Robert Plant Concert Tickets |
Robert Plant Tickets - The Band of Joy Tour Dates are Out! Robert Plant tickets are on sale now, for Plant's tour with his originally-named group, Band of Joy. Tickets are going to be flying for this one, as everyone who ever wanted to see Led Zeppelin reunite for a concert tour will be hungry to hear their prodigal son perform live. The Robert Plant schedule hits the freeways this summer, and you can expect some extra-special tunes from the former Zep frontman. Tracks from Plant's latest album will be aired throughout the tour, which begins mid-July at Memphis' Orpheum Theater. It's a fitting starting point for the man who had the guts to name one of his most famous songs "Rock 'n' Roll". Robert Plant tours are few and far between these days, but his recent success on the road with Alison Krauss has spurred Plant on to do this one, with a new version of his pre-Zeppelin band. The Robert Plant tour dates we have here are all just waiting for anyone who appreciates the true soul of rock - and that means you! The Band of Joy will consist of the following lineup: Vocals - Patty Griffin; Multi-instrumentalist - Daryll Scott; Bass - Byron House; Drums - Marco Giovino; Guitar - Buddy Miller. Plant is busy working on a new album, and fans will be waiting eagerly for this one, as they have those that came before. The artist recently stated that as a group, Band of Joy "seem to have developed a new groove". This is good news if you have followed the progression of Plant from the original Band of Joy, to Led Zeppelin to solo and now full-circle back to where he began. Led Zeppelin will remain high on the lists of those seeking to reconstruct the glories of Rock, but this massive icon is at least obliging his fans - and his own creative needs - by hitting the road and making the live music that Robert Plant fans really want to hear. The 12-city trek will see Robert Plant tickets evaporate fast, so if you want to be there to see this monster hit those mythic high notes, buy Robert Plant tickets today and immerse yourself in the music of masterful band. This Robert Plant schedule will bring back the memories once again; Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones providing a throbbing half-slowed rumble/twang behind the ragged, pansexual posturing of the screeching idol that is Robert Plant. Plant still sports the flowing locks and the semi-supernatural gleam in his eye; his days as a heavy metal pioneer from England's metal crucible, the Midlands, still conveyed effortlessly like a silver ribbon riding the thermal from a festival campfire. When you buy Robert Plant tickets you are invited to the festival; it's time to turn on again, America, 'cos the original metal guru is alive and kicking! |
Your tickets will arrive before the event. | |

BRETT HOFFMAN: PBR event gives back to veterans
J.W. Hart will celebrate the 10th annual Professional Bull Riders show that bares his name in a very heartwarming and patriotic way.
The 2013 edition is June 8 in the North Texas town of Decatur, where organizers will give away five homes to wounded soldiers.
Hart and the local committee, called WC Challenger, are working with a program called Homes 4 Wounded Heroes, according to the PBR. The program collects foreclosed homes from local banks. A home in turn is purchased by a charity such as WC Challenger for around $20,000 with the provision that it will be donated to a wounded soldier. Each home has an estimated value of around $250,000, Hart said.
"I'm kind of in disbelief that we're doing this," Hart said of awarding five homes. "To be able to give back to people who are giving so much to us is a great thing."
Hart, 38, a former PBR World Finals average winner who is retired from bull riding and has become a popular TV commentator on the PBR broadcasts, also has agreed to award world class rider Pistol Robinson of Burleson $40,000 if Robinson can stay on Bushwacker, the 2011 world champion bull. The match came about after Hart recently challenged cowboys though social media to courageously step up and enter the Decatur show where they would face tougher bulls.
JoJo LeMond is a very versatile roper.
The Andrews cowboy has qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas three times in team roping (2008-10). He also is ranked No. 1 in the 2013 steer roping world title race, and he probably has earned enough prize money this year to qualify for his first National Finals Steer Roping in Guthrie, Okla.
LeMond won the steer roping title at the May 27-June 1 Old Fort Days Rodeo in Fort Smith, Ark. He pocketed $2,630 after placing in a couple of rounds and then finishing first in the average.
After all that, LeMond is ranked first in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association steer roping world standings with regular season earnings of $26,808. Chet Herren of Pawhuska, Okla., is ranked second with $26,099.
On the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association circuit, Texas Tech's women's rodeo team will begin competing in the College National Finals Rodeo this weekend. The Lady Raiders qualified for the June 9-15 CNFR after finishing second in the NIRA Southwest Region 2012-2012 women's team title race. Last year, the Lady Raiders clinched the national title.
Jim Bret Campbell will began serving as the National Cutting Horse Association's executive director on June 10. Campbell has 15 years of experience in management and marketing. His most recent position was Director of Communications and Member Relations for the Texas Cattle Feeders Association in Amarillo. He also has served as the Senior Director of Marketing and Communications at the 285,000-member American Quarter Horse Association.
Trevor Brazile of Decatur won a round of the steer roping in Hugo, Okla., and tied for second in a round of the tie-down roping in Fort Smith, Ark., to push his total season earnings to $51,455 in the June 3 PRCA weekly standings. Brazile is attempting to equal or break Guy Allen's Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association record of 18 gold buckles. His lead in the June 3 standings was more than $9,000 over Landon McClaugherty.

PORT ALLEN, La. (AP) - A shooting outside a West Baton Rouge Parish gas station left one man dead.
West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's spokesman Col. Richie Johnson tells The Advocate 28-year-old Etan K. Irving was shot Saturday outside the Racetrac on La. 1 Highway South in Port Allen.
Johnson says deputies have arrested 23-year-old Carl L. Richardson and booked him with one count of second-degree murder.
Johnson say a dispute started inside the gas station and continued outside where the shooting occurred.
A West Baton Rouge Parish grand jury on Friday indicted Richardson's 22-year-old brother, Marcus Richardson, on a count of second-degree murder in another shooting.
Johnson said whether the two shootings are related is unclear.

