This small oceanside town is looking at a critical 2013.
PONCE INLET — This small oceanside town is looking at a critical 2013.
The long-fought and acrimonious Pacetta LLC waterfront development case moves on, first with an anticipated appeal, followed by a potential jury trial and award that might occur by late spring or summer.
Lyder and Simone Johnson, the real estate company's owners, have previously said they would seek up to $55 million in damages. Efforts to reach an out-of-court settlement failed in 2012.
Court briefs by both sides continue to be filed in the appeal portion of the case, and that decision could impact when or if another hearing takes place where a jury will set damages. Ultimately, an appeal of the entire case could follow.
"This thing unfortunately isn't going to end anytime soon," Mayor Gary Smith said. "It's a shame."
On a happier note, Timucuan Oaks is expected to open by early spring, providing residents with another pristine natural sanctuary complete with an elevated boardwalk and kayaking launches on the west side of the peninsula. It's being compared to nearby Ponce Preserve. The federal government funded most of the $1.8 million project.
Timucuan Oaks' eight acres is approximately half wetland and half upland, and is a little more than one-half mile south of the Ponce Preserve.
"We just awarded the contract. There's a time limit on the grant by May," Smith said. "It should be ready for use before summer."
Smith said the new preserve adds to the town's already large amount of open space, "probably more than any town around us." But he said one of the town's goals is to eventually add more recreational and sports facilities for all ages, including tennis courts.
But he said a top priority in 2013 for the Town Council will be to match the comprehensive plan with recently revised land use and development code changes so development rules aren't as tight, "trying to maintain the town the way it should be without being overly restrictive."
Smith said it now can take a resident as long as a year to remove a tree that threatens the safety of a house.
"There needs to be a more realistic approach," he said.
As far as Ponce Inlet's bottom line moving into 2013, Town Manager Jeaneen Claus said: "Fiscally, we're fine."

Phelan, Chris and Sharpley, Richard (2011) Exploring Entrepreneurial Skills and Competencies in Farm Tourism. In: Ninth Rural Entrepreneurship Conference, 23rd-24th June 2011, Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University.
PDF (Author's post-print)
Diversification to farm tourism is increasingly seen as a viable development strategy to promote a more diverse and sustainable rural economy and to counter declining farm incomes. However, our understanding of the dynamics of the modern farm tourism business and the entrepreneurial and competitive skills farmers require in making the transition from agriculture to a diversified - and service based - enterprise remains limited. Hence, the aim of this paper is to explore the range of skills and competencies that farmers in the North West of England identify as important when adopting a diversification strategy to farm tourism. With the findings indicating that that whilst a range of managerial skills are valued by farmers, they lack many of the additional business and entrepreneurial competencies required for success. Moreover, this paper acknowledges the need to generate consensus on the requisite skill-set that farm tourism operators require, along with a need for a currently fragmented rural tourism literature to acknowledge the significance of rural entrepreneurship and the characteristics of successful farmers and farm tourism ventures.

US to target "anti-Iraq activity"
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has warned that the US will take action against countries destabilising Iraq.
Her statement comes hours after US forces stormed an Iranian consulate in the northern Iraqi town of Irbil - prompting condemnation from Tehran.
In a major policy speech, President George W Bush said the US would take a tough stance towards Iran and Syria, whom he accused of destabilising Iraq.
Mr Bush also vowed to increase troop numbers in Iraq by more than 20,000.
Democratic Senator Joseph Biden, the chairman of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he thought Mr Bush's strategy was a "tragic mistake".
Consulate raid
US troops raided the Iranian consulate in Irbil at about 0300 (0100 GMT), taking away computers and papers, according to Kurdish media and senior local officials.
Five US helicopters were used to drop troops on the roof of the consulate building, according to an Iranian website close to the revolutionary guards.
Vehicles cordoned off the access roads while troops broke down the front door, arrested five men inside and confiscated computers and documents, it said.
Iranian television has said they had been transferred to US central command in Baghdad.
Iran's foreign ministry condemned the attack, and summoned the ambassadors of Iraq and Switzerland which represents American interests in the Iranian capital to protest against it.
'Vital region'
Ms Rice was speaking alongside new Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace, to give details of the Bush administration's revamp of its Iraq policy.
The top US diplomat said Iran and Syria should "end their destabilising behaviour" in the region.

Greenest residence hall to be honored April 15
The annual Go For The Green Celebration to honor the campus residence hall that won this year's Total Waste Reduction Challenge is set for 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room.
The event will feature live music, a chance to win over $1,000 in prizes from local businesses in a raffle and an opportunity to meet the Eco Reps of each residence hall.
Go for the Green, according to the program's website, is a competition among all the residence halls on campus. It determines which hall can reduce the most water, waste, electricity and natural gas. Halls can win based on their percent reduction in electricity and landfill waste, by signing the total reduction pledges and by attending sustainable education programs and events hosted by their Eco Reps.
This competition works to educate WWU campus residents on sustainable practices that can be implemented in their living situations and hopefully will take with them beyond campus housing.
The point system works as follows:
- Electricity: 75 points for every 1-percent reduction per month
- Landfill: 25 points for every 1-percent reduced per month
- Pledges: 25 points for every 1-percent signed per month
- Programs: 100-300 per program (points based on participation, educational value and innovation of the program)

Syntec Nutraceuticals ReviewsBy
As a true observer, I have noticed as of lately there has been a big buzz about Syntec Nutraceuticals . The Network Marketing community, has been blanket with the opportunity that the said company presents. Along with this are the stories of course are the typical 'MLM naysayers' saying that Syntec Nutraceuticals
is a scam. Well, in this Syntec Nutraceuticals
Review article, let me tackle the truth about the company and see if it is a scam, or a legitimate home based business.
Syntec ( Syntec, Inc / Syntec Worldwide / Syntec Nutraceuticals ) offers a line of Nutraceuticals that contain antioxidants that the company claims offer protection against free radicals, and nutritionally enhanced micro nutrients. The company was founded by Edward Yeh, Founder and CEO, and Joseph Wang, PhD, President and Co-Founder. Syntec offers both products for retailers as well as business opportunities for network marketing entrepreneurs. Syntec is currently located in Vacaville, CA. Its manufacturing plant is located in Hillsboro, Wisconsin.
A producer of Nutraceuticals, Syntec offers a variety of nutritionally enriched bars and tablets, each targeting a specific nutritional need. Syntec bars contain SynVita, a multivitamin, as well as high levels of both fat and water soluble essential vitamins, SynVita also contains micro nutrients for enhancing general health that Syntec Nutraceuticals believes help protect against oxidative stress from free radicals. In addition to Syntec's line of vitamin bars and tablets, the company also produces cocktail recipes utilizing some of the supplements produced by Syntec.
But will it live up to the hype?
In conclusion, Syntec Nutraceuticals isn't a scam. Instead, it's just a new MLM Company trying to establish its credibility by offering individuals an opportunity to make money.
However, like any profession, it's not the company that makes an individual successful. If you want success in Syntec Nutraceuticals , you need the right marketing skill set and COACHING from people who actually know how to market online. Yes, an individual has to have a well established foundation of marketing techniques for him or her to have an edge in the marketing industry and be able to sponsor 10-20 reps a month. However, before you're able to sponsor 20 reps a month you first need a stream of NEW TARGETED LEADS to talk to every single day.
After all, this is a marketing industry, so a parallel set of knowledge is the most important one. If you want to learn EXACTLY how to create a Branded Blog like this one or more importantly, how to market your new branded blog using Videos, Articles, PPC, Social Media etc. then you may want to inquiry about my Online Coaching opportunity. . You will learn how you can take that same exact knowledge and DOMINATE your business (or any other company, for that matter) online, fill in your name and email on the form on the right of this page and I'll send you my exclusive 10 part video series for free.

