She from the town on Steel Harbor where she works at a club called the Hammerhead. This being fact her main job is working as a bounty hunter. Fortunately for her she has a brother (Charlie Kopetski) that is willing to help her.Charlie is blind but he is still a mechanical genius. He helps his sister with her adventures by inventing most of her weapons. Barb Wire turns to her brother for help whenever she needs a new weapon. One trait Barb Wire keeps telling people is "don't call me Babe" The reason for this is that she did not want to be compared to another hero called Babe.As a bounty hunter Barb Wire has chased many bounty's in Steel Harbor as well as Arcadia. In Arcadia she came in contact with the "Woman in White" the Ghost. She and the Ghost became friends but they do have their moments of conflict. Barb is not much for fighting the supernatural. She much more prefers a target she can hit and shoot.Other MediaToo hot to handleBarb WireIn 1996 the film Barb Wire debuted. The film starred Pamela Anderson.

Florian: "You have not seen the last of Ken-Flo"
Authentic Sports Management today issued the following statement from Kenny "Ken-Flo" Florian:
"First, I'd like to thank Jose Aldo for giving me the opportunity to compete for the featherweight title last Saturday. I gave the fight my all, but Jose won that night. I would also like to thank the UFC, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta for their continued support.
I am passionate about mixed martial arts, and I love being involved in this sport. It is incredible to see how much MMA has grown and that, today, there are millions of people who enjoy the UFC as much as I do.
Second, everyone is asking what is next for me. The only response I can give right now is that I'm going to take some time. I want to rest, spend some time with my family and friends, and then evaluate all of my options. I'll speak with Dana, and my manager, Glenn Robinson, and we will figure out my next move. When I make that decision, my fans will be the first to know. One way or another, you haven't seen the last of Ken-Flo!"

Kenny is going to try to make 135.He's gunna challenge Cruz,fail,then retire.lol
No shit dude this guy is like the proverbial gate keeper every time i think of him i think of him crying about how he deserves a title shot and then getting choked out.
hes probaly going to have his daddy buy him the belt…. he's a loser… if you cant hang with the bigdoggs (brazilians) get off the Fn porch!
you F****king dick your acting like being the number 2 guy is easy i would like to see you make the top 100 in any weight class. if being the number 2 fighter makes you a loser then your the biggest f***king disappointment.
Next time we hear from Florian he'll be announcing his move to bantanweight.
His next move is…drum roll……UFC commentator.
Kenny aint a bad fighter i think 135 be very rough for him its tough to make 145 for him
You guys need to stop talkin shit he's a great fighter and I actually thought he won that fight he got robbed
won the fight? what fight did you watch? Aldo landed more, harder shots. and 80% of his take down attempts failed. and when he did take him down Aldo was right back up. AND Aldo mounted him like 3 times in that fight. so how was he robbed?
Ummm NOOO Florian landed more but the he couldnt land many take downs, look at fight metrics before you pump out the bull, and besides Kevin Lole also had Kenny winning
Bro…you must be on some good stuff. You really think Florian won? It obviously wasn't a BJ beat down but Florian didn't win.
I'm gonna act as if you were joking, because I know you can't be serious
Kenny is a great fighter, but will NEVER win a belt in the UFC. If he wants to fulfill his dream of being a champion, he should go to a minor league organization and get his plastic belt there.
Florian won that fight, and Im not the only one who thinks that. Aldo hasn't been the same in his last 2 fights and his next one maybe his last holding the title.
LOL Kenny did not win that fight mate, he didn't do anything accept hump Aldo up against the cage and fail numerous TD attempts.
The only reason I can see for people thinking he won that fight was because Joe Rogan had his head up Kenny's ass the whole fight and was so bias…..
….e.g Kenny's 'lieing flat on his back with Aldo kicking him and JR says "Kenny's good from here"
I do like Kenny though and hope he comes back soon to be used as a gate keeper because thats all he'll be now.
he should replace goldberg as a commentator. would be so much better than that clueless tool
Needs to fire brother. Best coach in corner and brother won't shut up.
Great Comment. My Bro and I have been saying that for quite a while. Kenny's brother is the world chanp at throwing F-Bombs and that's about all.
He should be a judge.
Kenny threw slot more combinations and controlled the clinch pretty much the entire time of the fight it's almost as if the judges gave the fight to Aldo because he was the favor to win these judges suck and there needs to be something done about it
I thought Kenny won that fight too. 3 out of 5 rounds.
were you watching the same fight as i was cause there is no way in hell florian came even close to winnnig three rounds.
Tim You are a nut. Leaning on someone for 2 minutes at a time on the fence should not give you a victory. Even Ken Flo knew he lost. You are the only one that thinks he won. Are you really Kenny's brother. He leaned on Aldo the whole time. Whose face was busted up? Who got mounted 3 times? Who couldn't take down there opponent? Kenny was all those. Jose hit him when ever he wanted. Tim learn something about mma before you talk thanks.
Problem just is that people comment on stuff which they have no clue about. If you dont know how to score a mma fight, please stop commenting on them and embarras yourself! Aldo ofc won that fight and there is no doubt about!
If you think about it doing no damage from mount looks a lot worse then not getting a takedown. Kenny retained guard quick and got back up. Aldo scored well on aggression I'm sure, id give control to kenny for the most part, damage might not be too far apart, MMA is hard to judge Aldo did look better though. I believe kenny could of took the fight if he took that heelhook; I forget which round he got the grips but he let go for some reason. Could of been a different night. Oh well.
to many florian fan boys. let be reall kenny didnt do anything to aldo. he didnt get 3 rounds not even close. he will probably move to another weight class or go to bellator or something and get a belt there. let him be a gate keeper and call it a day. as far as i am concerned you shouldnt get multiple title shots.
Kenny is a very good fighter just not top of the food chain at 155 or 145. That said he's probably gotten as much out of his natural talents as anyone and shouldn't be on the receiving end of snide comments IMHO. The fight was properly scored 4 rounds to 1 for Jose but it was somewhat disconcerting to see Jose be so conservative for the 2nd fight in a row. While it may be smart to not attack more and expose yourself to the counters that were a big part of KenFlo's strategy; I certainly hope he doesn't intend to continue to fight as if he is a Jackson camp fighter. To those who much talent is given much is expected and while Jose has won the last two fights easily I would like to see him to get back to finishing his opponents on a regular basis versus playing it safe like some of his fellow titleholders.
Florian's face was busted up. Aldo landed some really clean and hard shots, but they were overlooked by Florian fanboys Goldberg and Joe Rogan. However, the replays at the end of each round and at the end of the fight clearly showed some clean shots. Florian fought the exact same way he fought BJ two years ago. That doesn't show me that Florian has evolved at all.
Kenny's options are very limited imo. One, if he really wants to hold a belt he can go kicking cans in another organization or overseas, maybe jump on Fedor's card as co-main event! Two; which to me is not an option, he can commentate though in Rio he displayed what an absolute tool he is behind the mic ( plus he aint got that persona and plus it looks like his neck just threw up.) Next move, challenge Cruz, choke, and solidy his title as the " Buffalo Bills of the UFC "……
Nothing wrong with being the featherweight gate keeper..I think the lightweight division has passed him by I can name 10 LW's that would destroy him..
he should stay at FW and be a solid contender, but of course never a champion..he is a good fighter though.
I think Kenflo could have gotten the nod easily, and before you say i know nothing of MMA i have actually been training for 4 years now, And have been watching MMA since 2004. Aldo may have landed more of the harder shots and stuffed the majority of the take downs. But Kenny controlled the majority of the fight with take downs, attempted take downs, and controlling in the clinch and on the cage. He also landed more strikes than Aldo did. And was a little bit more agressive. I had Kenny winning it 3 rounds to 2. But Round 1 was all Kenny, 2 and 5 were Aldos for sure. and rounds 3 and 4 were close. Saying Kenny wasnt even close to getting 3 rounds is absurd. And Kenflo's face may have had a bit more damage than Aldo's but it wasnt like it was as bad as Diego Sanchez after his fight with Kampmann.
Kenny is like the Dan Marino of MMA. Really good, but no gold to show for it.
Please retire already Kenny you can't win in big fights and just because you have been a silver spoon your entire life does not mean you should keep getting handed title shots one after another after one win. many fighters have beaten much better fighters than you have and gone on 6 fight win streaks without getting title shots. time for you to quit sucking on Dana's knob and realize all the favortism and money in the world will never buy you a belt. I have a hard time deciding who is more overrated florian or Fitch (COINFLIP) both need to retire because they will never be the best.
Great fighter, but not good enough to be the best. Best gatekeeper, maybe…
I'll be glad to see Florian go; I'm sick of watching him trying to land elbows and go for the cheap cut stoppages all the time.
Sick of seeing him try to land elbows? I don't get it.

