Chuck Norris Facts
Status: Tall Tales
I don't know when the Chuck Norris facts first appeared on the internet. Many of you might already be aware of them. But just in case you're not, they're worth a look. Here's a few of the facts:• Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
• The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
• If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may be only seconds away from death.
Chuck Norris is aware of these "facts" being spread about him. So far, he has generously allowed their authors to live.

Wow, the fact thet anyone could possibly perceive that something stating "The opening scene of Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on games of Dodgeball Chuck Norris Played in second grade" is actually serious is a serious loser. You don't get out much, do you RAMcHYLD? You Know that weird yellow thing in the sky every time you go get Bawls before dark? That is the sun. Maybe if you saw it more often, women would not run in fear of you.

Chuck Norris is the only human being that Bill O'Reily of The O'Reily factor will agree with. It's not that Chuck Norris is right about everything. It's because, Chuck Norris controls the media and, therefore he controls Bill O'Reily. Before, the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Some people think that comets come from outerspace and, are responsible for bringing the building blocks of life to Earth. In reality comets are actually kidney stones that Chuck Norris passed many years ago but, they are responsible for life as we know it.

Long ago there was nothingness and, Chuck Norris didn't have anything to roundhouse kick so, he created the universe. In closing, the meaning of life it self is to be roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris. End of story.

Actually, by now there are 2 image results for "Chuck Norris getting his ass kicked," but neither of them have anything to do with what their titled. It's probably your fault, as with web pages about asses being kicked popped up when you said there weren't any. But whatever.
I bet someday there will be a nut that will kick poor Chuck Norris in the ass, just for so, because of everybody talking about it
And he won't be able to roundhouse kick and kill him because, realistically, that's illegal.
And then somebody will take a picture and post it on Google. Old un-updated Chuck Norris sites will look stupid(er) because there are millions of controdictions to popular jokes.
But whatever, go on with your stupid jokes and have fun. Buttbrains.

I just moved to the panhandle in ID to start my farm. I would like to do large scale composting with wood, but we have only pine available. Is this still possible? Would it be a benefit to turn the wood into sawdust or very fine chips? Do I simply use more greenery? THANK YOU! |
Follow-Up Postings:
caps lock not needed, can't give you a difinitive answer, maybe no one can. we are living where once stood radiata pines, some of this material ended up on our hugelkultur beds, we get lots of pine needles and cones as the blocks either side are still fully pine planted. none of this appears to be affecting anything adversely the top soil in our beds came from on site, we use oodles of gypsum with a dash of dolomite(just in case) when they slash the other properties (to minimise fire risk) we rake that grass and use it as mulch, it contains lots of needles and cones, no discernible issues. |

The town of Donaldson has long disappeared and lies in Vilas County off of Highway B near the Michigan border and the Wisconsin town of Land O' Lakes. The small town was once a former logging town and was abandoned during the 1920s. The remains are situated near abandoned railroad tracks and some of the foundations still stand but all the buildings are gone. According to the Land O' Lakes Chamber of Commerce, the area is not a historic site but it is mostly private land and you need to seek permission before treasure hunting.(ref3)

Hundreds of geocachers from around the world will descend on West Bend for a weekend of contests, special events and other geocaching-related activities. Theres even a class for those who are geocaching for the first time.

The town of Hurley in Iron County still exists, but only 2,000 people inhabit the town that once ballooned to more than 7,000 people. The town lies in the northern part of the state off Highway 77. The town still has 30 bars and for a small town that seems like a lot, but it is a reflection of the town's tawdry past. According to the Iron County Historical Museum, Hurley catered to miners and loggers in the late 1800s and then during prohibition catered to gamblers and drinkers. At one time the town had more than 80 saloons run by Chicago gangs during prohibition. Many of the old saloons are gone and lie on abandoned property on private land. Not much of the buildings remain. Special permission is needed to treasure hunt.
Star Lake
Star Lake lies 8 miles north of the Vilas County Museum in Saynor, Wisconsin. The town started due to intense logging in the area and at one time had a population of 600 people, according to the Vilas County Historical Museum. The remains at the site include a post office, grocery store and some homes. When the area was logged out, the logging company moved to a site in western Wisconsin. The land now is privately owned by William Hense, according to the museum. Seek permission before exploring the area; the store is closed during the winter.
Meetings are held the 3rd Saturday of each month at 1:00 P.M.
The new meeting site for the Tomah chapter is in the Town of LaGrange town hall, located on Hwy 21, 1.8miles west of the Hwy 12 intersection in Tomah. The address is 22731 Flint Ave. , Tomah Wisconsin. 300+ members
Aquila Resources has notified the state Department of Natural Resources that it will submit an application for exploratory drilling in what is known as the Reef gold deposit in the town of Easton. The application to explore, once filed, is the first step in determining how much gold might extracted from the area.
It might sound far-fetched, but this is not the first time Marathon County has been scrutinized by prospectors. Another Canadian company, Noranda Inc., explored the deposit in the 1980s, but did not pursue mining because the value of gold at the time wasn't high enough to justify mining operations, said Ann Coakley, the DNR's director of waste and materials management.
"They determined the deposit was too small to be economical at gold prices then," she said.
Noranda did not share its findings with the DNR, but Thomas Evans, a geologist with the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, said previous research found that up to 120,000 ounces of gold, along with other minerals, could be buried within the Reef site.
When Noranda explored the area, gold was selling for about $350 an ounce. Today, it is worth more than $1,400 per ounce, meaning the Easton deposit could be worth tens of millions of dollars.
The higher price has some mineral companies taking second looks at gold deposits that previously have been explored, said William Cordua, a professor of mineralogy, petrology and oceanography at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
"The price makes some deposits more appealing that were dismissed before for one reason or another," Cordua said.
Aquila did not respond to interview requests, but Evans said the gold deposit, which is at least 1.8 billion years old, is considered to be a small one, and the gold veins underground are found at 45-degree angles, making extraction difficult.
The last metallic mine in the state, the Flambeau mine near Ladysmith, closed in 1997.

