Congratulations to the Winner Andras Birinyi who managed 22 correct out of the 23!
Here's the answers, running top left picture to bottom right picture:-
To whom it may concern:
Thank-you for your prompt service and excellent product; I am very impressed. I recently ordered three boxes of Ram Kangaroos and one box of Soviet SMG Infantry from you. The order arrived in very good time and the product was in very good shape when it arrived in Canada. The Soviet SMG Infantry castings were nice and clean and the poses seemed dynamic. The figures were well sculpted and cast. They needed a minimum of filing and cleaning before they were ready to paint. The Ram Kangaroos were simply outstanding! I have never seen such good models in 15mm. The resin castings were flawless - not a bubble or pit to be found in all twelve of the models. The metal castings were clean and crisp and were easily removed from their metal sprue. The resin was dense and quite heavy making for a model that has a weight comparable to metal models, which I prefer. The detailing on the models is excellent and I look forward to painting the models with loving care. Thank-you so much for your superlative product and your excellent service. Well done!
Rod Robertson - September, 2011
I first came across West Wind products at the Derby Show. The Cranwell Club has recently become interested in using the popular 15mm WW2 "Poor Bloody Infantry" rules by Peter Pig. I have been toying with purchas-ing a 1939 Polish army to support this venture and as Poles are not currently manufactured by Peter Pig, I had to cast my net further afield to find a figure manufacturer. I met a very helpful lady at the West Wind trade stand who was able to tell me about the product range. Unfortunately, the stan-dard polish infantry packs had all sold out, but there was a blister pack of support weapons and teams. These figures looked crisp, well detailed and suitably posed. Impressed with the quality, I ordered a blister of in-fantry "blind" by mail order. These arrived two days later, so they must have been dispatched as soon as the post office opened on the Monday a testament to their mail order dispatch service. I was not disappointed. The figure quality was excellent and there were enough figures to build a three section platoon including Light machine guns, section NCOs and a platoon officer. Once on the workshop table, they were flash free, need-ing hardly any cleaning up. Undercoated and painted drab earth, with the leatherwork and equipment painted, they were given a good coat of "Army Painter". This flowed into the creases of these lovely little mould-ings, setting them off a treat. New items are constantly coming onto the market their latest venture is armoured vehicles as well as expanding their infantry packs. Anyone interested in building an early war Polish infantry company of 3 rifle platoons, plus two support units, mortars and heavy machine guns can pick it up as a "Mega-Deal" at the special price of £50, a saving of £8.50 on the individual blisters. Other "Mega-Deals" are available on application if you are buying in bulk (e.g. club pur-chases) or if you are a megalomaniac like me who needs lots of figures. Other figure ranges include early British, French and Germans (including SS), with later Americans and Russians. I am told that Fallschirmjaeger are next on the list and I am looking forward to seeing these. If WW2 "doesn?t float your boat" they also have 1:3000 scale Napoleonic ships everything to fight Trafalgar in a box! Check out their website at www.forgedinbattle.com . STOP PRESS: West Wind will be holding a gaming open day later this year in Oldham using their products on a date to be announced.
David (Fallschirmjaeger) Frampton - July, 2011
Hi, I just wanted to let you know we received our order today and I amm really impressed. I really like your website, and I cannot wait until you get more stuff on there. You make mention of your PzIVH platoon pack, but I couldnot find it on the site, is this a future release or yet to be added? I havenot had chance to do anything with the infantry yet but the tiger is awesome. The casting is so much crisper than anything I have had so far, its got a nice solid feel to it too, and I really like the way there is not much that can fall off too, very sturdy.
So thanks for a great order, I will definitely be back for more, I will now have to convert my friends from 20mm :)
all the best, Tim.
Tim Ryder and Shelley Campbell - April, 2011
I found your website completely by accident and decided to see what your miniatures were like. I ordered one each of the infantry mega deals recently and am extremely pleased with them. They are everything I´d hoped they would be - highly detailed, very crisp and full of character (not an easy thing to give to such small models I´d imagine!). Your customer service is likewise, excellent, I will certainly have no reservations about ordering from you again.....and again.

AE [George Russell] (1867-1935)
Fairies in a Wood.
Oil on board, 29.2 x 45 cm Bequeathed, Dr Bethel Eric Robert Solomons, 2012NGI.2012.22
On his trips to Donegal, AE very often retired to his so-called 'Fairy House', a tiny building in the woods overlooking Sheephaven Bay. Scenes of dancing and leisure are common in his oeuvre. The painting has the whimsical quality, characteristic of much of his work.
The prominence of children in AE's pictures is far from incidental. Their blithe energy and imagination point to a freedom of spirit consistent with the visions the artist had developed from Theosophy, Irish mythology, memory and waking dreams. In articles in the Irish Statesman, AE lamented the stagnation that he observed in rural Ireland, brought about by a lack of amenities and emigration, but saw promise in young people. AE was au fait with Modernist trends, and convinced of the veracity of his own expression.
The NGI collection features some 25 works by AE, but just a small number of these are orthodox paintings in oils. Many works by AE included dancers in a landscape. Thematically, this picture bridges the gap in the collection between such works as Landscape with Figures (NGI.2008.92) and the more ethereal A Landscape with a Couple, and A Spirit with a Lute (NGI.4071).

