board Tuesday. This comes after last week's meeting when the committee could not reach an agreement on a single item. Still a portion of the committee members and neighbors weren't content with the process.
For the first time in the history of the Central West Steering Committee, a motion passed unanimously Tuesday evening as committee members applauded the consensus.
"It is time for us to make decisions. We've met for nine months. I think it is time for us to put some marks on paper with some decision making. We will then send it to the Planning Board and get public comment," said committee Co-Chair Amy Ryan.
Matt Sullivan, the meeting's facilitator, said that the topics up for discussion were development use; height; and bicycle and pedestrian amenities. By keeping the meeting's agenda from getting too broad, the committee was able to make progress before sending suggestions to the Town Planning Board.
Other motions were approved as well, such as limiting building heights to three stories in the small area plan, and including additional proposed lines on the map, denoting possible off-road paths. A motion was almost passed to restrict building heights to three stories along Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., south of Estes Dr. However, it was decided to delay a vote on the matter in order to include feedback from the Planning Board.
For nine months, the committee has discussed possible land uses and building heights for new development along the Estes Dr. corridor. Six maps have been considered in total, featuring mixed-use development located near the intersection of Estes Dr. and Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd. The plans are variations of residential, office, institutional and higher density housing development proposed in the area.
The sixth map, formulated last week by Committee Co-Chairs Ryan and Michael Parker, was based on one-on-one meetings with their fellow members. The goal was to find trends amongst suggestions put forth by committee members and incorporate them into a new plan.
Neighbors like John Morris said that he believed the new plan had even less detail than previous versions and featured "no definition on impact to the community."
Alan Thom, who lives on Caswell Road off Estes Drive, spoke during a public comment session. He said he believed that the committee was "nowhere near ready" to present a final report the Planning Board, adding that the group had spun in circles since work began.
"Even by the twists and turns that have become a defining characteristic of the Central West Steering Committee, the abrupt switch in one week from a map that was a first draft and starting point for discussions, to a being an action item, was an astounding change in direction," Thom said.
Some Committee members, like Julie McClintock, have questioned the new map, arguing that it goes against the concerns of neighbors who will be impacted by more density.
"To me, we haven't had a conversation and a consultation on this map," McClintock said. "It was really brought to us last week. It reflected apparently individual conversations that had occurred. I didn't see anything on it that reflected my views."
Committee member Dave Tuttle said he felt that public opinion had been neglected as well.
"This process of what we are really supposed to do is to maintain the integrity of the planning process and ensure that the process is open and participatory," Tuttle said. "We also should receive and integrate community feedback. I think we have failed miserably."
Town Planner Megan Wooley said public comment was always included in the committee's action minutes.
Committee member Lucy Carol Davis added that the plan wasn't a final version, rather a composite collection of suggestions made so far.
"Again, we are not trying to approve a development project here," Davis said. "We are trying to set the direction for the kind of development that we think would be appropriate in this area."
Though this was the committee's last meeting before presenting to the Planning Board, the group's work will continue until November 25, when it reveals a final plan to the Chapel Hill Town Council.
Topics to be discussed at the committee's meeting on October 3 include traffic performance measures, storm water issues, and street character vision.
A representative of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Board, Jared Simmons, said that moving forward, the committee needed to consider density in regard to transit operations.
"I think the most important thing we need here is that we need the proper density level to support transit infrastructure," Simmons said. "If we underdevelop it, then we are going to be wasting money and no one is going to ride the G-Route and the Cross-Town Route. It is not going to support the proper transit infrastructure."
The committee presents its newest plan to the Transportation Board this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Public Works Building on Millhouse Road.
CHAPEL HILL – The Central West Steering Committee has 12 days to present its plan to the Planning Board, and not a single item in the plan has a consensus agreement.
The action item for Thursday night's meeting of the Committee was to see which items in the plan—which has been discussed since January—could be agreed on. The first motion to vote on an item was finally called more than two hours into the meeting. A representative of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Board, Jared Simmons, motioned that the committee vote on the bike and ped plans that had been discussed, which he said he believed the group agreed on.
After close to ten minutes of discussion, the motion got lost, and co-chair Amy Ryan asked the Chapel Hill Police Department's staff legal adviser, Matt Sullivan—who was brought in to be a facilitator of the meeting—to get the meeting on track.
"We have this meeting and the next meeting before we have to go to the Planning Board, and we have to bring them something," Ryan said. "I'm hoping to bring them decisions, not just 'these are things we're thinking about'. So, if you could help us, maybe, move forward with that."
"Well, I think he's actually moving in the right direction," Sullivan said.
More discussion ensued and the motion was removed with a different motion to make the bike/ped portion of the plan an agenda item for discussion at the committee's next meeting.
With only 15 minutes left in the meeting before the committee had to allow for ten minutes of public discussion and adjourning, the second motion was called by land owner, Whit Rummel.
"I would like to make a motion that we accept the performance-based standards for traffic on development…on the basis that David and the staff can come up with a feasible way of approaching it," Rummel said.
David Bonk is the town's long range and transportation planning manager. He took time to explain that the performance-based standards are industry standards for these situations, and still the committee could not agree to vote on the item. Despite nearly reaching a vote, that item too got pushed to the next meeting with the request for more information from town officials.
Before opening the floor to public comments, Sullivan told the committee he is confident that it can come up with some items on which the members agree.
"I think it would be a shame that you invested all this time, energy, and effort to have it flounder," Sullivan said.
A major hold-up for the committee is that there are now six proposals on the table for it to work on. The fifth map was presented last week by a group that expressed its items of concern were not being heard. That proposal was presented to the group Thursday and received mixed opinion.
The co-chairs of the committee also took the past week to meet one-on-one with almost every individual of the group to discuss the issues. The chairs then put the discussion together into a map, which the committee realized at the meeting ended up being a combination of concept A2 and B2. Both those concepts were heavily disliked by the committee.
*Update: Co-chair Ryan told WCHL on Friday that the goal of the one-on-one meetings was not to pick and choose what items from the four A and B concept plans were the best, but instead to just name the areas of concern and what they wanted to see in the plan. She said the performance-based standard will likely produce a less dense plan than the A and B concepts that were heavily disliked.
Last week's public session saw more than 200 community members show up to give their input by placing a green dot on plans they agreed on and red dots on plans they were against. Town officials, members of the committee, and members of the public said Thursday there was evidence that people were seen removing dots and otherwise compromising the project, so the data was not submitted as official information.
