Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ok, I'm new here. I've read through many of the pages here and I believe the UF in UFO stands for 'unfinished', but what is the O? Thanks.
Same as the traditional UFO - Object. That way it covers the whole gamut of unfinished objects - quilting or otherwise
Thanks. I suppose I could join but I am only working on one quilt project at the moment and it should be done in mid march. Sooner if I could set and hand quilt for longer than 2 hours of an evening!
Hey Ranchwife, I don't suppose you live near me? I'm a ranch wife too (most days I feel like the rancher) in NE Cali nowhere near the Bay area or disneyland.
And WELCOME by the way.

Geeze, I do actually finish quilts - I think I finished 4 last year - but, to look at this note it would appear I just start quilts and never finish them! I didn't even realize how many I have sitting until I started to count - you know, one or two a year that didn't seem to get done! After 10 years or so, they add up!

I have finally finished one UFO, this one was started in December 2011 right after Christmas.
It is a pieced, quilted & beaded wallhanging of our 9 grandchildren.
Congrats on your great finish, but even more, congrats on having such a fantastic wall hanging of your lovely grandchildren!!

I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
Oh gramquilter2 I really love it! There will never be another one like it! Awesome!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Hi, I'm new to the quilting board, saw this thread and said great, this is just what I need. I moved recently and found several UFO's I have forgot about. I will be quilting one tommorrow. My LQS allows you to rent time on their quilting machine and I've made my appt.
Will send a picture as soon as it's bound.

Viet Nam-US joint commission convenes
The meeting was held within the framework of the Viet Nam-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) with the aim of reviewing the two country's cooperation over the past five years.
The delegation of Viet Nam was headed by Bui Huy Hung, Director of International Relations Department under the Governmental Office with the participation of representatives from the Ministries of Trade, Planning and Investment, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Post and Telematic, Justice, Science and Technology, Culture and Information, and Agriculture and Rural Development.
The US delegation was led by Babara Weisel, Assistant to United State Trade Representative (USTR) with representatives from the Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of Commerce, Treasury and the Federal Reserve Department (FED).
The two sides reviewed the bilateral economic, trade and investment cooperation during the 2006-07 period as well as the five-year (2001-06) implementation of the BTA, including various areas such as trade in goods, intellectual property rights, services, investment and the improvement of the legal environment in Viet Nam in line with the market economy and BTA commitments.
On the sidelines of the main meeting at the USTR headquarters, the two sides held sub-meetings concerning the US monitoring mechanism on garments and textiles imports from Viet Nam and cooperative measures to prevent bilateral trade disputes with the US Department of Commerce.
Legal regulations concerning anti-money laundering with the US Treasury and Department of Justice, facilitation for Vietnamese commercial banks to open representative offices in the US with FED and the implementation of commitments on intellectual property rights made in Ha Noi with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) were also high on the agenda of the sub-meetings.
After the meeting, the two sides were both of the opinion that the BTA has proved to be a successful agreement between Viet Nam and the US. Through the BTA implementation, bilateral trade turnover between the two countries reached 9.7 billion USD in 2006, an eight-fold increase over the previous five years when the BTA had not been signed.
By the end of 2006, US investment in Viet Nam amounted to 4.5 billion USD (including investment capital from third countries), bringing the world's largest economy to sixth among 75 countries and territories investing in Viet Nam.
They agreed that the implementation of the BTA and US technical assistance from the US Agency of International Development have been helpful to Viet Nam in building many important legal documents to fall into line with the country's BTA commitments.(VNA)

Excerpt: "An upset and irritated Jerry Jones vented his frustration Wednesday morning on his weekly radio show on KRLD-FM 105.3, vowing that changes are coming and saying that everyone at Valley Ranch will be uncomfortable over the next few months, Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News reports.
The Cowboys finished 8-8 for a second consecutive season Sunday. Also, for the second consecutive year the Cowboys lost their season finale on the road against a divisional foe that could have given them the NFC East title and a playoff berth.
A year ago, the Cowboys lost to the Giants and had to watch them march on to a Super Bowl victory. Now the Cowboys have to sit at home and watch the rival Redskins play in the postseason.
Jones, the Cowboys' owner and general manager, made it clear Wednesday that he's not happy with the current state of the Cowboys, emphasizing that the coaches and players need to be working more on fundamentals." Read more...

Local chain stores meet projected sales
Locally-owned boutiques not seeing the same numbers
POCATELLO, Idaho - Chances are, you're done with your holiday shopping, or maybe you've taken advantage of the after-Christmas sales. Local chain stores say they have met holiday sales goals, but one local boutique says she'll be happy to just make last year's final amount.
Cynthia Naftzger of Cynthia Louise Boutique was very nervous the week before Christmas. She had about $7,000 she needed to earn just to break even with last year's numbers, and she didn't know why.
"What is going on? I'm less than half of what I was last year," Naftzger said, "And the year before and the year before that - my very first December - was even better. So it was like, oh my goodness, what is happening?"
Naftzger said she thinks many people are holding tighter to their money.
"I actually had a client come in and say, 'We're just thrifting and regifting this year,'" Naftzger said.
But she also said they've lost several businesses in Old Town Pocatello.
"We lost The Youth Ranch and we lost Gallows," she said. "I think both of those stores brought people into town more often."
But the Idaho Youth Ranch moved just next to Fred Meyer, which would explain why Fred Meyer met earlier holiday projected sales. Pocatello Herberger's also met its goals, as did the Big K-Mart.
ShopperTrak.com (http://www.shoppertrak.com) also stated it has seen a 9% increase in online shopping, something Naftzger said she struggles with. She said it's hard being a small business owner and trying to maintain a full website as well. But she said she has to, if not to keep up with demand for website deals.
"I'm going to try to work a little bit more on that this year," she said. "I'm going to get more pictures and get more things online so people can shop online at my store if it's too cold out or they're too far away."

