Where's the best place to find a Corvette that's destined to capture a Top Flight award? It all depends-it could be in a neighbor's garage, it could be in the collection of someone whose ad you've read, or it could be...just about anywhere. Nick Minoia has always loved the second-generation Corvette, and he wanted a midyear to grace his collection. Fortunately for Nick, he had some help in looking-help that found a prospective purchase within a day's drive. "I found out about it from my brother back in late-2005, early-2006," he says from his Succasunna, New Jersey, home. "The car had had a frame-off restoration by this guy in upstate New York, but it had passed to another owner who was frustrated by the fact that it had knock-off wheels on it. He'd driven the car, and one of the wheels started to come off, and it scared the hell out of him. He ended up parking the car in the garage, and he never drove it again."
That split-window had been restored by Paul Bohensky in his Elmira, New York, garage several years earlier. The car had been parked at a used-car store/body shop in Elmira, and though it didn't move through space, its journey through time left it with more than a few problems. Through his brother's efforts, Nick looked up the Sting Ray's owner. "When I called the owner, he said, 'Funny you should call right now. 'I just bought a lake house, and I frankly could use the money, so I might be willing to sell it if you want to do something quick." Nick adds, "Timing is everything in life, and this was just one of those things that happens for a reason."
Nick drove up to Elmira that weekend and checked out the '63. "We drove it around the block, and it was running rough, the brakes weren't really working, and there were a lot of issues with the steering," he recalls. "It hadn't been driven in about five or six years. The tires were lumpy-they'd never even rolled, it was like driving on square tires."
But what Nick calls "the bones of the car" were there, and he could tell that it needed to be "brought back from the dead," as he puts it. The deal was done, and Nick brought the '63 home. Over the next two years, he brought the Sting Ray into more than just drivable shape-it was ready for NCRS judging. But not before a lot of "little" things needed doing. "I must have spent about $10,000-$15,000 in parts," Nick says. "Me and Long Island Corvette got to know each other real well!"
The previous restoration was of good quality, but not a Top Flight-level restoration, so Nick set out to make his C2 worthy of the NCRS' top honors. "There were so many things that needed to be brought up to speed, like period tires, wheels and hubcaps, bolt head markings, engine detailing, finding the correct numbers-matching parts like the alternator, starter and regulator," he recalls while estimating that he did about 95 percent of the work himself that was needed to bring the split-window up to Top Flight quality. "The only things that I had done were rebuilding of the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders as well as sending out pieces like the clock and wiper motor to be rebuilt. When I found the right date-coded alternator, I sent that out to have new diodes put in and have the finish redone on it."
One thing that didn't need re-doing was the split-window's Daytona Blue exterior color. Paul Bohensky had re-painted the car in acrylic lacquer during the previous frame-off-the same type of paint Chevrolet used at St. Louis Assembly. "It's a little over ten years old, and it still has a great look to it," he says. "That's the beauty of lacquer, where you can just hit it, rub it out, and bring it back to like-new condition."
Also not needing much attention was the RPO L84 fuel-injected 327, and the RPO M20 four-speed manual transmission behind it. Nick says that the 327's Rochester mechanical fuel-injection system only needed a new diaphragm in the fuel meter, and the engine bay needed only a new radiator cap and a correct dipstick, plus new hoses and a clean-up.
When all was said and done, Nick had a Sting Ray that scored a Regional Top Flight at the Marlborough, Massachusetts, regional NCRS meet in 2006, and received the NCRS Performance Verification (PV) Award at the regional meet at Edison, New Jersey, the following year. Last year, Nick's midyear scored another Regional Top Flight at NCRS' regional meet at Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. Nick takes pride in saying that he did all the work needed to bring his midyear up to PV standards. "That was a challenge, because everything had to be flawless," says Nick, who adds that he hasn't missed a point on either the PV or the operational judging when the car was Top Flighted.
What's this car like to drive, and how does it compare with his other Corvettes? "I love this car to death!" says Nick. "To me, this is the iconic Corvette. The other ones-I love them for different reasons, but this one exemplifies what Corvette is to me, personally, I'm not a straight-axle guy-I like looking at those cars, but you see the '63 split-window everywhere, in magazines and on t-shirts and hats. Everybody recognizes that car. You don't have to be a Corvette guy-when somebody drives down the road in a split-window coupe, someone always says, 'My neighbor used to have one,' or 'I knew a guy who had one,' or 'I always wanted one.' Everybody knows what that car is. The fact that it's the color that I love, and it's a fuelie, just adds to the excitement and ownership of the car."
And it makes for a fine counterpart to the other Corvettes in his garage. "I have a '72 LT-1 Targa Blue convertible which is the sister to the coupe you had on the cover in July," says Nick. "Mine is a Duntov Award car-I bought it from a guy in New Jersey, who bought it from Bill Nichols, who's the current powertrain engineer for GM for the Corvette. He'd done a full body-off restoration on the car and Duntov'ed it about nine or ten years ago. Then I have a '69 427/400hp with air, Monaco Orange with black leather and side pipes. That's a scary-looking car!" Nick also has an '07 Z06, which he says is for getting in and driving when the weather's good.
If you've got a yearn for a specific year, body style or variation of Corvette, Nick has this advice: "Just get a car that's running, that you can get in and have fun, and you don't have to pay a lot of money for it. Over time, you can fix it up to be a driver, or chase that Top Flight banner, if that's what appeals to your sense of owning one of these cars. There are so many great cars kicking around, that you don't have to take one of these cars to the level of NCRS judging, and micromanage the restoration process down to the correct bolt-head markings and those things, because the cars are such fun to get in and drive, throw the top down if you have a convertible or pop the T-tops."
Or, get in and go, in the case of his Daytona Blue Split-Window Fuelie!

