Voters on Tuesday in Cherokee and the nine other counties in the metro Atlanta region will consider imposing a 1 percent sales tax upon the region to fund transportation projects over the next 10 years.
In Cherokee, while the majority of those who've gone public are against the measure, Woodstock Mayor Donnie Henriques and Cherokee County Chairman Buzz Ahrens noted they weren't surprised at the backlash the proposal is receiving.
Ahrens, who is in support of the plan, did add he was disappointed the debate has turned negative.
"When people fuel the flames, it's really hard to put them out," he said, adding he's had more success in communicating with people one on one rather than in larger groups.
Local leaders who were once in support of the proposal have come out against it, including Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock), State Rep. Sean Jerguson (R-Holly Springs) and Holly Springs Mayor Tim Downing.
Along with Ahrens, Downing was a member of the Atlanta Regional Roundtable made up of 21 elected officials, including the commission chairman and a mayor from each of the 10 metro Atlanta counties as well as the mayor of Atlanta, which compiled the list of projects.
The tax is expected to generate around $8 billion over the next decade in the region.
Projects in Cherokee County are the widening of Highway 140/Hickory Flat Highway between I-575 and the Fulton County line and replacing the bridge on Bells Ferry Road over Lake Allatoona. Highway 140 will be widened from two to four lanes and the project will cost $190 million.
The bridge project is expected to cost about $7 million.
About $279 million of the tax is expected to be generated in Cherokee and $268.5 million of that will remain in the county.
Of that $268.5 million, the county will keep 15 percent, or $71.5 million, and divide 15 percent of that among its six cities.
With the 15 percent, the county plans to use the money to make smaller bridge repairs, road and intersection improvements, and adding sidewalks.
Henriques, who is a member of the ARC's board, said that while none of the projects in Cherokee directly affects Woodstock, the replacement bridge over the lake impacts the entire county.
The Cherokee County School District now re-routes its buses to take Interstate 575.
"That impacts all taxpayers because, if it's replaced, it'll save in fuel costs the school system has to spend to send the buses around to 575," he said.
Along with local elected officials, local residents have also expressed opposition to the proposal.
The Cherokee Tea Party Patriots and the Canton Tea Party Patriots have actively campaigned against the measure's passage, alleging the bill is nothing short of a "MARTA bailout."
Ahrens said the bill does not "bail out" MARTA, and disputed other arguments against measure, which he said are false.
He noted other false arguments include opponents believing another layer of government will be created and it doesn't do enough for traffic congestion.
"If you add 20 years to today with no improvements, what do you get?" He asked. "You've got gridlock."
He noted "substantial" improvements in congestion will occur in many areas throughout the region, including the infamous gridlocked Interstate 285 interchange with Georgia 400.
"It's a very hollow statement in my view because they haven't looked at it in the order of magnitude of the improvements," he added, referring to T-SPLOST opponents.
Duluth resident Billy Wise of TrafficTruth.net, an organization that's rallied against imposing the tax, said the way the T-SPLOST measure is set up is "wasteful."
He noted the Transportation Investment Act of 2010 alludes to providing relief of traffic congestion across the state as misleading.
"I don't think there's any congestion in Plains, Georgia," he said in a joking manner.
Wise said the tax will have "zero impact" on congestion and noted those who are in support of the plan just want to "build big things" such as more rail and roads.
Those things, he added, are the wrong way of solving the problem.
Wise said he would promote the idea of "stretching" the rush hour to allow commuters to come and leave work at later hours.
He also said he'd propose promoting telecommuting and encouraging local entrepreneurs to consider relocating to economic development centers outside of Atlanta proper.
He also floated the idea of implementing the use of tolls, which he said is "a perfect solution to transportation" as users pay for the access.
Both local leaders say if the TSPLOST proposal fails in Cherokee and across the region, the impact won't be felt directly or immediately.
Ahrens said things will go on like "business as usual" among county leaders and the county will continue using its Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, or SPLOST, funds for designated projects.
"It doesn't change anything we are doing," he said. "It will hurt us indirectly because it will keep businesses out of metro Atlanta."
Henriques echoed Ahrens' sentiments.
The noted he also believed the measure's failure could impact commuters who work in Atlanta on where they decide to buy their next home.
"It stands to reason to me that if we don't have a better way of getting people to and from their offices, at least in the planning stages, we're going to suffer in the long run," he said

