Addison Bragg BRAGG ABOUT BILLINGS
There was a time once when it was simply the Northern Hotel - and then it burned down. It was a splendid fire and included such niceties as the free coffee and sandwiches that Grand Hotel management from across the street sent over during the fire, which burned throughout the long night.
There might not have been a new Northern on the site had it not been for Sen. B.K. Wheeler exercising an impressive degree of clout in wartime Washington. He had released a hold that had been put on the shipment of pipes, wiring, metal fixtures and other construction materials.
This is how I got to see the new Northern when I passed through Billings.
Later when I got here it was still the new Northern as opposed to the old.
That was over half a century ago, which not surprisingly has earned our town's most prestigious watering hole a right to the title "old." And whenever those whose memories of the place go back much longer, they speak of the litany of incidents and situations in which the comfortable old place both gloried and accepted responsibility:
Red Burnett's daily habit during the always-busy lunch hours of matching silver dollars with bar patrons who enjoyed losing as well as winning when Red was running the game.
And Red's description of his Texas birthplace as "Forty miles from Dallas and paved all the way." The sound of those cartwheels on the bar, by the bye, blended with the whir of the slot machines.
Bill Elliott, retired furniture store owner, always at the western end of the bar, back against the wall, cigar stub in his mouth and his fingers around the shot glass of Usher's Green Stripe with which he passed after dinner until heading home - upstairs - around midnight.
Bill Pollard and Grace Caldwell, black-tied and evening gowned, were at the piano and organ in the lobby and on KGHL radio nightly to give an uptown looked as well as sound to the Northern's dinner hours, when live music came to Billings bars in the late 1950s.
Les Carter, thanks to his ability to pick the right people to help him make a name for the Northern, was unique among the town's saloonkeepers when it came to employee relations, a major example of which was his order that the Northern bar, however busy, closed one hour after midnight. Montana bars are allowed to stay open until 2 a.m.
His reason? "Gives my people a chance for a little night life on their own after a full shift here," he told me once.
Speaking of Northern alumni, catering manager John White left here to manage Western's now-famous Space Needle, which opened at the Seattle World's Fair. Alan Woodrow, who began his hotel career as a Northern bus boy, retired a few years back as general manager of one of Hawaii's most prestigious hotels on Waikiki beach at Honolulu. Then along came Warren Anderson who went supersonic, leaving to open Montreal's Bonaventure, then Bangkok's Dusit Thani and bowed off after seeing the start he gave the Century Plaza in Los Angeles would last for longer than a bit.
I know of only one person who had a sort of feud with the Northern - particularly, the Golden Belle - where it hung behind the bar, a Billing landscape as seen from the Northern picturing the arrival of the first Northern Pacific passenger train into the city. As time passed and things got busier, the foreground of the painting was obscured, first by a larger, more ornate cash reegister, then by shelves holding bottles and glasses that moved steadily up the canvas to damage the painting.
The artist kept his word to never go in the Belle again until the hotel repaired the damage and moved the painting upstairs.
He grew up as a cowboy and he ended up an artist. He proved the old saying about cowboying is only skin deep but art goes clear down to the bone.
The Golden Belle was not the aging, reclining debutante whose full-length painting hung in the bar but a legendary cat in old San Francisco, dreamed up by Alan Woodrow whose ghost was said to haunt the Belle.
If true - and I have no reason to disbelieve it - he's not the first ghost to haunt the room.
And we remember them all.

In or around 1994, I had taken to cutting my own hair. It was rather simple, as I had taken to wearing my hair quite short. I simply ran a razor with a guard over my head. After a few passes, I was done, and I had saved myself a few bucks. I enjoyed cutting my own hair, and it soon became part of my Friday night ritual. Another part of this ritual was the consuming of one or two 22 oz. Steinlagers. Usually, I did the haircut first. Once I didn't. On this particular occasion, after cleaning the guard about halfway through the job, I neglected to put it back on, and promptly shaved a two-inch wide, five inch long swath down the middle of my head.
I stared at this little mistake for about five-minutes. Oops. I then decided that the only fix was to shave it all. Which I did. Best move I ever made. It makes cycling, and motorcycling much easier (no helmet hair). It's cool in the summer, and in the winter I can wear hats without worrying about how my hair will look. My girlfriend digs it. It looks REALLY cool with a henna "tattoo". And I was going bald anyway.
My advice? Shave your head, and NEVER operate anything with a blade after drinking.
One problem I've always had with the armed forces is the double-standard there is in the military relating to head-shaving and gender.
All men entering the military are required to shave their heads. This serves several functions. It helps control hygiene. In the close quarters communal living environment of basic training, it is important that each recruit be clean and free of lice and other parasites.
