No upcoming shows at the moment.
NEW SINGLE "Coming Home" OUT NOW on Spotify and iTunes - supported by KODA!
Dance With Dirt consists of four fearless boys from the Danish countryside, who dare join the alignment of rock legacy. The reason for this is simple: Rock music really can – more than anything – provide good times and the feeling of unity. And in their version it must be played BY humans, FOR humans. Without any bullshit.
Rock'n roll is alive, and with Dance With Dirt it has got one its most powerful energy injections in a very long time. The northern Jutlanders gladly take it on their shoulders to continue the traditions of ancestors Led Zeppelin and The Who, uncles Nirvana and Guns 'N' Roses, and big brothers Muse and Foo Fighters. Dance With Dirt write contemporary songs about parties, girls and the longing for something else – because when things get too sluggish, too boring, or too introvert – it is rock that sets you free. This is something all four band members have experienced through life.
- Where I come from, there are fields everywhere. And if you don't listen to loud music and drink beer – nothing ever happens, tells lead singer and guitarist Magnus Jacobsen.
His refuge was to crawl onto the roof of his barn, and lie down with D-A-D's live album 'Reconstrucdead' in his ears and think: 'This is what I am going to do'. Meanwhile, in another part of the Danish outskirts, guitarist Kristoffer Veirum nearly failed his Latin exam, only because he had spent his whole reading vacation listening to Manic Street Preachers.
- And I remember how chocking it was as a 14-year old kid to listen to 'Nevermind' for the very first time, says drummer Jess Gertsen.
The formation of the band is like the verse of a rock bible. Kristoffer and bassist Jonathan Lyby had been playing through a wide series of band constellations in Aalborg, without the wanted effect. And then, on the very same day, Magnus and Jess – not knowing each other at the time – entered the rehearsal room to try out for the band. Magnus sang through a small guitar amplifier, so it was impossible to hear if he was any good, but the energy and the amount of sweat he put into it was enough to convince the rest of the band. That exact spontaneity has been a great influence on the band ever since.
- It is the moment that inspires us. It can be a riff, a beat or a phrase, but there is always a spark, which kind of possesses us to keep blowing at it and bring it to life. Most of our songs are made on the spot, when we are together, concludes Jonathan Lyby.
The same idea of 'now' plays a very central part in the band's live performance too. They generate a sincere and heartfelt rochshow, and the reason for that is simply that the energy comes from real people who work their asses off on their instruments – and everybody is invited. And if Dance With Dirt succeed in making you forget about your boss, your homework or your angry girl/boyfriend – if only for a moment – the four band members can happily exit the stage. Beneath it all lies an ambition, which is both heavenly striving but utterly sincere:
- Ideally we want to be our own favourite band, Kristoffer Veirum finishes.
Dance With Dirt is: Kristoffer Veirum (guitar), Jess Mørch Gertsen (drums), Jonathan Lyby (bass) and Magnus Jacobsen (vocals and guitar).
Milestones: 2010 - Dance With Dirt is demo of the month in Gaffa, August. 2012 - Dance With Dirt wins the danish talent prize, KarriereKanonen, on national youth radio P3. 2012 - Dance With Dirt plays SPOT festival, Smukfest (Skanderborg Festival), and Ofelia Beach. 2013 - Dance With Dirt release the debut album "We Are Dance With Dirt" on Target Distribution in DK (feb. 18th), and on Pop-Up Records in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (feb. 22nd).

Hello, I have been growing venus flytraps outside under 6+ hours of sun in Massachusetts. I have all of my plants in 50/50 peat moss perlite mixture with each plant in a individual pot which are all sitting in a tray of water about 1/4 of the way up the pots. They all have been growing perfect until this morning I looked at one of my plants (which normally has deep deep red traps) and I noticed that during the night it caught something inside of its trap. When I looked closer though I noticed that where the bug was inside of the trap, there was a dried shriveled up half cirlce starting at the hinge and going about a 1/4" up the trap. It looked as if whatever it caught sucked up the plant from the inside out. The rest of the trap is green except this half circle shaped dry spot. I have never seen this before and just want to make sure something isn't attacking my plants before it is to late. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It obviously caught something that eats plants. Maybe an earwig or caterpillar. The trap will die off and the plant will make new traps. If the plant is healthy it should be fine. You might look the plant over for eggs and keep an eye out for earwigs though. |

A verdict has been reached in the second phase of the trial for Christopher Shumey. It is expected to be read in court shortly.
Jurors are deciding if Shumey was insane when he murdered his mother in 2011. He was found guilty of second-degree murder earlier this month.
Deliberations in this latest phase began earlier Thursday.

It seems as if this college has more fun then anyone else, when i'm there.

I am down to like 18 hours till I leave. I am so excited. Like I cant even explain.
I saw this on another forum.
This guy was phone shopping and was looking at various types. He could not find one that suited his fancy. The salesman asked if he found anything he liked, to which he replied " these aren't the 'Droids I was looking for"
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...53470191_n.jpgThe student senators are after the administrators who failed to call of School at my DDs University due to the snowstorm that was predicted well in advance. The students could not return a day early because the dorms were closed until Sunday afternoon and school not called off until the wee hours of the morning Monday, to late for the students in route.
Last tally for I-57: 531 cars stranded and in ditches, 44 crashes and 4 injuries with one student run over on I-57.
Still thanking God that DD made it back. So glad the students had fun in the snow the next day.
Looking forward to the campus looking like this again for my DD. Both pictures and the previous ones are all on this quad that is about 2 football fields long.
Hope you find these McKayla
Love the last one!
perusing the internet I came across this:

Hello everyone! Been busy as usual. And so very tired so Haven't stayed up to even work on the computer!