Marvellous MacKenzie
7 January 2005
Here at the Kids Zoo we have one little kid that stands out from the rest... in more ways than one! Not only does he usually choose to 'stand apart' from the crowd, but his fantastic hairstyle (or should that be 'furstyle'?) is one that many of the guests who come to the Zoo become jealous of! This fellow is MacKenzie, a lovely little Angora goat kid. The Angora is unique amongst most other goat breeds, as it is bred for its beautiful curly wool, known as 'mohair' (quite different from 'angora wool', which actually comes from a type of rabbit!). Mohair comes in either flat wavy locks, or very tight little ringlets, but either way, a goat covered in a magnificent set of shiny white curls is certainly a sight to behold. Naturally, such a hairdo means that MacKenzie needs a bit more grooming than our other animals. To keep him looking lovely, he receives regular baths, brushings and blow-dries, and we even use a type of shampoo that's used on show dogs and horses! But aside from his awesome curls, it's MacKenzie's personality that really makes him different. Since the day he arrived, he's always been a bit of a 'shy boy', preferring to hang at the back of the pen and wait patiently for his food or his bottle, rather than pushing and shoving up the front with the other billy kids. He loves to play 'catch me if you can', making us keepers run around in circles to get him when we need to take him out of his pen… but when we pick him up, he instantly melts into our arms, leaning in for a big snuggle! So even though he seems very aloof to most visitors, we know he's a big softie at heart, going as far as letting us hold him on his back and cradle him like a baby. We're sure you'll pause to have a look at MacKenzie whenever you come by Kids Zoo, he's simply a kid that can't be missed! Barbara

Washington, DC Tuesday, March 5, 2013
Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) chaired a hearing of the Armed Services Committee on the defense authorization request for FY2014.
Specifically, Chair Levin heard an assessment of the request from Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis, commander of the U.S. Central Command, and Adm. William H. McRaven, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command.
Later today in the House, the Rules Committee will take up a continuing resolution that funds the Defense Department and the Department of Veteran Affairs for the next year. The act would give the Defense Dept. some flexibility in managing automatic spending cuts required under the sequester that went into law last week.

In my work as a hospital chaplain, I am often privileged to accompany people in the last days of their lives or the lives of their loved ones. I recently spent a long night with Mark, a middle-aged man who had camped out in the waiting room outside his mother's hospital room. The doctors had withdrawn artificial forms of life support and she was expected to pass away within hours.
AJWS supports more than 500 grassroots organizations in Africa, Asia and the Americas that promote the rights of women, girls and LGBT people; rebuild societies torn apart by war and natural disasters; and seek to secure access to food, land and water. In the United States, we mobilize our supporters to advocate for U.S. policies that help create a just and equitable world. We are inspired by Judaism's commitment to pursue justice and repair the world, and we believe that Jewish history teaches us to respect and fight for the rights of others. Read more or donate.

I'm doing a new animated film in black and white. My opening scene has a nice multiplane zoom in it, and I've been having trouble animating some slow, billowing smoke from a smokestack on the horizon.
Anyone had any experience doing this? I'd like to keep a hand drawn look if at all possible, but my animator's brain tells me that I'm in for just a lot of hard work animating slowly billowing black smoke. This example is a single line, distorted using the fx stack / Optical Flow effect.
I'd rather not get into using computer / particle effects if at all possible.

