Raindrops, gloomy skies can't stop Mardi Gras
NEW ORLEANS — Despite threatening skies, the Mardi Gras party carried on as thousands of costumed revelers cheered glitzy floats with make-believe monarchs in an all-out bash before Lent. In the French Quarter, as usual, Fat Tuesday played out with all its flesh and raunchiness.
Crowds were a little smaller than recent years, perhaps influenced by the forecast of rain. Still, parades went off as scheduled even as a fog settled over the riverfront and downtown areas.
Police, who had to deal with massive waves of visitors — first for Super Bowl and then for Mardi Gras — reported no major problems other than Saturday night when four people were shot on Bourbon Street. A suspect has been arrested.
There was a heavy police presence in the tourist-filled Quarter, where crowds began to swell in the early afternoon and would be bursting at the seams by the time police on horseback declared the party over at midnight.
The family side of Mardi Gras unfolded along stately St. Charles Avenue, where some groups camped out overnight to stake out prime spots for parade-viewing. A brief rain shower as the final float in the Krewe of Rex parade passed by didn't dampen the enthusiasm there.
Cliff Kenwood and his wife, Jennie, of New Orleans, brought their two children — 8-year-old Ivy and 6-year-old Jack — to the festivities. Each was dressed as a skeleton and Cliff Kenwood wore a banner around his hat referencing the recent publishing changes to the city's newspaper — The Times-Picayune.
The costumes poked fun at the paper's decision to cut back from a daily publishing schedule to three days a week. "We're black, white and dead all over," Jennie Kenwood said laughing.
She said their family kept their subscription even though they thought about canceling. "We can't do it to them. We don't want them to die," she said.
Rain or shine, it was a last chance to soak in some fun during the Carnival season, which ends with the start of Lent on Wednesday.
The Krewe of Zulu led the festivities from city neighborhoods to the business district, followed by the parade of Rex, King of Carnival, and hundreds of truck floats decorated by families and social groups.
In the French Quarter, many revelers had drinks in hand before sunrise. Some donned tutus, beads and boas. Some hadn't been to bed since Monday's Lundi Gras celebrations.
"We'll be in the French Quarter all day," said Bobbie Meir, of Gretna, La., with feathers in her hair and fingernails painted purple. "The sights today are jaw-dropping. It's a ton of fun and the best party in the world. Nobody does Mardi Gras like we do."
On Bourbon Street, women wore bustiers, fishnet stockings, bikini bottoms and little else. Some flashed flesh to attract the attention of people throwing beads from balconies.
"We're a flock of peacocks," said Laura Komarek, a recent New Orleans transplant from Minneapolis who moved to the Big Easy for a teaching job. Komarek and a group of friends walked Bourbon Street wearing leotards and large colorful feathers on their bottoms.
Sipping a hand-grenade, one of Bourbon Street's signature cocktails, Komarek said this was her first Mardi Gras.
"This is a totally different experience than any other event I've ever been to in my life. I'm so happy, having a blast with my friends without a care in the world."
The costumes were plentiful. Many revelers were clad in the traditional colors of Mardi Gras — purple, green and gold. There were cows, bees, pirates and jesters. One reveler rode through the French Quarter on a bike dressed in a U.S. Postal Service jersey adorned with syringes, referencing the doping scandal for the famed cyclist.
Among the revelers wearing plastic breasts and buttocks over their clothes was Mardi Gras first-timer Phil Weipert, of South Lyon, Mich.
"This is one big awesome party," said Weipert, who also had on a purple boa and matching hat with a gold crown. "I'm going to have to give up parades for Lent. I was going to give up booze but I'm definitely going to have to give up parades. I've been to like nine of them and I'm hooked."
Parading started at dawn, led by 82-year-old clarinetist Pete Fountain and his Half Fast Walking Club. Fountain and his group were clad in garish red suits and feathered hats.
"This is my life," he said, referring to his 63rd parade with the group he founded. "We're going to make it before it rains."

Serves 8
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 160 min.
Step 1
Have a large bowl of ice water ready for Step 2. Place a small bowl and beaters or a whisk in the freezer to chill for Step 3.
Step 2
Place 1/4 cup water in a small bowl; sprinkle in gelatin and stir to blend. Set aside to soften. Whisk eggs, 1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda), zest and lemon juice in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Place over low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the softened gelatin; whisk until blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Set the bowl over the bowl of ice water and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until the mixture starts to thicken slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the ice bath and set aside, but stir occasionally.
Step 3
Whip cream in the chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Place reconstituted egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda), beating until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
Step 5
Whisk one-fourth of the meringue into the cooled lemon mixture. Fold in the remaining meringue with a whisk. Fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Divide the mixture among eight 2/3- to 3/4-cup dessert dishes or wineglasses. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

Sponsored by the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) and the Graduate Student Association, projects will be featured in UTSA's Lone Star Diversity Colloquium. Competitors will receive feedback on their entries, allowing projects to be refined for submission to professional conferences.
Hosted for the first time at UTSA, the competition will allow graduate students to share their work with the UTSA community, visiting students and recruiters from across Texas during the Lone Star Diversity Colloquium, March 27-28, in the University Center on the 1604 Campus. The event will be hosted by the UTSA Graduate School.
The colloquium was established to assist more Texans from under-represented populations to attend graduate school and to encourage these students to complete graduate studies in the state. Projects receive critiques to help make the students more competitive as graduate school applicants. Additionally, participating graduate schools can recruit excellent and diverse graduate students at one site.

Another way to skin this sort of cat is to create a PDF of the table and include it as a graphic, which you can freely scale in beamer. I have used that trick a few times with material that just didn't want to fit.