Belize City, BLZ to Tikal, GTM
Day – 128 October 29, 2013
Mileage – Day: 148 miles, Trip: 20,528 miles
The rain kept coming and going with intermittent but drenching downpours. Looking at the weather forecast one last time, it confirmed that my dream of going out to the islands was a waste of time. Best to do it in the non-rainy season.
After getting up, I ran across the street from the hotel to grab some coffee and local cuisine that one can buy at any gas station. Across the street, I noticed a nice house with a tall wall around it topped with concertina wire that you would find in a prison. It is unfortunate that those who have nice things in Belize City must protect themselves so much that they build their own little prison. This is, of course, is pretty typical south of the US border.
The nice house of Belize City in self-imposed prison.
Getting back to the hotel, I gathered up my belongings and loaded up the Beast underneath the same carport I parked in the night before. It was time to say a disappointing goodbye to Belize and head to Guatemala. There were pyramids in the rain forest that I wanted to see.
Leaving Belize City, I stopped by the coast in what seems to be the only nice area of the whole city, but had the same impression as I rode out of it: overall a city of no character and a hole.
On the coast of Belize City.
As I turned back away from the coast and headed inland, the flat coastline slowly changed to the more hilly terrain and the sugar cane fields turned to cattle grazing fields mixed with large leafy vegetation seen in any tropical forest. Temperatures slowly dropped to become more moderate and the ride became more enjoyable, but the rain still caused local rivers to hit near their flood stage.
Highway to Guatemala before riding into the hills
Highway to Guatemala in the highlands….
…with flooding rivers.
With the more moderate temperature, housing styles also changed to become more westernized. After passing a house with a Canadian flag, it became more apparent that this is where more of the expats lived other than out on the islands.
House in more highlands of Belize.
Reaching the border, the process was fairly cut and dry other than waiting for the border agent to get done thumbing through his calendar for 15 minutes… he obviously was a busy man.
Border crossing out of Belize and into Guatemala.
After the traditional border-crossing two hours, I finally crossed the Belize/Guatemalan border in the late afternoon and headed to Tikal with sporadic downpours along the way. The roads got a little bit better except for the large sections of missing tarmac, which were replaced with deep mud that made riding a little slicker and a lot more stressful.
With a number of kilometers to go before actually reaching Tikal, I came to the gate of the park. It was a little before six in the evening and the park would be closing soon. I continued up the last few kilometers before reaching the main area of the park. There I got a somewhat expensive room at the Jaguar Inn so I didn't have to camp in the rain.

Inside the room…
…with an interesting sign.
After getting myself situated in the room, I grabbed a bite to eat at the restaurant, which was less than busy, and went to bed a little early. Tomorrow's sunrise tour started at 4 in the morning.

Child Stars Articles
Lily Rose Depp will be famous
On her own, she'll be famous. It was announced yesterday that Kevin Smith is shooting a new movie called Yoga Hosers about two 15 year old female superheroes starring his own daughter Harley Quinn and Johnny Depp's daughter Lily Rose. Johnny will also have a role in the film. They've already started production. Full Story
Ass shorts: always the answer
Famous people are f-cked up in a way we'll never understand or relate to. There are exceptions though. Imagine you're in an on-off toxic situation with a young pop star. You grew up in the business yourself. You had to support your family. Your value system is warped by Hollywood and, ostensibly, social media. Full Story
Lindsay Lohan: I didn't ask for it, people are obsessed with me
FameFlynet, Splash
Lindsay Lohan is doing a play in England. And in order to convince people that she's not a f-ck up anymore, she agreed to an interview with the BBC. Or, rather, the BBC agreed to an interview with her. It's the same sh-t she's been saying for years. That she was living out her "college experience". Full Story
Swim trunks optional
FameFlynet, KDNPIX/ Splash
Justin Bieber is in Miami, living large. Or trying to. Yachts, girls, beers… It's the big boy lifestyle. It goes with his muscles. Did you read the NY Mag article about JB that was posted this week, written by Vanessa Grigoriadis? She's the one who was supposed to do the Gwyneth Paltrow "take-down" or Vanity Fair last year. Full Story
Shia LaBeouf muzzled
Shia LaBeouf attended a performance of Cabaret in New York last night. He was smoking in the theatre. Also being aggressive with other patrons. To the point where they had to call the cops who cuffed him and took him to the police station. Where he allegedly verbally abused them ("I'll f-ck you up!") and spat at them so they ended up muzzling him. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
More Justin Bieber saying racist sh-t videos have surfaced. He apologised the other day. He's apologised again, telling the UK Sun that:
"Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with. But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger. At the end of the day, I just need to step up and own what I did."
Isn't it so brave that he had to open his statement with how HARD IT IS FOR HIM???
JB is being shamed, as he should be, for behaving like a bigot f-ck. But you know who else should be shamed? The people who are laughing along with him, the people in his life who encouraged this in him. After all, he had to have learned from somewhere, from someone. Ignorance is contagious. Read Full Intro
Racism by Justin Bieber
A video surfaced of Justin Bieber using the n-word this weekend in a candid moment that was recorded several years ago, when he was 15. TMZ claims that they had access to it four years ago but decided not to post it because he was so young back then and, according to them, had immediately expressed remorse. Full Story
Mac looks a lot better
Did we agree that we all kinda worry about Macaulay Culkin? He ended up hating it, didn't he? The fame. He just could never get comfortable with the fame. And all the other personal struggles that he had to manage under the weight of the fame. For a while there it looked like he was doing so great. Full Story
Lindsay Lohan's miscarriage
The politically correct thing to say here is that it's so sad that Lindsay Lohan had to go through a miscarriage. Because no one wants to come off as the c-nt who didn't believe Lindsay Lohan when she said on the final episode of her OWN docu-series that the reason she'd missed two weeks of shooting because she lost her baby. Full Story
Under The Bridge
Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away Did you think about that song when you heard about this story? TMZ Full Story
Emma Watson's first kiss
Check out Emma Watson on the cover of the new issue of ELLE. I really love this cover. Is it because I'm seeing it as a throwback to the 80s? It's the hair. And the denim shirt. For some reason Cindy Crawford came to mind. Then I looked through some of the other shots and it was Natalie Portman who I couldn't stop thinking about. Full Story
Selena Gomez went to rehab
And the streak continues… One after another, child star rehab. The latest: Selena Gomez. Her publicists have released a statement: "Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse." According to TMZ Full Story
Baby's first mugshot!
It's an important day in every child star's life – the mugshot…and we get two of them! He's smiling in the straight-on shot. But he gave us a pout in the side angle too. I was worried we wouldn't see JB's signature facial expression. You think someone told him to smile? Because this is the photo you're going to see a hundred times today around the world. Full Story
JB eggs
TMZ reports that Justin Bieber egged his neighbour's house. There's video with audio. This f-cking punk… I don't want to talk about why he did it because we all know why. He's a PUNK. No discussion/debate necessary. Full Story

