I can almost guarantee the sequel to ROC will not make those numbers, Roboto. A lot of people went to the first to "give it a chance." Audiences are less willing to take a chance on a sequel to a movie they know sucked.

"Long live the Oktober Guard!" Even though I dislike Tunnel Rat, the twins, and Mindbender, I liked this episode.
Last week's episode was inspired. Not only did they bring in an old favorite of mine, but the idea of a Joe trapped in a suit for all time (or at least an undetermined amount of time), as opposed to a Cobra, was such a novel twist, and so obvious in retrospect that I'm surprised it's not been done before (so far as I know).
That's my jacket!
Airtight's episode was stronger than most of, if not all, the rest. I hope that more of the episodes left are in the vein of this one.
I never posted my thoughts on the ending.
That about sums it up.
Renegades finally gets a DVD release listed for June. They're throwing it under the bus again, hard. Not only is there almost a full year after the final episode, but it's just half the season! And there's no blu-ray (not that I care, but it doesn't seem especially like they're wanting to sell lots of copies). Nothing like the hoopla about Prime (AKA "Casting Cullen and Welker Was the Extent of What We Were Willing to Do Right"), which got a full-season set, with extras, on both DVD and blu-ray.
God, I hate Hasbro and the way they sacrificed the best Joe series ever made for their live-action movies.
That's my jacket!
Uh, Extreme??? Are you kidding, or did you mean Resolute?
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I figured it was a joke, which is why I hadn't responded.
I loved Resolute, but Renegades beat it. I like that the DVD version fixes the weird transcription "Honor returned to the site" (s/b "On our return to the site," and it made people wonder who the heck "Honor" was), but I loathe the ending with the empty grave. This may have been the first we saw of Resolute Storm Shadow, but it was a fitting end (particularly when this is definitely a "final battle," with Major Bludd, Zartan, and possibly Cobra Commander getting killed as well). It's a especially dumb epilogue since they don't plan to continue it.
That's my jacket!
Yes, Extreme was truly a joke of a series. In case you need a refresher:
I will always have a fondness for the original Sunbow series. Resolute was the GI Joe of my dreams. Renegades showed promise. It looks like the premise of the series is the premise of the upcoming sequel. As such, I think the show might pick up where it left off some day. Hasbro's channel will have new GI Joe shows eventually.

Pick and preserve
Reaping the Last Harvest
by Rebecca Underwood
It seems like just when production hits full swing, fall chills begin to set in and the garden season comes to a close. Don't despair, though! The following ideas can help you make the most of your final harvest. Even if you don't have a garden of your own, local farmers and gardeners may be all too happy to let you scavenge these goodies after a long summer of picking and preserving.
At the first freeze, extra honeydew melons and cantaloupes can be peeled, seeded, cubed, and frozen in bags. Thaw in the fridge and serve as needed. Or, if you find the softer texture unappealing, make sorbet and/or healthful popsicles. Simply puree the frozen fruit with a little simple syrup (equal parts of sugar and water dissolved) and a squeeze of lemon or lime to taste; freeze in a pan for sorbet or pour into popsicle molds. To serve sorbet, blend frozen mixture again just before serving. Alternatively, make cheap and nutritious "breakfast juice" by blending frozen melon cubes with water and a small amount of sugar or honey.
Green tomatoes can be picked and salvaged just before the first frost. In the south, they're battered and fried for a tasty side dish. Simply slice 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, batter and fry until golden on both sides. Try dipping in a mixture of 1 egg plus 1/3 c. milk, then dredging in a mixture of equal parts flour and cornmeal, or use your favorite batter recipe. If frying doesn't appeal to you, chopped green tomatoes make an interestingly tart addition to homemade salsas or relishes. And if you're really adventurous, you can even try green tomato pie, another old-fashioned southern favorite. Fill an unbaked pie crust with green tomato slices; sprinkle with a tablespoon of cornstarch, about a cup of sugar, cinnamon to taste, and a few small dots of butter (opt.). Top with second crust, crimp edges, vent, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes.
When the first freeze is predicted, don't let those baby veggies go to waste. Go ahead and pick the tiny summer squash and zucchini. Gather all the other odds and ends vegetables that will otherwise be lost. Wash, trim, and toss them together in freezer bags. Stir-fry straight from the freezer with your favorite seasonings and toss with pasta for a quick winter meal that reminds you of summer. Just be sure to blanch any hard veggies (green beans, sliced carrots, etc.) in boiling water for a minute or two and drain before freezing.
As temperatures really begin to dip, harvest as much of your herb garden as possible without harming the plants. Dry herbs by hanging upside down in a cool place with low humidity, or freeze if you prefer. Frozen herbs can only be used in cooked dishes, but dried ones are very versatile. Consider crumbling dried herbs in interesting combinations to give as potpourri, seasonings, or bath teas for Christmas.
And, last but not least, salvage some of those garden leaves and blossoms. Select the best just before frost and press dry. They'll come in handy for fall craft projects and decorations. You don't need to buy an expensive press to do this. Just cut 12-inch squares of corrugated cardboard from discarded boxes. Sandwich as follows: cardboard, topped with 3-4 layers of newspaper, then a single layer of leaves/blossoms, more newspaper, and a final square of cardboard. Continue sandwiching several batches and bind tightly with two cast-off adjustable belts that crisscross like ribbon on a gift (or tie tightly with strong cord). Every few days, check leaves and tighten belts slightly until drying is complete. Store flat and admire your handiwork throughout the holiday season.

I'm transitioning from Java to C++ and I'm finding the process of going through a book very tedious. Would it be a good idea to look over code examples and just see if I can figure out what's going on there as opposed to finishing this book? (Accelerated c++).
Also, can anyone provide some decent C++ code examples?

By David Wheeler/Special to the Journal
With the high school baseball season officially beginning this week, the Bruce Trojans are the lone Northeast Mississippi team standing as a defending state champion.
Can the Class 2A title- holders do it again in 2013?
"I'm sure our guys will show up every day to play baseball," Bruce head coach Josh Dowdy said. "If we get in the playoffs, anything can happen."
Dowdy and the Trojans are dealing with eight players lost to graduation, and will be looking to second baseman Trey Hall and outfielder Taylor Shoemake for leadership as the only two returning starters.
"We're asking for three or four freshmen to play key roles," Dowdy said. "They've been with the team the last couple of years, were there for the state championship, and we're hoping they bought in to what needs to be done.
"I think Taylorsville will back from the South, and we have to of course worry about Calhoun City, which won our division last year. But I think in the North, you can look at East Union, and also Hatley, as two teams to beat."
urchins:high hopes
The East Union Urchins are coming off a 24-10 effort from 2012, and face a lot of expectations in 2013.
"The last few years, we've been young," East Union head coach Chris Basil said. "Now we're seniors and juniors.
"We expect to be there competing for a state championship, but it depends on how hard we work."
Basil has an experienced group to count on, with seniors Cody Dillard and Dustin Pratt, juniors Trey Barkley and Tray Davis, and Ingomar transfer Austin Sanders some of the important pieces to a championship puzzle.
"Our biggest challenge will be making sure we play for our team," Basil said. "Our division (1-2A) is tough as always, with Hatley having some really good kids back like Russ Johnson.
"Baldwyn is always there, and you can never count out Hamilton."
East Union split its classic weekend openers, losing to Kossuth 5-0 and defeating Thrasher 4-1.
The Urchins enter a challenging portion of their schedule right off the bat, facing New Albany today at 6:30 p.m. at Pontotoc, and Oxford and Booneville later in the week.

