Mark I actually live in Crystal, South of 694 and between 169 & 100, and I would love to hook up with a NWTF chapter. If you could PM me with some details I would try my best to attend a NWTF banquet. Also was any certain reason you are waiting until season G to go hunting in MN? i.e. other hunts going on or were you unsuccessful in the drawing? What do you think of the new zones this year? I personally love the new zones! With the previous zone layout I had accessible land in two different zones which always made hunting tough because no matter what side you were on you always saw and heard birds from the other side.
Good luck on the hunt this weekend and try to stay cool.

Awesome! thanks for sharing!

Hey, this actually looks good!
I'm very into animationfilms and I was a little worried about the animation itself, because that wasn't the strongest point of funny 'Ice Age'. 'Robots' was more detailed but nothing breathtaking, ya know. But here they have the world of Dr. Seuss coming alive and those shots in the trailer are realy beautiful.
Also I have the feeling the characters are a bit based on the voice-actors. That Who actually did remind me of Steve Carell with those reactions and the elephant actually did remind me of Jim Carrey when that character moves his hands (well...) and stuff.
And I have confidence in the story. Dreamworks (for example) is realy letting me down time after time with those stupid endless wink-jokes and weak stories. (exept for 'Wallace & Gromit' -genieus Aardman- and 'Flushed Away' -Aardman again-) Those guys just don't get it, it's not about the names of the voices. This Dr. Seuss offers a lot ... I have the feeling 'Blue Sky' will make this work. The comedic scenes for 'Ice Age' were very good written and original.
I'm realy lookin' forward to this! (Ow, I did recognize Jim's voice, he has this tone, you know, you can hear it in every voice he does)

Peek behind the curtain of the PS3 adventure that'll leave your head spinning.
Actors are locked in intense rehearsals, the set design is being finalised and before too long the theatre will be filled with the excited murmuring of an expectant audience. Yes, Japan Studio's magical fairy tale Puppeteer will tread the boards on PlayStation 3 in September 2013, and you can get a sneak preview of its strange, dark fantasy by watching the brand new story trailer over at PlayStation.Blog at blog.eu.playstation.com.
Here are some of the reasons why it'll take the stage by storm when the curtain is raised.
Bear-faced greed
As you'll see when you watch the latest Puppeteer trailer, the Moon Bear King is a bad-tempered so-and-so who never rests until he's made everyone's day a misery. Especially fond of turning naughty children into wooden puppets in his lunar lair, the Moon Bear King is a classic fairy tale villain, equal parts rage and insecurity, the kind of character who lurks in kids' minds long after their bedtime stories have ended. Whatever you do, don't call him Little Bear.
A cut above
Kidnapped and imprisoned on the moon, you play a young boy named Kutaro who manages to outwit the mighty Moon Bear King. In order to give yourself a fighting chance against the Moon Bear King's army, you do what no one else dared: steal the tyrant's sacred Calibrus scissors. These let you deftly snip a path through this eerie world, do away the Moon Bear King's fearsome generals and solve ingenious puzzles.
Follow your head
Having your head chomped off by a power-mad bear would normally spell pretty bad news. If your name is Kutaro, however, it proves a minor inconvenience. Not only do you outfox the Moon Bear King and make off with his prized Calibrus, you are able to mix and match new heads giving you some unique perspectives essential for problem-solving. With a bit of resourcefulness, you'll achieve what the unfortunate souls before you failed to: beat the Moon Bear King, win back your freedom and savour this theatre-inspired journey.
Get ready for your starring role in the performance of a lifetime when Puppeteer launches in September 2013. Until then, make sure you stay up to date with all the news right here at eu.playstation.com and at PlayStation.Blog at blog.eu.playstation.com.

Over the past decade, the financial industry has seen laws change, risk management strategies shift, and technologies evolve. In response, financial institutions have updated their business models, cost structures, geographic footprints, and even their leadership. Surprisingly, while most leaders agree that workforce planning is important, few are actually doing it. How can you take a systematic approach to workforce planning to get the people that will make your strategy happen?

RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys. I just shipped the rod out via UPS. Cortland gave me a return authorization number when I talked to them at the toll free customer service line (thanks John). They require a $5 check for return shipping & say it should not take long to get it back (we'll see).
RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
Greg- Last year I broke the mid section of my 3pc 10wt backwater at the top ferrule while fighting a fish. After calling Diamondback and getting referred to Cortland for their service number(for the repair)I sent the rod in and they replaced just the mid section. I noticed a slight difference in the casting of the rod(flexed alittle deeper into the butt) but the rod performs fine. It took about 2 weeks to get the rod back from the time I sent it in. ronl
RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
Greg -
I've been very lucky. Out of all the fly rods I've owned since I was a youngster I've only broken four. All were the fault of the user (me or client with clouser). When you consider the amount of use they have gotten over the years, that's a pretty good statement of the quality rod manufacturers put forward.
First was a Loomis IMX, I hit a branch on a roll cast. They promptly replaced the forward section (2pc) for $40 I think, never felt a difference from the first one to the replacement.
Next was 15 foot Spey rod from Sage. I had laid in on a driftwood log by the river and my then-young son was roughhousing with the dog. The dog got tangled in the flyline and dragged the rod down a bouldery bank. Sage didn't even charge shipping costs for some reason, and the replacement work is flawless.
2 additional rods that I provide for new learners ended up making visits to Bainbridge Island (Sage) for new top sections last season. They charged me $20 per rod, and the work is exceptional. On one rod they even replaced the old worn cork (a 12 year old RPL).
The way I see it, this is another reason to consider manufacturers who offer solid warranty service. The first reason to go with companies like Sage (name your favorite Co. here) is performance.
I did notice that the ferrule joint is tighter on one of the rods than it was before I broke the tip.
Good luck with your rod re-work, let us know how it turns out.
RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
I guess it depends on the rod and manufacturer. I know that companys like Scott and Winston serialize each rod and each section of the rod. They also messure the flex of each section and record that info. Should they get a broken rod returned, they can then match the flex of the new section to the rod.
The taper and flex of a particular rod is determined by the mandrel, in addition to the graphite and resins used. Designing and maintaining mandrels is the highest cost item for manufactures. Flex is also determined by where on the mandrel they start rolling the graphite.
Greg should feel no difference in the new sections of his rod when returned from Diamondback.
You will get a much faster and cost effective return if you ship it yourself. Although I will be happy to help you out anyway I can.
RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
Great question........here is my belief, although I am no expert on rods. My feeling is that the action is a combination of the material(type and thickness) and the taper. In the times I have sent rods back because they where broken, I have never seen or felt a difference in the action. I would suspect that they should be able to match the action and everything else preety darn close to exact........
Does anyone have some knowledge about the rod design and construction to respond ???
RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info. It looks like I'm going to have to send it in. The lady said that they would probably just replace the top third of the rod. Now with the top third coming from a different blank, could this affect the rod action, or are they all basically indentical?
RE:Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
I have had to send a Diamondback Rod back a few times due to breakage. Traditionally, they will only honor the warranty by sending it back to Vermont. You could still try the place where you bought it to see if they could do anything, but I think that will be a long shot. I would call Diamondback at 1-800-626-2970 and ask what time frames they would be looking at. By the way, they are now owned by Cortland.........
Good luck !
Broken Rod Club!!!!!!!!!!
After only a half season, my Diamond Backwater 3-piece, 9' 9-wght Rod broke this past Saturday while fishing Sandy Neck. Not landing a fish or casting a Clouser, but simply false casting. The rod 'shattered' right in the middle of the upper third piece, not near the ferrel, but just above the 4th guide from the top. I saw no sign of scratch or ding at or near the break point.
I have an email into DiamondBack asking what I need to do to get a replacement. Has anybody had any experience with Diamondback as far as getting a replacement? Can a local dealer such a Blue Northern help me out and/or speed things up? Any help/advice/information will be greatly appreciated.
D'OH, D'OH, D'OH, D'OH, D'OH, D'OH, Now I know how Roop felt that night on The Race with his St. Croix!!!!!!

