Video: Did Brian Williams bow to Barack Obama?
posted at 11:29 am on June 3, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Drudge has this one, and Stormin' Morning Java has the still. When I first saw it, I thought, "Nah. Brian Williams must have looked down. Americans don't bow to their political leaders, and especially not the American media." Wrong!
We made hay when Obama bowed to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, and this feels almost as bad. Shouldn't the American media have more of a sense of separation, observance, and skepticism? All right, all right, stop laughing.
Bonus question: If Williams bowed, what would Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews do to wish the President a good night? On second thought, I don't want to know.

GPD: Man yanked out clump of woman's hair
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:11 a.m.
A Gainesville man argued with a woman as she drove a car they were in with two infant children before yanking out a clump of her hair, police said.
Christopher Lanard Batie, 23, of 2809 NE 11th Ter., and the woman were arguing Sunday afternoon when he grabbed the woman's hair and ripped out about 2 to 3 inches of it, leaving a bald spot on the woman's head, according to a Gainesville Police report.
The woman said that Batie's actions almost caused her to crash.
Batie admitted to grabbing the woman's hair, but says that she grabbed his first, according to the police report.
Batie's actions put both of the children's lives in danger, the report said, and could have resulted in severe physical injury to both.
Batie was arrested on charges of domestic and child abuse and was being held Monday at the Alachua County jail.

The peer educators were schooled on information and resources for the fall events of Alcohol Awareness Week and World AIDS Day as they learned how to present and plan properly for these events.
UTSA students can volunteer to help educate their fellow students on important health issues through SHADES (Sexual Health Alcohol and Drug Awareness for Students), FACES (Finding Awareness by Creating Educated Students) or SHAC (Student Health Advisory Committee).
Each semester, the student organizations develop a university-wide event such as World AIDS Day, which will be at the Downtown Campus at the Frio Street Building commons from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 29. The observance at the 1604 Campus will be 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Nov. 30 in the University Center second floor lounge.
The Safe Spring Break Fling is set for March 6. In order to have peer educatiors ready for spring information events, training will be conducted the first week in February including training on sexual health and safer sex, substance abuse, safe spring break issues and sexual assault.
Students interested in becoming peer educators can contact Melissa Hernandez (FACES, FACES drama and mental health issues) at (210) 458-4140, Kathy Ceresoli (SHAC and medical health issues) at (210) 458-6428 or Howaida Werfelli (SHADES and HIV/substance abuse and alcohol issues) at (210) 458-4142.

Ex-Redmond reserve officer cleared in Bend confrontation
DA issues statement, timeline after grand jury decision
BEND, Ore. - No criminal charges will be filed against a now-former Redmond reserve officer over a confrontation with a Bend transient who he reportedly struck with the back of a hatchet, Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty said Thursday.
Here's the full text of a news release issued by Flaherty's office:
A Deschutes County grand jury investigation of Brian Alvarez's actions on August 29, 2013 ended this week when the grand jury returned a "not true bill," that is, not an indictment. No criminal charges will be filed against Mr. Alvarez as a result of the grand jury's decision.
On August 29, 2013, Brian Alvarez was acting as a citizen. At the time, Brian Alvarez was an off-duty Reserve Officer for the City of Redmond Police Department.
Mr. Alvarez had no authority to act as an officer while off-duty and outside of the City of Redmond. Mr. Alvarez attempted to assist employees at Lava Lanes Bend with removing an unwanted individual, who was yelling, swearing and advancing toward a bowling alley employee.
Mr. Alvarez stepped in to protect the bowling alley employee and attempted to convince the unwanted person to walk away. Mr. Alvarez immediately observed that the unwanted individual had weapons readily accessible on his person.
During this entire encounter, Mr. Alvarez believed 911 had been called and that the police were responding.
Although Mr. Alvarez believed the bowling alley employee had called 911 as Mr. Alvarez arrived, the employee did not in fact call 911 until Mr. Alvarez pulled a hatchet away from the unwanted individual.
Sometime after the unwanted person had advanced on the bowling alley employee and Mr. Alvarez, a bystander began video-recording the event.
Approximately 10 minutes elapsed between the time the citizen began video-recording and the time the police arrived. Dispatch records reflect approximately six minutes elapsed between the 911 call and arrival of the police. The Bend Police Department responded to the call and conducted the investigation in this case.
The Grand Jury considered the complete, unedited version of the citizen's cell phone video, a portion of which had been shown via local media, numerous still photos produced from the video, and heard testimony from 10 witnesses, including Mr. Alvarez, who cooperated with the investigation.
Mr. Alvarez has resigned his position as a Reserve Officer with the City of Redmond Police Department. The findings of the District Attorney will be published later, in more detail, on the District Attorney's web page.
The District Attorney reminds all citizens, when possible, to call 911 or the non-emergency dispatch line at 541-693-6911 when needing assistance with an unwanted individual.
Our local law enforcement officers are highly trained and skilled at dealing with situations involving people who exhibit irrational or threatening behavior, who appear to be under the influence of controlled substances or alcohol or who may be experiencing a mental health crisis.
Each police agency has several officers who have participated in Crisis Intervention Training designed to improve the way law enforcement and the community respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises.
The District Attorney also thanks community members who take video or photographs of incidents they suspect may be criminal, but reminds people to first call 911 if they believe they are witnessing a crime.

