United Water, a subsidiary of Suez Environment, has reached an agreement to sell its regulated water operations in Arkansas for $28.6 million to Liberty Utilities Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities, a publicly traded Canadian energy company with water and wastewater interests in four states: Arizona, Illinois, Missouri and Texas.
The transaction, which is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter, is subject to regulatory approval by the Arkansas Public Service Commission.
United Water Arkansas provides domestic water service to about 49,000 people in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The company provides sewer and solid waste billing services to the city of Pine Bluff as well and has bulk water sales agreements with the community o
f White Hall and the Hardin Water Association.
The company has 13 wells, 388 miles of mains, and three water treatment facilities with a combined capacity of 20 million gallons per day. It said its Arkansas regulated operations represent less than two percent of the company's total regulated revenues.
"We have been serving the residents and businesses of the Pine Bluff community for nearly 20 years and we appreciate the trust our customers had in our ability to provide them with clean, safe and reliable drinking water," said United Water CEO Bertrand Camus said. "We're very confident that our customers will be in good hands when this transaction closes as Liberty Utilities Co. is an outstanding company that will serve Pine Bluff well."

Welcome to the Greifswald
Sister Cities Committee!
In February 2007, Newport News City Council affirmed Greifswald as its 3rd official Sister City. Greifswald is situated in the northeastern part of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, along the Baltic Sea. The town developed after Danish Cistercian monks settled there to build the Eldena Monastery in 1199; the ruins of which are immortalized through numerous sketches and paintings by the town's native son, Friedrich Kaspar David.
Greifswald is home to the Ernst Moritz Arndt University founded in 1456 - the second oldest university in Northern Europe. Today Greifswald University boasts approximately 12,000 students and is well know for its medical program, new university library. The town is also home to the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), named for father of the quantum physics, Max Planck who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1918.
In Greifswald the relationship is supported by the community's Friends of North America Club. You are encouraged to join Newport News' Greifswald Committee and help us foster this new relationship. The Committee organizes homestays for incoming delegates and exchanges to Greifswald.
Please consider joining!

Is Shadow Complex a nice Game?

Yes, it is.
I haven't touched it for some years since I finished it several times and reached the highest XP level. It plays like a quicker version of Metroid with less exploring and more action, or that's how I experienced it.

Do you know Jazz Jackrabbit? It was Epic's best classic game series which included two bestsellers.
Unfortunately, the third game in the series, which used to run on Unreal technology, was cancelled.

http://blogs.artcenter.edu/dottedline/2010/03/21/1081/I waited to post something because I got the news early this Sunday morning.
A sad and devastating day for all alumni and current students at ACCD. Norm was great guy, father, instructor but most of all...a good friend.
I was in disbelief(still in shock now) when I heard the news from a fellow alum who is very close to the situation. Norm inspired us over the years with his teaching and personality. I personally took 4-5 classes with him during my time at ACCD and so did many of my friends who also knew Norm. We all worked really hard, had fun and all of what I'd learned from him is still with me since I graduated 12 years ago.
I saw Norm last year and it was just like old times again.
I'm really going to miss the guy and I feel for his family. Nobody deserves something like this to happen.
UPDATE- Norm's funeral service will be held at ACCD at 10am this upcoming Sunday(March 28th) morning.

Awesome.Growing up and always being a Lakers fan, I HATED the Celtics. Not for any other reason besides them beating the Lakers in the 1984 Finals and the intense rivalry through the 80's. Great games, great players(so many HOF players), etc. I remember hating Larry Bird with a passion....and it was just because he was that damn good.
If you are a basketball fan, it's a must watch.

Here's some new work that I did last year for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. These are a few concept illustrations of 2 different things. The Gallery image below was to be for a high-end photo shoot with Mia Wasikowska when she was in LA last year.The image below was for another special shoot, but a live-action shoot with Mia Wasikowska.
Nothing ended up happening just because schedules couldn't be coordinated, but it was a blast working on Alice and having Tim Burton look at my work.

