Ok, a number of pages back, twice I posted the links to Hazel's works with AA Uriel. There were 13. Now we have another today. OP, this was given for your benefit, you are that new and fresh face mentioned in it. He is very very proud of you beloved.
First this:
Those making it a mission to collect clusters of 3 green thumbs, these works from my website are approved by SHR of GLP for publishing of FULL content. Please do not waste the mods time by making copyright infringement reports on them. See the end of the post for link and details. Thankyou. Candace (God Loves All.)
Wrap up time
AA Uriel thru Hazel Nov 18.
I have chosen to direct this message to the one who has placed herself at my disposal. She has offered to be the bearer of this my directive. I have come before now to alert one whom I have chosen to bring forth a short yet searing imagery that would depict what your world has to envision in a pronounced moment that will conclude a restless phase in your earth's history. I chose to make that announcement to one who has not yet before been a bearer of messages so that others could see it through a fresh pair of eyes.
Many continue to dwell in denial of the truth and continue to carry the torch of the old and worn out teachings. This will not serve them for they will have to confront the very lies that have been spewed to them for ages and which they repeat ad nauseum.
The truth seldom sits comfortably. There remain many in ignorance of what is to transpire. The truth is too overwhelming and farfetched. They cannot consider a new world for to do so will upset their painted picture of what they know. But so shall it be. For the time is at hand now. Tremors will be felt on your earth plane as the earth kicks off her olden shoes in preparation for new wear. This is the primary time which precedes major activity on your earth. It has been foretold by the Father what is to be expected. Your linear time is moving very quickly now.
Your earth is being positioned for the final moment in the grand cycle which will terminate her revolution. This cycle will culminate in a darkened hue over lighting your sun that her rays may be regressed into her form but for a short time. You call it an eclipse but we refer to it as a 'solar closure' albeit a temporary one for a specific purpose. She will cease to smile but for a time as the rancid elements of your earth are ejected. So it is in indeed true how the story goes; for many of you think that this is a tale. This story I am here to tell you will have a real ending and all shall witness it. It is best that you seek now your own validation from the angels of the Divine so that you could prepare yourselves accordingly. Denial based on historical information will not serve you. Heed my words; there will be an ending to the charade and the Father has chosen the method to ease the pain of the earth before she makes her ascent.
The globe will enjoy days of darkness and when the light comes on again a new feeling will be had by all. This is not doomsday as some have prophesied. This is in fact the day of deliverance; Divine deliverance. No aliens are coming to steal you or your planet, but your star brothers will come to your rescue; your star brothers of pure light. Do not be fooled by the naysayers and the fear mongers- seek the truth and only the truth and you shall be given. Cleanse your mind from your beliefs and programming; for what is going to happen will happen and we the guides of the earth do not wish to see you flounder in confusion.
So I Uriel come to announce that indeed I am real- quite real and very present as a Divine energy working with your earth and humanity. It will behoove you to at the very least to consider what I say and seek confirmation from your inner divine.
Uriel come to say that this is wrap up time, so join us in serving the truth and let go of the lies as the time for its death is upon you,
Peace be with you.
I AM Uriel of the ONE light.
Candace: yesterday in my work with CM I mentioned a GLP thread in which one there received a stunning vision with AA Uriel and he took quite a beating. He is the one refered to in this piece above.

Immigration bill faces another major hurdle in Senate
A major addition to the immigration bill that beefs up border security and effectively serves in part as a "redo" of the legislation will face a crucial procedural vote in the Senate on Monday afternoon.
Written after a series of negotiations between Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Democratic Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota, the amendment is intended to ease concerns of skeptical lawmakers who are calling for tougher border enforcement as part of the bill.
The bill retains the language of the original one proposed by a bipartisan group of eight senators earlier this year, but adds 119 new pages, Corker says. While most of the language would remain the same, the Corker-Hoeven version strengthens security measures by nearly doubling the amount of security agents along the nation's borders. The bill would also mandate the construction of a fence stretching "no less than" 700 miles along the U.S. border with Mexico and provide funding for aerial surveillance of the area. The federal government will be required to meet a series of security benchmarks before immigrants living in the country illegally would be allowed to obtain permanent legal status.
"The American people want a strong, comprehensive immigration reform plan, but we need to get it right," Hoeven said in a statement last week. "That means first and foremost securing the southern border before we address other meaningful reforms to our immigration policy. They want to know that ten years from now, we won't find ourselves in this same position, having to address the same problem."
The Senate will vote on whether to end debate on the amendment, which will allow it to move on to final passage within the next few weeks.
Lawmakers rejected a similar (and less costly) amendment to the bill proposed by Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn last week by tabling the measure, so supporters of the new amendment hope it will serve as a new vessel to entice more Republicans to sign on to the bill.
The co-authors of the original immigration bill, including Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, have spoken optimistically about securing as many as 70 votes for the final bill in the Senate, the number they think the bill needs to show the effort has wide bipartisan support. The bill is likely to get the support from 60 members needed to overcome a filibuster, but getting 70 would put pressure on the House—a chamber with a higher concentration of conservative lawmakers—to act.
"We're very, very close to getting 70 votes," Graham said during a weekend interview on "Fox News Sunday."
The Senate is expected to hold the procedural vote on the Corker-Hoeven amendment at about 5:30 p.m. Monday.

Eight-cylinder boxer engine with 650 horsepower
A report from Automobile magazine suggests Porsche's so-called "Ferrrai fighter," its new 960 supercar, will be powered by a new flat boxer engine with eight cylinders. With four adjustable camshafts, four turbochargers, two intercoolers, a "complex" multi-stage intake manifold and dual-stage exhaust, the 3.9-litre engine will reportedly make 650 horsepower — right there with the likes of the $430,000-plus Lamborghini Aventador. Not to be confused with the German brand's 918 Spyder hybrid supercar due this year, the 960 will be a low-volume model. Porsche wants to sell about 3,000 to 4,000 960s over a six-year window, starting in 2017.

Throughout this week, we will be posting some tips to help make the end of the semester a little less stressful. Hope it helps!
Tip #1 Don't be a victim of lost files at the end of the semester!
It is heartbreaking when a student has something unexpected happen here in the library resulting in the loss of a critical paper or other research assignment. Sometimes all we can say is that we are sorry because the paper is a "lost cause." But there are tech solutions out there that can help minimize this risk.
Here are some solutions:
Don't open your document from ASULearn or email and begin to work on it. Be sure to save it to either:
1) Online free cloud computer spaces like Google Docs or Dropbox. These are free accounts and even the free versions give you lots of storage space. Dropbox also has an application that you can download to your own computer so that saving a document is as simple as saving it in the "Dropbox" folder. This will sync that document to any device used (whether at school, home, work, etc.).
2) Portable device such as a USB flash drive or burning to CD/DVD. We have both on sale at the Circulation desk if you need to purchase one.
3) Email the document to yourself.
4) Remember where you save it and DON'T save it to the Desktop unless it's REALLY temporary: If you use a library computer, be sure to note where you save the document. The best place is "My Documents" and should be the default.
We hope that these tips will help minimize your risk of losing your important work! Good luck!

