Good small cruising sailboats?
I read Vigor''s book and checked out a few of his recommendations. We looked at a Seawind ketch. Man was it rough. My wife flatly refused to live on such a thing. We finally decided to buy a compromise Pearson 323 and are happy so far. It is pretty fast and reasonable sea kindly.
For us realistically we are not crossing oceans any time soon. The pearson seems rugged enough for sailing to the Bahamas and fast enough to sail along the coast. Some of Vigor''s recommendations require a storm to move!! Just look at their PHFR rateings.
If you are serious about crossing oceans we looked at a seawind two. It would be my choice. But it will be slow in the bay.
There is a net resource called the sailcalculator that gives the numbers on a lot of boats. I used it to pick the P323 as a good compromise. I liked the comfort and capsize ratios. Some of the boats with better ratios such as the Cape Dory 30 were just too small for a couple. We almost bought a CD 30 but there wasn''t a good place for me to sleep. The forberth on the P323 is very comfortable for my wife and I. If we become good enough sailors we may have to buy a more seaworthy boat but right now we figure we can have several years of fun cruising the east and gulf coast and hopping over to the bahamas. That''s another thing with the P323 it draws 4.5''.
Good small cruising sailboats?
This month''s issue of Cruising World just had an article on small cruising boats, 30ft and under. You could also get a copy of "20 small boats that can take you anywhere", John Vigor (I believe). There are also many lists floating around the net. Try doing a google.com search.

Why School is Hypocritical
1. They tell you to get a good nights sleep, but they make you get up at 6:00 in the morning.
2. They teach you that stress is bad, yet most kids spend hours doing their homework.
3. They want you to do extracurricular activities, but they give you so much to do, you don't have time.
4. Studies show eating slower makes you more full, but lunch periods are shorter then classes (at least at my school).
5. They tell you to be yourself, but they try too conform you to their ways.

I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cell phone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't ever been asked out. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things.

Re-post this if you think homophobia is wrong.
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
If you think that there's nothing wrong with gay marriage, slash, or gay couples, copy and paste this on your profile.
...because good things happen too: I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage. I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at those who glare. We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away. We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gay bash. I am the transgender person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to my face in front of the entire restaurant--and shares with my other trans friends which restaurants don't raise a stink. I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner. I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag. I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God. I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing. I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children. We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters I am the child who was raised going to gay marriages and civil unions and never saw a difference between the gay marriage and straight marriage. I am making a difference. Hate will not win if we do not let it. If you agree, repost this.

Remember only two defining forces have ever Offered to die for you:
I went to a birthday party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink at all,So I had a Sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't choose to drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I knew I made a healthy choice and, Your advice to me was right, As the party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my own car, Sure to get home in one piece, Never knowing what was coming, Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, "The kid that caused this wreck was drunk." His voice seems far away. My own blood is all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, "This girl is going to die. "I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, Because he chose to drink and drive, That I would have to die. So why do people do it, Knowing that it ruins lives? But now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven, Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave. Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his mom and dad had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, I'm getting really scared. These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, I love you and good-bye.

A guy and a girl were speeding over 100km on a motorcycle.
Girl: Slow down!
Guy: No this is fun!
Girl: No it's not! Please, it's way to scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: I love you. Now slow down.
Guy: Now give me a big hug.
She gave him a big hug.
Guy: Can you take off my helmet and put it on yourself? It's bothering me.
In the newspaper, the next day, a motorcycle crashed into a building because of break failure.
Two people were on it and only one survived.
The truth was, that half way down the road the guy realized his breaks were out and he didn't want the girl to know.
Instead, he had her hug him and tell him she loved him one last time. Then he had her put his helmet on so she would live even if it meant he would die.

Why aren't sheets of college-ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody, a rock would tear that paper up in 2 seconds. When I play rock/ paper/ scissors I always choose rock.

It cakes the inside of your mouth like plaster.
Thick. Chalky. Your tongue rubs against it
but there is not enough pressure to scrape it away
and so it remains.
You swallow, hoping to choke it down,
hoping that if you tolerate it long enough
- just one more swallow should do it - that maybe
the acid in your stomach will feast for the last time.
It harbors no disillusions the way you do -
it knows it is safe, that it will line your insides like lead paint
until the passage of time has eroded your flesh and
left you as nothing but a pile of brittle bones and
flakes of the things you could never manage
to push from between your teeth, the truth you tried to infuse
into all of your subliminal meanings. It's a hundred years later
and no one knows what you meant to say.

News : Consilium Software Announces Third Generation of UniAgent™ CRM
Consilium Software, the unified communications software company providing service in on-premise and cloud solutions for enterprises and contact centers, announces the availability of the third generation of the Consilium UniAgent™ CRM connector. The new version of Consilium UniAgent™ was designed to improve contact center agent team productivity and reduce IT overhead.
UniAgent™ leverages agents' real-time status to make the presence of agents and supervisors available across teams, enabling faster access to the right resources across an organization and improving first call resolution. Agent and queue statistics available within UniAgent™ empower agents to make decisions to shorten queue wait times and compare their performance with others in their team. Customers can now choose to have centralized licensing control and centralized deployment, doing away with the need for IT to maintain workstation-based licenses. After the one-time license activation the application only requires access to the contact center solution and their on-premise or cloud CRM.
"With no additional hardware introduced, Consilium UniAgent™ is perhaps the only CRM connector which maintains the original reliability of your contact center solution," said Aman Basra, vice president of solutions and co-founder at Consilium Software. "UniAgent's client-based connector approach has passed rigorous testing giving clients the assurance of a robust certified integration given after validation under the Cisco Developer Network (CDN) and Salesforce AppExchange partner programs. The majority of our clients did not want to invest in server hardware to implement a CRM connector as it adds to the IT cost of ownership. With that in mind, Consilium adopts a green IT policy in designing our software, which eliminates the need for servers – our software is completely contained within the user PC."

