That's right. Here is the specific law:
18 USC § 2332a(C) Definitions. For purposes of this section
. . . . . .
(2) the term weapon of mass destruction means
(A) any destructive device as defined in section 921 of this title;
18 USC § 921 - Definitions
4 The term "destructive device" means
(B) any type of weapon (other than a shotgun or a shotgun shell which the Attorney General finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes) by whatever name known which will, or which may be readily converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant, and which has any barrel with a bore of more than one-half inch in diameter; and
(C) any combination of parts either designed or intended for use in converting any device into any destructive device described in subparagraph (A) or (B) and from which a destructive device may be readily assembled.
There is however, this caveat:
The term destructive device shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned, or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 4684 (2), 4685, or 4686 of title 10; or any other device which the Attorney General finds is not likely to be used as a weapon, is an antique, or is a rifle which the owner intends to use solely for sporting, recreational or cultural purposes.
So in short, it's up to the AG to determine whether you intended your potato gun to be a weapon or a recreational device.

reviews & comments (6)
I used canned clams and bottled clam juice, as well as canned garbanzo beans. Turns out great each time. The flavors -- garbanzo beans, rosemary and clams -- go surprisingly well together.
Odd little recipe, but I thought it was quite good. A subtle and slightly unusual flavor and texture.
I actually followed the directions and thought it was a great rustic dish. Not overly complicated or fussy, just good food for a cool night. It does need a little s/p, but otherwise works fine as is. People, please don't use canned clams.
I made this using major shortcuts tonight-I sauteed the garlic, rosemary and red pepper flakes in the olive oil before adding a can of chickpeas with their liquid, AND I used canned chopped clams) and I also added a head of roasted garlic and it was a nice, easy, hearty, pretty delicious supper. I might add chopped tomatoes next time to jazz it up a little.

Configuring KDM and GDM
The First Display
Both KDE and GNOME have display
managers.We'll look at the features
offered by KDM and GDM,and we'll
examine how to configure a display
manager for your Linux system.
On many systems, the display or
login manager is the first GUI
program the user sees. Most
major distributions automatically launch
the X Window system. Users type their
names and passwords to log on and
select an environment. They can often
select other options, such as an option
for shutting down or rebooting.
KDM, by the KDE project, and its
Gnome counterpart GDM are the most
popular display managers, but there are
a number of alternatives, such as the
legacy XDM or the small-footprint WDM
managers. The login manager has no
influence on the desktop the machine
runs; even the biggest KDE fans could
still use GDM to log on to the system and
launch their favorite environment. The
only disadvantage is that installing GDM
puts a lot of Gnome libraries
on your hard disk, taking up
valuable storage space. This
article explains how to change
the display manager on
Fedora Core 2, Suse Linux 9.1,
and Mandrake Linux 10.0,
and how you can add window
managers to the drop-down

BAEThe Soviets exploded their first nuclear weapon in 1949. China revealed plans for its own stealth bomber last year.
But there are still some weapons the rest of the world doesn't have.
Weapons like the MQ9 Reaper Drone, the Laser Avenger and the ADAPTIV cloaking give U.S. troops the advantage on any battlefield around the world.
Some of these weapons have been around for several years but were recently modified, and some are still in production.
These are the game changers.

Pygmalion Women and Femininity Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
THE DAUGHTER. Well, haven't you got a cab? FREDDY. There's not one to be had for love or money. THE MOTHER. Oh, Freddy, there must be one. You can't have tried. THE DAUGHTER. It's too tiresome. Do you expect us to go and get one ourselves? (1.12-5)
The mother and daughter, Mrs. and Miss Eynsford Hill, reinforce typical notions of femininity. It is a man's job, not a woman's, to go out and brave the elements.
She is no doubt as clean as she can afford to be; but compared to the ladies she is very dirty. Her features are no worse than theirs; but their condition leaves something to be desired; and she needs the services of a dentist] (1.29)
Eliza is not intrinsically divided from her fellow women. The comparability of their features – the only things which, for Eliza, are not totally diminished by her poverty – only reinforces their equal standing as women.
HIGGINS. There! As the girl very properly says, Garn! Married indeed! Don't you know that a woman of that class looks a worn out drudge of fifty a year after she's married. (2.105)
Higgins's views are stereotypical, but his comments do speak to the difficulties which come with raising a family in poverty.

