Few people can resist the delights offered by a pumpkin farm. They're wonderful places for urban and suburban families to slow down just enough to feel the turning of the year and maybe try some harvest or other activities from times past. And, of course, there are the pumpkins themselves — jolly orbs that lay in profusion among pastures until you, the visitor, pick the most perfect among them to take home.
With Halloween almost upon us, most pumpkin farms have gone into high gear, with lots of activities over longer hours, and a host of pumpkins still available for the picking. Included in this listing are working farms and special pumpkin patches in the North, East and South Bays.
South Bay
Farmer John's Pumpkin Farm, Half Moon Bay
This delightful pumpkin patch offers an extremely large variety of pumpkins, all grown on-site. This working farm also features a hay pyramid, scarecrows, play areas, a Native American tipi, cornrows, U-pick sunflowers, and an antique John Deere tractor. The farm is wheelchair-accessible.
Arata's Pumpkin Farm, Half Moon Bay
Open since 1932, Arata's is one of the oldest working pumpkin farms in the Bay Area. In addition to pumpkins, enjoy pony rides, animals, a hay ride, and a huge hay maze — clearly a labor of love — constructed out of 10,000 bales of hay.
Little Creek Ranch Pumpkin Farm, Half Moon Bay
Just up the road from Arata's, Little Creek is a delightful family farm and pumpkin patch suitable for very young children. Pumpkins lay far apart on flat ground, so there are no vines to trip over. The entire pumpkin area is surrounded by low hay bales. There is a play structure and pony rides, along with other animals.
Call Little Creek Ranch at (650) 726-2765 for directions and more information.
Pastorino Farms, Half Moon Bay
Pastorino Farms dates from the 30s and is known today for its huge assortment of pumpkins, along with its big orange-and-black decorated barn. Pastorino offers train rides around a small track, a jump house, pony rides, and a petting zoo. Hand-made signs that identify the many different types of pumpkins, some of them quite unusual. Also nice is the farm's large selection of Halloween decorations and kitchen wares.
Lemos Farm, Half Moon Bay
A working farm since 1942, this popular, charming spot offers lots of activities for all ages, especially young children. In addition to a good selection of pumpkins, Lemos Farm features pony rides, hay rides, a hay maze, a train for small children, a toddler-oriented play zone, haunted houses for older and younger children, and animals you can feed and pet. Lemos Farm retains a great deal of charm from the South Bay's rural past.
East Bay
Smith Family Farm, Brentwood
Smith Family Farm has been in the same family for three generations and offers lots of great old-time activities on its large farm. There's a leisurely tractor-pulled hay ride out to the pumpkin field, a corn maze, a hay maze, displays of antique farm equipment, live entertainment in a barn, a host of animals, and lots of fresh U-pick produce. The farm offers lots of places to picnic and play in a large, varied ranch setting.
Clayton Valley Pumpkin Farm, Clayton
Clayton Valley Pumpkin Farm, at the base of Mount Diablo, features a large variety of pumpkins and squash in all shapes and even colors. This working farm offers lots of fun activities for all ages, including a trackless train, a playland featuring old-fashioned games, and plenty of farm animals. The farm represents a part of the area's rural past that is largely disappearing.
Joan's Farm, Livermore
This large, pretty working farm offers a taste of the Old West: There's an Old West town, gold panning, antique farm equipment, a museum, and more. There's also a large corn maze, hay rides, farm animals, and a farmstand with fresh produce for sale.
North Bay
Peterson's Farm, Petaluma
This working farm opens to the public for Halloween. Families may visit on weekends or after 2 on weekdays. In addition to two large, natural pumpkin fields, Peterson's has lots of animals to feed and pet, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, cows, ponies, rabbits, pigs, calves, and a very big but gentle bull known as Wooly Monster. There are also fresh vegetables, flowers, free-range eggs, and an observational bee hive, all in a very intimate farm setting.
Peter Pumpkin Patch, Petaluma
This large, beautifully situated pumpkin farm in the Chileno Valley is also the home of Spring Hill Jersey Cheese. Visitors can milk a cow or dig for potatoes in a potato field, in addition to buying some of the best homemade ice cream around (pumpkin and vanilla) and specialty farmstead cheeses.
This 30-acre farm has thousands of pumpkins and gourds for the picking, along with U-cut zinnias and sunflowers, and vegetables. Adobe also has a great corn maze, a hay ride, a haunted barn, a jump house, animals, crafts, and food and live entertainment on weekends.
Nicasio Valley Farms, Nicasio
Along with a large, picturesque organic pumpkin patch, Nicasio Valley Farms offers U-pick strawberries, lots of gourds, and a farmstand featuring a complete array of fresh organic vegetables, as well as eggs, breads and cheeses. There is a hay maze, a jump house, musical entertainment and food for sale.

