They're saying that HBO is going the crazy ex-Girlfriend route with this split. Lol
I guess they are on Their Taylor Swift. The full report is yet to come out on yahoo but if true this would prove more serious than I imagined. Unfortunately I believe HBO will hurt themselves more so in the long run. You don't burn bridges.....

And even though they seem to insinuate that they want better fights, I think we know they're counting on Arum and TR to deliver for them now. Which is a 50-50 proposition for them because he easily gets butt hurt about the dumbest things. But this also opens up Dibella and Shaw and Goosen on board. They have some fighters on the verge of breakthrough stardom, i.e. Andre Ward, and we all know Dibella has done some great things for HBO in the past. All in all both companies will be fine and I suspect they'll do business down the road
I have to translate our post Chi..."Arum will now be the monopoly promoter for HBO". Regardless of how touchy Arum can get with HBO over petty stuff, this is an open invitation for him to run ship.
Now that he pretty much KNOWS that HBO will need him, he almost has the green light to do what he pleases. Regardless of how much I loathe him, when he's good and ready, he puts together some pretty decent cards.
The problem with Goosen and DiBella's promotional companies/fighters, is that they're always on the B-side of things. In their fighters' biggest fights, they've needed to be across the ring from a TR fighter. Besides, when Goosen's fighters have a fight, they usually go under the radar, and we never see much promotion for the fight, until the fight actually happens.
Ward almost landed a showcase bout against Pavlik before it fell apart, and Sergio JUST got the biggest fight of his career, which was couple by the likes of Bob Arum and Chavez. I've seen a few DiBella cards, and most of them can be seen on FNFs, not necessarily premium channels. Dont get me wrong, the fights were god, but it did lack that premium channel quality. As far as I'm concerned, Goosen, DiBella, and Shaw, simply get their fighters tv deals, and don't actually "promote" the guys to their full potential.
I'm seeing comments all over the place about people saying they're going to dump HBO and pick up Showtime. Shit getting real out here lol
What tha muthafuu-....really?! Screw that, I still need to see True Blood, Game of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm...just to name a few. There's nothing like a Sunday night line-up of great tv, and hell, I enjoy those Sunday night line-ups on Showtime as well. I have both...some of these folks out here are some reeeeal sheep.

Women's Health
Ladies, be honest: when your sex life becomes a little humdrum, out comes the mental catalogue of all the ways your partner isn't quite measuring up. Guys tend to get a bad rap when it comes to understanding women's bodies and what turns us on, making them easy targets in the blame game when sexual satisfaction starts to wane. And sure, they make their fair share of bedroom errors. But as the saying goes, it takes two to tango. As it turns out, top sex and relationship experts say that women make plenty of sex mistakes of their own. Here's what they have to say about the six most common mistakes women make in the bedroom and what you can do to get the satisfaction you so rightly deserve.

Zoe Saldana knows her priorities. "Please excuse me," she says politely, returning a moment later and explaining: "I had to finish blow-drying a friend's hair. I'm the stylist to everyone in my life," she laughs. "We are all fabulous women, and I'm so against anyone walking out the door not looking her hottest and best. Every woman should feel great about herself, no matter what, and we have to lead by example." The actor, 36, certainly does her part. Known for her sophisticated red carpet style,...

Sex Mistake #1: Not Initiating Sex With Your Partner
Many of us worry about ladylike behavior. We don't want to appear pushy or come on too strong for fear of being labeled aggressive. According to Les Parrot, professor of psychology at Seattle Pacific University and author of a new book called Crazy Good Sex, failing to initiate sex is one of the biggest mistakes women make.
"Most guys feel like they are always the initiator and that sets up disequilibrium on the passion scale in the relationship," he says. Generally, men want to be pursued by their partners just as much as women do.
Holding onto outdated ideas about sex roles also inhibits satisfaction with our sexual relationships, says "Dr. Ruth," aka Ruth Westheimer, PhD, a psychosexual therapist, professor at New York University, and lecturer at Yale and Princeton universities. "They used to think that women are less interested in sexual activity and I don't want to say that anymore. I think there are women who are as interested in sex [as men]."
Show your interest by taking the first step from time to time. Your partner will likely appreciate it, and you may find a new level of satisfaction in taking responsibility for your sexual experience, something Westheimer feels strongly women must do.
Sex Mistake #2: Worrying About What You Look Like
Thinking about how you look during sex stops you from enjoying yourself and ruins your chances of achieving an orgasm.
"Don't think about the fat on your belly or the makeup on your face," advises Westheimer. "Concentrate on the pleasure of the act. You must give yourself permission to have an orgasm."
"Men want their wives to abandon themselves in sex play, and that's not likely if she is anxious about her physical concerns," Parrott says.
Helen Fisher, PhD, a cultural anthropologist at Rutgers University and author of a new book called Why Him, Why Her, says men don't notice half the things women obsess about anyway.