"The New York
Giants were fortunate to have made the playoffs in 2011. Not fortunate in
the sense that they won games they should have lost, but in that a nine-win
season was good enough to earn them the NFC East crown. In fact, the 2011 Giants were the only
team ever to win the NFC East with only nine wins since the league expanded to
a sixteen-game schedule in 1978. In 2010, the team actually had ten wins and was
left out in the cold during the post season.
Historically, nine wins is sometimes good enough to earn a Wild Card berth;
however, the Giants received a four-seed and a home playoff game in 2011. As
impressive as the team's playoff performance was, they were placed in a much
more favorable position than most other nine win teams normally receive.
Although Big Blue eventually got healthy and went on an improbable run to
their fourth Super
Bowl victory in franchise history, there were several moments throughout the
2011 campaign in which it looked like the Giants were going to be on the outside
looking in come playoff time. For these reasons, some believe that Big Blue will
fail to make it through the NFC and into the playoffs in the upcoming
Throughout the last few weeks, several NFL analysts and so-called "experts" have predicted that the team
will not make the playoffs in 2012. Although many fans disagree with these
prognostications, Big Blue still has several questions to answer after their 9-7 regular season campaign a year ago.
Ironically, the outcome of the 2012 NFL season will be determined largely by the results of
the 2011 season. For many teams, their schedule will be the make-or-break factor
that will either vault them into post-season lore, or will have them sitting on
their couches come January. For the 2012 New York
Giants to make the playoffs, this can not be the case.
The Giants will have the toughest schedule in the NFL in 2012. On
top of playing their annual divisional bouts, Big Blue will face seven other
teams that made the playoffs in 2011. To complicate matters further, the Giants
will play on the road against the San
Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, and Baltimore
Ravens. While objectively examining the team's ferocious line-up of opponents,
it seems that a ten win season would be extremely difficult to attain.
That being said, the 2012 Giants have improved over the offseason. With a
full gauntlet of workouts and OTA's, there will be more consistency and
continuity with the team heading into next season. The rookies that the team
relied upon last year in several key positions will be no longer be
inexperienced liabilities; and both the offensive line and linebacker core
should improve as these younger players continue to develop.
Furthermore, it is imperative that the Giants beat the teams they are
"supposed" to beat in 2012. Big Blue can not afford to have a game this season
similar to last year's home matchups with the Seattle Seahawks or Washington
Redskins. With such an unforgiving schedule, the team must win their games
against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, and Redskins. The Giants have more
talent and experience than all of the aforementioned teams and need those five
victories to give them some wiggle room against their more competitive
All things considered, it is still very early to give an accurate prediction
on whether any team will make the playoffs in 2012. Nobody knows how teams will
mesh during training camp, or if any significant injuries will be suffered
during the preseason by key players.
However, the Giants will certainly have their work cut out for them in the
upcoming season. As we saw last year, they have the ability to beat any team
they play, but can also lose games they most definitely should have won. With
the talent and experience returning to the team this season, the Giants should
make the playoffs, but that is far from a guaranteed statement. Big Blue must be
extremely focused for each and every game to avoid following up their Super
Bowl championship season with a clunker in 2012."

A method for the non-destructive purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using classical coordination chemistry to remove the metal catalyst has been developed. In preliminary tests, the conductivity of films based on the resulting SWNTs was markedly better than that of films prepared from SWNTs purified by treatment with oxidizing acid solutions. The transparent and conducting SWNT films have potential applications in optoelectronic devices.

