Preakness is Cal-bred's to lose as 3-5 morning-line favorite hopes to continue epic dash for destiny
Today: 3 p.m. at Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore | On the air: Ch. 7/39
preakness stakes
BALTIMORE Bob Baffert has won the Preakness Stakes five times, so the Hall of Fame trainer knows a thing or two about how to size up the middle jewel of the Triple Crown.
Baffert conceded Friday what many are saying about this race at soggy Old Hilltop. It's no secret. It's California Chrome's to lose. He's the 3-5 morning-line favorite.
But will California Chrome perform like I'll Have Another and win it, or will he flop like Orb did last year as the 3-5 post-time favorite? Those were the last two Kentucky Derby winners with a chance for the Triple Crown.
"I was looking at my Brisnet numbers, and he's like seven or eight lengths better than all of us," Baffert said of the Art Sherman-trained California Chrome. "Brisnet has it California Chrome, Social Inclusion and General a Rod. I'm supposed to be fifth (with Kaleem Shah's Bayern). California Chrome is a really good horse. If he gets away clean and gets out there for that first 100 yards without any trouble, he wins easy, just like the Derby."
Other trainers in the race echoed Baffert's sentiments. Trainer Graham Motion, who saddled Animal Kingdom to win the 2011 Kentucky Derby, will send out Ring Weekend here. He'll try to become the first gelding to win the Preakness since Funny Cide in 2003.
"I think California Chrome will have to be off his game to lose," Motion said.
Trainer Billy Gowan saddles Ride On Curlin, who finished seventh in the Derby after a troubled trip.
"California Chrome is an awfully nice horse, and he'll be tough to beat," Gowan said. "But I'd like to get a nice, clean trip and be right with him at the top of the stretch and see what happens."
Even though California Chrome — by winning the Derby — answered many of the questions about his modest pedigree, his trainer's inexperience in big races and the fact that he hadn't raced outside California, he still has critics. Some wonder whether jockey Victor Espinoza can keep California Chrome, who will start from the No. 3 post, out of a speed duel with the likes of Baffert's Bayern, Pablo Del Monte and Social Inclusion in the 1 3/16-mile race.
"Don't underestimate our horse's speed," Sherman said. "He has a little gas himself. The one thing you don't want to do is let one of them get out too far and not be able to catch them. But they all better have their runnin' shoes on."
Dynamic Impact, a live long shot at 12-1, is riding a two-race winning streak that includes a victory in the Illinois Derby. But he'll break from the No. 1 post. He's trained by Mark Casse, who announced recently that he plans to bring 30-to-40 horses to Del Mar to race this summer.
"I think there's a lot of speed in there," Casse said. "I hope he is able to sit right behind the speed. But things have to go our way, and he has to save ground and then move out at some point."

Let's talk about how people who have been victimized in life don't have to become victims, how they can use instinct to get beyond the hurt.
I like to say, "One beggar tells another beggar where he found the bread." Our job is to inspire others who are where we have been. That is the power of sharing our story if we dare tell it. It's the power of the story. We share to free another.
My point: Everybody is broken. I have learned that after 38 years in ministry and business. Instinct is what drives us to overcome a limp leg, an emotional wound, the seemingly insurmountable handicap, the dysfunctional family or whatever it is. You don't have to remain a victim just because you were wrongly victimized.
Finally, do we live in a world that suppresses instinct? And if so, how do we get it back?
Yes we do. Most of us are walking around in solitary confinement, or we are locked in a cage of our own making. We suppress our innate instincts and we rely instead on too much data and intellect (like the guide looking for elephants on my African safari) to make important decisions.
Sometimes you need to go with your gut. Life is a series of experiences of birthing opportunities and possibilities. We are constantly coming out of life's trials and our cages.
Our biggest challenge now is that there is a lack of true human connection. We have walked away from one another as people interested in each other's journey. We don't want to work at our relationships anymore — we don't have to do the work — so we just do the cut off.
I want to encourage people to take the risk. Take the leap. Do the work. People are worth it and so are you. When we can get back to truly knowing how to talk to people, love people, and stick with people we intuitively give ourselves permission to love ourselves. And when we love and honor self, we can answer to the instinct inside of us and live it out unto our purpose.

Seven-Day Sun
June 14, 2012
For seven days SDO's HMI instrument watched as a small sunspot group morphed, merged and grew into two large sunspots (Nov. 13-19, 2010) as other sunspots begin to emerge as well. We selected an image about every 15 minutes (approximately 700 frames) to generate the smooth motion seen in this 26-second movie. Sunspots are darker, cooler areas of the solar surface generated by intense magnetic forces that rise up from inside the Sun.