After the gaudy melodrama of fall -- a hundred thousand extravagantly colored death scenes attended by an equal number of gaping onlookers -- early winter is dull, almost boring by comparison. Temperatures tight rope around the freezing mark, snow falls, melts, then maybe flurries again, but few other indicators point to the coming months of winter. The world seems poised on a deep inhale, held like hope until the solstice announces the official birth of a new year.
But every season wears its own enchantment: some are simply more subtle than others. The soul of early winter, when the world segues from the brilliant colors of autumn to the equally brilliant whiteness of winter, is defined by ice.
The Amnicon River is shallow at this time of year, alternating between boulder-strewn rapids as quick and slim as a vixen's step and stretches of quiet water as still as a sleeping Labrador Retriever. The first appearance of ice is ephemeral: where the water meets land a few crystals needle outward, brittle and wafer thin, in places where the current is most sluggish. This ice is so unsubstantial that the merest hint of movement -- a ripple, a breeze, or a chance footstep -- will shatter the house of cards and send glassy shards sweeping down stream like so many handfuls of diamonds. At this time, early in the winter, the river water itself seems to thicken into something almost viscous, like congealing blood.
In stretches of faster water, exposed boulders create eddies within the current -- both upstream and down from the boulder -- wakes of still water that are the first to form tongues of ice as the river freezes. The surface of the river becomes a schematic, with ice marking the slowest, safest places and dark water shooting like a directional arrow to indicate the deepest channels. A whitewater canoeist or kayaker could map a sure route through any stretch of the river simply by following this fingerprint of ice. As the water splashes and sloshes around boulders, an ice sheath builds on these tongues and on the exposed surfaces of the boulders so that the river seems to deepen with the cold.
As the season advances, so does the ice. Still sections of the river, sloughs and backwaters are now sealed solid. At the first snow the older ice, as smooth as a mirror and yellow-brown from the tannins in the water, is covered by a dusting of white that is soon braided with the trails of small animals. Where the current runs stronger, open water runs choppy with standing waves, a black vein through the white flesh of the sleeping river. As the nights become colder, this vein narrows, the new ice freezing as rough as a scab. The wound of open water eventually heals, leaving a scar of ridges to mark the current's path. Soon, the only water that remains open is concentrated around the boulders, where the water level has risen so high that the boulders and their tongues are completely overwhelmed by a brown tumble of liquid ice.
Lakes freeze in a different manner: often the surface of a small lake can become entirely encased in ice in the course of a single, still night. The only lakes that remain open are lakes that are fed by active springs: the water that gushes from the earth invariably is warmer than the freezing point of water. A week ago I hiked through six inches of snow to a lake that had not a trace of ice on its surface: during the night the wind blew stiffly and the waves lapped the shore with the tinkling sound of crystal wind chimes.
Water is a strange substance: unlike almost all others, it is more dense as a liquid than a solid -- think of ice cubes floating in a glass of lemonade (a summer image almost impossible to summon this time of year). Most liquids congeal, grow smaller and more dense as they cool. If water behaved in that manner, ice would sink. Instead of the surface of a lake freezing, the upper part would remain liquid and ice would form from the bottom up. Of course, you can easily envision the problems that would develop: a lake's fish would be confined to a layer of water above the ice, a layer that would rapidly shrink as the temperature dropped. "Ice fishing" would become a simple matter of putting on waders and skidding one's catch across the watery surface of the ice. The fish that weren't harvested would be frozen on top of a layer of solid ice.
But we live in a world of magic, where something as simple and elemental as water can defy the laws of physics. Lakes freeze from the surface down, protecting fish in their watery world beneath. That's not to say that surface ice on lakes does not pose problems. Water expands as it freezes so as the winter temperatures fall and lakes freeze deeper, often the outer coat of ice isn't expansive enough to accommodate the increase bulk beneath it. The ice skin -- five, six, maybe even a dozen inches thick -- cracks apart from the pressure with a deep "boing" sound like the world's biggest rubber band stretched and plucked. By midwinter, the surface of the lake will be covered by a network of fissures, some so deep that they bleed liquid water no matter what the temperature.
Motion on the surface of a lake will delay or even prevent freezing even when water temperatures fall below the freezing point. Most of the north shore of Lake Superior never freezes, despite air temperatures that can drop to 30 or 40 degrees below zero.
Yesterday I walked along the south shore of Lake Superior. The wind, straight off the water, stole my breath, and waves broke a hundred feet out in open water to curl and crash against the frozen sand of the beach. Every piece of driftwood was encased in ice -- they looked more like light bulbs than sticks -- and horizontal limbs wore curtains of fist-thick stalactites that draped gracefully to the ground. As far as I walked along the beach it was the same: the shore was a lake of ice frozen not on the surface of the lake but beside it, as hard and unyielding as this season but as fabulously formed as hope.

REvlon Illuminance Creme Shadow
Leave it on the shelf
I tried using several of the palettes that are available, but the shadows just did not stay put. The colors might be very nice for a drugstore brand, but it reminds me of how far behind drugstore brands are when it comes to eyeshadow colors. I wish I could say that these were the best and that I loved them, but I would be lying. I really disliked how the shadow creased and then disappeared over time. Looking back, I wonder if I would have used a primer, if the shadow would have stayed put. Maybe if Revlon changed the formula, I might try it again. However, I rarely wear cream shadows now because these taught me a very important lesson. Cream shadows and my eyelids do not go together. I did give the product 3 stars because the company tried to put colors together that we sometimes see in even the most expensive palettes.

Best primer ever!!!!
I don't know how to say this but....I LOVE THIS!!!!! It gives me the best hold on my lashes after I've curled them! When used with other brands, it does live up to its name! It holds everything in place, even the mascara! I have had some primers that allow my mascara to run and cause raccoon eyes...not cute! If you don't want to spend money on Tarte cosmetics, I would recommend that this be the only thing you buy. You will see that this is by far the best of the eye lash primers out there. Give it a chance, you won't want to give it up after!
June 19, 2012
Doesn't quench anything!!!
The first time I used this I really liked it. As I kept using it, I felt like I was needing to use more lotion than I really wanted to. I didn't like the fragrance and ultimately, I stopped using it. It did nothing for my skin and allergies to fragrance (even the "light" fragrance was causing water induced eyes). Save your money and use something else!

