While the board approved fundraising ventures for the new LHS facilities, they also approved a contract with Cumberland University to allow the schools football program to utilize Nokes-Lasater Field at the old LHS starting with the 2012 season.
Zone 1 Board Member Vikki Adkins and Zone 5 Board Member Greg Lasater voted against the contract with Cumberland.
The board also declared timber adjacent to Rutland Elementary School as surplus, which is required by the boards policies before the timber is removed and auctioned.
The timber must be removed by Sept. 1 and once removed, work can begin preparing the property for a new Pre-K through 2nd grade school building to be built next to Rutland Elementary.
Last month, the board and Wilson County Commission approved the issuing of $35 million in bonds to expand Rutland Elementary and West Elementary as well as West Wilson Middle School.

UPDATE: Cheyenne's Blue Cemetery Fountain [PHOTOS]
Did you know where Cheyenne's blue fountain is located or why it's that color?
We tracked down the answers. Congratulations to Tamera Hammack who had the correct location at our Facebook page, and thanks to Scott Heatherington for solving the mystery.We wondered if we'd found the Smurf's secret hideout, or if the blue coloring was a nice gesture honoring Cheyenne's recent fallen soldier or the East T-Birds football championship. As it turns out, none of this was the reason.
The fountain can be found in the cemetery north of Pershing Boulevard. I tracked down a 33-year employee with the City of Cheyenne who originally helped build the water feature.
The Assistant Director of Cemeteries, Scott Heatherington, says he wishes the reason for the blue color made a better story. To limit algae blooms, they add a chemical called 'Aqua Shade' to the pond and it turns the water blue.
The water feature is also a koi pond so you can see live fish in it… when the ice melts, at least. While I was there snapping a few photos from a nearby marble bench, the area felt really relaxing. Until the peace was broken by a noisy flock of geese flying overhead.

Darjeeling, Dec. 26: The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha has demanded that the three-member fact-verification committee, constituted to look into the the partys territory grievances, be asked to conduct a spot visit before its places its report before the government.
The demand was placed by the Morcha at the review committee meeting with Centre and state representatives in New Delhi today.
A field visit an exercise that was not conducted before the Justice Shyamal Sen Committee filed its report is unlikely to be conceded by the state government.
The Sen committee had recommended inclusion in the GTA of only five of the 396 mouzas demanded by the Morcha. Following the Morchas protest against the report, the three-member committee was formed to look into the grievances of the hill party.
The visit is important to understand the ground realities, said Roshan Giri, the general secretary of the Morcha who was at the meeting. The other Morcha representative was Trilok Dewan, the Darjeeling MLA.
The state government was represented by home secretary Basudeb Banerjee, while the Centre was represented by additional secretary (home) S.K. Skandan, Giri said over phone from Delhi.
The party has also demanded an increase in the Centres special package to the GTA, speedy transfer of departments, inclusion of all Gorkha communities in the ST list and the need for a Constitutional amendment for introducing a three-tier panchayat system in the hills.
We have demanded that the Rs 200 crore special package from the Centre be increased to Rs 400 per annum, Giri said. We also raised the demand for transferring the reserve forest to the GTA, said Giri.
The state government has also assured the Morcha that over 150 cases initiated by the government against Morcha supporters would be withdrawn within 10 days. Basudeba Banerjee has assured that the transfer of all departments would be completed by December 31, Giri said.

Dexter Jackson ready for Romanian Grand Prix
by Allan Donnelly
October 5, 2008
The new Mr. Olympia is taking his show on the road. Proving he's not willing to rest on the biggest victory of his career, newly-crowned Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson will be competing in the Romanian Pro Grand Prix on October 11 in Timosoara, Romania. Jackson, who last weekend unseated Jay Cutler as the No. 1 bodybuilder in the world, is the only top Olympia competitor traveling to Romania. Aside from Jackson, Ronny Rockel and Sergey Shelestov are the only competitors from last weekend's Olympia competing in Romania. Considering the lineup, Jackson - cautious of sounding overly confident - expects nothing less than another win, which would be his fifth of the 2008 season.
"I'm in such good shape right now, and no one from here is gonna be there," Jackson said, "so I think it looks pretty good."
It will be the second time Jackson has traveled out of the United States to compete. In March, after winning the Arnold Classic for the third time in his career, Jackson won both the Australian and New Zealand Pro Grand Prix contests. By all accounts, Jackson - amazingly - was better in those two contests than he was at the Arnold. The 39-year-old expects more of the same this time around.
"I think I get better as I go," Jackson said. "I'm definitely gonna be in better condition. When I fly I get drier for some reason, so I have to drink a lot of water just to slow the process down. Most guys, when they fly they get bloated."
According to Jackson, he's still getting used to the idea of being the new Mr. O.
"I'm walking around and just thinking Mr. Olympia, Mr. Olympia .. that's all that's going through my mind," Jackson laughed. "But it still hasn't sunk in yet. My girlfriend called me, her and some of my friends were like Come on Mr. Olympia. And I'm like, No. That doesn't sound right, don't call me that yet. Jay told me it's gonna take about three or for months. He said that's how long it took for it to sink in for him."