"Written with a beginner audience in mind. Grossman provides an overview of seventeenth-century historical, literary, and cultural shifts, along with short essays on notable early seventeenth-century texts. The Seventeenth-Century Literature Handbook will be of particular interest to teachers of seventeenth-century literature courses, as the text would be appropriate to assign at the undergraduate level."

Ledyard — A Ledyard police officer who learned Monday that he was fired from the police department after being arrested twice is vowing to get his job back.
James Grzesiak, 48, who had been in the department for 19 years, was arrested in October and January. He said the town is rushing to judgment and hasn't given him due process.
Donald Steinhoff, the town's administrator of human resources, said the decision to fire Grzesiak was made following presentation of evidence Friday at a disciplinary hearing.
Grzesiak, he said, left the hearing before he could hear the decision. Grzesiak, however, disputes that claim, saying he was outside Town Hall for 15 minutes after the hearing was closed. He said he intends to file a grievance on the termination.
Steinhoff said a certified letter of termination was then sent by mail, and the letter was delivered Monday by state police.
Steinhoff said he could not provide The Day a copy of the termination letter, saying it was personnel matter and because there are pending grievances and a complaint with the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. He said he anticipates more grievances to be filed as a result of the termination.
Steinhoff said there was a history of disciplinary issues with Grzesiak that were not just limited to the two arrests.
In January, Grzesiak was charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct after he had a fight with his girlfriend's son, Joshua Thibeault, who was also charged with disorderly conduct. Thibeault is scheduled to appear Wednesday in Norwich Superior Court .
At the time, a protective order was issued, and Grzesiak was ordered to turn over his weapons, including his work-issued firearm. He was suspended without pay.
The charges in the domestic incident along with the protective order were dismissed on Thursday.
"How can you take action when the court cases were going through the process of the legal system?" Grzesiak said. "I was innocent of the charges and acted out of self defense."
At the hearing Friday he expressed a desire to return to work now that the charges were dismissed and he was able to possess firearms since the protective order was lifted.
Grzesiak was arrested in October for disorderly conduct after police said he sent an email to his former landlord in Ledyard that made a threatening reference about the caretaker of his property.
Grzesiak said he could not comment on the case because it is pending.
For the October incident, Grzesiak said he was suspended for 30 days without pay and filed a grievance, which is pending.
Grzesiak said he had to talk to his union representative before showing The Day his termination letter. He said the letter stated several reasons for his firing, including conduct unbecoming an officer, uncivil conduct, engaging in domestic violence, that he was unable to carry his service weapon and that he was not forthcoming with state police on how many firearms were in the home when police responded to the domestic incident.
It was not clear if the letter stated additional reasons for the termination.
"I feel that I'm being treated like I'm guilty until I prove that I'm innocent," Grzesiak said. "It's my life. All I ever wanted to do since growing up is be a cop."

Juicer to the Stars beats Candida and loses 20 pounds by flooding his body with iZO Juice nutrients--detoxifying the bowels, liver, gall bladder, kidney and blood to reach ultimate goal of sublime health
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Tim Martin, Celebrity Juicer and CEO/Founder of iZO Cleanze, a comprehensive full-body detox program designed to flood the body with nutrients while ridding it of toxins, reaches the halfway point of his 100 day journey tomorrow on a mission to restore and transform his overall health. With lack of solid food, Tim has nourished his organs on a daily basis with freshly made, 100% organic, vegan, raw and gluten-free juices, teas and cleansing elixirs, that have ultimately beat his Candida, rid him of Rosacea, given him restored energy, lowered his cholesterol and allowed him to lose 20 pounds.
Before the start of his 100 day cleanse, Tim's live blood analysis was abysmal with red blood cells clumped together due to lack of hydration while thin and transparent due to excess glucose. His abundance of white blood cells indicated an immune system response, there was a decent layer of Mucoid plaque in his large intestines and his Candida was prominently apparent. After just 20 days of the cleanse, Tim's blood was drastically more hydrated, his red blood cells were less clumped, there was a healthy spattering of white blood cells and absolutely no sign of Candida.
"The iZO Cleanze works to restore conditions that the body needs in order to heal, regenerate and rejuvenate itself through nutrition and detoxification of the body," says Dr. Alejandro Junger, MD, whose patients include Gwyneth Paltrow and Donna Karan.
"Our bodies are so often effected by our busy lives, not to mention the multitude of toxic substances and environmental pollutants in the air," said CEO Tim Martin. "Going into this 100 day cleanse, I was looking to catch up on flushing out the toxin

Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 1. Introduction The SIP Events framework [RFC3265] describes subscription and notification conventions for the SIP [RFC3261] protocol. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) [W3C.REC-xml-20060816] Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP) [RFC4825] allows a client to read, write and modify XML formatted application usage data in an XCAP server. While XCAP allows several authorized users or devices to modify the same XML document, XCAP does not provide an effective synchronization mechanism (except polling) to keep resources equivalent between the server and the client. This memo defines an "xcap-diff" event package that, together with the SIP event notification framework [RFC3265] and the XCAP-diff format [I-D.ietf-simple-xcap-diff], allows a user to subscribe to changes in an XML document, and to receive notifications whenever a change in an XML document takes place. It is also possible to subscribe to documents within some collection, the notifier provides those documents where the user has read privilege. Before being able to apply any patches into documents, a client needs to first retrieve initial reference documents. With XCAP, this is done with the HTTP [RFC2616] protocol. The first "xcap-diff" notification thus contains references to subscribed documents, thereafter notifications MAY contain patches to these documents. Optionally some clients MAY want to retrieve only specific element or attribute content from these XCAP documents. All this information can be transformed with the XCAP-Diff [I-D.ietf-simple-xcap-diff] format. 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119, BCP 14 [RFC2119] and indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations. 3. Definitions The following terms are used in this document: Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 XCAP Component: An XML element or an attribute, which can be updated with the XCAP protocol. Aggregating: While XCAP clients update only single XCAP components at a time, several of these modifications can be aggregated together with the XML-Patch-Ops semantics. 4. XCAP-Diff Event Package 4.1. XCAP-Diff Processing When a client starts the "xcap-diff" subscription they may not be aware of all the XCAP resources they are subscribing to. This may for instance happen when the user subscribes to his/her collection [RFC4918] of a given XCAP Application Usage. The initial notification will then contain references to documents the user is authorized to read. After receiving these documents and resolving the initial synchronization stage, the subsequent notifications MAY contain patches to these documents. While the initial document synchronization is based on separate HTTP retrievals of full documents, XML elements or attributes may be received "in-band", that is within the <xcap-diff> notification format. For example, the subscribed element has different semantics than XML-Patch-Ops [I-D.ietf-simple-xml-patch-ops] elements, because the intent is just to get the content of an element without the need of a separate HTTP GET request. If during the initial subscription stage the requested node can not be found, there is not any need for a result element or an attribute either. Once they will be created, the notify will contain their content. And similarly, their removals will be reported, for example after a successful HTTP DELETE request. In another usage scenario, a subscriber to the "xcap-diff" event might not need XML-Patch operations at all. Indeed, the subscriber just wants to be informed that an update has happened, but the subscriber is not interested in learning the actual changes in the document(s). The XCAP-Diff [I-D.ietf-simple-xcap-diff] format will then only indicate document creations, updates and removals. 4.2. Event Package Name The name of this event package is "xcap-diff". This package name is carried in the Event and Allow-Events header, as defined in RFC3265 [RFC3265]. Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 4.3. 'diff-processing' Event Package Parameter The optional "diff-processing" parameter will tell the notifier how to apply the "XML diffing process". The possible values are "no- patching", "xcap-patching", "aggregate". The "no-patching" value means that only document or XCAP component existences MUST be indicated. The "xcap-patching" value means that all individual XCAP component updates with entity tag (ETag) changes MUST be indicated. The "aggregate" value means that the notifier is free to aggregate several individual XCAP component updates into a single XCAP-Diff <document> element. If the subscription does not contain this additional "diff-processing" parameter, the notifier MUST send all individual changes so that the client receives the full ETag change history of a document. In other words, "xcap-patching" is the default mode. The formal grammar (RFC4234 [RFC4234]) of the "diff-processing" parameter: diff-processing = "diff-processing" EQUALS "aggregate" / "no-patching" / "xcap-patching" / token 4.4. SUBSCRIBE Bodies When generating the subscribe request, the subscriber needs to define the resources it is interested in getting information. This can be done simply by sending a URI list to the SIP notifier. This list can be described with the XCAP resource list [RFC4826] document format. Only a simple subset of that format is needed here, i.e. a flat list of XCAP URIs. The usage of hierarchical lists and <entry> references, etc. can thus be discarded. However, using this format allows adding some future semantics to these subscriptions. Also it is anticipated that the XCAP server will be collocated with the SIP notifier so relative XCAP URIs MAY be used. Note that although the node-selector of XCAP allows requesting all in-scope namespaces of an element, it is disallowed to subscribe to them with this package. Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 Figure 1 shows an example to a subscription of several XCAP resources: a "resource-list" document, a specific element in a "rls- services" document and a collection in "pidf-manipulation" Application Usage. For all of these resources the client MUST have read privilege in order to actually receive them in a NOTIFY request. The "Content-Type" header of this SUBSCRIBE request is "application/ resource-lists+xml". <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <resource-lists xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:resource-lists"> <list> <entry uri="resource-lists/users/sip:email@example.com/index"/> <entry uri="rls-services/users/sip:firstname.lastname@example.com/index/ ~~/*/service%5b@uri='sip:email@example.com'%5d"/> <entry uri="pidf-manipulation/"/> </list> </resource-lists> Figure 1: Example subscription body Note that when collections are being selected as "pidf-manipulation" in the example, the conventions applied follow the WebDAV [RFC4918] semantics, that is, the subscriber MUST add the forward slash "/" character to the end of the path segment. 