We suggest the following workarounds:
- Ensure all IMAP folders you access have a limited number of messages in them by moving messages to other folders or archiving them. For best performance, we recommend limiting your folder to less than 20,000 messages.
Note: Using the advanced IMAP setting to limit messages visible to IMAP will not help for the current issue. - Unsubscribe from large folders in your IMAP client, if your client supports this.
- Typically, the 'All Mail' folder is the largest. The only way to limit its size is to delete your mail, which we don't recommend. Disable access to the 'All Mail' label in your Gmail Settings in the 'Labels' tab. Uncheck the 'Show in IMAP' checkbox for 'All Mail' and any other large labels.
Note: BlackBerry's Enhanced Gmail Plug-In requires access to the 'All Mail' label. If you disable access and need continued access to your mail on your Blackberry device, you'll need to switch to a regular IMAP setup. Follow the instructions for Google Apps Accounts here. - Revoke 3rd party access to your account for any websites that access your account through IMAP.
- Disable IMAP in your Gmail Settings in the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab.
Extra space between lines when pasting text from Word
When you copy and paste text from Microsoft Word 2007 into Gmail, extra space may be added between lines. Here are three ways to avoid this problem:
- Hold the Shift key when you press Enter to create line breaks in Word.
- Change Word's default style settings to the Word 2003 style.
- Change your paragraph format settings in Word to add a 10pt space after each line.
POP, IMAP and Sync
IMAP clients timeout or crash when downloading very large folders
IMAP client stopped syncing mail from the server
If you are experiencing problems with your IMAP client, try changing the visibility of "All mail" and "Drafts" labels from the settings:
- Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings on the top of any Gmail page.
- Select the Labels tab.
- Ensure that the "Show in IMAP" checkbox is selected for both "All mail" and "Drafts".
Problems with country hostnames like "pop.gmail.com.br"
You might experience problems with your POP or IMAP client if you're using a Gmail hostname other than pop.gmail.com, smtp.gmail.com, or imap.gmail.com (such as smtp.gmail.com.br or www.gmail.co.in). We no longer support these country-specific hostnames for POP or IMAP since they were enabled accidentally.
To get your email client to work again, change your POP settings or IMAP settings to use the appropriate hostname from the three above.
"A message in your account was listed with an invalid size. It has been left on the server."
We've aware of an issue where you might be seeing messages with the text,"A message in your account was listed with an invalid size. It has been left on the server" when fetching or importing messages from another Gmail account.
We're working to resolve this issue, but in the meantime, you can use email forwarding to automatically send messages from one Gmail account to another.

I know about the blue dress in Giselle. But the dress in the photo that you provided has more fine detail on the bodice and skirt, and the shades of blue are not quite so brigth - because of that, it looks somehow subtler, even more refined in an understated way. I think some fine detail, especially on the bodice of Meryl's dress, is what it lacks. I guess, the plainness and the particular shades of blue is what makes me think of Disney. I remember seeing at least one or (even more than one) dress almost in those exact shades of blue in some Disney movie - plus, dresses tended to be very plain looking/without any small details on them in those older Disney movies. Yes, Meryl has the little flowers on her apron and in her hair, but they make the whole look even more cutesy. The same for Charlie's costume - it's too plain/primitive looking, and I personally don't like that bright shade of brown. But it's very probable that those are not the final costumes.
ITA, plus it must be so much harder and exhausting to place the highlight at the end of the program. Very inspired and creative thinking. I love the way their ideas, approach, music and choreography have come together this season, and the way they are always so positive and keep challenging themselves to grow.
104+ for the FD. Not bad considering first time out! Charlie bobbled the first twizzle a little, definitely not as clean as the short dance ones were. The lifts were beautiful but you can tell they still need more time to get really comfortable. They were really trying with the emotional connection but at the same time you could see that they were having to concentrate on the elements (which is understandable with the first competition of the season)and I don't think that it let them really release their emotions fully. I'm sure that will improve!
What was the real surprise was B/S beating W/P and soundly. 6 points better in the FD. W/P looked way surprised and I'm sure they are going to be going over their FD with a fine-toothed comb. It was obvious they had some small errors throughout but I was surprised at the 91 they got. Having said that, I did like B/S's FD...they have improved so much its incredible. Zhulin has sure worked wonders with them. I think the technical panel here was really tough. Which is probably a good thing in the first competition, you need some hard feedback to know where to tweak things.
I think D/W made a great choice with Notre Dame and its only going to improve. Not surprised at the haters in the pbp thread but then again I never am.
I understand where you're coming from but these competitors have to make sure that their costumes stand out in a large arena where brightness of color is important to add to the visual "pop" and impact they have against the ice surface. Meryl and Charlie especially are smaller in stature than some of the other skaters so they need costumes with bright strong colors that don't have too much "fuss" so it will not detract from their body line or overwhelm their frame.
I think there's a reason that Meryl selects brighter jewel tone colors for her skating dresses- they add strength to her presence on the ice and look beautiful against her dark hair. I can see why they decided to go with the brighter blue.
I think their SD costumes are fine though maybe they could do something to smooth out Meryl's skirt- it's a little bunchy looking.
Interesting side note: Tanith commenting that Meryl and Charlie had tried to put together the Sinatra FD but that it didn't feel right so they changed it again this year. So they haven't had very much time with this program.
Very rough version of D/W's FD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiVPXbOd_vY
I need to rewatch the FD b/c I was too nervous to really see it. Darn Charlie and those twizzles. They definitely have things to work on, this won't be like DF which didn't have obvious things to work on. Can't wait to see it again at NHK.
^I think I prefer that, actually. I like to see them grow throughout the season.
Thanks, literaryfreak! Off to watch now.
Saw the protocols. Definitely took a hit on levels, 3s on both step seq and the twizzles. And maybe one lift, I can't remember at the moment. Anyway, PCS was great, even got 2 10s. I love the bones of this program and it will get better! Nice that they have 5 weeks before NHK, plenty of time to really work it.
I hope they tweak the music cuts a little bit more ... I'm relieved that they don't just have Danse mon Esmeralda repeating for the entire program (it gets a bit repetitive) but I actually think they could use more of it (and less of one of the instrumental cuts).
Cinderella is the early princess in blue. Is this the look you had in mind
or maybe Belles' more peasant look
I kind of liked the blues in Meryl's dress, but wish she would get rid of the white flap thingy. It looks oversized compared to the ballerina's, but more importantly, it does not move well (prob because it is a heavier fabric than the skirt) and I found it kind of distracting at times. Also, I wish they had gathered it a bit at the waist to make it softer (and more like a real apron). I just didn't care for the flat, rectangle look.
This production has a dress similar to Meryl's, with the pale skirt/darker bodice and larger apron:
I guess we should just be grateful she opted against the wings.
I thought Charlie's outfit looked fine. Still, I think it's something we'd need to see in person to really judge. Colors can look so different from one monitor to the next.

