Really interesting porter from Spiteful here. Poured from a 22 oz bomber.
A: A dark opaque brown, this poured really nicely with about a finger of head on it. Lacing left on the glass quite nicely. A great looking porter.
S: Malt, chocolate, maybe a little citrus hoppy going on there as well?
T: Iiiiinteresting, chocolately porter with a good hit of hops going on. It's definitely lighter for a porter, somewhat refreshing.
M: Nice and light for a porter. The hops definitely crispen up what is usually a smoother style.
Really interesting to taste this much hops in a porter. Got to say it's pretty delicious though!

Served in a nonic pint glass.
Gotta have something to go with these skewers, and this one jumped out at me first. It pours a deep, dark black-brown topped by over a finger of dark khaki foam. The nose comprises roasted malts, mild coffee, a hint of dark chocolate powder, and a kiss of greenery. The taste brings in more of the same, with the greens attempting a full balance against the roast and chocolate, but not fully achieving such a status. The body is a lithe medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a drying finish. Overall, a solid porter, one that went pretty well with the salmon skewers I was eating without smothering their not-so-robust flavor. Good times.

4.03/5 rDev -0.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours with a medium to above average thickness. About three to four fingers of creamy head on the pour. Settled slightly but was very present while drinking. Pitch black appearance in the glass.
Smell: The dark simcoe hops hit right away. Sweet roasted malt and barley are present in the body. The dark fruits and malt keep coming back in waves. The hop accents in this brew is surprisingly refreshing.
Taste: Like the aroma, the hop presence hits right away. Again surprisingly floral and bright for a porter. Sugary malty body mixes very well with the hops. Waves of complexity keep coming over the palette long after drinking. The finish is on the lighter side, some syrupy malt texture stays behind.
Mouthfeel: Light but very refreshing. Some nice malt texture left behind.
Overall: A really excellent porter. Almost drinks like a black IPA, but the sweet malt accents keep it grounded as a porter. I'm usually not a huge fan of this much hop presence in a porter, but this one was very well done.

Black body, ample rising tan foam, leaves behind some spindly lace.
Roasty rich coffee aroma, nice. Possibly some unique character from the Simcoe, hard to tell.
Bitter and roasty flavors of black malt, dry coffee, nutty almond and chicory. Finish is very dry and moderately bitter, not much hop flavor just bitterness. Medium bodied and smooth. A tasty porter brewed with English Amber malt and American Simcoe hops. Well balanced and drinkable, considering the higher abv.

This upper-level undergraduate text provides an introduction to industrial organization theory along with applications and nontechnical analyses of the legal system and antitrust laws. Using the modern approach but without emphasizing the mathematical generality inherent in many of the arguments, it bridges the gap between existing nontheoretical texts written for undergraduates and highly technical texts written for graduate students. The book can also be used in masters' programs, and advanced graduate students will find it a convenient guide to modern industrial organization.

I'd argue that Skeletor was more goofy and incompetent in the Filmation cartoon.
In the NA show he was more devious and manipulative, making Flogg his puppet whilst allowing him to believe he was still the Mutants leader. He actually had some successes against the Galactic Guardians, certainly in comparison to his Eternia exploits.
But back on topic, give us NA Skeletor ASAP.
A Disks of Doom/Battle Blade variant with swappable parts would be even better.

Crooked I – L.A. Leakers Freestyle LyricsFollow
You are now tuned in, the lens zoomed in
The cameras recording, my Concord Jordans
Move from the shoes to the Trues to the Gucci belt
The COB shirt, then it move to the dude who the face of the West Coast
Let's go get 'em
Face of the West Coast
Let's go get 'em
Face of the West Coast
Let's go get 'em
Face of the West Coast
Let's go get 'em
[Verse 1]
L.A. Leakers, Justin Credible, sourMILK
Let me show you how I'm built
I started off on Bad Meets Evil on "Loud Noises"
Then I hit the B.E.T. Cypher
Had to show the world how wild them Southern Cal boys is
Had to give rappers in the underground voices
Then we dropped "The Illest," that ghetto hook with B.I
Then I had to murder the remix with Yelawolf and T.I
Slaughterhouse is hot as hell, y'all on that same ol'
But I'm like Samo, before you knew him as Jean-Michel
Basquiat; guess what I'm trying to say
Is that I'm still on the streets with it
Walking with my Ghandi gun: I'm so at peace with it
Please get it correct, Crooked's a beast with it
Flying off the turnbuckle
Have you crying "Uncle!" like you and your niece did it
Uh; show me a nigga who's sicker than incest
Beats get fucked royally like sticking a dick in a princess
Would say I'm pushing weight like a nigga who fixing to bench-press
But that shit older than Oprah, I told y'all I been fresh
Yeah, I goes off
You slept on me, niggas dozed off
I get it jumping in this bitch like a pole vault
Plus my dough talk like I'm the owner of Roc Nation cause I'm a cold boss
On the Leaker show, don't play this for seven days and watch 'em say
Shit was all good just a week ago
[Outro] (x2)
God of the West Coast
Know the flow nice
When you're signed to Shady/Aftermath
And used to be on Death Row
Edit song description to add:

Great little shelve's. SO easy to put up. Not too deep though. I put up my 4 inch potted plant's on some and, my new salt and pepper grinder's on another. They are usefull and, they look great also.
Great little shelves for the price! If you have small spaces that need a little fun, these are what you're looking for!
These shelves are great, I ordered several sets for my living room. It says not to use a drill, but we did anyway in order to get the anchors in the wall. The installation instructions aren't very good but it doesn't take a genius to figure out how to install the shelves. They're stable and look good.
You get what you pay for. I like them but not anything special.
These are so perfect for any decor. They are MUCH smaller than I had expected, but they worked perfectly on the empty wall in our bedroom. The white is a very bright white and the shelves are sturdy. Very happy with my purchase and will probably by more!
Although the shelves are lovely, they are extremely difficult (close to impossible) to mount. The mounting devices fall into the wall when we tried to put the shelves up. This is totally unacceptable. If my husband was not as handy as he is, I would have sent it all back. He had to improvise a hanging system to get the shelves on the wall.
Hi. I purchased these shelves for my daughter's room and have been very happy. They were easy to install (thanks to a handy measuring 'tape' included with the directions) and have held up well. Definitely a good buy.
These are perfect to store and display my face cream and makeup brushes (in attractive glass containers) on the wall in a bathroom with no medicine cabinet. Not very wide, so I couldn't fit my orchid plant so I had to figure out something else for that, but otherwise a great solution!
Easy to fix, looks much more expensive than the price & good quality too.
Great product. Priced accurate and performs as advertised.