Selaginella (5.8) offers liebacks, face climbing, off-width chimney climbing, and good ol' crack climbing. The route is sustained and committing and a real challenge for a 5.8 leader. P1 - There are 2 potential starts, but the right side is cleaner and more aesthetic. The first pitch is 165' and ascends a series of hand cracks, fist cracks, and off-width cracks. Belay at the stump or continue left and up to the rap station. P2 - Work your way up using your off-width and chimney skills to a belay about 120' up. Be sure to move left at the ramp! P3 - Some more awkward climbing leads to a shelf about 110' up on a ledge. P4 - For the final pitch you'll need an arsenal of skills; including hand cracks, fist cracks, liebacks, and face climbing.
The route starts on the upper ledge above Munginella. Climb any of the lower climbs (Munginella 5.6, Commitment 5.9, The Surprise 5.10a, The Caverns 5.8, Try Again Ledge 5.8, or the Hanging Teeth 5.8). An alternate approach involves skipping the approach climbs by hiking the streambed west of the base using 3rd & 4th Class slabs. For the descent of Selaginella, jump into the stream of tourists working their way down the Yosemite Falls trail.
1 or 2 sets of nuts and cams up to 5". Bring lots of long slings.
3-pitch description: P1: Climb 160' to large, sandy ledge. Full value at 5.8. P2: Continue more or less straight up, staying right of a prominent leaning pillar. The final 20' of climbing involves a wild and exposed traverse left across protruding crystals. 200'. Belay in a small alcove. P3: A few tricky moves off the belay, followed by moderate climbing to a large, prominent flake. Roughly 150'. From the top, walk approximately 100 yards uphill to join the Yosemite Falls Trail. Allow a good hour of walking back to Camp 4. Note: we felt a single 4" piece to be more than adequate protection.
The rest of us will bring additional, smaller gear.
"Note: we felt a single 4" piece to be more than adequate protection." That should read "UP TO a single 4" piece..."
Great day of climbing from Commitment to Selaginella! The offwidth sections of Salaginella reminded me why we didn't spend the day on Kor Beck-What a workout. The exposed traverse is fantastic. Supertopo mislabeled the right-facing flake (as left-facing) at the top of the third pitch after the traverse so don't get confused or concerned that you're in the wrong place. We used the whole rack from 4" down to 00 metolius.
Wally Reed 1963. Enough said - get on it!
1st pitch was amazing. I did the awkward 5.9 variation to start it. I felt the entire route had a off width feel to it and worked my partner and I. I'd rate everything at the books much higher if it were cleaner and didn't have ants on about every pitch.
For at least the first pitch, and maybe the 3rd also, I would recommend wearing the rack (if using a gear sling) on the left side of your body. There is a fair bit of grinding on the right side that takes place and it was pretty uncomfortable and annoying having my gear in the way.
Climbed this route on 4/7/12. This was a great intro to long offwidth routes as I've traditionally shied away. Pitch 1 is the most strenuous, though every wide section is soon met with rests. We brought a #5 camelot, placed it once but IMHO it wasn't really needed. One #4 should do the trick. Pitch 2 has a short bit of off fists, but it's over after 20 feet. The pitch 3 chimney protects well and has hands in the back. I also made the pitch 3 traverse way harder than it needs to be by climbing way to high. Stay low, using the crystals and hand holds. There's a new bolt, which set back farther back. Use long runners to avoid drag. Overall, it wasn't the most epic climb I've done, but I'm glad I did it as it opens the skillset to those mandatory OW pitches that come with most valley classics.
have climbed this route several times, including twice in the middle of february (2006 and 2013): dry, no lines, no crowds, led all pitches... p1 (right var.): felt burly this time around. i'd say it's sustained, physical 5.8 - must be old, fat, and out of shape. awesome fat hands, with some OW, and a bit of awkwardness thrown in. nice break a little over half way up. #2 camalots rock, no need for a #4. p2: straight up for about 60 feet or so, then step out to the left (nice big step) and angle up the ramp toward the trees. i've previously done the corner variation (under the trees and ear shaped flake), but opted to go straight up past the large triangular flake and then traverse back to the corner at the base of the chimney (sm. stance for belay). this pitch is definitely easier than the first, but less straightforward and has some potential route finding issues for the uninitiated. p3: up the chimney (5.7-5.8), then up easy ground, underneath a big block/flake to the bolt and pin. the traverse out left is actually technically quite easy, there are big holds for your hands (don't go to high). rope drag can be a huge problem here, especially if you didn't put some long runners on gear placed the last 20'to 30' before the bolt. the traverse puts you on a cheese grater ledge with a couple of options. i've always gone straight up the middle at the rail and sm. flakes, rather than the burly/fat crack to the left. however, beware, falling here means decking. there's a good belay at the sm. tree about 20' up. p4: go up the crack/shallow corner past a jutting flake (bottom broken off). i thought this was the crux and could easily be called 5.9 in many places. after this section trend up and left, passing a couple short corners (also 5.8). finally, a big traverse to the left and the base of a huge free standing flake. it's possible to wiggle inside or lieback the flake. having done both, i'd have to say the lieback is more pleasing, but also less forgiving if things go wrong. in either case i found this part rather easy (in comparison to the rest of the route). overall: this is a pretty stout climb for 5.8; i carried a full rack with doubles up to a #3 camalot, one #3.5 and one #4. i placed the #4 once and the # 3.5 a couple of times. did not place any nuts...
Climbed this a few days ago and there was a VERY LOOSE block halfway up the first pitch. It is about 1' in height and as deep and wide as the crack. One would instinctively grab the jug as there are no convenient jams. We weren't sure how to safely extract the block so be very careful, especially with the two recent deaths on El Cap due to rock fall, this should be taken care of.
Only time I used the 4" piece was at the second belay anchor, and that was only because I had to build around someone else's anchor, so I think gear up to 3" would suffice

