"I've been coming to the west coast of Vancouver Island for nearly 35 years," said Bob Rigdon. We were coming back from a morning of fishing at the South Bank on the Salmon Princess. Bob was on a two day fishing trip with his son Brian. Both Bob and Brian were visiting from the Lower Mainland.
"I have been fishing off and on with the Canadian Princess Resort for decades. I always request Keith as my Skipper too," shared Bob.
Bob had invited his son Brian to fish with him in Ucluelet a few years ago. At the last minute Brian had to cancel the trip. A stroke of good luck allowed Brian to take his Dad on this special father-son trip.
"I won $10,000 on a quick hit slot machine in Abbotsford! I thought this would be the greatest way to make it up to my Dad for missing out on that fishing trip a few years ago," shared Brian Rigdon. "I was able to take my Dad on this trip with some of the winnings. We're having a great time!"
Both father and son had another stroke of good luck on the water that morning. Brian landed a coho and a decent sized halibut. Bob also caught a good halibut and at the last minute reeled up a very nice Chinook salmon.
"It was near the end of the trip and my back was starting to get sore so I decided to sit down for a while. Then I thought to drop my line again at the last minute. It was literally the 11th hour when I brought up this nice 13lbs salmon," shared Bob with a smile.
The conversation on the Salmon Princess went on and I learned that Bob used to take trips up to Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) in the 1970's. He fished with Oak Bay Marine Group's Salmon Seeker for many years. When the Canadian Princess Resort opened in Ucluelet he started taking trips out to the west coast of Vancouver Island instead.
Bob's Chinook salmon was the biggest salmon caught that morning on the Salmon Princess. Way to go!
It is people like Bob and Brian Rigdon that make the Canadian Princess Resort such an incredible place. Being able to help create a lifetime of fishing memories, the opportunity for families to bond, and to be a part of their adventure is so special to us.
We hope to be there for many more years as you embark on west coast adventures, reel in the catch of the day, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Bored with Dog Mountain in the Gorge? Why not think about kicking it up a notch for something almost twice as long with over 4000 feet of gain (that isn't named Defiance or Ruckel). Just to the north of Dog is Augspurger Mountain that can be accessed from the Dog Mountain trailhead via the aptly named Augspurger Mountain Trail. This Gorge hike is much less traveled (slightly overgrown just after it branches off from Dog Mountain) and you still get to see a plethora of wildflowers in season through a series of about 10 small open ridges and meadows along the way. Yes, you use a forest road for a short distance and you do cross under some power lines but you won't have to deal with the masses of tourons on this hike. You'll be lucky if you see anyone. The summit doesn't have the views of Dog but this one is satisfying in its own way nonetheless.
There really currently is only one way to hike this one although there are plans to extend the trail from the current terminus of the trail in a gravel pit on the north side of the peak to
Getting There
From Portland, the quickest way is to take I-84 east to the Cascade Locks exit (#44). Take the Bridge of the Gods ($1 toll) across the Columbia River and turn right onto Washington Highway 14. Head east on Hwy 14 for 12 miles. Between mileposts 53 and 54, the large Dog Mountain Trailhead parking lot is on the left. The drive should take you about an hour to an hour and twenty minutes from Portland.If you don't want to deal with the toll, just take either I5 or I-205 from Portland across the Columbia to Highway 14 and go east to the same point. It is slower and takes longer to do this though (maybe 20 minutes more).
If you are coming from the east you will either be on Highway 14 in Washington or Interstate 84 and you take it to the same place, the Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks, OR.
Cool maps that might help you out.
Red Tape
Northwest Forest Pass is required to park at the trailhead. If you do not already have an annual pass, you can get those at most outdoor stores in the area (GI Joe's, REI, etc). You can also purchase a day pass at the trailhead (self-service station there).Camping
Camping is not allowed. This is a day hike anyway. It's doubtful anyone will drive from any distance to stay here and climb Dog Mountain but if needed, there are motels in nearby Stevenson, WA and Hood River, OR as well as Cascade Locks, OR.When To Climb
Year round, snowshoes helpful in winter.

Mar 9th 2012 12:28PM Would multiple character migrations be something Blizz would ever try do you think?
I've got two characters I really want to change realm with to join a friend, but the thought of that amount of cash isn't a good one.

