1. Your birth was presided over by a doula and soundtracked by chanting.
You've heard your birth story a lot.
2. Your name is Autumn, Dawn, Dharma, Flower, Harmony, Heather, Rainbow, River, Season, Shanti, Shakti, Sky, Star, Summer, Sunshine, or Willow.
Bonus points if you have an adjective + noun combination, like Divine Peace, Sunny Day, or Astral Plane.
3. You wore cloth diapers.
This was not a pretty thing.
4. Your parents gave a lot of positive affirmations and hugs.
Which tended to freak out your friends.
5. As did your family's environmentally conscious flushing policy.
6. And lax attitude toward nudity.
At some point, you realized you probably shouldn't tell so many stories about that nudist summer camp your family goes to.
7. Your parents taught you to question everything.
8. They refused to let you participate in class celebrations of the holiday they called "Indigenous People's Day."
9. You never had any idea what any of your classmates were talking about because you didn't have television.
(Or if you had a television, you only had PBS.)
10. You had no choice but to wear hand-me-down and handmade clothing, often tie-dyed.
11. You weren't allowed to alter your body's natural hair and eau.
12. You obviously weren't allowed to have processed foods or soda.
You shouldn't get this reference nor understand why Kel so loves orange soda.
Except for homemade root beer. With real root.
13. When you got sweets, they were made out of carob.
14. You celebrated the Equinoxes and Solstices.
15. While The Goddess, Mother Earth, and Buddha were generally big deals…
(and popular decorating motifs)
16. God = Jerry Garcia
(Also a popular decorating motif.)
17. This was your favorite of your parents' records.
Also The Point.
18. Your parents still danced like they did at Woodstock.
19. You know who Tim Leary is.
20. And Buckminster Fuller.
You may have even had a geodesic dome in your back yard. Or a yurt.
21. This was on your coffee table.
22. When your friends came over, they asked, "What's that smell?" This was that smell.
23. Or this.
OK, or this.
24. Your parents probably smoked more weed than you did while you were in high school.
And theirs was better.
25. They've gardened organically and raised chickens and composted for decades. They washed out plastic bags before "green" was a thing.
26. On the rare occasion that your family ate out, they brought along yogurt tubs to take home leftovers.
Definitely not embarrassing.
Now they use that reusable cling wrap that looks like a shower cap/female condom.
(Your mom definitely told you about female condoms.)
27. Sometimes you dreamed of rebelling…
by becoming as normal as possible.
28. But ultimately you've realized you are too much like them.
Unable to throw anything away, incensed by apathy, stoked about your co-op…
29. You are always grateful that your parents taught you to love yourself for who you are…
and to be the change you want to see in the world.

Here is the second part of the "Restoration Series" on this, our 1959 British Daimler Ferret Scout Car. The military vehicles are the "centre" of our family Military Collection. This is the Mk2/3 variant. Here is the link to my first Collectors Weekly post for this "series":
Photo .1 I'm removing some of the old water damaged equipment canvas bags that are strapped to the outside of the Ferret. There is good provision all over the armoured vehicle with sturdy metal loops and hooks to strap on extra kit! There is even a collapsible canvas bucket!
Photo .2 Is the Rolls Royce B60 Engine, fortunately ours has only run for a relatively short time, the odometer reads 3500 Km. The engine is in fine "fettle" and really just needs an oil change and full service and a general scrub up and clean, which it will get.
Photo .3 Is the inside of the Driver/gunner compartment, a lot of ancillary equipment is rusted, damaged or just plain missing! Every component and piece of equipment is going to be stripped out and fully refurbished to; as new, in our machine shop. A long, long job ahead!
Photo .4 Keith (owner) in the two man compartment. There is only room for the driver up front, and the gunner/commander up top (sitting above and behind the driver).

Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) will unify its energy empire into a single company, and in doing so it's ditching the master-limited partnership structure it helped popularize nearly two decades ago. Kinder's yesterday announced a plan to wrap up all its existing MLPs – Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP), Kinder Morgan Management, LLC (KMR) and El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (EPB) – into their corporate parent. KMI shares have surged 9% early Monday, while KMP shares are up 15%, KMR shares are up 22%, and EPB shares are up 19%.
"This transaction dramatically simplifies the Kinder Morgan story, by transitioning from four separately traded equity securities today to one security going forward, and by eliminating the incentive distribution rights and structural subordination of debt," said Richard Kinder, the company's chairman and CEO, in a statement. "Further, we believe that KMI will be a valuable acquisition currency and have a significantly lower hurdle for accretive investments in new energy infrastructure."
The Wall Street Journal's Alison Sider and Russell Gold report today that Kinder said the company had basically outgrown the MLP structure:
Kinder now is so big that the MLP structure is limiting, said Richard Kinder, the companies' founder and chief executive. Combining all four of its publicly traded units into one corporation, he said in an interview, "will allow us to further expand the reach of the kind of projects we can do."…
[I]nvestors have been concerned that with a $37 billion market value, Kinder Morgan's flagship partnership, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, is so big that it is difficult for the partnership to achieve substantial revenue growth—and thus increase its distributions to shareholders. Analysts also have cited the hefty payments—about 46% of its cash—that the partnership has been making to the publicly traded company that runs it, Kinder Morgan Inc. Mr. Kinder owns 23% of that company, though his stake will decline to about 11% after the consolidation.
In the latest Barron's MLP Roundtable, published in the current issue, our panelists selected Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) – the only energy MLP operator bigger than Kinder – as one of their top picks, saying its massive footprint will help it capitalize on the U.S. energy boom, with one of out panelists calling Enterprise "the largest, yet most nimble" MLP around. Shares of EPD are up 2.5% early Monday.
The newly consolidated KMI will have a projected dividend of $2.00 in 2015, a 16 percent increase over the anticipated 2014 dividend of $1.72, and the company expects to grow the dividend by 10 percent each year from 2015 through 2020. Kinder said the combined entity will be the largest energy infrastructure company in North America and the third largest energy company overall with an estimated enterprise value of approximately $140 billion. Kinder said the transaction provides significant tax benefits for KMI shareholders from depreciation deductions associated with the upfront purchase and future capital expenditures.
Kinder said it has reviewed the proposed transaction with rating agencies and expects the combined entity will have investment-grade ratings.

Mother abandons children along Interstate 90
POST FALLS, Idaho - Deputies in Kootenai County are investigating the abandonment of two young children along Interstate 90 Tuesday morning.
A construction worker found two boys, ages 3 and 6, in a grassy area near the I-90 interchange construction project near Mile Post 1 around 9 a.m.
The 6-year-old told deputies who responded to the scene that their mother, later identified as Shannon Marie Germanton, 27, of Spokane Valley, had walked them out to the spot when it was dark and raining, said she had run out of gas and was going for help.Abandoned kids on I-90
The kids were seen with their mother Monday night at the Walmart near Cabela's Monday night. The store called police because they said that Germanton was acting suspicious.
She was found in the bathroom with her kids and a gas can. She said she ran out of gas and stopped at Walmart to get gas.
"What happened between 8 p.m. when police officers contacted her and when the kids were found, we have no idea," Major Ben Wolfinger with the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department said.
About an hour and a half after finding the children, Germanton's purse was found nearby in a construction vehicle.
Meanwhile, in the course of their investigation deputies found that she had made her way over to Jacklin Seed, where an employee gave Germanton, who is also known as Shannon Marie Duval, a ride to the Exxon gas station at Pleasant View Road and Riverbend Drive between 6:30-7:30 a.m.
She reportedly told a station employee she had been in a fight with her boyfriend and needed to make a call to get a ride. Throughout the day she has reportedly been spotted in the vicinity of the Exxon station but investigators have not been able to locate her.
The children, who didn't have any shoes and had been left there for several hours, were checked out by EMS personnel and placed into foster care by Child Protective Services.
Germanton, who has been arrested multiple times on drug charges, has not been located. If you know of her current whereabouts you're asked to call the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office at 208-446-1300.