Constable viewed this scene at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth Bay as expressive of his own feelings and personal associations. He connected the tempestuous weather with the death of Captain John Wordsworth, the poet's brother and his friend Mary Fisher's cousin, who drowned near this cove with all two hundred of his crew in 1805. C.R. Leslie's wife saw the mezzotint at Constable's home in Charlotte Street, London, and asked if she could have it. Constable sent it to her the following day suggesting that she should
apply to it the lines of Wordsworth – 'that sea in anger/ and that dismal shoar'. I think of 'Wordsworth' for on that spot, perished his brother in the wreck of the Abergavenny (Beckett III, pp. 28–29).
In the list of contents for English Landscape this mezzotint was called Weymouth Bay, Dorset. – Tempestuous Evening.
Lucas had begun work on this plate by January 1830 – as an impression in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, is dated '30 January 1830' (Tate 1991, p. 349), – basing it on the large oil painting Weymouth Bay c.1819/1830 . He made at least five progress proof variations before the published state, of which this is the third. During the proofing, highlights on the waves and boat were added and the sky lightened above the cliff and on the left. This proof was printed before three gulls were added on the left.
Heysen wrote: 'The news of the two prints – … Weymouth Bay – excited me and you may be sure I shall await their arrival with impatience' (Heysen, 1948?, NLA MS 5073/1/7190); and
now for the Weymouth Bay which is an extremely fine & rich early proof – I like it immensely & am glad to have it. Looks as if its just come off the press – later on I must have a complete proof with its final … with the driving rain which completes the compos & so [relieves?] the large dark space to the left – and the big space of dark dividing the composition in two is somewhat relieved by the introduction of more forms & yet this would also – lessen the dramatic moment (ibid., 23 February 1948, NLA MS 5073/1/5594).

Lots of family fun and learning experiences are not the only advantages of an unforgettable trip to Israel. Just imagine your child some day saying to his or her child, "I remember coming here when I was your age." This four-day Galilee itinerary reaches for that goal.
Your first stop can be the biblical tel of Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley, less than two hours from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Learning becomes fun at this mound with 25 buried cities, especially at Megiddo's 9th-century BCE water tunnel. Next, head for the Beit Alfa synagogue mosaic in the eastern Jezreel. The ancients made the floor a series of pictures in stone that everyone, then and now, can relate to. A short imaginative film depicts the artists who created the floor and the elders who commissioned it. Water fun awaits you at the springs of Gan Hashlosha (Sakhne). You can then hop over to Tiberias for a fish dinner on the Kinneret Lakeside promenade. Or, if you're planning to eat meals at your accommodations, stop at the supermarket to pick up the fixings.

While strip testing our SS509 Nova project car for our last installment (July 2012), we couldn't depress the go-pedal too quickly off the line or the Nitto NT555R Drag Radials (325/50R15) would spin. The rear of the body was lifting instead of squatting during launch and the front end wasn't rising to shift the weight to plant the rear tires.
We wanted the Total Cost Involved front clip, which is designed for superior road holding, autocross or road course action, to also work on our Nova SS509 street/strip car, but we had a problem. Or two. The old school traction bars (aka slapper bars) usually work well with a stock-type front suspension that has a few more inches of suspension travel. The slapper bars were not working with our reduced front suspension travel. Also, the rear shocks that were in the car when we bought it probably expired sometime during Ronald Reagan's first term in office. To put it mildly, they were purely decorative at this point.
Technology advancements in the suspension and tire department have come a long way in recent years and we needed to take advantage of that and put it to use on our Nova. After looking at the options for our leaf-spring suspended X-body, we felt Competition Engineering's Slide-A-Links would be a step in the right direction. At the same time, we ponied up for a set of Competition Engineering's adjustable rear shocks. And are we glad we did. We swapped-out those old slapper bars and shocks and everything got better. The Nova's ride, handling and hook improved enough to make us feel like entering an autocross or road course competition for some additional fun. Our 60-foot times improved at the strip, despite our being handicapped with lots of summer heat and humidity. Read along and see the easy installation and how we made out strip testing with the Slide-A-Links and Comp Engineering adjustable rear shocks.

Are you a man or a mouse? You have heard the phrase plenty of times. Perhaps you have even said it. Basically, it is intended to encourage bravery in those on the precipice of indecision—or pressure them begrudgingly into dreaded action. It varies.
Generally speaking, one opts to be the man is these situations.
And yet, there is a mouse that defies such logic—a mouse that wears his heart on his sleeve and his pride on his pout. I am, obviously, talking about Mickey Mouse, and he does not care for the implications of man versus mouse. He feels it is derogatory, and frankly, he finds it to be beneath you.
Of course this is just an assumption, I have never talked to Mickey about such things. Ours is a relationship based mainly upon photo ops and churro consumption.
The things is, Mickey is a mouse of passion (see below) and an innate sense for doing right by those he cares about. Also, really sticking it to those that wrong him. I'm looking at you, Pete.
And so it is that in the newest Disney animated short, Get a Horse!, our pal Mickey, along with romantic love interest Minnie Mouse, his friend Horace Horsecollar, and proverbial hanger-on Clarabelle Cow, takes a stand of heroic proportions against the no-goodiness of one Peg-Leg Pete. Be warned, this is Mickey Mouse reliving his glory days, and admittedly he is a bit of a scamp.
However, the film, created and directed by Lauren MacMullan (The Simpsons) is more than just an ode to the good old days of Mickey Mouse and his somewhat mischievous ways—so much more.
How much more? Consider this: Mickey Mouse is voiced by none other than Walt Disney. Yes, that Walt Disney. The did it with his real words using a special kind of Disney magic called "technology."
Speaking of technology, Get a Horse! is in 3D and starts in hand-drawn black and white before it takes an amazing leap into the colorful world of computer animation. I do not use the word "amazing" lightly.
Seriously, it is amazing.
A few weeks ago I visited Walt Disney Animation in Burbank, CA to view Get a Horse! and speak with MacMullan about the short. My takeaway from that talk was that she was, and is, very humbled by the opportunity to work with the "original" Mickey Mouse and the voice of Walt Disney, not to mention being the first woman to solo direct a Disney film. Also, she is rightfully proud of the finished project and all of the work that went into it.
I'm not going to give away too much because that would be mean. You've worked hard, and you deserve to see Get a Horse! without any preconceived notions—except this one: AMAZING. That's all I'm going to say.
The short may not make anyone alter their answer when it comes to being a man or a mouse, but it definitely makes the latter much more appealing.
Get a Horse! will show before Disney's Frozen when the film opens in theaters later this month.