Opening Remarks:
"That was a fun night - a fun night for us. The first half, we really played well. The second half, I don't think we were as attentive to detail and lost our concentration a little bit, and yet we made some big plays even during that stretch.
"It's not typical for our team to miss free throws and yet it's not typical for Will Graves to do the little things he did with those two big tip-outs. He's been in my doghouse so bad and I said a few things to him that I wouldn't ever say out in public, but those were two big plays ...
"Ed Davis I thought was huge for us. The key in the first half was that every one who came in gave us something positive ...
"You're up 16 at half and we felt good, but we also knew how good that team was and how competitive we are. I wasn't pleased the way we handled it down the stretch missing those free throws and yet we got defensive stops a couple times and when they penetrated we didn't fly in to help and let them to pitch it back out for threes - we did give them layups, though.
"The keys to me were what our bench gave us the entire game, Larry was big time for us again today and for Ed and Deon to do the job they did inside. But it was 12 guys who did a heck of a job and really helped us."
Talk how your matchup with Kalin Lucas tonight?
"I was just playing my game - I just went out there, tried not to think about it much and play the way I know I can play and things worked out for us. ... Probably just proving to myself - I can say I'm here for a reason, but not really getting as many minutes and experience last year, I wanted to make this game a statement to myself that, 'Ok, you're among the top point guards in the country. You can do this.' This game, I'm going to try and feed off it for next game. This was one of three games I marked on my calendar and making sure I tried to lead my team to a win."
Your confidence is growing in your offensive game, that seems clear ...
"Increased confidence, increased playing time - just overall experience. I was born to play this game and this position. As long as I'm out there, I'm going to make something happen. I came out here to run the team and to win games."
This game was promoted as the national championship game rematch, but was that on your mind during this game?
"I was sitting talking to Larry and Justin about how they were going to be gunning for us because I know if I lost to a team twice last year that I'd really want this. So we knew they really wanted this one but we wanted it more."
The freshmen played a key role in this victory. How far have they come along since the start of the season?
"Everyone is just starting to know their role, Coach is getting the rotation right and everyone is starting to fit in and know what they need to do every night. I'm proud of everyone and how hard they fought the entire game."
You seemed like you were much more comfortable tonight and things were clicking for you ...
"Yeah, I think I played comfortable - I've been playing like that in practice and I just had to bring it to the game. Like they say: 'practice how you play.' ... This is a new experience for me so each game I'm gaining more confidence - each game that goes by is going to help me improve on my game."
This will be an ongoing process, but how far away are you in your point guard development?
"Far. I've got more work to do to get that point guard mentality. I've been watching film - watching Raymond, Chris Paul, Steve Nash - to see how they think and what they do on the court."
You came out in the first half and made an impact right away, and looked like you're starting to figure this all out ...
"Coach Rob and Coach Haase have really gotten on me all week about playing with intensity and taking my game to the next level. I felt tonight I took a big step in that direction. After the game they told me that's what they want to see. I just felt in my skin, wasn't thinking about it and was just playing ... My goal is every game to get better. I feel like every game I'm making strides and one day it's all going to come together and it's going to be a great day."
What'd you think of your first big game at the Smith Center?
"It was a fun experience. I told Dex on the bench, 'I love this.' It was a different atmosphere - more intense - and that was probably one of the best games I've experienced in my life."
So much of the pre-game talk was about Michigan State and what they needed to do to get past you guys - you guys were presumed to now have a big stake in this game.
"There's no question that all the talk was about Michigan State and them getting revenge. But here they are coming on our home court and we're trying to protect our home court and we were just as excited as they were - a chance to put them away for a third time. So we were very excited to play tonight and I think it showed."
Can you speak to Larry Drew's play tonight?
"I've always said that everybody was worried about Larry Drew as our point guard, but he's a big time player. I don't think these games from Larry should be surprising to anybody anymore. He can be huge for this team and give us a great lift - like he did tonight - and I think he's going to continue to do that. ... There's no question he was excited about that matchup [with Lucas] and I think he did a great job, being calm and helping the team out."
If you had your choice, would you put in for this game again?
"Sure. Do you want to schedule it? I'd love to… It's a good game. I always like playing some of the best teams in the country and there's no doubt North Carolina is one of them. You know what? I'll guarantee you one thing. In 15 years, I've never backed down from anybody and I sure as [heck] ain't going to start now. So you want to schedule it? I'll schedule it."
What are your feelings on the last five times with North Carolina?
"Well, I think it's evident. I've said all along – we're not where those guys are yet. And I think it's evident. It's okay to lose to them, but it's the first time we've really competed in the last three games. So maybe that's a start in the right direction. But you've got to win games, too. Our program is not where theirs is, but our program is not where there are moral victories because you kept it close. Some guys have got to step up. I was really disappointed in a couple of guys' performances and we're really going to have to take a solid look at some things here in the near future."
With all of the hype, do you think this loss will linger for this team?
"No, I don't think so at all, to be honest with you. This is what I live for. I think every Michigan State fan should be happy and pleased. They won't be, and I really don't give a [darn]. But they should be because we're playing in these games. And you don't have big games if only one team is good. You have big games because both teams are good."

