It takes half a verse before Rihanna spits out her first "fuck" and less time to realise that this Barbadian means business.

Pour It Up's strip-club mise-en-scene and Jump's invitations to ride Rihanna's "pony" see sex wriggling everywhere, while her provocative duet with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who assaulted her in 2009, is a difficult listen ("every touch is infectious" indeed).

The Reserve Bank of India has not moved to inflation targeting yet, governor Raghuram Rajan said on Friday, adding some aspects of Deputy Governor Urjit Patel-led committee's recommendations need to be discussed with the government.
"What the RBI has said is that we are exploring the recommendations of the Urjit Patel report," Rajan said at the convocation ceremony at Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research here on Friday.
"We have said that the Urjit Patel Committee's report says two things which we feel are useful. First is that we probably should focus more on CPI (Consumer Price Index) than WPI (Wholesale Price Index) because CPI is the inflation that actually what the common man sees and is base for many decisions and second that we need to bring CPI down, a reasonable path to bring it down over time."
The Patel committee in January recommended that the central bank should adopt the headline Consumer Price Index (Combined) as a nominal anchor for policy communication.
It also recommended that the central bank should aim to reduce headline CPI to 8% by January 2015, and 6% by January 2016.
"Do we have a target (for inflation)? The answer is no. We haven't moved into inflation targeting as yet...That's something the Urjit Patel committee suggests, it's not something the RBI has accepted," Rajan said.
Rajan shed further light on the ongoing focus over the trade-off between growth and inflation. "In the short run, there may be a cost to bringing down inflation in terms of growth. But in the long run, bringing down inflation is a good thing," Rajan said.
"...the long run trade off (between growth and inflation) doesn't exist. In the long run, people get wiser. People see high rates of inflation...you can't fool them, and you don't get any additional growth...you get growth from other things, but not from generating inflation," the governor reasoned.
With reference to developing countries, Rajan said that high inflation was detrimental, and that policymakers had to act, and "passivity" and "inactivity" were not options for them.--Cogencis

...The army is used as "an institution that promotes social cohesion" and a "principal place" of forming national consciousness and participating in the nation building project "as conceived by the authorities, i.e. promoting Israel as a Jewish national state". In this perspective, according to the Justice and Peace commisssion operating in the Holy Land, "talk about drafting of Christian Arabs rather than the Arabs in general - Muslims and Christians - is clearly an attempt to drive a wedge between Christians and Muslims in Israel". On addressing these delicate problems, the Church should keep in mind that "the army is used as a means of imposing and maintaining the occupation of Palestinian territories and thus preventing Palestinians from achieving dignity and independence". The army is primarily "an army of aggression rather than an army of defense". Therefore "the use of army service to divide the Arab population against itself is detrimental to the interests of the Arabs as a community."

Kenneth, you were the man pouring the Lillet at that Annina Nosei opening with those mysterious Laplante photographs of ghosts dancing in rooms. There was organ music. Now we're in your home. We could talk days about the bathroom alone. It's so tall, 14 feet. It looks like a sauna because the wood sink cabinet has that brown Swedish after-ski look. There are a thousand pictures on the walls. [Kenneth] People like the John Waters one he signed for me, See you in hell.'' Kelly and I are both from Bay City, Michigan. We've only been here six months. I went to five colleges. I got my master's at UMass. I called Kelly at Cranbrook, the art school, and said, Let's move to New York.
Can we turn the music off? It's driving me insane. [Kelly] It's public radio. Apartment hunting was very scary. We looked at an apartment in Little Italy, $1100, 400 square feet. We didn't even get it. We were freaking. [Kenneth] I didn't have any credit cards. [Kelly] We didn't have any jobs. We found this place by word of mouth. Two guys had started fixing it, put in a shower, a toilet, and gave up. It used to be the J. Krantz machine shop. [Kenneth] All the ephemera we found was from 1974.
Your front room has wood floors. The back is all cement. It's a little chilly. Whoaah, what's that wind? Our industrial heater just went on. Our landlord put up drywall and divided the bedrooms. [Kelly] We were pretty adamant about taking the walls to the ceiling for privacy.
Where are Kelly's pop vinyl paintings? Oh, here they are! And Kenneth, these must be your marvelous brooding photographs. Brings to mind those gloomy German landscapes. You know, the Germans have an oak fetish. [Kenneth] I know. I was in the Canary Islands once. There was this German. Everything in his house was dark oak and when you looked out his window all you could see were the palm trees and the beautiful light outside. When he wasn't looking I photographed his Nazi book collection. Here's a favorite photo I took of an abandoned mental hospital.
Empty spaces become almost the protagonist. Like the living room in the Lynch movie Lost Highway. [Kelly] But there's always the history of the space, that something once happened there. [Kenneth] There are always objects, remains.
What's this wall with the skulls and the skins? My dad's a hunter. To do a bonding thing, we stretched a beaver together. The next day he brought home foxes. I cried. Do you eat venison? [Kenneth whips open the refrigerator.] Here, my father shot a deer with a bow and arrow. He made it into hickory sticks.
You have shelves full of small fighting action figures. Marvel comics is like the earliest view I have of New York. Then I got a little older and I thought New York would be like it was in 1970s movies. [Kelly] Like in Taxi Driver.
Kenneth, tell how you were mugged! One night I got to the door here. A man was trying to put his hands in my pocket. I showed him my wallet was empty. He said, You live here? He handed the wallet back and apologized. The lot next door is so trashy. This pack of wild dogs crawl underneath the fence and lie on mattresses so nobody will mess with them.
That's kind of '70s. [Kenneth] Yes, but still, New York in the '90s is so sanitized, like the rest of America now. There are so many franchises.
Franchises in New York never look like they do in the rest of America. Kmart is supposed to be about cars and shopping carts. But the one on Astor is so sophisticated. Isn't it, though. I told my mom, Oh, you have to come and walk through the orchids at the Kmart here. There are no orchids at Kmart in Michigan.