47 Farmall cub
Since getting myself in a bind with the guys Farmall with no oil pressure, Ive took a liking to these old tractors..Today I called about a 47 farmall 4 19 Q Says it runs and drives..Good metal He is third owner...Needs painting and will start and no smoke Has very good tires on rear and fair on front. It is manual lift...He says it had very clean gas tank and only a couple of small dents..Fenders look good...He said at one time the clip that holds governor broke and it ran wide open Price is 1100 Is this a fair or good or even bad price..He said it would be easy to restore
Re: 47 Farmall cub
$1,100.00 if a fair price for a running tractor - again depending on a number of factors such as location, availability, condition and PO's desires. The one thing that concerns me is the governor and the part that broke. Which one might it be in the parts breakdown below?
or is it one of the clips for the rod?
If it runs, no smoke, no cracks/welds, no holes in the hood or tins, good rears, fair fronts - yeah it is worth $1,100.00 easy. With a TC would be worth a couple hundred more but a good well balanced hand lift works well too
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: 47 Farmall cub
He said a clip that holds the rod come off and the Po tied it back up Lol did the 47 also have hydraulic lift,,This one is manual but just asking if both were offered in 47
Re: 47 Farmall cub
Ok, then that shouldn't be much of a problem. Granny was like that .. bailing wire holding up the governor connecting rod.
The Touch Control wasn't offered in 1947 IIRC but was offered as a field/dealer install. My '47 doesn't have a TC but there is one on the shelf for Granny when I get around to it.

Re: 47 Farmall cub
Could be a Circle Cub with that born on date. Do you have the serial number?
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

No I don't have serial number He read it off to me but I didn't write it down What would a circle c be..Im new at this Yes and he said previous owner tied it up with baling wire
Re: 47 Farmall cub
A Circle Cub is the very first almost 4,000 or so Cubs built. They could be identified by the Circle Cub decal on the front doglegs.
Hmmm .. seems bailing wire is the universal duct tape of days gone by

Police Chief Andy Powell said that John Daniel Nabors, Kenneth Thursby and Brittney Sullivan were arrested at a residence on Washington Street on a variety of drug-related charges.
Powell said Nabors will face charges of manufacturing, possession of a controlled substance, providing false information to a law enforcement officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was out on bond for similar charges so that bond has been revoked. He was set to be transported to the Walker County Jail on Tuesday. Powell said he will be held without bond.
The other two were charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and bonded out of Oakman's city jail.
When Powell took over as police chief in Oakman earlier this year, he said the city had two major problems, drugs and theft. Powell and Officer Chuch Lilley have both vowed to stop the property and drug crimes in the small city, crimes that are often related.
"We said we weren't going to stop until they stopped victimizing people in Oakman, and we haven't stopped," Powell said.
The two officers have made a number of arrests that they believe have reduced the property crimes in the city.
"Our goal is for criminals to be afraid to set foot in Oakman," Powell said. "We want them to know that we will keep coming after them."

What If Drafting a QB Early is Still an Option?
Since the Chiefs have acquired Alex Smith by trade with the 49ers, many Chiefs fans are expressing angst and frustration by the move. Many feel the Chiefs gave up too much for Smith and many feel its time for the Chiefs organization to draft their own QB to develop into the "Franchise QB." In the NFL, anything can happen, and assuming anything can quickly backfire. Here's 1 theory. Call it a long shot. Call it crazy. Call it what you want. (Read more, follow the link) http://www.chiefstomahawkchop.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-if-drafting-qb-early-is-still.html