Wish I knew the original author, so given to who ever wrote this.
Aim so high you'll never be bored.
The greatest waste of our natural resources is the number
of people who never achieve their potential. Get out
of that slow lane. Shift into the fast lane. If you think
you can't, you won't. If you think you can, there's a
good chance you will. Just making the effort will make
you feel like a new person. Reputations are made by
searching for things that can't be done and doing them.
Aim low: boring. Aim high: soaring.

World rugby will get its integrated season after the next World Cup. Super Rugby will shift to a March start and won't break for test matches, the June window will be shifted to July and all players will have a 14 to 16-week off-season.
Other innovative plans are being discussed, such as building a world series of tests in years that fall between the World Cup and British Lions tours. The revolution that All Black coach Steve Hansen called for last week is coming.
The players have intimated they are prepared to strike if they don't get what they want. They have made the creation of an integrated season a priority and with domestic player associations working in conjunction with the International Rugby Players' Association, they present an irresistible force.
The IRPA has been working for the past 18 months on changes they feel have to be made to protect individuals from physical and mental burnout. Players in all the major nations are willing to work together to enforce a shorter season that doesn't expose them to such high injury risks and may potentially increase their longevity in the game.
It is understood the English, French and Celtic leagues are willing to push out the start of their respective competitions from August to September to allow the June tests to be pushed back to July. That will pave the way for Super Rugby to begin later in the year, shifting from its current mid-February position to early March.
Last year was the first time in its 17-year history that Super Rugby had to stop to accommodate the test programme. The hiatus was problematic on many fronts - it led to a drop in fan interest, but of more concern was the demands it placed on the players.
Many of the Chiefs and Crusaders - they made the playoffs - struggled with the intensity of playing crucial Super Rugby games as well as three tests in such a condensed period.
The problem was just as acute for those not involved in the tests. Some teams, because of the bye, had a four-week gap without games which they struggled to use constructively. It was too long to go without a game, yet finding opposition was hard. The Hurricanes suffered the extra punishment of losing star halfback TJ Perenara to serious injury in a game against the Reds.
The immediate feedback from last year was that the players didn't like the competition being put on hold and changing that is one of the key priorities.
Sanzar's broadcasting deal for Super Rugby expires in 2015, which means there is an opportunity to restructure the competition into the proposed timeframes.
While there are ambitious plans to include new geographic areas post-2015, any new format won't be signed off by the players unless it can be completed in full without a break.
Nor will the players agree to an increase in the number of games they are required to play. The current format comes with a minimum of 16 and a maximum of 19 matches. Those numbers are at the upper limits of what the players want; they would rather play fewer, more intense games.
A limit is not being set but everyone working on the new season structure agrees that, ideally, 30 games split between Super Rugby and tests is the maximum individuals should be asked to play.
Previous attempts to integrate the Northern and Southern Hemisphere seasons have failed because of self-interest, a determination to preserve tradition and the difficulties involved in breaking longer term broadcasting and sponsorship agreements.
The so-called Woking lock-in after the 2007 World Cup was deemed the definitive attempt to make significant changes but when no agreements could be reached on how the seasons in both hemispheres could be reconfigured to make them shorter and more logical, the IRB declared the creation of a global season impossible.
The major difference this time is the alignment of the respective player unions and their willingness to work together. The timing is also favourable as unlike the last attempt to make change, most of the key commercial agreements in place will be expiring in 2015.
By collaborating, the players will effectively reduce the IRB and other national unions to bit-part players. The IRPA plans to hold a major conference next month in Australia, where it will unveil more detail of its plan.
How the new season could look
• Mid-March: Super Rugby starts. Competition to be played in one continuous block in what could be a 16 to 18-week window, finishing in late June.
• July: Three tests hosted in Southern Hemisphere. In 2016 and 2018, these could be part of a world series that will be continued in November and linked to World Cup seedings. Each nation could be free to determine their schedule rather than have it imposed by the IRB. This paves the way for Tier Two nations to play more tests against Tier One nations.
• Late August: Rugby Championship begins and runs to mid-October in current four team, home and away format. ITMCup also begins early to mid-August, running through to late October.
• November: Southern Hemisphere sides play tests in the north, either as one-off tests are as part of a world series.
• December-early March: The All Blacks will be given almost 14 weeks to rest and recondition before joining their respective franchises.
Rugby Union
Liam Messam
• Code: Rugby Union
• Teams: Chiefs and All Blacks
• Position: Loose Forward
• Height: 1.88m
• Weight: 109kg
• Games Last Year: 28 (17 for the Chiefs and 11 tests). Messam started every game for the Chiefs bar the clash with the Lions on May 5. He played at blindside in all but one match -against the Brumbies, when he was used at No 8. He played 18 games (17 for the Chiefs and one test) in the first 23 weeks of the season. Team-mate Sonny Bill Williams played 21 games in that same 23-week window.
• Season Began: Late January (trial games)
• Season Ended: December 1
• Season Length: 44 weeks
• Off Season between 2012 and 2013: Nine weeks after returning home from the end-of-year tour and playing his first trial game for the Chiefs.
• Core Role: As a blindside, Messam plays in one of the most physical, highest impact positions on the field. His core roles are tackling, ball carrying, cleaning out rucks, winning lineout ball and supporting his backs.
Messam has made 115 tackles so far in 2013 - an average of almost 12 per game, which is consistent with the numbers he posted last year. These hits have been mostly head-on tackles, mostly around the fringes of the breakdown, trying to drive opposition forwards back behind the gainline. These are high impact, explosive collisions.
He has carried the ball 111 times so far in 2013 - again, a near average of 12 carries per game and consistent with last year. He can clean out rucks 30 to 50 times a game and it is estimated he runs 5kmto 7km per game - distances he covers predominantly in 20m-40m bursts at about 90 per cent capacity. He saw 793 minutes of game-time for the All Blacks and 1250 minutes of game time for the Chiefs. In total, he played 2043 minutes or 34 hours of rugby.
Rugby League
Ryan Hoffman
• Code: Rugby League
• Teams: Storm, City Origin and Kangaroos
• Position: Second rower
• Height: 1.92m
• Weight: 103kg
• Games Last Year: 29 (27 for the Storm, one City Origin game
and one test). Hoffman was one of only three Melbourne players who started every NRL game as they went all the way to the grand final. He played in the second row in every match.
• Season Began: First week of February (trial games)
• Season Ended: October 13
• Season Length: 36 weeks
• Off Season between 2012 and 2013: Sixteen weeks between the end-of-season test in Townsville and first trial game for the Storm.
• Core Role: As a second rower, Hoffman features in one of the most physical positions in the game and is expected to play the full 80 minutes. The 29-year-old is one of the Storm's enforcers; his main role is bending the defensive line with his charging runs, as well as a mountain of tackling. He is also expected to make and support line breaks and is a key part of Melbourne's formidable kick-chase, both defensively and offensively.
Hoffman has made 224 tackles so far in 2013, an average of almost 25 per game, slightly up on last season (22 per match). Defending on the edge of the ruck, Hoffman has to deal with some of the biggest men in the NRL - props, back rowers and centres - running at high speed. Melbourne's organisation ensures there are often at least two defenders in each tackle but the workload exacts a heavy toll. Most of the tackles are front-on and high impact, as Hoffman is charged with going high to wrap up the ball.
He has carried the ball 125 times so far in 2013, an average of nearly 14, slightly down on last year's 15.3 per match. He will be involved in around 45 collisions per game and covers between 5km and 6km in a match. Hoffman had around 2,160 minutes of game time for the Storm, as well as games for the City Origin team and Kangaroos in what was a light representative season. In total, he played around 2,300 minutes or 38.3 hours of league.
American Football
Adrian Petersen
• Code: American Football
• Team: Minnesota Vikings
• Position: Running back
• Height: 1.88m
• Weight: 98kg
• Games Last Year: 17. Peterson played 16 regular season games in 17 weeks; there was one scheduled bye. He then played one play-off game.
• Season Started: September 9
• Season Ended: January 5
• Season Length: 18 weeks
• Off Season: Peterson is enjoying a 34-week break between his last game in January and his next in September - the typical pattern for the NFL. He will split that time between rest and minor surgery and laying down a strength and conditioning base before settling into a 12-week pre-season period in camp with his team that includes a four-week exhibition window to effectively play trial games.
• Core Roles: As a running back, Petersen is the player charged with getting his side going forward from the line of scrimmage. Last year, he rushed for a total of 2096 yards, having carried the ball 370 times. He averaged six metres per carry, all of that through thick traffic where he would have been hammered by some oversized men.
He also took the ball as a receiver (it was passed to him) 41 times and he made 225 yards on those plays. On those occasions where he didn't receive or run with the ball, Petersen would have acted as a blocker, similar to cleaning out a ruck in rugby.
The playing time of an NFL game is one hour and typically the defensive and offensive teams split that time on the field. Petersen would have spent roughly 8.5 hours on the field.