Prescriptives Lash Envy Volumizing Mascara Duo
Plush lashes
This gives the most luscious lashes ever! I received this as a sample. I tried finding it after Prescriptives was pulled from the US market. Now I can find it online! If you really want those luscious lashes, go for this and don't worry about the price. You will love the way it separates your lashes and keeps them beautifully curled long after you've curled them!
June 18, 2012
Not a big fan
Really like MAC products, but don't like their mascaras. The mascaras seem too dry and they waste lots of product when you think it's dry. Save your money and keep searching just not in the MAC mascara section.
June 18, 2012
Just like the waterproof version, stick to the Double Extend tubes if you want the best L'Oreal mascara!
June 18, 2012
I wish I could say that I liked this, but I don't. The formula is really dry. Even for a waterproof mascara, the formula should not be that dry. It doesn't keep the curl in my lashes, even if I use an eyelash curler. If you want to try a L'Oreal mascara, try the lash tubes Double extend. It will make you want to stay with L'Oreal even if this one doesn't!
June 18, 2012
Thought this would be like the original double extend formula (the tubes), no in the least. It is a very different formula, yes I know it says waterproof. It does not give the same look as the double extend tubes! Really disappointed with this and won't be buying it again!
June 18, 2012
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara
Love it!!!
Wow!!! I really did not want to like this as the price is a bit high when it's not on sale! (Ulta usually has it for $10 once in a while!) This is one of the better mascaras! It holds the curl that my Shu Uemura eyelash curler has left. The only downside to this is that It runs a bit south. It does stay put when I use a primer with it! I accidently bent the brush when I was putting my mascara on it is actually the best thing that could have happened. I can reach my lashes even better now that the brush is bent! (Pay attention to the formula- once it is getting old, it starts to dry out and there are more clumps that you would care to brush out of your lashes!)
June 18, 2012
Max Factor 2000 Calorie Straight Brush Mascara
Oh how I miss you!
This was one of the first mascaras I was allowed to wear. I loved this when I could get my hands on it! Now it is nowhere to be found in the States! It gave me the best lashes! (Only 9 stars because I can't buy it anymore!)

Together they form a cycle of growth for all individuals.

And then there are these ideas.
I've tried to compile a list of the most frequently recurring bad ideas that I've heard in chapter rooms all over. I don't want to castigate those who have brought these ideas forward, because most were offered with earnestness. But that doesn't make them any less bad.
I believe it's time we actively seek to retire these ideas, phrases, notions, etc. We'll be a better Greek movement without them.
I would be interested to know if you have heard these in the same frequency, and if they cause you the same reaction. And here we go...
This is a common answer to member apathy, but when implemented, makes matters worse. Same with extensive fining systems. My 3-year-old has a points system in his preschool. I hope he doesn't have that same system when he's an 18-year-old college student. Start modeling adult organizational behavior. You won't find a professional workplace with a points system. If someone isn't meeting their obligations, hold them accountable through restitution, restrictions, and possibly, removal.
about you wait until his grades are good? Unless the sign outside your
house says
"Academic Advising Office," you probably shouldn't pretend that you can
any substantial difference for his grades. In my experience (and I'm
sure there are a few exceptions), fraternity can take average and above
students and make them even better. However, we are terrible at taking
poor and below average students and getting them to perform. When I've
been asked by chapters my advice for how to raise their chapter GPA, my
answer always is to recruit high performing students. If they already
have that ability, then you can do what fraternities do best: teach
leadership, instill values, perform service, etc.
Should have stopped after the second chance. Fraternity is a privilege. Yes, young adults can make mistakes. A couple bouts of idiocy can be explained and
forgiven. Beyond that, it's time to
acknowledge that we can still like the guy, but he shouldn't be a member.
Yes, when "help" means not trying to solve the problem. That's what rehab is for. Or counseling. Or any professional service that you do
not have the expertise or capacity to perform. As brothers and sisters, we play a key role in observing troubling behavior and identifying when to intervene. But, intervening means walking them to a center. Or picking up the phone. Get them to someone who can help them. That's what
sisterhood is for.
I can translate this one for you: "Let's build deep
divisions in our chapter!" Or, "Let's
put a big fat target on our fraternity!"
Or, "Let's start killing off this fraternity slowly by eroding trust and
motivation in our future members!" This one is probably the longest-running bad idea in the history of fraternity and sorority life. And the most damaging. And it doesn't become a better idea when adjectives are involved, such as "Let's haze the pledges...a little bit" or "Let's haze the pledges...lightly." Let's just not haze the pledges...at all.
I bet many will disagree with my take on this one. A sober sister program seems like a great way to
prevent against drunk driving. I think
it's a great way to reward thoughtlessness.
Fraternities and sororities should be the industry leaders in teaching
responsibility. If a group is going out
to drink, they should have thought through a way to get home safely. A sober sister program could bail out the idiots,
but it also encourages them. How about instead of a "program," we all just agree to call someone if we need them?
Or change it. Or don't do it at all. The Ritual - as provided to you by your inter/national organization - is not an Instagram photo that you can crop and filter. Cut and paste is not allowed. Your full and complete Ritual is the ONLY thing truly making you a member of your organization and truly making you a brother or sister with previous generations of members and others across the country. Seek to perfect its delivery, not tweak it to fit your own needs or so you can get initiation over in time for Duck Dynasty. Let's put it this way - if you change your Ritual, or simply don't do it, then I can claim to be as much a member of your organization as you are. So can my dog.
There you have it. Eight ideas that keep coming up, but should be retired. Help the fraternity movement by pushing back on these ideas if ever you hear them. I'll give you 25 points if that will help. Hurry up before your Co-President gets them!