Dragon Soul Power of the Aspects buff to increase next week {WoW}
Feb 23rd 2012 10:25AM My money is still on an August release.
Press Event in March showing all the new info that we've been waiting for since October, so that leads me to believe they have an almost working version of the expansion to show off, or near enough, to make up for 5 months of no news.
Beta, I think will then most likely start in April, possibly beginning of May. The final release being around August.
That's my predictions anyway.
World of Warcraft subscriber numbers dip 100,000 to 10.2 million {WoW}
Feb 10th 2012 5:01AM I'm not really surprised, the game is in a lull at the moment, mostly due to the current expansion. The problem was so many resources were spent revamping the old content and so not enough was put into actually making an expansion.
Cataclysm has felt very patchwork, made up of vague plot points and encounters and headed up by a villain we barely saw doing anything (other than randomly flying around flaming things out of boredom.)
With the loss of subscriptions and negativity we've seen lately towards the idea of Pandaren, it's really up to Blizzard to pull out some incredible gameplay and story for MoP.
1 million people signed up for the WoW Annual Pass {WoW}
Feb 10th 2012 4:51AM Slightly curious as to how many of those 1million actually now regret it. I've spoken to so many players and seen so many posts on the Forums from people who signed up for the annual pass and then promptly regretted it a short time later.
Gotta love impulse buying!
I didn't get it. I'm really bored at the moment with an inactive guild and nothing much to play for, so I'm unsubscribing and saving my money until MoP comes out.
I don't think WoW is dying like is being said by people doing an amazing impression of Twilight Cultists...I think WoW has hit a slum. After about 7 years of the same core game mechanics a lot of people have become a bit bored. But this is also a good thing, because this gives Blizz a kick up the arse to really make MoP the best expansion yet!
Breakfast Topic: Is silence golden in PUGs? {WoW}
Feb 9th 2012 9:26AM "At the beginning of the patch, when the content is fresh and new and (in some cases) difficult, puggers are talkative, helpful and generally more friendly."
Maybe the American servers are alot nicer than the EU servers, but I've rarely had that even on patch launch day. Most of the time the people are impatient, rude, arrogant, immature and very, very abusive.
MMO Roundup: SWTOR nets 1.7 million subscribers {WoW}
Feb 8th 2012 4:53AM Having played WoW for 6 years and currently having an inactive guild and being a little bored I decided to check out SW, as I'm a huge SW fan anyway.
I love it, I've only been played for a week and a half but I'm addicted. I've been playing almost every night for a couple of hours after work, got my Sith Assassin up to level 22. I love the story and the worlds are beautiful. I love that I actually feel like I have a character with a story and a personality. It's not just a case like in WoW where I have to imagine what my character's personality is like, despite making the same decisions as every other played in every quest. With this, I actually have choices that affect what I have to do or how my character is percieved. It's incredible.
Though WoW was always the winner with End Game content, I'll be interested in how this holds up. My big problem with Cataclysm was none of the raids excited me, they were just far too much of the same old stuff and it became boring. I'm hoping MoP changes this. Otherwise that's one way I can see SW taking the lead.
Mists of Pandaria news coming in March with press sneak peek {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2012 4:48AM I need to dig up my comment where I predicted the next time we'd have more info regarding the expansion would be in March!
New info in March, Public Beta beginning in May, Expansion release August/September.
I think I'll let my sub expire at the end of this month and just wait until the release. Pretty bored as it is. Logged on for the first time in a week last night and straight away wanted to log off and play SWTOR.
Here's hoping the info in March is a lot more exciting than the first announcement!
Breakfast Topic: Do you put WoW on display? {WoW}
Jan 31st 2012 9:34AM I only advertise something I'm a fan of. I loved the remake of BSG, so I have a BSG belt buckle. Batman is my favourite comic to read, so I have a Batman t-shirt and hoodie.
WoW has been my favourite game for the last 6 years or so. I love the stories, the lore, the comics, everything about the game. So I have WoW t-shirts, hoodies and even a Horde neck pendant.
I'm planning on getting a Frostmourne tattoo as part of my sleave design. Because even though I'm now finding myself becoming slightly bored with playing it, WoW has been an important part of my gaming life for so long. And I like to remember and show, that I will always be a WoW Geek even after I stop playing.

Brain Differences In Liberals and Conservatives
Re:Not very liberal minded of you (1248 comments)
"Assume everyone can potentially be either, and doll out rights and protections accordingly."
It is a good thing the founders of the United States saw rights as pre-existing and not something to dole out based on the understanding that people can potentially be victims or criminals.
"It's a fallacy to believe that criminals can never be victims, and victims can never be criminals."
I am not certain anyone is suggesting that. I will suggest, however, that the vast majority of lawful gun owners do not turn into victimizers. How many legal, privately owned firearms are in the United States? 100 million? 200 million? How many of those legally owned firearms are used in crimes?
Granted, we have an appalling level of violence in this country, and much is perpetrated with firearms. But of that gun violence, the majority is considered criminal-on-criminal, using illegally obtained firearms.

10 lbs Pale Malt 0.75 lbs Crystal 90L 1 lb Roasted Barley 0.5 lbs Chocolate Malt 1.125 lbs Oatmeal (1 small tin, use the 1 min. oats) 0.5 lb Rice hulls 0.5 lb Cocoa powder (in mash) 72 fl.oz. organic cherry juice concentrate (SG = 1.240, added to secondary) 0.25 lb Cocoa powder (added to secondary) 2 Vanilla Beans sliced down the center and suspended in the fermenter with fishing line. In the past I have used vanilla extract added at bottling instead. .75 oz Bravo Hops (pellet, 11.3%AA) 45 min .5 oz East Kent Golding Hops (whole, 6.3%AA) 30 min .5 oz East Kent Golding Hops 10 min Mashed first group of ingredients (Pale Malt --> 0.5 lb cocoa powder) 45 min. in 4 gal water at 157*F. 1/2 gal mash out and 4 gal sparge. Boiled and added hops per recipe. Produced 4.5 gal at 1.069. Fermented 4 days, then added cherry juice concentrate. Fermented 10 more days, then racked and added vanilla beans. Bulk aged 55 days before bottling. __________________________________________________ _____________ I have made versions of this recipe four times, learning from mistakes made in the first two batches before hitting on using the cherry juice concentrate. The third and fourth versions were pretty similar. The concentrate contributes a bunch of fermentable sugar, and the cherry flavor is much more prominent than when I have used whole fruit in the past. Adding the cocoa to the mash seems to infuse the beer with a "deeper" chocolate flavor than I have gotten when I added it to the secondary. The addition at the secondary gives a different quality. This beer ages very well; the last bottle of the previous batch was opened alongside one of the first bottle of this years.
This sounds interesting and tasty. Where do you get the cherry juice concentrate and have you tried it with something like raspberry as well?
thinking about brewing something similar this weekend. Did you use a 'tart' cherry concentrate? Or the other one I see on the web is black cherry concentrate.
I used Black Cherry Juice Concentrate. I got it from the grocery store juice aisle. I have not tried this recipe with any other fruit. In fact the only other fruit that I can think of having fermented off-hand is prickly pear fruit that I put in a mead.
This looks amazing - I've been wanting to brew the Stone version since I heard about it and this seems like the way to go! How prominent is the cherry flavor with that concentrate? I feel like I want to just be able to tell that its there, but not be overpowering.
Looks great, can't wait to try! If you had to pick a yeast because you didn't have some already, any advice? Also, instead of vanilla beans, how much vanilla extract would you put in? Or, why not use extract? Cheers
I am making this tomorrow. I have most of my ingredients. I am a little worried about the cherry juice though. That sounds like a sh*t-load of concentrated juice. The website says one 8 oz bottle makes 32 oz of 100% cherry juice. That means that 72 oz of this stuff is enough to make 2.25 GALLONS of 100% cherry juice! Is this correct? Other than that is sounds delicious.

