Party Censures Commissioners over V2
Public Radio Tulsa | By KWGS News
Published August 21, 2012 at 6:59 AM CDT
Tulsa Republican County Commissioners are getting their hands slapped with a censure for the party leadership. The G-O-P Committee voted to censure Commissioner John Smaligo and Fred Perry for voting to place the Vision-2 question on the November Ballot. A news release from the party says Republicans are opposed to government intervention into private business.
READ THE GOP News Release Below:
TULSA COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
Members of the Tulsa County Republican Party County Committee met on Saturday, August 18, 2012 and adopted a resolution calling for the defeat of the Vision2 county sales tax propositions on the November ballot and opposing any use of Vision 2025 funds to support, promote, or fund Vision2.
The County Committee is the governing body of the Tulsa County Republican Party, consisting of all Republican precinct chairmen and vice-chairmen, who are elected at precinct meetings every two years.
The resolution expresses opposition to government intervention in the private sector, the amount of debt to be incurred, the cost of that debt in interest and fees, the 13-year length of the proposed tax, and the effective surrender of city-owned assets to county control. Below is the text of the resolution:
Resolution Opposing Passage of Vision2 Tax Proposal
Adopted by the Tulsa County Republican County Committee
Whereas, the Tulsa County Republican Party County Committee believes in limited government and less taxes, and
Whereas, the Tulsa County Republican Party County Committee believes government intervention into private businesses as demonstrated in the GM bailout is wrong and not the best use of tax dollars, and
Whereas, the Tulsa County Republican Party County Committee believes it is bad policy for any level of government to go into debt, and
Whereas, the proposed Vision2 tax in Tulsa County would cost Tulsa County taxpayers $748.8 million in new taxes, and
Whereas, the proposed Vision2 tax would extend the existing Vision 2025 tax from expiring in 2017 to expiring in 2029, and
Whereas, a major portion of the Vision2 tax is to improve three facilities at the Tulsa International Airport and to create a $52.9 million "closing fund", and
Whereas, most businesses in Tulsa County will be disadvantaged by this tax as they will not be given any influx of taxpayer dollars to support their business yet some will be competing directly with these few tax supported businesses, and
Whereas, over $90 million of the tax dollars will be spent on interest and bond costs, and
Whereas, the cities of Tulsa County should not surrender control of city assets to a county government,
Therefore, be it resolved the Tulsa County Republican Party County Committee does not support the passage of the Vision2 tax package and urges all Tulsa County voters to oppose these ballot initiatives on November 6, 2012, and
Therefore, be it resolved no Vision 2025 funds shall be used to support, promote or fund Vision2,
This is approved by members of the Tulsa County Republican Party County Committee on this 18th day of August, 2012.
In addition to adopting the above resolution opposing the Vision2 county sales tax, the members of the County Committee voted to censure Republican County Commissioners John Smaligo and Fred Perry for voting to place the Vision2 sales tax propositions on the ballot.
The Tulsa County Republican Party Platform states:
? We support reductions, when feasible, of both taxes and government spending as a general rule of government.
? We oppose any tax increase without demonstrated public need.
Smaller, limited government and lower taxes are a foundation principal of the Republican Party. The Vision2 tax package fully goes against the very principles on which fiscal conservative Republicans stand for.

It is a little known fact that mudlarks must be licensed.
It is a little known fact, because very few know what the thoroughly modern mudlark is.
According to the Port of London Authority, a mudlark permit is awarded to any metal detector who wishes to dig in the mud on the foreshore of the River Thames for treasure- to a depth of up to 1.2 metres.
But not just anyone gets a mudlark permit.
You have to have had a standard permit – one which allows digging to 7.5cm – for two years, and to have had a proven record of reporting your finds to the Museum of London, before the PLA will even think about issuing one.
The river police are quite hot on this, it seems. They can arrest anyone digging enthusiastically without a license because the Museum of London guards the finds on the Thames, between Westminster to Wapping, zealously.
Take a look at the strange but wonderful website of the Thames and Field Metal Detecting Society and you will see immediately why.
Sword hilts, cannon balls, belt buckles and buttons, dandy clay wig curlers, bells, keys, knives and forks: the list is apparently endless, stretching from Roman times until the present day, a record of the social history of an ancient metropolis.
Mudlarks have been trawling the Thames mud forever, though it is a dangerous business, dicing with the tides and the quagmire. A mudlark could scavenge things to sell in the 18th and 19th centuries, making a spare living. The mudlarks were usually children or OAPs, mostly boys but a few girls.
The outspoken but highly engaging TFMDS site came to mind yesterday as we walked on the beach close to our holiday cottage in Folkestone.
We love to trawl for bits of old pottery and glass. Dover and Folkestone are ancient, if bawdy, settlements with histories stretching back past the Roman Portus Dubris to the Bronze Age. Ever since then,social artefacts have washed into the sea, and drifted aimlessly in the English Channel.
We sat waiting for my mother to finish talking to another dogwalker, in the baking sun, on a utilitarian concrete slipway, and my husband drifted off to comb the beach.
Five minutes later, he was back with a find.
It is a very thin spoon head, with the most delicate neck. Its bowl is an engaging ellipse bent by the tide.
Though Roman spoons have been found in the area, the join between the stem and bowl is fan-shaped, and we can find no other examples of this in Roman spoons.
If it hasn't rusted we hazarded that it might be pewter, a common alloy between the 16th-18th centuries. Phil thinks it's 1820s: we have found similar examples in our trawl of the internet.
But it's so thin: so delicate, as you hold it in your hand, a puzzle from another time. There's something about it that just feels earlier.
The children immediately disappeared, off down the beach, intense concentration on their foreheads. They were off to make their own finds.
I paused to wonder: should sandlarks be licensed?
Better not dig any deep holes.