For Immediate Release Contact: Ron Harris January 2, 1998 Sharon Snyder Ian Stirton Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON-The Federal Election Commission today released the results of a survey of reporting political committees regarding electronic filing of financial disclosure forms.
An independent consulting firm commissioned by the FEC sent survey questionnaires to a sample of over 1,000 of the myriad political committees (PACs, parties, and Congressional campaigns) registered with the FEC and received responses from 69 percent of those. The answers confirmed that most of the committees-some 85 percent of the respondents-have access to computers in their committee or campaign operations. Three-fourths of the computerized committees have access to modems, and two-thirds of those committees can reach the Internet.
Bottom-line results of the survey indicate that the filing community has the basic infrastructure to take advantage of a voluntary electronic filing program for campaign disclosure reports, and there is generally a positive attitude about filing reports to the Federal Election Commission by that method.
The survey also shows, however, that while some 20 percent of filers use computer software specifically purchased for bookkeeping and preparation of FEC reports, 66 percent of all filers continue to prepare their disclosure reports manually and 6 in 10 filers who have computers file manually. Still, some 48 percent of all respondents stated they believe electronic filing would give the public easier and more rapid access to campaign finance information, and 70 percent indicated that electronic filing should save them time, after the initial setup.
Respondents to the survey were divided in their preferences over alternative methods of submitting reports electronically. Over half of the respondents preferred a dedicated modem-based system in order to direct-dial into the FEC's computers, while the remaining respondents were split between mailing computer diskettes and utilizing Internet e-mail as the transmission vehicle. A primary concern of many respondents was ensuring the authenticity and security of reports transmitted over the Internet.
To accomodate filers, enhancements to the FEC's voluntary electronic filing system, due for implementation in February, will incorporate all three alternatives.
Congress passed Public Law 104-79 in December 1995, instructing the FEC to develop and implement a voluntary electronic filing system that would allow political committees to file FEC reports electronically rather than on paper. Since its inception in 1975, the FEC had received all disclosure reports on paper, which then required some time to complete the data coding and entry process to the Commission's database.
In the 1995-96 election cycle, for example, more than 8,000 committees filed financial reports with the FEC on a monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual basis, all in hard-copy format. That resulted in nearly 2 million detailed entries made to the agency's disclosure database, requiring over 30 days per reporting period to complete the coding and entry process.
During 1996, the FEC took the necessary first steps in an electronic filing program, which included promulgating regulations, providing technical support to software companies, establishing format specifications for different types of FEC report data, developing internal systems to receive and process filings, and developing various methods and techniques for disclosing and disseminating information electronically by the differing community of filers. As of January 1, 1997, the Commission was capable of accepting electronic filing.
In mid-1997, the FEC began receiving reports on computer diskettes from those committees desiring to do so. Currently there are nine committees filing by that method (see FEC Webpage http://www.fec.gov). In October of 1997, the Commission offered its own software program, at no cost to committees, that allows committees to electronically maintain their records and generate reports.
The report concludes, "...the results of the FEC Survey for Electronic Filing illustrate the variation in computer capabilities and attitudes within the filing community. However, they also underscore the high level of computerization and the positive attitude that most FEC filers have toward the electronic filing of disclosure reports. ...With this information, the FEC is in a much better position to develop an electronic filing system that fits the needs and capabilities of the filing community as well as the needs of the Commission."
# # #
Copies of the "Survey for Electronic Filing, Final Report" are available to the media through the FEC Press Office, 202-219-4155, and can also be found on the FEC Website.

Simple. I am going to put the 4 main positions of need as it seems in the poll, if you're GM...who is your first pick?
Edit: Lol my bad...poll seemed to be bugged, but the options were going to be WR, CB, DE, and OT.
Best Player Available, I prefer to draft talent over need. If the best talent happens to be a need also then even better.
*******The NFL is a Coaches League*******
I would trade down to pick up another or 3rd pick, then go with a WR late in the first, defensive backfield / LB next, then OT, then WRs with our 2 third rounders
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
BPA for a need. I would like to see them trade back and pick up more picks for this year and next.
BPA regardless of need. We have no talent becuase we constantly pick someone that is a need, like Ginn over Willis. I'm sure we can add a ton of other examples to those two.
Simple, WR's Rounds 1-7. Done!
CB is the glaring need this has to be fixed first and foremost if we ever are going to win anything.
The secondary is responsible for 90% of our losses. Draft, f/a, trade, whatever. Do them all but get it done.
But, with the way this team is right now, I like the bpa at need. cb/wr/pass rusher/te/ol in that order.
3 td's from our wide receivers total pathetic
This year's draft doesnt have a "MUST HAVE" or "ELITE" reciever. Alot of good ones with some upside, but not elite. I would go defense 1st round CB or DE. Our defense is slow we need some young guys that can swarm the ball.

Chris Nilan says he doesn't know where convicted Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger got a Canadiens Stanley Cup ring, but insists it wasn't from him.
"Either someone gave it to him or he commissioned someone to have a ring made," Nilan told The Gazette on Tuesday. "I don't even know what it looks like, to be honest with you … who knows? I know they put a picture out there of a ring, but I don't know if that's the ring. I mean, anybody can put a picture of a Stanley Cup ring out there with my name on it, right? Because people have taken pictures of it … but I have both rings with me right now."
Nilan was part of the Canadiens' 1986 Stanley Cup team and actually received two rings from that championship. Nilan gave his original ring to his father and when former Canadiens general manager Serge Savard found out what Nilan had done had another one made for him.
"I have both rings here … I have my father's ring, because I'm getting it re-sized," Nilan said Tuesday. "He gave it to my son (Christopher). And I have my other ring."
Bulger, a mobster who terrorized South Boston in the 1970s and '80s as head of the Winter Hill Gang, was found guilty Monday in a Boston court of gangland crimes, including 11 murders. The 83-year-old faces a sentence of life in prison with sentencing set for Nov. 13. Nilan's ex-wife, Karen Stanley, is the daughter of Bulger's ex-girlfriend, Teresa Stanley.
On Monday, the CBS affiliate in Boston reported that Bulger waived his right to have the jury decide whether he must forfeit $822,000 in cash, along with guns and personal possessions found in his Santa Monica hideaway when he was captured in June 2011 after 16 years on the run. The report added that in a court filing released Monday it was revealed Bulger wants to hold onto one special item: a 1986 Canadiens Stanley Cup ring. The ring still remains in government possession and there's no guarantee Bulger will get it back.
The CBS report stated: "The ring is believed to have once belonged to former Hab Chris 'Knuckles' Nilan."
Nilan was contacted by The Gazette by text message late Monday night and responded at the time he had no comment on the Boston story. But Nilan contacted The Gazette by phone Tuesday morning saying he wanted to clear the air about the story and his relationship with Bulger.
"I married Karen … I didn't marry (Bulger)," Nilan said. "You know, he was always good to us … he was good to my family. As far as the other stuff, I don't condone it. He's paying the price now for what he did … and you know, that's life. But honestly, I had nothing to do with giving him a Stanley Cup ring."
Nilan also sent an official statement to The Gazette about reports on the Stanley Cup ring. You can read it below along with a web link to more on this story:
(Photo by Dave Sidaway/The Gazette)
Recent media reports have inaccurately asserted that James Bulger is in possession of a 1986 Stanley Cup ring given to him by me. Those reports have no basis in fact. James Bulger was never given a Stanley Cup ring by me at any time.
I won a Stanley Cup ring as a member of the 1985-86 Montreal Canadiens. I gave that ring to my father, Henry Nilan. I am currently in possession of that ring as it is being resized as a gift to my son, Christopher.
In 1988, Montreal Canadiens general manager Serge Savard heard that I had given my original ring to my Dad and Serge generously presented me with a second Stanley Cup ring which I wear to this day.
I commissioned a jeweller here in Montreal to make three women's Stanley Cup rings for my mother, my former wife and my late mother-in-law, Teresa Stanley. My former wife and my mother remain in possession of their rings. Mrs. Stanley wore her ring in her casket and before her burial, at Mrs. Stanley's prior request, that ring was given to my daughter.
At no time, to my knowledge, did I or any member of my family give James Bulger a Stanley Cup ring. I have no idea where any ring in Mr. Bulger's possession was made and I hope that this statement provides absolute clarification in this matter.