I just saw the program.
That last lift... For the first time in watching these two skate, I felt they were passionate towards each other.
They were always passionate for skating, you can feel the attack and how they wanted to feel the music, but the way they relate to each other was never passionate. I would never think they were a couple by watching them skate together. I found that refreshing since almost all couples play the lovers on ice card and some can do it naturally (like Virtue and Moir) others not so much (lets not name anyone).
But I started wondering that maybe Meryl and Charlie were just not into it. Seems to me they turned a new page and I like it.

I love the beginning and the end, not sure about the middle. Something is getting lost there. But beautiful lifts, especially the one with Meryl on his thigh. Stunning. And so much emotion! The circular step sequence is a lovely moment, but I wish the structure of it allowed them to face each other more, since the music is so intimate.
Yeah, could using a bit more of Danse mon Esmeralda build to an even more impressive finish? That music is more moving than the instrumental bits, it would help get the audience into it more.
I realize there are all sorts of rules about tempo changes - I did not know that both step sequences have to be different tempos, as Tanith said early in the commentary! But I would not mind seeing one less instrumental cut or see it shortened, if they could make it work with the elements and rules.
There is an inversely proportional relationship between my favorite FDs and the number of music cuts they use.
So far I'm really pleased with the FD. Definitely an early season outing but they have so much to work with here! And I loved the way they related to each other. They have made strides with this every year. But this FD really shows it off. I'm very excited about their programs this year. It'll be interesting to see how much progress they can make before NHK. They have so much time and they have always been so good at taking feedback and using it to really improve their work. But they are starting from a great place with both programs. I'm definitely going to want to watch them over again and see more how I feel about them but my first response to both is positive.
I'll be interested to see the other top teams debut their programs. I haven't gotten to watch B&S or W&P and of course V&M, the shibs, P&B, etc. haven't skated yet on the GP.
I really loved Tanith's comment as they were coming off the ice..."If all they wanted to do is be the same old Meryl and Charlie they could go out there, attack the program, do their elements, have their tricks and be done with it. They are trying to add another layer to their skating and its going to take a little bit of time to get the speed up, get the fluidity of the transitions up, they will get there. It's a necessary direction that they are going to have to take their skating in if they want to have the whole package come the next Olympics."
NBC just showed their program! It looked gorgeous on my large screen HD television.
I really love W&P FD program btw and her costume. I'm excited they got new lifts! I think it's a smart idea for them to run with the modern niche they're creating. It's letting them shine at what they're good at while avoiding direct comparisons. I don't like their SD music, but I think they perform it well.
Watched the FD again on the NBC broadcast! Loved Meryl's FD dress in living color on a larger screen. The details of it are amazing- a really gorgeous modern rendition of a gypsy dress.
I'm still not sure about the overall concept but I do applaud them with the effort and hard work they put into remaking themselves this year.
It must be incredibly challenging to find a piece of music to fit all the tempo changes and technical elements mandating by the ISU.
I was listening to Tanith's commentary on Icenetwork and her comment about how strategic teams have to be and show this pre-Olympic year something that will be different from next year's program- the Olympic year program. Makes me wonder what Meryl and Charlie want to show and build towards next year...

On the White House's official Web site, there is a forum for citizens to craft petitions to the Obama administration. Recent posts include appeals to "abolish the illegal federal reserve and return to a gold and silver standard as defined in the U.S. constitution," "nationalize the Twinkie industry," and "shut down White House petitions, since they never get a sincere response, few read them, & they are ultimately worthless."
But enough with the frivolity. Moving on to a topic of national importance, Ohio State fans this week requested a pardon for their Buckeyes.
"The Ohio State University football team is one win away from an undefeated season," the petition read. "However, due to imposed sanctions, they are not allowed to participate in their conference's championship game or the following bowl season. While a punishment for past indiscretions is to be expected, a bowl season ban is too harsh for a few young men trading memorabilia for tattoos and some change. The offending players and coach who covered it up are no longer part of the program. Please exercise your executive power to pardon the NCAA's excessive sanctions placed on The Ohio State Buckeyes to enable a rightful, satisfying culmination to the college football season for the American people."
For the record, the petition has been removed for violating the White House site's terms of participation while the OSU administration has yet to announce plans to involve Washington. Athletic director Gene Smith again this week refused to second-guess the school's much-debated decision not to voluntarily decline a bowl invitation last year.
"I could sit here and give you a million other what-ifs had we taken that, but I'm not going there," Smith said. "I'm worried about making sure that we position our football staff, our student-athletes, and do everything we can to have the opportunity to beat That Team Up North. That's my mission right now. I apologize if that sounds insensitive, but that is the reality of what we have to do."

"Quitting now is going against everything I decided to prove months ago," she wrote. "Things will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and we still have to do what we set out to do."
She was hardly certain that running was the right thing to do, she said, but it seemed to her like her only option. She had raised all that money - $9,983 - in pledges that rested on her commitment to the marathon. And the whole thing was for her dad. She didn't want to renege on that.
"I wasn't doing this for prize money or something - and I was definitely not going to win any prize money," she said. "It was for a bigger reason."
So she found a flight to New York (she had planned to take Amtrak, but it wasn't running) and went ahead with her plans.
They weren't interrupted until Friday, when she was watching television at her hotel in midtown Manhattan with a few fellow marathoners who had come from France and Italy for the race. In an 11th-hour decision, the mayor canceled the marathon Friday evening, just hours before it was set to begin. They heard about the decision on the news.
"I don't speak their languages so I don't know what they said, but I know it wasn't good," Spangler said. "And I was thinking the same thing."
Missy and her cohorts weren't the only runners surprised by the decision, or who wanted to push on.
So on Saturday, Missy ran anyway in Central Park. It wasn't exactly the New York City Marathon - she didn't even time herself - but she made three laps of the 6-mile trail. The crowd was admittedly thinner than it would have been, but it was still overwhelming for Missy.
"There were just all these people and so much support," she said. "I could hear people cheering my name all along the way."
She used an app called "Charity Miles" that lets athletes track the distance they've run or walked and then donates 25 cents to charity for each mile. Missy logged her miles with the nonprofit Feeding America, which dedicated the proceeds to feeding Sandy victims.
Missy plans to run more races and is still raising funds for Parkinson's research. To donate or keep up with Missy and Team Fox, visit her blog at missyspangler22.blogspot.com.