Fifth Avenue traffic plan set for approval
9:24am Thursday 19th July 2012 in News By Mike Laycock, Chief reporter
EXTRA vehicles look set to be allowed along a York street to reach a major housing development despite residents' objections.
Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust wants to be abe to increase the amount of traffic going to and from the 540-home Derwenthorpe site through Fifth Avenue, Tang Hall , and City of York Council planning officers are recommending approval for their bid.
Officers say the road is relatively wide with grassed verges and houses set back behind front gardens, and the proposed extra traffic along the road is unlikely to lead to an adverse impact on residents' day-to-day living conditions.
"The impact on noise and disturbance is unlikely to cause significant additional harm to the living conditions of existing residents so as to warrant refusal," says a report to a planning committee meeting next week.
The Press has reported previously how the trust wants Fifth Avenue to be used for vehicles going to and from 277 properties, instead of 185 homes, as was originally proposed. But it will also reduce the number of homes reached through Osbaldwick Village from 105 to 64, and the number reached through the Meadlands estate from 125 dwellings to 74.
The Tang Hall Residents Association has opposed the changes, claiming the area was being made a "scapegoat" and the report to councillors says eight letters of objection have been received from Fifth Avenue residents.
They claimed the road already has traffic problems and the proposal would overburden it to appease Osbaldwick and Meadlands residents.
They said it was unfair for local residents to bear the brunt of traffic from Derwenthorpe, and also raised concerns about poor visibility at the Fifth Avenue/Tang Hall Lane junction.
Officers said an accident analysis of the past five years had shown there had been five accidents in Fifth Avenue, four of which occurred at the junction with Tang Hall Lane.
"The accident data does not identify any pattern nor indicate any specific type of accident which there would be the increased risk of potential for, should traffic levels increase as proposed," they said, adding that existing traffic calming would further improve safety and reduce the potential for speeding.

As has already been said, when any housing development is built it creates extra traffic - so what gives somebody the right to force a line to be drawn at a point comfortable to them?

How to Choose the Right Color of Corian Countertops for Your Kitchen or Bathroom
Sleek, non-porous, and endlessly versatile, Corian is a great countertop option for kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces where water and other liquids are used regularly. With more than 100 colors and patterns available, selecting a Corian slab may seem like a daunting task. If you know what factors to consider, however, you can use the plethora of color and style options to your advantage:
Consider Your Décor
When selecting countertop colors, you should consider the existing or planned décor elements in the room, and choose the color of your countertops based on this scheme. Unless an entirely new color scheme is one of your remodeling goals, countertops that match the current interior design will help contribute to the overall appearance of the space.
Think About Function
While you certainly want your Corian countertops to fit within a room's color scheme, you also want to be practical when making your decision. Think about the room's function, and choose colors and patterns that will be easy to manage and clean based on that function. For example, it may be wise to consider a uniformly colored slab for the kitchen because it will be easier to spot food remnants and liquid residue.
Create the Right Mood
Is there a specific ambience you are hoping to create in your kitchen or bathroom? If so, think about how your choice of color for the countertops may impact the space, and choose colors that foster rather than detract from the environment you are hoping to create.
Are you looking for a supplier of high-end Corian countertops that can help you carry out your kitchen or bathroom remodel? If so, EMG Home Supply INC. is here for you. To speak with an experienced member of our locally owned and operated remodeling team, call us today at (888) 423-9651.

