If you're a fan of Andy Griffiths and Jeff Kinney, My Life and Other Stuff That Went Wrong is the book that has been missing in your life.

I have. I'm Tom Weekly and this is my life. Inside the covers of this book you'll read lots of weird-funny-gross stories and learn the secret of my strangest body part. But I guarantee that won't freak you out as much as the story of how Stella Holling, a girl who's been in love with me since second grade, tricked me into kissing her.

Discussion in 'Centerfire Pistols & Revolvers' started by kaj611, Dec 30, 2003.
Has anyone heard anything about the new glock .45 gap?
I haven't kaj611...but, I'm sure some of the people in the know will show up soon. I'd like to know more about Glock's myself...
Do a search on this forum - there was another thread with ballistic info posted a little earlier. Looks like a short ACP to me. (Some phrase about tits and boar-hog comes to mind for some reason...)
here it is ,it was in the 1911 forum
Gpostal you know all the tricks!! I just posted my first pic the other day - kinda new to all the high tech stuff....
Just what the world needs, a .45ACP Short! No doubt they'll soon be advertising these as "Just as good as a REAL .45ACP!"
Poor old John M. has rolled in his coffin so many times it must be round by now!
I read an artical on it in a gunny magazine, said it was equal to the .45 acp as long as the bullet weight doesn't exceed 185 to 200 grain bullet.
I would think the round has potential in a midsize frame revolver with five shot moon clips.
The idea for developing it was to be able to utilize it in 9 mm size frame pistols.
It remains to be seen if this goes over with the gun world.
Yup, proves the Plastic Wonders can't handle it!
i see absolutly no reason to mess with the .45 acp ,the
G.lock A.uto P.istol round
is just another caliber to set on the shelf next to the 10mm and the .357sig ,they are all jelous of smith hitting it big with the .40
while the .45 acp will always be king
Don't put the 10mm on the shelf just yet - that's a great round - just needs to be used in its proper place - Colt's old Delta or Cooper's original Bren. - great pig gun.
i bet you drive a chevy too ?? {lol}
I was figuratively speaking ,comparing them to the only caliber that took a hold .40 S&W

Optoma HD8200 Projector Review
Optoma HD8200 Projector: Pros
- Good color accuracy post calibration in best mode
- Bright "best mode" performance – slightly brighter than other "bright" projectors
- Two HDMI 1.3 inputs, full support for 24 fps, Deep Color, etc., plus a third digital input – a DVI with HDCP compatibility. Overall, slightly better selection of inputs (and outputs) than the average projector
- Support for an anamorphic lens
- Very sharp image
- Good remote control
- Average placement flexibility with 1.5:1 zoom and lens shift
- Good menus
- Rainbow effect minimized, and not an issue for most who are moderately sensitive
- 2 – 12 volt screen triggers
- 3 year warranty with replacement program
- Nicely styled projector
- Overall, a very good projector for those favoring the DLP look and feel
Optoma HD8200 Projector: Cons
- Shadow detail performance is very good, but definitely not best in class
- One of the least bright projectors in "brightest" mode
- Despite lens shift, not viable for rear shelf mounting (except down low, where no one wants to put the projector)
- Noticeable out of the box color inaccuracy, with a shift to cool (blue)
- Some real issues with the dynamic iris (different issues for the two options)
- Black level performance, though very good, not up to the better "ultra-high-contrast" projectors found at its price or less, including some selling for more than $1000 less.
Optoma HD8200 Projector: Typical Capabilities
- Audible noise is reasonably quiet, and less than most DLP projectors, about average overall
- Lamp life
- Shadow detail performance

SUNDAY, September 30, 2012 (MedPage Today) — Nearly 7,000 schoolchildren in eastern Germany had fallen ill with gastrointestinal symptoms as of Friday, tied to lunches served at their schools, the German publication Der Spiegel reported on its website.
Diarrhea and vomiting were the principal symptoms in the outbreak, which began earlier this week. The afflicted children had all eaten lunches served at schools supplied by a single catering company, Sodexo.
Officials of the firm, which also does business in the U.S., said they did not believe Sodexo's food was responsible. Der Spiegel quoted a spokesman as saying "less than 5 percent of the schools we supply have been affected."
The Robert Koch Institute in Berlin was seeking to identify the causative agent, with noroviruses, Salmonella, or chemical toxins the leading suspects. It had not reached a conclusion as of late Friday, German media reported.

JWoww should show more cleavage

Progressive abandons its level-or-better rate Snapshot policy to exact a surcharge from subpar drivers.
Auto insurance agents brace for battle as Google prepares to rewrite the rules of road risk.

Intensive versus low-input cropping systems: What is the optimal partitioning of agricultural area in order to reduce pesticide use while maintaining productivity?
Pesticide use should be reduced for sustainable agriculture. Low-input cropping systems, centered on hardy varieties that maintain their yield in the presence of pests, allow pesticide use to be reduced. Since yield potential is generally lower for hardy varieties than for high-yielding varieties, a balance must be found between production and pesticide reduction. In order to compute the optimal partitioning of agricultural area between intensive and low-input cropping systems, we present a model that allows yield and gross margins to be computed at the landscape scale, as a function of the proportion of the area under intensive and low-input systems. The model shows that two cases must be distinguished, depending on inoculum production by each of the coexisting systems. If the low-input system produces less inoculum (e.g. because resistant varieties are used), coexistence can be optimal, whereas if the low-input system produces more inoculum (e.g. because tolerant varieties are used), it is best to devote the whole area to a single system. The model gives the gross margin for each cropping system as a function of the proportion of low-input systems - and so predicts the proportion to which the farmers' choices will lead - and illustrates the use of different (simplified) policies that would ensure that the optimum proportion is reached.

