The Guardian-Ward Relationship is Not Without Issues Thursday!
These aren't even scary aliens. How menacing can you be without opposable thumbs?
Sometimes, we must SING!
Robert Gillis gives us this look at what happens when the crimefighting ends:
While I don't know I have enough hard evidence to call child welfare, it's a safe bet that when you get attacked while you're naked in the shower by the child with whom you used to share a bed, you need parenting skills classes, if not a long stretch in prison. Thanks, Robert!
See you tomorrow!

That sharing the bed panel is famous - it was used as the canonical example of alleged homosexual overtones in Batman, when comics were being investigated during the infamous "Seduction of the Innocent" hearings.

Well, I've got to admit that "sharing the bed" panel is pretty questionable. Lucy and Ricky couldn't sleep in a double bed, but *this* was okay in 1950's America????
- July 16, 2009 at 3:05:00 PM CDT
But they're not sharing a bed, though. I don't see that as one contiguous mass, I see a line in the middle and a strip of yellow wallpaper between two headboards. Oh well, nitpicking. It's creepy nonetheless.

@Zock: I agree, it looks like they're in two separate beds. However, they are pushed awfully close together, and Bruce Wayne lives in a freakin' mansion. Why can't poor Dick have his own room?

Robin's position in that first cover does nothing for his "Robin is gay" rapsheet, either.

The Paradise Police Department are searching for a man after a six and a half mile car chase in Paradise on Friday at about 7:30 p.m.
The man of interest was allegedly driving a stolen, white 1993 Toyota Corolla belonging to a Chico resident, according to a press release. The man is described as a white adult male aged between 20s and 30s, six-feet tall, average build, with long brown hair.
The man was driving a passenger, Deanna Lynn Bau, 39 of Paradise, who was arrested on charges of possession of stolen property, conspiracy to commit a crime and possession of a controlled substance at the scene, according to a press release. She has since been release from custody.
Prior to the alleged fleeing by foot, Officer Dustin Siebert attempted to conduct a traffic stop for several traffic violations, according to a press release.
"The vehicle was pursued for approximately 6.5 miles on surface streets as well as residential streets," according to a press release. "The pursuit ended when the driver entered a fenced enclosure to the PID water tower north of the Pine Grove Mobile Home Park and the vehicle became disabled."
The Toyota suffered moderate damage to the left front quarter panel when it collided with a small tree, concluding the vehicular pursuit, according to a press release. Two Paradise Police Department patrol vehicles were also minorly damaged after hitting the chain link gates enclosing the water tower.
Sgt. Eric Reinbold said that although he was not on duty at the time of the chase to know the traffic conditions, it is policy to take public safety into account during a car chase.
"Had there been a lot of pedestrian traffic or vehicular traffic, the pursuit probably would not have continued," Reinbold said. "As soon as the risk outweighs the gain of capturing who is trying to flee from us then we terminate the pursuit."
The driver is facing charges of possession of stolen property and fleeing from a police officer, Reinbold said. The charges of fleeing can possibly be charged as a felony depending on the circumstances of the chase, he added.
Police ask anyone with information about the crash to contact the police department at 872-6241.

