"I made this Gelato for two of my siblings birthdays (they were born on the same day but are not twins). They both loved it and so did our parents. The next day we gave some to visitors who loved it as well.I omitted the liquor so the taste was mild. Hopefully next time I can add it."

"I served this with fresh strawberries, raspberries and blackberries and was a very refreshing, actually light ending to a great dinner. Was very easy to make."

About Laminate Flooring
Beveled edges are featured in many different laminate flooring patterns. They are grooved edges that offer a clear, distinct line between each plank. Beveled edges make each plank look like real hardwood. Laminate flooring with beveled edges comes in many different flooring designs, colors and patterns.
Beveled edges are often referred to as V-grooves, as each plank is milled to give the plank its own distinct look. Beveled edges are a win-win for the consumer, as the laminate flooring looks real, yet offers resistance to scratches, sunlight, and almost anything you can toss its way. Exotic, Traditional, and even Contemporary styles of laminate flooring all offer a beveled edge.
As with any laminate flooring, a light, daily sweep and your floor will look like a million bucks. The beveled edges are just a little icing on the cake!

123. All of the snails that you choose for your pen must be of the same kind.
124. You may have found one of the kinds of snails shown on pages 8 to 11 in the last booklet living in your area. You may also have found a different kind of snail.
125. Now you must learn to choose the beat of the kinds of snails that you have found. When you first begin you will need fully grown snails.
126. Remember, that all snails are both male and female and all snails lay eggs. So, when you are looking for snails, you can choose any one that is fully grown.
127. You can tell that a snail is fully grown because it has a lip on the mouth of its shell. The drawings below show two fully grown snails with lips.
128. Look at the drawings again. Notice that although both snails are fully grown, one of them fills its shell and one of them does not.
129. The snail that does not fill its shell may be sick or it may have lost its water because of dry weather. This snail may not grow well.
130. Choose only snails that fill their shells. Snails that fill their shells will usually grow well.
131. Choose snails that have good, strong shells. Strong shells protect snails from their enemies, and snails with strong shells sell better at the market.
132. Choose the largest of the fully grown snails that you can find from the kind of snail that you are going to farm.
133. The larger snails of any kind of snail will be better and healthier and lay more eggs than a snail that is smaller.
134. In addition, the eggs of large, healthy snails hatch better and the baby snails grow bigger and faster.
135. Later, when you have more experience in choosing snails, you will learn just how large a fully grown snail should be. You will also learn the different colours of the kind of snail that you are farming.
136. Then you can choose snails that are the same size and colour that you want your baby snails to be.
As you collect your snails, handle them very gently and put them carefully into a container such as a basket so that you can carry them to the pen without hurting them.

Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4600 &
Ti4400 review
Posted by
Franco on April 15, 2002
Manufacturer: Visiontek
Products: Xtasy
GeForce4 Ti4600
- Xtasy
GeForce4 Ti4400
for Xtasy
Ti4600 or Ti4400
could have imagined that Visiontek would become one of the
most popular videocard makers among US PC enthusiasts in
less than a year?
Even though their operational facilities
have existed for years now, building up a whole new
structure to become a retail manufacturer is no easy job,
and I'm sure getting people's attention is even worse; but
it would seem that Visiontek did everything right for
success, they heard people's needs and learned from its big
partner, NVIDIA, that a product delivered on time, played a
key strategy for itself.
One hard fact that really impressed me
was their recent announcement regarding plans for expanding
operations to the European market, much probably with
NVIDIA's full support after Hercules and other OEM's have
switched to ATI and Creative's uncertain future support
after the 3D Labs acquisition was announced.
So, getting back on our coverage of
Visiontek's latest videocards we can tell that once again
Xtasy boards were early to the market, being the first ones
to be available on store shelves, but not by much this
time... unlike with GF3 Ti boards, a couple of months ago,
this time around we are going to see most major OEMs
offering similar cards based on GF4 chips given that these
are expected to have a much larger life cycle. For this same
reason, I'm expecting card makers to offer the best product
possible at the lowest price to compete with the rest of
the Box
Taking the cards out of the boxes
reminded me of Voodoo5 boards because of their noticeable
larger-than-standard size (yes, the cards are big). There
have been a few reports about cards not fitting well on some
mobos or cases, I'm using a MSI K7T Turbo mobo on a standard
ATX case and had zero trouble fitting any of the cards
though, looking at the pictures below you will notice the
large number of transistors located in the back of the
boards, those are commonly the ones people have trouble
You can see Visiontek decided to go with
the reference HSF design, which IMHO is really cool looking,
no word yet on how effective it is for overclocking purposes
though, we will get to that later on the review. Not too
difficult to notice, what seems to be a more elaborated
VGA port, this change, originally from NVIDIA's reference
board will hopefully bring on an improved 2d picture, no
word from the manufacturer on this kind of change though.
Here you have a closer look to the
available ports on both cards. We can see those sharing
similar features, the standard VGA port and DVI output are
included while the small connector on the Ti4400 is for
TV-out and the higher-end Ti4600 model comes with a VIVO
port. According to Visiontek they chose the 9-pin to two
4-pin VIVO connector so they didn't have to sacrifice dual
monitor support or add a daughterboard which would also add
to the cost.
Both Xtasy models are what you would
usually call 'high-end cards', priced at $255
& $349
for the Ti4400 and the Ti4600 respectively. The main
differences between them are core and RAM speeds, as well as
the video input options the Ti4400 lacks. The more expensive
Xtasy Ti4600 comes default clocked at 300/650 versus 275/550
for the Ti4400. It would seem that the speed
difference between boards isn't enough to justify the extra
$100, but in theory, the Ti4600 board should also offer more room
for overclocking (see next page for more details).

