My inspiration for my kitchen
I have one annoying kitchen cabinet in between two windows that blocks a bit of light. I want to remove it and do one long shelf as in this pic. I might do a wallpaper up top or keep it clean and white. I plan to mirror the backsplash area under the shelf.

The Feeding of the 5000 is the first album by Crass, released in 1978.
Album information[edit]
The record was made when Pete Stennett, owner of Small Wonder Records, heard a demo that the band had recorded. Impressed by all of the material, he decided that rather than release a conventional single by the band, he would put all of their set onto an 18-track 12" EP. However, problems were encountered when workers at the Irish pressing plant contracted to manufacture the record refused to handle it due to the allegedly blasphemous content of the track "Reality Asylum" (referred to as "Asylum" on the record sleeve). The record was eventually released with this track removed and replaced by two minutes of silence, retitled "The Sound of Free Speech". This incident also prompted Crass to set up their own record label in order to retain full editorial control over their material, and "Reality Asylum" was issued shortly afterwards in a re-recorded and extended form as a 7" single. A later repress of The Feeding of The 5000 (subtitled The Second Sitting) released on Crass records in 1980 restored the missing track.[citation needed]
The song "They've Got a Bomb" also has a period of silence within it, inspired by John Cage's "4'33"". The band have acknowledged the influence of Cage, and said that the idea of the space in the song, when performed live, was to suddenly stop the energy, dancing and noise and allow the audience to momentarily "confront themselves" and consider the reality of nuclear war. However, that was not always the case: on the live version of "They've Got a Bomb" on Stations of the Crass, the audience can be heard clapping.[citation needed]
"The feeding of the five thousand" is a well-known phrase in Christian tradition, being the name of a Biblical miracle in which a small amount of food is said to have fed 5,000 people. According to the band's drummer and spokesperson, Penny Rimbaud, "We named the album The Feeding of The Five Thousand because 5,000 was the minimum number that we could get pressed and some 4900 more than we thought we'd sell. Feeding is now only a few hundred short of going golden, though I don't suppose we'll hear too much about that in the music press".[2]
On 16 August 2010, The Feeding of the 5000 was rereleased as the first volume of The Crassical Collection. As well as being digitally remastered from the original analogue studio tapes, the release also contains additional artwork by Gee Vaucher, bonus material and a 64-page booklet of lyrics and liner notes by Rimbaud and Steve Ignorant.[3]

Most folks would throw their microwave away and purchase a new one, the door mechanisms are usually easy to repair and parts are available. Be careful in there because of the potential of electrocution, that is why they put the tamper proof screws in place.

Claude Giroux and the Flyers took the banner as a 'slap in the face'
|10.07.11 at 2:08 am ET
Claude Giroux is one of the holdovers from the Flyers team that was dispatched by the Bruins and then dismantled in the summer. These Flyers who traded captain Mike Richards and Jeff Carter have been remade. But Giroux was on that team last spring and he remembered how it felt last May when the Bruins sent them packing.
He also watched as the Bruins used that four-game sweep as a springboard to the Stanley Cup title they celebrated Thursday night with a banner-raising ceremony.
"Coming to a game here, especially the first game of the season when they are raising the banner, it's a slap in the face and its motivation for a little payback even though it's the first game of the season," Giroux said. "It's good for our ego and everybody was ready to go tonight."
Giroux put his money where he mouth was by scoring a power play goal with less than two minutes left in the first. That was followed a minute late by a goal from Jakub Voracek. On Giroux's goal it was another newcomer who played a big role – Jaromir Jagr – who fed a speeding Giroux down the slot.
"Yeah I think that he saw that I had speed," Giroux said. "I don't really remember what happened, it happened so quick. I made the inside move and I was able to beat that defenseman and take it to the net."
It's just one game but the Bruins' sweep in May netted a lot of change in Philly, including Ilya Bryzgalov, the new $30 million goalie for the Flyers. And for one night, it paid off for Philly.
"I mean everyone was pretty excited and nervous and it turned out great," Giroux said. "Obviously Bryz had the key saves at the end to make sure we got that win."
Those saves on Nathan Horton and David Krejci were just the kind of game-stoppers Bruins fans remember Tim Thomas making last spring en route to the Stanley Cup title.