Have used whisker biscuits on my bows for at least 10 years.
By Fishngame
Unless you are a competition shooter, the whisker biscuit is hard to beat for hunting purposes. When stalking, having an arrow ready in my rest and not having to worry about it popping out of it is very nice. I have never had any problems with vanes peeling back. If that's happening to you, maybe you not applying enough glue on when putting your vanes on or you should spend a little more money on a better quality arrow (vanes already on..) setup. I've even used feathers and had no problems. As for accuracy, I'm shooting a 6 inch group from 40 yards just fine. It may slow the arrow speed down some, but as long as I'm hitting where I want to hit and most of my shots are going clear through the animal at 45 yards or less, (not one to shoot farther than that at an animal...) I'm happy.

Grandparents Legal Rights
Who Else Wants To Gain Regular Visitation with Their Grandchildren?
Here is a Method That is Helping "Grandparents" to be "Successful"
The good news is that there are grandparents legal rights to see their grandchildren and if they choose to they can pursue legal help in an effort to exercise those rights. The first step for grandparents is to begin to research what their legal rights are, as this can vary from state to state. This may be especially difficult if your grandchild resides in a different state than you .
These two books represent the
largest volume of current information
and guidance available on this subject.
Next you must determine if there is any legal reasons that you may pursue more than just grandparent visitation rights, are the circumstances there where you should take the next step and pursue grandparent custody? There is much to be considered at this step,
These books have helped thousands of Grandparents help their Grandchildren.
including: Is the parent abusing drugs or alcohol? Is the child frequently left alone? Is abuse suspected? Is the parent dealing with mental or emotional issues?
All of these things must be taken into consideration before further pursuing any legal action regarding custody. Sadly, the laws are strict and the process which a grandparent must go through in order to protect their grandchild can be lengthy and both financially and emotionally taxing on all parties involved.
It is important above all to seek proper legal advice. Every case is determined on a case by case basis, therefore you must pursue your rights through the proper channels in order to be taken seriously and for the results to ultimately end in your favor.
Take some time to evaluate your situation, attempting to remove your emotions from it, before moving forward, be sure to recognize what is and isn't healthy for the child or children involved and then go forward taking the legal actions that may be necessary to establish the best situation and living arrangements for the child or children involved.
As a grandparent, you want what is best for your grandchildren and that is what you must remember as you engage yourself in this often long and discouraging road of obtaining legal rights to either visit or obtain custody of your grandchild. Grandparents legal rights are being put into place in most states.

I have a daughter I have twice rescued from an horribly abusive husband out of state and this time she delivered our granddaughter in calfornia out of fear of him. Once again he is wooing her back and it is terrifying to think she will take that baby there and something bad is going to happen!! I in no way want to raise another child but cannot just stand by and watch her literally risk this little baby's life?! What can be done? If she were forced to get help she would see that it is bad like she does when she leaves….