1. Robert Griffin III — The dynamic rookie quarterback will get a hero's welcome when he makes his home debut for the Redskins this weekend against Cincinnati. RG3 has been sensational in his first two games, leading the 'Skins to a stunning upset of the Saints in Week One and producing 650 total yards (526 passing, 124 rushing) and five total TDs (three passing, two rushing) thus far. But the rookie now faces an increased burden. The Washington defense just lost its best pass rusher, OLB Brian Orakpo, and also DE Adam Carriker to season-ending injuries, which leaves an already-suspect defense even more vulnerable. RG3 seems destined to play in a lot of shootouts this season, but the early results suggest that he's up to the task.
2. Ryan Mathews — Back in the first week of August, Mathews was the No. 4 running back on a lot of fantasy draft boards, just behind the "Big Three" of Arian Foster, Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy. But Mathews fractured his clavicle Aug. 9 in San Diego's first preseason game, making him perhaps the single hardest player to assess in terms of draft value. Fantasy owners who got a damaged-goods discount on Mathews and used bench players to fill in for him in the first few weeks of the season could be on the verge of a handsome payoff, as Mathews is set to return this weekend when the Chargers host the Falcons. What remains unclear is how much he'll be used in his first game back … and how long the oft-injured running back will be able to remain relatively healthy.
3. Reggie Bush — What an unusual career Mr. Bush is having. It's a career that didn't gain serious traction until its sixth season, and only after Bush had gone from a good team to a bad one. The former Heisman Trophy winner was widely considered to be a disappointment after five "meh" seasons with the Saints, better known for his relationship with the ample-bottomed Kim Kardashian than for his on-field accomplishments. But Bush began to flourish during the second half of his first season with the Dolphins, and he wound up recording the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. Now in his seventh season, Bush has come out of the gate on fire. He's second in the league in rushing behind only C.J. Spiller, and he was splendid last week in Miami's win over Oakland, rushing 26 times for 172 yards and two TDs. The late-blooming Bush has a daunting matchup this week against the rugged defense of the Jets, who shut down the Pittsburgh running game last week after letting Spiller go off against them in Week One.
4. Mikel Leshoure — Leshoure returns from a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy and will attempt to stake a claim on the lead role in an unsettled Detroit backfield. His primary competition for carries is Kevin Smith, who's healthy for the moment and playing reasonably well. But some believe Leshoure has special qualities and is finally ready to display them after missing his entire rookie season with a torn Achilles tendon, then getting suspended for multiple marijuana-related offenses. The Lions play in Tennessee this weekend, and if the Titans continue their incompetence and let the Lions play with a lead for most of the day, Leshoure should get plenty of chances to show what he can do.
5. Jay Cutler — The mopey quarterback has been widely panned for his petulance in the Bears' Week Two loss to the Packers. In the process of completing 40.7 percent of his passes and throwing four interceptions, Cutler shoved Bears OLT J'Marcus Webb on the sideline after the lineman had missed a block, and Cutler displayed the body language of a 7-year-old forced to dress up in a suit and tie for a family photo session. The Bears can't send little Mr. Pouty Pants to his room for a timeout, so they're left to hope that Cutler is better behaved when the Rams visit Soldier Field on Sunday, and that he looks more like the guy who threw for 333 yards and two TDs against the Colts in Week One, less like the guy Green Bay's Charles Woodson disparaged as the "same old Jay."
6. Larry Fitzgerald — Pity poor Fitz. He's no doubt pleased that his Cardinals were able to register a shocking upset of the Patriots last week, but Fitzgerald was largely a bystander, catching one pass for four yards as QB Kevin Kolb steered an unsteady course to victory. Through two games, Fitz has five catches for 67 yards and zero TDs while dozens of far lesser receivers own far better numbers. Fitzgerald seems to have a hard time getting in sync with Kolb (actually, it's vice versa), and the alternative is the uninspiring John Skelton, currently recovering from an ankle injury. But Fitzgerald managed to produce 1,411 receiving yards and eight TD catches last season while playing with the same two quarterbacks. Things figure to get better for Fitzgerald's fantasy owners, though it might not happen immediately: The Cardinals have a home date this weekend with the Eagles, which means that Fitz figures to spend the day matched up against top CB Nnamdi Asomugha.
7. Jamaal Charles — Fantasy owners who gambled on Charles' health in the year following a season-ending ACL tear were probably feeling good after the shifty running back ran 16 times for 87 yards in Week One, but they're probably feeling less comfortable with that gamble after Charles accumulated only 22 combined yards (on nine touches) in Week Two and left early after tweaking his previously damaged knee. Charles reportedly wanted to re-enter the game, but Kansas City's coaches opted to keep him sidelined for the duration of a blowout loss in Buffalo. Charles owners are no doubt wondering why their man is feeling soreness in his repaired knee while Adrian Peterson, who sustained an even more severe knee injury almost four months later, has thus far handled a substantial workload with no apparent ill effects. Charles is expected to be available when the Chiefs face the Saints and their porous defense this weekend, but will he be able to handle his normal share of the load if he plays, or will he be relegated to spot duty?
8. Trent Richardson — Concerns about the rookie's sluggish debut quickly evaporated with Richardson's scintillating follow-up last weekend. The former Alabama star scored a pair of touchdowns in the Browns' 34-27 loss to the Bengals, rushing 19 times for 109 yards and catching four passes for 36 yards. With his must-start fantasy status cemented in place, Richardson can now work on establishing his star cred. Next up: a home date with Buffalo in which he'll try to trade highlight runs with NFL rushing leader C.J. Spiller.
9. Dez Bryant — The good news for Bryant owners is that the mercurial receiver has gone two weeks without appearing in a police report or getting into any trouble with his team. The bad news is that through two games he has seven receptions for 102 yards and zero TDs. In the Cowboys' loss to the Seahawks last week, he had three receptions for 17 yards. Bryant owners would be willing to trade good behavior for productivity at this point. Perhaps this is the week when Bryant starts playing up to potential: The Cowboys are at home against a Buccaneers pass defense that just yielded a combined 21-378-2 to Giants WRs Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks.
10. Randy Moss — It has become clear to fantasy owners after two weeks that Randy Moss, at age 35, playing in a ball-control offense, is not going to produce vintage Randy Moss numbers. No 1,000-yard season, no double-digit TD total. Through two games, Moss has five receptions for 61 yards and one touchdown. But this week Moss returns to Minnesota, where he spent the first seven years of what is surely a Hall of Fame career (along with a four-game cameo with the Vikings in 2010). One suspects that Moss won't let himself be rendered irrelevant in a game played in front of fans who used to adore him.

Crazy Legs is recognized as among the foremost pioneers of hip hop dance, having battled his way into the legendary Rock Steady Crew (RSC) at the age of twelve. He formed his own local chapter of RSC in 1979 and currently serves as president of the RSC and the hip hop entertainment company Backspin Productions. He tours internationally and has been featured in television shows, music videos and advertisements for Coke, Verizon Wireless, Nike and Red Bull. In 1994 The Source magazine honored Crazy Legs with its Hip Hop Pioneer Award and in 2003 he received The Source Youth Foundation Image Award. He has choreographed music videos for Wyclef Jean, one of which was nominated for an MTV Award for Best Choreography; a music video for the multi-platinum artist Moby; and is co-producer of the B-Boy documentary, The Freshest Kids. His focus remains on youth and building community and the preservation of hip hop as a vehicle for expression and change.