For fifteen weeks now, Sir Pour has been making recommendations for the Panthers games. These beers have run the gamut from light to dark, from hoppy and bitter to sweet and chocolatey, from low in alcohol to big, boozy monsters. We've seen some popular national beers and more obscure local ones, the latter of which might not be available to all of Panthers Nation (for we are legion).
So instead of recommending a single beer for this last game of the regular season, I want you to sound off in the comments by telling me your favorite local beer.
Your Local Beer - Hometown Brewery, Anytown, USA
The Brewery
Maybe it's brewed a block away. Maybe it's many miles. But chances are, there's a brewery near you turning out great, fresh beer, while doing their part to bring jobs and industry to their respective cities as well.
The Brew
One of the best things about the craft beer industry is the sheer diversity of beers. I firmly believe there's a style out there for everyone, and that you can usually get said style fresh from a local brewery is just icing on the cake.
How it relates to the game
After their season last year, the Atlanta Falcons surely didn't anticipate being 4-11 at this point in the season. Despite having one of the league's worst records, this is not a team you want to count out. The Panthers and several other teams may have blown the Falcons out earlier this season, but they've been playing markedly better as of late. In December, they had wins over the Bills and the Redskins. Sure, those aren't top tier teams, but Atlanta almost came away with victories against the Saints and, most recently, the 49ers.
Like so many Panthers teams in years past, the Falcons dug themselves a whole early on that they will not get out of. They may not have a chance at the playoffs, but they do have the chance to play spoiler to those that do. If anyone can appreciate that, it has to be Panthers fans.
So what's the best combatant against a spoiler? Freshness, of course. Grab the freshest beer you can find and give thanks that you can find quality beer in your backyard.
Price Point / Availability
You tell me!

The Jewel is well appointed, the cabins comfortable with plenty of chances for exercise should you hike from the fore end of Deck 7 up and down the stairs to all meals, activities and music.
Since there was no seating available in either early or MyTime, I elected to have all my evening meals in the buffet area. The staff was superb in service, the Indian and Japanese Cuisine Excellent and I really appreciated the variety of cold soups over the two weeks. As a vegetarian, having food labeled clearly and a variety available made my evening meals a pleasure.
The Cruise Director's staff from Chloe on down were extremely supportive and found the 10-35 knitters/crocheters who met on sea days in the upper lounges quite fun and even supplied some needles and yarn for those who had failed to bring along enough to do. Scrapbooking and Jewelry making were oversubscribed which I think also startled the staff.
Other than the Country and Western Group who seemed to have only one set (and I do know how started the howl due to the pain of being able to set your watch by their music) the musicians were fantastic, especially the string players.
The Fitness Center is excellent and the staff knowledgeable.
Fun, yes! Will I book with RCI for cruises? Of course, have a couple already booked for this coming fall. Great ship if you want to relax, talk with people, spend time on fitness, your own interests. The library was pitiful - bring your own Nook/Kindle/iPad....

Productive seniors
Re: Timm Herdt's Jan. 30 column, "Facing California's top challenge":
I take exception to Herdt's "inescapable conclusion" that tomorrow's workers will have to be very productive to support our aging population.
This conclusion is based on several faulty premises: (1) that seniors are dependent on younger workers, (2) that a functional definition of "senior" (e.g., age 65-plus) will remain constant, and (3) that seniors are unproductive and contribute little to our economy.
Increases in our longevity have been accompanied by increases in our productive years, not in our frail, unproductive years. An increasing portion of our gross national product will be provided by those over 65, not solely by increasingly productive younger workers.
Seniors who lack salaried income are too often viewed as unproductive and somehow dependent. Imagine the impact on our economy if all seniors withdrew their 401(k) and pension funds and stored them in their mattresses. Seniors spend nearly as much annually after retirement as during their salaried years, and thus to a measurable degree drive our economy.
In addition to supporting our economy through invested savings and spending, a large portion of seniors donate their time and skills. That there is economic value to volunteerism should come as no surprise to those who recall estimates of the economic value of being a housewife.
Let's give those over 65 credit for what they contribute to our economy through their employability, skills, education, accumulated wealth, purchasing power and generosity.

Nishizawa Keikoku
Loading ...
Panoramic photo by Thomas Humeau Taken 14:58, 22/01/2012 - Views
Nishizawa Keikoku
The Nishizawa Keikoku (西沢渓谷) is one of the most beautiful valleys of the Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, a park which covers more than 1250 square kilometers of forested mountains, hills, gorges and some rural towns in the prefectures of Yamanashi, Saitama, Nagano and Tokyo.
A hiking trail leads up the narrow Nishizawa Valley along a picturesque mountain stream and past several waterfalls. After about 90 minutes, you reach the valley's highlight, the Nanatsugama-Godan-no-Taki, a beautiful five tiered waterfall. A separate, more leveled trail leads back from the waterfall to the bus stop.
The trail through the valley is steep at times, and sturdy shoes are recommended. A visit to the Nishizawa Keikoku is particularly beautiful during the autumn leaves season, which usually reaches its peak in late October and early November.

