If thereŌĆÖs one thing that gets the goat of Crowley Lakers, itŌĆÖs when a bear gets their goat.
About a dozen people showed up at WednesdayŌĆÖs meeting of the Long Valley Regional Planning Advisory Committee to hear Steve SearlesŌĆÖ take on a bear assault on a pygmy goat on July 31.
For Crowley Lake residents, who usually donŌĆÖt have to deal with bears, the mauling of the goat was a strange and gruesome event, and Searles acknowledged that the bear had ŌĆ£crossed the line.ŌĆØ
He said if he had been there, and if he had jurisdictional authority (he doesnŌĆÖt), ŌĆ£IŌĆÖd have shot the bear.ŌĆØ
Maybe Dave McCoy didn't know what he was getting into when he signed up for a Facebook account. Within days, Dave had 550 friends, forcing him and his assistant, Brandon Russell, to do some serious gardening to his account. ...
The Mammoth Mountain Ski Back Trail, at best a highly modified success last ski season and at worst a flub, is getting a makeover.
On the trail itself, workers under the direction of Operations Director Clifford Mann have been grading, erecting retaining walls and fixing the areas that made the trail nearly impossible for snowboarders and a problem for many skiers.
Having largely completed the work in the forest, Mann and his crew now are busy on the finishing touch ŌĆō the long awaited pedestrian bridge across Forest Trail.
A proposal Wednesday to amend the troubled Eastern Sierra Unified School DistrictŌĆÖs superintendentŌĆÖs employment contract met with resistance from two board members, but passed on a 3-2 vote.
The amendment was created to settle a ŌĆ£disputeŌĆØ that arose when at least one member of the school board, Doug Northington, said he was concerned about how Superintendent Don ClarkŌĆÖs vacation days were being paid out to Clark.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area on Wednesday announced winter air schedules and fares, including the new flight to and from San Francisco International.
The flights, to and from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose and Portland, begin Dec. 16, according to a news release Tuesday from Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
United Airlines will offer nonstop service from San Francisco International to Mammoth Yosemite Airport. Flights will be operated by United Express carrier SkyWest Airlines, using 66-seat CRJ700 regional jets. Flights start at $188 round-trip.
MammothŌĆÖs merchants, hoteliers and restaurateurs may have varying opinions on the success of their summers, but the town government is calling Summer 2010 a winner. Judging by the latest Transient Occupancy Tax figures, July 2010 was the biggest July in town history, according to Brad Koehn, the townŌĆÖs finance director.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs the best July weŌĆÖve ever had in terms of TOT collections, and this only reflects the monthly remittances,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£There are other condo owners who remit quarterly, so this will continue to grow.ŌĆØ
Mammoth plays at Bishop tonight in football. ThatŌĆÖs about as big as it gets around here. WeŌĆÖre fired up.
The Mammoth/Bishop rivalry has been going on for more than 50 years. Bea Beyer tells us that when she moved from the Bishop schools to Mammoth, she and some students would sleep in the gym to protect their turf from the vandalism that had been going on for years.
There have been effigies hung from freeway overpasses, Clorox poured on a field, toilet papering, etc. ItŌĆÖs been your basic cross-town rivalry, up and down U.S. 395 and we think itŌĆÖs actually pretty great.
Animal Control Officer would be beneficial
We were extremely disappointed to learn that we do not have an Animal Control Officer in Mammoth Lakes due to budget cuts. It was suggested that we call the Police Department if there is a problem as if this department does not have enough on their plates.
Kenna Tidwell was born in Mammoth Lakes, grew up in Sacramento then returned to Mammoth in recent years to work at Union Bank, Mammoth Pet Products and Mammoth Business Essentials. She is survived by her father Ken Tidwell and her mother, Bambi and two brothers, Kameron and Kenton of Sacramento, along with grandparents, Don and Pam Rake of June Lake.
A celebration of life for Kenna will be held at the home of Don and Pam Rake, 70 Los Angeles Street, June Lake, Sunday, Oct. 3, 2010 at 1 p.m. Friends are welcome.
Clyde Hiatt, a Bishop and Mammoth Lakes resident, went to be with the Lord on Monday, September 27, 2010. He passed away peacefully in a house he built in Cayucos, California, surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife Catherine, sons Michael and Jake Hiatt, daughter in-law Erin and three grandchildren, sisters Mickey Freeman and Rabia Hammel and brother Lew Hiatt.
Real Joseph Armand Balthazar, 78, passed away on Aug. 20, 2010 while hiking near Horsehoe Lake. Passionate about skiing, climbing, hiking, biking, and nature, he discovered Mammoth Lakes in 1966 and became a devoted resident for the next 54 years.
Born in St. Albans, Vt. January 27, 1932, near the French Canadian border, Real, his two sisters and brother were raised by his mother, in the midst of the depression, after his fatherŌĆÖs sudden death in 1937.