A Stylish Affair on the Boardwalk

- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two Guests in an Avenue King or for Four Guests in a Two Queen Room on Fridays ($199) or Saturdays ($299)
- $15 Hotel Credit (Excludes Alcohol)
- Beach Chairs, Towels, and Umbrellas
The Destination
When it comes to all-American resort towns, it doesn't get much better than Atlantic City. Home to the country's first boardwalk and the world's first seaside amusement pier, AC draws millions of visitors each year to its deep beaches, endless entertainment, and saltwater taffy. For those chasing more action than carnival games, the city is considered the gambling capital of the East Coast, with its neon-lit casinos dotting the skyline.
The Digs
The first non-gaming hotel to hit the Boardwalk in more than four decades, The Chelsea—a boutique 20-story hotel featuring two restaurants and a few bars—sparkles with signature style, namely the old-school glamour of America's original resort town. The Luxe tower houses posh rooms appointed with one king or two queen beds, sleek and modern décor, and partial views of the Bay. Rooms in The Annex, meanwhile, offer one king or two queen beds as well as retro-cool balconies and bathrooms.
The Diversions
Drop into C5, the hotel's intimate club-within-a-club, for a handcrafted cocktail and some DJ-spun beats, then head next door to the casino at the Tropicana. Late night, make your way down to Teplitzky's, the hotel's classic diner, for a coffee or an early-morning plate of stuffed challah French toast. And before your stay is over, be sure to head for the 10,000-square-foot Sea Spa to soak in the Jacuzzis, unwind in the steam room, or bask in the sauna.
"This boutique hotel has a convincingly swank vibe that could double as a set location for the TV hit Mad Men. The entire fifth floor, with its indoor/outdoor lounges and billiards room, is lively day and night."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Chelsea

Custom Ford Prerunner Trucks - Two For The GoPosted in Features on September 26, 2006 Comment (0)
What's in a name? We've noticed that many of the best prerunners we've found come from fab shops bearing a pair of initials, such as H&M, B.K., and C&D. If you equate these initials with high-quality fabrication and fast-moving off-road trucks, then we've got another pair of initials to add to your list: JD.
JD Fabrication is the melding of two pairs of talented hands, namely those of Jesse Nelson and Dave Dinsmore. Jesse and Dave first became acquainted through a common interest in smaller-scale speed: R/C cars. As time passed, the R/C cars gave way to full-scale trucks, and the quest began to find ways to make their trucks faster and more capable in the dirt. Fast-forward a few years to find Jesse and Dave's talents and resources pooled into what has become a thriving business partnership. JD Fabrication began with long-travel kits for '86-'95 Toyota 4x4s, and now offers kits for several Toyota and Ford models and model years. From individual suspension kits to turnkey buildups, Jesse and Dave willingly apply their off-road expertise to a full spectrum of machinery. The JD portfolio also includes Chevy pickups, Baja Bugs, early Broncos, and Jeeps.We caught up with JD during a weekend of fun disguised as product testing. "I've been coming out here for years," Jesse tells us, speaking of the Ocotillo Wells OHV area.
Ocotillo Wells is part of the San Diego area's backyard and gives off-roaders a chance to test their mettle and machinery against a variety of off-road terrain types. Deep sand? That's found at Blow Sand Hill and at Devil's Slide. Nasty whoops? You can find those in several places such as San Felipe Wash and the Shell Reef Expressway. Once you conquer the whoops on the Shell Reef Expressway, you can test your truck's jumping ability (and your intestinal fortitude) on the Shell Reef jumps. Ocotillo Wells offers something for nearly everyone.
Check out this pair of Fords. We think you'll agree that JD can place its trucks, and its initials, among the best.
A Fine Brew"I had owned this truck less than 24 hours when my brother-in-law rolled it," Noah Ostanik laments. "When it was rolled back over, it looked like a crumpled Coors Light can."
Fortunately, Noah's truck was already equipped with a rollcage, albeit a shoddy one. After the rollover, Noah brought the wrinkled F-150 to Jesse and Dave and asked them to put a pair of 2-1/2-inch King coilovers on the stock I-beams. Upon consultation, Brett King put his suspension wisdom into play and recommended 3-inchers instead, because the weight and muscle of the 460 under the hood would overtax the 2-1/2-inchers and cause them to fade.
"We could see that this truck was going to be so fast that it would've been dangerous to have left the existing rollcage in place. The 'cage was probably made of exhaust tubing, and there were gaps in the welding the size of golf balls," Jesse informs us. "We told Noah that we wouldn't build his suspension unless he also let us cut out the original rollcage and build a safe one in its place."
Four months later, the F-150 emerged as a nicely built prerunner ready for weekend-warrior duty in the desert and the dunes. It's a good thing that JD got the go-ahead to proceed with a proper 'cage, because the "Beer Can" has been crumpled more than once. After a few episodes of crumpling, it was obvious that the best way to keep the Beer Can looking ready for the starting line instead of the recycling bin was to use fiberglass body panels all the way around. Each time the truck was rolled, or when something wore out or broke, it was replaced with something bigger, better, faster, or stronger. The truck has evolved into a full-blown, Class 8 race truck built to the specs set forth in the SCORE rule book.
One-Grand Beginning"Timing is everything."Maybe, maybe not. There's no question that proper timing is essential to making an engine run, and there's no question that proper timing was a key factor when Dave Dinsmore acquired his '95 Ranger SuperCab. It seems that Dave had a friend in need... of some quick money. Good timing allowed him to pick up a clean truck for just $900. During the first two years, the truck was a daily-driven stocker. When year number three came along, the time was right to begin transforming the truck.
"I built this truck with low costs in mind," Dave tells OFF-ROAD. "There are several things on this truck that work just as well as the high-dollar stuff, but cost much less."
His overall investment in this truck has been relatively mild because labor is usually the single biggest cost when building a high-end truck. In this case, the owner, fabricator, and driver are all the same person. Dave just needed enough after-hours time to do the work.
After putting together a string of after-hours fabrication sessions for about a year, Dave's Ranger has emerged as a TIG-welded chrome-moly creation capable of carrying its owner/builder/pilot and a few lucky copilots at high velocity across the unpredictable desert floor. The minimal dollars invested belie the topnotch fabrication that is the heart of a once-humble stocker. This one-grand wonder proves that sometimes, timing really is everything.