I think I am going to have to leave my boat in the water when Irene passes through. Fortunately I am on a floating dock with a vacant slip next to me, and we are pretty far inland on the river (though with more westward fetch than I would like). I plan to move my boat over to take up both slips between the finger piers.
My Catalina 250 has one cleat on each side at the stern (the standard stock locations). Currently I have two loops over each cleat - one for spring line, and the other for stern line. I'd like to double up these lines, but can't fit four loops over each cleat. I have a movable midship cleat on the port genoa track, but I do not want to use it because I do not think it is secure enough.
Do any of you have any creative ideas on how to overcome the limited number of cleats at the stern?

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Chris Narveson returned from the disabled list with a vengeance, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings and adding a two-run single in the Brewers' 8-1 win over the Pirates.
Narveson (9-6) allowed five hits and fanned three, but left the opener of this doubleheader with an injury to the middle finger of his throwing hand.
Ryan Braun belted a two-run homer and Jonathan Lucroy drove in a pair for the Brewers, who have won 23 of their last 26 games.
Jeff Karstens (9-7) was tagged with the loss after allowing two runs on six hits over seven frames.
Ryan Ludwick hit a home run for the Pirates, losers of four of their last five.
Narveson, who returned from the 15-day disabled list to start the opener of this four-game series, helped himself in the fourth.
Yuniesky Betancourt ripped a two-out single to get things started and George Kattaras followed with a ground-rule double to place runners on second and third. Karstens intentionally walked Craig Counsell to load the bases and Narveson delivered, ripping a 1-2 curveball into right to give the Brewers a 2-0 lead.
In the eighth, Milwaukee added insurance with another two-out spurt. Pinch- hitter Corey Hart singled and scored on a Betancourt double. Tony Watson intentionally walked Casey McGehee before Counsell's base hit scored Betancourt. Lucroy's double plated McGehee and Counsell, giving the Brewers a 6-0 cushion.
The Pirates had their chances. They wasted a one-out triple by Josh Harrison in the first and a Jose Tabata leadoff double in the third. Andrew McCutchen flew out following consecutive two-out singles from Tabata and Harrison in the fifth.
In the bottom of the sixth, Narveson was visited by head trainer Roger Caplinger after throwing a 1-0 fastball to Steve Pearce. He left the game and was relieved by Kameron Loe, who allowed a two-out double to Ronny Cedeno before inducing pinch-hitter Garrett Jones into an inning-ending fly out.
Ludwick, who was acquired from the Padres at the trade deadline, ripped one- out homer in the bottom of the eighth.
A half-inning later, Braun followed a Jerry Hairston walk with a home run to right, sealing the final margin.

I have used a small circle of the plastic that the horns are in, or tinfoil, on the servo spline prior to pushing on the servo horn. I noticed this rocking some time ago. Of interest is that even without the doily, the slop disappears when the servo horn screw is tightened. I installed the doily for preventative measures "just in case".

I know, I know.. I've got that disease of over thinking everything . |
Aug 02, 2013, 03:51 PM | |
Thank you for the advise. I will try the foil but I am pretty sure that the shaft does rock a little bit because when I put my thumb on top of the shaft of the elevator servo I can see it move forward and aft.
The aftermarket end bearings are great (I purchased a set of 4 from Bob) but of little use if the 398s are set in the plastic servo frames because if the bearings are glued to the top and bottom skin, the servo has to be inserted sliding sideways. That maneuver is not possible given the servo tabs and servo frame configuration. The only chance is to drop in the servo and then try to install the end bearing shaft. The servo well configuration on a Perfection makes this practically impossible. I want to be clear that I do not have a beef against the 390HV/398HV servos. I have a lot of confidence in them and being able to run them without regulators is a huge plus. I also do not have data on centering ability or energy consumption to compare against the MKS on regulators. I just know that the airplane with the MKS set up has noticeably less slop. Stefano |
Aug 02, 2013, 04:50 PM | |
One of the nice things about the JR is that the mounting lugs are only on the sides so you can easily use a 3rd bearing setup and slide right in/out with ease. Stefano, if your frame has material around the "back" of the servo just dremel it out. There's absolutely no reason to have anything back there.

Austria's wines are today getting the acclaim they deserve. The Grüner Veltliner grape is winning global recognition and wine lovers are beginning to realise the depth and richness of Austrian reds.
While Austria's grapes have the elegance and fragrance associated with Germany's wines, they also have (according to Hugh Johnson) "the fieriness and high flavour of the Danube". And it's this depth of flavour that makes Austria so worthwhile.
There are sweet wines grown around the shallow Neusiedler Sea; spicy Grüner Veltliners from Burgenland, Wachau and Weinviertel; old-vine Blaufränkisch reds from Mittelburgenland, and fruity Sauvignons, Chardonnays and Pinot Gris from the beautiful Südsteiermark region, to name a few.
The warm winds that blow along the Danube from Hungary, provide welcoming heat for Austria's vineyards. Rainfall can be high, but the schist and limestone mountain soils are suitably free-draining.

