It's quiet! The Remington® .22 delivers reduced vibration and felt recoil with velocities of up to 1000 fps. Excellent for hunting and target shooting in all weather conditions, it won't let you down.
Welcome to the new world of break barrel American Muscle � introducing the NEW NPSS, Nitro Piston Short Stroke, break barrel air rifle from Remington. At the heart of this new technological break-through is a nitrogen filled gas piston, instead of a coiled steel spring. The Nitro Piston Short Stroke will not be adversely affected by temperature and allows for much easier cocking force. This gun can be cocked for long periods of time without degrading or losing velocity, like steel springs. This Nitro Piston technology dramatically reduces felt recoil by eliminating the double hit and spring torque associated with steel spring guns. While reducing recoil, the NPSS is also the quietest break barrel ever to come out of the Crosman factory, producing a 70% reduction in shot noise over leading models. Features shot velocities of up to 1200 with lead-free pellets. The Nitro Piston� technology provides dramatically reduced noise and recoil which make it an excellent pick for varmint control and small game hunting. Independent research by Intertek found that Nitro Piston technology reduces noise by 70% during the shot cycle compared with traditional steel spring break-barrels!
Additionally, the NPSS is feature rich, providing a bull barrel, which minimizes the effects of barrel vibration while delivering better rigidity throughout the entire length, both of which promote greater accuracy. The stock on this new NPSS has a custom film dip process applied, plus a final soft touch coating which delivers vibration dampening characteristics to the entire stock. Also included is an enhanced trigger package of all metal construction and two-stage adjustable. Lastly, this gun comes ready to go with a 3-9 X 40 CenterPoint scope that features an adjustable objective and a mil-dot reticle for precision shooting.
Quiet, smooth and powerful � that is American Muscle.

LOOKS and FEELS like a rimfire, not an air rifle
November 12, 2011
From the moment I opened the box I knew the Remington NPSS was the best choice for me. After reading about all the different choices out there I wanted to add another quality Remington to my collection. The NPSS came complete with everything to start shooting, I had no problems at all with scope mounting, or break in. Zeroing was super simple due to the consistant Nitro piston power. Break in took 2 days and on the 3rd day I got my first kill at night. At about 35 yrds a rabbit through the heart. I also have a Crosman 140/ 22.cal pump which dosen't even compare to the the NPSS power. Remington makes a solid feeling, smooth shooting, quality air rifle at a fair price. The best part is on the receiver, it says made in the USA.
Pros:The scope is awsome crisp and clear, the adjustable check rest makes the rifle fit perfectly, adjustable trigger is ok.
Cons:Whats not to like?

Good Hunter
May 25, 2014
Took a few minuets to set up, needed cleaning. Took it out used hyper max pellets and went to town. Scope dialed in quickly . Soon shooting tight groups at 25 yards. Put several hundred rounds through it and scope needed only minor adjustment. The squirrel and mole population has gone down noticeably since I got the rifle. Has almost as much stopping power as my 22 cal. with a lot less noise. The neighbors never hear a thing. I'm very pleased.
Pros:Good power and feel.

Outstanding airgun
October 26, 2013
So far this has been nothing but outstanding. This one doesn't even have the dreaded "barrel droop:. I bought a top rated one piece mount and a 4 to 12 BSA air gun scope. That was all it took to make this a great rifle. Using Diabolo jumbo pellets, this is deadly up to 60 yds. The red squirrels do not like it and I don't blame them. I ordered the cameo one because it was $10 cheaper than the black. It was out of stock so the airgun people sold me the black one for the same price--gotta love that. The only nitpicking item I can come up with is the barrel sleeve will come loose sometimes during the cocking process. It is easy to just give it a twist and let it go at that. Accuracy is great with the right ammo, and it hits like a brick.---Love it---
Pros:Long barrel makes cocking effort less than average, barrel lock is solid, stock fits me just right ( 5' 5" 165lbs)
Cons:Barrel sleeve comes loose, not a big deal--make sure the pellet is flush with the barrel or it will deform the pellet. I use a pellet pen, but if you don't have one use a wooden dowel to push the pellet home. Using your fingernail will also deform the pellet.

old crosman gun builder
January 7, 2013
I use to build for crosman. I bought this gun at an employee price. I have shot many different pellet guns. This one is by far the best ever, and I've shot a lot. For the person who can't shoot a starling, you should go back to nerf guns I've shot channel cats (catfish) woodchucks, beavers, and even a wild pig all within 35 yards. It is quiet and accurate as any gun out there. If you can't hit a bird without killing it you're better off not shooting anything. For the person that recommends a .177 cal, Thats good for grandmas garden but not for small game hunting ...... Thanks
Pros:Scope, weight, adjustable trigger, chin rest, stock, easy break, and accuracy in grouping.
Cons:People that can't shoot.

Consistent and Reliable
September 4, 2012
I bought this in the other stock color, which I assume is now phased out. I have had it for a couple of years now, and the squirrel population has been affected more than with my other guns. The only thing I can say in answer to the folks that criticize this gun is they must really be spoiled. I went from shooting the average 40-50 buck gun to this rig and the results speak for themselves. For years I was hung up on having a repeater or anything other than a single shot. My mistake, because I am much more productive with this single shot than I have ever been with my other guns. Things I don't like: Weight is too much for an old guy. It seems both difficult and awkward to cock, IMO. Last but not least..... Loudness...This one is all over the place. From shot to shot it varies- I believe if you shoot it two or three times in a row, it quiets down, but with my habit of going about a day between shots, sometimes this thing is loud. All in all, this is a surprisingly powerful and accurate gun: if you have been shooting the discount store variety you are in for a surprise.
Pros:power accuracy consistency
Cons:weight trigger difficult to cock

Great Gun
May 9, 2012
Had it about a year now and still shooting great. One tip is buy a bunch of different ammo to see which works better for your situation. I bought about 10 different kinds and found that some work better than others but the best I think is the Gamo PBA . The scope is pretty good for the price. Have killed many rabbits at 30 yards with one shot. Make sure to clean the gun every 250 or so shots for best performance because the barrel and silencer gets gummed up and lube the moving parts with approved lubricant. Only bad thing i think about this gun is the trigger is kind of cheap. Thinking of upgrading to a Charlie The Tuna.
Pros:Price Power Accuracy Color

Seems some are great and some aren't
April 23, 2012
My first impression was that this was a great air rifle. The scope has great adjustments and is nice and crisp. The rifle was louder and not as accurate as others have stated, but I have a lot of experience with breaking barrels in and suppressors and thought it would go away after a few shooting sessions and cleanings. It didn't. It actually got as loud as my spring air rifle (Gamo) and scares everything away. Either the scope is junk or the barrel is because it will not hold a decent group from shot to shot, I am leaning towards it being a non-brand name scope. Adjusting the scope 4 MOA sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I'll have to put one of my NightForce scopes on and make sure it's not the barrel. The power is great. I'm not blowing holes thru 3/8" plywood or 16ga sheetmetal like others are claiming (not even from point blank with various ammo types). Using RWS H Points puts down small birds fairly quick but there definitely aren't exit holes or exploding heads or anything of the sort (maybe a few feathers fall off). Overall, lots of hype from inexperienced shooters but it doesn't quite deliver for the true marksman/gun fanatic.
Pros:Power. 2 stage trigger.
Cons:Innacurate. Louder than advertised.