too bad pms are dripping along with their equities. cheers, dave.
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb 20, 2013) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TXG.TO)(TSX:TXG.W.A.) is pleased to report that it continues to intersect high grade gold mineralization over significant widths at both the Media Luna and Media Luna West targets at the Company''s Morelos Gold Project in Mexico. At Media Luna, borehole WZML-07 intersected 36.18 g/t Au over 26.7m; borehole ML-200 intersected 12.58 g/t Au over 6.0m; borehole NEZML-12 intersected 14.71 g/t Au over 5.7m and 5.49 g/t Au over 20.3m; and borehole WZML-16 intersected 4.25 g/t Au over 13.1m. At Media Luna West, borehole MLW-05 intersected 48.0 g/t Au over 2.8m.
Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex stated: "These excellent drill intercepts continue to support the model that the Media Luna Area hosts very large and consistent gold-copper-silver mineralizing systems associated with large magnetic anomalies. Of the 60 boreholes drilled to date into the Media Luna magnetic anomaly, 54 of the boreholes (90%) have intersected skarn alteration containing gold-copper-silver mineralization. At the Media Luna West magnetic anomaly five of the six boreholes drilled to date contain similar gold-copper-silver mineralization. Of particular interest from the 19 boreholes being reported today is the western edge of the Media Luna magnetic anomaly where borehole WZML-07 intersected 36.18 g/t Au over 26.7m. WZML-07 contains the highest gold values intersected in Media Luna to date and is 108 meters to the north of the previously reported ML-35 which contained 30.31 g/t Au over 21.0m. Also released today is borehole ML-115, which has returned the longest potentially economic intercept to date with 124.6m grading 2.45 g/t of Au Eq. ML-115 is also along the western edge of the Media Luna magnetic anomaly and is located over 1,140 meters north of WZML-07. We look forward to further testing of this very prospective, potentially thick, high-grade gold-copper-silver zone located along the western boundary of the Media Luna magnetic anomaly." He added "We also look forward to receiving the permits to extend the network of roads in the Media Luna area which will allow us to drill test the full strike length of the Media Luna and Media Luna West magnetic anomalies. In addition, several additional prospective magnetic targets occur in the Media Luna area and these targets are scheduled to be tested later in the drill program."

My question is how long can this go on before the masses can't take it any more, and how will it end?

After a long delay and reports of its demise, Qualcomm's promising Mirasol display technology finally finds its way into an actual shipping product: Korea's Kyobo e-reader.
In a CES Q&A session with reporters, Paul Jacobs doesn't say a whole lot about the company's new partnership, but does touch on some technologies it's interested in.
Qualcomm acquires a display tech company that may help it advance its development of mirasol displays for smartphones and tablets.
A feature about Barnes & Noble in The New York Times mentions the pending arrival of a fifth Nook device this spring.
After delays, Qualcomm's power-efficient color display technology is edging closer to market.
As 2011 draws to a close, we look back at the year's big trends in Android smartphones and we predict what's to come in 2012.
The pint-sized SNE-50K will be sold only in South Korea at first, but the consumer electronics giant has plans and prototypes for worldwide rollouts.
The millennial computer glitch is belatedly pushing companies to dump outdated gear for new VoIP systems.

Rare Wild Animals Found in India
Article is about some of India's rarest animals that live in the wild today.
Rare Wild Animals Found In India
Black Buck (Antilope cervicapra)
The Black Buck is a species of antelope found in India that are highly endangered. The distinctive horns of the Blackbuck are ringed with one to four spiral turns, and can be as long as 30 inches long. Their body length can reach up to five feet long, and be about three feet in shoulder height. Blackbucks usually roam the plains in herds of 15 to 20 animals, and they are also one of the fastest animals found in India. The main threats to the species today are poaching, habitat destruction, overgrazing, and diseases. Wildlife parks and zoos are currently breeding this beautiful animal to help increase its numbers.
Indian Elephant (Elephas maximus indicus)
The Indian Elephant is a subspecies of the Asian Elephant. They can be found in the wild in the dense forest of India including the tropical forests of South India, North East India, and the Sub Himalayan Region as well. They can grow up to be 12 feet tall, 20 feet long, and weigh up to 5 tons. The lifespan of the Indian Elephant is about 70 years. Rarly seen in the wild anymore, it is believed that less then 50,000 elephants remain in India today. Poaching and loss of habitat are the two main factors that are killing them off and bringing it closer to being extinct in the wild.
Indian Leopard (Panthera pardus fusca)
The Indian Leopard is a leopard subspecies found throughout India. It is one of four big cat species found in India today, and it is critically endangered. The life span of this beautiful creature is about 20 to 25 years. Their head is larger than their body, and the males are usually bigger then the females. Indian Leopards are carnivorous. They feed on reptiles, amphibians, monkeys, rodents, birds, fish, wild pigs, smaller mammals, and many other animals as well. The number of wild Indian Leopards continues to decline due to habitat loss and human poaching.
Indian Lions (Panthera leo persica)
Also called the Asiatic Lion, the Indian Lion is the king of the forest here in India. They are very social animals living in units called prides. A pride of Indian Lions usually consists of one male, two females, and one or two young lions. They prey on deer, wild boars, gazelles, antelopes, water buffalos, and anything else that it has the opertunity to kill. The Indian Lion is a very endangered animal, and this year it is believed that less then 500 lions remain in the wild in India.
Indian Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis)
Confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Indian Rhinoceros once ranged throughout the entire stretch of the Indo-Gangetic Plain but excessive hunting reduced their natural habitat drastically. Today only about 3,000 Indian Rhinos remain in the wild. The Indian Rhinoceros is a great swimmer and very fast runner, reaching speeds of up to 25 mph. Although their eye sight isn't that good, they do have awesome hearing and smelling capabilities that help them survive. The males are much larger then the females, and they can grow to be over 6,000 pounds in weight. Their diet consists almost entirely of grasses, but the rhino is also known to eat leaves, shrubs, fruits, and floating aquatic plants.