Head shaving also has a psychological impact. The change in appearance helps facilitate the change in identity that occurs during basic training. It also helps in fostering a team-spirit which carries the individuals as a team. Head-shaving is also common among sports teams for the same reason.
The problem being that female recruits are not required to shave their heads. They are required to keep hair pinned up and off of the collar, but that is hardly the same.
I've never been in the military but I grew up in a military community and I've heard this discussed among soldiers often. Most of the men feel like women should be required to keep short hair just like the men, and for the same reasons.
I believe requiring women to keep short hair would also, in the long run, aid the women in their search for equality in the military. As long as there is a separate set of rules for women, they will never truly be considered as equal.
So it goes.
A razor. I recommend a high quality safety razor. I use a Gillette Mach 3, but anything decent should do the job.
Use a fresh one, or else you'll shred your head, and bleed everywhere. Unless you have incredibly downy-soft hair, every time you shave your head you will blunt a razor. I never said it was cheap.
Don't bother putting a shirt on, you'll only make a mess of it later.
If your hair's never been this short before, take a moment to rub it. You'll like it. Trust me. If you have a S.O. handy, get them to rub it. Trust me.
It's time for your first pass with the razor.
Take a deep breath, and begin.
The first time over you should shave with the grain of the hair - that is - in the direction the hair points when it lays down. For most people this will be different directions on different parts of your head. If in doubt, rub your head, and work it out yourself.
Be particularly careful around the tops of your ears and the back of your skull, and any weird bumps and lumps you might have. If you have any large moles or warts, be very careful. Head wounds bleed more than other parts of your body, so be careful.
Once this is all done, you'll notice your head is still really prickly. That means it's time for the...
Get in the shower with your razor, and if there's room, sit down. Feel your head, looking for prickly patches. Shave 'em off, going against the grain.
Don't be afraid to do a few passes over the one spot. It won't kill you unless you're beyond completely uncoordinated and manage to slice open a vein.
The hot water from the shower will help keep the hair soft, 'cause by this stage the softening effect of the shaving cream has probably worn off.
Rubbing your head in little circles is the easiest way to find where you've missed. Once you've done this, check your head.
Check again. Check again. I'm serious.
If you missed somewhere, and then go out, you're going to look like a tool until you get a chance to get home to your razor again. Even if it's not visible, when people rub your head (which they will want to) they'll feel it. Even if they don't, you will, which is the important bit.
Everyone misses the lower parts of the back of their neck the first time they do this. Let my mistake be your inspiration.
Now that you've got no hair, you're going to have to look after your lack of hair just as much (if not more) than you did when you had hair.
After about 36 hours your scalp will show signs of what looks like dandruff. This is normal. You'll just need to use a soft fingernail brush to give your head a quick scrub. This will feel good, and make your head all shiny and nice again. If you use a rough brush or scrub too hard or for too long you risk irritating your scalp. Don't.
Wash your scalp with mild soap (or even shampoo) when you shower, and this will help keep your scalp from feeling all oily.
I heartily recommend that you try the following things before you let it grow out again:

Delve into DIY security with these 14 connected cameras
Whether you're serious about security or simply want to spy on a mischievous pet, these clever cameras are vying for a spot in your home.
DIY security gives you greater flexibility over your connected home, allowing you to setup each gadget as you see fit and avoid subscription-based services that lock you into a contract. Still, the install-yourself systems vary widely. The all-in-one units typically come with a built-in camera while the accessory-based kits tend to offer them a la carte, as an optional add-on after your initial purchase.
The related apps differ too. Some have live streaming, while others only record a clip when they detect motion. Some have local storage options, while others save footage to a cloud server. And some offer free cloud storage, while others charge a fee. Scroll through our list of reviewed security cameras to learn more about the variety of DIY options available.
Archos Smart Home Starter Pack
Archos' $250 (£200 in the UK, Australian availability not yet announced) Smart Home Starter Pack has an Android tablet-hub, various motion and temperature sensors, and two small, battery-powered cameras. The cameras were pretty disappointing. I like that you can easily angle the cameras on their magnetic bases, but they don't offer live streaming. Instead, they record when motion is detected or if you expressly ask them to record. Read CNET's full review of the Archos Smart Home Starter Pack.
ArcSoft Simplicam
This $150 security camera stands out from others thanks to its facial recognition capabilities. It can't distinguish between faces, but it can recognize the generic structure of a face and, theoretically, alert you that it's a human has triggered its motion sensor, as opposed to a passing truck. This would be useful, if only its notification system was more reliable. Read CNET's full review of the ArcSoft Simplicam.
Belkin NetCam HD+ Wi-Fi Camera
Belkin's $130 (£130 in the UK, and AU$170 in Australia) NetCam HD+ Wi-Fi Camera is solid DIY camera entry-point. You have to pay $10 a month to store clips and, annoyingly, to receive push notifications. It also doesn't deliver Dropcam Pro-level optics or have the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro's local storage option. Still, you can control it from the WeMo app alongside Belkin's other home automation products. Read CNET's full review of the Belkin NetCam HD+ Wi-Fi Camera.
