Jaycee Dugard: One Year Later
On August 24, 2009, a registered sex offender named Phillip Garrido entered the University of California in Berkeley with two young girls. He spoke to campus police official Lisa Campbell about hosting an event for his group, "God's Desire." Campbell found the trio's behavior to be highly unusual, and told Garrido to come back the following day.
That night, Campbell asked police officer Ally Jacobs to join her for the meeting. Jacobs ran a background check on Garrido, and discovered that he was still on parole for kidnapping and raping a woman in 1976. She quickly agreed to attend.
The Discovery
Phillip Garrido returned on August 25 with the two girls. Both Campbell and Jacobs felt their behavior was abnormal. Jacobs described the encounter to Garrido's parole officer, who decided to bring Garrido in for questioning. He was allowed to leave a few hours later, but told to return the following morning.
Garrido brought his wife Nancy, a young woman he called "Alyssa" and two young girls to this meeting. The girls raised red flags when they referred to Garrido as "daddy." Phillip Garrido has no children. After a lengthy interrogation, the truth finally emerged. The young woman was Jaycee Dugard; she had been kidnapped from her Lake Tahoe home in 1991.
Jaycee Dugard was allegedly abducted by the Garrido's and held hostage in their backyard for 18 years. She lived in a tent and was denied every form of personal freedom. Dugard was repeatedly raped while in captivity. The two young girls belonged to her. Phillip Garrido is their father.
Jaycee Today
After nearly 2 decades, Jaycee Dugard was finally free to reunite with her family. Her mother was stunned to learn that she has two granddaughters. Since then, they all live together in an undisclosed California city.
In October, 2009, Jaycee agreed to an interview with People magazine, and later released a short video to ABC News. The video shows Jaycee laughing, horseback riding and baking cookies with her family. Dugard also released a statement to thank people for their support and said "It's been a long haul, but I'm getting there."
Terry Probyn, Dugard's mother, hopes Jaycee will be left alone. She requests privacy for the family, and admonishes that they need time to heal. Her request was recently ignored when an unknown photographer snapped several pictures of Jaycee with her daughters. Dugard's spokesperson Nancy Seltzer said she feels shame for the photographer, and added that that Jaycee "isn't a public figure by her own choice — nor are her daughters. They should have the opportunity to lead as normal a life as possible without being treated as a curiosity by onlookers and their cameras."
Police Reaction
The story of Jaycee Dugard brought serious criticism to the Contra Costa County Sherriff's Office. Parole officers visited Garrido's home on several occasions, and even saw Dugard on the premises. No one, however, questioned the presence of a young woman in the home of a known sex offender.
Sheriff Warren Rupf apologized on behalf of his department and stated that he would retire after 18 years of service. Rupf admitted that his agency had "blown its best chance to find her." The only bright side is that this situation caused the department to reevaluate important procedures. They created several new policies that are intended to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.
Chief among these policies is a simple, but imperative declaration. Look in the backyard.
The clampdown appears to be working. Officers recently rescued a 14-year-old girl who was being held by a known sex offender. Registered offenders who wear GPS devices now receive more stringent monitoring. Parolees are no longer allowed to get away with going beyond their approved range or staying out past their curfew.
The Garridos
Following their arrest, Phillip and Nancy Garrido were charged with kidnapping and rape. They are currently locked up and forbidden from seeing each other. Both remain committed to a "not guilty" plea.
Phillip Garrido's mental competency has been questioned. Whether or not he is mentally competent to stand trial is uncertain. A preliminary hearing for the Garridos could be delayed if a judge decides that Phillip requires a psychological exam.
$20 Million Apology
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently approved and signed a $20 million settlement for Jaycee Dugard. The money is intended to provide reparations for her family, and for the perceived incompetence of parole officers who monitored Phillip Garrido.
An official memo about the settlement admitted that the case has a "unique and tragic character." It went on to say that no amount could make up for what Dugard and her daughters were forced to endure, but the money could help them "rebuild their lives." The memo also estimated that the Dugard family would likely need up to $7 million just for counseling services in the coming years.
Sex Offenders
Dugard's case has helped initiate policies to pro prevent sex offenders from harming new victims. State officials are eager to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
The police will be far stricter when dealing with offenders, and parents can also help keep their families safe. Adults may run Sex Offender Searches to learn about registered offenders living in any city or zip code. The search provides a report that contains the name of each offender and details about their crimes. It can be used to educate families with useful information about offenders who live near any home, school or other location.
We applaud Jaycee Dugard and the bravery her entire family has shown. She is moving forward with her life; working hard to earn her GED and obtaining a driver's license. With time, love and support, Jaycee Dugard is going to be okay.

Swimming & Diving Hosts UNC-W, Richmond Friday & Saturday
By ODU Athletics
Oct. 8, 2012
NORFOLK, Va. -- The Old Dominion men's and women's swimming & diving teams will host UNC-W and Richmond on Friday and Saturday at the J.C. "Scrap" Chandler Pool at the Student Recreation Center.
Action on Friday begins at 4 p.m. and Saturday's events will start at 10 a.m.
The ODU men's swimming & diving team earned nine individual and a pair of relay wins in last year's victory over the 11-time defending CAA Champion UNC-W Seahawks. Among those helping the Monarchs to the 186-165 win were first place times captured by the 200 and 400 medley relay teams, Sidni Hoxha in the 50 and 100 freestyle, Bernardo Figuredo in the 500 and 1650 freestyle, and Jason Brame in the 400 individual medley.
The ODU women's swimming & diving team meanwhile picked up six individual win as they spit last year's meet with an 86-77 win over Richmond and 96-67 loss to UNC-W. Lady Monarch event winners included Yesim Giresunlu in both the 500 and 1650 freestyle, Savannah Bowers in the 200 freestyle, and Jessica Hubert in the 200 butterfly.
Following this weekend's home meet with the Seahawks and Spider, the Monarchs and Lady Monarchs will host the Second Annual Five Mile Swim-a-Thon on October 20th and travel to Delaware for a conference contest at the University of Delaware on October 27th.