If you are willing to go secondhand, you don't have to pay a lot to drive an interesting car. Cool cheap cars are out there, and while everyone's definition of the word varies most of the time a cool car is one that is either fun to drive, great looking, or just offers a certain style and image that appeals across a wide range of demographics. Some cool affordable cars are harder to find than others due to their relatively low production numbers, but the miracle of depreciation has put many intriguing automobiles within the reach of the average driver.
Let's take a quick look at 10 cool cheap cars out there on the used market.
01. Used Honda S2000
A used Honda S2000 provides a stunning combination of performance and value. There's no doubt that the dashing two-seat drop top is one of the more exotic-looking cool cheap cars, but its Honda drivetrain helps to ensure that a used Honda S2000 won't come with Italian-level repair and maintenance bills. A 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine produces 237 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and the S2000 is a favorite amongst track enthusiasts looking for a dual-purpose car that they can also run on the street without having to worry about reliability.
02. Used Subaru WRX
A used Subaru WRX has long been the target of compact car enthusiasts seeking cool affordable cars to modify for more speed, better handling, or hotter looks. A used Subaru WRX is a tuner's dream thanks to the fact that its turbocharged, 2.5-liter engine responds exceptionally well to modifications, allowing it to surge past its stock 265 horsepower. A standard all-wheel drive system makes the WRX a viable option in the wet, in the snow, and on dry tarmac, and a five-speed manual transmission helps to manage the vehicle's output. The Subaru can also be had in either sedan or hatchback body styles, adding further versatility to what is already a well-rounded car.
03. Used Ford Mustang GT
American muscle depreciates quickly, especially when considering a used Ford Mustang GT. The Ford Mustang GT has undergone several revisions over the past few years that have seen prices on older models drop like a stone, which helps the coupe qualify for inclusion on our list of cool cheap cars. 2010 and earlier models might not have the same level of power as the current edition of the car, but 315 horses from a 4.6-liter V-8 is nothing to sneer at. Transmission choices for the retro-styled Mustang include a five-speed manual and a five-speed automatic, and the GT can reach 60-mph from a standing start in just a few ticks over five seconds.
04. Used Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V
A used Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V flies a little under the radar as far as cool affordable cars go, which means that there's a bit more exclusivity associated with owning this model. Secondhand versions of the compact sedan still have a lot in common with the new version of the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, which adds even more value to the equation. The SE-R Spec V adds a stiff suspension system, bigger brakes, and a snazzy body kit to the standard Sentra platform, and it also introduces a 200 horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is shifted exclusively via a six-speed manual transmission.
05. Used Mazda RX-8
A used Mazda RX-8 makes it onto our list of cool cheap cars thanks to its lightweight design, supernatural cornering capability, and unique rotary engine. The Mazda RX-8 is also noteworthy for offering a coupe body style that comes with an additional set of small rear-hinged doors that provide easy access to the vehicle's very livable rear quarters. The RX-8's 1.3-liter Renesis rotary engine can be relied on to produce up to 232 horsepower when matched with its available six-speed manual transmission - output that comes at a staggering 9,000 rpm, giving the Mazda even more of a race car feel. A six-speed automatic gearbox can also be had with used editions of the RX-8.
06. Used Jeep Wrangler
It's an almost universal truth: Jeeps are cool cheap cars, and used Jeep Wranglers are some of the best of the bunch. No, a Jeep Wrangler might not be fast, nor is it particularly comfortable, but there's something about the SUV's almost unstoppable off-road capabilities that gives it a rugged charm. Add in the fact that you can peel off the top - and remove the doors - and you have a winning formula for coolness. A 3.8-liter V-6 motivates older Jeep Wranglers and it offers up 202 horsepower and can be shifted via either a six-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is, of course, standard with the Wrangler.
07. Used Honda Civic Si
A used Honda Civic Si is not only a cool affordable car, but it also happens to be a practical one, especially if found as a sedan instead of a coupe. A Honda Civic Si looks a bit sportier than its standard cousin, but slipping behind the wheel reveals that the changes to the compact car's platform are far more than skin deep. Extensive chassis tuning helps to make the Civic Si an entirely different beast, giving it surprisingly neutral handling for a front-wheel drive car. The Civic Si also features a high-revving 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that blasts out 197 horsepower. A six-speed manual is the only gearbox to be found with the Civic Si.
08. Used MINI Cooper
Although they are a bit pricy when new, a used MINI Cooper hatchback satisfies the coolness quotient required to be on this list while also offering a comfortable and nimble ride, the availability of high end features, and better-than-expected practicality given the ability to fold down its rear seats and haul a respectable amount of cargo. A used MINI Cooper's base engine is a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder unit that is tapped to produce 118 horsepower, and the choice must be made between six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. All editions of the car come with its iconic, 60's-influenced styling.
09. Used Nissan Cube
A used Nissan Cube proves that cool affordable cars don't have to be fast - sometimes, they just need to be funky. The Nissan Cube wears its Japanese-influenced styling with pride, offering North American buyers the chance the drive something that hasn't been watered down by the need to accommodate foreign markets. The rounded rectangle that is this compact crossover is weird and wonderful at the same time, especially considering the patch of shag carpet that it wears on its dashboard and the transparent rear pillar designed to help improve visibility for the driver. The Cube is powered by a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that is good for 122 ponies, and transmission options include a six-speed manual and a continuously-variable automatic.
10. Used Toyota Tacoma X-Runner
Sport trucks are a lot of fun, and a used Toyota Tacoma X-Runner is one of the slickest-looking cool affordable cars around. The Toyota Tacoma X-Runner offers a slammed suspension system, a ground effects kit, 18-inch rims, sticky rubber, a loud stereo, and a hood scoop to charm fans of trucks that are designed to do more than just haul and tow. The X-Runner, which is available as an Access Cab model (seating for as many as five passengers), comes with the Tacoma's top-tier 4.0-liter V-6. This gives the driver 236 horsepower to play with, and depending on whether you are more into show or go, the X-Runner can be picked up with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission.

