Royal Haeger/Royal Hickman Horse Vase
I found this Royal Haeger by Royal Hickman Horse Vase at a local flea market. I have not been able to find
one exactly like it on the internet. His head does not sit against his chest and there is no item number on
the base. It does have the 3 holes on the base and the bottom is glazed. Any information would be greatly
appreciated! He stands 12" high.

Hello, I took a look in the Worthopedia for similar horse and other animal vases produced by Royal Hickman. They seemed to sell basically in the $30-70 range. I hope that this is helpful to you.

NEW LONDON, CT-What started out on high noted ended with two straight defeats, as the OEC Lightning Junior Legion went 1-2 at the War at the Shore baseball tournament this past weekend.
Things got off to a good start as the Lightning opened up play with a 3-2 win. Colin Myrick and Shane Goodell alternated on the bump for the blue and white, and limited the CT Gamers to just two runs.
With the bases loaded and score knotted at 2-2, Ryan O'Donell's walk-off hit was the difference as the Lightning won the contest 3-2.
Things would go down hill from there, as they fell to Hartford 5-0 their next time out.
"We just could not put anything together," said coach Jay Gonyaw. "Hartford just pecked away each inning."
The team closed out their time in Connecticut with a 4-0 loss in their final contest

(Transferred from the wiki by Peter)
Welcome to C++ !
I am going to teach you some basics of a very powerfull programming language called C++. C++ is language base on the famous C langugae and was created originally by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 .
Data types and variables
There are seven basic data types in c++ :
- char : character datatype which represents a character like 'A' or '@'.
- int : integer datatype which represents an integer number like 63.
- float: floating point datatype which represents a floating point number like 63.63 .
- double: double precision floating numbers.
- void: valueless datatype
- bool: boolean datatype which has two possible values true or false
- wchar_t wide character which uses 16 bits for representing data.
OK these are the basic datatypes but what are variables ?
A variable is a container which we declare to hold some data for us. A variable is declared like this : datatype variable_name. Here are some examples :
- int no_of_visitors;
- float temperature;
- bool is_registered;
Notice that at the end of each line of the code above there is a semicolon( we put it at the end of every statement to tell the compiler this is a statement.
We can declare several variables of the same type in one statement like this :
type first_variable , second_variable , third_variable ; .
And we can initialize the variables (give them value) when declaring them like this :
type variable_name = value;
Here is an example :
int no_of_users = 63 , no_of_guests = 100;
In C/C++, the names of variables, functions, and various other user-defined objects are called identifiers. These identifiers can vary from one to several characters. The first character must be a letter or an underscore, and subsequent characters must be either letters, digits, or underscores. Here are some correct and incorrect identifier names:
Correct Incorrect first_user 1st_user user_list user..list
In C++ Input/Output(I/O) is done by means of streams. This means you create a stream and link it to a device and use it. All streams behave in the same way even though they are linked to different devices. There are some predefined streams to use : cin and cout . cin which is used for inputing data is linked to the keyboard by default(it can be redirected) and it is used for inputing data . cin stands for console input.
cout on the other hand stands for concole output and is used for printing data on the monitor, since it is linked to the monitor by default.
To use these streams, we should include the file <iostream> first.We do it in this way :
#include <iostream>
This line should be placed on top of your source file. Now we can use the predefined streams like this :
std::cin >> no_of_users ;
To avoid typing std:: before each instance of cin and cout we can add a line before our main funcion like this :
using namespace std;
From now on we can use our known cin and cout freely without typing std:: .

Jump for June Pointer
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
At the height of their fame in the 1970s and '80s, the Pointer Sisters electrified the world with their perky, catchy songs. Years later, we still love listening to them. So today, in honor of June Pointer, we're sharing a few of our favorites.
1973: The Pointer Sisters score their first hit single with "Yes We Can Can."
1977: The producers of Sesame Street ask the Pointer Sisters to record a song that will become a children's TV classic. Yes, that's them singing the Pinball Number Count.
1983: The album Break Out is a massive success, with several hit singles. June sings lead on "Jump (For My Love)."

