Oct 19, 2013 - By Randy Tucker, Staff WriterIt was a gunfight for a while Friday night in Basin as Wind River and Riverside combined for nine touchdown passes. The Cougars played well early, but Riverside came out on top of the high-scoring affair 52-26. The win leaves Riverside's destiny in its own hands with a final regular-season win over rival Burlington sending Riverside to Southeast Goshen in the opening round of the playoffs.
One more game
Wind River has a single game remaining at second-place Rocky Mountain in Cowley next Friday night.
Wind River found the end zone early in the first after an interception, with quarterback Robert Buline hitting his first touchdown on a 45-yard strike to Jordan Martin.
Buline combined with Clayton Reinick a few minutes later on a 28-yard scoring pass and run.
Riverside quarterback Royce Mercer was up to the challenge as well, hitting Ethan Sherburne on a 23-yard pass, then finding Tucker McKim from the same distance to knot the game at 12 after one period.
Riverside took the lead on a 33-yard pass and catch from Mercer to Sherburne, but the Cougars answered on an 8-yard pass from Buline to Kristopher Justice.
32 straight for Riverside
The Cougars stunned the Rebels early, but Riverside recovered to score 32 straight after that.
"Give them credit," Riverside head coach Sam Buck said. "They came out ready to play and hit us in the mouth."
Riverside took the lead for good on an 80-yard kickoff return by McKim and added a 20-yard pass from Mercer to Ryan Vigil to lead 34-20 at intermission.
A third pass from Mercer to Sherburne and a safety when the ball sailed out of the back of the end zone on a Cougar punt attempt put the Rebels up 44-20 after three.
McKim broke the aerial assault with the game's only rushing touchdown early in the fourth on a 50-yard run, and the Cougars final score came on an 28-yard pass from Buline to Reinick.

Alright! Let's take a look at best WordPress insurance agency themes for 2017. If you arrived here from Google, our best guess is that you're a developer building a website for an insurance company client. Well, we hope you find what you're looking for on this list. (You probably will.)
All themes in this showcase were developed with either insurance agencies or financial consulting companies in mind. They mostly share a familiar, finance-oriented design aesthetic, and so we based our selections primarily on the quality of that design. There are no must-have features (beyond current tech requirements, like responsiveness), but we think a few custom page templates, and perhaps a quote form, might be worth having. Read More

- Boat Review and Purchase Forum (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/)
- - Opinions on Helms 25 (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/34857-opinions-helms-25-a.html)
Opinions on Helms 25
I have an opportunity to buy a Helms 25 with trailer for $900 (or less). I'm basically looking for something that I can fix up over the next year and turn into a decent first boat and weekend getaway.
Here's what I know about the Helms 25 from the owner:
"We have a 25 foot Helms sailboat with extra large cockpit and cabin. It has a drop keel, and double axle trailer. It has a mainsail, jib, genoa, and spinnaker. Some sails need some patching. Interior cushions are ok, but old. Boat is in very serviceable shape, but needs some work. We would like $900 for the boat."
Any opinions on Helms sailboats or this boat in particular?
Here's a quick update on the boat description/condition after having checked it out this afternoon:
Sails: The storm jib appears to be in good shape. The spinnaker, mainsail and genoa all have 1 or more golfball size holes (probably from a rodent chewing).
The electrical system in the boat appears to be in very poor condition and will need to be replaced.
The cushions all need to be replaced.
The double axel trailer looks a little rough. I'm concerned about the wheel bearings.
The good: The hull and deck appear to be in good shape.
Hmmm... low-cost or free boats are often very expensive propositions... that's why they're low-cost or free in the first place.
It can often cost more to bring the low-cost or free boat up to sailing condition than it would to have bought one that was in decent shape to begin with. The sails for a boat that size will be at least $1000 for new sails—assuming you want all three. The electrical system can add up to a lot of money fairly quickly, especially given the recent increases in the price of copper and wire in general, even if you do the work yourself. The cushions and upholstery aren't exactly cheap either.
I nearly purchased a helms 27 a year ago, and tried to research them without much success. What I did learn, however, is that the maker, Helms, wanted to make a "better Catalina." In my opinion, he didn't succeed, but I think they are well regarded for what they are. The H27 I saw was going for $12,000, and was in great shape. Minor osmosis, new sails, new running and standing rigging. Having recently purchased a boat (which I love), I'd definitely have it surveyed by someone who knows what they're doing, and who has no conflicts of interest. One thing I've learned over the past year is that some boats are actually worth less than $0. What I mean is that over time you'll see that it's a screwed up mess, and that you want something else. The problem: You won't be able to get rid of it because no one wants to buy it. Just have it surveyed, even if it costs you a third of what the boat costs.
Hey, I like a good deal as much as the next guy, and $900 is pretty cheap for a boat on trailer, but I gotta go with the flow and say don't do it. Here's a realistic breakdown of the minimum requirements just to get it in the water, (if you go as cheap as possible):
$150 used jib
$300 used main (if you can find a used one)
$500 used outboard (I assume it has no motor?)
$150 new lines (sheets, dock, Halyards)
$100 Battery
$75 Charger
$150 Wire and parts to get lights working
$100 Coast Guard required safety gear (pfd's , horn, vhf, flare, etc)
$125 Anchor and ancillaries
$100 Wheel bearings
$100 Sales tax on boat
$100 Boat registration
$50 Trailer Registration
$100 Insurance
$900 Purchase price
I'm sure there's lots more, but I'm already up to almost $3000. You do the math.
Thanks for the replies (and keep 'em coming!).
I agree with this statement: "There's nothing more expensive than a cheap boat".
However, my current budget will only allow a small purchase and lots of sweat equity. It's either buy now and sail a bit by next summer or wait 2+ more years to save up.
There must be someone out there who is of the opinion that "Hey, it's less $1000. Go for it!" I can always eject (sell it/dump it) if I find it's going to cost too much. But I honestly think I can get it in seaworthy for not much money. That probably means I'll be patching the old sails and living without cushions for a while, but I'll be sailing and learning.
I dont think anybody is going to encourage you to do this. You can find better boats for the same money if you look around a bit. That boat is lightly built to put it politely and has problems because of the balsa core in the deck just for a start. You will spend much more then the boat is worth and have a so so boat after you are done. To put the same time and money into a boat that has lasting value so you can recover some of your investment is a better choice.
Now having said that if you want to do this and dont care about the money then go for and have fun. After all when you spend money for a vacation its money spent with no return and this will be the same thing. You will spend lots of money and just have memories afterwards.
All the best,
Robert Gainer
Edit. I was wrong and Knotaloud is brave enough to recommend the project. I wonder if he will feel bad after this turns out to be a mistake. VBG
Thanks again for the replies! I know the wise the decision is to pass on the boat. But there's also a part of me that wants the challenge and enjoyment of cleaning up and old run down boat. I'll keep you posted on the decision.
Good luck if you get it... however, I still feel that getting a different boat would probably be the less expensive solution in the long run.

