In December 2008, Sports of Boston launched the first SoB Awards Show, issuing awards to those involved with Boston sports for their exceptional performance in the year 2008. The Sports of Boston staff continued this tradition in every year since, now voting in three categories for the year 2012: Story of the Year, Game of the Year and Player of the Year.
In late August, with the waiver-wire deadline looming, the Red Sox completed a massive trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Boston dumped the salaries of Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett, none of whom were close to living up to expectations. With about $275,000,000 saved, the Red Sox were free to pursue other names that could help, once the season finally ended mercifully, that is.
Now, the Sox used some of that flexibility to sign Shane Victorino for the outfield, Ryan Dempster on the mound and are currently working on a first baseman, if not Mike Napoli, then maybe Adam LaRoche. There are plenty of other kinks to work out, but with the money to spend and several toxic contracts off the books, Boston should at least be better than they were with all the problems they had last year.
The thrilling series between the Celtics and Heat got plenty of choices here and there, but what's more thrilling than when the Patriots just tear through a supposedly elite team? Houston was already anointed as the AFC's top seed, but took a stumble against the Patriots, losing 42-14. That eventually led to New England getting a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs, which is always useful. More importantly, New England showed that they could hang with the best teams in the league. They affirmed it the following week during a furious comeback attempt against San Francisco.
As a result of New England's drubbing of Houston, they've set up a rematch in the divisional round, assuming Houston halts their slide and beats Cincinnati. Next up would likely be a trip to Denver for another AFC title game between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. The Patriots are doing well, but another Super Bowl wouldn't be nearly as possible if New England hadn't proved that they can beat up on a rough team like Houston.
In the only unanimous selection among Sob staff for the end-of-year festivities, New England's star quarterback gets the nod for yet another masterful season. Brady led the Patriots to a 12-4 record and the #2 seed in the AFC. Over the course of the season, Brady threw for 4,827 yards, 34 touchdowns and just eight picks.
New England's offense is often known for carrying the team, and it all starts with Tom Brady. His poise is astounding, and he knows how to get things done on the field. The Patriots certainly wouldn't be where they are without Tom Brady, and he is very much deserving of the honor he receives. And hopefully, the team is poised to make another championship run.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
You need to review Georgia's first offender law.
As you can see, the first offender program prevents you from being convicted of any crime. This is conditioned upon you successfully completing a probationary program of approximately one year (which could also include restitution, public service, and fines of up to $1000). If you were to fail at probation you could serve up to one year in jail, however I don't see that as a real risk for you. You seem to be very concerned about this matter which indicates you will do quite well on probation.
You have not ruined your life. Make finding a good lawyer a priority and get them to work on setting up this deal for you. While pretrial remedial measures (such as counseling, education, etc) can be good, your first priority must be obtaining good representation that can help you minimize the damage done by this mistake.

