Timber production"Small-scale" forestry in WisconsinContinued forest parcelization creates significant barriers to forest landowners seeking to manage their forests for ecological and economic benefit. Such parcelization also hampers the ability of public agencies to provide technical assistance and education to landowners. In this research and extension project, we define and categorize small-scale forest ownerships through an analysis of practice data.
Younger generations not interested in timber (Green Bay Press Gazette)On July 6, The Green Bay Press Gazette had an article on the next generation of woods- and mill workers and industry forester (or lack thereof). The article is at this link. Among those quoted was my colleague, Scott Bowe.
The vanishing middle-skilled job sector (WI State Jounal)In this morning's Wisconsin State Journal, the regular UWEX feature, "Econ Quiz", reported on 2013 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City on the "middle-skilled job sector." Between 1983 and 2012, the number of jobs classified as middle-skilled nationwide dropped from 59% to 45%.
Blogging Logging 12 - Timber products and buyersWisconsin's logging businesses produce a diverse array of forest products, but hardwood pulp has been the largest portion of the volume harvested: 44% in 2003 and 49% in 2010. This dominance reflects continued demand from the region's substantial pulp and paper industry and an abundant hardwood forest resource. Though Perry (2011) indicated a negative percent change in the volume of aspen on forestland from 2005 to 2010, one of the primary species utilized in the pulp and paper industry. Softwood pulp accounted for around a quarter of volume removed from the la
Blogging Logging 11 - Source of timber supplyVarious landownership categories contribute to the state's timber supply. Where a logging business is located has a big impact on which types of lands they harvest from. However, other factors also figure into the decision, including the different expectations that landowners have for loggers (e.g., certified land can have more requirements, but fill an important market niche). In reporting the landownership categories from which loggers harvest timber, we weight all findings by their volume harvested in 2003 and 2010 (as appropriate).
Blogging Logging 10 - Timber salesThe number and size of timber sales are important measures for understanding both the economics of logging and the effects of harvesting on ecological outcomes such as fragmentation. Economically, smaller timber sales result in higher costs as loggers must move equipment more frequently and spend more time on procuring timber. Ecologically, harvesting operations create new "patches" in the landscape that will have a different age and habitat characteristics compared to the surrounding forests.
Wisconsin logger study results: comparing then and nowLoggers are the critical link between forests and wood markets. They are also key actors in implementing sustainable forestry. Their actions drive a multi-billion dollar industry that is the backbone of local communities across Wisconsin. The economic downturn has been tough on markets and mills. At the same time, costs continue to rise for equipment, stumpage, and just about everything else. Loggers across the state and nation have felt this trend. Wisconsin's logging sector entered the recession under considerable strain.
Wisconsin forestry tops nation in jobs and shipmentsClick here for press release from Governor's office. This is an old press release (August), but one I had trouble finding initially. Luckily, the DNR posted it as part of their Wisconsin Forestry Notes, distributed by e-mail. (See here for subscription information.) I've looked on AF&PA's website for the report with the data, but have not found it.

"I am honored to be recognized amongst the best of the best in the industry," said Cambra, who attributes her success to working with an amazing organization such as Outrigger as well as a diverse background of properties, brands and geographic locations.

Duke Nukem 2 Review
There's no denying that Duke Nuke is a colossal figure in gaming's shared cultural memory. Sure, some of his games might not have been the best and they were always controversial for one reason or another, but Duke is an icon who many older gamers remember quite fondly. And now one of his earliest adventures, Duke Nukem 2, has been released on the App Store, set to bring nostalgia to some and a taste of history to newcomers. But should we still hail to the king? Or is this classic better left hidden away in the annals of history?
Duke Nukem 2 was first released in 1993 on PCs running MS-DOS, so that should already give you an idea for what this game is like if you've never played it. You take control of Duke Nukem and all of the badassitude he brings to the table as he makes his way through four episodes of side-scrolling mayhem.
Each episode consists of about eight levels that will have you running, gunning, jumping, climbing, and collecting your way to victory. Enemies are a-plenty in the game, but Dukes a certified BAMF, so he has access to all manner of weaponry that will help destroy his foes.
Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it is! It's a side-scrolling action game from the early '90s, so you're not going to get a ton of depth. What you will get, however, is a challenging run through 32 levels of retro carnage. There's nothing in the way of skill trees, character customization options, weapon upgrades, or anything else to slow you down. Nope, it's just you, Duke, his many power-ups, and a buttload of bad guys on themed stages with simple objectives to complete, such as destroying radar dishes, grabbing keys and keycards to progress, and destroying aliens.
There's not much more to it than that, folks. So let's take a look at how this simple package is presented, shall we? Both the iPhone and iPad versions have this weird border/overlay that makes it appear as if you are playing the game on a monitor, with the big Duke Nukem 2 logo hanging up above the screen and in the middle.
Immediately, I knew that this would be annoying, because the game gives you messages that scroll at the top of the screen, but most of the text ends up being covered up by the overlay. While this doesn't break the experience, it certainly seems like a weird design choice to obscure our view of the entire screen.
But it's not like we're in for a visual masterpiece, so I guess that's not too bad. The game boasts 256-color VGA graphics, so while it was impressive at the time, the visuals have definitely not aged very well. Still, it's very cool to shoot up aliens and see their parts go flying everywhere in an explosion of green flesh. Gotta love early '90s video game gore.
The soundtrack fares a little better and provides some rockin' tunes to which you can send your enemies to their respective makers. You've got some driving hard rock that fits the tone for Duke's rampage and it's a pleasure to listen to while you run around and turn enemies into wee little particles.
But the controls are where I find myself having the biggest gripes, since you're only given two virtual buttons to use. One is a virtual thumbstick or directional pad (which you can move around in the settings), and a Fire button. To jump, you have to press anywhere in the middle of the screen. Maybe it was too much trouble to add a dedicated jump button, but it's something I would have liked, since my thumb only serves to obscure my view even more.
The worst part is that the Fire button only registered my presses about 75% of the time. The other 25% resulted in me getting thwacked in the face by an android or an alien. It was pretty annoying.
All in all, Duke Nukem 2 isn't a bad game; it's just not a good game. It doesn't have the legendary status of Duke Nukem 3D, so playing this, even with nostalgia goggles on, just makes you groan at how dated the gameplay is and wish for something better. It's only $1.99, but that's still a little bit high for what's basically a novelty. Unless you're a huge Duke Nukem fan, you can go ahead and skip this. Duke may be the king, but this release makes me wish he'd abdicate.

