What Do You Really Need to Build a Home Propagation Chamber?What do you need to build your own home propagator? Try one large clear or semi-transparent plastic container with a lid. That's all you really need - seriously. You could incorporate mist heads with water lines into the plastic container but for now, especially if you are just starting off with plant propagation, the one storage box is all you need. If you want to add misting capabilities to your box you can find kits at most home improvement stores that can be adapted to fit your needs. Just drill holes where you need to insert the mist heads and add drainage holes in the bottom of the box. I've found that when using the box I only need to water every 10 to 14 days so the mist system doesn't seem that necessary. Otherwise I check the cuttings every couple days for progress or to see if any cuttings are doing poorly.
I Have My Plastic Box, Now What?Most of my plant propagation involves using sand as a medium. I also use (or I should say re-use) quite a few plastic containers. With the plant propagation chamber I can place my prepared cuttings in their own plastic containers directly into the box, water, and then wait. Before too long the cuttings will be taking off. Just make sure the box stays out of direct sunlight or you could bake your cuttings. The plastic box maintains a good level of humidity without drowning the cuttings.

Law Professor to Contribute to Magna Carta Commemoration
Posted: July 24, 2013 at 5:00 am, Last Updated: July 26, 2013 at 7:15 am
By Buzz McClain
George Mason University law professor Joyce Lee Malcolm has been signed by Britain's Magna Carta Trust to contribute to "Magna Carta: The Foundation of Freedom 1215-2015," a book commemorating the 800th anniversary of the signing of "the great charter" at Runnymeade. The Magna Carta limited the powers of the King of England and laid the foundation for constitutional laws and individual rights.
Malcolm's chapter will trace the impact of the document on America. It was an agreement Britain's ruler fought, on the battlefield and in the Vatican.
"Since King John clearly signed the charter under duress, having just lost a battle to his barons and clergy, he appealed to the pope to annul it," she says. "The pontiff obliged, warning that anyone who tried to enforce the promises in the charter would be excommunicated. Happily, that attempt failed, and 800 years later we will be celebrating the foundation of our constitutional liberties."
Malcolm is George Mason's Patrick Henry Professor of Constitutional Law and the Second Amendment. She has published widely on topics ranging from slavery to gun control. The American Bar Association nominated her to contribute to the book.

Cars, Crime, Drinking, DUI / DWI, Police
Not that we're in the business of giving free legal advice, but there are a few things every lawyer should know. Lawyers should know how to handle a traffic stop, for instance. They should know how to handle cops who shout slurs at you from across the street. And of course, lawyers should never snitch.
Some of these lessons come as a shock to laypeople, and even some lawyers who didn't pay enough attention during Criminal Procedure. But high on the list of things that trained attorneys should never do is submit to a breathalyzer test. You don't need to be a DUI defense attorney to know that you don't blow.
The unwritten rule isn't there to protect drunk drivers (okay, it kind of is there to protect drunks who operate high-speed killing machines); it's also there to protect innocent people who don't want to get caught up in the criminal justice system.
An article in today's Washington Post underscores the point: the breathalyzer simply cannot be trusted, and juries can't be trusted to know that…
Look at how many people were wrongly convicted — in part because of breathalyzer results — in Washington, D.C. alone over the past couple of years:
Nearly 400 people were convicted of driving while intoxicated in the District since fall 2008 based on inaccurate results from breath test machines, and half of them went to jail, city officials said Wednesday.
D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles said the machines were improperly adjusted by city police. The jailed defendants generally served at least five days, he said.
Apparently, the calibrations weren't even close to being correct:
The District's badly calibrated equipment would show a driver's blood-alcohol content to be about 20 percent higher than it actually was, Nickles said.
That is just unacceptable; are we sure that only 400 people got screwed by this?
The flawed testing does not jeopardize cases involving accidents or injuries, including fatal crashes, because blood or urine samples would have been taken as additional evidence, Nickles said.
Nickles said he does not believe the new findings will change the results of the routine DWI cases, either, because officers often relied on field sobriety tests and other observations for their arrests. Still, Assistant Police Chief Patrick Burke said he could see "reduced charges in cases."
If there is a defense attorney in the metro-D.C. area working on DWIs who buys that argument from Attorney General Nickles, then that defense attorney should be disbarred. You're telling us that a breathalyzer result that was potentially 20% higher than it should have been wouldn't influence a person's plea decision or prejudice a jury? You're saying that any number of DWI defendants would have been convicted on the strength of field sobriety tests and "other observations" alone? "Reduced charges"? D.C. courts should be flooded with entirely new trials to the extent that breathalyzer results were heavily relied upon evidence for convictions over the past two years.
Which brings us back to the central point: Don't. Blow. Ever. It's self-incriminating — and potentially falsely self-incriminating — for no reason. If we want to protect ourselves from idiots who drive drunk, the way is to increase penalties on those rightly found guilty, not increase the likelihood that we'll wrongly convict innocent people.
400 drunken-driving convictions in D.C. based on flawed test, official says [Washington Post]

