"Chooseday's" Nov. 2nd ballot picks
Watch this and see if you don't agree, "Those voices don't speak for the rest of us".
As JT Harris asked the crowd of about 150 people waiting to see US Senate candidate Ron Johnson at the Waukesha County Republican Headquaters Monday night, How many of you are asking God for one more chance to turn this around? My hand shot up as did most in the room.
Then JT asked, How many have been to a Tea Party? Again, hands waved in the air.
How many have been to a Town Hall? The room was full of upraised hands.
It was pretty obvious that this crowd didn't believe the voices of the Liberal Progressives featured in the above clip spoke for them.
I believe the majority of voters tomorrow will vote to "turn this around", but one never knows until the last ballot is counted.
As I mentioned, I already cast my votes, all on the Republican side of the ballot, and voted Yes on the Transportation Fund Advisory Referendum.
Why are they all Republican? Because the Republicans are Pro-Life. They are also fiscally conservative, against wasteful spending on trains, want to reverse ObamaCare, are pro business and pro voter ID, and are more inclined to adhere to the US Constitution...to name just a few reasons.
My Sept. 7th Primary Ballot Picks post goes into more detail on why I chose the candidates I picked. Posts relating to each race will be listed below the individual race; generic ones are listed at the bottom of the post.
Here is the list of my ballot picks for Nov. 2 in the order they appear on the ballot.
Governor & Lt. Governor: Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch
For shame, Tom Barrett, Scott Walker SUPPORTS Stem Cell research!
Walker rally made political hay, ad gained national attention
Lt. Gov. candidate Rebecca Kleefisch on Fox & Friends
How is Barrett "knee deep" in sewer water yet squeaky clean? JournoList?
Attorney General: JB Van Hollen
Secretary of State: David D. King I heard David King speak at the April 15th Madison Tea Party.
State Treasurer: Kurt W. Schuller
United States Senator: Ron Johnson As one of the many who encouraged Ron to enter the race back in early April, he is everything I had hoped he would be as a person and more. It is gratifying to see him run such a fine tuned campaign.
Need a reason to vote Ron Johnson? Ask Michelle Obama
Ron Johnson, Feingold virtually tied in poll" November can't come fast enough!
Ron Johnson enters US Senate race
Ron Johnson would be my ideal candidate
Run, Johnson, Neumann, Grothman, Kanavas, Leibham, RUN! Spare us from Leinenkugel
Sen. Feingold turned deaf ear to 97.5% at Listening Session
Representative in Congress District 5: F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. As Congressman Sensenbrenner mentioned at the Ron Johnson rally Monday night, When a nation goes off course, the people are there to right it. Today's Tea Party movement is a good example of the people rising up to right the ship.
State Senator District 5: Leah Vukmir Leah Vukmir has been a solid conservative voice in the Assembly, soon she will be in the State Senate!
What a whopper! "Jim Sullivan supports law enforcement, Vukmir does not" Unbelievable
How sickening. Jim Sullivan & supporters slam Leah Vukmir with untrue attacks
Wisconsin Assembly Update: Working night & day The RTA was dealt a severe blow by Rep. Leah Vukmir
Senator Jim Sullivan's Town Hall.....GRILLING! OUCH!
Representative to the Assembly District 14: Dale Kooyenga Since Dale is running unopposed, CONGRATULATIONS is in order. Cast your vote for him anyway; he will be another solid conservative voice in Madison.
Wisconsin 14th Assembly Forum tonight in Tosa with Kooyenga...
Sheriff: Daniel Trawicki
Also on November's ballot, a Transportation Fund Advisory Referendum
Dem signs conspicuously absent from known supporting households
Wisconsin's primary is 3 weeks away, who are you voting for?
Another local source for candidate info would be Randy's Picks for 2010 Nov. 2 Elections.
Do vote early in the day if you are able. Sometimes long lines develop near closing time. According to election law, under normal conditions, unless you are in line at 8pm, you will not be permitted to vote.
City of Brookfield residents in District 7, remember you now vote outside your district at St. Luke's Catholic Church on Greenfield Ave. and Davidson Road.
Tomorrow morning I am off to do some poll watching in the heart of Milwaukee. I will be interested in seeing how turnout compares there with what I am used to in Brookfield.
Tomorrow evening it's the Country Springs Hotel for me to watch the election results and hear the speechifying. It is going to be a l-o-n-g but exciting day..
Election Day 2010
I'm sitting here watching the evening news just prior to 6PM enjoying every word of the commontators. They are so predictable. Obama's policies and legislation is damaging the country they say. Much of it was what he promised in his campaign.and now people don't like it. Congress is gridlocked and can't pass any bipartisan legislation. It's long been my position that the Congress represents their constituency . Thus, based on the vote counts, the populace is just as divided as our representatives are. What can we expect from them? Probably another two years of gridlock.
Hold onto your hats, Whitefish Bay, the Trojans and Raiders are coming to town
Wednesday night members of the Wauwatosa East and West boys volleyball team probably had trouble sleeping. And it had nothing to do with the classes.
You see the Trojan and Raider boys volleyball teams will traveling to the Whitefish Bay Field House Thursday night to play a 7 p.m. WIAA Sectional Championship match. The winner goes to state next Friday and Saturday at the Wisconsin Lutheran College Fieldhouse.
The Walker, Johnson & Vukmir win was my political Triple Crown!
It isn't often I have had a night like Tuesday night; all 3 of my major candidates won. It was rather like winning the Triple Crown!
In horse racing, the Triple Crown is considered to be a great accomplishment: it is one horse winning 3 important races.
My political Triple Crown was having all 3 of my candidate choices win their individual race for Wisconsin Governor, United States Senator, and State Senator!
In addition to my trio of winners, there were sure thing winners such as Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner and unopposed 14th Assembly Representative Dale Kooyenga. That means for the first time that I can remember, most of my representatives are true Conservatives!
The faithful were gathered at the Country Springs Hotel in Pewaukee, watching election returns on the big screen, while we waited for Governor elect Scott Walker to show up. As they called each Republican gain from all those national races for Governor, U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and our statewide races for State Senate and Assembly, the crowd grew more excited. It was wonderful, way too hot and crowded, but wonderful just the same.