text: Method of Sale of CarpetIn July 1999 the National Conference on Weights and Measures adopted the following change to the Uniform Method of Sale of Commodities Regulation in National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 130, Uniform Laws and Regulations. The model laws and regulations in Handbook 130 do NOT become mandatory unless the States adopt them. The change to the method of sale of carpet was made at the request of the Carpet and Rug Institute, which is the trade association representing that industry. The change went into effect on January 1, 2000, in the States (which are currently Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia that automatically adopt the changes to the Method of Sale Regulation on an annual basis see 2012 - HB 130, pages 9-13). The requirement will not go into effect in the other States until they amend their regulations on method of sale, which could take several years. The industry contact is Ron VanGelderen, Carpet and Rug Institute, 310 Holiday Drive, Dalton, Georgia 30720. 706-278-3176 Excerpt from the Final Report of the 84th National Conference on Weights and Measures 232-4 V Section 2.11. Carpet (This Item Was Adopted)Source: The Southern and Western Weights and Measures Association Background: According to the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), carpet retailers advertise their products based on the price per square foot. Section 2.11 of the Method of Sale of Commodities Regulation states that carpet shall be priced per square yard. The CRI says that consumers are more comfortable dealing with room sizes based on square feet, and other floor coverings are advertised and sold in units of square feet. The CRI believes that the change will reflect consumers' desires and put carpet on a comparable basis with other floor coverings. Committee Recommendation: Change Section 2.11 (e) to read as follows: (e) The price per square meter if sold in SI units, or the price per square yard foot if sold in inch-pound units, and the total price. In addition to changing the method of sale to the price per square foot as stated above, the Committee changed the title of Section 2.11 to "Carpet" to replace "Carpeting."

This luminous powder blush comes with a matte and shimmer shade that are blended together to create soft glow. Most of the shades go on sheer, though some have a bit more intensity. The silky texture blends on smoothly and though the shade selection is small, there are some attractive options to consider.
So the big question is, is it worth hefty price tag? We'll let you decide, but here's a hint: you can find luminous blushes from the drugstore that are just as good or better but for far less money!
We have never reviewed an expensive cosmetics line with the intent of criticizing it based on the price tags alone. Our standard for reviewing all cosmetics remains the same whether the prices are rock bottom or stratospheric. What cannot be denied is that there are many consumers who just refuse to give up the notion that, in terms of cosmetics, expensive means better. If you're one of those consumers you may have been curious about our take on Yves Saint Laurent's makeup, which by far outshines their skin care.
In the past, as we surveyed the other French-themed lines at the department store (including Lancome, Chanel, Dior, and Guerlain), YSL almost always came in last, barely stepping up to the plate to compete in any category. Lately, we've been pleasantly surprised to find several impressive products, along with some needed improvements for many of their previously lackluster options (whose price-to-performance ratio was depressingly low). YSL still isn't the French line to set your sights on and fill your makeup bag with, but there are enough positives to make a trip to their counter worthwhile, assuming that your budget extends far enough to comfortably afford these items. (Even the best products from this line have less-expensive counterparts, but if you're label-conscious, you should know what to focus on.)
What's not so great is the lack of sufficient UVA protection in products with sunscreen, or SPF ratings that are too low given what we know about the need for a sufficient level of daily sun protection. Adding sunscreen to many of the foundations and lip products was a smart move, but doing so without getting the basics right doesn't get a passing grade. Most of the mascaras are surprisingly average also, yet on the other hand the foundation and powder shade selections have improved considerably. It's this off-kilter blend of outstanding and boring products coupled with steep prices all around that earn this line an "approach with caution" statement. However, careful shopping from YSL will undoubtedly net you some wonderful products you'll be pleased with, at least until the credit card bill comes due!
When it comes to skin care, Yves Saint Laurent relies heavily on its fashion heritage to convince consumers to give these products more than a passing glance. Based on the formulas and outlandish prices, we see no reason for anyone to admire, let alone purchase, most of the skin-care products this brand sells. The claims are nothing short of ridiculous, especially for any YSL product designed to minimize wrinkles or stop sagging. It's good that all of the sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection, but the cost means you'll be replacing them quickly (if you're being diligent about liberal application, as you should be) and, of course, all of them contain wafting fragrance. The moisturizers are much less impressive, but carry some of the most too-good-to-be-true claims imaginable. None of what they're said to do in terms of wrinkles, skin regeneration, firming, and sculpting skin is the least bit reliable, though many of the moisturizers have luxurious textures.
What's missing is a focused approach to provide skin with what it really needs to thrive and remain healthy. Some of the basics are covered, but antioxidants are seemingly an afterthought, water-binding agents and skin-identical substances are mostly lacking, and once again fragrance takes precedence over advanced ingredients with substantiated research to support their use. If your skin-care routine must involve a designer brand, you'd be better off shopping Chanel and only considering YSL for the makeup products they have that, cost notwithstanding, are worthy of the attention they get in, where else, fashion magazines.

Hi everyone,
I have spent countless hours driving down back roads and countless amounts of gas money(much to hubbys despair) looking for some blueberry bushes(either bush or tall) where I am, Could someone tell me a good location??? I have four kids and would love to pick some to store for winter use ??? I live just outside of Sturgeon Falls, and am not afraid to drive a ways to get these. Thanks in advance, Melissa |
Follow-Up Postings:
They aren't ripe for picking until end of July/mid August. You will need permission of the landowner to pick unless you are sure it is crown land, not Indian land, provincial or national park land or protected land. Usually found on dry, rocky, granite based soils in full sun. Most blueberries in Ontario will be low bush. Rocky pink granite outcrop areas near lake or rivershore with juniper growing nearby would be good places to look. If you are driving near forested areas, much less likely to find them, they don't grow in good, deep soil nor in forests. You are near the French River; have you ever taken out a canoe on any of the canoe routes? Should be blueberries somewhere along them. |

I grew these from seed received in a trade. The trader said they were Gentiana andrewsii, but going by the descriptions in the Peterson Wildflower Guide, I think they may be Gentiana clausa. The seed originated in NY State. Any thoughts? Kevin |

sure looks like Gentiana clausa to me too. |
Well, I don't know but they are BEAUTIFUL! |
Gentiana clausa -- andrewsii doesn't have tucked-in tips of the petals like that. Your plants really are lovely! |
Thank you all. Clausa it is then. I must say, the Peterson Guide is really great at pointing out differences between similar species. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. K |