June 10th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) San Ramon residents are at odds with their municipality over a planned multi-million dollar contract that would have the city receive more than 1,000 tons of garbage per day for incineration as part of a waste-to-energy project.
The contract between the city and WRA Environmental Engineering, Inc. is scheduled to be voted on today, and would include a commitment by the city to receive garbage from around the country for an initial period of 25 years.
Under the contract, the municipality must provide the company with 1,000 tons of garbage daily for the first year, or pay for the difference in lost production.
After the third year, the municipality would be obligated to provide 1,500 tons of garbage per day. That amount represents at least one-third of all the garbage produced in the country, and would result in some 100 garbage trucks passing through the city each day.
Residents are concerned the trucks would deteriorate the city's roads and cause foul odors, while others are concerned over possible health effects.
San Ramon mayor Mercedes Moya said the contract is only a draft and would likely be rejected by the Municipal Council.
"[The contract] was just a proposal that needs to be thrown out like 19 others that have been submitted. I think it will be rejected," Moya said.
Residents however are not convinced. Rumors have circulated in the community that the contract may in fact have already been signed, in a move reminiscent of the contract with Brazilian firm, OAS to expand the highway between San Ramon and San José which was terminated last year after public outcry.
"We're going to go from the 'city of poets' to the city of garbage," one resident commented in a Facebook post.
Moya denied such rumors and said the matter would be decided by the Municipal Council during today's session.
A similar waste-to-energy project is planned in the Coyol Free Zone in Alajuela.

BASINGSTOKE and North Hants face an early season Southern League Division One top-of-the-table showdown when Liphook and Ripsley are the visitors to May's Bounty this Saturday.
They are the only two sides in the division to have won both their games this season.
Liphook looked to be heading to defeat last Saturday, slumping to 76-7 as they chased Bournemouth's 182-8.
A swash buckling innings from captain Harry Munt, who hit an unbeaten 70, turned the game on its head and they got home with two wickets to spare.
On the opening day of the season Liphook had a comfortable victory at Fawley, which is where the Bountymen enjoyed their latest triumph with a 133-run win last Saturday.
Basingstoke will have to make one change to their line-up as all-rounder Graham Porter is unavailable.
Basingstoke skipper Chris Froud was set to decide who his replacement would be after training last night, as a number of second-team players are in the frame.
Once again this weekend, the newly-promoted Bountymen know very little about the opponents they face.
Froud said: "We have been told they are a good team and have a good overseas player (Suman Ganguly) who can bat and bowl.
"We are playing with a lot of confidence and never lost at home last season, so we are looking forward to the game."
Basingstoke made it two wins on the road at Fawley last weekend, after they won the toss and decided to bat.
The visitors proved it was a good batting track as they amassed a huge total of 329-7.
The platform for this was set by openers Andy Fulton (37) and Chris Froud (66) as they put the opening Fawley bowlers to the sword and scored 64 from the first 10 overs, before they were parted soon after.
Top scorer Dan Coombs (79) and Froud kept the runs flowing, as they took the score to 190, before Coombs was dismissed. His 80 ball knock had included nine fours.
This was the first of two wickets in two balls for Wayne Smith (3-46), as Andy Niblett departed for a golden duck, caught behind by Kieran Earl.
Craig Williamson (27) denied Smith his hat-trick, but Froud was out soon after to end an 87-ball knock in which he hit the boundary seven times.
Williamson and Martyn James (44) added 67 for the fifth wicket as they took the score to 262.
The last 10 overs of the innings saw Basingstoke score an amazing 109 and this was helped by James, who hit two sixes and three fours in his 43-ball stay at the centre, and then Graham Porter (45 not out) took up the mantle with another run-a-ball innings which saw him hit one maximum and six fours.
In reply, Fawley started well, with captain Tom Gates (38), who was limping after he was injured while fielding, and fellow opener Paul Marks (45) putting on 61 in the first 10 overs.
The pair were parted by James and from then on, the run rate fell away thanks to the bowling of Porter (2-28), Andy Niblett (0-15) and spin twins Dave Pistorius (2-29) and Matt Thankachan (2-35).
By the 30-over mark, Fawley were on 122-4, but the home side dug in and with five overs to go, the Bountymen still needed one wicket for maximum points from the game.
However, Wayne Royan (45) and Wayne Smith (16), with some late boundaries, saw the game out as the home side reached 196-9.
Basingstoke's second eleven also won last Saturday, with captain Chris Chandler hitting a six to secure a three-wicket win over visiting Trojans in Southern League Division Three.
The visitors were bowled out for 191 as Chandler (3-31), Rakitha Perera (2-29) and Patrick Joseph (2-33) did the damage.
The home side looked in trouble at 118-6, with Lee Nurse (35) the best of the top five scorers.
The Bountymen's tail struck around and Chandler hit an unbeaten 54, which included two sixes and six fours, and saw them home with five overs to spare.
The second XI will look to make it a hat-trick of wins in as many weeks with a trip to Bashley this weekend.