Remington NPSS .22 Digital Camo
February 20, 2012
The gun was great straight out of the box. Easy scope install and easy sighting in. We were shooting almost into the same hole but off to the right at first till I got it moved over to the center. Then it grouped three shots touching each other at 20yds. I thought that was pretty good for a pellet gun. The gun also has a nice scope and it's a great looking gun. I recomend it highly to anyone looking for an awesome pellet gun.
Pros:I like the look and feel of the gun, it has a good trigger and a nice scope.

As Advertised, Right Out of the Box
January 30, 2012
Set up was easy. My first shot at 20 yards was 12" right and 2" low. Within 20 shots I had a 3/8" three shot group. The gun is clean looking and the scope is excellent. After about 200 shots I started getting a slight grinding when cocking. I called Crossman customer service and they told me to use a silicon based oil and to put a few drops into the compression chamber. I did so and it cleared up right away. I am very satisfied with this gun and highly recommend it.
Pros:Ease of use. Quality scope
Cons:Could use sling swivels. They help when shooting offhand.

remington npss .22 cal.
December 24, 2011
recieved the rifle in perfect condition. i was disappointed the rifle was "made in the U.S.A. with some foreign components". everything on the gun looked fine.i bought some crosman pointed pellets {175 per box} and a 500 box of benjamin RNHP.both pellets shoot very well with all shots touching at 10 mtrs. from a rest.i have fired 2 {3 shot} groups at 35 yards .the worst one being 1 in..i chronographed a few shots with both pellets, both were around 750 fps. both were 14.3gr.
Pros:the ergonomics are good,the gun is very accurate and the muzzle report is quiet ,the scope is very good.
Cons:i will be replacing the trigger because when the trigger is adjusted to a somewhat crisp 4&1/2 lb.second stage, the trigger will not return forward if you don't complete the shot. the barrel pivot screw loosend and it had to be locktighted and the setscrew that locks it heated and reset.

February 20, 2011
whoever said this gun doesnt have enough power is insane. clearly u didnt hit the starling anywhere that would do damage because i got my self a turkey a few days ago. this gun is incredibly accurate with the rws superdome pellets. i can flip bottle caps upside down and shoot them off without even shaking the bottle at 20 yards. and its quieter than my RWS 34 but packs more of a punch

By Eric from Akron, OH on January 12, 2012
Answer:The Remington Nitro Piston .22 is powerful, the largest animal I have shot is an adult Possum from about 30 feet. First head shoot immobilized it for a quick close up second shot to make sure it was dispatched. The animal damaged the lattice to get under my deck. The gun is very accurate, after I put about 30 pellets through it from a sitting position I was able to cover a 5 shot group with a dime from about 30 ft.

Answer:Some rifles need breaking in put a high number of pellets through the gun 100-200 and that should help, also be sure to clean the barrel after all these shots and your rifle should really hone down.

Answer:I have only shot at a target at about 10 yds away to sight in the scope. The target was on a piece of 3/4 inch plywood and the pellets were breaking through the wood so I would assume the rifle would have no problem with racoons or possums.
By Mike from Texas on February 21, 2012
Answer:I believe the rifle is excellent for small game like pigeons, grackles, and squirrels. I have personally taken grackles and pigeons with the .22 version of the gun and found it to be accurate and deadly with respect to these species. The kills were instant and humane.

Answer:I took a crow with a single head shot from about 25 yards away with my Remington Nitrogen Piston in 22 Cal. Not only powerful, but accurate too!!
By John from Lynn Haven, Florida on February 22, 2012
Answer:The gun is excellent in all areas. Lots of power, extremely accurate. The 3 to 9 power Center Point scope is very high quality. The gun would be more than adequate for everything up to Racoons as long as you stay with the .22 version. I've fired over 700 shots with mine and am getting 1 inch groups at 20 yards. Very important to use the artillery hold when shooting to get consistant accuracy. Gripping the forearm rather than letting it sit in an open hand will cause you to shoot low. All in all a high quality for a fair price airgun.

Answer:Larry, the NPSS in 22 sounds about as loud as a red ryder bb gun firing. Its more the spring mechanism than a report sound.

March 16, 2014 at 2:10 am #238158
Hi we first tried doing an animated slider in the build in Layerslider WP in the enfold theme and while it looks great on desktop, we're having trouble on mobile. The text shrinks down, but overlaps each other and the image and icon shortcode we put in doesn't scale down.
So next we tried revolution slider, and had problems getting it to even be full screen. We saw someone with a similar problem in the forum and saw a response with putting it in a color section and putting in some CSS into the quick css and then it still didn't work without a lot of tweaking. We were eventually able to get it to work using a custom layout and manually entering in the widths to scale down to. It seemed to work on android, but on iOS when you tilt the phone to landscape mode it crashes multiple browsers.
The more basic sliders built into the theme seem to work perfectly, but they lack the functionality we need for animation.
Any thoughts?March 18, 2014 at 8:18 am #239195
Hey addwebtoday!
I'm not sure but did you try to contact the Revolution Slider plugin author? If it crashes on iOS it might be a slider script bug. Another solution would be to hide the slider on IOs devices. You can use the avia-iphone and avia-ipad class to hide the slider on IOs devices.
PeterMarch 23, 2014 at 6:56 pm #241841
At a theme client, I'm disappointed in regards to the full width functionality on this theme and the lack of any core recommendations as the slider is seemingly more functional on other themes I've used.
The theme comes with a slider and I was actually recommended by a moderator of Enfold to use Revolution Slider. I understand it is not your plugin, but I invested in this theme and it seems that a core function is not really supported. Is there any recommendations you can provider with either slider as far as best practices to make it look good on all mobile devices? I'm stuck on asking you guys this because I got the Enfold theme and it contained the integration of the 3rd party plugin, and not the other way around.
I just want a pretty slider so I can show off Enfold to all my dev friends. Much thanks!
Please let me know if you have any questions
Thank you,
-AddWebTodayMarch 25, 2014 at 1:21 am #242429
The LayerSlider integration is set up so that it can be added in and always be a fullwidth element. It isn't ideal for dropping into other elements but it allows for the current iteration of popular layouts and fits the majority of users needs.
The responsiveness of it is a bit tough to get down. The individual elements need to be set up in a way that allows for the layout to shift considerably on lots of devices and still look good. The design, like all designs at this point in web dev, needs to have more flexibility than in previous years. This is the best advice I think we can give in that regard within the theme and outside of it.
Within a LayerSlider slide if you are using other shortcodes you would then also need to wrap those shortcodes in a grid since the theme doesn't add in its grid system inside a layer. Without it there is nothing for the shortcodes inside to be force to adapt with.
We recommend lots of plugins for lots of different uses. It doesn't mean our support extends to them. That is the job of the individual plugin developer.
DevinMay 11, 2014 at 2:13 pm #262906
I'm going to build a few layer sliders and return to this thread with examples of what I need help with. Layer slider caused a lot of issues which is why I guess I was referred to Rev slider, which works perfectly on other themes, but lags on Enfold big time, most likely due to native Enfold code vs Rev slider plugin code.
I have also used layer slider full screen without issue before, so the grid itself may be the issue since you said it doesn't incorporate some forms of media.May 15, 2014 at 4:27 pm #265340
This would be the first report we've gotten of Revolution Slider having issues or conflicts with the theme. With LayerSlider, the css grid I'm referring to does not touch or interact with the internal contents of the slides. The only thing that it interacts with is the placement of the individual slideshow in the pages layout.December 8, 2014 at 11:50 pm #365045
I believe this has to be a revolution slider related issue then. Thank you for looking into this! Feel free to close this ticket.

