Razoreye01-13-2007, 21:22Just share your snaring stories if you have any. I'm kinda of curious to try snares on small game. (To test out survival techniques.) Pictures more than welcomed! noway01-14-2007, 11:38I've used victor 1 1/2 leg hold snare swith poor to fair results. Caught a few coons and mainly possums using cat food or tuna for bait. I've built some man made snares for squirrels using the Army Ranger FM survival manual with zero results. It's a challenging feat and if I had to rely on the food I caught with my snares I would .....pretty much die ;) tyger00601-15-2007, 14:34I have used snares on rabbits with good success and deadfall traps on squirrels and rodents, etc with good results. I think that the main thing is to have lots of traps out in an effort of evening the odds. There are of course always the little things that make all the difference, a very few of wich I know, and many others that I think can only be learned through practice. --just my .02--tyger Razoreye01-15-2007, 19:45:supergrin: vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

As not-for-profit depository institutions, credit unions were created to serve members as credit cooperatives.
In the United States, credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members rather than to maximize corporate profits.
Once you select a specific credit union, you can view more details about that credit union, including contact information, branch locations, services offered, and recent financial statements.
Anybody can join a credit union. Each credit union serves what's called their "field of membership" – that's the commonality between the members.
If your group is eligible, NCUA's staff will assist you with preparing an application for a charter and see that your group receives guidance in getting your federal credit union started.
Because credit unions are not-for-profit financial institutions, their focus is serving the financial needs of their members and not making a profit.
In general, credit unions offer higher savings rates, meaning that your money grows faster, and lower rates on loans, meaning that you will owe less over the lifetime of the loan.
NCUA makes financial information about credit unions available to the public through Financial Performance Reports (FPRs).
Credit unions provide valuable access to financial services for people underserved and unserved by traditional financial institutions.
Federally-chartered credit unions are regulated by the National Credit Union Administration and insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
A federal credit union is a cooperative financial institution chartered by the federal government and owned by individual members.
It's a good idea to monitor your credit report on a regular basis to make sure that the information is accurate. You can also verify that no one has stolen your identity to make fraudulent charges.
Federally insured credit unions offer a safe place for you to save your money, with deposits insured up to $250,000, per individual depositor.
When performing transactions on your credit union's website, it's wise to make sure that the website is legitimate and that your deposits are federally insured.
If you believe that someone has stolen your identity, you should contact any credit union, bank or creditor where you have an account that you think may be the subject of identity theft.
NCUA reports on frauds and scams aimed at credit union members. In this section, we provide an overview of recent activity.
Credit unions offer young adults desirable, affordable financial services, as well as the advantage of personal service developed to help them grow their savings. Many credit unions offer services within schools or have student-run branches.
Learn about the history of money, different currencies used around the world, the power of dividends and how to be smart about preparing for your financial future with Pocket Cents from NCUA.
Federal privacy laws give you the right to stop (opt out of) some sharing of your personal financial information. The law permits your financial companies to share certain information about you without giving you the right to opt out.
Find out more about a college's affordability and value so you can make more informed decisions about which college to attend.
You can adjust variables, including number of payments, principal, and interest rate, to determine your monthly payment.
The following links to government websites may be helpful as you investigate the financial tools available to you.
Compare the monthly payments and the amount of equity you will build in your home for several kinds of fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.
This worksheet will help you understand where you can be flexible each month.
The Social Security Administration's Retirement Estimator calculator will provide estimates based on your actual Social Security earnings record.
The Electronic Share Insurance Estimator helps credit union members calculate their coverage under National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
Bill payer services, or debt consolidation services, can help consumers preserve their credit scores by merging debts and establishing a workable schedule to pay down money owed to creditors through a single monthly payment.
It's important to know how to make a smart deal. Your credit union can discuss car loan options with you.
Read your statement carefully for information about how long it would take to pay off your account balance if you only pay the minimum payment. It can take years, even decades, to pay it off.
Once you are ready to buy a home, consult your credit union about competitive interest rates and to find out about your mortgage options, including the term of the loan and the conditions.
NCUA encourages credit unions to work constructively with residential mortgage borrowers who may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations.
Between longer life expectancies and fewer employers offering traditional pension plans, it's a good idea to take an active role in planning for retirement.
Whether you are saving for your own education or for your children's, it's wise to start planning for college as soon as possible.
Payday loans (a.k.a. deferred advance loans, cash advance loans, check advance loans, post-dated check loans, or deferred deposit check loans) are loans borrowers promise to repay from their next paycheck or salary deposit.
Have you ever thought about why money is worth anything? It's just paper and ink, or a small piece of stamped metal. To do a lot of things we need to use money. Money can give you choices and independence.