Israel, Hamas to negotiate new Gaza dealBy KARIN LAUB and MAGGIE MICHAEL
The Associated Press | August 06,2014AP Photo
Palestinians inspect damage to their house in the Shawkah district east of the town of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday.GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip The outlines of a solution for blockaded Gaza are emerging after Tuesdays tentative Israel-Hamas cease-fire: Norway is organizing a donor conference, and Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas aims to oversee rebuilding and reassert his authority in the territory, lost to Hamas in 2007.
Forces loyal to Abbas would be deployed at Gazas crossings to encourage Israel and Egypt to lift the closure they imposed after the Hamas takeover.
Indirect Israel-Hamas talks in Cairo are to tackle the details. The hope is that promises of a better life for Gazans will coax compromise and avert what had been looking like a fight to the finish.
The gaps remain wide, especially between Israel and Hamas.
Israel says it has inflicted a painful blow to Hamas military capabilities in the month of fighting and wants to make sure the group cannot rearm if border restrictions are eased.
The extent to which we are going to be ready to cooperate with the efforts to have better access and movement in Gaza will deeply depend on the kind of arrangements that would secure our peace and security, said Yossi Kuperwasser, a senior official in Israels Strategic Affairs Ministry.
Hamas, in turn, has signaled flexibility on ceding some authority to Abbas in Gaza, but insists on having a say on reconstruction and that it will not disarm.
Izzat Rishq, a senior Hamas official, said disarming isnt up for discussion.
Wed take the life of anyone who tries to take the weapons of resistance, he told The Associated Press.
Despite such tough talk, Hamas is in a position of relative weakness.
The Islamic militant groups fortunes changed dramatically last year after the Egyptian military deposed a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo and began closing hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border.
The closures deprived Hamas of a key source of revenue the taxation of goods brought through the tunnels and prevented weapons and cash destined for Hamas from flowing into Gaza.
By this spring, Hamas was in such a severe financial crisis that it accepted a reconciliation deal with Abbas. Under that agreement, an Abbas-led government was to run both the West Bank and Gaza, though thorny issues were put off, including Hamas insistence that it retain control over its security forces. The unity government was stumbling by the time Israel-Hamas fighting erupted July 8.
Even before the war, Gaza was in bad shape because of the prolonged blockade.
Unemployment in the impoverished territory of 1.8 million people had risen well above 50 percent, in part because of Egypts tunnel closures. Only half of Gazas electricity needs were being met, and the closure prevented most Gaza residents from travel.
After four weeks of intense fighting, including close to 5,000 Israeli strikes on Gaza targets, the devastation is widespread.
According to initial figures from Gazas main U.N. aid agency, some 10,000 homes were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Gazas only power plant was forced to shut down last week after being shelled by Israel, and repairs will take months, Gaza officials said.
One of the hardest-hit areas was the southern town of Rafah, where intense shelling over the weekend appeared to have spared little. Mosques, homes, offices, stores and at least one school either lay in ruins or were badly damaged, hit by shrapnel or gunfire.
After Tuesdays cease-fire took effect at 8 a.m., thousands of Rafah residents returned home to try to salvage belongings.
Ahmed Barbakh, a 36-year-old government employee, emerged from his badly damaged home with a plastic bag containing the birth certificates of his five children and other crucial documents.
A lone chicken was all that was left of the dozens he raised at home. I am not taking it. What am I supposed to do with a chicken now? I need a place to live with my wife and children, Barbakh said as he made his way out of his crushed home.
Nearly 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, the vast majority civilians, according to Gaza health officials and U.N. figures. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and three civilians were killed.
The truce is to remain in effect for at least three days, with an expectation that it will be extended to allow Cairo talks on a Gaza solution to proceed. Both the United States and the United Nations are sending representatives.
Mohammed Mustafa, a deputy prime minister in the Abbas-led government, said he has already started preparing a Gaza reconstruction plan that would be presented at an international pledging conference in Norway.
He said the usual lineup of donors the United States, European Union, Japan, Arab states and international organizations like the World Bank are likely to be there.
Norwegian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Veslemoey Salvesen confirmed that Norway will host the conference in early September in Oslo, but said no date has been set.
International Mideast envoy Tony Blair is also involved in arranging the conference, his office said.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. expects to participate in the Cairo talks to negotiate a longer-term truce between Israel and Hamas. Its still unclear what role the U.S. would take, or when that would happen, she said, but our effort and our engagement on this process from the beginning has been welcomed by the parties.MORE IN Wire NewsBOSTON A man under 24-hour surveillance by terrorism investigators was shot and killed outside ...

yah, but why do you think I was assuming that a racket head is an ellipse or a circle?
What I did was to take a picture of a racket next to a shape (like a rectangle or a circle) with a known area in sq inches. Imported that into any decent image editor. In the editor I find out how many pixels the racket head area takes. I also find out how many pixels the known-size area takes. Once I have that it is a simple equation to find out the area of the racket head.
Works pretty well. Just need to be careful to take proper pictures and do some image editing magic to make sure that in the editor the pixels are counted properly.
To be even more sure I usually take pictures of the racket next to multiple shapes with known area. That way I can re-verify the measurements and pixels-to-area equations. Since I know the areas of at least two shapes I can verify if the pixel ratio for those two shapes makes sense (as it needs to be the same ratio as the ratio of their areas).