A laceration is a wound produced by the tearing of body tissue. The skin is often involved. Unlike an incision with smooth edges, a laceration is often jagged and irregular.There can be variable degrees of damage to the underlying body tissue and structures depending on the depth and force of the trauma that caused the laceration. Minor trauma may damage the skin only. Major trauma may damage deeper muscles and tendons, or extend into the abdominal or chest cavities. The wound created by the laceration is frequently contaminated with debris and bacteria.
All lacerations have the potential for hemorrhage (bleeding) or infection.
Watch for lacerations associated with the following signs because your pet may require emergency treatment:
If a wound is deep, more than1 inch long or will not stop bleeding after 3 minutes of direct pressure applied get your dog to a vet right away. Minor lacerations can be controlled by appling direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or sponge. If the bleeding don't stop within 3 minutes of doing this get to the vet right away. Even if it does stop you should still have a vet check the area and clean it, suture may also be required. A vet is always the best place for advise and information!

Elk once freely roamed all over Pennsylvania but the rapid settlement and exploitation by early immigrants threatened the herds. By 1867 there were no more elk in Pennsylvania. Unregulated hunting and habitat loss were the biggest factors of their demise.
In 1913 the Pennsylvania Game Commission began reintroducing elk in Pennsylvania. The elk herd we know today originated from 177 elk that were trapped and transferred to northern areas of Pennsylvania.
The reintroduction of elk took place from 1913 through 1926. The releases in north-central Pennsylvania were successful and the herd now numbers more than 800.
Visitors can easily see the majestic elk in areas of Elk, Cameron, and Clearfield counties. Considered to be the heart of Pennsylvania elk country, the town of Benezette is located along State Route 555 in Elk County. To reach the public viewing area, start at the Benezette Hotel and travel north along Winslow Hill road 3.5 miles. Follow the signs to the viewing area. Elk can also be seen along the roadways in the free-roaming herd range located in Elk and Cameron counties. The Moore Hill area in Cameron County is a favored viewing spot of local elk enthusiasts.

Cow elk normally give birth to a single calf in late May or early June. The calves are speckled with spots to complete their natural camouflage. Twins are a rare occurrence and happen less than one percent of the time. Normal gestation period is approximately 8 1/2 months. After a short amount of time, the cows and their new calves rejoin their family units comprised of cows, their calves and immature yearlings. Most yearling bulls will only grow spike antlers.
The mature bull's antlers are fully grown by August and they now spend much of their time thrashing trees and shrubs with their antlers. Normal antler growth is up to 6 tines per side. A "royal" bull is one with a total of 12 points. An "imperial" bull has 14 points. September and October mark the mating season for the elk. While the beginning of the rut may vary somewhat from year to year, the unmistakable invitation of bugle of a bull elk can be heard echoing throughout the range. Bugling can be heard primarily during the rut or mating season. It starts as a low bellow and continues as a squealing or whistle. This is followed by several grunts.
The elk form harems of 15 to 20 cows, which are controlled by a mature bull. The bull has earned his status to lead his harem by fighting off lesser bulls for the opportunity to breed with these cows. Lesser bulls often mate also, the large bull will contain the group and be the prime breeder. These harems remain together for the duration of the breeding season. Cow elk are receptive to breeding for only about an 18-hour period. If they are not bred successfully, they will have two or three breeding cycles at 21-day intervals.
The elk remain in large groups throughout the winter months. They must dig through the snow to find grass, twigs and buds. They will eat the bark off trees and drink from the streams to sustain for the winter. The bulls loose their antlers in the late winter or early spring.
Pennsylvania's elk range covers approximately 835 square miles in parts of Elk, Cameron, Clearfield, Clinton and Potter counties.
Opened in September 2010, the Elk Country Visitor Center sits on 245 acres on Winslow Hill in Benezette. The area is home to the largest elk herd in the northeastern United States. The 8,400 square foot eco-friendly building has a stone fireplace to greet visitors and a panorama of windows looking out on the elk viewing areas. It also features a 4-D theater presenting a multimedia experience that will immerse you in the sights, sounds and smells of a mixed hardwood forest and the natural world of the elk. There is also a gift shop, observation areas and viewing blinds. Experience the elk on a horse-drawn wagon ride!
Seeing an elk for the first time is an extraordinary experience and something you will never forget!

Yay! Patch 46 Commentaried.
Patch 46 handles the additions we make to the /proc filesystem for administrating the local nodes, and telling the system to send processes remote. Its in reasonable shape, only requiring minor cleanup.
Things between me and what used to be my workplace have completely fallen apart, which is actually a good thing. I'm *SO* relieved, its not funny. I'm still trying to put together my next job. It seems like every time I almost get everything straightened out, they put another hurdle in front of me.
One of my users has done a semi-hackish job of porting LinuxPMI to 184.108.40.206. Now I have another 13,000 lines of kernel patch to go through. Its still early in the development process, but its nice to have a more modern kernel to go through. I'll continue trying to make the 2.6.17 branch healthy, while keeping the 22.214.171.124 branch tracking something a bit more current. I'm glad I've been getting better at this commentarying of kernel patches. Hopefully, it doesn't take me another year to go through this patch. ;)

Temples of Angkor
On our first full day in Siem Reap, we decided to take to the temples on two wheels; bicycles provided by our hotel. A narrow paved road flanked by red dirt shoulders and forest links these ancient cities and monuments. Being still the week of Chinese New Year, the way was crowded with Cambodian tuk-tuks (motorbike-drawn rickshaws), cars and buses of all sizes. The traffic here is perhaps best described as organized chaos; relative speed and right of weight dictate your pace.
Our first stop was of course Angkor Wat, the most famous temple of them all, built in the 12th century. We were awe-struck from the moment we laid eyes on it just beyond the surrounding moat with the blistering sun high in the sky again. The scale of the structures alone is enormous, not to mention that the huge sandstone blocks used to build them were floated 50 km down the river to the site
Cycling a few kms north took us through the south gate of Angkor Thom, a huge fortified city that was home to one million people when London had only 50,000, according to Lonely Planet. Inside, the well-photographed Bayon revealed its 54 towers with 216 giant human faces looking down from all four directions.
Over six hours and two hundred photos later we arrived back at our hotel, tired but looking forward to exploring more of Angkor's temples in the coming days.
Day 2 (January 29)
Sunrise at Angkor Wat has become one of the main attractions around here. We hired a tuk-tuk for the day, hopped on at 5:00 am and sat or stood among many a tourist for an hour and a half. The beauty of the temple's towers reflected in the pool was somewhat obscured by clouds, but we still enjoyed the experience.
From there we were driven back to Angkor Thom to see the Baphuon (the world's largest jigsaw puzzle), Terrace of the Elephants, Terrace of the Leper King, followed by several more distant temples and finally Ta Prohm, a temple crumbling from the weight and growth pattern of the roots of centuries-old trees that still soar to the sky.
Feeling satisfied with our Temples of Angkor adventures, we headed 'home' to organize more of our pictures, after a quick dip in the pool of course.