If you really like fresh and crusty bread, then I have just the thing for you. I have seen this recipe popping up on some random food blogs and I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. It is surprisingly easy to make and so I won't have any steps pictures for this. All you need is cast iron pot with a lid and you can make outstanding bread in no time, well the process is not that fast though but the result is simply amazing. I have been baked bread for some time now and this is by far the best approach for the novice baker and it will definitely beat everything that comes out from your bread machine, both taste and texture.
Anyway start by getting your dough ready as you do for any other bread, simply mix the flour, salt and yeast together and then add the water. Mix using a wooden spoon or spatula until it's all incorporated, no need to over mix, it will look like a sticky mess. Cover up the bowl, let it rest outside on the counter for 12 to 18 hours. Sorry no bread for you the first day also make sure you don't refrigerate either.
After so many hours the dough will rise and dough will become more consistent. Fire up your oven to 450° F / 230° C and preheat your cast iron too for a little bit. When the pot is hot get a lot of flour on your hands and shape your dough into a ball, then drop it into the pot. Put the lid on and bake for 30 minutes then remove the lid and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until it is nice and golden brown. If you want to go nuts and add herbs and other things to your dough you can definitely do so.
Now I made this bread several times and there is nothing that can go wrong. If yours does not look like my pictures in the end you need to give up baking…
Here's another one …
…and check this out!
[pureHTML ID=40]
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp active dry yeast
- 1½ cups water (room temperature)

Noxzema Original Skin Cream
Average Rating 3.8/5 |
Review by Katras
(Review for generic brand: Walgreens Studio 35 Beauty)
When my brothers and I were kids and get sunburns, which was de rigueur, my mother would slather this stuff on us and within hours our sunburns had cooled and any peeling was dramatically minimized or halted. Fast forward many years later, my face was breaking out due to Idaho's hard water and I wanted something cheap, effective and something I could use with or without water. Enter this cleanser. I apply it every night, onto a dry face, making sure to work it into the areas with slightly more makeup (chin, nose and any areas with a blemish; not eye makeup). I then proceed to brush my teeth, letting the cleanser do its thing and clear my sinuses while it's at it (hello eye opening eucalyptus scent!) and then wipe it away with a dry face towel and finish with my toner. My face is left clean and soft , with no dryness in sight and the only time I get a blemish is when "it's that time of the month" and any blemish that does appear is quickly minimized. I do believe the hunt is over for a Summer cleanser.2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No