Written by TurboBengal, published July 1st, 2013. 9 comment(s).
I grew up in the time of arcade games. Atari and Nintendo were thing of my generation. When I went to an arcade, I wanted to play the next step up from what I could already play a home. Unfortunately for me, this was never pinball. They were machines my parents played.
It wasn't until 2012 when I really fell in love it. I mean, I had played a few games before, but never really understood the point... just keep the ball alive right?
A co-worker asked for my suggestion on places he should take his new girlfriend on a date. I had suggested the bowling alley since they could bowl, and then go play ski-ball and other games at the arcade. They ended up doing that. Another co-worker was bit ticked that they didn't take his proposal more seriously.
He had mentioned that there was bar near his house that had a ton of old arcade game from our generation as well as some pinball machines. I thought it sounded cool and offered to have a beer there after work.
When I first walked in I could see several pinball machines, of which I did not take immediate note of. I walked around the bar and saw close to 20 arcade machines! Pac Man, Star Wars, Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, Frogger, etc.. the list goes on and on.
So I played several of these machines that were calling me from my youth and was found wanting. Man... these things are…lame, the controller doesn't fit as well as I remember. I was really bored with something that initially got me so excited. It honestly was little heartbreaking to not at all really enjoy the toys of my youth.
So, I went over and put a quarter into one of the pinball machines and waited for it to start...seriously.. had to get help finding the start button.
I played one game and was immediately frustrated at a few shots I felt like I should have had. I was about ready to leave. Five regular patrons came over and started to play The Six Million Dollar Man. They asked me to play as well since there was a spot open. I knew I would lose, but what the heck. There was an additional dollar everyone put in for gambling. you know... entertainment only stuff ;-). From there I was hooked. The competitive side came out in me. "How in the world did he just get 50K?" I was better informed of the rules and how to play the game for maximum points. I watched as they nudged and shook the machines to manipulate the game. I wasn't good enough for any of that yet, but I did have a little luck on my side that day and took the $6.
From then on I was obsessed. That experience made me fall in love with that particular machine. Not only that, but it was the best deal. 5 balls for a quarter and you get the play-more-post. It was a no brainer where I was pumping my quarters.
I really wanted a machine and talked to my wife about making the bar an offer since I was informed they rotate machines quite frequently. The bar owner was unwilling to part with it as it was also their favorite machine.
I went on an eBay quest, and as luck would have it, a few weeks later, I found one in the same city and made it mine.
While my skill set has developed substantially and "The Man" is at risk of getting rolled every time I play it, it is still one of my favorite machines.
I do like the 70's Bally nostalgia, but the layout of this game along with the play-more-post, spots, drop downs, spinners, risk/reward strategy and most importantly, my wife's love of THIS game has made it a permanent fixture in our collection.
I found Pinside as my love for the hobby evolved. I met some genuinely great people through this forum in Coz6 and IndyPin. I have been able to play their more advanced collection and discover a whole new genre of pinball thanks to their generosity.
Since then, I have added a Black Hole to my collection and a Grand Lizard to my father's house.
It a hobby that anyone can truly enjoy and now every holiday or event that is hosted at my house, almost always leads straight to the game room with someone always playing and people talking about how they are going to have to get one now.
very cool story. Thanks for sharing, its awesome you own the pin that got you hooked, its a great feeling, I recently was able to purchase the game that got me thinking, there's way more to this than just keeping the ball alive, and its in my house!!!yay..cheers...
Great story! It sounds like you have a cool collection going there.

Hey Patrick! I was reading this story not realizing it was written by you. As I read thru it, I started thinking to myself "Man, this kinda sounds like Patrick's story!" LOL. Great story indeed. Always a pleasure to have you and the bride over for some pinball. Thanks for the shout out and looking to have you over soon.
Great story! Thanks for sharing!
Great story, I find the classic video boring too. However, "Tapper" rules!
Cool story. Looks like you know some really good folks who are willing to help out. Wishing you many years of enjoyment.
I really enjoyed your story. I, too, was a late bloomer to the pinball world, as video games & the arcades were my first choice of entertainment back in the day!
Great story! SMDM is a great machine. Me and my Buddies played it like crazy at a local Pizza place, back in the 80s... When I started this hobby a few years ago, my same friends kept asking when am I getting SMDM???
I finally found one worthy of purchase and got it! Brought back a flood of memories...
Be careful though, I just added my 9th pin to the house.
Have fun, take care!!
This is a great story! I have spent short amounts of time on some of the old arcades and found them boring as hell. I can't believe my buddies and I would run home after school to play Atari for hours. It wasn't until my older years that I understood the power of pinball. Black Hole is on my list.

EDWARDS — Amid a chorus of concerns about illegal immigration and the growing federal deficit, Sen. Michael Bennet on Friday pushed for a health care plan that would give citizens an option to purchase insurance from the government.
On a westbound Interstate 70 swing, the Democratic senator pitched a reform plan with a public option in two town halls with more than 500 people here and in Frisco. Bennet will meet President Barack Obama today on the Western Slope for another health care meeting in Grand Junction.
In the mountain towns, Bennet fielded questions about the nation's debt and whether the House version of the bill allows undocumented immigrants access to a government system.

"I'm definitely for health care reform, I think it's absolutely necessary, but I don't like that it's being rammed down people's throats," said Marlene Krell, a retired psychotherapist who has a home here and one in Golden. "The reason there is such fear and such discontent is because the senators hadn't read it."
Indeed, Bennet said he had read "a lot" of the bill, but not all of it. He promised the audience there were no conversations in Congress about covering illegal immigrants, but he couldn't point to the page — 143 — where it explicitly denies coverage for them.
Bennet told the audiences he supported health care reform because premiums are climbing for the 250 million Americans with health insurance now. He also worries about Medicare's trust fund, which "is about to go belly up" as more people rely on the public system in future years.
"If we put our head in the sand . . . we know what's going to happen," he said in Frisco. "We'll hit the iceberg."
He acknowledged that the ire in town halls — in Colorado, and across the country — was mostly about fear of changing a system that hasn't worked for years.
"As much as we don't like the current system, it's the devil we know," he said.
He used Veterans Affairs as an example of a public insurance program that is working for one group of people.
"My intention is only this . . . that everyone have access to health care, that it's quality and that it doesn't bankrupt folks," he said.
Lisa Knobel pays less than $300 a month for her own health insurance and has a serious thyroid condition, she told the room in Frisco. She mistrusts a government plan because she reads blogs from England, where there is universal health care, that women with her same condition don't get as many drug and treatment options.
"Your argument is a great argument against the U.K. system," Bennet said. "But no one here is proposing the U.K. system."
He drew applause — a few people gave him a standing ovation — when he promised that he wouldn't sign a bill that wasn't paid for. He said he would come back to Edwards and explain "not with smoke and mirrors, but persuasively" how Congress paid for the plan, though he acknowledged much of that work still had to be done.
The junior senator was appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter in January to take former Sen. Ken Salazar's spot after he was named interior secretary in the new administration.
Bennet, who is up for election next year, used Friday's town halls as an opportunity to introduce himself in front of rooms full of voters. He talked about the problem-solving skills he honed working for Anschutz Investment Co. and trying to improve student achievement as public schools chief in Denver.
Many people listening, though, were impatient with the stump speech.
"Let's go back to health care!" one woman yelled from the back at the Frisco meeting.
"Wherever you are on this . . . it's important for us to get this right," Bennet said. "People are going to look back 50 or 100 years from now . . . and say, 'Were we able to make the American dream come true?' "