Hello everyone,
been too busy to visit recently ..family wedding and so on. Too much has happened on Chatter and Challenge wise for me to catch up on it all.
those who teach shall also learn and those who learn shall also teach - Peter Laslett
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Fred, your crude sculptures are great and the lovely warm glow in the cave looks so inviting. I can see why you would want to explore in that particular cave.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Fred, Another great adventure for Benny and Ruthie. Love those rocks and mysterious light.
Sarah, We have missed you. Hope you had a fun family time.
Thanks for the kind remarks on my latest Halloween card. Today I tried drawing up some new ideas for a big dance party of the witches as envisaged by Marsha. she sent some neat pictures of people dancing. It took three cups of coffee to even start a flow as I just came up blank and it is still a collection of ideas. I will have to mull some more but here is some of my wonderings! I think I might see some direction but I am still not there yet. The others were clearer in my head from the beginning. Anyway not much.
Jen C & C's always welcome
JEN THIS IS OUTSTANDING FOR A MULLING... I love all the guests. I see me and my husband in the background as well.... just to let you know we are going to a halloween party. He will be count dracula and I am going to be Judge Judy.... Your bobbing kids are great... the dancing is wonderful the lone guy on the right is scarey... the tables and the posts and barrels are all spot on, all of your little musings and mullings are so adorable. Now go for it....
Pastel Teachers' hands are usually chalk-full. (by Marsha Ross)
C & C Always Welcome
Jen, this looks like a great start. I'm sure you will create wonderful cards with this.
I read earlier post with the discussion of making the cards.Over here we have online printers. You can get postcards printed for only 30 $ for 100 pieces.Ony problem it be 100 of the same motiv. I think your cards are so good that you would sell this many.
C&C always welcome

WOW WOW WOW Fred I love the colors and your signature texture. this is beautiful. Looks like the face of OZ they sure must have strong legs to hold up that big head, but still amazing...
Jen, wow. This is a wonderful sketch of a complex scene. So neat that all of the figures have personalities (scary dude sitting alone in the hood) and actions. I'll be very curious to see how this developes.
Fred, a wonderful painting of the rocky outcroppings and translucent stones and light emanating from the cave as Bennie and Ruthie meet GYR.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Hi all - - I can hear you all now - "Whoa! Where did she come from?" I have been popping in and then disappearing for about 18 months or so now. Mostly, it's been because of health issues but for the last 6 weeks or so, it's been because I am embarrassed because of my absence. My health issues have been difficult for me but not nearly so as some of you have been experiencing. I can at least get up and down the stairs to my studio and, even though not as much, I have been painting some each week - - just not every day but I'm working on that. Sammy and Marsha, you both just seem to bounce back after whatever life throws at you - - your upbeat and positive attitudes inspire me. And, Sammy, if you are reading this, you have been in my heart and in my prayers.
The October Challenge is all set up and ready to post on Monday. You guys have had such fabulous challenges that I'm not sure mine will measure up, but I haven't forgotten.
The activity on this Chatter thread is just overwhelming!! You guys have done so much and just keep on - - my goal is to be able to "jump back in" and join you all.
C & C always welcomed and encouraged.
Holly, this morning I looked up who was the next Challenge host and saw it was you. So happy to hear from you and know you'll be here with us next month and that you're able to make that climb to your studio.
Hello Holly! I'm quite new to the group and hoping to participate more in October. Looking forward to your October postings for the challenge! I was too busy doing an art quilt this month and I miss drawing just for the fun of it!
I commend you, Fred, for painting every day, or just about! Like the Nike commercial says ~ "Just Do It" ! Nice job.
Marsha, that is a beautiful pastel of the horses. You must really love animals - they are so well done.
Jen, your Halloween series is coming along fantastic! I enjoy how you use the same characters in each painting, so I'm beginning to look for them in each new one. Your party sketch has a lot going for it - many great ideas!
Here is a photo of the last quilt I have done. I finished it one day before the submission deadline (whew) and it's hanging at the Quilting Around Chautauqua event this weekend. I'll be enjoying the show tomorrow - I'm working as a "white glove lady" part of the day. The weather is beautiful this week and Chautauqua will be gorgeous.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Nealey, what a beautiful art quilt! It combines being balanced with not being identical from side to side and reminds me of both a stained-glass window in a cathedral and - interestingly enough - Southwestern art. Wonderful movement and detail. Have a terrific time as a white-glove lady. So glad you have beautiful weather for the event.
Nealy: what a beautiful "Dream Catcher". did you do machine stitching? do you have a long arm machine? I have a husquavarna but it isnt' able to do anything that intricate. 7 years ago I made a childs play quilt with a city scap on it with police stations and air ports and quilted the whole thing going over each of the buildings and trees and such it took me forever to complete. I never did take a picture of it I did it for a xmas present for my grandson. I had such a headache when it was done.... Yours is much more intricate as your lines are so close together and circling ... it is absolutely fabulous.
Hi Holly, Soooooo glad your doing well and I'm looking forward to seeing your art work, This painting is a challenge in a facebook forumn Sierra Mtns, California pastels 9x6 mat board