Is the RPG spawn on Village broken now?
Re: Is the RPG spawn on Village broken now?
Never seen this before but something somewhat similar happened to me in the London Streets map. I was walking near where one of the tanks comes through (it was the very begining of the match so it's going to be a while before the tank comes). I'm hanging on one of the walls that block the street off where out of no where, the wall explodes as if the tank went through it (which it didn't). I was laughing though as seeing the wall randomly explode for no reason was pretty funny, even though it killed me lol.
Re: Is the RPG spawn on Village broken now?
Happens a lot. It's like the glitch where the walls for Deathmatch are present on London Streets for some people even in Plunder. You can't go through, but people for whom the wall isn't there, run through like ghosts.
I suspect the wall is there for some, not for others.
|[ 39 ]
|Every time a mine downs someone an Angel gets its wings.
Re: Is the RPG spawn on Village broken now?
I watched the area this time and no one picked up the RPG if the wall had been knocked down for others. I haven't had one game on Village where this hasn't happened since 1.17, I honestly believe it's completely broken now, at least when ever I'm playing. That said, I tried it in a custom game and it worked fine.
I've had the problem on London Streets too, and the Chateau wall that can be jumped through, but this has become way too common for me.

I couldn't agree more. The sound of the helicoptors and sirens was scary and I shutter to think what could happen in the future when fire or natural disaster hits our area. It is reckless to add more homes and cars to this already congested corridor. It's not just about the inconvenience (which is important enough). It's about public safety. Danville Town Council - please put an end to this recklessness and additional danger to public safety!

When most folks think about a 2-alarm house fire, they think "tragedy."
Some folks, however, think "political opportunity."

Danville has NO BUSINESS adding large numbers of new homes on Diablo Rd. - a winding 2 lane road that can not be reasonably widened - just so they can increase the tax base. If you have ever driven Diablo Rd. during school hours you know that the intersection of Diablo Rd. and Green Valley can take 20 minutes to navigate - and that's BEFORE adding major development. There are 4 schools and a fire station that all come together at that intersection - adding additional congestion and safety concerns to this area is ludicrous and recklous. Stop the development NOW.

The fire danger will only increase in the next several months. Don't even think about this fire occurring at 3 p.m. then, when all the schools are letting out!

Mayor Candance Andersen: How about doing something about this illegal development, now, either as Mayor, or as Supervisor Elect? You claimed in all those election materials you kept sending all the voters, that you were "in favor of open space". Was that just campaign rhetoric? The voters are watching to see if you live up to your campaign promises.

To Cardinal: Concerned citizen was talking about PUBLIC SAFETY. If you think that concern over life, limb, and the potential destruction of your property (which by the way I sadly read in the SRV Times that the home on Mt. Diablo Scenic was a TOTAL LOSS to the fire!) can be dismissed merely as a "political issue", then you have been working for SummerHill Homes too long.

I was sad that the family in Diablo lost its home! And yes, we need to worry about the delays in emergency response for homes accessed from Diablo Road. SummerHill Homes' proposed development for possibly well over 100 additional dwellings---and over 1000 more car trips--- in this crowded area is simply outrageous. Who does Danville's Council work for---Mr. Magee and SummerHill Homes by any chance? Certainly not for Danville residents in this Diablo Road area.

I live in Hidden Valley among the beautiful and at this time of year VERY DRY hills. I heard all the sirens & saw the chopper yesterday and was watching for the smoke. I always am ready to 'bug-out' because I was at that 1st big town meeting where the fireman was talking about the reality of all of us getting out of our communities onto a very crowded road NOW, much less when 'the project' happens. Let's face it folks. Supervisor/Mayor, town council, Summerhill, they are hoping this dead period waiting for the EIR to 'be ready' means people will lose interest. We need warm bodies and voices to be heard, please!

I suggest everyone start calling, emailing, etc Mayor Candance Andersen and voice your opposition to Summerhill development. Let's see if she keeps her campaign promise to "protect open spaces". It would be nice if she spent half as much time in listening to the voters who oppose this illegal development, as she did campaigning and putting all those campaign signs up.

on Jun 21, 2012 at 7:42 am
Thanks to Cardinal for voicing what I am thinking. Sigh...once again this development has not even gotten to the planning commission, let alone to the council or Mayor Anderson (who is only 1 vote of 5 btw).
By all means, when it gets there, attend the meetings voice your thoughts. When I read the eir if it says what I think it will, I'll be right there with you.
Until then, stop telling lies. Just because you say a lie multiple times that doesn't make it the truth. I feel the ppl against this project are doing their own cause a disservice by all this disingenuous baloney.

To Steve: There are NO lies being told. If you attended the Danville Planning Commission's Notice of Preparation meeting for EIR, which was held in Nov. 2010, you would have heard a former Battalion Chief for the San Leandro Fire District (who now lives in Diablo) state that a project of the size SummerHill proposes will definitely increase emergency response times in a congested area like the Diablo Road corridor. We don't need to wait for the EIR to come out to make that conclusion.
What is more, Steve, the EIR for the 22-home Matadera project being constructed now (across from Green Valley School) had lots of traffic analysis in it, including projections for traffic from the proposed SummerHill project. 75 more car-trips per day during peak times is what that EIR said SummerHill would create, and that is undoubtedly a conservative estimate given that the EIR was prepared on behalf of Danville and paid for by Davidon Homes.
Yes, Steve, it is not a lie to conclude that more cars on the road will slow down emergency response times.

Steve, SummerHill Homes does not want any residents of the Diablo Road corridor to study or comment on their project's impacts. Why on earth would they? Wait for the Draft EIR to come out, SummerHill says when anyone makes a peep. Why do you think that is? Because by then it will be TOO LATE to mount an effective challenge to their project! You must either work for SummerHill or you need a history lesson---talk to the Danville residents that have attempted (mostly too late) to fight any other proejcts that have ever been proposed in this town. Start by talking to Citizens for Civic Accountability. That group had to sue Danville to force it to prepare an EIR for the Matadera Subdivision.

Perhaps Steve suspects, as I do, that the heart-of-hearts driver here is the desire by SOC to put-off the necessary widening of Diablo Road from Green Valley to Mt Diablo Scenic. It appears that Blackhawk Road was built to accommodate four lanes -- it's probably time to make that improvement, or rename the group "Save Our Two-Lane Road."