Hi all!
I just wanna say that if seeing is believing I've seen the Comic Guru himself in this fine Comedy medly. Not only does this comic comply with the mid-evil realm but it also adds a new light hearted twist to the all "perfect" elve reputaion so many have associated with the fictional rase. I believe this has the potential to become something of an orginal spoof of many classic storys/comics. So I intend on keeping my eye on this one folks, we have only just begun. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

What: US vs. Algeria, Group C, Matchday 3
When: Wednesday, 10 a.m. ET
Where: Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria
TV: ESPN, Univisión
Four years ago, the US knew they had a chance to book a spot in the knockout rounds of the 2006 World Cup with a win in their final group-stage game against Ghana. They failed miserably, losing 2-1 to the upstart Black Stars.
On Wednesday, the challenge is eerily similar. All the US need to do to reach the Round of 16 this time around is beat another upstart African team: Algeria. Clearly it's not that simple. The Algerians are here for a reason. But the US aren't the same team that wilted in Germany, says Landon Donovan.
"In the two World Cups I've been a part of, we hadn't strung together three consecutive good results and good performances, and I think this team has the experience and the ability to do that," the American star said on Monday. "We'll find out on Wednesday night."
Indeed we will. Every game for the US in South Africa has been billed as crucial, but this particular tilt will say a lot about whether the Americans are ready to truly step up when it counts. Will they be the same team that has surrendered the lead early in consecutive games? Or the second-half team that refuses to lose?
This is their chance. If they blow it against Algeria, they're out at the group stage for a second consecutive World Cup. Win, and they move on. Draw again, and they can still advance, but they'll need to rely on Wednesday's result between England and Slovenia, played simultaneously. And not being in control of their fate is not a position Donovan & Co. want to be in.
United States
For the US, the goal here is easy: Don't concede first. It's been a habit that has plagued the team for more than a year, and it cannot continue. Even though the Americans certainly play better when they're chasing, they can't do it again in a must-win game.
There isn't a ton of lineup juggling Bob Bradley will need to do against Algeria, since his first unit is more or less set. Robbie Findley is out due to yellow-card accumulation, which means Jozy Altidore will get a new partner up top. That could be Edson Buddle, who saw minutes off the bench against England, or it could be Clint Dempsey, who has experience in being pushed up from the midfield.
What's clear is that the José Francisco Torres experiment in central midfield is probably over for the short-term. Maurice Edu played well next to Michael Bradley against Slovenia, but the Michael Bradley-Ricardo Clark tandem has more chemistry together. How this game develops may dictate whom Bob Bradley uses.
Never mind their billing as the weakest team in Group C. Algeria made this World Cup on grit, and they deserve to be here. On their day, they can hang with the very best and are experts at getting under an opponent's skin—witness their 0-0 draw with England last week.
On their worst day, however, Les Fennecs are capable of total meltdowns, too—against Egypt in the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations this past January, Algeria saw three players sent off, one of whom head-butted the referee.
Personnel-wise, they have players all over Germany, England and France who are comfortable at this level of play. But most importantly, none of them are intimidated in the least. For them, this is also a must-win game, and arguably the most important match in Algerian history.
"The Algeria team also knows the USA team extremely well," coach Rabah Saadane said at Tuesday's pregame press conference. "I think we have the means to write Algerian football history [on Wednesday]."
Key Players
United States: Michael Bradley. With apologies to Donovan—who's arguably more dialed-in than at any point in his career—Bradley the Younger has perhaps been the Americans' player of the tournament. He has shown again and again that he is a force to be reckoned with on both sides of the ball, and his fiery competitiveness has been key to two US rallies.
Slovenia: Nadir Belhadj. The Portsmouth left back is about as dangerous an offensive weapon as Algeria have, especially if he moves up to midfield in a 3-5-2. He's quick, shifty and fearless, and he'll have no problem running right at whomever is in his way. If he's not shooting himself, he's the perfect link to underrated striker Karim Matmour, Bradley's teammate at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Final Analysis
Here's a scary statistic: The US have never won their third group-stage game in any World Cup. Ever. For them to advance, they have to stop that streak immediately. Algeria have yet to score a goal at this tournament, but that doesn't mean they can't get behind the US defense for a first. The key here is that the Americans must start strong, dictate the tempo and finish strong. Their survival depends on it.

Tk_GetVRootGeometry − Get location and size of virtual root for window
#include <tk.h>
Tk_GetVRootGeometry(tkwin, xPtr, yPtr, widthPtr, heightPtr)
Token for window whose virtual root is to be queried. Points to word in which to store x-offset of virtual root. Points to word in which to store y-offset of virtual root. Points to word in which to store width of virtual root. Points to word in which to store height of virtual root.
Tk_GetVRootGeometry returns geometry information about the virtual root window associated with tkwin. The virtual root is the one in which tkwin's nearest top-level ancestor (or tkwin itself if it is a top-level window) has been reparented by the window manager. This window is identified by a __SWM_ROOT or __WM_ROOT property placed on the top-level window by the window manager. If tkwin is not associated with a virtual root (e.g. because the window manager does not use virtual roots) then *xPtr and *yPtr will be set to 0 and *widthPtr and *heightPtr will be set to the dimensions of the screen containing tkwin.

Conservation and Environment in Nepal: Monthly Updates
Conservation in Nepal Monthly Update: December 2013 - January 2014
Hi everybody! I want to wish you all a Happy New Year 2014, and hope you all have incredible adventures and amazing wildlife sightings in the upcoming year! Your job, as a volunteer, is really important to us and the Projects Abroad team from Nepal would like to thank you for all your contributions and wish you all the best for 2014.
December 2013 and January 2014 have been an incredible two months. It's still fairly cold at night but during the day the warm sun is a real pleasure. During the past 2 months, we continued our Mammal survey in the Dobato area and captured some good pictures of different species and not to mention, had some fun in the fresh snow!
The birding survey is still bringing in a lot of new species (9 in January/December) with the migration of the birds from higher altitudes (altitudinal migration). We also discovered a new species in the local area, thanks to our cameras traps: the shy and elusive Indian Crested Porcupine (Hystrix indica).
And of course Christmas and New Years have been a new and incredible experience for all the volunteers and staff. The lack of a traditional Christmas tree didn't faze us as some of the volunteers set about making a tree out of bamboo, ferns and duct tape. In remote areas, imagination is always good to have!
Dobato Field trip
The field trips to Dobato continue and we have been able to spot (thanks to our remote cameras traps) several mammal species including: Himalayan black bear (Ursus thibetanus) several barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak) and a herd of 7 Common Ghorals (Naemorhedus goral). We have also been able to capture several bird species: Indian Blue Robin (Luscinia brunnea), White-throated Redstart (Phoenicurus schisticeps), Black Faced Laughing Thrush (Garrulax affinis), and the Himalayan Monal (Lophophorus impejanus), which is the national bird of Nepal.
After the hard, long hike up to 3600m and the following hikes to set the cameras, nothing beats relaxing in the comfort of a warm fire and the sweetness of good Masala tea (typical Nepali tea). The last trek up there, proved to be a once in a year trek, with the snow reaching up to our knees and even thighs in some parts! Despite the hard walk, we had some fun and left about 10 snowmen in our wake to welcome us on the way down. For some of us, it was our first time in the snow.
Bird Survey
Similar to the October/November survey, the December/January bird survey brought us numerous new species. It seems that every time we head into the field we spot a new species for our list. This is due to the fact that the cold weather at higher altitudes is forcing some bird species lower down on the mountains in an attempt to escape extreme temperatures and harsh conditions. Additionally, food is more plentiful on the lower slopes. This, coupled with the climate conditions has made our research very exciting this month as more and more birds take refuge from high altitudes heights.
During our last census we recorded 9 new species: Blue-throated Barbet (Megalaima asiatica) Dark-throated Thrush (Turdus ruficollis), Orange-flanked Bush Robin (Tarsiger cyanurus), Slaty-headed Parakeet (Psittacula himalayana), Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler (Xiphirhynchus supercilaris), Honary-throated Barwing (Actinodura nipalensis), Stripe-throated Yuhina (Yuhina gularis), Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker (Dicaeum melanoxanthum) and Rufous-breasted Accentor (Prunella strophiata).
Mammal survey
A new species have been found during our mammal survey, the Indian Crested Porcupine (Hystrix indica). Its long quills, which are a remarkable defensive weapon against predators like the Common leopard (Panthera pardus), make it is easy to identify this nocturnal animal. The porcupines gnaw bones and antlers found in the forest to receive minerals and vitamins, and they also eat roots, fruits etc.
According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), the Indian Crested Porcupine is not a threated species, its population is stable, and it can be found in a wide range of habitats (rocky hillsides, tropical and temperate shrubland, grasslands, forests, arable land, plantations, and gardens). It has a geographic range from the Eastern Mediterranean through to southwest and central Asia, and in the Himalayan Mountains, they can reach altitudes of up to 2400 meters.
In January we did some anti-poaching close to the village. The volunteers found several snares and traps designed to mainly catch ground birds. These have all have been destroyed and the authorities (Anapurna Conservation Area Project and the Forest Guide of the Conservation Area Management Committee) have been informed. More anti-poaching campaigning will be done during the next month targeting the wild area close to the village.
Christmas and New Years in Nepal is a unique experience! The volunteers celebrated with a homemade Christmas tree, a delicious feast and a visit from a Nepali Santa Claus! Christmas up here was certainly a different experience but definitely a highlight! New Years was celebrated down in Pohkara at the street festival with some volunteers from Chitwan.
I look forward to bringing you more news next time…

