With rumors circulating wildly that plans are underway to construct a fishing pier and two-level parking deck at
Facebook came alive with posts about the potential endeavor, and most were against.
"Absurd!" said long-time Seagrove resident Billy McConnell.
Paul Vizard of 30A TV concurred. "Against it. Firstly, BP funds are designed for restoration, not new ventures. Secondly, a monstrous boil on this pristine landscape will bring nothing but problems, hurt wildlife from tangled fishing lines around the pier poles, litter, and the cost of upkeep. Grayton's attraction is the old-town Florida feel, that's already been eroded from Seagrove, Seacrest and Inlet Beach. If a pier is a 'must have' for Walton, put it at Whale's Tail in Miramar," he said.
After years in the discussion phase, the pier project emerged as a flashpoint recently as Walton County's Board of County Commissioners considered a list of projects that could be funded with BP settlement dollars.
Commissioner Cindy Meadows posted on Facebook: "This is a project proposed by the former BCC. The cost is $20 million plus maintenance plus replacement costs after a storm. I think we can spend any funds received resulting from the oil spill on many other more worthy sustainable projects."
In a phone interview with The Sun, Meadows said the BCC ranked the pier and parking garage in 2011 as its No. 1 project to be funded with part of the funds that came from the Natural Resources Damage Assessment process resulting from the BP oil spill.
Albert Gregory, with
However, Meadows said, as far as she can tell, no more money has been spent in moving forward with the project, especially since the NRDA fund only has $30 million left, and this is a $20 million project.
"Common sense says this will not be funded by NRDA," she said.
But it could be funded another way, she said, such as through RESTORE ACT funds, which will soon be flowing into the region as part of the broader BP compensation package.
Walton County's Environmental Manager Billy McKee was at the BCC meeting when the project was originally discussed and voted upon.
"We had to come up with projects that would compensate for the loss of human use of our beaches and parks," he said. "And the public did have the opportunity for input."
He remembers that some were for it and some were against it.
McKee says now, though, that it can not be built at the state park and would have to be located elsewhere.
"It was a conceptual proposed project," he said. "And if the public is against it and doesn't want it, I doubt it would ever come about. The County Commissioners do listen."
Still, residents want to make sure they are heard loud and clear.
"A fishing pier and massive parking deck in our beloved
"Grayton needs to remain the scenic natural recreation area it is," said Rosemary Beach resident Claire Bannerman. "It proved itself to gain the Scenic Highway designation, so, protect and preserve it. Grayton Beach State Park is a scenic natural gem along our coast."
"It would not be welcome to interfere with our nostalgic, old town of Grayton feeling," said Realtor Nina Horn. "That is why tourists come here, to feel the sense of a community in walks to the beach and parks they can enjoy. If pavement comes in to destroy our vegetation and sand dunes, it would change the whole area and become more like our sister cities, which we are not!" Restaurant owner Hanie Nasri agreed, "I prefer Grayton to stay the same. It is one of the places that has its own charm. No need to mess that up."
After all the no's, there were a few who were not as emphatic.
"While I like Grayton just the way it is, there is a certain cachet to a fishing pier and would certainly be a complement to the State Park. However, I don't see how a parking deck fits the 'flavor' of Grayton Beach," said Al Cook.
Seagrove's Brooke Gontarek said, "I don't know about the parking garage unless it's done in a green way like they do in Miami with lots of foliage and make it attractive. A pier might be kind of cool, but again, as long as it doesn't detract from the small town feel."
Seagrove resident and historian Hardy Jackson said, "The pier would be at the park. I suppose the dock would be there as well. The state park has always been a 'common man' facility that allows people who cannot afford more expensive and upscale places to enjoy the beach. But if these folks want to fish, they are confined to the shore. A pier would let regular folks, who are also taxpayers, fish on, and even beyond, the first sandbar. However, the parking deck is another matter… fishing piers have been around a long time and have a certain charm. I cannot imagine a charming parking deck."

What happens when you click on a YouTube video? Well, it depends. If the video is embedded in a web page and it's already playing, a click on the video will open a new tab and send you to YouTube's page. Until now, this behavior was annoying because the video started to play from the beginning and you had to pause it or pick up from where you left off. Now YouTube's player is smarter: it pauses the video and opens a YouTube page that continues to play the video seamlessly.
You can try the new feature using the video embedded below. You'll notice that YouTube uses a URL format that lets you link to certain sequence from a video:

Another change is that YouTube's watch page lets you pause videos by just clicking on the player.

Charles Lane's screed "Tricare the untouchable," which was published in The Washington Post on March 26 and was printed April 3 in The Post and Courier, contains so many misrepresentations, it's hard to know where to start.
He says the courts rejected military plaintiffs' claims that they had been promised lifetime health care.
In fact, the courts acknowledged the promises, but said Congress has authority to change the rules.
He complains that costs for beneficiaries over 65 are higher than those of younger ones, as if it were shocking that older people require more health care. And he neglects to mention that Medicare (which military retirees must purchase like any other American) covers 80 percent of their costs.
Most offensively, he ignores that Congress has, in fact, raised military beneficiaries' costs substantially — especially for pharmaceuticals — to the point where they now pay more for retail medications than many civilian plans require.
New requirements for annual fee increases and mail-order refills for maintenance medications will reap further significant savings for the Pentagon in coming years.
He cites exploding cost growth since 2001, but the spike occurred more than 10 years ago, and growth rates have been declining ever since. Growth in 2012 was a fraction of one percent, and it will decline in 2013 with the new changes.
In rejecting proposals to civilianize overall military health fees, Congress has recognized what Lane and other critics so blithely ignore.
If we expect to keep attracting top-quality people to endure the extraordinary demands and sacrifices inherent in a multi-decade military career, we must offer a benefit package commensurate with that extraordinary sacrifice.