Wooohooo!!!! They are my favorite too, I liked the out come. |
We are all thinking alike. I loved their free style dance the other night. I bet the judges were mad that Stacy didn't get it. It wasn't hard to tell she was their favorite! Judy |
- Posted by elaine_canada (My Page) on Mon, Feb 27, 06 at 7:48
I totally agree - I love Drew and Cheryl.......glad they won. Stacey wasn't hard to look at though - I thought it would come down to those two couples and I was really hoping Drew and Cheryl would win. Elaine |
They were my favorites right from the beginning. Jerry is a sweetie but I felt he was a little stiff and didn't loosen up 'til towards the end. My favorite Pro dancer is Maksim! ~Urlee~ |
I think it would have been a better show last night if they had let the pros do some dances together instead of showing the past clips over and over again. Judy |
Now that is something I would like to do with a picture. Do you do this in PSP or AS? That would be neat as I am into scrapbooking and learning digital scrapbooking. Will someone explain to me how that picture is done. |
Gloria, That was done using the PSP's Frames. I used two of the frames and added the color I wanted. |
Oh, I forgot! There was more to it than just the frame etc. I added in the other from a tute called Ghost Image. ~~Urlee~~ |
Like this, you mean? |
Where do I find a tut that will show me how to do this with a picture? |
Gloria, I didn't have a tute. Just fiddled around with what I had in PSP. ~Urlee~ |

The V-6 in the C350 is a full 1.2 seconds faster from 0 to 60 mph than the C250, which feels great when you're passing the tourist buses waddling uphill, and when you're on the island's fast ring road. But flinging along with those yellow rocks in your peripheral vision is a much more entertaining proposition in the C250. Its combined fuel economy is being touted at an estimated 24, a nice bonus over the C300's 20mpg and the C350's 21 mpg.
For you diesel fans, it's coming. The late arrival of the C250 CDI is an interesting story. Production of the next-generation, NAFTA-model C-Class moves to Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2013. That's when you'll get your diesel. As MBNA public relations chief Geoff Day points out, when you can still get double-digit fuel economy improvement with internal combustion gas engines, diesel just isn't as critical. That could very easily change by 2013. Any bets on the price of gasoline in two years?
The four-wheel independent suspension (three-link, strut-type in front, multi-link rear) with stabilizer bars front and rear, is carryover. Adding the Dynamic Handling Package allows you to choose between comfort and a sporty setting with the push of a dash button, and a dial next to the gear selector will change shift points from economy to sport mode. If you live on Tenerife, it makes a big different on the ravaged interior roads.
Five new driver assistance systems based on state-of-the-art camera, radar, and sensor technology, make it into the C-class. Attention Assist to detect driver drowsiness is included. Adaptive High Beam Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Parktronic are available as options.
Timing and pricing
Because of its late summer arrival in the U.S., the new C-class will be badged as a 2012 model. Base price, if it follows the typical M-B pattern of launching a refreshed model at the same price as the outgoing car or at an "equipment-based, better value price," should be in the low $30,000 range.
No word on AMG pricing, but we are assured that the C-class AMG models -- launched in Europe with the more prosaic C-class models -- will make it to America in August. The C63 AMG coupe, revealed to the press under strict photo embargo, will show its striking face at the upcoming New York Auto Show. Check back with automobilemag.com for the details.

I would try getting Squid to work as a normal proxy (non transparent) first then go for transparent mode. Many of the howtos recommend this as transparent proxying adds another level of complexity. If you are experiencing dns issues you can check the squid logs to ensure its adding your nameservers correctly. Can't remember which log contains this information.
Don't know much about BWM but for transparent proxying to work this needs to be intercepting packets from your clients destined for http ports and redirecting them to your squid port (3128).