TL 5 Star Locks of the Week
Posted on 10 Sep 2010 by Tim Lewis.
Last week we touched on why the oddsmakers are at their most vulnerable in week 1 due to a lack of data to form an educated guess. I wanted to point out that the reason why they are afraid to set the the lines too high in all of these early season mismatches has to do with the moneyline. Their fear of getting burned on the public taking the huge underdog moneyline is motivation for them to ...

Two Hope tracksters achieved All-America status
at the NCAA Division III track and field championship in Berea,
Ohio. Sophomore Emily Sowers of Grand Rapids (GR Christian HS)
finished fifth in the discus while junior Jenny Ernst of
Westerville, Ohio (Westerville South HS) was seventh in the
10,000 meter run.
With six points, Hope finished 38th among 70 teams that
scored in the meet. MIAA champion Calvin was fourth in the
women's meet highlighted by two national championship
This is the second time that Hope has had two All-Americans
in the same year at the women's national championships. In 1987
Karen Hoekstra was sixth in the javelin and Julie Darling sixth
in the 400-meter hurdles. In 1993, Marcia Vandersall was an
All-American in two events (5,000 and 10,000).
Competing at nationals for the second consecutive year,
Sowers had a throw of 142 feet, 1 inch in the finals. She
advanced to the finals after throwing 140 feet, 11 inches in a
field of 21 competitors in the qualifying round. The national
champion is Tabitha Fendrick of Wisc.-Whitewater with a throw of
149 feet, 1 inch.
Sowers is the first Hope athlete (male or female) to achieve
All-America distinction in the discus. She holds the Hope
(145-7) and MIAA (145-7) discus records and is a two-time
all-conference trackster. As a freshman she finished 15th at
Seeded 14th in a field of 19 runners, Ernst was in the
middle of the pack most of the marathon 10,000-meter race until
putting on a surge in the final laps to crack the top ten and
gain All-America distinction by finishing seventh.
Her time of 36:23.70 is a Hope College record. The previous
mark was 36:31.3 by Marcia VanderSall at nationals in 1993. The
race was won by freshman Cheryl Smith of Cortland State, N.Y.
Ernst became the third Hope runner to achieve All-America
status in the 10,000 meter run. Marcia Vandersall finished sixth
at nationals in both 1991 and 1993.
Later in the meet, Ernst finished 15th in a field of 21
runners in the 5,000-meter run (18:09.36).

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Damn Left Hand
I have designated the 8126 as my indicator rod!! And George told me the Perry Poke is an excellent lead eyed fly cast so with the 8126 and the Perry Poke I am all set for a summer on the Stilly.
I think once I get it through my head to not push with my left hand but pull with my right (80%-20%)...George told me I had an excellent stroke and pivot but I was pushing way too much. He said to do what you can to tough just touch my fingers on left hand instead of actually gripping the rod.
Can not wait to give it anothe go though...Wensday is just a couple days away.
Licensed to Spey?
Excellent Ryan . . . now you just have to learn to :hehe: DUCK :hehe: when the Indicator comes whizzing by so the little lead-eyed monster doesn't eat your ear!!
Seriously, tho . . congratulations! Nothing more fun that getting your first spey casting lessons. I remember John Farrar teaching us the various casts on the shores of the North Fork Skykomish quite a few years ago. I still remind myself of several points he made when my casting goes South (and it does for everyone occasionally).
Ryan -
Sounds like you are off to a great start... just remember if you don't set correctly you can get a hook in the other cheek! :hehe:
The shotgun analogy is Derek Brown's - I was just doin' a "what he said" cause it really helped me too. Now if I could only remember to do it
Keep at it, there is nothing more pleasant than the cadence and fluidity of working a long line through a beautiful pool with a Spey rod, just when you become so full of bliss that don't need anything else in the world to be happy, >WHUNK< ScreeeEEEEeeeeEEEEEaaaaaMMM!
If it's any consolation you should have no problem kickin' my butt soon, I only get serious Spey sessions in the spring and fall anymore
First Formal Spey Lesson
Today I finally had some on the water instruction on how to properly throw the two-handed rod. It was great...learned alot but it was tough as I am left handed and the drift at Ben Howard lends itself to the right-handed caster.
I couldn't wait to get to the DoubleSpey portion so I would not look like such a screw up.
Can not wait to go out and try the Snap-T and Perry Poke (a totally killer cast) where the river is in my favor (river right I believe or is the other way around. I always get confused).
Juro's advice regarding tracking a bird with a shotgun was excellent advice when crossing my body over to set my D-Loop. Now I just need to stop pushing with my left and start snapping with my right hand when performing the forward cast.

