Adkins Architectural Antiques: Recycled Treasures
- Location: Houston, TX and online
- Specialty: American & European architectural salvage
- Price range: $$
- Website: adkinsantiques.com
Store History
- Founded: 1972
- Headquarters: Houston, Texas
Just south of downtown, in one of Houston's oldest neighborhoods, is a nearly 100-year-old house. This is Adkins Architectural Antiques, a great source for vintage hardware - or vintage anything, really - and a charming glimpse into Houston's past.
Outside is an extensive collection of garden furniture, fountains, and antique gates, but inside is where the real fun starts. There are multiple rooms devoted entirely to vintage hardware, and one just for stained glass. Upstairs, you can find furniture, antique doors, moldings, and the occasional creepy doll. There are antique Coca-Cola crates, comic books, tools, and vintage postcards. Basically: if it's old, you can find it here. Definitely worth a look-see if you're searching for sources to update an older home, you love all things vintage, or you just want to spend a delightful afternoon browsing.

Michelle's Dream Space
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- michelle
- Location:
- New York, NY
- Square Feet:
- 330
- Division:
- Teeny-Tiny
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- The most exciting aspect of this apartment is the patio -- it is almost impossible to find a studio in Manhattan with more than a fire escape as outdoor space. When I was apartment hunting, I was told I would not be able to find an apartment in my ideal area -- the Upper West Side -- in my price range, so it's safe to say I found my dream space. It has been an adventure transforming this apartment from a basic New York rental into a space that reflects my personality; this is my first apartment, and slowly I am collecting pieces to replace the various hand-me-downs. I love scouring flea markets all the way from Boston to North Carolina to find unique pieces that I hope to keep forever. Lastly, I love the amount of storage I've found within these tiny walls. Beyond having the usual excessive amount of clothes that most young women do, I also run an Etsy shop out of this space. My closets and cabinets are full of paper goods and art supplies, including my prized tabletop letterpress.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Small spaces come with small kitchens. I love to cook, bake and entertain, and I refuse to let my tiny kitchen hold me back. My 18 inches of counter space has not prevented me from making homemade ravioli, baking enough cupcakes to feed my entire office, or throwing dinner parties. In a small apartment, you have to work with what you have, and I try to do just that with my tiny home!

I want the guiltiest criminal and most innocent person treated in the same way
For a state that was once a stronghold of the Populist Party, Kansas allows a lot of secrecy in police, court and government records.
Compared to federal courts and those in states all around us, Kansas protects far too much information as confidential. Oklahoma's Open Records Act allows for about 12 exemptions for information allowed to be kept confidential. Student records, personnel files and other obvious exceptions are on the short list.
Kansas exempts 42 different types of information, according to the National Freedom of Information Coalition. (See the entire Kansas Open Records Act here: http://kslegislature.org/li/b2013_14/statute/045_000_0000_chapter/045_002_0000_article/045_002_0021_section/045_002_0021_k/)
But don't worry, if you can wait 70 years, you can have access to any of these files.
I wish I were kidding.
I'm a huge supporter of law enforcement everywhere. But open records don't interfere with law enforcement doing a good job. Do you really want to compare arrest and imprisonment records with Texas and Oklahoma?
I think there might be a chilling effect in the opposite direction. When people and the press don't have access to accurate information, they are more likely to believe fanciful tales from defendants and their attorneys in court.
"Trust me" is always a bad policy. Open records give people confidence that the police and court system is operating in a fair way regardless of who the police officer is. I trust my local officers, but can I trust the ones in another community? I don't know.
Open records ensure that the rights we have as Americans are respected in every situation. I want the guiltiest criminal and most innocent person treated in the same way.
The Kansas Press Association is pushing for the fourth time in nine sessions to open one important court file to public view. A couple from Leawood recently put a human face on just what problems closed records – especially probable cause affidavits upon which arrest and search warrants are often based – can cause.
The couple was subjected to a home invasion by a Johnson County SWAT team based on just such a document. But the agents who searched their home found nothing.
The travesty is the Hartes couldn't even find out why they were targeted for such an investigation.
They tried for more than a year before they finally learned that their home was searched because officers found remnants of brewed tea that was mistakenly believed to be marijuana stems and leaves.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to you. Mistakes happen everywhere. But only in Kansas are the reasons for the mistakes protected by sealed court documents. In every other state and in federal courts, those affidavits are available after a simple request and, in most places, they cost nothing to obtain.
In Kansas, the Hartes spent tens of thousands of dollars and more than a year to get them.
Protecting records doesn't favor law enforcement. It favors bad law enforcement.
Open records build trust. We can do better. Let your legislators know that you want Kansas to expand the openness of our court and police records.

Gulf Stream Designs Hinged SURV Vapor Wall
March 13, 2009 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Gulf Stream Designs Hinged SURV Vapor Wall
Gulf Stream Coach Inc., Nappanee, Ind., has introduced an XL option for its 2010 Wide Open and G-Force fifth-wheel toy hauler series, creating a vapor wall that can be opened to extend the living area into the heated garage. "Most toy hauler consumers want a sealed garage to eliminate the transfer of fumes, but many can't justify losing 12 feet of living space for the garage area," said A.J. Jones, Gulf Stream's national sales manager for its EnduraMax division. "This patent-pending XL option is the first way to really overcome that objection." The XL's sealed rear wall, which contains an entertainment center that includes a flat-screen TV on a swivel bracket, opens toward the garage to create more living space after toys have been removed. The heated garage area also contains two queen bunk beds. The $693 XL option is available in five floorplans each in the vacuum bonded fiberglass-and-aluminum Wide Open and G-Force series.