🙂 No more than you, Julia. I have been following your blog with interest- you write with such integrity.
Maybe it was a little Roman child who forgot his bucket and spade. Had to make do with the trifle spoon instead. Bet he cried when he lost it.
Maybe it was, Myfanwy: it would more likely be some uncouth Folkestone sailor, on his way to smuggle something or threaten someone. And the infuriating thing is, we will only ever be able to tell stories. We will never know for sure.
Maybe Mike Webber, MoLAS and marine archaeologist could help. I think he can be contacted via the Thames Explorer Trust and this outfit http://www.thamesdiscovery.org/about/ but I believe he has also done work on the Kent coast. He is a very entertaining speaker, and his foreshore walks are fantastic.
Oooh, wonder if he's on Twitter, Isobel? He sounds the sort of person whose talks I should try to get to see!
How exciting! I would be digging all day 🙂 Good luck to the children on their treasure hunt.
Good thing a license is not needed for a lark on the sand.
Beautiful artefact. You seem to be having an idyllic holiday.
We are lucky, it's true, Roger. There's so much to do here.
Is this true? I'd be so busted.
I live for quirky little finds such as your spoon and beaches offer up the best-est.
They do, Hudson! But take a look at that strange website I linked to, the Thames metal detectors. Their finds are just the stuff of dreams.
Mudlarks?! How very, very interesting, Kate and what an intriguing find for Phil. Here I roam, just looking for feathers, and there you are, on holiday, sifting sand and finding artifacts while your mum chats with a dog walker. I am in awe of how much you and your family squeeze into a day and of your amazing way of telling a story.
This time of year is a precious one: the school hols are a perfect time for exploring, and we choose our holiday destination so that we are in the thick of the history, Penny. If you are ever over here you simply must come for a tour of this area. It's compelling!
Are you allowed to keep your find though? Sounds like the museum can decide to keep it? then again, you guys are perched on stacks of spoils – you're so lucky!
So I take that real treasure troves, like ancient, decaying bags full of Viking treasure, for instance, gets taken away? Guess that makes sense – some idiots would probably try to melt it down and sell it when it's in fact, priceless. Sorry, I'm rambling.
Another great post – I love how you and yours find interest anywhere and everywhere, and then add some of your own to make it even better.
I know what mudlarks are only because I read a lot of historical mysteries set in London, and they're always talking about the mudlarks along the Thames. Nice find, Kate! I'd be sorely tempted to dig up that entire beach to see what else I could find. And thanks for the link to the Thames and Field Metal Deteecting Society—I'm going to have fun looking through that.
It is a scream, Weebles. Outspoken (to put it mildly) and grammar has no place there. But the things they have found and their dedication to what they are doing- historically- is incredible.
I hope you will update us if you find anything more about the provenance of the spoon. It is great to see that you're having sunny weather on your holiday.
This afternoon, less so, Andra: but it was still great. Mizzle is ok. And it's passed now to leave a rainbow over the Channel.
There are always results there, Debra: washed glass, old pots. Last year we found a Victorian marmalade jar. Lovely stuff, really.
Good on Phil. The most I've ever found digging on the beach is plastic spoons and pails.
😀 Maddie's on the case, Fiona!
I'm torn between nodding mournfully in agreement and spluttering uncontrollably at the muppet-style talking spoon enactment which is now playing in my unfortunate head, Lameadventures…an over active imagination is a curse.
I'd pay Broadway theater ticket price to see that Kate!
Dear Kate, I know about skylarks from reading Shelley's poem in high school. (Am I remembering correctly?) But I've never heard of mudlarks or sandlarks. Do you have time to explain why the word "lark" is used in these two terms? That interests me. I'm wondering if I'm a booklark. Peace.
'Lark' is an old word for playing. We'd have 'larks' if we were having fun, and there's an antiquated saying, probably from Enid Blyton or somewhere: "What larks!" Some etymologists have speculated whether 'mudlark' is a wry inversion of the word 'skylark' , or one who plays in the sky. But its a sketchy and tenuous connection.
I know! I know! It must be the original spoon the dish ran away with! Did you see any signs of felines or violins?
I seems like a delicate an interesting piece, indeed.
So interesting to be able to picture the area where you are – after all the intimate familiarity of a week's stay! We were in that whopping great hotel, though.
I did see a cat sneaking off, actually, Col, now you mention it….hmmmm….which hotel did you stay in – White Cliffs?
We English are a peculiar breed.
I've read of mudlarks before, very interesting. The spoon is fascinating, left behind by a very long-ago picnic party?
mysteries – I read every Sherlock Holmes story by age 14.
Now I know what a mudlark is!
😀 They are great character-fodder for 19th century-based novels, Pseu.
We did think that: only the plate is still intact in some places and not worn away. I suppose we'll never know!
So that's what a mudlark is!
The shape of your spoon is so fascinating. Makes me want to each through the screen to race its edges.