Honolulu police say a juvenile was charged in the beating death of 62-year-old Anthony Montero, also known as Paul Manner, in Pawa'a last Friday.
Officers arrested a 16-year-old boy who now faces a manslaughter charge.
Early Friday morning near the intersection of South King Street and Punahou Street, the homeless Montero was assaulted. He died from his injuries a short time later.
Police say they are not looking for additional suspects.

So discouraging. I wish humanity could wake up to what we are doing to the natural world. -- Dallas
Chimps, gorillas, other apes struggling to survive
BANGKOK (AP) — The multibillion-dollar trade in illegal wildlife — clandestine trafficking that has driven iconic creatures like the tiger to near-extinction — is also threatening the survival of great apes, a new U.N. report says.
Endangered chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas and bonobos are disappearing from the wild in frightening numbers, as private owners pay top dollar for exotic pets, while disreputable zoos, amusement parks and traveling circuses clamor for smuggled primates to entertain audiences.
More than 22,000 great apes are estimated to have been traded illegally over a seven-year period ending in 2011. That's about 3,000 a year; more than half are chimpanzees, the U.N. report said.
"These great apes make up an important part of our natural heritage. But as with all things of value, great apes are used by man for commercial profit and the illegal trafficking of the species constitutes a serious threat to their existence," Henri Djombo, a government minister from the Republic of Congo, was quoted as saying.
The U.N. report paints a dire picture of the fight to protect vulnerable and dwindling flora and fauna from organized criminal networks that often have the upper hand.
Apes are hunted in their own habitats, which are concentrated in central and western Africa, by sophisticated smugglers who transport them on private cargo planes using small airstrips in the African bush. Their destination is usually the Middle East and Asia.
In countries like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Lebanon, great apes are purchased to display as show pieces in private gardens and menageries. [CONTINUE]
Tags: apes, extinction, poaching, primates
Me too !
As with all things of value, humans use anything and everything for commercial profit. I wonder where their sense of morals and ethics derive?
I don't think morals or ethics comes into play. Of course, many vegans think I'm a terrible person for not being a vegan.
Still, I don't blame the poachers as much as I blame the end users who drive it. I bet the poachers are often poor, uneducated, and somewhat desperate people who don't understand the global consequences of their actions.
The majority of the blame falls on the end users--those who want to imprison this creatures for entertainment, or stuff them like furniture.
The unending conceit and vanity of humans!!!!!
Dallas, yes, you are correct to emphasize the buyers and users of such treasures. The "poor, uneducated, desperate people are not the ones to challenge.
Very sad news - I hope after attention is given to this problem maybe things will change.
It's disgusting.

Ever had an off day at the range? Today was my day. Oh, I grouped the rounds just fine, my trusty Gen 4 G23 never lets me down on that.
But I mucked reloads, dropped mags, had double taps all over the place, got my shirt tangled around my pistol when doing IWB draws, and shot like crapola off handed. I'm honestly surprised I didn't drop my gun!
But I guess a bad day shooting is better than a good day working, right?
I have had plenty of "off days" playing golf, but this is my first really bad day at the range in two years. Does this happen to others?

Leaders meet the Emporer of Japan: 46 handshakes, one bow.
Submitted by paul4won on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 18:56For those who insist Obamao (I like that one!) is merely being culturally sensitive, here is the evidence that he is merely being an embarassment - again.
for some reason the censor wont allow my comment...

No American President Ever Bowed to a Foreign Leader — Until Now
Sunday, November 15, 2009 11:14 PM
By: Daniel Ruddy
President Obama created a new presidential precedent when he bowed to the Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko Saturday.
No president of the United States in the more than 230 years since the country was founded in 1776 had ever bowed to a member of royalty. That was until Barack Obama's presidency.
In April, President Obama bowed to the Saudi king during the G-20 meeting. At the time, Obama's deferential bow was somewhat obscured, and the White House insisted that the president simply had leaned forward to shake the king's hand.
But the president's recent demonstration of royal deference to the Japanese emperor and empress suggests his earlier action was no aberration.