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Thanks to Greg Galloway that pointed me out this is possible, in this post I want to show how to create a measure local to a session. This could be done in SQL Server Management Studio, even if it is probably not so useful for a Tabular model considering that you can easily define measures local to a DAX query. However, maybe you will have a reason to do that (I can only imagine a long list of measures defined in a session that are used in small queries sent from a client – it could be an idea for custom clients connecting to Tabular that sends many short queries using the same measures, for example a dashboard or a set of charts).
First, you have to connect to Analysis Services by including the Cube=<cubename> in the connection string. By default, the cube name of a tabular model is "Model", so you can use Cube=Model in the connection string. You can do that in SQL Server Management Studio by placing that string in the Additional Connection Parameters, as you can see in the following picture.
Then, instead of using DEFINE MEASURE before EVALUATE statement, like you would do in the following statement:
You can define measures by using the CREATE SESSION statement. Please note that if you didn't set the Cube in the connection string, you would get an error.
CREATE SESSION MEASURE 'Internet Sales'[Internet Total Sales] = SUM([Sales Amount]) MEASURE 'Internet Sales'[Internet Total Product Cost] = SUM([Total Product Cost]) MEASURE 'Internet Sales'[Internet Total Margin] = [Internet Total Sales] - [Internet Total Product Cost]
At this point, you can reference the measures you defined in your DAX query:
I'd be interested to hear whether you find some scenario in which it is useful using this feature!
If you would like to receive an email when updates are made to this post, please register here
Subscribe to this post's comments using
One trick I just figured out is that you can specify the name of the cube inline instead of having to put it on the connection string:
CREATE SESSION MEASURE [Model].'Internet Sales'[MyCalc] = SUM([Sales Amount])
It also looks like session measures aren't documented, so proceed at your own peril!
Very good Greg - thanks!
Just tried
CREATE MEASURE Model.'Internet Sales'[MyCal]=SUM([Sales Amount])
It created a session measure also without having used the SESSION keyword.
Thanks for the feedback, Ari!

"How soft the music of those village bells,
Falling at interval upon the ear
In cadence sweet; now dying all away,
Now pealing loud again, and louder still,
Clear and sonorous, as the gale comes on!
With easy force it opens all the cells Where Memory slept."
William Cowper,
'The Task' (Book VI, Line 6 onwards).
One would think that I, as a Church of England priest, would be able to say the words of the Mass without having recourse to my missal, but memory is a strange thing and despite having said the words every day for more years than I care to remember I, in common with every priest that I know, would not care to celebrate without the book reposing on the missal stand on one side of the altar, for the very familiarity that one has with the words sometimes encourages one to stray off in one's thoughts to some prayer that they have prompted, unbidden, into one's mind. I must confess that my mind wandered in just such a fashion at the midnight Eucharist on Christmas Eve a year ago, in 2011. more>>>

It's the Synthesis
Synthesis is a powerful way to distill information. You can boil down ideas and communicate the key take away. You can take a few ideas and combine them to form something new. Victor Cheng teaches us a formula we can use for synthesis. According to Cheng, Synthesis enables us to communicate in a way that is "concise, integrates detailed analysis of the big picture, and is action-oriented."

The trail of damage after last week's major Vermont snow and ice storm truly reveals the power of Mother Nature, and the remains were devastating from Brandon south, especially for trees.
More than 200 line workers, 90 tree-cutters and hundreds of support staff are making steady progress restoring electrical service to the thousands of Vermonters who lost power last Friday. Power had been restored to over 26,500 of the 35,000 who lost service.
Even though major branches may be broken, foliage might be shredded, or the bark may be torn and gouged, trees have an amazing ability to recover from even the most severe injuries. Accumulations of ice can cause tree limbs to split or break in the treetops, and branches of all sizes can come crashing down at any time especially during high winds.
Follow a few simple procedures immediately after a major storm:
1. Take safety precautions. Look up and look down. Be on the alert and stay away from downed utility lines and dangerous hanging branches that look like they are ready to fall
2. Assess the damages. Evaluate your trees carefully by asking the following questions: Other than the storm damage, is the tree basically healthy and vigorous? Are major limbs or the leader (the main upward-trending branch on most trees) branch still remaining? Is at least 50 percent of the tree's crown (branches and leaves) still intact? Are there remaining branches that can form a new branch structure? If you answered "yes" to the majority of these questions, there is a good chance for complete recovery.
3. Do not try to do it all yourself. Leave dangerous work such as overhead pruning or removing trees, especially large ones, to professionals who are trained in the art and science of caring for and maintaining trees. These are tree care professionals who have achieved a level of knowledge and experience and they are equipped to do the job safely.