My husband and I are strongly opposed to the Summerhill Development for all of the reasons given above. In addition to the increased congestion, traffic, pollution, school overcrowding, road noise, etc., we now are even more aware of the danger to all of us if a fire or any other crises occurs. The approval of the Summerhill project would vastly multiply this danger due to the increased congestion and traffic.

Sure, C-Mudge. "Pave paradise to put up a" four-lane road. Expanding Diablo Road between Green Valley Road and Mt. Diablo Scenic would require major hillside incursions, destruction of dozens of heritage oaks, building of vast retaining walls, and culverting the creek. Are you willing to pay for that C-Mudge so SummerHill and Jed Magee can make their millions? Go for it, C-Mudge!

With all due respect, Ms. Joni, it ain't the Panama Canal, and I don't think you're primarily concerned about the expense or the engineering. I'm just trying to get your tax dollars to work for you -- and make it so that big yellow taxi can make its rounds without delay!

What a great idea from the curmudgeon! Let's adopt her slogan and add to it:
"Save our two-lane road!" "Save our beautiful oak trees!" "Save our time lost in traffic!" "Save our lives when fire trucks need to get through to us!"
All four goals can be accomplished by turning down the proposed development for Summerhill Homes on Magee Ranch.

Amen to getting rid of the pro-development rubber stampers.
Whatever side you are on here, remember that like much of Danville and San Ramon, the flank (unlike the upper parts) of Diablo is mostly dirt. Dirt that will slide without a lot of unsightly reinforcements. Widening the road is not the simple task some here seem to believe it is.
Between this, our city allowing the last uncovered hillside area on the west side to be covered with KB's crackerbox homes, and that SCREAMINGLY HIDEOUS 2nd story structure being finished by Linda Mesa & Railroad Ave, our so called "planners" need to go bye bye fast.

Well it's refreshing to read what we,as a majority are all really thinking, knowing and living. The reality here is, with public safety compromised as this development is being proposed, that the issue and legal debate with Matdera estates ( junk) was the environmental impact of the frogs. The frogs are now gone. IF they somehow return, they will not have a chance with another illegitimate development so close by.
We Danville homeowners pay taxes above and beyond what most communities pay to preserve and maintain parks and open areas. We have a beautiful place to live and good reason for people to visit. Our history is priceless. We teach that to our children (your upcoming generation) in our schools.
So, honestly, all the other political proposals that have conveniently "slipped" through the board that were seriously questionable and now have a detrimental impact on our lives, leaves this Summerhill project a direct insult to our intelligence and way of life here in Danville. Go somewhere else. You can afford it-we can't.

The SummerHill Homes plan for Magee Ranch is an excellent well planned, thoroughly thought out, completely vetted development with ample community input and proper oversight and input from Danville city staff and council members. Existing utilities, electrical, water, gas and sewage lines are in close proximity. A well designed road is along one edge of the property providing easy access. There are ample K-12 schools nearby, the freeway and shopping is not to far away, and municipal services, police, fire, waste mgmt, are all in place. There are great views of one of our most popular state parks and surrounding hills and oaks.
It does not get much better than that! Please act to support property rights and support this project. All you Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike know what I am talking about. Business and Corporations, are people and have rights to do whatever they want on and to their property, free from all NIMBY input and free from all of the job-killing draconian regulations issued by our foreign born, Muslim, socialist President B. Hussein Obama.

Dear J Tanner:
I not even going to comment on the Obama portion of your message. I'll let you sort that out with Donald Trump. But your statements with regard to the SummerHill project are way off base. First of all, corporations or other property owners DO NOT have the right to do anything they like with or on their property. At least not those who are law abiding. We have this thing called zoning laws. And the property in question requires a zoning change to permit the SummerHill project to go forward as proposed. In addition, the property has a land use designation of agricultural - something that also needs to be changed for the project to go forward. Now I am going to keep going on this thought because I am pretty sure given your stated stance on other issues that you are very much pro-voters' rights. So try this on for size - a change in land use designation requires a vote of the public per Measure S. The Town of Danville thinks otherwise even though 2 Town Council members put that Measure forward and sold us on it. So please direct your indignance to them and the rest of the Town Council for not upholding our right to vote on this project. Wouldn't that be a great idea - let everyone vote on whether this project goes forward. We wouldn't have to debate it in this forum. We could get the right we all voted for back in 2002 and settle the matter once and for all. Don't we all want our rights to be upheld??? Let's all get on the same page and focus on getting our right to vote. I put my trust in the voters in Danville to do the right thing and will live with whatever they choose. So let's all work on our Town Council to get our right to vote! Who's with me on this??

I am amazed that the town does not consider the erosion problems of Green Valley Creek. I am amazed that the town does not consider the flooding problems down stream along Green Valley Creek. I am amazed that the town is indifferent to the traffic mess that already exists. I am amazed that the town is indifferent to safety issues.
A property owner should be able to do with as they wish, but not when it does not comply with the law and not when it injures or diminishes someone else.

To Amazed - The Town planners and the EIR consultants DO in fact recognize the horrendous and unmitigatable impacts this development will have. Why do you think they have delayed issuance of the draft EIR over and over again, and have revised the scope of their traffic study again and again... They keep trying to come up with an answer they like or can try to sell.
To Steve - Please don't be lulled into irrelevancy by the thought that this project has not yet come before the Council. The record abounds with evidence that shows the Town's hand. Ask about the path the Town has approved to connect Green Valley with Blackhawk road, and they will say it awaits land that will be dedicated as part of their approval of the SummerHill project. (Yes, they put that in writing.) Ask about why no Measure S vote is being planned, and they will tell you that it is ok to approve a major planned unit development clustered subdivision on Agricultural land without changing the land use designation, in contravention of Measure S, state law and the Danville general plan. (Yes, they put that in writing.) Look at the exact same technique they used to put the Elworthy project on Agricultural land on the west side. (Yes, the Town Council voted on record to do that!) They even voted to bring extra density from surrounding County land inside the Town limits on Elworthy – a blatantly illegal violation of the urban limit line! (Yes, that's on the record too.) Attend the 2030 general plan workshops, and watch planners add language to the 2030 General Plan to retroactively legitimize these Measure S evasions. (Yes, Town Council were present, and on the record.) Make no mistake - the Town absolutely intends to approve this project, and they would like nothing more than for everyone to wait until they have it all irrevocably lined up. Don't fall for that! SOC can take care of the litigation, with your financial support. (Please donate.) But you can vote new councilmembers in at the new election, and avoid the whole issue!