Clay leaves glazing techniques!

These tiles were done with on white clay, then bisqued to cone 05. I then sponged on some terra sigillata with mason stain in it (the three with green background and the top maple leaf tile)or iron oxide, then I gently buffed the terra sig. and sponged off the excess oxide so it popped the design. You can see I went back and added more color (blue against the green first layer) to the hydrangea flowers. You could add more color to the leaves in the same way, its easy to do and comes out very watercolor like. I finished these by firing to cone 5 in an electric kiln.

can you make your own glazes at the school? if so, check out the post i did today under Green going grey. it is a great glaze over handmade underglazes. i wish i knew how to post pictures, they came out great.
"putting you down does not raise me up."
Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:55 PM
I make bowls with leaves in them. I first put the leaf in while still wet then put cobalt oxide on right over the top of the leaf. Bisque fire then put iron oxide on the leaf and wipe if off leaving quite a bit of iron oxide on the leaf. Let this dry and then clear glaze it. The iron oxide shows all the detail of the leaves.

Thread: Tree stands
Tree stands
Sitting in my stand last weekend staring at the squirrels and I noticed the cables on my tree stand looked alittle rusty.
HUMMM...so this gets me thinking about this stand. I try to remember when I purchased this stand and how long it's been in this tree? I look at the back and see the chain is dug into the tree, the lower strap has some serious pressure on it, so I knew that stand has been in the tree for quite a long time. I figure that I must of got that stand right around 1995 or so. So that thing has been hanging around in a tree (not the same tree) for around 17 years. Now me being the cheap skate I am I know it was a cheap stand and on sale stand as it was. So I wonder......What is the usefull lifespan of a tree stand? I got quite a few spread out through our woods and I'm thinking it might be time to start replacing them.
What do you do? Change them out ever so often or wait intil you fall out of the tree before replacing them?
I have a few store bought ones i take down after season but i have some ones made by a school ag department that are all one piece and very heavy.I leave them up year round,i hunt hogs from them also and just change out straps as needed....2010 PSE AXE 7
My stands seem to not like the tree i put them in..... they dont leave me an adress or directions to their new spot....... dont matter if its public or private so ive never got a chance to wear one out.....just use my double bull any more.

That sucks Duane. I hate thieves.
I've started replacing a few this year that sound like Gators. I think they've been out there about 8 or 10 years. (I still have a bunch with chains, LOL) Last couple of seasons I've been tenative when stepping out on them. I had some Cabelas points so I grabbed a few new Gorrilas to replace them. I hate spending much on them but at least a few of them are on a friends property so hopefully they will stick around. Before he bought the property I would just buy what was on sale at wallyworld because I have had a few walk off. I would not expect long life from cheap stands, those cables don't give you any warning. Replace the cables, or add homemade cables to the existing ones, or just replace the stand. Not worth a fall. Interesting when you've had stands a long time how they change. I have a few older gorrilla's that are chain on's. I would prefer they still had that. I wish the cables were chains too. I feel a couple rebuilds coming...
I voted replace every 5, if there out there year round. Bring them home and go through them.

I think at the end of this year they are going to come down and I'm gonna see what I can do to replace the cables or just pitch the stands and get some new ones.

I just rebuilt 3 over the weekend. Could'nt get replacement cables, so I used vinyl coated chain. New grade 8 nuts/bolts, a little sanding here and there, and new coat camo paint. Cost about $20 per stand for the hardware. I had the paint. These were 10 year old +/- Hunter's View stands. These will be put out on public land, so if I lose them, I'm not out much.

I like the idea of replacing the cable with chain.
That will work better than what I had planned on doing.

Beneath each of my Articles, I have a Comments section for Members to leave their thoughts.
I have added an HTML Anchor to the top of the Comments section, so that when a Member logs in, or clicks on the "Leave a Comment" link, he/she is taken directly to the Comments section instead of having to possibly scroll down several pages.
This is working okay, but I could use some advice to make it better.
The problem is that the Anchor scrolls in such a way that the user can't see any of the Article, and I think this could be confusing because the user might think they went to another page or somewhere that they don't want to be.
Here is a screenshot of what I mean...
I think it would better if part of the last paragraph was also displayed to give the user some degree of "orientation" so they know they can leave a Comment, but that they are still on the Article Page, if you follow me?!
Here is what I think looks better...
So on to my question...
What would be the most practical way to mark up my Articles so that I can get the effect I just described above?
All of my Articles are stored in my database, but include all of the HTML along with the Content. So this is really just a question of what is the best and most consistent way to apply the Anchor to the end of my Article instead of here...

Hope all of this makes sense?! :-/
Perhaps you should use something like [jQuery ScrollTo, which will mean the page will scroll down to the anchor, making it clear that this is part of the same page. (It's a nice effect. Here's an [URL="http://grigorlawyers.com.au/"]example](http://flesler.blogspot.com.au/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html).)
Or these might give you some ideas:
Thanks, but I don't do JavaScript.
Except they all seem to have limited browser support...
I know this is crude, but as a test I just added a hook on my last paragraph like this...

In scelerisque turpis vitae velit vehicula tristique. Nunc convallis, lacus id pellentesque venenatis, massa lectus dapibus libero, ut condimentum justo dolor eu quam. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Maecenas in odio felis, ut pharetra risus. Praesent vitae magna quis dolor porta luctus. Donec dictum gravida odio, id volutpat nunc tempus in. Nunc vehicula scelerisque consectetur. Aenean at massa erat. Aliquam gravida neque in metus mattis at interdum arcu aliquet. Vivamus a ligula nec leo tincidunt euismod in eget arcu. Maecenas neque tellus, consectetur vitae semper et, suscipit et felis. Nulla facilisi. Quisque cursus nunc non est viverra posuere.

I really try hard to support all browsers, because it is lame when you have to say "This website does not work with <browser><version>"
Sure seems like there should be an easier solution out there using pure HTML and/or CSS...
I guess my idea above isn't a good one, because sometimes Articles have a "Reference" and "End Notes section.
If either of those exist then I would want the last section immediately above the Comments section to be partially shown, so that once again, the user can see that they are still on the Article page, but just down in the Comments section.
I guess I need to put some spacing between this...