Eric Thau, Markus Wessendorf, Anna Wieczorek, Leven Wilson, Tricia Wright
Other faculty present: Meda Chesney-Lind, Sarita Rai
Administrators present: Interim VCAA Peter Quigley, VCRGE Gary Ostrander
The meeting was called to order by Chair Keil at 3:00 p.m.
1. Minutes of the December 12, 2008 Senate meeting were approved (unanimously).
2. Chair's report
a. David Chin has agreed to be the Faculty Senate parliamentarian
b. The Budget Working Group had its first meeting yesterday and will meet weekly. The details and minutes will be posted on-line in the OVCAFO website. VC Cutshaw has said the process will be as transparent as possible.
The State of Hawai'i has to balance its budget (by law). UH has submitted a budget to the Governor reflecting a 10% reduction (of the discretionary funds part of the UH budget). Mānoa absorbed 64% of the UH cut. The VCAFO informed the Budget Working Group that the 10 % reduction amounts to $7.9m, which will be absorbed through $3m in energy savings, $2m in not filling open positions and $2.6m in anticipated tuition increase income. The anticipated future cuts, however, are likely to be greater than 10%. At this time, it is unknown what the eventual request from the Legislature/Governor will be for the UH, and details will likely not be known until mid-May, when the Legislature completes its session and submits it to the Governor.
c. Status of PBRC Reorganization. The SEC asked VC Ostrander to write a document outlining the details of this reorganization; this in turn was passed to CAB and CoR for review. The SEC has met with the executive committee of PBRC. CAB and CoR have met both with VC Ostrander and the executive committee of PBRC. On Monday, January 26, 2009, the SEC will meet with the Chairs of CAB and COR and VC Ostrander to review the CAB/COR reports.
d. The VCAA search is in active progress: Dr. Reed Dasenbrock will be visiting our campus as a candidate for this position. He is a former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Provost of the University of New Mexico and currently holds the position of Cabinet Secretary for the State of New Mexico's Department of Higher Education. He will present his vision for UHM and be available for questions in a public meeting that will be held Monday, January 26th, 4:30-6:00 p.m. in the Architecture Auditorium.
e. Presidential search: the search firm is soliciting input and will be on campus on January 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in Hemenway Theater. It is important for Senators, faculty and staff to attend this meeting and express their views on the desirable qualifications candidates of this position should have.
SEC Chair Keil will invite the Chair of the Search Advisory Committee, former regent Donna Tanoue, to our faculty senate and congress meeting on February 18, 2009, to give a progress report on the status of the search. This should also provide a forum for Senators and faculty to ask questions and express their views on the qualifications of potential candidates.
A senator asked if a position description exists; Keil answered that it does, and it has been published. It was noted that the ad does not mention the type of terminal degree required of potential candidates.
f. Senate elections
Last year there were only about 30 new senators required for election, but this year there will be about 50 needed. Senators are urged to solicit candidates for the upcoming elections from their faculties. Carol Kellett, chair of CFS, has provided a series of dates for the process.
3. Old Business
a. Resolution on the Director search for the Cancer Research Center of Hawaii was proposed by Robert Cooney.
Resolution on the
Search for a Director of the Cancer Research Center of Hawai'i
Whereas the need to initiate a search for a new Cancer Center Director has resulted from the recent resignation of its former director, Dr. Carl Vogel, and
Whereas the future success of the Cancer Research Center of Hawai'i is highly dependent upon recruitment of the best individual possible as Center Director, and
Whereas the faculty of the Cancer Research Center of Hawai'i strongly support an impartial and unrestricted search for a new director
Be it resolved that the Faculty Senate of the University of Hawai'i requests the University administration and Board of Regents to ensure that the search process is conducted in line with the guidelines established by the Senate Executive Committee with the Chancellor's office for executive searches and that the best candidate is identified and selected through a comprehensive international search.
VC Ostrander reported that the search committee has been formed and the Chancellor is about to announce it. He had asked the faculty in the Center to suggest names and many of them are on the committee. An RFP for a search firm has been put out and expired December 18. They were shortlisted in consultation with the chair of the committee and one was selected. Cancer Research Center faculty received an email update 10 days ago from him, he said.
Dr. Cooney asked VC Ostrander if he followed the procedures for hiring of executives, as approved by Chancellor Hinshaw and which are referred to in the resolution. VC Ostrander stated that he believed he did; it was agreed that the process for finding names would be reviewed when VC Ostrander would meet with the SEC on Monday, January 26, 2009.
David Ross called the question and the motion was seconded. There was no further discussion. The resolution was approved unanimously (voice vote).
b. Resolution to establish a standing committee on assessment, presented by the Chair of CAPP, Susan Hippensteele.
WHEREAS the purpose of the Committee on Assessment (COA) is to lead coordinating
and monitoring assessment activities and to develop assessment policy directed
at understanding and improving educational effectiveness, and
WHEREAS, the COA will serve as a repository of assessment activities, provide
consultation to the Administration and relevant offices regarding gaps in
available assessment information, recommend changes in assessment processes,
review the usefulness of assessment strategies, and ensure that Mānoa uses
assessment data to inform decision-making and improve student learning, and
WHEREAS, COA will be staffed by the Assessment Office, and work closely with the Office of Faculty Development and Academic Support, General Education Office and General Education Committee, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and will have the following responsibilities:
a) Establish academic assessment policies necessary to foster a campus-wide understanding of and commitment to improvement-oriented educational assessment.
b) Identify the most appropriate practices and uses for assessment of student learning at Mānoa.
c) Review assessment resource needs and recommend concomitant budgetary allocations by the institution.
d) Liaise with faculty to promote effective academic assessment practices, especially in support of degree programs.
e) Consult with subject matter/content area experts as necessary.
f) Produce an annual report (due at the end of each fiscal year, June 30) to the
Faculty Senate on the status of academic assessment at UHM, and

