My criticism of median planting is based on one, simple thing: professional landscape architects hired by the County ought to understand the cultural requirements of the materials they specify.
If my columns seem negative, it's because there are so many horticultural errors out there that I just don't have room to talk about all of them.
Let me point out that experimentation is something that I do in my own gardens, not on client projects, and certainly not in common area improvements.
As to the cost, the thrust of this particular column was very simple: the desired planting design, with which I have no issue, could have been achieved with significantly fewer plants, had the specifier simply understood his plants. The length of time required to maturity is immaterial in an institutional setting.
Design is not opinion.
Thanks for the kudos, and of course 'food' isn't correct except in the broader sense of what an organism needs to live…and don't forget, I have a general audience, so I want to make the argument broadly appealing.
Of course, the amount of garden fertilizer actually running into our waters is completely unstudied.
While it is true that most trees DO produce seeds, this particular tree is just awful. I have a very similar tree in my own gardens. There's a piece called 'It's Cryin' Time Again' here [NDN won't support a link long enough to take you there directly]:
On what makes weeds, it's just the fact that the seeds will germinate just about everyplace and in huge numbers, that's all, making maintenance a huge problem. Even thick plantings of Asian Jasmine can't resist.
And of course more to the point is this: the County hires professionals that specify these rogue trees with huge maintenance issues; the specification is clearly wrong, as wrong as using Magnolia on Goodlette. Those specifiers should be liable.
Perhaps the folks in Marco would like to check with the University of Florida's recent paper called 'Unintended Consequences…Associated with Fertilizer Ordinances'. This isn't a simple matter.
This is a long paper, but I prepared a summary of the important points along with a link to the entire publication:
Michael Spencer MLA ASLA
According to the University of Florida, natives have no inherent advantage over exotic plants, and sometimes have clear advantages. Drip irrigation is fine in a fixed bed; I've written on this many times.
As to sod, I couldn't agree more, except that I'd rather see sod than huge beds of mulch.
It won't last, making it a poor choice for an institutional setting that requires long-enduring materials.
I am guessing that both esteemed commenters know nothing about Ms. Green or about her incredible abilities. We are lucky to have her help.
Google is your friend.
I think it is fair to say that the existing palms don't do the job, so I do not disagree with replacing them.
As to the appeal to disease, this is another poor excuse for personal preference, that's all.
Anyone remember the issues surrounding TwinEagles? You know, the project that is still there and still building?
But in the process, Ms. Payton almost single-handedly cost many Naples area contractors and designers millions of dollars.
And for what? Did the project stop? No. Was a point made? No.
And, lest anyone ask, yes, I was one who lost more than $100,000. Try losing that kind of money as a (very) small business and then try to keep the house. I was lucky.
There is a very long history to that project, including the County pulling an approved PUD. Eventually, bankruptcy was declared by the developer.
And if you are 'against' development, that's fine. In many ways, so am I. But I do think that when a project like TwinEagles acquire inertia, stopping isn't going to happen.
Here is what happened: millions of dollars owed to suppliers and consultants were removed from the balance sheet, thereby lowering the price to an attractive number for Bonita Bay Properties to purchase the project.
Fair is fair, people.
it is also worth pointing out that, based on this story, the City is paying more than $2000 per tree.
They could buy very nice Royal palms for this price, rather than the substitute, and not nearly as appealing Foxtail.
Remember WNOG, back before it sold out? How about Saturday Swap Shop, and Carl Loveday's daily interview show with local leaders, and weather you could count on…you cannot replace community radio with the likes of the junk we have now.
I use internet radio now, too, but maybe community radio will come back, some day…
It's simply the case that the plan review process appears entirely opaque to the uninitiated. In fact, even to those of us accustomed to it, the exercise can be arduous at best, and not entirely serving the community, at worst.
And there's really no surprise that the public would go forward with a project, not realizing there were regulatory issues.
But clearly, Joe Schmitt was either misquoted, or quoted by a reporter not familiar with his story. Five years for even the basic plan? Please. I doubt Mr. Schmitt actually said that. My experience with plan review staff at the county level has been uniformly positive and professional.
You really think the development community would stand for a five year permitting process?
Certainly it is true that in cases where many state and federal agencies are involved the process can be lengthy. But five years for 'the most basic' permits? Doesn't happen.
There is something wrong with this story. If that much money, and that much time, were required, then this reporter has missed the real reason.
When the parking garage on Vanderbilt Beach, near the Ritz, was proposed, I was against it, thinking that the beach would rapidly become over-crowded.
And while it is true that there was wetland impact, in fact the garage has become a huge benefit to all of us. I was wrong.
Beaches are, from an ecological point of view, among the most resilient of 'ecotones'- a boundary between ecological zones. And so it is with Vanderbilt. I say, the more the merrier.
The only thing wrong with the proposal for Delnor: not big enough.
Michael Spencer
What a terrific story, someone with means to help actually helping.The rest of us, of course, help collectively through taxes and programs.