Max Clifford 'sad to hear about more! magazine'
Sad to hear about More! magazine, best of luck to the team with everything in the future, from all at MCA.
Sad to hear about More! magazine, best of luck to the team with everything in the future, from all at MCA.
Staff at more! have reacted to the announcement that publication of the magazine is to be suspended after 25 years.
In a message posted on the more! Facebook page, they said:
Today is a very sad day in the more! office.
It's just been announced that publication of more! magazine is to be suspended.
Unfortunately, the current economic conditions are just too challenging for publication to continue.
Thanks for your love and support over the years – we'll keep you updated on developments.
Bauer Media has announced its decision to suspend publication of more! magazine after 25 years, saying economic conditions mean the product is "no longer viable".
In a statement on the more! website Bauer Media said the decision to suspend publication would take effect from this week's issue, adding: "more! is a well-loved brand which, throughout its impressive 25 year history, has touched, entertained and informed generations of young women in the UK.
"The magazine has constantly evolved in order to remain relevant to its audience but continuing challenging economic conditions mean that the product is no longer viable."

PEORIA, Ill. -- Cold weather did not stop thousands from attending the Midwest Truck and Trailer Show in Peoria. However, Saturday's weather highlights the importance of safety while driving.
More than 5,000 truck enthusiasts attended the show. Guests and drivers came from 22 states to look, learn and admire.
"Trucks are majestic--they're powerful," said truck driver and business owner, Landon Durst.
It was a one-stop-shop convention, contest and expo. It is also an opportunity for drivers to tackle large scale issues that face their community--safety and new laws.
"All the regulatory agencies are here," said Mid-West Truckers Executive Vice President Don Schaefer.
Illinois State's Attorney, Illinois State Police and other service organization set up booths at Peoria's Civic Center.
"If you have a question, you can actually talk to someone face-to-face," said truck driver Chad Beyer.
Beyer came to the event to ask about the requirements for logging.
"You have to put every stop in--where you fuel, where you stop in for breakfast, every time you stop to load and unload," explained Beyer.
Even when you sleep.
"You can only be driving 11 hours," explained Schaefer. "The most important part is not how many hours you can be driving but that you get ten hours of rest."
If done correctly, logging should prevent drivers from over-driving. Unfortunately, it's not always the case.
"There was a state trooper that was hit over by District 15 where the driver was driving way over the legal hours he was allowed to drive," said Trooper Dustin Pierce with the Illinois State Police.
Driver accountability was stressed at the Illinois State Police's demonstration at the show.
"If drivers are following the rules and getting proper rest, then these crashes can be avoided."

Hi Anjali,
Paradox is a statement that leads to contrdiction or contradicts itself. But it expresses a truth. For e.g. "Water, water, everywhere (in a sea?), and not a drop to drink".

You knew that, sooner or later, LEDs would get moving. Manufacturers would develop automated fixtures using light-emitting diodes as the sole light source, since LEDs have become brighter, smaller, and more cost-effective. LEDs now produce a lot of light—as well as a wide range of colors—and marrying them with a moving yoke, they put color washes just where you need them.
In addition to creative benefits, LED automated lights offer economic and "green" benefits. With no lamps to replace, they have no associated costs of stockpiling spares, and they are lower maintenance due to limited moving parts. This reduces the total cost of ownership compared to traditional fixtures. They have lower power consumption with higher outputs, no ultraviolet or infrared output, long life, reduced weight for rigging, and quick color changes. Many of the LED lights in this overview are more compact than traditional automated lights, saving on truck and inventory space. The output and efficiencies of the current batch of LEDs are generally brighter than traditional discharge or tungsten sources, yet the heat is reduced. Heat is still related to the wattage, and as a lot of LEDs are ganged together, there is still an appreciable amount of heat that needs to be dissipated. While many tout LEDs with a life of over 100,000 hours, 50,000 hours is a conservative/realistic estimate, especially since output drops significantly after 50,000 hours of use. Still, 50,000 hours is a lot better than 300 or even 3,000 hours from tungsten and discharge lamps.
For this overview—arranged by manufacturer—of some of the automated lights available that use LEDs as the source of illumination, we're looking at fixtures with pan and tilt. While many take a similar approach to fixture design, some also incorporate video capability. Some manufacturers are attempting to match a lens with LEDs to provide a hard-edge light with patterns to make an LED projector. The first attempts need more "oomph" to get really usable amounts of light for most applications, but all the luminaires mentioned represent the next step in the LED revolution.
1. The ShowPix™ from Barco/High End Systems was the first in HES' line of Pixelation Luminaires. Its 18" diameter head features a circular array of 127 3W RGB LEDs. It was designed as not only a wash light, but as a display device with images. ShowPix has a beam angle of 45° and a field angle of 80°. The moving yoke has a pan range of 400° and a tilt range of 240°. The unit measures 23.4"x20.6"x33" and weighs 108lbs.
2. The Barco/High End Systems' StudioPix™ is the second product in HES' line of Pixelation Luminaires. Smaller than the ShowPix™, it features a circular array of 61 homogenous 3W RGB LEDs on a 13.5" diameter head. The unit measures 21.3"x11.8"x23.7" and weighs 46lbs.
Both ShowPix and StudioPix are equipped with 411 stock content animations and patterns, and you can upload files and images through the HES Echo™ application, a software program for content visualization and management, as well as RDM management. A user-selectable pixel-mapping protocol also provides individual control of each LED. The DMX Scratch™ feature allows a user to synchronize the frames of a media file to music in realtime. Both units use 5-pin locking XLR DMX connectors for Data-In/Out and have a USB connector for uploading or a Wholehog DMX Widget.
3. The Chauvet Legend™ 4500 uses 54 RGBW LEDs—720mA red, 1,000mA blue, green, and white—and comes with 15° lenses for a beam angle of 10° and a field angle of 22°.