5 Reasons I'm Not Celebrating My Universal Child Care Benefit Deposit
On Monday, I received a handsome deposit from the federal government, a retroactive "childcare" benefit for my preschooler and two school-aged kids.
The extra cash in the middle of a season of summer camps and costly family trips is nice. But rather than celebrating, I'm frustrated by the poor policy behind this bonus.
The Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) is a taxable benefit that has been provided to the parents of children under the age of six since 2006. On July 20, the existing benefit was increased from $100/month to $160. And now, new benefits of up to $60/month were added for every child between the ages of 6-17.
So what's the problem? Here are five:
- Income support (which is what the UCCB is) is not the same thing as childcare. Currently there are only enough regulated childcare spaces in Canada for 20 per cent of young children -- though 70 per cent of the mothers of these children work. Money sent directly to individual families doesn't change this.
- Even with the increase, the UCCB does little to support "child care choices" (as it claims to do.) This small deposit doesn't offset lost income for those parents who stay at home. Nor does it come close to meaningfully supplementing childcare costs, which begin at 900/month for full-time care for one child.
- A good portion of this benefit will be taxed back come income tax time, or be offset by other (less widely publicized) changes to child and family benefits, such as the elimination of the child tax credit.
- The original UCCB has diverted significant resources away from low-income families to upper-income families, and recent changes accentuate this redistribution further.
- And finally, this change, at this time, feels like a blatant attempt to buy my vote.
Citizens for Public Justice is the co-lead of Dignity for All: the campaign for a poverty-free Canada. Together, with our partners at Canada Without Poverty, and the thousands of Canadians, like me, who support Dignity for All, we are calling for a national anti-poverty plan for Canada that includes universal childcare and appropriate income supports for families. (This plan also addresses housing, health, food, and jobs.)
Quality, universal childcare is good for kids and it's good for families. It is also good for the economy and the tax base as gainfully employed parents spend their pay cheques and pay taxes. And, access to affordable childcare helps reduce poverty and inequality, meaning that it's good for society.
Low-income families also need additional income supports. But they have to be progressive and focused on both poverty prevention and eradication -- meaning that those most in need receive the most money. That's why we're proposing that the maximum National Child Benefit be increased to $5,600.
Significant funding for both of these family policies could be made available by redirecting resources currently provided to income support programs that do not sufficiently benefit low-income families with children, including the Universal Child Care Benefit.
Like all parents, I want what's best for my kids. And, it is clear to me that a boost in the UCCB isn't the best. Far from it.
Studies have shown that more equal societies experience higher levels of well-being across the income spectrum. They experience more social cohesion, better health outcomes, stronger communities, lower incidents of crime, and higher levels of personal safety.
So, might my family enjoy extra perks as a result of this "childcare" bonus? Sure. But what I'd rather see are investments in the well-being of the most marginalized.
Ultimately, that would mean that all Canadian children could grow up in a healthy, caring society.

................. well, ....................... back in the day, at school it was, in a games lesson in the gym. A boy was really pissiong me off so I chased him, kicked him in the thigh and punched him in the head.
For years I've felt bad about it. You know, the guilt thing ........................ well. The Daily Telegraph has vindicated me because the boy I kicked and punched became a Tory MP and has decided not to stand at the next election because of his "wive's ill-health" nothiong to do with the dubious expensis then Chris ?
Is this the Butterfly Effect?
Maybe because of your actions, he may have thought that the world will never to him any favours so he may as well take all he can get. He may even have switched other MP's onto it too. So you're right to feel guilty - the curent state of affairs is all your fault.
Either that or he was always a snidy little toe rag.
You're probably right.
Now then, when MPs stand down, do they still get the 6-12 months pay off that they would get if they lose their seat?