I only played the game for a few hours so I'm not sure if it's balanced well or if there are OP classes. It seemed like priests and warriors might be OP from my limited experience. I mostly played mage.

I depends on who you ask. Every class has a competing counter class that they'll scream to be nerfed. There isn't one particular deck that stomps all others if that's what you're asking. There are BETTER decks.. and better decks tend to be in the hands of players willing to pay for the cards. But otherwise, it's fairly balanced.

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did.
I've played maybe 500 games over the past few months. In my humble opinion, I would say Mage has the most potential to make me ragequit. A well played Rogue is also very strong.

Healer was only one I struggled against in practice mode, although that maybe due to the fact I went up against her with basic core cards, all decks have potential though. Being able to attack players while creatures are in play is the only thing I don't like about the format.

So i answered the question as a definite YES it is BALANCED !!. and no there are no O/P classes.
I hope to explain a few things about this game and do not admit to being perfect with my play style or thinking during games,but i do fully understand the whole idea behind winning.
Often you hear the term META game,this is very much true.That basically means that whatever trend is current means a lot of players adjust their decks accordingly.That basically means nothing is O/P forever because when a deck becomes too strong,75% play it and then the other 25% have decks to beat it.
Even so there is always luck of the starting draw and along the way and your decisions are CRUCIAL,one simple mistake can cost the game and i know i have lost many from one mistake.
I learned a LOT from this guys rating of cards.BTW he is kind of famous he has been a top rated player even winning with decks that are suppose to be rather weak.The reason is his FULL understanding of all cards at each cost.
TRUMP ratings.

I would say Rogue and Mage with their sheep and saps, etc. You've been holding onto a good card, then it gets sheeped as soon as you break it out.
I've played around 300 games I would guess, I agree that you will definitely be ahead if you spend money on decks. However, I can put together a low budget deck and crush people as long as it's not a mage. At the same time, my higher budget Rogue deck was made to make people rage quit. Almost half my cards in that deck only serve to neutralize the opponants cards lol.
There is some RNG also. Starting off strong can make or break a game. A few times my first 5 or 6 cards were all 5 mana and over. I went four turns without being able to do anything, while my opponent had 5 mionions out kicking the crap out of me. That particular game didn't require any skill on his part other than just attacking while I sat there. It isn't common you run into that, but it's happened to me more than a few times.
It's a fun game though, as long as I don't play too many games at once. I haven't noticed any OP classes to be honest. Sure I think there could be some tweaks, but even if it wasn't tweaked, I think it's good as it is.
-Unconstitutional laws aren't laws.-
Blizzard seem to have done a good job with the balancing - I find Warlock and Shaman the strongest (different choices from other people on this thread).
I find Warlock strong because they can keep on drawing cards, so they don't run out of options / cards towards the end of the game.
I find Shaman strong because of the unpredictable totems - those totems are good at dominating the board, and I think that's what most of this game is about. However, the totems are unpredictable, so there is a bit more chance involved.
I think mages seem strong, because this is the deck you start with, and people feel comfortable with what they have most experience of.
Each deck has the potential OP with some specific cards.
- Hunters are annoying overall apart of arena because of the great synergy with beasts, traps and call of the hound combos.
- Mages are one of the most annoying and can be very OP usually vs good people you will see them stalling your creatures and saving cards. That means they are saving their fireballs and/or pyroblasts to kill you without needing creatures. (Ps The class with the most damaging spells also has secrets to stop enemy spells from being cast)
- Priests will make you tear your hair off unless you have a lot of 4 attack creatures (Their only weakness) else they can do buffs with high hp creatures to turn their attack same as their hp which usually means instant loss. They also have cheap removals, heals, sliences (0 cost!!) and of course mind control the most rage inducing card of all BUT there's more! They also have creatures that can take creatures from your side and an other spell that takes control of 1 creature for that turn only.
Plus I almost forgot they also have the ability to take copies from your deck/hand too!
- Shamans beware of shamans, if you see them stacking cards that could mean they are going to do a x2 rock biter + windfury combo (rock biter = +3 attack for that turn, windfury = attack twice) Never let them have many creatures as they also have a spell that gives all friendly creatures +3 attack for the turn.
- Paladin I find these have the least viable OP decks in my opinion BUT that doesn't mean they don't have any. They have good buffs that can make creatures from weak into dangerous, divine shield makes them immune from damage once and plenty of good endgame spell cards.
- Warlock they have a ton of combos thanks to their power of drawing cards. There's the most popular murlock decks which are annoying but doable if you know what to do, giants deck which can be very dangerous and there's the demon deck which while they have weaknesses they compansate it with high attack.
- Druid the least class used in my opinion. Their spells are quite highish in cost but they have a spell that costs 0 to gain 2 additional mana for this turn or spells to increase your mana crystals permanently. They have high damaging taunts and are the only class I believe with creatures and spells that have a choice of 2 things to do. (For example do 5 damage on one creature or 2 on all, summon a 3/2 creature or give all friendly creatures +1/+1 etc etc)
- Warrior after being nerfed they aren't seen much.
I myself like them and play an enrage charge deck combo but they can be hard to play since they don't have much removals and no good aoe so I don't know what to say on this, just beware of one specific creature (Well there's more but this one is the top) if you see a 2/3 creature that has text written that it gives charge to other minions DESTROY IT or it's pain for you.
That's it I think.