Three games into the season and with their conference season looming, the Mammoth Huskies (2-1) have given themselves an infusion of athletic talent.
In a move that is unparalleled in Head Coach Tom GaultŌĆÖs long tenure at the helm, six players walked on two weeks ago, asking for spots on the team.
All of them are from the Mammoth Mountain Ski Team, and some could see game action tonight when the Huskies visit their longtime rivals, the Bishop Broncos (3-0).
The Mammoth Huskies travel to Bishop tonight, and thatŌĆÖs almost enough to put a glaze over Head Coach Tom GaultŌĆÖs eyes.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not sure what to expect,ŌĆØ Gault said earlier this week, ŌĆ£but IŌĆÖll tell you that somebody asked me the other day, ŌĆśYou look back on the Bishop-Mammoth rivalry, what are the some of the high points you can mention?ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£And I told him, ŌĆśWell, weŌĆÖve beaten them (the Broncos) three or four times in 30 years, so those are the high points.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
WeŌĆÖve known quite a few ski bums in our time around here. If you think about it, Dave McCoy himself would probably been called a ski bum, had the term or the lifestyle existed at the time. Maybe Dave was the original ski bum, for all we know.
Those were heady times for us back then, when the ski towns were being built and the ski bum subculture emerged. Look around town and theyŌĆÖre everywhere still, each finding just enough work to free them to lay down some serious skiing and snowboarding in the winter.

From the book, GLOBAL SENSE, by Judah Freed (an update of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense."). Term is used when an idea or action makes common sense from a global perspective. If everyone on earth thought or said or did that thing, the outcome would be good for the world.
Buying a hybrid car makes global sense. Eating food filled with preservatives does not make global sense. Mindful self rule makes global sense. Giving in to our authority addiction does not make global sense. Nonviolent social protest makes global sense. Violence and war does not make global sense. Promoting genuine democracy through self-restraint makes global sense. Imposing so-called "democracy" by force does not make global sense.

Over the past TWO YEARS I have entered and reentered my email address to be notified when this item was available....Each time I called over the past two years to check the status of when the product was last in stock I was told "oh, it was just in stock this past month". I then said, "If that's the case why was I not notified by the email that I entered?" Obviously there is something amiss here.

I am going to look for cheap flights to Manila tonight. I've heard that Philippines has a lot of great places to experience zip lines and other mountain adventures. I look forward to visiting the Philippines next month.

If I could fly, life would be amazing. But paraplegic people say the same thing about walking, and I freaking hate walking. Somebody might ask me, "Hey, do you want to go for a walk?" and I'll reply, "Nope. But I do want to have a seat on a chair with wheels and roll along with you." So maybe flight isn't so cool after all. Possibly birds get pissed off they have to fly everywhere. Cheap Flights to Freetown
I have always wanted to zip line. My sister zip lined through the forests of Costa Rica, and said it was one of the most breathtaking things she'd ever done. To zip line through so many majestic redwoods would be a truly exciting adventure. Thank you for the great information, this would be great family activity.My name is Marc, and aside from thrill seeking in the redwoods, I also work with Bescover. You may not recognize the name, but we're brought to you by the Lanier Family!If you would like to connect via Facebook and leave a comment about your Inn for our travelers, don't hesitate to do so, you can find us at: Facebook/Bescover