" If you're looking for Dreamcast news, previews and reviews then you might want to try out DC-UK. From Future Publishing. "
It was a sad few months for dedicated and loyal Dreamcast owners, who were firstly dealt the ultimate blow as Sega announced they were to stop production of the Dreamcast, which although had reached the sales targets (exceeded them slightly in fact), had cost Sega an incredible amount of money - they were making huge losses per console sold, as with all the games console producers, and they decided a change was the only way to go about keeping their name alive and bringing the Sega quality titles to peoples homes, and PS2 owners are currently looking forward to the brilliant (year old) Crazy Taxi, which is out on the 27th of April, over 14 months after the initial Dreamcast release, and this new version isn't even on a graphical par. Still, enough of that, what I should be saying is that with this decision to leave the hardware market, coupled with the financial struggle and staff laying off at Future Publishing (they produce a number of Console/PC magazines), meant that the best Dreamcast magazine out their, DC-UK was to stop. So as from two months ago I have had to endure the insane, demoralising complex language used in EDGE magazine as Future Publishing have now transferred the Subscription, which is fair enough! However, with the only 'decent' Dreamcast magazine left being the Official Dreamcast Magazine (ODM), it looks as though the Dreamcast community is slowly, but surely fading away, but at least the online gaming factor is proving immensely popular still! Anyone for a quick frag? (Quake 3 Arena Online) Okay, so why is, I mean 'was', DC-UK the best? Well let me tell you! Needless to say, a big hand to the people that made it interesting reading - Keith Stuart (the editor), Lee hart, Claire Howlett, Neil Randall, Karl Jaques, Andrew Hind and Adrian Lawton who all worked for the magazine. So what was the best part of the magazine? Well, it was all good, mostly. The price! Most gaming magazines, aside from being
bias, uninteresting, written by people on a 'higher level' than us normal people, and generally not very good to read, they are usually very high in price. Edge magazine is £3.80, and half of its just advertisement space! Official PlayStation 2 magazine comes in at a penny under a fiver, although you do get a DVD with a demo or two and some FMV of forthcoming games, but compared with DC-UK they're both expensive! At just £2.99, or £2 per issue if you subscribed (a third off!) you didn't get a GD-rom full of the latest demos; to my knowledge there was only ever one Demo disc of the Bizarre Creations game 'Fur Fighters', but you did get a great magazine that you as a reader had some influence over. So, in terms of value, this was unbeatable! Layout and presentation wise, DC-UK improved up until it's 20th and final edition and so at the start (although I only subscribed from issue 7) it didn't seem overly professional with really poor quality screen shots, some dodgy printing, and a really messy design in my view, but as I say it got better. The shape of magazine change from being short and fat, to the more traditional shape, like nearly every other Future publishing magazine. The index page was always helpful, with everything in a familiar place, from the reviews down to the letters - the layout stayed roughly the same, with around 100 pages per issue. The latest/last edition still looks a bit frantic and messy in comparison to the official magazines, but as they saying goes 'don't judge a...' You know the rest. Content! Okay this is the most important part of it all, and there's a lot to write about, but I'll keep it short and snappy, if that's possible. Previews: Every month, as with most magazines, there was a dedicated previews section full of interesting facts and initial thoughts on forthcoming titles, some still haven't even made it out yet (for instance I have no idea wher
e Giant Killers – the would-be only Dreamcast football management available, and if anyone has any information on what's happened to Unreal Tournament then I'd be happy to hear!), but most of the games did make the expected release date. In every preview, they managed to pick out their favourite quote that'd sum up the author's feelings of the particular game – for those who have little time to read the whole text, but will still act upon someone's opinion ("rate my opinion very useful!"). Anyway, each preview contained screen shots to whet the appetite, as well as an 'In a Nutshell' box with the main details in a brief summary. Reviews: With some magazines, I get the impression that they're rating the games too highly, and for example on BBC's Ceefax pages (535) their reviewer, a certain David Gibbon (if he's a member on dooyoo, then so be it), tells the viewers in a tiny review how poor a game is and then goes and awards an above average 6/10, which just seems ridiculous, but then OPS2 magazine gave Zone of the Enders 9/10, which is just laughable in my view and shows clearly that they're either not getting many triple A titles to pit them up against, or are being paid a lot to up their scores. Anyway, I felt DC-UK's reviewers were being fair, only ever awarding four 10 out of 10s (Shenmue, MSR, Phantasy Star Online and Soul Calibur) and using a wide range of scores, with poor games getting 3 out of 10, I don't think anything got a '1'. So trusty and reliable reviews, with the DC-UK verdict on graphics, sound, gameplay, multiplayer and the overall all bundled in and around screen shots over a few pages. The readers' participation: Now this is where DC-UK excelled at being a magazine dedicated to its readers! Every month there were competitions on the most popular games, with various prizes being given away to the best scores rec
eived each month – I'm quite pleased to add that I managed a fairly high placing for the Crazy Taxi competitions (go check, see my name). But there were also letters, tips, questions and answers all from the readers. But the best part - you could review the games. Not in as much as they wouldn't have to, but just like you can at dooyoo.co.uk you could at DC-UK by submitting your reviews (of no more than 240 words) and hoping that it'd be used and published, giving you instant fame (although I suppose the reader base wasn't that high) and a prize was given also. I actually had a Quake 3 Arena review printed in the last edition, and won a game and t-shirt! Very nice – but you felt that the magazine included the people for whom it was intended. Overall? Well, aside from the messy layout from time to time, this was the best Dreamcast magazine you could have bought, shame that I can't recommend you to buy it now, seeing as you can't, but I felt I'd submit my review on their magazine. Just to show my appreciation! A full 5 out of 5- may all gaming magazines follow in their style. Ok, hope you liked the opinion, it's late, I need some sleep and you probably should too – so read my review, it may just help! D1A1
This magazine is probably the worst dreamcast magazine I have ever read in my entire life. It does not give detailed reviews like most other magazines do and does not have a very strict rating system. It is like there is one man who plays a game for two minutes and then quickly writes down what he thinks of it! Different people like different things and they just rate what they think and do not think about other people's opinions. Also this magazine is not cheep, which is disappointing because frankly it is not worth it. You do not get any free gifts or a demo disk, which I know for a fact at least nine out of ten magazines give away at LEAST one of these. This magazine is overall the worst magazine anyone can ever buy! I know this information because I have four issues of it and all of them are the same old useless thing! if i was you i would not buy this magazine because of all the reasons above.. I would recommend that you buy the official magazine, as it is about one thousand times better! Thank you for reading my opinion and I hope you liked it.
Brilliant magazine. Most importantly, it's unbiased and gives all games a fair chance. The reviews are spot on, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's hilarious. Clearly aimed at a more mature audience than most console magazines, it's witty and sleek, with it's tongue firmly in it's cheek. Great presentation tops off the package nicely, and it's reasonably priced. Unlike pretty much all other game magazines, it never reviews unfinished code, and therefore gives a well-informed opinion. Also, although the free gifts are fairly rare, they generally exceed usual expectations- past gifts have included a CD that allowed import games to be played without a chip. The only bad point would be that perhaps the typical console owner is too young to appreciate it fully.