There really isn't any OP class although many might try to make claims.
Priest is probably the least successful deck yet there are a few people who manage to be on top of the rankings using them. The game is actually fairly balanced. You may get frustrated at the start of this game getting pummeled by people with a more extensive repertoire of cards, but that is just par for the course.
The meta also shifts a lot as you move through ranks. Rank 25-15 you will see a lot of rush/aggro decks, 15+ you will start to see more mid-range/control decks with quite a few rush/aggro decks in the mix. Once you get into legend you will see considerably less rush/aggro and quite a bit more control decks and you will start to see more deck variations.
Learning all the cards in the game and their synergies with other cards is your goal, play all the classes to at least get all their basic cards and learn them a bit.
Don't get frustrated if you get knocked out in turn 4 by a UtH Hunter or Warlock Murloc, the game does have the element of luck and sometimes you will just get a bad draw nd someone will draw from the gods and wipe you quick, happens to everyone, even the pros. If you have trouble making decks you can always netdeck Trumps, Reynads, or Tidesoftime; I started out using their decks with a measure of success before I started making my own.

Hunters are used quite a bit due to unleash the hounds and how cheap the decks can be made and Rogues depending on the person again can be devastating.
Well he wanted to know op class not what people used else I would have told him to wait for legendaries or buy packs with monies as there are some too good to not have cards like bloodhoof vs priest.
And I stand by what I said I rarely see warriors and druids usually always damn mages, priests, hunters and the occasional warlocks.
Maybe I'm not at the highest rank in ranked duels like you but there was no misinformation from my end as I stated what each hero has that can make it good essentially stating that there isn't 1 OP class as all have their respective cards that can make them so.
(As for shamans try doing the combo I said with the 7/5 stealth or any stealth creature ;) )
I've changed my mind!
Despite some classes being slightly better than others, there is no substitute for skill - the advantages of certain classes is not as important as skill. In addition, the luck of card draw is overcome by player skill in the long-run.
I think Mage has the upper hand slightly for Arena because this class has the greatest number of tide-changing cards. For example, the common card 'sheep' can totally bugger up an attack.
I think Paladin is slightly best for standard compiled play because you can make some amazing combinations. The class ability to generate a 1/1 trooper works very well with the class specific cards. However, because this class relies more on combinations, I think it's not so good for Arena.

I favor the Paladin. On more than one occasion the person I was playing against left my 1/1 summon minion on the deck only to have me throw 2x blessing of kings on him along with 1/2 taunt to draw the aggro. It's sometimes difficult to come back from an 8 hit minion if he has other aggros cards pulling the players attention. Granted that's thrown all to hell with a simple sheep...
On the other hand I was absolutely destroyed by a Hunter who favored secrets and weapons. I was destroyed in 5 or so turns. Just bad luck and inexperience on my part. Ugh that was an ugly match...