I actually love this bronzer. VERY VERY pigmented!! Beautiful bronze color, and great for summer. OMG..sooo freaken CHEAP!! I think it only costs me like $3.00 with tax!!! Now the color stays on pretty good as long as you wear a primor, but worn alone, it may fade some. But being so cheap, I feel that it's worth the money if you are on a budget. The only thing is if you accidently drop it (like most compacts), it does break easily (like mine..BROKE)..lol..so now I have clumps of it, but I still use it because the color is so pretty! I even use it for eyeshadow. I will buy again but more careful on not dropping it for sure!!

I love this bronzer! Its very pigmented and looks great on my cheeks. Its perfect for everyday use. The only thing I do not like is the packaging. Its kind of fragile, and can easily crack, but that's okay. It's reasonably priced, so you can buy another one if you need to.
I love this bronzer! It's awesome, I use it almost everyday. I love the quality and color. I'm excited to try their new natural line of bronzers. I highly recommend this product.
LOVE these bronzers...I have them in a dark/light shade for contour/highlight. So cheap, but nice buildable color. I am already pretty tan (NC42) so I use these on my cheeks/forehead/bridge of the nose to achieve an overall glow.
On my cheeks, I use a blush brush (from either EcoTools or the Body Shop) to create the contour. Everywhere else I use the Sonia Kashuk highlighting brush.
Very impressed for the money.

I LOVE this bronzer!!! It doesn't look orange-y at all on my tanned skin and the "shimmer" effect doesn't make my skin look greasy either. I don't need to use much product and I get a great sun-kissed glow.
I 100% recommend this bronzer!
This is a very coppery orange on me. It's certainly not a good bronzer for me, but I might find another use for it.
As many others have said, it would be perfect for a person with the right skin tone. Just not for me. It has a pretty shimmer that's not over-the-top, and the color isn't orange to me, but it's very pigmented and if you used it like a regular bronzer you'd look fake-baked. I use it super lightly to get just a tint of the pretty color. It was .99 for me at a sale, so no loss.
I have never bought a bronzer before but since this was on sale for $0.99 I decided to give it a try. I picked this one because it look pigmented enough to show up on my CCC skin. Anyways, I love this stuff. it's the perfect color and gives my cheeks definition and shimmer. I was so used to wearing blush which sometimes looked to obvious, but this bronzer is subtle yet noticeable. I liked this so much that I bought a second one today (had to stock up). I will definitely repurchas this whether it's $0.99 or $2.99!!
Wow. I definitely picked up the wrong shade for me, because this turns me into a tangerine. SO ORANGE, and its "luminous", but I would just say it makes me shiny. It's not really shimmery, but it looks gross on me anyways. If only I'd picked up the right shade...
Oh well, it was only 3.50 or something. I think it would look nice on some people, just not me. And also. this is very, very pigmented.
The packaging is, well, crappy, as for the brush, but come on, its drugstore stuff. So yes, not buying this brand of bronzer again even though it is a nice texture, since none of these shades seem right for me at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
The following are common questions about agents and the proposal process:
- I have an idea for a cookbook that seems new and interesting, but I'm not sure how to pursue it.
- I have a workable cookbook idea that seems worthy of publication. Do I really need an agent? And, if so, how do I find one?
- What exactly is a proposal, and how do I create one?
- I've made all of my recipes before. Do I really have to test them?
- What is the average amount of time it takes to go from proposal to finished cookbook?
- I have an idea for a cookbook that seems new and interesting, but I'm not sure how to pursue it.
Crafting the core idea for your book is of monumental importance. Without a thorough understanding of what you hope to accomplish and who you want to reach with your cookbook, your ability to research, examine, and evaluate your competition will be hindered.Your concept needs to clearly convey: a) your passion for and knowledge of your topic, and b) your unique voice and view, and c) your point of differentiation (POD). With that said, write what you know and truly care about — not about what is currently hot in the marketplace. Keep in mind that your writing style and recipe style should be tailored to the audience you want to attract.Once you form a clear concept that declares your intentions and the purpose of your cookbook (similar to a mission statement), you must begin researching the cookbook marketplace. Is there another book that covers the same topic? If so, do not be discouraged. Think about how you can shape your book differently. And, if you want to cover a well-worn topic that is still timely, put a new spin on it. Ask yourself (and be able to clearly answer), "What is my point of differentiation?" Consider how competing books have sold. Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com are great resources for this, as they provide a ranking for each book.If you do not find anything on the market similar to your idea, great! But, you still must effectively convey what makes your book or idea distinctive and, ultimately, worth publishing.»return to top - I have a workable cookbook idea that seems worthy of publication. Do I really need an agent? And, if so, how do I find one?
Today, competition in the publishing arena is fierce, and most publishers will not review submissions without agent representation. So, yes, you probably do need an agent.Representing new and seasoned authors alike, agents negotiate the best terms available and typically earn a 15 percent commission on an author's advance and royalties for the life of the project.If finding an agent seems like an ominous task, here are a few ideas to get you started:- Congratulate yourself for taking a first step and visiting our website.
- Since many authors wish to publicly thank their agents, pick a cookbook you particularly enjoy and read the acknowledgements to find the agent's name.
- The Literary Marketplace is an invaluable resource that can be found online or in a local library. Another suggestion is to go to the Preditors and Editors website (http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/).
- Review the Helpful Resources section of our website.
- What exactly is a proposal, and how do I create one?
Your proposal is the presentation of your concept with supporting background on you, your qualifications, your audience, and sample writing and recipes, that shows your prospective agent (and subsequent publishers) exactly what kind of cookbook you plan to write. It should be thorough, yet concise.To see what we look for in a proposal, read our Proposal Guidelines.»return to top - I've made all of my recipes before. Do I really have to test them?
Yes! It is your responsibility to thoroughly test each recipe, using exact ingredient amounts and making sure the recipe comes out as intended, in terms of taste, appearance, and yield. Note: Chefs especially need to ensure their recipes are downsized for home kitchens and tested on non-commercial equipment.As for who should test your recipes, just ask yourself this question: Who do I want to buy this book? Who is my target audience? Once you have answered these questions, it makes sense to then find a person in that demographic who is willing to spend a few hours in the kitchen on your behalf. Or, depending on the scope of your book, you might investigate professional resources for recipe development and testing. It is your responsibility and your cost to test all recipes.»return to top - What is the average amount of time it takes to go from proposal to finished cookbook?
You can expect to spend anywhere from six months to one year working with your agent to refine and submit your proposal. Then, assuming your proposal is "sold" to a publisher (usually a 2-4 month process), you should plan to spend an additional six to twelve months completing your book or manuscript. The publisher is likely to spend another year editing, designing and, last but not least, printing your cookbook. So, overall, you can save yourself frustration by expecting to spend anywhere from one to three years in this lengthy, but exciting process!»return to top