Wells Fargo's Maynard Um and his team have a note out today dissecting the fourth quarter for IT hardware and wireless equipment for trends. They write that corporations refreshing their PCs helped stabilize demand in that industry, while demand for printers also grew. On the other hand, they write that servers saw mixed demand, and demand for storage looked soft, as did demand for high-end smartphones, which they saw as decelerating.
Read highlights from the note below:
PC declines moderated helped by corporate strength. IDC and Gartner reported a 5.6% and 6.9% yr/yr decline in Q4 PC shipments, driven by corporate strength, improving economy and favorable currency (JPY). Intel (INTC) noted 3% yr/yr growth in PC shipments (upside in mature market desktops and in-line notebooks) and stable ASPs. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) noted good desktop processor demand (third straight quarter of revenue growth) but consumer notebooks remained soft and another 10% decline in the PC market is expected in 2014. The top two PC vendors Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) noted 9% and 6% yr/yr shipment growth. Hhgregg's (HGG) results were below expectations due to lower notebook demand and lower tablet ASPs. That said, we continue to believe corporate PCs could taper into H2 and see emerging market macro and limited consumer visibility as a risk to unit sales. IDC lowered its PC unit forecast to 6% decline versus prior 4% for these reasons.
Printer demand continues to see some strengthening. Lexmark's revenue was at the high-end of its guidance, driven by strong growth in managed print services and in laser supplies. Laser hardware units were up 4% yr/yr. HP's commercial hardware units were up 6% yr/yr and consumer up 4% as the company continued to make progress with its unit placement strategy (third straight quarter of growth driven by strong laser demand). Xerox (XRX) results were mixed, with 4% yr/yr revenue decline with strength in U.S. offset by weakness in developing markets. Canon noted the laser market continued to steadily recover.
Modest improvement in server demand. Distributor Arrow Electronics (ARW) noted slight yr/yr growth in servers while Avnet (AVT) saw moderate growth driven by industry standard servers (ISS) and proprietary servers. HP saw 6% yr/yr growth in ISS, driven by strength in hyperscale while International Business Machines' (IBM) x86 server sales declined 16%. Intel saw 1% unit growth in the data center segment driven by cloud, storage, HPC, and networking, but enterprise server demand was slightly less than expectations due to OEM's clearing some inventories and tapering of gov't spend. UNIX servers were weak (IBM system p sales were down 31% yr/yr and HP's BCS revenue down about 26%).
Storage demand appears to be soft. Overall storage demand appears to be somewhat soft despite some year-end strength. EMC (EMC) saw strong year-end demand but guidance was muted. NetApp's (NTAP) January quarter revenue and April guidance was below expectations. HP's storage sales were about flat yr/yr and IBM saw 12% decline at constant currency. Distributors ARW and AVT reported strong storage sales, but this could be partly due to addition of new vendors.

Back when actual Tupperware was only sold by consultants at parties and there were no knock-off brands of the same anywhere to be found, the refrigerators of my youth were populated by heavy glass containers called CorningWare, a trademarked name that owns a patch of real estate in my brain still today.
While visions of white glass bowls with little blue designs on them might not spark many outdoor memories, I can assure you much of our time spent outdoors was occupied by thinking of what was in those dishes back home.
One of those refrigerators was in the kitchen of Thomas and Eunice Kennedy, of the Brewer community, and I was happy to know I was always welcome to help myself. Mr. Thomas was one of my mentors in the outdoors and in life, part of the group of my Old Men I write about often and think about every day.
He was a character in every sense of the word, and the hero of countless stories I still enjoy retelling with his grandsons and the friends who knew him, and with many others who know him only through the tales all the rest of us have told many times.
Mrs. Eunice was the saint who put up with him, and one who enjoyed cooking for a large, extended family at any opportunity.
What Mr. Thomas hunted was rabbits, he kept a fair-sized pack of beagles of varying tempers and dubious reputations for that purpose, and his oldest grandson and I spent hundreds of hours listening to them run and doing our best to head off the chase.
After we'd called it a day, returned the dogs to their kennel and cleaned the result of the hunt, we'd see what was in the refrigerator, and the resulting cornucopia was always a happy find.
Prior to eating in Mrs. Eunice's kitchen I'd never supposed you could stack one lidded CorningWare bowl on top of another, but the patrons of her refrigerator went one better and put another one on top of that, so every foray for seconds became a high-stakes game of Jenga. As far as I know, though, deep dish disaster never struck, doubtless owing to the divine nature of what each held inside.
Mrs. Eunice passed away earlier this week and Mr. Thomas has been gone for a long time, but those days will always be alive in my heart.
Whenever I need a laugh or a smile or a helping of wit or wisdom, it's nice to know there's somewhere I'm always welcome to go, open the door, and help myself.

Same story at the Potomac Mills WalMart. Looks like they only put out 1 case.
I bought the last of them at wl-mart frederick.
Yep, they showed up in Eldersburg and Westminster, too.
Found all 3 cantina sets at Bowie Wal-Mart, Glen Burnie Wal-Marts had 'em except for Greedo...they're probably gone now. Our Toys 'R' Us's have had zippo...unless I'm too late. All I ever see new is the X-wing w/R2.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Germantown WM had cantina sets in stock this afternoon again.
Clinton Walmart - All the Star Wars figures were hidden in the clearance aisle, but were not on clearance. Only new figs were Deluxe Anakin and Nexu.
Clinton Toys R Us - 12 X-wings, 5 Landspeeders. No new figures.
Bowie Walmart - I found Momaw Nadon and Pondo Baba, 1 each left. No Greedo.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
Unleashed Anakin and Vader are now available at the Fair Oaks KB Toys.
If Yoda is capable of kicking someone's @$$, imagine what a muppet could do!
Happy Labor Day! Glen Burnie Toys 'R' Us must have had Luke/Landspeeder in back till they got to it. They put out four on 9/2 AM.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
The Gaithersburg Target today had 1 Electronic R2-D2, as well as the 12" Zam and Super Battle Droid.

By David Brandt/The Associated Press
HATTIESBURG — Southern Miss whipped the ball around the perimeter until Jerrold Brooks found Dwayne Davis standing all alone in the corner behind the 3-point line.
The way Davis has been playing lately, there was no doubt what was going to happen next.
The 6-foot-5 guard caught Brooks' pass, took his time, and drilled a 3-pointer to thwart a final Central Florida rally and lead the Golden Eagles to a 70-62 victory on Saturday night at Reed Green Coliseum.
Davis poured in 34 points in the win, just three days after dumping a career-high 35 points on Marshall. He's averaging 28 points per game over his past four contests — shooting 36 of 61 (59 percent) from the field during that span.
"He's one of those unique guys who has ways to get the ball in the hole," Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall said. "Sometimes it's posting, sometimes it's falling away and sometimes it's double pumping. He's a scorer. It's not always pretty, but he finds a way to get the ball in the goal."
Southern Miss (23-8, 12-4 Conference USA) has secured the second seed in next week's league tournament. The Golden Eagles have won five of their past seven games.
Davis dazzled in his final home game, shooting 9 of 15 from the field, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range and also 12 of 12 on free throws. He leads the team with 16 points per game this season, but has been even better of late.
Davis is playing his only season of Division I basketball after a journeyman's career that has included four stops. He nearly gave up hoops last year after missing his junior season because of academic issues, but stayed with the Golden Eagles.
"It's a wonderful feeling," Davis said. "… I guess dreams do come true. All the credit goes to my teammates for finding me all year."
Central Florida (20-11, 9-7) ends its season with the loss. The Knights are ineligible for the postseason because of NCAA sanctions. Isaiah Sykes led UCF with 22 points and 11 rebounds.
The game was tight early, but Southern Miss slowly pulled away for a 33-23 halftime advantage. Davis led the Golden Eagles with 14 points on his usual array of 3-pointers and drives to the basket. It's the first time a Southern Miss player has scored 30 points in back-to-back games since 2002.
Southern Miss pushed its lead to 42-28 with 16:41 remaining, but Central Florida slowly chipped away and a 3-pointer by Sykes brought the Knights within 54-53 with 6:25 left.
Central Florida couldn't get any closer. Southern Miss scored the next five points and held on to avenge a 60-58 loss to the Knights in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 6.
"We didn't come out with the intensity we needed to have from the beginning," Central Florida forward Keith Clanton said. "It's not what happened at the end of the game. We gave effort. But early, we got down by a quick 10 and then it was tough to recover."
Kasey Wilson added 11 points and four rebounds for Central Florida, which won 20 games despite knowing it wouldn't be eligible for the postseason. Central Florida had a 41-33 rebounding advantage, including 21 offensive rebounds, but shot just 21 of 62 (33.9 percent) from the field.
Southern Miss forced Central Florida into 14 turnovers and made 26 of 33 (78.8 percent) free-throw attempts.
The win helps the Golden Eagles' NCAA tournament resume, though they still appear a longshot to make the 68-team field with an at-large bid. The only certain way into the bracket is by winning next week's Conference USA tournament in Tulsa, Okla.
That road will likely go through Memphis — a team that has beaten Southern Miss twice this season.