Assault suspect
held without bail
LANDGROVE Police on Thursday arrested a Londonderry man who was accused of assaulting his father last week.
Jacob Johnson, 22, of Londonderry, is being held without bail and is expected to be arraigned today in Bennington criminal court on felony first-degree aggravated domestic assault.
Police said Jacobs father, Frank Johnson, 40, reported March 10 that his son had caused him severe injuries in an assault at his Landgove home.
Frank Johnson later told police that Jacob Johnson had been drinking before they argued. The father said his son began to choke him until Jacobs girlfriend, Elizabeth Merrill, 19, of Londonderry interfered.
Frank Johnson said he asked his 9-year-old son, Timothy Johnson, to call police but Merrill allegedly stopped the boy.
Police said Jacob Johnson began assaulting his father again, punching him repeatedly in the head and face. Timothy jumped on top of his father to protect him, which cause Jacob Johnson to stop, police said.
When officers arrived, Jacob Johnson was gone.
Police arrested Merrill, who pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to charges of providing police with false information and interference with access to emergency services. She was jailed on $15,000 bail.
Police said they received numerous leads Thursday on Jacob Johnsons location. He was tracked to a home on Plain Street in Rutland by officers from Vermont State Police and Rutland City Police.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full StoryPolice are looking for a hit-and-run driver.

Lately the "culture of death" rhetoric has been heating up among many conservative commentators in reference to the issue of Obama's lifting the ban on stem cell research. This has become yet another occasion for many to rail against abortion as the great moral evil of our time. Now, I don't really actually disagree with this, and I'll have some more words on this shortly, but I think Eugene McCarraher makes the ultimately important point about this sort of reflexive rhetoric of opposition to abortion in an interview from a couple years back in the Other Journal:
As for abortion, I think we have to stop seeing it as the primary culprit in a culture of death. Abortion becomes conceivable as a moral practice once we take individual autonomy as the beau ideal of the self; but to recognize that is, if we're logical, to indict not only abortion but also our cherished idyll of choice or freedom. But that, then, is to indict capitalism, which employs a similar language of sovereignty both to legitimate itself and to obscure the remarkable lack of creative freedom at work. I know that I'll catch a lot of hell for saying this, but I think that a lot of opposition to abortion is sheer moral sentimentality which turns the fetus into a fetish. (You'll notice that I think fetishism of some sort or other is a pretty salient feature of the contemporary American moral imagination.) Many of the same people who oppose abortion are champions of laissez-faire capitalism, and they either don't see or don't care to see the linguistic and cultural affinities between themselves and the pro-choice advocates they fight. They'll retort that capitalism doesn't kill anyone in its normal operations, but first, that's just not true—capitalism has never been instituted or maintained anywhere, not even in the North Atlantic, without considerable coercion and violence—and second, it doesn't matter, because the exercise of market autonomy has devastating effects on individuals and communities regardless of whether or not they wind up dead. ("Yeah, the company cut your medical benefits or cut your job or left your town a mess, but hey, you're still alive!") When I say this, a lot of people retort that I'm changing the subject. In one way, yes, I am, but for a reason—because I want them to see that it is the same subject in a different guise. Talking about abortion is a way of not talking about the autonomous individual, the latest ideological guise of libido dominandi, discussion of which would topple quite a few idols and not just reproductive choice.
Long story short, you can't rail about abortion and in the same breath deploy your theology to legitimate capitalism.

Since well over 90% of all fatal bus accidents are from senior citizens being transported to casinos, it seems to me an easier solution would be to start putting casinos in old folk homes.

Caring for Male Clients Across the Generations
By: Rhonda Allison
Posted: July 1, 2013, from the July 2013 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 4
1. Cleanse. It's important to talk to men about the process, including how to do it and for how long.
2. Exfoliate. Men are already doing this with their daily shave—they just need to extend the process to the rest of their face. Talk with clients about frequency and the proper pressure to use when applying.
3. Protect. Zinc oxide, along with skin-fortifying antioxidants, helps guard against free radical damage, nourish the skin and prevent premature aging. Be sure to end every treatment with a protective element.
Also, talk with clients about how their lifestyle can impact the health of their skin. Getting adequate sleep, not smoking, eating less sugar and more fresh foods, keeping stress at bay and exercising can significantly improve the appearance of the skin.
An emphasis on education
When working with male clients, keep in mind your biggest asset will be education. Not only educating yourself on the nuances of men's skin, and the ingredients and treatments that work best for them, but also arming them with this knowledge. Once they understand, they are more likely to adopt proper skin care methods, become loyal clients and make their skin care purchases from your retail area.

