Ouray, Colorado offers a variety of great things to do during the day, from hiking to shopping, to soaking in the mineral hot springs, and some wonderful dining options in the evening. Often though, there is the lingering question of what to do after dinner if you are so inclined. Many times, we are asked where the locals go, and what kind of night life there is to be found. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, there is one spot here in Ouray that hasn't changed in over twenty five years, and will hopefully stay around for another twenty five years!
The Silver Eagle Saloon is a great place to enjoy a drink and relax. This is a BAR not a restaurant, they do not serve food in fact they do not even have a kitchen. If you want to experience what it is like to chill in an old school saloon this is the place for you. You can still smoke in there, so any non smokers that have a problem with that may want to find another place to have a drink. They do not allow anyone under 21 to enter at anytime. This wonderful throw back bar is open 7 nights a week year round and usually open until 2am.
Southwest Colorado is beginning to awaken from its long winters nap. Spring threatens at least a couple of times a week, bringing warm weather and the first blossoms are beginning to bud.
The townsfolk themselves are also stirring with a blend of festivals and frivolity, in anticipation of the summer months.
May is a perfect time to visit the area; still quiet enough so travelers can enjoy a peaceful escape, but with warm sunny days begging to be explored and enjoyed til the very last bit of sun shines.

Come enjoy an evening of great music and entertainment at the Wright Opera House!
Ouray County boasts a variety of exciting and fun events throughout the year, and this year is starting off with a bang!
The Wright Opera House, located in Ouray, has teamed up with the Sherbino Theater in Ridgway, Colorado, to bring the Jeff Solon Jazz Trio to Ouray County this April 13, 2014 at 7:30pm in Ridgway!
The Wright Opera House has worked to bring music to Ouray County for the past few years, parenting the Wrighteous Jazz Series, which brings musicians from all over to the historic venue in Southwest Colorado.
The Sherbino Theater has also made it their goal to share a love of the arts in an historic setting that virtually sings by itself.
As these two venues work ever harder to not only present performances that are memorable, they also work to continuously improve the buildings themselves, restoring them to the splendor they once were in the days of the railroad and mining prosperity in the west.
For the past couple of months, with work on the Wright Opera House in full swing, the two venues have joined forces to keep the music alive!
Based out of Durango, Colorado, a scenic drive over the Million Dollar Highway, Jeff Solon travels the west, sharing his talent and love of jazz wherever he lands!
He has performed on mountaintops and in concert halls - mesmerizing music lovers whether they are new to the genre, or jazz is their first love.
Regardless of personal preferences, talented artists such Jeff Solon and his associates seem to infect others with their own passion for the song, and the experience creates a memory not soon forgotten.
Jeff performs both as a solo artist and in groups based on the interests of the venue.
The performance at the Sherbino in April will feature Jeff Solon himself, complimented by renowned bass guitarist Elizabeth Riordan and classical pianist Jack Maynes.
Elizabeth Riordan has performed around the world. After a near fatal car accident, her passion for Jazz and the bass was increased tenfold, as demonstrated with her determination to not only overcome but to outdo herself as an artist. Since moving to Southwest Colorado, elizabeth has worked primarily with Jeff to create a sound and mood that emphasize their profound love of jazz.
Since he was a child, Jack Maynes has had a powerful love of music and the classical piano. After having completed his degree in 2011, Jack has travelled the Southwest, sharing his love of music in a variety of genres, always bringing his own special combination of sensitivity and passion to the music.
The first show in the upcoming series, the Jeff Solon Jazz Trio is the perfect appetizer to a summer of spectacular shows.
Let the staff at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs help you to plan the perfect getaway and concert experience. Always avid supporters of the arts, we are genuinely excited to share this next season of musical expression with our guests.
With our all natural mineral hot spring tubs tiered on the hillside in the courtyard, The Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs is like an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city.
For the past several years, The Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs has worked diligently to make the lodge what it is today, earning a four key rating from Green Key, a well know eco-rating program. With a passion for reducing a carbon foot print, we have made improvement upon improvement to the property, many of which we wouldn't even notice if we didn't know about them!
Two years ago, new windows were installed in every room to conserve both heat in the winter, and to keep the rooms cooler in the summer months. New doors were also installed for the same reasons.
Our new key card system implements recyclable key cards. These are not the magnetic key cards that de code if they get too close to your cel phone, but a sturdier type of key that can be reprogrammed again and again, while still providing a new level of security to our guests.