Prop Wars: Can Paramount Prevent People From Offering Up Plans To 3D Print Movie Props?
from the freedom-to-build dept
However, Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Viacom, has taken this even further. The studio apparently sent a cease-and-desist to Todd Blatt, a mechanical engineer, who has been making 3D printable models of various movie props, sending them off to the popular 3D printing service Shapeways, and offering up the products. In this case, Paramount freaked out that he was offering a 3D printed version of the weird cube-like figure in the movie Super 8.
Obviously, the creator of such a product might run into trouble depending on how the technology is packaged. "Bring home a character from Transformers" might imply a false endorsement. "Look like Angelina Jolie" might constitute a violation of the actress' publicity rights. But copyright? Is a physical re-creation of an object on-screen a derivative?It definitely seems like a stretch, but if the entertainment industry is good at anything these days, it's stretching the meaning of copyright laws. While nothing more is likely to happen in this case, you can rest assured that this issue isn't going away, and there will almost certainly be court cases in the near future.

Animal Species:Giant Centipede, Ethmostigmus rubripes
This is the largest native Australian centipede and is a member of the scolopendrid family. The largest centipede in the world, Scolopendra gigantea, is a 30 cm centipede from South America that is able to eat mice and lizards.
Standard Common Name
Giant Centipede
The Giant Centipede ranges in colour from dark blue-green-brown to orange-yelllow. It has black bands along the body and yellow legs and antenna. The body is long and flatterned with 25 or 27 body segments and 21 or 23 pairs of legs. The first pair of legs behind the head are modified claws which curve around its head and can deliver venom into its prey. The venom is toxic to both mammals and insects, but does not appear to be strong enough to kill large animals quickly.
Size range
16 cm
The Giant Centipede is found throughout Australia.
The Giant Centipede can be found in both dry and moist habitats, usually in sheltered places such as under logs,in leaf litter, soil, under rocks and bark in urban areas, forests, woodlands, heath, rainforests and deserts. It is solitary, terrestrial and a nocturnal predator.
Feeding and Diet
The Giant Centipede feed on insects, snails and worms.
Other behaviours and adaptations
Giant Centipedes are nocturnal, during the day they hide in damp, sheltered places and during the night, when the relatively humidity is high, they hunt their prey.
Mating and reproduction
Females lay their eggs in clusters, usually in summer and autumn. She guards the eggs and hatchlings till after their second moult.
Danger to humans and first aid
A Giant Centipede may bite if disturbed or handled, the bite may cause severe pain that could persist for several days, however no deaths have been recorded from the bite of any Australian centipede. Pain can be relieved somewhat by the application of icepacks. Some people report "intense pain" while others claim it is no worse than a wasp sting. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

A local mother is doubly excited about her four children graduating from South Terrebonne High School Tuesday.
A local mother is doubly excited about her four children graduating from South Terrebonne High School Tuesday.
"I'm so excited, it's not even funny," said Nancy Crochet. "I'm so proud of having four seniors in one year graduating. Actually, proud is an understatement."
That's because those four children are two sets of fraternal twins.
The twins — Justin, 19, Dustin, 19, and Nicholas, 18, Nikki, 18 — have always attended the same school together.
Nancy said at times there were challenges, especially financially, trying to provide for the twins.
"They did without a lot of stuff sometimes, but we usually got them what they needed," she said. "It was a struggle at times, but we got through it, and now they're all seniors."
It was especially helpful that the twins were willing to work together, she said.
"Everyone really had to pull together to make it all work."
Crochet said she was thrilled when she first learned she was having the first set of twins. The second set, which came 13 months later, was a bit of a shock.
"When they put the ultrasound on me, I saw the two little circles and I said, 'Oh, here we go — don't tell me, twins again?' The guy that did the ultrasound turned to me and said, 'Mrs. Crochet, if I was your husband, I think I'd take you in the backyard and shoot you.' I said, 'Baby, if I was your wife I think I'd let you.' "
Six months later, Crochet says she got a hysterectomy.
What are the odds of having two sets of twins in one family? According to twinstwice.com, a website that compiles twin-related statistics, the chances are about one in 3,000.
By comparision, you also have a one in 3,000 shot of being hit by lightning in your lifetime or having a satellite fall on your house.
Nikki said she and her brothers knew there were times when things were hard on their parents. But, like Nancy said, they all helped each other out.
"It was really fun to grow up with my brothers," she said. "It's nice not having to go through all those school years alone because we always had each other, and we always helped each other out."
Dustin and Nikki say one of the most difficult times for their folks was trying to teach all four of them how to drive.
"Yeah, that was one of the hardest things," said Justin, the oldest.
"I was the first one to get a license and the first one to get the truck, and them all wanting to use the one car at the same time," it didn't always go over so well.
The twins will accept their diplomas along with their South Terrebonne classmates in a commencement service set for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.