Jones: Musical chairs kind of made me look bad
UFC president Dana White announced Friday that Goerges St-Pierre was vacating his welterweight title, and that a new champion would be decided when Johny Hendricks fought Robbie Lawler at UFC 171. However, Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira were were of course already booked as the main event of that card.
Later, White said that Jones and Teixeira would fight at UFC 172, which takes place on April 12, 2014 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Jones was interviewed by Ariel Helwani on Friday and discussed the game of 'musical chairs' that his coming fight with Glover Teixeira has undergone.
"A lot of jumping the gun was going down, kind of making me look bad," said Jones as transcribed by MMAMania. "But it happens. Dana and I came up with a way to salvage this whole thing and that was pushing me back one more time. I get to fight in Baltimore. My brother's a Raven, so this is going to work out great for me. The marketing is going to be phenomenal."
Jones also discussed GSP's announcement.
"I am not surprised by it," said Jones. "I understand what Georges is going through, it's a lot of work and I'm actually happy for him. I don't think he's got any more to prove. He's been through that division several times and he went out like a champion -- on top and on his terms with a good head on his shoulders. I think there's so many opportunities out there for him and I'm happy for him. I think he's a great example."

Can someone tell me the sizes please. Im gonna make my own tomorrow and need the Inside diameter and the length.
Can someone tell me the sizes please. Im gonna make my own tomorrow and need the Inside diameter and the length.
Joezx10r, The inside diameter on a used one I have laying around is 1.04", the total length is 10-3/32" measured with a tape measure. The threaded section is .490" long and the collar behind it is .135" thick. The nub at the back is .215" tall, .72" in diameter and has been reduced to .619" at the flats. The bore is 9-5/8" deep. Hope this helps.
Thats exactly what I needed. Thanks moleman
If you're using tubing I'd just use 1" inside diameter tubing to make it easy. The head of the buffer is around .97" and the largest part of the bolt carrier that goes in there is around .93". I've been thinking of building a machined/welded version of a lower like in your avitar.
Yeah Im doing this so I dont need to buy that expensive tap. Sense my buffer mount comes off I dont see the need in tapping it the 1 3/16 16 they call for I could make the buffer tube and make the tap size a 18 cause we have that one at work. I dont know why more guys havnt built this type lower its so easy and you dont need any jigs to hold it while machining. http://www.geocities.com/elmgrove176.../project6.html
Or I could press fit and weld the buffer mount and tube together and have the spring and buffer insert through the back of the tube and do away with the tap all together.
Thats a standard tube, a car is 7-1/4" total length. There is a spacer thats needed on a A2 stock thats not needed on the A1. If you need the spacer info let me know.
Well I was going to use a adjustable stock and ordered the car spring, so do I need a spacer?
Here's a pic. The spacer is used to make up the difference between an a1 and a2 stock. They just don't just make the tube longer for parts commonality and the tube can't be any deeper than what it already is or the top of the bolt where the key is will strike the back of the receiver and charging handle as it won't be stopped by the rubber bumper on the back of the buffer. The spacer is the same diameter as the buffer tube, the large diameter is .6" long, the nub at the back is .710" in diameter and .2" tall. The large diameter section also has a recess for the nub on the back of the buffer tube that is .215" deep and .73" in diameter.