Beautiful! |
Thanks again. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time in the woods and fields across from my parents house. One of my most vivid memories is walking through the fields in the fall and seeing Gentiana andrewsii, fall asters and goldenrod all over the place. Now all those fields and woods are gone. Just lots and lots of houses with green lawns. Very sad. Kevin |
G. andrewsii & G. clausa are so close they are almost interchangeable. They are both native to NY state. They are both commonly called closed gentian. The key for my state's flora says: Corolla lobes shorter than the plaits = G. andrewsii Corolla lobes longer than the plaits = G. clausa If you like gentian the real show starts next month when Fringed Gentian blooms. The cobalt blue flowers open up and are exquisite but the plant dies after flowering. Sam |
Sam Thanks. Here's what Peterson's says about andrewsii: "The deep blue petals stay closed, joined by and slightly exceeded by a fringed whitish membrane. A very similar species G. clausa, has the petal tips free of the joining membrane." I did dissect one of the flowers and could not find the above mentioned membrane. |

Hi and WELCOME to copperfish!!
I saw your post about paperclay. Thought I'd start a new thread here. I found this interesting article: PaperClay.co.uk about adding paper pulp to clay slip, which was news to me! Apparently, it can be used in a kind of Raku technique? Have you looked at www.paperclay.com for projects and ideas? That's more my speed. LOL! My packet came from Michaels, too. Hope you enjoy the forums and clay discussions here! |

Hi akaLia !! Thanks for the speedy response. You know what - I did see the paperclay spot on the web and I'll check out the uk one. Thanks. I decided to order some ready-made from Axner pottery so I could really get after it. I want to make some big, big bowls inside a plaster mould. I tend to make lotz of tendrils and leaves and other things that stick out and since they are always breaking off, this clay may be the best thing to ever happen to this mud person !! They say it's the new clay of the 21st. century ! and since I am the queen of cracking, breaking and experimentation, I can hardly wait. I'll keep in touch. Will you ??? It's so much fun to check out this garden web. I just love it. |
copperfish, you are obviously way outta my little ol' league! LOL! I'd just love to see pics of your work. Your tendrils and leaves and sticking-out things sound great! I wouldn't know where to begin with such projects using paperclay. There was a beautiful bowl demo'd on Carol Duvall once, using polymer clay. It had grapes and lots of leaves and tendrils. It's definitely on my Wanna-Do list! :-) |

"This was delicious! Made it for Thanksgiving and even the folks who aren't big fans of sweet potatoes loved it. Just enough sweetness and the cranberries and juice add a nice bit of tang. This is a very attractive dish, as well. I left out the pecans- we have too many people who were not fans of that nut. Cooks great in a crock pot- not ..."
"Very tasty! I only had two hours of marinating time, but it still turned out great. I grilled over high heat to medium rare, then sliced it quarter inch thin. I put the sliced steak in a foil pouch and returned it to the grill for about 10 minutes. I boiled the reserved marinade and kept it warm over low heat for 30 minutes. It reduced down a..."
"Delicious! I only had one bag of frozen spinach, so I added about a cup of chopped broccoli and some diced onions. My wife and I had to go back for seconds! This was so easy but it tasted like a "special" side dish. I can't wait to make this again!"
"Very delicious! The soup was rich and creamy. I was a little worried that the asparagus taste might be too strong, but it was actually quite mild. I substituted one cup of white wine for one cup of chicken broth. I also used heavy cream instead of milk and added a tablespoon of honey for just a slight hint of sweetness. Served with shave roma..."
"Very good! This recipe is so simple and quick. The salmon had a nice, subtle sweetness. It was perfect for a summer evening after I got home late and didn't know what to cook for supper. My wife and boys gobbled it up. I've added this one to my cookbook."
"Great burgers! The bacon added a ton of taste. I used 2.25 lbs of ground beef and placed a slice of cheddar cheese in the middle of each burger but kept everything else the same. I chopped the bacon at room temperature and it was a little hard to work with. Maybe if it was partially frozen it would have been easier to chop. I also tossed my b..."
"This recipe was muy delicioso! I tasted the marinade before pouring it over the steak and I was in heaven. I made a second batch to pour over the fajitas later and to serve with chips. Perfecto! Marinated the skirt steak for four hours in the fridge in three separate plastic bags. I piled charcoal in a mound on one side of my grill and seared..."
"As you might be able to tell from my name, I'm a big fan of Chicago food and this beef was delicious. You do need access to a slicer to get the beef sliced good and thin. If you've got a relationhip with your butcher or deli, maybe they'll slice it for you (especially if you're willing to share some beef). Double the gravy- you won't regret it ..."
"I made these for a big family Christmas party- they didn't last long! Everyone loved the "surprise" taste of the cranberries. I added about 3 oz of bacon bits to the cranberry/onion mix and topped each tortilla with a few thin slices of smoked ham before rolling. I'm making them again tonight for New Year's Eve! Karen67 had some good advice- r..."
"Delicious cheese ball! The olives and blue cheese give it a rich flavor. This would go great from a football tailgate to a formal dinner party. This is definitely not a last-minute recipe, because you do need time to let it chill and firm up. However, it's worth the wait."