As often as possible, we stay away from strong cleaners that are known to be hurtful to the environment, while still maintaning an exemplary reputation for our clean rooms.
As strong supporters of community and supporting local businesses, as many products as possible are purchased locally. Even down to the new soap dispensers in the rooms, Colorado products are prevalent.
Serving muffins baked by a local caterer, and roasting our own coffee, which is served both in the lobby and in the rooms, we focus on the marvelous talents of the area to compliment the hotel.
The Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs is proud to use geothermal heat exchangers.
The source of our hot springs is located above the tubs in a securely fenced off area as it comes out of the ground at about 140*. We pump the water straight from the earth and use that hot water to heat our tap water. We also use the heat from the mineral hot springs to warm all of the rooms on the property!
Often, even if the heat is turned off in your room, warmth will emanate from the panels; a side effect of the geothermal hot water heating system. It's actually not unusual to have to open a window when the geothermal is in full gear!
Recycling bins are in every room, and our housekeeping staff, as vigilant about being green as they are about a meticulously clean room, has been know to pull recyclable items from the trash and place in the appropriate containers.
From energy efficient washers, to geothermal heat; recycling bins and local vendors, the Box Canyon Lodge continuously works to protect our environment.
There are a variety of things our guests can do as well to help us on this mission, and we are always happy to hear your feedback and suggestions on ways we can further the cause.
April 22, Earth Day, we want to reward those guests who have gone the extra "mile". Every Earth Day, we offer a 50% discount on your stay if you come see us in your hybrid car. Just let the front desk agent know when you check in, and she will apply the discount for you!
Every day it is important to remember to take care of our planet, which is why we also offer a 15% discount for guests with a hybrid vehicle any other day of the year!
Come share our passion! Enjoy the natural serenity of our mineral hot spring tubs. Surround yourself in the majestic beauty of the San Juan Mountains as you relax away the day to day!
See You Soon!
Since 1994, the Second Chance Humane Society has worked in Ouray, Montrose and San Miguel Counties to provide a safe refuge for lost and displaced pets.
With strong community support, they have grown from a small group of volunteers offering foster services, to a new facility able to provide shelter to a large number of pets as they wait to find their forever homes.
In October, 2011, the Second Chance opened a new Animal Resource Center at Angel Ridge Ranch, a 52 acre property located just outside of Ridgway. Here, they are able to provide care to more animals, as well as a broader scope of educational opportunities to the communities they serve. Currently, they are in the process of building a new dog facility that will accommodate almost twice as many rescues!
It is with the goal of finishing the new dog facility on time that Second Chance is presenting its 7th Annual Wine & Whiskers Carnival.
Community donations and interest are the bread and butter (or Kibbles & Bits) of the organization. Without the generosity of the areas it serves, Second Chance would not be able to consistently maintain its exceptional record of rescuing and caring for dogs and cats. In 2013, they were able to place 244 dogs and cats into new forever homes, while successfully reuniting 82 pets with their lost owners!
This year is the second in which the Wine & Whiskers will be held on two separate days in March.
Thursday March 20th from 6:30 – 8:30 PM is the Opening Night Mixer geared toward those who are most interested in seeing the fashion & dance show. The performance combines fashion (straight from the Second Chance Thrift Shop), dance, and music for a high energy performance best described as "Attitude at Altitude". Although there will be a small silent auction prior to the show on Thursday the focus will be on the roof-raising show.
Saturday March 22nd (5:30 – 11:30 PM) will remain the Gala Event: the fun packed bursting at the seams evening includes the delectable catered fare, well stocked silent auction, lively live auction, the famous fashion & dance show, concluding with a dance party!
Offering decadent food with a Louisiana Flare prepared by Chef Sid of Cavallo's Restaurant, music and mountains of fun, this is an event to mark on your calendars!
Tickets will be limited for both evenings to assure that all have a seat this year - so get your tickets today! They are $15 in advance for Thursday night ($20 at the door) and $40 in advance ($45/door) for Saturday night. They are on sale now on our secure website or shortly at the Second Chance Thrift Shop in Ridgway.
Get an early start on Thursday, and enjoy an evening at the Ouray County 4-H Event Center; enjoy a fashion show unlike any other, as local models sport ensembles straight from the Second Chance Thrift Shop!
On Friday, take the day to enjoy the splendor of the San Juans. Scenic Drives, frozen waterfalls and a plethora of outdoor activities abound between enjoying fabulous food and shopping on Ourays Main Street.
Saturday have your dancing shoes on, and be prepared to bid on some awesome items! Available auction items for bidding typically include golf, balloon, horse, sleigh, and bike adventure packages, a variety of wonderful art pieces, restaurant and get away packages, and hundreds more quality items and gift certificates from regional generous merchants, restaurants, artists, and service providers.