" An insight to the Polish kitchen. "
The French live to eat, the Poles eat to live. Food is thought to be a failure unless plentiful - nouvelle cuisine would never get past a Pole. Polish food was designed to be filling. It took account of the cold, hard winters and sheer physical energy expended in daily living. The climate is still the same, but office life is decidely less calorie intensive than tilling the soil and gathering the harvest. Most traditional Polish cooking was heavy on preparation time as well as on the stomach, but doctors are busy explaining how heavy it is on the heart, too, and meals are finally shrinking.
Old Polish culinary tastes stem from an intermingling of cultures - heartland Polish, Oriental, French, Italian, German and Jewish; they grew out of the coexistence for centuries of many nationalities within the frameowrk of one state. In the late 15th century overseas explorations brought a turning point in the mentality of Europeans and trade expanded massively. 16th century Poland was a rich and culturally highgly-developed country. It was this century that saw the origins of contemporary culinary traditions, although it saw the duality in Polish cuisine. It is this mixture of Old Polish cuisine with the foreign influences which by various routes achieved primacy for a time in fashionable society before finally blending with the earlier traditions to produce what we call today 'traditional Polish cuisine.'
Along with the Swiss, the Italians also laid the foundations of Polish confectionery. Under Oriental influence, spices became widespread in Polish cuisine, giving a special taste to everyday fare. The east left in Polish cuisine buckwheat, poppy seed, sorbets (frozen fruit juice), dried fruit and nuts, confitures or in other words fruit cooked in honey, nougat, makagigi (cake made of honey, poppy seed, nuts and almonds), halva.
Eastern ways of preparing meat were also retained in Polish cuisine: marinating, chopping, shashliks (similar to a kebab), beef tartare; cooking with dried fruit and pickled vegetables. Christmas Eve almond soup, koutia and poppyseed twists are also left overs from the Orient. And the general habit of eating 'peppery and saffrony' was not driven out until the end of the 18th century.
Following the French, Polish cooking began to place more emphasis on varying the diet, on decorating serving dishes, on the delicate flavours of the dishes themselves; new techniques and methods of preparation and cooking were also introduced. The Polish diet began to include stuffings, pates, pies, broths and jellies (aspics). New seasonings began to be used: truffles, capers, anchovies. New terms also appeared : blanching, stuffing, baking, glazing, battering, larding, marinating.
The restaurant business, which began to develop from the 19th century, brought French cuisine into the homes of the Polish aristocracy. It was restaurants that spread the fashion for French cuisine. Jewish cooking also had a great influence on Polish cuisine and fused into Polish cookery over the centuries - due to the fact that Poles and Jews coexisted in Poland from the times of Casmir the Great onwards - and left permanent traces in ways of cooking goose, herring and other fish. Jewish dishes that survive include halka, goose pipes (stuffed goose necks), cabbage with sultanas and many fish dishes.
The partitioning of Poland had a major influence on Polish cuisine. The least influence can be seen in the Russian partition zone, where dislike of Tsarist rule discouraged the adoption of Russian dishes; the cuisine of the Posnan region took over a great deal from German cooking: pig's hock, cakes using yeast; and Krakow and Galician cookery is a mishmash of Hungarian cuisine (with Turkish and Balkan influences) and Austrian cuisine: pepper, aubergines, mamalyga or Hungarian goulash.
Late 19th century cuisine was not very different from what we know at the moment; the only possible differences are in the proportions of fruit and vegetables to meat.
Breakfast, taken at an ungodly hour because work starts early, is a selection of cold cuts of meat with bread and coffee. 'Second breakfast' is whatever you can get away with at work; usually another coffee and a sandwich at your desk, and if your desk happens to be in the front office of a bank, you munch in public view. Work finishes around 5 o'clock, and the main meal of the day, obiad (dinner), is eaten as soon after transport home allows. Soups as a first course are obligatory and substantial and look as if they should be tackled with knife and fork. The most famous is Barszcz, or beetroot. Rosol (chicken soup), as in the Jewish tradition, is said to be more than a soup, it is the medical and psychological equivalent of the English cup of tea.
For the second course, 'meat and two veg' is the norm - pork, beef, chicken, but not lamb. The Poles equate sheep with mutton, which they declare smells. The alternative main course is pasta: dishes like pierogi, triangular sweet or savoury ravioli, known throughout Europe and universally, though wrongly, translated as dumplings.
Kolacja (cold cuts), the last meal of the day, eaten any time between 6pm and midnight, depends on the sleeping (or otherwise) habits of the family. Like breakfast, it consists mainly of bread, cheese and cold meats. This is not as monotonous as it sounds for Poles have a bewildering variety of cold meats. They will smoke anything, and have as many varieties of sausage and hams as the French have cheeses.
The Poles love cheese too and produce many and smoke some. The unique native cheese, oscypek, doubles as folk art - diamond shaped with a folksy pattern embossed on it. It comes in two forms - soft and fresh, like dehydrated curd cheese with a salty tang, or hard and grateable, not unlike parmesan. They also market a vast range of creams, especially soured: for soups, desserts and sauces. Think of a culinary need and Poland produces a cream to fit.
Of traditional dishes bigos is usually rendered on menus as hunters' stew. Historically, bigos was made in a cauldron over a camp fire in the middle of a forest in winter. Hunters would arrive with a pot of sauerkraut and, adding to it whatever they had managed to bag, simmer it for several days, interrupting the process with spells of cooling it in the snow. Today a low hotplate replaces the camp fire and the fridge makes do for the snowy winters but two days cooking is still the recommended minimum and usually cooked by the eldest male (usually the husband) of the house. This is a good way waking up jaded appetites on the third day of Christmas, and one of the best disguises for turkey left overs.
The Poles pickle things - a throw back to long, hard winters before refrigerators - gherkins, beetroot, cabbage, onions, mushrooms, anything. Most cooks have an atavistic urge to pickle something come the autumn. And if they don't pickle it, they preserve it in alcohol. Traditional Polish herbs are parsley, marjoram, bay leaves and masses of dill. Polish pickles are exported all over the world and now everyone has learned that pickled cucumbers taste better with a sprig of dill in the bottle. Everyone except me that is. I loved gherkins until I came to live here - I think the dill actually spoils the taste and I prefer the way the French prepare them by using garlic and black peppercorns.
Supermarkets now offer a dazzling variety of seasonings and there is every sign that the next generation of Poles will grow up believing, along with other young Europeans, that curry is their traditional national dish. However, the Polish fight-back campaign is in place, with a marketing strategy so effective that Polish food is now available all over the world. Kabanos (pencil thin sausage) or bigos could be set to become the new curry.
Polish snails are not eaten, but collected and then packed off to France for the French to eat, a superior way of throwing them over the garden fence.
Compotes and cakes feature heavily, especially a sort of Swiss roll filled not with jam but with ground poppy seeds mixed with dried fruit (figs, dates, raisins) and honey.
Fish, when it makes an appearance, is either pickled (herrings) or freshwater: carp, pike, salmon, trout. Though the Polish fleet is one of the largest in the world, Poles have never quite taken to the fruits of the sea. When the government tried a poster campaign to overcome this, their slogan 'Eat Cod' acquired the graffiti: 'S... tastes even worse.' Charming!
The fruits of the forest, however, are held in high esteem. Berries and mushrooms of all sorts are collected avidly, and the most urbane of city people will know their nuts (pardon the expression). If you get marooned on a desert island, choose a Pole as your companion and you will never go hungry.
Drinking and Toasts
Breakfast coffee in many countries is a weak and milky affair. Not so in Poland where it consists of a generous spoonful of ground coffee heaped into a glass of boiling water. If your spoon does not stand up on its own, it is a failure. Exeperience teaches you when to stop sipping, just before you swallow the grounds.
Tea is also taken without milk, served with lemon in a glass specially designed to ensure that you burn your fingers. Tea with milk is known as 'Bavarian' and considered only fit for breast feeding mothers.
Vodka used to be consumed at home, which was only fair since much of it was brewed there. A child's chemistry set, described on the box as 'The Little Chemist,' is still known as 'The Little Brewer'. However the bars and pubs springing up in even the smallest towns are tempting many to wine and dine alfresco and in public.
Vodka is divided into two types: dry and clear for the man, theoretically at least (and this includes Bison vodka with the blade of grass in it), and sweet for the ladies. Beware Polish liquors! They are usually 40+% and drunk undiluted: firewater. The women might be seen to be sweeter toothed, but their head's have to be just as strong as the men's.
Technicoloured sweet vodka's can be made of virtually anything: ripe morello cherries, honey, nuts, lemon, hot chilli peppers. There is even one with bits of gold floating in it. Those Poles who do buy their vodka in a shop often doctor it at home and create delicious home-made liquors. These are generally made with a base of Polish pure spirit, 90%, 180 proof, the nearest to pure alcohol possible, and the strongest drink known to man. Avoid drinking this neat without prior instruction and a soft landing.
The methodology of drinking is in tiny cut-crystal glasses, drained in one gulp, after a toast, and usually, sensibly, accompanied by lots of food. The Pole, who invited home by an Englishman, sent his host's treasured Waterford flying into the two bar electric fire is apocryphal. Poles hang on to their glasses to ensure refills.
Rounds of toasts usually start with the health of the hosts, followed by the health of the guests, followed by the health of the beautiful ladies, and the handsome gents, then bachelor days. After that, tradition leaves each dinner party to its own devices. The uninventive can always continue with endless repetitions of the formula, and toast " The health of the guests" for the ninth time - for as long as they have stength to lift the glass.
So that's my little story about Polish food and drink but before I go I will leave you with a list of food to try out - you can probably buy some of these items in the UK.
Soup - Keep your eyes peeled for two of Poland's favourite soups.
Zurek (sour rye soup with sausages and potatoes floating in it) and Barszcz (beetroot, occasionally with dumplings thrown in). Feel free to dunk your bread rolls into it. Marks - 2/10 Disgusting!
Bigos - You'll either love it or hate it. Hunters stew is made using meat, cabbage, onion and sauerkraut. If you have second helpings then consider yourself a Pole by default. Marks 10/10 Excellent.
Golabki - Boiled cabbage leaves stuffed with beef, onion and rice before being baked in a tomato sauce. Marks 9/10 Delicious but be warned can give you heartburn.
Pierogi - pockets of dough traditionally filled with meat, cabbage or cheese but you can sometimes find other fillings like strawberries . 5/10 - Not a fan.
Smalec - fried lard, often served complimentary before a meal with hunks of homemade bread. You should eat this with a mug of ale as it is meant to keep the cold out. - I can't really mark the lard as there is no way you will get me to eat lard so I will mark it 10/10 for the ale. Polish beer rocks!
Kielbasa - sausages and here in Poland you will find several varieties made primarily with pork but sometimes using turkey and lamb. My favourite is Krakowska which is a Krakow speciality which uses pepper and garlic. Marks 10/10 Delicious.
A little added info - Kielbasa was also the nickname of one of Poland's notorious gangland figures of the 90's.
Zapiekanki - also known as Polish pizza. It consists of a baguette with melted cheese and then covered in mushrooms. It is then grilled and usually covered in tomato ketchup. I can eat these all the time - delicious and marks out of ten -10/10
My Summary
When I first moved to Poland I was very enthusiastic about trying the food and I often used to come home with food I had never eaten before or perhaps would not have even contemplated eating in UK. Then I went trhough a stage of not eating any and sulking because I missed my 'treats' and food I liked. I thought all Polish food was pickled or smoked and revolting. Now 12 months on I actually eat a lot of Polish dishes and I am happy with most of the flavours. I like some of the meats and cheeses although I think English cheddars are much tastier. Polish bread is terrific and there are so many different varieties to choose from. Polish beer I love and can drink it by the gallon. However, I can't say the same about vodka. Three small glasses and I feel as though my brain has been removed. I avoid it as much as possible which is very difficult as there is always a celebration somewhere. I would say in general that the tastes aren't very subtle and a lot of the food is stodgy so my recommendation is not to eat too much and if you don't like vinegar then you are in trouble. Good Luck!