Reading Guides
The Death Instinct
Jed Rubenfeld
add to cart
Read more...
Based on a true and shocking eventthe bombing of lower Manhattan in September 1920Jed Rubenfeld weaves a twisting and thrilling work of fiction about a physician, a female radiochemist, and a police official who come to believe that the inexplicable attack is part of a larger plan. It's a conspiracy that takes them from New York to Paris to Prague, from the Vienna home of Sigmund Freud to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., and ultimately to the depths of our most savage human instincts where a shocking truth lies behind that fateful day.
Jed Rubenfeld is also the author of the international bestseller The Interpretation of Murder. A professor at Yale University Law School, he is one of the country's foremost experts on constitutional law. He wrote his undergraduate thesis at Princeton University on Sigmund Freud. Rubenfeld lives in Connecticut with his family.
- The September 16, 1920, explosion on Wall Street is to this day an unsolved incident. Discuss the explosion, the book's explanation for the event, and its resonance and parallelsboth actual and fictionalizedwith the events of September 11, 2001.
- We meet Colette in the midst of war. What are your initial reactions to her? Discuss what makes her sympathetic/unsympathetic at the novel's outset. Do your feelings about her change through the course of the novel?
- Sigmund Freud and Detective Littlemore both comment to Younger that he is in love with Colette. What evidence were you given early on that he loves her? How do you think his romantic and psychological histories manifest themselves in his behavior towards her?
- Collette's plan to see Hans Gruber holds her focus for much of the novel. Discuss what you feel are the reasons Colette is ultimately unable to act as she has planned. Do you agree with Dr. Freud on this matter? Why or why not?
- In the meeting with Gruber, Younger essentially stands in for Colette. Discuss how you feel about Younger's actions. Do you feel they were fully justified? How does what you know of his experiences make this scene understandable, or is it not? How would you feel if this were real life, and the scene played out in front of you?
- Author Jed Rubenfeld entwines real life events and historic figures with the novel's cast of fictional characters. Discuss the surprising facts you learned about:
Marie Curie and radium
Sigmund Freud
World War I
The 1920 bombing on Wall Street
- Younger fought in World War I; Detective Littlemore did not. Discuss how this might affect their particular means of dealing with their respective "investigations" and the actions they take.
- Discuss Younger's feelings about the women in his lifehis attraction to his psychoanalytic patients, Nora's jealousy and their ensuing fights, and Nora's suicide, the death of the unborn child, and how he claims to feel about it. How do these admissions make you feel about Younger? Discuss whether or not you feel his explanations are further illuminated at any point in the narrative.
- As the owner of the company that makes watches with radium dials, Brighton throws money at people for every inconvenience. Younger, too, shells out money to people for their trouble. Discuss whether or not you see fundamental differences in their actions and motivations.
- As a representative of corporate America in the novel, Brighton seems at first to be buffoonish and forgetful; then, as his business dealings are discovered, he becomes a malevolent force. How can his coverups be related to news today? What do you think Freud would say about him?
- The twin forces of death and love are major themes in the novel. Discuss how these forces exist in Younger and which instinct, if either, is stronger.
- By the conclusion of the novel, we see the themes of "the death instinct" play out in the lives of many of the characters. Discuss how you think it applies in the lives of Detective Littlemore, Luc Rousseau, Sigmund Freud, and Brighton.
- Wall Street has become the target of civilian protests and an occupationturnednational protest. Compare the events of Rubenfeld's book with those of modern times.