The group performs 2 big shows each year, one in May and one in December. They have done everything from the traditional Nutcracker to Natasha's own version of Wizard of Oz, a tribute to The Beatles, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Peter Pan. There is also a smaller group of committed dancers in the Weehawken Company that put on 2 smaller shows each year. For the Company performances each member has to choreograph one of their own dances. This last year instead of the Nutcracker they did Polar Express. http://www.weehawkenarts.org/
Ouray has a quilters guild that produces some amazing quilts each year. Every September the Ouray County Museum does a quilt show to show off old quilts. There is a raffle of one of the Guild's quilts. The drawing takes place at the Quilter's Tea which ends the month long show.

When the Ridgway Creative District and Weehawken Creative Arts joined forces to develop the first Moonwalk, the question of whether this would become a monthly adventure was an unspoken one. Now, with over twelve full moons successfully explored, it seems the Ridgway Moonwalk is here to stay.
And why not? In 2012, the Ridgway Creative District was formed of a group pf volunteers working toward goals set forth by Governor Hickenlloper for economic development; the goal was to grow and nurture creative industries in our community.
With so very many talented artists in the area, it is not hard to believe in the success of their efforts. The monthly moon walk, which focuses on a specific form of creativity every month, not only allows one to explore many different artists, but also the shops and restaurants of the area.
The group gathers in the early evening, then travels from one spot to another, viewing artists works, while warming up from the walk in shops along the way.
This month, on January 17, 2014, the focus is on creative businesses in the Industrial District of Ridgway.
The Exotic Earth Coffee Roasters is a prime example of ingenuity and expression. Participants will gather at 602 N Cora St, where in addition to viewing the works of local artist and crafter Joyce Withrow, they will be able to explore the intricacies of coffee roasting, an art for in and of itself.
Everyone knows that when the sun goes down in Southwest Colorado, it gets cold quickly, so this walkable event makes a point of keeping everything very close.

Of course, there will likely be work exhibited by a variety of artists as participants explore the many displays in each of the shops.
Every month, the Moonwalk will focus on a variety of expressions, always a pleasant interlude into what makes this small community such an interesting and diverse place to visit.

Every town large and small has their own holiday traditions, and each has its own unique story of beginning. Here in Ouray we have a wonderful tradition of going to Vinegar Hill to go sledding as children and later as adults we will take our own children there to sled on Christmas day. You may ask why this particular sled hill is named Vinegar Hill? Well the name goes all the way back to the very first Christmas ever celebrated here in Ouray in 1875.
In 1875 the town of Ouray was yet to officially exist, this valley was still Ute Indian land with only a small handful of white men just starting to settle here. These first men were here to prospect, mine and start a small settlement that would later be named Ouray in honor of the Ute Chief Ouray.
In December 1875 when winter was just beginning the 13 men and no women that lived here gathered together in a cabin for a simple dinner consisting of bread, bacon, and beans. The men, finding that none of the traditional spirits were on hand and the closest place to find any liquor or wine was in Silverton, decided to doctor the one fluid that they had to drink, Vinegar!
Thus with a simple meal toasted with a glass of vinegar the first Christmas was celebrated and the location was named for that one drink, retaining that name to this very day. Not only was Vinegar Hill christened with that meal but a town was born, first named Lexington then changed to Uncompahgre City and eventually becoming the city of Ouray.
Now days Vinegar Hill still has a place in our Christmas traditions…..whether you spend the day sledding down it with your friends and family or just enjoy watching all the fun. Should you be in need of a sled to use for your day of fun check out Ouray Mountain Sports. And please try to remember this special place and its unique history in our beautiful little spot of the world.