Executive Staff
Lew Wolff | Keith Wolff | Michael Crowley | Dave Kaval
Lew Wolff
Lew Wolff is co-owner of the San Jose Earthquakes after exercising his exclusive option to bring the team back to the Bay Area on July 18, 2007. Wolff's entry into MLS came after a trip to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. For over two years prior to the team's return, Wolff was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the revival of the Earthquakes as an expansion franchise with its records, colors and trophies intact.
As soon as the franchise returned to the league, Wolff spent four million dollars for renovations to Buck Shaw Stadium at Santa Clara University, helping create one of the best and most intimate atmospheres in MLS. The newly-improved Buck Shaw Stadium has a top quality grass field, and a state-of-the-art scoreboard and video screen. He also worked to create the Earthquakes Training Facility, adjacent to the site of the proposed new stadium on Coleman Avenue in San Jose. In 2011, the organization took a crucial step toward paving the way for a new stadium by commencing and completing the demolition process of the Food Machinery Corporation buildings at the Coleman Avenue site. Due to Wolff's commitment to Bay Area soccer, the club's new stadium will be privately financed with no public funding.
In October of 2008, Wolff was a key piece in the establishment of a partnership with the English Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. The partnership primarily focuses on both soccer and commercial development by exchanging and implementing the best practices from both organizations. The Earthquakes have made two preseason trips to London while Spurs played the Earthquakes at a sold-out Buck Shaw Stadium in 2010. Additionally, Spurs midfielder Simon Dawkins joined the Earthquakes on loan, becoming the first player in league history to join an MLS franchise through a strategic partnership with an international team.
The San Jose Mercury News ranked Wolff first in its annual listing of the Bay Area's 25 Most Powerful Sports Figures in both 2006 and 2007.
In September 2008, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group also presented Wolff with its prestigious "Community Cornerstone Award." The award is given to "a Silicon Valley leader who has displayed a lifetime of impeccable ethics, business achievement and community engagement."
Wolff is the founder of Wolff Urban Development and co-founder of Maritz-Wolff, entities that are involved in the development, acquisition and management of a wide range of commercial, office, parking and hotel properties in a number of California cities including San Jose, Los Angeles, Pasadena and Burbank.
Wolff's ownership interests in representative hotels and resorts include properties such as The Carlyle in New York City; Four Season Hotels in Houston, the Park Hyatt in Carlsbad; The Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis; Fairmont Hotels in San Jose and San Francisco; Rosewood-managed hotels including The Mansion in Dallas, Little Dix Bay, Virgin Gorda, Inn of the Anasazi, Sante Fe plus other brands such as Marriott. In addition, Maritz-Wolff has a 50 percent interest in the Dallas-based Rosewood Management Company, which owns and operates luxury hotels and resorts throughout the world.
Wolff began his career in real estate economics and appraisal in his hometown of St. Louis, Mo., before relocating to Los Angeles. In addition to his real estate analysis work, he also served as the President of the 20th Century Fox Realty & Development Company where he managed Fox's worldwide real estate activities.
Wolff is a former minority owner of the St. Louis Blues, the Golden State Warriors and the San Jose Missions, a now-defunct minor league baseball team. He holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, a master's degree in business administration from Washington University in St. Louis, and is also a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (MAI).
Wolff resides in the Westwood section of Los Angeles with his wife, Jeane. The Wolffs have three children and four grandchildren.
Keith Wolff
Managing Partner
Keith M. Wolff is the Managing Partner for the San Jose Earthquakes and President of Wolff Urban Development, LLC. In addition, Mr. Wolff is part of the related ownership group for the Oakland Athletics professional baseball club.
During his time with the Earthquakes, Wolff has taken the lead on several multi-million dollar projects. In 2010, Wolff was the point man for the development of the world-class Earthquakes Training Facility, a one-million dollar venture. San Jose's training grounds were home to Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League for one week in July of 2010. The Earthquakes' club partner used the facility in preparation for a friendly played at Buck Shaw Stadium, an event that Wolff was intricately involved with.
At the outset of 2011, Wolff made significant progress on the Earthquakes' proposed new stadium by beginning the demolition process on the Food Machinery Building at 1125 Coleman Avenue. The demolition process wrapped up midway through the year, paving the way for the club to pursue its own stadium. Those efforts culminated with a Planned Development Permit and Guinness World Record groundbreaking ceremony in 2012. The stadium is on schedule for completion in 2015.
Wolff has over 20 years of experience within the real estate industry with an emphasis on hotel, office and retail project assets. Wolff has an extensive background in all facets of commercial real estate and has been working on behalf of the team ownership group to lead the site acquisition, entitlement, design and development team for a soccer specific stadium for the Earthquakes and a new professional baseball stadium for the Athletics. Wolff received a Bachelor of Science degree, Magna Cum Laude, from the University of the Pacific, and holds a master's in business administration from Harvard University.
Michael Crowley
Managing Director
Michael Crowley is in his second season with the Earthquakes as the Managing Director. In October of 2010, Crowley was promoted after hiring Dave Kaval as Earthquakes President. He served as the team's President from 2007 to October of 2010.
Under the guidance of Crowley, the club saw significant success on the business side in 2011. The Earthquakes boosted attendance by an average of over 2,000 per game, ending the season at 11,858 fans per game. The club closed the year on a six-game sellout streak. In addition to attendance success at Buck Shaw Stadium, the Earthquakes hosted their first-ever game at the newly-renovated Stanford Stadium, drawing 41,028 for a 2-2 draw against New York on July 2 with a fireworks extravaganza following the match. The total attendance for 2011 was 201,587, up from 144,885 in 2010.
During the 2010 season, Crowley was instrumental in helping to bring club partner Tottenham Hotspur to San Jose for a friendly on July 17, 2010, a match that drew a sellout crowd as well as a national television audience on ESPN. Additionally, the Earthquakes set a franchise record for single-game attendance against the LA Galaxy on Aug. 21, 2010, with a crowd of 10,799 on hand for San Jose's 1-0 win. The new attendance mark eclipsed the previous record of 10,712 on hand for San Jose's friendly against Tottenham Hotspur.
Under Crowley's leadership in 2009, the Quakes posted the third-highest average attendance in Quakes history. The Earthquakes also signed a multi-million dollar sponsorship deal with Amway just before the 2009 season kicked off. He also played a key role in bringing the Night of Champions doubleheader to San Francisco, which saw the largest Bay Area soccer crowd since the 1999 Women's World Cup. The Night of Champions saw the Earthquakes take on the Columbus Crew followed by FC Barcelona playing Chivas de Guadalajara at Candlestick Park.
Crowley oversaw the four-million dollar renovations made to Buck Shaw Stadium and greatly influenced the establishing of a strategic partnership with the English Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur in 2008. On the team side, he played an important role in the hiring of General Manager John Doyle and head coach Frank Yallop.
Crowley also serves as President of the Oakland Athletics. The 2012 season marks Mike Crowley's 15th year with the Athletics organization and his 14th as President after being named to the position on Sept. 28, 1998. His tenure is the longest among those who have served in the same capacity since 1968. A limited partner in the Athletics ownership group, Crowley is responsible for the overall day-to-day functioning of the Athletics organization both on the business and baseball sides of the operation, working directly with Managing Partner Lew Wolff.
After spending three years in the San Jose office of Price Waterhouse and nine years with I.C.I./Fuller O'Brien Paints, Crowley joined the Athletics organization in July 1997 as vice president and chief financial officer. Considered a key figure in the A's resurgence as one of baseball's premier franchises, Crowley has been committed to fielding a championship-caliber team with homegrown talent. He works closely with General Manager Billy Beane on key player decisions and issues relating to the baseball operations overall objectives and philosophies.
In 1999, Crowley and his wife, Kathy, played a key role in implementing the Oakland A's Breast Cancer Awareness Day, which has raised $1.2 million for cancer-related causes over the last 13 years. Crowley has also served on the Bay Area Board of Trustees of the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP), which aims to create a respected, influential and nationwide family of schools that are successful in helping educationally underserved students develop the knowledge, skills and character to succeed in college and in the competitive world. He also served on the board of top business executives and community leaders that attempted to land the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in the Bay Area. Recently, Crowley has been named to the advisory board for the Institute of Sports Law and Ethics at Santa Clara University's law school.
A native Californian, Crowley graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1985 with a degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting. He earned his MBA from Duke's Fuqua School of Business in 1992. In November of 2002, Crowley was named one of Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal's "40 Under 40", honoring the nation's top sport executives under the age of 40. Crowley resides in Los Gatos with his wife, Kathy, and their three children.

Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").The Sin of the world was unbelief.Every person on the face of the earth no matter what or you he believes in.Has felt or believed God had forsaken him.GOD DID NOT FORSAKE JESUS.It was the man of Jesus in unbelief uttering these statements.Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?"Gods answer to Jesus was death.Jesus answer to God .IT IS FINISHED!!! To the Glory of God, Jesus over came death and rose again.Alleluia The Lamb Of God Slain for the SIN of the world.Me now weeping. When I first realized that Jesus died for unbelief.I was free for the first time to believe freely.It was not a requirement.I was simply free to believe for no other reason than I believe. There was no longer a reason for Hell the punishment for unbelief.Hell completely disappeared from my consensus.I am FREE I am Free I am Free I am Free
There is a question as to whether Jesus spoke these words, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").I don't believe Jesus thought the Father had forsaken him because Jesus said "my Father never leaves me alone." Jesus knew why he was here and what was going to happen to him. I don't think Jesus had any doubt as to whether God had forsaken him. CHB
Reformer IMO, I think Jesus only felt as though the Father had left him. Jesus knew that hanging on the crosswas his purpose for coming into the world and that the Father was always with him BUT, if unbelief is sin(and it is)then I don't think Jesus actually believed the Father had abandoned Him. I believe he was surprised at how awful seperation from God would be as he had never experienced it previously. and yes... since scriptures says Jesus grew in knowledge, that meant he learned, which meant he wasn't born with full knowledge.In addition, there is a difference between knowing something intellectually and knowing it experientially.The Father knows everything and is omniscient, yet, it wasn't until AFTER Abraham was all set up to plunge the knife in Isaacs chest that the Father said, "NOW I KNOW that you fear God BECAUSE you have not withheld from me your son, your only son"Yes, the Father knew intellectually beforehand what would happen with Abraham, but it was during the test that God knew it experientially.What I'm saying is, Jesus was God learning things experientially that previously he had only known intellectually.
What about where it says "where there is no law there is no sin" Or without law there is no sin" or something to that effect. Can't think of where to find it right now. Anyway, it sounds as if breaking law is the sin.CHB
Quote from: CHB on October 21, 2012, 09:45:12 PMWhat about where it says "where there is no law there is no sin" Or without law there is no sin" or something to that effect. Can't think of where to find it right now. Anyway, it sounds as if breaking law is the sin.CHBIMO, The law is "a tutor to lead us to Christ". It makes sin "all the more sinful". It shows forth the fruits of the "sin of the world" (unbelief) by provoking the sinful(unbelieving) nature to life, manifesting "sins" that grow out of "an evil heart of unbelief".

Wheel Covers Make Noise - Ticking, Clicking
Fitment and abrasion of wheel covers to the wheels can cause the wheel covers to make a ticking and / or clicking noise. Lubricating the back side of the wheel covers where they mate to the wheels should correct this problem.
Transmission Shifter is Hard To Move
Binding of the shifter slider can make the transmission shifter difficult to move. Replacing the bezel should fix this problem.
Coolant Leakage from Heater Core, Possible Leakage onto Passenger Side Foot Well
Electrolysis can cause repeated failures of the heater core and radiator. The diagnosing technician should check for voltage present in the coolant, with the battery disconnected, because electrical current in the coolant causes electrolysis. Corroded or deteriorated parts should be replaced, and the coolant should be flushed. Ground straps can be added to help prevent future corrosion of components.
Rear Brakes Wear Out Abnormally Fast
If the rear brakes wear out abnormally fast, this can be caused by defective rear brake pads. The rear wheels may also appear to become excessively dusty. They should be replaced with revised brake pads, and all wheel drive (AWD) vehicles should replace front brake pads as well.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by HollySmall It's Nice It's a very nice dress. Flowing, light material and not see-threw like most of Free People's dresses. But I have to say I'm not sure if it's worth the price. The day it arrived the beads where falling off and the string keeping the other beads in wasn't hoisted down so with the slightest tug to the bead they come off. Now you can take the time and sow them back on but really, you shouldn't have to at the price you payed for it. The Dress doesn't really have any form to it, its just straight with no hugging of the body. So I would not recommend it for the curvyer, pear shaped girls like myself. Another thing is its very long. I'm 5'8 and i found myself occasionally stepping on the ends and its so delicate that it rips. So all in all its a pretty to look at and lovely feeling dress thats so delicate you can't do much in it but stand still and look nice. 6.5.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by LilyOfTheValley Beautiful but very fragile and arrived broken The dress is amazingly beautiful, very flattering, fits true to size, makes me look taller and skinnier. The fabric and colours are gorgeous. BUT, the dress seems really fragile, and it actually arrived BROKEN, with the fabric at the bottom hem completely ripped on one side. I will fix it myself rather than going through the hassle of trying to exchange it; I live in Australia and postage is quite slow with orders sometimes getting lost, etc. It will be worth it because it is so beautiful but I am a bit upset that such an expensive dress arrived in such poor condition... 5.30.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by jaclynm Beautiful, VERY Poorly Made I just received this in the mail and, honestly, I almost started crying with disappointment. I had seen this dress in stores about 3 months ago and fell in love, but I couldn't justify spending so much money. After still thinking about it after all this time, I decided to save up and just go for it. It arrived today and, as you can see in the picture, the main line of beading down the very front of the dress is missing pieces and the thread that keeps the beads aligned is completely unattached. I literally unfolded the dress from the packaging and saw beads come unthreaded and fall to the floor. This is one of the most beautiful items I've seen from Free People, but at this price point, they should be ashamed of such poor quality. What on earth justifies that price if the item falls apart before it's even arrived? 4.25.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jessica_C very pretty print but could use better fitting i'm 5'6 and the dress ends exactly at my ankles which for me is prefect since i don't like when my maxi dress is touching the ground. i'm 100 pounds, own a size 0 and it's a comfortable fir, i wish it was more fitted in the waist because it just hangs with no shape, a zipper down the back or side would've fixed this issue. as anther reviewer mentioned the beads are mismatched, one set is thicker than the other, it kids of ticks me off but not enough for me to return it. the material is very fragile, make sure you don't get your heels or anything relatively sharp caught in it or it will definitely rip 4.3.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by melodyrp Disappointing PROS: Fast shipping and adjustable straps. CONS: I was VERY excited to receive this dress in the mail. It was a bit of a let-down. The dress is too loose around the waist and hips...so loose that it's not flattering at all (I'm usually a size 4/6 and I went with the 4 but wished I had sized down). I have pretty big hips and still the dress had no shape to it. It hung like a curtain. It's not very flattering around the bust either. If you're short you'll wind up tripping over the hem. I'm 5'2'' the dress swept the floor. The colors are muted down and kind of a drab in person. It's definitely not worth the price. I don't think it'd be worth even $50. FP normally has cute clothes but this one was a disappointment. I'm returning it. 4.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Islander my fav FP dress so far! The most precious dress ever! There are so many fun ways to layer, and it's simply gorgeous to wear as a maxi alone! FP, you've made it rite again! Btw, 5'2 115lbs, size 2 works just perfect! 3.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cinders A new addition to my collection.... Glad I was able to try this on in a FP boutique. It's a fantastic maxi. I did think that it wasn't as bright in color as the pics, but it didn't make a difference one bit. It has a gypsy edge to it and the slits in the skirt make it even cooler. Great with boots or sandals. For me it ran a tad bit tight across the bust. I'm a 36B (almost a C) I went with the 12 for comfort. A great addition to my dress collection. You can always count on FP for great maxi dresses! 3.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kaylee0321 AMAZING This dress is just perfect. It is exactly like how it looks on the computer screen. fabric, colors, front beads, strap, lengths, size, everything. I am absolutely in love with this dress. I thought the price was high for this dress but the dress is so lovely i eventually got over with :) I personally wish it was a little longer so it comes down to the ankle, because it is right above the ankle and that makes me feel a lil awk... but thats not a problem :) 2.28.2013