Mt. Kumotoriyama is on Tokyo and Saitama prefecture, and is the highest altitude in Tokyo prefecture...
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

By Wade Coggeshall
INDIANAPOLIS — Scott Stoll hit his nadir just before New Year's in 1997. That's when his girlfriend dumped him, his roommate eloped, and he lost his job - all in short order.
"I was suddenly without money, my best friend, my love, my career," Stoll said. "My whole perception of reality, my identity, had been called into question."
So he did what any rational person would - spent four years riding his bicycle more than 25,000 miles across 50 countries and six continents. It's all detailed in Stoll's book Falling Uphill.
The Milwaukee native will speak about the experience at 7 p.m. Jan. 16 in Clowes Auditorium at the Central Library, 40 E. St. Clair St.
It's part of a free speaker series presented by the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library and the Central Indiana Bicycling Association. Each guest speaker has traveled the world by bicycle and will discuss their journey.
Each event is 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month, through April, at the Central Library. Future speakers are Willie Weir, Jerry Williams, and Jim Gange.
After Stoll's incredibly rainy day, he began asking himself if there was anything he could do, without limitations or fear, what would it be?
"I realized I had been living backwards - trying to do everything right, hoping people liked me," he said. "Then I'll get what I want."
An avid bicyclist, Stoll decided to hop on his two wheels and pursue the happiness that eluded him.
"I figured it had to be in the world somewhere," he said. "I knew I liked to ride a bike. It all added up."
As spontaneous as that may sound, it still took Stoll four years to save the money necessary to begin his odyssey. He also took a ride from border to border and coast to coast in his native United States to prepare.
Once the real trip began, Stoll left his schedule open-ended and simply followed the weather and wind. When he wasn't near civilization, he camped and cooked his own food.
Along the way, Stoll endured some pretty nasty viruses and lots of aches and pains, dealt with more than 100 flat tires and other bicycle malfunctions, crashed dozens of times, was robbed at gunpoint, and even spent a day in a Zimbabwean prison.
But the experience also basically answered all of his questions.
"That's the beauty of why I'm still talking about it and why people still buy the book," said Stoll, who's a graphic designer by trade. "The trip keeps growing. It ended a relatively long time ago, but it still changes me. I still keep growing from it in ways I never imagined possible. When people go on such adventures, they may have one goal in mind but, if they're lucky, they come back with something more."
Aside from having to readjust to the culture of his native country, Stoll also admits his biggest fear after the odyssey ended was that it would be his life's pinnacle. But after a couple years, he discovered more unanswered questions he had.
"That started a new journey," Stoll said. "Luckily I've learned, and I know it sounds clichŽ, to find the adventure in everyday life. I definitely take a lot more joy in things I thought would be ordinary."
He's often asked what's the secret to fulfilling one's dream or even knowing what to do with your life.
"I always say step zero is all everything needs to fall apart," Stoll said.
Indeed, hitting rock bottom tends to offer drastically different perspectives. Stoll notes there are a plurality of movie characters who endure some kind of crisis before breaking through their proverbial walls.
"Fortunately, when you're watching a movie you can see the other side," he said. "In real life you don't have any idea, and that's probably the most frightening thing there is. In my experience, you basically have to throw everything away and start over."

SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Shepherdsville police are actively seeking a man who they say made threats toward a school district employee on Tuesday and should be considered dangerous.
Officers are urging the public to be on the lookout for 43-year-old Randall Carman. He is believed to be driving a black and silver 1995 Ford F150 pickup truck with a "Hee Haw" decal on the front windshield and KY license plate number 052-NZS.
"Bullitt Alternative Center (BAC) received a series of threatening phone calls from a single individual directed toward a specific staff member," Eric Farris, an attorney representing the Bullitt County Schools said in a written statement. "The threatening calls were personal in nature and were not related to the school or events in the school."
Farris and Shepherdsville police said the threats were the apparent result of a domestic dispute and were not directed toward BAC or any students.
"At no time did any events ever occur on campus, and no students were ever in danger," Farris said.
The school campus and the adjacent Bullitt Central High School and Bullitt County Area Technical Center were placed on "soft lockdown" during the investigation. Farris said a soft lockdown means that instructors continue to teach in classrooms, but doors are closed and locked and no visitors are allowed to enter or leave the buildings. Students were dismissed as normal on Tuesday. Farris said appropriate security measures are in place.
According to police, Carman is known to frequent Bullitt and Henry Counties and has family in Henry County.
Multiple warrants and an emergency protective order have been issued against him.
Anyone with information on Carman's whereabouts should call the Shepherdsville Police Department at 502-543-7074.

Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
[size=18px]Childress praises Culpepper's rehabilitation work[/size]
Kevin Seifert and Judd Zulgad, Star Tribune
While acknowledging the rough start of their relationship, Vikings coach Brad Childress praised quarterback Daunte Culpepper on Wednesday for his dogged approach to rehabilitating his right knee.
The Vikings dispatched new athletic trainer Eric Sugarman to Florida this week to update Culpepper's progress. Sugarman reported that Culpepper is on schedule, and Childress said it is not out of the question that Culpepper could participate in some non-football drills during spring mini-camp.
That assumes Culpepper is still with the team at that point, a possibility Childress did not address Wednesday. But in his first comments since Culpepper was put on the trading block, Childress said he considers him part of the team until he is told otherwise.
"I just think we got off to a rocky start," Childress said. "But that happens sometimes when emotions run high. But he's doing a great job with the rehab and I'm happy to hear that. Nothing else happens unless the knee gets rehabbed."
Culpepper suffered three tore ligaments in his right knee Oct. 30, and most doctors project at least a 12-month recovery period. That timetable concerns most teams who might otherwise be interested in trading for Culpepper, but Childress said Culpepper is doing everything he is asked.
"Eric Sugarman was down there Monday," Childress said. "He watched him work out, got permission to put his hands on him. Suffice it to say, he looked good. For three months [after surgery], he's doing a good job."
Bud wants you
Former coach Bud Grant is one of three co-chairs of a new grassroots stadium initiative known as Minnesota Momentum. The group includes 25 to 30 founding members but is open to all Vikings fans by visiting www.MinnesotaMomentum.com.
Grant will help spearhead an effort to convince local legislators to consider the Vikings' stadium project during the upcoming session. The stadium cost is $675 million, but a retail and housing plan would total as much as $1.4 billion.
Owner Zygi Wilf would provide $1 billion of that as a private investment, while the public is being asked for nearly $400 million.
"I'm a layperson," Grant said Wednesday. "I'm not a financier. That's Zygi's department. He has all those numbers. But from where I see it, I can't see how this isn't a great deal. I just can't see it."
The Vikings have scheduled a stadium-related meeting this week with members of Gov. Tim Pawlenty's staff. Lester Bagley, the team's vice president of public affairs and stadium development, said Minnesota Momentum will help unearth thousands of stadium supporters.
"We have an incredibly intense fan base," Bagley said. "And a good percentage of them support what we're trying to do.
"Our challenge is to make sure they weigh in on this issue. It's part of a broader effort to get the Vikings' stadium plan to the table."
Cowart's status is up in the air
The agent for linebacker Sam Cowart, a pending free agent, said he has spoken with Rob Brzezinski, vice president of football operations. But agent Paul Healy said Brzezinski did not indicate whether the team wants to re-sign Cowart.
"I have talked to Rob, but the ball is in their court," Healy said. "Sam had a great experience with the Vikings and would like to be back but obviously he is going to look elsewhere [if it comes to that]. We'll just have to wait and see."Kentucky Vikes Fan

Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
[size=18px]Vikings get encouraging report on Culpepper's knee[/size]
Sid Hartman
The positive news about Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper is he is making very good progress in rehabilitating his right knee that underwent surgery to repair three torn ligaments, and he should be ready to play football this season.
Vikings coach Brad Childress wanted to get an update on Culpepper's progress and got good news from head trainer Eric Sugarman, who flew to Orlando, Fla., to test Culpepper's knee and came back encouraged.
That report should be a positive for any club interested in trading for Culpepper, who currently is the 11th highest-paid quarterback in the NFL.
While Culpepper continues to remain in Orlando, Brad Johnson was in the Twin Cities the other day and spent a long time visiting with Childress. The word is they hit it off very well.
If you are a betting man, look for Culpepper not to be in a Vikings uniform for 2006 and Johnson to be the No. 1 quarterback.
But if the Vikings keep Culpepper and pay his $6 million roster bonus by March 14, it will take more than a second-round draft choice from a team to get Culpepper. It would be shock to a lot of people if they released Culpepper, but that could happen if there is any doubt about his ability to play after his injury.
No doubt the Vikings will be taking a big gamble if they release or trade Culpepper, but that could happen.
Vikings team owner Zygi Wilf is no longer saying that Culpepper absolutely will get his $6 million bonus, something he was saying until recently. No doubt Childress will have a lot to say about that decision.
Other QBs available
The teams most interested in Culpepper right now are Baltimore and Miami. However, a person with knowledge about the quarterback market pointed out that three other starting quarterbacks could be available -- Steve McNair of the Titans, Drew Brees of the Chargers and Chad Pennington of the Jets. All have injury problems, but none as serious as Culpepper.
Miami media outlets have reported that the Dolphins are having a problem negotiating a contract with Gus Frerotte, who was Miami's No. 1 quarterback last season after backing up Culpepper with Minnesota in 2003 and 2004.
The word is that the Dolphins are asking Frerotte to take a cut from the $4.43 million he is to be paid this season.
Meanwhile, Childress had dinner the other night with unrestricted free-agent cornerback Brian Williams in an effort to convince him to re-sign with the Vikings.
While there hasn't been a lot of news out of Winter Park, the coaches and personnel people are working a lot of overtime to try to put together a football team that will be a Super Bowl contender this season.Kentucky Vikes Fan

Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
Now that's what I needed to hear. No good news, no bad news, just that Culpepper's rehab is progressing well.
Thanks Cojo. :salute:
Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
I disagree that Pep's injury is more serious than the other three QBs...yes, INITIALLY it is...BUT he could still function quite well as a pocket passer since his upper body is still healthy and his legs would be probably CLOSE to 100%, while both Pennington and Brees have shoulder issues which would hamper their ability to throw the ball if they don't come back 100%. McNair is an interesting case, but he may be broken down from all of the years that he played in the NFL. Of course, all four could have career years next year...it is a gamble no matter how you slice it!BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE
Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
If I had to put money on someone other than Pep, I'd have to bet on Brees.
Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
Great! This should help his trade value! :wink:The best part of my day is when I get down on my knees, with my head in my hands, and thank GOD for everything he has given me.
Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
Awesome! Hopefully he stays now.Retired 12/21/08
Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
KeeP D.C. focused on his knee and get him relaxed on his position with the Vikes.. nothin moves foward unless that knee is rebuilt!!
I know.. 6 months rehab on right knee.. it takes a LOT of focus to get up and do those !#$^!#$% exercises every day!!

Re: Childress praises Culpepper's rehab
Seems to be a generally positive outlook once the media get a word in with the coaching staff doesn't it! Don't worry, after another week of no contact they'll be back to slamming the Vikings again. While it's great to find out what Childress is thinking, the article seems like a fluff piece to me. Especially the last paragraph: "While there hasn't been a lot of news out of Winter Park, the coaches and personnel people are working a lot of overtime to try to put together a football team that will be a Super Bowl contender this season." Wasn't it just a week ago that the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press were slamming the Vikings for an inexperienced coaching staff, inexperienced ownership and a poor stadium plan? Don't get me wrong, it's lovely to see the papers writing stuff like this because they're putting a positive spin on it.. But that's all it is: spin.

Kate Baldwin and Norbert Leo Butz Sing Andrew Lippa Tunes From Broadway-Bound Big Fish (Audio)
By Michael Gioia
The new musical Big Fish, based on the 1998 novel by Daniel Wallace and the 2003 Columbia Pictures film written by John August, will begin its pre-Broadway engagement April 2 in Chicago. Here's a first listen to two songs from the piece, featuring music and lyrics by Tony nominee Andrew Lippa.
The world premiere of Big Fish at Chicago's Oriental Theatre will officially open April 19 and continue through May 5. The musical will swim into Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre Sept. 5, prior to an official opening Oct. 6.
Directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, with music and lyrics by Grammy and Tony nominee Lippa (The Addams Family) and a book by Grammy and BAFTA Award nominee John August, the production will star two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Catch Me If You Can) as Edward Bloom and Tony Award nominee Kate Baldwin (Finian's Rainbow) as Sandra Bloom.
Take a listen to "Time Stops," performed by Butz and Baldwin:
Also in the cast are Tony Award nominee Bobby Steggert as Will Bloom, Krystal Joy Brown as Josephine Bloom and Zachary Unger and Anthony Pierni alternating the role of Young Will with Ryan Andes, Ben Crawford, J.