Vampire Wines Bites Into Yard House's Vampire Taco Trademark With Infringement Lawsuit
TI Beverage Group and its attorney, trademark licensor, and co-plaintiff Michael Machat are not drinking at the Yard House and nothing seems to be merry despite the consumption of tacos and alcohol. Plaintiffs appear to have more of an affinity for Vampires than Bram Stoker himself, having registered numerous Vampire related trademarks for beverages, bars, and restaurant services, including Vampire® and Dracula® for wines and Vampire Lounge & Tasting Room® for restaurant and Bar Services. Even Bella Swan doesn't think this amount of vampire love is healthy, said the star of the Twilight saga. Moreover, Sookie Stackhouse is upstaged by Plaintiffs' undying love of vampires because Plaintiffs previously sued HBO for trademark infringement for selling TruBlood beverages.
Plaintiffs claim to have recently sniffed out Yard House's sale of "VAMPIRE TACO" and use of "VAMPIRE STYLE" to excite potential customers about its food and/or beverage offerings. Yard House has also file trademark applications for Vampire Taco and Vampire Style, which are both pending. Plaintiff alleges that if Yard House "is not stopped from marketing food products and restaurants using Plaintiffs' Vampire Mark or a mark confusingly similar to Vampire, then consumers will likely be confused about the source and origin of defendant's products and services and mistakenly conclude that defendant's products or services are produced by, or associated with Plaintiffs…As a result, Plaintiffs' reputation and goodwill will be impaired." The complaint seeks unspecified damages, but Plaintiffs intend to disgorge Yard House's profits, request an award of attorneys' fees in addition to an injunction prohibiting Yard House's use of the Vampire trademark.
Say "Super Bowl" and Suffer the NFL's Trademark Infringement Traumatic Brain Injury
Every year the NFL's trademark attorneys aggressively send cease and desist letters to business using the term "Super Bowl," threatening them with the trademark law equivalent of traumatic brain injury. Even churches are not granted sanctuary from NFL's trademark and copyright infringement tentacles. Instead of battling for immunity under trademark fair-use laws, many businesses and advertisers engage in vocabulary gymnastics, e.g. Big Game, Super Sunday, to avoid the NFL's trademark onslaught. The NFL even tried to prevent use of "The Big Game" by filing a USPTO trademark application, but the NFL was forced to abandon its trick-play when numerous colleges and businesses opposed the application. Thus, to avoid legal expenses, many businesses choose to forego the battle. But not Stephen Colbert, whose Superb Owl moniker flies below the NFL's trademark radar:
Grammy Tickets, Duped Trademark Attorney, Cash, And Trademark Infringement
This is not your ordinary trademark infringement case. It involves Grammy Awards ceremony tickets, allegedly sold by now ex-Recording Academy member and trademark attorney – Matthew Blakely – to alleged swindler and trademark infringer Craig Banaszewski.
The dispute stretches back to 2012 when the Academy informed defendants that tickets to the Grammy awards were private, invitation only events and any unauthorized transfer or sale of the tickets was unlawful, would automatically void the tickets, and the ticket-holders would be deemed trespassers. Defendants complied with the Academy's take-down requests and the issue appeared resolved.
In 2013, however, attorney Blakely reportedly sold his non-transferable tickets for between $65,000 and $89,500. But when the purchasers were denied entry, they sued Blakely after he refused to refund their money. Blakely informed the Hollywood Reporter that Banaszewski claimed he was obtaining tickets to revive 80's and 90's rock bands' careers and Grammy appearances would be helpful. According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Blakely says he initially declined but then reconsidered after the guy 'reiterated interest in potentially funding the film projects for Blakely Legal clients.'"
Sam Smith To Pay Tom Petty Copyright Royalties For "Stay With Me" Song
Sam Smith's hit song "Stay With Me" was reportedly the subject of a copyright dispute with Tom Petty claiming that it infringed his "I Won't Back Down" hit song. Here's a third party's analysis and comparison of the two songs:
The Rolling Stone reports that the parties have "quietly and amicably settled" the copyright dispute and Tom Petty and co-author Jeff Lynne will now be credited as songwriters on Smith's "Stay With Me." As for copyright royalties, Rolling Stone reports that it's "unclear whether Petty and Lynne were retroactively compensated for their songwriting credit or if they'll receive future earnings on the track."
Karaoke Bar Fight! Elohim EPF & Ratt Sue Numerous Bars For Copyright Infringement
The U.S. music sub-publisher of Korean music publishers has filed copyright infringement lawsuits against several karaoke bars in Los Angeles and Korea town. I'm not sure how popular the 80's glam-metal-hair-band Ratt is in Korean karaoke bars, but it is also suing for infringement of its "Round and Round" song. The complaints allege that Defendants charge customers money for access to the karaoke machines, the primary feature of the bars for which customers pay Defendants, and illegally publicly perform the copyrighted musical compositions embodied in the karaoke recordings.
Ratt's single composition pales in comparison to Elohim's assertion that 3,341 musical compositions have been infringed by the karaoke bars, but as explained below Ratt is afforded more remedies under the Copyright Act. Both plaintiffs allege that the bars have not been granted public performance licenses for the compositions under 17 U.S.C. § 106(4) of the Copyright Act.
Each of the Elohim Compositions constitutes copyrightable material and is protected under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (the "Berne Convention"). The Berne Convention affords the Elohim Compositions, which were published in Korea and are owned by Korean citizens, automatic copyright protection in the United States; in this regard, there is no requirement that the Elohim Compositions be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office prior to the initiation of this lawsuit.
Kendrick Lamar Sued For Infringing Music Copyrights In Rigamortus Song
Kendrick Lamar's hit song "Rigamortus" may be DOA because he is accused of blatantly copying the music from "The Thorn." Composer, musician, and recording artist Eric S. Reed composed "The Thorn" in 2009 for Willie Jones III's 2010 recording The Next Phase (WJ3). Reed is the owner of U.S. Copyright Registration No. Pau 3-682-265 in the composition and Jones is the owner of U.S. Copyright Registration No. SR0721860 in the sound recording.
Plaintiffs deny granting Kendrick Lamar permission to use "The Thorn" in any manner, including the numerous versions and remixes which also incorporate Plaintiffs' original sound recordings.
"The Thorn" is not merely a part of "Rigamortus" or even the heart of "Rigamortus"; it is "Rigamortus". The distinctive and catchy refrain from "The Thorn" sound recording, sped up a bit, repeats as a continuous loop throughout the entire "Rigamortus" song while Lamar raps over it. The clever melodic triplets, infectious rhythm, and commanding horns from "The Thorn" are copied to "Rigamortus" directly from Jones' sound recording. Defendants did not play any instruments or contribute any original musical performance to the "Rigamortus" sound recording. The instrumental element of "Rigamortus" and the composition that it embodies are owned and authored entirely by Jones and Reed respectively.
Levi's Trademark Infringement Lawsuit Against Stussy's Jeans Is Not Horseplay
Levi Strauss & Co. has been making jeans forever and owns some of the earliest trademarks registered at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. The trademarks at issue involve Levi's two-horses pulling on a pair of jeans design, one of which (pictured to the right) Levi's began using in 1886 and registered in 1980. Levi's contends that its two-horse design trademarks are famous and recognized around the world based on Levi's extensive marketing and volume of sales for over one-hundred years.
Stussy is accused of using a two-horse design trademark on a leather patch affixed to jeans and shirts that is confusingly similar to Levi's registered trademarks. Based on the similarity of the two design trademarks, it's not surprising that Levi's is steaming up Stussy's tail. Levi's alleges the striking similarity of the trademarks can only lead to one conclusion: that Stussy's infringement is will and intentional, thereby warranting trebling the amount of Levi's damages and Stussy's profits. Levi's seeks unspecified damages, but requests an award of its attorneys' fees in addition to an injunction prohibiting Stussy's use of the two-horse design trademark.
Although there appear to be no opposed decisions involving Levi's two-horse design trademark, Levi's has successfully litigated and prevailed on its back-pocket stitching design trademarks. See e.g. Lois Sportswear, USA, Inc. v. Levi Strauss & Co., 799 F.2d 867, 871 (2d Cir.1986). This should be an extremely quick horse race to the finish, i.e. settlement.
Pitbull And Kesha's Timber Song Subject Of Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
Seeking at least $3 million in damages, songwriters Lee Oskar Levitin, Greg Errico, and Keri Oskar are suing Sony Music and Pitbull's company for copyright infringement over his smash hit "Timber," featuring Kesha. The duo's popular song with a country twang is accused of unabashedly sampling the melody and harmonica riff from Plaintiffs' 1978 hit "San Francisco Bay."