Chapter Twenty-OneMature
Steven moaned as he looked at his smashed window screen, of his much loved truck. He had gotten lucky, there was no doubt about that. No broken bones, or any other life-threatening injuries. He had just gotten some scrapes and bruises.
Steven laughed, showing the world his cracked, blood stain teeth, from when he hit the airbag, that somehow worked, in the crash. He must be immortal, he survived the witch and a car crash.
Karma, ha! Karma doesn't exist, or I did a good thing getting rid of that slut, and witch. Steven thought, crawling out of the window of his truck. Falling into the small river, before getting up and servicing the damage to his loved truck, seeing how much that little witch was going to pay, if she was alive.
"Stand up with your hands behind your head. Don't try anything funny, or we'll have to shoot you." A voice shouted behind him, and when he turned there was ten police officers, six males and four females. Their guns aimed at his head or heart.
"Now come on, what did I do? What are the charges?" Steven asked, a sly smile on his face, standing up putting his hands past his mud-shocked hair, his brown eyes looking at them, without any signs of guilt. He didn't feel guilty.
The law didn't project animals, how else did he get away with it, for four years. Too bad, she dead, before it had his way with her.
"Child abuse," A young officer, Gary, snarled.
"Fucking bitch is still alive?" Steven yelled, kicking the mud beneath his feet.
"Now you have resisting arrest, murder, and attempted murder," Looking at the man who yelled it, he had the same colouring as the slut, Native American.
"Also, reckless driving, driving under the influence, legal pension of a gun and drug use," Gary said, his finger getting closer to the tiger, how he could like to kill this man, but he can't.
"Drug, drug use, gun? But how? Why?" Steven chocked "How did you find drugs? You're not allowed to enter my house without a warrant."
Steven was yelling at the end of it. Those pigs! Breaking their own law, fucking idiots the lot of them, how Steven wished he had his gun.
"Actually, under a 'hot pursuit,' meaning when you fled, it gave us legal jurisdiction to search your house." Gary told him "we also suspected that you were drunk, which in that case, in the United States of America, an officer can enter a house, if they think it holds evidence, namely the blood alcohol."
During it, Steven realized something, the pigs were messing with him! Giving him the legal answers because he wasn't able to escape, couldn't be able to run, not with this many around.
"Put your hands, all the way up, where we can see them," Gary shouted at him, the same you would for a blood cold killer.
Steven slowly raised his hands above his head, where they could be easily seen. He was shocked, he was found, after all these years, it seemed Karma was biting him in the ass, for leaving the little slut alive as long as he did, and she was still fucking living. For the first time he lost, for the first time he was caught, and he was going to jail.
He could dimly tell that his arms where behind his back, and that he was being handcuffed. He slightly heard his rights. The only thought that could stay in his mind was, this is all that slut's fault, she couldn't stop at killing my wife, she had to be the end of me as well.
"If you see my slut of a foster daughter, tell her this," Steven screeched, fighting against the cuffs and the police officers holding his arms "She ruined my life, so I'll make hers a living hell. I'll find her and I'll torture her, until she's begging for death. And I'll give her it, painfully."
"He's a real nut job," A rookie said "Abusing a child, then killing an officer and to make it worse, he threatens the child."
"Don't worry about it," The rookie's partner said "He'll be lucky, if he sets one foot out of jail, before he's dying days. Come on, we need to go. We're going to have a lot of paperwork."
"We sure are," The rookie smiled, before frowning as she looked at officers car, blood covered and broken. As she went to her own car, she hoped two things.
That he never sees the outside of a jail and that he dies a very painful death. If she knew one thing, it was the fact, that most criminals hate, and she meant people who hurt a child. And they torture that person, or kills them very painfully.

Schock Reiterates Need For Timely, Targeted And Responsible Stimulus Plan
Congressman Aaron Schock today reiterated his desire for a timely, targeted and responsible stimulus package that both sides of the aisle could support. Schock voted against H.R. 1 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, when it passed the House today by a near party line vote of 244 to 188.
Schock opposed this legislation due to the lack of infrastructure spending and lack of transparency in the bill.
"While I strongly believe we need to pass a timely, targeted and responsible stimulus plan, this bill crafted by Speaker Pelosi without bipartisan input, does not rise to the challenges we are facing," said Schock. "The price tag for this bill is nearly a trillion dollars, and only 8 percent of that total goes to our transportation and infrastructure priorities. This simply is not enough."
"Despite a productive and sincere meeting with President Obama yesterday, Democratic leadership in the House refused to follow his lead and decided to write this bill behind closed doors and not allow thoughtful amendments from either side of the aisle," Schock continued.
Schock offered two amendments to the legislation. One of Schock's amendments was co- sponsored by Democrat Congressman Adam Smith of Washington, making it one of only a handful out of the over 200 amendments proposed that was bipartisan. It would have ensured the website www.recovery.gov provides timely, accurate and complete information on where taxpayer dollars authorized by the stimulus are being spent. Schock said the American people are wondering where the bailout funds were spent and his amendment would allow everyone to see exactly where stimulus funds are being spent.
His second measure would have increased funding for needed transportation and infrastructure improvements while creating good-paying jobs, and simultaneously reducing the federal deficit.
Schock also supported alternative economic stimulus legislation which failed to pass the House today by a vote of 159 to 270. This legislation would have doubled infrastructure spending in this legislation, bringing the total amount to $80 billion, including $66 billion for highways. This would have created or sustained 2.7 million jobs of the 3.5 million President Obama has requested be created through any stimulus package.
"The dire state of our economy combined with the urgent needs to upgrade our infrastructure requires us to seize this opportunity to get this bill right," Schock concluded. "We must not spend this much money and fail the people again."
Schock noted that today's vote is far from the last word on the economic stimulus bill. The Senate's version will differ from the House version passed today and those differences will be hammered out in a Conference of the House and Senate.
In addition, yesterday President Obama promised Schock and his Republican colleagues that he was open to intervening on their concerns. Congressman Schock is hopeful that a new version that comes back to the House for final consideration will address his concerns allowing him to vote for and advocate for passage of the final economic stimulus bill.