What have I gotten myself into?
That was the question that ran through my brain on an unending loop during my time with Street Fighter III Third Strike: Online edition. If there is a more hardcore fighting game than Street Fighter, I don't know about it.
What have I gotten myself into?
As I suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of opponents that seemed to be made out of a liquid from which kicks and punches flowed, the question running through my head only got louder.
What have I gotten myself into?!
Clearly overmatched, I went to training mode. Street Fighter III Third Strike: Online Edition is no button masher, I realized. Simply hammering punches and kicks wouldn't do anything other than hasten my death.
Even the damned training mode seemed too much for me. The simplest combo was out of my reach, and the only thing that saved me from a messy death was that the enemies didn't fight back. I could kick them and punch them, jump around like a lunatic, and stand there, but none of
prepared me for the digital beatings I was suffering.
So let's find out what I've gotten myself into.
There is no more beloved fighter than Street Fighter. Some might be more technically proficient, offer up real fighting styles, or pour on more gore, but none seems to be looked upon with such joy, especially when a new offering is in the works. Tracing its roots back to the stuffy arcades of old, it holds a special place in many an older gamer's heart. Names like Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, M. Bison, and Hadouken (not even a character, but a move) are fixtures in the collective unconscious of everyone who has ever sat down with a controller in their hand and called themselves a gamer. Even those who aren't fans of the series could tell you what game those names are from with nary a second to think.
Street Fighter III Third Strike: Online Edition is a modern update of 1999's Street Fighter III: Third Strike. It is modern in timeline only, however, because every inch of it screams THE 90'S, from the ugly 2D digital sprites, and meaningless pumping soundtrack, to the straight-from-a-20-year-old-arcade-cabinet voices echoing at me. However, it also revives all the old move sets, and characters that fans know and love. Whether or not those are good or bad traits is entirely up to the player. And therein lies my biggest problem with the game: It was never intended to be played by someone like me, and as such, was about as welcoming as a burning building filled with undead wolverines.
I cannot imagine this game appealing to anyone but the most hardcore of old school Street Fighter 3 fans, and that's a shame because I wanted it to bring me in to its little clique. I would have loved nothing more than to suddenly be awakened to the fact that there was a wonderful, and heretofore un-experienced, game franchise out there that I've overlooked for my entire career as a gamer. However, in all fairness, I would say that of all the entertainment mediums, gaming is by far the least n00b friendly save for comic books and their oftentimes labyrinthine continuity. With books, movies, and television shows, you simply have make the effort to consume them and let the potential appreciation spring forth organically - you either like it or you don't. In gaming, however, there is another barrier: The controls.
Of the three main gameplay modes, the so-called Trials Mode is what I spent most of my time in. Trials Mode is essentially advanced training. It attempts to teach you basic moves like blocks and parries, but also, interestingly enough, the main combos for all the character. What a good idea that is. Too bad I never got that far. The hardest part of combo-based melee games of all types, be they fighting games, or brawlers, is learning the combos quickly and being able to pull them off smoothly from memory. Street Fighter III Third Strike: Online Edition failed me in that most basic of qualities, because the combos are ******* hard, poorly explained, and awkward to access. During training mode, accessing your characters move list requires pausing the game, selecting "move list", then selecting the character whose move list you want to see. Then, once you do that, you're presented with esoteric symbols rather than anything that might make sense to someone else besides a die-hard Street Fighter fan. Once you pick a move to try, you have to back out of all those menus to get back to training and by then you've forgotten the control inputs because they're not presented sensibly. It's like trying to memorize Egyptian hieroglyphics while doing calculus, while not knowing much about either. I know part of that has to do with the fully-configurable controls, but still, terms like "short," "long", and "fierce" in the place of more conventional directions just adds another layer of unfamiliarity to already fairly alien set of instruction, and the pictures of fists and feet in the place of "kick" and "punch" don't really help either. I was all just too much for me to remember. Trials Mode is a little better than training mode because you don't have to select a character before you can see their move list, but two menus instead of three is still two too many if you ask me.
It wasn't all bad however. Playing against another human as poorly versed in the arcane witchcraft of Street Fighter improves the experience considerably. The controls are tight and fluid once you begin to decipher them, so I'm sure the well-versed player will find everything up to snuff on the control front. And really, what aspect of a fighting game is more important than the controls? Graphics, sound, and character design don't mean squat if you can't pull off the simplest combo because the controls don't work.
The other major mode is the Arcade mode. Here, you pick a fighter and participate in a fighting game standard ladder tournament that sees you climbing your way to the top, facing increasingly tougher opponents the higher you get. It's nothing anyone who's ever played a fighting game hasn't seen before, but in a game like Street Fighter III Third Strike: Online Edition, innovation isn't exactly the order of the day. There are also challenges to complete that award you with "VP" which are used to unlock items in the Vault - artwork, music tracks, and the like. These challenges are a bit like a second set of achievements except there are many more than the 20 standard achievements you get in a downloadable game. And of course, it comes with a full suite of online modes like Ranked Match, Player Match, and Tournament. Again, everything one would expect from this kind of game.
Finally, the game makes extensive use of virtual dipswitches that allow you to tailor your gameplay experience in myriad ways. However, only about 2/3rds of them are unlocked from the start. The rest you can either unlock via game progression or, and this will anger certain gamers greatly, purchase a DLC pack that unlocks the rest of them in one fell swoop. Cue indignant rant here.

Comments On May 22, 2009:I purchased thinking they would be superior to Hot Cams, but when I compared them to individual Hot Cam shims I have purchased in the past, the Hot Cams appear to be a finer fabication. I'm sure they will work fine, but disappointed in appearance of quality.

Comments On Feb 27, 2009:I have to tell everyone, my hat really goes off to Rocky Mountain ATV*MC. This is the third product I have purchased from them, and as always, perfect!! These shims come in two separate cases and are clearly marked on each shim and the bottom of each tray that they are in. When Rocky Mountain ATV*MC states that the product is in stock and they say it will ship the same day, they really mean it!! It was suppose to take 48 hours on my delivery by way of UPS and air freight but instead only took 42 hours. I was able to install my new shims on my benchmark 2007 YZ 250 FW Motocross bike and ride the whole rest of the day!! The extra money for shipping is an afterthought compared to waiting for two weeks with other distributors. Thanks again Rocky Mountain ATV*MC!!!