Frack Free activists near goal in petition drive to ban fracking in Youngstown
Staff report
Frack Free Mahoning Valley organizers say they are close to gathering enough signatures to land a referendum question on the May 7 primary ballot asking voters to ban natural gas drilling in the city.
As theWednesday deadline nears, local business leaders and the oil and gas industry are paying close attention, and a fight to stave off a charter amendment could be shaping up, opening a telling window into how two sides of the fracking debate are interacting in the early stages of the Utica-Point Pleasant shale play.
In October, the city council approved legislation to allow the city to solicit offers from companies to lease city owned land for gas and oil drilling. At the time, activists said they would conduct a petition drive aimed at curbing that activity.
Read the full story Monday in The Vindicator and on Vindy.com.
Leave it to the braindrained City of Youngstown protestors to protest a God send to their wasteland of a City.
Not to worry, the industry and the rural and suburban members of the community are not even going to allow these socialist to move. Not to mention the State has full jurisdiction on energy matters, it is a state issue.
Also, the hypocrites! V&M Star is pumping millions into Youngstown and creating jobs. YSU needs to retire Biersdorfer and her hippie husband too. They both are an embarrasment to the University.
I'm going to start an organization called
"Free of Frac Freers"
We're going to have a lot of fun.
You got your supranatural forces wrong, uticashale cheerleader. God doesn't destroy her creation with earthquakes, polluted groundwater, depleted fresh water, carcinogenic chemicals, etc ad nauseum. That is the dirty work of Mephisto and his prostituted agents, like you, whose speciality it is to shut out the truth and shut up truth-bearers, like the Biersdorfers, among the only YSU profs with a spine as well as a heart and brain.
I wounder if Hagen's heros would even have the support if he was allowed to run again in 2014. Watch out all you little lambs. He will leave you once the big oil companies that have a nickle in this, offer him a good job. Once he is working for the big oil companies he will know your agenda inside out and what it will take to quell the resistance.
They are depleted and contaminating all our resources here. Probably make billions in profits shipping the natural gas overseas. Then when the land and water is polluted enough they will pay around 1/2 or 1 percent of their profits in fines and move on. While we are left with billions in cleanup costs. they are going to laugh all the way to the bank.
On the bright side real estate will be cheap.
Cambridge my brotha, wassup? I see you now have this colorful picture next to your name, how much energy juice does that suck up? Yeah baby, I told you to keep posting man so that we can keep drilling. Funny how you and the anti energy losers are getting it now. We exist because you need us, want us, you are the reason we are here in the matrix.
So how much heat and natural gas are you sucking up this winter? Have you driven that oil combustion engine car of yours alot this month? Oh! I was looking up CNG vehicles, you know to be cleaner and cheaper on the environment, I notice you energy users in Calif have a lot of these CNG cars, why don't you help the environment and send us primitive oil users some.
The only "free" zone we need is a zone free of left-wing hypocrites. These are people doing very well by the system and I don't notice many of them on foot, riding bicyles, living in tents, or, for that matter, living the Vegan Lifestyle most of them like to prattle about.
All that, the amenities of modern life, are dependant on the Industrial Society, they incessantly disparage (unfairly, because where they can't find evidence to support their case- as in the case of hydraulic fracturing: a technique used safely for 60 years- they make it up).
If they want to stop being hypocrites- then give it up- go out into the woods, live in a tent, eat Tofu and Beansprouts- and leave the rest of us alone.

re: "They are depleting and contaminating, etc"
Your post reads just like a sermon from an old-fashioned "Bible Thumper" inveighing against the Devil. Full of Sound and Fury- but logic and supporting evidence- well, who needs that, everybody knows the Devil is bad, right?
I've known for a long time that the left-wing-especially the Environmental Movement- represented a kind of secular religion immune to argument. Their mind is made up and, by jingo, that's all there is to it.
Look at the study done by the EPA fracking contaminates ground water they just one say how often 1 in 1000000 or 1 in 10.

I brought my 06 Sea Doo in that wasn\'t running, they found a tiny wire corrosion that was causing the problem and saved me from an extremely costly repair of replacing the wire harness. Highly recommend, extremely knowledgable and helpfull service department.
Got a new Ski Doo 2 weeks ago, and went to Canada and put 1000 miles on it already, everything was great from the sales and finance to the service. They installed everything on the sled and it came out great. Thanks again!

So my fiance and I are both applying for our CCW permit and shopping around for pistols. I've already bought the M&P9c for myself and of course, she really likes it also. Not that I'd have a problem with getting her one as well, but this gives me the opportunity to get something different for myself if needed.
I've been shopping for holsters and the one that has attracted most of my attention is the 3 speed holster, which is appendix carry. So I got to thinking about it and the M&P has no safety at all. I have quite a bit of experience with an M9 when I was enlisted but we exclusively used leg holsters, although I never once even came close to an accidental discharge.
So now that I'll more than likely be pointing the barrel at a very important part of my body (not to mention the femoral artery) i'm beginning to think that maybe the grip safety on the Springfield guns is a good thing. Just in case the belt buckle or shirt were to catch the trigger while re holstering or something..
What are your thoughts or opinions?