Here's the correct link for the Native Plant Society's info sheet on Lantana called 'The Lantana Mess':
Council positions are by and large full time, so the low salary means that many very qualified people cannot afford to run.
Give these positions a reasonable salary, and the range of available candidates will be much wider.
Is there any reason they should serve us and not receive a commensurate salary?
Wow! a very nice piece, and only one quibble; let's don't say that Marx was a 'landscaping' teacher. OK? the proper term is Landscape Architecture.
And yes, Ray is a terrific designer, and we are very lucky to have his work at the Botanical Garden.
Michael Spencer ASLA
The usual anti-tax diatribe is simply stunning. Tax policy in this country has resulted in a degraded infrastructure and a huge mountain of debt, most of it at the feet of the right- which continues to claim that, the lower the taxes the more the government gets; forgetting, of course, that Reagan and Bush leave with huge debts.
We need the infrastructure. Sure, we need lower taxes- but only if we can afford it.
Let's pay off our bills, and let's build the infrastructure we need.
By positing that creationism is a full-fledged alternative to evolution, the right has managed to elevate faith-based notions to the level of scientific inquiry. By and large, this has been successful, mostly because it gives sympathetic legislatures some cover when they are questioned by rational scientists: 'let's teach all of the options because we want our kids to know how to think!'
Similarly, the issue of climate change. Several posts above take a fairly calm view, and ask us merely to 'learn more', the implication being that in doing so one would come to understand that the contribution of human activities to the current warming of the Earth is tenuous at best.
It is an effective strategy because it seems so reasonable.
As one person pointed out, climatology is exceedingly complex. Yes, I have a scientific background and I can dig fairly deeply into the issue. To draw a fair conclusion, on my own, by examining the literature would rightly require a lifetime; anything less would be cherry-picking, an activity perfected by the right and, sadly, still regarded as productive.
The notion that any respectable percentage of knowledgeable climatologists would discount man-made contribution is laughable. One need only look at 'Science' or 'Nature' or any number of peer-reviewed research reports.
Mr. Lytle does a very good job of presenting balanced letters. And like others, Mr. Lytle has never refused my letters without an explanation, a courtesy much appreciated.
I DO think, though, that Mr. Lytle use more discretion in his choices. I'd like to see the level of discourse rise a bit, and I think that with his leadership the quality of letters would improve.
And what a thrill to hear from Carl Loveday! I hope he is well, and I wish we would see more of him. If you remember the old WNOG, you will recall Mr. Loveday's excellent interviews of local leaders. I miss it.
Hmm. My sense is that the University does not want another big payout- this time, to attorneys, who would surely be necessary once the lawsuit is filed. And while I generally support the notion that religious-based themes have no place in public schools, I confess that this seems a bit extreme.
Beachykeen: actually I did work the election. And more people would have had no benefit. What is needed are larger venues and more machines. And a LOT more of both.
Nothing intended to be mean-spirited. The people who work the elections do an incredible job. No, my criticism is- and was- directed at the top– to the person who should be out there screaming about the need to improve the election process. But where is she?
We are talking about CHILDREN here, people. Kids. Wasn't there ever a time when you goofed up?
You cannot begin to pass a course if you get a zero on some part of it. So, what of the kid who just makes a dumb mistake and then buckles down? This kid deserves a second chance. And the kid who serially fails will fail the course anyway. With a 50.
So, please, enough with the 'responsibility' crap applied to 8 year old kids, OK?
I am reminded by a local grower that Bottlebrush makes a very handsome hedge, and of course he is correct; space allows only a few to be listed. Try one of the upright Bottlebrush varieties for your hedge; the weeping ones make better specimen plantings.
bsdetector: this just doesn't make sense.
The appeal of the deal, to the investor firm, is capitalizing a revenue stream. It is this capitalization that is passed back to the state, which uses it for new construction.
It's a complex issue, and basically the state does a similar thing when issuing bonds. The state is limited, though, in several ways which disallow the state from simply capitalizing the revenue as a private firm would do.
Finding ways to put the state in a similar position might be beneficial. And I remind you that private firms are interested because they make a profit. Fair enough. But in the right setting, profit can accrue to Floridians rather than to a private concern.
The biggest issue, though, is allowing private capitalism to set social direction. We Floridians feel strongly that the state is OUR state. Some things simply should not be for sale.
Nice run-down, Cathy!
I am mindful of you comment, and will take up the subject in a future column. Maybe this winter :-)
Last week a nice lady named "D" called me and I said I would call her back; but her number was lost! Can you please call me again?
Thanks, Michael
One of my readers kindly pointed out that my observation relating animal size to longevity was not so good, and I stand corrected. I was actually thinking of elephants vs. rats, but then along comes the tortoise! And more to the point, I asked my vet about it, and she pointed out the fact that smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger ones. Oops!
Thanks for the correction…
oh. And no rats were harmed in the preparation of this story. Nor the compost system.
opnmind: what a great idea! You think they would lease me a piece of the beach? leasing is in the news these days, for sure:-)