Parchman Lecturer Says 'Voting Is A Spiritual Responsibility'
- Dr. David E. Garland, associate dean and professor of Christian scriptures at Truett Seminary; the Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, senior pastor at The Riverside Church of New York City; and Dr. Paul W. Powell, dean of Truett Seminary.
- Holding up God?s plumb line for Israel written about in the book of Amos, the Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes promoted a contemporary version of the ?prophetic justice principles? that voters could use as a biblical basis for critiquing and for promoting various ideas.
- The Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, senior pastor of The Riverside Church of New York City, delivered the Parchman Endowed Lectures Oct. 5-7 at Baylor on ?Healing the Spirit of America.?
- The Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, senior pastor of The Riverside Church of New York City, delivered the Parchman Endowed Lectures Oct. 5-7 at Baylor on ?Healing the Spirit of America.?
While reading from the book of Amos, the Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes Jr. said he was struck by the image of God measuring the policies and practices of the people of Israel with a simple construction tool - a plumb line, a string from which a weight is suspended to determine true verticals.
As Americans maneuver through another grueling campaign year, the noted preacher and theologian urged an audience at Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary to follow the example of Amos as they prepare to cast their ballots on Nov. 2.
Forbes, the first African-American senior pastor at The Riverside Church of New York City, visited Truett Seminary Oct. 5-7 to deliver the annual Parchman Endowed Lectures on "Healing the Spirit of America."
Forbes has been traveling around the country with "Let Justice Roll," a national alliance of community and faith-based groups whose mission is to ensure that the issues of poverty would be included in the discussion during this campaign year.
The group takes its name from the book of Amos - "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream ..." (Amos 5:24)
"Amos saw God holding a plumb line against which...the people of Israel could be measured as to whether they conformed to the principles of righteousness and justice to which God called us," Forbes said. "We face a time of choices and a recognition that our nation has strayed from some of its founding spiritual, moral and democratic principles. People of faith care deeply about the soul of our country. They feel inspired to roll up as the prophet Amos did a series of principles by which to test their leaders' policies."
Like God's plumb line for Israel, Forbes promoted a contemporary version of the "prophetic justice principles" that could be held up against the "various trends of one politician, one party, one particular region, so that we could have at least a biblical basis for critiquing and also for promoting our various ideas."
Forbes' 10 principles present several questions:
1) Does the policy seek the common good? Does it represent the common good of our society rather than the interests of an elite few?
2) Is the policy truthful in facts and motives? Is the policy based on a true analysis and does it disclose its true intention? How likely is the outcome to achieve its proposed purpose?
3) Does the policy promote unity and inclusion? Does the policy hold the prospect of reducing the polarization and fragmentation of the society due to race, religion, class, gender, sexual orientation or national origin?
4) Does the policy provide good news for the poor? Does it reverse the trend toward an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor?
5) Does the policy protect the vulnerable? Is the policy good for children, the elderly and the disadvantaged? Does it show sensitivity to the spirit of the Golden Rule?
6) Does the policy provide for free press, free discussion and the expression of dissent along with fair and just methods of participating in the democratic process?
7) Does the policy encourage respect for peoples and nations other than our own? Does it respect the fundamental dignity and rights of every human being? Does it use diplomacy as a valued instrument of statescraft in resolving international conflicts and refrain from unilateral military action or empire-building and domination strategies?
8) Is the policy supportive of strong measures to ensure ecological responsibility and sustainability?
9) Does the policy practice good, global citizenship, involving respect for all cultures and nations and collective responsibility for the common good of the global community? Does is it refrain from nationalism, militarism and imperialism based on a sense of national superiority?
10) Does the policy lead by example, doing the right thing and holding the right lessons for our children and our citizens? Does it promote a more ethical society and uphold trust in public offices?
Forbes said that a perceived shift in policy direction by the present administration in Washington, D.C., and in the spiritual direction of the country "didn't get that way overnight nor is it likely to be reversed overnight."
"If these principles apply, there must be a change either in administration or a change within administration," Forbes said.
Also basing his comments on Joshua 24:14-28, Forbes encouraged voters that "if you vote and you do not have a serious consultation with your God, then you have voted falsely. It is a spiritual responsibility to vote as close as you can... inclined towards the will of God."
Forbes said even in the movie "The Passion of the Christ," they had an "election" as the people were faced with a choice between Barabbas or Jesus Christ.
"That movie reveals the nature of American politics," he said. "When people have a choice to make between the vision of God and the convenience of their contemporary alliances that serve as idol gods to them, you can't hear their voices. Who do you want? Did you hear anyone say, 'Save us the Christ?' No, you heard, 'Give us Barabbas!'"
They did not vote, Forbes said. And yet God transcended even their non-vote by raising up Jesus again and giving his people a chance to vote for him.
"If you want to vote right, you must pray for your vote, you must listen to different opinions before you vote, you must read before you vote, you have to think, then you have to consult with Jesus, and then you've got to make up your mind."
If the prophetic justice principles are true to a biblical understanding, Forbes said, then the principles - like a plumb line - will be standing there if the witness of the church is faithful to the prophetic impulse.
"And should there be a change, you cannot presume since most political activity bounces out of the moneyed interest that propels the process, we will still, whether Democratic or Republican, need to hold these principles until perhaps we hear God say, 'Well done.' If not on this side of the river, 'Well,' on the other."
In addition to pastoring Riverside Church, Forbes teaches at Union Theological Seminary, where he is The Harry Emerson Fosdick Adjunct Professor of Preaching. In 1996, according to a worldwide survey, Baylor recognized Forbes as one of the "12 Most Effective Preachers" in the English-speaking world. In addition, Forbes was named one of America's greatest Black preachers by Ebony magazine in 1984 and 1993.
The Parchman Endowed Lectures bring world-renowned theologians to the Baylor campus and enable Truett Seminary to make a significant contribution to the realm of theological dialogue and the life of the church. The lectures were established in 1999 by Leo and Gloriana Parchman to encourage dynamic discussion on topics related to theological studies.
Past lecturers include New Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann, Templeton Prize winner John Polkinghorne, Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey N.T. Wright, theological ethicist Lewis B. Smedes, and preeminent theologian Jnrgen Moltmann.

Birchmont Men's Championship: Lilleboe outlasts Krigbaum for title
An early mistake turned into an uncomfortable situation for Eric Lilleboe.
It was his quick response that made him a Birchmont champion.
After losing the first hole of the championship match to Bemidji native Kevin Krigbaum, Lilleboe rebounded to win the next three and never relinquished the lead in a 5-and-3 win Saturday at Bemidji Town & Country Club.
"This was a big win and I really had a lot of fun," Lilleboe said. "This is a great tournament and it was fun to play in it with some of my friends. I really enjoyed the vacation atmosphere out here."
Lilleboe, who will play in the upcoming U.S. Amateur, was consistent from tee to green in the title match of the 86th Birchmont.
The Okemos, Mich., native birdied the par-3 second hole, birdied the par-4 third and eagled the par-5 fourth in a flawless stretch of golf to take a 2-up lead.
"The key was getting off to that good start," Lilleboe said. "I did have that bogey on the first hole that put me down early, but it was important to get the lead back and I was able to win the next few holes."
The recent Ferris State graduate went 3 up when Krigbaum bogeyed the par-4 sixth after his approach shot missed left of the green.
It was a tough afternoon for Krigbaum, who played exceptional golf throughout the tournament to reach his first championship match.
"I was pleasantly surprised with how I played this week," said Krigbaum, a 1997 Bemidji High School graduate and 2002 Bemidji State graduate. "Every day it seemed like I was playing a little bit better and I was just trying to get to the next step."
Krigbaum advanced to the title match by defeating Matt Skarperud 1 up in one semifinal Saturday morning. Lilleboe advanced by defeating two-time Birchmont junior champion Sam Matthew 2 up.
One of Lilleboe's best shots came on the par-4 eighth hole. He drained a 15-foot chip shot for birdie to go 4 up.
"It was one of the easier chip shots I had," Lilleboe said. "I pulled the pin but I didn't expect it to go in."
Krigbaum won the par-5 ninth with a birdie made easier when one of Lilleboe's few wayward shots of the match sailed over the green.
Lilleboe led 3 up after the front nine.
While Lilleboe was making shots, Krigbaum scrambled to keep the match within reach. He did not hit a fairway off the tee until the fifth hole and needed to go up-and-down for par on the seventh to halve the hole.
"I didn't hit the ball as well as I did earlier in the day, but I don't think it really would have mattered," Krigbaum said. "Eric hit the ball really well today and didn't leave me very many openings out there."
After losing the ninth, Lilleboe responded once again to win the par-5 10th with a two-putt birdie.
The match went out of reach for Krigbaum on the par-3 11th.
On the same hole where he recorded his first hole-in-one Thursday, Krigbaum hit an errant tee shot and made bogey. Lilleboe hit the green and made par to go 5 up.
Lilleboe's last mistake was a three-putt bogey on the treacherous 13th green.
It allowed Krigbaum to cut into the lead for the last time when he made a regulation par to win the hole.
Krigbaum halved the 14th with an up-and-down par and Lilleboe won the match with an eagle on the par-5 15th. It was his second eagle of the day.
Lilleboe and Krigbaum shook hands on the green after the cordial match, which was played in just under three hours.
Lilleboe then walked off the green shaking hands with his father, Tim, who served as his caddy for the day.
Krigbaum's card read even par through 15 holes. Lilleboe was 6 under.