*Update: Chapel Hill Housing and Neighborhood Services Planner, Megan Wooley, told WCHL on Friday that the dot exercise will be used, it's just not going to be tabulated into numerical data. She said it was always meant to just be a visual representation.
The town survey received close to 450 entries and was given to the committee to review.
The Central West Steering Committee meets one final time before submitting a plan to the Planning Board. Tuesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., the group will have to come up with something to present.http://chapelboro.com/news/development/central-west-stalled
CHAPEL HILL- A woman died Wednesday night after being hit by a car near the intersection of Fordham Boulevard and South Estes Drive. Chapel Hill police say Lisa Renee Baldwin, 41, of Chapel Hill, was walking when she was hit shortly before 8:30 p.m. Baldwin died at the scene of injuries related to the accident.
WCHL will have more on this story as details become available.http://chapelboro.com/news/safety/pedestrian-killed-at-estes-drive-intersection
CHAPEL HILL- Next Tuesday Chapel Hill residents will have a chance to check in with the Central West Steering Committee to review maps laying out possible land uses and building heights for new development along the Estes Drive corridor.
But the 17-member group is at odds over which maps the public should see and what the maps actually represent. Mickey Jo Sorrel told fellow committee members she's not comfortable with any of the current plans.
"I personally do not feel that these maps are a product that I have endorsed. We have voted on them a piece at a time and in groups, but they were created by consultants," said Sorrel, speaking at Tuesday's steering committee meeting.
The four versions currently under review were drafted by a consultant following committee discussions to provide a starting point for technical analysis.
The maps feature mixed-use development on the north side of Estes near the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard intersection, residential development closer to the schools, and a mix of office, institutional and higher density housing to the south. Proposed building heights along Estes range from two to four stories, with five to eight stories suggested for some interior parcels of land.
But some committee members argue a fifth map should be included, namely a lower density version drafted by an unofficial subset of the group who say they can't support any of the committee's concept plans.
The alternative plan limits building heights to three stories, adds more single-family housing to Estes and leaves some interior parcels untouched. Supporters of the alternative plan say it is responsive to neighbors concerns about vehicle traffic, pedestrian safety and environmental conservation. Four members of the committee, including Julie McClintock, delivered a letter to the group asking that the alternative plan be presented to the public for feedback.
"There hasn't been any real dialog in order to collectively come up with something that will also match what the citizens want," said McClintock. "That was actually the reason the steering committee was formed."
However, many on the committee worry that this alternate plan is too small in scale. Committee co-chair Amy Ryan said while she's willing to consider a less-dense scenario, the alternate plan would be a missed opportunity to plan for increased transit usage and affordable housing in the area.
"I don't think I would go as far as this because one of the real opportunities that I see in this area is we are on the major transit corridor in town," said Ryan. "One of the goals the town is trying to do is we're trying to get that transit ridership which will keep people off our streets. We're trying to house more people who aren't at the upper ends and maybe can't afford a single family house. I think this is a really good place to try and do that."
Others in the group took their criticism further. Whit Rummel, who owns undeveloped land on Estes Drive, said the lower-density plan lacked vision.
"What I'm really concerned about is if we go with something like this that has no center, no core, no heart, no vision, we have lost," said Rummel. "We have lost what we came to do. We have been sold out by people in this neighborhood who want to keep it [zoned] R1. And that is not our vision."
Nonetheless, McClintock said she plans to circulate copies of the alternate plan at next week's community meeting with or without the approval of the wider committee. This drew the ire of council liaison Jim Ward, who urged the group to present a united front.
"We haven't talked as a group about anything but those four maps in terms of having any kind of group discussion on it. I really would feel like you would be demonstrating very poor form if you pull out an alternative map that we have not had as a committee," said Ward. "You may feel very strongly about it, but that is not the place to do that."
The Central West Steering Committee is charged with creating a small area plan to be incorporated into the town's revamped comprehensive plan. The group is scheduled to submit its final report to the town council in November.
While the committee wrestles with the scale of the project, the process has begun to draw fire from citizens and elected officials outside the group, after a recent email from Town Manager Roger Stancil showed the cost of the consultant's work with the committee has jumped from $92,000 to $230,000.
Originally the town hired planning consultants from Rhodeside and Harwell to participate in four committee meetings and one community workshop. Now, that work plan has evolved to include 19 meetings, three community workshops and multiple concept plans.
The community will have a chance to evaluate the committee's work next week at an information session at the Amity United Methodist Church at 825 North Estes Drive.
The session will give residents the opportunity to provide feedback on the planning principals, goals and concepts the committee has developed. Members of the public are invited to drop in between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday September 10. The Central West committee will reconvene to assess the results of the community workshop on September 19.http://chapelboro.com/news/development/central-west-group-struggles-ahead-of-fall-deadline
CHAPEL HILL- Residents involved in planning the future of the Estes Drive/ Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard area unanimously endorsed a plan on Tuesday to create an off-street bike path to help children get safely to school.
The proposed path could run parallel to Estes from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Caswell Road, allowing students at Phillips Middle and Estes Hills Elementary to bike or walk to school while avoiding vehicle traffic on one of Chapel Hill's busiest roads.
Members of the Central West Steering Committee agreed the multi-use path would be the top priority for bike and pedestrian improvements to the area. They also called for bike lanes in the street, along with a sidewalk that runs the full length of Estes Drive.
Although committee members agreed turn lanes might be necessary in some places to ease congestion, the group rejected a plan to add a third lane all along Estes, saying that would widen the road too much.
Transportation Planning Manager David Bonk said the town has about $2.5 million in federal grant money available to bring bike and pedestrian facilities in the area in the next few years.
The group also discussed land use plans for the undeveloped parcels on Estes closest to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Currently, the Horace Williams Airport Hazard Zone prohibits those parcels from being developed, but committee members said once the airport closes, they'd like to see mixed use development with a focus on retail that serves the nearby residential communities.
Committee members stressed that whatever is built on the corner should complement the Carolina North campus eventually slated for the other side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The group is still in the early stages of land use planning discussions, with a goal of crafting a small area plan for the town council to review by December.
The committee will continue its work next Wednesday, meeting at 6 o'clock at the Chapel Hill Public Library.http://chapelboro.com/news/development/central-west-group-pushes-for-off-road-bike-path-for-estes