PORTLAND, Maine (NECN) - Warmer ocean waters are leading New England fishermen to raise their eyebrows when they pull up their nets in the Gulf of Maine.
Fishermen report seeing new species of fish that are normally found
in more southern waters. Black sea bass, butterfish, tilefish and john dory fish all seem to be migrating North. Fishermen and scientists both agree the reason is warmer water.
2012 was an unusually warm year, the ocean temperature increased as much as five degrees, a huge event in terms of impact on the ocean.
This year has been colder, but the signs of change continue. According to John Annala, the Chief Scientific Officer at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, "Ecologically it means something is going to move in to fill the gap left by species moving out, like cod and shrimp are moving out of the Gulf of Maine."
If the territory for many of these fish continues to spread North
it could have a major impact on New England's groundfish industry. The quotas for those fish are held by fishermen South of Cape Cod. There would have to be some restructuring of quota to handle that issue. It hasn't reached that point but as fishermen pull in more and
more species that aren't supposed to be here it looks less like a fluke and more like the future.

Full Moon Hike at IRWS
The sparkle of the full moon on a freshly fallen blanket of snow illuminates the forest like nothing else. With only the moon as our guide, we will hike through the sanctuary woods and enjoy this magical time. Since early January is often one of the quietest times of the year, we should be able to hear the hoots of owls and the howls of coyotes. The light of the moon will also allow us to catch glimpses of nocturnal animals that usually move about in complete darkness. We will then return to the Barn to warm up with some hot chocolate!

NY Rangers @
Florida Panthers
Wednesday, Nov. 26
7:30 p.m., Bank
Atlantic Center
Rangers Record: 12-10-1
Panthers Record: 9-11-0
After a day off for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Rangers
will take on the Panthers in Sunrise, Florida at the Bank Atlantic Center on
Friday. The Rangers, coming off a tough loss against the Tampa Bay Lightening
on Wednesday night, will look to up their game against the slumping Panthers,
only 1-3 in their last four games.
Luckily, there were some positive aspects to come out of
Wednesday's loss for the Rangers. Rookie forward Derek Stepan extended his
scoring streak to five games (2G, 4A), and forward Brian Boyle scored a goal in
his second-straight game to increase his season-total to 10, which is already
the most he has ever scored in an NHL season. It will be interesting to see the
roles Coach John Tortorella give to these two, formerly considered fringe
players, especially as the team's injured players come closer to returning.
The Rangers continue to deal with injuries to captain Chris
Drury, forward Vinny Prospal and defenseman Michal Roszival. Florida forwards
Steve Bernier, Byron Bitz and Rostislav Olesz remain on Injured Reserve.
The goaltending match-up will pit New York's Henrik
Lundqvist, coming off an extremely frustrating game in which he gave up five
goals and took a penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct (Diving), against Thomas
Vokun, coming off an equally frustrating 35-save loss. This game should be
impassioned as each goalie looks to return to form and prove his talent.
Be sure to tune in to this annual Thanksgiving-week