Throughout the regular season and through three rounds of the San Diego Section playoffs, Bonita Vista High School's top-ranked softball team was an offensive powerhouse: scoring runs seemingly at will and defeating, often by lopsided margins, 34 of their first 35 opponents.
Heading into last Saturday's Division II championship game against 10th-seeded West Hills, the Barons had every reason to be confident. All the indicators and statistics were pointing to 2011 being the year when Bonita Vista would finally win its first CIF softball championship.
However, it was not to be.
Facing the red-hot Wolf Pack (19-10) and extraordinary pitcher Noelle Johnson, the Barons failed to mount any semblance of an offense, falling 4-0 to end what had been an incredible season on a very sour note.
"(Noelle Johnson) was the best pitcher we faced all year," said BV's obviously disappointed coach John Carlson. "She had killer off-speed drop and didn't walk anybody."
Johnson, who is headed to Utah State on a full scholarship following her senior year, mesmerized and mystified the Barons (34-2), keeping them off-balance with her well developed six-pitch arsenal. The Barons were limited to just two singles (Kayla Jordan and Ruby Elliot) and never came close to scoring a run.
Baron junior ace Jennifer Hartman, meanwhile, held West Hills off the scoreboard for three innings, but then ran into trouble in the fourth.
The Wolf Pack's Taylor Hallahan opened the inning with an infield single. Then Hartman walked the aforementioned Johnson. With two on, Cortney Home launched a run-scoring double to left center field. Then, with runners on second and third, Katie Byrd put West Hills up 2-0 with a run-scoring single.
The Wolf Pack might have blown the game open in the fourth were it not for a shoestring grab by centerfielder Hannah Flippen to end the inning. But the damage was done.
West Hills added two more in the top of the seventh inning to put any hope of a comeback farther out of reach.
Most of the disappointed Baron players were fighting back tears when they were awarded their runner-up awards.
"Unfortunately, there is only one winner at the end," Carlson said. "We went 34-2 and beat all of the top teams in San Diego this season. West Hills was one tough team for a 10th seed."
Stars in their eyes
The Wolf Pack — Division II runners-up last year — caught fire in the playoffs, knocking off Patrick Henry, Mt. Carmel and Westview before losing a 1-0 squeaker to top-ranked Bonita Vista in the teams' winners bracket final on May 26.
An ensuing victory over Pt. Loma in the second double-elimination semifinal provided West Hills with another opportunity against the South Bay powerhouse. This time the Wolf Pack took full advantage of it.
With Johnson's brilliant pitching and some timely hitting, the Wolf Pack convincingly defeated what had been, according to MaxPreps, the 13th ranked team in the nation.
"I tried to keep them off balance and I used my off-speed and change-up pitches a lot," Johnson said following her textbook pitching exhibition. "I made sure that I hit my spots and didn't leave them with anything they could crush."
Heading into the championship game, Bonita Vista (34-2) was the best hitting team in the county with a combined .401 batting average, with five starters hitting higher than .430.
The low seeding in this year's tournament turned out to be a motivating factor for West Hills in the playoffs.
"We felt hugely disrespected by getting a (No.) 10 seed," Wolf Pack coach Mike Applebaum said. "We talked to the team and told them that this is all about respect. If they are not going to give it to us, we will take it. At the end of the day you have to knock off whoever is in front of you. We knocked off the (No.) 2 seed, the (No.) 7, the (No.) 11 and today the No. 1 seed and we are feeling pretty good about it."
Having played Bonita Vista just two days earlier gave the Wolf Pack players the confidence they needed to prevail.
"The semifinal was a pitcher's duel," Applebaum said. "In that game, Noelle had 10 strikeouts and only gave up one hit. Their one run was unearned off of an error. So going into it today, we practiced knowing that we could play with anybody. I couldn't be more proud of these girls. This victory is all about them."
Throughout the regular season and through three rounds of the San Diego Section playoffs, Bonita Vista High School's top-ranked softball team was an offensive powerhouse: scoring runs seemingly at will and defeating, often by lopsided margins, 34 of their first 35 opponents.

When will the power come back on in Quincy
Tue, 28 Jun 2011 21:39:35 GMT —
The big question many Quincy residents are asking is, "when will I get power back to my house?"
Ameren says it's doing all it can to get service back up and running. C rews from four states have descended on the area to restore electric service to more than 18,000 customers.
An Ameren crew from Effingham, Illinois has had boots on the ground in Quincy since Monday afternoon and has been restoring power ever since. Everything from power poles, supply lines, service lines to homes -- it's all on the list of work orders.
"This is probably one of the most significant outages I've been involved with. We had an ice storm back in 2006 in Decatur and that was significant. But this is probably one of the biggest ones I've been exposed to," according to Craig Gilson, division manager of Ameren.
Gilson has been with Ameren since 1982. He says the company monitors weather forecasts 24 hours a day and is aware of when bad weather approaches the area. He says the company uses a detailed plan when it comes to restoring electricity to homes and businesses. It all begins with assessments, which includes calls from customers who don't have power.
"We have a list of critical care facilities. So what we'll do is, whenever a storm comes through, first thing we do is see what critical care facilities are out. That's where we put our employees on critical care one facilities. Then we'll start looking at the circuits we can get restoration done and for the most people in the shortest amount of time," said Gilson.
The electric crews are assigned a central location, and orders are dispatched from there. Some repairs take a few minutes, while others take hours depending on the damage.
Meanwhile, cleanup continues for Quincy residents.
"I've never seen such a massive area that has been affected by the wind," said Roger Newell. "I can tell by just driving around town that they still have a lot of problems with electricity."
"We've been coming to Hyvee to hang out and eat until the electric comes on," said Connie Blunt. "It's crowded but it's a place to go."
"It's terribly inconvenient of course. But we went out for breakfast yesterday morning and my daughter brought us lunch, and we've just made due at night," said Harry Dyel.
Jon Dawson describes the whole situation as a mess.
"With the power out, there's not a whole lot you can do. So I try to keep busy during the day at home. Laundry's building up, dishes too. We do have water saved back just in case," said Dawson.
"I was a claims adjuster for a long time, and seeing a lot of damage around the county, but this is the worst I've seen around here by far," said Dyel.
Donald Collins and his wife spent the last two days cleaning up around their home, one still without power. But they've found a fix for the meantime.
"We suffered most of the day yesterday without power and I decided to bring the motor home home and plug my refrigerators and deep freeze into a generator and, believe it or not, I can run the air conditioner and still see the news," said Collins.
"We're just hanging in there and blessing the people who are going through it with us," said Dawson.
"What are you going to do if you have another day or two of this? 'I don't know I guess just sweat it out,'" said Dyel.
Some residents have been told it could be as late as Thursday before power comes back.