Scientists say they have seen the future of genetically modified foods and have concluded that it is orange or, more precisely, golden.
In a few months, golden rice - normal rice that has been genetically modified to provide vitamin A to counter blindness and other diseases in children in the developing world - will be given to farmers in the Philippines for planting.
Thirty years after scientists first revealed they had created the world's first GM crop, hopes that their potential to ease global malnutrition problems may be realised at last. Bangladesh and Indonesia have indicated they are ready to accept golden rice in the wake of the Philippines' decision, and other nations, including India, are considering planting it.
"Vitamin A deficiency is deadly," said Adrian Dubock, a member of the Golden Rice project. "It affects children's immune systems and kills around two million every year in developing countries. It is also a major cause of blindness in the third world. Boosting levels of vitamin A in rice provides a simple straightforward way to put that right."
Tests have revealed that a substantial amount of vitamin A can be obtained by eating only 60g of cooked golden rice.
But scientists' satisfaction over the Golden Rice project has been tempered by the fact that it has taken an extraordinarily long time for the GM crop to be approved. Golden rice was created late last century, but its development and cultivation has been opposed vehemently by campaigners who refused to accept it could deliver enough vitamin A, and who argued that the crop would make farmers in the developing world increasingly dependent on western industry.
The scientists reject this view. "We have developed this is conjunction with organisations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as a way of alleviating a real health problem in the developing world," said Dubock. "No one is going to make money out of it. The companies involved in developing some of the technologies have waived their licences just to get this off the ground."

These are difficult to find in a retail store. I was given a sample from my father and was impressed by the comfortable shave I got, and also, they are long lasting. I tried to find them in local stores, supermarkets, etc. without luck. The price here from iHerb seems fair, I will continue to buy from them as long as they carry them. I recommend that they are worth a try, you will not be disappointed.

Getting around in Aarhus is easy. Everything is within easy reach, and many choose to either walk or cycle in central Aarhus.
Aarhus does, however, also have a bus network with excellent coverage which makes it quick and easy for you to get where you want. The city buses are yellow. They operate all day in the central Aarhus area, and if you need to go further than this, there are also city bus routes to and from the surrounding suburban areas. If you need to travel outside Aarhus, you can also choose to go by one of the blue regional buses which have services to destinations throughout Jutland.
Bus stops are located throughout Aarhus. The area around the Central Station and the City Hall is the main junction point, and the majority of the bus services pass through this area.
When visiting Aarhus you can choose between two types of bus fare
You can buy a ticket for cash when boarding the bus. If you are only going a short way, you need to buy a ticket for two zones which cover the city centre and the immediate suburbs. Cash tickets are valid for two hours during which period you can freely change city buses.
If you are staying in Aarhus for a number of days, you can also choose to get a multi-ride ticket valid for ten rides. The multi-ride ticket is available from newsagents, supermarkets, and other outlets. When visiting Aarhus, you will be pleased to know that the bus route network makes it easy for you to get to your destination.
From the hotels, youth hostels, and camping grounds in and around the city, you can always take the bus whether you are going shopping in the city centre or visiting one of the many fascinating attractions in Aarhus. The buses go straight to your destinations and make travel clear and easy for you when moving around in Aarhus.
You can also choose to buy an AarhusCard which provides free travel in zones 1 and 2, free admission or admission at a discounted price to a large number of attractions and activities in Aarhus, and free parking in the city centre.

The Technicolor palette decking the walls of The Saguaro Palm Springs—a stark contrast to the dark and menacing San Jacinto Mountains behind it—is an apt welcome to Southern California's favorite getaway town.
After all, it's wildflower season in this desert city less than two hours east of Los Angeles, and The Saguaro, which opened in February, pays homage to those very blooms with its vivid rainbow of reds, greens, blues, yellows, purples, and pinks—12 shades total—that are splashed throughout the hotel.
Let the sunshine in with this week's Escape: a one-night stay for two in a Pool View King or Two Queen Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($72) or Fridays and Saturdays ($102) between June 1 and September 15, or Sundays through Thursdays between April 3 and May 31 ($109).
Also apt: The trend-setting hospitality group that owns the 245-room hotel. Joie de Vivre translates as "the joy of living," and what a joy it is at The Saguaro. Check in to your second- or third-floor guest room, with views of the pool and courtyard, and soak up 275 square feet of sunny, chic accommodation. Each room is appointed with a king or two queen beds, a sitting area with flat-screen TV, a work station, handcrafted Mexican furniture, and luxury bath products and linens.
Go for a dip in the Olympic-size pool, lined with canary-yellow chaises and mature palm trees. It's the centerpiece of this design-forward enclave in the desert, and it's bustling with sun gods and goddesses, especially with the full bar that's propped up poolside. At night, join under-the-stars revelry around the fire pit.
But not before you indulge in dinner. At the helm of Tinto, the on-site restaurant, Chef Jose Garces has assembled a shining menu of Basque-style pinxtos. Like tapas, pintxos are served in small portions, and the Iron Chef's menu includes the likes of lamb-loin brochetas with bacon and sherry jus, and truffled chestnut soup with duck and mushroom hash. The wine list, a fitting tribute to the appellations of Northern Spain and Southern France, is equally tantalizing, with about a dozen wines by the glass, 50-plus by the bottle, and a handful of cocktails, to boot.
The desert may be dry, but this vivid new addition to the Palm Springs scene is anything but. Jump in, make a splash, and celebrate the colors and flavors of spring with this week's Escape.

