It's not a project I'd want to take on.
Well I can well understand that you don't have the Challenge Anthea or the Fev rebuild stand zeal, you are a hard working man who may be struggling in the present continuing recession. There are however Eagles fans with skills and spare time, or they know someone who can, change an under used sports stadium into a Centre for Eagles continuing excellence. We need a central base, a club house, a meeting point, where fans can continue to enthuse about the team, build and progress support......

Rather than Woodbourne Road (another athletics stadium) maybe it might be worth someone at the Eagles approaching Richard Timms at Sheffield Club. They were on about building their own new smaller stadium (5,000 or 10,000) at Olive Grove. It has gone quiet recently on that front, perhaps they are struggling to raise the cash to build it, perhaps a joint venture with Sheffield Eagles could see it through to fruition??
I'ts no longer used as an athletic stadium as far as I know, just a bit of five aside football abuse is practiced there!!!!!

No. 2: Go to a drive-in movie
In the late 1950s, drive-in movie theaters were everywhere. But, so were guys putting grease in their hair and women wearing poodle skirts. While we don't need to bring back everything from the '50s, some of it is still fun.
They are few and far between, but if you look around, you might find a drive-in nearby. And if that's the case, you can put your friends in the car -- don't forget to sneak in a couple your smallest passengers in the trunk just for old time's sake -- load up a cooler and make tracks to the drive-in.
Need a break between any of the three movies? A lot of them have playgrounds for the kids (assuming they are still awake past the first movie) and their snack bars are nothing short of awesome.
Sounds good, but how can I save on gas?

Got his MoJo's working
By Ben Penserga, Daily Times staff writer
SALISBURY (Feb. 20, 2013) — In college, Joel Olive had a goal for himself —own a restaurant by age 25.
He failed.

"I actually signed the paperwork for MoJo's a month and 20 days before my 26th birthday," says the chef/co-owner of the Salisbury eatery. "So I kind of reached that goal —it wasn't open at 25, but I felt like I was going to keep pushing for it."
Still only 27, Olive's career continues to rise from a freshman who had no intention of being a chef in college.
In 10 years, his path has taken him from dorm cook to restaurateur. And with about 15 months at the helm of MoJo's, he has no intention of slowing down.
The professional drive Olive (first name pronounced "Joe-EL") possesses is hidden by a laid-back demeanor.
He sits slightly slouched in one of the booths of his restaurant, eyeing the weekday lunch crowd trickling in. Even dressed in his black chef's jacket with a white MoJo's dog mascot adorned over the left breast, nobody seems to notice him.
Not that Olive minds.
"I'm a pretty modest person —I don't go on too many vacations, I don't have a lot of flashy things," he says. "I have my car and my house and that's it."
It could have been different for Olive, who arrived in Maryland from Philadelphia in 2003. The plan since high school was to become a physician's assistant or possibly a doctor.
"I did my first year, I had good grades, my parents were happy, but I kind of woke up one day and said, 'I just don't like going to class,' "he said.
On Sundays, Olive would usually host a big meal for his friends in the dorms of University of Maryland Eastern Shore. After one dinner, someone suggested he might want to consider switching over to the university's hotel and restaurant management program.
He switched majors.
"I was excited to cut vegetables, I was excited to chop onions," he said, smiling at the memory. "I was just stoked about it. Not only did I enjoy class, but I was going toward something I was going to keep enjoying."
After UMES, Joel found himself about 13 miles north at Market Street Inn in Salisbury where he served as executive chef for five years.
"He wanted that position," said Rob Mulford, Market Street Inn's owner. "Joel was a very hard worker and honest —he was always at Market Street Inn and that is important in this business, knowing that it is long hours and you will always need to be there."
Mulford saw enough in Olive to have an equal partnership in their next venture, MoJo's, which the two opened in November 2011.
Olive spends 12-16 hours there, not only cooking but handling money, booking parties and other things outside the kitchen.
"Everyone thinks a restaurant or any business is a cash-cow, but it's not," he says. "It costs a lot of money to do and it costs a lot of money to maintain."
Before the dinner rush, Olive is back in the kitchen doing what he loves. This evening, he's hauling large steam trays filled with ribs to a prep station.
Someone hands him a spoonful of sauce to taste. He takes it, considers it and then spits it out.
"I get the heat, but I don't think the flavor is there," Olive says.
While the rest of the kitchen whirls with action —servers picking up food, staff running hot pans back and forth —Olive remains at a steady speed, never fazed by anything.
It's a trait even one of his mentors admires.
"Joel is a natural," said UMES Chef Ralston Whittingham. "He has a culinary 'mise en place,' which is French for having things in place both mentally and physically. Joel personifies that phrase; he is always ready."

A month or so back they lost out to Avignon in the semi final of the Lord Derby Coupe up at Albi in extra time and would you believe did the same yesterday. Tied up at 22-22 at full time with Pia's Maxime Greseque grabbing an equalising penalty goal in the last minute and then seeing the Catalans take it with the golden point. The day before the TOXIII juniors U21s also saw their season finish when they lost their play off semi against Carcassonne 28-24 after finishing as runners-up on the competition ladder to the Catalans of St Esteve.
The crowd at Minimes Sunday was the biggest I think since Widnes played there in the CC quarter Final in 2005. Richard Agar the new French coach was present for the first game and was in Perpignan the day before.
By all accounts two absolute cracking games. St Esteve-XIII Catalan, the Dragons feeder club reached their first ever Final with a last minute try to beat Lezignan 18-16. So its an all Catalan affair at Stade Brutus next Sunday afternoon. For Toulouse their next important challenge will be to mobilise support for the Super League clash at Stade Ernest Wallon in June when the Dragons play Hull KR.