Among the eulogies to Steve Jobs' undoubted genius was a back-handed compliment from the markets on Thursday morning: smartphone manufacturers' shares rose in Asia, apparently on doubts about whether the US company would be able to repeat its innovative success without its founder.
Jobs left his chief executive role in August, but his premature death puts the task of dispelling those doubts firmly in the hands of his successors. It could be a mistake to assume that, because they lack Jobs' charisma, they won't be capable of carrying forward his legacy. Read more

FremantleMedia has denied the details of a magazine story today with the headline, "XFactor sham: The winner was chosen weeks ago."
Woman's Day quotes a fan tweet: "Wow, Sony posted the winner of X Factor 2012, The Collective on their website and Deleted it after realizing. That's how rigged X Factor is.
"The Collective were decided as the winners before the show even aired," wrote another. "Waste of money for the people that voted. It's rigged."
However Sony clarified at the time via Twitter that no such error had been made by them:
"To all asking: we did NOT post on our website/twitter that The Collective win X Factor & then delete the post. This is false information."
TV Tonight understands the original claim was made by a (possibly aggrieved?) fan in the Sony website forum. The September date coincides with the exit of 'rival' boyband What About Tonight.
While The Collective nevertheless remains the hot favourite to win the show, including with considerable media coverage, a FremantleMedia spokesperson nevertheless told TV Tonight, "Our vote each week is independently audited by Ernst & Young.
"There is absolutely no reason to question the integrity of the vote."

The federal government has announced up to 10 more non-combat vessels will be built in British Columbia, raising Seaspan's total order to 17 while giving the province's once-beleaguered shipbuilding industry another multibillion-dollar boost.
Federal Public Works Minister Diane Finley made the announcement Monday in North Vancouver, B.C. The minister said the 10 Coast Guard vessels slated to cost $3.3-billion are in addition to the $35-billion shipbuilding procurement strategy unveiled in 2011.
"With the addition of the non-combat package of the ships that we're announcing today, the total estimated value of projects under the national shipbuilding procurement strategy is now $38.3-billion.
This also means additional years of work for Seaspan and for its employees. That, ladies and gentlemen, represents a lot of good, stable jobs for Canadians, particularly here in B.C.," Ms. Finley said to applause from gathered workers.
The minister said the procurement strategy means the boom-and-bust cycles that have long plagued Canadian shipbuilding are "already becoming a thing of the past."
Seaspan was tabbed two years ago with constructing seven non-combat vessels for $8-billion. The company broke ground on a $200-million upgrade of its facilities last October. The upgrade is expected to be complete in about one more year.
Brian Carter, president of Seaspan Shipyards, wrote in a statement that Monday's announcement marked another milestone in the "rebirth of the shipbuilding industry in British Columbia."
Percy Darbyson, business manager with Marine & Shipbuilders Local 506, agreed. "We're grateful and looking forward to the start of this project," he said in an interview. "Shipbuilding was dying on the West Coast. This whole project has just sparked new life into it. Long-term, it looks really good."
Premier Christy Clark, in a tweet, said she was "very glad" to hear of the additional ships. She said building 10 more vessels will mean "great jobs" for B.C.
Ms. Finley said the $3.3-billion will allow the Coast Guard to acquire up to five multitask vessels, as well as five offshore patrol vessels. Both types of ships are capable of search and rescue and environmental response, and can remain at sea for several weeks.
The minister said the government has committed the money to build up to 10 ships, but must first go through the design process. When asked if the new ships would replace or complement existing vessels, she said it would be a combination of things.
Ms. Clark, in a TV interview last week, said the federal government is not prepared for an oil spill off the B.C. coast. Ms. Finley said the federal government will work to make sure the vessels meet all the identified needs, and Ottawa always collaborates with provinces to protect the environment and Canadians.
The national procurement strategy is in its fourth phase, in which designs are being finalized and infrastructure upgrades completed. Halifax-based Irving Shipbuilding received a $25-billion contract in 2011 to construct 21 combat vessels.
Ms. Finley said the shipbuilding industry is expected to generate $2-billion a year in economic benefits for Canada and thousands of jobs.
Seaspan was flooded with resumes after it was awarded its contract in 2011. Mr. Darbyson said there's still a large pile of applications to go through and he doesn't foresee any problems finding employees.
Walter Gerlach, with the International Association of Machinists Lodge 692, said Monday's announcement was a great one. However, he said the key will be bringing the vessels in on time and on budget. "The machine's going to have to hit on every cylinder every time and hope we don't run into any problems," he said in an interview.Report Typo/Error