Growing Pains: How to approach gearing up your tank {WoW}
Jan 31st 2010 11:42PM No. When you sign up for a role in the LFD, that is your role. You roll on your roles gear. If a tank rolled on DPS gear, the DPS would go batship. Extend the same curtesy to us - we're tanking the instance for you, let us roll on the gear that helps make it better.
90% of the retard DPS rolling on tank gear pull mobs, don't DPS skull, and scream at the healer like the tards they are, do 800 DPS, and cry about the speed of an instance when they haven't been out of combat all run.
Roll on the gear you need for your role, don't be a retard and roll on the tanks gear unless the tank has said you could.
That just takes you to a tanks ignore list, have fun with the longer queues.
Breakfast Topic: In-Jokes {WoW}
Jan 23rd 2010 8:53PM Well, among my friend on this server, we have the "buns, using your trusty lance?", every time they see I'm in a raid, or I'm raiding with them.
See, we pugged NAXX25 a while ago, and I died on Maxenna. I get a brez, half my gear is broken. So, in order to contrubute some DPS, I stick my lance on and keep DPS'ing the boss.
Then the other tank dies, and I have to pick up the boss. We down her, thanks to me spamming fixates, and someone pops up with -
"Hey buns was using a lance"..
needless to say, I have never lived it down. T_T.
Officers' Quarters: Courtesy counts {WoW}
Jan 11th 2010 8:48PM Hmm.
I've done what Bob did - a simple 'goodbye, fun year and a half with you guys', then /gquit, mostly for reasons involving a hostile officer clique, most of my friends having gone, and nasty new recruits who also happened to be complete scrubs.
Why? Didn't want to cause drama - which the GM went ahead and caused anyway, as my new GM in the guild I joined up with was falsely informed that I was a ninja. I was later informed, by another ex-guildie that is still a friend that some dodgy things had been going on within the guild involving the female GM and some of the officers. I have also been subject to heckling from officers of this guild that I left.
Bob may have simply left because he didn't want to cause drama - the officer did not help by posting a remark in trade channel.

If this topic has been addressed before, I apologize.
I'm more than a little devastated today. We don't have a huge back yard, but right in the middle of it is a 100 year old, GIGANTIC Maple. It shades our entire backyard. Because of this amazing tree, we've been lucky to plant a large variety of gorgeous Hostas. The Hostas border along all three sides of our privacy fence and along the back of our home. We just found out that the tree is diseased and has to come down. It is the only tree we have. :((( Our Hostas will now be in full sun all day. The only Hostas that aren't directly shaded by that tree are the ones planted along the house. The house shades them all day. How will our Hostas fare? Is there a way to care for them in order to keep them ? Is there ANYTHING we can do? The thought of losing them to the sun after 'collecting' them for 20 years is breaking my heart. Thanks in advance for any help or advice !! Echo |

How far north are you? Zone and latitude. Firstly, they won't die, but likely the first year they will all burn mid-summer. They won't be used to the amount of sun they are getting. Secondly, many on this forum grow Hosta in full sun (6 hours of direct sun or more). However, you have to be far enough North to do this. The link below is to Don_r's garden. He is in Michigan and grows a lot of his Hosta in full sun. Thirdly, are you planning to replace the tree? If so I would recommend you buy the largest Oak you can afford. You may be surprised at how well your Hostas grow when released from the invasive tyranny of Maple roots. Steve |
Here is a link that might be useful: Don_r's Garden
Thanks so much, Steve. I am so worried that they'll die. We must be close to Don...we're in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I had to look up our latitude. 44.51. Will watering them and keeping their 'feet' cool help in any way to keep them from burning ? Or should we just let nature run it's course and hope for the best ? The tree is coming down today and we've asked them to do an extensive stump/root removal. We're hoping with the root removal, the Hostas will, in fact, grow better. Some stay quite small and we've always suspected that the trees roots were part of the problem. With that in mind (and because I don't have 40 years to wait for a tree to fully grow LOL) we're opting to not replace it. Just yet. We're going to live with the void for awhile before deciding on another tree or a fire pit in it's place. Our Arborist made the same recommendation you did...to go to a GOOD nursery and invest in the largest root ball Oak we can afford and have a cherry picker bring it in. We'll see... Thanks again for reassuring me. I feel a little better. :D |
Hi Chandla, I grow about 200 varieties of hostas in full sun. I live about 30 miles south of Don R. The only one that won't grow for me in the sun is Sum of All. I took out a maple tree this winter since it's roots cause more problems than the sun. When it's really hot, I spray mine with mists of water to keep them cool. If you find that some of your hostas are really failing in the sun, dig them up and see if it's roots are tangled up with maple roots. If so, rinse the roots off and replant. You'll find the ones that are tangled with maple tree roots will require tons of water when the sun is shining on them. I pulled out a very small Moonstruck last week. The amount of maple tree roots trangled up in it was larger than the entire hosta. Since your tree will no longer be producing roots and sucking up the water, your larger hostas may not have to be de-rooted. Give me the sun anyday over maple tree roots! Gesila |

I moved about 25 hosta to full sun last spring. This spring, they're all doing just fine. I have another area that's full sun in midday, they're all fine. HOWEVER, they definitely require more water. If you take the tree down yet this year, the hostas will go crispy really fast and you'll probably think they're dead. They're not. They're shocked. I'm in the Twin Cities, just a bit south of you at 44.42. If you want to minimize your crispiness, take the tree out after your hosta have gone dormant. Best yet... do it at the end of winter when the ground is still frozen and it's less likely that the tree dudes will damage anything planted around the maple. |
Thanks for the great information, Melissa ! I wish we could have kept the tree up, but the trunk was badly split and we feared that any strong wind was going to bring it down and hurt someone. So...it's gone. I've been crying since yesterday. I'm a sap. LOL I appreciate you're telling me that crispy leaves don't mean they're dead. That really made me feel SO much better about this. Here's a weird question: Should I just cut them back now instead of waiting for the sun to burn them up? Or would that be even MORE stressful for them? My husband thought that if we cut them back and covered them with mulch they might be better off... |