What Do You Think?

...and the top of the View Port.
Then you're options are very limited. I would do it using javascript and scrollIntoView()
Pretty simple and straight forward.
Yes, not a useful attitude, really. It's easy to add to a site to provide enhanced behavior for most users, and solves a lot of issues that CSS can't handle.
There is life beyond JavaScript...
As far as "things CSS can't handle"...
In "article.php" I have added one new line of HTML (first line below)...

And then I added this one style...
/* COMMENTS Styles */
margin: -200px 0 0 0;
height: 200px;
And my problem is fixed using JUST HTML and CSS...
Now when a user clicks on the "Add a Comment" link at the page top, they are taken to the "Add a Comment" section but will also - on average - see either the a.) Last Paragraph, or b.) Footnotes Section so it is self-evident that they are still on the same page.
Proving once again that you do not need JavaScript to have a usable and aesthetically-pleasing website, but to each his/her own...
But now you have changed the functionality you described in your 1st post. In your 1st post you said the anchor scrolls to a location in your page. With your solution you are now jumping to a location in the page. There is a big difference between jumping and scrolling to a location in a page.
If you want scrolling then you need javascript. If you are happy with jumping, then you don't need javascript
This is just another example of where you mean one thing and you post something else
Well, you've now given focus to a useless, empty div. Usable?
Life is about making decisions and compromises.
And for what it is worth...
1) My solution isn't any more "funky" than the solutions in the links you provided
2) My solution is supported by all browsers
3) My solution works with JavaScript turned off
4) My solution isn't that bad semantically, because I DO want my Anchor to be BETWEEN the Last Paragraph/Foot-Notes and the Comments Section.
Not saying the links your provided don't have merit, but in the end, my solution was SIMPLER and BETTER SUPPORTED and any downsides are really negligible in my opinion.
Besides, it gives you something to give me a hard time on...
I don't see how you can say your solution is better because your solution still doesn't do what you asked for in your 1st post. You have changed the functionality from scrolling to jumping. You are comparing apples with oranges.
If you originally posted what you really wanted you might have got a solution much quicker. As posted earlier, if you want scrolling, as you originally posted, then you need javascript. If you are happy with jumping, like you have now changed to, then you don't need javascript. It really can't be simpler than that.
In the future, consider posting what you really want in your 1st post instead of making things up or changing things as you go along

Faculty, MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts
Residency Site: Port Townsend WA
- firstname.lastname@example.com
Working on his own or in collaboration, Seitu Jones has created over 30 large-scale public art works. He's been awarded a Minnesota State Arts Board Fellowship, a McKnight Visual Artist Fellowship, a Bush Artist Fellowship, a Bush Leadership Fellowship, and a National Endowment for the Arts/Theater Communication Group Designer Fellowship. Seitu was awarded a 2001-2002 Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and was the Artist-in-Residence in the Harvard Ceramics Program. He was Millennium Artist-in-Residence for 651 Arts in Brooklyn, NY, and was the first Artist-in-Residence for the City of Minneapolis. In 2014, he integrated artwork into three stations for the new Greenline Light Rail Transit system in the Twin Cities. A 2013 Joyce Award, from Chicago's Joyce Foundation allowed Seitu to develop CREATE: The Community Meal, a dinner for 2,000 people at a table a half a mile long. The project focused on access to healthy food. Seitu is working with members of his neighborhood to create a 5-acre farm in a new St. Paul city park. For 18 months Seitu was a Senior Fellow in Agricultural Systems in the College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Science Resources at the University of Minnesota.

Personal Statement
Going to high school in the 1960's, it was easy to get caught up in the rich mix of music, politics and art of the times. Those times shaped my world-view. I absorbed the tenets of the Black Panther Party, as well as, the beliefs of the Black Arts movement. From those progressive and radical platforms, I learned and internalized that "One should leave their community more beautiful than they found it."
Since that time I've aspired to create environmental artwork that honors, communicates to and inspires communities. I feel very strongly art that can be a source of neighborhood pride as well as a tool for social and cultural development. These fundamental principles guide my artmaking practice and undergirds my educational philosophy.
My home/studio is an old cigar factory in the Frogtown neighborhood (formally called the Thomas Dale community) of St. Paul, Minnesota. From there I create distinct artwork in a variety of mediums, that is informed by research and observations made on several different trips throughout the African Diaspora, to understand how the descendants of Africa shape and order space.
In form, my work has evolved from mural making to abstracted sculptural reliefs on walls to free standing sculptures and sculptural installations. Over the last ten years my practice and career is more focused on public infrastructure, so the materials of my work, are the materials of streetscapes and landscapes. The mediums of my art now include cast concrete, metals, stone, cast paper, wood and clay. My most recent commissions have also become more sophisticated and have required complex working drawings that help translate my ideas to a crew of fabricators. I use Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to create working drawings, pencil and maker illustrations, CAD drawings and maquettes to present my ideas. These skills have aided me in creating 30 large-scale works of art and communicating my ideas as the first artist-in residence for the City of Minneapolis. A role that I've held for the last three years.
In addition to this my large-scale public artwork I also work as a scenic designer. I create work for stage much like creating any other large-scale public artwork. My works for stage are sculptural installations that I create in collaboration with a director and many times a group of scenic craftspeople. Most of my theatrical work accompanies plays with non-linear or abstracted themes or ideas. The abstracted texts in these plays compliment my own minimalist aesthetic for visual storytelling. In 1995 the Theater Communication Group and the National Endowment for the Arts recognized my work as a scenic designer with the award of a Designer Fellowship. While this was very important accomplishment, and while my theater work has consistently received favorable reviews, the real accomplishment is that theaters and directors continue to ask me to collaborate with them to create works for stage. In fifteen years I've created over 25 works for stage.
To increase my knowledge of plant materials I enrolled in the University of Minnesota's Extension Program's Master Gardener Core Course, which provided a foundation in soils, botany, entomology, plant pathology, herbaceous and woody plants and vegetables. After becoming a Master Gardener, I realized I needed to learn even more in order to use this understanding of the world in my art practice and set out to study landscape design and environmental history. This formal study increased my understanding of the natural environmental and ecological systems.
For ten years I've worked with a group of gardeners in Frogtown to "greenline" our neighborhood. The term "greenling" was developed as a counter to redlining, which is the practice of refusing to do business with in low income, or communities of color. Greenlining is the act (sometimes without permission) of increasing the amount of plants and trees in those same neighborhoods. This group of gardeners/activists have engaged in greenlining as a small part of a larger movement towards environmental justice. In fact, we are inspired by the work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, whose Green belt Movement in Kenya planted 3 million trees, our modest goal in in 2009 is to plant over 1000 trees in Frogtown.
My educational path has given me new tools to draw from to blend art and nature to create a better world. As a result I am morally committed to the practice of designing an educational program to meet a student's personal needs. Teaching allows me to share my experience, knowledge and artistic practices with students. What I ask students in return, is to change the world. I believe my experience and world-view matches the goals of Goddard College and the MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts Program.