A MAN, accused of murdering an Odiham chef, searched "spear gun death accident", "murder by mental illness" and "sentencing for murder in the UK" on the internet in the day leading up to the killing.
But Andrew Morris told a jury at the Old Bailey that the searches related to what he had watched on television.
Morris, 30, of Lavender Sweep, Battersea, London, was found with a harpoon spear stuck in his chin after he killed his housemate Henry Stangroom, 21, by stabbing him in the chest in revenge for his sister Michelle Stangroom, 28, breaking up with him.
Mr Stangroom who worked at The Criterion restaurant, in Piccadilly Circus, had previously lived with his parents in Rye Common, Odiham.
Morris, a former Cambridge University mathematics student, started giving evidence on Monday, describing the events that led up to Mr Stangroom's death, on October 17 last year.
Days before the incident, while Morris was off work, he searched online for how long it takes for someone to bleed to death and about spear gun accidents. Morris said the searches were related to what he had been watching on television.
When Morris was arrested for murder, he told the police the last thing he could remember was hugging former girlfriend Miss Stangroom on the doorstep a few days previously.
However, by the end of Tuesday, the jury were told Morris' memory of the incident had returned.
He said: "My memory of that evening and that morning is probably not as clear as my memory of maybe other days around it, but I have certainly recovered a significant amount of memories around the events of that day."
Roderick Johnson, defending, asked Morris about his childhood and relationship with his father.
The jury heard the discovery of explicit sexual images drawn by his father led to a family breakdown when Morris was 21.
It was only in December last year, when his father visited him in prison, that he heard these drawings were inspired by sexual abuse his father had witnessed as a child, Morris said.
Morris also denied attacking Miss Stangroom, saying he was trying to restrain her, during an argument in the flat on August 29.
He did however tell the jury he had physically abused a previous girlfriend called Ruth Owens, when he discovered she was having an affair with her boss.
Morris denies a single count of murder. He claims he killed Mr Stangroom in self-defence.
The trial continues.

A Length of Akita Shibori: Spare Blue on White Designs
late nineteenth, early twentieth century
51" x 12 1/2", 129.5 cm x 31.75 cm
This is a beautiful length of indigo dyed shibori cotton from Japan's north eastern region called Tohoku. Most likely this shibori was made in Akita.
The cotton itself is hand loomed and is of a very good weight. The shibori is both bound and stitched and the result is a repeat of four little white-on-blue "bouquets" of what appear to be a suggestion of a floral motif, perhaps flowers against a lattice.
The white cotton is bright and rich, the indigo is velvety and deeply colored. In good condition.
Simply beautiful.

Credit Suisse has upgraded
Analysts say the upgrades come after incorporating a full valuation of the company's Macau Studio City (MPEL) into the Crown model and arriving at a discounted cash flow valuation of $US31.
The casino company has a market capitalisation of $US14.5 billion with essentially no net debt, Credit Suisse analysts say, and the asset base is two casinos plus expansion options.
Credit Suisse says if demand for gaming continues to grow in the region, Studio City has a similar capacity to City of Dreams and could be destined to be another venue with $US1 billion in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
The analysts have upgraded normalised earnings per share by 12 per cent to 24 per cent.
However, they say Crown's Australia VIP business is soft as it cedes share to Echo Entertainment Group, which seems to offer more favourable commission rates.
Melbourne's main gaming floor has also been affected by a sluggish consumer and drawn-out refurbishments.
Crown has at least $3 billion of funding capacity over 10 years if MPEL achieves earnings forecasts and pays lucrative dividends, Credit Suisse says.
Earnings per share were 64.92¢ in 2013 and are forecast to be 78.53¢ in 2014 and 94.80¢ in 2015.

It's official: 6-foot-11 Akol joins Bulls' class
Teeng Akol is in.
The 6-foot-11, 225-pound power forward from Sudan, who committed to USF last month, has earned the necessary test scores to officially sign with the Bulls and will start summer classes Monday. It's a big boost to a recruiting class now seven players deep, and Stan Heath said it's a significant step for Akol, months before he ever plays a college game.
"His background is incredible. He's had a unique path to get to this point," Heath said. "He's a Sudanese refugee, but he's persevered. To be in college, it's a dream of his."
Akol continues a major revamping of the power forward position, along with fellow freshman Eladio Espinosa and Maryland transfer Gus Gilchrist, who will join his new teammates Saturday. Heath said upgrading that position was a priority in USF's recruiting efforts.
"That was an area where I felt we were a little overwhelmed in a lot of games last year, especially in the Big East," he said. "It definitely was a focus to plug that hole, and I feel like we've addressed that very well."
Heath said Akol's strength will be his versatility, with range to step out and hit a 3-pointer, but size and physical presence to block shots inside. With all seven newcomers enrolled for summer classes, the new Bulls have an extra month to learn each other and forge chemistry in informal open-gym workouts.
"Teeng has a lot of upside," Heath said. "He has a toughness, an intensity about him, and I think he's going to challenge guys on the court right away. The summer is a major benefit, and it's made a world of difference for us as coaches, having the players coming in in the summer."
Akol joins a group that includes Espinosa, guard Gaby Belardo and centers Gene Teague and Alex Rivas Sanchez. Guard Mike Mercer transferred from Georgia at midseason last year and will be eligible in mid-December, and the Bulls are in the process of submitting a hardship waiver that would potentially allow Gilchrist to play this season without sitting out a year after transferring from Maryland. Walk-on Mitch Emory from Cocoa Beach is also starting summer classes next week as well.
(Yes, we originally said 6-10, 215, because that's what Heath said his height and weight were ... then an hour later, USF's official release says 6-11, 225 ... we'll update next time we get a new set of numbers ... )