Last year, I wrote a fairly general post about my life as a Roman bioarchaeologist for the Day of Archaeology – So You Want to Be a Roman Bioarchaeologist? This year, I thought I'd write a more week-in-the-life kind of post.
For many archaeologists, the summer is prime digging season, a time to get a ton of research done and data collected. My summer is a bit more complicated this year, though. I am not in the field, but rather am furiously finishing up a few writing projects with end-of-summer deadlines, packing and planning to move 700 miles away for a new faculty position that starts in five weeks, and leaving the house at 2:30pm every weekday to head to summer camp, where I pick up a 3-year-old who is exhausted, sticky with sunblock, and reeking of bug spray.

For the second straight week, the Poughkeepsie HS football team earned a shutout at home, this time beating the visiting Hendrick Hudson Sailors, 20-0. Now you can follow along with the Pioneers.
Click this first video to watch the Pioneers march from their school, across Forbus Street, and into Kalloch Field as a Homecoming crowd greets the home team.
From there, the Pioneers and Sailors went through a scoreless first half before the home team got on the scoreboard thanks to senior Jovan Wilkins.
Click this video to watch Wilkins give Poughkeepsie an early 7-0 lead with his 41-yard touchdown run, which came off a reverse with 7:38 left in the first half.
Ahead by that touchdown at halftime, the Pioneers added to their eventual winning margin in the third quarter, thanks to Sid Haddad's sure hands.
You can click this video watch quarterback Fabian Stone connect with Haddad for a 21-yard touchdown pass that grew Poughkeepsie's lead to 13-0 after the Pioneers' point-after try sailed wide.
From there, the Pioneers got an insurance touchdown from Josh Oliver in the fourth quarter to beat the visitors, 20-0, and improve to 3-0 overall this season, heading into next week's game at Somers.

Greater internet access leads to an increase in drug abuse, according to docboffins in the US. The researchers consider that this is due to the fact that the internet offers the opportunity to illegally purchase prescription drugs from rogue online pharmacies.
"We know we face a growing problem with prescription drug abuse in the United States. One need only look at statistics for college campuses, where prescription drugs are fast replacing illegal substances, to see the magnitude of the problem," says Dana Goldman, a top boffin at the University of Southern California. "Our findings suggest that Internet growth may partly explain the increase in prescription drug abuse, since it is well known that these drugs are easily available online."
Goldman and his colleagues came to this conclusion by examining FCC data on access to broadband internet across the States, and correlating this with records on admission to treatment centres for abuse of prescription drugs. Particular favourites, apparently, include powerful narcotic painkillers like Percocet and Oxycontin, and various other painkillers, stimulants, sedatives and tranquillisers.
The study showed that each 10 percent increase in the availability of broadband in a state was followed by a 1 percent increase in admissions for prescription drug abuse. During the same period admissions involving abuse of alcohol, heroin or cocaine - substances not available online in the US - showed minimal growth or actually decreased. "Overall growth in drug-seeking behavior cannot explain the rise in prescription drug abuse," says Anupam Jena of the Massachusetts General Hospital, collaborating with Goldman on the research. "Further studies need to better evaluate how easily commonly abused prescription drugs can be purchased online and explore the importance to the problem of foreign Internet pharmacies, which are outside the jurisdiction of the US government."
Jena and Goldman's paper Growing Internet Use May Help Explain The Rise In Prescription Drug Abuse In The United States is published online by the journal Health Affairs. ®

The Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (Ancap) will participate for the first time as an exhibitor at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney this week.
Held from October 18-28, Ancap will be exhibiting among the world's biggest manufacturers. It will showcase five star safety to show-goers with one of its crash-tested cars on display.
The five-star Hyundai i45 will be the key feature of the Ancap stand but it won't be showroom-detailed model - rather one that has undergone an Ancap frontal offset crash test.
The frontal offset test simulates hitting another car of the same mass travelling at the same speed so 40 per cent of the car, on the driver's side, makes contact with a crushable barrier at 64km/h.
The i45 achieved the maximum five star Ancap safety rating with solid results across all physical crash tests and through the inclusion of safety features including six airbags, electronic stability control, emergency brake assist and seat belt pretensioners.
Another car that also gained five star Ancap rating recently was Volkswagen's small hatchback, Up.
Launched in Australia this month, and under consideration to come to New Zealand, the four-seater provided consumers with class-leading safety including autonomous emergency braking (AEB).
Referred to as City Emergency Braking by Volkswagen, the AEB system has been included as standard across all Up variants.
"Ancap is pleased to see that the Up provides advanced safety features as standard and offers other occupant comforts such as Bluetooth as optional extras," said Ancap chairman, Lauchlan McIntosh.
"It is hard to fathom why features that protect vehicle occupants are sold as optional extras by most manufacturers yet alloy wheels and leather seats, for instance, come as standard.
"The move by Volkswagen to include AEB in the Up as standard across all variants is a welcome change.
"The standard fitment of safety features and safety technologies is something Ancap has been advocating for some time and all manufacturers should follow Volkswagen's lead."
AEB systems use a combination of lasers, radar and cameras to detect an imminent rear-end crash and can automatically apply the brakes of a vehicle. The fast adoption of new technologies like AEB could see the road toll halved by 2020.
AEB is currently being considered by Ancap as a mandatory safety requirement.