Since the garage was built at Vanderbilt, that beach has been very busy, and for one I applaud it. Over the July 4th holiday it was crammed. And why not? it's a convenient place for all of our residents to enjoy the beach. Lots of kids, easy parking, lots of picnics, just a great time.
I'm just saying maybe we can respect each other a little bit, that's all. There's plenty of room and a very big Gulf; a few hundred feet would make a huge difference.
um, Brett? After reading most of your column, waiting for some really meaty point, turns out that the objection you have is the nomenclature?
You can do better.
Signs are proven effective when small and low.
And as to the issue of the trees, I'd like to know if an outside consultant was hired and specified these trees.
This has already been reported in "Duh" magazine.
Hmm. It's hard to discern exactly what is going on here, but see this:
"pumping storm water from a ditch on the west side of Goodlette-Frank Road to a newly created detention lake"
Is it the case that the golf course is simply dumping storm water? Could be, as old as it is, and there are other places doing the same thing.
However, in the architectural world, when you remodel a building you need to bring it up to code. Same for landscape improvements.
Why not for golf courses? why is the City expected to pay for this golf course to not dump storm water? Shouldn't they be required to bring the facility up to current code, which would require on-site detention?
Last Wednesday I saw this performance and was simply stunned with the quality of the entire event. I'm not sure what I expected– but not this. I was captured from the opening overture to the final moment.
Lumiere darn near steals every scene that he is in- as does Mrs. Potts, with a voice so perfect that I wondered–incorrectly– if she were lip synching. And who the heck is that side-kick for Gaston? His stage horseplay was a perfect balance of slapstick and restraint. And what a shame that the singing parts for the Beast were so limited; we were treated to an astonishing and powerful voice and wanted only more.
But the show revolves around Belle– and how wonderfully authentic is Rachel Ewy! She's a lovely young woman with a delightful voice, flawless stage presence, and excellent dramatic timing. Belle effortlessly leads this very strong support cast.
Yep, I cried at the end, and not only because the story was so involving. I simply wanted the show to go on.
How did 'swampbuggy' know if a permit was issued? by searching records? why not just leave folks alone?
The preponderance of mean spirit here is stunning.
This is exactly the kind of person we want in our country, isn't it? Can't we figure out a way to resolve these issues without the ugliness that I see here in so many of the posts?
First, find a local restaurant, and if that won't work for you, find Publix. There are a lot of local, non-boutique restaurants here.
And realize that this is a cyclical economy- cyclical annually, and cyclical overall. Deal with it.
Waiters and waitresses are too often stiffed and I don't blame them for expecting to be paid.
Why does music recorded decades ago have value? simple. The recording industry has everyone convinced that it does. And too bad that other artists: painters, sculptors, architects don't have the same interest group.
Imagine! You'd pay the architect every time you walked into a building. Silly, isn't it? Same for music. Why is it different?
where are the movie times?
is it really necessary to have classified on page one?
web site looks good but the functionality is poorly thought out.
Gee whiz!
I worked with Kathy as a volunteer consultant during the design phase of the new facility, and what is said about her 'style'- that she is an aggressive and focused person- is certainly true. But it is also true that there is an over-sensitivity in some communities towards any out-going behavior which is wrongly thought 'abusive'.
Kathy is a towering presence in her field who has helped countless people and brought to Collier an incredible facility. We ALL owe her a huge debt of gratitude- and we also owe her our respect as a citizen and as an important community member as the situation unfolds.
Zeroscaping, more correctly called 'xeriscaping', is, in fact, one of the shining points in the County's work. All of the water is re-use, none potable; and the systems and controllers use the latest watering technology [and yes, sometimes the system doesn't notice that it is raining!].
In fact, ALL plant material can be planted so as to minimize the amount of water required to make the plant beautiful, and one big part of that is grouping materials with similar water needs.
I don't know how else to respond to this other than with a long, thoughtful sigh. Come ON, Brent! Just because you cannot imagine a solution that works oes not mean that there is no solution to this admittedly vexing problem.
I am a professional land planner. And I promise you that there IS a solution that protects all of the parties. And while it is true that there will be no more 'long views', it is decidely not true that there will be only views of ugly houses. There are clever solutions from all parts of the country that can be used.
And beyond that, it's time for ALL fo us to wake up to the housing issues in Collier County. As we near build-out there will be more and more in-fill. And given the pressing need for housing, some of these in-fill projects will be close. Closer than you think.
Does this mean that your neighborhood will be overrun with people working on cars in the front yard? no. It's time for the predjudice to stop and to look at the real planning alternatives.
One more thing: one of the things that makes our charming northern towns work is the adjacency of dissimilar housing units. This is the single biggest definer of a true neighborhood.
Some ideas from a professional planner
1. Learn to live with higher service levels. 2. Make roads a bit narrower: we don't need 14' lanes for city streets.3. Make roads pedestrian friendly by reducing the huge turning radii at corners [the Vanderbilt-Goodlette intersection is a great example of over-build and unfriendliness].4. And finally, put non-mountable curbs at all medians so we can plant trees.