Hey honey, should we take that job in California?
Original post made by stephen levy, University South, on Dec 29, 2009
States compete fiercely for new businesses. California has high income tax rates and excessive regulations. We are not friendly to business and companies are fleeing California for these reasons.
I have a different perspective based on studying the California economy for the past 40 years.
The bottom line goes like this: 1) companies compete for workers and their families as well as for entrepreneurs and 2) companies care about much more than tax rates and regulatory policies when deciding where to locate. As a side note, the Public Policy Institute of California (www.ppic.org) has shown in several studies that neither companies nor high-income individuals are "fleeing California" in any large numbers.
I developed a short "hey honey" story to illustrate that competition includes being a state that is attractive to families.
"Hey honey, the recruiter from Apple called and you got the job--$200,000 to start." (You can fill in any famous company and amount).
"Wow, honey that's great news.
But what about Sarah and Chris? Where will they go to school? Do we have to buy a $1 million + house in Palo Alto or Cupertino to find a good public school?
And I hear that California universities are turning away students and raising fees.
Hey honey, do you know if California ever solved their water problem? And what about transportation and energy?
Isn't California where they fight over everything and can't pass a balanced budget?
Honey, I have a great idea. Let's call the recruiter and see if Apple wants to start a branch here in Omaha."
The California has a bad business climate narrative assumes that workers and families will come if only we can get companies to locate here. I think families today have many choices of where to live and have a good job. So California must compete with good schools, great infrastructure and communities that are attractive and affordable to the workers and families we are trying to attract.
But the argument that California competes by being a great place to live and work applies to businesses as well. Look at where California's good jobs of the future will come from. We are leaders in technology, in the expanding use of the Internet, in being creative designers of cars, energy-efficient buildings, clothes and entertainment products that captivate the world. And we hope to lead the world in developing goods and services that address energy-efficiency and climate change—the green revolution.
These businesses also want to locate in communities (and states) that are great places to live and work. The good schools, world-class infrastructure and attractive communities agenda is important to businesses as well or often more important than tax rates and regulations.
Californians need to engage in conversations about which vision of competing for business is the best guide to public policy or how the two visions can be melded.
If we decide that competing by having great places to live and work is the best strategy then we need conversations about how to fund the long-term investments in people, places and infrastructure that will make this happen.
This will all happen in a context of projected state budget shortfalls so it will be even more difficult to develop a consensus. Yet, what is true for companies is also true for states. If you stop investing for the future, you have stopped competing.
I end with two ideas to consider in these larger conversations about our economic future. I will write more about these ideas in the coming weeks.
The first idea is to make changes in the way we fund infrastructure investments. I think state General Obligation bonds should be funded with a tax just like we do when we pass local school or library bonds. This will improve decision making the costs real to voters and lower the cost to the General Fund of paying for bonds. The second change is to make it easier for local residents to pass infrastructure bonds by going to a 50% or 55% voting approval like we do now for school bonds.
The second idea is to engage residents in talking about how the future of California's generations (old and young) is connected. The idea of generational connection about our shared future is suggested in many recent articles by Dowell Myers of U.S.C. (Web Link).
In November 2008 at the darkest moment in recent economic times older voters in Los Angeles approved by more than a 2/3 vote $10 billion in school bonds financed by taxes. That money would go overwhelmingly to fund the children and grandchildren of immigrants who lived in a different part of the city from most of the voters.
How could they see that their futures were tied together and it is so hard to see this at the state policy level?
Happy New Year and may 2010 be a time of expanding peace and prosperity.

"The California has a bad business climate narrative assumes that workers and families will come if only we can get companies to locate here."
Since many recent college graduates are forced to move out of California, because they cannot find a job, your thesis seems to lack logic. Almost every job offer in the Bay Area has many applicants. Companies avoid California, not due to a paucity of qualified workers, but because it is too expensive to do business here. This goes to the regulatory burden, high taxes and bad business climate.
Mr. Levy, your arguments are a stealth attempt to raise taxes. California is already drowning in taxes. Just as an intellectual exercise, why don't you ponder the possbility that there will be no tax increases? How would you then tackle the problems of California?

Before lowering the goal for money bills;
1. Require college students to vote at their permanent address.
2. Make illegal registering or voting a felony, punishing aliens at minimum with expulsion.
3. Eliminate prosecutorial discretion in voter fraud cases.
4. Where there are more fraudulent votes then the margin of victory in anyu election, invalidate that election.

Whether California's high taxes and regulatory environment is driving away business and jobs has been argued over for years and statistics are always posted to support both sides of the argument. Personally I moved out of California after 47 years because of the high taxes and cost of living. Blessed with the ability to work from anywhere I couldn't come up with anything California was providing me that any other State wouldn't that would justify the cost. I have several friends and business associates who are doing likewise.
When I graduated business school several years ago I interviewed with Applied Materials for a position in Santa Clara. Several interviewers mentioned that one of my strong points was a willingness to relocate to California (I attended Business School out of State) because it was difficult to find applicants willing to do so because of the cost of living. Everyone wanted to be located at their Austin facility.
I imagine the situation has changed very little in the ensuing years.
A second company I worked for had two manufacturing plants in California they were planning on shutting down and moving to Nevada and Arizona respectively. The statement I heard in the boardroom was that they would never again open a plant in California because of the high costs as compared to other markets. A third company I was involved with moved their sales operations from Norwalk, Ca to Sparks, Nevada because of costs.
You can continue to argue all you want that there is little effect on jobs and businesses caused by the high costs associated with being in California but the truth is that it does hurt and that it will only get worse.

I am going to put this on Steve's blog instead of mine, but it has once again to do with the cost of insurance.
My landlord this month raised the general liability coverage required under the lease I have, and it doubles my premium.
Workmans compensation is so expensive for a small company in Calfornia, I am going to outsource more of the work, put some employees with an agency, and stop having a payroll. BTW this affects my ability to get a persoanl health care policy for me through my company--what a stupid tradeoff.
Health care coverage is confusing. I really hope we get some sort of health care and health insurance bill passed, so we all can at least know what is going on.
I am not one to have patience with detail, but it appears to me that various insurance providers on these various types have policies I describe have people who are detail oriented, and encouraged to say "No," not try to figure out how to make a policy work without costing the client an arm and a leg. They just don't care. They are accountable to a boss, not the customer.
So should you move to California? Unless you are getting involved with a company that has enough employees and money to cover all the onerous insurance expenses that a small business owner is "expected" to meet, my advice is no.
I don't know that my experience is unique to California, it may be a dilemma faced by small business owners nation wide. But as I said in my blog, it SUCKS! And I got another zinger today, December 30, to help me celebrate a happy new year.
I drive through areas of Fremont on the way to work each day where the parking lots are empty, and my landlord tells me their occupancy is very low. Are these insurance companies trying to make up for less demand by jacking up premiums on the rest of us? Something stinks here.
Again, it may not be unique to California, but we sure as hell are feeling it in this State.