Buying Guide
Digital cameras have come along way over the years, from something that was very expensive and considered a luxury to the point today that they are so affordable that pretty much everyone has one. They can be found in numerous shapes and sizes, and even integrated into our portable devices. It has come to the point where almost everyone has some sort of digital camera on their person at all times. With the popularity of online image sites and video sites, everyone is taking pictures and videos constantly hoping to get their 15 minutes of fame, or to just share with friends and family.
It's not commonly known but the first digital camera was developed in 1975 by an engineer at Kodak, but it took until 1990 to perfect the technology to bring a digital camera to the consumer market. It's hard to believe that the digital camera is only 18 years old really, it seems to have exploded in popularity since it's first introduction to consumers. Of course though it wasn't until a few years later that digital cameras came down in price enough that they could be affordable to the average consumer to get to the level of popularity that they enjoy today.
Types of Digital Cameras:
Digital cameras come in many shapes and sizes, you can find one type or another in any electronic device that captures images, you can find them in styles from professional styles that cost tens of thousands of dollars down to key chain cameras that only cost a few dollars, there are truly sometimes a confusing amount of cameras on the market today.
There are a few main types of digital cameras on the market today actually:
SLR or DSLR: Single Lens Reflex or Digital Single Lens Reflex are cameras considered a high end camera and the type that is preferred by professional photographers. These types of cameras offer larger zoom ranges, more lens choices, better optics and overall just produce a clearer, higher quality picture suitable for professional uses.
SLR-Like Cameras are similar to (D)SLR cameras in that they do offer some of the abilities of their higher end counterparts, but the main difference is the viewing on the LCD screen of the camera, a DSLR camera shows the actual image while the SLR-Like camera shows one that is created via the cameras processor so your actual picture may not look like it does in the LCD viewfinder. These might be considered pro-sumer types of cameras, they can be inexpensive and some offer the ability to use optional add-on lenses to increase picture taking options. These cameras though seem to be waning in popularity with the decrease in prices of standard SLR style cameras.
Compact and Ultra Compact or Point-and-Shoot digital cameras are by far the most popular digital camera on the market today. By their name they can be divided into two categories obviously where compact are small and portable and ultra-compact are very small, small enough to fit in a shirt pocket if need be. These types of cameras can be inexpensive to moderately expensive depending on the features included on the camera such as a higher range optical zoom.
There are other types of digital cameras out there today, some as inexpensive as $10 which are very basic cameras for taking very basic pictures, these can be ultra portable such as a size that fits on your key chain. These cameras are more for fun or novelty in my opinion and have no real use as they don't take good quality pictures, they're fine for sharing online via email or picture sharing sites but usually not good enough to print and save.
All digital cameras use some sort of flash memory to store their pictures, either built into the camera internally or using a flash card that can be removed, some offer both internal and external memory so you can expand on the internal memory if need be.
The Megapixel Myth:
In our society there is a trend and always has been that bigger is better, in digital cameras that's not necessarily true. The megapixel (MP) rating of a camera is to tell you the maximum resolution of the pictures that can be taken with the camera, and depending on your purposes or needs for a digital camera will help you decide on what level of megapixels you'll need.
I can recommend four to six megapixels for the average consumer, any more than that is frankly overkill and just a waste really.
If you're looking to print out small pictures like wallets, or 4x6 size then even a lower megapixel rating is fine, but if you're wanting to print larger pictures like 8x10 and above then I can recommend the four to six MP range.
Of course though that's just my opinion, some suggest that a minimum of seven MP is needed for high quality 8x10 and above printing, but four to six MP is fine for the average quality photo.
You can of course use software that will interpolate your photos for you, meaning that it will take a lower quality photo and fill in where needed to make the resolution of the photo higher, it's just basically resizing the photos. The software will attempt to enlarge the photo, but of course the results are not always worth the effort, most times the images appear grainy and the end result is not satisfactory.
Making the Purchase:
If you're in the market for a digital camera one of the first things you need to do is figure out what it is that you want your camera to do, secondly you need to know what you're going to be using the camera for.
One of the mistakes people make when buying a digital camera is buying one that is too much for them or their intended uses, if you're going to be taking general family photos you don't need professional level camera for that, but in today's society most people think that more is better. I've seen people buy cameras that are much more than they need and then end up confused by all of the options that are available to them. Why buy something with features you don't need and most likely will never use?
The average digital camera user is one that takes basic photos, it's something that replaces their old film style cameras, these people only need a point-and-shoot camera with basic options to satisfy their needs. There's no need to spend more than you have to on features that you won't use or even know how to use.
Digital camera technology has advanced to the point where even some of the most inexpensive models can take excellent pictures that can be printed or enlarged and retain their image quality. Most users won't even print out their pictures, they'll just be emailing them to friends and family or sharing them with others online. There's no need to take ten megapixel resolution pictures when you're emailing them to other people.
There's also the opposite end of the spectrum is where the consumer might wish to take higher quality pictures, here of course you'll want to look at pro-sumer levels of cameras, these are higher-end consumer level cameras with much of the features and options of professional level cameras, some of these types offer the ability to use different lenses as well to further improve your photography. These types of cameras are more for those who are more educated in this type of technology, hobbyist photographers or even business people who need professional quality photos but not at the cost of professional equipment. The pro-sumer line of cameras is for those who desire and have a need for high quality photos, the ability to manually change settings, use different lenses, and overall control their picture taking.
Probably the best advice on purchasing a digital camera is research, after you figure out what your needs are, take the time to research digital cameras before making a purchase. There are several well respected websites and magazines that review digital cameras, they can offer professional and most times unbiased reviews of popular cameras on the market today. Through these resources you can learn about the types of cameras available, their pros and cons, their features and make an informed purchasing decision. Often times these publications will also compare similar styles of cameras as well, these comparison can be very helpful in deciding on what camera is right for your needs.