mixing opacifiers
Posted 29 August 2011 - 12:33 PM
Posted 14 September 2012 - 06:51 PM
I am surprised you did not get any responses to this. I would like to start it back up again as gaining experience from others on this topic could very well let us all use less tin - which would be a nice thing. I have only done this once with a cone 10 glaze and I was less than thrilled with the results. I thought the mix I used create a glaze that was dull and did not show off the slips I tend to use under glazes.
Anyone else out there with experience mixing opacifers?
Posted 14 September 2012 - 07:59 PM
Posted 15 September 2012 - 11:03 AM
Keep us informed about your discoveries. I sometimes sub 1.5 to 2 parts Zircopaz for 1 part tin to see the difference in colors the sub causes and sometimes to save a few bucks. Here is some very interesting info from Digita Fire's Reference Database:
"-Twice as much zircon is required to produce the same level of opacity.
-Like zircon, tin melts at very high temperatures and thus does not go into solution in typical glaze melts.
-Zircon will stiffen the glaze melt more than tin.
-Zircon will likely produce a harder glaze surface.
-Zircon will reduce the thermal expansion of the glaze more than tin.
-The quality of the white color is different (tin tends to be more of a blue white, zircon a yellowish white).
-Tin is very expensive, this is likely the main reason for its much more limited use as an opacifier today.
-Zircon tends to have less of an effect on the development of metal oxide colors (e.g. tin reacts with chrome to make pink).
-If gloss is an issue, silica might have to be reduced to compensate for the silica introduced by a zirconium silicate opacifier being substituted for tin.
-While there are other products that produce varying degrees of opacity, none are as neutral and non-reactive as tin and zircon. Other opacifiers also tend to variegate the glaze.
-Tin does not normally opacify in reduction firings.
Tin is also a player in the development of ceramic colors, for example chrome tin pinks and maroons. Tin with iron in oxidation makes a warmer shade of brown than zirconium does. Tin oxide can react with titanium and rutile to variegate the glaze or even complete transform its color."

Personally, I do not think of Zinc Oxide as an opacifier, but rather a flux. If I wanted to opacify I would use a zircon-based material like Zircopax or Superpax, or possibly titanium dioxide. What probably happened with your glaze is that the zinc increased the melt of the glaze a little bit, and the stains melted in better and increased their vibrancy.
Or it was simply a chemical reaction. The coloring chems reacting differently to zinc and tin. Or both.

I am agreeing with Neil on this one. You caused your glaze to flux more, and consequently the colours came out brighter. I wouldn't have thought to use zinc as an opacifier either. I have a great purple glaze that uses tin and copper carb., and I also use copper carb and tin as an over glaze colourant that goes red when all the stars line up.For my white glaze I use zircopax as the opacifier.
This is why it is great to make your own glazes-you get these fortuitous accidents.
Ain't ceramics great! TJR.

Your posts have reminded me of a related problem.I am a little confused here. I know that when I have a glaze that is pin holing, I need to make it more fluid by adding more flux. However, I have been told that one way to correct pin holing is to decrease the amount of zinc. This seems counter-productive, and following this thread, I am now even more confused. Any voice of reason here?
I used to get pinholing when firing Majolica at Cone 04. The problem doesn't occur so much with my stoneware as it is a longer firing at a higher temperature.Your problem might be as simple as dust on your pots! Before I glaze, I dip my bisqueware in a clean five gallon bucket of water. You would be surprised at how much sand/grit collects in the bottom of the bucket. Of course, then you would let the pots completely dry over night.Works for me!
Since I sell a lot of my work to the public, I sand my bisque, then rinse it. It's one more extra step, but it adds to the craftsmanship of the finished product.
Posted 28 September 2012 - 12:19 PM
Anyone with some insight here?
Note that in reduction firing (or in a supposed oxidation firing where reducing conditions might unintentionally exist) zinc oxide is incredibly easy to reduce, therby resulting in the production of both carbon dioxide and raw zinc metal. Zinc metal has a very low melting point and is quite violatile at typical ceramic firing temperatures. The out-gassing of CO2 as well as the fuming of zinc out of the glaze both have the potential to create pinholes / small bubbles in the glaze surface.
If the firing does not continue long enough for these holes to heal after the bubbles have been generated, or if the glaze viscosity and surface tension is such that the holes do not heal over easily... this can contribuite to "pinholing".
Note also here that the most common cause of pinhioling is coming from the clay body, and issues with the bisque process..... it just shows up in the glaze firing. Try firing longer less densly stacked bisques and make sure there is a good flow of oxygen through the bisque kiln.

.........splits it between zircopax and tin oxide (to bring down the cost, I'd assume).
Unfortunately, zirconium products prices are rising rapidly.

NFL Draft > 2007 Prospects > QB > JaMarcus Russell
JaMarcus Russell Scouting Report
|LSU Tigers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'6 - 260 lbs.
2007 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
Nobody should have been surprised when Russell declared he was foregoing his senior season at LSU to enter the 2007 NFL Draft. It was quite clear in the Sugar Bowl that the 6'6" quarterback is ready for the next level. In fact, no player helped his professional stock more than Russell during the bowl season. Russell most likely soared from a mid-first round pick to an almost guaranteed top 5 selection. With two teams (Oakland and Detroit) who need a QB picking at the top of the draft, it would not come as a shock if Russell is either the #1 or #2 overall pick. He could be a few years away from the Pro Bowl, but Russell's upside is off the charts. His arm strength is tantalizing, and his entire physical presence will surely make Al Davis think long and hard about making this freak of nature the top overall pick.

Bragg divided his forces, threatening Louisville and Cincinnati at the same time.
Bragg sits at the head of his table, and bullies the solitary Mrs. Bragg.
On the 16th of March he wrote again, this time in answer to Bragg's of the 7th.
Senator Bragg says she should be the one selected for Mother America.
But Bragg was unable to gather substantial fruits from his victory.
He was sure that Victor was now with Bragg and they might meet face to face again.
It was, perhaps, rather agreeable to Mr. Bragg to think of this.
Bragg remains, but part of his garrison goes to Beauregard, in Virginia.
"I'll tell you one thing, Miss Cheffington," said Mr. Bragg, all at once.
It will also enable them to spare troops to reinforce Bragg.