How about building a lattice canopy or fabric covered canopy? Instant shade! Peggy |
How handy are you and/or your husband with a hammer (or hire a handyman). Here's an idea--see the link below. That guy built an arbor to provide shade for his hosta. You could build one on each side of the privacy fence. Doesn't need to cover the entire length of the fence, but would provide 3 specific areas where you could cluster your favorite hostas. (The hosta shadowed by the house can take care of themselves, I assume.) It can't take that long to build such an arbor, and I think it has a charming look in that posters hosta bed. Well, it's an idea anyway. Good luck. Kate |
Here is a link that might be useful: Shade Arbor over hosta
Kate, my husband is a carpenter by trade, so building an arbor would be no problem. We're up against time, though. The tree came down yesterday morning and I was just outside walking the garden. It's VERY hot here today and full sun and some of the leaves are already burning. :((( I'll ask my husband how fast we can throw one together. Thanks for the link. The arbor was gorgeous and the garden is amazing !! |
You should sprinkle the hostas with water immediately. You can somehow immediately put up blinds made out of 1x2s and fabric. I shaded new plants (also dwarf conifers) for the first year after planting in the past. New plants do not have the root system to take up enough water to survive in the heat. I used spun fabric, burlap or landscape fabric, whatever I had. I cut holes into the landscape fabric (black) and spray painted it white. Plants survived even when it did not look pretty. Good luck! Bernd |
A few poles and some shade cloth will work as an emergency measure. You can get polypropylene shade cloth with different densities, I have some white which is 50% shade, and some tan which is 70%, but it comes in many flavors over the internet. -Babka |

I have a couple of Earth Angel Hostas and a Abiqua Drinking Gourd Hosta that all get sun in the morning and again in the evening when the sun is low in the sky. They're not supposed to be sun tolerant, but they are all doing fine. |

Many years ago, I discovered a product called MetaPosts. I discovered it was then sold by Aubuchons Hardware up in New England, and I ordered some. They are spikes on the bottom, like 2 feet long, you put in the top a short piece of 4 x 4 and then wham it into the ground. Then you put your real 4 x 4 into the top of the Metapost, and proceed to build what you want. They can be backed out of the hole to be reused somewhere else. Later on I found some at Home Depot, different name, but same sort of product. You can buy about 6 of them and put up a temporary shade structure or a shade sail which will work for this season. Sorry about the loss of your big tree, but it might be a blessing in disguise. The oak is a fantastic idea. I'm looking out the window here at a live oak in the neighbor's yard, and it is easily 60 - 80 feet tall. Mostly the live oaks shed leaves quickly in the spring when the new leaves push the old ones off. So never a bare tree. And clean up is done quickly too with a leaf blower. I have a shade structure built, but with all my busy days have yet to lay the shade cloth over it or lay the newspaper weed barrier and pine bark down before moving the hosta in containers back to this area. But, after it stops storming next week, that is top priority on my agenda. I only have 12 more hosta due to ship Monday (plus a "nice bonus plant they say) and then the garden here is set for the summer. Talk about sun, you stand a lot better chance with full sun than we do in zone 9a. |
- Posted by thisismelissa z4a-S Twin Cities MN (My Page) on Fri, Jun 8, 12 at 23:04
As long as it's green, it's sending energy to the roots. Wait until they grow crispy or you will stunt their growth for next year. Just remember to start watering NOW so that when the heat comes (as it already has here today, over 90 degrees), they're properly hydrated. Don't wait till the heat gets there, do it NOW! |
Chandla, Rather than plant one huge oak, you might consider planting several smaller trees. I planted some flowering cherries and an eastern redbud last year and they're growing quickly. And I have several dogwoods on my lot, but no huge trees, and still the only hosta that's burned badly for me was Frances Williams despite all the sun they get. I'm sure your hostas will grow back fine next year, and probably better than ever. |

I also will have to grow my hostas in the sun. I have to transplant them from the front of my house to the back to a new circular garden that is in the old pool space and it receives about 6 hrs of sunlight from about 11am to 4pm. I live in western NY. There are a row of pines along the south lot line belonging to the neighbor. I have read the above messages and they make me feel a bit better about the transplanting which I will do in the evening. Thank you for the above. Are there any ideas on what to put with them. I have to transplant all flowers among them day lilies and agapanthus and 3 roses bushes. |

I felled a big spruce this winter. My Blue Angel turned into Light Gray Angel. |
You all are brilliant !! I simply cannot thank you enough for your words of encouragement. It's kind of a mixed bag in the backyard today. Along the fence line that gets the most sun, some of our Hostas are just fine, others have white burn marks on them and others are turning yellow and curling. Boy, that didn't take long, did it? It's HOT today...mid 90's, full on sun. Same for tomorrow. I guess I have to take the mindset that "It is what it is". I am outside watering them 3 times a day. It's taking me about 40 minutes each time because I'm trying to really soak their roots. I'm misting their leaves with cool water and hoping for the best. I'm honestly encouraged to know that even if they look like crispy critters this year, it's not the end of the road for them. That they CAN and will be even better next year !!! |