The Saints ended preseason 2-2 and now we're onto the real season. Thankfully. The Saints roll into regular season mode today.
But there's still a few links to throw up for a mini-linkage.
The Saints lost to Tennessee 27-24 Thursday night as the stars sat for New Orleans.
Brian Allee-Walsh of NewOrleans.com says the Saints are limping into the season as opposed to marching.
Jeff Duncan of the T-P/NOLA.com news syndicate says the Saints escaped the preseason finale without any major injuries.
Mike Triplett of the T-P/NOLA.com syndicate writes that Junior Galette made a good impression in the Tennessee game.
Hunter Ansley of FOXSports.com writes that Darren Sharper still wants to return by the season opener on Thursday.

Boeing's 787 jetliner finally takes to the air
EVERETT, Wash. The first flight of Boeing's new 787 jetliner brought no surprises - exactly what pilots, engineers and company officials had anxiously sought for the long-delayed aircraft.
"The airplane responded just as we expected," Randy Neville, one of the two pilots, said after touchdown Tuesday at Seattle's Boeing Field. "It was a joy to fly."
Boeing has billions of dollars and its reputation riding on the sleek, blue-and-white aircraft that lifted off from Everett's Paine Field on a flight over western Washington, beginning the extensive flight testing program needed to obtain Federal Aviation Administration certification.
The widebody jet, the first commercial airplane made mostly of lightweight composite materials, is more than two years behind schedule because of parts problems and labor trouble. Chicago-based Boeing was determined the plane would fly before the end of the year to prove the program was back on track.
Neville and chief pilot Mike Carricker performed a variety of basic system checks, including testing the landing gear and the flaps, before landing about three hours later. Deteriorating but typical Northwest winter weather - rain, cold and wind - brought the plane back about an hour earlier than planned.
Before takeoff, the 186-foot-long aircraft paused for several minutes at the end of the runway for final checks, adding to the tension for Boeing employees, customers and airline executives standing on the tarmac. Loud cheers and applause built as the plane started its takeoff roll and took to the sky, its two huge engines kicking up clouds of mist.
"It's very historical. I can't think of a thing about it that I'm not impressed with," said Joe Bierce, a flight instructor for Delta Connection in Jacksonville, Fla., who was among the 25,000 people who gathered to watch the takeoff.
The 787 is a radical departure in aircraft design. Where other passenger jets are made mostly from aluminum and titanium, nearly all of the 787's fuselage and wings are made of lightweight composite materials such as carbon fiber, accounting for about 50 percent of the aircraft by weight.
Those materials have long been used on individual parts such as rudders, and on military planes, but the 787 is the most ambitious use of the technology aboard a passenger plane.
Boeing says the aircraft will be quieter, produce lower emissions and use 20 percent less fuel than comparable planes, while giving passengers a more comfortable cabin with better air quality and larger windows.
Officials cut the flight a little short after rain reduced visibility at Boeing Field and the aircraft ran into poor weather off the Washington coast.
Carriker said there was a "very, very aggressive plan" for tests on the initial flight and that he and Neville were able to accomplish about half those goals. The weather prevented them from flying the long straight stretches they expected, he said, but did allow them to test the plane in turbulence and icing, things not normally encountered on a first flight.
"There were no major issues with the plane, which considering the complexity is a huge statement," he said.