BOT Home Automation Doorbot
The $200 (available internationally for about £120, AU$215) DoorBot is a smart doorbell that captures live video footage whenever someone buzzes your front door. Get a push notification when someone's at your door and access the app to see who's there. You can also use the two-way talk feature to chat with them without having to open your door. Unfortunately, the video quality wasn't great, yielding consistently streaky, pixelated images. Read CNET's full review of the BOT Home Automation Doorbot.
D-Link Pan & Tilt Day/Night Network Camera
D-Link aims for the budget-minded with this $120 model, but unfortunately it shows in the product quality. Low 640x480 resolution, unreliable motion and sound detection, and a broken notification system make this camera a non-starter. Read CNET's full review of the D-Link Pan & Tilt Day/Night Network Camera.
The $200 (£200 in the UK, not available in Australia) Dropcam Pro's crisp 1080p videos and sturdy build make it a leader among DIY security cameras. Receive sound and motion alerts on the related app and access the live feed 24/7. There's no local storage option and its Cloud Video Recording (CVR) fees start at $10 per month or $99 per year for 7 days of saved footage. Nest recently bought Dropcam and Dropcam recently announced an API Beta Program, so expect a lot more from this successful startup-turned-Nest-property. Read CNET's full review of the Dropcam Pro.
Foscam Plug and Play Wireless IP Camera FI9826P
Foscam is one of the more popular brands of connected cameras, and overall we were impressed with its hardware. Remote control panning and tilting, 3X optical zoom, and a local, SD card storage option are all appealing features. For $220, though, we would expect more up-to-date mobile software and an easier setup process. A new app is in the works that could make this one more competitive. We will report back and update our coverage once we test it out. Read CNET's full review of the Foscam Plug and Play Wireless IP Camera.
Icontrol Networks Piper
Piper is a $200 (also available in Europe for €150) security module with a camera, a siren, and a whole bunch of sensors that detect everything from ambient light to motion. Track what's going on via live streaming and receive alerts when something's amiss. Piper stores up to 1,000 video clips on its cloud server for free -- there's no local storage option, but there's also no monthly fee. Read CNET's full review of the Icontrol Networks Piper.
Ion Cameras Ion the Home Wi-Fi Video Camera
This action cam maker has thrown its hat into the security camera ring with this Ion the Home unit. At $130 it boasts a competitive price point, and we also really like its 24 hour rolling cloud storage option. No other camera maker has such a generous plan for hanging on to clips. We're mid review on this one, but so far we like what we see. Read CNET's First Take of the Ion the Home Wi-Fi Video Camera.
iSmartAlarm's $200 base system has sensors, sirens, keychain tags, and a hub. (Currently available only in the US and Canada, but the company has said it has plans to branch out. Pricing converts to about £120, or AU$215.) Add on $150 and you get its camera too. Fortunately, there's no additional monthly fee attached to this camera. Unfortunately, the camera was very finicky. Up to 15 percent of routers don't work well with it and even if you do get it set up, it doesn't have a built-in motion sensor -- a definite oversight when you consider the competition. Read CNET's full review of the iSmartAlarm.
Manything, iOS app
Manything is a free iOS app that turns your old iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch into an instant security camera. It definitely isn't as complete of as solution as regular DIY cameras, but it still has a ton of handy features. You can use it for live monitoring and to receive alerts when motion is detected. It even has an option for customizing "motion zones" so you can pick and choose the parts of your home that you want to watch more closely. And, it will employ your phone's flashlight to "see" in the dark. Read CNET's full review of the Manything iOS app.
Oplink Security TripleShield
Oplink's $350 TripleShield package (available only in North America) includes all of the usual security kit suspects, plus a couple of night-vision-capable cameras. If the alarm is triggered, the system will automatically record video and send it to your phone. The related app is well-designed, too, allowing you to view live footage on a split screen or one camera at a time. We weren't thrilled with the fees, though. The compulsory $20 monthly fee increases by $5 every time you add an additional camera to your setup. Read CNET's full review of the Oplink Security TripleShield.
Samsung SmartCam HD Pro
Samsung's $190 (available in the UK for £160; not yet available in Australia, but converts to about AU$200) SmartCam HD Pro has a full list of features, ranging from motion and sound detection and alerts to optional SD card video storage. If local storage is at the top of your must-have list, this is a solid indoor security camera. If not, I'd stick with the slightly more expensive Dropcam Pro. Its superior video quality and build make it tough to beat at this price point. Read CNET's full review of the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro.