Floating row covers. Actually I am lazy so I would get some screen material and those green steaks and ty rap a shade cover over them till I can think of the long solution. I am sorry for the loss of your tree. I to have one that has to come down. It sometimes is my best friend. |
Ken - great shade structure. Super sand box. And we've seen pics of your red head. But I don't remember ever hearing a story about the pig???? Is he litter trained? Jan |

Phantom is a good brand. I work for a company that sells retractable screens- Clearview- and they are the only ones on the market that don't slam. Something to consider |
Here is a link that might be useful: ClearView Retractable Screens dont' slam
Phantom is the only screen on the market that if someone was to not see it (which in our case ALL the time at my mother-in-laws house) and walk into it that it will automatically retract and not break. It has no frame at the top and bottom only at the sides. It does slam if released without holding on. Worth the money for not having a blown out screen. |
Phantom Screens actually does have roll control - they just launched it. It is easy to install it on existing Phantom door screens and the new screens will already have that feature as well. |

Hallyday plays Costello, a Parisian restaurateur with a shady past who flies to Macao, where his daughter's family has been brutally slaughtered. Isolated by language, Costello is also losing his memory, a dangerous handicap when seeking revenge. By chance he meets three professionals—Kwai (Anthony Wong), Chu (Lam Ka Tung) and Lok (Lam Suet)—who agree to help him track down the killers. Unfortunately, the three also work for flamboyant gangster George Fung (Simon Yam), whose demands will soon collide with Costello's plans.
While Costello cooks lunch in the kitchen of his daughter's home, Kwai and his cohorts reenact the crime upstairs, one of several memorable set-pieces in the film. To and editor David Richardson juggle time effortlessly, flowing from present to past and back again to connect Costello's killers with their counterparts Wolf (Cheung Siu Fai), Python (Felix Wong) and Crow (Yuk Ng Sau), who are eventually found in Hong Kong.
The script, by longtime To collaborator Wai Kai Fai, sets off the killers as matched pairs, both equally taciturn and resigned to the futility of their profession. When life means so little, family and honor become their driving forces. Grudging respect causes Kwai to delay one shootout, with disastrous results. A subsequent chase, hampered by Costello's increasing fragility, shows To at the top of his powers, combining a half-dozen points of view in sinuous tracking shots through crowded nighttime streets.
The confrontations get more violent when Costello and the others return to Macao, but the film also loses momentum as its characters meet their destinies. To's films have always had spiritual leanings, and in Vengeance they gradually replace the gritty realism of the opening hour. The climax has some superb ideas, but also asks viewers to abandon earlier expectations. To somehow pulls it off, if you can buy into his philosophy.
Vengeance's set-up lets To sidestep many of the language problems that have bedeviled other Asian directors. He gets a great performance from Hallyday, whose hooded eyes and battered visage are a perfect correlative for his character's spatial and emotional disorientation. (In her limited scenes, Sylvie Testud makes a strong impression as his daughter.) The easy interplay among To regulars like Lam Suet, Simon Yam and Anthony Wong (who looks like an Alan Cumming gone to seed) is wonderful to watch, with the actors drawing on years of experience working together as conflicted tough guys. Vengeance succeeds so well on so many levels that it seems churlish to ask more from Johnnie To.

"We haven't experienced that yet, but we're just getting started," he said. "So far it looks to be a good year, but it could manifest itself later on."
Another issue that could cause problems is the effect of opening the U.S. market for Chilean figs.
Herman said he's concerned this could hurt demand more than it will help.
"They are out of the market now, but their quality hasn't been very good, and the shelf life is shorter. Now we have to convince people that quality is good again," he said.
He said the process of conveying that California figs are high in quality could take weeks, an unfortunate byproduct of the imported product.
Since 2011 was the first year for the imports, there's still a need to differentiate the products.
"We need to work on telling people that these are California-grown," Herman said.
It's too early for numbers on how many figs were imported from Chile in 2011, but Stockli agreed the Chilean supply has had some negative effects on the California fresh fig industry.
She said the industry needs to educate media and consumers on the differences between the two groups of figs.
"Our efforts specifically target quality and country of origin," she said, referencing the motto, "When you think figs, think California."