RFC2440 is going ok. The Cryptix code is very well written, but I am going to take a different tact when parsing S2K's. I will have two passes. One for root level packet unloading and parsing, and then, when S2K constructs are encountered, a second pass will do the prompting/password getting. I don't want to do in-line, one pass processing. Two passes should be fine, and amenable for a message manager object which will analyze the first pass, and then drive the second pass.
Anyway...almost all packets are "handled". Tsuuh...what ever that means...basically, it compiles, but nothing is driving it yet. :) For ripping from Cryptix, I'm admittedly slow...but anyway...
Recently, on New Year's Eve, I spoke to Darius and we had a great conversation. I basically reiterated my thoughts on the hierarchy on techies: Some people can do my job, but I can't do their's :) Take for instance those hardware guys...for me...as a software engineer...I'm so distant from it..but in my experiences, I have met some AMAZING people who not only build hardware, and have an intimate understanding of the metal, but they also write their own software on top of it. So, if you know hardware, AND you can program your own software on top of it, YOU RULE SO HARD!!!!!!!
Hope you had a good new year's eve. My resolution is to work up the chain, just a little higher :) --josh

What are Sweet Somethings?
Sweet Somethings are beautiful handmade wet felted hollow eggs in lovely pastel Easter and spring-friendly colors, embellished with a variety of natural fibers and filled with a spring green 11″ Fairy Silkie (play silk toy) and an adorable Itty Bitty Critter that your child will love.
A Fun Surprise
Each little egg is secured closed with a hand-dyed silk ribbon which is stitched to the back. This makes these eggs not only perfect for Easter basket surprises, but also a fun decoration for a festive Easter tree.
Custom Sweet Somethings
Beneath the Rowan Tree will soon be listing one-of-a-kind, ready-to-ship Sweet Somethings, but you do have an opportunity to snag one before that, which allows you to customize your own eggs. If you order early, the partial custom choices you get include the following:
- You choose a base color for your egg.
- You choose one tiny and cute Critter per egg.
- You choose a design for your egg: Daisy, Polka Dot, Rainbow, Floral or Stars are available for pre-order.

Non-Plastic & Reusable
Sweet Somethings are a perfect eco-friendly all natural alternative to boring old NOT eco-friendly plastic eggs. Also, you can stuff each egg anew each Easter, making this a renewable Easter treat.
Affordable Easter Fun
These sweet sugar-free treats are incredibly affordable, especially when you consider that each egg is really three lovely gifts in one. Remember, to ensure a timely Easter delivery, you will need to order soon because Beneath the Rowan Tree will need about 3-4 weeks to complete your custom eggs.

And no, it's not because they're in naughty places — they're all in plain sight if you know where to look, including her new inexplicable Billy Joel tattoo. They seem to be indicative of high or low (mostly low) points in the star's career and personal life, where she often thinks she's on top when things are going haywire, or she makes a big deal out of small setbacks. With that in mind, we inspect LiLo's body art, from girly hearts and stars to pretentious quotes.

It's Mexican Independence day! To me, this is a bittersweet holiday. Yes, it marks Mexico proclaiming itself a sovereign nation. On the other hand, the country is enslaved by the cartels. Right across the border, just a few miles from where I wright this, two people were tortured and publicly displayed for writing negative things about the Zetas. We have a long way to go, but I'd like to start by ending this stupid war on drugs.
And speaking of things that were probably influenced by drugs, let's get some links out there and catch up with the week's stories.
- Clint Eastwood doesn't care who you marry. He also managed to make himself even more awesome.
- I have my reservations about the new Star Wars blu-rays. On the other hand, this promo featuring famous people reenacting classic scenes is hilarious. And Vader gets the best treatment, especially at about 2:14.
- Speaking of Star Wars, here's a 43,000 piece Lego Venerator-class Star Destroyer.
- To all the new freshmen in college, please, for the love of Bob, don't do this.
- And speaking of bad decisions, could celebrities please stop taking naked pics of themselves with their phones? You, the thing that can be hacked? Unlike that camera that you need to physically get to retrieve said pictures? The reaction to Scarlet Johansson's leaked nude pics has ranged from everything from an FBI investigation to the internet having a collective seizure. Because the internet, as you know, has been seen naked boobs and butt.
- Nancy Upton entered a contest for American Apparel. She satirized what I can only describe as really unflattering images of women that look like they need a sandwich. Her pics were… well, they were unique. She's confident, has a sense of humor about herself and the company, she looks wonderful and natural, and she won the contest by a large margin… and now American Apparel is saying they won't go with her because she's not targeting their demographic. Hypocrites, anyone?
- "Gordon Ramsay's Dwarf Porn Double Found Dead In A Badger Den." How do you NOT click on that link?!
- It turns out that reading fiction boosts your empathy. I just wish they'd used another book besides Twilight for the study.
- Global warming is doing a lot of things… but did you know that it's causing giant crabs to invade Antarctica? Be scared…
- Disney does not have the best record when it comes to acknowledging the audience's intelligence. However, some of their older animators didn't react too kindly to the higher-ups changing the name of a movie to make it more descriptive since audiences "might not get it." The result is pure sarcasm and gold.
- And finally, Nice Peter came out with another Epic Rap Battle. Mister Rogers all the way! Represent! And I'll see you all on Monday!

Contract electronics manufacturer Sanmina (SANM) this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue and EPS that topped analysts' expectations, and forecast this quarter's results roughly in line with consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in December fell 3%, year over year, to $1.45 billion, yielding EPS of 41 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $1.45 billion, and EPS of 38 cents.
CEO Jure Sola remarked that the results were "in line with our expectations," and that the company was "encouraged by our customers' forecasts, recent wins, and overall market improvements that will drive modest growth for fiscal 2014."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $1.43 billion to $1.48 billion, above a consensus for $1.44 billion. EPS is seen in a range of 36 cents to 42 cents, above analysts' average estimate for 37 cents.
Sanmina shares are up $1.11, or 7.5%, at $15.91.