The downfall of this mix is that it's not much longer than half an hour. Now our standard road trip comes in at 2 1/2 hours, with an additional 1 hour 10 minute jaunt occasionally on top of that. If I were to actually think about this list outside of the car, I'd likely add some more songs like Flowers in the Window by Travis or Lover's Spit by Broken Social Scene.
These lists by no means encompass our musical tastes. These are the song found in the middle section of the venn diagram of our iTunes libraries. I love the liberty afforded to me in music selection when driving by myself, with songs like A Plea from a Cat Named Virtue, by The Weakerthans, or Somebody to Love by Queen.. Ok, maybe Scott could handle this list, but what he couldn't handle is a) me screaming along to them and b) me playing them over and over and over and over and over again until I'm hoarse-voiced.
What kind of song make up your favourite driving lists?

This is a fun list! We really like Love Me Do by The Beatles. Our road trip lists consists of so many different types of music too. A little bit of rock, country, classic rock, pop, and just a little bit of old school rap :)ReplyDelete
I usually let the Hubs make a list because he usually includes songs that I can scream - er, sing along to, but also includes some stuff I don't like and some new stuff for me to test out. I don't listen to a lot music in my free time because I prefer quiet more than music.ReplyDelete
We also like listening to podcasts and try to at least finish one a week.
As much as I'm a country music fan I love driving to hip hop and rap, makes me feel pretty bad @$$! I really like a few of these songs and haven't heard the others, will have to check them out!ReplyDelete
PS Your comment on my blog about my muscles made my day, I've been working hard at Body Pump so am glad it's showing :)ReplyDelete

Nonlinearities (wave-wave interactions) play a vital role in many aspects of nearshore dynamics, such as wave shoaling and breaking, wave forces, wave-current interactions, radiation stress effects, and sediment transport. The importance of nonlinearities in the nearshore region cannot be overemphasized. At present, however, there is no wave theory that adequately accounts for these interactions, and field observations are sparse. Herein, the bispectrum is used to investigate the temporal and spatial variation of wave-wave interactions in cross-shore velocity for shoaling surface gravity waves in several nearshore environments. The implications for sediment movement of the sign of the observed wavewave interactions for both the real part of the velocity bispectrum (which is related to the skewness of the horizontal asymmetry) and the imaginary part of the velocity bispectrum (which is related to the skewness of the temporal derivative) are discussed. A parameterization is given for the amplitude and phase evolution of the self-self sum interactions within the wind-wave peak for both planar and barred nearshore topography. The results of this paper underline the potential importance of infragravity wave energy in determining nearshore morphology.

I must say this is the fastest browser i have ever used, the pages are rendered instantly.
I think I screwed up somewhere. But I don't think it's too bad.
I downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.6a.
But when I open my browser with the "shortcut" on the toolbar at the bottom, it still opens the old Mozilla 1.2.1.
Yet I know that I can access my Mozilla 1.6a from
What do I need to do to get my shortcut to point to the new Mozilla?
Did I install it into the wrong directory maybe?
I think in RedHat you can right click on the desktop icon and go to properties to change the path, or if you use the toolbar stuff you should go to Control Center to change it, or you can simply delete the icon or tollbar shortcut and recreate it.
thanks, I managed to change the properties now.
What about firebird?
I installed Mozilla 1.6 on my WinXP box and it's pretty sluggish at start up and browsing. It must be getting bloated.
I tried Firebird and it's way, way faster. I've seen improvement from the last couple of versions. It's alot more solid now. I haven't used Mozilla since.