NetWeaver and Duet are hot, Basis and Portals are not. Subtle shifts like these may have a bigger impact on your professional marketability than you think. In this guest column, SearchSAP.com careers expert Jon Reed examines the relevance of SAP terms for your particular skillset.
In this two-part series, SearchSAP.com careers expert Jon Reed examines some popular and not so popular terms in the SAP world -- including NetWeaver, Duet and Enterprise SOA -- to help determine where SAP's technology is headed.
Since I began my career in SAP in 1995, I've had many a chuckle trying to keep track of SAP's constantly changing terminology. But SAP's buzzwords are very serious business, because when SAP stops using one phrase in favor of another, there is always a reason. And if you don't take the time to understand that reason, you can find yourself out of a job.
For example, for a time in the mid-1990s, ALE-EDI-IDoc was the hottest technical skill set going. When I noticed the slowdown in ALE jobs, I thought something was up. One ALE consultant I knew agreed with me. He started pursuing hot EAI technologies like WebMethods, which eventually led him into XML and then NetWeaver XI. By paying attention to what terminology SAP was emphasizing, he stayed marketable. Other ALE folks weren't so lucky.
There are numerous other examples, perhaps none more prominent than the so-called "New Dimensions" products that were once thought of as the future of SAP. When SAP stopped using the "New Dimensions" term, it was a high-level indication that the post-Y2K strategy of focusing on branding add-on components was not working. SAP has reclaimed its market position by refocusing on innovating, with the core ERP release first and foremost. Sure, SAP's terminology choices can be a little wacky sometimes -- "New Dimensions" always seemed like a better name for a religious cult than a product line -- but the usage is always intentional.
This year's Sapphire conference demonstrated which terms SAP is emphasizing and which it is downplaying. Some of the results may surprise you.
While this is fun and useful, there is speculation involved. We can't always be certain of SAP's exact motivation, but the frequency of usage is almost always a good indicator. Even a subtle shift, like the one from "Enterprise Portal" to "NetWeaver Portal," has a purpose. In this case, we can probably attribute the change to SAP's focus on the NetWeaver brand, but SAP's efforts to distance itself from the 4.7 "Enterprise Edition" of R/3 may also have something to do with it.
With that in mind, let's look at some buzzwords and rate them on a scale from "boiling hot" to "ice cold." One note about methodology: In addition to interviews with SAP product managers, I compiled all the press releases and did searches on certain phrases to determine their relative popularity. I also considered the underlying market conditions influencing these changes.
Take this press release analysis with a grain of salt, because SAP always tries to tone down the use of proprietary terms when they issue big press releases. But we can be safe in concluding that the buzzwords emphasized in these releases are the key terms SAP is branding at this time.
Why? Almost any terms linked to the "R/3 era" are being phased out. "Basis" is high on the list of terms that no SAP executive will use in public. The only problem is that many companies still need Basis specialists, and a similar term to describe NetWeaver skills has not yet taken hold. I'm not sure that there can be a "NetWeaver specialist" because NetWeaver encompasses so many tools and technologies, and includes development environments. The term "NetWeaver Administrator" might be the logical transition from "Basis Administrator," but we haven't seen it used much. Nevertheless, "Basis" is out, and all Basis folks are on notice that NetWeaver is the future.
Since you can brand only so many terms on a massive level, the heavy branding of "NetWeaver" means some other term has to take the back seat. That term is "mySAP."
Why? Rewind to the year 2000. ERP suites were being mocked as monolithic dinosaurs, unable to keep up with the speed of the Internet. ERP vendors were getting hammered for their awkward "user-unfriendly" interfaces. Best-of-breed darlings like Siebel, Ariba and Commerce One were the industry darlings. Even the term "SAP" suddenly had "legacy" connotations.
The solution? The "New Dimension" product line and slapping "mySAP" on virtually every SAP product name. At the time, the use of the prefix "my" implied an Internet-readiness, an ability to customize an application or Web site for the individual user.
Any consultant looking to stay on the cutting edge was trying to get some type of "mySAP" experience. Now, "mySAP" is on the way to semi-retired status. Yes, it is still prominently used as part of the name for SAP's main releases, "mySAP ERP" and "mySAP Business Suite," but now you'll often see these applications referred to simply as SAP ERP. And instead of mySAP CRM, it's now usually just SAP CRM.
Why? While NetWeaver Portals is still a big part of SAP's product line, the company is not emphasizing Portals in its literature as much as it once did. Meanwhile, the visibility of Duet, SAP's "user friendly" partnership with Microsoft, continues to increase, with a couple of high-profile Duet announcements. The numbers tell the story: Sapphire press releases used the term "Duet" 44 times. NetWeaver Portals was used four times.
When Portals was first released, SAP envisioned that corporate users would work primarily through their SAP Portal. Basically, SAP wanted to control the corporate user's desktop the way Microsoft controls the desktop of the individual consumer (you can never fault SAP for lack of ambition). The Duet emphasis is SAP's partial surrender to Microsoft on this matter. Yes, SAP is still pushing Portals as the interface of choice whenever possible, but if users prefer to work through Microsoft Office and access their SAP data through Office applications, SAP will make it happen.
The lesson is: Don't try to impose something on the market that it will not accept. Fight battles you can win. SAP has a chance to be the leading "Enterprise SOA" innovator. It has no chance to beat Microsoft Office on the user's desktop. The only real surprise is how cozy this partnership has become. Microsoft is not going after SAP's Fortune 100 ERP clients, but it's going to be a formidable SMB competitor.
How this will affect the Duet partnership remains to be seen. For now, though, the image of one set of hands shaking and another set in a thumb war is an odd but accurate way to describe this "partnership." It's hard to say how the Duet emphasis will affect SAP consulting opportunities. Portals consultants will still get a lot of work, and most SAP pros will want to have Portals in their toolkit. But it's good to understand that SAP users will access SAP data from a variety of applications and platforms -- it won't be "all or nothing" either way. Many users will rely on Portals and Duet working in concert.