Good Tom Elias op-ed in one of the local papers. It can be found at:

Paul L.,
If you move your business from Fremont to Reno, NV, you will save a lot of money. See this link: Web Link
Reno is a transportation hub, with a decent workforce (at lower costs vs. CA). The attached link shows you the very significant tax advantages.
Many CA companies have made this wise choice, and many more are to follow, until CA sobers up.
Yes, that was a decent op-ed by Elias. We Californians have done it to ourselves. Mr. Levy seems to want to pile on even more tax burdens, in the mistaken view of 'build it and they will come'.
a resident of Downtown North

Peter is right that Levy's post is an attempt to justify higher taxes (I would call it laughably transparent rather than "stealth" however.)
In fact, California's problem is that the taxes it has are spent in ways that don't deliver services and benefits worth their burden. There recently was an interesting column in the LA Times detailing the difference in the way that California spends its $11,000 per resident per year vs the way Texas spends it's $6500 per year. Web Link
Twenty years ago, what Levy says in his post may have had some truth: there were choices between high tax/high services states and low tax/low service states that people and businesses had to look at when deciding where to locate. Now the choice is increasingly between high tax/low service states like California and low tax/moderate service states like Texas - which is stealing jobs and taxpayers from California like crazy.
As one commenter notes: "Twenty years ago, you could go to Texas, where they had very low taxes, and you would see the difference between there and California. Today, you go to Texas, the roads are no worse, the public schools are not great but are better than or equal to ours, and their universities are good. The bargain between California's government and the middle class is constantly being renegotiated to the disadvantage of the middle class..."
Until California addresses the source of this problem: public sector unions and other interest groups that have hijacked the budget to the detriment of the average Californian, more taxes won't help.

Anna: The article about CA and TX is excellent. It also applies in spades to the city of Palo Alto, supposedly the greatest in the universe because of all it's marvelous "services" that eat up our tax dollars.
a resident of Mountain View

California's problems go beyond hobby horses like unions. The various disconnected Propositions from over the years take much of the budget. California's agribusiness has bought private profit and socialized expenses and losses in Washington and Sacramento. California is stuck with very large expenses required by Washington but not reimbursed. California is not responsible for NAFTA's failure and the disaster of the Mexican economy. China's economic warfare is, along with the prior Washington government that took a dive. That's the biggest reason we have so many new neighbors and we would do the same.
California's large tech companies have effectively bought a subsidy to move tech off shore and are doing so. Many of the best US students steer away from tech since if they get a job they aren't likely to get a career. Who wants to be 40-something with a mortgage and family but in the market with a heavy tech degree that is a disadvantage? The way the work visa programs are implemented - it was bought by companies - a US citizen or PR can't compete even on price. There is no competing with effective indenture. A brain-drain the world program is a great idea, but the numbers are so large that most of the people are average and more and more return. California is actually undeveloping and the supply of logs and rocks to export is diminishing.
The pay-to-play politics and corruption of Washington may finally necessitate IMF control for a few years as it did in Indonesia and Russia and elsewhere for similar reasons. These are not the times to have an insolvent California that needs a new Constitution and has irreconcilable politics. Even after cleaning up Sacramento and resetting the Constitution and Propositions, California may need to be divided to function as may the United States, perish the thought.
The present majority population probably won't contribute much to the Palo Alto population nor economy a generation hence. Which is all the more reason to have solid schools with sound values today. And to not drain the future with cranky excesses otherwise leaving little but payback. The behavior of the LA voters described in another post means real hope for the future I would have been too cynical to forecast - a good lesson.

Anna...shhhh....Texans do NOT want a bunch of us thinking that our lives might be better there, then moving to their State and trying to change it into California...destroying it with our "kindness" like we have done to California.
No "red" state wants to advertise that they aren't broke, they have jobs,they do a better job of educating their kids and people have a higher standard of living than the "blue" states. They prefer we keep thinking they are just a bunch of fools so we stay away from them.

BTW, I recommend anything by Thomas Sowell to understand real economics better ...his latest book "Intellectuals and Society" just came out, and I haven't read it yet. But if it is like all the rest, it will use actual data and historical evidence to show why seeming "good" ideas almost always produce the exact opposite of the intended results.
He also just published one about the housing boom and bust which is right on ( from personal experience in the business), and he has written a few excellent primers that are easy reads on economics ( like Economics 101, Applied Economics etc) Probably Applied Economics would be the best one to read if you are only going to read ONE of his books.
Anyway, for anyone who wants to actually understand and think for themselves, I recommend any of his books to help you analyze policies and vote in a way that will actually cause good things to happen.

"..destroying it with our "kindness" like we have done to California."
We know a lot of that "kindness" is bogus - propositions pushed and bankrolled by commercial interests and each with no relationship to the others. Agribusiness plans for private profit but socialized expenses and losses drain money. It's also worth noting that it retards progress in agriculture. Here in Mountain View and Palo Alto a lot of piety comes from people running their house as a real-estate business and tapping public funds for as many neighborhood improvements as possible while running out lower income people.
Our biggest problem in governance is an inherently corrupt political system in Sacramento that, according to the Supreme Court, has to be fixed at the Constitutional level. How much could be fixed by resetting the state Constitution is not clear, but everyone is afraid to do that. We might end up with 800 pages of junk including everything from vegetarianism to abortion to PETA to guns everywhere. Then again we might not.
"No "red" state wants to advertise that they aren't broke, they have jobs, they do a better job of educating their kids and people have a higher standard of living than the "blue" states. They prefer we keep thinking they are just a bunch of fools so we stay away from them."
Few red states want to advertise where their real budget comes from because so much comes from you and me. The Senate in Washington gives a Nebraska voter over 60 times the weight of a California voter if memory serves. If it wasn't for federal water projects, depletion allowances, price supports, porkbarreling, military bases and contracts, etc, etc, many of our sturdy individualists would be living in tepees in the desert. Maybe it's time they did. As dedicated Libertarians they should understand.
All Americans will come to understand that we have to lose at least a generation of 'standard of living' and roll up our sleeves if they don't already. "Beggar thy neighbor" won't work in California and it won't work much longer in Texas either. Given Texas' demographics they don't have that much time. California is filling up, Texas will too.
California has other reasons that might steer people away. As things get tighter, behavior degenerates. Many businesses are more and more a minefield of generational and ethnic warfare. That's especially true when they thin out low level management and worker's social overhead goes up. Another California piety is that a person can't wire themselves unilaterally as is possible in many other states. We are exposed to outrageous fraud, lying, abuse, and even assault with no possible recourse. None. That wasn't a service to people, however righteous the politically correct may be over it. Things are often not what they seem.
California needs more economics and entrepreneurial education but with as little politics as possible. We must not discourage startups with really high fees and Ottoman Empire level complexity. The Univ of Calif left behind important values like truth and student excellence decades ago. UC has become an important part of moving tech and jobs out of the US with a California taxpayer subsidy. There is a lot of work to do. Again, this is a dangerous time to be insolvent and hopelessly divided.