How does what we've seen so far of E2 Lego look to you?
Let's talk about it!
Lots of good designs, I like it!
Very nice designs,I cant wait :)
I am a latecomer to the SW LEGO collecting scene. I first started buying them when TPM sets were discounted. Wow, was I ever missing out on some fun !
Therefore, I was hoping to get some cool AOTC sets when the toy rush begins - and the more pics I see, the more excited I get! Bring on the LEGO sets . . . I know I'll be spending more on LEGOs than figures this year.
I am wondering if the initial sets will be released on April 23 as well ? ? ?
I think these look way better than the first wave of Ep 1 LEGO, these are very nice looking designs.
As for the first set, it'll be the Jedi Starfighter in March, and I believe the other sets will be coming probably in early May. We'll be getting an ep 2 set next month!
I haven't bought legos since 'ye ole' Pirates vs. Imperials. I stopped when they had that Islanders set. Shameful really. Castles used to be good too, I never got into the sci fi though. Then they had that Adventure set, which is a total rip off of Indiana Jones. My brother has that Spielberg movie magic set, which is cool, but me and my friends just make obscene films using TMNT action figures using the camera...
I haven't bought any Star Wars LEGOS. The E2 stuff looks decent I guess, but I have no desire for LEGOS anymore. At least the new Legos have more articulation than what Hasbro is spewing out in May. :crazed:
jedi master sal
I love the new slave-1, bigger and closer to scale and shape (still could be more rounded though), jedi starfighter is cool. Now all we need is a huge LEGO sandcrawler to store all of the other sets. That would be awesome and come with say 10 jawas. One can only hope.
Lego has come a long way since I was a kid.
Back then you could only get a very limited amount of colored blocks and there were none of the strangely mold pieces that we have today. back then they were all blocks and maybe some angled pieces.
Kudos to LEGO!!
the sets look great to me... with one exception... when the spy reports were out, they said a Mace Windu lego would come with the Republic Gunship (just like a Lando would come with the Cloud Car.) But noooo! We get a boring generic Jedi. I just wish Lego would make these 2 cool black characters! What's it gonna take, getting Jesse Jackson after them?
I like what I have seen so far. But I think Lego uses to many new and specially pieces these days.

But noooo! We get a boring generic Jedi. I just wish Lego would make these 2 cool black characters! What's it gonna take, getting Jesse Jackson after them? This issue is a complicated one for LEGO, they do want to do Lando and Mace, but they have to make a huge decision that will change a major issue of their company. In the past, the yellow-skinned mini-figure has always represented a generic race, not white, not black, not asian, hispanic, or anything else, just a generic person who can be related to by any boy or girl anywhere on this globe. However, if Lego makes Lando and Mace with brown skin tones, they'll be saying that the yellow mini-figure no longer represents EVERYBODY; but if they make Lando and Mace with yellow skin, that may not go over well either. So it's not as easy as it sounds, some folks say "just go with the brown skin, there are other mini-figs with other skin tones", but others say "why single out black people, why separate them from the toys?". Personally, I'd rather have yellow Lando and Mace, but this is a line based on a movie (another first for LEGO) and that may not be accurate enough for most folks...
See what I mean about it being complicated?
I think going with the yellow Lando and Mace would probably be just fine. Mace, who's bald, will be difficult to distinguish as representing a character played by Samuel L. Jackson (for a Lego). Lando should be easier, with his hair and signature mustache.
I could be wrong about the larger issue though and reserve the right to change my point of view if I see compelling arguments to change these characters to a brown skin tone. I think that Lego's way of saying all human characters are just human, and yellow represents us all is very inclusive.
Promoting diversity might say "Hey, Lando was a hero and he's special because of that - and his signature look - so you acknowledge a contributing black character as a black man." That celebrates his diversity - and I understand that. I also like that term: celebrating diversity, versus "promoting diversity" which might sound like it not only distinguishes us, but separates us.
Lando joined with his friends Han and Leia as a Rebel - that was what concerned him as a character - not that he was black. In the Star Wars universe there is no reason to reflect that a character is a black human, when Amanins for one, are a heck of a lot more different in their culture and attitude, while Lando and Han are shown to be nearly identical (when making a comparison with an alien character). So that he wore the Rebel uniform is more in tune with WHO Lando is, versus what color skin he has.
Like I said, it's complicated. Sebulba gets his own skin tone, Vader gets his own skin tone (under the helmet), Jar Jar, Yoda, and Gasgano get their own skin tones in mini-figure form, and so far, Lego has only made figures of the caucasian human characters; but compared to all the aliens, the humanoid characters are all much more similar looking to each other than the aliens. There is definitely room on both sides of this debate to maneuver.
All I can say is "AWSOME"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:crazed:

500th page!
I had given up on Cars but then I randomly found "Van" at Burbank TRU today. No sign of the pit crew guys, except Guido. I still have never found the Flik and Flea 2-pack- anybody got an extra?
Picked up the Leader class TFA Bulkhead at Los Feliz TRU today. I now regret getting and opening the Voyager class version. The Leader class is smaller than I thought it would be, and scale wise, fits perfectly with the Voyager class figures. The only drawback is the $39.99 price tag.
They also had a full case of ML Hulk. $14.99 per figure (ouch!). Was going to pick up the She-Hulk, but her face looks nothing like the pictures Hasbro provided. I really hate how Hasbro figures never live up to the hype that the early promo pictures provided.
Wanted: -
SW Customs Album
In some cases, that's a blessing. Have you looked at the backs of the Spectacular Spider-Man cards? Everyone had weird ugly heads that look nothing like the cartoon. Peter's head still doesn't, really, in the one with swappable heads.
Darkagent, those Bulkheads must've gone quickly as there was no sign of them by around 9:30 this morning. I picked up the Indy Titanium cargo truck and stashed the Flying Wing for JT.
Speck, the only reason I have a Flik and Flea from Cars is b/c one of my siblings got it for me. I still have yet to see even one out in the wild.
I just don't get it- even Yeti's eventually were easy to find, and the Mia/Tia twins (blue, red and gold). WTF is up with Flik and Flea? Most stores that carry Cars don't seem to be restocking the 2-packs very often. It's hard to believe there are so many new cars coming, yet most stores treat them as 2-year old leftovers.
Also, I found that TRU does still carry Iron Man- shocking! They had the new IronMonger with the guy inside, and some weird green Iron Man variant. For a movie that was so good, the toy line sure died fast. Hulk is even worse- I didn't even realize that movie had come and gone.
OK I saw the signs at Target today that say the $5 coupon has been cancelled. If you look at them, they show a real coupon and next to it is the Photoshop fake. It's so obvious, I can't believe they don't know how to train employees to spot the real one. Really sad...

In a whirlwind of a day, Doc Rivers [1] traveled from Philadelphia to Milwaukee for Saturday morning's funeral of his former assistant coach and close friend Rick Majerus.
"I've been with Rick since fifth grade for the most part so I felt like I had to be there. It was important for me," Rivers said. It was Majerus who gave Rivers his nickname of "Doc" when he showed up at a basketball camp wearing a Julius Erving t-shirt.
Rivers then jumped on plane and made it back to Boston, getting back about 90 minutes before Saturday night's tip-off with Philadelphia at TD Garden. Rivers said he didn't give much consideration to not coaching Saturday.
"If I really want to [tick] Rick off, then don't coach the game," Rivers joked. "No, I didn't give that much thought. Life is involved with what we do every day. You deal with life and then you deal with your job. I always try to separate them when you can. Sometimes, you can't."
Other notes:
Doc on Evan Turner [2] and Jrue Holiday: "Jrue right now is an all-star, and Evan played like one last night for sure. He made a couple of incredible shots. His game-winning shot, he was trapped for the most part, he puts up a one-handed push shot. The blocked shot by [Paul Pierce [3]] and getting the rebound and he had another one where he split our pick-and-roll [defense]. That's what he does. That's what he's always done. He did it in college. He made three sensational plays. I think he's getting comfortable in our league right now. I thought it started last year and I think it carried on to this year."
Rivers had some good-natured fun with Doug Collins [4] after being told that Collins expects to take advantage of the fact that Pierce and Kevin Garnett [5] have combined to play an extraordinary number of minutes combined in their careers: "We played how many minutes, 51,000? We're smarter. We're the wiser team. I don't know how you counteract that. I tell you what you can't do. You can't turn the ball over."
The Celtics [6] committed 19 turnovers leading to 21 Philadelphia points in Friday's overtime loss. The Sixers committed just nine.

The 28th annual Atlantic Cape Community College Restaurant Gala will "Put on the Glitz," Thursday, March 31, at Bally's Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.

What should happen following the Raza Rumi attack
On March 28, gunmen sprayed the car of TV anchor and widely-respected analyst Raza Rumi, a member of the Express Group of media organizations. He escaped serious injury, but his driver, Mustafa, died. It was the fourth attack on the Express Group in eight months, with four people dead. There has been no serious police investigation into the events which took place in Karachi, Peshawar, and now Lahore, where Rumi's car was "bathed in bullets on one of city's main arteries," as The Express Tribune put it in an editorial on Sunday.

We don't know much about the TPP, but the few things we do know aren't making us feel any better about the whole thing: giving corporations more power, trampling labor rights, and so much more.

For the first newsletter of the year, I could think
of no better message than the one that was shared by a friend who I
bumped into late last year (more specifically, two days ago). I was
walking my dog Morris, when his ears perked up and he became excited
with tail a-waggin'. I looked up to see Larry, a favorite of Morris'
since he seems to know in just what spot behind the ear to scratch. I
always get so much wisdom (not to mention articles) out of our
interactions, so my ears perked up, as well.
In fact, I wrote about
Larry (twice) last year to discuss his challenges faced as someone
recovering from a stroke. The first article involved the dynamic tensions that happen with
many couples when one had been caregiving for a while and the care
recipient gradually becomes able to take on their responsibilities once
again. The next
article was an extension of the first (taking to the wheel again)
and also discussed the selfless act of "Paying it Forward."
In this Issue
In this new year, I will _______.
Learn to take one hour out of each day just for myself to read, enjoy a hot bath, journal my thoughts or call a friend.
Attend at least one caregiver support group to realize that I am not alone and that I can learn from others ...more
Without proper legal planning, caring for aging loved ones is often emotionally
and financially distressing for everyone involved. Families struggle at the last minute to find information,
guidance and assistance to handle the complex health care, financial and legal needs ...more
Keep records of all medications and reactions: make notes about what works, what doesn't and when you informed the physician of any problems.
Keep records of all doctor appointments: the reason for the visit, the doctor's responses to our concerns, any procedures performed, etc.
Start or continue to maintain copies of medical records for your loved one, and for yourself, as well. These will be beneficial should a grievance arise or if there are questions about medical histories
From Bette in PA:
Regarding Caregiver.com
My husband and I, with our three children, cared for my
mother for over 10 years at home. During the last three
years, I became involved with an online support group as
well as beginning one in our community.
One thing I wish I would have
thought more about during that time was sharing my
mother's story -- sharing what her life was like before
she became ill. She had a stroke in 2002. In 2006, she
was diagnosed with vascular dementia.
I think in sharing about her life
when she was healthy, I would have been given strength
in remembering. It's so important for caregivers to
remember that although it's hard on the person providing
care, the patient has some very real life changes going
on as well.
Just wanted to share with you in
hopes one day you would prompt others to share their
loved ones' likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies and
Take care and Happy New Year.
Hope 2014 is very special for you
and your Website.
Sincerely, Bette
Pets need care as they age, right alongside our loved
ones, and may have increased vet bills, too. The
relationship with our pets is in need of care and
understanding. They can suffer when their emotional
and/or physical needs are neglected inadvertently. Care
plans need to be put in place for them as a guide for
everyone involved to keep up with their needs. We should
remember that an aging person may stop paying attention
to their pet as dementia creeps in.
The best ideas and solutions for taking care of your loved one often come from other caregivers.
Please post your ideas and insights
and we will share them with your fellow caregivers.