Venom has now joined violence on Iraq's danger list.
As the country's waterways run dry, snakes are moving into human territory, The Independent reported yesterday. Poisonous reptiles—including the saw-scaled viper, desert horned viper and desert cobra—are attacking humans and livestock in southern Iraq at an unprecedented rate.
Snakes that thrived in moist marshes in the country are now fleeing their parched habitats for nearby towns. Six people have been killed and 13 poisoned, along with the losses of countless cows. "I will leave the region if this continues," Jabbar Salleh, a farmer in the southern province of Nasiriyah, told the AFP earlier this month.

PORTLAND, OREGON (May 20, 2009) -- It is easy to understand how explosions involving shrapnel – such as those caused by improvised explosive devices in Iraq – could cause brain damage. But what about such injuries that seem to be caused by blasts themselves, rather than from being thrown or hit by shrapnel?
Researchers have a few ideas, but one scientist has used some of the world's most powerful computers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California to get a better answer. Willy Moss and colleague Michael King used available data on blast waves from explosions and the physical properties of the human skull, brain and cerebrospinal fluid to craft a three-dimensional simulation of a soldier standing less than 15 feet from an explosion of 5 lbs. of C4.

Market guide | Zillow predicts 34761 home values will rise 8.4% next year, compared to a 8.4% rise for Ocoee as a whole. Among 34761 homes, this home is valued 39.1% more than the midpoint (median) home, but is valued 12.5% less per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the 34761 market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold grew 5.9% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 8.2% greater than in Ocoee, and 200.3% greater than the national average. This higher local number may prevent 34761 home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Ocoee. Learn more about forecast calculations or 34761 home values.… moreless |

As is often the case on summer evenings, we were sitting on the porch in rockers, listening to the toads and contemplating the state of the world.
Suddenly, there were intruders. We heard the distinct whine, and then my husband was slapping his legs.
The mosquitoes had come.
Out in the garden, gnats attack. Down by the stream, the biting flies are voracious.
I hate insect repellent of any kind. It's icky. But using it is more than a matter of annoyance avoidance.