With Bottle-Fillers in Mind, The Water Fountain Evolves
The basic drinking fountain—requiring you to bend over, press a button and slurp—was a steady seller for decades. Then, nearly 10 years ago, executives of Elkay Manufacturing Co. started noticing what they call "the airport dance."
More people were toting plastic water bottles. Rather than drinking from the fountain, they wanted to refill those jugs. It wasn't working.
The dance was a sort of shuffle done by travelers trying to tilt bottles at the proper angle for refilling without splashing water on their shoes.
Elkay, a family-owned maker of plumbing equipment based in Oak Brook, Ill., began rethinking the water fountain. In recent years, Elkay and rivals, including Haws Corp. and Oasis International, have introduced new types of fountains designed to refill bottles.
"We were really changing what a water cooler was," says Rod Magnuson, a product director at Elkay.
Water is more popular as Americans reduce consumption of high-calorie soft drinks. Tap and bottled water accounted for around 30% of the typical American's liquid intake last year, up from 16% two decades before, according to Beverage Marketing Corp., a consulting firm. Nearly half of that water came from taps, including drinking fountains.
But Americans are picky. Many consider fountains unsanitary. Though Elkay added antimicrobial agents to the mouth guards, fear of germs lingered.
Fountains also could be dangerous. In some schools, kids leaning down for a drink were shoved by bullies and ended up with broken teeth. Elkay introduced Flexi-Guard mouth guards made of plastic instead of steel, but that didn't entirely allay safety concerns. In focus groups, some women said bending over a fountain made them feel vulnerable, or the pose was unflattering.
Though Elkay knew fountains had to change, progress was slow. For one thing, the housing market was booming in 2004 and 2005, so the company was focused on developing new types of kitchen sinks.
There were also technical hurdles. Elkay executives thought filling a 16-ounce bottle should take less than 10 seconds to prevent boredom and distraction. According to an early participant in the project, an Elkay engineer said that was impossible, given the need to filter and chill the water.
Another engineer, Franco Savoni, who joined Elkay from an auto-parts company, was assigned to speed up the flow. Mr. Savoni and others devised a way to push the water through the filter, a block of carbon encased in plastic, more swiftly.
The result was a machine that fills 16 ounces in about five seconds if the water is at room temperature, or about seven seconds if it has to meander through refrigeration pipes on the way out. The traditional fountains needed at least 20 seconds.
To address germ fears, Elkay decided to let people use its new fountain, dubbed the EZH20, without touching it. When you set a bottle down under the spigot, an infrared sensor automatically turns on the flow. The user needs to pull the bottle away in time to avoid an overflow. That action stops the flow. If a daydreamer fails to pull the bottle away, the water automatically switches off after 20 seconds.
The nozzle is recessed behind a plastic protector to avoid contact with the bottle and a possible spreading of germs. The water comes out in what Elkay calls a "laminar" flow. That means it isn't aerated. (Kitchen and bathroom faucets typically inject air into the water flow to make the stream look fuller.) A laminar flow makes the water less likely to splash or pick up airborne bacteria, Mr. Magnuson says.
When the product was introduced about three years ago, Elkay noted that it baffled some people. So graphics were added to show how to use it.
One of the most inspired features is a digital counter, showing how many bottles have been filled. "I thought that was a dumb idea," says Jack Krecek, who spearheaded the EZH2O project before leaving Elkay to run another company. But the counter ended up helping "make this thing go viral," he says. College students liked showing how green they were by tracking how many plastic bottles had been kept out of landfills. Some held intra-campus competitions to see who could reuse the most bottles.
Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., began buying Elkay fountains after students campaigned against what they saw as plastic-bottle waste. The college has installed 49 of the devices and says more than 1.4 million plastic bottles have been refilled by them over the past two years. Incoming freshmen receive a free stainless-steel water bottle. David Rabold, capital projects manager at Muhlenberg, says sales of bottled water on campus have fallen 90% since EZH2O fountains were installed.
Elkay won't disclose sales of the new fountains—whose suggested retail prices range from about $700 to $2,075, depending on the model—but says they have been installed in hundreds of colleges and universities, as well as at least 15 airports, including Chicago's O'Hare and New York's LaGuardia.
As for old-style fountains, they are still around, including one near the desk of Elkay's receptionist, Sandy Huscher. She uses it to wash her apples.

Alot but not all of the problems we face today was because of policies enacted by the Bush administration. He had plenty of help with Democrats supporting these bills.
It's time we moved on from this and figure a way to fix this problem. I think Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership in the house should be ashamed of themselves for obviously putting forth a bill that was deeply flawed. I think Democracy served us well here because the Republicans at least yelled loudly enough that we are not going to be stuck with the original draft. In the end I think this bill will be better for it. Let's hope so.

Great read thanks for posting!
Ahhh Roger,the midnight dog trainer!!!!Thats all I`m saying. Jim
Damn good stories, lets hear some more!
"Do more than is required of you"
General George S. Patton
Anyway, he alway dressed very sharp... Pressed jeans with a crease down the middle. Harvey, for those that didn't know him was a small man. He alway seem to have a nice clean, ironed shirt on as well. And I recall his leather work gloves... Don't know why this made such an impression on me other than we didn't really have any pros in Alaska at the time and I was still fairly new to the game. I remember also that he drove a pickup and pulled a big dog trailer. I asked him why he used the trailer instead of having a dog truck. He told me there were times he liked to use his truck as a truck. We spent a fair bit of time talking about duck hunting... As I grew up in SC hunting flooded timber. And I think Harvey was from AL or MS (not sure) but he liked talking about hunting.
I had a real good qual level dog at that time( my first trial dog, later AFC GMHR) so we had a real friendly competition going the whole time he was up there. In two seasons and I think 10 trials I won one and placed in 8. Harvey won most of the rest with his various dogs that were on his truck! Back then, guys would still meet at a local watering hole for a drink or two after a trial... Winner buys at least the first round.
That died off a few years ago when drinking and driving became more of an issue to most of us. Also the game changed and most of the participants nowadays are so competitive, there is not near as much of the socializing after the trial. I'll bet canuckkiller, criquetpas, jd6400, Marvin, Dr Ed and others could really tell some tales if they were so inclined about some of the shenanigans of the 60's and 70's! Just from my start in the mid 80's I remember some pretty hilarious stuff that I can't repeat here because some of the offenders are still alive!
One of the funny ones though involved two inebriated guys crawling in the dark towards a buxom lass's room at a trialer's house we were staying at. Anyway, these two guys were crawling stealthily from different directions unbeknownst to the other in the dark... When at the door of the aforementioned "lady", they bumped head on into each other! One of them later married her. The other was a pro trainer. True story...

Take the traditional ingredients for a French classic with chicken, cheese, and ham and cook them together for great flavor and easy cleanup.
Cordon Bleu is a classic French preparation of thin slices of prosciutto and Gruyère cheese between two thin scallops of chicken or veal. The meat and cheese stack is breaded and sautéed. This casserole has similar ham, Swiss and chicken flavors.
In place of the peas, try frozen mixed vegetables or cut green beans. Or omit them from the casserole and serve a vegetable side dish.
Ready-to-eat salad greens tossed with tomato wedges and French dressing complete an easy dinner.