I am changing the website Content Management System to Word Press(WP) as over the years it has developed far ahead of Joomla, the previous system. WP will allow easier comments and much more flexibility in design. It will also give me better control of members login. At the moment I am hit with a dozen or so spam members registration every day. More on that later in a specific post.
I am increasing content but I do need help with some data. For example, I do not have bios for four of the RSMs and have little on 7RAR (Mech) operations in Afghanistan of the standard we have due to Michael O'Brien's 'Conscript and Regulars' The recent release of War in the Valleys will go some way towards filling the void (when I have a copy) but I lack data such as nominal rolls and 'I was there' stories written by participants.
If anyone knows or knew the RSMs with missing bios sufficiently to provide me with some facts then please contact me. Likewise any current generation member who reads this may note a lack of data on Afghanistan and put their hand up to help me give due accord to post Sth Vietnam Vets.
My aim with this website is to record our story with fact and data and you the members must realize my memory and research skills are limited and contribution is needed. I have long rid myself of the always doubtful premise that I know it all, so if you have comments, suggestions, offers of help and data, then any such contribution will be welcomed with open arms.
If you can help, leave a comment.

The pain of slow times in job creation
Even for Seattle, a city with more strength than much of the country, the picture tends to be mixed, perhaps contributing to the larger social discontent. Unemployment has come to Occupy Minds.
(Page 2 of 2)
Who you know and what you know: As the economy remains unpredictable, companies grow more by peer networking and recruiting top talent.
The size of the job loss in September was surprising to the experts, but they also said that September is often befuddling because they cannot get accurate information quickly on the situation with teachers. Most of the government jobs lost in the month were in state and local education and could be the result of teacher cutbacks being reported as school begins.
The more worrisome figure was the decline of 7,600 positions in private sector employment, especially in construction and the "leisure and hospitality" sector. The latter, with a sharp reduction of nearly 4,000 jobs, could indicate that more people are in financial stress and are cutting back on spending for such things as restaurant meals.
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book, a look at the economy in the 12 districts that make up the central bank, reported this week that the overall national economy was growing slower than earlier in the year, but there was no sign of an outright recession yet. Three regions — Philadelphia, Richmond and Chicago — said things were so uncertain that retailers were reluctant to stock up for holiday sales. Yet the 12th District, which includes Washington state, was fairly upbeat. Here's what it said:
Economic activity in the Twelfth District grew at a moderate pace during the reporting period of September through early October. Upward price pressures were mixed but remained modest overall, and upward wage pressures were limited to a narrow set of skilled occupations. Sales of retail items rose, as did demand for business and consumer services. District manufacturing activity improved modestly. Agricultural producers reported further sales gains, and demand rose a bit for providers of energy resources. Home sales and construction remained lackluster, and demand for commercial real estate stayed weak in most markets. District banking contacts indicated that overall loan demand was largely unchanged.
Alison Peters, of Alison Peters Consulting, who did the business and economic survey for the Chamber, said this about the small business sector, which much of any real job growth is expected to come from:
High taxes and local and federal regulatory mandates remain a key challenge for small businesses to survive and grow. What's more, employers in this category have voiced frustration that the trend is getting worse (pending the implementation of paid sick leave in Seattle). These challenges can reduce profitability and drain the time of top executives who must manage growing amounts of paperwork tied to these regulations.
What's ahead? More of the same, it seems. The economy seems stuck in place except for a few key areas such as aerospace, on-line retail, health care, and international trade. Luckily the region is strong in those areas. But the overall economy continues to struggle.
Last month, the national labor report showed an increase of about 100,000 jobs. Better than previous months, but keep in mind this statistic: Nationally, the economy needs to produce 400,000 jobs a month for two years to get us back to where we were when the recession hit.
I was in New York last week and stopped by the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park. It was a warm day, several men were playing bongo drums, and a few people were dancing to the beat. There were literally hundreds of signs in the park, many on the basic theme of income disparity and the free ride financial institutions seem to be getting.
But one sign stuck out as being both accurate and perhaps prescient: "We're here We're unemployed Get used to it."