Viper Home
Viper's $230 Starter Kit (not available in the UK; available in Australia, converts to about AU$245) comes with a hub, a motion detector, and a door and window sensor. The Viper Android or iOS app alerts you to what's going on at home and lets you loop in the brand's car-related products. Spend an additional $150 and you can tack on a camera and motion detector accessory. The battery-powered camera has an adhesive backing that's easy to install and delivers decent video quality, but you have to pay a $10 monthly fee for live streaming. Read CNET's full review of Viper Home.

MORE QUESTIONS...K up 1--How? (See First Post)
I want to do a lifted increase using the "K up 1" stitch. I've got a book that shows in pix what I'm SUPPOSED to do but I STILL don't get it. Can anyone help explain HOW I'm supposed to do this stitch?
Thanks, in advance, for you assistance on this.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS... Okay, I've determined that the KRL and KLL is the increase I'm wanting. So here is next question... I'm knitting on arm one headed toward the back of the garment. (1) When I get to the stitch marker, WHICH do I do:
KRL, slip marker, KLL and then go about my pattern OR
KLL, slip marker, KRL and then go about my pattern.
and then (2) do I just do the opposite after I've gone across the back and am about to hit the raglan sleeve for arm 2? Again, this is a top down project.
(3...last question for now) For the stitch pattern I'm doing, I need two increase stitches per section each row and am in many cases beginning the pattern IMMEDIATELY after the increase. I saw on Amy's video that after you do the KRL and the KLL you are supposed to k1. If I've got another stitch combo (i.e. k2tog) can I just go ahead and do that or do I have to do the k1 FIRST and THEN go to my pattern.
I'm crossing my fingers I can do the increase and just mosey along as being required to k1 FIRST will cause me to have to rewrite this friggin pattern again.
: Scarf for DD, Cabled Baby Sweater for DS, Tuscany Shawl, test knit for a hat, Hippie Bolero (test knit...being a pain in the you know what)
: Garter Stitch Baby Kimono, Baby Roots Cardigan, Knitted Baby Hat, Custom Adjustable Felted Guitar Strap, Flirtation Cozy, Modified Knit Coffee Sleeve, Scarf, My So-Called Scarf, Baby Converse Shoes, Balaclava, Various Dish/Wash Cloths
Oh...and I'm

Two LG marketers quit in restructure
Paul Meadows, head of brand at LG, and Paul Trueman, marketing director of LG Electronics, have both left their jobs in a major shake-up of the brand's marketing department.
LG ad: senior marketing departures at electronics group
Trueman has only been in post since January 2010, when he replaced Andrew Warner as the top UK marketer in the electronics division.
The departures follow that of the South Korean company's global marketing chief Dermot Boden in January.
In a statement, LG confirmed that the shake-up means Steve Gate, currently head of marketing for the home entertainment division, will lead the newly established consumer electronics division.
The LG statement reads: "LG has recently restructured its marketing functions to enable it to more closely support its core business units. This will allow the company to focus on the successful marketing of its new and exciting technologies, and in turn maximise the growth opportunity that exists for LG here in the UK.
"In light of this a Consumer Electronics Marketing Team has been established, led by Steve Gater (promoted from head of marketing, Home Entertainment to chief executive of consumer marketing), and this will drive synergies across the home entertainment and home appliances businesses. Alex Windle will continue to lead the mobile communications marketing team.
"As a result of the restructuring we can confirm that Paul Trueman and Paul Meadows decided to leave the business."
LG Electronics launched the world's first 3D smartphone in February.

Montserrat ( /mɒntsəˈræt/) is an island that is a British overseas territory located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands called the Lesser Antilles in the West Indies. The island of Montserrat measures approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline.[2] Montserrat is nicknamed the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of some of its inhabitants.
Montserrat's Georgian era historic capital city of Plymouth was destroyed and two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee because of eruptions from the previously dormant Soufriere Hills volcano which became active on July 18, 1995.[3] The volcanic activity continues to the present, the affected areas currently being mostly in the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and also on the eastern side of the island in the area around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on February 11, 2010.
An "exclusion zone" extending from the south coast of the island north to parts of the Belham Valley has been imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Presently visitors are not permitted entry into the exclusion zone, but an impressive view of the destruction of Plymouth can be seen from the top of Garibaldi Hill in Isles Bay. Relatively quiet since early 2010, the volcano continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
While construction proceeds, the centre of government rests at Brades, as a nearby new town develops at Little Bay, the new port, in the northwest of the island.