Disagree with most of what you say, but have to agree on one implication you made...stop the centralizing of power in DC whereby someone in DC takes someone's money in one state and gives it to someone else in another ..stop the "spread the wealth" mentality, and everyone will win, our economy will explode, and everyone is happier.
I believe that, regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, most of us can agree that it is wrong to tax people in one state and give it to another.
a resident of Meadow Park
on Jan 1, 2010 at 5:23 pm
To clarify, having just have a friend read this and not understand...a person in one state should not be paying taxes to another State to do STATE jobs, like roads, schools etc.
The one area I believe we can agree on, though we may disagree with how much is necessary, is that national security is EVERY citizen's duty to support. When talking about "wealth transfer" from one state to another, it would be important to note that MILITARY BASES and/or military support that happens to be housed in one State ( California and Texas both have a lot of bases, for example) are not "wealth transfers" from other states without bases, but "national security". Border control in our border states is not "wealth transfer" but national security.
We are drifting from the original intent of the post, but the idea remains. To tax a State's citizens or not is a big question, and certainly not helped if, additionally, there are huge fed taxes to impose wealth transfer obligations from one state to another.

The point of my post was to argue that California competes for families as well as entrepreneurs and that part of competing for both is great schools, great communities and great infrastructure.
I am interested in how people react to those arguments.
Certainly in PA we compete that way and have high housing demand as a result.
I am interested in how people react to the Los Angeles example at the end of my post--older voters stepping up to fund education fo rotehr folks' children. We do thatg in PA as well.
I am interested (without any judgmengt attached) as to why the people who love red states and tell Paul to move to Nevada still live here.
I think our biggest "high cost" is land and housing and high prices usually indicate demand from people who want to live here. I wonder if these folks are arguing that PA and other cities should abolish zoning so we can have more housing and lower prices.
Since houisng and land orices are high (despite the persistent blog posts aboug how awful CA is) I think we compete by compensating with great places to live and work.
Mainly I hope we can get unstuck from this awful paralysis of fighting the same arguments (and election results) over and over again.
There are people on TS who see the world very differently ffrom my perspective, which is fine.
Are there new voices who want to join in the discussion/

My belief is that people want to live in the Bay Area because the weather is great, and there are some top universities in this area. However, California, including the Bay Area, is becoming a much less desriable place for the middle class. It is the rich and the poor who are still coming to CA. The poor are the servants of the rich. The middle class cannot find jobs that support a middle class lifestyle.
If I was a small business owner, I would definitely look to Nevada for a better place to do business.
Mr. Levy, if taxes are not to be raised, how would you go about solving the problems that California faces?

I really liked the article. I think the ending made a really great point. Some people are thinking through the issue and funding education even in difficult times.
I think the economy is very important and we need to encourage innovation. The source of innovation is a desire for change and an education to make effective change happen.
I grew up in New Jersey and did my residency training in Ohio. I later came out to Stanford University for Law School. I happen to believe some of the most challenging parts of my life were the best.
Many people in history had more difficulty than we currently face. For this reason, we have to maintain hope and optimism and look at our virtues as a free society.

California prior to Prop. 13, had a total State and Local tax burden between 12 and 13 percent of GDP. After 13 it dropped to about 9 percent. That percent has risen through the last few decades till it reached about 11 percent in 2007-08. I found this information on the California State Website. Not sure exactly where. The site further noted that the percent burden was variable based on capital gains tax. In 07-08 or so it was significant. Since then Capital gains tax has dropped dramatically, and the overall burden of tax is closer to 9% again.
In the year that it was 11%, many framed the tax burden of california as being very high. In fact we were about 10 from the top. Looking at the tax burden page, at 9% we dropped below the mean. When you account for the cost of living in California, the tax rates relative to cost of running government puts us in the last quartile. So the argument over whether California is a high tax state or not, tends to fall in the not category.
From an State and local expenditure point of view, California is decreasing rapidly. The two main areas of growth in the California State budget are jails, and social services. The jail increase is almost exclusively due to three strike, and social services is due to medical/medicare which is federal mandate. When taxes where high, and we spent less on the previous two item, business and people where flooding the State. This brought in poor as well as rich. Especially where I grew up. The result was sky rocketing housing prices, which my family made a fortune off of, and hence property taxes, and the State was rolling in the dough....prop 13. We have lived off that value of previous infrastructure investment, and underlying tax base for a while. Now property values are falling, and so are tax revenues. The conditions of our roads suck, our schools except in the riches neighborhoods are poorly maintained and staffed, and middle class people are leaving.
The spending per capita on infrastructure, schools, colleges, etc. has decrease dramatically, and puts us in the bottom 1/5 of all States. Thus Mr. Levy is right.
It is not taxes or regulation that is "driving" people from california, it is quality of life that is strongly associated with public infrastructure and education.
Further, the real problem is the 2/3rds rule. As a Democrat, I would be willing to say, that we change the 2/3rds rule to 55% minute the republicans take 56% or more of the seats in the State legislature. Why, because as you get closer to a simple majority control a party that is extreme looses control, while the main stream win. This would result in Republican party to push, and win with more moderate candidates. I would be fine with moderate republicans. Further, I don't want the extreme faction running the Democrats.
Let the legislature do its job. Could you imagine trying to run apple development if all the consumers got to "vote" on which project they wanted to develop next, and you needed a 2/3rds majority to do it. The company would be out of business tomorrow.

Ok, Mr. Samuels, that is well written, but I believe the voting feet of the taxpayers more than any words.. You can believe anything you want, but you better put in your earplugs to drown out the sound of businesses and taxpayers stampeding to States that have a lower tax/regulation burden.
BTW, the spending per TAX PAYING capita is different from the spending per capita. We are near top in spending per taxpayer in education and infrastructure...If you can't find the data source, I will try to dig it up.
Not surprisingly, there is a migration pattern of net taxpayer losses in the higher taxed and regulated STates, and net gain of taxpayers in the lower taxed/regulate States.
That kind of migration says all I need to know, really..all the statistic manipulation in the world (never forget the guy who drowned in a river with an average depth of 2") can't change our migration patterns and begs the question..why are taxpayers and businesses leaving this State?
a resident of Greendell/Walnut Grove
on Feb 20, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Oh, sorry...meant to comment on the business allegory..as a matter of fact, businesses usually have Boards of Directors who represent the Shareholders..and DO vote on what the company needs to do..and in fact they are rarely set up to be a "simple majority" vote. Much the same as our legislature. Another example is even our School Boards or County Boards, which rarely vote with just a simple majority. They tend to wait until a solution is present and agreed on, with only a little dissent, before moving forward. Simple majorities tend to create strife and dissent in the representated population, and aren't good for decision making as a result ( think of how much dissent there is even over millions of votes in our Federal elections, when a president wins by just 52%, or when our Supreme Court makes a 5-4 decision..not good).
So, I vehemently disagree with a simple majority vote on almost anything. Which is why I really like the electoral college, as an aside.