Canadian musician Prosad is an eclectic and talented one man show. Best know for his sitar playing, he is also an masterful guitar player and soulful songwriter. Additionally, Prosad plays didgeridoo, percussion and Indian flute (often playing 2 or more instruments at one time). Performances include live looping, sitar, an upbeat fusion of world music with reggae overtones, as well as intimate acoustic songs that tell stories and carry political, environmental and spiritual messages. His unique style blends elements of acoustic/folk, reggae, roots and world music. You can hear many influences in his playing, ranging from Ravi Shankar and George Harrison to Harry Manx and Xavier Rudd.
Prosad has toured Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia performing in a music festivals (Prana, Luminate, Mariposa and others), concert halls, churches, and even a castle (Didjin'OZ festival in Italy). Prosad has played sitar for Prince Edward of the United Kingdom and been the featured soloist in an orchestral concerto. In 2011, he recorded with Australian artist Xavier Rudd on his new album, Spirit Bird. Prosad has also composed two songs for Hollywood films. One song (Byron Bay) was used in the blockbuster movie, "The Love Guru" with Mike Myers.
Prosad's first sitar teacher was Shambhu Das; Ravi Shankar's senior disciple and George Harrison's sitar teacher. Since then Prosad has studied sitar in Toronto and India and is currently studying Indian music with Alam Khan, son of the legendary Ali Akbar Khan Sahib.
Prosad has recorded four albums of original music and is currently working on a fifth which is a blend of styles mixing dub/reggae with sitar and guitar based songs. He divides his time between Canada and traveling the world performing.
For bookings, please email: email@example.com
Featuring: Jon Sanders
Featuring: Jeremy Cloake and Mat Ledgar
Prosad is an international musician, composer and well-known sitar player. He has toured Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia performing on a variety of instruments, including sitar, guitar, Indian flute and didgeridoo. Prosad is trained in Western music, having studied both jazz and classical guitar in Canada, yet over time he has gravitated toward the eastern traditions and has studied classical Indian sitar under the guidance of Indian music gurus. Prosad has added to his traditional studies by traveling extensively and integrating world instruments like bansuri and didgeridoo into his music.
Prosad writes and performs in a variety of styles ranging from acoustic/roots/reggae, to world fusion, to classical Indian ragas on sitar. He is constantly pushing the boundaries of his musical expression. Beyond live performance he also produces electronic music and mixes it with organic world instruments – his most notable achievement being "Trance Sitar," an album of down-tempo beats mixed with soulful and lyrical sitar playing. A versatile musician, Prosad builds bridges between East and West and between classical and mainstream traditions. He finds inspiration in ancient music and re-imagines it for modern times. His music is accessible to all, yet still calls the audience to reach for a higher spiritual ideal. His work on the sitar touches the transcendental and his playing evokes a feeling of peace, serenity, and an elevated state of being.
Prosad has had a wide ranging career with many highlights. He has played sitar for Prince Edward of the United Kingdom and been the featured soloist in the North American debut of "Legend of Sangeet," a concerto for sitar and orchestra. He has composed songs for two Hollywood films (including The Love Guru) and has also recorded with Australian artist Xavier Rudd on his new album, Spirit Bird. Recently, he has spent most of his time touring and performing in Australasia, especially in New Zealand, performing and collaborating with many great New Zealand artists including: Irish folk great Jon Sanders, Yidaki Master Jeremy Cloake and reggae greats Newtown Rocksteady.
Prosad's first learned sitar from Shambhu Das. Shambhu-ji was Ravi Shankar's senior disciple and also taught sitar to George Harrison when the Beatles were in India. Since then, Prosad has studied sitar in Toronto and India and is currently studying Indian music with Alam Khan, son of the legendary Ali Akbar Khan Sahib. Prosad has recorded four albums of original music, mixing western and eastern instruments. He divides his time between Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 Israel Road S.W., P.O. Box 42650, Olympia, WA 98504-2650, (360) 902-8500 Don Hoch, Director
Kelly Punteney appointed to serve on Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission
OLYMPIA – Jun. 10, 2011 – Gov. Christine O. Gregoire has appointed L. Kelly Punteney, a well-known Vancouver-area trail advocate and park development professional, to serve on the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, beginning immediately. Punteney, 63, has more than 40 years of experience in urban and landscape planning and design and served the City of Vancouver for 36 years in parks and recreation, cultural program management and managing the city's trails and greenways department. For six years, he also served as Assistant to the Vancouver City Manager. He currently works in the private sector as a consultant, developer and project manager. The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission sets policy for the Washington State Parks and Recreation agency, which manages a diverse system of 118 parks, including long-distance land and water trails and statewide programs such as winter recreation and boating safety. The Commission is comprised of seven citizen volunteers. They hire a director to oversee the agency's operating and capital programs. The Commission has public meetings six times a year at predetermined locations around the state. Punteney is well-known for his part in developing popular recreational trails around the Vancouver-Clark County area. He also is a familiar face in statewide recreational trail circles. In 2007, he was awarded the Portland Bicycle Transportation Alliance's Alice B. Toeclips Award for his work connecting Vancouver and Portland trails. His accomplishments include development of the Discovery Loop Trail (2.3 miles), Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway and Trail (8 miles) and Frenchman's Bar Trail (2.5 miles) and the award-winning 12-mile Waterfront Renaissance Trail connecting downtown Vancouver to the Columbia River waterfront. He has served for the past two years on the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and has been construction manager on a number of large community park development projects. "Over the years, Southwest Washington has been under-represented on the State Parks Commission, so it's an honor to be appointed to represent this part of the state, guided by new director Don Hoch, for whom I have great respect," said Punteney. "Washington has one of the most diverse and beautiful state park systems in the country, with a wealth of natural, cultural and historic resources that are well deserving of the public's support, especially as we prepare for the 2013 State Parks Centennial." Punteney replaces outgoing Commissioner Cecilia Vogt of Yakima, who served on the Commission for 12 years. The next regular meeting of the commission is scheduled for Aug. 11, in Wenatchee.

Friends and colleagues who know Lee McClellan, the York police officer seriously injured two weeks ago when a boat fell on him, plan to use barbecue, baked beans, bank funds and bow hunting to help curb the impact of medical bills just in time for Christmas.
Ever since the accident, support from the community has been nonstop.
Two days after McClellan was hospitalized, York Police set up a bank account at South Carolina Bank and Trust, while creating a donation page on Rally.org.
On Saturday, the community will hold a fundraiser at the Fraternal Order of Police building on West Main Street in Rock Hill, offering donors plates of barbecue, baked beans, potato salad and rolls for $7.
On Dec. 22, Rock Hills Southern Draw Archery Club and Robin Hood Archery range on Homestead Road will let people pay at least $10 to shoot 3D structures shaped like wild animals in a tournament.
You dont have to be around Lee long to realize what kind of person he is, said Doug Williams, co-owner and operator of the Southern Draw Archery Club, where McClellan shopped frequently. The thought came to a lot of us: How can we help? What can we do? Being out of work, with medical bills, theres going to be a need there.
Not only will the tournament raise money for the family, but so will a simultaneous silent auction, which has already attracted local businesses to become sponsors or donate items and services.
All these fundraisers have something in common: Every cent raised goes to the McClellan family.
Its just been overwhelming, Lee McClellans father, Dale, said about the amount of community support he and his family have received since the accident. It makes me feel so humble.