You may be thinking about your first checking or savings account, your first job, or even your first car. Soon, you will have the opportunity to pursue your dreams. You could go to college, launch your career, or start a business. No matter what you decide, you will need money to make it happen.
It's never too early to learn smart financial habits.

In this section, you will not only learn how to prepare financially for life after high school, but also how to avoid scams and common money mistakes.
Are you prepared to make wise and informed financial decisions? Do you know how to recognize predatory credit offers? Can you balance a checkbook? Do you have a savings plan?
Smart financial choices you make today could help you can achieve that new car purchase, or sail through an apartment lease or mortgage application. However, money mistakes when you're just starting out can leave you in debt and ruin your credit score.
Learn how to live within a budget, handle credit and debt, and build a solid financial foundation for your future.
How do you teach kids about money? It may be as simple as talking about your job, taking a trip to the grocery store, or opening a savings account at a credit union to deposit allowance and birthday money.

Additionally, learn about free financial resources, benefits, and special protections offered by the U.S. government for servicemembers and their families.
Federally insured credit unions offer a safe place for you to save your money, with deposits insured up to $250,000 per individual depositor. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is the independent agency that administers the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). Like the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund, the NCUSIF is a federal insurance fund backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
The NCUSIF insures member savings in federally insured credit unions, which account for about 98 percent of all credit unions in the United States. Deposits at all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state-chartered credit unions are covered by NCUSIF protection.
All federally insured credit unions must prominently display the official NCUA insurance sign at each teller station and where insured account deposits are normally received in their principal place of business and in all branches. Federally insured credit unions are also required to display the official sign on their Internet page, if any, where they accept deposits or opens accounts. No credit union may end its federal insurance without first notifying members.
NCUA's Internet site provides a directory of federally insured credit unions.
On July 22, 2010, Congress permanently increased NCUA's standard maximum share insurance coverage to $250,000.
As a member of a federally insured credit union, you do not pay directly for your share insurance protection. Your credit union places a deposit into the NCUSIF and pays an insurance assessment based on the total amount of insured shares and deposits in the credit union.
NCUA share insurance covers all types of deposits received at a federally insured credit union, including deposits in a share draft account, share savings account, or time deposit such as a share certificate. NCUA insurance covers members' accounts at each federally insured credit union, dollar-for-dollar, including principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured credit union's closing, up to the insurance limit. This coverage also applies to nonmember deposits when permitted.
NCUA does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities, even if these nondeposit investment or insurance products are sold at a federally insured credit union. Credit unions often provide these services to its members through third-parties. The nondeposit investment and insurance products offered by third parties are not insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). In locations where nondeposit investment and insurance products are recommended or sold to members, credit unions are required to disclose that the products:
In addition, NCUA does not insure safe deposit boxes or their contents. NCUA does not insure U.S. Treasury bills, bonds or notes, but these investments are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
Share accounts in federally insured credit unions are insured up to $250,000. A depositor who has multiple deposits may qualify for more than $250,000 in share insurance coverage if the customer's accounts are of different legal ownership and the requirements for each type of legal ownership are met.
For example, if you have a regular share account in your name alone and an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) at the same federally insured credit union, the regular share account is insured up to $250,000, and the IRA is separately insured up to $250,000. However, if you have a regular share account, a share certificate, and a share draft account in your name alone, those accounts would be added together and insured up to $250,000.
A member's interests in all joint accounts in the same federally insured credit union will be added together and insured up to $250,000. Roth IRAs will be added together with traditional IRAs and insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per federally insured credit union.
Additional coverage is also available on revocable trust accounts, often referred to as payable on death accounts or living trust accounts. The funds in revocable trusts are insured for each owner up to $250,000 for each beneficiary. The beneficiary must be a natural person, charitable organization, or non-profit entity under the Internal Revenue Code. This coverage is separate from and in addition to the coverage available for accounts within other ownership categories.
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, formerly education IRAs, are insured as irrevocable trust accounts.

A chicken burger (I would never call it a chicken sandwich--that would require bread instead of a bun) is usually breast if at a restaurant, and usually breaded deep-fried patty at fast food.

However, the way that a deep-fried chicken patty is made is different than a beef patty. To me, a beef burger is ground/minced beef molded into a patty shape. A turkey burger would be the same. A chicken burger is not molded minced chicken; it's more the consistency of a large McDonald's chicken nugget.