432 Mr S. M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Cablegram 466 LONDON, 24 June 1940, 9.56 p.m.
War Cabinet now sitting to consider- (a) Future attitude towards the Petain Government;
(b) The question alternative authority which would represent non- acquiescence French opinion and concentrate on continued resistance, particularly in the Colonies;
(c) Representations by High Commissioners (my telegram No. 461).
[1] With regard to (a) attitude inclines to non-recognition on grounds that action contrary to the will of the French people and betrayal of nation's solemn obligation not to seek separate armistice or peace. This line would even raise question of the position of the French Ambassador [2] if acting under the orders of the Petain Government.
With regard to (b), although de Gaulle's [3] broadcasts have the approval and support of the United Kingdom Government, felt in some quarters that unless he is supported by well-known and influential Frenchmen his activities not likely to effect object of consolidating those in favour of continued resistance and might even do harm. Difficulty is to find those whose support would be valuable. Repudiation of Government (my telegram No. 442) [4] now unlikely and decision 'to carry Government' overseas (my telegram No. 451) [5] now dead.
Latest information is Herriot [6] and Reynaud [7] decided to remain in France.
With reference to French Fleet, no information yet as to results of 'force or persuasion' policy.
My telegram No. 443. [8] Have been promised full appreciation by Chiefs of Staff will be available tomorrow covering the points raised plus further one since submitted, namely, position in and plan for Middle East (a) if forces can be maintained in Palestine and Egypt;
(b) if they have to be withdrawn.
Cable 191. [9] Think most desirable you should express to Whiskard [10] hope that in view of the vital importance of Iceland no forces will be withdrawn even when further Canadians arrive unless absolutely sure that remaining troops ample to meet any contingency.

Photos: Ten hilariously unnecessary items from the 1950s
Number 6: A hair net for your hair net.
Yes, you read right. This product was designed for women to put under their hair net. As if a hair net wasn't enough to, well, net their hair.
Number 5: And it makes a lovely hat box, too.
Could someone actually squeeze all those curlers (not to mention sprays, powders and the unseen brushes for which there's allegedly plenty of room) into this container? Maybe by stomping on them.

Faculty Spotlight: Edward Standora
The panda is the newest addition to the list of animals that Edward A. Standora, professor of biology, has helped scientists understand. Last summer, he spent two weeks in China sharing his experience in biotelemetry with researchers interested in studying panda behavior.
Standora has spent many years studying both freshwater and sea turtles, and has served as a co-principal investigator with the Earth Watch Institute on a leatherback sea turtle project in Costa Rica. He is currently a co-PI on a grant studying the continuing viability of the diamondback terrapin, a turtle species of special concern that lives in the estuaries along the New Jersey coast.
However, Standora has an international reputation for his pioneering work in biotelemetry, which has been the constant in his four-decade-long career. As a graduate student at California State University, Long Beach, he developed a telemetry system for studying sharks. Then, while earning his doctorate at the University of Georgia, he studied alligators inhabiting nuclear reactor cooling reservoirs.
His encounter with giant pandas took place last summer. Longtime colleague and former Buffalo State faculty member James R. Spotila, professor of biology and Betz Chair Professor of Environmental Science at Drexel University, invited Standora to join a group of researchers traveling to China as part of an intellectual exchange program through the Global Cause Foundation.
The panda is considered to be a "conservation-reliant species," meaning that its decline in the wild is so severe that its survival depends on active wildlife management and conservation. Estimates of the wild panda population range from 1,000 to 3,000. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding "focuses on the advancement of wildlife conservation in China," especially the panda, according to its Web site.
Standora's first stop was at the Chengdu base, where he spent three days and earned himself the nickname "Father Tracker." One of the projects under way at Chengdu is the breeding of pandas in captivity, with the intention of releasing them to the wild. "One of the early Chinese efforts failed," said Standora, "when the wild pandas killed the newcomer."
Scientists plan to enclose a square mile around a soon-to-be-built research base that will act as a "halfway house," according to Standora, where pandas bred at the base will learn the social skills necessary for survival. Using biotelemetric devices, researchers hope to learn more about panda behavior, including collecting data from pandas during their stay within the sanctuary and then in the bamboo forests that are their native habitat.
Besides describing various projects that have direct potential applicability to the study of pandas, Standora led a hands-on demonstration of telemetry tracking, GPS plotting of movement data, and the use of remote video cameras for recording animal behaviors. Standora also flew to Beijing, where he attended the 23rd International Congress for Conservation Biology and the third International Symposium of Integrative Zoology. He conferred with panda researchers to exchange ideas involving the newest technologies for monitoring the behaviors of rare animals.