Martinelli Winery
The Martinelli family are part of the historical fiber of the Russian River Valley. They have been growing grapes and apples in Sonoma since 1887, planting their first Pinot Noir in 1970. The family patriarch is Guiseppe Martinelli who made his way to California to find land and to start a winery at the age of 19. He planted the now famous Jackass Hill Vineyard which is the steepest non-terraced vineyard in Sonoma County. When Guiseppe died, he left his spouse Luisa with four children. The youngest son, Leno, was determined to be a farmer and carry on the family tradition and after finishing school, farmed the Jackass Hill Vineyard. The name came from the fact that others said that only a jackass would farm a hill so steep. Leno continued to work the land and tend vines until 1949 at the age of 89 and turned the vineyard over to his son, Lee Sr. Lee Sr. began planting vineyards in the Russian River Valley after taking over managment of his uncle Tony Bondi's estate. Two historic hop barns that grace the estate property were converted into a tasting room and winery and, the Martinellis began producing Pinot Noir under their own label in 1993, with Helen Turley as the winemaker. She introduced new viticultural and cellar practices to the Martinelli family and all new vineyards were planted with the consultation of John Welaufer and Helen Turley. Over time, older vineyards have been transitioned to high-density plantings. Lee Martinelli, Sr. along with his two sons, Lee Jr. and George, oversees the management of the Martinelli family vineyards. The Martinellis farm 300 acres of vineyards in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations. 75 acres are planted to Pinot Noir. Bryan Kvamme a University California Davis-trained winemaker was Turley's assistant at Martinelli Winery beginning in 1997, and became the winemaker beginning in 2008 (with Turley as consulting winemaker). Current production is 7,500 cases which includes nine Pinot Noirs (Bella Vigna, Blue Slide Ridge, Bondi Home Ranch, Martinelli Vineyard Reserve, Mooshine Ranch, Russian River Valley, Seven Mules Vineyard, Three Sisters Vineyard and Zio Tony Ranch). Other varieties include the well-known Jackass Vineyard Zinfandels, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Alexandria and Gewüztraminer. The Martinellis first planted Pinot Noir in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA in 1995 (about the time they began producing wine under the family name). Lee Martinelli Jr.'s grandfather, George Charles, planted Chardonnay here in 1981. The Pinot Noirs are bold, fruit-driven and highly structured wines. They are sold primarily through a mailing list with some wines available through the tasting room. A tasting room, located in the Martinelli's historic Hop Barn is open daily from 10:00 to 5:00. 3360 River Road, Windsor. An adjacent hop barn has been converted into a winery. 707-525-0570. The wines are sold through a mailing list with some bottlings available at the tasting room. Articles About Martinelli Winery

In this clip from "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami," Khloe is "freaking out" because her husband, Lamar Odom, has "never seen" her lady bits without a bikini wax. The horrors! Luckily Kourtney is down for waxing her sister's bikini line so as not to offend Lamar's delicate eyes. That's sisterhood for you. I think? [Styleite]

Corrections to John and Wm Evans
Hi David,
I have been researching the Evans Cemeteries in Pineville Kentucky and find there are 4 family cemeteries with the name Evans. There names, general location, and known burials can all be found at the Bell County Library website address of http://www.bellcolib.org/cemeteries.htm. They are known as Evans, Evans 2, Evans 3, and Evans 4 Cemeteries. These names are in common use on other cemetery sites as well. You have posted a memorial to John Evans (# 112106836) and Wm H. Evans (# 112106128) to the Evans Cemetery site. I have taken the information from the Bell County Library pages and created the Evans 2, 3 & 4 sites. In doing so, my research shows John and Wm to be buried at Evans 3 (This can be verified through several sites if needed). Before finding your memorial, I setup memorials for John and Wm under the #'s 128532260 and 128524687 on the Evans 3 Cemetery site. I would like to merge our memorials and place them in what I believe is the proper location. Of course, this would mean deleting the ones you have setup. I have never done a true "merging" of memorials, but if nothing else I would be willing to copy your information into mine and give you credit of course. I too, have posted photo requests for these individuals. Please take a look at the memorials and the bell county webpage and let me know if you agree and maybe together we can help other researchers. Thank you for your time, Darrell Lewis. (3rd great-grandson to Wm Evans)

RE: Relative......?
Hi David,
I just got a death certificate from my gr-gr-grampa Wm Chaney's daughter which had her father's birth place as Jefferson County, Tn. that's the second document that says this. One of his Confederate Documents says also that he was born in Jefferson County. I always heard that he was born in Grainger County. I always thought that the Roane County Chaneys were related to the Jefferson County Chaneys. I had my DNA done. I'm really anxious to see the results of a male Chaney from Jefferson County. I think that would confirm it. My Gr-Grampa Alexander was born in Roane Co., but married a gal (Nancy Evelyn Bettis) from Jefferson County. I always wondered how he met her. I could only imagine that he was visiting relatives in Jefferson at the time. The Bettis family lived close to the Chaneys at the time in Jefferson.
Let me know if and when you or another Chaney from Jefferson gets their DNA done.

Hello again, I will go ahead and attach Paul to his mother. But I think I will hold off until we can prove his father. A picture of his mother's gravemarker would be nice, maybe the father's name would be on the same stone. Thank you for pointing out the connection.