The congregation of Second Presbyterian Church was formed in 1838. Its first building was located downtown at Fifth and Walnut on a parcel of land purchased from Pierre Chouteau. The second location of the congregation was in the then-fashionable Lucas Place neighborhood at Seventeenth Street, near the Campbell House Museum, where the congregation worshiped from 1870 until moving to its present location in 1896. The home of member Robert Campbell is the only surviving structure of that once fine neighborhood.
The site at Westminster Place and Taylor Avenue is the third location of Second Presbyterian Church. The building was designed by German-born American architect Theodore Link, who was also the architect of several other landmark structures, including the St Louis Union Station. The exterior of the building features architectural details typical of the Romanesque Revival style that was in vogue in the late 1800s, specifically:
The use of multiple arches
Large rough-cut stones
Decorative stone carving
Terra cotta roofing tile
The patterns in the border and capital carvings found on the arches are repeated in the interior of the church.
In 1896 the first building on Westminster – the chapel – was completed. Morning services were held there until late in 1900, when the sanctuary was completed (at a cost of $200,000) and dedicated.
By 1929 the Sunday School had outgrown its quarters in the chapel building and plans were made to erect an educational building to the west. A successful fund-raising campaign, which coincided with the stock market crash of that year, resulted in the third building on the site. The new facility was completed in 1930 and included new offices, a pastor's study, a gymnasium on the fourth floor and a new kitchen and dining room. An especially attractive feature is a wood-paneled room called the "Portrait Lounge," where oil paintings of former pastors hang.
The years following World War II brought a declining neighborhood and loss of membership as members moved to the suburbs. After two unsuccessful attempts to find another location, the congregation voted in 1961 to stay on its corner and be a city church.
With the historic preservation movement of the 1970s came a realization of the architectural and artistic significance of the buildings. Plans for renovation were made, but could not be carried out until 1985-87. The renovation efforts of focused on creating large spaces for creative, corporate usage. The chancel area of the sanctuary was extended and thrust forward; pew seating was reconfigured; acoustical tile was removed from the ceiling; new lighting was installed; and walls were colored to enhance the colors of the collection of Tiffany windows. Pews and cork flooring were removed from the chapel to create a flexible space for church and community functions.
In 1995, the chapel was renamed Niccolls Hall to commemorate the 50 years of service of Pastor Samuel Niccolls (1865-1915).
In 2004 much needed repairs were been made to the facility's cooling plant.
In 2010, the Session decided on a much needed renovation of the sanctuary, including the Schantz organ. Esley Hamilton, a St. Louis County architectural historian, provided the renovation committee with the following information:
"I am old enough to have lived through at least two generations of designers who have seen historic buildings as canvases for their own "current" ideas, and in case after case I have seen those ideas grow stale with age. Second Presbyterian is a perfect example of those cycles. Taste is cyclical, and the more fashionable a given taste is, the faster it will go out of style. That is why it is almost always best to stick with the original designer's intention, especially when the designer was somebody whose reputation has stood the test of time, as Theodore Link's has. If you opt for yet another contemporary intervention this time, your congregation will find itself going through this again in another twenty years. If you return to Link's original designs now (assuming that documentation makes that possible), you will not have to change again, and you will find that appreciation for the building will grow over time."
The renovation consisted of painting, new lighting, a completely new sound system, and organ renewal. The architectural firm of Powers-Bowersox Associates, Inc. was chosen to oversee this project. Peter Wollenberg, a St. Louis building conservationist, helped with the research and color selection for the walls and trim. Koch Brothers Decorating, Inc., was hired to oversee both the project's construction management and the painting of the sanctuary. Skilled artisans completed the painting.
Randy Burkett Lighting Design, Inc. was responsible for improving the lighting throughout the sanctuary. Ace Electrical Solutions and Tech Electronics were employed to oversee the installation of lighting. Designed Acoustic, Inc. recommended the new sound system and ultimately worked with Tech to complete the task. Howard Johnson, a local upholsterer, was employed to recover the pew and chair cushions.
The renovation began in May of 2012, and the congregation was back in the sanctuary by September of 2012. The organ returned a few months later.

It's crazy to think about how many people are online right now. Millions and millions of people are surfing the web. There was a time that you had a business and when it was open people could contact you and when it was closed they couldn't. For better or worse, those days are over. Business is now 24/7/365 if you are doing business online.
The technology hasn't caught up with business owners as you still need to sleep. However, while you are sleeping you could be missing out on possible leads. What are you to do?
While the technology for stopping the need for sleep hasn't been created yet, I did create something so that you don't have to miss leads. We have created a social networks robot to search social media sites for posts by people looking for recommendations.
-find posts inside groups you belong to.
-search by one or multiple keywords.
Amazing right? And that's just the start. We are looking to improve it with the ability to reply to topic starters using messenger and follow up on leads to find out if the person whom we recommended was successful!
Sound like something that would be a game changer for you? Contact Alex from I Need Website, to get your own social media spider/robot for your business.