The Duncanville independent school board is forcing what and the way us children wear our clothing. They never asked the students of Duncanville high school for our input on this subject. Most teachers and priciples tell us students we should stop acting like kids but when we try to act like adults they keep knocking us down and treating us like kids. The way we wear our hair, and the way we dress are all expressions of individuality. I know that there are certain points were dress code should be enforced, but taking away students individuality completely is un-American. Dress code does not have anything to do with the way our students learn. Khaki pants and solid white shirts does not improve our learning skills it is the determination and will to want to learn that improves our learning skills. It is time the school officals give the students their freedom of individuality. This petition is to change the dress code please sign your name and the reason you are in favor of changing the dress code.

If new AOL CEO Tim Armstrong keeps talking, the company just might reemerge Phoenix-like on the Internet landscape. At least that's what the results of audience polling showed at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference Thursday.
Fortune's David Kirkpatrick opened the interview by asking whether AOL would slowly "run out of juice, remain profitable but not a significant industry force, or return to health as a major Internet player." Using devices provided by SpotMe, 47% of attendees voted against the onetime Internet giant. By the end of the dialogue, that number had dropped to 30%, while those who believed AOL would be a player jumped from 53% to 70%.
Armstrong's successful pitch outlined five key focus areas for AOL going forward: content management, display advertising, local and mapping applications, messaging services, and AOL ventures. More

Dartmouth Women Stonewall Opponents |
Colleges - Women's College |
In their first weekend of 15s action, the Dartmouth women's program took on University of New Hampshire and Plymouth State in the Granite Cup. In the first match Dartmouth topped UNH 31-15. The DWRC went up early with two long runs from Ashley Afranie-Sakyi '13. The rest of the match went back and forth with each side added three more tries apiece. Dartmouth's young backline saw much improvement, stemming from a new scrumhalf-flyhalf connection between #9 Sandi Caalim '13 and former golf captain Katie Gulemi '11, now a fifth year engineer. In the second match, Dartmouth defeated Plymouth State 24-0 in a single half. Ashley Afranie-Sakyi '13 again led the DWRC with her breakthroughs and long runs. Co-captain Theresa Cassano '12 led the forward pack in tackling and stopped a Plymouth breakthrough that could have resulted in a try. Cassano described the matches as "a great experience for our newer players" and "expects to see overall improvement in the coming weeks as players settle into their positions". The DWRC is looking forward to their final week of preseason and a match against St. Mikes next weekend. Dartmouth- 31- UNH 15 Tries: Ashley Afranie-Sakyi '13- 5, Conversions: Ashley Afranie Sakyi '13- 2, Katie Gulemi '11- 1 Dartmouth 24- Plymouth State 0 Tries: Ashley Afranie-Sakyi '13- 4, Conversions: Ashley Afranie-Sakyi '13- 2 |

Despite shifts towards audience targeting across networks and exchanges, sometimes the right place to get in front of an audience is where they congregate. Wikipedia-style site Wikia is home to gamers, sci-fi film geeks and even alt-history enthusiasts who can create and edit content about their passions. It's where Bethesda Softworks is running a two-month long campaign for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a role-playing fantasy game complete with blood, violence, sex, and dragons.
"Video games aren't consumer package goods - you really have to find people who actually own the hardware in order to purchase the software," said Cara Scharf, president of Fearless Media, the agency that handled the ad buy.
Wikia recently launched main category pages and a redesigned homepage in order to surface popular content and organize it into three "hubs" - video games, entertainment and lifestyle. Wikia only began selling advertising directly a year and a half ago. Its small sales team focuses only on gaming and entertainment clients, which have included Sony, Universal and Disney. Though the media firm is building its lifestyle content - which includes food and travel - it has yet to sell directly to advertisers in those categories.
In Q4 last year, when Skyrim launched, Wikia users generated 14,000 pages associated with the new game, the fifth in the Elder Scrolls series. "We wanted to capitalize on the opportunity," said Wikia CEO Craig Palmer.
Through takeover skins on homepages of the three hubs, Bethesda is driving people to the main Elder Scrolls page, where thousands of sub-pages exist covering all sorts of game minutiae from problems with blacksmithing animation to lists of in-game books that can be acquired to boost character skills.
"This is really just to broaden the audience even further," said Scharf of the campaign. In addition to the large hub page ads, the gaming company recently ran ads featuring polls and sweepstakes. "We basically decided to speak back to the audience for the first time," said Scharf.
Palmer said, "Even before the launch they focused on making new content available to the community." Like many Wikia advertisers, Bethesda provided video and other content to key members of the community via the site's Content Directors who serve as liaisons to influencers on the site.
Lionsgate did something similar to promote The Hunger Games, offering members interested in the Hunger Games books exclusive content from the film studio. The idea is to get people to post the branded content on their own Wikia pages.