I almost bought an expensive bag from LLBean just because of the name, and then saw one at work and realized the handle would be too short for me. I am 5'9 and have to bend over the wheel things around when I wear heels. The reviews on this bag made me hopeful and it's everything the description says and more. I absolutely love it! No more back pain from a heavy backpack! The handle is long enough, it's roomy enough to hold my lunch, laptop and work documents, and my exercise clothes and makeup with ease. I love this bag! It's a fantastic deal for the price.
S/H (via UPS Ground) took 10 days for product to arrive (CA to Middle GA). Rolling Backpack arrived in good condition - though in person, the pack looks a little bigger than the picture. I have used the bag on one trip and the backpack does everything I was hoping for: ample pockets including two outside mesh pockets to hold for instance bottled water. Pack rolls OK, and the back pack straps are comfortable - no complaints. Though I didn't specifically buy to lug a laptop, this backpack can easily accommodate a 17 inch lap top (though you will want to purchase a separate lap top protective sleeve. As pictured, the backpack straps easily zips into it's own little shelter, so that the straps are out of the way while using the bag as a roller. Overall, a very solid rolling backpack for the price paid. I would definitely purchase again, and I would recommend to fellow shoppers looking for such a bag.
At first the bag seemed a bit large but it grows on you. The bag has a zipped area to expand if you plan to carry around more stuff. I am happy with all the compartments and the rugged design of the bag and wheels. It is tough enough to handle the wear and tear of an 8 year old! The bag doesn't make noise, the zippers are easy, the pockets and seam are well put together and the bag overall is very sturdy. The bag is also well balanced meaning that when you park it it doesn't fall over. It is easy to roll around and the extension bar is sturdy. The bag has straps tucked away so you can carry it as a backpack - but it so much easier to roll it around. Very happy with this bag!!!
Since my purchase, I have had this rolling laptop for about 2weeks.Just had to indure snow, sleet and rain.Handle has held up to constant up and down,(due to stairs). Wheels roll across all terain very ea sily and smoothly.Carrying a binder, a laptop,2 phones,2 water bottles(one filled),and personal items inside the bag, mind you I have a lower back injury, I have found that I can still lift the bag by it's strap without hesitation or strain.At this point of my life, I am very content with my purchase.
My 4th grader asked for a rolling backpack because his books, lunch, binder, etc were just too bulky for his "regular" backpack. This rolling backpack fit the bill perfectly. There is plenty of room for all the items he needs to bring back and forth each day. As a few others reviewers noted, it is slightly on the heavy side even before it is filled with books. However, the inline skate-type wheels seem to manage this with no problem. The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is because it has a funky smell which I usually associate with lesser quality items. So far, the quality is above what I expected for the great price. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.
I needed a new backpack after my messenger bag messed up my shoulder. It was recommended to me to start using a rolling backpack, considering of all the textbooks and materials I tend to lug around on a daily basis. Being 5'8", the handle on this backpack is perfect (in fact, it's too big! I have to keep it a click or two lower when I pull it out for it to be comfortable when I'm walking around). My laptop fits perfectly while still in its sleeve, as well as all of my school supplies. Just the other day I was carrying 4 textbooks, a binder, a couple of notebooks, my personal items (of which are maaany), and my laptop, and I still managed to fit a carry-out box filled with food- and still had wiggle room! I was a bit scared due to the price, but it was a very good investment! It's certainly made things easier for me on campus.
Was perfect for carrying my 17" laptop safely on the airplane!!!! Loved all the compartments, and it is made very strong!! Would recommend this to anyone with a 17" laptop---has a soft envelope and zipper to secure it!!! I looked everywhere and Overstock is where I found it!!!
This convertible, sturdy design and construction of my original bag prompted this replacement purchase. This bag is only slightly different from my original bag; the new pocket placement on the interior of the bag causes a problem when zipping the bag closed. I cannot give a fair assessment until I have put the "new bag" to the true test - - three months with traveling, photo-shoots and a few movie sets. I will provide a more informed review then.
This was even better than we expected. We had plenty of room for the lab top *plus it has a bar stand you can pull out from the bottom pulls forward to help the backpack stand up and hold the weight of everything without falling over :-)
This rolling backpack is perfect for us. Excellent quality and we have already used it on several short trips. This backpack is perfect for a plane trip or going to a local festival or picnic. The zippers are very sturdy. The little kickstand on the bottom is a bonus so that the backpack never falls over.

Sorensen: Festival perfect time for the community to show local pride by David Lias Bonnie Sorensen, manager of the Vermillion Area Chamber of Commerce, said this weekend�s Old-Time Fiddle Contest and Jamboree, scheduled to be held in Vermillion, is about more than music, entertainment and fellowship.
It�s about a host of things important to Vermillion � from raising funds to help decorate city streets for the holidays, to participating in a unique opportunity to show off local hospitality to visitors who come to Vermillion from all over the Midwest.
�We will be sending Chamber volunteers to act as good will ambassadors at the festival,� Sorensen said, �for both the audience and the contestants.�
The Chamber of Commerce AutumnFest Committee will also be holding its annual fund-raising supper on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 4:30-7 pm, out of doors on the lawn between Old Main and Slagle Hall on the USD campus.
Jamboree participants and audience members may enjoy a BBQ sandwich, baked beans, coleslaw, dessert, and beverage. The price of the meals will be $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.
�This will be a fund-raiser for us,� Sorensen said, �with the proceeds going to the Christmas decorating project begun last year.�
America�s Shrine to Music Museum, in collaboration with First Dakota National Bank, Vermillion Area Chamber of Commerce, and USD, will host the Fiddle Contest in Slagle Auditorium.
This weekend will mark the second year that fiddle contest and jamboree has been held at the USD campus.
�Our goal is to be there to help people who may have any questions,� Sorensen said. �The festival is such a wonderful event for us to be the host city for. We want to show good hospitality to our visitors.�
Sorensen added that some of those visitors may attend Saturday�s Coyote football game.
The contest was founded in Yankton in 1973 by Wilbur Foss, a fourth-generation fiddle player, and his wife, Elizabeth, after attending the National Old-Time Fiddle Contest in Idaho. Under their leadership, the South Dakota contest has developed a national reputation. The Shrine to Music Museum hosted the event for the first time in 1998.
For the 27th year, old-time fiddlers and accordion players will come together from a dozen states or more.
They will bring their back-up guitarists and pianists for a weekend of competition.
Sorensen is excited about some other unique activities planned by the Vermillion and the university to make the fiddle contestants, and those who come here to listen to the musicians, feel at home.
�The university is allowing old time fiddlers to camp overnight on campus,� Sorensen said.
She added that Old Main on the university campus will be open all through each night of the jamboree.
�That will allow the fiddlers to come together after the competition ends each day and just simply perform together for the fun of it,� Sorensen said.
The Chamber�s presence at the festival won�t end after Saturday�s AutumnFest BBQ.
�Sunday morning, there will be a gospel sing at the festival, and we will be there, serving coffee and sweets and collecting a free will offering,� she said.

The American West
Here, now, is The American West, a brilliant account of America's most famous drama. By centering solely on three subjects, Native Americans, settlers, and ranchers, Brown effortlessly re-creates these groups' struggles for their place in this new landscape and illuminates the history of the old West. Beginning with the demise of the Native Americans of the Plains, Brown depicts the onrush of the burgeoning cattle trade and the waves of immigrants who ultimately "settled" the land. In the retelling of this oft-told saga, Brown has demonstrated once again his abilities as a master storyteller and an entertaining popular historian.
By turns heroic, tragic, and even humorous, The American West brings to life American tragedy and triumph in the years from 1840 to the turn of the century, and a roster of characters both great and small: Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Dull Knife, Crazy Horse, Captain Jack, John H. Tunstall, Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, Wyatt Earp, the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, Wild Bill Hickok, Charles Goodnight, Oliver Loving, Buffalo Bill, and many others.
The American West is about cattle and the railroads; it is about settlers who came to claim a land not originally their own and how they slowly imposed law and order on these wild and untamed places; and it is about the wanton destruction of the Native American way of life. This is epic history at its best and popular history at its most readable.
This new work is culled from Dee Brown's highly acclaimed writings, which instantly established him as one of America's foremost Western authorities. Fully revised, rewritten, and edited into one seamless account of America's most famous frontier, this epic narrative, along with the introduction and a chronological table of events, etches an unforgettable and poignant portrait. The American West is at once a tribute to the West and a majestic new peak for a writer whose long and successful career has been synonymous with excellence in frontier history.