We all cheered when Ron Johnson was projected to be the winner of the U.S. Senate race. Since Johnson and Walker's numbers were much the same all evening, there was little doubt of the outcome of the Governor's race.
Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch warmed up the crowd, and Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner spoke too. Finally, it was the moment we all had been waiting for.
The crowd went wild when soon to be Governor Scott Walker came out. After a Happy Birthday serenade and him quipping this would be a tough birthday to top, he got serious and said, "First of all, I want to thank God. Not for this victory but for His grace to all of us..." The crowd heartily agreed. He also introduced the new slogan that would mark the Walker administration: Wisconsin is Open For Business.
The crowd thinned out a bit after that but the 3rd race of my Triple Crown still was not decided. While Scott Walker and Ron Johnson were ahead all evening, Leah Vukmir's returns seemed to take forever to come in. The first ones were worrisome, showing Sullivan at 61% and Vukmir at 39%, though I couldn't imagine that ever happening! (Closer scrutiny revealed only 8% of the vote was in--it must have all been from Milwaukee County.)
There was also a problem with some ballots in one district in Brookfield--the Vukmir/Sullivan race wasn't included. The problem was resolved but not before 20 voters had already cast their ballots without the 5th District State Senate race on it. Thankfully, those votes were not needed, and by the end of the evening, Leah Vukmir had won with 54% of the vote to Jim Sullivan's 45%.
For comparative number crunching from the vote totals I was able to find*, Leah Vukmir received 36,852 votes to Sullivan's 33,702, for a total of 70,554 votes. Back in 2006, Sullivan received 36,148 to Tom Reynolds' 33,686 for a total 69,834 votes. So this election had a higher turnout of 726 voters. (Make that 746 if those Brookfield ballots had had the State Senate race on them?) Vukmir's margin was higher too with her earning 3,150 more votes than her opponent Sullivan. Compare that to Sullivan's 2006 margin of 2,462 votes over Reynolds. So Leah Vukmir's win was 688 votes stronger than Sullivan's 2006 victory where he captured 50.6% of the vote.
Our nation and state still have a long way to go to reversing our debt load, reducing the size of government, and restoring our liberty, but at least the first step of that journey has been taken.
Just be aware, we cannot go back to business as usual, ignoring what goes on in Madison and Washington D.C. As I often say, a Constitutional Republic does not run on autopilot! Going to a Tea Party, calling your Congressman, or going to a Town Hall is not a one time thing. It is up to us to keep those we elect accountable to us. But for now, I am breathing a sigh of relief and as JT Harris said on Monday, I'm thanking God for this one more chance to turn this around.
*Some sources quote the percentages as being 52% - 48%, which works out with the vote totals presented here. Other sources state the percentages as 54% to 45 or 46% with no vote totals. Regardless, Vukmir won!
"STATUS" of Rising Hesitations
"STATUS" of Greenback Gardening
The Adoption Guarantee Facility.
Elmbrook Humane Society (EBHS) was founded in 1964. Our founders had no idea how much EBHS would need to grow and evolve in order to help the increasing number of animals and residents in our community. Animal welfare has changed a great deal over the past 45 years and there is a need to focus on the issue of senseless euthanasia faced by adult animals, especially cats and large dogs, right here in Wisconsin.
Save the herbs
Last year, I decided I would try to save a few herb plants over the winter in the house.
My experiment was 2 fold: to have some fresh herbs over the winter months and to save the price of buying the plants again the next summer.
So I dug up the plants from my garden and plunked them into a 3 Cup container. (Larger would have been better.)
Outside of placing them in a sunny location (east exposure) and watering occasionally, that was the extent of the tender loving care I gave them.
While they didn't exactly thrive, they did survive. The photo was taken last spring just before putting them back in the garden. They also supplied me with fresh rosemary and the occasional spearmint leaves. The creeping thyme I found did not need to be wintered in the house; it survived outside just fine.
This year I brought in the rosemary and mint again, and I will try a pot of parsley too.
My other gardening experiment this year will be to move a parsley patch close to my back door and cover with a translucent plastic bin when the temperatures head to the teens and lower. Between the warmth radiating from the south side of the house and the hardiness of parsley, I should have fresh parsley for Thanksgiving stuffing and other culinary delights all winter long.
So what do you have to lose? The weather should still hold for today and tomorrow. Get out the trowel and save those herbs!
Tosa East spikers must avoid letdown at state
Wauwatosa East playing the in WIAA State Boys Volleyball Tournament is old hat for the Red Raiders, who are making their fifth straight trip this weekend.
This is their sixth overall appearance, but they have appeared in the tournament a few other times when it was not officially sponsored by the WIAA. The tourney resumed in 2000 after an 18-year absence because of low participation from 1983-1999.
It's Veterans Day, say thank you to a soldier today
Today is Veterans Day, a day set aside "to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans." So today, if you know a Veteran, be sure to say thank you for your service. I also think it appropriate to say thank you to those currently serving their country.
The USO offers a very easy way to express your thanks today up until Thanksgiving. All you have to do is click the link and send a message. You can designate who you want it to go to: active duty, veteran, family, etc. (They wouldn't mind a donation to the USO too.)
For people of my vintage and older, Veterans Day used to be known as Armistice Day and was celebrated on November 11th to mark the day World War I ended in 1918.
The website Military.com gives a great history of the holiday along with an explanation of the purpose of Memorial Day. There is a lot of confusion regarding the Armistice Day, Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
In a nutshell, Armistice Day was a day "dedicated to the cause of world peace" and to honor those who served in WWI. Then in 1954, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a day to honor vets of all wars. However, the purpose of Memorial Day was to honor those "who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle". Deceased veterans who died as a result of natural causes are to be remembered on Veterans Day, as evidenced by the field of flags at many cemeteries.
So THANK YOU, Veterans, your service to our country is appreciated.