Never one to let anything go to waste, Lucky tossed the tiny carcasses into the back of his pickup. They'd make a good meal for the neighborhood crows, he thought. Unfortunately for the birds, mealtime wasn't exactly Lucky's first priority, and the squirrels piled up in the truck until his friends could practically smell him coming.
One day, while Lucky was making his rounds of the salvage yards, a buddy noticed the stench and took a look inside the truck. "How much you want for the squirrels?" he asked. Lucky shrugged. "How much you want to give me?"
It turned out the buddy tied fishing flies and was in the market for squirrel tails. He opened his wallet and counted off the greenbacks.
Lucky struck again.
It's 6:30 p.m. Robert "Lucky" Luedke sits at his kitchen table washing down a stale peanut-butter sandwich cookie with a huge mug of Taster's Choice. He and a friend have spent the day hauling shelves, counters and restaurant equipment from a closed-down Furr's Cafeteria, and he hasn't had time to eat supper.
Actually, it's a small miracle he made it home this early. He's usually busy, usually late and usually bound by only one schedule--his own. Even his wife, Lucille, can't keep track of him. "For fifty years I haven't known where that man is or what he's doing," she says. "I tell him, 'What happens if there's an emergency? What happens if I need to reach you?' But he just comes and goes. You can't change him."
On this evening, he's wearing a white denim work shirt and white denim work pants, both smudged with grime. One shirt pocket is bursting with receipts, memos and whatnot, the other sags open and empty. Lucky's thin white hair is combed straight back and curls behind his ears (he hasn't had time for a haircut), and his cheekbones ride high under a pair of wary eyes. In the light of the overhead lamp, he could be a cousin of Jack Palance's.
"What did you say you were writing about again?" he asks, half grimace, half smile, voice rough as sandpaper. "Hmmm."
At age 74, with a sore back and bad circulation, Lucky would rather keep to himself, poking around Denver, dreaming about flying and making his peculiar mark on this city. Ask him about his "stuff," though, and his face brightens.
The petrified fox in the front room: "My son ran over it in Washington. It's supposed to be a red fox, but it was frozen quite a while and don't look too red now."
The cockatoo fluttering around the room and perching atop his head: "It's named Dusty or Rusty or something and gets mad if I don't let him out."
The worn photo album inside a metal briefcase he bought from a cop: "Oh, I don't know," he says, flipping through the pages. "I've had a few interesting things happen to me, I guess."
Lucky describes his childhood like this: "Sun came up, caught the bus, went to school, came home. Sun went down, we went to bed."
He was born on May 24, 1923, in West Point, Nebraska, and raised in Fort Morgan along with an older brother and two older sisters. His father was a sugar-beet farmer who lost everything during the Depression and died when Lucky was fourteen.
For fun, Lucky would tear through the countryside in a stripped-down Model A, leaning over the side with a shotgun and blasting pheasants. Sometimes he'd stand by the tracks watching trains rumble by.
When Lucky was sixteen, a Ford tri-motor passenger airplane landed in a wheat field, and the pilot offered rides for one dollar. Lucky raised his money ("took about a month," he says) and soon soared over the Colorado farmland.
"It's kinda hard to forget something like that," he says. "It was my first plane ride."
After he turned eighteen, Lucky moved to Los Angeles with his older brother and took a job building airplanes for North American Aviation. A few years later he was flying most of the planes he built.
By then, World War II had started. Lucky signed up as soon as he could, zigzagging between California, Utah and Arizona, learning to fly Black Widow night fighters. Not long afterward, he survived his first plane crash.
"Wasn't nothing," Lucky says. "Another plane hit me on the runway. Neither one of us were going fast enough to hurt anything."
Soon Lucky was trained as a mechanic, flight engineer and pilot, but he'd watched the war pass him by. Finally he was assigned to a B-29 bomber and given a mission in the Pacific in August 1945. A few weeks later the war ended. "Of course we were disappointed," he says. "We couldn't wait to fight. That's how stupid we were."
As soldiers were discharged and sent home, an officer strolled through Lucky's unit seeking recruits for Alaska. Most of the men laughed; Lucky volunteered. "It was exciting," he says. "A chance to see something new."

Exhibitor-Friendly Changes at Chicago's McCormick Place in Time for GRAPH EXPO
August 4, 2010"For years, GASC has worked on behalf of our exhibitor companies and attendees to support efforts that would make exhibiting and attending GRAPH EXPO less costly and more hassle-free," explained Ralph Nappi, President of GASC. "Though Chicago, with its history as a printing town and its geographically central location, had always been an ideal city in which to hold GRAPH EXPO, the old rules at McCormick Place had consistently placed undue hardship on our exhibitors and attendees. The passing of this historic legislation-and the action taken by McCormick Place to enact many of the legislated changes ahead of GRAPH EXPO 2010-is a real win for the entire graphic commuications industry."
The McCormick Place bill was passed with overwhelming support by both houses of the Illinois General Assembly and was subsequently signed into law by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. The legislation will allow Chicago to compete more effectively for exhibition business against rival cities such as Las Vegas and Orlando.
Recognized as the commercial printing, publishing, mailing and transactional exposition for the Americas, GRAPH EXPO 2010 themed, "The Next Generation of Print," has been designed to offer a customized show-going experience to a diverse spectrum of attendees. The exhibition will offer the latest graphic communications technologies in live equipment demonstrations across the expansive show floor and education on the most in-demand products and profit-making opportunities. Attendees will find nine special interest sections on the show floor. Along with the debuts of the Digital Document Drive pavilion, a section devoted to needs of print pros who create, manage and deliver transactional documents, and News Print-the newspaper pavilion, these include PackPrint, covering package printing; Future Print, featuring two of today's hottest technologies Printed Electronics and RFID; the Mailing & Fulfillment Center, the industry's largest mailing event anywhere in the Americas; the second annual GREENspace, a showcase on sustainability and eco-friendly products and services; the Prepress/Software-Design and Press/Finishing sections; and Education Main Street, for attendees seeking well-educated, talented industry newcomers to augment their company's workforce.
For more information on how the new legislation will affect individual exhibitors, contact GASC Director of Operations Kelly Kilga via e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com or phone at: 703/264-7200. For additional information about GRAPH EXPO 2010 visit: www.graphexpo.com.

Guest Reviews
Overall Experience
Outstanding Value
January 24, 2015
Staybridge Suites offers exceptional value for the price paid. The hotel includes amenities that are usually associated with much higher-priced properties: in addition to free internet service, the hotel provides an indoor pool, business facilities, and an exercise room.
The breakfast provided is an exceptional value: the guest is used to the cereal, toast, and fruit continental breakfast offered by most hotels, but Staybridge provides a complete breakfast, with five or six choices of hot foods in addition to the cold items.
In addition, the room offers a full kitchen facility, not just a cube fridge and coffee maker.
Farm Show Friendly
January 21, 2015
My 11-yr-old daughter showed breeding sheep at the PA Farm Show, located adjacent to the hotel, on 15 & 17 Jan. The hotel had decent rates for those days and I was able to use some Priority Club Rewards points to defray the cost even more. I made two reservations, one use points plus cash and the other using just cash, and the hotel manager and reservation system were able to tie the two reservations together so we wouldn't have to change rooms; that was really nice. Also, kudos to the hotel for having breakfast early on Saturday to accommodate the Farm Show exhibitors who had to show at 8a.m. Thanks for a good stay.
Home Like Atmosphere and Great Social Hour
ByC. Pick
January 20, 2015
I would recommend this Staybridge Hotel to family and friends. The Staybridge is very comfortable and unique.
The accommodations and amenities are great. Dollar for dollar you get more than your money's worth. The hotel is clean and the decor is very nice. I was with a group and we enjoyed the fireplace and comfortable seating each night of our stay. We were on a business trip, but our accommodations allowed us to relax and wind down after a long day of in-service training.
Excellent Accommodations
January 19, 2015
This the second year that we have stayed at the Staybridge and we will definitely make reservations for next year as well. It is a wonderful place to stay and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend the Staybridge. We love the Tues., Wed and Thurs social hour. It couldn't be better.