What is a Vehicle Restraint System?
Vehicle Restraint Systems, or wheel chocking systems are used to automatically restrain vehicles which are backed on to a loading bay while a dock leveller is used to assist with loading and unloading.
They serve two main purposes in the loading bay, firstly is prevents a vehicle being driven away before it is safe to do so. Also, they prevent trailer creep (which is explained in full further down the page) and its associated problems.
C-Mech is the sole UK distributor of the Calematic Automatic Wheel Chocking System. There are many choices available for vehicle restraint systems which vary both in cost and complexity. However, Calematic has proven to be one of the best due to unique features and many examples of remaining maintenance and damage free over a number of years. We have had many happy clients using the Calematic system, some of these include L'Oreal, Ford and Michelin.
What are the Main Features?
- Completely flush with yard floor when stowed away, so very difficult to damage and ideal when there is restricted room for vehicles turning to reverse on to a Loading Bay.
- Keeps operatives out of potentially hazardous yard area as system is fully automated and triggered by opening & closing the Loading Bay Door.
- Designed to be maintenance free and unaffected by typical Loading Bay debris.
- Unaffected by snow or ice and will even operate when submerged.
- Simple construction with only 5 mechanical parts per chock and no complicated sensors or control system. NO motors, bearings, chains, gears, hydraulics or grease.
- Operated by low pressure compressed air so eliminates potential Health & Safety or Environmental hazards associated with electrical or hydraulic operation respectively.
- Zero trip hazards as there are no surface mounted parts between adjacent vehicles when in use, and completely flush with floor level when not in use.
What is Trailer Creep?
This occurs when the lateral and vertical forces exerted each time a lift truck enters and exits a trailer cause the trailer to slowly move away from the dock resulting in separation from the dock leveler. Factors that affect trailer creep are:
- Weight and speed of the lift trucks and their load
- The surface of the yard the trailer is parked on
- Softness of the suspension
- Type of dock levelers