PUNE: The Right to Information (RTI) Act is once again on the Congress's radar. After Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed apprehension over the Act, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan has attributed the slow pace of his government to the feather in UPA's cap.
The chief minister, accused of being a 'slow mover' when it comes to clearing files and taking policy decisions, said in Pune on Monday that because of the RTI Act any file could become public and hence he has to go slow on decision-making and
scrutinise each and every document.
"As chief minister I have to take many decisions and you have seen the consequences of one wrong signature," Chavan said, indirectly referring to the Adarsh scam which was exposed after an RTI query and had forced Ashok Chavan's ouster from the CM's post.
"Now with the RTI in force, all files could be accessed by anyone and that's why one has to be very cautious," he added at a Congress rally in the city.
A section of the Congress ministers and party leaders, along with alliance partner Nationalist Congress Party, has repeatedly questioned Chavan's 'slow pace' and even complained to their high commands about his slow style of clearing files.
"When I came to Maharashtra, the atmosphere was murky for the party. Soniaji had given me clear directions. There was a gloomy mood in the administration, works were halted and the overall atmosphere was not healthy. I was directed to bring stability and negate the negativity," Chavan said.
He claimed that he has succeeded in the task. "Now there is stability and works have started. But any single mistake can cost heavily and, hence, we are cautious. The Congress introduced the RTI Act to bring transparency in administration and governance. But there are people who seek information even from the Prime Minister's office. This was not possible before the Act was introduced."
Chavan referred to the March 25 note, 'seen' by Union minister Pranab Mukherjee, which became a weapon in the hands of the opposition and the government's detractors like Subramanian Swamy because it suggested that jailed DMK leader and former Union minister A. Raja would have been forced to cancel allocation of 2G licences if the finance ministry under P. Chidambaram had insisted on auctioning the 2G spectrum.
"There are many decisions which involved error of judgment and no one imagined that the RTI would bring these decisions to public view. With all the information suddenly becoming public, there is a perception that all mismanagements are happening now. Some of our colleagues were punished severely after such information came out," said Chavan, without naming Congress MP Suresh Kalmadi and former chief minister Ashok Chavan.
Chavan's objections on the RTI have the backdrop of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's speech last month. Addressing the annual convention of the Central Information Commission in New Delhi, Singh endorsed the concerns of his ministerial colleagues over the Right to Information, saying that the transparency enabler should not adversely affect deliberations in the government and deter honest officials from expressing their views on file. While hailing the RTI's extensive use and underlining his government's intent to strengthen the law, the PM said that there was a need to strike a fine balance between the need for information and the vexatious demands that did not have a bearing on public interest. He cautioned that making a point of view public in an 'isolated manner' may present a distorted picture of how a decision was arrived. "The RTI should not affect deliberative processes in the government," Singh said.BOX
RTI unease
Till recently, the Congress leaders have regularly touted the RTI Act, along with the rural employment guarantee scheme, to burnish their pro-people credentials. But the transparency measure seems to have boomeranged, going by the unease of senior ministers like M Veerappa Moily and Salman Khurshid that the RTI is revealing more than it should.
The law came into being, despite misgivings of the bureaucracy and politicians, due to the strong impetus provided by Sonia Gandhi. But it has become a thorn in the flesh for a government reeling under corruption scandals. The RTI revelation on the finance ministry's controversial 2G note blaming home minister P Chidambaram for not insisting on auctioning the spectrum has proved the last straw for the government.
Law minister Salman Khurshid has said that the RTI was affecting the functioning of the government when it reveals confidential communication between a minister and the PM. The 2G and Commonwealth Games graft cases have seen reams of documents being made public. This has helped in maintaining pressure on government not to go slow in investigations. Media reports have also been taken note of by courts in deciding whether investigations were to be monitored.
Moily had also said that the RTI was being misused and incorrect inferences were drawn from such disclosures. He said this would lead to officers hesitating to work and hiding information.
The government has tried to prune the RTI earlier also but the effort saw it at odds with the Sonia-led National Advisory Council.
Despite the accolades that the RTI has received and Sonia's support for it, it seems that the government is turning conservative over how the law is to be used as letters and documents have been used as politically flammable material by the opposition that has targeted the government.

Now that's gotta hurt. UK street artist The Decapitator set about making a wackadoodle pop culture statement when he cut off Shakira's head. Posters featuring the cover of the November issue of Rolling Stone were decimated in this rather gory fashion. Not satisfied with this New York City sidewalk prank, the guerrilla artist produced fake copies of the magazine featuring the headless, bloody pop star and surreptitiously planted them in the racks of the Union Square Barnes & Noble. Check out the full hot mess after the jump.

Richmond, Surrey -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/25/2012 -- Weight loss boot camps are commonplace; a week away somewhere, being put through the paces with the aim of shifting a few pounds. Now enter a boot camp retreat that will also turn back the metabolic clock! The new REVIVAL boot camp is taking a different approach to rapid weight loss. The primary focus at this retreat in North Devon is to kick-start people's weight loss regime by literally shaving years off your metabolic age.
Metabolic age – as opposed to one's calendar age - is a reflection of physical health in the form of a calculation based on base metabolic rate (BMR). It tells somebody how quickly their body processes food and burns calories when resting. Metabolisms naturally slow down as we age, which often leads to weight gain. Therefore, the younger one's metabolic age, the easier one will find it to lose weight and more importantly to keep it off!
Upon arrival at REVIVAL boot camp, attendees are given an in depth assessment, which includes weight, measurements and heart rate (at rest and after exercise). This information is then used to calculate a person's BMR, and from that, their metabolic age. Clearly the higher the age, the slower the metabolism and therefore the harder it is to lose weight and keep it off.
Following the initial assessment, guests will then be put through a daily routine of exercise designed to speed up the metabolism. Up to seven hours of exercise will be built in to each day led by top Royal Marine PTIs. In additional to the exercise plan, all meals will be prepared by the in house chef and designed by a trained nutritionist to both control calorie intake and give provide sufficient nourishment to boost attendees 'energy levels.
All clients who come to REVIVAL boot camp are also provided with a digital device called a Fitbit which monitors one's steps taken per day, miles travelled, calories burned and minutes/hours of quality sleep achieved. Sleep is an important contributor to an individual's overall health and well-being and can have a significant impact on metabolic rate. The data collected from each Fitbit is then analysed throughout the week and used by the trainers to adapt the exercise and meal plan for each individual accordingly. The results are that only do clients shift the pounds, lose vital inches and lower their metabolic age but they go home with easy to use common sense tools to keep up the new regime with the continuing support of the REVIVAL team.
REVIVAL boot camp founder, Gerry Copley-Smith, says; "Guests are often quite shocked when their metabolic age is revealed. In many cases, especially when an individual has struggled to lose weight in the past, their metabolic age is far higher than their actual age. We had a lady in her 30s whose metabolic age was in the 50s. The result gave her quite a shock, but by the end of the week she had taken ten years off her metabolic age and had lost the weight she'd struggled to shift for years."
About REVIVAL Boot Camp
REVIVAL offers two different types of UK boot camps. The Classic option is located in the heart of the stunning North Devon countryside where clients stay in a beautifully renovated 13th century farmhouse. A prestige boot camp is also available and is located between Exmoor and Dartmoor where clients can enjoy 5 star boutique bedrooms and undisturbed silence.