Pensions Update — looking forward: great expectations or bleak house? - .PDF file.
The pace of change for pension schemes will continue in 2014 and beyond. In place of its usual Pensions Update, Nabarro has produced a timeline plotting the main developments that it expects.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 28, 1999, New Braunfels, Texas " "................■ w ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■ 'trrrw _ __ mm ".., - J Vol. 149, Nov. 28 14 pages in 2 sections December 28, 1999 Tuesday Serving Comal County since 1852 50 cents Fire chief: New station, trucks needed By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer Without a new fire station, parts of New Braunfels will have to settle for response times of up to nine minutes — four minutes more than the city's targeted response time. "Timeliness is the name of the game," New Braunfels Fire and Rescue Chief Jack Collier said. "For every minute that passes, the fire can quadruple." And one minute can mean the difference between life and death for someone not breath- COLLIER Bond Series Today Public safety bond projects and staff requests Wednesday Communication system Thursday Sports complex Friday Park improvement bond projects and staff requests ing, he said. A new $900,000 fire station is just one of several requests on the proposed bond scheduled to go before voters in May. The fire station is one of eight items included on a public safety proposition worth about $2.4 million. By itself, the proposition could increase the city's 31-cent tax rate by 6.39 cents. This increase would repay the bond debt as well as for staff and maintenance of the new fire station. Council will finalize the $38.6 million bond list by mid-February. Mayor Stoney Williams suggested council trim the list, which could, if approved, more than double the tax rate in the next four years. The public safety proposition, however, is not one of the six propositions that should be pared down, he said. Collier agreed, saying, "These are not wish lists at all. These are absolute needs." Although the city hasn't decided where it would build a new fire station. Collier said likely areas were Oak Run, Hunter's Creek and Mission Valley Estates areas. Those areas are not in the city limits now, but New Braunfels Fire and Rescue still is responsible for serving them through an agreement with the county. And according to the city's annexation plan, those areas will be part of the city in the next five year:. "That's one of the fastest growing areas in the city," Williams said. Those areas also now settle for response times of seven, eight or nine minutes. "We can't reach them in the five-minute response time," Collier said. The city owns a vacant fire station on Kerlick Lane and Wallahalla Street, near Loop 337 and Texas 46. "It's up to council " Collier said, "if they w ant to staff that See FIRE/5A Public Safety Proposition Among items included on the proposed city bond issue are: • Build fire station ($900,000) • Remodeling of fire stations ($370,000) • Replace fire engine ($280,000) • Buy a Quint truck — fire engine with aerial ladder ($350,000) • Buy brush truck ($65,000) • Buy a heavy rescue truck ($105,000) • Infrastructure for water mains at the New Braunfels Airport ($120,000) • City percent of TxDOT grant for airport improvements ($200,000) Scam artists preying on public's fears about Y2K By Christina Minor Staff Writer Watch out, New Braunfels, you might just get scammed. The new year is fast approaching and scam artists are taking every opportunity to play on the public's fears of preparing for a disaster. Heather Hippsley, a Y2K expert with the Federal Trade Commission, said internet and telemarketing scams were prevalent. "Two companies were telling people to prepare for Y2K by selling them credit card insurance," she said. "People were asked to give out personal information, but remember your credit card company already has that information." In November, internet users were asked by a gold-mining company, Precious Metals, to invest in its gold mine. After signing up, investors would receive a certificate. "But what people don't know is that there is no gold mine," Hippsley said. The FTC also warns the public about a fraudulent investment scheme where scam artists are asking people to withdraw money from their savings accounts or other investments. The scam artist then takes the money to invest in companies or products that will fix the Y2K problem. Once the new year arrives, the scams should stop, Hippsley said. "These are opportunists' schemes," she said. "They target people and prey on the fear of the unknown. Once Jan. I comes and nothing happens, they won't have any reason to continue the scams." Heather Browne, spokesperson for the Texas Attorney General's Office, said the office had reports of telemarketing scams aimed toward the elderly. "Most of the scams deal with giving out your bank account number or credit card numbers," Browne said. "Never give out your account number without some written verification." Staff'members from the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division will monitor consumer scams as New Year's Day approaches, Browne said. "The best advice I can offer is buyer beware. If it's too good to be true then it probably is." Officials at the Comal County Sheriff's Off ice cmd New Braunfels Police Department said no scams had been reported. To report scam information, call the FTC at (888) USA-4-Y2K; the Attorney General's office at (800) 621-0508; or local law enforcement.Inside Abby...................................7A Classifieds.....................4-6B Comics...............................3B Crossword..........................7A Forum.................................6A Local/Metro........................4A Movies................................7A Obituaries...........................3A Sports.............................1-2B Today.................................2A Television...........................8 A www.herald-zeitung.com Key code 76 Top Stories of 1999 I ....................... Putting out fires File photo Emergency response personnel, including Texas Department of Public Safety highway troopers, firemen and emergency medical technicians, take notes during the wildfire that burned 2,500 acres during the first week of March. Comal spent good part of 1999 under burn ban By Christina Minor Staff Writer Comal County spent much of 1999 under an outdoor burning ban, and the March wildfire in northern Comal County serves as a reminder why. The wildfire destroyed 2,500 acres of rugged terrain near Fischer while more than IOO firefighters from Blanco, Hays, Bexar and Comal counties battled the blaze started by someone burning brush. The initial fire started Feb. 28 but rekindled on March 2 when strong winds ignited the smoldering embers. Canyon Lake Fire and EMS Chief Doug Rogers said he could not determine exactly where the fire started. Fischer resident Merle Fischer said, "It started on a Sunday afternoon and burned for about a week. I had just come in from the pasture when I saw the smoke. At first, I was concerned about the pasture because it was still very dry. Luckily we didn't have any animals out there." Fischer's property didn't burn, but land to the northwest sustained major damage. "One ranch was badly charred," she said. Fischer moved to the Fischer area in 1992, and said the area is prone to droughts and fires. See BURN BAN/5A Golf fee structure sparks firestorm of controversy By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer When New Braunfels City Council approved a new fee structure for Landa Park Municipal Golf Course in May, several golfers vowed they would never go back. And some haven't. Others have cut back their play. But Ward Watson, golf course manager, said he actually has seen more rounds of golf played since July I — the first day the new fee structure took effect. Between July I and Dec. 19, the golf course recorded 41,150 rounds. At that pace, the course could far surpass this past year's 65,000 rounds for the fiscal year, which ends June 30, Watson said. The golf course also has generated more revenue this year — $403,042 between July I and November 30, compared to $266,501 during the same time this See GOLF FEES/5A File photo Councilmen Larry Alexander and Lee Rodriguez listen to debate about a proposal to change the fee structure at Landa Park Golf Course.