4 dead in small plane crash near Dallas
DALLAS (AP) — Authorities say four people have died in the crash of a small plane that went missing after departing from a regional airport near Roanoke.
Lynn Lunsford of the Federal Aviation Administration says the identities of the victims in Saturday's crash have not been made public. She says the Beechcraft Bonanza took off Saturday morning from the Northwest Regional Airport near Roanoke and disappeared about 25 miles southeast of Terrell.
She says a search was begun after air traffic controllers lost radar and radio contact with the plane.
Lunsford says a Texas Department of Safety helicopter that took part in the search found the plane Saturday evening near Terrell. She says all the dead were aboard the aircraft.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
Hello everyone, I am just now getting back into the business after being out for 4 years. My dealership is thinking about implementing a BDC from scratch. I have sales manager, internet manager experience from the past however I have not set up a new department before. Can someone advise me on what has been successful in todays market? My owner has committed to a company to come in and set us up, I'm looking for advice from successful BDC's in todays market on staff size, responsibilities, pay structure ect... We sit down with the company in a couple of weeks and I want to have some ideas beforehand. Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
Views: 174
Thanks Jason, thats pretty much what the company setting it up told us to look for. We're going to look in house at the people we have then maybe look outside for someone with more phone experience than sales.
You have a huge challenge by the way. You have two brands that are heavily influenced by the OEM.
Ford with Ford digital marketing and Chrysler with Shift Digital. This is great experience for you to learn best practices from two OEMs and to see how you can think outside the box to make them work for each brand. Here is what you need to do. Learn what you can. Test your market. Test your process. Improve the processes. Dominate your market.
script, script, script. i think it depends on HOW INVOLVED you want the BDC. phone up / web lead / chat lead are different sides to the same coin, and i still believe in tom stuker's training that the goal of a phone up is to set an appointment.
that said, you can't ignore that 100% of the research tells us that customers really just want a price. there are 20 ways to work around that, but even the strongest phone pro has to oblige the prospect in some cases. just because customers want something doesn't mean we automatically give it to them.

Xerox and PARC Define the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Don't be fooled by futurist ramblings about what artificial intelligence might do for you in the future. The future is here, and it's very likely that artificial intelligence is working in your office – right now.
That's especially true if you use Xerox technology, software or services in your workplace. Our business has always been about connecting the enterprise and people to the flow of information.
In an interview with AI Trends Dr. Tolga Kurtoglu, CEO of PARC, a Xerox company, explained the focus areas for the lab's AI research:
- Sense the world better: PARC researchers are working on novel sensors, low-cost electronics, and printed sensors and electronics. Their work promises to deliver radically different ways sensing the world.
- Elevate machine intelligence: Researchers are studying how AI can make machines smarter by studying the data and processes that our systems produce.
- Safety and security: All machines — regardless of whether they operate in the physical world, cyber world or both — must operate reliably and securely.
Examples of AI at PARC
None of this is theory. Here's a look at some "real life" work in artificial intelligence from PARC:
- Deployed artificial intelligence for Tokyo's East Japan Railway Company, as well as Procter & Gamble.
- Explainable AI: Algorithms are great finding patterns in data and making recommendations, but they cannot explain how they arrived at a decision. Explainable AI will make an algorithm's inner workings more transparent.
- Smart monitoring for the electric grid: Fiber optics are a proven technology. PARC researchers are improving AI and adding new analytics capabilities that can make the U.S. electric power grid more secure and reliable.
Artificial intelligence has arrived, rolled up its sleeves, and got to work. Welcome to the future.

Varsity Eight Takes Third, Varsity Four Places Fifth at Knecht Cup
By ODU Athletics
April 10, 2011
CAMDEN, N.J. - Old Dominion's Varsity Eight placed third and the Varsity Four took fifth in the Grand Final of the Knecht Cup on the Cooper River Sunday.
The Lady Monarchs were among over 50 schools from across the country competing in this weekend's regatta. Old Dominion advanced to the Grand Final after winning their respective heats in the regatta's quarterfinals and semifinals.
"The racing was fantastic on the whole," said head coach Dan Garbutt. "I think the weekend further demonstrated this teams development over the past months. All three boats that competed this weekend - Varsity Eight, Second Varsity Eight, & Varsity Four - finished with marked improvement over last spring. The field of competition was deep and this was the first time ODU has attempted to field a V8 in the Knecht Cup."
The Varsity Eight rowed to a third-place finish with a time of 6:53.50. Grand Valley won the race in a time of 6:47.61, while Rutgers took second with a time of 6:47.61. The Lady Monarchs finished ahead of shells from Duke, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The Varsity Four meanwhile placed fifth in the seven-boat field of the Grand Final. The Lady Monarchs rowed to a time of 7:58.71. UMass placed first in the event with a time of 7:46.20, followed by Buffalo in second (7:49.96), Duke in third (7:53.41), and Villanova in fourth (7:54.06). Old Dominion finished ahead of both Boston College and Kansas.
The Old Dominion women's rowing team returns to the water on Friday, April 15th and Saturday, April 16th when they compete against Bucknell and Colgate
"I am excited to see the continued growth and development of this young team," added Garbutt.
Varsity Eight Grand Final:
1. Grand Valley - 6:47.34
2. Rutgers - 6:47.61
3. Old Dominion - 6:53.50
4. Duke - 6:55.31
5. West Virginia - 7:02.74

Could you post thd whole interview si
I've just finished the pre match interview and I've decided that I want to keep him (Mr. David Unsworth) as manager at least until the season ends. Hopefully and probably longer (IMO) His answers are very good and respectful to everyone. The best from him is... I am what I am...I haven't read any posts in here on this subject and this is only my opinion.take care, Ari.
If he wins at Anfield then we should offer him a lifetime contract, any salary he wants.
I know you're joking but fuck me is that small time. It's Roberto on the side of Goodison small that.