Side note: While studying in England, I discovered a lot of minced chicken in things like spaghetti sauce. I was surprised -- I can't recall EVER having minced chicken in Canada. Beef, absolutely. Lamb, maybe. Turkey is certainly becoming more common. But chicken? Never.

btw, in my native boston, "hotdog" is the norm, but "frankfurt" sans -er comes next (like hamburg and cheeseburg). i rarely hear the "frankfurter" except in rocky horror discussions.

also, "red hot" is a very specific (super spicy and BRIGHT RED) TYPE of hotdog. i don't know anyone who uses that for hotdogs in general -- is that regional?

That was beyond awesome!! Thank you for the link!! (Yes, I'm about to use up my allotment of exclamation points.)

We actually have two types of hot dogs sold regularly in stores (at least where I live), both kinds of them packaged in the plastic already earlier referred to. One is made from pork and chicken, the other is all beef, both are usually sold under the same brand name and clearly labeled as to which they are, and the all beef usually cost more. They vary in price by brand from very cheap to rather expensive, but as Lynne says, the best are all beef and usually kosher. I've always heard you really don't want to know what goes into the making of hot dogs, but my impression is that they are both from the ... uh, left over excess for lack of a better term? That said, I agree, I had some were kosher beef, hideously expensive (two to three times the price of the ones I usually buy), and insanely wonderful, as in you've-just-died-and-gone-to-heaven better than the usual ones I buy.starwefterhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-42297200536516760462013-07-24T14:06:32.042+01:002013-07-24T14:06:32.042+01:00The best American hot dogs are kosher and therefor...The best American hot dogs are kosher and therefore beef.

Some contributor to Wikipedia claims that frankfurters and weiners are the same thing — the latter Austrian word (='Vienna') being, perversely, the Swiss name.

Musically, both terms have been immortalised:

1 By Bo Carter, master of the single entendre. Listen to his recording of Please Warm My Weiner. (The title was re-used for an album of hokum. Type Please Warm My Weiner into Google images to see its striking cover.)

2. The song which sounds like a British description of hot dogs Frankfurter Sandwiches.

Actually, I've come to doubt whether American hot dogs are made with the sort of frankfurter that's sold in Britain. Your sausages seem to be beef or at least beefy; our frankfurters seem to be decidedly porky. They may also be firmer.David Crosbiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-69652120689368800882013-07-24T12:58:55.559+01:002013-07-24T12:58:55.559+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Crosbiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-27826714371337506672013-07-24T05:10:04.457+01:002013-07-24T05:10:04.457+01:00This whole frankfurter/hot dog thing has gotten me...This whole frankfurter/hot dog thing has gotten me thinking, and while I never would call it a frankfurter myself, and don't think I have ever heard someone call it that, if someone came up to me in the store and asked "Do you know where the frankfurters are?" I would know what they were talking about -- so the term isn't unheard of in America, or at least wasn't in my youth in the 1960s. I think it was more likely to be shortened to franks though, and that one anymore might take me a moment to process, for my brain to track down the right pathway so to speak.

I think I did hear them called wieners (pronounced "WEE-nerz) occasionally when I was young; I'd know what someone was looking for then also. I also found this, about the spelling: http://www.beedictionary.com/common-errors/weiner_vs_wiener And the Vienna sausages that came in a can were different, they were much smaller, and softer, something else entirely.starwefterhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-85160128575504168912013-07-23T22:54:25.433+01:002013-07-23T22:54:25.433+01:00The UK hotdog conumdrum is further confused by the...The UK hotdog conumdrum is further confused by the existence of something called "Hot Dog Sausages".

Pretty much every supermarket sells frankfurters (either the Herta brand or Polish brands I'm unfamiliar with). That said, even I as a US born Brit wouldn't use them for hot dogs in a barbecue. People here expect sausages.

It only becomes one by being served in a roll, preferably + fried onions but not essential. The onions (to me) are more essential than mustard. The roll needs to be a long one rather than a round one because of the shape of a sausage.

A round roll, as used for a burger (also please with fried onions) I'd usually call a 'bap'.

I can't off hand think of a generic word for a long roll. However (to me) a 'finger roll' is a small one, probably too small for a sausage, and a 'brioche' is one like a small fat French stick, usually, though, used for serving things which include salad.