To J Tanner – Really? "Foreign born, Muslim, socialist President B. Hussein Obama?" Your agenda and mindset speaks for itself. What is pretty funny is that if you don't like a government usurping rights of the people, how can you support your local government's usurpation of its citizens' right to vote under Measure S? Perhaps your ideology has convenient inconsistencies? Puhlease! Anyone in support of J. Tanner, please speak up. Otherwise, he's in his own logical and idealogical fogbank.

I will spell this out. The real goal in my comment was to make clear to those that support the project, the absurdity of the claims being made. It doesn't get better than that refers to the incredibly easy and low cost opportunity that the developers have to tap into community services thereby making their development a slam dunk success. If you were the owner of this land, to not try to develop it is like telling someone sitting atop a gold bearing vein to not dig for gold. This is a golden opportunity for someone to pocket tens of millions of dollars.
Property rights advocates are generally republican, libertarian, tea partier conservatives that want to sweep aside the general concerns of the neighbors, locals, state and national citizenry. If you think this is a problem here locally, what do you think is happening on a national scale.
Follow the money. Look out for a local PAC to be set up to collect anonymous corporate donations to influence the Danville Town Council. Think Tom Koch and the New "Fake" Farm developers (outside the County Urban Limit Line) are not watching this. Think the developers of the Tassajara "Toxic Waste Dump" Cemetery (outside the County Urban Limit Line) are not watching this.
So, if you are a responsible neighbor that has compelling reasons to question the sanity or legality of this plan, and if you happen to be a conservative that opposes this development (and last I looked Danville, Diablo and Blackhawk are more than 50% republican), by all means jump in to protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your community from the greed and corruption of money dominated politics, clearly evident here on a truly local level. But remember, when you do jump in you are now behaving like a Democrat. Welcome to our world.
One last comment, this project without any community input would be of far greater scope than that proposed. And the ones that are scheduled to pocket the tens of millions of dollars... If you were able to see how many of the Summerhill home employees are actually truly in the 1 percenters, It would be less than 1%. Only the upper crust of management is well paid, everybody else falls far short of 1%. So if you do not support this development, than stop watching Fox News and start voting Democrat. Think outside your bank account.

text: I took a couple of brood boxes from a Michael Palmer Queen descendant I bought from him in 2009 with the queen to a bee yard 5 miles away, very nice queens Michael! I went back 12 days later to get queen cells. I found several cells ripped open, some with the dead queen still inside, some empty. I thought that the other unmolested cells would have queens still alive in them. I looked for a virgin queen and found one looking into cells like a mated queen, she was not that big but easy to spot. I marked her but now my question is this. Can a queen sting a cell without ripping it open. I brought frames with queen cells home to distribute them into mini mating nucs. When I was cutting them out I opened the side of one and saw a nearly fully developed queen inside with no movement, she looked dead. The cells I put in the nucs the bees attached to the comb but now I am thinking that the queen I marked was MATED QUEEN and she killed what was live and left the others alone? What do you think? Thank you Jim Donovan

Another newbie here! Was fascinated by a neighbor's bees as a youngster, and with CCD thought maybe it would help to pitch in a little bit with a few hives.

I thought beekeeping was pretty simple; like most things in life, the more you learn about it, the more you realize you don't know nuttin'!

|Check-in before
Located near the seaside and centre of this little village, the overall impression is ok. Very friendly host. A few flowers were put on the table and a few wild grapes. We had the studio in the back of the house, located on the ground floor. The studio could do with a few little reparations, like the hanging system of the shower head, the lack of hot water in the kitchenette and the way the water comes out of the faucet. Remeber to close the door because of the mosquitoes. Thanks for the 'anti-mosquitoe-electrical-thingie' but this doesn't help :). Just shut the door and remember to keep the insect screen in place.
Freundliche Leute, Nice People, Schönes Zimmer, Beautiful Room, Top Lage, Near Beach. Till next time, we will come back.
Petricane was nice. Very quiet and only 7 km from Zadar. Bus to Zadar and Nin goes straight outside the apartment. We stayed on ground level which was noisy at times as people walked passed and you couldn't have the windows open during the night when it got warm, which is every night because we were on ground floor. Air Con was working fine, hosts were lovely and very willing to help. If you are planning day trips to Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Parks, book it through Snjezana. It will be much cheaper as we paid 550 kuna for Plitvice and 470 kuna for Krka. Only difference is you get lunch which can be bought much cheaper. Snjezana charges around 350 kuna per person. Taxi to the Airport was 250 kuna and the hosts took me and that was a great deal as some taxis wants 45 euro for the same journey.
Had a beautiful time at Petrcane! Snijezana and her family were very nice and perfect hosts. We would come again! :)
Although a simplistic apartment,I found this to be the perfect venue for peace and tranquility.
Our hosts Snijezena and her daughter were friendly, caring and attentive. They gave us the perfect home from home experience. I learnt so much about Petracane from them.
The surrounding gardens and nearby beaches were majestical. The hotel Pinija is also on the doorstep and willing to let you use their facilities for a small fee.
Highly recommend this venue and hosts. I would use it again.
We didn't get to meet Mihaela, but her mother was such nice host to us. She served us cake and palatschinken, which was delecious. We really enjoied our stay at this wonderful place!!
This is a cosy apartment with big garden and close to the beach and village centre. Nice owners. The beach is not sandy, bring your yogamat or rent a beachchair at the hotel around the corner. Especially on sundays beware of the bus's timeschedule!
A awesome place to stay with great hosts, can't wait to go again !!
Our holiday at Mihaela's place was really nice! The appartment was clean and like shown on the pictures. It was close to the sea (only a few metres), what made it perfect! Zadar was also easy to reach by bus...
Mihaela und her mum were very friendly. They spoke good English and German and always helped us if we wanted to know something.
Altogether it was a perfect holiday at a really nice place, we would definitly recommend!