In his Friday Sermon today Huzur continued with the subject of Divine Compassion, Al Ra'uf. Speaking with reference to verse (3:31) of Surah Aal-e-`Imran
Huzur said that Allah the Exalted certainly has a most kind and compassionate way with His servants. His cautions and warnings against His punishment are designed as a source of deterrent and He puts them in place by virtue of His compassion. In drawing a parallel Huzur said that the clearer and the more obvious the traffic warning signs on the roadside are, the more alert, cautious and protected the motorist is.
Huzur further elucidated the subject in light of several Ahadith and said that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be on him) told us that the kindness and compassion that all creation mutually reciprocates is a consequence of Allah's allocation to them all a mere hundredth out of His mercy and compassion, the remainder He has set aside for His own bestowal on His creation. Huzur recounted that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be on him) said that no one's good deeds would ensure entry into Paradise, rather it will be the grace and mercy of Allah that will enable them to do so.
Huzur related many Ahadith illustrating the Holy Prophet's (peace and blessings be on him) compassion for animals and his directions for compassionate treatment towards living creatures ranging from camels, dogs and cats to birds' eggs in the nest. Hazoor also briefly touched upon the Promised Messiah's (on whom be peace) compassionate nature and his general advise on kindness towards living creatures that mostly centred on references to the compassion of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be on him).
Next Huzur announced that today is the third day of a most auspicious annual Jalsa taking place in Qadian. Huzur said for today the organisers of the Jalsa anticipate an estimated attendance of 55,000 to 60,000. Several Indian provincial dignitaries have sent their goodwill messages for the Jalsa. In conclusion Huzur said to remember all the participants of the Jalsa in our prayers.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

Tony Rich fixes himself a cup of coffee at the spacious Victoria-area home he shares with his wife Lisa Atterby.
The inscription on the cup says it all: "After the dog Honey, of course, you're No. 1."
Well sort of. On this day, it's not just one dog but 13. Some days there have been as many as 21 dogs here, but while the numbers change, the breed doesn't.
All of the dogs are cocker spaniels, who held the most-popular-breed spot in the United States for 25 years, beginning in 1936, until the beagle bounced them from No. 1.
Atterby developed her passion for the former top dog more recently.
The 41-year-old grew up with an English cocker spaniel called Trekka, and got her own first cocker spaniel at age 26 — a little black bundle called Buddy bought as a surprise gift by a former boyfriend from a pet store.
"He was such a gentle soul — just an amazing, smart dog. I'd come home on my lunch break every day and he'd be waiting by the window. He was so loyal," she said.
Now it's Atterby who could be best described as loyal — to the breed.
She and Rich personally own six cocker spaniels — Teddy, Owen, Carly, Bella, Cody and Levi — ages two to eight who run the gamut of cocker colours and personalities, from rambunctious to shy.
All but one of their dogs were rescued from U.S. "high-kill" shelters which put down unwanted or unfriendly dogs.
Owen was her first rescue. He was from Oklahoma and although a healthy five-month-old, he was scheduled to be euthanized before being rescued and joining Atterby's family.
By checking online, Atterby finds cocker spaniels needing homes in shelters and works with the Los Angeles-based non-profit organization Camp Cocker, which helps transport the dogs to Canada. Atterby opened her own rescue organization in 2008 and named it Angels Under Our Wings.
Dogs from the United States are allowed into Canada provided they have rabies shots.
In B.C, there are few people breeding cocker spaniels so they seldom wind up in local shelters.
In the U.S., where the breed is more popular, Camp Cocker volunteers find as many as 10 dogs every week in the "high-kill" shelters volunteers monitor near Los Angeles.
To date, Atterby's organization has rescued more than 200 dogs.
She runs Angels Under Our Wings out of the couple's home, dedicating their one-bedroom suite to the dogs (although the dogs are free to roam throughout the couple's main floor and run outside on the spacious lawn through a doggie door).
There are tidy pens for them to sleep in the suite's bedroom, doggie day beds scattered throughout the living room in front of the couple's large flat screen TV and dog bowls lined up along one wall of the suite's kitchen. There's also a "workshop" on the one-acre, fenced property that houses the dogs needing rehabilitation before being introduced to the dog pack.
It's a full-time job for Atterby, who considers herself lucky to have a husband willing to share his living space with so many dogs. The last time the couple took a vacation was on their honeymoon eight years ago to Maui.
But Rich, who has a full-time job working as a baker at Thrifty Foods, takes it all in stride.
"There are no days off. But how many people can say when they leave this planet they helped? Well, I can. I know in heaven I won't have to pick up dog poop," said Rich, regarding one of the many volunteer tasks he does for the organization.