I Feel Jeebus
Over on the Triablogue site, for whatever reason, they rose to the defense of defamation-suit-potential-extraordinaire Frank Walton. I won't link to his site, and I recommend that everyone else refrains from doing so as well, but suffice it to say that those familiar with his antics probably spend an equal amount of time wondering what drugs his parents used during his gestation, wondering what the label "Christian" means to Frank, and regurgitating their lunch in response to his posts.
After my initial response to this satirical article written by Steve about how really I'm just an ass, and Frank isn't so bad, I thought I could handle silently watching as the comments section filled with pejoratives and all the Christ's-blood-drenched love they could muster. Indeed, I even thought I could hold my tongue after Steve pretended I hadn't linked to authorities:
[regarding copyright protection] Hard to tell, but it must be in there somewhere since Danny says it's soWell, the fact that I linked to two copyright experts, Ivan Hoffman, and the law firm Oppedahl & Larson, who also "say so", eluded Steve. Steve stumbled on:
And I'm sure I don't have to remind you all that when you're quoting the average atheist, nothing could be more defamatory to his personal character than to accurately reproduce his very own words.Well, you'll note that Steve didn't bother to follow his own assertion, nor to link to my article on the subject. After my leaving my first response, including much of what I'm writing here, Steve didn't have much to say.
...That is, until someone left this hilarious comment:
Did you know that the photo in your profile is of a gay guy?Steve immediately found the courage to tackle this assertion [that Cary Grant was gay] by quoting at length from carygrant.net, which bases its defense of Cary's heterosexuality on, among other things, the logic that, had Grant indeed been gay, he wouldn't have had so many wives...
Yeah, pretty solid reasoning, I know. Unfortunately for Steve, it appears that Randolph Scott, one of Cary's alleged lovers, confided in George Cukor that he did, indeed, have a romantic relationship with Grant, the first person to ever use the phrase "gay" on film, ad-libbing it in (Bringing Up Baby, 1938). But hey, we're godless, immoral heathens, so it's okay to be gay, it's okay to like Cary Grant, it's even okay to be like Cary Grant [however that was], to be who you are. Hey, we came out of the closet of disbelief, so we can sympathize with anyone who may be torn over such issues...not that I'm saying Steve is, I'm saying anyone.
The love of Jesus led one young man, Bernabe Belvadere, to conclude:
Morgan is a joke. What a little pansy.Now, Berny's profile tells us:
I'm a key figure in a shadow government conclave that seeks to conceal the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials. Just kidding. I'm a 22-year-old student who is in love with Jesus Christ.Berny, just gotta say, I'm up in Gainesville, only about five hours away from you down in Miami. If you ever drive up I-75, stop by the Chemistry Lab Building at UF, go up to the fourth floor, room 409, and we can chat about how "in love" you are with Jeebus, how much of a joke I am, and how much of a pansy. Don't worry, I won't hold my breath waiting. And no, this isn't threatening, I am not implying bodily harm, I am implying that you likely aren't as courageous, and I'm likely not as pansified, in person.
Good ol' American machismo? Perhaps, but at least I'm letting anyone and everyone know where they can find this ol' joke of a pansy, to see if, in person, they feel the same way after making my acquaintance -- that I'm but a joke and a pansy, and, more importantly, if they feel emboldened enough to tell me. Hell, there's nothing like a pixelated screen to give us fightin' words, now is there? Speaking of which, Frank Walton is rather terrified at the prospect of someone finding out where he can be located...all the while calling me "coward". Does that break your irony meter, too?
Well, next Grandpa Charmley comes along and concludes:
Daniel Morgan reminds me of the ghastly teenagers I used to teach. Old man, if you can't express yourself without swearing, say nothinbg at all. You ought to have your mouth washed out with soapy water!That's right, pap! And those damned whipper-snappers better not get on your lawn again, or you'll call the paddy-wagon on the laddies, eh?
Grandpa's legal advice?
Oh, and Mr. Morgan, you lose your control over letters when you send them to someone else.Interesting. So, when you send a letter out in your mailbox, do I get to go intercept it? Hell, you sent it out. When I received a copy of Dennett's Breaking the Spell, I then had the full authority to reproduce it, since it had been "sent" to me? Obviously, I do indeed have the "control", in the physical sense, of what I choose to do with this physical copy, just as others do with any work protected by copyright. But, what the law permits me us to do is pretty clear.
Next? The brilliance of CalvinDude fills the room like incense:
Man, how did those Enron execs miss the "E-mails are copyrighted and cannot be divulged to third parties" legal tactic?Well, I suppose, CalvinDude, that you fail to see the technical difference between reproducing a copyrighted work and the right to privacy in a criminal case. By the way, do you think, CD, that the government may, just maybe, have had to get a warrant to get those emails? Perhaps you should contact the two law offices I cited above to correct them, since you now, in addition to your abundant knowledge of the most recondite theological topics, have apparently garnered a J.D. CD goes on:
But in any case, if we want to talk about "libel" that's not by implication, I think Morgan already engaged in that when he said (see above): "...but I suppose critiquing a lawyer is a little more difficult, since none of you know copyright law from your anal sphincter, eh?" Thus Morgan is not implying but explicitly stating that "none of you" (being the people at Triablogue, since Morgan started with the kind address of "Trilly-boogers:") are intelligent enough to tell the difference between copyright law and their anal sphincter.Hmmm...think that way, and you'd never graduate from law school, my friend. Any statement preceded by "but I suppose..." and ends in a "?" is clearly both a question and a statement of opinion, which is always defended from libel by free speech in America. Frank's statement contained no such clause. Statements of fact are the only possible contenders for libelous standing. It's okay, you probably specialize in divine law, right?
But don't worry, Morgan. I doubt that any of the Triabloguers consider that libel any more than anyone on Earth (besides you) considers what Walton said to be libel.
Well, I read all this, and still did okay holding my tongue, until Gene Bridges wrote:
No blogger is required to open his blog to comments. FYI, Detective, Mr. Morgan does not allow Christians to leave comments on his blog, so what you want Mr. Walton to do, your own Mr. Morgan refuses. He allows those who agree with him to post comments, but not those who disagree. He considers this evangelism.Well, hot damn, that's news to me! Finally, the pressure had begun to mount, and my ears were whistling...I broke, and responded:
That's a lie. And a rather easily demonstrated one. Just go to my blog and read any of the 48 Haloscan comments on the post about Frank.Poor Frank, ever clueless of his hole deepening beneath his feet, sets to work a-digging yet again:
You must consider lying evangelism?
It's "faze", Frank.
Daniel "the coward" Morgan: That's a lie. And a rather easily demonstrated one.Well, thanks, but no thanks. Your desperation to pull people to your blog doesn't faze me though. So, since I was on a roll, I wrote up the following:
Frank Walton: LOL, Now that's a lie. And even more demonstrably illustrated. Mr. Bridges is not talking about your personal blog, Danny. He's talking about the "outofchristianity" blog. You know the blog where you didn't allow me to make my comment? You yourself told me: [he cherrypicks quotes from these emails]
Get it, now? Now why don't you make the phase to these new blogs I have on you.
All,Now, let's see if I [mean old atheist, immoral, litigious!] will get an apology from Gene [humble, apologist, Christian]. Let's also see if the Trilly-boogers continue to make associations and rush to the aid of the likes of Frank Walton. This is getting funnier by the moment.
Perhaps Gene's use of "on his blog" makes me out to be the liar, and not Gene?
If Gene meant "on the outofchristianity blog", which is not mine, but Aaron Rossetti's, then he should clarify his point.
And perhaps he'll want to retract and replace the name "Aaron" for "Mr. Morgan", since I don't set the moderation policy at Aaron's site.
While I am sure Gene needs defending, I would think he doesn't need it from the likes of Frank W. No, I won't be "phasing" over to his blog, and as Frank may or may not have noted, I haven't visited it today, and don't intend to ever deign myself to do so again...it's like a mental quicksand pit which sucks the IQ from your head.
Perhaps Frank's reading comprehension, and Gene's presumption on the matter, proved as shallow as could be predicted, in that their equivocation of the outofchristianity blog as my blog, when it was clearly and explicitly stated to the contrary, was not understood?
Aaron's policy on commenting is his own, as I clearly stated in the emails to Frank and in the page near the top.
Aaron made it clear that he does not want any attempts at evangelism within his forum. It is more "support group" than "invite to apologists"... as if you and yours don't have enough places to graze for that...Aaron does not consider himself a "debater" nor his blog a "debate forum" and thus your puerile attempts at getting him into a debate with Gene Cook are silly. Aren't there enough unbelievers out there for you to waste your miserable life arguing with?Was this so hard for you to understand, Frank? Gene? It's Aaron's site, his policy, his decision.
My own comment policy is simple: wide open. Gratuitous insults and threats will of course run out my patience eventually, but so long as the person has something of substance to say, I will leave it alone.
Therefore, yes, Gene told an untruth. Perhaps he was mistaken, but he still told a lie. That is not my policy, and that is not my site. He said both were. If he just apologizes and retracts, then he can save face. Obviously, Frank not only lost his long ago, he keeps it private while calling others cowards. It breaks even my high-tech irony meter.
Yes, I helped Aaron set up the HTML for his site, and submitted my own testimonial/deconversion account. I did not set his policy on moderation. I am one of three moderators. I follow Aaron's policy, I am not the author of it.
The same logic in holding me accountable for his policy is a demonstration of the mental prowess that keeps you all within the Christian belief system.
Thus, Frank Walton is still the same imbecile, and Gene's presumption was still wrong, should he even have made it "in good faith".
It's still a lie, even if one based on a mistaken presumption rather than of knowing malice. Gene should not have referred to "Mr. Morgan...on his blog...Mr. Morgan refuses" when he should have referred to "Aaron...on outofchristianity.blogspot.com...Aaron refuses policy".
Ergo, the mistakes are his, yet, for whatever reason, here I am defending myself from a lie and an imbecile who tries to make it right. I can forgive Gene's mistaken presumption, but the malicious sort of ignorance Frank displays is intolerable--he was already told this...and yet he defends a lie. And, he won't show his face on his site, nor divulge his location, while I have done both, and he calls me a coward. Oh, the irony...
Poor b-----d.

