The intercept took place approximately 80 nautical miles east of the Chinese mainland in international airspace
Sunday's incident follows a series of Chinese intercepts of US aircraft over the last few months
A Chinese fighter jet performed an “unsafe” intercept of a US plane Sunday while it was flying in international airspace over the East China Sea, according to a Pentagon spokesman, the latest in a series of similar encounters in the region.
The Chinese J-10 fighter jet was armed and came as close as 300 feet in front of the US EP-3 reconnaissance plane, causing the Navy aircraft to take “evasive action,” a US defense official told CNN. The official added that a second armed J-10 Chinese fighter jet was involved in the intercept but only one of the aircraft acted in a “unsafe” way.
The “EP-3, flying in international airspace in the East China Sea, was intercepted by two Chinese J-10s,” US Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters Monday at the Pentagon.
Davis said the “unsafe” behavior involved one of the Chinese fighters flying underneath the US aircraft “at a high rate of speed,” and then slowing and pulling up in front of the US plane, prompting the EP-3’s traffic collision avoidance system to go-off and forcing the American pilot to “to take evasive action to prevent the possibility of collision.”
The intercept took place approximately 80 nautical miles east of the Chinese mainland in international airspace, according to the US official.
China maintains an “Air Defense Identification Zone” over much of the East China Sea, something the US does not recognize.
Another US official confirmed to CNN that the “unsafe” intercept occurred and said “encounters like this, ones that show a lack of control by the Chinese pilot, do nothing but increase the risk of miscalculation.”
Sunday’s incident follows a series of Chinese intercepts of US aircraft over the last few months.
In May, two Chinese J-10s similarly intercepted a US surveillance aircraft over the South China Sea in what the US Navy described as an “unsafe” maneuver. Earlier that month, a US official told CNN that a Chinese Su-30 jet flew “inverted” over a US Air Force WC-135.
“This is uncharacteristic of the normal safe behavior we see from the Chinese military,” Davis said.
The incident comes just days after the Navy’s top officer, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, held a video teleconference with his Chinese counterpart, Vice Adm. Shen Jinlong. The two naval chiefs discussed “naval engagements” as well as North Korea, according to the US Navy readout.
Perhaps the most famous encounter between a US EP-3 and a Chinese aircraft occurred in 2001 when a Chinese J-8 fighter collided with the US plane, forcing the EP-3 to conduct an emergency and prompting an international dispute between Washington and Beijing.
China’s military has taken a more active role in recent months. Beijing and Delhi are in the midst of an ongoing territorial dispute in the Himalayas, with a People’s Liberation Army spokesman warning Monday it was “easier to move a mountain than the PLA.”
Meanwhile, one of China’s most-advanced warships is currently leading a flotilla to the Baltic Sea, where it will engage in exercises with the Russia Navy, the first ever joint operation by the two militaries in European waters.
The Liaoning, China’s only active aircraft carrier, has also been dispatched to the open Pacific. Chinese state media said this was a sign the Liaoning’s combat capability has been enhanced and its areas of operation expanded, and could soon include the Eastern Pacific, including off the US West Coast.
CNN’s James Griffiths contributed reporting.

I made myself a Cassie t-shirt. ^__^
My printer ran out of ink halfway through printing so it turned out looking really glitchy and cool, almost on purpose.
I cut the neckline and changed the shape of the sleeves so it would look more fitted.
Hopefully it’ll be long enough to wear with leggings.
It’s a men’s medium (Fruit of the Loom) and I used just basic t-shirt transfer paper.

FREEDOM IN WRITINGJanuary 8, 2017
BEAUTY, FREEDOM, AND ACCEPTANCE.March 1, 2017
I once wrote that happiness is a choice. Part of me still feels that way, but an older, more aware Giselle now understands that happiness, while still a choice, is one road that many are not able to travel. One of the greatest lessons that my Mother shared with me, was to be happy for others. This small act costs me nothing. In fact, I am not taking on their situation. I am an observer, passing by, and in that moment I smile, and feel good for them, and do so with an open heart.
Being happy for someone else is no way negates who you are or the situation that engulfs you. I once read an article which went into detail, that people should avoid posting pictures or stories about joyful moments in their lives because it may make others feel bad. What! Really?
I remember becoming angry while reading this piece because I found it coated with resentment. Granted it has been years since I last read it, so I will share the gist. Basically, stop posting information about the awesome things going on in your life because, it upsets those who are not happy. That’s not how I roll. But, I do know people who follow this doctrine religiously. This article was geared to Facebook postings. The author cautioned the reader of what to post on their personal timelines. Tone down on the pictures of you and your boyfriend, or of you and your wife on your luxury vacation, or announcing the new job that you are starting. Just stop posting anything that makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Keep in mind that the author was focusing on what you displayed on your timeline, not your friends, or your neighbours, or a community group. Now, I could go into detail on how I found all of this absurd, but I will let it go, for now.
If someone chooses not to like something that I post, I understand that. It is their perogative. They have the choice to hide my post, delete the information or unfriend me. My choice is to share what delights me. I will not assume to understand what goes through people’s minds or what they are going through. Those closest to me know me well enough that I will support a person in any way that I can. I will not abate their circumstance. I will empathize. I will listen. I will learn. I will love. I will stand back to allow you to work through your situation the best way you know how. I can do all of this without becoming the situation.
I will continue to follow my Mother’s path. I will be happy for others because that is how I roll.