How do children learn about Islam in the family?
Do you have children aged 12 or under? Would you like to take part in a research project about religion in Muslim families in Cardiff?
We are a team of researchers working at Cardiff University, and some of us are Muslims. We are interested in how parents and other family members teach young children about Islam and are doing some research on this. We already know from research that Muslims are more successful than other religious groups at passing on their religion to their children and we would like to find out why this is from your point of view, by speaking to some families. We would like to interview parents, children and other family members (e.g. grandparents). In a few families we would also like children – with parents' permission - to keep diaries (using tape recorders) and take photographs of important events and places for learning Islam. This will help us understand how children themselves understand their religious upbringing.
If you take part in the research, you won't be identified in any way. Interviews will be tape recorded, but we won't use any real names when we type them up. We will use false names for all people and places. We will say you live in Cardiff but won't name the street you live in. Any photographs children take will be used mainly for discussion with the children. We won't put any pictures of people in anything we publish about the research. We will keep all information very securely. Once the research is finished, we will write a book about it. The typed up versions of the interviews and diaries (but NOT photographs) will be kept secure in a 'data archive' where other researchers might ask to look at them in future, but no-one will be able to identify your family from this material. If you'd prefer not to be interviewed in English, we speak Arabic, Urdu and Punjabi. For other languages we could use interpreters.
If you might be interested in the research, then please phone us or email us (see contact details below). If you changed your mind later you could pull out at any time.
Thank you for considering this.

Police State Brutality @OCCUPYOAKLAND
OPD have been denying up and down that they didn't use any rubber bullets or flash grenades, when clearly all the evidence is there. A year ago if people saw these photos, they wouldn't believe this was on American soil. The media somehow has convinced people to ignore this and go about their day. Nothing wrong here citizens, move along.
it is beyond awful that this is going on but i would just like to remind everyone that what was done in this photoset (i.e. documenting the abuses that are happening) is the best thing we can do to fight back. watch the police - it isn't illegal. use video, audio, photo documentation to hold them accountable. use twitter, use tumblr, use facebook. we live in a generation of access, information and citizen journalism, you have so much more power than you think you do, than they want you to think you do. don't be afraid to use it.

By Rodger Mullen Staff writer
Rhett Butler Reynolds is being the perfect Southern gentleman.
Or as perfect as an excited, easily distracted Cavalier King Charles Spaniel can be.
He sits at the end of a leash held by his owner, Cheryl Reynolds, tail wagging and eyes darting about to take in everything around him.
It's a Friday evening at Lake Rim Park. Michelle Huntting, owner of Miss Belles's Etiquette School for Dogs, is holding the seventh and last session of a class called "Control Unleashed."
Along with another dog, a black Lab named Abby owned by Megan and Sam Brown, Rhett is learning how to control his canine instincts.
"It creates impulse control," Huntting said. "The dogs learn the ability to calm themselves down and focus. Ultimately, the goal would be to have them controlled off-leash."
Rhett is about a year and a half old and has a sister named Scarlett. Reynolds explains that her daughter is a huge "Gone with the Wind" fan.
Setting up a plastic gate to serve as a barrier between the two dogs, Huntting has their owners walk them to red and blue mats she has placed on the grass.
"Go to mat! Go to mat!" Reynolds urges Rhett, who seems more interested in a group of children playing soccer.
Huntting coaxes the dogs and their owners into completing their rounds without losing focus.
"One, two, three, go!" Huntting instructs the owners. "That was good, that was good."
Reynolds tosses Rhett a treat when he completes the exercise successfully.
"You're doing good!" she says. "You're very focused tonight!"
As the class progresses, Huntting varies the exercises. Instead of walking, she has the owners run with their dogs.
Then, in the ultimate test, she removes the plastic gate to see if the dogs can walk by one another without getting into a tussle.
While the dogs run through their exercises, a group of children stops to watch - another distraction for the dogs to overcome.
Rhett seems to get the hang of what is expected of him after a few tries. The treats he gets after every successful attempt are a powerful incentive.
At the end of the 90-minute class, Huntting congratulates the dogs and owners for jobs well done. She snaps pictures of the participants and hands them each a certificate of completion.
The class has been a success, Reynolds says.
"Just bringing him to the park and hanging out is really helping him," she says. "Normally, he would be jumping and pulling, so this a huge improvement."