On This Page
Each time CreateFile() or OpenFile() is called to open a device, volume, directory, or data file, the I/O manager creates a file object. A handle to the file object is returned to the caller if the call succeeds. Subsequent I/O calls using the handle are considered operations on the same file object. Among the dispatch routines that a kernel-mode driver can supply, there are a few related to the creation and destruction of the file objects. This article discusses the use of the file object from the driver's perspective and the related dispatch routines.
A pointer to the file object is passed to the driver in the current I/O stack location of the IRP, at IrpSp->FileObject. Because I/O requests with the same handle have the same file object, a driver can use the file-object pointer to identify the I/O operations that belong to one open instantiation of a device or file.
NOTE: A driver should not use the value stored in Irp->Tail.Overlay.OriginalFileObject. This field is owned by the I/O manager. It may not contain the valid file object pointer intended for the driver.
Like other objects in Windows NT, each file object header has an open handle count and a reference count. The open handle count represents the number of handles that have been opened to the file object. The reference count represents the number of pointers to the object that are being used in the system. For example, when a file object is first created and a handle is returned to the caller of CreateFile, the file object's open handle count is set to 1. Each time the handle is duplicated or inherited, the open handle count is incremented. Each CloseHandle() call decrements the count. On the other hand, each time the handle is used to send an I/O request, the I/O manager calls the object manager to increment the file object's reference count. The reference count is decremented when each operation is completed. Drivers may also reference or derefence fileobjects by calling Ob(De)referenceObject.
IRP_MJ_CREATEThe dispatch routine for IRP_MJ_CREATE is called when a file object associated with the device is created. This is typically because of a call to CreateFile(), ZwCreateFile(), or indirectly by a higher-level dri er attaching itself by calling IoAttachDevice(). A driver is required to supply a dispatch routine for IRP_MJ_CREATE. Please see the Windows NT DDK documentation for details.
IRP_MJ_CLEANUPThe dispatch routine for IRP_MJ_CLEANUP is called when the last handle (in the whole system) to a file object is closed. In other words, the open handle count for the file object goes to 0. A driver that holds pending IRPs internally must implement a routine for IRP_MJ_CLEANUP. When the routine is called, the driver should cancel all the pending IRPs that belong to the file object identified by the IRP_MJ_CLEAN call. In other words, it should cancel all the IRPs that have the same file-object pointer as the one supplied in the current I/O stack location of the IRP for the IRP_MJ_CLEANUP call. Of course, IRPs belonging to other file objects should not be canceled. Also, if an outstanding IRP is completed immediately, the driver does not have to cancel it.
NOTE: The routine for IRP_MJ_CLEANUP and the cancel routines for individual IRPs serve different purposes. A driver with long-term IRPs should implement both. A cancel routine is called when the system attempts to cancel a specific IRP. This can happen without an IRP_MJ_CLEANUP call. For example, a user-mode thread gets an file handle from another thread and issues I/O requests with the handle. If the thread terminates with some requests pending, the system tries to cancel the pending IRPs that belong to the terminating thread. In this case, the cancel routines for these IRPs are called; but no IRP_MJ_CLEANUP request is issued. Conversely, IRP_MJ_CLEANUP can be issued with no cancel routines being called. As explained earlier, this happens when the last handle to a file object is closed. In this case, even if there are pending IRPs associated with the file object, the system does not try to cancel them. The driver handles the IRPs appropriately in the IRP_MJ_CLEANUP routine.
IRP_MJ_CLOSEThe IRP_MJ_CLOSE dispatch routine is called when a file object opened on the driver is being removed from the system; that is, all file object handles have been closed and the reference count of the file object is down to 0. Certain types of drivers do not need to handle IRP_MJ_CLOSE, mainly drivers of devices that must be available for the system to continue running. In general, this is the place that a driver should "undo" whatever has been done in the routine for IRP_MJ_CREATE.
As discussed earlier, the reference count is different from the open handle count. The reference count can be a non-zero value when the open handle count goes to 0. For example, if a user-mode program closes its last handle to a file object while there are still I/O requests outstanding, the related driver's IRP_MJ_CLEANUP routine is called because the open handle reaches 0, but the IRP_MJ_CLOSE routine is not called because there are still pointer references to the file object being used. The close routine is not called until all of the outstanding I/O requests are completed. Apparently, if the driver performs as planned in the IRP_MJ_CLEANUP routine, as discussed earlier, the IRP_MJ_CLOSE routine is called at the right time.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is reaching out to anglers and boaters in an attempt to prevent the spread of viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), a fish-killing disease that has infected smallmouth bass and more than a dozen other species.
The bass fishing world lost two veterans in February with the deaths of David Wharton, 59, and Michael Holt, 51.
David Giudice has fished his entire life, but he only began fishing competitively in 2008 after volunteering to serve as an observer during the Elite Series stop at Wheeler Lake.
BASS returns to the smallmouth paradise of Lake Champlain out of Plattsburgh, N.Y., for the Aug. 20-22 Northern Open, the second of three 2009 tournaments for the division.
Chad Griffin, an Alaska native who now lives in Cresson, Texas, caught the biggest bass of the tournament by carefully studying Oneida's past and meticulously fishing selected spots.
In this photo gallery you will see images from the pages of bassmaster magazine.
A narrated slideshow from the 2009 B.A.S.S. Slam trek. Chris Horton, James Hall and Dave Jones drove over 3,100 miles in a quest to catch bass a crossed the south.
If I had to pick just one thing that most casual smallmouth anglers struggle with, it would be that they aren't as good as they need to be at fishing deep water. That's the problem, and luckily there's a cure.
Bassmaster Magazine readers submit their lunkers for publication in the September/October 2009 issue.

Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg?170 lbs.
This is a matchup of a former welterweight champion and a fighter who had two chances to win a welterweight championship himself. Matt ?The Terror? Serra?s most recent victory came when he upset Georges St. Pierre in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. Unfortunately for Serra, this fight happened in 2007, so he has not had the winning feeling for some time. Frank ?Twinkle Toes? Trigg has had only one fight since returning to the UFC and was handed a TKO loss by welterweight contender Josh Koscheck. Trigg does have very good wrestling and Serra is a very good Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, but this will likely be more of a standup fight. I do not see Trigg trying to take this fight to the floor, and it will likely be a fight with a few bursts but will not be overly exciting.
Prediction- Serra by split decision
Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller?185 lbs.
Maia vs. Miller features two Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu black belts and should be a great ground battle. Maia has some of the best BJJ in the entire UFC so this will be one of the few times where Miller does not have a distinct ground advantage. Maia?s last fight was a loss to Nate Marquardt and Miller?s was a loss to Chael Sonnen. Marquardt and Sonnen are ironically fighting each other this night as well. Maia?s loss to Marquardt was a very quick and devastating knockout, so if Miller is wise he will try and keep this fight standing. Maia?s chin has now been tested and this matchup may come down to how much the New Jersey native, Miller, has improved his standup.
Prediction- Maia by submission
Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago?170 lbs.
This fight was originally expected to be a rematch between Josh Koscheck and Paulo Thiago. Koscheck was injured during training and would not be able to have trained well enough to be ready to fight on this date, so his teammate and fellow welterweight contender Mike ?Quick? Swick has filled in. Swick lost his chance at a title shot by not defeating Dan Hardy in November. This is a good test for Swick to show that he belongs among the divisions? elite. Thiago will have faced every American Kickboxing Academy welterweight after this fight, after already having won by T.K.O. against Josh Koscheck and losing to Jon Fitch by decision. His win vs. Koscheck was controversial as it seemed Josh was still able to fight, and his only other UFC victory was against Jacob Volkmann. These are two reasons why many question how good Thiago really is. If he defeats Mike Swick, he will have solidified himself as a top-10 welterweight and will put him back on the path for a title shot. Swick is known for a great burst right out of the gate, and I expect him to continue his quick and powerful game plan against Thiago.
Prediction- Swick by knockout
Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen?185 lbs.
Team Jackson?s Nate ?The Great? Marquardt will take on Team Quest product Chael Sonnen in a matchup of fighters who have recently had very impressive wins. Since Marquardt lost to Thales Leites in the summer of 2008, he is 3-0 with victories over Martin Kampmann, Wilson Gouveia, and Demian Maia - all three were stoppages due to punches. Marquardt?s aggressive style and with a great coach in Greg Jackson have made Nate arguably the best middleweight fighter outside of Anderson Silva. Marquardt believes those are the type of fights he should be having, and is upset with his matchup vs. Sonnen. Even though he feels this fight is unnecessary, if he looks past Sonnen he will not come out with a victory. Sonnen has recently beat Yushin Okami and Dan Miller by decision. Chael has great wrestling and working with Dan Henderson gives him a great coach who has experience converting Olympic caliber wrestling into mixed martial arts success. If Chael is able to use his wrestling advantage a ground and pound style fight could be in store and an upset victory for Sonnen may occur. However, if Marquardt is able to keep it standing he has a distinct advantage on the feet. Expect Sonnen to try for takedowns in every round, but will get stuffed and eventually knocked out.
Prediction- Marquardt by knockout
Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman?205 lbs.
The two elder statesmen of the light heavyweight division do not have many fights left in their 45+ year-old bodies. Both were world class wrestlers before entering the UFC and both are UFC Hall of Famers. These two fighters have paved the way for many collegiate and Olympic wrestlers to succeed in the UFC. Coleman and Couture have proven that wrestling is one of the best backgrounds to have in the UFC and it is hard to believe that these two have yet to cross paths. Randy ?The Natural? Couture recently defeated Brandon Vera and Mark ?The Hammer? Coleman beat Stephan Bonnar?both were by unanimous decision. In this fight, whoever is able to control the octagon and score a few takedowns will likely come out victorious. Neither has much knockout power left in their hands and this fight will likely end in a decision with the resilient Couture coming out on top.*
Prediction- Couture by unanimous decision

On kidney failure and transplantation
popular .
Some of our nephrologist friends lament that the kidneys don't seem to share the same attention and care as people give their hearts or brains. Many fear succumbing to a stroke or heart attack, but don't realize that developing kidney failure can be just as disabling.
Long-standing or chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now considered a heart disease equivalent. These kidney patients have just as high a risk of developing a heart attack and dying from it as someone who already had a previous heart attack.
Actually, patients with CKD and end-stage kidney failure requiring dialysis usually die, not from kidney causes, but due to heart-related causes. One who has been on dialysis for several years develop generalized weakness of the heart called cardiomyopathy; and once it reaches a certain point, it might be too late already even if one finally undergoes kidney transplantation.
One dies every hour
Reports from the Department of Health (DOH) state that at least one Filipino dies every hour from kidney failure. There are more than 10,000 Filipinos diagnosed with renal disease every year. Many realize too late that they can have serious kidney problems despite the absence of signs or symptoms.
By the time they do, the kidneys are failing already with a significantly elevated blood creatinine, which accumulates in the blood if the kidneys are no longer able to adequately excrete the waste products of the body. Being waste products, they poison the blood and all the organs when the level is too high and lead to a condition called uremia, which is a potentially fatal condition if dialysis is not promptly done.
What is most unfortunate is that all it takes is a simple urinalysis, a test which probably costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, to diagnose if one's kidneys have already early signs of disease or injury due to whatever risk factors one may have. Waiting until one already has signs and symptoms may be already too late. Any adult who has never had a urinalysis done should have one done immediately.
At the slightest sign of abnormality—like the presence of traces of albumin, red blood cells or pus cells in the urine, one should go to his physician to find out what's causing the problem on the kidneys. Increased awareness on kidney problems can go a long way in saving thousands of people from developing late- or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
In need of dialysis
DOH reports show a continuing rise in the number of patients in need of dialysis. Because this palliative procedure is beyond the reach of many average Filipinos, overall survival is not encouraging.
For patients with ESRD, renal replacement therapy is the only hope to extend one's life. These life-supporting treatments for ESRD include dialysis and kidney transplantation if a compatible donor is available.
In the last 10 years, early hemodialysis of ESRD patients has been advocated in some centers, but recent researches and clinical trials are challenging this practice because of the increased risk of illness and death noted with early compared to late dialysis.
A major challenge
In younger ESRD patients, doing dialysis indefinitely is also not recommended because of the long-term adverse effects which can also lead to premature death. Kidney transplantation is offered as a more ideal option. However, finding a kidney donor is a major challenge.
Contentious ethical issues—particularly the abuse and commercialism—hound what would have been an altruistic act of donating one's kidney to save another's life. This has been the subject of numerous documentaries and investigative reports showing that the poor are at risk of being exploited as donors for a measly sum of 'gratitude' money, with the unscrupulous middlemen getting the lion's share for brokering the kidney donation. It has been reported that kidneys are being sold at half a million pesos, and much more for foreigners.
In June 23, 2010, the DOH came out with Administrative Order 2010-0019—"The Establishment of a National Program for Sharing of Organs from Deceased Donors." The AO highlights the "imbalance of supply and demand" with organ donations, stressing the lack of available kidneys to be transplanted.
Promoting organ donation
The DOH spearheaded the development of a national system of promoting organ donation from deceased donors and sharing of grafts through the Philippine Network for Organ Sharing (Philnos). This agency was intended to eliminate the 'black market' for kidneys by streamlining the transplant protocol and ensuring that the transplant procedures in the country are made equitable and ethical.
Recently, Philnos has been the subject of a congressional inquiry with some congressmen apparently impatient to see concrete results. Current Philnos head, Dr. Antonio Paraiso, explained that they're doing their best despite the limited resources they have and the resistance from various quarters they're encountering. "We cannot implement changes immediately. We are struggling to implement the AO (2010-0019) to the letter despite various oppositions. Certain things are also needed to be improved," said Dr. Paraiso.
We hope Philnos can hurdle all the challenges it's encountering now, for the sake of thousands of patients with ESRD, whose only hope for a brighter future is to have an affordable and successful kidney transplant. Only a just, equitable and ethical system of organ allocation can make this hope a reality for many.