On Friday, March 30, 2012 the Pushmataha County Commissioners were presented with a check for $100,000 from the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management for bridge repair and low-water crossings that were flooded in November of 2011. Pictured are: Harry Trottier of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, County Commissioners Michael Brittingham, Jimmy Long and Jerry Duncan.
A collaborative effort and collective vision among community partners has become a reality. The Antlers Walking Trail ŌĆ£Big PeopleŌĆÖs ParkŌĆØ is close to completion. The City of Antlers, in partnership with the Pushmataha County Turning Point Coalition, has successfully created an outdoor fitness facility to be enjoyed by all.
With the economy reeking havoc on the mass majority of businesses and families across the nation, it is no wonder that nonprofit organizations are feeling the crunch as well. They rely on generous donations and gifts from the residents of their community and surrounding areas to stay afloat. With the financial restraints of higher gas prices, food costs and so forth, donations have slowed for one of our own local non-profits.
Kids from Antlers, Moyers, Clayton and Rattan Schools took center stage in the fight against tobacco as they joined together for Pushmataha CountyŌĆÖs 7th Annual Kick ButtŌĆÖs Day. Kick ButtŌĆÖs Day took place from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 29th on the corner of Main and High Street (in front of FirstBank) in Antlers. Not only was this day represented in Pushmataha County, but more than 1,100 events were planned across the nation.
The Rattan Junior High Baseball team has won their second 1st place trophy of the year at the Hugo Jr. High baseball tournament. In the tournament, the team defeated Atoka, Hugo and Broken Bow. Pictured (L to R) are: Front Row: James England, Will Lewis, Dakota Cogburn, Roho Chandler, Alex Clay, Gavin Birchfield, Max Pruitt, Easton Winship, Jarrett Scott, Gage Haddox; Back Row: Coach Michael Clay, Jimmy Harvey, Jacob Parson, Reed Shaw, Conner Copeland, Hayden Farmer, Jordon Haddox, Cameron Carter, Tanner Woodruff, Braden Dennison, Logan Tomlinson and Coach Ryan Cordell.
On Saturday, March 17, 2012, the Pushmataha County Junior Bassmasters and Conservation Club held its first fishing tournament of the 2012 season. The tournament was sponsored by the Mills & Coffey Funeral Home in Antlers. The local business donated money that was used to purchase prizes for each youth contestant in the tournament. It was an adult/youth team tournament and was held at McGee Creek Lake. Launch time was at 8:00 a.m. with the weigh-in being held at 2:00 p.m. at the Buster Hight Ramp.
The Antlers Bearcats traveled to Atoka March 29th ŌĆō 31st to compete in the Atoka Wooden Bat Classic. In the first game, the Bearcats faced the Atoka J.V. team with senior Michael Lampton on the mound. He started the game hot, with three strike outs but the Bearcats didnŌĆÖt do any better and failed to gain any runners. The second inning found the Wampus Cats unable to score, yet again but Antlers got fired up scoring 10 runs. Chandon Draper, Bryce Carter, Michael Lampton, Timmy Kuykandall, and Caleb Smith all made well placed hits and moved runners.

"I have purchased both a HOH 11" I web(Pro 217P) and HOH DC in 11 1/4" I Web. I definately give the nod to the HOH DC. I prefer the break-in shape the HOH DC retains over the HOH. Keep in mind I am splitting hairs as they are both excellent gloves. I also prefer the relatively easy break-in the HOH DC series gloves allow over the Pro Preferred series gloves."

Tough as nails, so far...

"I wanted to see why gloves are priced the way they were, so I bought this model to play in a league I joined this year. I should have bought the glove MONTHS before the season started. This glove is very, very, very hard to break-in. I've only broken in a total of 4 gloves (one outfield/pitcher, one infield, and one cather's mitt), but this glove took the longest of them all. It took about 3 months before I could use the glove without feeling pain when closing it, either on the pinky finger and the thumb on the inside from the laces, or from my forearm when I closed it. I can't imagine ever needing another glove after buying this one, however. It's simply awesome. Very light, very dependable. With the grade of leather used in this model, it should last forever..Expect to put the work in to make it your glove, but all the work pays off on the field. I use this at 2B."