Hair Removal Treatments
Processes of Hair Elimination
By: Abby Penning
Posted: November 25, 2008, from the December 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 8
Much of the recent news in electric hair removal tends to center on laser treatments however, as the method is growing considerably in popularity. One reason for this, according to Louis Silberman, founder of the National Laser Institute, is the cost restrictions are actually a lot less than they used to be. "Laser is more mainstream because it became affordable to the masses," he says. "Before, machines were costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, so spas had to price treatments outrageously just to pay for the equipment. Now that the machines are more affordable, more people are coming to see laser as a better hair removal option."
Weighing monthly waxing services versus six months of laser treatments, many are also finding a cost benefit in electric hair removal. "The average consumer is doing their homework now, and they can see that laser hair removal can be cheaper in the long term than waxing," Silberman says. The upfront time and cost expense is something these clients are willing to forfeit now in order to reap the benefits later.
But to go electric, should you choose electrolysis or laser treatments? Brown says you don't have to decide, explaining that the methods can work in harmony. "Laser doesn't treat white, gray or colorless hairs because it responds to the melanin coloring in the hair," she says. "Electrolysis can treat any color, so using laser to do the larger sections, and then going back and getting the grey or white hairs with electrolysis works well, but electrolysis isn't as feasible for large areas. It is good for smaller areas, such as the eyebrows, because you do have to go into each follicle one by one. That makes it difficult to do electrolysis on the full legs and back."
However, some clients still may be skittish at the thought of doing away with hair forever. Silberman recommends weighing the options and helping your client to pick and choose a selection that is right for them. "Trends do change, so some people are nervous that they won't like not having the hair when that happens," he says. "But then they can choose what they do want permanently gone—like the underarms or the bikini area."
Permanent hair removal isn't only of interest to women, however. "More men are interested in laser hair removal and we recommend them to an area plastic surgeon who offers it," says Dayan. This, of course, brings up the need for training and professionalism when offering these high-tech services. In many states across the nation, laser use in the spa setting is still unregulated. However, for best results, training is a must. When people start zapping around without knowing what they're doing, Silberman warns, injuries can happen, and you can quickly turn a loyal client into an angry one. Invest in training before offering these laser and electrolysis services because it will pay off later.

I've got some Virginia snakeroot (Aristolochia serpentaria) seed from this year's harvest to share with the membership for the price of postage. This is a native host plant for the pipevine swallowtail. It requires shade, rich soil, and moderate moisture. It is cold hardy to Zone 4 and is native as far south as Florida.
Contact me with your mailing address and I'll get a packet of seed sent your way. Rod A. |

Anytime you get those roots dug, I'm ready and I'd love a couple of packets of seeds. For those of you who don't know, Rod also has roots available. They are terrific! Sandy in OK |
I second and third that. The plants I got from Rod have brought in more Pipevine Swallowtails than I've ever had with my A. durior. This year, all that's left of my VA Snakeroot is stems. |
Well, I have just sent in an order for some plants, but you know that I would take some free seed any time at all! Very generous of you Rod! Maybe you can toss some in with my order?~~Angie |

I'd also love a packet of seeds, Rod! Amen to only stems left this year. The PVS's ate everything, including the little seedlings. Also need heads up when roots are ready, Rod, if you can. I planted mine in fall the last time, and they do so well then, putting out their roots during the winter. Susan |
I'm wondering, those of you who got these seeds, have they sprouted for you? I winter sowed mine in the fall and I have yet to see anything, but I don't know if they are just late to germinate, nor do I know what the seedlings look like, so I can look out for them and pull the weeds I think are sprouting in the jugs. Karen |
I'd love some seeds! The PVST this year are...well, I've never seen them so numerous in this area! I saw one cruising around this morning doing that thing they do when looking for the host plant. I told her NO, don't you dare...I can't adequately feed the cats I have now! Next year maybe I'll be better prepared! |

Out of one bag of seeds, I have 40 nice plants. Sandy |
Sandy--Did they take a long time to sprout for you when you planted them? Karen |
- Posted by butterflymomok (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 11 at 21:28
Yes, after I removed them from stratifying in the fridge for 4 months, it took about a month for them to germinate. Sandy |
It's been a cold spring, so I've been wondering if all they need is for it to be warm and then they'll sprout. We're supposed to be getting more spring-like temperatures this week and a bit less rain. Hopefully the warmer weather will wake those seeds and I'll start seeing some VS sprouts instead of weeds! And maybe my other jugs that have nothing in them will start sprouting too. Karen |
- Posted by butterflymomok (My Page) on Sun, May 8, 11 at 10:58
Karen, My plants in the garden popped up after everything else did this year. And I still have some little ones continuing to come up. Each plant seems to be on its own time schedule. You are also in a cooler clime than I am. This has been one of the most difficult plants to get established in the garden--right up there with Asclepias variegata! Sandy |

I need to check my Virginia snakeroot for eggs as one poor tattered little pipevine BF laid lots of eggs on one of the pipevines this morning, the first one I've seen this spring. Last year the little Virginia snakeroot plants were eaten to the ground and only put forth a few new leaves after that but this spring, here they are, growing nicely again! I think it would take a big patch to feed a few of the baby pipevine BF's. Mary |

It would, Mary. I usually take the tiny caterpillars and move them over to the Tomentosa. Someone said about 20 Serpentaria plants to feed one caterpillar! But, you can't beat the Serpentaria for bringing the females into the yard to lay eggs. sandy |

The seeds are slow to germinate, they generally need a period of wet/humid weather before they show themselves. The tiny seedlings/are miniatures of the large mother plants, so beware when weeding that you don't accidentally mistake them for weeds and pull them out! So, for those of you trying to germinate the seed, be patient. I've got two packets of Virginia snakeroot seed left for anyone that wants to give it a try, but I can't vouch for their viability after being in the fridge these many months. Rod A. |