Senate OKs medical pot, with plenty of restrictions
The Senate voted 18-6 Thursday to approve House Bill 573, which establishes a medical marijuana program for New Hampshire patients who are both chronically ill and exhibit certain symptoms, and who have had the same physician for more than three months.
Sen. John Reagan, R-Deerfield, said Maine has had medical marijuana for 14 years and has not had any problems.
With the home-grow provision striped from the bill, supporters said it no longer addresses people needing immediate help with pain and suffering.
While many supporters balked at Hassan's requests, they said it is important to pass a medical marijuana bill this session.
Under the bill, a person who qualifies for the program must have both a debilitating disease such as cancer, glaucoma, AIDS or hepatitis C, and conditions such as significant weight loss, severe pain or wasting syndrome.
And the Senate version requires medical marijuana patients who are renters to receive their landlord's written permission to use the drug on their premises or a relative's permission if they are visiting, and also their employers' permission.

In this Java tutorial we will learn What is Classpath in Java, how Java resolve classpath and How Classpath works in Java along side How to set classpath for Java in windows and UNIX environment. I have experience in finance and insurance domain and Java is heavily used in this domain for writing sophisticated Equity, Fixed income trading applications. Most of these investment banks has written test as part of there core Java interview questions and I always find at least one question related to CLASSPATH in Java on those interviews. Java CLASSPATH is one of the most important concepts in Java, but, I must say mostly overlooked. This should be the first thing you should learn while writing Java programs because without correct understanding of Classpath in Java you can't understand how Java locates your class files. Also don't confuse Classpath with PATH in Java, which is another environment variable used to find java binaries located in JDK installation directory, also known as JAVA_HOME. Main difference between PATH and CLASSPATH is that former is used to locate Java commands while later is used to locate Java class files.
So let's start with basic and then we will see some example and improvisation of Classpath in Java. In fact CLASSPATH is an environment variable which is used by Java Virtual Machine to locate user defined classes. As I said In this tutorial we will see How to setup classpath for java in windows and Linux , java -classpath example in different scenario and use of java -classpath or java -cp.
Setting Java Classpath in Windows
In order to set Classpath for Java in Windows (any version either Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 7) you need to specify value of environment variable CLASSPATH, name of this variable is not case sensitive and it doesn't matter if name of your environment variable is Classpath, CLASSPATH or classpath in Java.Here is Step by Step guide for setting Java Classpath in Windows:
- Go to Environment variable window in Windows by pressing "Windows + Pause "-->Advanced -->Environment variable " or you can go from right click on my computer than choosing properties and then Advanced and then Environment variable this will open Environment variable window in windows.
- Now specify your environment variable CLASSPATH and put the value of your JAVA_HOME\lib and also include current directory by including (dot or period sign).
- Now to check the value of Java classpath in windows type "echo %CLASSPATH" in your DOS command prompt and it will show you the value of directory which are included in CLASSPATH.
You can also set classpath in windows by using DOS command like :
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;JAVA_HOME\lib;
This way you can set classpath in Windows XP, windows 2000 or Windows 7 and 8, as they all come with command prompt.
Setting Java Classpath in UNIX or Linux
To set Classpath for Java In Linux you can simply export CLASSPATH="your classpath" from either your .bash_profile or .bashrc script which will run whenever you login into your Linux or Unix Machine. Now to check value of Java CLASSPATH in Linux type "echo ${CLASSPATH}" this will print value of Classpath in command prompt. By using export command you can set classpath for Java in Unix, Linux, Solaris, IBM AIX or any other UNIX operating system. I hope this example for setting classpath in Java will enable to set classpath by yourself let me know if you face any problem while setting up classpath in JavaOverriding Classpath in Java
You can override classpath in Java, defined by environment variable CLASSPATH by providing option "-cp" or "-classpath" while running Java program and this is the best way to have different classpath for different Java application running on same Unix or Windows machine, standard way to define classpath for Java application is creating start-up script for Java program and set classpath there as shown below :CLASSPATH=/home/tester/classes
java -cp $CLASSPATH Test
By default Java CLASSPATH points to current directory denoted by "." and it will look for any class only in current directory.
Different example of using Classpath in Java
In case you have multiple directories defined in CLASSPATH variable, Java will look for a class starting from first directory and only look second directory in case it did not find the specified class in first directory. This is extremely useful feature of Classpath in java to understand and it's very useful while debugging Java application or patch release kind of stuff. Let's see java -classpath exampleI have set my classpath environment variable as CLASSPATH=/home/tester/first:/home/tester/second. Now I have Test class of different version in both first and second directory. When I give a command "java Test" What will happen ? Which Test class would be picked? Since JVM search directory in the order they have listed in CLASSPATH variable it will first go to the "first" directory and if it finds Test.class over there it will not go to /home/tester/second directory. Now if you delete Test.class from /home/tester/first directory it will go to /home/tester/second directory and will pick Test.class from there.
I have used this feature of Java Classpath to test my patch releases, we used to have a folder called "patch" listed as first element in Java CLASSPATH and any point of time we want to put any debug statement or want to test any bug we just modify Java source file , compile it and generate class file and put that inside patch folder instead of creating JAR file and releasing whole new Java application. This is very handy if you are working in a large project where you don't have development environment setup in Windows and your project only runs on Unix server. This approach is much faster than remote debugging Java application in Eclipse
Its also worth noting that when you use the java -jar command line option to run your Java program as an executable JAR, then the CLASSPATH environment variable will be ignored, and also the -cp and -classpath switches will be ignored. In this case you can set your Java classpath in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file by using the Class-Path attribute. In short Class-path attribute in manifest file overrides classpath specified by -cp, -classpath or CLASSPATH environment variable.
Now a common question if I have my CLASSPATH variable pointing to current directory "." and I have class called "Test" inside package "testing" and with below directory structure C:\project\testing\Test.class in my computer.
What will happen if I run command "java Test" from directory "C:\project\testing\"? will it run?
No it will not run it will give you :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test
Since name of the class is not Test, instead it's testing.Test even though your classpath is set to current directory.
Now what will happen if I give command java testing.Test from C:\project\testing\ it will again not run and give error?
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testing/Test
Why because now it looking for class called Test which is in package testing, starting from current directory "." but don't find it since there is no directory called "testing after this path "C:\project\testing\".
To run it successfully you need to go back to directory C:\project and now run
C:\project>java testing.Test and It will run successfully because of Classpath issues i prefer to use Eclipse rather than running Java program from command prompt.
Errors related to Classpath in Java
If you are working in Java you must have faced some errors and exception related to classpath in java, two most common issues related to java classpath is ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError. I have seen that many Java developer tries to solve this error by trial and error; they just don't look beyond the hood and try to understand what the reason for these java classpath related errors is. They often misunderstood that these two errors are same also.Here is the reason of these Java classpath errors :
ClassNotFoundException is an Exception and will be thrown when Java program dynamically tries to load a Java class at Runtime and don't find corresponding class file on classpath. Two keyword here "dynamically" and "runtime". Classic example of these errors is whey you try to load JDBC driver by using Class.forname("driver name") and greeted with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. So this error essentially comes when Java try to load a class using forName() or by loadClass() method of ClassLoader. Key thing to note is that presence of that class on Java classpath is not checked on compile time. So even if those classes are not present on Java classpath your program will compile successfully and only fail when you try to run.
On the other hand NoClassDefFoundError is an Error and more critical than ClassNotFoundException which is an exception and recoverable. NoClassDefFoundError comes when a particular class was present in Java Classpath during compile time but not available during run-time. Classic example of this error is using log4j.jar for logging purpose and forgot to include log4j.jar on classpath in java during run-time. to read more about logging in Java see . Keyword here is, class was present at compile time but not available on run-time. This is normally occurring due to any method invocation on a particular class which is part of library and not available on classpath in Java. This is also asked as common interview questions as
"What is difference between NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException Exception in Java" or
"When do you see NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException Exception in Java". By the way NoClassDefFoundError can also comes due to various other reason like static initializer failure or class not visible to Classloaders in J2EE environment. Read 3 ways to resolve NoClassDefFoundError in Java for complete details.
Summary of CLASSPATH in Java
Class-Path attribute is used to contain classpath inside manifest file. Also make sure that your manifest file must end with a blank line (carriage return or new line) , here is an example of java classpath in manifest file.
Main-Class: com.classpathexample.Demo_Classpath
Class-Path: lib/tibco.jar lib/log4j.jar

Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (I.e. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
Fitting Tips
Get sized. Regularly by a professional, using a Brannock device preferably. It's important to measure the width of the foot and to take into consideration the type of arch you have.
Wear the right socks. Consider your plans and activities and wear the most breathable and absorbent socks or stockings for the occassion with the appropriate footwear. If going bare, keep clean and dry.
Check the construction. Look at the sole and heel of the shoe to see what kind of terrain the shoe is meant to handle. Also look inside to assess the lining and upper elements of the shoe, checking to see how they will address your needs. A leather lined shoe will generally last longer than one without lining, though the unlined shoe may be lighter and more appreciated in warmer climates.
Walk around. When trying on a new pair of shoes, always try on both pair and walk around a bit - always on a clean indoor surface of course. Flex your arch and toes to see if the shoes feel good while you move about. Try shoes on in the afternoon or evening. Feet swell to their largest as the day progresses, so you will get a better reading of your true size once your feet have warmed up to the day.
Some Specifics
Allow some time to break in a great pair of leather shoes--the best ones are a little tight in the beginning. By doing it right you'll have shoes that are molded to your feet perfectly. See the How To Care tab for advice on proper shoe maintenance.
If the upper of the shoe is made of elastic or an elastic-blend fabric the shoe should fit snugly and need no breaking in. Shoes should never squeeze or cramp your toes.
If your shoes are slightly too loose in the in-step, a toe pad can be added to create a better fit, preventing any unnecessary friction.
For more heel and arch support or extra cushioning, consider custom fitted orthotic inserts, or even some gel inserts to target the problem.