Holiday Coffee
Total Time

This is delicious! I use a tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup of coffee. You could always change the amounts to suit your tastes. It would be nice to serve this with chocolate spoons. To make chocolate spoons melt chocolate chips in a double boiler. Coat a teaspoon with the chocolate. Place on parchment paper and freeze. Happy Holidays!

Lovely coffee, just the thing for my afternoon coffee treat on this chill almost Dec day. The spicing is excellent and warming along with the hot coffee it's self. I did heavy up on the cinnamon a bit :D
5 plus susie! So simple and yet divine in taste. My g/f is a coffee crazed woman and at our dinner I served this. She is one to go to the coffee store for coffee but loved this and thought I had too. LOL Not I, I told her and gave her your recipe to go home with. Excellent. I did sweeten mine with 1/2 and 1/2 and enjoyed the last dregs before bed after all clean up was done. Thank you for a keeper. Made for Aus/NZ 33 Swap
My favorite things about this are- it's EASY!! and also, how the amounts of milk and sugar to add are left up to choice. Sadly, I don't have a real coffee machine, so I used instant: I simmered the spices (double!!) in the water for a few minutes on the stove, then added some coffee granules and mik (about 1/4 cup per cup of water). I sweetened it with just a touch of agave nectar. Lovely basic, warm, comforting- what's not to like? Thanks for posting!

Here's a new photo trend going around online. People are taking FAKE vacation photos in exotic places, and passing them off as real.
The main technique is to put a picture of a vacation spot up on your TV or computer screen . . . then pose in front of it so it looks like you're there.