About this Book
- 450 pages
- Published:
- Release: P2.1 (2012-09-13)
You'll get started right away with RSpec 2 and Cucumber by developing a simple game, using Cucumber to express high-level requirements in language your customer understands, and RSpec to express more granular requirements that focus on the behavior of individual objects in the system. You'll learn how to use test doubles (mocks and stubs) to control the environment and focus the RSpec examples on one object at a time, and how to customize RSpec to "speak" in the language of your domain.
You'll develop Rails 3 applications and use companion tools such as Webrat and Selenium to express requirements for web applications both in memory and in the browser. And you'll learn to specify Rails views, controllers, and models, each in complete isolation from the other.
Whether you're developing applications, frameworks, or the libraries that power them, The RSpec Book will help you write better code, better tests, and deliver better software to happier users.
Caution! You've fallen for a trap. You've picked up this book thinking it was about RSpec. Fortunately, you decided to read the foreword. Good! That gives me the opportunity to tell you about the mistake you just made and possibly save you from an unexpected fate.
You see, this book isn't about RSpec at all. Oh, RSpec is certainly mentioned. There are lots of examples of how to use it. There's even a very detailed reference manual in Part III. But that's all just part of an insidiously clever deception, because this book is not about RSpec.
Perhaps you thought you might read about Cucumber? After all, Part IV is named "Cucumber." Oh, these authors are clever; God they are! They've littered this book with examples and details that tell you all about Cucumber in all its intricacies and all its copious fiddledy-bits. There's even a section on using it with Rails and Webrat and all the other gory things that you'll need to become a Cucumber expert. But this book is not about Cucumber.
No. This book is not about RSpec. And this book is not about Cucumber. This book is about. . .
I'm not sure I should tell you. I mean, once the secret gets out, it's liable to cause mayhem. If it ever got out who the audience for this book really is, if the masses learned of the diabolical plan being executed in their midst, I'm not sure our civilization would survive.
You see. . . (come closer, and cover this part with your hand so nobody else can see it). . . you see, this book is not for. . . (covered?). . . it's not for Ruby programmers!
There, I've said it! Now don't panic, and don't drop the book— whatever you do, don't drop the book! Hold on tight, and keep it covered. Don't let anyone else see.
Yes, you see, this book is not about RSpec. It's not about Cucumber, It's not for Ruby programmers. This book is for. . . (covered again?). . . it's for all programmers!
Keep a good tight grip. I know it's hard. Don't look around suspiciously. Don't draw attention to yourself. Just try to stay calm, breathe normally, and keep reading.
Yes, all the code is in Ruby. Yes, all the examples use RSpec and Cucumber to one degree or another. Yes, if you read this book, you will learn RSpec, Cucumber, and things about Ruby and Rails and Webrat that you didn't know before. No doubt about it. Remember, the best lies are near-truths.
Here's the thing. While you read this book, you will think you are learning about all those cool tools. You will think "Oh, cool, I'm learning RSpec and Cucumber." But you will be learning something else at the same time! Something unexpected. Something unadvertised. Something, perhaps, unwelcome.
As you read these pages, a hidden meme will creep into your mind—a meme of such potency and power that it is likely to change everything about the way you program. And not just how you program in Ruby! If you read this book, that meme will change the way you program in Java, C#, Python, or (oh, God, the thought) COBOL! This book will change the way you code—period!
Worse, you don't have to be a Ruby programmer to be infected by this meme. As I said, these authors are clever. Their unholy plan is to infect all programmers with this meme. You see, they've cleverly constructed the Ruby code in this book so that it can be understood by (gasp) any programmer at all! I mean, this is worse than Fluoridation!
Any programmer who picks up this book will be infected by the meme. And the meme is subtle. And the meme is persistent. And the meme will have its way. And when it does, our industry will never be the same again. Are you willing to risk that?
What is this meme? What name shall we give it? The meme is legion! It's not just Agile, though Agile is there. It's not just TDD and BDD, though both are there. It's not just Continuous Integration, Acceptance Test–Driven Development, Acceptance Test–Driven Planning, or even Extreme Programming, though all those things are present in the meme.
No, the meme is more than any one of those things. The meme is a synergistic witches brew of some of the most contagious and effective ideas of the past two decades. The meme is. . .
Dare I say it?
The meme is. . .
. . . Craftsmanship.

—Ian Dees Software Engineer
Some authors would be satisfied with just writing the definitive guide for a technology. These folks go a step further, and show you insider tips that will keep your tests clean and maintainable.
—Marcus Ahvne software developer Valtech
The second generation of tools for the XP generation explained by their creators and maintainers. Awesome, a must read.
—Matt Wynn independent programmer and coach
The RSpec Book teaches you much more than how to use RSpec's features; it teaches you how to write code the way the RSpec team does: patiently, and with great precision and clarity. There is something here for everyone: beginners are given plenty of gentle attention but there is some real meat for the more experienced reader to chew on, too.
—Craig Demyanovich 8th Light, Inc.
This book covers the territory of writing great software, and the authors are your experienced guides. If you follow the map that they have drawn, you'll learn to write only the code that you need, and you'll write it simply and clearly. You'll come home from this journey with some experiences that will have immediate and lasting effects on the code in your editor and the code yet to flow from your fingertips.
—Aaron Bedra principal Relevance Inc.
The RSpec Book is a fantastic introduction to all things BDD. It goes much deeper than just testing to provide you with the right tools you need to fully embrace the ideas that the framework has baked in.

Midland Valley 1, North Augusta 0 (8 innings)
Midland Valley (6-13) picked up an exciting victory on Friday when Cameron Levi knocked in the game-winning run with a bases-loaded single in the home half of the eighth inning.
Levi (3-3) had come in to pitch the top half of the frame in relief of Brett Silas, who pitched seven innings of scoreless, two-hit ball while going 2-for-3 at the plate. Levi was 2-for-4 on the night. Ryan Love took the loss for North Augusta.
Midland Valley will next play at Airport on April 16.
North Augusta 11, Brookland-Cayce 0
Norh Augusta (10-6) got a pair of home runs in its opening-game victory in the Triple Crown Invitational at Citizens Park.

text: I was searching e-bay for a first edition of Danse Macabre and noticed there appears to be two hardback editions, one in 1981 and one in 1983. Does anyone know if the 1983 edition is the same as 1981 or was it an updated version? I thought it was a little strange to see two hardcover editions only two years apart. I don't think one is a book club edition either because there are several listings calling both versions first editions. Most sellers on e-bay are pretty good about listing book club editions as such.