Manolo Blahnik Seeks Transfer Of Websites Selling Counterfeits In Trademark Lawsuit
In a trademark infringement and counterfeiting lawsuit, Manolo Blahnik is asking the court to transfer control of websites selling counterfeit Manolo Blahnik shoes and accessories and to freeze Defendants' assets and bank accounts. The identities of the defendants and the websites are currently sealed to prevent advanced notice to the accused defendants, who may use the information to transfer or conceal assets. The complaint alleges that Defendants create internet stores by the hundreds and design them to appear to be selling genuine products, while actually selling low-quality counterfeit Manolo Blahnik products to unknowing consumers. "Internet websites like the Defendant Internet Stores are estimated to receive tens of millions of visits per year and to generate over $135 billion in annual online sales." Manolo Blahnik claims it is forced to file these actions to combat Defendants' counterfeiting of its numerous USPTO registered trademarks, as well as to protect unknowing consumers from purchasing counterfeit products over the Internet.
Manolo Blahnik asserts that its trademarks are so famous that it has become a fabric of pop culture, whereby its shoes have been featured on many television shows including Sex and the City where Carrie Bradshaw begged a mugger to "take my Fendi handbag, my ring and my watch, but please don't take my Manolo Blahniks!" Accordingly, Plaintiff does not wish defendants' websites to steal Manolo Blahnik's goodwill created over the years with its consumers and requests the Court – without prior notice to defendants – to issue:
(1) a temporary restraining order against Defendants temporarily enjoining the manufacture, importation, distribution, offer for sale and sale of Counterfeit Manolo Blahnik Products; (2) an order temporarily transferring Defendants' Domain Names to Manolo Blahnik so they can be disabled; (3) an order temporarily restricting transfer of Defendants' assets to preserve Manolo Blahnik's rights to an equitable accounting; (4) an order for expedited discovery allowing Manolo Blahnik to inspect and copy Defendants' records relating to the manufacture, distribution, offer for sale and sale of Counterfeit Manolo Blahnik Products and Defendants' financial accounts; and (5) an order allowing service by electronic mail and electronic publication at the Defendant Domain Names.

Hello, I am a learning programmer...I have been practicing on and off for months in java.
I understand what a pointer 'does' and the basic mechanics on how to use them.
But what are their practical uses for a learning programmer like myself?
The only uses I have seen myself are examples of passing pointers through methods instead of the data itself so that you can run your program faster.
I also have seen the example of using pointers to complete a linked list.
Can anyone give me a VERY simple application where pointers are necessary?