It's A Regional Thing
I have been upset during the following year that the Tampa Bay Rays have rised to such heights in the Major League Baseball world, and the world still see Tampa Bay as a single city. It can get a bit unnerving to always have to defend the City of St. Petersburg as the town where the Rays plays, but the Tampa Bay community is it's resident home.
All of the major sports team who have graced this region have used the regional name. None have been pinpointed to be named the Tampa Bucs, or Tampa Lightning. The old North American Soccer League Champs were called the Tampa Bay Rowdies, not the Tampa Rowdies. The Rowdies were also the first professional team in our area to use the regional name on a championship trophy when they won the NASL's title in their 2nd season.
The Lightning is a great example of why using the Tampa Bay motif has worked well for a team. They first began play at the Florida State Fairgrounds, then moved to the Thunderdome (Tropicana Field) before moving to their current home, the St. Petersburg Times Forum in Tampa. If the team had kept the name based on their location city only, it would have had to change at least 3 times to designate a correct locale.
The Rays went on board with the respect for the region and decided to use the region as their entire demographic for baseball. Just becuase this area is a "hot bed" for Spring Training baseball, before the team was awarded, it was only a Class A destination for ballplayers on their way up the minor league scale.
The Tampa Bay region all have a personality of their own. Tampa Bay is considered the second largest hispanic community in the state of Florida, and it's pride is revealed bautifully in Ybor City. The region has a bridge system that is considered a masterpeice on the world's stage in the Skyway Bridge. Communities like Sarasota, with the Ringling Museum, and Clearwater where the Philadelphia Philles hold their Spring Training all add to the melting pot of the region.
For newspapers, radio and television to constantly pull the region down by calling them the "Tampa Rays", or that we play in "Tampa" is an insult to everything we have tried to complish with all these other sports. Is it because these other teams are actually located in Tampa and if they mess up, it is still within the guidelines of a locale and not a geographic nightmare.
The Rays and the City of St. Petersburg have a huge rolling backdrop showing the team plays in St. Petersburg. The team has it well defined in the 2008 Media Guide and also in the promotional materials given out to fans during the years. The tickets do not have the city stated on the, but is that the next step to getting that respectability from the country.
Or can the City of St. Petersburg keep taking this hits by the media by not correcting themselves or obtaining the first credo of journalism..Accuracy. Is the action oif a few going to effect the works of many. You bet they do. The 3 second sound byte by Tim McCraver or Joe Buck can destroy an entire year of city promotion or community identity becuase they did not convey the correct town name.
If the media can tell you that the New England Patriots play in Foxboro, Mass., why can they not tell you that we play in St. Petersburg. It is not all about "little brother", St Petersburg feeling totally inferior, it is about the civic pride I know I have for my town. Have you ever heard the Detroit Lions referred to as the Pontiac , Michigan Lions when they played there. No, but you knew the city they played in and also had the respect to call it correctly.
Maybe Matt Silverman needs to make up a secondary letter to the media. This time to instill a $ 1 dollar penalty anytime the city is not correctly identified on any kind of mideia from 2009 on. I think he could easily pay a few salaries with the money derived from that venture. Local DJ's can't even still get the name right, or will not even call them just the Rays.
People forget that before a few years ago, the largest crowd to ever watch a NHL playoff game was in the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Thunderdome was their home for many years, and I saw that contest against the Phildelphia Flyers. The commentators of that game on television got the locale correct, and that was over 15 years ago.
But during the MLB playoffs, the announcers selected to broadcast the post season on TBS and Fox could not be counted on to correctly name the community they were staying in for the series. Why is it that the world can not remember a simple name like St. Petersburg. Do we need to move to our sisiter city in Russia to get total recognition?
Nyet, we do not have to travel half the world to get respect. We just have to pound it into the media subconscious. But you would think a winning season and an incredible push to the World Series would tranform the city's name onto the tips of their tongues.
I even have a friend, Jeff, who is also on the Rays Fan Wall of Fame with me who is a dynamic supporter of this team. He is known as the "sign guy" by many at the Trop., and he mentioned to me he thought of making up T-shirts during the years stating that fact we are the Tampa Bay Rays " and not the "Tampa Rays".
We have had personalities like Kool and the Gang, and M C HAmmer make those mistakes during concerts this year and you heard the crowd correct them immediately. But as Jeff was going to put on his T-shirts, "It's a Regional Thing" either you get it, or you are clueless……….Which one are you?
Ray's Rally on Friday in St. Petersburg
The Rays may have fallen short of a World Series title, but that's no reason for the region to postpone a party.
St. Petersburg mayor Rick Baker said Thursday morning that plans were in the works to host a rally commemorating the Rays' historic season, which ended with Wednesday night's loss in Game 5 of the World Series.
The rally is tentatively scheduled for Friday at 4:30 p.m. ET in St. Petersburg's Straub Park and will feature manager Joe Maddon and several Rays players.
"We are getting all kinds of calls from fans and media asking where the celebration is going to be," Baker said in a phone interview on Thursday morning. "So we are going to try to honor that."
Baker agreed with Rays owner Stu Sternberg's comments that the club's successful season has opened up baseball to the entire Tampa Bay area. In fact, Baker was willing to take Sternberg's assessment one step further.
"It's had an incredibly positive effect, I think, on the whole west coast of Florida," Baker said. "There's been so much bad news right now. This has been such a lift in the sprits for people in the community."