So where is the State of Washington bank? The state deposits tax receipts at the bankrupt Bank of America which refuses to loan money to farmers and small businesses of WA. Time to follow the North Dakota model and form our own bank.

Reemerging as Curtis Axel, the former Michael McGillicutty has a tremendous opportunity presented in front of him. Being aligned with Paul Heyman, who also associates himself with the likes of CM Punk and Brock Lesnar, Axel is now in the push of his career. By being paired with Heyman, there is a lot that is expected of Axel. Can he fulfill his potential?
Axel is legitimate, possessing tremendous ability inside of the ring and out. Arguably one of the most underrated work horses in the WWE, Axel had stagnated in the low midcard for nearly 2 years. After a stint in the New Nexus and a forgettable run with the WWE Tag Team Championships, Axel still hadn't much to show for himself. It wasn't until he was subject to matches on Superstars and NXT: Redemption where his ability really developed and shined.
In a heated feud with Tyson Kidd, the two had a great program together. Both had fantastic chemistry, blending well with their established heritages and fluid in-ring work. In fact, this was one of the few things that came from this incarnation of NXT that was entertaining. I bring this up, despite it being a year later, to show how much Axel has grown since his initial debut.
Comparative to now, Axel has evolved substantially since the now infamous "Genesis of McGillicutty" promo. Since then, he has developed a comfort in the ring. Now, he shows a considerable amount of ability and intensity, as seen this past Raw.
Things are looking up for his career. This is an opportunity I'm sure he has been working for, and he sure won't waste. In the near future, I'm certain he will prove himself to be a game changer.

Death Knight Ghouls' baby name book
Prefixes | Suffixes |
Blight | Basher |
Bone | Chewer |
Brain | Cruncher |
Carrion | Feeder |
Corpse | Gnaw |
Crypt | Gobbler |
Dirt | Grinder |
Grave | Leaper |
Gravel | Masher |
Rib | Muncher |
Rot | Ravager |
Skull | Ripper |
Stone | Slicer |
Tomb | Stalker |
Basically, the ghoul names come from picking a prefix from column A and combining it with a suffix from column B. I hope my ghoul's name comes out to be GraveFeeder or CorpseCruncher. However, as you can imagine, some of these name combinations just will not fly as they may sound too R-rated. (In particular, Blizzard might want to consider killing the "Muncher" suffix altogether.) Similar to a Warlock's minion name, it appears that the ghoul's name stays constant, even after dismissing and resummoning. Blue forum poster Ghostcrawler says that generating a random name for every summon requires a code change that won't happen before Wrath hits. However, Ghostcrawler does say that the randomizing code will likely be included in a post-Wrath release.

GREAT FALLS - The Dana Ranch, which sits between Great Falls and Helena, is now in the hands of a Texas rancher and oil executive.
The sprawling spread, which is just south of Cascade, boasts about 60,000 acres and was assembled starting in 1913m and has been owned by just two families since then.
LandReport.com stated that it is "...considered by many to be the finest operating and recreational ranch in the Rocky Mountain West. Supporting 3,000 animal units on 59,000± acres, it boasts over 13 miles of superb fisheries and an incredible diversity of wildlife resources from elk to waterfowl to upland birds.
David Killam paid a $45-million for the land.

What did we learn from the release of Alex Rodriguez's previously confidential arbitration award? On Monday, January 13, Alex Rodriguez filed suit against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, and the Major League Baseball Players Association. After a short oral argument in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge William H. Pauley III ordered that A-Rod's attorneys were required to submit an unredacted and complete version of the previously confidential arbitration award with their filing.

If A-Rod isn't happy with the outcome of his arbitration case, will he have any recourse? Alex Rodriguez's attorneys have, at various times, suggested that he will challenge the outcome of his Biogenesis suspension-related grievance arbitration should he not be satisfied with the result—and that only a result of no suspension will be acceptable. (Update: Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz reduced Rodriguez's sentence, but only to 162 games. A-Rod does plan to appeal to federal court.) In a column in November, I wrote, "Courts grant great deference to labor arbitration and arbitrators under what's referred to as the Steelworkers Trilogy, a series of cases issued by the Supreme Court in 1960." That is true whether the case involves teamsters in Detroit or Chicago or baseball players in San Diego or New York. The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level.