Buzz: Performing music that Esquire magazine says "sounds like a young John Mellencamp playing a Delta-house kegger," Green headlines arenas in Texas. He twice sold out the old Houston Astrodome. His single Wave on Wave is the year's surprise country hit, peaking at No. 3 and earning a Grammy nomination last week for best country song.
History: Green started his own label and released his first record, Dancehall Dreamer, in 1995 while attending Lubbock's Texas Tech University. He graduated in 1997 with a degree in general studies after sampling architecture, biochemistry, engineering and psychology. "I was six hours away from graduating with three different majors," he says. He sold 300,000 copies of five indie albums before bypassing Nashville to sign with New York-based Universal/Republic in 2000.
Toning down the wild side: Early on, Green's music attracted a hard-partying college audience. A reference to "tacos and beer" in his 2001 single Carry On defined his music for many fans and critics. With his album Wave on Wave, released in July, his writing has begun to incorporate more universal themes. "When I was 18 to about 25 years old, I wrote what an 18- to 25-year-old person thought and felt," Green says. "I loved being from Texas, I loved drinking beer, I really enjoyed the wilder side of my life. Now, I'm married; I've got a kid. The reason I think things are not as much about road-tripping and swilling beer is because I'm not road-tripping as much or swilling as much beer."
Grammy grumbling: Green ruffled Nashville feathers in January when he received two Grammy nominations, including a best-country-song nomination for single Three Days, which barely made the top 40. One Nashville label chief called the local Recording Academy head into his office, asking for an explanation of the nominations.
Singing a different tune: Green says he's enjoying the success of Wave on Wave, but radio's not the focus of his career. "The goal for our band is to kind of be a country Widespread Panic or String Cheese Incident," he says. "The real way that a band makes money is by selling tickets — putting butts in the seats and selling T-shirts. That's how we will make a living."
Higher education: Green spoke at his college alma mater's graduation ceremonies this year. He says: "The last line in that speech was, 'There's always room for a couple of beers.' "

... which it started. I have been spraying on average 1.5 times per day with about a 50% hit rate. The misses have all been due to long distance rather than missed aim. Once I was so surprised by 3 big Rottweilers that I couldn't even reach for the spray so could only yell.

The labMature
I walk into the hospital my green jacket soaking wet. The weather outside was next to horrible. High winds , heavy rain. To top things off the line to the desk is really long.
"Gotta like squamish weather eh?" A man says behind me.
" Yup absolutely love it." I say sarcastically.
About 10 minutes later I finaly reach the front desk and hand the woman a simple paper saying blood test.
" Have you eaten anything?" She asks.
" No Ma'am."
" Birth date?"
" May 3 1994."
" Okay take this and put it in the folder holder over there." She points , and I do as I'm told.I put the folder into the folder holder noticing there is not to many folders ahead of mine.
" Oh this won't take to long." I say to myself. Then sit close to the lab door.
Not to far along one person walks out the door , with a long coat and rather unforgettable looking jaw line becauase of how visable the jaw bones wear. shortly afterwards Another man walks out with an odd combination his head was dark but his bear orange. I knew it wasn't dyed because that would make his skin orange as well. The nurses don't call anyone in and I know this place just opened and this waiting room was begining to fill. "I wonder what they could be possibly be doing in there?" I ask my self. I wait pehaps another few minutes when the door opens agian.
Wait where could this person have just come from no one other than the nurses, and doctors could have been in there? I dismissed the question quickly though as It could have just been that I didn't see him go in. A nurse calls in an other person. I should be up after the next person. I think. I turn down to my newspaper when I hear the door open agian. Another person walks through with something that looks rather familiar but I couldn't put a finger on it. Okay this getting strange. four people have gone in this lab which has just opened. No one else has gone in, where the smeg did this other person appear from?
This little dilemma was begining to interesting so I drop the newspaper and keep a watchful eye on the lab door. Some time passes by and another familiar looking person comes out followed by another person. Wait the lab should be empty if this was a math eqaution that lab should be negative two people now. A nurse calls a few people at a time to go in. I quitely protested to myself.
" Wait I should be goo.... must have gotten bumped. Oh well thats just more boring math to miss." I say out loud
I sit and watch the lab door eagerly, and suddenly see that same familliar jaw line and bear , hair issue. Did they just clone a person from to people? No I've got to be insane. I wiped my eyes and pinched my self and went to take another look but the man was gone. Must be seeing things thats all. Suddenly the four people from ealier leave. Okay then where did that extra man come from. Maybe there is another enterance. This was messing with my head so I had to ask.
" Hey is there another enterance for patients to enter the lab?" I ask.
" Nope."
Now I was severly confused. More people began to rapidly leave the lab and quickl I came to a conclusion. They are creating clones or they are teleporting people because these people are coming from an unknown source. I'm called in they take two blood samples , and try to push me out the door. I could hear voices around the corner. I left the hospital with some strange conclusions in my head. As I drive out of the lot I look at the front of the lot , and see the answer.