Last Syrian vineyard keeps wine flowing despite war
By Oliver Holmes
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Amid the war in Syria, one hillside vineyard still produces wines that are served in the Michelin-starred restaurants of London and Paris.
It has been a struggle to keep Syria's last commercial vineyard open, the owner of Domaine de Bargylus says. The war, which started in 2011, has engulfed the whole country, and militias on both sides fight in every province.
Sandro Saade and his brother Karim, Christians with family roots in Syria and neighboring Lebanon, planted grape vines on the tree-lined peaks of the Mediterranean province of Latakia in 2003, two millennia after the Romans used the same slopes for their own wineries. Bargylus' first vintage was in 2006.
Syria's rebel forces - a mixture of hardline Islamists and other groups seeking to end the dynastic rule of President Bashar al-Assad - are in Latakia and started taking ground last year. Some of these groups have forbidden alcohol in areas they control but Bargylus vineyard has stayed in government-held territory throughout the conflict.
Syrian wineries were largely small-scale operations, often located at churches and monasteries and meant for local consumption. Syrian Christians made up 10 percent of the pre-war population of 22 million people, but that figure has fallen sharply amid the violence, and wine production has dwindled too.
There have been a few scares at the Bargylus winery. Last August, Assad's forces and rebels battled clashed about 100 meters from the farm. Several explosions hit the vines, but there was minimal damage and the fighting has since retreated.
"We've been lucky that the conflict is not very close," Sandro Saade said from Lebanon's capital, Beirut. "Compared to other regions of Syria, we haven't had the conflict permanently installed next to our properties."

Tales of an Ugly 29 **Now with photos**
About a month ago i decided i wanted a fish tank again. so i went all over town looking for a 15 or 20 starter kit, i ended up at some [censored][censored][censored][censored] hole saltwater store, where the guy offered me a used 29gal (30'x12'x18 1/2')with every thing but sand and fish. so began my journey.
my first purchase was a Rangeri sword, a Gold Gourami(no name yet), a dwarf Blue gourami(no name yet), and a Blue ram (rufio).
a week later i bought a couple red lava rocks (super exciting right?) and a water sprite(Yeah! i'm really rocking now)
over the next few weeks i bought more plants that have no idea what they are called, and more fish.
i so far have bought 3 flower shrimp. two suicided out of the tank because i was over feeding flake food and brought my nitrates up waaaay to high. so no i have one, who is currently lost in my tank somewhere.
i have become a shrimp addict and after mass genocide on my first batch of cherry shrimp( i turned off one of my pumps, for a few hours because i have two rated each rated for up 20 gal) and as it turns out shrimp like to crawl inside things. so when i turned on my pump again shrimp soup filled my tank. it was sad. so i bought more. currently i have about 15 cherry shrimp, one bamboo flower shrimp, a few ghost shrimp, and i jst picked up 4 blackcherry shrimp last night.
i noticed rufio looked a little lonely so i got another blue ram (tink). i also got a 3 neon zebra danios(the three stooges) and two dwarf Cichlids (blue and yellows).
then i began feed frozen foods, spirilina brine shrimp and bloodworms. it turns out that these foods make gold gouramis go all aggressive on your ass. he ran that tank, my dwarf blue started bleeding color and never left a tiny corner unless he was being chased. everyonemostly hid from the gold. so back to the store he went. i traded him for some plants, waaay less aggressive.
i have photos of my tank in my profile, they are already a little outdated cus my tank changes once or twice a week. i get bored.
Aquatic Delight is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message
currently i have one of my Rams in a quarantine tank,
My female ram has been in the tank longer than my male. after i took the Gold Gourami back to fish store and replaced him with plants a shrimp my male Ram started bulling my female. I borrowed a 10gal tank form a buddy and put thebully in for a couple days, then i'm going to re-introduce, and pray it works.
is a 29 gal to small for 2 german blue rams?
(i'm assuming my female is the ram with the red/pink belly and the male has blue belly, i think i have it correct)
Females typically have pink bellies and 29 gallons should be fine for a pair.
females also have a shorter dorsal fin(i think thats the name for the top fin that runs along their spin) right?
So an Update to the tank.
I have none of the original cast of fish, my ram, my dwarf gourami both died, and my Gold Gourami was sent back to my LFS because he became super aggressive.
currently the tank contains
3 bamboo shrimp(one is massive you should see him here http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...oo-shrimp.html)
2 or 3 amanos
a couple RCS
1 Blackberry shrimp
1 vampire shrimp that I haven't seen since i put him in the tank,
1 apistogramma borelli
2 penguin tetras
3 neon zaebra danos
4 red eye Koi Swords
1 albino cory cat
1 leopard cory cat
1 Green aeneus cory
1 reticulated Hillstream loach
1 Zebra Nerite Snail
Nice tank
thanks lol, it looks nothing like that now, i was wondering through my photo bucket to see if i had any newer photos, and sadly i don't. so when i get home i'll take a few to put up.
well the tank has changed again lol. i lost a bamboo shrimp, i forgot to include my male GBR on the original list, he is gone too(as of yesterday), i sent him back to the fish store because he started to bully my female Apisto. and i forgot to list my 2 rummy nose tetras. i also bought blue pearl shrimp for my shrimp tank so half of the RCS went into this tank and the other half went into my Peacock grudeon tank.
currently the tank contains
2 bamboo shrimp(one is massive you should see him here http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...oo-shrimp.html)
2 amanos
8 RCS(or so)
1 Blackberry shrimp
1 vampire shrimp that I haven't seen since i put him in the tank,
2 apistogramma borelli (1 male 1 female)
2 penguin tetras
3 neon zaebra danos
4 red eye Koi Swords
1 albino cory cat
1 leopard cory cat
1 Green aeneus cory
1 reticulated Hillstream loach
1 Zebra Nerite Snail
2 rummy nose tetras
this photo is the most current one i have, and in a week or so there will be a new piece of wood in the tank (in my cabomba forest) as soon as i get all the tannins out.
here is my peacock grudeon tank if your curious
a New Chapter
So i was lucky enough to win a wonder RAOK from wasserpest, that included bolbitis. you can see it here .
anyways so there was on thing i wanted to try to before the plants came in. so i did it. and for two days i liked it. you see i have begun to really enjoy hillstream loachs and i have upped my tank number from 1 to 5 in the past couple weeks. so i have been trying to create something that works for both my hillstreams and my Apistogramma borellies.
my package came in yesterday, so i spent the day tearing down the tank and putting in the new plants.
it took me about 5 hours to do it, i had to stop a few times and feed myself, and take care of my cats, but here it is now.
i'm not sure how much i like the set up, but i am open to suggestions. i switched from running one dual t5no light with 18 watt bulbs. i am thinking that i will need a second set-up of similar lights on it. but i'm not sure if that will be to much light.
i took out the kohaku koi swordtails they had become to food aggressive and i was worried the other fish were suffering, they are going to a friend with space in a 55gal. I moved my cory juli and my new panda cory to my shrimp tank to help clean it up.
anyway the actual fish counts are as follows
4 Apistogramma borellies (3 female 1 male)
5 Reticulated Hillsteam Loachs
3 neon zebra danos
2 Penguin Tetras
2 Rummy Nose Tetras
2 Corys (1 aneus 1 Albino)
8 full grown RCS (a few juvies unsure how many)
1 Ghost Shrimp