text: A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and issuer credit ratings (ICR) of "a+" of the members of the Markel North America Insurance Group (Markel). Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the FSR of B++ (Good) and ICR of "bbb+" of FirstComp Insurance Company (FirstComp) (Omaha, NE). Additionally, A.M. Best has affirmed the FSR of A- (Excellent) and ICR of "a-" of Deerfield Insurance Company (Deerfield) (Deerfield, IL), as well as the ICR of "bbb+" and all debt ratings of the publicly traded parent, Markel Corporation (MKL) (Glen Allen, VA) [NYSE: MKL]. The outlook for all ratings is stable. (See below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.) The rating affirmations of Markel recognize its well-established market position as one of the leading excess and surplus lines organizations in the United States, its sustained operating profitability and solid risk-adjusted capitalization. Additionally, these ratings acknowledge Markel's excellent operating cash flow, adequate liquidity and the financial flexibility afforded by MKL. While Markel continues to benefit from its long-standing reputation among U.S. wholesalers and retailers, Markel's recent underwriting performance continues to be adversely affected by prevailing soft market conditions as well as increased expenses. Markel has long maintained underwriting leverage higher than the average of the surplus lines composite. However, this is tempered by Markel's conservative loss reserving practices and the release of prior years' loss reserves, which has served Markel well in terms of risk adjusted capital and lower earnings volatility. Acquired by MKL in October 2010, the ratings for FirstComp recognize its strategic role within the group but also take into consideration its relatively narrow business profile, competitive market pressures and the challenges related to today's current macroeconomic factors. The ratings of FirstComp also consider its adequate risk-adjusted capitalization, favorable historical and prospective underwriting performance and the explicit support provided by Markel and its affiliate, Evanston Insurance Company, through quota share reinsurance, which covers 50% of all business written on and after November 1, 2010. FirstComp has become one of the leading providers of workers' compensation coverage in the United States, specializing in small, main street businesses in underserved rural markets across 28 states. The ratings for Deerfield acknowledge its low underwriting leverage and the partial rating enhancement it receives through the implied support of Markel.

* Kingdom of Morocco has big say in choice of buyer
* Final bids for 53 pct stake in Maroc Tel due late April
* Ooredoo, Etisalat, and KT Corp working on bids
* Sale is key for Vivendi, a year into strategy revamp
By Leila Abboud and Sophie Sassard
PARIS/LONDON, April 8 (Reuters) - Manoeuvring in Vivendi's auction of its Moroccan telecoms business is intensifying as three suitors lobby the kingdom's government ahead of a bidding deadline at the end of April.
Since Maroc Telecom is 30 percent owned by the state, the kingdom has the final say in Vivendi's eventual choice of buyer for a 53 percent stake worth around $6 billion. As a result, regional politics, culture and even language will influence the outcome.
A deal is crucial for Vivendi, whose management is due to face shareholders at an April 30 meeting with little to show for a year of efforts to reduce exposure to telecoms, focus more on media and cut debt.
The French group has already failed in attempts to sell video game unit Activision Blizzard and Brazil telecom GVT. Pulling off a Maroc Telecom sale will decide the next move in its strategic overhaul.
Ooredoo, formerly named Qtel and backed by Qatar's oil and gas wealth, has deployed lobbyists in Morocco with pledges to pour money into unrelated infrastructure projects to benefit the kingdom, said two people familiar with the process.
The pitch could appeal to the north African kingdom, whose economy has struggled lately because of reliance on trade with the euro zone and flagging tourism.
Morocco, ruled by the Arab world's longest-serving dynasty, lacks the oil riches of the younger Gulf monarchies.
Etisalat is appealing to Morocco's sense of prestige with a promise to make Maroc Telecom the flagship of its African operations and deploy Maroc Telecom executives throughout the continent, said the two people.
The group owned by the United Arab Emirates would fold its underperforming West Africa business, known as Atlantique, into Maroc Telecom and use that as its leading brand in the region.
Korea's KT Corp., on its first major foray overseas, is working on sharing up to 40 percent of the Maroc Telecom stake with local partners to help it navigate the country, mitigate risk and finance the bid, three sources said.
It was not immediately clear if Ooredoo or Etisalat were also in talks with local partners, although the people familiar with the bidding process said such a scenario was possible.
"The Moroccans will be part of the deal one way or another," said one of the people.
The second person said the eventual winner would have to strike a balance between Vivendi's priorities and Morocco's ambitions for one of its largest companies that controls strategically important communications infrastructure.
"Vivendi is only interested in getting the highest price, while Morocco wants a party that will invest in the long term to develop Maroc Telecom, create jobs and act in a way that generally benefits the country," said the person.
A source from Morocco's finance ministry downplayed the importance of political considerations on the deal. "Obviously we have our word to say because we want someone whom will invest more and more in infrastructure," the ministry source said. "This is the only requirement."
People involved in the sale say Etisalat and Qtel are running neck and neck in the auction and both have the financial firepower to back their bids.
Etisalat has lined up an $8 billion dual-tranche loan facility to finance its bid, bankers working on the deal said. Qtel is also in the advanced stages of negotiating a financing package with banks.
Although they lack the deep pockets of the other bidders, the Koreans plan to bring in locals for contacts and know-how could work in their favour, said one person. Three other sources said the cultural gap between the Koreans and the Moroccans was significant and had hampered KT's bid in recent months.
A KT Corp spokeswoman said it was still reviewing whether to submit a final bid and declined to comment on partners.
Maroc Telecom offers fixed-line, mobile and Internet services in the kingdom and is one of Africa's top telecom firms, with units in Burkina Faso, Gabon, Mali and Mauritania.
The buyer will inherit a firm that has been a reliable cash machine for Vivendi but has seen slower growth in recent years, analysts say, although there is growth potential in sub-Saharan Africa, where sales and profits rose last year.
Group sales in 2012 fell 1.8 percent to 2.7 billion euros, while EBITA fell 9.4 percent to 987 million euros.
Vivendi will emphasize progress on the Maroc Telecom sale at the April 30 shareholder meeting, said the second person. "It will either announce exclusive talks with a bidder or boast about the very serious and strong offers they've received."
A Vivendi spokesman said of the sale: "The process is moving along and we are confident of a positive outcome."
Progress on the sale has been slowed by the political tinge to the proceedings, said the sources. Important factors, such as pledges of deeper trade ties, may not be in the bid documents.
Morocco's relationship with Qatar was strained during the Arab Spring uprisings by state-owned news channel Al Jazeera's coverage of the political unrest and, more recently, by a perception that Qatar has aided the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere in the region.
"The Moroccan palace has political and security concerns about the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the region, which are shared by the Emiratis, so in that respect the two are aligned," said Neil Partrick, a Middle East analyst affiliated with LSE's Kuwait Gulf Programme.
But the kingdom has come increasingly to rely on the wealthier Gulf states for trade and aid, so will not want to alienate Qatar or the United Arab Emirates.
Morocco's King Mohammed went on a tour of Gulf Arab states last October to drum up economic support for a $90-billion economy heavily exposed to the debt-scarred euro zone through trade, tourism and migrant remittances.
Along with Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait, Qatar pledged to invest $2.5 billion in the kingdom's tourism sector, with payments expected early this year.
"The Qataris have been extremely aggressive, not just on the telco side but overall with their investment strategy (in the region), compared with Abu Dhabi, which has taken a cautious stance," one senior telecoms banker.
"If you are the Moroccan government seeking to raise funds to boost the economy, you may prefer to align with the Qataris now. The money is clearly there."
The state will decide later whether to retain all of its 30 percent stake, one person familiar with the process said, and may tender 5-10 percent of its shares if the deal is attractive.