On mustard incidentally, one friend of mine says of French mustard, 'it's quite nice as a flavouring as long as you don't call it mustard'. I agree with him, but he does come from Norfolk (for US readers, where most proper English mustard comes from).email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-74646827690746525872013-07-17T00:30:14.293+01:002013-07-17T00:30:14.293+01:00Ek You'll never persuade a Brit of my generat...Ek

You'll never persuade a Brit of my generation that a hot dog can be a mere sausage. Younger speakers may eventually be conditioned into the American usage — not by language activists but by food industry packaging and marketing.

The up-market supermarket I usually patronise (Waitrose) is celebrating the unusual hot 'barbecue' weather by putting cans and jars of sausages in brine called hot dogs on its shelves. (There's even a jar of red hots.) A slightly less premium supermarket (Sainsburys) is selling something even rarer: sausages called hot dogs dry and wrapped in plastic.

Most British supermarkets sell sausages called frankfurters all year round.David Crosbiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-65577339140785240342013-07-16T23:17:45.685+01:002013-07-16T23:17:45.685+01:00If what Johnny E says of BrE is correct, then I wo...If what Johnny E says of BrE is correct, then I would say BrE and AmE have the same ideal version of what a hotdog is, but different essential requirements.

In AmE, in my experience, the prototypical hotdog is just what Johnny E describes, a frankfurter on a soft bun, with catsup, mustard and relish being the standard toppings, though served plain and you add them yourself.

But a frankfurter without a bun is still a hotdog. And a brat on a bun is email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-37582105121117649972013-07-16T11:59:16.776+01:002013-07-16T11:59:16.776+01:00Kitchemudge British English use is very simple: ...Kitchemudge

British English use is very simple:

• The verb to barbecue means to grill something — anything — out of doors

• The countable noun a barbecue denotes one of two things
—1. an apparatus on which the stuff is grilled
—2. a single occasion when people come together, grill and eat the stuff

The thread War of Independence/Revolutionary War and an aside on barbecue indicates that American English usage is much more complicated and more nuanced. Because the word has been so long in popular usage there are historical and regional variations. With your foodie nom-de-plume you may object to the variations, but the evidence is there that they exist.

American English also has an uncountable noun as in some barbecue — which is absent from British vocabulary.

As with hot dog and hamburger, we use the term for what strikes us as unusual and interesting about the American foodstuff. What you mean by the words isn't so relevant (to us).

I don't know what it means to the Brits, but to an American cook who knows what he's doing, it's a method of cooking: low and slow. Burgers and dogs are not barbecued. They are grilled. Your earlier post did correctly point out that it can also be the meat cooked by the barbecue method.kitchenmudgehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-1150232209861588312013-07-13T11:39:23.579+01:002013-07-13T11:39:23.579+01:00Starwefter And this brings up a rather related qu...Starwefter

And this brings up a rather related question -- we refer to the round buns as hamburger buns and the long buns as hot dog buns. Is this the same in Britain, or do you call them something else?

Bakers and supermarkets may use the terms, especially at this time of year (barbecue weather), but I don't think many ordinary punters would use them. As Lynne observed on another thread, we seldom use bun for something that isn't sweet.

The safest way to be understood is Some round rolls for hamburgers, please. Some long rolls for hot dogs, please.

For other terms, visit Lynne's baked good thread.David Crosbiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28787909.post-16237781850005334782013-07-13T11:03:37.752+01:002013-07-13T11:03:37.752+01:00Starwefter That sounds like what David Crosbie re...Starwefter

That sounds like what David Crosbie referred to as a mincer if I'm understanding him correctly.