Looks great! Just let it clear up a bit and grow in and You might have to change your title! :biggrin:
Looks very good now, definitely let it grow in before changing things.
Nice tank :icon_wink
If I were to offer anything I would say get rid of a few of your schooling fish, and up the numbers. I have seen much changes. Here is a related thread- http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=88725
probably have a lot less stress & problems if you have less variety, more fish.
Otherwise, nice.

Justin Bieber's Purpose world tour officially kicks off in Seattle today. Ahead of the first show, we got an exclusive look at the tour merch that will be sold at all venues and online.
The Purpose tour merch is a bit of a departure from what we've seen from Bieber in the past, but it definitely falls in line with his current personal style. The merch was inspired by vintage concert tees and today's skate and street cultures. Hoodies, tees, crewneck sweatshirts, a sleeveless shirt, and a baseball shirt in black, white, and grey are emblazoned with various graphics such as "World Tour" in Old English Gothic style calligraphy, portraits of Bieber, "Purpose World Tour" in a font reminiscent of the one used in metal tees, and an image of a cross—appropriate given Bieber's newly found spirituality. There are also a few outerwear pieces to round it all out—a coaches jacket, denim jacket, bomber jacket, and a camo jacket.
"We wanted to obviously continue to communicate to JB's core fan base, but also appeal to his new followers," a source close to the camp told Complex. "We wanted to make something they would wear and stuff [Justin] would wear, too. We believe JB's story of redemption and purpose is bigger than what's happening currently in culture, and we wanted to create something that would complement his message."
The merch will be available at PURPOSETOURMERCH.COM and at the shows. If you don't have tickets yet, there are still a few on Ticketmaster.

Genevieve Sabourin called actor Alec Baldwin a "professional charmer"
as the Canadian actress insisted the two had been engaged in a romantic and sexual relationship.
who was found guilty on Thursday of stalking Baldwin and sentenced to six months in jail
, took the stand in a New York City courtroom to defend herself against allegations that she was stalking Baldwin. The actress, who first met Baldwin in 2000, says the star began to flirt with her while he was still married to actress Kim Basinger.
"He was very warm, very flirtatious, very nice, but very married, so I never called him," Sabourin said of their encounter at that time. She claims that the two met for a tryst years later, in February 2010, saying Baldwin told her he "wanted to wake up every morning next to her and make her an omelet every day for the rest of her life."
"I love omelets," she went on, breaking down in tears. "I don't know how he knew that."
The actress claimed that Baldwin gave her an email address to contact him after they slept together, but ceased contact when he began dating his current wife, Hilaria Baldwin. Sabourin's lawyer maintained that the actress continued to contact Baldwin because she was seeking closure.
Meanwhile, video footage of the actress' April arrival at Baldwin's Manhattan apartment has been revealed, showing the actress stalking around the building's foyer, holding her dog. Apartment staff say Baldwin did not want to see Sabourin at that time, and later called police to have her arrested.
Baldwin testified on Tuesday that he had dinner with Sabourin once, at the behest of his friend Martin Bregman, whose mistress Sabourin was at the time. He called his experience being harassed by the Canadian bit-part actress "nightmarish," breaking down and crying on the witness stand when he recalled how Sabourin ruined the day he proposed to Hilaria.
Sabourin was charged with attempted aggravated harassment, stalking, attempted criminal contempt and harassment.

Baldwin Heights to get $100,000 grant as soon as next week
GREENVILLE — It was a tip from a teacher who avidly watches The Ellen DeGeneres Show that led to Baldwin Heights Elementary School receiving a $100,000 grant from Target.
"(The Target representative) had to tell me six times over the phone that this was not a joke, that our elementary school really won," said Michael Walsh, Baldwin Heights Elementary School principal.
Walsh said the teacher had seen the information from The Ellen DeGeneres Show where viewers were asked to submit the name of a school along a compelling story explaining why they felt the school should received the grant from Target.
After reading up on the information, Walsh said he did not hesitate to apply.
"I thought it would be a fun opportunity and the money would give us opportunities that the budget could cover," he said. "It feels like we won the lottery."
In order to tell the staff members at Baldwin Heights, Walsh said he announced there was going to be an emergency staff meeting, but did not say much more until everyone was together.
He slowly told the staff that he applied and was officially told the school had been selected to win the grant money.
"They looked excited, but they did not know how much we were getting," Walsh said. "When I told them it was for $100,000 they went crazy."
The school could see the money as soon as next week, Walsh said, but has not received the official word of when or how the money will be presented to the school.
According to a press release from Target, the grant is to be used to purchase resources to improve the school's learning environment.
Walsh said he wants to work with the community to decide how the money is spent.
"I want a team of staff members, parents and students to have an input," Walsh said. "It's a community effort."
Walsh said he knows putting a team together to discuss how the money should be spent will take a lot of time, but said it is the right thing to do.
"It's very important to me," he said.
Although there were 48 individual schools and two more school districts that received a $100,000 grant from Target, Baldwin Heights was the only school in Michigan that was selected.
He said while writing the description to submit to the show, he could only use 2,500 words.
Walsh said he believes it was the staff and their description of what they do that got the school the grant.
"We have a special kind of staff and their story is what put us over the top," Walsh said. "They continue to impact the kinds in ways we have never seen before. I couldn't be more thrilled about it."