On March 26 Jay W Armstrong of 509 Fairground Road in East Bend was arrested on drug trafficking charges, according to a Yadkin County Sheriff's Office release.

iTunes 9.1 to Bring, iPad and iBooks ePub Support, Genius Enhancements, Bitrate Conversion?
It's pretty much a guarantee that Apple will release a new version of iTunes to coincide with this Saturday's iPad launch, and now MacRumors has a source claiming it will be iTunes 9.1 and contain iPad support, integration of ePub for iBooks management, Genius Mix enhancements, and bitrate conversion.
According to the source, the existing "Audiobooks" entry in the iTunes Source list will be replaced with a broader "Books" section. A similar change will made to the sources for managing content on connected devices such as iPhones, iPods, and iPads. The revamped "Books" section for connected devices will reportedly display all book content compatible with a given device for easy content management.
The bitrate conversion, which would previously automagically make 128-bit AAC files for iPod shuffle is said to be rolled out across devices in this new version.
Will we see it before Saturday? Apple would be wise to spread out the server load for this and the iPad App Store launch, so we certainly hope so!

Fresh Air Weekend: Maya Rudolph, William Shatner
Originally published on Sat March 10, 2012 11:44 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Maya Rudolph: The Fresh Air Interview The comedian spent seven seasons on Saturday Night Live and went on to star in the raunchy comedy Bridesmaids. Now she's exploring what's funny about parenting in the new movie Friends with Kids and the TV series Up All Night.
In 'Shatner's World,' Stories About Acting, Loss, Loss In his new one-man show, William Shatner talks about his childhood growing up in Montreal — and the ups and downs of creating iconic characters, from starship captain James T. Kirk to lawyer Denny Crane.
Bruce Springsteen: A Universal, Original 'Wrecking Ball' Springsteen told Rolling Stone that Wrecking Ball is "as direct a record as I ever made." It's also one of his most stylistically diverse, including elements of gospel and hip-hop as well as rock and the blues. Rock critic Ken Tucker says the music "testifies to a bottomless ingenuity, invention and exhilaration."

It's A Cubic Zirconia!Friday, February 15 2013
Sami's humiliated, Will is disappointed, Kate and Rafe ban together, and Nick plants a seed of doubt in Gabi's head.
Cameron arrives to Abby's place on time for their date with sweets for her. There are boxes everywhere. They're donating Jack's things. Cam finds a box marked with Abby's name and finds a card from an old admirer from high school. He looks "Stuart" up in the yearbook and then asks what the golden circle club is. Abby plotzes and drops a tray full of tea and crumpets. Cam gets a page and before he leaves, Abby grabs his face and kisses him. He goes and she rolls her eyes at herself.
Will goes to Sonny at the cafe to thank him for the mp3 player. Sonny apologizes. He meant to cancel it but insists he keep it. Their hands touch and things get awkward. They start to bond over the playlist and reminisce until Brian spoils the mood. Will takes off and Brian and Sonny laugh over plans to go rock-climbing.
Gabi and Nick are her place discussing whether or not Will wants full custody of the kid. "Now that the other gay boy is back in the picture, there is no way this is going to work," Nick says, making Gabi wonder if he wants to keep the baby away from Will and Sonny because they're gay. Nick denies it and has a plan that he refuses to discuss. He alludes to there being a secret but again won't tell her. It sounds like blackmail to her. Later, Nick's gone when Will arrives. He tells her about what happened with Sonny. Gabi says to give Sonny time, but Sonny's with Brian now. Will muses that it's for the best. He can focus on school and their daughter. Did she make an appointment for the paternity test? She will. He just wants there to be no misunderstandings. Gabi worries.
Kate drops in on Rafe in his office. He wants to discuss Sami.
In her office, Sami can't believe EJ did "all this." He says Diane from accounting takes credit. Sami's confused. He asks her to give it a shot. They've nothing to lose - it's not like they're making a lifetime commitment. He says the ring will tarnish eventually. Sami's more befuddled and he laughs. "It's a cubic zirconia!" She's disappointed. He shows her several more rings and she's still puzzled. "Are you alright?" EJ asks. She's not. He tells her it's for a nail polish ad campaign. "The Gemstone Collection." Sami's mortified. She explains finding the ring in his coat and thought he was going to propose. EJ thinks an engagement at this point would have been too forward. She's embarrassed. He holds her and reassures her and they end up in a kiss. He locks the door and they have sex and some pillow talk.
Kate and Rafe arrive at Mandalay. Kate thinks they should stick to soft drinks. Rafe updates Kate about Sami's demands for a paternity test. Sami's worried Gabi will put Nick's name on the birth certificate to tie things up in court. Kate's surprised but sees their point. She trusts Gabi and Rafe and knows Will is going to do the right thing. Nick's the problem. Kate convinces Rafe to take a meeting with Nick. Later, Nick shows up. He starts to talk business. "No," Kate says. "I didn't call you here to talk business." Rafe smirks, "It's personal." Kate says they support each parent's right to be a part of the child's life but they worry Nick may have an ulterior motive. Nick laughs. He's uneasy. He just wants to protect the baby. Rafe reminds him that his prison record will become a liability if this goes to court. Rafe knows what happened to him in prison.
Cameron goes to a nurse at the hospital and asks if she was in the golden circle club in high school. She threatens sexual harassment but soon realizes he doesn't even know what the club is. She fills him in that it's a club for those waiting for marriage to have sex.
In the park, Sonny and Brian finish their date with a kiss and agree to do it again soon. Sonny immediately flashes to taking Will rock-climbing.
Sneak peek!
Kristen has second thoughts about using Brady.
One of Nick's old prison mates starts to count the days until his release.

Agriculture is the foundation of our nation's well being. If you doubt it, try to maintain your current lifestyle for a few days, but without breakfast, lunch and dinner. And what of the clothes you wear? or cosmetics? or pharmaceuticals?
Thanks again to agriculture... And country living just isn't country living without a farm. Family farms and productive farmland are vitally important to the folks that cultivate them and they are essential to you.