Mumbai, April 4: A court here Friday sentenced three people to death for gang raping a photo-journalist in a repeat offence in the Shakti Mills complex here last August.
Vijay Jadhav (18), Qasim Hafiz Sheikh, alias Qasim Bengali (20), and Salim Ansari (27) were Thursday also convicted for gang raping a call centre employee in the same premises barely three weeks earlier on July 31 last year.
Principal Sessions Judge Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi delivered the much-awaited judgment in the case, sentencing the three to death penalty for repeated offences of gang rape – committed July 31 and Aug 22, 2013, said Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.

Panthers 4, Devils 3
(See Corrections and Amplifications item below.)
The Devils controlled much of the game but let the Florida Panthers tie it in the third period and win it in overtime with a goal by Rostislav Olesz in Newark Friday night.
Florida cooled off the Devils, who are 8-1-2 in their last 11. Travis Zajac, Jason Arnott and Mark Fayne scored for New Jersey.
Chris Higgins, Dennis Wideman and Mike Santorelli also scored for the Panthers, who are 2-3-4 in their last nine games.
After the game had been tied in the third, Mr. Zajac made a strong bid for the winner but he hit the post with five minutes left.
Corrections & Amplifications
The Devils' record for the past 11 games was 8-1-2. The article originally stated the record as 8-2-1.

These self-description things are impossible. I´m man in my late 30s, aspiring composer and former charity sector policy/research officer. So I'm a bit corporate and a bit bohemian. Not much of an adventurer or outdoors man. I think I´m reasonably liberal-minded and tolerant. Pragmatic, so not one for extremes. I like classical concerts and I´d like to see an Italian opera (not done that yet). I´ll add to this as I think of things.

We Could See Expectations Fall Now Leighton's Gone; Gareth Evans - Appointed Western Mail Education Correspondent the Week before Leighton Andrews Was Made Education Minister in 2009 - Looks Back on Four Frantic Years for Wales' Schools, Colleges and Universities
Byline: Gareth Evans
B AD luck, I'm back," said Leighton Andrews to journalists waiting outside Welsh Government headquarters in March.
After months of speculation, Wales' most belligerent politician had retained the enigmatic education brief. But, it transpired, he would not hold on to it for long.
Mr Andrews was appointed Jane Hutt's successor as Education Minister in December 2009. New First Minister Carwyn Jones had entrusted one of his closest allies - and campaign manager - with Wales' hottest portfolio.
What followed has been described as a "white knuckle ride" for Welsh education. But it was a rollercoaster the nation's schools system desperately needed.
Mr Andrews was plucked from relative obscurity (he held two deputy roles prior to his promotion) and famously took the first few months after his appointment swotting up on the intricacies of education policy.
In fact, Mr Andrews' meticulous eye for detail and willingness to immerse himself fully into the parallel world of education became a feature of his tenure. Forever researching, he was very rarely caught off-guard.
Looking back over his notable achievements, there are two that stand out. First, Mr Andrews' radical tuition fees policy and decision to subsidise Welsh-domiciled students wherever in the UK they choose to study.
To many, a trebling of tuition fees - approved by the UK Government in 2010 - was a blockade into higher education. There were caveats in place to support those worse off, but prospects of a lifetime in debt proved a bridge too far for many.
Mr Andrews, in a way that no other Welsh politician has done before or since, took on Westminster - and won.
Unfazed by taking on the London-based establishment, he proved, unequivocally, there was another, Welsh way.
His long-running battle with UK Education Secretary Michael Gove was the source of intense media coverage and while qualifications remain a topic of consternation in England, it is testament to Mr Andrews' resolve that GCSEs and A-levels have a sound footing in Wales.
The minister's decision to regrade tainted GCSE English papers soured relations last summer, but although the Welsh Government's role in the fiasco is open to debate, Mr Andrews only ever had the best interests of Welsh students at heart.
Analysis of the minister's four-year tenure would not be complete without reference to the Welsh Government's reconfiguration agenda. The creation of a "smaller number of stronger universities" was always in the offing - but higher education is a notoriously tough nut to crack.
If anyone was going to merge long-standing foes it was Mr Andrews but his high-profile assault on Cardiff Metropolitan University would ultimately prove futile. …

I have 4 students that were out sick today. and I know at least 1 of them is out with the flu. his whole family has it. EEK!!
Yikes!! It is really going around here too
Yikes...I hope you are able to avoid getting it!
Ugh! I couldn't tell you the last time I had the flu before the last 2 years. But since I've had a kiddo in preschool I've had it twice in the last 2 years. First time I was 33 wks pregnant with DS2. That was miserable!! I hope you can avoid it...kids share their germs way too much. I can't remember, what age do you teach?
I teach first graders.. so 6 and 7 yr olds. that like to be extra germy! I feel cruddy but Im praying its because I haven't slept well in a week and still have sinus congestion! it doesnt help that our cruddy nurse doesnt send sick kids home! some kids dont get fevers and therefore they stay in our classroom, despite that we as teachers who stare at them DAILY can tell they are sick! I did get a hold of one of our custodians (thank goodness for facebook!) and she went through and lysol-ed my room for me and was even nice enough to rehide the can for me! I will def remember to do it tomorrow before I leave again! (and if I can get away with it...while they are at lunch too!) (forgot today since I didnt realize I had flu in there) I have a flu shot on its way to the school this week for me. I was iffy, but Im goign to go ahead and get it since it is so rampant already and I hope its in time!
I was thinking you had little ones. Yeah, they really like to share their germs at that age. I was really thinking I should get the shot this year seeing as I've had it the last 2. I've never been one to get it but my exposure level has changed. I've been lazy though and just haven't gone to get the shot. My OB doesn't say anything about it either.
oh no its going around her as well we had like 300 cases in boston which is only 1 hour from where i live. Stay healthy and keep washing your hands
It's bad in TX too and I take care of 0-4 year old's - also exta germy!!! So far we have all been ok. Fingers Xed you and I stay well!!
so today I had 5 kids out and one that was back and said she was throwing up REALLY bad all day yesterday... Um why are you in my room today then??!? 2 of my 3 that were out yestrday we know have flu. so it wouldnt surprise me if the others did too. We hit the magic number and they sent a flu letter home today. AND my flu shot came today before the cut off time for ordering one (I guess my second email stating that I was preg and have kids in my class with flu, how soon would I get it... worked. )
Patience, I think it takes 2 weeks to take effect!