a post from last year...
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again is a collection of essays by the late David Foster Wallace that includes several of his most famous works in the form. DFW was, in my opinion, a better essay writer than he was a novelist, but that's not as harsh a criticism as it sounds as I think DFW was one of the best American essayists of the twentieth century. In fiction DFW takes himself a little too seriously for my taste even when he's being humorous, but in non fiction, he's funnier, sharper, deeper and more observant. In A Supposedly Fun Thing there are good essays on television and writing (and a rather boring one on tennis) but my favourite piece in this collection is the one about David Lynch that he wrote for Premiere Magazine where he profiles the director without actually meeting him and reviews one of his masterpieces, Lost Highway, without actually seeing the completed movie. You might not think that this would be a successful strategy for a piece of reportage, but it is. The Lynch essay is a work of genius, up there with the best American movie criticism: just as literate as something from Cahiers Du Cinema but much funner and funnier.
The piece I really want to discuss though is the title essay which concludes the book. A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again is the story of a cruise DFW took around the Caribbean with Carnival. Although not a deliberate humorist in the style of Mark Twain this essay is probably David Foster Wallace's comic masterpiece. Just as it was a great idea to send the landlubber Twain off on the USS Quaker City, it occurred to Colin Harrison, the editor of Harper's at the time, to send the even more nautically challenged DFW off on a vessel named the MV Zenith (that DFW rechristens the Nadir). He was sent on this cruise by Harrison with the aim I think of showcasing American crassness and vulgarity on the high seas but the essay is richer and more compassionate and more interesting than that. While not exactly blue collar himself DFW has sympathy for blue collar aspirations and most of the time he is not a snob. A lot of the essay, clearly, is a pack of lies but lies for comic effect which I think is entirely forgivable especially in a tall tale of the sea. Jonathan Franzen has criticised his friend DFW for making shit up in his non fiction, but I think DFW was pledged to what Werner Herzog calls ecstatic truth - a kind of emotional truth that is truer than what actually actually happened. (Franzen has only been as funny as DFW once when he too had a very funny scene coincidentally set on cruise ship.) A Supposedly Fun Thing has moments of high comedy, low comedy, slapstick, sarcasm, dry humour and of course dead pan irony.
As I say the editor for this essay was Colin Harrison who was my editor for four books at Scribner and the general editor for the one article I wrote for Harper's. Harrison does a pretty good job here. One wonders how long the first draft DFW handed in actually was because the final version runs to over two hours (for an essay) on audiobook, but, I should strees, it's two hours that fly by. I can't predict anyone else's sense of humor but I laughed out loud many times listening to this piece and there were quite a few Sedarian moments of wry amusement too. If I had to fault DFW and Harrison for one thing its the use of the word 'vector'. If you were to have a vodka shot or a glass of wine every time something is being vectored in Fun Thing you would be pretty much shitfaced by the end of it.
If you want to check out a riposte to A Supposedly Fun Thing you can read Tina Fey's Bossy Pants which apparently includes a positive cruising story that riffs on DFW. You can read it. I think I'll give it a miss.

Kirk Chambers faced a rare challenge as the first-year coach of Spanish Fork in 2012.
Chambers was not tasked with taking over a perennial loser like many new coaches, but rather with taking over a successful program that had reached the semifinals of the state playoffs the year before his arrival. Chambers did one better in his first season, taking the team to the Class 3A state championship, where it lost to Dixie.
"I inherited a very strong program," Chambers said. "I saw what was working here, and I kept it as the core principles of what we're trying to do. Then I added whatever and wherever I could."
One thing that Chambers added in 2012 was a sophomore starting quarterback, Jason Money, who helped lead the Dons to a 12-2 record.
With a year of experience to lean on, the junior quarterback and the second-year coach will help lead Spanish Fork to an entirely different challenge: the jump to 4A.
"In preseason games, we've always played 4A and 5A teams, and we've competed well against them," Chambers said. "We know we can compete."
While the transition may not be easy, there is reason to believe the Dons will be successful. Besides Money, Spanish Fork brings back multiple juniors who saw action during their sophomore seasons. The Dons are small but talented along the interior, and they have the edge of knowing what it takes to get to the state championship game.
Spanish Fork Dons
ASSIGNMENT • Region 8
LAST YEAR • 12-2 overall, 5-0 Region 12
KEY RETURNER • Jason Money, jr., QB. Money passed for more than 3,000 yards and rushed for 500 yards in leading his team to the state championship game as a sophomore.
PLAYER TO WATCH • Taylor Noles, jr., RB. Noles had limited carries as a sophomore backup to star senior Braxton Argyle, but with Argyle gone, Noles will have the chance to be the man.
BIGGEST HOLE • Coach Chambers doesn't yet know who will be starting for him in the secondary and doesn't have players with a lot of experience in the defensive backfield.
NEED TO KNOW • Chambers believes that against tougher competition in 4A, the Dons will need to battle for every game, something they didn't always have to do in 3A blowout victories.

It has happened before: In the 1990s, insurers hoped that by using health-maintenance organizations to move their coverage away from expensive doctors and hospitals, they could control health costs while creating an incentive for providers to lower their prices. What they created instead was a popular rebellion, with customers balking at the HMO plans and complaining loudly to Congress about it.
Some analysts see a similar climate brewing now.
"People don't like to hear 'no,' and this is saying 'no,' " said Austin Frakt, a health policy economist at Boston University.
That's clear from the Kaiser Family Foundation's latest tracking poll on the health care law. Among those the foundation surveyed, 51 percent said they'd prefer a broader network and higher premiums, compared with just 37 percent who preferred "a more limited range of doctors and hospitals" in exchange for lower premiums. And most of the 37 percent changed their minds once they were reminded that a plan with "a more limited range of doctors and hospitals" might mean the same thing as "you would not be able to visit the doctors and hospitals you usually use."