Whether or not it's your cup of tea, Spoleto Festival USA has been sparking dialogue, provoking debate, and offering commentary on art and culture since 1977. It has championed brilliant (and sometimes baffling) work, captivated an international audience year after year, and garnered a healthy share of deserved acclaim. But in addition to lighting up local stages with its esoteric fare for 17 days and nights every spring, Spoleto ignites the fête set's zeal to party hearty. Patrons plan, host, and attend scores of annual affairs for which the festival is the official beneficiary. And this is, after all, the party report, so let's get down to business.
The scene on Friday night at the official kick-off of the 2010 Spoleto party circuit—La Dolce Vita auction—was festive but a shade subdued compared to years past when vignette-style themes gave rise to whimsical attire or an aura of theatricality on par with the innovative festival. The cue was pearls, a nod to the gift traditionally associated with a 30th anniversary (the milestone number marked by this year's auction). A triple strand of cherry tomato-sized gems valued at $30,000 was by far the most eye-popping auction lot of the night.
Designed for noted goldsmith Arthur King, whose intricate wax casting techniques and shops in New York, London, Miami, Paris and Havana made him the toast of the 1960 - 70s jet set echelon, the necklace is a fabulous piece of avant-garde wearable art. Photos of the prized pearls popped up on Facebook the day following the auction, although it's not clear as to who now owns the majestic necklace. Perhaps the one-of-a-kind treasure will make an appearance at the festival's opening weekend gala.
Apparel was decidedly more eclectic than conservative cocktail, which was delicious fun (We're looking at you, Peggy Lewis, Annie Stone, Sue Soderlund, Callie White, Denise Barto, Carolyn Matalene, and Meredith Dunnan).
Lynn Hanlin wore a gorgeous coin-pearl necklace from Dixie Dunbar Studio, which she won at a previous Spoleto auction, while Gil Evans successfully defeated the other silent auction bidders vying for a necklace donated by The Finicky Filly (perhaps it will adorn the neck of the lucky recipient at next year's auction)!
Amid the legion of veteran supporters whose faces are synonymous with Spoleto parties were two fresh spirits: the heavily bearded Michael James Moran and the beautiful Sally King Benedict. A piece of Moran's bespoke woodworking—a nine-foot cherry wood dining table—and King's original painting, which served as the auction's signature work, each fetched a handsome sum in the live auction.
The auditorium had been divided into two rooms, framework that sustained the progressive nature of the evening. Once the silent auction ended in the recessed portion of the room, guests were directed to the tiered seating side of the auditorium. "Sitting in the audience" during the live auction felt like foreshadowing for the U.S. premiere of This is What Happens Next, which opens on June 1 at Memminger.
We love hearing patron Denise Barto's Spoleto memories: Ella Fitzgerald singing in the Cistern at midnight, talking til dawn with Karen Kandel, and sipping champagne with every noted musician, dancer, playwright, and socialite to breeze through town May - June. What about YOU? What is your favorite Spoleto memory? Head over to our Facebook page and tell us your favorite memory or what you're looking forward to experiencing this year.

TUPELO – Tupelo, Pontotoc, Saltillo, Corinth, and Oxford.
These are five of the top 16 girls high school cross country teams in Mississippi, and they put on quiet a show Saturday at the Tupelo Invitational at Ballard Park.
With the state meet just three weeks away, Tupelo is beginning to peak at the right time, as evidenced by its victory at its home meet over an elite field.
"I was very pleased with the way we finished this race as compared to Mississippi College last week," said Tupelo girl coach Anna Sloan, whose Lady Wave finished second last week to Pontotoc. "A strong finish is so important, and we finished well today."
Tupelo placed its top five runners in the top 17 of the race, good enough for 47 points. Memphis area school St. Agnes was second with 62, with Saltillo third at 83, Pontotoc fourth at 83, Corinth fifth at 115, and Oxford sixth at 123.
"We finally got the "W" as a team this season," said Sloan, whose Lady Wave have won 11 straight state titles. "I was very pleased with the results and effort."
Pontotoc is ranked No. 1 in the state on milesplit.com, and has won three consecutive state titles.
Healthy win for Daniels
The individual 4K results were equally strong.
Christina Daniels of Tupelo began rounding into form after an early season illness, won in 14 minutes, 41 seconds. Peyton Haman of Lafayette was third at 15:01, Yvette Evans of Corinth fourth at 15:01, and Elizabeth Lunn of Pontotoc sixth at 15:29.
Madison Nash and Callie Mayo of Tupelo added ninth and 10th place finishes, respectively.
The 4A-6A boys event featured the other No. 1 ranked team in Mississippi – the Tupelo boys. But like the girls event, the top ranked team did not win.
Christian Brothers of Memphis was first with 40, Saltillo (50) a strong second, Tupelo (64) third and Pontotoc (98) fourth.
"If we beat Tupelo, then its something we've been shooting for the last four or five years since the last time we beat them," Saltillo coach Charles Covington said. "We've got 10 guys running good right now."
Christian Brothers placed three runners in the top five for the 5K, with Aaron Mays first in 16:43. Darnell Collier of Tupelo was third in 17:01, Brayden Timmons of Pontotoc fourth in 17:03, and Lance Crabtree of Saltillo sixth in 17:08.
In the 1A-3A boys race, French Camp was first in 70, Kossuth second in 75, and West Union third in 89. In the girls, Hickory Flat won with 64, Myrtle was second with 77, and Mooreville third with 79.

Does anybody else find it odd that it takes an average user three hours (and then giving up) to attempt to configure a USB flash stick to auto-mount upon insertion, just to save three seconds typing a single mount command, just a tad stupid?
If I amortise that enormous waste of time over the number of times I'll be plugging the device in, I'll have worn out a dozen of them.
My apologies to the hotplug people, but judging by the obscene apparent complexity of the Linux hotplug framework to configure, it's an exercise in false economy.

Awards Guidance
The mission of the Louisiana Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) is to promote a cleaner and better environment for Louisiana through voluntary pollution prevention, waste reduction and/or other environmental stewardship efforts.
The Louisiana Environmental Leadership was established in 1995 as a voluntary cooperative effort between the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and various Louisiana industries. It was fully operational by 1997 to promote pollution prevention and other efforts, in the pursuit of environmental excellence and leadership. The current program is comprised of Louisiana large, medium and small businesses, federal facilities, municipalities, non-governmental organizations, and schools and universities. Any organization committed to improving the quality of Louisiana's environment through pollution prevention, waste reduction and other environmental improvements is eligible to join the program as a participating member.
Participants in this program must commit to supporting the ELP core principles outlined below:
Membership is renewed every three years upon demonstrated measurable results. This is strictly a voluntary program. Plans and goals may be modified at any time, and not meeting goals will not be used by the LDEQ in any judgmental manner whatsoever.
By joining the program you are recognized by your community as an organization committed to maintaining and improving the quality of Louisiana's environment. The secretary of the LDEQ will acknowledge your participation by letter and each new member will be awarded a membership certificate at the annual awards ceremony.
Members of the ELP can participate in periodic meetings, conferences, and seminars/workshops sponsored by the Environmental Leadership Program. Members will be able to obtain information and resources on various pollution prevention opportunities and other environmental management and conservation topics as well as hear from other leaders around the state that are implementing projects.
One of the highlights of the ELP is that members can participate and be recognized in the annual Environmental Leadership Awards for outstanding achievement in Pollution Prevention, Community Environmental Outreach, Outstanding Environmental Ordinance & Enforcement and Environmental Management Systems. Awardees in these categories are recognized annually by the LDEQ secretary at a highly publicized ceremony.