You might not be surprised to learn that I tend to go through phases when it comes to exercising regularly. And, well…let's just say I can't remember the last time I exercised…and I couldn't tell you the next time I'm going to either. I could probably say that this "rut" is due to my new job, but it's not. The truth is that I just don't feel like exercising, so I'm not going to. That's just what works for me, I suppose.
But, when exercise isn't a part of my normal routine – and stress / lack of sleep / doughnuts are – I do like to try to fill my health tank in other ways. Enter: massive amounts of vegetables.
While I try to be one of those people who sneaks veggies into every meal, that's usually not the case. Instead, I tend to load up on bang-for-your-buck veggie meals: be it ginormous salads, or something like Tuesday night's dinner.
"5-a-day" vegetable stir fry.
This veggie stir fry is key for me when it comes to getting a ton of veggies into my day while still having a delicious and filling meal. The vegetable base I used can easily be switched up, but I love the colors and textures that this combination yielded.
FYI – I'm pretty sure that this has more than 5 servings…and that the daily recommended servings of vegetables has increased…but "5-a-day" just had such a ring to it
- 1 large carrot
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 cup broccoli
- 1/2 cup snap peas
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 tablespoons Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce) **
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
** A friend recently introduced me to Liquid Aminos seasoning, which tastes almost exactly like soy sauce but with barely any sodium. Weird name, great flavor. I found it at Whole Foods.
directions: Cut/slice the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Put canola oil in a large stove-top pan and turn to medium heat. Add vegetables to the pan (except for the spinach) and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables reach desired softness. You could also put a cover on the pan for the last few minutes to speed up the cooking process.
When the vegetables are cooked, turn off the heat and mix in the spinach. Then add the Liquid Aminos. Top with sunflower seeds.
Next time I might throw some chicken breast in the mix, but the veggies could absolutely stand on their own. Or, in this particular case, with a side of peanut butter hummus.
Health tank = refilled. And then some.
Do you eat vegetables with every meal?
You have until 8pm est to enter my birthday giveaway!

Word of warning to those in other countries...even though Amazon mentions this is a "Region 0" (playable worldwide) DVD, unless you have a PAL DVD player, it won't work. Until the NTSC version comes out, I'm stuck with my old worn out video tape.
The album opens with the blistering "Black Nite Crash", which sounds like "Raw Power-era" Stooges with better vocals and production! BNC is undoubtedly one of the best lyrics Andy Bell ever penned. To a hyped-up beat he sings..."Walk around like I'm lookin' for an upgrade/Slippin' through town like a penny in the arcade." It's a pity that Ride didn't recognize that their music could *grow* in this direction. Tarantula should have been a new launching pad, not a swan song.
"Sunshine/Nowhere To Run" is another standout track which shows a band finding maturity in restraint. Years earlier, Ride would have overdone such a pretty song with elaborate production. Here, the success lies in the understatement. Other standouts include the Byrdsy "Walk On Water", "Castle On The Hill", "Dead Man" and "Burnin'". All of these songs demonstrate that by 1995, Ride had become a band capable of much more than guitar noise. Unfortunately, critics and many fans ripped Tarantula, disappointed that Ride had not gone back to the early wall-of-sound guitars that were the hallmark of Nowhere and Going Blank Again.
As Ride releases their career-retrospective box set, it is worth noting that the band is more popular now than during their active years. Perhaps the time is right for a new Ride, one where the band can build on the strengths of this album.
OX4, the greatest hits disc, captures most of Ride's best moments. From 'Like A Daydream' to 'Black Nite Crash', it's all here including all the singles. Unfortunately, some of Ride's best songs were not singles and were left off the compilation. 'Cool Your Boots' is the best example, sadly ignored in favor of the monotone Creation cover 'How Does It Feel To Feel?'.
Firing Blanks, the disc of unreleased material, serves up a quite a few gems. 'Blue' and 'Everybody Knows', written by drummer Loz Colbert are excellent songs, the former even featuring Loz on vocals! 'She's So Fine', which later appeared in different form on Tarantula as Sunshine/Nowhere To Run, is an outstanding track that should've made the cut on Carnival of Light. Velvet Underground's 'New Age' is also covered here and Ride turns in a solid performance but Andy Bell's vocal suffers from the near absence of backing vocals. 'Tongue Tied' is the standout track here, and was dropped from Going Blank Again because record execs thought the album was too long. Overall, there is some outstanding material here and it is an excellent addition to the Ride library, but I'm sure there is some very strong material that remains unreleased.
The live disc, recorded at the 1992 Reading Festival is a good document of Ride as a live band. Ride were nothing short of lethal on stage and quite possibly the best live rock band, bar none, from 1991-1993. Many of the classic live songs show well here. 'Leave Them All Behind', 'Taste' and 'Seagull' in particular are excellent versions. As a collector of live music from Ride, I think the band could've chosen a better live set, perhaps from the 1993 Daytripper shows, which had Ride truly at peak form. Two songs were dropped from the Reading performance; John Lennon's 'I Don't Want To Be A Soldier' and 'Making Judy Smile'. The former was released on a Sire Records compilation in the mid-90s, but it is curious that 'Making Judy Smile' didn't make the cut. Overall, this collection is one that no music fan should be without. One of the best bands of their era, Ride deserves more recognition as an important and innovative band. Hopefully, the interest surrounding the release of this box set will lead to a second, live box set or possibly a new Ride collaboration. There is certainly enough material to put together an incredible album of covers. 'Eight Miles High', 'European Son', 'The Model', 'Sight Of You', and 'That Man' are all worthy of release.
Let's hope this is not the last Ride.

A Deer perhaps. On the subject of deer, we have spotted a doe and her twin fawns. They haven't come very far into the yard yet, but when they find out about the bird food I hope they come closer.
Maybe a Baltimore Oriel. We have seen both male and female for the first time since we moved here...eleven years ago.
Or if you are lucky, this rare creature. The Red Headed Boy.
Blue Jays are common to the feeders this year. And every other year before and most likely every year after this.
And the ever peasant Squirrel. See how he makes good time consuming the seeds in the squirrel proof feeder.
Then there is moms favorite. The Rose Breasted Grosbeak. The picture is of a female, only the males have the rose breast.
We have seen more species like and not limited to, goldfinches, tufted tit mouse, junco, woodpeckers, chipmunks, sparrows...etc.
So what is eating your bird food?