Day 3: Before heading to the Wilson's Creek Battlefield Park, I stopped at the stop and rob you store next to my motel in Springfield to obtain a bottle of water and some bug spray. I was amazed that gas prices were only $3.33 for premium. While talking to the clerk I learned that part of the reason is the low tax on gasoline. He said the price only got above $4 dollars once and only briefly last summer. He however attributed the low price of gasoline to the overall economic depression of the area. I was starting to appreciate what we have in Texas, sure we've been hurt by the economy too, but probably not as bad as some of these areas in the Ozarks. The clerk told me that he and his manager were both graduates with master's degrees and work in the convenience store was the best job they could find in the area. I was shocked when he said that police officers covet their jobs because they pay more than police work. I Was at Wilson's Creek when it opened that morning. The park already had a steady stream of visitors but other than a dozen or less other visitors, I had the "battlefield" to myself as the other visitors were there for walking, running, bike riding or horse riding purposes. Wilson's Creek has to be the most horse friendly Civil War Park I've ever seen, they provide parking just for horse trailers and the local riders do seem to use and enjoy it. I loved the battlefield, it is small and not that many official stops but there are numerous trails throughout the park that connect the various sites and it is quite picturesque. At first I planned to walk them all because the weather was perfect, sunny and in the low 70s. But decided that was not practical if I wanted to start Pea Ridge that afternoon. But I did walk most of it and certainly walked to all of the locations of major historical significance. The first stop and trail is for the Gibson farm and Mill where the initial contact between Union and Confederate forces took place just west of Wilson's Creek itself on the northern spur of Bloody Hill. Camped in that area were the cavalry forces of General James Rain's Missouri State Guard. Rains sent a warning to the overall Confederate commander Ben McCullough, but because Rains had, in McCullough's opinion, cried wolf earlier in the month, he ignored this initial warning. Acoustic shadows would play a key role in this early battle of the war and that had an effect as the battle began and later in the battle. The trail takes you to the mill site and the farm site of the Gibsons. At the mill the west bank is steep as it climbs up Bloody Hill and the creek, which is nearly fordable throughout the park, is quite deep here. Evidence of the sluices Gibson dug to funnel water to his mill are still clearly visible. The Gibsons were quite wealthy for the area from their mill business which was the primary commerce center for all the local farmers and for their large acreage of farm land. The local farmers were for the most part Unionists (ironically southern Missouri was pro-Union and northern Missouri was mostly secessionists) but they were still supplying the Confederate Army camped in their little area of bounty, mostly through impressments. In between the first two stops I walked the advance of Joseph Plummer and his regular battalion through the Ray's cornfield. For those not familiar with Wilson' Creek and Pea Ridge, both battles are prime examples of audacious plans to perform a double envelopment of the enemy from front and rear, with overly ambitious goals that were pulled off just enough to make historians go "what-if" they had scaled back the effort or had done a little more to pull it off? In the case of Lyon at Wilson's Creek, he was really outnumbered but still audacious enough to attack, hoping surprise would carry the day and it nearly did. Lyon divided his force into two with Franz Sigel going all the way around the enemy to attack from the rear (south) and Lyon would attack at the sound of the guns from Sigel toward the south. But Lyon then further subdivided his little force and sent Plummer in search of the Confederate right flank near the Ray House and to protect his own left flank. The problem was Lyon and Plummer could not readily support each other due to Wilson's Creek, especially the deep part being between them. So now, an outnumbered but still audacious Lyon was split into three forces with his more numerous opponents between them. The Ray Cornfield is still planted with corn so what I saw as I advanced through the cornfield is what Plummer's men saw. The second stop describes the plight of the local families even more, as it is at the Ray House. This home was the post office and Butterfield Stage stop on the Wire Road. Ray was the postmaster for the area and sat on his front porch watching the battle unfold in his corn field while his family hid in the cellar. As Plummer's men entered the Ray's cornfield, McCullough finally realized he had a problem. To his credit he kept his head and ordered the men who would be the unquestioned shock troops of the day, the 3rd Louisiana and the 1st and 2nd Mounted Arkansas Rifles, to the edge of the Ray Cornfield where they surprised and disrupted Plummer's advance. The Wire Road is quite evident as it goes past the Ray House as it heads north to Jefferson City and south and west to California. Based on the recommendation of my tour book I did not go to the east overlook as they said it was only a good view in the winter time. But I did hike the trails to Price's HQ, McCullough's HQ and the Pulaski Battery Site. At Price's HQ site the original Edward's cabin is gone, but they moved the post-war cabin of the same man to the site, so it may not be the original but the construction is said to be the same. Standing in front of the cabin it is easy to see why the Confederates chose the location, a nice flat open prairie with plenty of water about. Behind and to the left of the cabin is the southeast spur of Bloody Hill and I could imagine members of the Missouri State Guard fleeing into the flat prairie announcing to a startled Price and McCullough that the Yankees were atop Bloody Hill, only to have the artillery shortly begin to play over the Confederates in their camps brewing their morning coffee and preparing their breakfast. The Pulaski Battery Site indicates where that Arkansas battery was positioned so it could fire on the Federal troops in the Ray cornfield and atop Bloody Hill. The brother versus brother story of the Civil War is also told through this battery's story. Called the Totten Battery before the war it was named for its battery commander James Totten. But when the war came, Totten cast his lot with the Union and was in command of the 2nd US battery. In anger, the Arkansas men changed the battery's name to the Pulaski Battery. During the battle, Totten on Bloody Hill and his old battery exchanged several rounds and one of Totten's shots ripped the arm off of one of his former lieutenants, Omar Weaver The tour then goes to the second and final position for Franz Sigel and his enveloping force (the first position is off the park proper but one of the horse trails goes to it). The final position is astride the Wire Road and about 200 yards south of the Wire Road ford on Wilson's Creek. Unfortunately for Federal partisans, Sigel set up his one battery of artillery on the crest of the embankment from the creek and except for two regiments flanking this battery, his little force remained in column formation behind the battery on the road. Sigel's men were actually supposed to open the battle from the south but the acoustic shadows prevented both Lyon and McCullough from realizing his presence leading to inaction by both. From his final position, it was possible for an attacking unit to remain sheltered by the embankment to the creek until they were about 40 yards away from Sigel's' Battery and that is exactly what happened. After driving Plummer off in the Ray Cornfield, McCullough turned his Louisiana and Arkansas shock troops about face and marched them the ¾ of a mile to the Wilson's Creek ford on the Wire Road and attacked Sigel's force, driving them in a rout from the battlefield. Sigel had lost his nerve a mere half a mile from reuniting with Lyon's men on bloody Hill. The next three stops interpret the ultimate fighting of the battle on Bloody Hill. The first is the battery position for the Missouri State Guard Guibor battery showing its position half way up the slope of Bloody Hill. The next to last stop is actually Bloody Hill where a tremendous view of the whole battlefield is available. The site of Totten's Battery is marked by cannon. The trail takes you to the Lyon monument which implies that this is the site where Lyon was killed. But in reality, according to the tour book I bought, it is the site where his horse was found dead after the battle and the site of Lyon's second of three wounds that day. According the tour book, his third and fatal wound probably occurred on the park road near the actual tour stop. The terrain on top of Bloody Hill reminded me so much of my favorite hiking trails in the Texas hill country, the same prairie grass, scrub oaks, cedar trees, prickly pear and stony ground. The only difference was they don't have mesquite trees in Missouri. The Bloody Hill trail then takes you to the overlook where you may see the opposite view observed from the Edward's cabin. The trail winds back to the parking lot past the sinkhole but except for marking it on the park map, there is nothing telling visitors that this was a battlefield burial site at one time. In fact, if the guide book had not told me to look for it, I might have missed it. The sinkhole accounts for most of the ghost stories associated with Wilson's Creek. The bodies were hastily buried in the sinkhole after the battle and removed to the Springfield National Cemetery after the war. The final stop is at the rear of Bloody Hill and makes a complete circle of the battle figuratively and literally, as the stop talks about Lyon's force's advance to Bloody Hill and his retreat from it. On the slope of this open field, you may see the camping site of Rain's cavalry, which sustained the first combat contact of the day. From the battlefield I drove across the road to the former Tom Sweeny Museum. It is now in the hands of the NPS and your admission to the park gets you in here too. I spent an hour and a half looking at this wonderful collection that emphasizes the war on the Mississippi and the Trans-Mississippi. It is a must see and quite a handsome collection, but not as big as the Texas Civil War museum as I pointed out in my day one narrative, despite the Sweeny's claim of being the biggest trans-Mississippi Civil War Museum. From there, it was on to Pea Ridge where I arrived an hour and a half before closing time. My intention was to view the Visitor Center displays and movie and head to my hotel for the night. But the ranger suggested that since this was Sunday that I should go to stop 8, the Elkhorn Tavern, and see it that day because it would be closed and locked up on Monday and besides they had rangers dressed up in period costume today and not tomorrow. I decided to take that advice. For some reason I asked, "What happens if you aren't out of the park by 5 p.m.?" She replied, "They lock the gates on you and you can't get out." So I proceeded down the park road pushing the 25 MPH speed limit to maximize my time but quickly got behind a man and a woman on a Harley going about 15 miles an hour. Of course they seemed to get angry I was right on their tail but they were not stopping at the tour stops and not going any faster. Finally between stops three and four they pull over and I whipped around them and they both gave me the one fingered salute and he said, "Hey *******, are you here to see the battlefield or not?" I thought it was ironic. I finally make it to the Elkhorn Tavern site with an hour to spare. After looking at the inside of the tavern and trying to engage the reenactors in conversation I walked outside (apparently I am not as interesting as the 20 something young lady they were talking to). I still had 45 minutes, so I decided I still had time to hike the one major hiking trial in the park located at that site. But I was about to find out I discombobulated myself. There are two trails at the site, one is a one mile nature trail the other is the three mile historic trail. I took the historic trial thinking it was only a mile. The historic trail heads from the Tavern going north on the Wire Road it takes you past the position where Peter Osterhaus set up his batteries to defend the edge of the plateau that Elkhorn Tavern sits on. From there the trail goes down into a ravine where the tanyard foundation sits. This spot is only two miles from Missouri state line and it is where Sterling Price formed his men on his right for battle after executing Earl Van Dorn's overly ambitious double envelopment plan. This plan was similar to Lyon's at Wilson's Creek but in Van Dorn's case, the march was a winter march with almost no rations. The horrible road network had also not allowed the ammunition wagons to keep up with the army. I checked my watch, it was 4:30, I estimated I had walked a half a mile, so I only needed to walk the loop trail another half mile to get back to my car—no problem. The trail then takes you down the line of the MSG and over the area it advanced as it attacked Osterhaus and drove them toward the tavern. For those who have never been there but have been to King's Mountain in South Carolina, that is what the slope and terrain made me think of as I climbed the hill back to the tavern. After twenty minutes, I was sure I had walked at least a mile through the dense forest and there was no indication or feeling that I was getting back to the Elkhorn Tavern. I also knew the trail was supposed to hook up with the historic Huntsville Road before it turned back to the Tavern, which sat at the junction of the historic Wire and Huntsville Roads. With 10 minutes to go until closing time, I proceeded to run the last 1.5 miles of the trail much of it up hill. At 5:10, I finally made it back to the tavern. A ranger was there in a Gator cart and she said, "Is that your red car?" I was real apologetic and said I had no idea the trail was three miles long. She smiled and said don't worry about it; still it was an embarrassing and exhausting way to end the day. Last edited on Tue Oct 14th, 2008 09:55 pm by David White |