The hardest part is knowing when to let go. To determine that it's not just a moment of miscommunication or a simple difference of opinion on an issue that in the grand scheme doesn't matter. To know that it's more than just a bad time for one or the other. To know this isn't merely a storm, but the permanent quality of your loved one and the foreseeable future of your relationship.
To know that it's over. And upon being sure, letting go.
It is difficult walking away from a relationship. Especially when you have loved them so dearly, or for so long, or have invested yourself in them so much. There's a part of you you will never recover from them. While you might find a new "whole" to be after the relationship is over, it won't be the same you who entered the relationship. And while it may not feel like it now, this is a good thing.
When it's over, and you're confident through an application of logic and the unsettled feeling of an out-of-place heart — as in, this person is just not the right person, even if you love them — then move on, and don't stop.
I've watched many friends split up with their loves and never have I seen successfully both remain consummate friends. Girls can switch off romance and keep friendships, but while their ex boyfriends tell them that they can, too, I can tell you both from experience and knowing guys, that 90% of them are lying.
Ladies, if an exboyfriend says he's fine being a friend with you after you two break up, there's a very low possibility he's telling you the truth, and I can almost guarantee you that every time you go back to tell him about your new "date," that it's eating him up on the inside to see you with someone else. EVEN if he's got another girlfriend.
Unlike women, guys fall hard, and don't fall out nearly as easily. When a woman finally gets over a guy, she's over him. When the romance in her heart dries up, it's like a switch. I've seen it with several of my female friends. It's done, it's over. Even if they had a broken heart, when it dries up, it's gone, and it's gone in a flash. But the guys? If they really had their heart invested, they will take years to fully heal.
If you're a lady reading this and you don't believe me, go ask a guy you know about any of his ex girlfriends. Odds are he'll agree. Now, if he didn't really care about her, he won't really be heartbroken. But then, he's probably a douche who gets girls to fall in love with his "I don't care motif" and likely goes through women like I go through a two-liter of Dr. Pepper.
The lesson?
Women, when you break up with a guy, especially if it's your idea and not his, say goodbye. For good.
Your desire to keep him as a friend so you don't hurt so much will actually prove a very selfish move on your part, and however much he might say he wants to remain friends, what he's really saying — even if he wants to believe otherwise — is that he wants another chance at getting you back. He will flirt with you. He will tease you. He will touch you. He will hope that in a moment of weakness, you'll want him to kiss you, or hold you, or take him back.
Even if in his head he says he wants just to be friends, it's not likely that his heart believes anything of the sort.
Men are possessive in varying degrees, but none like losing a woman if they don't have to, whether they're super awesome nice guys (like me. Sometimes) or somewhat douchy assholes.
And guys, when you end it with a girl, or she ends it with you, don't play the hope game. Unless you have legitimate reason to stay (which every once in awhile pops up, but more often than not is just going to be you deceiving yourself), let go and walk away. It's not worth the heartbreak that hanging around will cause.
Will this prevent pain, longing and loneliness on either part? In the short term? Nope. In the long term, absolutely.
Say your goodbyes, cut the chord, and be done.
I always advocate for clean cuts. It won't be perfect. I've said goodbye to girlfriends that some long time later I tried contacting again out of missing them, but it was short and shallow and we didn't talk afterward, but I feel much better having said goodbye, caved only once a much longer time later, and now am on my way into the future without them, than dragging on and on because I just haven't let them leave my life.
And sometimes going back much later is great, because you're different people, and possibly the kind of people you always needed each other to be.
In the end, saying goodbye may not be perfectly permanent, but making a decision in the now to live a clean life (not morally, just in your dealings), will by-and-large have better consequences for your emotional health.
At least, that's my take on it.