Table of Materials - See handbook for others
An approximation can be made of the cylinder force needed to punch a hole, slot, or notch, using this method: Find the cross section, in square inches, of the section to be sheared. In the illustration it would be the distance around the hole (perimeter) multiplied by metal thickness.
Square inches to be sheared= (L + W + L + W) x T (All dimensions to be in inches)
Next, find the shear strength rating of the material. For approximation, the values in the table under the illustration may be used. Shear strength may vary widely according to how extensively the material has been work hardened. For more accurate results, the shear rating should be obtained from the metal supplier. Shear strength of other materials may be found in a mechanical handbook. For metals (only), shear strength is about 75% of tensile strength. Mechanical shear strength is expressed in PSI (lbs. per square inch).
Finally, multiply the number of square inches to be sheared times the shear strength rating of the material. The answer will be cylinder force needed to make the cut, assuming the punch is flat and shears the entire cut area simultaneously. To reduce the force, die makers sometimes bevel the punch so it enters the shear area gradually, although this may distort the material or the slug. Where several holes are to be punched, the punch heights may be staggered to reduce the maximum force required.
Example of Shearing Force Calculation
Find the cylinder force needed to shear a rectangular hole measuring 1/2 x 5/8" in a sheet of steel which has a thickness of 3/16" and a shear strength of 60,000 PSI.
Solution: Convert fractional dimensions to decimals:
Hole measurements= .500 x .625 x .1875" thick.
Area to be sheared: (.500 + .625 + .500 + .625) x .1875 = .422 square inches.
Shearing force = 60,000 x .422 = 25,300 lbs., or 12.65 tons.
Tonnage Required for Punching Round Holes
Figures in the body of this chart are U.S. tons (2000 lbs) required to punch round holes in mild carbon steel having a shear strength of 60,000 PSI, subject to the multiplier (from table above) of .75 to 1.3, according to the state of the metal, whether annealed or work hardened. For other materials, use these values times the multiplier from the table above.
Example of Force to Punch a Round Hole
Find cylinder force to punch a 3/4" diameter hole in a 1/8" sheet of brass.
Solution: Use the table at the bottom of the opposite side of this sheet which shows that 8.45 tons would be required in a .1196 sheet of steel. Brass has a multiplier of .47 to .80 (from upper table). Maximum force for brass would be 8.45 x .80 = 6.76 tons. Probably less force would be required unless the brass were in an extremely hard state.
Cylinder Force to Overcome Load Friction
The total load which a cylinder has to move may consist of 3 or 4 components, each of which may have to be considered when choosing the cylinder bore and PSI.
(1). Force exerted on the load to bend it, compress it, for it, shear it, etc., is useful energy flowing from the cylinder into the load, and is calculated in the usual manner.
(2). Force exerted on the load to move it against frictional drag is the subject of this data sheet.
(3). Force required to overcome inertia in getting the load started and accelerated to final velocity was the subject of Data Sheet No. 4.
(4). Up-acting cylinders must supply an additional force equal to the weight of the load. This will be the subject of a future data sheet.
Force to Overcome Load Friction
Figure 1. High friction loads are those of machine slides; lathe tailstocks or turrets, planers, milling machine or grinder tables, etc.
These are applications for hydraulics, not air. An attempt to use an air cylinder, especially on slow feed, against a high friction load may result in erratic motion, although for rapid positioning, an air cylinder may work quite well.
Friction depends on many factors including load weight, surface materials, speed of motion, area of contact, degree of lubrication, etc. Breakaway friction (starting from a standstill) is greater than running friction.
In this limited discussion we will consider only the case which is most common to fluid power applications - breakaway friction of iron on steel on moderately lubricated surfaces. Machinery's Handbook gives a coefficient of friction of 0.21 under these conditions.
Cylinder force for breakaway in a horizontal direction is load weight times coefficient of friction. In Figure 1, a force of 1000 x 0.21 = 210 lbs. is required to slide the load horizontally, although 1000 lbs. is required to lift it.
Figure 2. Rolling friction loads are those of wheels running on rails or road surfaces, as overhead cranes, road machinery, service vehicles, etc., and are more related to hydraulic motor drive than to cylinders. Although wheel bearings cause some friction, most of the resistance is caused by the wheel trying to roll up out of the depression which it made in the supporting surface.
Figure 3. Force, in lbs., to overcome rolling resistance= .02 x W x R, in which W is load on wheel, in lbs., R is radius of wheel, in inches, and .02 is a coefficient applicable to iron on iron. If the load is supported on good anti-friction bearings, bearing friction should not be greater than 1 to 3% of load weight.
Rolling resistance of road vehicles is from 5 to 25% of load weight depending on road surface.
An empirical value which has been used in calculating the horizontal force for railroad trains is 3 to 4% of the total weight. A 2400 ton train would require a forward force of 200,000 lbs.
Various authorities differ on the true values of rolling resistance so information given here should only be used for approximate calculations.

A pinched nerve and a broken toe.
Injuries suffered by finalists Kree and Candice aside, Wednesday night's American Idol show was supposed to be all about classic rock but it felt more like classic cheese.
The remaining seven contestants were so not suited to the genre that when Burnell opened the show with Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name it just made you want to change the channel.
It was, without question, the worst performance of the night so at least we had nowhere to go but up.
Much better was Kree's big vocal delivery of Janis Joplin's Piece of My Heart and Candice's similarly bluesy turn on The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction but everyone else was pretty milquetoast, more High School Musical than Woodstock.
In that long lame category was Janelle's country take on Billy Joel's You May Be Right, Lazaro's tame version of the Queen anthem We are The Champions, Amber's timid version of Heart's What About Love, and Angie's restrained rendition of Evanescence's Bring Me To Life.
"Rock is about attitude," stressed judge Randy Jackson.
"Rock is about feel," echoed judge Keith Urban.
Most of them had neither.
The one performer actually bringing it rock-wise was Australian electric guitarist Orianthi who sat in with the singers all night long.