Volunteers Give From the Heart
A day in the life of a volunteer is like none other. We look forward to sharing our time and talents for the good of humanity. Some have more time. Others have more talents. But each is willing to take time from their busy lives to help in worthy causes of which there are so many in every community. Volunteering can be done on a very local, a state or national level depending on each person's interest.
Our Last Spartan
"Go tell the Spartans, those that passeth by;
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie".
Backwards We Go!
Now it's not just the trains that Scott Walker has in his bomb sights, but a number of ongoing administrative and public health projects and delay of a power plant project under Walker, that will end up, much delayed, as a stinking coal -burning plant. High speed rail is an emerging, high tech industry that other countries are embracing. Make no mistake, this is a long-range project that may take 25 year to complete just as the interstate. And as the interstate highways made our transit sytem more efficient, so too is high speed rail doing the same thing fifty years later with fuel shortages and prices fifteen times higher. We are giving up almost a billion, that's right folks, a billion dollars that was apropriated by the feds, as I recall, well over ten years ago. This money won't go back into the pot. It will go to another state and Mr. Walker will make us all look like fools. For decades, Wisconsin has been at the bottom of the list of states in the annual amounts of federal reimbursement. High-speed rail is a long term goal just as was the interstate system. The $910 million should just ab out carry us over until Mr. Walker creates all of those 250,000 jobs in three years!
Important: Call Gov. Elect Walker: No High Speed Rail! UPDATE
Weigh in, become part of the public record against High Speed Rail. Call Governor Elect Scott Walker's Transition Office and register your sentiments on the train. This is important because it could help with diverting the $810 million train money to go toward Wisconsin road projects instead.
The phone number is: 608-261-9200. Call until you reach a live person.
This may take some effort as they have very few phone lines going to this government office, but make the call. The issue is too important to leave any doubt as to where you stand.
Lobbyist groups are staging pro train rallies this weekend.
Siemans would be one such participant. They have a lot at stake here since they make trains. (The photo left was taken at the Orlando airport.)
Wisconsin cannot afford high speed rail now and it certainly cannot afford to replace it all in 15 years according to Federal safety mandates, so make that call!
H/T Vicki McKenna today, end of 1st hour.
UPDATE: I called about 10 times this morning but always got a busy signal, voice mail, or leave a return phone number message. Then I tried again this afternoon at 3:10pm and got through right away. I stated I wanted to go on the public record of being strongly opposed to high speed rail and as requested, gave my name and email address to the woman in the office. She said they will continue taking calls on this as long as people call. That means in the days, weeks, and months ahead. So make that call!
Weekend Developments
Great work by the Baas family and the other participants for their work on recycling. All of us can participate in recycling to a lesser degree . Our household has been recycling for perhaps ten years without any conscious effort. The Baas' included composting in their efforts which is really admirable but involves walking outside in the winter to feed the composter. My point is: All of us can accomplish about 75 % of the recycling without composting. As a two person household, we accumulate about 15 pounds of paper products a week with junk mail, packaging cardboard, daily newspapers, and toilet paper rolls as well. You can also unlist yourselves from unwanted catalogs. Just Google to www.catalogchoice.org.
A colossal waste of taxpayers money came up again this weekend. It's called voter ID. It might prevent a dozen or so cases of voter fraud in Milwaukee and maybe another dozen around the state. Spend millions of dollars to possibly prevent a few fraudulent vote-maybe. Those with new-found political power who promised to save our money are ready to squander millions for nothing and disenfranchise probably thousands with a new bureaucracy.
Fun World fixtures auction set for Saturday; building still listed for sale
Fun World, a family entertainment center in the Town of Brookfield, has closed after its last day of business on Sunday.
In August, I reported that owner Richard "Bart" Jahn, who has operated Fun World since it opened 16 years ago, planned to sell the business. Fun World is profitable, Jahn said, but he's ready to retire and spend more time at his vacation home in northern Wisconsin.
Planning a trip?
There is no way anyone can take better care of my best four-legged friend than me. (Said like a true parent.) So when I was faced with an overseas trip to China, I was thrown into a state of panic. Where will Skippie (said four-legged friend) stay? I was ready to schedule him at a kennel and ask for his forgiveness upon my return, when a dear friend rescued me and offered to watch my beloved for two weeks. Great!
Once again our shelter in inundated with kittens of all sizes and shapes.
Shelter seeks donations for care
It has been nearly a month since eight puppies landed on the doorstep of the Elmbrook Humane Society, some after being left in the trash.