A team of scientists in Australia are working to revive Rheobatrachus silus, now an extinct species of frog
Singapore: The genome of an extinct Australian frog has been revived and reactivated by a team of scientists using sophisticated cloning technology to implant a "dead" cell nucleus into a fresh egg from another frog species.
The bizarre gastric-brooding frog, Rheobatrachus silus - which uniquely swallowed its eggs, brooded its young in its stomach and gave birth through its mouth - became extinct in 1983. But the Lazarus Project team has been able to recover cell nuclei from tissues collected in the 1970s and kept for 40 years in a conventional deep freezer. The "de-extinction" project aims to bring the frog back to life.
In repeated experiments over five years, the researchers used a laboratory technique known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. They took fresh donor eggs from the distantly related Great Barred Frog, Mixophyes fasciolatus, inactivated the egg nuclei and replaced them with dead nuclei from the extinct frog. Some of the eggs spontaneously began to divide and grow to early embryo stage - a tiny ball of many living cells.
Although none of the embryos survived beyond a few days, genetic tests confirmed that the dividing cells contain the genetic material from the extinct frog. The results of the research are yet to be published.
"We are watching Lazarus arise from the dead, step by exciting step," says the leader of the Lazarus Project team, Professor Mike Archer, of the University of New South Wales, in Sydney. "We've reactivated dead cells into living ones and revived the extinct frog's genome in the process. Now we have fresh cryo-preserved cells of the extinct frog to use in future cloning experiments."

Sorting out history
The last three weeks I've been bogged down in history. Not just any history, but the 11 volumes of newspaper clippings detailing the 20 years of the Union County Historical Society.
Why would I do that? Well, I confess it wasn't because I thought it would be more fun than reading a magazine or watching a movie. In fact, I didn't think it would be much fun at all.
It all started a year ago when my wife and I joined the historical society. At the annual lunch meeting, I noticed the society was observing its 19th anniversary. I dutifully marked the 20th anniversary date on my calendar because I thought we should do a story about the 20 years of the historical society.
Well, one thing turned into another, and what started out being a story turned into a 10-page special section. Our news staff had several story ideas for the section, and I suggested that we needed a timeline tracing the 20 years of the society and the Union County Heritage Museum. I even volunteered to put the timeline together.
The problem, of course, was that I really didn't know anything about the museum's history. I asked Jill Smith, museum director, if she had anything that would help me out. When she piled up 11 big, three-ring binders crammed full of newspaper articles, letters, and memorabilia for me to take home, I was a little taken aback.
Well, 4,500 words and 14 typewritten pages later, we had a timeline. And I have gotten an education about the society from its earliest days as a committee of only a few people interested in preserving our history and our connection to William Faulkner.
Much of the early credit goes to Betsy Hamilton, and the committee that included Paul Broussard, Rodney Shands, Jim Dickerson, Henry Knox, Barbara Creekmore, Hilda Hill and the Gazette's Maxine Morz.
The society was organized and a year later purchased the old Catholic Church on Cleveland Street. As time moved along, the society decided to build a larger building next to the church to expand the museum. It opened in 2000, and Smith became the museum director that year.
Over the years, Smith has been instrumental in starting Museum Moments, Museum Madness, Pioneer Days, the Down from the Hills Festival and Fiddling Competition and a variety of other programs.
I came away wondering how she and her small staff of mostly volunteers do it all. It made me tired just reading about it; I can't imagine having to actually do it.
It also gave me a sense of how important and educational the museum's programs are to the children of our community and those who come to visit from other towns and counties.
Despite all my grumbling (as Jenny will tell you) about searching through the 11 volumes to help with the Gazette's special section, it gave me a greater appreciation for our museum and its work. I wasn't just doing my civic duty, which was how it started. I'm on a mission to get out the word about a Union County treasure. If you haven't been there lately, go. And if you've never been there, go even sooner.
And while you're there, become a member and support the good work that the historical society does. It doesn't cost much to become an important part of your county's history.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Mean Mr Mustard
Gentlemen, an OUTSTANDING fly!
Yesterday I used the Orvis American PT Nymph and was easily King for the day (very unusual for me) on the lake. My nearest competitor and usual King of the Lake (the float tuber w/fish finder) caught 3 fish to my 9, 7 using the PT nymph. Awesome pattern. Awesome day.
Gonna spend the week tying up a bunch after my single one got shredded.
P.S. And that is the last of my bragging. Well until I get my first summer steel!:hehe:
|John Desjardins
|Your right Sean.
|I had similar trouble with only copper wire rather than trad. thread. The problem seems to be its tendency to stiffen up under any kind of torque when winding which is difficult to avoid. Maybe something to do with the quality of the wire? Still, a very "neet" minimalist concept
|to my knowledge the english version uses PT as the thorax also
|John Desjardins
Sean, I think that we are pretty close. I tend to tie cripples by design. No lazyness is a better reason.
Adrian interesting you should note the feather qualities. I worked my way up from the base on a single feather tying these and noticed a difference in the web of the fly between early flys & later. The fly without the bead was the last fly I tied versus the one with a bead which was earlier.
I don't know why but I've always had trouble these using the copper wire in Sawyers original. I should try it again because it would be a simpler tie.
One of my all time favorites and one which has probably undergone as many variants as any fly created.
The original was tied by Frank Sawyer, a river keeper on the Wiltshire Avon.
His materials were:
Hook: #12-#24, 2XL Round or Perfect bend
Thread/weight: fine dark colored (enamelled) copper wire
Tail/abdomen/thorax/wingcase: red/brown fibers from a cock pheasant center tail feather, to match the copper wire in color. Some writers insist that only the center tail feather will yield the correct quality of fibres.
Simple, elegant and absolutely deadly
yours look different then how i learned
tail body and thorax same
rib fine gold wire
when i tie in the wing case i leave the tip of the pheasant tail out and pull them back at the end to form the legs
|John Desjardins
Pheasant tail nymph - an old standby
This is one of my favorites. Its simple to tie, easy to modify & effective.
Hook: Tmc 3761 #16
Thread: brown #8/0
Bead(optional): glass or metal
Tail: Pheasant tail or biot
Body: Pheasant tail
Rib(optional): gold embroidery thread
Thorax: Peacock herl
Wrap a neat underlay of thread on the hook, if a rib is esired tie it in now. Then layer 3 thread wraps on top of each other to tie the pheasant tail in as the tail. Wrap the thread and then the pheasant tail 2/3'rds of the way to the eye. tie off the pheasant tail on the bottom of the hook and then pull it up like post 90 degrees to the top of the hookand add a couple of wraps to hold it in place. Counterwrap the rib if one is used and tie it off. Tie in the peacock herl for the thorax wrap forward then tie it off. Fold the pheasant tail over the top of the peacock to form a wing case and tie it down. Now you can either cut off the remainder of the tail, fold it down on both sides of the hook like a beard or fold it out to the sides.
Other ways to modify this fly are to use foam for the wing case which makes the fly an emerger, add lead weight as an underbody for a deep sinking fly or use partridge feathers for a beard.
With a bead
Without the bead
Or a whole batch of them