Film London and Filme Rio-Rio Film Commission have signed a partnership agreement to develop the exchange of trade, talent and culture within their cities' film industries.
The Memorandum of Understanding – was signed on behalf of Film London, the capital's film and media agency, by Chairman David Parfitt and by Steve Solot, President of Filme Rio-Rio Film Commission, a joint venture by The State Government of Rio de Janeiro and Rio's City Hall
The partnership comes as London prepares to pass on to Rio de Janeiro the role of hosting the Olympic Games in 2016, following the London Games in 2012. While the focus of the City to City agreement will be to share ideas and best practice on domestic and international film production, there will also be collaboration on how the film industries of these two Olympic host cities can best exploit the unique opportunity it offers. This will range from how to manage the logistics of filming during an Olympic Games to using film to capitalise on tourism opportunities.
UK director Julien Temple – who is due to start shooting Children of the Revolution in Rio in September 2011 and attended the Cannes launch– welcomed the partnership as it promises to encourage more film-makers to work between the two capital cities.
"Since visiting Rio with the Sex Pistols for The Great Rock and Roll Swindle in the late 70s I've always wanted to make a film about the city. Visually Rio is a film-maker's gold mine and through its music and the people who make it, both the soul of the city and its unique destiny finds its ultimate expression," Temple commented yesterday.

We get it. You want the perfect relationship with the perfect guy and the perfect marriage with the 2.5 perfect children and a white picket fence. Who can blame you for wanting the best for yourself?
The problem is that there is no "perfection" in the world - at least, not the world we live in. Instead, we make do, muddle along, and do the best we can.
So when you're dating and mating, don't be too picky - but don't be too permissive either! Here are some signs that you might have impossible standards.
1) You refuse to go on a date with a guy who has facial hair in his online profile picture because he MIGHT look too scuzzy.
2) You refuse to date anyone who cannot properly punctuate a sentence. Sure, it's annoying, but really, who doesn't love extra commas?
3) You refuse to consider a guy's offer to buy you a drink because you "hate that pickup line."
4) You dump a guy because you loathe the way his friends act in public - even though he's very well behaved.
5) You refuse to consider dating anyone who is vegan, vegetarian, or eats gluten-free because it "limits the places you can eat."
6) You break up with a great guy because he loves the band Rush.
7) You break up with a dude because he sees a therapist, even though you know that perfectly normal people see therapists, too.
8) You refuse to date a guy who has cats because you figure he's a Mama's boy.
9) You assume ALL men are Mama's boys.
10) You refuse a date with a guy whose last name you don't like - just in case you get married. Don't want to be saddled with a bad last name!
What are some other signs you're being too picky when it comes to dating? Have you ever been guilty of this?

Golf Course Travel Destination: Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC
One of America's oldest golf resorts brings its past into the future — and knocks our socks off
(page 1 of 2)
When Peter Allen wrote "Everything Old Is New Again," he could have easily been talking about Pinehurst Resort, where the recent restyling of famed Pinehurst No. 2 has breathed new life into the venerable North Carolina must-visit golf destination. Today, you won't find men playing golf in ties and top hats, nor many women wearing bustles and shoes with a dozen buttons, but you will be able to play a unique and exciting golf course, much the way it was originally envisioned. And the experience will delight you.
You'll also find an enchanting village with a host of amenities and activities ranging from stellar restaurants to lawn bowling, croquet, and horseback riding; tours of historic homes; and a festival of some sort nearly every weekend. But golf is the main attraction. The Pinehurst Resort is home to not just one course, but eight, each one distinct and providing golf fun for players of every level. If those eight aren't enough to scratch your golf itch, there are dozens and dozens of other courses within easy driving distance.
The big draw, though, is Pinehurst No. 2, fabled for its turtle-back greens and as the site of countless championship tournaments, including two U.S. Opens (1999 and 2005), the PGA Championship (1936), and the Ryder Cup (1951). Walking the same fairways trod by Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Payne Stewart, and other luminaries of the game adds a whole other dimension to your round on No. 2. In 2014, today's stars will light up the course as it sets another record, becoming the first venue to host both the U.S. Open and the U.S. Women's Open Championships within a week of each other.
Payne Stewart memorial near No. 2's 18th green
The course the pros tackle will be completely different from the one where Payne Stewart punctuated his win of the U.S. Open in 1999 with an iconic fist pump that's memorialized by a statue overlooking the 18th green. Today's No. 2 has been restored so that it plays the way Donald Ross intended in the mid-1930s. Architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw (who also managed the rebuild of Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle) took a long hard look at photographs of the course from that era. They discovered that the modern course, with its lush fairways; even lusher Bermuda grass roughs; and sharply-defined bunkers, greens, and tees, was nothing like Ross's original design. The duo kept the routing and the basic green contours, but changed — for the better — just about everything else.
There is no more rough on Pinehurst No. 2, but before you start celebrating, take a close look at what replaced the 35 acres of thick but boring grass off the fairways. Now you'll find sand, pine needles, hardpan, and hundreds of thousands of wiregrass plants, spiky tufts of toughness that will eat your errant ball and maybe even the club you used to hit it. Bunkers that had been covered by turf over the years were reclaimed, while some of the existing ones were tugged further into the fairways to squeeze landing areas and torment those who dare challenge the layout. The characteristic Pinehurst No. 2 greens were restored to profiles that more naturally tie into the surrounding grades, although they remain distinctly turtle-backed and can be devilishly cruel. The result: there's simply more to deal with on every shot.
The course not only plays differently, it looks different, too. The number of sprinkler heads was cut by more than half so that water reaches only the center of the fairways, which in turn blend into the sandy soil the way nature (and Donald Ross) originally intended. Tee areas, fairways, and even the aprons around the green are all mowed to the same height, making for a visually stunning and unique golf experience.