4.5. Subscription Duration The default expiration time for subscriptions within this package is 3600 seconds. As per RFC 3265 [RFC3265], the subscriber MAY specify an alternative expiration timer in the Expires header field. 4.6. NOTIFY Bodies The NOTIFY bodies will follow the conventions of the XCAP-Diff format [I-D.ietf-simple-xcap-diff]. 4.7. Notifier Generation of NOTIFY Requests During the initial subscription the notifier must first resolve the requested XCAP resources. Once there are superfluous resource selections in the requested URI list, the notifier SHOULD not provide overlapping similar responses for these resources. Only the resources where the authenticated user has read privilege will be included in the XCAP-Diff format. Note that for example, an XCAP component which could not be located with XCAP semantics, does not produce an error. Instead, the request remains in "pending" state, Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 that is, waiting for this resource to be created. Subscriptions to collections have a similar property: once a new document is created into the subscribed collection, the creation of a new resource is notified with the next NOTIFY request. After the authorized XCAP resources are known, the notifier will generate the first full response with the list of found and authorized resources. At this time depending on the "diff-processing" parameter, the notifier typically starts also the follow-up of XCAP component updates and unless otherwise directed, it reports all individual XCAP component updates with ETag changes to the subscriber. If the notifier process receives then a re-subscription with the diff-processing=aggregate value it MUST re-send the current full XML-Diff content unless the request or body can be suppressed with the SubNot-Etags [I-D.ietf-sip-subnot-etags] semantics by using e.g. the header Suppress-Notify-If-Match: xxxx. The notifier SHOULD then start to aggregate "diff-processing". It MAY happen in some corner cases that the notifier can not or will not provide patches with the XML-Patch-Ops [I-D.ietf-simple-xml-patch-ops] semantics. One example of this is when the diff format produces a larger content than the original document is. When this happens, and if the server has been in this diff "aggregation" mode, it MUST fall back to the "xcap-patching" mode for this particular resource. It should be noted that the whole diff-processing is truly implementation specific and in essence, also OPTIONAL. If the server so desires, it MAY elect not to produce XML-diffing at all although it is RECOMMENDED to implement it. Support for XCAP component subscriptions is mandatory in the server, however. Note that if for example, the subscriber has selected too many elements to subscribe, so that the notification body becomes impractically large, the notifier MAY discard the element content. The existence of elements is indicated with an empty element but the content is not shown for those resources. Event packages like this require in practice a reliable transfer of events. This means that all events MUST be successfully transfered as otherwise patching will most likely fail or at least the document content becomes to be different. RFC 3265 [RFC3265] proposes utilization of a "version" attribute information to state deltas in chapter 4.4. Partial-PIDF-Notify [I-D.ietf-simple-partial-notify] requires that notifiers will not send a new request to the same dialog unless a successful response (200 OK) has been received for the last request. The latter applies also to this "xcap-diff" event package. If the NOTIFY request fails due to a timeout condition, the notifier MUST remove the subscription. Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 4.8. Subscriber Processing of NOTIFY Requests The first NOTIFY request will typically contain references to HTTP resources including their strong ETag values. If the subscriber does not have similar locally cached versions, it will start an unconditional HTTP GET request for those resources. During this HTTP retrieval time it MAY also receive patches to these documents (notifications) if they are changing frequently. So it MAY happen that the subscriber receives newer versions (with HTTP) than what was indicated in the initial notification. However, once all atomic XCAP modifications are indicated with both previous and new ETags of each resource, it is easy to chain the modification list for a document and possibly omit some of the patches based on the received ETag (with HTTP) of a document. After that the subscriber MAY send a re- subscription to start the diff "aggregation" on the server. The subscriber can use CSeq values to keep track of possible missing requests. These values can be used to detect missing events also if there are no multiple usages in the current "xcap-diff" dialog. The event bodies, i.e. failing patches and especially the consistent ETag value changes MAY also be used to detect possible missing events. Once the client detects an error it MUST renew the subscription. If a diff format can not be applied because of some patching errors, look Section 5.1 of [I-D.ietf-simple-xml-patch-ops], the subscriber SHOULD fall back to not to enable any patching within the subscription. It is hardly reasonable to signal this error to the notifier even if the error exists in the notifier process. 4.9. Handling of Forked Requests This specification only allows a single dialog to be constructed as a result of emitting an initial SUBSCRIBE request. In case a SUBSCRIBE request is forked and the subscriber receives forked responses, the subscriber MUST apply the procedures indicated in Section 4.4.9 of RFC 3265 [RFC3265] for handling non-allowed forked requests. 4.10. Rate of Notifications Notifiers of "xcap-diff" event package SHOULD NOT generate notifications for a single user at a rate of more than once every five seconds. 4.11. State Agents State agents play no role in this package. Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 5. An Initial Example NOTIFY document Figure 2 shows an example initial XCAP-Diff document provided by the first NOTIFY request. The subscriber used the list as in the example in Figure 1. An example event header of this SUBSCRIBE request: Event: xcap-diff; diff-processing=aggregate The subscriber requests the notifier to actually "aggregate" XCAP component updates together. It is anticipated that the subsequent notifications would contain aggregated patches to these documents. Note: If these documents are changing frequently during the initial synchronization stage, it may happen that the subscriber can not synchronize the contents of all documents properly. However, the subscriber can always begin with the default "xcap- patching" mode where all individual changes with the full ETag change history are shown and this issue does not occur. Also a future extension to XCAP specification MAY solve this versioning issue in a better way. Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 9]