[1]U.S. markets slid on Thursday after House Speaker John Boehner declared that the fiscal cliff crisis has not been resolved because, in his view, the White House is not serious about cutting spending.
The remarks offset other positive macroeconomic news — including a rebound in retail sales and a sharp decline in jobless claims — to knock the markets lower.
The Nasdaq came out the big loser, down 0.72% to 2,992.16, while the S&P 500 snapped a six-day streak of gains, finishing in the red 0.63% to 1,419.45. The Dow lost 0.61% to end at 80.98.
It wasn't all bad news, though.
After delaying its IPO[2] and being forced to slash the offering price, SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY[3]) burst onto the market with nearly 50% gains.
Big-box laggard Best Buy (NYSE:BBY[4]) was another big mover Thursday, as shares headed 16% higher on news that founder Richard Schulze is expected to make a bid[5] by the end of the week.
CVS Caremark (NYSE:CVS[6]) headed skyward when the company announced a better-than-expected profit forecast for 2013 and announced a 38% increase in its quarterly dividend. CVS stock finished 2% higher. Shares of Boston Beer Co. (NYSE:SAM[7]) soared by more than 15% after the company raised its full-year forecast, sending the stock to a new 52-week high[8].
Clearwire (NASDAQ:CLWR[9]) cruised as Sprint (NYSE:S[10]) announced a $2.1 billion offer to buy the rest of the company[11]; shares have cruised nearly 30% in the past three days as buyout news bubbled to the surface.
Several pharma stocks struggled on the day. Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:RIGL[12]) plummeted 35% after the rheumatoid arthritis drug it is licensing to AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN[13]) didn't meet an objective in its study. Acura Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ACUR[14]) also lost 11%, while Supernus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SUPN[15]) fell 8%.
Finally, shares of printing equipment maker Lexmark (NYSE:LXK[16]) dropped 6% on an analyst downgrade, while homebuilder Hovanian (NYSE:HOV[17]) fell more than 5% on a Q4 loss.

Labour is certain to win this fascinating seat, which tends at General Elections to follow the national mood.
It was Conservative until 1997, when it fell to Labour - only to revert back to the Conservatives in 2010.
The Conservative majority was just 1,895 votes when Louise Bagshawe, as she then was, took it from Phil Hope - one of the MPs embroiled in the expenses saga.
A swing of less than 2% is sufficient for Labour and the latest national polls suggest the current swing to the Opposition is about 9%.
Game over then? In terms of the outcome, yes, but the interest will lie in the details regarding turnout, the strength of Labour's recovery, the scale of Conservative decline and the vote received by the other 12 candidates contesting the seat.
The main reason for Corby swinging to and fro between the main parties is its social make-up as half industrial town and half countryside dotted with small villages.
Labour's vote is concentrated in the Corby wards, while the Conservatives draw on support in East Northamptonshire.
This means mobilising the vote is all important. Labour will certainly fail to impress if it does not exceed the 7% average swing from the Conservatives at previous by-elections this parliament.
Assisting Labour's cause is the almost 8,000 votes the Liberal Democrats polled here last time.
Polling evidence suggests that many of these voters are currently camped in Labour territory but getting them to turn out and vote at a real election is a different proposition.
Damage limitation for the Conservatives is their chief motivation.
It is unlikely that former Conservative voters will lend a protest vote to Labour.
But a significant fraction might be seduced by the idea of UKIP whose candidate, Margot Parker, will doubtless attract support from disaffected electors convinced that our economic recovery is hampered by immigration and the European Union.
A recent constituency poll commissioned by the Conservative benefactor Lord Ashcroft contains some interesting features.
Considering only those electors most likely to vote, it suggests Labour will poll 54% (+15 since 2010), the Conservatives 32% (-10). Such an outcome would mean a swing of 12.5%.
The poll also sees a threat to the Liberal Democrats and a slide into fourth place behind UKIP.
However, neither party is forecast to get more than 10% of the vote - meaning Corby should remain a two-horse race.
Victory will be welcome news for Labour and its leader Ed Miliband. We have to go back to early 1997 to find the last occasion Labour captured a by-election seat from the Conservatives.
The Opposition will be celebrating a win here but also in two other seats, Cardiff South and Penarth and Manchester Central, where Labour MPs resigned to contest the Police and Crime Commissioner elections.
However, before Mr Miliband gets over-enthusiastic about his prospects for the next General Election, he should note the Ashcroft poll also showed that the team of Cameron/Osborne is still preferred by Corby's voters to the Miliband/Balls alternative.