Wilkin Ramirez is heading to Erie
When the Tigers optioned Clete Thomas to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, it furthered a logjam in the Mud Hens outfield, which already had Casper Wells, Ryan Strieby, Brennan Boesch and Wilkin Ramirez. The plan was to rotate four outfielders between the three starting spots and the designated hitter.
Once Thomas was sent down, something to happen. Now we know: Wilkin Ramirez has been transferred to Double-A Erie.
Ramirez isn't simply repeating the same level in back-to-back years. He spent all of last season at Triple-A Toledo except for a couple one-day stints in Detroit. Essentially, Ramirez is repeating a level he completed in 2008.
UPDATE @4:30pm: Team president/GM Dave Dombrowski confirmed the move is a matter of clearing up the logjam in Toledo. He also said Ramirez will play center field most of the time there, continuing a move to center that began in winter ball.
Injury updates: Slow going for Miner
The roster is set, the bags are packed and the Tigers are about to head north. It's a pretty quiet morning here in Lakeland. It's a travel day except for those who are staying back. Jeremy Bonderman is one of them, since he'll be pitching in a minor league game this weekend to stay fresh between now and his scheduled start next Saturday in Detroit. The other two guys are the injured Tigers, Zach Miner and Bobby Seay.
Seay, we know, is going to be here a while. He's going to get his rehab plan from Dr. James Andrews shortly, and then go about the exercises he needs to strengthen his shoulder and take stress off his torn rotator cuff, or at least the specific tendons involved in the tear.
Miner, meanwhile, looks like he's going to be on the disabled list longer than the minimum stay. Because the Tigers placed on the DL last week, he's eligible to be activated as soon as next weekend, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. While his arm is getting a lot stronger, he still has some discomfort in his elbow. He isn't going to be cleared to throw until he's pain-free, so it's slow going right now.

1. Even if you are not all that tired, you can just kind of lie there and think about stuff, which is essentially what cats do all the time anyway and which is an experience that is not in any way diminished by being all snug under the covers …
Via mariamedia.net
2. … eventually you are going to fall asleep anyway, because it's exhausting work sitting around and thinking about stuff.
3. You can push two beds together for companionship, but keep separate comforters so that no one is trying to spoon all up on your business while you're trying to sleep.
4. Water on the right, food on the left, relaxing in the middle. This is called "minimalist living" and it's super trendy and sophisticated right now.

11. Sometimes paparazzi will come up and take photographs of you and you can look right at them and say, "Yeah, that's right. I'm a cat. Sleeping in a tiny cat-sized bed. What are you going to do about it?" This is a profoundly satisfying thing to say
12. You can totally feel free to coordinate your cat mattress and pillows with your cat ottoman. Nobody is going to fault you for that.
13. Ain't no rule that says you can't lick yourself before you sleep. Go right ahead - lick your bad self.

In what police are calling a bias incident, the word "Jew" was painted on an apartment building in Hoboken. Next to the word is an arrow pointing to a second floor window, as reported by The Jersey Journal's Anna Yukhananov in today's editions.
The graffiti was scrubbed off hours later, but people who passed by the building at Bloomfield and 5th streets were insulted and disturbed by the image.

Nikki Reed went to the Burberry fashion show in London & E! Online got some great details from our Rose:
"It takes a lot of balls, no pun intended, to stand and pose like that," Reed said. "I wouldn't have the guts to stand there naked like that."
Unless, she added with a laugh, "I looked like Eva Mendes."
Reed, however, wasn't as chatty about Breaking Dawn. "We're making it, I do know that," she said. "It is happening. As for an exact date, I don't know."
Asked if it's going to be made into two flicks, she teased, "I do know the answer to that."