In the wild, belugas, also known as white whales, are social animals. They swim in Arctic Ocean waters in groups called pods. Highly intelligent, the whales use different sounds to communicate and find their way. Belugas are also among the smallest kinds of whales.
More than 210 belugas, including 31 in the United States, live in aquariums and zoos around the world. The Georgia Aquarium has asked for permission to bring 18 more belugas into the U.S. The whales were captured off the coast of Russia. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is considering the aquarium's request. A law called the Marine Mammal Protection Act says the animals can only be brought into the country and put on display if they were captured without being hurt and there is an educational reason for doing so.
Georgia Aquarium officials say the 18 belugas will help people learn more about the species and allow scientists to better understand how to protect it. The aquarium would also breed the whales so U.S. aquariums can continue to display them. "When we can study and observe belugas in human care, we gain a better understanding of their biology and diseases that affect them, and learn how to aid populations in their natural habitats," says William Hurley, Georgia Aquarium's chief zoological officer. "Much of this research would be impossible to do in the remote locations and extreme climates where the animals live." The Georgia Aquarium would own the 18 belugas and would loan some to aquariums across the country.
Some scientists including Lori Marino, a beluga whale expert at Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia, feel strongly that the whales belong in the ocean, not in tanks. These scientists say the whales are being used for entertainment and not for education, and having them in aquariums is not necessary for the species to survive. "Captive belugas, like other dolphins and whales, do not do well in tanks; they belong in the oceans," Marino told TFK. "Not only is it unfair to the belugas but there is no educational value in putting captive dolphins and whales on display. Students learn about dolphins and whales best when they see and read about them in their natural habitat."
NOAA received about 9,000 comments from people and expects to make its decision about the whales soon. In the meantime, we want to hear your opinion: Should beluga whales be kept in aquariums and zoos? Write a 200-word response. Send it to email@example.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of TIME For Kids. Please include your grade level and contact information for your parent or teacher if you would like your response to be published. The deadline for responding is March 25.

Losers: Browns. IMO i don't see anything special about Trent Richardson. He'll probably be a good back but to get him at 3? And drafting a 29 year old QB in the first round? Weeden probably could've been had in round 2, maybe 3.

Veteran Bills
Two Oklahoma State Bills that would benefit Veterans are awaiting appropriation before going to Governor.
House Bill 1555 creates a Veteran's Treatment Court program. Which would allow Veterans a type of drug court atmosphere they could benefit from by the Oklahoma Mental Health Association. Veterans often return home changed and in a different mental state including Post Traumatic Stress Order and depression. This would allow them to be screened and determine if the cause of the incident was caused by the stress of battles.
Then Senate Bill 138 would put the American Flag on all veterans drivers license, allowing them the ability to verify their veteran status.
State Representative Pat Ownbey said this is just one small thing they can give to people who gave so much..
Highway 199 Construction
If you're driving down Highway 199 between Ardmore and Dickson you may notice some major changes including driving a new section of the HWY a project the Oklahoma department of Transportation started last year.
Yesterday ODOT and road crews opened up the south side lanes and closed the north side lanes. Although 199 is still a two lane road for now ODOT says they are going to demolish the north section and redo that section of the highway.
ODOT asks drivers be patient and also safe of road crew workers and pay attention to changes since this is such a big project they are planning a September 2011 opening of all 4 lanes.
Tishomingo Stabbing
Two people we're injured in a stabbing incident in Tishomingo on Tuesday afternoon.
The call went out just after 2:00 p.m. in the 1300 block of Main St.
When authorities arrived they found two people stabbed.
One victim had to be flown out with a stab wound to the neck with the other person taken to the local hospital.
It was Tishomingo's emergency alert system that let folks in town know they were looking for a suspect who was on the loose.
In the end, police did take one man into custody.
Police say the suspect, Michael Hesbrook, had to be tazed after he tried to attack them.
He's behind bars, but no word on what caused this attack or the conditions of the victims

text: In the fall I put a super back on one of my hives after extracting so the bees could clean up the frames. After a few days I checked again & they were still really busy cleaning so I left it. Time got away from me& I left it on all winter. I know bad beekeeping! I went out today & it's about 48 degrees & there are tons of bees in that hive & of course they don't want to get out of the super. What should I do? That hive is really aggressive so it's not too fun to work with.


text: I moved out of state a while back and left my hives at home. A girl I work with said her grandfather was getting rid of all his beehives. He has six hives and I asked her to ask her grandfather what he wanted for them. Turns out, he's just going to give them away. I would like to get his hives this weekend because work usually keeps me here. He lives about 3 hours away and doesn't have any tools, just the hives. I'm trying to find a smoker somewhere, but if I can't, does anyone on here have any experience moving bees without tools? I just want to know if it can be done. Besides a homemade veil, it looks like I wont have anything to work with.