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In March, the House of Representatives voted to allow the commonwealth of Puerto Rico to hold a referendum on statehood. Although the Senate is expected to sit on the idea indefinitely, advocates of D.C. statehood are not pleased. It was only five years ago, after all, that a supposedly more sympathetic Democratic Congress squashed statehood for our capital city in an embarrassingly lopsided 277-153 vote.
To some, the tacit approval of Puerto Rican statehood is especially galling in light of D.C.'s more statelike behavior. One of the main differences: Our amigos in the Indies are curently exempt from federal taxes; statehood would mean more money in federal coffers. But a brief glance at some of the other disparities between the two might explain both why Puerto Rico would make a better state than D.C. and why the Latino-courting GOP might prefer it.

Section 9: Pavement Design ReportsAnchor: #i1010527
Projects Requiring Pavement Design and Pavement Design Reports
A pavement design and a pavement design report are required for the following projects that are over 500 ft long:
- Anchor: #COFUTASE
- new location projects (flexible and rigid) Anchor: #GMWODMMR
- reconstruction projects (flexible and rigid) Anchor: #IPIXJJEL
- rehabilitation (3R) projects (flexible and rigid) Anchor: #TIUGQARR
- hydraulic cement concrete (rigid) unbonded overlays of existing pavements
Tie-ins, such as bridge approaches, do not require pavement designs when following department or district proven standards. A new design is not necessary. Previously approved design can be used if through an analysis, considering traffic, environmental and subgrade conditions, the pavement design analysis yields the same thickness. However, adjustments to designs thicknesses and specific conditions, even within a project, should be considered in the design process for economic purposes.
HMA overlays, approximately 2-in. thick and less, are considered a preventative maintenance treatment; therefore, a pavement design report is not required where adequate structural capacity is documented. Considering the significant investment thin overlays represent; these treatments should be taken into account in an overall pavement preservation program. An analysis should be performed that substantiates the appropriateness of this maintenance strategy.
The pavement design for special cases will typically be based on engineering judgment, historical performance, district policy, and other guidelines (e.g., this guide, industry guidelines, and research findings). A design report may be required for documentation purposes.
The following list provides examples of special cases that require documentation of the criteria and rationale for the strategy selected for projects greater than 500 ft long:
- Anchor: #MHGYWVIW
- approaches on a bridge replacement Anchor: #GBIXXHSB
- detours Anchor: #ULHGPAYL
- pavement widening including shoulders Anchor: #CTSJCSSQ
- HMA overlays of rigid pavements. The only "rational" approach generally available to department engineers for designing a HMA overlay to an existing rigid pavement is the AASHTO Overlay procedure (automated in DARWin™). However, this process is highly subjective. Anchor: #VIDCBVWM
- bonded rigid overlays on rigid pavements Anchor: #DCIUIKNM
- thin whitetopping of flexible pavements.
For design categories not covered above, contact the district pavement engineer for guidance about recommended design procedures and documentation requirements.Anchor: #i1010634
Pavement Design Report and Other Documentation
A pavement design report is a formal engineering document that presents all analyses, data, policies, and other considerations used to design the structural aspects of a pavement. The pavement design report should include the following:
- Anchor: #SNBADLAY
- Cover sheet showing highway designation, district, county, project CSJ, geographical limits, and signatures of persons involved in the preparation and approval. Anchor: #RETGPRNS
- Narrative discussing the overall objective, site particulars (location, facility type, soil conditions and subgrade Texas Triaxial Classification [TTC], drainage considerations), PMIS data analysis/pavement condition surveys for 3-R projects, conclusions, and recommended pavement structure. The narrative should include a discussion of the factors that significantly affect pavement performance, and a summary of laboratory tests conducted on any materials extracted from the existing structure. Anchor: #JWWFBRCC
- If the pavement structure selected is different from the structure recommended by the design procedure, a discussion of the selection process must be included in the report. Anchor: #UCOGPXMX
- Location map. Maps should be detailed enough to distinguish urban or rural project locations, and the presence of water features such as lakes, streams, etc. Anchor: #EUTCRKHI
- Soils map of the project area with a brief description of each type of soil located within the project area. Provide information pertaining to shrink/swell potential and plasticity. Anchor: #BMUDBINK
- The study of the presence of sulfate bearing compounds, organic content, and any mitigation technique selected. Anchor: #ILRKWDJQ
- Determination of PVR mitigation requirements, if any. Obtain and provide approval to use PVR mitigation techniques when roadway characteristics do not meet policy criteria (see Chapter 3, Geotechnical Investigation for Pavement Structures) Anchor: #SDRPNGHA
- Existing and proposed typical sections. For the proposed structure, clearly define the various pavement layers, thickness, and materials with specification item. For the existing structure, sections should be as detailed as possible. Proposed or existing positive drainage systems should be indicated on the typical sections. Anchor: #OXILNGHD
- The project specific factors used for selecting the pavement type. Anchor: #OKPALLIK
- TPP Traffic Data and any adjustments to the traffic data. Anchor: #FXDRIPQK
- Identification of the base grade chosen, whether shown on the typical section or in the report text. Provide approvals for use of Grade 1 base, if required (see Chapter 3, Flexible (Unbound) Base Selection, for criteria and requirements). Anchor: #KYMRHDCT
- Results of NDT to characterize the existing structural condition (including the MODULUS backcalculation summary). Anchor: #TTICWHKI
- Design input values and output.
Anchor: #PMYAINRS
- Anchor: #OWSYPQOA
- FSP-19W summary, modified Texas Triaxial check, mechanistic checks, stress analysis, etc. for flexible pavement. Anchor: #MXXBYIQA
- AASHTO (DARWin or TSLAB86) design summary for rigid pavements. Anchor: #EPWTFDGT
- Alternate pavement design, if appropriate, using past successful practices.
- Conclusion. The pavement design report will conclude with a recommended pavement design based on the data, analyses, and procedures included in the report. The information included in the report should be a synthesis of all work performed to arrive at the recommended pavement structure. Anchor: #CLKJPWKE
- Appendices.
Anchor: #PFQRKYDE
- Surface Aggregate Selection Form 2088 (Wet Weather Accident Reduction program, flexible pavements only) Anchor: #VCXSUWBB
- Additional appendices (results of borings, material lab tests, raw PMIS data, life-cycle cost analysis, drainage analysis, design exceptional approvals, etc.), as needed.
For other reporting requirements, contact the DPE for guidance.Anchor: #i1010731
Completing the Pavement Design Report
The pavement design report may be prepared by anyone with knowledge of the specific project under development and familiar with the analysis tools used. The first licensed engineer in the chain of responsibility will review and sign the report. After completion of the pavement design report development phase, please complete the report by using the following procedure:
Add the statement "This document is released for the purpose of interim review and is not intended for bidding, construction, or permitting purposes." after the engineer's license number on the approved pavement design report, in accordance with paragraph 137.33[e] of the Texas Engineering Practice Act.
Anchor: #i1010740
Pavement Design Report Review and Archive
CST-M&P archives pavement designs for the state for the purposes of forensics and knowledge-based pavement performance. Districts are asked to transmit a scanned copy of completed pavement design reports to CST-M&P (Flexible Pavement and Rigid Pavements Branches).
Archived reports can be viewed on the TxDOT intranet (site not available to internet users) at the "Plans Online" page located at http://iplans/ under the heading, "Pavement Design."