Virginia S. Moore
Virginia Elizabeth Scruton Moore, 94, passed away Wednesday, February 4, 2009, in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, February 7, 2009, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Rev. Raymond McDaniel officiating. Burial will be in Crestview Memorial Park under the direction of Lunn's Funeral Home.
Virginia was born May 28, 1914, in Arkansas City, Kan., the third of four children born to William S. and Isophene A. Hill. She was preceded in death by her husband, Athen E. "Rusty" Moore; and three brothers, William, Robert and Albert Scruton. Her education began in Arkansas City, Kan., and then her family moved to Orlando, Fla., a town of about 5,000 population, and then she moved to Cherokee, Okla. She continued her education in Arlington, Texas, graduating from Arlington High School and then on to North Texas Agricultural College, now University of North Texas.
During WWII she moved to Los Angeles where she was secretary to the President of Sullivan Food and Beverage Co. Her move was motivated by her desire to send money back to her brothers' families who were serving in WWII. It was here she met her future husband at a USO dance.
The couple had to wait for marriage until Rusty returned from his tour of duty in the Philippines. They were married May 1, 1947, in Elko, Nev., where he had a job as manager of the Holt Hotel. It was there he met and became friends with the famous Bing Crosby.
Later, she moved with her husband to Calgary, Alberta, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In 1956, the family moved to Tulsa, Okla., where Rusty went to work for TRECO. After several years, the family moved to Wichita Falls where he opened the Piping Engineering Company.
Her memories of the Great Depression and WWII remained strong in her mind. She recalled heating bricks in the oven for warmth and other traits of frugality and resourcefulness for survival. She had a knack for making occasions special through the simplest of things.
Her children have memories of their mother as an encourager and disciplinarian. She encouraged them to join various clubs such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, band and other organizations. As a disciplinarian, she had her children stand outside the store, cross their arms before they could enter the store, then she said, "Act like ladies and gentlemen. Do not touch anything." She taught responsibility by having her boys deliver the morning paper despite unpleasant weather conditions.
Family memories include the pleasure she and her husband enjoyed in dancing. Often, the family would join them when they rolled the carpet back to "cut a rug" as they called it. The family has heartwarming memories of how she stretched her money so the family never felt they were lacking in luxury. As the month was ending, the supply of groceries had to be stretched and pinto beans became a staple. On special "pinto beans day" the family was treated with Big Red, Orange Crush, Grape Soda and Root Beer. This was the only time the family splurged on these treats.
She also played a role as a "home school teacher" to her children in the preschool years. They learned their colors from cereal boxes, from cooking they learned their measurements, and from various visual games they learned to count clothespins and from Alphabet Cereal they learned to spell.
In her empty nest years, she enjoyed her garage sales and auctions always hoping to find her treasures. She was always involved with her grandchildren. She purchased a house near Notre Dame where she kept her grandchildren after school hours. Her grandchildren remember her as a devoted, loving, attentive grandmother. Recollections of her grandchildren include her being a proper lady, reverent, nurturing combined with a sense of humor and quick wit.
When she moved to Wichita Falls in 1968, she became a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. During her lifetime, she served her heavenly Father faithfully and now is sharing an everlasting peace and happiness in His arms.
Survivors include her four children, Dr. Stephen Robert Moore and his wife Nancy of Franklin, Ohio, Lyle Marshall Moore and wife Tina of Wichita Falls, Texas, Daniel Lee Moore of Wichita Falls, Texas, and Barbara LeAnn Lyne of Wichita Falls, Texas; a sister-in-law, Mary Scruton of Springfield, Ill.; 13 grandchildren; and 4 great-grandchildren.
A Christian Wake was held at 7 p.m. Friday at Lunn's Colonial Chapel.
Memorials may be sent to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Meals on Wheels or Notre Dame Catholic School.