Folded Business Card Designs That Stand Out
One important purpose of handing out business cards to people is to generate attention for you and your business. The design of your card then must stand out to be able to leave a good impression. So how do make your business cards look impressive and unforgettable? Try opting for a fold over design. Just consider the following examples:
Folded business cards are among the most creative and unique types of cards that you can order from professional printing companies. If you want to design such card for your own use, feel free to try out a clever design that is appropriate to your professional image. And aside from its unique design, a folded business card provides you with extra space for other relevant details.

Comments about evolv Roundtangular Chalk Bag:
For a chalk bag, it does the job. I like the fact that I can take the belt off - unless I'm bouldering, I clip the two small loops to my haul loop with a small carabiner. Get the purple one - it's $6 less than the other colors, and in my opinion it's the best color and looks the coolest.
This chalk bag tends to end up in the bottom of my climbing pack, crushed by the weight of all my gear. No damage whatsoever. The closure system works - no chalk comes out, but I store it in a zip-lock bag anyways just by personal preference.
Capacity is good - it fits a "Metolius Refillable Super Chalk Sock" comfortably. Can be difficult to reach in sometimes, but this is due to it hanging off to one side because of the carabiner attachment preference I mentioned earlier, and NOT because of the product design. This is not a problem when I wear it with the included belt while bouldering.
Compared to the other chalk bags REI carries, the only other one I would use is the Arc'teryx, but there was a black one that is no longer sold here, and those don't have removable belts.
So, this is the best chalk bag sold at REI, and the price can't be beat.

Comments about evolv Roundtangular Chalk Bag:
The good:For an [$] chalk bag, this is a pretty solid bag. The rim is very stiff, the drawstring keeps it closed tight, and is quite deep (which for some might be a turn-off), and it never spills while climbing. The bad:While climbing it can be a little difficult to get your hand in there quickly to get chalk, so if you have sweaty hands and need to chalk up often it can be a bit of a hassle. Another problem I have with it is that when you set it down it won't stand upright, it'll fall to the side, so make sure you have it closed before setting it on the ground, especially if you use loose chalk. Lastly, this bag tends to get chalk all over it and can look tacky, but that has nothing really to do with performance, just aesthetics. All in all, for [$], it's an excellent bag.

David talks about how, by setting out next actions and capturing everything, you'll close the loop and be able to get tasks out of your "psychic RAM".
That works great for things that have a next action. But I often find myself distracted by things that don't, and can't - because there may not be one.
A trivial example: We had a huge storm here in Boston on Saturday, and there's a law that requires you to shovel your sidewalk within three hours. A few of the local businesses still haven't shoveled, so I filled out the form on the city's web site to complain.
Now, I may or may not get a response. Whether I do or not has no bearing on whether the city takes action. And whether the city takes action or not (a small fine) has no bearing on whether they shovel or not - which, in turn, has no bearing on me, because I may or may not walk down that street again any time soon.
And there's no point in setting a tickler for myself, because, again, the results aren't really critical. In fact, by the time the tickler comes up, the snow might have melted, or they may have shoveled, or whatever.
But because I *might* get a response, it takes up some psychic RAM. "Hey, whatever happened with that sidewalk e-mail? Yeah, I never did get a response. Oh well."
Same sorta thing with commenting on a blog (or a thread here!). Sure, I can set up notifications to e-mail me when there *is* a response. But when there isn't one, it's still going to pop into my head once in a while - "Hey, whatever happened with that thread on purple notepads? I guess nobody had anything to add."
It'd be futile and wasteful to set up lists of every blog post and forum thread I've ever found interesting just to check back and see if they get responses. It is not particularly critical to me to find out whether someone had something interesting to say about purple notepads. And, if they had, I should have received a notification e-mail anyway. But since there's no way to close the loop, it tickles my brain every once in a while. And each of those little tickles adds up...
Anyone run into this?