For decades, Arkansans who enjoy the outdoors have gone on hikes, long or short. They have a wide variety of places to do this, and with options to fit all abilities.
Add water to this picture.
Coming on strong and growing in popularity are water trails of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. There are a half-dozen of them in use now, and more are in the planning stage, according to Kirsten Bartlow, the Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the agency.
"Most of our trails are for people using canoes and kayaks and who want flat water, not the rough water of some Arkansas streams," Bartlow said.
Currently, the commission has Arkansas Post Water Trail, Bayou DeView Water Trail, Crooked Creek Water Trail, Robe Bayou Water Trail, Wattensaw Bayou Water Trail and Cut-Off Creek Water Trail. Coming soon is the Maumelle River Water Trail.
Just like the hiking trails on land, these water trails are do-it-yourself for paddlers. Informative signs and put-in and take-out points are helpful. After these, the canoeist or kayaker is on his or her own.
"We want to make these trails easy for people. They should be comfortable taking kids along, and they should not have to be experts with paddles to use and enjoy the trails," Bartlow said. "Most of our trails are on flat water so people can go one way then paddle back to their starting point. They don't have to shuttle with vehicles like on the Buffalo River and other fast water streams."
Let's take a capsule look at one of the water trails.
Robe Bayou Water Trail is a close neighbor of the Bayou DeView Water Trail. It is in the Sheffield Nelson Dagmar Wildlife Management Area near Brinkley. To reach the trail, take U.S. 70 west from Brinkley or east from DeValls Bluff. Watch for a WMA sign at Dagmar Road. Turn north and travel under Interstate 40 for a little over two miles. Bear left at one intersection then bear left at another. Signs help at these junctions.
Just driving in will give a visitor a flavor of this country – swamp land. Cypress trees dominate Robe Bayou, which flows south to join Bayou DeView. On the road and at places on the water, the big and ancient trees form canopies.
Wildlife is abundant. Birds are numerous and varied. Those tiny flashes of blue are indigo buntings, and the Robe Bayou country has many of them. Take along fishing gear and you can go for bream, catfish, crappie and bass.
If water trail users want to camp, there are many designated sites along the trail and road. These have signs, and all are primitive camping. Small signs say "undeveloped campsite." This means the sites have no electricity and no drinking water supply. They have no trash receptacles and no toilets. No staff is on hand to answer questions or to give directions.
Expect mosquitoes if you camp along Robe Bayou.
The Robe Bayou Water Trail is 4 1/2 miles long. Its southern or downstream end is practically under Interstate 40.
Except immediately after a heavy rain, the water in Robe Bayou is placid, meaning easy paddling.
There are no fees involved, no signing in, no time keeping required in using any of the water trails. Make a checklist at home of what to take. Go with a friend, a relative, a youngster and enjoy a bit of the Arkansas back country at your own pace.

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.

Until a few months ago, Karen Smith seldom visited discount stores. She has a steady job as a restaurant server, and her husband is in the Coast Guard. She didn't feel they needed to.
Until now. Lately, Smith has been shopping regularly at the Family Dollar Store on Route 139 – for juice and snacks for their 4-year-old son Nathaniel and other things, too.BUDGET STORES IN GOOD SHAPE

"We're being cautious," she said, as she browsed the children's shelves.
Long a favorite of retirees, bargain hunters and working-class families, budget stores like Family Dollar and Ocean State Job Lot are drawing a wider range of customers these days, as the recession deepens.
In an overlooked niche amid supermarkets, shopping malls and giant discounters like Wal-Mart and BJ's Wholesale Club, stores like Family Dollar and Ocean State are selling increased amounts of food, laundry detergent and other household products, and comparatively less clothing and other merchandise – yet another sign that consumers are concentrating on what they need, rather than what they'd like to have.
That's the mood Dedham teacher Elizabeth Hetzler was in at the Ocean State store in Quincy, as she filled her shopping cart with flavored crackers and other staples.
"I'm buying more now because I figure it will be more expensive later," she said.
Boston College marketing professor Roberta Clarke said the recession has left most consumers choosing low price over brand names for everything from groceries to flat-screen TVs. Ocean State manager Scott King and Family Dollar spokesman Joshua Braverman say their companies are trying to capitalize, by selling overstocks of well-known brands and designer items for less.
The strategy has produced higher sales and net earnings for Family Dollar, as most national retailers are losing money. Braverman said the Charlotte-based chain isn't trying to take advantage of hard times, though he did say the company is more "recession resilient" than most.
That was easy to see on a recent afternoon, when longtime customers like Lynn Morris and her daughter Drucilla Morris shared the aisles with Karen Smith and a recently laid-off corporate job recruiter.BOOMING BUSINESSES
Not everyone is struggling to get a job. A sampling of some workers that are still in demand:
- Auto repairmen
- Barbers, hair salon employees
- Casual-dining cooks, servers
- Corrections officers
- Health care workers
- Software programmers
- Telecommunications workers, especially installers
Sources: Professor Roberta Clarke, Boston University; Professor Alan Clayton-Matthews, University of Massachusetts-Boston; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Robert, who declined to give his last name, was there with his wife, "trying to stretch our limited resources," he said.
The Morrises were regulars even before Lynn Morris lost her job with an Abington tool company that moved out of state. They go more often now.
"You can make your budget better," said Drucilla Morris, who's 23 and has been sending out resumes for sales and clerical jobs.
Hetzler and her husband don't have to worry as much about their budget, but like other Ocean State and Family Dollar customers, they aren't shopping as much, and rarely indulge impulse purchases.
"You think, 'Do I really need that?'" Hetzler said.
On the other side of the store, plumber and Quincy native Bobby Martin was browsing for bargains, too – and thinking about the stories his father told him about growing up during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when he and his parents occasionally had to visit Boston soup kitchens to get by.
"As long as I'm not in a soup line, I'm doing OK," Martin said.
Ocean State manager Scott King figures most of his customers are still doing OK, too, because his store is selling more bags of birdseed than it did before the recession set in.
"People still want to feed the birds," he said.

SEATTLE, Washington - NHRA Div 6 2002 Schedule Released Mike Rice, Director for NHRA Division Six announced the Northwest Division 2002 Schedule today. The popular series will return to the same tracks in 2002, but with two new venues. Mission Raceway, which hosted two divisional series events last year will host only one event in 2002. Racers and fans will return to Kent Washington to Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA.
"I'm extremely excited about bringing a divisional event back to Pacific Raceways." said Rice. "Pacific Raceways had long been the "go to" track of the Northwest Division, and I look forward to helping Jay Livingston and the Fiorito family bring the facility and its events back to that status. With the Lucas Oil Northwest Nationals returning in July of 2002, this event will give our racers and fans a preview of what's in store."
A seventh event will be held August 16-18, 2002 at Race City Motorsports Park in Calgary, Alberta. Mike commented about the Calgary event: "The Calgary race will count toward any and all championships. It will only go against a racers quota as an out of division event. This event will not count toward the Jeg's All-Star program, that is the only difference."