Secrecy surrounds the degree Vodafone will challenge Sky TV now it has taken over TelstraClear and whether the two tech giants compete in the unregulated market or complement one another.
Vodafone's $840 million purchase was approved by the Commerce Commission last week and Telstra has quickly exited the New Zealand market.
TelstraClear's Christchurch and Wellington cable TV network Telstra Saturn - which is largely a rebroadcast of Sky TV - will be rebranded by Vodafone.
Beyond that Vodafone has not decided its strategy for Telstra Saturn while Sky TV chief executive John Fellet says the terms for content are not being renegotiated with new owners.
Longer term the question is whether Vodafone will directly challenge Sky's dominance of the pay TV market or continue its past strategy where it does not compete directly with Sky by acting as a reseller for Sky.
Sky TV and its relationship with internet service providers like Vodafone and TelstraClear is the subject of a Commerce Commission investigation looking at the unregulated market for content.
In the past TelstraClear chief executive Allan Freeth has complained about contractual terms in the Telstra Saturn deal with Sky that limit unique content and that will reduce uptake for UFB - ultra fast broadband
Sky TV says its terms for ISPs using its content rights are not restrictive.
Across the Tasman there has been a shakedown where their pay TV market is controlled by Foxtel - a company that is owned 50 per cent by Telstra (parent company of TelstraClear) and 50 per cent by News Limited, the Australian arm of the Rupert Murdoch empire.
News Limited has a controlling stake of 43.65 per cent in Sky TV. There is no evidence of any side agreement between Telstra and News over competition in the New Zealand pay TV market.
Vodafone New Zealand has had a chequered history developing content.
Vodafone hired former TVNZ programmer Jane Wilson, leading some to believe it was getting serious about developing its own content. Meanwhile, last week, the second largest shareholder in Sky TV - Todd Corporation - sold its $218 million investment to Credit Suisse and it has been distributed further.
The departure of such a big player - after 22 years in the firm - removes an institutional voice competing with the influence of News Ltd on the board.
Pay TV shakedown
Telstra: Dominant Australian telco owns 50 per cent of dominant Australian pay TV operator Foxtel.
Vodafone: Last week took over New Zealand arm of Telstra - TelstraClear - including TelstraSaturn with cable TV operations in Wellington and Christchurch, including some fibre optic.
News Ltd: Rupert Murdoch's Australian arm recently increased to 50 per cent of Foxtel and has a controlling 46.3 per cent stake in New Zealand's Sky TV.
Sky TV: dominates New Zealand pay TV market and wholesale market for TV content, especially sports.
UFB: New Ultra Fast Broadband network being rolled out will be distributor in new era of video on demand pay TV downloads.
This story has been corrected from an earlier version, which said News had a 46.3 per cent stake in Sky TV. The correct figure is 43.65.

Nancy E. Gasdorf
Nancy, E. Gasdorf, age 72, died on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at the Agrace Hospicecare Center in Fitchburg, after a long battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was born on April 27, 1940 in Madison, the daughter of Paul R. and Alexia (Bolzt) Nesson. She grew up in Madison and graduated from Madison West High School. Nancy was a manager at Manhattan Cookies on State Street and then worked for UW Housing for 11 years. She was united in marriage to Terry Gasdorf on June 24, 1967 in Madison. She dedicated her life to taking care of her family.
She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Terry; her two daughters, Wendy (Paul) Mather and Georgianna (Gary) Halverson; 9 grandchildren: Patrick and Ryan Mather, Arianna Fjelstad, Anya Halverson, Dustin (Jessie Dohman) Williams, and Michael, Brandon, Tiffany and Brooke Ballweg; one great-granddaughter, Raeven Williams and brother, Paul Nesson Jr.
She was preceded in death by her parents, an infant daughter, Holly and daughter, Sheri Ballweg.

The family would like to thank the staff at Agrace HospiceCare for their loving and compassionate care of Nancy.

KDE2 is pretty good, but the main feature for me, Konquerer, isn't as good as Galeon seems to be, so it's back to Gnome. At least now I have KDE available for testing things like KUPS and QtCUPS.
In the meantime, I installed Galeon. Nifty! It's much faster than Konquerer, less dreadful than Netscape, and deas the Gnome theme thing properly. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do plain old http authentication. Hmm.
I finally played with gnome-pilot; it's reasonably capable, although having the thing be bound to the desktop means you have to login to sync. There also doesn't appear to be a viable conduit for gnomecard; the current one is sort of one-way somehow. Gnomecard being the bug-fest that it is, this perhaps isn't important so long as I can find an address book program that's stable and syncs properly. Perhaps mom will end up with KDE after all...
Well, it's apparently open letter season. Kurt went haywire with an offhand comment of mine on the German website LinuxCommunity, so I wrote less offhand thing calling for vendors to work together to end-of-life LPD. This has produced at least one good result: the VA folks actually put up a web page about gnulpr, their project to improve and eventually replace LPD. We'll see how that turns out, and what the world is like when there are six LPD alternatives. It's not obvious which of "everyone uses crappy LPD" or "everyone uses a random spooler" is the better state. Unfortunately, the ideal result of distributors actually discussing with each other what printing tools they ought to ship in the near and far future doesn't seem to have happened. Doh!
The next day, HP posted an open letter response to an ESR letter from a while back. About a third of it dealt with printing, so I posted a response of my own.
And the day after that, I spotted two Lexmark driver developers having trouble figuring out a printhead arrangement, so I sent a letter on their behalf to a manager and and engineer I know inside Lexmark asking them to get with the program and open up, already. The Lexmark fellow wrote back and said they're going to try and figure out what to do. No doubt there's some confusion, since they've just released proprietary Linux/x86-only drivers for the Z32 and Z52 inkjets which, while quite functional, do not a viable long-term strategy make; especially if the other two-thirds of the market is supported by proper free software.
I've done some preliminary work on a magicfilter backend for foomatic; in theory now there are hundreds of magicfilter filter files available, as opposed to the several dozen that there used to be. Whee!
Now that I have demonstrated that Linux is a sensible OS for our project, I'm pondering the development environment. The OS and toolchains are no-brainers; ppc and arm cross toolchains are available in properly debianized format from the emdebian folks, and the rtlinux kernel kit is in stock Debian. Less obvious is version control; everyone assumes clearcase, since they're used to it, it's very capable, and money is not a big concern. The problem is that clearcase is incredibly poor for remote developers (ie, me when it snows). That techies.com survey about frills was spot-on wrt telecommuting. I've got a list of 6ish other systems to look at; we'll see what else there is.

I refuse to accept that it's unrealistic for a man to honor his word.
plenty of people make it through that school without having sex. it's not impossible.
find me on the web
I'm not familiar w/the honor code at BYU, but UVA had one (still does, although I believe it's been watered down a bit). When I was there, you signed a pledge that you agreed to abide by it with the understanding that lying, cheating and stealing were honor offenses that would get you expelled. It is a good concept although during my 4 years there UVA never had the outstanding sports teams of the other ACC schools without honor codes. But that was also in part because Virginia did not relax admissions standings for athletes, either and all of theirs used to be able to read and write.
I agree with Frank that it's not very realistic to expect college students to abstain from sex, but there's nothing wrong with a code of honesty and accountability at institutes of higher learning. Far too few of them even care. And I also agree with Stan: If you know the rules going in and especially if you're getting a free ride, you don't get a free pass because you choose to ignore them.