New York Stock Exchange
The New York Stock Exchange building is an iconic New York City marvel in itself, a stunning neo-classical structure boasting six massive Corinthian columns.
About the New York Stock Exchange: On May 17, 1792, twenty-four stockbrokers gathered outside 68 Wall Street under a buttonwood tree to sign an agreement that would establish the rules for buying and selling bonds and shares of companies. The Buttonwood Agreement, as it is known, is so named because the tree served as the regular meeting place for these pioneers of Wall Street. The signers of the Buttonwood Agreement drafted their first constitution on March 8th, 1817, and named their nascent organization the New York Stock & Exchange Board. In 1863, this name was shortened to its modern form, the New York Stock Exchange, which became known as the NYSE, one of the best-known financial industry brands in the world. Membership on the NYSE has been held as a valuable property since 1868. Until the NYSE went both electronic and public in April 2006, the exchange was a membership-only organization. Members could join the NYSE by purchasing existing seats, which were limited to a total of 1,366.
Merging with the already publicly-traded Archipelago electronic stock exchange, the new company was called the NYSE Group, Inc., and the seats of the NYSE translated into shares of publicly traded stock. In 2008, NYSE Euronext welcomed the historic American Stock Exchange into the world's leading equities exchange group. Originally called the "curb market" because its brokers traded outdoors in the street, the Amex has been at the forefront of the U.S. financial markets over the course of two centuries. In 2013, NYSE Euronext was acquired by IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE) to create the world's leading exchange operator. A leading global operator of financial markets and provider of innovative trading technologies, NYSE Euronext (NYX) is the holding company and the first cross-border exchange group created by the combination of NYSE Group, Inc. and Euronext N.V., on April 4, 2007. The Company's exchanges located in Europe and the United States trade equities, futures, options, fixed-income, and exchange-traded products. With approximately 8,000 listed issues (excluding European Structured Products) from more than 55 countries, NYSE Euronext's equities markets—the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Euronext, NYSE MKT, NYSE Alternext and NYSE Arca—represent one-third of the world's equities trading and the most liquidity of any global exchange group.

DIY (Multiple Airbag Faults)
Hi guys,
I am doing lots of BMW airbag work so I come all sort of crazy issues. Those issues as you may know are often due to a faulty seat occupancy sensor.
But other issues can also affect your airbag system.
Yesterday I came across a clean e46 with the following faults (Through BMW Scanner 1.4 / INPA had the same fault logged). I often use BWM Scanner for its simplicity and quick turnover diagnostic it offers, but when the faults are multiple, I usually use BMW INPA too, just to confirm.
So here you go, the actual faults. Usually when you have more than two, this is a sign something is wrong after the seat, not the seat itself.
BMW Scanner 1.4 faults
SRS 20/82 - Sensor, side airbag, left, line fault
18/C2 - Seat occupancy detector
06/20 - Belt tensioner, passenger side
BMW INPA faults
So I removed the passenger seat, connections were all very clean, nothing was cut off, the original equipment was there, including the seat occupancy sensor. I often see previous attempts of fixing airbag issues in there.
So I dig a bit more and notice the carpet is quiet wet. So I remove the carpet on the passenger side (Just lift it really) and noticed a nice puddle of water and the satellite sensor that is sitting here is all rusty. That's it, the issue has been identified. If this sensor goes belly up, you will have multiple faults on the airbag system.
See the white/green powder all over the sensor. It is dead basically.
So after finding a replacement and the carpet/car dried up, I unplugged the battery for a few minutes (Recommended when you do this before putting new parts in) plugged in the new satellite impact sensor and all the faults were gone, a part from the seat occupancy sensor itself.
No worries so I install a bypass, and now it is all good. A quick reset of the fault. Airbag light goes away.
I remove the key, turn on the car again, and that's it, the light comes up for a few seconds then goes away.
All good.
I hope this helps