Best Uses
I bought this for my two relatively small singlebearing strawberry patches, my raspberry canes, and my three small blueberry bushes I've been trying to encourage for a couple of years. One bag treated them all. After one application late in the spring I got 7 pounds of strawberries (twice what I got last year), the raspberries are producing steadily (much better than last year), and the blueberries have little green berries all over them. This is a good product!

Dreaming of a backyard berry patch? An asparagus bed? Start with a raised bed. A raised bed isolates the perennial crop from invasive weeds and grasses that might creep into the growing area. All have shallow roots that don't compete well with weeds and that can be damaged by aggressive weeding tools.
Berries and other so-called small fruits generally don't require as much space as full-size fruit trees, and by growing several different types, you can enjoy home-grown fruit from early summer through late fall.

In summer, most berries demand nothing more than picking. But when it comes to raspberries, some pruning sets the stage for bountiful berries again next year.

Some men, hereto referred to as fags, choose to place gauged earrings in their ears until their lobes hang down to their genitalia. Fags have jerk parties where they play fun circle jerk games. These fags will sit in even groups, usually four fags is ideal. They sit across from one another and try to ejaculate into the gauged ear of the fag sitting across from them. If they make it in the hole on the first stroke round it's a hole in one! Some variations include handicaps for larger and smaller gauges.
Joe: Hey...Carl, so nice to see you.
Carl: what's up man? Hey, do you see those fags over there with the gauged earrings?
Joe: yea man, what the hell? I bet they scored a hole in one or two last night.

"The state's landmark Clean Elections system began with the best of intentions. Progressives wanted to reduce the role of money in politics…"
And this is progressivism in a nutshell. Pass a stupid law "with good intentions," then never take any responsibility for the actual consequences. When it doesn't succeed or (more often) actually proves destructive, do they ever repeal the failed law? No, they "fix it" by layering on it another stupid law "with good intentions," until the whole edifice eventually comes crashing down.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Special Delivery Three comedians are shooting the breeze at the back of a nightclub after a late gig. They've heard one another's material so much, they've reached the point where they don't need to say the jokes anymore to amuse each other; they just need to refer to each joke by a number. "Number 37!" cracks the first comic, and the others break up. "Number 53!" says the second guy, and they howl. Finally, it's the third comic's turn. "Number 44!" he quips. He gets nothing. Crickets. "What?" he asks. "Isn't 44 funny?" "Sure, it's usually hilarious," they answer. "But the way you tell it…"
Test of Three Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear, or you are about to repeat a rumor. In ancient Greece, Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day, the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three." "Test of Three?" the man asked. "That's correct," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student, let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man replied. "Actually, I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?" "No, on the contrary," the man replied. "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test -- the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?" The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why Socrates never found out that Plato was banging his wife.
Tough Business Two old actors are sitting on a bench. One says: "How long has it been since you had a job?" "Thirty-two years," the other actor answers. "How about you?" "That's nothing," the first actor replies. "I haven't had a job in 40 years!" "Jeez," the other says. "One of these days we've got to get out of this business!"
Friendly Gesture Jen's friend Amy is complaining about having a sore throat. "When I have a sore throat, I always give my husband a blow job and, as long as I swallow, it feels better the next day. You should try it," says Jen. The next day, they meet up and Amy is all smiles. "How did it go, then?" asks Jen. "Wonderfully!" beams Amy. "Your husband couldn't believe it was your idea."
Hellish Decision A guy dies and is sent to hell. Satan meets him, shows him doors to three rooms and says he must choose one to spend eternity in. In the first room, people are standing in excrement up to their necks. The guy says: "No, let me see the next room." In the second room, people are standing with excrement up to their noses. The guy shakes his head and says no again. Finally, Satan opens the door to the third room. People are standing with excrement up to their knees, drinking coffee and eating pastries. The guy says: "I pick this room." Satan nods and starts to leave, and the guy wades in and starts pouring some coffee. On the way out Satan yells, "OK, coffee break's over. Everyone, back on your heads!"
Understanding Nature A man trying to understand the nature of God asked him: "God, how long is a million years to you?" God answered: "A million years is like a minute." Then the man asked: "God, how much is a million dollars to you?" And God replied: "A million dollars is like a penny." Finally, the man asked: "God, could you give me a penny?" And God said: "In a minute."
New Facelift This woman goes in for a facelift and the doctor says: "We've got this new method: I put a knob in the back of your head, and every time you feel like you need a lift, just turn it." She gets the knob implanted and is beautiful for five years. But one day she notices a problem and returns to the doctor. "I've got these huge bags under my eyes," she complains. The surgeon replies: "Those aren't bags; those are your breasts." "Ah," she sighs. "That explains the goatee."