Nine graduates with discipline and vision
"Parts of the Sum: MFA 2014,"
Ackland Art Museum, UNC Chapel Hill, through June 1.
With shiny new MFA degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in hand, nine graduates have mounted their final exhibition. The nine -- Ben Alper, Michael Bramwell, Isabel Cuenca, Minjin Kang, Cody Platt, Meg Stein, Lile Stephens, Antoine Williams and Connie Zamorano -- have each mastered one or more of the techniques of painting, sculpture, print making, photography or video and have chosen to use their medium of choice in innovative and unusual ways. They were putting the finishing touches on their work when I visited the gallery.
There is experimentation, like Cuenca's combining the techniques of cyanotype and watercolor to create free-form landscapes that she washed in Jordan Lake. Self-portraiture as a first step in art making is another path some have taken, but their examples are as different from the classical image of the artist before the easel as the computer is from the manual typewriter.
Platt works three-dimensionally and he begins his examination of portraiture by presenting himself as a clownish rag doll, and while he laughs at himself, he questions his own self-image, and I suspect many in the audience see parts of themselves in his outlandish figure.
Antoine Williams does not call his investigation of stereotypes of black men self-portraits but he is looking at them as an insider. His individual drawings and his large mural depict figures that are half man and half chicken.
There is much of his hometown and himself in the mural; we see it in the tire that hangs from the flat surface (Kelly Springfield was the big employer in his small hometown of Red Springs) and a piece of sheet rock which sits on the floor at the edge of the mural. (As a high school kid he hung sheetrock to make money.) Williams questions his childhood and invites the viewers to think about their own backgrounds.
Alper moves in a different direction. He made a one-year commitment to take a daily walk and make one photograph per day, recording weather conditions and latitude and longitude. He writes he was attempting to make a picture of a place and adds it is probably impossible to catalog a memory. What the viewer takes away is not a picture of a place but of one man's discipline and how that will be of key importance in his next steps in life.
Another lesson in discipline is Bramwell's drawings of the hands of strangers he asked to imitate a letter in the signing alphabet. Bramwell approached people in a shopping mall to make a sign from a book of letters from American Sign Language. He photographed each hand, then reproduced the image in watercolor. We are told not every sign is absolutely accurate, but the point he is trying to make is that the signs of language have very little meaning out of context, without other signs and symbols.
Jasper Johns (b 1930) made paintings of the alphabet and numbers, putting them outside of context. Using the language of the deaf does seem to be different, however; they have to make connections sometimes out of whole cloth. I think Bramwell is on to something.
If we are going to talk about discipline then Zamorano's 84 drawings of the travels of one ant per one square of paper has to get the prize. Zamorano placed an ant on a piece of paper and traced its movements across the surface. Some drawings are fairly simple and some seem like the work of a crazy thing. The more we inspect them, the more fascinating they are.
Stephens is into animation and installations. His video is fashioned after the 19th century political cartoonist Honoré Daumier. The original cartoon depicted the French King Louis Philippe I (1773-1850) as a monster with a huge tongue which lapped up the taxes of the French people. Stephens' variation "Homo Sapien As Gargantua (after Daumier)" shows a fat animated figure gobbling up tractors as fast as they ride up the incline. His installation consists of new and obsolete hardware made into a machine of blinking lights. Here he is all about technology as medium and as hardware.
Stein is a sculptor and a videographer. Her installation consists of two balloon heads on pillows with sheets draped on the floor below. The heads have been blackened with charcoal powder. Just across the space is a Queen Anne table, scraped and carved with additional legs of soft material protruding underneath. In her video she uses all the techniques available so a lamp shade morphs into a strawberry, tongues protrude from chairs, the carpet comes alive and a snail moves a settee slowly across the picture frame. Clearly she has been influenced by the surrealists, but told me she is not saying anything about the viewer's subconscious, just acknowledging that strange things can happen.
Kang's photographs are about rooms filled with objects from estate sales. She said selling things of a deceased person is totally opposite anything in her South Korean background. In her culture, a person's possessions would never go to strangers; they would be destroyed as a mark of respect to the one who owned them. As she became more involved in the sales, she felt she was learning about these unknown individuals. A telling image for me is the vacuum cleaner silhouetted against a double window in an empty room.
These students entered the program already armed with a good deal of artistic knowledge. They came because they wanted a strong faculty who would give them advice and a chance to grow; they wanted the opportunity to create, invent, imagine and produce and they got it. These students may never again have the freedom to use their art in such imaginative ways, but they know they can do it; they also know they have the discipline to do tedious tasks. They will make art one way or the other. I am certain of it.

Elbert County received another dousing of rain recently, and while it wasn't a whole lot, it certainly helped in terms of improving drought conditions in the county.
State Climatologist and Meteorologist Bill Murphey says that the outlook over the last ninety days shows positive news.
"On the departure for normal it's still showing four to six inches above normal in a good chunk of Elbert County", says Murphey. "On the eastern edge of the county it's down to about two to three inches above normal."
He says that things look just a good for a majority of the county on the extended timetables on rainfall.
"If you look further out its closer to the normal amount of rainfall for about the northern half of the county", explains Murphey. "The further south you go in the county you see a deficit over the last six months of about two inches."
Murphey expects the weather pattern to remain consistent over the next few days, but says that the next storm system is not that far out.
"Looks like the next system does not come in until the early part of next week", said Murphey. "I don't see any frozen precipitation with that system, and it seems that it is only going to really impact north Georgia."
Elbert County still maintains abnormally dry drought conditions in the northern part of the county, and moderate drought conditions in the southern portion of the county.

Morrisons considers legal fight over Wadebridge plan
Posted: September 28, 2011|
SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons says it will not give up on building a new store in Wadebridge and may be forced to do battle in the courts.
The retailer has urged Cornwall Council to reconsider its previous decision to approve Sainsbury's application for a new store in the town in preference to Morrisons'.
It is calling for both applications to go back before the planning committee for a fresh decision to be made.
Morrisons has taken umbrage at the way in which the council's strategic planning committee ruled in favour of its competitor in August, saying its plans would have brought many benefits to the Wadebridge community.
Wadebridge Football Club is the main loser as a result of the council's decision.
It had struck a deal to sell Morrisons its land at Bodieve as the site for a new superstore, subject to planning approval being obtained, and in return new training pitches for the community to use would have been created.
Wadebridge and Egloshayle Guides were also hoping for a £10,000 handout to help to pay for the building of a new headquarters.
Morrisons also says Wadebridge School will lose the benefit of a safer access road because of the council's decision to rule against its application and in favour of its rival's plans.
Sainsbury's wants to build a new store, complete with a filling station, on land that the council itself owns at Higher Trenant.
Mark Thompson, development executive at Morrisons, said his company wanted a fair deal from Cornwall Council and urged the authority to formally discuss both applications again.
"We were very disappointed by the strategic planning committee's decision and the manner in which the applications were considered," said Mr Thompson.
"We have requested that Cornwall Council take the Sainsbury's and the Morrisons applications back to committee to be decided again as we feel this is the appropriate way for both schemes to be properly and fairly considered."
However, Cornwall Council has insisted it dealt with the applications on their merits and says it is expecting to be able to give Sainsbury's formal approval for building work to begin once conditions have been agreed.
A spokeswoman for the council said: "The council maintains that the application was decided properly and fairly and that a decision will now follow once all the usual procedures have been completed."
Sainsbury's told the Cornish Guardian it did not wish to comment at this stage.