The company will also include Preston Truman Boyd, Alex Brightman, Bree Branker, Joshua Buscher, Robin Campbell, Bryn Dowling, Jason Lee Garrett, Leah Hoffman, Synthia Link, Angie Schworer, Lara Seibert, Tally Sessions, Cary Tedder and Ashley Yeater.
"A rollicking fantasy set in the American South," Big Fish, according to press notes, "centers on the charismatic Edward Bloom (Butz), whose impossible stories of his epic adventures frustrate his son Will (Steggert). As Edward's final chapter approaches, Will embarks on his own journey to find out who his father really is, revealing the man behind the myth, the truth from the tall tales."
Listen to "Fight the Dragons," performed by Butz:
The new musical will have scenic design by Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Julian Crouch, costume design by five-time Tony Award winner William Ivey Long, lighting design by two-time Tony Award winner Donald Holder, sound design by Los Angeles Drama Critics Award winner Jon Weston, projection design by Drama Desk Award winner Benjamin Pearcy for 59 Productions, musical direction by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, orchestrations by Larry Hochman and dance arrangements by Sam Davis.

In December 2003 an acclaimed film of "Big Fish" was released by Columbia Pictures directed by Tim Burton, starring Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Billy Crudup, Jessica Lange and Helena Bonham Carter. The film was nominated for an Academy Award, Grammy Award, four Golden Globe Awards and seven BAFTA Awards. Big Fish is produced by Dan Jinks, Bruce Cohen and Stage Entertainment with Roy Furman, The Nederlander Organization, John Domo and Broadway Across America.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are up 2-0 in their series against the Dallas Mavericks, but the series doesn't feel like a blowout so far. Oklahoma City won each game by just one possession at home, with Kevin Durant looking very much human in both games outside of his incredible game-winning shot in Game 1.
Dallas has played well and might not deserve to be in a 2-0 hole, but they're in that hole nonetheless. Even though they've held Durant offensively and have lost by a cumulative four points, the Mavericks are in a virtual must-win situation on Thursday and, based on Oklahoma City's home record, Game 4 is a near must-win as well. A 3-0 comeback has never happened, and 3-1 comebacks are extremely rare.
Game Date/Time: Thursday, May 3, 9:30 p.m. ET
Venue: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas

Fall officially begins at the autumnal equinox, which usually happens around September 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. The term "equinox" comes from the Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night), to indicate that during the equinox the night and day are equally long.
Autumn is typically known for its harvest themes, vibrant colors, blustery winds, happy pumpkins, and swirling leaves, and it's a favorite season for poets, painters, photographers and romantics.

the first of the growlers this evening this one really set it off quite nice for the mood,
bright golden yellow coming forward right away. Lots of haze in here and a fair amount of sediment as well. A huge, billowing head of white foam that reached a height of three inches then formed over the top and took what seemed like forever to settle down, but when it eventually did it left behind tons of lace in its wake. Rich side glass contribution and a good amount of carbonation as well, very solid looking here for sure.
The aroma was very nice, light, with a predominance of hoppy tones in it. Light grain and yeast as well as some touches of grass and light fruit aromas, but mostly wheat in here. The flavor was more of the same, very good, with a tight, crisp and clean profile that was very easy to drink. Nice carbonation kept the overall feel very light and airy and kept the alcohol well hidden in the profile. Started with a roll of light grain, some lemon zest and a touch of grass then morphed it into a nice light peach flavor that came across well blended and served up well with the profile

On-tap at the Hunaphu release. This just sounded terrible and I was quite dubious, however, after Sean's rec I'm glad I gave this a try.. Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a decent white head, looks fine... The aroma is light and sweet, perfect for a warm sunny day. Lots of lemongrass on the front with some citrus, a hint of ginger on the finish. Glad the ginger was muted or this could have been trouble... The taste is wheat and lemongrass on the front. The ginger only presents on the finish, which is perfectly executed. It adds excitement to the finish, and also if it was present throughout it would be too strong and overpowering. This is a perfect beer to have with chinese food, move over Kirin.

Massive thanks goes out to BRoss242 who shared this one with the group at the "Evening Wood" tasting graciously hosted by cmrillo! Served from growler into a Mikkeller flute. Poured a hazy straw yellow with a half finger white head that subsided to a minimal amount quickly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, fruit, lemongrass, and ginger. The flavor was of sweet malt, fruit, chrerries, fruit juice, raspberries, ginger, and lemongrass. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this brew was quite excellent for the style. I didn't think I could have an American Pale Wheat with this much complexity going on in it. Boy was I wrong... This thing is really great and would make an excellent pool-side companion or Hell, just a nice one to drink sitting on the couch. All the flavors work really well together and the aroma is quite inviting. Definitely worth trying if you get the opportunity!