Beautiful as always xReplyDelete
@Charlie: Thanks hon, loyal and good friend as always! Glad you like. XXReplyDelete
The finish on the complexion is just perfection! And I LOVE the colour on the lips! I love red lips but that dark purple-ish shade is probably my favourite favourite favourite of all time. xReplyDelete
i love the pinching cheek method - sweeet xxReplyDelete
@Rebecca: Thanks Rebecca! Yeah I do love a bitten lip, so evocative and sexy yet natural. The foundations are great! No powder needed too! xReplyDelete
@Emily: Yes! I love the pinching method! I forgot about it and used to do it all the time! Thank you for commenting! xxReplyDelete
So so pretty, and actually a look I could really see myself wearing. Now I just need the Ellis Faas blush in 304! Have you used the eye lights and if so, could you possibly tweet/email or do a post on how to get the best out of them (I know, I'm so demanding!). I have the bourdeaux and lilac shades and I love the effect, just not to sure how to work with it as I can only seemt o get a harsh line. I bow to your wisdom! xReplyDelete
@Lipstick Luvvie: Haha ok I will try and do a look using the brights, yes I have them and they're great! Hmm stay tuned and I will get one done as soon as I can. Thanks jen xxReplyDelete
Lovely. I need one of you to live in my makeup case and make me look that lovely everyday! :)xReplyDelete

Very nice :-)ReplyDelete
@clionasweeney: Thanks love! xxReplyDelete
@Computergirl: Hehe thanks hon, that's too kind! xx
I love the makeup, it's fresh but it has a pop of colour. Now you make me lemming about the Ellis Faas products!ReplyDelete
On another note, how do you find Stage Performance? I have a few in my stash but I never get around to use/try them...
Oh, please drop me a note when you are in KL :D Food food and more food! x
@poseylass: Thanks lovely! Oh i adore the EF products, such gorgeous colours but also very useable! Stage Performer is a staple in my kit, it's great for adding radiance and a glow whenever I need it. Hmm if you're in KL, the climate might not be great for it as it's so humid. I would use it as a moisturiser plus tint instead of seperate moisturiser and foundation. Please have a go and let me know how you get on. Will do, am planning to visit KL anyway so if I do, I'll def hit you up! Thank you for reading xReplyDelete
Absolutely gorgeous and I love the idea of using the blush on the lips to marry lips to cheeks and tie the whole thing up - genius! xReplyDelete
@Debbie: Thanks lovely! Yes it's a good trick if you want to keep the look harmonious. xxReplyDelete
That is a gorgeous look! Looks like it came straight from the runway yet so so wearable. <3ReplyDelete
@Jen W: Hi Jen, thank you! I do the shows in London, Milan & Paris and have definitely been influenced by them in my everyday work. Thanks again! XXReplyDelete

Hippos find New Holme in the Karoo
More than 200 years after they were shot out by hunters in the 1770s, hippos are again wallowing in deep waterholes in the Karoo's Seekoei River.
Sheep farmer and guest-house owner PC Ferreira spent several years researching historical records of hippopotamus occurring in this most unlikely of environments – the parched Karoo. The Seekoei River winds its way through the arid land near the small town of Hanover in the Karoo, including through his farm, New Holme, leaving several deep pools lined with reeds that are perfect for hippos.
Among records Ferreira found were those by Field Corporal Adriaan van Jaarsveld, written in the 1770s, and writings by early explorer, soldier and naturalist Robert Jacob Gordon (1743-1795), who also visited this area in what is now the Northern Cape in 1777.
Once Ferreira was able to prove convincingly from historical writings that hippo had once occurred in the Seekoei River (seekoei means 'hippo' in Afrikaans), he was able to obtain a permit to keep hippos on his farm. The first three hippos came from Mpumalanga in 2008, and before long, they were breeding every other year – a total of three calves have been born so far.
I loved the hippos' laughter, and seeing the bubbles they made floating on the water. It was surprising and unusual to see hippos in the Karoo.
The first cow that gave birth went downstream to another farm, and had her calf on a neighbouring farm in a large pool that Ferreira said he could identify from an old sketch was once one of the popular hippo hunting spots on this river, back in the 1700s. Once her calf was big enough, she brought him home to the pools at New Holme.
In the evenings, Ferreira drives guests at New Holme through a few kilometres of his arid farm to the Seekoei River, where the hippos blow bubbles in a pool 4m deep that is lined with reeds that rustle softly in the breeze.
'I loved the hippos' laughter, and seeing the bubbles they made floating on the water,' said Nicholas Thiel, a young visitor to New Holme. 'It was surprising and unusual to see hippos in the Karoo.'
'We drove on the back of a bakkie (pick-up truck) in the late afternoon to see the hippos in the river,' said his sister, Alice. 'I really didn't expect to see hippos in that dry place, or to see that pretty river. We also saw buck and an owl.'
Now Ferreira wants to establish a wider conservancy, the Karoo Seekoei River Nature Reserve, where other farmers in the area welcome not only hippos to their farms like he has done, but other animals that also once occurred in the Karoo, including buffalo, white rhino and even perhaps the desert black rhino.
The vision for the reserve is 'to see the transformation of the Seekoei River area into the pristine wilderness area Robert J Gordon witnessed during his 1778 expedition'.
'If we could turn this area into a conservancy, we could not only return it to the way it once was, but also provide jobs for many people in this area,' explained Ferreira, whose father farmed New Holme and nearby farm Mieliesfontein before him.
'Sheep farms only employ very few people; tourism can create many more jobs,' he said. 'Plus, we have a duty to protect and preserve the natural heritage of the Karoo. I am passionate about conservation. If I can get others to buy into this idea of a conservancy, I can see myself making this my life's work.'
The area for the proposed Karoo Seekoei River Nature Reserve totals about 450 000 hectares and includes more than 50 properties bordering the Seekoei River from the catchment to the mouth at the Van der Kloof Dam. This area is between the towns of Nieu Bethesda in the Eastern Cape and Petrusville in the Northern Cape and follows the flow of the Seekoei River just east of Hanover and west of Colesberg in the Northern Cape province.
The mission for the reserve is 'To be a major role player in the South African conservation arena by facilitating the reintroduction of regionally extinct species into the project area, to contribute exponentially to the conservation targets of the Republic of South Africa, and to create a potential tourism industry environment that will result in improved quality of life for the people of the area.'
This would mean reintroducing regionally extinct species, encouraging every landowner in the area to form part of the reserve, and managing and protecting the biodiversity of the area.
In essence, Ferreira's vision is to influence all landowners in the proposed area to stop stock farming and focus instead on farming game and on building tourism as a local industry.
If that could happen, this area could see many more hippos laughing and chortling again in the Seekoei River.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Industry Insider Techniques with Louise Cutting Volumes 1-4
I have watched these dvds and think they are great. I stopped sewing for about ten years for some reason unknown to me now. I now realize how much I missed it. I had to teach myself to sew. My mom was a wonderful seamstress but I wasn't interested in my teens when she tried to teach me. I thought I would always be able to learn from her later but I lost her when I was only 25 years old. I went to work in a bank when I was 26 and they wanted me to dress nice but the pay wasn't enough to do that so I taught myself to sew. I am now 66 years old and still have so much to learn.
I would so love to have these dvds to refer to for the answers to my many questions. I am now retired and my sewing has become so much a part of my life. I want to learn to do it the best that I can.
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.