I think the Warlock has a way OP card. Its the one that lets you transform into a demon and start summoning 6/6 demons for 2 mana.

It's a credit to the developers that so many classes think they are the best!
Yes it's soooooo OP....
You waste a turn unless you have summoning portal on the field and your hero has 15 health not 30. If you were losing prior to that it will only make you last a little longer.
A 9 cost legendary not common mind you is late game and you will have or should have creatures on the board with decent to high attacking power.
The class legendary are grommash from warrior which is a beast, the paladin legendary is a great taunt with divine shield and if it dies you get a weapon, the priest legendary is insane and you shouldn't let it live more than one turn ,the rouge legendary is a beast if you can combo a lot of cards, shaman legendary is soso, warlock legendary very situational, mage if you let their legendary stay on the field you are dead (Most stupid ability ever), hunter legendary is one of the worse and druid legendary is great too.
Best legendaries are neutral.

As far as a OP class goes. If you play ranked, 1 out of 3 opponents past rank 13 are hunters. Past rank 10 1 out of 2 are hunters. That should give you a idea of what class is favored during the current meta. I play shaman. Have not seen past r5 yet. But still have about half a month left.

I'm going to say that for arena purposes, paladin is the strongest and warrior is the weakest. I've had an arena run get to 7 wins with every class except warrior and warlock, and not having a good run as a warlock felt more like a fluke than a generally bad class.
But I've only has two runs that got to 9 wins, and both were with paladin--even though I've only had four arena runs with paladin out of 31 total. Those two runs ended up being 12-1 and 12-0, and in the just completed 12-0 run, I noted that a lot of my opponents toward the end (when the game is throwing the elite opponents at you because you've got 7+ wins) were also paladins.
Then again, my only 0-3 run was also paladin.
For what it's worth, in my 12-0 run, 2x mind control tech was the key cards that swung a bunch of close matches in my favor. I only had one card that cost more than 5 mana, and that was a guardian of kings. But a strategy of letting the other player build up minions and then stealing them won some really drawn-out games for me--including one where both players took a bunch of fatigue damage at the end and only one card wasn't played.

I enjoy playing the priest the most, but my color is usually white in TCG's. Currently I would say that paladin is the strongest deck in that they tend to be the hardest to beat - but predictable with druid being the most flexible in that there decks are hard to predict.
Anyway. I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that one of the strengths of this game being online is that deck rankings and cards will be changes all the time to keep things fresh.

Boston Acoustics Introduces New Boston Rally Series Component Speakers; Rally Series Delivers Hi-Fidelity Sound with Eye-Catching Industrial Design.
PEABODY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 2000
Boston Acoustics Inc. (Nasdaq: BOSA) today introduced the New Boston Rally(R)series car component speakers. Following in the footsteps of the award-winning Boston ProSeries components, these technically innovative new models truly redefine the price/performance relationship for premium automotive speakers.
There are 3 two-way systems in this new series: The RC620 features a 6.5" woofer, while the RC520 and RC420 feature a 5" and 4" woofer respectively. All the systems are equipped with three different tweeter mounting kits for maximum installation flexibility. In addition, a system-specific crossover, housed in a stylish translucent enclosure, perfectly blends the drivers together to provide smooth, seamless performance.
These new models are also an easy fit into a large range of factory speaker locations in many cars and trucks. They can be installed behind existing factory panels or surface mounted, using the supplied grilles for a more `custom' look.
Unique System Upgrade
To upgrade the system further, an optional Neo3r ambient Tweeter System may be added. This system is designed to further improve the imaging and sound stage by raising up the apparent soundstage from its normal low level (due to the usual door panel or floor placement of the system) to a higher, more natural sonic presentation.
Product Technology Highlights
The New Boston Rally woofers utilize a center-mounted aluminum "AMD" (Amplitude Modification Device) that acts as a heat sink to draw heat away from the woofer's motor assembly to aid high power handling and enhance reliability. This device also improves performance by delivering a smooth, flat frequency response over the entire audible range of the driver. The tweeter in all three models is Boston's exclusive 1" Kortec(TM) soft dome model. This advanced design provides an extremely smooth response, high power handling and exceptional reliability. Rather than using a generic crossover design for all three models, each system-specific crossover is perfectly matched to each set of components to provide the smoothest possible crossover curve to blend the components together seamlessly. A plug-in module can be added to this crossover to facilitate the optional tweeter system upgrade.
Pricing and Availability
The RC620 and RC520 have an MSRP of $299 per pair. The RC420 has an MSRP of $279 per pair. These products will ship in June 2000.
The Boston Rally series are sold exclusively through Boston's authorized specialty retailers. For more information please visit Boston Acoustics at www.bostonacoustics.com or call 978-538-5000.