Fresh off winning his second MLS Cup championship, Robbie Rogers is in the middle of a book tour for his autobiography "Coming Out to Play."
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Rogers talks about his new book and about his experiences with the Galaxy. In particular, Rogers discusses about the importance of retired LA Galaxy star Landon Donovan to his career and to his career since coming out.
Rogers' tour returns to Southern California on Dec. 13 at CostCo in Los Angeles and Book Soup in West Hollywood on Dec. 15.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
LA Galaxy midfielder Robbie Rogers' memoirs entitled "Coming Out To Play" came on Tuesday and ahead of the release, Rogers spoke to NBC host Maria Shriver on the Today Show.
Check it out above.
Omar Gonzalez among three LA Galaxy players on yellow card watch heading into Seattle Sounders FC match
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are heading into their Western Conference Championship series with Seattle Sounders FC with a boatload of confidence after the way that they dispatched Real Salt Lake, but three players will need to be cautious heading into the first leg.
Landon Donovan, Robbie Rogers, and Omar Gonzalez are both on yellow card watch heading into Sunday's first leg. Should either of the three earn a caution from referee Kevin Stott, they will miss out on next week's second leg at CenturyLink Field. It bears mentioning, however, that no player can be suspended for MLS Cup based on yellow card accumulation.
While Donovan and Rogers are at risk, Gonzalez faces a particular challenge as he looks to avoid a yellow card and mark dynamic strikers Obafemi Martins and Clint Dempsey.
"I have to be very smart with how I defend and how aggressive I am," said Gonzalez. "But having said that, I have to leave it all on the field and not worry about the referees or about anything out of my control. I have to worry about how I show up, how I approach the game and how focused I am over 90 minutes."
LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers made American sports history a year ago when he became the first athlete in a major professional sport to come out as a gay man.
The announcement led to considerable scrutiny and media pressure in his difficult first season with the club, but now a year later, things have changed consdierably. Rogers has solidified himself as one of the top left backs in MLS and on Thursday, he was rewarded with a new multi-year contract extension by the Galaxy.
As his professional life has come together, Rogers' has personal life has flourished as well as the 27-year-old will be releasing his biography "Coming Out to Play." on Nov. 25. On Thursday, Rogers celebrated the book's release with a private event in West Hollywood.
"It was an amazing event and I'm so happy to see the support from everyone," Rogers said.
Photos of the event are below.
CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Rogers is staying with the LA Galaxy for the long run.
The Galaxy announced on Thursday that the team has signed Rogers to a new multi-year contract extension. Per club and league rules, the details of the contact were not released. After a frustrating 2013 season with the Galaxy, Rogers has found new life in 2014 as a left back, making 19 appearances and 15 starts for LA.
LA Galaxy issue warning to FC Dallas/Seattle Sounders FC series winner ahead of Western Conference Finals
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the fifth time in six years on Sunday with their 5-0 victory over Real Salt Lake, but their opponent in that series remains a mystery.
LA will play the winner of the FC Dallas/Seattle Sounders FC series which will be decided on Monday at CenturyLink Field. Seattle need only a victory or a scoreless draw to advance while FC Dallas must defeat the Supporters' Shield winners or earn a high scoring draw.
Both teams gave the Galaxy all they could handle in the regular season with LA winning the season series with Dallas 2-1-0 while splitting their three matches with Seattle 1-1-1. Given those records, is there a preference for the Galaxy as they seek to qualify for a third MLS Cup in four seasons?
Not at all.
"Between Seattle and Dallas, they gave us a lot of problems during the season so we'll watch the game very closely tomorrow," said hat trick hero Landon Donovan. "We'll be sure to get proper rest this week and we'll be ready to go."
Even though the Galaxy had struggled results wise with a four game winless streak prior to their explosion on Sunday, LA believe their clicking at the right time as they look to their next opponent.
"I know that we haven't had good results, but even against Seattle we had moments that were very good. We did break down at the end, but they sat back and defended against us in Seattle, which is weird," said Robbie Rogers. "We're confident in whomever we play be it Seattle or Dallas that we can compete.
"I think that anyone has to come into a stadium where the last team lost 5-0, they know it's going to be difficult, but it is the playoffs so anyone can win."
But Stefan Ishizaki, who shined in his start against Salt Lake, offered the tersest message to LA's future opponents.
"Watch out."
CARSON, Calif. – A year ago this week, the LA Galaxy saw their "Quest for Three" consecutive MLS Cups fall short against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. This Sunday, it will be Salt Lake traveling to StubHub Center with the chance to eliminate the Galaxy from the postseason and prevent them from being the "First to Five" MLS Cup titles.