Going public won't help Alex Rodriguez win his case. On Wednesday, Alex Rodriguez reportedly stormed out of his disciplinary hearing and made various pronouncements to the media, most notably during an interview with Mike Francesa on WFAN and the YES Network. Under normal circumstances, we could see this as his true emotional response to the negative ruling he'd just received (that Commissioner Selig would not be required to testify in the case). But because everything we've seen thus far from A-Rod and his team has been so orchestrated, I can interpret this only as a well-rehearsed and well-scheduled event like all of the rest. The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level. Please click here to subscribe. October 8, 2013 6:00 am
What's the most likely outcome of A-Rod's appeal? Week one of Alex Rodriguez's disciplinary hearing has come and gone, with another week likely still remaining to be scheduled around the arbitrator's other commitments at some point in the near future.

With an overall appreciation for design, this allowed these two to spend a lot of time talking about design, thinking about design, and designing without being absent from their personal commitments to one another.With Inhabit, these two acted on a gut feeling about whether a product idea is right for the Inhabit brand and if it could be produced and sold at an affordable price. With everything designed from scratch, Inhabit prides themselves on not taking existing designs or making pillows or bedding from someone elses fabrics. These are all individual sketches, thoughts and ideas brought to life in the Inhabit line.

I have seen the "strap on" plastic skis at various places in the US. They are just simple skis that strap to a kid's snow boots. They are pretty cheap.
My suggestion is see how he likes those long boards on his feet before you leave and if it works, go for the lesson (if the ski school lets you). I have a suspicion he would have to be potty trained.
Cheers and hope to see you this season.
Hey Boo!
Kinda relevant for me too...we had our 1st little one 6 weeks ago!
afaik, ski school won't take any kids until they're 2.5 years old and thats just mainly for childcare rather than skiing (although iirc, they do get an hr per day of private tuition included within the childcare aspect....I'm thinking mainly just putting them skis and dragging them round a bit?).
Other than that, I don't think you can actually book privates until they're 3yrs although that seems a bit weird if they can get an hr as part of childcare at 2.5yrs?
Basically, I'm not entirely sure....! Hopefully an official ski school rep will chime in with better advice!
Good to hear Boo Jnr is doing well and you're priming him for a ski career.... atm our little one still likes to shout/scream/cry more than anything else....still, I'm sure he'll turn out to be an Olympian yet!!! ;-)
I am a Supervisor in the Kids' Vacation Center. I thought I would attach a list of our programs for our youngest skiers to inform you of your options when your child is old enough for our programs. In our experience, these programs best suit the majority of young skiers. Unfortunately, it will be a few more months before your son is ready for a professional program, but this way you can plan for next year :) Best of luck and enjoy the coming winter!
2½-4 years
The best first experience for your child on skis. Buckaroos participants enjoy all-day childcare as well as a one-hour private ski lesson provided by specially-trained instructors
Childcare available from 8:00am-4:00pm. Ski equipment & lunch included. No lift ticket required.
3½-4 years
Leave the teaching to us for little ones! The Maverick program is a full-day group lesson and operates in a similar fashion to Sundance Kids, with smaller group sizes, a little less ski time (two one-hour sessions) and a lot of fun! All Mavericks must be willing to ski and be fully potty-trained.
Lunch included. Helmet required. Equipment is not included. No lift ticket required.
KVC opens at 8:00am. Pick-Up at 3:00pm
3-4 years
The perfect opportunity to learn to ski for young whippersnappers! Experienced staff will instruct your child in a one-hour private lesson. This is a great option for your child to first try skiing or if they'd like a little extra attention as they improve their skiing skills.
Helmet required. Equipment is included.
3-3½ years
All day Kiddie Coral Child Care with Lunch, plus an on-snow group ski lesson for 1.5 hours. Lunch included. Ski equipment & helmet is included during lesson time only. No lift ticket required.
KVC opens at 8am. Pick-Up at 4pm
Thank you very much, everyone.
I have sent a seperate message to SteamboatRider with my congratulations :-)
Thank you Kimberly, Jnr will be JUST too young for those programs when we visit - he will be about 2 years and 1 week old when we get to Steamboat. We will consider either Buckaroos or Whippersnapper Privates for the 2013 season (when he will be 3 years old).
Thanks SkiSteamboat - looks like we will try your suggestion :-)
Hi Boo Boo!
We put our daughter in a private lesson last year when she was 3 but our son skiied with us on preview when he was just 19 months old! We had to search a few shops for boots small enough but it was a great experience and one we all enjoyed and loved. I have great pictures of him snowplowing on his own following his daddy down the mountain.
We did like the private lesson for our daughter since I wanted her to do it on her own and was really amazed at what they did for her in an hour. They had her turning her skis, french fries and pizza wedge, but it was a great experience that I would do again. We also saw them working with one of the little ones from the child care lesson and they were using the magic carpet and working on turns and stops. Amazing since the girl was so little!
We are excited that this year she will be old enough for big ski school since she will be 4 when we go in Feburary. Our newest olympian will still have to wait a little bit longer though since he will only be 4 months old when we get there!
Hi Amy
Thank you :-)
That is amazing! 19 months?! That must have been so cute.
I think that I will wait until Alex is 3 - and able to ski with a proper instructor. He is a bit of a "no caution, no fear, dare devil": I think that he would be a lot better off in professional hands ;-). The isntructors at Steamboat are amazing and that is definitely where I want him to learn.
4 months old? Is that your third? Born just now or not arrived yet? How exciting!!! Do you plan to get much skiing in yourself? I know where to come for advice on family ski vacations :-)
Where did you find the boots/skis for the 19 year old? My family will be coming for our vacation in feb 2012 and will have our son with us. He has been walking well now for several months, and will be 18 months at the time of our vacation. Would love to let him give it a try around the base area for picutre purposes. If you remember the name of the shop you found the boots/skis at please let me know.
Hi Brandon!
When my oldest daughter was 17 months we put her on skis. But it was only in our driveway, and they were the skis that attached to her winter boots - so the sizing on the "binding" was changeable. I know that One Stop Ski Shop has those skis in stock. I still amaze people with the super-cute pics of her posing and sliding around our (almost) flat driveway. (She's 7y.o. now and skis like a little champ! So fun!) They are great little skis at a reasonable price, and no ski boots are required.
Have a great visit to Steamboat!
Thank you very much. That is exactly what I am looking for. I will look for that ski shop when we get in town and hopefully we can find some skis for him. We are all looking forward to our trip. This is my first time to colorado, so I am anxious.
Thank you very much, Laura, I will check this out too.
The youngest lesson we do is called a Buckaroo and they start at 2 and a half years old, so he's still a little young for it. This program constitutes a full day of childcare with a 1 hour private lesson. Thank you for asking.
Please call or email with any other questions,