How We Imagined The Future Of Transportation Would Look In The 1940s
These ads made for the Detroit-based Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation were largely dreamed up by legendary illustrator Arthur Radebaugh during the 1940s. Radebaugh's utopian visions and Bohn's desire to appear as a forward-looking company combine for a slick retrofuturistic view of transportation.
You Don't Really Want To Live In This Shiny Retrofuturistic City
We love the look of retrofuturistic cities — the clean cut skylines, the beautifully-turned metalwork, the occasionally almost gravity defying twists and turns of the architecture. But what would it really be like to live in one of them? Possibly quite nightmarish, it turns out.
We Wish These Retrofuturistic Versions Of American Cities Had Come True
In the first half of the 20th century, artists came up with gorgeous designs for New York City, Columbus, Houston, and other American cities, imagining them as havens of efficient transportation, dense urban living, and space age architecture.
The Zaniest Ideas We've Had For The Books Of The Future
Throughout the 20th-century, we've come up with crazy ideas for reinventing books, ones that make our phone and tablet readers seem almost modest. From books projected onto the ceiling to reading Ferris wheels, here are some of the last century's strangest and most innovative book proposals.
How An Architect Who Has Never Left North Korea Imagines The Future
North Korea's architecture is truly fascinating, influenced by the need to rebuild Pyongyang in the wake of the Korean War and the nation's relative isolation. What happens when an architect who has never been outside North Korea designs futuristic buildings to accommodate tourists visiting their country?
Plastic Homes from the Days When Plastic Was the Future
In the mid-twentieth century, back when colonizing the solar system seemed imminent, people decided to save money by building homes out of plastic. You can see the results here. Some are mind-bogglingly awesome, and some are just mind-boggling.
Twentieth Century Futurism Looks Really Bizarre Now
What kinds of houses will we build in 100 years? Looking at these illustrations and movies about homes of the future, you realize how much the twentieth century vision of tomorrow differs from the twenty-first century one.
The Space Gun Was Conceived 199 Years Ago
In 1815 the British artist Edward Francis Burney (1760-1848) published a book of drawings called Q.Q. Esq.'s Journey to the Moon. In spite of the less-than-serious nature of the illustrated story, Burney put some thought into his launch system.
The Days of Atomic Locomotives in America
In the mid-1950s, Dr. Lyle B. Borst—a physics professor at the University of Utah who had formerly been a reactor designer with the Atomic Energy Commission—and his students in his Physics 280 Nuclear Technology course had a great idea.
No, Tech Adoption Is Not Speeding Up
Yesterday the folks over at Vox published an article arguing that generations should be defined by the technology they use, rather than by age. They included a graph that purported to show how American society is "adopting new technology more quickly than ever before." The graph is garbage. And here's why.
How Soviet Artists Imagined Communist Life in Space
Artists from the Soviet Union didn't just imagine a worker's Utopia on Earth. They also thought that the great communist experiment would eventually reach other worlds, too. Here are some incredible works of art and conceptual design that put the Soviet Union in space.
Do These Powerlaces Match My Hoverboard?
Hadley Freeman over at The Guardian has declared that Back to the Future is this season's big fashion trend. Which makes complete sense, right? It's almost the year 2015—the very year that Marty visits in the BTTF sequel—so bring on those Nike powerlaces and hoverboard-friendly sneakers! Or not.
The Most Retro-Futuristic DMV in America
In 1979, two artists covered a Southern California building with futuristic murals. They painted moon motorcycles, high-tech highways, and spaceships that would look right at home in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. But as delightfully retro-futuristic as the building is on the outside, what happens inside may…
Retrotastic Furniture Made from Amazing Old Suitcases and Trunks
Instead of chucking out all those old trunks and suitcases, these designers have turned them into incredible pieces of furniture. We love these weird comfy chairs, desks and drawers that snap closed, and tables made of trunks that once crossed the country on steam trains.
The Space Age Never Looked Brighter Than It Did in the Mid-1960s
At the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, everything was Space Age. From the designs and architecture to the machines and rides, it seemed to everybody that the future was in outer space. Here are some incredible pictures that capture the way we imagined tomorrow — in space.
Morgan Stanley Thinks Self-Driving Cars Will Bring Utopia by 2026
The term "techno-utopian" is helpful for referring to people who believe technology alone can solve the world's problems. The term is rarely used literally. But if the financial services company Morgan Stanley is to be believed, driverless cars will literally bring about a utopian society in just over a decade.

Well... unfortunately I now have to wait on it. Problem was that he sold the one in stock that morning before I got there. But he ordered me one to come in Thursday for same price as the Shot Show sale was still going on. So, in the mean time I am browsing the internet looking for good deals on ammo and parts.
Found some mags already. And just now doing my research on Ammo and what typical wear parts I should keep on hand. Any advice on that part would be welcome.
Doing a lot of reading over at the AR15 forum. But lots of nonsense to sift through over there if you know what I mean.