Salt Lake simply need a draw in which goals are scored or a victory to end LA's postseason dreams while the Galaxy need a win or a penalty kick shootout victory to advance.
A year ago, it was the Galaxy who needed a win or a draw in which goals were scored to go through after winning the first leg at StubHub Center 1-0 on a Sean Franklin screamer from distance. However, in the windy Utah conditions, the Galaxy found themselves overmatched as the Claret-and-Cobalt found goals from Sebastian Velasquez and Chris Schuler to defeat LA after 120 minutes.
Although the Galaxy find themselves in a similar situation against Salt Lake, Robbie Keane believes LA are stronger than the team that crashed out of the playoffs a year ago.
"We're certainly in better position than last year in terms of the players that we have this year," said Keane. "We have more experienced players and the players that we had last year are a year old and a year better. In terms of that, we're good with the experience that we have."
Added Robbie Rogers, "It does feel different. We went on the road last year and I think that there is a little more excitement when you're in front of your home fans and while we were all up for it in Salt Lake, we know our record at home and what type of attractive soccer that we can play here. We just want to take them out of their comfort zone and show we can perform at home."
While Keane and Rogers admitted that the team feels different than the one that failed to advance, Marcelo Sarvas disagreed, but noted that LA's experience could tip the balance on Sunday.
"Every year is different and you can't compare teams because they have different players who are in different moments," said Sarvas. "But we have been through this before. We know how it is to play against Salt Lake…Now we're at our home and we're going to go for goals and go to win the game."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy defense has been riddled with injuries as of late, but according to head coach Bruce Arena, LA may welcome back one -- or possibly two -- member of their walking wounded back to the lineup during Sunday's game against FC Dallas.
Right back Dan Gargan missed out on Saturday's game due to a left ankle sprain while Robbie Rogers suffered a left hamstring injury that forced him from the early stages of the victory over Toronto. Both players took part in portions of the Galaxy's training session on Tuesday and according to Arena, both are working their way back onto the field.
"They're doing fine. Their issues are very much short term," said Arena who said that he anticipated that one of them to be ready on Sunday. "We'll have to go into the week and see. It's only Tuesday right now."
LA Galaxy defenders Robbie Rogers and Omar Gonzalez were named to MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week on Monday for their performance in the club's 2-1 victory over FC Dallas.
Rogers enjoyed a stellar evening along the left side -- and even garnered some U.S. National Team buzz from captain Robbie Keane -- while Gonzalez helped shutdown the FCD attack. Meanwhile, Robbie Keane was placed on the Team of the Week bench for his goal and assist against Dallas.
The complete team is below.
CARSON, Calif. –The LA Galaxy will be without defender Todd Dunivant for at least the next month.
The Galaxy's 33-year-old left back told reporters at training on Sunday that the he will be out for around six weeks with a left groin tear. Dunivant needed to be stretchered off the field in the 26th minute after suffering the injury during a collision with a Rapids attacker minutes earlier. The injury is the second long-term injury for Dunivant this season as he only recently returned from abdominal surgery that was needed to repair an abdominal tear suffered in April.
"I had the MRI yesterday. It was a pretty significant tear," said Dunivant on Sunday. "I can't walk straight. It sucks."
With Dunivant out, the Galaxy's outside back depth appears thin as veteran James Riley is only now returning from a left meniscus tear, and made his first gameday roster on Friday since suffering the injury in March. Meanwhile Robbie Rogers is continuing to deal with a left hamstring strain that forced him from the gameday squad against the Rapids.
"It's been bizarre in that outside back is where we've had the most trouble [with injuries]," said Landon Donovan. "Guys have stepped in and they've done a great job. It's been a bit a mish-mash of guys throughout the year, but through all of that, we still have the best defensive record in the league and we're still playing well defensively."
At training on Sunday, Rogers revealed that he will be traveling with the team to Montreal, but expects to only be limited to reserve duty against the Impact as he looks to return to full starting duty against the San Jose Earthquakes three days later.
For both Dunivant and Rogers, the injury-riddled 2014 campaign has been a frustrating one, but Rogers insists that the two will overcome—by any means necessary.
"Todd and I were saying that someone needs to walk the field with incense and use voodoo," Rogers joked. "For whatever reason this year, our [outside] defenders have had trouble with injuries, but that's just part of the job.
"We've been dealing with injuries all season to different guys, but the team has done a great job of stepping up," Rogers added. "Our team isn't just one player obviously."