Montserrat was populated by Arawak and Carib native people when it was claimed by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493, naming the island Santa Maria de Montserrat, after the Monastery of Montserrat in Catalonia. The island fell under English control in 1632[4] when anti-Catholic violence in Nevis forced a group of Irish, many of whom had been unwillingly transported from Ireland as indentured servants, to settle in Montserrat. A neo-feudal colony developed.[5] The importation of African slaves, common to most Caribbean islands, began early and an economy based on sugar, rum, arrowroot and Sea Island cotton was established using slave labour. By the late 1700s there were many plantations on the island. Many Irish people were also taken as slaves to the island, some of whom were political prisoners taken there by Oliver Cromwell.[6]
In 1782, during the American Revolutionary War, Montserrat was briefly captured by France. It was returned to Great Britain under the Treaty of Paris which ended that conflict. A failed slave uprising on March 17, 1768[7] led to the celebration of St Patrick's Day as a public holiday in Montserrat, and festivities held that week celebrate the culture of Montserrat, through songs, dances, and traditional costumes and foods. Slavery was abolished in Montserrat in 1834.
Falling sugar prices during the nineteenth century had an adverse effect on the island's economy, and in 1857 the British philanthropist Joseph Sturge bought a sugar estate to prove it was economically viable to employ paid labour rather than slaves.
Various members of the Sturge family bought additional land and in 1869 established the Montserrat Company Limited and planted lime trees, started the commercial production of lime juice, set up a school, and sold parcels of land to the inhabitants of the island, with the result that much of Montserrat came to be owned by smallholders.[8][6]
From 1871 to 1958 Montserrat was administered as part of the federal crown colony of the British Leeward Islands, becoming a province of the short-lived West Indies Federation from 1958 to 1962. In 1979, The Beatles producer George Martin's AIR Studios Montserrat opened and the island attracted world-famous musicians who came to record in the peaceful, quiet and lush tropical surroundings of Montserrat.[9] The last decade of the 20th century, however, brought two events which devastated the island.
In the early hours of September 17, 1989 Hurricane Hugo, a Category 4 storm, struck Montserrat with full force producing sustained winds of 140 miles per hour and damaging over 90 percent of the structures on the island. AIR Studios closed, and the tourist economy upon which the island depended was virtually wiped out. Within a few years the island had recovered considerably—only to be struck again by disaster in 1995.
In July 1995, Montserrat's Soufriere Hills volcano, dormant for centuries, rumbled to life and began an eruption which eventually buried the island's capital, Plymouth, in more than 12 metres (39 ft) of mud, destroyed its airport and docking facilities, and rendered the southern part of the island (the "exclusion zone") uninhabitable and not safe to travel in. The southern part of the island was evacuated and visits are severely restricted.[10] The exclusion zone also includes two sea areas adjacent to the land areas that have seen the most volcanic activity.[2]
Following the destruction of Plymouth, more than half of the population left the island because of the economic disruption and lack of housing. After a period of regular eruptive events during the late 1990s, including one on June 25, 1997 in which nineteen people died when they were overtaken by a pyroclastic flow, subsequently for a number of years the volcano's activity consisted mostly of infrequent ventings of ash into the uninhabited areas in the south. The ash falls occasionally extended into the northern and western parts of the island.
The most recent period of increased activity at the Soufriere Hills volcano, from November 2009 through February 2010, saw ash venting, a vulcanian explosion which sent pyroclastic flows down several sides of the mountain, and on February 11, 2010 a partial collapse of the lava dome that sent a column of ash more than 20,000 feet (6,100 m) into the air, raining down on several nearby islands including Guadeloupe and Antigua. Since 2010, the volcano has been relatively quiet.[11]
Despite the volcanic activity, a large part of Montserrat remains lush and green. In February 2005, The Princess Royal officially opened a new airport at Gerald's in the north (renamed the John A. Osborne Airport); As of 2011[update] it handles several flights daily operated by Fly Montserrat Airways. Docking facilities are in place at Little Bay, where a new capital town is being constructed. The new government centre is at Brades, a short distance away.
The people of Montserrat were granted full residency rights in the United Kingdom in 1998, and British citizenship was granted in 2002.
Montserrat is divided into three parishes:
Only Saint Peter Parish is currently inhabited, having a population of between 4,000 and 6,000.[12] Saint Peter Parish covers the north-west of the island,[13] and was therefore least affected by the eruptions of Soufrière Hills, the island's volcano. The other two are too dangerous to live in because, as of 2012, the volcano is still active.
Villages and towns that are within the safe zone are shown in boldface. The villages and towns that are known to be within the exclusion zone are shown in parentheses, since they cannot be accessed and are abandoned. Also see List of settlements abandoned after the 1997 Soufrière Hills eruption.
The island of Montserrat is located approximately 480 km (300 mi) east-southeast of Puerto Rico and 48 km (30 mi) southwest of Antigua. It comprises 104 km2 (40 sq mi) but is currently gradually increasing in size owing to the buildup of volcanic deposits on the southeast coast. The island is 16 km (9.9 mi) long and 11 km (6.8 mi) wide, with rock cliffs rising 15 to 30 m (50–100 feet) above the sea and a number of smooth bottomed sandy beaches scattered among coves on the western (Caribbean) side of the island.