He went to the coach and told him what he had done. Good for the coach to uphold their rules but I wonder how this will play outside their religious community?
Anyone here ever been on the BYU campus?. Lots of different stuff there. I wonder if he moves to southern Utah if he can then have plenty of wives?
While there once on Friday night in our pre game walk through I had a BYU Officer tell me I could not smoke my cigar in the out of doors on BYU property.
I lived in Salt Lake City for 18 months, nice place to visit, judge or run.
What schools had no arrests of athletes last year? Take a look at the last SI. TCU and Colorado. Poor old Dan Hawkins won the battle but loss the war!
This is what he was all about!:
Vinny last hunting year
53 pheasants in South Dakota 200 + ducks in Idaho
Lasting memories Vinny was 13+ years old!
UW just had a kid busted, marijuana, who had the potential to get significant playing time at the RB position. Mother is a cop . The leading scorer in the PAC-10 this year gets busted for the same offense, WSU is a bubble team & he's not on it so they are hurting. His dad, the 1978 #1 pick in the NBA draft is not very happy with his kid & is very public about it.
IMO - if young folks go through their formative years without ethical guidance adults have not done their job. I applaud all involved including the young man for their actions, though I believe the code a little puritan.
Back when guys my size could play 4 positions on many teams & BYU was ranked in the top 10 regularly I was offered the opportunity to go to BYU. Not sure I would have signed that pledge .

I had the honor and the pleasure of judging June Atkinson's Holway Corbiere in the Shooting Times Cold Game Test at Sandringham in the early 80s in the UK. He won first place and was an amazing dog. June, who is now deceased was one of the best dog trainers I have ever known. I had the good fortune to be able to go to training sessions with June several times over the years during visits to England and l learned a good bit from it. Her son Robert is still running Holway kennel. Considering the impact that Holway Barty had on the field-bred Goldens, one might look back to his source for potential sires.
Here is a good article on June by Graham Cox, who was one of the four judges for the 2012 IGL Retriever championship. Graham also is a great cheerleader for Goldens, and has done quite well in field trials with them.

Lactic acid is produced by the body especially during high-intensity exercise. Bacteria also produce it by the fermentation of lactose, a sugar found in milk. In addition, lactic acid is found in fermented dairy products like cottage cheese, kefir and yogurt. As a result, lactic acid is often referred to as milk sugar. It's lactic acid that gives sour dough bread its distinctive flavor and fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi and pickled vegetables their mouth-puckering sourness. Lactic is approved by the FDA to be used as a food additive. In the medical and pharmaceutical industries, lactic acid serves as a starting point for making other compounds. Lactic acid is also added to some detergents, inks and lacquers due to its superior scum-busting power.
In the cosmetics and skin care industry, lactic acid is classified as an alpha-hydroxy-acid. Alpha-hydroxy-acids are natural acids derived from fruit and milk that have keratolytic properties when applied topically. As keratolytics, they help to slough off dead skin cells from the outer surface of the skin so that healthier cells can be revealed. Research shows that alpha-hyroxy-acids like lactic acid improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Lactic acid also increases skin thickness and firmness, giving it a more youthful appearance. There's some evidence that it penetrates the dermal layer of the skin where it boosts the synthesis of collagen and elastin, two proteins important for youthful-looking skin. In addition, it helps to lighten areas that are darkly pigmented as a result of sun damage. That's why lactic acid is an ingredient in some anti-aging skin care products.
Lactic acid helps skin retain moisture and has been used as a moisturizer to treat dry, itchy skin for over seventy years. It functions as a humectant, an agent that attracts and holds onto water. It has the added benefit of filling in the spaces between skin cells in the outer layer of the epidermis called the stratum corneum. This helps to reduce roughness and make skin feel softer and smoother. It's a particularly good moisturizing ingredient for skin damaged by exposure to the sun.
Dermatologists and aestheticians use alpha-hydroxy-acids like lactic acid at concentrations of up to 70% to do superficial skin peels to remove dead skin cells, improve fine lines and wrinkles and lighten skin discolorations, while concentrations of lactic acid at concentrations of 10% or less are available in skin care products for home use. Daily use of lactic acid containing products helps to loosen and slough off dead skin cells to improve skin texture and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Some products that may contain lactic acid include moisturizers, facial cleansers, conditioners and anti-aging treatments. Lactic acid is also used to adjust the pH of some cosmetic and personal care products.
Is lactic acid a safe ingredient in cosmetic and personal care products? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies lactic acid as generally recognized as safe" as a food additive and recognizes it to be safe in cosmetic products for home use at concentrations of 10% or and concentrations of up to 30% in salon skin care products. Some people experience redness

My research is focused on the hormonal regulation of the differentiation and function of ovarian follicles. The mammalian ovary contains a pool of non-growing, primordial follicles; we are studying the signals that stimulate follicles to leave this resting pool and initiate growth, as well as factors that inhibit the initiation of growth. The conditions that allow continued follicular growth in vitro, especially the transition from primary to secondary follicles are also an area of current interest.
The mechanisms by which a few follicles are selected to complete development and ovulate are also of particular interest and we are studying the role of changes in the IGF system in this critical stage in follicular differentiation. I am particularly interested in the differentiation and relative roles of the two endocrine cell types in the follicle, the theca and granulosa cells, and in the relative roles of the two pituitary gonadotropins, LH and FSH, in the regulation of follicular function. We are elucidating some of the interactions between these two cell types by isolating and culturing theca and granulosa cells from follicles at defined stages of follicular development. Currently, those studies are focused on the differentiation of the two cell types, and their roles in the changes in production of hormones such as progesterone, oxytocin, and prostaglandins, during the period just before ovulation.
Cattle are the primary animal model for these studies. A variety of techniques, ranging from ultrasonography to monitor the growth and regression of follicles over time in vivo, classical endocrine methods (i.e., immunoassay), and histological morphometry to analyses at the molecular level, are employed in experiments in vivo and in vitro.

Rust Encapsulator can be applied with the Undercoating System, but this application isn't recommended because Rust Encapsulator requires surface to be free of grease, oil, and loose rust. The best product to coat inside box sections is the Heavy Duty Anti-Rust (16017 ZP). This waxy, oily product flows into pinch welds & through rust to seal surface from contact with moisture & air, but cannot be painted over so is only suitable for inside box sections that don't show. Use lacquer thinner for cleanup.
Work in a well ventilated area when applying this product. The use of a respirator like our Professional Respirator (34029) is recommended when applying this coating.

I know everyone in the world can buy chicken stock from just about any grocery or convenience store and it is just that, convenient but wholly lacking any depth of flavor. If you really want to have a secret weapon in your arsenal of culinary tricks, consider having homemade stock on hand in the freezer at all times.
The definition of stock is flavored water and it is exactly that, simple and easy. I typically save the bones from any meats I have in the freezer until there are enough to put them in a pot with water to simmer. But you can always buy bones from any butcher very inexpensively to make a pot of stock.
I freeze the stock in several ways; in plastic pint and quart sized deli containers, zip lock bags and in ice cube form (pour into ice cube trays, freeze stock, pop out of the ice cube trays and store in zip lock bags or airtight containers). That way I can pick just the right amount of stock to defrost for each recipe instead of having a large container or can of stock or bouillon open. (incidentally, if you choose to use store bought, you can still freeze the stock in ice cube trays and use as needed)
Chicken Stock
5 pounds chicken bones
4 quarts water, approximately
Rise the bones under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place the chicken bones in a large stock pot and add just enough water to cover the bones by 2 to 3 inches. Bring the water to a boil, over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer the stock. Using a ladle, skim any foam, fat and impurities from the top and continue simmering until the stock is flavorful, about 2 1/2 hours.
Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve and cool down in an ice bath. Use as needed or freeze in different sizes for future use.