Live action with computer animated effects. Budgeted in excess of 200 million dollars, and helmed by first-time director Robert Stromberg.
Originally announced as a project by Brad Bird in May of 2009. By January 2010, Tim Burton was rumored to be attached to the project. Later, David Yates was rumored to be directing the film. By January 6, 2012, Disney had announced that Robert Stromberg would direct the film.
In mid October 2013, writer/director John Lee Hancock was called in to do some rewrites for the opening sequences of the film. He is said to be on set while Robert Stromberg reshoots his rewrites, but he's nor directing. Producer Joe Roth insists, "The movie is gorgeous to look at and the last 75 minutes are really entertaining."

Rookie Hunter - Deer
I am a rookie hunter with both nystagmus - eye movement disorder (well controled though with sleep and surgery years ago) and must wear glasses even when looking through the scope. If I don't wear my glasses when raising my shotgun from a tree stand while deer hunting - I can loose the location of the dear in the background. I am a surveyor by trade and have done plenty of topo surveys in the woods so I know how to deal with this (glasses on glasses off - survey instrument eye piece is tiny compared to a scope).
Summary - being a rookie, and with some of the above factors I think the coyote/predator reticule might be better for me to hit the boiler room of a deer. I also tend to over think a sight picture and hesitate on the trigger. So maybe a cicle big enough at 50--100 yds for a shotgun is enough to hit vitals. Accuracy within a 9" circle at 50-100 yds & something quick to help me not over think with a shotgun slug/sabot is what I'm after.
The Nikon M223 one piece scope mount works great for normal range targets (100 to 200 yards) and is really easy to install. It has 2 cross bolts that secure the mount to the Picatinney rail. I've installed two and both times had no problem zeroing the scope. Once zeroed, no problems thereafter. Very secure mount.
The Nikon M223XR is designed for long range shooting (500 yards) but is a bit trickier to install as it has 3 pieces and 3 bolts that secure it to the Picatinney rail. I've installed four of these and on two of them had to take the mount off and re-install it to the Picatinney rail to get the scope to zero. Once zeroed, no more problems thereafter. Very secure mount.
If you are not mounting to an AR platform, any reputable scope bases and rings will work. I've used Weaver and Leupold on bolt actions, lever actions and pump actions and never had a problem with either. Weaver is cheaper and, in my experience, just as good as the more expensive bases and rings .
Does this scope come the lense shade?
Adjustment Knob Covers (Windage and Elevation)
Front and Rear Lens Covers
ARD Accessory (or redeemable voucher)
what is better for fov the number larger or smaller
Field of View = the diameter of the circle you can see through your scope at a given magnification at 100 yards.
So at 3 power your FOV might be 30 feet at 100 yards (you will see everything in a 30 foot circle - 15 feet to the left and 15 feet to the right of your crosshair). This works great for deer and other large targets.
At 10 power your FOV might be 3 feet at 100 yards (you will see everything in a 3 foot circle - 1.5 feet to the left and 1.5 feet to the right of your crosshair). Works great for ground hogs or small animals.
So the bottom line is the smaller the animal (or target) you desire to shoot the higher magnification you need and the smaller FOV you will get. For prairie dogs I like a 6 to 20 power scope so I can scan the field at 6X looking for targets then zoom in to 20X to shoot a prairie dog. At 6X I can scan a lot of territory quickly. At 20X one prairie dog fills the FOV making it easier to center the crosshairs on him.
Make sense?

Morning All
Right, I've been tasked with getting a selection of photography equipment for a new course we're going to be running in the school, and thought I know I can approach the like of Jessops, as I have done previously, and even my normal suppliers for the cameras, but just wondered if anyone has an suggestions for places.
Wish list from the Art Teacher is as follows:
- Digital SLR (Canon EOS 500 or 550 D + Speedlite Flash unit)
- 5 x Compact Digital Camera (Canon PowerShot SX210 IS)
- Memory cards - 4GB x 10 (one for each person doing the course)
- 1 Decent Full Function Tripod for the SLR
- 5 Smaller tripods for the CDCs
- Photoshop (6 x licence)
- Studio Flash setup with backdrop for posed shots to be photoshop'd
Also looking to get 5 x HP ProBooks and an A3 PhotoPrinter, but these I'm looking at through other places, though if anyone can recommend a one stop shop, it might also be easier for the whole package.
Thanks for any direction guys
Andy :)

Pirates of the Caribbean
Opened: December 15, 1973
Ride length: 8 minutes, 30 seconds
If you haven't heard about 'Pirates of the Caribbean', you've probably just arrived from another planet.
The imposing fortress at the end of Adventureland is home to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The queue twists and turns in a darkened, cool underground cavern that leads to the boat ride. After a close encounter with Davy Jones, you'll float through a cave that heads to a quick, dark plunge.
Blackbeard has replaced Davy Jones at the beginning of the ride temporarily.
As your boat enters the main area, you'll find yourself in the midst of a battle with cannon shots whizzing by. Captain Barbossa himself shouts orders from the pirate ship.
Be on the lookout for Captain Jack Sparrow. He'll pop up from a barrel, peek from behind a mannequin and at the conclusion of the ride, he's atop a mountain of booty.
This attraction is fun for all ages. While the original Audio-animatronics are a bit simplistic in comparison to the latest additions, the detail is amazing. There's realistic costuming, unique facial features and even hairy legs on the pirate swinging his leg from the bridge.
Listen and you'll hear a familiar song made even more popular by the movie- "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates' life for me."
Fortunately, while the ride purists initially objected to the planned changes, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have only made this attraction better. (Think of the movie version of The Country Bears and you see what a disaster it might have been.)
The Pirates of the Caribbean attraction is quick loading and each boat holds about 30 people.
Fastpass: Yes
Handicapped Accessibility: Guests in wheelchairs must be able to transfer to the ride vehicle.
Fun fact: There are two queue lines to choose from - Soldiers or Pirates.
- lothropk - "I have been coming to WDW since I was 2 (I am 26 now) and, without fail, I will always make time for Pirates. As a purist, I was upset with the update to add the characters from the movie into the ride, but I have to admit they did a near-perfect job in weaving Jack Sparrow into the already existing storyline. I cannot wait to come back and ride again!!"
- SamIAm21 - "I love Pirates of the Caribbean! It's a great story and you become immersed into the setting almost at once. The updates with Davy Jones and Capt. Jack bring another layer of the story to the attraction. It's a must-see for anyone visiting WDW."