Jack Goes Boating

Read: The NHL Really Hates Donald Fehr
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that the main focus of the NHL isn't to make a deal but to try and wrangle up enough support from the players to remove Donald Fehr from his position.
"This is a stretch in which ownership and management mean to scare the players into a stampede to either overthrow or sidestep their elected leader. The league is attempting to run out the clock on Fehr. It is doing everything possible within the confines of U.S. labor law to encourage an uprising within the union."
According to Brooks, the owners have been led to believe that Fehr never negotiated a CBA in Major League Baseball and that the players pushed him aside in 2002 and 2006. On this report, Brooks says "This is utter nonsense. But a slur such as this fuels belief around the league that Fehr, like Goodenow before him, simply cannot be dealt with. It deflects criticism from Bettman and ownership to deliver a product to its customers."

Mind-Body Medicine
Saybrook University Graduates First PhD in Mind-Body Medicine: Beth Haggett
Over 30 years ago, as a 19 year old girl, Beth Haggett told her husband that someday she wanted to earn a PhD in Psychoneuroimmunology. When she first heard that Saybrook University was developing a PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine, she jumped at the opportunity and became the first to apply for the new program.
On December 28, 2012, Beth defended her doctoral dissertation, and became the first student to complete the new PhD. Her degree is a "PhD in Mind-Body Medicine with a specialization in Health Care Systems." She achieved her goal within the time frame that she set for herself of three and one half years. Most importantly, because of her mind-body learning, and the self-care that was a component in her mind-body medicine education, her own mental, emotional, and physical health have improved dramatically in the course of her education. Beth's husband and adult children have also benefitted greatly from applying mind-body skills to their lives.
Beth Haggett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Utah, specializing in work with individuals, adolescents, and couples, using a variety of methodologies. She also works as a corporate consultant.
On the personal side, Beth has four grown children ages 30, 28, 25 & 22, a wonderful daughter and son-in law, three grandchildren, and a daughter pregnant with twins. She has been married for 33 years and reports that she is still very much in love with her husband.
Beth wanted to write a dissertation that would be meaningful to herself, and that would be consistent with her deepest values. Beth came from a childhood with significant family dysfunction and adverse experiences; she wanted to understand how her childhood impacted both her desire and her ability to be a good mother. She used "hermeneutic auto-phenomenology" to study the lived experience of motherhood from a first-person perspective, that is, to systematically study the depths of her own experience and her own strivings to transcend the dysfunction of her childhood.
In conducting a phenomenological study, Beth sought out top figures in the field of phenomenology. Beth completed a phenomenologically oriented pilot study, guided by Valerie Bentz, author of Mindful Inquiry in Social Research and Transformative Phenomenology: Changing Ourselves, Lifeworlds, and Professional Practice. She then recruited a dissertation coach, Linda Finlay, author of Phenomenology for Psychotherapists and a specialist in reflexive phenomenology. Her studies with Linda Finlay took her to a seminar in Normandy with Linda Finlay and British Gestalt therapists Ken and Joanna Evans.
Beth's dissertation chair, Lisa Kelly, and a committee member, Donald Moss, both completed phenomenologically oriented dissertations, and have published phenomenological studies. Her final committee member, Connie Corley, is a specialist in qualitative research and narrative inquiry.
The study Beth completed was informative and transformational for her. She prepared herself by extensive reading and study of phenomenology, hermeneutics, first-person methods, and research on motherhood, breaking cycles of abuse, attachment, and resilience. Among other things, her dissertation confirmed two personal theories: 1) there is a personal cost for a woman who breaks the chains of abuse or dysfunction, and 2) the experience of motherhood can be a pathway for developing resilience.