Best quote from the video "Every era, it builds character..."
Love these women. Ari, since finding your blog and the ladies (and gentlemen) you have featured here, in anticipation of my 60th b-day next month, I have re-colored my hair with a slight reddish tint that I always favored, but thought I was "too old" to wear any longer; I have totally changed my make-up; and I had my hairdresser totally redo my "do" to a blunt-cut bob that FINALLY works with my hair (as opposed to all the ideas she had suggested) that falls between my jaw and my chin, a much more flattering length. And my bang are LONG - almost touching my eyelashes. They cover up the crinkles on my eyelids and accent what is still my best feature - my eyes. Thank you for bringing this inspiration to us all, and thank you to those wonderful women (and gentlemen) who insist on being wonderfully themselves, no matter their age, and refusing to conform to stereotypes. - August 11, 2011 at 8:03 PM

I dearly love the last statement of the video "young woman you're gonna be an old woma, don't worry about it" not like "haha, too bad, you're gonna be old" but more like "it's about time, but no worries, one day you will eventually have the greatest fun of your life!"

I'm new to this blog and though I really love the looks shown here, I do sense a subliminal wiff of the idea that only older women who are 'batty' would consider dressing in these ways.
I would also like to see more pix of older women who are really singularly stylish - like Camille Gottlieb - and put their clothes together in a unique, fashionable way. Even Otelli and Carmen with their fashion-model looks were a nice contrast to the surreal flights of imagination most often shown on these pages.
Keep up the good work but please don't make me have to troll only the Satorialist if I want to see other choices by stylish older women - August 12, 2011 at 7:20 AM

Harrell, Astros battle Tigers hoping to snap skid
Houston has lost five straight; Altuve, Norris injured on Monday
The Tigers are a dangerous offensive team, something Lucas Harrell knows all too well.
The Astros right-hander will start against Detroit in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday night at Comerica Park, his second meeting with Detroit this month. After the first one, there likely is nowhere to go but up.
Harrell came into that outing on a roll, 3-0 with a 1.82 ERA over his previous four games. He left battered and bruised, having surrendered eight runs on 10 hits and four walks over 4 1/3 innings in a 17-2 loss. He gave up four runs in the first inning and a two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera in the second.
"When you face a lineup with hitters that are this good, sometimes when you make good pitches they're going to make better hits," Harrell said. "So it's just one of those things where you can't make any mistakes. I made one mistake to Miguel Cabrera late and he got me."
Did Harrell learn anything about facing the dynamic duo of Prince Fielder and Cabrera, who went 4-for-6 with two homers and six RBIs in the game?
"Get them out in one or two pitches, because if they're going to hit a home run, you don't want to throw six pitches and have them hit a home run," he said. "Because then you burn a bunch of pitches. So I try to attack those guys to throw good strikes."
Harrell won't have to face Tigers leadoff man Austin Jackson, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a strained left hamstring. Avisail Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Toledo, although Don Kelly got the start in center field.
Despite the injury, Harrell isn't expecting any less from Detroit's lineup.
"[Jackson's] a great player and their center fielder and the captain of the outfield," Harrell said, "but they have so many guys in their system that will step in and I know will do well, so it's just about attacking the guy that comes in."
Harrell (3-3, 4.67 ERA) rebounded in his last start, against the Angels, giving up one earned run in five innings. But he also tied a career high with six walks and needed 106 pitches to get through five.
The Tigers will counter with Doug Fister (4-1, 3.14), who took a no-decision against the Astros on May 3. He gave up three runs -- two earned -- on nine hits in six innings, walking one and striking out four.
The right-hander is coming off his least effective start of the season, Thursday at Washington. He lasted only three innings, surrendering five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits.
Since then, Fister has been working to slow down his delivery out of the stretch and made a mechanical tweak to try and sharpen his curveball, pitching coach Jeff Jones said. The curve, which has flattened out in recent starts, has been a huge reason for Fister's success since he was acquired from the Mariners in 2011.
"He's got a good curveball," Jones said.
Fister is throwing the same percentage of curveballs this season that he did last year, according to STATS, and he's getting a higher percentage of swings and misses. However, opponents are hitting .219 against his curve, compared to .154 last year.
Astros: Altuve, Norris leave Monday's game
Second baseman Jose Altuve, hitting .333 this season, left Monday's loss in the second inning with a partially dislocated right jaw. The injury occurred when Altuve raced back to catch a popup and collided with right fielder Jimmy Paredes.
No. 1 starter Bud Norris also left the game after suffering back spasms while throwing his sixth-inning warmups.
• Manager Bo Porter took some of the uncertainty out of the daily lineup card on Monday, when he named Robbie Grossman, J.D. Martinez and Paredes as his starting outfielders. They had been sharing starts with Trevor Crowe and Brandon Barnes but now will get a better chance to solidify themselves in the Astros' future plans.
"They're going to get the bulk of the playing time," Porter said, "so that I, as a manager, can make a definitive decision as a manager to answer the question, 'Can this guy or can that guy play every day at the Major League level?'"
Tigers: Options abound with Jackson out
Jackson will leave a significant hole in the middle of the outfield and top of the lineup while he is sidelined, but manager Jim Leyland can do some different things to try to fill the void.
Sometimes he might use the strategy he did on Monday, with Kelly manning center and Andy Dirks leading off. Dirks, who went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in the first game of the series, has played center before and could get some starts there against right-handed pitchers.
Leyland said he will not move former Gold Glove center fielder Torii Hunter over from right, leaving Garcia as the other option. The 21-year-old, who has played the position some in the Minors, hit well for the Tigers late last season and made the club's postseason roster. He was 16-for-37 (.432) with a double and a home run in eight games at Triple-A Toledo after coming off the disabled list.
Worth noting
• Including their 7-2 win on Monday, the Tigers have outscored the Astros 44-10 in winning all five games of the season series.
• Fister has hit more batters (10) than he has walked (eight) this season.