1) Dana Starks isn't going anywhere
2) Sullivan is still the Commander of 016 (He is on a temporary detail) - said...
Starks ain't going nowhere. Also, it is possible we could get someone worse in his place.
- said...
WORSE than Starks??? You must be high!!
- said...
Starks always has a job with reverennt meeks.
- said...
They still have to replace Sullivan in 016.. Its more than a temp. detail. On the record he will still be "assigned" to 016. I hear Ralph Price is already putting his stuff in the Commander's office.
- said...
otis needs another year for his pension, price should be acting til then.
- said...
Who does Sullivan work for now? Still CPD? Or is it another City Dept?
- said...
What's the matter? You white guys afraid another brother will take Dana's place? Grow up and come into the last century and get away from your prejustices.

Rumors from 35th St. as of today:

ADS Kirby (IAD)to Chief of OCD
Lt. Naleway(IAD) to Cmdr of 012
Cmdr Jackson ( 011) to take Dep Chief Radke's spot before end of year.
Sergeants class put on indefinite hold pending outcome of Federal "merit" investigation.
Cmdr of 003 being forced to retire ASAP after an endless list of assorted atrocities dating back the last 6 years begin to slowly be proven as factual.
More to come. Remember, don't bet money on these rumors, but some seem very likely. - said...

isn't it time for a change? - said...
They will bring back Retired Cmrd. Joe Curtin for Area 1. He's got some debt's to settle over there.

You must have got to 012 five minutes ago if laying that weak shit out there. Regis & Kathy Lee were the real love affair.

I have long way to go before I straighten up Area 1. I've spent the last year and a half trying to turn the best Lt on this job into the kinda useless fucking Lt I was, but he just won't break. If Farrell would just take a promotion then I could complete the destruction of this unit. Thank you ahead of time to those people who will get on here and defend me as a nice lady.
Dave Friel has a great ass. - said...
I ran into a lady today and when she found out I was a copper she asked me about an incident up in 016 in which the residents of a building near Lawrence/ Cumberland were so out of control with drug dealing, noise, etc., etc. that Dep. Chief Maher had to respond to because 016 wouldn't do anything. Any info?
- said...
Good morning,
I see that the name of Lt. John B. Farrell was again raised in a previous post. Of those outstanding veterans who remain on the job, his role as a mere homicide lieutenant (Area 1) is a disgrace to excellence. In my opinion, the CPD has none better for the very top spot.
Unfortunately even Farrell has his limitations: his passion for working the streets and balls as big as Montana. I regard him as the poster boy for CPD EXCELLENCE DENIED. His honor precludes him selling out for a bigger paycheck.
I've decided to make one exception to the confidentiality of the ACTUAL results of the EXAMSCAM lieutenants' list. While Farrell was promoted as #42 on the bogus list, the fact is that he was among eleven sergeants, two now deputy chiefs, that had a PERFECT SCORE on the LEGIT components of the exam.
The man's been shot, has worked the streets of Fillmo' with distinction and is arguably the very best of the best that remain on this fucked up job.
While he could understandably be an arrogant, obnoxious asshole, he is a low-key, modest guy. We also made dick together (legit!!) in the first class of 1970.
The mayor should give Farrell the choice of any damn spot on the CPD. Personally, I think he'd be an excellent Chief of Detectives, often out on the street by choice. Farrell is too wise a man to take a higher spot.
IF I was still on the job (I'm retired), this would be the first time anybody could accuse me of "sucking up." The fact is that I am merely stating the truth without any agenda.
(P.S: John. You owe me a double sawbuck a month in a plain envelope. Leave it with my doorman.) - said...
- said...
I worked for John Farrell for almost 10 years off and on. I wish I could write something as eloquent about the man as Sgt Northside did. Thank you. I'd follow John Farrell anywhere, but afterward he'd say I was next to him.
- said...
I was there that night on Barry Avenue, when John was shot twice by a drunken, Daniel Alverez with a 1911 .45. John's partner, Mike Malone emptied his S&W Mod 39 9MM into Alverez and his brother.
For a while Daniel Alverez looked like he'd recover from his wounds at IL Manosic Hospital. A month later infection set in and another scumbag went to Hell.
John's wounds were horrible, I know he was in terrible pain. As a former Army medical corpsman I doubted that he'd be able to walk again well enought to continue as a cop.
John Rallied on to a great career. Too bad I never got to work with him. - said...