The <services> element existed within the rls-services "index" document and its content was shown. 6. IANA Considerations This memo calls for IANA to: o register a new package name per [RFC3265]. Urpalainen Expires May 19, 2008 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft xcap diff event November 2007 6.1. Registration of the "xcap-diff" Event Package This specification instructs IANA to register an event package in the SIP Event Types Namespace, based on the registration procedures defined in RFC 3265 [RFC3265]. The following is the information required for such a registration: Package Name: xcap-diff Package or Template-Package: This is a package. Published Document: RFCXXXX Person to Contact: Jari Urpalainen, email@example.com 7. Security Considerations This document defines a new SIP event package for the SIP event notification framework specified in RFC 3265 [RFC3265]. As such, all the Security considerations of RFC 3265 [RFC3265] apply. The configuration data can contain sensitive information, and both the client and the server need to authenticate each other. XCAP provides basic authorization policy for resources. Notifiers and subscribers MAY use S/MIME feature to provide authentication and message integrity. This is described in Section 23 of RFC 3261 [RFC3261]. 8.

Tyler the Creator
Exclusive: Play Tyler, the Creator Bingo!
As we discussed yesterday, for all that Tyler, the Creator's new album Wolf is a listening experience that's alternately intriguing and infuriating, it must be said that it's largely the latter. So, if you're going to listen to the record, we suggest that you do so with the aid of our exclusive Tyler, the Creator bingo card. Tick off his repeated lyrical tropes and eventually you'll win… well, nothing, really, but it's fun anyway. You may notice something of a theme across the card — but hey, we didn't have to include a rape square this time around, so that's progress, right? … Read More
Why Do We Still Care About Tyler, the Creator?
Really, what is there to say about a Tyler, the Creator album in 2013? Wolf is out tomorrow, and you've probably already made your mind up about it, whether you've heard it or not. For his part, Tyler claims he doesn't care what reviewers have to say, and neither do his oh-so-charming fans. This is a record that exists as a fait accompli, the creation of someone who's done a prize job of trolling the music industry for the best part of three years, whose entire career consists of professionally Not Giving A Fuck. … Read More