RESOLVED, The Mānoa Faculty Senate approved the establishment of a Committee of Assessment as a permanent committee of the Mānoa Faculty Senate.
David Ross proposed that the name of the committee be changed to the Manoa Assessment Committee, so as to forestall confusion with the already existing CoA (Committee on Athletics).
A senator asked if the committee would have a representative of the VCAA's office on it. Dr. Hippensteele said this would not be necessary given the administrative location of the Mānoa Assessment Office. Senator Ross questioned this assumption.
It was asked why the appointment period was two years rather than three years. Members of the audience spoke in favor of having voting members (with the exception of the Faculty Senate representatives, whose term is two years) serve for three years.
Both these proposals were entertained by the Chair of the committee and accepted as friendly amendments.
A senator questioned whether there was sufficient faculty interest to staff this proposed committee.
Senator Inazu pointed out that there was also a committee coordinated by VCAA Quigley to handle assessment issues; in response Senator Ross said that the Faculty Senate Task Force on Assessment had been told that this group (the MACC) would be or had already been disbanded. It was confirmed by Monica Stitt-Bergh that the original MACC had been disbanded, but that to fill the gap until the new committee comes into existence, Administration has created a new group with the same name made up of Associate Deans and some Directors.
There is also a Council on Program Reviews, set up by the Chancellor. A senator with knowledge of this spoke to point out the difference between the Council on Program Reviews and the proposed Committee on Assessment.
The question was called, and seconded. It passed with one vote against.
c. A resolution to include student learning outcomes (SLOs) on UHM-1 and UHM-2 forms was presented by Chair Hippensteele of CAPP. This resolution had been discussed at the previous Manoa Faculty Senate meeting.
resolution to include student learning outcomes (SLOs) on UHM-1 and UHM-2 forms
WHEREAS, with the introduction of new WASC Standards that will be in effect as of July 2008, that is:
"1.2 Educational objectives are clearly recognized throughout the institution and consistent with stated purposes. The institution develops indicators for the achievement of its purposes and educational objectives at the institutional, program and course levels. The institution has a system of measuring student achievement, in terms of retention, completion and student learning. The institution makes public data on student achievement at the institutional and degree level, in a manner determined by the institution" and
"2.3 The institution's student learning outcomes and expectations for student attainment are clearly stated at the course, program and, as appropriate, institutional level. These outcomes and expectations are reflected in academic programs and policies; curriculum; advisement; library and information resources; and the wider learning environment."
The MANOA FACULTY SENATE RESOLVES that, as part of good teaching practice, all courses should clearly state the expected Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), as part of published syllabi, and that for any new courses or course changes submitted on forms UHM-1 or UHM-2, SLOs must be included in the justification section. These SLOs should reflect the SLOs of the program under which the course is listed.
Senator Ross moved to commit this resolution to the Manoa Assessment Committee.
Motion passed with two opposed and three abstained.
d. Senator Tiles provided an update of the Process Committee, which was asked by the Chancellor to finish its deliberations by the end of the Fall semester (but finished them before the beginning of the Spring semester). Background is available at
Senator Tiles observed that prioritization review data should be looked at with a fresh set of eyes in conjunction with the Strategic Plan. There should be a semester devoted to a campus-wide review so as to result in an implementable document (not merely a vision) and this should be re-entered into a cyclical process of prioritization, she said.
Senator Tiles stated that it was the feeling of the committee that it is better to have a start on the process; there will inevitably be problems, as the campus is too complex to completely prioritize a priori. Empirical data are necessary as well. This process cannot determine the budget decisions, but can inform it. The survey done by CAB suggests that the faculty does not want to see across-the-board cuts.
Key criteria included in the prioritization document are centrality/alignment, quality/integrity, critical mass, external demand, internal demand, cost-revenue generation, productivity, and specialized niche competitive advantage. These categories come from recent scholarly discussions of prioritization (as in R. C. Dickeson, 1999, Prioritizing academic programs and services. Jossey-Bass).
A senator pointed out that there were a lot of questions about UHM averages in the document. Senator Tiles stated that such data could be provided by the VCAA's office.
A senator asked what response the Chancellor has made to the report. Keil replied that there has been no response as yet. However, it was discussed at the MET meeting yesterday (reported VC Ostrander from the floor) and there was general support. VC Ostrander noted that Dean Alan Teramura (who chaired the committee) has been briefing the Chancellor during the process.
A senator asked if Athletics would be included in the prioritization. Senator Tiles reported that the universal quantifier means All (that is, all programs would be reviewed and prioritized). Another Chancellor asked what the status of the professional schools would be reviewed as well, and the answer was yes.
Senator Keil said he looked upon this document as one for the future of UHM, but budget cuts will have to be made by July 1 and it is unlikely that all the data needed for prioritization would be available by that time.
4. New Business
a. Resolution
to Approve a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Media
Senator Hippensteele proposed a resolution for CAPP. She noted that this was inherited by CAPP when she joined that committee about two years ago, and thus has apparently been pending or under discussion for some unspecified time.
WHEREAS, The Academy for Creative Media (ACM) was established by the Board of Regents in January 2004 "within the Colleges of Arts and Sciences at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa" as an academic unit focusing on the study and production of cinematic and digital media; and