You read it here at HollywoodLife.com first, Upper East Siders. There’s a new power pal couple taking over Hollywood: Emmett Cullen is besties with Blair Waldorf!
“Kellan was completely supportive of Leighton,” an eyewitness tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “He was standing right by the stage, dancing and cheering her on during her performance. She returned the favor by singing directly to him [as well as fellow friends] Christian Siriano, 24, and Colin Egglesfield, 36.”
Adds the insider, “After she was done singing, he jumped over the DJ booth to congratulate her and they embraced. They danced a little and hung out with her band before he left her to relax. »
Have you ever double or triple-dated with Your co-workers? The Gossip Girl kids do!
Sometimes after a hard day’s work you need to chill out by yourself, or with a different set of people. Not so for the Gossip Girl cast – who enjoy one another’s company so much that, not only do they hang out on their days off, they even double date.
“Sometimes [boyfriend Ed Westwick and I] double-date with Penn [Badgley], 23, and Blake [Lively], 22, or Leighton [Meester], 23, and Sebastian [Stan] 26,” confides Jessica Szohr, 24, in the January issue of Teen Vogue. “We all hang out.” In fact, Jessica takes hanging out to a whole ‘nother level with her co-workers: she and Ed even spent Valentine’s Day with Leighton and Stan in Jamaica this year!

Chicago – Sometimes fans have the choice between holding on to the standard DVD version of their favorite films or upgrading to the latest format, anniversary, or ultimate collector’s unrated fantastic edition. With many Blu-Ray releases merely improving the technical specs but often leaving the special features alone, it can be a tough call. Such is not the case with the 20th anniversary edition of the great “Say Anything…,” a release packed with excellent bonus material that make it a must-own for fans of Cameron Crowe’s directorial debut.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
After breaking through with his script for “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” Cameron Crowe fell into the worst project of his career, a lackluster ’80s teen movie called “The Wild Life”.

So New Moon made over $140 million this past weekend. I wish I can say that I'm surprised, but really, who would be? It's Twilight. Everybody should've expected it to do gangbusters.
You might have noticed that we don't have a review for it... yet. There's a reason for that. I went to a screening of it last Wednesday, but never made it into the theater, after my stubborn self encountered a problem passing the security check. Nothing too scandalous, I didn't bite anybody—that night, anyway—but I scuttled on home skipping out on my date with the hot new reel on the block. So what did I do instead?
I could have seen the movie during the weekend, of course. But hey, it was busy breaking three different box office records: opening day (beating The Dark Knight), midnight showing (beating Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and November opening »

Seven months ago, the movie formerly known as The Boat That Rocked had its UK theatrical release, followed up two months later with the DVD. Reviews at the time were so-so. Now the pic gets shipped state-side, renamed Pirate Radio and apparently with all the good parts taken out.
That said, the soundtrack contains 32 '60s classics from The Kinks to The Who to David Bowie — sending it straight to the "Listen, Don't Watch" category, and leaving us wondering if it belongs on our list of 10 Soundtracks Better Than Their Movies.

Note: This review does contain minor Spoilers
Starting immediately after the events of the first film, Paul (top-billed Rider Strong in a two-minute cameo) climbs out of the creek with the virus eating away at him, and he's promptly mowed down by a schoolbus (hardly a 'spoiler', having been revealed in the film's marketing materials).
The bottled water company from the first film delivers drinks contaminated with the flesh-eating virus to a local high school, where likable John (Noah Segan) and his nerdy friend Alex (Rusty Kelley) attend class. John has an unrequited crush on Cassie (Alexi Wasser), but is afraid of her angry kickboxer boyfriend.

I’m no music expert what with their fancy degrees and ability to appreciate music beyond “This sounds good.” But I do know lists and lists generate controversy and controversy equals traffic! And with their patented “slideshow” format which creates more hits based on an itemized story, EW.com has a real racket going!
Well, we just listed it like normal people after the jump. Take a look, see if you agree, and scream your disbelief at how a certain album you love wasn’t included. Also, remember that this is a list of soundtracks which are usually a collection of songs used in a movie as opposed to a score which is usually the instrumental accompaniment to the film created by a single composer (although there are obviously scores created by more than one composer).

On the night of the big high school prom, the dead rise to eat the living, and the only people who can stop them are the losers who couldn’t get dates to the dance. Filled with a plethora of high school stereotypes, the group takes on a town for of brain hungry zombies and vow to save what’s left of the town from the adjacent power plant that seems to be the cause of the recent resurrections.
Those in the mood for a great zombie flick should pick this one up. Other critics have been quoted saying this film “makes Carrie look like Pretty in Pink,” though if you were to truly classify it, it’s much more like Shaun of the Dead meets Breakfast Club. Any fan of film who has seen dozens upon dozens of zombie movies knows the feeling of “how much ass they would kick if zombies were real. »

The New Moon soundtrack officially hit shelves a week ago and since then weve seen a great review from Entertainment Weekly mixed reviews from fans and today we get a very positive review from the people over at Rolling Stone. In their review they compare New Moon to John Hughes Pretty in Pink and even go so far as to say that Bram Stoker would be proud. Read their review below in which they gave the New Moon original soundtrack 4.5 starsThe genius of the Twilight saga is the way it celebrates the passion of the allAmerican fang hag with Robert Pattinson as the perfect plasmaslurping pinup boy Hes hot hes sexy and hes undead.

"We felt like we made it," said Ok Go about being asked to be a contributor to the official movie soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In an unusual turn of conversation, the two compared the album to Pretty In Pink's soundtrack. No, not because of the content of the New Moon Ost but instead because of its cultural positioning in present pop culture (presumably) as well as the line up of artists to be included (particularly their stature as some of this generation of music's "greats"). Ok Go then went on to talk about how they became a part of the New Moon soundtrack in another video, saying that Stephenie Meyer had asked them to play at a book signing event (which they were unable to attend), that they noticed her inclusion of their band in her acknowledgements page, and t »
'It's a huge deal,' frontman Damian Kulash says of the inclusion of new song 'Shooting the Moon.'

For most of the early part of their career, Ok Go have been known as "the treadmill band" after scoring a massive viral hit with their video for "Here It Goes Again," a lo-fi affair that featured the band performing a tightly choreographed, all-in-one-take dance on a series of treadmills. Now they hope to graduate to a level that Paramore and Muse both know well: the "Twilight" band.
The group contributed a brand-new song called "Shooting the Moon" to the soundtrack for the upcoming film "New Moon."