[1741] Extra-Lysosomal Localization of Arylsulfatase B: Implications for Epithelial Pathobiology
SV Prabhu, G Guzman, S Bhattacharyya, AK Balla, JK Tobacman. University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL; Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Chicago, IL
Background: Arylsulfatase B (ASB; N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase) is deficient in MPS VI, the lysosomal storage disease characterized by accumulation of chondroitin-4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Recent work demonstrated reduction of ASB activity in patients with cystic fibrosis and in malignant mammary epithelial cell lines. In colonic epithelial cell lines, reduced ASB activity was associated with increases in cell migration, RhoA activation and MMP9 expression. Surprisingly, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and activity assays demonstrated ASB in cell membranes of cultured human bronchial and colonic epithelial cells, as well in the cytoplasm and nuclei.
Design: To further assess localization of ASB in normal and malignant colonic epithelial cells, we measured ASB activity using the substrate 4-MUS in a quantitative fluorometric assay. IHC of ASB was assessed in 75 cores in tissue microarrays from the National Disease Research Interchange (Philadelphia, PA). A rabbit polyclonal antibody (Open Biosystems, Huntsville, AL) directed at a unique C-terminal epitope and shown to be specific for ASB was used for IHC. Three observers independentlly reviewed each of the sections, assessing % positivity and intensity of cytoplasmic, nuclear, and luminal membrane staining.
Results: In normal colonic tissue, IHC demonstrated marked prominence of ASB in the luminal membrane. In malignant tissue, luminal membrane staining was reduced or absent. Increased cytoplasmic intensity was apparent near the luminal surface in the normal tissue, in contrast to deeper in the crypts. This variation was absent in the malignant cells. In the normal tissue, rare, isolated cells, with intense, uniform cytoplasmic and nuclear staining, were dispersed in the crypts. Nuclear staining was generally absent in the malignant epithelial cells; when present, staining was punctate. Activity assay demonstrated that ASB activity was significantly less in malignant colonic tissue than in normal tissue (56.3 ± 4.0 vs. 108.1 ± 7.8 nmol/mg protein/hr; p<0.0001, unpaired t-test, two-tailed, n=6).
Conclusions: The enzyme ASB is not confined to lysosomes in colonic epithelial cells, but also has luminal membrane localization. The distinct cellular pattern of ASB staining in the normal colonic epithelial cells is lost in the malignant tissue, and ASB activity is significantly reduced. ASB may be a useful marker of colonic pathology.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Roscoe!
Facts about Roscoe
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature)/Bichon Frise Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Roscoe's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
For more information on this dog or to request an application, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Roscoe is a sweet little outgoing and playful dog. We're not entirely sure of his mix so what you see listed is our best guess. He's a little over a year old and about 10 pounds. He LOVES to play with his stuffed toys. He can be a tad shy with new people, but he does warm up very quickly. He would be fine with calm and patient children that will wait for him to come to them and won't chase him. If you chase Roscoe, he will run (hey, its a game) but if you sit calmly and call him, he will come to you. We don't know if he is a door dasher, but as he will playfully run, extreme care should be taken around open doors. He does well with other dogs and he loves to play although he can sometimes be a little possessive of his toys. Roscoe is doggie door trained and knows to potty outside. For training purposes, when he comes into the house, he is confined to one room and does not have run of the entire house. Under these circumstances, he does not potty in the house. While we would believe that he is mostly housetrained, he might need a little time and patience to adjust to his new surroundings and settle in. Roscoe is not an excessive barker. For more information or to submit an application, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Rescue a forever friend!
About our adoption process: For more information or to request an adoption application (required), please contact the dog's foster listed above. There is no commitment by submitting the application - it just helps us determine if the pet you are interested in will be a good match for you. Next is a meet and greet at one of our adoption events - typically held on Saturdays at the Petsmart in Chandler, AZ (Ray Rd & I-10). Not every pet is at every event so please contact us first to find out when and where you can meet the pet you are interested in. If there are other dogs in your household, we suggest bringing them to ensure everyone gets along. The standard adoption fee for dogs and puppies is $140 (cash or check) which includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, microchip and collar/tags.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roscoe, a Chandler Poodle (Miniature)/Bichon Frise dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature)/Bichon Frise for sale in Chandler, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature)/Bichon Frise dog from a breeder in Chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Miniature)/Bichon Frise breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature)/Bichon Frise rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