This is a story about a road trip, a rat and a candy bar. It's also a story about how I learned what "omnivore" really means.
You don't know me very well yet, but you know my type. When my kids were babies, I ground their organic food in a little mill I carried with me to restaurants. I baked my own 41-grain bread. We didn't peel our carrots because the dirt was good for us. And we certainly didn't eat crap that came from fresh pak cans. Unless we were at my husband's parents' house, where Ding Dongs have their own special shelf in the pantry.
I decided to drive from NYC to Colorado the year my kids were 7 and 10 because we had a new puppy and the airlines wouldn't accept dogs that summer after an unfortunate episode with a Schnauzer. Citing work, my husband, the chief driver, planner and map reader, opted out of this adventure, leaving us to our own skill sets to manage the trip.
"Pack what you need!" I loftily told the kids and my friend Elora, who offered to take my husband's place. For my daughter this meant the comforter and all of the pillows from her bed so that she could make a view-constricting fort in the second row of the mini van. For Henry it meant filling his pockets with a headlamp, Swiss army knife, a roll of quarters and a tube of green hair gel that made him feel stylish. Elora remembered her outdated drivers license. And I packed up a basket with a week's worth of bananas, apples, cheddar cheese and something called health loaf that I think they now serve in prisons.
I also did something very mean. I purposely left behind the little gift bags of Chex mix and M&M's my mother–in-law had lovingly made for the kids. Poison, I thought. None of that in my car!
The trip began beautifully. Huck Finn was on the tape deck because at some point we knew we'd cross the Mississippi, and we were reveling in Huck and Jim's escapades as they enjoyed their own version of a road trip, albeit on a river. We had plenty to eat and our Nalgene water bottles were full of the Croton Resevoir's finest.
It was a good thing I found Huck so darned spunky and refreshing. Somewhere in the middle of New Jersey, when my daughter let out a little shriek, it became apparent that Henry had also brought his pet rat. Templeton, who normally looked like a beady red-eyed white lab rat, had turned a sickly green color due to the application of several coats of the green hair gel. By Pennsylvania, around the time Henry snipped his initials into the dog's fur with his Swiss Army knife scissors, it was also apparent that we had eaten all of our precious survival rations. "Where were the Chex?" the kids wanted to know.
And thus began my penance as a chastened daughter-in-law and my conversion from a didactic culinary idealist to a Pringles addict, the gateway drug to all things ersatz. If I'd known about Michael and Jane Stern's Road Food book, we might have been saved. But I was at the mercy of that powerful cartel of fast food franchises and minimarts that pretty much guaranteed my damnation once I turned on the ignition.
It started slowly. We'd nibble a few Pringles while on the hunt for any place that had piece of fresh fruit. But pretty soon I was jonesing something bad for a little more salt, a little more slick crunch. By the time we reached Colorado, we had all been knocked off of whatever pedestal I had been trying to keep us balanced upon, save Elora who against all odds kept her Vegetarian virginity fully intact. We tasted not only Slurpees and Big Gulps, Big Macs and Chick'n Crisps, but and Frosty's and Blizards , Cheetos and Cheezits.
Even the rat made his conversion from rat kibble to road food. Somewhere in Kentucky (did I mention that we took the scenic route?) Templeton left his box in the back seat and wandered up front. In the dark when the radio announcer and I were the only people awake, he snuck my half-eaten Snickers bar with him into a hole near the foot pedals. When he emerged three days later, visibly fatter, I swear I could see a furry little smile.
I'm sure we ate some proper meals during this time too. I remember an olde tavern near Monticello with shepherd's pie that tasted heavenly. And a smokin' hot BBQ spot in West Virginia we found when Elora let the car run out of gas. But mostly I remember the junk we ate.
We've returned to tofu and home baked kale chips and grass fed beef and artisanal cheeses, but a part of me still feels an irresistible fondness for that can of reprocessed, oversalted potato-ish goodness that is the Pringle. And every now and then I eat a Snickers bar, remembering a happy rat and the lessons I learned about the fun that can be had by breaking the rules we set for ourselves.
This is a Kitchen Challenge and you will be looking for a recipe. Here it is:
1 Car
2 Adults
2 Kids
1 Puppy
1 Rat
Random "essentials"
•Don't pack anything more than your first meal.
•Remember your map, but not the page for New Jersey that you had to use to clean the window with.
•Forget that you know what fresh vegetables taste like.
•If you see great roadside BBQ, stop the car immediately. It will be your best meal of the trip.
• Laugh when your kids remind you that "try it, you'll like it" applies to Lunchables.
•Make sure your candy is within reach of your rat.
•Visit a car wash when you return so that one the 5 guys scrubbing your car asks if he can take a picture of your car to show his wife how hard his job is.
•Back home, where your fridge is full of produce from the green market and three kinds of olive oil sit on the pantry shelf, admit to yourself that what you really feel like at that moment is a cute little can of Bacon Ranch Pringles.
•Write your mother in law a thank you note for being sweet enough to remember that kids get hungry on trips.
Here is Twilia Sue's recipe for Chex n' Cheerio mix, the snack she made the kids for our flight the next year to Colorado.
3 cups Corn Chex cereal
3 cups Cheerios
1 can mixed nuts
1 cup bite sized pretzels
1 cup raisins
1 cup M&M's
½ stick butter or margarine
Salt to taste
In a microwaveable bowl, mix cereals, nuts and pretzels.
Melt butter in a smaller bowl by microwaving on High for 40 seconds.
Pour over mixture in bowl and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring every so often.
Spread to cool on paper towels.
Mix in raisins and M&M's.
Salt if you want to.
Bag up in little snack baggies.

So what dramatic event had so many tuning in? A major character was killed off. While the death itself isn't
unusual in TV drama, the fact that it happened early in the season is
extraordinary. Sutter didn't wait until the finale to blow fans away.
Major spoilers lie ahead for those who haven't seen the episode "Laying Pipe."
Episode recap
The death in the SAMCRO family is a choice of with no good options. Drug kingpin Damon Pope demands half of SAMCRO's monthly drug money. In return, Pope's cronies ease up on the Sons. But the money must be paid in blood, as well; Pope is still vengeful because his daughter was offed by Tig in Season 4. Pope insists that one of the brothers in prison must die -- the choice is between Jax, Tig, Opie, and Chibs.
As the men grapple with who must die, Jax and Opie have a heart-to-heart moment in solitary. Jax reveals all the truths he's been hiding, including the reason why he couldn't allow Opie to end Clay's life. It was more important for Jax to save the club, which leaves Opie dismayed. The brothers are then rounded up, and Jax is prepared to give himself up for the team as leader. Opie intercedes and says "no," headbutts the Sergeant and is carried off. Opie is then beat to death by a prison gang.
Reaction and review
Motorcycle gangs are, obviously, not about sunshine and rainbows. Part of the series' draw, much like others on cable involving vampires and serial killers, is that any character can die at any time. Opie's death is heart-wrenching on many levels. His father and wife died for SAMCRO. Opie's two children are now fatherless.
A scene from the previous episode shows Opie getting his affairs in order with Lyla and the kids. It's as if Sutter foreshadowed the tragic end. Opie's life was never easy in SAMCRO -- watching his wife die at the end of Season 1, killing agent Stahl in Season 3, and then trying to kill Clay in Season 4. Opie's life seems to have been cursed from day one. His death may have been unnecessary, but at least he died honorably. In the unspoken code of how the club is bigger than any single member, Opie lived out that oath to the bloody end.
Other "Sons of Anarchy" deaths
Opie's death is probably the most painful for fans of the series so far, but it's certainly not the first. Half-Sack died for his brothers. Clay has come close to dying on several occasions. Piney's end was senseless, as he was in a drunken stupor. When the club goes to the hospital to inject cyanide in one of its victims, it's a way of explaining who really runs things in Charming, and that's not law enforcement. Tig's daughter's death had already set the tone for Season 5.
Fan reactions
Sutter warned fans this was coming. Entertainment Weekly revealed another death would happen early in the season. Tig watching his daughter burned to death at the hands of another gang was bad enough, but the body count may elevate if things continue at this frenetic pace.
Reactions on Twitter, retweeted by Sutter, varied. Fan Geoff Brouillette said, "I'm done watching Sons of Anarchy. I mean, how does Opie flat iron his hair in prison? Stupiddddddd." Twitter user Big Red exclaimed, "I don't think any show or movie has ever hit me like last nights episode, I couldn't say a word for the rest of the show." Sutter himself summed up the episode in nine words. "And as in life, sometimes the good ones die."
How this changes things
Opie was one of the most beloved characters on the show. Fans were rooting for him to just have the normal life that he so badly wanted. Like doing without an addictive drug, though, living without his true family would have been grueling for Opie. Repercussions are inevitable; there is no way the Sons will not avenge a death in the family. Going against a bigger gang has been done before (Jax against the True IRA), and SAMCRO may have to do it again.
Looking ahead
Thanks to the deal Jax pulled to get Tig out of prison, the next death may well rest in the hands of how this new development plays out. The next episode, entitled "Stolen Huffy," features lots of angsty goodness. Gemma confronts Clay in his weakened state, and the club tries to find a way to go after Pope even though he owns Oakland.
Somehow, Pope needs to die this season. Killing off a gang's leader is always epic, and it could lead to the eradication of the Sons for good. If the first four seasons are any indication, dying for one's friends may be how "Sons of Anarchy" ends up in the spring.