FREMONT – A man was killed early this morning when his vehicle overturned into water several feet deep near an Interstate 880 off-ramp, the California Highway Patrol said.
Passersby reported seeing a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix four-door that had flipped over about 4 a.m. at the Auto Mall Parkway off ramp from southbound I-880, officer Peter Van Eckhardt said.
That part of the highway has big sweeping curves with open areas in the center, and those are all still flooded because of recent rain, Van Eckhardt said. They found the vehicle submerged in four or five feet of water, he said.
Responding officers found a man inside the vehicle, and he was later declared dead at the scene. It was unclear whether he died of injuries related to the crash or drowning, Van Eckhardt said.
Bay Area roads have been slippery as rains returned overnight, but it was not immediately clear what caused the crash. The off-ramp was shut down for about an hour to allow access for emergency vehicles.

How many of you would be interested in buying some aquatic plants (primarily, lilies I would think) in a co-op? I talked with one supplier I used last year who stated that she would offer a discount on a group purchase. I think we can trade with each other for most of the plants we want, but I wonder about lilies and maybe lotus. I want to try some of the newer varieties and they are hard to find in a trade.
Let me know and if we get enough interest I'll try and find some volume discounts.
the co-op forum gave me an idea.

I went to the site I mentioned above http://www.koiponds.net/index.html
and they have actually added prices for bulk purchases.
Check it out. If you of a cheaper place let me know that to.
Prices aren't too bad! I know I've been to another site that sells in bulk, but will have to do some research to find it. I have about 20 sites stored in "Favorites" (obsessed, you say?)
Will do some checking, and post here if I find anything!

Terry, Put me down for being interested in a group lily (or lotus) purchase! Thanks! Kathy

I asked Sandy at Springtime Nursery how we could work out the shipping ( I want the plants to go direct to the end user and not have to be re-mailed, if you will). I also asked if we could mix and match plants. Below is the response from Sandy. I think she will accommodate us on anything we want to do.
I am going to start a post on the co-op page. Please enter information about what plants you want to order along with the state you live in. I'll post my e-mail address to gather the actual shipping address at a later date.
Sandy's message:
Hello Terry,
We will work something out with you, we need to know how many orders there
will be from your forum and what plants, and where they will be shipped. We
will be happy to try and accomadate
a group purchase and make it as fair as possible to both your and to
ourselves. So get your information gathered and let us know what we can do.
Thanks very much for your business!!! I am sending you a catalog today.

Is there a web site where we can look at an online catalog to see what they have available?
Tree_Climber, Sorry it was in the second message. Here it is again.
We are up to about 80 plants.
I recieved a new catalog from Sandy last night and the Lotus are selling out fast. If anyone wants a lotus, you may not want to wait on the coop buy.
When do you think we will be putting in a Coop order? I am leaning tword taking my chances and waiting, but not sure.
I'm going to call in the order for a final price check next Friday, March 30. I'm hoping we can add a few more plants to the list by then.

Underground manure pipeline closer to reality
WORTHINGTON -- Ocheda Dairy Inc. of rural Worthington cleared another hurdle Wednesday night in its plans to construct a permanent pipeline for liquid manure through portions of four sections of Bigelow Township.
Joe VanderKooi appeared before the Nobles County Planning and Zoning Commission Wednesday night to present plans for the pipeline, which will carry liquid manure from Ocheda Dairy (located in Section 15) to land the VanderKoois own in Sections 12, 13 and 14.
In recent years, the VanderKoois have utilized a drag line manure system made up of soft, flexible hose.
"We've pumped as far as seven miles," Joe VanderKooi said of the hose, which is run through ditches and metal stormwater culverts in the fall. The hose feeds into smaller hoses attached to equipment used by custom manure applicators.
Now, instead of that flexible hose being used on a temporary basis, VanderKooi said the dairy wants to bury a plastic feeder line underground -- a project that, while quite a bit safer than using flexible hose, is a "very significant investment," he told the commission.
Permanent feeder lines for liquid manure are becoming more common in Minnesota, and it isn't just with livestock systems. Some city wastewater treatment facilities also utilize underground piping, VanderKooi said. In doing research, he talked with the operators of a large dairy in northwest Minnesota, as well as with a company in west-central Minnesota that installs the feeder lines.
While there would be less risk of tampering with the permanent lines, VanderKooi said, "I can't sit before you and say there absolutely will not be a problem. Drag lines can be hit ... but, it's one of the safest systems.
"We think it's a much smaller percentage of problems to go underground," he added.
At this time, the farmers plan to install approximately one-half mile of 10-inch underground pipe. The depth remains uncertain, VanderKooi said, explaining that the dairy had considered a six-foot depth, but one contractor installs the pipe at a 4.5-foot depth with the top of the pipe 3.5 feet below ground.
"I've talked to two different contractors," VanderKooi said. "It's going to come down to who's able to do it."
The state does not require engineering work to be completed for manure piping systems, but VanderKooi said he's checked regulations at both the state and federal level. He has also talked to the county engineer and the Bigelow Township board, and received permission from the Okabena-Ocheda Watershed District, in moving forward with the plan.
VanderKooi told commissioners Wednesday night the pipeline will have a tracer locater on it, and it will be entered into GPS. Pressure monitors will be present on each pump, and if there is a loss in pressure, he said the line can be shut down in a matter of seconds to limit manure spills. When the pipeline is not in use, it will have a foam plug in it.
"It will have manure in it for about a week in the fall," VanderKooi said.
Nobles County Environmental Services Director Wayne Smith said because the permit is to install the pipeline in the four sections stated, the VanderKoois can add additional pipeline in those sections without coming in for additional permits.
"I see no problem with it," Planning Commission member Brent Feikema said of the plan. It passed with a unanimous vote, and will now advance to the Nobles County Board of Commissioners for consideration at its June 4 meeting.
Also on Wednesday night's agenda was a request from Andy Weiss, Adrian, for a conditional use permit to construct a 102- by 192-foot total confinement barn with a concrete pit below to house 2,400 wean-to-finish swine in the northeast quarter of Section 3, Westside Township.
Due to opposition from neighbors prior to the meeting, Weiss opted to change the location of the barn from south of an existing building site to the west. With the change in location, the barn will be situated off a minimum maintenance township road.
"I looked at putting it on a county road because of accessibility for hauling manure," Weiss told the commission, adding that with the change in location, he spoke with Westside Township officials about the minimum maintenance road. "They thought they'd be able to take care of the road -- regrade it to keep it open."
The conditional use permit for the new site will require Weiss to build the barn a minimum of 250 feet from the road, but he said he plans to seek a variance to reduce that distance to 100 feet so he could potentially build a second barn on the site in two or three years.
"There is an open water ditch that runs through this farm," Weiss said. "I would like a variance to keep (the barn) closer to the road to stay away from the ditch. Hopefully, moving into that location will not have any negative effects."
Two neighbors to the property spoke in favor of the relocation plans. Dean Elias, who lives southeast of the parcel, said, "I think that's a lot better site than the first plan. I'm totally OK with putting it right there."
Planning and Zoning Commission members unanimously approved the permit with the conditions that there be a dead animal containment structure and manure be incorporated.