Siege 2004 Problems
I tried this new Gametype, and it caused some problems, as well as some seriously hindering gameplay bugs.
It does note that the ut2004.ini will be changed, so be sure to archive it before you install Siege2k4. I'm glad I did. Apparently the Siege-rewritten ut2004.ini slows down movement in Bombing Run maps (In my game, the movement was reduced to about half - like running in slow-motion); I don't know what other maps/gametypes were affected by Siege, but Siege uses BR maps, so I suspect that's the problem. Also, for some, reason, the framerate playing any seige game was Half that of my normal FPS (Avg = 30, with Siege it was 17!) After I uninstalled Siege and replaced my ut2004.ini with my archived version, I played BR mpas and the framerate was back to normal (30). Another problem was that the multitool didn't work. Alt-firing was supposed to introduce a menu for which to select Primary Fire multitool functions (warping in various structures Critical to game advancement) - but in my game, no menu appeared, and all I could use the multitool for was warping in Shields, which I assume is the first or default tool function. Also, the bots did nothing in the Meat Cooler level (that's not the name, I don't think). They would hang out near their Powercore, and would attack if approached, but would otherwise stay there and make no attempt at attacking the opposing team (this was true for both the bots on my team and the enemy team).

Good thing, on the DVD version, the stuff insnt compressesed, so i can just copy and paste that .INI, because i didnt archive it. |

By the way, if something trashes up the UT2004.ini or User.ini files and you didn't back them up, you can always delete them and the default settings will be restored. Unfortunately, you'll have to set the settings to your liking all over again.

I'd like to see the creators of Siege fix these problems though - I really want to play this gametype. |

Same thing happened to me, the bots camped and no menu would come up :|
i noticed a batch file in the system directory and uninstalled it, does anyone know if this fixes the slowness in BR and other things it messed up? |
13th Apr 2004, 10:01 AM | #9 |
I just think that Seige is flawed, and needs to be debugged. The question is: how did these bugs make it past a Beta test?
10th Jul 2004, 09:04 PM | #10 |
Has anyone of you read the readme or at least the installation-insturctions (http://fire.prohosting.com/siege2k3/Documentation.html)?
1. Exectue the SetupSiege.bat. 2. Execute the StartSiege.bat to start the game. 3. Use no bots - doesnt work and slows down the game (stated in the readme, too). 4. Change the serverpackages ONLY if you want to host a server (hey, they are called serverpackages, not clientpackages). 5. Siege doesnt do ANY changes to your original ut2004.ini - It just copies your ut2004.ini to create a modified one. ...arrrr, this is very frustating.
Visit Siege 2004 - A unique combination of RTS and FPS. Check out the ManHack - The Painkiller meets UT. ...or visit Defence Alliance 2 - the long-awaited sequel. |

Considered by many to be he finest male jazz vocalist of his generation, Kurt Elling has just released a live CD Dedicated to You, Elling's creative re-imagining of John Coltrane's collaboration with "romantic balladeer" Johnny Hartman [watch for an upcoming Jazz Police review]. Johnny Hartman was the only singer ever to record with Coltrane. The Coltrane/Hartman 1963 album of ballads, Dedicated To You, is considered a masterpiece, a perfect synergy of 'Trane's passionate tenor saxophone and Hartman's sensual baritone vocals.
Kurt Elling is currently touring California and celebrating that music with the Laurence Hobgood trio with special guest Ernie Watts. Must see events:
(1) Yoshi's in San Francisco July 11th & 12th;
(2) Catalina's Jazz Club in Los Angeles July 14th – 18th.
About His New Album:
Artist: Kurt Elling
Album: Dedicated to You: Kurt Elling Sings the Music of Coltrane and Hartman
Release Date: June 23rd, 2009
Label: Concord Records
Recorded live at Lincoln Center, the premier vocalist of his generation salutes and re-interprets one of the greatest jazz albums of all time.
Recorded on January 21st, 2009 in Manhattan as part of Lincoln Center's American Songbook series, the album packs the best of the live performance into twelve tracks bursting with a stunning spectrum of music, both vocal and instrumental. This is a truly unique album that will catch most people's attention.

WoW Moviewatch: The Mini-Show of Krys
In honor of today's subject, I was going to try and write this recap in French. As my French skills are kind of sad, though, I ended up sparing you that pain. But I tried.
Today's Moviewatch is pretty cool. The Mini-Show of Krys is definitely a different take on what you can do with the world and objects in World of Warcraft. French animator Krys has put together an animated series based on the game, and uses the world at large as a backdrop for most of his animation. Don't worry -- there are subtitles aplenty. This is the 6th in the series created by Krys.
It's definitely light hearted and an amusing offering. I know I'll be quoting "You suffer the punishment of Doggy the Dog!" in the battlegrounds for a while, and that's not all the laughs the Mini-Show has to offer. I often wonder if some of the humor doesn't get lost (or injected) in language translation. The English subtitling is definitely solid, though, so I don't think we're missing out on much of Krys's humor. This is definitely a series I'll be watching for later installments.