Gun Bans Create Problems
You think removing guns from Law abiding citizens will create an utopia. Crime will disappear & life will be good. The real world it doesn't work that way. Once guns are removed from law abiding, crime accelerates up. Gun Bans only effect the Law abiding not criminals. After guns were banned in Australia, Armed Robberies were up 69%, Assaults with Guns were up 28%, Murders with Guns were up 19%, & Home Invasions were up 21%. Similar figures were reflected in England's crime. History proves once the Government has a Monopoly on guns, it is bad for the people. Our countries debt including Social Security is 140 Trillion. The people will be defenseless to stop the Government from taxing us out of existence. Dianne Feinstein's Bill bans any gun with a magazine that can be picked up. The History of gun bans, some 56 million people have been killed by their own Governments after confiscation of guns.. If you say it couldn't happen here, Homeland Security has bought over 2 billion bullets for domestic use. Our President has a Death List & has been killing people with Drones in 6 countries with a lot of collateral damage of women & children. With the NDAA, Americans can be disappeared or killed without the proof of wrong doing. So the Gun Ban is not about saving children. The 2nd Amendment in the Bill Of Rights was bestowed (to not be infringed) from our Creator. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely!

5:30am Dawn Surf Patrol. Captree State Park, Long Island.
My special Incubus spot is at any beach or surfbreak. Navigating through broken shells in the parking lot, taking first step from the paving into the cold morning sand, to climb the dune to get a first glimpse of the surf. The first rush of water surrounding you as you paddle out into the line up... the excitement of the first drop onto the face of a wave... the rush of the ride and the calm after as you paddle back out to the lineup. All these experiences make you feel so connected to the world and alive. These are the same feelings I get when I listen to Incubus. Any beach, anywhere, Incubus all the time.
I do wish you ALL were here.... and always live life 'paddling with intention'.
Hey Lisa,
Just read what you wrote for the contest- it blew me away! Beautiful! As you can see, I joined this site.
This is amazing. Everything about it.
Great minds think alike. I had the same idea...well somewhat of the same idea. Good Luck Lisa!!

Ubisoft announced yesterday that it will acquire the Driver franchise from Atari. The deal includes rights to the Driver franchise as well as most of the assets and all personnel from Reflections Interactive Limited, developer of the series. The acquisition will cost Ubisoft 19 million Euro ($24 million) and is expected to close in Ubisoft's second quarter this year. Yves Guillemot, Ceo of Ubisoft, said of the deal:
"We are thrilled with this acquisition which will allow us to add a prestigious title to our catalog and to enter into the driving games segment, one of the most important segments in the gaming industry. With more than 14 million units sold throughout the world, Driver is one of the most successful brands in the history of video games. We look forward to leveraging the unique knowledge of the Ubisoft studios to ensure that Driver will be one of the leading brands of the next generation of consoles."
Ubisoft getting their hands on Driver is big news. Hopefully the house of great titles like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and the upcoming Assassin's Creed can breathe some new life into the ailing franchise. Exciting, non?

Firefighter Union Official Questions The Role 'Brown-Outs' Played In Olney Fatal Fire - CBS Philly I am all for fiscal restraint, but I worry about where the cuts will be made...things like this might become common. The problem appears that they are cutting muscle and bone instead of fat. This indirectly ties in with the union fight that is going on now: if the union benefits and retirement could have been restructured, would these stations still need to be closed?
Definite downside. Thanks for starting this in a new thread, BFive. I've got some things to say (of course) but it'll have to wait a bit as I've got some stuff to do first. I did want to say that the same thing probably won't happen in Connecticut. Connecticut governor wants to raise taxes by $1.5 billion - Feb. 16, 2011 And yes, as having been a member of a fire department for years, I'm sure that the distance involved in travel time may very well have contributed to the deaths. There are few things where time really is of utmost essence - fire is one of them.

Severe storms hit Baton Rouge
Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - 6:15pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — Many folks were rattled out of bed this morning at about 4:30 as severe storms rolled through the area.
That system did cause some minor damage here in the Capitol City.
A section of Government Street near Jefferson was shut down for a good while this morning due to a fallen tree.
The tree toppled over, taking a power line with it.
Entergy says 425 people are still without power tonight in Baton Rouge.