It's hard not to let out a low whistle when you scan this post at Jeremiah Owyang's blog.
As the Forrester Research analyst catalogues in a running tally, scores of vendors are now in the "white-label" social networking platform business.
Instead of a proprietary platform like LinkedIn or Facebook, such companies offer a framework to enterprises or individuals wishing to build an online community tailored to their tastes and needs. The platforms are being used for everything from marketing and branding to internal enterprise use.
"Yup, I'm the analyst focused on this space, and not even I can keep up with the many vendors," Owyang said via e-mail this week.
"The flood in this market is due to low barriers to entry from easy-to-deploy software, an influx of venture money wanting to get in on the 'so-net' action and media frenzy from existing social networks like Facebook, MySpace and others," he said.
This particular bubble could soon contract, Owyang suggested. "Like the [content management system] industry in the late '90s, expect to see some major acquisitions from major [enterprise resource planning], media, and Web companies ... traditional CMS vendors are currently adding 'social features' to their products -- most without success -- and will resort to acquiring vendors to fill their suites."
Surviving companies will become marketing partners for enterprises, not just software providers, he predicted. "Let's not discount technology completely, it can be an edge, but the ones that will stand out will have a full solution," he said.
Alex Blum, CEO of KickApps, said Owyang has a point.
A successful social-networking site "has very little to do with technology," he said, and "more to do with how you program and nurture a successful community."
The company wrote a white paper, "Nine Steps to a Successful Online Community," that spends only a limited amount of time talking about technology.
Like other companies, KickApps' hosted platform is set up to let customers handle customizations. "We need to have a scalable business on a self-service basis," Blum said. "If we relied on going out and talking to every one of our customers, it wouldn't work. It doesn't scale."
However, KickApps offers tools that run the gamut from a simple-to-use editor for adjusting look and feel, to more robust developer APIs. The company claims that about 14,000 sites have been built with its platform.
In contrast to the relatively new KickApps, which started up in 2005, Sparta Social Networks is a veteran in the space, having formed in 1999.
That seasoning will help the company as the category contracts, said its CEO, Jerry Sheer. "We've got eight years behind us. We understand the space more than these new players."
The company is also banking on its J2EE-based platform, which is ideal for large enterprises, Sheer said.
Sparta will apply advanced analytics and metrics to derive meaning from social networking data. "We're going to do some very interesting things," Sheer said, adding that a social network is essentially a "focus group on steroids."
That strategy ties into a trend Owyang sees: companies offering "insight, intelligence and data" about online communities. There's yet another related category as well, the analyst notes: firms pushing Web collaboration offerings.
From the wide range of choices, G-Unit Records picked Ning, a company formed by Netscape cofounder Marc Andreessen. Ning targets both consumers and businesses with its hosted offering.
Chris "Broadway" Romero, who oversees digital media at G-Unit Records, said Ning was the right platform for rap star 50 Cent's social networking site, citing its ability to "stand in the background."
"Unless you're an administrator, you don't have to see their name too much," he said.
Romero said Ning "could run a little faster," but mused, "Every time you add someone with the power of 50 Cent, it's going to bend the walls of any system out there."
Seventy-five thousand people are members of the site, according to Romero. That growth was driven by person-to-person referrals, not traditional advertising, he said. "It's definitely the way of the future," he said of social networking as a marketing tool. "Everyone should do it."
It may not matter much if enterprises find themselves with fewer offerings to choose from down the road, he suggested: "It's more about the person's vision than the tools, most of the time."

(That last sentence took three attempts.) Now available in supermarket deli sections... Jalapeño Jack and Chipotle Cheddar Pretzel Crisps! AHHHHHHHHH! Each serving of the flat pretzel twists (10 crackers) has 110 calories, 1.5 - 2g fat, 400 - 530mg sodium, 22g carbs, 1g fiber, 2 - 3g sugars, and 3g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). Bolthouse Farms Creamy Yogurt Dressings and Olive Oil Vinaigrettes - WOW. These all-natural salad dressings taste SPECTACULAR.

Do you sip sugar-sweetened drinks? It's not at all uncommon; research shows that half of the American population does. But the calorie consumption from these drinks among that half is staggering. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that of those folks who drink sugary beverages -- including energy drinks, fruit drinks, sweetened "waters," and sports drinks -- 50 percent consume at least 200 calories' worth daily, and 10 percent consume more than 567 calories' worth per day! A spokeswoman for the American Heart Association says that sugar-sweetened beverages are the top single source of calories in the diets of everyday Americans. People, that's a problem -- not just because of the added calorie intake and weight gain, but also because of increased risk of serious health complications. That's why the AHA, along with the American Diabetes Association and more groups, have joined the Center for Science in the Public Interest in its Life's Sweeter with Fewer Sugary Drinks campaign. And before you start thinking, "Hands OFF my soda," the campaign is merely looking to reduce the average person's consumption level to three sugary drinks per week. Think about scaling back -- it could do your body good!