How to Think About War if you're a Yogi.
I have experienced many practitioners of yoga to have systematically divorced their theoretical approach of matters pertaining to war and violence with actual application, instead holding certain principals of Indian philosophy as an abstraction for some remote time in the future versus the extremely dangerous situation we find ourself in today as a planetary culture. This pertains primarily to the political choices and social affiliations that seem to be popular and in agreement with the yoga community. I found it quite disturbing in 2008 to see the yoga community (I leave myself open to critique by making such a sweeping generalization) and its unabashed support and admiration for the Obama ascent into the American presidency. The completely justified disgust of the deplorable and dangerous actions of the Bush administration left the consciousness of many yogi's vulnerable to a perceived representation of an opposite symbol to Bush's "freedom." Although Obama certainly embodied the perception of the "anti-Bush" through background, race, and alleged philosophical and political ideologies, those with the willingness to confront the actions and associations of this man were quickly disabused of this manufactured dialectic.
The past 4 years have been nothing short of horrific. The American military machine has continued to unleash unmitigated violence throughout the Middle East and covert hostile actions in other parts of the world. And if this was not enough, the recent signing of HR 1540, which now legalizes and institutionalizes the detainment and imprisonment of American citizens without trial. This bill that Obama signed "despite having serious reservations" was almost entirely authored by agents of the military industrial complex, the same agents we hoped Obama would vehemently oppose.
These actions -by an administration that was perceived not only to embody the classical liberal values of the West but even a loose association with Eastern systems of philosophy- have inspired an inquiry for myself into how to view war and violence in the modern context. I honestly wondered how a community that beautifully practices and teaches the virtues of non violence could support a man not that not only systematically uses the violence of the state and associates with individuals deeply connected to the military industrial complex, but then in the most dishonest way claims to be a man of peace.
We are rapidly approaching a situation in which various factors; ecological, economic, cultural, and social are under tremendous stress and could potentially disintegrate into something that not many people could easily confront. In short, we stand as a society on the brink of a possibly disastrous fall into something yet not fully known and grasped due to the sheer scope of its potential. And since we are part of an incredibly violent and suppressive society, we can readily assume that when this deterioration begins to accelerate the use of institutionalized violence will also rise exponentially. This is an actual danger we face not in the far off future but far far closer than we care to imagine.
We should then explore how a yoga practitioner could evolve a practical theory on how to think about war so as to bring about a higher level of awareness that could potentially lead to a shift in the choices we make in regards to the current situation of the American political drama. Who do we support as a community that best embodies a philosophy that fosters a non violent society? Beyond the mainstream media interpretive lens and various PR machines, how do we know if a person's words regarding war and violence match their actions?
A potentially rational justification for violence and war that has its roots in both Natural Law could be the following statement: It is legitimate to use violence only in defense of direct or threatened aggression of one's person or property; it is totally and completely impermissible to commit or threaten violence against innocent people when in the act of retribution against the initial aggressor. War, then, only becomes a justifiable exercise when violence is limited to the individual aggressors.
Let us perhaps simplify this just for a moment independent of any interference from the current State institutions that dominate warfare just to grasp the essence of this theory: Let us imagine a remote island in the Pacific with three individual's. For simplicity purpose let us call them Mr. X, Mr. Y., and Mr. Z. We will say that each of these individual's perform different functions on the island as well each having their own personal property that they "own" only through their own personal effort. (i.e. they each have their own hut that they built with resources they created through "sweat mixed with soil") Mr. X suddenly decides in order to further his own existence he must attack the property of Mr. Y to steal and plunder Mr. Y's goods. If we are to be fair, we must concede that Mr. Y has the right to employ violence against Mr. X to protect his property and defend himself from Mr. X's aggression. Yet we must also say unequivocally say that Mr. Y has absolutely no right to commit violence against Mr. Z because he is friends with Mr. X. His retribution against Mr. X must be limited to Mr. X and Mr. X alone.
The various champions of pacifism in recent history, Tolstoy and Gandhi are memorable examples, have encouraged the symbolic Mr. Y (those individual's that have experienced violence) even in the face of the aggression and violence from the Mr. X's of the world to not respond in kind. This is certainly enlightened and inspiring advice. If Mr. Y were to be such a man and not retaliate against X for his aggression that we can look at Mr. Y as either a man of deep and profound wisdom or potentially a coward. In either case, there must be an acknowledgement that Mr. Y does not have to respond to violence with violence if so inclined. Yet, if Mr. Y were to respond with violence of his own directed solely at X for his initial act against of aggression against his person or property we must honor the right Mr. Y to do so. However, we must also hold Mr. Y accountable that his retribution must not extend beyond the person or property of X. That is to say, he can only "get even" with Mr. X. Mr. Y does have the right to use violence against anyone else.
Now, this sounds all well and good and may even be considered basic common sense and logic, however this theory seems not only sounds ridiculous but nearly impossible to apply in the modem context of geopolitical warfare.
Let us now put this further into application so we can perhaps see the absurdity of our various military theaters and the current "use" of this basic theory of justified war: Sgt. Jackson grew up 50 miles north of Atlanta. He was part of a middle class family where he excelled in football and basketball. Although receiving minor interest from various colleges for his jump shot he decided instead against the wishes of his overbearing mother to join the Marines. Sgt. Jackson, after a rigorous basic training, was sent to the Afghan theater to participate in a variety of military exercises against the Taliban. Growing up in Georgia, Sgt. Jackson had never once met a single Taliban member and it is without any question or doubt that not once has a Taliban member has ever committed violence against Sgt. Jackson at his home in Georgia or aggressed his personal property. Yet, St. Jackson goes on order to commit open violence against the Taliban member he has never met in the name of liberty and freedom.
How can we as a planetary society ever expect real and lasting peace when 99% of the violence in the world is committed by the "Sgt Jackson's" of each and every country that employs institutional violence?
Many people will immediately react negatively to my portrayal of Sgt. Jackson as a violent mercenary. To be fair, although everyone is ultimately responsible for their own existence and actions, I can easily sympathize with Sgt. Jackson and his reasoning for the employment of violence. His entire mental structure has been conditioned from various educational and cultural institutions to both overtly and covertly support state directed violence. I can not blame him for his willingness to participate in "defending freedom" no matter how illogical it may be.
Some will argue that Sgt. Jackson is needed to protect the world from the new Hitler that could emerge at any moment. I will the concede that there is no question to the complexity we face as a planet and the various potentials of destructive leadership emerging. However, the basic point I make is that if every person was to follow this basic policy above in reference to violence, we would have an immediate end to open, state violence and instead be replaced by individual or potentially small group conflict which would be far more manageable and authentic in its scope.
We live in an age of mass violence and a country that specializes in its justification in the name of "freedom." It is systematically supported by both the mainstream left and right no matter the PR that says otherwise. Our own sensibilities that gravitate towards a peaceful and just world are being rapidly overtaken by evil, impersonal forces of great magnitude. The seriousness of the problem can not be overstated and as the economic health of the world will be put in serious jeopardy in 2012 this issue presses even more. The most dangerous theme facing our world today is not the use of violence itself but the passive acceptance of institutionalized violence by a population that ignorantly recognizes war as indispensable to the health of the state.
The art of mindful leadership in the 21st century on the global level should be entirely concerned with both the immediate cessation of institutionalized warfare, the reduction of the various supply chains that support the military industrial complex and the exponential increase in awareness that could inspire each and every individual to exist higher state of understanding in which peace and well being could be a living experience rather than theoretical construction.
I have no strict affiliation to any particular philosophy. I see good points expressed in the theory of perceived opposites such as Libertarianism and Socialism. For me, it is way beyond party affiliation and philosophy at this crucial time in our development. I would support just as easily a liberal Democrat or conservative Republican that I felt was not bought and sold by the corporations that have seized control of our country. The issue of non violence is the issue that matters most in this election. Not only because of the obvious implications but because of all the connected issues that extend from this industry: economics, social programs, jobs, environmental health, inner peace, and countless others.
The Yoga community will hopefully will take this into consideration in 2012.