Pink Banana Theatre wrestles with truth, Internet in 'Dark Play'
When we first meet Nick in Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play," now on stage at Pink Banana Theatre Company in a production that opened over the weekend, he's a blandly attractive, seemingly wholesome collegian — "pretty much indistinguishable," as he'll later tell us, "from any other college kid."
But there's more here than initially meets the eye, as we learn when the woman sharing Nick's dorm-room bed begins asking about the web of scars along his waistline. Does Nick tell Molly the truth about these now-healed wounds? Or should he do as he's always done and make "stuff" — Nick uses a different word — up? »Read Full Article(1)

Third body found in Guatemala sinkhole
February 25, 2007
GUATEMALA CITY -- Emergency crews Saturday found a third body in a 330-foot-deep sinkhole that had swallowed a dozen homes and forced the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people in a crowded Guatemala City neighborhood.
The body of Domingo Soyos, 53, was carried out of the enormous fissure and identified by family members, medical crews said.
Soyos was the father of teenagers Irma and David Soyos, whose bodies were found floating in a river of sewage soon after the sinkhole opened Friday.
Residents said there were other people unaccounted for, but emergency crews could not confirm that.
Officials blamed recent rains and an underground sewage flow from a ruptured main for the tragedy. The pit emitted foul odors, loud noises and tremors, shaking the surrounding ground. A rush of water could be heard from its depths, and authorities feared it could widen or other sinkholes could open.
Police evacuated nearby homes and cordoned off a 500-yard perimeter around the crater. Security officials were on guard for possible looters and curious onlookers.
"Warren, are you there?"
You know, that's all I'm asking for is a golf course with cups THAT size. I could probably get down in three from off the green that way.
On the courses I play, imagine how big that would make the fiberglass windmill!
Ruptured main? 330 feet deep? C'mon, even if they ran the main 33' deep, it's not going to erode 300' deep. Besides, where is the broken pipe sticking out of the sides of the hole? Looks to me like they unwittingly built the town over an underground chasm and the roof finally gave out.
Sewer caving.
They obviously meant 500 FEET...or meters.
My aunt was an archaeologist in the Yucatan, and these naturally occurring sinkholes are all over the place. They're called cenotes. The ancient inhabitants used to throw maidens into them as sacrifices.
There have been several articles in National Geographic from the 1960s forward. A recent one showed photographs of a cenote that's connected with the ocean by underground passages. Some (really brave and really stupid) scuba divers actually went through.
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand
No kidding, that hole looks well, biblical!
Holy crap.
I must admit, it does.
What are those things and why did you bring Kevin Bacon into it?
Terrific Work! Both of you! ROTFL!
Kevin Bacon was just along for the ride. Fred Ward was da man.
LOL....Here we go. Put Bush as superman coming out of that hole....
Damn! Her agent IS GOOD!
This will make you dizzy...that is if my link works.
Good one! I wish I had an easy fast gif program.
Damn, the Statue of Liberty including it's base could fit in there with more than 40ft left over.
Shhhhhh.... they're trying to scam FEMA.
Yeah Florida's aquifer runs underground all over the state, we're full of underwater caverns and sinkholes. Way back when I was at FSU we had professors that had mapped miles (held a world record IIRC) of underground caverns connecting lakes all over the place. I actually got college credits learning to scuba dive.
When I was a kid, I remember folks studying the lakes around town dropping bright dye in one, only to have it pop up in other lakes a ways off.
Too much!
Well... the link works but to see the vid you need to select the 'descent' video from the menu to the right of the player screen other wise you'll be watching a guy tussl with a rather large python.
Bwhahahha! The Mahdi?
OMG. My thoughts exactly. That is right out of a horror movie. Did someone post how deep that thing is?
Give me Hamm on five, hold the Mayo.
Your comment is precisely why I enjoy coming on here daily. Always sure to get one or more true LOL moments.
You forgot to photoshop in the Mickey Mouse doll and other toys strewn about the hole.
"A spokesman for the municipal water authority, said the sewage main ruptured after becoming clogged. He said the city was aware of the blockage and the army had been considering a controlled explosion to clear the pipe, which carries both rainwater and sewage for much of the capital."
"The hole emitted foul odors, loud noises and tremors, shaking the surrounding ground."
Sounds like that Guatemalan cuisine is powerful stuff.
If it was a brick or clay main -- and a lot still are, even in the US, even today -- it would probably break off flush with the edges of the hole. But you're right that there was probably an undetected cavern beneath, and the ruptured main eroded through a couple dozen feet to the deeper existing hole.
If that happened to my house, and if I survived, I'd be mad. Not because my house was destroyed -- it's insured. But because I didn't know. I could've sunk pilings down to bedrock to support the house, drilled down from the basement, and had my own Batcave! How cool would that be?
I'm so glad we live on granite.
Never take it for granite.
Oh, the hugh manatee!!!
Looks like that ugly palestinian woman with the enlarged mouth.
No sinkholes, but the radon's gonna get ya.
My dad's family is in Orlando, and I was down there when the Winter Park sinkhole opened up. It was pretty amazing -- slow enough that there were no fatalities or serious injuries, but fast enough that some houses and cars were lost. The neighborhood swimming pool was cut in half.
I think, though I'm no geologist, that Florida is most vulnerable in times of prolonged drought -- when the aquifer recedes, the water that isn't there leaves a void. The soil is all porous and sandy, so it sinks. The technical term is Karst topography; you also see it in Minnesota, the "land of a thousand lakes," where the freeze-thaw cycle forces open cracks in the rock.