Rod, I would love to try my luck with these. My husband fell in love with the pipevine swallowtail when we were touring Camelot. I would really love to draw them to our garden. I will email you. Thanks so much, |
Thanks to all who replied. I'll be patient. I moved the milk jugs to a more shadier area since we're finally warming up here and that great gas ball in the sky has finally made an appearance, and didn't want to cook the unsprouted seeds. I have several other native perennial seeds that haven't sprouted yet and will keep them over another winter if they don't sprout this year. I've read that some of them may take two years to germinate. Karen |

The last of the Virginia snakeroot seed has been spoken for. Should have more this coming fall, contact me if you want some at that time. Rod A. |

I hear of people doing it both ways. Right now our stone tile floors have thin pieces of paper taped onto them, but the grout is covered in sawdust and the paper is ripping off the floors because of foot traffic. I worry it will get ruined. Thanks. |

Mike Masnick on a jury verdict against Newegg: "Having Whit Diffie (who invented public key cryptography) and Ron Rivest (who basically made it practical in real life) present on your behalf, showing that they did everything prior to Jones' patent, while further showing that what Newegg was doing relied on their work, not Jones', should have ended the case. But…" [TechDirt; Joe Mullin, Ars Technica]

basically, the jury in this case apparently failed in the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. The Government issued this patent, therefore the experts who said the Government was wrong, must be mistaken or lying.
Which isn't true at all. The Patent Office does very little due diligence in determining whether a patent is novel or unique. It is very very possible that the Government issued, especially in software/tech, patents that are invalid on their face.

Once again we see the wisdom of the jury at work.
The lawyers from both teams took in the verdict without emotion and shook hands following the verdict.
Of course, in any lawsuit they are always the winners.
- 3 12.03.13 at 3:18 pm
Having had the pleasure of driving through Marshall not once but twice in the last week, I find it difficult to believe that any lawyer looking to try a complex patent case would want to do so in front of a group of the locals.
I suspect the word in out amongst to good people of Marshall that finding for the plaintiff will continue the largesse of legal tourism, and not to worry for truth and justice because our foolish findings will be dealt with on appeal.

It would be most interesting if someone is able to interview the jurors and find out what their thinking was.
- 5 12.04.13 at 4:27 am
See the following post I wrote for why the jury may have returned the verdict they did:
Though in that post I wrote that the patent was likely valid but that the verdict of infringement was wrong, that may not actually be the case. Though the SSL/TLS specification itself does not directly read on the patent, the renegotiation handshake that can be used to generated new keys does have some implementations that work at least in part in the way the patent describes:
"Renegotiate Period" in:
https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/ssl-profiles-part-6-ssl-renegotiation#.Up7kNpH-jzNRemember that the patent claims are about changing the encryption keys after a predetermined number of blocks (amount of data transmitted/received) and generating such keys using synchronized pseudo-random numbers generators so that one need not transmit such keys. Though the patent was about creating new keys for block ciphers, the claims are broadly written so that they can apply to changing the seed key for stream ciphers as well.
If you actually look at the textbook the defense claimed was prior art (Denning's "Cryptography and Data Security"):
you will find that it only references changing keys with regard to stream patents where the keys change for every bit (if XOR is used from bits in the key stream against bits in the plaintext) and where different keys can be used for different records in a database. It does not talk about different keys for different blocks in a block cipher nor about changing the seed key for a stream cipher nor about generating such keys at both ends using synchronized pseudo-random number generators so that transmission of the changed keys is not needed.
Diffie's testimony made it sound like RC4 was claimed to be prior art at the same time it was claimed to not infringe the patent — you can't have it both ways and in reality RC4 has nothing to do with the patent so couldn't be prior art against it.
From what I can tell, secret key renegotiation exchanges (transmits) the generated keys which is something that would not be needed if the keys were generated as proposed by the patent, but if such keys were generated by synchronized pseudo-random number generators and the transmission was superfluous, then that would still be infringement. At a minimum, it sounds like a gray area.
I'm going to be getting a copy of part of the court transcript and do further research on this — what the press and people posting comments about this say is obviously not the real story. There is so much hyperbole from both sides.

I have a new home and I'm searching for a small, heat resistant tree to plant on my southwest side, in front of a window for some shade. Does anyone have experience with the Lollipop Crab or the Coral Burst Crab? I live in Davis Co. I need something that will stay fairly small (I will be planting in front of the front (middleone w/the arch) window). |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know much about lollipop crabs, but my parents had a coral crabapple for years. The pink blossoms in the spring are breathtaking, and it's a good shade tree that doesn't get too big. However, the fruit is not edible and EXTREMELY messy. The crabapples get stuck to the soles of your shoes if you walk on them, and they seem to get everywhere. But, if you can deal with the mess it may be a good choice for you. |

Know Your Lore: Durotan, son of Garad
Durotan, son of Garad, chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan. A mighty warrior to be certain, yet there is far more to Durotan than what is widely known. Yes, he was a warrior, but he was also a conflicted soul, one who could only watch from the sidelines as the height of orcish civilization crumbled under the influence of the Burning Legion. Durotan may never have fully understood exactly what happened to the orcish race, but it affected him deeply.
Yet Durotan's most notable legacy is his son, Thrall. Found by humans, raised as a gladiator, liberating the orcish race and rallying a new Horde by his side. When Thrall took the new Horde to Kalimdor, he named the land they settled on Durotan, after his father -- a father who likely would have been very proud of his son. In Warlords, we'll see Durotan again -- Horde players will have the unique opportunity to work with this legend of the past, surprisingly alive and well. What kind of orc is Durotan -- and what will he think of his son?