Yes, that's what I think of as a heavy-duty mincer for professionals. My mother's mincer had a much shorter tube. My own mincer is the same shape as my mother's but is considerably lighter, with the container bits made of plastic. It looks more or less like  this model.David Crosbiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Coronado: Signs proclaim 'Home of a Naval Aviator'
The older gentleman who walked into the Coronado Historical Association office was bent over a cane. He used two pairs of eyeglasses to see.
But it quickly became apparent to association director Susan Enowitz that this 90-year-old fellow was someone extraordinary: A Navy "ace" from World War II.
In Coronado, birthplace of naval aviation, you never know when the senior citizen down the street might be a naval war hero.
Stories like this one are bubbling up almost daily thanks to a grassroots yard sign campaign in this small beachfront town.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Navy flying this year, the city's historical society began researching how many aviators have lived in the town where it all began.
At least 500 "Home of a Naval Aviator" signs are expected to go up in Coronado front yards over the next few weeks. Boy Scouts planted the first ones last weekend.
"You don't know when talking to people what their past is and what they've done," said Enowitz, the historical society director.
"It's bringing out a lot of stories, a lot of heartwarming stories about individuals and the role they played in naval aviation and the sacrifice to our country," she said.
For example, naval aviator No. 3, Jack Towers, lived for a time at the El Cordova Hotel on Orange Avenue.
Sen. John McCain, who flew Navy A-4 Skyhawks before being shot down and becoming a prisoner of war in Vietnam, lived in his youth at 800 A St.
Dean Laird, the Navy "ace" who shuffled into the historical association office, still resides in the laid-back town, population 30,000. In World War II, he was responsible for shooting down at least five enemy planes.
In addition to being the birthplace of naval aviation, San Diego was its heartbeat during the early years when men in goggles flew open-cockpit planes on dangerous missions.
The first Navy flying school opened at North Island in 1911. The first aircraft carrier, the Langley, docked at Coronado in 1922.
Navy aviation will celebrate its centennial with a massive aerial show over San Diego Bay on Feb. 12. About 200 military planes will fly over the Coronado Bridge and up the bay in what's expected to be a free two-hour spectacle.
There's no official count of how many former and retired aviators live in San Diego County. The Association of Naval Aviation counts about 400 members in its San Diego chapter.
But the ranks of local Navy pilots stretch back decades.
The sign at Susan Keith's 100-year-old house on Tolita Avenue will have two numbers on it.
One indicates her father, the late Vice Adm. Stanhope C. Ring, a pilot who commanded an aircraft carrier air group during the Battle of Midway in World War II.
The other is for her stepfather, the late Rear Adm. Aaron Putnam "Put" Storrs III. He was a founding member of the Navy's first aerial acrobatic team, the forerunner of the Blue Angels.
Keith still lives in the house her parents bought in 1947. She was born at North Island.

Bare Eye
Excerpt from a small novel (1)
ITAY Kayong told Francisco he had never seen Pancho Villa himself.
"Father told me po about him having been there," the boy said.
"Did he see him himself?"
"He did not tell me po."
His father did not actually see the great boxer, but the boy had repeatedly been assured about Villa, a diminutive legend whose arm muscles were said to be supple to the touch, like those of a young woman. Born Francisco Guilledo in Barrio Ilog, Negros Occidental, Villa caused church bells to be rung and sirens to wail in uncontrolled glee all over Manila with his conquest of the knockout terror Jimmy Wilde, known as "The Atom," in capturing the world flyweight boxing championship in June 1923.
Did Villa work as a pastol and box at the same time?
"Maybe, because he was very poor," the old man told the boy.
"But they said Amang Rodriguez also gathered grazing grass from there," the boy said.
"I also heard about it, but I didn't see the grand old Amang himself."
If Amang Rodriguez, a prominent native of Rizal province who became President Eulogio Rodriguez Sr. of the Philippine Senate, had hauled feeding grass from the back of the old man's shack, he must've come as a simple zacatero in his caritela, unlike Villa, who had to go by foot all the way from the old Olympic auditorium in the Sta. Cruz area, where he trained and slept on the floor.
If not from far-off Sta. Cruz, the great boxer would also start from an obscure neighborhood in San Juan, near the Pinaglabanan Church, where Villa was said to have resided for some time.
Anyway, there were amazed folks who suspected Villa's gifts of unusual strength could've been derived from a freshly fallen carabao tooth, a sure-fire talisman, he had chanced upon during one early pasture round, although these people were also left to wonder how and where Villa got his awesome power and quickness.
It was with a sharp system of fighting, close to clinical but truly swift and colorful, that the poor boy from Negros had dazzled the world audience. He was seen as a soundless assassin that could materialize at the back of his opponent in half a wink, after having landed a frontal punch.
The composed, cat-eyed star from the Orient was among the first of the little brown dolls that came to the United States straight from the Philippine Islands or were minted in the plantations of Hawaii, the canneries in California.

Global Markets Rally After EU Leaders Set Debt Plan
By Ari Shapiro
U.S. stocks had one of their best days in weeks Thursday: The Dow jumped nearly 3 percent and prices in Europe went through the roof. The surge came after the announcement that European leaders finally agreed on a comprehensive plan to tackle their debt problems. Does the rally mean investors think the crisis is over?

Value of Kenneth Watts jib sail
I have recently acquired a Kenneth Watts COTTON racing jib measuring 250"x88"x218". Is this sail worth anything special? Is there a market for "collectors sails"? I am willing to part with it if the price is right.