The Shooting of John Farrell
One really nice night I was off duty sitting in my new Motor Trend Magazine, Car of The Year with a girl friend. You ask what was that wonderful car? Why it was none other than the 1971 Chevrolet Vega! Motor Trend Magazine has been on my shit list ever since.
The girl friend was an exceptionally hot, student nurse living at the Thomas O Wallace nurses residence at the Illinois Masonic Hospital located in the 800 block of West Wellington. My little nurse had a curfew and had to be in the facility at a certain time. We would spend the last 20 minutes involved in a mutual anatomy lesson in my cramped car until she had to check in.
There was a very tall chain link fence behind the nurse's residence and the rear of a large three story court style building located at 841 W Barry. Suddenly, I heard shots, then laughter and voices speaking in Spanish. I sent my nurse into the dorm building and told her to call the police. Then I heard someone yell, "Police officer, you come here!" Then I heard two bursts of gunfire. I could see muzzle blasts in the dark, but I could not tell who was who. I saw no uniforms. On the ground I saw a figure on the ground that appeared to be shot. Later I would learn that was John Farrell.
I saw another altercation with muzzle blasts on the steps. I later learned that was Mike Malone taking care of business with his nine shot S&W Model 39, 9MM. Because of the tall fence I could not get close enough and that was the best since I could not tell what was going on because of the darkness.
The 10-1 call with the shots fired, officer down must have gone out quickly because the cavalry arrived as fast as I've ever seen. The old really cool baffle sirens-that most Chicago cops on the job today have never heard were mixed with the sound of the newer electronic sirens.
I ran around to the Barry side and John Farrell was shot through his right Thigh and had a second gapping wound near his collarbone. He was bleeding badly. He was being tended by at least four uniformed officers. Nearby I could see an old model, Colt Trooper .357 magnum. That was John's service revolver.
Mike Malone was uninjured but full of adrenalin and standing on the steps next to the handcuffed brother of the shooter. You could see the bones of both of his kegs sticking out through this offender's skin. Malone's rounds incapacitated this offender.
Upstairs more officers grabbed the wounded shooter, Daniel Alverez. Alverez had five gunshot wounds and should have been killed but for the crappy round nose ammunition the department insisted officers use in those days.
Officers gently carried Alverez down the steps from either the second or third floor. I couldn't imagine what that thumping sound was as they Alverez down to a waiting wagon. He was transported for medical care less than a block away at the IL Masonic emergency room.
At the hospital there was the expected scene of pandemonium. Two offenders with gun shot wounds and of course John Farrell. John was getting his clothes cut off as they put the oxygen mask on him and connected an IV in each arm. John was in pain.
In the nearby room with Daniel Alverez, clumsy cops kept accidentally getting in the way of his medical treatment. That's when the nurses and doctor got pissed. They diplomatically had the on scene supervisor reduce the number of officers "helping" Daniel Alverez.
I remember Area Six robbery dick, Chuck Green going through Alverez's pants pocket. He found a fully loaded 1911 .45 magazine that matched the gun they recovered. Area Six, GA dick Ed Chorba who would later be killed in a crash of a private plane he piloted was doing some of the paper and took my information and I left.
John Farrell was in my prayers that night. I was sure he was through as a cop. I knew that that .45 slug shattered his femur. The second would was not such a big deal. He would live but a long recovery and lots of therapy was in his cards. Coming back to work was a question that Dr. Carroll of the Medical section would ponder for many months. Dr. Carroll thought for sure that a return to duty would never happen. John Farrell fooled Dr. Carroll and everyone else. Eventually John Farrell mended well enough to return and hit the streets.
As for Daniel Alverez, he stayed under guard from the old 019 District (Town Hall). My friend Jimmy O'Donnell was dumped there from Area Six Robbery. Jimmy was in a bad mood for many months too. His first assignment in patrol was to baby-sit this wannabe cop killer. Every day Alverez got stronger. He was quite a ladies man and soon became a hit with the nurses. The nurses treated the scumbag better than Jimmy O'Donnell. The parish priest from St. Sebastian would visit and bless this guy who was going to spend at least a decade in the IL Dept. of Corrections. It looked as though Alverez was going to recover faster than John Farrell.
Then one day Alverez developed a fever, chills and was no longer smiling. The hospital staff worked hard loading their patient with antibiotics. Jimmy O'Donnell's mood was getting better every day, as things were not going so well for his prisoner. After a three-day week end Jimmy found himself in a beat car, his prisoner and no longer needed a police guard.
We all learned from this shooting that out secondary weapons should be .45s. Soon every cop on the North side was sporting a .45 or a .44 magnum. - said...
The dept. didn't even give Farrell a blue star ribbon, at least back then.