Park City Estates - Case Study
Platinum Energy Group has begun implementation of a submetering system for Park City Estates, a multifamily property in Rego Park, NY managed by Cooper Square Realty.
Once completed, each apartment in the 1,049-unit complex will be assigned an individual meter to monitor its energy usage. Park City Estates previously monitored its energy usage through a common meter for all units with residents paying a predetermined amount for their electricity each month.
179 Henry Street - Case Study
Platinum Energy Group has been recognized by Home Energy Magazine for its role in the successful hydronic heat conversion at 179 Henry St. in Manhattan.
In the most recent issue of Home Energy Magazine, Dan Rieber, weatherization director for the Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation (NMIC), describes the process of converting the multifamily building's existing heat to a decidedly more energy-efficient system.
Case Study: Converting Two-Pipe Steam To Hydronic HeatingNew York City is filled with multi-family apartment buildings built before World War II; we often refer to them as prewar buildings. Of course, many wars have been waged since 1945, so I won't use "prewar" as a description. A common trait of these buildings, however, is that they are heated with steam boilers.
Zone Green AmendmentMembers of the New York City Council have unanimously approved the Zone Green Amendment, a package of zoning changes designed to encourage new green construction and make it easier for property owners to undertake energy efficiency upgrades.
NYARM Real Estate Expo, Sept. 12Platinum Energy Group will be among the featured exhibitors at this year's NYARM Real Estate Expo, sponsored by the New York Association of Realty Managers, at the Hotel Pennsylvania on Wednesday, September 12th.
Oil To Natural Gas ConversionsWith the heating season fast approaching, choosing to convert from oil to natural gas. A typical home that converts to natural gas heating will emit up to 40% less carbon dioxide and up to 99.9% less sulfur dioxide. More importantly, switching from oil to natural gas will significantly reduce your building's energy bills.
NYARM Real Estate ExpoPlatinum Energy Group will be among the featured exhibitors at this year's NYARM Real Estate Expo, sponsored by the New York Association of Realty Managers, at the Hotel Pennsylvania on Wednesday, September 12th.
The NYARM Expo is a one-day event that focuses on products and services for owners and managers of multi-unit residential housing. The Expo is expected to draw over 1,000 attendees from the real estate community, offering property owners and managers the necessary information to improve their buildings' operations.
Those attending the Expo can visit Platinum Energy Group at Booth 47 where we will be discussing our various strategies for improving energy efficiency, including boiler replacement, natural gas conversions and lighting technology upgrades.
Platinum Energy Group Adds Value To Real Estate PortfolioWhile the practice of retrofitting buildings with energy conserving technology like efficient boilers and lighting has been around for years, skepticism remains regarding the effectiveness of these energy conservation measures. A new study shows these measures can significantly reduce spending on fuel and electricity.
PEG Boiler Room Prep In RSES JournalSummer may have only just begun, but Platinum Energy Group is already gearing up to begin prepping boilers for the approaching heating season.
Speaking to US Energy COO David Unger in the latest issue of RSES Journal, Platinum Energy Group CEO Stuart Schwartz offers a number of helpful suggestions to ensure building heating systems operate effectively and efficiently throughout heating season. Through a combination of proper routine maintenance, technology, accountability and a commitment to safety, Schwartz assures your boiler systems should be in tip-top condition.

Pregnant women must be aware of these things
Pregnant is the most awaited by women who want to have a baby. So that when the time comes, then you will be greeted with delight. You also definitely will treat the pregnancy well and lovingly.
Unfortunately, the pregnancy often goes not according to what you think. Various kinds of disorders of pregnancy could have come. Reporting from healthmeup.com, here are some of the kinds of disorders of pregnancy and natural way to overcome them.
Fatigue or feeling tired easily become one of the most common disorders in pregnant women. To suppress it, you simply need to keep your rest patterns and drinking lots of water to keep your body always hydrated.
Pregnant women usually experience hemorrhoids due to calcium supplements they are taking. The best way for you to avoid hemorrhoids naturally by eating plenty of fiber-containing foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. However, if the method is less useful, you should soak your body in a tub of warm water. For warm temperatures capable of opening the blood vessels capable of launching the digestive tract work.
Nausea with vomiting, known as morning sickness is also a common thing that affects pregnant women. For ease, you can increase the consumption of vitamin B6 and ginger tea. Gingerol which is the main ingredient of ginger is a natural remedy that has been proven to be good for the cure for nausea and morning sickness. Gingerol has anti-inflammatory properties that counteract stomach acid.
In addition to nausea, heartburn too often suffered by pregnant women. This is due to the increase in gastric acid during pregnancy. To prevent this, the consumption of low-fat foods, not spicy, and not greasy.
The best way to avoid headaches during pregnancy is to control your blood sugar. Snacking on healthy foods, exercise, and get enough rest is the easiest way to prevent dizziness during pregnancy.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are most commonly appears when you are pregnant. Since the appearance of stretch marks can interfere with your physical appearance, then you can reduce the appearance of stretch marks by diligently doing massage on the skin.
During pregnancy, your body is prone to health problems. We recommend that if you are experiencing these things, avoid consuming chemical drugs. Because capable of causing harmful side effects of your pregnancy.

I think that should be the title of every post I write going forward. Because I only seem to be able to come here every year or so. :)
I think I mentioned we're all moved in to our new home. And. LOVING. It.
Carleigh is one year old, Cavan is four, Cullen is six, and Christian is 11.
I can't believe how big my babies are getting!
Christian has been home sick the past two days. She has strep throat. Hubs had it, but not as bad as she does. So he's back at work today. I had it two weeks ago, and it knocked me down hard. I didn't get out of bed (or my jammies) for five days. It. Was. ROUGH.
Tomorrow we lay to rest my great aunt. She's the last living sibling of my grandmother, so it will probably be an emotional day.
And that's really all the updating I have time for now. I have to put together outfits for six people, down to socks and shoes, and make sure they're all ironed and ready to go. Plus find silent forms of entertainment for the littles.
I'll see you when I see you.