'At blossom time in Washington, I think of the former Mayor of Tokyo who gave the cherry trees to the United States sixty-three years ago in friendship and faith.' (Karsh)
Yukio Ozaki was a liberal politician who was elected 25 times to the Japanese Diet, serving in that body from its inception in 1890 to 1953. He was Mayor of Tokyo from 1903 to 1912. In 1905 Ozaki sent 3000 cherry trees to Washington, DC., which adorn the city in springtime with cherry blossom. During the 1930s, as an independent politician, he criticised the growing influence of the Japanese military and advocated the vote for women. He was imprisoned during both world wars.

Family: Anacardiaceae, Cashew view all from this family
Description Poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix or Rhus vernix) is a woody shrub or small tree growing to 7 m (20 ft) tall. It grows exclusively in very wet or flooded soils, usually in swamps and peat bogs, in the eastern United States and Canada. All parts of the plant contain a resin called urushiol that causes skin and mucous membrane irritation to humans. When burned, inhalation of the smoke may cause the rash to appear on the lining of the lungs, causing extreme pain and possibly fatal respiratory difficulty.
Poison sumac is a shrub or small tree, up to 20 feet in height, with 7-13 leaflets per pinnate leaf. These are oval to oblong; acuminate (tapering to a sharp point); cuneate (wedge-shaped) at the base; undulate (wavy-edged); underside is glabrous (hair-less) or slightly pubescent (down-like hair) beneath, and are usually 2-4 inch long. Its flowers are greenish, in loose axillary panicles (clusters) 3-8 inches long. The fruits are subglobose (not quite spherical), gray, flattened and about 0.2 inches across.
In terms of its potential to cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, poison sumac is far more virulent than its relatives poison ivy and poison oak. According to some botanists, poison sumac is the most toxic plant species in the United States (Frankel, 1991).
Warning One of the most dangerous North American plants. The clear, very toxic sap turns black on exposure and, for many people, causes a severe skin rash upon contact.
Habitat Swamps (fresh & salt), Watersides (fresh).
Range Great Lakes, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Eastern Canada, Southeast, New England, Texas.

This Gibson I did with Redheart over Poplar. This piece of poplar came from northern WI and when I cut it, it turned out to have a bunch of lead shot in it. Someone must have took a poke at a grouse when the tree was younger because it didn't have and holes in it when I first cut the block. I wonder it that is what caused the color change in the wood? Kind of unique.
Thanks for looking Scott


text: So I Started a new duck club and in this one they don't allow dogs to sleep inside the club house at night. My dog is primarily an inside dog but in order to condition her to the elements she's been sleeping and spending a lot of time in the pen. Still though I'm concerned with her dealing with the extreme cold in her crate since TN hasn't gotten real cold yet. I have an insulating jacket for her crate that I'll use but any suggestions on bedding or other ideas to keep her warm? I was gonna do straw but I can't because she'll be riding in her crate from the fields and get it all wet everyday. Would a water resistant factory bed work? Thanks so much in advance

Quoting martinitony:
I can't beleive I'm replying.. but since I am stuck here for 10 mintues:
Your point about causation and correlation is well known and applies to anything. Stretching your point to cover the statistical well known correlations between evidence and global warming theory is simply the wrong use of the correlation/causation argument. Else, there is never causation and no theory is possible.
Second I referred to denialists as denialists ebcause i thought that was the PCI term. Call it whatever you want. Not interested.
Third, you have not answered any of the points above, namely what is the mechanism for all the melting ice and other myriad physical evidence of global warming.
Fourth, yes the earth has seen many swings and cycles. NONE have been this fast and NONE when the population was so internetworked and living at the edge of the ecosystem envelope.
Finally, so in the end, based on your rebuttal, I take it that you admit your post of the graphic and your prior arguments are void. (You have admitted that at least twice yourself if you go back and read your posts carefully.)
Now, I don't even lurk anymore, seeing as I can't resist answering.