On-tap at 2nd Hunahpu's Release.
A - Pours a slighty hazy yellow, small amount of white head, large bubbles here and there. No lacing or retention, really, just the beer is all that's left after the initial pour. 4
S - Ginger, lots of ginger. Wow, not exactly sure what lemongrass smells like, but I did get a nice citrus aroma along with the ginger. Not much of anything else, no real hops or malts on the front or back. 4
T - Ginger, slight citrus, some floral hops. The ginger is the main character here, leaving nothing to be desired if you enjoy it (which I do). 4.5
M - Light, soft carbonation, crisp and refreshing. 4
D - Chugable, even for a ginger-centered beer. Really liked this one from FB and really surprised me. Recommend! 4

Poured from a 32oz Funky Buddha growler into two tulips. Extra special thanks to the lovely HeatherAnn for this surprise growler!
A: Pours a glowing bright gold bar color that is perfectly hazed. A smallish bright white head spreads out on top before settling down to a thin ring. Only a few webs of lace were left behind and carbonation was on the lazy side.
S: Interesting, I couldn't keep my nose out of this. Obvious snoot full of ginger with, lemongrass, mild citrus, and a bit of toasted grain.
T: Wow! Initial blast of ginger, tangerine, lemon, and lemongrass that settles into a killer toasty wheat flavor that gradually meanders back to more citrus and a kiss of earthy hops.
M: Sweet, tangy, and spicy. Sticky middle and long earthy finish.
O: I wasn't sure what to expect with this but Heather and Holly swore that this was awesome. They were totally right!

The Backlog-o-tron speweth:
On-tap at Hunahpu day
A - Pours a cloudy golden hue, and is capped with a filmy white head.
S - The nose is unusual, but I am not sure how interesting it is to me. There is some tart citrus, a bunch of floral lemongrass and a hint of medicinal ginger. The nose smells pleasant for the most part, but unfortunately it reminds me of an air freshener, so it takes a hit for that.
T - The taste is better-than-decent, but not by much; it is not as interesting or good as the nose. It tastes a bit too dirty on the wheat tip for my liking, and the spicing seems somewhat awkward and forced; the lemongrass and ginger do not meld as well in this beer as they would in, say, Vietnamese food. Notes of overripe orange, bruised banana and clove are notable but not tremendously thrilling. On a purely positive note, it is quite refreshing.
M - The feel is somewhat watery. It helps the drinkability, but makes for less impressive brew.
O - This beer is probably very good summer beer.

Special tap at hunahpu day.
A: Cloudy pale yellow color. A nice fluffy white head appears and leaves some nice spotty lace.
A: This is lemongrass all the way. Just huge lemon and ginger. Nice wheat malt present, with some citrus hops.
T: Again, lemongrass and ginger. Wheat, lemon, orange peel, and maybe even a little lime. It finishes slightly dry, just a touch sour, and very refreshing.
M: Light body, high carbonation. Very crisp on the palate.
D and overall impression: Drinkability is pretty nice considering the flavors they packed into this brew. Overall, this is a great summer beer to be sipping on by the pool, or the lake, or the ocean. Funky Buddah is putting out some very original brews, this one does not dissapoint. Skal.

Had this one on tap at the Florida Brewer's Guild Fest in Ybor City and again at CCB's Hunahpu Release Party.
A - Pours a hazy yellow with a finger width frothy white head that quickly dissipates and leaves minimal lacing on the glass.
S - The initial aroma is that of lemongrass, ginger, banana and a little soapy flavor on the back end.
T - The taste is wheat and biting lemongrass on the front, with the sweetness and the ginger coming in next. I'm also getting a little clove note at the end.
M - Light bodied with a medium-high carbonation level.
O - This is a crisp and refreshing beer. The drink-ability factor is a little low based on the level of sweetness. All in all, a very creative beer with some equally creative use of flavors.

On tap at Funky Buddha. I've been awaiting this beer release for some time. It seems that I somehow I always just miss it. The base beer is the Floridan so that would explain a lot of the banana aroma I got from the first whiff. It has a nice lemon/ginger zest to it as well. The carbonation was a little off IMO and it almost reminded me of a flat Sprite. It's still a good beer, don't get me wrong.

The Five Most Common Myths Of Thermal Imaging
Errant information related to thermal imaging seems to permeate the fire service. I am not sure what causes this, but it seems like several topics simply will not die and keep getting reintroduced. What bothers me most is that, often times, these...
To access the remainder of this piece of premium content, you must be registered with Firehouse. Already have an account? Login

Complete the registration form.
Image quality is not everything. Image quality is one thing. Having and using a thermal imager is everything. Each department must make its own decisions about what is most important. Image quality is important as is durability, size, battery life and other considerations; however, no feature is universal, and no feature will satisfy everyone.
Thermal imagers are a major expense for many departments, and most fear buyer's remorse after the purchase. Most departments want to buy the very best thermal imager they can afford, but I have seen many departments bypass the opportunity to buy an imager because they could not afford the best image quality. Any thermal imager is better than no thermal imager. Image quality is often the primary cost driver in a thermal imager, and it is overrated. If you can afford better image quality, then by all means buy it; however, every thermal imager manufactured for and sold to the fire service has sufficient image quality for navigating a structure, locating victims and identifying secondary means of egress. I don't care if you go to eBay to buy an imager that is 10 years old if that is all you can afford because even the image quality of a 10-year-old imager is better than no thermal imager at all.
Myth 4: Thermal imaging is complicated
Thermal imagers are technical and complicated. Thermal imaging is neither. One of the best things about a thermal imager is that it is extremely intuitive for the most common tasks such as navigation, victim location and egress. When my kids were smaller, they used to play hide-and-seek with thermal imagers at home (one of the perks of the job) and with no instruction at all they quickly figured out how to spot footprints on the floor in order to find where the other one was hiding. They never questioned navigating. It simply wasn't an issue.
I am not proposing that the stakes in firefighting are not higher than hide-and-seek; rather, I am trusting that no firefighter would ever enter a structure without being trained in the basics of firefighting. Thermal imagers should never replace basic firefighting skills, but don't get caught up in the technology trap. If you are interested in how thermal imagers work, then seek the knowledge, but don't fall victim to the belief that thermal imaging requires extensive, advanced training to use. You should always take advantage of training if you can find it, but using a thermal imager is not complicated.
Myth 5: "I don't need a thermal imager"
Of course you don't. Twenty years ago, long coats and high boots were sufficient, and you did not need full turnouts. You don't need a thermal imager. You can definitely fight fire without them. The question is: "Should you?"
Why would you not take advantage of the ability to see in an otherwise pitch-black environment? Why would you bypass the opportunity to locate a victim faster? Better yet, why would you bypass the opportunity to find one of your own faster? If you were the one trapped and calling a Mayday, would you want your rapid intervention team using a thermal imager? I would. Is it necessary to use a thermal imager to rescue a downed firefighter? No. Is it preferable? Unequivocally.
Again, covering these topics is not meant to be deep. Of course, there is more to talk about on each one; however, as the technology and utilization matures, so too must the understanding. When a technology approaches ubiquity, some buyers take their eye off the ball and fall victim to hype.
As with anything, strive for common sense and sound judgment. If you don't understand something, seek answers. In the face of a claim that does not pass the sniff test, ask for proof. Challenge everything. Myths and misstatements are standing in the way of broader adoption, and we simply should not stand for this. After all, a firefighter's life may depend on it.