People who compare Texas with California always seem to look at only half the equation. In common with the majority of "red" states, Texas takes more out of the Federal pot than it pays. The most recent data, 2005, here:
Web Link
show that, per inhabitant, Texas paid $6437 in federal taxes/etc., and took in $6,514. California, meanwhile, paid $8,028 per inhabitant, and only took in $6,514. What results could we show with an extra $300 million?
Having said that, I see nowhere in the Texas article that the LA Times actually demonstrates that the money is better spent in Texas -- they just quote people saying that it is.

text: Conference committee to consider state budget Senate and House versions of a $34 billion budget for fiscal 2014 head to a conference committee of House and Senate members that will start meeting at the beginning of June to resolve differing funding priorities. The bottom lines of the House and Senate budgets are virtually the same, as is their use of monies from the "rainy day fund" and from the yet to be enacted transportation bill to balance the budget. The new fiscal year begins July 1. Both the governor and House had proposed large investments in higher education. Unfortunately, the Senate did not follow suit when it passed its version on May 23. The MTA supported an amendment strategy to increase higher education funding in the Senate by $68 million, which would have matched House levels. The sponsor of the amendments assessed the situation and made the decision to withdraw the amendments rather than risk a close vote in the Senate, however, leaving the MTA in a stronger position to advocate for increased funding in conference. The Senate Ways and Means Committee's version of the budget did not contain either the MTA-supported higher education funding commission or a foundation budget review commission. However, an amendment submitted by Senator Eileen Donoghue (D-Lowell) to set up a Special Commission on Higher Education Quality, Efficiencies and Finance was adopted, and Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz successfully added the Foundation Budget Review Commission to the budget on a vote of 38-0. A number of other amendments adding funding for specific programs that MTA supported were successful. They affected local aid, regional school transportation, English language learners, METCO and school-based clinics, as well as increasing a reserve fund to boost early educators' salaries. An amendment by Senator Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) that would in effect have allowed state services to be privatized without any review for contracts below $2 million was defeated on a vote of 30-8. Once the Legislature passes the conference report, the budget will be sent to the governor, who has 10 days to accept or reject its provisions. When House and Senate versions of the budget are analyzed more closely, the MTA will ask members to urge legislators to weigh in with members of the conference committee on key priorities. Click here to learn more about the differences between the budget proposals passed by the House and Senate. Check out the MTA's Education Funding News section for additional resources.

Crowd loved Velcro's busy comic duo but Wild Beasts too long.
Velcro City is really more of a Velcro Village. All its friendly stock characters are played by a young onesie-wearing comic duo - the intense Eli Matthewson and the versatile, goofy Hamish Parkinson - who whip between costumes, and even sets, using small Velcro tabs.
There's George, the highwaisted elderly gent who calls his snoozy wife Mavis "Mavy-Gravy" and thinks that "every problem can be solved with a letter to the editor"; the nerdy teenage swain at "Unlimited Potential High School" with school colours in Dungeons and Dragons; the lesbian couple running the vegan cafe full of poetry readings and Ovaries of Steel magazines; and the local politician who's into "fresh-ality" - "fresh" boosted with "originality".
It could be called Felt Tip City - all costumes have been lovingly drawn on cardboard - and the bus driver costume, which uses Parkinson's face on a tiny drawn body behind sliding cardboard doors, deserved its applause.
Velcro City clings to obscure motes of New Zealand pop culture: OMG, remember Rubicon's "Bruce"? Did we really want to? Slight but amusing, and at its best when the boys are ad-libbing.
Wild Beasts was a different, er, beast: a fairytale drama of two young runaways, Sam and Jelly, who meet strange creatures in the forest. The Lucinda Bennett-penned script muses about identity and memory. It has much potential and room for interpretation - Sam wears jelly shoes, is Jelly her imaginary friend? - but the production felt a little too long, static and dimly lit, at least in a hot room on a sultry Auckland night.
Still, the all-enveloping tent set was beautifully sewn by someone's mum, and the stand-out performer was Sian van Asbeck as a wonderfully beaked birdwoman and then as an energetic slobberer who repeats "home, home home ..." until it turns into "help, help help ..." "Sometimes we've got to go back [home] to see how far away it is," says Sam sagely.
Each show costs $15.
What: Fringe Festival: Velcro City, to March 2, and Wild Beasts, to March 1
Where: Basement Studio.

'Possible meningitis' case reported at ETSU
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - There's a warning for the East Tennessee State University campus this afternoon about a possible case of meningitis.
A university press release says a dining services employee at ETSU has been hospitalized with possible meningitis.
ETSU anticipates receiving official confirmation of the diagnosis from public health officials today but the school began taking preventive actions on Wednesday as a precaution. We're told health officials have informed ETSU there has been no risk to the safety of food operations.
ETSU says the employee was not involved in food preparation or service.
Classes were not in session the last time the employee was last on campus.
Here are some more facts about meningitis from the CDC: meningitis is contagious and can be spread person-to-person through the air by coughing and sneezing.
It can also be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person
Common symptoms include fever, severe and persistent headache, chills, body aches, nausea, and neck stiffness.
Anyone who is experiencing these symptoms should contact his or her health care provider.

Movie Review: Mud

Could Mud be Matthew McConaughey's best role to date?

Director: Jeff Nichols
Rating: PG-13
Studio: Everest Entertainment
Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland
Small, beautifully made and superbly acted, Mud is one of the better recent movies.
Writer-director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter) spins an atmosphere-drenched tale set in Arkansas about a down-on-his-luck fugitive outlaw (Matthew McConaughey) hiding out on a deserted island on the Mississippi while two bored, troubled teenagers (Jacob Lofland, Tye Sheridan, both actors to watch) carry messages between him and the round-heeled love of his life (a good, gritty Reese Witherspoon), holed up in a cheap motel awaiting his signal to join him. McConaughey's character likens her to "a dream you don't wanna wake up from," and it's been a long time since Witherspoon stepped down from her pedestal and did some real acting. There's also good stuff from a supporting cast which includes Michael Shannon, Joe Don Baker and Sam Shepard, but it's McConaughey who is doing awards-caliber work here in what is clearly the performance of his career to date. He's compelling, sympathetic and mesmerizing as the mysterious, deeply flawed guy in desperate need of a second chance.
The film, part Stand By Me-ish coming of age tale, party fairy tale, part full-on thriller, resonates with the spirit and energy of great American literature of the South—the influence of Mark Twain is evident and welcome. The thing slips out of the writer-director's control during a way-too-long finale that defies belief, but what's come before is so good, you may be willing to cut Mud some slack.