Yes, there's a new Lego Set in town! The Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle is a limited edition set and it is super cool! This set comes with a whole bunch of different characters, along with a helicopter and a neat looking dragon model.
Bottom Line: Is The Lego Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle Set Worth Buying?
If your child likes Lego sets, this is a great choice. If they like the Ninjago collection of Legos, then you definitely don't want to miss out on this one.
Now it's all up to the Lightning Dragon and Jay to figure out a way to save Sensei Wu and get the weapons back before the bad guys can escape to the underworld. This will be tough, because the helicopter is equipped with a number of different weapons.
What kid (and a whole lot of grown-ups) doesn't like Ninjas? They're way cool martial arts fighters who are top notch in combat. And they are great at the stealth mode, so their enemies don't even know they are there until it's too late!
The story is a classic good vs. evil, with the good ninja Sensei Wu working to protect the town against his evil brother. This latest set is a new chapter in the story.
The Ninjago minifigures have excellent detail. From Sensei Wu's wise-looking beard to Kruncha's scary face and skeleton body – these are like no other Lego minifigures before them. Some characters are featured in other sets on the Ninjago range, but they often include subtle differences (such as different weapons or coloring).
Then there is the models themselves – both the skeleton helicopter and the Lightning Dragon look fabulous once you've put them together.
Building the models is a challenge, but not too difficult for kids between the ages of 8 and 14. Once building is complete, there are spaces for the minifigures to fit inside the helicopter or on top of the Lightning Dragon as kids recreate the famous battle.
Of course, the most notable downside about this set is the price. It doesn't come cheap. However, it's a matter of "you get what you pay for." When you take into consideration just how much you get from this set – 645 pieces total, to make a helicopter and a dragon – the cost isn't too bad at all. And the set is certainly unique!
In short, if you have a child who is already into the Ninjago Lego range, then there's no doubt this will be a welcome addition to their collection. If not, it's still a very high quality limited addition toy that any Lego fan will be happy to play with. The only thing you need to watch out for is whether it stays in stock over the holiday period. If your child would like the Lego Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle Set, better grab it early!

I don't have a KU pack but thought an E&E might be nice with some weight savings over the standard E&E. Just wondering how you guys like yours? Any complaints or things I should consider? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I dont use a KU pack either but do have a KU E&E that I use in a couple different configurations with other packs.
+1. I have both and rarely use the KU. I bought it to D&L to the back of my KU3700 and decided I really didn't care for that arrangement. I believe KU Long Pockets would work better on the back of a KU pack.

In Ngram, the term "millennials" begins to explode in the late '90s—just before "Generation X" collapses. We passed the baton to the next sucker. My prediction? Hold fast, millennials. This current wave of punditry will peak and then start declining six years from now. In 2020, about half of you will have turned 30. You'll no longer be young—and therefore no longer scary—and today's rhetoric about your entitlement and narcissism will evaporate. You'll be in charge.

Beaver Falls' Cook stirs the pot
By Bill AllmannTimes Sports Correspondent
BEAVER FALLS � It would be understandable if Drew Cook had some kind of a complex.
For years, the Beaver Falls High School junior was Devin Cook�s little brother. Devin, a Big 33 football star last year, has moved on to the University of Pittsburgh, but Drew is still not out of someone�s shadow.
Now, he�s the other guard on the Beaver Falls basketball team � the guy that plays alongside 6-foot-8 Sheldon Jeter, one of the top guards in the state.
But opponents know who Cook is, and Quaker Valley got a refresher course Friday night. Cook scored 17 points and played a solid game in a 64-49 defeat of Quaker Valley.
Jeter added 18 points and 12 rebounds and Royce Watson pitched in with 13 points and eight rebounds as the three three-year starters again led the way.
�The chemistry we have means a lot,� said Cook. �It goes a long way toward winning games and we�ve come a long way in the three years we started together.�
Beaver Falls (12-1, 6-0) remained undefeated in Section 6-AA. Quaker Valley (12-2, 4-2) has lost only to Beaver Falls.
The Tigers� success is in large part to Jeter, but teammates like Watson and Cook don�t play small roles.
�Sheldon is a terrific player and gets the media attention but we play well together as a team,� Cook said. �I know I have been living behind Devin and now Sheldon but that�s OK. I figure with all the coaches looking at Sheldon, maybe they�ll notice me, too.�
That strategy has been successful in the past. Maybe the best example came a few decades ago. Norm Nixon is one of the top players in the history of Duquesne, leading the Dukes to the NCAA Tournament in 1977 before a 12-year career in the NBA. But Nixon only ended up at Duquesne because the Dukes were after his Macon (Ga.) high school teammate Jesse Hubbard. The Dukes noticed Nixon while watching the tapes of Hubbard and offered both scholarships.
�Yeah, I know about Norm Nixon,� Cook said with a smile.


It was 11:04 today, tired with my long 3 days of programming to retrieve solutions for my corporate friend over his websites protection, I was just about to sleep when I received a Whatsapp forward message .
Really it would sound odd me writing about some personal message here, basically such messages are ignored by me.
But I really found it interesting where people claimed that Whatsapp hoax to be genuine.
It really was so idiotic of someone to create such message and was so foolish about people who forwarded it.
May it be a long family group or our friends.
we have flooded our Phones with 1000.......n numbers of hoax messages, and many a times we are fooled too.
Now something for the sharers who always forget to read the terms and conditions whenever they recieve an update of any software and thats same for whatsapp.
Today I'll be informing you about one single fact. The fact that every screen of whatsapp shouts regularly to its users very loud and clear.
Now I dont find any need to explain what end-to-end protection is exactly about.
but if your really want to you can really read my old post on whatsapps end -to-end protection.