If you’re not a fan then you probably haven’t understood one thing I’ve said so far, but if you’re still reading this you might as well tune it, you’ll have fun. I promise. (I can’t guarantee that last statement. I can’t be held responsible If you’re a Negative Nancy.)

What would the Pretty in Pink love triangle between Andie, Duckie, and Blane look like if it was jettisoned forward in time a good 20+ years?

The Loved Ones Directed by Sean Byrne Sean Byrne's debut feature, The Loved Ones, crosses various horror touchstones, touching on teen angst, torture porn, melodrama and conventional slasher tropes. It's a gore-filled shocker that goes for laughs by paying homage to the outlandish low-budget video nasties of the '70s and '80s, blending together Misery, Saw, Prom Night, The Evil Dead and Carrie. The fusion of these horror classics makes The Loved Ones one of the best offerings at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Bound to provoke reactions from more sensitive audience members, The Loves Ones is destined to become a cult fave. Leaving most viewers with their hands over their eyes and a smile grinning from ear to ear, this dark horse independent gem is a guaranteed wild and unforgettable ride.

WR Richardson reportedly agrees to deal with Redskins
The Washington Redskins have wrapped up a deal with speedy receiver Paul Richardson for $40 million over five years, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.
Richardson will receive $20 million in guaranteed money, according to NFL Network.
The deal is expected to become official Wednesday, when free agents can begin signing with teams.
Richardson, who turns 26 next month, caught 44 passes for 703 yards and six touchdowns in 2017 in his fourth and best campaign for the Seattle Seahawks.
Richardson had 95 receptions for 1,302 yards in 47 games over parts of four seasons with Seattle.
He played in just one contest in 2015 as he began the season recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the previous postseason. Then he sustained a season-ending hamstring injury in his first game back on the field.
Richardson was a second-round selection in the 2014 draft by the Seahawks.

You’ve lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer. Now the rent is due again. What do you do? If you’re Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter....
Dear Listener, I've heard that many of you would like more books that entertain you the way my Stephanie Plum novels do...
From Janet Evanovich, New York Times best-selling author of the Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, best-selling author and television writer for Monk, comes the first adventure in an electrifying new series....
Buckle your seat belts. New York Times best-selling author Janet Evanovich is moving into the fast lane with Metro Girl, a thrilling, high-octane misadventure with high stakes....
Number one best-selling author Janet Evanovich teams up with award-winning author Dorien Kelly to deliver a sparkling novel of romantic suspense, small-town antics, secretive sabotage, and lots of beer.....
Based on the family from the best-selling Love In A Nutshell, the story of an heiress longing to marry for love or not at all....
Life in Marblehead has had a pleasant predictability, until Diesel arrives. Rumor has it that a collection of priceless ancient relics representing the Seven Deadly Sins have made their way to Boston’s North Shore. Partnered with pastry chef Lizzie Tucker, Diesel bullies and charms his way through historic Salem to track them down - and his criminal mastermind cousin Gerewulf Grimorie. The black-haired, black-hearted Wulf is on the hunt for the relic representing gluttony. Caught in a race against time, Diesel and Lizzie soon find out that more isn’t always better, as they battle Wulf and the first of the deadly sins. With delectable characters and non-stop thrills that have made Janet Evanovich a household name, Wicked Appetite will leave you hungry for more.
I thoroughly enjoyed the earlier Stephanie Plum books but found some of the later ones just okay, if not a bit silly...Well, this new series blows "silly" out of the water. Beyond ridiculous is more like it. A shame really as Diesel's search for the Seven Deadly Sins ancient relics could have been fun. I found the heroine, Lizzie, quite boring and the narrator used an irritating voice for her. I couldn't place the accent and her speech sounded like an older person with loose dentures that kept slipping and making a slight whistle on the S sound. Luckily, her accent came and went.
The featured sin was gluttony but its relation to food was very much overdone to the point of grimacing. The mystery was scant, the unimpressive "bad guy" hardly made an appearance, and the romance was non existing. They'll have to look for the future sins without me.

I'm not a big Evanovich fan, but my sister and I listened to this audio book on a five hour trip last week, and it kept us laughing all the way. We are both looking forward to the next one in the series.

Evanovich spun off the character Diesel from the "Plum Series". This follows the same light hearted, tongue in cheek style. The characters are interesting and funny. This was an ideal release for the Halloween season. This book leaves you laughing. Lorelei King is great narrating this book. Evanovich is a master of dialog.

Well, basically it is a Stephanie Plum novel with new window dressing. Lizzie=Stef, Clara=Connie, Glo=Lula, Diesel= Ranger. Even the Porshe Cheyenne is the same! Come on Janet, can't you come up with something different? Yes, there were quite a few hilarous moments and man, I wanted some cupcakes the entire time I listened to the book!!

I found the story so-so. But the dropping of the "g" at the end of words became so distracting that I really kept losing any focus. It may have been fine as one reads the book but I found it very irritating in listening to the book. Probably will pass on Lizzie from here on out.

I was very disappointed that the female character in Wicked Appetite was so much like Stephanie Plum. She had brownish hair that she puts up in a pony tail that Diesel tugs on (which is what he does with Plum). There were one or two times in the book I was sure I had read the line in a Plum book. I expected Diesel to be Diesel and Carl the Monkey to be Carl but I was really hoping for something new and exciting but was very disappointed.