Designed for quiet operation during zooming and movement, additional features include a zoom range from 8° to 28°, 0 to 100% dimming, and a flicker-free setting. The unit measures 12.6"x14.6"x7.87" and weighs 17.6 lbs.
11. The Main Light Industries MF/V comprises an LED fixture with a moving video panel, specifically using five sections of LED panels that are 30 pixels wide by 36 pixels high with 15mm spacing. It has a video mapper for pixel-to-LED mapping, with one LED representing each pixel. The pixel-mapper accepts VGA or DVI inputs. Control is run with a Cat5 cable from the processor, daisy-chaining the units, with a loop run back to the processor. The moving yoke requires six channels of DMX for pan, tilt, speed, and reset control. This is separate from the video control cable. With a pan of 540° and tilt of 252°, the unit measures 31"x28"x23" and weighs 82lbs.
12. The Main Light MF/3 was the company's first moving yoke LED fixture, featuring three Martin Professional Stagebar LED strip lights with RGBAW LEDs mounted into a six-channel DMX-controlled moving yoke.

Dadar Gulung
Dadar Gulung is one of popular snacks in Indonesia, especially in Java. Dadar literally in Indonesian means 'pancake' while gulung means 'to roll'. Inside has sweet grated coconut as a filling, and usually the pancake has green-coloured which comes from Pandan leaves. Pandan is an herbaceous tropical plant with long green leaves which can be found throughout Indonesia. It is very aromatic and has a unique taste that can be used for many Indonesian desserts, cakes and drinks. It can be purchased as a ready-to-use paste in Asian stores. Or if you buy it fresh, you need to pound into a paste; added water then filtered and just takes the juice for colouring.
Category: Dessert
Difficulty: Medium
Preparing time: 60 minutes
Servings for 4 people
- 250 g grated coconut
- 150 g palm or 100 g caster sugar
- 1-3 inch cinnamon stick
- 100 ml water
- salt to taste
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 egg
- 250 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml water
- 1 teaspoon juice from Pandan leaves or few drops of pasta pandan if you have it (this one for colouring)
- salt to taste
1. Mix the grated coconut, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Fry the mixture in a dry pan over medium/low heat, add the water. Constantly stirred for approximately 5 minutes or until the mixture is dry. But don't get burn! Set aside and remove the cinnamon stick.
2. Blend the pandan leaves with 150 ml water, squeeze the pulp then sieve the water. If you use pandan paste or food colouring, skip this step.
3. To make pancake: combine the flour, egg, pandan paste, coconut milk, salt with the rest of water. Whisk them well into a smooth batter, just like you make pancake mixture. When it's ready, prepare non-stick frying pan (use 8-inch frying pan if you have) and pour 3 tablespoon of the batter into the pan. Make sure the pan is equally covered with the batter so it becomes a thin layer pancake. Fry for one minute, turn the pancake over and fry for another minute.
4. Place 2 teaspoons of coconut filling on the near edge of the pancake. Fold over once then tuck in the left and right sides and fold over once more then roll.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The 1st two bolts are the same as Billy's Ghost Dance. Once you get past the second bolt, there's a lot of loose rock. It also breaks off pretty easily, so be super gentle on it. After the third bolt, there's a smooth section that goes to the face you have to climb up and over to get to the anchors. The place to stand at the top is really small. We had a tough time having two people up there and still being able to maneuver.
The route starts the same as Billy's Ghost Dance but instead of continuing straight after the first 2 bolts you head up to the right to the left of the small, pine tree.
This is 7 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. The right anchor was loose, the bolt hanger spun a bit but was still secure, the bolt did not move out of the rock at all just moved around. Suggest you just keep a close eye on it.

Nous avons tant d'histoires à partager ensemble
Comité régional du Tourisme de Picardie

"In this part of the Oise valley, we have wet grassland which is home to a very distinctive fauna and flora, including some endangered species. Naturalists were worried about this, and suggested an environmental and land protection project to the farmers. I immediately joined the programme. One of the iconic species to be protected is the corn crake, a migratory bird which comes to our meadows to nest. So we changed the time when we mow the meadows, to give the young time to grow up in the shelter of the grass. We changed the method as well, making sure that the broods are away during the actual mowing. We have imposed our own ban on the use of weed killer and make limited use of fertiliser, to preserve the diversity of the natural flora.
I want to conserve the wild aspect of my countryside, and preserve the rare species that I delight in coming across when I'm working in the fields. Within our capabilities, we are working for land management, we are participating in shaping the region's image; of a green, protected Picardy, that can choose methods integrated with its goals. Every year we organise an open day, to raise residents' awareness of the preservation work that we are carrying out and of the beauty of the places where they live or visit. We can be proud of what we are doing here."