Very sketchy, but Rezko isn't a happy camper and has been singing like a bird. Via the Chicago Trib:
"Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a convicted influence peddler who was once one of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's most trusted confidants, has met with federal prosecutors and is considering cooperating in the corruption probe of the governor's administration, sources told the Tribune.
Rezko's possible change of heart—after years of steadfast refusal—has sent ripples through a tight circle of prominent defense attorneys who represent dozens of potential witnesses and targets in the wide-ranging probe.
His cooperation would give prosecutors investigating the governor and his wife access to someone they have described as an ultimate political insider at the center of a pervasive pay-to-play scheme.
Rezko's trial this year laid bare a culture of scams, bribes and backroom deals stretching from City Hall to the Statehouse. It even became fodder in the presidential campaign of Democratic nominee Barack Obama, whose fundraising and personal ties to Rezko go back more than a decade.
Rezko has made no deal in the wake of his June corruption conviction, sources familiar with the situation said, but has had preliminary talks with prosecutors before an October sentencing that could put him in prison for years. Still, there are indications Rezko has already provided investigators with information.
Four attorneys have told the Tribune in recent days that federal prosecutors have telephoned them and other attorneys either with news Rezko is talking, or armed with details only Rezko could know. The lawyers speculated prosecutors are using the preliminary talks with Rezko to shake loose more cooperation from other witnesses.
"I had very recent a conversation with an assistant U.S. attorney that led me to believe they were getting specific information from either Mr. Rezko or Mr. Rezko's lawyer," said a defense attorney who said he represents a figure in the case. None of the attorneys interviewed would agree to be quoted by name, saying they didn't want to hurt their clients.
The U.S. attorney's office in Chicago declined to comment, as did Rezko's attorney William Ziegelmueller."
Hard to tell exactly what Rezko is talking about. The feds want Blagojevich, and the prosecutor's office has been leaning towards reopening queries into Rezko and Obama according to several sources with knowledge of the dealings.
It looks like Rezko was looking to have "friends" get him out of jail and now feels "screwed" and that's a bad place for him to be for his acquaintances and friends from the past.