Phoenix and Eagle Harbor
This church was built in 1858 at the Cliff Mine. In 1899 it was dismantled and moved here to Phoenix. It was active until 1957.
There used to be a school next door.
Only a foundation left now.
This town started with 15 people in 1844. The first winter they nearly starved to death because a ship that was supposed to bring supplies wrecked. In the 1880s this place was booming with about 1,000 residents. They had daily stage coach service to Calumet, two general stores, two saloons, a hotel, a wagonmaker, a jewler, a doctor, a shoemaker, a talior, and a telegraph. By 1893 they shrunk to about 100 people.
The mine.
Inside the church.
This blacksmith shop was also originally built at the Cliff Mine and later moved here as things shut down there.
Before there were roads and railroads, things came by ship.
Ore freighters still glide silently by.
At the site of this falls and partial wooden dam (left side) there once was a fuse factory that made 50,000 feet of fuse a day for the mines.
1915 highway bridge.
1990 highway bridge next to it.
This small county has highway signs that look like this. Nice touch.
This courthouse, built in 1866, is still in use. By the way, there were two divorces in this county in 2005, seven in 2006, and eight in 2007. Can a lawyer make a living here?
This is the Sheriff's Department and Jail. The Sheriff lives there and his wife cooks meals for the inmates.
When the miners came to town, there were often problems. Sometimes there were lethal fights between the Methodist Cornwall miners and the Irish Catholics. The town built a sturdy jail in the attic of this place. There was one very large and very troublesome miner that the town had a hard time with. Eventually they ordered a 200 pound ball and chain. When he would come to town, they would attach the ball and chain before he got too drunk. After leaving him in a park, they were surprised to find him in a bar with a drink on one hand while carrying his ball in chain with the other arm.
Nice falls along the lakeshore roads.
Also nice shore and beach scenes.

Lake Superior
A little info about Lake Superior as we travel along the shore.
Lake Superior is the largest Great Lake both by surface area and volume of water. In fact, it could contain all of the other Great Lakes plus three extra Lake Eries.
Canada diverts some water into Lake Superior instead of dumping it into Hudson Bay. There is a treaty that controls the minimum water level for Lake Superior.
It takes 200 years to completely replace the water in Lake Superior (retention time) which is an important reason why we can't mess it up. Retention time in Lake Michigan is about 100 years and Lake Erie is about 2 1/2 years.
The lake averages about 500 feet in depth and has a 1,333 foot deep spot near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Lake SUperior has the largest surface area of any fresh water lake in the world. It contains 10% of the earth's fresh water. There is enough water to flood all of North and South America to a depth of one foot.
300 streams and rivers feed the lake. The watershed ranges from about 150 miles out in Ontario to about 5 miles inland near Pictured Rocks.
Shipping breaks down with about 50%+ iron ore, 30% coal, 10% grain, and about 10% other stuff. 80% is domestic shipping with 20% international. Each year 50-100 "salties" come this far from the Atlantic Ocean doing international shipping. Big ore ships (1,000 footers) caryy about 60,000 tons. Smaller ones, like the self unloader in the foreground, carry about 26,000 tons.

Eagle Harbor, Brockway Mountain, and Copper Harbor
It is unusual to find a sand beach along this rocky shoreline.
This 1853 Eagle Harbor school was the site where the Knights of Pythias was formed. A teacher that worked here started the organization in 1860.
This organization once had close to a million members in the US and Canada. Abe Lincoln liked it and thought it was good for the country post civil war.
Eagle Harbor is another small rocky harbor along the peninsula.
If you can find you way into it without busting up on the rocks, it is a nice harbor.
The lighthouse will get you here.
The range light (navaid) will get you in.
This ride along the shore is one of the best rides around. You will feel your stomach floating in your chest from time to time. No need to speed. Just ride it.
This gadget was used to pank roads to give them a good surface for horses and sleighs in the winter time. In the 20s and 30s mechanical snow removal equipment came into play.
As you ride the shore, you will eventually come to a turn off for Brockway Mountain. Take it, but also try to ride the shore road to Copper Harbor that you missed. Both are great.
This 9.5 mile road up and down Brockway is one of those depression public works projects. 300 men were paid 25 cents an hour to build this. Total cost was $30K.
Looking back toward Eagle Harbor.
Looking south.
Looking at the mountain from the SE.
The ride down to the east (Copper Harbor) is great.
Looking out at Copper Harbor. One of the first light houses on the lake was put in here in 1849. The Astor was looking for shelter from a storm here in 1844 and busted up on the rocks.
A newer version of that lighthouse.
The Army put Fort Wilkins in here to protect the area from conflict with the Indians and immigrants and the like. There never really was any trouble. During the civil war they sort of shut things down when they moved the troops south leaving a caretaker behind. You can tour the fort in the state park.