Mexican Smugglers Are Shooting Drugs Across Border With Cannons
Shooting dope takes on new meaning.
As the U.S. continues to crack down on drugs crossing the Mexican border, smugglers are being forced to come up with new ways to keep their enterprise thriving.
ABC News reports:
Border Patrol agents say they believe a pneumatic cannon was used to launch dozens of containers of marijuana over the border and 500 feet into Arizona on Friday. Eighty-five pounds of marijuana -- tucked into soup cans and then inserted into larger sealed containers -- were found in a field near the Colorado River in San Luis, Arizona.
In case you didn't quite catch all of that, Mexican drug smugglers are shooting drugs across the border with a big cannon.
Unfortunately for them, the tactic didn't work as whoever was supposed to pick up the packages show up late. By the time they arrived the packs had been picked up and turned in by a concerned citizen who happened to be outside at the time.
The contraband had an estimated value of $42,500 and is scheduled for destruction.
Guess you can say their plans are going up in smoke.

Dear Friend:
Beginning in mid-January, the weather in wine country was simply magical. Warm breezes, shorts, flip-flops, and cold Chenin Blanc were the name of the game. However, all good things must come to an end. Our Indian summer was greeted with extremely cold temperatures and lots of rain over President's Day weekend. We even had snow on the peaks around the Dry Creek Valley! It was very picturesque and beautiful. As we head into this weekend, forecasters are calling for snow all the way to San Francisco. If that occurs, it will be the first measurable snowfall in the city by the bay since 1976. All of this cold weather isn't having much of an effect on the vines. Things are still dormant in the vineyard and bud break is weeks away. As winter thaws, we'll report back with more updates from the vineyard.