Florida's Daniel earns $100,000 for Wal-Mart FLW Tour bass victory
CLEWISTON, Fla. — Clear skies and warmer temperatures improved fishing Saturday, allowing local favorite, Steve Daniel of Clewiston, Fla., to catch five bass weighing 12 pounds, 2 ounces on Lake Okeechobee to win $100,000 in the first Wal-Mart FLW Tour bass event of the new millennium.
Until Saturday's finale, the $500,000 tournament presented by Eagle Electronics was marred by cold temperatures and windy conditions that made fishing difficult and left many top professionals, including local legend Roland Martin, out of contention.
Daniel caught his limit using a topwater Rapalla and Ninja Spin spinnerbait. He caught the bass on the edge of grass beds at the south end of Lake Okeechobee near South Bay.
"It was just a great day today," Daniel says. "I had most of my fish before eight this morning, but then I started getting nervous about competing for $100,000. I'm just speechless, I don't know what to say."
With the victory, Daniel ties the all-time FLW Tour win record of three set by David Fritts of Lexington, N.C. Daniel won the second FLW Tour event of 1996 held on Lake Okeechobee. He also won the first FLW Tour Championship, which was held on Georgia's Lake Lanier in 1996. Daniel's victory Saturday earned him the inaugural Energizer "Keeps On Going" award for the greatest comeback during the event. Daniel fought back from 24 th place after day one to make it into the final round.
By winning the lucrative tournament, Daniel, fishing Saturday from the Kellogg's boat, automatically qualifies for the Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship presented by CITGO Sept. 13-16, 2000, in Shreveport, La. There, he will fish against 49 of the world's top bass anglers for $250,000.
Second place and $35,000 went to Jeff Simes of Punta Gorda, Fla., for an 8-14 catch from the Coleman boat. Stephen Browning of Hot Springs, Ark., placed third and collected $20,000 for a 3-01 catch from the Timex boat. Craig Powers of Rockwood, Tenn., finished fourth and earned $16,000 for a 3-0 stringer, followed by Marty Stone of Fayetteville, N.C., who weighed in a 2-07 catch to win $14,000. Powers and Stone fished from the EverStart and Land O'Lakes boats respectively.
Robert Vogelsang of Jessup, Mo., won the Co-Angler Division title Friday and collected $15,000 plus a year's supply of CITGO gasoline for his catch weighing 10-04. For complete co-angler and pro results, visit www.flwtour.com.
Run by Operation Bass Inc., the world's largest bass tournament organization, the Wal-Mart FLW Tour historically maintains a 98 percent live release rate. If the FLW Tour continues the rate through 2000, BFGoodrich Tires will donate $25,000 to the Children's Miracle Network.

Supersaver Secrets
By Bob Trebilcock
Special Offers
Why she became a guerrilla: My father was always looking for the best deal when I was growing up, and the hunt for a bargain has been something I enjoy, says Harrison, 39, a part-time environmental engineer in Greenville, SC. But what had been a pastime became mandatory after she had three kids, including twin sons, now 5. I want my children to look nice, but theres a limit to what I will take out of the family budget for their clothes, she says. They grow out of things so quickly.
How she does it: Harrison approaches consignment sales like a pro. In her area, three organizations run periodic sales of kids clothing: the Mothers of Multiples Club; Mothers of Preschoolers; and Trunk Treasures, a local group. All offer seasonal clothing at big discounts, but Harrison does more than just show up and shop. She joined these groups so she can volunteer to work at the tables that way she gets first dibs on the merchandise. Before the sales start, I make a list of what my kids will need for the upcoming season, she says. I stick to the list and dont overspend, no matter how cute something is. Typically, Harrison pays 33 to 50 percent of the retail price for her childrens outfits. (Other good sources: kids consignment shopsespecially in tony neighborhoods and private-school fund-raisers.)
Go to school: Harrison has also never missed the annual uniform sale at the private school her 8-year-old daughter, Anna, attends. Ive found great deals there, she says.
Dollar discipline: When Harrison is at a store and chances upon a must-have for herself, her husband, or the kids, she goes home and searches the Web for a better price. If I cant find it on eBay or somewhere else online, I have to decide whether we really need it or if its something we can live without, she says.
Consignment bonus: Harrison also favors shopping these sales for baby-shower gifts. Ive found some great outfits that still had the tags on them, she says. If theyre cute, Ill put them aside because someone is always having a baby.

Raspberry Ketone is a supercharged metabolic booster, speeding up your body's fat-burning engine to help break apart fat at the cellular level. Green Coffee Bean contains caffeine, and 6 important compounds. All these elements are found naturally in the bean. Green coffee Extracts contain mostly chlorogenic acid. While chlorogenic acid is an important PART in weight loss, it is the caffeine and other 5 crucial acids that help burn fat. That is why we insisted on the Whole Green Coffee Bean crushed from its natural state and mixed into our unique formula. Garcinia Cambogia acts as a fat blocker, stopping the fat cells to form. The fat that you eat has nowhere to go, meaning it passes through your system. Garcinia Cambogia also works as an appetite suppressant, reducing your cravings. The Caffeine is the final kicker that gives you energy over hours of time, unlike brewed coffee, there is no crash. The caffeine is equal to a cup of coffee per serving so there is no jittery feeling. The caffeine is digested slowly helping you with everyday activities and exercise.