Health Connect website fixes are up to Shumlin for nowBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | October 29,2013MONTPELIER Leaders of the Vermont Legislature say that, for now at least, theyll leave it to the executive branch to rectify flaws in the new health insurance website. But House Speaker Shap Smith said he wants to hear about Gov. Peter Shumlins contingency plans sooner rather than later.
Amid growing concern over glitches on the online insurance marketplace launched earlier this month, minority leaders in the House and Senate last week called for a special session of the Legislature if Vermont Health Connect isnt fully functional by Dec. 1.
The threat of lapsed coverage for the approximately 100,000 residents being forced to purchase health policies on the exchange next year, Republicans said, demands some form of legislative intervention.
Smith and Senate President John Campbell, however, said Monday that the executive branch is in a better position to resolve the problems than lawmakers in Montpelier.
What I want to (be) careful about is the Legislature getting in the way of the executive branch trying to improve the exchange, Smith said.
Campbell and Smith both say theyre hopeful the glitches will be resolved by early next month. If they arent, though, they say theyre confident that Shumlin and his top advisors will have plans in place to avoid any catastrophic impacts on Vermonters.
Its not as if the administration doesnt know that theyre under a microscope with this one, and knowing the governor as well as I do, he is not somebody who is going to stand by and allow someone not to fulfill their end of this agreement, Campbell said. And if they get to a point where they say, OK, were not going to be up in time or not ready or this isnt working ... then Im sure theyll make a decision on Plan B.
While he thinks the sites functionality is improving steadily, Smith said Its hard for me to say whether everything will be online and ready to go.
Im not dealing with it on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour basis, Smith said. Im hopeful that it will proceed as the governor suggests, but I think that we have to be ready for any contingency.
Shumlin said last week that he is working on contingency plans, but that its too early to begin discussing them publicly. Smith said hell ask for a briefing on those plans soon. The same law that requires individuals and businesses with fewer than 50 employees to purchase coverage from the exchange also contains an escape clause that gives the Department of Financial Regulation the authority to unilaterally suspend that requirement, if conditions merit.
We have talked to (the administration) about having a contingency plan in place, and my view is that Id like to know what that plan is in the next week or so, Smith said.
Smith said he isnt taking the prospect of legislative action off the table. But he said he cant envision a scenario that would benefit from it, especially given the paper system backup that allows frustrated insurance consumers to bypass the Vermont Health Connect website altogether.
If it looks like there needs to be some kind of legislative action or legislative prodding to ensure people will be able to get the insurance they need, then well take that action, Smith said. But if people are still able to get insurance, Im not sure whether it makes sense for the Legislature to come back and just muddy the waters.

The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

A Year for Love1 of 11
By Claire Daniel for YourTango
Last year, we watched with surprise as celebrity couple after celebrity couple, once seemingly happy, suddenly split up. (Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?) Because each year brings its own love trends, we asked the experts to give their relationships-related predictions for 2011.
Monogamy Will Rule2 of 11
Relationship expert Lissa Coffey predicts that marriage — or at least monogamy — will become fashionable again. One only has to look to Katy Perry's luxe Indian bridal fete to see that commitment is the new black. Coffey says, "We will see a return to relationship-based values rather than material-based values."
ON YOURTANGO: Top 20 Scandals of 2010
Playing it Safe3 of 11
"More couples will hold off on marriage, and married couples will put off divorce/separation until the economy rebounds," predicts licensed therapist Don Boice, who has seen a surge in couples who were formerly married and now separated debating getting back together and trying to make it work.
Deal Breaker Revisions4 of 11
The Great Recession has radically transformed our values. Dale Koppel, Ph.D. and author of The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Online Dating, predicts men and women will "radically lower their expectations, especially in terms of physical appearance and age." How financially secure the other person is, he says, will be important.
Social Media Dating5 of 11
YourTango expert Julie Spira says, "Both singles and couples are super busy, often working harder with a smaller paycheck. As a result, you will see more relationships forming as a result of Twitter and Facebook. And yes, we will watch them break up in real time with their status updates. Skype dates and using your webcam to keep your relationship exciting while your beau is away will be on the rise."
Dating on the Go6 of 11
"I think 2011 will be the breakout year for mobile-based online dating," says Dan Abelon, cofounder and president of SpeedDate.com. "We are already seeing about 30 percent of all new users coming from our iPhone or iPad applications, and that number keeps increasing each month."

Smarter Sexting7 of 11
Kanye, Tiger, Brett ... seems like everyone's doing it, and getting caught. In 2011, expect to see new etiquette rules around this trend. Want to send your new squeeze a picture of your tatas that cannot be resent, copied or re-tweeted? Well, there'll be an app for that.
ON YOURTANGO: 10 Things Men Love About Women
Social Media Banning8 of 11
Inappropriate or flirty Facebook comments may lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings, even cross the line, blurring the territory between friendship and emotional cheating. "Those with an interest in maintaining their relationships will require their partners to abandon [social media]," says Farrah Parker, an interpersonal relationships instructor.
Family Matchmaking9 of 11
Expect to see more romantic hopefuls reaching out to family and friends for relationship connections and blind dates. "Young clients disappointed and disillusioned about their experiences with online dating tell me they're giving in to the possibility that family and friends might hold some potential," says Sharon Gilchrest O'Neill, therapist and author of A Short Guide to a Happy Marriage.
Traditional Roles Resume10 of 11
According to Paris-based astrologer Michel Perrin, men will start to make a comeback and take a leading-man role in relationships. "Uranus is now moving into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and therefore [is] starting a new 84-year cycle. As Aries is a masculine sign, men are more likely to be far more adventurous, strong and protective."
Love's in the Stars11 of 11
According to Perrin, here are some star-related predications for 2011, which line up with what our non-astrological experts are predicting: Commitment will be in; casual sex will be out; men will step up and take a greater role in the partnership dynamic; and love will be based on fun, adventure and spontaneity.