Well... now I feel pretty worthless...
Home for all kinds of humor, satires, parodies, sarcasms and more.
Well... now I feel pretty worthless...
Don't feel bad. With practice and patients, you can bring down prey five times as big as what he/she/it brought.
that cat looks about 5 times the size of that squirrel...
Seriously, I've been feeding stray cats around my apartment because winter is coming and all the delicious food will be hibernating while they will be freezing. This one cat brought me this one chipmunk which was probably the first one he's seen in weeks. Now tell me why a starving cat would give ME his food? Because I'm starving?
Wait cats think we are bald?
dat second hashtag, "giant hairless cat that sucks at being a cat" lawl
On a serious thought, I've had 5 different cats and I can assure you all cats by far aren't "the same". For example: One was EXTREMELY fond of humans, actually followed me around so I picked her up, but hated anything that was another cat. Other is closer to a stereotype dog than to a cat, constantly running around and literally has eaten homework. Other is a textbook scaredy cat and rarely gets off her cat-sized bed.
So, in the perspective of cats, we are all giant hairless cats that suck at being a cat?
We have to show them! We can be the best cats the world has ever seen!! They will regret to have underestimated us!
Stop! Dont give the furry lovers any ideas. Please stop while you can.
it caught a fuking squirrel. props to the cat
It's a ******* chipmunk you dip **** get your facts right!...
Sorry I... I just came back from YouTube so I'm still speaking YouTube language. Forgive me.


text: Amazing Humidifier Turns Any Water Bottle Into A Functional Humidifier May 31, 2013 GADGETS, HOME While the name sounds like a cheap carnival pitch, the Amazing Humidifier is, admittedly, impressive. Able to turn any disposable water bottle into a functional humidifier and mister, it's one of those simple things that just make plenty of sense. Amazing. Created by Korean company State of Amazing Grace (lol, seriously), it's a replacement cap that turns an erstwhile water bottle into a powerful weapon for combating dry air. Just remove the original cap, slot this thing in, hook it up to a power source, and you've got yourself a tabletop contraption ready to fulfill your need for a little moisture in the room. The Amazing Humidifier is a palm-sized device that measures 7 cm in diameter, allowing you to easily pack it into a bag to use as an instant humidifer while you're on the go. It can cap off water bottles of any type, although they recommend bottles with openings that measure between 28 to 32 mm (e.g. Evian) for a snug fit. The catch is, it only powers via a USB connection, so you're restricted to using this at a work desk, unless you have a USB slot on your wall outlet or your car. Still, a functional humidifer that fits in a jacket pocket sounds like a bundle of convenience worth getting behind on. A filter sponge is included that you're supposed to hook up before capping the bottle off, dipping into the water to keep out particulates that could clog the mechanism. Each filter can work for up to three months (more, if you regularly dry it under sunlight). You can learn more about the Amazing Humidifier from the official website. Price is $34. Check It Out One Response Nancy June 11, 2013 That's a pretty good idea! Something I could really use while traveling. I was able to find a cheaper one from a company called Satechi, about $10 cheaper! Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published. Name* Email* Website Comment

We had a really nice time. We would have liked a little more time snorkeling and we also didn't know that they were going to bring people off the boat at Ricks (we didn't bring money). But we did enjoy the trip overall.

Candlelit Mason Jar love
I love the candlelit mason jar design. I used it for my save the dates, invitations, thank you cards and everything in between and extra. It was so easy to personalize and we perfectly with out theme! I wish i had more reasons to use this design.
Beautiful Thank You Cards
Got all my wedding stationary needs from Magnetstreet...save the date magnets, invitation cards, wedding favors and thank you cards, only because I loved them and got lots of compliments from my guests. I found Magnetstreet was the only stationery website where you could design your stationery to fit your needs.
So happy!!
Magnet Street was easy to use and personalize. We changed colors and layouts on our Save the Dates and everything turned out perfect. Shipping was fast and the package it arrived in was even better. We've received many compliments on our Save the Dates! Can't wait to order our invitations!!
They were awesome
The envelope seals were a little larger than I expected, but I still love them. It all goes perfect with my beach themed wedding.
Great label/seal set
We recently ordered these to use for our save the date envelopes, for our upcoming beach wedding. We are very satisfied with the quality of the labels. They look just like the proof. They were easy to customize, and were printed and shipped SUPER FAST! If you don't want to write out your return address on all of your envelopes, I would definitely recommend these labels. Perfect for a beach/ destination wedding.

BOISE Fire crews were busy responding to brush fires around the Treasure Valley Sunday.
Nick Yturri with the Boise district of the Bureau of Land Management said a flare-up of grass fires is unusual for this time of year.
He says it's a concern for fire crews because the 2012 fire season was very active.
Yturri said last year, firefighters were dealing with dead and dry fuels and those conditions have not gone away.
He also tells KTVB the new, green vegetation has not grown in yet.
On Friday, the BLM responded to a 200 acre fire near Blacks Creek Road. Yturri said there have been a total of three major fires this week.
The normal fire season doesn t really hold true anymore, he said. We had a five hundred acre fire in December, this fire the other day, a couple hundred acres in early March so we just urge everybody to use caution with whatever they are doing.
Temperatures in the coming week could reach close to 70 degrees, so Yturri also reminds those out recreating on Idaho lands to be careful.
Another reason this flare up of fires are a problem -- the BLM is not at full staff. Yturri says fire crews don t usually come on fulltime until later in the spring and early summer.
The dry conditions could improve if the valley gets some springtime moisture.