Composed in 1888 by Erik Satie, the Gymnopedies are considered with their atmospheric mood a very important inspiration to modern ambient music. Dedicated to Mlle. Jean de Bret it embodys the spirit of French impressionism and has been featured in many film sound tracks like Louis Malle's film My Dinner with Andre and The Fire Within by the same director. Satie was inspired by reading Gustave Flaubert's novel Salammbo and the composers first attempt at cutting himself loose from the conventional 19th century salon music Sheet Music for Piano arranged by Lars Christian Lundholm. Gymnopedie No. 1 is also known by alternative title: Trois Gymnopedies, Lent et douloureux. - Instrumentation: Piano - Level: Easy - Score Type: Solo Score - Tempo: Slow - Genre: Impressionistic - Composer: Erik Satie - Year Composed: 1888 - Pages (approximate): 5

Google for IDPA ranges in your area. Great fun. Very dynamic with lots of moving.
Hey everyone,
Its been 7 seven years since I fired a handgun at a target and have decided to get back into it. I am interested in competition shooting but not sure which organization would best suit my skills and interests. I am very competitive and like to be challenged, but with a large family I don't have the ability to commit to long weekend shoots. I enjoy tactical shooting courses with some level of stress involved and shooting at metal targets. Can someone give me some advice on where to go? Also, I am in the Tampa, FL area. Thanks very much for your help.
Google for IDPA ranges in your area. Great fun. Very dynamic with lots of moving.
I'll second the IDPA choice. Good practical skills and a strong emphasis on safety. I like that too. Even though they have a lot of rules that don't apply to a real self defense situation, it's great practice. I shoot IDPA at least twice a month.

The main street starts by the waterwheel, and serves as a dam across Ribe River. It was built around 1250 AD, and allowed people to cross the river on foot, for the first time - leading to its use today, and then, as the
main street. The dam splits the river into three narrow fast flowing streams, with substantial falls. The word dam is understood as being old for dyke, and the main street is split into the Upper Dam, Middle Dam and Lower Dam accordingly. The water drove the kings?, and later the common peoples, watermills. All the merchants had their houses and farms along the main street in the old days.

No arrest warrant for former hospital IT director
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - The former information technology director of Bingham Memorial Hospital, Jack York, has hired a defense attorney in the hospital wiretapping case, so there is no longer a warrant out for his arrest, the Idaho Attorney General's Office said Wednesday.
York was indicted by a grand jury June 19. He's accused of setting up a wiretap that ran for more than a year in Dr. Robert Rosin's office.
The wiretap was set up from June 2009 to August 2010, according to the indictment.
He was supposed to be in court last week with hospital CEO Louis Kraml, but he didn't show up for his arraignment, so a warrant was put out for his arrest.
Kraml faced the same wiretapping charges from the grand jury, but that was plea bargained down to a misdemeanor stalking. He pleaded guilty.
York's attorney, Anne Taylor of Blackfoot, said York is scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment Sept. 20.

Paradise Found on Peaceful Lāna'i
Hotel Lāna'i • Lanai City, HI
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Room ($338), Premium Room ($338), or Lāna'i Room ($378)
- Daily Continental Breakfast for Two
- One Hotel Lanai Keepsake per Guest
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Once known as the Pineapple Island, Lāna'i is now hailed as an oasis unspoiled by mainland tourism. "The real Lāna'i is a multifaceted place that's so much more than a luxury resort," says Frommer's. "This island is also a place where people come looking for beauty, quiet, solitude, and an experience with nature." With few paved roads and no traffic lights, residents and tourists alike are free to take in the red-rock cliffs and exclusive beaches at their leisure.
The Digs
Slip away to a secluded paradise at Hotel Lāna'i in Lāna'i City. At this boutique property, guest rooms are appointed with hardwood floors, private bathrooms, refrigerators, and complimentary Wi-Fi. You'll rise and shine to a complimentary continental breakfast served in the lobby each morning, then set out for a day full of snorkeling with equipment provided by the hotel, hiking nearby trails, or just strolling through town to meet the locals—the principle joy of visiting Lāna'i. In the evening, you can dine alfresco at the on-site Lāna'i City Grille. The tantalizing menu is inspired by local flavors and colors, with options like seared diver scallops with wasabi-pesto potatoes and pan-roasted venison loin with mushroom risotto. What's more, the hotel offers live music on the weekends.
"Hotel Lāna'i, a 1920s country inn, is as authentic and welcoming as Hawaii gets. Its 11 rooms are simply furnished, cooled with ceiling fans, and decorated with works by local artists."-- Condé Nast Traveler

To schedule an appointment with your academic advisor, click HERE.
Advising, in its broadest sense, is the continuing conversation between advisor and advisee that centers on academic matters, career and professional plans, additional educational opportunities, and other related topics. In this conversation, the advisor serves as a guide and mentor, drawing upon other campus resources for assistance with this responsibility. One important part of this type of advising includes helping students plan an academic program and tracking progress towards completion of that program. It is important, therefore, that advisors be familiar with both the General Education requirements and the major requirements for their departments. The KSU catalog, KSU-provided online tools such as DegreeWorks, and experienced academic advisors are all valuable resources for students.
The Office for New, Exploratory, and Students in Transition (the NEST) is the primary advising resource for students at Kennesaw State who have not yet chosen a major, as well as those who are considering a change of major. The NEST is also a secondary advising resource for those students who have a declared major but need assistance with general education requirements or university policies.
DegreeWorks is a web-based tool that provides real-time advice on degree progression. This system is designed to aid and facilitate academic advising, but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions.