Yucatan News: Cliff Diving, Gas and Oil
News Starting June 07, 2010
Cliff Diving in Yucatan?
When we first heard that part of the 2010 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series would be held in Yucatan, we thought someone must have made a mistake. We live on a limestone shelf – and, for the most part, anything near water is flat as a pancake. But that's because we were thinking of some of those cliffs along the Pacific Coast. We never thought about our cenotes and surely never thought one of them would qualify for this kind of location honor. We didn't make it to the event, but our friend Josh – over at American Egypt – attended and posted a video of the event, as well as a link to the tournament's website. We will warn you now that, if you are afraid of heights, all of these videos are heart stoppers. Congratulations to all of the participants and to 1st Place Winner Gary Hunt of Great Britain.
Scouts at Evolucion
This past weekend, two Boy Scout troups from Merida and Uman visited Evolucion to learn more about dogs and about taking care of the environment. They had a wonderful time, bathing and playing with the dogs, as well as enjoying Silvia's talks on the environment. These children are the generation that will next inherit the Earth. What we teach them today will make all the difference in the future of the world itself. You are invited to come and participate in these same activities as volunteers. Evolution needs the extra hands and the dogs need you to give them human contact and companionship. Next month will be Evolucion's 4th Anniversary, so keep an eye on Yucatan Living's calendar. We will publish the details of the celebration as soon as they are released.
A New Priest for Chelem
Chelem and Chuburna are growing! Father Gabriel Roger Us Calvillo will take over the new parish of Nuestra Senora de la Medalla Milagrosa de Chelem sometime in July. He has been a priest for 30 years, most of which have been served in Dzidzantun. During that time, he spent 13 years in charge of the parish and served the beach communities of Santa Clara and Chabihau. This new assignment will take in both Chelem and Chuburna, as well as other communities in the area. Between Father Gabriel Us and Father Lorenzo Mex, of Progreso, look for not only increased activities in and around the churches, but in areas of opportunity for community service as well. Congratulations to Father Gabriel Us and to all who will benefit from his new assignment.
We Get By With a Little Help From and For Our Friends
Although Yucatan Living does not have a classified ads section, we do - from time to time - help out when readers are in need of something one might not easily find. For example, this week, we received the following requests and thought we would pass them on. Maybe this is just the ticket to add a little fun to a long, hot summer.
American writer in Merida is looking for several volunteers to participate in an informal reading of a new stage play. Extensive acting experience not necessary. Native English speakers or highly fluent English required. Looking for 3 women and 2 men. Email Laureen at firstname.lastname@example.com
And Bridge...
Bridge players seeking other bridge players for a game! Anyone playing rubber or duplicate bridg, please phone Peter and Glenda in Merida at 999-160-7109 or 999-160-4685. Let's get started!
Cable TV Comes to Valladolid
Valladolid is not only getting Maya Cable TV, but they are getting their own local television channel as well! It is expected that approximately 8,000 new customers will take advantage of one of the great packages offered by Maya Cable TV. These include packages from 35 to 100 channels and options for premium and open channels as well. No news yet on prices because the company is still signing contracts, but soon they will be up and running. This is great news for the people in the Valladolid!
Pemex's Monthly Increase
On June 12, diesel went up to $8.64 pesos per litre. Magna went up to 8.28 pesos per litre, and Premium rose to $9.86 per liter. These monthly increases are to help ease the impact on working people and on those who must import products from other parts of the country. Prices go up now every month and are announced in the media so, if anyone is thinking of driving down, be sure and check to make certain you have budgeted the correct amount for gasoline on your trip.
Winning Vo-Tech Diploma: Internal Combustion
Sometimes, the person in the room who is the biggest financial winner, over a lifetime, is the one who understands mysterious things... such as plumbing, carpentry, and how to fix a car. In Yucatan, we have a number of Vocational-Technical schools. In one case, one of these schools only had three choices of study: nursing, accounting, and something called internal combustion. Yes, this is one of those little acorns and mighty oaks stories because now, there is an agreement between the school and 10 different automobile makers to open shops in Merida and for the school to train people to repair their cars.
The school has done so well that they are actually having to limit their enrollment in the program to only 40 students and they are able to choose students with the best qualifications. These students are going to work for excellent salaries in dealerships and company-owned workshops in Yucatan and in neighboring states. That's a pretty good deal for young people who originally chose to get an education in something called internal combustion only because they didn't want to be a nurse or an accountant. Our congratulations to all of these students, to their professor's vision, and to the automobile companies who have given them this opportunity.
Tekax Drought
While most of us keep our attention on Merida and the beach, there is much to this adopted state of ours that we seldom see. What we do see is the bountiful harvest and we enjoy every luscious bite. Unfortunately, there is a problem in the southern portion of our state this year. There is a drought in full swing in the orange groves of Yucatan and 85% of the sweet orange crop is already gone. This comes on top of 2 years of failed corn crops due to extreme heat. The result is that the farmers are having to take temporary jobs elsewhere, mostly in reforestation, or they are packing up their families and moving on. This is almost unheard of coming from ejido land (but was a common Maya way of dealing with drought in the pre-Hispanic culture)! With the State entering into a period of austerity, we wish these farmers our best and hope their great need is not overlooked.
The Oil Spill and Yucatan
We have two different press releases to be considered with respect to the possibility of the oil spill reaching Yucatan. First, there is a statement that there is no threat to Yucatan at all and that it would be irresponsible to frighten the public with this issue. Second, there is a statement that, if the oil spill does come to Yucatan, it will not arrive until October or November. Depending on wind and weather, that could actually be as early as late August.
After looking at the six possible scenarios run by the University of South Florida, it looks as if the prevailing currents and winds are moving the straggling oil patches away from Yucatan. However, that is for today and we do not know what tomorrow will bring so please monitor that site closely.
While it is comforting to know that any oil that does reach this far will be diluted many many times, we still don't know what effect even the slightest amount will have on our environment and sea life. It is always better to be prepared and never use what we learn than to be faced with a crisis, no skills or equipment, and an impossible learning curve.
The Oil Spill – What Can We Do Now?
While the people of Louisiana and the U.S. Gulf Coast need help badly right now, at least some parts of the Gulf Coast of Mexico are also likely to need help before this is over. Watch your local papers and the press releases for the State of Yucatan, and be ready to go when the first call for volunteers comes. Yes – it is important to learn to clean oil from a bird, but people matter too.
Spend your donation money wisely and try to keep it in Yucatan. Support your local Food Banks, both private and church-run. Support your local animal shelters, since pets are often the first family members to feel the effects of such a tragedy. There is no way to describe what it would mean to Louisiana's victims of this oil spill if only someone would help them with one electric bill, one doctor's visit for a child, or one bag of dog food. Try to keep that in mind as you look ahead to what might be needed in Yucatan.
If all goes well and the oil never comes to Yucatan, donate part of your preparation resources to food banks and shelters for people and animals – then spend the rest on what we all hope will be the best Christmas visit Santa has ever made to the beach towns of Yucatan!
Help The Animals of The Gulf
You know us... we have a soft spot in our hearts for the animals. If you do too, here's how to help some of the animals of the hardest-hit areas along the Gulf of Mexico due to the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Plaquemines Animal Rescue Society
You can help by...Adopting, Becoming a Foster Parent, Writing Grants, Undertaking Fundraising Activities, Cleaning Cages, Feeding and/or Cleaning Dogs and Cats, or Making Donations of Money, Time, or Supplies - Please do not hesitate to contact the Plaquemines Animal Rescue Society.