Father and son were awarded a joint Nobel Prize for physics in 1915 for this work.

Like many cities in Southern California, Redlands includes the image of oranges on the city seal. As with most Southern California cities, Redlands has lost most of the citrus groves of the early 20th century. Unlike most cities, however, Redlands still has a significant amount of land bearing citrus fruit, and the Redlands Conservancy believes this is worth celebrating.
"Citrus is what ties Redlands to its beginnings," said Rollie Moore, the conservancy's treasurer and a citrus grove owner. "The fact that we still have groves sets us apart from other communities."
For almost two decades, the conservancy has worked to protect Redlands' historic built environment and conserve the agricultural and natural environments for the benefit of today's and tomorrow's residents and visitors.
In 2005, the conservancy adopted the Inland Orange Conservancy, a community- assisted agriculture program to encourage the preservation of existing citrus groves. The IOC takes cooperative memberships from individuals; in exchange, the members receive a share of the crop, usually 10 pounds of oranges and other citrus twice a week for a season.
The IOC pays participating growers for the oranges in an amount that far exceeds what the growers would normally receive. This increased income serves as an incentive for growers to keep their land in production.
To build on this work, the conservancy's board of directors has created a Citrus Preservation Committee to examine the best procedures for preserving Redlands' citrus heritage, which is extensive.
A 1901 advertising flier for Redlands boasted that 2,500 carloads of oranges were shipped in 1900 - 1,000 more than during any previous year. Another flier claimed that Redlands was at the center of the orange- growing section of the world, and by 1910, Redlands was shipping out the greatest number of Washington navels in the Citrus Belt, according to "Images of America: Redlands."
Century-old photographs show vast acres of citrus groves surrounding large and gracious homes, proof of the prosperity brought by the luscious fruit. Indeed, the main residential streets were laid out to accommodate irrigation of the citrus groves and other farms. During the citrus boom years, more than two dozen packinghouses served the industry, and more than 15,000 acres of groves employed hundreds of people, according to "Images of America: Redlands."
By the early 20th century, the citrus industry was attracting wealthy winter visitors and residents and out-of-state investors. So important to Redlands' economy was the citrus industry at that time that the severe winter freeze of 1913 drove some growers into bankruptcy and "set back the Redlands economy until World War I."
Redlands' citrus was celebrated well into the 1950s at the Indio Date Festival and the National Orange Show. The citrus industry brought prosperity to Redlands.
Today, the remaining citrus groves, in small pockets at former grove homes and in swaths of green and gold in the Crafton area, harken back to the driver of Redlands' growth and provide many benefits to the entire community. The Redlands Conservancy believes they are worth saving as a significant piece of Redlands' heritage.
"Citrus is the uniquely important factor contributing to the feeling that Redlands is special," Moore said. "This is why the conservancy has made citrus preservation a priority for 2012 and 2013."
In the 1983 book "Redlands Yesterdays," William G. Moore wrote, "It was the setting and the feel of the place which made (Redlands) unique."

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- It cost $6 per month to attend
Lindsey Wilson Junior College in 1928-29, but $2.50 a month if a
student wanted to take only shorthand and typewriting.
That was among the facts discussed Monday morning
at Lindsey Wilson when the college received a half-dozen items from
the late 1920s. The items belonged to the late Philip T. Aaron of
Russell County, Ky., who attended Lindsey Wilson from
Aaron's daughter, Mary Blakey, and her husband,
Gary, both of Jamestown, Ky., brought the items to the LWC Sue
Craven Stivers Alumni House to present them to LWC Director of
Alumni Relations Randy Burns. The items will be placed in the
college's archives, located in the Katie Murrell Library of the
Holloway Building.
The items donated Monday include five pictures and
a copy of the the 44-page 1928-29 Lindsey Wilson
Bulletin. That school year began Sept.
11, 1928, with a "formal opening and matriculation of students" and
concluded May 24, 1929, with commencement.
The 1928-29 Bulletin
lists the 222 students enrolled at Lindsey Wilson in 1927-28;
ernollment was included the junior college (86), high school (95),
and commercial and music departments (41). Twelve faculty and staff
were listed for 1928-29, and Lindsey Wilson was led by President
and Business Manager R.V. Bennett, who also taught Bible and
mathematics. Murrell was the college's registrar.
For $2.50 a semester, students received unlimited
use of the library, which featured 2,800 books and was located in
"a well-lighted room on the second floor of the Main Building," now
known as the L.R. McDonald Administration Building. The library was
"furnished with chairs and tables and is supplied with the best
magazines and papers."
In addition to the Main Building, the
Bulletin lists six other college buildings on
the campus: the Gymnasium, now W.W. Slider Humanities Center;
Girls' Dormitory, now Phillips Hall; Boys' Dormitory, a three-story
building renamed Chandler Hall and razed more than 30 years ago; a
dairy barn; president's home; and a new "nice frame residence,
adjoining the campus, for the use of married teachers."
It cost $15 per month to live in the the
dormitories, which was paid in advance. Male students were required
to make a $3 damage deposit and 50-cent key deposit. If students
wanted a light more powerful than the 40-watt bulb supplied by the
college, they were "charged an additional rate." Students also had
to pay an extra $1.50 per semester if they wanted to use an
electric iron.
After he graduated from Lindsey Wilson, Aaron
taught school for a year in a Russell County, then enjoyed a
21-year career in the Navy. He was at Pearl Harbor when it was
bombed by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941, and he served in the
Pacific Theater in World War II before retiring as a lieutenant
commander. He returned to Russell County, where he was a post
office clerk before retiring from that post. He died in 2005 at the
age of 95.
Lindsey Wilson was founded in 1903 by the
Louisville Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South as a training school for Vanderbilt University. It became a junior
college in 1923, and offered a training school program until the
late 1970s. LWC became a liberal arts college in 1985, and graduate
programs were added in the 1990s. The college is now affliated with
the Kentucky
Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Hi Guys
I hopw you can help me.
Ive been following the Xploitz WEP crack tutorial.
Ive managed to get the IV's going up, ive collected over 250000.
The problem i have is that aircrack has been decrypting the key since only 10000IV's and its the wrong key.
It does say however thats its 100% but its not. Its too short for starts.
Any ideas guys???
I would have thought that if there were not enough IV's then it would fail??
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks for the reply.
It is returning a hex key.
Is there a program / or way to turn the hex to ascii?
One word : SEARCH
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