SAG Awards - What a Night!
The stars were out in full force for the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, held January 30, 2011 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. In attendance, working her Dry Creek Vineyard magic, was second generation owner Kim Stare Wallace. This was Kim's 11th consecutive year attending the show and our eleventh year as the "official wines" of the SAG Awards®.
During the pre-show, Kim proudly strolled the red carpet with her 6.0L bottle of SAG Awards Cuvee. Ironically, Kim was voted the best-accessorized person on the red carpet! Check out the pics on the website GoFugYourself. In addition, she mingled with Hollywood stars, talked about Dry Creek Vineyard wines and conducted interviews with People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight. She even mixed it up with the line of paparazzi showing off her big bottle in front of hundreds of cameras and photographers. For a small family winery like ours, this was phenomenal exposure.
Once the show began, Dry Creek Vineyard wines were prominently featured on each table during the live dinner show as well
as at tasting bars at the back of the auditorium. After the show, the rest of the wines were enjoyed at the after party in the People Magazine tent.
For those of you interested in purchasing the 2008 SAG Awards Cuvée, we are going to officially release this wine to our VIP Club members at the end of 2011. This is an incredible wine produced exclusively for the awards show. A blend of Bordeaux varietals from our estate vineyards, this wine is bottled exclusively in 1.5L magnums.

Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
W: J. Teheran (1-0)
L: J. Garland (2-1)
B.J. and Justin Upton hit back-to-back HRs for first time in Braves' win
DENVER -- B.J. Upton and his brother Justin hit back-to-back homers for the first time, leading the Atlanta Braves past the Colorado Rockies 10-2 on Tuesday night to complete a doubleheader sweep that began with the coldest game at Coors Field.
It was the 27th time in major league history that brothers homered in the same game, but only the second time they went deep in consecutive at-bats. Lloyd and Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates also accomplished the feat on Sept. 15, 1938.In the first game, Justin Upton, Dan Uggla and rookie Evan Gattis homered in support of a solid outing by Mike Minor as the Braves won 4-3 in a game that began with a temperature of 23 degrees.The weather warmed up for the night game -- but only a bit. It was 30 degrees at first pitch.In the nightcap, B.J. Upton homered to left field off Jon Garland to start the fifth inning, his third of the season. Justin Upton drove Garland's next pitch to center for his major league-leading 11th home run.The Uptons have homered in the same game three times this season. They each added another RBI, B.J. on a sixth-inning sacrifice fly and Justin on a ninth-inning double that was part of a four-run burst.The Braves outhomered the Rockies 6-0 in taking both games from Colorado, which entered the twinbill tied with Atlanta for the best record in baseball at 13-5.Julio Teheran (1-0) made the most of his offensive support in the nightcap, allowing one run over seven innings to quiet the Rockies, who have lost three in a row at Coors Field since an 8-0 start at home.The Braves also got a home run and run-scoring double from Juan Francisco. His two-run shot in the fourth came after Freddie Freeman drew a one-out walk. Colorado had broken on top with an RBI single by Michael Cuddyer in the third.Garland (2-1) went six innings and allowed six runs on 10 hits.Reed Johnson, playing right field for Atlanta because Jason Heyward underwent an appendectomy Monday night, went 4 for 4 with three doubles. Heyward was put on the 15-day disabled list.The matchup featured baseball's hottest teams -- in the coldest game-time temperature in the majors since such data collection began in 1991, according to STATS. The Rockies said the previous low at Coors Field was 28 degrees.Donning a short-sleeve jersey with his standard T-shirt underneath while many of the other players were bundled up, Minor (3-1) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings. He said he decided against warmer attire because he wanted the same freedom of movement he feels with his arms uncovered."I don't know what it is, but with (long) sleeves on, I feel restricted," he said. "It's just a feeling and you want to feel comfortable out there."To a degree, anyway."It was all right," Minor said. "The biggest thing was grip, just being cold and dry. I pretty much just battled through it."At one point, Minor acknowledged he got so cold that he had a trainer rub his back, arms and thighs with a heating ointment."I was burning up there," he said with a smile.By the time Craig Kimbrel pitched a one-hit ninth for his eighth save in eight chances, the temperature had warmed up to 27.Gattis hit a tiebreaking home run in the fourth and ended the game by throwing out Wilin Rosario trying to steal second.Jeff Francis (1-2) gave up four runs and six hits in four innings, leaving him with an 8.44 ERA.Ground crews began working around 6 a.m. to clear several inches of snow from the playing surface at Coors Field, which opened in 1995. While there was no sign of snow on the field when the game started, some parts of the ballpark remained closed, including the snow-filled Rockpile section in center. Workers hosed off the snow on the stand of evergreen trees beyond the center-field wall. It was important that the trees be cleared of the snow because they're part of the green batters' eye background.It's been a wintry April for Denver, which has been hit by a wave of snowy weather over the past nine days that forced postponements of games three times. The delays led to two doubleheaders within a week.Justin Upton hit a solo drive in the first, and Uggla's two-run homer in the second made it 3-0. Colorado closed in the second on Rosario's run-scoring groundout and Jordan Pacheco's RBI single, then tied the score in the third when Dexter Fowler tripled to the right-field wall and Josh Rutledge singled.Game notes
Freeman played both ends of the doubleheader after being activated from the DL on Monday following his recovery from a strained right oblique. ... INF Tyler Pastornicky was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Heyward's roster spot. ... Gattis leads all major league rookies with six home runs and has homered in every park he's played in so far (Colorado, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Washington and Miami). ... Rutledge stole his fifth base in the first game, adding to the Rockies' league-leading total of 18. ... The Rockies were 0-3 at home against the Braves last year and 1-6 overall. ... It isn't always freezing at Coors Field. According to the Rockies, the hottest game played here since the park's 1995 opening was 100 degrees last June 25 when Colorado hosted Washington.