The Maquis, Part II (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Sisko tries to rescue Gul Dukat, stop the Maquis terrorists, and prevent a new war with the Cardassians.
Summary Edit
Calvin Hudson, now part of the Maquis, has Sisko, Kira, and Bashir at his mercy. Sisko demands to see Gul Dukat, whom the Maquis abducted, to which Hudson accuses Sisko of siding with the Cardassians over him. According to Hudson, the Maquis's top priority is peace but insists the Cardassians' crimes cannot go unpunished, and Sisko points out that it is revenge, not peace, they seek. "I prefer to call it retaliation," Hudson smirks. After Sisko declines his offer to join the Maquis, the Maquis stun him, Kira, and Bashir.
Act One Edit
Admiral Nechayev is waiting for Sisko in his office when he returns to Deep Space 9, and Dax informs him that Legate Parn of Cardassian Central Command will be arriving soon as well. As well as expressing concerns that Odo is not suitable for the position as head of station security, Nechayev refers to the Maquis as "a bunch of irresponsible hotheads" and tells Sisko to talk to them. Sisko is left fuming, feeling that Nechayev's views are out of touch with reality and sounds off to Kira about what he feels is the real problem... Earth. Kira is confused, as Sisko explains that on Earth there is no crime or poverty and it is easy to be a good person in a place where there are no problems. For the people in the demilitarized zone however there are still many problems and they are doing whatever they have to in order to survive, all while Starfleet Command still expects them to be 'saints'. Kira appreciates and supports Sisko's true understanding of the situation, and informs him that Legate Parn. He is on his way to greet the Cardassian leader when Odo reports that he has caught "one of the Vulcan's accomplices."
Sisko arrives in the security office to find Quark in a holding cell. Quark attempts to evade discussion of his business with Sakonna but eventually reveals that he arranged for the Maquis to acquire weapons. While he had not heard of the Maquis at the time, he is sure Sakonna plans to execute her plans within the next few days. Legate Parn, upon meeting with Sisko, informs him and Kira that the Cardassian Central Command has discovered Dukat to be the leader of "a small group of misguided officers" who were smuggling weapons to the demilitarized zone. However, neither Sisko nor Kira believe him.
Afterward, O'Brien discovers the subspace distortion of the Maquis ship's warp drive and reconstructs their probable course. Sisko immediately leaves on the USS Rio Grande to rescue Dukat, along with Bashir and Odo. Kira however believes Sisko should leave Dukat at the mercy of the Maquis with him "getting exactly what he deserves". Sisko tells her before he leaves that "the Central Command wants him dead. That's reason enough for us to want him alive".
Act Two Edit
On one of the Maquis worlds, Sakonna attempts to establish a Vulcan mind meld with Dukat, who openly mocks his captors. When Sisko, Bashir, and Odo interrupt the interrogation, there is a momentary standoff, during which Dukat grows impatient. "Shoot them!" he yells and knocks Sakonna over, triggering a firefight. The Maquis are arrested, but Sisko allows one of them named Amaros to go free with a message to Cal Hudson that it is not too late to settle things peacefully.
Act Three Edit
They bring Dukat back to Deep Space 9, where he inquires about the fact that Federation, not Cardassian forces rescued him. Sisko tells Dukat about Legate Parn turning him into a scapegoat and the two men put past differences aside to work together to stop both the weapons smuggling and the Maquis. By this time, Odo has obtained an extensive list of weapons Sakonna bought from Quark, but he has been unable to find out more. The crew focus on the weapons smuggling instead for the time being. With Dukat's help, they find a Xepolite trader and detain a shipment of weapons from him, finally obtaining proof of the conspiracy.
Act Four Edit
Back on the station, Quark and Sakonna are sharing a holding cell. He calls her position with the Maquis illogical; she scoffs at the idea that a Ferengi can display superior logic to a Vulcan, but Quark quotes the Third Rule of Acquisition to her, "never spend more for an acquisition than you have to." The Maquis, and Sakonna, want to "acquire" peace in the Demilitarized Zone, and now that the Central Command's plan has been exposed, the two sides - the Maquis and the Cardassian settlers - are in stalemate, and "peace can be bought at a bargain price." But if the Maquis escalate the conflict, then peace with the Cardassians will become that much more "expensive". Quark challenges her to fault the logic in his argument. To her (muted) astonishment, she cannot.
She informs Sisko that the Maquis are planning to blow up a hidden Cardassian weapons depot in the next 52 hours, but she does not know where it is. Dukat says he can find the depot's location, and in the meantime, Sisko visits Cal Hudson one final time. He brings along Hudson's uniform, which Hudson vaporizes with a phaser.
Act Five Edit
The crew is waiting in runabouts when the Maquis arrive at the depot, and as neither Hudson nor Sisko wants to hurt the other, the resulting dogfight is relatively slow paced. Sisko's runabout and Hudson's fighter each try to disable the other. Hudson manages to knock out Sisko's engines, but his own phasers are disabled. He flees and, over Dukat's objections, Sisko allows him to escape. Ultimately, Sisko wonders if he has prevented a war or delayed the inevitable.
Memorable quotesEdit
"On Earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarized Zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints — just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!"
- - Sisko, on Nechayev's suggestion that he "establish a dialogue" with the Maquis
"Do you expect us to believe that a Vulcan would be interested in you for your lobes?"
"Vulcans are a species that appreciate good ears."
- - Odo and Quark
"The Maquis are a bunch of irresponsible hotheads!"
- - Alynna Nechayev
"Will you stop talking, and shoot them."
- - Dukat, to Sisko's landing party
"They have weapons, you have weapons – everyone has weapons, but right now, no one has a clear advantage! So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don't you get it? Attacking the Cardassians now will only make peace more expensive in the long run! Now, I ask you, is that logical?"
- - Quark, to Sakonna
"I don't understand, you're a Cardassian!"
"I'm not just any Cardassian. I'm Gul Dukat, Commander of the Second Order."
- - Drofo Awa and Dukat
"Legate Parn's ship just put in at Docking Bay Five. Maybe you'd like to give the same speech to him."
- - Kira, to Sisko
"All right. But first I want to make it clear that I was led astray by Sakonna's feminine wiles."
- - Quark
"Besides I'm afraid the place has lost its charm since the last time I was here."
- - Legate Parn to Sisko about DS9
Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- Ira Steven Behr is extremely proud of this episode and considers it to be one of the most important early episodes in establishing the darker Star Trek ideology for which Deep Space Nine would become famous. In particular, he refers to Sisko's speech to Kira, and the line "it's easy to be a saint in paradise", as expressing a much less optimistic view of humanity than had ever before been presented in Star Trek. Behr has said he always wanted to dig deeper into Starfleet, to see what Earth was really like, and to examine the paradise that Gene Roddenberry had envisioned. Indeed, he wanted to do this on The Next Generation but was never allowed; "I'd been waiting to say that line in Star Trek for a long time. We need to dig deeper and find out what, indeed, life is like in the twenty-fourth century. Is it this paradise, or are there, as Harold Pinter said, "Weasels under the coffee table." Sisko's speech in this episode was the beginning of our really starting to question some of the basic tenets of Star Trek philosophy. Because, yes, it's a paradise – but so what?" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe commented: "It's easy to be a saint in paradise, but this ain't paradise! It's easy to be a saint on the Enterprise, but it's a little bit harder to be a saint on DS9. Sisko is still kind of a saint, but he's a saint that just has to work a lot harder". (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p 100)
- Ira Steven Behr intended to have Hudson die at the end of the episode, but Michael Piller opposed this at the time. When Piller watched the dailies, he commented to Behr that he was right. (The Deep Space Log Book: A Second Season Companion, p 43)
- This theme of examining the most basic elements of Star Trek philosophy would return in Quark's speech about the Federation in the episode "The Jem'Hadar" as well as his speech about Humans in "The Siege of AR-558", in the third season "Past Tense, Part I"/"Past Tense, Part II" two-parter, in the fourth season "Homefront"/"Paradise Lost" two-parter, in Michael Eddington's comparison of the Federation to the Borg in the episode "For the Cause", in the character of Richard Bashir in the fifth season episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume", and would ultimately culminate in the creation of Section 31 for the sixth season episode "Inquisition".
- A line cut from the episode stated that Hudson and Sisko had once played dom-jot on Pelios Station against two Zakdorn on the suggestion of Curzon Dax. The two Starfleet officers clearly lost and Curzon told them that he had placed a high bet on the Zakdorn. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion - A Series Guide and Script Library)
- This is the first episode to introduce some ambiguity in relation to the character of Gul Dukat. Dukat had appeared five times prior to this episode (in "Emissary", "Duet", "The Homecoming", "Cardassians", and "Necessary Evil"), but had predominantly been depicted as a villain. In this episode, his character is fleshed out, particularly in the scene where he is speaking to the Xepolite hetman. After his conversation, Dukat notices that Kira is looking strangely at him and he smiles to himself. This ambiguity as to Kira's attitude toward Dukat would remain a recurring theme for the duration of the show, perhaps seen at its most ambiguous in the fourth season episode "Return to Grace". However, despite this ambiguity, Nana Visitor herself never wavered from maintaining that there could never be any kind of romantic relationship between Kira and Dukat: "To Kira, Dukat is Hitler. She's not ever going to get over that. She can never forgive him...she will always hate Dukat." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Referenced Rules of Acquisition: #3 ("Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to")
- Dukat's line that "on Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins" became the basis for the episode "Tribunal".
- Sisko would discover in the fifth season episode "Blaze of Glory" that Cal Hudson has been killed by the Jem'Hadar. That episode would also see the last activity of the Maquis, which has been wiped out due to the increased military presence in the DMZ brought about by Cardassia joining the Dominion.
- Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) does not appear in this episode.
- This was the final episode of Star Trek directed by Corey Allen.