, in which he testified, "I can't go into the specifics here, but we do see [thefts] from defense industrial base companies. There are some very public [attacks], though. The most recent one was the RSA exploits."
China successfully used the information to hack into Lockheed Martin Corp. (
), a top U.S. defense contractor. It is thought that China's
remarkable progress
stealth fighter technology
has been fueled by
U.S. Department of Defense
Indeed a
massive amount of intellectual property
is being stolen from both the public and private sector by Chinese hackers, according to Gen. Alexander. The U.S. has
done precious little
to protect its own economic prosperity, as it has been overwhelmed by the Chinese thieves. One official in past commentary graphically described a cyberwarfare compaign of an unnamed nation state (suspected to be China) as "raping" the world.
Whether the Chinese government is perpetrating these attacks first hand, sponsoring third parties to conduct them, or merely condoning corporate interests to conduct them is almost as hazy as the sketchy financial ties the Chinese government holds to many of its private sector business (to be fair such allegations have increasingly been raised about the U.S. gov't).
But at the end of the day, the result is the same -- the destruction of the U.S. economy at the hands of the Chinese attackers.
Spearphishing and an unreleased Flash exploit allowed China to hack the RSA standard and steal secrets from U.S. DOD contractors, according to NSA testimony.

U.S. companies who speak out against the attacks are
threatened by the Chinese
. The Chinese government is more than willing to ban U.S. firms that rock the boat, locking them out of the lucrative emerging market of almost 1 billion internet-active device users.
Complains Gen. Alexander, "We need to make it more difficult for the Chinese to do what they're doing. Intellectual property isn't well protected, and we can do a better job at protecting it."
The security official shared interesting details of the attack. He says the RSA hack used a zero-day (unreleased) exploit of Adobe System Inc.'s (
) Flash player (somewhere the
spirit of Steve Jobs is smirking
) and used "spearphishing" (targeted phishing) to get an RSA employee to click on the offending executable, resulting on backdoors being installed on the company's servers. Ironically, the Subcommittee hearings were livecast using Flash.
II. Are the NSA's Cyber Command Efforts Really Helping?
Sen. Carl Levin
(D-Mich.) criticized Gen. Alexander's commentary as just lip service. He pointed out that a
DOD pilot program
to share malware signatures with defense contractors did not contribute significantly to new awareness, according to a
Carnegie Mellon University
Gen. Alexander responded, "Industry has a bunch of signatures, government has those too. All of us need to work together to provide the best set of signatures."
He then countered that private sector communications efforts have been hindered by red tape. He compares the situation to a bank robbery in which no one can tell the police. He points to one incident in which the NSA detected 3 GB of data being stolen, stating, "I think that industry should have the ability to see these attacks and share them with us in real time. It's like neighborhood watch. Somebody is breaking into a bank, and somebody needs to be in touch with the police to stop it."
Is the U.S. surrendering its future by allowing China to victimize its businesses and defenses with no response? The hacks may go down in U.S. history as the nation's first unofficial surrender. [Image Source: Allison Nazarian]
On the upside Gen. Alexander says DOD efforts to establish a Cyber Command outpost at every major geographical and functional Combatant Command branch are coming along nicely. He points to a major recent combat exercise at Nellis Air Force base as a sign of that progress.
Tensions between the U.S. and China are running high after the U.S. filed a
World Trade Organization
complaint against China
cutting off its supply of rare earth metals
. China argued
the complaint was unfair
and that it's all about playing by the rules.
U.S. Senate
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

Mr. (John) Fulghum, Mr. (David) Carabajal and Mr. (Jimbo) Martinez, you are dishonorable men.
Beeville's City Charter dictates that you are to take a specific oath of office when elected to serve on our City Council. You are to swear that you will preserve, protect and defend the charter and ordinances of this city. You have not honored that oath and have intentionally voted to not follow the ordinances or charter when you allowed Archer RV Park to be developed in the area that it's located.
Ladies and gentlemen, that area is a flood zone! They allowed this to be constructed without state, federal and local permits. They allowed tons of dirt to be shifted and added to this area, potentially changing flood plain boundaries and watershed flows. A 4-1 vote by council was also required to pass this into existence, per charter, but they passed it with a 3-2 vote. Many laws have been violated! I want to know which of these three men are going to come to the aid of the public if Elwood Terrace floods, or Emma Finke floods, or the low part of North Archer floods as a result of their actions. And what about the campers in that flood area? Do they even know they're in a flood zone? Has everyone forgotten what happens when it rains? That property collects runoff from the north, south and west of that property. What happens when Highway 181 drainage backs up? That whole area used to flood. Due to current topography changes, I wonder which direction that water is going to back up into now?
Mr. Fulghum, you made the first motion to make this happen. Mr. Carabajal, you seconded that motion. Mr. Martinez, you passed this into existence with your vote. You three should be ashamed of your inappropriate behavior and the potential harm you have placed on the citizens of this city by not following the laws you swore to uphold!
Mr. (former City Manager Tom) Ginter and Mr. (Lanny) Holland, I only asked all of you that you follow the law. If the permit to build this park was the reason you two are no longer here, I think you were wrongfully terminated; as it seems these three men made you scapegoats when they told you it was wrong, then voted to allow it anyway. Why didn't they just void the wrongfully-issued permit? And these three are leaders of our community? Heaven help us! Apparently, the law is beneath them.