Another nice article, Brian.
Yes, it certainly seems to me that, in the political world, yoga practitioners should make peace the number one issue and non-violence the ruling philosophy.
A true believer in peace and non-violence cannot in good conscious support anyone who would not dismantle the Military-Industrial Complex, renounce aggressive war, and pull all American troops out of all foreign countries. On the national level, that leaves, pretty much, only two (one of whom seems to be retired for now): Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul.
Why hasn't peace really taken over the Yoga/Buddhist movement? Are y'all waiting for a leader who talks, dresses, and eats like you before making the commitment?
Anyone else out there who talks for peace like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDRfHHDtsg0&fe…
Thank you, Brian.

Your title should read "My Yogi Point of View on War." I respect your opinion and even browsed thru your website. However, while you were slam dunking in Europe, I was in Iraq…and did I mention I'm a yogi? Unfortunately, I can't say much, but comparing what we're doing over there to your SGT Jackson analogy is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Its interesting to see how many people are influenced by movies like Full Metal Jacket. We're not robots, and we can voice our opinion, especially if it's unethical, immoral or illegal. Remember – media entities report what sells with a side of liberal/conservative spin depending on the newspaper you read or the news channel you watch. This is where your getting your information (unless I missed something in your bio). So please, don't tell this yogi what to think about war, because she's been there.
CPT, U.S. Army
I'm all ears: PLease tell me how to think about war.
Can I ask you one question: Did what I write make sense?
I hope I did not come across like "Sgt Jackson" had no thoughts/emotions/ideas of his/her own. I didn't! It was a short essay and I tried to make a point.
I would love to hear back from you! I am interested in our viewpoint
Rachel- I totally get that. But I think by your comment you may have missed the point of the article.
I'm not in the business of deciding what is "good" or "bad" for anyone but myself.
Please read the article again, slowly, if you pass a word you don't know– look it up– so you can really get what I am saying.
I want to say to you: I really understand what you just wrote, but we are talking about totally different things!
Looking forward to hearing back!