My husband loved the packaging and the smell and said it was really moisturizing, especially in our crazy dry Colorado winter weather.
I have tried other moisturizers, but this one is definitely my new favorite. I will be buying more of this lotion.
Nice light scent, soothing to irritated skin. Hubby loves this product. His skin is sensitive and prone to razor burn. This works well.
Got a smaller size in my november box perfect for just out of the shower. Use it every time I get out of the shower just like the bottle says and have noticed softer skin. Smell is alright nothing too crazy to say about that. Leaves my skin matte and not greasy at all. Would recommend.
This was my first time using this product and I absolutely LOVED it!! I live in Ohio and its that time of year where your skin gets bone dry. While I have my regular moisturizers for my body, this one worked best on my face! There wasn't really a smell which I actually liked (I like to leave my fragrance of the day up to the cologne I'm wearing). The moisture lasted all day, and the matte finish proved to actually keep the oil off my face the whole day. I've tried a lot of products for facial moisturizers and this is by far one of the best I've ever used!
I really like this moisturizer, I use it every morning. The sample size is great and I like the way it leaves my face feeling ready for the dry, cold air of the morning
I can see this being a good moisturizer for most guys but I have very dry skin and it didn't seem to do anything.
This is the best face Moisturizer I have ever used! I deal with both oily and dry skin, previous moisturizers would either my skin extra dry or extra oily, this one does neither. My face is smooth all day, no dryness and no oil. I would ALWAYS have oily skin by the afternoon and dryness would always persist, but no longer. This product has done the trick and my face looks clean and great. I would highly recommend this product! Cheers!
After trying many different moisturizers (for men) I have finally landed on one that fits the bill. While not overly heavy there is enough weight to it to feel that you are actually moisturizing the skin. No residue or oil = a happy face!
The scent and the feel of this lotion is great but it made me break out and I never break out. I'm sure it is a great moisturizer but it wasn't right for my skin type

Starting Line Head Games
Starting Line Head Games
The favored end of the starting line may be favorable most of the time, but when it's shifty, ignore the opposite end at your own peril. "Strategy" from our October 2010 issue.
We prepared to start the final race of the two-day Severn Sailing Association Soling Summer Series at about 2 p.m. on a warm July afernoon. Our lead was precarious. If we failed to beat Peter Gleitz in this race, we would fall into a tie, which would be broken in his favor. This was the third of three short, windward-leeward races, using the same unaltered line in an amalgamated sea breeze—a mixture of the local sea breeze and the ocean sea breeze coming overland and onto the bay from off the Eastern Shore.
At about 10:30 a.m., we sailed out from the club in a freshening 5-knot, local sea breeze from between 125 and 145 degrees that had dissipated the morning calm. By the time we arrived at the line, the ocean sea breeze had begun to fill from 155 to 165 degrees, and the surface wind began to shift erratically between extremes of 125 and 170 degrees. It lightened as it backed toward the local sea breeze, and it freshened as it veered toward the ocean sea breeze.
We won the first race by tacking to starboard at the beginning of the second beat in a wind of 165 degrees with the expectation that it would back. It did—to about 140 degrees!
We tacked and crossed the fleet to our right with ease and won the race. In the second race (perhaps overly impressed with our management of the first) we went left initially in what seemed to be a lift (a wind of 160 degrees), and then, as everyone else tacked to port, tacked above them. However, on the long, crossing tack, the wind gradually veered beyond anything we had seen, and two boats that had taken port tack from the line came out of the right corner to catch us at the mark. Because we had been unable to catch them, we were now but 1 point ahead of Peter, who had finished second.
Before the start of the final race, the wind had been in a prolonged back (at around 150 degrees) for four to five minutes, and the pin end of the line had become heavily favored. I asked myself and the crew whether I should start on port on the lifed tack or make my usual pin end start and then tack. I presumed that with a good start at the pin, I would have the nearest boats in my bad air and would soon thereafter be able to tack and cross the fleet. The gain I would make by starting ahead would put me in control of Peter from the outset.
I made the start at the pin alright, but because another boat had tried to drive through to leeward, I had needed to go down below the layline with speed, come up in a sharp luff and, in the last 8 seconds, bear away, hold below the buoy, and start without a foot to spare. So I was slow and low at first and had to sail about 100 yards in the header before the boat on my hip tacked. But the back was holding, and we looked great, at least for a minute or two. Then, as the wind gradually veered, I could see that Peter, who had started up the line and had tacked to port immediately, was working out on my leebow. He tacked on the layline and crossed us by three boatlengths.
If we gained on the run, it was but a boat length, so when we rounded the leeward mark, we were in his bad air and felt forced to tack away—into another back. I thought we'd just go far enough to get out of his bad air, but then the veer returned and we lifed, up and up to a compass heading of 95 degrees (a wind of 180 degrees)—higher on starboard than we'd ever been before.
We couldn't tack to port in this, so we continued, our only hope being the possibility that the back would return before we reached the port layline. It did, and we tacked. For a moment, I thought we'd have him. But no, the wind gradually veered to its median position, and, near the mark, he crossed two boatlengths ahead. And there went the Summer Series. Now, if I'd hit those shifts in a different sequence—if I'd used a different jib and had been faster, if I'd been faster downwind—if, if, if. And the biggest if was: if the beats had only been longer. On short, half-mile legs, there's typically time for but one shift of an oscillating series, and that one shift becomes a persistent shift. If (at the average speed of a racing sailboat, five knots) it takes about eight to nine minutes to sail a half-mile beat, and if oscillating shifts occur about once every five to eight minutes, it's unlikely that more than one shift will occur during a beat. If the shift extant at the start persists for two or more minutes after the start, then the first shift of the beat is almost certain to be the only shift.