Tracy Morgan and Tyler, The Creator: How to Get Away with Homophobia
Regular readers will know that we're not exactly big fans of Tyler, The Creator and his "Ur All Faggots" shtick. But even so, we can't help noticing the contrast between a couple of stories that have emerged over the last couple of days — one involving Tyler and another involving 30 Rock's Tracy Morgan. As has been well-documented, Morgan's mouth got him into hot water back in June, when he said that if his son announced he was gay, Morgan would "pull out a knife and stab that little nigga to death." Anyway, this week it was reported that the whole sorry business might be written into the script of the next season of 30 Rock, because, y'know, it's hilarious, right? Tyler, meanwhile, has drawn continued condemnation, this time from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation after his victory at the VMAs: "Given Tyler's history of [homophobic and misogynistic] remarks, viewers and potential sponsors should refrain from honoring homophobia and in the future look to a more deserving artist." … Read More
Why Tyler, The Creator Needs to Grow Up
"I have gay fans," Tyler, the Creator told MTV earlier this week. "They don't really take it offensive, so I don't know. If it offends you, it offends you." This was his latest response to the accusations of homophobia that have dogged him over his short career, accusations largely catalysed by his persistent and casual use of the word "faggot" in his rhymes and his Tweets. "If you call me a nigger," he continued, "I really don't care, but that's just me, personally. Some people might take it the other way; I personally don't give a shit." The implication: they're just words. But here's the thing. Words are precious, powerful things. We dismiss and devalue them at our peril. And Tyler, the Creator needs to a) grow up and b) think about what he says. … Read More

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is the first UK venue to host Hatching the Past: Dinosaur Eggs and Babies, a touring exhibition from New Zealand.
The exhibition provides a rare and exciting look at the life of dinosaurs through their eggs, nests, embryos and young, with some real specimens collected from across the world. Each major plant and meat-eating dinosaur group is represented in the travelling exhibition, which will be on display at Kelvingrove until 16 August 2015.
Discover more about dinosaur family life, including how they raised their young and learn how important the study of dinosaur eggs has been in understanding these captivating creatures. Dinosaur eggs were first identified in the 1920s, although it was many years before their significance was fully understood. Nowadays specialists appreciate the huge scientific value eggs offer in learning more about the behaviour, growth and evolution of dinosaurs.
There are also several real dinosaur objects on loan from The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow, including an egg and egg fragments from China and the Gobi Desert. As well as a crocodile skull from the Middle Jurassic period, around 170 million years ago and a cast of dinosaur footprints, together with a tooth and tailbone found on the Isle of Skye.
A fun and interesting programme of activities will be available as part of the exhibition - more information will be available here soon.
Adult - £5/£3
Age 5-15 years - £2
Under 5s go free
A family ticket is also available at £10 for 2 adults and 2 children.
You can buy tickets from the Museum Shop or online at the link below.
Please note: Advance tickets are not available to buy for the opening weekend. We are expecting this weekend to be very busy and tickets are only available to buy on the day between 3-6 April. A queuing system may be in operation at particularly busy times.
From 7 April, advance tickets will be available from the Kelvingrove Shop as normal, for visiting on any date from then on.

Buying Land...National Forest?
Any thoughts on buying an established "ranch" WITHIN (completely surrounded by) National Forest? Or...for that matter, land that borders "public land"/National Forest, etc?
Sure...it's appealing to know that the bordering land won't be developed, but what kind of scenarios might go down if SHTF?
Personally, I think it is nearly ideal. I think your biggest issue will be hunters coming onto your land more often than if you only bordered USFS land. However, if you are able to fence it off and post signs, then it will be less of an issue. Issue won't go away, but it will be less.
As far as STHF ... I don't think it will make any difference whether you are in the middle of USFS land or not. People are going to ignore boundaries either way.
I think it is a good move.

But this is only the case because all of my other neighbors are bugged in. The State forest is the weakest link only because my neighbors are awesome. In any other situation, the scenario would be reversed.
My biggest security concern with the state forest pre-SHTF is that hunters might cross the line and I don't trust the idiots who hunt around here not to shoot innocent passers-by like my children. Post-SHTF, my concern would be the number of people who grab their BOB's and want to play Rambo in the state forest and stumble across a house with gardens, orchards, fresh water, electricity, heat, etc...