Westward March
"Thare is good land on the Massura for a poar mans home."
This theme, penned in an 1838 letter from Arkansas to Tennessee, appears with its variations as the moving spirit of western migration. The frontiersman who scrawled out the good news from the banks of the White River probably had no conception of the wide reach of land between his few acres and the Pacific shore. He dreamed no dream of empire. His eye was on the good land he had found, where a "poar man" could prosper.
To settlers on the bottom lands of the great midwestern rivers and on the forested fringes of the Great Plains,... see more

It was inevitable. Working with bees I had to be stung sooner or later. I've been kind of dreading it, but I thought it was more the anticipation of the sting as opposed to the sting itself. I learned many lessons today, one being that the anticipation of the sting is not worse that the sting itself. The sting HURTS.
One week, I'm hand feeding my bees. The next week, they're stinging me. Women!
So, we have this madcap plan to rid Mr. Neil's woods of invasive exotic plants like buckthorn and garlic mustard and replace it with (mostly) native or at least bird and bee friendly plants. This is a long term project, but the buckthorn must be taken away–more on this later. Today we began the plan by trying to get some bulbs in the ground that will pop up in early spring to aid the bees with pollen and nectar gathering. We got some daffodil, hyacinth, and crocus bulbs on sale and started putting them around the gardens. I had the brilliant idea of planting the bulbs near some of the hives. This wasn't too crazy of an idea, earlier this week I planted some bee friendly trees (red osier dogwood, lilac, and pussy willow). The cool weather has slowed them down a bit, and as along as I kept a good ten feet from the hives, they were okay with our digging.
I had been out the hives earlier today–that's where most of these photos came from. I was feeding Kitty and just checking on Olga. For some reason, the bees were really interested in crawling all over my suit. I thought I must have spilled some home made nectar on my bee suit, but in hindsight, I wondering if they had it in for me from the get go? Especially that one on the far left in the above photo. This little pack of Olga bees looks like they are plotting against. But that one on the end, she has it in for me, she wants to do the stingin'.
I went out with Cabal and began planting my bulbs. It was later in the afternoon and the foraging bees were heading back to the hive. I noticed that I was working under the bee super highway, the spot where bees from both hives descend in the area and then split to go to their respective hives. I figured that if I kept bent over and low to the ground, all should go well and it did.
Then my cell phone rang, it was my sister Terri. I told her that I was standing between the hives, she was honored. I told her that I was sans bee suit and she was really impressed. I continued planting bulbs while on the phone. We caught up and then I noticed Lorraine approaching the bee area. I hung up from my sister and Lorraine paused before coming closer. "Wow, there are a lot of bees." She noted.
I looked over to the Olga hive. In the time I was on the phone with my sister, hundreds of bees had descended on the entrance of the Olga hive. In the instant that I thought I should maybe leave, I felt a prick on my head, just behind my ear, but well into my hair. I realized that I was being stung. It didn't hurt that much in the first instant and I wondered if I really had been stung or if it was a mosquito. Then I heard angry buzzing. Then I felt tremendous pain.
"I've been stung!" I shouted. Lorraine and Cabal looked as though they were about to bolt. "Ow! It's still in my hair! Ow!"
It was still in my hair and I wondered if I was far enough from the hive to avoid attracting the other bees attention? Would they smell the attack pheromone from her sting and come join the party? I couldn't see where I was stung, but I tried to get the bee out, by flicking fingers near the epicenter of the pain. They dying bee buzzed harder and that sent me into a panic and flight mode and I ran towards Lorraine. I'm not sure if when I reached her I tripped and fell or if some twisted response of stop, drop and roll came into play, but I was on the ground thrashing, yelling all the while, "It's still in my hair! I can hear it!"
Lorraine who is at best on uncertain terms with bees to begin with, tried to look at my hair, but my trashing on the ground was making it difficult. I think I had a fear that the bee would get loose from her stinger and get in my ear. I plugged my ear with my finger and rolled over to the other side, giving Lorraine a view of the stung side of my head. Lorraine started stomping on my ponytail. "It's still there!"
It was at this point that Cabal sensed something was amiss and wanted to help. He sensed our panic as I was writhing and squealing on the ground and Lorraine was jumping up and down desperately trying to get a bee out of my hair without actually having to touch it. Cabal wanted to help too, but what could a mere dog do? He barked and whimpered and then began digging at my clothes.
It was at this point I realized the ridiculousness of the situation and just started laughing. Lorraine pulled out the binder holding my ponytail and frantically kept searching for the bee. I could hear more buzzing from my unplugged ear. Every time she would find it, the bee would slip deeper into my hair. It didn't help that the bee was the same color as my hair. Finally, she got it out and then said, "Ah, it's flying at me!"
"That's not the same bee," I warned, "They die after they sting you! That's a different bee!"
She ran. Cabal ran. I ran. We made it to the four runner, but the bees were still chasing us. We took off down the field. We made it a safe distance away, I looked down to my feet and realized I had kicked off my shoes and was barefoot.
"We have to get back to the four runner." Lorraine said nervously, noting how close it was parked to the hives.
"I have to go back to get my shoes and all the planting tools I left behind." I noted.
We got the stuff and headed back to the house. Lorraine asked how my head was. For a moment it would have a warm, almost pleasant sensation, then would come searing pain and then it would go back to a warm sensation again. When we got to the house, Lorraine had to go through my hair to find the sting. She asked where it hurt and the area was getting wider. It didn't help that I have really thick hair to sift through. After some searching, she located the stinger and pulled it out, the waves of throbbing pain ended and I could feel the side of my head and ear swelling slightly. We were both nauseous and had some mint tea to soothe ourselves.
I hope no one in a nearby farm house was watching us from afar.
Ah, dignity, it's sometimes overrated.