The James Boag Blockbuster Weekend 2011 - One of Tasmania's largest multi class sailing regattas begins its second decade this weekend. Over fifty boats are expected to be racing on two course areas, on Saturday fifth and Sunday sixth of February, spread over Port Dalrymple Bay at Beauty Point.
James Boag Blockbuster Weekend
The Blockbuster weekend was born out of the post Sydney 2000 excitement of Australian sailing's double gold in
the 470 class. In February 2001 the Port Dalrymple Yacht Club enticed past junior member and new Olympic
Gold Medalist Mark Turnbull to return to Beauty Point, at the start of his new Olympic campaign in the 49er
class with Nick Partridge.
James Boag Blockbuster Weekend
From those not so humble beginnings the James Boag Blockbuster Weekend has grown to be one of Tasmania's
must do dinghy regatta's, attracting entrants from all corners of the State and Victoria on occasions.
The regatta has a unique format with five the invited classes all sailing over the same course area with separate
starts, this is the only regatta that sees this combination of classes racing together, providing spectacular action on
the water and a great atmosphere off the water.
As the James Boag Blockbuster weekend heads in to its second decade, it continues to grow with the support shown
by all contesting dinghy classes, and long-time sponsors James Boag, Tamar Marine, and Ronstan.
The racing format is four 15 – 20min races each day, sailed back to back, with separate class starts, the first heat
starting at 1300 on Saturday, with Sunday's racing starting at 1200 followed by a regatta presentation after racing.
Invited and confirmed classes for the weekend are:
• B14 Class – The biggest Skiff class in Tasmania.
• Laser Class – will see a number of Tasmania's top youth sailors fresh from National championships.
• NS14 Class – will see the State's top NS14 sailors racing, as part of their traveler series.
• Sabre Class – back for their third year at the Blockbuster.
• Formula Windsurfer Class – an institution at the Blockbuster, big rigs on small boards stunning to watch.

The Glasgow Electric Plant Board will keep the Tennessee Valley Authority as its power supplier.
EPB directors voted unanimously on the decision, in a meeting this morning, Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2007. As a result, the EPB has retracted a notice, canceling its contract for power purchases with TVA.
EPB notified TVA in 2003, it would shop around for a better deal but disappointments in EPB's search for a cheaper, more flexible supplier of wholesale electric power, led them back to TVA.
This morning's decision was forced to a head by TVA's recent announcement to charge the EPB very large "re-integration fees," if the utility did not agree to retract its cancellation notice by tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2007.
TVA estimated these fees at more than $22 million. The EPB felt the risk of facing these fees, was just too large.
In a similar situation, Warren Rural Electric recently made the same decision to keep TVA as its power supplier.

18 Fascinating Things You Didn't Know About Teddy Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt's legacy encompasses a wide array of remarkable, well-documented achievements – from overseeing the construction of the Panama Canal to helping root out public corruption to dissolving a slew of monopolies as a "trust buster." However, there's a lot more to this titanic figure than that detailed in the history books. Below are 18 fascinating facts about the 26th U.S. President that run the gamut from special awards to his personal pet peeves.
Teddy Roosevelt (1858-1919) was a man of varied interests and notable accomplishments. His name alone conjures up images of a stout, bespectacled man with a brown mustache and larger-than-life personality. Indeed, this revered figure who famously urged Americans to "speak softly and carry a big stick" is remembered as an ebullient politician who vowed to crack down on trusts and corruption, a rugged explorer and ardent lover of the outdoors who was deeply committed to the conservation of natural resources, and an intrepid Colonel who commanded the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry – otherwise known as the Rough Riders – during the Spanish-American War. He is also credited with being the driving force behind the building of the Panama Canal and the founder of the Progressive Party in 1912.
But there's far more to Teddy Roosevelt than meets the eye. Below is a round-up of little-known facts about the 26th President of the United States that you likely didn't learn in history class.
1. Contrary to popular belief, John F. Kennedy was not the youngest president in history to take office. Though Kennedy was the youngest ever to be elected at 43, Teddy Roosevelt was actually 42 years old when he was sworn in following the assassination of President William McKinley.
2. In 1905, Teddy Roosevelt became the first president in U.S. history to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His role in negotiating a treaty to the Russo-Japanese War garnered him this most coveted accolade. Only 3 presidents have won the Nobel Peace Prize since: Woodrow Wilson, for his work in founding the League of Nations (1919); Jimmy Carter, for his efforts to promote world peace and human rights (2002); and Barack Obama, so honored for his commitment to strengthening international diplomacy (2009).
3. Roosevelt is the only U.S. president to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor, America's highest military honor. In 2001, more than a century after the Spanish-American War, President Clinton posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Roosevelt for his heroic charge up San Juan Hill. Roosevelt holds the distinction of being the only president in history to hold both the Nobel Peace Prize and Medal of Honor. Interestingly, his son, Brig. General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., would later receive the Medal for being the first World War II general to land ashore during the Normandy landings on D-Day in 1944.
4. Though Theodore Roosevelt preferred to be known as "Colonel Roosevelt" or simply "The Colonel," it was "Teddy" that ultimately stuck with the public. But Roosevelt found the nickname to be wholly unbefitting of a man of his rank.

There is a mistake in the article. In paragraph 2, it states that there are 3 presidents awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. Yet in paragraph 3, it states that Roosevelt was the only president awarded both the Nobel Peace Prize and the Metal of Honor. That would make it 4 presidents or you need to insert the word "other" in between the 3 and presidents in paragraph 2.