Upai Semaring
About one thousand years ago, the name Upai Semaring was very famous and was acknowledged by the ethnic Lundayeh community as a warrior and a hero. Possessing extraordinary abilities he had a very huge body that resembled the people of the olden days. Upai Semaring was believed to have secluded himself at Kuala Maga from around 1940 to 1950 and left several marks there. Among the marks were :-
(i) Batu Angan (Upai Semaring's cooking stones)
The Homestay Programme was first launched in Malaysia by the Federal Ministry of Tourism in 1995 and is being coordinated and established under the Sabah Ministry of Tourism, Environment, Science and Technology since year 2000.
Sabah is home to more that 33 ethnic groups living in different parts of Sabah. Each district will be offering their own unique culture, beliefs and way of life. Hence visitors would be experiencing a different lifestyle in each of the Homestays that they stay. For example in the Long Pasia Homestay, the ethnic group there are the Lundayehs.
Long Pasia has a homestay programme and the locals will bid you welcome into their home. They will serve you refreshments and traditional meals. By staying with your host family, you will not only get a "home-away-from-home" feeling, but will also have an opportunity to participate in a unique inter-cultural experience that you just can't get from staying in hotels or dorms. The Lundayeh are a Christian community. They have their own traditional costumes and head dress. There are 13 listed homestay in Long Pasia village :-

Attorney Andrew Hyde, third left, represents from left: Johnny Mullet, Lester Mullet, Daniel Mullett, Levi Miller and Eli Miller during their arraignment in Holmes County Municipal Court in Millersburg, Ohio on Wednesday , Oct. 19, 2011. The case against the five members of a breakaway Amish group accused of forcefully cutting the beard of an Amish bishop in Ohio has been sent to felony court.
Amish people in North America are recognized by their beards and bonnets but those symbols rarely make headline news.
All that changed this fall in Ohio when some malicious Amish men attacked several Amish bishops in their homes at night and sheared off their beards. In Amish land the beard is a symbol of adult manhood. All men are expected to grow one when they are married. Even bachelors will begin sprouting a beard if their chances of marriage look slim.
Church leaders cite various Old Testament Scriptures (Leviticus 19:27,
21:5; II Samuel 10:4,5; Isaiah 7:20; Isaiah 15:2, Jeremiah 48:37) as well as the example of Jesus as reasons for raising a beard. One Amish church manual admonishes men to wear a beard, "because God created us that way and to differentiate in a very positive way between men and women." Older men tend to grow long beards with little trimming. The Ohio attacks were assaults on the personhood and the religious identity of the victims. A shorn beard is shameful and not easily regrown.
The "barbers," members of a renegade Amish group, deliberately targeted leaders in the mother settlement who had spoken out against the shocking behavior of Sam Mullet, their maverick leader. Mullet had been estranged from the large Holmes County Amish community about 15 years ago and moved his followers to a remote area of Jefferson County in eastern Ohio. In recent years Mullet has clashed with local law enforcement several times. Members who escaped his cult-like group have reported sexual abuse and physical violence against adults who disobeyed his orders. The FBI is now reportedly investigating the attacks.
Amish on Amish violence is very rare. In fact that label is hardly appropriate for these beard-cutting incidents because Sam Mullet's behavior contradicts basic Amish teachings especially those regarding retaliation and violence. He also maintains no ties with other Amish groups. Typical of cult leaders, he demands complete obedience and considers himself invincible not only from his followers but from the law as well. His use of "religion" and the Amish label to justify behavior has shamed and embarrassed thousands of decent Amish people across the country.
Donald B. Kraybill is co-author of The Amish Way: Patient Faith in a Perilous World and Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy both published by Jossey-Bass.

Sheryl Barnhart, 53, Zimmerman, and Virgil Pouliot, 55, Zimmerman, were arrested Wednesday for 1st degree possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and were booked into the Sherburne County Jail.
According to Sheriff Joel Brott, investigators from the Sherburne County Drug Task Force (DTF) developed information concerning the possible sale of methamphetamine occurring in the city of Zimmerman. In the course of the investigation, DTF investigators were able to obtain a search warrant for a residence in the 26000 block on 3rd St East, within the city of Zimmerman.
DTF investigators executed that warrant and found approximately 1 ounce of methamphetamine and approximately $16,000 in cash. Investigators arrested Barnhart and Pouliot on scene without incident and transported them to the Sherburne County Jail where they remain pending arraignment.

Hey Everyone,
I've chimed in on a few threads talking about the new 8"s, but promised I'd make my own thread with details and a little Q&A for everyone ... so, here's a basic rundown of some details on the new 8" subs we are launching here in the next few weeks.
Some highlights:
Segmented Motor Structure w/ 1pc Frame and Shorting Ring
There a 6 magnets, radially segmented and aligned around the shorting ring/frame/heatsink. The shorting ring is connected to the frame via three legs that allow the entire frame to act as a heatsink. We intro'd this design with our 2010 Type R 10" and 12" and we've carried this into the new 8"s as well
. its a pain in the butt to tool and assembly but the results are worth it. Check out the cut-view model, you can see on the left side, the shorting ring is directly connected to the exo-skeleton of the frame with one of three radial ribs the fit through the segments in the magnets.
Great Power Handling: 350W RMS / 1000W Peak Power Handling
Super Low Inductance: 0.55mH (843D) / 0.67mH Le (823D) and its very well tamed and symmetrical with respect to both displacement and current. Graphs attached.
H.A.M.R. Surround and FEA Optimized Spider
Just about perfect progressive compliance that is light and soft enough for super fast transients, but strong enough for full-power operation while unloaded in a vented enclosure or in free-air IB.
Durability: If any of you have been able to come to our CES Roadshow trainings, youll see the 823D run free-air at full clip on an M6 without a hiccup.
Sound Quality: Weve actually been running these as midbass/front subs (56-250Hz/20-250Hz) in the Camaro Demo car. The speed, accuracy and power of these guys in astounding! Ive got an 8W3 here and an IDQ8 and they cant hold a candle to it, especially when you get some real power into them (to my ears at least). This SQ isnt only a function of the suspension, but during my final approvals, I found the difference in suspension materials to play quite a critical role
so I give the suspension credit here. Graphs attached.
CRC Pole Piece / High-Grade Y40 Magnets
14mm of Klippel verified Xmax (70%) stands out from the crowd not only in linear stroke, but also in symmetry. These are extremely well controlled woofers. Graphs attached.
High-Output: These arent Jacobs crazy eights
but theyll get more than plenty loud and keep their composure while doing it. I absolutely love these in 0.50cubes @35Hz
tons of output for any sane person and a pair of them will smile all day on a PDX-M12.
Small Box Requirements: In the CES Demo Camaro, weve got them in a plate steel enclosure roughly the size of the woofers magnet (0.1-0.2 cubes). For a QTC of 0.90, try a quarter cube. Essentially, they work in boxes smaller than the shipping container they come it. Ported, 0.3-0.5 cubes and keep them in the mid to upper 30s
and theyll do it with SQ to boot in a vented enclosure.
Efficiency: They are 8s, so no 88dB numbers here, but they are 83.5dB efficient and have the excursion and power handling only to get louder from there.
Thats all I can think of for now. Feel free to ask any questions and Ill be happy to answer them as time permits.