Syrian prison in Aleppo shelled
|In this Wednesday, July 3, 2013 citizen journalism image provided by Lens Young Homsi, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, shows Syrians inspecting the rubble of damaged buildings due to government airstrike and shelling, in the al-Hamidiyyeh neighborhood of Homs province, Syria. Gunfire echoed and tank shells slammed in Homs Friday in what activists and residents described as one of the worst barrages on the central city in a furious attempt to recapture opposition-held districts in the country's strategic heartland. The U.N. warns of a humanitarian catastrophe involving up to 4,000 civilians trapped in city amid severe shortages of food, water and medicine. (AP Photo/Lens Young Homsi)
Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) — Shells smashed into a central prison in the embattled Syrian city of Aleppo, killing prisoners, a rights group said Sunday, part of a long battle for control of the ancient city.

Following up on Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine's delaration of Friday as a statewide day of mourning, Gov. Eliot Spitzer asked New Yorkers to observe a moment of silence at noon Friday, and for a tolling of municipal and church bells.
Following up on Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine's delaration of Friday as a statewide day of mourning, Gov. Eliot Spitzer asked New Yorkers to observe a moment of silence at noon Friday, and for a tolling of municipal and church bells.
Class!!! ….. If the Governors were gops tomorrow would be a halliburton sponsored nra and anti-asian-immigration rally.
Do I get time off for this?
With all due respect to those affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech…
President Ford's ghost contacted our paranormal point-of-presence and wants to know when Spitzer will find it fit that he be honored by some similar token tolling.
Rebound soon Va Tech…we ar all rooting for you!!
Not to knock the Virginia Tech tragedy, but what about the 172 people that died in Iraq yesterday http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=582125&category=IRAQ&BCCode=IRQE&newsdate=4/19/2007
this story didn't even make the front page of today's t.u.
i'm sorry, but spitzer didn't do a thing for Ford, and this just seems like he's trying to come off as a compassionate person.

SmokinJoe commenting on class is like Bill Clinton commenting on fidelity!
Class = Smokinjoe.
Interesting selective memory smokinjoe.
With respect to guns in Virginia, I'd refer interested bloggers to http://www.metroland.net/letters.html. Col. Carl Baker, who is mentioned in the letter, was the recipient of a poem about his efforts to pry Virginians from their handguns. Under the circumstances, however, I'll save it for another time.
Olbermann had a great piece last night highlighting some of the awesome true hero stories that have come out of VT so far.
As more comes out, an expanded/updated final version of that would be a nice tribute/gift to the victim's families, friends and classmates!
Hey Terry, nice letter in Metroland this week. Good to see a capital confidential name out there!
Sorry for the late post on this topic.
I think that the passing of a well-liked former President of natural causes in his old age, in no way rises to the level of the tragedy at Virginia Tech, where 32 people were murdered "in cold blood" and countless others wounded or terrified beyond anyone's comprehension.
At least one of the dead was a student from New York. Even if that were not the case, I find the Governor's request for a modest moment of silence and tolling of the bells is an appropriate way to remember those lost and maimed by this tragedy.
Regarding the public address speakers that came on the agency buidlings at 12 noon telling workers to take a moment of silence, I thought it was inappropriate, grade-schoolish and merely something to burnish Spitzer's image.
Now don't get me wrong. I fell for the parents who lost loved one, including the family of the shooter. But everyone has read tons of news about the shooting and has had ample opportunity to say prayers for dead, if they so choose. Everyone also knew from the news that a moment of silence was being asked to be observed in memory of the shooting victims and folks were free to join in at 12 noon, if they so choose. I would have anyway. Without prompting from the State of New York.
But it seems totally inappropriate for the state police to come on the PA system and tell everyone that the Governor WANTS them to take a moment of silence. I felt like I was back in homeroom. Spitzer needs to quit telling people what to do when it's not his place to be handing out orders. The more or less "required" moment of silence is but one example.