In today's mobile news roundup: BlackBerry 10 get U.S. security clearance ahead of launch; Microsoft Office app for iOS and Android; Lenovo set to rival top dogs in mobile industry; and network carriers to waive fees for Hurricane Sandy victims.
BlackBerry 10 gets U.S. security clearance ahead of launch
Though Research in Motion has yet to release BlackBerry 10, the long overdue update to their mobile platform, they've already secured a very important approval that could possibly tip the scale to their advantage. Once again, RIM managed to acquire FIPS 140-2 certification, which means U.S. and Canadian government branches, as well as private companies, can deploy the BlackBerry 10 devices upon launch.
The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) certification is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and it is only given to devices qualified to be used by the government, verifying that sensitive or classified material can be sent using the certified devices. RIM's tablet, the PlayBook, was given the same certification last year.
Microsoft Office app for iOS and Android
According to The Verge, several sources close to Microsoft revealed that the software giant is indeed planning on launching a mobile version of Office 2013 for iOS and Android by next year, despite the fact that last month, Microsoft's head of corporate communications, Frank X. Shaw, denied Petr Bobek's , Microsoft Office portfolio manager in the Czech Republic, statement that Office 2013 will be released by March 2013.
Office Mobile will be consisted of several free apps – versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, that iOS and Android users can use to view Microsoft documents. Users will need a Microsoft account to view these documents, and editing functions will come with an Office 365 subscription. The iOS version is expected to launch by February or early March, while the Android version will be coming in May.
When asked for a comment regarding the matter, Microsoft no longer denied the rumor and stated that, "Office will work across Windows Phone, iOS and Android."
Lenovo set to rival mobile industry's top dogs
Lenovo is said to be the leading PC vendor, outshining HP and Dell in the process. Though that is extremely great news for the company, the PC business is slowly dying as analysts see this as a "sunset industry." So the next step is to invade the mobile industry, currently dominated by Samsung and Apple.
In China, Lenovo sold 8.6 million phones, including 7 million smartphones during the second quarter, putting them in second place behind Samsung. They want to translate their success in China to the rest of the world. Though mobile may be the next frontier for the Chinese company, that doesn't mean that they will be abandoning the PC market anytime soon – that would still be their bread and butter.
Network carriers to waive fees for Hurricane Sandy victims
Aside from providing mobile charging stations in Hurricane Sandy-affected areas, Verizon stated that customers throughout New Jersey will not be billed usage charges for domestic voice and text usage incurred between October 29 and November 16. Affected Verizon customers don't have to do anything to be eligible for the offer, as charges incurred during the said dates will automatically be removed from their bill.
Other networks are also helping Sandy victims, with AT&T extending the late-payment window for Sandy-affected customers, waiving late fees, and not disconnecting services because of non-payment. Sprint waived late fees, overage charges, roaming and call-forwarding fees, and renewal extension for prepaid services, and T-Mobile promised to continue providing service to prepaid and contract customers unable to make a payment on their account until today, November 8.

Some of you were having difficulty with the attachment so there is the copy and paste.
I am also including an informational sheet here that I am going to use this year for swarm calls. Notice the part about donations!
Honey bees are an invaluable and often unappreciated part of our lives. Without them we would have no almond bars nor apple pies, no watermelons, orange juice, nor cotton pajamas to name a only a few. Bees pollinate flowers and plants to produce the fruits, vegetables, and other crops we depend upon. Our economy benefits from them to the tune nearly 14 billion dollars per year. For this reason, I remind everyone that honey bees are normally gentle and non-aggressive as long as they or their homes are not disturbed nor given cause for alarm.
In late March and throughout the months of April, May, June and as late as August honey bees have a means of dividing their numbers and set off to establish a new colony. This method is called swarming. Often, people have been known to see bees massing in large numbers on low hanging tree limbs, bushes and on building walls.
As they travel in search of a new home, they rest in what often looks like a Âhoneybee-beardÂ. They land upon bicycles, trees, picnic tables, sides of houses and barns et cetera.
As these helpful creatures travel, please do not attempt to destroy or harm them. They can be safely removed by local beekeepers that have special tools and suits. They are also familiar with the bees ways and will be able to find a better home for them than the backyard or playground.
If you see a large number of bees and wish to have them removed please contact me or another local beekeeper that will handle them with care in order to find a new home for them. *Local pest control companies must follow federal and state laws regulating pesticides uses and often will not spray honey bees (apis mellifera), which are endangered. Besides capturing swarms I also remove bees from inside houses walls and other structures with a special vacuum, which captures them alive.
If you have appreciated my services I do accept donations to cover the cost of gas and my time for capturing swarms. THANK YOU FOR NOT SPRAYING THE BEES!
Please call Jason Groppel at (931)358-4003 to have a swarm /colony of honey bees removed from a yard, building or tree or if you have questions concerning honey or honey bees.

Help! I have just had a swarm of honey bees tunnel into a corner of my siding and make a nest. I have loasds of dead bees on the ground from the original swarm and the bees fly in and out of this corner all day. I have a five year old very allergic to bee stings and I am afraid of honey in my walls, the inside wall is my dining room. How do I remove these. Do I call someone? Know anyone in Memohis? I am quite paniced by this. The terminex guy says he cant do anything. What do I do?
beworried, i can't help you here, but i would suggest posting an individual thread whose title would catch the eye of a beekeeping near memphis. do this at this site and also at http://www.beemaster.com/beebbs/ they also have a beekeeping forum. good luck to you!