The time has come for breast cancer risk assessment, counseling and genetic testing to move from cancer specialists to the realm of primary care, according to a presentation at the AAAS annual meeting, held this year in Boston.
"A growing body of evidence has documented the benefits of preventive measures for high-risk women including those with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes," said Funmi Olopade, MD, the Walter L Palmer Distinguished Service professor of medicine and director of the Cancer Risk Clinic at the University of Chicago Medical Center. "Referral for cancer-risk assessment and BRCA testing in the primary care setting is a necessary next step towards personalized medicine for women at risk for breast cancer."
Most high-risk women present in the primary care setting, she said. Primary care physicians should learn about the genetics of cancer risk, take a comprehensive personal and family history and advise patients who appear to be at increased risk about the plusses, minuses and limitations of genetic testing and risk-reduction strategies.
Physicians now have enough information to help patients understand the consequences of genetic testing, she added. Studies have found that genetic counseling and testing do not cause adverse psychological effects. There is convincing data on the risk reduction associated with prophylactic surgery--removal of the breasts and or ovaries to prevent cancer in those with known mutations. And preventive measures for those at risk now extend beyond pre-emptive surgery to intensive screening and chemoprevention.
"More than ten years after BRCA1 and BRCA2 were identified as major breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes," Olopade added, "primary care providers should embrace genetic risk assessment and BRCA mutation testing."
There is still a great deal that we don't know about these cancer-causing mutations, she added. The frequency and impact of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in various ethnic groups is still poorly understood, with conflicting results clouding the picture. As a consequence, genetic testing is underused by many ethnic groups.
Scientists are still finding new mutations of these genes. Some of these mutations increase disease risk and some may not. These genes may also interact with the environment or with other genes in ways that could modify their effects.
Even the methods of genetic testing can vary. Some tests look only for common mutations; others sequence the entire gene and look for tiny variations.
"There is still a great deal that we do not know about the role of these genes in inherited as well as sporadic breast cancer," said Olopade. "But we do know that mutation of these genes is common in families with hereditary breast cancer and among young women with breast cancer and that when we know a patient has a mutation there are several options to reduce the risk of breast cancer."
No other predictor is as powerful as an inherited mutation in the tumor-suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. "Our goal," Olopade said, "is to make this knowledge more and more available to patients, and that has to begin in the primary care setting. Only then can we hope to reap the benefits of individualized medicine."

Three Reasons MySpace Ad Platform Will Fail Too
MySpace Launches Another Social Networking Ad Platform
In case you didn't know, MySpace launched their DIY (Do It Yourself) ad platform. Check out this CNET article for the details. And, in the event you don't like to read, here's a condensed screenshot:
Three Reasons MySpace's New Ad Platform is Going to Fail:
1) Like FaceBook, the MySpace ROI Will Be Dismal:
The ROI (Return on Investment) will not be there. Advertisers are going to kick in a lot of money and get very little out of it. Why? Two considerations to take into account:
2) Targeting the Pre-Pubescent and Immature (a.k.a. No Money of Their Own)
MySpace, ideally, should be used for advertisers shooting for 13-21. That's right, you're targeting the pre-pubescent and the immature. They have very little money of their own to spend. And, that's ok. That's your niche. They also have a very high degree of "banner blindness", that is, they've trained themselves to ignore ads and focus on content which matters to them.
a) The MySpace Layout:
The MySpace layout is a complete cluster. It's completely scrambled eggs. Users are lucky to distinguish between important things on the page, let alone advertising. They might switch over to a "new" layout like FaceBook, where it shapes and prunes the ads from the FaceBook content, but only until advertisers start to complain about their ROI on these ads. And, even then, it won't be enough to bring the advertisers back.
3) ROI on Social Networking is a Myth
I asked the question, "how many SEMs and Web Marketers will be using the new MySpace Ad Platform? Why or Why Not?" I got some great answers from CommunityMGR (a.k.a. James Wong).
And, I couldn't agree more with CommunityMGR: if you're a corporation looking to use social media, then you should be using social media/social networking sites for BRAND MANAGEMENT and sculpting BRAND REPUTATION. And, as James points out, that is the true ROI: keeping your brand image and reputation exactly as you need it to be with consumers. There's no price you can pay for that, and in the long run that's truly an ROI multiplier.
So, before you dive head first into these ad programs offered by your "favorite" social networks, ask yourself what it is that you really want to accomplish. Because if you really want ROI, then you should look elsewhere.

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Felix Mendelssohn
Enter the enchanted land of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a lush forest besieged by quixotic love triangles and feuding fairy kingdoms, awash with magic at every turn.
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of his happiest and most loved comedies. It is called a "Dream" because of the unrealistic events the characters experience in the play — real, yet unreal, such as crossed lovers, meaningless quarrels, forest chases leading to more confusion, and magic spells woven by the infamous Puck. Balanchine had been familiar with Shakespeare's play from an early age. As a child he had appeared as an elf in a production in St. Petersburg, and he could recite portions of the play by heart in Russian. Balanchine loved Mendelssohn's overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream (composed over a period of 15 years with the overture (Opus 21) first in 1826, and the other sections later in Opus 61). It is this score, Balanchine later said, that inspired his choreography. Mendelssohn had written only about an hour's worth of music for the play, not enough for an evening-length dance work, so Balanchine added the following pieces, listed in the order of being played: Overture to Athalie, Opus 74; Overture to The Fair Melusine, Opus 32; excerpts from The First Walpurgis Night, Opus 60; Symphony No. 9 for Strings; Overture to Son and Stranger, Opus 89.
Midsummer night has long been associated with love and magic. In European folklore it is the one night of the year when supernatural beings such as fairies are about and can interact with the real world. It is also a date that falls near the summer solstice, which was traditionally a time for fertility rites and festivals devoted to love. Shakespeare's 1595 play has been the source for films, an opera by Benjamin Britten (1960), and a one-act ballet by Frederick Ashton, called The Dream (1964). George Balanchine's version, which premiered in 1962, was the first wholly original evening-length ballet he choreographed in America. Two years later, on April 24, A Midsummer Night's Dream opened the New York City Ballet's first repertory season at the New York State Theater (now the David H. Koch Theater).