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Two men have admitted selling nearly 1,300 counterfeit silver dollar coins at eight pawn shops in just two days in Syracuse and elsewhere in Central New York.
Williams Jaimes Thompson-Reinaud and Carlos Jezan Leon-Barahona pleaded guilty last week in Syracuse federal court to conspiring to defraud the pawn shop owners by selling the fake coins May 7 and 8 for a total of nearly $26,000.
Thompson-Reinaud and Leon-Barahona admitted they'd sold or possessed 2,755 fake silver dollars.
Syracuse police officers had been interviewing pawn shop owners about the counterfeit sales May 9 when one of the owners notified the officers that the two men were walking on North Salina Street, according to affidavit filed by U.S. Secret Service Special Agent John Szydlik.
Thompson-Reinaud and Leon-Barahona had 338 counterfeit silver dollars in plastic bags when the officers stopped them, the affidavit said.
The two men were carrying identification showing they're from Honduras, the affidavit said. Leon-Barahona also had a fictitious U.S. permanent resident card, Syzdlik wrote.
Thompson-Reinaud and Leon-Barahona, whose ages were unavailable, told pawn shop owners the coins were minted in the U.S. in the 1800s and early 1900s, Szydlik's affidavit said.
They sold the coins for $15 apiece at Behind the Iron Gate and at U.S. Jewelry Exchange, two shops in Syracuse, according to the affidavit. In the same two days, they also sold the fake coins at pawn shops in Binghamton, Owego and Cortland, the affidavit said.
Thompson-Reinaud and Leon-Barahona were charged in other states along the eastern seaboard with selling counterfeit coins, which were manufactured by someone in New York City, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Gwendolyn Carroll. The Syracuse case was the only one in federal court, she said.
The Secret Service was looking for Thompson-Reinaud starting in 2011 on allegations that he and another man were selling fake silver dollars in Virginia, Ohio and and Indiana, according to a 2011 story in Coin World magazine.
The fake coins passed magnet and weight tests for authenticity, Szydlik wrote. But they did not pass an "acid scrape" test that uses a chemical reaction, he wrote. Pawn shop owners are reluctant to use that test because it involves scraping metal from the coin, Szydlik said.
The two defendants each face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

After being hit by snow storm after snow storm, week after week, Hudson County can find some new life and relief at Jersey City's LITM.
LITM (Love is the Message), a restaurant, bar and art gallery, will open a new exhibit tonight entitled, "EMERGE!"
According to curator Andrea Morin, "EMERGE! was inspired by the yearning for spring in the midst of a long cold winter."

The show will feature a variety of artists like Jade Kuei, Fernin Mendoza, Bonnie Gloris, Stephen Chopek and more.
"Some of the works are literal depictions of spring," said Morin. "Others are more interpretive depictions playing with themes of coming alive and breaking out."

LITM will be selling red and white wine for $3 and offering one free hot toddy to anyone who arrives before 8 p.m., according to restaurant officials.

I set up my camera and snapped only a few shots, there were rain drops on my lens and I was chilled to the bone...this was one of only a few shots taken that night before I decided to head back inside and return when it's warmer (or drier)
Thanks BlogTO for adding this as one of your selections this week, and thanks to everyone who gives me your vote!! I hope to be contributing much more next year!!

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Much more MACtion will be headed to a television, laptop or mobile device near you in the coming years.
The Mid-American Conference and ESPN announced on Tuesday a new 13-year deal through 2026-27 to expand coverage of football, men's basketball and women's basketball and other conference sporting events.
The deal is worth more than $100 million, according to several media reports, meaning each school would go from receiving $90,000 per year from the previous media contract to more than $650,000 per year.
"This is a historic day for the Mid-American Conference," said MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher. "ESPN and the MAC have a long history together and were visionary in embracing mid-week football which continues to be a significant presence on the ESPN college football calendar. The length of this partnership brings long term stability for the Conference well into the next decade."
The new contract with ESPN guarantees the coverage of every MAC football game and select men's and women's basketball and Olympic sports events through 2026-27.
In a prepared statement, Western Michigan University president John Dunn, an avid sports fan, said the winners of the new deal are MAC fans.
"The Mid-American Conference has long been recognized for its stability and commitment to academic excellence," Dunn said. "The new contract with ESPN is a win-win for both the MAC and ESPN and enhances a long-standing and positive relationship. The winners, of course, will be our fans, who will have the opportunity to see expanded coverage of MAC teams and athletic competition at its best."
The MAC and Time Warner Cable SportsChannel came to terms on a three-year regional broadcast deal in August. Details of that agreement stated that some TWC broadcasts would be available on ESPN3. It's to be seen how much the TWC deal affects the new larger ESPN broadcast deal.
There is work to do to establish what can essentially be thought of as a smaller, less extensive version of ESPN's SEC Network.
Each MAC school will establish on-campus production capabilities that will help provide broadcasts of Olympic sports on ESPN3, an online entity of the parent network. An ESPN3 player will be embedded on the official MAC website at www.mac-sports.com and individual school websites.