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:01 pm on June 26, 2014 by Allahpundit
"In the coming days, our team will look into the irregularities to determine whether a challenge is warranted," McDaniel, 41, said of the allegations. "After we've examined the data, we will make a decision about whether and how to proceed."…
Steffey, a professor of election law at Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, detailed the barriers McDaniel would have to go through in order to claim victory, noting he would have to identify a "systemic problem so pervasive as to have the entire election thrown out," something he believes is without precedent…
There were poll observers on the ground, but Steffey has seen no reports of widespread challenges. He noted there is a law that no one can vote in a primary without the intent to support that candidate in the general election, but says it is "unenforceable."…
"It seems like the early stages of grief, where denial and bargaining is still going on," he said.
[McDaniel's] self-absorbed speech – which equated the broader conservative cause's success with an already-lost election – reflects a relatively new tendency in conservative politics. Until recently, the party's moderates – Wayne Gilchrest, Joe Schwarz, Lisa Murkowski, Dick Lugar – had always been the ones more likely to embrace the sore loser's mantle, even as they and their allies complained that conservatives were destroying GOP unity. But the Right keeps finding new ways to give up the high ground.
Conservatives once had the patience to lose, keep fighting, and win slowly. Through the tragedies of Barry Goldwater's landslide loss, Richard Nixon's presidency, Gerald Ford's 1976 nomination, and betrayals big and small by more than one President Bush, conservatives quietly did the unglamorous work of electing and promoting their candidates, state by state, district by district. Over decades, they changed the national political conversation. And they moved the Republican Party – not just its fringes, but its center and its establishment as well – far to the right of where it had once been.
But for some conservatives, patience has lately given way to demands for instant gratification. Why accept defeat just because we got fewer votes? So what if we failed to elect enough conservatives to defund Obamacare – we want it, and we want it right now. Or we all quit!
"The establishment crossed the line last night," Craig Shirley, a conservative political consultant and biographer of Ronald Reagan told Yahoo News in an interview Wednesday. "This is a win for the establishment, but it's a win with an asterisk, because it's so tainted that it might be one of those things where they're going to be sorry they ever won the runoff in Mississippi."…
Even though Cochran won, conservative activists say that the Mississippi race was a pivotal moment that will serve as the turning point for those who are increasingly fed up with the party.
"Last night in the long run may be the night that the GOP establishment died," FreedomWorks Vice President Adam Brandon told Yahoo News. "The GOP can't keep getting us to support their candidates when they're literally using the other side to get their candidates across."…
"This just threw gasoline onto the flames of the civil war," said Richard Viguerie, a Republican activist and the chairman of ConservativeHQ.com. "What happened yesterday in Mississippi will resonate for years to come. It will become the battle cry, just like the Alamo. We will remember Mississippi."
According to one person involved in the discussions among the leaders of these groups, the possibilities include trying to build support for a third-party run by Mr. McDaniel — a move that would almost certainly draw Republican votes away from Mr. Cochran and help his Democratic challenger, Travis Childers.
In addition, some Tea Party leaders were discussing throwing their weight behind Mr. Childers. Though he is a Democrat, some of his views — he is anti-abortion and opposes the Affordable Care Act — are attractive to conservatives. "The Tea Party is so burned they may do something radical," a conservative leader involved in the planning said, asking not to be named in order to discuss internal deliberations.
Some Tea Party supporters were pushing for Mr. McDaniel to wage a write-in campaign in the general election…
But Austin Barbour, a campaign adviser to Mr. Cochran, said Mr. McDaniel had run out of options. Mr. Barbour said that a write-in campaign would be illegal under Mississippi law — the ballots would be thrown out — and that Mr. McDaniel had missed the deadline to get on the ballot as an independent.
In an interview with HuffPost Live, Derrick Johnson, president of the Mississippi NAACP, said that Cochran could thank black voters by supporting efforts to re-establish protections in the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court struck down last year.
"Our advocacy towards his office is to support amending the Voting Rights Act, free of any conditions such as voter ID," Johnson said. "I think this is an opportunity for him to show some reciprocity for African-Americans providing a strong level of support for him."
Johnson said that there are currently no Republicans who support re-establishing the formula eliminated by the Supreme Court last year, though Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and a handful of other Republicans have expressed support for restoring protections. Under the formula, states like Mississippi needed to receive federal clearance before making changes to the way that elections were held. Johnson added that other priorities for the Mississippi NAACP included getting more support for the state's black colleges and universities as well as getting more federal allocations for communities represented by black elected officials.
In reaching out to black voters in recent days, Cochran touted his support for the farm bill, for federal education funding, for the food-stamp program. But the GOP establishment's debt requires a grander statement of gratitude than that. There's the John Conyers bill calling for a study of slavery reparations—what measure is more suitable than that to be linked to an election in the state that was the headquarters of King Cotton? But if that's a bridge too far, here are two other possibilities. Mississippi has rejected the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, thus leaving uncovered 300,000 of its residents, most of them African-American—a classic example of the ways in which the state's large racial minority has suffered at the hands of the state's monolithically white and Republican power structure. Might Cochran and, more importantly, Haley Barbour call on their allies in Jackson to rethink that rejection of gobs of federal funds just waiting to be deployed in their impoverished state?
Or this: There is a movement afoot in Washington to pass new protections for the voting rights of minorities in the wake of the Supreme Court's overturning of key elements of the Voting Rights Act. Is there any more fitting way for Thad Cochran to express recognition of the role that African-American voters played in his survival—in the face of threats of voter intimidation from his Republican opponent—than to guarantee that black voters in Mississippi and elsewhere are unencumbered in their access to the polls? I don't recall Cochran speaking up loudly in opposition when Mississippi passed a stringent voter ID law not long ago. Better late than never, Senator.
Look at it this way: Cochran will roll into the general election with the usual advantages of long-term incumbency, which are certainly nothing to sneeze at… but his Democrat opponent will take away every single argument he used to win his runoff. There's no bid Thad Cochran can make to buy Mississippi votes with federal taxpayer money that a Democrat cannot cheerfully beat. At some point in that bidding war, the Republican base starts throwing up its hands in disgust and staying home, assuming Cochran hasn't already fatally wounded himself in the general election by pushing McDaniel's very sizable cadre of supporters away, by using tactics that smeared them as much as McDaniel. And even if Cochran wins this time, he's 76 years old and will retire soon, leaving an open seat that his last-ditch campaign has made more Democrat-friendly. Republicans who run as slightly less spendthrift defenders of the Democrat-dominated spending machine are assisting a seismic shift of American political consciousness that will eventually make it impossible for them to win, or indistinguishable from Democrats when they do…
The important struggle today isn't truly partisan. It's not even entirely about conservatives vs. liberals any more. It's about the System versus those who want to shut it down before it runs out of taxpayer fuel, chokes on the liberties it devours, and blows apart. Thad Cochran's quest to hang on to his seat provides a classic example of the System protecting itself, with both Republican and Democrat forces lined up beneath its banner. With a 2 percent victory in hand, the System's mouthpieces are now busy declaring that everything McDaniel and his supporters believe is "extreme," "radical," and toxic for anyone interested in winning an election.
As a local observer tells The Guardian, Cochran's campaign was "sending mailers to people in black Jackson neighborhoods touting Cochran's supposed support of public schools, HBCU [historically black colleges and universities] funding, and 'blight protection for minority communities,' even as people in richer, whiter neighborhoods were getting Cochran mailers featuring all white men and Cochran touting his pro-NRA, anti-abortion cred, and his 'more than 100′ votes against Obamacare."
Meanwhile, Cochran did not exactly have a history of appealing to black voters in the state, as you might expect from a politician of his generation in Mississippi. This report writes off Cochran as a product of the "Southern Strategy" who is accustomed to employing "coded, 'wink-wink' racism." That's the spin of a left-leaning observer, of course, but it is fair to assume that this view would have widespread currency among the black Democrats who turned out to vote for Cochran. So they "voted almost exclusively for the federal money Cochran brings home—not for the party that abandoned African-Americans back in the 1960s."
Is this what racial politics all boils down to—that it's not about who is racist or who isn't, but merely about who can deliver the federal dollars? This is more evidence, in case it was needed, that racial politics in America is no longer actually about race or racism. It has been co-opted as a bludgeon for supporters of the welfare state.
This political near-death experience for Mr. Cochran should not obscure truths that Republican officeholders ignore at their peril. Members of Congress had better stay connected to the politics of their state or district if they hope to win re-election. That doesn't mean incumbents need to be in lock-step with every group on every issue. It does mean holding town hall meetings, staying in touch with local political leaders, listening to their concerns, treating them with respect by telling them when and why one disagrees, and cultivating allies…
Tuesday's outcomes suggest local tea party groups have more influence than the national groups purporting to speak for them. A network of Mississippi tea party groups made Mr. McDaniel competitive. In Oklahoma, national groups like Club for Growth, Senate Conservative Fund and FreedomWorks could spend and endorse all they wanted, yet local tea party support for Mr. Lankford blunted these inside-the-Beltway groups' impact in the Sooner State…
Former House Speaker Tip O'Neill once famously said, "All politics is local." That doesn't mean politics is only local or that lawmakers should only reflect the views of some groups back home at every moment. But constituents do want to know they're being heard rather than forgotten. Politicians who forget that ancient lesson pay a price sooner or later.