Seeds of Solar Power 'Gardens' Being Planted in Minnesota
Bring Me The News
A new state law encouraging the growth of alternative energy sources has spurred several proposals to create solar power "gardens" in Minnesota, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. The law, which was enacted last year, allows independent businesses and groups to set up arrays of solar panels and then sell the power directly to local customers. Such arrangements would allow consumers to purchase solar power without having to install solar panels on their homes.

Solar Power Captures Investors' Attention
Despite all the excitement surrounding solar energy over the last couple of decades, the technology has yet to go mainstream. However, that is slowly starting to change. Perhaps the biggest reason for the slow spread of solar energy has been the high cost associated with converting a household to take advantage of solar energy.
Taking the Spotlight: Solar Energy
Distributed generation in the form of wind, landfill gas, and cogeneration got a mention, but solar by far is attracting the most attention from cooperatives and legislators, a panel of experts told the co-op crowd. The panelists also informed co-ops that distributed generation is coming. They were told that it is best to get in front of it and that co-ops should develop their own DG projects.
Even though they were overshadowed by the Senate's historic decision to eliminate the use of the filibuster when it comes to most Presidential nominees – the so-called "nuclear option" – there were some major developments this week at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that are critically important to solar and renewable energy.
The rapid growth of rooftop solar has fueled an important debate about the future of our electric power system. And for good reason. Affordable, onsite solar power—aka distributed generation (DG)—offers electric customers something they've never had before: choice of where their power comes from and control over costs. The implications for the electric power system are profound and transformational as they point to a more decentralized future.
Public Service, the state's largest power utility, to reduce compensation for the energy Arizonians produce on their rooftops, and all eyes are on that sunny state. Distributed generation offers concrete benefits to all ratepayers. For the utilities, distributed generation reduces investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure – delaying or eliminating the need to build new, expensive and often polluting power plants.
Next week's global climate talks in Warsaw, Poland, need to be guided by a new sense of urgency. After more than 20 years of talking about climate change, it's time for the nations of the world to start putting a meaningful plan in place to fight it.
Ohio's renewable energy initiative, set in 2008, has been an economic and clean energy driver, lowering prices, creating local jobs and spurring investment. But the state senate is considering a bill, SB 5hat would dramatically lower the renewable energy requirements and seems to make compliance virtually optional.