Does anyone else have an addiction to buying movies for your collection? In particular series of movies i.e. Star Wars all of them, Spiderman 1,2,3, X-men 1,2,3, Die Hard 1,2,3, LOTR 1,2,3. Every time I go to Wal-mart and go past the $5 movie rack I am drawn in like a fly on honey. It is like a sickness or something...just wondering if I am the only one who has it???
--Luck of the Cyrish--
Nope, I've never purchased a movie in my life.
In fact I'm visiting family in Las Vegas as we speak and their world revolves around watching television and viewing movies. Its introduced me to a whole new world.
"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." Albert Einstein
"If your worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on" Lance Armstrong
"Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in." Paris Hilton
"Money is one of the greatest instruments of freedom ever invented by man." F.A. Hayek
I'll buy good ones if they're cheap, but i'm not addicted
I haven't counted, but I'm guessing I have around 150-200 DVD's. It's a combination of full price movies I want and the $5 bin at Walmart. Most of my movies are from the bargain bin though, there are a few that I haven't even watched yet. I've also started buying a few BluRays, but only action movies. I don't see much need to buy comedies on BluRay, since the player plays them all anyways.
I also have about 10 movies on my DVR that I haven't watched yet, from HBO, Starz, etc.
That damn $5 DVD rack gets me everytime!

LOTR and SW.
Been playng LOTR demo on PS3 due to come out 15 Jan. Pretty much whole game is free for now for online. Maybe some CFers could get one going on one of the EA servers. The Hawks could be the bad guys and the Clones could be the good guys. They have a Balrog, Trolls, hobbits, wizards, etc.

I only buy the classic collections (Get Smart, MacGyver and NCIS) but we have an addiction to going to movies. I can't stand watching a movie more than once or twice, thus never buy, but instead more than make it up by over-going to movies on opening weekend.

Depends what my ex girlfriend looks like and why she's my ex
And in a couple years, you can buy them all over again in blue ray.
I never bought DVD's, only rare exceptions for certain releases like Shawshank, Scarface etc. But I do find myself buying blu-rays now.

There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams
I wont buy movies unless i know will watch them a lot. Otherwise why buy them when theyll just sit there and get watched once every couple years? Or the technology will leave the collection worthless in 10 or so years.

text: Hey everyone, I bought an 8mm Yugo M48A in nearly perfect condition at a garage sale earlier this summer. Guy who sold it to me gave me a bunch of ammo with clips from the 50's or 60's, which is when I think it was manufactured. I'm assuming the cartridges are corrosive primed since they look so old, plus they are steel bullets. I don't expect to be shooting through any armor any time soon so I went out and bought some Mitchells Mausers 8mm, and they were on sale, so I bought 5 boxes. Only after I got home and noticed the package reads not to use in older arms with 0.318 bores. I loaded the rifle and repeatedly chambered rounds. They chamber slightly more "snuggly" than the old steel bullet rounds that the guy gave me when I bought it. This is especially noticeable when I go to lock the bolt down at the end of its range of motion. It is definately more hard to push the bolt lever in the down possition with the new ammo than with the old ammo. The old ammo racks in and out effortlessly, no "snugness" at the end of the action range on the bolt. So the question is obvious, is this ammo too big for the rifle, even though it's 8mm? The guy I bought it from said he had used Remington 8mm corelock when he used it hunting. I'm not sure if the Remington has the same size bullett as the Mitchells, but those worked fine for him. They worked fine except for the loading problem the shorter, blunt nosed bullets cause with these rifles when chambering. So are these bullets okay for the Yugo M48A? I was considering the information on the box of bullets that said not to use in "older" firearms, and I know there are a lot of Mausers a lot older than this one, which is why I think I'm going to be okay with this ammo. I just want to be sure and ask some of the guru's here though. Thanks

Key departures: As usual, the Athletics did not keep their prime free agents. RHP Brandon McCarthy (pictured), SS Stephen Drew, 3B Brandon Inge and OF Jonny Gomes will not return. McCarthy was the opening day starter. The club brought in Drew for the final month's push. Gomes and Inge combined for 17 homers in 266 at-bats against left-handers.

Full Force boats, builders of the hydrofoiling RS600FF have announced a 'Come and Try' weekend for prospective new customers. Sailors can now experience the wonders of hydrofoiling by test sailing this sensational boat at the UK's premier dinghy sailing club.
The event will be held at Hayling Island Sailing Club on the 30th and 31st August.
On the evening of Saturday 30th sailors can enjoy a talk on the principles of Dinghy Hydrofoiling by Simon Payne, ex International Moth World Champion.
Linton Jenkins of Full Force boats believes that hydrofoiling is the future of dinghy sailing . . .
'Once people try it they are hooked' says Linton. 'You don't need to travel to far away events to have fun; it suits people with other things going on in their lives. Each time you sail you come back with a smile on your face having learnt something new. We want people to try it for themselves and we are delighted that Simon can come along and help sailors new to hydrofoiling to get the hang of it. Anyone who has ever thought 'I'd like to try one of those, should come!'
The RS600FF is going from strength to strength with a very successful training weekend held recently at Weymouth and the National Championships on the 18th and 19th October at Hayling Island Sailing Club. Complete new boats are now being built by Full Force boats of Portland Dorset.
Interested sailors should contact email@example.com to reserve their place.