The California Teen Eating, Exercise, and Nutrition Survey is the most comprehensive survey of teen dietary intake and activity in the state. It also captures information about factors influencing these behaviors such as barriers, self-efficacy, and knowledge of healthy choices.
The 1998 CalTEENS data tables include in depth analyses of California adolescents eating behaviors for several types of food including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, milk and dairy products, legumes, protein rich animal foods, high-fat foods, soda and sweets. The physical activity component of the survey covers daily participation in various forms of physical activity, including physical education, organized sports, computer usage, and TV watching. Self-reported height and weight data are gathered to determine Body Mass Index and prevalence of overweight. CalTEENS also assesses the knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy to eat healthfully and be physically active, as well as the perceived barriers to these behaviors. In addition, various environmental and attitudinal factors associated with health behaviors, such as eating at fast food restaurants, access to candy and soft drinks at school, school lunches, belief about foods needed for good health, dieting practices and perceived ideal weight are examined.
Note: The corrected 1998 CalTEENS data tables were updated to reflect the cut points for "Overweight" and "At Risk for Overweight" used in the 2000 CDC Growth Charts. Highlighted data were revised from the original CalTEENS 1998 report released in 2000.

what we have to fear is the powerful lobbyists for the oil companies that arent involved in developing the technology or the automotive companies that dont have an engine on the drawing board capable of running alternative fuel sources, they will do whatever possible to thwart an alternative source from coming to market.you can bet that OPEC will lobby hard to delay the roll out
Yup. It is all about the money.