Busted Knuckles - 1989 GMC Suburban
This Fullsize Family Hauler Lays Low
Whether it's the curvy '67-'72 C10, the boxy square body, or the quintessential '88-'98, Chevy trucks have become a mainstay of the 'bagged truck scene. However, while we see plenty of regular, Extended Cab, and Crew Cab Chevys, we rarely see 'bagged builds using the GM fullsize lineup's next of kin: the Suburban. For Eric Gump, a decal installer from Spokane, Washington, a 1989 GMC Suburban was the ideal vehicle for hauling his family and friends around town. Eric had built custom trucks in the past, so after picking up the 'Burban for $2,500 back in 2003, he began molding it into something that transcended the ordinary family vehicle.
Working out of his garage and driveway, Eric started by tearing down the stock Chevy suspension. To accommodate the huge drop he had planned, an 8-inch step notch was cut into the rear of the frame, while the front received a 2½-inch Z. Then, Dominator 2600 airbags were added to all four corners, in addition to 2½-inch drop spindles up front and a Suicide Doors triangulated four-link out back. The whole setup results in a full foot drop, slamming the GMC to the ground. Topping off the new stance is a set of 22-inch chrome Detata wheels wrapped in Falken rubber.
Moving on to bodywork, Eric turned to his friend "Werm" Hahn, who sculpted and smoothed the truck's sheetmetal. The fenders, hood, rain gutters, and antenna were shaved, a roll pan was added in the back, and a license plate box was frenched into the rear door for a cleaner look. Eric tells us his favorite mod so far, the vertical Cadillac taillights, were time consuming to install. However, they subtly clean up the rear end and help this boxy 'Burban look sleeker. Finally, the whole setup was sprayed in PPG DP-90 matte-black primer, giving it a stealthy new look.
Inside the GMC, Eric kept it simple, adding a Kenwood stereo, Sony speakers, and Grant steering wheel, as well as new gray carpet and a fabric-wrapped dash. Eric isn't quite sure the direction he wants to take his Suburban next, since the project is always evolving and changing. However, for now he's satisfied riding low and having the coolest family hauler on the block. Eric would like to thank his wife Brandy, his friends "Werm" Hahn, Brian Arnold, Jason Knauft, and Steve Harrington, and his fellow club members at Twisted Creations for their help and support.

Found on Flickr: Poetry, Texas
Look at this beautiful thing–there's a place called Poetry, Texas. Anyone ever been?
Noel Kerns has.
One of my coworkers just reminded me that Poetry, Texas is included in a slide show of poetry in the landscape that we have on the site.
Comments (18)
No, I never went there, except virtually.
Ooh—creepy and lovely! I'd love to visit.
Geist Magazine does some fabulous thematic maps:
I grew up in Garland, Texas, and never heard of Poetry, though both towns are in what folklorists call "Arklatex," a region composed of northeastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and southern Arkansas that is unified by unique cultural affinities. Mike Luster, director of the Arkansas Folklife program at Arkansas State, turned me on to this regional description of the area.
Maston Ussery gave Poetry–located on the old Shreveport-Dallas Road–its name "because the area in springtime reminded him of a poem." There's more here in The Handbook of Texas Online: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/PP/hrp47.html.
Don–thanks for this connection between Garland and anthology. I wonder how that name landscape influenced my unconscious all those years of growing up in what was an otherwise mundane-seeming suburban outback of Dallas?
There's also a Poetry, Georgia! How do I know? Here's a slice of C.D. Wright's Deepstep Come Shining, one of the best road-trip poems ever:
In Rome (likewise-built-on-seven-hills), Georgia, the citizens hail their fellows as Romans. We never found the Forum. The arrows continued pointing right. And a sculpture of Remus and Romulus. Given by Il Duce to the Romans of Georgia. Stored in a root cellar during the war.
It follows that in Athens, Georgia, the citizens hail their fellows as Athenians.
West of Rome is Poetry. Poetry, Georgia. Wonder who lives there.
[Excerpt from http://jacketmagazine.com/15/cdwright-poem.html%5D
Is there a town in the U.S. named after a U.S. *poet*? Or any poet from anywhere? There must be a Homer, [State].
But no Dickinson or Whitman or Poe (named after the poet, that is)?
In Latin America, poets get neighborhoods and towns and rivers and things named after them all the time…
well, Kent, not sure if you consider him a good poet or not, but Whittier (John Greenleaf) has a large suburb of LA named after him; home of such illustrious Californian leaders as Pio Pico and Richard Nixon (though it wasn't really "Whittier" in Pico's time.) Even more interesting is that JGW was still alive when the town was named and he even provided a dedicatory poem.
Greeley, CO is named after Horace Greeley, NY Tribune editor, who published Rufus Griswold's libelous obituary of Poe. Does that count?
I can recite "Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat" from memory. Ask me sometime!
There is a Chaucer Street in the People's Republic of Berkeley, my home town. It's one block long.
San Francisco has a number of streets named after writers, including Jack Kerouac Alley.
oh, and there's the Longfellow Bridge in Boston/Cambridge is named after Henry Wadsworth. Don, shame on you for not thinking of that one.
The School of Quietude rules the County Boards, apparently!
A suburb of LA and a bridge is nice. But in other countries poets have towns and parks and statues dedicated to them galore. Their faces appear on coins and paper money. When you pay for gas in Lisbon, for example, you hand the clerk a 20 with the image of Fernando Pessoa… There are four or five different poets on Uruguayan denominations. Etc.