Penalty Shots
Some things you might not have known...
Martin Straka's goal is the first-ever penalty shot goal in an Islander-Ranger game. There were three previous failures:
Don Murdoch on Chico Resch 1/28/78 Randy Wood on Mike Richter 4/5/90 [playoffs] Claude Lapointe on Mike Richter 10/25/98
[There has never been a penalty shot goal in an Islander-Devil game.]
Straka is now 3/8 on his career in penalty shots [3/7 in regular season and 0/1 in playoffs]
DiPietro had stopped four previous penalty shots: Stopped Michael Nylander [WSH], December 21, 2002 Stopped Erik Cole [CAR], April 2, 2004 Stopped Patrik Stefan [ATL], October 25, 2005 Stopped Dany Heatley [OTT], November 5, 2005
It's the first time in Islander history that they've allowed two penalty shot goals in one season [Vincent Lecavalier scored on January 2nd].
DiPietro has now faced five penalty shots, tying the club record set by Kelly Hrudey. [Resch, Smith and Snow have each faced four in regular season play]
The Isles have allowed five penalty shots this season, which is a new club record. The previous mark of four was set in the 1977-78 season. The Isles faced only three penalty shots in all of the 1990's [779 regular season games]
Leaguewide, there have been 28 penalty shot goals on 73 shots this season. Both are NHL records by wide margins. The shooters are getting more accurate too-- over the prior two seasons combined there were 27 goals on 96 shots. There were only 27 penalty shot goals throughout the league over the first eight seasons of Islander history.

Shaw now 5-3-1 as Isles coach
With Tuesday's win over Washington, Brad Shaw is now 5-3-1 behind the Isles bench and the team has not gone consecutive games without a point at any time during his tenure. Shaw is the only interim coach in Isles history to hold a winning record after nine games; the only other time any Islander coach held a winning record nine games into any tenure was when Peter Laviolette was 7-0-1-1 in his first nine games.

OK, got it. There are pics of forum members in my blog if interested (link in signature below).
Got some footage of Yen, Alex2, LewisAClark and a few others.
Sunday was another 42 miles on the trail with Gina and Jose (El Monarcha). Another stiff headwind, but when isn't it ha ha! Quickly ran into PinoybenterRon. Nice to see him after a long time without having a chance to chat. Later in the ride we would pick up LewisAClark who joined in our little fight the wind line. I would have to say that I was tired this day so having reinforcements was great. Both dudes, Jose and LAC took good strong pulls and lead the way to the coast, nice!
At the coast we had a short visit with Jordan and met an interesting dude named Rambler. Wow, what a nice Colnago. He had some nice stuff, seat post and stem painted to match the bike as well as some custom decals on his wheels. Pleasant girlfriend and lots of good humor from the guy! Forgot to dd that Rambler met Ernesto and had his bike signed in ink. He has it covered up with some 3M clear tape to keep it protected.
Gina's sons were at the coast having some beach fun so we rode down the way for a visit. Along with a visit with grand kids I got a piece of chicken so I was happy.
Saturday visits and a short bit or ride footage was mixed in with this video.

Jane Fancher
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2007)
Jane Suzanne Fancher (born 1952) is a science fiction and fantasy author and artist. She has published six science fiction and fantasy novels as well as two short stories.
In the early 1980s she worked for Warp Graphics as an art assistant on Elfquest, providing inking assistance on the black and white comics and coloring on Books 2 and 3 of the original graphic novel reprints. Subsequent reprint editions have omitted her name from the art credits, and later graphic novel editions have used different coloring.
She was also the creator of the graphic novel adaptation of C. J. Cherryh's Gate of Ivrel, the first novel in Cherryh's Morgaine series. This originally began as a self-published black & white comic book that only appeared for one issue (1985). Later Fancher expanded the material in color for professional publication as a series of graphic novels. The series includes Gate of Ivrel: No. 1 (the black & white version), plus the two color issues: Gate of Ivrel: Claiming Rites (1986) and Gate of Ivrel: Fever Dreams (1987). All three graphic novels were done in collaboration with C. J. Cherryh. Although the series was cut short halfway through the story, this led to Jane becoming an author herself, as well as frequent professional collaboration, a close friendship and romantic relationship.
Fancher's books include the "Groundties" series, as well as the "Dance of the Rings" trilogy: Ring of Lightning (1995); Ring of Intrigue (1997), and Ring of Destiny (1999). A fourth book in the series is being written.
The original "Groundties" trilogy (Groundties, Uplink, Harmonies of the 'Net) was published in e-book form in 2011, and is undergoing a re-write by Fancher (2011/2012).[1] There's also a prequel, entitled the "'NetWalkers".[1]
Fancher, Cherryh and author Lynn Abbey run an online publishing house, Closed Circle, to market their own work.[2]

off the top of my head the only time they talked about not having a doctor was Message in a Bottle, which would make sense if they made the back up after that. Then there was virtuoso where he wanted to leave to be a singer, and then Life Line where he wanted to go help zimmerman.

"These People Aren't Very Big on Player Reps" 1: Career Length, Mobility, and Union Activism in Major League Baseball
Donald A. Coffin
The Labor-Management Relations Act explicitly protects union members, and more specifically union activists, against differential or discriminatory treatment by employers. 2 Discharge of an employee because of that employee's union activity is prohibited, as are certain transfers or disciplinary actions. This does not, however, eliminate concerns among employees that union activities may lead to employer retaliation. Indeed, the long-time executive director ( Marvin Miller) of the Major League Baseball (MLB) Players' Association has made it clear that he believes that owners of MLB clubs frequently take actions to shorten the careers of player representatives, or to rid themselves of the player reps by trading their contracts to other clubs. 3
Although the number of cases cited by Miller may be limited, and although there may be differing interpretations of these cases, he raises an interesting and difficult issue. All players see their careers end, generally while they are still younger than forty. Almost all players move between teams during their careers. Disentangling the causes of the end of a career, or of a particular player move, is difficult. Nonetheless, the larger questions (Are player reps treated differently? Do they have shorter careers? Do they move between teams more often?) may be approach for statistically, rather than anecdotally.
This chapter examines the length of the careers of player reps and of other players and the frequency with which player reps and others move between teams. Assuming Miller is correct, the initial hypotheses are first, that player reps will have shorter careers after having controlled for other factors affecting career length, and second, that player reps will move between teams more frequently after controlling for other factors affecting mobility.