New Columbia Park Opens
COLUMBIA - Columbia's newest park sat fairly empty Thursday, two days after city officials opened it for public use. Lange Park has a playground, a non-reservable shelter with picnic tables and an open field, all available for public use. The parks is right next to Lange Middle School, which means park goers can use the 400-meter track there during non-school hours.
There is also a gravel walking trail that is one-third of a mile, when used in conjunction with the sidewalk on Smiley Lane.
Toney Lowery, senior parks planner for Columbia Parks and Recreation, said the project finished under budget. He said Lange Park is a positive thing for for both the school and Parks and Recreation department.
"[School workers] were just having to maintain [the area], having to mow it all all the time. So basically what happened was we were allowed to build the park and we'll maintain it," Lowery said. "They'll have less expense. It was rarely being used anyway so it's kind of a win-win."
There is no parking lot for the park; residents should walk or park in the surrounding neighborhood.

Apple’s return-to-office delay could slice into opening of $1 billion Austin campus
Apple’s decision to indefinitely postpone its employees’ return to the office calls into question when in 2022 the tech giant’s new Austin campus will open.
The New York Times and other media outlets reported in December that Apple is delaying its hybrid arrangement of working at the office and working remotely “to a date yet to be determined.” Earlier, Apple had pushed the office return to January or February 2022 from September or October 2021.
“When it is safe for employees to return to the office, Apple is planning for a hybrid work schedule. Employees will be expected to be in the office three days a week, but will have the option of working from home for two days a week,” the MacRumors website says. “Apple also plans to allow employees to work remotely for up to one month per year, giving them more time to travel and be closer to loved ones.”
In April, Apple indicated it planned to welcome employees to its new $1 billion campus in Northwest Austin sometime in 2022 (without specifying a month). But with the company’s return-to-the-office plans now in flux, it’s possible the move in will be delayed.
Corporate site consultant John Boyd says he thinks Apple still will be able to mark its 30th anniversary in Austin with the opening of the new campus in 2022. However, Boyd adds, the emergence of the omicron variant and the continuing threat of the delta variant likely will push the opening further into 2022 than Apple may have planned.
“Big Tech is taking the latest turn of events with COVID very seriously, with Facebook and Google also putting the brakes on previously announced returns. … All of these decisions are being made a bit easier, not just due to the new spread, but also due to the great appeal of remote working by the vast majority of Big Tech and Big Finance workers,” Boyd says. “The flexibility to work remotely, at least on a hybrid basis, has emerged as a very powerful recruiting tool in highly competitive labor markets like Austin.”
Apple declines to comment on the back-to-the-office transition aside from confirming the existence of a corporate memo outlining the latest delay.
Apple announced the $1 billion campus in 2018 and began construction a year later. The office complex, along West Parmer Lane near McNeil Drive, initially will accommodate 5,000 employees and eventually might house as many as 15,000 employees. Apple’s nearby office campus, also along West Parmer Lane in Northwest Austin, employs close to 7,000 people.
The new 133-acre campus will contain about 2 million square feet of office space, as well as a hotel.

4 Fundamental Tap Dance Steps for Beginners

Acting Tips: What's in your Toolbox?
As with any profession, actors have tools. Just as a doctor needs a stethoscope or a fireman needs a hose, there are certain items an actor must keep in their toolbox. I usually start classes or lessons by asking my new students or clients what they think these tools might be. Sometimes, the answer is very literal ("Script!"), and other times abstract ("Passion!").
None of these is a wrong answer. Being an actor or artist is subjective and everyone's process is different and valid. But th

Copublished with the Utah State Historical Society. Affiliated with the Utah Division of State History, Utah Department of Heritage & Arts
Andrew J. Russell is primarily known as the man who photographed the famous “East and West Shaking Hands” image of the Golden Spike ceremony on May 10, 1869. He also took nearly one thousand other images that document almost every aspect of the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. Across the Continent is the most detailed study to date of the life and work of an often-overlooked but prolific artist who contributed immensely not only to documentation of the railroad but also to the nation’s visualization of the American West and, earlier, the Civil War.
The central focus in the book is on the large body of work Russell produced primarily to satisfy the needs of the Union Pacific. Daniel Davis posits that this set of Russell’s photos is best understood not through one or a handful of individual images, but as a photographic archive. Taken as a whole, that archive shows that Russell intended for viewers never to forget who built the Union Pacific. His images celebrate working people—masons working on bridge foundations, freighters and their wagons, surveyors with their transits, engine crews posed on their engines, as well as tracklayers, laborers, cooks, machinists, carpenters, graders, teamsters, and clerks pushing paper.
Russell contributed to a golden age of Western photography that visually introduced the American West to the nation, changing its public image from that of a Great American Desert to a place of apparently unlimited economic potential.
Daniel Davis is the photograph curator and associate librarian of Utah State University’s Special Collections and Archives.

Praise and Reviews:
“In this engaging book, photographic archivist Daniel Davis not only tells the virtually unknown story of railroad photographer A. J. Russell; he also shares Russell’s photographs with readers and helps them better understand the important role played by photo archivists in preserving the past.”
—Richard Francaviglia, author of Over the Range: A History of the Promontory Summit Route of the Pacific Railroad and Imagining the Atacama Desert: A Five-Hundred-Year Journey of Discovery
“Davis gives readers a comprehensive look at who Andrew Russell was and what his movements were both before and after the Union Pacific project. Interesting and well written, the book is both profound and informative, underscoring the cultural significance of these images and of Russell’s body of work in general.”
—Patricia LaBounty, Curator, Union Pacific Railroad Museum
“Daniel Davis does a superb job throughout, and his years of dedicated archival work show, including a much-appreciated index of Russell’s stereographic views for posterity and future scholarship. For those unfamiliar with the history of the transcontinental railroad or the golden age of photography in the American West, this is a good place to start.”
—Great Plains Quarterly