WHEREAS, while a unit within the Campus Wide Programs of the Office of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (VCAA) under the direction of the Assistant Vice Chancellor and Director for Undergraduate Education, ACM has established an extensive curriculum and major degree requirements, approved by the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and the VCAA; and
WHEREAS, the Creative Media major, as a new program, has been administered through the Interdisciplinary Studies (IS) Program; and
WHEREAS, ACM has experienced noteworthy growth in its four years, expanding from two (2) FTE faculty and one FTE APT position offering three (3) courses to nine (9) permanent FTE faculty (eight (8) currently filled) offering thirty-nine (39) courses in the areas of digital cinema, computer animation and game design, and critical studies; and
WHEREAS, student enrollment has grown from thirty-seven (37) in Spring 2004 to three hundred forty-two (342) in Fall 2008 while majors have grown from 0 to 95 in Fall 2008 with twenty-nine (29) student graduates with the Creative Media major; and
WHEREAS, ACM has a strong record of fundraising that includes $1.5M in donations and contracts as of Fall 2008, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, the Faculty Senate recommends the Board of Regents approve the Bachelor of Arts in Creative Media.
Senator Ross questioned the relevance of the donations to the thrust of the resolution. Senator Hippensteele observed that it was probably useful information. She noted that questions have been asked about the expensive nature of the program (equipment, etc) and therefore the point was relevant.
Senator Ross asked about the proportion of tenured faculty in the program who have the terminal degree in their field. Dr. Brislin replied that two have PhDs, four have MFAs, and two do not. One (Dr. Brislin himself) is tenured, and four are coming up for tenure.
A senator spoke in support of the measure.
The question was called and seconded. There were no further comments. The resolution was approved with one vote against and no abstentions.
b. The next senate meeting will be on February 18 and it will be a joint Senate-Congress meeting. This was voted on; all were in favor.
c. Faculty Senate response to the Process Committee report.
Keil reported that the Process Committee's report needs to be put in place urgently if it were to be of any use. The Chairs of CAPP and CAB had pointed out that an important document like this should be given to our standing committees, reviewed, and reported back to Faculty Senate. The SEC met with members of CAPP and CAB on Monday, January 19, 2009 and drafted a response to the document.
WHEREAS, the Faculty Senate of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (Senate) has examined the Draft Report of the Chancellor's Process Committee (Report) and supports in principle a transparent, bottom-up process of prioritization as outlined in the Report; and
WHEREAS, the Senate also has concerns about the timeline for implementation of the process, which is expected to substantially change the long-term character of the University, because it precludes meaningful consultation by affected groups, and
WHEREAS, we are concerned that this process cannot, in the time allotted, be implemented in a manner that gives proper attention to academic integrity and the long-term health of the University, be it
RESOLVED, that the Senate recommends the process be carried out so as to prioritize care and due diligence over speed, and ensure that external deadlines do not drive decisions with enduring ramifications for the academic integrity of the University, and
RESOLVED, that proposed changes to the process be accepted, considered, and incorporated after the nominal January 23 deadline and throughout the process of prioritization to include an immediate request for comment on the appropriateness the rubrics and ranking procedures as part of data collection from all programs engaged in the review process, and
RESOLVED, that a step be added to the timeline in which the process itself is evaluated, that the process for this evaluation be spelled out in advance, and that faculty will have an active role in the creation and implementation of this evaluation, and
RESOLVED, that the scope of the process should be expanded to include nonacademic units, including all administrative units and offices up to and including the Office of the Chancellor, and
RESOLVED, that if the process leads to any proposals that include reorganization or elimination of programs as defined in the Report, such proposals should be explicitly tied to, and justified by, a timeline in cost savings and/or other clearly articulated benefit to the University, and
RESOLVED, that the Senate shall have the opportunity to fully review and respond to any proposals or outcomes resulting from the process.
The Senate understands that external considerations might require the Administration to make some policy decisions in advance of the conclusion of this process and states that such decisions should be carried out in a manner consistent with the points above, with an emphasis on transparency and shared governance.
Faculty Senate Chair Keil stated that most SEC members recommend that this be handled as a motion (which stays internal to Mānoa) not as a resolution (which will make its way to the Board of Regents). He then read the draft into the minutes. Keil then repeated his comment that budget decisions are likely to have to be taken faster than is implied by the Process Committee report.
Senator Tiles proposed modifying the words "non-academic units" to "Athletics and all administrative units." One clause of the motion was modified as follows:
RESOLVED that the scope of the process should be expanded to include athletics and administrative offices up to and including the Office of Chancellor.
Professor Chesney-Lind remarked on how difficult it is to do these things and emphasized the need for great care. Keil responded emphasizing the long-term nature of the process. Professor Chesney-Lind responded that everyone is always in support of such proposals until their own department is on the list.
It was proposed that the existing document be modified to take the form of a motion for the purpose of presenting the Senate's feedback to the Chancellor. The Senate will consider the conversion of the motion to a resolution at the February 18, 2009 meeting. This action passed with one Senator opposing.
Hearing no further suggestions for discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 4:40pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Graham Crookes, Lei Wakayama