III. Prevailing Wage Rates
Once construction has begun, are the workers' wage rates affected when the wage determination for the area in which the project is located is changed?
As a general rule, the wage determination incorporated into a bid solicitation and related contract award establishes the minimum wage rates and fringe benefits which must be paid for the entire term of the contract.
Where the proper wage determination is incorporated into a contract prior to award of the contract, wage determination modifications issued after bid opening are not applicable to the contract –- except in the case of a general wage determination in a contract that has not been awarded within 90 days after the bid opening and an extension of the 90-day limit has not been granted. (Specific requirements involving dates other than bid opening apply for projects assisted under the National Housing Act and for projects that receive housing assistance payments under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937).
Upon his or her own initiative or at the request of an agency, the Administrator may correct any wage determination if he or she finds that the determination contains an inadvertent clerical error. For example, a wage determination contains a wage rate where there is a transposition of numbers, such as a fringe benefit of $2.53 appears in the wage determination as $2.35.
Also, the Administrator may issue a wage determination after contract award or after the beginning of construction if:
- the contracting/assisting Federal agency has failed to incorporate the applicable wage determination in a contract required to contain prevailing wage rates determined in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act, or has used a wage determination which by its terms or the provisions of Regulations, 29 CFR Part 1, clearly does not apply to the contract, or
- the wrong wage determination has been incorporated in the contract because of an inaccurate description of the project or its location in the agency's SF-308 request.
Under either of these two circumstances, the agency shall either terminate and resolicit the contract with the valid wage determination, or incorporate the valid wage determination retroactive to the beginning of construction through supplemental agreement or through change order, provided that the contractor is compensated for any increases in wages resulting from such change. The method of incorporation of the valid wage determination, and adjustment in contract price, where appropriate, should be in accordance with applicable procurement law.

We all know that when we make decisions in groups, they don't always go right -- and sometimes they go very wrong. How can groups make good decisions? With his colleague Dan Ariely, neuroscientist Mariano Sigman has been inquiring into how we interact to reach decisions by performing experiments with live crowds around the world. In this fun, fact-filled explainer, he shares some intriguing results -- as well as some implications for how it might impact our political system. In a time when people seem to be more polarized than ever, Sigman says, better understanding how groups interact and reach conclusions might spark interesting new ways to construct a healthier democracy.

About this paper
Banks and regulators are all about data quality these days – and for good reason. Without meaningful data quality management, big data only leads to faster analysis of "data debris" and inaccurate risk insights. From a risk perspective, high-quality data is essential to implementing effective risk strategies and ensuring compliance. BCBS 239 is just one of many regulatory communications with requirements predicated upon banks having quality data. This paper explains how effective data quality management should be considered a basic requirement for modern-day bank management. It focuses on five best practices for improving data quality that are derived from successful SAS projects within the financial services industry.

The X-Bolt Medallion bolt action rifle is presented with a fine gloss-finished, checkered walnut stock. The steel receiver is engraved and has a blued finish for beauty and durability. Insuring long-range accuracy is the totally free-floated barrel and Feather Trigger System, two of the most critical components of any high-powered hunting rifle. The action of the bolt is sure, smooth and secure. Rounds fed from the detachable box magazine align the bullet straight with the chamber providing reliable, smooth feeding. This way, cartridges push directly in-line with the bore, sure, simple and secure. And, it is no ordinary magazine -- it is a compact Rotary magazine design that is as convenient as it is efficient. Did we mention the X-Lock system that's offers scope mounting twice as robust as conventional four screw systems. And the Bolt Unlock Button that allows you to open the bolt with the safety on. Many other high-powered, bolt-action rifles may catch your eye. But feature-to-feature, the X-Bolt Medallion has more critical features to help you shoot straight and bag that deer every time, confidently, accurately. Displayed images are stock photos.

What the hell is Semach?
30 comments :
- Claire Dawn said...
SO I was never ending up with spinach. Semacl, sernad, semadi, yes. Spinach, no. lol.
I should make lists. I'm the kind of person who goes to the supermarket for limes and leaves with $40 in groceries.
And FORGETS THE LIMES!!!

You are one unique individual, I'm sure the mold was broken when they were done with you.
Maybe you should get one of those pocket recorders.
- May 10, 2011 at 3:26 AM
Actually my own lists are okay. My husband writes stuff on grocery lists that I can't decipher. At all. I have showed some of his stuff to colleagues and friends and they can't decipher them either. Your Semach would fit in there well -- of course, it help to make sense of "semach" when you at least have an idea of what you were planning on cooking (and can figure out what missing ingredient it might represent).
Unfortunately, with my huband's scratchings I have NO idea what he had in mind. I am getting better at it -- if I can just get the first letter I have an 80% chance of figuring out what it might be based on having learned what sort of things he generally notices are missing in the cupboard...but it's taken 6+ years to get this far. This morning he left me a note on the coffee maker which I absolutely couldn't decipher -- and which he later decrypted as "turn on again" because he'd turned the machine off halfway through -- but which appeared, even to my experienced eye, to be "burn off angles". WTF?????

You need to use Frenech dressing on your Semech.

Okay, now that the semach/spinach mystery is solved, I want to know what condensed "cx" soup is. My imagination is running away with me.
I too never leave home without a list. Of course, sometimes I still come home without stuff that is plainly ON my list. Apparently you have to LOOK at a list once you get to the store for it to work.