An optional trip to the tip.
You can ride out to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula to visit, camp, or check out the old rocket range. I have done it on a DL1000 before, but I don't recommend it as it can get rocky.
Here are some pix and info from some other trips I made out there in the past.
Camping at High Rock Bay. (Pix from one of the CannonTreks)
Meefzah (in the picture) will tell you it is a great place to greet the sunrise.
Nearby is the site of a rocket range where experiments were conducted.
A scenic spot.
Some pix from the rocket days.
Some of the experiments involved firing a rocket from a buoy.
Some of you divers may know about the wonderful underwater preserves Michigan has. These is a pretty extensive preserve around much of the Keweenaw. Lots of wrecks to dive.
In 1913 the Waldo was navigating the lake when it got caught in a storm. A huge wave ripped the pilot house off the 451 foot ship nearly taking the Captain overboard as well. Another wave took out the crews quarters and 22 men and two women managed to escape to another part of the ship. The Captain, who was trying to navigate with a lifeboat compass and an oil lamp, tried to thread the needle by passing between the tip and Manitou Island. He smacked into Gull Rock and the ship split in half. They stayed alive for three days out there burning anything from the wreckage they could. Finally two lifesaving crews found them and rescued them.
Not so long ago, a Coast Guard vessel was picking up a buoy in the middle of the night. A young officer was leading the operation. Apparently she didn't have enough reference points on the shore to detect that her ship was drifting. The ship soon hit the rocks, busted open, and sank. All were rescued but the ship was lost. It was drug out to deeper water and is now a dive destination. The approximate site of this mishap is the red X on the first map in this post.

Estivant Pines and Keweenaw Lodge
A tour through a sanctuary to preserve some very old white pines.
Some of these trees started out with Chris Columbus.
Someone wanted to harvest them in the 1970s but public outcry killed that.
I wonder how many thousands of these are buried in the mines.
A nice ride through here.
Another public relief project from the depression.
Golf course.
US 41 runs through some forests and rolling terrain coming out of Copper Harbor going south. It is not as nice as the shore roads, but pretty darn close. By the way, US 41 from the tip to Menominee is named "Sheridan Road" after Civil War Major General Phil Sheridan, a cavalry commander who never lost a battle.
I think I mentioned tha blackflies could be a problem this time of year. Not uncommon to see people dressed for it.

Delaware and Central Mines
The Delaware Mine was just down the road from the Central and Cliff Mines. It never really did as well though.
About 1,500 people lived here in the 1870s. There were 200+ structures.
Horace "Go west young man" Greeley invested in this mine. He should have invested in the Central or Cliff where $100K got you $2 million. Horace didn't pick 'em well I guess. He lost the election to Ulyesses Grant too.
He did get a nearby mountain named after him though.
You can climb down 100' to take a tour of the first level of this mine today.

The Central Mine did much better.
Some of the structures have been restored. I took a tour of this miner's home a while back. Pretty basic.
I took a ride up on top of the hill looking for the powder house and some other stuff.
Mine doctor's house.
Needless to say I didn't poke around this shaft. 52 million pounds of copper came out of this mine between 1854 and 1898. 1,300 people lived here.
The mine captain's house was usually right in the thick of mine operations.
On the last Sunday of July, every year since 1907, there is a reunion here of descendents of people who lived or worked here. This building is a museum of artifacts and has some exhibits.
This is what happens to these houses over time.

Mohawk, Gay, Jacobsville
The snowfall was pretty minimal this year. We were able to ride dirt bikes in April.
Mowhawk was once the big town out here.
The National Guard moved in during the mine strike.
They must have trouble with their highway signs here to have to post the penalty.
The Gay Bar. Good food. You can get a T-shirt.
The Gay School. There used to be better than 1,000 people living here.
The old mill site.
This thing is going to have to come down sometime.
The mill is gone.
But a big field tailings are covering the shoreline.
This is a ship canal that allows a shortcut through Houghton-Hancock.
This is the original Jacobsville Lighthouse that had to be moved when they widened the canal in the 30s.
This is the replacement which is now a B&B.
Personally, I would skip this down and back to Jacobsville and spend the time you save at the Lindell Chocolate Shoppe instead.