I panicked and left the scene of the accident w property damage to my car and the other person’s car. Police officer got to my house immediately and I admitted my fault. The officer gave me a careless driving ticket and leaving the scene of the accident ticket. I need to file a claim with my insurance to fix both cars. Do I have to tell them it was a hit and run and the infraction? I’m planning to fight the charges but I’m afraid what the insurance company will do. Would they cover for the damages? Would they drop me from coverage?
You have a contractual duty to notify your insurance carrier as soon as possible after a crash. You have a contractual duty to be completely honest with your insurance carrier because they have a duty to defend you during this situation. Not the criminal case, but the civil case that will be coming. You are contractually required to assist your carrier in your defense by any way listed in your policy, So, if you do not do these things, they can deny coverage and leave you high and dry. Good luck.
You are still panicking. It is time to be an adult and deal with this. You have a duty of cooperation with your insurer. They can deny coverage if you fail to tell them everything. Chances are they already know or will soon know about the hit and run so you are better off telling them. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. You caused the accident and your liability coverage is triggered by that act alone. If you have collision coverage, it will cover the damage to your car.
Whether your insurer will drop your coverage will depend on a number of factors. However, that is not a reason to be untruthful to them. If you are dropped from coverage, you can easily get coverage from a high risk carrier.

Not sure what the law is in Florida, but you may be opening yourself up to Insurance Fraud charges is you do not report this accurately to them. You certainly would in NY, where I practice.
If you have collision insurance (full coverage) for the damage to your vehicle, it doesn't matter that you left the scene, especially since you followed up with the police and admitted it. They could drop you from coverage, but they could do that anyway if you have many accidents or a bad driving record.

Multnomah County commissioners approved a $3.5 million deal today to buy a 3.6-acre site in Gresham for the planned East County Justice Facility.
The county is still negotiating to buy two adjoining properties, expected to bring to 4.38 acres the total size of the site at Southeast 185th Avenue and Stark Street. Mike Sublett, who leads the county's real estate transaction team, said those talks involve willing sellers, and he is confident the additional land needed for the 70,000-square-foot facility will soon be secured, allowing the project to be started next year.
Sublett said the full site, once acquired, will be the largest of those considered, offers the most design flexibility and will not require relocating homes.
After years of wrangling over possible sites, Commissioner Lonnie Roberts, who represents east county and has championed the project for the past three years, said: "We had an absolutely superb location drop in our laps."
The $14.3 million structure would house four to six courtrooms, a county sheriff's office branch, a Gresham police office and other support services. The total facility cost, including land, is estimated at $18.6 million, covered by the sale of surplus county property and an expected $2 million contribution from Gresham.

Minnesota DNR getting reports of forest tent caterpillars in Northland
DULUTH, MN. (Northern News Now) - The Minnesota DNR has been receiving reports of a pesky caterpillar showing up around the region.
Forest tent caterpillars, also sometimes called “army worms”, have been spotted in Aitkin, Mille Lacs, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing.
Forest tent caterpillars had a massive outbreak in the Northland back in the early 2000s.
That’s when they could be seen crawling all over roads, houses, trees, and more.
During that outbreak, forest tent caterpillars ate the leaves on approximately 7 million acres of trees in northeast Minnesota.
DNR leaders say they’re a native species and many healthy trees can usually survive that impact as long as it’s not every year.
“If you’re getting defoliation for 4-5 years in a row then you can start to have stress on that tree,” Eric Otto with the Minnesota DNR said. “Then, other opportunistic pests come in and can cause more damage.”
The last outbreak in Minnesota was in 2013 when forest tent caterpillars defoliated about a million acres of trees.
DNR leaders say an outbreak usually happens every 10 years, so there could be an outbreak this year.
The DNR hasn’t done their annual aerial survey yet, so they are unsure of the total number of these insects we could see this summer.
The forest tent caterpillar is not poisonous and doesn’t cause harm to humans.

Well, that whole backwards compatibility thing didn’t last long, did it Nintendo? Amber McCollom, Nintendo of America’s Director of Entertainment & Trend Marketing, confirmed that the upcoming Wii U console/tablet will not be able to read Gamecube discs. Instead, current plans point to select games from the Purple Lunchbox’s back catalog being brought to WiiWare. Why WiiWare, and not…say…the Virtual Console? We’ll let McCollom explain after the jump.
“You know it’s interesting that you bring up backwards compatibility and Nintendo’s history usually goes back one system. The Wii was compatible with GameCube and Wii U will be compatible with Wii and that’s pretty traditional in launches from Nintendo.” McCollom responded to an interview question from NintendoGal, “GameCube discs will not be compatible with Wii U, but a number of the games that were playable on GameCube can be downloaded from WiiWare.”
Well…ok, there wasn’t an explanation in there yet. But the informality of the on-the-show-floor interview could suggest that McCollom misspoke, or that the company’s official position/statement on the subject wasn’t finalized. We have questions currently spending towards Nintendo of America’s inbox, so Elder Geek will keep you informed of any developments.
(via NintendoGal, through Eurogamer)
2 thoughts on “Gamecube Discs Incompatible with Wii U, Coming to WiiWare Instead?”
Well it is entirely possible. Just waiting one official confirmation, then to see what companies will jump on board. Looking to be able to play some games I didn’t get to play on the system, and relive some old games (looking at you Melee). This of course all depends on what games will be available at system launch in both virtual games and physical releases.
I don’t think he misspoke. I heard another interview during e3 where they sort of said the same thing, but for controller compatibility… aka the gamecube controller would not be compatible.

Sikorsky Aerospace Services announces the signing of a $4 million contract with Presidential Airways, a Worldwide Services company based in North Carolina, to provide Heads Up Display (HUD) systems. The distribution of these systems will be performed by Helicopter Support Inc., a Sikorsky Aerospace Services company.
Heads up display allows pilots to see flight instruments and other helicopter information through an eyepiece in their helmet without having to look down at the instrument panel. The system can be used during day and night operations.
"The HUD systems are an innovative technology designed to promote safer missions because pilots can maintain a forward-looking focus," says Frank DiPasquale, Vice President, Business Development, Sikorsky Aerospace Services. "We are pleased to be able to provide Presidential with a solution that meets their mission requirements. This is their first order for HUD units, and we look forward to continuing this successful business relationship."