I scribble notes all over everything. I can read my writing, most of the time, but I don't always remember *why* I wrote what I wrote.
On the back of the nearest envelope right now:
"M. does the thing with the jacket. V. is jealous."
Um, okay. What jacket thing? Is V. jealous of M.? Or the jacket?
"Bill Cameron"
Lovely man, good writer. And . . .?
"Beg for Making Waves ARC, pre-review post. Try puppy dog eyes."
Oh, wait -- I remember what that one's for.
- May 10, 2011 at 4:31 AM
LInda G wants to know what "cx" soup is (my guess, following my own abbreviations is "chicken"...).
But just to the right of Semach is something that looks like "Hot Lips"....???!
- May 10, 2011 at 4:56 AM
You actually have sort of neat hadwriting as far as I'm concerned, if somewhat little boy-ish. I can never read my own handwriting. Which doesn't dtop me nearly enough from writing everythign down.
My husband uses a schmancy shopping list app that rules his life. He seems to like it. I just stay out of the grocery store, and I like that.
- May 10, 2011 at 5:21 AM
- Noelle Pierce said...
My handwriting is fairly neat, in the daytime, and I used to have a notebook on my nightstand...a habit I've long since abandoned. We have blackout curtains in our room, cover the alarm clocks with towels, and have electrical tape (y'know, the black kind) over every single electronic light display in the bedroom. There. is. no. light. So I'd really be fumbling in the dark. I'd write a word or two without a problem, then lift my hand and lose my place. In the morning, I had seven to ten notes jotted in the same place on the page. Not pretty.
And yeah, I use my iPod task/notes thing for groceries, or anything else I need. Or the little Dragon Naturally Speaking app so I can just do voice recordings. :D

- Unknown said...
I'm also confused about the "hot lips" on the list - though if it means you are coming over to Sweden to get that specific coffee drink with me, I'm perfectly alright with the idea. ;) It's delicious (and fun to order!)
And yes, I write lists, but I rarely need to look at them. Somehow the act of writing it down means I remember it by heart.
- May 10, 2011 at 5:50 AM
- Patty Blount said...
I love lists. I have lists of my lists. I can't write a word until I've listed characters, traits, flaws, goals, scenes.
But I have the world's worst handwriting. In fact, I no longer write in cursive because even I can't read it. I block print everything.
- May 10, 2011 at 6:08 AM
Oooooh, Malin, I think I figured out "Hot Lips" -- I'll bet it's "hot wings".
(It's elementary, Watson: what do you buy at the supermarket that starts with "hot" -- "hot sauce" is out, but if you look closely, that's a "W" following "hot", then "gs" -- ergo "Hot Wgs", voilà "Hot Wings"...
I have really developed a talent for this stuff, thanks to my hubby!

So I officially hate you for living close enough to a Trader Joe's to actually shop there. I could WALK to the Trader Joe's near my house in Seattle. Now there is no way.
I often think of clever writing things in the middle of the night, and will get up to text or email them to myself. Rarely do they seem as clever the next day, but it has happened.
- May 10, 2011 at 6:28 AM
- Laura Maylene said...
Ha ha ha. Sorry about the "ewwww," but it just so immediately jumped out at me as a combination of "semen" and "sumac." Semen that will give me an agonizing skin rash is NOT something I want to come across in a grocery story.

linda - CX is chicken.
tawna - i am a big fan of handwritten lists and it helps that i have the world's neatest handwriting. i'm trying to digitized things on my phone, but there's something so satisfying about scratching things off a list. although, i just moved from one apartment to another and having handwritten lists would have been a nightmare because everything was getting thrown into boxes, so the "springpad" app on my droid was beyond amazing.
- May 10, 2011 at 6:42 AM
You need a flashlight pen for the late-night inspirations.
It's perfect...one click is the pen, one more click adds the flashlight. Another click turns both off once the brilliant ideas have left your mind and reside on paper.
I have two (because while they are a great idea, they are never constructed well) by the bed and they've worked wonders :)

The one time I can't live without lists is if I'm going to travel or do something of tremendous importance the next day.
In those cases, I write a list of everything I need to do otherwise I won't sleep for worrying about forgetting something important.
My handwriting used to be beautiful. Now I'm always in too much of a hurry.

Love lists..and this post almost made me pee myself. Actually, I'm pretty sure I said that last time, so either you're really funny or I have bladder control issues..but I digress.
I make lists for everything. I have neat handwriting, so I can always read them. My only problem is forgetting the list when I leave the house. I've got lots of them lying around the house, sad and lonely.
- May 10, 2011 at 8:58 AM
- Susan Flett Swiderski said...
Yeah, I'm a big list maker. (Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean I always remember to take the darned lists WITH me when I head out the door!) I have my own abbreviations, too, which made my kids flip out years ago when they saw the word "pot" on my shopping list. (potatoes, of course!)
- May 10, 2011 at 9:03 AM
- TAWNA FENSKE said...
Glad you guys have enjoyed laughing at me :)
Linda G, German Chocolate Betty is exactly right, "cx" is chicken. It's an abbreviation I picked up working as a waitress many, many moons ago, but I've found few people outside the food industry who know what it means.
For those speculating about the Hot Lips reference, that's my grandmother's nickname. Her birthday is coming up this weekend, and since she's a big fan of all the nuts and dried fruit at Trader Joes, that was my note so I'd remember to buy her a few things.
Thanks for reading, everyone!

Aww Tawna, that's so horrible. I spent a lot of years working on my writing because I would never be able to read anything I wrote. I used to write in class and type it up later and spend hours agonizing over words. It was terrible.
And I'm one of those people who only make a list if I'm sending someone else for me. I almost always forget something when I go into the store by myself but still can't bring myself to make a list. They feel so...confining. Yes, I know I am strange. Besides, if I make a list I forget it at home or forget to bring a pen.

With me it's drawing. If I freehand a plan for building something one day, I'm guaranteed to have a day of figuring out what it meant.
A friend of mine asked what a drawing I had pinned to my workshop project board.
"It's a chair", I said after a quick glance, though not really sure. It may have been a desk... or a floor plan to the Batcave?
"Are you going to make it?" He's smiling now knowing what I'm going to say.
"It's time hasn't come just yet", I then snatch the "plan" from him and put it in the 4" inch pile of plans to be deciphered at a later date.
Great post as always Tawna and if it turns out to be a chair I'll send it to you. From what I could tell from the drawing, it leans to one side... Great for listing?
All the Best,

LOL!! That was a great story!!!! I do have a notepad on my nightstand, but learned a very important lesson one night...it is imperative to actually turn on the light while jotting down notes.