Stopped for lunch here.
The interior is much like it was many years ago. Worth a visit.
Another one of those gadgets for grooming the roads for horses and sleighs.
The mining companies had some stamp mills and smelters along the lake. Stamp mills smash rock into sand like particles so it can be processed further. By 1873 10,000 tons of ingot copper ws being shipped out of here each year. The stamping mill and smelter here were among the world's largest. They closed after the 1968 stike that killed off mining in this area.
They dumped the stamp sands (waste) into the lake filling in about 20% of it over time. These sands are a superfund site.
After WWII, they found out that they could get more copper out of sands they previously discarded. They got a dredge to pump sands out of the lake to be reprocessed. During the winter, they left the dredge lay out in the lake. The bilge pump failed and the dredge sunk before the pumps could be restarted. There is a buoy marking the roof that is near the suface out in the lake. This dredge met a similar fate but sunk next to the shore.
There are two companies in the UP that make hardwood sports floors. (Conner and Horner) This is the Horner plant in Dollar Bay.
The Connor plant in Amasa had the contract for the custom NCAA floors. I think they are building one that can be assembled in only a few hours. The winning school gets to keep the floor. Some take it home and use it. Some cut it up and sell the pieces. Apparently there is a lot of science to sports floors.
I stopped into the Coast Guard station as I wanted to get a look at a 47 foot motor lifeboat they had. They were involved in training when I stopped so the visit didn't work out.
The 47' boat is a wonder though. It is a first response recue boat for rough seas and weather. They are self-bailing, self-righting, almost unsinkable, and have a good cruising range. Boats like this are being added to the fleet monthly as replacements for the 44' MLB fleet. Over five years, 200 will be delivered. (This may be complete by now.)
I guess this thing has shock absorbing seats so the crew can take a beating in the surf. This thing can operate in 20' breaking seas.
My Canadian friends might be amused to discover that the Keweenaw was the birthplace of professional hockey leagues. This was around 1902.

Each summer 3 buddies and myself take our annual "guy's fishing trip".
One of my buddy's parents is friends of the daughter (who is now in her 70's) of the old captain of the mine. Two summers ago, we stayed in the house for a week, fishing the local lakes and streams.
That peak is still full of iron, and one night we had a heck of a thunder storm roll thru. The thunder and lightning we experienced in that old house had me curled up in the fetal position in my bed, just waiting to get blasted to bits!

Chassell, Hanka, Assinins
These small towns have some interesting stores.
Chassell was a lumber mill town. This school operated from 1917 to 1992. It is now a historical museum.
A tourist trap of sorts.
A trip inland to a farmstead.
Herman Hanka got fired from one of the mines after an explosives incident that killed his partner and left him maimed and deaf.
Hanka came here to get away from fuedal servitude on a large industrial farm overseen by the Russian Czar.
After he got canned at the mine, Hanka decided to start a farm on some of the stump lands left over from logging. He put together this farmstead.
These guys would do whatever they needed to in order to survive. They fished and trapped in addition to farming.
For my buddy Askel, who lives nearby.
This once was an orphanage. It is located on an indian reservation.
About half the kids here were indians. The others were here because they were orphaned by tragedy or because their parents could no longer afford to support them and left them here. Times were tough.

The Vein Center of PennsylvaniaRead MoreHelmed by Dr. Nikhilesh Agarwal, The Vein Center of Pennsylvania treats spidery blood-carriers with vein-withering sclerotherapy. The 25-minute visits start with a comprehensive exam to determine whether problematic veins are spider, varicose, or coolant tubes from half-finished cyborg transformations. A battery of sclerotherapy injections tests which chemicals are the safest for fighting veins, before Dr. Agarwal injects the winning solution into doomed veins, causing them to collapse and disappear. Treatments require little to no downtime, allowing patients to quickly return to busy work schedules or constant backyard stakeouts to catch Amelia Earhart stealing the lawn flamingos. This is an introductory offer, complete treatment may require 4 to 6 additional sessions.15 Wyntre Brooke DriveYork, PA US

As they languish in song, as they float in the dance,--

And the comely white cap takes the place of the curls.
"Our Banker" by
Oliver Wendell Holmes
But from the border white and brown,
Where'er I look, there's peeping down
A face… but whose, whose is it?
I bore my gaze 'neath cap and brim
And see the snowflakes swarm and swim;—
Will some one here me visit?
"A Meeting" by
Bjornstjerne Bjornson

The wintry storms forget to rave;
Without,--the white caps and the spray,
Within,--a shore with scarce a wave,--
A favored spot where tempests cease,
And Heaven whispers, "Here is Peace."
"Evening On Lake Como" by
John Lawson Stoddard

I would sing songs of simple things.

"I would have never thought to do that but I felt immediately that I had a very strong connection to the song," Mukul says. "That was the main thing she helped me with, just being natural."
The episode was taped last month at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and Mukul says she felt really good about her performances. The live audience there voted for the singer they liked best and if it's Mukul, she'll advance to the next round against the other city winners. If it's not, there's still a chance for her to advance through an online vote of the runners-up.
Her mother thought she nailed it, but then that's what moms do.
"She just belonged there," Tammy Nadal says. "She was just so beautiful and classy. I felt, 'OK, she's doing the right thing.'"
Mukul says she hopes she wins the whole thing, of course, but even if she doesn't she thinks "The Next" will help her advance her career and her dream.
"I think it will help me get a manager," she says. "I don't want to keep waiting tables and wasting time. So I'll have the ability to say, 'I was on this, I've got a fan base.'
"There are so many talented people in L.A. Now I feel I have a little leg up."