More Andrew Malcolm nonsense
Laura Bush's former flak is en fuego today [1]!
Headline [2]:
Take back Al Gore's Oscar, 2 Academy members demand in light of Climategate
Wow, Academy members, well at least 2, are really mad, and Malcolm dutifully treats their demands as news. But naturally as a proud member of the GOP Noise Machine, Malcolm leaves out any context about the absurd "demand."
For instance, exactly how many Academy members are there? The answer would help put the "2" in context, right? Well, there are more than [3] 6,000 Academy members. In other words, approximately .05 percent of the Academy members want Gore to lose his Inconvenient Truth Oscar. But nonetheless, the Dem-hating Malcolm thinks the claim is news. (Hello Drudge link!)
And oh yeah, who are the "2"? One is (surprise!) a right-wing blogger [4], and the other guy has written [5] for his pal's right-wing blog.
UPDATED: More serial mendacity from Malcolm. He claims the so-called "Climategate" emails were "leaked." Of course, they were stolen, not "leaked."

Grizzly you dont need 2 people to do a worked bout, it only takes one guy to plan a quick loss and the fight is worked, it really is that simple, the other opponent may not suspect a thing but the fight is still a worked bout!
I have footage of "the fall guy" dropping before even getting hit and i mean like the flurry of punches was just missing him and he drops and then curls up on the floor takes like one or two shot to his arms and the ref jumps in, job done.
the arm bar would have never happend as the fall guy would not let a fight go that far, as you see in the footage, also he was not even hurt all that was the play out for the fans lol
Bas rutten was once asked if he ever done a worked bout whilst in japan as they are known for them and he said never, the guy then said what about if your opponent has been paid to work the bout without your knowledge?
so unfortunatley for leeroy and 99.9% of the guys who have ever fought lee cage they too have been in worked bouts

WATCH: Selena Gomez Thanks Fans For Support Amid Personal Turmoil In Emotional Teen Choice Awards Speech
Listen to Selena Gomez Radio on iHeartRadio
Selena Gomez was given the Ultimate Choice Award at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards, and used the opportunity to thank fans for supporting her during a period of constant rumors about her personal life.
While she didn't specifically refer to her on-and-off status with Justin Bieber, it was clear that Gomez was grateful that fans have had her back no matter what the tabloid headlines say.
Gomez told the crowd, "I have to be honest, especially this month, I cannot thank you guys [enough], because you remind me, amidst all the stuff that we deal with personally, you remind me of what's important."
"And that's giving, and loving, and caring about each other," she explained. "You guys make me better."
The singer-actress also thanked her mom for being "the greatest human being in the world."

Fighting possible food stamp cuts
(Cleveland) - National, state and local poverty number remained high in 2012, according to the American Community Survey released by The U.S. Census Bureau.
One in five Cuyahoga County residents, or 230,246 people in Cuyahoga County, lived below the poverty line in 2012. The poverty threshold for a family of four was $22,811 in 2012. More than 1 in 4 children (26.9%) in Cuyahoga County lived in poverty.
"We have seen a substantial increase in the number of people seeking help from us in the last five years," said Karen Pozna of the Cleveland Foodbank. "At a time when so many families find it very hard to put meals on the table, it is critical that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) program continues to be funded in such a way that it is available to all who need it during difficult economic times." The numbers show that hunger and poverty continues to be not only a problem in Northeast Ohio but also nationally. Earlier this week, the Census Bureau released data which found that more than 46 million Americans are living in poverty.
Thursday Congress passed a bill with more than $40 billion in cuts to SNAP as part of the Farm Bill reauthorization that would cause three to five million individuals across the nation to lose their food assistance entirely.
The cut would translate into about 1.5 billion lost meals for hungry families every year for the next 10 years.
Pozna tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, this is on top of the looming benefit reductions that will impact all SNAP participants starting in November 2013. The combined cuts would lead to more lost meals than the entire Feeding America network distributes in a year. The bill will now move to conference. v Pozna says "The Cleveland Foodbank provided access to 34 million meals in 2012. There is no way our food bank will be able to make up the increase in need in our community if SNAP benefits are cut. We urge Congress to maintain Washington's historic bipartisan commitment to programs that serve vulnerable, low-income people and ensure strong funding for SNAP and other anti-hunger programs".

POMONA - After several years of budget cuts, the city's financial picture is looking a bit better, but no one should be preparing a celebration just yet, officials said.
A slight uptick in revenue is expected through the end of the current fiscal year, according to a city staff report. The projections call for the city to receive $79.47 million in revenues, about $879,000 more than budgeted for in the 2012-13 general fund budget, according to the report.
Pomona has downsized in recent years by more than 200 employees, outsourced functions including park maintenance, turned the library staff into part-timers and closed the downtown fire station.
The city "will be in the black although by small amounts," Councilwoman Cristina Carrizosa said about the projections.
The revenue-based staff report was meant to give council members preliminary estimates of the city's finances, Finance Director Paula Chamberlain said.
It appears "we're better off than we were last year," Chamberlin said.
However, about $163,000 in spending increases attributed to building and safety contract services and Police Department overtime expenses are also expected.
An additional report with preliminary revenues and expenditures estimates is expected to be presented to the council at the end of the month.
Although some of the city's revenue appears to be gradually increasing, the report calls for caution.
Revenue projections for the 2013-14 fiscal year could be close to $2 million higher than those in the current fiscal year, but some expenses, such as the city's contract for fire services with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and employee retirement costs, are expected to increase, Chamberlain said.
The county Fire Department projects an increase in costs for services in 2013-14, Chamberlain said. The 2012-13 fiscal year budget for fire service is $21.9 million. The figure includes $275,000 in revenue.
Sales tax has started to creep up in the city as has property tax, the latter being the city's top source of revenue, Chamberlain said.
The city's top sales-tax source are service stations followed by the sales of building materials, she said.
Developers are also beginning to show some interest in building in the city.
Carrizosa said a development of 48 single-family homes near Lexington and Towne avenues in her district is moving forward. The development had gone through the approval process some time ago but needed to secure financing, she said. The financing is now in place and construction will soon be under way.
The budget projections don't mean the city will be in a position to go on spending or hiring sprees but it will provide some financial breathing room, Carrizosa said.
That means the city will be in a better position to focus on such projects as sidewalks, she said.