Alicia Spinnet rolled her eyes as she sat at the long table out on the Quidditch Pitch. The sky was a beautiful blue and the breeze that was blowing across the stadium sent a shiver down her spine. Glancing to either side of her she gave a slight smile to her friends Angelina and Katie. They had been undergoing a bit of trouble ever since Harry had that incident at the last game, and now it was up to them to find a replacement seeker just in case they decided to boot Harry from the team.
"Alright, this weekend is the game against Slytherin and that team always brings it, so we need to find someone with extra special seeker spirit. "
" Bring what Alicia?" Katie cocked her eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders.
" What?" Alicia snapped back, her forehead scrunching up the slightest. God how she absolutely hated how everyone was so inferior to her. They should definitely raise the standards of Hogwarts and send only those worthy.
"What exactly is 'it'? Angelina chimed in from her other side.
" 'It' is just what they bring ok…" Rolling her eyes again she let out a deep breath and propped her chin in her hand. " Now back on to more important business. Next!!"
There was a murmur in the crowd and a petite blonde headed girl poked through the crowd and waved politely at the girls.
"Hi! I'm Mary Sue and it's simply swell to meet you. " Her mouth stretched out into a large smile and she waved again.
" Can you at just show us your moves?" Alicia yawned and began filing her nails.
"Oh you betcha!" Grabbing a broom from the floor she swung her legs over the side and began to push from the ground until she jerked forward violently. " Shit-lip-fag-sucker…" the words flew from her mouth in such a rapid speed that the three girls stared at her in awe.
"What was that?" Alicia nearly choked out.
"Oh, that.." Sandy let out a giggle, " that was my turettes.."
"I don't think she is safe to fly Alicia…" Katie began.
"Don't you tell me what to do Bell…remember this is not a Quid-ocracy….I'm the Quid-tator! " Looking over the other few people that were standing there Alicia tapped her quill to her chin.
"Come-on-stick-a-finger-in-my-ass…shit-face…" Sandy bit her lower lip.
Alicia sighed and then slammed her book shut. Pointing to Sandy with her quill she gave a nod. " She'll Quid-do…"
Dean and Neville stared skeptically at Seamus as they hoisted themselves up into the the air vents of the school. It wasn't as though they didn't want to see the half naked girls hit each other with feather pillows, it was just that they didn't think that this plan of Seamus' would work out so well. After all the last plan they followed of his had them serving a weeks worth of detention helping McGonagall give some elders sponge baths at the Retirement Home for Witches and Wizards. Neville shuddered as that thought shot through his mind.
"Hey Seamus, mate, you sure this is a good idea?" Neville bit his lower lip and shimmied through the vents with his two pals.
"Of course I'm sure this is a good idea. You two just wait. Once we can look down into the girls dormitories you'll be thanking me like I was Merlin or something." Seamus smirked and looked over his shoulder at Neville.
"Don't be frontin with us Seamus. If you screw this up I'll bust a cap in your ass." Dean let out a frustrated groan and glanced down through the vent below him. "Hey! Guys…jackpot…"
Below Lavender and Parvati giggled wildly as they emerged from the bathroom. Wrapped in towels. Lavender tossed her long blonde hair carelessly over her shoulder and Parvati just let out another fit of laughter.
"You need to stop laughing Parv, someone may suspect something. " Lavender grinned.
"Well, I can't help it Lav. Sometimes your body just sends shivers down my spine." Parvati grabbed her stomach in hysterics.
"Well it wont be happening again Parv." Lavender opened up the door and left with a giggling Parvati at her heels.
Above them a disappointed trio of boys let out a groan. "Bloody hell, we missed it." Seamus pounded his fist on the metal vent and cursed under his breath. "Come on, lets move to a different vent."
Shuffling through the narrow passage, Seamus felt his excitement grow as he heard muffled noises coming from the nearing vent.
"Oh, look a chocolate frog…" Neville called from the rear of the group.
Dean shook his head with disapproval but his mind quickly veered in another direction once they looked into the new vent.
"Oh Merlin! That's McGonagall….and Snape! They are totally snogging!" Seamus squeaked out, trying desperately to suppress his laughter.
"Oh man, check that out. I don't know whether to be disgusted or root on old Snapey!" Dean slapped Seamus on the back and grinned.
"This really isn't so bad for two old people. I didn't know McGonagall could move like that." Neville chimed in, taking a bite out of the chocolate frog he found in the vent.
"Oh Severus, take me now. Show me the wild manticore that breathes inside of you!" McGonagall wailed.
The boys bit back on their tongues and nearly died with laughter. "This is by far the best day of my life…" Seamus managed to blurt out through his laughing.
"I know…I know…" Neville rolled onto his back and slapped at the side of the vent. A squeaking noise softly echoed through the space and Neville ceased his laughing. "Hey, did you guys hear that?"
"Hear what, my man?" Dean coughed out before the vent holding them lurched. " What the- " The vent lurched again and the boys yelped.
"Minerva, do you hear that?" Snape pulled back from her for a brief moment before glancing up at the ceiling.
"Hear what, Sevie-poo?" McGonagall batted her eyelashes and tilted her face towards the ceiling.
Unfortunately at the same moment the entire vent came crashing through the ceiling spilling out the three boys in front of the professors. Each of them looked up sheepishly, their faces a deep shade of red.
"My word! " McGonagall screamed. " Detention! Detention! Detention! " She wiped her brow, and picked up her robe from the floor. "And if any of you boys spill a word of this I'll send you straight to Azkaban!" She stormed out..
"Not before I practice my unforgivable curses on you first." Snape turned towards the door but paused for a brief moment. Turning back to the boys he scowled. " Detention will be served with me tonight. I expect you to be at my chambers no later then 7. " Turning on his heel he stormed out of the room.
Dean and Neville stared at each other for a few minutes before slowly turning towards Seamus. Oh there would be hell to pay before detention tonight.
Harry took a long look at himself in the mirror on his wall. Oh why was he blessed with such dashing good looks? Sometimes he just couldn't believe he was so devilishly handsome. Yet that wasn't the real reason he was in his room, Sirius had promised to send an owl and Harry had a few questions he would like answered. One in particular being how in the hell he was going to capture Hermiones heart and turn her into a prom, queen.
"Think Potter, think…" Harry began to pace his dorm room. " What could possibly be done to show Hermione that I am a decent guy?"
Ginny Weasley took a deep breath as she stood outside Harry's dormitory door. She had dazzled herself up a bit more then usual, but she had to admit she looked pretty cut in the green dress she bought last summer. After all a little cleavage never hurt anyone. Especially the male gender in particular.
Smoothing out her dress again she closed her eyes and firmly knocked on the door. She knew he was inside, only because she had followed him casually throughout the day.
"Harry? Hello Harry are you in there?" She heard a murmur and squealed with excitement as she heard the door handle begin to turn. "Harry I- oomph " Ginny squeaked again as she fell back on the floor.
Harry on the other hand blew right by Ginny without even noticing her. He was far to caught up in the brand new plan he had thought up. He was going to make Hermione his, and then the bet would surly be in his hands.