Montserrat has two islets, Little Redonda and Virgin, and Statue Rock.
Montserrat, like many isolated islands, is home to some exceptionally rare plant and animal species. Work undertaken by the Montserrat National Trust in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has centred on the conservation of pribby (Rondeletia buxifolia) in the Centre Hills region. Until 2006, this species was known only from one book about the vegetation of Montserrat.[14] In 2006, conservationists also rescued several plants of the endangered Montserrat orchid (Epidendrum montserratense) from dead trees on the island and installed them in the security of the island's botanic garden.
Montserrat is also home to the Critically Endangered Giant Ditch Frog (Leptodactylus fallax), known locally as the Mountain Chicken, found only in Montserrat and Dominica. The species has undergone catastrophic declines due to the amphibian disease Chytridiomycosis and the volcanic eruption in 1997. Experts from Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust have been working with the Montserrat Department of Environment to conserve the frog in-situ in a project called "Saving the Mountain Chicken", and an ex-situ captive breeding population has been set up in partnership with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, Zoological Society of London, North of England Zoological Society, Parken Zoo and the Governments of Montserrat and Dominica. Releases from this programme have already taken place in a hope to increase the numbers of the frog and reduce extinction risk from the ever present Chytridiomycosis.
Montserrat is known for its coral reefs and its caves along the shore. These caves house many species of bats, and efforts are underway to monitor and protect the ten species of bats from extinction.[15][16]
From 1979 to 1989 Montserrat was home to a branch of George Martin's AIR Studios which made the island popular with working musicians who often went there to record while taking advantage of the island's climate and beautiful surroundings.
Since the devastations of Hurricane Hugo and the eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano, the Montserratian economy has been effectively halted. Export businesses currently based in Montserrat deal primarily in the selling and shipping of aggregate for construction. Imports include virtually everything available for sale on the island.
The island's operating budget is largely supplied by the British government and administered through the Department for International Development (DFID) amounting to approximately £25 million per year. Additional amounts are secured through income and property taxes, license and other fees as well as customs duties levied on imported goods.
Population: 5,879 (2008 estimate)
Note: an estimated 8,000 refugees left the island (primarily to the UK) following the resumption of volcanic activity in July 1995; few have returned. Pre-eruption population was 13,000 in 1994.

Cricket is a popular sport in Montserrat. Players from Montserrat are in fact eligible to play for the West Indies cricket team. Jim Allen was the first to play for West Indies and he represented the World Series Cricket West Indians. No other player from Montserrat had gone on to represent West Indies until Lionel Baker made his One Day International debut against Pakistan in November 2008.[22]
Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in Montserrat.
Montserrat has its own FIFA affiliated football team, and has twice competed in the World Cup qualifiers. A field for the team was built near the airport by FIFA. The Montserrat team are currently tied for 203rd place in the FIFA world rankings with 4 other teams, including American Samoa and San Marino. In 2002, the team competed in a friendly match with the second-lowest-ranked team in FIFA at that time, Bhutan, in The Other Final- the same day as the final of the 2002 World Cup. Bhutan won 4-0.

(AP Photo/File) by Tim DahlbergAP Boxing Writer LAS VEGAS (AP) — One point on one card, a couple of points on some others. Ken Norton fought the greats, but the decisions he needed to be great never seemed to go his way. He busted Muhammad Ali's jaw to hand him only his second defeat. But he lost two narrow decisions to Ali the next two times they'd meet, including their final 1976 fight at Yankee Stadium. And after he lost by just one point to Larry Holmes in their 1978 heavyweight title fight, Norton's career was all but over. "Kenny was a good, good fighter. He beat a lot of guys," said Ed Schuyler Jr., who covered many of Norton's fights for The Associated Press. "He gave Ali fits because Ali let him fight coming forward instead of making him back up."

Get a group of pool servicepeople together in a room, and the subject of salt chlorination will come up sooner or later
Though it would be nice if customers always had specific, accurate reasons for service calls, that isn't always the case.
The sudden appearance of a stain or other surface discoloration often brings a barrage of questions, both from the homeowner and the service professional: What caused it? Can it be removed? Can it be prevented from returning? And of course, the ever-popul
Scale, stains and cloudy water are the most common challenges with saltwater pools — but only if they are not maintained correctly.
Between the rising costs of electricity and growing consumer demand for "green" water treatment solutions, ultraviolet (UV) radiation is becoming an increasingly popular tool for disinfecting pools and spas.