Partnership Dispute Solicitors
If there are issues and disputes between you and your business partner, don’t delay in taking professional, legal advice.
A dispute between business partners can have far-reaching and long-lasting consequences so it is essential that you speak to one of our experienced lawyers with the specialist expertise required to protect your business.
Lupton Fawcett will take decisive action on your behalf to put you ahead and will provide you with clear, practical advice to resolve the current issue and safeguard your business from similar problems in the future.
To speak to a dedicated dispute resolution solicitor contact us today using the phone number at the top of this page. Alternatively, leave your details in the enquiry form and we’ll call you back.
Our Partnership Dispute Services
Disputes can arise between business partners for any number of reasons, particularly in the absence of a partnership agreement, but the impact can be devastating if not dealt with quickly and effectively.
At Lupton Fawcett we are able to help you with:
- Dissolution and termination of partnerships
- Partnership agreements
- Governance disagreements
- Disagreements about the share of loss or profits
- Breaches of statutory and fiduciary duties
- Division of assets and property
- The rights and obligations of each party
- Partner liability
- Suspension or removal of a partner
- Winding up the business
- Tax matters
Our team has a wealth of experience when it comes to constructing partnership agreements, advising on partners’ rights when there is no written agreement in place and dealing with the complex issues that can arise when one or more partners seeks, or forces another partner, to leave the business. In such circumstances, the rights and obligations of both the departing and continuing partners may be central to the continued viability of the business.
Our aim is always to reduce and minimise the damage and long-term effects on your business by providing you with a fully bespoke and personalised service that recognises the specific circumstances and personal dynamics that are unique to your individual situation and dispute.
We will review the bigger picture before drilling down into the finer details to make sure that we find the most satisfactory and effective resolution.
We regularly deal with the issues that can arise in the context of traditional business partnerships as well as matters that involve limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and their memberships.
Will I Have to go to Court?
We always aim to bring any dispute to a swift conclusion to avoid a stressful, costly and lengthy litigation process.
We are strategic and tactical in our pursuit of the very best results and successfully employ Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods for a large number of our clients including:
Where formal court proceedings are the only available route, as highly accomplished advocacy specialists we will be thorough and robust in our representation of you, acting with the legal and commercial specialism that you will require.
Do I Need a Partnership Agreement?
The best form of defence in any partnership dispute is a clear, written agreement that plainly addresses the following:
- How any profit is split, based on the time, effort and capital that each partner has invested.
- What happens if one partner should die, retire or leave the business for any reason.
- Whether or not a partner can be forced out of the business for unacceptable behaviour.
- How disputes should be dealt with including disciplinary procedures.
- How key decisions within the company are made.
A clear partnership agreement will ensure that you are not simply and automatically subject to the default rules of the Partnership Act 1890, which states that:
- There should be an equal split of the profits if partners go their separate ways.
- The business should dissolve if one partner dies, retires or leaves the business.
- There is no power to force the removal of someone from the business if they are imprisoned or declared bankrupt.
- Any partner liable for the business’s profits is also responsible for any losses, extending to personal assets, unless in a limited liability partnership (LLP).
This default position clearly doesn’t work for everyone’s situation. It wouldn’t be fair for a partner to have profits split equally if they have more capital invested than the other(s) or to be forced to dissolve a business if their partner cannot or does not wish to continue.
A partnership agreement can overrule all these stipulations and means that you are not automatically subject to these default rules and can retain autonomy over how your business is run.

I am 36 years old, and I purchased this to play with my 3 and 5 year olds. They absolutely love this game and beg to play it when I get off work. It rivals Mario Party in board style gameplay, but has a lot of "auto" features that kick in if a person (like my 3 year old Addy) does not initiate a command- making the gameplay seamless. No more taking the controller away from a little one to push a button, etc. Just let them have it and play. Addy, my 3 year old, actually won the last game we played by doing NOTHING but shaking her controller around and watching the screen. It was exciting to a Daddy to say the least!
The gameplay isn't shabby either. I probably would not play it on single player myself as an adult- It doesn't stand up to Mario Party in that respect (I love Mario Party). However, it beats Mario Party HANDS DOWN when it comes to young children in terms of playability, seamless operation, and fun graphics that keeps the kids watching and wanting more.
This is a must own game for any household with young children ages 10 and under. I can't believe this one evaded me for as long as it did before I purchased it!


Developers and planners need to start preparing now for the future impacts of autonomous vehicles, Matthew White suggests in his article for Planning Magazine, published on Friday 15 December 2017.
The article takes the form of a Q&A with Matthew answering the following questions:
- What support are the government and the private sector providing for driverless car technology?
- Is there any evidence that driverless cars will become widespread on UK roads?
- What key planning and development issues does the spread of driverless cars raise?
- How could the rise of driverless cars impact on local authority planners?
- What particular implications does it present to developers?
- Should planners prepare for the impact of driverless cars now?

Deglaciations were the largest sustained climate changes of pre-anthropogenic times. They mark the rapid (over several thousands of years) transitions from an ice age to a warm ‘interglacial’, and were characterized by global temperature increases of 3-6 °C, CO2 rises of about 100 ppmv as well as increases in other greenhouse gases such as methane, sea-level rises (due to continental ice melt-back) of about 130 m, etc.
Well-dated sequences of events exist only for the most recent deglaciation, and are currently being compiled for the penultimate deglaciation. There remains much debate about the causation of, and feedback mechanisms that sustained, deglaciations. With only one or two well-documented examples, we cannot hope to unravel which processes are systematic/fundamental and which processes are unique/coincidental to the deglaciation process. We have developed a novel way for documenting in great detail the sequences of events within deglaciations, based on data collection in the western Mediterranean. We anticipate that we can take this methodology to resolve in detail the sequence of key climate events in every deglaciation of the past 1.2 million years.
If you want to become part of this novel, challenging, and exciting research on the processes behind the largest rapid climate transitions of the past few millions of years, then contact us (Prof. Eelco J Rohling, or Dr. Gianluca Marino)!
We can support projects on this topic at Honours, MSc, and PhD level.