There is the alternative to use 9.7" spooled aerial film.
The disadvantage, next to cutting, lack of stiffness, and maybe curl, is that one has to buy at least 250'.
But one could place the rest of a roll in the freezer, and stack the cut sheets for a while to allow to set. To conquer lack of stiffness one could modify the holder.

I have taught art-based classes and healing arts workshops since 1999. My personal philosophy is that we are all creative. I believe that working with your hands is a necessary component of human experience. I also believe that by coming together to play, share and create we build connections to one another and enhance our sense of community.
I am an artist, educator, and advocate for art in our communities. I have a Master's in Adult Education with a focus on creativity. I also have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fiber Art and a Minor in Women's Studies from the University of Washington. Most recently, my passions for healing and connection have led me to shift my professional focus to become a licensed massage practitioner. I provide therapeutic massage, CranioSacral therapy and visceral manipulation in Port Orchard and Silverdale.
Through the years I have offered courses through the UW Experimental College, Hillsboro Parks and Recreation in Oregon, Burien Parks and Recreation, UW Women's Center, Pike Market Senior Center, and Earthues a natural color company in Ballard.
I love public projects and community art. I have been an Artist in Residence working as the design artist and facilitator for these public projects:
• Wetlands Mosaic, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Education Center, Greater Hillsboro Area Leadership Project (2003)
• The Mosaic Peace Project, Eckstein Middle School (2001)
• The All-Stars Quilt Project, Pike Market Senior Center (2000)
My work is available for purchase at Harborview Massage & Wellness Center, my private practice. I also have pieces on display at the University of Washington, in the UW Special Collections Library and Mary Gates Hall, as well as at private residences in the Western United States.
I am available for commissions, public art facilitation, and private art-parties.
For more information about projects, my work, mosaic classes please feel free to contact me.
Create. Play. Breathe deep. Live your dreams.

|Use of physics based models in hyperspectral image exploitation
|Schott, John; Lee, Kyungsuk; Raqueno, Rolando; Hoffman, Gary
|This paper describes a concept for using physics based models to support exploitation of remotely sensed image spectrometer data. It then reviews several methods from the literature illustrating more specifically how physics based models have been used as part of atmospheric correction, water quality assessment and temperature measurement algorithms. Finally a new approach for using model based techniques for subpixel target detection is presented This technique builds on a previously introduced invariant method that uses physics based models to support target detection of fully resolved targets without requiring in scene training or atmospheric correction. An example using the new subpixel invariant method applied to an AVIRIS image is presented.

I took up knitting in the winter of 2011 and was immediately addicted. I always have a project with me and love having yet another opportunity to combine my photography skills with all my finished products.
The art of "flooding" and decorating sugar cookies can be very frustrating and time-consuming but leads to amazing, beautiful results. I've been decorating cookies for years, always trying to find fun new ways to manipulate the colors and patterns of the icing.
Over the years I've been tasked with a plethora of product. Whether it's electronics, kitchenware, soft goods, jewelry--I've handled it all.
There is no challenge quite like taking a few bare walls or a blank surface and turning them into a home.
I am grateful to have so many friends and family members that have such interesting lives and don't mind me tagging along with my camera to document them and their hobbies.
Traveling is just an excuse to take more pictures. I'm always ready for a new adventure--whether down the street or across the country! Where to next?

Her music will be performed by the UW-RF Concert Choir and St. Croix Valley Symphony Orchestra, along with the River Falls United Methodist Senior Choir, St. Patrick Catholic Church Celebration Choir and UW-RF music faculty members.
Tann is a professor of music and chair of the performing arts department at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. She has been house composer since 1989 for the Oxford University Press, and is an active member of the International League of Women Composers.
Her works, inspired by the deep love of nature she developed as a child growing up in the coal-mining valleys of South Wales, have been commissioned by prominent orchestras and are performed extensively throughout the United States and the United Kingdom.
Her most recent work, a three-movement piece called "Sarsen," commissioned by the St. Croix Valley Symphony Orchestra, the Saratoga Springs Youth Orchestra and the community orchestra of Cedar Springs, Utah, is the first she has written for a college/community/youth orchestra. The May 14 program will also include works for choir, chamber music and instrumental solos.
The concert is free and open to the public, but a ticket is necessary to reserve a seat. Call 715/425-3183 for ticket information.

How do I sponsor a migrant?
Your sponsorship duties
This section explains your sponsorship duties under the points-based system, including your duties under different tiers, and your duties of recordkeeping, reporting and compliance.
As a sponsor, you must meet certain duties to make sure immigration controls remain effective. The aims of these duties are to:
- prevent abuse of assessment procedures;
- capture any patterns of migrant behaviour early which cause concern;
- address possible weaknesses in your processes which cause those patterns; and
- monitor compliance with immigration rules.
If you have any queries about your sponsorship duties, you should raise them with our visiting officers who provide advice and act as a general point of contact.
You can use the employer checking service which is a developing service that offers employers an opportunity to check the status of individuals to work in the United Kingdom.