>Help! I have just had a swarm of honey bees tunnel into a corner of my siding and make a nest.
Sorry, but bees don't tunnle. They don't have the mandibles (jaws) for it. But if they find a hole 1/4" in diameter they can get into the wall.
>I have loasds of dead bees on the ground from the original swarm and the bees fly in and out of this corner all day.
Original swarm? Not this one? I'm confused now.
>I have a five year old very allergic to bee stings and I am afraid of honey in my walls,
I would be afraid of honey in the walls too. It won't take them long to put a lot of it away in there.
>the inside wall is my dining room. How do I remove these. Do I call someone? Know anyone in Memohis? I am quite paniced by this. The terminex guy says he cant do anything. What do I do?
You have a few choices. For one, how long have they been there? The shorter the time the less likely they have stored alot of honey in there.
You can by Apicide form Brusy Mt. Bee Farm it will kill bees. But then you still have honey in the wall and any bees who try to get that honey will get poisened by the Apicide and so the honey will remain and the combs will melt on a hot day and make a mess.
You can find a beekeeper who is willing to remove them. But that may require removing a lot of your siding. This is a major carpentry job and usually the beekeeper is not a carpenter, so they remove the siding and the bees and after there are no bees you get a contractor to come and fill the cavity with some foam or something so another swarm of bees won't come there and replace the siding.
If you can find a beekeeper who wants to do a "cone" removal and you are willing to be patient and have a lot of disoriented bees flying around for a few days, they can put a one way "trap" on the entrance that lets the bees out but won't let them in. Usually a hive is set outside for them to move into. After most of them have moved out, usually the beekeeper takes these away, so they won't move back in and then brings a strong hive to rob out the honey in the wall. A little honey on the entrance to bait it and the strong hive steals all the honey in the wall. Then you use "great stuff" or some other foam and fill the hole and hopefully the cavity in the wall so bees won't move back in.
Good luck.
Did you ever find anyone to do the beehive removal for you?
I wish I were closer so I could help you remove the bees from your house. It would take about 3-4 hours, but you could be done with them once and for all. Spraying them is definitely not an option. The cone method is nice, but takes a month or two to complete usually.

[quote user="mjg407"]
Everyone keeps talking about how the packers are a "young" team. I consider our team a young team. Our rookies came up big last night, Bradshaw, Ross, Johnson, Boss, Alford, Smith. Our future is bright! I really think that BJs job is in trouble when Bradshaw starts to really learn pro football. I'm glad that grant didn't burn us last night too.

I read somewhere that we are the third youngest team in the league.

Bear is a valuable player to have. He can play two different positions, and has always stepped in at either when needed and done a suitable job. Sure we don't want him as a long term starter at TE or FB, but as a guy who steps up when others are injured, I'm fine going with him until Hyno gets healthy..
It's a great thing when you have a player like Bear. i don't understand why people knock on him. I thought at first the analysts were making fun of him when going over the SF/Giants playoff highlights in his TD.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
We al want Pascoe to be a success because he is the hard working , not so talented underdog. Who doesn't root for that guy? But lets be honest here, over the last few years he has had an amazing string of lucky circumstances that allowed him to remain on the Roster. Ben Patrick retiring at 27. Losing Ballard and Beckum to injuries that both lasted far longer than initially thought. Then the Pats sly move nabbing Ballard from our roster. The Raiders offering Kevin Boss a ridiculous contract. The injury to Hedge****. Every single 1 of these events opened up a roster spot, in most cases the 3rd TE spot which allowed us to keep Pascoe.
People like to call him a blocking TE. That isn't true. He isn't very good at blocking, at least at the end of the line. Last year, he was used VERY sparingly even for that. Instead the Giants opted to being in an extra tackle to play TE in goaline situations rather than use Pascoe most of the time.
Typically we have been reluctant to throw to him in any situation down the field. Most of his receptions were on dumpoffs and screens of less than 5 yards. He isn't a very good receiver and last year his 4 receptions emphasize this point.
So lets not turn him into something he isn't. The fact is he has made the team for 1 reason, he can be a backup FB, that is all. I say this because his contributions as a TE were negligible.
I challenge anyone to go through last years active roster and find a player who contributed less than Bear Pascoe. It isn't easy. I think it is safe to say the Giants would like to at least try to get more out of every spot on that 53 man roster and if you doing a roster analysis, you have to at least look at that 3rd TE spot and say "couldn't we get more out of that guy than 4 receptions and very little blocking for an entire year?"

I don't usually share my gringo traditions here but I realize that just as I'm fascinated by and curious about Latin American traditions, maybe there are people from other parts of the world reading this who might be just as fascinated by and curious about the traditions we have here in the United States. As I mentioned before, carving a jack-o-lantern and roasting pumpkin seeds were two of the very first traditions I shared with Carlos, so now I'm going to share it with you. (Besides, roasted pumpkin seeds are popular in parts of Latin America too!)
Directions and step-by-step photos below!
How to Make: Jack-o-Lanterns & Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
1. Choose a side of your pumpkin to work on. I always choose the side that has the least amount of blemishes or scratches, but if you're going for a different look, maybe that would add some character. Once you've decided which side you like best, use a marker to draw a face. Remember that you'll be carving these shapes out with a knife, so the more complicated the shapes, (especially round shapes or tiny details), the more difficult it will be. (Note: Don't carve your pumpkin more than a few days before Halloween or it will start to rot.)
2. Draw a circle at least an inch out from the stem around the top of the pumpkin. Cut along the line at the top and then gently pull the stem to open the pumpkin. Use a knife to cut the gunk and strings hanging off the top so it's clean and flat.
3. Reach inside the pumpkin and pull out the "guts." (Most little kids find this disgusting but fun.)
4. The gooey, stringy stuff can be discarded, but separate the seeds out into a bowl as you go. At some point you will need to use a spoon to scrape the inside nice and clean.
5. Use a sharp knife to carefully carve out the face you drew on the outside of the pumpkin. Little kids will need lots of help and should be supervised at all times.
6. Admire what a good job you've done. Your jack-o-lantern is finished and ready for the final touch, but first, let's roast pumpkin seeds.
7. Put the pumpkin seeds in a colander and rinse with water for a couple minutes, using your hands to mix them around. Leave in the colander to drip dry about 20 minutes.
8. Cover a baking sheet in aluminum foil. Spread the pumpkin seeds out on the ungreased baking sheet. Put into the oven at no more than 200 F. Right now we're not roasting the pumpkin seeds, just drying them out. Check the pumpkin seeds every 10 minutes. They should be dry in 20 – 30 minutes or less. Pumpkin seeds should still be white when you remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for a couple minutes until they're safe to handle with your hands.
9. Use your hands to mix the pumpkin seeds around and get them unstuck from the aluminum foil. Dribble a little oil on the seeds, (some people use butter – I spray them generously with cooking spray), and then sprinkle with salt. Mix around with your hands, making sure all seeds are covered in oil and salt. Bake in oven at 350 F until slightly browned. Allow to cool and then serve or store for eating.
10. Back to your jack-o-lantern! On Halloween night, place a lit candle inside your jack-o-lantern (battery operated "candles" are best so you don't have to worry about a fire hazard), and then put the top back on. Set on your doorstep out of the way of trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!