MY FOOLISH FELLOW AMERICANS LOST AGAIN
By J.B. Williams
November 20, 2012
Mitt Romney didn’t lose the 2012 election, America, freedom and liberty all over the world lost. Bozo the clown could have defeated Hussein in any honest election, which is why Hussein had to cheat.
We know that children are foolhardy, which is why they shouldn’t be allowed to vote until they prove that they can care for themselves off of mommy’s apron and daddy’s dime. We know that government dependents will always vote for more gifts from the public trough, which is why people who make poor decisions for themselves shouldn’t make decisions for anyone else.
But my worst nightmare came true in 2012. Back in October 2006, I warned about when 51-49 becomes 49-51, a time in which modern Marxists would outnumber Americans in America. The last few elections create the appearance that we have arrived at that moment in history, but it is only an illusion.
We still outnumber them in every respect, American vs. Marxist, whites vs. blacks, Christians vs. all other faiths, people of faith vs. atheists, and law abiding citizens and taxpayers vs. lawless anarchists and public parasites. We still outnumber them. However…
Fifty percent of Americans don’t bother to vote at all and another X percent cast a fantasy vote (similar to playing fantasy football) for a variety of 3rd party dimwits with no chance of winning local dog catcher. Combined, this is what creates the illusion of a Marxist voting majority, or a seismic shift from pro-American values to an International Marxist agenda in the electorate. It’s just an illusion…
We knew that Obama was not constitutionally eligible to hold office in 2008, but we allowed him to hold office for four disastrous years anyway. We knew that once we allowed that to happen, it would be nearly impossible to stop him from stealing re-election in 2012. We knew that Obama would use a mountain of illegal foreign campaign contributions, massive voter fraud and a leftwing press (including Fox) to retain power at any price. We knew it all would happen and now it has… because we did nothing to stop it!

Thirty people from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have been sentenced to death after a one-day trial for their role in anti-police violence marking the end of Ramadan in the capital.
A policeman was killed in Kinshasa on Thursday as rival Muslim groups battled it out in a large sports stadium on the eve of Ramadan.
Lawyer Chief Tuspaba said 30 people had been sentenced to death in a trial that began on Friday, a day after the violence. The executive confirmed a recording verdict.
The DRC has not carried out the death penalty since the moratorium was enacted in 2003. Since then, the death penalty has been commuted to life imprisonment.
The regional government said several people, including a police officer, were injured in the fighting outside the Shaheed Stadium and a police vehicle was set on fire.
Sivalano Kasongo, the officer-in-charge of Kinshar police station, said about 40 people were injured and 35 were arrested.
The two rival factions have been at loggerheads for years over the leadership of the DRC’s Comico Muslim Federation. Disagreements remain on both sides and occasional injuries.
About 10 percent of the DRC’s population is Muslim, mostly in the eastern part of the country.
But Kinshasao, on the Congo River in the west of the vast Central African country, is also witnessing traditional festivities in public squares and main streets for the end of the sunny Ramadan month.

Hi, just a quick post to show you some pics from 3 workshops I ran for the Cornerstone Art Group which has recently started up. I was asked to run a few sessions for them, so I was pleased. I taught the group how to make gift boxes with an Eaziscore board, grungeboard bookmarks and bracelets (inspired by the ones I saw Sheena Douglass making on TV last year) and Christmas cards with the Light of the World stamp set from PartiCraft.
I really enjoyed working with the group, and they all did brilliantly - well done!
Hi all! Well this week has been busy - my first week in a full-time job for 6 years! It's a temp. job so it'll maybe only last a few weeks, and I'm enjoying it so far.I've not had time for crafting, or blogging though, so here's some pics from the last workshop I did, on 12th November, and some pics of the various stages of the sample decoration I made before the workshop:
The circles were stamped and embossed with white embossing powder on black card, and painted with cosmic shimmer watercolours. You need 20 circles to make one decoration. PartiCraft have a whole range of different designs. Click here to see them.
I didn't get pics of the later stages in the workshop - we were too busy trying to finish them! The ladies used different colours of embossing powders, and made lovely decorations. I missed running the workshop this week, hope you are all able to do some crafting at home instead!
Firstly, here's a pic of my stall at the craft fayre on Saturday, with my friend Isabel helping me out.
There were people selling home baking, hand knitted items, pictures, cross-stitch kits, handmade jewellery etc etc, and together we managed to raise over £600 for Cornerstone, so we were all pleased.
Here are some pic's from last Friday's workshop. I demo'd how to make a shaker card using nestabilities to cut the aperture and frames; heat embossing the images; and using cosmic shimmer watercolours. The cards all came out well, don't you think?
The stamped images are all from the Medallion set 2 A4 stamp set available from partiCraft. And the MERRY CHRISTMAS wording is available as an individual unmounted stamp as well.
This week's workshop will be the last one for a while, as I have got a full-time job for a few weeks, starting on Monday.
So this week we will be making a fantastic Christmas decoration, using these stamps, also available from PartiCraft:
If you want to come, there are a couple of spaces left. Email me to book - use the link on the sidebar. The workshop will be 9.30 till 12.45, with a 15 min break in the middle. Cost £12.
Just a quick note to say I will be at the Craft Fayre at Cornerstone House in Cumbernauld this Saturday. I will be selling candles, tea-light holders, cards and gift boxes.
There will be stalls selling jewelry, home baking, chutney, christmas tree decorations and lots more!
The Fayre is from 11 - 3pm, and the cafe is open so why not come along and have a cuppa, or lunch too?
Here's a few pic's of things I've decorated for the Fayre:
last week I got a set of embossing powders from Particraft, the Festive Sparkle set. The colours are fantastic, and the powders have glitter in them, hence the sparkle. I used the red and green on the bauble and nativity scene on the tea-light jar above.
Well, my internet wasn't working yesterday, so that's my excuse for not posting those pic's I promised!
It's back on for today but will probably be off all next week :-(
Anyway, here are the boxes we made in last week's workshop, I think they turned out really well:
We had all morning, so there was time for everyone to make two boxes. We used the Eaziscore board to make the boxes and the flower and butterfly shapes, distress inks and cosmic shimmer watercolours to colour the boxes, and various stamps from PartiCraft. The swirls were heat embossed with gold embossing powder. If you want to know more details, just ask!
At this week's workshop we will be making shaker cards, as requested by one member of the group...should be fun!