For the second year in a row, the Solar Means Business report ranks the top brands in the U.S. based on the amount of solar power installed at their warehouses, stores and facilities.
The top twenty-five corporate users named in the Solar Means Business report reads like a 'Who's Who' of the most successful corporations in America. These 25 companies produce enough power on their own to power 73,400 American homes.

Washington, D.C. – The countdown has begun. In just 10 days, Solar Power International 2013 (SPI '13), North America's premier business-to-business event for professionals in solar energy, will provide a platform for discussing a wide variety of trends, new product introductions and critically important issues.
With no end in sight to the federal government shutdown – and worries mounting by the minute about its impact on the U.S. economy – what can the private sector do to help spur job creation and economic growth in the future? Here's one good idea: The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has just released a comprehensive new report outlining ways to create 50,250 new American jobs and save more than $61 billion in future energy costs by expanding the use of innovative and cost-effective solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems across the nation.

VANDALS caused thousands of dollars worth of damage at Wallsend and Stockton, leaving a football club and many residents counting the cost yesterday.
Wallsend Football Club has been left with nowhere to play after its headquarters was severely damaged by a hooligan driving a car onto Wallsend No.2 Oval late on Saturday or early Sunday morning.
Secretary Kim Lockwood said the Wallsend club had 19 junior teams, two all-age and one over-35s side that would be without a ground for about three to four weeks because of the damage.
Goal posts at both ends of the club's main ground were smashed and the car trashed the majority of the field, leaving tyre tracks 40 to 50 centimetres deep in some sections.
President Ross Hicks said repairs would cost the club more than $2000.
He said the field was the club's main training venue after lights were installed last year.
''We've spoken to police and they're chasing up what they can but no one reported seeing or hearing anything throughout the night,'' Mr Hicks said.
More than 20 Stockton residents suffered extensive damage to their homes after a graffiti rampage through the streets late on Friday night or early Saturday morning.
Resident Alison Webster woke on Saturday to find a laneway-facing the side of her King Street home covered in tags and scrawl.
''I woke up and my little boy said 'mummy someone's drawn pictures on our house','' she said.
Discovering graffiti, Miss Webster reported the crime.
''When I was on the phone to police I looked, it's on along the house, all along the fence line and down the lane, about 20 houses or so.
''It's thousands of dollars worth of damage.''
Miss Webster said the trail of destruction was across two streets.
She said she was irate about the vandals' recklessness.
''The community just doesn't need it,'' she said. ''This whole lane was just trashed.''
Miss Webster said she believed that the vandals, if caught, should be made to rectify the damage.
''I want all the owners and tenants to watch them clean it up,'' she said.

Excellent – Staff was wonderful and accomodating, the room was clean, bed was comfortable, even the "city view" was still nice. I just don't recommend having breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a plus and the service was fantastic, but the scrambled eggs were tasteless and too wet. Also, for a chain like the Sheraton, I would think the dampness and the smell could easily be taken cared of (as compared to a small inn). Still, I'd go back for a reasonable rate.
nice facility – The hotel staff really seem to try to make your stay comfortable and pleasurable. The rooms were clean and realtively comfortable. The rooms with a beach view are very nice and overlook the pool as well.