One additional application of ultraviolet radiation (UV) — and a potential complement to a UV system — is ozone
Water clarity is a crucial aspect of pool maintenance, whether a job site involves a small family pool or a huge commercial vessel
It typically appears when calcium attaches to carbonate in the water and grows less soluble at higher temperatures.
Most pool professionals can tell you how ozone stacks up against traditional sanitizers such as chlorine and bromine.
If you have spent most of your career working exclusively on concrete pools, it's crucial to learn about the distinct differences between vinyl and concrete before accepting maintenance jobs that involve package pools.

Moondoggies: 1 giant CD, 14 great songs
The 14 songs on the Moondoggies' debut, "Don't Be a Stranger," add up to a total of 55 minutes — about two and a half songs too many. But one song at a time, the album is brilliant.
Special to The Seattle Times
On the Internet
The Moondoggies: www.myspace.com/themoondoggies
The Moondoggies
Album-release party with Grant Olsen of Arthur & Yu, Whalebones and Genepool, 9 p.m. Thursday at the Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave. N.W., Seattle; $8 (206-789-3599 or tractortavern.ypguides.net).Too much of a good thing happens. With music, ear fatigue sets in, songs are skipped, CDs ejected. In rare cases, though, too much of a good thing turns out to be a great thing when the good thing is so damn good that even too much is not enough.
The 14 songs on the Moondoggies' debut, "Don't Be a Stranger," add up to a total of 55 minutes — about two and a half songs too many, too long to absorb in one sitting. Before you get to the final song, the glorious, gospel-ish "I Want You to Know," you will probably either leave your apartment or arrive at wherever it is you're going and have to turn off the music.
"It definitely feels like an hour, the times we've sat down and listened to it," says bandleader Kevin Murphy, taking a break from baking cookies at Caffe Ladro. "We recorded 22 songs, and it was one of those things where it was hard to cut. You just click over songs, I guess."
This is the reality of the MP3 age. In the end, skipping around the album might be OK.
"There are albums I've put on when I'm going to bed to fall asleep to and for weeks not heard the last song," Murphy continues. "I had a tape when I was little of [Nirvana's] "Nevermind," and I'd always fall asleep at the 'On a Plain' song. It was four months before I was awake for the last two songs."
One song at a time, "Don't Be a Stranger" — set for release this Tuesday on Hardly Art — is brilliant, each gem deserving a number in the Great American Jukebox. Like predecessors the Band, the Grateful Dead and Crazy Horse, the Moondoggies (Murphy plus Robert Terreberry on bass, Carl Dahlen on drums and Caleb Quick on keyboards) make motion music, a harmonious fusion of Southern soul, cosmic country and blue-blood rock, perfect for driving through the lonesome crowded West. Nothing of their rollicking, fifth-gear overdrive is lost in the translation from stage to studio. Old favorites like "Black Shoe" and "Night and Day" are juke-joint mug-swinging singalongs. In contrast, songs that don't get played live — like the traditional, piano-and-handclap "Jesus on the Mainline" and solemn "The Undertaker" — are haunting and downtrodden, flush with the blues.
You look at song titles like "Ain't No Lord" and "Save My Soul," hear lyrics like "I'm goin' down to die" and "I wanna believe in something bigger than me" and think, are the Moondoggies religious? Obsessed with death?
"One of my favorite Jack Kerouac quotes was from when he was writing 'On the Road,' " Murphys says. "Someone asked him why he wrote the book and he said, 'Because we're all gonna die.' It's just trying to get out as much as you can before it happens. It's not being preoccupied with death, it's acknowledging the fact and not feeling like it's a drag."
As far as searching for salvation: "[The band was] all raised with the same kind of Christian upbringing, and we're kind of moving away from that. I'm kind of agnostic, but I definitely tend toward some spiritual feelings. It's more a desperation, I think, when people are feeling kind of down — the old, old blues, singing about Jesus. I like songs where there's that desperate plea, that old stuff. There's a lot of hope in that, too."
As much as they're meaningful, the lyrics serve a bigger purpose: They are the vehicle for the Moondoggies' triple-throated, wall-of-sound vocals. They are suggestive declarations — "All night long!" "I don't feel like changing!" "Moonlight in your eyes!" — sung with earnest, heart-swollen joy. And of earnest, heart-swollen joy there can never be too much.
Jeez! This week's must-see shows all go down tonight:

By LARRY VAUGHT
Kentucky coach John Calipari invited local media members to watch his team practice Monday — with the stipulation that only personal impressions, not team or player specifics, could be reported.
However, considering that UK kicks off a six-game exhibition tour in the Bahamas Sunday, there were plenty of worthwhile impressions to share.
— Calipari's hip replacement surgery seems to have been a huge succees. No pain, no limp. The coach has his "swagger" back and was all over the practice court pointing out glaring errors as well as small ones. And there's only one whistle in practice — and that belongs to Calipari. His staff surrounded the court, but Calipari did all the coaching, teaching, correcting, butt-chewing.