Next Update: September 24, 2008
Governor Martin O'Malley presented prizes valued at more than $50,000 to lucky anglers this morning at the 2008 Maryland Fishing Challenge finale. More than 1,100 enthusiastic anglers and their families attended the contest's fourth annual closing event held on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point State Park.
"Maryland anglers make a tremendous contribution to our state's economy and play a significant role in the stewardship of our waterways and our aquatic life," said Governor O'Malley. "The increased participation by children in this year's contest brings hope not only to the future of this beloved pastime, but to the future of our natural resources."
New life was brought to this year's contest, as participation increased from last year's 224 qualifying entrants to 1,345 anglers from 24 U.S. states, Canada, and Brazil this year. New this year, a youth challenge qualified children, who participated in five community fishing derbies held across the state, to win unique guided fishing trips.
Walking away with the two grand prizes selected by random drawing were Fred Menage of Edgewater, Md. and Edir Sauerbronn Dos Santos of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Menage's catch of a 40.25-inch striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay just below the Thomas Point Lighthouse won him a 2008 Toyota TUNDRA from Central Maryland Toyota. Menage, aged 69, weighed his fish in at 24 lbs. at Marty's Tackle in Mayo. Md.
"It was beautiful and delicious," said Menage, describing his catch. "I've been fishing my whole life and this one turned out to be my lucky fish. It's unbelievable and so very exciting that I won this Toyota truck. It will be the first truck I've ever owned."
Dos Santos' first catch ever in the Chesapeake Bay, a 42-inch striped bass caught aboard the Beach Comber out of Chesapeake Beach, Md. landed him a TRACKER boat, trailer and motor package from Bass Pro Shops. Dos Santos was represented by his son-in-law Eric Hoffman of Dundalk, Md. today, who was also aboard for the lucky catch.
"Fishing is a great family activity that enables us all to get out on the water for some good, safe fun," said Hoffman. "Each of us caught great sized fish that day during our families' fishing trip aboard a local charterboat. We are looking forward to going out more on this gorgeous new boat."
Additional finalists, Hunter Betz, an 11-year old angler from York, Pa., Mike Currie of Leonardtown, Md. and James Harrison of Annapolis, Md. won Bill's Outdoor Center prize packages worth $1,500 each, and a $2,500 Boater's World gift card, respectively. A TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch valued at more than $800 was also awarded by Smyth Jewelers to Nathaniel Rowe of Hagerstown, Md.
Lucky young anglers from across the state were awarded guided fishing trips:
The other day I had the opportunity to fly over the lower Susquehanna River and down the upper bay before the airliner made it's turn over Annapolis for the final approach to BWI Airport. I had a pretty good view and one thing that struck me was that I couldn't see anyone out there fishing in a boat. Admittedly it was mid-day on a Monday and it is after Labor Day but wow; to see a big flock of sea gulls below me carrying on with no boats in sight made me think about looking for a parachute. Acres of breaking fish and diving birds and no one fishing on them; just doesn't seem right. In contrast Sandy Hurd took this picture as she and her husband were motoring out of the Sandy Point Boat Basin on Sunday morning. How unfortunate that going to work and earning a living gets in the way of fishing opportunities.
The fishing opportunities are there in the upper bay region as they are in the middle and lower regions. The upper bay fishermen still have a plentiful supply of small spot in the shallower waters and lots of hungry striped bass along the deep channel edges eager to chow down on them. Fishermen are casting and jigging to breaking fish that are comprised of small bluefish and larger striped bass. Trolling small umbrella rigs, spoons and bucktails has also been a good way to catch bluefish and striped bass also.
Middle bay region fishermen are seeing Spanish mackerel, bluefish and striped bass chasing bay anchovies and small menhaden throughout the region. Casting and jigging has been an excellent way to catch the striped bass and bluefish as well as trolling bucktails and spoons. The Spanish mackerel are being caught primarily by trolling small spoons behind planers at higher speeds.
There are still a lot of small spot in the region and fishermen continue to have no problem catching enough for a session of live lining along the channel edges for striped bass despite hungry bluefish who also like to eat spot. Mike Mathwin holds up a beautiful pair of striped bass he caught while live lining spot outside of the Gum Thickets.
Cooler water temperatures are urging striped bass to cruise the shallower areas of the bay and tidal rivers and fishermen are beginning to enjoy some good shallow water action. There are also plenty of white perch in the lower tidal river shallows and some are beginning to school up on some of the oyster bars and shoals. Croaker fishing is starting to drop off as cooler water temperatures have these fish thinking about heading south. Flounder fishing on the other hand remains good in the middle bay region at various channel and point edges as well as shoals and flats. Craig "Abe" Abrahamian holds up a pair he and his buddy Brian Muldowney caught off of Tolley Point.
Freshwater fishermen are seeing cooler water temperatures drawing many freshwater fish such as largemouth and smallmouth bass out of their summer mode of behavior and becoming more active through the day. Fishermen will also see moon tides this week and the bottom of the ebb tide in many of the tidal rivers that hold largemouth bass should offer the best fishing opportunities.
Trout fishing in the western and central regions picks up this month as cooler water temperatures and better flows cause trout to become more active. The flows in the upper Potomac are improving and the heavy grass is beginning to break up making for better fishing. David Weaver sent in this picture of a upper Potomac smallmouth bass he released after showing it to his fishing buddy.
Coastal fishermen are experiencing good flounder fishing in the back bay areas of Ocean City and an influx of large croakers and small red drum at the inlet area has sparked the fishing up several notches. The boats heading out to the wreck sites have been enjoying excellent croaker fishing and fair to good fishing for sea bass and flounder. The few boats that have been heading offshore have been coming back with some impressive wahoo catches.
Young anglers love new rivers the way they love the rest of their lives. Time doesn't seem to be of the essence and somewhere in the system is what they are looking for.

How much would a bottle of ciroc vodka cost?
We found that prices for Cîroc Vodka varied between $29.97 (Cîroc Vodka 750ml), and $59.99 (Cîroc Vodka 1.75L).
Cîroc reports their vodka is distilled from the finest Mauzac Blanc and Ugni Blanc French grapes from the Gaillac and Cognac regions of France.
Using cold fermentation process, a wine is produced which is distilled 5 times to create the vodka. This vodka still has the natural flavor of the grapes for a clean and crisp drink suitable for a vodka tonic or a martini. They claim that no other country can beat France when it comes to making wine, making their vodka superior to all others.
Of interest, beginning this month 1911 Spirits will sell its premium, award winning and small batch vodka onboard cruise ships such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Lines. It is the first small craft product in the United States to be sold on cruise lines. Find out more at CNY Central.