I am with you 100% about using written lists instead of electronic. I tried to use the grocery list app on my EVO and, just, no. Give me a pen and the back of a receipt or something and I'm good to go.
And I had "spinach" immediately, too. ;)

I got spinach after I discarded sammich as a non starter. I love to make lists. I love to put things on my lists just so I can cross them off, you know like stuff I've already done that would have been on the list if I hadn't done them before I started making the list.

I'm sorry, Tawna, I was too busy wondering why you had "Hot Lps Stuff" scrawled at the bottom. Forget the semaches. Who needs them when we can shop for Hot Lp Stuff! LOL

I got spinach the third time I looked at that, but seriously, wow. :)
I'm with you on the not writing thing, especially in the middle of the night. I've thought about it, but I never wake up enough to make it worthwhile in the morning.
Now, if I had my cell and could send myself an email...

More than 400 cities are part of the Initiative
More than 400 cities are part of the Initiative
UN-Habitat's City Prosperity Initiative (CPI) is both a metric and a policy dialogue that offers decision-makers the conditions to formulate adequate policies based on good data, information and knowledge. The CPI is a global initiative that provides an innovative approach to urban measurements and it is meant to identify opportunities and potential areas of intervention for cities to become more prosperous.
The City Prosperity Initiative collects a critical mass of information (data, indices and urban indicators) and transforms them into strategic knowledge, which serves as the basis for the formulation of urban evidence-based policies, city-visions, and long-term action plans. The objective of the CPI is to produce meaningful information at the city level, to define a limited number of actions on the basis of its diagnosis and to measure to which extent policies affect the prosperity of the city, strengthening, at the same time, the monitoring and reporting capacities of the municipal entities.
The City Prosperity Initiative enhances monitoring capacities and increases the prospects of higher accountability in the implementation of the 2030 Development Agenda as well as of the New Urban Agenda. Countries that decide to use CPI will be able to identify, quantify, evaluate, monitor and report on progress on these agendas, avoiding duplication and systematizing the monitoring and reporting process.

Because everyone loves her. Because she's so charming.
Gabourey Sidibe, the star of Precious, hit up the Me & Orson Welles afterparty last night and chatted up LipGloss Zac Efron, some Hills twats, and even the incomparable Joan Collin who seemed rather taken with her.
It's really no surprise. My colleague Ben interviewed Gabby at TIFF, said she was delightful. And if you watched her appearance on Conan it's hard to imagine many you would disagree. Try not to grin the whole way through. You'll be grinning the whole way through. Trust.
The part about meeting Oprah is adorable. And when she tells Conan about the Jello, you'll want to hug her.
So you've seen New Moon 4 times. You're about to see it for the 5th time.
Have you considered putting that off today and going for Precious instead?

Thanks Christine!

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Corey Hertzog isn't just a poacher.
At least, that's what the 22-year-old Pennsylvania native can say on Wednesday night after hitting a cracking, 35-yard effort against FC Edmonton in a 2-0 win in the second leg of the Canadian Championship semifinals.
"I usually have one a season like that," the halftime substitute told reporters at BC Place following the 5-2 aggregate victory. "So there'll probably be a lot more close ones than that – usually [I score] around the 18 [yard box]."
OPTA Chalkboard: 'Caps create plenty against overmatched Edmonton
Hertzog said he didn't see anything in particular from Edmonton's goalkeeper Lance Parker on the play, but liked the way the ball sat up after a headed pass into space from teammate Russell Teibert.
"I just figured it was taking that hop and I just hit it right off the half-volley," Hertzog said. "It was a nice shot."
This latest effort marks Hertzog's second goal in all competitions from four matches played after bagging an equalizer in Vancouver's 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on April 6.
Since then, he figured in the Whitecaps' 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake on April 13, but a concussion suffered in training after that match meant he's been twiddling his thumbs waiting for clearance to get back into the action.
Still, this latest strong performance is encouraging for a player who figured in just five games in 2011 for the New York Red Bulls before spending time on loan with the third-division Wilmington Hammerheads last year.
"The past two years have been difficult for me, just playing reserve games and that," Hertzog said. "It just feels good to finally come to a team that I can be a part of and help out win some games and score some goals, so as a forward there's nothing better than scoring some goals."
Now the challenge for Hertzog is to once again make a push for a starting MLS spot after his concussion. And given the team's rut in league play, in which the 'Caps are now winless in six and struggling in front of goal with just nine goals from eight matches, there's seemingly a window for him to walk right back into the team.
"It will give us some food for thought," head coach Martin Rennie said of Hertzog's goalscoring return. "I think the lineup on Saturday will be different to the lineup that we had tonight, but there's definitely a few things for us to think through and make decisions on.
"A couple of guys definitely did themselves justice tonight."