Poland tries to pass harsh sex crime laws, decries Polanski arrest
- By Bobby PierceBobby Pierce is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
Yesterday, award-winning director Roman Polanski was arrested in Zurich for a long-outstanding U.S. warrant. In 1977, Polanski was arrested for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl. He pleaded guilty, and fled the county in 1978 to avoid going to jail. He eventually became a dual citizen of France (which does not extradite) and Poland.
Today, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner called on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to stop the extradition. Kouchner called the arrest "a bit sinister." In these countries, Polanski is widely regarded as an exceptional filmmaker and a victim of the overzealous American justice system. (HBO made a documentary about this dichotomy, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.)
But Sikorski's defense of Polanski comes at an awkward time: Poland is in the process of implementing much-harsher punishments for people who commit sex crimes. Last week, all but three of the 460 members of Poland's lower chamber of parliament voted to punish certain sex offenders with chemical castration. People convicted of raping a person under 15 (the crime Polanski pled guilty to) or a close relative would be given drugs to diminish their libido, under the new law. On top of chemical castration, there are increased penalties for incest and pedophilia. Trying to justify pedophilia would also be criminalized.
Regardless, it seems Polanski might end up serving his time in the United States, ending his 31 years on the lam. While abroad, Polanski has made a number of films — including Tess, which was dedicated to his wife Sharon Tate (who was murdered by the Manson Family) and the Oscar-winning The Pianist, set during the Holocaust. After being forced into the Kraków Ghetto during World War II, Polanski escaped the concentration camps; his mother did not and was killed in Auschwitz. He also made arguably the creepiest movie of all time, The Ninth Gate, starring Johnny Depp as a used book salesman who tries to track down the devil.

South Texas report: A&M-International downs Javelinas men
LAREDO - Texas A&M-International once again bested the Texas A&M-Kingsville men's basketball team in a high-scoring game, claiming a 99-90 nonconference victory Wednesday.
The teams were deadlocked at 81 with 3:36 remaining after a Ronald Scott 3-pointer for the Javelinas (3-6). However, A&M-International's Kevin Jefferson broke the tie with a three of his own as the Dustdevils went on a 16-4 run over the next two minutes to pull away for the victory.
Five Javelinas posted double digits in points, led by Rashad Basey with 25, who has scored 19 or more in four-straight. Ta'Quan McDew finished just two shy of his career-best with 22, while Scott added 15. Ryan Garcia and Irvin Hollinger came off the bench to tally 11 points apiece. Garcia's 11 points by Garcia were his first of the season and were a career-best for the sophomore.
Matthew Culliver Jr. and Vadal Faniel led the Dustdevils with 24 and 23 points, respectively. Culliver went 4 for 5 from 3-point range and added 10 assists. Faniel also had a game-high 15 rebounds
The Javelinas host St. Mary's at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Steinke Center.
Atterberry named SEO's new coach
DURANT, Okla. — Former Texas A&M-Kingsville football coach Bo Atterberry was named the new football coach at his alma mater, Southeastern (Okla.) State.
Atterberry succeeds Ray Richards, who resigned last month after nine total seasons with the Savage Storm. Southeastern was 2-9 in 2013, its fourth consecutive losing season.
Atterberry abruptly resigned after six seasons with the Javelinas a year ago and was hired as SEO's defensive coordinator under Richards. Atterberry was 41-28 with the Javelinas, leading them to two NCAA Division II playoff appearances and the Lone Star Conference title in 2009.
Atterberry was SEO's defensive coordinator from 2004-06 before coming to A&M-Kingsville with Keith Baxter after he was hired as coach. Baxter, ironically, never coached a down for the Javelinas and, now as SEO's athletic director, hired Atterberry.

Customer Reviews of MXL 990/MXL 991 Recording Microphone Package
I produce music for a living and normally write only at my studio. Recently I became interested in having a basic laptop rig for home and I picked up this mic package based on some reviews. When I got them home I had found that they were an excellent value. They're really quite good sounding with lots of detail in the high end. Again, this is considering price- if they were $1,000 for the pair it would be an incredible ripoff. Of course I should state the obvious: These will not sound like a high-end Neumann, Lawson, or Telefunken mic costing many, many, times the price of these mics. That said, they're only $99! I bought two packs and have found they work very nicely in stereo pairs