Mole Day owes its existence to an early 19th-century Italian physics professor named Amedeo Avogadro. He discovered that the number of molecules in a mole is the same for all substances. Because of this, chemists are able to precisely measure quantities of chemicals in the laboratory. Mole Day is celebrated to help all persons, especially chemistry students, become enthused about chemistry, which is the central science.

You need make a decision here. Do you want to be moving boxes (getting stuff from suppliers and selling them to customers for a profit) or doing computer support. I would talk you totally out of trying to do computer support. You will end up dealing with people's problems, not computer problems. I've been there, done it. If you want to sell stuff, you would have to stock up on inventory and deal with overhead such as renting a store front. At the rate computer parts get obsolete, you better make sure you can sell stuff fast.
I would definetly try doing some programming. There are websites that you can bid on certain jobs, so you can start small while keeping your job and not having to come up with a major investment.
A few years ago I was running my computer business now I only do programming, making lot better money and having lot less headaches. I advise you skip the computer business stage.
My 2 cents.

I like my own patterns. It's true! I'm really proud of them all and even though there's only a few, I like to call it my collection of patterns.
Anyway, I've been knitting one of my own patterns the past few days.
Zigzag Mitts. They are officially named Zigzag Study Hall: Fingerless Mitts. Sometimes I kick myself for giving them such a mouthful of a name but what can you do? I will keep the name and call them Zigzag Mitts in my head.
As I knit them I also thought about all the things I would do differently if I were designing them now. Might make things more complex…add a few more garter stitch ridges…play with the cast on…
But I really do think they're great and I'm pleased with my design from so long ago, even if I would do things differently now.
I borrowed Cindy's hands for a photo shoot yesterday. Being a designer, she knows that it takes a couple hundred pictures to get one or two shots that are "pattern worthy." We got the shots I was looking for.
The yarn is Reynolds Whiskey and you could probably get two pairs out of two balls if you switch the MC with the CC for the second pair.
Announcement time!
I have updated all my pattern pages so that you can "buy now" or "add to cart" for all the for-sale patterns. You need not worry about being a Ravelry member or being logged into your Ravelry account to make your purchase.
Additionally, free downloads are available to everyone (whereas before they were only free to Ravelry members). So if you don't have a Ravelry account, fear not! Just click on the pattern in the sidebar over there and you will go to the pattern page. At the bottom of the pattern page is a "free Ravelry download" button that will take you directly to the PDF without having the sign into Ravelry.
I hope all these little behind-the-scenes changes make it easier for you! Let me know if anything doesn't work – I've tested my links like crazy, but something could have slipped through the cracks.
Facebook, anyone?
If I'm not on Ravelry, then I'm most definitely on Facebook. Are you? I decided that it was about time to start a Fan Page for zigzagstitch! Part of me thinks that it's just silly, but I did it anyway! If you would like to become a fan, there's a widget in the side bar, or you can click this link. As of press time, most of my fans are related to me and I would like to change that. And if you're in a "become a fan" mood, why not become a fan of paper plates? I did.

Science of a tsunami: 'What we cannot predict is the magnitude'
CORVALLIS, ORE.--They can come with little to no warning--massive, thrashing waves that leave a watery wake of destruction.
"You will see boats and cars being washed to shore."
They're seismic sea waves, also known as tsunamis.
"It seems like we have escaped a big one here...we had advanced warning, as much as like ten hours or so."
Oregon State Professor of Coastal, Ocean and Structural Engineering, Solomon Yim says that much notice is rare.
90 percent of tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Typically they're generated by a shift or movement on the ocean floor creating kinetic energy.
Energy that can propel a seismic sea wave at nearly 500 miles per hour until the wave hits the shore.
"Depending on the bathymetry of the shore, you can have very mild--a few feet of water height, or you can have very destructive events."
The severity all hinges on a country's topography.
Yim says a similar and potentially more catastrophic tsunami will strike in Oregon--it's just a matter of time.
"We should be very concerned about a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest," said Yim. "If a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake occurs we will only have fifteen to twenty minutes because the earthquake will be very close to Oregon."
The "Wave Basin" at Oregon State University's Hinsdale Wave Research Lab is the second largest in the world for tsunami research. While understanding the anatomy of a tsunami is difficult, researchers use labs like Oregon's to make determining when a tsunami will hit a little easier.
"We can predict the arrival time quite accurately. What we cannot predict is the magnitude of the inundation of the wave height."