Three arrested in north Dorset over poaching offences
Posted: February 15, 2013|
THREE men were arrested at Tarrant Keyneston and charged with poaching offences.
Inspector Shawn Whitley of North Dorset police said the arrests on Friday afternoon followed a call from a member of the public who became suspicious of their activities.
The men, two aged 22 and 24 from Poole and an 18-year-old from Wool, have been granted bail.
Inspector Whitley said: "We get reports of poaching in the North Dorset area but are often informed too late.
"In this instance the member of the public did the right thing to call us on 999 as the incident was happening and officers acted straight away."

MetroFocus reviews recent news around MTA advertisements, the basic mechanics of MTA's ad system and what it means to have it in your pocket.
The Straphangers Campaign released its 2012 "State of the Subways" report card this week, ranking the Q line as the best and the C line as the worst.
MetroFocus looked at some of the most handy apps to hit the tri-state in the past few years, covering the MTA, mass transit, traffic conditions and more.VIDEO
This MTA project aims to increase rail capacity from Long Island into Manhattan by nearly 50 percent, and save East Side-bound travelers 30 to 40 minutes a day.VIDEO
After coping with the harsh cuts of 2010, straphangers have a reason to celebrate.
City & State profiled transit's major players about the big infrastructure issues.
In the near future, subway riders exiting a station may be able to use their fare cards to use bikes at docking stations.
The bill, passed at the last minute in Congress, received both sighs of relief and strong negative reactions from law makers and transit advocates.

Shaving Against the Grain with Electric Shavers – Yes or No?
Hi Buddy, thanks for your videos. They are really helpful.
Im new to electric shavers and I have just bought the Braun 790cc. On one of your videos you mentioned not to go against the grain but with the grain but I noticed you making up and down motions. Doesn't making upside motion same as going against the grain?
Before watching your videos, I used Braun 790cc and I did not get better results going with the grain. And then I tried up and down motion which gave very good results but I felt my skin getting very rough which I never felt before.
The reason that I have switched to electric razor is that I have ingrown hair and get bumps often. My dermatologist recommended.
Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Yes with electric shavers you should shave against the grain. My video on how to use an electric shaver actually advises you to shave against the grain.
Shaving against the grain may cause some irritation for the first few times, maybe even the first few weeks, but you should get used to it. This is one of the main advantages with using electric shavers because you can get a very close shave with little irritation.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying.
So shaving against the grain won't make the skin rough as traditional razors do?You will get used to it
by: Tyler
Shaving against the grain will give you a very close shave and make your skin very smooth. It should not make your skin rough.
In the video I say to shave up and down, so with and against the grain. This may cause a bit of irritation at first, but you should get used to it.

If the team that wins the toss kicks a field goal on first drive, the other team will get the ball. If the coin toss-winning team scores a TD, it's over.
Here is the story.
If the team that wins the toss kicks a field goal on first drive, the other team will get the ball. If the coin toss-winning team scores a TD, it's over.
Here is the story.
Hi I was wondering if you had heard anything about the commment in this story where they say the Giants training camp is coming back?
I don't like it. The way the rule used to be was fair, if you lost the coin toss, then stop them on defense. With the new rule, lose the toss, give up a field goal, now all of a sudden you are getting four downs because punting is not an option, at least until you get to field goal range.
I heard that only 26% of the time a team wins the coin toss and kicks a field goal to win on the first possesion. To be honest no one has anything to complain about, if your team loses a game without touching the ball in OT you should have scored more points in regulation. Remember sports just like life is not always fair, the sooner we all come to grips with this the better off we are.
Well, I think you heard wrong… it was reported today that 60% of teams that win the coin toss win the game in OT, thats's totally unfair. And no, sports ins't like real life at all… it's a game played in a controlled enviornment with refs.
I for one don't think they went far enough, they should've extended it to the regular season. Then they could look at expanding it next year. This rule now benfits the team that has the ball last instaed of first, albeit slightly.
I think the rule will make for a more exciting OT, with more tough decsions for teams.
It'll probably never happen, but what happens on a safety on the first possession? game over?
This is a dumb rule and it is based on a faulty premise. The question is not how often the team that wins the OT coin toss wins the game, it is how often does that team win the game on the first possession.
One report I saw said that since 1994 (when kickoffs were moved back to the 30), the team that won the overtime coin toss won the game nearly 60 percent of the time. BUT, the team that won the coin toss won the game on the first possession in OT only 34 percent of the time. That means that 2/3 of the time the team that lost the coin toss made a stop and both teams got possession of the ball in overtime.
What this will result in is teams in OT playing the dreaded "Prevent" defense and essentially conceding the field goal (or at least field goal range) to avoid giving up a touchdown.
I would rather see teams have to make a stop.
I hate that a game is decided by a coin toss.
I like the change, but why just for playoff games? Why not regular season games as well?
It is not right to make the change only for the playoffs. If the NFL is going to go by the new rule, it should be the same throughout the year.
This will now make games in the playoffs longer than they already are. Each playoff game is longer than regular season games already.
It's a slight improvement and will add some strategy so I like it better than what the current rules are
I think it is a sensible change, and they should adopt it for the regular season as well.
I think the NFL needed to change the OT rules, but I don't think this is the right change. I've always felt that they should use the college format. Give both teams the ball and let them succeed on both offense and defense to win the game.
I love the idea!!! I think being able to win by a field goal is a huge cop-out. I agree it will be a much more exciting finish and that they should do it for regular season games as well!
I'm in total disagreement with this rule. Especially for playoff football only. When I read this rule change I really thought that it was approved by the N.Y.S. Senate and not the NFL as it was:
A) "Fly by night". Nobody even knew it was up for debate until we read about last night.
B) It goes with the theory of "if it wasn't broke, why fix it"??? N.Y.S. has a habit of ruining things like that all on their own as well. The NFL dominates sports TV ratings in the United States. Dominates. Why impliment silly rule changes?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
You play to win the GAME!!!!!
Handle your business in regulation, end of discussion.
A No-Brainer….makes sense to me….GO GIANTS !
I say we take the foot out of football no more pat ,no more field goal, and while we're at it lets bring back the headslap and hitting over the earhole, and if the QB can't take the heat let him get out of the kitchen, if you call yourself a football player than protect yourself by running away from the rush, that's what a running back has to do. Let's tee this friggin thing up and hit somebody. As a matter of fact I would like to see a team of democrats and republicans go at each other, get rid of all that hostility and maybe we can get something done in this country, now blow the whistle and let's get this mele under way…. I mean really we all know all the other players have no respect for the kicker and they all think the QB is a glorified sissy, let's everyone earn a paycheck………
Usually I prefer the NFL rules over the college rules (15 yard penalty for pass interference is just stupid). However, I think college has it right when there is a tie. Everybody gets at least one chance.
as long as it is for the playoffs, it has no impact on me. I'm a Raider fan.