Protesters who used chalk to express their distaste for the use of force by local police officers were arrested in July for defacing sidewalks at Metro headquarters, but then their criminal charges were dropped.
Several, however, now intend to sue because they say their First Amendment right to free speech was violated. Sections of their sidewalk commentary called police "pigs" and "murderers," a reference to several controversial shootings by police of unarmed or low-threat criminal suspects.
Until the arrests, members of a group calling itself the Sunset Activist Collective had been chalking remarks of protest every second Saturday of the month at the police headquarters, without incident.

Review: Libertine
It seems if you want to find a good bar/restaurant in a cool building in Auckland these days, you need to search out one which was created by Pack & Company. With recent successes The Commons, Roxy, Everybody's and Imperial Lane, and a plethora of other hotspots under its belt (La Zeppa, Snapdragon, Shaky Isles, Nuffield St, Neighbourhood and Northern Steamship Brew Bars), Pack has many of the places you want to be.
Newest of these is Libertine at the slowly regenerating Victoria Park Market. The heritage building, next door to La Zeppa, has been lovingly restored. Downstairs the bar area features low, leather couches and a large tree growing up to the high ceiling; upstairs the dining room is flooded with natural light, it has big tables and bench seat divided by chainmail curtains, and an open kitchen.
But spring is in the air so we want to be on the large, sun-drenched deck. A waitress tells us to take a seat outside and she'll be with us shortly. So we do, and she isn't. It takes a long time for us to get any attention but just as we're about to lose patience, she returns with menus, apologies and a winning smile.
One look at the menu and I forget our wait. The food is Caribbean and Latin American influenced, so most dishes contain a touch of spice. We choose five which arrive promptly, and after the shaky start the waitress is friendly, attentive and full of personality throughout our visit.
The food is excellent. Compared with similar dishes at other establishments around town, Libertine's shared plates are in a class of their own. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, the pan-fried calamari mixed with kalamata olives, chorizo, coriander and a deliciously sweet smoked tomato chutney is divine.
The blackened jerk chicken bites are fantastically fiery, with a rich paprika dipping sauce on the side; and the spicy meat balls have a chilli kick which leaves a pleasing tingle. The hand-cut fries, a mix of spicy and sweet potato, are long, thick, crisp on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. But the curried goat croquettes are the highlight of the five; the shredded meat is tender and juicy with a delicious light breadcrumb and a sweet mango chutney on the side.
The deck is so sunny I'm reluctant to leave, so I twist Boyfriend's arm to share a dessert, a pumpkin pie with delicious crumbly pastry and a scoop of salted caramel icecream on top. A great end to a top-notch meal.
WHERE: 37 Drake St, Freemans Bay, Auckland, ph 09 929 2790, libertine.co.nz.
WHEN: Monday to Thursday, 4pm-late; Friday to Sunday, noon-late.
WHAT'S TO EAT: A daily rotisserie special, Caribbean influenced main meals and shared plates.
HOW MUCH: $90 for five shared plates, one dessert, two coffees and a soda water.
WHAT DO WE THINK: Excellent addition to the Auckland dining scene.