Charities lose donations after currency firm folds
Scores of charities have lost money after the collapse of a firm in Sussex which processed donations for them.
CCI, based in Burgess Hill, exchanged foreign currency for a commission.
But the firm went into administration in 2014 owing millions.
Now, creditors have been told it's unlikely they'll get back all their money.
Malcolm Shaw spoke to Claire Irving of St Catherine's Hospice in Crawley.
More money for region's hospices
Fourteen hospices in our region are to receive a share of £60m of government funding. Naomi House near Winchester is one of those which will benefit from the investment. The money will be used to create new spaces for patients, their families and carers.
Hospice helped by cremation donation
Metals sensitively retrieved to be recycled have helped a crematorium to raise funds for a Reading hospice.
West Berkshire Crematorium joined a not-for-profit recycling scheme to which they donate any metals and implants which remain after a cremation.
Money raised through the recycling goes to charities. Families of loved ones who have been cremated at crematorium, near Thatcham, are asked to give consent to the scheme.
A spokesman for the crematorium said: "These metals are sensitively removed following each cremation and are sent for recycling on a not-for-profit basis.
"Annually, we receive funds arising from the sale of these metals, which we donate to deserving local registered charities."

Unthinkable by Nacy Werlin
Posted by Kierra at 6:00 AM Saturday, September 28, 2013
Fenella was the first Scarborough girl to be cursed, hundreds of years ago, and she has been trapped in the faerie realm ever since, forced to watch generations of daughters try to break this same faerie curse that has enslaved them all. But now Fenella's descendant, Lucy, has accomplished the impossible and broken the curse, so why is Fenella still trapped in Faerie?
In her desperation, Fenella makes a deal with the faerie queen: If she can accomplish three acts of destruction, she will be free, at last, to die. What she doesn't realize is that these acts must be aimed at her own family and if she fails, the consequences will be dire, for all of the Scarborough girls.
How can she possibly choose to hurt her own cherished family not to mention the new man whom she's surprised to find herself falling in love with? But if she doesn't go through with the tasks, how will she manage to save her dear ones?
Goodreads Summary
Fenella was stolen from her family and saw the boy she loved killed. Then, Fenella and all her
descendants were cursed because she could not solve a riddle given to her by her captor. Fenella
watched generations of daughters fail at solving the riddle, after which they were forced to join her in
the land of the faeries. After hundreds of years, Lucy was able to break the curse with the help of her
family, and Fenella is now free. With her freedom, Fenella wants to die. Her desperation to die leads
her to make a foolish contract with the Faerie Queen. Fenella will lose her immortality if she carries out three destructive tasks against her family. Should Fenella fail, she and her family will pay a horrible price. To fulfill the agreement she foolishly entered into, Fenella will hurt the people she loves and the man she is beginning to care about.
Nancy Werlin is a master storyteller. Her talent for creating complex characters and
extraordinary situations is enviable. Every book Werlin has written, I have loved and reread numerous times. Teen readers will feel empathy for Fenella and cheer for her as she battles her doubts, fears, and past.

I really loved Impossible! And also Rules of Survival. I totally agree that she is an amazing storyteller. I saw this at Barnes and Noble the other day and I just got so excited because I am a sucker for backstories. Thanks for the review, next time I go, I might just buy it!
Berenice said...:
I really want to read this one. I read Impossible back in 2010 and I really, really liked it. I might just have to re-read it before I read this one. I love this cover! Thanks for your review =).

This just goes to show that you should never say never (except when it comes to Fig Newtons) because Agnetha Faltskog told German paper Welt Am Sontag as reported by NME , that there's a sliver of a chance that ABBA could get back together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Waterloo."
ABBA - Agnetha, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad won the Eurovision contest with "Waterloo" in 1974. After having approximately 500 hit songs they broke up in 1982. Their marriages - Agnetha and Björn and Anni-Frid and Benny - broke up too and it was all very sad.
Agnetha is the one who has repeatedly said she wouldn't be part of a reunion, but now she's saying, "Of course it's something we're thinking about. There seem to be plans to do something to mark this anniversary in some way. I can't say at this point what will come of them."
However, Swedish paper Dagens Nyheter , writes that when Benny was asked about Agnetha's statement, he texted, "Det är nog bäst om du frågar henne. Jag tänker att jag nog borde veta om det vore aktuellt." If my Swedish is correct (and please let me know if it isn't) that translates as "It's probably best if you ask her. I think I'd probably know if it was happening."
So, you know, that puts a damper on things.

THERE are more people with black and white television licences in Bournemouth than any other town in the south west, according to the latest figures.
TV Licensing records, released yesterday, reveal 37 black and white licences are held in Bournemouth and 15 in neighbouring Poole.
Iain Logie Baird, associate curator at the National Media Museum – and grandson of television inventor John Logie Baird – said: "Despite more than 25 million people opting for a colour TV licence in the UK, it may be some time before the black and white television disappears completely from our living rooms."
At the turn of the millennium there were 212,000 black and white licences issued nationally, but that number has shrunk today to just 11,550.
The cost of a black and white television licence remains frozen at £49 until at least 2016.