Address: P.A.W.S., P.O. Box 83, Belle Chasse, LA 70037. Their physical location is: 9596 Hwy. 23 in Belle Chasse. This is the NOLA story on the dog food sent from this Belle Chase location.
Coastal Pets Living in Other Parishes
During and after Katrina, that storm became associated, almost exclusively, with the name of the City of New Orleans. The rest of the people of Louisiana were lost and forgotten. There is every indication that this same phenomenon is currently repeating itself, with Deepwater Horizon becoming completely associated with Plaquemines Parish. While our hearts are broken for the people who depend on work in and from Plaquemines Parish, we ask that everyone to please remember to think of the pets in the other coastal parishes (see map) as well... and, after Plaquemines, in this order (click on the names to go to each animal shelter website):
St. Bernard,
St. Mary,
Vermillion (ongoing crisis), Iberia,
and Cameron.
Editor's Note: We are lucky to have Khaki writing our news for us, who happens to be born and raised in this area of the country... and she knows it well. So if she says these are good places to donate money, she knows what she is talking about. Be generous... it WILL be appreciated!
A Gift From the Ixtoc Oil Spill
All news about the effects of the Deepwater Horizon spill need not be negative for Yucatan. Did you know that, before the Ixtoc spill, 30 years ago, there was no pulpo fishing industry in Yucatan? In many cases, there may be a quick fish kill of the first fish to encounter such pollution but the rest have time to move to cleaner water...and that's just what our pulpo did. Today, the news is all about a brand new pulpo industry – stewed and canned octopus, to be exported right here from Yucatan! Some are even considering dabbling in pulpo farming. So, don't throw in the towel just yet. While it would be tragic for us to benefit from someone else's disaster, the sea is a dynamic organism that moves and changes to protect itself in times of danger. This time, we just may get lucky with yet another gift from the sea.
Semana Santa For Visitors and New Expats
While researching something else in a newspaper dated in April, we ran across some numbers related to one of the most interesting phenomena in all of Yucatan: Holy Week (Easter) in Progreso!
New expats move to Progreso … or Chicxulub, or Chelem... and think "Ah! This is the life. Peace at last." ...then Spring comes, and they notice that things sure are getting awfully clean in their beach town or village. Isn't that nice? (all old expats laugh here) ...and then it happens. Semana Santa begins. In the late morning hours of the first Friday of Holy Week 2010, police counted an average of 15 to 20 vehicles per minute entering Progreso on each of several roads. By 1:00 PM, that number jumped to an average of 30 to 35 vehicles per minute entering Progreso on each of those same roads.
Within a day or so, new expats begin to suspect this influx of people and cars may continue for the duration of the week – and they are right. Yes, yes – we know. It takes constant cleaning to keep up with them all, but you have really never seen anything like it. This is also why many permanent beach residents take this opportunity to go far away on vacation every year. For one of the most amazing sites you will ever see, try to make it to the Malecon in Progreso during the next Semana Santa (April 24, 2011).
Oh, and while we're at it, if you are planning to come to Merida for Carnival, Fat Tuesday will be on March 8, 2011, so schedule your trip for the week ending March 10, 2011.
CasiYucateco 7 years ago
We've been reading that some of the biggest worries for Yucatan regard the wildlife that feed or reproduce in the marshes and mangrove swamps of Louisiana and migrate back and forth to Yucatan. This includes all four species (or is it five? think it is four) of endangered sea turtles, golden rays who migrate between the western coast of Florida and Yucatan and others.
There are only two bluefin tuna spawning grounds in the world where these huge fish go to reproduce. One is very near the actual site of the leak. The big concern is that the fish will return, their eggs will hatch and the fish larvae will die from eating oil droplets mistaken for plankton. The dispersants being used a mile beneath the ocean are creating great plumes -- like undersea clouds -- of oil, dispersant and water. Although the concentrations are small, it may be enough to kill millions of fish larvae.
There is now evidence that fish and birds are able to sense some of the oil and are attempting to move away from it, with thousands gathering in shallow water near the US coasts. Experts are worried that they will end up trapped there if surface water oil moves in that direction. With luck, more are moving in other directions away from the oil and not just to shore.
Dolphins, gulls, many other forms of wildlife use the entire gulf as their home, playground and reproducing area. We hope and pray that the oil can be stopped soon and some way found to clean it up promptly. If we had a vote, we'd like the dispersants to stop being used -- many oceanographers have recommended this -- so the oil comes to the surface and can be collected or burned off, rather than blended with the water, under the surface, where it may be killing future generations of sea life, sight unseen.

A biweekly staff review of East Coast and regional lodgings.
My expectations were high as I turned onto the long driveway at Conley Resort in Butler, Pa. On either side of an asphalt road that looked as if you could eat off it, a line of pin oaks created pools of shade on greens that rivaled the Emerald City. Although fall was in the air, there was nary a leaf on the ground. The sound of a working yard vacuum provided the reason for that.
I passed a white house with a graceful porch on my left; ahead on the right were lodgings with hunter-green Tudor trim. No welcome mat, though. The resort entrance was up the hill, around the corner. The view must be even lovelier up there, I thought.
It amounted to a parking lot, a towering stand of trees and a goodly number of doors to guest rooms.
That, as it turns out, was a perfect introduction to the place.
There's nothing much pretentious about Conley Resort. The R-word is most accurate in reference to the environs; in this case, western Pennsylvania farm country, about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. If you're a mid-level golfer, Conley's 18 holes will provide a suitable challenge (slope rating: 120). If you're a local or a passerby, its Knickers Tavern will cut you a good deal on crispy, "giant" chicken wings during happy hour while you root for the Penguins or the Steelers on wall-mounted wide-screens.
If you're a guest, you'll find that the rooms are plain and sparsely appointed. The under-counter fridge might rattle just a notch above white noise, and you'll find what the real estate folks like to call "builder-grade" fixtures in the bathrooms. The closet's a rack-with-shelf on the wall. The door has an old-school lock and key. Room service? Nah. But chances are good that you came to propel a small white ball around all day, not relax in luxurious surroundings, right?
And when you're a guest who doesn't play golf, you can pass the time poolside in the sauna or hot tub. As soon as the busted parts get fixed.
Wayne Conley's father and mother bought the resort in the early 1970s. It was humbler then — a working pony farm transformed into a duffer's paradise with a 12-room motel to attract the "golf package" set.
"A dozen [rooms], because that's what was needed to acquire a liquor license," Conley says. The previous owners were the ones who placed the main building with the back facing the front.
Conley, 61, has worked there since 1974 and is now the owner. There's a nice Conley family portrait at check-in that seems to watch over the friendly front-desk clerks.
"We have a very good staff," Conley says. "They're all local people who seem to enjoy working here. The grounds superintendent has been here for 30 years — started washing golf carts and educated himself on turf management."
The owner credits Myrtle Beach, S.C., with his resort's steady April-to-October stream of business. "They were promoting themselves as a golf destination," he says. "People driving down from Canada or from Buffalo found us along the way and said, 'Hey, if we just stopped and played here instead of going all the way to South Carolina, we could get in more golf! We could play in the morning before we have to drive home!' "
Such things matter to the traveling golfer.
The hotel would sit nearly empty in the off-season, however. So Conley turned the uniformly shallow indoor pool with a single slide into Pirates Cove Waterpark by adding a ship's hull, a water cannon, eye-patched mannequins, two swervy water slides and a party/video game room for the kids. It has proved to be an inexpensive getaway and an easy venue for celebrations — popular with the after-school crowd, especially in winter.
The white house I'd passed is the original farmhouse, which the Conleys renovated to sleep 16. "It's rented every weekend all through the season," he says. To those golf package people.
At Knickers, on the course's closing night, I enjoyed the meatloaf dinner special (with two sides, $6.99). Post-happy hour, I was the only non-employee woman around. A few small groups of older gentlemen in golf gear populated the U-shaped bar and the tall tables with stools. Soon, I'd struck up a conversation with Earl Dillner, Conley's tender of fairways and flowers. He was chivalrous and charming. When the carts are running, Dillner works five days a week plus one weekend morning. Turns out, he'd worked on the original pony farm, then at an ironworks, until he retired at 65.
He came back to Conley afterward and asked Wayne for a job. "He thought I was going to say he was too old," his boss says. "He can still outwork the young guys."
Now Dillner's 90. Didn't see that coming — nor the polite request that I call out jukebox titles for another senior at Knickers with money to burn. It was all downright neighborly.
As I drove away the next morning, after my complimentary full breakfast, my view of the Conley resort looked just as good as when I'd arrived.
Conley Resort
740 Pittsburgh Rd.
Butler, Pa.
Rates, with breakfast, from $119 double occupancy Sunday-Thursday; from $129 Friday and Saturday.

A Minnesota woman credits "fighting like a girl" for saving her life.
In 2012, Angela Champagne-From was attacked and stabbed with a hunting knife in a downtown Minneapolis parking lot. She's now sharing her story.
"There was someone behind me, an object at my throat, and someone said, 'We're going for a ride,'" she told KSPT-TV.
But 48-year-old Robert John Meyers targeted the wrong woman that April day.
Champagne-From says she "fought like a girl" and did everything she could to scare him off.
"[I] scratched, screamed, bit, hit my horn, I mule kicked him backwards, I reasoned with him," she told KSPT-TV.
[sharequote align="center"]"[I] scratched, screamed, bit, hit my horn, I mule kicked him backwards, I reasoned with him."[/sharequote]
"I was fighting like a girl, it wasn't my time," she added.
Her attacker agreed.
As Meyers left Champagne-From with a stab wound, she says he told her, "You're lucky you're a fighter."
Now, Champagne-From is speaking out, encouraging other women to enroll in self-defense classes and never stop fighting.
KSPT-TV also reports she is launching a non-profit called the FLAG Foundation, which stands for "fight like a girl."