It's the worst feeling sitting around watching," said Carter, who's been in Utah since Friday. "But you know you're blessed to be able to practice, so that's all you can do.
SALT LAKE CITY — If patience is a virtue the Jazz want in players, Paul Carter might have a great shot at a roster spot.
That was all the NBA hopeful could show the team during its first six practices.
Because they needed clearance from basketball's international governing body, camp invitees Carter and Scottie Reynolds weren't able to start practicing when the Jazz began.
Reynolds, a former Villanova guard, still awaits his green light. But Carter, an Illinois-Chicago forward, finally got to join Jazz practice Tuesday.
"Man, I'm glad I get to practice today," Carter said while warming up.
Both players recently played international hoops — Carter in Cyrus (the Greek Island); Reynolds in the Philippines — so FIBA needed to verify that they do not have contractual obligations prohibiting them from playing in the NBA.
So they waited — and still wait.
"It's the worst feeling sitting around watching," said Carter, who's been in Utah since Friday. "But you know you're blessed to be able to practice, so that's all you can do."
Well, besides text and re-text your agent and ask Jazz management over and over, "Did you hear anything?"
The 6-8, 203-pound forward played at Minnesota before transferring to the University of Illinois-Chicago. Carter, called a "tremendous athlete" by coach Tyrone Corbin, participated in two Jazz pre-draft workouts. Utah is interested in seeing if the usual power forward can play small forward.
"He's a competitor. He can shoot the ball," Corbin said. "He's long and rangy and can play some three for us."
The Jazz now have 16 players — not counting Reynolds — on a roster that must be trimmed to 13-15 by the end of next week. Carter, Northwestern State forward Trey Gilder and point guards Jamaal Tinsley and Keith McLeod have non-guaranteed contracts.
Carter believes he can still make the team despite the late start.
"My hopes are always up," he said. "That's just who I am — just come out and do what you can do and let the chips fall where they may."
Carter said Earl Watson and Al Jefferson were among players who asked every morning if he'd been cleared.
"I told them (Tuesday) I'm practicing," Carter said, smiling. "They're like, 'Finally ... now we get to see what you actually do.' "
NO HURRY: Corbin continues to evaluate rotations, and he hasn't finalized starters or reserves.
"It's not a rush on it," he said. "We'll feel our guys to see which combination we feel is going to give us the best chance to advance faster. We want to make sure the guys understand the importance of winning and not just (worry about) who's getting the start and who's coming off the bench."
NICE SURPRISES: Asked who's shown something positive he wasn't expecting, Corbin mentioned three players. (Media members aren't allowed to watch Jazz practices.)
— On rookie shooting guard Alec Burks: "He's rangier than I thought he was. His ability to get from one spot to another in such a quick time is a little bit more than I thought at this point in his career."
— On power forward Derrick Favors: "His quickness and (going) faster longer, and he can get to one spot on the defensive end to another spot to make a play. He's stronger in defending his own man in the post."
— On center Al Jefferson: "The way he's come back, his physical shape, first of all. His ability to move and help on defense and run the floor and try to help guys out has been great."
JAZZ & JOSH: Free agent Josh Howard met Tuesday with the Jazz about a potential contract, ESPN reported. His camp said the Jazz and San Antonio have offered the small forward a "firm offer." On Saturday, Utah general manager Kevin O'Connor said they'd had "serious discussions" but no formal offer had been made.

Struggling Negredo remains positive ahead of WC
Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo is not letting his poor recent form in front of goal get him down, even though an extended barren spell could potentially damage his hopes of going to the World Cup next summer.
Negredo has notched just three goals for Sevilla since joining the club from Real Madrid for a fee reported to be in the region of 15 million euros, and the most recent of those efforts came over a month ago.
That form is in stark contrast to last season, when the 24-year-old stuck 19 times in the Primera Division for an Almeria side who only scored 45 goals in total, but the striker insists he is staying positive.
"Obviously I'm not comfortable when I don't score, because that's my job, but I'm not nervous or affected by it," he said. "These are spells that you go through.
"I feel happy and confident. My mission is to score goals, but the principal objective is that the team wins. I signed for Sevilla to continue setting my goals high. I knew that I was coming to a club with extraordinary expectations and great strikers."
Negredo last month earned his first call-up to the Spain squad for the European Champions' final two World Cup qualifiers against Armenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina after David Villa and Fernando Llorente were ruled out through injuries.
After making a quiet debut as a second-half replacement against Armenia, Negredo started the Bosnia-Herzegovina match and netted twice and set up another two in a 5-2 win that ensured Spain would finish their qualifying campaign with 10 wins out of 10.
Negredo admitted after that match that he needed to continue doing well for Sevilla to force his way into Vicente del Bosque's squad for next year's World Cup, but the Madrid-born forward is currently only thinking about the present.
"I'm not thinking about Madrid or of the World Cup," he said. "The best recipe for success is to treat the situation with normality."