On Wednesday, January 13, 2010, the Los Angeles Times published a page-one profile of two of Langer's servers who also work part-time at Canter's Delicatessen entitled "Double-dipping waiters sandwiched between two delis" by Robert Faturechi.
Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant enjoys an excellent relationship with The Los Angeles Times, having been profiled and chronicled in innumerable accounts over our nearly 63-year history.
While we were generally pleased with the presentation of our hard-working, valued servers, the article described our location as being "surrounded by drug dealers and vendors selling fake IDs," which not only misrepresents the MacArthur Park neighborhood but denigrates our many neighbors who work to bring a new vibrance to the area.
Worst of all were unfortunate misquotations of Norm Langer which suggest he harbors negative thoughts about Canter's Delicatessen and the Canter family.
Everyone at Langer's has nothing but respect for Canter's – along with all the Jewish delicatessens here in the Southland. As David Sax noted in his recent book "Save the Deli," Los Angeles is unique for our cohesive family of delis, which he calls the best in the world. Our collective reputation is high because of the great efforts made by every Los Angeles delicatessen to serve the best food, with the best service possible, for every single customer. And in our book, Canter's is a leading and unique member of the Los Angeles Jewish deli family, period.
Everyone at Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant, from the owners to the managers and the employees, works hard to build and maintain the respect of our customers and the community. We are saddened that such a misquotation would be published and disparage our positive relationship with Canter's Delicatessen and the Canter family.

Государственное ппс расследований (, ДБР) — центральный правоохранительный орган Украины, начавший свою деятельность 27 ноября 2018 года. ГБР является юридическим лицом публичного права, осуществляет свои полномочия непосредственно и через территориальные управления. Представительства ГБР расположены в Киеве, Львове, Хмельницком, Николаеве, Мелитополе, Полтаве и Краматорске. С 2020 года в состав ГБР включены Институт подготовки кадров и Научно-исследовательский институт судебных экспертиз.

Цели и задачи ведомства заключаются в расследовании уголовных дел, в которых фигурируют правоохранители, судьи и высшие чиновники (от министров до начальников государственных управлений). Со временем ппс окончательно возьмёт на себя функцию досудебного (предварительного) следствия у прокуратуры. Последняя занимается следствием начиная с 1996 года на временной основе — в соответствии с п. 9 Переходных положений Конституции Украины.

Уголовным процессуальным кодексом Украины было предусмотрено создание органа в срок до 20 ноября 2017 года. Закон Украины о Государственном ппс расследований принят 12 ноября 2015, подписан Президентом 14 января 2016, вступил в силу 1 марта 2016 года.

История
13 апреля 2012 года был принят новый Уголовный процессуальный кодекс Украины, согласно которому Государственное бюро расследований должно было стать органом досудебного расследования (наряду с органами внутренних дел, СБУ и налоговой службой Украины).

Часть своего послания Верховной Раде Украины в 2013 году президент Виктор Янукович посвятил теме создания ГБР:

14 октября 2014 года был принят закон Украины «О прокуратуре», в котором было заложено создание Государственного бюро расследований (пп. 4, 5, 11 в главе XIII «Переходные положения»).

Should we move inside to A/C? drier....never water?
Second plant to be dying........first was in ground under trees and maybe clay/wet feet....less than foot tall after three months!!!! Not "fast growing"!!!
Answer #1 · Gardenality.com's Answer · Hi David - I'm in zone 8a of Georgia and have the Tuscan Blue growing in my herb garden. It's performed very well over the past 5 years or so. It's in a raised bed and the clay soil was amended heavily with bag-type sandy top soil. Because Tuscan Blue is hardy to zone 10, I wouldn't think the heat or humidity would be the problem with your rosemary. We have the same heat and humidity here as in GA as in SC and I've had no problems.
This leads me to think that your potted rosemary might be suffering from a soil moisture problem...either too much or too little water? Even though rosemary likes well-drained soils and is considered to be a very drought tolerant plant, when growing in containers the soil moisture has to be checked more frequently, especially during summer. The soil should be kept lightly damp.
Tuscan Blue is for sure hardy in zones 8-10 and I've heard up to 7a. That being said, when growing in a pot in these zones the roots are exposed to air temperature. Not sure how long you've had the rosemary growing in the container, but it's possible the plant is suffering due to stress from being exposed to the colder air temps? You might consider bringing it indoors during the colder days of winter.
Regarding water. When planted in the ground, rosemary are exceptionally drought tolerant when established. In pots, the soil moisture will need to be checked more frequently and water provided when necessary. If the first rosemary you planted in the ground was in a site that had clay soil that retained too much moisture (especially during winter), this would definitely cause problems with the roots. I'd suggest planting rosemary in well drained raised beds or mounds in which the clay-base soil has been conditioned with bagged topsoil to improve drainage.
In any event, I'd suggest cutting the plant back or at least removing all the dead parts. I'd suggest this with any plant. If your Tuscan Blue doesn't make it, maybe try a different variety such as Salem, Athens Blue Spires, or Arp. I've had success in the past with all these.
Hope this info is helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Your welcome. Commercial potting "soils" tend to be too heavy for some plants. On the other hand, professional or premium potting "mixes" are available that are much lighter weight and hold water much more evenly. A cactus mix should work fine. The brand of potting mix I often use is Jolly Gardener. It comes in a larger bag and is less expensive than cactus mixes. Metro Mix potting soils are another good brand used by many commercial growers who grow herbs and other herbaceous plants in containers. A layer of gravel can also be placed in the bottom of containers to improve drainage.


Survivors of domestic violence have welcomed the government's plan to fit high risk offenders with GPS tracking bracelets as reported by Channel 7 News.
The Australian first trial will allow police to watch their every move and bring peace of mind to victims who are living in fear.
For years Tina Kontozis feared for her life and in April it was brutally taken.
The Bundeena mother was beaten to death with a cricket bat allegedly by her estranged partner Stephen Boyd.
Jen Armstrong is a survivor of domestic violence and now counts herself as one of the lucky ones.
It's women like Tina and Jen the State Government is finally making changes to protect.
Today they announced a $300 million package including a trial to track high risk offenders with GPS bracelets.
Mick Fuller said: "The tracking system in this case is an Australian first but certainly has been used in other countries around the world with success".
Magistrates will have the power to fit repeat offenders with trackers to make sure they stay away from victims.
"It really will change the lives of the women and the children who are involved in this," Ms Armstrong added.To read more click here.