WOS Awards Announced on 22 Feb, Record Voting
Editorial Staff • West End • 22 Jan 2008
The annual Awards, now in their eighth year, have firmly established their place in the theatrical calendar. In previous years, an average of 12,000 theatregoers have taken part to decide the eventual winners. With three weeks still to go, this year has already seen a nearly 40% increase in participation.
Terri Paddock, editorial director of Whatsonstage.com, attributes the surge in voting numbers to the high profile achieved for various West End productions last year. "Figures just released by the Society of London Theatre showed 2007 was a record year for West End attendances (See News, 18 Jan 2008), with first-time theatregoers fuelling much of the growth. The voting frenzy in the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards this year bears this out. After all, 2007 was the year of Any Dream Will Do, Grease Is the Word, the stage debuts of Daniel Radcliffe and Orlando Bloom, and blockbuster musicals like Hairspray, not to mention big stage turns from familiar screen faces like Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, John Simm and many others. It was an incredibly exciting year that attracted mainstream attention to theatre like never before."
The Awards competition couldn't be closer between Any Dream Will Do victor Lee Mead and Michael Ball – both nominated for Best Actor in a Musical for their performances in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Hairspray respectively; currently, less than a single percentage point separates the two men. Elsewhere, Hairspray – which has ten nominations overall – is storming ahead in many of its categories, including Superbreak Best New Musical.
Locked in a fierce battle for Best New Play are War Horse (National Theatre) and All About My Mother (Old Vic), the adaptation of Pedro Almodovar's cult Spanish film. And the Best Newcomer category is rapidly becoming a three-way battle between Hollywood heavyweights Orlando Bloom (In Celebration), Daniel Radcliffe (Equus) and previously unknown recent drama school graduate Leanne Jones (Hairspray).
For Best Actor in a Play, X-Men screen adversaries Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen continue to lock horns for stage dominance, for their respective title performances in two of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, Macbeth and King Lear. The full Awards shortlists were announced on Friday 7 December (See WOS TV & Photos, 10 Dec 2007) – when voting was also launched – at a star-studded lunchtime ceremony, guest-hosted by the first lady of British musical theatre, Elaine Paige OBE, Michael Ball, Roger Lloyd Pack and John Gordon Sinclair at Café de Paris in the heart of the West End.
Whatsonstage.com Year on Year Concert
The cream of musical theatre talent will unite in a one-off event - the inaugural Whatsonstage.com Year on Year Concert on Sunday 24 February at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. This new annual event will celebrate the past year in theatre and look to the shows coming up over the next year from both sides of the Atlantic, incorporating the best from the West End and Broadway seasons.
The evening will also include live trophy presentations to some of the winners of this year's Theatregoers' Choice Awards. This marks the first time that a public event to celebrate the announcement of the winners – as opposed to the existing nominees' announcement event, which has become a key date in the industry calendar – has been staged in the awards' history.
Amongst those so far confirmed to take part in the concert are Aimie Atkinson, Paul Baker, Leila Benn Harris, Graham Bickley, Daniel Boys, Sharon D Clarke, Ben James-Ellis, Ramin Karimloo, Leanne Jones, Debbie Kurup, Melanie La Barrie, Robyn North, Lara Pulver, Jon Robyns, Frances Ruffelle and Tom Solomon, as well as the casts of Buddy and the forthcoming Never Forget, the musical based on the songs of Take That, and winners of the Perfect Pitch Search for New Musicals.
Our charity & sponsors
The 2008 Whatsonstage Theatregoers' Choice Awards and Year on Year Concert are held in aid of this year's adopted charity, Mousetrap Theatre Projects, which was founded by Sir Stephen Waley-Cohen to give disadvantaged young people affordable access to the best of London's live theatre. Ever year, Mousetrap takes over 7,500 to the theatre. The charity recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.
Media partner for the 2008 Awards is first magazine, who devoted a four-page spread to last month's launch party (See News, 21 Dec 2007). Our other headline sponsors indicate the strength of industry-wide support for the audience-decided awards. They include: Superbreak, the market leader for short breaks, including theatre breaks, throughout the UK; the West End's two largest marketing and advertising agencies, aka and Dewynters; Nick Hern Books, the UK's leading independent theatre publishers and performing rights licensors; primary theatre and event ticketing providers, See Tickets and Ticketmaster; and St James'-based restaurant institution Franco's.