Pueblo Bonito, "the pretty village," has been known by that name since at least as far back as 1840, and was probably named by Spanish or Mexican soldiers or traders.
Excavation of Pueblo Bonito was begun in 1896 by Richard Wetherill who homesteaded in the canyon, and by George H. Pepper of the American Museum of Natural History. The work was financed by two wealthy young brothers from New York, Frederick and Talbot Hyde, who formed the Hyde Exploring Expedition for the purpose. In four seasons 190 rooms were cleaned out. Research was resumed by a joint National Geographic Society -- U.S. National Museum expedition in 1921 under the direction of Neil M. Judd, who in seven summers completed the excavation of 600 or more rooms and 33 kivas, and made extensive tests in the large trash mound, and in the plaza.
The Bonito Trail is about one-third of a mile long (For metric conversion see table). Along it you will find numbered markers corresponding to numbered paragraphs in this booklet. Please keep off all ruin walls.
1 Pueblo Bonito, probably the largest single prehistoric Indian building in the Southwest at the time it was constructed, represents the highest development of Anasazi architecture. Most of the construction was between the years A.D. 1030 and 1079. The bulk of the wall's thickness was made up of rough, unshaped random stones laid in mud mortar. Then the walls were veneered, inside and out, with the carefully fitted stone you see here. The stone used for the facing, a hard, dense sandstone, was quarried from a narrow band of rock at the top of the cliff behind the pueblo. So much of this stone was used to build the great houses of the canyon that most of it has been removed for a mile east and west of Pueblo Bonito, but in other places the signs of ancient quarrying are still evident.
The small, rectangular openings in this wall were vents for air and light in the lower rooms. The round holes are sockets for vigas, ceiling beams.
2 The large, broken stones here and to your left are what remain of Threatening Rock, a large vertical slab of native rock which once stood separated from the cliff by a wide crack.
Prehistoric masonry at base of Threatening Rock
before it fell -- photo 1896
The people of Pueblo Bonito felt the threat of its fall, for using posts, mud, and stone masonry, they attempted to shore up the rock, or to prevent erosion of its base. Here you can see a remnant of that early attempt. The Navajos, who were not here until long after the last of the Anasazi departed, call Pueblo Bonito "the place where the cliff is propped up", and they relate a tale about their predecessors pouring baskets of turquoise and white shell behind the rock as an offering to the spirits to prevent its fall. When the huge slab finally came down in January 1941, no turquoise was found, but it was discovered that the Anasazi had placed prayer sticks behind the rock. These are peeled and carved willow wands, painted and decorated with feathers, which are still used by Pueblo people somewhat in the way altar candles are used.
3 The rock around you is sandstone of the Cliff House formation, a member of the Mesaverde group of sedimentary rocks laid down in Cretaceous times -- 70 to 80 million years ago -- near the edge of a shallow sea. When the shoreline retreated and the waters became shallower, and fresh or brackish, the sediments were in the form of carbonaceous shale and coal which are exposed across the canyon. The Indians made no use of the coal as fuel, but jet and shale from that formation were made into figurines, beads, and pendants, and decomposed shales were used for pottery clay and for mortar.
4 Here is an overall view of Pueblo Bonito and the more than three acres it covers. The panels in front of you describe the construction sequences. An existing southeast-facing pueblo was used as the nucleus for the grander multi-storied Pueblo Bonito. The symmetry of the ground plan indicates that a well-conceived basic plan was adhered to throughout three generations of remodeling and enlarging.
We don't know the exact number of rooms the pueblo contained because many of the upper walls had fallen during the centuries it stood empty and abandoned, but sections of the rear wall were known to be five stories high, and some estimates run to 800 rooms. However, many of the rooms in the older section were trash-filled to serve as footings for the rooms above, and other rooms were destroyed to clear space for kivas, and it is probable that no more than 600 rooms were usable at any one time. The excavator, Judd, estimated a population of 1,000.
From here, too, you can see the pueblo in relation to its canyon setting and to some of its sister communities. The deep arroyo in the middle of the floodplain was probably a shallow streambed bordered by sedges, willows, and cottonwoods. Otherwise the environment was not much different from what we know today. Garden plots, irrigated both from the arroyo and by runoff water from the cliffs, covered much of the canyon bottom.
A relatively smaller population of Anasazi had inhabited the canyon for at least 500 years when, with the building of Pueblo Bonito and other large communal houses, the population was greatly swelled. The increased demands for wood and water, more intensive cultivation, and the heavy foot traffic on friable soil undoubtedly placed a strain on the environment, but the deterioration of resources alone doesn't explain the total abandonment of the area at about A.D. 1300. It is likely that there were political, or other social factors involved whose traces are hard to find in the archeological remains.
5 This broken section of wall shows its construction of a core of rough stone faced with smaller, selected stones, each having at least three plane surfaces. Note that the wall is thick at the bottom where the entire weight was catried, but is narrower at the top where less strength was needed. The tapering is evidence of prior planning -- the builders knew when they started that they were going to build four to five stories -- but the wall was not erected as a single operation. As the height for each story was reached, beams were built into the wall, and the ceiling was covered to provide a platform from which to work while raising the walls another stage.
6 You are standing near the ceiling level of the ground floor rooms. Rock debris and siding from the canyon wall has buried the lower part of the house. By referring to the ground plan at the front of the booklet you can see that this section of the wall is a "curtain wall" with a narrow, triangular space behind it. Visible in the masonry are the butts of small poles used as tie rods that bridge the opening behind the wall. The space was not a room, but was filled to lend strength to the juncture of the older western section and a new arc of outside wall running east. At the top of the wall to your right you can see timbers built into masonry like reinforcing rods.
At the foot of the cliff behind the ruin are the remains of a kiva and a one-room house built against the rock. There is an interesting petroglyph cut into the sandstone.
7 The doorway in front of you was once plugged with masonry, but it was opened by an early explorer. This section of the pueblo is part of the first construction of Pueblo Bonito behind the older pueblo of the A.D. 900s. Tree-ring dates from the Ponderosa pine vigas indicate that the room was built in A.D. 1038. Peeled willow sticks were laid across the beams and covered with juniper bark, and finally about six inches of packed soil to make a floor for the room above.
The next doorway you pass on your way to Station 8 is now closed with a modern gate. The room behind it was used for a storeroom by Richard Wetherill whose first camp was pitched outside the wall of the pueblo in this vicinity. When Pueblo Bonito was built there were 18 doorways in the rear wall, but all were plugged up by the Indians at some later date so that the only entry into the house was at the south wall of the plaza. For your own safety and preservation of the wall, please do not enter the area behind the fence.
8 The rooms surrounding you are part of the old, southeast-facing pueblo, built between 919 and about 936, over and around which the grander Pueblo Bonito was built 100 years later. Note the cruder masonry and thinner walls. The vertical poles incorporated into the wall in front of you represent an earlier method of construction. Often the poles supported a matting or wattle of small branches which served as lath to hold a thin wall of mud plaster. Later the people used small posts as a frame for stacking hand-molded adobe bricks or stones, and still later began to lay ashlar courses in which the strength was gained by lapping stones across the joints between stones in the course below. When Pueblo Bonito was built, the eastern end of the old pueblo was leveled to make way for new rooms, and some rooms at the southwest end were torn out when kivas were put in.
Hyde Expedition camped behind Pueblo Bonito, 1890s
Many of the old rooms were filled with trash and it is possible that the smaller pueblo was not occupied when the new builders started to work on the later structure. Eight or more of the rooms (including the one you are standing in) had been used as burial chambers for more than 90 individuals.
The burials that have been found in Chaco have been of the people who preceeded the builders of Bonito and the other great pueblos, or of contemporaries of theirs from the many smaller pueblos in the canyon, or of members of a small group that moved into the canyon from the north after Pueblo Bonito was largely, if not entirely, abandoned. So far archeologists have not discovered how, or where, the considerable population that lived in Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl and other large houses disposed of their dead.
The modern roofs in this area protect remains of original ceilings.
9 This open area is the plaza or courtyard. It served much the same function as a town square where ceremonial dances and other group activities took place. Also, when weather permitted, much of the daily domestic work was done here -- shelling corn, twisting cordage, scraping hides, firing pottery, and fashioning tools of stone, bone and wood.
The plaza was divided by a single row of rooms into two courts. Many grinding stones were found in these rooms which served as one of two community centers for mealing corn into flour. Corn was ground on a large troughed stone, the metate (meh-TAH-tay), with a smaller, loaf-shaped stone, the mano. The metates were arranged in a line of bins where several women could work together. Another milling center was in four adjacent rooms in the east wing.
10 The round underground room, a bit over 45 feet in diameter at the floor, is a great kiva which served as a religious center. Its roof, supported by four rubble-filled masonry columns, was 9 feet 7 inches above the floor. Thirty-four niches around the wall above the upper bench may once have held offerings of jewelry and other valued materials, but were open and empty at the time of excavation. The chamber was entered at the north end by a series of stone steps. You may enter and examine in detail a great kiva across the canyon at Casa Rinconada.
Another great kiva in the west court, and the division of the plaza, suggests to some students that the people were divided into two groups, each group responsible for certain ceremonies at different times of the year--summer people and winter people-- as is true of many of the Rio Grande pueblos today.
11 The ordinary kivas let down into this raised terrace served smaller groups than the great kiva. In today's Pueblo villages kivas are used as meeting places by both male and female members of curing societies, as workshops for making ritual equipment, for dance rehearsal, and as sleeping places for boys while they are receiving religious instruction.
Kivas were more numerous than great kivas -- 37 have been identified in Pueblo Bonito -- though not all were usable at one time. The kiva on the left was razed. All the timbers were removed and the open pit was used as a refuse dump by people in nearby rooms.
An architectural trait peculiar to Chacoan kivas is the low bench with from four to ten pilasters made of juniper logs buried in the wall and extending horizontally onto the bench. The pilasters supported the butts of log stringers which encircled the kiva. The stringers held the weight of another, but smaller, circle of stringers, and that circle still another, until 12 to 14 layers of poles in ever-decreasing circles made a dome-like ceiling of cribbing. A nearly intact roof in a nearby kiva was found to have used 350 timbers in its construction.
Close to the wall the ceiling was only about three feet above the floor, but at the center of the room there was an eight to ten foot clearance. The space between the outside of the roof-dome and the wall of the kiva was fllled with earth and rubble to level off a flat court even with the level you are standing on. When these kivas were all in use their presence was indicated only by ladders protruding from rectangular openings which served both as entryways and smoke holes.
The trench in the floor, once covered with slabs of stone, was an air duct. Rising heat from the fire in the round pit pulled fresh air through the duct and down a vertical shaft just outside the kiva wall to provide ventilation.
The smaller kiva on your right, as you proceed along the trail, is unusual in having four tall masonry pilasters. Rather than a cribbed roof, it probably had a flat roof of horizontal timbers to give it an even seven-foot clearance over the entire space.
12 These ground floor rooms were used for storage and were reached from the living rooms above them by means of ladders through open hatchways in the ceiling.
Doorways were closed by leaning large, flat slabs of ground sandstone against sloping collars of masonry in the jambs, or by suspending matting from small sticks in the lintel.
13 The fire-reddened walls in this room resulted from a fire that destroyed the ceiling. The unburned area near the floor shows that the fire occurred after abandonment of the rooms. The earthen floors of the rooms above had leaked through and piled up against these walls. Tree-ring dates from charred beams fallen to the floor indicate construction at about A.D. 1100 -- one of the last additions to be built. The room had been left empty except for three scrapers made from deer bone. Each was beautifully inlaid with turquoise, jet and shell.
Note the diagonal doorway in the southeast corner of the room above.
14 The three doorways in this room have been successively modified by adding new sills, lintels, and secondary jambs, sloped to accomodate door slabs.
The doors may seem small but they were not made for ease of passage, but rather for reduced heat-loss and to make them easier to close off. In fact, the doors of the great Chacoan pueblos were unusually large for Anasazi houses. Typical doorways for the period were narrower and with high sills. The mud plaster on the south wall is original.