City considers change to liquor license ordinance
Mike Stone of Crosswoods Golf Course approached the Crosslake City Council on Monday night, April 8, asking the council to reconsider its liquor license laws.
Currently Crosswoods can't obtain a liquor license because of the city's ordinance, which requires a business to be open 48 weeks a year in order to obtain the license.
He asked that the council consider changing the ordinance or granting a variance to golf courses.
Other golf courses in the area offer liquor to their customers, and Stone expressed concern over continuing to be competitive. He said his is perhaps the only golf course in the Brainerd lakes area without a liquor license.
Council member Steve Roe expressed concern over businesses closing in the winter, were the 48-week restriction lifted. He argued the city may no longer be a winter draw if businesses close.
"I think that has a much further-reaching impact than just granting an exception to a very responsible organization," Roe said.
John Moengen disagreed.
"If we're in a tough economy, and a business has to close for 30 days in the winter, I don't want to hold them hostage so they have to stay open just because of the liquor license. Maybe we want them to have the ability to close," Moengen said.
"If it was truly a boon for the state," Stone said of the 48-week minimum, "you would think other cities would have done that."
He said other area cities don't have the same 48-week restriction.
The council tabled the matter for further research, and will readdress it at 7 p.m. Monday, April 22.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by webz, Jul 2, 2012.
I bet the Raps fans still celebrate the pick of that SG over Dre.
What I don't understand is why you don't start Drum if not solely as a business decision. The Pistons fans are dying to see some excitement, and Drum's game brings just that with his above the rim playing. When you only have a couple thousand hundred fans in the stands, you better be trying to put the best or at least the most entertaining product on the floor. It's obvious the fans want to see this kid. Give the people what they want, and hell, they may actually pay money to see the team. God forbid if you actually play the kid because he's our best option. I don't care what Frank's philosophy is on Drum. He is wrong. He is shooting himself in the foot by not playing a kid who can make him look like a good coach. Don't get me started on him burying English on the end of the bench (or sending him to the Pissed-off Ants). We need defense, and yet Frank benches our best perimeter and interior defenders. #stooooopid
How will they ever get better if they dont" earn their minutes"? And we all know that the best way to earn your minutes is to play behind players that are worse than you are and watch them make mistakes and repeatedly get worked over by the opposition. This is a valueable training tool. I just hope everyone can see that drum is ready and english is a better option than the players ahead of them already, so when Larry is finally forced to make the move and play/start them he cant talk about how they earned their minutes and he is a great coach for brining them along slowly. Hes a horrible coach for brining them along at a snails pace when they are ready to assume the positiopns they should already be in.
I think it is a mistake to lump Drummond and Kenny English into the same pool. We weaken our argument for Drummond when we do that. Drummond has it all. Forget about what he will or might be. He is one of the, if not the, best players the Pistons have now. Sadly I'm afraid this is more a reflection on the Pistons organization then it is just Flip Frank the failing coach who should be fired immediately. (And at this point Frank would appear to be more in command if he paced the sidelines wearing a dunce cap.)
Next the Pistons are only going to sell Charlie G and Austin Daye jerseys from The Palace Pro Shop.
Now I can't get that image out of my head!
You're reading my mind. When did English become our "best perimeter defender"? With English, it's all potential. With Drummond, it's actual results and a lot of potential.
I never once said english was our best perimeter defender, what I said is that he is better on both ends than maggette and the team would be in a better position all around if he were to get maggettes minutes
Maybe Larry Frank finds Maggette more visually stimulating than English?
Maggette provides the occasional kobe assist, that's about it.
Dre living in the paint this year, to state the obvious. Shooting details: Dunks: 31-34 Point blank: 31-57 (layups, put backs, etc) Tip ins: 7-12 Hooks: 0-3 J's in the paint: 3-12 J's out of paint: 2-8 (including a desperation 3 point make) So 69 of his 74 makes have been 0-1' shots (shooting .670 on those) Outside of 1', he is 5-23 (shooting .217 on those).
One last quick stat: So far in his NBA career, Drummond is averaging less minutes per game than Chucky Atkins did in his 40 games with the 2004 Pistons.
A steady hand on the tiller, fo sho.
Here's the thing: What Frank is doing to bring Drummond along IS WORKING. All the other "play him more" "start him right now" demands are just speculative ideas. In the meantime, consider: * He spends a few hours before each game working on low post moves with Rogers, and watching tape of his opponent. If he were playing 30 to 35 minutes every game, he wouldn't be able to be on the practice court as much. * His PER is outstanding and climbing. * He is raw offensively. When you play him fewer minutes right now, he can return to the bench after a raw moment - get instant feedback coaching - gather himself, and come back effectively. * Whatever you think about other ways to bring him along, it is the truth that his confidence is becoming stronger and stronger; exactly the pathway of progress you'd want to see him having. * He plays when his habits and play on the court merit it, so we're instilling energy as a core component of this guy as a player. That's huge. He is rewarded when he does the right stuff, and pulled when he doesn't. He's staying hungry. * There is an orderly transition taking place here. And his teammates love his attitude. * We are not a team going anywhere this season, except for developing our 3 core players, and determining who the keepers are. Singler, Stuckey, and to be determined: English, JJ, Middleton, Slava, Maxiell, Daye, C.V. * We have one more season to add significant players to our roster, who will be joining a team which has several rising stars. We might as well get a few more ping pong balls. * This really is working for him - which was my first point above.
But what about MY needs???? Good post.
The teammate angle is a good point. When Dre takes over the starting job, he should have the full support from his teammates because he made it obvious that he is the most effective player and didn't get it handed to him first. For a 19 year old, knowing that the rest of the team is behind you because of your actual performance probably goes a long way toward building your confidence. The next step is finding the trigger to turn him into the incredible hulk. From a business standpoint, it probably would have benefited the organization to run this charade more quickly to get some more W's and to get more people to pay money to come see a new and exciting player. Getting 18,000 fans instead of 12,000 is probably a drop in the bucket though.
great post and solid speculations, I say solid speculations because you are speculating that he would have a drop in confidence, and you are speculating that he wouldnt be getting all of the above from actual time in game experience, I cant argue the opposite since it is all speculation though. Like Ive said before Lawrence Frank is in a perfect position to spin his developement whichever way he wants though...He can continue slowly increasing Dres minutes and as dre keeps performing well he can say his slow approach is what helped Dre get to that point, or he can increase dres minutes and as soon as dre has a bad game he can say" see I told ya he wasnt ready for big minutes" We've all watched enough basketball to know there will be times the young fella struggles mightly, and that wont stop even when hes in his 12th year. I just get a kick out of people saying youngsters need to come along slowly. Then we all see rookies come in, play huge minutes and do well from the first game. ALL players develope at different rates, and all players will develope at their own rates regardless of coach involvement. Sometimes it takes kids a little longer to grasp the concepts. I for one have never waned in my idea that Dre is ready now for what we need which is defense and rebounding.
Here are Drummond's monthly stats (skipping October since that was just one game): Month/MPG/FG%/RPG/APG/SPG/BPG/PPG Nov/17.3/.557/6.2/0.4/0.8/1.2/6.3 Dec/20.9/.630/7.1/0.6/0.8/1.8/7.3 The only stat that didn't improve was his steals and his FT (.400 for both months). So long as this trend continues, I won't complain (as much).
So he should be like 15/15/1/2/3 by the end of the year?
Frank is doing it backwards in my opinion. You play your best and most talented players to begin with who give you the best chance to win. If they start dogging it or not playing effectively then that's why you have hungry guys with less talent who always work hard ON THE BENCH waiting to go! Getting dragged back to bench is more of life lesson IMO. Everyone knows and recognises Drummond has more talent and is the future. Pretending he isn't is just counter-productive. If you want to make an example of someone not earning their minutes I'd be pointing fingers at Maggette, Prince, CV, et al...