Why Cloud Infrastructure Pricing Is Absurd
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the buzzwords-as-a-service dept.
191itwbennett writes "Two reports out this week, one a new 'codex' released by 451 Research and the other an updated survey into cloud IaaS pricing from Redmonk, show just how insane cloud pricing has become. If your job requires you to read these reports, good luck. For the rest of us, Redmonk's Stephen O'Grady distilled the pricing trends down to this: 'HP offers the best compute value and instance sizes for the dollar. Google offers the best value for memory, but to get there it appears to have sacrificed compute. AWS is king in value for disk and it appears no one else is even trying to come close. Microsoft is taking the 'middle of the road,' never offering the best or worst pricing.'"

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We used this invitation for our rehearsal dinner and it came out great. The invitation was elegant yet simple and the quality was beautiful. I highly recommend it."
"I changed the color of the paper to go with the overall themeof the wedding. I changed the shape of the card whichI thought made it look different. I spoke withsomeone on the phone throughout my entire order process since I had some trouble with my internet browser. she stayed on the phone withme until my entire order was complete. I can't say enough about this personalized service. I ordered at the last minute and was able to get my order in 3 days."
"I ordered this invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner. I liked the way I could personalize with the wedding colors and this tied it to the "Big" day. I added a picture from their engagement photos and I think that was the perfect touch to honor this young couple just starting out. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper, the colors and the sharpness of the picture on the back. I would recommend this card and this business whole heartedly. Thank you for meeting my expectation and then some!"
"I really loved the quality of this invitation. The card stock was a nice, heavy weight, and it was nicely textured. I liked the scrollwork design at the top that presented a classic, traditional look, yet the print layout gave it a more modern touch. The wording was traditional and conveyed all the right information. I was able to customize it enough to make the print a little larger than the sample. My only minor disappointment was that I couldn't change the colors of the print and the scrollwork design. There was only one other color option. Also, I wasn't wild about the large word "dinner", but it did look fine in the end. I was very satisfied with the invitation and the great customer service from Wedding Paper Divas."
"I thought these would be so cute for our upcoming wedding rehearsal in Nashville, and I am so happy that I ordered them! I customized the colors to a light pink and charcoal gray, and I was absolutely thrilled with the final product! I couldn't wait to mail these out, and I was so pleased to hear that so many of our guests loved receiving them too!"

Game Highlights: Texas Stars 6 vs. Toronto Marlies 2 Steve Spott Post Game Press Conference - The Toronto Marlies get set to take on the Texas Stars at 8:30 p.m. For a team with anywhere from 12-15 entry level contracts making up the team roster, many had the young Toronto Marlies' season labeled as one that would be a learning year and one without much hope for playoff success. Here are the Marlies looking down a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals and in with a shot to go to the Calder Cup Finals—their 2nd in...

Toronto Marlies even the series with a 4-1 win over Texas
May 29, 2014
It was a must win for the Toronto Marlies, and the urgency and desperation was visible from puck drop. A much-needed tone-setting shift off the opening faceoff by Trevor Smith, Carter Ashton and Sam Carrick got the ball rolling for the Marlies in this one, as a hard forecheck followed by a cycle and penalty draw led to the first of three consecutive Spencer Abbott powerplay goals. On the ensuing powerplay, Abbott, stationed on the point, wristed one past Nilstorp with Josh Leivo playing screen, marking the 11th straight playoff game in which the Marlies have opened the scoring and Abbott's...

"Attack" and "desperation" were Steve Spott's buzzwords last night, directed toward the Marlie forward group in particular, after the Marlies fell behind in a series for the first time in these playoffs following a 3-2 defeat to Texas in Game 3. "Our 12 forwards have not found the level of desperation their 12 forwards have." "We don't have enough forwards onboard right now getting the job done with puck possession and offensive zone time. We need more offensive zone time from our forwards." "We cannot turn over pucks in the neutral zone. We have to get pucks deep and hunt people down...

The Toronto Marlies are looking to get back to playing better hockey after two games in which they were soundly outshot and outplayed, but relied on opportunistic goal scoring and fantastic goaltending from Drew MacIntyre. In Games 1 and 2, the Marlies were pulled away from playing their game and spent a lot of time in between the dots loosely defending the neutral zone and home plate areas, as opposed to forcing battles to the boards, where they excel. Getting back to basic hockey and executing simple plays with better accuracy; including making sure there is ample support for the...
Defence falls flat, Toronto Marlies drop game #2 6-3

TORONTO - After a big 5-1 win on Friday against the Texas Stars, the Toronto Marlies knew they had to improve on their 50-shots-against performance in game #2 on Monday night or else risk dropping their first game of the 2014 post season. The first period started well for Toronto. After a Texas turnover inside the Marlies blueline in a 4-on-4 situation, Jerry D'Amigo picked up the puck and went barrelling down the ice and snapped a quick wrist shot over the glove of Christopher Nilstorp for his fourth of the post-season and a 1-0 Marlie lead. The first period in...

The Toronto Marlies rode Drew MacIntyre and some opportunistic scoring to a 1-0 series lead in the Western Conference Final opener on Friday. It was a big win to grab no matter how perfectly it was executed, as the Stars hadn't lost at home in the playoffs before the Marlies' handed them a somewhat deceiving 5-1 defeat. Playing more of their north-south game through neutral ice and generating offensive zone time on the cycle at even strength will have been a focus for Steve Spott's team going into game two. "There wasn't a whole lot to like in terms of structure. We...