This product will upgrade your version of Special Brass from Standard to Full.
Like Special Woodwinds, the Special Brass Collection offers resonant rarities that a first-rate virtual orchestra can't do without.
To create the perfect counterpart for our famous Epic Horns, we recorded an ensemble of six trumpet players (three trumpets in Bb and three trumpets in C). These commanding fanfare trumpets provide a tremendous impact with their sforzato and sforzatissimo playing techniques, and they deliver sparkling trumpet themes that soar magnificently above the orchestra.
As an added bonus, we were able to persuade Vienna's much acclaimed solo trumpet player Freddy Staudigl to record another solo instrument, the Cornet. Although the instrument's form and range is comparable to the trumpet it is considered more a part of the horn family due to its bore. Freddy's cornet sounds beautiful by itself and adds depth and detail when blended into an ensemble.
The Alto trombone expands our trombone family to its highest register, now making a total of four different trombone ranges available. This gives you more options for finding the perfect trombone tone, or tessitura, for your musical realizations.
Last but not least, our Euphonium adds a bit of brilliance to the low end as it reveals the high register of the tuba family.

Fort Custer Recreation Area comprises 3,033 acres located between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. The terrain is typical of southern Michigan farm country, with second growth forests and remnant areas of prairie. Prairie restoration is in progress with excellent results. The area features three lakes, the Kalamazoo River and an excellent trail system. Originally farmland, the area was acquired by the federal government to establish Camp Custer, an induction and military training center for the US Army during WWII. The land was deeded to the State of Michigan under President Nixon's Legacy of Parks in 1971.
This recreation area has three lakes as well as the Kalamazoo River, high rolling meadows, soggy wetland, and abundant woods. There are 22 miles of hiking, biking, and horse trails. 219 modern campsites, 2 cabins, and 3 rustic cabins, Activities include Eagle Lake beach, picnic shelters, hunting, fishing, mountain biking and cross country skiing areas. Park hours Monday-Sunday 8am-10pm. Day use admission charge. Enjoy the 18-hole disc golf course within the Park. The par 57 course covers a variety of challenging terrain, and was used as part of the rotation in the world disc golf championship which was held in August in the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek area. The course begins in the day use area near the Hilltop Pavilion, and will be open daily from 8am until the day use area closes, normally around 10pm. A course map is available at the park contact stations. There are no fees to play and no scheduled tee times.
Fort Custer Recreation Area
5163 Fort Custer Drive
Augusta, MI 49012
Ft. Custer Recreation Area is located north of I-94 between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo at Exits #85 or #92 and go north to M-96. The park is just east of Augusta on M-96.
Fort Custer Recreation Area comprises 3,033 acres located between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. The terrain is typical of southern Michigan farm country, with second growth forests and remnant areas of prairie. Prairie restoration is in progress with excellent results. The area features three lakes, the Kalamazoo River and an excellent trail system.
There exist several water resources that are valuable to the park. The Kalamazoo River provides an undeveloped natural setting along the park's embankment. In the early 1970s, low-head dams were constructed at the outlets of Whitford-Lawler Lake and the Jackson Lake to increase the lake size and provide waterfowl habitat. The Eagle Lake dam was built in 1982 to increase the lake size, which provided both water-based and general recreational opportunities to a growing population in southern Michigan.
The Fort Custer area has cultural significance. Territorial Road was originally an old Indian trail. As pioneers came to Michigan, the trail provided an east/west route. Lawler Cemetery is located next to Territorial Road. Owned by Frank W. Lawler, a local farmer at the time, the cemetery contains tombstones of some of the state's early settlers. Over time, the trail grew into a stage coach route between St. Louis and Detroit. Eventually, the area was farmed by early settlers.
Several homestead foundations still exist within the park. In 1917, Camp Custer was built for military training during World War I. The camp was named after Civil War cavalry officer General George Armstrong Custer. In 1940, Camp Custer was designated Fort Custer and became a permanent military training base for World War II.
Trail usage is a large component of the park. Fort Custer is a popular year-round destination for mountain bike users, equestrians, hikers and dog mushers.

Memorable Games
2009 - Hardesty's Game Winner
After the Tennessee defense held Kentucky scoreless on its overtime possession, tailback Montario Hardesty scored from 20 yards out to give the Vols a 30-24 win and secure the program's 84th winning season. Hardesty's score capped a monster performance in which the senior carried 39 times for a career-high 179 yards and three touchdowns.
2007 - Two-Point Stop Sends Vols to Atlanta
1997 - Manning Sets Passing Record
1996-2000 - Five in the 50s
1995 and 2001 - Streak Savers
In 2001, Kentucky jumped out to a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter. The Vols managed a score before halftime, and got two more touchdowns after the intermission to tie the game. From there, the two teams traded scores before Alex Walls connected on a 44-yard field with 2:49 to play to give UT a 38-35 win.