I was trying to construct a demo to show someone building up a My Site and sucking information from SharePoint List RSS feeds from various team sites. To my horror I got the error message "The RSS webpart does not support authenticated feeds."
So does this mean that you can't consume RSS feeds from within it's own SharePoint environment or any authenticated source?
There seems to be plenty of posts confirming my issue here furthermore it is confirmed that it will only work if Kerberos authentication is configured on the server.
Some people have recommended using another webpart akak the SharePoint 2007 RSS Aggregator Tool. Something else to experiment with. Someone has put together a good initial review of this. He's just updated it too!

The phrase "urban lumber" may seem like a contradiction in terms but not to Art's Frederic Rose.
Rose, an expert in woodworking, joined the faculty this year as an assistant professor after arriving at CSULB in 2002 as a lecturer. He explains that an urban lumber program would transform wood gleaned from trimming city trees into furniture and sculpture at CSULB.
The urban lumber program is part of a larger movement in the general culture.
"A big part of any city's waste disposal is getting rid of local trees and branches," said Rose, who received his BFA in ceramics from CSULB in 1992 and his MFA in sculpture from CSU Fullerton in 2000. "And at the same time, there is the worry about where future wood is coming from. Do we get it from the Philippines or South America? What about the spotted owl? There is a growing focus on trees from the city. Instead of using them for landfill, why not create a new viable form of lumber?"
The city of Long Beach can be a treasure trove of wood for the artist.
"You can find lumber in a city you never could at Home Depot," he said. "You can't buy a wide plank of oak with a natural edge in a store where wood is always milled. But in a city, you find unusual lumber that isn't common to mass industry. Plus, lumber can be expensive. If we can cut and mill trees people were going to throw away anyway, we could give students free wood, which is the equivalent of a scholarship. It's all part of a plan to earn my students' respect for wood."
Wood has certain characteristics because it grows in a certain form in order to deal with its environment. It often records a history of the things that have happened to it.
"I remember a board someone brought to class that was covered in circled dots that were labeled 'Danger -- Nails.' I noticed they didn't come through on the other side," he said. "So I used my pocket knife to pick at one and found the dots were really buckshot. I tried to explain to the student that such a thing is like treasure."
He has found everything from yellow nylon rope to a garden hose buried in living wood. "That is especially true for urban trees," he said. "I can tell when a tree grew on a good corner for garage sales because you find lots of nails. There are occasions when I can document where a tree came from and I pass that on to the students. By counting the rings, they know when it was planted. That way, the students have a very different connection to the wood than by going to a lumber yard and buying a fairly anonymous board. I want students to learn the names of trees in their neighborhood. When you know the name of something, you feel more grounded. It is not just a tree anymore. It has properties and qualities."
In a world gone technology mad, it may seem counterproductive to some to teach students how to saw logs in a mill, but Rose thinks that is exactly what is missing from 21st century culture.
"If you need to use a computer program to design a piece of furniture, go for that," he said. "You can use the Internet's reach to discover how wood is being used for sculpture or furniture in China or Japan or Sweden. But it is still important to be grounded in your environment and to know what a tree is."
Right now, anyone can visit Sears and buy a "robotic carver" where a board is fed in one side and out comes a carving, and although Rose is "very impressed" by that, he sees the use of ancient tools as a huge, untapped area of research.
"Students can learn how to use traditional tools and techniques to develop a more personal relationship to wood and still create very contemporary work," he said. "Table saws, band saws, hand saws, measuring tools, routers and a selection of hand tools specializing in carving are all need-to-know subjects."
Rose's students start off with carving. "When you carve something, you cut the strings of the fibers of the wood. That tells the student a lot," he said. "When they start chiseling and it suddenly splits where they never intended, then they learn what wood is. Then they move up to boxes. They learn the basics of joinery. By the end of the first semester, they introduce mortises and more joinery. With that knowledge, they ought to be able to make a chair or a table."
His own work addresses the connections that wood has to flesh. "I want to show how humans and trees are similar," he said. "I want to develop an appreciation for the tree among the students as a living thing in and of itself. If it comes down or is removed, I want to make sure it isn't thrown away like junk."
Rose often asks his students if they are familiar with the great forests of Mars. "What about the great forests of Venus? Yes, trees may have evolved on other planets, but oaks may be unique to earth. I believe the universe is littered with diamonds and rubies because they are fundamental elements. The forests of earth are rare by comparison," he said.
Rose sees similarities between a city's trees and its citizens. "So many of the trees we have in Southern California are like the people; they come from somewhere else," he laughed. "There are trees from Australia, China or Africa. We get some really interesting lumber. Some of the eucalyptus is quite nice. Some of it resembles teak wood. It's very dense and could be used to build outdoors furniture or sculpture that endures."
Rose's goal is to find room on campus to store and cure wood as well as someday build a solar kiln. "There is a controversy in Santa Monica about cutting down 50 old ficus trees," he explained. "If they end up cutting down those trees and CSULB had that wood, we would have enough to run the urban lumber program for 10 years. Students could develop any size product they wanted and could use any wood they wanted. It's a lot of physical labor and a lot of hard work, but it's worth it."