What should we make of this? Is it trivial to worry about what on its face could easily be interpreted as nothing more than a polite gesture by our president to respect the culture of a country?
America was founded on republican virtues — small "r," that is. Like the French Republic, our nation does not recognize royalty or social rank, especially from officials of the republic.
The conduct of our president when he deals with foreign leaders is a serious matter. After all, he represents the American people and our Constitution.
Indeed, when President Obama bows before a foreign leader, the whole country bows with him.
It is difficult to grasp what President Obama's motives are for bowing to foreign royalty (it would be nice if a reporter asked his press secretary Robert Gibbs why he does it).
But Obama's motives do not really matter when we consider his behavior.
What matters is how the rest of the world will interpret his actions. When it comes to bowing before foreign leaders, there is a fine line between showing politeness and servility, between respect and weakness.
The United States leads the free world, and it goes without saying that our president as commander in chief is duty bound to protect the nation, and our allies by treaty. He should act in such a way that strengthens, not weakens, his position.
If we as American citizens wonder about how our president should act with foreign leaders when he meets with them in person, let us look to the history of the United States for guidance.
First, there is our cherished Constitution. When the Founding Fathers wrote it, they made abundantly clear their distaste of the hereditary forms of government that then dominated Europe.
Article I, section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states: "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State."
As the nation's first constitutional leader, President George Washington set the tone. When it was proposed that he be called "His Highness the President of the United States of America and the Protector of Their Liberties," Washington scoffed at the idea and demanded he be called simply, "Mr. President."
No president better exemplified the republican virtues of the country than Thomas Jefferson, who had a purely American disdain for the pretensions of royal power which he believed were not legitimately derived from the people.
As he stated so eloquently in the Declaration of Independence, power was not derived from bloodlines or royal coronations. Instead he argued that since "all men are created equal" a government should exist by "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
Jefferson's breezy indifference to the English monarchy was on display during his first days in the White House.
When the monarch's new ambassador to the United States called for the first time to present his credentials he was not required to bow in front of the nation's sovereign. In accordance with American values, he was assumed to be an equal, not a subject.
And so all he had to do was walk up to the White House and knock on the door (there were no guards or royal attendants).
Once he was beckoned inside, "a tall, high-boned man came into the room. He was dressed, or rather undressed, in an old brown coat, red waistcoat, old corduroy small-clothes much soiled, woollen hose, and slippers without heels. I thought him a servant," said the visitor, "when General Varnum surprised me by announcing that it was the president."
According to the historian Henry Adams, the casual dress and easy-going manners of the new president were more important than they might seem at first glance.
"The seriousness of Jefferson's experiments in etiquette," Adams observed, "consisted in the belief that they were part of a political system which involved a sudden change of policy toward two great powers. [They] were but the social expression of an altered feeling which found its political expression in acts marked by equal disregard of usage."
The British ambassador and other diplomats to the United States were offended by Jefferson's refusal to follow the rules of the Old World, but that did not matter to Jefferson or his countrymen, who re-elected him with a resounding majority of popular support.
Jefferson understood that symbolism was important.
Another president who promoted this egalitarian ideal was Franklin Roosevelt.

Pretty good diner food, just remember that its just that, diner food. Live down the street and delivery is usually in 20 min or less. Got the pancakes the other day and it was great, 3 big chocolate chip pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausages, and a large coffee for 18 bucks, perfect for 2 people.

I love bus stop. I have been ordering from here for 7 years. They are always fast and, while their food is sometimes different (not in quality, but in type of French fry for example), it is still what you expect. The food is typical diner food. The prices have increased over the years while the quality hasn't really changed. Anytime I have had to deal with someone over the phone, it has been pleasant.

I'm lowering my review because you've instituted a delivery fee and your prices on the app are higher than in the restaurant. The people who order from this app are giving the restaurant the opportunity to take advantage of volume discounts when ordering supplies and food and they don't have to clean up after us or try to squeeze us into their cramped, busy seating area. We should not be penalized. Many other restaurants do not charge a fee or raise their prices.