Glory Announces GLORY 13 Tokyo on December 21st
- Written by Dave Walsh
Right in line with the rumors that we've been hearing, GLORY will be heading back to Japan for the end of the year once again, this time instead of on New Year's Eve it will be on December 21st at the Ariake Colosseum in a night featuring a Welterweight/77kg tournament. The only name announced for the tournament this so far is longtime Golden Glory member Nieky Holzken, who sits atop the GLORY rankings at 77kg/170lbs currently.
If I were to wager a guess as to who else will be involved, I'd look at GLORY 10's undercard fight between Alexander Stetsurenko and Karapet Karapetyan and GLORY 11's Joe Valtellini vs. Kharim Ghajji to complete the tournament spots, but that is just a [very] educated guess on my part. They also will be booking a series of Super Fights, for what they are calling a "SuperFight Series," which does make me curious as to what that exactly means. Once again, if I were to guess, I'd say that it had something to do with Spike TV.

The weekend of October 4-6 will be a historic moment in the 147-year story of Hope College. Building on the annual tradition of Homecoming at the college, this year's celebration will include arts, athletics, reunion events, a 5K run and 50K bike ride, worship, a wide-range of affinity gatherings, a new Taste of the South outdoor celebration, and inauguration festivities for Dr. John C. Knapp, Hope's twelfth President.
In a world with more ways to connect than ever, the Alumni Association continues to improve Homecoming. Based on alumni feedback, recent changes involve more alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members, increase opportunities for affinity events (like Greek Life, academic departments, etc.), provide a more flexible schedule for busy families, connect alumni with more students and faculty, and engage a variety of class years (not just traditional reunions).
This fall will mark the second year of many of these intentional changes. An updated reunion structure will continue to recognize traditional 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 year reunions at two new events for a wider range of alumni class years (these events replace specific class parties). In addition, the most recent graduating class and other young alumni will have new opportunities to connect with each other and with the life of the college.
The schedule is now full of affinity events, where alumni can catch up with the people, places and programs that shaped their Hope experience. A Hospitality Center has been added, so you can experience Homecoming whenever you make it to campus through an interactive campus scavenger hunt and even Segway Tours. Other traditions continue, including Chapel Choir, art exhibits, a 5K Run, an all-sport H-Club event at the football game, and departmental receptions.
Inauguration festivities also add to the energy of the weekend. On Friday, an Inauguration Ceremony for President Knapp will be held in Dimnent Chapel, followed by a Post-Inaugural Reception at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center. The ceremony is by invitation only and will be streamed online. The reception is open to all.
Festivities continue on Saturday at a new outdoor celebration called A Taste of the South, hosted by John and Kelly Knapp. This special event for alumni, students, inauguration guests, and families will include live music by the lady and gentlemen of Branches, a growing presence in the West Coast indie music scene. Giveaways, family activities and student groups will welcome alumni home.
A variety of alumni volunteer opportunities are posted to help make it all happen, including a group of over 150 alumni hammering away on keyboards, getting the word out as Social Media Champions.
Registration for the weekend is now live at hope.edu/homecoming. You can view the full schedule, see who's coming and sign up today.
If you are looking for the right year to come home to celebrate Hope at Homecoming, this is it. We hope you will show your orange spirit and blue pride this fall!
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 616.395.7250 if you have questions about the weekend.


text: In the Negev Highlands the ruined city of Avdat rises above the streambed of the Wilderness of Zin.Once, the Israelites wandered here. Later, the Nabatean sons of the desert, their camels packed with spices bound for the Mediterranean, founded Avdat. Together with its sister cities of Shivta and Mamshit, it became a stopover for their caravans. Under Roman domination, Avdat grew from caravansary to city, and when the Byzantines brought Christianity to the Negev, the Nabatean shrines became churches and Avdat flourished as never before. At one church, with a breathtaking view of the desert, you'll see a cross-shaped baptistery, alongside another, smaller one for babies. A wine-press reveals ancient agricultural skills that defied the desert, and that today's Negev farmers seek to emulate. You can also walk through a reconstructed Byzantine courtyard house, a cross still carved into its ceiling, a remnant of the hundreds of Christian dwellings that once stood here.

The Flying Dutchmen, already winners of four MIAA football championships this decade, are the pre-season favorite again in 2008. In one of the more bizarre ballots in the 38-year history of the pre-season poll of coaches and media, coach Dean Kreps' Dutchmen topped the poll despite receiving only two of the 15 first place votes that were cast. And none of the league's other head coaches put Hope at the top of their ballot!
Making presentations at the annual MIAA Press Day at Alma College on Thursday, one head coach after another talked of parity. The voting testified to that as teams ran the gamut in the ranking. In the final tally, Hope ended with a cumulative 27 points, followed by Adrian with 33, Olivet 34, Alma 56, Trine (formerly Tri-State) 64, Albion 67 and Kalamazoo 100. Adrian topped the schools with seven first place votes while Olivet treceived six compared to Hope's two.
"You don't win games through the polls; it's done of the field," said coach Kreps who has guided the Flying Dutchmen to six league championships in his 13 years at the helm. A year ago Hope and Olivet were co-champions. The Flying Dutchmen was 6-4 overall.
The Flying Dutchmen, with a pre-season roster of nearly 160 players, begin practice on Tuesday, Aug. 12. The season-opening home Community Day game against Illinois Wesleyan will be Saturday, Sept. 6.

Let's Share Clips! How to Make Your Own
I'll admit it. I can be kind of a luddite about newfangled technology and when I first heard about the new Clips feature on VideoBox, I wasn't very interested in checking it out. But once I gave it a shot, I realized that this thing is really cool.
I looked at the kinds of titles and tags folks are using and made a couple dozen clips of my own. I even made some new tags like female orgasm and flexible that blog readers have expressed enthusiasm for in the past. Others like oral creampie and finisher are already there, slowly being built up.
But I know that we all have tons of favorites we can make into clips and add to the pool, so I put together a brief how-to below for folks who haven't tried the feature yet or want a few tips on how to do it. I think the readers of this blog have been waiting a long time for a way to share our clips with one another and I'd love it if you'd all post a link to your own profile in the comments.
Making Your Own Clips
1. Find a scene with some interesting action. I chose Who's That Girl #2, Scene 1 because Lindsey Meadows finishes Vince Vouyer with an oral creampie.
2. Click the filmstrip where you want your clip to begin and drag to where you want it to end. You can adjust your choice by moving the tabs on either side of the clip forwards or backwards.