Video: Sheriff Voutour Press Conference 11am
Video: Witness Talks about Lockport Shooting
Video: Sheriff Voutour's Afternoon Press Conference on Standoff
Video: Suspect in Niagara County Standoff Found Dead
Video: Where Did a Parolee Get a Gun to Shoot His Wife?
LOCKPORT, NY - The Niagara County Sheriff says the suspect in a Wednesday morning shooting on Campbell Boulevard that injured a woman was found dead inside his home.
Niagara County Sheriff James Voutour tells 2 On Your Side LeAnne Tucker, 40, was shot in the face allegedly by her husband Morris Tucker, 44.
She was found in the roadway on Campbell Boulevard.
A witness says LeAnne Tucker was shot in the cheek and the bullet went out the other. He says she was responsive and talking.
Authorities want to know how her husband possessed a weapon. Morris Tucker, 44, was a convicted felon and not allowed to have a weapon. He used a 9 mm high powered handgun to shoot his wife and kill himself.
The origin of the weapon will be traced. New York State Police Captain Steve Nigrelli told 2 On Your Side, "in a crime where a gun has been recovered, we do a trace, we work with our partners from the ATF, and we do a trace. We want to find out from manufacturer, from the first time that gun has been sold, who has possessed that gun legally and how does it go from the manufacturing plant to the hands of a murderer."
"If you are prohibited by law from possessing a handgun and you're thinking about getting one, don't," said Nigrelli. You're going to go down that path again of committing crime and we will catch you and you will be arrested, you will go back to the penitentiary and that is a promise."
Authorities surrounded a home on Campbell Boulevard following the shooting, where Morris Tucker was holed up with the couple's three year old daughter.
Authorities were able to get the child to come to the door, and then get her out of the house, after calling her name over a loud speaker outside. She reportedly told police, "my daddy has a boo boo."
Officers went into the home around 1:15pm and found Morris Tucker inside deceased on a couch. The rifle was nearby.

Read: Slats Put Rangers In A Hole
Larry Brooks, of the New York Post, writes today about the unmovable contracts that the Rangers have and how they are constricting whatever moves they may want to make.
The Blueshirts can't make a meaningful trade because they can't afford to move the few assets other teams actually want.
Brooks notes that the Rangers offered Bobby Sanguinietti to Phoenix for former first round pick Peter Mueller. Mueller only has six points this season and has declined each of his three NHL seasons.
Former Rangers assistant GM Don Maloney rejected the trade and instead asked for Ryan Callahan or Brandon Dubinsky.
…Of course he did, but its also to early for them to give up on Mueller, he is 21. I have long felt that Bobby Sanguinietti would be traded and still do. He has talent that is showing in the minor leagues but that may not translate to the NHL, because of that, he could be used as an asset in a trade to net someone who could be more productive for the Rangers.
Brooks also says that "The Rangers will never win anything with Michal Rozsival either on the roster or in the lineup"
…That is a bold statement to make. Probably true, but still bold.
Brooks also notes, like I wrote in the Gilroy post a few down, about Sather not sending Rozsival down because of the admission of a mistake that he made.


text: Audi looks set to celebrate its new partnership with Ducati. Audi had already teased the fact that an RS5 coupe would be heading to the annual Pikes Peak Hill Climb, but now the company has added even more excitement to its announcement by showing the RS5 alongside a Ducati motorcycle. The pairing at Pikes Peak will celebrate Audi's latest corporate partner; the German car company acquired the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati earlier this year. Based on the teaser photos and video, it looks like both Audi and Ducati will enter in this weekend's Pikes Peak race. The timing is already significant for Audi: twenty-five years ago, Walter Rohrl set a Pikes Peak course record in an Audi S1 rally car. "We are teaming up with Ducati at Pikes Peak to celebrate our common heritage at this iconic mountain," promises Audi. Ducati, meanwhile, posted photos of its race bikes practicing at the famed mountain course, with the accompanying tagline, "New friends Ducati and Audi USA meet at Pikes Peak." The bikes used are racing versions of the Ducati 1200 Multistrada S Pikes Peak model. We should find out exactly what Audi and Ducati have planned for Pikes Peak later this weekend. The races are now scheduled for August 12, having been postponed after wildfires ravaged much of Colorado earlier this summer. Sources: Audi, Ducati Click here for video