OSOK Solo
The four essential "steps" of training.
"OSOK Solo" presents a step-by-step adaptation of the OSOK training program that will help you pursue OSOK Total Fitness on your own. We will guide you through four essential "steps" of training:
#1: 10 Rules of Engagement – Guiding principles to keep in mind throughout the OSOK training procedure.
#2: Self-Assessment – Determine what skills you already have in place, and use this assessment to create your personal plan for "module mastery," which will enable you to achieve your target skill set.
#3: The Seven Modules – Each module is a focused package of training methods that, taken together, enhance the skills you identified in the self-assessment step to achieve Total Fitness at the elite warrior level. As you work through these, you must apply the 10 Rules of Engagement to accomplish the desired results.
#4: Putting It All Together – This is where you will assemble all the training and skills you gained from the Seven Modules and the 10 Rules of Engagement and put them to the test. After reviewing what you think you have achieved, you will take your new skill set through a trial run with Fundamental Marksmanship Skills to see if you really can achieve "One Shot One Kill." A full version of the OSOK Solo Handbook, with text not provided elsewhere, is also available here.
As you go through this training program, we will provide you with materials you can use to assemble your own OSOK Handbook, which will become your guide each time you come back to the OSOK program for a refresher course. As we obtain feedback from users like you, acquire new materials from the various Uniformed Services, and become aware of latest evidence-based findings, we will revise and update the HPRC to help you continually enhance your elite warrior skills.
If you would like to pursue OSOK training beyond this Solo program, we suggest you visit the OSOK-IP Unit section of the OSOK-IP program, where PowerPoint presentations and additional PDF files can be found. You can also learn how to provide OSOK training to others in your unit.
As you work through these web pages and the training related to each page, we provide you with the pertinent section of the OSOK Handbook, which contains specific information and instructions on how to step through the OSOK training program. Before you go any further, click here to obtain the first—introductory—section of the Handbook, and then read it before proceeding to the next step. It contains information that you will need to understand what follows. (Note: These files are in PDF format.)
#1: 10 Rules Of Engagement
Guiding principles to keep in mind throughout the OSOK training procedure.
The 10 Rules of Engagement (ROEs) were created to assist the warrior athlete in his or her quest to reach the optimal level of performance. It is very important for warriors to first review these ROEs as they develop and implement their own plan to ensure lasting success. The rules listed here are explained in full in the 10 Rules section provided for your Handbook.
Rule #1: "Figure out where you're at before you start"
Rule #2: "Don't let your environment control you…take ownership"
Rule #3: "If it doesn't work, stop doing it"
Rule #4: "Start small, go slowly, and be patient"
Rule #5: "Practice, practice, practice"
Rule #6: "Set up an environment that supports your new plan"
Rule #7: "Bring in the experts and educate yourself"
Rule #8: "Don't get caught off guard…have a game plan"
Rule #9: "Write it down and review it daily"
Rule #10: "Be vigilant. Once you got it, don't lose it"
#2: On Target
Use this self-assessment to create your personal plan for "module mastery."
This page provides links for you to download self-assessment—or Module Mastery—tools for you to use after you complete each module. The purpose of these tools is to increase your awareness of those weakened systems in the performance package that may be contributing to a decrease in your performance and resilience. As all elite performers know, self-evaluation is crucial to any performance program. The self-evaluations for the OSOK program are in this portion of the student manual. You will rate yourself on a scale from 0 (non-mastery) to 10 (mastery) and review the performance package diagram to identify areas to focus your resources.
Although you won't need these forms until you complete each module, we suggest that you download them and add them to your OSOK Handbook to have on hand when you are ready for them. Click here for the downloadable Module Mastery Assessment PDF document.
#3: The Seven Modules
Each module is a focused package that, taken together, leads to Total Fitness at the elite warrior level.
Controlled Response (CR)
The Controlled Response Module assists you in modulating your body's fight/flight response system, enabling you to maximize your internal resources when needed to accomplish greater physical feats. The section of the OSOK Handbookprovided here introduces a variety of mind/body strategies for you to practice. Click here for the downloadable module on Controlled Response (PDF).
Mind Tactics (MT)
In the Mind Tactics Module, you examine the power of the mind through mental strategies. It teaches skills used by professional athletes and the warrior elite that enable you to reach your optimal level of performance on and off the battlefield. Click here for the downloadable module on Mind Tactics (PDF).
Performance-Based Nutrition (PN)
The Performance-Based Nutrition Module examines the nutritional needs of the Warfighter in combat. Developed in collaboration with USUHS, the information assists you in maintaining a high level of performance through nutrition plans used by elite military units and athletes. Click here for the downloadable module on Performance-Based Nutrition (PDF).
Primal Fitness
The Primal Fitness Module teaches you how to maintain your optimal fitness level in and out of the combat environment. Inspired by high-intensity fitness principles, specific emphasis is placed on (1) the importance of functional fitness maintained without the need for facilities and (2) the role of fitness in injury prevention. Click here for the downloadable module on Primal Fitness (PDF).
The Purpose Module reminds you of the external factors that you can draw strength from in difficult times (e.g. core values, spirituality, country, fellow Warfighters, etc.). Encouraging a commitment to something greater than yourself in the face of adversity, the Purpose Module is intended to be a primer of courage that will enable you to perform heroic feats in the face of overwhelming odds. Click here for the downloadable module on Purpose (PDF).
The Code Module reminds you "who we are" by examining your unit's value-based system and supporting your unit's cultural framework. The Code is a system that lays the foundation for your unique way of life and acts as a compass to guide your morality, ethics, and everyday decision-making. A system can only exist through and within the support of its cultural framework. As a result, the importance and maintenance of the warrior cultural framework are emphasized. Concepts of Bushido, the Samurai Warrior, and the Spartans will complement existing material. THIS MODULE IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT. Once it is revised, we will make it available to you.
The Recharge Module targets disrupted sleep patterns associated with the combat environment and increased operations tempo. Focus is on empowering you to improve your sleep patterns through education and alteration of common disruptive behaviors while emphasizing healthy habits and avoiding the use of medication. Click here for the downloadable module on Recharge (PDF).
#4: Putting It All Together
Assemble all the training and skills you gained and put them to the test.
Now it's time to put all Seven Modules and the ROEs together to see what they have helped you accomplish. First, use fresh copies of the On Target self-assessment forms and fill them out again. All your "shots" should now be "in the black"—or getting closer. Remember, integration takes practice and constant vigilance. As with all elite performers, it may take you a while to master optimal integration. Practice and commit yourself every day to making yourself better.
The Fundamental Marksmanship Skills you learned in boot camp can be used effectively to enhance your performance and resilience in many other parts of your life. OSOK uses marksmanship as an experiential activity—central to WF success—to demonstrate how to utilize the skills you've learned in each module in an integrated way. These skills can assist you in reaching your personal and professional goals. The Fundamental Marksmanship Skills (FM) portion of OSOK is best practiced in a group format, so this portion of OSOK is included in the OSOK Unit section of our website. If you wish, you can download a PDF of the slides here.
The complete version of the OSOK Solo Handbook contains much more information, including background and guidelines on how to put all the material together into your own Total Force Fitness package. Click here to download the complete Handbook.