Driving home yesterday, I was listening to Hockey Buzz columnist Andy Strickland commenting on forward Brad Boyes of the St. Louis Blues. Strickland's a fairly good columnist, he breaks stories sometimes and of all Eklund's writers he's probably the one most worth listening to, but he said something that struck me as ridiculous: that Boyes wasn't scoring clutch goals any more, and that it was visible from his drop in game-winning goals, from 10 to two.
When I got home I decided to see if that was the case, by seeing if Boyes' game-winners had dropped off more than his goal-scoring, I did that by figuring out what percentage of Boyes' goals were game-winners since the lockout. All seasons are pro-rated over 82 games.
Season | Goals | % Game Winners |
2005-06 | 26 | 11.5% |
2006-07 | 17 | 11.8% |
2007-08 | 43 | 20.9% |
2008-09 | 33 | 33.3% |
2009-10 | 16 | 20.0% |
The interesting thing to note about that list is how close the percentage from this season matches the percentage from Boyes' breakout 43-goal year; it's virtually unchanged.
But that got me thinking about game-winning goals in general. Strickland went on about how he doesn't want the guy on his team who scores the sixth goal in a 6-1 win (seems to me that 6-1 wins are plenty rare that guys aren't padding their stats with those sorts of goals, but I digress) but I'm not at all convinced that game-winning goals do a good job of showing clutch scoring. For instance, consider a game between Team X and Team Y; Team X takes a commanding three goal lead but Team Y comes back and scores two in the third, losing 3-2. The game-winning goal would go to the player who scored the third goal for Team X, despite the fact that four of those goals were clutch and the only guy getting awarded the game-winner was the one who didn't score a clutch goal.
In any case, I decided to put my theory about game-winning goals to a small test. I took all of the players who scored 20 or more goals in both 2007-08 and 2008-09 as my sample set. There was a very weak correlation between players that scored a high percentage of game winners relative to total goal-scoring year over year (.103) but almost to the point of irrelevance.
There's a lot of noise there, and I'd guess that the correlation has more to do with players on good teams scoring more game-winners than with anything else. I'm actually a believer in clutch scoring; I just don't think game-winning goals express clutch scoring very well.

I had a lovely letter from a man who I now know lives in my homelands! No gonewild pics.... yet. The box was filled with packing peanuts (success, I can eat them when food runs out!).
Surrounded by these foamy shapes, were the following (awesome) items:
A water expandable pole dancer (I actually know many pole dancers, they will love this!)
A tardis mug with lid (I spill tea/coffee/water/piss over myself all the time when drinking, so this is a huge boon!)
A £50 notes door wedge (finally, I can convince people that I am not a peasant sheep farmer from Wales!)
I now know (sorta) the identity of my secret santa, and I think that I have gained at least a great acquaintance. Perhaps this relationship is destined for more, it just depends how fast my PI finds his location. Or if the hitman finds him first. I don't know why I sent both, I just hoped that competition might drive their searches forward.
Now, I must have a bath with my pole dancer ;)

In Concert: Esperanza Spalding
By Mike Joyce
Esperanza Spalding had the best seat in the house at the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday night. Shedding her jacket and scarf moments after the lights went down, the 25 year old jazz bassist-vocalist sat at a corner table onstage, tossed off her heels and poured herself a glass of wine. A few sips later, still barefoot, she led her Chamber Music Society ensemble through an imaginatively arranged collection of tunes that not only showcased her remarkable vocal range but her gift for infusing ballads with a soulful or dreamy aura.
While the show opened on a theatrical note, what immediately won the crowd over was sheer musicality. When singing or scatting, Spalding often reveled in the tricky intervals associated with be-bop, but her phrasing was more syncopated and spirited, sometimes bringing to mind the likes of Al Jarreau and Flora Purim. When playing upright bass, Spalding seldom took on the conventional role of underpinning the chord progressions. Instead, she used the instrument to frame and echo her vocals or to provide a resounding pulse for modal interludes. Meanwhile, the cozy ensemble sound (bass, viola, violin and cello) grew in size and texture, with the addition of vocalists, keyboards and drums.
A dissonant edge distinguished some of the music, but a hushed rendering Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Inutil Paisagem" was pure enchantment (thanks in part to guest vocalist Gretchen Parlato), and keyboardist Leo Genovese found numerous ways to subtly tweak the arrangements. Spalding also performed moving--and vocally challenging--renditions of "Wild Is The Wind" and "Apple Blossom."
Presented by the Washington Performing Arts Society, the concert ended as it began. Spalding retrieved her shoes, wrapped her jacket and sweater around her, and walked offstage to a richly deserved standing ovation.

Everyone on stage was a talented musician, but the one word in this review that resonates is DISSONANT. If that's your cup of tea, you would have loved the show. If not, you were, like me, hoping for an intermission as an opportunity to escape. There was no intermission and no polite way to escape.