One of the few diner options in the area, so I order from here once a week or so. The Lunch/dinner items (turkey club, gyro platter, etc.) are better than the breakfast items (homefries and omelettes are cold by the time they arrive).

Definitely a good find. I'm about 15 blocks away. We ordered the turkey burger, a club sand which and iced coffee. The items the iced coffee was bagged separately and wrapped. Turkey burger was really good. The club was a bit soggy but it also came with fries so that's just due to packaging hot and cold together. Delivery came in about 32 minutes, nice delivery person too. I'd definitely recommend.

Last time I will ever order from here. I ordered steak and eggs with home fries. They decided to substitute with soggy fries. When I called to express my concerns that every time I order it is not consistent. The girl that picked up the phone said it isn't her problem. Last time they are getting money from me.

Link asked as the cashier lady handed him his credit card back."No." I grumbled. "I'm really hungry, and my stomach won't shut up."Link laughed as he put his wallet in his back pocket. "Well, what happened?"I narrowed my eyes at him. "Sheik locked his door and finished then off in two minutes."Link smirked and laughed. "Yep, I knew it.""Knew what?" I asked, irritated with him from not telling me Sheik was stealing my pancakes while he was annoying me."Me and Aryl made a bet on who would get the pancakes. I won."My mouth dropped open.