Q: My 5-year-old is the youngest of my three children. Her older boy-girl twin siblings outshine her athletically. Theyre already very skilled at wakeboarding and snow skiing, for example. I think my youngest has decided to give up. All she wants to do is hang out with me. (Im not athletic either, but everyone in the family except this child is physically active.) Furthermore, she is disrespectful to anyone who tries to interest her in trying something new. She ignores the person, acting as if they werent even there. When I suggest activities, she becomes whiny and makes everyone miserable. I dont know how to help her, but something has to change before we all go crazy!
A: From my perspective, the problem is not that because she cant keep up with her older siblings your daughter has just decided to give up. The problem is that shes often rude and disrespectful. She completely tunes out people who are talking to her, for example.
You think you need to help her. I think you need to discipline her. However unwittingly and with good intentions, youre making excuses for and therefore enabling her misbehavior.
Her rehabilitation begins with treating people with respect. I recommend that you put her on my celebrated Three Strikes Youre Out! program. She receives a strike whenever she is disrespectful or whines. When she is disrespectful toward others or whines disruptively, she receives a strike. Each of the first two strikes of the day result in 15 minutes of time-out. The third strike results in spending the remainder of the day in her room and going to bed immediately after supper.
The second phase of her rehabilitation involves a change in your behavior. Stop suggesting activities to her. Find something you would like to do with her, and tell her, This is what Ive decided you and I are doing today. If she objects, tell her she has no choice in the matter. The activities in question should not involve her siblings and should not be things they excel at. That will prevent unfavorable comparisons. Im talking about mother-daughter things. Start slow. Take walks through parks or on nature trails, for example. Graduate from there to bike rides. The key is finding activities she can enjoy without having to compete.
By the way, theres an odd duck child in nearly every family. The challenge is helping the child find a pond she feels comfortable swimming in.

Today in the space of 10 hrs we adjusted our blueberry media from a starting pH of 6.8 to 3.8 with sulfuric acid and back to 4.7 with alkaline well water. This is so easy I don't see the need for anything else to get off to a good start with potted blueberries.
Store bought battery acid is 33% sulfuric acid. I dilute it by pouring one qt into 9 qt water. This gives a stock solution that is 3.3% sulfuric and makes it much safer to handle. It took about two qts of the stock solution mixed in a couple gallons of water leached thru ~12 gallons of potting mix to lower pH to 3.8. Had we been more careful we could have stopped at 4.5 to 5. But having gotten to 3.8 we leached with alkaline well water three times to get back to 4.7. We'll wait a couple days to see if the pH is stable before using the mix. We earlier adjusted from 6.8 to 4.4 after planting with excellent results. We used well water adjusted to ~ 3.5 pH to do that. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The problem with that is, battery acid is not refined, and may contain contaminants such as mercury or lead. It may not enter the plant, but the runoff may pose a mild danger. You are also tweaking a high PH soil and assuming it will stay that way...it will not. Most revert back towards their original PH on the basis of their makeup. Example…pure peat fertilized with plain miracle grow will test at a higher PH, but will soon revert back. Better to start with a material close to the desired PH or you will be forced to constantly adjust as commercial blueberry growers do. The reason they choose this method is financial, easier to tweak, rather than remove and replace yards of earth, while on a smaller scale the opposite is often true. |
Thanks for the heads up about possible heavy metals in battery acid. That was in the back of my mind. I'll buy some technical grade sulfuric acid to solve that issue. Heavy metals can also be in dry fertilizers like Ironite. As to reversion of pH. I know that will happen to some extent. But it's not something that concerns me. And it happens with any method of adjusting pH. Just monitor pH and adjust again. |
Mr. Ed, Do you have any references that store bought battery acid could have significant amounts Pb and Hg? I'm not trying to be contentious, just wondering if there are any reputable sources for the claim. I bought some sulfuric acid to mix with water for irrigating the blueberry patch and would rather not add lead or mercury in significant amounts. However, I've noticed so many claims of this nature are based on internet hearsay and turn out to be false. As an example, Fruitnut's mention of ironite is quite correct. It used to contain high levels of heavy metals. However, the company had such bad press and lawsuits they quit making it from mining tailings. Their product is now well under safety levels for any heavy metals. Still, there are numerous websites warning people against the use of their dangerous product, which no longer exists. |
fruitnut: no problem, I am not even sure if blueberries are able to uptake heavy metals. I know they are indifferent to aluminum. Was just wondering about the runoff from the potted plants. About lead in Ironite…yes I have heard that. I will not use it because of that fact. It might be safe for a lawn, but suppose next year you want to put a garden there, or use the clippings for mulch. Which leads me to olpea's comment; yes most industrial grade agents contain some heavy metals and possible PBB…ect. Just how many PPM would depend on the manufacture, and with most industrial liquids made in China or Mexico where product safety is the last thing on their minds……ah I would just pick up some sulfur as opposed to sending battery acid out for lab analysis. I mean hey, I am feeding this stuff to my kids and eating it myself....so cost plays second fiddle, to safety IMHO. |