Flash mobs aren't just those groups of people who mobilize via social media to converge on, say, a food court to burst into song.
Now, they also are swarming stores and stealing things in a trend known as "flash robs."
Stores from Portland to Chicago were overwhelmed last year with young people who entered a store in sync and stole items while clerks were helpless to intervene.
Here in Washington, a legislator wants to address this newfound problem by making it easier to prosecute groups of people who organize a theft spree via text or email.
Sen. Mike Carrell, R-Lakewood, has introduced legislation that would allow groups of nine or more people to be charged with organized retail theft if they collectively steal $250 or more in merchandise and use electronic messages to plan the crime.
Existing law requires a person and at least one accomplice to steal goods worth $750 or more to be charged with organized retail theft, which is a felony.
Carrell's proposal, Senate Bill 5178, had a hearing Friday before the Senate Law & Justice Committee. He said Washington needs to emphasize that these kinds of "come together, smash-and-grab type of organized activities" won't be tolerated here.
"There's nothing wrong with people communicating over the phone and coming together as a group to do a dance or something else," Carrell said in an interview. "It's when it is organized for a criminal activity and a bunch of people come into a store, and there's so many of them that the store owner is simply overwhelmed and can do nothing. And they're simply grabbing things off the shelves and disappearing."
Carrell said that he's not aware of any flash mob thefts happening in his district or nearby. But Carrell said the growing popularity of these types of crimes elsewhere means it's "one of those things that we really need to nip in the bud."
During Friday's bill hearing, Carrell showed flash mob thieves in action by playing security video from a June 2012 theft that occurred in the Portland suburb of Troutdale. In that incident, about 30 to 40 teens entered an Albertsons grocery store and stole various items.
It was one of several flash mob thefts that occurred in the Portland area last year, according to local news reports. In April 2012, a group of 16 teenagers entered a gas station convenience store in southeast Portland and stole candy and soda while a store worker was unable to stop them. The same month, a group struck a Nordstrom department store at a Portland mall and stole six North Face jackets, valued collectively at $650.
"We haven't really been able to do anything," said Sgt. Pete Simpson, spokesman for the Portland Police Department. "We've worked on it and tried to identify people involved in these thefts, but given the nature of them, they're very difficult to predict."
Retail organizations testified in support of Carrell's proposal Friday, saying that store owners are concerned for their customers' safety.
"These things are getting more aggressive, and we're very concerned that someone could get hurt during the commission of these crimes," said Mark Johnson of the Washington Retail Association. "It's very important that we have something on the books to deter (this)."
Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, said he is worried that creating a lower threshold for a felony theft conviction could flood Washington's court system with new felony cases, creating a financial burden for the state. It was Kline's legislation that successfully upped the monetary threshold for a felony theft charge from $250 to $750 in 2009.
"It kind of guts the bill we had several years ago, doesn't it?" Kline asked.
Members of the Washington State Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys share Kline's concerns, said defense attorney Robert Quillian.

Police make progress in Judy caseFresh leads streaming inMarch 16, 2013State police are calling on the community to help crack a case that's remained cold since Nov. 12, 2009.... fedupas1canbethanks what, that is exacty what i meant. my misunderstood first comment should be crystal clear now. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WhatMeWorryPureNonsense's idiotic portrayal of people that disagree with his politics borders on paranoid delusion. To believe that liberals would like to see a potential murder go unsolved is truly a sick delusion. The IM could have used a better headline but i do commend them for keeping this case in the public consciousness. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » fedupas1canbethe intermountain prints misleading headlines to get people to buy their paper. i expected to read about the "progress" the police had made, since thats what the article headline insinuated, but instead was disappointed to read that in the last 5 months the police have some "fresh" leads. she was afriend of mine so no i certainly dont want it swept under the rug , just was hoping for some better news. everything isnt political puremoron and everyone on here knows who is ****** in the head. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » PuremagixI see Fed's still on the case. Fed would rather see this swept under the rug rather than keeping the case fresh in the minds of the readers. Liberals hate to see criminals brought to justice. They'd rather see them loose on the streets harming other innocent people. Fed is just another example of liberalism being a mental illness. Anyone who could falt the newspaper for helping the police get at the truth is screwed in the head. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » LevelheadedThe Intermountain is doing it's job. This case must be kept before the public, or it might never be solved. 1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » fedupas1canbei feel sorry for this girls family. and yet another headlie from the intermountain..they will print anything to make a buck. 1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 6 of 6 comments