It's a very positive development. The CNG stations seem to be popping up at a pretty rapid rate. I'm sure the government will find a way to kill it.
CNG is awesome. It burns almost twice as efficient as that ethanol blend BS. They have been making CNG compatible vehicles for sometime now. Also, if you have a gas line to your house you can have a refueling system put in to your garage. We figured out how to get a lot of it out of the ground. Win win win.

Propane is a bad idea, NG is good in ways.
High pressure pumps to fill tanks are gone, they used to be around here in Northern VA but now the stations removed them. People can barely pump gas let alone fill a pressurized tank. On the other side if you pull apart an NG engine after 20k miles it is still spotless inside, and the oil stays clean longer from what I have seen.

I'm not going to give any props to the Obama Administration for the demand growth for CNG as this is really the results of the Private Sector(as it should be). Though the current administration is all about solar energy, he said in his last State Of the Union speech that he would not stand in the way of CNG.http://www.worldcng.com/president-ob...union-address/

The St. Charles co-op gymnastics team will become the second Chronicle-area squad to compete in IHSA regionals when it travels to York Thursday night.
St. Charles is just a few weeks removed from registering a program-best team score of 146.8, eclipsing the previous best of 146.2 set in 1998.
"Our biggest goal right now is to go to state," Jesi Ortiz, a senior at St. Charles North, said recently. "And, you know, we haven't dropped yet. We just keep increasing our score."
On Tuesday, Batavia vaulters Megan McGee (fourth) and Courtney Glassman (fifth) moved on from the Glenbard West Regional to the Feb. 5 sectional that also will be held at West. Senior Sarah Ganster advanced in the all-around.
Geneva is set to host its own regional Friday. Any St. Charles and Geneva qualifiers will join the Batavia group at the Glenbard West Sectional.

69 Pint Desiccant Dehumidifier
Description & Highlights
Ebac 79 Pint Desicant Dehumidifier
Lower humidity and prevent corrosion and mold growth with the Ebac 69 Pint Desiccant Dehumidifier (DD300). The smallest range of desiccant dehumidifiers by the manufacturer, the DD series features a compact, lightweight design intended for easy transportation and use in space-restricted areas. With a patented PPS Rotor, the DD300 unit incorporates 82% active desiccant silica gel to ensure quick drying - and continues operating at temperatures as low as -4° Fahrenheit. The unit incorporates a PTC heater to ensure maximum dryness is reached immediately and maintained constantly while the dehumidifier is in use.
Offering a variety of monitoring features and electronic controls, the DD300 comes with an hours run meter that displays running time and an anameter that gauges the unit's drying effectiveness. Spigot connectors allow for quick and easy installation, with anti-vibration rubber feet and carrying handles for easy transport by one person. With a high-grade stainless steel construction, the DD300 is designed to remain rust-free, ensuring high performance and a long life.
Unlike condensation and refrigeration-style dehumidifiers, desiccant dehumidifiers use desiccant: a silica gel that is an extremely effective drying agent. Since desiccant-based humidifers do not produce water, they perform exceptionally well when used in cooler climates, or when a low dewpoint, deep drying or low humidity levels are required - and continue to work effectively down to sub zero temperatures.Desiccant dehumidifiers operate by drawing outside air into the dehumidifier, then processing it by passing it over a wheel containing desiccant silica gel - a powerful drying agent. As the air passes over the wheel, any moisture present is absorbed into the silica gel before it leaves the dehumidifier as warm, dry air. As the silica gel wheel continues to rotate, a small segment of air passes through a second phase of regeneration. During this phase, a second air stream is heated to a high temperature before passing over the wheel - releasing moisture into this air stream and exhausting warm, wet regenerated air outside the area being dried.

For a fantasy swords and magic RPG played in first person or a first person/third person hybrid. As such it has heavy emphasis on melee combat, inventory usage (potions, scrolls, etc) and special abilities. I'm also thinking of breaking away from the typical norm of PC FPS by doing this scheme as once was recommended to me.
Movement = EDSF as apposed to WSAD was wondering if this would be very confusing for players?
Otherwise things are pretty standard.
Look = Mouse
Jump = Space
Crouch = Ctrl
Run = Shift + Direction
Auto-Run = Caps Lock
The other thing is combat control
Primary Action = Left Mouse
Secondary Action = Right Mouse
Where primary will be the typical 'swing your sword' 'shoot an arrow' 'cast a spell' and secondary I envisage as such things as 'Change from one to two handed sword grip' 'Zoom in for sniper shot with bow' 'change heal spell from self heal to heal other' etc.
Since right click is often the 'block' button in a number of action melee I went with this.
Block/Guard = G
Given that is close to the movement keys does that make it a fluid part of combat? combined with the mouse?
Interact = A
In the same method the base interaction key (open doors, talk, pickup item, search body) is A since that is freed up from movement.
The other thing that came to mind is the quick access of inventory items and abilities.
Abilities cover a range of things from special attacks, spells, gestures, etc ... and use the ability hotkeys z, x, c, v, b.
Inventory has its own hotkeys 1-0
I was considering having , and . (< >) as a way to cycle through hotkey setups ... so you could have a hotkey bar setup for combat, one for magic, one for conversation, etc and simple cycle through them. The ? key possibly acting as a 'context' on off feature that pops up the most appropriate hotkey bar for the situation.
I'm also considering some additional inventory hotkeys in the form of W and R say for primary and secondary weapons.
For the most part that is all the main keys I can think of apart from those that open inventory, maps, quests, etc ... but those I feel can usually be spread out abit more freely.
Can you guys see any problems? have any suggestions? what I should add?