MxMo VII
Posted 08 September 2006 - 04:19 PM
To quote Mr. Clarke, "Bloggers and other participants focus on a predetermined theme for each scheduled event, then blog about that theme by a certain date (being sure to notify the event host of their relevant post). Following that date, the host compiles a link-rich roundup of the event, and posts it on his or her blog. Couldn't be easier."
Since I'm sure there are still at least a few eGulleters who might not have blogs, I thought I would start a thread here and encourage you to post your cocktails, ramblings, and pictures. After the deadline, I'll compile a list of the cocktails posted and contact the host of the event with them.
Past themes have included Lemons, Coffee, Pastis, Aperitif Cocktails, Mint, and Grape based cocktails.
The theme for this month's Mixology Monday (or MxMo) is "Goodbye, Summer", with the idea being to, "post whatever drink you've been enjoying this summer and bid it a fond farewell as we head into the apple cider and hot toddy season." The deadline for posting is September 18th at midnight.
Gentle men and women of eGullet, start your shakers!

1 oz. gin
1 oz. orange juice

small handful of basil leaves
Pour it out over ice in a tall glass and top with soda (good) or dry champagne (great). I also experimented with adding a few strawberries to the mix, and called that the Strawberry Blonde.
This photo is of the latter.

As for the Strawberry Blonde, well, I don't love the name but it's probably better than calling the drink the Strawberry Ballet. Then again Prince had a sizable hit with "Raspberry Beret" which is no less silly so who's to say. Of course, I'm a firm believer in "you create it, you name it" so Strawberry Blonde, it is.
...the Ballet.
Shake together with lots of ice:
2 oz. Lillet Blonde
1 oz. gin
1 oz. orange juice
dash orange bitters
small handful of basil leaves
Pour it out over ice in a tall glass and top with soda (good) or dry champagne (great). I also experimented with adding a few strawberries to the mix, and called that the Strawberry Blonde....
Just thinking out loud,

I think I have introduced more folks to the joys of a well made Sazerac than any other single drink this summer.
One especially nice thing about stirred drinks, like the Sazerac, is that, with a big pitcher it is actually easier to make 4 than it is to make 1. And somehow they just seem to taste nicer when you are sharing them with friends.
But, since chrisamirault recently posted his lovely Still Life With Liquor, I thought I'd try something different.
According to legend, the predecessor of the Sazerac was served by Antone Peychaud, when at his pharmacy he either made brandy more palatable by adding his patented bitters and sugar or made his patented bitters more palatable by adding brandy and sugar.
According to Stanley Clisby Arthur in his "Famous New Orleans Drinks & How to Mix 'em" somewhere around 1870 Thomas H. Handy substituted Rye whiskey for Brandy in his Sazeracs and Leon Lamothe started adding a dash of Absinthe to his. Once these two changes were incorporated together, the Sazerac we know today was born.
I've been meaning to give a Brandy Sazerac a try for a while now and thought for this Mixologist Monday I'd give it a try.
2 oz Germain-Robin Fine Alambic Brandy
1/2 tsp. rich simple syrup
dash Peychaud Bitters
dash Verte de Fougerolles Absinthe
Lemon Zest
Usual Sazerac Ritual.
I guess I was hoping this would be a great lost cocktail. Sadly, I am afraid that Handy was right to substitute Rye. The extra spicy-ness of that spirit lifts the drink from "pretty ok" to "outstanding", leaving the Brandy Sazerac nothing more than an interesting historical exercise.

Seven sessions along, Mixology Monday continues to pick up steam. The "Goodbye, Summer" event had the largest turnout to date, with participants taking seasonal concoctions to heart, producing drinks with summery ingredients ranging from watermelon to fresh strawberries to homemade blackberry-infused rum.
Thanks to everyone here who participated!