Bruce slams door shut on Gyan
Steve Bruce has slammed Asamoah Gyan and said he has no future at Sunderland following his loan move to the Middle East.
By Hayley Paterson
Last Updated: 10/09/11 6:54pm
Steve Bruce has slammed Asamoah Gyan and said he has no future at Sunderland following his loan move to the Middle East.
The Black Cats were stunned when it was announced the Ghana ace had flown to the United Arab Emirates to sign for Al Ain.
Bruce has brought the likes of Nicklas Bendtner in on loan from Arsenal to provide the goals however he looks to have closed the door on the return of £13million man Gyan.
"I had a conversation with him 48 hours ago and he assured me, he shook my hand, that he wanted to be a Sunderland player, wanted to see the season, wanted to go the African Nations again in good form, wanted to work on his fitness levels then all of a sudden within a few hours it seems things have changed," Bruce told Sky Sports following their 2-1 defeat against Chelsea.
"Other people can make their own conclusions. You leave the biggest and best league in the world to go play in the United Arab Emirates.
"I'm sorry but sometimes football, sometimes it's baffling to say the least. Very disappointed in the timing of it, the whole thing has left a bad taste if I'm being honest."
Asked if the 25-year-old striker had a future at the Stadium of Light, he answered: "No I don't, I don't believe that, I don't believe he's got a future here, I don't think he can.
"You can't leave this club and want to leave and want to go the United Arab Emirates and we're going to welcome you back with open arms, I can't see it but you never know."

Masked Irving doesn't ride this time
Bobcats 86, Cavaliers 80
Kyrie Irving broke his nose in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. He planned to re-don his mask and play through the pain. Irving is not going to let a broken nose stop him.
The Cavaliers though have to soldier on with Irving in whatever condition he is in. That could mean some ugly games are on the way. He scored 18 points and dished out 10 assists for the Cavaliers as they got out to a slow start but a lead nonetheless — 18-12 after one quarter.
Charlotte had the answers in the fourth quarter though. Scoring the 86-80 victory at Quicken Loans Arena.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 16 points to lead the Bobcats in scoring and help them score the victory.
Charlotte has proven in the early part of the season that they are not the same squad as they have been in the past. Al Jefferson is providing a solid base to build from. Jefferson though missed this game and Charlotte needed to rely on its defense and solid defense and shot-blocking from Bismack Biyombo and Josh McRoberts.
Neither team cracked a field goal percentage better than 40 percent in this slog of a game.
Pistons outlast Kings
Pistons 97, Kings 90
Detroit snapped a four-game losing streak with a big road win on the team's West Coast swing. Josh Smith scored 21 points, grabbed eight rebounds, dished out seven assists and had five steals for his stat-stuffing night. Andre Drummond had 15 points and 18 rebounds, outdueling DeMarcus Cousins' 26 points and 13 rebounds. It was a big effort from Detroit to secure the win.
Iguodala makes Warriors real contender?
Jazz vs. Warriors, 10:30 p.m.
Thunder vs. Bucks, 8:30 p.m.
The NBA is still buzzing about the turn of events that led to Andre Iguodala hitting a game-winning fall-away jumper to defeat the Thunder on national TV. For Golden State it was the first really solid win of the season and put the league on notice that this Golden State team might be ready to do something more. Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld was ready to declare that the Warriors could do more. Golden State certainly should be considered among the league's contenders now.
Teague powers Hawks past Sixers
Hawks 113, 76ers 103
Everyone has waited for "Playoff Teague" to make an appearance in the regular season. It appears Atlanta finally saw him in a regular season game. Jeff Teague scored a career-high 33 points. DeMarre Carroll had 21 and Al Horford had 20 as the Hawks held off the spunky 76ers, who appear to be coming back down to Earth some with Michael Carter-Williams out with a foot injury. Evan Turner had 27 points, but seven turnovers in this shootout.
Trail Blazers keep rolling
Trail Blazers 109, Celtics 96
Portland seems well on its way to making good on its Playoff goals, defeating Boston on the road and winning the team's fifth straight game. LaMarcus Aldridge was the author of much of the Playoff talk as his impending free agency remains a major storyline in the Rose City. He is doing his part to get the Blazers there. He scored 27 points and added 12 rebounds to lead Portland to the win and get them to an impressive 7-2.
Jazz can't hold on
Spurs 91, Jazz 82
The Jazz seemed ready to build a winning streak. Yes, a winnin streak for the one-win Jazz after taking a 13 points lead after the first quarter and a seven-point lead into the final quarter. This is the Spurs though, and they are never out of the game. The young Jazz learned a valuable lesson as Tony Parker scored 22 points to lead the way. Kudos to the Jazz though for fithing. Utah got all five starters in double figures including Derrick Favors with 20 points and 18 rebounds. Scoring only 11 bench points though kept Utah from maintaining their leads.
Joe Clutch saves the day
Nets 100, Suns 98, OT
Joe Johnson has long been known for his clutch shots in big moments. He added another one to his legend. Johnson hit a layup as time expired to give the Nets their first road victory and get the team going on the right track. The Suns hot start appears to be cooling off. Johnson needed the bucket to make up for his 6-for-19 performance. Brook Lopez had 27 points to lead the way.
Bulls rout Raptors without Rose
Bulls 96, Raptors 80
The Bulls opted to sit out Derrick Rose on Friday night in preparation for Saturday's second showdown with the Pacers. That did not matter though as the Bulls still stifled the Raptors and scored an easy victory. Luol Deng scored 19 points and the Raptors got very little offense going aside from DeMar DeRozan's 37 points. Toronto's inefficiency is derailing their Playoff hopes early on.
LeBron outduels Dirk
Heat 110, Mavericks 104
It is always fun to see a classic scoring duel between LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki, probably the two most unique talents in the NBA. LeBron James won that matchup with 39 points in the win. Dirk Nowitzki was no slouch with 28 points on his own. Dallas and Miami like to play fast paced and they delivered in a big way in this game.
Pacers remain perfect
Pacers 104, Bucks 77
Milwaukee got Zaza Pachulia, Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour back after using a skeleton crew in a close loss to Orlando. That was still way too much to overcome against the Pacers who continue to win convincingly. Indiana got 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks from Roy Hibbert as Milwaukee simply could not attack the interior and get easy shots. Paul George added 22 points as the Pacers are staking their claim to be the long-term best team in the NBA this season.
Randolph powers Grizz past Lakers
Grizzlies 89, Lakers 86
Zach Randolph hit a few really quirky hook shots. That is what you have to do when you make your living with your back to the basket. Randolph scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The Lakers fought hard and kept the game within distance, but a missed 3-pointer late kept the game at a three-point lead. This was Memphis' first road win and a much-needed win.
Nuggets pull together
Nuggets 117, Timberwolves 113
The Nuggets have always been known as a team that has balanced scoring and plays well together. It led Denver to a 50-win season last year. This year has been a struggle to find that identity again. Friday against Minnesota, Denver came pretty close to finding it. The Nuggets put seven players in double figures, including four off the bench. Wilson Chandler led the way with 19 points off the bench. Kevin Love scored 28 points and Kevin Martin had 27 points for a decidedly unbalanced Minnesota effort.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- This month's Magic City Classic will include the usual parade, tailgating and revelry around Legion Field in addition to a new partnership with a longtime publication to add scholarships to the event.
Birmingham Mayor William Bell today announced the new association with Ebony and Jet Magazines for the 71st Magic City Classic matchup between Alabama State and Alabama A&M Universities. This year's 71st State Farm Magic City Classic game is Oct. 27.
Bell said the company would also establish a presence in the north end zone field box area and has committed to providing scholarships at Alabama State and Alabama A&M.
Ebony, a monthly magazine, was founded by John H. Johnson and has been published continuously since 1945.
It was compared in the past to Life Magazine in style, chronicling black American culture, news and activity for decades when those images were rare in other publications. The weekly Jet, is also a longtime publication by Chicago-based Johnson Publishing.
"The Magic City Classic continues to grow and act as an economic driver for our city," Bell said in a statement. "We are thrilled that both Ebony and Jet will now be a part of the Classic tradition We look forward to continuing to propel the Classic forward and having its economic impact on the city continue to grow."
The annual game includes a parade and other events and draws 60,000 to 70,000 inside Legion Field and thousands more outside. The 2011 ticket count was 66,473.
Bell today was flanked by city officials and Classic organizers. In addition, Park and Recreation Board member, former Mayor Bernard Kincaid, was at the stadium. Kincaid has called for more information on the Classic and planned activities at the stadium, citing the board's role as custodians of the stadium.
The Park Board next week is set to have another briefing from city officials regarding the Classic.
Kincaid has called the briefing necessary to avoid a repeat of last year where the authority was shut out of planning over the event, and were unaware of costs associated with the game, post-game events and receptions.
More than $169,000 in city money was spent for Classic-related entertainment last year, including $28,000 for performer and management fees, $30,000 for catered food and $10,000 for hotel rooms, according to figures obtained by The Birmingham News through public information requests in 2011.
In all, the city spent $604,703 to produce the annual event, which pumps millions of dollars into the city's economy each year.