"TIME is but a parenthesis in eternity," as somebody (I always forget the sayers of grand things) grandly says; if so, what must each of our lives be? A parenthesis in a parenthesis, and a very short parenthesis too. Our life is but as a very little boat tossed on the sea of infinity; it is a small breathing space between the tussle with life at the beginning and the tussle with death at the ending. Poor little lives! What immeasurable self pity fills one, when one thinks of our poor little farthing rush‐lights, that often before they are half burnt, great Death blows out. And yet all our reflections and lamentations and moralizations on the brevity of our abiding here, does not do anything towards making one dull minute seem shorter, or greasing the wheels of one tedious hour.
Did the assured knowledge that my existence was but an imperceptible speck in the fields of space make that long long page: 302 road between Wilton Towers and Wentworth Park seem a quarter of a mile shorter that night? Not it. Endless appeared to me the lengths of moony turnpike, the wood‐shaded windings and twistings among Lord Stencliffe's great quiet oaks and beeches.
Whether it was all love and no champagne, or all champagne and no love, or half love and half champagne, or three quarters love and one quarter champagne, or one quarter love and three quarters champagne, I cannot say; but certain it is that Hugh became inconveniently tender—tender in the moonlight, tenderer far in the shade. I, in my own mind, ascribed an undue preponderance to the champagne element, and suffered agonies of apprehension lest the grooms behind should overhear his amorous platitudes.
"How poetical," I said, sardonically.
"No, it isn't poetical, I know. I'm not up to the dodge of poetry. I don't go in for those kind of things. I would though, if it would make you like me any better."
Cupid and the vintage of Epernai have infused a certain sentimentality into the dark middle‐aged eyes that contemplate me.
"How soon shall we be home?" I ask, abruptly, looking at him discomfortably, and thinking how plain the crow's feet come out in the moonlight.
"Home! Why we've hardly set out yet. We haven't got to the fourth milestone by Thorny Hill, you know!"
"Haven't we?"
"What are you in such a hurry to get home for! I feel as if I should not mind going spinning along here for ever behind such tidy cattle and with you beside me!"
As he speaks we reach a toll‐gate, and the sleepy toll‐keeper descends in a slight and sketchy attire, suitable for the wooing of Morpheus, opens the gate for us, and shuts it again behind us. We are coming to a part of the road which runs parallel page: 304 to the railway for a quarter of a mile. Rather a dangerous bit of road, for this reason, there is but a narrow strip of field intervening between it and the line; and people with fidgetty horses have found before now the disadvantage of such close proximity to a possible locomotive, at full speed.
We are going along at a spanking trot through the dumb May night; there is not a sound but what we make ourselves. Suddenly the sharp shriek of an engine, as it issues from the tunnel through the Marston Hill at our backs, cuts the stillness.
"Hang it!" says Hugh, "there's a train coming. I hope to God they won't bolt!"
I turn my head, and see the great dim bulk, with the red lamps at the buffers like glaring eyes, devouring space a hundred yards behind us. Then it comes roaring, puffing, thundering by. For a second the chestnuts stop and stand motionless, shivering with terror; then quick as thought, as lightning, they wheel right round. Snap goes the pole, and off we go, tearing down the road we have just come along. The page: 305 broken pole swings to and fro, kicking and banging against their legs, goading them to madness; thud, thud, come the off mare's heels against the splash‐board.
"Damn," says Hugh, under his breath. "Sit still, Nell!"
No need to give me that injunction. I could not budge an inch if I was to be shot for it. Stock still I sit there, clutching the side of the dog‐cart with one hand. The elm tree boles flash by, white in the moonlight; past race the dim harebell carpets beneath them; past rush the hawthorn‐crowned hedges. We are nearing the toll‐gate.
"By G—," says Hugh, hoarsely, "the gate's shut!"
I see him setting his teeth; he plants his feet against the splash‐board, and pulls with all the force of his strong wrists. I see the veins rise in knotted cords on his hands, in the intensity of his exertions. To no purpose; there is no perceptible diminution of their mad speed! With heads down and mouths like iron, on they rush; in two minutes we shall be crashing into the gate, knocked to smithereens probably. page: 306 Suddenly Hugh gives one vigorous tug to the right rein; I see what is coming, and stretch out my hand involuntarily to clutch him—to clutch anything—then—smash we go into the hedge bank.
When I discover myself again, for my body has outrun my spirit, I find myself standing on my head in a clump of violets. I reverse myself as soon as possible, that is to say, I return to the position nature intended for me, and erect myself upon my legs again. I look about me, but at first am too giddy to make out anything; everything goes whirling round, and there is a buzzing, surging sound in my ears.
Then I see Hugh likewise picking himself up from among the thorny hedge, where he has been making his downy bed. Down the road the horses go, galloping wildly, dragging the dog‐cart on its side along with them. In the ditch sprawls one groom, rather stunned, and from the field on the other side comes the voice of the other, shouting a doleful inquiry as to whether we are killed. Hugh comes staggering, rather dizzily, over to me.page: 307
"Are you hurt, Nell?" (very anxiously), no trace of champagne.
"No—o—o, I think not. I—I—believe I'm going—to—to—die!"
I have a recollection of the aghastness of Hugh's countenance at this announcement; then a vision of his arms stretched out, and my tumbling into them, and then my spirit went away for a space, as spirits will sometimes, though whither they go has never, by ancients or moderns, been satisfactorily explained.
As soon as my soul comes back from that trip—how long it is absent I know not—I begin to sneeze violently, and my eyes water profusely, which is the less to be wondered at, as I find a very large bottle of strongest salts held right under my nose, and sending its pungent vapours up my nostrils. I push it away, and look about me. I am in a room I never was in before, an inn parlour evidently; a small room where stalest tobacco and stalest beer contend for kingship over the dominion of smell; a very big‐patterned brown and yellow paper on the walls; Lord Stencliffe in a cocked hat and red page: 308 coat, and with a battle furiouser than Armageddon, of which he is apparently unaware, raging behind him, over the chimneypiece; Adam and Eve au naturel, over the sideboard; the woman of Samaria, very embonpoint, in a corner; a broken lustre and two crockery lambs on the mantleshelf, and three or four horse‐hair chairs.
I myself am lying on a very hard horse‐hair sofa; a tidyish elderly woman is standing over me, brandishing a brandy bottle, and oh horror! oh shame! oh infamy! Hugh's arm is under my head, and his face with the middle‐aged eyes and the crow's feet—his face—its mahogany streaked with blood, is within two inches of my nose; he is hanging over me like a mother over her baby.
"Feel better?" he asks, concernedly.
Instantly I struggle into a sitting posture.
"Yes, thanks, I'm all right again now, I think; hadn't we better be going home? is the carriage mended?"
Hugh laughs.page: 309
"Mended! not exactly! I have not heard tale or tidings of it yet; if the traces have not broken, it's some way beyond Wilton by now, I should think. I have sent Jackson after those brutes, but I'm hanged if I know when he'll be back again.
I gaze blankly at him.
"How are we to get home then?"
"Ay, that's the rub," he says; "they have not got any sort of a trap that can take us here. I've sent Smith (he was the other groom) walking to Wentworth, and I told him to go as quick as he could, and get them to send the brougham for us."
"How soon can it come?"
He takes out his watch and calculates.
"He's been gone about a quarter of an hour, and it's five minutes past ten now, and it's eight miles good to Wentworth—an hour and a half, two hours and a half—three hours; it may be here in three hours, that is, if he ever gets there; but he was rather muzzy when we left Wilton, and that spill has obfuscated his intellects still further, I'm afraid."page: 310
The calmly, cheerful way in which Sir Hugh makes this promising statement roiles me—to use a word sanctioned by Clarendon, though fallen from its first estate now—considerably.
"If you thought there was a doubt about his getting there, why on earth didn't you go yourself?" snapped I.
"And leave you?" says Hugh, reproachfully, still kneeling beside me.
Neither words, tone, nor attitude are lost upon the goodwife, as I see. She coughs a little, and looks or makes as though she is looking towards the plump Samaritan dame in the corner. I vault from the sofa, as if the spirit of a flea had passed into me, and walk across the room; my legs feel stiff and sore, and I experience an inward longing that Hugh would have the sense to leave the room, and enable me to examine into the number and extent of my casualties.
"Won't the lady take anything?" asks the female Boniface, demurely.
The lady declines, but the gentleman says—
"Take anything! of course she will! page: 311 Why, it'll be hours before we get home again; bring in some tea directly, and something to eat; chops, or ham and eggs, or anything, it does not matter what, and—have you got any decent beer?"
When did an Englishman forget to pay his orisons to his great and beneficent god, malt liquor? Of course they have decent beer, more than decent, admirable beer, at least so our elderly friend asseverates, and Hugh signifies his intention of migrating to the bar to partake thereof. The landlady and he pass into the little flagged passage, and close the door behind them. I, left to myself, sit down by the window, curse my fate, and those unmannerly blood mares, and count the bruises, great and frequent, on my shins. Presently the hostess returns with a clean tablecloth and tea‐things.
"The gentleman'll soon be back, 'm," she says, consolatorily, to me.
"I daresay."
"He's just gone 'alf a dozen yards down the road to see if he can see hanythink of the man and them brutes of 'osses."page: 312
"Oh, has he?" with ostentatious indifference to the communication.
"Do you feel quite yourself again, mum?"
"Quite, thanks."
She arranges a black‐glazed tea‐pot and two cups and saucers, and then recommences her attack.