Faces - Eric Thompson
Eric Thompson
In June, Eric Thompson will start a job he had never expected: driving a Wienermobile.
Truman scholar
Annie Morrison has always been interested in health care issues, especially those pertaining to women. Growing up in the Ozark Mountains area of West Plains, southeast of Springfield, Morrison credits her social awareness to her family and the community in which she grew up.
Now an English and biology major in her junior year at MU, Morrison's interest and involvement in health care and public service are paying off. Morrison was one of only 75 students from across the country to be selected as a Truman Scholar, which recognizes undergraduates' future dedication to the field of public service. It also comes with a $30,000 scholarship toward graduate school.
Stephens archives help the future
Stepping into the Stephens College Archives is a little like stepping into someone's basement. There are concrete floors, metal shelves swathed in protective plastic and stacked boxes.
Here, the windows are covered by dark shades, and fluorescent lights bouncing off white walls make the room seem stark.
Librarians at MU study romance novels
Rippling biceps, chiseled abs and a steamy love affair can be bought when you purchase your eggs and milk.
Romance novels, commonly found in grocery stores and libraries, comprise 48 percent of all popular paperback fiction sold in North America.
Slang: Is it bunk or tight?
It's not what you say; it's how you say it.
Generation after generation has spoken its mind through slang, and college students are no different.
The stories she hears
Let me tell you about the time Elaine Lawless spent a summer visiting women's shelters in Missouri. Everywhere she went, she heard story after story after story. A woman would start by saying, "My God, last Thursday …" and Elaine knew that behind "My God, last Thursday" were the words "once upon a time."
Lawless is an ethnographer — basically, someone who collects stories. She teaches students at MU how to collect the stories of communities, and she goes to academic conferences and speaks about how to listen when people tell their stories.
Kids make music with computers
Most music artists cannot wait for their first CD release party. On May 3 at the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center at MU, about 10 children who participate in the mentoring program Moving Ahead attended a party to celebrate the creation of a CD, which featured their own songs.
MU seniors Edward Watson and Andrew Duenke created the CD program for their capstone projects in service learning. Both are scheduled to receive degrees in interdisciplinary studies this weekend.
Noor Azizan-Gardner said it is her duty to educate the community about diversity issues.
Right now, she coordinates the Chancellor's Diversity Initiative at MU and is developing an undergraduate multicultural certificate, in which students apply what they have learned in their courses to hands-on experience. This can be completed by participating in a service project or by studying abroad.
Creating better diets
Alberto Maurer wants to ease world hunger by making plants more nutritious. He is a research assistant at MU working toward his doctorate in genetics.
For the past two years, he has worked in the lab of his adviser, Elizabeth Rogers, to better understand how plants acquire iron from soil. In many countries, people depend on plants as their main food source and eat little meat; this leads to many iron deficiency problems around the world.
Students earn regional honor
Columbia College members of the Students in Free Enterprise team brought home the first-runner-up trophy from the regional competition in St. Louis on April 7, according to a press release.
Students in Free Enterprise is a nonprofit organization active at more than 1,800 colleges and universities around the world.
Campus Honors
The MU Debate Team was successful in more than one way last month at the National Forensics Association Lincoln-Douglas Debate Championship at the University of Akron in Ohio.
Nick Dudley advanced past about 90 debaters from all over the country, winning the national championship.
Making women more of a workplace force
Patrice Hutton didn't want to go to college; she wanted to go to cosmetology school and open her own salon — a dream she still has. Yet today, Hutton, a student coordinator for the Network of Female Leaders at MU, is part of the initiative to help women move from college into the workforce.
The number of women attending college is rising. The National Center for Education Statistics reported a 143 percent increase in female enrollment from 1970 to 2000, compared with a 33 percent increase in male enrollment. The Center also reported that female enrollment has increased from 678,977 in 1947 to 8,967,172 in 2001, and has surpassed male enrollment.
Stepping Up
It took Rangira Béa Gallimore nearly a decade to hang up the phone.
Born in Rwanda, in central Africa, Gallimore is an associate professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at MU. She came to the United States for an education, then earned a doctorate and met her husband. She lived, taught, researched and wrote in Columbia during the Rwandan genocide in 1994, when Rwandan military and militia groups killed more than 800,000 members of the Tutsi ethnic minority and Hutu sympathizers.
Group passionate about providing aid to Rwandans
The board members of Step Up — American Association for Rwandan Women have various reasons for their involvement in the organization. Most are not as intimately linked to Rwanda as Rangira Béa Gallimore, but they share her zeal for realizing the goal of building a women's center in Kigali, Rwanda.
Anne Deaton met Gallimore a decade ago. Until then, she said, she was not fully aware of the extent of the human tragedy in Rwanda.
Picking MU's provost
At a campus forum Monday, MU provost-hopeful Raymond Alden was pointedly questioned about academic freedom as it related to an incident last year at his campus, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
There, a professor did not support a remark made in class that homosexuals are less likely to plan financially for the future. A student took offense; and, ultimately, Alden, who is provost at UNLV, placed a "non-disciplinary letter of instruction" in the professor's file.
Colleges wrap up plans for graduation
This weekend and next, Columbia will host proud parents, grandparents and keynote speakers as three of the city's higher education institutions prepare to say goodbye to their graduating students.
Stephens College is scheduled to kick off the ceremonies at 11 a.m. Saturday, with about 110 students graduating in Silverthorne Arena on campus, Stephens' news releases said.
How Do I?
The MU Counseling Center provides MU students with many services, including individual, couples and group counseling; biofeedback and stress management; testing services and consultation; and outreach presentations. All counseling, outreach and consultation services are provided, free.
Service providers include licensed psychologists, psychology interns and master's and doctoral students from the MU Department of
Tiffany Blake grew up in California with a "dairy lifestyle" and said that her interest in opera, which she has had most of her life, seems random and mysterious to her family.
In her first year at MU, Blake, an assistant visiting professor of voice and the director of Show-Me Opera, is working to dispel the idea that opera is boring.
Business school aims for diversity
The students in marketing 4185 at MU might soon change the demographics of corporate America. The class, more commonly known as the Vasey Academy, serves to introduce minority students to business and economics and provide them with academic opportunities in preparation for a career in business.
"The program enables a far greater number of minority students to become exposed to and involved in the business world," program founder Roger Vasey says. "What better way to increase diversity in the business world and provide it with a greater supply of talented people?"
Getting a fair shot
The Internet has opened new doors for today's technology-savvy college students.
A new option for measuring equality in sports, however, has people concerned the Internet could close doors for female athletes. Others say it could help re-evaluate the division of money in college athletics.