Exptected to be 2 to 3 Days Mopping Up
A LARGE, VACANT FORMER TEXTILE MILL in Spartanburg, South Carolina, burned down Saturday night and is expected to keep units on the scene for about two more days.
Herald-Journal / Kimzey
Known as the Saxon Mill, the massive 5-story building was constructed in 1906, but has been vacant for several years. The fire was discovered around 9:45 pm Saturday and already had advanced considerably by the time the FD arrived. Extra calls were placed for mutual aid from twelve more departments bringing over 100 firefighters to the scene.
The Spartanburg Herald-Journal reports:
Spartanburg County Emergency Management Coordinator Doug Bryson said the fire, which was still raging close to 1 a.m. Sunday was called in about 9:50 p.m. Saturday. No cause has been determined. Firefighters were making an aerial attack on the blaze, Bryson said, because going inside the building was too dangerous for the time being.
"Right now, they're just trying to contain it, trying to keep it from spreading to other structures," Bryson said. "It's cooled off. The rain is helping us some. The wood floors, soaked with oil, with 100 years of textile dust – those are always an issue with these mill fires."
Herald-Journal / Kimzey
No homes in the mill village were in immediate danger, Bryson said. No hazardous materials were inside the building.
WSPA-TV posted this raw video of the fire and another from the aftermath on Sunday:
* * * * *
WSPA-TV adds:
Firefighters say the flames at the old, empty Saxon mill were contained early Sunday morning. Una Fire Chief Jeff Hadden said he does not believe this fire was accidental. He says it's hard to know if some vagrants were inside the old mill or maybe someone trying to steal copper. They may never know the exact cause, but he says it's definitely suspicious.
The Spartanburg County Delinquent Tax Sale was on Monday, Saxton Mill was on the list.

Police caught an alleged burglar after a woman found him in her Arizona City home on Monday. Pinal County Sheriff's deputies say a woman walked into her bedroom after arriving home and found a suspect there. He then ran through her home and left out the back door. When deputies arrived, they set up a perimeter and found a man matching the suspect's description running through yards carrying a handgun. Deputies say the suspect was trying to cycle the gun while running and accidentally dropped the magazine with the bullets in the process. The suspect, Angel Meza, 36, was cornered and taken into custody. Meza allegedly admitted to being in the home, but said the "devil" set him up and put a stolen handgun and other property on him.Deputies say Meza told them he'd recently used drugs. Meza allegedly stole a gun, watches and other items from the woman's home. According to deputies, Meza is a convicted felon and not allowed to possess a firearm. He's facing charges of residential burglary, trespassing, theft and misconduct involving a weapon.

Waste Disposal: Landfill Alternative
"Atomising trash eliminates the need to dump it, and generates useful power too"
Where does trash go? As far as we know, it goes from the garbage bin outside our house, to the garbage truck and then it goes.......where, the bay? Space? Underneath earth's crust? Ah, no. From the trucks it goes to various collection facilities and is then dumped in a landfill where it stubbornly sits for however many eons until it decomposes into toxic gas. Not only is the sheer volume of trash rapidly increasing, but the space required to meet this increase is decreasing. Growing populations = more trash and less space to dump it in.
San Franciscans know all too well the implications of building on top of a landfill (Hint: 1906 and 1989). So what can be done about this increasingly pressing issue? Hilburn Hillestad of Geoplasma, an Atlanta-based firm, might have the answer. http://www.economist.com/node/18061104?story_id=18061104 Essentially what they have been creating is a clean, advanced way of disposing of waste; they are zapping it with a plasma torch, or artificial lightning, and turning it into nothing. Vaporizing trash! So cool! Well, it doesn't exactly turn into nothing. The gas that is produced from this process is called syngas and it is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide which can then be used to generate electricity.
Although this process is still in the beginning stages and is still costly, it could prove to be a revolutionary invention and perhaps help to counter pollution. Until it becomes more publicly available, we'll just have to sit tight and cross our fingers that this will someday have a positive impact on the environment on both a global and local level.
I agree
Yes, I read the same article in The Economist and had the same idea. While the technology is still pretty new, it means that a city can use its own garbage to generate electricity to run the city.
The Economist reported that the company, Geoplasma, is building a plant in Florida at a cost of $120 million but which will generate electricity for 20,000 homes. So, yes, it is expensive to convert to this technology but there is great potential for it. And, as the technology has improved, private companies are finding this new process to be profitable.
Has anyone approached Sunset Waste Management (or Recology or whatever they call themselves) about this new technology? As a city, SF has the ability to award contracts for waste disposal so we could, if we wanted, push for this.

Studies in secure programming for admins
Like a poison apple, a Web program that is tasty on the surface may contain a highly dangerous core. Admins who do their own programming need to follow secure programming practices to avoid the bitter taste of insecurity.
This article describes some special kinds of program input that administrators who maintain Websites often contend with. I'll present case studies that take a close look at problems and solutions related to cross-site scripting, malicious email addresses, and buffer overflows. If there is a theme to this discussion, it is that developers need to carefully validate all input and the relationships between various items of input. Assume all input is guilty until proven innocent. And the more complex this input is, the more important it is to code carefully to anticipate the actions of would-be intruders.