I hate to temper the economist's optimism in those matters, but a probe sent to Alpha Centauri using existing technology would take about as long as the pyramids in Egypt have been around.
Even that would require a serious engineering efforts including the development of space-worthy nuclear reactors capable of running for several centuries, electronics that won't degrade during that time along with plasma engines or ion thrusters running for a similar amount of time and adequate instrumentation. The missions would be 100 times longer than anything done so far. The space probe would probably be an affair as big as the ISS, if not larger (and more expensive), to achieve the required speeds in excess of 0.1% of the speed of light.
Reaching such luxurious speeds as 1% lightspeed is out of the question for decades to come, even ignoring the engineering efforts. Had Christopher Columbus set out such a space probe, it would just about be there.
But reaching significantly beyond that would require more than mere nuclear reactors and quite possibly an understanding of physics that we neither have or could imagine having.
But that should not deter anyone from thinking about such projects. The Egyptians left behind 200 pyramids on earth that make people wonder to this day. Why shouldn't we leave behind some beacons among the stars?
Theoretical models suggest a great many (perhaps the vast majority) of planets formed early on in the accretion disc are thrown out of their solar systems by gravitational effects. Although these ejected planets would travel relatively slowly, it's feasible to imagine that a planet "born" around a neighboring sun that was sufficiently close by (and in the same relative plane) could be captured by a companion sun. So perhaps the odd planet that apparently exists in this quadrenary system originated around one of the other Alpha suns and was then captured as it journeyed through interstellar space? Unfortunately I lack the mathematical skills and simulation software necessary to try out this idea and see whether or not the gross variables are within range to make it even vaguely feasible as an explanation.
They would be very complex orbits. Vilikovski (I think that's the right spelling) was the first to explore this issue, although his focus was to point out that our own solar system -- and specifically, our world -- has a history of orbital perturbations that have greatly affected the course of life on this planet. I do not know whether his views thereon have been debunked, but even if they have they still provide food for thought relating to binary stars' planets' orbits..
Any planet orbiting a star that is part of a double-star or multiple-star solar system would likely have significant variations in its distance from its star, due to the gravitational pull of the other star(s). That variation would translate into significant variations in the planet's receipt of solar radiation. During its complex orbit, the planet almost certainly would sometimes be very hot and sometimes very cold -- not a likely candidate for the development and evolution of complex life forms.
A binary of binary stars needs a cooler name. Also what would the orbit of planets arround these binaries look like?
I think your point is that Velikovsky has been debunked, and I think that is correct. But his speculations about complex orbital "dances" still intrigue me with reference to binary stars' planets' orbits. Our own solar system is much simpler, and I agree that it is highly unlikely that Velikovsky's speculations thereon have merit.
Doesn't acceleration using Sun's gravitational force only works if the destination is closer to the Sun? I don't understand how it can help if the destination is outside of Solar system. In fact, I believe extra energy has to be used to escape Sun's gravitational field.
Look up the Wikipedia entry for Immanuel Velikovsky and judge for yourself whether his hypotheses have been debunked or not.
Do not forget that scientists can use gravitational force of the Sun for accelerating. Such method could give speed as much as 30% of the light speed.
How far would Christopher Columbus have got if he'd sailed his boat and when would he be expected to arrive?
If the top speed of our vehicles keeps trending as it has since Christopher Columbus sailed the Santa María, how long will it be before I can expect to get there by the end of next week?

Pros:Great Quality with a low price.
The size of the cable (2m) is very good because sometimes the cellphone can't stay close to the TV.
It's made with a good material and the quality seems like a product much more expensive.
I couldn't find anyone. Perhaps the cable could be personalized with the colors of the smartphone, rsrs, but it's not important.

Howard Shoup and Richard King
Howard Shoup, left, and Richard King sitting in chair. Photo taken in Clarion County in 1918 according to writing on back.
Howard Shoup was born 6 April 1902 in St. Petersburg, Clarion County, PA, to Charlie Shoup and Elizabeth Stubble Shoup. He lived there until the early 1920's then went into the army and served in the Hawaiian Islands for 3 years.
He began writing Leona Fulkerson in Texas during this time and married her in 1925. He remained in Texas for the rest of his life but always missed his childhood home.
When I was a child, I went with her grandfather to his childhood home to meet my great grandparents, Charlie Shoup and Lynn Stubble. Lynn Stubble lived to be over 100 years old. Other lines in the Shoup family are Stubble, Frye, Hulings, Best and Coursin.

Chef Pino Luongo's Italy Picks
New York City chef Pino Luongo kicked off "the era of the emperor chef" (New York Post), as you can read in his new book Dirty Dishes. When traveling around his native Italy, though, Luongo doesn't go for the chichi spots. He prefers an unobstructed view, a nice walk, and some local flavors. Below, his picks that might inspire you, too, to take it down a notch:
* The Hotel Augustus in Forte dei Marmi near Lucca in Tuscany is my favorite place for a truly Italian style summer family vacation--beach bicycling and lunch under the pine trees plus great shopping after dinner (the stores are open late into the night).
* Monte Amiata and the little town of Arcidosso: For snow lovers, it's a simple, rustic spot with great food. And Montalcino, the capital of the Brunello wines, is only an hour away.
* Parco dell'Uccellina, located in the national park of Maremma, goes from the sea to the hills of south Tuscany. It's the land of the butteri (Tuscan cowboys), famous among the locals for their summer rodeos.
* Isola di Lampedusa is an island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, south of Sicily. The most primitive rock in the middle of the sea.
* Palau, Sardinia, is a fantastic fishermen's village in the north part of Sardinia, facing the Stretto di Bonifacio. This humble village 40 kilometers north of Costa Smeralda is inexpensive compared to Porto Cervo--this is where the "real people" live. Restaurants serve mostly seafood dishes indigenous to the area, and the local wine is a real treat. From this village you can rent small day boats and go around the archipelago--tiny, beautiful islands dispersed all around the sea between Sardinia and Corsica.
Further reading:
* Not Your Grandfather's Sicily: Away from the island's familiar sweet spots, a new generation of Sicilians is reshaping its wine, food, and hotels
* Mark Schatzker kayaks around the Amalfi coast
* Catch of the Day: International noshables