Sento spectacular -- Tokyo's amazing public baths
Does the thought of getting nude with the neighbors or starkers with strangers in your local sento, or public bath, raise a smile or make you cringe?
Whatever your personal take, most reading this will be aware the process of bathing in true Japanese form has long been a communal, often social, activity.
Even so, it's still one part of traditional life that can put some visitors, and nowadays Japanese too, on edge.
Still, if you're not too far on the shy side, we recommend you swallow your pride, understand that your own bits and pieces are of little interest to anyone else and take off the towel.
Then and now
To most Japanese people, sento are a thing of the past, born of an era when houses did not have their own bathrooms in the decades and centuries up to around 1970.
Records show that on the morning of September 1, 1923, there were an estimated 2,800 sento in Tokyo alone.
Just two days later, following the biggest quake to hit the city in living memory, that number was down to around 400, with the rest having gone up in flames.
Today, the number is back up to 1,200 or so in the immediate Tokyo area, with nationwide numbers estimated at anywhere up to 7,000, depending on who you ask.
Clearly, then, there's still a call for the old local bathhouse.
How to sento
So, what's the best way to get yourself clean, enjoy the experience and then leave a sento without causing offense?
Get naked. Do it, don't think about it, and don't worry; nobody is looking.
Note -- only do this once inside the correct changing room. All public baths are segregated by gender. Just in case you were wondering.
Armed with a small hand towel for modesty's sake, as well as your toiletries, head into the main bath area and deposit yourself on a plastic stool in front of one of the personal washing spaces.
There is usually a mirror on the wall, a shower nozzle and hot and cold taps.
Rinse off any dirt and grime with water at a temperature you feel comfortable with.
Use body soap, shampoo and rinse off every single last sud on your body or in your hair. Repeat at will but make sure the suds are gone once you've finished.
Head to your bath of choice and get in slowly. Make sure the towel does not enter the bath. Balancing it on the edge of the bath is fine, as is on the top of your head.
When ready, get out, rinse and try a different bath. Nothing to it.
But don't forget
Yen. You won't need a lot -- ¥450 (US$5.75) is the standard charge in almost all sento for anyone over the age of 12, ¥180 for kids over six and ¥80 for the mites.
Post-dip, all sento have vending machines or refrigerators with soft drinks and beer. Bet your bathroom and home can't match that.
Towels, toiletries. Best to take your own toiletries to the sento in a bag, otherwise you'll have to lay out a few more yen for shampoo and soap as well as towel rental.
Off-color water. Many older sento in the Tokyo area use water pumped up from deep below the surface, whose color is naturally yellow or black depending on the area.
Some sento even have water with a reddish tinge and small black flecks in the water. All is quite natural and the result of mineral deposits.
Closing days. There are no set rules governing days off, but most sento are closed one day a week -- it'll be posted, along with operating hours, outside the main door.
Now you know what you're doing, in theory, it's time to head to your first sento.
Our best baths follow, with no apologies for six of the seven being on the east side of the city -- the working-class, so-called "downtown" area, still alive, well and packed with sento.
A lovely sento in the backstreets of Senju, near the Arakawa River, Takara-yu, like others in the area, has a carving of the Seven Lucky Gods of Buddhism above its main entrance and an ever-present ready-to-fire bow and arrow dangling off to the left.
Herb and radium baths are available and on the men's aide a small Japanese garden with resident koi carp can be viewed while cooling down after bathing.
Senju Motomachi 27-1, Adachi-ku, + 81 (0) 3 3882 2660; open 3 p.m.-midnight, closed Friday; www.slowtime.net
Daikoku-yu is a regular on Japanese television shows and is one of the more striking sento in Tokyo.
Its street facing façade looks like it could have been removed from a temple, and paneled scenes from Japanese history adorn the ceilings of the changing rooms.
Perhaps the highlight is the wooden indoor and outdoor tubs that always surprise and delight first-time bathers.
Senju Kotobuki-cho 32-6, Adachi-ku, + 81 (0) 3 3881-3001; open 3 p.m.-midnight, closed Monday.

Rokuryu Kosen
Once the bathhouse of choice for late-19th-century novelist and poet Mori Ogai, Rokuryu is round the back of Ueno Park, not far from the nation's first zoo.
The waters here are amber in color and are said to be particularly good for skin issues.
In the evening Rokuryu is used as a changing and bathing facilities by the area's many joggers, so can get busy.
Ikenohata 3-4-20, Taito-ku, +81 (0) 3 3821 3826; open 3:30 p.m.-11 p.m., closed Monday.
Found in the Asakusa area, along with around 30 other sento, Jakotsu-yu is a great spot to head to after the nearby firework display every summer while a million other folk try and fit on the first train leaving the area.
A huge image of Mount Fuji dominates, with mosaics of pines and cherry blossoms on other walls.
Vending machines issue tickets and are multilingual in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean.
Asakusa 1-11-11, Taito-ku, +81 (0) 3 3841-8645; open 1 p.m.-midnight, closed Tuesday; www.jakotsuyu.co.jp
Unusually -- Japan traditionally bathes at night -- this bath is open from early morning, making it the perfect pit stop before a day out in Ueno or heading to the airport.
Tsubame-yu has its own rock garden next to the baths and a large painting of Mount Fuji looking down on all.
In case you hadn't guessed, if you tour more than a few sento, you'll come to feel something's missing when a bath doesn't feature a glowing pink or white Fuji.
Ueno 3-14-5, Taito-ku, + 81 (0) 3 3831 7305; open 6 a.m.-8 p.m., closed Monday; www.tsubameyu.com
Saito-yu in its present, second-generation, form dates back to just 1960, but is one of very few nowadays offering a nagashi service.
That's the rather charming deal where a bath attendant will scrub your back and give you a seated massage after -- all for just ¥400.
If that's not enough, there are also radium and ultrasonic jet baths.
Higashi Nippori 6-59-2, Arakawa-ku, no telephone; open 4 p.m.-midnight, closed Friday; saito-yu.com
Perhaps technically an onsen, but out in west Tokyo in the hills of Okutama, Moegi-no-yu makes for the perfect end to a day hiking in the surrounding mountains.
A large indoor bath and an outdoor wooden bath with views of the valley can be enjoyed by all for ¥750, as can a free footbath outside for those still on the go.
There's a great selection of post-hike food and drink in a relaxation area above the baths too.
Okutama-cho, Hikawa 119-1, +81 (0) 428 82 7770; open 9:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m., closed Monday; www.okutamas.co.jp

I really didn't have any idea just how large this had grown ... in such a short time.
I can remember a thread on this forum from a couple of years ago discussing the Bakken oil, and there was at least some skepticism that the technology existed to extract this oil cost effectively. Amazing what has happened in just a very few years.
The article mentions that the state of ND has a $1.6 billion budget surplus, and they can't build infrastructure fast enough ... even though they have the $ to do so.