All reports indicate that the owners and players are on the one-yard line when it comes to ending the current lockout and bringing a new collective bargaining agreement and full season to fruition, but as the fans of every bad team knows, possessions on the one-yard line provide no scoring guarantees. There are still several outstanding issues to be dealt with, which is why the owners and players will meet with mediator Judge Arthur Boylan on Tuesday (and possibly Monday) in Washington, D.C or New York.
Of course, the expectation and overriding hope is that the final mechanics of a new CBA will be done in time for the owners to ratify it at their next meetings in Atlanta on Thursday, but there's no sure thing at this point — especially since the players have put two specific issues on the table in a fourth-quarter move.
According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com, the NFLPA is now asking for $320 million in benefits that were lost in the 2010 uncapped season, and a provision in the new CBA that would allow teams to use the franchise tag just once on any player. Currently, teams are allowed to franchise players three straight seasons, with increasing one-year salaries in each instance.
Other issues include:
The settlement of the Brady v. NFL lawsuit. As Mortensen reports, it's possible that this could include no free-agent restrictions on all named plaintiffs, including Peyton Manning, Logan Mankins, Drew Brees, and Vincent Jackson.
The damages in the lockout insurance case. When Judge David Doty ruled in favor of the players in the case that proved the owners were strong-arming several television networks to set up a lockout slush fund, $4 billion in TV money went into escrow, and both sides are awaiting a ruling from Doty on final damages. It's entirely possible that the players' last-minute request for lost benefits is reflective of the fact that the owners would rather not find out what's behind Doty's "Door #1" when it comes to damages. Doty has generally ruled in favor of the players, and the owners were caught red-handed in trying to illegally fund an extended work stoppage.
The opt-out language of the deal. The estimation is that the new CBA will last 10 years, but the owners opted out of the last CBA after just two years. Who will be allowed to do so in the new CBA, under what circumstances, and after how many years?
Workmen's compensation issues are also on the table, as are the final nature of preseason workouts from a full-contact perspective. Reports indicate that two-a-days will effectively be eliminated, with walkthroughs replacing those second daily contact drills. The extent to which this will happen is still subject to negotiation.
So, the process is still complex, but this is no time to get discouraged. Both sides have made enormous progress in the last three weeks, and barring something really bizarre happening, there isn't enough left to deal with to scuttle a deal in time for a full season. These remaining negotiating points must be dealt with, and there may be a few more things to pop up as a matter of gamesmanship, but it's a reasonable certainty that we're experiencing the last full weekend of the lockout.

To his credit, Chris did admit later in the ep that Lorelai was right. It's not so unusual for a parent to be defensive about his or her child when someone criticizes. Lorelai was delicate in what she said, she didn't really do anything wrong, but it can be an emotional touchy subject. Chris realized later there was a major problem and they talked about it like mature adults.

I started to go back and read what everyone had said about a particular seen and then just decided to put my 2 cents in anyway. I sort of disagree with Rory getting upset and breaking up with Logan here. A few episodes ago, in "the perfect dress" and actually even before that, the one at Thanksgiving, when Honor Huntzberger called Rory during Thanksgiving and dropped the bomb on Rory, Rory knew that Logan considered them broken up. Why is she still using that as an excuse. She knew it!!! I understand getting upset about JUST now finding out what happened during the break up, but you have admitted to Logan, several times in fact that you knew he considered you broken up. Honor called her at Thanksgiving and said that she nearly threw a lamp at him because she kept pushing him about where Rory was so that he told her that they had broken up. Then, outside her door when he said "I love You", she said to him, "you broke up with me, through your sister". She called him a coward "you're a coward, mister life and death brigade can't even break up with his girlfriend". He said he only told her that to get her to stop bugging him, but admitted that he meant it. Then, she repeat that they were no longer in a relationship, when she said" if you can't take the drama you should not be in a relationship, which you are not so everything is good". She told Paris when she assigned everyone their topics at the daily news, when Logan walked in, they are no longer together, they broke up. So, how can she say that he cheated on her, she has already admitted, to Paris, Logan, and her therapist that they were broken up. I understand that she was upset about finding out what happened when they were apart, I almost cried but to say that he cheated, I am sorry I have to agree with logan, they were not together. No matter at what point she found out, she knew they were broken up before she found out what he did. You can't turn around and say to be broken up you have to tell the other person, he knows that his sister told her. she was just really hurt to hear that her boyfriend, whom she loves, had been with other girls. Anyone would be. Logan should have told her before getting to that wedding what he had done during their separation, he knew what kind of girls they were and should have known, or at least should have thought about the possibilty of the fact that they would have been left alone with her and it would ge out. But, he is a guy and they don't always think that far ahead. I believe Logan loves her and she does love him but she was just hurt to find out that way. I agree with Logan a little about not telling her and his reasons for not telling her, she would be hurt, upset and angry, but like I said above, going to that wedding and being around them and not have Rory go in prepared, he was asking for some sort of bad reaction. I think instead of her going right back home, she should have taken a little time by herself, with Logan knowing it to come to terms with it. Instead, she goes right back and then takes off without him knowing and then it festers in her for a while until tragedy strikes and then she realizes that she could have spent her last days being mad at him and not speaking and then it is over because it now seems silly in the bigger picture. You know she really loves him. Sorry, I hit on a few other episodes there, but they have all aired so I guess it is okay. I just really wanted to get that out.

Oh Logan, you screwed up boy!
He cheated on Rory with not one but a bunch of girls during their, no his so-called break-up. Idiot!
Especially after Rory layed the smacketh down in Yale on a bunch of those Ivy Leaguers.
Poor Paris and Doyle... they broke up... Doyle gets drunk and accidentally gives Rory a hickey while wearing her coat. Yes, we men suck ass!
Gil singing "Hollaback Girl" is hilarious... way better than Gwen Stefani's version. Zach proposing to Lane and she says Yes!!! Yay, her reaction afterwards is funny. Joel doing the tambourine solo was cool. He's talented.
Gigi... THAT CHILD IS EVIL!!!! EEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
Oh, I can't wait for Virtual Gilmore Girls Season 8 Season Finale... I hope that Lorelai and Luke announce the arrival of the first Gilmore-Danes baby.
This is all Sherry's fault for leaving Chris like that, no wonder that child is out of control. Yet, he's partially at fault for spoiling her.

text: Yep, if Baltimore had taken him at 32 they wouldn't have be criticized. If Dallas had stayed at 18 and taken Reid, they would have been criticized for reaching on him. But if San Francisco, moves up and selects him at 18 (giving up a 3rd) rounder in the process, they are smart. Dallas gets criticized for passing on Floyd, then moving back to 31 (getting a third rounder in the process) to "reach" for an OL they could have had in the 2nd round. But New York and Chicago also pass on Floyd and reach for OL's they could have had in the second round (and they don't even get the extra 3rd rounder), and nobody has a problem with what they did. Notice any patterns here?