WASHINGTON – House Republican Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) delivered the following remarks on the floor of the House of Representatives today in support of H.R. 10, the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, as part of the House Republican Plan for America's Job Creators.
"Mr. Chairman, it was just a few weeks ago that our nation celebrated Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, in the Obama economy, millions could not give thanks for having a job. In the Obama economy, employment remains mired at, near, or above 9 percent. In the Obama economy, one in seven are on food stamps. In the Obama economy, we've seen the fewest small business start-ups in 17 years. And that's why, Mr. Chairman, jobs are job number one for House Republicans.
"That's why our jobs bills have been passed, but unfortunately, 25 of them are stacked up like cordwood in the Democratic-controlled Senate. After today, it will be 26, because one of the most important pro-jobs bills is on the floor today, the REINS Act.
"Mr. Chairman whether I'm speaking to Fortune 50 CEOs out of Dallas, Texas where I reside, or small business people in east Texas that I have the privilege of representing in this body. They all tell me the same thing: the number one impediment to jobs today is the federal regulatory burden.
"I hear from them each and every day. I heard from the Grasch family in the Fifth District of Texas: 'As a small business, I have to bring in an additional thousand dollars a month to break even.' He's talking about his regulatory burden: 'This is while consumers have less money to purchase my services. I will not invest in any further expansion, and therefore not hiring, until smarter policies are being conveyed from Washington.'
"I hear from the Rossa family, also in the Fifth District, who talk about the regulatory burden from the president's health care plan: 'My company has laid off all staff and I myself will file for unemployment on Monday. That's about 23 people added to the unemployment rolls next week.' Again, due to federal regulation.
"I heard from the Nixon family in the Fifth District of Texas: 'We are giving up this part of our business. … one person is losing their job … this is a small example of how excessive government regulation is stifling business.'
"It's the number one impediment, and all we are asking today with the REINS Act, is that if a regulation is going to cost our economy jobs, if it's going to cost $100 million or more, let's have Congressional approval. It's common sense. It forces accountability. It simply weighs the benefits of a regulation to be balanced with the cost to our own jobs. Jobs ought to be number one in this House, and the number one jobs bill we can pass is the REINS Act. I ask for once that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle join me and let's put America back to work."

" A great team to work with and an excellent experience. I pushed the scope of the project way beyond the original SOW but they never hesitated to give me what I needed. The project took much longer to finish than planned but not due to them - all delays were because I expanded the scope and took a long time to provide them updated images, etc. I cannot fault their immediate response, professional manner and willingness to get the job done. I will def work with Marcos and team again... "

A suspected Thomas County cocaine dealer is in jail tonight after a weekend undercover sting.
Narcotics agents received information that 38-year old David Rauls, Junior was selling crack cocaine out of a white car on North Stevens Street in Thomasville.
Agents set up surveillance and sent in an undercover officer they say did buy crack from the suspect.
"A lot of times they try to ingest the cocaine, eat it and keep us from getting it, or throw it out the window. Cause you know it's cut up in small pieces sometimes it's hard to find. Sometimes it's easy to get rid of. So for us to be able to watch him sell it than arrest him is a big feather in our hat," said Narcotics Commander Kevin Lee.
Rauls is charged with sale of cocaine and violation of probation on a drug conviction.

INTRODUCTION CHESTER WARD. Footnotes
The boundaries of Chester Ward on the North and East are the same as those of the County. On the East the German Ocean, and on the North the Tyne, Darwent, and Milkwell-burn (with a short intervening imaginary line), dividing it from Northumberland. On the North-West Chester Ward runs up to a narrow point conterminous with Darlington Ward, from which it is divided by an imaginary line, and in part by the course of the Derness on the South-West. The Wear forms the South and South-Eastern boundary.

Stephan Froese dissects Pure Hardcorism in what he calls an exhibition of "bravado that boldly walks the line between an ambiguously tongue-in-cheek polemic and a delirious architectural gospel".

However, with the imitation seafood and lack of management, this restaurant is slowly going under. With the owners and head chef willing to take Gordon's advice, they hope to turn the restaurant around so that it will prosper year-round. However, things start to flounder when the general manager cares more about drinking and socializing with the clientele than keeping the restaurant afloat. Find out if the bodybuilders will be able to command this ship.

Two area golfers were honored with IHSAA/ Indiana High School Golf Coaches Association All-State nominations this postseason. NorthWood's Heidi Morganthaler was named to the IHSGCA's All-State list after leading her team to its first-ever state golf finals berth, while John Glenn's Madeleine Silvey was named to the association's Academic All-State team.
Girls soccer Bremen, LaVille advance at Argos Sectional Bremen and LaVille earned a pair of quarterfinal wins over Northern State Conference competitors at the Class A Argos Girls Soccer Sectional Tuesday night at Eugene Snyder Field. The Lady Lions advanced with a dominant 6-2 victory over John Glenn, while the Lady Lancers reprised an earlier loss to Culver Community with a narrow 2-1 victory over the Lady Cavs at Argos.
ARGOS — Argos beat Rochester 5-0 as Girls Soccer Sectional 35 opened Monday at Eugene Snyder Field . A pair of sophomores combined for a goal in the 12th minute as Hannah Harrell dribbled a ball deep into the Zebra defensive half and then flicked a square pass to Valerie Rospopo. The outside midfielder hit a hard, looping shot that hit the far side net and put the hosts up 1-0. The Dragons outshot the Zebras 10-1 in the first half but led only 1-0. Keeper Catherine Wresien had several point-blank saves in a crowded penalty area to keep the visitors in the game.
WARSAW — What a difference a week makes. Actually, in Plymouth's case it only took five days. The Rockies entered Monday night's Class 2A Warsaw Sectional opener with NLC rival Wawasee with the memory of last Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Warriors still fresh in their memory.
CULVER — The Argos Dragons opened sectionals in impressive fashion, beating the Culver Cavaliers 12-2 in the opening game of the Class A Culver Sectional. "We started off a little choppy, which I expected. I think most teams, in the first five or 10 minutes, get a little nervous," said Argos coach Todd VanDerWeele. "The ball was bouncing off their feet a little harder than usual. We settled down and got going early. I was happy with that. We had a rough game Saturday that didn't go our way. It was nice to rebound this way."
Culver Community's Kayla Shaffer scored seven goals over the course of three games last week, capped off by a two-goal performance as the Lady Cavs clinched the NSC title with a 2-1 win over LaVille at Newton Park Thursday.
Plymouth running back Michael Hartman rushed for 216 yards in 27 carries — including big TD runs of 24 and 73 yards — as the Rockies beat Class 5A No. 3 Concord on Homecoming night at the Rockpile last Friday.
Girls cross country Patrick leads Lady Pilgrims Abby Patrick made the All-NLC team, Libby Read received Honorable Mention, and the Plymouth girls cross country team finished fourth at the Northern Lakes Conference Championship Meet Saturday. Northridge beat out Warsaw on a sixth score tiebreaker as both put up scores of 45 at the meet followed by Wawasee in third with 87 points. Plymouth put up a team score of 111 for fourth place, and NorthWood rounded out the meet standings with a 204 score.
Tennis Pilgrims clinch 17th straight After finishing off Triton with a pair of wins at 2 and 3 singles, Plymouth's boys tennis team won its 17th straight sectional title with a 4-1 victory over host Bremen at DeSantis Courts Friday night.
PLYMOUTH — A tough loss on the road a week ago leaves Plymouth's Rockies with a week to recover and will have to do it against one of their schedule's top challenges. Each year the Plymouth vs. Concord match is a red letter date on each team's calendar. Nearly every year for the past 10 it has decided or had powerful implications regarding the NLC championship. A week ago at Wawasee, the Warriors exposed some Plymouth difficulties.