Gun Control and the Mentally Ill
The extent and manner of the government's prerogative to regulate guns and gun ownership is a debate that isn't going away any time soon and how to do so with respect for the mentally ill among us is a crucial component of that debate. Law enforcement...
Finding accord among the many and varied people and interests with a stake in our ongoing national debate over guns and gun legislation sometimes feels impossible, especially in our culture of sharply divided partisanship, rhetorical hyperbole, and compromise-averse lawmakers and constituencies. The Sandy Hook Elementary massacre, the catalyst that most recently caused the gun control question – always more or less simmering beneath the crust of the political landscape – to boil over and become possibly the most hotly debated topic both on Capitol Hill and among the some 170,000,000 of the nation's foremost internet-based constitutional scholars, demands definitive answers.
"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
We all know the words that make up this single, but debatably not-really-all-that simple, sentence. What they mean, however, few of us, it seems, can ever really agree upon. While Second Amendment scholars, politicians, and judges debate historical context, the framer's intent, and even the placement of commas and their consequence (the version above is that approved by Congress; a slightly different rendition ratified by the states and authenticated by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, reads "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"), I've always felt the central debate centers on the question of, "What did they mean by 'well-regulated'? What can, or should, we regulate with regard to firearms and their ownership, and how do we go about it in a way that respects the fundamental right 'of the people to keep and bear arms" while protecting society from those who cannot be trusted to bear them responsibly?" Those questions of regulation are at the center of the most current debate.
That there are some people who should not, because of current or past criminal behavior, or that they are so afflicted by serious mental illness that precludes responsible gun ownership, be extended the gun rights given healthier or more responsible citizens is not widely disputed. An overwhelming majority of citizens - some studies indicate up to 90% - including gun owners and some gun rights advocates support background checks of prospective gun buyers/owners (exactly what these checks should constitute, or whether existing models should be expanded, remains hotly contested). A recent Pew Research Center poll found about 85% of Americans supported expanding the current background check system to include gun show and private owner-to-owner sales. A February survey conducted by Quinnipiac University revealed even broader support: 92% of respondents favored background checks for all sales, and that support only dipped by one percentage point when the results for firearm owners were tabulated. Now, it is also important to point out that, despite increased support for stricter background checks and strong enforcement of current or future gun laws, support for the Second Amendment remains strong, with around 70% or more of poll respondents consistently expressing support.
Clearly, in the minds of most Americans, support for the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is absolutely compatible with a desire for strong regulations not only on their use but on who gets to have them. You may or may not agree, but this is the political landscape in which the current debate is being waged, and will likely dictate its eventual outcome.
But when is someone "too mentally ill to have a gun?"
Their names and crimes lend them infamy:
Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook Elementary);
Wade Michael Page (Oak Creek, WI Sikh Temple);
James Holmes (Aurora, CO);
Jared Loughner (Tucson, AZ);
Steven Kazmierczak (Northern Illinois University);
Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech).

Spirit of Anniston board member Gayle Macolly said Executive Director Dianna Michaels, stopped working Monday after she and the organization agreed to "separate." Spirit of Anniston, which is financed by the city, hired Michaels in April. The city appropriated $179,000 to the nonprofit in its 2014 budget.
"She is no longer our executive director," Macolly said. "We have agreed to separate right now."
Macolly would not provide further details, such as whether Michaels resigned or was fired, saying the contract between the Spirit of Anniston and Michaels included a confidentiality agreement. She also would not say why Michaels no longer worked for the nonprofit.
"We just decided to go our separate pathways, and we're just deciding how to do that separation," Macolly said.
Attempts Wednesday to reach Michaels for comment were unsuccessful.
Michaels, a former television news anchor and reporter with WJSU-TV40, WBRC Channel 6 in Birmingham and WEAC-TV24, was hired after Spirit of Anniston fired its previous executive director, Betsy Bean, who had headed the organization for seven years.
Macolly said the Spirit of Anniston board likely will begin a search for a new executive director within two weeks. Meanwhile, Spirit of Anniston office manager Charity Duncan will act as interim executive director, Macolly said.
"She's been with us for over five years and she was interim executive director in between Betsy and Dianna," Macolly said.
Mayor Vaughn Stewart said he had heard about the Spirit of Anniston's decision but did not know the particulars of the situation.
"You always regret this for an individual but at the same time, I respect the board's position," Stewart said. "As a separate entity ... we don't get involved with their internal workings ... I do not want to be looking over anyone's shoulders when it comes to these nonprofits."
Councilman Jay Jenkins said Wednesday that he had not heard about Michaels' departure, but supported the organization.
"I have a lot of faith in the Spirit board — it's a good group of folks that have the good of Anniston at heart," Jenkins said. "I think they'll move forward and do good things."
Macolly said the shift in leadership will not impact the Spirit of Anniston's efforts.
"Our board is a working board, so we're not anticipating a major impact," she said.
Stewart said the Spirit of Anniston is a vital part of the council's efforts to revitalize the downtown area.
"It's a huge partner, especially with the emphasis of downtown redevelopment that this council has made," Stewart said. "I have a lot of faith in that board and think it'll be able to carry on."
Jenkins agreed on Spirit of Anniston's importance to the city.
"I feel like they're an integral piece of any downtown growth," Jenkins said.

In the past few years, there have been several popular YA book series turned into tv shows. Often when things are adapted for television (or movie), they get cut up, changed, edited, and patched back together to fit "the industry's" vision of what the public wants. Sometimes it's good, sometimes bad. I'm curious, what do you all think? Are you reading and/or watching these books & shows? Here are some of them:
I've watched a few of the Gossip Girl episodes, and read several of the books – the Library owns all of them, so go ahead and place a hold if you want to check them out. I thought casting overall was decent, although I was horrified by the casting of Jenny (her defining attribute, which drove the plot in several of the books is her … um… generous chest, which is nonexistent in the show). Also, I didn't like them changing the character of Serena's brother. Oh well.
The Vampire Diaries books originally came out in 1995. They were pretty much out of print and forgotten until the TV show came out in 2009. Now the books are all reissued and spiffed up, with a brand-new sequel just out. Ian Somerhalder seems a bit old to me, to play Damon (I can deal with 25-year-olds playing high school students, but 35?). Also, the actress who plays Elena is a bit too likable for my tastes — one of the things I liked about the books is how nasty she is. Otherwise, I think the show is a decent adaptation. Too bad it will have to fight off comparisons to Twilight and True Blood.
This series is different in that it is actually a web series, playing on the internet and not airing on broadcast television. The book series debuted in 2006, and the web series in 2009 (DVD just released in August, and we should have it in the SCL collection soon!). In an interesting twist, the producers conducted an American-Idol-style casting competition, with the top contenders for the role of Kiran competing in a televised reality-TV-style contest. I haven't seen this one at all, so you'll have to let me know if the best person won.
This one is a newcomer to the TV show block — it's still in the midst of its first season, and not coming out on DVD until next year. The books first started coming out in 2006, and are still going strong. The story of the missing/ presumed dead girl who comes back to haunt her guilty friends has been done many times before, but this series actually does a good job of keeping you on your toes. I've only seen the pilot of the TV show, and it seemed like the character development and casting did justice to the books.
So, are there any other recent TV shows based on YA books that I am missing? Let me know, so I can add them to my read and watch lists!