Many of us have become so accustomed to copying and pasting data that it has become second nature to us. It's something we take for granted, or don't really think twice about. We just do it. After all it's so simple, right? Well sometimes, it's not so simple, particularly when you think you've copied one thing only to find out that you've really copied something else. Or you've already got some data on the clipboard and you don't want to lose it by copying something else there.
Why can't I get my stuff into Word without copying and pasting it? Word is where my stuff will ultimately end up any way. OneNote is not an application where you'd want to spend any length of time generating a refined document. After all, it just doesn't have the necessary tools and quite frankly is not capable of producing such a thing. It's design is to allow you to easily capture your stuff and keep it safe until you need it.
Well, the Send to Word feature in OneNote is here to save the day. You don't have to copy anything to the clipboard in order to get it into Word. Just click File -> Send To -> Microsoft Office Word and your whole page of notes magically appears in a new page in Word.

Ex-Madoff aide on trial in NY wins dismissal of two counts
Published on Feb 22, 2014 10:53 AM
NEW YORK (REUTERS) - One of five former Bernard Madoff aides on trial for abetting his massive Ponzi scheme will face two fewer counts when the case goes to a jury, after a judge agreed to throw out charges that he arranged for his son to get a no-show job at the firm.
In an opinion filed late on Friday, United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain in Manhattan federal court granted Daniel Bonventre's motion to dismiss the counts, which charged him with violating federal law by causing false documents to be filed with the Department of Labor.
However, Ms Swain denied motions from Bonventre and from two other defendants, portfolio manager Annette Bongiorno and Joann Crupi, to dismiss a number of other counts related to alleged tax violations.
The lengthy trial, which began in October, is expected to end within the next two weeks. The five defendants, who also include former computer programmers Jerome O'Hara and George Perez, have said they were duped by Madoff into believing the business was legitimate.

In reality You don't do a preemptive strike, because when we go to Pittsburgh, payback would be warranted. It quickly gets dangerous. I suspect McDonald will hit a Red in the first, likely BP, both benches will be warned, and that should be the end of it.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
You can understand McCutcheon's frustration. On a number of levels. Beat them 10-0 tonight and I am sure he'll be in an even worse mood.
I'm guessing Phillips takes one to the back in the first.
If that happens, I hope we get a good fight out of it (sue me, I find a good baseball fight entertaining), or at least another payback pitch. Chappy's wasn't intentional. I don't care if we're at an even 1-for-1 or not, there should be retribution if that happens. Or maybe its just wishful thinking.... I love a good heated rivalry.I'm guessing Phillips takes one to the back in the first.
I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
I wish they sat BP tonight.
Ahh, give 'em a break. They haven't had MLB in Pittsburgh for so long that they forgot the rules.
(Honestly, I'd probably be upset too. But that's just baseball.)
I enjoyed my time in Pittsburgh too, it's nice to be able to hit a Jazz club from time to time.

Re: 6600 256MB vs. 6600GT 128MB
Well, after some problems with ordering my card online (not in stock...didn't want to wait, so canceled the order), I ended up heading to the mainland and getting an ELSA Gladiac 6600GT.
I installed it and got the latest forceware drivers working. It seems to be doing OK.
However, while at the store, I noticed an ASUS 6800GS for cheaper. Since I had contented myself on buying a GT, I bought the GT. However, I just noticed a thread saying that it would be better to get the 6800GS. I can return the card, if I want to. Would it be better to return the 6600GT for the 6800GS?
I always hate buying things at stores, cause you can't check out the interent before making your final decision. And, as I stated before, I'm a horrible consumer.
Thanks again to everyone for their input.
EDITED to add a couple questions: how easy is it to unlock the extra pipelines, and overclock the card (to bring it on par with a 6800GT)? And is it worth it in regards to my stated gaming habits vs. the wear and tear on the card?

Gear Question
Can you use sterling power cord to sling...
Can you use sterling power cord to sling hex nuts?
If I'm understand your question correctly, you're looking to tie a piece of this cord around the wire portion of the hex nut? If this it the case, then no, I would not recommend it. As the force of a fall is applied to the cord, it seems the wire would potentially generate enough force to cut through the cord, similar to a rope or cord being weighted over a sharp rock edge.
Lyric Rosatti
I think we may need a bit more information before we can help you. Are you planning on re-threading the hex nuts with cord (ie: replace the wire with cord) or are you looking to use this as a sling to carry a rack of protection?
I believe you can if your hex nuts have holes big enough to use this cord, without modifying the nut holes. And never put cord next to cable when putting cord as the attachment point for a hex nut! that should be an obvious point. The advantage of using cord in a hex nut is the matter of being able to customize the length of sling from anchor to rope attachment point. This is a key point when determining how the load (you falling), etc. actually hits the protection point i.e. on a very zig-zag route, or one with deeper protection points,taking care to align the rope in a straighter line will ultimately make all protection anchor points safer by keeping them aligned as to how they were placed. I've found that the larger the hex nut, the longer the cord should be. About an inch per size, make sure you tie a triple fisherman knot, and keep the knot midway between nut and attachment bight in the cord.