The products made by Ericsson that Samsung is trying to ban in the U.S. include base stations for telecommunications networking. And with Ericsson's network business down 17% in Q3, the company is turning to the court to defend its IP portfolio. Samsung, the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, is much smaller than Ericsson in networking equipment. But seeing how the company has grown to dominate smartphone sales, there is no reason why it couldn't repeat the feat in the telecom equipment market which is why Ericsson is so determined to hold on to its current position using the courts,
In other legal news, on Friday, the EU charged Samsung with not negotiating a standards-essential patent in good faith with rivals including Apple. Use of such so-called FRAND patents are supposed to be negotiated "fairly".

DPL has been causing problems with wikia for a while now. And based on current information isn't likely to be fixed. It really only seems to affect RC because of the dynamic lists like Pages needing citation (list), Featured article candidates (list) and Peer review requests (list).
I'm currently suggesting that we remove this feature for the time being until it's determined that wikia has upgraded the servers that handle dpl. It causes severe load times on the Recent Changes and sometimes doesn't respond at all...so anyway...yeah, just a suggestion. — Morder 21:34, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

: Norwegian Gem Cruise Review by shade34098
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
Overall service on the ship was deplorable, though not to say there weren't a few shining stars on the staff. Sadly, the bad staff severely outweighed the quality staff. On at least 4 occasions in 2 different restaurants, we sat and waited for in excess of 20 minutes for someone to come over and offer bread/water, take our order, etc. The whole philosophy of "Freestyle" goes out the window when they want to. If you want something during the night, your choices are to get dressed and go down to the restaurant that is open, and sit there and eat (no takeout allowed, and a big sign saying NO TAKEOUT) or pay $4 for room service (which you can't get the same things as if you More went to the restaurant).
There is ONE, yes ONE drink menu for the entire ship. Every bar has the same 30 items. Supposed to be "themed" bars, yet there is only a few drinks available.
We signed up our 12 year old to do Swimming with the dolphins in Anguilla (St Martin Port) and since his mother and I wanted to just come and watch, we were told by the staff (stateside) we would have to buy an observers pass, which we were okay with, and knew we would have to pay something. The stateside employee told us it would run about $45-50 per observer since it was just to cover the cost of the boat ride (and lunch) over to the other Island. They told us that we could book on the ship for the observer, no problem (IMO). We get on the ship and were shell shocked that it would be $100/per observer for the boat ride over. Needless to say we're a bit upset. During the conversation it came up that when we booked our excursions, there was only a few excursions available on San Juan. One being ATV riding, another being Trapeze, and horseback riding. There was only 5 of us in the group, 2 being my senior citizen parents, and one of us, a 20 week pregnant woman. I begged and pleaded and asked for the Baccardi Tour, but I was told that due to our arrival time (1500 hrs) it was not available. While on board, the excursion desk told us that yes it was available but it was never coordinated between the ship and the shoreside excursion group. There were only 3 seats left, so it was impossible for our entire group to go.
The people on the ship were as rude as rude can be. I'd like to think of myself as a civilized human being, and when you need to stop to tie your shoe, or look at your cruise guide, you find somewhere to move, out of the way, and then look at it... I'm not going to say there weren't people like that, but there were so many that just were so rude.
IMO the ship was completely understaffed, and I don't know firsthand, this is coming from my parents who were speaking to a bartender, but his observation was that the Norwegian Breakaway was in port in NYC for the SuperBowl and most of the regular staff was moved over there and an almost brand new crew was brought on.
Most of the waiters had no idea how to understand english and their only ability to take my order was to actually point to it on the menu.
Desert options were very light. There wasn't anything fancier than chocolate cake. Less

LOS ANGELES (AP) They slew beasts, toppled tyrants and destroyed a ring of ultimate evil, becoming lords of the Academy Awards for their troubles.
In an all-around predictable evening at the Oscars, the ragtag heroes of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King hoisted the fantasy genre to a new artistic high Sunday, earning a record-tying 11 awards, taking best picture and sweeping each of its categories.
Peter Jackson, who shepherded J.R.R. Tolkiens Middle-earth saga to the screen, won the best director Oscar and shared the adapted-screenplay award with his two co-writers.
I think the fact that we had goblins and trolls and wizards and everything else made it hard for people to take it seriously, Jackson said backstage. I appreciate that the academy and voters tonight have seen through all that.
Tolkiens themes forgiveness, courage, faith, friendship are themes that go straight to the heart, Jackson said.
All four acting front-runners won, each claiming their first Oscar. Sean Penn took the best-actor prize as a vengeful father in Mystic River, and Charlize Theron won for best actress as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster.
Supporting-performance Oscars went to Tim Robbins as a man emotionally hamstrung by childhood trauma in Mystic River and Renee Zellweger as a hardy Confederate survivor in Cold Mountain.
Theron joked that since everyone in New Zealand where Lord of the Rings was shot had been thanked, she had to thank everyone in her home country, South Africa.
And my mom, said Theron, who gained 30 pounds for Monster and was unrecognizable behind dark contact lenses and unflattering makeup. You have sacrificed so much for me to be able to live here and make my dreams come true, and there are no words to describe how much I love you. And Im not going to cry.
Penn who has been dismissive of awards in the past but graciously accepted after skipping the Oscars the three previous times he was nominated was taken by surprise when the audience gave him a standing ovation.
I did arguably feel I was there to debunk the notion that it was a popularity contest, Penn said backstage. But they took that away from me in the room.
Sofia Coppolas Oscar victory for original screenplay for Lost in Translation made her family the second clan of three-generation Oscar winners, joining Walter, John and Anjelica Huston. Her father is five-time winner Francis Ford Coppola, who was an executive producer on Lost in Translation, and her grandfather, Carmine Coppola, won for musical score on The Godfather Part II.
I never thought my dad would be watching me get one, Coppola said. So its just a thrill.