"I was so thankful when you come to yourself when you did, mum!"
"Were you?"
"Yes, 'm, because of the gentleman, I mean; I never see a gentleman so put about, about hanythink; no, never. I thought he'd agone off his 'ed a'most."
I see her glancing stealthily at my left hand.
("I should not have cared much if he had," said I, internally). "Perhaps he'd never seen anyone faint before?" I suggested, aloud; "perhaps he thought I was dead!"
"Well, indeed, mum, when you fust come in it gev me quite a turn, that it did; 'e was a carryin' of you in his harms, and your 'ead was a 'angin' down over page: 313 'is shoulder, and your mouth was hopen, and your face was as wite—as wite as that table‐cloth; I did raly think you was a corpse at fust."
I relapse into silence, and vultures gnaw my heart, I, in Hugh's arms, with my head hanging over his shoulder, and my mouth open! Disgusting tableau! Not only disgusting, but public; witnessed by the two grooms and the landlady, certainly; by a barmaid and a host of boozing boors, probably.
"What a funk I was in when you said you were going to die! I thought I had killed you. What should I have done if I had?" he ends, sentimentally, reverting from his Sebastopolian and Lucknowian experiences to our late perils by dog‐cart.
"What would you have done?" I replied, sarcastically, "why I suppose you'd have had the body (me I mean) conveyed in here, and then you'd have had some beer, and then you'd have posted off to Wentworth to break the news to Dolly!"
"That I shouldn't."
I don't know whether he intended me to ask what he would have done; if he did I did not gratify him, but stared out at the gooseberry bushes, and tried to count the nascent gooseberries on the nearest one. Having no further pretence for staying, the goodwife left the room, to my regret. I miss her chaperonage, the page: 315 whisking of her sage green stuff dress, and the cheerful clink of the teaspoons, which sufficed instead of conversation. When she was gone the stillness irked me; it is not a cooling or a soothing process sitting at dead of night alone on a narrow seat with a man who will keep edging an inch every five minutes nearer you, and who never moves his eyes from your face.
"I wonder that woman did not know who you were," I said, for the sake of saying something. "She talked of you as the gentleman."
"Not to know me, you think, argues herself unknown; well, she's a stranger in these parts, that's it—poor old girl! She was sorely puzzled to make out our relationship to one another, wasn't she?"
"I should have had the greatest possible pleasure in explaining to her that there was not any relationship whatsoever," I answer drily.
Hobnailed boots stump along the flagged passage into the little bar; men are talking and drinking there; the barmaid's tee‐hee, inharmonious, as the laugh of the uneducated always is, rewards their sallies, page: 316 and mingles with their haw‐haws; they are smoking evidently, for tobacco smoke—bearable now, because fresh—creeps under the door, and assails our noses.
"How does the time go?" I ask restlessly.
"Five and twenty past eleven."
"Is that all?" (with great disconsolateness of tone.)
"Does the time seem to you to go so slow, Nell?"
His arm is, I find, establishing itself on the sill behind me.
"Yes, dreadfully slow," I say, impatiently; "and don't call me Nell, please—I don't like it."
In that ever‐to‐be‐abhorred night I speak of, I was not alone—not alone, though I would have given one or both my ears to have been so. I was harried by the company of a man, my indifference for whom was fast merging into loathing. Poor Hugh! there was nothing loathable about him, as I see now, on calm retrospection—nothing, except his efforts to act basilisk or charming serpent, a part for which his eyes and the whole cast of his countenance singularly unfitted him. I begged him to take off his watch and lay it on the table, that I might not have to be perpetually appealing to him to know how the time went. Restlessly I rambled up and down the room, every moment seeking information from the impassive China face of my familiar. Stock‐still stood, or seemed to page: 319 stand, the hands; the progress of the minute was as imperceptible as that of the hour‐hand. I could not sit quiet; it seemed as if I were on wires, or had a fit of the crebles. I turned my uneasy eyes helplessly round; what could I do to curtail my sufferings? A few books lay on the little sideboard—a few books and a tumbler full of daffodils. I perused the titles eagerly. A Bible and a prayer‐hook, a tattered primer, Alleine's "Alarm to the Unconverted," and Cumming's "Great Tribulation," the two latter presented to Martha Harris by her kind friend, the Rev. Mr. Smith.
Anybody's "Tribulation" was an attractive title to me now; it woke my sympathy. Was not I in great tribulation myself? Perhaps it might frighten me, or amuse me, or shock me, or do something towards making me forget that dreadful watch and dreadfuller man. I got through half a page, and then recur to my old wonder, "how's the time going?" I rise and look. Half‐past one!
"It ought to be here by now, oughtn't it?" I say, looking dolorously across the flare of the tallow candles at Lothario.page: 320
"It will soon, I dare say," he replies, cheerily. "Probably they were all in bed when he got there, and it would take some time knocking them up, and putting the horses in."
I bring the "Great Tribulation" over to the table, and bend my eyes resolutely on its gloom‐breathing pages. The print is very small, and the prophecies are of a nature to make the stoutest heart quail, the limpest hair stand on end; they seem to me only consumedly dull. I look up one page and down another; look to see where the chapter ends, and whether it looks pleasanter further on; then I yawn; then I take a peep at Hugh. He is leaning his elbow on the table, and his brown hand is shading his brown eves, which are taking an inventory of my charms apparently. Some impulse prompts me to say sharply,
"I wish you would look at something besides me!"
"Why should not I look at you, if I like?"
I turn over the pages with quick irritation.
"Because—because it is tiresome and page: 321 stupid, and you might find something better to do!"
"There's not much to do here, good or bad, and I don't want anything better."
I turn my back upon him, and peruse a paragraph of an uncomplimentary nature about the Beast.
"I asked you not to call me Nell."
"What am I to call you then? may I call you Eleanor? Miss Lestrange sounds so stiff."
"You need not call me anything."
Tick, tick, tick, goes the kitchen clock; somebody is snoring overhead.
"Why will you turn your back upon me?"
"Because I hate being stared at," I reply, pouting.
"By me, I suppose that means; it would be a different tale if it were that long‐legged M'Gregor."
This is the first trace of jealousy and spleen I have yet discerned in easy‐going Hugh Lancaster. I wheel round with great velocity.
"You've no right to say that," I flash page: 322 out vehemently; "no business to say it; it's mean of you."
"Mean!" he cries angrily; "that's the very first time any one ever applied that word to me!"
Then he subsides; I think he perceives the absurdity of our sitting there, storming at one another, at dead of night, in that dreary little pothouse.
"Never mind!" he says; "you're a privileged person; you may say what you like."
"That idiot has lost his way, as I thought he would," says Hugh, whose weather‐beaten face looks haggard and grim in the dun misty light.
"Yes," said I, reproachfully; "and if you'd gone yourself, as I wanted you, we should have been back hours ago."
"It was your fault," he replies, rather page: 323 downcast by my persistent snubbing. "Cannot you forgive me for liking too much to be with you?"
Even a hot day often comes in coldly, and sitting up all night is not warming to the blood. I shiver.
"Are you cold?" Hugh asks.
"Yes, rather, and my arm smarts a little; I wonder did I bruise it when I fell."
His moustache just brushes the surface, has not time to do more, before I snatch it page: d325 away as from a hyena about to mumble it; snatch it away from £12,000 a year, as if it had been twelve brass farthings paid quarterly. "Leave me alone, do!" I cry, fierce as a young tigress, looking volumes of outraged virtue at him; "will you never understand that I hate you?"
Hugh pales, as men do in any strong emotion; it is their equivalent for women's "torrent de pleurs!"
"I have been rather dull of comprehension," he says, "but don't be alarmed; I understand now fully!"
We retire to two different corners, and glower at one another. The house awakes and shakes itself; girds up its loins for its day's work; the barmaid and the ostler are heard exchanging matutinal gallantries in the bar, and the landlady enters slip‐shod, curl‐papered, to "know what will be for breakfast?" Breakfast! Oh, ye gods! shall we then have to undergo another grievous tête‐à‐tête repast? Shall I again pour out Hugh's tea? Will he again help me to ham and eggs? As I thus ruminate (despair creeping coldly over me) even while Mrs. Harris urges lamb chops on page: 326 Hugh's notice—even while the savour of bacon, incipiently frizzling, insinuates itself through the walls, I hear the sound of wheels.
Eagerly I run out to the inn door, and stand with hand shading my eyes from the morning sun, while the Blue Boar swings above me. Surely, surely, I know those big bays, and that sociable—behind which and in which old Lady Lancaster and her yellow wig make their weekly pilgrimage to church. I rush back to Hugh, crying playfully, "The carriage is come! hurrah!" and fall to youthful caperings and actions, expressive of intensest relief. I know now with what accent a shipwrecked mariner shouts, "A sail! a sail!"
Hugh looks askance at me and my gymnastics; then comes out, and damns his servants; wishes to know why the devil they have not come sooner, and what the deuce they mean by their d—d impertinence? In fact he is in a towering rage, such a rage as they have not seen him in since he came into the property, twenty years ago. It surprises them a little, and amuses them a good deal.page: 327
The explanation of their non‐appearance before, is easy. Smith, as his master had dined, had lost his way; never had been very clear about it, and had dropped into the Red Lion, three quarters of a mile further on to refresh his memory; consequently had not reached Wentworth till an hour and a half ago.
Mrs. Harris has to eat her fried bacon and drink her coffee herself; the bays, under Hugh's Jehuship, deposit us at the bottom of the flight of steps at Wentworth hall door, exactly as the clock strikes nine. Nobody is down yet, and I flee along the corridors and lobbies unobserved to my own room, where I lie down on my bed, and straightway fall asleep, and forget my troubles, and that nightmare pot‐house!