Remember the Glory Days With Rapture Earrings [Bioshock]
Once upon, Rapture might have been an okay place. Sure, that was before our time, but isn't it always nice to remember the good ol' days? These lovely BioShock-inspired earrings allow you to do just that, but with class.
Of course, the glory days turned into gory days when everyone started killing each other, but eh. Details! Besides, these earrings would be just as stylish at a party as they would at the massacre afterward.
The earrings are available for $28 (USD) in EstelledeParis' Etsy shop, where there are a few other game-inspired items sprinkled among the brass jewelry and art deco crafts. Definitely an eclectic array, but sometimes, those are the best kinds of stores!

Photos: Brewers vs. Cardinals in NLCS Game 6 – October 16, 2011
MILWAUKEE—An afterthought in early September, the St. Louis Cardinals are taking their wild ride all the way to the World Series.
David Freese hit a three-run homer in the first and manager Tony La Russa turned again to his brilliant bullpen for seven sturdy innings as St. Louis captured its 18th pennant with a 12-6 victory over the bumbling Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday night.
Albert Pujols and the wild-card Cardinals took out the heavily favored Phillies in the first round, then dispatched the division-rival Brewers on their own turf in Game 6 of the NL championship series.

Here's what GW tech editor Paul Riario hopes to find under his tree this year!
Guitar World rounds up 17 amazing practice amps that will make you sound better.
The definitive guide to Kurt Cobain's pawn shop prizes, stomp boxes and blown woofers.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario takes the new Framus Panthera Studio Supreme for a test drive.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario tries out the Select Stratocaster HSS from Fender's new Select Series line of guitars and basses.
Sometimes a pedal is just a special effect that provides a certain texture or sonic surprise that is best used sparingly. Other pedals are designed as practical tools that can form the core of a guitarist's sound. The Pigtronix Fat Drive and Philosopher's Rock pedals fall into the latter category and have already earned permanent places on many pros' pedal boards thanks to their excellent sound quality and no-nonsense designs. Best of all these pedals are sensibly priced, making any player's quest for the ultimate tone a lot easier to reach.
Jackson has announced eight new seven- and eight-string USA Select models.
The Fender bass. I love it, probably more than most, but like the Stratocaster, it is heavily copied. The classic feel and sound have kept those instruments current, even after 60 years. Speed things up to today: Technology says, "Hey, we can make a few minor improvements," and, with money being tight, sometimes buying a cheaper instrument to upgrade later is the best route.
Everyone from White Zombie to the Allman Brothers Band pulls out the ol' bottleneck in pop music. When you think about Lynyrd Skynryd's "Free Bird," are you humming the lyrics or are you humming the slide guitar line while fumbling for a cigarette lighter to hold in the air?
Yesterday, Peavey posted this new video, a demo of its AT-200 guitar with Antares Auto-Tune for Guitar. The AT-200 looks, plays and sounds just like a regular guitar.
Rotosound has introduced a new line guitar slides. The new 2mm-thick slides come in glass, steel and brass and are available in two lengths: 60mm and 40mm.
Peavey has announced its new line of DC Comics Super Heroes guitars. You can check out all three models in the photo gallery below. Available exclusively from Peavey (under license with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment), the new officially licensed instruments will feature Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern and more, in highly detailed artwork on guitars, percussion instruments and accessories.
Reverend Guitars and Naked Body Guitars have collaborated on a one-of-a kind instrument, which will be raffled off for charity on April 28. The Reverend Warhawk II, painted to match a 1967 Mustang and equipped with a Railhammer Chisel pickup, will be raffled off along with the car to raise money for The American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Maine Department of Environmental Protection Certifies New Environmental Leaders In Lodging in Ogunquit, Brunswick
January 31, 2013
Samantha Warren, Maine DEP Director of Communications, (207) 287-5842