Meeting My Money Mentors at an LA Rooftop Party
November 5, 2011 | Posted By: Heather Stephens | Categorized in: Finance
If you had told me last week that I'd be hanging out at a swanky rooftop party in LA with some of the famous finance bloggers I'd been following online since I started at FatWallet this past summer, I would have said you were crazy.
I'm a Midwestern mom of three, who lives a pretty normal working mom type of life, shuttling kids from here to there and battling that never ending laundry pile.
But that's where I was last night...at the top of the Standard hotel pool deck with the likes of Philip Taylor from PT Money, Greg Go from Wise Bread, and J. Money from Budgets are Sexy.
We were there for a book launch party for Chris Camillo's new book Laughing at Wall Street, which I'm reading now and will share with you this week.
It was chilly, so we found ourselves all huddled around the outdoor heaters, Kumbaya style, sharing stores about our past and how we ended up doing what we're doing now. I so loved hearing about when they woke up and realized that they needed to get their money act together. And as I'm at the beginning of my financial turn around, I'm inspired by their stories.
It seems universal that reading financial blogs and forums is a big part of the financial education they've acquired along the away. Philip Taylor mentioned he uses the FatWallet financial forums personally.
Are you taking advantage of the information that's out there? If you're just getting started and not sure where to begin, these blogs and the FatWallet finance forum are a great place to start. Everyone starts somewhere, and where ever you are on your journey toward financial peace, I recommend you find mentors like these to learn from and follow.
The book Laughing at Wall Street, the reason for the party, will totally be up your alley. It's a story about Chris Camillo, a family man and self directed investor who grew $20,000 into $2 million by investing in the stock market. Impressive yes, but even more impressively, he did it only three years, during the worst economical crisis since the Great Depression, using Facebook, friends, and shopping at the mall to find great investment deals. He teaches in the book how to use the interests and trends going on right in front of us to know what to invest in, before Wall Street even knows they exist.
I can't wait to share it with you next week.
Our L.A. dream ends tomorrow and then we head for Vegas to another internet marketing convention. So, I've gotta run.
I'm off to the convention center to snag an interview with Chris Camillo and meet more awesome bloggers here at Blog World Expo 2011.
Please share your favorite money blogs in the comments below and be sure to check out the blogs I've mentioned. Look for my post on Monday for your chance to win a copy of the book!

First had: on tap at the DFH brewpub, Rehoboth Beach, DE
Served in a snifter with a carrot stick for a garnish, disappointingly not warm or hot, but I let it sit and reach room temperature while drinking a Beard de Garde in the meantime. A cloudy orange-amber color with a small, non-lacing, white head that almost disappeared, but surprisingly rejuvenated on its own as it sat; a quick stir of the carrot stick whipped it up even more, and eventually it settled out as a lasting ringlet. Aroma is heavy with ginger, lesser notes of bready malts and subtle carrot cake. (Most of the carrot smell was probably coming from the carrot stick.) Very tasty beer here, ginger is again the key player on the palate, rock candy, sweet tea, distant bready malts, and a vegetal carrot-hop hybrid presence. Smooth, medium body, higher alcohol almost unnoticeable. I liked this a lot, probably more than many newer DFH offerings I've had lately, but honestly at the end of one serving, I was getting sick of it, mainly due to the ginger presence I suppose...a little bit goes a long way, and I had no desire to have another glass. Still a great brew though, and if it weren't a one-time deal, I'd definitely want to have it again.

Poured on tap at Dogfish Eats in Rehoboth Beach DE, into a snifter glass. Served with a carrot stick and not hot (probably about 45°).
A nice burnt red amber brown, kind of dull brown ruby body color, but leaves a solid thick tan collar. Very foamy collar also.
Nose rips of powdered ginger. Hints of fruit jam and pectin thickness, very impressive, maybe some apple butter. Quite impressive, but lots of ginger.
Taste feels like thick cider, but with more depth. Apple front and ginger punch on first sip. Ginger root and all the heat that comes with it. Finish completes lightly surprisingly, plum wine abounds with a great finish. No syrup thickness but controled, no booze hints either. To complete there is some light hop bitterness and astringency too.
Overall, what cider should be when it grows up.

Going to the pub in Rehoboth I knew I wanted to try this beer, but I wasn't really sure what to expect.
It came garnished with a carrot stick which was highly amusing. The carrot juice didn't come through in the smell, it was more peppery, spicy, probably the ginger doing it's work.
Once I had my first sip though, things got serious. The bitterness comes through but like the previous review said, the hop flavor itself isn't present whatsoever. The carrot came through in the taste, but it was subtle and blended very nicely with the caramel and the alcohol as well. Very unique taste in my opinion. It's a bit on the viscous side, but the carbonation is perfect and it's slick and smooth. It's a real feel-good beer.
Overall great, great beer, and if they sent it to full production I'd certainly buy it again.

Sampled at the brewpub, served in a snifter.