The Gulf County 2012 election cycle is over.
By Tom Graney
The Gulf County 2012 election cycle is over. Hopefully this will lead to more open effective and efficient government. Wow, even something as radical as County Wide Voting may be on the horizon.
However, one ridiculous issue that loomed over the entire cycle that began before the candidate registration period closed and lasted through Election Day and still is not resolved to this day. That is The State Attorney�s Office (SAO) investigation of citizens exercising their first amendment rights. A group of residents/citizens formed a Political Action Committee (PAC) called Citizens Improving Gulf County. This PAC, properly registered with the Supervisor of Elections had active members from every district in the County; its effect seemed to bring almost a �County Wide Voting� atmosphere to the process as they highlighted BOCC Commission issues and performance across the entire county, a welcome service and activity. After some rough starts this PAC became very effective delivering its message, it definitely was a plus during this cycle, and I hope it continues- next issue �County Wide Voting�. Apparently the PAC activities caused great concern among a group of residents who prefer the status quo.
This faction rather than deal with issues in public campaigns as the political process normally provides chose to engage in activities to discredit and intimidate the PAC and its members.
How did this all this happen? This is what occurred to the best of my knowledge with some conclusions and opinion mixed in. On June 28 I met with my friend, Commissioner Bill Williams. We had always planned to talk about how he would end his term of office since he and I both had long understood he was not going to run again. He gave me the time and place as he often did because of his schedule lunch �beers together- cigars etc. We met, my interest was to get Bill to end his term as Commissioner and current Chairman gracefully calming down the commission politics, thank his supporters, remind all he was a Republican, that he wanted the party and county to continue grow, but his effort over eight years was long enough and he had to focus now on personal life and business. Also I wanted him to endorse a successor candidate, Joanna Bryan, as the best choice for the District Three voters. These political issue conversations were routine, we usually had them at least monthly over the past 12 years, sometimes weekly or even daily in the election cycle. We were close friends as were our families and he usually served our district and county well. At the time I thought this particular conversation was really wide ranging and a little strange as he kept leading the topic to the PAC�s activities particularly as related to Commissioner Warren Yeager�s activities but, oh well.
About a week later two men appeared at my house, told me they were investigators from the SAO and asked if I would talk to them concerning an inquiry into criminal activity. I initially thought they were dealing with an ethics complaint that I heard had been filed concerning Yeager. As we talked it became clear that the interview was about my conversation with Williams; they informed me it had been recorded. They said that at that time I was a �witness� to an attempt at criminal extortion by the PAC and particularly Mr. Garth. My reaction was that�s ridiculous there was nothing but our discussion of the political environment as we saw it and how Williams should handle it positively. A lot of circular Q+A followed in an attempt to intimidate me. They then asked me if I would wear a wire and have a planned conversation with Garth. My answer was of course not, but if they wanted to talk to both of us, either I would get him on the phone for a four-way conversation or he would be here in a few minutes to resolve any issues they thought existed. They said not now but they would consider it. Soon the tenor of the conversation changed. They said, �Well extortion had occurred,� one of them insisted on reading me the statute, �and someone would be arrested and charged, if they could not get evidence on Garth, then I could be the one arrested.� My response was- �If the witness (me) saw no crime then the witness is the criminal?� The conversation continued like this for about 45 minutes and really got very silly. They asked me if I would testify against Garth. My answer was I would tell anyone the truth but I did not believe that it would indicate any criminal activity. They asked me who was a member of the PAC. I answered that I did not know anyone for certain other than Garth but that it was registered at the Election Supervisors Office; go look. They read me a list of names and asked if I knew about them I don�t remember all the names. My impression as the dialog continued was, the investigator from FDLE attitude changed and he began to see that this was much ado about nothing. The other guy from the SAO office continued to be somewhat confrontational and the meeting soon ended. I asked them for their business cards and believe it or not, both said they didn�t have any, -- other coat or other truck or something. They said they would be in touch as soon as they talked to Garth about a four-way meeting. I said fine and never heard from them again except by telephone an hour or so later saying they would not be setting up a meeting with Garth and me. That ended any contact I had with the SAO office and I thought the issue very silly �keystone Kops� like, and appropriately dead. Also I never heard from �my former old friend Williams again.� Except for one cryptic e-mail a few days later that indicated Garth should be concerned and feel threatened. Hmmm� oh well. The issue of who authorized this conversation to be taped and based on what evidence or probable cause was never discussed with them, but it concerned me, I noted it, and will discuss it later.
The primary election process went into full swing moving to the vote. As the door knocking and campaign contacts increased I was surprised to be asked and be contacted by people who made direct remarks and veiled references to the PAC investigation. Obviously this confidential investigation was �leaking� and threats and misinformation concerning PAC members or candidates they supported were floating. Although I never heard of any specific activity by the �investigators� or SAO during this period.
The primary ended the voters spoke, and we moved into the general campaign. The � investigators� suddenly reappeared I received alerts from several candidates and friends that the investigators were back and visiting candidates or alleged PAC members requesting meetings/interviews, at least four residents contacted me to let me know? Why me, because it was also now common knowledge that there was a tape out there of my conversation with Williams. Wow �well run confidential investigation -not! Or a vehicle to intimidate the PAC, Garth, or selected candidates-oh well, whatever? Sometime during this period I learned that the investigation was formally closed by Mr. Glenn Hess on Oct. 16 with no action taken.
The capstone finale for this whole sordid six month event was the BOCC meeting of Oct. 25, 2012 just one week before Election Day. I urge everyone to see the tape if you have not. This was a clearly well staged planned event intended to smear the PAC members, Garth, and it was obvious. Their plan was to get the now closed SAO investigation into the public arena to create a guilt by accusation and association premise, since they knew as of Oct. 16 there will be no criminal findings and no handcuffs. All commissioners were involved. They got a resident, Ms. Christine McElroy, a known associate of Yeager, who had been used previously to attack Garth and the PAC. The result- a 20-minute plus diatribe supported by unanimously approved three minute time extensions. McElroy was set up to enthusiastically reveal confidential information about the SAO investigation and then embellish it with falsehoods and innuendo intended to smear the PAC members, Garth, Bryan and others. Commissioner �I wore a wire� Williams will brag, then lie about the investigation being serious and ongoing even though they all knew it was closed on Oct. 16 with no action. Also he will throw in a personal attack along with McElroy, to implicate Bryan.Commissioner McLemore will threaten � blow-ins� and the PAC with deportation; Commissioner Tan Smiley will ask why we can�t come together and keep politics out of politics; Commissioner Ward McDaniel will misquote the constitution and Yeager will smile and talk about the good old days when we all behaved.
Probably an unintended consequence of this performance was that the so-called criminal investigation conducted by the SAO was now public and the closed file could be demanded by the public and the press. That occurred, after many delays and unresponsive dealings with the SAO office it was released to �The Star�. I have reviewed the file and predictably it raises more questions about the entire silly episode than it answers. (Note: As a senior Army Commander one duty I performed was Court Martial Convening Authority. That is similar to the role of a District Attorney, in my case for a community of 25,000 soldiers, families and civilian employees. Over three years I reviewed and decided actions taken in 50-75 criminal cases based on the file provided by MP and CID investigators guided by the Staff Judge Advocate. Based on that experience, in my opinion, this case file is woefully inadequate. It is incomplete, unprofessional and if this meets the standard for the FDLE and/or the SAO for a controlled and well directed criminal investigation those of us who reside in this district and rely on the justice system to protect us and our rights have a serious problem.) The discrepancies in the file and investigation report are numerous and writing an analysis of the issues and inconsistences would take more time and space than I have now. A quick list of several of issues as I see them follows.
The sworn statements from Williams and others are not accurate and in three instances may be deliberate lies. They read like a telephone pass it on game and any experienced investigator should have been skeptical.
The dates of the statements appear to bend time. Apparently Williams made his complaint to SAO about June 17, yet the sworn statement was signed the day of our wired conversation (June 28, 2012) - why? Who reviewed those documents and authorized the taping? No record of that authorization or conclusion is in the file.
The file ends with the interview with me on July 17 as I think it should have; since it should have been clear at that point to any competent investigator that there was no criminal activity or �blackmail.� However, Mr. Hess says the investigation was not concluded until Oct. 16. What occurred during that 90 day period? There are no entries in the file.
There is no record of the three attempts to conduct interviews that I know occurred between July and August?
No record of the three interviews with McElroy which she said (Oct. 25) were conducted?
No record of the interviews with the individuals mentioned by McElroy (Oct. 25) in which she reported the subjects invoked their Fifth Amendment privilege?
No activities mentioned that supposedly led to the discovery of a previous felony conviction of Garth? No record of any documents that led to that conclusion. Who? What? Where? This very publicly released investigation finding/accusation has yet to be documented by any evidence. The Supervisor of Elections office when pursuing appropriate actions asked the SAO office for the evidence/record and was told, �Never mind� and Garth has yet to receive any response from the SAO to his request of 75 days ago?
What happened between July 17 and Oct. 16? There were several visits to county residents by investigators and multiple attempts at interviews. Several after the primary election date when commissioner Yeager the alleged victim was reelected. Since there is no record in the investigation file, the question becomes was all this activity just meant to intimidate Garth, the PAC, candidates or voters.
This saga can continue for many more pages but I am out of time and paper. What does all this mean for us Gulf County residents, voters, and candidates? Is the SAO so easily duped by pols and influence peddlers that he can�t determine free speech from crimes? Did someone in the SAO�s office deliberately participate in an effort to intimidate the PAC, Garth, voters and candidates? Every Gulf County voter must look at the issues put them in the context of that election cycle and decide for themselves. Then recognize that we are less than two years from the next one and two of the commissioners, Smiley and McDaniel, who participated in the �Clown Act� of Oct. 25, will be up for reelection and Hess is up two years after that. I believe this whole episode was contrived to intimidate, suppress the free speech activities of citizens and candidates of Gulf County. If you think the same, remember it and hold them all responsible for ineptitude or attempting to use the law and your tax dollars to intimidate and influence your election process.