You missed my joke in my 1:19:03 pm post. I said that Lt. Farrell is over-rated and to keep him in Area 1. My post meant that we don't want to lose the lt. because he's such a great and capable boss. So chalk it up as unanimous. Only a liar could say something bad about Lt. Farrell. It would be Area 1's loss but everybody knows he'd be the best chief...maybe ever.
Lighten up and don't get paranoid. Farrell is probably the most respected lt. the city's got. Area 1 just doesn't want to lose him. Most of the bosses are a--holes. - said...
Unless there is someone who can give a reason to the contrary, Lt. John Farrell is THE popular, if not unanimous choice for CHIEF OF DETECTIVES!
Also, like me, he is "a nice person". - said...
Agreed. John Farrell and Maria Maher are both "nice persons".
Now, based on their QUALIFICATIONS, who would make the best chief of detectives? - said...
I'm way late to this post, but I'd vote for John Farrell. Besides, he's a hottie (one of the few and far between ones on this job).

By now its no secret that Otto Porter didn't have the type of Summer League showing either he or the Washington Wizards hoped for.
Before training camp gets underway and NBA players get down to serious business, some key ones from the area will compete at the Goodman League Round Ball Classic later this month.
The Wizards better be healthy going into the 2013-14 season, and given their opposition to open that still might not be good enough.
The outlook for the Wizards has shifted upward since they ended the 2012-13 season with 29 wins.
Otto Porter will sit out his second consecutive summer league game for the Wizards on Friday, CSN Washington has learned.

First off my boots are tight, all of them. I had three pairs of these over the last two seasons. Every time I would try to add a different sock to the cycle I didn't like them. These are super thin, which can be hard to find. They are ready for the abuse!They are warm for being so thin! They don't stink! So I still haven't found my ski socks of old so I decided to try some new ones out (mostly only tried smartwool in past and wasn't happy), so far this season I have tried three different brands (Patagonia, Stoic, and Darn socks), must say I think I like all three more than the bridgedale (even tho still not as thin). Today I skied in the Patagonia ultra thin ski soft and very impressed. Still can't hate on the bridgedale, each pair has 50+ days and no signs of wear and I think when I get back in my alpine boots I will search harder for those thin socks.
Also the bridgedale are the lowest on my calfs.

I want these but compared to the st still makes me think penny wise pound foolish, literally. So when I look up the 2mil cord the tensile strength is anywhere from 40lbs to 200lbs, so where do I draw the line? Even if I pick 60lbs, do I still want that ski around me before it breaks? I almost think a good solution is a long retracable extendable leash (only in bc).
Don't know if you answered my question. It seems the screws are closer to the centerline (long ski length line) therefore less torsional strength.
My review is below.

I bought last years model on sale this year, was told they are the same. First bought the small and while waiting the quantity of medium was only a couple. So I ordered also a med because I was worried about height on sizing. The small said up to 5'6" and I am 5'9" plus and 140#. I wanted to try one of these but didn't want them riding up my crotch. Once the small arrived and tried it on I new it was a fit. It even some room to spare at my jewels but also all around (not too much). I would think the small would fit up to 5'10"+ if you are skinny. Never even put on the medium.
Comparing to my capilene 4 one piece, rab ps farmer john, and all my other baselayers are smartwool. It is not the warmest but still warm. Some cons are that it stinks easy (maybe that is just me since I always stink). Some pros are the #2 and #1 are user friendly (helpful when you work on mountain all day), no hood (even tho I love my capilene hood on cold windy days), 3/4 pant is way to go with ski boots. Not the easiest to get in and out of but who cares if you don't need to until you are done.
Airblaster please make wool ones with different thickness, w/o hood and 3/4 legs. Overall great work, my favorite baselayer.

I own a pair of radical st bindings and looking for an additional pair. I like the idea here of less money and less weight with equivalent performance. My biggest concern is safety being attached to the ski. Say I take a gnarly crash or in avalanche (using abs backpack) would the skis be dangerous flying around me. In an avalanche I would assume they would act like an anchor attached to my feet. What if they hit my head and knock me out? What if they cut my blow up?
Second concern is rear plate seems narrower than the st, and I am going to mount on 110 wide skis. I am 135lbs and the skis have thick wood so plenty to bite to. Could this be a problem?