Sampled 08SEP12
[A] First off, the color of this beer is strikingly beautiful. The addition of carrot juice does what one might expect, and the result is a deep, radiant, endlessy orange hue. A serious haze means no transparency at all, but i think the body is more impressive looking because of it. The head is less than a finger high - off white and foamy. Retention is pour but a bubbly collar remains. Lacing is non existent.
[S] Much like pumpkins, carrots don't actually impart much aroma or flavor at all - and so it's no surprise that the ginger root is the prominent feature of the nose. I pick up on some other spices as well...perhaps a light hand of allspice and brown sugar. Malts include Pale, Maris Otter, and Crystal which result in a toasted, crust-like, caramelly base.
[T] The base recipe is an imperial pale ale but you would never know if you weren't told. The Saaz and Willamette hops seem to be for bittering only as there is no hop flavor (or aroma) to be noticed.
[M] The addition of lactose and crystal malt elevates the body towards medium full. It is semi thick, very smooth & and slightly grainy at the same time. Bitterness is low and sweetness is in check.
[O] This beer was markedly better than anticipated and actually pretty damn enjoyable. I was especially curious how it would be after I saw Sam say in a video that Hot Thoup! is served at 90° and with minimal carbonation. Well, I didn't get the carrot stick garnish, the carbonation was at typical levels, and the beer was served at normal temperature. But...I think it worked out better this way. Nice job Dogfish.

The state Department of Education unveiled the annual New England Common Assessment Program test scores yesterday. The standardized test is taken each fall by students in grades three through eight.
This year's results show that more elementary- and middle-school students than ever have met the state's expectations in math and reading.
This is the third year that students have taken the test, and the third time that the highest percentage of local students to meet the state's standards were from Windham. It's also the third time the lowest number of students to meet those standards have come from the Derry and Sanborn Regional school districts.
But this year, both Derry and Sanborn increased their "proficiency" scores in math and reading, while Windham did not. Proficient means a student has met state standards and is a term coined as part of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001.
And while the state expects proficiency numbers to rise each year, several school districts actually saw a decrease in the number of students who scored proficient when compared with last year. Fewer Chester students scored proficient in reading, while fewer Londonderry and Windham students were up to par in math.
Within the Timberlane Regional School District, students in Atkinson, Danville and Hampstead all fared well on the tests. But several grades in Plaistow, Sandown and the Timberlane Regional Middle School scored below the state average in math or reading, lowering the district's proficiency level.
With the exception of Salem and Pelham, every local school district failed to increase its proficiency level in at least one grade.
Salem Superintendent Michael Delahanty said he's excited by the news he received yesterday, and attributed the progress to the hard work of staff and students. He said the district has introduced new math programs and increased professional development opportunities in the past several years, which may have helped increase test scores.
Still, Delahanty said he's not celebrating the results.
"I'm certainly pleased that the results have shown or demonstrated some improvement, but I am cautiously optimistic," Delahanty said. "That doesn't mean that next year we won't see a downturn. I certainly hope not, I hope there's an upward pattern now, but until that pattern is demonstrated, I'm not going to get over excited."
Most local school administrators share that sentiment. A goal of No Child Left Behind is to get 100 percent of students to score "proficient" or better by the year 2014.
So far, Windham is the closest to hitting that goal, with more than 80 percent of its students in the third through eighth grades reaching that goal in math and reading.
"Consistently, Windham has done better than the state average, so that doesn't surprise me," Assistant Superintendent Roxanne Wilson said.
Despite that high proficiency rating, she said even Windham might see some repercussions from the state this year. Next month, schools will learn if they made adequate yearly progress - a label given to each school based on attendance records and standardized test scores.
Schools that do not meet adequate yearly progress for several years in a row can have federal or state aid taken from them.
This year, making adequate yearly progress has become a little harder. In past years, the state asked schools to strive for 82 percent of their students to be proficient in reading and 76 percent to be proficient in math. But this year, they have upped the ante, trying to get to the 100 percent mark. Schools are now supposed to try to reach an 86 percent proficiency mark in reading and 82 percent in math - a goal that administrators agree is going to be difficult to make.
"That's quite a jump, while we many have increased in proficiency, you can bet when AYP comes out, many schools are going to have the first strike against them if they haven't already," Wilson said.

The gas tax hike: One 'beeelion' dollars!
Gov. Maggie Hassan got this year's session started on the right foot when she announced she would veto a beer tax increase proposed by Rep. Charles Weed, D-Keene. That allowed her to take the middle ground between Republicans who wanted no tax hikes and the far left wing of her party, which thinks the government never has enough revenue to spend on all the good things liberals dream up.
Then, in her budget address, she proposed a tobacco tax increase three times the size of the one she campaigned on. But who cares about filthy smokers? Her inclusion of $80 million in gambling revenue in her budget sent the signal that she was unlikely to press for big tax hikes this year.
Then came last week's 207-163 vote to increase the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon.
Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, who has long wanted a gas tax hike, proposed a 12-cents per gallon increase along with a hike in vehicle registration fees. His bill was amended to remove the registration fee increase and raise the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon.
The current tax is 18 cents per gallon, the lowest in New England. Campbell's bill would increase it by 83 percent over four years. The 10-year impact is expected to be about $1 billion, dedicated to the state's roads, bridges and highways.
So it took the House all of 35 days to vote for a $1 billion tax increase.
In the weeks leading up to the sequester, President Obama said the automatic cuts would take a "meat cleaver" to the federal budget. He said it was irresponsible to chop away without precision (even though the sequester was his proposal). This $1 billion gas tax hike is the sequester in reverse. Instead of doing the hard work of figuring out precisely how much money is needed to fix roads and bridges - after the Department of Transportation budget is prioritized to eliminate non-essential spending - 207 representatives voted to simply throw $1 billion at the issue and proclaim it fixed.
This is not responsible budgeting. This is lazy tax hiking for the sake of tax hiking. And the worst bit is, the House is only getting started. We have months to go.