Very nice,safe , bright flat( 3 french windows facing rue Lepic) in a very convenient location on the foot of Montmartre, 3 subway station with 3 different lines within 5 minutes walk, bakery and supermarket direct on the street, lot of eateries in the neighborhood, despite living street under the windows quiet in the night, all neccessary amenities in the flat , conversation with the agency prompt , late check in and late check out was no problem for no extra fee...sofa in the kitchen was a little bit worn , cleanliness in the kitchen could be somehow better, but definitely much more pros, we would stay there again..
A very pleasent stay in a nice apartment. Location is great. We had a wunderfull time.
Will come back for sure.
Thank you
good flat, little problem the first night because, the door closed fron the interieur. We called people at the café to open. At 11 pm nobody were at the offici. And police not came. After that, all was good.
Nice apartment, great location. I would stay here again. The bed was very comfy and plenty of space for a couple. There were a few small negatives: the apartment is a little noisy until midnight and you can slightly hear the neighbours after that. The apartment is on the fourth floor (no lift) but that was ok for us. Finally, it could do with someone spending an afternoon with a screw driver in the apartment just fixing a few minor things.
Cosy, clean and spacious apartment (we were 4 people). Kitchen very well equipped. Location is top. Shops, starbucks and subway around the corner. Nearby parking in Clichy Montmartre (www.interparking-france.com 15 E per day). At night there is street noise in the living room. In the bedroom you hear nothing.
Wonderful and really nice place in an excellent district near restaurants and bars! Perfect for a family as well as friends! Host is very nice!
Great little appartment; lived up to expectations. Provided all you need for a short holiday stay in Paris. Good shops on Rue Bretagne if you want to pick up something to eat-in. Le Progress bar round the corner great for a drink and watching the world go by. 15 minute walk to Notre Dame and easy access to the rest of Paris.
It is a very Nice apartment and very good for a family with kids in all ages.
While this apartment has a great location in Latin Quarters, we didn't feel very welcomed by the host. Our plane arrived later than expected and it took us longer to get to the apartment. We called many times the number of the agent that we were given and asked to contact in case of delays. Nobody answered for two hours. The next door crepe owners were extremely nice and allowed us to use their phone and internet to try to connect with our hosts. An agent finally arrived and gave us a brief tour of the place. She looked too busy to spend time with us. The apartment was not bad, but definitely very petit. Bedroom was small with a smaller bed that is not long enough for a 6 foot person. The bedroom window looks out into an inner court with trash cans, which made it very loud every time one of the neighbors threw away trash. When someone walks outside the building, lights turn on automatically and illuminate the entire bedroom at night due to an absence of heavy curtains in the room. This apartment didn't feel like someone spent time preparing it for new guests. There were no soap left. Overall, it was definitely not worth the price and while waiting for the agent to arrive we found a hotel room in the area for less. When we asked via e-mail for an extra key since there were two of us staying at the apartment, we got a very dry and cold "no, sorry". Despite the discomforts of the apartment, we still enjoyed the convenience of its location.
The apartment was clean and was exactly as in the pictures. We didn't experience any problems with the host. The host was very nice and always available. Towels and sheets were provided. We had a pleasant stay in Paris.

Starters & Salads
Seasoned Pasta Salad
Tasty Pasta Salad with Veggies and Black OlivesThe star ingredient in this tasty pasta salad recipe: GOYA® Sazonador Total, a zesty blend of authentic Latin herbs and spices. Stirred into a lemon-mustard vinaigrette, it clings to the nooks and crannies of fusilli pasta spirals, adding a ton of low-sodium herb flavor in a flash.
A pasta salad is a terrific, easy side dish for a summer cookout or picnic. With GOYA® Sazonador Total, it tastes even better!
Serves 8
Prep time: 20 min.
Total time: 20 min., plus chilling time
Ľ cup GOYA® Lemon Juice
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. GOYA® Sazonador Total
˝ cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
˝ tsp. GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper
Pasta Salad:
1 lb. GOYA® Fusilli
ľ red bell pepper, finely chopped (about ľ cup)
ľ green bell pepper, finely chopped (about ľ cup)
1/2 cup sliced GOYA® Large Ripe Black Olives Pitted (about 3 oz.)
˝ red onion, finely chopped (about ˝ cup)
3 scallions, thinly sliced (about Ľ cup)
|In medium bowl, using whisk, mix together lemon juice, mustard and Sazonador. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking constantly, until thick and combined. Season with Adobo.
|Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse under cold water. In medium bowl, using large spoon, mix together cooked pasta, peppers, olives, onions and scallions. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat.
|Cover bowl with plastic wrap; transfer to refrigerator. Chill 30 minutes, or until dressing is absorbed. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Choose the Perfect Pasta
In this Seasoned Pasta Salad recipe, we chose fusilli pasta because the dressing easily clings to the spirals. But if you don't have fusilli on hand, reach for another type of pasta with mini nooks and pockets. We recommend bow ties, elbows and/or shells.

I had a fairly good Star Wars day today. I got the entire wave of the vintage collection. I got the entire wave 3 today of the TAC except obviously the Chewbacca and the Luke with vaporator. I also found remnants of the Legends wave, but it was only the figures destined to become peg warmers. No Troopers, or droids left. All of this was at my local Target so be on the lookout at yours. I also picked up an extra Quinlan to customize. I think I may use the TAC Obi-Wan's body. I was going to use Mace but then realized the body had too dark of a neck.
Also anyone who is interested, Toy Rocket bought out the remains of the Droids from Celebration 4. Follow the link and get one before they are gone.

text: UPDATE ON PUPPY Jan met Daryl at SeaTac. I guess spot went straight to Jan upon introduction, end of story. She now owns a alpha golden with a white spot on its forehead. Now the big story: Dispite having reserved space in cargo for the dogs, Alaska Air refused to ship dogs due to the ReDoubt eruption, Jan and Daryl both had seats on the same plane, Jan had a in cab carry bag for her pup so she ended up flying north to Alaska. Daryl ended up splitting a room with 5 other dog owners and calling her hub to come back and get her, a 4 hr drive over Snoqualimi Pass with a blizard. She will reschedule and fly again in a few days. Jans flight to Anchorage was diverted to Fairbanks, 400 miles north. AA would not do squat for her or others on the plane, just said they were in Alaska, and not reponsible for a "act of God". I guess several groups of about 5 each ended up renting cars and driving to Anchorage that night for about $500 per car for one way rental. I think they were told by AA that they could hang out in Fairbanks a few days at thier own epense and AA would get them back to Anchorage eventually. She called me at 5am, home at last, and wanting instructions on how to turn the water back on in the house.....Bud