Outside Employment for Faculty Members (including Consulting)
The university believes that its educational program and effective teaching in all its aspects can flourish only when sustained by continuous, active participation of its faculty in professional development,enriched in many cases by interaction with industry, artistic organizations, business, government, school districts, and other activities and institutions of our society. This interaction is of greatest value when it contributes significantly to the public welfare, offers an opportunity for professional challenge and growth, or otherwise enhances the effectiveness of a faculty member's service to the university. 1I. Definitions Interaction can come in many forms, one of which is consulting. Consulting includes those professional activities related to the faculty member s discipline or field for which remuneration is received or where a fee-for-service or equivalent relationship with a third party exists. In some cases, the commitment of time is the primary consideration, regardless of remuneration.Professional Standards The potential magnitude of outside professional activity, particularly when it entails consulting or outside employment, is such that orderly procedures must be followed to avoid ethical and legal conflicts of interest and to ensure that such activity does not conflict with the proper discharge of university responsibilities. Personal responsibility, integrity, and high ethical standards are the principal factors in avoiding conflicts of interest. The university expects that all faculty members will conduct their outside activities in a manner which reflects credit on themselves, their profession, and the university without need for specific criteria or rules of conduct. The principal safeguards against abuse include the standards required by professional colleagues and the rigorous processes by which the university evaluates and selects individuals for appointment, tenure, and promotion.Full-time Service Consulting and outside employment policies and procedures apply during the time in which faculty members are under contract with the university. (For most faculty members, this period will begin in August and end in May.) The policy is not applicable during periods when faculty members are not under contract. (For the purposes of this policy, a faculty member teaching a summer school course is not considered under contract with the university.) The obligation inherent in full-time service is difficult to define, since in academic life it means far more than a stated number of hours per week. In a context in which the faculty member has substantial freedom in arranging his or her professional life, it implies an overriding interest, loyalty, and first responsibility to the university. This obligation, therefore, must be defined qualitatively, depending on principle rather than formula.Consulting vs. Outside Employment Several characteristics offer guidance in making a decision on whether an activity is considered consulting or an employment relationship. The primary distinction is in the type of work done and the degree of independence allowed in its implementation. 1Parts of this policy have been adapted from policies of the University of Texas System's Office of General Counsel at http://www.utsystem.edu/bor/procedures/policy/policies/int129.html .
For the purposes of this policy, an employee is one who is engaged in the delivery of the primary activity for which the organization exists, not someone who provides advice and suggestions in support of that primary activity. A contributing factor is the degree of independence. An employment relationship is said to exist when a person is in the service of another and the employer has the right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be completed, not just in terms of results but in terms of the details and means by which a result is accomplished. VariableConsultingOutside EmploymentWhat is done/nature of workContribution to the organization is advisory in nature.Contribution is in the primary area for which the organization exists.Organization for whom work is doneOrganization's mission is general and multipurpose; the organization does not employ others with thefaculty member's professional background.Organization's mission is narrow and focused; the organization has regular employees with the professional background of the Winthrop person.Nature of SupervisionObjectives are specified but details and methods are left to the consultant.Right of control is maintained by the hiring organization; "supervisor" makes assignment, periodically inspects work, controls the details. TimeWork is sporadic and time frame is generally defined by the length of the project rather than by hours, days, or months;If time is relevant, it is a relatively short-term commitment.Work assignment and compensation are generally associated with time, i.e. pay based on hours of work, regularly scheduled time or hours (for example, teaching class).MotivationProfessional development and economicLargely economicII. Disclosure and ApprovalEssential to the effectiveness of such procedures is complete disclosure of outside professional activities. It is the obligation of faculty members to keep their dean/department heads continually informed in adequate detail as to all outside professional activities, service on external committees, and other special assignments. All consulting and outside employment must be approved prior to engaging in the activity. The "Request for Approval of Consulting or Outside Employment" form must be completed and signed by all required parties before any consulting or employment is undertaken. (See attached form.) If the consulting or outside employment is to be with another agency of South Carolina state government, see the section on "Dual Employment" in theFaculty Manual.Elected positions or public offices requiring time commitments and/or involving compensation would have to be approved by the provost in advance of filing candidacy or accepting an appointment. Service on boards involving compensation would have to be approved by the provost in advance of accepting an appointment. Because these activities broaden the experience of the individuals involved and expose the university to a larger audience of business, civic, professional, and social leaders (subject to conflict of interest ruling), consideration ( good) to the university is the improvement of the individual by virtue of his or her continuing contact with nonacademic problems in the nonacademic world.Absences Due to Consulting or Outside EmploymentConsulting and outside employment under the appropriate rules and procedures may require an absence from the campus. Absence from the campus or other regular place of work during the normal working period must be discussed as a part of the "Request for Approval of Consulting or Outside Employment" form. Appropriate travel policies will also apply.Use of University ResourcesThe South Carolina Ethics Act prohibits use of public materials, personnel, and equipment for private economic benefit. University resources should not be used in outside employment activities. In consulting activities, incidental use of university resources is acceptable when approved in advance.

Social Co-Creation Is A Valuable Opportunity For Companies With A Latin American Presence
Posted by Roxana Strohmenger on June 7, 2011
- 572 Recommendations
- 0 comments
It's been almost a year since I wrote Latin American Social Technographics® Revealed, which demonstrated this group of consumers' voracious love of social media. In that report I highlighted how this high level of social engagement is not exclusive to just entertaining themselves or connecting with family and friends. In fact, it also extends to interacting with companies, with activities such as reading their blogs, following them on Twitter, or even watching a video they produced.
Given the ease with which companies can connect with online Latin Americans via social media, I've now published a new report entitled Take Advantage: Latin American Consumers Are Willing Co-Creators that examines whether companies can extend this interactive and social connection with consumers into the realm of co-creation in the social online world. My colleague Doug Williams, who focuses on co-creation processes for the consumer product strategy professional, defines "social co-creation" as the process of using social technologies as a vehicle to execute co-creation engagements.
To examine the viability of social co-creation in Latin America, we assessed the factors that we feel are crucial for a successful social co-creation engagement to occur. They are:
- A high level of engagement with social media — especially at the Conversationalist and Critic levels.
- A high degree of interaction with companies using social media tools.
- An inherent willingness to co-create with companies.
We find that all three factors are present in Latin America. In line with what we have already examined with Latin Americans' voracious consumption of social media and engagement with companies, you also see a high degree of willingness to co-create with companies. Specifically, 75% of online Brazilians and 85% of online Mexicans are classified as "willing co-creators" — that is, those individuals who would consider providing input to help companies design and build new products or improve existing products.
Even though the online world has not reached mass consumption, online Latin Americans are not shy about leveraging social media as a way to connect with companies. Companies with a Latin American presence must take advantage of this unique opportunity that is not as easily found in other markets like the US and Europe.
I hope you find this new report useful in shedding more light on how Latin American online consumers are using social media tools. If your ongoing focus is specifically on Latin American consumer research, then I would also recommend having a look at some other earlier blog entries: Do Latin Americans Want To Interact With Companies Online? and Marketing To Latin Americans Is A Long-Term Commitment.
As always, I welcome any reactions to or comments on the findings or recommendations in the report. Happy reading!

I was greeted warmly when I first walked in, then treated with wonderful bedside manner. Knowledgeable staff answered all of my questions so clearly and kindly. I was hesitant at first to try the CO2 laser, but the results were amazing. My acne scars have diminished by at least 50%. The aftermath wasn't too long of a recovery. I was a good reason to have a little R and R from work. I will be going back in 3 months for another treatment. Thank you Dr. Buka and staff, you guys are amazing.

What is the racial "Weapon bonus" good for ?
May 15, 2007 12:09:13 PM from
GalCiv II Forums
I'm playing the DA Drengin campaign, and my guys have a neat +40% "weapon bonus". Yet I can't find what its use !
In GC1 Weapon bonus was applied to ship's attack ,so a 20 attack ship with 40% bonus was 28 attack. In GC2 and DA, the weapons and ships always have the same stats whatever my weapons bonus.
I didn't notice neither any advantage to weapon size, cost or research cost.
So what's this bonus good for ?

The increased attack will not show up when you design a ship or choose which ship to build. But when the ship is completed and flying around in space, it will have 40% more attack, exactly as it should. Though attack is rounded down to the nearest integer, so you need a ship with 3 or more attack to actually get an increase.

Huh well sorry then... I was sure to have checked that my ships ingame did not have their attack values changed (and the last time I've checked they had 20+ attack).
Surely I've checked wrongly, sorry !