Short review: This is an excellent smoking fetish site. Oral sex connotations aside, there's something inherently erotic about watching a woman smoke a cigarette. And it's all the better when she's taking on a big dick while she does it. These guys have nailed that. All in all, I'd give this site an A+, if it weren't for the fact that they don't offer full-length clips for download. You can only view these babies how they were meant to be seen if you buy the DVD. It's a shame. All in all, though, a great site.
Content Amount: There are just over 160 DVD releases and probably thousands of video clips. Photo galleries are abundant, too, with some models having as many as 18 galleries.

Covington scores 25 points, hits late free throws as Tennessee State tops Alabama A&M 83-72
NORMAL, Ala. – Robert Covington scored a game-high 25 points Saturday night to lead Tennessee State to an 83-72 win over Alabama A&M in nonconference action.
Covington hit two 3-pointers, made four steals and sank nine of 10 free throws, including 4 of 4 in the final 25 seconds for the Tigers (3-5).
Three teammates also scored in double figures. Kellen Thornton finished with 17 points and Patrick Miller 14. Jordan Cyphers came off the Tennessee State bench to score 11 more.
For Alabama A&M (2-4), Brandon Ellis and Jeremy Crutcher scored 16 points apiece. Ellis was also a perfect 10 for 10 at the foul line, but his teammates only made 9 of 16 free throws. That was costly when Tennessee State went 27 of 34 at the foul line.
Demarquelle Tabb had a double-double for the Bulldogs with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Justan Banks scored 10.

By Eric Lindstrom
Almost everyone can imagine the bridge of a ship – from the movies, a tour of a ship, or maybe you are the master of your own vessel. It is the place where control of all ship operations is commanded. On the bridge of the Knorr, an officer and a seaman are always present and in full control of the vessel, for the safety of all aboard and effectiveness of the ship as a research platform. It's amazing what they can do and the various skills that are required to command a research vessel.
The bridge and chart room house all the ways and means needed to safely navigate Knorr, maintain her stability, maneuver her on station, and to communicate with anyone as necessary. Like the dashboard of a (sophisticated) car, they have a display of key engineering functions and to operate the ship in both manual (i.e., you driving) and autopilot (car cruise control) modes.
One key function of the master that you may not know about is to complete calculations assessing the stability of the ship and to ballast her correctly as fuel is consumed or heavy scientific gear is deployed. Seawater ballast tanks are available to compensate for changing conditions (Knorr uses between 1,800 and 3,800 gallons of fuel per day).
There is an overarching sense of situational awareness that permeates life on the bridge of any research vessel. The captain and the mates are always alert of changing conditions like weather, location, time, ship traffic, and science plans. With the rhythm of the ship, they are also keenly attuned to watch changes, meals, rest periods, and fresh coffee brewing. Also, there is all the important watch for fish. The chief engineer must be informed 24/7 of any sighting. We all need our protein…
That leaves the oceanographers to focus on the science bits – like what the tiny variations of salinity are in the top 3,000 feet of the ocean! That's sweet. The bridge looks after us, we look after the ocean, and everyone is, well… working. Not much else to do out here.
Knorr has amazing capability to stay on station. In gentle sea conditions, it's quite possible to stay on location to within a few feet. The officer on watch can set the ship to keep position, so their attention can be shifted to observing deck operations further aft on the ship.
Captain Adam Seamans has been a Master of Knorr since 2008. He started with Whoods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as an Able Seaman in 2000, where one of his first duties was to clean a science cabin after a head overflowed. My, how times have changed! Now he commands the 22-member crew of Knorr and navigates her to all corners of the globe. Maybe he still has to deal with a lot of crumby jobs, but they are mostly of the cleaner variety!
The Knorr has enormous capability for communication – via satellite phone or internet or radio. In close quarters with foreign vessels, Knorr can communicate the old-fashioned way via flags. Sequences of brightly colored flags have universal meanings to mariners.
Finally, I thought I would call your attention to training. All the officers aboard Knorr have great experience and through my decades of oceanography, I have found maritime officers always passing their knowledge and experience forward to others. Teaching and sharing, honestly, what a great concept! It makes for safer seas.
On this voyage we have a learner, a cadet named Anna, from Sweden. She is just 18 and approached a WHOI captain about being a cadet aboard one of their vessels. Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for! Anna has been working all the jobs on the ship for our expedition. Just today, she was driving a winch by herself for the first time, looking happy and proud! Her initiative and hard-working nature are an example for all of us. Sometimes the teachers become the students… Anna, Bravo Zulu!

The Jewish Community Council of Greater Washington, which represents 215 synagogues and Jewish organizations, wrote the Metropolitan Area Transit Authority saying it was "anguished by the odious and misleading nature" of the advertisements, while respecting the Anti-Discrimination Committee's First Amendment rights.