Insane in the Membrane no longer requires Shen'dralar reputation in Cataclysm {WoW}
Nov 10th 2010 5:34PM Being one of those people who has farmed for months and forked out a ton of gold, and is still working on the Shen'dralar rep, I have to say I'm not massively happy about this either. For me, it's such a huge part of the grind that removing it isn't even Insane anymore, just a mere trifling annoyance. They should at least replace it with another tedious and ridiculous grind or remove the title altogether. I just wish they'd kept it so you could still complete the rep if you'd already started doing it which would have made more sense :S

You can change how many seconds between each switch. However, I was told that this counts as automation, and using any type of timed script essentially counts as botting, and you can be banned for this. I asked a GM if he can confirm this, and was basically told that it's a grey area, and since it's only being used for vanity pets then it isn't doing any 'harm', but he wouldn't know if I could get banned or not, and I should try and do some research through fan sites and the official forum. Could you shed any light on this?

Terror 2007
It may be something of a guilty pleasure, but The Sticking Place's annual horror festival at Southwark's Union Theatre is fast becoming one of the highlights of my theatrical year.
The quality might vary from one festival to the next and from show to show, but one thing you can be quite sure of is it will be unlike anything else you can see on the London stage.
For this year's event, the organisers have upped the stakes somewhat with a revival of a 'lost' Noel Coward play - the Better Half - and a new Mark Ravenhill piece - The Ripper - forming two fifths of the line-up.
They nicely illustrate the broad definition of horror which the evening encompasses - in Coward's comedy it is the horror of a loveless marriage, while in Ravenhill's take on the Ripper story, it is Queen Victoria (played with relish by Bette Bourne) disembowelling prostitutes.
Ravenhill's play is certainly a highlight, or at least it is for those members of the audience who aren't covered in the fake blood which sprays across the front row (be warned).
Meanwhile, Guns or Butter by Lucy Kirkwood is an intriguing piece about soldiers being overcome by the horror of war and is a premise which could quite possibly be expanded into something full length. It also boasts a rather wonderful eye-gouging scene.
While this is most definitely not one for the squeamish, for those of us who wonder at why horror seems to have slipped out of the theatrical repertoire, it is a real delight.

Two Bosses Enter: Rajaxx vs. Mandokir
Interested yet? For this week's fight we're matching up Ahn'Qiraj's General Rajaxx (not to mention the General's many soldiers!) and Zul'Gurub's Bloodlord Mandokir. To find out a bit more about these two -- and for a chance to voice your own opinion -- keep reading!
The General is a meleer whose most dangerous ability is an AoE Thunder Clap which knocks everyone back, drops aggro, and cuts their health in half. So if you have 6000hp when you start the fight? Now you have 3000hp. And after the next Thunder Clap, you have 1500hp. See the problem here?
When you engage Bloodlord Mandokir, you fight Mandokir and his raptor, Oghan. If you kill Oghan, Mandokir will enrage for a period of time -- and the additional damage done while enraged is usually quite sufficient to end the attempt.
In a fight, Mandokir relies on powerful melee abilities to defeat his opponents. He hits hard, has a dangerous AOE whirlwind attack, and will occasionally charge at the target farthest away from him. Occasionally, he will pick one of his opponents to "watch." While he's "watching" a target, if that target does anything to cause threat (healing, DPSing, etc), Mandokir will immediately charge the target, causing massive damage.
Oh, and if you die? Mandokir gains a level. (And just like players do, he'll yell "Ding!")
For the fight itself, we're presuming these two bosses would be of the same level and, approximately, the same health and damage output. They're fighting on neutral ground, so the NPCs that help you with Rajaxx and the rezzing ghosts around Mandokir are out of the picture. So if these two clashed, who do you think would come out on top? Obviously, if Mandokir fought through the waves of beasts coming in before Rajaxx, he'd have a serious advantage -- having gained nearly 50 levels. But would he make it that far, or would Rajaxx's swarms overwhelm him?
Voting is closed and this week's fight is finished -- but you can still check out the results.

Release # 95-142
WASHINGTON, D.C.- As part of its ongoing investigation of zippered bean bag chairs that may present a suffocation hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and five additional bean bag chair manufacturers announced today the voluntary recall of approximately 142,000 more zippered bean bag chairs.CPSC's ongoing investigation has included recalls and repair programs implemented by ten other bean bag chair manufacturers. Previous recalls have affected over 12 million bean bag chairs.CPSC is aware of 5 deaths from suffocation and at least 27 cases where children recovered from their injuries involving zippered bean bag chairs. The children who died unzipped the bean bag chairs, crawled inside, inhaled and ingested the small pellets of foam filling. In other cases children choked while playing with pellets from unzipped bean bag chairs which clogged their mouths and noses. None of these deaths and incidents involve bean bag chairs manufactured by the firms listed below.The following bean bag chair manufacturers are participating in this voluntary recall:
B.A.T.Irving, TX(214) 986-4413LIC No. TX 004408 on chair label
1991 thru January 1995
Golden Needle Co.Ft. Worth, TX(800) 569-0801
1991 thru March 1995
Holbrook-Patterson, Inc.Angola, IN
1989 thru March 1995
Lazy BeanSan Francisco, CA(415) 957-9502
1993 thru March 1995
Lewco Corp.Stamford, CT(800) 867-8857
After March 1993only at Toys'R' Us
These manufacturer's bean bag chairs were sold through small retail specialty shops, catalogs, and educational supply companies. Consumers should check the bean bag chair's label identifying the manufacturer by name or LIC. number and call the company's number listed above to receive instructions for repairing their bean bag chair.Any manufacturer's zippered bean bag chair that freely opens should be taken away from children IMMEDIATELY. Consumers should be aware that bean bag chairs manufactured with a small, T-shaped plastic tab attached to the zipper head are in need of repair. This recall does not affect bean bag chairs that have been retrofitted to prevent children from freely opening them. Consumers who are not sure whether their bean bag chairs are included in this recall or need help identifying their bean bag's manufacturer should call CPSC's toll-free hotline at (800) 638-2772 for assistance.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction.