Mermaids: The New Life Aquatic
Seeing dozens of women in scallop-shell bikini tops struggling to force their legs into latex tails inside Las Vegas cabanas does not ruin the magic of mermaids. At least not for the small group of men who've come to the Silverton Casino, just off the Strip, for Mer-Con, the Comic-Con of mythical aquatic creatures. Like many of the men at the Aug. 12 convention—other than the old guy playing Poseidon and a smattering of effeminate mermen—Thom Shouse is dressed like a pirate. Or at least kind of like a pirate. "I'm not a pirate," clarifies Shouse, wearing a poufy white shirt and a red bandana. "I don't have any skulls and crossbones on me." Shouse, it turns out, is a businessman of a different sort. "I'm the minder of mermaids. I have mermaids that get treasure for me. Pirates are my friends because I get mermaids to be with them and tell them stories and just be pretty."
When he is not pimping out mermaids, Shouse is a special effects artist specializing in amphibious women. After creating the tail for the 1984 mermaid epic, Splash, Shouse went on to become the world's top designer of bespoke urethane tails. And business has never been better: Shouse, who claims he believes mermaids are real, says there's currently a six-month wait for one of his multi-thousand-dollar creations. That's because mermaids are about to swamp vampires and zombies as supernatural rainmakers in popular culture.
Building off the buzz from this year's installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise—which featured a plethora of bad-ass, sailor-drowning mermaids played by models—mermaid-fueled projects are piling up. Twilight author Stefanie Meyer says her next book is all mermaid. Joe Wright, who directed Atonement, is planning a live-action, dark version of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid; Tobey Maguire is producing a rival, also dark, also live-action Little Mermaid. In June, Disneyland launched a new Little Mermaid ride and will add one to Disney World in 2012. Photographer Mark Anderson is releasing a book—available as an iPhone app—called M: Mermaids of Hollywood, that features Anna Faris, the Kardashians, Kristen Bell, and others in tails. Carolyn Turgeon, author of Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale, has agreed to run a new magazine, Mermaids & Mythology. The Australian kids' show H20: Just Add Water is like Hannah Montana with fins. "Mermaids are great," says Shouse, who created a tail for a recent Panda Express ad. "They can sell hair-care products, skin-care products, seafood!"
Shouse may seem to have a jump on the competition, but he's hardly alone; the true beneficiaries of the mermaid bull market are small business owners who cornered the mermaid market before there actually was one. Eric Ducharme, who lives near Tampa, makes about seven latex tails a month for $500 to $700 and since December has created 25 silicone ones for $1,600 to $5,000, including one for Lady Gaga. The Weeki Wachee Springs Underwater Theater, also near Tampa, started its mermaid shows in 1947. In danger of closing just a few years ago, it's now hosting sold-out camps for adults who want to swim with tails.
With a little luck these adults can even turn pro. When Erin St. Blaine lost her dot-com job in 2001, she and her fellow tech-bust-victim husband, Darrell, formed Fire Pixie Entertainment in Fremont, Calif. In addition to fire eaters and belly dancers, they've hired four pro mermaids to perform at parties. Darrell, who stands by the pool dressed like a pirate as Erin swims in her tail, is not surprised his wife got in on the fad. "She'll want to be an astronaut next year," he says. "Or drive a fire truck."
Other mermaids, however, can't imagine doing anything else. Hannah Mermaid (née Fraser), the Angelina Jolie of the tail business, is a delicate, blonde Australian model who radiates a hippie calm. Fraser went pro eight years ago and performs at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas one week each month. When she's not there, she's appearing in TV ads for Skyy Vodka, doing events for Omega, or welcoming two new manatees to the Sydney Aquarium.
At Mer-Con, Hannah Mermaid holds court outside by the pool at the Silverton, posing for adoring fans, members of the media, and a few borderline creepy dudes. Organizers chose the Silverton partly because it's got a 117,000-gallon aquarium in the Mermaid Restaurant & Lounge, where former synchronized swimmers put on mermaid shows daily. The tank is situated just a few feet from a mermaid art gallery where you can buy a portrait of former Playboy model Holly Madison as a mermaid. "It hasn't become mainstream," says the Silverton's aquarium manager, Thomas Harder, of his mermaid shows, "but we're not on the fringe anymore."
Naturally, not every mermaid is a joiner. MeduSirena, a tall, wild-haired redhead who runs the weekly fire-eating mermaid show at the Wreck Bar at the Sheraton in Fort Lauderdale considers herself above the general mermaid riffraff. "I call it aquatic performance. I don't call it a mermaid. I don't go around saying, 'I'm a mermaid,'" she says, doing a pejorative impression of the type of person who would say, "I'm a mermaid." As it nears midnight at Mer-Con, the forces buoying the mermaid craze become clearer. Stars such as Hannah Mermaid and MeduSirena hang in the shallow end of a pool with the old guy dressed like Neptune, and the place starts to resemble an episode of HBO's Real Sex. "There's definitely something weird with mermaids and sex, just like with vampires," says Turgeon, the novelist tapped to run Mermaids magazine. "They're incredibly seductive, and they could kill you. You have all the angsty stuff that you have with vampires. Except you have all this female power."
Garrett Grioua, who does security at a club in Fort Lauderdale, felt the same way when his belly-dancing fiancée decided to train to become a professional mermaid at the Wreck Bar. "It's an exotic thing, seeing beautiful women dance underwater," he says. "I'm not going to lie. It's hot."

Pittsburgh Penguins forward James Neal was suspended five games Monday following a telephone hearing with the NHL's department of player safety.
Neal was given the ban for kneeing Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand in the head during Saturday's game in Boston. Marchand was prone on the ice when Neal skated past, connecting with a knee to the head in the process.
Neal was given a minor penalty for kneeing during the game but NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan said the contact appeared something other than accidental and gave him the maximum after a phone hearing.
"With a clear view of Marchand and plenty of time to avoid him, Neal skates directly through Marchand's head with his left knee," Shanahan said in a video explaining the suspension. "It is our belief after viewing this incident that this is more serious than simply not avoiding contact with a fallen player.
"While looking down directly at Marchand, Neal turns his skates and extends his left leg, ensuring that contact is made with Marchand's head."
Neal, not considered a repeat offender by the NHL, was last suspended during the 2012 playoffs, when he was given a one-game ban.
This suspension will cost him just over $128,000.
Pavel Datsyuk will return to the Detroit Red Wings lineup Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
Datsyuk missed seven games after suffering a head injury against Ottawa Nov. 23 but the Red Wings went 5-2-0 during that time. Still, the Wings are happy to have Datsyuk back in action.
"We're glad to have him back, he's a good player," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock told the Detroit Free Press. "Any time you miss good players, it's harder."
The return of Datsyuk against Florida will help ease the sting of losing Henrik Zetterberg for the game. Zetterberg, who is having back pain, won't make the trip to Florida.
The Pittsburgh Penguins put defenceman Brooks Orpik on injured reserve Monday, two days after he was attacked on the ice by Boston Bruins forward Shawn Thornton.
Orpik has a concussion, according to the Pens, but they gave no indication of how long they expect him to be out of action. Defenceman Brian Dumoulin was called up from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL to take his spot on the roster.
Orpik was hurt Saturday against the Bruins after he was jumped by Thornton. He was taken on a stretcher to Massachusetts General Hospital but travelled back to Pittsburgh with the team.
In 31 games this season, Orpik has one goal and six assists.
The New York Islanders are cutting ties with forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard, according to Newsday.
The Isles have reportedly put Bouchard on waivers in the hopes of clearing a spot for former first-round draft pick Ryan Strome, who has been tearing it up with Bridgeport of the AHL.Strome, picked fifth overall in 2011, has nine goals and 24 assists in 23 games to lead the AHL in scoring and was named the league's player of the week on Monday.
The oft-injured Bouchard signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Islanders as a free agent last summer. He has four goals and five assists in 28 games but is minus-nine and has seen his ice-time slide.
Forward Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes, forward Taylor Hall of the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo were named the NHL's three stars of the week Monday. Skinner, the first star, had five goals and one assist to help the Hurricanes win three times last week ... Philadelphia Flyers forward Vincent Lecavalier, who is expected to be out 3-4 weeks, was put on IR with a non-displaced fracture on his lower back. The Flyers called up Tye McGinn from Adirondack of the AHL to take his place in the lineup ... The Chicago Blackhawks put forward Bryan Bickell on IR with a lower-body injury, retroactive to Nov. 19, and called up goalie Kent Simpson from Rockford of the AHL. Bickell, last year's playoff hero, has five goals and one assist in 22 games this season ... Boston Bruins defenceman Dougie Hamilton will miss a week of action due to a lower-body injury, according to coach Claude Julien. Hamilton was hurt Sunday against the Toronto Maple Leafs ... The NHL announced Monday that the public allotment of tickets for the Stadium Series game between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils at Yankee Stadium have sold out. Tickets for the game can still be bought through the Devils, though.