Video: Johnny Manziel takes his talents to David Letterman
By Adam Kramer Dec. 11, 2012
Johnny Manziel's year has been better than yours. This, of course, isn't exactly a bold statement but we're simply stating the obvious (again): It's good to be Johnny Football.
A 10-win season, stardom, a nickname and a Heisman have this kid absolutely rolling, and he capped off this stretch by appearing on Late Show with David Letterman.
He hosted the Top Ten for evening – dressed to impress, I might add – and continued to enjoy the ride. Also, watching Letterman discuss college football was a treat, and on the topic of treats, Letterman believe's it's in Manziel's best interest to quite school and open up a Dairy Queen.

So the Google Page Rank update seems to be settling down. My sites have be fluxing for about 2 weeks now. A few are still fluxing at the moment but most are starting to become steady. On the plus note just about all my sites have gained at least 1PR. The few that didn't gain at least stayed the same and had subpages raise. Please post comments on how your sites' are fairing in this update.
One thing to note is that it seems Google has fixed the problem with giving two different page ranks to the / and the /index.html. HOWEVER! This is funny. Google didn't seem to fix that problem with the index.php. This forces me to ask one question. What the hell?! Once you figure out how to properly concatenate one how hard could it possibly be to duplicate the process it for the other popular extentions?With the wake of Big Daddy and the PR update I am opening Blue Hat SEO up to site reviews. If you would like to receive some input on your site feel free to either email me or post it as a comment. Whether it be layout reviews or SEO reviews feel free to let me know where your concerns lay and I will be happy to give any help I can. If you email me also be sure to note whether or not you mind your review being posted on BlueHatSEO.com. As long as people don't mind I would like to make the most part of my reviews public incase I happen to find something that may be of help to others.

Anyway, I have a confession to make: I'm really rooting for Brad Boyes this season. Why? Because I don't want him to become another Tim Connolly. It seems that the majority of Sabres fans adopted Boyes as the team whipping boy the minute Connolly
Although all three top lines seemed to show good chemistry in the season opener, I noticed it most with the Ennis-Leino-Boyes line. Playing with two guys that like to hang on to the puck and create chances could do wonders for freeing up Boyes to get into good scoring areas off the wing.
Can't we wait to see how Boyes will click with Leino and Ennis, combined with a return to his natural position and a full offseason to learn the system, before we dismiss him as an eventual trade deadline salary dump?

NEWPORT–Scoring goals in soccer is all about accuracy. In most games that I have watched, there are more balls sent over and wide of the net as opposed to actual shots on goal.
That is why the statisticians keep a "shots at goal" stat.
For Derby Elementary soccer stand-out Emily Willis, things are very different.
Accuracy for her is the normal, not the exception.
Willis is two-time Vermont State Elk's Girl's Soccer Shoot champion, winning the 9-10 division last year and the 11-12 group this year.