Kopi Luwak returns to Elemental with 'Anna Pedan'. Kopi had seen a few releases with Elemental in the last few years and has appeared on numerous Bonzai compilations including the 'Pure Chillz' series.
'Anna Pedan' is a fantastic, uplifting, chilled out stroke of genius. Big, warm and lush pads begin the journey and create a perfect atmosphere for letting all your woes wash away. Sweet melodic arps come through as the track progresses with a downtempo beat making a show. As the sound ebbs and flows you drift as euphoria sets in. Just when you think there is nothing more to be done a beautiful string melody comes into play taking your mind further into a blissful state. The only problem with this track is that there was an ending, you will simply not want this to end, stunning stuff.

Today the heat got to me
At home I get hot coffee to go and have to wait for it to cool before I can drink it.
Here, I get fresh-squeezed juice to go and have to wait for it to cool before drinking It's interesting how something can be the same and completely different at once. It's interesting how many combinations if fruits there are and that they all taste so amazing.
Yes, I definitely wilted today. Early bedtime with the fan on and music playing. Hoping for some cooler weather tomorrow. Or a little more breeze. Or a little less humidity. Or all of them

Over 100 arrest this weekend by excise police
Indiana State Excise Police officers arrested 121 people over the weekend in Bloomington and Muncie on alcohol related charges.
Officers arrested 74 people on 125 charges in Bloomington and 47 people were arrested on 71 charges in Muncie since Friday night.
Excise officers in Bloomington arrested 60 people for illegal possession or consumption of alcohol. Thirty-one people were cited or arrested on charges related to possessing a false ID. Thirteen minors were charged with making a false statement of age to an employee at a licensed establishment. Two people were also charged with being in a tavern or liquor store.
Ten adults were charged with providing alcohol to minors. Two people were also arrested for theft.
On Thursday night, Peter Ferretti, 24, of Charlotte, N.C., was arrested on preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated and OWI/endangering after officers saw his vehicle hit a curb on Atwater Avenue, then go on top of the curb nearly striking a tree, then return to the road, where the driver failed to signal his lane change.
On Saturday night, Austin Dunn, 20, of Greenwood, Ind., was arrested after he fled from an excise officer at Kilroy's Sports Bar, where he tried to get in using a false ID. The officers chased Dunn to the alley behind the Monroe County Jail. After arresting Dunn, officers found a pill bottle with a white powdery substance that a preliminary field test indicated was positive for cocaine. Dunn was preliminarily charged with possession of cocaine, resisting law enforcement, illegal consumption of alcohol, false statement of age and possession of false ID.
Two men were also arrested on Saturday night after officers saw them walking with cans of Four Loco near 13th Street and Fess Avenue.
John Flaherty, 18, of Hinsdale, Ill., was jailed on preliminary charges of illegal consumption of alcohol and resisting law enforcement. Sean Flaherty, 18, of Peoria, Ill., was jailed on a preliminary charge of illegal consumption of alcohol after he tested .244% BAC on a portable breath test. Sean Flaherty twice told the officer he was 17 years of age.
Five people were also issued traffic tickets for various infractions, including for open container violations.
The arrest in Muncie were down from last weekend, when excise officers arrested 71 people on 88 charges as Ball State University students returned to campus for classes last week.
On Friday, 24 minors were arrested on 27 charges, including: illegal possession of alcohol, false statement of age, misuse of driver's license and possession of false ID. Five adults were cited on six charges, including furnishing alcohol to minors and various traffic violations.
On Saturday, 16 minors were arrested on 30 charges, including: illegal possession of alcohol, possession of false ID, false statement of age, open container (in vehicle) and various traffic violations. Two adults were cited or jailed on eight alcohol- and traffic-related charges.
Randy T. Gibson, 27, of Gaston, was preliminarily jailed on seven charges after excise officers saw him traveling on Riverside with no headlights. Gibson was preliminarily charged with operating while intoxicated, operating while intoxicated with prior conviction, operating while intoxicated with BAC greater than .15%, operating while intoxicated/refusal, driving while suspended with prior conviction and public intoxication. Gibson was also arrested for failure to appear on a previous case in Delaware County. He was ticketed for failing to use headlights when required, as well.
"The goal of the State Excise Police this week is to help ensure that students arrive on college campuses across the state safely," Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said. "Sadly, in recent years, at least one student has lost a life because of the excessive consumption of alcohol. We will work diligently to prevent such tragic losses of life."

Tell Barack Obama to Nominate Robert Reich to lead the Fed.
He's focused on the economics that best serve people.
We humbly ask you to nominate Robert Reich as the next chairperson of the Federal Reserve.
Mr. Reich brings a vast wealth of knowledge regarding our economy, first working under Presidents Ford and Carter before assuming the responsibilities of Labor Secretary for President Bill Clinton.
We believe that nominating Robert Reich to lead the Fed would place our nation's bank in the hands of a skilled, insightful economist capable of directing the Fed towards rational, effective choices that benefit the nation's economy. Moreover, he also brings the progressive values and a commitment to advocate for sensible monetary policy that emphasizes people and the greater well being of our society as the central foci of our economy alongside the balance sheets, quarterly earnings, and production capacity of our corporations.
In short, we believe that Robert Reich is an apt candidate to lead the Fed away from the policies that exacerbate the dangerous trend of growing economic inequality that has led to the dissolution of so many other economies and promising societies that came before us. In other words, we believe that he is the candidate most prepared to change course backs towards balance, sensibility, and fairness.