Motor And Transmission Mount Stop
We have 14 Items for Motor And Transmission Mount Stop In-stock.Your vehicle engine and transmission are pretty durable assemblies, but there are certain circumstances that can cause their failure. The presence of excessive vibrations is one. Vibrations are byproducts of the engine's operation. The more power produced, the more vibrations are generated. It is for this reason that your car is equipped with a motor and transmission mount stop. This stop works hand in hand with the engine and transmission mount in limiting the movement of the transmission and the motor. Although a certain amount of movement is normal, too much movement can cause damage on the parts involved. that's why limit is necessary. The motor and transmission mount stop is designed to help the mount in providing the said limit. You will find the said stop in different forms and types. Some stops are crafted for mounting at the front, others at the rear. You'll find stops for the driver side of the vehicle, and stops for the passenger side. Although these are but small materials, they can spell the difference in the condition of the engine and transmission. Need a high-quality stop that won't hurt your budget? That's achievable with our help here at Auto Parts Warehouse! We have a complete selection that will help you find the best motor and transmission mount stop for your ride.

Barrel sample. Big, ripe, juicy wine, the tannins very solid and dark. It has layers of new wood, power and considerable density. (8/ 2010)
One of the finest, if not the very best Camensac I have ever tasted, this wine possesses loads of black currants, black cherries, cedar wood and spice box as well as a bit of earth and underbrush. It is medium to full-bodied, very generously endowed and quite long. Anticipated maturity: now-2025. (2/ 2012)
(a 55/45 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot): Good dark red. Plum, redcurrant, mocha and tobacco on the nose, plus hints of dusty herbs and pepper. Sweet and smooth, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the round mid-palate. Finishes with solid tannins and firm flavors of currant and licorice. Accessible now but has the life for 12 to 15 years of evolution. (7/ 2012)
Nicely polished, featuring dark plum and currant flavors laced with cocoa powder and roasted vanilla bean notes, which extend through the finish. Drink now through 2013. (Web -2012)
*V Good sweetness on the palate. Red fruits. Bright. Well-balanced tannins. Quite elegant for this property. Note: Futures item. Wine will arrive late 2011 to 2013. You will be contacted for delivery instructions.

Pre-Mixed Drinks - 2015
Pre-Mixed Drinks Challenge
Nose: Intense and exhilarating notes of raspberry in all sorts of variations - fresh fruit, jammy compote and subtly funky raspberry brandy. A hint of shrub gives it balance.
Palate: Light, elegant and bitter-sweet from the outset, with the rhubarb liqueur and the oodles of raspberry sweetness playing off each other fantastically.
Finish: A bright, refreshing finish, like the first ray of sun after an April shower.
Overall: Enjoy chilled or make yourself a delicious and refreshing spritz, as suggested above.

Last week I found a Golding vine (The last of a crop from the 1800's) I got some clippings and some rhizomes. I planted the two rhizomes and stuck the two clippings in a cup of water. The rhizomes already have some new bines coming out above some leaves below where the bine is cut so I'm assuming its established some roots (?) also the clippings in the water have sprouted what looks like new little bines (Im assuming those are the roots seeing how its under water) just above where the leaves were at the very bottom. How long should I wait for the roots on the clippings to get before I plant them? Do you think I'll get any hops this year or do the plants need to adapt for next year? Either way Im gonna have a big load of Goldings at some point.
its a bit late in the season and your in canada. My guess is next year get ready for alot of hops. Very nice find- i must say im jelous
What does a 120 year old hop crown look like?
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
when I got the clippings and rhizomes there werent any cones but when I go back I'll bring my camera and take some pics for ya
Very interesting... you can acutally "root" new hop plants from cuttings?

I think this may be down to absolutely rubbish quality control at the factory. As we say in UK:- "If you pay them peanuts you get monkeys." As we all know monkeys are not the easiest to train to make high quality goods.
I actually used a Kiev 4a fitted with the standard 50mm F2 lens (Zeiss Sonnar copy I believe) and the resolution on that was incredible, but the actual camera was quite frankly unreliable, to the point of being almost unusable

My Prayer for 2008
Sojomail - December 20, 2007
I believe society must first determine if its endorsement of violence begets violence, and if violence undermines our commitment to the sanctity of life. To these questions, I answer, "Yes." - Governor Jon S. Corzine, announcing the abolition of the death penalty in New Jersey. Corzine also stated, "Other good people will describe today's actions in quite different terms — in terms of injustice — particularly those who carry heavy hearts, broken hearts from their tragic losses. This bill does not forgive or in any way condone the unfathomable acts carried out by the eight men now on New Jersey's death row. They will spend the rest of their lives in jail."