To hear accomplished renditions of Mozart, you have only to travel to the elbow of the Cape next weekend to enjoy the Orleans-based Gloriae Dei Cantores's superb performances in a setting that visually and acoustically duplicates the venues of the composer's day.
From April 6 to 9 the Community of Jesus' acclaimed musicians and singers will perform Mozart's Requiem as well as one of his lesser known sacral choral works, the Litany of the Most Blessed Sacrament, in their basilica style Church of the Transfiguration on Rock Harbor.
"For those who want an immediate and enjoyable listening experience, I can't think of a better concert setting," said Gloriae Dei Cantores musical program annotator David Chalmers.
"We are very excited about it for two reasons," he said. "First, this is our group's first main Mozart concert, and it will also mark the release of our first Mozart CD, which we recorded in the church over a three-day period last November." Chalmers says the double-CD, the fortieth in a series by the renowned musical program, features many seldom recorded gems by one of the best known and loved composers.
"Many are familiar with Mozart's Requiem," said Chalmers, "but I think all will be impressed with the seldom performed Litaniae de venerablili altaris Sacramento, which could be the composer's best work of his Salzburg era." Backing the Gloriae Dei Cantores will be a full 35-piece orchestra, which will deliver a rich, full resonance in the acoustically perfect high-ceilinged church.
"Whether you're a classical music aficionado, or someone wanting to hear great music for the first time, this will be a wonderful concert experience," Chalmber promised.
Gloriae Dei Cantores and Vox Caeli Sinfornia present Mozart's Requieum and Litaniae de Venerabili altaris Sacramento in concert April 6, 7, 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. at the Church of the Transfiguration in Rock Harbor in Orleans.
A pre-concert lecture begins at 7 p.m. For tickets, call 508-240-2400.

Pelissero: More likely than ever Matt Kalil is Vikings' man at No. 3
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
INDIANAPOLIS -- Rick Spielman did everything he could at the NFL scouting combine to cast doubt on the Minnesota Vikings' plans for the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft.
He refused to rule out taking a quarterback. He praised Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III as "everything you're looking for" in a franchise signal-caller.
He even downplayed the importance of the left tackle spot the Vikings appear more likely than ever to fill with Southern Cal's Matt Kalil, who might be the safest pick in the draft.
In reality, the Vikings have every intention of sticking with Christian Ponder at quarterback and appear poised to use their most valuable commodity to protect his blindside.
Their general manager's talk of trading down is more than pre-draft subterfuge, though.
"The vision is to get your roster as competitive as you can in '12," Spielman said, "but also, where's your roster going to be in the future?"
All indications are the Indianapolis Colts will draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall pick. Griffin measured and timed well enough here to solidify his status as the favorite at No. 2, assuming St. Louis gets its asking price.
If that happens, the odds drop substantially the Vikings would receive an offer they can't refuse. But what if they do?
What if some team is willing to mortgage a first-round pick this year and next for the chance to come up and snare Trent Richardson or Morris Claiborne or Justin Blackmon or, heck, Kalil himself?
The Vikings are beginning what amounts to a two-year plan for turning over the roster. Left tackle is a core position that must be filled, but it's far from the only issue on a depth chart that has numerous holes, many of them to be addressed through the draft.
"The biggest thing you want to make sure is if you move back, how far you move back, and if you move back too far, you're going to lose an impact player," Spielman said.
"There's going to be a very good first round. It's a very good depth in this draft this year. But if there's a difference-maker and you move too far back and you get out of that difference-maker category, you don't want to do that either."
In other words, the Vikings know how many players have "blue" grades on their board and they'll make sure they get one of them -- whether that's the left tackle at No. 3 or one of the cornerbacks, receivers or defensive tackles who could be available in the next dozen picks or so.
The Vikings are likely to strike in the second tier of free agency, too, with upwards of $10 million of salary-cap space that could more than double through cuts and restructures. Meetings this week between Spielman, coach Leslie Frazier, cap man Rob Brzezinski and ownership will finalize the course there.
Spielman made clear that "we're not going into '12 and thinking it's a throwaway," but he knows the best chance for forging a shortcut on the road back from 3-13 is maximizing the value of the Vikings' highest draft pick since 1968 -- when they took another USC tackle, Ron Yary, who ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"As tough as this year was," Frazier said, "if there was positive, it's the fact that we get a chance to draft in a position where we need some players. We need players."
The Rams could opt to stand pat and take Kalil, giving the Vikings a chance to hold the "RG3" sweepstakes at No. 3. The approach then would be a no-brainer, since Spielman could take a haul and doesn't want to abandon the quarterback he drafted 12th overall last year anyway.
Failing that, only an extra first-round pick in 2013 -- if not more -- seems likely to sway the Vikings from taking the safe route, installing Kalil as their left tackle for the next decade and providing Ponder the protection he needs in what could be another challenging season with a team in rebuilding mode.
"You never know what happens," Spielman said. "When I say we're not only focusing on '12 but the future, you're not going to go out there and say, 'Hey, we're hoping we're 8-8.' No, our goal is to go out there and win a division and hopefully get in the playoffs and see what happens from there."
It's just that it would take a lot of good moves and a lot of good fortune for that to happen in 2012, which is why Spielman can't rule out anything, even if he wants to.