Green Hosting
Many of Rochen's clients have become more concerned with environmental and green issues in recent years and we want to do what we can to help address these without compromising the quality of service Rochen has become renowned for throughout the industry. At the same time we wanted to do this in a genuine and honest way as there are also many critics surrounding these types of issues. Our green hosting initiatives consist of both carbon offsetting as well as improvements in technology and business processes.
Carbon Offsetting
Rochen has partnered with Green Mountain Energy, the leading provider of cleaner energy and carbon offsetting solutions, to purchase carbon credits to offset the emissions of our hosting operations. On behalf of Rochen Green Mountain will invest in renewable energy sources like wind and solar power as well as biomass facilities – many of which have been setup as a result of their initiatives. Rochen's funding will also provide support for reforestation projects through Green Mountain's relationship with the Pacific Forest Trust. Our emissions levels are reviewed annually and carbon credits adjusted accordingly.
Download our current Green Mountain Energy Certificate
Reduced Energy Consumption
While overall emissions may rise as our business grows, our long-term game plan is to actually reduce Rochen's emissions on a per client basis across our operations. This means that the carbon emissions generated by delivering service to a client today are less than they were a year ago and going into the future we hope to reduce them further. Many steps have already been taken on the technology front to achieve this such as investing in more expensive but far more power efficient computer processors, like Intel's latest Nehalem line of CPUs. Likewise, where in the past we would install sixteen 1GB RAM sticks in a server we will now install four 4GB RAM sticks instead, giving the same computing power but reducing power usage by around 30 watts per server. This adds up to a lot of savings across an entire data center. With the rising cost of electricity, reducing our energy consumption makes both business and environmental sense for Rochen.
Data Center Cooling Improvements
It is a little known fact in hosting that for every amp of power used to run a server in a data center it takes on average another amp of power to run the climate control systems that cool it. Rochen has been working to reduce the amount of power consumed in our cooling operations in several different ways. Firstly, we have installed filler panels in all of our cabinet slots that are not actually filled by servers. This means all of the cold air is forced through the servers instead of passing through gaps above or below. It takes lot of energy to cool the air in a data center, especially in the summer months, so not passing all of the cool air through the servers is wasteful which is what the filler panels help to prevent. Secondly, our exclusive server hardware vendor, Supermicro, design the best rackmount system chassis available in terms of air flow design. By deploying servers with the best possible air flow it actually allows us to raise the ambient air temperature of data center floor by around two degrees Fahrenheit without compromising service in any way at all. By raising the floor temperature slightly we can reduce the load on the climate control systems. Lastly, we also invest heavily in other technologies to improve airflow and cooling like raised flooring with perforated tiles throughout the facility and efficient hot / cold isle cabinet layouts on the data center floor.
Recycling and Reducing Wastefulness
Where possible all of the packaging Rochen receives with new servers, switches and other items in is fully recycled. Vendors like Supermicro are also working to reduce the amount of packaging their servers require as well. Rochen works to reduce wastefulness by keeping printing to a minimum and requesting all invoices electronically from our vendors as well as issuing invoices electronically to our own clients as well.
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
Following the launch of our green hosting initiatives in November 2008, Rochen was contacted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) World Conservation Monitoring Centre. They were impressed with the practical and open steps Rochen had taken to be more environmentally friendly by offsetting carbon emissions, increasing the efficiency of our hosting operations and committing ourselves to continual improvement. The UNEP now hosts their Conservation Commons website with Rochen. You can visit the Conservation Commons site hosted by Rochen and learn more about their goals at: www.conservationcommons.net.
Green Hosting Seal
If you already host with Rochen you may place the Green Hosting Seal on your website to show your site visitors that you take environmental issues seriously and have taken steps to offset any emissions generated from the operation of your website. Rochen also have an unbranded seal available for reseller hosting customers to use upon request.

Create a nonstop line.
I decided to draw an Ood not sure why, I just like them so much. It wasn't easy, I made a lot of drafts first cause I wanted it to be a real nonstop line in the end, and it turn out pretty great in my opinion.
Não sei bem porque decidi fazer um Ood, mas eu gosto tanto deles. Não foi fácil, fiz vários rascunhos antes porque queria que no fim fosse realmente uma linha contínua, e acho que ficou muito bom.