Not only did the Rapids romp into round five of the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday night, but they also welcomed back the talismanic talent that is Vicente Sánchez, who has missed the best part of six weeks due to a sprained knee.
He played the final 26 minutes of Colorado's 5-2 victory over Orlando City SC. The forward, who has five goals in MLS this season, had an assist on the Rapids' final goal of the night. For Sánchez, the match was an opportunity to work back to full health, all while the team moved closer to winning a trophy.
"I'm happy, glad to be getting minutes again with the team," said Sánchez after the match. "Very happy as well that the team won, that was the most important thing. Now I'm just hoping to keep getting better, to be at 100% with my teammates."
The forward, who scored four goals on penalties in the opening three matches of the league schedule, was injured in the first half of the Rapids' May 3 win over LA Galaxy. Despite spraining his knee early in the game, Sánchez managed to score his fifth goal on a brilliant chip before leaving the game at the half. He was then diagnosed with a sprain, and Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni took his time in returning Sánchez to the field.
With MLS on a break during the World Cup group stage, the U.S. Open Cup match gave Sánchez a platform to stage his return – but also a chance for the Rapids to earn some silverware.
"Every trophy is important, and every official match that can get you a trophy, you have to give 100%," said Sánchez. "I think there is a lot of respect for this trophy. It's an important Cup, and it's a Cup that we want to win."
While the scoreline indicated a romp for the Rapids, Sánchez cited his team's performance as the difference, rather than a gap in quality.
"It was a tough match, and our opponent played good soccer. Deshorn had a great night, but there were other teammates that also had great nights. I think that as a collective team we played well. Now we have to get back to work to prepare for the next match."
Next up for Colorado is another game in the Open Cup, as the club faces the Atlanta Silverbacks on Tuesday, June 24 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park (TICKETS). Sánchez sees a great opportunity, for both him and the club.
"First, to get more minutes, after my injury, and also, that the team wins," said Sánchez, about his personal goals for the game. "It's good to have another match to get more rhythm for when the regular season starts up again. We're very happy to be playing for this trophy, and hopefully we can do things well."

OverviewIn winter, the Flume Slide is transformed into a 1500-foot high, open snow-covered face of a semi-alpine nature. In good snow years, it provides an exciting alternative to the regular Flume Slide Trail, adding a distinct mountaineering feel to what is otherwise a pleasant but fairly typical winter hike in the White Mountains. The general angle is on the order of 30-35 degrees, increasing to about 45 in some of the steeper sections around the middle and especially just below the top. The slide has a west-southwest aspect, which means it catches afternoon sunshine (nice on cold winter days), but also giving it significant exposure to the prevailing winds, which is compounded by the absence of trees on most of the slide. Numerous lines are possible, most ending either directly at the summit of Mt. Flume or a very short distance away, along the summit ridge. Conditions can vary from deep powder to hardpack, with everything in between; in addition, the upper part of the slide contains a large amount of loose rock which, combined with snow and/or ice, can be dangerous and should be avoided by staying on snow wherever possible. Avalanche danger is certain to be high after major snow events. In very good snow years, ski descents of the slide are possible, but obviously require expertise in backcountry skiing, as numerous obstacles exist.
Getting ThereTo approach the foot of the slide, follow the Flume Slide Trail (see description on the main page) for about 2.5 miles, to the point where the slide is plainly visible in front of you. At some point, the regular trail veers off to the right, following a minor gully. Instead of following the trail, continue along the main drainage, aiming for the large open expanse that is the main portion of the Flume Slide. Once you are on the slide you will know it: the trees rapidly dissipate and the angle increases dramatically once you're several hundred feet above the base.
Route Description
Descent is possible either by downclimbing the slide, or via the regular Flume Slide trail or the Franconia Ridge and Liberty Springs trails, passing the summit of Mt. Liberty.