-Abalonia Inn and the Dunes on the Waterfront in Ogunquit and the Inn at Brunswick Station in Brunswick are recognized for their voluntary efforts to reduce the impact their businesses have on the environment-
AUGUSTA – Lodging businesses in Ogunquit and Brunswick are the latest in Maine to be recognized for voluntary efforts in reducing their environmental impact by the State's Department of Environmental Protection.
The Abalonia Inn and the Dunes on the Waterfront in Ogunquit and the Inn at Brunswick Station in Brunswick were certified recently by DEP as Environmental Leaders.
The State's self-guided Environmental Leader program encourages lodging facilities, restaurants and grocers to implement sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact and save businesses money to achieve points towards green certification.
In addition to considerable cost savings, the 125 current certified lodging leaders are also incentivized to participate by recognition within marketing materials published by state tourism and industry associations and by research that shows environmental designations are attractive to customers.
DEP Commissioner Patricia W. Aho says the Environmental Leader program is one of the many ways her department supports Maine businesses and shows that what is good for the state's environment is also good for the economy.
"We are so proud of our Environmental Leader program because it engages businesses in DEP's mission of stewarding our natural resources while ensuring a vibrant and sustainable economy," Aho said. "When vacationing in Maine, travelers now have more choices than ever to choose a business that values the natural resources of our great state as much as they do."
The green practices of the Dunes on the Waterfront (http://www.dunesonthewaterfront.com), a 17-room hotel with 19 additional cottages just a short walk from Ogunquit Beach, include posting an environmental policy for visitors; relying on native plants for landscaping and vegetative buffers to protect nearby waterbodies from stormwater runoff; and using low VOC paint and efficient Energy Star appliances in the guest cottages.
Also in Ogunquit, the Abalonia Inn (http://www.abalonia.com) is a restored 1840's New England style post and beam farmhouse located in the village center that requires all employees to sign an environmental commitment letter. The inn also uses low-flow showerheads and toilet fixtures in guest rooms to conserve water and has energy-efficient lights in rooms and lighting controls in low-traffic areas to reduce electricity use and bills.
Abalonia's sister location, the Admiral's Inn, was certified earlier bringing the total certified Environmental Leaders in lodging in Ogunquit to 10, the most for a Maine town.
The Inn at Brunswick Station (http://www.innatbrunswickstation.com), with 48 guest rooms and four suites in downtown Brunswick, uses professional wet cleaning (as opposed to dry cleaning) for hotel cleaning services such as uniforms and linens; submits night audit reports electronically instead of printing them; and recycles all paper, cardboard, glass, metal and plastic, in addition to providing recycling bins in common areas and guest rooms.
In addition to the newly certified businesses, a list of longtime lodging leaders has been recertified, meaning that in the two years since they were initially certified, they have incorporated further eco-practices into their businesses to expand their environmental commitment.
They include: Acadia Cottages-Southwest Harbor; Lubec Bay Cottages-Lubec; Admiral's Inn-Ogunquit; Quality Inn & Suites Maine Evergreen Hotel-Augusta; Spencer Pond Camps-Greenville; Old Granite Inn- Rockland; Chandler House B&B-New Gloucester; Camden Riverhouse Inn-Camden; Comfort Inn South Portland-So. Portland; Camden Windward House B&B-Camden; Craignair Inn-Spruce Head; Hodgdon Pond Farm- Mt. Desert Island; Bar Harbor Grand Hotel-Bar Harbor; Bar Harbor Bluenose-Bar Harbor; Portland Marriott at Sable Oaks-So. Portland; Coveside B&B-Georgetown; Inn by the Sea-Cape Elizabeth; Ann's Point Inn-Bass Harbor; Gorges Grant Hotel-Ogunquit; Schooner J&E Riggin-out of Rockland; Quaker Tavern B&B-Falmouth; Moosehead Hills Cabins-Greenville; Solstice on David Pond-Wayne; Meadowmere Resort-Ogunquit; Flagship Inn-Boothbay Harbor; Samoset Resort-Rockport; and Wild Iris Inn-Portland.
For more information about the Environmental Leader certification program and a map of all participants, go to http://www.maine.gov/dep/sustainability or call (207) 287-8550.