Enablon, IHS and SAP Lead in Environmental Management Software, Verdantix Reports
Enablon, IHS and SAP lead the environmental management software market, according to a new study from analyst firm Verdantix.
The report, Green Quadrant Environmental Management Software (Global) 2012, compares 12 environmental management software applications. The analysis is based on interviews with 15 buyers representing firms and public authorities with more than $1 billion in revenue, supplier responses to a 115-point questionnaire, and supplier interviews.
The three market leaders — Enablon, IHS and SAP — have established market positions ahead of other suppliers because of the breadth of their environmental management functionality and regulatory coverage, Verdantix says.
The report also praises the extent of the applications' pre-built workflows and task management processes, functionality for environmental reporting and performance analysis, pre-built connectors to integrate with other systems, and large customer bases.
Four other suppliers — BSI, Enviance, Locus Technologies and MetricStream — offer a compelling feature/function set and have large-scale deployments, according to the study.
Additionally, CRedit360, FirstCarbon Solutions, Gensuite, Intelex, and PE International all offer highly customizable software that adapts to their customers' environmental management processes and meets their specific needs, the report says.
Previously, compliance and risk reduction drove companies to implement environment, health and safety software, Verdantix analyst Emilie Beauchamp said. However, the new study shows customers in sectors including chemicals and manufacturing are turning to software to improve their environmental performance (see chart). Beauchamp says software suppliers now offer increasing capabilities to allow firms to manage and report their greenhouse gases, hazardous waste, water, toxic releases, toxic chemicals and refrigerants.
As part of the survey, Verdantix asked a multi-industry customer panel about how their environmental management software spending will change over the next three years. Thirty three percent said it would increase by more than 25 percent, 27 percent of respondents said it would increase by up to 25 percent, and 33 percent said it would stay the same. Only 7 percent thought it would decrease by more than 25 percent.
The research firm says this suggests that spending increases on environmental software will outstrip spending increases on environmental performance, which will range between a CAGR of 12 percent in the US and 8 percent in Germany over the next three years.
A July report by Verdantix said Deloitte, ERM, Fujitsu Services and Mahindra Satyam are among the tech service companies that will reap the benefits as large US firms spend $2.5 billion annually on technology consulting and systems integration relating to their energy and sustainability initiatives by 2015.
In November 2010 Verdantix ranked IHS as one of 10 leaders in the carbon and energy software market.
In June, SAP released the latest version of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety Management application.

In related news, Popeye the sailor-man has published a report of the top Spinach eaters in the world. Of the 12 people surveyed, 12 named Popeye as the best.
Seriously though. How can it be a published report of the top Environmental Management Companies if only 15 companies were surveyed. The bias wreaking from this report is disgusting and shows 0 true colors of the landscape of the Environmental Management field. Verantix should be ashamed of themselves. If they truly wanted to paint a biased picture without looking so completely lost, then they should have hired someone who knows how to fix the numbers.

|[TowerTalk] grounding coax to boom and tower
|email@example.com (N2TK)
|Tue, 5 Jun 2001 16:34:06 -0400
What's the recommended hardware to bond the shield of the coax on the house side of the balun to the boom, mast or tower leg? Based on the input from towertalk I am going to ground the shield of each coax. Do I use Polyphaser hardware or ?? I see UNI-Kits listed. Is this the way to go? Do I have to worry about dissimilar metal problems with the UNI-Kits with either the coax, boom, or mast? What about soldering copper strap to the coax shield and clamping it to the boom, or is this what the UNI-Kits do? Tnx Tony N2TK List Sponsor: Are you thinking about installing a tower this summer?