OK I just bought myself a pair of MDR XB 700's 3 days ago to see for myself what all the fuss was about.
Overall so far I'm pleased with my purchase. Although I find these cans generally speaking a fail with metal/rock/grunge they completely own when they're used on the electronica/rap genres. These cans have some very nice deep bass slam and I found the bass to be generally well controlled and acceptably defined for my tastes. The highs have passable detail without being shrill and the mids are generally also good. I'm surprised how good the bass slam on this thing is. You get some very nice low frequency slam without it being bloated, muddy, and most importantly the bass doesn't bleed and overpower the mids and highs. The form factor is generally nice and I was glad to find out that a nice leather poach for storage is included when you buy the headset. Although these cans are mostly plastic they don't feel flimsy in my hands and feel like they will last a long time with proper care. The fit is excellent and the clamping force for my head is just right. There may be better headphones out there that can do the bass head thing better but considering most of the competition is pricier the XB 700's are a steal for the kind of sound signature your getting. These cans sound signature may not be prim proper snooty audiophile grade sound but they are a incredibly fun sound signature to groove to and play around with different electronica songs with.
For those who already have the XB 700 get the album Tweekend by The Crystal Method. This album sounds so freaking neat on these headphones. I couldn't help but smile while I listened to it on these cans for the first time.
I wish Sony had included an alternate product package with this model. I would gladly have thrown an extra 10 or 20 bucks down if I could get a decent protective box for this headset instead of the standard issue leather pouch. These cans also lack a 1/4 inch plug so if you want to hook up (depending on your gear) you'll need to have your own 1/4 inch jack on hand. Although these cans are being marketed as mobile headphones they are far from ideal as on the go cans.They're rather big and don't fold up so you'll need room in your bag for them and because they only come with a soft poach you'll have to be careful of hard knocks etc if you don't want to ruin them. These are not a good choice if you're seeking an all purpose do it all set of cans. If you like your industrial/metal/rock/grunge overly bass heavy then OK whatever floats your boat but for most people these headphones won't work for certain genres. Put simply these can's aren't a headbanging headphone they're cans meant for the bass head not the rocker. They're also not audiophile headphones so if you want to dissect music get a pair of mid/higher end AKG's, Sennheisers or Grado's. As said above in the Positives section if you just want a fun sound signature to groove to then these are the cans for you.
The LoL section:
When I first bought these cans I couldn't wait to get home and listen so I ripped open the packaging and plugged them into my iPod and wore them while doing my errands for the evening. In a span of two hours I had 1 guy say "nice headphones, must be nice to have headphones that double as pillows" and 2 friends who I ran across commented "hey princess Leia when did you get a sex change and become a man". Be prepared for a little light ribbing when wearing these in public especially if you have friends who are Star Wars geeks.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
An Occurrence Somewhat Near Owl Creek Bridge
Stop me if you've heard this one in turkey country: "Those birds usually fly down and walk right through the front yard every day."
Sure they do. Except for the day you're stupid enough to sit in someone's front yard and try to kill one.
But there I was in Alabama one morning, hearing about the gobblers that came up from the hollow and waltzed right through Charlie's spacious front yard every morning. In fact, I was told, I could probably sit on the porch and shoot one that day.
My host meant well, but I'd have no part of it. I was a turkey hunter, and by God, I was going to hunt turkeys. So I slipped through the timber, eased as close as possible to two roosted gobblers, uttered soft tree yelps and waited patiently … until the birds flew down, walked up the hollow and then strutted through Charlie's front yard.
I worked some turkeys at other spots the next two days, but hunting was tough, and my friends and I were getting desperate. The longbeards of Charlie's yard always stuck in the back of my mind. Could lightning strike twice? Would I be dumb enough to actually sit in a guy's front yard and wait on a turkey?
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Update: More people coming forward in timeshare scam
BBB: Ask questions, get licensing information
MADISON, Wis. - Numerous people are coming forward to report they've been victimized by people offering to take their timeshare payments off their hands. This comes after Tuesday's News3 story alerting people to the Better Business Bureau warning Wisconsin residents who own timeshares to be careful about solicitations promising that they can help ease their financial burdens.
"I feel bad I didn't try to question them," said Art Boehning, who traveled from Janesville with his wife to the BBB on Thursday to file a complaint in person.
Boehning and his wife have a timeshare in Florida and have been frustrated by rising fees and declining property value.
When they were approached last fall by a company that promised to take on their timeshare obligations in exchange for the Boehnings purchasing another travel package for roughly $4,000, they gave out their credit card and thought they'd rid themselves of their timeshare. They've since found they still own the timeshare, owe its fees and can't get through to the company that took their money.
"They painted such a rosy picture," Boehning said. "It was just too hard to turn down. Now, I found out it was too good to be true. That's what happens. They prey on people like us."
The Boehnings brought numerous documents to show Kimberly Hazen, who runs the SW Wisconsin Better Business Bureau. She said the paperwork may have looked official, but it held numerous names of companies and mailing addresses, leading to a virtual guessing game for anyone trying to track them down.
"Their whole point is to confuse," Hazen said, pointing out that few people regularly deal in deed transfers or title transfers. "The manipulation game is getting more and more complex. I mean, we have stacks and stacks of fraudulent papers and the only point of those papers is to look legitimate."
Hazen advises consumers to push back against any sales pressure that insists upon a snap decision, to ask numerous, detailed questions, to get licensing numbers as anyone buying or selling timeshares in Wisconsin is required to be registered with the state, and if you have any questions or doubts, to walk away.
"Ask for help," Hazen said. "I mean sometimes the senior population is more worried about asking their kids for help because they don't want to look vulnerable, they don't want to look like they can't control their own money, but in these situations, the more information, the more help you can get, the better."

heheheheheheheehe I found all of wave 3, but I have yet to find ANY of the Wave 5 builders. They're popping up at wally worlds, so i'll just keep my eyes peeled.
For those of you who still can't hunt down Sauron, etoys has him again!
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
The wave 5 builders have been hitting KB toys for the last few weeks, you checked there yet JMG?
Happy hunting!
Jpak001- sadly, here in Athens, we only have 1 wal-mart and the nearest KB is in columbus and i only make it up there every so often. I got my spring break in a few weeks, and cols will feel the wrath of the collector known as JMG!! tehehhee

Looks like KB has the 11 inch Gollum for pre-order. I'd like to get one, but I don't really care for the idea of a figure that's not in scale with any other lines.
I love the interchangeable head thing!
Heads up: Wave 3 is hitting TRU. I just found a fresh case of wave 3, got my Galadriel and caped Prologue Elf!!! WOOOHOOO!
Check your TRU's, the stock guy said it came in yesterdays truck.
Good luck!
Found this at RTM. Outer Reaches is getting large quantities of the Prologue Elf for pre-order due to arrive in May ($9.99 ea). This may be the way to go for you army builders out there since he's only packed one per case.
I bought some Marvel Legends figs from them before. It took a little while to arrive, but they did show up and were packed very well.
YES!!! I just pre-orderd four Elves. Nice call jpak001. Thanks for the heads-up. Now I can relax, and save my $$$ that I would have spent on filling my gastank searching for this one per case figure. ($2.00 / gallon here in L.A.)
I last went to Walmart on Tuesday and they had a rack full of LOTR figures. I seen about five Galadriels, six or seven Prologue Elves, and tons of Aragorns, Ringwraiths, Frodo, and Merry and Pippens. Im still searching for them lousy army builders. I hope a Gollum like the 11 inch kind is made for the 6 inch figures with interchangeable heads. It just seems like it would be better than a bendy kind. Im worried that with time the bendy will get stiff or something. Anybody know how long ToyBiz plans on making LOTR toys?