Premium Quality. By choosing a premium quality flywheel like a SPEC Billet Steel flywheel for your Mustang GT, you'll enjoy driving it more and also have more peace of mind. SPEC flywheels are made to the highest standards for both performance and safety. These flywheels are are machined to a .001 tolerance (other brands are only made to .01) and designed and weighted for the perfect balance and surface to compliment your new clutch.
Protects Your Investment. When replacing your clutch you have two options: resurfacing your flywheel, or getting a new flywheel. Most times, getting a new flywheel is better than resurfacing, as the flywheel will dictate how well your clutch will perform, as well as how long it will last.
Rebuildable. A cheaper flywheel won't stay that way - SPEC's steel flywheels have a replaceable steel friction plate which makes this flywheel rebuildable. And this flywheel surface is also made from a special type of steel specifically designed to help your new clutch "bed in" properly and to promote superior grip - so this might just be the last flywheel you ever have to buy.
SFI Certified. If you're using this flywheel in high performance or racing applications, SFI Certification is critical so you can run your Pony at the track or strip. And it's great for peace of mind even in a daily driver - at higher RPMs, stock cast flywheels have been known to explode.
Please note that SPEC part# SF46S is the same as SPEC part# SF64S.

JERUSALEM — Yair Lapid, the charismatic former news anchor whose meteoric rise in Israel's election Tuesday has made him the key to the country's next ruling coalition, rode to success by tapping into a wave of social discontent that could define the agenda of the next Israeli government.
Lapid favors a return to negotiations with the Palestinians, but that was not what won him votes. His electoral appeal stemmed mostly from his image as a champion of Israel's struggling middle class. The focus of his centrist party's campaign was what many secular Israelis see as the inequity of exempting tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews from the draft so they can pursue religious studies with government stipends.

As I understand it, both Australasia and Oceania include Aus and NZ, obviously, but Oceania is a wider/bigger region that includes a number of other islands and countries. Australasia is a subset of Oceania.

Im guessing they may be going via continent as opposed to region
The list we have is - Nth America, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, Australia & the Outer Rim
Against Continents - Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Antarctica, & Australia. As we're not that big in Africa or Antartica it kind of matches
That being said, Australasia works only if we are not impinging on any others in Asia/Pacific group that are happy where they are, Oceania works for me also but if people have an issue with im happy with first suggestion.

Oceania is a known and used term (outside of FanForce) for the area -
Oceania is definitely growing on me... (Like a fungus)
I agree with Ashley, I've ALWAYS thought that Australasia refers to Australia and Asia, and I still have no idea what FanForce is.
Neimhaille's reference
referred to Oceania being used as a term as early as 1884... It has gravitas!
Until our next happy meeting!

Fan Force:
A lot of us had our history there before we came to the RL. It is based more on social events, no costume standards & no charity work in their working guidelines. So it's a different sort of SW club.
I don't mind Asia/Pacific either

How many active members do you have over there?
We've currently got 11 costumers on our books, but one base member is heading back to the US in a few months.
No wonder I couldn't find the outpost in the links... And Yep! That would be me; the guy heading back to the States.
Is there such thing as dual memberships? These guys gave me a home and I do plan to come back and visit too...

Well, with 11 members, you only need one more to go for a full base, under the charter revision. I've managed to find or make several new costumes/ers in the last couple of months, surely one member is not that hard an obstacle to overcome?
Do you have 501st over there, are there any clones/Tusken/jawas etc that could go for dual membership?
Until our next happy meeting!

I don't see why Sady couldn't be a permanent honorary kiwi, especially if he's going to be a pilot as well. Pilots are always off base, right?