In Hearts Wake announces three new local gigs
In Hearts Wake have announced that they will play intimate gigs in Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, and the Sunshine Coast.
They dates will mark the end of the Duality album cycle for the band who have toured relentlessly after the dual album release.
Label mates Columbus and The Brave will be joining In Hearts Wake as they conclude the cycle for Earthwalker (2014) and Skydancer (2015).
Currently preparing themselves to share massive stages across Australia with Slipknot and Lamb of God at the end of the month, frontman Jake Taylor is looking forward to celebrating their own headline shows.
"The Duality cycle has been a dream come true for us," he said.
"We could have never predicted that 22 tracks, written and recorded in the same session, would bring us to where we are today touring with the likes of Slipknot and Lamb of God.
"We can't wait to conclude what has been such a monumental album cycle for the band.
"We are looking forward to the celebration with our friends and family over these three intimate shows.
"See you guys soon for Summer madness.
In Hearts Wake dual-album release of 2014 and 2015's Earthwalker and Skydancer was a large success.
The albums were written and recorded simultaneously in secret with Josh Schroeder in Michigan; the former was released as a feminine take on the glories of Mother Earth and bowed at #5 on the ARIA chart, while the latter was a surprise release 364 days later that paid heed to the masculine fury of Father Sky and subsequently hit #2.
Skydancer was also awarded feature album on triple j and ARIA nomination that same year.
Since Skydancer's release completed the project, the band - completed by guitarists Ben Nairne and Eaven Dall and bassist Kyle Erich - have been on the road relentlessly over the past 18 months.
A huge Australian tour with labelmates and collaborators Northlane (on the 2016 EP Equinox) preceded their critically and popularly acclaimed run from coast to coast on the entire Vans Warped Tour.
And before then, they'd racked up miles on multiple US tours and around Europe and the UK including on festivals such as Download, Warped UK, Graspop, Vainstream and Jera On Air.
Join In Hearts Wake as they close out Duality at one of the dates below.
In Hearts Wake

New York Knicks
Coach: Isiah Thomas
Starting five: PG Stephon Marbury, SG Steve Francis, SF Jared Jeffries, PF Channing Frye, C Eddy Curry
Off the bench: SG Jamal Crawford, SF Jalen Rose, SF Quentin Richardson
Most underpaid: As much as this season will be about Isiah Thomas survival, the Knicks long-term fortunes depend on Channing Fryes development. Frye was the one bright spot for one of the worst teams in history, averaging 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds as a rookie. He was on track to play in 80 games before suffering a knee injury in March that cost him the last 16 games of the season. Frye did return to play in the Las Vegas summer league. The Knicks at least can hope they have two cornerstone big men in Frye and Eddy Curry. Frye was a $5.5 million player who made $2.2 million on his rookie contract.
Most overpaid: Another season, another $150 million spent by the Knicks on the road to nowhere. That doesnt even include the final cost of Larry Browns settlement. The big question is whether Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis can coexist in the same backcourt. If their career averages are any indication, the two guards would take about 32 shots a game combined if they could. With Francis and Marbury owed a collective $108 million through 2008-09 and all but impossible to trade, Thomas has to find a way for the two to play together. He also should get Jamal Crawford some minutes, if only because the Knicks are paying him $43 million through 2010-11.
Outlook: As long as the players dont quit on Thomas the same way they did on Brown (and vice versa), the Knicks could win the 35 or so games necessary to save Thomas job. At least they wont have to pay Allan Houston any more after this season.
Orlando Magic
Coach: Brian Hill
Starting five: PG Jameer Nelson, SG J.J. Redick, SF Grant Hill, PF Dwight Howard, C Darko Milicic
Off the bench: PG Carlos Arroyo, SF Hedo Turkolgu, SF Trevor Ariza, C Tony Battie
Most underpaid: One of the overlooked individual performances last season was Dwight Howards 28-point, 26-rebound game against Philadelphia in April. In his second season out of high school, Howard averaged 15.8 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. Keep in mind he barely took 10 shots a game, left an average of three points at the foul line nightly and wont turn 21 until Dec. 8. If not for Ben Wallace, Howard would be the NBAs unquestioned best rebounder, with instincts that defy his age. He hasnt missed a game in his career and could be the NBAs breakout star this season. Howard was a $10.98 million player who made $4.5 million.
Most overpaid: This could be the end for Grant Hill, with his mega contract finally expiring after this season. Hill struggled to recover from a sports hernia last season and played in only 21 games for the Magic. That makes it 135 games played, 357 games missed since Hill came to Orlando. Once Hills contract comes off the books, however, the Magic could offer a maximum deal to bring Daytona Beachs Vince Carter back home. Hill was a $1.71 million player who made $15.7 million last season.
Outlook: If Kwame Brown could get $25 million from the Lakers, what will Darko Milicic command as a restricted free agent next summer? Thats just one question in what should be an intriguing season for the Magic, who finished only four games out of the playoffs and won 16 of their final 22 games last season.

Inle Lake, BurmaKirsty Turner
Inle Lake is a great place to relax for a few days. There is so much to do here and there are a wide range of water sports to try such as canoeing, sailing and windsailing, while swimming is a great way to keep cool on a hot day. Fishing is also a popular pastime and you can easily hire a rod and join the locals as they try to land the catch of the day.
Hiring a bicycle is a great way to explore the surrounding countryside. Make sure you stop in at the Nanthe monastery, where the meditating monks have taught their cats to jump. The area is also famous for the Intha people's unusual leg rowing skills, and you might be lucky enough to witness this as you cycle along the banks of the lake.
There are many interesting and unusual things to discover in this charming area such as the 300 year old Banyan tree with its aerial roots and wide canopy. Walk through the paddy fields and perhaps ride a water buffalo and watch the sun set over the lake.
The nearby floating market is a great place to witness traditional life and shop bargains as well as getting a tasty meal. Fresh fish is top of the menu and there are a large number of fish curries and other dishes to try. Most people tend to stay in the nearby village of Nyaugshwe, where there is a good variety of cheap guesthouses and restaurants catering to backpackers.
A great time to visit Inle Lake is between September and October when you will have the chance to witness and perhaps take part in the Phaung Daw U festival and also the Thadingyut festival. These festivals are very lively and feature much singing and dancing as well as performances of traditional folk tales.