Newell: Proposed raises paid for through savings
PARKERSBURG – Parkersburg City Council will consider $765,000 in pay increases due to reclassification of positions or raises this year as part of the proposed 2013-14 budget.
Mayor Bob Newell said those raises have been made possible through hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings due to attrition, the combining of positions and reduction of the city's debt.
"Last year in my budget message, I asked city council not to do anything with wages at that time because I wanted to settle some of the city's debt before we did anything," Newell said. "I didn't want it to come from the increases in revenue, I wanted it to come from within due to savings. Last year the council voted for a 20 cent increase."
Since then, Newell said, the city has managed to free up hundreds of thousands of dollars through changes in jobs and the elimination of debt. The city freed up $160,000 a year by paying off the city's recycling center and a new baler, and paying off debt for fire department equipment.
The city also paid off a nearly $40,000-a-year lease on software and saved $148,000 a year with a general liability insurance rebid.
Already this year the city has saved $125,000 by eliminating and combining positions, and Newell said a planned reorganization of the public works department will result in annual savings of $300,000.
Since he became mayor more than eight years ago, the city has saved $1.3 million due to reductions through attrition and combining positions.
The Parkersburg City Council Personnel Committee Tuesday approved a plan to reclassify about 40 positions within the city, in most cases resulting in pay increases.
Those changes will now go on to the full council for approval
The reclassifications were included in the proposed 2013-14 budget presented Tuesday evening to council.
Newell said the changes are intended to bring base pay rates into line with similar positions at other cities. The move will make recruiting for jobs easier and help the city retain qualified employees, Newell said.
In some cases the base pay rate placed employees below the national poverty line of an income of $23,000 for a family of four.
Newell said each step in classification equals about 50 cents an hour pay difference.
The changes total $84,868, and with benefits added in account for $106,085 in the proposed budget.
Newell said the budget also includes a $2-an-hour pay increase for all police officers, a $1-an-hour increase for all firefighters and a 70-cent-per-hour increase for all non-civil service positions.
Once benefits are calculated in, the total pay increases amount to about $765,000 a year, Newell said.
Two positions are being looked at for a reduction in pay. A benefits/legal specialist position would drop by one classification – a 50-cent-per-hour reduction – and a fire department administrative assistant would drop by two classifications, or $1-per-hour.
In both instances, the changes would not take effect until the current employee vacates the position and a new person is hired.
Newell said he expects the raises to be a topic of discussion during the upcoming budget hearings, but said it is a discussion he welcomes.
"I'm ready and able to defend the increases," he said. "We've reduced the city's debt and found savings due to attrition, and our city employees have been the ones behind getting that done because they've taken on more responsibilities. They deserve a raise."

Many of us have experienced that "can't leave the house for months because life is meaningless and everyone hates me anyway" feeling called clinical depression. If you're one of the lucky ones, you can take an antidepressant and get better. But a lot of depressed people don't respond to standard antidepressants, and that just sucks. Luckily, science has now figured out a new cure for depression, and it's this: just cheer up! Things aren't that bad! You could be homeless and eating out of a dumpster!
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
That's more like it! OK, go ahead and be depressed now.
Nah, just kidding. Depression is a serious illness, and anyone who thinks otherwise should stop reading now and go listen to angry talk radio or something. But it is true that people are figuring out new ways to treat it. For example ...
zilli/iStock/Getty Images
Ultrasound machines use high-frequency sound waves to show images of what's inside the human body, like a giant mechanical bat, except with more uncomfortably cold gel. They're not exactly uncommon in the medical world, but most of us associate them purely with things like diagnostic tests and pregnancy exams.
Via Medison
Congratulations! It's a kidney!
But ultrasounds can do more than just show bat-magic images of the inside of your body; they can also change the behavior of animals when applied to their skulls. A scientist at the University of Arizona heard about this and decided to try the same thing on humans. Or one human, to be specific: The guy used an ultrasound on his own brain. To his surprise, he experienced an "elevated mood" for an hour afterward. Rather than sitting there with the ultrasound wand to his head giggling for a week or two like most of us would, he decided to get approval to test it on others.
Sure enough, a double-blind study showed that patients with ultrasounded heads reported being in a better mood for about 40 minutes after their skull-wanding. Waving an ultrasound around one's scalp seems to provide humans with the necessary brain-tingles to get us out of a depression slump, at least temporarily.
How Does That Work?
Ultrasounds operate on a similar frequency to that of the structures in the brain that affect mood, which means that putting a bunch of bat-waves into your skull is a bit like turning up a song that your brain really, really likes. Ultrasounds can also focus on really small areas, meaning that they can potentially be used to target and zap particular parts of the brain structure.

3 Nicotine

Nicotine, the stimulant drug that occurs naturally in tobacco products, is usually lumped in with the thing people usually do with tobacco products: smoking. Until relatively recently, hardly anyone cared what, if any, benefits nicotine might have, because consuming the stuff was probably going to kill you. It would be like asking whether John Wayne Gacy was a good clown.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
There's no such thing as a good clown.
But since nicotine patches were invented in the mid-'80s, nicotine has been gradually losing its psychopomp reputation. More and more scientists have started asking, "Hey, why do people like to smoke so much?" The question gets relevant when you consider that people with depression are twice as likely to smoke as the non-depressed. Are those people depressed because of their brown teeth and future cancer death, or is it that depressed people are using nicotine to self-medicate?
Spoiler: It's probably the latter, because nicotine is just awesome at fighting depression. A 2006 study of depressed non-smokers assigned people either a nicotine patch or a placebo/glorified Band-Aid. Patients who wore the nicotine patch for eight days or longer reported a "significant" decline in depressive symptoms.
How Does That Work?
Turns out nicotine stimulates the part of the brain that regulates mood and increases your levels of dopamine and serotonin. This isn't to say that you should go out and start smoking to fix your sad; brain benefits don't cancel out addiction and dying of lung cancer. But strangely enough, once it's been removed from its tobacco birthplace, nicotine really isn't that addictive. When you take out all the tobacco-y goodness, it's almost impossible to get lab animals addicted to nicotine, no matter how much you push it on them.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Dammit, now how are we going to build up a captive market for rodent-size e-cigs?"
Still, a lot of scientists recommend that people don't rush out and self-medicate with nicotine patches, because the potential long-term health issues haven't been studied enough. But maybe one day soon, a safe nicotine-derived drug will come on the market, and then we can all thank generations of smokers for sacrificing their healthy lungs to science.

Re: If tony wins?
austin024 wrote:Ok so lets face it, Not alot of us like the chase. We all have said that its not fair or something along those lines. Theres the first 26 races, then last 10 for the chase, And how JJ's dominated in the last 5 years. I getting at this. tony hasn't done crap the first 26 races, but so far the last stretch here he has done great. So if he Wins the championship, will you all dog him like you have Jimmie the past 5 years? Saying that the chase isnt fair? Or will be hypocrits?
Not a great fan of the chase, BUT that being said, Look at the 12 teams in the chase, They have performed. Alot of people think Tony had a bad year, but actually what he had has some bad breaks, a couple of costly mistakes, How many races di he have a victory right there in his hands and SOMETHING happened.? if you look at where he actually ran, it makes sense. I am not counting JJ out either. The one thing about this new point system. is that it ain't gonna be over until the last lap at Homestead.