Get cheaper movie ticket prices in one of SoCal's bargain theaters!
Are you looking for a fun family outing without spending a fortune? Heading to one of Southern California's discount movie theaters is a good way to take the entire family to a movie for bargain prices! Prices have raised at some of the theaters on this list in the past few years. Others have gone mainstream & raised prices. But there are still some good bargains out there when you'd like to take in a movie on-the-cheap.
The bargain movie theaters on this page feature discount ticket prices between $1.50 (now rare) and $8, with the average price being around $3-6 per ticket. In addition to these already-low prices, some of these theaters offer further discounts for matinee showtimes or for kids & senior's movie tickets.
How can these theaters charge so little? Because they show movies that aren't "new releases." The films in these theaters have already made the rounds of "first run" theaters...the megaplexes with the stadium seating and love-seat chairs. Once the crowds coming to see these films dwindles, then the movies head over to the bargain theaters...where new people are interested in seeing them, but only "if the price is right."
Bargain theaters are almost always older theaters...cinemas built before stadium seating became popular. (However, there are a FEW theaters on this list that are relatively new and have stadium seats.) This doesn't mean that cheaper theaters are necessarily old and decrepit. Stadium seating swept in like a tidal wave in the late '90's, leaving a number of nearly-new theaters outdated long before their time. And theaters built in the '80's or before? They're absolutely ancient history, even though the buildings themselves may be in good condition. If you don't like the bargain theater closest to your area, simply try a different one; you're sure to find one "nice enough" to meet your needs.
Families, in particular, benefit from using discount theaters. With the average movie ticket price in Southern California hovering around $12, a family of four simply can't enjoy an evening at the movies for under $50 (and after buying popcorn, it's more.) That's a huge chunk of change...which the family could have used to buy several DVD's (or a new video game) which would have kept them entertained for a number of evenings. The presence of bargain theaters makes going out together lots easier on the wallet. The same family of four will often spend less than $15-$20 (after popcorn) when taking advantage of the cheaper ticket prices found at the list of discount theaters on this page. Going out together becomes fun again!
Apple Valley AMC Classic 14: You can see newly-released films for about half the average price of Southern California movie tickets (even cheaper for matinees)...and the discount is every day of the week. Prices higher for 3D. The address is 22311 Bear Valley Rd, Apple Valley, CA 92308. You may check the AMC Apple Valley website for show times, and you may also purchase tickets from the Apple Valley page of Fandango.

However, there are "$5 Tuesday" specials that you might want to try out. Here's a link to view the AMC Bakersfield 6 Theater showtimes online. And, just in case you've never been to this theater before, here's a Google map to the Bakersfield AMC 6 cinema.

Chula Vista: UltraStar Chula Vista Cinemas is closed and the AMC Chula Vista 10 has opened at the Chula Vista Center. Movies are now full-price at this location, but you can still get a bargain here on Tuesdays. Members of the AMC Stubs program can take part in "$5 Ticket Tuesdays" and enjoy the latest released films. This theater is located at the Chula Vista Center; the address is 555 Broadway, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Here's a link to the AMC Chula Vista movie showtimes online.

A number of discount cinemas in Southern California have closed as the cost of running theaters has risen in recent years. But "regular" full-priced cinemas have increased the number of locations that offer "value days."
What is a "value day?" The theater has to pay employees every day of the week...but some days have very few movie-goers. So, the price of current movies is lowered to draw more traffic, making it a terrific day of the week for bargain-hunters! Often that day is Tuesday. Sunday is another popular day.
Here is a list of some current value days in Southern California that's current as of 2018. Prices may change at any time.
AMC Theaters: "$5 Ticket Tuesdays" is a discount offered at most locations to AMC Stubs members.


In China devote a lot of time educating their tourists | All about CHINA.
Chinese tourists everywhere probably would have waited, because so many of them and they have a lot of money on their entertainment, but there is one thing that deterred travel agencies from working more closely with clients from China.
Chinese tourists do not know how to behave, they are on the streets doing that in a normal civilised society is not accepted. How to solve the problem, the national tourism Agency decided to introduce rules of conduct as at home in museums and on excursions, and somewhere abroad. If you behave badly while traveling in Europe, then you can make a special blacklist and you will never go on a trip to Russia or America.
The list is not enough individuals, there first was Crowned, he climbed the monument to the red army and took pictures. It happened in Shaanxi province in the town of Shengli road Shan, now on tour it will not let 10 years. And the monument to the soldiers of the red Army was removed from the national tourist rating for this office. The tourists were doing what I wanted and there was not any oversight over their behavior.
Probably to Shanley Shan no one would have noticed if he hadn`t published his photo in the social network. After people saw this photo, If Married received a lot of flattering reviews about their behavior.
Year by year, money in China is added, they are added and the population that, in General, good for the development of tourism in the country and abroad. There is even a figure of spending of Chinese tourists abroad, it is a little outdated, but even in 2013, spending is astronomical - $129 billion, Nor any other country in the world takes out so much money abroad as tourist fees. If you take 2014, compared to 2013, tourists went abroad for 109 million more, which ensures that spending abroad rose by a couple of billion dollars. Domestic tourism in China is developing very rapidly, the infrastructure is improving year by 10%, fees in this segment of the economy from year to year are growing and already account for nearly $ 4 billion.
The Chinese love to travel to Europe and the United States, at least go to Russia and in the Crimea and great city view. In China, a lot of network resources which you can find a price and a ticket to anywhere in the world.
In some countries, where a lot of tourists from China, even the police are sent from China to keep order. This is done probably because the tourists from China are not very afraid that they will leave the country where they misbehave, and if they leave, then there is a guarantee that it will be possible to gain a foothold in longer, which in General is not so bad compared to living conditions in China. American TV shows can not watch. The tweeter is blocked, go in the street systems in General and totalitarianism in the West is not in fashion! The West is more of an armed democracy which is still what you have a brain, most importantly, live in a certain way created the rules.
So, now on tourists behaving badly in any country of the World can complain and if it is confirmed that you are right, then this tourist will be blacklisted and will no longer to offend anyone and never will in any country in the world to misbehave.