Draw Huge Disappointment For Rhinos
Rochester, New York -
The Rochester Rhinos played to a 2:2 draw with the Harrisburg City Islanders in Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday, August 23rd, 2014. Clesio Bauque scored both goals for visiting City. Tony Walls opened the scoring for Rochester in the first half, and JC Banks scored the equalizer for the Rhinos in the second half.
The match had playoff implications for both sides. Entering the evening nine teams were separated by only seven points in the USL PRO table with three weeks left to play in the 2014 season. After the result Rochester moved into a tie for sixth place with Charleston Battery, and Harrisburg remained in fifth place – two points clear of the chasing Rhinos and Battery. However, four matches involving seven teams in the playoff hunt remain to be played on Saturday night and Sunday.
The Rhinos opened the scoring in the eighth minute. Rochester's left back Onua Thomas Obasi and holding midfielder Walls stood over a free kick 25 yards out in the middle of the field. Obasi ran over the ball with a left footed dummy run, but Walls struck his right footed shot into the upper left corner of the visitor's net to give the home side a one goal lead.
Harrisburg drew level in the 37th minute. City midfielder Yann Ekra played a long ball into the Rhinos penalty area from forty-five yards out. The ball sailed over the head of Rochester center back Kyle Hoffer, but bounced in front of rookie goalkeeper John McCarthy. During the missed communication in the home side's penalty area, Islanders striker Bauque got on the end of the ball, took a touch around McCarthy, and finished into the empty net.
Five minutes later Bauque scored his second goal in similar fashion. This time Ekra played a perfectly waited ball from 35 yards out that split Hoffer and fellow center back Babacar Diallo. Bauque ran on to the ball at the top of the Rhinos box, and shot the ball under McCarthy to give the visitors the lead.
Rochester leveled the score from the penalty spot through Banks in the 54th minute.
The Rochester Rhinos will travel to Harrisburg on Saturday, August 30th at 7PM for the return leg of their 2014 series with the Islanders. Rochester will conclude the 2014 USL PRO regular season in Sahlen's Stadium on Sunday, September 7th at against the Wilmington Hammerheads at 4:05PM.

You may inform Singtel at least 3 working days before your appointment by:
- Submitting a Relocation Request via My Account (Select 'My Appointment' under 'Account Activities)
- Walking in to any Singtel Shop
- Calling 1688, (Relocation Hotline Operation Hours: Mon-Sat 8am-6pm)
Charges to change appointment will apply if you call us 2 days before the appointment or on the appointment day itself.

Condominium Managements only allow appointments until 5PM. Thus the latest appointment we can arrange for you is between 3:30-5PM on from Mondays to Saturdays. Appointments are not available on Sundays and Public Holidays.
I am moving house and I need to relocate my services. But the account is under a different person's name (spouse, other family member, friend). What should I do?
In order to protect the customer's account, we need to verify the request with the registered customer through phone before proceeding to process the relocation. You may provide us with a contact number that we can use to contact the registered customer for confirmation. Alternatively, you may ask the registered customer to call Singtel at a timing convenient for them to confirm the request.
I am relocating to a new address which is a business location. What should I do?
Residential services cannot be relocated to a business address. If you still wish to proceed, you will need to apply for new services under business rates. Once your business services have been processed, Singtel will cease your residential services and waive off any early termination charges.
In the case where the address is both residential and business, you will need to furnish supporting documents to prove that the subscribed services will be used for residential purposes.
In addition, if you are using Fibre service, NetLink Trust needs to perform a re-classification of your address from Business to Residential. This may take up at least 10 working days. A site survey from an NetLink Trust officer may be conducted as well.

Yes, our installer will need to enter your premise as they will need to configure a new Optical Network Terminal/Optical Network Router for your new address.
Charges for the installation service will apply.

Please bring along the following equipment(s):
- Router/ Residential Gateway/ Optical Network Terminal (ONT)/ Optical Network Router (ONR)

Yes, you can retain you existing telephone number under any of the following circumstances:
- You are using Singtel Home Digital Line.

If you are mio TV subscriber, there may be changes to your content packs subscription rate and the set-top box (STB) rental.
Once Fibre coverage is enabled at your new place, you may convert back to Fibre by signing up for one of the existing Fibre plans. Your mio TV content pack subscription will remain unchanged
If you convert back within 1 month, you will continue with your old contract. If you convert back after 1 month, your contract will restart for another 24 months

Home Broadband (ADSL) Related
Can I keep my ADSL services upon relocating to a newly developed building?
You will not be able to keep your ADSL services upon relocation if your new house only serves fibre-based services.
I want to relocate to a new address and your officer has informed me that my new address "does not have enough resources". What does this mean?
All available resources have been used-up or resources may not be ready yet at your new address. Singtel Engineers need to top-up the resources. This may take-up at least 11 working days from the time of your call. Once resources are available, Singtel will call you to confirm the appointment for your relocation.
I am an ADSL customer and want to migrate to any of the Fibre bundles and relocate at the same time. What is the procedure?
Our officers will check the Fibre coverage in your new address and advise on the fibre plans and charges. If you will like to proceed, we will process your migration to a Fibre bundle at your new address.
- Can I keep my ADSL services upon relocating to a newly developed building?
Can I still use my services at the old address on the day of my relocation appointment?
Your services at the old address will be cut-off at 12:01AM on the day of relocation appointment.
What time will my services work at the new address?
If you have arranged for an installation appointment, your services will work upon successful installation. For activation of home line and/or internet services, you may test them after 6PM.
I am moving to a landed property and have engaged a contractor/builder to do some works. Will this affect my relocation?
It is recommended that you call Singtel at 1688 2 months before relocating to your new premise to ensure that your services will not be disrupted. If the renovation had affected the Singtel cabling infrastructure in your new premise, we may need more time than usual to relocate your services.
A Singtel Officer will contact you within 3 working days to arrange for a site survey at your new premise. During the site survey, an external party appointed by Singtel will go to your premises to determine the following:
- Any replacement required for Singtel Distribution Point and cable?
- Is there a new meter compartment and where is it located?
- Is there any lead-in pipe provided inside the meter compartment?
If additional work is required for the relocation, our engineers will estimate the charges and send you a quotation. Charges will be borne by the customer and the charges have to be paid before Singtel engineers can proceed with the job.