Updated: May 17, 2016 10:58 AM CDT
Facebook has ticked off its users again, this time with the announcement that m obile users who want to message friends will have to download its Messenger app in addition to the core Facebook app. There have been a lot of changes to the world's largest social network in recent years. Here are some of the most annoying: [ + - ]
The News Feed -- Facebook unveiled the News Feed in 2006 as a way to view the activities of your friends. Many users wanted out, although Facebook pacified them with new privacy features to control what is displayed. [ + - ]
The New Facebook -- In late 2008, Facebook permanently moved users to a complete layout redesign it called "Facebook 3.0." Several groups formed to protest the decision. [ + - ]
Public Friends Lists -- As part of the much-maligned privacy changes in 2009, Facebook made the friends lists of all users public, sparking such an outcry that the site quickly reinstated the option to keep the lists private. [ + - ]
Terms Of Use Changes -- In February 2009, Facebook made unannounced changes to its terms of use giving it the rights to a user's content even after it's been deleted. Outrage ensued, and Facebook soon returned to its original terms of use. [ + - ]
News Feed Redesign -- In October 2009, Facebook revamped the News Feed to include more of your friends' activities. But users couldn't select what they saw, and many didn't like the amount of information coming at them. [ + - ]
News Ticker -- As part of sweeping changes rolled out in September 2011, a real-time news ticker was added to the right side of the homepage, letting you know what your friends were posting and commenting on as it happened. Some thought it too busy, and you now have the option to hide the ticker. [ + - ]
Top Stories vs. Recent Stories -- More changes to the News Feed introduced a focus on "top stories" rather than recent items. Users who don't visit much will only see top stories, while frequent visitors get the option to expand to recent posts. [ + - ]
Subscribe Button -- This feature allows users to subscribe to other users' news feeds without friending them, much like Twitter. Some users didn't like the idea of people they didn't know following them. [ + - ]
Timeline -- Perhaps one of the most controversial changes to date is Facebook's Timeline, a profile page change initially rolled out as an option but that has now become mandatory. [ + - ]
Facebook.com Email -- Facebook has offered its own email address for a while now, but users were irked in June 2012 when the site replaced the email addresses they chose to list on their profile page with the facebook.com address. [ + - ]
Video Ads - In December 2013, Facebook rolled out a feature that will allow advertisers to play videos in users' news feeds. The feature offers companies a new way to promote movies and products on smartphones and computers, and is being tested with a small group of Facebook users. [ + - ]
Nearby Friends -- In April 2014, Facebook introduced a mobile feature called Nearby Friends that taps into that steady stream of location information so friends can track each other in real time. Although it's not turned on by default, some users aren't thrilled by the idea. It's also raising hackles with some privacy advocates. [ + - ]
"Ask" Feature -- In May 2014, Facebook unveiled its new "Ask" feature, which lets your friends inquire about your relationship status if none is listed. Needless to say, it drew some eye rolls from many social media users -- particularly the single ones. [ + - ]
Slingshot -- In June 2014, Facebook launched a Snapchat-like mobile app that lets users trade ephemeral photo- and video-based messages that disappear after a few seconds. But what's unique (and annoying) about Slingshot is that you can't view an incoming message until you respond with a photo or video of your own, meaning there can be no passive users. [ + - ]
Messenger App -- In July 2014, Facebook announced that mobile users who want to message friends will have to download its Messenger app, eliminating the ability to send messages through its core Facebook app and forcing users to download another app. [ + - ]

For a customer i was in need of a quick way to send an email every time his system (centos) stop, reboot or simply boot.
I've found an useful article http://www.syntaxtechnology.com and most of this article is based on that.
To get an email at both start up and shut down we need to write an init script. The tips below are specific to a Red Hat based system (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, etc) but should be fairly similar to others, depending on the boot system you'll have to change slightly the script.

The Passenger Airline Group consists of the companies operating in the Lufthansa airline group, i.e. Lufthansa Passenger Airlines, SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Germanwings, together with its equity investments such as Brussels Airlines and offers its customers important benefits. The increasing harmonisation of products and processes gives passengers considerable added value by enabling seamless travelling within the Group's route network with 246 destinations. In addition, the multi-hub strategy offers them maximum travel flexibility at the hubs of the airline group, such as Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich. For Lufthansa the strategy represents additional cost synergies as well.
With this strategy each home carrier can play to its strengths in its respective home market. At the same time, the airline group profits from the special know-how of individual members in niche markets with growth potential, such as Brussels Airlines in West Africa. The use of synergies within the Lufthansa airline group constitutes a major competitive advantage, especially in a challenging environment. Lufthansa Passenger Airlines and Germanwings are exploring new territory in combining their business models.
Lufthansa's aim is to expand its position as leading independent group of European quality carriers and to exploit market opportunities. At the same time, topics such as safety, punctuality, reliability and professional service remain a high priority. The companies in the airline group are united in their search for profitable growth. This enables them to make investments in modern aircraft, achieve financial stability in a volatile industry and create secure jobs with attractive development prospects. The companies also strive to assume their responsibility for conserving natural resources by their sustainable business practices.
Lufthansa and the group airlines follow a diversified network strategy in all global sales markets. In Europe it is based on multiple hubs and catchment areas. Frankfurt and Munich are the largest hubs and cover the full range of products. In addition to the Group's own expanded production platforms, the scope of cooperation agreements and alliances was also extended further in 2011. Ethiopian Airlines joined the Star Alliance in December 2011 and bolsters Lufthansa's market position in East Africa substantially. Star Alliance remains the world's leading global alliance, currently flying to about 1,300 destinations in 190 countries.

Spindle Square Simplifies Milling Machine Head Tramming
The L.S. Starrett Company offers the 649 series spindle square for tramming the head of a vertical milling machine.
New Product: 8/24/2010
Related Topics:
Related Suppliers
The L.S. Starrett Company offers the 649 series spindle square for tramming the head of a vertical milling machine. Tramming ensures squareness and perpendicularity between the spindle and work surface. According to the company, the device improves accuracy and saves time compared to the traditional method of tramming with a dial test indicator.
The spindle square is fully assembled with two AGD Group 2 dial indicators. It has a solid steel body, durable black wrinkle finish and ground gaging surface. The unit weighs approximately 4 lbs and measures approximately 6 ¾" × 5½" (172 × 140 mm) from the top of the shank to the end of the contact points.
To use, a machinist sets the spindle square indicator to "0" on a surface plate and places the spindle square into the milling machine's collet. The head is brought down to the table until both indicator needles have rotated approximately one full rotation. The needles do not need to point in the same direction. Identical numerical readings, not the needle positions, indicate squareness. Normal tramming procedures are used until both indicators read the same numerical value. After setting the X axis, the same procedure is repeated for the Y axis.
Editor PickChoosing the Right Toolsetting and Detection Technologies
Investing the time to invest in the right machines can mean the difference between a profitable operation and an ongoing headache.

[quote user="allentown PA"]there is no word in the english language that rhymes with the word "month" another fun fact is there is a town in PA called Intercourse.[/quote]
They also have a town called Blue Balls.
They have a town off of I-80 that, the very first time I passed the exit sign, I was totally sure it said "Scrotum"
When I returned from my trip a few days later I was relieved to see it was "Scotrun".
Just an old mind and old eyes playing tricks, I guess.