Silent Partner 2 DVD Set with Mark Hatmaker
Paladin Press
Hatmaker starts with conditioning exercises that not only build endurance but also burn basic grappling skills into muscle memory. From there, he moves into the heart of the program: the throwing and takedown skills all groundfighters need to know, and which can only be practiced on a training tool that doesn't have bones to break or a mouth to scream. He teaches throws from such positions as outside arm tie-ups, reverse headlocks, arm drags, flying mares and more. He also includes a special section on suplexes, showing you which muscles you need to develop to do a proper suplex (also called a backcast) from both the front and the back, and how to perform them without injuring yourself.

Teenage swimmer Harry Parker has been selected to compete at this year's Sainsbury's School Games in September.
The 16-year-old from St Albans will represent England East in the swimming, just one of 12 sports being contested at the four day event in Manchester which is supported by National Lottery funding from Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust.
Parker said: "I am very proud to have been selected for the Sainsbury's School Games as it is a very prestigious event. To be part of it and to represent the team is something I am very much looking forward to.
"My main aim is to compete well for the team to try and place them as highly as possible. I am looking forward to the experience of the athlete's village and meeting new people from all different sports across the country.
"In the build up to the Sainsbury's School Games I will focus on the specific racing skills as opposed to stamina building, so that I am ready to perform to the best of my ability."
A number of British stars have all been on the same journey and experienced competing at the Sainsbury's School Games before going on to sporting success at a senior level.
In 2008 Team GB's rising star of the heptathlon, Katarina Johnson-Thompson bagged a gold medal and with it the record of 1.78m in the girls' high jump. Paralympic swimming gold medallist, Ellie Simmonds took gold and two silvers in the pool in 2006. Paralympic gold medallist sprinter Jonnie Peacock came first in 2009's Ambulant 100m, setting a then record time of 12:85.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A chilly home is what brought Daniel Blair to AA Bottled Gas on Wednesday.
He filled up his tank with propane, eager to get it back to his house.
"I was surprised this morning when I woke up and about 10 o'clock I was just out of gas and no heat," Blair said.
But for Jamison Wendia, his stop wasn't about getting propane for the day but creating a reserve.
"After seeing the news, you know, we've got some kind of national shortage going on, so I like to be prepared," Wendia said.
A propane shortage is plaguing much of the Midwest and Northeast in the midst of a cold winter. The governor of Ohio has already declared an energy emergency in his state to speed propane shipments. And officials in 33 states from Minnesota to Maine have taken similar steps.
David Pinkstaff, co-owner of AA Bottled Gas in Jacksonville, said while his company doesn't have as much propane as it usually does, it's nothing like what many are experiencing across the country.
He said the company has enough to last at least two weeks and has been limiting the amount customers can buy to stay on target.
"For cooking customers, we're limiting it to 23 gallons right now, and for heating customers, we're limiting to 50 gallons to 75 gallons, depending on their type of heating appliance they have, whether it's a partial heating or whole house heating," Pinkstaff said.
That's enough propane to last most customers for a few months, but it's more expensive.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, prices are around record highs, up more than 17 percent from a year ago. For Pinkstaff's customers, a gallon of propane gas costs about 70 cents more than it did at the beginning of the winter.
Despite the challenges, Pinkstaff said he's optimistic they will melt away with this winter's snow. And he offers this advice to customers:
"I don't think you should worry, you know," he said. "Just, if you're normally running your heat really high, turn it down, turn it off during the day when you're not home. And manage what you have. You'll probably be fine."
The staff at AA said most people have been very cooperative, though on occasion they have somebody who gets a little bit upset. Once they explain it to them that they're just trying to make sure everybody has some propane, the customers seem to be OK with it.

Ligue 1: Sochaux interim president Alain Courdier plays down fears
Sochaux's interim president Alain Courdier has played down concerns over the Ligue 1 strugglers' financial situation.
Last Updated: 11/03/13 7:35pm
The club, who slipped into the relegation zone after Saturday's 5-1 hammering against Evian, are bankrolled by car giants Peugeot who received news last month of a record 5billion euro (£4.4bn) loss reported by PSA Peugeot Citroen.
But Courdier told the club's official website: "PSA's difficulties do not concern the club because it is financially independent and does not rely on the group's help.
"The difficulties throughout French and European football are perhaps detrimental to sporting performance in the short term but it is an economic necessity.
"We will continue in this way, while striving to improve our (on-field) results."
Courdier paid tribute to former president Alexandre Lacombe, who stood down last month, but revealed a permanent successor will not be in place until at least the end of April.
"I can only praise Alexandre Lacombe's work," he said. "He put in place a structure with the right people in the right positions. The team have the cards in their hand to succeed.
"The post will be decided by a PSA committee. A shortlist has been drawn up with (club vice-president) Christian Peugeot and (director) Xavier Peugeot and the choice will be endorsed by the group at the highest level.
"In the best case, the new president will be in place in late April or early May."

Yet another one of my random record store buys in league with Gehenna and Gorguts. Sadly this album does not even come close to the quality of those two albums. What we have here in my opinion, is an album that got marked as a classic of its genre because it was one of the only of its genre back when it was released. Though Frost ceraintly set some foundations for the more atmospheric and epic of metal genres, that is all that is here. Foundations.
Now even today there are limited bands that play 'viking metal'. And if you are one of the few die hard viking metal fans out there, this album may still interest you. But for me, even with the limited number of bands, hell, even with Enslaved's other albums, there is much better material out there. The only reason I got this album in the first place was because I really like Viklingr Veldi, especially the song Vetranott. Besides that, other better albums of this genre include Windir's 1184, Bathory's Hammerheart, and though I haven't listened to much of their other albums I can say that Moonsorrow's V: Havitetty is much better than this.
Like the first release, Frost retains a large black metal vibe. However the raw, enchanting quality of the first album is transformed into a tamer, slower and softer piece. That wouldn't be a huge problem if the production didn't tank along with the aggression. All the delictably grittty flavor of the premier release is gone, and all that is left behind is a quiet album. Bad production is maintained, but the 'good' aspects if bad production are left out. It is hard to explain. There is a difference between soft, quiet production and raw, evil production.
It's like this. Poorly produced albums are fine and I will often give albums the benefit of the doubt. But the soft and cleaner production here couples with the soft and cleaner music to create an album that just doesn't know what it is. Then you throw in Grutle's harsh vocals and you get something confusing, and boring. The clean parts seem more out of place and less symbiotic then they do on Viklingr. Mellotron and keyboard no longer work with the raw guitars and drums to create a unique sound. They instead work against them to create a work with no cohesion at all. The intro is the only song with any wholeness to it all. The ambient effects completely take away from the riffs on other songs.
Then there are the riffs in general. Simple and dull and repetitive and repetitive and repetitive. Yeah I get that black metal is repetitive, but this is just sad. Especially when the riffs are not catchy or memorable at all. As are the drumming and bass. Dull and duller. The bass slides on Yggdrasil are actually pretty sweet, and Yggdrasil is probably the only song I have any love for at all. The album just seems to be trying way too hard to be different for its own good.
Plus the clean parts are really lacking as well. The 'atmosphere' here as no feeling or vibe to it at all. It's just clean breaks for the sake of clean breaks. You know how when you listen to Blood Fire Death you just want to go on a quest or something? Well the clean breaks here make you want to listen to something else. There is nothing to them at all really. Just sound.
I really wanted to like this album. I tried listening to it like ten times before I got all the way through and I was barely awake at the end of it all. Even for fans of the genre, there are just way better albums out there. Repetitive riffs, poor production, overuse of clean breaks , and severe lack of cohesion ruin this album. Unless you really want more viking metal just ignore it.
For boring and boringer, I give Frost by Enslaved a 33 out of 100 or a 2 out of 5