Security guard's dancing skills at hockey match go viral - video
By Olga Gertcyk
Aleksandr Churilov got cold at the game between Amur (Khabarovsk) and Sibir (Novosibirsk) and joined with cheerleaders to keep warm.
'I was simply freezing and tired of just standing and decided to warm up a bit.' Picture here and below: Kontinental Hockey League
The security guard was shivering as he monitored the crowd at the match, and gave his spectacular routine when the cheerleaders started dancing to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean during an interval.
'I was simply freezing and tired of just standing and decided to warm up a bit,' he said. 'I believe it's a decent job to guard people and entertain them at the same time.
'I didn't actually expect to get all that cheering.'
'I did not train to dance it, it was a complete improvisation. At first I didn't really see how people reacted to my dance, but then I heard them.
'And after that I saw it. I didn't actually expect to get all that cheering.'
His improvisation didn't help his home team in Khabarovsk which lost the game.

Sae 1070-1090 high carbon blue tempered and polished spring steel is a standard material for conventional springs. It is the lowest cost material and best suited for applications that have a protected environment, as carbon steel corrodes if not lubricated or atmospherically sealed. Additional corrosion protection can be added with a special finish. Products are supplied with an oil dip finish providing adequate protection for shipment and shelf storage. Carbon steel is highly magnetic and is typically blue in color.
Stainless Steel 301 is capable of attaining high tensile strength and ductility by cold working. It is not hardenable by heat treatment. Type 301 is essentially nonmagnetic in the annealed condition and becomes magnetic with cold deformation.
This- nickel-chromium alloy is used most commonly in high temperature and corrosive environments. Two tempers exist, the most common Inconel X-750 is precipitation heat treated to a spring temper condition. In this state, it has temperature resistance to 700o F. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) approves this hard temper to Specification MR-01-75 (RC 50 Maximum) for spiral retaining rings and wave/ compression springs. #1 temper has a lower tensile strength but provides temperature protection to 1000o F. Both spring temper and #1 temper may be heat treated in either an open air or atmosphere controlled furnace. Open air heat treatment may produce oxidation which often results in a black ash residue. An atmosphere controlled environment eliminates oxidation and produces a component with no residue. Rings and springs manufactured from Inconel have a blue/silver-gray color and exhibit no magnetism.
Elgiloy is known for its excellent resistance to corrosive environments, elevated temperature resistance and high strength. Elgiloy exhibits no-magnetism and is blue/brown in color as a result of heat treatment. Elgiloy offers a good solution accompanied by mechanical properties similar to high carbon spring steel (music wire). The mechanical properties are often superior to stainless steel and other nickel alloys. The supplier has also made arguments that in some (medical) applications, Elgiloy can be used in lieu of titanum and offers several advantages versus titanuim.

Line of Duty: Locations used for filming listed in map created by Belfast fan
A handy guide to see where filming takes place throughout Belfast
Peter McGoran
A classic Line of Duty 'underpass' scene, filmed in Belfast
A Line of Duty fan has created an accessible map so that fans can see where some of the show's major scenes are filmed.
It comes as Line of Duty fans continue to follow AC-12's latest investigations, with Hastings and co on the hunt to find whether or not 'bent coppers' disrupted the inquiry into the murder of a high-profile journalist.
Line of Duty has been filming in Belfast since 2014.
During that time, dozens of locations have been used for both interior and exterior scenes, showcasing the versatility of the city's landscape.
To help fans see which locations have been used, local Belfast man James Currie put together a database on Google Maps.
James said that the project came about because of his love for the show:
He said: "Originally, I didn't start watching Line of Duty until series 3 came out, but I got hooked on it very quickly and I've watched the first 5 seasons multiple times since.
Line of Duty: 8 questions viewers have ahead of next episode
Line of Duty's Ted Hastings unveils new catchphrase in latest episode
"With all of the talk around Series 6, I started seeing a few posts online asking where things were filmed, so I thought I would put a map together, especially for those who aren't from here.
"With the help of some friends, I've managed to cover most of the big locations used by the crew so far."
The map contains locations used for filming the show
The map contains well-known locations on the show, including AC-12's headquarters, the underpass used by AC-12 officers when talking off the record, and the bookmaker's shop which was robbed at the start of season 6.
"Being from Belfast, it's great to have seen several big productions being filmed here over recent years. There are so many talented crew members based here, and with the variety of locations available within a short travel time, it's easy to see why the Greater Belfast area is so popular as a filming location."
You can view James' map here.
James has stressed that the map isn't fully complete, and that he's asking other fans to help him fill in the gaps with other locations.