Sainz takes Dakar fourth stage and race lead
AFP Friday, January 10, 2014, 12:17 am TWN
CHILECITO, Argentina -- Former winner Carlos Sainz claimed the fourth stage of the Dakar Rally and the overall lead on Wednesday with defending champion Stephane Peterhansel in second despite enduring a second successive day of punctures.
SMG Buggy driver Sainz, the 2010 Dakar champion, finished more than six minutes ahead of Frenchman Peterhansel, an 11-time winner on four wheels and two, with Qatar's Nasser Al-Attiyah, the 2011 victor, coming home in third place on the run from San Juan to Chilecito.
It was Sainz's 26th career stage win on the grueling event and gave him an overall advantage of 2min 06sec on overnight leader Nani Roma in a Mini. Al-Attiyah, also in a Mini, is 6min 56sec behind Sainz.
Peterhansel clawed back a few minutes after a disastrous third stage on Tuesday saw him suffer six punctures in his Mini, but he remains 18min 10sec behind Sainz.
"At the beginning we had to drive in the dust, but little by little we managed to overtake several cars," said Sainz.
"We also got a bit lucky when, about 10 km before the finish, our power steering broke down in a narrow spot amid all the vegetation, but we easily made it to the finish all the same.
"In the second part there was a waypoint where we went right, but after a while we realized it had to be on the other side, so we headed left and we found it. No big deal, I think everyone made the same mistake."
Peterhansel said his hopes had been dashed by yet another puncture.
"Things didn't start very well this morning. We had a flat tire after 30 km. Not the best way to start the day," said the Frenchman.
"So we decided to set a consistent pace to try and avoid making mistakes. Towards the end, there was a waypoint that was quite hard to find, but we went the right way from the beginning by U-turning to look in the right direction, which helped us not to lose too much time. And, in the end, we did quite well."
In the motorcycle section, Spain's Juan Pedrero took the stage honors while Frenchman Cyril Despres, the defending champion and seeking a sixth career title, was the victim of an engine breakdown on his Yamaha which relegated him to 41 min 17 sec behind overall leader Joan Barreda on a Honda.

Smiles, spinnakers and hangovers prevail in the world's friendliest yacht race, writes Ian Lloyd Neubauer.
Kill two birds with one stone: that's what the Cercle Nautique Caledonien cruising yacht club figured when it launched the Great Lagoon Regatta in 2009.
First, it would give members who didn't have fast, expensive sailboats - and all the time in the world to train on them - the chance to participate in a genuine yacht race.
And second, it'd provide a conduit to promote their nation's greatest natural treasure - the New Caledonian Barrier Reef - a 1600km-long coral formation that encases the largest marine lagoon in the world.
Yet the first year's race hit a bit of a hitch.
"We introduced a rule where competitors received extra points for every fish they caught," says co-ordinator Herve Moal, a salty haired super-yacht agent based in the capital, Noumea.
"But the crew of one boat came with 20 rods, caught a tonne of fish and won the race even though their boat was one of the last to finish!"
Held the first weekend in June, the now fish-free three-day race is open to monohulls and catamarans, and boats from New Zealand and Australia are especially welcome.
Invitations are also extended to tourists with no sailing experience to speak of, who can hire yachts and two skippers to do the sailing on their behalf.
It goes a long way to explain how, in four short years, the Great Lagoon Regatta has made a name as the friendliest yacht race in the South Pacific.
Here's what happened at this year's race ...
The starter's horn blares through the sultry sea air. Without wasting a moment, a Sydney 38 monohull completes a sharp tack around the starting line and powers ahead, followed by an Archambault 35, a G35, three other monohulls and seven gleaming white catamarans.
The boats are not fairly matched and thus will be penalised according to their handicap. But strategy is important, too, and gives these amateur skippers a chance to prove their mettle on the sea.
Most opt to sail about a mile off the coast, while two boats go much further out. This turns out to be a mistake because the sea becomes choppy in the afternoon and those closer to land enjoy not only smoother sailing but also a stronger downwind.
The finish line lies some 30 nautical miles away at the mouth of a small bay on the west coast of Ouen Island - a breathtaking little spot where a pristine little beach has been chosen to stage the opening night celebrations.
The party goes on well into the night and beer flows endlessly, the sounds of drunken sailors echoing over the lagoon.
A serious regatta it may not be, but a serious party it is.
Our destination today is the South Five Island Group, a sunken atoll dotted with pristine islets ringed by coral reefs. The route heads due south through a passage riddled with coral reefs and submerged rocks, making it the most complex - and challenging - section of the regatta.
"There are many choices in terms of tactics today," Herve explains.
"You have to make a decision to go in front or behind the reef. One way is shorter, but the other way you have very little waves and the water is flatter, so you can get more speed.
"But, if the wind changes a little bit, you can get in serious trouble. See that green boat?" he asks, pointing to a monohull miles off our aft.
"The skipper decided to put his spinnaker up and found himself lost in the middle of the rocks. So he had to turn back and lost a lot of time."
Yesterday was overcast but today the weather shines with an ice-blue sky and a strong headwind - perfect conditions for sailing. By 9am all 13 yachts amass behind the starting line, ready to give it all they've got. The starting horn blares and the game is on.
One by one the skippers raise their spinnakers, infusing the seascape with a kaleidoscope of brilliant colours and patterns. The Sydney 38 again takes the lead and ends up winning the regatta by a healthy margin. But a serious battle takes place for the second and third spots between the Archambault 35 and the G35. When we last see them at the halfway mark they're neck-and-neck, with only a metre or two separating them at certain moments.
Who came first between them? It matters not. For this event is about friendship and seeing a beautiful part of the world, not the tiring details of sports statistics.
"This regatta started as a race," says Herve, "but it turned into a family."
Getting there: Aircalin, the international airline of New Caledonia, has four departures a week to Noumea from Auckland.