Why we love… Yaki!Thursday, March 19th, 2009
Yaki is a sweetheart Boston Terrier that's a regular player here at Dogtopia of White Flint!
Yaki is super-duper-cool because…
- When we first met her she was just 12 weeks old and you could literally hold her in the palm of your hand!
- She's a big girl now – one year old this past January, but she can still almost fit right in your hand. If only she'd hold still long enough
- The inspiration for the very first Dogtopia was a Boston Terrier named Griffin, so we're BIG fans.
- There's nothing cuter than Yaki taking a break on the futon… it's pretty much her futon.
- If the Romper Room were a high school Yaki would be the head cheerleader, prom queen and class president rolled into one! She makes friends with everyone and is never lacking for playmates.

April 14, 2011 —
Every screening of "Beautiful Darling" that I've attended since it premiered at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival, I was fairly certain would be the last. I have been (happily) wrong each time.
"Well, I should definitely go, because it might be the last time I see it on the big screen," I would think. And I would go, and I would usually be surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I started work on it five years ago. It was my first real editing job.
"Beautiful Darling" will be distributed by Corinth Films and will premiere on Friday, April 22 at the IFC center in New York City. After that, it is set to play a handful of art houses across the country (San Francisco, Denver, Boston) in the coming few weeks. A theatrical premiere is a dream for a low-budget independent documentary such as this. And our opening weekend box office numbers will dramatically impact how far our distributor is willing to take the film.
The documentary is a biography of Candy Darling, a transgender Andy Warhol superstar who was immortalized by Lou Reed in "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" and "Candy Says," and later acted in a Tennessee Williams play before dying at the young age of 29.
The film tells her story by weaving together her best friend Jeremiah Newton's present-day quest to bury her ashes with a patchwork of rare archival footage, old photos, present day interviews and movies that she starred in, all the while with Chloe Sevigny reading Candy's own inner thoughts from her private diary.
The film really gets at the essence of Candy's psyche, as well as diving into many of the interesting topics of gender and fame that her story brings up.
Since finishing the film creatively, I've been working on other things. The director James Rasin and the producers have all been working very hard to finish the film (license all of the footage, raise more money and submit it to different film festivals). They've worked to really get "Beautiful Darling" out there. The fact that the film's journey continues is a testament to the effort that's gone into it, but it's also a testament to Candy herself.
Jeremiah Newton, the co-subject of the film, is Candy's biggest fan. Including him in the story allowed us to bring up the ideas of time passing and memory. He often says in the film that it was never Candy's time before, and that now it is. I always took what he said with a grain of salt. Well, to be more honest, I didn't really buy it.
Recently, I was reading the free Metro newspaper on the subway. On the front cover was an article about transgender youth in the NYC (Candy was transgender), inside was a write-up on a current Warhol exhibit (Candy was a Warhol superstar) and Chloe Sevigny was heavily featured for the Big Love series finale (Chloe reads Candy's diaries in the film). Was Jeremiah right? Is society now ready for her story in a way that it wasn't before?
Boiled down, that story is basically the American Dream. Boy grows up on Long Island with a big dream of becoming a movie star and struggles to make it a reality. It just so happens that his dream is to become a female movie star. Just so happens that it this all takes place in New York City at a time when that sort of thing was far less acceptable than it is today. And it just so happens that Jimmy did transform into a beautiful woman.
One gets the idea from her diaries that it was not an easy task.
I was talking to James on the phone yesterday; he was going over the plan for the opening. In some ways, hearing about the current trials and tribulations of the film makes me feel guilty. I haven't been working on it with him for two years.
"Making the film, there are so many times when it feels like everything has fallen apart," he told me. "It becomes so clear that if you stop working, the film wouldn't get finished. So you keep going and it becomes almost like an obsession. But in a lot of ways, it was like 'this story is worth it. We can't stop now.'"
I'm glad he didn't.
Check out "Beautiful Darling" at the IFC center next week. It really is worth seeing up there on the big screen.

The Apawamis Club
Rye, New York
July 19-22, 2004
RYE, N.Y. â Peter Uihlein of North Dartmouth, Mass., fired his second-consecutive round of even par to win the Marsh Junior at Apawamis by five shots over Pete Alminas of East Longmeadow, Mass. Uihlein finished at 1-over-par 217.
For Nicole Smith of Riverside, Calif., a chip-in for birdie on the 18th hole completed a dominating performance in the Girls Division. She fired a 3-over-par 75 to win by 10 shots.
The Marsh Junior at Apawamis was a 54-hole tournament conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at The Apawamis Club in Rye, N.Y. The tournament featured 99 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 13 states, including 34 from New York.
Uihlein hit all nine greens in regulation on the front nine, with a birdie at the par-4 third hole. A double-bogey at hole No. 10 brought Alminas back into contention, but Uihlein responded with birdies at Nos. 11 and 13.
âI just kept hitting fairways and greens â thatâs all you can do on this course,â Uihlein said. âI just got a new driving iron and I used that all the way around.â
But it wasnât until No. 14 that Uihlein got the feeling he was going to win his first AJGA open event. After a quick-hook off the tee, Uihlein knocked a 3-iron onto the green from 240 yards out and two-putted for par. He would then par the remaining four holes.
âThis feels pretty good,â said Uihlein, who won the Nike Golf Junior at South Padre Island earlier this year. âThis win gets me into all of the other events I wanted to get in to. All of my friends at the David Leadbetter Academy have been to Thunderbird (International Junior) and Footjoy (Boys Invitational). Now Iâve qualified, too.â
In a tie for third, Carl Santos-Ocampo of Naples, Fla., and Christopher Gold of Haddonfield, N.J., shot tournament totals of 7-over-par 223 and Billy Macknis of West Chester, Pa., finished fifth with a 9-over-par 225.
Smith, who chipped in for birdie on hole No. 7 as well as No. 18, was the only player to fire three sub-80 rounds in the Girls Division. She finished at 11-over-par 227.
âI just wanted to go low today. I wasnât paying much attention to anything else,â said Smith, whose previous best finish was second at the 2003 I.R.I Golf Group Arizona National Junior. âI didnât go as low as I wanted, but it was enough.â
Smith had three birdies over a five-hole stretch in the middle of her round, putting her in control with eight holes still remaining.
âOn the back nine I was just making putts for par,â Smith said. âI wasnât putting well entering the tournament, but I made a lot of putts to save myself on the back. The chip-in on 18 was a great way to finish, especially because I didnât have to pull my putter.â
Kasi Lee of Paramus, N.J., finished alone in second place at 237. Michelle Grilli of Lutherville, Md., finished third at 238.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Grace Park, Christie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
For more information on the Marsh Junior at Apawamis, please call AJGA headquarters at (770) 868-4200.
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs.