We plan for it to be a self sustainable "bugged in" location...where we grow enough to sell at the local farmers markets. I have flip flopped back and forth on this. Be a little closer to town and more exposed but have a bit more of an open "organic farm" business or hunker down real nice and secluded and export our produce to local markets?
Two out of three places for sale in Colorado under contract...I better figure this out sooner or later to get my criteria straight for the land hunt.
I wouldn't trade this place for the world!
Sounds great...is that a state or federal law?
After owning, and then selling a parcel completely suurounded by US Forest land, I'd rather own a parcel completely surrounded by good neighbors. All during the year the public lands bordering our land was open to all types of users. We were ripped off a number of times, fences were cut, and constant noise from off road toys which finally convinced us to look elsewhere.
Being surrounded by private lands adds an additional layer of security before folks can get to your place. And, if you spend the time to develop a good relationship with them they will usually give you access to their lands.

Baiting laws are Federal wildlife protection laws.
Especially for the Many new people, here are many pics of my BOL - survival retreat > http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=84562
Which is surrounded by the million plus acre Medicine Bow national forest. There is also a few hundred acres of private land mixed throughout but two sides of my land border the national forest. Look at my homepage or the link above and my other long pic threads for Much more info if any are interested.
Security is the least of my concerns for it is very remote, rugged and covered in snow about 8 months of the year. But I still think it is an excellent survival retreat location with abundant wood, water and wildlife. There is also some land for sale across the road from my place.
Here baiting is very common.
We have no National Forests around here, most properties are owned by non-resident owners. Families who have a cabin on the land. Some may visit their cabin a few times a year, others may go years at a time without visiting.
Most local families 'hunt' and keep their freezers filled with game meat. Locals bait on their own land, and shoot game from their porch.
It is hunters from away who tromp through the forests here. Rarely are they knowledgeable of property boundaries, are whose land they are on.

The Feds want the private land owners OUT! The land holders just want to be left alone. Federal retaliation is non-stop in their endeavor to "recapture" contiguous land holdings themselves. Taxes on the private lands have been going up exponentially lately (what a surprise that the feds would sic the tax whores on the private folks).
The best example I'm aware of on this topic is the Stehekin area, at the North end of Lake Chelan. Only accessible by trail or boat, the Forest Service and locals are continually fighting a well documented battle over land rights issues. The forest service, by the way, is the "newcomer", but that should surprise no one.
Check out local rules & regs but, in a lot of cases (pre-SHTF) the state and/or Fed will provide subsidies to keep your adjacent property forested (never mind if you put some spruce in and call it a "christmas tree" farm; THAT is a boondoggle of epic proportions)...I have a friend who makes his land payment from all the subsidy money for his farm adjacent to a national park... worth looking at while you are shopping...until TSHTF let Uncle Sugar pay the mortgage, afterwards what diff does it make anyway...???
Howdy, new guy here. I know it's an old thread, but I had to comment. I own 50+ acres mostly surrounded by national forest, and I love it. Luckily here there is very little access and usage. Hunters do tend to wander, but I have found in the past years that it's not hard to deter them from hunting the forest land around me. Keeping them off my place hasn't been too hard either. Some stern first words with pistol at hip seems to work. It's great to be able to wander and have so much more land right at your doorstep. I wouldn't sell my place for any amount of money. I think the main things to consider when owning a piece of land next to a public forest is the local crowd, the amount of usage on that land and the access. There is a lot of land next to national forest here locally that I wouldn't want to own. Every piece of land has its pros and cons. Know the area and what you're getting into.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Bayou woods guy For This Useful Post:
It's ironic but around here (an area of a patchwork of private lands and national forest lands in the Southern Appalachians) hunters are becoming very vocal, rude, threatening and militant about entering upon private lands within the national forests. It seems to be an attempt to intimidate or scare the private landowners (particularly little 80 year old widows) into simply giving their land to the national forests.
The hunters scream that: "My bear dogs can't read signs!" There's a lot of letters back and forth in the local paper each hunting season.
My lots backyard in AK is the Chugach National forest!
I heard about this but dont know how true its or if its even real. You cant buy national forest land but you can trade other land for it, so if you bought dessert acreage for $100/ acre you can trade that for national forest acreage that would run on open market for $10k/ acre. Sounds f-ed up, I looked into it but couldnt find much on it.
|The Following User Says Thank You to VonGhent For This Useful Post:
And oh yeah, when SHTF, people will definitely be heading away from urban areas to national forest where they can escape and "live off the land" and looters will look for isolated rural homesteads that are known for having supplies. Rural communities will be reborn, and locals will depend on one another like they did in the past before Wal-Mart. I think that when SHTF, the further you are away from urban areas, the better. Desperate people will still show up at your doorstep regardless, though.
Knowing a little about the USFS, they will "swap" land with people for some parcels of land. Making a lot of money off the deal...doubtful. They swap based on land and timber value.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle rendering – Click above for high-res image gallery
Time keeps on slippin' into the future, and cars keep on gettin' bigger. The Volkswagen New Beetle was shown at the LA Auto Show in various Final Edition guises, and the second word on the next edition is that it will be built on the Jetta platform. The first word was that Volkswagen wants the bubbleback's next design to be more masculine, which probably means – and this is just a guess – you can kiss that flower vase goodbye.