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) gave a press conference on March 23, 2014, with an update on how a visual search was being conducted in an area which had been previously defined through the use of satellite imagery. Here is the transcription of the press conference, given by Amsa emergency response division general manager John Young and Mr Mike Barton, one of the rescue coordination centre chiefs, in full:
John Young: Good afternoon everyone. The operation today is a logical continuation from yesterday's operation. You might recall we define the search area based on satellite imagery. We now have a little more satellite imagery than previously. China provided us with an image last night, provided to us, and that we have incorporated that into our search planning. Today is really a visual search again. And visual searches take some time. They can be difficult. Our plan is to continue seeking to make sightings from the visual search, looking for the objects identified in the satellite imagery. We did make one sighting yesterday afternoon which was reported in Amsa's media release. And for just a little more detail, I will ask one of the rescue coordination centre chiefs, Mr Mike Barton, to give some very short rundown on the aircraft operations for the day and how we're following up on what was started yesterday.
Mike Barton: Today's search, as John...is about a visual search, a complete change of emphasis from earlier searching using radar. So we're into a more defined area based on the satellite imagery. We have eight aircraft searching today - four civil jets and four military aircraft. The nature of daylight in that part of the world means we're only just getting into searching now and the search will go on into late evening Eastern states time. The civil aircraft are crewed with emergency service volunteers who've been trained in aerial observer techniques in Western Australia, and we have used some from Victoria earlier as well, and a military aircraft. This is their professional bread and butter, the maritime patrol aircraft. The area continues to change as the water's movement changes and we continue to track down with self-locating datum buoys and we also seek expert opinions from organisations like the CSIRO, the United States coast guard and others. We put all that information together and any new intelligence that comes to us about satellites to formulate an area and we will redo it again tonight based on what observations might have occurred in today's flying and look to go out and search it again. And then we will do it again and again until we have some sort of closure or positive sightings in the area.
Q: Can we get more of a sense of what the visuals are yielding? There was reference to one yesterday. Has any more come in today? And just on...that happened to be a wooden pallet because reference has been made to that publicly.
Mike Barton: Yes, part of the description was a wooden pallet, and a number of other items which were nondescript around it, and some belts of different colours around it as well, strapping belts of different lengths. We tried to refind that yesterday with one of the New Zealand aircraft. And, unfortunately, they didn't find it, and that's the nature of it. You only have to be off by a few hundred metres in a fast travelling aircraft and so we've gone back to that area again today to try and refind it but also continuing on with a methodical search of the rest of the area looking for these objects which are showing up in the satellite imagery to try and give us some clues.
Q: Would a wooden pallet normally be associated with an aircraft? Or would the containers be more containerised...
Mike Barton: Yes, we asked the same questions ourselves. So we went to some of the expert airlines and the use of wooden pallets is quite common in the industry. They can be packed, they're usually packed into another container, which is loaded in the belly of the aircraft. But within that container, it's quite common to have items on pallets and then put into the other items. It's a possible lead, that we will need to be very certain that this is a pallet because pallets are used in the shipping industry as well.
Q: Any descriptions of other debris, has any description been put on other debris?
Mike Barton: Well, we're not describing as debris. What was described to us was a number of objects around which they couldn't quite determine what they were. The only other items that would give any real description were straps that were there, and again that could be anything, and so until we refind these items and have a good look at them, it's hard to say whether they are associated with this or not.
Q: And the search for debris that was located by the Chinese satellite, can yo update us as to what's happening?
Mike Barton: Well, again, that satellite showed an image of something that was in that area. It's consistent with other images from the early days of three or four days ago, in an area and the time and sizes. So again the focus of our visual search is to locate some of these items and just find out what they are. The difficulty appears to be that looking straight down from above and the satellite is showing an object of some description, they are giving us sizes but actually determining what it is from an aircraft, a lot lower attitude, looking into the sun or with the highs(??) and all the rest of it is proving difficult to relocate these items.
Q: What's the biggest challenge so far in the search?
Mike Barton: The challenge of this search hinges around its remoteness from anywhere. The aircraft are operating in extreme ranges from Perth, which is the closest airfield, then Raaf Base Perth, which is just up the road. And so at 2,500 kilometres away, they are operating at the limits of their endurance and only having a short period of one to two hours in the search area and then back again. So that's only allowing us to getting a singular search a day, which is again spreading the search out .for several days.
Q: Visuals on other objects. Have any reports of those come in subsequent to yesterday?
Mike Barton: No, yesterday was the first visual sighting we've had in the search so far. And today, as I said, because of the time zone difference, we're only just getting into some searching out there. So we're waiting to see what other observations are made out there. The weather was not as good today. Initially started, there were sea fog and low cloud out there. But the reports we're getting back now is that the western half of the area is quite clear. And it appears to be clearing to the east. So we're hopeful we're going to get a full search in with some good conditions.
John Young: Thanks very much, Mike. If there are any questions of a general nature, I will be happy to take them.
Q: Just assets in the days ahead, are they likely to increase, decrease or remain as they are?
John Young: We're likely to see an increase in the availability of assets. Two Chinese Ilyushin 76 aircraft flew into Perth yesterday. They are preparing themselves today and will be engaged in the search operations tomorrow.
Q: Has there been an indication from China, in particular that they have an unusually high degree of commitment to this ,greater than you would expect given where they are in the globe?
John Young: China clearly has an intense interest in this search operation. I believe they had 154 people on board the aircraft. And as we know from media reporting, the Chinese relatives and families are desperately concerned with the progress of this search. So China has offered two Ilyushin 76 aircraft, and there are a number of warships on the way to the area. The Chinese polar research and supply ship, Xuelong, which we worked with in an incident in January in the Antarctic, is now on the way to the search area. So China is very focused on assisting with the earch.
Q: Would it be reasonable to expect that having more ships in there now could help with the visual identification process, or do planes remain the best tool for that?
John Young: Actually you need both to do this perfectly well. You need aircraft to cover the large areas and get sightings. And you need ships or helicopters, but it's a very long way for a helicopter, but you need ships to actually get up close and potentially recover material, so that in fact it can be identified. Mike spoke earlier about identifying the pallet. That means really recovering it onboard, looking at the markings on it, for example.
Q: How many ships are involved in...
John Young: At the moment HMAS Success is the only ship that's active in the search. We released the merchant ship that had been there yesterday in anticipation of bad weather coming through. Chief was worried about cargo damage and had done three days worth of work. So we released her. I think it will be probably Tuesday that Chinese ships will start to arrive.
One last question.
Q: And on satellite imagery, has any nation or any agency or corporation indicated that there might be further supply of imagery of use?
John Young: We are taking our satellite imagery from the Australian geospatial intelligence organisation, who are doing the vacuuming up of material and processing and providing a service to us. And as was briefed earlier, China provided the satellite image to us last night. We didn't request it. China provided it. And that's the way that rescue organisations work with each other.
Could I finish by reminding everyone that our focus here is to define the very best search area that we can and we think if this aircraft took the southern corridor, we have the best search area that we can. As Mike indicated earlier it's been peer reviewed by other organisations and we have good aircraft, we have good controllers, we have good observers. So when we get the breaks in the weather, we will do the best visual search we can. Amsa still holds the gravest of concern.