"From beneath you it devours"
Found some Saga four packs at KB for $7.99 at the Galleria tonight. Granted, they had some pegwarming figures, but a lot of potential army builders such as Super Battle Droids and Endor Soldiers. Mine had a SBD, beardless Endor Soldier, Orn Free Taa, and a Mace Windu. Even though I had them all (except the variation of the Endor Soldier), I'll use them as openers.
The Target at the Galleria had the new Deluxe Force Flipping Anakin and the Deluxe Geonosian Warrior.

Found the new Obi-Wan and Tyrannus.
"From beneath you it devours"
Where did you find those, Ret?
Incidentally, I recently attended the latest meeting of "The North Ridge" Star Wars fanclub here in Buffalo, and I brought up the issue of starting some coordinated networking among the local members who are collectors. So hopefully we can get something going there, and we will all benefit from the collecting tips.
Hey! This maybe old news, I know I don't visit this thread that often, but I just picked up a Jango Fett SlaveI for $12.00 and a Jedi Starfighter for $8.00 at The BigK-Mart on rt17 just outside of Horseheads, NY (between elmira and Watkins Glen)
They have a huge clearence section of toys, and I figure that other Big K's probably have one too! Some of the markdowns were good others weren't however, when I left there was only 1-Jedi Starfighter left , about 10 SlaveI's, 2-Geonosis playsets, and 1-programmable robotic R2-D2. Atleast those are the only things really worth mentioning!
Hey do you Buffalonians, except outsiders in your collectors club? I'm in Syracuse, and have been trying to find a club for years(anywhere in NYS) but to no avail! Any hep hersa would be Hot! With my job I travel alot, so I get to check out tons of stores and small towns where some of the better finds can be found!
"What happens in Indy STAYS in Indy!".
"The only thing you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you".
The 'Xir, you might want to hook up with the local Star Wars fanclub in Syracuse, NY. They are called the "Salt City Jedi". Here is a link to an index of all the official Star Wars fanforce chapters in the Northeast:
On that page you will find the e-mail address for the local Syracuse fanclub and a link to their discussion forums and so forth. I hope this helps.
That's weird! I've never heard of'em, and I've asked around a fair amount about clubs, and never heard any mention of them.
A Big 'Xir ThanX to ya SL!
"What happens in Indy STAYS in Indy!".
"The only thing you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you".
Sorry for being AWOL the past few months. As I posted in the Gen Discussion section a while back a computer snafu has lead me to not being able to log on to this site unless it is a system that is not my own. I will check in, infrequently, but I will. Here is a summary of what I found over the last few months, which isn't much.
*Found Yoda w/ Jedi Council Chair at Wally-Mart last week. The latest figure I have seen since Ephant Mon back in December.
*Ep2 Deluxe figures have been marked down to $6.99 at TRU. Snagged me a Jango & Mace Windu.
*Also picked up a 12" Super Battle Droid at Kay-Bee for $9.99. It seems Kay-Bees around the country have discounted certain 12 inchers (Dooku, Zam, SBD, and the Imp Officer).
I vacationed in Florida, Ft. Meyers area, for about nine days in mid February. Beautiful weather, beautiful girls, and beautiful finds. I picked up a Slave I for $12.00 at a K-Mart and also sighted the Trash Compactor Sets at Wally-Mart.
I have not seen the Trash Compactor Sets in WNY. They have either been around for a short time and were snatched up, or haven't arrived yet. They are rather expensive at $17.00+ a pop for 2 figures. Picked up one set and could possibley get another (I have folks still down there). Just need to know if anyone else has spotted them?
Will check in later.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
Yeah found em at Walden Wally.
"From beneath you it devours"
Yeah, they had quite a few of them there last time I visited that store... some on the top shelves. I passed on these sets... they are too expensive and too redundant of figures I already own.

"An Agreeable Tyrant: Fashion After the Revolution"
October 7, 2016 – April 29, 2017
The exhibition displays men's and women's clothing from 1780 to 1825 in a dozen period rooms throughout the museum. It considers how Americans fashioned a new identity through costume; on the one hand, Americans sought to be free from Europe, yet they still relied heavily on European manufacturing and materials.
The DAR houses two historic document collections: The Americana Collection and the NSDAR Archives.

dollarbill300 wrote:I am new to this forum and this is my first year of hunting. I was hoping to get some tips with turkey hunting. I live in south carolina and the season here is only the month of april. I have been out a few times this season with no luck. I did some scouting before the season started and thought I had found some good areas. Turns out I was wrong. I hear gobbling within a short range, but I am having trouble calling them in closer. I use a slate friction call with a wood striker. I stay in one spot until about noon. Any gobbling stops after about 8:30 am. One of my questions is this: do hunters use calls that sound like gobbling, or are those turkeys I am hearing? I have tried sitting close to a small open field, in the woods close to a river, walked up to higher ground, nothing. I have 2 decoys, a tom and a feeding hen. Every time I go, I go to an area that I heard them the time before. The most recent trip, I saw 3 about 250 yards away from me walking through an open field heading towards the woods. When I saw them I started using the slate call. They stopped, looked in my direction with their heads up, and after about a minute they continued into the woods. I could not tell if they were toms or hens. I am completely confused about what to do. One day I was talking to another hunter that was out there about how tough it was and he said "yeah it's tough because the stupid ones have been caught". I thought that was pretty funny. Any help would be greatly appreciated....

text: Curious, master judges, if youre judging a master dog, and it takes a poor initial line, but goes a short distance and handler corrects the line, putting dog back on course, and continues running the blind . How big a penalty do you give for the P.I.L ? And, at what point would you need to see that handler correct the dogs' line ?

The Israeli debate over Iran's nuclear program is, perhaps oddly, not yet heated. For now, the action is with the Americans: Israelis watch the negotiations nervously and without confidence, but there is little sense of impending doom—or impending war.
Opinion polls show that Israelis think Iran is building toward a weapon, not toward a "capability," and they pay attention to Iran's continuing acts of aggression (in Syria, for example), its support for terrorism, and the constant statements from Iran's leaders about eliminating Israel from the map.
So why no panic? Perhaps Israel's experiences with war and terror, facing Arab armies and more recently Hezbollah and Hamas, have immunized it from a panicked response. Perhaps there is faith in the Israel Defense Forces' ability to stop Iran if the need arises. Or perhaps Israelis expect that in the end America will act to stop Iran from getting a bomb.
But during a recent visit I found another explanation as well—one that is more disturbing. Talking with members of what I'd call the "security establishment," I found the occasional appearance of wishful thinking built around imagined Cold War analogies. That the Obama administration appears to harbor precisely the same hopes is no cause for comfort.