The Meaning of Life Doesn't Matter
One of the questions I tend to get is what I think the meaning of life is. I never have a good answer because I've never tried to answer the question. And I've never tried to answer the question because I don't think that it matters.
As children we're conditioned to do what we're supposed to do. That makes sense, because five-year-olds probably aren't well equipped to decide when to go to school or the dentist. The problem, though, is that we stay in this "supposed to" mode way too long. It becomes a habit and a way of life.
To me, figuring out the meaning of life is just an extension of figuring out what you're "supposed to do". Except, of course, that it can't be figured out. Humans have been trying forever and no one's gotten it yet. Odds are that you won't either.
And the reason it hasn't been figured out is that there isn't a meaning to life, other than the meaning you give it. And that's a good thing.
I don't believe in a higher power, a higher purpose, or life after death. No spirits or souls. Some people, maybe those who are too conditioned to the "supposed to" way of life, find that depressing.
I find it liberating. It brings what we can all agree we have-- a life-- to the forefront, cuts away the distraction, and gives us the responsibility to figure out what to do with it. It makes life a blank canvas rather than a color by numbers cartoon.
One of the best skills you can develop is the ability to completely ignore what you're supposed to do, and do what you think is best. That's not to say that these things don't overlap; you'd probably agree that driving the way you're supposed to down a one way street is a good idea. The idea isn't to be a contrarian, it's to disregard "supposed to" entirely.
So that's my advice to people looking for the meaning of life. Make your own meaning by doing what you think is best. Follow that advice and I doubt you'll have many regrets on your deathbed.

CATEGORIES Action, Animation, Classics, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Tech Stuff, Family Films, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Games and Game Movies, Lists, Movies, CinematicalAs much as I complain about CGI in movies, I do recognize and respect the few films that have used computer effects well. The truth is, some bad movies have great digital effects that go under-appreciated, which is far more tragic than the so-so movies that are ruined by weak CGI. Sure, Tron is a guilty pleasure for me and many others, but its only real worth is in its place in film history. Other movies that are important for their advancement of digital effects include Forrest Gump, Cliffhanger and The Perfect Storm -- none of which needs to be thought of for any other reason.
Popular Mechanics has listed these four films with six other (better) milestones. Many of them are not surprises; everybody thinks of Terminator 2: Judgment Day when thinking of significant digital effects, even though it wasn't even the first movie to feature morphing (Willow is not included in the ten, but it is referenced). Jurassic Park is also obvious, but then, this isn't really an opinion-based list. It is a chronological top ten based on real, monumental breakthroughs. There are a few on the list, such as Cliffhanger, that I didn't even know were of importance. Did you know it was the first film to use digital effects as an eraser?
So, I may have to take a look at this list whenever I'm about to curse the existence of computer effects. A lot of the worst effects are appropriately featured in movies that are already terrible, anyway (personally, I think The Lord of the Rings and its CGI fall into this worst/terrible category, but I probably shouldn't be admitting this, especially since it is on the list).
What do you think was the most important advancement in special effects history (pre-digital era included)?

FULL COVERAGE: National Red Balloon Day from start to finish
MORE than 10,000 'Thank You Fireys' Red Balloons have now been sold as part of National Red Balloon Day.
NRBD coordinator Jody Hardiman said she was "overwhelmed" by the success of the event.
"In the last few days we have been getting orders of 250 to 500 balloons from businesses and a couple of MPs, and even the Premier Denis Napthine's office has ordered a large quantity," she said.
"There are schools coming on board as well. Golden Square Primary School is holding a celebration on February 28; that's fantastic they got on board.
"We are getting lots of support in South Australia and Western Australia as well.
"It is hard to judge but we are hoping the final figures will be over $10,000. It has been amazing.
"We have received support from everyone from Joe Blow to the Premier.
"It is something that affects everyone."
Organisers will be at the IGA in Long Gully this Sunday handing out balloons.
NRBD takes place on February 28.

Dietitian's tip: A dab of creamy miso paste adds flavor to this easy dish. Mirin is a sweet rice cooking wine, available in some supermarkets and in most Asian markets. Try the marinade with grilled chicken or pork.
In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the mirin, chives, miso, soy sauce, tahini and ginger. Add the fish to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, turning the fish occasionally.
Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or place a grill pan over high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and pat dry. Discard the marinade. When the grill or pan is very hot, place the fillets on it and cook, turning carefully with a spatula, until grill-marked, firm to the touch and opaque in the center, about 4 minutes on each side.
Transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with the cilantro and sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Systems Showcase
Tom's HT
This is a pure dedicated HT room built from scratch. I did all the room mods and equipement install. All the sat and HT wire was also done by me. Inwall wire is 12/2. Cables are mostly Monster 2,3 or THX series. I have been completely happy withy this system over the years. I have only added a Blue Ray player to the system. It still amazes folks today. Future plans - Upgrade the Projector to a 1080P model ( not sure what brand yet) and update AV unit to a more current one running the latest HDMI audio Modes. Would also like to add some "true" HT seating.
From the sweet spot. Back seating is on a 7.75" wood riser (3/4" MDF and 2x6).