Five white men walk into Chicano Park...
City council hears about "patriot picnic" clash in Barrio Logan
Eric Bartl 8 a.m., Nov. 19
Clairemont Mesa residents have had enough. Joel P. shared on NextDoor.com, "Ever since they redid the entire median on Balboa from Morena to 805 with landscaping years ago, we have been blessed with the only portion of the median that was left as a trash bin and swamp at this one corner (right in front of Coco's). I call it Zapf's Legacy Swamp, as she did nothing to get this situation rectified after years of repeated calls and emails to her asking for assistance. I'm curious to see if the next representative can finally get this taken care of for our neighborhood."
Ryan Trabuco, president of the Clairemont Town Council, said, "We've received a lot of emails on this as well through Town Council. At one of our last meetings, Councilman's Cate's office mentioned that this particular median is scheduled for some much needed repair (obviously) in the next fiscal year. Things are happening and moving forward but at a molasses, government-like pace."
Keith H. of West Clairemont shared that this issue was discussed at the Clairemont Community Group last week. He said there are plans to repave the eyesore median with rocks like the other medians in the area. No new landscaping will be added due to the drought. The poor drainage will also be addressed.
A resident from Clairemont Olive Grove, Janet L., said she heard it through the grapevine that there were plans to remove all trees along the Balboa medians. Mike H. of North Clairemont speculated that this could be a response to a tree that fell across Balboa near Ruffin Road last year. Janet said, "As a taxpayer I find it highly irritating that someone at the city didn't have the foresight about the drought, which began four years ago, not yesterday. Why didn't they plant succulents, more native plants? Now they're going to spend more tax dollars to cut the trees down?"
These are some of the questions residents will have in hand today at the Clairemont Town Council meeting. Other issues to be discussed include a discussion of public safety by the San Diego Police Department and San Diego Fire-Rescue. The meeting will also include a short presentation by a local 911 dispatcher that will be available to answer any questions or concerns.
Representatives for Congressman Scott Peters, State Senator Marty Block, Assembly Speakers Toni Atkins and Brian Maienschien, Supervisor Ron Roberts, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Councilwoman Lorie Zapf, and Councilman Chris Cate will also be in attendance.
For more information visit the Clairemont Town Council website.
That median is horrible. It's full of weeds and cracked concrete. I've never understood why they stopped working until they finished all of them. It looks like it should be in a ghetto. Terribly out of place.
Clairemont is a ghetto.
Rumors fly that they will remove the cobblestone and replace it with something flat, so beggers dont trip and sue. Has the "cardboard box" sign near Charger been replaced?
The last 3 councilmembers have been all talk and no action. The overall quality of life in Clairemont has gone down the tube in the last ten years or so. We pay our taxes and we should be getting more from the city and our councilmember. We need to band together and elect someone who cares about Clairemont more than running for mayor.
Alex Clarke is so correct. Once your "hood is a ghetto, you can forget ever getting even the basics from the slobberin' city. Get your taxes back? Nevahappen when Dean Spanos and his gang are on the loose, demanding a new stadium. Who's gonna pay for it? You are, you poor shmoo!

LAKE COUNTRY – B.C. Wildfire Management hit a small blaze in Lake Country yesterday afternoon and overnight hard.
Fire information officer Kelsey Winter says the fire near Posthill Lake Road in Winfield is 100 per cent contained as of this morning, June 28.
She says the wildfire was called in at about 2 p.m. on Saturday. It grew to about one hectare in size before the 21 firefighters, air tankers and skimmer aircraft had it under control. There is a hand guard around the entire perimetre of the fire.
Winter says the fire was burning in timber and no homes or other buildings were threatened.
Wildfire Management crews won't be on scene today, but will be back tomorrow as the fire is in the patrol stage.
Wildfire crews also fought a fire above Peachland near Zipzone Peachland on Brenda Mines Road Saturday and have 100 per cent containment on that blaze.
The location of the wildfire crews are battling in Lake Country is shown on this Google Earth map.Image Credit: B.C. Wildfire Management Branch

Video: Why Is Wikipedia Down? What Is SOPA?
Written under: Internet, Politics, Pop Culture, Technology
If you visit Wikipedia on January 18, don't be surprised that you'll only see a black screen. They, along with several other websites is doing a blackout protest against SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act that is being pushed through by the U.S. legislation.
The situation has escalated to such a level against the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate's Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) that Wikipedia and Reddit, along with other internet websites are sacrificing a day's worth of revenue and risk to spread information about SOPA and PIPA.
Below now is a primer video about SOPA produced by The Cynical Brit. Learn more about it and do your part to act now.

Take the long path which is the west road, at the T intersection go right and they are on the left side about half way to the next T intersection, which you would go right on to get to Montera.
If you try to continue passed the Druid base to Montera there are several Boars on the road you will have to pull one at a time or run past.

Can it support the "Buffalo Bore" cartridges? I tried hunting a .357 in the past, only shoot out to my proficiency level (9/10 inside a coke can)... so not worried about range... Thoughts?

Wacky. Animated.
That's what some folks are saying about Gov. Rick Perry's speech last week in New Hampshire.
A writer for the National Review even said that the speech looked like it was given under the influence of pain medication from his recent back surgery. (Perry had back surgery in July).
A very animated Perry gave the speech to a crowd of about 400 attendees. What's getting attention is now WHAT Perry said, but HOW he said it.
The normally reserved, calm candidate was much more animated for the crowd.
In the video, Perry can be seen waving his hands around (much more than usual), making plenty of facial expressions and engaging with the crowd much more than in the past.
The video is not only making the rounds online, it's showing up on news outlets.
How it affects his campaign remains to be seen.

Rear track bar bracket
So long story shorty my rear trackbar bracket is completely ripped off my axle and ruined is there anywhere to source a new one??
Go with an adjustable track bar otherwise you'll end up with the same problem.
eBay should have them though
Maybe I read that wrong. I think you mean the actual bracket welded on the axle. Try tntcustoms.com or ruff stuff they should have it
Checked both no luck. It's the bracket that has the upper control arm built into it
Yeah I'm ordering a new adjustable one but I can't even find a new stock bracket.
The real reason it broke was because both my bumpstops some how fell out and the bracket hit on the bottom of the jeep breaking it
Iron Rock has a bracket kit for converting Ford 8.8 rear axle to a ZJ. You might be able to adapt that kit. Or you can make a new bracket.
I talked to Kolak and he is seeing if they will sell me just the track bar bracket from the kit, also am trying to get it fabbed locally
If you can't find one through any of the aftermarket manufacturers, take measurements and fab your own from box steel. It is very easy to do if you have an angle grinder, 10mm and 12mm drill bits and a welder. Half an hour job :thumbsup:

The Firefox vote
As Joe Trippi pointed out to me while I was reporting this story, most of the voters who might turn on McCain for his lack of tech-savvy are voting for Obama anyway.
But in any case, techies of both parties had suggestions for McCain's effort to change his "illiterate" image:
In interviews with Politico, techies offered a range of solutions to turn around the image of the tech-challenged Republican, and implored him to stop talking about computers, and start showing that he uses them.
Some suggested that McCain pick up some gadgetry. A flashy wireless earpiece might remind voters of the gear he wore as a fighter pilot, said Soren Dayton, a Republican consultant who left McCain's campaign after an impolitic posting to his own Twitter account.
David All, a tech-centric Republican consultant had another suggestion.
"If I were counseling John McCain, I would have him standing in line for an iPhone," he said.
"I would make sure the next time John McCain is around a group of photographers, he's on his iPhone and he's checking out Meghan's blog," he said, referring to McCain's daughter's online diary of the campaign trail.
All also suggested that McCain open his own Twitter account, and post short messages directly to the Internet.
"I wouldn't let any staff anywhere near it," he said.
"For the love of G-d, don't let him be photographed using the web as if it's something to photograph him doing," emailed a Republican consultant and the author of the blog Alarming News, Karol Sheinin. "It will just remind everyone of that time they taught their grandpa about email."
"He has to stop talking about it," said Josh Levy, the managing editor of the social networking site Change.org. "He should just drop it into conversation, say, 'Yeah, I only use Firefox.'"
One other interesting point from Trippi: In 2000, McCain's campaign was cutting-edge.
ALSO: Coincidentally, Mark Leibovich writes on a similar topic.