By Denise Morganthall
With mental health issues becoming more common among young children today, we need to explore all avenues to reverse this trend. The answer might lie in something quite simple – play.
Play is essential in children's development and overall health. Play helps children develop cognitively and socially. Unfortunately, children do not get to play as we did years ago. Today, as a society, we work longer and harder, making it more difficult to find the time and energy to play with our children. But we need to make time. Play promotes good mental health, which allows children to develop what it takes to thrive in an ever-changing world and grow into well- adjusted healthy adults.
There are many types of play: creative, make believe, quiet, cooperative and active. Active play is essential in children's overall health, as it can release extra energy, tension and anxiety. It will also tire children out so they sleep better, which is also essential to their overall health. Active play can involve riding a bike, swimming or swinging at the playground.
Cooperative play is playing with other children, which teaches sharing, taking turns and obeying rules. Board games are an example of cooperative play, and aside from being fun, they teach children skills and knowledge they will need throughout life.
Mental health professionals have noted that play is as important to human happiness and well-being as work and love. Parents obviously want what is best for their children, so if you want your child to be healthy and whole, perhaps you should start with play.

Photo Gallery | Skipper Named First Team Capital One Academic All-District
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico improved to 19-5 overall and 9-4 in Mountain West play with a 3-1 (16-25, 25-23-, 25-15, 25-17) win over Boise State in the Johnson Center on Thursday night in front of 1,363 fans. The Broncos dropped to 11-13 overall and 5-9 in MW contests.
The Lobos host Utah State at noon on Saturday afternoon. The Aggies mproved to 14-9 overall and 9-4 in league matches with a 3-1 win at Air Force on Thursday night.
New Mexico came out flat against the Broncos, dropping the first set 16-25. The Lobos were still looking for consistency for much of the second set, and after trailing almost the entire set, rallied at the end to secure the win, 25-23.
"We went in at the break feeling fortunate to be tied 1-1 and our message to the team was that we needed to take advantage of that," head coach Jeff Nelson said. "We turned it around in game two with Julia Warren just lighting up the scoreboard and Lena Skipper and Elsa Krieg going back and serving tough.
"From there, it seemed like everyone just took a deep breath and relaxed and we finally got out of the funk from last Saturday -- we finally loosened up and looked really good again in games three and four."
UNM secured a lead early in set three and cruised to a 25-15 win. In set four, the Lobos trailed, 7-10 before Riddle sparked a 5-0 run to give the Lobos the lead and momentum to seal the set and match.
"We had six blocks in the third set and that really made a difference," Nelson said. "We served tougher which kept them out of system and gave us time to set up the block. Our middles did a good job after their middles hurt us in the first and second set. We didn't do a good job with their right-side hitters and we'll have to work on that this week."
UNM was led by redshirt junior Chantale Riddle who had a match-best 18 kills. She added eight digs and four block assists.
Redshirt sophomore Hannah Johnson recorded her 15th double-double of the season and eighth in MW play with 52 assists and 15 digs.
Freshman Julia Warren recorded her fourth double-double with 12 kills and 11 digs while Cassie House, also a freshman, tallied 13 kills.
"Julia hit .500 and had 11 digs and just really had a great night for us," Nelson said. "I really challenged her this week to step up and be our bull dog out there, pumping her fist and getting eveyone fired up. She responded and did a great job tonight."
Warren welcomed the challenge.
"I was just thinking, 'Let's get this going,'" Warren said of her scoring spree late in set two. "I was just trying to pump the team up. Hannah set amazing and Miquella got some great digs. The momentum was going and we really benefited from a great second, third and fourth set."
Lexi Ross, a senior, hit .556 with 11 kills on 18 swings and just one error at the net. She led the Lobos in blocks with six.
Miquella Lovato anchored the back court with 12 digs. The senior added one ace serve.
Set One – Boise State 25, Lobos 16
The Broncos opened 8-2 in set one and the Lobos were never able to recover. New Mexico strung together two runs of three but wasn't able to come closer than five points.
Boise State hit .343 in the first set while the Lobos were held to a .094 hitting percentage, recording 10 kills on 32 swings and committing seven errors.
Set Two – Lobos 25, Boise State 23
The Lobos trailed the entire second set, not making their move until late in the set when Warren had three consecutive kills to pull the Lobos from a three-point deficit to a tie, 22-all. A few plays later another kill by Warren pushed the Lobos ahead, 24-23, and an ace by Elsa Krieg sealed the set-two win, 25-23.
Warren finished with seven kills in the set -- four coming in the final seven rallies.
Set Three – Lobos 25, Boise State 15
The Lobos found rhythm in set three, taking early leads of 7-3 and 11-6, forcing Boise State to burn their two timeouts early. The Lobos maintained control of the set, using six blocks to hold the Broncos to a .114 attack percentage (13-9-35). New Mexico got five kills from Riddle and four from Ross, and as a team, hit a scorching .565 (14-1-23).
Set Four – Lobos 25, Boise State 17
Boise State claimed a 10-7 lead early in set four before Riddle crushed three-consecutive kills to tie the set. An attack error by the Broncos moved the Lobos ahead one point and then a kill from Krieg made it 12-10 and the Lobos rolled from there.
Riddle again produced offensively, tallying six kills in the fourth set. Ross, House and Krieg each added three kills.

R&B Singer Frank Ocean Cited For Pot Possession and Loses Driver's License
It sounds like Frank Ocean has been thinking 'bout
you pot a lot lately.
2012 may have been a breakout year for the R&B singer, but it also ended on a rocky note. He was reportedly pulled over twice while driving in California within the final two days of the year, and one of those stops got him cited for pot possession and led to him temporarily losing his driver's license.
Frank was pulled over in his black BMW for going about 90 in a 65 mph zone on December 30. He was then pulled over on New Year's Eve for roughly the same speed.
During the second time he was stopped, police detected marijuana odor coming from his car and found a small bag of weed on the 25-year-old singer.
Frank was cited for driving with a suspended license and for having tinted windows, and his license was confiscated.
However, Frank seemed rather unfazed by the incident. He took to Twitter on January 3 to post:
hi guys, i smoke pot. ok guys, bye.— frank ocean (@frank_ocean) January 3, 2013
Judging by that tweet, it looks like Frank has no problem being blunt (so to speak).
Up until these final two days of the year, 2012 had been pretty stellar for Frank Ocean. His debut album, Channel Orange, debuted at number two on the Billboard charts in July. The album — featuring the hit single, "Thinking Bout You" — received six Grammy nominations last month.
So his career is going full speed ahead — and so is his BMW.