What's the difference between the local TU chapters?
I think I'd like to join one of the local TU chapters, but I'm a little bit curious as to why there are three different chapters so close together. In the little bit of poking around that I've done, I've figured out that the Little River Chapter in Maryville split off from the Great Smoky Mountain Chapter in Knoxville to work with the Park Service to improve the fishery in the park, but what does the GSM chapter do now? Was the split amicable (unlike many of the typical church splits that we won't talk about here)? And what about the Clinch River chapter. I'm really more interested in the mountain streams than the tailwaters, but I don't know that I want to focus exclusively on the GSMNP. So, what do you folks recommend? Or should I just sit in on a chapter meeting or two with each group and see which one feels better?
Fly fishing - it's cheaper than a bass boat!
TU Chapters
The chapters are different, and you should go to one which suits you best. The Little River is the most active to my knowledge, ie Troutfest and meeting consistently. The Great Smoky Mountains group has some people who are active, but the chapter is not doing much these days. As for the Clinch River; similar (though someone may correct me) to GSM in that they have some active people, but as a chapter aren't doing much these days.
I would have to steer you toward Little River, though I am a member of GSM. They are active, and you will find that their members do more than just fish the park, or even trout for that matter.
This could make some folks mad, so I will try to tiptoe in with what little tact I posess.
Both the Little River and GSM chapters have done some really worthwhile things in the past. Notably the GSM championed the Quality Zone on the Clinch years ago, which was overturned by pressure from another organization known as LUCRO. Both have been heavily involved in projects in the Park over the years. I have not been to a TU meetings in eons, but they used to be a heck of alot of fun and informative.
The Clinch chapter is a different story. What started as a good chapter which sponsored river cleanups, and bank restoration projects became infiltrated by LUCRO the very organization which aims to never have any sort of special management on the river. The river clean-up projects were great, except for the tire removal aspect. What none of the people understood was that by removing the tires valuable habitat was lost. When we were hauling tires into our drift boats it was amazing the numbers of sculpins and stuff which used the tires as cover. We also, reared 700,000 fingerling rainbows a year for 3 years, which were raised from fish spawning in Clear Creek.
This is my opinion, the Clinch Chapter as of late seems to do nothing for the river. There are no more river clean ups, no more bank projects, no work done on the tribs in relation to spawning assistance. Several of their members came out in serious opposition to the new Slot limits, and several of their members have been witnessed and reported violating the slot limit on the Clinch as recently as last week. Some of this is third hand info, so take it for its worth.
If I was wishing to join one of the chapters I would look at the GSM or Little River. They have their priorities right IMO.
Stana Claus - like you, I fish the mountains more than the tail waters. So there is a natural draw to an organization that does so much for the park. I have attended and few LR chapter meetings and got a good feeling at each one. Seems to be a great bunch of folks.
That said, I am not currently a TU member. I let my membership expire a few months ago and need to attend a LR meeting to make sure they get credit for my membership.

Hi Santa,
When the Little River Chapter split off from the Great Smoky Mountains Chapter it was planned and amicable. I attended the board meetings of GSMC during the transition and served as the first President of the LRC. Both chapters still work together on the Acid Deposition Project in the Park and other projects. Our goal from the very beginning was to include both chapters in the Park projects. Members from both the Great Smoky Mountains Chapter and the Clinch River Chapter serve as volunteers at Troutfest and more are welcome and encouraged to participate. A member of the Great Smoky Mountains Chapter coordinates all volunteer efforts in the Park. A member of the Clinch River Chapter serves on the Troutfest Steering Committee.
The idea to form a new chapter to work directly with the Park came from the Tennessee Council of TU in 1992. Bill Guinn, who was Chairman at the time contacted me.
The Clinch River Chapter is heavily involved in education. They hold some great fly tying classes during the winter and hold a fly fishing school for youth in the Spring. They are also working on the new Trout Camp to be held at the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. Other chapters will be involved in that. Funding will come from several chapters.
Thanks for the info, everyone. Follow-up question - If I join a chapter and decide that it's not the right fit, how hard is it to switch my membership to a different chapter?
Fly fishing - it's cheaper than a bass boat!
You can call membership services at Trout Unlimited and ask to be changed. You might be able to get it done with e-mail but I know the phone call works. Be sure to know the Chapter three digit number. That might avoid mistakes.
I'm also pretty sure you can attend any chapter's meeting, without actually being a member. They usually just ask if there are any new people present and if they would like to introduce themselves. I've been to meetings of all three chapters and enjoyed all of them.
If a chapter is becoming stangnate, maybe a dose of fresh blood would be good for it. I guess it depends on how much you want to contribute. We all need extra help.
Everyone can help in some way.