Column: Let's hope athletes take a stand in Sochi
John Carlos took a stand for human rights during the Mexico City Olympics that resonates to this day.
Almost 45 years ago, Carlos climbed on the medals podium along with Tommie Smith. Each thrust a black-gloved fist toward the sky. Peter Norman stood in front of them, stoically wearing a badge that showed his support for the African-American cause.
Let's hope the athletes of the world are prepared to make a similar statement at the Sochi Games.
They're the best hope of getting through to the Russians that their anti-gay law is unacceptable.
"We were willing to sacrifice everything," Carlos said. "It was not just a gesture for John Carlos and Tommie Smith and Peter Norman. It was for all of society."
Carlos, as much as anyone, knows that sports can be a potent tool to help address society's ills.
"I'll bet there are athletes out there that have as much power or recognition as the president of the United States," he told The Associated Press. "Now, when I say power, I don't mean they have the political power to dictate things one way or the other. I'm talking about a power amongst the people. So many people will stop and listen to what these individuals have to say. They will stop and recognize what they are wearing or which direction they are going."
What would be more powerful than every athlete carrying a small rainbow flag - a symbol of the gay pride movement - when they walk into stadium in Sochi during the opening ceremony?
What would be more powerful than every athlete who wins a medal climbing on that podium with a replica of the OPHR (Olympic Project for Human Rights) badge that Smith, Normal and Carlos wore while receiving their medals at the `68 Summer Games?
Wonder how that would go over with Vladimir Putin?
Let's hope we get to find out.
Certainly, there's no chance of the International Olympic Committee taking any meaningful steps after Russia's recent passage of a law that bans so-called gay "propaganda."
Some of that is understandable, given we're only months away from the start of the Winter Games - too short a timeframe to pull the mammoth event from Sochi and award it to another city, at least without delaying the games until 2015. But also, as we saw in Beijing, the IOC is more concerned about its bottom line than advancing the cause of human rights.
The Russians insist this is a non-issue being pushed by the West to embarrass the Olympic hosts as they prepare for their moment on the world stage, that the law is merely designed to protect children and there is no desire to criminalize homosexuality. But every time they addressed the complaints during the world athletics championships, which wrapped up Sunday in Moscow, they stepped in the you-know-what.
When Swedish high jumper Emma Green Tregaro painted her fingernails in the colors of the rainbow to support gays and lesbians, Russian pole vault star Yelena Isinbayeva called it a sign of disrespect for her homeland.

Crayola Goes Green for Back-to-School
Filed under: Preschoolers, Big Kids, Tweens, Activities: Babies
Are Screamin' Green, Granny Smith Apple, Asparagus, Fern, Mountain Meadow, Shamrock and Tropical Rain Forest among your favorite Crayola colors?
Well, it's time to take your love of green one step further this back-to-school season with the brand's new eco-friendly crayons, markers and colored pencils. Here's some of the new stuff to check out as you shop:
- Crayola markers will now have black barrels instead of white, which allows more recycled plastic to be used and gives new life to more than 1 million pounds of plastic bottle caps.
- Starting this summer a billion crayons will be made using solar power each year -- look for specially-marked boxes of Crayola crayons. And, during the crayon making process, any chipped or broken crayons are remelted in the mixer, so there's no waste.
- All wood used in Crayola colored pencils comes from reforested trees and for each tree used, another of the same kind is planted.

Vadi strikes again with a wonderful product. It has stopped working since phone update, however. Hoping another update is in the future

This app is pretty awesome for keeping up with in-game events while logged out. Simple and functional. And considering the fact that I love to keep up with logs and such, having an app rather than visiting the website everytime just makes things much easier. Props to Vadi. Thank you very much, the purchase is worth it!

Vadi always does good work and this is no exception. Even when I can't play I can still keep up with the goingson.

I like the fact that it notifies me when i get a message, and how easy it is to cycle through the news and post. But the first screen is supposed to tell you how many unread news you have. It has never said anything but 0. I've had this program for a little longer than an achaean year. I would also like the addition of something to visually mark a news read in the list of news.