Track of the week
The Strokes
Juicebox (Rough Trade)
To be quite clear: this is not the old Strokes. Not cute, a bit bizarre, at times kind of like (and no one ever said this about a popular record) the Jesus Lizard, this is a hard and awkward single. However well-disguised, though, the qualities of this band - particularly the passion of singer Julian Casablancas and some terrific guitar invention - are still present and correct in this oddball comeback. The highest recommendation, though, is that in a time of softly-softly rock, this is a band not trying particularly hard to be liked - and here that's a policy that makes them pretty much irresistible.
Good Clean Fun (Domino)
The last five years have seen indie rock become a much hipper place. Clearlake, however, are bloody-mindedly indie as it was in the old money: all pale, male, and failure. But marooned on their lonely island, the band have devised a splendid isolation for themselves, and Good Clean Fun is a product of that. A hybrid of Stooges and Spiritualized providing a backbone for Jason Pegg's dolorous vocal, this is hell-bent on self-destruction - and a weirdly good time is had by all.
Franz Ferdinand
Walk Away (Domino)
Franz abandon their usual Weimar stomping and mellow out a bit here. Even with the pace slackened, Walk Away is Franz Ferdinand all over in that it succeeds less by tune and more by force of character. Here, then, we have a vaguely sad, but also strangely self-confident sounding record. Cool, but it's hard not to think that in the future people will view this band a bit like we now view Reeves and Mortimer. Sort of: "Yeah, it was clever. But maybe you had to be there."
Twisted Transistor (Virgin)
Eventually, even nu metal gets old. So with the soul bared, the "issues" dealt with, and one of the guitarists left to become a Christian, what's a band like Korn to do? Interestingly, they go straight into the enemy territory, to collaborate with pop production trio the Matrix, usually be found doing their thing with Avril Lavigne. This is certainly a scarier band now, but that may be because I find scary any record where the cover shows a horse wearing a dressing gown menacing a boy in a crown.
Katie Melua
I Cried For You (Dramatico)
Never been sure whether you say her name like "mellower", or to rhyme with "manure". Both thoughts get you into the general ball park with this from Katie, the singer who has made off with Nora Jones's crown as queen of mum-rock. Slower than her usual mildly boho mumbling, this ballad is weirdly retro - being reminiscent of that point in 1980s movies where the announcement of an unfavourable cancer prognosis is followed by a montage of happier times.

The Personal Legacy of Joan Steiner
Dr. Joan Steiner, who passed away on March 26, will be long remembered by the students and colleagues she worked with over more than thirty years. Now, through an extraordinary gift to the Library, Steiner's dedication to Drew and to her students will be felt by students and researchers yet to come. Steiner's gift of over one million dollars will go to the Book Endowment Fund and to the purchase of materials related to the university's African American studies program. "As a long-serving faculty member, Joan Steiner spent a significant portion of her life giving both time and wisdom to Drew and to several generations of its students," said University President Robert Weisbuch. "It is clear that her final act of generosity will ensure the continuity of her support for a university that meant so much to her."
Dr. Karla Simcikova Kovalova G'2004
Assistant Professor of American Literature, University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic
The first time I met Professor Joan E. Steiner, she was sitting in the corridor of the English department, outside Professor Geraldine Smith-Wright's office. Since she had already been retired by the time I came to Drew, I did not know who she was. But as we began to talk, it became clear to me that whoever she was, she was, above all, a person with a deep love for African American literature. The passion with which she discussed her views of the few books we briefly discussed then left a strong impression on me, and it seemed only natural to ask her, a year later, to consider "stepping out" of her retirement to be a reader for my dissertation on Alice Walker. Her acceptance marked the beginning of our growing friendship, a special gift I will always cherish.
No words can express adequately the depth of my gratitude to Professor Steiner. Over the years, she taught me much more than the rudiments of English language and essay structure. (Being a non-native speaker, my writing certainly provided her with quite a few opportunities to mark in red). She taught me the art of clear, concise prose, devoid of what she called "a verbal diarrhea," and the importance of "letting go of a paragraph" that may seem "brilliant" but "totally disrupts the flow of the text and simply must go." Her high standards, invaluable criticism, and brilliant editing were instrumental in my growth as a scholar; her unceasing encouragement and support provided me with a glimpse of what it means to be a teacher who nurtures and sustains.
When I left Drew, we never losttouch with each other. Although separated by the Atlantic Ocean, we remained close through bi-weekly phone conversations and continued to share about our lives and the interests we had in common: namely African American literature, Drew, and politics. Our relationship grew into a strong friendship based on mutual respect and love, the depth of which could not have been affected by any distance. She cared deeply about my professional life, sending me newspaper clippings, articles, and books pertinent to my area of research, providing me support for the publication of my books. She celebrated my engagement, wedding, and giving birth to a daughter as important, life enriching moments of happiness and looked forward to coming to the Czech Republic to meet my new family. Her sudden departure from this world ended our plans, filling my heart with sadness. I miss her terribly.
An exemplary mentor, a great source of inspiration, a remarkable human being, and a wonderful friend, Professor Joan Steiner lived a life that was not part of a Morrison novel but is a story to pass on.

Democratization by Elections? Opposition Weakness in Africa

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A judge Wednesday morning sentenced DeAngelo Thomas to life in prison for killing a Navy chief petty officer last year.
Prosecutors said 40-year-old David Gilbert was killed in April 2010 when he came home and found Thomas burglarizing his apartment. Gilbert was fatally shot in front of his girlfriend and 3-year-old daughter, who had to be carried out of the apartment over her father's dead body.
Thomas, 31, was convicted of first-degree murder in February.
The jury deadlocked 6-6 in the penalty phase of that case, which usually means the defendant will be sentenced to life in prison. Prosecutors requested that Thomas be given the death penalty anyway because of the heinous nature of the killing.
Circuit Judge Jeff Morrow was considering that request when he died in March. Circuit Judge Michael Weatherby was assigned to take over the case. The sentencing was delayed several times to give Weatherby time to review the case.
Before announcing the sentence, Weatherby told Thomas this was one of the "stupidest killings he had ever heard about."
"I'm happy for the family it?s over, because I think they needed closure one way or the other," prosecutor Jeff Moody said. "Am I satisfied? Candidly, it will always be my belief that justice was never fully done on this because I believe DeAngelo Thomas deserved the death penalty. I feel sorry and bad for the family that we were not able to obtain that for them.?
The victim's mother said there is some comfort in the sentence, and that the process is complete.
"We can tell the children that he won?t ever get out to hurt anyone else," Wilmarie Gilbert said after the sentencing. ?He won?t get out anymore."

Rod For My Son to Take To Louisiana
I'm going to give a report of our 5 day vacation to Dunsmuir, CA fishing on the Upper Sacramento River later, but in the mean time I have a question. Let's just say my son has fallen in love with fly fishing.
The damn kid didn't catch as many fish as me, but he caught the two biggest fish. More on that later.
While on our trip, the guide brought out a TFO Finesse 8' 9" 4wt that I used for a bit while he was rigging up my Sage 486 LL. I liked that Finesse so much better than my Sage that I went into the Ted Fay Fly Shop that afternoon and bought one and used it the rest of the trip.
Due to the fact that I have some certificates to a local fly shop where we live, an old rod to trade in, and a glass rod blank that one of the employees in the shop wants I have enough to get in another TFO Finnesse for nearly free, if not completely free. So I'm going there today to pick up a 6wt. Also liked the Finesse, much better than the Redington CT 6wt I purchased recently.
Would the Redington CT 9' 6wt be a rod my son could use in Louisiana or is the action to light?
-Tom Wilson