Ski-lift link sought between two Utah resorts
By PAUL FOY
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce is organizing a coalition to push for a ski lift that would connect two Utah resorts if Congress goes along with a sale of national forest land.
The chamber is enlisting notable Utah figures who say it's the start of something big — the first lift connection among the cluster of Wasatch resorts. Together they could make for one of North America's largest skiing complexes.
Jake Garn — former U.S. senator, Navy pilot and astronaut — says a gondola connecting the Canyons and Solitude resorts would allow people to ski both sides of the Wasatch mountains without driving around.
The LIFT UTAH coalition was announced as 40 backcountry skiers and environmentalists stood outside the Salt Lake chamber Tuesday to protest the development of high alpine terrain where the snow piles deep.

This project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and coordinated by Robert Bosch GmbH. The aim is to develop the first ever universal design methodology for MEMS to plug the gaps between electronics and mechanics design, manufacturing, and subsequent integration into products.
Potential 50 percent increase in the market for MEMS
The new development methods for MEMS are expected to substantially increase the opportunities for widespread use of MEMS in the professional and security-relevant segments. The new methods will also allow small and medium-sized enterprises to design MEMS and integrate them into their products much more often, as well as in a wider range of configurations than at present. What is more, the potential market for MEMS stands to increase by up to 50 percent as a result.
Projecting images directly onto the retina
These new development methods for MEMS will pave the way for entirely new solutions in the leading-edge applications of optics and robotics. This opens up the prospect of the wide-ranging use of micromirror arrays, similar to the devices already being used in projectors. This technology allows images to be projected directly onto the retina using special glasses. In robotics, force sensors and profilometers can be developed that analyze surfaces even more accurately than before, or that simulate an extremely precise sense of touch. The project findings are being verified as part of the project on the basis of real MEMS prototypes which, in turn, serve as demonstrators.
"The project opens up innovations in mechanical engineering and process plant engineering by using powerful sensor and actuator systems based on groundbreaking MEMS and chip technologies," says Dr. Mirco Meiners, the project coordinator for MEMS2015 who works in the Bosch Automotive Electronics division. "The clear focus of funding from Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) helps companies maintain their lead in innovation for key technology topics and develop new innovative, complex products."

Good cries are great aren't they? Hope your day gets and stays better.
Well yesterday was an eventful day! Boyfriend had jury duty and went to the courthouse, but was dismissed due to hardship. Apparently, he had submitted info. to the court, but had forgotten to sign the card he had sent back. Then I went with him to Simi Valley for the ride, as he wanted to sign up for a welding certification night class. That went well and he paid his tution and got signed up. Luckily there was room for him in this class, unlike the the one he tried to sign up for at the J.C. in Ventura. Then we came home to wait for an important phone interview from a state agency in Sacramento which never materialized. Apparently, they wrote down the wrong address and we never got paperwork we were supposed to get to fill out and send back to them before the interview. I get so frustrated with people who can't do their jobs. This is the second time, we missed the interview because of incompetency on the part of State of California employees. Anyway, this fiasco has set back the investigation of this matter for 2 months--a long time in the scheme of things. Anyway, I had had it and blew. Really good for my blood pressure which is sky high anyway!
I called by State Assemblyman's office, and explained my situation. It was amazing how fast the paperwork I needed came to me on my E-Mail after that. I would recommend calling or contacting your congressmen, if you have a problem with a state or federal agency. It can't hurt! After that I was so upset, I just laid down and had a good cry. I felt better after I cried. The rest of the evening I tried to rest and watch Monday Night Football. Now it's a new day and hopefully a more peaceful one than yesterday.
Good cries are great aren't they? Hope your day gets and stays better.
I just want to dance in the rain and stand in the sun...
And taking action with some form of success always seems to make us feel productive! So, you've done the right thing on both fronts; had a good cry and took appropriate action.
Yes, this is a new day. Be glad in it, be grateful for it, and make it what you need it to be. Feel better :lol:
Peace and Blessings
Look For The Good and Praise It!

Subscribers to Media Environment Design's MIT training program for D-Tools are now eligible to receive renewal units (RU's) toward their Infocomm certification.
May 8, 2007, San Diego, CA – Media Environment Design, Inc, founding D-Tools certified partner and creator of the successful "MIT" Unlimited D-Tools training program, has announced its acceptance by Infocomm as an approved certification renewal units training provider. The D-Tools training courses provided through MIT (Media Interactive Training) will now give attendees credit toward their Infocomm certifications.
Each course has been awarded a RU value based upon its content, duration and learning objectives. These values were awarded after the courses were reviewed by Infocomm's certification approval staff. The individual course values are available on MED's website, www.medesign.tv . Media Environment Design will provide each MIT attendee with a course completion certificate upon completion of one of its MIT courses. The attendee will then need to submit the MIT courses along with their Infocomm certification renewal form.
"We have consistently been working with more commercial contractors and have received a multitude of requests from our customer base to seek Infocomm certification for our MIT courses. The certification program offered by Infocomm is very strong and we are thrilled to have our courses approved for certification renewal units (RU's)", Explains Ryan Brown, Vice President of MED.
MIT consists of fourteen, 90-minute training sessions, using the latest desktop sharing technology from the convenience of the attendees own office. All courses are taught using an interactive online (internet) web training utility. Each attendee signs in from his or her office workstation to the web session prior to class; calls a specific telephone number for teleconferencing; and then views the live training presentation and talks to the instructor via the telephone. A question and answer period follows each training session. MIT subscription also includes access to on demand video trainings, in addition to the live courses. The schedule for all courses is published at the Media Environment Design website
Companies subscribing to the training program retain unlimited access to the instructor taught training sessions for an entire year (one class is taught each day, every business day of the year).