— Everyone knows that freshman shooting guard Devin Booker can shoot. But he can also make shots. He reminds you more of Doron Lamb than James Young, but like both players he is a shot maker. He also seemed to listen well and figure out what Calipari and teammates were showing and telling him quickly.
But the best news might be that Kentucky sure looked like a team that could be much better from 3-point range than last year. Guard Aaron Harrison was unreal in NCAA play and still has his range. Andrew Harrison, who still has the blue sleeve on his left arm that he started wearing when he injured himself in NCAA play, can shoot. Freshman guard Tyler Ulis is a better shot than most realize and big man Karl-Anthony Towns may not have a true jump shot, but he can make 3-pointers. And as he promised, it seemed like sophomore Dominique Hawkins has dramatically improved his shooting range.
— Perhaps the shot that surprised me the most was the left-handed, baseline hook shot from Marcus Lee. He's also working hard on a 15-foot shot that can only make his amazing leaping ability even a more potent weapon. Lee seems to have put on some weight and was not nearly as tentative around the basket. Plus, he has the team's best haircut — a Mohawk — that makes him look even faster running the court.
— Towns is big, really big. He seems to have benefited from UK's summer workout program and looks thicker, bigger than in high school. He is a big-time finisher at the basket and is a nifty passer. He's got to learn about the physical nature of defense and screens, but again he was a willing listener and he'll be able to function well in transition. Once he went the wrong one on a play and knew it even before Calipari stopped play to point it out. For a freshman in August, that's impressive.
— Ulis is small, but he never looked that small to me in high school until spotted between Dakari Johnson and Booker during a full-court drill. However, his quickness is as good as advertised. He can get by defenders and his passing might even be better than I thought after watching him play last season. He's not afraid to go inside and his no-look passes are going to make sure teammates stay alert.
— Remember all the body language talk about the Harrison twins last season, especially early in the year. None of that at this practice. In fact, they were usually the first to congratulate a teammate after drills and constantly drew praise from Calipari for their effort and decision-making. Both twins seemed to be having a lot of fun, something that might not have always been true last year. Both looked slimmer and trimmer and Andrew seems even more potent going inside.
— Continuing the trend, Alex Poythress looked trimmer and in mid-season shape already. He spent a lot of time on pull-up jumpers and was handling the ball a lot. He can still explode to the basket and proved that when he drove the baseline and dunked over Towns, who is a solid defender.
— Sophomore center Dakari Johnson is still a man's man, but he looked leaner and quicker getting up and down the floor. He also seemed to be elevating higher than last year. More surprising, he once put the ball on the floor and split the defense when he got the opportunity, something I never remember him doing last year.
— Calipari has had incredible teams at Kentucky, but this team has ridiculous size and incredible skill. Guards don't mind rebounding. Bigs can handle the ball. Passing could be a team strength at every position. Even better, after watching practice for two hours, there's not one player that jumps out as the team's star or best player. Instead, it's a team filled with really good players and that was without Willie Cauley-Stein and Trey Lyles, who will not play in the Bahamas as they recover from injuries, on the court. And for those worried about potential ego problems on this team, it sure didn't look that way as this group seems to have bonded well already.
— Finally, make plans now to attend the Blue-White game Oct. 27. Big Blue Madness might get the hype, but seeing this roster go against each other could be a rare, rare treat.

Number of ships: 2
Ship capacity: 2,700 passengers
Price range: Inexpensive
The audience: Of course the majority of passengers are traveling with at least one young child, and probably more. (Yep, those are the squeals of "tag" you hear on the pool deck.) But the line has done a terrific job of setting aside adults-only areas on both ships—at the pool, at dinnertime—and Castaway Cay, the private isle in the Bahamas, has a grown-ups' beach, too.
Strengths: Cabins come with second bathrooms—a real plus for families trying to get several sets of teeth brushed at bedtime—and lots of space to pull out the sleeper sofa. The subliminal Mickey-head decor is in fact subtle, so you have to look closely to find the mouse-ear patterns in the rug and curtains.
Weaknesses: The pervasive commercialism can be overwhelming, from the Disney programming on the TV to the Disney toys in the gift shops to the cartoon-themed live shows. You may not be able to find Mickey, but Mickey will find you.
Insider tip: Don't kill yourself packing for every family eventuality. The ships contain all sorts of lifesavers, from cribs to prepared-to-order baby food to diapers. There's also evening babysitting service for kids three and under—meaning parents can have a night to themselves.
Itineraries: Focused on the Caribbean and the Meditteranean. A four-day Bahamas cruise might depart from Port Canaveral, Florida, and stop in Nassau and at Castaway Cay, the line's private island ($499 per person, plus $329 for each child under 12).