Everything was recovered
I own a website where others are able to sell their items 24 hours a day. When we were upgrading and doing maintenance on the server, the server crashed. After an hour or more of trying to get it up and running, we called in the big guns to work on it. Secure Data Recovery Services stepped in and did an amazing job with our Server Data recovery. We were back in business in just under 2 hours with all the upgrades and bigger and better features. This outstanding company arrived when we needed them and exhibited phenomenal know-how and optimized and enhanced the quality of our server. Thank you for being in a close vicinity to us and I highly recommend your services! You rescued us from calamity.
Excellent results!
Two years ago I purchase a RAID server system due to the fault tolerant. Grinding noises were coming from the server and then it crashed. We hired Secure Data Recovery Services to do a RAID Recovery. One of the hard drives broke and Secure Data Recovery Services repaired the system and replaced the broken drive and put our data back on it. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish with excellent results. Thank you
I searched for who was the best in Mac data recovery for my iPhone 4 after my daughter took my phone outside and was playing in the dirt with it. By the time I noticed my phone was missing, it was just filthy. I dropped it off at Secure Data Recovery Services and opted for their emergency services. Secure Data Recovery Services fixed my phone in less than 2 hours and nothing was lost! The charge was inexpensive and the service was phenomenal. I now have a clip on the back of the phone to hook to my pants! LOL
A Server data recovery can be very difficult to achieve a high success rate. I am a computer repair technician myself and called in Secure Data Recovery Services to help with the server recovery. Their highly trained engineers re-imaged the data onto a new drive after the old drive broke. I needed this A.S.A.P. for a company I do a lot of work for. I opted for the Emergency services by expert technicians. The server was up and running smoothly in fewer than 3 hours. Their knowledgeable staff is always there when I need them and have helped me many times before. Secure Data Recovery Services is worth every cent and reasonably priced and fast.
Their expertise was outstanding – I often will do my work outside on the patio and leave it open and go back and forth to it. A couple of weeks ago I needed a Mac data recovery due to my youngster putting his bubble gum on my Apple laptop keys which melted everywhere from the sun. I could not get it off and didn't want to make it worse and I was just stumped how to remove it. I contacted Secure Data Recovery Services and dropped it off to their facility. Just a couple of hours later it was ready for pickup. The cost was minimal, their staff was very friendly and their expertise was outstanding. I was very impressed and the experience was pleasurable. No more gum for my 4 year old! LOL
I wil use them for all my pc issues – I sometimes think I can fix anything, so I took the hard drive out of my desktop pc and played around with it. When I put it back in it sounded awful! I shut it down and called Secure Data Recovery Services. I sent it out to them and they did a hard drive recovery and I got it back in one week! I broke it and they fixed it and put my stuff on a new hard drive. What was shocking was the cost! I will now use them for all my pc issues and not try to fix it myself. Thank you again.
My iPad somehow got a virus and my icons and documents were disappearing. Secure Data Recovery Services did a Mac data recovery on it and eliminated the nasty eating viruses and everything reappeared and worked like a charm. They were quick, reasonable and their technicians were just extraordinary! I never thought that an iPad could have anything go wrong with it and get a virus. I was definitely wrong in that sense. Secure Data Recovery Services added a program to keep my iPad safe and sound and their services were phenomenal in every way. Thank you for being experts with Apple devices.
I wanted to send you a letter of gratitude. I used your services a few weeks ago to do a RAID 5 Data Recovery when 2 drives died. Your team of highly qualified technicians and engineers not only fixed the problems, moved the data onto new drives, but it now performs better than ever. I will recommend your services to everyone I know and will use you again. I am very grateful and impressed and I thank you.
Using invasive recovery techniques, Secured Data Recovery Services located my files and pictures. Their flash memory recovery gave me back the information I desperately needed to complete a job for a client. I don't know how they did it, but they did it which made my life much easier and relieved the stress of redoing everything I had already done. I give you guys' two thumbs up and I thank you and I am very grateful. It is nice to know I can count on you to get the job done fast.
SQL server I thought was the best. I used it for years and then major errors kept developing. I called Secured Data Recovery Services and they performed a SQL data recovery extremely quickly. No data was lost and life is back to normal. Terrific job.

Safety Gibril Wilson returns to practiceby
All present and accounted for at today's afternoon practice.
Linebacker Matt Roth didn't practice, but free safety Gibril Wilson was back in action.
Wilson did not attend the morning session because he had to take care of a personal matter.
I incorrectly reported he would not be back tomorrow, but the source of the information was not aware the Dolphins had a second practice as the team ended two-a-days today.

Nagoya, Ise-Shima, and the Kii Peninsula: Places to Explore

In 1612, shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa established Nagoya by permitting his ninth son to build a castle here. Industry and merchant houses sprang up in the shadow of this magnificent fortress, as did pleasure quarters for samurai. Supported by taxing the rich harvests of the surrounding Nobi plain, the Tokugawa family used the castle as its power center for the next 250 years.
After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when Japan began trade with the West in earnest, Nagoya developed rapidly. When the harbor opened to international shipping in 1907, Nagoya's industrial growth accelerated, and by the 1930s it was supporting Japanese expansionism in China with munitions and aircraft. This choice of industry was Nagoya's downfall; very little of the city was left standing after World War II.
Less than two months after the war, ambitious and extensive reconstruction plans were laid, and Nagoya began its remarkable comeback as an industrial metropolis. Planners laid down a grid system, with wide avenues intersecting at right angles. Hisaya-odori, a broad avenue with a park in its 328-foot-wide median, bisects the city. At Nagoya's center is an imposing 590-foot-high television tower (useful for getting your bearings). Nagoya-jo is north of the tower, Atsuta Jingu to the south, Higashiyama-koen east, and the JR Station west. The Sakae subway station serves as the center of the downtown commercial area. Today Nagoya is home to 2.3 million people living in a 510-square-km (197-square-mile) area.