Is there anyone who makes a foundation mill for 5.1 cell size? I know there are 4.9 mills, just didn't hear of a 5.1 yet. Thanks, John.
Is there anyone who makes a foundation mill for 5.1 cell size? I know there are 4.9 mills, just didn't hear of a 5.1 yet. Thanks, John.
Mann Lake sells one. Also, you can buy 5.1 wax foundation....
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Dan is correct, here is the link:
Note that the bottom of this page has both 5.1mm and 4.9mm mills, priced at $2565.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
I may just buy the foundation at that price. I have had pretty good success getting package bees to draw 5.1 right away in foundationless frames, but I would like to start using foundation to minimize all the drone comb you sometimes get with natural comb. John
Fat Bee Man sells them for $2000 for steel, $1300 for plastic. Check his site dixiebeesupply dot com.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
Or buy the mill directly from the mill maker.
Regards, Barry
I like that idea. Do you have or know where I can find that info? I tried to purchase from Chinese supplier but shipping & import fees were insane.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
Here's another option:
Note they are also quoting UPS Expedited shipping cost to the US. While shipping is high, the delivered price is still substantially less than the $2560 price referred to earlier.

Bruins ready to bury Flyers with Game 3 victory
|05.05.10 at 9:31 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA ' The Bruins took a big step toward the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night, taking a Game 3 win over the Flyers at the Wachovia Center. Boston put Philadelphia down 3-0 in the best-of-seven series with a 4-1 victory and will look to sweep away the Flyers in Game 4 on Friday. Tuukka Rask continued his solid playoff play and won his seventh game of the postseason, while Brian Boucher has fallen from his high perch coming out of the Flyers' quarterfinals series and took the loss by allowing three goals on 19 Boston shots.
Philadelphia put a digit on the board first for the first time in the series when Arron Asham struck 2:32 into the game. The play was set up when Bruins rookie defenseman Adam McQuaid turned the puck over to center Blair Betts at the blue line to start a 2-on-1 the other way with Claude Giroux and Asham. Giroux waited long enough down the left wing to put the puck on Asham's stick for a flip across the crease on Rask for the early advantage.
Boston came storming back. Blake Wheeler scored the first playoff goal of his career (in his 17th postseason game) when he tipped a Matt Hunwick shot from the left point through the crease to tie the game at 4:11 in the first. A minute later, the Bruins took the lead when Flyers center Mike Richards was over-aggressive in hitting David Krejci as the Bruins center made his way out of the zone and sent the puck sliding through the neutral zone to Milan Lucic making the entry on the blue line. Lucic flipped to Miroslav Satan rushing down the seam and the Slovakian forward made an up fake with his stick and went around a diving Boucher's glove to make it 2-1 at 5:15. Krejci would not return to the game after the hit.
Mark Recchi made it 3-1 at 2:30 of the third period on the power play when he was able to slam home a bouncing puck off a shot from Zdeno Chara in the high slot was blocked to the ice by Wheeler. It was Recchi's fourth of the playoffs and the 54th playoff goal of his career. Patrice Bergeron added an empty-netter at 18:02 to put the exclamation point on the victory.
Three Stars
Miroslav Satan — Scored the Bruins second goal and continues to lead his legions in playoff scoring with 10 points through nine games (5 goals, 5 assists).
Tuukka Rask — The Finnish rookie withstood the storm to emerge dry on the other side as the Flyers put up the most shots they had through the series.
Blake Wheeler — Scored his first career playoff goal and assisted on Recchi's in the third for his second career playoff multi-point night (second of playoffs).
Turning Point — Asham took a tripping penalty at the 50-second mark of the third period that was a touch of a questionable call as Matt Hunwick had lost an edge on the end boards on the sub-optimal Wachovia Center ice. The Bruins would take advantage on the power play when Chara slipped into the high slot and sent a screamer to the crease that Wheeler blocked down to the ice with his chest, straight to the stick of Recchi waiting for it to fall and bang home for the two-goal lead at 2:30.
Key Play — The Flyers had a great chance to tie the game at two around 14:52 of the second period when Asham put a ricochet rebound of Rask's pads back on the goaltender. Rask could not corral the rebound and Asham flipped it back to the far side, as Rask was out of the crease attacking the point of attack. But the forwards attempt hit the post and the Bruins were able to clear it out of the zone and protect their lead in a period where they were outshot 15-9.

Underground fires causing flare-ups in Black Forest
Fire crews responding to at least 30 smoke investigations per day
BLACK FOREST, Colo. - Black Forest firefighters said a buildup of heat in tree roots is what's keeping reports of hot spots and smoke sightings common.
Lt. Jamal Davis said many trees in the area were already stressed by drought and had little moisture, and the fire worsened the situation by spreading heat through the extensive root system that trees have.
Davis said fire crews will extinguish one hot spot, only to find later that the heat spread deeper into a root or spread to another root. Some root systems can be 5 feet deep, he said.
"Even though you can't see oxygen and there's really no flames, the roots will still be able to burn underground because they spread so deep and so far," said Davis. "They retain quite a bit of heat. Heat can build up to a point where it can cause a flare-up and a new fire if it's close to pine needles or other unburned material."
Firefighters smother the hot spots with dirt and soak them with water, a job that's kept crews extremely busy, with a minimum of 30 smoke reports made every day. Many residents remain fearful of another fire like the recent blaze that destroyed more than 500 homes.
"But we don't mind," said Davis. "As long as it prevents another fire. That's why we want people to call us if they see smoke, no matter how insignificant it might be."