It had been a week since the alien female was tossed into a locked dungeon in the bottom of the Citadel of Shadows in Eidios. Geli's entire body ached through the dull haze of her brainware pain suppression software and war drugs being pumped into her system by said cerebral computer. The day they'd brought her in, after she'd totalled five or six of their strongest warriors in one move, she'd found herself chained and strapped to a stone slab in the dankest jail she'd ever been in (and she'd been in quite a few). The first sets of bespelled chain had only slowed her down. They'd tried beating her senseless...she healed. They tried spells, drugs, and even two psychics and a telepath. Nothing worked to keep her helpless...and their three braincasses were now slowly being digested. While she looked like a human woman, some six feet tall, with features straight out of a Playboy centerfold, she in truth was a bioengineered killing machine. The only reason why the elves hadn't executed her was because their city guardian, some prat named Nightstalker, was busy convincing the senate that she would be the perfect weapon to do their dirty work. IF, they could control her, that is. So far, the control option didn't seem to work.
At the moment, three geomanceres had strapped her down with solid diorite tentacles. It was quite amusing seeing them cast the spell, until frigid coils of stone looped around her curvy body and stuck her to that slab so tightly that she could barely breath. One of the wizards now stood at her feet, keeping an eye on the stone.
"You're lucky y'know, usually strange creatures like you are sold to Blacksands for experimentation in our Alien study program." He said coldly, arms folded in the heavy gray sleeves of his robe. "You're not as tough as they said you were femme." The black haired elf smirked down at her before walking around the edge of the slab, carefully trailing his slender fingers along his stone welding handywork and the naked expanse of her flesh between. "Why you're not more than a woman."
"Come a little closer and I'll show you what this woman can do." She hissed through clenched teeth. It was an empty threat; it took all of her concentration to fight back the wild sea of error messages that were popping up in her vision from being stuck like this for so long. Low on glucose, low on energy, low on salt, water, protein...she felt weak as a kitten...her nanomachines had begun to find materials to repair her hurting body by eating her own muscles. Even if he'd let her go right now, she probably wouldn't have been able to run out of the room, let alone put the fear of god in the prick. She only hoped that her daughter Crescendo was fairing better in the Senate than she was.

Best Motoring. I don't know how you jokers got your hands on the cars you did, but you're the envy of every gasoline-loving person on the planet.
For instance! Did you know that they once dragged a Dodge Viper GTS against a Ferrari F40? Only Best Motoring could pull that kind of shit off, I swear to God. But as good as the Viper is, this isn't really a fair fight, and it ends the way you think it would.
So then they bring something that's (supposedly) a more even match with the F40: a Jaguar XJR-15. It too falls before the mighty Ferrari.
You come at the king, you best not miss.

Members of the public may watch the arraignment of self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other terror suspects Saturday at Fort Meade, a Pentagon spokesman said Monday.
Mohammed and his co-defendants are to be arraigned at Guantanamo Bay on charges of terrorism and murder in the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 193.
Fort Meade is one of four military bases scheduled to receive a secure, closed-circuit television feed of the proceedings, Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale said. It remains unclear whether there will be a separate viewing site in the Washington area for family members of victims.
Mohammed and the others are accused of helping to plan and carry out the attacks. If convicted, they could be sentenced to death.
Their cases, which have been stalled for years, are now moving forward after the guilty plea of a former Baltimore County man in February.
Majid Shoukat Khan, the first of the 14 so-called high-value detainees at Guantanamo Bay to be convicted, is expected to testify against his alleged former colleagues.
Khan, a native of Pakistan who landed in Catonsville with his family in 1996 and graduated from Owings Mills High School three years later, told a military tribunal in February that he had conspired with Mohammed and with al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in plots in Indonesia, Pakistan and the United States.
If he gives the government his "full and truthful cooperation," he will serve no more than 19 years for his role in a 2003 suicide car bombing at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta that killed 11, according to his plea agreement.
His testimony is expected to help prosecutors work around evidence obtained through torture.
A military judge has authorized video feeds of the arraignments to eight sites at six locations, Breasseale said Monday.
Fort Meade, the location nearest to the Pentagon, will have viewing sites for news reporters and the public, Breasseale said. A separate site there for family members won't be available on Saturday, he said, but another location in the Washington area remains under consideration.
Families of victims may watch from Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, N.Y., Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and Fort Devens in Massachusetts, Breasseale said.
Firefighters and others who responded to the attacks, as well as relatives of the rescuers who were killed, may watch from a separate facility at Fort Hamilton.
An earlier version of this story quoted a Pentagon official as saying that a viewing site at Fort Meade for family members of victims would not be ready in time for the arraignments on Saturday. The official says readiness was not the issue; the site will not be available on Saturday.