15 The doorway in the east wall was plugged with masonry. Such sealed-off doors were common and probably for a variety of reasons as the use of rooms changed and apartments were rearranged. Sometimes grain-storage rooms were temporarily closed with quickly-laid, crude masonry and mortar to render them rodent-proof.
Almost ten feet below this floor is the floor of a kiva which was part of an earlier version of Bonito's town plan. It was filled and buried by this later construction.
16 The T-shaped doorway, though not common, is found from Colorado and Utah south into the mountains of northern Mexico. We can only speculate about its purpose. Of the 32 T-doors remaining in Pueblo Bonito, most are exterior doors facing kiva courts.
17 This well-preserved ceiling is the original one. The freshlooking sawed ends and notches in the beams is where sections were removed for tree-ring dating. The small round holes, less destructive of the timber, are made with a hollow auger bit which removed a core -- the preferred method of taking samples. Seven dates were obtained from the cores and sections in this room. Three of them were cutting dates, indicating the last year of the growth of the trees: A.D. 1077, 1078, and 1079. The construction date was probably 1079 or 1080.
Though this section of the pueblo was three stories high, some of the ground floor rooms were used as living quarters equipped with firepits. Relatively few firepits were found in the ruin, most of them in one story sections, in the open on the edges of the plaza, or next to an outer wall in a kiva courtyard, but there was evidence in the fill of the rooms that others had existed on the upper floors and on the terraced roofs.
18 Above and to the left of the rooms you have just left is another corner window. On the morning of the winter solstice in December the rays of the rising sun shine through this window and strike the opposite corner of the room behind it, a fact that is probably more than coincidental. We know that in the 11th century Indians in Mexico were making solar and lunar observations and calculations that were in some respects more sophisticated than were possible in most of Europe.
The long low ridge in front of the pueblo was the trash dump. It was built up of ashes from the firepits, floor sweepings, construction debris, bones, food refuse, human waste, scraps from craftwork, broken pottery -- everything that was no longer of any use. With only a little imagination one can picture the mound with a band of small, naked children playing "king of the hill", and with foraging turkeys, and dogs burying or digging up bones.