Tips for building the best workbench for auto and small engine repair. Build a grease gun holder and add a central vacuum system to your garage.
Drop auto and small components on the metal workbench cover and blast off the bolts. The drip edge catches the oil spills and the metal cover prevents grease stains.
Clean up by wiping all the oil and grease into the sloped gutter so it will drain into a recycling bucket. Then wipe the metal top with disposable shop towels and you're done.
Drill, countersink and screw the steel plate to any wood top. Then screw down the cover with a few pan head screws covered with a dollop of silicone. Clamp a vinyl tube onto the drainpipe and route it into a bucket.
This sheet metal workbench cover is the first upgrade I made to my garage, and it's one of the wisest investments I've ever made. (Well, it beats my two wedding licenses anyway.) It's easy to clean (just squeegee the oil into the gutter and drain bucket), and it's heavy duty enough to handle heavy car parts. All it takes is some measuring and sketching and a trip to a sheet metal shop or a local HVAC shop and steel yard. The whole thing assembles in less than an hour and costs less than $300. Skip the steel decking if you wish, but it does prevent the top from denting and provides a more solid work surface. I paid $180 for the top and $92 for the 11-gauge (1/8-in.) steel plate (cut to size and then whacked into thirds for easy transport).
Free up floor space by storing your jack stands in this wall-hung holder. Then hang up your lightweight floor jack underneath. Your floor is now clutter-free.
Haven't you tripped over your jack stands enough? Build this brain-dead–simple storage rack and get them off the floor. If you have a lightweight floor jack, add mounting hooks under the holder. Screw a 2-in. PVC coupler onto the side of the rack and a 2-in. cap on the wall near the floor for the handle.
Keep your storage shelves grease-free by storing your grease gun in this wall holster.
A grease gun is big and, uh, greasy. So don't slime up your drawers or cabinets with it. Slice up a few sections of 1-in. and 3-in. PVC pipe and screw them to a plywood backer to make this slick grease gun holder. Then slap up a 2-in. coupler and cap to hold a backup tube of grease.
Slit some up PCV pipe down the middle and you've got stackable drawer organizers to keep all your small tools handy.
When you're right in the middle of a project, you don't need to waste time pawing through drawers looking for tools. So keep frequently used tools neatly stacked in your workbench drawer using this handy setup. Cut 1- or 2-in. PVC pipe to length. Glue on end caps and then slit each pipe in half on a band saw. Screw them to the drawer bottoms and load them up!
Install 2-in. sanitary tees on the ceiling and drop a pipe near each car door. Install a long 90-degree bend and a stubout to connect the hose. Cap off the stubout with a standard 2-in. pipe cap when not in use.
Connect the plumbing pipe to the power unit with adapter fittings.
OK, I admit it. This setup is overkill. But once I got the vacuum mounted to the wall, it just made sense to run inexpensive 2-in. PVC all over the place. That way I didn't have to drag the 35-ft. hose all over the garage. Buy adapters to connect standard plumbing PVC to the vacuum (central vacuum fittings are 2-in. O.D., while plumbing fittings are 2-in. I.D.).
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Posted by James Staten on January 24, 2011
Forrester's survey and inquiry research shows that, when it comes to cloud computing choices, our enterprise customers are more interested in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) than platform-as-a-service (PaaS) despite the fact that PaaS is simpler to use. Well, this line is beginning to blur thanks to new offerings from Amazon Web Services LLC and upstart Standing Cloud.
The concern about PaaS lies around lock-in, as developers and infrastructure and operations professionals fear that by writing to the PaaS layer's services their application will lose portability (this concern has long been a middleware concern — PaaS or otherwise). As a result, IaaS platforms that let you control the deployment model down to middleware, OS and VM resource choice are more open and portable. The tradeoff though, is that developer autonomy comes with a degree of complexity. As the below figure shows, there is a direct correlation between the degree of abstraction a cloud service provides and the skill set required by the customer. If your development skills are limited to scripting, web page design and form creation, most SaaS platforms provide the right abstraction for you to be productive. If you are a true coder with skills around Java, C# or other languages, PaaS offerings let you build more complex applications and integrations without you having to manage middleware, OS or infrastructure configuration. The PaaS services take care of this. IaaS, however, requires you to know this stuff. As a result, cloud services have an inverse pyramid of potential customers. Despite the fact that IaaS is more appealing to enterprise customers, it is the hardest to use.

One of the things that frustrates some and causes others to smile in this "sport" is the array of opinions. I thought Virtue and Moir were spot on last night and looked better than early in the season. I only saw the program live and once, so I understand that other sets of eyes may have seen things differently or may have viewed the program more than once. In contrast, I watched Davis and White on YouTube (my stream died before they skated live) and criticize them for something I've noticed in some prior performances: they didn't interpret the music well. There's no question that their speed is tremendous, but they skated as if the music was essentially one big blast and I don't think they ever thought to insert subtlety into the program to bring some contrast in. I think there's no shame in putting D/W technically high up there and then hitting them when they don't interpret music in a way that makes sense. Anyway, at least both teams were "better" in their discipline than Chan and Ten!
Time to try to watch the ladies' LP on video.

Ship imagery is synonymous across Southeast Asia with the journeys of ancestors from distant lands to present-day villages. Also a metaphor for the spiritual journey of a person's soul, ship motifs are frequently depicted on textiles associated with life cycle events including births, puberty and initiation rites, betrothal and marriage, and funerals.
In southern Sumatra large heirloom ship cloths, palepai, are the prerogative of the nobility and are made for ceremonies celebrating high rank. Shown here are two elegant ships with sweeping prows and curling oars. Lining the decks of each vessel are aristocratic figures, some gathered beneath large parasols, and impressive elephants that confer prestige. Smaller boats are depicted alongside creatures of the watery underworld, while the birds of the upper world soar above.

However, an hour or so later and it is wired and plumbed and working albeit not actually fitted to the wall yet. Will need to borrow a drill asap to finish the job.
Out to the farm late afternoon as usual then to Pak Chong to borrow a drill from German John. Have to stay and have a beer with him before leaving and when he goes to the house to get the drill he returns with another beer so ...