By Jason Hensel February 27, 2012
Transparency was the flavor-of-the-month a few years ago until it got pushed out of the way by concepts like collaboration and innovation. Even though executives may not care as much about transparency, it's still important to lower-level employees.
In fact, many employees feel their organization's workplace practices are ineffective—an assertion supported by 44 percent of a recent Fierce Inc. survey of more than 800 corporate executives, employees and educators across a wide variety of industries. Respondents claim that their company's best practices actually hinder employee productivity and morale. Another 47 percent reported that their organization's current practices consistently get in the way of desired results, rather than optimize the overall success of the business—a primary function that a company's best practices are meant to fulfill.
While these practices are established with the best intentions, it's clear that most are missing the mark when it comes to supporting the needs of their workforce. When asked which practices hold their organization back, nearly 50 percent of respondents identified a lack of company-wide transparency and too little involvement in company decisions as key areas of concern. In addition, nearly half of survey respondents identified the most beneficial practices as those that encouraged accountability, development and individual empowerment within the organization. It's clear that in order to implement practices that are beneficial to the individual—as well as the organization as a whole—companies must foster an environment where individual efficacy is encouraged and where communication is both elicited and valued.
While the survey supports the notion that today's employees are seeking transparency within their organization, it doesn't stop there. The results also indicate a widespread desire for businesses to elicit diverse opinions from all members of the organization around which company practices need to be modified or adjusted, such as:
"These widely accepted practices are not only ineffective, they are costing our companies billions of dollars, driving away our most valuable employees and customers, limiting performance and stalling careers," said Halley Bock, CEO of Fierce Inc. "This survey should encourage managers to question the practices in place and actively engage their staff in creating new policies that are geared more toward transparency and employee empowerment."
Does your company promote transparency? How are employees empowered at your workplace? Please let us know in the comments.

The small intestine contains multiple receptors and transporters for simple sugars. These receptors both sense the nutrient content of an ingested meal and mediate the direct transport of the sugars.
Interest in the function of intestinal sugar receptors and transporters has been heightened recently by the remarkable results seen with gastric bypass surgery. Many morbidly obese patients treated with gastric bypass surgery see a rapid resolution of their Type II diabetes, even before significant weight loss has occurred. It is thought that the surgery bypasses critical receptors in the small intestine, dramatically altering the body´s hormonal response to ingested food.
Avaxia is developing oral antibodies to modulate sugar transporters and receptors in the small intestine. The goal of this program is to modulate the response to ingested sugars, potentially achieving some of the benefits seen in gastric bypass surgery. Such antibodies would be expected to be effective in the treatment of obesity and Type II diabetes.

Super-Portable Asphalt Plants Are a Perfect Fit for RED HORSE Squadron
Two new Terex E225P plants positioned at Nevada and Guam Air Force bases
Related Content
Related Terms
Highly mobile. Self-sustaining. Ready for deployment. These are the hallmarks of the RED HORSE (Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operations Repair Squadron Engineer) Squadrons (RHS) of the U.S. Air Force. The same could also be said for the two new Terex E225P counterflow drum mix plants recently purchased for the 820th and 554th RHS units, making them a perfect match for this branch of the Air Force.
At a moment's notice, the four active-duty and 15 Guard Reserve RHS units can be deployed to assist with combat efforts in hostile environments. The mission of these self-sustaining squadrons is to provide the Air Force a highly mobile civil engineering response force. During combat operations, it is the RHS that constructs new infrastructure and performs heavy damage repair of infrastructure in order to carry out a successful mission. When not abroad on active duty, these units construct and maintain the infrastructure at the home base.
The work for members of this engineering force is personal, and the projects they complete can mean the difference between life and death. Sgt. Dennis Hagglund, asphalt plant subject matter expert and equipment operator for the 820th RHS based in Las Vegas, NV, recalls one airport construction project in Afghanistan that holds special meaning.
Prior to the 820th RHS constructing an 8,600-foot-long runway in a remote part of Afghanistan, critically wounded would first have to be evacuated to Bagram Air Field by helicopter before being transported to Ramstein Air Base, which delayed medical attention. "We constructed the ramps, taxiways and runway with our own equipment, so that the C17s could land to evacuate wounded directly to Ramstein," says Sgt. Hagglund. "It was definitely worth the blood, sweat and tears."
When the unit says self-sustaining, they mean it. They have the equipment, personnel and expertise to do anything from blasting and excavation to material production and paving. With regards to its asphalt operations, these units will blast and crush the aggregate, develop and produce the required mix design for a road or runway, and compact the asphalt mat.
Given time, these units will clear an impassable jungle and construct a passable road network, if that's the mission. In order to accomplish these assignments, they must have the right equipment at their disposal.
The right plant
For making asphalt mix and training other squadrons on plant operation, the 820th RHS had, until recently, an outdated mid-1980s vintage asphalt plant. Its sister unit, the 554th stationed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, had no asphalt plant but was embarking on a new infrastructure project at Northwest Field. It was time for a change, so both squadrons had at their disposal flexible and mobile asphalt plants equipped with the latest technology.
This year, they took possession of and installed two new Terex E225P super-portable asphalt plants from Terex Roadbuilding. "Both plants are configured nearly identical with the exception of the control house on the plant for the 820th," says Mike Rodriguez, district manager for Terex Roadbuilding. The plant at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas will serve as a training center in addition to producing asphalt, so it has a specially built, larger control house to accommodate training classes.
Sgt. Hagglund is one of the officers in charge of training members of other RHS units on how to operate the plant. "We typically have 14 students per class and hold four classes per year," he says. "We review the plant's components and calibrations and cover mix design production." The goal is to have each student familiar with plant operation, so they can make mix in the field.
Some of the people trained to operate the E225P plant in Nevada were from the 554th RHS. Their education is scheduled to be put to use to make asphalt for the roads leading from the base to a regional training center at Northwest Field. "The new Terex plant will support a 10-mile, $727,000 Pacific Regional Training Center (PRTC) road project," says SSgt Matthew Belmer, U. S. Air Force.