The 23rd Annual Pie Auction for Student Government was held Thursday, Nov. 20, in the Chiefland Middle High School cafeteria. This is the largest SGA fund raiser and it helps to fund projects throughout the school year.
One Levy County teacher is speaking up in saying that the school board is not following the Florida code of ethics for education.
"A culture of intimidation and fear of retaliation exists in Levy County schools," said Chiefland Middle High School teacher Gerald "Jerry" Lawrence during the public comment section of a school board meeting on Tuesday morning. Lawrence teaches U.S. History to eighth grade students.
Chiefland Middle High School Principal Matt McLelland, second from left, shows off the $2,780 check that represents the proceeds of a Drive 4UR School promotion sponsored by White Ford and Ford Motor Company.
Students, from left to right, Christian Reyes, Payton Levy and J.C. Kennedy represent groups like the Student Government Association that will share in the cash for their student projects.
Adults over the age of 18 who test drove a new Ford vehicle in August earned a $20 per drive donation for the students.
Children from Kountry Kids Learning Center in Chiefland stopped by the Chiefland Citizen Friday during the school's annual fall hay ride through town.
The Chiefland Citizen appreciates the visit. It gives everyone a reason to smile.
On Sept. 25, the Health Academy Seniors at Chiefland High School prepared a luncheon in honor of business partners who, over the years, have sponsored their class and HOSA club. The senior students prepared a home-cooked meal for those who attended. During the luncheon the students addressed the different activities they participate in throughout the year.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States, and when people other than first responders and healthcare providers know CPR, a victim's survival rate can more than double.
With that in mind, Levy County Department of Public Safety offered and provided the Chiefland Middle High School Health Academy students with CPR training.
Head Start students in Bronson stand where they hope to build a raised garden with the help of parents, grandparents and community volunteers.
Lowe's of Lady Lake donated the construction materials. Lowe's plant vendors donated the plants to get the garden started so the kids will be able to harvest fresh vegetables in time for Thanksgiving. In the spring, seeds will be started in the classroom. The idea is to show the children that their food not only comes from the grocery store but that they can also grow everything in their own backyards.
It's called a "rite of passage" for Chiefland Elementary School third grade students by their Principal Angel Thomas.
The "rite" is the distribution of dictionaries in English and Spanish to every third grade student at CES, Whispering Winds Charter and Cedar Key Elementary School by the Chiefland Rotary Club.
The Chiefland and Williston Rotary Clubs join together annually to provide every third grade student in the county with a dictionary to help increase their vocabulary and literacy skills.
Nature Coast Middle School is now offering "Wild Things," an exploration of our natural world and native creatures.
This school year, the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge has partnered with Wild Things instructor John Lohde so tudents might have the right tools for wildlife observation, nature journaling and conservation study.
Chiefland Elementary School 5th grade gifted and enrichment students visited the Cedar Key Historical Museum recently.
The class also visited the town's Smithsonian Museum on Main Street exhibit on "The Way We Work."

A DIE-HARD Bolton Wanderers fan has paid his own permanent tribute to Whites legend Nat Lofthouse.
Allan Mather, aged 53, who was brought up in Deane, has had an image of the Lion of Vienna tattooed on the top of his arm.
He decided to get the inking following the 85-yearold's death last January and had it done at Psycho Monkey, Adlington .
The HGV driver said: "It was just when he died last year, it is my little tribute.
"He's Bolton's favourite son."
The tattoo is based on a photograph of the footballer, taken at the 1958 FA Cup final which saw Bolton Wanderers beat Manchester United 2-0, thanks to two goals from Nat.
Mr Mather said: "I just think that picture says everything about him.
"I get lots of comments, everybody thinks it's brilliant.
"You don't get many people like him that stay with one club."
The striker played more than 500 games and scored 285 times for Bolton, between 1946 and 1960, and also scored 30 goals in 33 matches for England.
He worked for Wanderers in a number of roles after he hung up his boots, including chief coach, chief scout, caretaker and club president.
Mr Mather, who has various other tattoos including an image of his grandfather, Joe Barker, said: "I've been watching Bolton since 1973, home and away.
"I'm a season ticket holder.
I never miss, home or away."
The father-of-two, who now lives in Chorley, said the tattoo took more than six hours and cost £360.
He also has a tattoo of the BWFC club badge, which he had done in the 1980s.
A statue of Whites legend Nat will be unveiled at the Reebok Stadium on what would have been his 88th birthday — August 27, 2013.
It is based on the image of him walking out of the tunnel at Burnden Park holding the ball.
Bolton people have raised more than £35,000 to help pay for the statue with his family also making a significant donation.

So is the data plan required?
to go on the internet i'm guessing.
I was hoping it would be the 19 dollar plan they have on their site, but looks like that's too good to be true. Looks like I'll be the one that's not getting the data plan.
I will definitely just try using my current data plan works on my e6 for browsing/email.