We all remember where we were that fateful day in September when Ali Lohan stepped out with her new face. But despite the drastic and undeniable transformation, those close to 17-year-old claim that the change was all natural. Her agents at Next Model Management attributed the new look to "a growth spurt". Hmmm, do lips and cheek bones go through growth spurts, too?
But now Ali herself is opening up about the controversy, insisting that she never got near the knife. "It's stupid," she told the New York Post's Page Six Magazine. "I don't listen to it. It's absolutely not true. I was cracking up. Because, like, when would I do that? I'm 17 years old," For a start, she claims that her mother, Dina, would never allow such a thing. "I would need my mother's signature, and do you think my mom would ever sign off on that? No!" (Wait, is this the same mother that goes out partying with her fresh-out-of-rehab daughter, Lindsay?)
But it's got to be rough trying to make it as a young model in Hollywood, with temptations at every turn. In fact, the littlest Lohan admits to being offered drugs on occasion. But luckily she remembers her D.A.R.E. training … and her big sister. "I just say no," she says. "I'm lucky enough that I had my sister to learn from. I've seen people do it to her, so I've learned to be like, 'That's stupid, no.' " That's really awesome Lindsay taught her that! But let's hope Lilo didn't teach her about lying, too.

Over at Wired.com, David Kravets writes about an order by a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) judge demanding that the US government begin to declassify its opinions related to the Patriot Act. The order "means the government likely will have to make public opinions surrounding the court's legal interpretations of Section 215 of the Patriot Act," a controversial provision that allows FISC "to authorize broad warrants for most any type of 'tangible' records, including those held by banks, doctors and phone companies."

Gentle disguise and decorated smiles
Living pictures
numerous seeking reliefs
Silhouettes on the hall of fame
Red carpets
Royal blood seal of mystery
Kings and queens congratulation
The new highway
Its written
Alley of pain
Spieling blood on presidential suite
Drawing letters Using Tiberius canvas
Shadows of darken humanity scream in pain
A glass of red wine year 999
Awaits in line hoping all be fine
Healer of souls...
Gentle whisper What is life …?
Smile java eyes
Guided to a world of a relief pain
For a moment I tasted life!
Again who is to be blame?

Daytona population, 61,000, Deltona population 85,200, Port Orange and New Smyrna add another 79,000. Sure Deland is the logical point.