I own the NRS Tyrant, the czar's little brother ( I am only 135 pounds). Since then I have ridden a naish and badfish and must say the stability on this board is significantly greater. Next year I will sell my NRS and buy this board and hopefully a surf designated board. But it is slower than my NRS and slower maneuverability and worse surfer. But when I was surfing I got side surfed and was able to stabilize on side tube and got out still standing, not a chance on my tyrant but the tyrant holds in the wave better. Overall best whitewater down river board I have been on.

These tights rock! I have never worn them biking or running but wore a bit with warm days skiing and use as a raft guide in class 2/3 waters. They fit well, I went to the smaller size and got a small just to make sure I had a lasting waste. They dry out faster or equal to my boardshorts and add a little insulation and knee protection. The only annoyance I have is with the backpocket since I never use it and sometimes while driving the truck it annoys me a bit. Other than that these provide a little bit of warmth and comfort.

Not the most comfortable but what do you expect out of a harness that packs into a jacket packet, can get wet, easy to put on/take off (even with skis on). I travel a lot therefore love this harness!

Don't count on this bag to be burly netting. But if you need a thin light mesh bag this one is good. Great for organizing in a bag or hanging; somewhere it won't get thrown around. Looks great, stretches/compresses well, strong for holding stuff but not for abrasions, excellent ventilation!

Do they make one of these with a press? Or can I buy a press that would fit?

I do like the undies! BUT... they do never smell bad, I mean never but they always and that is always have their own distinct smell which reminds me of peanut butter. So no matter what they have that same smell whether it has been three days in a row of shredding gnar or just out of the washer. Only other item that isn't a complaint is the material is not super comfortable, when compared to tarramar, rei, nike, stoic the other brands materials are just softer and more cozy. But they hold up well, everything still fits really well they do very well with moisture. So overall if you want a pair to last a long time and work very well these are great. I would probably not buy again.

Yes. The screw in the center is for calibration.
Serisouly it made my softshell jacket smell terrible like elmers glue but one day of shredding hard the odor was gone. Does it really improve the waterproofing, not sure, didn't see the water beading but it probably helps.

Love these things in powder. They float well, fast, fun, bouncy, light. I have them on Dynafit Radical FT, they also tour very well. Don't care for them much on groomers or moguls, haven't hit other terrain. When I toured to work one day I continued to ride them as a patroller. I ended up pulling a tobaggon with a large person down moguls and was nervous but they did good. Lots of edge to stop and control but was way more difficult going edge to edge turning since they are so wide and parabolic.
I am 5'9" and 135 lbs, bought the 175 cm, I am happy with the decision yea a shorter ski is better in the tight trees but the extra length is great for fat landings and touring.

What more do you need out of your 8?!?! Nuff said.

Overall I love this boot, tours great and skis similar to my langes. Fit is good, I have a lot of room in my toe box, only slightly problametic area is the outside anke but my ankle bones stick out. Not bad enough to have worked on. If they don't fit well I would guess they would be a pain to work especially since grinding is out of the picture. The rear latch gets stuck at times, so I cleaned the burrs that formed and is still a PITA to unlatch in rear, it might also be I have them clamped down super tight and unlatch for chairlifts. Another complaint is that it is not easy to take liner in and out if you switch footbeds. Overall they ski just as stiff as my langes but with more vertical feel, insanely light, moderatly comfortable, warm. What more can you ask for but an improved latch, replaceable bottom soles and a cheaper price!

Design is killer! Fits small, is light, ready for quick use. This is my small pack, light pack day shovel. But in reality after digging with it those bigger shovels, which I have one, moves way more snow. And I don't like the rounded shovel because it is not good for pits but one could argue the rounded and smaller blade will break hard chunks easier. Overall great product but if you were my partner I prefer you have a bigger shovel with longer handle.

This probe is great. It is what it says, light, quick to draw, measurements and built strong. Cons are I would prefer longer I had a friend live buried 45 minutes with avalung and if the rescuer had this probe he would have never found the burial victim. Also not the easiest to break back down but overall great probe. I have compared to others in classes and I like my probe.

Didn't buy my sidestashs from backcountry. But must say I love them. I have BD Amperage, Volkl Kendo. These are the best for everything ski. They handle corn, crud, powder, tour (light weight). Even thought the picture shows some chamber I would say the chamber is so small it doesn't have. My only complaint would be to add some stiffness especially torsionally but overall my go to ski.