Kaetlyn Osmond (CAN)
Carolina Kosnter (ITA)
Mao Asada (JPN)
Akiko Suzuki (JPN)
Yuna Kim (KOR)
Alena Leonova (RUS)
Adelina Sotnikova (RUS)
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva (RUS)
Ashley Wagner (USA)
Gracie Gold (USA)
Of course, Mao can perform like she did at the beginning of this season, heck maybe last season, but her performance at 4cc shows she can do it, and if she lands her jumps, she's likely to surpass Caro. It's possible she may have < and <<'s but 70% rule will help her out.
Caro's records at worlds:
200607 200708 200809 200910 201011 201112
6th 2nd 12th 6th 3rd 1st
Average 5th place
Yuna's records at worlds:
200607 200708 200809 200910 201011
3rd 3rd 1st 2nd 2nd
Average 2.2th place
Mao's records at worlds:
200607 200708 200809 200910 201011 201112
2nd 1st 4th 1st 6th 6th
Average 3.3th place
Pretty sure Yuna and Mao would surpass Caro.
if you think that kostner has peaked this season, then even at her peak her sp, fs, and total score are still all below Mao's, the numbers don't lie
Carolina faces the pressure of defending a World title with much tougher competition. It remains to be seen if she can keep it together under such conditions. Last year, she had Worlds all to herself.
At least Mao and Yuna have shown stronger mettle in competition, though not very recently.
I think that there is just one thing to say: these three girls are all amazing, the one who will skate the best will win.
Mao has the pressure of earning a medal after two years of poor showings, Yu-Na has pressure because it will surely be her last WC and she wants to earn 3 spots for the Korean girls for Sochi and Caro has the pressure of being the reigning WC... Anything can happen!
All three ladies Yuna, Mao and Carolina have great shots for gold. though both Mao and Carolina with their inconsistencies (Mao underrotations and jump problems; Carolina with her jump issues if they rear their ugly heads) are more vulnerable not to podium. But it will be interesting. i think what is more interesting is who will win three spots. Japan yes but will the USA or russia earn three spots - potentially thest two nations with their placements could destroy each other between their 5 skaters. without Korpi Osmond could be a spoiler or Suzuki and Murakami - their placements will heavily affect those two nations bid for 3.
I thought the downgrades Mao got at GPF were totally uncalled for. Did not look like anything past the 1/4 turn. I hate how the tech caller didn't give Mao the benefit of the doubt on those.
I know her issues but I think the momentum is on Mao's side so I'm going with her. I think she's a pressure skater too. I know she's fallen short in recent years but it's more to do with technical issues. But she has the ability to focus through pressure just like Yuna. I think it'll be hard for Yuna to come back to worlds after going so long without a major competition but I've always said that if any lady can do it it's Yuna.
Seeing as how YuNa is the most dependable of the three "top" ladies, I'd expect her to, at least, make the podium. What position? I have no idea because it's all based on speculation at this point. Also, I remember reading somewhere that YuNa doesn't perform her 3Lo because of back problems. It doesn't seem wise, to me at least, for her to train a jump that is more likely to result in injury.
Mao definitely has the content, but if we look back at last season, Mao performed well at 4CC but was lackluster at Worlds. If anyone could explain that I would like to hear it.
Caro's chances of making the podium are good, but defending her world title is a different story. I don't believe that she's dealt with pressure throughout her career very well, despite being the great skater that she is. I really wish that we could have gotten training videos from all three ladies to base some of our judgements on.
And something that concerns me, is the number of entries that each country is trying to earn for the Olympics. From what I said before, it'd be interesting to see if YuNa could earn 3 spots for KOR, I believe Hae-Jin and SoYoun will be of age. (deep down, I'd like for Min-Jeong to stage a comback, it's a little farfetched since she seems to have lost most of her triple jumps from injury and growth) USA is really in a clutch situation here. We don't know how Ashley's faring, and we don't know how well Gracie will score even if she is clean.
Carolina seems far better at holding herself together these days; adding her old content back gradually seems to have been the right choice. We haven't seen anything like 2009 worlds or 2010 Olympics from her in ages.

I just discovered something under my driver's seat. While my van has navi and a rear dvd - I have no idea what this is?!?!?It looks like another dvd player, but I can't imagine why I would have that.Does anyone know?
Many on-board Navi systems store maps on disks. Could that be what you are seeing? This way, to get updated maps, one swaps out one disk for a new one. The old one becomes a coaster, I'd think.Check the owners manual.
That is your navi system. It has a separate DVD system under the drivers seat. Beware: You will want to update it after a couple of years and the updated DVD is over $200.00. I know the owners manual is huge, but you might want to sit down and read as much as you can. It's an awful lot of stuff in an Odyssey with DVD & Navi. I have an '05 and I think its time to go over my book again.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of voice commands for the 2008 Honda Odyssey?I just realized that it does it - but have no idea what I can ask it to do.Thanks!

If you don't mind paying a bit more for it, you can order it off the internet at: http://www.mid-conagri.com/P5205.HTM
I remember there being another source online that you could buy in larger quantities but don't have that address.
How much are you looking for i buy quite a bit each year.
Any good hardware store should be able to order it for you.
If I recall, #8 is also known as hardware cloth, galvanized I think. I got a roll too big for my needs at Sears Hardware.
I got tired of never having it when I needed it so I bought a roll from www.twpinc.com in California, the only place I could find a roll. It's still foreign made but it does the job, shipping's kinda steep though....
jlk... How much are you looking for, and what width. I get mine in Georgia at an old time Farm Store. I could see what it costs and how much it would cost to ship it. They sell it by the running feet, I think the width is 36 inches, but not sure. I can measure tomorrow.
Don't mind helping you out.
Get mine from Ace Hardware, came in a 100 ft roll, 18" wide. Don't remember the price. Any Ace will have it or can get it from warehouse.
ACE is the place if you can find a good one, they can order and you dont pay shipping
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
We have Orchard Supply hardware around here that sells it. I think its owned by Sears.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Any good farm supply store should sell it. The big box tractor supply does not but all my local farm supplies do. Some sell it by the foot. I bought a 100' roll.

From "Asian Games: The Art of Contest" exhibit: "Shiva and Parvati
Playing Chaupar"
Institute of Texan Cultures hosts 'mind games' lecture
By Meg Gibson
Curator, UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures
(March 7, 2006)--The games we play, whether cards, board games or sports, often involve more than meets the eye -- a strategic application of psychology can be part of the game.
Tiffanye Vargas-Tonsing, UTSA assistant professor of health and kinesiology, will lecture on "Mind Games: Applying Psychology to the Games We Play" at 6 p.m., Thursday, March 9 at the Institute of Texan Cultures auditorium, 801 S. Bowie St. in downtown San Antonio.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

The presentation is free and open to the public.
Vargas-Tonsing will discuss mind games and psychological strategies players use to gain a competitive edge. Everything from confidence to intimidation to the color of the shirt someone is wearing can affect performance and the ultimate outcome of the game.
In her talk, Vargas-Tonsing will discuss some of the fascinating psychological concepts at play in games and new techniques that can be applied when gaming.
The lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibit, "Asian Games: The Art of Contest," which runs through March 10. The exhibit is made possible through the NEH on the Road, a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities, brought by Exhibits USA, a national program of Mid-America Arts Alliance, and organized by the Asia Society, New York.