It started to pour rain tonight just as I sat down in goose blind tonight. After an hour of getting soaked I headed home. A garage sale sign so since so early I stopped in. They had a whole lotta of of outdoor gear and a list of shotguns for sale.
I've been looking at montifeltro 20 ga, 3 inch, for pheasants. it was on the list. $850 no tax of course. They will be there again tomorrow. Oh and also it's a 90
I'm thinking $825, what do you goes think? It's looks very lightly used, he said maybe a case of shells through it at the most.
Thanks, Maria

Beyonce and Kim Kardashian were both at the Budweiser Made In America festival in Philadelphia, but onlookers claim neither spoke to the other!
PHOTOS: Kim K Spends Time With Her Boyfriend Ye On Instagram
According to reports, Beyonce kept Kim K. at bay during the time their significant others shared the stage. Both women watched the show from opposite sides of the stage.
A source told the Daily News:
"Kim and Beyonce barely spoke to each other." Adding, "They were on opposite sides of the stage. Beyonce didn't even acknowledge [Kardashian] was there until the concert was almost over."
We know that Beyonce kept a low profile during Day 1, so while festival-goers got a healthy share of Jay-Z spottings, Beyonce was hard to find.
PHOTOS: Kim and Yeezy Stop By Made In America Festival
The source also points out that Kim wasn't trying to be too friendly either:
"(Kardashian) didn't make any efforts to go speak to Beyonce either," the source says. Instead, she spent her time hanging out with best friend Jonathan Cheban and West, when he wasn't performing.
Eventually, the women "made small talk in the dressing room, but you could tell Kim was uncomfortable. She clung onto Kanye the entire time and didn't say much," according to a second source.
"(Kardashian) was talking to Jonathan, and Kanye was talking to Jay-Z and Beyonce," the insider says, adding that Kardashian did tell Jay-Z how much she loved his show.
At the end of the day, this sounds like the source just wants to build some drama where there is none. Kim has her crew and Beyonce had hers, so them ending up on different sides of the stage was a matter of logistics. Both of the divas couldn't possibly have shared the same small friends area that was allocated on the sides of the stage!
Either way, the rumor is nothing that Kanye West can't settle with a little bit of shopping. Check out the pictures of KimYe shopping in Soho before the fest.

MANUFACTURER: Leica
Review This Item
The LEICA 10x42 Geovid BRF Laser Rangefinder Binoculars, Yards (40039) are truly professional orientation tools. They are the first high-performance binoculars to feature an integrated laser rangefinder with a range of up to 1,300 yds. This powerful Geovid is well suited for detail-oriented observations and precision measurements over great distances.
These laser rangefinder binoculars are ideal for stalking and treestands. They bring unmatched compactness, reduced weight and greater speed to those decisive hunting moments. Their excellent optics give you an unrivaled sight picture at dawn and desk, allowing you a commanding view of animals near and far.
The Geovid BRF model will accompany you through thick and thin. The housing is made of cast aluminum not only to reduce weight but also for its special robustness. It is filled with nitrogen to eliminate fogging-up of the lenses. The precise processing typical for Leica guarantees that Leica Geovid BRF remains fully operational even during inclement weather conditions - even down to five metres deep in water (16.5 ft).
A Geovid always tells you exactly how far away you are from your target. Despite the rangefinder, the Geovids are no larger than traditional binoculars. With their robust design and non-slip rubber armoring they are also well prepared for the toughest orientation challenges in open country.
These binoculars combine the functions "observing" and "measuring" with optical and electronic performance. With their handiness, the robust construction and the secure feeling of the rubber armoring, the 10x42 model also meets the toughest challenges that hunters, forester, engineers or sailors have to face.
The Geovid BRF features high light transmission made possible by the most modern multiple layer coating technology. Regardless if twilight or at greater distances, thanks to the high optical performance you have everything in sight.

I know it may sound odd but does anyone do anything to sterilize their bumpers? I wash them under clean hot tap water after use. I wouldn't think anything else is nessecary but thought I might as well ask. Thanks, Jim

Probably a good idea, but I hate to admit I go years between cleaning my bumpers, and then only when they are so dirty they are hard for the dog to see.
I was gonna ask about a dilution of bleach, but I was just worried it would get the dog sick. I am one of those people who worry about the small details, and usually the worries are over thought. I was thinking about this and thought maybe it was something everyone did and I just wasn't aware of. I was mainly worried if I did not disinfect them my pup might get sick? Thanks for the replys, I think they will get cleaned tommorow.
My dogs eat rotten salmon and moose poop. Nope, never have sterilized my bumpers. Don
Of all the things to worry about with our dogs sanitizing bumpers is at the bottom of the list, I would worry more about alien abduction.
Eaxctly what Dr. Ed. says. If you're worrying about sanitizing bumpers you don't have enough going on in your life. Buy a couple more dogs!
I've been wondering lately about the potential for disease spread through shared bumpers and birds.
It seems to me that one sick dog slobbering on a bird at a test or trial has the potential to infect a lot of dogs.
Sick dog slobbers on his flyer, flyer gets stuffed into a bag of birds that are reused over and over again, germy slobber distributed among many a bird retrieved by many a dog...
What say you, EdA, and other vets? I looked but could find nothing about fomites spreading disease such as Bordatella.