Jack Rubin Elected President Of Beth Jacob Congregation will serve as advisor. Rubin, a native of Lancaster, is the son of Jeannette Rubin and the late Harry Rubin. He attended University High School and then went on to Ohio State University. Rubin enlisted in the United States Air Force and served at Samson Air Force Base in New York. He was discharged in 1952 and entered in his late father's business, Marco Records. While at Ohio State University, he met Lois Wolff, and they were married in 1955. They have three sons. They are the grandparents of six. Rubin joined the Beth Jacob Congregation in 1970 and has been an active member ever since. In 1978, he was elected to the Board of Trustees, and in 1985 he became recording secretary. Rubin's paternal grandmother, Mrs. Roby Rubin, came from one of the founding families of Beth Jacob Congregation. Rubin also serves as a member of Heritage House and is president of Paint Products, Inc., and vice president of Wood Delight. His interests include playing golf and photography. Installed with Rubin were the following officers, honorary board members, past presidents: Bernard Ger- son; Bernard Hirsch; Harold Tanenbaum; Dr. Charles Young; Leonard Quinn; Morris Weinstock; and honorary trustee Joe Steinberg. Also installed were the following board members: Yehuda Bitton; Henrietta Flox; Irv Flox; Irv Gutter; Meyer Hoffman; Rita Hoffman; Dr. Bruce Kay; Dr. Fred Kapetansky; Bary Leeman; Dr. Alan Levy; Moishe Mizrachi; Joe Nichol; Dr. Aaron Shaffer; Danny Rosenberg; Marty Speert; Michael Weisz; Dr. David Yashon; Stuart Cole.

Work!!" asks if "you know that last year, American taxpayers gave Israel $1.8 billion in military aid? " as well as $1.2 billion in economic aid. "Only Congress can stop this madness," the advertisement concluded. The council responded by arguing that the aid was "not in form of cash but credits to be spent here" and termed it an "economic stimulus to America." The other poster, lined the rulers, cites the Soviet Union, South Africa and Israel as constituting "1 Yardstick for Human Rights." Both placards contain identical pictures of terrified Palestinians confronting or being confronted by Israeli soldiers. EARLY DEADLINE Deadline For The Thursday, Sept. 8, Issue Is Noon Thursday, Sept. 1 The OJC Office Will Be Closed Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5 tegic Study Finds IDF Shows mpfoms Of An Occupying Army NEW YORK (JTA) - The Israel Defense Force is beginning to exhibit psychological symptoms of being occupiers, a study in Israel on the behavior* of occupying armies in modern history indicates. , The study was conducted over a four-year period by' Dr. Yoram Peri of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University. Its purpose was to evaluate what psychological effects Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip has had on members of the IDF. During the course of the four years, Peri researched events in Israel and elsewhere, including Britain's military involvement in Northern Ireland. His study will soon be published by Westview Press of Boulder, Colo. Peri, who is also deputy editor of the Israeli daily Davar, determined a threefold process that occurs in the occupier's psyche, beginning with development of a "political-military doctrine" within the army's ranks. He found that this was followed by development of a "self-image crisis" among the soldiers, which finally leads to a "crisis in civil- military relations." Peri found this last problem most pronounced in a "citizen's army" where a majority of citizens do military service. The problem is exacerbated, he said, when there is a division of opinion regarding the occupation, and the subsequent resentment of the army's actions by a segment of society. Without general societal support for the military, the SloteOf Officers, Board Members To Be Presented At Annual Meeting Of Columbus Jewish Federation Miriam Yenkin, Columbus Jewish Federation's Nominating Committee chairwoman, announced that the following slate of officers and board members for the 1988-89 year will be presented to the membership at the Federation's 62nd Annual Meeting on Sunday evening, Sept. 18, at 7:30 p.m. at Beth Jacob Congregation.

Melton and Eleanor Resler. army is compelled to take a more extreme stand, which aggravates the situation. Peri described the potential for "severe clashes with the government" when an army begins to veer from the government position following a long period of occupation, especially when confronted by rebellion within the populace. In its extreme, he said, such tension between army and government could lead to a "full-fledged military coup." Peri analyzed the behavior of individual soldiers in occupying armies and found that lengthy occupation, in situations of local opposition, could produce demoralization and what he calls the "pin-head syndrome," a tendency to" keep a low profile and avoid responsibility. One factor which was present prior to the uprising, and which makes this occupation similar to other occupations in the world, is the presence of Israeli settlers within the territories, forcing the military to become politicized, Peri reports. 7 But "20 years of relative calm came to an end with the outburst of the intifada, a development which has influenced the whole military structure in the territories. "The Palestinian rebellion resulted in an explosion of controversy, which caused some of the characteristics of other occupying armies to surface in the IDF." Peri writes that the present situation of rebellion in the territories demands anti- subversive warfare measures, but that the implementation of such measures is difficult. " "Some of these measures, e.g. 'the. beating policy,' have been greatly opposed by many citizens, and this has led to a weakening of the consensus," he said. "Soldiers are experiencing conflicts of conscience while serving in the territories, and the number of conscientious objectors is on the rise." He ends on a pessimistic note. "It is certain that the situation will never return to what it was before December 1987 ... for the most part, damaging effects will or will not develop in the IDF depending on the level of subversive warfare, whether the consensus remains strong within Israeli society, and most important, what will be the political solution to the crisis, advocated by the government."