Dave D'Onofrio's Patriots Notebook: Win in New York was just out of reach
Replays aired during the live television broadcast were inconclusive, so Patriots fans were left to find alternative video sources to see why the call was made — or perhaps why it was wrong. But if they're going to that footage to look at why their Pats lost a division game, and a chance to move to 6-1, they shouldn't waste their time on that play.
Look at the Jets' efficiency on third down by comparison. Led by rookie quarterback Geno Smith, New York was 11-for-21 overall, moving the chains when in situations that required them to gain 10, 14 and 21 yards, and scoring a touchdown on third and seven.
Look at the New England offensive line allowing four sacks, which brings their total to 13 in the past three games, and puts Brady on a pace to be dropped 46 times this season. Not since 2001 has he been sacked more than 32 times in a whole year.
Look at Brady, too, though. Hurt again by a few drops, he hit on just 22 of 46 throws, and thus completed less than half his passes for the third time in seven games this season. He also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second time in three weeks after tossing at least one in every game for more than three seasons.
"There are no excuses," Brady said. "We didn't play well."

Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look.
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning (encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words, flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove 1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Planting Shrubs Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil amendment.
Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant. Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden.
Although many people believe that cooler temperatures are responsible for the color change, the weather has nothing to do with it at all. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a chemical clock inside the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As fall progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the chemical that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall. Glossary : Deciduous Deciduous refers to those plants that lose their leaves or needles at the end of the growing season. Glossary : Evergreen Evergreen refers to plants that hold onto their leaves or needles for more than one growing season, shedding them over time. Some plants such as live oaks are evergreen, but commonly shed the majority of their older leaves around the end of January. Glossary : Perennial Perennial: traditionally a non-woody plant that lives for two or more growing seasons. Glossary : Old Fashioned or Heritage Plant Old Fashioned or Heritage Plant is any plant that is reminiscent of early times or tied to a particular region. Often found in the yards of grandmothers or abandoned home sites. Glossary : pH pH, means the potential of Hydrogen, is the measure of alkalinity or acidity. In horticulture, pH refers to the pH of soil. The scale measures from 0, most acid, to 14, most alkaline. Seven is neutral. Most plants prefer a range between 5.5 and about 6.7, an acid range, but there are plenty of other plants that like soil more alkaline, or above 7. A pH of 7 is where the plant can most easily absorb the most nutrients in the soil. Some plants prefer more or less of certain nutrients, and therefore do better at a certain pH. Glossary : Small Shrub A small shrub is less than 3 feet tall. Glossary : Small Tree A small tree is less than 30 feet tall. Glossary : Flower Characteristics Flower characteristics can vary greatly and may help you decide on a ""look or feel"" for your garden. If you're looking for fragrance or large, showy flowers, click these boxes and possibilities that fit your cultural conditions will be shown. If you have no preference, leave boxes unchecked to return a greater number of possibilities. Glossary : Foliage Characteristics By searching foliage characteristics, you will have the opportunity to look for foliage with distinguishable features such as variegated leaves, aromatic foliage, or unusual texture, color or shape. This field will be most helpful to you if you are looking for accent plants. If you have no preference, leave this field blank to return a larger selection of plants. Glossary : Landscape Uses By searching Landscape Uses, you will be able to pinpoint plants that are best suited for particular uses such as trellises, border plantings, or foundations. Glossary : Viruses Viruses, which are smaller than bacteria, are not living and do not replicate on their own. They must rely on the cellular mechanisms of their hosts to replicate. Because this greatly disrupts the cell's functionality, outward signs of a viral infection result in a plant disease with symptoms such as abnormal or stunted growth, damaged fruit, discolorations or spots.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year. Glossary : Fertilize Fertilize just before new growth begins with a complete fertilizer.