Varied Sand Chairs - Types and Uses
What makes any ordinary chair different from a special beach chair? Well, a chair especially made to be used at the beach is all the more portable, light weight and comfortable. Sand chairs are relaxing beach loungers made from aluminum and hardwood. Aluminum prevents rusting and hardwood armrests provide robust support. The seating fabric is anything comfortable and easy on the body flesh.
Sand chairs may be high seat or low lying, depending on what a person chooses the furniture to be, although most people prefer a low lying beach chair over a high one. Most of them are folding and multiple positions adjustable. All sand chairs are made with the thought that these are to be placed along the beach and hence they will have to brave different weather phenomenon. That is to say that these chairs are tailor-made to suit the sea-shore or beach characteristics. These chairs therefore are hard-wearing and long-lasting.
Sand chairs have many siblings in the form of sand mats, sand loungers, sand cots, sand canopies, sand umbrellas and some more. All these double the holiday beach outing! Why just a beach outing, one may consider them putting along the swimming pool or somewhere about in the garden.
Beach chairs come with various detachable parts like canopy, footrest, head gear etc. They come in varied shapes, sizes and forms. A person must go through all the alternatives available before making the final decision. Following are some of the most preferred beach or sand chair.-
Adirondack chairs
Adirondack chairs display robustness and royalty. These are wooden chairs with sturdy armrest and backrest. Since the armrests are strong and wide, these chairs provide kind of side tables alongside.
Low Seat plastic beach chairs
Yes, the trend is shifting these days from wooden or metal frames to plastic ones. Plastic is held to be more resistant to heather severities than any other material. Plus, if one thinks plastic will not be comfortable on the bones, one may add the luxury of cushions!
Low lying sand loungers
Beach Loungers are the best of all, undoubtedly! They lend a relaxing feel in its true sense. They are evergreen sand chairs and come at pretty prices. Popular brands like Ostrich Beach Chair can be used as beach chaise or beach chair with full reclining positions and allows you to face down to the ground making it the perfect choice for sun-tanning your full body.
Sand chair with canopy/umbrella
When an ordinary sand chair comes with a canopy or an umbrella to beat the merciless heat, what better? Modern styles of canopy beach chairs are lightweight for portability.
Sling chairs
These are funky relaxing and folding beach chairs made from canvas and metal or wooden frame, most often. Most people recognize them with âXâ shaped frame and cloth seating. These chairs are as light as a feather. They have a designer appeal. They can be used both indoors and outdoors. These are compact and can be folded easily.
So, the weekend is approaching. Get ready to bask in the glory of sun with family and friends! Get the rejuvenating holiday mood right with the best beach furniture and sand chairs. The furniture, chairs in fact go a long way in making the outing more relaxing and worth enjoying and hence beach seating accessories must not be neglected.
Ergonomic Beach Loungers The beach lounger can be manually adjusted to five different positions and the lower portion folds down for use as a beach chair. our ergonomic beach lounger helps reduce neck and back tension and folds for easy transport. Most popular brand by Ergo Lounger can also be at the pool side and enjoy the most comfortable lounger as possible.

Jun 10, 2010
The public expresses far more trust in the news media for information about the Gulf oil leak than it does in either the federal government or BP.
Fully 67% say they have a lot (20%) or some trust (47%) in information on the oil leak coming from news organizations. That compares with 51% who have at least some trust in information from the federal government and 39% in information from BP.
The latest News Interest Index survey, conducted June 3-6 among 1,002 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, finds that the oil leak continues to dominate the public's news interest. Nearly two-thirds (66%) cite the Gulf disaster as the story they followed most closely – more than seven times the percentage citing the economy (9%), the second-leading story. As the disaster continued to grow, the leak was also the most heavily covered story, accounting for 35% of the newshole last week, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.

Lexi Bolstad improving; posts on CaringBridgeFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Davies senior Lexi Bolstad is making strides in her recovery from a severe brain injury.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Davies senior Lexi Bolstad is making strides in her recovery from a severe brain injury.
Friday, she even posted a message on her CaringBridge site for the first time. And back home, her support system is as strong as ever.
Each year, Vic's Aircraft hosts a fundraiser to help a local family struggling with an illness.
This weekend, that fundraiser will help the Bolstad family cover medical costs as Lexi recovers at a rehab facility in Denver.
Lexi Bolstad has come a long way.
Since suffering a severe brain injury nearly two months ago, she has now walked for the first time, and can communicate.
Friday, she posted for the first time on her CaringBridge site, thanking friends, family and even strangers.
She was also shown shooting a few hoops. Her sister Brittany says the basketball star hardly missed one.
And back home in Fargo-Moorhead, her support system is growing.
Victor Gelking- Vic's Aircraft: "They must be going through a lot right now; tremendous stress."
Victor Gelking, owner of Vic's Aircraft in Fargo, hosts a fundraiser each year.
This year, the money will go to the Bolstad family to help with medical bills.
Allan Skramstad also got involved after hearing about Lexi's accident, though he had never met the Bolstad's before.
Allan Skramstad- Helping the Bolstads: "It kind of hit home with me."
His own daughter, Shannon, died in a car accident at 26.
That was 11 years ago.
Now, Allan hopes to help this family through the hardest time of their lives.
Skramstad: "I kind of know what Jon and Robin are going through. Even though they didn't lose Lexi, it was kind of nip-and-tuck for a while there."
The fundraiser goes from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
There will be airplane rides, food and a hypnotist.
Some of Lexi's friends, who have done a lot for the family already including selling bracelets, are helping at the event.