Pretty decent game tonight, now grab four tracks that I've been giving heavy playtime recently. First off one of my favorite bands Band of Horses and a new track that will be on their upcoming new album Night Rainbow. The track is a good quality live recording from Bonnaroo last year, I have a feeling we may be seeing these guys soon (SXSW).
Band of Horses – Laredo (Bonnaroo 2009)
2010 may be Nneka's year, watch out for this one she's definelty got it. Her debut album Concrete Jungle just dropped two weeks ago, check out this remake of her hit single.
Nneka – Heartbeat (Chase and Status remix)
I was at Red Fez a couple of Fridays ago and was dancing to the end of Jeramy's (Learning Secrets) set and heard this track below from Hercules and Love Affair, I could not remember the vocalist's name and thankfully after going back and forth with Jeramy the answer, Antony, enjoy…
Hercules and Love Affair – Blind
He claims Austin as his home and I cannot wait to see him in March at SX. He is one of the hottest DJ's right now and will be deservingly huge soon. He found what MSTRKRFT was missing with this one.

Bay City
Prohibited language relating to teacher placement evaluations and seniority-based layoff recall decisions is contained within a 23-page appendix, added to the collective bargaining agreement between the Bay City Education Association and Bay City Public Schools.[65] At the beginning of the appendix is the following language:
As a result of Public Act 103 of 2011, the following provisions of the parties' collective bargaining agreement were removed to this appendix as being not enforceable, "prohibited" subjects of bargaining as applicable to Teachers within the bargaining unit. If a court or agency of competent jurisdiction concludes by January 31, 2017 that PA 103, in whole or in part, is unlawful, then the lawful provisions revert back to the Master Agreement and are enforceable to Teachers. These provisions, however, remain in full force and affect [sic] for those bargaining unit members not subject the [sic] Teachers' Tenure Act unless otherwise indicated.[66]
A case could be made that the Bay City school district is in fact bargaining over these prohibited subjects, since the district and the union agreed to make these provisions enforceable if Public Act 103 becomes unlawful by Jan. 31, 2017. By specifying the date, the district and union are, at least indirectly, bargaining over when these policies may go into effect.
A brief summary of Bay City's prohibited items shows just how much the district's previous contract limited school administrators from making staffing decisions. According to the district's prohibited language appendix:
- Assignments will be based on seniority.[67]
- Layoff decisions will be made based on seniority[68]
- Recall decisions will be made based on seniority.[69]
- Evaluations must take into account student socioeconomic status, administrative support class size and facilities, among other things.[70]
- Adverse evaluations are subject to grievances.[71]
Though the district states that prohibited subjects of bargaining have been relegated to this appendix, it appears as if some prohibited subjects remained in the main contract. The contract lists the various factors that will be used to determine how vacancies will be filled and includes the "length of satisfactory service to the District," i.e., seniority.[72]

Right after Mexico took a 1-0 lead in yesterday's World Cup match against Croatia, a fight between the nations' supporters broke out in the stands. The fight featured quite a few reckless haymakers, a lot of shirtless Croatians, and one amazing badass.
Notice the burly older gentleman in the foreground, who wants nothing to do with the bullshit unfolding behind him. He just stands there like a boss, taking deep, luxurious drags from his cigarette while all hell breaks loose around him.
This is how a man who has seen some shit reacts to a silly brawl between soccer fans. He's not getting involved because he knows that if he did, someone would end up dead.
After a few minutes, he decides to walk off in search of a quieter seat. Yesterday wasn't really a good day to kill a man.

Area transportation commissioner Minor dies
Northern District Transportation Commissioner Bill Minor, 68, died today in Biloxi where he'd been attending a national transportation conference, The Associated Press reports.
Minor represented 33 north Mississippi counties on the state's three-member transportation commission. These included Oktibbeha County and the surrounding counties of Choctaw, Clay, Lowndes, Webster and Winston.
Mississippi Department of Transportation spokeswoman Carrie Adams says Minor was pronounced dead at 9:15 a.m. today at Biloxi Regional Medical Center.
She said Minor's body was being transported to his hometown of Holly Springs, and funeral arrangements were pending.
He was first elected as one of three transportation commissioners in November 2003. Before that, he served 20 years in the Mississippi Senate, representing Marshall, Benton and DeSoto counties.
Minor commented on the economic development aspects of improved transportation on two occasions related to the 2006 opening of the Highway 25 four-lane between Starkville and Jackson.
"Four-lane roads cause economic development," said Bill Minor, Mississippi northern district transportation commissioner.
Businesses look for routes to bring raw materials in and finished products out, he said. Plus, such companies as convenience stores tend to crop up along the new routes, bringing even more employment to the area.
"If the roads are not there, they're not coming," he said of prospective businesses.
Editor's note: The Starkville Daily News is developing a story seeking reaction from local and state officials for the print edition and website Tuesday.

Smolt is a hardware profiler developed by Fedora Project to enable users to submit their hardware profiles during installation. Smolt, like PackageKit from Fedora is also a distribution neutral tool and collects stats anonymously and sends it to a central database . The tool is also completely opt-in and guarantees your privacy. While openSUSE has been including Smolt in their repositories for sometime, they have now taken next step and added installer integration to it. There is also a call for other distributions to participate in this effort instead of reinventing the wheel. "Smolt is a project started by Fedora to collect information about the hardware that is used with computers running Linux. We at (open-)SUSE were seeing this demand as well and also were discussing a solution. But it became clear quite quickly that it does not make sense to have a per-distro solution for that - if we want to have momentum with a hardware database a combined effort promises the most."