ISLAMORADA -- The new garbage collection contract that the village must enter into before the end of September should use financial incentives and penalties to encourage residences to recycle and make recycling mandatory for businesses.
Those are the among the suggestions of the ad-hoc solid waste committee empaneled by the Village Council this winter to weigh in on the town's garbage services before the contract procurement process gets under way.
"I think we have to begin to consider the environment in a serious way," said former Councilman Don Achenberg, who sits on the committee. "We have to do more than pay lip service to what needs to be done."
At present, Advanced Disposal Systems, which acquired the former village garbage contractor Veolia in November, provides garbage, recycling and solid waste collection in Islamorada under a contract that costs the village roughly $3.1 million annually.
The Village Council has said it plans to put the contract out for bid before it expires on Sept. 30, though council members could also choose to negotiate an extension with Advanced Disposal.
In its nine-page report, which is to be submitted to the council by Feb. 15, the ad-hoc committee focused most of its attention on recycling. The state is mandating recycling rates of 75 percent by 2020, but with just seven years to make that happen, the village has a recycling rate that hovers in the low teens, according to the committee.
This year, village residences paid a garbage assessment of $388. For that fee, residences receive pick-ups of an unlimited amount of garbage twice per week and one pick-up per week of an unlimited amount of recycling. Residences also receive yard waste and on-call bulk pick-up service.
The committee suggests that in the village's next solid waste contract garbage collection be limited to 96 gallons twice per week, with an additional fee for larger quantities. After three years, the committee suggests, the penalty-free cap should be reduced to 64 gallons twice per week. Meanwhile, residences would face no extra fees no matter how much recycling they put out for the weekly pick-up.
To accomplish this change, the solid waste committee suggests that the village switch to an automated pick-up system, in which garbage trucks are equipped with a robotic arm that gathers trash bins. Each village residence would get one 96-gallon bin for garbage and as many 64-gallon recycle bins as requested. Residences that need additional garbage bins would be charged an extra annual fee.
Beginning in 2016, the recycle bins and the garbage bins would be relabeled with the larger containers becoming the recycle bin. The extra fee would apply for those who need extra 64-gallon garbage bins.
The committee report doesn't suggest how much the penalty should be for residences that must obtain extra garbage bins. But it does take a stab at some of the figures related to its recommendation.
Switching over to the standardized bins would cost approximately $80 per container, the report says. Robotic arms would cost $58,000 per truck, or a total of approximately $350,000 for the fleet.
On the flip side, said committee Chairman Dave Boerner, the new system, by increasing the village recycling rate, would also bring sizeable savings. In addition, automating the trucks would allow them to be operated by one person rather than three, also leading to savings.
The report also states that in order for a contractor to justify investing in the new trash and recycle bins, they might need more than the five-year contract term the village is currently operating under with Advanced Disposal. Ultimately, the cost of the proposed program will become clear during the bid process or contract negotiations, Boerner said.
The ad-hoc committee didn't just limit its recycling proposals to residences. In fact, its proposals aimed at making more businesses recycle that could generate the most discussion.
The committee is recommending the imposition of a mandatory commercial recycling program modeled after one that has been in effect in southwest Florida's Lee County since 2008. Under the program, businesses would be required to recycle all eligible materials or pay an opt-out fee of $100 to $500 per month.
Businesses that don't opt out would be required to maintain records and receipts of their disposal bills for evidence of compliance. Fees from the opt-out businesses, along with a small portion of the franchise fee paid by the village garbage contractor, would be used to hire an employee to monitor the compliance program. A proposed licensing fee for independent recyclers operating in the village could also help fund the position.
Though the commercial program would involve more government regulation, Achenberg said it is necessary.
"I think it is time that every community take a more responsible stand on recycling and it is time for Islamorada do that," he said.
The committee will make a formal verbal presentation on the proposals at the Feb. 28 Village Council meeting. The report is slated to be available on the village website on Feb. 15, Boerner said.