Societies all over the world are in a fierce competition to prove their children are superior to those in other nations. The quest for "perfection" certainly is vital for the political, economic and social survival of many countries. The father of a three year old girl in Sweden wonders if the desire for "beautiful children" has been carried a bit too far since the photo of his girl for the second year in a row was retouched in the name of "beauty." Meja has a scar on her face due to falling, but when the photo came back, there was no scar, just a beautiful young face. The school photographer took it upon himself to edit Meja's photo to remove the scar. He defended his action on grounds most parents are happy to have perfectly formed faces for their children, "we just want things to be nice and cute."
I wonder what these photographers would have done to the face of Abraham Lincoln whose gaunt look made opponents often refer to his facial features. Perhaps, from now on, there should be a criteria of "beauty" when selecting leaders of society. How about instead of a presidential election, we have a beauty contest for the best formed and attractive man or woman?

Francesca is the former Assistant Editor of food52 and believes you can make anything out of farro.
We hear you! I would probably make the relish -- tops -- the day before. Left refrigerated, you're good to go.
Not sure what the food-safety mavens say about this, but I think you can safely go more than one day ahead. I usually make cranberry sauce/relish the weekend before and park them in the fridge. I've never noticed any loss of quality, and they seem just as good several days after Thanksgiving. Tthe uncooked relishes, in particular, definitely benefit from having a few days to let the flavors mingle.
There's so much acid and sugar in there, it can't be fertile ground for bacteria as long as it's kept cold.
I was just going to ask about that, I was planning on making the cranberry relish today and parking it in the fridge until T-day. I usually make it the day before but am trying to do as much as possible ahead. I don't want to take any chances with bacteria but as you say sfmiller with the sugar and acid it should not be a problem.
I just saw this: http://www.food52.com/blog...

MOVIES: You ain't seen nothing yet
Jul 12, 2013 , 12:31 PM by Paul Serratore
After spending a few weeks watching Hollywood flicks, Stewart Baillie decided it was time to go back to the art-house cinema to see what they had on offer.
What he found was this rather obscure French film Vous n'avez encore rien vu, which translates as You ain't seen nothing yet.
The film follows a group of theatre actors who are asked to decide whether a recently deceased playwright's work can be performed by a young acting company.
Despite the rather strange plot, Stewart Baillie decided to challenge himself and see this film, but found many in the audience weren't able to see it all the way through.

I have a 10 x 30 deck with the flooring planks installed on a 45 degree angle. A 10 x 20 screened porch was built on top of this deck. The flooring inside the screened porch is in good condition.
The remaining 10 x 10 area is exposed to the weather. The flooring planks in this area are badly weathered and need replacing. Some of these weathered planks are long enough that they extend into the screened porch area.
Can I go over the existing weathered flooring with some new material? If this is not a good idea, how do I replace the weathered flooring, remembering that the walls of the screened porch were built on top of this flooring?

O2 Modern Fitness helps clients of all fitness levels and walks of life reach their full fitness potential—including current mayor Jonathan Rothschild, who promotes physical fitness city-wide. With his days packed full of rich lunch meetings and countless hours at the desk, Rothschild spends his mornings pedaling away calories.
Now a tried-and-true fitness emporium, O2 Modern Fitness began when Susan Frank realized the key to keeping her genetically high cholesterol low: cycling. Today, helping clients achieve strength and conditioning through cycling (CYCL) and Cross Training (CROSS) are the primary goals of O2, thanks to self-paced group training. Yet beyond the bike, certified staff members lead students though high-intensity interval training that includes body-weight exercises plus the use of kettlebells and sandbags within the CROSS conditioning classes that heighten core strength and mobility.

It's very much NOT a hands off approach. You stay in close contact, let the child know you are interested in her life, let her choose which SCHOOL is better for her instead of telling her what not to do.<quoted text>
Don't presume to know more about ANYTHING than I do. I don't buy in to the philosophy of "well, kids are gonna do what they're gonna do regardless, so I'm not even gonna bother."
I don't agree with this "hands off" approach to parenting.
Kids will make mistakes. A senior in high school will be 18 shortly. You don't just become an adult. You gain responsibility for yourself little by little.
Parents should model the behavior they want to see in their almost adult kids (and kids of all ages, really). By this time in the girl's life, she has to learn to rely on herself and take responsibility for her decisions.
One way a parent could oversee this on their dime is saying you will pay for school as long as they maintain a certain grade point.

JK Rowling really knows how to spin a good yarn and you really know how to design a great quilt. Thank you so much for sharing.