PlayStation 5 Updates: The ingenious YouTuber transforms the black and white plastic housing of the PlayStation 5 into a housing made of solid brass and gives it a unique look.
Although it is already an amazing game console with a futuristic design, it looks even more incredible when the PlayStation 5 is made entirely of brass.
However, although some lucky owners of Sony’s latest game consoles are using custom designs, the general public may encounter problems. PS5‘s supply bottleneck has worsened.
The most recent accident in the Suez Canal was that a large ship blocked the entire canal, causing serious consequences worldwide: it has caused more than $50 billion in losses to the global economy and also caused losses to the gambling industry. It may also be affected.
There is full concern that the blockade of the Suez Canal may cause a serious shortage of PlayStation 5 game consoles. Insufficient host supply has caused a large number of resellers to resell the PS5 at extremely high prices, and the situation may change. Due to this transportation disaster, the scale is even larger.
PlayStation 5 Other Information:Screen Rant
The creator of YouTube content, DIY Perks, turned the ordinary black and white protective cover of the PlayStation 5 into a custom protective cover made entirely of brass.
When I realized in the video that the original console design was one of the most impressive and recognizable console styles in recent years, I decided to take it to a whole new level. After all, as DIY Perks admits, the eye-catching appearance is just a piece of plastic.
This idea led the author to decide to make a new case with higher quality materials. Especially brass. This video covers the entire process of redesigning the PS5 and turning it into shiny metalwork. Of course, in this case, the result looks like an advanced gaming device.
For convenience, brass is sometimes used as a solution for manufacturing radiators. Therefore, the new housing can at least dissipate heat more efficiently than the original plastic housing.
After Sony’s initial sales data, the current game console is still dominated by Sony. According to well-known industry analyst Daniel Ahmad (Daniel Ahmad), Sony sold 4.5 million PlayStation 5 units in the third quarter, including the latter.
This is a good start for a new gaming platform, which may become more popular. After solving all delivery issues. To say the least, the design of the PS5 is amazing, but the customization options make it even more impressive than before.

Drought conditions continued to worsen in parts of Indiana and Ohio in the last week, but improved slightly in others – a pattern likely to continue in the next week, says a Purdue University climatologist. A return to more normal, widespread rainfall in the region of Indiana generally northeast of a Gary to Richmond line that continues into Ohio contributed to slight improvements in areas of both states. But the same storm systems consistently missed west-central Indiana, which is now the area showing the greatest drought declines “The big story here is that significant precipitation has consistently missed west-central Indiana over and over again,” said Ken Scheeringa, associate state climatologist for the Indiana State Climate Office (https://www.iclimate.org), based at Purdue. “This is the area of the state that is worsening the fastest.”
In the Thursday (Aug. 2) Drought Monitor update, the U.S. Department of Agriculture again extended a swath of exceptional drought – the most intense drought rating available – further into west-central Indiana. Severe drought conditions on the western edge of Ohio extended further to the east, but areas along the southern and eastern borders were upgraded from moderate drought to abnormally dry.
The drought monitor can be found at https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu. A long-lived ridge of high pressure has caused storm systems to enter Indiana and travel in a circular pattern that begins in the northwest corner of the state, and then moves southeast to the eastern border with Ohio before exiting to the southeast.”This northeastern portion of Indiana is very slowly improving because of a return to more frequent rainfall,” Scheeringa said.
The normal July rainfall total for both Indiana and Ohio is 1 inch per week. Scheeringa said normal rainfall amounts likely would continue for parts of both states in the coming week, but storm systems still might miss Indiana’s driest areas. Both states are expected to remain hot. He said precipitation the following week would slow once again. “For the next week to 10 days we should see normal rainfall – just enough to keep our drought conditions steady – except in west-central Indiana,” Scheeringa said. “But, after that, our chances of rain do not look as good. “So there’s some good news in the short term, but then it’s back to status quo.”


I have started disassembling my 1922 coupe. I removed the rear fenders and the side steps. I am having problems figuring out how the trunk is removed. Does anyone here know how it is mounted to the cab? It loosened up when I removed the rear fender mounts but it is rock solid under the cab. How is it attached to the cab? it is far from obvious. The car is in my profile photo.
Thanks for any help
The '22 Coupes turtle deck is manufactured as part of the frame work. You will need to remove the sheet metal first and then disassemble the wood in pieces.
Is sheet metal available for replacement or are my fabrication skills going to be tested?
Fabrication skills will be tested. Some sheet metal is available and some fenders are too. Check out the vendors like Rootlieb who make some sheet metal parts. I can send some additional photos to you if you want me to.
The floor pan I fabricated as well as all the rear turtle deck top and back panels the sides of the turtle deck were patched by welding in panels.
The doors had panels welded in too.
All the photos you can send will be greatly appreciated. I thought I was going to take off the trunk and cab and clean up and paint the chassis but this is a horse of a different color.
You can send them to my email if you wish firstname.lastname@example.org or you can post them here. any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm sure I will be able to do this with some advice.