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|My boat has a 5' 6" draft and as long as you pay attention to the charts, you will be fine in western Erie. I have had no trouble at any of the islands and their marinas. You do have to be careful if you are approaching South Bass Island (Put-In-Bay) from the southeast. There is a relatively shallow shoal that extends pretty far from the island. Stay in the east of the first marker by Ballast Island and you won't have any trouble.
|I know all about Cedar point area! My Dada had a Abbott 33 it was 5'9 draft we hit bottom a few times because we didn't stay in the channel! Charts are your friend
Moore Vols- Did you get that boat with the 6'2" draft? Some of the replies above are laughable. 5' maximum draft? Try 7'. Long point is about 160 miles to the east of Sandusky and not much of an issue. Places you can easily go with a 6'2" draft in western Lake Erie:
Sandusky Bay- channel is 31 feet deep. Sandusky Sail club has several boats docked there with 7' draft. Sandusky Yacht Club, Dock in the Bay, Cedar Point- no problem. Sandusky Harbor Marina- potential problem
Kellys Island- Sea Way Marina
Middle Bass Island- State Marina
South Bass Island- City Docks-northern end, Boardwalk, Anchorage
Pelee Island- Scudders- Outer Docks
Port Clinton- City Docks, PCYC on wall
Huron- Huron Boat Basin, Harbor North on river
Vermillion City Docks, VBC, VYC- use west river entrance to Vermillion only
Water depths, especially during seiche's, fall in October/November. Most deep draft boats pull the second week of October or find a deep water dock. Most of the boats I race with have drafts over 6'. Obviously get a good set of charts. The low water locations are well documented and easily avoidable. Just be sure to watch out for Chickenole Reef and the fish weirs around Pelee.

Be careful leaving Sandusky Bay. Stay in the channel and you should be OK. Peelee Island is a good trip, just stay in the center of the channels. The south end of peelee Island is very shallow.
Be careful if you plan to go to Canada`s Peelee Point, the most southern tip of mainland Canada. At 2AM running with the spinnaker in 3 foot waves, about 2 miles directly south of the point, I hear a bunch of sea gulls squacking and suddenly find myself in breaking waves and sitting on a sandbar, the rudder kicked up and the next wave carried me over the sand bar. I took down the sails and motored to the east side of peelee point and dropped anchor for the night.
I checked the chart. Note. rough currents and drifting sandbars. I had made the trip numerous times without a problem. On the way back to Ohio in a dead calm I passed the area. there was a massive sandbar which I would guess was under six inches of water. The sea gulls seem to like the place.
About 5 miles south of peelee point you enter the channel for the freigher. As I was approaching a large freigher passed in front of me. IT left a trail of muddy water suggesting pretty shallow water.
I have been to every Island and every anchorage in that part of the lake. I seen a lot of big Sailboats with deep keels. You shouldnt have any problems.
3 post below, BJbones mentions Long Point Bay. When I started sailing out of Erie Pennsylvania, long point was a nice trip. I personally seen 3 sailboats aground there.
One Sailboat (Catalina 30) ran aground about 200 yards off the point, but easily tipped over a few degrees and pushed to deeper water. I seen a Sailboat drag anchor at Pottahawk point and run aground. It took awhile to pull it into deeper water. I seen a catalina 25 run aground entering turkey point, but the pilot simply wasnt paying attention.
I ran my 16 inch draft Mac 26 aground a few places in Long point bay while anchoring or xploring shallow areas. Nothing serious that i couldnt jump in the water and push,
Good Luck with your new boat. Se you next summer.
Ali Baba..
|Gary M
The lake it's self is fine it all depends on the entrance to whatever marina or club you will be keeping it at. Been a long time since I have been in Scudder but it is sort of a commercial harbour so just over 6 feet should not be a problem.
Put-in-bay should be OK as well. Many of the harbours on the Ontario side could be a problem.
|How is the trip to Pelee Island? That is one of the first cruises that I plan on taking.
|I figure my max on Lake Erie is 5'. There are a number of boats in my marina on Long Point Bay with 6'+ drafts, but they are usually hauling out by Oct. 1 at the lastest because of the usual late season water drop. At 5' I can stay hull wet until the marina locks the gates at the end of October. Also under 5' you don't have to worry about anchorages in the bass islands and pelee island.
Check out ActiveCaptain and look at the charts for the area. Subtracting depth for the low water this season you will get a good idea of what you will be comfortable with.

Maximum Draft in Western Erie
What is the maximum draft that you would feel comfortable in Western Lake Erie? I am specifically looking at a boat that has a 6'2" draft but I think it would just make things too hard in Erie especially with water levels low like this last season. Thanks.

Many Hospitals Suffer Numerous Breaches Annually
Number of multiple incidents for many grows
Thursday, April 26, 2012
The number of healthcare facitilies that suffered multiple
data breaches
in the past 12 months has expanded considerably in the last two years.
New data from the HIMSS Analytics report from Kroll Advisory Solutions shows that the majority of healthcare centers suffered more than one
data breach
last year, and the amount that did so grew from 2010's totals, according to a report from
iHealth Beat
. In all, 31 percent of hospitals who said they suffered at least a single data breach said that was the only one they suffered, down from 43 percent two years ago.
Meanwhile, the proportion of hospitals that said they suffered two breaches remained the same at 28 percent, and the rate at which others suffered between three and nine breaches exploded to 35 percent from 15 percent, the report said. Meanwhile, those suffering 10 or more breaches fell from 15 percent to just 6 percent.

Connecting Across Campus: An Interdisciplinary Software Project
The UMW Speaking Center consultants have been taking in more and more appointments from an increasing number of students. Typically we receive appointment requests by email, telephone, or in person. In an effort to improve efficiency, together with CPSC students under the supervision of Professor Jennifer Polack, we have been developing and testing a new online appointment scheduler software that we hope one day will replace the need for any of the aforementioned methods of scheduling appointments.
Much of what has appeared in print relating to synchronous online student demographics has been speculative. Widely accepted assumptions identify the following groups as most likely to use a synchronous service: distance education students, physically challenged students, students seeking additional privacy, students unable to come to the center during traditional hours, and highly apprehensive students. The data collected validates some of these assumptions and negates others.

Kings reach settlement in exploding ball case
Associated Press | Last updated October 30, 2012
The Sacramento Kings have settled a lawsuit over an exercise ball the teams says exploded and injured a player. The Sacramento Bee reported (http://sacb.ee/RuljF6) Tuesday the settlement was reached with Italian manufacturer Ledraplastic. Roger Dreyer, the attorney who represented the NBA team and injured swingman Francisco Garcia, told the newspaper the settlement amount was confidential. But he described it as extremely favorable to his clients. An email to Ledraplastic was not immediately returned. The Kings and Garcia claimed the ball exploded in October 2009 while Garcia was balancing on it and lifting weights, causing injuries that included a broken forearm. He missed four months during the first year of a contract extension. The Kings sought to recover his salary. Garcia sued for loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