ADEWIND VOLUME 1 NO. 3 UTAH TECHNICAL COLLEGE OF PROVO TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1974 Issues and answers p weans WAYNE Mo sex Commissioner G. Homer Durham, Utah System oiiligher Education, has announced that proposed Federal regulations for providing fornon-discrimination on the basis of sex, interfere unduly with the educational processes of state universities and state colleges. In a letter toCasper W.Weinberger, Secretary of Health, Welfare and Welfare, Durham wrote that the proposed regulations, "Access to Education Program or Activity," would impose restrictions on freedom of choice for certain individuals."While all sensible people sustain and support efforts at eliminating discrimination on the basis of sex, they, at the CALENDAR October 24 October 31 Miss Ugly Contest (10:00 a. in. in Cafeteria) October 31 Halloween Party (Dance: 7:30 p. m.-Movie: 10:30 p.m.) M OWENS bbi schools same time, feel deep concern that the distinction between male and female, established in nature, and in human personality, also be fairly recognized," Durham said in the letter. The nondiscrimination regulations were drafted by H.E.W. to implement Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. With certain exceptions, they prohibit sex discrimination in education programs or activities which receive Federal financial assistance. Durham raised the concern that the regulations would eliminate such valuable things as separate men's and women's choral groups, long a feature of coeducational instutitions. OF EVENTS Mo to -Cross (school dismissed) era m BY MICHAEL GYGI The differences between Jake Garn, and Wayne Owens are more than just the names of their parties, according to the stands they have taken on political issues. Owens has said that he feels the foreign aid program has been too motivated in large part by military and political sell interest; and that the assistance has been too often autocratic, despite governments. On the other hand, Garn said he welcomes the relaxation of tensions between the United States, and Communist power, although he said there is a real danger if the government repeats its past patterns. RATIFICATION OF ERA? Garn went on to say, "We must be tough in our negotiations with the USSR and China." The Mayor added that the US must be willing to invest the money necessary for nuclear weapons to convince other superpowers. As far as the Equal Rights Amendment is concerned, Owens has said that the ratification of the ERA is an important restatement of the country's dedication to equal treat- The regulations "militate against the desires of women students who prefer separate sections of physical education courses, particularly swimming and calisthenics, and, in general, impose restrictions on freedom of choice for such individuals who desire separate sections in such courses as physical education." Durham appealed to Weinberger "to re-examine closely these proposed rules," so freedom of choice on the part of students can still be respected. "If the present regulations, as drafted, are permitted to go into effect, there will be many citizens, on and off campus, who will feel that the government has almost ex-tinquished and eliminated the right of privacy, the right of freedom of choice, and the right of qualified faculty members to develop appropriate call schedules in accordance with their curriculum and roles, "Durham said. Durham informed Weinberger that the state has-practiced women's suffrage since 1870, electing a territorial superin-. tendent of public instruction of the female sex in that same year. He also stated that Utah has "long been proud of equal treatment of women as well as men in state colleges and universities, which have always been coeducational." SgmJg ment under the law. Garn felt that the legislature did the right thing, and took the best approach to the problem, when the amendment wasn't ratified in Utah. He said that he favored the "rifle approach", of legislative action, and that the amendment was to broad and general . NO BUSSING On the issue of abortion, Garn said it is more than a matter of women's rights. He said that he emphatically opposes abortion. Owens opposes a non-theraputic abortion, although he supports a constitutional amendment to restore powei to the states todetermine policy on this issue. Neither candidate believes in bussing. Both say they are strong supporters for federal funding of education. Owens voted to extend funding under the Elementary and Secondary education act. He said he believes the federal government should supply one third of the expenditures on education in this country. Garn said that since so much of the land in Utah is federally controlled, that Utah citizens are forced to rely on a smaller tax base than other states. He said that the federal government should compensate Utah for these lands, and that the compensation should go towards education in the local school districts. It should also be used to reduce classroom size. PRESS PRIVILEGE In the question of reporter privelege, Owens says he en- JAKE Kgjcq dorses an unqualified privilege to protect confidential news sources, and has fought against a bill in his own judiciary subcommittee to permit the compelling of newsmen to testify in certain circumstances. Garn said he felt that reporters should be given limited privilege in some cases but was not for an absolute privilege. In talking about crime, Owens said that he had introduced a bill to implement reforms throughout the criminal justice system. He said he believes that administrative law enforcement decisions should be made at the local level, but that federal assistance is necessary to curb the rising crime rates. LAWS HARD ON DRUG USERS Garn said he opposed the legalization of marijuana, and that the laws are too hard on drug users, and not hard enough on pushers. Gam added that "We should throw away the key on those who profit from human misery." Both candidates spoke out strongly against federal gun control. Each man said he agreed that federal gun control would not decrease violence, nor would it keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. Garn said that there should be man-ditory penalties for those who use a gun in committing a crime, in addition to the normal penalty. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7 GARN

I won't be reading NewsWeek anymore.
Is anybody still reading it? I thought they stopped their print edition few years ago because their circulation tanked and even online they are nowhere in the top 100 news sites. Going tabloid, like CNN, may be a desperate attempt to pull out of the death spiral.