Where Are They Now?
Thirty-five local icons and how they made history
By Hannah Kiddoo and Brennan Nardi
For what boils down to an essential snapshot of our city every month, we pack a lot into every issue of Madison Magazine. That's the first thing we discovered all over again when we went paging through past issues, reminiscing about this story or that, in preparation for our thirty-fifth anniversary.
We delve into controversies—remember Monona Terrace and the caucus scandals? We take readers into the heads of entrepreneurs, governors and playwrights. We pay attention to education in Madison classrooms. We cover design in homes, civic buildings and businesses. And breakthroughs in biotechnology, glass ceilings and addiction treatment.
For thirty-five years, our pages have reflected the myriad cultural changes, the exploding population growth in the city and the suburbs, and the companies and institutions—changing or venerable or struggling to reinvent themselves.
Most of all, though, we have written about the people who have influenced Madison through the years. Madison Magazine covered the rise of women and people of color into leadership roles in civic organizations, businesses and government. More than a dozen issues devoted a swath of pages to the people who were trying to make Madison lakes cleaner, healthier and more appealing. We reported on University of Wisconsin–Madison students and leaders, on its past and future, on its sports teams and the geniuses who brought scientific breakthroughs to the world from campus labs and the University Research Park. And we touted the brilliant academics and innovators at Edgewood College, Madison College, high schools and pre-schools.
We featured profiles of smart business owners and devoted community organizers. Writers, artists, doctors, yoga teachers, scientists, famous actors, triathletes, musicians passing through town on tour, ambitious politicians—these folks and many others ended up on our pages.
While some of our issues contained harrowing tales of unsolved murders, and others reflected the panic that came with AIDS, our archives are also a record of all that was sublime, once upon a time, in Madison. One of our first issues, heaven help us, contained a feature on "the local disco scene." Not long after, we reported on the emergence of big, blocky home computers and how everyone was rushing to buy them. We opined on nudity in the arts, buses on State Street and white-collar crime. In our retail listings, we noted which types of credit cards were accepted at which stores. Seriously, that was once a question to which you needed an answer.
We also discovered that, decades after our founding, many things about Madison remain the same: our commitment to locally produced goods, which is depicted in regular tales of farmers' markets, co-ops and successful entrepreneurships; our pride in innovation, as evidenced by the scores of stories on medicine and technology; our passion for politics; and our love of a good athletic event, as shown through countless profiles on star athletes and teams that made us stand up and cheer.
Over the course of the past thirty-five years, it would be an understatement to say that Madison has seen a steady cast of characters who have motivated, entertained and bewildered their fellow citizens. Best of all, as we realized by leafing through our own back pages, we have had the pleasure of interviewing many of them. So we wondered, where are these people now?
We caught up with thirty-five of them, and they all said that living, working or playing in Madison shaped them, often in fundamental ways. We say, in return for that influence, that they, knowingly or not, helped shape Madison. Each was featured in at least one past issue of the magazine, with many—but probably not all—of those issues noted by name.
Of our thirty-five, there are those we said would go places and, of course, they did. The water-skiing Larsen twins and the rockers of Garbage, for example. Others, like opera singer Kitt Reuter-Foss, haven't changed much, which we couldn't be happier about. Some, like politico Bill McCoshen, were young professionals in a hurry whose stars rose swiftly. Some, like politician Tammy Baldwin, moved steadily up the ladder to lofty heights, and others, like former police chief David Couper, made new and innovative contributions to their old professions. And then there are those who started in one place, moved forward to another, and came full circle back to where they had been in the first place. Yep, Mr. Mayor, we're looking at you.
Regardless of what their ZIP codes are now, each of these people made their mark on our city's incredibly rich history. They made us laugh. They frustrated us. They made us think. They inspired us and educated us.
Enjoy looking back and catching up. We sure did.

My new turkey dog Vic has been on a steady drumbeat of training for the upcoming fall season in WI.
There are some lessons he needed to learn early on such as-
There are no underground turkeys
and no turkey hides inside hollow logs.
But there are turkeys to be found by listening to and hanging around your master in the fields and woods.
Prior to the spring season Vic was introduced to some strutting gobblers the first one startled him into a barking retreat between my legs but as soon as the gobbler alarmed putted and flew Vic charged back barking all the way until a couple dozen unseen turkeys took to flight. He then stopped and stared.
The next flock of turkeys I pointed out to him and ran with Vic in hot pursuit flushing the turkeys while barking at em. Vic then got the idea of what we were doing, the next day he sniffed out some hidden gobblers, stalked then charged to flush and barked at them. It was a fine break that I hope happens frequently this fall.
Vic will be turning 6 months mid June with a lot more training required of course. Learning to sit quietly at my side and not bark at my turkey calls. Get use to gunfire up close and personal (been introducing loud noises suddenly)
Anyone else training up a turkey dog?
Let's start talking fall turkey--it is never too early to start obsessing about the next season.

Sow Squash Seeds
Grow in Good Soil
Water and Feed Your Squash Regularly
Harvest Your Squash
Eat Summer Squash while It's Fresh
Probably no other vegetable comes in as many shapes, sizes, and colors as squash. Summer squash (including the ever-popular zucchini), winter squash, gourds, and pumpkins are all part of the same family. The crops may look different, but they all grow in pretty much the same way.
Squash is a warm-season annual, so wait until the air temperature reaches 70 degrees F before direct-sowing seeds in the spring. In cool-summer areas, start your seeds indoors 4 weeks before your last spring frost date; transplant seedlings after the danger of frost has passed.
All types of squash need rich, fertile soil plus adequate warmth and water to produce their best. Amend the soil with a 2- to 3-inch layer of compost or other organic matter, such as Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil, before planting.
All squashes, but especially large pumpkin varieties, need a constant supply of moisture to reach their full potential. Apply 1-2 inches of water per week, and water more frequently during dry spells. Feed with a balanced plant food, such as Miracle-Gro® Shake 'n Feed® All Purpose Plant Food, at the time of planting and apply a follow-up feeding when the squash vines start spreading.
Summer squash - zucchini, crookneck, or straightneck - taste best when picked small, about 6 inches long. Use a clean, sharp knife to cut the stems about an inch above the fruit. Leave winter squashes, pumpkins, and gourds on the vine until they size up and turn the appropriate color for that variety. The rind will feel hard when you press it with your thumbnail. Harvest before a hard frost. Cut the stems 2 inches above the fruit.
Zucchini, scallopini, and other summer squashes are best eaten while they are young and tender. They don't store as well as other squashes, so try to use them within 2-3 days after picking. Cut them up raw to toss in salads, or they can be grilled, steamed, boiled, sautéeed, deep-fried, or stir-fried. They cook up especially well in vegetable mixes with tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms.

Hopefully I can snag the non-B/W DS games before they disappear (and while I'm at it, actually get B/W and B/W2). It seems as though Diamond and Pearl have just crossed that boundary, so they're still in the $40-50 range, not like the $200+ that new copies of the Advance games go for.
CodeZTM wrote:I'll admit that I personally enjoy getting full new copies over used copies, but why not just find used copies via Amazon or used game stores? I have about 3 copies of Sapphire (2 used one bought new on launch day), and their internal battery works just fine.
mirkosp wrote:If you instead just want to play them for the story, then dried battery shouldn't matter, as it only influences things like the in-game berry system and the mirage island number, which aren't really required to beat the game; you can very much save freely and all, and the savegame data will still be safe, unlike with RBY and GSC, if that was what was worrying you. If that's the case, I don't think you should need to specifically hunt down a working battery copy, thus you could save up some money by just grabbing a dried battery used one.

The ABCs of CO2
In simple terms, combustion tears apart the hydrogen and carbon atoms in gasoline molecules and unites them with oxygen from the air.
Although only a fraction of the energy from these chemical reactions - 15 to 20 percent, under the best of circumstances - makes it to a vehicle's wheels, burning a gallon is sufficient to send a 5,000-pound Ford F-150 about 17 miles down the road at a mile a minute or more.
But now one of the natural byproducts, carbon dioxide, is becoming a problem.
People are burning gasoline and other fuels at a rate that puts more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the planet can recycle through the normal exchanges among plants, animals, land, water and the air, say climate scientists.
Some carbon dioxide is needed in the atmosphere - not just because plants use it to produce nutrients for themselves and oxygen as a byproduct, but also to maintain moderate temperatures. Without the heat-trapping quality of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, the planet would be much colder.
But when concentrations of CO2 go too high, too much heat is trapped, climate scientists say.
Each of those gallons of gasoline puts an astounding 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The CO2 weighs more than the original fuel because, in combustion, each carbon atom has combined with two heavy oxygen atoms instead of very light hydrogen atoms.
The only fixes: burn less fuel containing carbon or find ways to take carbon dioxide out of the air.

Honestly, what was the point of that retort? To argue for the sake of arguing? Because I think that argumentative nature, combined with the ORG's sometimes elitist tendencies, is one of the reasons why it's not quite as well off as it should be.