Derby Assembly Rooms' fate lies in the balance - bulldoze or revamp?
Posted: April 16, 2014|
LEADING Derby figures have called for the city council to build a "world-class" new venue in place of the stricken Assembly Rooms – if the cash can be found.They were speaking after the council announced the venue would be shut for at least 18 months following a blaze which tore through the roof of its car park four weeks ago.The authority is now deciding whether to refurbish or replace the building.
Businesses in the Cathedral Quarter have called the shutting of the venue and its car park "devastating" for business.
The city council cannot yet say yet if Derby's Comedy Festival will go-ahead.
And Derby's summer beer festival will be a smaller affair than previous years.

Only now is the true cost of the Assembly Rooms car park fire, that turned the sky black four weeks ago, becoming clear.
The council has said that the 36-year-old venue will be out of action due to an "ongoing assessment of damage" following the blaze.
And it is now looking at two choices – to refurbish at a cost of millions or to completely replace it.Bob Betts, chairman of the city's Active Culture Board, the management group for arts in the city, has joined a growing clamour for a replacement. He said: "If it's an option for the council, then we would prefer that was done."He said that the city's "wish list" still included the need for a "world-class venue", of a similar quality to Derby Arena, which is set to open on Pride Park in February.But he said that this would take investment and that it was "very difficult to assume an insurance pay-out will mean new for old".Alan Grimadell, chairman of Derby Civic Society, said it was time for a cultural venue on that site which offered a bigger capacity than the current 2,000 maximum in its Great Hall. "I've no doubt there are grants out there which can help with this and no doubt the council's officers will be looking into it."
But he said an 18-month closure could be bad news for Derby's cultural offering, with people – especially variety fans – potentially "heading down the A52 to Nottingham instead".
He said: "It can take a long time to get an audience back."
Local historian and author Maxwell Craven said the Assembly Rooms dominated the Market Place as it was "too big for it" and was in a "brutalist" style.
He said: "It would be lovely if we had a new building more in keeping with the site."
But he added that it may be cheaper to refurbish the building and that, if a new venue was built, it might take a money-spinner like flats being built as part of the project to make any scheme viable.
He said: "I do wonder if they might consider moving the building somewhere else with bags of parking and do something else with the site."
It is the car park's closure – "until further notice" – that has caused the most alarm among businesses in the Cathedral Quarter.
Martin Langsdale, chair of the Cathedral Quarter Management Group, said many of the area's firms depended on visitors who parked there.
He said this applied "particularly to the Market Hall and Iron Gate, where businesses have already reported an impact from the car park closure".
Mr Langsdale said: "We believe the council needs to give urgent consideration to addressing the car parking issues and provide an acceptable response to our call for a parking pilot for free on-street parking."
He added that the closure of the Assembly Rooms would also have a negative effect.
Mr Langsdale said: "The Assembly Rooms attracts a diverse audience – who then frequent local restaurants, bars and pubs as part of their evening out – who will be directly affected by this news.
"And the Cathedral Quarter has worked closely with organisers of such events as the popular Derby Folk Festival to bring the vitality of the festival acts on to the local streets – drawing in large crowds to enjoy a range of entertainment which will now be lost.
"The council should therefore consider the alternative use of the Market Place for staging some of the events that would have been held within the Assembly Rooms."
The car parking issue has also been raised by Adam Buss, acting chief executive of Quad, who said he believed the council should take steps to signpost some of the car parks in the city centre.
He said: "It's a concern because it [the car park closure] affects the customer journey for the whole of the city centre. But it's very early to draw any conclusions as to how it will affect us.
"I don't know if this is an opportunity for the council to increase the visibility of some of the car parks with better signage.
"People know about the Westfield car park and Bold Lane but perhaps not some of the smaller ones."
Mr Buss said Quad had contacted bosses at the Assembly Rooms to offer itself as a possible venue for some of the smaller acts affected by the closure.
Among the major events lined up for the Assembly Rooms during the 18 months is the Derby Summer Charter Beer Festival.
Festival chairman Russell Gilbert said that, last year, the event was held in a marquee the Market Place and the Assembly Rooms, but this year was now set only to be held in the Market Place.
He said this was the first time it would not involve the Assembly Rooms itself since 1982.
Mr Gilbert said: "We won't have the same capacity we would have had if we'd had the building."
The University of Derby was due to hold its January graduation at the Assembly Rooms.
It said this would still go ahead and it was "looking for a replacement venue".
Council leader Paul Bayliss said the authority would consider Mr Buss's signs idea.
Asked where the authority stood in terms of an insurance pay-out following the fire, he said: "We are covered for damage to the Assembly Rooms, the car park, and some of the income lost from event cancellations.
"We need to appoint a professional loss adjuster to look into what losses have been incurred.
"There would be an excess, just as there is with any insurance policy like this, so we will need to pay something but the negotiations are going to take quite a few months to work through."
He said the major issue that had led to the longer-term closure was that fire had completely destroyed the "plant room" for the Assembly Rooms, which was on top of the car park, and from where the utilities are run.
He said one complexity was that the new plant room would have to be connected to the Assembly Rooms in a way that meets with "modern building regulations".
And he said it was "possible" that the new Derby Arena, on Pride Park, could host some of the events, following its completion, set for February next year.
The council was asked what would happen to the 45 staff normally working at the Assembly Rooms over the 18-month period but would not comment on this matter.

You are giving Obama too much credit. He didn't destroy the Constitution by himself. He had a lot of help from the Republicans, ie: National Defense Authorization Act.
I do like your idea though, how about "I helped destroy the Constitution."
Why don't you go after the real problem like the alcohol dealers and the idiots who conduct the war on marijuana. For those irresponsible enough to drive while high on pot, their chances of killing someone is a lot less than on alcohol.

I think that CP3 should win it due to the fact he is doing the same thing steve nash did 2 years in a row, by the way no1 expected the hornets to be a game out of first place and for the suns they was an elite team. Its been along time since a point gaurd put up 20 and 10 and that point gaurd was Tim Hardaway . If he can finish the season averaging 20 and 10 that speaks for itself