My Prayer for 2008
If Robert Kennedy had lived to become president on the inside (as he surely would have) and Martin Luther King Jr. had lived to lead a movement from the outside, the U.S. and the world might be very different today. But the most hopeful political leader of his time and the most important movement leader of the century were both struck down, and 1968 was the turning point when everything began to go wrong in America. I remember my feelings at the time vividly. King had been the leader of the movements that had captured my imagination and commitment as a young activist; and Kennedy was the only politician who won my political trust. I was getting ready to take a break from college to work on his presidential campaign when he was killed. Ever since 1968, the door has been closed to real social change in the U.S. Since 1968, we have been wandering in the wilderness. The coming New Year - 2008 - marks 40 years of that wandering, a passage of time I have been pondering as we enter into it. I taught my last class for the fall semester at Harvard this week. The title of the course was "Faith and Politics: Should They Mix and How?" In the midst of a final class discussion of the central role faith is playing in this election season, a student abruptly asked me a personal question: "How many times have you been arrested?" I thought for a moment and replied, "Twenty two times." I told them that's what happens when social movements confront closed political doors. I said I was willing to do civil disobedience again, if it was called for, but that I was now hoping there might be a significant paradigm shift about to occur. I explained how social change seems to most readily occur when social movements push against open doors. Real social progress seems to require that combination - strong social movements and open political doors. I believe we may be approaching just such a time. I have written before that we now have open political doors to the fundamental issues of social justice both in London, with the election of Gordon Brown, and in Australia, with the recent election of Kevin Rudd. Both understand the power of social movements and seem to be inviting them to push against the reluctance of political power to make real changes. In the U.S.'s election season this time, the operative word is now "change." The Democratic frontrunners are now mostly debating how real change can best occur, not whether it should. And the Republicans are distancing themselves from their own president, who has led the nation to a place that both alienates and embarrasses most U.S. citizens of both parties. The wrong direction didn't begin with George W. Bush - but he has certainly demonstrated how absolutely wrong the direction of the U.S. now is. The people of the U.S. are very unhappy with the direction our nation has taken, and the polling about that is consistent. There will definitely be a snap back after the extreme and disastrous policies of the Bush administration. The Democrats hope the snap back will result in their victory; the Republicans hope they can still retain power by offering a change in direction themselves. But we must hope and work for a snap back that goes much further than either a Democratic or Republican victory. Indeed, whoever your favorite candidate is, he or she will not be able to really change the biggest and most significant issues at stake in the U.S. and the world without a social movement that pushes them to make those changes. Remember that Lyndon Johnson did not become a civil rights leader until Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks made him one. It was a social movement pressing on an open door. That will be the vision and strategy of Sojourners in this crucial year of 2008 and beyond. We are in the business of building movements, not winning elections. This election is vitally important, and we will be working hard to put the most important issues on the agenda. But we are already looking past the election to the kind of organizing and movement building that will have to be done. And the good news is that we see that movement already growing, more that I ever have since the fateful year of 1968. Everywhere I go, something is happening. My new book, out on Jan. 22, profiles an emerging spiritual movement with a social agenda. It's called The Great Awakening: Reviving Faith and Politics in a Post-Religious Right America. The book charts how "great awakenings" in the past have featured a "revival" of faith that also changes society. It describes how we may well be on the verge of another such movement to make dramatic change on issues like poverty, pandemic diseases, climate change, human rights, and war and peace. During my work on the book this year, the writing, praying, and vocational discernment got all nicely tangled up together. The "book tour," which will take us to many cities in early 2008, may feel more like a series of mini-revivals, and, this spring, we will begin a series of "justice revivals" that will last for many days in cities around the country over the next few years. The dramatic changes occurring in many of our faith communities and constituencies, the energy and commitment of a new generation, and the openness of politics for change may indicate the beginning of a new and more hopeful period in the life of this country and the world. It may even be that after 40 years, we might finally be ready to come out of the wilderness. That is my hope and prayer as we enter the New Year of 2008. But it is a hope and prayer that will require, from all of us, the work of faith. + Comment on this article on the God's Politics Blog NOTICE: SojoMail will be taking next week off, so your next issue will appear on Jan. 3, 2008.

+ See what's new on the blog of Jim Wallis and friends Acts of Advent (by Rose Marie Berger) During Advent, as I kindle the wreath candles that mark the journey to the Bethlehem stable, I return to particular writers that I love and certain music that I can't seem to get through the seasons without. I have Advent habits.
There's no denying it. Immigration has become, and will continue to be, a hot-button issue in the presidential season. The question that remains is – what kind of conversation will we have around immigration? We're not off to such a good start. Thus far, the debate has looked more like a shouting match, defined by scapegoating and xenophobia. One clear result has been a feeling among Hispanics across the country, not just undocumented immigrants, that their lives are more difficult as a result of the failure of immigration reform and the increasing attention to the issue. Being Poor is a Lot of Work (by Bart Campolo) Until very recently, I had no idea how hard it is for some of our friends just to find somewhere to lay themselves down to sleep at night. I knew that inner-city families moved around a lot, but I didn't realize how much heartache and humiliation goes before and after most of those moves, both for the families and for the neighborhoods they come and go from in search of better space. Wise Men Denied Security Permit to See Baby Jesus (by Deanna Murshed) So I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the latest progressive addition to the classic nativity scene: the separation wall. Either way, I love it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out Christian Peacemaker Teams' "No Way to the Inn" campaign. Or, to purchase your own little shocker, check out the UK-based charity, Amos Trust, online where you can purchase "A nativity set with a difference ... poignant, ironic, and made in Bethlehem. Available in two sizes." Mother Teresa's Advent Light (by Becky Garrison) When I picked up Come by My Light, I discovered a stark honesty that caught me off guard. Mother Teresa was not the woman the world thought we knew. As Shane Claiborne noted when I interviewed him for The Wittenburg Door, whenever people ask him about his trip to Calcutta, "they say, 'Oh, you met Mother Teresa,' like she glows in the dark or something." A Rock Star Environment Minister (by Ryan Rodrick Beiler) Jim wrote a piece a few weeks back about the new Bonhoeffer-quoting Aussie PM Kevin Rudd. Well, another fun fact is that he has appointed Peter Garrett, the rock star turned environmental activist turned Member of Parliament, his new Minister for Environment. That's the Aussie version of putting Bono in charge of the foreign aid budget. Sort of. Smart, Green Community Development (by Mary Nelson) Bethel New Life, a faith-based community development corporation on Chicago's west side, built a "smart, green building" at a major transit stop in the community, cutting energy usage in half with a green roof, solar panels, super insulation, etc. Bethel recently received the GOLD LEED rating for environmental excellence, a first in a low-income community. The building, connected to the transit platform, houses a day care center, employment services, a community-focused bank, and community owned businesses - a coffee shop and sandwich shop, among others. This development had been a long and tortuous effort - in assembling the funds, acquiring building permits, and finding contractors who could do things differently. It is a great example of intentional development that creates multiplying impact on community and environment. A Genocide of Convenience (by Elizabeth Palmberg) As I do more reading about Darfur, I've had to re-examine some of my assumptions about genocide. I'd tended to think about genocides on the model of the Holocaust, which involved a massive logistical undertaking by a ruthlessly evil state whose armies were strong enough to conquer multiple other nations.