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (Blue Cross) board of trustees announced today the appointment of Michael J. Guyette as president and chief executive officer.
Guyette most recently served as president of national accounts for Aetna in Hartford, Conn., where he was responsible for overseeing operational performance and business strategy for Aetna's national accounts division serving more than 8 million members. He has also held senior leadership positions at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida as senior vice president for the company's diversified business unit and as chief sales officer and group vice president for its national business unit.
Guyette previously held a variety of senior sales and marketing positions with Independence Blue Cross/AmeriHealth Inc. in both Philadelphia and Houston. He also worked for Prudential Healthcare and Continental Insurance in various Texas and Oklahoma markets.
In 2010, Guyette served as chairman for the Consortium of Health Plans, a coalition of 21 Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans founded in 1994 to help position the Blues system as the carrier of choice for national accounts.
"On behalf of the board, I want to express how pleased we are to have Michael Guyette leading Blue Cross into the next phase of our work as a company committed to the health of all," said Vance Opperman, chair of the Blue Cross board of trustees. "He has a strong track record in driving organizational growth, fostering operational excellence and innovation. Michael has demonstrated great leadership and strategic focus in his previous roles, and given his strong health industry experience he is ideally suited to take the helm of the state's largest health plan in today's fast-paced, dynamic environment."
"I look forward to leading Blue Cross during a time of unprecedented change and opportunity in the health care industry," said Guyette. "Blue Cross has a longstanding record of excellence and innovation, an incredibly dedicated team, and is well poised to build on its ability to drive better health for its members at a greater value."
Guyette will begin his duties on January 7. Scott Lynch, who had been serving as president and chief executive officer on an interim basis, will remain senior vice president and chief legal officer.
A native of Rhode Island, Guyette holds a bachelor's degree in finance from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas and an MBA from Villanova University in Villanova, Penn.

YJ used harder than appears
Most of us buy a Jeep and focus first on the drivetrain, leaving the body as an afterthought. Sure, you might throw some rocker protection or corner protection on the tub, but unless you are wheeling with buggies that is usually the extent of the "body work" done on most Jeeps. Well, Erik Bryant does wheel with buggies, and he didn't want his '91 YJ to look like a beer can that had been crushed on some frat boy's forehead anymore. This is not to say that he neglected the drivetrain, he was just very choosy about how he spent his money. In this day and age, can't we all relate to that?
The factory YJ frame was cut behind the front seats and replaced with 1 ½-inch, 0.120-wall DOM tubing by Xtreme Engineering in Fort Collins, Colorado when they set up the suspension. The fuel tank was replaced with an RCI 15-gallon fuel cell at the same time, allowing the wheelbase to be stretched to 106 inches. The rear axle is located by a double-triangulated four-link suspension comprised of 1¾-inch DOM links capped with Currie Johnny Joints at the axle end and 3⁄4-inch FK rod ends at the frame end of the upper links. Fox 2.5-inch-diameter, 14-inch-travel air shocks are used out back to save money and weight, while Rock Equipment 2-inch-diameter, 14-inch-travel coilovers are used up front.
The front also uses a triangulated four-link using Branik 2-inch 7075 aluminum links and ¾-inch FK rod ends with a 7⁄8-inch shank. A triangulated front suspension can result in huge bumpsteer when used with a conventional steering box, so the front suspension geometry required a switch to full-hydraulic steering. That was accomplished with a Howe single-ended ram, pump, reservoir, and orbital valve along with a 13⁄4-inch-diameter 7075 aluminum tie rod from Xtreme Engineering. Ditching the box also allowed Erik to push the front axle forward for a better approach angle and increased wheelbase
Like Editor Hazel's YJ, Erik's Wrangler has a four cylinder that just won't die. He has raced the Jeep in the past (and won!) and it even started to overheat during our photoshoot, but after it cooled off he just pulled the stuck thermostat and kept wheeling. Backing the squirrels is an SM420 four-speed manual transmission. "The transmission is definitely overkill for the four-cylinder and it isn't the fastest shifting transmission, but the granny First comes in handy on the trail," Erik reports. Power, such as it is, is then split by an Advance Adapters Atlas II with a 3.8:1 low range.
At the other end of the 1350-equipped driveshafts things get interesting. The rear axle is a large-bearing Ford 9-inch with a Strange nodular third member, 5.43 gears, and a spool connected to 35-spline Moser axleshafts and stopped with discs from Blackbird Customs. Erik converted the 9-inch to six-lug back when he had a Dana 44 front axle. In retrospect he should have converted it to eight-lug to match the Ford Dana 60 front axle he is now running, but hindsight is always 20/20. The Snow Fighter front axle uses 5.38 gears, a Detroit Locker, Alloy USA chromoly shafts with Spicer U-joints, and TeraFlex drive flanges. Since it is a Ford Dana 60, conversion hubs to match the rear axle are less common, and as a result more expensive. Erik has a belt-driven Kilby on-board air compressor and a plug kit, so he doesn't carry a spare. He just bought inexpensive MB Predator aluminum wheels from Discount Tire with two different bolts patterns to match the axles and used Staun internal beadlocks to retain the tires. Is it ideal? Well, no, but it gets him out on the trail.