Your mileage may vary: I was able to keep this from occurring by the following: toggling the ehci_hcd by unbinding and rebinding.
The device in particular that I think was messing me was a card reader and/or webcam. I'm going to write a basic script to do this for me automagically at startup until I can figure out a better work around. After spending too much time trying to simply disable power to the devices themselves this seems to work. I'm still pretty n00b with linux though so don't hang me if it doesn't work for you.
It mainly seems that some devices don't play well with usb 2.0 with the latest kernel and, well, beyond that you have me.
open terminal and:
cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
now 'ls' and see the devices listed. I had two, 0000:00:2.1 and 0000:00.4.1 so I issued the following commands:
sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:02.1" > unbind'
sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:04.1" > unbind'
and then cause, eh, i wanted some usb devices I binded them again. Not sure why but the process of unbinding and binding seems to keep that cursed message from clogging the sys log but it does so feel free to issue the following:
sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:04.1" > bind'
sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:02.1" > bind'
where the 4.1 and 2.1 would be the devices listed from your ls command.
... only took a few hours of googling to finally find a solution. Not sure if posting outside links is ok (please PM me if not, read through the FAQ but didn't see any reference to no outside links), but I found this idea here: http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/0...ling-ehci_hcd/ - Only through trial and error did I find I could then bind again without it spamming the syslog, though I'm hesitant to use the built-in card-reader on my machine for fear it'll start cycling again (and because I don't even have a memory card to test it with).
Hope this helps!

Kinky Boots (original Broadway cast)
Kinky Boots (original Broadway cast)
Kinky Boots (original Broadway cast)
Kinky Boots (original Broadway cast)
Theater review by Adam Feldman. The Al Hirschfeld Theatre (Broadway). Book by Harvey Fierstein. Music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper. Dir. Jerry Mitchell. With Stark Sands, Billy Porter, Annaleigh Ashford. 2hrs 20mins. One intermission.
[Note: The cast of Kinky Boots has changed since this review was first published. Panic at the Disco frontman Brendan Urie makes his Broadway debut, playing the musical's straight man, from May 26 through August 6, 2017.]
The kicky crowd-pleaser Kinky Boots is the very model of a modern major musical. Adapted from a 2005 English indie film, Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper's fizzy pop tuner tells of Charlie (the capable Sands) and his Northampton footwear factory, Price & Son—a family business in danger of closing down. Hope arrives in the unlikely form of Lola (Porter), a self-possessed drag queen with ideas for a niche product line: knee-high, skin-tight, stiletto-heeled sheaths of ostentatious color, strong enough for a man who's made up like a woman. (Gay style and consumer dollars to the rescue! The shoe must go on!) Directed with verve by Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots feels familiar at every step, down to its messages about individuality, community, pride and acceptance; it could have been cobbled together from parts of The Full Monty, Billy Elliot and Fierstein's La Cage aux Folles, and it culminates in a feel-good finale so similar to Hairspray's (which Mitchell choreographed) that it might as well be called "You Can't Stop the Boot."
Yet the musical holds up for the same reason Price & Son's products do: solid craftsmanship and care. Lauper is a musical-theater natural, combining bright, infectious melodies with simple but effective lyrics. As each act progresses, the energy rises palpably, boosted by a heart-strong cast. Porter brings tough sass, wounded dignity and husky vocal authority to a part he has seemingly been training all his life to play; and as Charlie's lovelorn underling, the sweetly tart Annaleigh Ashford—she of the perfectly timed comic take—adds another stolen show to her rap sheet. The overall effect is nigh irresistible; if you've been low about this season's musicals, Kinky Boots may be just the thing to get you back on your feet.

A Letter From My MDA Parole Officer – Why You Should Donate
I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm going to jail for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and need you to help raise my bail. Don't worry if you can't donate a thousand dollars, every little bit helps. In fact, you can donate as little as $30 on my online donation page.
But don't do it because I'm asking you to. Do it because the kids with MD need your help to find a cure.
We take for granted the ability to stand and walk, the ability to jump up and run to the fridge for ice cream on a hot afternoon, or the ability to grab our bicycle and go for a ride. We take these things for granted. But not everyone does.

LONG BEACH - The Port of Long Beach will celebrate a milestone on New Year's Day with the official completion of its Clean Trucks Program, a massive effort that has reduced air pollution from harbor trucks by 90 percent in just over three years, port officials said.
The program will take 280 of the oldest container trucks off the road this week and will replace them with newer models, marking the final step in an effort to replace old, polluting big rigs with 2007 or newer models.
With the start of the new year on Sunday, all 11,772 trucks serving both the ports of Long Beach and neighboring Los Angeles will meet the new standards.
Port of Long Beach spokesman John Pope said the end of the program on Sunday is more of a symbolic day since significant reductions in truck-related pollution have already been reached. Today, 98 percent of trucked container moves in the port are done by rigs with 2007 or newer engines. Pope noted that about 90 percent of the funding to replace the trucks came from private companies.
"We set an example for the entire industry," Long Beach Harbor Commission President Susan E. Anderson Wise said in a statement. "We helped replace more than 10,000 pollution spewing trucks with newer, less polluting ones and the bottom line is that our communities can breathe better. Everyone at the Port can be proud of this accomplishment, and we are grateful to all our partners in the trucking industry and the environmental community who helped us get here."
The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles both began banning older rigs in 2008 in an effort to clean the notoriously smoggy air around the two ports, which together handle close to 40 percent of the nation's shipping imports.
The Port of Los Angeles on Sunday will also celebrate the completion of its similar Clean Trucks Program.
Martin Schlageter, a campaign director with the Coalition for Clean Air, applauded the achievement but said the completion announcement is mostly a formality.
"The goals of the Clean Trucks Program have already largely been achieved. We're certainly energized by it and think it's a great achievement of the ports," Schlageter said.
"But it's one step in the process. We have a long way to go to get to clean air in our region."
Schlageter said the ports should be trying to work toward newer 2010 truck standards, in addition to increasing the number of trucks at the port that run on alternative fuels. About 7 percent of the cargo moves at the ports are currently made by trucks that run on liquefied or compressed natural gas.