Special to The Palm Beach Post
Florida State practices the two-minute offense every Thursday as a situation that may be necessary on Saturdays.
And the hurry-up offense was effective in the win over Virginia Tech last week, as the Seminoles scored a touchdown on a 71-yard drive in the closing minute of the first half and then defeated the Hokies 28-22 with a 68-yard drive that ended with an EJ Manuel touchdown pass to Rashad Greene in the final minute.
"The fast tempo offense always works," Manuel said. "Every time coach (Jimbo) Fisher has implemented it during a game, it's worked for us. We just go right down the field, hit four or five passing plays and then come back with a run and get positive yards all the time.
"A defense can't prepare for it. It's really hard for them to get subs in and for the coaches on the sideline to get the calls in. Sometimes those guys line up really not knowing what to do."
Manuel said that he finds it's easy to get into a rhythm as a passer, comparing the faster pace to that of a 3-point shooting contest in basketball. FSU (9-1, 6-1 ACC) has had so much success with the two-minute offense that it could be used more down the road.
One drawback, however, is that while the drives often produce quick points it also means the defense will only get a short amount of rest between drives. For now, Fisher prefers to use it in the right situations – like at the end of a half – as opposed to making it a more significant part of the overall offensive game plan.
"It depends on who your opponent is," Fisher said.
INJURY UPDATE: Senior tailback Chris Thompson had surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee, Fisher said. "There were no other problems with the knee," Fisher said. "They expect a full recovery in normal time."
Thompson played in just five games in 2011 before breaking two vertebrae in the loss to Wake Forest. And this season he played in eight games before hurting his knee in the win over Miami.
While not technically eligible for a medical redshirt because he played in the fifth game of each season, Fisher said FSU plans to appeal to the NCAA on Thompson's behalf based on the fact that he will have missed more than a season's worth of games over the past two years. "All they can say is no," Fisher said.

Knicks' Felton Suffers Bone Bruise in Hand
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On December 3, 2012 @ 6:54 am In All,Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments
Raymond Felton left the locker room on Sunday fearing he may have broken his nonshooting left hand. However, an MRI revealed only a bone bruise.
The Knicks are listing the veteran point guard as day-to-day. Of course, Amar'e Stoudemire's knee injury was originally called a bone bruise and he, too, was listed as day-to-day.
Felton suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 106-99 victory over the Suns when he jammed his hand as he dribbled past two defenders. The injury appears to be closer to his left thumb.
"It's swollen right now," Felton said. "It's a lot of pain, but we'll see what happens."

Memphis @ Proctors, 4/17/12

by Michael Eck
SCHENECTADY – David Bryan is from New Jersey. Considering he came to fame as the leonine keyboardist with 80's hitmakers Bon Jovi, he'd better be. Joe DePietro hails from the Garden State as well, and perhaps that explains why the music in "Memphis" has so little to do with the actual sound of the River City in the 1950s.
DiPietro wrote the book for the show, now onstage at Proctors, and Bryan wrote the score, with both contributing lyrics.
The show's lack of real R&B roots didn't stop it from winning three 2010 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical, so they must have done something right. And the production at Proctors does lots right, too, especially in the casting of Bryan Fenkart, Felicia Boswell and Quentin Earl Darrington.
- Performance reviewed: 8 p.m. Tuesday.
- Where: Proctors, 432 State Street, Schenectady
- Running time: 150 minutes; one intermission
- Continues: 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday; 2 p.m. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
- Tickets: $20-$70

People are allowed free access to enjoy family-friendly movies which are projected onto a giant inflatable screen named Maximus, which is placed into the zero feet entry, otherwise known as a beach access, of Archer Park's pool.
"Everything is by us," Superintendent of Recreation Richard Krauss said. "We have our staff go out and set up everything in the park."
It has been ten years since "Movies in the Park" first started. It has grown popular and expanded from having 300 people come to having anywhere from 600 to 800 attend.
"We used to show the movies on a big sheet, and then we got the big inflatable screen, so it's nice to see how much bigger and more professional we have gotten," Krauss said.
A license fee for approval is bought with the help of sponsor Time Warner Cable, from Swank Motion Pictures, a company who provides the movies.
The list of movies and dates are as follows: The Muppets on June 2, Cars 2 on June 9, Reel Steel on June 16, Puss in Boots on June 23, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer on June 30, Adventures of Tin Tin on July 7, Happy Feet 2 on July 14, Dolphin Tale on July 21, Tangled on July 28 and Captain America on August 4.
"We are given a list of movies to choose from and we take a democratic vote as a staff and pick the best ones," Krauss said.
After movies are chosen, McAllen Parks and Recreation put each movie through a process to have them ready for family viewing.
"We understand a lot of families come so we screen every movie and edit them to make sure they are appropriate," Krauss said.
Along with movies, McAllen Parks and Recreation also provide hands on activities such as face paintings, moon jumps, and giveaways. Concession stands are also available to the public.