Robert Plant, Steve Bull and Jez Moxey pledge their support
Robert Plant and Steve Bull have pledged their support to Jody Craddock's testimonial by agreeing to play a part in the special half time penalty shootout at the game on Bank Holiday Monday (2pm).
Robert has already made a substantial donation to the testimonial by winning an auction which will see his son Logan take part in the game between a Wolves XI and a Sunderland XI.
But we also wanted to see if Robert would take part in the special half time shootout which he agreed to – providing Jez Moxey was in goal!
Well we couldn't turn down a Club Vice-President, so we've managed to rope Jez in to between the sticks just as he did for Matt Murray's testimonial.
And another Wolves Vice-President Bully has agreed to referee, and we don't think he's going to stand for any messing!
The rest of the half time penalty shootout will see three lucky ticketholders get the chance to take three penalties apiece at former Wolves keeper Matt Murray.
Supporters who have already pre-purchased tickets for the game between a Wolves XI and Sunderland XI stand a chance of being among those three if they tweet a photo with their match tickets to the official testimonial twitter account – www.twitter.com/jc6testimonial
The deadline for entries has now been extended to 12 noon on Friday, May 2nd, after which the three lucky winners to join in the fun will be randomly selected and announced.
Plans are continuing for the big game, with the Wolves team to be managed by Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor and featuring not only Jody and Matt but many more past and present favourites including Carl Ikeme, Richard Stearman, Matt Jarvis and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
The Sunderland side will include not only former Wolves men too such as Alex Rae and Micky Gray but the legendary strike-force of Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips, who announced his retirement yesterday. Surely Mr Phillips hasn't got one more goal against Wolves in his locker?
As with all testimonials there are also a few star guests thrown in for good measure.
Wolves' Speedway World Champion Tai Woffinden is to make a cameo appearance, as are Hollyoaks pair Ayden Callaghan and Charlie Wernham.
And Soccer AM presenter Max Rushden is set to don the famous gold and black, with Sky Sports presenter David Jones on the opposition.
But another part of what will hopefully be a special day is that the current League One title-winning Wolves team, led by Head Coach Kenny Jackett and skipper Samuel Ricketts, will be in attendance.
As will the League One trophy, with fans who have purchased testimonial game tickets able to take a picture with the silverware in the morning prior to the game (click here for details). This opportunity subject to availability, is free of charge but supporters will need to take their own photographs.
Tickets are now available online for Jody's game via all sales methods – online, in person from the Ticket Office or from the Ticketline on 0871 222 1877.
The price for adults is £10, £5 concessions or £20 for a family ticket of two adults and two children.
Wolves' main sponsor Whathouse have also kindly donated some signed first team shirts and footballs and one of those each will also be given to a lucky ticket holder on the day.
A proportion of the proceeds from the Testimonial Year will go to Birmingham Children's Hospital, where Jody's youngest son Toby continues to receive treatment for leukaemia (Click here to view video)
We look forward to welcoming as many Wolves and Sunderland fans as possible to Molineux next Monday.