I am the one to confirm it thanks to some smoozing of the att lady
anyways assuming she is right you must have the data plan to use the net, so most likely must have it to buy the phone. She could not confirm that part as they do not know. She said without question there will be a sim card. She said the data plan will be the same as the current one that they offer for the blackberry devices ($40) but it might have a new name for the iphone
i called him and him him post it ct
Cash=Phone info god
im wit cingular right now. i have a 1000 sms and 5mb of internet for $15 a month. wont that work with my (if i get one. lol) iphone?
Nobody knows
doesnt seem like it. need the higher data plans. since the browser is high quality and uses more info (like the blackberries) they require more $
but most of the time ill be using wifi. for example during the school year. im hooked up with wifi cuz my school is covered. and so is my house. which is were i spend most of my time...
i dont think cingular cares that you will be using wifi instead of their network, they care that you have the potential to use their data network, maybe they wont require a data plan, who knows, even the att employees dont know yet. They will only say the data plan is $40

Karl Fredrik Henrik Åkesson[1] is a Swedish heavy metal guitarist. He is a current member of Opeth.[2] He is also active in Krux,[3] Monsters of Metal and Talisman.[4]
Åkesson has been playing guitar since the age of 12. His early musical influences include Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen and George Lynch. Marcel Jacob, founder of Talisman, held auditions in 1992 to find a new guitar player after Jason Bieler left them to play with Saigon Kick; the 19-year-old Åkesson was selected for the position. He spent almost four years with Talisman and after five records decided to leave them for a heavier outfit. Åkesson, Mats Levén, John Levén, and Rickard Evensand formed a band called Eyeball who would later change their name to Southpaw. In 1998 Åkesson appeared on two albums: Southpaw's debut album and Naïve by Clockwise. He also recorded a version of Journey's classic "Send Her My Love" with Clockwise for a tribute album that was never released.
Åkesson returned to record and tour with Talisman. They worked on two new studio efforts: Cats and Dogs (2003) and 7 (2006) plus a live album called Five Men Live (2005) which was released on DVD as World's Best Kept Secret. In 2004, Åkesson filled in for Tiamat guitarist Thomas Petersson on tour and was featured in the The Church of Tiamat DVD release in 2006. He also appeared on the Sabbtail album Night Church, again with Mats Levén.
Åkesson co-wrote two tracks on the album Optimus by John Norum and appeared in the recordings. He also played with melodic death metal band Arch Enemy from 2005 to 2007, having been recruited when original Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott took an 18-month break from September 2005 until his return in March 2007. Åkesson also played on the Krux album II, released in 2006. In 2007, he appeared with Krux in the Sweden Rock Festival.
On 17 May 2007 the progressive death metal band Opeth announced that Åkesson would replace departed guitarist Peter Lindgren. Åkesson's first tour with the band was the Progressive Nation Tour with Dream Theater and Between the Buried and Me. Åkesson's first album with Opeth was Watershed (2008) in which he co-wrote the song "Porcelain Heart" with Mikael Åkerfeldt. The album Heritage was released in September 2011, also with one song (the bonus track "Pyre") co-written by Åkesson.
Fredrik Åkesson had an endorsement arrangement with ESP Guitars which continued into 2007. He also had his own signature model.[5] Since joining Opeth, Åkesson switched to PRS Guitars with Marshall JVM 410 amps and cabs. In the "Porcelain Heart" videoclip he can be seen using a PRS Mark Tremonti Signature guitar. In 2009, Fredrik has switched to Blackstar Amplification, using the Series One 200. In addition to his Blackstar amps, Fredrik also uses Fractal Audio's Axe FX effects processor. He left Blackstar in 2012, switching his endorsement to Marshall amps. In 2011, PRS guitars produced his signature model PRS.

Mike Tyson's newest sport? Competitive pigeon racing.
In the just-announced Animal Planet series Taking on Tyson, cameras will follow the former heavyweight champion, 43, as he works with a team of bird experts to train New York City pigeons for competition.
"Tyson's passion for pigeons takes my breath away," Animal Planet Media President Marjorie Kaplan said in a statement.
The boxer has loved birds his whole life; his first physical fight, in fact, was to defend a bird.
Think you know your celebs? Sign up for Us Weekly's Celebrity Fantasy League and win prizes!
"To rear, train and race pigeons -- or "homers" -- requires dedication and tenderness," Kaplan added. "For many pigeon racers, these avian athletes are the king of the bird world. Their intelligence, spirit, titanic bonders of loyalty and astounding homing ability sets them apart from other birds," Kaplan said.
Taking on Tyson will debut early next year.

Contained Places
Carbondale is a city in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, United States. Carbondale is located approximately 15 miles due northeast of the city of Scranton in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The population was 8,891 at the 2010 census.
The land area that became Carbondale was developed by William and Maurice Wurts, the founders of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, during the rise of the anthracite coal mining industry in the early 19th century. Carbondale was the site of the first deep vein anthracite coal mine in the United States. It was also a major terminal of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad.
Like many other cities and towns in the region, Carbondale has struggled with the demise of the once-prominent coal mining industry that had once made the region a haven for immigrants seeking work so many decades ago. Immigrants from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, and from throughout continental Europe came to Carbondale in the course of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries to work in the anthracite and railroading industries.
Today, the Carbondale Historical Society and Museum records and maintains that history. The Carbondale City Hall and Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
The Carbondale mine fire began in Carbondale in 1946.

Wotton Rovers U10s 4 Rockleaze Rangers U10s 1
WOTTON continued their fine current form with a first half performance that blew away Rockleaze.
Captain and man of the match Jamie Stacey fired Wotton ahead after five minutes with a powerful finish from the edge of the box.
Jack Powell followed suit shortly afterwards with a wonderful curling effort that found the bottom right hand corner and he was on hand minutes later to finish smartly from a pin-point cross from Ethan Smith.
Powell returned the compliment towards the end of the half, his through ball allowing Smith to finish clinically.
A re-energised Rockleaze came out in the second half but they were only able to pull one back as Mackenzie Hannigan, Joel Langdon and Jamie Kershaw withstood wave after wave of attack.
The boys were back in action on Sunday, but this time washing windscreens to raise funds for the team at Bear Street Garage, Wotton.