WELL; what an interesting topic. I'll offer my unsolicited perspective if you will indulge me okay?
I moved here from Maine in July but have not yet "transferred" to a chapter here in TN.... I spoke with Rufus King from the Little River Chapter the other night and will "park" my lifetime membership with this chapter because they are a lot more than a fishing club & hold true to the original values of protecting, conserving and restoring our cold water fisheries.
IMO membership without service will not be rewarding.... kind of like joining a gym and expecting to get in fine physical shape without actually showing up and doing the hard work. Your participation will bless you 100 fold and you will find the reward no less than equal to your personal effort.
I have been a member of the Kennebec Valley Chapter (wicked famous as they have two Golden Trout awards in the last 10 years) where I served in too many ways from president, newsletter writer and most importantly the person who researched and wrote all the paperwork on more than a dozen hydro re-licensings with the Federal Energy Regulaory Commission.
National TU is a huge joke; count on them for nothing but usurping the credit for your chapter's hard work & success.
If you get "Trout" magazine you will see how National TU claims all the credit for the removal of the Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine as one of the landmark events in TU Nationals history.... the fact is they had absolutely nothing to do with the effort other than a 10K donation so I could hire to experts to offer opinions on the expense of dam removal and the "economics" of dam removal.
TU National is run by two faced snakes that will shoot you in the back if it makes them look better.
When I was asked to research and write a huge "filing" in opposition to Madison Paper Industries proposal to increase the height of their dam (which would back water natural spawning habitat) National TU decided they would not deliver the 114 copies of my written intervention to FERC because they found out that The New York Times newspaper owned more than 50 percent of the dam & paper mill.
Charlie Gauvin feared repercussions by the NEW YORK TIMES so without saying a word to me or our chapter decided to not deliver our paperwork by official courier by the deadline. Essentially Charlie Guvin feared TU would be painted as too liberal at a time when he was trying to drive up membership numbers. He told me that I was taking one for the team by screwing me and our chapter and most importantly the river we love. The dam now backwarters an additional mile of previously riverine trout spawning habitat.
TU membership is all about what you can PERSONALLY do in your own backyard to protect, enhance restor what you value and enjoy. The Little River chapter is involved in so many different activities that it appears there is something for everyone. Membership in the lame National organization that is run by enviromental global warming whackos that have a political & social agenda beyond their mission statement is unfortunate IMO but what YOU can do locally is ALL important.
You have given nothing unless it hurts; if you won't work hard to protect what you love you will loose it and unfortunately most outdoors people and fishermen are takers not givers.
I don't enjoy fishing freestone creeks like those in the park as I have a bad foot and cannot negotiate streams full of greasy boulders without hurting myself But the LR chapter is actively pursuing goals that I beleive in and that is why I would be honored to help them out in whatever capacity I may be of value.
I enjoy big tailwaters the most & wish the other chapters in this area were as involved as the LR chapter because I would really like to work tpward obtaining more public access for wading anglers on the Holston below Cherokee Dam. While such an idea may seem impossible so didn't removing a dam in 1984 against the desire of it's owners and that only took me fifteen years.
I look forward to meeting folks like Byron and Rufus and hope there is something I can do to help out....
You will be blessed and rewarded for your participation regardless of the chapter you join. If the chapter is weak be their inspiration by personal example.
BTW What is LUCRO?
LUCRO stands for Landowners and Users of the Clinch River Organization. They were very vocal against the slot limits that were imposed on the Clinch River several years ago.
You can google lucro, clinch river, tn and you'll pull up some articles on them.

Gad Zooks, August is here, and the summer is two-thirds over. I always have a bit of a panic attack this time of year --- not ready for summer to be over, but feeling the change of seasons begin to invade my being at some deep visceral level. I have long placed this feeling upon my friend Orion's arrival in the early morning eastern sky. Haven't seen him for months, and now he again talks to me in these wee hours --- telling me to watch for his glory to begin again as he shows the way through the night.
Enuff of that sort of stuff, and back to my Sunday Synopsis. This week with Miss M has been one of fits and starts -- she and her mother had made a commitment with a friend for a picture taking spree --- sort of a pre-senior picture extravaganza. The pictures turned out quite nicely as Miss M is a very photogenic young lady. However, the activity did eat into our project time. Nevertheless, even with this interruption and a day of not feeling well, we did manage to finish all of the edits for the Uncle Ralph's Letters Project.
Then, we tackled a group of pictures that had just come into my hands, relating to my aunt, Gail Sigford. I identified and described the pictures and locations. Miss M scanned the pictures into their appropriate locations. This sounds like a rather simple task, but it took much more time than either of us anticipated!
As we were wrapping up the scanning project, I just happened to ask M a question about photos -- photos relating to the Uncle Ralph's Letters project (URL), which we are now ready to embark upon. The question had to do with Picassa and the Gimp, which are my only two photo manipulation programs. M looked at my Picassa files, her brow furrowed and her fingers flew over the key board. She muttered to herself, reminding me of her father when he becomes one with the computer. The upshot was that unfortunately Gram had no idea what she was doing with Picassa!!! So she saved what I absolutely knew that I wanted, deleted the rest and reloaded the program. Then we (she, as I was only an interested observer) started over. A definite learning experience for me! Not only did we set up Picassa so that we could use it easily to edit the pictures for URL, but now I have a better understanding of the program.
This little side trip that M and I took was one of the unexpected benefits and joys of her stay., Also during this back and forth, unstructured dialogue between the two of us, we started talking about my blog and how I would like to change the look and format. Hopefully, we will have time to do that this week.
Goals for this coming week --- Miss M's last week here --- are to get the pictures for URL prepared; download URL into Scibus and add the pictures. We may not get all of the pictures entered before she leaves, but I am sure much of the hard work, especially with the photos which I don't like to do and am not as adept at the process as M, will be done.
And a bonus goal will be to work on refurbishing my blog.