RIDGWAY – The Elk County Solid Waste Authority is currently gearing up for the Pick it Up PA campaign set to run from April 21 to May 6 this year.
The campaign is part of the Great American Cleanup which began in Pennsylvania in 2004 and has since seen nearly 5,000 special events and over 130,000 volunteers who have collected 6.2 million pounds of trash and recyclable materials.
Pick it Up PA events are sponsored through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association.
Michael Hager of Leo, Ind. is enjoying his second Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous.
Hager, whose carving station is located along Center Street behind the Elk County Prison, is a relative newcomer to the art form.
"I bought a book years ago, read it and thought I'd give this a try," he said. "It was probably four years ago and I've always been in the construction business."
Janice I. Rodgers Kalicky, 57 of Girard, died unexpectedly on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2014 at her home of natural causes.
She was born on Oct. 21, 1956 in New Castle, a daughter of Donna J. Sickafuse Rodgers and the late J. Stewart Rodgers.
Several members of St. Marys City Council have shown interest in potentially having a new study conducted regarding the city. The study would focus on various aspects related to finances, management and implementation.
Councilman Gary Anderson said he recently reviewed Bradford's report done by Delta Development Ground, Inc. under the Pa. Early Intervention Program (EIP) for analysis of its city's financial condition which he said provides a good base when reviewing wage, expenditures and more.
RIDGWAY – The Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous, and the chainsaw carving art form itself has evolved over the years.
Many of the carvers convening in downtown Ridgway were once humble beginners, creating mushrooms and bears from random logs. The mantra of late, however, seems to be "Go big or go home," as carvers continuously try to get better and better, and take on projects of seemingly epic proportions.
A prime example is Scott Dow, owner of Animalistic Chainsaw Carving Studio along U.S. Route 6 in Corry.
During their regular meeting for the month of February, the Elk County Conservation District further discussed upcoming increases for the dirt and gravel roads portion of the state's recently-passed transportation bill.
The program has increased funding sevenfold with Pennsylvania municipalities set to receive $28 million in 2015 as opposed to the $4 million received in 2014.
The county received its allotted funding for fiscal year 2014 on Monday, with $25,000 in the pot for registered municipalities to use on dirt and gravel roads.
Former St. Marys Area wrestling coach Wayne Fordoski was one of seven individuals inducted into the District 9 Wrestling Hall of Fame on Saturday night, during a ceremony held prior to the AA and AAA finals at the District 4/9 Wrestling Championships at Clarion University.
Each year, the District 9 Chapter of the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association (PWCA) recognizes inductees for their "outstanding achievements and contributions as wrestlers, coaches, and contributors to the sport of wrestling."
Theodore Lindenmuth, 76, of Ridgway, died Sunday, Feb. 23, 2014 at Penn Highlands Elk in St. Marys.
He was born Aug. 18, 1937 in Bigler Township, son of the late George W. and Catherine McDermott Lindenmuth.
His wife, Evelyn Edelfraud Schaffler Lindenmuth, who was originally from Augsburg, Germany, survives.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1957 to 1969, and was a Vietnam era veteran. He was stationed abroad in Korea, Lebanon, and Germany, where he met his wife.
John A. Jeselnick, age 64, a resident of Naperville, Ill. since 1979, formerly of St. Marys, died Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014 at Edward Hospital in Naperville, Ill.
He was born March 9, 1949 in St. Marys.
John grew up in St. Marys as an altar boy, Eagle Scout, lifeguard, athlete and 1967 graduate of Elk County Christian High School. He received his undergraduate degree in engineering from Penn State University in State College, and his master's degree in industrial administration from Purdue University in Lafayette, Ind.
Recruitment and retention continues to plague fire departments throughout the U.S. including the St. Marys Crystal Fire Department.
Fire Chief Bill Kraus reported this challenge along with overhauls he believes need to be made in training requirements during a recent St. Marys City Council meeting.
While the number of volunteer firefighters is declining, the age of volunteer firefighters is increasing. This is evident as the average age of CFD firefighters ranges from 40 to 50 years old, proving a need to recruit younger members.