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Second Annual Campbell Law Fall Fest was presented by the Campbell Law Fine Arts Society on October 17. Musical entertainment was provided by Campbell Law student and country-music artist Jamie Tate and her band. Students, faculty, and staff also enjoyed a barbecue lunch, raffles, recreational games, and a silent auction.
Tate is a third-year law student pursuing a country music career. Her patriotic hit, "I'll Give My All," features the Fort Bragg 82nd Airborne All-American Chorus. A portion of the song proceeds are donated to veteran and soldier causes. In July, she performed at the Heroes, Hearts, and Hardhats Music Festival in Fayetteville, NC, to raise building fund monies for a local family as part of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition television program. Upon graduating from Campbell Law, Tate will relocate to Nashville.
Established in 2009, the Campbell Law Fine Arts Society provides law students an expressive voice to share artistic interests, abilities, opinions, and beliefs, whether in response to law, current events, or simply arising from the students' own backgrounds. The Society was on founded on the premise that the law and the arts are both expressions of universal humanity, and that there are powerful opportunities for the two expressions to merge into poignant experiences that effect change.
Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. The School has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,200 alumni, including 2,200 who reside and work in North Carolina. For 25 years, Campbell Law's record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam has been unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school. In September 2009, Campbell Law relocated to a state-of-the-art building in downtown Raleigh. For more information, visit http://law.campbell.edu.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Americas' started by jackc1027, Jan 2, 2013.
Black Card membership in Planet Fitness will give you free access to any gym/shower they have
Let me know what ya think..
I'm having this plan for 2015 ..
$15k budget
6 months to ride it.
??? Thoughts. Advice ?...
You seem to have based your trip riding on Interstates between large cities. Is this what you want to see?
On a motorcycle, I'd want to spend as much time on twisty back roads with amazing scenery, and less time sitting in big city congestion. (ie. why isn't Deals Gap on your map?) But to each their own.
We've done a cross-US trip before and we based it around the US National Parks and Forests. Great roads, amazing scenery and easy access to camping.
Budget looks great for camping & groceries, does it include tires/oil change? Might be a bit tight for moteling and restaurants.
I think someone once said "the interstate system is the best way to get somewhere and not see anything" or something like that
Yes and no.
This is just a pre map of the route. But I'm planning more research in each individual states to find nice scenery ride and must see place. The states are just basics pin points of the route I want to head towards. .
I'm rounding it up to maybe a total of 15k miles total.
Added all the expense and came to around $13k
That's with gas,food,3 sets of tires,5 oil chanfe. With about $1k reserve for misc broken bike parts (incase)
And trying to camp at the most . Hoping its no more than $20 a night. Or hopefully there are free space.
This is just the planning stage. I just did this quick map so I can get an average mile total idea of what I'll be working with. And it doesn't look so bad.
Ie... See Vegas, the salt flats, the Grand Canyon, , mt Rushmore , Florida beaches.
Ps... How's is your adventure going ?
You had it.
"Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything." Charles Kuralt.
That being said, money IS something you will need. I did a 27,000 mile trip in just over four months back in 2009, and I figure I spent $1500/month. In ideal situations, yes you can do it a lot cheaper, but when you're on the road for long periods of time shit WILL come up. Something will break, you'll lose something critical and need to replace it, bike will need maintenance, etc.
This total cost included gas, a set of tires, a semi-major repair (new crankcase cover, never saw the rock that punch a hole in it), about 20-30 hotel rooms and paid campsites ranging from $9/night to $100/night. I also lost and had to buy a new set of cold weather gloves ($150) and bought a new pair of riding pants ($200).
90% of my meals were cooked super-cheaply on a camp stove (those $0.89 instant pasta packets are great!), I became an expert at stealth camping anywhere, and it helps that my bike was a shaft drive so there were no chain/sprockets to worry about replacing.
Stay the hell off interstates.
And unless you have friends or family you want to see there, I'd advise you to skip Florida. It's pancake-flat and crowded as shit, and quite expensive.
Instead, spend more time in the Appalachian Mountains. Ride the Blue Ridge Parkway, check out the Tail of the Dragon, and FOR FUCKS SAKE go to the Barber Motorsport Museum in Birmingham, Alabama.
Like most folk, you know you can't go everywhere in the lower 48. Those that do know that the only Great Riding between the Rockies and Appalachia is the Ozark Mtns.
I gotta call BS, mr Kurault don't know how to open his eyes
While I don't advocate riding exclusively on interstates, they are the best way to avoid cities, they also get you across large expanses of places you've been before to get to new places to explore
and many places, the surface roads are so forested in, ya can't see anything but trees, interstates will get you on to high open ridges with better views
and, if you've seen one cornfield, you've seen them all
yess!!! great advice all. i will consider and do a little more research
deff going to do it!
I can't speak to the cost, but I can speak to doing what you want while you have the freedom and ability. In 1993, I wanted to take a crack at racing mountain bikes professionally, so I headed west got after it. I left home with my tools in the trunk, bikes on a bike rack, and $500.00 cash in my pocket. Along the way, I found a job, a wife, and a life. I'm still here, and every day when I wake up and see mountains out my window, I feel like I'm on vacation. Now with Facebook, I've learned what became of the less adventurous people I left behind. You don't want to be one of those people.
Great words CJ !
This is true. I want to do all this. Being young, not married,no kids. Nothing to worried about.
I mean I can wait till I'm retired.... But then it'll be a whole different style...
hey amigo, I have a spread sheet that can help you calculate the amount of money you need, i just need your email to send it.
let me know if you are interested.
OK now i read it all and send you the spread sheet. I saw you map and coming from the north please take 101 and hwy 1, hwy 1 is one of the best roads in the US (Lonely Planet named it #1), After Sacramento I-5 is good for making miles and that is it.
I am trying to figure out hot to put in the trip of my life, I am looking at a 10K mile trip (up your state) a 8K mile to Panama, a 6 around my country or just a smaller 2 k one around Baja... the one I take will depend on the time I have and to some extend the money, but with a job, family and a house to pay I just can't take a year off, but never stop dreaming!!
So what I want to say is maybe all 50 states are not worth your time (at this time) and more compact rout could be a lot cooler!
You go!! regardless of the bike (what do you have?) and the destination... you will know how much you can and will.
For the OP it in not only about how much you will spend but also how much you can earn.
Be sure that you can make enough money while working to pay for your living as well as save
some $$$ or you will never travel too far.Like others have stated, if you have needed skills work
times will be short leaving more time and money to travel.
This part here really miss's the good stuff.
The Ozark's in Mo. and Ar. are good ,but your line is a transit N to S. through them. Birmingham to Atlanta, what are you going to see? Barber's outside of Birmingham is worth it , but why go to Atlanta ?
Anyway the good riding is North Ga.,Eastern Tn. ,Western N.C. Western Va., West Virginia and Eastern and Central Ky. Millions of cruves,hills and valleys.
It's your trip ,enjoy the good parts.
If you pass through Ky. and need some work or a place to stay, message me I have both. I raise tobacco and cattle and the fun never ends.Good riding too.
Awesome! I really appreciate the offer. I will 100% be taking you up on this if (when) I pull the trigger on this. I am just trying to get some type of financial system down.
I did want to say thanks to everyone who responded in this thread. The general consensus seems to be to just go for it, and figure it out own the road (quite literally). I will keep this thread updated when I make my decision to go.


text: Good morning all! Quite a dreary one here in Louisiana... On to my questions. I've always enjoyed to look of a simple roof rack. Nothing that is really functional, mainly just 2 parallel roof rails for aesthetic reasons. Has anyone found any that look decent? I like the ones on the 2011 crew cab Silverado. I'm not too sure about the fit on my extended cab. Here's a picture of the ones I'm partial to. I think it would fit on an extended cab truck just fine. I'm not too sure about the look though... GM Part# 19166253 btw. ---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ---------- While browsing a Duramax forum I found this picture. Seeing it from the side really reinforces my opinion in it fitting my extended cab. And just to clear it up, I'm just interested in the part that attaches to the truck. I'm not interested in the cross bars.


text: I used a q-tip also with the Anise and Vanilla. I used the Vanilla because I had read somewhere on the forum that some one's grandad, (Ibelieve), Used Vanilla. I didnt think it would hurt until I got the lemongrass oil in. Our local grocery store only had imitation oils, so I didnt even bother. I live so far out that the grocery store is about 20 miles away and the nearest convienence store is an old country store about 15 miles away and closes at noon on Saturdays and is only open during hunting season. There isnt anybody I know that has bees near me. I have had people ask me about the hives when they come to buy quail and eggs though. The first thing I get is, "why would you want bees?". The next is, "let us know when you have honey".