Testing Dose-Dense Paclitaxel for Ovarian and Related Cancers
Name of the Trial
Phase III Randomized Study of Two Different Dose Schedules of Paclitaxel in Combination with Carboplatin with versus without Concurrent and Consolidation Bevacizumab in Patients With Stage III-IV Ovarian Epithelial, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer (GOG-0262). See the protocol summary.
Principal Investigator
Dr. John Chan, Gynecologic Oncology Group
Why This Trial Is Important
Women with ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer usually undergo surgery to determine the extent of their disease (primary staging) and to remove as much cancerous tissue as possible (cytoreduction). Advanced cancer (stage III or IV) is typically treated with combination chemotherapy using a taxane drug, such as paclitaxel, and a platinum-based drug, carboplatin. Emerging evidence suggests the addition of drugs that target angiogenesis may improve outcomes for these patients.
Although standard combination chemotherapy is frequently successful in bringing about a remission, the disease in many women eventually develops resistance to this therapy and subsequently recurs. Doctors are eager to identify new approaches to overcome drug resistance and prolong disease remission and patient survival.
Paclitaxel kills cancer cells by blocking cell division (mitosis), which induces cell death, or apoptosis. Animal studies have shown, however, that the apoptosis induced by paclitaxel begins to subside about 4 days after the drug is administered, suggesting that more frequent and lower-dose administration may improve efficacy. Consequently, doctors have developed a new "dose-dense" administration schedule, with lower doses of paclitaxel given every week instead of a single higher dose given every 3 weeks.
Clinical trials in patients with breast cancer have shown that a dose-dense regimen of paclitaxel produces better responses and stabilization of disease than the standard every 3-weeks dosing schedule. In early clinical trials in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, objective response were obtained in women whose disease was resistant to standard therapy. To explore this finding further, the U.S. Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) conducted a phase II study of weekly paclitaxel in women with advanced platinum- and paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer and showed a benefit even in this treatment-resistant group of women.
Further bolstering evidence of dose-dense paclitaxel's promise in ovarian cancer, the Japanese GOG conducted a phase III randomized clinical trial and showed that women receiving dose-dense therapy experienced statistically significantly longer progression-free survival and were more likely to be alive after 2 years.
In GOG-0262, women with stage III or IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either standard or dose-dense paclitaxel in addition to standard carboplatin (given once every 3 weeks). Prior to randomization, women enrolled in the study may elect whether to receive the antiangiogenesis drug bevacizumab during and after chemotherapy. Doctors will monitor women in the trial for progression-free and overall survival, side effects, and quality of life.
"We know that some drugs given at different schedules can produce additional benefits. With dose-dense paclitaxel, not only is there a direct cytotoxic effect, but we can potentially see antiangiogenic benefits above and beyond the effects of paclitaxel given at the standard schedule," explained Dr. Chan.
"Data from phase II studies show that dose-dense paclitaxel has activity in highly resistant ovarian cancer," said Dr. Chan. "And the Japanese study has produced promising data, but there are differences in the prevailing ovarian cancer cell types, and possibly the genomic and toxicity profiles, of ovarian cancer in Asians compared to Western women. As such, these results need to be confirmed in other ethnicities before the dose-dense regimen can be considered the new standard of care."

The state cabinet on Wednesday repealed the disputed Section 90B of Land Revenue Act, 1956 and gave the nod for creating a new set of sections under 90A. This is likely to put to rest the controversy over 90B.
"The cabinet has authorized the enabling power authority to make the set of rules for Section 90A. Now the urban development authority department (UDH) can create provisions which will replace Section 90B and allow the swift land conversion laws," said PK Deb, additional chief secretary, UDH.
"With new rules, land conversion will become more transparent and fair. The town will also get better planning and we expect that people will follow the due process and help in systematic urban development," he added.
The new drafted rules will be tabled in the state assembly for making into an Act. Since land revenue Act is part of ninth schedule of the Constitution, it will also need the approval of Union government.
Sources revealed that the new provisions that are in drafting stage are based on sector-wise development to ensure organized growth of the city. "Section 90B has many flaws and do not go in tandem with the master plan. So it has to be substituted with other bylaws," said sources.
The department is keen to ensure that the new law is easy to understand and more IT enabled. "Our aim is that a person need not to go door to door for land conversion and can apply from home itself. There will be one time application and processing fee can be paid online. All plots that are available will be put in public domain so that they can know beforehand which land is available for land conversion," said an official.
However, the applicant will have to take other approvals like building permission, fire nod etc from the concerned departments.
How Section 90A is different from section 90 B
The provision of section 90B says that anyone who wants to convert the land can apply to JDA. With some change or no changes, the JDA will approve the proposal and after paying a fee, a person can convert the land for the desired purpose. However, these provisions were promoting the scattered growths which were conflicting with the Master Plan 2025.
Section 90 A will promote the systematic development of the city as per Master Plan 2025. One of the provisions of the draft is that any person who wishes to convert and develop the land will have to buy and surrender 10% to 15% of the land earmarked by the Jaipur Development Authority, as part of sector plan. This money will then be utilized by the JDA for development of parks, community facilities and roads.
Similarly any property developer who wants to convert land for the projects will have to pay for the public facilities. With substantial amount getting augmented, a bigger project will be conceived and proper development of the sector can be done.

Andy Aledort shows you how to play a renowned live version of Hendrix's "Little Wing."
A couple of weeks ago, I gave you a short, 30-minute guitar workout designed for guitarists whose practice time is limited. The positive response I received prompted me to create an additional lesson, which, in combination with my original workout, will give you a good hour of intensive practice.
In this brand-new edition of Betcha Can't Play This, metal guitarist Ethan Brosh (using a Fender HM Strat) demonstrates a lightning-fast C Lydian lick that sounds a bit like The Simpsons theme song, at least at the very beginning.
When most people start learning guitar, the first chords that they learn are often the A, C, D, E and G open chords. And the CAGED chord system is a chordal shape that can be used to navigate the fretboard using the C, A, G, E and D open-chord shapes, in that particular order, to ultimately be able to spot any major chord all across your fretboard.
In this edition of In Deep, we'll be taking a look at the guitar work of two essential early blues guitar masters: John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins.
In this exclusive Guitar World lesson, watch Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid talk about the band's The Chair in the Doorway album and teach you how to play their classic 1988 hit "Cult of Personality."
For this lesson, I want to explore some more applications of this technique and give you some ideas of how you can use it in your own playing. The technique can be applied to virtually any single-note sequence you come up with. I find it best to create a simple melodic line and then apply the technique to create a riff or motif. I've found it particularly useful in my solos as a way to create dynamics.
The fourth finger is often neglected when it comes to playing guitar. Well, rock/blues guitar, at least. I notice players opt to do wide stretches between their second and third fingers rather than using the fourth. As a result, the fourth finger is very underused and gets weak. This generally begins when someone first starts playing guitar.
Van Halen's impact on Dimebag's playing is unmistakable. The "vibe" of early Van Halen is by far the most recognizable influence in Dimebag's playing. From the grooving rhythms played like leads of their own, to the tone, to the phrasing in his lead playing, Dimebag took the inspiration of Edward Van Halen and forged his own identity.
